I teach kendo in Tokyo

For a whole week after that, Kazuma was very nervous, worried that this Chie Kazuo would come over and attack Mikako.

So he followed his previous plan and asked Mikako to apply for a week of home study, and then took her to attend classes at the University of Tokyo every day.

Now I was envious of the boys who were in Kazuma's class.

For example, Susumu Fujita, the self-proclaimed pick-up expert, almost bleeds from his eyes when he sees Kazuma bringing two styles of beautiful girls to school.

Mikako is now an out-and-out celebrity, so after the news of her coming to Tokyo University spread, people from other departments kept coming to see her.

Some people even came all the way here because they had no classes that day, just to see her in person.

There are no dormitories in Japanese universities, and many people rent apartments on the Kandagawa side in order to find cheap accommodation. Some of the very poor people even live in places like Mitaka. It takes more than two hours to get there without traffic jams.

Kazuma couldn't help but sigh, hormones are really scary, so many people go to such trouble just to see a monkey.

Mikako was not idle at Tokyo University, seizing every opportunity to show her closeness with Kazuma, even having someone lean on Kazuma's shoulder next to her during class.

Later, Professor Sugagawa, who taught criminal law, became unhappy. He pounded the table and asked Kazuma: "Are you here to study or to enjoy life? Enjoy life and get out of my class!"

At that time, Mikako wanted to choke Professor Sukagawa, but Kazuma pinched her armpit hard with his hand to shut her up.

However, Professor Sugagawa was right about one thing. Kazuma enjoyed Mikako's presence all day long. After all, the weather was so cold now, and Mikako could keep half of his body warm.

It's a pity that Tamamo isn't attached, otherwise we could have both Mikako and Tamamo, and the perfect winter confrontation strategy would be complete.

Then sit a Qingliu on your knees to serve as a hearth. It's very beautiful.

A week passed quickly, and there was no movement from Qianjiang Kazuo's side.

Kazuma asked Hanabusa Takashi to keep an eye on Chie Kazuo under the pretext of gathering information. The big reporter really took Wakamiya Daisuke and a bunch of equipment and rented a house opposite Chie's villa to keep an eye on him for a week.

According to Hanabusa Takashi, Chie Kazuo went to a social work organization every day and participated in various activities as a volunteer.

He looks like an ordinary person who is recovering from psychological trauma.

When Kazuma asked if this social work organization had a background in welfare technology, Hanabusa Takashi replied: "Now in Tokyo, all social work organizations have basically received donations from welfare technology, and many have also received donations of physical therapy equipment from welfare technology. .”

This answer didn't reassure Kazuma, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Hanabusa Takashi accepted his commission because he wanted to see if there was any news about Chie Kazuo. This was his job. After finding that there was no news to dig up, he had to chase other news clues. After all, people had to eat.

After Hanabusa Takashi ended his surveillance, Kazuma could only ask Nishikiyama Heita to let a few hooligans come over every day to keep an eye on Chie Kazuo.

There was no way, after all, Kazuma had no soldiers and no money to hire a professional detective company to work.

After a week of studying at home, Mikako went back to Sophia University for classes.

Her boss doesn't want to anymore.

**

Soon, Tokyo had its first snowfall in 1981. The day of the snow happened to be the day before the second review meeting of Okada Koji and his project.

"It's done!" In the company, Koji Okada fired the fireworks tube in his hand, and with a "pop" color bars and gold foil were sprayed into the air by compressed air.

Everyone applauded, and the whole company was filled with joy.

Ofuna-kun, who was in charge of photography, carefully took off the last reel of film from the camera.

Animation photography in the celluloid era was incredibly demanding.

The huge camera was fixed on a stand, with the lens pointed at the backlit table below. The person in charge of photography has to constantly change the celluloid film in front of the camera, and also adjust the background image according to the changes in the movements of the characters on the celluloid, which is very troublesome.

The movements of this thing made by Anno Akito are very complicated, and the characters frequently interact with the debris in the background. Therefore, the background image is often changed after a few shots, which is simply a torture for photography.

Kazuma never imagined that he would be able to experience the boost to productivity caused by the innovation of production tools in this place.

Akito Anno spoke: "Don't celebrate. The film still needs to be developed and edited. Both the original painting and animation can go home tonight, but Okada and I both have to work overtime."

Only then did Kazuma remember that in this era there were no convenient tools like lifelike images, so splicing had to be done with tape.

Fortunately, the animation itself is shot shot by shot according to the storyboard. It is relatively coherent in itself, unlike the live-action film, which is completely scattered and needs to be assembled into a movie from scratch.

If Okada Koji and the others were working on a live-action version, today would really be a blast.

Okada Koji patted Anno on the shoulder: "You always have to eat at the celebration banquet. Come back and cut after eating. Anyway, we have to stay up all night tonight, so there is no shortage of time."

