Time quickly advanced to the day of departure for the school trip.
In the morning, He Ma took his sister's packed salute and just left the house when he saw Butler Suzuki and Nanjo standing at the door together.
"It's really rare," Kazuma looked at Butler Suzuki, "Since the incident with the Koreans until now, this is the first time we have met, Grandpa Suzuki."
"Miss didn't tell you?" Butler Suzuki looked puzzled and turned to look at Honami Nanjo.
"I told you that during our school trip, reliable SP personnel from Nanjo's family will be stationed in the dojo, and Chiyoko will be sent to school."
Nanjo had a rare mischievous expression on his face.
"Indeed, I am the most reliable SP of the Nanjo family." Butler Suzuki took over the conversation, "Miss's statement is not a problem."
He Ma spread his hands together: "Butler Suzuki personally came to protect my sister, so I'm naturally extremely relieved. But is everything at home okay?"
"The security level of Yuechuan girls is quite high, so I can handle things at home while Ms. Kiryu is in school, so don't worry." Suzuki Butler said.
"Then I'll leave it to you." Kazuma bowed to Butler Suzuki.
"Don't worry, Ms. Kiryu, please get in the car." Butler Suzuki opened the door.
Kazuma and the others went directly to the station to board the Shinkansen today, and the meeting point was in front of the station, so they couldn't go to school with Chiyoko.
Chiyoko got into the car and waved to Kazuma: "Brother, have a good trip and have fun."
"Relax."
Just as he was talking, the chairman of the committee appeared strolling in the courtyard.
Kazuma: "Mikako is late again..."
As soon as the words fell, Mikako's car appeared.
Mikako's mother Fujii Keiko showed amazing driving skills, performing a wave of drift in front of the Kiryu Dojo, and made the car stop steadily at the gate of the Dojo.
Mikako jumped out of the car energetically: "Hi everyone!"
Nanjo: "The dark circles under my eyes are so heavy, are you okay?"
"No problem, no problem. I was so excited yesterday that I couldn't sleep. As a result, I almost didn't wake up this morning."
Mikako yawned hugely as she spoke.
Her mother got out of the car, hung the bulging sports bag around her neck, and complained at the same time: "This morning, I took a frying pan and banged it in her ear for a long time, which can be regarded as blowing her up.
"Hey, why can't this girl grow up? She spends every day with Miss Nanjo and Miss Jinguji, why didn't she learn some of the spirit of a young lady?"
"Actually, I didn't sleep well yesterday." Nanjo said with a smile, "I can't see eye circles because I used concealer."
Mikako stared at Nanjo's face for a few seconds: "Really? Why do I think you have no cover at all?"
"It's covered." Nanjo said firmly.
In fact, Kazuma also felt that Nanjo didn't wear makeup, but now that she emphasized it like this, Kazuma pretended to be confused.
Butler Suzuki interrupted everyone: "Then I will take a step first."
"Well, goodbye." Nanjo responded on behalf of everyone.
So Butler Suzuki rolled up the windows, started the engine, and drove Chiyoko to school.
"Hey, didn't you take Miss Nanjo's car to the station?" Keiko Fujii asked suspiciously.
"Mom, how hard it is to go to Tokyo Station by car at this time," Fujii Mikako complained, "I will definitely be stuck on the road. Let's take the subway there."
"That's right." Keiko Fujii nodded, "Then I won't delay you."
"Mom, go play cards, go quickly." Mikako waved her hand like chasing flies.
"Why are you talking to mom?" Fujii Keiko complained, her body was very agile, she got into the car and closed the door to pull on her seat belt in one go. No chance to play."
The school trip is the last group activity in high school. Students who do not want to go on to higher education should think about finding a job after the school trip is over, and the group of He Ma and the others who are going to go to school must go all out to prepare for the exam.
Leaving her final instructions, Keiko Fujii drove away, and Mikako sighed: "I'm finally leaving. My mother has been super nagging since yesterday, teaching me how to use condoms, and this and that."
