Translate this from Japanese to English: ### JAPANESE: 俺は思わず、メイリアスを抱きしめた。そんなこんなで、ようやくリコの荷物も運び込まれ、リコも館に落ち着き、俺たちの新生活はスタートした。一緒に生活をしてみると、思いがけない発見が多くあった。一番驚いたのが、リコとメイリアスが昼と夜とでは別人の顔を持っていたということだ。昼間は勝ち気で、歯に衣着せぬ物言いで、頭の回転の速さを存分に見せつけるリコが、俺と二人っきりになると、途端に大人しくなるのだ。どちらかというと受け身で、寂しがりやで、俺から離れようとしない。ハグとキスをしてやると、とてもうれしそうな顔をする。それでいて感度は抜群なので、俺は俺でかなり頑張ってしまう。一方のメイリアスは、昼間はつつましやかなのであるが、二人っきりになると、お互いがどうしたら一番よくなるのかを試行錯誤する。研究者の血がそうさせるのかどうかはわからないが、リコと比べると、かなり積極的だ。嫁二人に関しては、全く不満はない。二人とも俺を癒してくれるし、お互いが認め合っているので、今のところ夫婦間の問題は皆無である。ただ最近、リコの寂しがりや度が増してしまい、俺とメイリアスが一緒にいる時に乱入されるのは、少々恥ずかしいのだが。両腕を使って腕枕をしながら寝ることが多くなっており、少々腕が疲れるのだが、贅沢な悩みではあるので、今のところ誰にも相談をしていない。ゴン、ペーリス、イリモ、ジェネハ、そしてハーピーたち。みんな仲良く暮らしている。俺を含めて全員が、ようやく安息の地と時間を手に入れた気がしていた。しかしそれから間もなく俺は、とんでもない事実を知ることになり、そして新たな問題を抱えることになるのだった。 ### ENGLISH: I hugged Merias without thinking. One way or another, Rico’s baggage was brought inside and she finally settled down in my mansion. This was a start of our new life. When we started living together, I discovered some things I didn’t expect. I was surprised the most at the fact that Rico and Merias seemed like completely different people during the day and during the night. She shows her strong character and intelligence during the daytime, but once we are alone, she becomes extremely obedient. She turns passive and never leaves my side due to her loneliness. She looks incredibly happy when I hug or kiss her. That being said, she is quite sensitive and I end up working hard before I know it. On the other hand, Merias behaves modestly during the day, but when we are alone, she tries to discover the best ways for us to make each other feel good. I don’t know if it was her researcher’s blood going wild, but compared to Rico she was much more aggressive. [] I have absolutely no complaints about my wives. The two could always make me relax, and since they recognized each other, there were no family quarrels as of now. It’s just, recently Rico started sneaking inside when I was alone with Merias making me embarrassed. We slept together as they used my arms as pillows. It was a bit hard on my arms, but since it is a rather luxurious problem, I decided to not bring it up. [] Gon, Peris, Irimo, Jeneha, and the harpies. Everyone lives in harmony. Including me, everyone felt that they finally reached the peaceful times. However, shortly afterwards I came to know about the shocking truth and ended up entangled in another problem.</s>

They are very important to how we communicate with each other. As a result, we're tuned in to the subtlest things that could possibly be wrong with a computer rendering, in order to believe whether these things are realistic. And what I'm going to do in the next five minutes is take you through a process where we tried to create a reasonably photo-realistic computer-generated face, using some computer graphics technology we've developed, and also some collaborators at a company called Image Metrics. And we're going to try to do a photo-real face of an actress named Emily O'Brien, who is right there. And that's actually a completely computer-generated rendering of her face. By the end of the talk, we're going to see it move. The way that we did this is we tried to start with Emily herself, who was gracious enough to come to our laboratory in Marina Del Rey, and sit for a session in Light Stage 5. This is a face-scanning sphere, with 156 white LEDs all around in a series of very controlled illumination conditions. And the lighting that we use these days looks something like this. We shoot all of these photographs in about three seconds. And we basically capture enough information with video projector patterns that drape over the contours of her face, and different principle directions of light from the light stage, to figure out both the coarse-scale and the fine-scale detail of her face. If we zoom in on this photograph right here, we can see it's a really nice photograph to have of her, because she is lit from absolutely everywhere at the same time to get a nice image of her facial texture. And in addition, we've actually used polarizers on all the lights -- just like polarized sunglasses can block the glare off of the road, polarizers can block the shine off of the skin, so we don't get all those specular reflections to take this map. Now, if we turn the polarizers around just a little bit, we can actually bring that specular reflection of the skin back in, and you can see she looks kind of shiny and oily at this point. If you take the difference between these two images here, you can get an image lit from the entire sphere of light of just the shine off of Emily's skin. I don't think any photograph like this had ever been taken before we had done this. And this is very important light to capture, because this is the light that reflects off the first surface of the skin. It doesn't get underneath the translucent layers of the skin and blur out. And, as a result, it's a very good cue to the detailed shape of the skin-pore structure and all of the fine wrinkles that all of us have, the things that actually make us look like real humans. So, if we use information that comes off of this specular reflection, we can go from a traditional face scan that might have the gross contours of the face and the basic shape, that puts in all of that skin pore structure and fine wrinkles.</s>

Well, one or two brave souls. This is actually a direct quote from an epidemiologist who's been in field of HIV for 15 years, worked on four continents, and you're looking at her. And I am now going to argue that this is only half true. People do get HIV because they do stupid things, but most of them are doing stupid things for perfectly rational reasons. Now, "rational" is the dominant paradigm in public health, and if you put your public health nerd glasses on, about what's good for them and what's bad for them, if you give them the services that they can use to act on that information, and a little bit of motivation, people will make rational decisions and live long and healthy lives. Wonderful. That's slightly problematic for me because I work in HIV, and although I'm sure you all know that HIV is about poverty and gender inequality, and if you were at TED '07 it's about coffee prices ... Actually, HIV's about sex and drugs, human beings a little bit irrational, they are erections and addiction. So, let's start with what's rational for an addict. Now, I remember speaking to an Indonesian friend of mine, Frankie. We were having lunch and he was telling me about when he was in jail in Bali for a drug injection. It was someone's birthday, and they had very kindly smuggled some heroin into jail, and he was very generously sharing it out with all of his colleagues. And so everyone lined up, all the smackheads in a row, and the guy whose birthday it was filled up the fit, and he went down and started injecting people. So he injects the first guy, and then he's wiping the needle on his shirt, and he injects the next guy. And Frankie says, "I'm number 22 in line, and I can see the needle coming down towards me, and there is blood all over the place. It's getting blunter and blunter. And a small part of my brain is thinking, 'That is so gross and really dangerous,' but most of my brain is thinking, 'Please let there be some smack left by the time it gets to me. Please let there be some left.'" And then, telling me this story, Frankie said, "You know ... God, drugs really make you stupid." And, you know, you can't fault him for accuracy. But, actually, Frankie, at that time, was a heroin addict and he was in jail. So his choice was either to accept that dirty needle or not to get high. And if there's one place you really want to get high, it's when you're in jail. But I'm a scientist and I don't like to make data out of anecdotes, so let's look at some data.</s>

S-Sheila.” “Yes.” “.... Sheila.” “Yes.” “A-ah, it’s embarrassing to look at each other and call you like this.... Are friends really like this?” Sheila watched Wilfrecht, red-cheeked and embarrassed, with a grin on her face. She was completely defeated by the consecutive attacks from him. He went back to his harvesting work to escape the ulterior motive-laden gaze. “I wouldn’t be so nervous if we were talking about medicinal herbs.” “Your Highness is steadily becoming a herb geek, aren’t you?” “Is that really something to be happy about....?” “I’m very happy to see the love Your Highness has for plants.” When Sheila responded with a sincere smile, Wilfrecht also smiled shyly. His clear blue eyes gazed lovingly at the gentian flowers. “.... Raising it from scratch and seeing it grow up so well makes me happy. Even my hands, which have nothing, can create something.” Even though he was smiling, his dialogue sounded awfully lonely. Sheila involuntarily stopped harvesting. “Having nothing... I don’t think anyone would say that about His Highness.” Wilfrecht’s smile turned into something so fleeting that it almost disappeared. Sheila was perplexed as she clearly saw a hint of cynicism behind his eyes. It was the first time she had seen such a self-mocking expression on his face. “――I hate my flaws...” His smile was so beautiful and sad at the same time.</s>

The first time I drink, I should do so alone. Merc was adamant about not drinking since she didn’t want to grow tipsy and embarrass herself. Her decision seemed to be well received by the other elves in her area. It was apparently good for an adult to be able to show restraint. “Hey, Merc. Congratulations.” Merc stumbled across Jonahim after escaping the raucous group of elves and running to the corner of the assembly hall to get some water. Merc deduced from his not-so-red complexion that he hadn’t drank much. “Thank you. Do you not drink, Jonahim?” “I do. It’s simply because I’m not comfortable drinking that much in an unfamiliar place.” “That’s a very adventurer-like way of thinking.” Nothing less from a soon-to-be Grade Adventurer. He has his guard up even in a place like this. Alcohol had caused mighty explorers to lose their senses and lose in the past. When it came to Jonahim, though, such worries didn’t seem to be necessary. “By the way, are all elves given a name when they become adults?” Jonahim asked with a serious face. “Hm? Oh, you mean during the Accolade. No, most don’t. I would not have received one if I had waited until I was to perform the ceremony.” Merc had expected Jonahim to ask another question based on his expression, but it turned out he just wanted to know about the ceremony. She continued to explain in a disappointed tone, feeling a little letdown. “The names given during the Accolade can be considered as medals bestowed by the Chief on people who have contributed to the village before the age of sixteen. You can consider them titles.” “Titles, huh... But still, Velchedo as in Velche Slayer is a bit...” “It’s not that I dislike it... It’s heroic, but is that truly a name for a girl?” Merc spat out her water after hearing Jonahim say that with a straight face. Fortunately, the water did not land on Jonahim. cough “I mean, it’s Velche Slayer... Merc Velchedo... It doesn’t fit your stunning beauty, no matter how I look at it.” “You... Do you go around and say such things to everyone?” “Huh?” Jonahim asked, his expression revealing his ignorance. It appeared as if he really was doing it unconsciously. Merc, on the other hand, was quite familiar with this behavior. I want to murder this b̲a̲s̲t̲a̲r̲d̲... Merc was certain Elea had fallen for him just because of that. She wasn’t sure how things were going with Luka, but she didn’t seem like the type of woman who would fall in love with someone based on a few compliments. Merc had witnessed a lot of this in her past life, when she was still known as Estert.</s>

At any rate, it looks like my collection of bugging devices, recorders, and ultra-compact cameras will increase again. And I wonder if we will get another “little girl who is bored and comes to me for someone to talk to” or something like that. ......In the room of two filthy old men. I heard that it has been officially announced that Count Bozes will be promoted to the rank of Marquis. ...Ceremony or Party? No, I don’t want to get involved in that. It’s not a debutante ball where the success of the party greatly affects the girl’s future. Besides, there must be some traditional customs and manners for such an event, so it would not be enough to hold an eccentric event. It should be a solemn and quiet event. It will probably be a national event, attended by the king and other higher-ups...... “Well, that’s certainly true, but I’d like to order food for the party...” (Count Bozes) While I was thinking that, a request came from Count-sama. “Eh~...” (Mitsuha) “No, putting aside the ceremony, there’s no way I could betray the expectations of my guests at a party where the Boses family is the main attraction, by not serving Yamano cuisine! Please, I’ll pay you properly and I’ll ask Viscount Reiner to do it for me!” (Count Bozes) Oh yeah, Viscount Reiner’s house is Adelaide-chan’s house, isn’t it? ......That means I’ll be asking Marcel-san and his crew, who have had special training in Yamano cuisine, to support me. Just like at Beatrice-chan’s debutante ball. “Then you don’t need me to be there, do you?......” (Mitsuha) “No way! This is probably the biggest stage of my life, of the Bozes family. We have to show the nobles all over the country the utmost dignity.... Yes, absolutely!!” (Count Bozes) Ah~... Well, I guess it can’t be helped. It’s not going to be street food, as you’d expect, so it’ll be regular platters, desserts, and alcoholic beverages... If that’s the case, I should ask Viscount Reiner’s chefs and bring them a large amount of food from my Japanese residence. Sweets, fruits, canned food, and retort pouches that can be kept well for a long time, so we can prepare them in advance... “Understood...... Just food, right?” (Mitsuha) “Yes, that’s right. As one would expect, we can’t have any weird performances at the ceremony of the promotion or at the reception party.” (Count Bozes) Well, yeah. That’s right, I guess...

As long as I am around, I will definitely continue to protect her!” From Kouki’s viewpoint, he was being one-hundred-percent-beneficent in comforting a younger boy, but those were not the right words for that moment. In the eyes of the lovestruck Randell, this was translated as such: “I won’t let my woman leave me. I definitely won’t hand Kaori over to anybody!”The hero and the healer snuggling up intimately – that was a likely picture in his mind. His expression twisted in annoyance, Randell levelled a ‘you are my mortal enemy’ glare at Kouki. To him, they looked like lovers. “What are you saying? You think nothing of sending Kaori into dangerous places. I won’t lose to you! Kaori being with me is the better decision.”“Umm, well.” At the hostile words that Randell spoke, Kaori was at a loss and just smiled weakly, while Kouki was speechless. Shizuku, seeing Kouki like this, could only sigh. Before Kouki could say anything more to aggravate the already growling, angered prince, a cool but authoritative voice rang out. “Randell. Behave yourself. Can’t you see Kaori is troubled?” “B, big sister! ...B, But!” “No buts. Even though everyone is tired – to detain them in this place...who is it who isn’t thinking about others?” “Ugh...B, but!” “Randell?” “E..errand! I remember, I had an errand to run! Excuse me!” Refusing to admit his error, Randell turned on his heel and fled. Seeing his back fade from view, Princess Liliana spoke with a sigh. “Kaori, Kouki-san, I’m sorry about my brother. My apologies on his behalf.” Liliana lowered her head as she said that, causing her beautiful, straight blonde hair to flow downward. “Mm, don’t worry about it, Lili. Prince Randell was just concerned.” “I agree. Still, I don’t understand why he got angry...I didn’t say anything rude that I had to apologize for.” Kaori and Kouki said this as Liliana smiled thinly. Understanding well the sibling love between an older sister and her younger brother, Kaori sympathized with Liliana to some extent for having a brother completely ignorant of her feelings. Above all, it was important that the ‘mortal enemy’ knew that she was separate from this matter. By the way, the meetings between Randell and his ‘mortal enemy’ would cause a big stir...but that’s another story. Liliana was a talented lady of fourteen years.

And what struck me immediately was how in love the two of these people were. The grandmother was incredibly fond, deeply in love with this little girl. They slept on the floor at night. The way they heat their homes in Korea is to put bricks under the floors, so the heat actually radiates from underneath the floor. Hyun-Sook was 11 years old. I had photographed, as I said, a lot of these kids. Hyun-Sook was in fact the fifth child that I found to photograph. And almost universally, amongst all the kids, they were really psychologically damaged by having been made fun of, ridiculed, picked on and been rejected. And Korea was probably the place I found to be the worst for these kids. And what struck me immediately in meeting Hyun-Sook was how confident she appeared to be, how happy she seemed to be in her own skin. And remember this picture, because I'm going to show you another picture later, but you can see how much she looks like her grandmother, although she looks so Western. I decided to follow her to school. This is the first morning I stayed with her. This is on the way to school. This is the morning assembly outside her school. And I noticed that she was clowning around. When the teachers would ask questions, she'd be the first person to raise her hand. Again, not at all shy or withdrawn, or anything like the other children that I'd photographed. Again, the first one to go to the blackboard to answer questions. Getting in trouble for whispering into her best friend's ears in the middle of class. And one of the other things that I said to her through the translator -- again, this thing about saying stop -- was to not pay attention to me. And so, she really just completely ignored me most of the time. I noticed that at recess, she was the girl who picked the other girls to be on her team. It was very obvious, from the very beginning, that she was a leader. This is on the way home. And that's North Korea up along the hill. This is up along the DMZ. They would actually cover the windows every night, so that light couldn't be seen, because the South Korean government has said for years that the North Koreans may invade at any time. So there's always this -- the closer you were to North Korea, the more terrifying it was. Very often at school, I'd be taking pictures, and she would whisper into her girlfriends' ears, and then look at me and say, "Stop." And I would stand at attention, and all the girls would crack up, and it was sort of a little joke.</s>

OK, great. OK, so that's the healing one. Sensing and responding: feedback is a huge thing. This is a locust. There can be 80 million of them in a square kilometer, and yet they don't collide with one another. And yet we have 3.6 million car collisions a year. Right. There's a person at Newcastle who has figured out that it's a very large neuron. And she's actually figuring out how to make a collision-avoidance circuitry based on this very large neuron in the locust. This is a huge and important one, number 11. And that's the growing fertility. That means, you know, net fertility farming. We should be growing fertility. And, oh yes -- we get food, too. Because we have to grow the capacity of this planet to create more and more opportunities for life. And really, that's what other organisms do as well. In ensemble, that's what whole ecosystems do: they create more and more opportunities for life. Our farming has done the opposite. So, farming based on how a prairie builds soil, ranching based on how a native ungulate herd actually increases the health of the range, even wastewater treatment based on how a marsh not only cleans the water, but creates incredibly sparkling productivity. This is the simple design brief. I mean, it looks simple because the system, over 3.8 billion years, has worked this out. That is, those organisms that have not been able to figure out how to enhance or sweeten their places, are not around to tell us about it. That's the twelfth one. Life -- and this is the secret trick; this is the magic trick -- life creates conditions conducive to life. It builds soil; it cleans air; it cleans water; it mixes the cocktail of gases that you and I need to live. And it does that in the middle of having great foreplay and meeting their needs. So it's not mutually exclusive. We have to find a way to meet our needs, while making of this place an Eden. CA: Janine, thank you so much.</s>

I see. The specific image I have of a researcher or rather a mad scientist comes from my former world. How the researchers of this world are, I don’t really know. So naturally Ciel wouldn’t know either and I guess it’s only normal that she’s curious about it. 『In my former world, researchers or specifically people who are engrossed in research live in buildings with that sort of atmosphere. Imagine with lighting and such.』『Have you ever gone to houses like that, Ain?』『... Come to think of it, no. I guess it’s just scientists in stories tend to have that image.』 While I’ve never been to an actual research institution before, I feel like it should have proper safety measures and be more on the tidy side. Rather, I really don’t know much of my old world. I lived in a quite narrow world, huh. Going inside, the entrance had a pretty extravagant appearance. The ceiling was high and there were decorative vases. The parlor, reception hall, and the dining hall had expensive-looking furniture but these really don’t feel like Carol’s taste. 『It’s really different from what I expected.』『That I can understand. If I had to say, I didn’t think she’d like these sort of things.』 After passing through several rooms, we finally arrived at a moderately messy room that matches my imagination. 「Now that’s more relaxing.」「There you go saying that again... Cielmer’s here today, you know.」「Oh that’s right. Welcome to my palace.」 Saying so, she directed our sight to a room filled with books and a magic circles. It’s not to the point where there’s no floor to step on, but I can’t tell what’s what. In contrast to the proud-looking Carol, Ciel looked somewhat puzzled. 「The other rooms?」「Just for show. The guild gave this to me when I reached A-rank, you see. Even though I told them I didn’t want it. Since I’m A-rank, they said it would be problematic if I don’t live in a house like this.」「After all, when reaching A-rank, you’re going to have interactions with people of nobility here and there. Since there’s a chance of inviting them over, your house will have to look presentable, at the very least.」 Hearing Celia’s supplementary information, Ciel’s face warped into a slight grimace. 「That’s troublesome.」「For you, it’s irrelevant. Your house is Mistress Fiiyanamia’s house after all, so people won’t be visiting there anytime soon.」 If I remember correctly, I think we were told that we’re the first guest in a while. I guess visiting someone not much different from the king of a nation is not easy even for a noble. Moreover, Central is practically under Fiiyanamia’s dictatorship. If she says no, it’s an unshakable no. 「Well then, the nuisance is gone and we’re in a comfortable place now. I can ask you now, right?」「What?」 Carol straightened her back and spoke to Ciel. How do I say this? It’s like she’s been itching to ask since forever, based on her reaction. 「Is it ‘nice to meet you’? Or perhaps ‘it’s been a while’?」『This means that I don’t need to hide it, right?』『It should be fine. Though she’s using a leading question, we already planned to tell them about it anyways.』『That’s true.』「Nice to meet you, Carol.」</s>

Then, a creature jumped out of the clouds toward the colorful bird. “The creature that just came out ... it’s really ... like a wyvern ... oh, the flashy bird blew fire. Wow, the wyvern’s tail is like a spear.” The colorful bird that flew away from a Wyvern-like creature. It blew fire to the approaching Wyvern and resisted, but in the end it was pierced by the Wyvern’s Tail. The dogfight that started abruptly ended quickly. The Wyvern that slowly flies in the sky with a colorful bird attached to the tip of its tail. I saw it off with my mouth agape. “Hol ‘up, there’s no way an amazing creature like that lives in foreign countries! You know what? No matter what Ithink, it’s a Wyvern! The flashy birds were also blowing fire!” Though I screamed like that, no one answered me. Apparently, this is really an Aiwon Mall in another world. “Seriously, I think I’m imagining things. It’s really connected to another world, they really send me to another world.” I crouch down, hold my knees and mutter. Naoya Taniguchi, years old, has been an Aion Co., Ltd. employee for three year. I didn’t graduate from a prestigious university, so why did I join a prestigious company like Aiwon? Moreover, the seniors and juniors who are all the employees are from top universities. The aunts of the part-time job said, “Naoya is a good boy!” “I’m sure the result of your interview is going to be good!” “I’m sure the result of your interview was good!”, “It seems interesting to do business in another world!”, “I don’t have a family, and the summer bugs that fly into the fire are the ones waiting for me!” Guooooo! I hold my head while groaning. Correction: My Hair gets caught between the ring and the finger and that was the cause. I was in tears because it hurt. You see, it was me who said I wanted to work in a different world, and I didn’t want to go home. “No, please let me go home! What the heck is this world! There’s so many dangerous monsters here.!” And the only thing I can do is wait for half a year to communicate back to Japan. Even if I wanted to retire from Aiwon Co., Ltd I won’t be able to go home until the transfer gate is connected back. I don’t know how long I can endure this. It’s a rare experience that I’ve a high income, and it may be fun to do business in another world. Even though I thought that was a joke, I can’t blame anyone but myself for circling that option.

