I teach kendo in Tokyo

Chapter 406 Reunion with old classmates

The day after returning from the hot spring, Kazuma met Anri Okada at a coffee shop in Shibuya under the arrangement of Honami.

Kazuma looked around strangely.

Honami, who came with him, patted him on the shoulder: "What are you doing?"

"Have you gone to the toilet, Tagani-san?" Kazuma asked confused.

Honami lightly stepped on Kazuma's foot under the chair.

Okada Anri was drinking juice, but after hearing Kazuma's words, she put the juice down, looked at the table and sighed.

"Everyone has their own peach blossom period. Mine just bloomed a little later." Anri Okada said.

Kazuma coughed to cover up the embarrassment on his face: "Ahem, let's talk about business. You should know this person here, right?"

Okada Anri glanced at Hinami Rina and nodded: "Of course I know you, President Sangma. Miss Kitaka is a beautiful girl who is inextricably linked to the three Kiryu sisters."

This is about what happened at the Beijing High School beauty pageant at the cultural festival in my senior year of high school.

Kazuma: "What the hell are the three Kiryu sisters?"

"Everyone calls Nanjo, Fujii and Jinguji that way behind their backs." Anri Okada smiled and changed the topic, "Back to the topic, you shouldn't be reminiscing about old times by calling me out, right?"

Kazuma nodded, glanced at Rina Hinami, and said, "It's about Hinami's future. She wants to get into an ordinary university first, and then participate in theater troupe activities during college."

Okada Anri stared at Hinami for a few seconds: "Do you want to continue in the entertainment industry? Then wouldn't it be better to just find a relationship with the reader model?"

"No, I won't go that way again. I will never do anything like a pillow business again." Hinami Rina said firmly.

Okada Anri understood immediately: "That's it."

Kazuma: "You understand so quickly."

"Because many of the very good-looking girls in our troupe did not want to be unspoken and do not want to be in business, so they graduated from the idol development agency and came to the troupe to start with small roles."

Okada Anri said while taking a big sip of juice.

"Because of this, this road is actually very difficult because it is already overcrowded. In comparison, it is a little easier for someone like me who aspires to be a screenwriter to develop. Although I am only a helper in the theater troupe now. "

Kazuma said "Oh": "That's it."

While Okada Anri was sipping the juice, she stared at Hinami Rina and asked doubtfully: "Why does a beautiful girl like you have to take this path? Isn't it normal to marry a formal member of a big company?" You can find a private university that is easier to go to and get your diploma, and then seniors from the university will naturally drag you to participate in such social networking and blind date activities."

Japan is now on the eve of entering the bubble era. There will be at least ten years of prosperity in the future. According to Anri Okada, it is a good way out. At least before the bubble bursts, it can lead to a prosperous life.

As for after the breakup, formal members of large companies will have lifetime employment. As long as the company itself is not destroyed, the quality of life will not drop too much.

After all, being able to sneak into a large company and become a formal member is considered the quasi-upper class in Japan.

After the bubble burst, the real unlucky people were the middle and lower classes.

Rina Hinami looked directly at Anri Okada and asked, "Then why does Okada-senpai strive to be a screenwriter?"

"Because I'm not good-looking." Anri Okada responded.

"Plastic surgery and makeup technology are so advanced now. If Okada-senpai is determined, he can make himself look better."

Okada Anri was silent for a few seconds before replying: "Because I like writing stories, and I want to try writing stories to support myself. Does President-san like acting? If you don't like acting, just treat this as entering acting. On the other side of the circle, I..."

Okada Anri hesitated for a few seconds before saying this, and then shook her head: "I can't say anything. After all, there are already a lot of people in the troupe who just want to use the troupe as a springboard to become Feiyu. President Sang Ruo wants to come In our troupe, I will connect you."

Kazuma tilted his head to observe Hinami Rina's face and found that she had a thoughtful expression.

Hinami Rina noticed Kazuma's gaze and asked, "Do I have to like acting to take this path?"

Kazuma: "Not necessarily. There are only a few people who can engage in the work they like. Most people don't engage in a certain industry because they like it. It's more of a coincidence."

Just like Kiryu Kazuma in his previous life, he didn't become a sales representative because he liked selling things to gringos. If he really had to choose according to his own preferences, he might become an independent game developer or a psychiatrist.

Looking back on his job search experience, it seems that he entered the foreign trade industry through a series of coincidences, and because he was good at bragging, he actually did well.

Hinami Rina was not satisfied with Kazuma's answer and continued to ask: "Is it a coincidence that you became a police officer?"

"Yes," Kazuma shrugged, "If Xiaoqian hadn't stopped me from selling the dojo at that time, I would have sold the dojo long ago and lived a prosperous life by speculation. But there are no ifs in life, and the dojo still can't be sold. , I have become enemies with the Yakuza again, so I can only take the police route and become the police chief to defeat those Yakuza."

Honami touched Kazuma with her knee under the table, and then he realized that Anri Okada was looking at him with bright eyes.

"That's great," Okada Anri said as soon as Kazuma's eyes met, "Can you tell me more about the part about becoming enemies with the Yakuza?"

