Tanaka, now in his 60s, is not happy with the current situation.
Income improved when an energy sales booth opened in Fukuoka, but in the aftermath, Tanaka instinctively felt reluctance that skeletons might be introduced.
In particular, in the case of Tanaka, he even had antipathy towards Korea, and the rejection was even more severe.
“What does it make sense to treat such corpses? Tsk tsk.”
Tanaka said with a frown.
“And what? Seron Continent? Young guys these days are crazy about it again? Anyway, things these days.”
Of course, Tanaka also enjoyed playing games when he was young, so he still has nostalgia for RPGs, but the feeling of rejection is also a feeling of rejection, and above all, he couldn’t even think of enjoying it because his body didn’t follow him. .
“Chairman Ji-hyeok Han is a good person, but anyway, the skeleton and the ceron are all Korean, right? If you are Japanese, you should use Japanese things and use Japanese people. What if all the jobs were taken away by the skeletons? Eh.”
Tanaka turns on the TV, lamenting the current situation where only sighs come out like that.
Then an ad plays on TV.
– We invite you to the fantasy parade held on the Seron continent!
Tanaka said while frowning at the Seron Continent advertisement.
“Are you going to have a parade with skeletons? The world is going well.”
when I was trying to ignore it.
In the Seron Continental advertisement, silhouettes of something are slightly reflected.
“···uh?”
And the silhouettes began to engage in a fierce duel.
It’s just a silhouette covered in black, but Tanaka knew better than anyone else what it meant.
“Go… chatting?!”
It is the silhouette of the main character’s aircraft and rival aircraft in the giant robot animation that Tanaka was enthusiastic about when he was young.
“It’s a joke, right? confabulation?”
At that time, the last logo that convinces Tanaka’s thoughts comes to mind.
The logo of the producer Gandam came to mind along with the Seron logo.
Tanaka jumped up from his seat and said.
“Go, that’s right! Then you’re doing a chat parade?! As a skeleton!”
In the meantime, there have been steady attempts to create a giant gandam.
However, it is literally an ornamental level that only increases the size and enables simple movements.
But what if we had a parade decorated with skeletons that could battle monsters?
Tanaka’s pupils shake violently.
“Sir, is it possible that the size is also reproduced? That talk?”
miss you.
I miss you so much.
An opportunity to see the real face of Gandam, which has been drawn only in dreams.
Even though he has grown old, the passion he had as a child was still embedded deep in Tanaka’s heart.
But the logo of Seron bothers me.
“…After all, it’s just a shell, and it’s a skeleton. Seron is a Korean company. Japanese people… should use Japanese things… But since Kandam is Japanese, wouldn’t it be okay?”
The rejection of Korea and skeletons is still the same.
However, it is too much to just pass by, even though the harmony between the sword and the skeleton is desirable.
Tanaka said while pacing the room.
“go? don’t you? Ahh! What should I do!”
*
Eventually, on the day of the parade, Tanaka came to Seron continent with his family.
At that time, Tanaka’s son said while holding his granddaughter.
“Father, are you okay?”
“what.”
“My family kept wanting to come, but my father hates Korea and skeletons.”
“Because…you can’t unconditionally refuse just because you don’t like it.”
The son said with a surprised look at Tanaka’s words, which were different from usual, but very different.
“Are you serious?”
“shut up!”
Tanaka waved his hand and said.
“Go and draw that other world or something. Is that safe?”
“yes. There is also a family mode, so you can go in with your child.”
“Then I’ll be outside, so come out and play.”
“yes? What are you going to do outside… Ah!”
The son said with an apologetic expression.
“Come to think of it, today was the first parade day, right? Father, I can’t believe you came to see that…”
“Oh, it’s so noisy! Hurry in!”
The son who eventually took his family into the dome due to Tanaka’s reaction.
Tanaka, who was left alone, looked around the plaza and said.
“Is this what you do here?”
Crowds gathered in all directions around the center of the plaza, where entry was prohibited.
There were young people among them, but the number of middle-aged people like Tanaka was by no means small.
“I hope you implement it well… sh*t. The day will come when I will support a Korean company like Seron.”
That’s when I waited while checking the start time of the parade.
“uh!?”
One person pointed to the sky and said.
“I-I can’t believe that!”
At those words, Tanaka looked up at the sky and opened his mouth wide.
“White talk!”
White gundam flying towards us from the sky.
“You even realized flying in the sky!?”
While Tanaka and other people are astonished at the appearance, the white gundam flies through the sky and lands in an off-limits area with a thump.
And the white chatter that slowly raises the body.
Seeing the 18-meter-tall giant robot not only move naturally, but also fly up into the sky, Tanaka felt tears welling up without his knowledge.
“My, I never thought I would see something like this in real life.”
That time when I was so moved that I didn’t know what to do.
