Honami Nanjo took the microphone and came to the stage: "Hello everyone, I'm Honami Nanjo from Class B in the third year. ”

She changed her outfit again, this time looking like a female artist who had come out to collect style, and wore a soft felt hat that was now popular among artists.

To what extent is this soft hat popular among artists in this era, if you look at the old manga of Osamu Tezuka and Fujiko Fujio, as long as the person who wears this hat must be a painter or a cartoonist, it has become a form of expression of the hierarchy of identity labels.

Nanjo also looks very good in this outfit, and Kazuma always thinks that she is trying not to take the lustful route.

She is determined to distinguish herself from the president.

Nichinan Saina is also pitiful, showing off her most powerful weapon, and then the two main opponents are still not taking it head-on.

Here, one plays the taiko drum and the other plays the piano, both of which are real talents. Although Nanjo may have been required by her family to practice and didn't really like the piano, her level is said to be able to participate in regional competitions.

Without the blessing of talent to practice to this point, she must have invested a lot of energy and effort.

While Kazuma admired Nanjo's "new skin", she continued, "If you just play the piano, it may be a bit high and low, so I decided to work with Mikako Fujii, and I played her and sang. ”

Kazuma stared suspiciously at Mikako who came on stage.

Mikako also changed to a "new skin", this time it was an orthodox Showa idol dress, which was the body when Shoshoko sang the green coral reef.

Kazuma suddenly noticed something, wouldn't it......

Honami Nanjo: "Next, please listen to this song "Blue Reef". ”

Sure enough, it was the song "Blue Coral Reef" that Nichinan Rina had just sung.

Mikako Fujii held the microphone: "I don't sing as well as Nichinan-san, only karaoke level, but Honami said it's okay...... That's why I'm ugly, just listen to her piano, just listen to the piano! ”

Nanjo just smiled, pressed the microphone to the microphone stand next to the piano, sat down generously, pressed a few keys to audition, and then turned his head to signal to Mikako that it was time to start.

Kazuma heard Chiyoko muttering, "Is this really good?" Although Nichinan sings averagely, Mikako's singing is really extraordinary. ”

"Don't tell me, they went to the beauty pageant, I didn't participate in the whole process, and your participation is higher than mine. You're at least in the curtain of the Nanjo family just now. Didn't you listen to them in there? ”

"No, I only heard Mikako complaining that she didn't know what to do for the talent show, so she really couldn't do it but dance the sword."

Kazuma looked at the stage: "Then what's going on now?" ”

Chiyoko shrugged: "I don't know." As I was leaving, I heard Mikako thinking out of her mind, saying that she might as well wear a puppet costume and go up to dance the sword. ”

Kazuma doesn't know what to say about Mikako's whimsy.

"Maybe Nanjo saw that she might be going to make a fool of herself and pulled her?" He uttered what seemed the most plausible guess in his head.

Chiyoko immediately agreed, "It's possible. I suddenly feel that Mikako-senpai is so pitiful, let's prepare some refreshments she likes tonight. ”

At this time, Nanjo began to play the piano.

The original accompaniment of the Blue Reef did not have a piano, but Nanjo changed it to a version with a solo piano accompaniment.

Even people who don't know music can hear that this piano is extremely difficult to play, and in the music game, it is an octopus monster, and the difficulty starts with it.

In the sound of Nanjo's piano, Mikako began to sing.

Then Kazuma understood Nanjo's reason for doing this, and with her level of piano playing, the audience's attention was attracted by the piano and would ignore Mikako's level.

Mikako just needs to stand where Meimei stands, and learn to sway gently from side to side like when Matsu Seiko sings about the green coral reef.

Of course, the song can't be sung too badly, but Mikako's song is honest, and it can be regarded as a level among amateur howling people, at least in the harmonica for 100 days, and the horse is in tune.

In this way, with a singing voice that is okay by ordinary people's standards, and a piano accompaniment that is strong to the point of being foul by ordinary people's standards, the average result is a super powerful performance.

