I Teach Kendo in Tokyo Chapter 60: The evening festival is not over, the good time called youth continues
Even though Danzi only took the third place, he didn't seem to care at all, and with a relaxed expression he joined with Hema and the others.
"Why do I feel like you've succeeded in your plan? Obviously you only took third place." Kazuma asked suspiciously.
The chairman spreads his hands: "Because I just succeeded in my plan."
"What plan?" Kazuma asked involuntarily.
Chairman: "There is a lot of trouble, and it will leave a deep impression on the last cultural festival in high school."
The Kiryu siblings looked at her suspiciously.
And Ma: "Really?"
The egg nodded: "Really."
Chiyoko changed the subject: "It's very laborious to play the drum, right? I can't see that Jinguji-senpai is quite muscular."
"No, I'm trying to be brave. Now my muscles are sore from being overdrawn. I don't think I can even lift my hands tomorrow." Muscle soreness.
She was so realistic that Kazuma couldn't help believing.
"The rest is the evening festival." Chiyoko said, "People outside the school can't participate in the evening festival. I'll go home and wait for you guys to come back."
Kawama grabbed Chiyoko's arm: "No, Nanjo has said hello to the principal. You can stay and participate in the after-night festival, which is safer."
"Oh. But what about Ah Mao? In theory, Ah Mao may also be targeted, right?"
"Yes, but Ah Mao is a boy, it's a man's duty to encounter evil and then fight." He Ma said, "If I say to Ah Mao, 'I'm worried about your safety, you stay with me. I'm in sight', what would he think?"
Chiyoko raised her eyebrows.
"Well...I don't understand, I'm a woman." Chiyoko said, "However, bro, I remembered when you said that. That night, when you went to demolish the Tsuda group by yourself, I was worried. It's going crazy. It's better not to have such a thing in the future, whether it's you or A Mao, it's forbidden for you to run off to do big things with the awareness that you can't come back."
Chairman: "It shouldn't be possible. You can either try to get used to waiting at home, or you can go into battle yourself and fight alongside him."
Chiyoko turned her head to look at the chairman, and was about to speak when Mikako's voice came from a distance: "Kama! Look, MISS Beigao, I got it!"
He Ma looked up and complained, "It was clearly obtained by the light sticking to Nantiao, so what are you doing?"
In the final vote, Nanjo and Mikako were counted as a group, so this time there was an unprecedented situation where the MISS North High was tied.
"Humph," Mikako ignored Kazuma's complaints, "My appearance and talent have finally been recognized by everyone! Kazuma, you have to cherish me a little more!"
"Okay, I will cherish it even more." He Ma said.
"It's not sincere." Mikako pouted, but then laughed again, "Forget it, I'm happy today, that's all."
The chairman suddenly said: "Mikako's second song "The Autumn Period" is really good."
"Look! Danzi understands!" Mikako immediately went over and put her arms around Danzi's shoulders, "Sure enough, they are good sisters. But it's a pity that Danzi is so handsome. These people don't know how to appreciate it. "
The chairman just smiled.
At this time, Nichinan Rica's voice came from the loudspeaker: "This is the president of the student council. Before the evening festival, everyone can move freely. The executive committee members of the evening festival are now gathering at the office of the student union. The evening festival will be held tonight on July 7. Click to start on time, above."
The chairman looked up at the loudspeaker and said, "I have regained my sense of heroism."
As she spoke, she looked at the eyes and the horse.
"It's very different from the second time she took the stage just now."
And the horse pretends to be looking at the scenery.
Chiyoko sold him directly: "That's right! I remembered it, and I'm going to sue! I originally hoped that my brother would enlighten the president and increase the income of the dojo, but he only picked up girls, If I don't do business, I'm looking forward to it in vain!"
The girls watch Kazuma together.
He Ma spreads out his hands: "I'm just going to share a little life experience with her."
Chairman: "What will you eat later?"
Chiyoko: "Wait a minute, why don't you just hold my brother accountable?"
"There's nothing to be held accountable either. Whether the dojo has new apprentices has nothing to do with our old apprentices. In theory, the operation of the dojo has nothing to do with us."
Chiyoko tilted her head: "Hey, it seems...that's it."
