Tokyo Martial Arts Story

Those who can be put into the abode by Mr. Kamijou are all high-quality goods. If you don’t want to borrow one of them, Yan Kai doesn’t need to ask Mr. Shangjou. He knows that Mr. Kamijou values ​​​​Yan Kai. The person in charge of the teahouse will offer anything in the teahouse.

Mr. Kamijou is not often in the teahouse. The person in charge of the teahouse is the manager of the teahouse. He manages everything in the teahouse except Yan Kai and the Abode.

"Lend me a hole flute." Yan Kai was not polite at all, and pointed directly to the hole flute on Mr. Kamijou's left.

The hole flute was not randomly hung on the wall, but placed on a shelf alone, and separated from other objects around it. This is also a treatment that only a small number of objects have among the objects in the jingshe. Obviously It is impossible to be treasured by Mr. Kamijou.

Mr. Kamijou's eyebrows trembled, as if he was a little bit pained, but he still said happily: "Yes, but I want to listen from the side."

Borrowing the hole flute is of course for playing, it can't be used as firewood, right?

"Of course, it's here."

Yan Kai directly took the flute and wiped it gently.

Mr. Kamijou was dissatisfied, he said angrily: "My babies have special maintenance every day, they are cleaner than your face!"

Yan Kai smiled awkwardly, and didn't reply, but picked it up and blew a few times casually.

The timbre of each musical instrument is slightly different, and even the same musical instrument will have a different timbre after a long time, so Yan Kai needs to know how the timbre of this pipe dongxiao is.

After a few tries, Yan Kai knew that Mr. Kamijou not only had special personnel to maintain these objects every day, but also the instruments in it should be tuned by a dedicated tuner. The timbre of this hole flute is very pure, which made Yan Kai very satisfied.

After the test, Yan Kai took out his mobile phone and put it in a good position, clicked on the recording, and finally started to play.

The deep and melodious sound of the flute echoed long and long, revealing a deep sadness, but it was also soul-stirring.

As Mr. Kamijou listened, he couldn't help recalling many past events, and irreparable regrets passed through his heart, which made this resolute old man feel a little bit of regret for the past. .

But at this moment, Xiao Sheng's pitch rose a lot, there was a glimmer of life in the depression, and after the grief, it ushered in the rebirth after the catastrophe!

At the end of the song, Mr. Kamijou's applause also followed, and he said with a lot of emotion: "It turns out that you are not only good at the piano, but also good at the flute. My flute is really not in vain."

"Mr. Kamijou, thank you." Yan Kai pressed save on the phone recording, and at the same time said politely and modestly, just one sentence, no more.

Mr. Kamijou understood Yan Kai's movements, and couldn't help but said: "Are you recording? It's too wasteful to record this song with a mobile phone. I have a music company under my name, and there is a professional recording studio there. You can go there and record it." , isn’t it ten times better than recording with a mobile phone here? You can also take this flute with you, as long as you give me a copy of the recording.”

"Thank you in advance for Mr. Kamijou's kindness, but I'm not free!" Yan Kai shook his head and said, after wiping it, he put the flute back on the original shelf.

Going to a professional recording studio to record, Yan Kai also thought about this kind of thing, but he still felt a little troublesome. He was very tight on time and couldn't spare it for the time being, so he could only make do with it.

Anyway, Yan Kai's computer technology is not weak, and the quality of the audio recorded by the mobile phone may not be poor after adjustment.

Mr. Kamijou wanted to vomit blood, this kid, how many times has he rejected his kindness?

Before, Mr. Kamijou also asked Yan Kai if he wanted to extend his part-time job. The part-time job fee was easy to negotiate and would not make him suffer, but Yan Kai refused, saying that he was not free.

Mr. Kamijou still doesn’t give up. Yan Kai’s working time in the teahouse is only from [-]:[-] to [-]:[-] p.m. every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. Wu's part-time job, let Yan Kai give up that part-time job and move his part-time job to his teahouse. This will not take up Yan Kai's other time, right?

But Yan Kai still refused, the reason is that the same part-time job will get boring all the time!

