Although the egg only won the third place, he didn't seem to care at all, and he met with the horse with a relaxed face.

"Why do I feel like you've got your plan? You only finished third. Kazuma asked suspiciously.

The chairman of the committee spread his hands: "Because I just succeeded in my plan." ”

"What's the plan?" And Ma couldn't help but ask.

Chairman: "It's a big fuss, and it leaves a strong mark on the last cultural festival of high school." ”

The Kiryu siblings looked at her with suspicion.

Kazuma: "Really? ”

Egg nodded: "Really." ”

Chiyoko digressed the topic: "It's hard to play taiko drums, isn't it?" I can't see that the senior sister of Jinguji Temple is quite muscular. ”

"No, I'm stubborn, now my muscles are starting to ache because of overdraft, and I guess I won't even be able to lift my hands tomorrow." The chairman looked depressed, and he looked really worried about his muscle soreness tomorrow.

She behaved so realistically that Kazuma couldn't help but believe it.

"The rest is the night after night." Chiyoko said, "People outside the school can't participate in the night festival, so I'll go home first and wait for you to come back." ”

Kazuma grabbed Chiyoko's arm: "Don't, Nanjo has greeted the headmaster over there, you can stay and participate in the night festival, it's safer." ”

"Oh. But what about Shigeru? Theoretically, Shigeru could be targeted, isn't it? ”

"Yes, but Shigeru is a boy, and it is a man's duty to encounter evil and then fight." "What would he think if I said to Shigeru, 'I'm worried about your safety, you kept me in my sight'?" ”

Chiyoko raised an eyebrow.

"Hmm...... I don't understand, I'm a woman. Chiyoko said, "But, brother, I remembered that when you said that, that night, when you went to dismantle the Tsuda Group alone, I was going crazy with worry." It's best not to have such a thing in the future, whether it's you or Ageru, it's forbidden for you to run away to do great things with the consciousness that you can't come back. ”

Chairman: "It's probably impossible, you either have to get used to waiting at home, or you can go into battle with him yourself." ”

Chiyoko turned her head to look at the chairman, and was about to speak, when Mikako's voice came from a distance: "Kazuma!" Look, MISS Beigao, I got it! ”

Kazuma looked up and complained: "It's clear that the light of the sticky Nanjo only got it, what do you have to worry about." ”

In the final vote, Nanjo and Mikako were counted as a group, so this time there was an unprecedented tie for Miss Hokkaika.

"Hmph," Mikako ignored Kazuma's complaints, "My looks and talent have finally been recognized by everyone!" And horses, you have to cherish me a little more! ”

"Okay, okay, I'll definitely cherish it more." And the horse said.

"It's insincere." Mikako pursed her lips, but immediately laughed again, "Forget it, happy today, so be it." ”

The chairman of the committee suddenly said: "Mikako's second song "Siqiu Period" is really good. ”

"Look! Eggs are understood! Mikako immediately went over and put her arms around Danzi's shoulders, "Sure enough, they're good sisters." However, it's a pity that you drum, how handsome you are. These people don't know how to appreciate. ”

The chairman just smiled.

At this time, the voice of Nichinan Ri Nai came from the loudspeaker: "This is the student council president, and everyone can move freely until the night after the festival." The executive committee members of the festival will now meet at the student union office. The night after the festival will start at seven o'clock in time tonight. ”

The chairman looked up at the megaphone and said, "I have regained that heroic feeling." ”

As she spoke, she looked at the horse and the horse.

"It's very different from the second time she took the stage."

And the horse pretends to look at the scenery.

Chiyoko sold him directly: "That's right! I remember, I'm going to sue! I was expecting my brother to enlighten the president in the past and increase the income of the dojo a little, but he only picks up girls and doesn't pull business, which makes me look forward to it in vain! ”

The girls looked at the horses together.

He Ma spread his hands together: "I'm just going to share a little life experience with her." ”

Chairman: "What will you eat later?" ”

Chiyoko: "Wait a minute, is it just not to hold my brother accountable?" ”

"There's nothing to be held accountable, whether there are new apprentices in the dojo or not, it doesn't really have anything to do with our old apprentices. Theoretically speaking, the operation status of the dojo has nothing to do with us. ”

Chiyoko tilted her head: "Hey, it seems to be ...... That's right. ”

After all, whether it is the chairman of the committee or Nanjo, including Mikako, they are just apprentices who come to the dojo to learn kendo, not "hostess", that is to say, if you really want to be more serious, only Chiyoko has the right to urge Kazuma to find a new apprentice to subsidize the family.