Kazuma noticed that the people around him had begun to sway gently to the melody.

Chiyoko muttered in a low voice, "This ...... The effect is really unexpected, and it's completely like pulling Sister Mikako. But in this way, Mikako-senpai can't raise her head at all in front of Miss Nanjo, right? It's really a maid in Okada's script. ”

When he heard it, he found that it was really a little bit interesting, and Mikako would always be Nanjo's foil in the future? When will childhood sweethearts stand up?

At the end of the song, Mikako held the microphone in one hand and raised the other: "Is it good?" Would you like to hear another one? ”

The person who had just swayed to the music responded unevenly: "Yes! ”

"Then the second song, "Thinking of the Autumn Period"! Honami, music! ”

And Ma babble, this is really another song that Ninan sang just now.

Chiyoko: "This second song looks like Mikako's impromptu idea. ”

Kazuma nodded: "Just listen to Nanjo's piano, this time there is no complicated arrangement, just use the piano to play the main melody of the song, and then add the rhythmic phrases that are constantly repeated." ”

This time, Nanjo's piano is less expressive, but Mikako may have played well and played significantly better than the last time.

Kazuma felt that it was right for her to go to Hinan now, she was pressed to the ground by two powerful enemies with resources far beyond her, and in the end, she was stabbed by Mikako, who was about the same background as her.

"I ...... Leave it for a moment. And Ma said.

"Are you going to find Senpai Nisami?" Chiyoko said, "I don't object, as long as I can increase the income of the dojo, I don't care, but, brother, you also think about how to end up in the end." Japan is a monogamous country!

"But brother, you may be in politics, so I'll not say it."

There are two kinds of people in this country in Japan who will not have an accident even if they are found to have a lover, one is a writer, you see the glorious resume of Osamu Dazai; The other is politicians.

Moreover, this politician covers a wide range of people, including not only politicians, but also military and police officers - of course, after the war, Japan theoretically had no soldiers, and the Self-Defense Forces were all civil servants.

Yamamoto fifty-six had a lover, and when he was torn apart by the aviation faction and the artillery giant ship faction, he once exposed each other's shortcomings in raising a lover, and in the end he was not dealt with by any military law, should he be happy or happy.

Politicians raising lovers are really not even black material in Japan, so it's a big deal to bow and apologize and retreat into the background, and come out again after the limelight has passed. But sexual harassment in public, that's black material, it's very strange.

In contrast, Japanese stars are much more miserable, and derailment will inevitably end if it is exposed.

He Ma ignored his sister's complaints and left the venue directly.

He didn't have any thoughts about Nichinan either, he was desperate to add her to a luxurious lunch or something, there was no such thing.

He just felt that if his own apprentice changed the trajectory of Ninan's life, then he had the responsibility to pull this girl back.

looks like a pretty good girl, you can't let her fall into the quagmire of the entertainment industry like this. If you fall into it, if you really become famous, then it's fine, but most people in the entertainment industry are destined to run along.

As soon as Kazuma arrived at the backstage separated by a curtain, he saw that Rinana had finished changing her clothes and was standing under the awning built by the student union, looking at the stage with her hands on her chest.

There was no one in the executive department of the student union around her, and they were probably all sent to work.

He Ma walked up to her, and before he could speak, the girl spoke first: "Come to appease me, the general of the defeated army?" ”

"It's to clean up the chicken feathers left by the wanton actions of his apprentices." And the horse teased.

