It is really poverty that limits the greatest sin of human imagination.

When Mr. Sasaki led everyone into the banquet hall of the Mishima family, everyone was shocked by the enormity of the scene. The huge hall of hundreds of square meters is neatly lined up with rows of small square tables and kneeling chairs. If the seats are connected to each other back to back, there is a dedicated aisle for serving food in the middle.

"It's huge!"

"It is worthy of being an aristocratic court that has been inherited for hundreds of years!"

"yes!"

……

The students behind him kept whispering, and Mr. Sasaki quickly stopped him.

"Don't speak!"

"Image! Image"

……

Under Sasaki's command, the students lined up in three rows under the main stage at the end of the hall to form a neat phalanx to celebrate Yuo Mishima's birthday.

"Happy birthday Mishima-san!"

Dozens of people shouted the same greetings together, which was still very imposing.

The main table is a small rectangular platform 20 centimeters above the floor of the hall, and the background is painted with a picture of the rising sun and Izumo in the style of traditional Toryukyu Ball Kingdom paintings. In the middle is a row of small long tables that can accommodate 6-7 people, and behind the table are Yuo Mishima's father, mother, and Yuo Mishima.

"Thank you for coming!

Behind the main stage, the three of Mishima sat on their knees and bowed deeply. It's a very traditional etiquette, and there's nothing brilliant or unusual about it. Yuo Mishima follows his parents in every move, and he really looks like a little puppet who has been raised.

Without waiting for Du Pingping to sigh more, everyone had been taken away from the main stage by Sasaki.

"I'm so nervous!"

"Me too!"

"It's like in TV dramas and movies, the feeling of a retainer visiting the lord. ”

"You feel that way, too? It's as if you've traveled back hundreds of years. ”

"Sympathy!

……

As soon as he left, the team behind Sasaki began to hear the whispers of young people excitedly. Straight and angry, Sasaki reprimanded loudly:

"Don't speak!"

"Image! Image"

……

Soon, the work of Du Pingping and other students has been issued, and they are responsible for guiding the relevant guests who belong to the alumni of Tachibana High School to the places where they should be. It is said that this is a job that Izumi alumni personally asked the Mishima family to express the tradition passed down by the Tachibana High School Alumni Association.

Du Pingping's understanding is the tradition of the younger generation to serve the seniors. Of course, this can also be understood as the care of the seniors for the juniors, and the relationship between them is deepening.

Since Yuo Mishima and his father and mother all graduated from Tachibana High School, there are indeed many guests at this time, and the Tachibana Alumni Association is indeed a member. Most of the other guests came to the main stage in groups to congratulate the host, and there was little scale and momentum of the group of people led by Mr. Sasaki. Of course, there are also guests who need to be led by Yuo Mishima's father to greet them outside the door in person. And among the guests, there were also journalists, representatives of the people, ....... The ingredients are horribly complex. When the guests were basically there, Du Ping and the other service staff were taken back to their seats by Mr. Sasaki.

A group of monks rang the bell from the central aisle to the main platform.

This is where tonight's ceremony begins.

According to tradition, the Mishima family's men's coming-of-age ceremony is presided over by this temple. ……”

Although Du Pingping, who was born in a grassroots family, did not understand what was going on now, but sitting with Du Pingping was the top students of Tachibana High School, among whom were knowledge fans who knew the local aristocratic traditions of Tibet and Ma, and constantly showed their unique knowledge reserves through the fact that there were still people among his students who did not understand.

At the end of the coming-of-age ceremony presided over by the monks, Akira Mishima, his wife and son, expressed their gratitude to everyone who attended the ceremony. After that, a series of banquet activities began.

First of all, Akira Mishima and his wife performed a ballroom dance together;

Then Yuo Mishima performed a karate show and preached that he would aspire to join the army and contribute his life to the country when he grew up;

……

Tachibana High School organizes a group dance full of activities;

……

Slowly, the scene of the banquet entered the stage of full-time artists performing, and the rigorous atmosphere of the scene was also eased, and some people began to move around each other one after another. Some acquaintances will also get together to communicate with each other.