With it, I’ll overlook this incident.” “Yes! If that is what my lady desires!” Aigokeros lowered his head and started mumbling some incantation. He was probably reciting the incantation to remove the curse. Listening to Aigokeros, Aries muttered with dissatisfaction, “Even though you didn’t listen when I told you.” “If I may say something, Ruphas-sama. Even if I remove the debuff, the citizens of this country most likely would not calm down.” “What?” “To begin with, my debuff only causes the enemy’s emotion to be amplified. Which means, I merely gave them the push. As a consequence, even if I were to remove the debuff...” ....That, doesn’t sound too good. I remained silent to avoid showing agitation on the outside but was flustered on the inside. No wait, hang on, it’s fine. It’s still not the time to be flustered. If it’s Libra.... If it’s Libra, she’ll do something about it. The chances are, Jupiter had already been captured by Libra by now. If we stuck Jupiter in front of the citizens, it might be possible to reverse the situation. It was not possible for me to personally go out in front of the people, but I could leave the explaining part to Dina or Libra. “Mah, there’s still a method. We just have to bring forth the person that was pulling the strings in front of the people and redirect the emotions towards him. Dina, it’s fine for me to leave the negotiation to you right?” “Of course. Please leave it to me.” When I asked her the question, Dina was who hiding in the surrounding tree’s shadow to avoid getting caught in the fight stuck her head out. She seems to always be on standby in a good and safe position every time. Was this what you called diligence or was it something else? With a “gu”, she raised her thumb with a face full of confidence. “This Dina is not good at fighting but is good with words. I’ll skilfully manage this incident caused by Aigokeros-sama for you!” “..... Ruphas-sama.” Aigokeros strangely looked at Dina first then looked towards me. Ah, this development seems familiar. I guess you could say when it’s the third time, I’m quite used to it. Although I already predicted what Aigokeros was going to say next, I decided to at least listen to what he was going to say. In any event, he was probably going to say he didn’t know who Dina was –. “Is this woman, perhaps, the adviser that skilfully used stealth to always blend in with the background?” —Wh.... at......!!!?</s>

While many people responded in different ways about our education system, my response to the high-pressure environment was making bows with pieces of wood found near my apartment building. Why bows? I'm not quite sure. Perhaps, in the face of constant pressure, my caveman instinct of survival has connected with the bows. If you think about it, the bow has really helped drive human survival since prehistoric times. The area within three kilometers of my home used to be a mulberry forest during the Joseon dynasty, where silkworms were fed with mulberry leaves. In order to raise the historical awareness of this fact, the government has planted mulberry trees. The seeds from these trees also have spread by birds here and there that has been built around the 1988 Olympics. The area near these walls, which nobody bothers to pay attention to, had been left free from major intervention, and this is where I first found my treasures. As I fell deeper into bow making, I began to search far and beyond my neighborhood. When I went on school field trips, family vacations, or simply on my way home from extracurricular classes, I wandered around wooded areas and gathered tree branches with the tools that I sneaked inside my school bag. And they would be somethings like saws, knives, sickles and axes that I covered up with a piece of towel. I would bring the branches home, riding buses and subways, barely holding them in my hands. And I did not bring the tools here to Long Beach. Airport security. In the privacy of my room, covered in sawdust, I would saw, trim and polish wood all night long until a bow took shape. One day, I was changing the shape of a bamboo piece and ended up setting the place on fire. Where? The rooftop of my apartment building, a place where 96 families call home. A customer from a department store across from my building called 911, and I ran downstairs to tell my mom with half of my hair burned. I want to take this opportunity to tell my mom, in the audience today: Mom, I was really sorry, and I will be more careful with open fire from now on. My mother had to do a lot of explaining, telling people that her son did not commit a premeditated arson. I also researched extensively on bows around the world. In that process, I tried to combine the different bows from across time and places to create the most effective bow.</s>

Nevertheless, the potent flames were progressively melting the wall that the Snow Sage had fashioned, and if this situation persisted, the barriers would be melted away in a matter of seconds. Yet... “Oh dear, you are full of openings.” “Gah!” The Fox Princess glided beneath the Dragon Sovereign’s chin even swifter than previously, exceeding the speed of sound, and while doing so, she propelled a kick into the Dragon Sovereign’s mouth from above and below, inducing her mouth to close. An explosion took place in the Dragon Sovereign’s mouth as a consequence of the impact, driving her into a state of shock and anguish that left her slumped over. “She’s really impressive. Well then, it’s my turn, ‘Black blood flows in my body. All is devoured by the black mist. Now, let my blood become an ice storm and devour everything...’” The black mist clumped together in my right hand, initially resembling a series of bubbles clinging to each other, but gradually the bubbles burst to coalesce into a sphere, ultimately producing a perfect black sphere. Then I directed it at the Dragon Sovereign... “Here it comes! If you don’t want to get caught in the middle of this, you better run! ‘Outer Skill ・Kurokiribaku’!!” “This kind of thing is... argh!” “What! This must be a joke!?” “Uh-oh! That’s beyond dangerous!” The Dragon Sovereign’s scales collided with the black sphere. A thick layer of black fog and frost blanketed the area at that point, depriving the Dragon Sovereign of her HP, MP, and SP, which were absorbed into my body. Unfortunately, as Kurokiribaku was activated, the Fox Princess and the Snow Sage were fleeing at full speed out of its range. “Hah... you! If you are capable of this kind of skill, why didn’t you thoroughly explain it to us beforehand!” “Indeed! I’ve never seen such a crazy skill before!”</s>

And the figure plummets down to less than one homicide per 100,000 people per year in seven or eight European countries. Then, there is a slight uptick in the 1960s. The people who said that rock 'n' roll would lead to the decline of moral values actually had a grain of truth to that. But there was a decline from at least two orders of magnitude in homicide from the Middle Ages to the present, and the elbow occurred in the early sixteenth century. Let's click down now to the decade scale. According to non-governmental organizations that keep such statistics, since 1945, in Europe and the Americas, there has been a steep decline in interstate wars, in deadly ethnic riots or pogroms, and in military coups, even in South America. Worldwide, there's been a steep decline in deaths in interstate wars. The yellow bars here show the number of deaths per war per year from 1950 to the present. And, as you can see, the death rate goes down from 65,000 deaths per conflict per year in the 1950s to less than 2,000 deaths per conflict per year in this decade, as horrific as it is. Even in the year scale, one can see a decline of violence. Since the end of the Cold War, there have been fewer civil wars, fewer genocides -- indeed, a 90 percent reduction since post-World War II highs -- and even a reversal of the 1960s uptick in homicide and violent crime. This is from the FBI Uniform Crime Statistics. You can see that there is a fairly low rate of violence in the '50s and the '60s, then it soared upward for several decades, and began a precipitous decline, starting in the 1990s, so that it went back to the level that was last enjoyed in 1960. President Clinton, if you're here, thank you. So the question is, why are so many people so wrong about something so important? I think there are a number of reasons. One of them is we have better reporting. The Associated Press is a better chronicler of wars over the surface of the Earth There's a cognitive illusion. We cognitive psychologists know that the easier it is to recall specific instances of something, the higher the probability that you assign to it. Things that we read about in the paper with gory footage burn into memory more than reports of a lot more people dying in their beds of old age. There are dynamics in the opinion and advocacy markets: no one ever attracted observers, advocates and donors by saying things just seem to be getting better and better. There's guilt about our treatment of native peoples in modern intellectual life, and an unwillingness to acknowledge there could be anything good about Western culture.</s>

The name of the troupe was well known throughout the country, and the count was famous for his arts. Seeing that Inglis and Rafinha met him in the Royal Castle, would they be performing in the Royal Capital this time? When the Weissmall Troupe came to Ymir, the hometown of the girls, Inglis and Rafinha once stood on their stage to sing and dance at a performance. It was when both Inglis and Rafinha were only thirteen years old. They had saved the troupe that was assaulted by a pack of Magic Stone Beasts while it was on the way to Ymir, and with that as the impetus, the count scouted them in person. Thanks to her performance, Inglis had grown somewhat accustomed to the crowd when she was dressed up. When Rafinha saw this, she commented that Inglis had started a new page as a woman. She was not pleased to hear it at all. 「You two have grown even more beautiful in the past two years, yes! Oh my, what’s the matter? You’re all in tears!」「Uu......UWAaaaaahhhh!! Count Weissmall!!」「Save uss——!」 There was a reason for the reaction of Inglis and Rafinha towards Count Weissmall. When they met in Ymir, Ymir was having a bad harvest and was short of food. Both Inglis and Rafinha had restricted the amount of food they would eat to set an example for the people, and they were on a hunger strike back then just like they were now. The Weissmall Troupe showed up with plenty of their own foodstuff, and they had offered Inglis and Rafinha all the food they wanted if the girls would attend the performance. To be honest, it wouldn’t be an overstatement to say that they went to the performance that day because of the food. And so, the girls made the connection in their minds. Count Weissmall = A full stomach. 「My oh minnie my. I say, you two always seem to be hungry whenever you appear in front of me. Would it do for you to grab a bite on our troupe’s cater?」「「Yes! Please!」」「Hou hou! Then come, be my guest. But——you will be assisting the Weissmall Troupe in our performance in the Chiral Royal Capital, how does that sound?」「「We’ll do anything! We want to eat!」」「Hohou Hou! What a blessing, then! You two will be perfect for the performance! It must be fate that brings us together today! A godsend, must be!」「Yes! It has to be!!」「We also think it’s a godsend to meet you!」 At any rate, it seemed that they finally could have a meal to their hearts’ content. They had missed out on the banquet at the Royal Capital, but ultimately, it was good that they came here. They wanted to thank the Gods for their reunion with the Count. Inglis couldn’t sense the signs of the Gods in this world right now, though...</s>

Don’t look at me with those compassionate eyes. Don’t smile benevolently or anything. Don’t give me that weird attention. Don’t nod like you know what I’m talking about. Don’t give me that “I’m rooting for you both” pep talk!” A whirlwind of confusion ensued, and the place suddenly became noisy. However, since they were usually together, they were able to communicate with each other. The three of them managed to calm their feelings without any unwanted misunderstandings. “.... I see, I’m sorry. You two aren’t dating, are you?” Sheila breathed a sigh of relief as she adjusted her breathing, which had become rough for some reason. Even if the two of them were lovers, she would like to continue going out with them as before, but there would always be situations where she would have to be careful. “But I didn’t know that the academy was like that....” “Well, it’s only a small part of the story. We knew we had to tell you sometime, but you surprised us all of a sudden, didn’t you? But now that you know, you have to be careful from now on. You’re slender and have a woman’s face, you know. You can’t be sure that you won’t be attacked.” “.... Yes, I agree.” It would be twice as bad if she was attacked and her body was touched, and they found out she was a woman. Sheila nodded repeatedly with a thoughtful expression. “No matter how feminine he looks, it only takes a few words to know that this guy is a man among men. They’ll lose interest in five minutes you know, five minutes.” “...” Being declared a man among men was also complicated. As expected of the late bride and spinster of the village of Denan. Well, Sheila was now convinced that she wasn’t attractive enough and was someone who would make them lose interest in five minutes. Cody put his hand on her shoulder. “I’ve come all this way for a break, so let’s put all this talk to rest. Is there anywhere you want to go?” Zechs raised his hand with lightning speed. “The diner! The signboard girl, Arin-chan! I desperately want to see her now!” “I didn’t ask you, Zechs. Sheila, what are you going to do?

That it wasn’t a request through the guild. And because of that, it did not affect their rank. Also, the guild did not take a percentage of the reward money. That wasn’t fair. So it was only right that I should pay them extra. I said this as seriously as possible. “But if we accepted your share of the reward...” “No, this is me repaying my debt to you two.” It took a while, but they were finally satisfied after much talking. And so Ario, Josh, and Serulis set off to the guild with the magic stones. I decided to bury the bones of the demon rats in the yard. “I’ll help you!” Milka ran out of the mansion and along with Luchila, helped me in digging the hole. Now that the fire was gone, Grulf came out and helped us. He dug with his front paws as fast as he could. “Cluck-cluck.” Gerberga had come out into the garden with Luchila and was taking a walk in the garden. When we were finished burying the bones, Milka said, “It still stinks!” “Burning demon rats tend to do that.” “No! You stink, Mister Locke! You smell like sewage water!” “Oh.” Well, I had been thoroughly soaked in it. Why wouldn’t I smell? “Mister Locke, will you take a bath? I think you should.” “Yes. I think I will.” “Yes! I had it prepared so you can take one any time!” “That’s very helpful. Thank you, Milka.” “It-it’s my job! Don’t even mention it.” I returned to my room first to get a new set of clothing. Then I headed for the bathing room. Grulf followed me. His tail was wagging happily. “I think you need to be washed too...but have you ever taken a bath?” “Groof?” Most cats hated it. For dogs, it could vary. But I did feel that most dogs disliked bathing. “I washed you in the river, but I think we should clean you up again.” The bathing room was very large. This was a nobleman’s mansion after all. Milka and Serulis seemed to have done a good job cleaning it. It looked very nice. “Grulf. Come over here, I’ll wash you.” I used some soap to wash his fur. “This sewage water is really filthy. We have to get it all off.” Grulf looked very comfortable. It was clear that he didn’t hate bathing. After I finished washing Grulf, I took my time cleaning myself, then entered the bathtub. “The water feels great!” Grulf seemed to really enjoy it.</s>

But the tournament isn’t over yet!” Even when I said this in a loud voice there was just some sporadic clapping. “You want to start that now? Wouldn’t Sir Fitzgerald be at a disadvantage?” I could hear the backbiting but decided to ignore it. There’s no way I could win against F in a normal fight, you know! (TN: At least you know that much) “Well, it is time to fight the final match at last, but I have a proposal for Sir Fitzgerald. For the final fight, how about we use our favourite weapons and not just some practice weapons?” My words caused a commotion in the Stadium. Because they don’t understand my intentions they seem puzzled. Of course, I don’t have any particular ulterior motives. I only want to only use my Oricalcum sword. Honestly, I didn’t feel like using that against F at all. It’s just a strategy to raise my winning chances at least a little. “Be at ease, my intentions aren’t to hurt you, Sir. How about stopping our attacks cm before they hit?” “I don’t have any objections. I agree to Carlo-sama’s idea.” F lowered his head. I knew that F would say that. “Well then, let’s start. Get mine and Sir Fitzgerald’s sword!” Here it is, here it is, here it is. My precious Oricalcum. With this, I’m at least one step closer to victory. First, my name was called. The applause and cheering were again sporadic. Isn’t that even less than last time? (TN: Well, duh) Then when F’s name was called next, a great cheer exceeding my expectations broke out. Looks like he completely got the favour of the audience. Didn’t you support Lunos a while ago? That’s why I hate groupies. (TN: un un u__u) “Then, shall we begin?” I tried to start the match immediately so that F can’t recover his stamina. I was riding White King and F was also riding his favourite horse. Like this, we greeted each other. The match began. OK, so how should I attack him? I have sparred many times with F so I know his attack patterns. However, F doesn’t know my speed when using this Oricalcum sword. I somehow have to use that. First I rushed forward with my horse to close the distance between us. We lightly struck our swords to get started. F waited for me to take action like he usually did when we sparred.</s>

It’s shocking how far they’ve suppressed their mana.” “I-, It’s true. Then, like this, nobody would even know they were demons.” “Lyris, it’s getting more and more important that we report back.” “Alec, what now? If they mix with the civilians, it’ll be difficult to find them.” “...Alright. It’s dangerous, but let’s memorize the mana of the Evil God.” “Isn’t that too dangerous? Maybe we shouldn’t...” “No, it’s dangerous, but it’s worth doing. We don’t even know if they’ll stay in the Capital. If they kept their mana suppressed and then disappeared beyond our borders, it would be impossible to ever find them. We only have this chance while the Evil God is still suppressing her mana.” “Got it. You’re right. If we remember the wavelength, then we can find her no matter where she goes.” “Lyris, watch the surroundings.” “Roger. But don’t overdo it. The Evil God is unfathomable.” Alec activated Trace. Every person has a different mana wavelength. If you succeed in examining their mana, you can grasp their location, and even teleport to them. Even if I fail to save Jessica now, as long as I know where she is, I can try again. Please succeed! Alec concentrated every fiber of his being to Search, and he began sweating like crazy. Will he succeed...? ...... ............ .................. “You’re watching me, aren’t you!” A sudden shout came from the Evil God. W-, What? That was a totally different voice to the earlier girl’s voice. What’s going on? All I can say is that the Evil God noticed our Search.</s>

Also, it’s rare seeing you leave your office, but please don’t break the door.” (Cortina) “If you keep complaining you’ll just get more wrinkles.” (Maxwell) “You wanna die!?” (Cortina) Maxwell busted into the infirmary gently riling up Cortina while he was at it. I heaved a sigh knowing gramps was just going to rouse up more trouble. Maxwell just rudely makes himself at home sliding open a cabinet to grab some tea leaves. Michelle and Letina just looked on astonished with their mouths agape. “That’s nothing to be so surprised about, they often come here to relax.” (Tricia) “Is... that so?” (Nicole) “If they’re seen outside it causes quite a stir, so they just come here instead.” (Tricia) “You’re a part of this country’s royal family, how about you take notice!?” (Cortina) Hearing Maxwell starts to quarrel with Cortina, I took the chance to speak to him, knowing from past experience, if left alone they’d just keep going on. “So what brings you here?” (Nicole) “Huh?” (Nicole) I trudged along towards Maxwell who had called me while setting down his cup and pulling out a chair, before he sat himself down and picked me up. “Ah, that’s not fair, I thought that was for me.” (Nicole) “First come, first served.” (Maxwell) “Um... So anyway...” (Nicole) “Ah. If it’s about the Queen Blossom, there should be one in the southern forest.” (Maxwell) “Seriously!?” (Nicole) I looked up at Maxwell from his lap.

Now, what would you do if by some chance they rose in revolt? Wanting to keep up with the current state of things is natural.” (Maxwell) “Well, that is certainly true. The Queen Blossom is said to have intelligence, so leading the treants is completely within the realms of possibility.” (Cortina) “The Queen Blossom probably won’t revolt if we don’t mess with them, but if we’re trying to steal the nectar...” (Maxwell) “That seems like it’d be a trigger for a revolt.

Just as I was thinking of fighting together with her, Jessica suddenly told me, “Ms. Tilea, I’ll leave the rest to you,” and left me here. I faintly knew what she meant, but I was trying to escape from reality. If only it had just been hypnotism, or she had just happened to be running at high speeds... Right now I’m faced with a most terrifying reality; a v with a demon. Aahh, I never even imagined that I would be stuck duelling the chief of the demons. Even if I have to fight him, I was hoping that at least Jessica would be here to support me with magic. Wahhh, to think that she abandoned me... “Fwo fwoh, simply useless struggling. I already remember her mana. If I teleport, I shall catch up in a jiffy.” “You hear that? Jessica, come baaaaaaaaack! Apparently even running is pointless, you know, so let’s fight together. At this rate, he’ll pick us off one by one, you know.” I shouted towards the back of the running Jessica, but she didn’t even turn to look at me. I see! Maybe she’s escaping with a wounded person, which is why she’s desperately ignoring me... “Fwo fwo fwoh, humans sure are cruel. It looks like you’re just a sacrificial pawn.” “I-, I’m not a pawn, okay. Jessica trusts in me, which is why she left me to take care of it.” He kind of pissed me off, so I accidentally spoke my mind. I don’t want to hear a demon talk about cruelty. Just what do you understand about Jessica! Yeah. I’m ashamed that I ever thought that she abandoned me. Jessica is just desperately trying to save her injured friend. She was badly hurt in her fight with this guy, and if she doesn’t get healed soon, she might even die. That’s why Jessica believed in my power (knowledge) and left for Headquarters first. And also, Jessica is still only fourteen. Basically a middle schooler. I’d be unforgivably pathetic if I was relying on a child for backup. If you include my old life, I’m already way too old to be acting like this. Y-, Yeah. This is for the best. While I buy some time, Jessica should just run. “I-, I won’t let you pass here. I-, I’m gonna stop you!” “Fwo, a human like you, is going to stop a demon like me? Hmph, acting quite conceited for a member of the weakest race!” “Just because we’re the weakest, doesn’t mean we can’t beat the strongest!” “Fwo fwoh, what a saucy girl. My injuries are healed now. I can catch up to those two whenever I want. Very well. This old man will play with you.” Saying that, the Chief of the Demons (strongest race) suddenly approached me.

But they also compared Obama to British Prime Minister Tony Blair, and they found that Blair was also thought of as more American than Obama, even though subjects explicitly understood that he's not American at all. But they were responding, of course, to the color of his skin. These stereotypes and biases have real-world consequences, both subtle and very important. In one recent study, researchers put ads on eBay for the sale of baseball cards. Some of them were held by white hands, others by black hands. They were the same baseball cards. The ones held by black hands got substantially smaller bids than the ones held by white hands. In research done at Stanford, psychologists explored the case of people sentenced for the murder of a white person. It turns out, holding everything else constant, if you look like the man on the right than the man on the left, and this is in large part because the man on the right looks more prototypically black, more prototypically African-American, and this apparently influences people's decisions So now that we know about this, how do we combat it? And there are different avenues. One avenue is to appeal to people's emotional responses, to appeal to people's empathy, and we often do that through stories. So if you are a liberal parent and you want to encourage your children to believe in the merits of nontraditional families, you might give them a book like this. ["Heather Has Two Mommies"] If you are conservative and have a different attitude, you might give them a book like this. ["Help! Mom! There Are Liberals under My Bed!"] But in general, stories can turn anonymous strangers into people who matter, and the idea that we care about people when we focus on them as individuals is an idea which has shown up across history. So Stalin apocryphally said, "A single death is a tragedy, a million deaths is a statistic," and Mother Teresa said, "If I look at the mass, I will never act. If I look at the one, I will." Psychologists have explored this. For instance, in one study, people were given a list of facts about a crisis, and it was seen how much they would donate to solve this crisis, and another group was given no facts at all but they were told of an individual and given a name and given a face, and it turns out that they gave far more. None of this I think is a secret to the people who are engaged in charity work. People don't tend to deluge people with facts and statistics. Rather, you show them faces, you show them people.</s>

Ganan’s face had relaxed considerably, and color was gradually returning to his face. “... Amazing. You really are amazing, Merc.” “W-What are you saying?! Hearing you say that makes me nervous rather than happy!” “You see, I already know. I’m fully aware that you are better to me in every way.” “......” “Intelligence, swordsmanship, running... There isn’t a single thing I could win at.” “... Keep quiet until the Healer comes.” “To top it off, you even put in more effort than me.” Despite his injuries, Ganan continued to speak. Merc tried to stop him from speaking because she thought it was dangerous, but it was futile. Ultimately, she could only listen to Ganan speak while reflexively looking up at the sky. “Even though I should find you detestable... Even though I only feel sad and empty when you’re around... I still think you’re amazing. I wonder... just why is it that I like you so much.” “Ahaha. Right? Even I don’t know. There’s no way you’d know... Merc.” “What?” “I like you.” Ganan said, looking Merc in the eyes. That intense gaze of his pierced directly through her heart. Merc, on the other hand, didn’t know how to respond. The answer was simple if she just followed her heart. She liked Ganan, but it wasn’t the same kind of affection she had for the other gender. To begin with, she thought of him as being of the same gender as her. There was no way she could fall in love with someone of the same gender. But could she truly say that to the injured boy lying in front of her? Her true feelings would almost certainly cause him to grieve, causing him emotional agony and aggravating his condition. Or should she lie to him? Trying to avoid the subject and pretend that Ganan had never confessed? No. Merc couldn’t do that. She was unable to stomp on the boy’s genuine feelings. Who in their right mind would do anything so blatantly false? Merc couldn’t do it no matter what. “... Haha... What’s up with that face?” “Huh?” “I’m joking. Joking. Stupid.” “... Y-You!” Ganan managed to elicit a scream encompassing Merc’s true feelings with only a single sentence. She couldn’t forgive Ganan for trampling on his confession and pretending it never occurred.

