I Teach Kendo in Tokyo Chapter 7: There are no pigeons when you think you can do it. This is also a breed of pigeons
After the car started, the driver used a loudspeaker to say to the whole car: "Hello, all passengers, because the tour guide who is usually my partner didn't come this time, so I can only give you a brief introduction to the road. Next, we will Leaving Tokyo along the 'sightseeing route'..."
Kazuma: "Is there any difference between this sightseeing route out of Tokyo and the general route?"
"The difference is that the sightseeing route will take a long detour, and you can see Mount Fuji." The driver said simply and bluntly.
Next, he briefly introduced the scenery that he could see along the way, then put down the microphone and concentrated on driving.
Mikako stood up from Shizuo, lying on the top of Kazuma's back, and said, "Where is Mount Fuji, Kazuma, have you dreamed of crossing mountains, eagles and eggplants this New Year?"
He Ma turned to look at her: "Miss, it's July now, do you remember the dream you had six months ago?"
"If it's a very important dream, of course I'll remember it, probably." Mikako said while eating pears, "Oh, this pear is good."
From the back seat came the voice of Sister Gan, "Of course, these are pears obtained from the best pear farmers in the village."
"Isn't this your pear?" He Ma exclaimed.
"My family raises horses, but my father can eat well in the village and town, so it's normal to get something from another family."
He Ma frowned, not knowing why his image of Sister Gan's family had become a certain village tyrant who started out raising bamboo rats.
He looked down at the tomato, and felt that the appearance was okay. Dad Gan Zhong grabbed it. It would not be good if he didn't eat it.
The sweet and sour juice fills Kazuma's mouth at once, and honestly it tastes really good.
Mikako stretched out her hand and grabbed Kazuma's arm and neck, pulled the tomatoes in front of her with her hands, and took a bite of the tomatoes.
"Oh, not bad, come and try this pear with Ma."
Before Mikako finished speaking, she put the pear into Hema's mouth.
He Ma was forced to take a bite, and while he was chewing, Honami handed over a biscuit across the aisle: "Do you want to eat it? It's imported from Italy."
Hema is quite fond of Italian food, so he swallowed the pear and took a bite.
He deliberately bit forward a little more, so that his teeth met the smooth fingertips.
Honami pretended to be angry and patted him on the head.
Miss and Ma turned their heads to look at Tamamo, thinking that she would also feed themselves something, but found that she had already taken out the book and opened it.
"Aren't you getting motion sickness while reading in the car?" he couldn't help asking.
"No." Tamamo said lightly, "After all, I used to sit on horseback to read books, and that one shook even more."
Mikako: "The Jinguji family also keeps horses?"
"Yes, we used to make some Chinese pastries, such as horseshoe cakes, etc. In order to get fresh horseshoes, we would raise our own horses."
Mikako stared at Tamamo with a serious face: "You...you are definitely bluffing me!"
"She is," said He Ma.
Tamazao smiled.
Mikako was about to say something when she heard the sound of a guitar coming from the back of the car, and looked back.
He Ma also turned back, but the sight was blocked by a huge part, and he could only turn his head to the side to avoid the block to see the end of the carriage, Qingliu holding the guitar and fiddling with the strings.
She sang a light song.
Songs that are very suitable for children's spring outings.
I have never heard this song before, but it is obviously a popular folk song or children's song in Japan, and everyone in the car sings along with Qingliu.
Eating hot pot with Ma and his party like this - no, there is no hot pot, eating fruit and singing songs, galloping on the road leaving Tokyo.
Not long after the Kanagawa boundary, the driver announced through a loudspeaker: "You can see Mount Fuji!"
Actually, at this time, everyone has already seen Mount Fuji, which is regarded as the symbol of Japan.
He Ma first established his impression of Mount Fuji in an imported Japanese movie that he saw when he was a child, in which the villain yelled at his subordinates: "If you fail again, go to the crater of Mount Fuji and jump!"
So for a long time, Kazuma's impression of Mount Fuji was "the place where the villain failed to deal with his subordinates", and the mountain pass was full of the villain's corpse.
