Chapter 99 – Episode 14. Mimata Chieri
I continued to watch, but nothing suspicious happened to Chieri Mimata and her daily life continued as usual. In the meantime, the American media, which received money from other large pharmaceutical companies, criticized Health Miracle every day, and the stock, which was at $1,100 until a few days ago, continued to plummet and fell to $400.
It was said to go down to $300, but I couldn’t remember exactly how much it was, so I liquidated it around $400. I didn’t know exactly how much it was because there were complicated issues such as tax calculations, but I was certain that I had gained a huge amount of wealth.
Now that I had earned enough money, the important thing was what to do with it. The first thing I thought of was to acquire one of the many PMCs (Private Military Companies) in Japan.
There was a public enterprise called PMC, a temporary military force created by Japan through expedient means, as it failed to amend its peace constitution until World War III broke out. However, when the war ended and there was no need to maintain large numbers, the Japanese government converted all but a few blue-chip PMCs into private companies. Giant corporations such as Taira and Minamoto acquired some good PMCs, and the remaining PMCs were self-reliant in Japan.
Some were private businesses and were still doing well, some had gone bankrupt, some had gone into hiding and competed with the Yakuza or were under the control of the Yakuza, and some had become small businesses and were showing various signs of making a living.
Megacorp’s youngest son also had an event to hire a Japanese PMC, so he knew of a PMC with good cost-effectiveness, so he planned to use that information to acquire the PMC.
However, after researching the acquisition process, I found that it was not as easy as I thought. In order to become the president of PMC, you needed to have several qualifications called office processing engineer for a private military company, but it was said that it was quite difficult to obtain them.
Even though most of them were released to the private sector because they said they were not necessary, it seems that this procedure was created because it would have been difficult for the Japanese government to have just anyone become the head of the PMC. This complicated qualification process was created because it would be very difficult to prevent if a spy from an enemy country with a hidden identity purchased a PMC and attacked Japan.
However, there is an expedient in everything, and since all of these procedures are to prevent those who could harm Japan, anyone who could not do so could establish or take over PMC. The way to prove that one was such a person was to receive an endorsement from a prominent figure in society. A PMC could be established or acquired if it received a guarantee from a member of the National Assembly or a person higher than the CEO of a large corporation.
If you think about it, when the Japanese government distributed PMC to the private sector, the CEOs of large companies probably did not study to obtain certification. He took over PMCs by providing a self-guarantee to himself. Perhaps there was a dirty deal between the business and political world behind what happened at that time.
I already had a favor I could ask Grandpa Taira Danzo for, and with that favor I would like to ask him to become a guarantor for the establishment of the PMC. As soon as I decided on the contents of the request, I called Takayuki Fumimoto, Grandpa Danzo Taira’s chief secretary.
-Yes, this is Takayuki Fumimoto.
“Chief Secretary, this is Ryuta Taira. I want to meet her grandfather. When can I see him?”
-Can you tell me what it is?
“I’m going to use the favor I received from my grandfather the other day.”
-Please wait a moment. Let’s check the schedule.
“Yes.”
Taira Danzo said I wanted to see him, but he wasn’t someone I could see right away. This is because he had a huge schedule as he was the head of a top Japanese company. Still, he has said that he will do you a favor, so he will meet you quickly.
-You’re asking us to have lunch at your home next Monday.
Since today is Friday, the schedule was set up pretty quickly. Perhaps Grandpa Taira Danzo was also curious about what I would ask him to do, so he made a quick schedule.
“All right. See you on Monday. Hello, Chief Secretary.”
-Goodbye to you, Master Ryuta.
I said hello politely and hung up. Takayuki Fumimoto is one of the most influential figures in the Taira Group, so it would never be a loss to be polite. He is said to have served Taira Danzo from the previous generation to the second generation, and because Taira Danzo’s trust was so strong, even Taira Ichiro, Taira Danzo’s eldest son, could not do anything carelessly.
After hanging up the phone and sitting in my room for a while, someone called me on the line.
When I looked at who it was, it was Genba Kiyohira (玄葉 清平), Kazuhiro’s friend from middle school and high school. He loved fighting so much that in middle school, he teamed up with Kazuhiro Smith and caused chaos in Edogawa Ward. He got beaten up so hard by me that he and Kazuhiro were rehabilitated.
I think his nickname at the time was Edogawa’s Black and White Ears. He was invincible. It was a morbid name, but he was in middle school, so it was natural for him. Of course, Kazuhiro Smith, who was half-black, was a black ghost (Kuroki, black ghost), and Kiyohira, who had bleached white hair at the time, was a white ghost (Shiroki, a white ghost). When I was in high school, I was very embarrassed by the nickname, but at the time, I was a delinquent who was quite recognized as Edogawa’s Black and White Demon.
