339. Urgent message
The aides, who had become disillusioned, ran to find their congressmen.
He sat close to the Liberal Democratic Party members and reported quietly to each of them.
It was a bonus to occasionally glance at other lawmakers and aides.
“Congressman, NHKS has contacted you. They say they are barely able to cover up your affair scandal.”
“Congressman, the Asahi Shimbun has contacted you. They are asking if the allegations of drug scandal against you are true. What should we do?”
“Congressman, reporters from the Mainichi Shimbun have barged in. They’d like to interview you about your alleged bullying.”
“Sir, it’s from the Yomiuri Shimbun. They’ve sent me a complaint about academic fraud and stock price manipulation!”
“Congressman, in the Sankei Shimbun… …!”
“Congressman, in the Nihonke Shimbun… …!”
“Sir, in the Tokyo Shimbun… …!”
My back hurts!
After enjoying a few days of paradise in a Korean fairyland, I came back only to find this hellishly horrible problem waiting for me!
The LDP members unconsciously took a step back.
“I, I don’t know!”
“It’s a false accusation! It’s a mistake!”
“I’m so tired I could die from the aftereffects.”
“I think it would be better to just go home today.”
The LDP members quickly turned around to get out.
But the aides clung to him tightly and held on, not letting go of his bare hands.
“Congressman, reporters from newspapers and broadcasting stations have gathered in front of the National Assembly building!”
“Even the gossip magazine paparazzi are following us!”
It was a dilemma.
“What should we do, Senator?”
“Should I strongly deny that it is true? Or should I pretend not to know?”
“What should I do if evidence or witnesses come forward? Please tell me!”
The pale-faced Liberal Democratic Party members swallowed dry saliva.
Their hands were crumpled with torn paper.
That was right.
Because this is exactly the kind of technique they are good at.
LDP lawmakers used to create dirty political scandals to get rid of their political opponents.
As a result, the Liberal Democratic Party was able to become the absolute ruling party in Japan.
The hairs on the back of the LDP members stood on end.
‘I haven’t even properly checked whether all the threatening letters and photos have been recovered yet!’
The LDP members, who had become lost in thought, simultaneously screamed.
“Move now! If you find any ridiculous and strange threats, tear them down and burn them immediately!”
“That’s not it! That’s really not it! I won’t die, so don’t get upset unnecessarily!”
“Anyway, I have to erase this with my life!”
“If it falls into the hands of the press, then you and I will both die!”
He pestered his aides as if he was kicking them out.
They ransacked the Capitol like rats.
An instinctive sense of crisis came over me.
A siren blared in my head.
‘There’s no need to go as far as a witness. Just show the evidence attached here and the press will bite you and say it’s good!’
‘From the moment my name tag is branded, all sorts of rumors will be added to it, regardless of whether they are true or false!’
‘Then my political career is over! My whole life will be thrown into the mud!’
Just thinking about it takes my breath away.
Until now, they have been arrogantly looking down on the world through the eyes of those in power.
As I imagined the public backlash, I began to feel worried.
‘How do I get out?’
‘How do I fix this?’
‘How do I stop it?’
The LDP members looked at each other and exchanged glances.
The moment they saw the distorted face and anxiously trembling eyes, they realized at the same time.
‘He was threatened too!’
‘That kid’s weakness has been discovered!’
‘That kid got caught too!’
They recalled the same phrase at the same time.
this.
“Damn, the next head of the Jeong family, isn’t that a ignorant brat?”
“It’s clear that one of those hairdos is not ordinary.”
“Even your action skills are amazing.”
The Liberal Democratic Party members all quietly expressed their anger.
“Then why are you plucking the nose hair of a tiger that is just sitting there?”
“I told you over and over again that you would be full if you just shared 55% of the inheritance tax!”
“How are we going to stop this!”
“Liberal Democratic Party leader, this guy is the biggest problem! He’s so stubborn!”
Naturally, anger poured out on the leader of the Liberal Democratic Party who led this effort.
Only then did I realize.
“What on earth is this guy doing in this situation?”
“I haven’t even seen your nose since a while ago!”
One of the aides opened his mouth hesitantly.
“That’s… , you need to go home and explain this to your father-in-law and wife right away… .”
“What the hell is going on?”
The Liberal Democratic Party members sharply criticized this.
“They kept shouting for unity and solidarity, saying that if we come together we will live, if we divide we will die!”
