Comprehensive comics: Is it hard to eat soft rice? I want to be a chaebol

PS: The picture is of Yako Iino.

Iino Yako, a freshman in Class 1B, was invited to join the student council after enrolling in Shuchiin Academy High School. She also joined the Discipline Committee under the Student Union and served as the school’s Discipline Committee member.

The reason why Iino Yako was able to serve as the discipline committee member when she first entered the high school department naturally had a background.

Although Shuchiin Academy is a prestigious school with a long history, and most of the students there (especially Junin) are either rich or noble, Iino Yako’s family background is also among the top ranks in Shuchiin Academy.

Specifically, her father is a judge of the Supreme Court (don’t look at it as just a judge, the Supreme Court of Japan, also known as the Supreme Court, has only one Supreme Court Chief and fourteen Supreme Court judges), representing Japan’s judicial system.

supreme authority.

Her mother is an employee of an international humanitarian relief organization (this kind of position is usually reserved for children of powerful people).

Not only does she come from a well-known family, but she also has some international influence.

With such a powerful family background, although Iino Yako can’t be said to be walking around in Shuchiin Academy, not many people dare to provoke her.

It is also because of such a favorable growth environment that Iino Yako is like a flower in a greenhouse, innocent, serious, advocating justice and correctness, just like a child who has not grown up.

Therefore, after she said seriously that Japan is a democratic country, Higashino Makoto, Fujiwara Chika and Hikigaya Hachiman all laughed.

This made the little girl very dissatisfied

“President, what are you laughing at?”

“Haha~~It’s nothing, I just thought of happy things”

“…Where are Fujiwara-senpai and Inspector Hikigaya?”

“Ha ha…Well, we just thought of happy things”

“！！！”

Looking at the three people laughing, the innocent little girl’s face was as bulging as a pufferfish. She walked over angrily and asked the three people:

“Did I say something wrong?”

Higashino Makoto said with a smile:”You can’t be wrong.”

Hikigaya Hachiman complained mercilessly:”I can only say that it is completely wrong.”

“What’s wrong?”

Iino Yako said angrily:

“In Japan, citizens elect members of the House of Representatives and the Senate, and political parties nominate members of the House and Senate to elect the Prime Minister. Other heads of local public organizations and members of local public organization assemblies are also elected through democratic elections. Is this right? Doesn’t it mean that Japan is a democratic country?”

“President, I am not exaggerating. It is through the democratic system that our country can get rid of the shackles of feudal society and develop into a modern democratic country.”

In response, Higashino Makoto sat in his seat, smiled and sighed:

“Not exaggerated at all”

“right?”

“It’s just not accurate”

“……”

Hikigaya Hachiman moved the visitor’s seat to the front and asked Iino Yako to sit down. Then he ran to the side and brought a small round stool to sit with Fujiwara Chika, happily enjoying the ensuing debate.

And Iino Yako was not polite. After sitting down, she immediately launched a debate battle with Higashino Makoto.

“Listen, President, the Prime Minister is the helmsman of the country. He must convince all the people in order to guide the country forward. Therefore, if Fujiwara-senpai wants to become Japan’s first female prime minister, she must first win the trust and support of voters, rather than relying on her family background!”

“Hahaha~~”

“President, what’s so funny about this?”

Facing the angry Iino Yako, Higashino Makoto said with a smile:

“Cute Iino-senpai, let’s analyze it objectively, why is Abe the Prime Minister? And also served as Prime Minister twice?”

“Well~~”Iino Yako hesitated and said:”Because he is outstanding and popular?”

“No, because his maternal grandfather and maternal uncle both served as prime ministers, and their family has been members of Yamaguchi Prefecture and Congress for generations. His father is the political heir of his maternal grandfather and became the second-in-command of the party at the age of 31.”

“Uh-huh…”

Iino Yako was stunned, and then she continued:

“What about Prime Minister Hatoyama?”

“The Hatoyama family has been a hereditary member of parliament for five generations and has served two terms as prime minister. Which Hatoyama prime minister are you talking about?”

“Forehead…”

Iino Yako’s face turned red, and then she continued:

“What about Prime Minister Fukuda?”

“Although the Fukuda family only became prosperous after the war, they have now been hereditary members of parliament for three generations, and father and son have served as prime ministers twice.”

Iino Yako trembled slightly and insisted:

“Where is Prime Minister Koizumi?”

“Four generations of cabinet ministers have been directly descended from the Koizumi family. Prime Minister Koizumi himself became a cabinet minister after being strongly recommended by Prime Minister Abe’s father. He later reciprocated the favor and supported Abe as prime minister.”

Iino Yako opened her mouth, searching for another prime minister:

“What about Prime Minister Suga? Prime Minister Suga is rated as the poorest prime minister. He can’t come from a political family, right?”

“He is indeed not from a political family, so this civilian prime minister suffered the most and took the most blame. He resigned within a year and was rated as the prime minister with the least sense of existence.”

“……”

Iino Yako’s poems are poor.

But after all, her father was a judge of the Supreme Court. After hearing and seeing her, her debating ability was naturally not bad. She changed her strategy and argued:

“Although most prime ministers come from political families, it cannot be said that birth determines destiny, right?”

“Modern society inherently pays attention to division of labor and collaboration. Professional people do specialized things. Political families are also born because of social division of labor. And because of vote-based politics, aren’t there still political amateurs like Prime Minister Suga who are rising to the top step by step?”

“No, no, no, Japan’s political family started from the Meiji Restoration.”

Higashino Makoto said:

“When Japan embarked on the path of capitalism, due to the top-down reforms led by the old aristocracy, although the shogunate and feudal lords of the old era had their fiefdoms taken away, they also transformed into the noble Chinese family and continued to control the country.”

“Just like today’s Japanese politics, it can be summed up as follows: political families inherited by blood and marriage control the central government (such as the Fujiwara family), while local powerful families control the political power in various places (such as the Yukinoshita family and the Chitanda family). There are all kinds of nepotism

“It can be said that Japan today is a feudal country disguised as a modern country.”

“That’s a modern feudal country, right?”

Hikigaya Hachiman replied thoughtfully.

Higashino Makoto smiled and said to Iino Yako:

“So, Iino-senpai, do you think family background or the support of voters is more important for a prime minister?”

“……”

Iino Yako was speechless.

The analysis is very thorough. Of course, becoming a prime minister requires voters….In other words, if you have the support of members of Congress but do not have a prominent family background, you have almost no chance of becoming the prime minister.

The only three civilian prime ministers were all by chance, and they were all chosen to take the blame. They are incomparable to prime ministers from political families.

Just when Iino Yako was doubting her life, Higashino Makoto sent another knowing blow.

“Iino-senpai, don’t be discouraged, your father is a judge of the Supreme Court, and there is a high probability that you will inherit your father’s legacy. I believe that in the future, you will definitely become the seventh female judge of the Supreme Court of Japan.”

“……”

Iino Yako fell into silence.

Iino Yako can’t get up again.

PS: This kind of class solidification and political family can be found in all countries around the world, but only a handful of them are as serious as Japan.
