Chapter 050 Councillor Mori
The new parliamentary election has begun.
Many people were confident about their rankings, but among a group of familiar people, there appeared a person who had never been heard of.
Moritaro, a man who suddenly appeared in the middle of the road and rode on the wind of Dounan, clearly did not even show up, and did not even make a single speech.
But his approval rating is unexpectedly high, and many people have a very favorable impression of this person.
Rather, he has a better impression of his daughter, the little girl who has super powers but always likes to help others.
Some people say that the girl is as bright as the sun, just like her hair, and she brightens up all the darkness wherever she goes.
Every time she appears, she mentions her father, speaking of his good qualities in an admiring and intimate tone, making people unconsciously favor them.
And the facts have proved that the appearance of Moritaro did indeed do a lot of things just as the girl said.
With his full support, Mr. Dounan helps Moritaro improve the city's infrastructure, strengthen security, and establish entertainment and educational facilities.
Especially in the city of Yokohama, it seems that the smoke of gunpowder will never stop, and it uses itself to embrace the stray dogs that have nowhere to go.
This city has spent the greatest effort on recuperation, but the effect is minimal, but the resources poured into it are just as great.
This is not an easy task. For Chidori, who is not even a member of parliament, getting the people above to agree to this is as difficult as climbing to heaven.
But Dounan spared no effort and even took a suicidal stance to fight against those senior officials who tried to disobey him.
And most of these were done by Dounan's private property, and the impact caused the citizens to have a better attitude towards the upper class. After this, the voices of resistance from above were reduced.
This one move alone made the superpowers in Yokohama tense. They would not allow anyone to attack their home, and the other party's purpose was completely unclear.
A person who hides his identity is really not worthy of trust.
Taro Mori, who was pushed to the highest position by the public, pushed for the first proposal after taking office, which was the overall modification of major cities and - filling in the Yokohama Iron Street.
Not only the senior executives, but even the citizens of Yokohama could not believe this announcement.
Rayong Street was caused by a huge explosion several years ago. It is a deep pit that directly occupies part of the city. It has been left there since its formation, and now there are even many people living there.
This is a mess that no one wants to touch. How can we fix it? The selection and cost of materials, the arrangement and placement of personnel, and the countless difficult procedures involved.
But the other party did just that. Even though he knew there was a towering wall in front of him, he still charged forward without hesitation.
——————
Chidori now has his own assets, and the time in his world is much faster than here, so it is not a problem for him to know some investment and stock news.
It is obvious that relying on these alone to complete one's proposal is just a drop in the bucket and is completely insufficient.
"Ah--" He held his head and sighed deeply. His tied hair fell down. At first glance, he really looked no different from the forest gull in this world.
Alice was eating the latest French dessert at this time, which was a reward from Chidori.
After all, it's really disgusting that you have to praise him like this every time!
"Alice-chan, if this continues I will be a complete failure and will be eaten up by those senior executives." His voice was soft and hoarse, as if he was just saying it casually.
But they all know that if this proposal cannot be implemented, Chidori will be the first to be blamed, and every penny and value of his will be squeezed out.
After all, people have been trying to assassinate him non-stop. What a bunch of idiots.
There was a sudden sound from the windowsill. Alice's breathing stopped and she clenched the fork in her hand, staring at the direction of the sound with her inorganic blue eyes.
Chidori smiled again, looking at the calico cat that jumped in from the windowsill, her eyes showing fine lines from laughing.
He stretched out his hand to hold the cat in his arms, but the cat nimbly moved over.
The next moment, there was a flash of light, and the cat that had landed on the seat opposite Chidori turned into a gentleman middle-aged man wearing a top hat and holding a cane.
The calico-colored hair did not seem out of place, and he had a steady aura as he looked at Chidori expressionlessly.
Chidori seemed to have caught up with nothing. He leaned back in his chair, crossed his hands, and pointed his toes at the other person. This sitting posture gave the other person a sense of oppression.
"Nice to meet you, Natsume-sensei. I am so happy to see you look just as I remembered you."
He spoke first, saying that the initiative was in his hands, and his deep purple eyes looked at the other party quietly.
Natsume Soseki was not so easy to fool. He came straight to the point and asked, "What do you want to do? Do you really know what you are doing now?"
He has been working with Chidori for a long time and is the one who knows Chidori's identity best. A Morigu from another world, coming to this world to do infrastructure construction?
In fact, he only realized not long ago that he had been fooled by the other party. Most of the interactions and conversations with Alice in front of him were just acting.
He showed his dangerousness in order to warn Chidori and others not to act rashly, allowing Chidori to get through the most difficult time before becoming famous.
In this world, information and intelligence are the most important things, and Chidori obviously knows more than he thought.
It was precisely because of the information gap that the other party was able to hold back a group of suspicious psychics and quickly grow to the point where they could contend with all the major forces in this world.
