Chapter 1073. Pastry Filled Adventure National Interest
After Dinner. Mariko, the Takakura sisters, Tsukiko, Yomi, Luna, and Koyomi-chan. Then, Haiji, Rie, and Eri, the nine of us gathered in a separate room. Minaho won’t be returning tonight so I’ll have to explain it to you Margo-san and Nei said. As for cleaning up the dining room, we asked Katsuko-nee and Nagisa to take care of it. Kana-senpai, Megu, Ai, and Mana are with them. Mitama, Kinuka, and Arisu are looking after Agnes and Mao-chan. Yukino should be playing along with Mao-chan too. Although, I’m sorry to say but the situation may change while we’re talking so I’ll talk while the TV is on I’ll be checking the situation over the internet Nei says with an open laptop on her. It helps that you’ll explain things, but. I looked at the twins. Eri and Rie, are you sure you want to be here? Guessing from the exchange in the hotel today, the enemy’s objective is the Miko power, and so. I get that the four from the Takakura house are here. Haiji’s a bodyguard, so she has to know the situation. Mitama and Kinuka are also combat-capable but they have no skill to analyze the situation and so they’re not here. On the other hand, Mariko’s expected to understand the situation and so she’s here. But, Eri and Rie. These girls know the smell of the other side. Minaho said that they should hear the situation together with Yoshinobu-kun Minaho-neesan did? Well, it’s okay. We’re already accustomed to scary and dangerous stuff We don’t want to get used to it though, right, Eri-chan? The twins said and then take their seats. I believe that these girls should stay Mariko told me. These girls are sharp. I’m sure that they’ll notice anything that we might miss unintentionally Right, earlier, they did just that. They immediately noticed Kudou-papa’s sign. That Mazinga Z and Assorted Car Set. You know, we always think that when our parents talk, there’s something between the lines that put us in danger after all That’s right. It’s the scariest when they’re trying to talk to us with a smile and say that there’s a good thing You don’t know how far are they going to keep their word after all Really, it would be bad if we didn’t see what they’re trying to say between the lines Therefore, they never take what others say at face value. They always think of the other side. I mean, it’s just rare to see someone who doesn’t have other motives like Onii-san That’s true. Other people always hide something behind their words It’s my first time meeting someone who makes me at ease Me too. Mao-chan and Mao-chan too, everything is as they seem to be Yukino-neesan too, right? Yes, her. That girl’s too easy to understand that it’s easy to be with them The twins said. Well, putting that aside, sit down everyone Margo-san told us. We also sit next to the twins. First of all, Yoshinobu-kun, how much can you guess about the nature of the enemy? Margo-san smiled and asked me. The enemy is from the government. Or should I say, the police? I replied. Why would you think that way? That’s. Well, from the news earlier, the one who abused his authority and tried to gather personal information and got arrested was someone from the police. Kou, he’s not just from the police. That man was from the National Police Agency Mariko said. What’s the difference? Aren’t they both police? Then, Margo-san; The police system in Japan is a bit different. The policemen who work on-site is what they call a local government employee, under the structure of each administrative divisions of Japan. The ‘public safety commission’ of each prefecture is supposed to ‘manage’ their police The so-called ordinary police, are organizations scattered on each administrative division. Then, the National Police Agency is an institution of the National Public Safety Commission, an external bureau from the Cabinet office of the country authorities. Therefore, the staff of the National Police Agency is all government officials So the National Police Agency is a national agency. Oh, speaking of which, we do have the Metropolitan Police Department, right? I recalled The Metropolitan Police Department is the police safety commission that’s managing the police organization only in Tokyo. The other prefectures have Prefectural Police, but Tokyo’s the only one with the name Metropolitan Police Department. Or how should I say it? Tokyo is the only city that needs a lot of organization that other prefectures’ police departments don’t have. We don’t have the same scale as the other cities, right? Nearly 10% of the Population of Japan live in the capital city area Meaning, the Metropolitan police department’s police officers are government employees under the umbrella of Tokyo Metropolis? Mariko said. Well, that’s only concerning the site. Therefore, when recruiting new police officers, each of the prefectures hires their own, and they also manage their own academies Margo-san replies. Err. So the Metropolitan Police Department is only in the Tokyo Metropolitan Area. Then the National Police Agency is for the whole country. In other words, since the National Police Agency scopes the whole country, they manage the whole country as well. However, the truth is that they don’t have control of each administrative division of police. They have different lines. The National Police Agency is connected to the National Public Safety Commission from the Cabinet Office, but the prefectural police departments have to obey the public safety committee on the prefecture or the country. As for their wage, they receive money from each one The government official receives from the National Police Agency. The local government employee receives from the prefecture. But, that doesn’t mean that they’re completely separate Margo-san smiles wryly. The budget of the organization comes from the local but that doesn’t mean that they have to follow the