It looks like.

Ryutaro Hashimoto and Yasushi Mieno are a bit serious.

He bowed at 90 degrees, clearly indicating his approval and appreciation for what Nagano Nao had just said.

The fact that these two seemingly harmonious but estranged fellows suddenly came together was a subtlety in itself.

Bow +1.

"You two are really too kind. Shouldn't every citizen of the Yamato nation have such feelings and ideals?"

"That's what you said, but people are born in comfort and die in sorrow. The spirit of responsibility and worry that you have, Nagano-kun, made my blood boil just now!"

Ryutaro Hashimoto looked pleased, with silent admiration on his stern face.

Being praised by the Minister of Finance would make any young person with a sense of justice feel elated and his blood boil.

Just as a fake devil.

Nagano Nao's first reaction was that this bastard Hashimoto was setting a trap for him.

Na, na, na! Nagano-kun, since you have the responsibility and concern, as a blessing for the nation, you should stop hiding here and being a bastard! At the same time.

Oko Kaibu took the Shinkansen and leaned against the car in a daze.

"Ms. Kaifu, there is an invisible crisis engulfing this country."

"Looking at the recent news, it's like the end of the dynasty, with vicious incidents everywhere."

"The Kizu Credit Union, the violent incident at the Maple Bridge Moonlight Hot Pot restaurant, the Ito Man incident, the Onoue incident, but these incidents suddenly broke out. With your intelligence, Miss Kaibu, you must have noticed something unusual a long time ago!"

'The truth of the matter lies behind the economy and finance. Those bastards, for their own selfish desires, colluded with Wall Street, destroyed the existing economic order, and pushed this country into hell.'

"And they did this to let the public know, in the face of established reality, that the cabinet led by Lord Kaibu is unqualified."

'Unemployment, layoffs, stock market crashes, asset shrinkage, and even the loss of housing security will make defaults inevitable.'

'Countless families will be hurt by this, and this is all the result of those bastards in Nagano taking power, hoping to force the Minister of the Navy to resign.'

"For the sake of this country and justice, please, Ms. Kaibu, make sure these bastards are punished!"

'.'

The words that Masahiro Ito and Miyazawa Honda from the Insurance Department said in the past lingered in my ears.

In the following period, for the sake of this country and the lights of thousands of homes, as a staff member of the Economic Research Section and an investigator of the Special Investigation Department, it was my natural mission and duty to make the traitors who destroyed this country receive the punishment they deserved.

That’s right!

The world is dark!

Power and money corrupt this country, but it is darkness that brings light.

There must always be a belief that you need to stick to!

But now.

The question of what a country is, which was originally a very definite question, has somehow begun to become vague and even uncertain.

"Yamaichi-kun! I'm sorry, let's break up!!"

"Ah! Mieko, stop joking like that. How can you bring up breaking up so casually?!"

"I'm not kidding! But Shan Yijun, you have to know that I'm already thirty years old, but I really can't see the future now."

The carriage was not far away.

A young couple who looked like a couple suddenly started arguing.

The boy had a look of surprise on his face, while the girl was crying as she spoke.

"Is it about the house? Don't worry, Mieko. The section chief promised me a raise next month, and housing prices have dropped a lot recently. We will definitely have a home."

"Raise your salary! You've said it so many times. But even if the housing prices in Tokyo drop a little, how can we continue to live with your income and mortgage?"

"I'm sorry, Mieko! I'll try harder!"

"Shanyi-kun, please stop being naive. If hard work had worked, would we have come to this point?"

“.”

Adults often collapse in an instant.

The car arrived at the station.

The girl ran away crying.

The boy stood there and watched the girl leave, tears flashing in his painful eyes. Suddenly, he sat down on the ground and burst into tears like a stray dog ​​abandoned by its owner.

Awakened by this scene, Kaibe Oko's eyes became even more confused.

Is it so important just because it’s a residence?

But it can be seen that the girl was also in pain when she said she wanted to break up. Why would she give up her precious feelings for a house when she was in so much pain? ! Very quickly.

