I Teach Kendo in Tokyo Chapter 59: For a colorful tomorrow

Chapter 252 For a Colorful Tomorrow

Honami Nanjo took the microphone and took the stage: "Hello everyone, I'm Honami Nanjo from Class B in the third year."

She changed into another outfit, this time looking like a female artist coming out and wearing a soft felt hat that is now trending among artists.

How popular is this soft hat among artists in this era? Look at the old manga of Osamu Tezuka and Fujiko Fujio. As long as the hat is worn, it must be a painter or a cartoonist, and it has become an identity. The label is the expression of that level.

Nanjo looks very good in this outfit, and Kazuma always thinks she's trying not to take the lewd route.

She is determined to show distinction with the president.

Niannan Rica is also pitiful, showing the most powerful weapon, and then the two main opponents are not able to take the attack head-on.

Here one plays the drum and the other plays the piano, both are real talents. Although Nanjo may be required to practice at home and does not really like the piano, her level is said to be enough to participate in regional competitions.

There is no talent blessing to be able to practice to this point, she must have invested a lot of energy and hard work.

While Ma admired Nanjo's "new skin", she continued: "If you play the piano alone, it may be a little high and low, so I decided to cooperate with Fujii Mikako, and I play her singing."

He Ma stared suspiciously at Mikako who was on stage.

Mikako has also changed to a "new skin", this time dressed as an orthodox Showa idol, the same as when Matsuko was singing Blue Coral Reef.

He Ma suddenly noticed something, wouldn't it...

Honami Nanjo: "Next, please listen to this song "Blue Coral Reef"."

As expected, it was the song "Blue Coral Reef" that Nichinan Rica had just sung.

Fujii Mikako held the microphone: "I don't sing as well as Nichinan-san, I only have karaoke level, but Honami said it doesn't matter... So I'll show my ugliness, you can just listen to her piano, just listen to the piano !”

Nanjo just smiled, pressed the microphone to the microphone stand next to the piano, sat down gracefully, pressed a few keys to test the sound, and then turned to Mikako to signal that it was time to start.

Kawama heard Chiyoko muttering: "Is this really good? Although Nichinan can sing just as well, but Mikako's singing is really super ordinary."

"Don't tell me, they went to the beauty pageant. I didn't participate in the whole process. Your participation rate is higher than mine. You were at least in the curtain of Nanjo's house just now. Didn't you listen to them inside? ?"

"No, I only heard Mikako complaining about not knowing what to do with the talent show. It's really not good and can only dance the sword."

He Ma looked at the stage: "Then what's going on now?"

Chiyoko shrugged: "I don't know. When I was leaving, I heard Mikako thinking divergently, saying that she would wear a puppet and dance the sword."

Neither Ma and Ma don't know what to say about Mikako's whimsy.

"Perhaps Nanjo sees that she might make a fool of herself and pulls her?" He said the most reliable guess in his mind.

Chiyoko immediately agreed: "It's possible. I suddenly feel that Mikako-senpai is so pitiful. Let's prepare her favorite tea tonight."

At this time, Nanjo began to play the piano.

The original accompaniment of Blue Coral Reef does not have a piano, but Nanjo has changed it to a version with a solo piano accompaniment.

Even people who don't understand music can tell that this piano is extremely difficult to play. In the music game, it's the starting point of the octopus monster.

Mikako started singing to Nanjo's piano.

Then and Ma understood Nanjo's reason for doing this. With her level of piano performance, the audience's attention was drawn away by the piano, and they would ignore Mikako's level.

As long as Mikako is standing there, she can sway gently from side to side like Matsuko does when she sings about the blue coral reef.

Of course, the song can't be sung too badly, but to be honest, Mikako's song is considered good among amateurs who have two voices. superior.

In this way, a singing voice that is ok by ordinary people's standards, plus a foul piano accompaniment that is too strong by ordinary people's standards, on average, you can get a super powerful performance effect.

He Ma noticed that the people around him had begun to sway gently to the melody.

Chiyoko murmured in a low voice: "This... the effect is really unexpected, it's just pulling Mikako-senpai. But this way, Mikako-senpai can't raise her head in front of Nanjo-san at all, right? She really became the maid in Okada-san's script."

When I heard it with Ma, I realized that it was really interesting. In the future, Mikako will always be Nanjo's foil? When will the childhood sweetheart stand up?

At the end of the song, Mikako held the microphone in one hand and raised the other hand: "Is it good? Do you want to listen to another song?"

The people who just rocked to the music had mixed responses: "Want to!"

"Then the second song, "The Autumn Period"! Honami, music!"

And Ma was speechless, this is indeed another song Nienan sang just now.

Chiyoko: "This second song looks like Mikako-senpai's idea."

