I teach kendo in Tokyo

There was still half an hour before the beauty pageant started, and the playground was already crowded.

Originally, a high school cultural festival would not have so many people, but this year, Kitagashi High School had a famous person before the cultural festival, and many people came to watch.

On the first day, Class B's third-year martial arts performance was so good. The battle between Kazuma and the girl who called herself Kitagawa Saori has become a modern ninjutsu duel through word of mouth.

After all, Kazuma and the girl both performed a combo of running up the wall and doing a backflip, so there was nothing they could do about it being called a ninjutsu by someone who wanted to do something bad.

As a result, on the second day of the cultural festival, more people came than on the first day, so many classes that opened snack bars did not prepare enough materials and had to send people to purchase materials quickly.

It is said that President Nichinan even made some changes and dispatched the school's truck used to stock the cafeteria in the name of the student union to transport a wave of ingredients back for emergency response.

Kazuma also heard that there was a guy in the next class who made a small fortune selling popsicles.

That guy’s dream is said to be like Torajiro in the story of Torajiro, traveling all over Japan by setting up stalls and doing small business along the way, and then publishing a travel journal.

His thousand-mile journey may have taken the first step thanks to the popularity brought by Kazuma.

In short, the superposition of so many factors made the playground of North Gurashi University crowded with people at this time.

Kazuma mingled in the crowd and listened to the chatter.

"What the hell is that curtain? Are you doing a river drama?"

"I don't know. It is said that the senior lady brought servants and set up a special place to change her clothes."

"Miss, why would such a young lady come to our shabby public house?"

"Haven't you heard? He transferred here after that Kiryu-senpai."

"Senior Kiryu? Wait a minute, does the young lady that Weekly Fang Chun talks about actually exist? I thought she was a fabrication!"

…

When Kazuma heard someone talking like this, he couldn't help but glance at the curtain put up by Nanjo's house.

At this time, the emcee had already stepped onto the stage.

"Good afternoon, classmates, I've been waiting for a long time! Are you disappointed to see me as the vice president coming out? Let me tell you good news! President Nichinan wants to participate in this beauty pageant in person! That's why I changed I'm the host!

"Cheer! You can see the unparalleled magnificence of President Nichinan!"

The students below were in a state of agitation. Although they had already heard through one channel or another that Rina Hinami would participate in this year's beauty pageant, when they actually heard the confirmed news, they couldn't help but cheer.

Through the cheers, Kazuma realized Rina Hinami's terrible popularity among boys.

Through the memory of the original owner, Kazuma knew that Rina Hinami was a very eye-catching beauty when she first entered school. When she was a freshman in high school, countless people expected her to participate in the beauty pageant of Kitagashi High School.

Kazuma finds it strange that the chairman of the committee has an appearance and temperament that is not inferior to that of Hinami Rina, but why is he not as popular.

As for Mikako, she is a beauty, but her temperament is too much like a good brother, the kind of good brother whose friendship with you is like a glass of wine and an old song.

According to Kazuma's understanding, men would not regard this kind of girl as a love partner. They would wait many years later, when the relationship between husband and wife was discordant, before he remembered the tomboy who was like a good brother, and couldn't help but wish he had been with her back then. , should be happier now.

Now, it's not Mikako's golden age yet, and boys still don't understand the value of the girl next door.

In short, Hinami Rina, who had been the dream girl of most of the boys at Kitagashi High School for two years, was finally going to be on the stage of the beauty pageant, and the boys' reaction was quite normal.

As a newly transferred beauty, Nanjo is definitely not as popular as Hinami Rina.

The two boys who had just discussed the curtain of Nanjo's house had obviously not seen the charm of Nanjo Honami.

The vice president told a few more jokes on the podium to stir up the atmosphere, but the effect was actually very average.

In Kazuma's opinion, this vice president is the kind of person who thinks he is very humorous and tells jokes all day long.

In my previous life, I had seen this kind of people around the wine table with horses many times. They regarded jokes and pornographic jokes as humor, and had no idea how vulgar their behavior was.

Kazuma couldn't quite explain what his true sense of humor was. He only knew that he occasionally had some whims and could amuse a whole table of people by telling them.

Sometimes it can even resolve the cold-scene effect caused by some embarrassing jokes and jokes thrown by others.

This vice president has no sense of humor.

Kazuma commented like this, and a thought suddenly occurred to him: The vice president probably can't catch Hinami Rina.

At the same time as Kazuma made his comment, the vice-president also finished the joke and then started to get down to the topic: "The time has come, and everyone is probably tired of listening to my boring words, so we will skip the opening remarks and invite all MISS Beijing High School Candidates come on stage!”

After speaking, he made a gesture toward the changing tent set up by the student union to invite him to come on stage.

The girl who had been waiting at the door of the tent immediately raised the curtain, and then Rina Hinami walked out of the tent at the lead.

