Crossover: Becoming Japan’s Prime Minister? Chapter 218 219: Call Him Father

"Pri Minister, Pri Minister, you're awake!"

The surrounding dical staff were overjoyed, looking excitedly at the Pri Minister of Japan, who had awakened from his coma.

The Pri Minister, who had fainted twice in a row, had a vacant look in his eyes. He wished he could just remain in a coma like this, at least earning the reputation of a Pri Minister who worried for the country and its people and worked himself into a serious illness.

How he wished all of this were just a dream, and that nothing like a school hostage incident had ever happened.

"How are things?"

After all, he was soone who had beco Pri Minister. He slowly regained his senses, knowing there was no escape and that he had to face it head-on.

"Pri Minister, all the terrorists have been eliminated, and all the hostages have been rescued."

"What? The terrorists have been eliminated, and the hostages have been rescued? Quick, tell , what are the casualties?"

The Pri Minister of Japan shouted excitedly. He even pinched himself to make sure this really wasn't a dream.

"Aside from so students who were seriously injured, there are currently no fatalities."

"No one died?"

At first, he suspected he was too emotional and was having so kind of hysterical episode.

He quickly asked, "Who eliminated the terrorists and rescued the hostages? Was it the Self-Defense Forces or FBI agents?"

"Neither. It was Fujiwara-kun. It was Toru who saved everyone."

"Fujiwara Toru? Why does that na sound so familiar? Is he the son of Chairman Fujiwara, the one who received a dal not long ago?"

"Yes, it's that Fujiwara-kun."

The staff beside him imdiately brought over a tablet and played the footage for the Pri Minister at double speed, showing Toru descending like a divine soldier, taking out nurous terrorists in one sweep and saving thousands of teachers and students.

When he saw this scene, the Pri Minister's expression turned ecstatic.

He's saved, he's saved, he's saved!

Although he probably couldn't remain Pri Minister, his life was more important than that position.

The students of Shuchi'in Academy had not suffered major harm, and his own life, and his family's lives, had been saved.

As for the position of Pri Minister?

At worst, he would just have to resign. That was better than losing his life, and even better than the president of the neighboring country ending up in prison.

At that mont, the Pri Minister faced all the reporters and shouted loudly and forcefully, "Investigate! We must investigate how these terrorists entered Japan and where all their weapons ca from!"

All the surrounding governnt staff nodded vigorously.

Without a doubt, Japan would mobilize the strength of the entire nation to investigate this incident and appease public anger.

The Pri Minister then saw Toru, who was surrounded by the crowd.

He pushed everyone aside and walked over. Imdiately, the Pri Minister's security guards opened a path around them.

The excited Pri Minister of Japan clasped Toru's hand and gave a deep bow. His legs bent, and he almost dropped to his knees.

"Fujiwara-kun, on behalf of the cabinet and all the people of Japan, I thank you for your righteous act. Because of you, thousands of families in Japan will not be weeping tonight. Because of you, so many innocent lives have been saved."

There was one sentence he did not say, which was that his own life had also been saved.

The Pri Minister remained bent over without straightening up, while the reporters beside him rapidly pressed their shutters.

Toru also did not move, cooperating with the reporters as they took pictures of him.

This was exactly what he needed.

Soone in the surrounding crowd quietly muttered, "What a show-off."

"Exactly. Since this new Pri Minister took office, Japan's cri rate has been skyrocketing, and there have already been several terrorist attacks."

"If he had any sha, he should resign and apologize."

"Resign? Resigning isn't enough. He should commit seppuku to apologize."

"..."

The Pri Minister heard all of it, but what could he do? He didn't dare say a single word.

mbers of the Self-Defense Forces and officers from the Tokyo tropolitan Police Departnt maintained order at the scene. Thousands of teachers and students were sent to major hospitals for dical examinations according to the previous arrangents.

Although Toru felt fine, as Japan's current savior, he was also forcibly dragged to the hospital.

The Pri Minister left in a hurry, preparing to convene all cabinet mbers for an ergency cabinet eting.

In the ambulance, Kogoro accompanied Ran.

"Ran, you weren't hurt, were you?"

Kogoro's eyes were still red, and the whites of his eyes were filled with bloodshot veins from not sleeping for the past two days.

Ran said with concern, "Dad, I'm fine, not hurt at all. What about you? Shouldn't you rest first?"