After all, whether the chairman or Nanjo, including Mikako, they are all just apprentices who came to the dojo to learn kendo, not "mistresses", which means that if you really want to be serious, only Chiyoko has the right Urging He Ma to find a new apprentice to subsidize the family.
"So what are you going to eat later?" The chairman repeated his question, looking at Nanjo and Mikako.
"Simply eat something to finish things up, and have a celebration dinner at a family restaurant in the evening, isn't it?" Nanjo said.
And Ma listened to the girls discussing what to eat later, thinking that this peaceful day-to-day feeling is not bad.
**
Evening, 18:30.
Students from North Gurney College have returned to campus one after another, gathering on the playground.
The executive staff of the student union is doing the final inspection before the bonfire is lit, and the disaster prevention staff of the district office is in charge of guiding.
For the boys at Kitagard's High School, inviting the girl they like to dance is the meaning of this after-night festival and even the entire cultural festival.
Because of this, there is a youthful vibe on the playground where the after-night festival is about to be held.
"I'm sorry." Nanjo Honami bowed to the boy who invited her, "I already have someone to dance with, so please be smart."
"Yes, that's right." The boy who came to invite looked at Kiryu and Ma behind Honami with complicated expressions, "I'm sorry for disturbing you."
With that, he turned and ran away.
Mikako said to Nanjo, who turned back, "The fifth one today?"
"Hmm. It's a bit surprising that there are so many."
"It should be the reason why you were elected to MISS North High this afternoon." Mikako Fujii said.
"If that's the reason, you should also be invited." Nanjo teased, "You are also Miss Bei Gao."
"I'm a green leaf."
He Ma: "You don't have to be so arrogant, at least I will invite you."
During the Beigao Cultural Festival two years ago, I danced with Mikako, who was invited by Madu. Kazuma is also very strange. I thought that before I crossed over to take the house, the original owner had an affair with Mikako. It was so strange that they were not dating. Normally, shouldn't they be fast forward to naming the child?
Fujii Mikako looked nostalgic: "I was the only one who danced with you in the folk dance last year. Obviously I was the first..."
At this time, the chairman of the committee who rejected several girls who invited him to dance with him also joined the dialogue: "Last year's Ma Jun and Ma are not worthy of being surrounded by stars like the moon."
"Well...you're right in saying that, think about it carefully, the previous relationship with Ma Jun never gave me the idea of 'ah, I want to fall in love with him', I only regard him as a good brother. Mikako looked up at the starry sky that gradually appeared, and recalled, "It feels like everything has changed since the sudden death of Kiryu's parents at the beginning of this year.
"After that, Kazuma looks like a different person."
He Ma thought to himself that it was a changed person.
At this time, someone suddenly heard cheers from a distance, so everyone stopped chatting and looked at the direction where the cheers came from.
Niannan Licai came out of the teaching building holding a torch.
It's almost like the Olympic torch relay.
Under everyone's attention, she made her way through the crowd on the playground and eventually came to the square of firewood.
She carefully lit the kindling at the bottom of the bonfire, then threw the torch on top of the fire, and then stepped back several steps to distance.
The bonfire burns violently in the autumn wind and quickly becomes quite spectacular.
After making sure that the bonfire was completely lit, Niinan Licai took a loudspeaker from the hands of the executive department members behind him and announced loudly: "North Ge's College Cultural Festival, the evening festival officially begins!"
The music of folk dance rang through the school's loudspeaker.
The boys and girls who had just finished pairing on the playground looked shyly at each other, then held hands.
He Ma also stretched out his hand, grabbed Nanjo with one hand, and pulled Mikako with the other, saying, "Let's go."
The chairman waved his hand: "Dance happily."
In this way, the cultural festival, which has become a legend, came to an end in an unexpected calm.
**
After the cultural festival, not only Kazuma's small group, but the entire senior year of high school devoted themselves to preparing for the exam.
I don't know if it's because of the fact that Kiryu and Ma, the crane tail, are going to be admitted to Dongda University. This year's graduates of North Ge's College have chosen to further their studies.
And the schools everyone chooses are of a certain grade, giving people a feeling of "Even Hema chose Dongda, I would be too embarrassed to choose the pheasant school".