He Ma nodded: "You can tell by listening to Nanjo's piano. This time there is no complicated arrangement. The main melody of the song is played on the piano, and then repeated rhythm phrases are added."

This time, Nanjo's piano has become less expressive, but Mikako may be having fun, playing significantly better than the last time.

He Ma felt that it was right for him to go to Nichinan now. She was rubbed against the ground by the two powerful enemies with resources far exceeding hers, and finally was compensated by Mikako, who was born similar to her.

"I... leave for a while," said He Ma.

"Are you going to find Nichinan-senpai?" Chiyoko said, "I have no objection, as long as I can increase the income of the dojo, I don't care, but, brother, think about how it ends in the end. Problem. Japan is a monogamous country!

"But bro, you might be in politics in the future, so treat it as if I didn't say it."

There are two kinds of people in this country in Japan who will not have an accident even if they are found to have a lover. One is a writer, you see Osamu Dazai's glorious resume; the other is a politician.

And this politician covers a wide range, including not only politicians, but also soldiers and policemen - of course, after the war, Japan theoretically has no soldiers, and the Self-Defense Forces are all civil servants.

Yamoto fifty-six had a lover, and when he was fighting between the aviation faction and the artillery ship faction, he once exposed each other's shortcomings in raising a lover, and in the end he was not dealt with by any military law. happy.

The matter of a politician raising a lover really doesn't even count as black material in Japan. It's a big deal to bow and apologize and retreat behind the scenes, and then come out after the limelight. But public sexual harassment, that is black material, is very strange.

In contrast, Japanese stars are much worse, and their derailment will be over if they are exposed.

He Ma ignored his sister's complaints and left the venue directly.

He doesn't have any thoughts about Nichinan either, eager to add her to a luxurious lunch or something, there's no such thing.

He just felt that if it was his apprentice who changed Nichinan's life trajectory, then he had the responsibility to bring this girl back.

She still looks like a pretty good girl, she can't be left in the quagmire of the entertainment industry. If you get into it and become famous, that's fine, but most people in the entertainment industry are destined to accompany them.

As soon as Ma and Ma arrived at the backstage separated by a curtain, they saw that Niinan Licai had finished changing and was standing under the awning built by the student union, looking at the stage with arms crossed.

There is no one in the executive department of the student union around her, and they may have all been sent to work.

He Ma walked towards her, and before he could speak, the girl spoke first: "Come to appease my defeated general?"

"It's to clean up the chicken feathers left by my apprentice's reckless actions." He Ma teased.

"Apprentice?" Nianna Ricai looked at Kazuma in surprise, "Uh...you mean the three seniors?"

"Otherwise? You don't really think we are in that kind of relationship with Weekly Fang Chunli, do you? Don't be silly, you're a girl too, would you let yourself be part of the freaky relationship that Weekly Fang Chunli portrayed? Me and them , is a very healthy mentoring relationship, of course I do not deny that they have the idea of ​​turning the mentoring relationship into other relationships."

"Under the condition of knowing this, do you still maintain the mentor-apprentice relationship?" Niinan Rina frowned, "Really, it's too bad. Although I can't tolerate myself being part of the kind of relationship written in the weekly magazine Fang Chun, But I also cannot tolerate being part of the real situation."

Shrugs with Ma: "It's your freedom. I'm just here...just thought you might need to have a chat with someone. I'm pretty good at giving people advice."

After all, and the horse pointed out a legal knight.

Nichinan Rica was silent, as if she didn't intend to speak.

So He Ma continued: "Although the result of the vote is not yet certain, after all, there are quite a few people who think with their lower bodies. They may vote for you in order to praise gravity. But..."

Nichinan Rica smiled: "Praise the gravity? This is really interesting. Are you an interesting person, senior?"

"There's nothing wrong with this statement, isn't it? Gravity is really amazing." When He Ma said this, he deliberately glanced at Rinan's chest.

Before, he restrained himself from looking below the girl's neck.

Niannan Ricai laughed even more: "Gravity hehehe..."

"That's not the point. What I'm trying to say is that although you may not lose now, you have already given up, haven't you?"

"That's right." Niinan Rica gathered her smile and looked at the stage, "I have already brought out my best things, and I can't win even like this. The world is really unfair."

"Yes, some people are born with a golden spoon, and some people are gifted by God. Although some people have been emphasizing the saying that people who are born must be useful, but even so, the difference between talent and talent itself It is also unequal."

"Senior, are you here to tell me these things I already know?" Nichinan Rica asked rhetorically.

"Of course not," He Ma organized the language a little, "Before I preach, let me ask, what's your reason for wanting to win?"

"Does this still need a reason? Whether it's a game or life, isn't it a matter of course to want to win?"

"Then your definition of victory in life is to release a big-selling single, act in a popular national drama, and finally go to a red and white singing party to become a national star?"

