I teach kendo in Tokyo

Mikako hung out at the dojo until seven or eight o'clock as usual, and then returned to her home.

Because of the incident, Kazuma personally sent her to the downstairs of his home this time.

"Why don't we kiss goodbye?" Mikako asked with a smile while standing at the door of her house.

Kazuma patted her head: "Although you were injured today, I can give you some preferential treatment, but the preferential treatment does not include this."

"Stingy." Mikako complained with a pout.

Kazuma patted her shoulder: "Okay, let's go back."

After saying that, Kazuma turned and left.

Mikako stood outside the entrance door of her house, watching Kazuma disappear before turning around and entering the house.

"Mom, I'm back!" she shouted as she took off her shoes.

"We heard the noise when you were at the door!" Ms. Fujii appeared, hands on her hips, "When I saw you on the news today, I thought you were going to spend the night at the dojo, but you came back anyway!"

Mikako sighed and said, "Mom, what are you thinking? There are several people in the dojo now. Even if I stay in the dojo overnight, nothing like what you imagined will happen."

"Hmph, I see you, there is no hope, find something to think about as a way out." Ms. Fujii scolded with a straight face.

Mikako took off her shoes, put them away, and then stepped on her tatami in slippers. She passed by Ms. Fujii and went straight to the kitchen: "I'm dying of thirst. Is there any barley tea?"

"Yes, you leave some for your father." Ms. Fujii said.

Mikako went into the kitchen, took out the barley tea from the refrigerator, drank it mouth to mouth, and finally put the bottom of the bottle into the refrigerator.

Ms. Fujii quickly stopped her: "You only have so much left and you still put it in! I'll pour a new one after you drink it!"

"You asked me to save some for dad, but I didn't finish it." Mikako complained in her voice. She poured the remaining barley tea into her mouth and took the bottle to make new ones.

While she was busy in front of the stove, she suddenly said: "By the way, Mom, I got the opportunity to study abroad."

Ms. Fujii frowned: "What opportunity to study abroad? Which country?"

"Go to England and be an exchange student in Cambridge."

"Don't speak English, I can't understand you."

"I'm going to Cambridge, Cambridge, in England." Mikako said again.

However, Japanese borrowed words have always had a tradition of transliteration, so the name "Cambridge University" is still pronounced using katakana.

Ms. Fujii frowned: "What the hell?"

"It's a university in the UK. Don't worry about it. Anyway, just know that it is the most powerful university in the UK, equivalent to the University of Tokyo in the UK."

Ms. Fujii looked confused: "Who got the opportunity to study in Cambridge?"

Mikako pointed at herself with her index finger.

Ms. Fujii's expression didn't look like she believed what she said: "How is that possible! Unless all the professors in your school are so funny, they will choose you."

"Maybe he was just being funny." Mikako shrugged, "Anyway, after what happened today, Professor Kokusai—Professor Kokusai, the chairman of our school's professor association, came over and asked me if I wanted to study abroad."

Ms. Fujii: "Do they think you are always causing trouble and want to send you away quickly?"

"It's possible." Mikako looked at the ceiling and suddenly laughed, "If you think about it carefully, this is the biggest possibility. Send this troublemaker like me away quickly, or I will turn our school into a left-wing nest. .”

Ms. Fujii sighed: "When can you use your energy to make troubles and cook rice with Kiryu-kun!"

"Oh, one code equals the other. So, should I go to study abroad?"

"Of course not! If you go to study abroad for several years, doesn't that mean you have completely left the competition with the dojo boss lady?"

Mikako pursed her lips, looked at the ceiling and thought for a while, then said: "But thinking about it on the other hand, if I go to study abroad, I will have a competitive advantage that is unique to me! After studying in Cambridge for four years, I will be a returnee. Maybe even have blond hair and blue eyes..."

Ms. Fujii interrupted Mikako's sweet dream with a cold comment: "It won't happen. What are you thinking? It's impossible to change human race!"

"Then I can dye my hair!"

"Then you can dye it now too!"

"There's no reason for Ran to transform now! Oh mom, take a longer view!"

Ms. Fujii said rudely: "You are a guy who just thinks about it without long-term planning, and suddenly you start talking about the long-term?"

"My status in the dojo is close to that of Kinoshita Tokichiro!"

"What, you still want to be Guan Bai?" Ms. Fujii retorted, "Do you have that ability?"

Mikako was about to retort when her father came into the kitchen with this thermos cup.

"What are you arguing about? It's so heated?" Mr. Fujii said in a teasing tone.

Ms. Fujii pointed at Mikako: "Your daughter wants to study in Cambridge."

Mr. Fujii looked stunned: "Cambridge? Is this the Cambridge I understand?"

"Yes, that's the one." Mikako nodded, "The national professor told me personally that he could give me the quota for exchange students every year."

