I teach kendo in Tokyo

After the morning interlude, the rest of the day seemed plain and boring.

After the last class in the afternoon, Kazuma stood up while packing up his textbooks.

Jinguji Tamamo reached out and took the book he was about to put into his bag and put it into his own bag.

"You should go investigate. It's better to travel lightly. Also, this is water, and this is a snack made by our family. We have to pay tribute to the aloof princess to persuade her to help."

Jinguji Tamamo said with a slight smile: "Our family is professional in tributes."

Kazuma glanced at the things that were stuffed directly into his schoolbag, then looked at Miyadera, and said with a smile, "Why don't you just follow me."

"No, I want to continue reading at the New Kaidan Research Association today." Jinguji Tamamo said very firmly, "I like to complete my plan step by step, and today's schedule is very tight."

Kazuma: "Actually, you just like Lovecraft's works, right?"

Jinguji Tamamo smiled slightly, put the last book on the table into his schoolbag and stood up: "Then, let's go separate ways. By the way, do you have your monthly pass with you? Or are you planning to borrow my car?"

Kazuma: "Your car... Is the one that comes today the one that looks high-end and luxurious, or..."

"It's a van. Isn't this more suitable for investigation?"

"Then I'd better take the bus. Anyway, I have a monthly pass and I can take it as much as I want this month."

Jinguji nodded: "Okay, then I'm leaving."

It seemed that she was in a hurry to read a book.

She also specially held the English version of Lovecraft's works that she wanted to return.

Kazuma watched Jinguji leave. At this time, a handsome guy from the same classroom came over and put a hand on Kazuma's shoulder in a familiar manner: "What, is there something going on in your love life? I know very well, high school sweethearts go to college Rupture is normal. After all, the environment has changed, and everyone's horizons have suddenly expanded, and we can find better things..."

Kazuma: "Who are you?"

The handsome guy in the pool was stunned: "Eh? You... don't know who I am?"

"Why do I have to know?"

"It's too much. Although the university doesn't pay much attention to classes, at least most of the classes in the first semester are taken together. In the future, the required courses in each semester will also be taken together. When writing the graduation thesis, we have to form discussion groups and interact with each other. Isn’t understanding basic?

"You see everyone knows you Kazuma Kiryu."

Kazuma looked at the handsome guy in Ikemen and first made sure if he had an entry. It turned out that even in a school like Tokyo University where all the elites from Japan gathered, entries were rare.

After confirming that there was no entry, Kazuma looked at this handsome guy with a bit more disgust: You don't have an entry and you are not a beautiful girl. What's the use of you? Are you dressed in women's clothing?

So Kazuma said: "Everyone knows me because I am the hero of Osaka, the slayer of the bomb demon, the parkour master, the gravedigger of the Tsuda-gumi, the nemesis of the Korean Yakuza, the Khaleesi of the Prairie, Kiryu and horse."

Kazuma seems to be reciting a string of words, but as long as the momentum is strong enough, no one will notice that there is something strange mixed in the name of the dish.

Kazuma looked at the handsome guy and said, "What about you, do you have any achievements worth remembering?"

The handsome guy looked embarrassed, but he still showed off his strength and said, "I am Susumu Fujita, the pick-up artist."

When He Ma heard that the other party was an expert in picking up girls, he was overjoyed: "Oh, he is actually an expert in picking up girls. How disrespectful."

The man on the other side pretended not to understand Kazuma's strange annoyance and said: "It's okay, we've gotten to know each other now. By the way, since you don't have a companion today, why don't you come and join our party! I made an appointment at Musashino Art University The girls..."

"Sorry, I have an appointment today." Kazuma interrupted.

"But didn't your man abandon you and leave?"

"Because it's not her I'm dating." Kazuma smiled.

Susumu Fujita's expression froze.

In fact, Kazuma did not make an appointment with Saori Kitagawa, but was about to set out to make an appointment, but Susumu Fujita didn't know this.

Fujita forced a smile: "Awesome, Kiryu-san, you are worthy of being a man who can be on the weekly magazine."

"What the hell, aren't you also a man who can cooperate with Akira Kurosawa?"

He Ma said.

The star of Akira Kurosawa's famous work "Zai Sanshiro" is Susumu Fujita.

Kazuma didn't know how to write Fujita's name at this time, because the characteristic of Japanese Chinese characters is that there are many homophones. If he only knows the pronunciation, he can write a lot of unrelated Chinese character combinations.

