Chapter 133
"So, as Rear Admiral Kamiya, you have no intention of personally condemning the high-ranking military and government officials at the time who decided to forcibly recruit you as soul soldiers?"
In the main hall of the Prime Minister's Office, Prime Minister Kariya, dressed in a black kimono with a tome sleeve sitting on a chair opposite, repeats my remarks and confirms my true intentions.
"Yes, I think the only thing they are responsible for is that they did not follow the proper procedures under the laws of Japan, which is a country governed by law. Since there was no other way to overcome the national crisis than to send me to the battlefield, I believe that they also made a difficult choice."
I also came to the official residence in a completely different way from the last time I entered the official residence in a school uniform without an appointment, and I also came to this occasion wearing a white collared uniform and a blue cloak representing the rank of major general.
Kariya, who is a female prime minister, was wearing a kimono with a black tome sleeve, which was formal to a men's morning tuxedo, and I had no choice but to dress politely.
Shortly after returning to Japan, I wore my sleeves for the first time since I playfully wore it in the Ichigaya government building.
"So you were unjustly endangering your life to the state by ignoring your own will?"
"In this country, people like me are conspicuous, but on the battlefields of other countries, I have seen people being drafted into the army regardless of their own free will, and boys younger than me carrying guns, so I don't think I have suffered any particular misfortune and distress in this regard."
"In this regard...... Is it?"
Prime Minister Kariya stiffens his intelligent face for a moment, saying to himself so that the people around him can't hear him, but soon regains his official face.
"Still, as a representative of this country and as an adult, I am ashamed that I have sent you to the battlefield to live in peace, and I am truly sorry."
Prime Minister Kariya, who got up from his chair, bent down and bowed deeply to me and apologized.
((((Pasha Shasha!) )))
The flashes of several cameras are fired, giving the illusion of being lost in the world of light.
When the violent camera flash finally subsided, I got up from my chair, and Prime Minister Kariya raised his head as a signal.
"I accept the apology, and I will remain quiet from now on and work as a military officer in times of crisis for the country."
Saying that, I hold out my hand for a handshake instead of a military-style salute.
This indicates that he accepted the apology not as a military major-general Kamiya, but as a private citizen named Yusuke Kamiya.
"Thank you."
Prime Minister Kariya holds my outstretched hand tightly.
I shook hands with Prime Minister Kariya as if I were the head of another country with which I had signed a treaty, and I turned my smile to the media camera, and again I was met with violent camera flashes.
Thus ended the farce.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
"'Respectfully, Rear Admiral Kamiya, an adult response to the Prime Minister's apology.'"
"Looks like you have something to say, Senior Suo."
During the lunch break, when I was having lunch in my usual club room after escaping from the classroom where I was not comfortable, senior Suo opened a newspaper and entered the room with a photo of me and the prime minister shaking hands.
"No, I think it's true that position makes a person."
"It's just a political show, and we just cooperated with Prime Minister Kariya because our interests coincided."
"Interests?"
"If you look at public opinion these days, there's a lot of talk like, 'I shouldn't be in the military,' or 'I should let him go free!' I wanted to keep that in check."
"Ah, but from Kamiya's point of view, wouldn't it be better if he could leave the army peacefully?"
I explain the reason to Senior Suo, who asks curiously.
"It's annoying to hear people in the outfield who don't know anything about me, and who are talking about Yanya Yanya and my path."
"You're still a demon."
"Look, I'm a rebellious kid."
Saying that, I spread out my lunch box with a blank face.
"And what's the matter with the Tiger Roar, which is more disgusting than ever?"
"Uhehe...... "Is the opponent of the hero Major General Kamiya a battlefield diva Tiger Roar!?", "The two are childhood friends who have known each other as a family since childhood", "The public is expecting the birth of a suitable couple".
A number of sports newspapers and weekly magazines covering intriguing topics are piled up, and Mina is grinning as she mumbles to herself.
"If you're in trouble, I'll tell Dr. Kirigaya and I'll destroy the servers of the publisher and the online news site so that they can't be restarted."
Next to Mina, who is smiling, Kotomi seems to be in a bad mood.
"It's unavoidable that the public has this kind of misunderstanding, Mr. Hinoura, and besides, you can't erase the news that has spread to the public now."
"Ku...... Tiger Roaring Senpaime...... I feel like I filled in the outer moat and took the lead. I'm going to reveal my identity to the world ......."
Beside Mina, Kotomi hugs Chusuke while gritting her teeth.
His arms are so strong that Chusuke's face is crushed into a bun.
"You'd better stop it, Hinoura-senpai, Hinoura-senpai's ability to wear a soul is useful even in peacetime, so even if the information comes out, it will be crushed by the authorities before it is reported."
Why couldn't Rin-chan's ability stop such a silly report!?"
"It's because it's a silly report, and it's quicker to extinguish this kind of speculation if it is left unchecked. If the government rushes to restrict the press, it could be perceived as an inconvenient truth."
"Well, I'm going to continue to make it a fait accompli."
This person is definitely going to run wild!"
- Shinrin-chan, who calmly admonishes, is eaten by Kotomi.
"So, Yusuke, do you think you will be able to go to the academy in the future?"
Ignoring the suspicious Mina, Misuzu asks as she stops her meal unusually.
"Yes, that's perfect, I played such a tear-jerking farce with Prime Minister Kariya in front of the camera. This created an atmosphere in which public opinion did not strongly urge me to concentrate on my duties as a major general."
"Some of the people who have soared have said that they are going to use Yusuke's power to actively invade other countries."
"I guess that's why my existence was kept secret except for a few of the top people in the country."
Anyway, it must have been said by half-hearted people who only know the surface.
"Anyway, it's good, and I don't want to be taken to the battlefield."
"For Misuzu, who has an obligation to accompany me, my movements are certainly a big deal."
Relieved, Misuzu resumes eating.
"Now that things have settled down, I want to go somewhere else to play."
"Oh, speaking of calming down, there was talk of being taken to a spa resort after the school festival by Tiger Roar's senior."
Saying this, Kotomi looked at Mina as she remembered.
"Ah~, that's what I said."
I also remember Mina blowing the senpai wind in the dressing room before the start of the triumphal concert at the school festival, me and Kotomi who were dying from preparations.
"I was so messed up after the school festival that I completely forgot about it."
At that time, Misuzu came to the live venue with a special attack weapon, and there was a joint yakiniku launch after that, so I completely forgot about it.
"Oh, it's a tiger roar."
"I'm looking forward to it, brother."
"What? Isn't it just Yuu-kun and Hinoura-san who are arrogant?"
"The Suo brothers and sisters were also doing their best to guard Mina's live venue."
"Ugh...... Ah~, I already figured it out! I'm going to hang out with them on the weekends!"
""""I'm going to be a gochi!"""
Is this also due to the fact that it is a special school that is paid a flat salary?
There was no hesitation or hesitation in each other's arrogance.
What do you think?
