I Teach Kendo in Tokyo Chapter 1: You actually mentioned lighting to me, is this a lighting thing?
The day before the Golden Week holiday, Kazuma led Chiyoko to the headquarters of Sumitomo Construction again.
This time, Ogasawara was led directly to the elevator door to greet him.
After a few greetings, Director Ohara led the Kiryu brothers and sisters into his office, and warmly served tea to the brothers and sisters in person.
He Ma was very happy to see each other's attitude, thinking that this could be regarded as solving their own financial problems.
After all, Kanto United is only responsible for repairing the door, and the indemnity has to go through the process of the Qianqiao Transportation Association, and it will take about half a year to get the money.
I have this savings left, just enough to eat.
So He Ma took the initiative to speak: "Deputy Ohara, about our family's dojo..."
"Don't worry about this," Ohara said with a smile, "We have given up on the acquisition of your dojo, and no one will disturb your brother and sister's lives again."
He and Ma Ben smiled and prepared to count the money, but when he heard this, his smile disappeared.
"Wait a minute, the land around you has almost been acquired, right?" He Ma quickly saved it, "I heard that we are going to build high-end commercial and residential quarters, all of which are buildings. Among the modern buildings, we are the only ones. A short and rubbed dojo..."
What He Ma wanted to say was, "You should just take our dojo as well, otherwise the style will not be unified even if it is short and ugly."
But the Ohara Specialist directly interrupted him: "Don't worry, don't worry! The design of the commercial and residential area is still in the early stage, and the design can be modified!
"We can put green belts and small parks around the dojo, leaving enough space between the dojo and the apartment building!
"It will never block the lighting of the dojo!"
He and Ma were both stunned. Is this a matter of lighting? What do you mean by lighting? You bought the dojo and I will live in a new apartment. I can get the lighting as I want, isn't it fragrant?
"This, let's not talk about lighting, I want to sell the dojo..." He Ma stopped going around, telling the truth.
Specialist Ohara immediately showed a distressed expression: "This may be a bit difficult to implement. The board of directors has decided to keep this dojo.
"And we also have a letter from the Ministry of Education, saying that this dojo may be a cultural relic, and it is not recommended to develop it until the relevant investigation is completed to determine whether it is a cultural relic."
Kazuma frowned, thinking, what else is there to do with the Ministry of Education?
A broken dojo that has not been granted a waiver for two generations, and the entire Sword Union may have forgotten its existence, can it still be a cultural relic?
A characteristic of the bureaucracy in Japan is that it is extremely bureaucratic.
For example, if there is a car accident and the car crashes into a shrine or temple managed by the Ministry of Education on the side of the road, congratulations, the traffic accident will not be under the control of the traffic department, and the traffic police will not be able to deal with it. Officials arrive.
If the Ministry of Education and Culture is now saying that the Kiryu family's dojo is a cultural relic, then even a large company like Sumitomo Construction will not be able to move.
Unless Sumitomo Construction spends another large amount of political donations to open up the channels over the Ministry of Education.
Kazuma didn't expect that Uesugi Soichiro actually had a way from the Ministry of Education - but think about it carefully, he is a swordsman and has so many cultural hobbies, so it is normal to have this way.
Smack his lips with Ma, only to accept the fact that the dojo can no longer be sold.
If Sumitomo Construction does not buy it, other companies will not buy it. The surrounding area is surrounded by land built by Sumitomo, and other companies can come and buy this piece of land alone and can't do anything to develop it.
Specialist Ohara saw that Hema was silent. He seemed to think that Hema didn't understand the current situation, so he continued: "No one will buy this land now, you can live here with peace of mind until the end of the world."
Kazuma glanced at Ohara Specialist: "Thank you for your explanation."
"Ah, you're welcome. Is there anything else I can do for you, Kiryu-kun?"
"No, thank you very much." He Ma stood up straight away, since the land couldn't be sold anyway, so there's no need to stay here, save some time and leave.
Deputy Ohara also stood up and said goodbye to the Kiryu brothers and sisters enthusiastically: "I will take you downstairs."
"No need, Ohara is in charge of you."
"No no no, I'd better take you down. You are a distinguished guest of our company."
Kazuma seriously suspects that this Ohara is deliberately disgusting himself, what an honored guest, if it is a guest, you have bought the land!
But he didn't say it, it's useless anyway, so let's go.
In this way, the Kiryu brothers and sisters came to the Sumitomo Construction headquarters, and they were respectfully sent out the door before their buttocks were hot.
In terms of etiquette, the dignified staff greeted and sent out the door in person, giving the Kiryu brothers and sisters enough face, but it made people feel a little prickly and couldn't feel happy.
Chiyoko asked Kazuma, "What should I do now?"
He Ma scratched his head: "Then... let's go home first, and plan for the long term."
At this time, Kazuma suddenly saw Ito Yusaku's **** dressed as a dog and his bodyguard getting out of the taxi.
