[Comprehensive] Takasugi-kun's Melancholy

"How is it, that famous family that gathers the world's talents?" After dinner, Mrs. Mifune looked at Takasugi-kun with a half-smile while holding a bong. The words "gloating" were written all over her face. I already knew about the situation in the martial arts school, so I just waited to see Takasugi-kun's jokes.

"As expected," Takasugi-kun didn't respond to the other party's provocation, or he never paid attention to it, Takasugi-kun always had such a calm and restrained look in front of Mrs. Mifune, "but there were also unexpected surprises. He paused and continued, "I met a friend I haven't seen for a long time."

"Friend?" Mrs. Mifune was a little surprised when she heard this word, "You have that kind of thing too." She then asked, "A friend of the same age, or that Songyang who has been keeping in touch with you."

Although the relationship between Takasugi-kun and Mrs. Mifune does not seem to be very harmonious, in fact, the two of them have a wide range of conversations on weekdays. The two of them have nothing to hide from each other. Occasionally, when Mrs. Mifune is in a good mood Talk to Takasugi-kun about his childhood experience, and Songyang also appeared in their conversation as a rare man who can let Takasugi-kun say it with admiration.

"All of them," Takasugi-kun raised his teacup and took a sip, "He opened the Matsushita private school that has become very famous recently."

"It turned out to be him." Mrs. Mifune took another puff of cigarette, "That guy is very famous recently. It is said that he opened a private school and taught the children of poor families to learn calligraphy without any fees. He sounds like an interesting guy. .”

"I'm planning to find time to visit the Matsushita private school." Takasugi-kun showed an inexplicable smile, "There is a very interesting guy there."

Mrs. Sanchuan glanced at him, and sighed: "So you can still have such a normal expression, I thought you would keep a straight face all day long like an old man."

"It's better than being disrespectful all day long." Takasugi-kun complained expressionlessly.

"Who do you say is old, you little brat!" Upon hearing Takasugi-kun's words, Mrs. Mifune made a cross on her forehead, and her cigarette rod hit Takasugi-kun's head mercilessly, "I'm still very young!" Young!"

Are you young... Takasugi-kun covered his swollen forehead and rolled his eyes. Mrs. Mifune, who has a 30-year-old child, is definitely the word young Can't hang it up, that word belongs to the little girl who hasn't left the cabinet.

"Forget it, forget it," Mrs. Sanchuan waved her hand, as if chasing flies, "Go and play if you want to, I don't mind if you worship under the Songyang Gate, anyway, you choose the road yourself. "

"Then let me leave, mother." After hearing the desired answer, Gao Sugi-kun simply didn't want to stay here for a moment, and until now he couldn't deal with this woman who couldn't be deduced by common sense.

The Matsushita private school is not far from the martial arts school, and it only takes about ten minutes to run there. He found a free time the next day and just slipped over there without even taking Gui with him.

The private school in Songyang is completely different from the loose environment of the martial arts gym. The lectures start at about 8:[-] a.m., ranging from the simplest handwriting to the science and technology of heaven and man, but the lecturer is only Songyang from the beginning to the end. That's all, when Takasugi-kun arrived, Songyang was talking about the technology of heaven and man.

Without making a sound, he walked into the classroom quietly by himself, and sat down in the last row silently, barely disturbing anyone.

Takasugi-kun looked around, the environment of the classroom is not bad, there are all the desks and chairs, and there is even a quite large dojo behind the classroom, traveling around the country for so many years, Songyang has accumulated a lot of money after all. A small fortune is more than enough to build a classroom.

The students in the classroom are not as neat as the desks and chairs. They are of different ages. The young ones are about 5 or 6 years old, while the older ones are about 15 or 6 years old. The tall and short are crowded together. , which looks confusing.

But no matter what, these people have very similar expressions when they are in class. Gao Sugi-kun judged that those people's faces are full of admiration for knowledge and dedication to learning.

However, except for one person, when Takasugi-kun glanced at Gin who was sleeping soundly by the window, this guy probably didn't listen to a word, right?

