[Machine Translation] Tsukishiro attended a reception for journalists hosted by the prime minister in place of the editor-in-chief. When the prime minister saw him, his surprised face looked as if he had seen a ghost.

Suddenly, the memory of a conversation she had had with a man at a bar in a hot spring resort town five years earlier came back to her. The reason why he was being targeted was because of what had happened that night.
