My Heroines was too Talented

One hour later.

It was seven o’clock in the evening when it was completely dark outside.

On the dining table in the living room and the table surrounded by sofas, there were dishes for nine people.

There was fluffy rice cooked with a spoonful of Kiriha honey, and miso soup made with only domestic products. Fried black bass, ginger-roasted wild boar meat, and fruit juice for dessert.

It might sound rather eccentric, but in current Japan, it wasn’t that strange.

“Oh, this is delicious. You girls are very talented.”

When Director Sayuri praised them, Kiriha and the others became a bit proud.

“How does it feel to get girlfriends who are beautiful with big boobs, good cooking skills, erotic, cute, and always want to be pampered, Honey-chan? Honestly, don’t you feel like you’ve got everything in the world?”

“You should restrain yourself”

“Don’t be so cold.”

“Don’t hug me while I’m eating, and don’t press your breasts against me. More than that, Director Sayuri.”

While coldly responding, I asked Director Sayuri.

“How is the stalling maneuver against President Kaneda going? If you look at the state-run broadcasts these days, all you see is news about foreign capital and people living in Japan leaving Japan.”

Director Sayuri stiffened his voice.

“There’s no problem with that one, it’s exactly what Miina envisioned since President Kaneda has been approaching Western countries, but none of them are willing to buy Japanese government bonds.”

“As expected of Miina-chan ♪”

“Miina is amazing”

Shisae and Maiko praised her, but the important thing was that MIINA had no expression on her face.

This was surely due to the stiff voice of Director Sayuri.

“Director Sayuri. So you’re saying there’s no problem over there, but there’s a problem elsewhere?”

“Yes.”

She answered shortly and nodded her head.

“Sure, we’ve succeeded in buying time. But the all-important bringing down of the president has not gone well.”

I asked.

“Why? Because the ruling party now has a majority of seats in the parliament, is that correct?”

“They’re vulnerable.”

I swallowed the word in disgust.

“Kaneda Yasunori is so powerful that he is also known as the ‘Emperor Kaneda’. The Bank of Japan, as well as all the banks in Japan, are infested with people who have his influence. It is safe to say that he controls the Japanese financial industry. For this reason, many politicians who are in need of money are under the patronage of Kaneda Yasunori. The current members of the Diet are no exception.”

“In other words, even if we were to submit a no-confidence motion in Kaneda to the Diet right now, it would not pass.”

“That’s right. Besides, the ruling party has a majority of seats in the House of Representatives, but not in the House of Councillors. It is a so-called twisted parliament.”

“I was just wondering, does the appointment of the president require a majority in both the House of Representatives and the House of Councillors?”

“Um, doesn’t [superiority of the House of Representatives] apply to the appointment of the president?”

Hearing the words Miina uttered, I asked Kiriha for help.

“I’m sure I learned it before, but what was it about?”

“Article 61 of the Constitution of Japan. If it passes the House of Representatives, even if it is rejected by the House of Councillors, the House of Representative’s decision becomes the Diet’s decision 30 days later. But……”

When Kiriha turned her cold, businessman-like gaze, Director Sayuri also sounded tense in return.

“It’s about policy and legislation. It doesn’t include Bank of Japan personnel matters. Even if it is included, the resolution will not be passed until 30 days. There is no guarantee that Kaneda Yasunori will not find someone to sell the bonds during that time.”

“If that happens, Shisae will manipulate all the bacteria in the air and send him to the hospital, if not kill him.”

Shisae said in a heavy tone, like an evil conspirator plotting an assassination.

“No, if that happens, someone with Kaneda Yasunori’s influence will be the new president.”

–Stop with the assassination!

“Then sent them all of the Boneless Glasses’ faction to the hospital!”

“The police will act. We can’t lose you now.”

–It’s okay then if they don’t find out!?

A pang of anxiety went through my head as I wondered if I should go along with this person.

“Or rather, now that Shisae mentions it, if Shisae can do such a thing, can’t Shsiae manipulate the patient’s virus to cure them?”

“Huh? Viruses are not living creatures, so you can’t manipulate them, can you?”

“Eh?”

“Huh?”

I and Shisae blinked as we stared at each other.

“Honey, viruses are not living organisms because they have genes but no cells. Similarly, there are prions, which are made up of proteins but don’t have genes.”

“Is that so….recently, Kiriha has been teaching me all the time…”

As a boyfriend, I felt a little embarrassed.

In the future, when a child was born between us, if it was stupid, it would be 100 percent my fault.

