I teach kendo in Tokyo

After the car started, the driver used the loudspeaker to say to the whole car: "Hello, fellow passengers, because the tour guide who usually works with me is not here this time, I can only give you a brief introduction to this road. Next, we will go along." Sightseeing Route 'Leaving Tokyo..."

Kazuma: "Is this sightseeing route out of Tokyo different from the ordinary route?"

"The difference is that the sightseeing route takes a long way around and you can see Mount Fuji." The driver said simply and straightforwardly.

Next, he briefly introduced the scenery that could be seen along the way, then put down the microphone and concentrated on driving.

Mikako stood up from his desk, lay on the top of Kazuma's backrest and said, "Where's Mount Fuji? Kazuma, did you dream about mountains, eagles and eggplants this New Year?"

Kazuma turned to look at her: "Miss, it's July now. Do you remember the dream you had six months ago?"

"If it was a very important dream, of course I would remember it, probably." Mikako said as she ate the pear, "Oh, this pear is pretty good."

From the back seat came the voice of little Miss Gan: "Of course, these are pears obtained from the best pear farmer in the village."

"Isn't this your pear?" Kazuma exclaimed.

"My family raises horses, but my father has a good reputation both in the village and in the town, so it's normal to take some things from other families."

Kazuma frowned. He didn't know why the image of Ganzhong's family in his mind became that of a village tyrant who started his business by raising bamboo rats.

He looked down at the tomatoes and felt that they looked pretty good. Ganzhong's father had snatched them all, so it wouldn't be good if he didn't eat them, so he and Ma took a bite.

The sweet and sour juice suddenly filled Kazuma's mouth. To be honest, it tasted really good.

Mikako reached out and grabbed Kazuma's neck, pulled the tomatoes and hands together in front of her, and took a bite of the tomatoes.

"Oh, it's not bad. Come and try this pear, Kazuma."

Before Mikako finished speaking, she shoved the pear into Kazuma's mouth.

Kazuma was forced to take a bite, and while he was chewing, Honami handed over a biscuit across the aisle: "Want to eat it? It's imported from Italy."

Kazuma was quite fond of Italian food, so he swallowed the pear and took a bite.

He deliberately bit forward a little further, so that his teeth touched the smooth fingertips.

Honami pretended to be angry and slapped him on the head.

Kazuma turned to look at Tamamo happily, fully expecting that she would feed him something, but he found that she had already taken out the book and opened it.

"Won't you get motion sickness while studying in the car?" he couldn't help but ask.

"No," Tamamo said lightly, "After all, I used to sit on horseback and read a lot, and that one would shake even more."

Mikako: "The Jinguji family also raises horses?"

"Yes, we used to make some Chinese pastries, such as horseshoe cakes and so on. In order to get fresh horseshoes, we raised our own horses."

Mikako stared at Tamamo with a serious face: "You...you are definitely bluffing me!"

"She is," Kazuma said.

Tamamo smiled.

Mikako was about to say something when she suddenly heard the sound of a guitar coming from behind the car and looked back.

Kazuma also turned back, but his view was blocked by a huge part. He could only turn his head to the side to avoid the obstruction and saw at the end of the carriage, Seiryu holding the guitar and playing with the strings.

When she sang it, it was a light song.

A very suitable song for children's spring outing.

Kazuma had never heard of this song, but it was obviously a popular folk song or children's song in Japan. Everyone in the car started singing along with Haruyu.

Just like this, I ate hot pot with Ma and his party - no, there was no hot pot, ate fruit, sang songs, and drove on the road leaving Tokyo.

Not long after crossing the Kanagawa border, the driver announced on the loudspeaker: "You can see Mount Fuji!"

In fact, everyone has already seen Mount Fuji, which is regarded as the symbol of Japan.

Kazuma's first impression of Mount Fuji came from an imported Japanese movie he watched when he was a child. In it, the villain yelled at his subordinates: "If you fail again, go jump off the crater of Mount Fuji!"