"Apprentice?" Nichinan Saina looked at Kazuma in surprise, "Uh...... Referring to the three senior sisters? ”

"Or else? You don't really think we're the kind of relationship that Weekly Fang Chunli has, right? Don't be stupid, you're also a girl, would you allow yourself to be part of the kind of deformed relationship that Weekly Fang Chun depicted? I have a very healthy mentoring relationship with them, and of course I don't deny that they have the idea of turning the mentoring relationship into something else. ”

"Do you know this, or do you maintain the mentor-apprentice relationship?" Nichinan Rina frowned, "It's, it's so bad." While I can't tolerate being part of the kind of relationship that Fang Chun writes about in the weekly, I can't tolerate being part of the reality either. ”

And the horse shrugged: "It's your freedom." I'm just here...... Just feel like you might need to talk to someone. I'm pretty good at giving people advice. ”

After all, he pointed out a knight of the law.

Rinana was silent, as if she wasn't going to speak.

So He Ma continued: "Although the result of the vote is not certain now, after all, there are quite a few people who think with their lower bodies, and they may vote for you in praise of gravity." But ......"

Rikina Hinan smiled: "Praise gravity? That's an interesting statement. Senior, are you actually an interesting person? ”

"There's nothing wrong with that, is it? Gravity, it's really amazing. When he said this, he deliberately looked at Rinan's chest.

Before, he had restrained himself from looking below the girl's neck.

Rinanrina smiled even more happily: "Gravity hehehe......"

"That's not the point. What I'm trying to say is, while you're not necessarily losing yet, you're already throwing in the towel, aren't you? ”

"Sort of." Rina Hinana retracted her smile and looked at the stage, "I've already brought out my best things, and even then I can't win." The world is really unfair. ”

"Yes, some people are born with a golden spoon in their mouths, and some people have gifts from God, although there have always been people who emphasize that I am born to be useful, but even so, there is no equality between talent and talent."

"Senior, are you going to tell me these things that I already know?" Nichinan asked rhetorically.

"Of course not," Kazuma organized his language a little, "Before I preach, let me ask, what is the reason why you want to win?" ”

"Does this need a reason? Whether it's a game or a life, isn't it a matter of course to want to win? ”

"Then your definition of life victory is to sell singles, act in popular national dramas, and finally go to the Red and White Song Club and become a national-level star?"

"I didn't think about it that much, but...... It should be, right? Nichinan replied uncertainly.

"Why do you have to take the road of showbiz?"

"Because...... I'm not bad-looking, am I? It's one of the few talents I have. ”

Kazuma looked at Rinansa's face again, and indeed this girl was good-looking.

When he met his gaze, Rinanrina added: "I don't wear much makeup, because it's hot, I'm busy with work, and it's very troublesome to make thick makeup, and I will be messed up with sweat." ”

"Born beautiful." And Ma said, "Then it's not surprising that you do have such thoughts." But don't you think the odds of debuting in the entertainment industry and then becoming a big star are a bit too low? ”

"Before I became a reader model, I was full of confidence that I could kill all sides with my posture, and I found that the reader models in the same period were very beautiful." Rinana smiled self-deprecatingly.

"My agent is in charge of many reader models at the same time, and I am naïve to be the school girl in my school and the public lover of the boys."

Hema: "There is an old Chinese saying that the strong are the strong, and I am the same in the world of kendo, I think I am already strong, and when I go out of school, I find that strong people like me are everywhere. ”

"But you've already taken the Kuixing Banner, at least you're the No. 1 high school swordsman in Japan, aren't you?"

That's because I'm hanging...... And horses, of course, can't say the same.

"No, because there is still a Jade Dragon Banner Conference in Western Japan, and when I get the Jade Dragon Flag, I can say that I am the strongest swordsman in high school. However, there is not enough time, because by the time the next Jade Dragon Flag Conference is held, I will already be a college student.

"And there is nothing to boast about being the strongest in high school, there are many strong people up there.

"I know that at least two Ultimate Strongmen who hold the title of Juggernaut are still alive."

