Prime Minister Higashiyama gathers young and talented bureaucrats and launches Japan Future Promotion Conference, which is to benefit the future of Japan. Amami Keishi of the Ministry of the Environment and Tokiwa Koichi of the Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry are members of that conference.
One day, Tadokoro Yusuke's article is published in a weekly magazine. His articles warns that Kanto region will sink into the sea. Due to his article, groups begin to hold protests.
