The meeting begins.
Then,
Under the stunned gaze of Hino Eiji, the meeting ended at an absolutely "vigorous" speed.
From the nomination and selection to Wang Ouzi winning with an overwhelming majority of votes, everything went extremely smoothly.
It's like a script with a predetermined ending, and this meeting just acted it out.
A few negative votes did not matter at all to the result, and disappeared without even setting off a small wave.
Hino Eiji was one of those who voted against.
When he voted against it, he believed that not only him, but also other people, had never heard of this man named Oates before today, right?
A person who appears out of nowhere is about to run for the position of Prime Minister who will preside over the overall situation of the country... Isn't this a joke?
He didn't understand anything, and he didn't even have a decent speech, let alone put forward any specific political ideas.
How does this make Eiji Hino believe that this man can lead the country to a better future after being elected as prime minister?
So he voted against it.
However, the reality was exactly the opposite of what he thought.
The vast majority... no, it should be said that more than 95% voted in favor.
Wang Ouzi won with an absolute advantage and became the country's new prime minister.
The result has been decided, and as a member of Congress, Hino Eiji can only accept it.
Because the process of arriving at this result no longer complies with the regulations for the election of prime ministers.
However, at the end of the meeting, when Hino Eiji was worried about whether this man who had just appeared in politics and was elected as the prime minister could manage the country well, as the convener of this parliamentary meeting, the current emperor suddenly announced his abdication. , want to give way to Wang Ouzi.
wtf! ? ?
Huano Eiji was immediately stunned.
In the end what happened?
Is today April Fool's Day?
Facing this obviously unexpected event, almost everyone looked shocked.
However, even so, no one raised any objection.
Even the members who had voted against the proposal fell silent at this time, and the atmosphere at the scene became very heavy for a while.
Moreover, after the current emperor said his abdication and the man named Oz expressed his acceptance, an astonishing sense of oppression came from his body, making those who were looking at him subconsciously want to look away.
Hino Eiji also felt the strange sense of oppression, but he was still ready to stand up and express his doubts.
However, as soon as he was about to stand up, he was held down by an old man next to him.
"sit down!"
The old man scolded in a low voice.
"Father……"
Huano Eiji's fists immediately clenched tightly.
"Could it be that you actually planned this?"
After all, he did not choose to break away from the old man's hand roughly.
"Hmph! Finally, I haven't forgotten whose help you became a member of Congress."
When the old man heard this, he snorted coldly before continuing.
"That man has nothing to do with me... rather, I may have to act based on that man's face in the future."
The old man's words made Hino Eiji unable to believe it.
"You listen to him...how is this possible?"
Although he went to see his father once when he first decided to become a politician, other than that, he had no contact with his family for a long time.
But he still knows about the strength of this family.
As a political family, his father, who controls a large group, has no shortage of financial or political connections. However, now he says that he will take orders from others... This is really a bad joke!
At this moment, Huano Eiji became even more afraid of Wang Ouzi.
Seeing the shocked look on Hino Eiji's face, the old man couldn't help but sneered.
"Haha, you are really my good son. Even if your own group has been acquired, you are the last one to know."
The old man stood up, touched the ground with his crutch, and left Hino Eiji's side.
"...Forget it, just take care of yourself."
After hearing this sentence, he didn't think about whether it contained any special meaning. When Hino Eiji turned around to look, he found that he had missed the last time to raise objections, because, whether it was the Emperor or Wang Ouzi, In the short period of time he was talking to the old man, they had already left.
Another decision that caught people off guard... The decision was obviously about such an important matter as the emperor's throne, but it didn't even take a few words of conversation before it was settled.
Is it because the emperor's throne does not require a vote... so it is faster?
Hino Eiji turned around.
'Father, is this the real reason why you suddenly came to talk to me? '
However, looking at the old man's back, which was a little more stooped than in his memory, he opened his mouth, but in the end he did not ask the question.
He just quietly watched the old man's back gradually moving away, and never looked away for a long time.
…
…
In the evening, when you encounter the devil.
Oz ascended the high throne and was officially crowned king.
…
…
At the enthronement ceremony, Hino Eiji raised his head and glanced at Wang Ouzi, who was sitting on the high throne more than 6 meters high. He turned around and stepped in front of a man in a red suit.
Next to the man, there was a huge cake.
A woman in a formal dress stood beside her, holding a cake cutting knife and waiting quietly.
Next to the woman is her assistant dressed in smart clothing.
Hino Eiji stood still in front of the man in the red suit, looking at the man in front of him who could be said to have single-handedly pushed Wang Ouzi to the throne of this country, Mitsuki Kogami, the president of the Kogami Foundation.
"Hello, President Kogami, my name is Hino Eiji..."
"I know you!! Huano! Eiji!"
To the surprise of Hino Eiji, Kogami Mitsuo, who emphasized his tone in strange places, interrupted Hino Eiji's words and said so.
He looked up and down at the person he had finally met for the first time and smiled with satisfaction.
"Satonaka!!"
"Yes, President."
As Mitsuo Kogami's secretary, Erika Satonaka nodded in agreement, then held a cake cutting knife and cut out a piece from the big cake beside her. Her assistant Shintaro Goto raised his hand to catch it on a tray and handed it to Eiji Hino. .
"Eh?"
Looking at this scene in a daze, Hino Eiji couldn't help but have an inquiring smile on his face.
"Try it, I made it just for you!"
Hearing Kogami Mitsuo's words, Huino Eiji was even more confused.
——Isn’t this cake prepared for Wang Ouzi who is ascending the throne at this time?
Under the expectant gaze of Mitsuo Kogami, the gazes of Erika Satonaka and Shintaro Goto, Eiji Hino put the cake to his mouth and took a tentative bite.
Huh? It's quite delicious.
However, just when Hino Eiji was thinking this.
Cheers burst out!
It turned out that at this moment, it was time for everyone to applaud Wang Ouz's ascension to the throne.
At the same time, hidden under the cheers, was the congratulations given by Konogami Mitsuo to Hino Eiji alone.
"Happy birthday!! ooo!"
This is exactly what was written on that huge piece of cake.