Rinanrina looked at Kazuma suspiciously: "So, are you trying to persuade me not to be discouraged and to fight in the entertainment industry like you fought in the kendo field?" ”

"No, it's not. I want to say that people like me, who inherited the dojo and should have continued to make great strides into the world of martial arts, chose to enter the University of Tokyo, do you know why? ”

Rina Hinana looked at Kazuma: "Why?" I thought about it before, but I didn't understand it, and I was thinking that I would ask my brother when I had the chance. ”

"Because you don't need the appreciation of others, you don't need to rely on connections and opportunities, as long as you review more fully than other candidates and perform better than others, you can get in. Therefore, if you fail in the university entrance examination, it can only mean that you are not good, and other candidates in the same examination room are stronger than you. It's hard to find an excuse to exonerate yourself. ”

In fact, there are some other reasons, such as someone cheating in the same examination room, or someone impersonating you, but Hema ignored these "small probability events" at this time.

He stretched out his index finger and pointed to Rinansa: "I think you should be admitted to college more than the entertainment industry." If you can be the student council president, it means that you have good grades. I think that's the way to go. ”

Rinanrina shook her head: "Senior, you're a boy, it's okay for you to think like this." I'm a girl, and even if I get admitted to university, I'll just become Mrs. Kuo's reserve. I can't go into politics and I can't ......."

"Why not?" Kazuma interrupted Nichinansato's words, "Japan studied under Britain during the Meiji Restoration, what should be the prime minister now?" ”

Rinana hesitated, she has not yet entered the stage of preparing for the university exam, and the sophomore year of ordinary high school will not take the current international politics exam.

And Nichinan Rina is a girl, and it is normal not to care about international politics.

"Yes...... Don't know, Churchill? ”

"It's Margaret Thatcher."

"Is it a woman?"

"Of course, everyone is called Madame. Japan has always been slow in this regard, but it is foreseeable that in the future, more jobs will be open to women, and the time will come when women can become police officers, producers, diplomats, and even prime ministers. ”

Until the crossing with horses, there was no female prime minister in Japan in the previous life, but there will definitely be one in the future. In Japanese science fiction movies and anime, the image of a female prime minister has already appeared.

For example, the first season of the new TV version of Ghost in the Shell, in which there is an Iron Lady-style female prime minister.

Nichinan was shocked by Kazuma's statement.

"Will that happen...... No way? Japan is a very traditional country......"

"Nope! Yes! If you think about it, in the days of Niijima Yae, girls couldn't even go to school, but after the Meiji Restoration, girls also had the right to go to school.

"Before the war, ordinary full-time universities in Japan did not even accept female students, and girls who wanted to go to university had to go to women's universities. Isn't the former Imperial University of Tokyo also open its doors to girls? ”

Nichinan Saina's mouth was half open, obviously wanting to say something to refute, but he couldn't say it.

At this time, Hema felt that he had regained the feeling he had when the sales representative fooled the foreigner to buy the product.

But just like in his previous life, he can sell the product, provided that the product is really of excellent quality. And the reason why what he said to Nichinansato this time seems to make sense is mainly because - it really makes sense.

Kazuma is just using statements that make sense on the basis of facts that make sense to make it look even more reasonable.

"So?" Nichinan Sato gave up the rebuttal and horses, and directly advanced the topic.

"So, if you don't want to be a big star in the red and white song party, but just want to realize the value of your life, then you don't have to mix in the entertainment industry at all. You can go to university. This will not waste your natural beauty, and beautiful people can eat more everywhere.

"Accordingly, whether you can achieve your goals depends only on whether you can work harder and perform better than other competitors. This is much more than the entertainment industry, at least your fate will be in your own hands, and you can't complain if you lose. What's more, you don't have to sell your hue when you go to college. ”

Rinanrina nodded thoughtfully: "Senior, what do you say...... Well, it seems to make a lot of sense. I will seriously consider the words of my seniors. ”

Kazuma's gaze moves to the top of Nichinansa's head, and then finds that there are no entries.

Sure enough, it's not so easy to generate entries.,There's not even a limited-time entry for this operation.。

At this time, Rinanrina suddenly smiled: "I always feel that the senior is particularly concerned about whether I will sell my hue to engage in pillow business?" ”

"Sort of, I don't want to see one day in the future my lovely juniors wash their faces with tears all day long because the pillow business did not get the expected results." And the horse responded in a mocking tone.

