I teach kendo in Tokyo

Although Dandanzi only took third place, he didn't seem to care at all and joined Hema and the others with a relaxed look on his face.

Why do I have the feeling that your plan succeeded? You obviously only got third place. Kazuma asked doubtfully.

The chairman spread his hands and said, Because my plan succeeded.

What's the big plan? Kazuma couldn't help but ask.

Chairman: Let's make a big fuss and leave a mark on the last cultural festival of high school.

The Kiryu siblings looked at her suspiciously.

Kazuma: Really?

Dandanzi nodded: Really.

Chiyoko changed the subject: Isn't playing the drum very strenuous? I can't tell that Jinguji-senpai has quite a lot of muscles.

No, I'm just trying to be brave. Now my muscles are sore due to overdraft. I probably won't even be able to lift my hands tomorrow. The chairman looked depressed and seemed to be really worried about his muscle soreness tomorrow. look.

She acted so realistically that Kazuma couldn't help but believe it.

What's left is the Houye Festival. Chiyoko said, Outsiders are not allowed to participate in the Houye Festival. I will go home first and wait for you guys to come back.

Kazuma grabbed Chiyoko's arm: No, Nanjo has said hello to the principal over there. You can stay and participate in the Houye Festival. It's safer this way.

Oh. But what about Amao? Theoretically speaking, Amao may also be targeted, right?

Yes, but Amao is a boy. It is a man's duty to encounter evil and then fight. He Ma said, If I say to Amao, 'I'm worried about your safety, please stay within my sight. Guilty', what would he think?

Chiyoko raised her eyebrows.

Hmm... I don't understand, I'm a woman. Chiyoko said, But when you said that, brother, I remembered it. That night, when you went to dismantle the Tsuda group alone, I was so worried that I went crazy It’s better not to have anything like this happen again in the future, whether it’s you or Amao, you are prohibited from going out to do big things with the consciousness that you will never come back.”

Chairman: This should be impossible. You can either try to get used to waiting at home, or you can go into battle and fight alongside him.

Chiyoko turned to look at the chairman of the committee, and just as she was about to speak, Mikako's voice came from the distance: Kazuma! Look, MISS Beigao, I got it!

Kazuma looked up and complained: It was obviously Nanjo's light that got it, what are you trying to do?

In the final vote, Nanjo and Mikako were counted as a team, so this time there was an unprecedented tie for MISS Hokugao.

Humph, Mikako ignored Kazuma's complaints, My appearance and talent have finally been recognized by everyone! Kazuma, you have to cherish me more!

Okay, okay, I will definitely cherish it more. He Ma said.

That's so insincere. Mikako pouted, but immediately started laughing again, Forget it, I'm happy today, that's it.

The chairman suddenly said: Mikako sang really well in her second song, Si Qiu Qi.

Look! Danzi knows it! Mikako immediately went over and hugged Danzi's shoulders, They are really good sisters. But it's a pity that Danzi you are so cool, you are so handsome. These people don't know how to appreciate you.

The Chairman just smiled.

At this time, Hinami Rina's voice came from the loudspeaker: This is the student council president. Everyone can move around freely before the Houyo Festival. The executive members of the Houyo Festival will now gather at the student union office. The Houyo Festival will start on time at 7 o'clock tonight ,above.

The chairman looked up at the loudspeaker and said, I have regained my heroic spirit.

She said and glanced at Kazuma.

It's completely different from when she came on stage for the second time just now.

Kazuma pretended to be looking at the scenery.

Chiyoko sold him directly: That's right! I remembered it, and I want to file a complaint! I originally expected my brother to go over and enlighten the president, so that he could increase the income of the dojo, but it turns out that he only picks up girls, not business. , I’ve waited for it in vain!”

The girls looked at Kazuma together.

He Ma spread his hands and said, I just went to share some life experience with her.

Chairman: What can we have for dinner later?

Chiyoko: Wait a minute, are you going to stop holding me accountable?

There is nothing to hold accountable. Whether there are new disciples in the dojo has nothing to do with us old disciples. Theoretically speaking, the operating status of the dojo has nothing to do with us.

Chiyoko tilted her head: Hey, it seems...that's it.

