I Teach Kendo in Tokyo Chapter 63: 2 generations

Member of Congress Yasukura Asakura, he is not at home at this time, and his wife is definitely not at home anyway.

He is sitting in the living room of the landlord of an apartment next to the Kanda River.

Tokyo is a magical place. The price of land is linked to "tradition". For example, there is a place in Tokyo called Asakusa, and there is a temple in that place called Sensoji Temple, which later became a very famous tourist destination.

According to the Chinese routine, the low prices around Sensoji Temple will rise with water, but not in Tokyo.

Before Sensoji Temple became famous, there were a lot of slums around with low land prices. After Sensoji became famous, there were still a lot of slums around and land prices were very low.

And along the Kanda River is a famous slum area, where a large number of low-cost apartments are distributed. Since the Taisho era, this is a popular place for college students who come to Tokyo to seek rent.

There are a large number of low-rent apartments on both sides of the Kanda River. For the college students living here, opening the window to see the Kanda River is a scene they are accustomed to in their daily life.

Right now, Senator Asakura Yasuhiko is looking at the Kanda River in the dark.

The owner of his apartment, also the landlady, is sitting in the corner of the room in a cheap kimono, playing shamisen.

At this moment, the apartment's landline rang, but the ringing stopped abruptly, and someone apparently picked up the phone immediately.

A moment later, someone knocks on the door of the room.

"Come in." Asakura Yasuhiko replied softly.

A bodyguard in a suit opened the sliding door and entered the room, and whispered a few words in Asakura Yasuhiko's ear.

"Understood." Senator Asakura nodded, then waved the bodyguard to leave.

After the bodyguard opened the door and left, the landlady, who was still playing the shamisen, said, "The call came here, is it the chief of staff in the small room?"

"Well, I've told him many times, don't call this way, I'll talk about it the next day. But it's useless."

Asakura-san continued to look at the Kanda River outside the window.

The landlady continued to play the shamisen without asking any further questions.

Time passed silently for a while, and then Senator Asakura suddenly said, "Remember those days when you shared a lease?"

"Almost forgot." The landlady responded softly, "Almost."

What they were talking about was just after the war ended, when Asakura Yasuhiko was admitted to the Faculty of Political Science of Keio University, which had resumed enrollment.

34 years ago.

At that time, Asakura Yasuhiko was 23 years old, and the time he should have been studying in college was spent at the oil station at the anchor island of the Navy column.

After the war, Yasukura Asakura returned to university, and after 34 years of struggle, became a famous congressman of the Young Zhuang faction.

The short-lived co-rental life on the banks of the Kanda River was just a small episode in the long 34 years.

In the history of the Asakura family, it is not worth mentioning at all.

However, to commemorate those days, just a few years ago, musicians whom Yasuhiko Asakura took care of composed a song "Kanda River", about the sweetness between a college student couple who rented together A special feeling of fear and hesitation about the future.

Under the operation of Asakura Yasuhiko, this song was on the top sales chart of the year, appeared on the red and white song battle (equivalent to the Spring Festival Gala in Japan), and was adapted into a movie the following year.

Ordinary people basically don't know the work of Senator Asakura on this matter, and no one even notices the relationship between the whole process of this song and Senator Asakura.

Asakura Yasuhiko moved his seat and sat directly on the window sill from the window, putting his hand on the iron railing outside the window sill.

The landlady watched his movements, stopped playing the shamisen, and asked, "It looks like you are in a good mood today? Is this the first time you have been sitting in this position since you suffered from rheumatism?"

"Is it the first time? Ah, maybe. Just wanted to sit like this all of a sudden."

"Have you found a young man who reminds you of your past?"

Asakura Yasuhiko didn't answer, just looked out the window, as if immersed in memories.

Seeing this, the landlady fiddled with the shamisen strings again.

This time, she played the melody of "Kanda River".

Asakura Yasuhiko beat the beat lightly with his hands.

At the end of the song, Yasukura Asakura said, "Sure enough, I am no longer young, and the days of the past will never go back. Now, I can only spend the rest of my life as a wily Senator Asakura. "

"There's nothing wrong with that," said the landlady.

"Yeah, there's nothing wrong with this." Asakura Yasuhiko sighed and changed the subject, "My youngest son has already betrayed me."

"Kang Chun? It's a shame, but he's never been a peace-of-mind kid, has he?"

"Yes, I hope he can play his role well to the last moment this time. At least it's not completely useless."

"Are you going to prepare the touchstone again? This time, Kang Chun will sing the role again?"

"I hope from the bottom of my heart that he doesn't push himself into that position every time." Asakura Yasuhiko looked quite regretful, "If Kang Chun was a girl, then everything would be much easier. Now, I don't have to worry so much anymore."

Asakura Yasuhiko pouted: "Forget it, let's not talk about that. Let's do "Kanda River" again."

"Of course, anytime." The landlady played the shamisen again, this time with lyrics.

You may have long since forgotten

Use the red handkerchief as a scarf

The two walked into the bathhouse on the street together

We agreed to come out together

Waiting outside but it's always me

……

The landlady sang softly, and Yasukura Asakura tapped lightly.

The melodious melody echoes the sound of the drizzle outside the window and the sound of trickling water.

Kiryu and Ma, didn't know that there was another chasm to be crossed in front of him~IndoMTL.com~ He slept peacefully, got up early in the morning, first touched the violin, played a section of where the stars were, and made sure of himself muscle memory is still there.

I finally learned this song with the BUFF from scratch. If I forget it, it will be a big loss?

After blowing out the location of the stars, Kazuma got dressed and went to the kitchen.

"Brother, did you play that song from last night early in the morning?" Chiyoko was busy in the kitchen as usual, and when Kazuma came in, she asked, "That song is really good, it was really composed by you, brother. ?"

"Yeah," He Ma boldly turned the tune into his own. Anyway, the person who actually created the tune may still be learning basic music theory. Using a time machine to plagiarize can be considered plagiarism. ?

"Why, you don't believe it?" Kazuma asked Chiyoko.

"I can't help but believe it, you wrote it all down after all. I just think it's so unreal, that old bastard, who has suddenly become a powerhouse with both civil and military skills, and can't help but make people wonder if you are being attacked. It's taken away."

Sister, you've seen the truth!

But Chiyoko's next sentence made Kazuma dumbfounded.

"If you are really taken away, I hope you will never change back, brother. I like the current brother more than the previous trash brother."

He Ma pouted, thinking that when he died in the future, when he saw the original owner of this body below, he must write a tragic character on his leg.

At this time, the doorbell rang, and Kazuma speculated that either the chairman was here, or Nanjo-san.

"I'll open the door." He Ma said, yawning as he came to the entrance, opened the door and went out.

The answer is that the chairman and Nanjo-san arrived at the same time.

He Ma sighed: It seems that today's dojo is also going to thunder and lightning since early in the morning.