The host of the banquet, Akira Mishima and Mrs. Mishima, also have to be on the scene. Yuo Mishima no longer knows where to go, probably to change clothes and rest.

When Du Ping was bored, a figure dressed in a woman's costume came to Du Ping's side.

Aiko Imamiya, "Tosang, we're meeting again!"

Du Pingping was taken aback, "Imamiya ......! Why are you here?"

Aiko Imamiya looked at Mr. and Mrs. Akira Mishima, who were having a lively exchange on the rostrum, and calmly replied, "Why can't I be here?"

Du Fair stood up and pulled Aiko Imamiya out of her seat and into a remote corner.

"What are you going to do?"

Aiko Imamiya looked at Du Fair mischievously, "You want to know?"

Du Ping was nervous, "What do you really do!"

Du Pingping thought of the scene of fierce gunfights, rivers of blood and mutilation, and the background of the story of men and women running wildly. Du Ping is a little uncomfortable.

Aiko Imamiya smiled, "Don't be nervous! It's a festive time, how can there be blood and gunfire in such a good time?"

Du Pingping still won't be reassured, "What are you going to do?"

Aiko Imamiya, "You want to know?"

Du Ping nodded.

Aiko Imamiya smiled even more, "Speaking of which, the purpose of my coming here this time really has something to do with you. ”

Du Ping was puzzled, "Does it have anything to do with me?"

Aiko Imamiya, "My father said that we owe you a favor. ”

Du Pingping, "Owe me a favor, are you mistaken?"

Aiko Imamiya, "We know that Miyako Kazama's collaborator is you. Because of this series of news reports, we have become famous, added a lot of fresh blood, and received a lot of financial support. ”

Du fair, "That's the credit of Miss Miyako Kazama, and it has nothing to do with me!"

Aiko Imamiya, "Miyako Kazama is Miyako Kazama, you are you." ”

"I don't need this kind of favor!"

Aiko Imamiya, "It's your business whether you need it or not, and it's not our business." So today I have carefully provided Du Jun with a very, very interesting gift!"

Du Fair, "What gift?"

Aiko Imamiya smiled mysteriously, "It's a surprise! ”

When Du Ping returned to his seat, he found a beautiful figure sitting there.

Miyako Kazama, "Fair Du, let's meet again!"

Miyako Kazama's style is definitely rare in the world, and the attraction to men is even more fatal, not to mention young boys and girls who have just sprouted their youth. Many boys were immediately seduced by Miyako Kazama's simple movements and voices, and girls also showed envious looks.

Du Ping's eyes flashed, "Famous reporter, Miss Miyako Kazama, I'm so excited to see you here." I'm a huge fan of yours!"

Out of the purpose of not wanting outsiders to know about his relationship with Miyako Kazama, Du Ping immediately pointed out Miyako Kazama's name and the identity of the famous reporter to everyone.

Miyako Kazama, "Really?"

Du Fair, "Of course it's true!"

A secret look signaled to Miyako Kazama: I have something to look for you.

Miyako Kazama received the message, and her eyes smiled as if she could drip water, "Walk with me and chat, no problem, right?"

"Of course. ”

In everyone's envious expressions, Du Ping said goodbye to everyone and walked to the corridor outside the hall with Miyako Kazama.

Du Fair, "I didn't expect you to be here." ”

Miyako Kazama, "There's nothing strange about me here, I'm a journalist! It's weird you're here!"

"What's so strange?"

Miyako Kazama, "Although I didn't say it explicitly, this banquet can also be said to be an important place for Tachibana High School to recommend important student members of its school to its alumni. Isn't it strange that you're here?"

"When you say that, this is really strange." ”

Miyako Kazama covered her mouth and chuckled, "It seems that there should be some insider trading in your fall from the building, right?"