Mr. Fujii said "Oh", came to the table and sat down, then looked at Mikako seriously and said, "Then what do you think? Do you want to go to England?"

Mikako shrugged: "I don't care..."

"How can you be indifferent? This is your future, and you are going to a strange country. I think if you are so indifferent, then don't go." Mr. Fujii said with a straight face, "After all, you are going to live in England alone. , the risk is definitely very high. There was a strike in the UK some time ago, and there were also attacks by the Irish Republican Army."

Mikako came to the table with the brewed tea and sat down.

Upon seeing this, Ms. Fujii hurriedly came over and sat down at the table, forming a three-chamber interrogation posture with her husband.

But Ms. Fujii left the "chief trial" to her husband.

Ms. Fujii is essentially a traditional Japanese housewife, although she behaves like a new woman in many places.

Mr. Fujii asked seriously: "Okay, tell me what you think."

Mikako looked at the ceiling.

There is a ceiling fan hanging from the ceiling of the Fujii family's kitchen. It is said that some families have now begun to fully implement air conditioning, but most Japanese families do not yet have this condition.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that some Japanese-style one-family buildings do not have good sealing conditions.

Fujii Mikako looked at the ceiling fan on the ceiling, and suddenly felt a little hot, so she unbuttoned her collar.

While unbuttoning, she felt a dull pain in her chest.

So she started rubbing it again.

Mr. Fujii frowned: "You talk."

"I caused a big commotion in school today. I am a wounded person. Dad, do you have any sympathy?" Mikako complained.

Mr. Fujii asked: "When will the decision to study abroad be made at the latest?"

"Of course, the earlier the better. But it can be postponed until the end of this year at the latest." Mikako responded, "But I think there is nothing to consider. This kind of opportunity is quite precious, and now it is on my head. I feel like I should go, it would be a loss if I don’t!”

Mr. Fujii laughed dumbly: "What do you mean by that?"

"It's a fact!" Mikako said solemnly, sitting up straight with her hands on the table, "Usually, this exchange student opportunity can only be obtained by a group of people breaking their heads to grab it. Now it's just given to me, It’s obvious that I’m the one taking advantage! If I don’t take advantage, am I still a human being?”

"No!" Mr. Fujii refuted his daughter seriously, "The key is whether you want to study in the UK or not!"

"I want to go, I want to get a bargain." Mikako said firmly.

"Don't think about whether you want to take advantage of it or not. Just think about whether you are interested in Britain." Mr. Fujii said sincerely, "Do you want to study in England?"

Mikako raised her head and continued to look at the ceiling fan: "I don't think so, probably. But I think it's okay to study anywhere. Is it possible that I can still like studying? Studying such a annoying thing, I can do anything!"

Mr. Fujii was shocked: "How can you say that studying is something you hate? You have already gone to Sophia University!"

"How do I know how I passed the exam?" Mikako spread her hands. "I just listened to Kazuma and passed the exam. Dad, you don't have to think about it so complicated. I just want to get the advantage."

Mr. Fujii already looked like he didn't want to talk nonsense with his daughter.

Upon seeing this, Ms. Fujii came out and asked, "Are you really willing to leave Kazuma for four years?"

"What's the point of being reluctant? The feelings I have for Mama and Ma in my heart have not faded in ten years, let alone four years!" Mikako said as she touched her breasts with her hand, but she accidentally touched her left breast, which made her wince in pain. .

Ms. Fujii scares Mikako: "In four years, Kazuma may even get married!"

"How is that possible?" Mikako waved, "It will take him three years to finish college, and he has to take the A-level civil service exam in the last year, so he is very busy. He has just started working and is even busier, and he has to wait until he gets to the police station to get married. By then I was back like lightning.”

Ms. Fujii stared at her daughter for a while and sighed heavily.

She turned to look at her husband.

Mr. Fujii sighed: "It seems that Mikako has already thought about it, so there is no use saying anything else."

Mikako nodded: "Well, I'm very stubborn. By the way, I really think that going to Cambridge to study abroad will make me more competitive. It will take more than half a year from the time I decide to go to Cambridge to leave. Maybe my relationship with Kazuma will be better in this half year. It will go further.”

Mr. Fujii shook his head: "That's not important. What's important is whether you want to study in the UK and whether you are interested."

"I told you, I don't care about studying or anything." Mikako shrugged.

"How can it not matter?" Mr. Fujii sighed, "Forget it, there is no point in telling you more. Since you have already decided, then just leave it like this."

Mikako smiled and said, "Thank you, dad."

Mr. Fujii sighed: "It was already very difficult to support you in college, but now you have to go to Cambridge. The tuition and living expenses... Alas, your dad has just been promoted and received a salary increase. As a result, our financial situation has not improved. Next The first salary increase will be in two years."

As a regular employee of a large company, Mr. Fujii will definitely be promoted as long as he accumulates working years under the current lifetime employment system. However, the lifetime employment system also determines that he cannot be promoted quickly and has to endure the working years.