Naturally the apostles also matched that intention and commenced their assault. Right after that, a shadow covered the audience hall. That was the large body of Tio who turned into a dragon. Perhaps she used metamorphosis magic, her size was now larger by a level compared to usual. Her coloring also felt like it became blacker. No matter how spacious the audience hall was, turning into a dragon inside limited space like this would only make her into a nice target. Tio herself should have also understood that, nevertheless. she still turned into a dragon, It was for the sake of becoming Hajime’s shield using her body. She took a position between Hajime and Aruv’s group and turned into a castle wall using her dragon scales. “Impertinent.” “Hmph, I’ll take payback for before.” Aruv and Freed mercilessly launched attack magic. The apostles at the surrounding were also attempting to kill Tio using their disintegration ability without a drop of mercy. By invoking sublimation magic, metamorphosis magic, and ‘Pain Conversion’ to the greatest effect, she heightened her ability of dragon scale reinforcement to the extreme, and for the last, she deployed many layers of wind barrier in an attempt to disperse the enemy’s force but...her opponents were just too dangerous. Tio’s beautiful black scales were shaved away in the blink of eye. “Tio-. Don’t be reckless!” Tio’s prided dragon scales became fragments and scattered everywhere along with a shockwave sound, looking at her state where her body was even possibly gouged out, Hajime couldn’t endure and yelled. While counterattacking using her breath attack, tail, and countless wind blades launched at the surrounding, Tio turned her long neck, her golden eyes that were split vertically carried blazing resolve in them, with that she faced Hajime. {If not now, then when will it be the time to get reckless! Quickly go-} {That light is not normal! Quickly save Yue-. ...Rest assured. Until Goshujin-sama embraces me, I absolutely won’t die!} “...Geez, thanks okay. I’m counting on you.” Hajime didn’t turn back anymore and focused his mind on slaughtering the enemies standing in his way between him and Yue. He ignored the attack from behind by Aruv and Freed. He had said that he would leave it to the woman that he counted on. There was not the slightest bit of cause to pay it any more attention.

He's invented more than 200 games to teach virtually any subject under the sun. In the schools and communities the day always starts in a circle and always starts from a question. Imagine an education system that started from questions, not from knowledge to be imparted, or started from a game, not from a lesson, or started from the premise that you have to engage people first before you can possibly teach them. Our education systems, sport, drama, music. These things, they teach through. They attract people to learning because it's really a dance project or a circus project or, the best example of all -- El Sistema in Venezuela -- it's a music project. And so you attract people through that into learning, not adding that on after all the learning has been done and you've eaten your cognitive greens. So El Sistema in Venezuela uses a violin as a technology of learning. Taio Rocha uses making soap as a technology of learning. And what you find when you go to these schemes is that they use people and places in incredibly creative ways. Masses of peer learning. How do you get learning to people when there are no teachers, when teachers won't come, when you can't afford them, and even if you do get teachers, what they teach isn't relevant to the communities that they serve? Well, you create your own teachers. You create peer-to-peer learning, or you create para-teachers, or you bring in specialist skills. But you find ways to get learning that's relevant to people through technology, people and places that are different. So this is a school in a bus in Pune, the fastest growing city in Asia. Pune has 5,000 building sites. It has 30,000 children on those building sites. That's one city. Imagine that urban explosion that's going to take place across the developing world and how many thousands of children will spend their school years on building sites. Well, this is a very simple scheme to get the learning to them through a bus. And they all treat learning, not as some sort of academic, analytical activity, but as that's something that's productive, something you make, something that you can do, perhaps earn a living from. So I met this character, Steven. He'd spent three years in Nairobi living on the streets because his parents had died of AIDS. And he was finally brought back into school, not by the offer of GCSEs, but by the offer of learning how to become a carpenter, a practical making skill. So the trendiest schools in the world, High Tech High and others, they espouse a philosophy of learning as productive activity. Here, there isn't really an option. Learning has to be productive in order for it to make sense.</s>

Some believe that means that the original interpretation from a couple thousand years ago is what's relevant today. I don't belong there. Then there's a group that believes the Koran is a living, breathing document, and I captured that idea within these stones that self-update. Now the main bad guy, Rughal, does not want these stones to update, so he's trying to get them to stop updating. He can't use the stones, but he can stop them. And by stopping them, he has more of a fascist agenda, where he gets some of The 99 to work for him -- they're all wearing cookie-cutter, same color uniforms They're not allowed to individually express who they are and what they are. And he controls them from the top down -- whereas when they work for the other side, eventually, when they find out this is the wrong person, they've been manipulated, they actually, each one has a different, colorful kind of dress. And the last point about the 99 Noor stones is this. So The 99 work in teams of three. Why three? A couple of reasons. Number one, we have a thing within Islam that you don't leave a boy and a girl alone together, because the third person is temptation or the devil, right? I think that's there in all cultures, right? But this is not about religion, it's not about proselytizing. There's this very strong social message that needs to get to kind of the deepest crevices of intolerance, and the only way to get there is to kind of play the game. And so this is the way I dealt with it. They work in teams of three: two boys and a girl, two girls and a boy, three boys, three girls, no problem. And the Swiss psychoanalyst, Carl Jung, also spoke about the importance of the number three in all cultures, so I figure I'm covered. Well ... I got accused in a few blogs that I was actually sent by the Pope to preach the Trinity and Catholicism in the Middle East, so you -- you believe who you want. I gave you my version of the story. So here's some of the characters that we have. Mujiba, from Malaysia: her main power is she's able to answer any question. She's the Trivial Pursuit queen, if you want, but when she first gets her power, she starts going on game shows and making money. We have Jabbar from Saudi who starts breaking things when he has the power. Now, Mumita was a fun one to name. Mumita is the destroyer. So the 99 attributes of Allah have the yin and the yang; there's the powerful, the hegemonous, the strong, and there's also the kind, the generous. I'm like, are all the girls going to be kind and merciful and the guys all strong? I'm like, you know what, I've met a few girls who were destroyers in my lifetime, so ... We have Jami from Hungary, who first starts making weapons: He's the technology wiz. Musawwira from Ghana, Hadya from Pakistan, Jaleel from Iran who uses fire.</s>

The Flying Dragon Pavilion of Snow had prices that ranged from lower-class aristocrats to commoners, but the service was outstanding given the cost, making it a hit across all of Kruika. In fact, it was a wonder how they managed to secure such a prominent accommodation. The inn’s name, which represented a lovely white flying dragon that looked like snow, was inspired by a sighting the owner had when traveling as an adventurer in the past. Since Uriko and Majik will be residing in the institute’s dormitory from today, they will be joined by the escorting knights at their earliest convenience. “Excuse me.” “Welcome. Are you alone?” “No, my companions are supposed to be here...” Pumpkin stepped inside and scanned the first level of the inn, which also served as a dining area, for the knights while a woman working there talked to him. It seemed that the innkeeper in such a vast city had no adverse reaction to Pumpkin’s appearance at all. “Over here, Pumpkin-san.” “Oh, there you are.” Pumpkin made his way to the knights while bowing politely to the staff woman once the other party noticed him. Apparently, they were having a drink to celebrate the completion of their duties. “You guys... are on duty until you return safely and have reported back, you know...” “Hahaha. Isn’t it fine? It’s been a long time since I have been in a place where I can drink freely.” “Seriously you guys...” For a moment, Pumpkin expressed his exhortation, but considering their position, he decided it would be best for them to feel free to indulge. Indeed, it was reasonable to argue that they were essentially secure inside Kruika unless there were something nefarious involved, and in view of the inconvenience he caused them along the journey, he will let them off the hook for today at least. “Just don’t get too drunk and disturb the other customers.” “I know.” “We’ll be careful.” “Thank youー!” “Then I’ll go to my room and sleep.” The least Pumpkin would do was to give them a warning. They were knights with a proper appearance. They will probably not fail to maintain a minimum level of moderation. “Oh, here’s the key to your room, Pumpkin-san.” “Okay.” “I’ll lead you to your room.” “Thanks.” With that, Pumpkin went to his room, ruminating in his head about the geography of Kruika, which he had grasped on foot today, for tomorrow and beyond, and lay down on his bed and drifted off to sleep.</s>

But it looks like Leo would like to do it.” “...Oh. The magic of a Silver Fenrir, eh? Well, please do.” “So we can see Leo do magic. It is not every day that one gets to see a Silver Fenrir use magic. I must see this.” Sebastian moved out of the way so that Leo could light the branches on fire. Ms. Claire was also very interested. It seemed that she had always wanted to witness a Silver Fenrir’s magic. “Wuuu... Gau!” Leo faced the pile of branches and howled once. At the same time, a flame burst from Leo’s mouth and burned the branches. Now that I think about it, the last time we were in this forest, Leo had done the same thing in order to cook the orc meat. So much had happened since then, that I had forgotten about it. “This is the magic of a Silver Fenrir... I knew that they could breathe fire from their mouths, but I didn’t imagine it to be quite like this.” “...I think maybe it’s because it would be more difficult to use your paws?” Ms. Claire seemed to be surprised that Leo used her mouth for magic. But I could tell that she was also excited, as she was smiling. As for Sebastian and Lyra, they had expressions that were more admiration than surprise. The guards, on the other hand, had not spent much time with Leo, and so they were staring at the fire as if stunned. Even if they knew that Silver Fenrirs could use magic, they had never seen it happen before. Of course not... They had said that they had never even seen a Silver Fenrir before Leo. “Well, let us cook then. Please wait a little longer, Leo.” “Wou!” Ms. Lyra was carrying a bag that likely contained pots and food as she addressed Leo. And so Leo returned to where I was waiting, so that she would not get in the way. ...She looked a little proud about being the one to start the fire. “You did well, Leo.” “...She is so fluffy.” As Leo looked like she wanted to be praised, I had her lower her head so that I could pet her. But as I did, another hand stretched out and petted Leo as well. “...Ms. Claire?” “...I wanted to pet Leo too...” “Hahaha. You should pet her some more then.” “Yes!” Apparently, Ms. Claire had been wanting to pet Leo for quite some time now. And while her hands still moved hesitantly, she soon got used to how soft Leo’s fur was, and began to pet her more firmly. Leo must have enjoyed being pet, as she soon pressed her head towards Ms. Claire’s hand encouragingly. And Ms. Claire, having fulfilled her wish of petting Leo, was all smiles.</s>

And hmm... An inn with Spring in the name, could it be the Spring Snow Inn?」「Oh, that one, yes. That’s what its name was.」 As soon as she heard him utter those words, the name of the inn was salvaged from the depths of her vague memories and she nodded in approval. 「Then I know where it is, it’s just a little further from here. I’ll accompany you there.」 Evin smiled again and walked to Mira’s empty side, taking hold of her hand and started walking forward. Mira was late to react to her hand being grabbed so suddenly, but his amiable aura soon dispelled her hesitation and she kept hold of the young man’s hand. And like that, he guided them to the Spring Snow Inn without letting go of her hand. 「Ah, Mira is here. Over he... re?」 Emera was standing at the entrance of the inn, eagerly waiting for the two to arrive. She first saw the two emerge from the crowd on the street and began waving her arms and calling them, but then she saw the figure of a guard leading them by the hand. No matter how she looked at them, they looked like lost children. 「Pfft! Mira has been brought back home!」「That’s not ittt!」 Emera shouted inside the inn with a loud voice, then Mira shouted with all her might to deny it. But that caused everyone’s attention to shift towards her, so she hung her head in shame and hid in Evin’s shadow while pulling Takuto with her. 「Well, late at night is still late at night, so you shouldn’t be out playing until this hour.」 After guiding them to their destination, Evin gave those parting words to the two, bowed to Emera and the others, then turned around and left. When Mira looked inside the inn, she was assaulted by the gazes of Emera and Zef, shining with suspicion. She tried to make an excuse, but it had zero effect convincing them. 「Sure sure, I understand.」「It’s only been half a day, but you’re part of us now, we understand, seriously.」 Zef and Emera kept giving quick nods as they spoke. They had met not too long ago, but Mira’s face lightened up hearing that they understood. In the end, she never noticed that they seemed to be concealing something. As Emera said that, she took Mira’s hand and pulled her inside the Spring Snow inn. The interior of the inn was made of wood, the first floor serving as the dining room and reception. There were many wooden tables and chairs of simple but sturdy construction arranged inside the room. Chairs were occupied by guests who were just eating and enjoying the last hour of the night. 「Ohh, the lady and the kid, we’ve been waiting for you.」 From a table that was slightly bigger than the others and placed in a corner of the room, Asbar raised his voice and waved to them. 「Mira, over here.」</s>

First, Shimizu certainly kept a certain cheat-like spec as a secret, but that was the same thing for the other classmates. Furthermore, Kouki was the “hero,” not him and maybe because of that the women only kept coming near Kouki, and it became the saying that “he was just one of the many additional people.” With this, nothing changed from the time he was in Japan. Though his wish was fulfilled, the reality that didn’t become just like he hoped for made Shimizu increase his deviousness, and his dissatisfaction was increasing in his mind. Just why am I not the hero? Just why do the women only surround and desire Kouki? Just why is it not I, but Kouki who always gets treated as special? Even though I can do better if I am the hero. Then, the girls will accept me if I approach them... this, this satisfying condition is everyone’s fault, I am the only special one, that’s the egoistic idea which gnawed on Shimizu’s mind. At that time. The combat practice held in the « Orcus Great Dungeon ». Shimizu thought of it as his chance. I won’t mind about anyone else. It was the same even if they are here or not. Those classmates that treated me as background will surely notice my skill, Shimizu tried to use this opportunity... however, there was something he noticed. He wasn’t a special existence at all, there was no opportunity-like development, and he certainly would become a “dead” person in the next moment. As he was about to be killed by the Traum Soldier, he saw the “hero” who fought with a more brutal monster in the distance, and his fantasy about a different world crumbled as it made a rattling sound. Then he witnessed the classmate who fell to “death” into the abyss, and his heart was broken. He only interpreted things on his own convenience and his mind always kept seeing others inferior than him, so naturally his heart was not strong. When he returned to the royal palace, Shimizu once again shut himself in his own room. However, the literacies that could cheer him up just like in his room in Japan were not here. That’s why Shimizu naturally spent his time reading books around the skills and magic concerning his class, “Dark Magic-user.” Dark magic system was a magic system which acted on the others’ minds and senses, it was recognized as magic that basically give bad statuses to the target in battle. Shimizu’s aptitude were such as altering the others’ recognition, showing illusions, interfering with the image of the completed magic to disrupt the invocation, and with further mastering, he could make disorder in one’s body control.</s>

On the dark side, politics doesn't seem to escape people like me. Every Iranian artist, in one form or another, is political. Politics have defined our lives. If you're living in Iran, you're facing censorship, harassment, arrest, torture -- at times, execution. If you're living outside like me, you're faced with life in exile -- the pain of the longing and the separation from your loved ones and your family. Therefore, we don't find the moral, emotional, psychological and political space to distance ourselves from the reality of social responsibility. Oddly enough, an artist such as myself finds herself also in the position of being the voice, the speaker of my people, even if I have, indeed, no access to my own country. Also, people like myself, we're fighting two battles on different grounds. We're being critical of the West, the perception of the West about our identity -- about the image that is constructed about us, about our women, about our politics, about our religion. We are there to take pride and insist on respect. And at the same time, we're fighting another battle. That is our regime, our government -- our atrocious government, [that] has done every crime in order to stay in power. Our artists are at risk. We are in a position of danger. We pose a threat to the order of the government. But ironically, this situation has empowered all of us, because we are considered, as artists, central to the cultural, political, social discourse in Iran. We are there to inspire, to provoke, to mobilize, to bring hope to our people. We are the reporters of our people, and are communicators to the outside world. Art is our weapon. Culture is a form of resistance. I envy sometimes the artists of the West for their freedom of expression. For the fact that they can distance themselves from the question of politics. mainly the Western culture. But also, I worry about the West, because often in this country, in this Western world that we have, culture risks being a form of entertainment. Our people depend on our artists, and culture is beyond communication. My journey as an artist started from a very, very personal place. I did not start to make social commentary about my country. The first one that you see in front of you is actually when I first returned to Iran after being separated for a good 12 years. It was after the Islamic Revolution While I was absent from Iran, the Islamic Revolution had descended on Iran and had entirely transformed the country from Persian to the Islamic culture. I came mainly to be reunited with my family and to reconnect in a way that I found my place in the society.</s>

Make them surrender. If you are able to do it, I don’t mind saving them. If you aren’t, I’ll slaughter every single one of you. I will even let you choose between dismembering or hellish suffering」 The geryon king stood up, turned towards its comrades and roared. After that, the geryons in the sky and the geryons in the forest gathered before my and lowered their heads in submission. Once I confirmed it, I healed the twitching ones. Once healed, they stopped twitching and turned submissive. Let’s leave them at that. 「You’ve lost to me, therefore, you are now under me. My orders are absolute. Disobedience means death」「.....Understood」 Answered the geryon king as the representative. 「I shall protect those who are under me. You can get the explanation from the harpies. But first, can you tell me why did you attack the town? 」「To secure provision. The tasty smell of the fish reaches us every day. There is no way to endure it. The group that I dispatched to gather food was easily repelled. After that, I launched a full-scale attack in the name of the king only to end up like this」「I see, you do look like cats. Do you like fish this much? If you are willing to serve me, I don’t mind splitting some fish with you. How about it? 」「Since we have surrendered, we shall follow Master’s orders」「Understood. Marcel! Please divide some esaraharu. Give them some of the processed ones too」 A great number of esaraharu was given to the geryons. They devoured the fish as if it was the center of their worlds. After that, we returned to the mansion where I had the harpies meet the geryons and explain them the meaning of being my subordinates. After a while, 200 geryons lined up in front of the mansion. For some reason, the showed me their bellies and assumed a submissive pose. It must be very surreal to witness 200 champions of the forest showing their bellies. I wonder, what exactly did the harpies explain to them? At that day, the title of the「Ruler of the Forest」was passed to the human from the beasts.</s>

Even though Timu did all that to him, he’s still imploring her. The way he’s treating Timu is completely different to the way he’s treating me. Not even a little hostility is in his eyes. Just pure respect. Orty might be criminal scum, but it looks like his feelings for Timu are the real thing, at least. And certainly, had it not been for this massive demon invasion disaster, even Orty might not have done something so serious. Maybe he lost his reason because of the panic. Perhaps I can take the circumstances into consideration just a little. In my old life, I was an otaku too. That’s why I know full well how much it hurts for your beloved idol to hate and curse you. To Orty, there’s nothing more painful than having Timu hate and attack him. Even now, Timu was still cursing him mercilessly. Although I stopped her from violence, her verbal attacks were continuing. It looks like they didn’t know how to stop criticizing him. Orty was desperately explaining himself. He was bleeding from his wounds, and although he seemed to be enduring the pain, he kept begging Timu for forgiveness. It’s pitiful. Just too pitiful. Huu, can’t be helped. I guess I’ll give him one last chance. If he still doesn’t repent, then I’ll give him to the guards without mercy. But first I’ll make sure that he doesn’t hold any grudges against Timu. It would be too terrible if his intense love turned into intense hatred. “Orty!” “W-, What?” “Timu― Camilla. Do you hate her now?” “Hahh, hahh, hahh. S-, Stupidity! Lady Camilla is more important to me than my life! I would not even consider it!” “Even though she did all this to you?” “Of course! Hahh, hahh, no matter what she may do to me... My loyalty... will never waver!” Orty screamed resolutely. The way I see it, he wasn’t lying. As long as they aren’t going to harm Timu, then she might need the fans. From now on, she’s going to be living in the Capital, so the more allies, the better. She’s already got the position of ‘Magic Academy Student from the countryside’. I bet lots of people would be jealous. Orty might be a hopeless guy, but at least he really seems to treasure Timu. “Elder sister, may we begin? Considering the rude way he is addressing you, I am about to go mad.” “L-, Lady Camilla...” “Aahh, that’s enough, Timu.” “Elder sister, whatever do you mean?” “I’m not going to punish Orty any further. If any of you know healing magic, please heal him.”</s>

