I teach kendo in Tokyo

Chapter 344 Going to the Distance (Part 1)

In the middle of the night, Kazuma was suddenly woken up by someone pushing him.

He opened his eyes and was stunned for a few seconds before he saw who woke him up.

"Chiyoko? Why is it thundering again?"

"No! Also, I'm afraid of thunder and come to see my brother. That's all in elementary school. I'm a freshman in high school!"

Kazuma patted his head to wake himself up quickly, then he looked at Chiyoko's pajamas and said, "No, we are brother and sister..."

"I'll hit you! Someone hit our window with a small stone!"

When He Ma heard this, he suddenly woke up completely.

"Have you gone out to see it?"

"How dare I? Brother, the people you have provoked recently are all those who know how to use guns, and I even held Amao down. How about we just call the police?"

Kazuma thought for a while: "No, if it is an enemy, they will not smash the window with pebbles. They will definitely come directly. I will go out and take a look."

As he spoke, he got out of bed and quickly put on his coat.

Chiyoko thrust the wooden sword into his hand.

"Is that enough? Why don't you draw the real sword?" She said worriedly.

"Are you crazy? If I go out with a shining real knife, if someone gets drunk and gets lost, how can I scare them to death?"

Kazuma waved his hand as he spoke, walked out of the room with his wooden sword, and headed straight for the entrance.

When I passed the toilet on the road, I just heard pebbles hitting the small skylight of the toilet.

The pebbles were so small that they couldn't even leave scratches on the glass, let alone smash the windows.

Chiyoko: "The man outside kept changing positions and smashing, and he didn't hit the upstairs at all. He obviously knew that the second floor was full of tenants. But he didn't know the distribution of the first floor."

Kazuma nodded: "I understand."

He opened the door directly, entered the dojo, and walked around the courtyard.

The yard has a good view and is not easy to be plotted.

When he opened the door to the yard, Kazuma was cautious, hiding on the side and pulling the tail of the sliding door open with his hand.

In this way, if there is an ambush outside, he will not be able to be spotted immediately.

After opening the door, he cautiously took a look.

There was a figure outside the wall. Judging from the ponytails on his head, Kazuma probably knew who it was.

The person on the other side said, "Wow, you are so cautious, you look so unworthy."

Kazuma then boldly walked out of the door. When he went out, he found that it was raining lightly.

People outside the wall were holding umbrellas and standing in the rain.

Kazuma: "How about you just ring the doorbell? What's the matter with throwing stones? It's like a primary school student who secretly comes to date a girl he has a crush on."

"I thought, if possible, I would not disturb your sister and apprentice. Did I succeed?"

"No." Kazuma shook his head, "Come in."

"Come out." The other party said.

Kazuma raised an eyebrow and glanced down at his pajama pants.

He always felt that this was not something that could be done just by going out. Just as he was thinking about whether to go back and change into a pair of pants, the other person said first: "Put on your coat and come with me for a walk."

Kazuma nodded and turned around to go inside.

Chiyoko was waiting behind him. When she saw him turning around, she quickly asked: "Is it Beichuan? It's raining so late. Do you want to go out for a walk? Is there something you can't come in to talk about?"

Kazuma glanced at his sister: "Is there any leftover food at home? Help me pack a lunchbox. And there is also barley tea, fill me up with a pot."

After the words fell, Amao turned around and prepared to go.

"Brother?" Chiyoko looked at Kazuma, "What are you doing?"

"Let's go and see something far away, probably." Kazuma shrugged.

Chiyoko's face was full of doubts.

After holding it in for a few seconds, she managed to say: "Elope?"

"You can just treat it like this for now."

While talking, Amao ran into the dojo with Kazuma's pants, lunch box, barley tea and umbrella.

This saves me and Ma having to go inside and change clothes.

Putting on his pants and taking the things from Amao's hand, Kazuma looked at Chiyoko, and then said to Amao, "I'll be right back."

"Master, please walk slowly." Amao bowed respectfully.

Carrying his things, Kazuma originally wanted to turn around and go out of the yard, but after thinking about it, he decided to go through the main entrance, which was more formal.

After a while, he went out, opened his umbrella and walked into the rain, walking towards Kitagawa Saori.

Kitagawa Saori took a step back and allowed himself to enter the light range of the street lamp.

Only then did Kazuma see clearly that she was wearing a sailor uniform with short sleeves and a short skirt, carrying a guitar on her back, and holding a schoolbag with unknown contents in her hand.

The sailor uniforms have obviously been modified by themselves, becoming closer to the "singing uniforms" of Japanese girl groups decades later.

"If you wear this to school, will the school let you in?" Kazuma teased.

