Buzzword Award
"I see… it’s a stampede!
Is it about North America?
What does that have to do with me?"
I ask Mary, the British ambassador.
"Like I said, when stampede happens, this world will be overflowing with demons!"
"Are there that many of them?”
"According to Master Anastasia, 30% of the world's population died in the stampede that occurred 150 years ago!"
Mary speaks passionately.
"Thirty percent is quite a large number...
I mean, how on earth does Anastasia know about this world's history?"
"It seems that Master was in this world at that time."
"How old is Anastasia?"
"That part… Master…"
For some reason, Shiro is stunned.
"That’s the most important thing! I want to know the correct age of my first love!
Well, in my mind, she will always be 28 years old!
After all, her appearance hasn't changed at all since the first time I saw her!"
"When Master was a child, you liked older women!"
"Any child would love someone who looks like a mother!
I was an orphan and I was starving for a mother!"
"So, Master likes big breasts?"
"I like both big breasts and small breasts!
Because I'm a man who doesn't breast discriminate!"
I thought I said something good, so I looked smug.
"Please don’t create new words like [breast discriminate]!
By any chance, Master, are you aiming for the buzzword award?"
"You found out..."
"This is not the Earth, so there is no buzzword award.
However, if you really want to be selected for the buzzword award, you won't be selected unless it's a liberal word!
[Japan, who failed preschool, die!]!
The Japanese media is liberal, after all."
"Isn't that just disparaging Japan rather than being liberal?
I wonder if it's morally okay to use the word [die]...
Or rather, wouldn't Mary, who loves Japan, kill if she heard that?"
"Mary, are you there?"
"Those who degrade Japan would not be forgiven!"
Mary is drawing her sword with a bright red face.
"Well, well. Japan is a defeated country, so there are a lot of things going on!"
In order to calm Mary down, I briefly told her about the situation in Japan.
"T... the strongest Japan lost... I can't believe that a country with many of the strongest samurai lost..."
Mary became so anxious that she got down on all fours and drooped her head.
"Well, we lost to the superpower America!
An atomic bomb was dropped!"
Once again, I briefly told her about Japanese history.
"What! It’s America after all! Isn’t the stampede in the America the cause after all?"
Mary seems to have completely mixed up the history of Earth and the story of the 35th level.
"Well, calm down! Japan lost the war, but since then it has become an economic powerhouse!"
"Is it so?"
Mary asks with a bit of interest.
"Yeah. Currently, it is the third largest economic power. By the way, America is number one!"
"After all, we are losing to America!"
Mary seems to be really frustrated and stomps around like a child.
"But when you consider the area of the country, it’s amazing!
America is 25 times the size of Japan!"
"I see... That's right! Japan is strong after all!"
"That's right! Japan is the only country to attack America face-to-face, and they've sunk a lot of American warships!
Japan is an amazing country!
However, now it has become a spy paradise for various countries such as China, South Korea, North Korea, and Russia, it is a mess!
It's the same with the [Japan should die] thing I mentioned earlier, but the media is being taken over by foreigners and they're completely trying to degrade Japan!"
"Master! You shouldn’t say that!
Master, if you talk like that, you'll be called a Netouyo!"
(TN: Netouyo. It means right-wing on internet. Netouyo(ネトウヨ) is an abbreviation for Net(ネット:internet) Uyoku(右翼：right-wing). This is an internet slang.)
"Are you an idiot? My knowledge wasn’t cultivated on the internet or anything like that!
You can only learn the superficial things like that!
I learned everything by reading books!
When I was in elementary school, I read [Monster of the Showa era]!"
"What are you reading? Isn’t [Monster of the Showa era] a story about former Prime Minister Abe’s grandfather, Nobusuke Kishi?"
"Yeah, I found it at home so I read it!
I mistook it for stories about GeGeGe no Kitaro and yokai, and then learned about politics and money!
If you ask me, I thought it was normal to spend money in elections, and it was normal for one person to spend about 100 million yen to get elected!
Because it's written in a book written in the Showa era!
What are you making such a fuss about now!"
"For an ordinary person, 100 million yen is a lot of money, right?"
"Well, that’s true, but it was commonplace in the political world!
Kakuei Tanaka was throwing away a lot of money!
Those who control money control the Liberal Democratic Party!
You can even be the Prime Minister!
That's why everyone wants to be the secretary general!"
"Master! Please stop it!
This is way off track!"
Shiro gets worried and tries to stop me.
"No, I won't stop! Because you came along for the ride!"
"Master's bad habits..."
"First of all, I would like to say this to people living in Japan. I especially want to say this to people from Jeju Island who came to Japan after the war!"
"Is it okay to talk about such sensitive topics?"
"According to my theory, the people of Jeju Island and the southern part of the Korean Peninsula are members of the imperial family. In other words, there is no doubt that they are almost the same ethnic group as the Japanese of today!"
"That’s Master’s Yamato Imperial Race Theory!"
"That's right! Himiko's family ruled the southern part of the Korean peninsula.