Kazuma: "Haven't I told you before?"

"You only said that you and Ji Dao had some friction over the matter of selling the dojo! You didn't say anything about having a feud later on!"

Kazuma scratched the back of his head: "Well... you can actually read the relevant reports of Weekly Fang Chun. The real situation is not as exciting as what they wrote."

"For this kind of thing, the first-hand feelings of the person involved are more valuable."

"But now we are discussing the approach to Nichinan Ricai."

Okada Anri stared at Kazuma for a few seconds and sighed: "Okay. But when you are willing to accept my information, you must call me to inform me."

Kazuma responded vaguely, then turned his gaze back to Hinami Rina: "So, have you thought about it?"

Hinami Rina nodded vigorously: "I've thought about it. If I find a career I like along the way, I will switch to this career. Before that, I want to work hard to become Hiyu."

"Then it's the same as we agreed before. You first get into a decent university, and then ask Okada to introduce you to the theater troupe."

Okada Anri nodded: "I told you, I have no problem. But let me make it clear, there are so-called talented actors in our troupe. I don't know how long she can stay in our troupe, but she has succeeded. It made several girls give up their dreams of becoming actors and seriously plan to get married."

"Really?" Kazuma looked at Okada suspiciously, suspecting that she was scaring Hinami.

Okada: "Really, everyone said privately that there must be something wrong with someone like that coming to a small theater company like ours. She should go to one of the big theater companies operating in Ginza to shine.

"When she joins that kind of troupe, she will definitely be spotted by a big director and make her debut directly.

"A small theater troupe like ours doesn't have the attention of any big directors at all. The last senior who made a successful debut was accidentally spotted by a fledgling director and acted in an academic experimental short film before he got on the right track."

Okada's words aroused the curiosity of Honami, who had been standing by silently. She finally said: "Which one are you talking about? Did she appear in the Macbeth you performed before? Why do I have the impression that the actresses in that play performed very well? generally?"

"That's because she played Macbeth in that play." Anri Okada said while stirring the juice with her habit to let the pulp crumbs float up. "If she plays a female role, the aura of all the female characters will be different." She was suppressed and became dull. The director said that in order to avoid this situation, she could only let her play a male to weaken her halo."

Honami said "Oh": "It's Macbeth, that's understandable. That Macbeth is indeed very good, handsome and crazy. If I didn't already have someone I like, maybe it would be him." A big fan."

Kazuma was caught off guard by the sudden straight shot and could only drink coffee like the great fox Gululu.

Okada Anri acted like a girl starting to gossip: "Isn't it? Isn't it amazing? After that performance, we received a lot of gifts, all for her who played Macbeth and the Cowherd Club. The manager came over. It's obviously a small performance in a small theater."

Hinami Rina: "Why does it sound like a male servant from Takarazuka Theater Company?"

The Takarazuka Theater Troupe is all-female, so when male actors are needed, female troupe members dress up as men.

Takarazuka will have a special "boys". To put it simply, they are girls who professionally dress up as men and play male roles. The appeal of these girls among Japan's upper-class women even exceeds those handsome ones promoted by agencies such as Guinness. Male entertainers.

There are even women from big families, from grandmother to mother to daughter, who are fans of Takarazuka Theater Company Omatsu for three generations.

Hinami Rina continued: "This guy is so good at playing male roles, why not go to Takarazuka? If he becomes a star with his acting skills, he will have a bright future in the entertainment industry."

Kazuma responded casually: "I don't have any money."

"Eh? Did you go to Takarazuka to ask for money? Shouldn't it be that after you passed the selection, the troupe paid you a salary?"

Kazuma shook his head: "This was indeed the case in the past, so there were many girls from civilian backgrounds in the Takarazuka Theater Company. But later, due to labor disputes, the girls of the Takarazuka Theater Company launched a strike with the support of the left wing."

Hinami Rina's mouth opened into an O shape.

Kazuma: "The result of the strike seemed to be that the girls won, but after that, the chaebol behind the Takarazuka Theater Company spent more than five years purging left-wing forces from Takarazuka and related industries, so the theater company's door was closed. The common people are permanently closed.”

"Um..." Anri Okada lowered her voice and asked, "Kiriyu-kun, are you going to join the university..."

"No, not at all." Kazuma denied flatly.

"I haven't said what to join yet."

"It goes without saying that you all know it. I didn't join. Please look at who I am interacting with now. How could I join?"

Honami picked up the tea cup with a very formal and elegant movement and took a sip of black tea.

Anri Okada looked at Honami and whispered: "But in the story, a young lady like Nanjo-san will definitely betray her class for love."

Honami coughed, probably because she swallowed the tea a little too quickly and choked on it.

Okada Anri seemed to have understood something from Honami's actions. She shrugged: "It's okay. Recently, due to the troupe's activities, I have come into contact with some seniors in drama. I am not surprised by these."

Honami cleared her throat: "Aren't we discussing Hinami-san's future now?"

Hinami Rina: "Draw me out as soon as the topic turns to a bad direction? That's all. I'm very interested in the senior of this troupe. Can you introduce me to her? According to you, she may debut next year. Are you no longer in the troupe? Then let me meet her now?"

