I teach kendo in Tokyo

A few days after Kazuma returned home from the hospital, Kiryu Dojo welcomed the morning as usual.

This morning Hema was woken up by the heat.

The Kiryu family does not have the luxury of air conditioning, so in summer they can only rely on perseverance to fight against the scorching heat.

Fortunately, summer in Japan comes late and goes quickly. After all, the latitude is there.

Kazuma got up, took off his sweat-soaked pajamas, put on his usual home clothes, and left the bedroom.

In fact, he wanted to go shirtless, but now there were too many girls who were not relatives living in the Kiryu Dojo, so he had to endure it.

He came to the restaurant, opened the refrigerator, took out the barley tea and drank it mouth to mouth, finally cooling down his body.

Chiyoko patted him on the back: "How many times have I told you not to drink into your mouth! At least don't let your lips touch the spout! How can others drink like you do?"

"Oh, there isn't much wheat tea left in this pot. It will be gone as soon as Amao comes back from delivering the newspaper." He Ma waved his hand.

Chiyoko looked at the barley tea left in the pot and agreed with Kazuma's statement.

She reached out and touched another full pot of wheat tea in the refrigerator: "Well, the one that was just put in is not very cold yet. Just put it in the freezer. Maybe it will cool down faster."

As she said that, she took out the pot of wheat tea and moved it to the freezer area under the refrigerator.

Kazuma put the wheat tea he had just drank into the cold snow area, and then reluctantly closed the refrigerator door - in a home without air conditioning, the air conditioning of the refrigerator is so kind.

This sigh got him excited, and he changed the words of "In Spring" and hummed it: "...back to a home without 24-hour air conditioning..."

Just then, Haruyu entered the restaurant while rubbing her sleepy eyes. When she heard Kazuma humming, she subconsciously sang in harmony based on instinct.

As soon as Kazuma saw the harmony coming, he changed the Chinese words into Japanese words and continued humming.

Chiyoko: "Tsk, I feel like if this continues, our family will become like the one in The Sound of Music."

Qingliu's brain probably hasn't started functioning yet, but when she heard "The Sound of Music", she seamlessly switched to singing the famous songs in "The Sound of Music".

Kazuma: "The Sound of Music you asked for is here."

"Can you please be considerate of me for starting to arrange breakfast in the dojo as soon as I get up? I just want some quietness in my ears right now."

Kazuma: "Seiryu, hurry up, change to the sound of silence."

"I can't sing in English." Seiruru refused Kazuma's request, then opened the refrigerator freezer, took out the barley tea Kazuma had just drunk, and started blowing to his lips.

Kazuma licked his lips.

Qingliu drank the rest of the barley tea, and then let out the kind of "Pfft~ha~" exclamation that often appears in beverage commercials on TV to highlight how delicious the drink is.

Kazuma: "That pot, I just drank it mouth to mouth."

Qingliu put the pot on the table and shouted directly, as if she didn't understand what he said: "Xiaoqian, I'm hungry."

"Yes, yes, I understand." Chiyoko said as she put the fried fish, miso soup and rice on the table.

Qingliu: "Is there no bread?"

Chiyoko inserted two pieces of bread into the toaster and pressed the switch: "It'll be ready soon!"

In 1981, the toaster was a new gadget. It was regarded as a symbol of modern life in Japan and almost every family would have one.

The process of baking bread in this toaster is actually very different from real baking. It is generally used with pre-made semi-finished bread slices. Real pastry chefs will never admit that this kind of bread is bread.

According to Kazuma, who was deeply influenced by industrial culture in his previous life, traditional Western-style bread baking is a handicraft industry, bakeries are handicraft workshops, and toasters are the crystallization of modern food industrialization.

With a "ding" sound, Kazuma's cheat reward arrived - no, the toast was baked.

Two slices of toasted bread popped up from the bread machine, and the fragrance of the bread slices pre-sealed by the modern food industry immediately filled the room.

Qingliu came over and picked up a piece of bread, which was so hot that she kept blowing on it.

After finally getting it done, she shouted again: "Xiaoqian, peanut butter..."

Chiyoko placed the peanut butter bottle and the peanut butter knife in front of Haru.

Qingliu then picked up the table knife, shoveled a small amount of peanut butter, touched it on the slice of bread, then stood there and ate it.

As she chewed, she turned to look at Kazuma.

Then she looked at the empty kettle on the table.

Qingliu's cheeks suddenly stopped chewing and froze.

"...You guy! I told you that you drank from mouth to mouth!"

"Your latency is too high!"