"Yes, why not? They have already allowed a Yakuza daughter to go to school, just a sailor uniform."

"Isn't it because they allow you to go to school because the teachers union or something needs your family to protect you?"

"There is a reason for that." Kitagawa Saori said nonchalantly, "By the way, this is for you."

As she spoke, she took out the folded red scarf from the outside pocket of her schoolbag and gave it to Kazuma.

Kazuma: "Is this for me? At least tear off the plastic packaging and wrap it in cute colored paper before sending it."

"I bought it at a 24-hour convenience store. I can make do with it, so be content."

"Don't convenience stores provide packaging in the middle of the night?" Kazuma was stunned, "But it's been so hot in Tokyo recently, and you actually gave away scarves..."

"Because I happened to see it on sale."

"Don't say anything like what Chiyoko would say. You should be like Honami, with ten thousand yen bills in your wallet, right? Think about the clerk who is changing the money."

"Why are you talking so much nonsense? I'll give you something and just take it. It'll be dawn if you wait any longer. We still have a long way to go."

Kazuma shrugged and stuffed the unwrapped scarf into the lunch bag.

He was pretending, but he still wanted to joke: "Come on, I'll give you a cheap hairpin, and you give me a cheap scarf, we'll be even."

"Yeah, it's even, so whether you can come or not is entirely up to your own free will." Kitagawa Saori turned around and took steps forward.

Follow up with the horse.

But the scene where Kitagawa turned around just now reminded Kazuma of a rock song he liked very much in his previous life.

So he sang softly: "She understands, she understands, I can't afford it, so she turns around and walks towards the mountain."

Kitagawa Shaori asked in surprise: "Chinese?"

"I'm a Dongda student. Isn't it normal for me to understand Chinese?" Kazuma said prevaricating.

"Dongda is so awesome."

"It's very powerful."

Just like this, I chatted with Ma and Beichuan, and walked in the drizzle of the night.

Kazuma didn't ask where he was going and just followed the girl's footsteps.

**

Behind the trash can not far from Kazuma and Shiromine, Wakamiya Daisuke asked Hanabusa Takashi: "What should I do?"

"You still have to ask? Let's go! Follow them! By the way, go back to where you live and take out the motorcycle. If these two start taking the night bus, we will chase them on the motorcycle."

"Oh, okay." Daisuke Wakamiya nodded.

**

Kitagawa Shaxuri was not confused, as if she knew where to go early in the morning. The words above her head were shining: Go to a distant place.

After an unknown amount of time, she led Kazuma onto the railway track from an unattended railway crossing and continued to move along the railway track.

"When it comes to going to a distant place," Kazuma said, "As expected, my first reaction is to walk along the railway tracks. In fact, if I really want to go to a distant place, I should take a plane."

"If you put it that way, you should take a rocket ride," Kitagawa Saori retorted, "That's how you can go to the farthest place that humans can reach now."

Kazuma: "The universe, the last frontier of mankind."

"Do you have to recite the opening lines of Star Trek when you're romantically involved with a girl? Who knows this among girls?"

"Don't you understand?"

Kitagawa Saori turned to look at Kazuma and sighed: "You can't do this, you can't do it at all. If you don't know the style, what are the girls in the dojo doing?"

"Maybe they just don't understand the charm?"

Kitagawa Saori curled his lips and turned his gaze forward.

She walked with the cheerful pace of a primary school student on a spring outing, stepping on the sleepers accurately.

The passing railway signal light glowed red.

"The signal light is red, and there is a train in the section ahead." Kazuma pointed to the light and said.

"Don't worry, we will soon reach a forked road." Beichuan said, seeing a switch lever in front of him, "It's probably that lever! Let's go to the forked road."

As she said this, she ran and quickly reached the lever, then pointed to one side: "Look, there are really forks!"

"You haven't investigated it?"

"I've only seen the map. I can only rely on imagination to determine the actual situation." Kitagawa Saori jumped onto the branch road.

Kazuma accelerated slightly, and when he passed the switch lever, he found that the lever had grown grassy, ​​and probably no one had pulled it for a long time.

Looking again at the branched railway, grass has grown under the sleepers, and even fungus has appeared on some sleepers.

It seems that if you take this bifurcated road, you don't have to worry about being hit by a train that suddenly appears.

Kazuma continued to accelerate and caught up with Kitagawa Saori who had already walked away.

The girl was now walking on the rails as if on a tightrope, keeping her balance with her arms outstretched.

Because she opened her arms, the effect of the umbrella disappeared and the rain fell directly on her head.

Kazuma caught up and held the umbrella above her head.

"Oh, this move can be given full marks!" Judge Sasori Kitagawa praised, "The Kazuma player performed very well."

