After the morning episode is over, the rest of the day feels unpretentious and dull.
After the last class in the afternoon, Kazuma stood up while packing up his textbooks.
Jinguji Tamamo reached out and took the books he was about to put in his schoolbag, and put them in his own bag.
"Go and investigate. It's better to travel lightly. Also, this is water, and this is a snack made by our family. You have to pay tribute to the lonely princess to persuade her to help."
Jinguji Yuzao said with a slight smile: "Our family is professional in tribute."
Hema glanced at the things that were directly stuffed into his schoolbag, then at Gongsi, and said with a smile, "Why don't you just follow me here."
"No, I'm going to continue reading at the New Ghost Story Research Association today." Jinguji Tamamo said very resolutely, "I like to complete my plan step by step, and today's schedule is very tight."
He Ma: "Actually, you simply like Lovecraft's works, right?"
Jinguji Yuzao smiled slightly, put the last book on the table into the bag and stood up: "Then, let's act separately. By the way, do you have the monthly pass? Or are you planning to borrow my car?"
He Ma: "Your family's car... Is it the one that looks high-end and luxurious today, or..."
"It's a van, isn't this more suitable for investigation?"
"Then I'd better take the bus. Anyway, with a monthly pass, I can take whatever I want this month."
Jinguji nodded: "Okay, then I'm leaving."
It seems that she is very anxious to read the book.
She also specially took the English version of Lovecraft's works that she wanted to return in her hand.
Hema sent Jinguji away. At this time, the handsome Ikemen from the same classroom came over and put him on Hema's shoulder very familiarly: "Why, something happened to your emotional life? I understand it very well. The high school couple went to the university. Cracking is normal. After all, the environment has changed, and everyone's horizons have suddenly expanded. Find a better... "
He Ma: "Who are you?"
The handsome Chi Mian was stunned: "Eh? You... don't know who I am?"
"Why do I have to know?"
"It's too much. Although the university doesn't pay much attention to classes, at least most of the courses in the first semester are taken together. After that, the compulsory courses in each semester are also taken together. When writing the graduation thesis, we have to set up a discussion group to communicate with each other. Isn't it basic to know
"You see, everyone knows you, Kiryu and Ma."
Kazuma looked at the handsome Ikemen, and first checked whether he had an entry. Facts have proved that even in a school like Tokyo University that gathers elites from all over Japan, entry is a rarity.
After confirming that there is no entry, He Ma looked at this handsome guy's expression with a little more disgust: You have no entry and you are not a beautiful girl, what use is there for you, women's clothing
So he said to Ma: "Everyone knows me because I am the hero of Osaka, the slayer of the bomb demon, the master of parkour, the gravedigger of the Tsuda group, the nemesis of Korea's pole, and the Karixi of the prairie. horse."
He Ma seems to be reading a string of words, but as long as the momentum is strong enough, no one will find that strange things are mixed in the name of the dish.
He Ma looked at the handsome guy and said, "What about you, do you have any merits that I should remember you for?"
The handsome guy looked embarrassed, but he still put on a fight and said, "I'm Susumu Fujita, a girl picker."
When He Ma heard that the other party was a girl-picking expert, he was happy: "Oh, it's actually a girl-picking expert, I'm sorry and disrespectful."
The opposite party pretended not to understand Kazuma’s ambiguity, and said: “It’s okay, it’s okay, I just met you. By the way, since you don’t have any company today, why don’t you come to our fellowship! I have an appointment with Musashino Art University. The girls…”
"Sorry, I have an appointment today." He Ma interrupted each other.
"But didn't your guy leave you behind?"
"Because I didn't date her." He Ma laughed.
Fujita Susumu's expression froze.
In fact, Kazuma did not make an appointment with Kitagawa Saori, but was about to set off to make an appointment now, but Fujita Susumu didn't know this.
Fujita Shin squeezed out a smile: "Amazing, Kiryu-san, you are indeed a man who can publish Fangchun last week."
"Where is it, aren't you also a man who can cooperate with Akira Kurosawa?"
Talk to the horse.
Susumu Fujita is the leading actor in Akira Kurosawa's famous work "Zi San Shiro".