governor of the prefecture. They say that the Administrative Divisions public safety commissions are a controlled study and are under the jurisdiction of the prefectural governor but the fact is the National Police Agency gives command directive on each prefectural police. To be precise, the National Police Agency creates a ‘precinct police bureau’ to ‘guide and supervise’ the prefectural police. Hokkaido and Tokyo Metropolitan Area are different, also, Tohoku, Kanto, Chubu, Kinki, Chugoku, Shikoku, and Kyushu jurisdiction The police in each prefecture have their own self-governing body, and yet. The prefectural police are tied up to several jurisdictions, and the National Police Agency controls them from above. Do you know why they do that? I don’t know. 1 I replied honestly. For example, the prefectural governors are elected from various parties on each one, right? In some cases, a politician from an opposition party that is in rivalry with the ruling party that runs the national government becomes the governor of a prefecture yeah. In that situation, where the prefecture police, are staff paid by money produced by the prefecture, and so when the prefectural governor says I’m the governor so you do what I tell you, it becomes chaotic, right? If the prefectures of the country have vastly different policies, the citizens won’t be able to understand them Oh, I see. So that’s why even if the Administrative divisions have their own self-governing police, they still have to obey the National Police Agency Mariko said. That’s right. They’re a local authority and yet the prefectural governor has no control over them. While at it, among the district police officers, a police inspector that get promoted leaves the government employee title and becomes an officer. That’s the rank of department head at prefectural police headquarters. Meaning, they control not just the bosses on each prefecture but the pay coming from the country as well But, if the state has that much control, the prefecture won’t be able to speak their opinion or complains, will they? Mariko asks frankly. That’s what the public safety commission on each prefecture is for. The Public Safety Commission, which is supposed to ‘manage’ the police in each county in the system, is actually the coordinator between the county and the county police. Thus, they make the system where they listen to the demands of each prefecture Margo-san said. That system.it’s a bit hard to determine if it’s good or not in a lot of ways. That’s the shape of the system but the fact is that they’re making complicated promises. Well, if the country gives an order of how the police should move, then it will go through the National Police Agency, then it will go from top to bottom of each police field on the prefectures and they’ll follow it without delay. They do what the country decides. That’s how it is, however. Yeah. However, the police officers on the scene also think We receive orders from the country, but we’re actually from a different organization. We belong to our local government After all, their position are all different. The people ordering from Tokyo are the elite government officials, and they’re local government employees. The wage structure is completely different. If you don’t rise through the ranks and become a police inspector, you won’t be able to compete on an equal footing with the people in the Tokyo Police Department The police organizations of the country follow the rules of the country, but. The structure of the organization is different between the ‘central’ and the ‘field’ and the position of the police officers working there is different. After all, the police officers on the field study in the police academy but those in the central government’s national police agency go to a different academy than theirs. There will be a difference as those from the national police agency are called elites Margo-san smiles wryly. Well, the power of the state takes swings from commanding and leading, and it’s a special case and so for the ordinary police officers, they just do their duty on the field without any changes. The country won’t be complaining about every brawl in town, shoplifters, a bike thief, or missing children. Tokyo’s national police agency will only speak on special cases Special. Yes, for example. Remember when the police are monitoring this mansion because Kyouko-san’s seen here? They always had someone stick in front of the gates since May. They face against the Kouzuki SS surveillance team. We call those people Security police, but officially, if they’re from the Metropolitan Police Department, then they’re Public Security, if it’s outside the administrative divisions, then it’s police affiliated with defense,.Meaning, those people are policemen who are local government employees affiliated prefectural police division I see. I was sure that the security police was a special organization in the country. Naturally.the national police agency has public safety division, although, it doesn’t have its police officers working on the field. Their job is only to guide the police officers in the public safety in the administrative divisions of the country I see. If I recall, our country also has the Public Security Intelligence Agency, right? Mariko asks. The Public Security Intelligence Agency is an external bureau of the Ministry of Justice. They’re not a police organization. Their work is subversive activity and examining activities that might be an act of terror. They can do on-site inspection arbitrarily, but they can’t do a compulsory search, household search, nor arrest people. They’re government officials, and they’re a completely different organization from the police Margo-san replied. So, the man whose arrest is possibly fabricated on the news, what organization is he in? I think that he’s in the top brass of the national