"I didn't think about it that much, but... it should be?" Nichinan Rica answered uncertainly.

"Why do you have to follow the path of showbiz?"

"Because... I'm pretty good looking, aren't I? That's one of my few talents."

He Ma took another look at Rinan Rica's face, and indeed this girl looks good.

When they met their eyes, Nianna Rica added: "I don't wear much makeup, because it's hot and busy at work, and it's very troublesome to put on thick makeup, and it will be a mess with sweat."

"Natural beauty." He Ma stuttered, "It's not surprising that you have such thoughts. But don't you think the chances of debuting in the showbiz and becoming a big star are a little too low?"

"Before I became a reader model, I was full of confidence that I could kill the Quartet with just my looks, but I found out that the readers and models of the same period were all beautiful." Niinan Rina smiled self-deprecatingly.

"My agent is in charge of many readers and models at the same time, and each of them is a school girl in his own school, a popular lover of boys, and I am naive."

He Ma: "There is an old saying in China that there is an old saying in China that there is a strong middle hand, and I am the same in the world of kendo, I think I am already very strong, and when I leave school, I find strong people like me everywhere Yes."

"But you already have the Kuixing flag, at least you are the No. 1 high school swordsman in Japan, aren't you?"

That's because I'm hanging up... Kama certainly can't say that.

"No, because there is a Jade Dragon Banner Conference in West Japan. When I get the Jade Dragon Banner, I can say that I am the strongest swordsman in high school. But time is running out, because when the next Jade Dragon Banner conference is held, I will already be a college student. .

"And there is nothing to brag about being the strongest in high school. There are many strong people above.

"I know at least two ultimate powerhouses who hold the title of Juggernaut are still alive."

Nina Rica looked at Kazuma suspiciously: "So, are you trying to persuade me not to be discouraged, to continue to struggle in the entertainment industry just like your struggle in the field of kendo?"

"No, it's not. What I'm trying to say is that people like me who inherited the dojo and should continue to make great strides in the world of martial arts chose to go to the University of Tokyo. Do you know why?"

Niannan Rica looked at Kazuma: "Why? I thought about it before, but I didn't understand it. I just wanted to ask my brother when I had a chance."

"Because you don't need to be appreciated by others, you don't need to rely on connections and opportunities, as long as you study better than other candidates and perform better than others, you can be admitted. So I failed the university entrance exam. , it only shows that you are not good, other candidates in the same examination room are stronger than you. It is not easy to find excuses to excuse yourself."

Actually, there are other reasons, such as someone cheating in the same exam room, or someone impersonating you, but Hema ignored these "small probability events" at this time.

He stretched out his index finger and pointed at the Japanese cuisine: "I think you should go to college more than the entertainment industry. You can be the student council president, which means you have good grades. I think this is the right way."

Nianna Rica shook her head: "Senior, you're a boy, you can think like that. I'm a girl, and even if I go to university, I'll just become a reserve for Mrs. Kuo. I can't be in politics and I can't..."

"Why can't you?" Kazuma interrupted Nichinan Rica's words, "Japan studied under the British during the Meiji Restoration, what should the Prime Minister be called now?"

Niannan Licai hesitated for a while. She has not yet entered the university preparation stage. The second year of ordinary high school will not be able to take the current international politics exam.

And the Japanese cuisine is a girl, and it is normal not to care about international politics.

"Is... don't know, Churchill?"

"It's Mrs Thatcher."

"Women?"

"Of course, everyone is called Mrs. Japan is always half a beat in this regard, but in the foreseeable future, there will definitely be more jobs open to women in Japan. Women can become police officers, producers, and diplomats. The era of officials and even prime ministers will surely come.”

Until I crossed with the horse, there was no female prime minister in Japan in my last life, but there will definitely be in the future. In Japanese science fiction movies and anime, the image of many prime ministers has already appeared.

For example, the first season of the new TV version of Ghost in the Shell features an Iron Lady prime minister.

Nichinan was shocked by Kazuma's statement.

"Is that so... No? Japan is a very traditional country..."

"No! Yes! Think about it, in Yae Niijima's time, girls couldn't even go to school. After the Meiji Restoration, girls also had the right to go to school.

"Before the war, Japanese general full-time universities didn't even admit girls, and girls could only go to women's universities if they wanted to go to university. Now, the former Imperial University, East University, has opened its doors to girls too?"

Nichinan Rica's mouth is half-open, apparently wanting to say something to refute, but can't.

He Ma felt that he had regained the feeling when a sales representative fooled foreigners to buy products.

But just like in his previous life, he can sell the product, provided the product is really of good quality. And this time what he said to Nichinan Rica, the reason why it seems to make sense is mainly because it really makes sense.

And the horse was just based on plausible facts, with statements that would make it seem more plausible.

