I Teach Kendo in Tokyo Chapter 46: Night driving


That night, it was past eleven o'clock when Kazuma came out.

Get into the car, Kazuma said to Bonami: "I feel like I'm almost sober, why don't I drive?"

"Drinking and driving prohibited!" Honami patted Kazuma, "Sit next to me."

And the horse can only be moved to the co-pilot position.

He is still worried: "This car needs to be put on a gear with such a long pole, and this pole is still very heavy, can you do it?"

"What are you talking about, I've been practicing kendo with you for so long, and I can handle any length and weight of poles."

Speaking of which she closed the door, started the engine, and shifted smoothly.

He Ma looked at this and she suddenly smiled: "You know, across the sea in China, there is a female bus driver, you look like that."

Honami glanced at He Ma: "Why do you feel that you are very familiar with Chinese things."

——Nonsense, my family!

He Ma can't tell the truth, but can only say: "I am interested in Chinese culture, so I learned more about it."

Honami drove the car out of the parking lot, and just turned a corner and said, "This car is so heavy, I obviously turned the steering wheel all the way, and the turning radius is still that big."

"Look at the size of this car! It's weird that the radius is so small. Can you do it? Otherwise, I'll do it."

"No! Drunk driving is prohibited! Just sit down and watch me play."

He Ma shrugged and opened the window on his side, letting the wind pick up his hair.

Seeing this, Honami reached out to turn off the air conditioner, but she got the switch wrong and flipped the switch on the crepe cart's player.

The crepe ad song resounds through the night sky.

Fortunately, she flipped the switch back immediately.

"You, tell me about buying a car earlier, and I can get you a retired car from an affiliated company of the Nanjo Foundation."

"You can get a retired car for 50,000 yen? Okay, I bought it all."

He Ma put his arms on the open car window, looked at the street scene that kept retreating, and continued: "This car is also good, the tonnage is large, in case of any emergency, you can use this car as a bumper car Drive, nothing but a heavy truck can hit it."

Honami sighed: "I personally don't want such a big scene. I feel that a big scene like Indiana Jones is enough."

"Wait a minute, are you saying that the Indiana Jones scene is small? It's not too small, okay!" He Ma complained, "The Indiana Jones scene is already a big scene that the Japanese film industry cannot produce. ."

"Can't it be filmed? Isn't the scene in "Ran" very big?"

"That's Akira Kurosawa, okay? Only Akira Kurosawa can mobilize the resources of the Japanese film industry to make such a movie... Wait a minute, have you seen it?"

"My grandfather had an investment, so he was invited to the preview, and I went with me." Honami glanced at He Ma, "It's you, why do you feel like you've seen it too?"

——Because I did see it, but in a previous life.

He Ma explained, "I saw the advance special in the movie magazine, so I knew it was a big deal."

"That's it."

Wipe off the sweat with Ma, but fortunately Honami doesn't like to get to the bottom of things.

The release of "Ran" in this time and space will be later, so there is no place for ordinary people to watch it now.

I remember in my last life that it was released in June 1985.

Silence came, and Kazuma was sober, so he didn't speak, and Honami drove quietly.

After a while, Honami suddenly laughed: "I suddenly feel like this is not bad."

He Ma didn't catch her thoughts and asked, "How is it?"

"That's it, I'm driving the car, you're sitting in the co-pilot blowing the wind, just watching the thousands of lights outside running backwards. Don't you think it feels good?"

He Ma looked out the window and felt it: "Well, it seems to be quite good."

"Why don't we take a long detour." Honami said in a tone of rescue advice, "It's already so late anyway, and it's okay if it's later."

"Okay." He Ma agreed without thinking.

Honami turned the steering wheel, left the original route, and turned into another road.

"Don't go too far, I have to go to work tomorrow." He Ma urged.

"Don't worry, I'm being measured."

Honami drove down a small road with few cars, feeling that even the distance between the street lights was getting bigger.

Driving on the road for a while, she laughed again: "I can't believe that I suddenly have time to be alone. I thought I would never have such an opportunity."

"How come, it's not life and death."