It’s for our own good.” I answered Gekke’s question. There’s actually another reason besides that, but this reason is easier to accept and is more convincing. That’s why I choose to give this reason as an answer, but it seems like Mazell is still not convinced since he said, “I wonder if it really is for our own good.” “It’s fine if all we need to do is to retake the fortress, but what if after the devil occupies the fortress they try to attack the capital?” After I said that, Mazell seemed to be finally convinced. “So you’re saying that the devil might attack the capital?” “I’m certain that will happen. After all, from their perspective, isn’t it easier to attack us rather than sit and wait for us to come to retake the fortress? Though I don’t know if the devil will immediately attack after occupying the fortress.” It’s a lie. In the game, the devil didn’t attack the capital after occupying the fortress and I doubt he will do it in reality (I hope). The real reason why I need to convince the expedition team not to return immediately is to buy time. The event of the retaking of Veritza Fortress in the game is what makes Mazell become acknowledged as a hero, so I need Mazell to be the one that retakes the fortress. The ‘problem’ is (though I don’t know if I can call it a problem) because the kingdom’s casualty from the recent demon outbreak is much lower than in the game, I can’t predict if the kingdom will choose to immediately dispatch the knights to retake the fortress after it falls or not. My hope is that the knights can stay put until Mazell is strong enough. That’s why I have to do this to buy time, otherwise, the hero’s acknowledgment event might even fail. That’s a villain’s way of thinking, though. “That’s why even if the fortress falls, I want you not to return immediately. It’s fine even if you return late as long as you return before the big battle. Return with as much equipment as you can.” “Understood.” Avant nodded, and beside him, Gekke gave a silent acknowledgement. I’m glad. “For Mazell and Luguentz, I want both of you to continue your training. In the case the fortress falls, I need both of you to participate in the battle for its retakes.” “Got it. When that time comes, let me go on a rampage.” “I more or less understand, but if the fortress really falls, what’s going to happen to the people inside?” To think that Mazell will ask that... Right. This is a question befitting of the main character. “It’s impossible to completely prevent victims, but I’ve already given several suggestions to His Highness. Now we can only pray that His Highness accepts my suggestions.” I’ve really done that. Although I also want to minimize victims as much as possible, my authority is limited after all. I will also make some preparations. Despite the fact I know what will happen in the future, I stayed silent about it. Because of that decision, many people might come to resent me in the future. Though, even if I told people about my knowledge, I don’t know if they are going to believe me. Even if they did, it’s somewhat scary. Worse case, nobles that are hostile to my father might accuse me as the devil’s accomplice for knowing so many things.</s>

So I put low-density liquid metal at the top, put a high-density liquid metal at the bottom, and molten salt in between. So now, how to choose the metals? For me, the design exercise always begins here with the periodic table, Dimitri Mendeleyev. Everything we know is made of some combination of what you see depicted here. And that includes our own bodies. I recall the very moment one day when I was searching for a pair of metals that would meet the constraints of earth abundance, different, opposite density I felt the thrill of realization when I knew I'd come upon the answer. Magnesium for the top layer. for the bottom layer. You know, I've got to tell you, one of the greatest benefits of being a professor: colored chalk. So to produce current, magnesium loses two electrons to become magnesium ion, which then migrates across the electrolyte, accepts two electrons from the antimony, and then mixes with it to form an alloy. The electrons go to work in the real world out here, powering our devices. Now to charge the battery, we connect a source of electricity. It could be something like a wind farm. And then we reverse the current. And this forces magnesium to de-alloy and return to the upper electrode, restoring the initial constitution of the battery. And the current passing between the electrodes generates enough heat to keep it at temperature. It's pretty cool, at least in theory. But does it really work? So what to do next? We go to the laboratory. Now do I hire seasoned professionals? No, I hire a student and mentor him, teach him how to think about the problem, to see it from my perspective and then turn him loose. This is that student, David Bradwell, who, in this image, appears to be wondering if this thing will ever work. What I didn't tell David at the time was I myself wasn't convinced it would work. But David's young and he's smart and he wants a Ph.D., and he proceeds to build -- He proceeds to build the first ever liquid metal battery of this chemistry. And based on David's initial promising results, which were paid with seed funds at MIT, I was able to attract major research funding from the private sector and the federal government. And that allowed me to expand my group to 20 people, a mix of graduate students, post-docs and even some undergraduates.</s>

Flaming bullets, ice pebbles, and stone spears appeared all at once, surrounding Inglis. 「!?」 Evade! However—— There was a sensation of a firm grip on her shoulders. Something was sticking onto her. 「Nn......?」 It was the opponent who had hidden himself. He had decided that there was no necessity to stay invisible, so he returned to become visible. Inglis had grabbed his wrists to stop his ice blades, but he instead stuck even closer into her to stop her movements altogether. And then, several projectiles of multiple attributes surrounded both of them. The amount was as if there were many people using sorcery all at once. Will he still unleash it!? 「In the end, just a woman...... eat this!」 The flames, ice, and stones that were suspended launched in unison. Even if Inglis tried to avoid them, the man gripped her tight. Her movements were sealed. Even when she tried to shake him off, he wouldn’t budge. 「...... Holding a woman without her consent, I can’t say I’m impressed.」 Inglis freed herself of the high gravitational pull she put on herself. With the weight that burdened her entire body gone, her body became lighter all at once. This ability was very convenient for self-training. Ever since Inglis learned it, she had always put a high gravity load on herself all around the clock except for particular times it would hinder her. Just being able to learn this ability made Inglis able to say that enrolling at the Knight Academy was worth every penny. After Inglis shook off the man with brute-force, she leaped overhead. There were no projectiles deployed above them. While bouncing up the wall of the abandoned house and climbing to the roof, Inglis observed the scene below unfolding. The man who had been shaken off by Inglis was being charged by countless projectiles of his own creation. Flame bullets, ice pebbles, stone spears. All of them shot at him at once. ——But, just before they landed, they disappeared as though they were sucked into something. As a result, he appeared to suffer no damage at all. 「The attacks he unleashed, he absorbs it himself......?」 So, he was keeping Inglis in place and attacked himself precisely because he could do something like this. If he suffered no damage from it, then it was an effective tactic. It was close to Inglis and Rafinha’s 『Blast it all, decoy and all!』 strategy, where Inglis would plunge into the swarm of Magic Stone Beasts and Rafinha would attack everything in its vicinity with the shower of light. 「Kukukuku......」 The man also jumped to the roof, chasing after Inglis. The two ice swords appeared again in his hand. Will he turn transparent and slash at me again? This time around, the fire, ice, and stone projectiles would surely be added into the mix. Evading everything with a bare hand would be tricky, would it not?</s>

Since my visual acuity was preserved and passed directly onto Uncle Will with my eye, I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. ....Though I don’t know about the world being beautiful. Everything I see seems stained by corruption. I mean, we’re talking about the eyes of a villainess here...? I can’t possibly perceive the world as some pretty, perfect place. Now that I know all this though, I’m sure that Uncle Will had already predicted what would happen if he sent Nate here today. He probably already knew that we’d fight, and that I’d win. Even if it hadn’t been in this controlled environment, had an assailant come at me with the serious intention to kill, Uncle Will could very easily imagine the outcome with his current understanding of me. But, there’s just one thing I don’t quite understand. How did he know that I was skilled with a sword? “Your magic is amazing, your swordsmanship unbelievable.... you’re simply the strongest. There’s no other word to describe it,” Rebecca says in awe while looking at me with sparkling eyes. Hm, somehow, it feels a little like I’m being worshiped here. “But I’m not the strongest. There’s someone out there who’s even stronger than me,” I tell Rebecca levelly. Liz-san is the actual strongest. There’s no one who can match up to her. Not even Duke-Sama’s magic power can compare. Rebecca’s eyes widen at my words. Her lips part slightly as she stares at me, as if there’s something she wants to say. .....If you want to complain about the logic of this world, take it up with the game’s administrators. Alicia was the one and only thing that I actually liked about this game. “Her only redeeming quality is that her head’s full of flowers and she’s overflowing with more magical power than she knows what to do with. When it comes to swordsmanship or intelligence, you’re clearly better, Alicia.” “I don’t know.... I think Liz-san might actually be smarter than I am.” “She may be knowledgeable to some extent, but I can’t say she’s got any manner of intelligence. When it comes to application, understanding, or wisdom, she’s completely hopeless,” Gilles says, spitting out the words like a curse, like it’s the foulest insult that he can think of. .....Okay. Let’s say she lacks intelligence. But that doesn’t change the fact that she’s extremely popular. She’s bound to be loved wherever she goes. And that, in itself, is its own form of strength. If she were to come to this village, I think everyone would probably love her here as well. Her heart’s too soft for her own good! If she really were to come here she wouldn’t be of any use....! Yes. Let’s just think like this. “Here. I’m returning this,” I say, handing Rebecca her sword. .....Oh, that’s right. I can us magic again. I lightly snap my fingers. The moment I do, the usual black aurora-like mist envelops the sword. Of course, it’s not just Rebecca’s sword, but all the swords in the vicinity. Thank goodness the spell worked properly. In the depths of my heart, I let out a sigh of relief.</s>

But what happened is that the entire underside was full of these billions of amphipods and copepods moving around and feeding on the underside of the ice, giving birth and living out their entire life cycle. This is the foundation of the whole food chain in the Arctic, right here. And when you have low productivity in this, in ice, the productivity in copepods go down. This is a bowhead whale. Supposedly, science is stating that it could be the oldest living animal on earth right now. This very whale right here could be over 250 years old. This whale could have been born around the start of the Industrial Revolution. It could have survived 150 years of whaling. And now its biggest threat is the disappearance of ice in the North because of the lives that we're leading in the South. Narwhals, these majestic narwhals with their eight-foot long ivory tusks, don't have to be here; they could be out on the open water. But they're forcing themselves to come up in these tiny little ice holes where they can breathe, catch a breath, because right under that ice are all the swarms of cod. And the cod are there because they are feeding on all the copepods and amphipods. Alright, my favorite part. When I'm on my deathbed, I'm going to remember one story more than any other. Even though that spirit bear moment was powerful, I don't think I'll ever have another experience like I did with these leopard seals. Leopard seals, since the time of Shackleton, have had a bad reputation. They've got that wryly smile on their mouth. They've got those black sinister eyes and those spots on their body. They look positively prehistoric and a bit scary. And tragically in [2003], a scientist was taken down and drowned, and she was being consumed by a leopard seal. And people were like, "We knew they were vicious. We knew they were." And so people love to form their opinions. And that's when I got a story idea: I want to go to Antarctica, get in the water with as many leopard seals as I possibly can and give them a fair shake -- find out if they really are these vicious animals, or if they're misunderstood.</s>

It seemed that I was born as Leafa in a peaceful place of a peaceful era, one that left me with nothing to do. I felt so bored that I wanted to read something, but I could only lie on my back, so reading a book was difficult. It would be nice if someone could put something on the ceiling to pass the time, I thought as I gazed up. Perhaps because of that, one day, Rudra began putting up hanging toys on the ceiling. They were made by combining threads and twig-like materials, with colorful stuffed animals hanging from them. The indoor air made them sway and change their movements in unpredictable ways. It might be fun to try to express this complex motion with equations. I had a feeling it could be a good way to pass the time. “...How is it? Are you having fun?” As I gazed, trying to figure out the equations, Rudra leaned over, apparently thinking that I was interested. Instead of answering his question, I decided to make eye contact and smile. “Look, Natal! Leafa smiled!” It seemed like I managed to smile well, Rudra’s eyes widened and he exclaimed loudly. “That’s amazing, Leafa. I wonder if you’ll smile for Mom too?” Natal quickly rushed over and smiled at me. I worked the muscles in my face to mimic that expression, attempting to create a smile. “Oh my... Leafa!” My mother, with a mix of surprise and joy, lifted me from the bed and hugged me. I had been contemplating equations based on the movements of the ceiling toys, but it seemed like it would be better to postpone that for now with this scene. I abandoned my thoughts and surrendered my body to my mother’s arms, and soon, drowsiness overcame me. When I woke up it was already midnight. It was so dark that I couldn’t see anything, but I could hear the sound of the two of them breathing from somewhere. My diaper was uncomfortable, but I decided it would be a nuisance to wake them up in the middle of the night, so I endured it silently. However, something like a cold and itchy sensation began to spread along my buttocks. It was getting painful to stay still, so I squirmed a little, and my mother noticed and quickly changed me to a fresh diaper. “...Sorry, for not noticing it.” I tried to be considerate, but both of my parents got up and took care of me. Rudra prepared warm milk and brought it to me, so I took a few sips. I did want to drink a bit more, but it was getting late, so it seemed best to finish up soon. After taking three small sips and sticking my tongue out to indicate that I didn’t want more, my father leaned closer and spoke. “It seems like you have a small appetite, Leafa. How about a little more?”</s>

Fireflies belong to a very beautiful and diverse group of insects, the beetles. Worldwide, there are more than 2,000 firefly species, and these have evolved remarkably diverse courtship signals, that is, different ways to find and attract mates. Around 150 million years ago, the very first fireflies probably looked like this. They flew during the daytime and they didn't light up. Instead, males used their fantastic antennae to sniff out perfumes given off by their females. In other fireflies, it's only the females who light up. They are attractively plump and wingless, so every night, they climb up onto perches and they glow brightly for hours to attract their flying but unlit males. In still other fireflies, both sexes use quick, bright flashes to find their mates. Here in North America, we have more than 100 different kinds of firefly that have the remarkable ability to shine energy out from their bodies in the form of light. How do they do that? It seems totally magical, but these bioluminescent signals arise from carefully orchestrated chemical reactions that happen inside the firefly lantern. The main star is an enzyme called luciferase, which in the course of evolution has figured out a way to wrap its tiny arms around an even smaller molecule called luciferin, in the process getting it so excited that it actually gives off light. Incredible. But how could these bright lights have benefited some proto-firefly? To answer this question, we need to flip back in the family album to some baby pictures. Fireflies completely reinvent their bodies as they grow. They spend the vast majority of their lifetime, up to two years, in this larval form. Their main goal here, like my teenagers, is to eat and grow. And firefly light first originated in these juveniles. Every single firefly larva can light up, even when their adults can't. But what's the point to being so conspicuous? Well, we know that these juveniles make nasty-tasting chemicals that help them survive their extended childhood, so we think these lights first evolved as a warning, a neon sign that says, "Toxic! Stay away!" to any would-be predators. It took many millions of years before these bright lights evolved into a smart communication tool that could be used not just to ward off potential predators but to bring in potential mates.</s>

So my second dream is that I think we can look to the next 30 years as a time to change the food system again. And we know what's happened in the past, so if we start now, and we look at technologies and improvements to the food system long term, we might be able to recreate the food system so when I give my next talk and I'm 60 years old, I'll be able to say that it's been a success. So I'm announcing today the start of a new organization, or a new fund within the FEED Foundation, called the 30 Project. And the 30 Project is really focused on these long-term ideas for food system change. And I think by aligning international advocates that are addressing hunger and domestic advocates that are addressing obesity, we might actually look for long-term solutions that will make the food system better for everyone. We all tend to think that these systems are quite different, and people argue whether or not organic can feed the world, but if we take a 30-year view, there's more hope in collaborative ideas. So I'm hoping that by connecting really disparate organizations like the ONE campaign and Slow Food, which don't seem right now to have much in common, we can talk about holistic, long-term, systemic solutions that will improve food for everyone. Some ideas I've had is like, look, the reality is -- kids in the South Bronx need apples and carrots and so do kids in Botswana. And how are we going to get those kids those nutritious foods? Another thing that's become incredibly global is production of meat and fish. Understanding how to produce protein in a way that's healthy for the environment and healthy for people will be incredibly important to address things like climate change and how we use petrochemical fertilizers. And you know, these are really relevant topics that are long term and important for both people in Africa who are small farmers and people in America who are farmers and eaters. And I also think that thinking about processed foods in a new way, where we actually price the negative externalities like petrochemicals and like fertilizer runoff into the price of a bag of chips. Well, if that bag of chips then becomes inherently more expensive than an apple, then maybe it's time for a different sense of personal responsibility in food choice because the choices are actually choices instead of three-quarters of the products being made just from corn, soy and wheat. The 30Project.org is launched, and I've gathered a coalition of a few organizations to start. And it'll be growing over the next few months. But I really hope that you will all think of ways that you can look long term at things like the food system and make change.</s>

So there is no point in taking someone like you on! See ya!” Tsk...why was I even talking to her...! The conversation had been about the game from the perspective of a user, and so I had started to listen out of an old habit. I wasn’t even a developer here...! It wasn’t as if her opinions were any use to me! “Wait...!” I aimed with my bow, but she had already vanished. But I now understood why she had talked to me in the first place. Turning invisible was a powerful skill, and so there would obviously be limitations. She had been buying time so that she could use it again. However, I doubted that what she said was a lie. She wouldn’t be fighting this dangerously unless she really did care about her personal ranking. Yes, it was the truth. And because of that... “Black Smog! Black Smog! Black Smog!’ It spread out everywhere. Being invisible didn’t mean you were invincible. Your hitboxes were still affected. “Aggheeeghhh!! It stinks! How did you know!?” If she wanted to go up in the rankings, then taking over a fortress would be the fastest way to do that. “Bow Shower!” I knew that she was inside of the smog, but I didn’t know her precise location. As she was likely putting most of her points into speed, I hoped that it would be a fatal blow... “Well, I wonder what will happen...” By the time the smog had cleared, she was nowhere in sight. But there was no player memory on the ground...which meant that she had escaped. Well, while I had made mistakes, like talking to her in the first place, I had wanted her to survive...I suppose. After all, there was something important that I wanted her to do. Which was to hunt down the rest of the Blue Deers. She wasn’t the biggest threat when protecting this fortress. It was the Blue Deer players who would call for help from the other fortresses. When AI players died, they turned into memories once again. And if that memory was collected by their team, the original player would regain control. In other words, there was a big possibility that they would come in full force in order to retrieve Buckler. However, this system wasn’t absolute. It would be harsh to have players who were killed near the beginning wait three hours as they thought about returning. And if the original player was absent, then they would become AI warriors. However, Buckler was a famous player from a great guild.</s>

And if I could defeat them then that was good. If not, I will either unleash a followup attack or run away. So, it was time to put it into action!

And it wasn’t a player that was just passing by! The Slime Man was waving back! Did they have a different party waiting? So they were that big of a guild... And I was a target that they really wanted to defeat. When I thought about it, making money through games had become normal in this great VR age. And now, a famous player who was walking around solo. Defeating such a player was a sure way to attract attention. Was I now too confident in my own ability...? Did I think that I could defeat any player...? “Ah, I knew it! You’re Mr. Kyuji, right?” “Huh? Ah, yes.” “Wow! So I finally met you!” The female player was clearly waving at me now. Not only that, but she was wearing something strange. It was like a black nun outfit with armor on top. Was she a nun or a knight... In any case, it wasn’t the same green that the Mad Slimes all wore. So, who was she...? “Um, are you friends with that green man over there?” “No, I don’t know him. Who is he waving to then?” I glanced over to the Slime Man. Ah, his face was bright red. Yeah, it must be pretty embarrassing... I had done it a few times in real life when out in the town. “Surely you should remember the faces of all of our guild members! Why did you wave at her, leader!” “I just thought it was a fan... But since we’re filming now, I waved for her to wait...” “Clearly someone like Mr. Kyuji would have more fans, leader!” “I won’t forgive you...! Embarrassing me like this! And for having friends that we didn’t know about...!” Besides, I didn’t know this person either!? “Um, this place will become a battlefield, so you should...” “I know.

I love that number. There are truths about two. If you've got two of something, you add two more, you get four. That's true no matter what thing you're talking about. It's an objective truth about the form of two, the abstract form. When you have two of anything -- two eyes, two ears, two noses, just two protrusions -- those all partake of the form of two. They all participate in the truths that two has. They all have two-ness in them. And therefore, it's not a matter of opinion. What if, Plato thought, ethics was like math? What if there were a pure form of justice? What if there are truths about justice, and you could just look around in this world and see which things participated, partook of that form of justice? Then you would know what was really just and what wasn't. It wouldn't be a matter of just opinion or just appearances. That's a stunning vision. I mean, think about that. How grand. How ambitious. That's as ambitious as we are. He wants to solve ethics. He wants objective truths. If you think that way, you have a Platonist moral framework. If you don't think that way, well, you have a lot of company in the history of Western philosophy, because the tidy idea, you know, people criticized it. Aristotle, in particular, he was not amused. He thought it was impractical. Aristotle said, "We should seek only so much precision in each subject as that subject allows." Aristotle thought ethics wasn't a lot like math. He thought ethics was a matter of making decisions in the here-and-now using our best judgment to find the right path. If you think that, Plato's not your guy. But don't give up. Maybe there's another way that we can use numbers as the basis of our moral framework. How about this: What if in any situation you could just calculate, look at the choices, measure out which one's better and know what to do? That sound familiar? That's a utilitarian moral framework. John Stuart Mill was a great advocate of this -- nice guy besides -- and only been dead 200 years. So basis of utilitarianism -- I'm sure you're familiar at least. The three people who voted for Mill before are familiar with this. But here's the way it works. What if morals, what if what makes something moral is just a matter of if it maximizes pleasure and minimizes pain? It does something intrinsic to the act. It's not like its relation to some abstract form. It's just a matter of the consequences. You just look at the consequences and see if, overall, it's for the good or for the worse. That would be simple. Then we know what to do. Let's take an example.</s>

Turn it from that into some answer in a mathematical form. And of course, math is very powerful at doing that. And then finally, turn it back to the real world. Did it answer the question? And also verify it -- crucial step. Now here's the crazy thing right now. In math education, we're spending about perhaps 80 percent of the time teaching people to do step three by hand. Yet, that's the one step computers can do Instead, we ought to be using computers to do step three and using the students to spend much more effort on learning how to do steps one, two and four -- conceptualizing problems, applying them, getting the teacher to run them through how to do that. See, crucial point here: math is not equal to calculating. Math is a much broader subject than calculating. Now it's understandable that this has all got intertwined over hundreds of years. There was only one way to do calculating and that was by hand. But in the last few decades that has totally changed. We've had the biggest transformation of any ancient subject that I could ever imagine with computers. Calculating was typically the limiting step, and now often it isn't. So I think in terms of the fact that math has been liberated from calculating. But that math liberation didn't get into education yet. See, I think of calculating, in a sense, as the machinery of math. It's the chore. It's the thing you'd like to avoid if you can, like to get a machine to do. It's a means to an end, not an end in itself, and automation allows us to have that machinery. Computers allow us to do that -- and this is not a small problem by any means. I estimated that, just today, across the world, we spent about 106 average world lifetimes teaching people how to calculate by hand. That's an amazing amount of human endeavor. and by the way, they didn't even have fun doing it, most of them -- so we better be damn sure that we know why we're doing that and it has a real purpose. I think we should be assuming computers for doing the calculating and only doing hand calculations where it really makes sense to teach people that. And I think there are some cases. For example: mental arithmetic. I still do a lot of that, mainly for estimating. People say, "Is such and such true?" And I'll say, "Hmm, not sure." I'll think about it roughly. It's still quicker to do that and more practical. So I think practicality is one case where it's worth teaching people by hand. And then there are certain conceptual things that can also benefit from hand calculating, but I think they're relatively small in number. One thing I often ask about is ancient Greek and how this relates. See, the thing we're doing right now is we're forcing people to learn mathematics. It's a major subject.</s>

First, we need to disconnect development from carbon emissions. We don't need to clear-cut all the forests to actually get more jobs and agriculture and have more economy. That's what we proved when we decreased deforestation and the economy continued to grow. Same thing could happen in the energy sector. Second, we have to move the incentives to the right place. Today, 500 billion dollars a year goes into subsidies for fossil fuels. Why don't we put a price on carbon and transfer this to the renewable energy? Third, we need to measure and make it transparent where, when and who is emitting greenhouse gases so we can have actions specifically for each one of those opportunities. Fourth, we need to leapfrog the routes of development, which means, you don't need to go to the landline telephone before you get to the mobile phones. Same way we don't need to go to fossil fuels to the one billion people who don't have access to energy before we get to the clean energy. And fifth and last, we need to share responsibility between governments, business and civil society. There is work to do for everybody, and we need to have everybody on board. So to finalize, I think the future is not like a fate that you have to just go as business as usual goes. We need to have the courage to actually change the route, invest in something new, think that we can actually change the route. I think we are doing this with deforestation in Brazil, and I hope we can do it also with climate change in the world. Thank you.</s>

Is it some kind of spectral transformation?] King Oh right, that was a name only Sabine-chan and I could understand...... , I mean Her Highness, Princess Remia.] Mitsuha , don’t say that weird name anywhere.