Afterwards, I watched more Japanese movies and Japanese dramas with Ma, which turned this impression around.
To be honest, as a scenery, Mount Fuji is still very beautiful, but Kazuma is not Japanese, and there is no cultural bonus at all, so I think it is a "not bad scenery".
He Ma has been to Tibet once in his life, and has seen Mount Everest from a distance, that has a humanistic bonus to him.
Different from Kazuma, Mikako, as a Japanese, obviously sees that Mount Fuji has a humanistic bonus. She sighed: "It's awesome, I feel that my mind has suddenly become wider."
He Ma glanced at her and poked his finger: "Have you always been very broad-minded."
"It's not this wide! It's inside, inside!"
"What, your chest is too dilated? Is that a disease?"
"Kazuma, you're always so puzzled about your style, it's serious." Mikako said.
At this time, Qingliu changed the song: "隠しきれない雲り香が (the scent that can't be hidden)..."
He Ma Yuanyuan complained to her: "Qingliu, this is Mount Fuji, not Mount Tiancheng! Why are you singing "Crossing Mount Tiancheng"?"
"It's all mountains! Shall I sing you a theme song about the sinking of Japan?"
"Why, what's the connection?"
"In the sinking of Japan, didn't Mount Fuji erupt."
He Ma was stunned, he didn't expect to be able to connect like this.
The bus between talking and laughing gradually moved away from Mount Fuji and traveled in the countryside.
At this time, they have left the Tokyo metropolitan area, and the surrounding scenery has become "countryside" visibly.
He Ma vaguely remembers that in his last life, he came to Japan after 2010, and the countryside around Tokyo seems to be almost the same.
The tour guide he hired said at the time: In Japan outside the city, time seemed to stop.
I can deeply feel the division between urban and rural areas in Japan.
At this time, Tamamo, who had been reading, suddenly raised her head and looked out the window.
And Ma also looked curiously in the same direction, but didn't see anything.
"What's wrong?" He Ma asked.
Considering Tamamo's identity, Kazuma wondered if she felt something just now.
Tamazao: "It's nothing, just give your eyes a rest."
Mikako: "Scare me, I thought you suddenly saw some kind of ghost on the road, Head of the Supernatural Department."
"Former supernatural minister," Tamamo corrected, "now he's the vice president of the New Strange Talk Research Association."
He Ma raised his eyebrows: "I've been in the hospital for a few days and you've been promoted? Could it be that Sister Gan has already been put on hold?"
"It's too much, I wouldn't do that kind of thing." Yuzao glanced at He Ma complainingly, "It's because Sister Gan middle school is not doing anything, so I take responsibility."
He Ma and Mikako said in unison: "It's still an overhead!"
Honami looked across the aisle and bit her lip, looking like she wanted to join the conversation, but the aisle blocked her.
At this time, Kan Zhongmei came up from behind with a corn: "What are you talking about? Are you discussing new weird stories?"
Tamazao: "Yes, we are discussing new strange stories. The hot spring town we are going to this time seems to be a place with many folklore legends. Sister Gan Zhongzhong should make good use of materials and strive for this year's new strange stories. Publish your own in the journal of the research society."
Gan Zhong Meiyu frowned: "Um... New Weird Talk Research Association, do you have to write new Weird Talks yourself? Can't you just read them?"
"But Ms. Gan Middle School didn't write much after reading it." Yuzao said.
"This... there is no requirement to write after reading, right?"
"The student union is considering taking back the activity room of the New Strange Talk Research Association. Many newly established fan clubs are still waiting to use the activity room. If the current president of the New Strange Talk Research Society has not published a single article, it is a matter of course. I was questioned whether I was carrying out club activities properly." Tamamo took out the truth.
Gan Zhong Meiyu frowned and sighed: "Okay, I'll try my best this time. Really, I will be threatened with taking back the activity room. It's obviously the reason why our OBs are not doing enough..."