But it is precisely because of this characteristic of the Japanese language that there are so many homophonic memes in Japanese.

If you want to use homophonic jokes in Chinese, you have to think about it. In Japanese, you don’t have to think about it at all because there are too many.

So Kazuma was talking about the same pronunciation at this time.

Unexpectedly, this hit Susumu Fujita's pain point: "Don't mention it, my father is a fan of Fujita-san, so he gave me such a name. When I was bullied in junior high school, the nickname they gave me was Kato Osa. .”

The most famous role of "Fujita-san" in Fujita's mouth was in 1944, when Japan was at the end of the war. In order to boost the morale of the people, he played the protagonist Kato Takeo in the movie "Kato Hayabusa Combat Team".

This movie was remade after the war and was called "Ah!" "Army Air Force", and "Ah!" which later became a hit in China. Navy" is the same series.

By the way, Susumu Fujita also participated in "Ultraman Seven" after the war, playing the role of the commander of the Earth Defense Force.

Kazuma didn't expect that he would actually dig out this handsome boy's dark history of being bullied in junior high school, so he happily rubbed salt into his wounds: "You are still bullied? It seems that you are the one who will become The flirtatious handsome guy at the center of the class.”

"This is the result of 'high school debut'." Fujita waved his hand.

Kazuma was shocked: Is making a high school debut really useful?

He looked at the top of Susumu Fujita's head again. There was indeed no entry. Judging from his age, he didn't seem to be able to master Suzuki Butler's unique skill of writing entries for himself at any time.

It seems that not everyone who has dealt with bullying will have an entry.

Thinking about it carefully, Chiyoko has also been bullied, and there is no entry.

Kazuma lost interest in Fujita Susumu, waved his hand and said: "Come on Fujita-san, try to cooperate with Kurosawa Akira as soon as possible."

After saying that, he walked out of the classroom.

**

Kazuma originally planned to use his monthly ticket to take a bus to the area where Kitagawa Saori sang, but then he thought it was still early before dark, and it wouldn't take much time to walk there.

So Kazuma left Akamon and strolled slowly along the street.

When passing a game center, Kazuma suddenly saw two people wearing the uniforms of Kitagashi High School.

Until graduation in March this year, Kazuma wore this uniform, so it was natural to focus on the two of them.

Then he actually recognized the two people.

It's Higashide Jun who ran for student council president with Hinami Rina before, and the girl Shimado Marina who has always been by his side.

"What, I have finally achieved enlightenment." Kazuma said to himself, but he suddenly remembered one thing: Kitagashi High School is not close to Bunkyo District. School has just finished in the afternoon at most. How did these two get here?

Kazuma dug into his pockets and took out his student ID card and monthly pass. He glanced at it and realized: It's been a year, and Kazuma still subconsciously pulls out his cell phone when he wants to confirm the time.

There was no mobile phone, no watch, and no girl around who could grab his wrist to read the watch, so Kazuma could only look for the clock everywhere.

Later, he thought about it and said, forget it, if those two really skipped school and went shopping, just ask them yourself.

Kazuma is confident that as a "senior", he is still very oppressive to the juniors of Beigao, and they should not dare to lie to Kazuma.

Kazuma swaggered into the game room.

In this era, game arcades are the ultimate fashion trend. This one opened in Bunkyo District is aimed at college students, a group that pursues electronic trends.

But for Kazuma, current arcade games are a bit too childish.

The most popular game now is "Space Invaders". The SFC version of this game and Ma played it on the Xiaobawang learning machine when he was a child. At that time, everyone called it "Little Bee".

Kazuma, who almost played Cyberpunk 2077 before time travel, felt completely unmoved when he saw the simple picture of "Little Bee", and even wanted to laugh a little.

But for people in this era, this thing is like magic and cannot be stopped at all.

Japanese arcades use 100 yen coins to insert coins directly. Unlike when I went to the arcade to play 97 when I was a child, I had to spend money to buy coins first.

When arcade games were at their peak, there was even a shortage of 100 yen coins in Japan, and many supermarkets didn't even have enough coins to make change.

Of course, in addition to the upstart "Little Bee", Pachinko is another big spender in the arcade. However, Pachinko has to change the money into steel balls first, and then use the steel balls to play, which is one more step than Little Bee.

