Friday, July 28th, afternoon, Shadow Spade Village Bus Terminal, Shadow Spade Village Inn.

The bus stopped and dropped off the tourists, changed the crew members and drove away, and six people, Mori, Ran, Conan, Sonoko, Yamazaki, and Midako, also got off the bus.

Lan asked Maori, "Now you can say it, what the hell are you doing here, Dad?"

"Well," Maori said embarrassedly, "I'm here to watch TV." ”

"Huh?" Ran, Conan, Sonoko, Yamazaki, and Midako were all surprised.

Mori smiled happily, "The Chichibu Broadcasting Bureau is going to broadcast two of Miss Yoko's previous concerts today. ”

"Then you can go to Chichibu City. "It's much better there than here." ”

"Well...... "Maori was a little embarrassed.

"It can't be somewhere else, is it?" asked the garden.

"Well," said Maori, with a weak heart, "there's Miss Yoko's movie series tomorrow, so let's go over in the afternoon and walk this way closer." ”

"......" Ran, Conan, Sonoko, Yamazaki, and Mei Daiko were speechless together.

"Okay, I'm going to watch TV. Maori said, "Leave it to your own devices." After saying that, he shouted, "Yoko-san, I'm coming" and ran to the hotel.

"Daddy!" Lan complained.

"Forget it, it's not bad to walk at night, mosquitoes in this kind of place must be very powerful. Yuan Zi smiled.

"Alright, let's go and see what's good here. Mei Daiko said. ……

Shadow Spade Village Inn, restaurant.

Midaiko looked at the menu and asked the female shopkeeper in her thirties, "Do you have game here?"

The female shopkeeper smiled: "I'm really sorry, miss, we don't have these things here, but we have abundant aquatic products here, you see this river fresh sashimi, it is definitely worth the money." ”

Mei Daiko asked, "Then are there any live chickens and ducks here?"

The female shopkeeper smiled: "I'm sorry, my chickens and ducks here are all frozen, and the main reason for raising chickens in our village is to let them lay eggs, not to eat." Look at this mountain treasure hot pot, it is guaranteed that you will not be disappointed. ”

"Ah, really. "Mei Daiko is deflated.

"Boss, we want both of these dishes you mentioned. Yuan Zi smiled, "You look at some more specialties." ”

"Okay. The shopkeeper left with a bow.

"Lan, Yuanzi, I don't want to stay in this place, my brother and I will go back first, remember to call me at night. Mei Daiko said.

"Oh well. Lan laughed.

"Walk slowly. Yuan Zi smiled.

After that, Yamazaki and Midaiko leave the hotel and meet Natsume-sama, who seems to have been waiting for an opportunity to find Yamazaki.

Yamazaki smiled and asked, "Miss Natsume, where is the emergency heliport in the village, can you take us there?"

"Yes, it's right behind the village hospital. Miss Natsume said, "Please go this way." ”

"Midaiko, you call, I'll talk to Miss Natsume. Yamazaki said.

"Okay, brother. Mei Daiko said.

Miss Natsume said a little nervously, "My name is Natsume Tako, this gentleman ......"

"My name is Yamazaki," Yamazaki said, "I'll be straight to the point, if you're willing to let me help you, please tell the truth, if you don't want to do that and just want to act your own way, then please do it yourself." That needle is only useful if you find it on the spot, and now it doesn't mean that it has something to do with you, so you can rest assured. ”

"Help me, for what?" asked Tako Natsume.

"Because you have brought me into this. Yamazaki laughed, "I ruined your plan, and as compensation, I should help you complete another plan." ”

"I," Natsume Tako sighed after hesitating for a moment, "I said, this matter has been in my heart for several years, and it may be better to say it." ”

"Listen up. Yamazaki said.

At this time, the three of them walked to their destination, the helipad behind the Shadow Spade Village Hospital.