If His Royal Highness the Prince is captured, the other side will be able to seize the rightful heir to the throne, so there’s helping it but to save the siblings as a set. No, it’s not that there’s no meaning in <saving Her Highness Princess Remia>, but it’s only in the context of the future of the country and the happiness of the people. Originally, I couldn’t just annihilate the enemy by myself. No, I might be able to do it physically, that’s true. And if I hire all the members of Wolf Fang again, or teleport a large rock over the enemy’s main camp, I can annihilate them....... But I don’t think I need to go out there and kill people if I don’t have to. It’s not like I’m a homicidal maniac. It’s only for the moment when I have no choice but to protect myself and the people I love. [Oneesama, Remia has contacted me! ] Sabine While I was talking to the king, Sabine-chan came over. Yeah, earlier, the topic was too sensitive, so it was just a <small talk>, between me, the King, and the Prime Minister. The Crown Prince, the First Princess, and Sabine-chan were not present. However, Sabine-chan barged into the king’s office without knocking. If it was anyone other than Sabine-chan, even if it was another princess or prince, they would be reprimanded severely. ......But Sabine-chan is mostly an exception.

He did not believe me and said he was sure I must have one. I was silent. "Tell us," said Mahony pertly to the man, "how many have you yourself?" The man smiled as before and said that when he was our age he had lots of sweethearts. "Every boy," he said, "has a little sweetheart." His attitude on this point struck me as strangely liberal in a man of his age. In my heart I thought that what he said about boys and sweethearts was reasonable. But I disliked the words in his mouth and I wondered why he shivered once or twice as if he feared something or felt a sudden chill. As he proceeded I noticed that his accent was good. He began to speak to us about girls, saying what nice soft hair they had and how soft their hands were and how all girls were not so good as they seemed to be if one only knew. There was nothing he liked, he said, so much as looking at a nice young girl, at her nice white hands and her beautiful soft hair. He gave me the impression that he was repeating something which he had learned by heart or that, magnetised by some words of his own speech, his mind was slowly circling round and round in the same orbit. At times he spoke as if he were simply alluding to some fact that everybody knew, and at times he lowered his voice and spoke mysteriously as if he were telling us something secret which he did not wish others to overhear. He repeated his phrases over and over again, varying them and surrounding them with his monotonous voice. I continued to gaze towards the foot of the slope, listening to him. After a long while his monologue paused. He stood up slowly, saying that he had to leave us for a minute or so, a few minutes, and, without changing the direction of my gaze, I saw him walking slowly away from us towards the near end of the field. We remained silent when he had gone. After a silence of a few minutes I heard Mahony exclaim: "I say! Look what he's doing!" As I neither answered nor raised my eyes Mahony exclaimed again: "I say... He's a queer old josser!" "In case he asks us for our names," I said "let you be Murphy and I'll be Smith." We said nothing further to each other. I was still considering whether I would go away or not when the man came back and sat down beside us again. Hardly had he sat down when Mahony, catching sight of the cat which had escaped him, sprang up and pursued her across the field. The man and I watched the chase.</s>

At that time I got off and put a leather cloth over the baggage. We hurried our horses but the rain became more intense. It wasn’t much but a hood and mantle had to do. It’s inconvenient that rain gear like umbrellas and raincoats don’t exist here. “Is there anywhere we can take shelter in?” “Head, there’s a building!” When I looked in the direction they pointed in I could clearly see the shadow of a building behind the hill. “Alright, we can take shelter from the rain there” We moved towards the building. “This, was this originally a church?” As I approached it seems to be a ruin abandoned a long time ago. As Pick said, it seemed to have been a church. The door was locked with a simple lock but Pick opened it in no time and we were able to enter. “Oh, this somehow looks promising.” Bass-senpai joyfully said this. We got into a large room which I thought was originally the sanctuary. Several broken banks were lined up there. There was nothing enshrined on the shelf in the front, I wonder if someone stole it. Although it was leaking here and there but at least we had a roof over our heads and it’s far better than outside. We put down our baggage at a place without leaks and then took a break. Bass, Drum and Pick, those three tore off a part of the floor boards then broke some chairs and used them as firewood to light a fire. It’s blasphemous but it’s good to against the cold. Thanks to that I can warm up my body and feel a little more comfortable. “Finding this good place really saved us.” “This is probably a church destroyed at the time of that battle.” Following Knopf’s words Crescent Moon looked around and started talking happily. The rain got better but the sun was covered and it got really dark. “Let’s see, looks like this place wasn’t used in quite the long time.” “It’s kind of creepy.” My seniors are still pretty shaken by that story from a while ago. “Hey, you guys, go look if you can find some food in this room somewhere” Crescent Moon smirked while she instructed my seniors. “I don’t want to! There shouldn’t be any food in a place like this anyway.” “That’s right, how long ago do you think it was that people lived here?” Seniors, don’t resist. Of course, I definitely don’t want to go either. In the end, we boiled some water and made dinner with the things we brought. “But for such a place to appear like this.”</s>

And biodiversity is an indicator of how much water can be balanced, how many medicines can be kept here. And finally I made it into the rain machine because this forest is now creating its own rain. This nearby city of Balikpapan has a big problem with water; it's 80 percent surrounded by seawater, and we have now a lot of intrusion there. Now we looked at the clouds above this forest; we looked at the reforestation area, the semi-open area and the open area. And look at these images. I'll just run them very quickly through. In the tropics, raindrops are not formed from ice crystals, which is the case in the temperate zones, you need the trees with [unclear], chemicals that come out of the leaves of the trees that initiate the raindrops. So you create a cool place where clouds can accumulate, and you have the trees to initiate the rain. And look, there's now 11.2 percent more clouds -- already, after three years. If you look at rainfall, it was already up 20 percent at that time. Let's look at the next year, and you can see that that trend is continuing. Where at first we had a small cap of higher rainfall, that cap is now widening and getting higher. And if we look at the rainfall pattern above Samboja Lestari, it used to be the driest place, but now you see consistently see a peak of rain forming there. So you can actually change the climate. When there are trade winds of course the effect disappears, but afterwards, as soon as the wind stabilizes, you see again that the rainfall peaks come back above this area. So to say it is hopeless is not the right thing to do, because we actually can make that difference if you integrate the various technologies. And it's nice to have the science, but it still depends mostly upon the people, on your education. We have our farmer schools. But the real success of course, is our band -- because if a baby is born, we will play, so everyone's our family and you don't make trouble with your family. This is how it looks. We have this road going around the area, which brings the people electricity and water from our own area.</s>

And the troll meat might attract other monsters as well. While we were a short distance from the road, it would not be good to attract monsters to this area. “...I guess we could bury them?” “...Wuff...” Leo sighed as if she thought it was too much trouble. But I couldn’t think of anything else. And carrying it to some other place in order to dispose of it was not very realistic... And so burying it would be the simplest way. Besides, maybe they would be a good fertilizer. “Ah, but...I don’t have a shovel...” “Wuff! Wuff-wuff.” As I poked the ground with my foot, I felt that it was rather hard. I would not be able to dig through it without a shovel or any tools. As I was wondering what to do, Leo started to bark as if she had an idea. Leo moved her feet around busily and told me what she had thought of. Uhh, dig a hole with magic? I didn’t know if it was possible, but Leo nodded confidently. “In that case, I’ll leave it to you. ...Sorry to make you do everything.” “Wuff!” First she defeated the trolls, and now I was asking her to get rid of the bodies. ...If only there was something that I could do as well. But Leo barked and told me to not worry about it. And then she walked over to the corpses. “Wooo...grau!” “Woah.” Once she was close to the trolls, Leo turned the other way and then seemed to charge up her energy before barking loudly. In the next instant, a bang! And the ground in that direction fell away. “Explosion...magic?” “Wuff!” I gazed dumbly as the dust from the explosion slowly settled. Leo then returned to me with the satisfied look of someone who had done their work well. “I didn’t know you could do such a thing... Amazing, Leo.” “Wuff. Wuff.” I marveled over Leo’s magic as I petted her. She wagged her tail happily. After a moment, I went over to the hole and looked inside. “That’s quite big.” “Wuff.” I did my best! Leo seemed to say. It was big enough for several people to fit inside, with plenty of room left. That should be enough to bury the troll chunks. ...Thankfully, they were in a state that would make them easy to push inside. “Phew. That was surprisingly hard... And now I’m quite filthy too.” After some time, I sighed after throwing all of the troll pieces into the hole. As not a lot of time had passed since Leo shredded them, the pieces were still dripping with blood, which got all over my hands.</s>

I remember just being so frightened and terrified. And Gene, who's lying on the floor, says, "Man, we've got to soak towels." I said, "What?" He says, "We've got to soak towels. We're going to die from the smoke." So, we ran to the bathroom, and got towels, and put them over our faces, and the kids faces. Then he said, "Do you have gaffer's tape?" I said, "What?" He said, "Do you have gaffer's tape?" I said, "Yeah, somewhere in my Halliburton." He says, "We've got to stop the smoke." He said, "That's all we can do, we've got to stop the smoke." I mean, Gene -- thank God for Gene. So, we put the room service menus over the vents in the wall, we put blankets at the bottom of the door, we put the kids on the windowsill to try to get some air. that was being built right outside, across the street from our hotel. And there, in the building were photographers waiting for people to jump. Eleven people ended up dying in the fire. Five people jumped and died, other people were killed by the smoke. And there's this loud thumping on the door after about 45 minutes in all this, and people were shouting in Korean. And I remember, Natasha didn't want us opening the door -- sorry, I was trying not to open the door, because we'd spent so much time barricading the room. I didn't know who it was, I didn't know what they wanted, and Natasha could tell they were firemen trying to get us out. I remember a sort of a tussle at the door, trying to get the door open. In any case, 12 hours later, I mean, they put us in the lobby. Gene ended up using his coat, and his fist in the coat, to break open a liquor cabinet. People were lying on the floor. It was one of just the most horrifying nights. And then 12 hours later, we rented a car, as we had planned to, and drove back to Natasha's village. And we kept saying, "Do you realize we were dying in a hotel fire, like eight hours ago?" It's so weird how life just goes on. Natasha wanted to introduce her brother and father to all the villagers, and the day we showed up turned out to be a 60-year-old man's birthday. This guy's 60 years old.</s>

Why are you here!?” The man named Rafed shouted. I could imagine what kind of expression he had now. “Because I was here before you of course...” Just as I was about to say ‘are you an idiot?’, the coachman tried to escape but ended up being beaten with swords still in their scabbards by my allies who had surrounded the carriages. Did he really think he could escape in this kind of situation? “I guess I only need one person to get a testimony.” “Y...you bastard!” “Anyway, thank you for coming here since now I could beat you up myself.” I also had deployed people to other places so no matter where they went, the result would have still been the same. Still, I never thought that Lestlatga would actually make this kind of move. In the game, after the hero completed his mission in the Lestlatga, the country was never mentioned again but it looked like the country had a lot of hidden agendas in this world. “How did you find out?” “I don’t have any obligation to answer that.” Actually, I found it out by coincidence. If that guy didn’t tell me that people from Count Witthoft’s house, Count Bachem’s house and the Lestlatga Embassy kept meeting each other in the middle of the night, I wouldn’t know. But because Count Witthoft only messed up with the Zeavert family, not with Lily, they got away with just a warning. I wondered what would have happened if that wasn’t the case? In any case, it seemed like even the servants of the Bachem family had the habit of playing around... Really, did they think that money was water or something? The pr̲o̲s̲t̲i̲t̲u̲t̲e̲s’ information gathering abilities were amazing... Using alcohol and women, we smoothly gained information from the servants of the Bachem family. I must repay old man Bert for this information later. “What about the soldiers of my country?” “Well, they aren’t here. That’s all you need to know, right?” I knew that when you use Skywalk you would be transported to somewhere deserted so of course, I had also expected our enemies to place some soldiers beforehand. When I consulted His Highness regarding this matter, he prepared a large amount of Skywalk for me and then he had a diplomat of our country, who had been to Lestlatga before, take me there with a Skywalk. That was how I was able to get here. On that day, I had also confirmed where I would appear when I used the Skywalk to Lestlatga and also where our enemy could place their soldiers. The reason I asked Lily to buy time until the evening was so I could take care of the enemy’s soldiers first. Though while I was waiting for Lily, an unexpected situation arose so I was quite nervous.</s>

In response, the students charged at her from behind. Finia quickly guessed the situation and kicked the wagon down the road to keep them in check.

The West had corrupted me with divergent ideas, and if only my parents had never left Taiwan, this would not have happened to their only daughter. In truth, I wondered if they were right. Of course, there are gay people in Asia, just as there are gay people in every part of the world. But is the idea of living an "out" life, in the "I'm gay, this is my spouse, and we're proud of our lives together" kind of way just a Western idea? If I had grown up in Taiwan, or any place outside of the West, would I have found models of happy, thriving LGBT people? Lisa Dazols: I had similar notions. As an HIV social worker in San Francisco, I had met many gay immigrants. They told me their stories of persecution in their home countries, just for being gay, and the reasons why they escaped to the US. I saw how this had beaten them down. After 10 years of doing this kind of work, I needed better stories for myself. I knew the world was far from perfect, but surely not every gay story was tragic. JC: So as a couple, we both had a need to find stories of hope. So we set off on a mission to travel the world and look for the people we finally termed as the "Supergays." These would be the LGBT individuals who were doing something extraordinary in the world. They would be courageous, resilient, and most of all, proud of who they were. They would be the kind of person that I aspire to be. Our plan was to share their stories to the world through film. LD: There was just one problem. We had zero reporting and zero filmmaking experience. We didn't even know where to find the Supergays, so we just had to trust that we'd figure it all out along the way. So we picked 15 countries in Asia, Africa and South America, countries outside the West that varied in terms of LGBT rights. We bought a camcorder, ordered a book on how to make a documentary -- you can learn a lot these days -- and set off on an around-the-world trip. JC: One of the first countries that we traveled to was Nepal. Despite widespread poverty, a decade-long civil war, and now recently, a devastating earthquake, Nepal has made significant strides in the fight for equality. One of the key figures in the movement is Bhumika Shrestha. A beautiful, vibrant transgendered woman, Bhumika has had to overcome being expelled from school and getting incarcerated because of her gender presentation. But, in 2007, Bhumika and Nepal's LGBT rights organization successfully petitioned the Nepali Supreme Court to protect against LGBT discrimination.</s>

I regretted it from the bottom of my heart while following the main cause of this hardship―Asmina. However, I was relieved as the goal had finally been spotted. However, for some reason Asmina didn’t directly go into the tent; she went along a side road. “...? We aren’t going into the tent?” “At this time, brother isn’t here.” For some reason, Asmina replied as her breath became rougher. “The reason is he bathes at this time. He’s supposed to bathe at the hot spring below here. Since there is an ideal point, let’s go to the tent after we’ve fully enjoyed it.” “...Err, I am not interested in something like the male naked body, so it’s better if we wa....” “... iamsorry. Itsveryinteresting.” “Home wrecker! You’re planning to steal my brother from me!?” Her pupils changed into a carnivore’s with all her strength. Haa~, bothersome~, a girl in love is bothersome~ As I thought so while continuing to somehow calm her down, we finally arrived together to a place with a big square stone at .m in height and 3m in length, which is said to be an ideal (peeping) point, 7-8 meters from the man-made hot spring. ...In the end, is it hopeless not to peek? “The view from the top there is superb. ...Lady Hiyuki, please go ahead.” Asmina pondered for a moment and then conveyed the destination to me. While thinking thoroughly that there was nothing to worry about, I placed my hands on the rock and jumped, then placed my feet on the top. That moment― I feel that I stepped onto some kind of thin clothes, and instantly, a rope forming a circle caught around my ankle, perfectly strangling me. Coincidentally, with the tension of a tree that leaned down to the ground and returned back to its original position, I was hung upside down from the tree in a mere moment. In the midst of me flying, I felt that I heard Asmina’s murmuring, “As I thought, a new trap had been set,” but at the time I wasn’t thinking about that. I was confused while desperately pinning my skirt. Then, perhaps being noticed due to the sound, a boy of about 15-16 years of age, with dark brown skin and light brown hair darker than Asmina’s, appeared from within the steam with a figure that only had a towel wound around his back. His height is fairly tall, but he seems to be still growing so overall the line is thin. Although his body is quite forged, muscularly and slender without any pieces of flab. He made a bothersome face, unsuited for his wild features, and looked toward my direction. “You’ve come to peep again huh?

Why past tense?” “W-, Well, that is because after we caught her, somebody interfered, and they are running away right this moment.” “Fumu, a failure unlike you lot. And why did you catch her? Our military law states that you should have killed her on the spot.” “T-, That is, well...” “What? Speak clearly!” Mn? Mn? Mn? What have these guys been talking about all this time? They’re speaking so much chuuni that they’ve lost track of the issue here. The problem is that they were about to assault a little girl. About to commit a crime. “Niel, do you get it? These guys committed a crime, you know.” “Yes, milady. I certainly do understand. I will question Ortissio to see if he was following the rules of our Camilla Unit. If in his conduct, there was negligence or pride, that is certainly a problem.” I-, It’s no good. I left the talking to Pervert (Nielsen), but that was a mistake to begin with. If left to Pervert (Nielsen), it wouldn’t be strange even if a talk about a sexual assault turned into a plan to exterminate humanity. “Y-, You guys, stop right there. You know, what I want to say is that why did my order, ‘Exterminate the vampires!’ turn into assaulting a little girl. There’s obviously something wrong here!” “As I said, that was for the sake of your ambitions, Lady Tilea, and...” “You’re lying!” “Lady Tilea. Ortissio and the others certainly interpreted your orders broadly, but I can see that their actions were for the sake of the Evil God Army.” “Aahh~ You don’t get it at all either, Niel. You know, these guys are saying they did everything for my sake, but that’s wrong, isn’t it!” “It is not. We truly―” “Enough! Attacking a girl for my sake? Hah! Just hearing that makes me sick. You lot were simply driven by your own desires! It’s clear as day, you know.” “Uu-, t-, that is...” I hit the bullseye, and they began to lose their words. Even Pervert (Nielsen) and the others widened their eyes at my words. “I see. Ortissio, for the sake of your pride, you violated orders. I more or less understand that you attacked the Public Safety Force in retaliation for yesterday. Honestly, of course it makes sense that Lady Tilea is angry!” “C-, Certainly if I said that it had nothing to do with pride, I would be lying. But annihilating humans has no demerits for the Evil God Army. Yet despite that, Lady Tilea insulted us, and then forced us to bow to the likes of a human!” “That’s right. And then in your anger, you were about to attack me too, right?” Pervert (Nielsen) looked ready to attack Orty at any time. I’m a little happy that he’s so angry for me. But still, Orty and the rest really used a dirty hand.</s>

I recommend you to pack up and go back home now.”(Hajime) He thought what he heard was a mistake, but that man was defying an imperial order. The platoon leader grimaced in fury. “... boy, mind your words now. Is there something wrong with your head to not recognize who we are?” (Platoon Leader) The platoon leader glared at Hajime. The other Soldiers also glared at Hajime, creating a tense atmosphere. As the platoon leader scorned Hajime, he suddenly noticed a petite figure behind Hajime’s back. Even inside that tense atmosphere, Yue’s beauty shone just as brightly, immediately enchanting the platoon leader. He smirked lustfully. “Ah~, I see. I finally understand now. You’re nothing but a naive, ****, little boy! Let me teach you the horrors of this world. That young miss over there, now isn’t she a little beauty? After I chop your limbs off, I’ll play with her in front of your eyes until I’m satisfied, then sell her over to the slave merchants after I finish you off!” Hajime creased his brows in utter wrath. Even the expressionless Yue couldn’t help but express extreme disgust that anyone could tell. Yue extended her right hand, prepared to eliminate the trash that dared violate her presence. However, she was stopped by Hajime. Dumbfounded, Yue could only hear Hajime say- “In conclusion, you are my enemy, right?” (Hajime) “Ah?! Do you still not understand your situation! You ***** should be trembling on the ground seeking forgive-!?” (Platoon Leader) DOPANn!! The irritated platoon leader was unable to finish his sentence. Reason being that his brain was no longer operational. With a big hole in the middle of his forehead, his brain leaked out from behind his head, and he collapsed just like that. The other soldiers could only stare dumbfoundedly at the platoon leader’s corpse. DOPANn! One gunshot was heard, but six of the empire’s soldiers collapsed. In actuality, Hajime had shot at six soldiers scattered across the field, but due to his insane stats, abilities, and weapons, the six gunshots resounded as one.</s>

Blue indicates a labor surplus, red indicates a labor shortfall, and gray are those countries which are borderline. So by 2020, we still see a labor surplus in some countries, like Italy, France, the U.S., but this picture will change dramatically by 2030. By 2030, we will face a global workforce crisis in most of our largest economies, including three out of the four BRIC countries. China, with its former one-child policy, will be hit, as well as Brazil and Russia. Now, to tell the truth, in reality, the situation will be even more challenging. What you can see here are average numbers. We de-averaged them and broke them down into different skill levels, and what we found were even higher shortfalls for high-skilled people and a partial surplus for low-skilled workers. So on top of an overall labor shortage, we will face a big skill mismatch in the future, and this means huge challenges in terms of education, qualification, upskilling for governments and companies. Now, the next thing we looked into was robots, automation, technology. Will technology change this picture and boost productivity? Now, the short answer would be that our numbers already include a significant growth in productivity driven by technology. A long answer would go like this. Let's take Germany again. The Germans have a certain reputation in the world when it comes to productivity. In the '90s, I worked in our Boston office for almost two years, and when I left, an old senior partner told me, literally, "Send me more of these Germans, they work like machines." That was 1998. Sixteen years later, you'd probably say the opposite. "Send me more of these machines. They work like Germans." Technology will replace a lot of jobs, regular jobs. Not only in the production industry, but even office workers are in jeopardy and might be replaced by robots, artificial intelligence, big data, or automation. So the key question is not if technology replaces some of these jobs, but when, how fast, and to what extent? Or in other words, will technology help us to solve this global workforce crisis? Yes and no. This is a more sophisticated version of "it depends." Let's take the automotive industry as an example, because there, more than 40 percent of industrial robots are already working and automation has already taken place.</s>

