"Meme, are you there?　Did the earthquake hit you okay?"

"Well, well, well, my comrade. You've come a long way. Oh, my God. We lost some of our valuable materials in the sudden tremor.

"Oh, I see. There were some specimens in some kind of liquid. Glass containers are a problem in such cases. But I'm glad to hear that the meme's body is safe.

"It seems that I have worried my comrades. I'm glad we're both okay. So, what happened to you today?

"Yeah, I have a little favor to ask of Meme. Meme is the best person in Fontana with detailed information about the human anatomy. Actually, I'm going to make some new clothes. I need the information that memes have to make these clothes.

"Clothes making?　Not exactly medicine, is it? However, if we are talking about information about the human body, I would think that if you are going to make clothes, a craftsman of that kind should take measurements to get the information he needs. ......"

"Yes, normally I would, but this time I wanted to do something a little different. Instead of making clothes that fit each individual body, we want to make clothes that we make and that the buyer can choose to wear. What we need to know is what kind of body type people tend to have."

　I decided to return to Vulcania to meet with Dr. Meme, a doctor, in order to further promote my business.

　I explain ready-made clothes to Meme.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I want to make clothes that "can accommodate many people by providing several sizes of clothes," rather than custom-made clothes for each individual.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　For this purpose, it is necessary to measure the body sizes of many people.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Of course, it is desirable to take measurements of many people together with a dressmaker.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, there is someone who can save you the trouble.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was a doctor, a meme.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Since he came to Vulcania, he had been entrusted with two main tasks by me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　One was the study of anatomy.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He would dissect the deceased and compile the information into anatomical drawings of the human body.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The other was a clinical trial to study the efficacy of existing drugs.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In this study, the group is divided into several groups that are administered drugs to see whether the drugs are really effective or not.

　Now that Mihm has succeeded in putting together a book of anatomical drawings, he seems to be working exclusively on the clinical trials.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Mihm is also a very meticulous person.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She does not overlook even the smallest data and keeps the information she collects.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He had made sure that all the information on the autopsied specimens and the human bodies in the clinical trials were fully documented.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This information extended to the length of each body part.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　For example, the information was not limited to the height of the subject of the drug, but also included the length of each body part, such as the head, torso, arms, and legs.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When I saw this for the first time, I was appalled, and at the same time, I wondered why they went to such lengths.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I could understand the height of the body, but I did not think that the length of arms and legs would change the effect of the medicine.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But the answer that came back to me from the meme was very simple.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The reason was that measuring the size of a person's body takes only a moment.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Meme is not only a doctor, but also a member of the Reed family, named after Kyle.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This means that he can also use Kyle's magic called "automatic calculation".

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He used this automatic operation, which can finish any calculation in an instant, to measure the size of the body.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The method is simple.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　One of the walls in MIM's laboratory has a grid of lines on it to measure the height and width of the body.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The subject stands with his/her back against the wall that serves as the measuring instrument, and while looking at it, the mime chants the incantation [automatic calculation].

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then, wonder of wonders, the length of each body part can be measured in an instant based on the lines on the wall.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The information obtained can also be recorded on paper in an instant by using [telekinesis].

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As the meme says, measuring the size of a body can be done in a matter of seconds.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This has made the information that memes have a considerable number and a fairly accurate measure.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We will let the memes summarize this information further.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The memes do not study people of higher status, but ordinary people.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The memes are asked to calculate the most common volume zone, such as the height of the average person, and set it as the standard body shape.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The standard body size for each gender is assumed to be size M. The most common body size that is slimmer than the standard body size is size S, while the most common body size that is slightly obese is size L.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If we make a paper pattern based on the maximum common denominator of size M, which is based on the data collected from a large number of people, many people should be able to make clothes of a size that fits their bodies reasonably well.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Well, let's give this to a dressmaker and see what he/she can do.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The meme measurement method can measure the length of the body, but it is not suitable for measuring the circumference of the waist and so on.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There is still not enough information to actually make a garment from this data alone, but I will let the craftsmen make up for it.

"But, comrade! This information may eventually become outdated.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Outdated information?　What do you mean?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It's the same as it was. The size of a person's body changes depending on his or her state of development. A wealthy person who can afford to eat a lot will be overweight, and the opposite will be underweight. Naturally, the degree of growth will also change.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"That's right, of course."

"So, here in Barca, I feel that the younger generation is starting to get a little bit more stunted. Maybe it's because the food situation is better here than in other places, thanks to the magic of our comrades. I believe that eventually a taller generation will emerge.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I see. I see. Perhaps that's true. Well, but that's a little further down the road. If it's available now, that's fine, and if it's needed eventually, we can revise the standard body shape. Body measurements themselves can be easily done by any of the Reed's."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hmmm, yes, that's true. So, is this the end of the comrades' talk?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Uh, yeah. Well, it's enough for now that we have such detailed results of the physical measurements. I just need to take this back home and give it to the craftsmen so they can do their job properly. What do you want from me, Meme?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Ah, you have heard me well, my comrade. The truth is that while I was working on the big project of anatomical drawings, I had my eyes set on a new research project. And I was making slow but steady progress. And recently I have made some very interesting findings. I am convinced that this is a very interesting finding."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After I had finished talking about the paper pattern, Meme's excitement level suddenly changed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It seemed that he had been suppressing his emotions until I had finished my business.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He said he had found some interesting research results and wanted to talk to me about it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But when I heard the excited meme, I couldn't stop thinking about it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A meme of a mad doctor, a mad scientist, who had to abandon his home and his job to wander the country because he dissected a human body without permission in his hometown.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I decided that anatomy was a necessary study, so I accepted the meme and gave him a job in Barca, but I wondered if I had done the right thing.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Meme had already started a new research project without informing me and had already found a certain result.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And that research was, without a doubt, human experimentation using a living human body.