OB, short for oldboy, generally refers to school graduates. The Japanese side attaches great importance to alumni relationships, especially universities. After graduation, alumni relationships are a very important interpersonal bond in the workplace.
And graduates would theoretically often go back to school to see their juniors, reinforcing the connection.
Many of the graduates of the New Strange Talk Research Association don't seem to go back to school much after graduation.
At this time, the car suddenly swayed a lot, and Sister Gan was almost knocked over, but fortunately she temporarily grabbed Hema's shoulders.
She pulled away the armrests of the Kazuma seat, unfolded it into a small chair, and sat down.
This time the chair made no sound.
He Ma and Mikako thought about something at the same time and looked at Honami together.
Honami looked at the scenery outside the window, as if she didn't notice what was happening around her, but her reddish ears betrayed her.
Mikako: "Ah, after I get to the hot spring town, I'll take a sauna first, so I can lose weight."
He Ma: "I'll also steam one, so I can lose weight."
Ganzhong Meiyu looked at Hema and then at Mikako, with an inexplicable look on her face: "Why did you suddenly start talking about weight loss, who is fat?"
Shrugs with the horse.
Tamazao seemed to deliberately divert the topic, and suddenly said: "Ah, there is a shrine."
He Ma turned his head and looked out the window. Sure enough, he saw a hidden mountain road leading to the depths of the forest. Several torii gates were erected on the road. With the seal of the Ministry of Education.
"Abandoned shrine?"
"Yeah, that's what happens when the last generation of gods dies, or the lineage of gods moves out of the shrine and lives in a more modern metropolitan area."
"So..."
"There are quite a few cases where religious corporations have declined. It's modernized," Tamamo said.
Miyu Kanzhong asked very strangely: "Why does Jinguji feel like an old woman when you talk about this topic? When I was just admitted to university, my whole family sent me to Tokyo, my grandmother was like this, look She has to sigh at everything. When she saw the old wooden apartment building over the Kanda River, her old man also said: This is not good, B29 will be there as soon as it comes, and I have to rent a reinforced concrete apartment.”
He Ma thought to himself, so you rented an apartment managed by Senator Asakura's old lover, that apartment is indeed quite unique among those old low-rent apartments near Kanda River, and it is a rare quasi-high-end apartment .
Mikako said with a smile: "Sister Gan, this time you can tell your grandma when you get home, Americans don't need B29 anymore! Now they use B52! And their weapons are no longer the ones that caught fire during World War II. Wood, replaced with napalm, the same reinforced concrete!"
Gan Zhongmeiyu: "Why did I tell my grandma this! I'm not crazy! Why do you understand this?"
"Ah? I learn from Hema and Ah Mao talking about the international situation every morning! I also know that the T72 is a low-end version of the T64."
Laughed with Ma: "See what you can do. Then tell me what's the difference between the T64 and T72 autoloaders?"
"I don't understand!" Mikako exclaimed.
Actually, Kazuma didn't understand either, but he liked to play a game called "War Thunder" in his previous life and drove Soviet cars all day long, so he understood.
Miyu Kanaka muttered: "Why are boys so familiar with weapons? That guy Toda is also talking about famous swords all day long."
"Probably because men have been in charge of war for thousands of years, the reliance on weapons is etched into their DNA," Hema said.
At this time, Tamamo suddenly said: "Ah, fox."
Ma and Ma's first reaction was to look at Tamamo before turning out of the car window.
Then he saw a row of headless Jizo in the woods by the roadside, but the last sculpture was not a Jizo, but an abstract fox.
Kazuma: "Are there many such things in the Japanese countryside?"
"It's quite a lot," Tamamo replied. "After all, this used to be an archipelago full of ghosts and ghosts. The power of the people of Middle-earth is too prosperous, and the weirdos can only go far away."
Mikako: "What are you talking about? Middle-earth? Human power?"
"I'm telling the story of Xu Fu's eastward crossing."
"Huh?"
Tamazao smiled slightly, not caring.
He Ma thought to herself that Tamamo, as a part of the "weird", probably has the greatest sadness for her that speaking out about weird things like this will only be regarded as a joke.