So for a long time, Kazuma's impression of Mount Fuji was "a place where villains deal with their failed subordinates", and the mountain pass was full of corpses of villains.

Later, Kazuma gradually changed this impression by watching more and more Japanese movies and dramas.

To be honest, just as a scenery, Mount Fuji is quite beautiful, but Kazuma is not Japanese and has no humanistic bonus at all, so he thinks it is a "pretty good scenery".

He Ma went to XZ once in his life and saw Mount Everest from a distance, which had a humanistic bonus for him.

Unlike Kazuma, Mikako, as a Japanese, obviously sees Mount Fuji as a cultural bonus. She exclaimed: "It's awesome. I feel like my mind has suddenly become wider."

Kazuma glanced at her and poked her with his finger: "Don't you always have a broad mind?"

"It's not this broad! It's inside, inside!"

"What, your chest is too enlarged? Is that a disease?"

"Kazuma, you are always so incomprehensible about amorous feelings and your points are severely reduced." Mikako said.

At this time, Seiryu changed the song: "隠しきれない动り香が (the lingering fragrance that cannot be hidden)..."

Kazuma complained to her from a distance: "Seiryu, this is Mount Fuji, not Mount Amagi! Why are you singing "Over Mount Amagi"?"

"They're all mountains! How about I sing you a theme song about the sinking of Japan?"

"Why, what's the connection?"

"Didn't Mount Fuji erupt when Japan sank?"

Kazuma was stunned, he didn't expect to be able to contact him like this.

While talking and laughing, the bus gradually moved away from Mount Fuji and traveled through the countryside.

At this time, they had left the Tokyo metropolitan area, and the surrounding scenery became visibly "rural".

Kazuma vaguely remembers that he came to Japan after 2010 in his previous life, and the countryside around Tokyo seemed to look like this.

The tour guide he hired at that time said this: In Japan outside the city, time seems to have stopped.

I can deeply feel the urban-rural division in Japan.

At this time, Tamamo, who had been reading, suddenly raised his head and looked out the window.

Kazuma also looked curiously in the same direction, but didn't see anything.

"What's wrong?" Kazuma asked.

Considering Tamamo's identity, Kazuma always wondered if she had felt something just now.

Tamamo: "Nothing, just letting my eyes rest."

Mikako: "It scared me. I thought you suddenly saw some wandering ghost on the road, head of the Supernatural Department."

"Former director of the Supernatural Department," Tamamo corrected, "now he is the vice president of the New Kaidan Research Association."

Kazuma raised his eyebrows: "How many days have I been lying in the hospital and you got a promotion? Isn't it possible that the middle school sister Ganzhong has been sidelined?"

"That's too much. I wouldn't do that kind of thing." Tamamo glanced at Kazuma complainingly, "It's because Amanaka-san wasn't doing anything in the first place that I took the responsibility."

Kazuma and Mikako said in unison: "It's better to keep it quiet!"

Honami looked across the aisle and bit her lip. It looked like she wanted to join the conversation, but the aisle blocked her.

At this time, Miu Amanaka came up from behind holding a piece of corn: "What are you talking about? Are you discussing new ghost stories?"

Tamamo: "Yes, we are discussing the new ghost stories. The hot spring street we are going to this time seems to be a place with a lot of folklore. Miss Ganzhong should collect materials carefully and try to participate in this year's new ghost stories research meeting Publish your own novel in the magazine."

Miu Amanaka frowned: "Well... for the New Kaidan Research Association, do you have to write the New Kaidan yourself? Can't you just read it?"

"But Miss Ganzhong didn't write much after reading it." Tamamo said.

"Well...there's no requirement to write a review, right?"

"The school student union is considering taking back the activity room of the New Monster Research Society. Many newly established clubs are still waiting to use the activity room. If the current president of the New Monster Research Society has not published a single article, he will naturally be questioned. I'm not carrying out club activities properly." Tamamo came up with the correct argument.

