Ippanjin Enpou Yori Kaeru. Mata Hatara Kaneba!

Partial extract from the press conference held just before the emergency meeting in front of the emergency● headquarters

- A few minutes ago, there was something new on the ground.

We are also checking for local anomalies. Currently, we are trying to gather information, but in the process, the information is mixed.

- From the outside, it seems that the visible force field, which is called "barrier" in SNS, etc., has disappeared.

· Although it seems to have disappeared from a distance, there is information that it can be seen slightly nearby, and it is still too early to provide the citizens with information on whether it is safe or not. Please do not approach the neighborhood inadvertently.

- I want to know about future moves including rescue plans for people trapped in the force field.

The person in charge will make an official announcement after this, but I believe that the site is still in a dangerous situation. We asked the neighboring hospitals to accept people in need of medical attention, and we got approval. Our troops are ready to respond as soon as we can eliminate the danger. However, safety has not been confirmed.

- Although it has only been confirmed by footage from one of the TV stations, there is a person who has broken into Faraway City. From the outside, it seems likely that it is a "knight of the speed of light". Should I think that he has improved this situation?

The video is being scrutinized. He is judged to be, or to be related to, the possibility alone. However, there is no information that his actions have improved the situation at this time.

- Can we assume that there is no direct government involvement in his actions?

-That's what happens.

- He volunteered on his own, not on the government's orders.

-That's what I think.

- Doesn't that mean the government has no control over Knight's behavior?

Since it is a special case, we have recently set up a countermeasure preparation room specializing in specific cases for the hypothetical "Knight of Light Speed". We are approaching it from that line. However, it is not possible to discuss this at this time, as some of the content handled is very sensitive.

- What about the allegation that the intelligent person is deviating from the civilian control that was causing the concern?

Again, the details of the deployed units are confidential. However, as I gave instructions to travel to the site, I also confirmed that Prime Minister Yokosawa was giving me the final sign. We are aware within the government that there is no deviation from the civilian control you have pointed out.

- In this case, the subject of "civilian control" is not the preparation room troops, but an individual named "Knight of Light" and his collaborators.

He said he was approaching it. I'm sorry, but this is classified and not public.

- We just got a report from the field. Several helicopters were confirmed to have flown in just before the loss of the force field. I don't know where that belongs.

Since it is confidential, please forgive us for providing information.

- Including that, several more helicopters have been moved to the site. Since then, there have been reports from the field that troops are deploying. It's classified, but the government hasn't confirmed it yet.

Although the details cannot be given, it is the relevant department of the preparation room (mentioned above). Refrain from answering questions about personnel affiliation because it is very delicate.

- There appears to be someone among the personnel who is considered a "skeleton warrior".

(As in the preceding paragraph) I will refrain from answering.

- Criticism that the government is acquiescing to the actions of the "Knights of Light" and "Skeleton Warriors" has already been scattered online.

How much is acquiescence about behavior? The question is too broad and difficult to answer.

- In this case, it refers to informal activities like vigilantes.

I think that the actions of his person are only good third parties in terms of protecting the safety of the citizens who may be lost there. I believe that there are other people who have similar opinions. However, I am aware that the action will be scattered beyond the boundaries of the law, and I am also discussing it within the Diet. In view of this, it led to the creation of the (aforementioned) preparatory room. I would like you to think that the work and jurisdiction of this preparatory room will naturally include the verification of the activity of the Knight. Of course, if there is a problem, we will also take measures.

- Is it okay to think that if it is clearly illegal, there can be arrest and detention?

Japan is a country under the rule of law and will take resolute measures against criminal acts committed within the scope of its sovereignty. The view is that illegal activities should naturally be accompanied by penalties.

- Can you deal with him if he resists, such as when he's rampaging at the time of his arrest?

It is not preferable to talk about assumptions.

- I think it's possible. I'm actually running away from a shutdown order by the Mobile Corps in the case of the Hotel Skyscraper.

In that case, there was no consensus among everyone, including us, because of the sudden. Each department has been notified of a certain response policy, and we are prepared to have them act as such. And I know that I can communicate with the "Knight" through conversation. And I am convinced that if we can speak rationally, we can also obtain consent.

- Isn't it possible? If we talk about it, the people won't be convinced by such sexist rhetoric.

It is a preparation room for that. We are making preparations so that we can deal with such aspects as well. We have prepared multiple countermeasures, including backups.

- Prime Minister Yokosawa's meeting has been postponed twice. He was also confirmed to be absent from the official residence. I was contacted by the player to return to Tokyo, but where is the prime minister now?

Returning to Tokyo from the tour. On the way, due to traffic problems, the arrival is delayed, but I am using telephone and online to ask for instructions. The situation is also reported to the Prime Minister continuously, and until the arrival of the deputy Prime Minister is acting as the commander, and I believe that there is no problem

― ― Somewhere in Kanto Near Prefecture ― ―

The rear seat door is opened by the SP.

"Thank you. I'll do it alone from here."

"... I understand, but I'll be with you to the front door."

When you get out of the car, you get an umbrella.

There was suddenly a light rainfall like a drizzle.

"I'm sorry, it's been a long hour. Whether we make progress or not, we're going to cut it up. As soon as I'm done, I'll hurry back to the official residence."