The car arrived in Aichi Prefecture and then came to Nagoya.

Because it is time to get off work, the city lights are lit up and there are colorful lights everywhere.

This is Sakae-machi Station, which is also a famous bustling street in Nagoya City.

Together with Shinjuku in Tokyo, Susukino in Sapporo, Nakashu in Fukuoka, and Minami in Osaka, it is known as the "Five Great Joy Streets".

The so-called "Happy Street" can be understood as an area for seeking pleasure and having fun.

Such areas include traditional geishas, ​​hostess bars, dating bars and other "sell art but not body" businesses, as well as service industries such as Turkish baths, body massage, and pink salons.

Urban white-collar workers in suits and ties merge with cars on the road like a torrent.

Under the colorful lights, countless young and beautiful girls dressed fashionably are greeting the middle-aged men coming and going.

Oko Kaibe has always had a deep disgust for women who do these jobs.

It’s just that the law prohibiting prostitution has always been in force, but such occasions still exist.

No one is born to like doing such shameful things, and no parent would want their daughter to engage in prostitution when she grows up.

Why, despite the prostitution law, do so many women still do such shameful things?

The phone suddenly rang.

After the call was connected, an anxious voice came from the other end: "Xuzi! You're back, can I ask you for a favor?!"

"Mariko, you're not going to ask me out for a drink again! I'm not in a good mood right now, if you are, just go and have a drink!"

"No! I'm pregnant and I want you to accompany me to have an abortion."

"Nani? How can you do such a thing?! Haven't you wanted to be a mother for a long time?"

"That's true, but you know Mr. Fujikawa's situation. We can only live in a bachelor apartment now. We can't let the child live in that kind of place after he is born!"

"Does Fujikawa-kun know about this?"

"I'm ready to break up with him, so."

"Where are you now?"

"Right in front of the hospital!"

“.”

I never thought that my best friend would encounter such a thing.

The words I had prepared couldn't be uttered when I saw my friend crying and trembling as she talked about the hardships of life.

Fujikawa works as an employee in a small or medium-sized enterprise, and his income is only slightly better than that of a civil servant, so he has only been able to live in a single apartment and dares not make a commitment to marriage.

"Even if this is the case, you can't break up. After all, you have been together for more than ten years. It would be a shame if you broke up!"

"I don't want to do such a thing, but Oko, you know I'm already 28 years old. I really don't see any hope in living this way. I can't let my child go to public school and live with me in a bachelor apartment! Isn't that kind of life too cruel!"

Seeing her friend in pain, Kaibe Oko thought for a moment and said, "If it's just a housing problem, I can help you!"

"How can you help me? Can you find me a job so I can work with Fujikawa-kun? But it's been more than five months now. Even if I go to work, it will take me many years to buy a house with my salary income!"

"Well, I'll find a way!"

“.”

No matter what.

The arrival of the Minister of Finance and the President of the Bank of Japan together meant that he was doomed to be unable to stay in the detention center.

He followed Ryutaro Hashimoto and Yasushi Mieno out of the detention center obediently.

Ryutaro Hashimoto's hair is always neatly fixed with hairspray. He is only 1.6 meters tall and looks very short, but he always keeps his back straight and maintains the upright spirit of martial arts.

Yasushi Mieno is a little older, with short hair that is only an inch long. He is not very tall, but he is sturdy. When standing next to Hashimoto, he looks very big!

What a weird back of the head! If I hit them all from behind at this moment, what will the future be like?! With the gun left behind by Kaibe Oko, Nagano Nao had a strange idea in his mind.

The seemingly harmonious but actually estranged relationship between the central bank and the Ministry of Finance has run through Japan's post-war history. Now that these two apparently rivals are coming together, it would be better to let them end up in the same place.

The two big men walking in front were obviously unaware that someone was targeting them from behind.