Anno Akito took off his glasses and rubbed his darkened eyes: "That's right."

Okada Koji turned to Kazuma: "Supervisor Kiryu, you have worked hard these days. Without you, this project would not have been completed so smoothly."

After saying this he bowed to Kazuma.

After hearing this, everyone else turned to Kazuma and bowed in unison.

What Kazuma is thinking now is: How did these people even bow at almost the same angle?

Recall that in his previous life, Prime Minister Suga bowed to the US Secretary of Defense, and it seemed to be from this angle.

After Okada Koji straightened up, he said to Kazuma: "Before going to the celebration banquet, let the finance department settle the last salary to you."

Kazuma nodded.

In fact, he wanted to say: Why don't you hire me for a while longer, or just keep hiring me until the start of the University of Tokyo next year.

In this way, Kazuma can pay for his own tuition with the salary here, and the extra money should be barely enough to pay for Amao's tuition - if he can pass the exam.

As for Qingliu's tuition, he should be able to find other ways to pay for it.

Kazuma suddenly thought of Detective Shiratori.

There are also two college students in Shiratori's family. I really don't know where he got the money to pay for the tuition.

His two sons went to private schools, which were much more expensive than national universities like Tokyo University. They were literally "noble" schools.

With the salary of a police department, it is definitely not affordable.

There is no such thing as dual income in Japan, and the female family members do not come out to make money.

Kazuma thought again about Detective Shiratori's shot the night he dismantled the Tsuda Group.

I don't know how much this gun is worth.

Okada Koji: "Supervisor Kiryu?"

Tamamo lightly poked Kazuma's waist.

Only then did Kazuma wake up from his thoughts: "Oh, settle the salary, right? Good, very good. When I go home tonight, I can bring some delicious late-night snacks to my two candidates."

Anno Akito asked strangely: "Examination candidate? Ah, it's the former delinquent, right?"

Anno Akito has also been to Kiryu Dojo several times, so he has naturally met Amao.

Kazuma nodded: "Yes, he also wants to take the entrance exam to Tokyo University."

"Oh, that's great. I was still bad before." Anno Akito showed a sincere expression of admiration, but it immediately turned into worry, "But this is difficult, isn't it? That's the University of Tokyo, and the competition is too fierce. "

Japan's independent university admissions mechanism ensures that good college students have an abundant supply of high-quality students, while no one applies to bad universities at all.

The competition at Dongda is unusually fierce.

Anno Akito: "Can you pass the exam?"

"I don't know." Kazuma shook his head, "The first simulation was a failure anyway, and there will be a second simulation across the country soon. I don't know what the situation will be."

Amao paid for the mock exam himself, which did not increase the burden on the dojo.

Anno Akito scratched his head: "He doesn't need any of the materials we used to prepare for the exam, otherwise we would have scraped together some and given them to him."

"I'm very happy that you have this intention." Kazuma smiled.

To be honest, if Amao fails to take the exam and repeat for one year, the pressure on the dojo will be greatly reduced.

But I quite like this apprentice, and I still hope that he can successfully pursue his dream.

Okada Koji: "Okay, what else can I say at the wine table... Um, is Director Kiryu over 20 years old?"

Kazuma shrugged: "Not even close."

"Ah, this, this..."

"I can have tea instead of wine." Kazuma reconciled himself, "Let's go, I'm so hungry that my heart is pressed against my back."

"Okay, let's go!"

So the group set off in a mighty manner.

**

Akito Anno's second concept show, thanks to Kazuma's efforts, has completely become a cyberpunk ninja story with Jack Chen's imprint.

The whole concept film looks cool, very cool, and the plot is extremely simple. It just gives the ninja a reason to kill people, and then they kill people in various ways, whether it is sports battles or chase battles.

During the chase, a cyberpunk-style future city was revealed.

Of course, as a cyberpunk work, it is indispensable to display various prosthetics, brain-computer interfaces, etc. Anno Akito and the others used these modern technological elements to reinterpret ninjutsu.

Fire Release means having an implanted flamethrower in your mouth, Clone Technique means a robot that is exactly like yourself controlled by artificial intelligence, and so on.

Kazuma also playfully gave the protagonist's prosthetic robotic arm a built-in umbrella that can block bullets.

Miyazaki Hidetaka in this time and space can only pay tribute to this design in the future. He would never have imagined that this was his design in "Sekiro" in another time and space.

This cool, dazzling concept film was brought to the review meeting of the Chiyo Foundation by Okada Koji.

In the afternoon of the same day, Okada Koji called Kiryu Dojo and told Kiryu that the promotional video had been approved and that additional investment would be in place soon.

