I Teach Kendo in Tokyo
v4 Chapter 2: In front of the red gate
Chapter 291
Kazuma drove the car of the Jinguji family to the front of Akamon, and then discovered that this place is already full of seniors who have come to recruit new students into the society.
The senior who held the sign "Law freshmen who are going to visit the campus come here to gather" almost was submerged in the crowd.
Kazuma is not in a hurry to gather, and see what clubs are recruiting people one by one.
He is particularly interested in the tennis club, because there are several good-looking seniors.
Of course, his main purpose is not to seniors. The Japanese side pays special attention to the network established during university. This is not the same as the Chinese universities that Kazuma had read in the previous life.
The experience of Kazuma in the previous life is that after graduation, I have my own skills. The basic function of the alumni association is to go to KTV to sing and sing and reminisce about the four years of classmate life.
On the Japanese side, the alumni association is a stepping stone for those who step into the upper echelon from the flat-headed ordinary class below.
Therefore, it is best to fully participate in various club activities when studying in a university in Japan. Not only will you get extra points when you just leave the social interview, but you can also enter the upper echelon of Japan through the network of alumni.
Kazuma took the leaflet of the tennis club from a schoolgirl, and looked at the time for the tennis club to experience the activities of the club.
As soon as he noted the time, the flyer was taken away by Jinguji: "Tennis, are you interested in tennis?"
Kazuma: "I..."
In fact, I'm not interested, but if you say that you are not interested in tennis at this time, don't you make people mistakenly think that you are running into the tennis skirt and white legs of the tennis club?
"I'm a little interested." Kazuma said.
"Then I'll go to the ministry to experience it later." Jingong Temple put the flyers into his own bag.
Suddenly a senior stood in front of the two of them and said to Jinguji: "This classmate, you just took the flyer from the tennis club, so this year's freshman, right?"
Jinguji nodded.
"Then do you have any interest in Japanese dance? We are the Japanese Dance Research Association. Dancing in Japanese dance can help you cultivate your body and make yourself more..."
"Sorry, I have been dancing Japanese dance for three hundred years. I'm tired of it, and I don't want to continue dancing anymore."
The senior was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Jingong Temple with a strange expression: "Then...then bother."
Then the senior turned around and slipped away.
Kazuma: "You have done Japanese dance for three hundred years?"
"It's set. You see how fast the seniors run, ordinary people will instinctively stay away from mavericks." Jinguji said, "In addition, my family will let me go to some shrines to work as a guest maiden on important festivals, so I also I have been trained in Japanese dance since I was a child. I think I can directly be their instructor when I go to the Japanese Dance Research Association."
Jinguji's explanation is as impeccable and convincing as ever.
Kazuma then changed the subject: "Don't you have any interested clubs?"
"If there is a spiritual department, I would rather go." Jingong Temple said, glanced at the newly born seniors, "but I didn't see the brand of the spiritual department."
At this time, a senpai who also wears glasses stopped Kazuma and Jinguji.
"Well, are you interested in literature?" The elder sister is very short. If she didn't hold the flyer like other predecessors, Kazuma would think this was a passing child.
Well, there won't be any children in front of Akamon in Bunkyo Ward at work. But this elder sister is really too short, Kazuma suspects that she can't touch the top of her head with her feet and hands stretched out.
Seeing Kazuma and Jinguji didn't reply, the senpai repeated her question: "Are you interested in literature?"
This time her voice was a lot louder. I don't know why, Kazuma suddenly felt that the voice of this senior sister was very similar to that of the blue.
This height and this voice made Kazuma want to bully the younger sister, so Kazuma said: "Little sister, are you here to help your brother and sister distribute flyers?"
"I'm a college student!" Xiao Budian was angry, and she took out her student ID and shook it to Kazuma.
"Ah, you are actually a senior sister. Are you always ready to explain your misunderstanding to others with your student ID?"
"Yeah, can't it? So are you interested in literature?"
Kazuma hasn’t answered yet. From the side, a tall senior came out, smiling and saying to Xiao Budian senior: "Ganzhong, is he being a primary school student again?"
Gan Zhong is probably the surname of this little schoolgirl.
Little Senior Sister frowned and glared at the big senior: "I want you to take care of it!"
"You can also see the target clearly when you pull people, this buddy looks like this, and this bottom plate, this muscle..."
