If I don't have money to go to college, I can only go to slay the dragon.

After discussing the response strategy, the four people turned off the faucet at the sink and filed out.

After returning to the wine table, everyone discovered that a geisha had come to the performance venue on the dance floor. She was wearing a black background with rattan flower embroidery, large sleeves, and a gold background belt around her waist. She was dignified and beautiful. She was sitting on the second floor. A row of bands played the traditional shamisen.

Inuyama Ga, who was accompanied by a beautiful woman, was not surprised that Lin Nian and others returned to the drinking table, smiled and led everyone to sit down and continue the drinking game, and warmly introduced the geisha dance called "Fuji Musume" that was currently being performed on the stage. , for a play like Kabuki, you must understand the background story, otherwise you will have no idea what it is about.

Seeing Inuyama Ga explain Japanese traditional culture to them seriously, Lu Mingfei couldn't interrupt him all of a sudden. He could only wait patiently for the geisha performance to end. After the four people applauded, Lu Mingfei was about to speak, and the head of the Inuyama family said Suddenly he raised his hand to call the famous geisha from Kyoto to come closer. He looked at Lin Nian and others and asked enthusiastically, "Now is the perfect time. Do you want to play one or two traditional Japanese games with our geisha?"

"Uh, what game?" Lu Mingfei asked subconsciously.

"A little game played by Japanese geishas. The locals call it Kinbira-bune. It is a game spread from Gion, Kyoto." The Inuyama family, who was drunk until his cheeks were drunk, gestured to the geisha girl to put a small golden oval in the air. The objects were brought up and placed on the wine table, "Maiko, please briefly introduce how to play this game for all the guests!"

The geisha girl, who was called Maiko, explained to a few people in fluent English that this game called Kinpira Ship々 is very simple. Place a wine bottle tray on the table, the shamisen musician starts playing, and the geisha will sing. Playing a traditional song, the two people take turns placing their hands on the wine bottle tray in the middle according to the beat.

If the wine bottle tray is on the table, the hand will be used as a cloth, but if the wine bottle tray is taken away by the other party and is not on the table, the hand will be used as a stone. In the shooting round, either party can choose to take away things on the table, but they need to put them back in the next round, and can take away things three times in a row at most.

The two sides take turns taking action until one side violates the above rules, which means the side loses.

Specifically, there are three conditions for failure:

1: When there is something on the table, I subconsciously make a fist and put a "stone" on that thing.

2: When there is nothing on the table, the palm opens and a "cloth" covers the table.

3: Take something off the table for the fourth time in a row.

Generally speaking, it is a small game of comparing reactions. Geisha performance shops in Gion basically have this kind of game. They are happy to ask tourists to come up and interact with the geisha. If they win, they will get a small gift. If they lose, they will get a small gift. Have a glass of wine.

"Caesar-kun, do you want to give it a try? Our geisha girl is very powerful!" Inuyama He smiled and looked at Caesar who was thinking thoughtfully.

"Me? Well, you can give it a try." Caesar thought about it and agreed with a smile. He stood up and walked over to move his position to sit opposite the geisha. There was a wooden one between them, which was similar to a bell. sized oval wine bottle tray.

"Since it's a game, it's natural to have some jackpots, so let's just fine the bar! How about the loser punishing himself with a glass of strong drink?" Inuyama Ga took out a bottle of soju without a label, looked at Caesar and asked.

"I don't have a problem." Caesar said that he didn't care, but he could still afford to drink as a fine, and their strategy in the bathroom just now was to drink everyone at this table until they were unconscious. Said this punishment was just what he wanted.

"Then the game begins." Inuyama Ga clapped his hands.

On the second floor, the shamisen played a Japanese folk song called "Kimhira Bunsen", which was also the designated music for this banquet entertainment game. The geisha began to open her hands and place them on the oval wooden tray, and then signaled the Kai Sa spread his hand, and Caesar covered it with his hands in a decent manner.

Then in the second round, the geisha took the wooden tray away. Caesar clenched his fist and placed it in front of the tray according to the rules. The geisha smiled and nodded at him and put the tray back to show that he did a good job.

Several of Inuyama He's goddaughters who were watching from the side also clapped to the rhythm, causing Lu Mingfei and Lin Nian to also follow the beat.

But as he patted and patted, the smile on Caesar's face slowly faded away during the game, because he found that the rhythm was getting faster and faster. He and the geisha took turns taking action. From the beginning of one beat every two seconds, it gradually accelerated to one beat. One shot per second.

Lin Nian, who clapped to follow the rhythm, raised his head and glanced at the second floor. It was obvious that the musician playing the shamisen above was deliberately speeding up. In other words, this is the essence of the game. If it is a normal and constant speed, then it is estimated that the player is playing The game won't be over until it gets too difficult, so the speed of both sides' attacks is gradually increasing faster and faster, until whoever makes a mistake under high pressure will face the end of the game.