I don't know if it's because of this, but there are many times more people playing "Little Bee" in the arcade than playing Pachinko.

But those who played Pachinko were obviously old gamblers. Everyone just bought a basket of steel balls and placed them at their feet, and hit them one by one.

In addition, the people who played "Little Bee" were all college students, while the age distribution of the people who played Pachinko was much wider, and Kazuma even saw a few Yakuza.

Kazuma wanted to try to see if the Yakuza recognized him, and to test his popularity among the Yakuza.

But in the end, he suppressed the urge to be naughty and went to find his two juniors.

Soon, Kazuma found Higashide Jun sitting in front of the machine playing the game in the innermost part of the "Little Bee" area.

Shimado Marina sat next to him and watched him play the game. From time to time, she glanced at Higashiide Jun's side face with a worried expression.

It seemed that there was something wrong with the boy's mind.

So Kazuma stepped forward.

Shimado Marina saw Kazuma first, and the girl immediately showed an expression as if she had seen a savior, and it looked like tears were about to burst out of her eyes.

Kazuma mouthed to the girl: "Leave it to me."

Then he came behind Dong Dejun and patted him hard on the shoulder.

Higashi Dejun said impatiently: "I don't have a lot of money, so I can't buy a few steel balls!"

It looked like he had been robbed in this store.

Kazuma said: "Guess who I am?"

Higashiide Jun was excited, and then stood up suddenly. He didn't care about the game anymore, turned around and looked at Kazuma: "Senior?"

"Do you still know that I am your senior? Come and sit for a while at the coffee shop next door. You should have something to tell me, right?"

No matter if he has something to say or not, if the senior says he has something to say, that means he has something to say.

Dong Deshun hesitated for a second and nodded: "Okay, I understand."

Kazuma patted him on the shoulder: "Then why are you still standing there? Let's go."

After saying that, he turned around and headed towards the entrance of the game hall.

Higashide hurriedly took the schoolbag from Shimado Marina and followed Kazuma's footsteps.

Shimado Marina followed closely behind him.

Kazuma took two steps and saw Kitagawa Saori, who was also wearing a sailor uniform and carrying a guitar and a bamboo knife.

"Eh? Aren't you going to play? I saw you walking in, and I wanted to laugh at you for playing badly." Kitagawa Saori said.

Kazuma: "If I spend my money on this, my sister will kill me if she finds out."

"Ah, yes, that's it. I don't understand the worries of poor people. I want to have a good time. I'm here... What are you doing?"

Kazuma took Kitagawa Saori's hand: "You come too!"

"Let go, I'll hit you!"

"If you can beat it, try it."

Kazuma heard a startling sound.

"If I could draw my sword, I would definitely cut it down!" Kitagawa Saori said, "But there are too many people here, and it would be bad to hurt others."

"Yes, just come."

In fact, Kazuma just didn't want to let this guy go, so as not to have to find her after solving the junior's problem.

In this way, Kazuma dragged Kitagawa Saori and led the two juniors out of the game hall to the nearby cafe.

As soon as he sat down, Kazuma said to the clerk who took the order: "Four glasses of the cheapest soda."

"Wait a minute! You don't save money like this, right?" Shaxuli Beichuan shouted, "Forget it, I'll treat you to four cups of Blue Mountain coffee. And give this lady a piece of mousse cake. Well, I want it. Let’s have a sundae.”

Kazuma looked at Kitagawa Saori seriously: "I'm not boasting, I took out all the money in my wallet and couldn't afford what you ordered."

"Just say I'm treating you." Kitagawa Saori waved to the waiter, and then looked at Higashide Jun and Shimado Marina, who were sitting side by side on the other side of the table.

"Are you students from Beijing High School? Which high school are you in?"

"Third year of high school." Seeing that Higashide Jun didn't want to answer, Shimado Marina whispered.

"That's it, that's senior. So what's going on? Is it because of lack of money for an abortion?" Kitagawa Sasuri said in a surprising way.

Although Kazuma also thought it might be a problem in this area, he would not ask so directly.

Kazuma glanced at Saori, who spread his hands and said, "I play music. I've seen this kind of thing a lot."

"I think you should first apologize to the people who play music all over the world." Kazuma said, "Even among the people who play music, there are noble people who don't mess around with men and women and don't have sex!"

"Are you talking about Chopin and Beethoven?" Kitagawa Sasori asked.