The head of the high school came up and squeezed the arm of Kazuma very familiarly: "This person is definitely a judo practitioner. He is a member of our judo club!"
Kazuma said with an apologetic look: "No, I have never practiced judo. I am a kendo teacher Kiryuu Kazuma."
When the tall senior heard the name of Kazuma, he immediately let go and took a step back, looked up and down Kazuma and said, "Wow, you are the Kiryuu Kazuma? You really passed the exam. Our school is now? I haven't seen the report. I also bought the latest issue of the weekly magazine Fang Chun to see if you have passed the exam. There is no news at all!"
Xiao Budian-senpai also exclaimed: "Are you the Kiryuu Kazuma?"
"Yes, I am."
"Then you must be very interested in literature." Xiao Budian made a judgment at an astonishing speed, took a leaflet, and snapped it on the belly of Kazuma.
She wanted to pat her chest with the expression at first, then gave up and patted her stomach.
"No, why do you assert that I am interested in literature?"
"Poetry and music are interlinked! Poetry is part of literature!"
Kazuma scratched his head: "This...well, but why don't you come and pull this one next to me?"
Xiao Budian-senpai glanced at Jingong Temple and said, “I’m not sure if she’s tired of writing haiku for 300 years.”
Kazuma was very happy, and immediately had a good impression of the school sister’s club, so he took the flyer and took a look.
He originally thought it was a leaflet for a society such as the Literature Club, but it was not the case.
The name of the society on this flyer is: New Weird Talk Research Association.
Kazuma The mouth opens into an O shape.
The so-called new strange talk refers to the modern strange talk of the SCP type. A notable feature is that the strange talk is presented in the form of scientific research, combining science fiction and fantasy, and it is basically placed in an advanced and modern urban context.
The "new" of the new strange story is mainly relative to the "traditional modern strange story" of the Cthulhu myth created by Lovecraft.
In the impression of Kazuma, new strange talks have arisen, which is all after the new millennium. Now I got the flyer for the New Weird Talk Research Association, and this incident itself has a new Weird Talk style.
At this time, the elder sister stared suspiciously at the flyers in Kazuma, and then enthusiastically explained: "The so-called new ghost stories are different from traditional ghost stories and urban legends. What are the gaps in traditional ghost stories? Girl, the seven incredible things of the Academy, and what we are studying is the Cthulhu strange story created by Lovecraft!"
As soon as the elder sister said, Kazuma understood, the original concepts of new and old are always changing. For Japanese in the 1980s, Lovecraft's works are "new strange talk".
In another twenty years, the myth of Cthulhu will become part of the "traditional strange story", and people in the future will brew new strange stories like SCP.
Kazuma was about to respond to the little sister-in-law, and the flyer in her hand was taken away by Jinguji.
"Lovecraft? Cthulhu? What kind of strange story is that?" Jingong Temple asked suspiciously.
Kazuma knows, but he must pretend not to know.
Jinguji has been with him for the past year, and she has been able to come and go freely in the Kiryu Dojo. She probably knew that Kazuma had never had a chance to come into contact with the myth of Cthulhu before.
After all, Kiryu Dojo does not have a strange story about the Cthulhu mythology system, and there is no time for Kazuma to be borrowed at the municipal library.
Sister Xiaodian is interested in seeing Jingong Temple, and immediately beckoned and shouted to the back: "Hey, here are two interested people!"
Grab?
Immediately two other seniors ran over with their bags.
The leading flat-headed senior was dumbfounded when he saw Kazuma and Jingongji. He pulled past the little girl and whispered, "Hey, is there any mistake? This kind of sports man plus super beautiful girl The combination, why would you join an association like ours? Forget it, instead of getting bored when they come..."
"You give the book to someone! Maybe they can really like it?" Senior Sister Gan grabbed the bag from the flat-headed senior, took out a thick book, and stuffed it to Jingong Temple.
Because Jingongji is shorter than Kazuma, this time the little girl doesn't need to pat the book on Jinguji's belly, but directly on her chest.
Kazuma glanced at the cover and found that it was in English, and it was translated as "Crazy Mountains". It was one of Lovecraft’s works. During the expedition in the polar regions, a group of scientists found an ancient civilization beyond human understanding. And the story of the indescribable.
