Pressure

The pressure for the ban to be eased does came from inside of Japan and outside of Japan at the same time. Tons and tons of petitions and request letter were being given out towards the government for the border reopening to be quickly be done. However with the nature of the demon lord, naturally, all the efforts fell into the trash bin at least for now.

However since then, when one of the most strictest country in border control were already starting to gave up on controlling the virus by itself and directly reopen the border for the foreigners staying with a purpose and for tourism later on, it adds pressure towards Japan having the strictest border control next to China. The demon lord approval rates too had started to drop off significantly as the incompetence on his job had started to be found out by the Japanese citizen. Of course the foreigners had already knew how incompetent the demon lord was especially when foreigners doesn't affect the demon lord approval rate in Japan.

The insurmountable pressure that the demon lord was having causing him to forcefully admit that the demon lord and Japan was slowly losing towards the virus especially when each day, Japan had more than 100 thousand cases slowly causing problem especially in the health care sector. One of the effort that the demon lord was trying to lower the cases was just to again reinstate the state of emergency which was such a nonsense especially when the cases had already reaching towards the hundred thousands.

The vaccination program implemented by the previous government were really quick. Within months, the government had able to vaccinate more than 80 percent of the Japan population while with this demon lord and the booster vaccine, it was a huge disaster. The booster shot wasn't being given out as quickly as before and the virus cases increases at an incredible speed. Moreover slowly the hospital capacity being filled and might caused problem when it hit the maximum capacity. All of this disastrous problem now hinders and reduced the demon lord approval rate.

More and more Japanese had started to realised that a lot of foreigners like Sung were not able to enter Japan and the Japanese also found out that the government was incompetent. More and more Japanese citizen tweeted on how they were not happy and demanding the demon lord to resign from his position.

At least for now, the NPC respond from the government had slowly stopped as they were considering on border reopening. The demon lord political party also was starting to be dissatisfied with how the demon lord has handled this problem too.