"So what are you going to eat later?" The chairman repeated his own question and looked at Nanjo and Mikako.

"After a simple meal, I also made an appointment with the family restaurant for a celebration banquet in the evening, didn't you?" Nanjo said.

Listening to the girls discussing what to eat later, he thought that this peaceful daily feeling was not bad.

**

In the evening, half past 18.

Students from Bei Ge's High School have returned to school one after another, gathering on the playground.

The executive staff of the student council is doing the final inspection before the campfire is lit, and the disaster prevention staff of the ward office is in charge of guiding them.

For the boys of Hokkazu High School, inviting their favorite girls to dance the folk dance is the meaning of the existence of this festival and even the entire cultural festival.

Because of this, the playground where the night festival will be held is filled with the atmosphere of youth.

"I'm sorry." Honami Nanjo bowed to the boy who came to invite him, "I already have a candidate to dance together, so please ask Gao Ming." ”

"Yes, that's right." The boy who came to invite looked at Kiryu and Ma behind Honami with a complicated expression, "Sorry to disturb me." ”

With that, he turned and ran away.

Mikako said to Nanjo, who turned back, "The fifth one today? ”

"Hmm. It's a bit surprising that there are so many. ”

"It should be the reason why you were elected to MISS North High School in the afternoon." Mikako Fujii said.

"If that's the reason, you'll probably be invited." Nanjo teased, "You're also Miss Kitaka." ”

"I'm Green Leaf."

Kazuma: "You don't have to be so presumptuous, at least I'll invite you." ”

At the Beigao Cultural Festival in the previous two years, Mikako was invited by Madu to dance the folk dance. And the horse is also very strange.,Thinking that before I crossed over to take the house.,No matter how the original owner looks at it, he has a leg with Mikako.,It's really strange that this isn't in a relationship.,Shouldn't the normal situation be fast-forwarded to name the child?

Fujii Mikako looked nostalgic: "I was the only one who danced the folk dance with you last year." Obviously I came first......"

At this time, the chairman of the committee who rejected a few girls who came to invite him to dance with him also joined the dialogue: "Last year's He Ma Jun is not worthy of being surrounded by our stars and moons. ”

"Hmm...... You're right to say that, think about it carefully, the previous He Ma Jun never made me have the idea of 'I want to fall in love with him', I only treat him as a good brother. Mikako looked up at the starry sky that was gradually revealing her figure, and recalled, "It feels like everything has changed since the sudden death of Kiryu's parents at the beginning of this year.

"After that, Kazuma was like a different person."

And Ma thought to himself, that is a different person.

At this time, they suddenly heard someone cheering in the distance, so everyone stopped chatting and looked in the direction from which the cheers came.

Rina Hinana came out of the school building with a torch.

It's like the Olympic torch relay.

She walked her way through the crowd on the playground under the watchful eye of everyone, and finally came to the square stack of firewood.

She carefully lit the fare at the bottom of the campfire, then threw the torch on top of the fire, then took a few steps back to distance herself.

The bonfires burn violently in the autumn breeze and quickly become quite spectacular.

After confirming that the bonfire was fully lit, Rinanri took the loudspeaker from the hands of the members of the executive department behind him and announced loudly: "The North Ge High School Cultural Festival, the night after the festival has officially begun!" ”

The music of the folk dance resounded through the school's loudspeakers.

The boys and girls on the playground who had just finished pairing looked at each other shyly, and then held hands.

Kazuma also stretched out his hand, grabbed Nanjo with one hand, and Lamaga with the other, and said, "Let's go." ”

The chairman waved his hand: "Jump happily." ”

In this way, the cultural festival, which has become a legend, came to an end in an unexpected calm.

**

After the cultural festival, not only the small group of Hema, but also the entire senior year of high school devoted themselves to preparing for the exam.

I don't know if it's affected by the fact that Kiryu and Ma, the tail of the crane, want to take the entrance examination to Tokyo University, but this year's new graduates of Kitagashi High School have chosen to go on to higher education.

And the schools that everyone chooses are all of a certain grade, giving people a feeling of "even Kazuma chose Tokyo University, if I choose a pheasant school, it will be too embarrassing".