Ito Yusaku also saw Kazuma for the first time. He was about to close the taxi door, but he looked at him and got into the car without saying a word.
His attendant looked at him suspiciously: "What's wrong? Forgot something on the scene?"
"Come in if you don't want to be beaten up!" Ito Yusaku reached out and dragged the attendant into the car.
Immediately after, the taxi started and drove away in a hurry.
The Kiryu siblings watched the taxi go away.
Chiyoko: "It's a pity, if you beat him up, brother, you'll feel better, right?"
"It should be." He Ma shook his head, "Go, go home."
"Let's go shopping first, all the food is out." Chiyoko suggested.
"Yes." Kazuma nodded. At this time, he suddenly thought of something, so he asked Chiyoko, "Chiyoko, do you know that the worship of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is the kind of Bodhisattva statue that can be seen from time to time on the roadside, and what kind of tribute is offered? better?"
Chiyoko tilted her head and thought for a while: "It should be... just the fruit, the important thing is the sincerity. What's wrong?"
"Well," Kazuma nodded, "then let's buy some fruit, there is a Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, I think we should give it a tribute."
Kazuma's real thought is that if he pays tribute to the Earth Store Bodhisattva, he might get some temporary buffs. He intends to try all these temporary buffs one by one to confirm the effect and duration.
Chiyoko looked at Kazuma with a question mark on her face, but didn't ask any further questions.
So the brothers and sisters left the headquarters building of Sumitomo Construction, took the subway back to the Geshi District, and bought the ingredients for tonight in the familiar shopping street, as well as the tribute to Jizo Bodhisattva.
According to memory, Kazuma led Chiyoko to find the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva he saw in the rain that day.
He remembered that Earth Store Bodhisattva had a red scarf around his neck. It looked very conspicuous and should not be too hard to find.
But something strange happened.
Kazuma led Chiyoko, and he ran back and forth a few times on the way to Tsuda-gumi that day, but he didn't see any Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
Chiyoko asked Kazuma while wiping her sweat with a handkerchief: "Brother, are you sure you are on this road? Could it be that it was raining heavily that day and the visibility was poor, so you took the wrong path?"
He Ma stood on the shoulder of the red deer and repeatedly checked the surrounding scenery: "That's right, it should be here, I remember it clearly. The Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva should have been here at that time."
Kazuma pointed to the place where Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva stood in his memory.
He was pretty sure he wasn't wrong.
Is it a hallucination?
Or, as a golden finger, what you can see is not only the state of the human being, but also this kind of weird stuff?
The swords are all wise, and it seems that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva can walk by himself is not unreasonable.
At this time, Hema saw the uncle returning from work, so he stepped forward and asked, "Hello, uncle, I would like to ask if there is a statue of Earth Store Bodhisattva here?"
Uncle looked at He Ma with strange eyes: "No. I have lived here for 30 years, I pass by here every day to and from get off work, and I have never seen any Earth Store Bodhisattva."
Kazuma frowned, he thanked the uncle, then turned to look at Chiyoko: "It's weird."
Chiyoko: "There's another grandma over there, I'll go and ask."
After speaking, Chiyoko shoved the things in his hand to Hema, and ran to the old grandma passing by: "Hello, grandma, may I ask, is there a statue of Earth Store Bodhisattva here?"
"What does it look like?" The grandmother asked in a loud voice ~IndoMTL.com~.
"Ksitigarbha!" Chiyoko raised her voice.
"Ksitigarbha? Ah! Some, some. Before the war, there was a Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, but it was demolished after the war. It's been almost 33 years!" The voice said a lot in one breath.
Chiyoko looked back at Kazuma.
Kazuma: "Thank you grandma!"
"You're welcome!" the grandmother responded loudly, then bowed her head and walked her way again.
Kazuma squatted down in the position where Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva stood in his impression, took out the prepared tribute and put it directly on the ground.
He Ma has inherited a simple set of gods and Buddhas from his previous life, called "It's always right to come and pay homage".
As the tribute is placed, he puts his hands together and closes his eyes.
Chiyoko stood behind him, also folded her hands and closed her eyes.
He Ma thought silently in his heart: "Bodhisattva, I had a chance to meet you last time, but I can't repay it. When I get rich in the future, I will definitely come and reshape your golden body for you. You should take this tribute first and make do with it. ."
Kazuma doesn't understand the "professional terms" of Buddhism, so he can only end this nondescript prayer with what he has seen on TV:
"The mighty Heavenly Dragon, World Honored Earth Store, Prajna Buddhas, Prajna Ba Makong."
After reading, I looked at the sky with Ma and breathed a sigh of relief.
It's good that no lightning strikes down and sends me away.
Kazuma stood up and said to Chiyoko, "Let's go."
"Is this all right?" Chiyoko asked, "Will it not be sincere?"
"That's enough. We still have a lot to think about."
Such as studying.
Such as how to get money.
Carrying the ingredients for tonight's dinner with Ma, we strode on our way home.
