Fushimi Roku felt a sense of déjà vu from watching the movie "The Tomato Millionaire". As Yamaguchi Takashi was boasting in front of Minamoto Tamako, that iconic scene began playing in his head: "I originally planned to get along with you as an ordinary person, but it only led to alienation. Fine, I won't pretend anymore, I'm a billionaire, and I'm coming clean!"
He could even imagine how Yamaguchi Takashi would be humiliated. Once Minamoto Tamako transformed from a meek little patrol police into the heiress of a financial tycoon, slapping Yamaguchi Takashi's face with ten-thousand yen bills bearing Fukuzawa Yukichi's portrait, she would softly utter that classic line: "But I still like your original rebellious self"...
Nowadays, the main source of income for local police departments in Japan comes from government allocations, bond issuances, and social donations. As for national tax allocation, it's nothing more than an empty promise.