“Papa, it’s red!”
This time, a red robot flies towards us from the other side of the sky.
Seeing that, Tanaka exclaimed.
“Red!”
The main character’s rival, a giant robot whose trademark is red, appears.
At that time, White Gundam flew up into the sky again and took out a gun and fired it at the red robot, and a beam like a laser beam spread out.
However, a red robot evading such a beam at great speed.
Tanaka clenched his fists and said.
“As expected, red is three times faster!”
And the confrontation between the two robots started at that moment.
Then, a voice came out of the red robot that had begun to be pushed slightly.
-This is the Federation’s Mobilussuits?!
At those words, Tanaka, a gundam maniac, immediately noticed.
“The scene of the first confrontation in episode 2 of White Gundam! That was the parade this time!”
Tanaka finally cried out in tears.
“Ahh! The best! This is a real joke!”
*
The successful settlement of the giant robot parade using skeletons made the Japanese cheer.
Thanks to this, Japanese tourists flocked to Fukuoka’s Seron Continent from all over the country.
Of course, all of this is thanks to the active cooperation of the Gandam production company, but Baek Sang-ho and other researchers at the research center also played the most key role.
“If we do a little more like this here…”
“no! My Z Gundam is not like this!”
For researchers who originally had otaku temperaments, this parade was nothing short of a golden opportunity to realize their romance.
Of course, he mobilized all his talents and skills to reproduce the splendid battle scene in reality, and as a result, the Japanese people are enthusiastic.
And the most active person among them is, of course, Baek Sang-ho, the head of the center.
Baek Sang-ho said while watching the chat animation with bloodshot eyes.
“You can’t lose in the cosmic century. When is the cosmic century! Now, the trend is new stories! I’ll show you, that new stories are on a different level from relics of the old era!”
Baek Sang-ho pounding on the console while making incomprehensible sounds about the universe century and new stories.
I approached Baek Sang-ho and said.
“Center manager?”
But regardless of my words, Baek Sang-ho continues to mumble something.
“First of all, if you want to realize a large-scale war by adjusting the specs of main characters and low-end objects…”
Seeing Baek Sang-ho seem completely out of his mind, I knock on the desk with a smile.
“Center Director!”
Then Baek Sang-ho, who noticed my presence, jumped up from his seat and said,
“Hey, Chairman! When did you come!?”
“Just now.”
I glanced at the animation and said.
“Are you going well?”
“of course! Since I joined Seron, I have been doing my best at work!”
At that time, Baek Sang-ho said with a sorry expression.
“ah! But that doesn’t mean that I usually do things loosely…”
I waved my hand and interrupted Baek Sang-ho.
“I know, I know. Are you saying there’s no problem anyway?”
“of course. About 300 parade lists have already been conceived!”
Once made, it can be recalled at any time, so when the parade types pile up later, I used to think generously that it would be randomized by time period, but to think that about 300 of them have already been selected.
“It will take a lot of time to implement all 300 of them.”
“I will definitely make it even if I spend less time sleeping!”
Is this what you call a virtue match?
A dream job where you can work and do good.
I do it because I enjoy it, so there is no need to stop it.
I said with a smile.
“do your best.”
“Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity!”
“By the way, now that people’s reactions are heating up, I’m thinking of making skeleton rides in earnest. Is that going well?”
Baek Sang-ho said with a confident expression.
“You can make it right now! There are quite a few amusement park fanatics at our center… no, there are quite a few maniacs, so it wasn’t too difficult!”
It seems like all the Korean fans are gathered in the center?
anyway.
“Please organize it well, because sooner or later we have to go to Seron Continent and make rides.”
“All right! ah. By the way, Chairman.”
Baek Sang-ho looked at me and said.
“Do you have any plans to make the Seron Continent in Korea?”
“korea?”
“yes. This is because robot enthusiasts are well distributed in Korea as well as in Japan. The same goes for rides and RPGs.”
but.
It is true that Korea and Japan are anxious to eat each other, but there are many similarities in social structures and in many ways.

Many of the visitors to the Fukuoka Seron Continent are Korean tourists from Korea, so even if you make it in Korea, it will be a hit soon.
“After testing in Japan, we will make up for all the shortcomings and make it in Korea.”
Then Baek Sang-ho smiled brightly and said.
“Is that so?”
“yes. In addition, I plan to make it a global brand by making it not only in Korea but all over the world.”
Like Mouse Land, they create theme parks all over the world to earn money and reduce their resistance to skeletons.
Seron Continent is the RPG version of the haunted house, and the official name of the theme park that combines Seron Continent and various rides and parades is Seron Land.
“Seron Land fulfills the romance of everyone in the world. Aren’t you excited just to hear it?”
At my words, Baek Sang-ho clenched his fists and said,
“To realize that quickly, our research must be finished quickly.”