Before finishing her sentence, Seiryu wiped her mouth with her sleeve, but was caught by Chiyoko.

"Don't wipe your mouth with your pajamas, I told you, right?" Chiyoko said with a smile.

"Oh." The arrogance that Qingliu had just surged suddenly disappeared, but he still didn't forget to glare at Kazuma.

Kazuma silently decided to drink to each other tomorrow.

At this time, the porch door rang, and Amao's voice came: "I'm back."

"Welcome home," Kazuma responded casually, "Is there anything interesting in the news?"

Amao appeared in the restaurant with today's newspaper and put it on the dining table: "The Soviet army has begun large-scale mobilization. The situation is very tense now. NATO troops have entered a state of combat readiness. Master, is there going to be a war?"

"It should be a drill." Kazuma said calmly.

Kazuma is a time traveler and knows that this is the beginning of the Western 81 exercise.

Now countries don’t know that this is an exercise. Suddenly they see the Soviet Union deploying troops on such a large scale. The tanks and armored vehicles transported on the railway line can plow the entire plains of Western Europe. Everyone thinks that after practicing in Afghanistan, the Soviet Union decided to try it on others. His own steel flooded.

Kazuma took the newspaper and saw the sensational headline in the largest font size at first glance: "Nuclear war is approaching?!"

To be honest, it was quite interesting to witness Western countries being scared to shit, so Ma Xiaoyou and I read it with interest.

When Amao saw his master starting to read the newspaper, he stopped disturbing him. He took a cup and put it on the dining table, then opened the refrigerator and freezer. When he found that there was no barley tea, he immediately closed the refrigerator, opened the freezer, and took out the tea that Chiyoko had just placed in it. Pour a cup of wheat tea.

At this time, Seiryu was spreading peanut butter on the second piece of bread. While spreading it, she stretched her head to read the newspaper in Kazuma's hand.

"Will there be a nuclear war?" she asked.

"No. It's just a drill."

"You're not from the Soviet Union, how did you know it was an exercise?"

"Use logic to judge. Although the Soviet Union seems to be very strong now, it will not be able to do so soon. First of all, it is entering the electronic age. If the Soviet Union is not good at electronics, it will soon fall behind. Secondly, the Soviet Union's foreign exchange depends entirely on selling oil. I If the United States joins forces with OPEC to increase production and suppress oil prices, it will hit the Soviet Union hard in one fell swoop.”

Anyway, it was a private occasion with only acquaintances, so Kazuma didn't hide anything and spoke very casually.

Qingliu: "Are all Dongda students so good?"

"Yes, all Dongda students are so good." Kazuma said.

"Not really." Jinguji Tamamo entered the restaurant while dismantling Kazuma's table, "I am also a student at Tokyo University, and I am the student with the best grades at Tokyo University, but I don't understand this."

Qingliu: "Hey, that's right, so are these all made up by Ma Hu?"

Kazuma: "Yeah, I'm talking nonsense."

Tamamo: "He's not talking nonsense."

Kazuma curled his lips and looked at Tamamo, using his eyes to express his dissatisfaction at being continually brought down.

Tamamo: "He has a unique vision. If my family hadn't focused on making confectionery, I would have wanted to ask him about the future. By the way, Kazuma, if you have any insights on the future economy and finance, please tell Honami. how?

"Maybe this can influence the decision-making of the Nanjo Consortium. If the Nanjo Consortium profits from this, it should give you a lot of benefits, Kazuma."

Chiyoko was originally concentrating on her work, but when she heard Tamamo's words, she said directly: "Okay, brother, let's do it!"

Kazuma also convinced his sister who got excited whenever she heard about money-related things.

Could it be that the money-grubbing Amaru in "Ninja Rantaro" was based on her?

While Tamamo came to Chiyoko to help, he said: "Kazuma, please go to school this afternoon and show your face. Although the professors all know that you are lying in the hospital after doing heroic deeds, it is not good to not show up all the time. Show your face and put your face aside." Just hand in the report and give me a few words, and you should be able to pass the first semester classes."

Kazuma nodded, indicating that he understood.

Qingliu: "Didn't we agree to visit Sakata's grave this morning? You won't accompany me?"

"Come with me, so Tamamo said you would show up in the afternoon."

"Yeah." Qingliu nodded, then wiped the peanut butter off his fingers, turned around and went to the locker to get two new slices of bread, and threw them into the toaster.

Tamamo: "Seiryu, do you still want to eat?"

"Yes! It's not enough to just eat bread."

Kazuma looked at Haruyu who was sitting at the table eating fish and drinking miso soup, and couldn't help but be speechless.