Jingongji took the book, glanced at the cover, and said with a smile: "Okay, I will read it. Where can I return it to the senior sister after reading it?"
"The flyer contains the address of our New Weird Talk Research Association, so it’s fine to send it. I’m Kan Zhong Meiyu, the third-year law school, and the president of the New Weird Talk Research Association!”
Speaking of the word president, Xiao Budian tried her best to straighten her chest, which reminded Kazuma of the lyrics of a song in her previous life: put on a handsome suit and comb her hair like an adult.
The flat-headed senior behind Gan Zhong Meiyu looked sorry: "You don’t need to force it, there are so many clubs in Dongda, you can read each club, and then consider it slowly. Our club’s usual activities are very boring, even better than comics. The seminar is still boring..."
"Why do you want to gain others' power and prestige and destroy your own spirit!" Gan Zhong Meiyu protested very loudly.
Kazuma is actually a little interested in this new strange talk research conference, because I think about it through this year, and I have seen a lot of unthinkable things. Joining this research group may help Kazuma Discover the truth of this world.
However, discovering the truth in the world is generally accompanied by great danger.
Having traveled to the present, he finally got rid of the danger of being accompanied by the shadows, and can live a stable life, and he prefers to finish college safely and join the Metropolitan Police Department.
He didn't want to explore villages with weird customs in the mountains, nor did he want to drive a boat to hit a big octopus.
So he politely said to Xiao Budian senior: "We will consider it carefully."
"Huh? Just consider it carefully?"
"Yeah, after all, we still don't know what the new strange story is," Kazuma started to lie directly, "you have to read the senior sister and borrow our book to determine whether you are interested. The melon is not sweet. ?"
The little sister pouted, looking like a awkward little girl.
It is said that even if girls do not deliberately learn how to be green tea, they will instinctively master their appearance.
Such a small and cute girl is born to pretend to be pitiful-no, since she is born, then she is not pretending to be pretending, it is the instinct of others.
Kazuma is a bit embarrassing, I always feel that if I don't give a clear answer, this little sister will not let it go.
At this time, a tall and handsome young man pushed away the judo club senior who had been standing next to Kazuma, and said to Kazuma: "I found you! Kiryuu Kazuma!"
Kazuma just doesn't care about anything, first move your feet apart and take a pony step.
What if it comes to a fight?
Looking at the opponent again, the long hair of the visual department was like playing the team, and Kazuma immediately understood something in my heart.
"I'm from the Rock and Roll Research Institute of the University of Tokyo!" The visual faculty drew his long hair from his forehead, and revealed his hidden eyes, "You must come to us to learn! The band we learned is super strong! "
Kazuma refused in seconds: "Sorry, I don't want to play music."
As soon as the voice fell, an unfamiliar voice interface immediately said: "Yes, of course he is going to join our University of Tokyo Kendo Club!"
Kazuma just planned to follow the prestige to see what the speaker looks like, another voice entered the game: "Fart, Kiryu-kun’s ambition is to enter the Metropolitan Police Department, of course, to join our Detective Club! Simulated investigations will be held every week, and there will be discussions on outstanding cases that are still under the investigation period disclosed by the Metropolitan Police Department! Many seniors of this association joined the Metropolitan Police Department after graduation, and they are also great for their future careers. Helpful!"
Before Kazuma could see clearly what the detective who was suddenly killed was like, more voices joined the conversation.
"Student Kiryu! The Film Research Society needs you!"
"If you want to be a policeman, the Fighting Fans Association is the first choice!"
"Please come to the shooting club to tell us about the experience of using UZI submachine guns!"
"Your Excellency Kiryu, please be sure to come to our ninjutsu fan club kusaru (this is an ancient fetish)!"
It seems that when I was talking to Kanzhong Miyu-senpai just now, the news that Kiryuu Kazuma) was admitted to Dongda" had spread, and all the fellow clubs flocked to attract people.
Kazuma looked around and found that I and Jingong Temple had been surrounded by three floors inside and outside three floors.
"Hey!" Gan Zhong Meiyu was squeezed out of the field of view of Kazuma, still raising his hands and shouting, "Don't grab my junior! He has decided to go..."
"What, Ganzhong, you are here."