For reference, when we called each other, his name was Genba Kiyohira, so his nickname was Genbaki. It has a name like that and it looks like something out of a Baki cartoon.
Now, he is making use of his love of fighting and is pursuing a career as a martial arts athlete. He had been doing it since he was a senior in high school, and before he knew it, he was a member of UMC, the world’s best fighting organization.
Genbaki: Hey Ryuta! Isn’t your mother’s birthday this weekend? Should I see you again after a long time?
Ryuta Taira: Did you come to Japan?
Genbaki: Of course I came in. Let’s meet up with Sumikazu this weekend. I should give my mother a gift too.
When Kiyohira and Kazuhiro were in high school, they both ate at my house a lot and slept together a few days a week, so they both thought very deeply of Ms. Jinmija. Since both of them were delinquent children and the indifference at home was quite high, the amount of affection her mother gave to her son’s friend was also touching.
By the way, it’s been a long time since I went to my house in Edogawa. In the early days of the talent development center, I went there a few times on the weekends, but recently I couldn’t go because I was meeting a girl on the weekends. Hmm… Unfilial children just cry.
Ryuta Taira: Then I’ll call mom and make an appointment, so you can tell Kazuhiro. Tokyo FC’s game is on Saturday, so I can watch it on Sunday.
Genbaki: Okay, I’ll contact Sumikazu.
Tyra Ryuta: See you on Sunday then.
Genbaki: Yes. It’s been a while since we’ll be sparring, so get your uniform ready!
She was someone who loved fighting, so whenever Kiyohira saw me, she would always ask me to spar. In middle school, I got beat up a lot, but in high school, as I learned systematically, my winning rate became similar, but from the second half of my second year of high school, I actually got beat up. Technically, I was better because I had learned shinkaiyatsude, but I couldn’t beat a guy who systematically trained his body. I’m sure this guy isn’t asking to keep sparring to get revenge for getting beaten up in middle school, right? However, after being possessed, he has become very strong, so it will not be easy to lose even if you want to. I guess I’ll have to deal with it moderately.
After finishing her line with Kiyohira, I called Ms. Jinmija. She didn’t go to Edogawa’s house often, but she still called him often, so maybe it wasn’t such a big deal of unfilial piety? In Korea, there are many houses that we only see during holidays…
While I was rationalizing, the phone call stopped and my mom answered the phone.
-Hello, Yongtaeni?
“Yeah, do you have any plans for this Sunday? Kazuhiro and Kiyohira are coming because it’s her mom’s birthday, right? So, I was thinking about having a meal or something.”
-I have an appointment on Saturday, and Sunday is okay. Still, it was worth it to take care of her mom’s birthday every time and to feed, put her to sleep, and wash Sumikazu Langenbaki for three years in high school.
“I’ve never washed it.”
– That’s right. So where are you going to have dinner?
“I’ll make a reservation for the restaurant myself.”
-Okay, then, see you on Sunday~.
As expected, the phone call with Jin Mi-ja ends briefly. This dry coolness is probably why she broke up with her father, Taira Saburo, after meeting her briefly.
I felt sorry for not being able to go often recently and also felt sorry for forgetting Kiyohira’s birthday until she mentioned it, so I decided to make a reservation at a high-end restaurant. The guys who come to me as friends are both athletes, so I guess we should go to a meat restaurant. Since the guys were missing the Korean food they used to eat at home, we decided on a high-end Korean restaurant. I called and made a reservation for a room for 4 people and sent the location information to Kiyohira, Kazuhiro, and Ms. Jin Mi-ja over the line.
I’m planning to meet some of the Group 74 members in Tokyo on Saturday, so I can buy a gift then. I have more work to do now. I opened the door and went down the stairs. When I went down to the first floor, Yukiko was waiting for me naked on the sofa.
Since Yukiko and I’s first experience was on the sofa on the first floor, Yukiko said she wanted to do it on the sofa today, so I stayed in the room while the housekeeper got off work and Yukiko was setting up(?) On the sofa. She took care of a few things while she was in the room, so you could say it was time well spent.
“Hmm♥ Why are you standing still? Come fast…”
“I had this scene in my head right now.”
Yukiko lying on the sofa was definitely so beautiful that she wanted to save it permanently in her head. It seems like your body has become more erotic after having sex with me. Is it because you are filled with positive energy?