"Is the condom... that condom?" Hema couldn't help asking.
"Yeah, that's the one." Mikako unzipped the sports bag, and pulled out a row of ready-to-use covers from the stuffed snacks in the bag, "Mom stuffed so much for me."
Nanjo: "If I remember correctly, check the backpack before getting in the car."
"Yes," said the chairman, "the main purpose is to check whether anyone has secretly brought cigarettes and alcohol over there, but if this thing is seen, it will definitely be confiscated. Moreover, the unpacking and inspection will be carried out in public. All grades will know Mikako that you brought so many of these things on a school trip."
Mikako looked at the things in her hands: "Wow, that's terrible, my reputation will be completely ruined."
After finishing speaking, she stuffed things to Hema: "Come here, it doesn't matter if you bring it, even if you are caught by the teacher, everyone will only think you are energetic."
Kazuma looked at the things that Mikako gave him, and muttered: "This is too much, the school trip is three days, and you use five a day? You can bear it, but I can't bear it."
"How do I know what's wrong with my mother." Mikako spread her hands.
At this time, Amora, Kazuma's apprentice, opened the door of Kiryu's house and came out.
After delivering the newspaper in the morning, Amao would go home and sleep for a while before going to school, every day.
He looked at the thing in Hema's hand suspiciously.
"Master, are you going to use up half a month's supply in three days?"
"No." Hema tore off three pockets and threw the rest to A Mao, "I'll send you off."
"It's useless for me to take this." Amao said, "Forget it, I'll put it in the house for you."
Amao changed the topic: "Master, Senior Sister, I wish you a good time."
Kazuma nodded: "Well. Then we are leaving, you have to be careful. Although the Suzuki housekeeper of the Nanjo family will provide protection when I am not in Tokyo, but if something unexpected happens, it is up to you Save Chiyoko. Do you remember the phone number I told you?"
Ah Mao nodded: "Remember, I can find any public phone now, and I can broadcast this number smoothly."
"Very good, remember to ask the White Bird Police Department to make up for it."
"Remember, if Detective Shiratori is not here, then find Detective Takayama."
Hema nodded in relief.
The chairman urged: "Let's go, in order to deal with possible accidents on the road, we should arrive at the assembly area 20 minutes earlier."
"Okay, let's go." Said Hema and took the lead, and the girls immediately followed.
"Bon voyage." Amao blessed the back of Hema and his party.

At the train station, the teachers asked all the students to open their backpacks, as Nanjo and the chairman said, and they checked the contents of the bags one by one.
Then a boy in Class A was discovered by the teacher that "that thing" was hidden in his bag.
"What is this?" Even in the waiting area of Class B, the head teacher of Class A could clearly hear the questioning voice.
"This is... report to the teacher, this is bubble gum!"
"Then eat one and blow bubbles for me!"
Then, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the boy in class A tore open a package, threw the rubber product into his mouth and began to chew.
Kazuma couldn't help but glanced at Mikako's Class C, only to find that Mikako was also looking at her. After meeting her eyes, she stuck out her tongue, and said with her mouth, "I was almost killed by my mother."
After this episode, everyone in the third grade entered the station, and then boarded the Shinkansen.
The train crew of the Shinkansen also specially sent a young lady train conductor to explain the relevant knowledge of the Shinkansen to the students of Beigeji University.
But the students were largely not listening.
Except with horses.
As a business representative in his previous life, He Ma's most important task was to chat with customers. So he habitually memorizes information that can be used to talk about mountains.
Through the explanation, Kazuma learned that the Tokyo-Osaka Shinkansen is the first Shinkansen opened in Japan and the first high-speed railway in the world to be put into commercial operation. It has been in operation for 14 years.
The name Shinkansen comes directly from this railway.
From Tokyo to Osaka, there was originally a main line railway called Tokaido Railway. It is the most important railway line in Japan. 30/30 shipments.
The railway was overwhelmed, so a "new mainline railway", or Shinkansen for short, was to be built.