She is really good at eating.

At this time, Chiyoko also complained: "Qingliu is so delicious, her appetite is almost as big as that of my brother and Amao combined."

Amao had finished drinking the water and sat down at the dining table to read the newspaper that Kazuma had read. When he heard Chiyoko's words, he raised his head: "Are there so many?"

Kazuma: "I understand, listen carefully, Amao, we have to eat twice as much food from now on, and we can't lose to girls."

Amao smiled, did not answer, and continued to read the newspaper.

Seiryu stepped on Kazuma under the table.

Next, Chiyoko and Tamamo brought all the prepared breakfasts to the table before sitting down to eat together.

Fifteen minutes later, Chiyoko stood up: "I'm going to school."

"Slow down." Tamamo waved her hand and started to clear the dishes.

At this time, Senior Sister Gao Mize appeared in a hurry: "Sorry, I got up late. Xiaoqian, you should call me."

Senior Takamizawa has to work at the dojo to pay for the rent, so helping Chiyoko prepare breakfast and now clean up the dishes should be her job.

Chiyoko: "Senior, I saw you were very tired when you came back last night, so you didn't scream. It's okay. Amao, let's go!"

Amao finished the last grain of rice in the bowl, then saluted Kazuma: "Master, I'm leaving."

"Come on, study hard. If you don't understand anything, just ask us."

"Understood." Amao turned and left the restaurant.

Tamamo handed over the task of clearing the dishes to Takamizawa, returned to the dining table, sat down, and glanced at Haru.

"Stop! Don't say anything like we are a family of three!" Qingliu said loudly.

"How could that happen? I'm only eighteen years old. To have a daughter as old as you, I must be a mature lady in her thirties." Tamamo said with a smile.

"I always feel like you just made all the housewives angry."

As soon as Seiryu finished speaking, Mikako's loud voice came from the direction of the dojo: "Kazuma, Seiryu, we are here!"

Then with the sound of footsteps, Mikako appeared.

"Kazuma! Listen to me, my mother signed me up for a driving school. I will learn to drive this summer. I estimate that I will be able to get my driver's license before school starts in the fall!"

"Oh." Kazuma was indifferent. He was also going to learn to ride a motorcycle and get a driver's license during the summer vacation.

"Kazuma, why are you so cold!" Mikako came over and hugged Kazuma's neck from behind, squeezing the back of his head with her pectoralis major. "You can call me if you want to use the car in the future! I must have inherited her from my mother. Excellent driving skills!"

"When I'm poor enough to rob a bank, I'll consider letting you drive." Kazuma said.

In fact, if you really want to race, there is a master over at Jinguji Temple who can drive a van with a racing steering wheel, so Mikako probably won't be needed.

While talking, Honami also entered the restaurant and said to Mikako with a smile: "Since you have to practice driving during the summer vacation, then you won't be included in your vacation at our island villa."

"Wait a minute! Kazuma should also learn to ride a motorcycle, so that doesn't even count him!" Mikako protested loudly.

Seiryu finished the rice in the bowl and drank the miso soup. He just picked up the milk to drink. When he heard about the island villa vacation, he glanced at Kazuma and said, "With Kazuma's physique, go to the island with him." If you go on vacation in a villa, you will definitely encounter a storm and be trapped on the island, and then encounter a serial murder case."

He Ma laughed loudly: "Is there a number of dolls in the villa that exactly correspond to the number of us? If one person dies, there will be one less doll?"

Honami: "Agatha's "No Survivor"? Then the murderer was the first person to die."

Tamamo: "Not sure, maybe it's the *believers who are causing trouble. Maybe I need to learn how to drive a boat and hit a giant octopus."

Mikako put her arms around Kazuma's neck and rested her chin on the top of Kazuma's head, looking back and forth at everyone: "Can you guys talk about some topics that I can join in on?"

"Mikako, you are from the English Department of Sophia University. In theory, you should be the one who reads the most foreign works now." Kazuma teased.

Mikako sighed: "My teacher asked me to read English works. My latest assignment was to read Marquez..."

"One Hundred Years of Solitude?" He Ma Miao answered.

"Have you seen it again? I finally had to pretend!"

Kazuma originally wanted to memorize the most famous opening sentence of One Hundred Years of Solitude, because it is so distinctive - by the way, many people know this sentence about this book.

But considering that Mikako was very friendly to him today, he decided to give her the opportunity to pretend.

Mikako recited it in English: "Uh... when the colonel faced the firing squad, he recalled that afternoon watching the ice many years ago..."

Kazuma smiled: "You can't even recite the first sentence."