"Why do you want to know?"

Miyako Kazama, "Of course I want to know. But considering the partnership with you, Tachibana alumni is also an organization with a huge impact. I feel like I'm better off being confused. ”

Du Pingping, "The Personal Cultivation of a Famous Journalist?"

Miyako Kazama, "The basic qualities of a successful, mature, and growing famous journalist!" If it shouldn't be clear, even if it is, it should be confused. ”

Du Pingping, "It's really a matter of increasing knowledge!"

Miyako Kazama, "Alright, it's time for me to go!"

Du Fair, "I have something to do with you!"

Miyako Kazama, "You're looking for me?"

Du Fair, "I just met Aiko Imamiya!"

Miyako Kazama, "Aiko Imamiya?"

Du Fair, "Aiko Imamiya." ”

Miyako Kazama's face also turned ugly.

"Do we need to call the police?"

Miyako Kazama, "She didn't say, what do they want to do?"

Du Ping shook his head, "She didn't say it." Just to say it's not a horror incident, just to surprise me. Can I trust her?"

Miyako Kazama frowned, "It's hard to say! Aiko Imamiya's nickname is a witch, and this witch didn't scream out randomly." ”

Yuo Mishima, who was sitting on the rostrum, suddenly walked beside a waiter he was not familiar with. The waiter came to Mishima and whispered in his ear.

Waiter, "Mr. Katakura, there is something going on there. ”

Yuo Mishima, "Katakura right second?"

Waiter, "Yes." ”

Yuo Mishima, "What's the matter?"

Waiter," Mr. Katakura said that he had prepared a special birthday gift for you. ”

Yuo Mishima, "A special birthday present?"

Waiter, "Yes." ”

Yuo Mishima, "Where is he?"

Waiter, "White Bird House." ”

After the waiter finished reporting, Mishima Yuo got up and came to his parents' side to ask for leave.

Yuo Mishima, "Father, I'll go to the bathroom." ”

Akira Mishima, "Bathroom?"

Yuo Mishima, "Yes. ”

Mishima Akira glanced up and down at Yuo Mishima, "Go early and return early." Today is your big day, and so many people have come to celebrate your birthday. Don't get me in trouble!"

Yuo Mishima bowed down humbly, "No." I'll go back as soon as I go. ”

Du Fair and Miyako Kazama parted and returned to their seats, still in their minds. This made the classmates next to him think that it was just influenced by the beauty and charm of Miyako Kazama. This also made the people who didn't like Richu fair very much, and because of the factor of Miyako Kazama, he actually took the initiative to talk to Du fair. The students who came to the Mishima Xiong Boys' Day Banquet with Du Ping this time were all outstanding students in the school, and in their eyes, Du Ping was just the kind of ordinary guy who disappeared in the crowd. Therefore, there have been few people who have taken the initiative to contact Du Pingping. This time, because of the appearance of Miyako Kazama, the situation began to change. And someone took the initiative to come and talk to Du Pingping.

Boy A, "You actually know Miyako Kazama?"

Du Ping nodded, "Yes, Miss Miyako Kazama once interviewed me. You know, my fall was a big news. ”

Boy B, "What a lucky guy!"

Boy A looked incredulous, "But it seems that it's not just a general relationship." ”

"Yes, Miss Miyako Kazama is a very nice person. ”

……

Although he was constantly worried about what the appearance of Aiko Imamiya would mean, Du still had to answer his companions' curiosity about mature and beautiful women.

Of course, calling the police directly is the best way to solve the problem. But if he chooses this method, he will have to face many, many other troubles.

How did you meet Aiko Imamiya?

Why did Aiko Imamiya tell you that?

Aiko Imamiya, what are they going to do?

……

A series of questions, Du Pingping not only had to answer them, but Du Pingping also predicted that the state public security department would join and interrogate. So it's not a very good option. But the end of the river of blood is not what Du Ping wants.