This became the collective name for all high-speed railways in Japan.
Even if the high-speed railway is built in a place where there is no old railway line running, it is also called the Shinkansen...
Hema was listening with gusto, but was interrupted by Mikako: "Hema, come and play UNO! Oh, it's useless to listen to it, and the university doesn't take the exam."
"No, theoretically speaking, the history of the establishment of the Shinkansen is also within the scope of the history subject test of Dongda University. But, forget it, I don't mind if you go on a school trip. Wait a minute, how did you get to our class? coming?"
Kazuma suddenly remembered that Mikako was actually in a different class from him, so he hurriedly asked.
"Oh, let's drop by." Mikako said nonchalantly, shuffling the UNO cards in her hand while talking.
Nanjo: "Mikako, where's your snack?"
"Here." Mikako dragged out the sports bag that was placed under the seat. It seemed that she didn't plan to go back to her class during the four hours from Tokyo to Osaka.

Li Zhenghe frowned and looked at Shi Enzhou: "Hey, what are you doing?"
He turned his head to look at the place Shi Enzhou was looking at just now, but he saw nothing.
Shi Enzhou shook his head: "Don't worry about it. I'm not quite right now."
"What the hell is a mental disorder? Don't make this up for me, because I came to Osaka to look for you, and I didn't keep an eye on you in Tokyo, and ended up killing seven brothers over there."
Shi Enzhou was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly asked: "Have you ever tried to see hallucinations?"
"If you mean seeing the old lady who has died long ago pointing fingers at me in front of me, yes, I often see it."
"No, I mean, something fancier."
Li Zhenghe frowned: "How strange?"
Shi Enzhou remained silent.
"Hey, what am I asking you, how strange is it?" Li Zhenghe strengthened his tone.
"... I can't describe it more carefully. In this world and me, one of them is always crazy."
Li Zhenghe turned his head and glanced at Xing Jishang, the operator of the garage base, who shook his head.
Li Zhenghe was speechless, looking straight into Shi Enzhou's eyes: "Can you still finish the work?"
"I can." Shi Enzhou raised his face, the distressed expression on his face just now disappeared, and he turned back to the reliable special equipment and blasting expert Shi Enzhou, "Bombs and other devices are all completed."
"Hmm." Li Zhenghe nodded, "Then, you stay here and wait for further instructions, don't act rashly."
After finishing speaking, Li Zhenghe stood up, turned and walked outside.
Xing Jishang followed immediately, leaving only Shi Enzhou sitting in the huge room, looking at the corner of the ceiling.
There is a spider there, weaving its own web like no one else is there.
**
Outside the office, Li Zhenghe turned to face Xing Jishang: "What's his situation?"
"I think it's post-traumatic stress disorder."
"PTSD? Isn't that something the US military concocted to win sympathy and cover up war crimes?" Li Zhenghe frowned, "He didn't take drugs, did he?"
"That's the problem, he didn't." Xing Jishang looked serious, "I thought you would understand him better."
"I'm a fucking artist, not a lunatic. How can I understand a lunatic?" Li Zhenghe took out a cigarette and put it on, then touched the matches all over his body.
Xing Jishang took out a lighter and put it in front of Li Zhenghe.
Li Zhenghe hesitated for a moment, then moved the cigarette over and lit it.
Xing Jishang: "I think that those who stubbornly think that cigarettes lit with lighters are not good for smoking should be fellow travelers."
"How many times have I said that matches are more convenient than lighters under special circumstances. The oil and gas in the lighter will become the last ray of light you see in your life if you are not careful." Li Zhenghe took a puff of smoke and changed the topic to Shi Enzhou body, "Do you think he can use it?"
"I don't think so. I wouldn't carry a ticking time bomb with me to do something big."
"It makes sense, then let him carry out the task of making a fuss. The Japanese are trying their best to catch him now, so let's just fulfill the Japanese wish."
"Understood. Then I will follow the plan and unpack the fake action plan in front of him tomorrow."
