From: Bangkok.

The Thai government is changing to a floating exchange rate. Its currency’s crash is expected to have a knock-on effect on other Asian countries.

“So that’s the situation,” I explained.

“You sound way too unconcerned,” Eiichi-kun sighed.

The three boys and I were having a study meeting in our school’s library. Even here, there was a plain-clothed, female police officer standing guard at the side of the room.

Yuujirou-kun glanced at her. “Does that mean you won’t be able to attend tomorrow’s boat party?”

Despite the latest explosive development in the Asian currency crisis, the minister of finance was throwing a party—or perhaps it was precisely because of the crisis that he wanted to keep everyone united. The truth was that it was to collect funding for next year’s House of Councilors election, and Dietman Izumikawa Tatsunosuke’s bid to run for the next party leader.

“No, if you think about it, I shouldn’t be invited regardless.”

The current minister of foreign affairs was also running for next party leader, and his ministry was one of nobility’s strongholds. Diplomacy with other places where nobility had survived, such as Europe, could be wrought with complications.

If the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was our stronghold, then our headquarters was the Privy Council. It had survived the post-war period in this world, and that was because nobility was even more protective of it than the House of Councilors.

“After what happened with Keika Bank, shouldn’t your family want to get on the minister of finance’s good side?” Mitsuya-kun pointed out, sounding a little fed up with things.

Due to my grandfather’s arrogance and the scandal surrounding my father, the Keikain family were outcasts within noble society, despite the family’s high position. That was why it devoted itself entirely to its businesses, an attitude to which it owed its current prosperity.

“Oh, I don’t think anybody is going to be making a big deal out of banking business. But I suppose I will be forced to go anyway, to fill in for the family head.”

There was probably a lot of strategizing going on among the adults at the moment.

I put down my pen and sighed. “It is so, so inconvenient not being able to make my own decisions in life.”
