I’m told that the Tokyo police, under the instruction and tutelage of the ultra-nationalist governor Ishihara, can be particularly difficult to deal with, routinely stopping foreigners on their way to work for a “random” I.D. check.
In Kyushu, this behavior seems to be less pronounced, though in recent months two Saga ALTs (possibly more?) have been stopped for no reason other than their obvious non-Japanese ancestry.
In both cases, the police were polite and the whole episode lasted less than five minutes, just enough time to check the ALT’s gaijin card before diving into the topic of Chicago’s two baseball teams.

I believe this happened here in that some opportunities to increase the suspense of a scene was lost due to me as the reader already knowing that Takeo should win based on the prophecy