This is probably the power of modernization.
The light of science replaces the grace of God, shining on the once-spooky archipelago.
Tamazao turned her head and continued to look out the window in a trance. The book in her hand hadn't been turned for a long time, and the bookmarks made of crushed and dried red leaves almost slipped out of the pages and fell onto her lap.
He and Ma stared at Yuzao's profile, also a little lost.
Mikako finished eating the pears, took out the playing cards, and patted Hema on the shoulder: "Hema, let's play the trick cards!"
"What's wrong with this narrow carriage?"
"It's over if you turn to the side! Honami, let's play together!"
Honami looks like she wants to: "Okay! Come and play!"
Seeing Honami's excited look, Kazuma could only agree to join the game. To be honest, it's a little uncomfortable to be sideways, but it's better to exercise the bending ability of the waist.
Mikako shuffled the cards casually, and then dealt the cards directly to everyone.
On the chairs in the last row of the carriage, Qing Liu was still playing a light happy song.
The car continues on its way to its destination.
**
After passing Mt. Fuji, the car finally arrived at its destination after driving for about two hours.
The hotel rented by Sonny Music looks like the oil house in Spirited Away, but instead of the long bridge in front of the oil house, there is a parking lot.
There are already two minibuses parked in the parking lot, and Hema suspects that it is the car of other staff of Sonny Music.
"Everyone, this car has reached the end of the journey. Please take your luggage and get off the bus." The driver said through a loudspeaker.
He Ma: "Uncle, you said you wanted to replace the tour guide, but you didn't speak at all along the way."
"Didn't I see that you guys were having a good time chatting, what B52 and what T72, you didn't say anything." The uncle turned his head and smiled at He Ma, then suddenly remembered, "Oh, right, autograph! This, this, this ...I'll see what to use to sign it, oh my, the company didn't say you want to take the car when it dispatched the job, I wasn't prepared!"
Jinguji Tamamo took out a notebook: "If you don't have a horse, write it on it, and then the driver will take it back and tell your child that it was a notebook from Mr. Kiryu."
"Is this ok?" Uncle driver was overjoyed.
He Ma: "Of course."
Speaking, he took the pen that Tamamo gave him, and wrote the words "Study hard every day by Kiryu and Ma" on the title page of the notebook.
Uncle the driver took it over with gratitude, and raised his brows when he saw "Study hard every day": "What does this... mean?"
"Learning" in Japanese is written as "reluctantly", and Kama is written in Chinese.
He Ma: "Chinese proverb, study hard and strive for the best."
"Oh, it's actually in Chinese, worthy of being a student of Dongda University, and knowledgeable!"
He Ma stood up with a smile, took his bag from the luggage rack and got out of the car.
As soon as I got out of the car, there was a fresh breeze on my face, and there was also a faint floral fragrance, which made people feel relaxed and happy.
He and the horse look out in the direction the wind blows.
This hotel is halfway up the mountain, the entire hot spring street is built at the foot of the mountain, and the parking lot of the hotel is unobstructed.
In the distance and the mountain where the inn is located, across the foot of the mountain across the hot spring town, you can see the torii gates and shrine flags of the shrine, and the stone steps leading to the shrine are hidden in the green forest.
Kazuma has heard that in this kind of Japanese countryside, as long as there are people living together, there must be a shrine.
Compared to the backcountry in the Japanese horror-themed works I've seen in my previous life, this hot spring town is obviously very modern due to tourism development, and there are modern convenience stores within sight. There are also public phone booths and many cars parked everywhere.
Festival flags can be seen everywhere inside and outside the hot spring town, creating a strong festive atmosphere.
So Kazuma asked Tamamo next to him: "A festival is going to be held near here?"
Tamazao: "You ask me? This is my first time here."
Hema: "You are not very familiar with sacrifices, tributes, etc. After all, the daughter of the Jinguji family."
"Most of the festivals in the hot spring town are organized by the local tourism bureau to attract tourists, and they have nothing to do with the ones I am familiar with." Tamamo said firmly.
