That night, it was past eleven o'clock when He Ma came out of the KTV.
After getting into the car, Kazuma said to Honami: "I feel like I'm almost sober, why don't I drive?"
"Drunk driving is prohibited!" Honami patted Kazuma, "Sit next to her."
And the horse can only move to the co-pilot position.
He was still worried: "This car needs to use such a long pole to put into gear, and this pole is still very heavy, can you do it?"
"What are you talking about? Anyway, I have practiced kendo with you for so long. I can handle poles of any length and weight."
As she spoke, she closed the door, started the engine, and shifted gears smoothly.
Looking at this, He Ma suddenly smiled: "Did you know that in China across the sea, there are female bus drivers. You look so good."
Honami glanced at Kazuma: "Why do you feel that you are very familiar with Chinese things?"
—Nonsense, my family!
He Ma couldn't tell the truth, but could only say: "I am interested in Chinese culture, so I learned more about it."
Honami drove the car out of the parking lot, and just after turning a corner, she said, "This car is so heavy. I obviously turned the steering wheel all the way, but the turning radius is still so large."
"Look at the size of this car! It's strange that the radius is so small. Can you do it? Otherwise, I'll do it."
"No! Drunk driving is prohibited! You just sit obediently and watch me play."
Kazuma shrugged, opened the window on his side, and let the wind blow his hair.
Seeing this, Honami reached out to turn off the air conditioner, but she turned the switch by mistake and flicked the switch on the crepe cart's player.
The sound of the crepe jingle resounded through the night sky.
Fortunately, she flipped the switch back immediately.
"You, tell me about buying a car earlier, and I can get you a retired car from an affiliated company of the Nanjo Foundation."
"A retired car can be settled for 50,000 yen? That's fine, I'll buy everything."
He Ma put his arm on the open car window, looked at the receding street scene, and continued: "This car is also good, it has a large tonnage, and in case of any emergency, you can use this car as a bumper car. No car has ever been hit but a loaded truck."
Honami sighed: "Personally, I still don't want such a big scene. I think a big scene like Raiders of the Lost Ark is enough."
"Wait a minute, are you saying that the Indiana Jones scene is small? It's not small, okay!" Hema complained, "The scene of Indiana Jones is already a big scene that the Japanese film industry cannot produce."
"Can't it be filmed? Isn't the scene in "Lan" a big one?"
"That's Akira Kurosawa, okay? Only Akira Kurosawa has the talent to mobilize the resources of the entire Japanese film industry to make such a movie... Wait a minute, have you seen it?"
"My grandfather has an investment, so he was invited to watch the screening, and I went with him." Honami glanced at Kazuma, "It's you, why do you have the feeling that you have seen it too?"
—Because I did read it, but it was in my previous life.
He Ma explained: "I saw the advance feature in a movie magazine, so I knew it was a big scene."
"That's it."
I wiped off my sweat with the horse, but fortunately Honami didn't like to get to the bottom of it.
In this time and space, "Chaos" will be released later, so now ordinary people have no place to watch it if they want to.
In my previous life, I remember that it was released in June 1985.
Silence fell, and Ma was sobering up, so he didn't speak, and Honami drove the car quietly.
After a while like this, Honami suddenly smiled: "I suddenly feel that this is not bad."
Hema didn't catch her train of thought for a while, so he asked, "How is it?"
"That's it. I'm driving the car, and you sit in the co-pilot blowing the wind, just watching the thousands of lights outside and running back. Don't you think it feels good?"
He Ma looked out the window and felt it: "Well, it seems to be pretty good."
"Why don't we take a long detour." Honami said in a rescuing tone, "Anyway, it's already so late, it's okay to be a little later."
"Okay." He Ma agreed without thinking.
Honami turned the steering wheel, left from the original route, and turned into another road.
"Don't go too far, I have to go to work tomorrow." Hema reminded.
"Don't worry, I have a measure."
Honami drove on a small road with few cars, and felt that the distance between the street lights had increased.
After driving on the small road for a while, she smiled again: "It's unexpected that I suddenly have time to be alone. I thought I would never have such an opportunity."
"How come, it's not life and death."
"I'm talking about the chance to be alone. Although it's nice to have a lot of fun together, but..."