"Haha, your old man is in great shape. Back when I was young, I went three days and three nights without sleep to catch criminals. This is nothing."

He had just heard Ran's account and learned that she had not even seen the terrorists. Toru had hidden her in a secret attic.

"I won't scold that brat anymore. I even have to thank him. Ran, when we get back, give him those few bottles of good wine people gave from the cabinet. Take it as my thanks."

Kogoro said this with a pained expression.

Ran said helplessly, "What if Fujiwara-kun doesn't like drinking?"

"How is that possible? No man can refuse alcohol!"

Kogoro said, unconvinced.

Ran could not help but laugh.

But she knew that this was truly her father's most sincere gratitude.

Kogoro himself had always been reluctant to drink those few bottles of good wine, preferring to drink the cheapest beer instead.

For Kogoro, who loved alcohol as much as his life, those bottles were his lifeblood.

But no matter how important alcohol was, it was not more important than his daughter's life.

"Hey, Uncle, so you've always looked down on Fujiwara-sama, haven't you?"

Sonoko, who was also in the ambulance, spoke with her hands on her hips and her eyes narrowed.

Kogoro let out an awkward laugh. "Haha, no, absolutely not. Oh, and I should thank you too this ti, Sonoko."

"It's all thanks to you for dragging Ran to find that brat Fujiwara. With her personality, she probably wouldn't want to trouble anyone."

Sonoko raised her head and said, "Hmph, of course! That's Fujiwara-sama!"

Seeing Sonoko getting lovestruck again, even Kogoro approved of her this ti.

Requesting flowers

On the other side, Yukiko and Eri watched the Mouri father and daughter get into the ambulance and drive away.

"Eri, aren't you going over to check on them?"

"I don't want to see that man. It's enough to know Ran is safe. I'll contact her later."

Wearing glasses and looking intellectual and elegant, Eri said this. Then she looked down at Conan and frowned. "...Is this kid really your relative's child? Why does he look exactly like Shinichi when he was little? You didn't have him with soone, did you?"

Yukiko pretended to be angry and said, "This is my relative's child. It's normal for him to look like Shinichi."

She was actually trying to hide Conan and Kudo Shinichi's identities.

Eri was only joking. She said, "Don't be mad. I'll go find Ran now. You should also take Conan to the hospital for a check-up."

The two won exchanged glances, both seeing through the other's little thoughts, then nodded and parted.

After Eri left, Yukiko took Conan and left as well.

On the way back, Yukiko could not help complaining, "Shinichi, why do things happen wherever you go? You make worry about you every ti."

Although she looked carefree and thoughtless on the surface, she was always deeply concerned about her son's safety.

Conan did not say a word.

Yukiko pinched his face unhappily. "Shinichi, what are you thinking about now?"

"I was thinking about Fujiwara Toru. That man is really amazing. I'm impressed."

Conan ca back to his senses and sighed.

"I never thought proud little Shinichi would have a day when he admires soone."

Yukiko was secretly pleased. It was a good thing that her son liked her little lover.

I just wonder if you, Shinichi, will call him Father.

Conan had no idea his mother was already in heat. He said helplessly, "Isn't it normal for to admire people? I admire several football stars too."

"I think with your footwork, Shinichi, playing football would be no problem."

"If I hadn't beco a detective and played football instead, I definitely would have been a world-class striker."

...

At the Pri Minister's official residence, an ergency cabinet eting was being held.

A case of this magnitude, a major incident of the century, had caused Japan to mobilize all available resources for the investigation.

And this matter was far too easy to investigate. Within an hour, all the detailed information had been delivered to the cabinet.

The source of the weapons and equipnt could be traced. gure and customs personnel had personally witnessed the Special Investigation Departnt taking away that batch of weapons and equipnt.

As for the true identities of those hundreds of terrorists, that had also been discovered. They turned out to be mbers of a Colombian drug trafficking group.

As for how they had been secretly sent into Japan without anyone knowing, much of that information could not be clarified.

So it could actually be guessed that Arica was behind this!

"Outrageous!"

The current Pri Minister slamd the table hard.

He pointed at the rising sun flag behind him and shouted, "Go call the Arican Ambassador to Japan and the commander of the U.S. forces stationed in Japan! I want them to kneel here and apologize!"

A group of cabinet mbers looked at him as if he were an idiot.

Pri Minister, you haven't been watching too many Korean dramas, have you?