Gradually, the speed of the game has reached two beats per second, that is, in one second, Caesar and the Geisha have completed their respective rounds, and the speed is still rising.

Until the thirty-third round, Caesar subconsciously slapped the empty table where the tray had been taken away, and then saw the geisha opposite him holding a wooden tray and smiling at him. This also meant that he lost. This is the game, because when the tray is taken away from the table, you have to make a fist and put a stone in place of the tray.

"Awesome." Caesar nodded and admitted defeat, and then drank the cup of soju poured by Inuyama Ga under the service of the geisha.

At the moment when the shochu was in his mouth, Caesar suddenly paused, then looked at the shochu bottle without any brand or label standing on the tatami next to Inuyama Ga, and then drank the remaining wine in the cup expressionlessly and turned it upside down. He held the wine glass to show that he had not skipped drinking, and received applause and cheers from everyone.

"Caesar-kun has a good drinking capacity!" Inuyama Ga applauded and praised.

"The Inuyama family leader also gave me a glass of good wine." Caesar took a deep breath and said.

"You are already very powerful. Many professional geishas would lose the game against you, and this is your first time playing this game!" The geisha girl who was serving Caesar a drink encouraged him, but Caesar just smiled. Let it go.

This Zashiki game is actually not difficult. The main point where he lost was after the thirty-third round. The quick shots basically didn’t have time to think. When the reaction speed couldn’t keep up, he could only rely on muscle memory, and Obviously, for a geisha who is used to playing this kind of Zashiki game, whether to use cloth or stone is already instinctive. Even if he persists to forty rounds, he will lose the game.

"Do you want to do it again? Caesar-kun?" Inuyama Ga asked with a smile, "Maiko was the champion of the last Gion Zashiki game! Kinpira Ship is her best game. If you want to beat her, you can It takes a lot of effort. If you still lose in the second challenge, the winnings will become two drinks as a penalty!"

Chu Zihang, Lin Nian, and Lu Mingfei looked at each other. Inuyama He had indeed planned to use wine as a weapon to bring them all down here.

"I won't humiliate myself. This kind of game that relies on reaction is not suitable for me after all." Caesar thought for a moment before shaking his head and retreating.

In the thirty-third round just now, he saw clearly that the tray on the table had been taken away, but the speed of his attack was faster than his vision and reaction, and the slap was already taken. Without relying on Kamaita, his physical reaction speed could not match his other advantages. However, in this game, Kamaita could not rely on him to assist him, so he chose to retreat despite the difficulties.

He understands that his advantage has always been hearing, and he does suffer in this kind of game.

And in his current situation, he would probably lose in the second game. He found that he had fallen into Inuyamaga's trap.

"Chu Jun, do you want to give it a try? I heard that Chu Jun's weapon is a Japanese sword. As a swordsman, both reaction and the timing and judgment of the shot are extremely important. This game may give you something to learn from it." Realize it!" Inuyama He looked at Chu Zihang at the wine table and invited, "The bet is also a glass of wine!"

Chu Zihang paused for a moment, then stood up and walked over. When passing by Caesar, he heard Caesar whisper to him: "There is something wrong with the wine."

Chu Zihang paused and glanced at Caesar. Caesar's cheeks actually turned red, and there was an obvious sense of sluggishness on his body when he walked back. This was obviously a manifestation of alcohol.

He glanced at the bottle of soju of unknown origin next to Inuyama Ga, and roughly understood what was wrong with the so-called wine. First of all, he was sure that the wine was not poisonous. He would not dare to do this even if he gave Inuyama Ga ten thousand courages. If someone poisons someone on this occasion, the only explanation is that the alcohol content in the bottle is very high - or rather intoxicating.

Although it is just a drinking game, it is not a joke. Inuyama Ga is probably fully prepared to entertain them tonight!

But Chu Zihang did not flinch, but sat opposite the geisha in a standard sitting posture. The two of them were separated by the tray, and they nodded slightly as a salute. Those who knew clearly that this was playing a game, and those who didn't knew thought it was a game. Courtesy before a joust.

"Please." Chu Zihang said.

"はい." The geisha nodded.

The shamisen on the second floor began to play, and Chu Zihang and the geisha began to slowly alternate. The goddaughters behind Inuyama He actively clapped their hands and sang the Japanese folk song. After singing it over and over, they continued singing from the beginning without finishing. The tune is played over and over again.

The rounds in which Chu Zihang and Geisha took turns soon reached the thirty-third round where Caesar made a mistake just now. The speed at this time was particularly fast. The wooden tray was picked up and put down quickly. The main change in this game is On whether to pick up the tray, when to pick up the tray, and how many times to pick up the tray, by disrupting the opponent's rhythm, the opponent will misjudge and make mistakes to end the game.

Chu Zihang's eyesight, reaction speed and physical coordination were all greater than Caesar's. He passed the thirty-three rounds easily. By the fortieth round, the singing behind him had ended, because people His singing voice could no longer keep up with the speed of their attacks, so he could only rely on clapping to keep up the rhythm.