Honami didn't continue talking.
He Ma: "Only when that monkey came back from England can be called lively."
"Aren't there many children who come to learn kendo on Sunday? I think it's quite lively."
"That's true." Hema curled his lips, "It's a pity that those children are not so much here to learn kendo, it's better to say that their parents want to have fun on Sunday, so they entrust their children with us."
Honami also smiled: "Indeed. It is impossible to learn kendo well if you only practice two days a week. Didn't you tell those parents that you usually send your children here? Xiaoqian should be happy to come back from school every day to earn some extra money, right? "
"She has always wanted to do this, but few parents responded."
"That's it."
Honami was silent for a few seconds, and then suddenly said: "It would be great if the days went on like this, without the welfare technology that secretly expands power, and without Aikawa Falong."
"Unfortunately, they are there, and they are still advancing their plans step by step."
"Yeah. Speaking of which, I inquired about the situation of Soichiro Uesugi who was sent to the hospital by you. He was completely paralyzed on the bed. In theory, he should not pose a threat, but it seems that Fufu Technology is planning to do something. look."
Hema was stunned: "Of course they plan to do something. Soichiro Uesugi has the strength of a sword master, which is a rare material for welfare technology."
"You said that welfare technology has done so many things, what exactly do you want to do? Do you want to rule the world? The United States and the Soviet Union can't allow this to happen, right? Those two countries have so many nuclear bombs in their hands, and they can destroy the earth several times. Dominating the world? This kind of thing can't happen in reality, can it?"
He Ma: "Maybe they want to live forever. Immortality is very attractive to the top leaders of the United States and the Soviet Union."
Honami sighed: "Eternal monsters deliberately want to become humans, but short-lived humans yearn for immortality."
"People inside the besieged city want to come out, and people outside the besieged city want to go in." He Ma said softly.
"Ah, I know this. It's the Chinese writer Qian Zhongshu, right?" Honami said, "I also read a lot of Chinese works during my four years in college."
"Just because I like China?"
"Don't be arrogant, it's because Chinese culture is attractive." Bao Nai gave He Ma a white look.
He Ma laughed and said, "Then tell me what you've watched? Four years have passed, and I haven't heard you say this yet."
"First of all, I have read all of Lu Xun's works. Before I read Kenzaburo Oe, whoever said that if I had the opportunity to write the true story of Q, I would rather not have all my current works than to change this opportunity. I still think he is It’s an exaggeration, but it’s really amazing after watching it.”
He Ma nodded: "Lu Xun's sorrow is that his essays are still valid today, which shows that human beings have not made any progress."
Honami nodded, "Yes."
He Ma continued to ask: "Is there anything else besides Lu Xun?"
"Qian Zhongshu. And Schopenhauer." Honami said a few more names that I have no impression of Ma, "The last one is Romance of the Three Kingdoms."
In Japan, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is directly called "Records of the Three Kingdoms", and Chen Shou's Romance of the Three Kingdoms is often confused with the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
He Ma: "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, I stopped watching Zhuge Liang after he died. For me, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms ended when the dead Zhuge scared away the living Sima Yi."
"From the perspective of a commercial novel, Liu Guanzhang and Zhuge Liang, who are portrayed as the protagonists, died one after another, which is simply unreasonable." Honami commented, "But it is not a commercial work."
He Ma laughed and said: "In his time, it was a commercial work. It's like The Encounter of Monte Cristo, which was also published as a popular novel back then.
"In the era when the Romance of the Three Kingdoms was written, there must have been many popular novels of other themes, but only the most artistic ones were handed down, so they became masterpieces and classics.
"Time is like a sieve, and only things that can stand the test of time will remain. I think that among the current popular novels, some people will still read them a hundred years later, that is, they are masterpieces and literature. .”
Honami responded thoughtfully: "You mean, there may be future classics in those commercial novels? Well... I have read a few of that kind of swordsman novels to pass the time. I really don't think they will become literature."
He Ma: "Those literary critics back then also viewed The Story of Monte Cristo in the same way."
Honami was silent for a few seconds, and then said, "Then do you think that every copy of the Legend of the Galactic Heroes you buy will become literature in the future?"
