Chapter 194 Ariok’s Demon SwordPolitics in Japan is a cabinet system. The ruling party appoints the prime minister and ministers, and forms a cabinet to govern politics.
There were several parties, but I wonder if it really has any meaning. Since the same party has continued to occupy the position of the ruling party for the past 30 years, it can be said that it is a one-party dominant party system.
Sadao Nakamura is currently a major opposition party leader and still maintains a strong physique in his 70s.
Even though there is a prime minister in the Cabinet, he was a person with strong political influence, saying, ‘Japan is ruled by Sadao Nakamura!’
He was a master of kendo and served as president of the Japan Kendo Federation for quite some time.
Awakening among older people is rare.
They enter the dungeon of awakening, but most of them fail due to physical limitations.
However, Sadao Nakamura overcame his age and became an Awakened.
With the power of magical power, he became much healthier than before he was awakened.
He collects swords as a hobby.
There are many famous Japanese swords in the collection, and items were added to the collection after awakening.
He was a very possessive or greedy person, and he did not choose any means and methods for his own greed. In particular, this characteristic worked even more strongly in the collection of swords.
“It seems certain that he possesses Itsushi’s magic sword. But it seems difficult to figure out where he hid it.”
The person reporting to Sadao Nakamura was the investigator who questioned Tae-seong Yoon.
“It keeps putting pressure on him. And if you ask for the sword slowly, I’ll give it to you. These bastards called Hunters aren’t listening anymore. USA! China! russia! No matter where I go, there is never a case where the Hunter rebels against the government!”
Even when the Hunter said that he was a ‘new samurai’ class, he laughed and passed it over. Even when they got together to form a guild, he just laughed, thinking about what the lowly guys would do together.
However, the influence of the guild was getting stronger, and the guilds with strong power were sometimes rebelling against the government’s decision.
Sadao Nakamura didn’t really like this.
“At this point, send a clear signal to the guilds. If you too rebel, you can disappear like the Himura Guild. Do you understand?”
The Prime Minister, who is the head of the Japanese cabinet, bowed his head, answering that he simply knew.
“Who would be better as the new defense minister and foreign minister?”
The person recommended by Sadao Nakamura becomes the new minister. It was said that he was running Japanese politics behind the scenes.
“It has been over 10 years since I left politics. Do I have to tell you all of that? That’s up to you to decide. I don’t want you to work like an idiot. Bring Itsushi’s Demon Sword, and take care of that Josenjin and Himura cubs. This time, you must definitely crush the guild. Do you understand?”
There are politicians who lobby Sadao Nakamura every year. It is up to the Prime Minister to choose among them, but he dares to ask.
The phrase ‘make it up to you!’ meant ‘make it up to your liking!’
He mentioned the magic sword before the guild. In other words, the greed of the demon sword is stronger than the task of crushing the guild.
I was interested in the 5th grade dungeon and got information about the magic sword.
After watching the live broadcast of the incident, the desire for the magic sword grew stronger.
I thought of just going back to Korea, but the actions and words of the person investigating the case of the Minister of Defense Itsushi was a bit strange, so Yoon Tae-seong is still being interrogated by the Ministry of Defense.
Since the Ministry of Defense was not a prison, it used a place like a sukjik room as a prison cell.
Soldiers guard in front of him, and Yoon Tae-seong goes back and forth between it and the interrogation room.
Tetsuya Himura was also in the sleeping room.
“It seems like I still want a magic sword, so why do you keep being questioned?”
Even so, we got to know each other quite well inside, so the tone and accent of Yoon Tae-sung also changed.
They seem to be almost the same age.
“That… I don’t know. It seems that the Minister of Defense is trying to shift all responsibility for the incident to me.”
“There is a strong political purpose for that kind of thing.”
It’s not because it’s really Himura Tetsuya’s responsibility. There must be some political purpose.
‘So you asked me that?’
-Doesn’t Tetsuya Himura know the dangers of magic swords?
-Why didn’t Tetsuya Himura stop him even though he knew the danger?
Well, you ask such useless questions a few times in the middle. Taesung Yoon replied, ‘Ask Himura Tetsuya directly!’
‘It doesn’t seem like the Defense Ministry.’
In fact, it was a bit strange that the Minister of Defense suddenly requested an item in the first place.
Is there anyone higher than the Minister of Defense?
Prime Minister?
‘Can you order the Minister of Defense to do this and that?’
Maybe that’s not the case.
‘It seems that the one above is behind.’
The door opened and a high-ranking soldier entered.
“Tae-Sung Yoon.”
Yoon Tae-sung got up from the hard and uncomfortable bed in the sleeping room. As he followed him, his lips went up.
The investigator would think that he was investigating Yoon Tae-sung, but Yoon Tae-seong took special measures against him as such suspicions arose.
mind control.
If you use this skill properly, it’s not difficult to find out information. However, it is proceeding very slowly so that the other party cannot notice it.
Then you can control its mind or turn it into a puppet.
‘At this point, if I manipulate my mind a little with the compulsion, I think I’ll spit out the information I want.’
While waiting in the interrogation room, the investigator opened the door and entered.
He always has a friendly smile. He never gets angry or bullies. It was only softly threatening with the content of his words.
“hello? This… the investigation is taking longer than expected. I ask for your understanding that it is inevitable because it is a case of the Minister of Defense.”
He still said the same thing as he sat down. The question is probably the same as yesterday.