So today, he showed his special ability without any reservation. After all, the other party already knew it, right?
The questioned Chidori waved her hands and chuckled as if she had heard something funny, and her every move showed the demeanor of a superior.
"Teacher, is what I did a bad thing? Everything I did was to make this city and this country better."
He spread his hands and spoke with an attitude and determination that left no room for dispute.
Natsume Soseki was not shaken by his words. He tapped the ground with his cane and said, "There are more gentle ways. What you are doing now is hurting others and yourself."
He squeezed out the value of Dounan and made himself a target for everyone. If this proposal is not pushed forward, not only Mori Ou, but also the citizens and officials involved will all suffer.
This is simply like the behavior of a child. There is no room for retreat, and everyone is being pulled in the direction that he thinks is good.
"Alas," Chidori sighed after hearing this. He reached out and curled his hair slightly, but his smile faded. "Teacher, you are still so stubborn and so... indecisive."
This was probably the first time in Natsume Soseki's life that someone described him like this. He seemed to be laughing out of anger, and when he was about to continue speaking, Chidori interrupted him.
He supported his head with his left hand and looked at the other person as if he was just an ordinary collaborator rather than a respected teacher.
In those smiling purple-red eyes there is a cold scrutiny and calculation of value; only people of value can enter his eyes.
"How long have you been implementing the Three Quarters idea? And what trend will this idea take in the future? Can you guarantee it?" He weighed the pros and cons like the most rational businessman and revealed his aggressiveness.
He looked Natsume in the eye without fear: "But my plan can. If it succeeds, it will enable everyone to make this country better and better."
That's why he did it, discarding the possibility of failure and seemingly recklessly going in the direction that could only lead to success.
Natsume Soseki truly put aside the impression in his memory and re-examined the Mori Ougai in front of him.
In the other person's mind, as long as he succeeds, he will abandon any possibility of failure. For this reason, he can pull anyone in and abandon any existence.
This is his best solution, cold-blooded yet crazy, how did he develop such a temperament?
The Three-minute Concept may not be a perfect idea, but it is the most suitable method for Yokohama and can stabilize Yokohama again.
Natsume Soseki has always been an open-minded and wise person. He looked at the other person and finally just sighed deeply.
"You will bear all the consequences yourself," he realized that he could not stop it, and quickly adjusted the negotiation for other remaining areas, "but you have to give those ordinary citizens and the superpowers room to survive. After this, I will send people to protect you."
After all, Alice still has to cooperate with the acting to attract attention to Chidori, so it is impossible for her to be by Chidori's side all the time.
Chidori was silent for a long time before she nodded and agreed as if she had suffered a great loss.
Before leaving, Natsume Soseki still warned him to be careful and said he would stop him if he crossed his bottom line.
This is already a mild way of saying that you disagree with him, or even that you are hostile to him.
Watching the teacher leave, the smile on Chidori's face faded, and she frowned subconsciously, holding her head up as if she was thinking about something, or maybe she was thinking about nothing.
The sound of footsteps approached, and Alice came in front of him. She stroked Chidori's face with her cool hands and smoothed his frown.
Such warmth made him calm down, and he looked at her quietly. Alice smiled and said mockingly, "Rintaro, no one is on your side anymore. You are alone again."
He tilted his head slightly. The supernatural body had no temperature, only a cold touch. He just lowered his eyes slightly: "It doesn't matter, as long as Alice is by my side."
"You will never betray me, that's all you need." He raised his eyes, it was hard to tell whether it was fire or coldness in them, "Even if you are drenched in filth, even if you are spit upon by thousands of people, only Alice will not leave, right?"
Alice put her hands on Chidori's neck, as if hugging him, and answered in the sweetest voice: "Yes, poor Rintaro, you have nothing, it doesn't matter, just continue to do everything you want."
This was an almost bizarre scene, the man and his own superpower body embraced each other, as if they were the only ones in the world. He was not recognized by anyone, nor did he need anyone's recognition.
He only believed in his own optimal solution. No matter what, nothing could stop him, including the group of killers waiting outside.
Chidori touched Alice's hair and said sympathetically, "Thank you for your hard work, Alice-chan. When the bodyguards sent by Natsume-sensei arrive, I will buy you your favorite dessert shop."
"Well, that's better. I won't wear those skirts in the closet either!"
“Ah——No, Alice-chan!!”
Chidori said this reluctantly, sighing deeply as she wondered when the free bodyguard would show up.
The person sent by Natsume Soseki must be trustworthy, quiet, and have high fighting ability. There are not many people who meet these conditions.
Although he expected it, he still felt a rare headache when he saw the Silver Wolf Warrior standing at the door.
But no matter what, the person in front of me is indeed a good sucker.
So he smiled warmly, waved and said, "It's been a long time since we last met, Mr. Fukuzawa. I'm glad to see that you are well."