He Ma: "No, I buy every book to pass the time."
In fact, it is to realize the dream.
He Ma once wanted to receive a set of the first edition of Legend of the Galactic Heroes in his life, but found that there was no market for the price.
In a few years, Hema will also buy Rhodes Island War Record, which was also a dream in his previous life.
When Hema was still a junior high school student, Deedlit, the heroine of Rhode Island Wars, established his beautiful fantasy of elves.
By the way, because the impression of Deedlit was too strong, when Kazuma saw the Lord of the Rings for the first time, before Legolas spoke, he thought he was a girl, and thought that Deedlit was very vivid.
Honami glanced at Kazuma: "Is it really to pass the time? But every June 1st, you will pretend to be dead in the corridor of your own house, saying 'I'm sorry, Frederick', this is the line in the book, right? ? How do I feel that you have a deep affection for Legend of the Galactic Heroes?"
He Ma: "Every time I get to 226, I still sing Miluoyuan Water Luan Pai Bo, just playing."
In fact, it is a habit left over from the previous life. In the previous life, I mixed with horses in military forums and military housing circles. Every year when the time comes, a group of people will show peace. In fact, it is just playing tricks.
The same goes for the annual Christmas chants of "Barney don't have to fight anymore," which has become an annual rave for a small group of people.
And Kazuma, who was reincarnated into this world, carried out these actions every year, which added a meaning of maintaining the connection between himself and his previous life.
Honami glanced at Kazuma, and changed the subject: "Did Akito Anno and the others come to visit you a few days ago?"
"Hmm. How did you know?"
"I've been talking on the phone with Xiaoqian a lot lately. The phone company has launched a new service that gives free minutes of calls every month. You know Xiaoqian's personality. She thinks it's a loss if she doesn't use up the call minutes." gone."
Kazuma smiled: "Indeed. So you keep track of my daily movements through Chiyoko..."
"I'm not okay! Don't make me look like a stalker!" Honami's voice raised a lot.
He Ma: "Okay, okay, you didn't. Akito Anno has indeed come over, and they are paying off their debts in pain recently. Their movie a few years ago made the father of the funder suffer a lot. In the next ten years, they may have to live to pay off their debts." gone."
In fact, Hema thought about directly taking Akito Anno to shoot Evangelion, but Evangelion became popular not only because of its excellent quality, but also because of the times.
Getting Evangelion out now may not necessarily explode.
It's 85 now, on the tail end of the first golden age of Japanese animation.
Works such as Macross, Armored Cavalry and the famed Gundam are the mainstream of this era.
The works of this era echo the psychology of the Japanese people who are heading towards the bubble era, and they are full of positive vigor. At this time, an animation with an awkward, negative-minded teenager as the protagonist thinks that he died not fast enough
Honami asked curiously, "What works are Anno and the others shooting now?"
"It seems to be a story about a giant robot and a beautiful girl."
Although Evangelion is also the story of a giant robot and a beautiful girl, what Hema is talking about here is "Leap to the Peak".
Honami blinked: "Are they planning to follow suit? Seeing that the movie version of Macross sells well, just follow suit?"
"No, their robot is driven by two female drivers." He Ma said.
"Eh? A female driver? That's very novel."
"It's right in your strike zone, right?" Hema laughed.
As an independent new woman, Honami naturally has a good impression of this kind of works where women take the lead.
Honami added: "But... this setting will make those who are used to traditional robot works unhappy? After all, in traditional robot works, women are vases, and Macross is just a vase that can sing."
"They also struggled for a long time, but they are big fans of Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, and finally decided to make a work like Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind with pure female protagonists."
Honami showed a regretful expression: "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind is also well-received, but the box office is dismal."
Ghibli is also in debt now. Because of debt, Hayao Miyazaki took the work of Castle in the Sky, which has a traditional male and female protagonist.
However, Castle in the Sky did not sell many movie tickets, forcing Hayao Miyazaki to start using commercial voice actors in his next work.
Hayao Miyazaki once said that "seiyuu is the master of voice". His works are usually dubbed by professional actors, and people from Takarazuka are even invited to do the dubbing.
In order to live, even the old man had to lower his high head.