"I'm talking about the opportunity to be alone. Although it's good for everyone to have a lively together, but..."

Honami did not continue.

He Ma: "Only that monkey could be called lively when he came back from England."

"Aren't there many children who come to learn kendo on Sundays? I think it's quite lively."

"That's true." He Ma curled his lips, "It's a pity that those children are not so much here to learn kendo, but because their parents want to go away on Sunday, so they entrust their children with us."

Honami also smiled: "Indeed. Originally, it was impossible to learn kendo if you only practiced two days a week. Didn't you tell those parents that you would also send their children over at ordinary times? Xiao Qian would also be happy to come back from school every day to earn some money. Extra money?"

"She's always wanted to do this, but few parents responded."

"That's it."

Honami was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly said: "It would be great if the days went on like this, without the well-being technology that secretly expands power, and without Hechuan Falong."

"Unfortunately, they are there, and they are still advancing their plans step by step."

"Yes. Speaking of which, I asked about the situation of Soichiro Uesugi, who was sent to the hospital by you. He is completely paralyzed on the bed. something."

He Ma was speechless: "Of course they plan to do something, Uesugi Soichiro is a swordsman-level strength, and it is a rare material for welfare technology."

"You said that Fufu Technology has done so many things, what do you want to do? Do you want to rule the world? The United States and the Soviet Union cannot allow this to happen, right? Those two countries have so many nuclear bombs in their hands that they can destroy the earth several times. Domination of the world is impossible in reality, isn't it?"

He Ma: "Maybe they want to live forever. Immortality is very attractive to the top executives of the United States and the Soviet Union."

Honami sighed: "The immortal monsters deliberately want to become human, but the short-lived humans yearn for immortality."

"People in the besieged city want to come out, and people outside the besieged city want to go in." He Ma said softly.

"Ah, I know this, it's the Chinese writer Qian Zhongshu, right?" Bonami said, "I also read a lot of Chinese works in my four years of college."

"Just because I like China?"

"Stop being arrogant, it's the Chinese culture that is attractive." Bonai gave He Ma a whiter look.

He Ma smiled and said, "Then tell me, what have you seen? Four years have passed, and I haven't heard you say this."

"First of all, I have finished reading all of Lu Xun's works. Before I saw Kenzaburo Oe, who said that if he had the opportunity to write the true story of Q, he would rather not have all of his current works and change this opportunity. I also I thought he was exaggerating, but after reading it, it was really amazing."

He Ma nodded: "Lu Xun's sadness is that his essays are still valid to this day, indicating that human beings have not made the slightest progress."

Honami nodded: "Yes."

He Ma continued to ask, "Is there anything else besides Lu Xun?"

"Qian Zhongshu. And Schopenhauer." Bonami said a few more names that had nothing to do with Ma, "In the end, it's Romance of the Three Kingdoms."

In Japan, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is directly called "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and Chen Shou's Romance of the Three Kingdoms is often confused with the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

He Ma: "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, I saw that Zhuge Liang was dead and stopped watching. For me, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms ended when the dead Zhuge scared off the living Sima Yi."

"From a commercial point of view, Liu Guanzhang and Zhuge Liang, who were portrayed as the protagonists, died one after the other.

He Ma smiled and said, "In his time, it was a commercial work. It was like the story of Monte Cristo, which was also published in a popular capacity.

"In the era when the Romance of the Three Kingdoms was written, there must have been many other popular themes, but only a few of the most artistic ones were handed down, so they became famous and classics.

"Time is like a sieve, only things that can stand the test of time will stay. I think in the current popular, there are some people who will still read it a hundred years later, that is, he is a masterpiece, It's literature."

Honami replied thoughtfully: "You mean, there may be future classics in those businesses now? This...I have read a few books of that kind of swordsman just to pass the time, I really don't think so. They will become literature."

He Ma: "Those literary critics in those days saw Monte Cristo the same way."

Honami was silent for a few seconds, and then said: "Then do you think that every book you have bought will become literature in the future?"

He Ma: "No, I buy every one to pass the time."

