Chapter 1182. Short Series A Human Success Part 5
I mean, Murata-san, what do you expect from the nobility? They’re people composed of vested interests, so will you destroy them? I asked the former cultural celebrity and current prefectural governor, Murata Hideo well, you see Governor Murata’s making a face that says this is a problem, and I didn’t let that pass. No, no, it’s not our intention to scrap and build all of the social systems that existed until now. It’s normal to leave the good ones So, who decides which are the good ones to keep? I push further. Well, that’s of course for the citizens to decide. Isn’t that obvious? I mean, you can ask the people for their judgment.if you prefer, we can use a national referendum. But, if we hold such votes every time, we won’t be able to have speedy politics. Therefore, it’s up to the politicians elected by the people to make a fair judgment Governor Murata’s laying down his debate with such energy. Nono, you should know that too, right? How many instructions I assembled so I get chosen as the governor. I’m the governor of the prefecture, elected by the local voters, thus, the people trust me. Therefore, the judgment of the people in the prefecture is equal to the judgment I and my allies make. You should know that since you learned the Japanese electoral system in your school, right? If you don’t understand, then it’s your school teacher’s negligence! He sure is good at derailing the conversation. Governor Murata looked away from me and back to Yazawa-san. I’m now being directed by the people to reform the prefecture. As Yazawa-san knows, it’s making a tremendous effect! Our Heisei Political Breakthrough reform, is highly praised by the media as well! Now, I want to convey this reform to the national government He’s appealing with sparkling eyes. Well, I sure am a man of honesty and passion, so I might not be able to speak well so I’m sorry for that, but, I want you to understand my passion for reforming Japan! Please give me the chance to appeal our political party to Kouzuki-san directly! Right? Governor Murata bows his head. Is that it? Yazawa-san said coldly. Huh? Murata looked up. It’s politician’s job to bow their heads. I’ve been working next to Kouzuki Kakka’s side for some time now so I’ve seen politicians bow so many times before Yeah, a lot of politicians do come to Jii-chan. Asking for funds, connection, or promotion. They all bow their heads to Jii-chan. Murata-san came from television work to politician, so you perhaps don’t know. Hence, it can’t be helped that you don’t know how politicians act, but. Yazawa-san speaks to governor Murata, laughing scornfully. Even if you treat us as your supporter and patron, then it won’t work on us Nono, that’s not true! I’m just trying to get you to understand my passion, see? Isn’t that kind of speaking mocking me as a prefectural governor, a head of a local government Oh, this time he’s trying to reverse the situation. It’s up to you to decide what you want to believe with what I said. I have no idea why you felt that way though Yazawa-san’s blunt. Sensei, please calm down The secretary who’s waiting at the door comes to governor Murata’s side. Yes, yes, I know. I know Governor Murata told his secretary, then. So what is it? Does Yazawa-san want me to prostrate on my knees? To crawl on the floor and rub my forehead on the ground to gain Kouzuki-san’s support in our activities? Is that what you want to say, right? Look, he’s even angrier than before. What’s with this guy? What do you think? Yazawa-san looked at me. I don’t even understand why it has come to that. Murata-san, what’s the point in groveling to the ground? I asked. Yazawa-san didn’t want you to prostrate yourself, and besides, if Murata-san were to kneel, will that solve anything? That’s what I don’t understand I’m sorry to say but just because Murata-san kneeled doesn’t mean that Jii-chan will meet you, or respond to your requests. I mean, you said that because I didn’t bow my head low enough, haven’t you? sensei! The secretary desperately calms down the governor. Then that’s the same as demanding me, the governor who received the trust of the people in my prefecture, to bow with my hands on the floor? I don’t think that’s it I said. Murata-san, you can’t just kneel on the ground. I mean, you have no intention of bowing your head for real, you’re just doing it for the sake of it, don’t you? What did you say? No, it’s kind of obvious. There’s no heart to it. After all, you have no intention of bowing down your head to the Kouzuki house, don’t you? You think that you’re lucky to use their money and connections, but the truth is, you hate the lumps of vested interests, like the Kouzuki house, don’t you? Governor Murata. i didn’t say anything like that! It’s just your selfish speculations! He says in a panic. But, look. I’m the one who will be telling Jii-chan whether Murata-san’s trustworthy or not So please stop making crazy reports based on speculation! Wrong. Isn’t it Murata-san’s job to speak in a way that won’t cause me to make such weird speculations? I said. I don’t know much about politicians, but, let’s be honest, Murata-san came here to borrow Jii-chan’s money, right? Oh wait, you said that you want support so it’s not borrowing, but instead, you’re asking for money Hey! You! And it’s not just money, you’re also asking for Jii-chan.I mean, Kouzuki house’s influence and authority to support you, right? I summarize the conversation into something even I could understand. I think that’s what’s Yazawa-san’s talking about, what’s with the attitude of someone who came to ask for something Governor Murata. you’re rude! You’re extremely rude! I’m the governor! And I’m also the man who’ll represent a political party, although it hasn’t started yet So what? If it’s Kouzuki-san, the representative of the Kouzuki house, then he has a much higher status than me, a power that I cannot match, so if Kouzuki-san says something, I’ll do anything, even if it means going down to my knees or eating spaghetti out of my nose! But you’re just a student! Even Yazawa-san is just a subordinate of Kouzuki-san, he’s not Kouzuki-san himself! Hmm. Normally, you’re just a citizen, you’re not even allowed to talk to a governor like me! What’s with this? I don’t care if you’re a relative of the Kouzuki house or not but you’re just a student, you’re too rude to me! Apologize to Murata-sensei. It’s for the better The secretary told me. I. Yazawa-san. It seems like Murata-san doesn’t want Jii-chan’s assistance I told Yazawa-san. Seems like that. Well then, if you’d excuse us, Murata-sensei Yazawa-san stood up right away. Wait a second! Governor Murata shouted. Hey! Wait! Where are you going in this narrow country! We’re not going anywhere. There’s no need to talk any further, and so we’ll have to ask Murata-san to leave Yazawa-san said. Me too. After all, from everything I heard from Murata-san’s talk, I don’t think Jii-chan should meet him. Not likely I said it flatly. Why did you decide so? Yazawa-san asks me. This is the test. I have to verbalize what my impressions are clearly and comprehensively. Murata-san wants to destroy the vested interests, to scrap and build the current Japan social system, but he never talked about anything specific that he wants to do Yeah. that’s because I was about to! Governor Murata said, but. Look, sorry but Jii-chan and the Kouzuki house isn’t a moneylender nor a charity man I said. If you want something done, then you should first say that I have this goal, and to achieve this, I need this, and so I want your support, right? Taking such an incomprehensible attitude and putting on such an air of importance will only bring poor impressions on the other party Also. Murata-san said that Japan will collapse if things continue, but you don’t even understand what’s going on or why Japan would be destroyed, nor Murata-san did plan anything to prevent that destruction I said I’m just about to explain it! I mean, don’t you also think that Japan’s in jeopardy if things continue as they are, don’t you? If you don’t think so, then you don’t understand anything about society at all! Governor Murata said. You should be more interested in politics! All conscious young people should be aware of the current crisis! I. No thanks. I’m already busy with things I have to do every day This is what I’m talking about! People like you who have no sense of urgency will destroy Japan! Oh, what do I do with this guy? I can’t even talk normally to him. Its young people like you who don’t know what’s going on should listen to our political argumen
