With the blessing of the entry "Mistress of the Dojo (temporary)", Chiyoko successfully persuaded A Mao to participate in the hospitality trip on the Tokyo Empress.
Honami originally planned to invite all the family members of the Kiryu Dojo, but Seiryu and Tamamo unexpectedly volunteered to serve as left-behind guards.
Qingliu's reason is that she hates troublesome occasions like receptions, but in fact she wants to stay in the dojo to play with Xiao Caixiang, who is not suitable to leave Chang'an for activities yet.
As for Tamamo, she is somewhat interested in luxury cruise ships, but she is worried about Honami because she voluntarily stays behind.
"That's Honami's home stadium over there, so it's not good for me to join in the fun, right? And, are you sure you can handle Honami and me at the same time?" Fox asked with a smile on Kazuma who persuaded her to participate, and then Ma He decisively dismissed the idea.
"Heh, those who chased the two rabbits failed at both ends, so you can stay with Honami well on the Empress... She has been working hard recently, and as a man, I have to help her support the situation."
The fox laughed, reached out and flicked Hema's forehead, and then said that if Hema was in trouble, he could call her. Hema can only be grateful to accept this kindness towards the fox.
In this way, the number of Kiryu family participating in the hospitality trip was determined to be three people, in addition to the Kiryu brothers and sisters, plus the first disciple Shigeru Ikeda.
On the day of sailing, the three of them took the special car sent by Nanjo's family to the pier of Tokyo Port, and saw the extraordinary pure white cruise ship moored by the pier from a distance.
"Wow! Brother, brother, look! That must be ten stories high!? And it's so long! Put it in the playground of our school... no, no, it can't fit! Several teaching buildings add up Not as big as this ship!"
Chiyoko shook Kazuma's hand violently, excited like an elementary school student hiking for the first time.
"Well, after all, it needs to provide food, clothing, housing and transportation for two to three thousand people. The tonnage of the hull is not enough to support it, okay?" He Ma shrugged his shoulders and pretended to be calm, but in fact he couldn't hold back his excitement.
A super cruise ship that provides clothing, food, housing and transportation for thousands of people must meet the two needs of vacation and leisure and sailing at the same time. It is basically a mobile city on the sea.
Although He Ma is not a straight man of steel, he is also not immune to this kind of behemoth made of steel. If it wasn't for the presence of his younger sister Chiyoko and his disciple Amao, he would have already run to the pier and slapped the giant ship frantically.
"There are so many people coming for a hospitality trip..."
Compared to the Kiryu brothers and sisters, disciple Amao was surprisingly calm. Looking around at the bustling crowd in the waiting area of the pier, he frowned slightly.
"No problem, right? It seems like thieves and robbers are easy to sneak in..."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Kazuma immediately punched Amao on the head, scolding angrily, "This is a hospitality trip hosted by Honami, how can there be such a bad luck before departure!? It's not bad to be upright, But what you say depends on the occasion! Are you studying in Dongda for nothing?"
"I'm very sorry!" Amao blushed, and hurriedly lowered his head to apologize, "My disciple is stupid, thank you for your guidance!"
"If a lawyer can't even be amiable, it's impossible to gain the trust of others... Thank you Chiyoko, thank her for pulling you to this kind of occasion to practice. Otherwise, with your elm head, even if you are here If you study in Dongdali for another ten years, it will not bloom!"
He Ma put on the air of a teacher and reprimanded his disciples. As a time traveler, he was already much older in mental age, so it was quite imposing to reprimand him with righteous remarks. Not only was Amao bowed in shame, but even Chiyoko looked at him with admiration.
"We are here as guests. Since we are guests, we will come here in a proper manner. So don't cause trouble for Honami, put away the excess sense of justice, and hand over any problems to the professional team of the Nanjo family. do this."
Finally, Kazuma used these words to give general instructions to Amao and Chiyoko next door.
"yes!"
"Know it."
The disciple and the younger sister made their respective promises, and then He Ma turned his gaze to the surrounding waiting area.
The rated number of passengers on the Empress is more than 2,000, and the number of people gathered in the waiting area and preparing to board the ship at this moment accounts for about half of them.
More than a thousand passengers with their luggage are waiting to board the ship, and the crowd of men, women and children look quite spectacular.
Among them, there are not only family groups of three or five people like the Kiryu family, but also corporate clubs with dozens of people.
Under the diligent management of the Nanjo family, the waiting area was in order, and the faces of the passengers were full of excitement and anticipation, and the noisy sound was more like the prelude to a wonderful trip.
"There are so many people."
It seems that Mr. Nanjo intends to make the most of the opportunity of entertaining travel, and it is estimated that the guests will be more than the upper limit of cruise hospitality. From the operator's point of view, Hema is not incomprehensible. At this time, he can only silently pray that Ah Mao's crow's mouth will not come true.
"Yeah? That's..."
When looking around the waiting area, He Ma suddenly noticed a group of more than ten people.
The reason why that group attracted Kazuma’s attention was that almost everyone carried a sword bag, which contained bamboo knives, and judging from their physique and clothing, they should be a kendo club of a certain university, and Kazuma was among them. Also saw several impressive faces.
