Chapter 263 – 17.1 Is It Finally Bearing Fruit?
A month has passed since Chairman Mizuki died.
The chairperson position is still vacant. The academy principal has not been there since last year, and even the chairperson’s seat was vacant, but the academy was still running. It must be because the student president and the student council executives worked hard.
Chairman Mizuki worked enthusiastically. As if working to forget painful things.
The public sentiment of the students was already controlled by the chairman, and the chairman skillfully performed even the external affairs that the chairman should have done originally. Even if he had a shortcoming, he would not have reacted harshly to ‘a wonderful daughter working for her dead mother’. That father is also the terrifying next prime minister, Mizuki Ichiro.
And I also often visited the student president’s office to comfort the struggling president.
“Don’t come because it will interfere with the president’s work.”
Shino Shino calmly said that, but he also thinks working too hard is not good. If people don’t rest, they’ll get a puncture.
As a tranquilizer for the president, I went in and out of the president’s office whenever I had a chance.
“Chairman. What color are your panties today?”
“Knives!”
“I wore purple today. It’s the color my deceased mother liked when she was alive.”
“Until the president?!”
“Oh, where are you?”
The chairman has improved so much that we can have a conversation like this.
At first, it was hard as if the world had collapsed. It was fortunate that the president got his smile back.
“Thank you, Knives.”
“What? For asking what color your panties are?”
“Yes. Because Knives always made me laugh.”
“Hoo. Then, if you’re not rude, just one pair of panties.”
“Do it in moderation!”
Including Shinoshino’s tackle, this casual conversation must have had a positive effect on the president.
In other words, even when I asked to see my panties, everything was for the president.
“How is Shinoshino? What color are your panties today?”
“Kuh… This child… !”
“Aren’t you curious about the president? What color are Shinoshino’s panties?”
“Is it so. Panty color is important. Because it can influence the condition of the day.”
“Ha…”
The reason why we can have such a peaceful conversation is probably thanks to all the troublesome things being resolved.
The death of Ryoko Mizuki, the president of Rune Academy and the wife of the ruling party leader.
Officially, her cause of death was announced as a sudden worsening of a chronic illness. It is said that the disease acquired during the great disaster 10 years ago suddenly worsened when she was shocked by the terrorist attack of her husband, Ichiro Mizuki.
Basically, the rune abilities of individual rune holders are not only protected as personal information, but also treated as military secrets. They might know each other, but they rarely spread the word.
Chairman Mizuki’s runes were particularly secretive. In addition to the status of the chairman himself, the rune’s speciality was also unknown. Even the few people who knew the circumstances kept their mouths shut, so there was no controversial incident as the reason for the death of the chairman.
“How are you today, President?”
President Ichiro Mizuki lived like a dead person for a while after the death of the chairman.
However, he changed after his wife’s funeral. He began to play an active role, dragging a wheelchair for cheating like a fighter jet.
“Father is still full of energy. It’s too overflowing, so I’m going to get rid of it.”
The image of a young and cool-headed politician was now moving with enthusiasm like an erupting active volcano.
More than 100 people involved in the terror have already been arrested. It included not only the leaders and activists of giant corporations, but also the party’s big-time politicians, such as the president.
The biggest victim of the incident, Mizuki Ichiro, openly pressured the investigative agency and led the way to beat up his collaborators. They are, so to speak, enemies of the wife. Mizuki Ichiro was unforgiving, as if he was trying to avenge his wife’s grudge.
I was sometimes called in during the investigation process. After guiding the suspect who doesn’t open his mouth, I use my rune to read the information in his head and provide a decisive hint.
Of course, such hints are information obtained through unofficial routes, so they are not directly accepted as evidence. It uses that information to dig up new information.
“Anyway, Korea was behind the terror.”
“It’s not Korea, it’s a Korean pseudo-religion.”
“Anyway.”
When something bad happens in Japan, people often say, “Korea is behind it” As a joke.
But this time it didn’t end with a joke. Circumstances have been revealed that the anti-Lune Holder extremist group, which can be said to have been instigated this terror, received a large amount of funds from a large pseudo-religion in Korea.