Natsume Tako said: "This matter starts with this Shadow Spade Village, which has always been agriculture-oriented, and has been living an ordinary and stable life thanks to the protection policy of the Agricultural Cooperative. In 91, the previous head of the village resigned, and Takehiko Funaki, who ran the direct sales office of agricultural products, advocated improving the village's economy with the tertiary industry and creating more jobs so that young people who wanted to go out to find work were retained. ”

"It's just that it's easier said than done. After taking office, Takehiko Funaki wanted the villagers to pay for the establishment of a tourist club and the construction of the village road to buy buses, but there were few responders, so he only renovated the hotel and rented a sightseeing bus. ”

"Also, the life of people in the city is not the same as that of people in the countryside, and their living habits are different, which makes many people in the village dissatisfied with tourists. This creates two factions, the pro and the opposition. The leader of the opposition is Okumurayoshi, because once a tourist trampled on his farmland, so he didn't like tourists, and the more opposition turned into hatred. ”

"The transportation in Shadow Spade Village is inconvenient, the scenery is not excellent, the people who come for sightseeing are not as many as the hundreds of thousands of people imagined, only about tens of thousands, the economy naturally does not improve much, and there are naturally fewer jobs, and the young people in the village are still gone. It's just that at the end of the year, the tourism industry is still somewhat beneficial to the economic income of Shadow Shovel Village, so the throne of Takehiko Funaki is still stable, and the tourism policy continues. Later, when there was negative news about agricultural products in Saitama Prefecture, Kagesho Village's agricultural income was also affected, and the tourism industry became more valuable, and Takehiko Funaki's position as village chief became more secure. ”

"In '93, my father came here for sightseeing, but he was in a traffic accident and died with a companion. At first, in order to shirk responsibility, the Kagesho Village Tourism Club said that my father and that person were responsible for the accident. However, paper can't contain the fire, and as soon as the lawsuit starts, the truth will soon be revealed. ”

"On that day, a drunk passenger on the bus harassed the conductor at the time, she is now the innkeeper, she has resigned since the accident, she has a stake in the village tourism club, so the village chief asked her to manage the hotel. ”

"My father stepped forward to stop the drunk, and the two got into a scuffle, and in addition to the tourists, there were nine villagers, including Okumurayoshi, but they all stood by and watched with the mentality of watching the excitement or fearing something, and finally my father and the drunk man met the driver of the bus in a scuffle. ”

"The bus was about to pass the dangerous turn that you saw, and the driver overturned and slid down the hill. My father and the drunk died on the spot, and several passengers were injured. ”

Speaking of this, Natsume Tako's tears flowed, "If, if someone had helped my father at that time, things wouldn't have been like this. ”

"How was the lawsuit decided?" asked Midaiko.

Natsume Tako said, "The chief judge ruled that my father was not responsible, and that drunk man and all the passengers in the car were responsible to varying degrees, and the biggest responsibility was the Kagesho Village Tourism Club. ”

Midaiko asked, "Then you're here for revenge?"

Natsume Tako said, "Yes, after graduating from university, I came to Kagesho Village for sightseeing, and I pretended to like it here and stayed, and entered the Kagesho Village Tourist Club. After my father died, I took my mother's surname, so none of them found out. ”

"The Shadow Spade Village Tourism Club lost a lot of money, and had to buy the broken sightseeing bus, which was repaired and put into operation, but after driving for a while, it broke down again and had to be scrapped. ”

Takehiko Funaki put the idea on the village bus, and in the name of nostalgia, the village council passed a proposal that the village bus should be used as a sightseeing bus during holidays and peak tourist seasons. This led to a conflict between the pro-faction led by Takehiko Funaki and the opposition led by Okumurayoshi, and the relationship between the two sides became increasingly stiff. ”

Yamazaki said, "I see, you want to take revenge on the whole village. ”

"Why do you say that?" said Tako Natsume.

Yamazaki said: "You must have done it after the fight, and you must have carried it with you all the time, and this is when Mr. Okumura, the leader of the opposition, and the people who agree with it have a quarrel over bus seats and because of the village's tourism policy." Mr. Okumura is clinging to his seat, and this thing will always happen. ”

"As soon as Mr. Okumura died, the person who had a quarrel with him was the biggest suspect, and now this person is Mr. Yabe. When the time comes, the opposition will not rest on its laurels, and this conflict will not be as simple as fighting. ”

"At that time, as long as the media is notified, the reputation of the village will be over, and the village chief will probably have to resign, and the associated tourism industry will also be over, and maybe the whole village will be finished. ”

Natsume Tako said, "You're right, that's how I plan it. ”

Yamazaki smiled, "If that is the case, I didn't ruin your plan, but did you a great favor." ”

Natsume Tako asked, "Oh, what do you mean by that?"

