Yamaguchi Prefecture.
Banking and finance workers are the absolute high-paid people of the Island nation, whether in Tokyo or elsewhere. The young people who can work in banks have already defeated more than half of their peers.
Although the Island nation people are not used to taking loans after the bubble, nothing is absolute. At least among the young people, the proportion of loans from banks to start a business is still gradually increasing, even if … most of them return without success.
"It's so hot."
An employee drank a cup of coffee and then wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Who can withstand such a hot day?
Air conditioning can solve the physical heat, but it can't solve the mental restlessness.
He was worried about the bad debt in his hands.
"That's great, those big shots."
The TV in the office was turned on for the first time, and it was playing the live broadcast of the Sword Inheritance Ceremony by NHK.
For the whole island, this live broadcast was only held on TV, and domestic companies don't have the right to broadcast it online.
Even outsiders can be sure that after the ban on online live broadcast, this time NHK must have reached an unprecedented high rating.
The ceremony seems to be held in a shrine on a mountain, and the miko of the shrine can also be seen, full of a sense of ceremony.
What is worth mentioning is that the miko is not wearing the red and white clothes that are common in modern times, but the kind of women's clothes that are said to be from the Ancient Tomb era.
He didn't know which shrine in Nara this was. The torii, the main hall, the quiet forest, everything was so quiet and mysterious. It was as if a shrine had really been moved from a fantasy world. Their Yamaguchi Prefecture had no other specialties except ugly women.
The technology of the live broadcast was superb. There were multiple cameras and aerial shots. All of them were experienced cameramen. They strived to not make any mistakes. This was not a panel show, and there were no difficult performances. Usually, it would be very difficult to pass without any problems.
The group of big shots slowly passed through torii under the guidance of the miko, it has a feeling of traveling from ancient to modern times.
The restlessness in the office quieted down because of this feeling.
"Sigh."
Looking at the information in his hand, the bitter employee sighed.
Although their duty was to examine other people's qualifications and then lend them money, it could be regarded as an alternative kind of investment. Since it was an investment, there would naturally be failures. However, failure was failure. Anyone would have a headache looking at the pile of information in their hands.
He has too many bad debts, although the club will not directly fire the employee, demotion or transfer him to a more remote place is not a problem, and his annual salary is probably only three million.
The most unbearable of these bad debts, especially a loan a few months ago, 20 million.
The person who loaned the loan is a student who just graduated from a university. Logically speaking, with such qualifications, it is impossible to apply for such a high amount without graduating from a famous university.
But the nature of the other party is special, he mortgaged his dojo to the bank.
Moreover, Kendo Dojo was very popular during this period, which was why it received so much money. However, judging from the business situation in the past few months, the money was probably going to go down the drain.
Judging from the size of the land in a remote area like Yamaguchi Prefecture, the dojo was not worth the money. However, not every pig could take off if they were placed in a tight spot …
Even the Sword of God ceremony on TV can not divert the depression and melancholy in his heart. He is not the inheritor of the Sword of God.
"He said that it will be good to borrow another ten million. If he really has the money, he will be even less motivated."
"And how bad is he that he can't even recruit students?"
This loan customer is the company he contacted, the declining dojo, the kendo dojo!
At first, he thought he found a treasure, but now it seems that it is a trap.
Sure enough, as his family said, I don't need to make any mistakes in this job. Anyway, even if I die in this position, I can still get a large salary.
"Are you still worried about the loan?"
Another colleague in the office looked at the employee with a smile. "I heard that he not only borrows from our club, but also has a lot of private loans. These loans can't be found. Alas, there are such mistakes every year."
"When you get it, it will be a bomb."
"You just said that now?"
"Well, I didn't know before. I only heard about it at a dinner the day before yesterday."
"This guy in glasses looks pure and honest, but he is very cunning. He owes a lot of gambling debts."
"Even if he really wants to use the bank's money to make a comeback, how much will he have left after paying off his gambling debts?"
"Gambling debts?
No way! "
This employee is really surprised. He has seen Flying Kamihara's information several times. He graduated from university and was a good student. He does not look like a gambling addict at all.
The only thing that is not reliable is that he does not have good results in kendo. This was the only thing that worried him when he approved the loan.
"You can't judge a book by its cover. His university is near Nagoya. How would we know what happened in Nagoya?"
An expression of schadenfreude appeared on the colleague's face. Back then, he was also depressed that he couldn't win over such a high-quality customer, but fortunately, he didn't seize this hot potato.
The ceremony shown on the screen slowly proceeded. After the important people from various countries cleaned their hands and took their seats, it was first Kami's dance. Then, to everyone's anticipation, an elderly man walked onto the stage with an ancient wooden box in his hands.
This was the wooden box that contained the divine sword!
Everyone, both at the scene and in front of the television, held their breaths. Even the employees at the Yamaguchi Bank who had been mocking Seigo also stopped their sarcastic expressions.
Compared to a Transcendent, the open and hidden attacks in the workplace, as well as the trivial matters of daily life, all paled in comparison.
The divine sword's true appearance was not revealed yet. It was probably waiting for the divine sword's inheritor to come and take it out.
Not long after the divine sword was taken out, the camera suddenly turned and aimed at a wooden temple in the shrine.
The miko girls bowed slightly. The officials present also realized something.
Island nation's protection of the Transcendent was too strict. It was impossible for the various countries to find anything useful in just a few short days.
The divine sword's origin and the inheritor's information were all unknown.
"Tap tap."
The sound of steady footsteps was captured by the camera. A figure appeared in the darkness …
He was dressed in kendo attire. He was not very tall and was even somewhat thin. He was also wearing a pair of genteel glasses.
Who was it?
This person did not look like someone who could inherit the divine sword at all. Some of the intelligence officers among the officials had made a list of the Island nation's swordsmanship experts. Although these experts were not as strong as bulls, they did not look weak either.
However, this bespectacled guy did not fit the description of any swordsmanship expert.
There was no reason for all the photos on the list to be taken after beauty treatments.
"Flying God of Origin?!"
The Yamaguchi Bank employee jumped up as if he had seen a ghost. His lips, body, and heart were all trembling.
He looked at the information in his hands in disbelief. Then, he looked at the bespectacled guy on the television.
When the commentator slowly said Flying God of Origin's name, his lips curled up into an ecstatic smile. Then, he fell to the ground with a thud.
He was rich!