"Dongda Kendo Club? Are they here too?"
And the horse was amazed. Dongda Kendo Club was not well-known at first, but since it won the Yulong Banner competition with Ma two years ago, and won the titles of "Xiguo Wushuang" and "Apple Sword Master", the market of Dongda Kendo Club has also changed. It is bullish year by year.
After graduating from Hema, although there is no such powerful team in the kendo club, it has become a strong team that cannot be underestimated.
Because of their relationship with Ma, the Dongda Kendo Club has been sponsored by the Nanjo family all the year round. They were invited to board the boat for this hospitality trip, probably because of the consideration of favoring Ma.
After all, all the students from Tokyo University are the pillars of all walks of life in Japan. Building a good relationship with them is not only beneficial to the social management of the Nanjo family, but also greatly helps to enhance Wazuma's inter-school reputation.
Although Kazuma is still far away from the police chief, Honami seems to have begun to pave the way for the situation at that time.
"Should I say that she is indeed the eldest lady of the Nanjo family, she really knows how to take care of people..."
Kazuma smiled wryly, quite moved by Honami's heart.
At this time, several people from the Kendo Club noticed Kazuma in the distance, and waved to him violently with joyful expressions.
After graduation, Hema is occasionally invited back to the school's kendo club to guide juniors. In the most powerful kendo club, the titles of "Dragon of Kansai" and "Wisdom of the West" are enough to make Hema awed by his juniors. However, it is not suitable to go to say hello in a group action like this, so He Ma just waved his hand in response.
There might be some trouble for these energetic young men boarding the cruise ship, but this level of noise can probably be regarded as a side effect of travel.
"It seems that this trip will be quite lively...huh?"
He Ma shook his head and looked back, suddenly caught a glimpse of an unexpected figure, and then quickly adjusted the focus.
In the rest area where the seats were placed, stood a thin figure in a long windbreaker.
Because the man was wearing a hat, He Ma didn't recognize him for a while, but when the man turned his head and looked over, He Ma confirmed that he hadn't been dazzled before—that secretive and sneaky man in windbreaker was none other than someone else. It was Xiang Chuan from the police department who was also a half acquaintance to some extent.
"Xiang Chuan? Why did he come?"
And Ma frowned. Compared with the surprise of seeing the younger generation of Kendo before, the mood at this moment is obviously deflected to the negative side.
The Xiangchuan police department can be classified as a colleague of Hema temporarily according to his position, but he is the backbone of the corrupt faction of the Fengguo faction in the Metropolitan Police Department.
The Fengguo family has had many conflicts with Kazuma. When investigating Hinata’s use of brainwashing techniques to illegally collect money, although the main culprit was the Takata Police Department, Mukagawa had a lot of trouble with Kazuma as an accomplice.
The black gold evidence left behind after Takata fell to his death was seized and dispatched by Inspector Tanjing, which once made the Fengguo family quite uncomfortable, and Xiang Chuan and others basically did not show their faces in front of Kazuma after that.
Originally thought that the Fengguo family would settle down temporarily during his vacation, but he didn't expect to meet again so soon? Or was Xiang Chuan boarding the ship purely by chance? He Ma was puzzled, and his eyes moved slightly to the side.
Sitting on the chair next to Xiang Chuan was a young girl in a western dress. The girl was good-looking, and her well-trimmed short black hair gave people a refreshing and bright impression. Coupled with her expensive and appropriate clothes, she felt like a lady from a good family.
In addition, on the luggage trolley beside her, He Ma also caught a glimpse of a violin case, guessing that it is most likely a socialite who was invited to perform on stage on the cruise ship.
At this moment, the eldest lady is sitting and resting in an elegant posture, while the Xiangchuan Police Department is standing obliquely behind her like a bodyguard—the composition of this scene is very interesting.
Xiang Chuan, who can make the backbone of the Fengguo family, condescends to serve as a follower, and Kazuma looked at the elegant lady, and couldn't help but speculate on who she was.
"What's the matter, brother?" Chiyoko asked curiously when she noticed that Kazuma was touching her chin.
"It's nothing, I saw an acquaintance...yeah?" He Ma, who didn't want to make trouble, planned to fool Zeng too much, but he didn't expect that the eldest lady over there suddenly glanced over.
Glancing over, the eldest lady seemed quite surprised to see Kazuma, she turned her head and said a few words to the Xiangchuan Police Department next to her, then got up from her seat and walked towards this side.
Xiangchuan Police Department hesitated to speak, and followed her with a disheveled face.
Seeing the two getting closer, He Ma couldn't figure out what kind of medicine the other party bought in the gourd for a moment. But in any case, at least you still have to say hello.
"Xiangchuan Police Department, long time no see." Kazuma greeted with a smile, "What happened to Takata Police Department is really regrettable. I heard that even the public security system was alarmed. I don't seem to have seen you since then, I don't know if you're doing well?"
It is a rare malice for Kazuma to say such painful words with an expression of harmlessness to humans and animals.