After all, whether Chairman, Nanjo, or Mikako, they are just apprentices who come to the dojo to learn kendo, and are not mistresses. In other words, if they really want to get serious, only Chiyoko has the right to urge Kazuo. Ma found a new apprentice to support his family.

So what are we going to eat later? The chairman repeated his question and looked at Nanjo and Mikako.

After we finish the meal with a simple meal, we also made an appointment at the family restaurant for a celebration party in the evening, right? Nanjo said.

He Ma listened to the girls discussing what to eat later, thinking that this peaceful daily feeling was not bad.

**

In the evening, 18:30.

Students from North Gurashi University have returned to school one after another and gathered on the playground.

Executives from the student union were making final inspections before lighting the bonfire, and disaster prevention personnel from the district office were providing guidance.

For the boys of Kitagashi High School, inviting the girl they like to dance folk dance is the meaning of this evening festival and even the entire cultural festival.

Because of this, the playground where the Houye Festival is about to be held is filled with the atmosphere of youth.

I'm sorry. Nanjo Honami bowed to the boy who came to invite her, I already have someone to dance with. You can hire someone else.

Yes, that's it. The boy who came to invite looked at Kiryu Kazuma behind Honami with a complicated expression, Sorry to bother you.

After saying that, he turned around and ran away.

Mikako said to Nanjo who turned around and came back: The fifth one today?

Yeah. It's a bit surprising that there are so many.

This should be the reason why you were elected to MISS North High School this afternoon. Mikako Fujii said.

If that's the reason, you should also be invited. Nanjo teased, You are also from MISS Hokugao.

I am Green Leaf.

Kazuma: You don't have to belittle yourself like this. At least I will invite you.

At the Beigao Cultural Festival two years ago, Kazuma invited Mikako to dance a folk dance. Kazuma was also very strange. He thought to himself that before he traveled through time and took over the body, the original owner had an affair with Mikako. It was really strange that they were not dating. Shouldn't the normal situation be fast forward to naming the child?

Fujii Mikako looked nostalgic: Last year, I was the only one who danced folk dance with you. It was obviously me first...

At this time, the chairman of the committee, who had rejected several girls who invited him to dance folk dances with him, also joined the conversation: Last year's Mr. Wuma is not worthy of being surrounded by our stars.

Well... you are right to say that. If you think about it carefully, Kazuma-kun never gave me the idea of ​​'ah, I want to fall in love with him'. I only regarded him as a good brother. Mikako looked up. Looking at the stars gradually appearing in the sky, I recalled, It feels like everything has changed since the sudden death of Kiryu's parents at the beginning of this year.

After that, Kazuma seemed like a completely different person.

Kazuma thought that he was a different person.

At this time, someone suddenly heard cheering in the distance, so everyone stopped chatting and looked together in the direction of the cheering.

Hinami Rina came out of the teaching building holding a torch.

It's like the Olympic torch relay.

Under the attention of everyone, she walked through the crowd on the playground and finally came to the firewood piled in a square shape.

She carefully lit the tinder at the bottom of the bonfire, then threw the torch to the top of the fire, then took several steps back to distance herself.

The bonfire burned fiercely in the autumn wind and soon became quite spectacular.

After Hinami Rina made sure that the bonfire was completely lit, he took the loudspeaker from the hands of the executive team members behind him and announced loudly: The Kitagaraji High School Cultural Festival, the Houye Festival has officially begun!

The music of folk dance resounded throughout the campus through the school's loudspeakers.

The boys and girls who had just finished matching on the playground looked at each other shyly, and then held hands.

Kazuma also stretched out his hand, grabbing Nanjo with one hand and Mikako with the other, and said, Let's go.

The chairman waved his hand: Dance happily.

In this way, this cultural festival that has become a legend came to an end with unexpected calm.

**

After the cultural festival, not only Kazuma's small group, but also the entire senior high school students devoted themselves to preparing for the exam.

I don’t know if it was affected by the fact that Kazuma Kiryu, a top student, was going to be admitted to Tokyo University. This year, a lot of fresh graduates from Hokugurashi High School chose to go to higher schools.

Moreover, the schools everyone chooses are all of a certain quality, giving people the feeling of even Kazuma chose Tokyo University, but it would be too embarrassing if I chose Pheasant School.