Mieno Yasushi adjusted his glasses and said with emotion: "Hashimoto-kun, have you noticed that those diversified stores that small Tokyo is proud of are gradually disappearing, and only large chain stores are replacing them to tell the story of rural ion accumulation."

"So these days I've been thinking, should carnivores eliminate herbivores and other small fish?" Hashimoto Ryutaro said slowly, and his tit-for-tat intention was very obvious.

"Isn't it that the right answer for herbivores is to choose a job that is more suitable for their height?"

"If the unemployed overflow and crime rates increase, stealing crops that's cute."

“If everyone is not living well and committing crimes when they don’t suck the sweet juice, it is just a cancer cell of society.”

“.”

The discrepancy between Tao and reason was clearly exposed in the conversation between the two.

From a bystander's perspective, neither side is wrong.

And these guys are clearly fighting for various reasons, but they act like they are all righteous and moral, which is really a bit too hypocritical.

But the most interesting thing is that no matter what the reason for the fight is, the final result is very interesting.

Ring ring ring.

The sudden ringing of the phone interrupted the conversation between the two people in front.

Being stared at by two pairs of eyes from important people, Nagano Nao showed an innocent look: "Sorry! I have to answer the phone!"

"Please feel free to do as you please, Nagano-kun. I came here only because I felt sad when I heard about your frame-up at the Mita-kai gathering. Now that the matter has been resolved, I will take my leave now."

"Take care, Master Hashimoto."

"Aozora Bank will handle the issue with the Kizu United Company. I have a meeting to attend later, so I won't bother you anymore."

"Ah, then Master Sanzhong, please walk slowly and be sure to pay attention to safety."

The two special cars disappeared.

Looking at the taillights of the car, Naoto Nagano looked around.

Damn it!

Why is there no one to pick me up when I come out! Using this method to kick me out is really too much! The Minister of Finance and the President of the Bank of Japan, are they so great? ! "Hey!"

Answer the phone.

A familiar voice came from the other side: "It's me!"

"Ms. Kaibe?!"

"In my previous investigation, I found that the Mujin Credit Union and the Housing Financial Institution have a close relationship, and the reason why depositors' short payment occurred is that the assets of the Mujin Credit Union have become residential non-performing assets, right?"

This woman is really hopeless!

So many people have died, and you still want to continue investigating? ! "Ms. Kaibu, you asked this question. You don't think you can use this thing to pin the blame on me, do you? I think by now you should understand who is pushing this country into hell."

"That's not what I meant. Because... Because I wanted to ask, when dealing with those bad residential assets, they should be very discounted, right?"

"What?"

"I'm going to the detention center to find you now. You'll understand when you get there."

“.”

A busy tone sounded.

Nagano Nao held the phone in his hand for a long time, then looked back at the gate of Kobe Detention Center.

I just got kicked out, do I have to run back in by myself? ?

Are you sick? "Oh, man, I forgot to take my things. Can I go in again?"

"Of course, no problem. If it's not something very important and it's time for a shift change, you can ask him to bring it over for Nagano-kun."

"It's not something very important, but it's so hot today and no one is picking me up, so I want to take a shower while I'm at it."

What kind of lame excuse is this?

The guard looked surprised but still said, "I see. Then please do as you please, Nagano-kun!"

"Thank you so much. Let's have a drink together sometime."

Nagano straight men are very happy.

Back to the detention center.

The two guards looked at each other, both confused.

"These big shots are really strange."

“Maybe I like this place!”

"He brought his secretary with him, maybe he's just treating it as a special vacation!"

"It's better not to say it. If the boss finds out, we'll be in trouble."

“.”

In the dark night.

You can look up and see the stars in the sky from the detention center.

In this remote suburb, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, it seems to be particularly quiet.

The whole building seemed particularly deserted. After taking out her ID and passing the guard, Kaibu Oko stood in the corridor of the building, looking at the room at the end. There was a warmth on her cold face that she hadn't seen since.

"So Miss Kaibu, you are here to ask me for a backdoor instead of causing trouble for me?"
