I Became a Perverted Kid of a Tsukkur Erotic Game 212

Chapter 212 – 212. Even A Thousand-Mile Journey Begins With A Single Step.

Aiko’s request was handled swiftly.

“I was planning to divorce her anyway.”

When I asked Grandpa on the plane back to Miyagi Prefecture, that was his response.

“Hmm, that’s unexpected. I thought you wouldn’t care about such things, Grandpa.”
“Hey, it’s still my family matter, so I’ll at least do this much.”

Takuya nodded at Grandpa’s words, but then asked,

“So, Aiko will get a divorce… but actually, there’s something else I need to discuss.”
“Oh? Nozomi, please sit in another section for a moment. It seems like we need to have a serious conversation.”
“Okay.”

When I said that in a rather serious tone, Grandpa sent Nozomi away and said to me,

“Alright. What is it that makes you want to talk so seriously, just the two of us?”

At Grandpa Yuzuke’s words, Takuya asked in a low voice,

“Grandpa, about me having special abilities…”

Grandpa Yuzuke nodded at my words, and I began to explain in a whispering voice.

“I had a dream recently…”

And upon hearing Takuya’s words, Grandpa Yuzuke looked at me with disbelief.

I understand. Even I wouldn’t believe it if someone told me that an earthquake would devastate Miyagi Prefecture in a year.

Seeing Grandpa’s reaction, I understood.

No matter how much of a kid with superpowers I am, it would sound like nonsense.

So, Takuya was about to speak up to provide evidence to convince Grandpa when he said,

“I believe you.”

Grandpa Yuzuke said that and took a sip of his tea.

I was momentarily stunned by that, but then I realized that the person in front of me was the same person who tried to adopt me based on mere speculation.

‘Is that what they call the heart of a beast?’

Takuya thought to himself as he began to explain to Grandpa about the memories I saw, or rather, the things that would happen in the future.

“The Great East Japan Earthquake… is it similar to the Great Kanto Earthquake?”
“The Great Kanto Earthquake?”

Takuya was taken aback by the unfamiliar term.

The Great Kanto Earthquake?

‘What’s that?’

It was natural. The Great Kanto Earthquake happened long before Takuya was even born.

That is, it was an event that occurred during the Japanese Empire era, when Korea was under Japanese rule.

It was something that someone who wasn’t interested in history wouldn’t know.

Fortunately, Grandpa Yuzuke kindly explained it to me.

After hearing the entire explanation, I said,

“It’s going to be much more devastating than that.”

That was the truth. Of course, considering the circumstances of the time, I couldn’t say for sure, but it was true that the damage was severe.

From the start, the magnitude of the East Japan Earthquake was much greater.

Grandpa was surprised by Takuya’s firm statement.

It was understandable.

Even for Japanese people who were used to earthquakes, they had never experienced such a large-scale earthquake.

Anyway, after looking surprised, Grandpa asked me a few more questions and then fell into deep thought.

The questions were about the magnitude of the earthquake and the damage it would cause.

And after hearing about the damage, Grandpa Yuzuke thought for a while and then said,

“So, we have to prevent both man-made and natural disasters.”

Strictly speaking, the latter was more about reducing the damage, but still.

Anyway, Grandpa Yuzuke, who was muttering to himself, said,

“Actually, the latter isn’t that difficult. We can’t prevent the damage entirely, but we can create evacuation shelters. The problem is the former, especially…”
“Fukushima.”

Yes. That’s the real problem. Fukushima, or more precisely, the nuclear power plant there.

“Do you know anyone there?”
“If I did, would I be here talking to you?”

More precisely, the problem was Tokyo Electric Power Company, a private company that ‘still’ manages the Fukushima nuclear power plant.

“There were many stories about Tokyo Electric Power Company having problems, but I never thought they would cause such a huge disaster…”
“Well, even they probably didn’t know that such a disaster would happen to them.”
“Hmph, that’s possible. The higher-ups would never want to take responsibility, especially those who rule their companies like gods.”

As expected of Grandpa Yuzuke, who had lived a long life, his assessment was accurate.

Looking at Grandpa, who had made such an assessment of Tokyo Electric Power Company, he said to me,

“So, what’s the plan?”
“Plan?”
“You must have thought of something.”

Of course, I had.