"Ganzhong, remember to stand on the box before speaking next time, otherwise we can't see where you are at all!"
Gan Zhong Meiyu is accustomed to being ridiculed by everyone's height, and continues to fight for reason: "He has promised to consider our meeting first! You will all come a little later, when he refuses to join our meeting, you won't be too late to grab it!"
"Oh, Ganzhong, your new weird talks are inherently difficult to understand, and most of your works have not been translated, and the key English itself is a bit strange."
Kazuma couldn't help but agree with this senior-although the scene is chaotic now Kazuma is not sure which senior said this.
In the last life, he had read the English version of "The Myth of Cthulhu" and Lovecraft's English in order to pretend to be coercive. Even he, a non-native English speaker, found it a bit difficult to say a word.
Kazuma is a senior business representative of a foreign trade company, who relies on English for his food-although he studied computer at university.
Senior Sister Gan Zhong Meiyu snorted unconvincedly: "What do you know! The new strange story will definitely stand on the ground."
At this time, Jinguji whispered in the ear of Kazuma: "We have to visit the school. We have to go over there and gather."
So Kazuma cleared his throat and interrupted the quarrel between the seniors and sisters: "Well, thank you all for your kindness, but today I have to visit the school..."
"I'll take you there! I also belong to the Faculty of Law." The senior said immediately.
Gan Zhong Meiyu immediately yelled: "I'm here first! Kiryu, I will take you to visit! I have not missed a class for three years in university, and I can also introduce you to the characteristics of each professor.
"If you have anything you don't understand, you can ask me, and I will tell you kindly!"
As soon as she finished speaking, some seniors immediately wanted to object, but she held back: "Are you missing classes less than me? Are you more familiar with professors than me?"
Then all the opponents shut up.
Kazuma looked down at Senior Sister Kanzhong Miwa, a little surprised that she could shut up all the seniors.
The elder sister raised her head and looked at Kazuma, patted her chest and said, "Look, I am the best person to take you around the school. If you walk with me, you don't have to visit with the brigade."
Kazuma glanced at Jingongji, who shrugged.
It seems that she doesn't have any special requirements for who takes to visit the school.
So Kazuma said: "Then please ask Senpai."
"Okay!" Gan Zhong Meiyu turned around, chasing other fellow club members like flies, "Go away and go away! Don't get in the way!"
The other members of the gang actually gave way.
Kazuma suddenly thought, shouldn't the other seniors and sisters who seem to laugh at the height of the middle school sister Gan, in fact, are quite spoiled?
It's like everyone in Kiryu Dojo bullies Mikako, but in fact they love Mikako.
Leaving the crowd, Kazuma glanced at the seniors who were about to lead the freshmen of the law school, and found that the seniors already knew who they were. The seniors holding the assembled sign squeezed their eyes at Kazuma, and it seemed to be I don't intend to prevent Kazuma from following Gan Middle School Sister to visit the campus.
Gan Zhong Meiyu took the lead and walked in the forefront. She was in a good mood, and she felt a little excited at all the steps, which made her more like a child.
"The road we are walking now is the famous product of the University of Tokyo. In autumn, the ginkgo leaves on both sides are all yellow and look very beautiful, but the ginkgo will have an indescribable taste in autumn, so the old students of Dongda University will be in the autumn. Will try to avoid this road." The senior sister started to explain as she walked.
"By the way, the number of cars within the campus will be reduced a lot, but after all, the campus is not fully enclosed, so you should be careful about the cars.
Regarding the kind reminder of the senior sister, Kazuma felt that it was a complaint and lost.
Where is the kindergarten teacher taking the children to the street?
"The front is the Yasuda lecture hall! But it is generally not open now, and it is mainly used as a warehouse for the Faculty of Law. I have been here for the third year, and I went in once. Also, there are several professors at the school giving lectures to Yasuda. I'm very concerned, don't talk to them about what happened ten years ago."
Kazuma nodded, pretending to be ignorant.
In fact, he might have guessed that these professors probably had a proud pupil ten years ago.
Senior Sister Gan Zhong Mei Yu continued to lead Kazuma to visit the campus with Jingu Temple.
Jinguji suddenly approached Kazuma and whispered in his ear: "Do you think this scene is like a young couple taking their children on an outing?"
Kazuma frowned slightly, and then realized that it really looked alike.
