Chapter 157 Prime Minister and Calling the Mastermind

Prime Minister and Calling the Mastermind

Ugaki’s PoV

I was summoned by the Prime Minister and entered his official residence…

“Ugaki-kun. I’m sorry for summoning you so suddenly.”

Words that were more sincere than before. His voice sounded a little tired. That might be the reason, as the scandal surrounding Councilor Kondo continues to spread day by day, and rumors about the money flowing into the city center begin to spread. Perhaps a weekly magazine will publish this next week or so.

The bullying problem caused by Kondo’s son is also getting a lot of attention. As the audio and video spread across the Internet, which is sensitive to bullying issues, the flames surrounding this incident will continue to grow. Then there is the political scandal. This will not end quickly…

“You are very tired, Prime Minister-san.”

I laughed to myself as I said very different things in my head.

“Oh, that’s right. I’m very tired because of Councilor Kondo. If something that shouldn’t be revealed is revealed, it may have a negative impact on the upcoming local elections. If that happens, my footing will be shaken.”

This is like telling yourself that you are guilty. Does he trust me that much? Or is he bluffing?

“Yes, I also feel that we must put out the fire as soon as possible.”

The Prime Minister laughs at these words.

“Please. You’re my only hope. If you need money, I don’t mind giving away my secret funds.”

Despite his bad attitude, I don’t think he would give us such an impossible task.

“Yes, we will do our best.”

The Prime Minister poured whiskey from a decanter bottle and handed it to me.

Smell the aroma. There are strong elements of oak and wine barrels. A familiar taste.

“I’m grateful to you. I will give your faction priority in the next cabinet reshuffle.”

It was only a verbal promise. In this field, such promises are meaningless.

“Thank you. I’m counting on you.”

It’s as if my mind and my mouth have become two different creatures.

I take a sip of liquor. The taste of bitter milk caramel and dried fruit with a wine-like astringency spread in my mouth.

“Is it Kyoto whiskey?”

The Prime Minister laughs,

“How did you know?”

“It’s from my constituency…”

Saying this, I looked coldly at the authority figure pouring ice into his own glass.

If he does that, he will not be able to taste the taste of the wine barrel. That is the extent of this man’s character.

It was a boring drinking party, but it turned out to be quite interesting. The little man in front of me was in a big hurry.

It seems that Councilor Kondo still has some use for us.

Ai’s PoV

I look at the report and sigh. This report is like a concentration of human malice.

Considering the evidence, Kondo seems to be not only a perpetrator but also a puppet. The mastermind is the manager of the Literature Club, Tachibana-senpai.

But I don’t know what Tachibana-senpai was thinking when she committed these two incidents. Jealousy? Or just for fun?

But just because of that, she has the heart to destroy people’s lives?

Even ignoring the pure emotion of her human kindness…

I feel a chill when I think about it as if she doesn’t consider others to be human…

“Ojou-sama, it’s ready.”

“Thank you.”

I got the phone from Kuroi.

“Tachibana-san’s number is already entered. Now all you have to do is press the call button and you will be connected to a blocked number.”

Take a deep breath and calm down. The other party is the hateful one who got rid of my Senpai’s precious manuscript. I have to handle this calmly.

I slowly pressed the call button…