Look at how capricious this kid is!

At that time, Mr. Kamijou really wanted to trip Yan Kai up a bit and let him suffer some severe beatings from the society so as to teach him what is good and bad, but he finally gave up. After all, young people with such personality are rare, and he didn't want to. Knead Yan Kai into the same shape as others.

Moreover, he also suspected that a person with Yan Kai's superb musical quality would definitely not be a child of an ordinary family, and there was really no need to make innocent enemies for himself for a moment of anger.

In Japan, there are quite a few people who can seize the opportunity to take off after World War II and become extremely rich, but there are very few people who can withstand the financial crisis and go against the current economic trend of recession. Mr. Kamijou is one of them. One, he knows very well when to do whatever he wants and when to weigh the pros and cons.

After using the tool man... No, after asking Mr. Kamijou to help, Yan Kai saw that it was almost time, and began to prepare for the handover.

His job in the teahouse is a luthier, and his nature is no different from that of singing in teahouses in the Central Plains in ancient times, only a little more elegant.

Yan Kai walked slowly to the middle of the hall, sat down in front of a guqin, lit incense in the incense burner on the desk according to his own preference, played the piano lightly, and began to play.

The ethereal and lofty sound of the piano rose, and gradually, only a few people began to come in one after another from the teahouse. They were well-dressed and had an extraordinary bearing. They all looked like upper-class people, but their movements were very light. , very slowly, for fear of disturbing Yan Kai and affecting Yan Kai's performance.

Mr. Kamijou was already sitting upright in the best seat, with a cup of brewed tea in front of him, sipping lightly from time to time, but he also didn't dare to make a sound, with a peaceful and peaceful expression on his face, extremely relaxed.

Every time it is Yan Kai's turn to play, Mr. Kamijou must listen to it immediately, which is why Yan Kai is sure that the busy Mr. Kamijou will be at the Abode at that time, where he is waiting for Yan Kai playing time.

Chapter 20 Encounter

The elegant sound of the zither echoed in the teahouse, and at this moment, Saeko Busujima, who had just separated from Yan Kai, and a middle-aged man walked into the teahouse lightly, and took their seats slowly.

After taking his seat, the middle-aged man said to Busujima Saeko: "Junior Sister Saeko, Master said that killing intent cannot be accumulated, it must be properly vented, but venting alone is not enough, and some means are needed to calm the mind."

"When master was still in China, he would come to this teahouse to listen to qin tea when he had free time. I heard from master that the effect is not bad, so let me bring you here for a try. If the effect is good, you can come here often in the future. "

The middle-aged man exhorted Busujima Saeko, and at the same time handed a delicate card to Busujima Saeko.

"This teahouse is a membership system, but you recognize the card but not the person. This is Master's membership card. You can bring one person into the teahouse. I will leave it to you first," the middle-aged man explained to Saeko Busujima.

"Yes, Senior Brother Tanaka!" Saeko Busujima said politely to the middle-aged man.

This middle-aged man is the personal disciple of Saeko Busujima's father—Tanaka Ken. He is not only Saeko Busujima's father's direct disciple, but also Saeko Busujima's father's right-hand man. He is the most trusted person around Saeko Busujima's father. Important things, if Saeko Busujima's father doesn't have time to do them, he will do them.

For example, this time, Saeko Busujima sent the mysterious hand scroll of the Bujima-style swordsmanship. Apart from Ken Tanaka, Saeko Busujima's father would never rest assured that other people would pass on the mysterious hand scroll.

There is a big difference in age between Saeko Busujima and Ken Tanaka, almost 20 years old. Since Saeko Busujima can remember, Ken Tanaka has begun to be alone and is not often by Saeko Busujima's father.

It wasn't until Saeko Busujima's father went overseas in recent years that he was afraid that he would be too busy alone, so he deliberately brought the mature and steady Ken Tanaka as his assistant, and asked Ken Tanaka to take care of some chores for him.

So Saeko Busujima has respect for this senior brother, but she lacks intimacy.