"So?" Nichinan Rica gave up refuting He Ma and moved on to the topic directly.

"So, if you don't want to be a big star and go to a red and white song party, but just want to realize your life value, then you don't have to go to the entertainment industry at all. You can go to college. It won't waste your natural beauty, beautiful People can eat better wherever they go.

"And correspondingly, whether you can achieve your goals depends only on whether you can work harder and perform better than other competitors. This is much more than the entertainment industry. At least your destiny will be controlled by you. In your own hands, if you lose, you can’t blame others. More importantly, you don’t have to sell your looks when you go to college.”

Niannan Rica nodded thoughtfully: "Senior, what you said... Well, it seems to make sense. I will seriously consider the senior's words."

He Ma's eyes moved to the top of Nichinan Rica's head, and found that there was no entry.

Sure enough, it's not that easy to generate entries. This operation doesn't even have time-limited entries.

At this time, Niannan Licai suddenly laughed: "I always feel that the senior is very concerned about whether I will sell my color and start a pillow business?"

"Forget it, I don't want to see one day in the future, the lovely juniors wash their faces in tears all day because the pillow business did not get the expected results." He Ma responded in a teasing tone.

"Ah, that's all? Don't you want me to be your apprentice, senior?"

Facing the sudden straight ball, He Ma smiled: "It's not that I don't have this idea. After all, I'm short of money now. It's always good to have an extra tuition fee."

Niannan Rica looked at Kazuma in surprise: "Do you... care about tuition fees?"

"Otherwise? My sister has been encouraging me to drag you into the dojo so that I can collect your tuition fees."

Nianna Rica was silent for a second before pointing at her chest: "Senior, are you not interested in this at all?"

He hesitated with Ma and said that he was not interested. It must be false, but he readily admitted that he was interested, and it was too straightforward. What should I do...

"What," Niinan Rica sighed with relief, "I'm still interested. I thought you were immune after watching too much, senior."

"Does it matter if you are interested in meat?" He Ma asked back, "You don't like me."

"I don't like it, I don't like it now, but if you go to the senior to learn kendo, maybe you will like it."

He Ma heard what she was thinking, so he asked directly: "But you don't want to come to me to learn kendo, do you?"

"If I stopped being a reader model, I would go. At this stage, I still want to try to see how far I can go. When I can't go on without selling my looks, I will come back and prepare for college with peace of mind. Then go to the senior to learn kendo. At that time, senior, please accept me as my body and mind are broken."

"Quit before your body and mind are broken! Can you cherish yourself?"

"Hahaha, it's a rhetorical trick. I was about to be persuaded by my agent, thinking that I was selling my color when I took a swimsuit photo in a magazine. It's not impossible to sell a little more. But today, I suddenly realized So, even if I sell the hue, I won't necessarily win, and then you will come over, senior."

Niannan Licai stood up and sighed deeply: "I figured it out, and when I turned back, I told my manager that I would never do any business. After that, the work should be drastically reduced. After all I'm just a reader model, and I'm not officially signed."

He and Ma were about to say something when Nianna Licai suddenly bowed to him: "Thank you, senior."

Isn't it a senior, but a senior?

After she straightened up, she was the valiant student council president Niinan Licai again.

And Ma checked the top of her head again, but didn't see the entry.

However, this time, he should be regarded as turning Nianna Rica's life back on the normal track?

As for when she came to the dojo to learn kendo, Kazuma decided not to think about such a thing, maybe one day she wanted to learn, so she came directly.

Rina Niinan smiled and said, "I have the flyer from the kendo club, senior, and I will pass it when I want to learn it. You must do your best to study for the senior exam. The persuasiveness of that rhetoric will drop sharply, and then I might have to go to the entertainment industry to realize the value of life again.

"Time to vote, I'm on stage."

After talking about Japanese cuisine, he walked towards the stage with light steps.

And the horse watched her on the spot.

**

In the end, Nichinan Rina lost to Nanjo Honami by a slight disadvantage and finished runner-up.

She ran over to Kazuma and said, "Senior~IndoMTL.com~ Look, at least I won Taiko!"

Without waiting for Ma to answer, she was called away by a member of the executive department of the student union in the distance.

Chiyoko next to Kazuma squinted at her brother: "Brother, she has been teased by you like this, why doesn't she come to learn kendo? Are you seriously soliciting customers!"

"I have it! Besides, what does it mean to be 'like this', isn't it normal for her?"

"She's calling you a different name!"

"Isn't there much difference between senior and senior?"

"But the name suddenly changed, this is definitely suspicious! No, I want to report it to the seniors!"

"No, wait for me! I didn't do anything, why should I be said as if a scumbag was caught?"

"I don't care, I'm going to complain, now, right now! Ah, the egg is right there!"