The teachers of the school also echoed the students and opened a bunch of small stoves for different schools.

The atmosphere of the whole senior high school made Hema feel like he was preparing for the third year of high school.

Especially the piled up of reference books on the desk, this feeling is too familiar, but unfortunately Japan does not have a "five-year college entrance examination three-year simulation", so after all, it is still a little bit of taste.

On the dojo side, the publicity effect of the last incident is decreasing at a speed that is visible to the naked eye.

On the first weekend after the festival, there were only three people who came to visit the dojo on Saturday, and no one came to visit the dojo on Sunday.

"What can I do?" After sending off the girls on Sunday, Chiyoko complained loudly in front of Kazuma, "Not only do you not add new students, but you can't even make money for the trainees now." There is still a big gap in the tuition fee for the first year at the University of Tokyo. And that's not even counting the money you will have to buy new revision materials later, brother. ”

Hearing Chiyoko's complaints, Shigeru poked his head out of the guest room where he was staying and asked, "Why don't I go and work a few more jobs?" This way I can pay back my dad's money faster......"

"No, no, you have to be fast enough now, I have already included the money you paid back when I calculated, so it doesn't matter if you are here." Chiyoko waved her hand, "You can be careful not to fall ill, once you fall ill, the money for medical treatment can keep you busy for the previous months." ”

"I will. I feel that practicing kendo has improved my physical fitness a lot, and I feel that I can collapse even tighter. As he spoke, he looked down at his hand, his fingers open and clenched, repeating the action as if to confirm his newfound strength.

Kazuma looked at Shigeru and asked, "Is it okay to study over there?" ”

"No problem, I feel like in a few months, I'll be able to finish all the content in junior high school." Mao blushed slightly, "I'm sorry, Master, you are so busy, and I want you to teach me the knowledge of junior high school." ”

"No, teaching you is also a kind of review, and the chairman agreed." And the horse said, "It's time to eat, you come here." ”

"No, I'll eat ...... in my room by myself."

"If I ask you to come over, you will come, what nonsense is this?" And the horse waved impatiently.

Shigeru is still reluctant to eat with the Kiryu family, as if he feels that he is an outsider, and it is not good to eat at the table like this.

But the master's order is absolute for the disciple, and he can only come over honestly.

While serving everyone a meal, Chiyoko continued to mumble: "I hope there will be a new apprentice next week, but now the dojo's monthly income is less than 100,000 yen, so I can't save any money at all." ”

"So if I play a little more......"

"Shigeru, shut up." Chiyoko speaks in the tone of an older sister speaking to her younger brother.

Shigeru shut up decisively.

Kazuma comforted Chiyoko: "Aren't you going to Taiying's new film as a martial arts instructor in the future, the commission should be a lot, and maybe you can bring a few stars over to practice kendo." ”

"It would be better to do so. You also said before that Senior Sister Lari Nan came over, what about the people? ”

And the horse stopped talking.

And just like that, another week passed the days of calm but poverty.

On the first Saturday and Sunday in October - there is no long holiday in Japan - the first Saturday and Sunday in October, Wama and the girls were studying around the table in the dojo when they suddenly heard the doorbell ring.

Chiyoko's voice rang out in the corridor outside the dojo: "It's coming, it's coming." ”

Then there was the sound of her footsteps running to answer the door, and she could be heard saying as she ran: "Our family doesn't want to order a new newspaper or get a credit card." ”

Mikako muttered quietly: "I think there have been more encyclopedias sold recently, my mother has been persuaded by the salesman to buy two encyclopedias, saying that it can help our family stand at the forefront of the times." ”

"Ah, the encyclopedia sellers are coming to us, too." He Ma responded, in fact, when it came to the salesman who sold encyclopedias, He Ma couldn't help but think of the Japanese ** godfather he had heard of in his previous life, he was a salesman who sold encyclopedias before he entered the SQ industry.

Later, based on his deeds, a Japanese drama called "Nude Supervision" was adapted.

When Kazuma was thinking about it, he heard Chiyoko shouting from the entrance: "Brother, you come!" ”

He Ma and the girls glanced at each other, put down the half-finished test paper and stood up, walked to the door in the direction of the corridor with a puzzled expression, and looked down the corridor to the entrance.

Then he saw Rina Hinana standing in the hallway, and as soon as she saw Kazuma, she bowed and said, "I'm here, senior." Or should I call you a master? ”