Actually, it's for a dream come true.

He Ma had wanted to get a set of the first edition of The Legend of the Galactic Heroes for a lifetime, but found the price was out of the question.

In a few years, I will buy the Chronicle of Rhodes Island with my horse, which is also a thought in my previous life.

When Kazuma was a junior high school student, Deedlit, the heroine of The Chronicles of Rhodes Island, established his beautiful fantasy of elves.

By the way, because Deedlit's impression was too strong, when Kazuma saw the Lord of the Rings for the first time, before Legolas opened his mouth, he thought he was a girl, and thought this Deedlit was very expressive Well.

Honami glanced at He Ma: "Is it really to pass the time? But every June 1st, you will pretend to be dead in your corridor and say 'I'm sorry Fletelliga', this is in the book 's lines, right? Why do I think you have a deep affection for The Legend of the Galactic Heroes?"

Kawama: "I still sing Miluo Yuanshui at 226, I'm just playing."

In fact, it's all a habit left over from a previous life. In my previous life, I mixed with horses in military forums and military housing circles. Every year, a group of people would show up, but they were just playing tricks.

The same goes for the annual Christmas chanting "Barney don't fight anymore", which has become an annual carnival for a small group of people.

And Kazuma, who was reincarnated into this world, performs these actions every year, which adds another meaning to maintaining the connection between himself and his previous life.

Honami glanced at Kazuma and changed the subject: "A few days ago, Akino Anno and the others came to visit you?"

"Hmm. How did you know that?"

"I've been talking on the phone with Xiaoqian a lot recently. The phone company has launched a new service that offers free call time every month. You know Xiaoqian's character, she doesn't think she should use this call time. It's a loss."

He Ma smiled: "Indeed. So you can grasp my daily movements through Chiyoko..."

"I'm okay! Don't make me look like a stalker!" Honami's voice rose a lot.

Kazuma: "Okay, okay, you didn't. Akino Anno did come here, and they are repaying their debts in pain recently. Their movie a few years ago made the gold master's father suffer a lot. In the next ten years, they may have to pay for it. Pay the debt and live."

Actually, Kazuma thought about taking Anno Akito directly to shoot Evangelion, but the explosion of Evangelion is not only due to its excellent quality, but also because of the times.

Getting Evangelion out now won't necessarily explode.

It's '85, on the tail end of the first golden age of Japanese animation.

Macro Fortress, armored cavalry and other works plus the famous Gundam are the mainstream of this era.

The works of this era echo the psychology of the Japanese people who are heading for the bubble era, and they are full of positive vigor. At this time, an animation with an awkward teenager full of negative thoughts as the protagonist is not enough to die. fast?

Honami asked curiously, "What works are Anno and the others doing now?"

"It seems to be a story of a giant robot and a beautiful girl."

Although Evangelion is also a story of a giant robot and a beautiful girl, Kazuma is talking about "Leaping the Peak" here.

Honami blinked: "They actually plan to follow the trend? Seeing that the theatrical version of Macross is selling well, just follow the trend?"

"No, their robot is driven by two female pilots," He Ma said.

"Huh? Female pilot? That's quite novel."

"Right in your strike zone, right?" He Ma laughed.

Honami, as a new independent woman ~IndoMTL.com~, naturally has a good impression of this kind of work by women.

Honami added: "But... this setting will make those who are used to seeing traditional robot works unhappy? After all, in traditional robot works, women are vases, and Macross is just a vase that can sing. "

"They also struggled with their thoughts for a long time, but they are die-hard fans of the Valley of the Wind, and finally decided to make a work with a pure female protagonist like the Valley of the Wind."

Honami showed a regretful expression: "The Valley of the Wind is also a big hit, and the box office is bleak."

Jepley is also in debt now, and Hayao Miyazaki was in debt because of his debts, so he made the film Castle in the Sky, the leading actor.

However, Castle in the Sky did not sell many movie tickets, forcing Hayao Miyazaki to start commercial production in his next work.

Hao Miyazaki said that "born is the ** of the voice".

In order to live, I had to lower my high head.