At this time, Kazuma didn’t know how to write Fujita’s name, because the characteristic of Chinese characters in Japanese is that there are many cases of homophony. If you only know the pronunciation, you can write a lot of Chinese character combinations that are irrelevant.
But because of this feature of Japanese, homonyms are abundant in Japanese.
If you want to play homonyms in Chinese, you have to think about it, but in Japanese, you don’t have to think about it at all, because there are too many.
So He Ma is talking about it as a homonym at this time.
Unexpectedly, this hit Susumu Fujita's pain point: "Don't mention it, my father is a fan of Fujita-san, so he gave me such a name. When I was bullied in junior high school, they gave me the nickname Daisao Kato .”
The most famous role of "Fujita-san" in Fujitaguchi was in 1944, when the Japanese revolution was at an end, in order to boost the morale of the people, he played the protagonist Kato Takeo in the movie "Kato Hayabusa Combat Team".
This movie was remade after the war, called "Ah! Army Air Corps", and "Ah! Navy" is the same series.
By the way, this Fujita Susumu also participated in "Ultraman Seven" after the war, as the commander of the Earth Defense Force.
He Ma didn't expect that he would dig out the black history of this handsome guy being bullied in junior high school, so he happily sprinkled salt on his wound: "You will still be bullied? It seems that it will become The frivolous handsome guy in the center of the class."
"This is the result of 'high school debut'." Fujita waved his hand.
Shocked with Ma: Debuting in high school is really useful
He glanced at the top of Fujita Susumu's head again, there was indeed no entry, and judging by his age, he didn't seem to be able to master Suzuki's butler's unique skill of writing entries for himself at any time.
It seems that not everyone who has fought bullying will have an entry.
Thinking about it carefully, Chiyoko has also been bullied, and there is no entry.
Kazuma lost interest in Fujita Susumu, waved his hand and said, "Come on, Fujita-san, and strive to cooperate with Kurosawa Akira as soon as possible."
After speaking, he walked out of the classroom.
**
Hema originally planned to use the monthly ticket to take the bus to the place where Saori, Beichuan, sang, but then thought it was still early in the evening, and it would not take much time to stroll there.
So he and the horse went out of Chimen and walked slowly along the street.
When passing a game center, He Ma suddenly saw two people wearing the uniforms of Beige University.
He and Ma wore this school uniform until graduation in March this year, so it was natural to focus on the two of them.
Then he actually recognized the two of them.
It was Higashiide Jun, who ran for student council president with Nichinan Rina, and the girl Shimato Marina who was always by his side.
"What, it finally came to fruition." Hema said to himself, but he suddenly remembered something: Beige's High School is not close to Wenjing District, and now it's just after school in the afternoon at most, how did these two come here
He Ma took out his pocket, took out his student ID card and monthly pass, and realized after a glance: It has been a year since He Ma wanted to confirm the time, and he still subconsciously took out his phone.
There is no mobile phone, no watch, and no girl who can grasp the wrist to look at the watch, so Hema can only look for the clock everywhere.
Afterwards he thought about it, forget it, if those two really skipped school and went shopping, he would have to find out by himself.
He Ma is confident that his "big senior" is still very oppressive to the juniors of Beigao, and they should not dare to lie to He Ma.
He and Ma swaggered into the game hall.
In this era, game halls are the ultimate fashion trend, and this one in Bunkyo District is aimed at college students, a group who pursue electronic trends.
But for Hema, the current arcade games are a bit too childish.
The most popular game now is "Cosmic Invaders". This game and Ma played its SFC version on the Xiaobawang learning machine when he was a child. At that time, everyone called it "Little Bee".
Kazuma, who almost played Cyberpunk 2077 before the time travel, saw the crude picture of "Little Bee", and his heart was not disturbed, and he even wanted to laugh.
But for people of this era, this thing is like magic, and it can't be stopped at all.
Japanese arcade machines directly use 100 yen coins to insert coins, unlike when He Ma Shengzi went to the arcade hall to play 97 when he was a child, he had to spend money to buy coins first.
When arcade games were the hottest, there was even a shortage of 100 yen coins in Japan, and many supermarkets didn’t even have enough coins for change.
Of course, apart from the upstart "Little Bee", Pachinko is another big money eater in the game hall, but Pachinko needs to exchange the money into steel balls first, and then use the steel balls to play, which is one more procedure than Little Bee.
