Saiga glanced over the starter kit details. “We can’t help a product launch right now. I’ll see if I can kick the whole thing over to Amikari. We have our hands full with the safe area.”

Konaho Amikari was the Commercial Affairs Section chief. Executive director Makabe had been impressed with his sales background and appointed him directly to the role. There was a rumor that the characters in his name were better read by their alternate pronunciation—Moukari Masse—meaning “raking it in.”

“Right,” Miharu responded. “Speaking of the safe area, someone had better set Primary Sales straight regarding our section’s workload.”

“Of course...” Saiga sighed, setting aside the materials he’d have to bring to Amikari. “There’s no rule that says we have to grant land to sponsor companies.” If anything, the sponsorship and land grant systems should remain completely separate. Sponsor company applications had been running since long before the safe area was discovered—it wasn’t fair to tack on extra benefits now. “But... Sales seems to want to imply that being a sponsor company guarantees preferential treatment. And right or wrong, if that’s their decision, I can’t exactly overrule them.”

Ordinarily, Sales would perform its work and leave adjacent sections to do theirs. If there were any practical issues, Sales would simply liaise with the client. But in this case, their tack was placing an undue burden on the Dungeon Management Section.

“What if we just designated overall districts and had all companies bid for spots?” Miharu suggested.

“Hmmm...” Saiga shifted uncomfortably.

“Sales seems to want to just ask the clients’ wishes and throw all the planning over to us. We have to come up with some sort of policy or our staff is going to keel over.”

It was easier to put in the work to come up with a policy now than to let the burden of case-by-case decision-making grind down staff morale. They couldn’t afford to make empty promises or simply say they didn’t know. They needed some sort of firm stance to fall back on.

“Got it,” Saiga said after a moment. “Call Sakai in.”

Miharu nodded and stood up.

***

Noritake Sakai, assistant manager of the Dungeon Management Section, had spent the past several days on dispatch to the University Entrance Examination Committee as the Dungeon Management Section representative. His main task had been coordinating procurement of the D-Card verifiers.

Now the National Center tests were over, but there was still the return of the verifiers to deal with, plus the safe area response on top of that. And now—

Apparently he’d received a direct summons from the Dungeon Management Section chief, who had just been talking to Miharu Naruse. If the conversation awaiting Sakai had something to do with D-Powers, he figured it might be about that mysterious clause in the verifiers’ lease contract about “endeavoring” to stop leaks. But the JDA hadn’t even finished checking the returned verifiers, so it wasn’t likely to be a problem along those lines.

“You called?”

Sakai poked his head into the section chief’s office. What awaited him was a very different conversation from what he’d imagined.