And that brought me then to climate justice. Climate justice responds to the moral argument -- both sides of the moral argument -- to address climate change. First of all, to be on the side of those who are suffering most and are most effected. And secondly, to make sure that they're not left behind again, when we start to move and start to address climate change with climate action, as we are doing. In our very unequal world today, it's very striking how many people are left behind. In our world of 7.2 billion people, about 3 billion are left behind. 1.3 billion don't have access to electricity, and they light their homes with kerosene and candles, both of which are dangerous. And in fact they spend a lot of their tiny income on that form of lighting. 2.6 billion people cook on open fires -- on coal, wood and animal dung. And this causes about 4 million deaths a year and of course, most of those who die are women. So we have a very unequal world, and we need to change from "business as usual." And we shouldn't underestimate the scale and the transformative nature of the change which will be needed, because we have to go to zero carbon emissions by about 2050, if we're going to stay below two degrees Celsius of warming. And that means we have to leave about two-thirds of the known resources of fossil fuels in the ground. It's a very big change, and it means that obviously, industrialized countries must cut their emissions, must become much more energy-efficient, and must move as quickly as possible to renewable energy. For developing countries and emerging economies, the problem and the challenge is to grow without emissions, because they must develop; they have very poor populations. So they must develop without emissions, and that is a different kind of problem. Indeed, no country in the world has actually grown without emissions. All the countries have developed with fossil fuels, and then may be moving to renewable energy. So it is a very big challenge, and it requires the total support of the international community, with the necessary finance and technology, and systems and support, because no country can make itself safe from the dangers of climate change. This is an issue that requires complete human solidarity. Human solidarity, if you like, based on self-interest -- because we are all in this together, and we have to work together to ensure that we reach zero carbon by 2050. The good news is that change is happening, and it's happening very fast.</s>

We're at the ocean. It's twilight. We're watching the rising of the stars and the shifting of the tides. It's a stretch of beach we know so well. The smooth stones on the sand are familiar to us. If you saw these women on the street in their faded clothes, you might dismiss them as poor and simple. That would be a mistake. These women are descendants trained in the old ways by their elders, and now they're passing it on to me. They teach me the names of the winds and the rains, of astronomy according to a genealogy of stars. There's a new moon on the horizon. Hawaiians say it's a good night for fishing. They begin to chant. [Hawaiian chant] When they finish, they sit in a circle and ask me to come to join them. They want to teach me about my destiny. I thought every seven-year-old went through this. "Baby girl, someday the world will be in trouble. People will forget their wisdom. It will take elders' voices from the far corners of the world to call the world into balance. You will go far away. It will sometimes be a lonely road. We will not be there. But you will look into the eyes of seeming strangers, and you will recognize your ohana, your family. And it will take all of you. It will take all of you." These words, I hold onto all my life. Because the idea of doing it alone terrifies me. The year is 2007. I'm on a remote island in Micronesia. Satawal is one half-mile long by one mile wide. It's the home of my mentor. His name is Pius Mau Piailug. Mau is a palu, a navigator priest. He's also considered the greatest wave finder in the world. There are fewer than a handful of palu left on this island. Their tradition is so extraordinary that these mariners sailed three million square miles across the Pacific without the use of instruments. They could synthesize patterns in nature using the rising and setting of stars, the sequence and direction of waves, the flight patterns of certain birds. Even the slightest hint of color on the underbelly of a cloud would inform them and help them navigate with the keenest accuracy. When Western scientists would join Mau on the canoe and watch him go into the hull, it appeared that an old man was going to rest. In fact, the hull of the canoe is the womb of the vessel. It is the most accurate place to feel the rhythm and sequence and direction of waves. Mau was, in fact, gathering explicit data using his entire body. It's what he had been trained to do since he was five years old. Now science may dismiss this methodology, but Polynesian navigators use it today because it provides them an accurate determination of the angle and direction of their vessel.</s>

If you look at the research evidence -- that's extensive -- on how much early childhood programs affect the educational attainment, wages and skills of former participants in preschool as adults, you take those known effects, you take how many of those folks will be expected to stick around the state or local economy and not move out, and you take research on how much skills drive job creation, you will conclude, from these three separate lines of research, that for every dollar invested in early childhood programs, the per capita earnings of state residents go up by two dollars and 78 cents, so that's a three-to-one return. Now you can get much higher returns, of up to 16-to-one, if you include anti-crime benefits, if you include benefits to former preschool participants who move to some other state, but there's a good reason for focusing on these three dollars because this is salient and important to state legislators and state policy makers, and it's the states that are going to have to act. So there is this key benefit that is relevant to state policy makers in terms of economic development. Now, one objection you often hear, or maybe you don't hear it because people are too polite to say it, is, why should I pay more taxes to invest in other people's children? What's in it for me? And the trouble with that objection, it reflects a total misunderstanding of how much local economies involve everyone being interdependent. Specifically, the interdependency here is, is that there are huge spillovers of skills -- that when other people's children get more skills, including people whose skills don't change. So for example, numerous research studies have shown if you look at what really drives the growth rate of metropolitan areas, it's not so much low taxes, low cost, low wages; it's the skills of the area. Particularly, the proxy for skills that people use is percentage of college graduates in the area. So when you look, for example, at metropolitan areas such as the Boston area, Minneapolis-St. Paul, Silicon Valley, these areas are not doing well economically because they're low-cost. I don't know if you ever tried to buy a house in Silicon Valley. It's not exactly a low-cost proposition. They are growing because they have high levels of skills. So when we invest in other people's children, and build up those skills, we increase the overall job growth of a metro area. As another example, if we look at what determines an individual's wages, and we do statistical exploration of that, what determines wages, we know that the individual's wages will depend, in part, on that individual's education, for example whether or not they have a college degree.</s>

After that I wandered around every part of the world with Lady Hiyuki, battling with warriors of various places. This fist of mine was never dry of blood from combat. “Uhhhh, I guess you reap what you sow... still, why did you become a tonkotsu ramen shopkeeper? With the kind of strength you had originally as a field boss, you could easily become something like one of the Demon Generals, couldn’t you? “Demon general? ―Hah! That’s just a title to show off.

Missy too has to work hard to be helpful for Lady Hiyuki!” “―Ye-yeah, I think...I will work hard to ensure the safety of Lady Hiyuki!” “That’s the spirit!” While conversing, the contents of the bowl soon emptied out. “Thanks for the food. I thought I wouldn’t be able to eat all of that, but it was delicious and I was able to have it go down smoothly. How much do I pay for it?” “Ou, a tonkotsu ramen normal portion is 8 big copper coins.” “One...two...then, exactly 8 big copper coins. I’ll leave it here.” “Thank you very much! ―Come again, missy!” “Yes. I will do so. Well then, see you again Gaijin.” The girl parted with those words and left the store. The shopkeeper began to ignore things about her, but her last words turned his whole body numb. ‘Gaijin’.. even regulars and employees don’t know about that. The precious thing which that person gave to him, everything that he takes pride in. Something that he closed off so that no one would be able to call him by that except for that person. But in the same voice from that day, in the same tone from that day, he remembers it. “...Do-don’t tell me...” While searching for her retreating figure that had already vanished into the crowd, Gaijin froze like a statue. “Master! One order coming up!” Gaijin suddenly came back to his senses by the voice of his assistant. He grips the copper coins left over on the table like they were a treasured heirloom. After Gaijin made a big slow nod, he boiled the noodles and stirred the soup in a good mood that never had before.</s>

I didn’t expect that my decision to investigate the geography of the former Marquisate Knap before was going to be useful now. I asked the scouts that I hired to investigate the former Marquisate Knap to come to the mansion and explain the topography, road conditions, and geographical features of the Anheim region. The meeting would probably go for a while since the number of scouts was pretty large. Despite the long continuous meeting, maybe because they understood my circumstances or perhaps because they had already agreed to accompany me to Anheim, Neurath, Schunzel, and Frenssen were constantly asking questions and confirming things that even I had missed. By the way, in this mansion, there were rooms designed to keep the voices of people inside from leaking outside, and conversely, there were also rooms designed so the voices inside could be heard in the next room. Not all noble mansions had these rooms though. The latter type of room was created so that soldiers could be prepared in the next room when a suspicious guest arrived at the mansion. If that guest turned out to be a criminal or something, the owner of the house could just say ‘Come out, folks!’ so that the soldiers would surround the suspicious guest... Why did this description sound like noble houses were some kind of mafia hideout shown in the movies? If possible, I would have Lily stay in this room with us since she was going to draw a map of Anheim based on the scouts’ report, but it would have been strange to have a girl in a maid’s uniform stay in the room for a long time plus it was unbecoming as a noble. Honestly, it was just a pain in the neck. Proper contour maps didn’t exist in this medieval world. When I explained the contour map to Lily, she showed a ‘somehow understand but somehow didn’t understand’ expression. It may be because she had never come into contact with one before. I should show it to her by making one. Well, there were gradient maps in this world. They showed differences in ground elevation of certain places using color differences. However, only a few people had the ability to accurately measure the difference in ground elevation in this world, and national projects to measure the height of all mountains didn’t exist in this world because maps were mainly used for the military. As a result, there were many inaccurate maps available which were only enough for everyday life. That was why, when people were explaining an area for a report, they usually used simple expressions like ‘the hill on the left is taller than the hill on the right’ or ‘there is a road between the valley on the left and the hill on the right’. Because of that, depending on where the person who was reporting stood when he surveyed the area, the directions such as left-right, tall-short, and up-down could become jumbled. Therefore, the person who received that report must be careful. There were proper rules for directions for Capital Knights, but the people I asked to investigate the former Marquisate Knap were adventurers, not knights. We couldn’t exactly call them again later, so Frenssen and the others had to double-check everything. Really, sorry for the trouble everyone. “Haaah...” “It was tiring...”</s>

The man in the red robe shot a murderous glance at Mira, then clicked his tongue as he left the room. (Well, I was also an adult that didn’t behave like one though.) Mira drooped her shoulders disappointed in herself while Hinata bowed to her in apology. 「I’m sorry I made you go through that...」 Hinata tried to force a smile while saying that when a white shadow appeared to her side. Mira looked up to see what it was, and saw the girl in the white robe standing close to Hinata. 「Mary...」 Hinata turned to look at her too before saying that. The girl referred to as Mary looked like she was just slightly below twenty. She had long, light blue hair, with ornaments in the shape of a cross fastened to it in the middle. She looked like a quiet girl. 「You should’ve known this would happen, Miss Hinata. What were you thinking bringing a girl like her to stand alongside him?」 Contrary to her appearance, her voice was stern as she reprimanded Hinata. Then she turned to look at Mira and said ‘Don’t pay attention to him’ with a smile. Mira stood up while just saying it was not a problem. 「Also, is she really going to be your representative?」「Mira is a high-rank adventurer, and she has many more summoner contracts than I do.」 Hinata never intended for Mira to go through that, so her ears were flat against her head while her tail hung lifelessly. 「Even if she’s an adventurer...」「Well, I think it’s okay. I don’t mind at all, so you don’t have to worry. The same goes for you Hinata.」 Mira interrupted Mary before she could finish and smiled at the downcast Hinata. Mary forgot the rest of her sentence as her interest in Mira grew, she looked like there was much more to her than her appearance suggested. (I wonder what it is about this girl. There’s the way she speaks too, but she just doesn’t seem to act like a young girl.) While thinking that, Mary smiled while remembering King Solomon. Maybe they were some sort of partners. 「Either way, he acted really confident, that guy. Who is he?」 After acting like everything was fine, Mira asked about that man in the red robe. There had to be a reason for him to act so arrogantly. 「Well...」 Hinata’s ears sprang up a little as she quickly explained who he was. His name was Kairos Beltran. He was part of a well-known spellcaster family in the Arkite Kingdom and the son of Marquis Alphonse Beltran. His arrogant attitude aside, that meant he did have some skill as a spellcaster. Not only that, but ever since he began participating in the examination he would always end up in first place, so he developed a habit of looking down on everyone else.

Translate this from Japanese to English: ### JAPANESE: その段階を通して、アフリカの自主性は失われていきます。もちろん、アフリカには根本的な弱みがあることを認識するのは大切です。だけど同時に、機会や可能性もたくさんあるのです。アフリカが直面している難問についての考え方を、貧困撲滅などの、絶望的な挑戦から、希望のための挑戦に変えなければなりません。希望のための挑戦と考えることによって、挑戦することに価値が出てくるのです。アフリカに興味がある人々が直面している挑戦は、貧困を減らすことではありません。富を増やすための挑戦なのです。この2つを変えることで、もしもアフリカの人々が貧しいから貧困撲滅が必要だというと、良心の集まりでできた国際カルテルが、アフリカ大陸に何を持ってやっってくるでしょう? 貧しい者には薬を、空腹な者には食料を、そして内戦に直面する者には国際平和維持活動隊を。このような方法では収益性が少ないですし、症状を治療しているだけであって、アフリカの根本的な問題の原因は解決されないままなのです。誰かを学校に行かせて薬をあたえたりするだけでは、みなさんいいですか、彼らの富を作る事は出せません。富と言うのは収入が機能することであり、そして収入は利益的な貿易のチャンス又は高収入な仕事を見つけることからくるのです。さて、アフリカで富を生み出すことを話すにあたって、私達の2つ目の挑戦は、どの社会でも、誰が富を生み出すエージェントなのか?です。それは起業家達なのです。から、彼らはいつでも人口の4パーセントくらいですが、16パーセントは模倣者だと聞きました。でも、彼らは事業において成功してるのです。そこで、どこにお金を投資すればいいのか? お金は生産的に増えるように投資されなければなりません。そこでアフリカでの国内と国外両方の民間投資をサポートするのです。研究施設も支持しましょう、なぜなら知識は富を作り出す上でとても大切だからです。でも、現在、国際援助コミュニティーはアフリカで何をしているでしょう? 多額のお金が基礎健康、初等教育、食料救助確保のためにつぎ込まれているのです。そしてアフリカ大陸全体が、絶望的でチャリティーが必要な場所と化すのです。みなさんの中で一人でも、隣人や、友達、又は親戚がチャリティーのおかげで裕福になったという人はいますか? ものごいして、施し物を受け取るだけで? 皆さんのなかに一人でもそんな人を知ってる人はいますか? 誰か、親切で気前がいい国のおかげで発展した国をご存知でしょうか? 誰も手を上げていないと言うことは、私が言っていることは正しいと言うことですね。ボノ:知ってます! ボノがそんな国を知っているようですね。どの国ですか? ### ENGLISH: I want to say that it is important to recognize that Africa has fundamental weaknesses. But equally, it has opportunities and a lot of potential. We need to reframe the challenge that is facing Africa, from a challenge of despair, which is called poverty reduction, to a challenge of hope. We frame it as a challenge of hope, and that is worth creation. The challenge facing all those who are interested in Africa is not the challenge of reducing poverty. It should be a challenge of creating wealth. Once we change those two things -- if you say the Africans are poor and they need poverty reduction, you have the international cartel of good intentions moving onto the continent, with what? Medicines for the poor, food relief for those who are hungry, and peacekeepers for those who are facing civil war. And in the process, none of these things really are productive because you are treating the symptoms, not the causes of Africa's fundamental problems. Sending somebody to school and giving them medicines, ladies and gentlemen, does not create wealth for them. Wealth is a function of income, and income comes from you finding a profitable trading opportunity or a well-paying job. Now, once we begin to talk about wealth creation in Africa, our second challenge will be, who are the wealth-creating agents in any society? They are entrepreneurs. [Unclear] told us they are always about four percent of the population, but 16 percent are imitators. But they also succeed at the job of entrepreneurship. So, where should we be putting the money? We need to put money where it can productively grow. Support private investment in Africa, both domestic and foreign. Support research institutions, because knowledge is an important part of wealth creation. But what is the international aid community doing with Africa today? They are throwing large sums of money for primary health, for primary education, for food relief. The entire continent has been turned into a place of despair, in need of charity. Ladies and gentlemen, can any one of you tell me a neighbor, a friend, a relative that you know, who became rich by receiving charity? By holding the begging bowl and receiving alms? Does any one of you in the audience have that person? Does any one of you know a country that developed because of the generosity and kindness of another? Well, since I'm not seeing the hand, it appears that what I'm stating is true. Andrew Mwenda: I can see Bono says he knows the country. Which country is that? AM: Thank you very much.

The man seemed to be beside himself with excitement. His two eyes shone like stars, and his features were working convulsively. He was an elderly man, with a thin, projecting nose, a high, bald forehead, and a huge grizzled moustache. An opera hat was pushed to the back of his head, and an evening dress shirt-front gleamed out through his open overcoat. His face was gaunt and swarthy, scored with deep, savage lines. In his hand he carried what appeared to be a stick, but as he laid it down upon the floor it gave a metallic clang. Then from the pocket of his overcoat he drew a bulky object, and he busied himself in some task which ended with a loud, sharp click, as if a spring or bolt had fallen into its place. Still kneeling upon the floor he bent forward and threw all his weight and strength upon some lever, with the result that there came a long, whirling, grinding noise, ending once more in a powerful click. He straightened himself then, and I saw that what he held in his hand was a sort of gun, with a curiously misshapen butt. He opened it at the breech, put something in, and snapped the breech-lock. Then, crouching down, he rested the end of the barrel upon the ledge of the open window, and I saw his long moustache droop over the stock and his eye gleam as it peered along the sights. I heard a little sigh of satisfaction as he cuddled the butt into his shoulder; and saw that amazing target, the black man on the yellow ground, standing clear at the end of his foresight. For an instant he was rigid and motionless. Then his finger tightened on the trigger. There was a strange, loud whiz and a long, silvery tinkle of broken glass. At that instant Holmes sprang like a tiger on to the marksman's back, and hurled him flat upon his face. He was up again in a moment, and with convulsive strength he seized Holmes by the throat, but I struck him on the head with the butt of my revolver, and he dropped again upon the floor. I fell upon him, and as I held him my comrade blew a shrill call upon a whistle. There was the clatter of running feet upon the pavement, and two policemen in uniform, with one plain-clothes detective, rushed through the front entrance and into the room. "That you, Lestrade?" said Holmes. "Yes, Mr. Holmes. I took the job myself. It's good to see you back in London, sir."</s>

Since the situation was solved relatively peacefully and extremely quickly, the market was still open in the village. As expected, Fina was banned from leaving due to the incident, so she couldn’t go have fun. The three kidnappers likewise headed to what could be their death in the shape of training with Lyell. Maria was looking after Fina, while the Carbuncle was left with Lyell. In other words, the only ones in the mansion with time on their hands at the moment were three... no, four people. “Agh, ugh....” Once we finished breakfast, Cortina started groaning and moving about. Finia, I, and Ashella observed her from the side. “What’s wrong, Cortina? You’re being restless like a cat.” “I am a cat. At least compare me to a fox or something.” “Weren’t foxes closer to dogs?” “Who cares about that!” I lightly rebutted her take but she latched on to it excessively. This was her habit when she wanted to dodge the topic. Still, at least stop groaning like that. Either way, killing time here felt a bit bothersome. Though reluctant, I wanted to return to Stollar soon. I had to make the story consistent with Curt’s group’s, and above all, the Polymorph effect would soon run out. In these five years, Hastur’s research bore fruit and the Polymorph scroll’s effect had dramatically lengthened, and by now, it lasted for hours like the actual spell. It was extremely helpful that it had become so long. I really owed him a lot. I transformed into Reid yesterday at around pm when the sun was starting to go down. Due to the improvements, I approximated that I still had eight hours to go. That said, considering I absolutely must not get found out, I wanted to leave enough spare time. Despite that, Cortina was fidgeting around as if she had some business with me, so I couldn’t go back. “Agh, whatever! Finia.” “Y-Yes?” “The market fair is open in the village today too, right?” “That should be the case, yes.” “I’ll lend you Reid for today!” “Huh?” “Wait, don’t treat me like an object here!” I retorted to it instinctively, but I still couldn’t understand what she was planning. Why was she going out of her way to lend me to Finia? The answer to that was quickly revealed from her own mouth. “I mean, you haven’t met Reid in a long time, right?” “Huh? Oh, r-right! I have wanted to meet for so long.” Finia started pretending in a fluster. She was assumed to have come here from Nicole’s group as their representative. And the biggest combat powers among them—meaning Nicole and Michelle—decided to head to Kolbo. With Cloud as a bonus. The “plan” was to divide the party like this and tackle the incident while controlling information on both fronts. But since I easily caught the culprits, this ended up being all for naught, and Finia was enjoying her return to the village after so long. But then I appeared, who was also contacted.</s>

Twas absolutely odd!” Both of them made hasty expressions while cursing. They pull out more severe attacks, adding the number of things they annihilated. “... It’s not like I care. But, they seem to having fun.” Shrugging his shoulders towards the three enthusiastic girls that made him as the prize of the competition, Hajime somewhat given up. Then, without turning around, he rapidly fired Schlag over his shoulder towards the incoming Magma Serpent behind him. The bullets were fired evenly on the Magma Serpent’s body and the impacts blown the serpent’s body. At the same time, the impacts made the magic stone fluttered in the air. Repelling the masses of magma that flew from the previous half body, Hajime pinpoint shot through the falling magic stone right before it fell into the ocean of magma. The bullet Hajime fired from Schlag was the similar exploding bullet like Shia’s. However, because it would be problematic if the bullets were too big, their power didn’t reach slug bullet’s. Of course if he used Schlagen, then it would be possible to bring out that much of a destructive power. However, it was the first time the bullets were used, similar to an experiment, so he only used the two guns. The normal sized bullet didn’t have the power to blow away the Magma Serpent along with its magic stone, so Hajime now used around 2 shots to blown off the magma armor and sniped the exposed magic stone using Donner’s pinpoint attack. Naturally, the Schlagen was capable of ignoring the magma armor and penetrate through the magic stone, but it had too much penetrative power added that it wasn’t easy to locate the magic stone thus wasn’t suitable for aiming at the magic stone. Now, another two Magma Serpents were attacking Hajime from his right and left, but he withdrew in high speed using “Aerodynamic” and “Ground Shrinker.” He flipped mid-air and fired Schlag in inverted pose. One explosive sound rang out. However, the fired masses of killing intent were four. The Magma Serpents, who were attacking from right and left with tremendous momentum didn’t have any chance to be confused from the suddenly disappearing prey. They were attacked by the impact coming from above thus had its magma bodies dispersed, exposing the core, the magic stone. At the same time, two flashes of light were fired from Donner and shot through the two magic stone without even one millimeter of error.

