In this part, things get complicated and the warring parties multiply. How could they not, when war and conflicts are raging all over the world? Japan emerges from its setbacks neither unscathed nor victorious, but with one desire: expansion in Asia in particular and the world in general. As a result, hostilities arise among everyone, mixing the innocent with the guilty, the perpetrator with the victim. Japan does not stop there, but rather plots here and there to create the justifications and motivations necessary for progress. As for Mizuki, his anecdotes from that period are numerous. He is still a young boy who understands worldly affairs only what he sees and hears from his peers, and is only concerned with the delicious sweets that enter his stomach. Even in the midst of that gloomy period, Shigeru always finds something to create material for enjoyment and entertainment. Here we come to the question that is finally on everyone's tongue: How long will we continue to remain in the muddy swamp, I wonder...?