Miu Amanaka 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 because of our OBs' incompetence..."

OB, which is the abbreviation of old boy, generally refers to school graduates. Japan attaches great importance to alumni relations, especially in universities. After graduation, alumni relations are a very important interpersonal bond in the workplace.

In theory, graduates will often go back to school to see their juniors to strengthen this connection.

Many of the graduates of the New Kaidan Research Society seem to have stopped showing up at school after graduation.

At this time, the car suddenly swayed greatly. Sister Ganzhong was almost knocked down, but she managed to grab Kazuma's shoulders temporarily.

She pulled open the armrests of Kazuma's seat, unfolded it into a small chair, and sat down.

This time the chair made no sound.

Kazuma and Mikako thought of 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 arriving at the hot spring street, I'll take a sauna first. It can help me lose weight."

Kazuma: "I'll steam it too. It will help me lose weight."

Miu Amanaka looked at Kazuma and then at Mikako, with a puzzled expression on her face: "Why did you suddenly start talking about losing weight? Who gained weight?"

Kazuma shrugged.

As if deliberately diverting the topic, Tamamo suddenly said, "Ah, there is a shrine."

Kazuma turned to look out the window, and sure enough he saw a secret mountain road on the roadside leading deep into the forest. Several torii gates were erected on the road. The first torii gate had a rope attached between the two pillars, and there was also a Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, and Culture certificate hanging on it. seal.

"Abandoned shrine?"

"Yes, it will happen when the last generation of the god-lord dies, or the god-lord's family moves out of the shrine and lives in a more modern urban area."

"That's it..."

"There are quite a few cases where religious corporations have declined. They have become modernized," Tamamo said.

Miu Amanaka asked very strangely: "Why do you, Jinguji, feel like an old woman when you talk about this topic? When I first entered college, my family sent me to Tokyo, and my grandma acted like this, and everything she saw was... I have to sigh. When she saw the old wooden apartment building on the Kandagawa River, she said: This is not good. The B29 came and took care of it, and they insisted on renting a reinforced concrete apartment."

Kazuma thought to himself, so you rented an apartment managed by Asakura Councilor's old lover. That apartment is indeed unique among the old low-rent apartments near the Kanda River. It is a rare quasi-high-end apartment.

Mikako said with a smile: "Sister Ganzhong, when you go home this time, you can tell your grandma that Americans no longer use B29! Now they use B52! And their weapons are no longer the burning wood during World War II. Like napalm, reinforced concrete!"

Miu Amanaka: "Why did I tell my grandma this? I'm not crazy! Why do you know this?"

"Ah? I learned this from listening to Hema and Amao talking about the international situation every morning! I also know that T72 and T64 are the mid-to-low match between high and low."

Kazuma laughed: "Let's see what you can do. Then can you tell me the difference between the T64 and T72 automatic loaders?"

"I don't understand!" Mikako said loudly.

In fact, Kazuma didn't understand it at first, but in his previous life he liked to play a game called "War Thunder" and drove a Soviet car all day long, so he understood it.

Miu Amanaka muttered: "Why are boys so familiar with weapons? The same goes for that guy Toda. He talks about famous swords all day long."

"Probably because men have been responsible for wars for thousands of years, dependence on weapons is engraved in the DNA." Kazuma said.

At this time, Tamamo said coldly again: "Ah, fox."

Kazuma's first reaction was to look at Tamamo, and then he turned to the car window.

So he saw a row of headless Ksitigarbha in the woods on the roadside. The last sculpture was not a Ksitigarbha, but an abstract fox.

Kazuma: "Are there many such things in the Japanese countryside?"

"There are quite a few," Tamamo replied, "After all, this was once an archipelago populated by monsters and monsters. The power of the people of Middle-earth was too strong, and the weirdos had no choice but to flee far away."

Mikako: "What are you talking about? Middle-earth? Human power?"

"I'm telling the story of Xu Fu's journey to the East."

"Eh?"