“Exactly.”
“I’m going to get down to business right now! Just leave it to me!”
*
The creators were excited and the visitors were happy, so Ceron Land was completed at a rapid pace.
“Wowaaa!”
As the giant skeleton grabs the basket of bones and lifts it up and slowly swings it, the people inside scream joyfully.
I looked at it and smiled and said.
“okay. This is it.”
Using the characteristics of the skeleton, researchers devise play equipment, and I create the play equipment on the spot.
Then, if people’s response is good, it is officially registered as a Seron Land ride after a little reinforcement, and if the reaction is not good, it is dismantled right away.
Even bringing in a single ride was a way that other theme parks, which require careful consideration, would not even dare to dare.
Thanks to that, each and every one of the rides in Seron Land was unique enough that nothing was missing.
Seron Land is filled with rides that can only be experienced here, from riding a basket wielded by a giant skeleton, to directing a skeleton into a confrontation, and more.
Of course, these rides were not welcome from the beginning.
There is still a reluctance to the skeleton, and most of all, many people are concerned about safety because the play equipment is made of bones that are completely different from the existing materials.
However, thanks to the parade and the Seron continent, the resistance is gradually diluted, and now people ride the skeleton rides without hesitation.
In this way, Seron Land was gradually evolving into a theme park.
“I’ll have to pay more attention to the placement next time.”
Anyway, after making the theme park myself, I can see the parts that need fixing.
It was not planned and made from scratch, but it was increased little by little on the spot, so the circulation was inefficient and the arrangement was inevitably outdated.
Skeleton play equipment can be changed at any time, but it is not common to move toilets and other facilities once placed.
“Next time, place the square near the entrance first, and then distribute the rides like this…”
That’s when I was thinking about placement.
The secretary who was accompanying me spoke on the phone and said with a firm expression.
“President.”
“Is there a problem?”
“The Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications is investigating the safety of the rides in Seron Land.”
*
I hurriedly moved to the Sheron Land office and spoke to the secretary.
“What do you mean by sudden safety issues? Everything was made according to the rules.”
They make it on the spot, but that doesn’t mean they made it by breaking the rules.
From nob le mtl dot com
My skeleton rides are made by meeting all the standards set by the Japanese government, such as the load that the structure supporting the rides can withstand, the tension, and so on.
Of course, immediately after making it, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications received all of the safety conformity inspections, but suddenly safety inspections?
He said, showing the Japanese play equipment safety regulations translated by the secretary.
“Our rides are made in compliance with all regulations. It also passed the safety fit test. However, this provision is problematic.”
The regulation pointed out by the secretary was the regulation on the strength of the play equipment.
“What kind of small grain is that? I followed this rule and adjusted the load, pressure and everything else.”
“No, look at the first part of the rules.”
“The front part?”
That’s how I started reading the first part of the regulations.
“Irrespective of the material type of metal, wood, or plastic, it can withstand an appropriate load according to the number of people using it… huh?”
no way.
“Metal, wood, plastic. Are you talking about this?”
“yes.”
The secretary said with a troubled expression.
“There was a report to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, but according to this regulation, there are no bones in the material of play equipment…”
“This crazy.”
I said with a puzzled expression.
“This is just an example, yes. An example of getting the right weight no matter what material you use!”
“you’re right. The problem is that there are no bones in this example.”
“I even received a confirmation from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications that there was no problem?”
“Even the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications gave permission because this was just an example and there was no rule against using bones.
A report has come in to the state agency, but since the report cannot be ignored, they say that they should at least pretend to investigate.
The problem is that the rides will not be able to operate during the investigation period.
All of the skeleton rides made of bones.
“What is the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications doing?”
“I told them not to worry too much, saying that they would investigate as quickly as possible and that it would probably go through without any major problems. According to this interpretation, it is ambiguous to see it as completely legal, but it is not illegal either.”
For once, I’m glad
But this is not a fundamental solution.
It’s not illegal, but if someone stumbles on this provision again and reports it, the state agency has no choice but to move again.
“It’s ridiculous.”
To make a tackle with a provision that I just gave as an example.
“Who is the reporter?”
“…I can’t tell you because it’s personal information, but it’s not just one or two people.”
A group report from people who still have aversion to skeletons.
If so, even if the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications goes over well, the same thing will happen again in the end.
“It comes out like this, right? The problem now is that the standard for judging whether this is legal or illegal is not clear, right?”
“you’re right.”
“Then it is simple. We can make this legal.”
It is very difficult to modify already established provisions.
But adding a few words to it is no task for someone with my powers.
“Who is the member of the House of Representatives from Fukuoka?”
“There is member Nigishi.”
“Call me and ask to see me.”
I said with a grin.
“I have something to say about the future of Fukuoka, a tourist city.”