The Japanese horse player chose not to express his opinion because he was being soaked in the rain.

Kitagawa Saori continued: "The old man from the Earth House told me that when he was young, he also wanted to go to the ends of the earth along the railway tracks. Is it necessary for everyone who plays rock music to walk like this?"

"I don't know, but it's true that romance dramas often do things like this." He Ma paused, "What we are doing now is a standard youth romance drama scene."

"Is that so? Well, it seems that is indeed the case."

Saori Kitagawa laughed and continued his tightrope walk.

Kazuma: "So, did the old man from Earth House go to the ends of the earth in the end?"

"No. He finally discovered that Japan is an island country. No matter how far you go along the railway tracks, you can only go to the seaside."

Kazuma laughed heartily: "As expected, you should still take a plane. You can also take a boat."

"Here we go again, here we go again." Kitagawa Saori sighed, "Why did I choose a guy like you to go with us?"

"How do I know what you chose? I was woken up in the middle of the night and soaked in the rain, so I'm full of resentment."

"Then you can tell me what your grievances are."

Kazuma thought for a while: "First of all, I have the energy to wake up."

"Yeah, reasonable." Kitagawa Saori nodded, "What else?"

“Dissatisfaction with traveling companions who are only child-sized.”

"watch out!"

Saori turned around and launched an upper kick. He Ma took two steps back to dodge, and then used his umbrella to assume a defensive posture in the middle.

Both of them were standing on the railway track at this time. Saori Kitagawa stood on one foot, pulled back the kicked leg, and made a horse-like gesture.

Kazuma remembered that the heroine did this action in the movie "Tokyo Express" that he created.

He is very handsome...

Kazuma kindly reminded: "The heroine of Tokyo Limited Express wears a long skirt, but you wear a short skirt."

Kitagawa Saori shouted loudly, folded his umbrella and used it as a sword to attack Kazuma.

Kazuma also defended himself with an umbrella.

Because both of them were holding something in one hand and could only hold their swords with one hand, they invariably assumed the posture of a Western sword.

Kazuma felt for a moment that this was not a railroad track, but the mast of a pirate ship. What was happening now was Captain Jack Sparrow fighting Octopus Head.

After going back and forth for a few rounds, Sasuli slipped and stepped on a sleeper under the railroad track.

She sighed: "Stop making trouble, stop making trouble, just like a child."

"You are just a child, right?"

Unexpectedly, Kitagawa Saori did not refute, but once again stood on the railway track and played a tightrope walk.

When He Ma caught up, he happened to hear her say: "You people always treat me like a child, whether it's the old man in the Earth House or everyone in the meeting, even grandpa and dad, you let me do whatever I want. "

Kazuma glanced at the entry to the distant place above her head and found that the entry began to undergo some subtle changes.

So he said: "In my opinion, what you did was not nonsense. You played rock and roll because you are kind-hearted and don't want to be with the Yakuza..."

"I've killed a lot of people with Shinto Mu-Nen-ryu, although I haven't killed them. Do you want to say that I'm kind in nature?"

Kazuma smiled: "I have killed many people, but this does not prevent me from being a hero."

"I'm different from you. I kill people for the benefit of the group. After the killing, my grandfather will often take over the territory of the person who was killed, and my father will take over the serious business. I am an out-and-out bad guy. , everyone in the school is also afraid of me as if they are afraid of bad guys."

While Kazuma was thinking about how to respond, Kitagawa Saori changed the topic on his own:

"The reason why I learned kendo is said to be that when I was a child, I saw Shinsaku Sakata practicing sword swinging, so I ran over and practiced together with branches."

Kazuma could only follow the topic: "Sakata Shinsaku, is Bai Fengfeng's brother-in-law?"

"Yes, he was a fool. At that time, he was Bai Feng's only fighting force. In fact, he was super weak, so Bai Feng was not regarded as a martial arts sect.

"He was practicing kendo very seriously at that time and wanted to support the business of the group. I saw him working hard and started practicing along with him.

"Later on, the Shinto Muken-ryu master whom grandpa finally invited back to guide him pointed at me and said after watching Sakata and the others practice, 'This is a good seedling, I'll take it.'"

Kazuma: "Sakata is so miserable."

Kitagawa Saori laughed.

After laughing, she continued: "Later, Shinsaku Sakata no longer practiced swordsmanship, but went to the streets to fight with people every day. At that time, the Yakuza were annexing each other seriously. In order to protect our family's territory, Shinsaku Sakata gradually He actually made a name for himself, known as the Tiger of White Peak."

Kazuma: "This tiger is still the English tiger, is it so foreign? Doesn't the Yakuza pay attention to Japanese traditions?"