Tamamo smiled slightly and didn't care.

Kazuma thought to himself that as a member of the "weirdos", Tamamo's greatest sorrow was probably that speaking openly about weird things like this would only be regarded as a joke.

This is probably the power of modernization.

The light of science replaces the grace of God and shines on the islands where demons and monsters once roamed.

Tamamo turned her head and continued to look out the window in trance. The book in her hand had not been turned for a long time, and the bookmark made of flattened and dried red leaves almost slipped out from the pages and fell on her knees.

Kazuma stared at Tamamo's side face, also a little lost.

Mikako finished eating the pears, took out the playing cards, and patted Kazuma on the shoulder: "Kazuma, let's play ghost cards!"

"What's going on in this carriage that's so narrow?"

"Why don't you turn over and it's over? Honami, let's play together!"

Honami looked like she was getting what she wanted: "Okay! Let's play!"

Seeing Honami's excitement, Kazuma could only agree to join the game. To be honest, it was a little uncomfortable to lean sideways, but it was just a way to exercise her waist bending ability.

Mikako shuffled the cards casually and then dealt the cards directly to everyone.

On the chair in the last row of the carriage, Qingliu was still playing light music.

The car continues to move towards its destination.

**

After passing Mount Fuji, the car drove for about two hours and finally arrived at the destination.

The hotel rented by Sony Music looks exactly like the oil house in "Spirited Away", except that there is no long bridge in front of the oil house, and there is a parking lot instead.

There were already two minibuses parked in the parking lot, and Kazuma suspected that they were the cars occupied by other staff members of Sonny Music.

"Dear passengers, this bus has arrived at the end of the journey. Please take your luggage and get off." The driver said through the loudspeaker.

Kazuma: "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 great time chatting, about B52 or T72, so I didn't say anything." The uncle turned to Kazuma and smiled, and then suddenly remembered, "Oh, by the way, signature! This, this...I Let’s see what you sign, because the company didn’t say you wanted to take the car when they assigned the job, so I wasn’t prepared!”

Jinguji Tamamo took out a notebook and said, "How about Kazuma write it here, and then the driver takes it back and tells your child that it was a notebook given by Kiryu-sensei."

"Is this okay?" The driver's uncle was overjoyed.

Kazuma: "Of course."

As he spoke, he took the pen handed over by Tamamo and wrote the words "Study hard and make progress every day by Kiryu Kazuma" on the title page of the notebook.

The uncle driver took it over with gratitude. When he saw "Study hard and make progress every day", he frowned: "This... what does it mean?"

In Japanese, "learning" is written "reluctantly", and Kazuma writes in Chinese.

He Ma: "Chinese proverb, study hard and strive for the best."

"Oh, it's actually Chinese. You're worthy of being a Dongda student and knowledgeable!"

Kazuma stood up with a smile, took his bag from the luggage rack and got out of the car.

As soon as you get out of the car, you will feel a breeze blowing on your face, with the faint fragrance of flowers, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.

Kazuma looked in the direction of the wind.

This hotel is halfway up the mountain, and the entire hot spring street is built at the foot of the mountain. You can have an unobstructed view from the parking lot of the hotel.

In the distance, you can see the shrine's torii gate and shrine flags at the foot of the mountain across the hot spring street from the mountain where the hotel is located. The stone steps leading to the shrine are hidden in the green forest.

Kazuma had heard that in this kind of Japanese countryside, as long as there are people living together, there must be a shrine.

Compared to the secluded and backward countryside in the Japanese horror-themed works I had seen in my previous life, this hot spring street is obviously very modern due to tourism development. There are modern convenience stores and public facilities within Kazuma's reach. There are phone booths and a lot of 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: "Is there a festival going to be held near here soon?"

Tamamo: "You ask me? It's my first time here."

Kazuma: "Aren't you very familiar with sacrifices and tributes? After all, you are the daughter of the Jinguji family."

