Neon is a country with extremely rigid classes.

It is very difficult for civilians to want to cross classes.

Even the members of the National Assembly have played the electoral system into a hereditary system, and in the last general election, a member of the House of Representatives was too old to participate in the election, and directly published the news, hoping that voters would vote for his son.

Then his son was really elected with a large number of votes.

Although the Hayakawa family has not made similar remarks publicly, they have actually done no less than other famous families.

Back in the last generation.

The Hayakawa family had a firm grip on the seats in the Diet.

By the time of Shiori Hayakawa's father's generation, her father, uncle, and uncle were all members of the Diet, but two were in the House of Representatives and one in the Senate.

Ninomiya Ritsu looked at the information on Google, about the Hayakawa family, and was a little shocked for a while.

Ordinary people like him.

Normally, it is impossible to fight against a behemoth like the Hayakawa family.

100 years of accumulation.

How can he fight against a mere common man?

Unless he graduated from the University of Tokyo, he became a prosecutor, and then rose through the ranks, working his way up to the top prosecutor.

But want to sit in that position.

Not only does it have the support of big forces, but it also takes a long time, and you can't even think about it until you're about 50 years old.

Even if he gets up, Shiori Hayakawa can't afford to wait.

This extremely solidified class society made him unable to do anything for a while, and he could not find any breakthrough.

"Ninomiya-kun, have you encountered any troubles?"

Yoina Ichinose changed into her private clothes, walked out of the bedroom, and said in a gentle tone: "If you have troubles, you can talk to the teacher, although it may not be able to help you, at least it can give you ideas." ”

"It's not a big deal."

Ritsu Ninomiya smiled and changed the subject: "If Yona-sensei is ready, then let's hurry up, it's not good to keep Officer Awahara waiting for a long time." ”

"Let's go now."

Yona Ichinose hurriedly responded and followed Ritsu Ninomiya to the restaurant he had booked.

The two made an appointment with Officer Awahara today.

I want to express my gratitude to him for helping him last time, and at the same time maintain our relationship.

The three met in front of a Japanese-style restaurant.

"Officer Awahara, I've been waiting for a long time."

Ninomiya Ritsu didn't expect that he and Yona Ichinose arrived at their destination ten minutes earlier, but Yoji Awabara arrived earlier than them, and he didn't mean to make a big deal at all.

"Ninomiya-kun, Ichinose-san, I'm here early."

Yoji Awahara hurriedly responded, if someone else invited him to dinner, let alone arrive early, it would be good not to be half an hour late.

But the second house is different.

He is the eighth dan of kendo who communicates with the old leader Nagasaki Shozo on an equal footing.

If this is to snub the law of the second house.

One day, in front of the old leader Nagasaki Masazo, he said a few unpleasant things about him.

Then his career is basically over.

A person like him with no background can climb to his current position, but he relies on Nagasaki Masazzo's support.

"Let's go in and talk."

Ninomiya Ritsu proposed that the three of them enter the independent private room of the restaurant, and the dishes will be served in a short time.

"Officer Awahara, thank you so much last time."

Since he was under the age of twenty, Ninomiya Ritsu didn't toast, but just touched the cup with Awahara Yoji: "If Officer Awahara hadn't arrived in time, I would have been in big trouble with Teacher Yona that day." ”

"Don't say that."

Yoji Awahara lowered his posture: "Dealing with criminal cases is the duty of our police, even if it wasn't me who went that day, if it was any policeman, he would never sit idly by." ”

"Officer Awahara is too modest."

Ritsu Ninomiya said as he pushed an envelope with a check for three million yen: "Officer Awabara, this is a small gift I have prepared for you, and I hope you don't dislike it." ”

"Ninomiya-kun, what are you doing!"

Yoji Awahara hurriedly refused: "I'm a friend of the Nagasaki chief, if I accept your gift, what will the Nagasaki chief think of me in the future?" Please take it back quickly. ”

"Officer Awahara, how can there be any reason to take back the gifts that were sent?"

Ninomiya Ritsu hurriedly said: "In addition, I have a small matter, I want to ask Officer Awahara to help, I hope Officer Awahara can 'take care of' Naoto Ando within the rules, and don't let this kind of criminals with knives come out and endanger society." ”

"Indeed, as Ninomiya-kun said, this kind of criminal can't let him come out and endanger society again." Yoji Awahara accepted the envelope, glanced at the check inside, and smiled brightly.

Although Ritsu Ninomiya doesn't give him money.

He didn't have a problem in his heart.

After all, what he values is Ninomiya Ritsu's own potential, as well as his connections.

But Ritsu Ninomiya offered to give him a sum of money.

This made him have a good impression of Ergong Law in his heart, and even made up his mind that next time Ergong Law still has something to help him, he will definitely do it for him as soon as possible, it is better to say that he likes to do things for a 'sensible' person like Ergong Law the most.

I'm done talking about today's topic.

Yoji Awahara relaxed, and casually chatted: "Three days later, it will be the main match of the Sword Saint Title Battle, and Ninomiya-kun is the eighth stage, do you plan to participate?" ”

"Naturally, there is."

Ritsu Ninomiya replied: "I remember that Officer Awabara studied under Nagasaki Hachidan, and I think he is also a top kendo master, but do you plan to participate in the Sword Master title battle together?" ”

"Ninomiya-kun is too complimentary."

Yoji Awahara sighed: "To be honest, I'm only a sixth-dan kendo and I don't have the qualifications to directly participate in the main competition, so I signed up for the qualifiers before, and I wanted to compete for the few places that advanced to the main competition, but unfortunately I failed." ”

He took a hard sip of wine.

I couldn't help but regret it: "The allure of the title of Sword Master is too great for a kendoer, and a large number of strong players who were not famous in the past have emerged in this qualifier, and I was eliminated without even qualifying for the group stage." ”

"How fierce is the competition?" Ninomiya Ritsu was frightened.

According to the rules of kendo title fights, the 7th, 8th, and 9th dans do not need to participate in the qualifiers.

So normally, the qualifiers are the strongest in the sixth dan.

As a sixth-dan master, Yoji Awahara does not dare to guarantee that he will enter the top ten in the qualifiers and get one of the ten promotion places, but at least he will not even fail to qualify in the early group stage.

"So Ninomiya-kun, you have to be careful."

Yoji Awahara reminded: "If you want to compete for the title of Sword Master, you must be in good shape these days, and you can't be careless in the competition, I am worried that some famous kendo families with a long heritage will also participate in the title battle for the title of Sword Master."

"For those kendo masters.

"The title of Juggernaut is about to become their obsession.

"Coupled with the fact that the previous generation of Juggernaut title holders is deceased, everyone is playing fair, and it is the best time to get the title."