In fact, most of the other disciples of Saeko Busujima and Saeko Busujima's father are like this. Except for the senior sister Gao Liuharu who is also female and has a smaller age gap with Saeko Busujima, the other disciples have not had much contact with Saeko Busujima.

However, since the teacher came from the same school, and they are all father's direct disciples, even if they are not familiar with each other, they can be trusted unconditionally.

In a genre with a long history and strict rules like the Busushima style, the friendship between brothers and sisters of the same school is sometimes even stronger than blood ties. Master must be willing to kill a disciple who is ineffective.

While the two were talking, the waiter in the teahouse had already served tea to them.

Tea is good tea, whether it is tea or spring water, or even the craftsmanship of the tea master who makes the tea, they are all the best choices. Mr. Kamijou is very willing to spend money on this aspect.

But neither Saeko Busujima nor Ken Tanaka paid attention to the tea, and just focused their attention on the continuous sound of the piano.

The waiter shook his head inwardly, since the Central Plains native surnamed Yan came, every time that Central Plains native played the piano, no one cared about the good tea, wasting the best tea-tasting time for nothing.

What's more, when Yan Kai's music was over, they thought about drinking tea, and they always muttered that the teahouse was too neglectful of them. They had to pay a sky-high membership fee every year, but they served them this kind of cold tea.

This feeling is more like being raped by a dog than fucking a dog, but it also makes the waiter angry and has no place to vent it. After all, he can't afford to offend either the guest or Yan Kai.

While listening to the sound of the piano, Takeshi Tanaka introduced to Saeko Busujima in a low voice: "I heard that this luthier is new here, and his piano skills are very unusual. Master has several friends who praised him very much after listening to his piano sound. , so I specifically asked you to push the club activities to come at this time, because he only plays the piano at this time, and only plays three days a week, and he is here on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays every week."

Saeko Busujima listened as hard as she could, but it was hard for her to take her mind off the sound of the piano. The soft sound of the piano was like a pair of tender little hands, pressing her spirit moderately, giving her soul a comfortable massage. It made her spirit feel unprecedentedly comfortable, and also brought her unprecedented tranquility.

For some reason, she thought of Yan Kai's comics again. Although Yan Kai's comics brought her joy rather than comfort, excitement rather than tranquility, they all had such a magical power that touched her heart .

It wasn't until the end of the song and the sound of the piano stopped that Saeko Busujima regained consciousness a little bit, picked up the teacup in front of her, and swallowed lightly.

Well, the tea is cold...

Fortunately, Saeko Busujima is a sensible person, she knew it was because she missed the time to drink tea, and she couldn't blame it for going to the teahouse.

After playing one piece, Yan Kai didn't rush to play the next one, but extinguished the unburned incense and replaced it with another kind of incense.

Different luthiers have different habits when playing the piano. Burning incense is inevitable, but some luthiers change the incense after the incense is burned out, while some luthiers change different incense according to different qin tunes, so as to fit the artistic conception of the qin tunes.

When Yan Kai played the piano, he belonged to this kind of person who is more chicken feet (described as troublesome and uneasy), and not only needs to burn different incense for playing different tunes, but also presses the incense into different shapes.

Of course, it is impossible for Yan Kai to admit that he has chicken feet. He calls this a sense of ritual, which is very stylish.

Saeko Busujima and Ken Tanaka came late, so they couldn't grab a good position, and only saw Yan Kai's back.

At first, Saeko Busujima's attention was focused on the sound of the piano, so she didn't see anything, but when Yan Kai stopped playing the piano and began to fiddle with the incense burner, Saeko Busujima saw a trace of familiarity in the back. .

Why... the more you look, the more you look like Mr. Kai?

Saeko Busujima shook her head, she felt that she had been thinking about how to imitate the duel of Yagyu Yijian recently, and lost her head, how could Yan Kai be here, he should be working part-time now.

And as the sound of the piano sounded again, the doubts in Saeko Busujima's heart could only be suppressed temporarily, and she listened quietly, letting the sound of the piano soothe her tired spirit.