After looking around for four weeks, Takasugi-kun finally focused on Songyang's teaching content. Unlike the lecturers in the martial arts gym who focus on theory, Songyang, who has traveled around in person, pays more attention to practice. He can combine the skills of heaven and man The application examples in daily life are eloquent, and he even has a lot of research on the customs and customs of various planets. According to him, he once traveled to the hometown of Tianren by smuggling in his early years. Repatriated after discovery, but it was enough for him to broaden his horizons.

Although the lecture was gentle and gentle, Takasugi-kun still felt a little familiar with that style of speaking. Listening to Songyang's analysis of heaven and man, Takasugi-kun touched his chin involuntarily. It means to use the technology of heaven and man to make the country strong, but at the same time he maintains the pride of a samurai-he is full of hope for the future of the children here, and he is also full of confidence in the future of the samurai.

This kind of self-confidence is really the same as that of Mrs. Mifune who claims to be the "Princess of the Samurai Country".

Proud to be a samurai?Takasugi-kun tilted his head. He somewhat understood why Mrs. Mifune valued their family's blood so much. The Mifune family was a samurai among samurai, and their clan represented the pride of samurai handed down from ancient times.

Time passed quickly in Songyang’s vivid explanations, and the whole morning was fleeting. When he stopped teaching, Takasugi-kun was even immersed in the other party’s description. Of course, students like him are rare , although it is not that he discriminates against children from poor families, but due to the limitations of their birth, those children will not be able to understand what a precious wealth Professor Songyang is all their lives, but Takasugi-kun is different, not to mention his mature soul, The years of study at Mifune’s family have allowed him to see many scenery that was unimaginable at the time. If Mrs. Mifune taught him the pride he should have as a samurai, today’s narration by Songyang opened a new door for him. the gate.

His free-spirited, calm and joyful Bushido spirit is contained in his explanations bit by bit. Through his experience of visiting various countries, we can see the process of a samurai's growth and the process of pursuing his own morality.

Takasugi-kun exhaled a turbid breath, he seemed to have realized something from the other party's inclusive mind, maybe it was his Bushido that he had been looking for.

"Today is really troublesome for you, Mr. Songyang." Gao Shanjun fell on the ground and gave Songyang a deep salute, which was just his high respect for the powerful warrior.

Songyang was not as fearful as the others, on the contrary, he accepted the gift from Takasugi-kun quite calmly: "How do you feel?" He asked with a smile, "Seeing Takasugi-kun's appearance, I always feel that you should have an epiphany before. It is."

"Indeed," Takasugi-kun said solemnly, "I feel something very useful, maybe I can find my Bushido."

"Don't be so anxious," Songyang stood up, walked to the corner of the room and opened the paper door, he seemed to be watching the unopened cherry tree in the courtyard, "Bushido is not something that is eager to pursue, And his definition is not as narrow as one might think."

"Then what is a samurai to me?" Takasugi-kun asked calmly.

"What do you think is a samurai?" Songyang didn't answer Takasugi-kun's question directly. Instead, he kicked the ball back to him.

"Is there a country that needs to be protected, a monarch that can be loyal?" Takasugi-kun answered tentatively, and then laughed, "I'm afraid it's more than that?" He paused and continued, "That woman once told me that as long as there is A samurai is one who is able to carry out his beliefs and wield his sword for what he protects."

Song Yang heard Takasugi-kun's answer, and clapped his hands appreciatively: "That's very good, then I will tell you what Bushido is in my heart." He put down his hands, turned his back and seemed to be looking into the distance, "The so-called Bushido is the self-discipline of the weak self and the strong will to make oneself better, and the ability to fight for one's own good will is worthy of the title of samurai."

The answers of Yoshida Matsuyo and Mrs. Mifune seem different but are inextricably linked, but there is no doubt that their understanding of bushido is based on their own will, not instilled by others.

"Don't rush to find your own Bushido, Takasugi-kun." He turned to look at Takasugi-kun, "As long as you keep your original intention of pursuing Bushido, you will eventually find your own path."

"As long as you have your own samurai in your heart, you can become a samurai in your own heart."