Yamazaki smiled and asked, "What do you say will happen to Shadow Shovel Village after the head of Shadow Shovel Village is replaced by Mr. Okumura?"

"The village chief has been replaced by Okumurayoshi?" Natsume Tako laughed after thinking for a moment, "I see, thank you for stopping me." ”

Midaiko asked, "Understand what?"

Natsume Tako said, "Okumurayoshi suspects Takehiko Funaki of dereliction of duty, and I suspect that Takehiko Funaki does have a problem, because the money earned by the Kagesho Village Tourism Club over the years should not be able to afford a bus, and he hit the idea on the village bus. I am sure that the police will be able to find evidence of Takehiko Funaki's malfeasance and bring him to justice. ”

In this way, the pro-favor faction is bound to be defeated, the opposition is bound to win a great victory, and the leader of the opposition, Okumurayoshi, will definitely become the new village chief. When the time comes, Okumurayoshi will definitely end the tourism industry in the village and let the villagers concentrate on farming. Then the problem came, firstly, the land in the village was limited and there was no new land for young people to cultivate, and secondly, there were not many young people who wanted to stay in this kind of mountain, so the village was also finished. ”

Speaking of this, Natsume Tako saluted Yamazaki, "Thank you, sir, for helping me stay in Okumura Yoshiichi." Then he straightened up and said, "If someone else were to be the village chief, maybe the village's tourism industry would be reopened after a while, but Okumurayoshi hated the village's tourism industry and would never do that." ”

"Well, why do I think we're the bad guys on TV right now?" and we're talking about how to destroy a village." ”

Yamazaki smiled and asked, "Do we have anything to do?"

Mei Daiko said, "No. ”

Yamazaki asked rhetorically, "Since we didn't do anything, how could it be that we destroyed the village?"

"Yes, the responsibility lies with Takehiko Funaki, if it weren't for his selfish dereliction of duty, the road must have been repaired a long time ago, and Okumurayoshi would not have been able to bring him down. Natsume Tako said gloomily, "Maybe, maybe my father will be fine." ”

Mei Daizi said, "That's right. ”

Yamazaki said: "Don't worry, if the Shadow Spade Village is really in trouble, the villagers will let Mr. Okumura change, if he doesn't change, his village chief will be the end, and then there will naturally be someone else to lead the Shadow Spade Village out of the predicament." ”

Mei Daizi smiled: "Yes, that's the truth. ”

Natsume Tako muttered: "It's just that after the pain, it's really hard to say how many people and wealth will be left in the Shadow Shovel Village at that time, let God decide, just like my father's fate." ”

At this time, a helicopter flew over.

Yamazaki said, "Miss Natsume, how about coming with us? With your temperament, it's a bit condescending to stay in this Satoyama, so let's find another job." ”

Natsume Tako said, "It's okay, then thank you very much." I'm studying at the Faculty of Tourism at Seongnam International University, so I'm here to be a bus lady, so let's look at the arrangement. ”

Yamazaki said, "I will." ”

At this time, Natsume Tako saw the red colorful crown on the helicopter and asked, "Are you the children of the top management of the Good Mood Foundation?"

Mei Daizi smiled, "That's my family." ”

Tako Natsume was taken aback, "Really?"

Mei Daizi smiled: "Of course, this can't deceive people." ”

Natsume Tako smiled a little excitedly: "Okay, I'll take a ride, no, a hitchhiker." ”

Yamazaki smiled, "Welcome." ”……

Later, Okumurayoshi reported Takehiko Funaki, and after a police investigation, they found evidence of Takehiko Funaki's dereliction of duty, and Takehiko Funaki was sentenced to five years. ……