You’ll do it somewhere else, so let me take you there.” After she pressed something like a switch on the pedestal, a staircase leading underground appeared on the floor. It seemed like Sareenea had recently modified the building by adding a basement under it. The modifications had only finished the day before. And when they followed her to the basement, a large room came into their view. There they saw the elves and female dark elves that had brought the freezer earlier that morning, sitting in front of desks and seemingly busy working on something. “Welcome to the workplace for the second unit. Apart from my job as an alchemist, I also draw manga as a side job. These people here are all my assistants.” It seemed that Sareenea had also been making a living as a manga artist apart from being an alchemist. Her assistants were composed of two elves and two female dark elves. And strangely enough for the society of this world, they were both two married couples between elves and dark elves. They mostly worked on manga, but they also helped with transportation and material gathering for alchemy. “They only work five days a week, have paid vacations, maternity leaves, and even free days for important family occasions or other similar events. It’s a transparent and honest job they can realize from home.” It seemed like they did get good treatment, though her mentioning it was ‘from home’ left a rather somber impression. So just in case, Schenna decided to ask a bit more about it. “Did you get permission from Reesha to have that side job?” “Of course. They all are also registered members of the Holy Bow.” They did have permission to work, so at least there was no problem on that front. The basement was also equipped with devices that worked off dark cores, so it was well illuminated. There was also a kitchen, dining room, a place to train for combat and testing weapons. After Sareenea made Schenna and Luthors change into the clothes she had prepared for them, she moved onto the main topic. “I want you two to act out the scripts I showed you earlier, following all my instructions.” “Umm... What does this get-up mean?” “A female knight serving the Hero, and a female knight serving the Demon King.” Clad in white armor, Schenna looked confused. But Luthors seemed to be completely in character wearing a jet black armor. Apart from their lines, the script also demanded a scene of the two confronting each other with practice swords. “I really want to use this as a reference to draw manga, so I’m expecting a good act out of you two.” Sareenea and her assistants sat on their desks and turned to observe the two of them. Luthors unsheathed her practice sword and Schenna finally resigned herself and focused on the scene Sareenea had prepared for them.</s>

So we do everything that leads up to success, but then we get there. We figure we've made it, we sit back in our comfort zone, and we actually stop doing everything that made us successful. And it doesn't take long to go downhill. And I can tell you this happens, because it happened to me. Reaching success, I worked hard, I pushed myself. But then I stopped, because I figured, "Oh, you know, I made it. I can just sit back and relax." Reaching success, I always tried to improve and do good work. But then I stopped because I figured, "Hey, I'm good enough. I don't need to improve any more." Reaching success, I was pretty good at coming up with good ideas. Because I did all these simple things that led to ideas. But then I stopped, because I figured I was this hot-shot guy and I shouldn't have to work at ideas, they should just come like magic. And the only thing that came was creative block. I couldn't come up with any ideas. Reaching success, I always focused on clients and projects, and ignored the money. Then all this money started pouring in. And I got distracted by it. And suddenly I was on the phone to my stockbroker and my real estate agent, when I should have been talking to my clients. And reaching success, I always did what I loved. But then I got into stuff that I didn't love, like management. I am the world's worst manager, but I figured I should be doing it, because I was, after all, the president of the company. Well, soon a black cloud formed over my head and here I was, outwardly very successful, but inwardly very depressed. But I'm a guy; I knew how to fix it. I bought a fast car. It didn't help. I was faster but just as depressed. So I went to my doctor. I said, "Doc, I can buy anything I want. But I'm not happy. I'm depressed. It's true what they say, and I didn't believe it until it happened to me. But money can't buy happiness." He said, "No. But it can buy Prozac." And he put me on anti-depressants. And yeah, the black cloud faded a little bit, but so did all the work, because I was just floating along. I couldn't care less if clients ever called. And clients didn't call. Because they could see I was no longer serving them, I was only serving myself.</s>

Wow, a muscle uncle seems to be the receptionist. He looks quite strong on the appearance alone. Wasn’t it supposed to be a beautiful woman? The norm is probably this. Then the receptionist uncle spoke. 「Oh! Isn’t this a pretty cute little miss! Is there anything you want with the guild?」「Um... you see.... I want to register as an adventurer...」「Hee?

The previously well-decorated hall had now turned into a sea of blood. The long-haired carpet soaked up the blood and made me feel like I was walking on a wet dust cloth. All five men had drawn their last breath and no one was left to make another sound. “Did I go a bit too far? I should’ve left one alive at least, huh.” I didn’t know how to get into the basement. Leaving one of them alive to get that information out of him would’ve been a smarter choice, but it seemed that being under their lusty gazes made the blood rush to my head. Well, that was a new experience for me, so let’s just overlook it this time. There was a sea of blood around, as if it was a battlefield, but not a drop of it was on my body. That was no surprise, however. I was actually smeared with blood, but it wasn’t reflected on my illusionary form. In reality, I was in a terrible condition, having vomited blood all over my upper body. If there were onlookers, they would’ve found my appearance very out of place. I took a deep breath and calmed myself down. The fresh smell of blood was filling my lungs, but I pushed it out of my mind. First I had to inspect my gauntlets that malfunctioned in the middle of the battle. The thread might have gotten entangled inside as I couldn’t even wind it in. Not just that, I couldn’t even move other threads either. At this rate, I could only use the thread that was already out, but it was only a meter long at best. The left gauntlet had a big dent and its threads were entwined with my body. It was impossible to use it as a weapon at this point. It was a shame, but I had to detach it. “...Oh well, I’ll handle it somehow.” It was a shame that I couldn’t use those threads as weapons, but I still had my dagger so I could still fight. Plus, I also had that one-meter thread on my right hand. I could at least use it in close combat. As for the dagger, I could also turn it into a spear if push came to shove. In the end, I gripped the thread from my broken gauntlet with both hands and headed deep into the passage in search of Elliot. Piano wires were easier to use now, but the Mythril one was on another level in terms of toughness and sharpness. When it came to battles in passages like this or even the basement, the length of it wasn’t the most important part. I would still be fighting while holding the thread with both hands like this, so it was no problem. As I proceeded in the passage, I noticed “something” strange. It was the blurry blood marks on a one-meter-long wall. I noticed it because of my small height, but a tall Adventurer would’ve had to look down to notice it. “Hmm... Is it Elliot’s blood?” Perhaps he was roughed up a bit during the kidnapping and got some scratches or something. Either way, he seemed to have used his blood to leave marks behind to let others know of his location. Following those marks, I headed deeper into the passage. I arrived at the side of the kitchen that was near the back door. The blood marks continued to the storage room next to it.</s>

Her heart was churning like a sea that was hit directly by a typhoon. Following an impulse that she didn’t even understand herself, Yue launched a lightning dragon. Nervousness ran through the other members at the current situation that was moving suddenly. However, Denreed only kept smiling. With an attitude that could even be said as composed, once more, he snapped his fingers. At that instant, along the edge of the altar where the throne was located, a wall of light rose up. The lightning dragon that was howling thunderously while approaching Denreed crashed onto that barrier, yet it was unable to destroy the very strong barrier. Inside the surging lightning, Denreed talked with a gentle voice from the other side of the barrier. “Aleytia Gardea Wesperiterio Avatar. The most beautiful and wise queen in history, my beloved niece. I am certainly your uncle. I wonder if you remember. That I was a powerful monster user.” “What are-” “If it’s the current you then you should understand. Just why the I at that time was that powerful of a monster user.” “...-, an age of god magic...metamorphosis magic.” Denreed smiled saying “Good answer”, just like in the past when he watched over Yue’s study. Attacked by déjà vu, Yue’s expression distorted. “Exactly. To say further, I also obtained regeneration magic. Though unfortunately, my talent in that area is poor, it’s like throwing a pearl before swine. In exchange, I can boast that I am very much talented in metamorphosis magic. I also worked really hard on it. As the result, not only creating monsters, I also became able to perform strengthening on my own body. That’s how I extended my life until now.” Actually, Hajime had drawn out his railgun and nonchalantly fired under the cover of the lightning dragon, but understanding that the barrier couldn’t be broken through easily, he put his hand on Yue’s shoulder. With that lightning dragon that had bad efficiency and convergence rate incomparable from usual due to her disordered mind, it was only a pointless waste of magic power. Yue suddenly returned to her senses from the warmth on her shoulder, she glared once at Denreed with dangerous eyes then dispersed the lightning dragon. She then recovered her calmness in a few minutes before making her question, even so, she didn’t hide how her tone became rougher. “...That day the devil that uses the white dragon, he said that you are a god with the name Aruv. He said that you had led the devil race for a few hundred years until now!”</s>

LV4 is the super first-class. LV 5 is considered god class, and among those of the LV4, only 1% can reach it. In other words, only one in 100 million people can achieve that. The teacher is best at fire magic, but the level of other types of magic is also high. He has a lot of MP and recovers fast, so even if he operates at full power during the day, he will recover overnight. Therefore, teacher gladly launches spells my way when he is free. Of course, he mainly uses LV2 spells, but sometimes it’s LV3. If I am injured he will heal me with healing magic, but recently he stopped doing it. He said to fix my wounds myself. Moreover, he wants me to erect a barrier while simultaneously healing myself, what a magnificent recklessness. He said that if I become the「Moving Hospital」it would be very strategically valuable. I can understand his logic, but my MP is too little. Being hit until my barrier dissipates from mana depletion, this was a recent pattern for me. By the way, if your mana hits rock bottom, you will be attacked by intense sleepiness. In the end, I will lose to the sleepiness, pass out, then, after I recover my mana by 1P (around 5 minutes), I will be forcibly woken up, and repeat the same thing again. Right now, my status looked as such: Rinos (Slave Barrier Master, 7 years old) HP: 38 MP: 122 Recovery Magic LV1 Life Magic LV1 Chanting LV1 Appraisal Magic LV3 Compared to any other child of my age it is quite high. Judging by common sense, if either you HP or MP passed 100 you reached the values of an adult person. However, compared to the teacher my MP is too little. Even though my MP is that of an adult person, I will still have 0 in the end. You can imagine how hard my training is. For some reason, my level of appraisal magic was quite high. I desperately tried to understand when the teacher’s spell will activate and ended up being somewhat able to see his flow of mana. At this point, I’m able to perceive the true status of a person. It’s a pleasant miscalculation. As appraisal magic grows in level, you can read other people’s statuses and at the same time hide your own skills. Not just that, you can detect people and their movements in a certain area, or maybe even detect if they are allies or enemies. It seems that the founder of Versam family was able to do that, but right now, it is considered a legendary magic. I definitely want to master it.</s>

Raise your hand if you see dolphins. OK, those people who raised their hands, afterwards, the rest of the audience, go talk to them, all right? Actually, this is the best example of priming by experience that I know. If you are a child under the age of 10 who haven't been ruined yet, you will look at this image and see dolphins. Now, some of you adults here are saying, "What dolphins? What dolphins?" But in fact, if you reversed the figure ground -- in other words, the dark areas here -- I forgot to ask for a pointer -- but if you reverse it, you'll see a whole series of little dolphins. By the way, if you're also a student at CalTech -- they also tend to just see the dolphins. It's based on experience. Now, something like this can be used because this is after all talk about design, too. This was done by Saatchi and Saatchi, and they actually got away with this ad in Australia. So, if you look at this ad for beer, all those people are in sort of provocative positions. But they got it passed, and actually won the Clio awards, so it's funny how you can do these things. Remember that sort of, um. This is the joke I did when the Florida ballot was going around. You know, count the dots for Gore; count the dots for Bush; count 'em again ... You can violate your expectations about experience. Here is an outside water fountain that I created with some friends of mine, but you can stop the water in drops and -- actually make all the drops levitate. This is something we're building for, you know, amusement parks and that kind of stuff. Now let's take a static image. Can you see this? Do you see the middle section moving down and the outer sections moving up? It's completely static. It's a static image. How many people see this illusion? It's completely static. Right. Now, when -- it's interesting that when we look at an image we see, you know, color, depth, texture. And you can look at this whole scene and analyze it. You can see the woman is in closer than the wall and so forth. But the whole thing is actually flat. It's painted. It's trompe l'oeil. And it was such a good trompe l'oeil that people got irritated when they tried to talk to the woman and she wouldn't respond. Now, you can make design mistakes. Like this building in New York. So that when you see it from this side, it looks like the balconies tilt up, and when you walk around to the other side it looks like the balconies go down. So there are cases where you have mistakes in design that incorporate illusions.</s>

Grulf took the rear. While he was a pup, Grulf wouldn’t allow the goblins to surprise him. I kept looking back to make sure that Nia and Grulf were still behind me. “...” Nia was following silently and with a serious expression. It would have been nice to turn this expedition into a lesson. I could ask her to inspect the footprints to guess the number of goblins. Tell her what you could learn from the leftover food. Which rooms were likely to have goblins. However, this was a time when it was most important to stay alert. Normally, you wouldn’t be able to talk to each other like that once you enter the goblin cave. It was possible to communicate through Telepathy, but I decided against it. We just used hand signals as we made our way forward. Several goblins attacked us on the way, but we killed them without much effort. Nia had trained every day, and so she had skills that were shocking for her age. I inspected the tracks and continued on. It seemed that there weren’t any human captives after all. All the better. This mission would be able to end without incident. It was just as I started to have such hopes. “...?” I found a strange footprint. It was bigger than a goblin’s. Maybe four or five times as large. I looked at Nia. She had noticed it too. She pointed at it and looked at me. Like she was waiting for instruction. It was good that she hadn’t panicked. It could be a Goblin Lord. I had encountered a Goblin Lord the first time I met Shia. Shia was a B-rank Adventurer and struggled in that fight. That was how strong Goblin Lords were. Still, Nia would be fine as long as I was here. Especially if we could ambush it. However, it was strange that the footprints seemed to appear out of nowhere. Goblin Lords couldn’t fly. So it must have walked in from the entrance. And yet the footprints seemed to start here. (Was there a different entrance?) There could be, if this was a cave. But this was a dragon ruin. A dragon ruin that Kathe had cast magic on to protect. I think Kathe would have told me about any other exits. But then again, this was Kathe. Forgetfulness wasn’t entirely out of the question. I decided to use Telepathy. And with that, I connected to Nia and Grulf through magic. And then I talked to them slowly so they wouldn’t be alarmed. ‘This is Telepathy. Be calm and listen.’ “!” Nia and Grulf looked shocked for an instant, but then nodded in unison. While surprised, Nia hadn’t made a sound.</s>

I...thought I should create a list of herbs for you to cultivate.” As soon as we went out into the garden, Sebastian handed me a sheet of paper. It was a list of herbs with types and quantities. And it also told me how much I would receive as payment for delivering them. Hmm... One gold per Loe leaf... I see... But I had no concept of money in this world, so I wasn’t sure what to make of the prices... That was another thing I could discuss with someone when there was time. However, the number of orders were... “Sebastian, I feel like the numbers are quite low?” With Weed Cultivation, it would only take a few seconds...or half a minute at most, to make a single herb. And Sebastian had watched me do it enough times to understand it... If I only had to make eight different types of herbs, including the Loe, and ten of each, then my job would be finished very quickly. “In regards to that, Mr. Takumi, I had to think about how you fainted the other day.” “We cannot overwork you, Mr. Takumi. We still do not know the limits of your ability. And so I think we should watch carefully in order to be safe. Besides, you said that you also wanted to conduct your own experiments. And so surely you should save some of your strength for that.” “...I hadn’t realized you were being so considerate. Thank you.” Whether it was a contract with favorable conditions, or allowing me to stay in this mansion, I was incredibly grateful towards them. But considering how it had been when I was experimenting previously, I thought I could still make a lot more. Still, I decided to accept Ms. Claire and Sebstian’s kindness. After all, I didn’t want to be overwhelmed with work, like with my previous job. “Oh? Claire...you seem awfully soft towards Mr. Takumi?” “No-not at all! This is something that Sebastian and I discussed together!” “No...it was Lady Claire who insisted...” “Sebastian!” “...Forgive me.” At Mr. Ekenhart’s words, Ms. Claire became red in the face and started shouting. Now her father was grinning at her, and so was Sebastian, even though he had been silenced... The two were quite alike... I’m not sure if that is a good thing. “Uhh, now I will show you Weed Cultivation.” “Wuff!” “Leo...you should play with Tilura and Sherry.” “Wuff...” “I’ll play with Leo!” “Kyau!” I interrupted them so that I could start testing Weed Cultivation, but then Leo suddenly started to protest. I think that she was worried that I would faint again. But I was fine.</s>

He kept being down on the ground on all fours without even lifting his face. His expression was hidden by his hair and completely unseen. Although, even though he was not replying it seemed that he wasn’t in silence. The ears of Ryutaro and Shizuku caught the faint sound. A small voice that didn’t even form words. Kouki was hanging his head down while whispering inaudibly. “――――Lies, impossible. This is strange. Absolutely, wrong. Because I am correct. I was just being brainwashed. For me to be the enemy...to Shizuku...to Ryutaro...what had I done...even though it shouldn’t be like this...even though I just want to act righteously...I just want to be a hero...just like Jii-chan...that’s, all...why something like this is...everything is stolen...because Shizuku and Kaori too were stolen by that guy...Ryutaro is also that guy’s ally...” “O, oi.

This is because that guy stole everything important to me. The wrong one is that guy. If only that guy isn’t here then everything will go well. Yet, Kaori and Shizuku and Ryutaro and Suzu too, everyone, to that guy...this is a betrayal. I was betrayed. I was-, betrayed! By all of you!” Kouki ignored Shizuku and Ryutaro’s calling and kept whispering before he suddenly lifted his face in the blink of eye with a dangerous look, glaring at the two with a gaze filled with hatred. No, perhaps that expression, should be called as grief instead. The feeling of guilt and remorse, the uneasiness of being unable to return anymore, fretfulness, despair, and so on, the saturation of the negative emotions was attacking himself, even he himself already didn’t understand just what should he do, it was that kind of expression. Kouki was in a state of panic. His appearance, was just like a lost child. But, the strength that he possessed wasn’t that of a child by any means. A scream that was filled with plenty of Kouki’s hatred and grief resounded, at the same time his magic power that should have dried up surged out with an unbelievable force. The magic power thunderously twisted in a spiral and pierced the sky. That radiance, was as if... “-, Kouki! Stop it! Your magic power should have dried up already!

In this talk, I could only highlight the things that they said, such as calling him a "retarded fool." But it was much more elaborate, they went to great lengths to put money in Sami Osmakac's hands, which he then used to purchase weapons from the undercover agent. When he went to trial, the central piece of evidence was that he paid for these weapons, when in truth, these transcripts show how the FBI orchestrated someone who was essentially mentally ill and broke to get money to then pay for weapons that they could then charge him in a conspiracy for. TR: One final question. Less than 10 days ago, the FBI arrested some potential ISIS suspects in Brooklyn, saying that they might be headed to Syria, and were those real, or examples of more of the same? TA: Well so far, we only know what's come out in the court file, but they seem to suggest it's another example of the same. These types of sting operations have moved from flavor to flavor. So initially it was al Qaeda plots, and now the Islamic State is the current flavor. What's worth noting about that case is that the three men that were charged only began the plot to go to Syria after the introduction of the FBI informant, and in fact, the FBI informant had helped them with the travel documents that they needed. In kind of a comical turn in that particular case, one of the defendant's mother had found out that he was interested in going to Syria and had hid his passport. So it's unclear that even if he had showed up at the airport, that he ever could have gone anywhere. So yes, there are people who might be interested in joining the Islamic State in the United States, and those are people that the United States government should be looking at to see if they're interested in violence here. In this particular case, given the evidence that's so far come out, it suggests the FBI made it possible for these guys to move along in a plan to go to Syria when they were never close to that in the first place. TR: Thanks a lot, that's amazing. TA: Thank you.</s>

It was similar to the teleportation spell that Aste used. As expected of Maxwell, he already made that technique his. With that, we could return to the desolate hut instantly as there was nothing to prevent teleportation there. It could also serve as an emergency escape point. After leaving the hut, we flew up into the sky with Flight. The reason why we chose to fly instead of walking was partly due to my fatigue from the daytime. That said, flying in the sky with no obstructions left the risk of being detected, but we were already behind them by half a day, so we needed to make haste. To decrease the risk of detection as much as possible, we flew at a high altitude and overlooked the land from there. The mountain at night had no lights, only a dark rocky area stretching on. We had a fire lit inside the hut, but it wasn’t seen from high above, either. It seems that Cloud did a good job plugging holes in the ceiling. “Cloud seems to be fit to be a carpenter, doesn’t he?” “Wait, Reid. Our bonfire aside, is it not odd that we cannot see the one the other people would have made?” “Hmm...? Now that he mentioned it, there was little vegetation beyond us. And there was nothing similar to our hut, either. That meant that those people shouldn’t have had any means of hiding their bonfire from the skies. And yet, we couldn’t find anything resembling it from above, which made it strange. “Could there be a hut somewhere that we don’t know of?” “Or perhaps they used Earth Wall to block the light... Or maybe...” “...They entered the Colchis’ Nest, huh?” We cleared out its nest thoroughly. There shouldn’t even be a single scale of it left inside. Dragons had a tendency of collecting shiny things, so it had some treasure gathered there, but we gave it to the United Alliance. In other words, there was nothing notable there right now. “There shouldn’t be anything there... But maybe we are wrong.” “Shall we check it?” Maxwell was also there during our battle. He could easily blow the entire nest to smithereens as well. But I shook my head at his suggestion. “No, the enemy might be hostile. Rather, the fact that they are sneaking around in a place like this makes that the more likely option. If we fly into the nest, we could get spotted by them and they might turn hostile on us. I’d rather avoid any danger.” “That is true. Then I shall send my vision there.” “Send your vision?” “It is part of the Perception magic system. Different from a familiar, this allows you to send only your sight to someplace and peer into it. The problem is that I would not be able to see around me while casting it.” “If you can do it while flying, then please do.” He really had all kinds of tricks up his sleeve. This is why I was so reliant on him. Responding to my request, he constructed a magic circle and cast the spell. “Crimson five, Gold six, Jade six—Magi-sight.”</s>