"Originally it was in Japanese, but then "The Story of Torajiro" became popular. Shinsaku felt that people usually called him 'Tora-san', which sounded similar to the nickname 'Tora-san' of the protagonist in "The Story of Torajiro", and he suddenly became majestic. Can’t get up.”

Kazuma laughed.

In the Japanese national comedy "The Story of Torajiro", Atsumi Kiyoshi's classic appearance of a humble civilian is indeed not majestic, but is very suitable for being defeated.

Saori Kitagawa also laughed, and continued while laughing: "So it was later changed to the English word Tiger. When he read it, it was always pronounced as Taiga. Both have accents, which is weird."

"Indeed." Kazuma agreed, "Mikako will probably go crazy when she hears this, and she feels that the dignity of Sophia University English Department students has been offended."

"Is that so? Does Miss Mikako have dignity?"

"Hello!"

"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm disrespectful. Sophia University is the one with dignity. Sophia University is sorry."

"That's too much! That's my childhood sweetheart after all. Can you show me some respect?"

"Okay," Kitagawa Saori paused, and the conversation suddenly turned back to Sakata Shinsaku, "Shinsaku-san has gradually gained fans, such as the one in the Tsuda group who is also named Sakata."

Kazuma heard the Tsuda-gumi frown slightly, and then remembered that there seemed to be such a person.

"Have you actually forgotten?" Kitagawa Shaxuri was astonished, "Obviously my little finger is still buried under your cherry tree."

"I have so many little fingers under the cherry blossom tree. How can I find the time to write them all down?"

Kitagawa Saori shrugged and continued to recall: "The person who had the deepest influence on Shinzu was Miss Yukiko. She was originally the female section chief in the school, but she was about to lose her virginity when she was ambushed. Shinzu happened to be passing by.

"Then Yukiko became Shinsaku's wife. On the day of their wedding, I remember it very clearly. Shinsaku's whole feeling changed. Everyone said privately that the current Shinsaku is exactly the same as Torajiro."

Kazuma couldn't help but think of Torajiro in a yakuza outfit, and then found that it was even funnier.

He laughed, and so did Kitagawa.

After that, Kitagawa Saori told many stories about the people in Baishan Summit. Kazuma listened quietly, and would add another sentence from time to time to keep the conversation going.

Not that Kazuma is bragging, but he feels that he is quite good at listening.

I was able to become a senior business representative in my previous life, and this skill also helped a lot. Sometimes customers encountered troubles and needed to be listened to. After listening to Ma Lao honestly, the business was done naturally.

Kitagawa Saori kept talking and became thirsty several times in the process, almost finishing Kazuma's barley tea.

The sky gradually gets brighter, and you can clearly see the scenery on both sides of the railway.

On the right, behind the thinning rain curtain, the outline of distant mountains is revealed.

On the left is a factory that has been abandoned for who knows how long. There is no farmland or human habitation.

Overhead are the telegraph lines along the tracks. Railways in the old days relied on these telegraph lines to control the segmental operation of trains and direct the switchmen on the road.

The wind blows, bringing with it the fragrance of moist earth.

Kitagawa Saori turned around and walked backwards on the railway track, facing Kazuma, her small leather shoes that had been soaked by the rain shining brightly.

"Are you bored listening to this?" she asked.

"It's okay." Kazuma responded truthfully, "It might even make people mistakenly think that you are talking about a group of good guys."

Saori Kitagawa smiled: "They are not nice at all! I first knew this because I was bullied by my classmates in school. No one wanted to get close to me, as if they were hiding from a plague god.

“However, the intimidation of the Yakuza is still there, so there are no thumbtacks in the shoes, and no graffiti on the desks…

"But, as a young kid, I still felt sad."

Kitagawa Saori smiled bitterly.

"But I have grown up."

As he finished speaking, wind blew from behind Kazuma, blowing the umbrella in Kitagawa Saori's hand into the sky.

"Ah, it's flying!" Kitagawa Shaori was very happy, as if he wanted to refuel the umbrella, "Fly! Fly to the clouds!"

"You don't act like you've grown up," Kazuma said.

Kitagawa withdrew his gaze and continued walking backwards, looking at Kazuma with a naughty and fearless smile on his face: "Really? But my period told me that I have indeed grown up."

"Hey! Don't suddenly become obscene!"

She chuckled.

Behind her, cracks appeared in the clouds, and a few rays of sunlight penetrated the clouds and fell.

Looking at such a girl, Kazuma's expression softened involuntarily.

He stared at the entry above her head, watching as the words "Go to the Distance" gradually turned into brilliance and disappeared.