"Ah, is that all? Don't you want me to be your apprentice? ”

Facing the sudden straight ball, Kazuma smiled: "It's not that I don't have this kind of thought, after all, I'm short of money now, and it's always good to have an extra tuition." ”

Rinana looked at Kazuma in surprise: "You...... Do you care about tuition? ”

"Or else? My sister has been egging me to drag you into the dojo so that I can collect your tuition. ”

Rinanrina was silent for a second before pointing to her chest: "Senior, aren't you interested in this?" ”

He Ma hesitated, saying that he was not interested, it must be fake, but he readily admitted that he was interested, and it was too straightforward, what should he do......

"What," Rinana said with a relieved look, "I'm still interested." I thought you were too immune, senior. ”

"Does it matter if the meat is interested or not?" And Ma asked rhetorically, "You don't like me again." ”

"I don't like it, I don't like it now, but if you go to learn kendo from your senior, maybe you'll like it."

Kazuma heard her thoughts, so he asked directly, "But you don't want to come to me to learn kendo, do you?" ”

"If I wasn't a reader model anymore, I'd go. At this stage, I still want to try to see how far I can go. When I can't go on without selling my hue, I'll come back and prepare for the university entrance examination with peace of mind, and then go to the seniors to learn kendo. When the time comes, senior, please be sure to accept me who is in tatters physically and mentally. ”

"Quit before your body and mind are in tatters! Can you cherish yourself? ”

"Hahaha, it's a figure of speech. I was about to be persuaded by my agent, thinking that I was also selling my hue by taking swimsuit photos in magazines, and it wasn't impossible to sell more. But today, I suddenly realized that even if I sell hue, I won't necessarily win, and then you'll come over, senior. ”

Rinan Rina stood up and deepened her waist: "I figured it out, and when I turned around, I explained to the agent that I would never do anything in the pillow business, and the work should be drastically reduced after speaking." After all, I'm just a reader model, and I haven't officially signed a contract. ”

Kazuma was about to say something, but Rinanrina suddenly bowed to him: "Thank you, senior." ”

It's not a senior, it's a senior.

After straightening her waist, she was the heroic student council president Ninanri again.

Kazuma double-checked the top of her head, not seeing the entry.

However, this time, I should have turned Nichinan Rina's life back on the normal track?

As for when she will come to the dojo to learn kendo, Kazuma decided not to think about this kind of thing, maybe one day in the future she wants to learn, so she will come directly.

Rinana said with a smile: "I have the flyer of the kendo hall of my predecessors, and it will pass when I want to learn." If you can't get into the University of Tokyo, the persuasiveness of the rhetoric just made to me will be sharply reduced, and then I may have to go to the showbiz again to realize the value of life.

"It's time to vote, I'm going to take the stage."

After speaking, Nichinan Ri Cai walked to the stage with light steps.

And the horse watched her in the same place.

**

In the final result, Nichinan Sato lost to Honami Nanjo by a slight disadvantage and was relegated to second place.

She ran over to Kazuma and said, "Senior, look, at least I won the taikoto!" ”

Before she could talk back to Ma, she was called away by a member of the student council executive committee in the distance.

Chiyoko, who was beside Kazuma, squinted at her brother: "Brother, she has been teased like this by you, why don't you come to learn kendo?" Are you really soliciting? ”

"I have! Also, what does it mean to 'flirt like this', isn't it normal for her? ”

"She's changed her name to you!"

"The seniors are not much different from the seniors?"

"But it's absolutely suspicious to suddenly change your name! No, I'm going to report it to the seniors! ”

"No, you wait for me! I didn't do anything, why should I be said to be like a scumbag being caught? ”

"I don't care, I'm going to sue, now, right away! Ah, the eggs are right over there! ”