Kazuma was holding the receiver and wanted to ask Okada Koji, now that you have funds, should you continue to hire me as a supervisor?

But Okada Koji didn't mention this matter at all, and hung up the phone directly after informing him.

Kazuma scratched his head and decided to go back and continue flipping through the part-time magazine.

In the next few days, Hema interviewed several part-time jobs with good hourly wages, but was not hired at any of them.

Whenever Kazuma comes home these days, Chiyoko scolds Kazuma just like a wife scolds her husband who was fired: "What's wrong with you? You can't even find a simple job, and you're still a student at Tokyo University! Look at Amao , can work four or five part-time jobs at the same time!”

Kazuma looked at Chiyoko like this and felt inexplicably: My daughter is just like the water that was thrown away, and my sister is almost the same.

A few days later, as reporters gradually stopped disturbing the Fujii family, Ms. Fujii came to the dojo and picked up Mikako, whose boss was unhappy.

Mikako didn't want to leave. When her mother took her away, she was still whimpering: "Why do you want me to live here?"

Ms. Fujii glared at her daughter: "You're still asking me! How many days have it been? You come every month on time, and you don't bring anything late!"

"Oh, Mom! If you take birth control, you will come on time!"

"Then let me ask you, have you done it?"

Mikako immediately looked around and said to him: "Well... there are many reasons, such as the atmosphere and the moon phase. In short, I have been working hard! I have made Kazuma accustomed to the feeling of me clinging to him!"

"What's the use of just sticking it together!" Ms. Fujii looked like she hated iron. "You have to eat meat! Make a hole in the equipment you use to eat meat. If it does, you will win over my stupid daughter!"

"You live here now and pay for accommodation and food every month. Our family is just an ordinary middle-class family. It will be very difficult for you to go to college!"

…

Kazuma almost heard all of this conversation thanks to his superb hearing.

He silently made a note in his mind: Don't use the equipment provided by Ms. Fujii easily, as there may be many holes in it.

A few days passed after Mikako was dragged away by her mother, and Kazuma finally found a short-term job.

The workplace is on the rooftop of a newly built shopping mall in Shibuya.

The top-floor rooftops of shopping malls built in Japan in this era are generally configured similar to the food courts in shopping malls in recent times. They are prepared for customers to take a break when they are tired from shopping.

In addition to various food stalls, the top floor is also equipped with children's play facilities for children to play.

The job Kazuma is looking for is to perform as a Kamen Rider in the children's theater on the top floor.

In fact, it can’t be counted as Kamen Rider. Shopping malls like this generally won’t buy expensive Kamen Rider licenses just for the sake of a children’s theater.

Kazuma plays an unknown hero who looks like Kamen Rider, he seems to be named He-Man or something.

But that leather case looks very subtly similar to Kamen Rider.

It's at the point where Kamen Rider's copyright owner comes to sue, but it just can't be sued.

That afternoon, after finishing get out of class at Tokyo University, Kazuma went straight to Shibuya.

**

As soon as Hema entered the mall, he saw the open space under the central patio, and a small area was enclosed for promotion.

The product advertised is a physical therapy device.

Kazuma subconsciously thought that he had encountered Welfare Technology again, but a closer look revealed that it was not the case. It was a physical therapy device from a brand he had never seen before, but the overall packaging was very similar to that of Welfare Technology.

I don’t know if it’s because Welfare Technology changed the skin, or because others are greedy for their share and started to buy competitive products.

With curiosity, Kazuma stepped forward and took the free brochure.

Kazuo Ma also took the brochure of Welfare Technology. There were a lot of inexplicable things in the brochure, such as some kind of telepathy, etc. At first glance, it didn’t look like a serious brochure. There was also a bust of Aikawa Horutaka on the brochure. photo.

Although this brochure is also nonsense, it looks more scientific. It mainly uses some specious words to fool people, such as spectrum and ultrasonic vibration.

In fact, this kind of physical therapy device is just a mat that generates heat and vibration. It probably can't emit any other waves except sound waves and thermal energy radiation.

Kazuma glanced through the booklet roughly and made a rough judgment.

Welfare technology is making a lot of money, and others will definitely come in to take a piece of the pie. Free market, capitalism.

Kazuma put the pamphlet in his pocket and went up to the top floor.

The children's theater is easy to find. Once you get to the top floor, you can see the colorful spire of the theater shed.

Kazuma entered through the employee entrance and met a tall man head-on.

The man came up and asked, "Are you the Kiryu who came to work today?"

"Yes, I am."

"Not bad, very strong." The man looked Kazuma up and down, "Have I seen you before? You look familiar."

Kazuma: "Ah, I am Kiryu Kazuma, the female monkey from Sophia University before - I mean the talented kendo master, I often give interviews with her."