I don't know if it's because of this, but there are several times more people playing "Little Bee" than Pachinko in the game hall.
But those who played pachinko were obviously old gamblers, everyone just bought a basket of steel balls and placed them at their feet, beating them one by one.
In addition, the people who played "Little Bee" were all college students, while the age distribution of the people who played Pachinko was much wider, and Kazuma even saw a few poles.
Hema wants to try to see if those jiudao recognize him, and test his popularity among jiudao.
But in the end he suppressed the urge to be naughty and went to find his two juniors.
Soon, He Ma found Dong Chushun sitting in front of the machine playing games boredly in the innermost part of the "Little Bee" area.
Marina Shimato sat beside him and watched him play games, and looked worriedly at Higashiide Jun's profile from time to time.
It seems that there is something wrong with the boy's mind.
So he went forward with the horse.
Marina Shimato saw Kazuma first, and the girl immediately showed the expression of seeing the savior, and it seemed that tears were about to burst out of her eyes.
He Ma said to the girl with his mouth: "Leave it to me."
Then he came behind Dong Deshun and patted his shoulder hard.
Dong Deshun said impatiently: "I don't bring a lot of money, I can't buy a few steel balls!"
It looks like he was robbed in this shop.
Hema said, "Guess who I am?"
Higashi Deshun gave a jolt, then stood up abruptly, regardless of the game, turned around and looked at Kazuma: "Senior?"
"You still know that I am your senior? Go to the coffee shop next to you and sit for a while, you should have something to tell me?"
Regardless of whether he has something to say, if the senior says he has something, then he has it.
Dong Chushun hesitated for a second, then nodded: "Okay, I see."
He Ma patted him on the shoulder: "Then why are you still standing there, let's go."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and went to the entrance of the game hall.
Higashide hurriedly took the schoolbag from Marina Shimato, and followed Kazuma's footsteps.
Marina Shimato followed closely behind him.
After taking two steps with the horse, I saw Kitagawa Saori who was also wearing a sailor suit, carrying a guitar and a bamboo sword.
"Huh? Don't you play? I saw you walking in, and I wanted to laugh at you for playing badly." Kitagawa Saori said.
He Ma: "If I spend my money on this game, my sister will kill me if she finds out."
"Ah, yes, that's right. I don't understand the troubles of poor people. I want to have a good time, Jindu has come in... What are you doing?"
Kama took Saori Kitagawa's hand: "You come too!"
"Let go, I'll hit you!"
"If you can beat it, try it."
He Ma heard the sound of staggering.
"If I can draw my sword, I'll definitely cut it!" Kitagawa Saori said, "But there are too many people here, it's not good to hurt others."
"Yes, it's good that you come."
In fact, He Ma just didn't want to let this guy go, so as not to go to her after solving the problem of the younger generation.
Just like that, he dragged Saori Kitagawa with the horse, and led the two juniors out of the game hall to the nearby cafe.
As soon as he was seated, Kazuma said to the clerk who took the order: "Order four glasses of the cheapest soda."
"Wait a minute! You can't save money like this?" Beichuan Saori yelled, "Forget it, I'll treat you, four cups of Blue Mountain coffee. And give this lady a piece of mousse cake. Well, I want Sundae."
Kazuma looked at Saori Beichuan seriously: "I'm not boasting, even if I took out all the money in my wallet, I wouldn't be able to give you what you ordered."
"Just say I'm treating you." Kitagawa Sayori waved to the waiter, and then looked at Higashiide Jun and Shimato Marina who were sitting side by side on the other side of the table.
"Are you students of Bei Gao? How high are you?"
"Senior year." Seeing that Higashiide Jun didn't want to answer, Shimato Marina whispered.
"That's it, that's senior. So what's going on, is it because of lack of money to have an abortion?" Bei Chuan Saori said surprisingly.
Although He Ma also felt that it might be a problem in this area, he would not ask such a straightforward question.
Hema glanced at Sha Xuli, who spread his hands together: "I play music, this kind of thing happens a lot."
"I think you should first apologize to the music players all over the world." He Ma said, "Even among the music players, there are noble people who don't mess with men and women, and don't have sex!"
"Are you talking about Chopin and Beethoven?" Kitagawa Saori asked.
