[1][2] Keita Asakura, an elementary school teacher who has no interest in politics, suddenly gets taken to the position of the Prime Minister.
He is forced to campaign in the Fukuoka Prefecture for a seat in the House of Representatives for the Seiyu Party when his father and brother, both involved in Diet politics, die in a plane crash en route from Vietnam.
This puts Asakara in the running for the premiership should the Seiyu Party win a majority in an upcoming general election.
Nirasawa and Hikaru arrives in Tokyo from Fukuoka and stays over at his residence, in time becoming his trusted aides.
Onoda, a senior Seiyu politician involved in the Yakushima affair, is asked by Kanbaya to dissuade Asakura's crusade against the dam.