He Ma pointed to the torii gate at the foot of the mountain in the distance: "But there is a shrine there. Do you want to say that the shrine was also built by the Tourism Bureau for tourism?"
"It's not impossible," Tamamo shrugged, "There are quite a few situations like this. Religious corporations also have to survive. Now is not an era when you can live by just the money in the cash box. You Looking at Tokyo, many shrines that did not have the function of blessing in love have begun to sell love amulets, and shrines dedicated to the **** of marriage are now selling amulets for promotion and wealth.”
Good, realistic topic.
Jingu Temple Tamamo added: "Even in our family, our wagashi was originally only for the Chinese, but now we have to open a store to sell it publicly. Survival is not easy, Tamamo sighed."
——What the **** is that cute guy at the end?
While speaking, Marquis Oiwakawa led two social animals in suits and a woman in a gorgeous kimono and ran out of the hotel at a brisk pace to meet Kazuma and his party.
The woman in the kimono should be the "female general" of the hotel depending on her age.
Of course you can call the boss lady, but the formal title is female general.
This is similar to the fact that the owner of a sushi restaurant is called "General".
"Mr. Kiryu, I'm sorry, you guys came too early than expected." Oikawa Marquis stopped in front of Kazuma, because he was running too fast and he was a little fat, so he was out of breath.
The proprietress of the hotel is like a normal person, not even short of breath.
He Ma glanced at the top of her head and found that she was at the seventeenth level of Gugami Ryu Nana's swordsmanship. No wonder she was not breathing.
The proprietress is also looking at Hema, but she doesn't pay any attention to the girls behind Hema.
"This is Ms. Pudao, the female general of the hotel Hina Grange." Houyi Oikawa introduced, "She is here to bring the teachers and apprentices to check in."
Ms. Kashima bowed to Kazuma: "Mr. Kiryu, I have heard the name for a long time, please come here."
Kauma also bowed to her. Before she could speak, Mikako asked, "Is the hot spring available now? Is it a mixed bath?"
"There are mixed baths, as well as separate men's and women's baths, you can choose freely. However, the hot springs are still being cleaned and will not open until 3 pm."
Ms. Kashima introduced.
Dayanchuan Houyi added: "There are separate springs on the mountain. They are made of small pools made of stones. You can find them when you walk up the mountain. However, the water in these springs is relatively hot, and the hot springs in the hotel are quiet. After setting, it will be a little cooler."
He Ma glanced at the mountain behind the hotel, and thought to himself, why is there an element of exploration? Does it increase the stamina recovery speed after soaking in the hot spring?
Ms. Kashima smiled and said, "Mr. Akutagawa Ryunosuke really likes the hot springs on the mountain here. His favorite pool is now called Dragon Pool. Mr. Kiryu is also a person with the name of a dragon. One can get inspiration."
He nodded with the horse, and then he reacted - the entry of the lonely dragon should only be known to him, why the female general said "the name of the dragon"...
Then he asked, "I bear the name of a dragon?"
“Isn’t kiryo (Kiryu)?” Ms. Kashima smiled.
He Ma just remembered that his surname is pronounced the same as "Huilong"~IndoMTL.com~ especially ryo, which is the pronunciation of dragon.
In this way, I really think I am someone who holds the name of the dragon.
During the conversation, Mikako got impatient, she simply took her luggage and strode to the hotel, shouting as she walked, "I'm going to explore the mountain! The hot springs on the mountain are not always cleaned, right?"
"That's not true." Ms. Kashima smiled, and then said to Kazuma, "What an impatient lady."
Qing Liu: "She is a monkey, so the monkey is anxious."
Ms. Kashima smiled: "Although that lady is impatient, she still looks very dignified, so she's not a monkey... Please come with me..."
As soon as Ms. Kamashima turned around, she saw Mikako carrying her luggage and jumping back and forth between the hotel wall and the big tree at the hotel entrance, and onto the roof.
Her smile froze.
The wind blows.