Carefully avoiding people who might be acquainted, Yuo Mishima left the waiter's service and went to the small house known as "Shiratoriya" alone.

Pull open the door, fast forward sideways, and quickly close.

Only then did Yuo Mishima turn his head to look at the position of Katakura's right in the room, and Kenkai Kazuha was also here.

Yuo Mishima, "Katakura, Keni, what's the matter?"

In front of the small wooden table in the center of the house, Katakura Youji and Kenai Kazuha were kneeling there, and a few small piles of leaf-like things were carefully placed on the table. Katakura Youji and Kenai Kazuha looked at Yuo Mishima and smiled mysteriously together.

Katakura right, "I just got the recipe, I just bought it from the great god, and it's said to be very profitable! Would you like to try it?"

Seeing Yuo Mishima coming in, Kazuha Kenkai had already skillfully mixed several different substances together, kneaded them into cigarettes and rolled them up.

Yuo Mishima, "Marijuana?"

Katakura right, "Yes." ”

"It's my birthday! ”

Although Yuo Mishima said this, he still sat down at the small table and moved his body with his head and brain.

Yuo Mishima, "I'm so tired!"

Katakura right, "Then it's a shame!"

At this time, the cigarette roll of Kenkai Kazuha had been ready, and one was sent to Katakura Kazuha's hand, and the other was already in his mouth.

Katakura looked at the big cigarette in his hand, and then at Yuo Mishima opposite, and asked seductively, "Really, don't want it?" The latest recipe is said to be very beneficial!"

Yuo Mishima shook his head, "No." Today is my birthday. ”

Katakura right, "Poor guy!"

Katakura Right Ji and Kenai Kazuha no longer care about Yuo Mishima, and light the marijuana roll in their mouths by themselves. After sucking affectionately, each of them lies on the floor in obsession, as if enjoying some kind of dream.

A mesmerizing aroma of marijuana began to emanate from the room, and Mishima was a little restless.

After a long period of enjoyment, Katakura Right Ji and Kenai Kazuha each breathed a sigh of relief.

Kazuha Fist, "It's really a stake!"

Katakura right, "Sure enough, it's a great god, and the formula is really good!"

Yuo Mishima, "I'm leaving!"

Katakura right, "Then we won't send it!"

Yuo Mishima stood up, and at the moment when he was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly reached out and snatched the big cigarette roll from Katakura's right mouth and put it in his mouth.

Yuo Mishima, "I'll just take a sip." ”

The figure of Miyako Kazama, who Du was looking forward to, did not appear, but Aiko Imamiya did. In an inconspicuous corner of the wall, Aiko Imamiya smiled mysteriously at Du Ping through the crowd.

Although he really didn't want to see Aiko Imamiya again, reason made Du Pingping have to get up quietly and quietly come to Aiko Imamiya.

"You're not looking for me, are you?"

Aiko Imamiya, "You really don't want to see me?"

Du Fair, "Yes. ”

Aiko Imamiya, "Don't worry. I'm leaving!"

"You're leaving?"

Aiko Imamiya smiled, "Yes! I can already leave. ”

"What did you do?"

Aiko Imamiya, "You'll know right away, it's a big surprise!"

When Du Ping still wanted to ask something, Aiko Imamiya had already walked into the crowd and disappeared quietly. When Du Ping was thinking in a daze, a small hand patted him from behind Du Ping. Du turned around and found Miyako Kazama standing behind Du Fair.

Du Ping's face was ugly, "I see her again!"

Miyako Kazama, "Aiko Imamiya?"

Du Fair, "Yes. ”

Miyako Kazama, "Where's she?"

"She said it was done, so she was ready to go." ”

Miyako Kazama was taken aback, "The thing has been done?"

Du Fair, "Yes. ”

Miyako Kazama, "What's the matter?"

"I don't know. ”
