Ikeda Eri

She is the chief of the investigation section of the Preparation Office for Crackdown on Crimes of Power under the Ministry of Law and Order.

It is a newly established department with a very small number of staff, and Eri is dissatisfied with the fact that, contrary to its grand name, it is not expected to do any major work.

Like others, Eri has used her connections to get to her current position, but she is quite talented.

She is always calm and collected, has an elegant smile, and is a flexible person who can handle anything in an adult manner, but she has a strong sense of justice hidden inside, and she wants to eventually elevate the Preparation Office to an investigation office to secure personnel and strengthen crackdown.

Her father is Takaaki Ikeda, a bureaucrat in the Ministry of Law and Order who had close ties with the former prime minister, and she is not particularly happy with the current administration, but she is uncooperative in many ways because she believes that ``Kazuki is a fool, just a prodigal son, unlike his father.''

Eri is used by Kazuki to get Takaaki to move.