The teachers of the school also echoed the students and opened a bunch of small stoves for different schools.
The atmosphere of the whole senior year made Kazuma feel like when he was preparing for the senior year.
Especially the piles of reference books piled higher and higher on the desks. This feeling is too familiar. Unfortunately, Japan does not have the "Five-year College Entrance Examination and Three-Year Simulation", so after all, it is still a little tasteless.
On the dojo side, the publicity effect of the last incident is decreasing at a rate visible to the naked eye.
On the first weekend after the cultural festival, there were only three people visiting the dojo on Saturday, and no one came at all on Sunday.
"What can I do?" Chiyoko complained loudly in front of Kazuma after sending off the girls on Sunday, "Not only have we not added new students, but even the apprentices can't make money this time. Here it is. There is still a big gap in the tuition fees for the first year of the University of Tokyo. This is not counting the money you will buy for new review materials, bro.”
Hearing Chiyoko's complaint, Amo stuck his head out of his guest room and asked, "How about I go to work a few more jobs? This way I can pay back my dad's funeral money faster... "
"No, no, you are fast enough now. I have already counted your repayment into the calculation, so you have no influence on your side." Chiyoko waved, "You can be careful not to fall ill. The money you get from getting sick will keep you busy for the first few months.”
"I will. I feel that practicing kendo has improved my physical quality a lot, and I feel like I can collapse even tighter." Ah Mao said, looking down at his hand, his fingers spread out and clenched tightly. Repeating this action over and over again seems to confirm his newfound strength.
He Ma looked at Ah Mao and asked, "Is it okay to study over there?"
"No problem, I feel that in a few months, I will be able to finish all the content of junior high school." Ah Mao blushed slightly, "I'm sorry, Master, you are so busy, and I want you to teach me the knowledge of junior high school. ."
"No, teaching you is also a review. The chairman agreed." He Ma said, "I'm ready to eat, come here."
"No, I still eat in my room..."
"If I ask you to come over, come over, what's the nonsense?" He Ma waved his hand impatiently.
Amo is still reluctant to go to the table with the Kiryu family, as if he feels like an outsider, so it's not good to go to the table like this.
But the master's order is absolute to the disciple, and he can only come here honestly.
Chiyoko continued to mutter while serving everyone a meal: "I hope to have a new apprentice next week. Now the dojo's income is less than 100,000 yen a month, so I can't save any money at all."
"So if I do more work..."
"Amo, shut up." Chiyoko said in the tone of her elder sister to her younger brother.
Amao shut up decisively.
He Ma appeased Chiyoko: "Aren't you going to be a martial arts instructor in Taiying's new film? There should be a lot of commissions. Maybe you can bring a few stars here to practice kendo."
"It's better to be like this. You said before that La Rinan-senpai came over, where's the person?"
Stop talking to the horse.
And just like that, another week of peaceful but poor days passed.
On the first weekend in October - Japan doesn't have a long holiday - on the first weekend in October, Kazuma and the girls were studying around the table in the dojo when the doorbell rang.
Chiyoko's voice sounded in the corridor outside the dojo: "Come here."
Then there is the sound of her clack-clack running to answer the door~IndoMTL.com~ She can also be heard running and saying, "Our family doesn't want to order a new newspaper or a credit card."
Mikako whispered, "There are probably more encyclopedias being sold recently. My mother has been persuaded by a salesman to buy two encyclopedias, saying that they will help our family stay at the forefront of the times."
"Ah, the encyclopedia seller is here too." Kazuma responded, in fact, when he mentioned the salesman who sold the encyclopedia, Kazuma couldn't help but think of the Japanese godfather he heard about in his previous life, Before he entered the SQ business, he was a salesman selling encyclopedias.
Later, based on his deeds, he adapted a Japanese drama called "Nude Supervision".
He Ma was thinking about it when he heard Chiyoko shouting from the entrance: "Brother, come here!"
Glancing at each other with Ma and the girls, putting down the half-finished test paper and standing up, he walked to the door in the direction of the corridor with a puzzled look, and probed down the corridor to the entrance.
Then he saw Niinan Licai standing at the entrance. As soon as he saw Kazuma, she bowed and said, "I'm here, senior. Or should I call you a master craftsman?"