But it's part of the puzzle. Other transportation efficiency is as important as cars and trucks. Renewables at the current levels of technological efficiency can make this much difference. And with what Vinod, and John Doerr and others, many of you here -- there are a lot of people directly involved in this -- this wedge is going to grow much more rapidly than the current projection shows it. Carbon Capture and Sequestration -- that's what CCS stands for -- is likely to become the killer app that will enable us to continue to use fossil fuels in a way that is safe. Not quite there yet. OK. Now, what can you do? Reduce emissions in your home. Most of these expenditures are also profitable. Insulation, better design. Buy green electricity where you can. I mentioned automobiles -- buy a hybrid. Use light rail. Figure out some of the other options that are much better. It's important. Be a green consumer. You have choices with everything you buy, between things that have a harsh effect, or a much less harsh effect on the global climate crisis. Consider this: Make a decision to live a carbon-neutral life. Those of you who are good at branding, I'd love to get your advice and help on how to say this in a way that connects with the most people. It is easier than you think. It really is. A lot of us in here have made that decision, and it is really pretty easy. It means reduce your carbon dioxide emissions with the full range of choices that you make, and then purchase or acquire offsets for the remainder that you have not completely reduced. And what it means is elaborated at climatecrisis.net. There is a carbon calculator. Participant Productions convened -- with my active involvement -- the leading software writers in the world, on this arcane science of carbon calculation, to construct a consumer-friendly carbon calculator. You can very precisely calculate what your CO2 emissions are, and then you will be given options to reduce. And by the time the movie comes out in May, this will be updated to 2.0, and we will have click-through purchases of offsets. Next, consider making your business carbon-neutral. Again, some of us have done that, and it's not as hard as you think. Integrate climate solutions into all of your innovations, whether you are from the technology, or entertainment, or design and architecture community.</s>

It’s safest to have all of my skills at a high level. Now then, let’s compose myself and do blacksmithing already. When I walked towards the blacksmith workshop with a slight gloom, the master stopped me. “Hey, Miss. I’ve thought about this repeatedly, but there’s something I don’t understand... Can I ask you this? Ah, I’m not going to make you tell me how to make it, so rest assured.” “Haa. Sure.” “Thanks. So why did you make the handle of this katana with metal? Well, I think that the metal thread on the handle is honestly amazing, but it will kill the impact of the blade, right? Your hands will also get numb after swinging it several times, won’t it?” Eh...? ...Ah!? No good, I was too careless! Now that he said it, that’s right!? Wood and silk were chosen for the handle to make sure the user’s wrist wouldn’t get damaged due to the impact! Maybe I was stupid!? I played too much! Ahh, ahh, what should I do? What kind of excuse should I make? I couldn’t just tell him that I made it like this because I was playing around without thinking anything, right? First of all, I had to make sure that my face didn’t look upset! Ah, right. I had to cover up my facial expression and mood using the [Concealment] and [Disguise] I just learned! With full power!! “Ahh, I made it for fun... It’s not for an actual fight.” On top of that, I tried to lie while tilting my head. Well, it’s true that I played too much and caused that error, so it was half-truth? “Ah... I see... So you were testing various techniques you have learned.” Ohh, did I fool him? But if I think about it calmly, I definitely sounded very disappointing, right... Even I realized that I was playing too much. I had to seriously reflect on this. The lesson I learned this time was, “Don’t play with weapons!” ...But having fun was important, so I was still going to play! “I understand why you’re doing this, but if possible, can you fix this to a proper one? Ah, but if you don’t want your technique to be stolen, I will give up...” Ah... I see now. Sure, sure. “I don’t mind.” It’s not a big deal. I guess I can try? So I remade the proper one in around fifteen minutes and returned the katana to the master. For some reason, he left with great joy. Hmm, I had this feeling for a while, but the master might be a blacksmith fanatic...? Well, I don’t really care. Haa... I was already tired, but... ah, the levels of my [Concealment] and [Disguise] had risen, ahaha... haa.</s>

I mean, they generally are, when you look in the paper, right? So I want to know who all the people in the chatroom are. So okay, you can go in the chatroom, but only if everybody in the chatroom is using their real names, and they submit full copies of their police report. But of course, if anybody in the chatroom asked for his real name, I'd say no. You can't give them your real name. Because what happens if they turn out to be perverts, and teachers and whatever. So you have this odd sort of paradox if I know who everybody else is, but I don't want anybody else to know who he is. And so you get this sort of logjam around identity where you want full disclosure from everybody else, but not from yourself. And there's no progress, we get stuck. And so the chatroom thing doesn't work properly, and it's a very bad way of thinking about identity. So on my RSS feed, I saw this thing about - I just said something bad about my RSS feed, didn't I? I should stop saying it like that. For some random reason, I can't imagine, something about cheerleaders turned up in my inbox. And I read this story about cheerleaders, and it's a fascinating story. This happened a couple of years ago in the U.S. There were some cheerleaders in a team at a high school in the U.S., and they said mean things about their cheerleading coach, as I'm sure kids do about all of their teachers all of the time, and somehow the cheerleading coach found out about this. She was very upset. And so she went to one of the girls, and said, "you have to give me your Facebook password." I read this all the time, where even at some universities and places of education, kids are forced to hand over their Facebook passwords. So you've got to give them your Facebook password. She was a kid! What she should have said is, "my lawyer will be calling you first thing in the morning. It's an outrageous imposition on my 4th Amendment right to privacy, and you're going to be sued for all the money you've got." That's what she should have said. But she's a kid, so she hands over the password. The teacher can't log into Facebook, because the school has blocked access to Facebook. So the teacher can't log into Facebook until she gets home. So the girl tells her friends, guess what happened? The teacher logged in, she knows. So the girls just all logged into Facebook on their phones, and deleted their profiles. And so when the teacher logged in, there was nothing there. My point is, those identities, they don't think about them the same way. Identity is, especially when you're a teenager, a fluid thing. You have lots of identities.</s>

Then the merchant proposed it to Temuru once again. Now it was up to our side to decide. Would he believe the merchant he was seeing for the first time and accept the subjugation request, or not trust him, ignore and move on. Temuru glanced towards Leon. He wanted to take care of the bandits, so he responded with a firm nod. “Understood. We shall accept it.” “I’ll go too.” “Lady Nicole!?” “I mean, Leon is a warrior, right? A scout is indispensable in night battles. I’m probably the one with the highest skill in that field.” “I certainly have some scouting skill, but I am nowhere near as sharp as you.” “Right? So take me along.” Finia was hesitant about my participation until the end, but after persuading her that it was for both sides’ safety, she finally gave in. “Then, please. But prioritize your safety above everything. It would be great trouble for me if you died.” “Yes, I’m fully aware of it.” After we all came to an agreement, Temuru gave that warning. If Leon died here, Temuru would have no choice but to return back to Raum. And now that Heath’s party had more people to protect, they would be easier prey for the bandits. Hence his point to prioritize Leon’s safety. After that, we checked our equipment and advanced towards the highway. Thus, bandit subjugation was waiting ahead of us.</s>

The first course of action today was to seek a base, but with a twist: the search would be conducted from the sky, as far upward as possible. To be specific, he was planning to look for something conspicuous in this sea of trees as well as to test how far he could fly. “Shall I set out now, then? He propelled himself out of the tree where he had been sleeping and into the sky with a vigorous leap, just as he had done the day before. “Hyulooo!” Once in the sky, with a view of the sunrise, he ascended higher and higher, with the greenery blanketed below him. As the area of visibility broadened, a number of distinctive things came into sight. When he felt it was impossible to soar any higher, he came to a halt and took in his surroundings. “Oh...” Assuming the sun rose from the east, there was a farming village to the west where he initially awoke, and after that, there was a gap revealing various stream-like things, but the greenery extended in general. Within that, a faint mountain, horizon, and city-like structure can be distinguished in the distance. But it wasn’t such locations that attracted his attention; it was two things that he could recognize at a glance, even in the midst of the lush vegetation. The first was a massive lake to the north, which might be one of the water sources based on the stream. The other was a gigantic tree visible to the southeast, which was evidently several times the size of other trees, with the surrounding flora entirely losing their color, possibly due to the gigantic tree absorbing all the nutrients from the lake, or perhaps because they were under the shade of the tree. These two distinctive landmarks were conspicuous not only in terms of their size but also because the amount of phosphorescence emitted from them was remarkably greater than that of their surroundings. Perhaps these will be what people call a “sacred place” on earth. “However, I don’t feel inclined to go there.” While gazing at the overflowing phosphorescence, a murmur inadvertently emerged from his mouth. Light blue phosphorescence was emanating from the massive lake and pale green phosphorescence was flowing from the gigantic tree, but along with the phosphorescence, there was a substantial amount of phosphorescence of another color, which seemed to be that of an animal. Yeah, there is definitely something dangerous out there. If I encountered them, it would definitively be the end of my life. Therefore, he was better off steering clear of those two places. “In that case...” He surveyed his environment as he progressively descended in altitude. Even the forest trees, which appeared to be uniformly tall at high elevations, were unexpected of varying heights when viewed at low altitudes.</s>

I asked him, by the way, if he knew jiujitsu, because his arms looked powerful. Then he put force in his forearm, and told me to touch it. I felt its swelled muscle which was hard as the pumic stone in the public bathhouse. I was deeply impressed by his massive strength, and asked him if he could not knock five or six of Red Shirt in a bunch. "Of course," which was very amusing. According to the statement of Porcupine himself, this muscle, if he bends the arm back with force, would snap a paper-string wound around it twice. I said I might do the same thing if it were a paper-string, and he challenged me. "No, you can't," As it would not look well if I failed, I did not try. "Say, after you have drunk all you want to-night at the dinner, take a fall out of Red Shirt and Clown, eh?" I suggested to him for fun. Porcupine thought for a moment and said, I wanted to know why, and he pointed out that it would be bad for Koga. "Besides, if I'm going to give it to them at all, I've to get them red handed in their dirty scheme, or all the blame will be on me," he added discretely. Even Porcupine seems to have wiser judgment than I. "Then make a speech and praise Mr. Koga sky-high. My speech becomes sort of jumpy, wanting dignity. And at any formal gathering, I get lumpy in my throat, and can't speak. So I leave it to you," "That's a strange disease. Then you can't speak in the presence of other people? It would be awkward, I suppose," he said, and I told him not quite as much awkward as he might think. About then, the time for the farewell dinner party arrived, and I went to the hall with Porcupine. The dinner party was to be held at Kashin-tei which is said to be the leading restaurant in the town, but I had never been in the house before. This restaurant, I understood, was formerly the private residence of the chief retainer of the daimyo of the province, and its condition seemed to confirm the story. The residence of a chief retainer transformed into a restaurant was like making a saucepan out of warrior's armor. When we two came there, about all of the guests were present. They formed two or three groups in the spacious room of fifty mats. The alcove in this room, in harmony with its magnificence, was very large.</s>

Yet when it came to a disease like diabetes that kills Americans eight times more frequently than melanoma, I never once questioned the conventional wisdom. I actually just assumed the pathologic sequence of events was settled science. Three years later, I found out how wrong I was. But this time, I was the patient. Despite exercising three or four hours every single day, and following the food pyramid to the letter, I'd gained a lot of weight and developed something called metabolic syndrome. Some of you may have heard of this. I had become insulin-resistant. You can think of insulin as this master hormone that controls what our body does with the foods we eat, whether we burn it or store it. This is called fuel partitioning in the lingo. Now failure to produce enough insulin is incompatible with life. And insulin resistance, as its name suggests, is when your cells get increasingly resistant to the effect of insulin trying to do its job. Once you're insulin-resistant, you're on your way to getting diabetes, which is what happens when your pancreas can't keep up with the resistance and make enough insulin. Now your blood sugar levels start to rise, and an entire cascade of pathologic events sort of spirals out of control that can lead to heart disease, cancer, even Alzheimer's disease, and amputations, just like that woman a few years earlier. With that scare, I got busy changing my diet radically, adding and subtracting things most of you would find almost assuredly shocking. I did this and lost 40 pounds, weirdly while exercising less. I, as you can see, I guess I'm not overweight anymore. More importantly, I don't have insulin resistance. But most important, I was left with these three burning questions that wouldn't go away: How did this happen to me if I was supposedly doing everything right? If the conventional wisdom about nutrition had failed me, was it possible it was failing someone else? And underlying these questions, I became almost maniacally obsessed in trying to understand the real relationship between obesity and insulin resistance. Now, most researchers believe obesity is the cause of insulin resistance. Logically, then, if you want to treat insulin resistance, you get people to lose weight, right?</s>

Now this cosmic knowledge-based view may -- and I think ought to -- make us feel very special. But it should also make us feel vulnerable, because it means that without the specific knowledge that's needed to survive the ongoing challenges of the universe, we won't survive them. All it takes is for a supernova to go off a few light-years away, and we'll all be dead! Martin Rees has recently written a book about our vulnerability to all sorts of things, from astrophysics, to scientific experiments gone wrong, and most importantly, to terrorism with weapons of mass destruction. And he thinks that civilization has only a 50 percent chance of surviving this century. I think he's going to talk about that later in the conference. Now, I don't think that probability is the right category to discuss this issue in, but I do agree with him about this: We can survive and we can fail to survive. But it depends not on chance, but on whether we create the relevant knowledge in time. The danger is not at all unprecedented. Species go extinct all the time. Civilizations end. The overwhelming majority of all species and all civilizations that have ever existed are now history. And if we want to be the exception to that, then logically, our only hope is to make use of the one feature that distinguishes our species and civilization from all the others -- namely, our special relationship with the laws of physics, our ability to create new explanations, new knowledge -- to be a hub of existence. So let me now apply this to a current controversy, not because I want to advocate any particular solution, but just to illustrate the kind of thing I mean. And the controversy is global warming. Now, I'm a physicist, but I'm not the right kind of physicist. In regard to global warming, I'm just a layman. And the rational thing for a layman to do is to take seriously the prevailing scientific theory. And according to that theory, it's already too late to avoid a disaster, because if it's true that our best option at the moment is to prevent CO2 emissions with its constraints on economic activity and its enormous cost of hundreds of billions of dollars, or whatever it is, then that is already a disaster by any reasonable measure. And the actions that are advocated are not even purported to solve the problem, merely to postpone it by a little. So it's already too late to avoid it, and it probably has been too late to avoid it ever since before anyone realized the danger.</s>

Leo tilted her head to the side once and then nodded as if to say, ‘ah, that’s right.’ It was a mystery plant that could have been poisonous, so you shouldn’t eat such things, Leo. Thankfully, it had not been poisonous at all. “Well, it was also because of Leo that I found out the plant’s effect.” “What effect was it?” Sebastian leaned forward as he asked this. “In spite of it being night time, Leo became very energetic after eating the plant. She said that...it made her swell with power, as if it surpassed her limits and made her stronger. Right, Leo?” “Wuff.” I asked Leo and she nodded in reply. “Swell with power... So is it like the herbs you gave us in the forest that healed our tiredness?” “No, Lady Claire. If it makes your body stronger, then it surely does much more than heal your tiredness.” “Sebastian is right. Though, I haven’t tested it enough to be sure, but I believe that it enhances your physical abilities.” Since it made you stronger, Leo continued to play after that until she finally fell asleep. It had been quite a night... She was so restless and wanted to run around, and I had to stop her over and over again. Leo could not run around inside of the mansion, as she was so large and was bound to break things. “Physical ability...it must be quite amazing then.” “Yes, I do think that it could be very useful. I tested it myself and I was able to jump several times higher than I usually can. And things that normally feel heavy were light when I picked them up.” “That...is astonishing.” “So that’s why you were hopping and rolling around, Mr. Takumi.” Ms. Lyra had been watching me as I worked in the garden. Now that I thought of it, I must have looked quite a fool, jumping around like that at my age. “However, I haven’t tested it as much as I’d like, so there are still things that I don’t know.” “Like what? It seems that you know quite enough already.” “Well, like just how much it enhances your physical ability. The effect may vary from person to person. Perhaps it is more effective on certain types of people.” For instance, if a person’s physical ability was ‘’ and they ate the herb.</s>

You need to prepare a lot of things that even one week is too short for preparation time. While spending those busy days, finally the “Let’s not drag this out and go ahead with the introduction. I’m Welner von Zeavert.” “I am Mazell Hearthing. I am a student.” “I’m Luguentz Lazer, an adventurer.” “I’m Oliver Gekke. I work as a mercenary.” “I am Avant from the Bierstedt Company. I have been entrusted as the person in charge of the merchant corps.” “I’m Felix! You can call me Feli.” Three of us are the game’s important characters, while the other three are characters that never appeared in the game. It’s a strange combination. Most of the people here look confused by Feli’s existence in this meeting. The oldest here is Avant, though he’s still in his thirties. Two of us are students and there’s one -year-old kid. I’m glad none of them seem to be dissatisfied with the tea poured by one of the count’s maids, especially Feli. That guy keeps throwing sugars into his tea without any reserve. Doesn’t he know how expensive sugars are? “I am thankful for everyone’s willingness to gather here... is what I want to say, but since I’m sure everyone is busy, let’s just skip the pleasantries. No need to mind your manner either.” I said that, but I think the only person here who’s used to noble manners is Avant. Plus if I use noble manners in front of someone like Feli, I’m sure he will get sick of me and just go home. “First, Mazell and Luguentz. Please tell us about your experience in the ancient shrine when both of you went there last week.” “Ok.” While I was running here and there to prepare for the expedition of the merchant corps, I heard that Mazell and Luguentz went to the ancient shrine to train. Their training itself went without any problem, but Luguentz noticed a strange phenomenon, so they have been investigating it. “When Mazell and I were on our way to the shrine, I noticed that many unfamiliar demons had appeared.” Luguentz spoke first and after that Mazell added, “At first, I thought they are the remnants of the recent demon outbreak, but after some investigation, I found that none of the demons matched any demons I have fought in the outbreak.” “I have heard of a similar phenomenon from my fellow merchants. They said that they have recently witnessed many unfamiliar demons appear in the vicinity of the capital.” As expected, a merchant’s network is quite wide. Though both Feli and Gekke stayed silent while drinking their tea, their expressions are also serious. “It seems like the situation has become more troublesome than I expected. Avant-dono, Gekke, Feli. The journey of the merchant corps might be pretty dangerous, are the three of you fine with that?” Half of my words are lies. The situation is actually close to my expectation. Despite that, I still need to confirm their willingness. Gekke put down his teacup and gave me a simple answer, “Since it’s a job, it’s not a problem. I just need to be more vigilant in protecting the merchant corps.”</s>

We have to shift from this mainframe mentality of healthcare to a personal model of healthcare. We are obsessed with this way of thinking. When Intel does surveys all around the world and we say, "Quick response: healthcare." The first word that comes up is "doctor." The second that comes up is "hospital." And the third is "illness" or "sickness." Right? We are wired, in our imagination, to think about healthcare and healthcare innovation as something that goes into that place. Our entire health reform discussion right now, health I.T., when we talk with policy makers, equals "How are we going to get doctors using electronic medical records in the mainframe?" We're not thinking about how do we shift from the mainframe to the home. And the problem with this is the way we conceive healthcare. Right? This is a very reactive, crisis-driven system. We're doing 15-minute exams with patients. It's population-based. We collect a bunch of biological information in this artificial setting, and we fix them up, like Humpty-Dumpty all over again, and send them home, and hope -- we might hand them a brochure, maybe an interactive website -- that they do as asked and don't come back into the mainframe. And the problem is we can't afford it today, folks. We can't afford mainframe healthcare today to include the uninsured. And now we want to do a double-double of the age wave coming through? Business as usual in healthcare is broken and we've got to do something different. We've got to focus on the home. We've got to focus on a personal healthcare paradigm that moves care to the home. How do we be more proactive, How do we collect vital signs and other kinds of information 24 by 7? How do we get a personal baseline about what's going to work for you? How do we collect not just biological data but behavioral data, psychological data, relational data, in and on and around the home? And how do we drive compliance to be a customized care plan that uses all this great technology that's around us to change our behavior? That's what we need to do for our personal health model.</s>

It was not a weapon which could be made or reproduced by utilising another method. These Libra-lookalikes might have been made to be as close to the original as possible, however, the most important material used was different. Even if it was well created, it didn’t change the fact that they were merely imitation products... They were simply inferior and degraded products which were a long way from the original. “You idiots! Something like Libra without [Brachium] is, right, not even enough to deserve my pincers!” They were a slightly annoying bunch of enemies. However, they were not enemies Scorpius had to be scared of. Scorpius had not even the slightest cloud of doubt that she would come out victorious as she swung and thrust her sting much faster than the speed of sound – skewering one of the mass-produced Libra-type. “Not good, assist the Scales Squad!” Inside the command centre of Blutgang, they were feeling the never-before-felt uneasiness. Until now, there were countless attacks by the magical beasts. Nevertheless, Blutgang managed to overcome and repel them because they had the trump card called the Scales Squad. Four mass-produced golems, created using one of the pillars of the 12 Heavenly Stars, the [Scales] as the basis. Even without the Brachium installed and even though they had either one or the other of the Left or Right Scale, they were still the level 700 highest-classed golems. There was a sense of security in knowing everything would be fine if those girls were there. Yet right now, one of them had her body impaled without even being able to react. As a golem, this was not fatal on its own. In practice, the impaled mass-produced model continued to fight despite having a hole in the stomach area. Nevertheless, it was clear that the tides were shifting in the [Scorpion]’s direction. “We cannot, sir! If we fire carelessly, we will hit the mass-produced Libra-model!” “Shi... why, why are they getting overwhelmed... even if they’re mass-produced models, they’re level 700. And there’s four of them! Let alone a fair match, it wouldn’t be strange for us to be the one to overwhelm her instead!” Level-wise, this fight was definitely not disadvantageous for them. They had no way to know that [Scorpion] had surpassed her limits and had become level 900, nevertheless, she was not an enemy that they would not be able to overcome. But in actuality, they were being overwhelmed. The Scale Squad was being pushed back by the [Scorpion]’s fierce attacks. The reason for that was because of a match in the attributes. The Scale Squad... — or rather, golems’ attribute were fundamentally determined by the material they are constructed from. Additionally, as most of the strong golems are created out of metal, thus their attributes subsequently became Metal. On the other hand, [Scorpion]’s attribute was Fire. In the past, during the battle at Svalinn, the guardian deity Levia showed that it was possible to fight on equal footing against Aries, who outclassed itself, due to the elemental affinity advantage.</s>
