063 Two generations

Parliamentarian Yasuhiko Asakura is not at his home at this time, and his wife is definitely not at home now anyway.

He was sitting in the living room of the landlord's house of an apartment next to the Kanda River.

For example, there is a place in Tokyo called Asakusa, and there is a temple called Sensoji Temple in that place, which has become a very famous tourist destination.

According to the Chinese routine, the low prices around Sensoji Temple will rise, but not in Tokyo.

Before Sensoji became famous, there were a large number of slums around it, and the land price was very low.

Along the Kanda River, there is a famous slum area where there are a large number of cheap apartments, and since the Taisho period, it has been a popular place for college students to study in Tokyo to seek rent.

There are a large number of low-rent apartments on both sides of the Kanda River, and for university students living here, opening the window and seeing the Kanda River is a familiar scenery in their daily life.

Right now, Yasuhiko Asakura, a member of the Senator, is looking at the Kanda River in the night.

The owner of the apartment he was in, who was also the landlady, was sitting in the corner of the room in a cheap kimono, playing the shamisen.

Just then, the apartment's landline phone rang, but the ringing stopped abruptly, and it was clear that someone immediately picked up the phone.

Moments later, there was a knock on the door of the room.

"Come in." Yasuhiko Asakura replied softly.

A bodyguard in a suit opened the sliding door and entered the room, came to Asakura Yasuhiko and whispered a few words in his ear.

"Got it." Senator Asakura nodded, then waved his hand to let the bodyguard leave.

After the bodyguard opened the door and left, the landlady, who was still playing the shamisen, said, "The call is here, it's Komuro's chief of staff, right?" ”

"Well, I've told him many times, don't call here, I'll talk about it the next day. But it didn't work. ”

Senator Asakura continued to look out the window at the Kanda River.

The landlady continued to play the shamisen and didn't ask any more.

Time flowed quietly for a while, and suddenly Senator Asakura spoke, "Do you remember those days of sharing a house?" ”

"Almost forgotten." The landlady replied softly, "Almost." ”

They were talking about the events of Yasuhiko Asakura, who had just been admitted to the Faculty of Political Science at Keio University, which had resumed enrollment just after the end of the war.

It's been 34 years.

At that time, Yasuhiko Asakura was 23 years old, and the time that should have been spent in college was spent at the oil station at the anchorage of the Naval Pillar Island.

After the war, Yasuhiko Asakura returned to university, and after 34 years of struggle, he became a well-known member of the Young Zhuang Parliament.

The short life of sharing a house on the banks of the Kanda River is just a small part of the long 34 years.

In the history of the Asakura family, it is not worth mentioning at all.

However, just a few years ago, musicians under the care of Yasuhiko Asakura wrote a song called "Kanda River" to commemorate that time, which tells the story of the sweet and fearful future between a college student couple who share a house.

Under the operation of Yasuhiko Asakura, this song was on the sales gold song list of that year, appeared on the Red and White Song Battle (equivalent to the Spring Festival Gala in Japan), and was adapted into a movie the following year.

Ordinary people basically don't know what Senator Asakura has worked on this matter, and no one even notices the relationship between the entire development process of this song and Senator Asakura.

Yasuhiko Asakura shifted his seat, sat directly from the window to the windowsill, and put his hand on the iron railing outside the windowsill.

The landlady watched his movements, stopped playing the shamisen, and asked, "Looks like you're in a good mood today?" It's the first time you've used this sitting position since you've been suffering from rheumatism, right? ”

"Is it the first time? Ah, maybe. I just suddenly want to sit like this. ”

"Did you find a young man who reminded you of the past?"

Yasuhiko Asakura didn't answer, just looked out the window, as if immersed in memories.

Seeing this, the landlady plucked the strings of the shamisen again.

This time, she played the melody of "Kanda River".

Yasuhiko Asakura gently slapped his hand on the paddle.

At the end of the song, Asakura Yasuhiko spoke: "Sure enough, I am no longer young, and I can't go back to the past days." Now I can only spend the rest of my life as a scheming Senator of Asakura. ”

"There's nothing wrong with that." The landlady said.

"yes, there's nothing wrong with that." Asakura Yasuhiko sighed, and changed his words, "My youngest son has betrayed me. ”

"Kang Chun? It's a pity, but he's never been a worry-free kid, has he? ”

"Yes, I hope he can play his role well this time. It's not completely useless, at the very least. ”

"Are you going to prepare the touchstone again? This time, it's Kang Chun who sings this role again? ”

"I hope from the bottom of my heart he doesn't push himself into that position every time." Asakura Yasuhiko looked quite regretful, "If Kang Chun is a girl, then everything will be much easier, and I don't have to worry about it so much." ”

Asakura Yasuhiko pouted: "Forget it, don't talk about it." Let's do "Kanda River" again. ”

"Of course, anytime." The landlady played the shamisen again, this time with the lyrics.

You may have forgotten about it

Use a red handkerchief as a scarf

The two walked into the bathhouse on the street together

We said we'd come out together

It's always me waiting outside

……

The landlady sang softly, slapping Yasuhiko Asakura softly.

The melodious melody echoes the sound of drizzling rain and trickling water outside the window.

**

Kiryu and Ma didn't know that they had another chasm to cross in front of them.

He slept soundly, got up early in the morning, touched the harmonica first, played a piece of the star, and made sure that his muscle memory was still there.

I finally learned this song in the last period of time with the BUFF from the beginning.,If you forget it, won't it be a big loss?

After blowing the place where the stars were, Kazuma got dressed and went to the kitchen.

"Brother, you played last night's tune early in the morning?" Chiyoko was busy in the kitchen as usual, and when she saw Kazuma coming in, she asked, "That song is really good, is it really composed by you, brother?" ”

"Yes," and Ma Dayan was ashamed to turn the tune into his own tune, anyway, the person who really created the tune may still be learning basic music theory knowledge, plagiarism in a time machine, can that be considered plagiarism?

"What, you don't believe it?" And Ma asked Chiyoko.

"I can't help but believe it, you've written it all after all. I just think it's so unreal, that scrap wood brother has suddenly become a strong man with both civil and military skills, and people can't help but wonder if you have been taken away. ”

Sister, you have seen through the truth!

But Chiyoko's next sentence made Kazuma cry and laugh.

"If it's really taken away, I hope you never change back, brother, I like the current brother more than the previous waste brother."

He Ma pursed his lips, thinking that when he died in the future, he saw the original owner of this body below, and he must write a tragic word on his leg.

At this time, the doorbell rang, and Kazuma speculated that either the chairman of the committee had come or Nanjo-san.

"I'll open the door." He said to the horse, yawned and came to the entrance, opened the door and went out.

The answer was that the chairman and Nanjo-san arrived at the same time.

Kazuma sighed: It seems that the dojo will be thundering and lightning since early in the morning.