“Is Honey the type who doesn’t like a girlfriend who knows more about cars than you?”

“No, not really, but……”

“Then there’s no problem, right?”

Saying this, Kiriha held my shoulder with a cold expression on her face, but with a voice that sounded a little less tense.

Truly, she was too good to be true.

“Um, Director Sayuri.”

The new voice came from Maiko.

“Just to confirm, you can’t sell the gold Miina made to the West for foreign currency, can you?”

“Yes. Even if we recover all the gold from the domestic urban mines, it will be far short of 1,600 trillion yen, and there will be none left for domestic industrial use.”

“Then, how about redeeming it at the Bank of Japan……”

“But it’s still the same. Besides, with thousands of tons of gold in our hands, the Bank of Japan would have even more influence.”

“I see…”

Maiko’s shoulders slumped in disappointment.

“No, this is not something for you guys to worry about. This is entirely the work of politicians. It is enough for you guys to go on with your work as usual. I’m sorry I made you worry about it. I’m not qualified to be an adult.”

“No, that’s not true. At least, Director Sayuri is far more virtuous than our elementary and middle school teachers.”

“I don’t feel like I’m being praised when the comparison is to a teacher.”

But Director Sayuri smiled happily as he said that.

From then on, the meal went on peacefully.

Then, everyone decided to leave without having a study session today, because if they stayed together any longer, they would talk too much and not be able to do their homework.

After teleporting Maria, Maya, Maiko, and Matsumi home, I tried to teleport Director Sayuri home as well.

“Then, Director Sayuri, you too.”

“No, I live in this apartment, I can walk home.”

“What!? You live here!?”

I screamed my head off at the fact that I now know.

“You are forgetting that I am a high-ranking government official, aren’t you? But I only moved in when I became the Director of the Extraordinary Ability Department, though. So, today’s homework is due today–”

When Director Sayuri spoke that much, MR TV, which had been deployed on the wall, broadcast the news.

[The Bank of Japan President Kaneda Yasunori and the PAU Central Bank President have just completed their remote consultation. The new currency unit of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations is the aji, and the exchange rate is 1 aji = 10 yen.]

“What is this?”

“Reasonable, yes. Before the financial collapse, the exchange rate in Japan was 1 cent to 1 yen. 1 euro to 1 dollar was 100 yen. Now that the Japanese yen has lost one-tenth of its value due to the financial collapse, you have to pay 10 times as much, 10 yen. You can’t get them to exchange it for a cent.”

“If 1 aji is worth 10 yen, does that mean that the PAU currency is worth as much as the US dollar or the EU Euro?”

Director Sayuri nodded.

“Yes. Southeast Asia is a developing region with a population of 500 million and a GDP comparable to that of the UK and France. PAU may become a newly developed country in the future.”

“But Sayuri-chan, since we are in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, the currency is exactly the same as the Aji, right ♪?”

“I think we’re on the same level because the currency of the European Union is the Euro…….”

When Shisae laughed holding her stomach, I retorted.

“”Hm?””

Suddenly, Kiriha and Miina run their fingers in the air.

They expanded the MR window and searched for something.

Kiriha shouted with amusement.

“Bingo. The gold price is 10,000 aji per gram.”

“1 aji is 10 yen, so 10,000 aji is 100,000 yen.”

Their gazes met.

“If you’re in Southeast Asia, where psychics are poorly managed, exporting large quantities of MIINA gold takes a long time before it’s psychometrized!”

“And they won’t suspect up to 10,000 tons of gold reserves in urban mines. 10,000 tons of gold is 100 trillion aji or 1,000 trillion Japanese yen! If we give the gold to the PAU instead of the Bank of Japan, the Bank of Japan won’t gain any power.”

“Even so, it’s still short of the 1,600 trillion yen, but Director Sayuri, if you appealed to the news about this and said, “We’ll pay back 100 trillion yen and make the remaining 600 trillion yen from high-cost medical care, so wait before selling the bonds overseas,” the president would have no choice but to wait, wouldn’t he?”

“There are sick millionaires in Southeast Asia, too, you know. Besides, wouldn’t it be outwardly offensive even to Emperor Kaneda if he refused to sell all the urban mines to make 1,000 trillion yen?”

As Kiriha and Miina swept it all up at once, Director Sayuri groaned.

“You guys want to be my secretaries?”

A triumphant smile was on Director SAYURI’s mouth.

I, too, was tongue-tied by their dependability.
