I Teach Kendo in Tokyo Chapter 2: In front of the red gate
Chapter 291 in front of the red gate
He and Ma rubbed the Jinguji family's car to the front of Chimen, and found that it was already full of seniors who came to pull new students into the club.
Senior holding a sign saying "Law freshmen who want to visit campus come here to gather" was almost drowned in the crowd.
He Ma was not in a hurry to gather, and looked at each club to recruit people.
He was particularly interested in the tennis club because there were several good-looking seniors.
Of course, his main purpose is not to be a senior. On the Japanese side, special attention is paid to the network of relationships established during the university, which is different from the Chinese university that I have studied in my immediate life.
The experience with Ma in the past life is that after graduation, each of them has their own abilities. The role of the alumni association is basically to go to KTV and sing and reminisce about the life of the classmates for the past four years.
On the Japanese side, the alumni association is a stepping stone for those who step into the upper class from the common people below.
So it's better to take part in various club activities when you are studying in a university in Japan. Not only will you get extra points when you just go out for the social interview, but you can also use the network of alumni to break into the upper management of Japan.
He Ma took the tennis club's flyer from a senior and looked at the time of the tennis club's experience of joining the club.
As soon as he wrote down the time, the flyer was taken by Jinguji: "Tennis, are you interested in tennis?"
And the horse: "I..."
Actually, I'm not interested, but if I say that I'm not interested in tennis at this time, wouldn't it make people mistakenly think that I'm heading for the tennis skirt and big white legs of the tennis club?
"I'm a little interested," said He Ma.
"Then let's go to the Ministry to experience it later." Jinguji put the flyer into his small bag.
At this time, a senior suddenly stood in front of the two and said to Jinguji: "This classmate, you just took the flyer from the tennis club, so you are this year's freshman, right?"
Jinguji nodded.
"Then are you interested in Japanese dance? We are the Japanese Dance Research Association. Dancing in Japanese dance can cultivate one's self-cultivation and make oneself more..."
"Sorry, I've been dancing Japanese dance for three hundred years, and I'm tired of it. I don't want to continue dancing anymore."
The senior was stunned for a moment, then looked at Jinguji with a strange expression: "That...that's disturbing."
Then the senior turned around and slipped away.
Kawama: "You danced the Japanese dance for three hundred years?"
"It's set. Look at how fast the seniors run. Ordinary people will instinctively stay away from mavericks." Jinguji said, "In addition, my family will let me go to some shrines to work as a cameo on important festivals. Therefore, I also received Japanese dance training since I was a child, and I think I can directly serve as their instructor when I go to the Japanese Dance Research Association."
Jinguji's description is as impeccable and convincing as ever.
And Ma then changed the subject: "Don't you have any clubs you are interested in?"
"If there is a department of spirituality, I would really like to go." Jinguji said, glancing at the new seniors, "but I didn't see the sign of the department."
At this time, a senior sister who also wore glasses stopped Kazuma and Jinguji.
"Well, are you interested in literature?" Senior Sister is very short, if it wasn't for her holding a flyer like the other seniors, Kazuma would think it was a passing child.
Well, no kids will show up in front of Akamon in Bunkyo on weekdays. But this senior is really too short, and Hema suspects that she can't even touch the top of her head when she stretches out her hands.
Seeing that neither Kazuma nor Jingujing replied, the senior repeated her question: "Are you interested in literature?"
This time, her voice was much louder. For some unknown reason, Kazuma suddenly felt that this senior's voice was very similar to Ran Yezhong.
With this height and voice, Hema couldn't help but want to bully the next senior, so Hema said, "Little sister, are you here to help your brother and sister distribute flyers?"
"I'm a college student!" Sister Xiaobudian got angry, took out her student ID and shook it with Ma.
"Ah, it's actually a senior. Are you always ready to explain misunderstandings to others with your student ID card?"
"Yeah, can't you? So are you interested in literature?"
He Ma didn't answer yet, a tall senior came out from the side, smiled and said to Senior Sister Xiaobudian, "Ganzhong, are you being treated as a primary school student again?"
Gan Zhong is probably the surname of this little girl.
Sister Xiaobudian frowned and glared at the big senior: "I want you to take care of it!"
