Chapter 7 This is Japan's opportunity!
Chiyoda Ward is next door to Shinjuku Ward.
An ordinary three-story building.
The sign hanging at the entrance indicates that this is a subordinate agency of the Ministry of the Environment.
Fifth underground floor, Special Phenomena Lesson.
This is a new department that has only been established for six months.
However, it occupies the entire fifth floor.
The importance that the top leadership attaches to it is self-evident.
Even within this building, most people don't know what the newly established department on the fifth floor does.
At this moment, in the conference room.
A man in his fifties, with graying temples, wearing a suit, is listening to a work report from his subordinate.
He is Masakazu Mizumura, the head of the Special Phenomena Division.
As Secretary Ito pressed the remote control in her hand, the large screen in the conference room lit up instantly.
Above it was a live feed of more than a dozen rooms.
Those rooms were all made of an unknown metal.
It looks exceptionally sturdy.
In almost every room, a twisted and terrifying monster was imprisoned.
There was only one room, and there was only one person inside.
Atsushi Sada, who was in charge of the report, bowed deeply, his face full of shame, and said, "Taiga Aisaka underwent an anomaly today. We took many preventative measures, but they were ineffective, and we have yet to find a way to prevent the anomaly of the fantasy species."
Upon hearing this, Mizumura Masakazu frowned deeply.
He stared at the monster on the screen, his gaze sinister.
He was clearly in a bad mood.
After a long silence, he finally turned his gaze to the last remaining person and asked, "How is Violet?"
Atsushi Sada quickly replied, "Violet is doing well!"
"She was a soldier, and in the original work, she was a combat weapon who obeyed orders from others."
"Therefore, she was emotionally stable and willing to cooperate with our research."
"We speculate that the anomaly may be related to emotions."
"If we can keep the fantasy species emotionally stable, perhaps we can delay, or even prevent, the mutation!"
"In addition..." He took out a document and respectfully handed it over with both hands, "We obtained some technology from Violet's mechanical prosthetics."
However, Mizumura Masakazu did not reach out to take it.
He stared intently at his subordinates with a cold and sinister gaze.
He watched until his forehead was covered in cold sweat.
He slowly said, "Sada-kun, is this the result you've presented?"
"This, this..." Atsushi Sada didn't dare to answer.
Bang-!
Mizumura Masakazu slammed his hand on the table.
"That's not what I want!!"
Everyone immediately lowered their heads, remaining silent as if terrified.
The meeting room fell silent instantly.
They certainly know what the higher-ups want.
How did the fantasy species come into being?
How did they come to the real world?
How did human beings come to create life and the world?
Why would a fantasy species mutate into a monster?
These are the things the higher-ups want to know.
To be precise, it's the benefits that can be gained after understanding these issues.
But these things are not easily understood through research.
Which of those researchers doesn't want to know how the fantastical species came into being? Which of them doesn't want to know how the fantastical species came into the real world?
They were very curious and excited!
I dream about my research every night!
But there are no results for the time being!
The higher-ups are pressuring us hard.
Unfortunately, all the captured fantasy species mutated.
So I had no choice but to produce some results to get by.
Unexpectedly, this only provoked the section chief to fly into a rage.
Suppressing his anger, Mizumura Masakazu asked again, "What about those mutants? Is there any way to control them?"
Sada Atsushi, forcing himself to speak, continued his report: "We haven't found a way to control them yet, but we can soothe them to some extent by using sound waves of a specific frequency."
"Can it be mass-produced?"
"By injecting the blood of mutants into humans, we can create similar monsters. Although they are weaker, they are easier to control, and we have already made some progress in this area."
"What if we injected the blood of a fantasy species into a human body?"
No unusual phenomena have been observed so far.
"How's the research on that blood coming along?"
"The blood of the mutants is filled with several violent, unknown factors, which we are studying with all our might. As for the fantasy species, we don't have any clues yet; they seem to have little difference from the blood of ordinary humans..."
"What about the sperm and eggs of the fantasy species? Can they be combined with human sperm and eggs to create embryos in a laboratory?"
"Progress is difficult, but we've made some progress."
Mizumura Masakazu's expression softened slightly: "See, haven't you achieved some results?"
He glanced indifferently at the documents in Atsushi Sada's hand.
"Don't waste your energy on those unimportant things anymore."
He was very unhappy that they were researching mechanical prosthetics.
Those things were just scraps in his eyes.
Sada Atsushi breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his brow, and bowed repeatedly, saying, "Yes! I understand!"
Then, after a moment's hesitation, he said, "We need more subjects for our research."
Mizumura Masakazu said, "Don't worry, if we capture any new fantasy or mutated species, we'll send them here immediately. Also, the higher-ups are currently discussing whether to establish a secret department specifically for capturing them."
Atsushi Sada added, "We need more humans to conduct experiments."
"No problem," Mizumura nodded in agreement.
At this moment, a researcher present suddenly sighed, "If only we had some powerful fantasy species, all we've captured so far are ordinary humans."
"Indeed, that would be more valuable for research!"
Some people nodded in agreement.
"I am particularly interested in races, especially those of other races."
"Well, being too powerful isn't good, is it?"
"For example?"
"Hmm... Goku-san?"
"Wow... if he mutates, Earth is doomed!"
"really."
"There are some fantasy works where the protagonist is an ordinary person, but the things in the works are of great research value."
"For example?"
"The time machine in Steins;Gate".
"Technological creations must follow the physical laws of the real world, right? Time machines simply won't work; they'd probably fail in the real world."
"Well... perhaps the world will correct itself?"
"What about non-technological creations? For example, the Death Note."
"The Death Note... I wish I could study it."
The more they talked, the more enthusiastic they became.
Mizumura Masakazu did not interrupt them.
As they said, in addition to the significance represented by the fantasy species and fantasy world itself, the elements in the work are also of immeasurable value.
Putting everything else aside, just consider the time machine and the Death Note they mentioned; if we could get our hands on them…
"Gentlemen," Mizumura Masakazu gently patted the table.
The crowd quieted down.
Mizumura Masakazu said solemnly, "Without a doubt, the appearance of the Fantasy Species is a huge opportunity!"
"An unprecedented opportunity in human history!"
"Japan will surely rise again because of this!"
"At that time, neither the United States nor China will be able to stop us!"
Let us strive together, everyone!
"Long live the Great Japanese Empire!"
"Long live the Great Japanese Empire!!!"