"Yes, we have a civilian helicopter ready to use for the most immediate night voyage." From here, in less than an hour, you can reach the official residence. "

"It's like two hours." The former Vice Premier's wife is also troubled. I guess it's time to postpone it to the limit.

An elderly man retightening his tie and receiving an umbrella offered to him.

This is Yokosawa, the Prime Minister of Japan.

He stands in front of a Japanese house with a Japanese garden, which is supposed to be delayed from the playground due to traffic problems.

Every step you take, a moist, gravelly path walks through the sounds.

When I lost it and reached the doorstep, I was blinded by the leading SP.

The SP who did it nodded lightly and gave Yokosawa the head.

"If you need anything, please call me."

"... pray for nothing. Well, I'm sure it'll be okay."

Yokosawa tried to reach into the intercom near the front door, and a voice rang out from there.

Come on in. I thought you might come. I left the key open.

A slightly withered voice, but a voice of a person speaking through the intercom in a firm tone.

"...... I don't have an appointment, so I'm afraid this night will come."

Yokosawa was not surprised to say that, and when she opened the front door, she went inside.

It is disrespectful to come in such a late night without contacting me in advance. On the other hand, Yokosawa was moving on the basis of prediction that he would come.

Even though it's actually such a night, the light at the door and the light in the house are lit.

When I handed the umbrella to the SP outside the front door, I closed the door.

Phew, when you take a breath, you're standing upright and waiting for thirty seconds.

I notice someone coming from the back of the hallway, making the sound of a stirrup and something rubbing against the floor.

"You're so serious, Yokosawa-kun. You can take off your shoes and go up."

Someone cares about something strange, and throws such words with a bitter smile.

"No, Sensei, that's not possible." And this sudden visit. I'm so sorry. "

Yokosawa, a man who is the prime minister of a country, turns to the person in front of him and bends his hips deeply to bow his head.

There is a step up the front door, but when I raise my head, my gaze just hits the person.

The person was sitting in a wheelchair even older than Yokosawa, who was generally called an old man. That's why my eyes just fit. Behind him is a middle-aged man who pushes a wheelchair, holding back a little to avoid getting in the way of the conversation.

That said, he was called a crossword. His body was horny and his head looked firm, and his conversation was good.

"I haven't seen my acquaintances in a long time, so you don't have to be afraid of them." After all, people who are politicians are the first to know about themselves after quitting. Stiffness in rigid clothes. I'm sure I was, too.

"Sensei..."

When Yokosawa said that, the crosshairs laughed with a wrinkled face.

"Come on, Sensei, stop it." I'm retired. But the last time it happened was after Hojo's second wedding. "

"It's been ten years since then. It seems that Hojo-san was also happy to have his first grandson last year before he was registered as a ghost. My grandson is in elementary school next time, and my youngest child is three years old."

"He's happy, too, isn't he? I didn't know they both had grandchildren. Compared to that, I am now an old man who enjoys three meals and a stroll through the garden with a cane once a day. I don't know about these days anymore."

That's what the crosshairs say, but it's only a hatchet.

Prior to his secret retirement 20 years ago, he was known as a big politician who knew both the front and the back of the political world. He held a number of ministerial positions and was also a leading candidate for the post of prime minister.

After being involved in a sudden bribery case and hiding in a way that pulls itself out, it doesn't appear on the stage at all, and the memory is vague if not for a slightly older voter.

That said, Yokosawa believed that caution was necessary for his attitude as a member of a faction during his active service and as a prosperous group after the dissolution of the faction.

After all, I knew Yokosawa would be here.

"Mr. Cross, that's not true."

"Well, I don't know what to say here." Come up, let's have a cup of tea and a little chat. "

Having said that, the crosshead nods to the man who was holding back.

The man pushed the crossword wheelchair to the back.

"No, Mr. Cross. I don't have time for that..."

Yokosawa is in a panic after being told to serve tea.

However, I said the crosshairs as I went backwards.

"Don't worry, I've got everything I need on the table before you come." Still, let's talk while watching. Thirty years ago, the day we went astray from the Nine. "

"Sensei..."

"The teacher said no." But I was the only one who knew about it at the time and was alive and not bored. Everyone pushed their life expectancy against me. Yeah, absolutely. Better or worse to live longer. If I'd passed away so early, I wouldn't have had to worry about this. "

You walk down the hallway with your head down and your shoes off. In the process, the cross-hair mouth, which is close to monologue, does not stop.

Moving on, there was a visitor's room, where the crosshairs landed on the table with Yokosawa.

"But if he's going to make it this far, it's his job to survive by talking to you about what's going on." Leave the old men to the next generation. The business is deep. "

I'm afraid so.

"Please, Yokosawa-kun. I'll make sure to find him here. I'll find them." I need you to stop this. I'm not in a position to ask you to be a sinner. "

A crosshair that bows its head deeply to Yokosawa's junior.

In the active period, I have seen it as a pose, but I don't think I have seen it sincerely.

And Yokosawa nodded.

"Ok, Mr. Cross. Always, always at this price of ours. I'll stop the loess and show it to you."

Looking at Yokosawa, who was determined to do so, the cross finally gave a reassuring smile.