"You can also see the object clearly when you pull people, this guy looks like this, and this lower plate, this muscle..."
The principal of the high school came up and squeezed Hema's arm very familiarly: "This person is definitely a judo practitioner, a member of our judo club!"
He Ma said apologetically, "No, I have never practiced judo. I am the natural kendo master Fan Kiryu and Ma."
When the tall senior heard Kazuma's name, he immediately released him, took a step back, looked at Kazuma up and down, and said, "Wow, you are that Kiryu Kazuma? Did you really get into our school? Not much. I saw the report, I even bought the latest issue of the weekly magazine Fang Chun to see if you passed the test, but there is no news at all!"
Sister Xiaobudian also exclaimed: "You are that Kiryu and Ma?"
"Yes, I am."
"Then you must be very interested in literature." Sister Xiaobudian made a judgment with astonishing speed, took out a leaflet, and slapped it on Hema's belly.
The look on her face at first meant she wanted to slap her chest, then gave up and slapped her stomach.
"No, why do you assert that I am interested in literature?"
"Poetry and music are connected! Poetry is part of literature!"
He Ma scratched his head: "This... well, but why don't you come and pull this next to me?"
Sister Xiaobudian glanced at Gongji and said, "I'm not sure if she's tired of writing haiku for three hundred years."
I was happy with Ma, and I immediately liked this senior's club, so I took the flyer and glanced at it.
He thought it was a leaflet for a literary club or something, but it wasn't.
The name of the society on this flyer is: New Strange Talk Research Society.
And the horse's mouth opens into an O shape.
The so-called "new weird talk" refers to the modern weird talk of the SCP type. A notable feature is that the weird talk is presented in the form of scientific research, combining science fiction and fantasy, and it is basically placed in advanced and modern cities. background.
The "new" of the new strange story is mainly relative to the "traditional modern strange story" of the Cthulhu myth created by Lovecraft.
He Ma's impression is that the rise of new strange stories is something that will happen after the new millennium. Now I have the flyer for the New Weird Talk Research Society, which is very new and weird in itself.
At this time, Senior Sister looked at He Ma, staring at the flyer suspiciously, and explained enthusiastically: "The so-called new weird stories are different from traditional weird stories and urban legends. What kind of cracks are traditional weird stories? Girl, the Seven Wonders of the Academy, and we are studying the Cthulhu Myths created by Lovecraft!"
As soon as senior said, Kazuma understood, it turns out that the concept of new and old is always changing. To the Japanese in the 1980s, Lovecraft's works were "new strange stories".
And in another 20 years, the Cthulhu mythology will become part of the "traditional mythology", and people in the future will brew up new myths like SCP.
He Ma was about to respond to Xiaobudian when the flyer in his hand was taken away by Jingu Temple.
"Lovecraft? Cthulhu? What kind of weird talk is that?" Jinguji asked suspiciously.
He Ma knew, but he had to pretend he didn't know.
Jinguji has been with him for the past year, and she is free to come and go in Kiryu Dojo. She probably knew that Kazuma had never had a chance to get in touch with Cthulhu Mythology before.
After all, Kiryu Dojo does not have a single novel about the Cthulhu mythology system, and Kazuma has no time to borrow it from the municipal library.
Sister Xiao Budian was interested in seeing Jingong Temple, so she immediately waved her hand and shouted, "Hey, here are two interested!"
Grab?
Immediately, two other seniors came running with their bags.
The leading flat-headed senior was dumbfounded when he saw Hema and Jingujingji. He pulled Xiaobudian over and whispered, "Hey, is there a mistake? This kind of sports man and super beauty are now charging. How can you join an association like ours? Forget it, instead of being bored when they come..."
"You give the book to others! Maybe people will really like it?" Sister Gan middle school grabbed the bag from Senior Flathead's hand, took out a thick book, and stuffed it in Jingong Temple.
Because Jinguji Temple is shorter than Hema, this time, Little Sister doesn't need to slap the book on Jinguji's belly, but directly on her chest.
He Ma glanced at the cover and found that it was in English. It was translated as "Crazy Mountains". and the story of the indescribable.