The previous battle with Yan Kai, regardless of the short time, was more exhausting than the previous one-hour sparring every day, and his spirit became quite sluggish because he substituted himself into Liu Sheng's sword. Standing up in front of Yan Kai, pretending nothing happened.

If it wasn't for senior brother Tanaka's repeated requests, Saeko Busushima really wanted to go back to the gym at that time and lie on the bed and sleep on it for five or six hours.

But fortunately, I came here after listening to Senior Brother Tanaka's words. The sound of the piano was actually more refreshing than sleep. It made Saeko Busushima's state much better.

So many unprecedented...

Saeko Busujima said with emotion that recently, she seems to have experienced many differences and first times, and all of this seems to have started from getting to know Yan Kai.

Yan Kai's time is only two hours, and the regular customers know it, so some people came one after another during this time period, but by the time of halftime, the teahouse was full of seats, and those who came late could only shake their heads and leave with a wry smile .

Join the table?Those who don’t exist are all famous people, how can they share a table, and it’s okay to miss listening to the piano music once, but you can’t lose your style and face just because of listening to the piano music.

And the rules of the teahouse are not allowed to share tables.

This teahouse was originally opened for Mr. Kamijou's own entertainment, and later some like-minded friends came, and it was barely able to support it.

And those who can be friends with Mr. Kamijou are simple people, and they all have quite extraordinary net worth.

After knowing the existence of Mr. Kamijou's teahouse, many flies who like to be opportunistic and seek relationships began to gather around, trying to make friends with Mr. Kamijou and his friends.

Mr. Kamijou was so annoyed that he changed the teahouse into a membership system, and wiped out most of the flies, but there are still some big-headed flies with strong capital, and they have to pay high membership fees to get close to eating shit, oh no, It's about making friends with Mr. Kamijou and his friends.

As a last resort, Mr. Kamijou could only establish a few more rules.

One is that it is not allowed to share seats. This teahouse is mainly used for meeting friends. If you are not an appointment with friends, don't come here randomly.

The other is not to make loud noises. Mr. Kamijou opened this teahouse to create a quiet environment, which of course cannot be disrupted.

Once these two rules were established, those annoying flies were finally brushed away, and because of this unique style, it really attracted some guests who also wanted to be quiet, but the number has not been many, so this teahouse has always been It is a state of loss.

Of course, Mr. Kamijou doesn't care about these things. Isn't money just for losing?

Therefore, there are generally three types of guests in this teahouse, one is the like-minded friends of Mr. Kamijou, the other is idlers who want to be quiet in a busy area like Chiyoda, the wealthy idlers, and the third is the Central Plains culture. My friend, I like the decoration atmosphere of this teahouse, and I also feel that the style of this teahouse is worthy of their wealth, so I joined the membership.

People like Saeko Busujima's father are just an example and don't count in the classification.

Originally, Mr. Kamijou’s teahouse has been open in such an unremarkable way, with only a few customers sitting around at the same time, until Yan Kai came, played only a few times, and the reputation was completely spread out, making the members of the teahouse There was a wave of growth.

Of course, there was still no money, but Mr. Kamijou didn't care.

He asked Yan Kai for extra time before, but it was not for increasing the number of members, it was purely because he also liked listening to Yan Kai playing the piano.

Mr. Kamijou, rich and self-willed!

Time passed quickly, and Yan Kai realized that the time was almost up. After playing the last piece, he extinguished the incense, stood up and bowed slightly to Mr. Kamijou who was sitting in front of him, then waved his sleeves and left.

This action was added by Mr. Kamijou's request, to highlight a forceful style, Yan Kai doesn't care, so I did it, but I would complain in my heart from time to time, I am an old middle schooler.

When Yan Kai left sideways, Saeko Busujima, who had been watching Yan Kai's back, was taken aback suddenly, and quickly covered her mouth that was about to exclaim - it's too immodest to exclaim in public, and it can't be done.

Saeko Busujima, who had seen Yan Kai's side face without glasses covering her face, recognized at a glance that this highly skilled luthier was actually her junior from the same school, Yan Kai!
