The end of President Kaneda

The end of President Kaneda

“This is President Kaneda’s fraudulent ledger.”

Time had stopped.

Like a frame-by-frame, sixteen gazes were focused on Maria’s MR screen.

“Eh…wait…Maria? What are you doing?”

“Director SAYURI wanted a way to deal with the Kaneda faction without getting our hands dirty, so I did the Thoughtography. With this ledger, we will be able to round up everyone who received the money.”

Maria explained in an emotionless, matter-of-fact way.

“No, no, no! Is this possible!? As I recall, evidence obtained through illegal activity loses its evidentiary value!”

“There is no law against copying the books with Thoughtography ability since our legal system has not caught up with supernatural power. If necessary, I can make a video of each of the KANEDA president faction’s dirty dealings, if you like, what do you think?”

“Wait a minute, Maria-chan! Can Thoughtography go that far? Does that mean that a person with Thoughtography ability can freely Thoughtography Shisae’s diary, poetry collection, black history notebook, and naked pictures of Kiriha-chan and upload them to the Internet if you want to do so?”

Maiko, Matsumi, and Miina blushed and hid their breasts.

I couldn’t help but think of all the men in the world with Thoughtography abilities who would have Thoughtographed Kiriha’s naked body.

“No, I’m probably the only person in the world who can.”

“Why!?”

Shisae yelled in a voice that sounded like a strange voice, and Director Sayuri raised her eyebrows dubiously.

“Yeah? What, you didn’t know? Arima Maria is by far the most skilled Thoughtography in the world. She is a living national treasure.”

What!? all of our voices overlapped.

“In the first place, Thoughtography ability is limited to a certain amount of information on the subject and a dim, blurred image of the matter at a close site and in a close time frame.”

—Eh? Is that how it is?”

Speaking of which, I remember seeing Thoughtography photos on the internet a long time ago that were blurry.

“Before the current era, when only one in every 100 people was born with psychic abilities, even Mita Koichi, the greatest Thoughtographer in Japan’s history, was feared as ‘the most powerful psychic of their time’ and ‘a magician’ in the Taisho era, had a very unclear image of the dark side of the moon.”

When Director Sayuri made eye contact with Maria, Maria seemed to have guessed her intention just by that.

A clear image of the backside of the moon appeared on the MR image.

The clarity of the image was so clear that it was as if we were looking at a finely crafted model of the moon.

“Probably no one will be able to do Thoughtography better than Arima Maria in the next 100 years. The reason why the legal system is lagging behind is that no one can do anything that bad with Thoughtography.”

“I see.”

—-Even if she’s not good at it, Maria is more awesome than me and Miina…….

If she wanted to, Shisae could surely kill anyone.

I could also kill anyone in the blink of an eye.

But Maria could easily eliminate them socially, unscathed.

Which proved more useful and was more obvious than the fire.

“So, Director Sayuri, should we be using the fraudulent ledgers and videos?”

Director Sayuri, and then all of us, nodded our heads in agreement at the same time.

***

That night, in order to prevent the evidence from being covered up, the full pages of the fraudulent ledgers of the Bank of Japan President Kaneda Yasunori and his entire faction, as well as videos of their insider trading and bribe-taking activities, were posted on the Internet in a Thoughtography.

The sheer volume far exceeded the number of firefighters who could put out the fire, and the entire online media was consumed by it.

The next morning, all TV news programs except the national broadcaster also picked up the story, and all newspapers replaced the front page of their morning editions with extensive coverage.

The Kaneda faction’s home, family home, and villa were packed with reporters, and the secretaries made a fuss about it being fake news, but as the organization grew, there were bound to be all kinds of people.

Members who belonged to a faction but lacked a shred of enthusiasm or even a glimmer of loyalty came clean in their fear of being cornered by the press.

The following day, July 4, Kaneda Yasunori and all the faction members were dragged to the police like a sack of potatoes, including a total of 58 incumbent Diet members.

The ruling party lost many seats, but the opposition lost even more.

Thanks to this, the ruling party managed to secure a majority of seats in both the lower house and the upper house.

In response to the unprecedented and unusual situation in which the entire upper echelons of the Bank of Japan were emptied, the Cabinet held an emergency Diet session, where a valuable senior Bank of Japan official, uninfluenced by Kaneda Yasunori, was appointed as the Bank of Japan President.

We were lucky that the new Bank of Japan president was a man who enjoys streaming videos as a hobby.

Until now, we had uploaded a number of videos to video sites explaining in simple terms the structure of Japan’s debt and national debt, as explained to us by Director SAYURI, and sought the public’s understanding of it.

Even so, many people were convinced, although some economic pundits persistently insist that the national debt will destroy the country.

Naturally, the talk of selling the bonds to a certain country had disappeared.

But the promise to give gold bullion to the central bank of the PAU Southeast Asian Union remained unchanged.

Japan relies on imports from Southeast Asia for food and clothing.

A large amount of PAU’s common currency, the aji, would eventually be spent.