Jingongji took the book, glanced at the cover, and smiled: "Okay, I will read it. Where do I go to return it to my senior after reading it?"
"The flyer has the address of our New Strange Talk Research Association. Just send it over there. I'm Miyu Kanaka, a third-year law student, and the president of the New Strange Talk Research Society!"
When it came to the word "chairman", Xiaobudian tried her best to straighten her chest, which reminded Kazuma of the lyrics of a song in her previous life: put on a handsome suit and comb her hair like an adult.
The flat-headed senior behind Gan Zhongmeiyu looked apologetic: "Don't force it, there are many clubs in Dongda, you can read each club, and then think about it slowly. Our club, the usual activities are very boring, It's even more boring than the Manga Research Society..."
"Why do you want to make others' prestige to destroy your own spirit!" Kan Zhong Miyu protested very loudly.
He Ma is actually a little interested in this new weird talk research meeting, because after thinking about it over the past year, I have seen a lot of unbelievable things. Joining this research meeting may help He Ma discover this world the truth.
However, discovering the truth of the world generally comes with great danger.
Traveling through the present, he was finally freed from the dangers that follow him, and he can live a peaceful life. He prefers to finish university safely and then join the Metropolitan Police Department.
He doesn't want to explore mountain villages with weird customs, nor does he want to drive a boat to hit a giant octopus.
So he politely said to Sister Xiaobudian, "We will consider it carefully."
"Huh? Just thinking about it?"
"Yeah, after all, we still don't know what the new weird talk is," Kazuma began to lie directly, "you have to read the book you borrowed from Senior Sister to determine if you are interested. The melon is not sweet, isn't it? ?"
Senior Little Sister pouted, looking like an awkward little girl.
It is said that even if girls don't deliberately learn how to make green tea, they will instinctively master how to use their appearance.
Such a small and cute girl is born to pretend to be pitiful - no, since it is born, it is not called pretending, it is people's instinct.
It's a bit embarrassing with Ma, and I always feel that this little sister won't let it go without giving a clear answer.
At this time, a tall and handsome young man pushed away the senior of the Judo club who had been standing beside Kazuma, and said to Kazuma: "I found you! Kiryu Kazuma!"
I don't care about anything with the horse directly, just spread my feet apart and take a pony stance.
What if it's a fight?
Looking at each other again, this long visual hair looks like they are playing in a band, and Kazuma immediately understood something.
"I'm from the University of Tokyo's Rock and Roll Research Association!" The head of the Department of Vision brushed his long hair in front of his forehead and exposed his covered eyes, "You must come to us to learn! The band we learned is super strong. Strong!"
He Ma Miao refused: "Sorry, I don't want to play music."
As soon as he finished speaking, an unfamiliar voice said: "Yes, of course he wants to join our Tokyo University Kendo Club!"
He Ma was going to follow the reputation to see what the speaker looked like, when another voice entered the game: "Fart, Kiryu-kun's ambition is to enter the Metropolitan Police Department, of course, to join our detective club! Mock investigations will be held every week, and there will also be discussions on unsolved cases disclosed by the Metropolitan Police Department that are still under investigation! Many of our seniors have joined the Metropolitan Police Department after graduation, and they are also very optimistic about their future careers. Helpful!"
Before Kazuma could see what the senior of the detective club who suddenly came out looked like, more voices joined the conversation.
"Kiryu-san! The Film Research Association needs you!"
"If you want to be a police officer, the Fighters Association is the first choice!"
"Please be sure to come to the shooting club and tell us about the experience of using the UZI submachine gun!"
"Your Excellency Kiryu, please be sure to come to our ninjutsu club kusaru (this is an ancient fetish)!"
It seems that just now when I was talking with Miyu Kanaka, the news that "that Kiryu and Ma were admitted to the University of Tokyo" had already spread, and all the fan clubs rushed to attract people.
He Ma looked around and found that he and Jingu Temple were surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside.
"Hey!" Kanzhong Miyu was squeezed out of Kazuma's vision, and she still raised her hands and shouted, "Don't rob my junior! He has already decided to go..."
"What, Gan Zhong, you are here."
"Gan Zhong, remember to stand on the box before the next speech, or we won't be able to see where you are at all!"