"Oh!" The man suddenly realized, "It's you! I remember you are a ninjutsu practitioner!"

Kazuma smiled awkwardly: "Absolutely."

The man who had not introduced himself so far came up and hooked Kazuma's shoulder, and asked mysteriously: "How does it feel to be your apprentice?"

Kazuma smiled awkwardly and replied vaguely: "It's okay."

"Wow, is this okay? You have too high a standard." The male patted Kazuma on the shoulder, and then stretched out his hand, "You can just call me Johnny."

Kazuma: "Johnny?"

"That's my stage name. Don't look at me doing this kind of work here. I am an active artist registered in the agency, but I am not famous. One day in the future, I will become the most popular star in Japan, and then marry someone who is not famous. Lost to your apprentice Sang’s wife.”

Kazuma thought to himself that it would be difficult to marry a girl who is not inferior to Mikako. Apart from her personality and brains, that monkey is a perfect match.

Johnny continued: "I'll tell you about the scene later..."

Kazuma: "You still want to talk about drama? When I came to apply for the job yesterday, the interviewer said that I just need to be able to play."

"That's right. Children can't understand your too complicated plot. But you still have to tell the story. Have you read a book called "The Self-cultivation of Actors"? Even if it's a moment of drama with only one line, , and you have to perform well."

He Ma carefully observed this Qiao Ni and determined that he did not look like Stephen Chow or Cao Dahua.

——Does the book "Damn Actor's Self-cultivation" really exist?

Johnny has already started talking: "Our stage is very simple. Just go up and fight. You do a few somersaults, and I will do a few somersaults with the combatants. It's very simple. The key point is in the middle. There is a scene between me and you. , I want a flying kick, you will fall to the ground, it is best to roll a few times."

Kazuma: "Well, shouldn't the second rider be responsible for the failure?"

Kamen Rider has a tradition of having a main rider and a secondary rider, also called the second rider. In the plot, in order to highlight the strength of the enemy, the second knight will be beaten and beaten from time to time.

In this plot setting, the second rider plays the same role as Vegeta in the later stages of Dragon Ball - as long as a new awesome BOSS appears, the BOSS must beat Vegeta to highlight its awesomeness.

Johnny patted Kazuma on the shoulder: "Look at our setup, do we think we can afford to hire so many powerful actors? I am the only one who can perform flying kicks in the entire theater, and the others are just here to fill in the dance practice Health, a somersault is the limit."

Kazuma: "Oh."

"Anyway, you will fall down, and then the narration girl will come out and say to the children, 'Children, let's lend our power to Superman and shout with me'..."

Kazuma: "Then I get up?"

"Of course, wait until the kids start shouting excitedly. Once they get up, hit me with your coolest method. I'm not bragging, I've practiced a little bit of judo, so just hit me, I'll be fine, I can cooperate. you."

Kazuma looked up at the third level judo level above Johnny's head.

Level three, this is indeed the level of "a little" practice.

This guy's judo level is not even as high as the karate level that Kazuma learned from Mr. Suzuki in his "spare time".

Kazuma had no doubt that he could use his karate throwing skills to restrain his judo throwing skills and throw others out.

It seems like you have to take it easy later and don't beat this guy up.

"Okay, that's about it." Johnny reached out and patted Kazuma on the shoulder, "I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation."

Kazuma nodded: "I'll try my best."

Johnny nodded, and then his watch suddenly rang.

He had a digital watch with him, and now it was beeping.

"Oh, it's already that time." Johnny muttered, taking out a small plastic bag from his pocket - it looked like the kind of bag used in hospitals to carry small amounts of prescription drugs.

Johnny opened the bag and poured out a blue pill.

Kazuma frowned and asked alertly: "What is this?"

"A drug that can improve brain activity. It is said to allow you to see the acting god." Qiao Ni said, and then immediately added, "This is not an anesthetic! I took it to a third-party testing agency to check the ingredients. , it seems to be mainly various vitamins and fructose, probably to improve brain vitality in this way. Anyway, I take it regularly, and the effect is pretty good. I feel that my acting skills have indeed become stronger."

Kazuma asked with a serious expression: "Is this drug used a lot in your entertainment industry?"

"In our office, we basically take food as a nutritional supplement. In order to maintain our figure, we actors often skip meals and only take nutritional supplements. This is nothing to be surprised about." Qiao Ni said nonchalantly.

Hema thought about it for a while and asked: "I also want to try it. Where can I buy this medicine?"

"This... I don't know. We were given it by the office, along with other nutritional supplements and so on." Johnny shrugged.

Kazuma was speechless - it really couldn't be asked so easily.

Welfare Technology, I have caught your tail again.

He looked at Johnny in front of him and grinned. In order to catch Welfare Technology, he had to have a good relationship with this guy and get to know more people in their office.