"This kind of festival in the hot spring street is probably organized by the local tourism bureau to attract tourists. It has nothing to do with the ones I am familiar with." Tamamo said firmly.

Kazuma 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 such situations. Religious legal persons also need to survive. Now is not an era where you can live just on the money in the money box. Look at Tokyo. "Many shrines that did not originally have the function of protecting love have begun to sell love amulets, and shrines dedicated to the god of marriage are now selling amulets for promotion and wealth."

Good, good realistic topic.

Jinguji Tamamo added: "Even our family, our wagashi was originally only supplied to Chinese people, but now we have to open a store to sell it to the public. Survival is not easy, Tamamo sighed."

——What the hell is that cutesy thing at the end?

As he spoke, Oiwakawa Houichi led two social workers in suits and leather shoes and a woman in a gorgeous kimono and ran out of the hotel quickly to meet Kazuma and his party.

Depending on her age, the woman in kimono is probably the "female general" of the hotel.

Of course, you can also call her boss lady, but the formal title is female general.

This is similar to how the owner of a sushi restaurant is called "General".

"Teacher Kiryu, I'm sorry, you are here much earlier than expected." Oiwakawa Hou ran to Kazuma and stopped in front of him. He was panting heavily because he ran too fast and was a little fat.

The proprietress of the hotel seemed like a normal person, and she didn't even breathe quickly.

Kazuma glanced at the top of her head and found that she was at level 17 of Tanigami Naginata Jutsu, no wonder she wasn't panting.

The proprietress was also looking at Kazuma, but didn't pay attention to the girls behind Kazuma at all.

"This is Ms. Fushima, the female general of the hotel Hinaganso." Houichi Oiwakawa introduced, "She is here to bring the teacher and apprentices to check in."

Ms. Umashima bowed to Kazuma: "Teacher Kiryu, I have heard of you for a long time. Please come this way."

Kazuma also bowed to her, and before he could speak, Mikako asked: "Is it okay to take a bath in the hot spring now? Is it a mixed bath?"

"There are mixed baths, as well as separate baths for men and women. You can choose freely. However, the hot springs are still being cleaned and will not open until three in the afternoon."

Ms. Umashima introduced.

Oiwakawa Houichi added: "There are separate springs on the mountain, and they are all made of small pools made of stones. You can take a bath when you find them when you go for a walk on the mountain. However, the water in these springs is relatively hot, and the hot springs in the hotel are all after waiting. , a little cooler.”

Kazuma glanced at the mountain behind the hotel and wondered why there was an element of exploration in it. Did finding a hot spring and soaking in it increase the speed of stamina recovery?

Ms. Umashima smiled and said: "Mr. Ryunosuke Akutagawa likes the hot springs on the mountain here very much. His favorite pool is now called Dragon Pond. Mr. Kiryu is also a person with the name of Dragon, maybe you can take a dip. Get inspired.”

Kazuma nodded, and then realized - he should be the only one who knows about the term "lone dragon", why the female general said "the name of the dragon"...

So he asked: "Do I bear the name of dragon?"

"Isn't it Kiryu?" Ms. Ubashima smiled.

Kazuma then remembered that his last name had the same pronunciation as "Kiryu", especially ryu, which was pronounced as dragon.

From this point of view, I am indeed considered a person with the name of dragon.

During the conversation, Mikako became impatient. She simply took her luggage and strode towards the hotel. As she walked, she shouted: "I'm going to explore the mountains! The hot springs in the mountains are also being cleaned, right?"

"That's not true." Ms. Umashima smiled, and then said to Kazuma, "She is such an impatient young lady."

Qingliu: "She is a monkey, so monkeys are anxious."

Ms. Umashima laughed: "Although that lady is anxious, she still looks very dignified. She is not a monkey... Those guys, please follow me..."

As soon as Ms. Umashima turned around, she saw Mikako carrying her luggage and jumping back and forth between the hotel wall and the big tree at the door of the hotel a few times before getting on the roof.

Her smile froze.

The wind blew by.