Gan Zhong Meiyu looks like she is used to being teased about her height, and continues to argue: "He has promised to consider our meeting first! You all wait a little bit later, and when he refuses to join our meeting, you can't grab it again. late!"
"Oops, Gan Zhong, your new and strange stories are hard to understand. Most of your works have not been translated, and the key English itself is a bit strange."
He Ma couldn't help but agree with the senior - although the scene is chaotic and Ma is not sure which senior said this.
In his last life, in order to pretend, he read the English version of "The Myth of Cthulhu", Lovecraft's English, and even he, a non-native English speaker, found it a little hard to say.
He Ma Ke, a senior business representative of a foreign trade company, relies on English for his meals—although he studied computer science at university.
Sister Gan Zhong Meiyu snorted in disapproval: "What do you know! The new strange talk will definitely stand on the earth."
At this time, Jinguji Temple whispered to Ma Er: "We still have to visit the school, so we have to go over there to gather."
So I cleared my throat with Ma and interrupted the quarrel between the seniors and sisters: "Well, thank you for your kindness, but today I have to visit the school..."
"I'll take you there! I'm also from the Law Department." A senior immediately said so.
Miyu Kanzhong immediately shouted, "I'm here first! Classmate Kiryu, let me show you! I've been in college for three years, and I haven't missed a single class. I can also introduce you to the characteristics of each professor. .
"You can ask me anything you don't understand, and I will kindly tell you!"
As soon as she finished speaking, some seniors wanted to object, but she was stunned by one sentence: "Do you miss classes less than me? Are you more familiar with professors than me?"
Then the opponents shut up.
He Ma looked down at Kanaka Miyu-senpai, a little surprised that she could make all the seniors shut up.
Senior sister raised her head and looked at Hema, patted her chest and said, "Look, I'm the most suitable person to show you around the school. If you follow me, you don't have to go with the team."
He Ma glanced at Gongji, and the latter shrugged.
It doesn't appear that she has any particular requirements for who will take her to the school.
So I said to Ma, "Then I'll ask you, Senior Sister."
"Okay!" Kan Zhong Meiyu turned around and chased away the other fellow members like flies, "Go away, go away! Don't get in the way!"
Other fellow club members got out of the way.
He Ma suddenly thought, shouldn't the other seniors and sisters, who seem to laugh at Middle School Sister Gan's size on the surface, actually dote on her a lot?
It's like everyone in Kiryu Dojo will bully Mikako, but in fact they all love Mikako.
Leaving the crowd, He Ma glanced at the seniors who were going to lead the freshmen of the law school on a tour, and found that the senior already knew him. The senior holding the sign of assembly winked at He Ma, it seemed that he did not intend to stop him. He Ma followed Sister Gan to visit the campus.
Gan Zhong Meiyu took the lead, she was in a good mood, and all her steps were a little excited, which made her more like a child.
"The road we are taking now is the famous product of Tokyo University. In autumn, the ginkgo leaves on both sides will all turn yellow and look beautiful, but ginkgo will have an indescribable taste in autumn, so Dongda's Old students will try their best to avoid this road in the fall." Senior Sister began to explain while walking.
"By the way, the number of vehicles on campus will be reduced a lot, but after all, the campus is not completely closed, so be careful with vehicles."
For the kind reminder from Senior Sister, Kazuma felt that he would lose if he complained.
Where is the kindergarten teacher taking the children to the street?
"In front is the Yasuda Lecture Hall! But it is generally not open now, and is mainly used as a warehouse for the Faculty of Law. I have been studying here for the third year, and I have only entered once. Also, several professors in the school told Yasuda. The lecture hall is very concerned, don't tell them what happened ten years ago."
He Ma nodded, pretending to be ignorant.
As a matter of fact, he probably guessed that these professors probably had their favorite students ten years ago.
Miyu Kanaka continued to lead Kazuma and Jinguji to visit the campus.
Jinguji Temple suddenly approached Kazuma and whispered in his ear, "Do you think this scene is like a young couple taking their children out for a walk?"
And Ma frowned slightly, and then realized that they were quite similar.