Kazuma squinted his eyes, following Rina Hinami onto the stage with the same gaze as everyone else.

These denim hot pants and a top with the hem raised and tied up to reveal the belly are the 80s fashion style that Kazuma is familiar with.

The fashion styles and horses of this era are quite acceptable. In a few years, broad-shouldered tops and smoky eyes will become popular.

That broad-shouldered top feels like a Saiyan battle uniform, the kind Vegeta wears.

In "Shaolin Soccer", Stephen Chow also spoofed this popular dress in the 1980s. It seems that He Ma is not the only one who has some criticisms of this kind of popularity.

Kazuma originally thought that Hinami Rina would highlight her pectoralis major muscles, but she did not expect that she would choose to show off her long legs and thin waist. In comparison, the girls who followed her and came out behind her fell behind. take.

However, there are no Nanjo Honami and Fujii Mikako in this wave of people.

Chairman Jinguji Tamamo followed at the back of the team, but the impact of the kimono was so strong that it drew most of everyone's eyes away from Hinami Rina.

Kazuma heard someone say: "Kimonos with white background and ink pattern are rare."

"That's Jinguji-senpai. Our family owns a super long-established wagashi shop. It's said that Tokugawa Ieyasu moved to Edo back then. His favorite snacks were the snacks from their family, and he even got tattoos from his own family. I gave a third of the sunflower leaves to the Jinguji family."

Kazuma raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but look towards the person who was whispering, only to find that it was the two people who had just discussed the curtain of Nanjo's house again.

Why do these two people talk so much?

Kazuma thought about it and realized that he had seen the coat of arms of Jinguji's shop, which was printed on the snack box that Jinguji brought over, but there was no one-third Aoi pattern.

The Japanese family crest system is quite complicated. It often happens that the lord or a noble person regards part of the family crest as a reward. Sometimes, by simply analyzing the family crest, you can know the past glory of the family.

If there was such a thing as Tokugawa Ieyasu's reward of one-third of the three-leaf sunflower, the sunflower pattern would definitely be placed in the most conspicuous position to show the family's prominence.

It seems that this is just an ordinary middle school student's nonsense.

Kazuma continued to look at the stage. At this time, the vice-president had noticed that there were fewer people: "Hey, why are there two missing? Could it be that President Nichinan was so shocked by the news that he personally participated in the beauty pageant that he withdrew?"

Before he finished speaking, Hinami Rina grabbed the microphone and said, "Don't say such things, it's very rude. Nanjo-senpai must have been delayed by something. But for the sake of the fairness of the competition, we can't wait too long. Jiu, let’s shout out Nanjo-senpai’s name together!”

Kazuma was impressed by Hinami's skill. He turned an unexpected incident into a planned Easter egg, and it also heated up the atmosphere.

"Nanjo-senpai!" Hinami Rina took the lead in shouting with the microphone, "If you don't come out, I will take away the championship! Come on, everyone shout together."

The boys shouted happily along with them.

At this time, the curtain of Nanjo's house opened, and Nanjo Honami walked out elegantly. She was also dressed in a youthful and dynamic style. Shorts, a casual shirt tied at just the right place, and a toad mirror hanging from the collar, she was basically targeted at Hinami's outfit has been "equipped" accordingly.

Kazuma immediately understood that Nanjo changed the clothes on the spot based on the clothes Hinami wore.

There were bodyguards from the Nanjo family on site, all with headsets on their ears. They should have used the radio to tell Hinami's dressing style inside the curtain.

Hinami Rina looked at Nanjo Honami and smiled: "Senior, isn't it?"

"I think going all out is a sign of respect for your opponent." Nanjo replied with a smile.

At this time, Mikako emerged from the curtain.

She changed her usual image of a good brother and looked like a young lady in a long dress.

It's amazing, Mikako also has the look of a young lady. It's really the clothes that make you a person.

However, she acted in the same way as usual, pushing Nanjo as soon as she came out: "Okay, okay, let's wait until we get to the stage to talk about the confrontation. There are still some links later that can let you and Hinami compete."

Seeing such actions, Kazuma was sure that it was Mikako, and that he had not been brainwashed by the strange technology of the Nanjo family.

Nanjo and Mikako came on stage, and Hinami returned the microphone to the vice president.

"Oh, today's beauty pageant is so full of excitement! Classmates, I'm on fire! Now, let's ask each contestant to introduce themselves according to their number!"

The self-introduction part is, to be honest, surprisingly ordinary.

Hinami Rina just introduced her grade class in a very formal manner, and she was working as a reader model, but that was all.

Kazuma originally thought she would do something exciting, such as announcing to all the boys in the audience: "I know you all used the photos of me published in magazines to cast spells, so you have to give me a vote for this, right?"

