Title: Life39 Block
Someone: Today, it was announced by Chief Cabinet Secretary Anzai in an interview after a standard cabinet meeting that Prime Minister Kasuga has plans to inspect the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant.
He was asked for his motive as to why an active Prime Minister would visit this nuclear power plant that still has an unusually high level of danger to it as well as why he would choose this time to do so.

Page 168:
Reporters: Prime Minister!! Would you please tell us why you decided to go to Fukushima?!
Kasuga: Well, in regards to that...
Why did humans create something they themselves cannot handle?
I feel there's a need for me to find that out with my own eyes.

Page 169:
Reporter: Are you aware of the worried voices regarding you setting foot in such a dangerous area, Prime Minister?
Kasuga: At that place you call dangerous, there are people working to prevent the world's worst nuclear accident.
I would like to be able to listen to those people directly and learn about the situation on site.
I think that going to the actual site where such a thing is being done is a natural duty for a prime minister.

Tanida Kouichi President ["President is small]
Reporter: Prime Minister Kasuga's sudden announcement will probably also cause confusion at Fukushima as well.
I can't see this as anything but a political performance done in order to boost approval ratings.

Guy: Well, I mean if he's going, he'll be bringing along a lot of security and such, and that's gonna cost taxpayer money, ain't it?
Is there anything he can do by going to a nuclear power plant anyhow?
Hasn't he got other stuff to do?

Page 171:
Jyun: We're really making progress.
Brilliant.
Nishida: Seriously.
Don't fall in love with him.
[Let's hear it for sarcasm.]

Riyon: The nuclear power plant...
I went to see it a little earlier.

Page 173:
Kasuga: I'm so jealous of how you can fly.
If I go, it's such a big deal...
Riyon: But
you seriously gotta be careful.
That place...
is the real deal.
Kasuga: That's why I'm going, isn't it?
SFX: PUUUPU
SFX: UUUUUUH

Page 174:
Kasuga: Yes.
Guy: Prime Minister... President Nakamura from Kantou Electric is on the line.
Kasuga: Mm.
So he's come...?
Riyon: President... so he's that Village big wig, huh...?
Kasuga: This is Kasuga.
Nakamura: Prime Minister Kasuga.
It's been quite some time.
This is Nakamura from Kantou Electric.
I've seen your leadership as of late to be extremely reassuring, Prime Minister.
Kasuga: Thanks for the compliment.

Page 175:
Nakamura: While we're on the subject, Prime Minister, I heard about your coming to visit my company's Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant,
is that officially decided?
Kasuga: Mm.
That's my intention.
Nakamura: Well, the truth is
I think the situation may still too severe for a Prime Minister to visit.
Kasuga: Oh?
Why is that?

Page 176:
Nakamura: Radiation is still strong on the premises. It's covered with places where people cannot enter.
I'm question as to whether it's a place I can invite my country's Prime Minister.
Kasuga: Have you ever entered the site, President Nakamura?
Nakamura: ...Huh?
Well... A few times, due to my position.
Kasuga: I'm glad to hear it.
Then would you guide me on the day I visit there?
I'd like it if you told me which places are safe and which are dangerous.

Page 177:
Kasuga: And you really must show me the Unit 4 reactor spent nuclear fuel pool.
I'll be looking forward to it.

Page 178:
[Man with a plan.]

Page 179:
Riyon: The amount of black balls is totally unlike any amount from before...
Can I repel all that?

Page 180-181:
[Money shot.]

Page 182:
Daiki: What's Kasuga doing going to Fukushima?
Can you see?

Page 183:
Kubo: Sorry, Daiki-san.
It has an incredibly powerful block on it... I can't read it.
I know he
has some other goal, but...
the Guardian Spirit is using her entire soul to protect him.
But Prime Minister Kasuga has incredible malice headed towards him from the people opposing him from all over Japan.
I wonder how long they'll last...?

Page 184:
Kubo: Even if she does protect the Prime Minister through it again, the overflowed remaining ill will will spread to those around him
make them sick
and take then away.
