I didn't think she would tear up my speech. To be precise, I didn't think she would tear it up right in front of me.

Densely packed letters, red notes, wedge symbols for adjusting emphasis—things like that fluttered everywhere. Well, I've already memorized it, so it shouldn't matter.

Following that, files containing summaries of legislative matters and notebooks with memos on the opposition's weaknesses were torn as well. And I had no choice but to simply watch. It was because, for the first time in a long while, I found something I desperately wanted to crush under my heel.

Is there a problem?

...Be specific.

Surely she won't make some absurd claim about merely representing the heart of the people after already tearing it up, will she? For a moment, I was almost afraid. What a reckless person.

I knew the economic growth rate was wrong and that there were issues with the revenue estimates. However, there is one fact she doesn't know. Those numbers weren't a mistake. I put in the wrong numbers on purpose. To see who would discover them.

And now, isn't the woman sitting in front of me holding the answer?

Then try it yourself.