Senior Sister Kanzhong Miwa did not hear the biting of the ears of the two at all, and continued to introduce the various buildings of the Toda Hongo campus with great interest.
**
After more than an hour, Kanzhong Miyu finally took Kazuma with Jinguji, and took about a circle around the Todai Hongo campus.
Then Xiao Budian asked very enthusiastically: "You still want to buy textbooks? I take you to the school bookstore?"
Kazuma was about to answer, Jinguji said: "Ah, this is not necessary, we will go to the second-hand bookstore later."
"That's it." Xiao Budian said with an expression of "I understand", "It's good to use old books. In fact, quite a lot of people use old books. After all, the people who don’t have much money left after paying the tuition and building the house are still Majority. Has your house been rented?"
Kazuma: "Uh...I am from Tokyo."
When the little sister heard it, she was obviously discouraged: "I am going to school...I thought we might be neighbors."
Kazuma asked, "Is the senior sister renting a house?"
"Of course, my hometown is in Aomori."
"Aomori?" In Kazuma, the impression of Xiao Budian-senpai in my mind is different. After all, Aomori gives the impression of a backward country—in fact, it is indeed a backward country.
So Kazuma's impression of this elder sister became a golden phoenix flying out of the ravine, a poor lady.
Unexpectedly, Gan Zhong Meiyu continued to say: "My family raises horses in Aomori. The ‘Longtan Mouse’ that won the horse racing championship last month was raised by my family."
The image of the poor lady in the mind of Kazuma was shattered and replaced with the landlord's daughter.
No, it's just that horse farmers don't necessarily have money, just as code farmers are also ranked.
So Kazuma asked: "Senior sister's house, is it...very rich?"
"Um... so so. People in Tokyo look down on us anyway. When I first came to Tokyo, I had a strong Aomori accent, and many people laughed at me."
At this time Jinguji said: "A few hundred years ago, the Tokyo accent was laughed at when it arrived in Kyoto, but now it has become an orthodox pronunciation, which is interesting and interesting."
Gan Zhong Meiyu looked at Jingong Temple in doubt: "Are you from Kansai?"
"No, I'm a native of Tokyo," Jinguji replied.
"Huh?" Xiaobudian-senpai looked suspicious.
Jingongji asked the senior sister: "Where does the senior sister rent the house?"
"Of course I rented it on the Kanda River. Although my family can afford the rent in Bunkyo Ward, I really like the song and movie "Kanda River", so I rented it there."
Speaking, senpai hummed a couple of lyrics from "Kandagawa".
Then Kazuma realized that this senior sister might be a little lacking in tone.
After singing, the senior sister raised her hand and looked at her watch: "Well, if you are going to buy books, you should go to lunch now. Do you want me to recommend a store?"
Kazuma asks: "Senior sister, won't you come together? In order to thank her for leading the way, I plan to invite her to have a meal."
Today, Kazuma puts an extra 3,000 yen in Chiyoko's wallet, so now Kazuma feels that his wings are hard, so it’s okay to ask the senpai for a meal.
Gan Zhong Meiyu looked at the Jingong Temple and smiled: "Forget it, don't disturb the date of the two of you. Go back and remember to read the book I gave you! It is a masterpiece that you will never regret after reading it! Then, bye! "
Senior Sister Gan Zhong Meiyu finished speaking, turned around and walked away lightly.
Kazuma: "What an energetic senior."
"Yes, UU reads www.uukanshu.com and it's also cute." Jinguji Tamamo said, and don't glance at Kazuma deeply, Kazuma pretended not to notice her eyes.
Jingongji continued: "The New Weird Talk Research Association, it feels like a fellowship meeting of the same nature as the Spiritual Department."
"Do you want to go?" Kazuma asked somewhat surprised.
"I'll go back and take a look at this book before deciding. Crazy Mountain... feels like a story about a mountain god?"
Kazuma: "... Maybe."
He almost forgot that his setting was that he had never touched Lovecraft's work, but fortunately, he finally remembered it.
"Let’s go, find a place to eat first. Didn’t Chiyoko ask you to confirm the cheap restaurant first, let’s go find it together." Jinguji temporarily left behind the new strange talk seminar, and said to Kazuma Said.
"Well, I happen to be hungry too." Kazuma nodded.