"But I read it! I usually fall asleep automatically after reading so many words, but this time I read it carefully!"

Tamamo: "Mikako is working hard too."

"It's over, she started playing immediately after you praised her." He Ma said.

"No way!" Mikako patted Kazuma, her tone already becoming proud.

Honami looked at Haruyu who was drinking milk and asked another topic: "Has Haruyu's school been confirmed?"

"Well, starting from September, I will enter the elementary school affiliated to Kitagashi High School. I will pay for the tuition first." Kazuma glanced at Haru, "Next year I want to send her to a regular music high school, and for this I have to make some money. .”

Honami hesitated to speak, and finally just smiled at Kazuma and said, "Then come on."

Kazuma knew that she must have just wanted to pay out the money herself, but considering Kazuma's pride, she didn't say anything.

In fact, Kazuma really wanted her to give up the money, and his self-esteem didn't matter. After all, he had had a dream of being taken care of by a rich woman in his previous life.

However, my personality in this life has been established, and there is nothing I can do about it.

After all, not everyone can become the "Tiger of the Crime Squad".

Fortunately, it is not impossible. Producer Oiwakawa Houichi of Sonny Music has convinced the company's upper management to start producing Haruyu and Kazuma's first collaborative single as soon as the funds are in place.

Anno Akito and Okada Koji can also earn some income.

Coupled with the tuition fees of several apprentices, I should be able to make up for next year's tuition fees for Tokyo University and Seiryu's high school tuition.

So Kazuma's expression is quite relaxed now.

Honami looked at his expression and was obviously relieved: "Sure enough, nothing can trouble you Kazuma. By the way, when are you going to go to my manpower dispatch company to learn how to use a gun? Leave your PPK with the police It’s been two months.”

Only then did Kazuma remember that he still had a gun that was kept in the evidence storage department of the Metropolitan Police Department. Inspector Kato of the Metropolitan Police Department promised to give Kazuma as long as he went to a qualified place to receive formal training and passed the assessment. He has a gun license.

He Ma had originally said that he wanted to learn how to shoot a gun, but various things came together and he kept pushing it back.

I am afraid that I, the Beichen Itto-ryu, is following the improved route of Sakamoto Ryoma. There is a high probability that I will have the skill to use a gun later. It would be outrageous not to get a gun.

"Let's wait for the summer vacation, there are only a few days left." He Ma said, and then he suddenly realized that he seemed to be very busy this summer vacation.

Over there, Mikako was already counting on her fingers: "Kazuma, you have to learn motorcycles, learn how to use guns, and go on vacation during the summer vacation. You also have to write songs for Seiruru, and you want to go to Okada-san and Anno-san to do animations." ...Are you busy enough? Ah, I forgot, you are a master of ninjutsu, just use the clone technique."

"There is no such ninjutsu," Kazuma said.

"If you say no, then I have to doubt it!" Mikako said in a loud voice.

Tamamo smiled and said: "The so-called clone technique is actually several ninjas with the same body shape dressing up in the same look. As a result, it became a clone technique due to misinformation."

"Danzi, you're here to destroy my fantasy again! No, leave me some romance!" Mikako screamed.

Kazuma looked at Tamamo meaningfully.

Seiryu looked sideways at Mikako: "Is Mikako the kind of person who always believes that the gifts in the socks on her bedside are from Santa Claus?"

"What are you talking about! How is that possible!" Mikako gently patted Qingliu's head with a knife like a character in a manga. "When I was twelve years old, I waited for Santa Claus to come to put gifts, and then I found out it was me. Dad."

The restaurant fell into silence for a while, except for the sound of senior Takamizawa washing dishes.

Kazuma quietly raised his hand and touched Mikako's ear. It was indeed very hot.

Tamamo: "I'm sorry for ruining your fantasy. I will reflect on it seriously."

"Ahh! Don't do this!" Mikako yelled, "Okay! I'm just a carefree idiot! Really, how on earth did an idiot like me get into Sophia University!"

Kazuma: "Of course it's due to your efforts. As a comrade who reviewed together, I am very clear about this."

"What's wrong with you Kazuma? Did you eat something dirty? Why did you suddenly start flirting with me?"

Qingliu: "Monkey, your face is so red."

"I'm a monkey! Of course a monkey's face is red, right?" Mikako made a loud voice, as if she thought she could cover it up.

Kazuma was about to continue teasing Mikako when he heard Honami clear her throat.

So he looked at Honami and found that the girl had a serious face, so he also became serious.

Everyone else's eyes were also focused on Honami.