Okada Anri showed a troubled expression: "Now the troupe's activities are temporarily over, and they will not resume until the school starts in September. I don't have any personal relationship with that person. After all, he is the absolute core of the troupe, TOP STAR, and I am just an errand boy." of.

"We will start rehearsing a new play in September, which should be King Lear. You can come and see it then. After the rehearsal is over, I will find an opportunity for you to see it. Don't hold out too much hope..."

Okada Anri suddenly stopped and looked at Kazuma: "Ah, if it's 'that Kiryu' who wants to meet TOP STAR, that's another matter."

Kazuma pointed at himself: "Is this Kiryu?"

Okada nodded repeatedly.

"Am I already so famous?"

"Basically, anyone who buys the weekly Fang Chun knows you, Kiryu-kun! We are all people in the troupe who target the entertainment industry, and most of them have the habit of paying attention to the entertainment industry gossip."

Kazuma: "I thought those were just star-chasing fans who paid attention."

"Of course not. According to people in the group, Fang Chun can tell by reading the weekly magazine who is the big thunder to walk around and who is the big leg to hug. Kiryu-san, you are now recognized as the big leg, and many people think that you will definitely leave. Film and television route.”

Kazuma scratched his head: "Why do they have such an illusion?"

"There are rumors that the Academy Awards will set up an action director award starting from this year," Anri Okada looked at Kazuma, "That one is prepared for you. Last year, your performance in "Tokyo Express" won the award from a certain great director. To be appreciated. If you ask me, if President-san wants to be Hiyu, he doesn’t need to follow the theater troupe route, he can just hug Kiryu-san’s thigh tightly.”

Hinami Rina let out a long sigh: "Becoming a senior's exclusive actress is much more difficult than debuting in a theater troupe. The main reason is that there are too many strong competitors."

Kazuma interrupted her: "The main reason is that I don't want to take the film and television route at all."

"That's it," Rina Hinami looked at Kazuma with resentment, "you still wrote a song again for little sister Haruru."

"That's because I don't have money, okay." Kazuma made a poor voice, "Haruyu wants to study in pitch, but most of the high schools with music subjects are expensive private schools, what do you think I think? What if I think otherwise? How do you get the money? Do you think I will write songs?"

After all, it was plagiarism. Although no one could sanction such plagiarism across time and space, Kazuma would still feel uneasy in his conscience.

After all, not everyone is Guo Jingming and has such a thick skin.

When Kazuma said that he had no money, Okada Anri turned his confused eyes to Honami.

Honami held the tea cup and drank tea with an elegant gesture.

Okada Anri shrugged, as if he didn't intend to delve into Kazuma's housework.

She pulled out the straw of the juice and drank the remaining juice in the cup. After putting down the cup, she said, "If there is nothing else, I'll leave first."

"Well, I'm sorry to trouble you this time."

"I am the one, but I feel like I can't help much." Anri Okada glanced at Hinami Rina.

Hinami Rina shook her head repeatedly: "No, it is very valuable for reference. Especially the question about whether I like acting is very enlightening."

Okada Anri smiled: "I took this compliment seriously. See you later. By the way, Kiryu-kun, if you want to accept the interview, you can call my apartment directly and I will write to you."

Kazuma: "Do you still have a phone in your apartment?"

Making phone calls in Japan is very complicated.

"How is that possible? It's the landlord's phone number. Just call Okada at 303." Anri Okada took out a note pad from her bag, wrote the number, tore it off and handed it to Kazuma.

Kazuma glanced at it, then handed it to Honami.

He kept the habit from his previous life and didn't take a bag with him when he went out, so he gave everything to Honami to keep.

Okada added: "But you probably won't be able to find me if you call recently. I will go to the countryside to collect materials."

Kazuma immediately became energetic when he heard "countryside" and "materials". He looked at Okada seriously: "I'll give you a suggestion. When you see Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, you must worship him, and then you must be in awe of the sayings spread in the countryside. You must not break the rules with your heart. Also, when you hear Dvořák’s new world, you must return to your residence.”

Okada Anri looked at Kazuma with a surprised look on her face: "Why are the suggestions you gave me, Kiryu-kun, so similar to those given by the seniors in the troupe?"

That means your senior is an experienced person.

Kazuma: "This is called heroes seeing the same thing."

According to Tamamo, in a big city like Tokyo, the mysterious power will be very weak, but in the mountains where human activities are not affected, the mystery will be correspondingly enhanced.

"I'm just going to Hakata to collect the scenery. I'm not going to some ravine. Don't worry."

Kazuma raised his eyebrows: "Hakata? Is it the Hakata from Fukuoka?"

Okada asked rhetorically: "Is there another Hakata in Japan?"

Hema Fu'e: "What a coincidence. I'm going to Fukuoka to participate in the Jade Dragon Banner in a few days."

"That's right, but you must be accompanied by Nanjo-san and other beauties. I won't join in the fun. If we can meet up, let's eat ramen together." Okada said with a goodbye gesture and turned towards the coffee shop. Go to the door.

Vera forced her to give her likes, and when she had time, go to her homepage and like the hilarious posts.