But.

“It’s not very feasible.”
“Don’t you have strange abilities?”
“I can’t solve everything with that.”
“But it’s possible, isn’t it?”

Grandpa Yuzuke was right.

But there was a major problem.

“Well, I have thought about it, but there are many problems. First of all, the duration of hypnosis.”

Hypnosis is definitely a powerful force. As expected of a power from a dating sim, it has absolute power.

But it’s not without its problems.

“Recently, someone broke free from my hypnosis.”

It could be because I left it for a long time, but the point is that there are unexpected variables due to the hypnosis being broken.

“Even with hypnosis, I can’t completely control this situation.”
“Ugh…”
“That doesn’t mean I won’t use it, but I need to create a few more backup plans to deal with it.”
“Backup plans?”
“For example… a method of recruiting experts to persuade those in power.”

Upon hearing my words, Grandpa Yuzuke shook his head and said,

“That won’t work. The Japanese government is much more corrupt than you think.”

I was quite taken aback by those words.

“The current ones are all self-preservationists. They wouldn’t want to take such a gamble, especially when the LDP’s popularity is declining.”
“Wait. Is this a gamble?”
“If they just cover it up, it’ll be a quiet matter.”

Takuya was dumbfounded by Grandpa Yuzuke’s words.

Wait. They can cover up an accident of this magnitude?

“They probably don’t know that the accident will cause that much damage. If they knew, they would desperately try to stop it.”
“Even so…”
“Besides, usually, when something like this happens, it becomes something that only the people in that area remember after a few years. So, they think there’s no need to make a fuss and cover it up. Of course, in an unexpected disaster like this, it’s the worst choice.”

After hearing Grandpa’s words, I realized that I didn’t know much about those in power.

Indeed, they could think that way.

Thanks to that, Takuya had a very troubled expression.

Does that mean I have to control everything with hypnosis?

Putting aside the hassle, it’s not easy for me to control every situation, no matter how powerful I am.

Especially if they only move according to passive commands like hypnosis.

‘What should I do…’

Naturally, Takuya’s worries deepened.

Seeing Takuya’s expression, Yuzuke smiled and said,

“Don’t worry too much, there are many perspectives.”
“No. With only a year left, there isn’t much time…”

When Takuya said that in disbelief, Grandpa Yuzuke said in a confident voice,

“When you reach my age, a year becomes a very long time, you know?”
“No. That’s something an old man would say… wait, you are an old man.”

When I said that, falling for Grandpa’s joke, he burst out laughing and said to me,

“Anyway, this is something that requires people. A lot of people.”
“Yeah, I guess so.”

At Takuya’s answer, Grandpa Yuzuke smiled contentedly and replied,

“Then we just need to gather people. We can’t do it with just the two of us. Dozens, if not hundreds, and if that’s not enough, thousands, tens of thousands.”
“…..”
“Gathering that many people is within our family’s power.”

Is that really true? Honestly, I’m not sure.

Seeing Takuya’s suspicious expression, Grandpa Yuzuke called his secretary outside and said,

“Heh, the Tohomu family has more power in Miyagi Prefecture than you think.”
“Did you call for me, Yuzuke-sama?”
“Ah, yes. Who was that construction company that just opened recently?”
“It was probably ○○ Construction.”
“Ah, right. And which construction company did I have a drink with before? Ah, that’s right. Anyway, place some orders there and other places. And get me a list of those who own large plots of land in Miyagi Prefecture. Oh, something in a high place.”
“Understood.”

The secretary, having received Grandpa Yuzuke’s clear instructions, bowed and closed the door.

Takuya, who was watching the scene, looked bewildered, and Yuzuke said,

“See, we’ve already succeeded in mobilizing hundreds of people.”
“Does it work like that?”
“Yes, it works like that.”

At Grandpa’s words, Takuya had no choice but to nod.

It was true, after all.

Seeing Takuya’s expression, Grandpa Yuzuke, unusually serious, advised Takuya,

“First, let’s start by dealing with the natural disaster. For the man-made disaster, let’s get advice from experts and take it one step at a time. What we have to do is a big task.”

At Grandpa Yuzuke’s words, Takuya nodded.

Yes. Even a thousand-mile journey begins with a single step.

And so, Takuya began a busy year for the future.