"I'm talking about me!"

Kiryu Kazuma is also a musician in his setting.

"What?" Kitagawa Saori was shocked, "You don't have one?"

When Kazuma was about to refute, Kitagawa Saori added: "If you think about it carefully, neither did I. Then let me first apologize to the musicians I have never met."

Kazuma felt that he would lose if he complained, so he turned his attention to the two people who were confused by the sudden interaction between Kazuma and Kitagawa Saori.

"Higashide, let me tell you what the problem is. My impression is that you are not someone who skips class and goes out to the game arcade."

Higashi Dejun's expression turned gloomy.

"I, at the beginning of this semester..." He looked up at Kazuma, then immediately looked down at the table. Just as he was about to continue, the waiter brought the coffee and snacks, so Higashikata fell silent again.

After the waiter left, he continued: "At the beginning of this semester, I heard the new class teacher talk about what happened to your class last year, and it was like following the example of my seniors and launching a 'see you at the Budokan next year' event."

Kazuma nodded: "Then?"

"However, my initiative was ridiculed. Several guys who had conflicts with me before took the lead in saying that there was something wrong with me."

Saori Kitagawa: "Then the bullying started. It's so boring. Will there still be such drama in the senior year of high school?"

Shimado Marina suddenly said loudly: "No, it's not bullying! I mean, it's not because of bullying that Higashide-san is so depressed. After all... he has been bullied and it has never stopped."

Kazuma: "You are someone who can run for student union president, and you will also be bullied?"

Kazuma remembered that Chiyoko said that the best way to deal with bullying is to be social and use social power to fight against it.

People who are highly social are less likely to be targets of bullying.

In Kazuma's view, Higashide Jun is a person with good social skills.

Higashi Dejun said: "I don't know if it was considered bullying before, but there are indeed more than half of the classmates in the class who don't deal with me. So just being laughed at by them doesn't matter to me at all."

Kazuma: "Then when you say this, you mean other things are related to this, right?"

"I..." Higashi Dejun became melancholy, "I... I'm not very clear. I always feel that these unfortunate things happen together. I'm sorry, I didn't organize my thoughts. After seeing my senior, I suddenly thought Tell everything..."

"Fortunes never come together, and misfortunes never come alone." Kazuma said, "Go on, tell me all your recent bad luck."

Higashi Dejun: "I... Let's talk about the most serious one. My mother suddenly ran away from home. My father called the police, but the police said there was nothing they could do because my mother left a note before running away. I took away daily necessities.”

Kazuma thought to himself, why do I seem to have seen this plot before? Isn't this the pre-plot that Amao turned into a delinquent back then?

Higashide continued: "Actually, I was aware that my mother was having an affair. Recently, she obviously started wearing makeup again. She was like a young fashionable girl every day, and she also bought new cosmetics and skirts. I also thought, You should remind your mother that your father has been working very hard for the family, so that she will not let him down.

"However, before I could implement my plan, my mother ran away from home. The note she left behind said, 'I'm sorry, I became someone else's girlfriend.'"

At this moment with Ma, he thought of the famous breakup song "I became someone else's girlfriend".

He resisted the urge to hum.

Higashide Jun continued: "After my mother left, my father became depressed, didn't work overtime, and got drunk all day long. Then one night, he seemed to go to listen to an underground band. The next day I was in his room I saw a lot of posters of that band here.”

Kazuma frowned.

Higashide Jun: "That band is called URB. Since then, things have been going wrong for my dad. He talks all day about how the God of Music will save everyone, and he doesn't go to class at all. The company called to ask if he still Will yell at the company fiercely.

"He bought a lot of peripherals of that band, and then went to see the URB band's live performances every day. I secretly hid my bankbook and seal to prevent him from spending money, but he beat me hard and forced me to Take out the passbook and seal."

In Japan, a seal is a very important item. You need a seal for everything you sign for, and you also need a seal when you go to the bank to withdraw money.

There were no ATM machines in this era, so you had to go to the counter to withdraw money.

Kazuma: "Then you started to give up on yourself?"

Higashi Dejun sighed: "Yes. However, there have been some changes recently. Dad started playing the URB band's songs at home, and from then on, I always had nightmares at night..."

"Nightmare?" Kazuma asked, "What kind?"

"It's...a nightmare like the God of Music..." Higashiide Jun said.