And 663 years. Baekje and Japan were defeated by the Tang and Silla allied forces at the Battle of Hakusonko, and Himiko's family was driven from the Korean Peninsula to Japan!"
"So, the descent of Amateru occurred in Japan, and the family of his sister Himiko took the country away from the family of the brother Susanoo, who was ruling Japan at the time, on the grounds that her family should rule Japan!"
"Yeah. It’s a Confucian idea that is like China and Korea!
According to Chinese ideology, Korea, which is close to China, is the older brother, and Japan, which is far away, is the younger brother, which is a convenient interpretation.
It's all just China using Confucianism to control the surrounding countries."
"Even in the Sussex Commonwealth, religion is used, but using religion in national politics is a good idea!''
"The nation isn't telling us to respect our elders! Buddha, Christians, and Confucius all told us to respect them! That's what it feels like!"
"Master, you're off the rails again..."
"Yeah. Therefore, people from Jeju Island and Jeolla Province are the same ethnic group as the Japanese, and that is also a faction of the imperial family. The current imperial family itself fled from the Korean peninsula!
In fact, the imperial family includes some of the royal blood of Baekje!
The people of the Korean Peninsula actually discriminate against the Silla people in the north and the Baekje people in the south!"
"After the Pacific War ended, there was the Jeju April 3rd Incident, where one in five Jeju islanders, or about 60,000 people, were killed!
Doesn't this show that the people of the Korean peninsula don't think of the people of Jeju Island as the same people?
We use the [Elitism] skill to make people look like pigs, so that the people won't think we're killing humans!"
"Yeah. Even though they’re both Koreans, it’s such a mess!
How many Koreans did the Japanese kill during the war?
We didn't kill most of them, right?
Because they thought of them as Japanese citizens.
In comparison, Koreans massacred 60,000 people from the same country!
Then, people who escaped from the nightmare of Jeju Island went to Japan and established a village in Tsuruhashi, Osaka!"
"I see! That's why Japanese people can eat delicious Yakiniku!"
Shiro drooled as she put her hands together.
"Yeah! There may indeed be some Japanese people who discriminate against people living in Japan.
But that doesn't mean they will kill 60,000 people living in Japan like the Korean government did!"
"Surprisingly, Japanese people are very tolerant of foreigners!"
"Yeah, like now, Japan is being ruined by foreign media, and we just sit back and watch!
Well, the people living in Japan from Jeju Island and Jeolla Province were actually ethnic groups from the same country 1300 years ago!"
"In fact, 1,300 years ago, before Japan and Baekje were defeated, the people of Jeolla Province and Jeju Island were an ethnic group close to the Japanese?"
"It's usually written in Japanese textbooks!
That's why Japanese people have to get along with the people of Jeju Island and Jeolla Province!
The enemy is the Silla people who still rule Korea!"
"Does Master wants to make friends with the Japanese people in Tsuruhashi, Osaka?"
"Of course! We're from the same ethnicity!"
"But you don’t like Korean people of Silla descent?"
"Of course! They colluded with the colonial power of Tang and destroyed Baekje, and also the Japanese country on the Korean Peninsula!
Also, during the Mongol Invasion, the incident occurred due to the tactics of the Koreans in the north and the Goguryeo people!
The people of Tsushima were all killed and turned into human flesh jerky!”
"I don't think there's anyone like Master who thinks of Koreans in Japan by race, you know?
If you were to divide it up, I think there are people who would divide it into North Koreans and South Koreans."
"I don't like Silla people!
On the other hand, people from Jeolla Province and Jeju Island are welcome!
I really want to become friends with them!
However, it makes me sad to see even members of the Japanese media from Jeolla Province and Jeju Island disparage Japan!
From the perspective of people on Jeju Island, isn't the Korean government an enemy?
They killed 60,000 of their own relatives, parents and siblings, right?
On the contrary, 1,300 years ago, Japanese people were the same people and citizens of the same country!
If you're good enough to get a job in the media, learn some proper history!
If you live in Japan, please support Japan!"
"You're too passionate..."
"In my opinion, people living in Japan are brainwashed by anti-Japanese education from a young age!
All Japanese people are evil!
Otherwise, it's weird.
If you know the history, there's no way people from Jeju Island and Japanese people can't get along!"
"As always, your interpretation of history is way above the rest...
In fact, I think it's a way of thinking that is incompatible with the people of Netouyo and the people of Sayoku..."
"My theory is definitely correct!
My interpretation isn't condescending to Japan, Korea, North Korea, China, or any other country!
Do not look at it through colored glasses, stay true to history!
Actually, I hate people who distort history!"
"You guys... what on earth are you talking about!?"
Mary seemed to be listening as hard as she could to understand the word Japan that she loved so much.
However, perhaps because it was too difficult, she started to heat up with steam coming out of her head.
"It's okay! Mary-san. Even Japanese people don't understand it!"
For some reason, Shiro was kind to Mary and comforted her.