"I said me!"
Kiryu Kazuma is set to be a musician.
"What?" Kitagawa Saori was shocked, "You don't have any?"
He Ma was about to refute, but Saori Kitagawa said, "Thinking about it, I didn't either. Then I would like to apologize to the musicians I have never met before."
Kazuma felt that he would lose if he complained, so he turned his attention to the two people who were confused by the sudden interaction between Kazuma and Kitagawa Saori.
"Dong Chu, what's the problem, let's hear it. In my impression, you are not a person who would skip class and go to the game hall."
Dong Desun's expression became gloomy.
"I, at the beginning of this semester..." He looked up at Kazuma, and immediately looked down at the table. Just as he was about to continue, the waiter brought coffee and snacks, so Higashide Jun fell silent again.
After the waiter left, he continued: "At the beginning of this semester, I heard the new homeroom teacher talk about what happened to your class last year. It's like imitating the seniors and launching a 'see you at the Budokan next year' event."
He Ma nodded: "Then?"
"However, my initiative was ridiculed. Several guys who had conflicts with me before took the lead in saying that there was something wrong with me."
Saori Kitagawa: "That's how the bullying started. It's really boring. Will there still be such dramas in the third year of high school?"
Marina Shimato suddenly said loudly: "No, it's not bullying! I mean, it's not because of bullying that Higashiide-san is so depressed. After all... he has been bullied all the time, and he hasn't stopped."
He Ma: "You are the one who can run for the president of the student union, but you will also be bullied?"
Hema remembers that Chiyoko said that the best way to deal with bullying is to socialize and use social power to fight.
People who are highly social are less likely to be targets of bullying.
In Kazuma's view, Dongde Jun is a person with good social skills.
Dong Deshun said, "I don't know if that was considered bullying before, but it is true that more than half of the students in the class didn't deal with me. So I don't care if they start laughing at me."
He Ma: "Then when you say this, you mean that other things are related to this, right?"
"I..." Dong Chushun became depressed, "I... I don't know very well, I always feel that these unlucky things are all in the same group. I'm sorry, I didn't organize my thoughts. After seeing the senior, I suddenly wanted to put everything Say everything…”
"Luck and misfortune never come singly." He Ma said, "Go ahead and tell me all your recent misfortunes."
Dong Chushun: "I... let's talk about the most serious thing. My mother ran away from home suddenly, and my father called the police, but the police also said that there was nothing they could do, because my mother left a note before leaving. Leave the daily necessities."
And Ma Xin thought, how come I seem to have seen this plot before? Isn't this the pre-plot where Ah Mao became bad back then
Higashiide continued: "Actually, I noticed that my mother was having an affair. Recently, she obviously started to put on makeup again. Every day, she added new makeup and skirts like a young fashion girl. I also thought about it, Remind mom that dad has been working very hard for the family, and let her not let dad down.
"However, before I could implement my plan, my mother ran away from home. The note left behind said 'Sorry, I became someone else's girlfriend'."
At this moment with Ma, I remembered the famous breakup song "I became someone else's girlfriend (别の人の双女になったよ)".
He resisted the urge to hum.
Dong Deshun continued: "After my mother left, my father became depressed, didn't work overtime, and got drunk all day long. Then one night, he seemed to go to listen to an underground band. The next day I was in his room I saw a lot of posters of that band."
And Ma frowned.
Dong Deshun: "That band is called URB band. My father has been in a bad situation since then. He talked all day about the god of music will save everyone, so he couldn't get on the class at all. The company called to ask, and he still He will howl fiercely at the company.
"He bought a lot of merchandise from that band, and then went to see URB's live performance every day. I secretly hid the passbook and seal to prevent him from spending money, but he beat me up hard and forced me to Take out the passbook and seal."
In Japan, the seal is a very important item. You need a seal to sign everything, and you need to go to the bank to withdraw money.
There are no ATM machines in this era, and you have to go to the counter to withdraw money.
He Ma: "Then you started to give up on yourself?"
Higashiide Jun sighed: "Yes. However, there have been some changes recently. Dad started playing that URB band song at home, and since then, I have always had nightmares at night..."
"Nightmare?" He Ma asked, "What kind of dream?"
"It's... the god of music... a nightmare like that." Dong Deshun said.