Mikako smiled and said to her father: "Oh, even if I go to England, it will be in the second half of this year. Besides, our family still has savings."

Asian families have the habit of saving, and the Fujii family is no different.

Mr. Fujii looked at the ceiling: "There are savings. But this was originally intended to be used to renovate our home."

The Fujii family still lives in the old house, and only part of the building has been renovated.

Mr. Fujii sighed: “Now, I have to move the renovation back.”

"Oh, dad, are you optimistic? When I came back from Cambridge, I became a civil servant in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, with an annual salary of 10 million."

Ms. Fujii frowned and said, "Rather than you becoming a civil servant at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, I would rather you marry Kiryu as soon as possible and become the proprietress of the dojo."

"There is still a chance for this!" Mikako said confidently.

"Hmph, there might have been a chance," Ms. Fujii poured cold water on her, "Now that you have studied abroad for four years, the day lilies will be cold."

Mikako could only laugh "ah ha ha ha".

**

The next day, Mikako appeared at the entrance of Kiryu Dojo very early in the morning and announced loudly: "Wazuma, I have decided to study abroad!"

Kazuma poked his head out of the bathroom with a toothbrush in his mouth: "What the hell? Have you decided now? Isn't it a little too hasty?"

Mikako put her hands behind her back and looked at Kazuma with a smile: "Why, Kazuma, you don't want to leave me?"

Kazuma: "Nonsense, of course I won't let it go. You are the most beautiful scenery of our dojo."

"Hmph, you just talk about it, but in fact you don't take any action at all." Mikako said with raised eyes.

"The scenery is for appreciation. What do you want me to do?" He Ma said and started brushing his teeth again.

"Isn't it just a waste of appreciation?" Mikako asked.

At this time, Haruyu came out of the bathroom after brushing her teeth. She glanced at Mikako and said, "Be careful when you go to England. There are Irish police in England."

"Hmph, if they are encountered by me, I will use kendo to deal with them!" Mikako said and made a gesture.

Qingliu rolled her eyes and ran to the kitchen: "Xiaoqian, where's breakfast?"

"Ready, ready. Let's go after eating." Chiyoko's voice came from the kitchen.

The prestigious private school that Qingliu currently attends is a bit far from the dojo, so Qingliu now has to go out early every day.

Fortunately, Japanese high schools don’t start until after nine o’clock.

After Seiryu entered the kitchen, Kazuma looked at Mikako and asked, "That's how you decided? Don't you think about it more?"

"Well, it's decided. I convinced my parents yesterday." Mikako stretched as she said, "Oh, it took a lot of effort to convince my parents."

Kazuma: "What's the reason? It can't be to implement your happy-go-lucky, go-with-the-flow attitude towards life, right?"

"That's almost it. After all, you see, this exchange study place is super precious, and it's a pie-in-the-sky good thing. How can I refuse such a good thing?" Mikako paused, then smiled evilly. He said, "Don't leave unless Kazuma tells me to."

"I don't know how." Kazuma smiled, "I hope the girls in the dojo can pursue their dreams."

"But I didn't go to Cambridge for a dream." Mikako blinked, "I just happened to get the opportunity."

He Ma smiled and said: "This is also to implement your attitude towards life that goes with the flow. Since you want to implement your attitude towards life, then I will choose to support you."

"Really?" Mikako took off her shoes and scampered to Kazuma. Her chest muscles were shaking extremely violently along the way - it seemed that she was wearing soft clothes as usual today.

Kazuma: "Really, really."

"Are you really not reluctant at all?"

"I just said I was reluctant to let go, right?"

"Did you say that?"

"I told you, I also told you that you are a rare sight in my dojo."

Mikako giggled: "Then do you want to keep me?"

"If I don't hold you back, I wish you a safe journey." Kazuma looked at Mikako with a smile, "And I sincerely hope that your time in Cambridge can change your attitude towards life."

In fact, what Kazuma meant was that he hoped Mikako could get her own entry in Cambridge.

He, the morning star, had been giving guidance for so long, but he still couldn't get Mikako to get the entry, which made him feel a little frustrated.

Mikako saluted Kazuma: "I understand! I will try my best! By the way, I am in Cambridge, trying to bring some blond and blue-eyed girls to your dojo!"

Kazuma smiled: "Do you have blond hair with twin tails? You can have it!"

"Yes, I also think blonde hair is particularly suitable for twin tails!" Mikako agreed.

At this time, the entrance door opened, and Hinami Rina walked in: "Hinami Rina has arrived! What, Mikako came first."

"Hinami, I have decided to study abroad!" Mikako said loudly.

"Eh?" Hinami was shocked, "Where are you going to study abroad?"

"Cambridge, England!"

"Eh? Is it that Cambridge? It's amazing!" Rina Hinami exclaimed sincerely.