“I ran away secretly saying I’m going to live alone?”
The fire that had started inside blazed up fiercely.
Just then, another LDP member came down the stairs in a panic and poured oil on it.
“Oh no! The opposition party members are going to hold an emergency press conference in a little while!”
“Now is not the time to worry about that.”
Who cares whether they hold a press conference or not?
This guy’s on fire right now!
For them, the most important thing was how to cover up their shame that was exposed to the world.
“They say they have a ledger of bribes distributed in all directions while selling the F-5 to the American defense company Northcorp Aerospace!”
“what?”
The faces of the Liberal Democratic Party members became even paler.
Aren’t they already the ones who got a taste of the defense industry corruption scandal through the Lockheed scandal?
There was no way Northcop would have refused a bribe.
So this was also a sudden and unexpected dump of shit.
“Don’t these kids have any morals? Why are they bringing up the Northcorp issue at this particular time?”
It was like adding insult to injury.
Why do bad things happen all at once without any luck?
“So what happened?”
“I’m trying to contact the opposition party to find out the specifics of the situation, but they’re refusing to talk!”
The already burning inside is burning even more.
“We have to stop it somehow!”
“That’s why I was looking for the party leader and party officials to come up with a plan like this!”
The Liberal Democratic Party leader and party executives who should have taken the lead in devising countermeasures were themselves.
“Sir, this is the Sankei Shimbun!”
“Congressman, this is the Nihonke Shimbun!”
“Sir, this is the Tokyo Shimbun!”
The press corps that had gathered knocked on the door of the National Assembly building.
The LDP members were completely pale and trembling.
“shit!”
Everyone scattered and marched to their respective offices.
‘Let me live for myself first!’
The LDP members who arrived at the office were breathing heavily.
“We must oppose the Foreign Private Debt Freeze Act! And of course, raise the inheritance tax!”
I felt like my throat was being strangled, so I roughly pulled down my tie.
“We must quickly convey this resolution to the next head of the Jeong family.”
There’s a problem.
“How do I convey this, and through whom?”
No one knows who the next head of the Jeong family is, where he lives, or who he is contacted through.
“Damn, I don’t know anything about him, and he’s been looking into my every detail.”
It was a scary thing.
I feel like there’s a sniper hiding in the dark, aiming at me with his rifle.
The Liberal Democratic Party members of the House of Representatives, who had no fear in the world, could not help but break out in a cold sweat.
“It is a hundred times better to bow down to the head of the Jeong family than to be disgraced and stripped of your seat.”
Power is something that once you grab it, you can’t let it go.
They could not easily give up the power they enjoyed.
Politicians’ specialty is unity and division.
Changing one’s intentions like turning over one’s hand depending on the situation was a strategy and a virtue.

The president’s chair, given to him by the Southeast Skunk, was well worth the price.
I swept the leather away with satisfaction.
I really liked how firm and fluffy it was.
“Do you like it that much?”
“That’s exactly my style.”
“I knew it.”
The southeastern skunk smiled proudly.
“There is no child in this world who does not like milkshakes.”
You got it wrong.
I pushed the milkshake, which had a strong odor, across the desk in my office.
“Don’t they sell double-crossing tea here? They put two eggs on top of each other.”
“No, why the Ssanghwacha… … .”
“It’s a shame that it’s not there, but coffee is good too.”
Ever since I became a child, whenever I wanted to drink coffee, everyone would try to stop me as if it were poison.
The only things I was allowed to drink were milk, soy milk, and orange juice.
So, the tea that I had to enjoy while crying was Ssanghwacha!
My mouth watered at the thought of that fragrant caffeine dope I’d been missing.
Even if I freeze to death, if I say “Iced Americano…” you won’t understand.
“I’d like my black coffee with more water and some ice cubes on it, please.”
“How could you turn down a milkshake and have black coffee… … .”
The southeastern skunk accepted the milkshake with disbelief.
Then, without hesitation, he drank it through the straw.
The southeastern skunk quickly emptied a cup of milkshake and sneaked a plate of snacks.
“How about a sweet snack?”
Cookies, cakes, jellies, caramels, chocolates, candies, and ice creams are neatly arranged by type.
“Don’t you have any rice cakes or popcorn? If you don’t have any, at least some dry bread.”
“Huh?”
“Of course you know that star candies are a delicacy with hardtack, right?”
“oh my god…….”