"Well, I leave it to you. It must look real."
"Of course. Except for me, no one knows that this is just a slap in the face. They will think that this is a huge ransom of 10 million US dollars. The people I pick are all guys who want to make a big ticket. They have I secretly planned to blow up the bank vault with dynamite, but I stopped it."
"You still have such talents under your command?" Li Zhenghe was speechless.
"Before they came, they were all good young people." Xing Jishang sighed, "Oranges are born in Huainan."
"Hmph." Li Zhenghe snorted, but did not reply.
"Speaking of which, has a defector been found in Tokyo?"
"Qiu Dongwan is still leading people to look for him. However, he is probably taken away. Don't worry, he is just a newcomer who doesn't know anything." Li Zhenghe said.
"He doesn't even know you're in Osaka?"
"He hasn't even met me, and he doesn't know that I exist. People in Tokyo, except for the oldest ones, think that Qiu Dongwan is the boss." Li Zhenghe grinned, "After all, I'm just a crazy person. Novelist and painter."
Chapter 257 This kind of development is generally how to say, oh, yes, "The gears of fate have started to turn"
Kiryu and Ma got off the Shinkansen, took a deep breath of Osaka's air, and found that it was no different from Tokyo.
Then He Ma planned to find a platform worker to ask casually about things, and listen to the legendary Kansai dialect...
At this time, someone shouted with a loudspeaker: "Students of Beigao from Tokyo, look this way! I am your tour guide Kimura, and the staff at the platform are very busy. You'd better not harass them just to listen to the Kansai dialect." , I told you to listen to it.”
The second half of the words were spoken in a Kansai accent, and it really sounded like he was talking about Mancai.
Many people, including Kazuma, started laughing.
This is normal. The Chinese also laugh when they see the maid suddenly say, "Do you want to eat Gouxiu Jinsama?" It's a similar reason.
"Please maintain order and exit the station in an orderly manner." The tour guide switched back to standard Japanese—there is no so-called official language in Japan, but everyone defaulted to the Japanese of the only state-run TV station, NHK, as standard Japanese.
Under the guidance of the tour guide, the students of Beige University left the station in an orderly manner.
On the way out of the station, Kazuma saw the propaganda flag of the Osaka SF Conference.
The beautiful girls on the banner are already very close to the aesthetics of the 2020s. You must know that the appearance of the "beauties" in comics and animations is still at a stage that seems quite retro to Ma.
For example, several women in Yuanzu Gundam, which just aired not long ago, are set to be beautiful. However, for people from Kazuma's age, this beauty is really just a setting.
Another example is the Rose of Versailles, which is now on fire, which really can't arouse the slightest lust for Ma and Ma.
In Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, which will be released in a few years, the heroine Nausicaa will become the number one goddess in the eyes of Japanese otaku for many years to come, until Ling Boli turns out to be born.
And Kazuma also likes Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, but he has no idea of going straight to Huanglong with Nausicaa.
He couldn't understand the Japanese otaku's desire to have sex with her in this era. This is the so-called generation gap.
But now the beautiful girl on the promotional banner of the Osaka SF Conference is already very close to the aesthetics familiar to Ma.
It is indeed something that was created by the group of people who later created Evangelion and influenced a generation of otaku obsessives in China and Japan.
In fact, Leaping to the Peak and The Mystery of Sapphire also greatly affect sexism, but although the character designs of these two films have the shadow of Evangelion, they are still restricted by the age and carry the imprint of the 80s.
To be honest, Kazuma now wants to go straight to the Osaka SF venue to witness the beginning of the legend.
It is best to have a little intersection with those who are still young people in their early twenties.
Of course, Kazuma's ambition doesn't stop there. He also wants to get to know Hayao Miyazaki. At this time, Hayao Miyazaki is probably busy with the production of Nausicaä.
By the way, this fantasy masterpiece "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind", which is recorded in the history of Japanese animation, also lost money at the beginning. It will be 20 years later when it relies on the value of IP, so Hayao Miyazaki's Ghibli has also been desperately trying to pay off its debts.