Or declare "I have no interest in ordinary people. If there are aliens, future people and superpowers, please come to me."

Kazuma speculated that Nanjo was originally going to take care of himself during the self-introduction session, but seeing that Hinami was not ready, he introduced himself in a polite manner and finished.

On the other hand, the chairman of the committee openly declared during his self-introduction, "My stunts were gained by playing the tuba. I have a loud voice and am very energetic."

Then comes the talent show, which takes up the most time in the entire beauty pageant.

It's obviously a beauty pageant, and in the end everyone must be voting for the girl who can arouse their desires the most, but they still have to show off their talents.

Just like the self-introduction, Hinami Rina, as the number one contestant, took the stage first.

"I will simply sing a song." She said, "I will sing "Blue Coral Reef" by Matsu Seiko."

As soon as Kazuma heard about Matsu Seiko, he thought of his own sword.

Not long ago, he replaced the Matsu Seiko poster behind the knife holder with a movie poster of a sailor suit and a machine gun that he got from Taiying.

Kazuma has been listening to Blue Coral all his life because of Shunji Iwai's movie "Love Letter". When the male protagonist in the movie was dying, he sang this song to express his nostalgia for a love that had never been fulfilled.

Nichinan Rina's voice is actually pretty good, a bit like Matsu Seiko's, but compared to the singing voice shown by Kitagawa Saori yesterday, it's a bit too far behind.

However, this comparison is a bit unfair to Nichinan Ricai. Kitagawa Saori has the innate term of the sound of nature.

Things like talent just don't make sense sometimes.

After Hinami Rina sang, the crowd on the playground became excited. Kazuma observed carefully and found that in addition to cheering for Hinami Rina, some people were looking forward to how Nanjo would "take the challenge."

Kazuma is actually looking forward to it.

"Brother, do you want some biscuits?" Chiyoko ran to Kazuma at some point, holding a bag of wafers in her hand.

Kazuma took out a wafer and asked at the same time: "Aren't you joining in the fun inside the curtain?"

"Brother, I saw that you were feeling lonely alone in a crowd, so I came out to accompany you. Are you touched?"

"I'm touched. Damn it, Amao is working part-time today? He doesn't know why he's here to accompany Master."

"He has a very full schedule at work, and then he has to study so late at night and practice kendo. I'm really worried about when he will collapse from exhaustion."

Kazuma thought no, he was a knight of the law, this article was so clear, how could he get tired so easily.

Damn, I really want this kind of entry.

"Ah, it's an egg." Chiyoko, who just said she was worried about Amao, now turned her attention completely to the stage, "Hey, why are there so many people holding musical instruments?"

Kazuma hurriedly looked towards the stage, and then he was happy. Dandanzi had brought the entire music section to the stage. Using the wind section as your own talent show is really yours, Jinguji.

Jinguji Tamamo held the microphone: "I originally planned to play the tuba for my talent show, but it didn't match my image. Playing the tuba in this kimono felt super weird. So I'm calling you A piece of taiko drumming.”

Chiyoko spit out all the biscuits in her mouth: "What is she going to perform?"

Kazuma wiped away the cookie crumbs that his sister sprayed on his face and replied: "If I heard correctly, it might be Taiko."

"Ta-taiko?" Chiyoko's eyes widened.

Just as Kazuma was about to reply, he saw a few guys wearing traditional Japanese "coolie clothes" carrying a drum on the stage.

Everyone has the Jinguji family crest on their clothes, just like the Hatamoto samurai.

The drum also had the family crest on it, and it was just as Kazuma remembered, with no one-third of the clover.

Jinguji mali rolled up the sleeves of the kimono and tied them with ropes - Japanese women have a special technique of tying the sleeves of their kimonos in order to keep them out of the way when they wear kimonos.

The fact that such a skilled person like Jinguji tied up the water sleeves shows that she often works at home.

Nanjo said that she didn't know how to tie herself.

After tying the sleeves, Jinguji Tamamo took the drum stick from the servant, then suddenly remembered something, put the drum stick under his arm, and took the microphone again: "By the way, let me introduce, these two are my wagashi A regular customer of the house, I heard that I was going to perform a taiko drum performance today, so I came here specifically to add to the fun.

"Shamisen player Koyama-san, shakuhachi player Inoue Meimei."

The two men, who looked to be in their forties, bowed slightly as Jinguji introduced them.

He Ma couldn't help but hold his forehead.

He felt that after listening to this performance, everyone present would get a BUFF...

Jinguji on the stage wanted to hand the microphone to the members of the student union, but suddenly his eyes fell on the person he forgot to introduce, and he quickly added: "Ah, by the way, there is also the Noh theater performer Mr. Kusakabe, who is responsible for the opening scene. voice."

The Noh performer looked very proud and waved to the young people below.

Kazuma was speechless.

Japanese confectionery house, is it so exaggerated?