The skunk from the southeast looked at me like I was some strange alien creature.
Then, he reached out and ate the chocolate cookies and chocolate chips on the snack plate, crunching them up.
He wiped away the cookie crumbs from the corner of his mouth and rummaged through his suit pockets.
“If you’re chewing gum… … .”
“Rather than chewing gum, I’d rather chew beef jerky.”
When I was young, I sold gum on the subway for a long time.
If it’s gum, I’m really sick of it.
“It’s perfect as a drinking snack. If you don’t have it, you can also have some rat poison.”
“How did I end up with such old-fashioned tastes… … .”
What? Why? What!
What’s wrong with my taste?
But it’s true that my mouth is a little boring.
“Do you smoke?”
“Yes, of course.”
“Then just give me one silver pill.”
“Eundan… … .”
Silver sticks were mainly carried around by older men who smoked cigarettes.
It was to cover up bad breath.
“Since there are so many, it wouldn’t be noticeable even if I gave them one or two.”
“Seongjun wouldn’t carry around something like Eundan.”
“In the old days, if you ran an errand for the men who worked at the factory to buy makgeolli, you would get a few silver pills as payment for the errand.”
The shantytown of Guro-dong was a poor neighborhood.
The old men used to giggle, saying it felt like taking medicine.
When I listened to it, it really did taste like medicine.
That was so good.
“Huh, just listening to you, I’d think you lived by digging up and eating kudzu roots while fleeing during the Korean War.”
“It would be nice if I could dig up some kudzu roots and eat them. At least they’re fresh.”
I turned the pages of the ledger and muttered indifferently.
“Have you ever tried to eat bread with rat poison on it because you were so hungry? If you did, you would really scream up and down until the sky sang.”
“… … .”
“Even though it was a watermelon rind that had been thrown away, I was grateful and ate it, wondering what kind of fruit it was.”
“… … .”
“If you don’t have that, you have no choice but to steal dog food. If you get bitten, it really hurts.”
“… … .”
I turned another page, annotating the ledger.
“You can buy two packages of ramen with the money you pay for one bag of chips, so why bother?”
“… … .”
“No matter how well you eat, you have to eat three meals a day, so it’s a waste to miss out on a chance to eat a meal because you’re eating a snack.”
“… … … .”
“Instead of eating junk food like milkshakes or cookies, it’s better to take health supplements like Mr. Shim. From a nutritional standpoint… … .”
Huh?
Why is everyone looking at me like this?
The southeast skunk looked back at his men with a grim expression.
“Gourmet! Come find the most expensive and best-skilled artisan restaurant in this area!”
“yes!”
“Make a list by type, including Korean, Western, Japanese, Chinese, and snack food!”
“yes!”
The southeastern skunk glanced around.
“If you’re traveling abroad, a food tour is a must.”
The southeastern skunk tapped the ground with the toe of his shoe, snickering.
“I’ll raid the department store’s food section and pack you a bunch of snacks and fruits by type.”
The awkward hair-sweeping was a bonus.
“Don’t eat the silver lining, don’t eat the fruit peels, don’t even look at the dog food, and don’t eat the rat poison.”
“… … .”
“Hmm, what should I feed him so that people will say I fed him well?”
It was a useless worry.
I shook my head and turned on the television.
Even though it wasn’t regular broadcast time, there was a news flash.
-While the Social Democratic Party announced an emergency press conference, a large number of Liberal Democratic Party members stormed into the press conference room.
-The LDP members locked the press conference room door and demanded a candid dialogue with the Social Democratic Party, but the Social Democratic Party refused.
– There was an exchange of crude accusations against each other, and eventually, members of both parties got into a group fight, resulting in about 60 people sustaining minor and major injuries.
A Liberal Democratic Party member suddenly appeared in front of an NHKS live broadcast correspondent.
In the aftermath of the fight, his hair and clothes were a mess, and his face was covered in bruises.
He snatched the correspondent’s microphone and shouted urgently.
-I am against the Foreign Private Debt Freeze Act!
Another LDP member snatched the microphone back and shouted even louder.
-I think Japan’s inheritance tax is too high compared to other advanced European countries!
The Liberal Democratic Party members rushed in and were busy putting their faces in front of the microphone.
-The special surtax on foreigners should also be abolished!
-We don’t want to fight!
-I wish for reconciliation and coexistence, peace and prosperity!
There was no way to confirm who the message was intended for.