The first work he filmed to pay off his debts was called "Castle in the Sky", but because of a failure in cost management, he owed more and had to continue to shoot more commercial works.
Originally, Hayao Miyazaki was very arrogant. He said that "seiyuu is the whore of the voice". Come dub.
But later, in order to carry out cost management, and in order to be more in line with A Zhai's preferences, the old man gave in. Paying off debts is a big deal.
Maybe debt is something that this generation of Japanese animation masters must go through.
Nanjo noticed Kazuma's expression and gaze, and raised his head.
"DAICON?" She read out the English abbreviation of Osaka SF Conference, which is a combination of the first three letters of Osaka's Roman accent and the first three letters of the English word "conference".
Mikako looked at Nanjo suspiciously after hearing this: "A radish? What radish?"
In Japanese, radish is called "Dagen", and the pronunciation is exactly the same as the abbreviation of Nanjo's pronunciation just now.
It is also because of this that the beautiful girls on the promotional banners are all holding big radishes, which can be regarded as official jokes.
By the way, the character of this beautiful girl holding a radish has a far-reaching influence. Many years later, the otaku protagonist in the popular Japanese drama "Train Man" has his favorite work called "Moon Rabbit Weapon Mina". Pay tribute to this "starting point of legend".
The mood with Ma now is a bit like when he came to Japan for the first time in his previous life. He threw his bag at the hotel and went straight to Hakone without waiting for the translation provided by the company. This is the first time in "Evangelion". The seat of Sanshin Tokyo City.
Now, those who created "Evangelion", their debut work will be released for the first time at the SF Conference in Osaka, which will open tomorrow, directly shocking the industry, making big capitalists willing to invest money in these young students to become Wang Li Cosmos The ultimate money-burning masterpiece.
Kazuma remembers that the short film in his previous life had to wait a few years before it came out, but in this world Anno Hideaki is called Anno Akito, and the timing is almost normal.
Kazuma bit his lip, and whispered to Nanjo: "Tomorrow, I'm going to slip away to watch this SF conference."
"Eh? This... can't we wait until the day after tomorrow when we are free to move around?"
I stayed in Osaka for a total of three nights during the school trip. After staying in the hotel today, there is only one activity in the hotel. Tomorrow, I will go sightseeing in Osaka—no, it’s called learning. The day after tomorrow is the free time that everyone misses the most. The day after tomorrow Get in the car and go back to Tokyo.
What Nanjo said was the most reasonable arrangement. After all, when the day after tomorrow is free, visiting the SF conference is justifiable, and it can even be written directly in the report on the school trip experience to be handed in.
However, starting tomorrow to see this SF conference that is not on the tour route arranged by the school will not be justified.
Kazuma looked at the propaganda flag—the ceiling of the underground passage out of the station was covered with this propaganda flag, and he could see it all the way out of the station.
"Tomorrow is the opening ceremony, I want to watch the opening ceremony."
In fact, Hema doesn't have to watch the first release, his rationality tells him that it's okay to go a day later.
But his sensibility doesn't agree.
Also, don’t you think it’s very youthful to sneak away from the teacher during the school trip
So he told Nanjo that.
Honami Nanjo sighed: "Doing this kind of thing just for the reason of the taste of youth? This..."
"The taste of youth," the chairman suddenly interrupted the conversation, "If you come up with this reason, then you can only do it?"
"That's right, it's impossible for such a reason to... eh?" Nanjo didn't react at first, she glared at the chairman, "Do you want to do it?"
"The time to go shopping with Kazuma has changed from one day to two." The chairman looked at Nanjo and issued a decisive blow.
Nanjo: "Uh... what about Mikako?"
"She's in another class, and she won't even take the same car with us for a tour tomorrow, so we can only give up on her."
The chairman smiled.
"Don't worry, I will draw up a perfect plan and I won't be caught."