Miyu Kanaka didn't hear the two of them whispering at all, and continued to introduce the various buildings of Dongda University's Hongo Campus with great interest.
**
After more than an hour, Miyu Kanaka finally took Kazuma and Jingu Temple around Dongda University's Hong Kong campus.
Then Xiaobudian asked enthusiastically: "Do you still want to buy textbooks? I'll take you to the school's bookstore?"
He Ma was about to answer when Jinguji Temple said, "Ah, no need for this, we'll go to the used bookstore later."
"That's it." Senior Sister Xiaobudian showed an expression of "I understand", "It's good to use old books, in fact, quite a few people use old books, after all, there is not much money left after paying the tuition and building the house. are still in the majority. Have you rented your house yet?”
Kawama: "Uh... I'm from Tokyo."
As soon as Xiaobudian heard this, she was obviously discouraged: "Going to read... I thought we might be neighbors."
He Ma homeopathically asked, "Is the senior student renting a house?"
"Of course, my hometown is in Aomori."
"Aomori?" It's different from Ma's immediate impression of Xiaobudian-senpai. After all, Aomori gives the impression of a backward country - in fact, it is indeed a backward country.
So Kazuma's impression of this senior was a golden phoenix flying out of the valley, a noble girl from a poor family.
Unexpectedly, Miyu Kan continued: "My family raises horses in Aomori, and the 'Longtan Mouse' that won the horse racing championship last month was raised by my family."
And the image of a poor lady in Ma's mind was shattered and replaced with a landlord's daughter.
No, it's just that horse farmers are not necessarily rich, just like code farmers are also graded.
So He and Ma asked, "Sister, is it... quite rich?"
"Well...it's normal. People in Tokyo look down on us anyway. When I first came to Tokyo, Aomori had a heavy accent, and many people laughed at me."
At this time, Jinguji Temple said: "Hundreds of years ago, the Tokyo accent was laughed at in Kyoto, but now it has become the orthodox pronunciation, which is interesting and interesting."
Miyu Kanaka looked at Jinguji Temple suspiciously: "Are you from Kansai?"
"No, I'm a native of Tokyo," Jinguji replied.
"Huh?" Sister Xiaobudian looked suspicious.
Jinguji Temple asked the senior sister: "Where is the senior sister renting a house?"
"Of course I rented it over Kandagawa. Although my family could afford the rent in Bunkyo Ward, I liked the song and movie "Kandagawa" very much, so I rented it there."
Speaking of that, the senior hummed the lyrics of "Kanda River" twice.
Then He Ma realized that this senior may be a little tone deaf.
After singing, Senior Sister raised her hand and looked at her watch: "Well, if you are going to buy books, you should go to lunch now. Do you want me to recommend a store?"
He Ma asked: "Sister, won't you come with me? In order to thank the senior for leading the way, I plan to invite the senior for a meal."
Chiyoko put an extra 3,000 yen in Kazuma's wallet today, so Kazuma feels that his wings are hard now, so it's okay to invite senpai for a meal.
Gan Zhong Meiyu looked at Jingu Temple and smiled: "Forget it, don't disturb the two of you on a date. Remember to read the book I gave you when you go back! It's a masterpiece that you will never regret reading! Then , bye!"
After Kanaka Miyu-senpai finished speaking, she turned around and walked away with light steps.
He Ma: "He is a very energetic senior."
"Yeah~IndoMTL.com~ and it's cute." Jinguji Tamamo said, and gave Kazuma a meaningful glance, Kazuma pretended not to notice her eyes.
Jinguji Temple continued: "The New Strange Talk Research Association, I feel like it's a fellow club of similar nature to the Ministry of Spirituality."
"Do you want to go?" He Ma asked in surprise.
"I'll go back and read this book before I decide. Mountains of Madness... feels like a story about a mountain god?"
Kawama: "...Maybe."
He almost forgot that he had no experience with Lovecraft's work at all, but he finally remembered it.
"Let's go, let's find a place to eat first. Didn't Chiyoko ask you to confirm a cheap restaurant first, let's go look for it together." Jinguji temporarily put the matter of the new ghost talk research group behind, and said to Kazuma. said.
"Well, I happen to be hungry too." Kazuma nodded.