The teachers at the school also responded to the students and opened a bunch of small stoves for different schools.

The whole atmosphere of the senior year made Kazuma feel like he was preparing for the exam in his senior year of high school.

Especially the pile of reference books that everyone piles up on the desk, this feeling is too familiar. Unfortunately, Japan does not have the Five-Year College Entrance Examination and Three-Year Simulation, so it is still a bit lacking in taste.

At the dojo, the publicity effect brought about by the last incident is decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

On the first weekend after the cultural festival, there were only three people who came to visit the dojo on Saturday, and no one came at all on Sunday.

What can we do? Chiyoko complained loudly in front of Kazuma after seeing off the girls on Sunday. Not only did there not be any new students, but now we can't even make any money from the trainees. Tokyo There is still a big gap in the tuition fees for the first year of college. This does not include the money you will spend on buying new review materials later.

Hearing Chiyoko's complaint, Amao poked his head out of the guest room where he was staying and asked, How about I go work a few more jobs? This way I can pay back the money for my dad's ritual faster...

No, no, you have to be fast enough now. I have already included the money you paid back when I calculated it, so there is no impact on you. Chiyoko waved her hand, You can be careful not to get sick, and see a doctor if you do. That money can keep you busy for the past few months.”

I can do it. I feel that practicing kendo has improved my physical fitness a lot, and I feel that it can become tighter. Amao said and looked down at his hand, opening and clenching his fingers, and kept repeating This action seemed to confirm his newfound strength.

Kazuma looked at Amao and asked, Study over there, is it okay?

No problem. I feel that in a few months, I will be able to finish learning all the contents of junior high school. Amao blushed slightly, I'm sorry, Master, you are so busy, but you still need to teach me the knowledge of junior high school.

No, teaching you is also a kind of review. The chairman of the committee has agreed. He Ma said, We are ready to eat. Come here.

No, I'd better eat in the room by myself...

Come over if I tell you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense? Kazuma waved his hand impatiently.

Amao is still reluctant to eat at the table with the Kiryu family. He seems to feel that he is an outsider and it is not good to go to the dinner table like this.

But the master's order is absolute to the disciple, and he can only come here honestly.

While serving food to everyone, Chiyoko continued to mutter: I hope there will be a new apprentice next week. The dojo's monthly income is less than 100,000 yen now, so there is no way to save any money.

So if I do more work...

Amao, shut up. Chiyoko sounded like a sister talking to her brother.

Amao decisively shut up.

Kazuma reassured Chiyoko: Why don't you want to be a martial arts instructor for Taiei's new movie? The commission should be quite large, and maybe a few celebrities can come over to practice kendo.

It's best to do this. You also said before that Senior Sister La Rinan is here. Where is she?

He Ma stopped talking.

In this way, another week of peaceful but poor days passed.

On the first weekend in October - Japan does not have a long National Day holiday - on the first weekend in October, Kazuma and the girls were studying around the table in the dojo when they suddenly heard the doorbell ring.

Chiyoko's voice sounded in the corridor outside the dojo: Coming, coming.

Then there were the sound of her footsteps running to answer the door, and she could be heard saying as she ran, Our family doesn't want to subscribe to new newspapers, nor do we want to apply for a credit card.

Mikako whispered: There must be more encyclopedias selling these days. My mother has been persuaded by the salesman to buy two encyclopedias, saying they will help our family stay at the forefront of the times.

Ah, the encyclopedia sellers are here too. Kazuma responded. In fact, when mentioning the encyclopedia salesmen, Kazuma couldn't help but think of the Japanese godfather whom he had heard of in his previous life. He was entering the industry. Before starting the SQ business, I was a salesman selling encyclopedias.

Later, a Japanese drama called Naked Supervision was adapted based on his deeds.

Kazuma was thinking about it when he heard Chiyoko shouting from the entrance: Brother, come here!

Kazuma and the girls looked at each other, put down the half-finished test papers and stood up. They walked to the door in the direction of the corridor with a puzzled look on their faces, and looked along the corridor towards the entrance.

Then he saw Hinami Rina standing in the entrance hall. When she saw Kazuma, she bowed and demonstrated the existence of gravity.

I'm here, senior. Or should I call you master?
