Title: Life34 "One Person 1 Million"

Page 76:
Riyon: The Core Government has become active, but...
this morning, the attacks on the old man are only getting worse.
Paper: Prime Minister Kasuga
Suspected of Accepting Bribes [Vertical]
Rinzen
20 million
corporate donation [Horizontal]
Reporters: Minister!
Minister!
Is it true that you accepted a bribe of 20 million 11 years ago from "Rinzen"?
Riyon: He's working his life away for the sake of this country, but they're holding him back.

Page 77:
Riyon: After he declared he'd stop the country from using nuclear power, there's been a mountain of people who wanna crush him.
Their malice is turning into black balls and attacking him.
"Don't get cocky!"
"Are you trying to wreck my business?!"
"Get lost, Kasuga."
"Go to hell."

[Look at all that bad karma.]

Page 79:
Guy: Prime minister, you've been getting a lot of questioning into your campaign donations today, haven't you?
Do you think that's not a problem?
Kasuga: In all honesty, I have no memory of whether or not I received anything from them or not.
I truly don't know.
But I don't think that is enough to be pardoned,
so let's pay them that entire amount back in full.
In a method the people will accept.
Guy: What do you plan to do exactly?

Page 80:
Kasuga: We'll split the costs.
You all pay, too.
Guy: ...
Huh?
That's...
Kasuga: So generally speaking,
that's about 1 million per person.
We'll recognize how undisciplined our management was and honestly apologize.
But the people will not easily forgive how the huge amount of 20 million moved like that.
So we'll push forward an air of all of the cabinet ministers following me up to the forefront.

Page 81:
Kasuga: That way, we'll also be sending a message that this cabinet is monolithic, going into denuclearization.
Two birds with one stone.
Guy: But
I'm not sure if that's really possible...
Kasuga: Cabinet Minister Morita.
Our country's largest nuclear power plant is in your electoral district. The revenue that industry makes supports the lives of many people.
If we cannot gain the consent of those people,
the Kasuga cabinet will fall as well.

Page 82:
Kasuga: Even without nuclear power, we need to display a divine move that will give the region financial stability.
Guy: Prime minister,
does such a move truly exist?
Kasuga: It does.

Page 83:
Kasuga: Very soon, I'll announce that in order to appeal to the people's confidence.
Guy: Oh?
The general election?
Kasuga: Yes.
I'll definitely get you all elected!

Page 84:
Kasuga: So organize everything around you and avoid making any gaffes.
And try to find a way to earn the understanding from your hometown.
And, I'll need everyone's million yen, kay? [Heart]
Guy: Is he serious about splitting it?
No, no, it's a brilliant idea, don't you think?
It's like right now, the prime minister is really possessed by the supernatural.

Kasuga: Daiki-kun.
Daiki: Could I have a moment of your time, Prime Minister?

Page 87:
Daiki: It seems you've been taking care of my father recently.
Kasuga: Mm.
Daiki: I'm sorry for the inconvenience.
Kasuga: Not at all.
Rest assured.
Daiki: Thanks to you, there's been a disconnect between father and son.
So Minister,
could you perhaps give my father a message?

Page 88:
Daiki: "I no longer think of you as my father."
And I just heard this from my strategist, but...

Page 89:
You can read people's mind when you touch a person's body, Prime Minister.
Kasuga: That may
be true...
Daiki: If so, I'm all right with it.
My resolve has not changed.
Go ahead.
Please read my mind.