Because Seiryu's line of sight was blocked by Kazuma's head and Mikako's breasts, she had to poke her head forward, like a spying little animal.

Honami said seriously: "Everyone, I have discussed with my grandfather. During the summer vacation, in addition to going to the island for vacation together, I will also live in the dojo at other times. Of course, I will pay the rent according to the small amount." The price tag of one thousand is included, as well as food expenses.”

Kazuma: "You...are you aware of my financial difficulties, so you want to share the burden?"

"No, I just feel that as Master's disciple, I have been busy with other things in the past semester, so I should have more time to learn the principles of life from Master."

"What's the truth about being a human being?" Kazuma repeated.

Jinguji Tamamo picked up the tea cup and took a sip.

Mikako silently let go of Kazuma's neck, moved a step to the side, and hugged Haruyu's neck.

Qingliu: "Go away, you've bent my hairpin! And it's so hot!"

Kazuma clapped his hands softly: "Okay! Then when Chiyoko comes back from school, tell her that you can live in the room next to Seiryu."

Jinguji Tamamo continued drinking tea.

Kazuma: "Now our dojo is even more lively. All good things are good things.

"Well, everyone has eaten. I think the morning rush hour is almost over. Let's go and visit Uncle Sakata's grave."

Mikako responded immediately: "Okay! Although I have never met this Uncle Sakata, but he is an important person to Qingliu, right?"

Qingliu nodded seriously: "Yes. Thinking back now, although he is not related to me by blood, in my childhood memories, he is just like my father."

"Then we have to sweep his grave properly." He Ma said and stood up directly.

Tamamo: "I have prepared a suitable tribute."

Honami: "I made white flowers with my own hands yesterday. Come on, Haru, go change clothes. I'll put them on for you after you change."

Tamamo picked up the tea cup again and took a sip.

Qingliu said "I'm going to change clothes" and ran away.

Mikako: "I'm going to help Qingliu change clothes!"

After saying that, she also ran away.

Kazuma suddenly felt that he was not full, so he sat back at the table and started serving food.

Honami immediately took the rice spoon: "I'll do it."

Kazuma handed over the bowl.

Tamamo: "Do you want more side dishes?"

"Ah, okay, come on." Kazuma nodded.

So Tamamo stood up and turned around to get the vegetables from the stove.

**

Sakata Shinsaku's cemetery is actually on the seaside in Kamakura, and it takes a long time to drive there.

Standing at the entrance of the cemetery and looking south, you can see the sparkling sea and seagulls flying.

"This seems to be Sakata-san's hometown." Haruyu explained to Kazuma, "People from their fishing village are basically buried here when they die."

Kazuma: "That's it. Being able to return to his hometown as a soul can be regarded as a settlement."

After saying this, a trace of melancholy flashed through his heart.

——When I die, I wonder if my soul will return to my hometown and the fallen leaves will return to their roots.

——Probably not.

This emotion made Kazuma's expression look particularly solemn.

Seiryu wore a black sailor uniform - this outfit was very suitable for a funeral - with a white flower handmade by Honami on her chest, and walked into the cemetery holding the tribute prepared by Tamamo.

The Sakata family's tomb is quite easy to find. It is a tomb where generations of the family are buried together. The large tombstone is inlaid with photos of several generations of the Sakata family since the advent of photography technology.

There were flowers placed in front of the tombstone, and it looked like someone had been there not long ago.

Qingliu came to the tombstone, opened the tribute box, took out the tributes and arranged them one by one, then clasped his hands together and closed his eyes.

Kazuma stood behind Seiryu and looked at the photo mounted on the tombstone.

To be honest, his impression of Shinsaku Sakata was not too deep. The biggest impact came from his big arms.

However, if it hadn't been for Uncle Sakata, I might have been shot that night - my attention was on Haruyu at that time, and I probably wouldn't have been able to avoid it.

Even if he survives this one shot, the subsequent battle with Yamada will probably be tough.

Therefore, at this moment, Kazuma sincerely sends a silent thank you to Uncle Sakata Shinsaku.

After a while, Qingliu opened his eyes and stood up, putting down his clasped hands.

Kazuma: "Won't you sing a song to him?"

"No, now...I will cry in the middle of singing, and I will not be able to perform at my true level at all. Let's wait until I get my mood in order later." After saying that, Qingliu took a deep breath, turned around, and took Kazuma's hand, " Let’s go, a new life is still waiting for me.”

Kazuma glanced at the girls waiting in the distance at the entrance to the cemetery, and nodded: "Let's go."

After saying that, he took the girl's hand and walked towards the sea.