Tae-Sung Yoon always responded kindly with the same words. But this time, Tae-Sung Yoon asked the question first.
A flow of magical power engulfed the investigator.
“How long will the above be investigating this case? I get tired of hearing the same question every day.”
“I do not know? I am just following orders.”
Not to investigate, but to follow orders? Of course, he may have ordered the investigation above as a business. But Yoon Tae-sung didn’t think like that.
“Huh? You seem to be a fairly high-ranking person in the Ministry of Justice, but it seems that there are people who give orders.”
“What can I do? It’s difficult to maintain this position once you get out of Sadao-sama’s eyes.”
“okay. If you ask me the same question, my answer will be the same anyway, so why don’t you tell me honestly? Does that person named Sadao want a magic sword?”
“Well… because he is a famous sword collector. If there is a sword that he likes, he is the one who unconditionally collects it.”
“Ah… that’s why you kept asking me about the magic sword. Are you sending me and Tetsuya Himura to prison in connection with the case of Defense Minister Itsushi?”
“Haha, not that much. Tetsuya Himura is so out of sight, it can’t be helped, but you’re a bit difficult. The Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs is also continuing to protest. So, as long as you pass the magic sword, you will be able to return to Korea safely.”
“It’s a very dangerous sword, but I don’t know why you keep getting greedy. What if I don’t pass it?”
“Then I wonder if it would be possible to get along with Tetsuya Himura. Sadao-sama has that much power.”
“Who is Sadao-sama and has that much power?”
“You don’t know Nakamura Sadao-sama? If you want to do politics in Japan, you have to listen to him. He protested in Korea to no avail. So I think… you better just cooperate. Where is the magic sword? It is a dangerous item, so we will keep it safely in Japan. Inside Sadao-sama’s safe, it’s the safest place in Japan.”
‘Are you funny? You mean Sadao Nakamura?’
How do you know Tae-Sung Yoon is a Japanese politician? Moreover, Sadao Nakamura was a politician from a very long time ago, over 70.
But you can see just how greedy he is.
‘Big politicians who rule Japan in the dark, what are they like?’
Yoon Tae-seong used a different skill.
It was a skill that forcibly manipulated the mind, much stronger and more restrained than mind control.
“Aren’t you pathetic about receiving orders like this from Sadao Nakamura? Don’t you feel ashamed? Sometimes when you see that person, you want to kill him.”
Yoon Tae-sung’s skills and remarks changed the investigator’s expression moment by moment.
To be honest, this kind of mind must exist in one corner. Also, since I’ve been using mind control so far, it wasn’t difficult to forcefully operate it.
That is, the repulsive force of mental manipulation is very small.
“Sadao Nakamura is the main culprit in ruining Japan. Isn’t it? If you kill him… you become the hero who saved Japan.”
“But that person is… Sadao Nakamura!”
He had a strong obsession with ‘I can’t kill him!’
His compulsion and Yoon Tae-sung’s words collide with the compulsion he exerts.
The investigator expressed the pain with a facial expression as if his head was throbbing.
“Are you going to continue living with that shame?”
Shame is the driving force behind human behavior. Shame creates anger, and anger creates action.
There was clearly such a shame inside him.
“Be a hero!”
Everyone has a desire to be a hero.
“If you kill Sadao Nakamura, you can become a Japanese hero! He’s ruining Japan! And anyway… he will kill you if he gets his hand. The dead don’t talk. Wouldn’t it be better if you kill him first?”
That may not be the case, but Tae-Sung Yoon instilled this obsession with the investigator by compulsion.
“I think it would be better to think about it after you die.”
His eyes were complicated by confusion. Perhaps the more I think about this issue, the stronger the obsession that Tae-Sung Yoon has cultivated.
Because people usually tend to keep going the way they think.
“Are you Sadao Nakamura? Shit! I thought it was that disgusting old man.”
“who?”
“He is a giant in Japanese politics. There are rumors of manipulating Japan while swaying the cabinet from behind, and there are obscene rumors of having sex with all kinds of celebrities using power. There are rumors that they actually dominate the yakuza of Tokyo. In the past, Yakuza were used to eliminate enemies.”
“Does it look like it was taken by a great person?”
The person’s personality may be sloppy, but his abilities are definitely great.
“An old man with senility.”
Tetsuya Himura said that he was senile, but his expression was not good.
This is because Sadao Nakamura is a person with great power, and such a person is aimed at the Himura Guild.
For political purposes to stamp out the guild, the first target was the Himura Guild.
Of course, the direct target was Tetsuya Himura, the head of the guild, and he seemed to be trying to send him to prison somehow using this as an excuse.
“Something interesting is going to happen soon. If you are such a great old man, as you said, Japan will be a bit noisy.”
Tae-Sung Yoon was not worried, so he smiled.
It wasn’t Korea, it was Japan, and there is a very easy way to return to Korea.
Moreover, even if a major incident occurs, there is little to be found out.
He was very troubled all night, and his face was emaciated. But his eyes were determined and he seemed to have decided something.
I checked the pistol in my pocket.
There are several traditional-style houses on a large site that can almost be called a palace.
When the front door opened, I got into the car and went inside.
The owner of this castle, who lives like a king, was Sadao Nakamura. No matter how powerful a politician he was, how much money would he have to live in a place like this?
Rumors that he was the boss of the Yakuza were true, not just rumors.
He was very nervous.
‘You must kill Sadao! Only then can Japan be safe! If it goes like this… Japan will be defeated!’