The people who ate the money were widely spread not only in the group but also throughout Japanese society. Members of the National Assembly, corporations, civil servants, the Self-Defense Forces, police, prosecutors, etc.
The conspiracy theory that “Korea is ruling Japan behind the scenes” Was no longer just a conspiracy.
“To think that you have been manipulating behind the scenes to undermine Japan’s national power! I can’t forgive you!”
“Um…”
It was a really embarrassing story for me, who has a special sorrow in Korea.
To think that Korea was manipulating the rune holders from behind the scenes in order to lower Japan’s national power. How can you believe such an absurd story?
However, the circumstances that have been revealed so far have been saying so.
Korea’s Iltogyo is a pseudo-religious organization that denies rune holders and recognizes only ordinary people as authentic human beings. They claim to ‘annihilate rune holders’, claiming that rune towers and monsters emerge and threaten humanity due to the existence of rune holders.
Of course, such an argument usually doesn’t work. In South Korea, the country of origin, they are already treated as fakes and are said to be unable to openly promote themselves.
However, for some reason, in Japan, it was secretly active and its power was enormously called. Now the roots had spread so widely that I couldn’t even dare to pull them out.
“Unitarianism. Great.”
If modern Japan’s hatred of rune holders is really due to a single religious group in Korea, it could be said to be an achievement worthy of admiration. Because he dragged a country to the brink of overthrowing it.
“Nothing is great! I can’t forgive you!”
Chairman Mizuki got excited and got angry.
To the chairman, it is the same organization as his mother’s enemies. It’s natural to hate it.
“Isn’t that a good thing politically, though? Thanks to that, the approval rating reached an all-time high.”
“As a result, yes.”
In order to weaken Japan’s national power, Korea has been manipulating behind the scenes to discriminate against rune holders.
When this fact became known, the Japanese people were outraged. There could be no better story for political agitation.
“Thanks to that, the special harem law was passed with a snap.”
“It’s a special law for training rune holders.”
“Whatever.”
The special harem law, which was talked about and ridiculed. No, the special law for training rune holders.
However, with this incident, the voices opposing the bill have completely disappeared. This is because the moment they oppose them, they become ‘traitors’ who sell out their country for money from Korea.
Of course, the opposition has not completely disappeared. It’s just hiding under the surface of the water to avoid the storm. After the storm passes, it will reappear.
But now there were no obstacles. Everything was a breeze.
“Thanks to that, my father’s approval rating has also gone up. Isn’t it good?”
And President Mizuki, who pushed for the law despite strong opposition, was praised like a patriotic fighter.
While everyone was plotting to weaken the Rune Holder by receiving money from Korea, only President Mizuki had been steadfastly supporting the Rune Holder. He was truly a hero who defended Japan.
“A subject that has been slandered by everyone.”
But the president doesn’t seem very happy.
This is because those who praise Ichiro Mizuki now are also those who swear at him in the past.
They changed their stance like flipping the palm of their hand after the Iltogyo Gate exploded. And they acted as if they had supported Ichiro Mizuki and Rune Holder from the beginning. Even the president couldn’t help but be amazed.
“But thanks to you, Mother’s limit will be relieved.”
Ryoko Mizuki, who has been pushing the rune holder support policy in the shadow of Ichiro Mizuki.
Her dream of eliminating discrimination against rune holders could not be fulfilled in her lifetime, but just as her flower bears fruit only after she dies, her will finally bears fruit after she dies. Was trying
“Mother… Are you happy?”
Remembering her late mother, the president had tears in her eyes.
“Of course. She must be proudly watching Kyoko’s performance even now.”
“Black… !”
At the thought of her mother, she embraces and reads the chairman, who is filled with emotions.
“Shall we show you how much we love you? So that your mother can be at ease.”
“… I don’t know.”
Seeing that you didn’t say no, you’ll be fine.
I think I can do it after I calm down a bit. Hehe.
“Nives…”
Shinoshino looked at me as if she was pathetic.
I’ll hug you too, so I’m waiting for you.
