Chapter 119: Tokyoite
In early summer, the relationship between Kentaro Miyamoto and Ayaka Kato warmed up much faster than the weather gradually warmed up. Although the two have not known each other for a long time, they have fallen in love.
Ayaka Kato not only recognized him as her boyfriend, but also deliberately led the other party to meet her parents today.
Kentaro Miyamoto nervously drank two glasses of water in a row, and felt his palms sweating. I didn't expect things to develop to this point, and I didn't expect that Ayaka Kato would be a fairly conservative Japanese girl.
Judging from her fashion dress and dress, anyone would still identify her as an OPEN girl. Kentaro Miyamoto thought so from the beginning.
With the passage of time, my gradual in-depth understanding of Kato Ayaka only realized that he was wrong, really wrong, or very wrong.
Kentaro Miyamoto doesn't know how to end it well. Although it is not the first time he has seen the woman's parents, this time it is different from his own parents who have met Miki Fujiwara, after all, they have known each other since childhood.
My understanding of Kato Ayaka's parents is all from her. I'd never met them before.
In Japan, it is common for people like him to go to see the woman's parents when they are getting married. Of course, as a boyfriend and girlfriend, there are also yes, and it is not uncommon.
Both men and women either fall in love on the premise of marriage, or they are quite serious and serious. Nine times out of ten, it still happens in Japanese girls who are more conservative in their concepts, as well as in traditional Japanese families.
When Ayaka Kato saw him pick up the glass of water and was about to drink the third glass, she couldn't help but laugh, "Don't be nervous, my parents are very kind people."
Kentaro Miyamoto held a glass of water in his right hand, and he still felt guilty in his heart. He felt that he was immoral and had been deceiving her who was kind all along.
If the other party is that kind of open-minded or casual Japanese girl, I will never do this. Although the two have not slept with each other, deceiving other people's feelings is even more filthy and obscene than cheating.
Kentaro Miyamoto raised his head and drank the pure water in the glass in one gulp. He put down the empty cup with a frown.
One of his own, carelessly, knocked over the glass of water, not only made a sound, but also almost fell to the ground and shattered.
When Ayaka Kato saw this, she misunderstood, "Although this shop is considered a high-end place in Futakotamagawa, you don't need to panic."
Kentaro Miyamoto saw that she had misunderstood, and he didn't explain, but just said casually: "I heard, I just heard that the aborigines of the second son, Tamagawa, are not only rich, but also very xenophobic. They can only afford Minato-ku, Chiyoda-ku, Chuo-ku. Other than that, I don't like it."
Ayaka Kato has long heard this kind of rumor from the outside world: "Yes and no. Actually, it mainly depends on the person.
Although Setagaya Ward is known as a wealthy area by many people from outside the world, not all parts of the area are inhabited by wealthy people."
Kentaro Miyamoto said bluntly, "The indigenous people of Tamagawa, the second son, have profited a lot from redevelopment. Otherwise, some of them would not have suffered from persecution paranoia because of their sudden wealth."
Ayaka Kato said truthfully, "I have to admit that the people who live in Futako Tamagawa at the moment, whether they are aborigines or outsiders, do have a sense of superiority to a greater or lesser extent.
This sense of superiority is the same as that of those who live in places where the rich gather. Some women in Nishiazabu, Minato-ku, will be given a special title, Azabu Wife.
Some women in Toyosu, Koto Ward, that is Toyosu women. Who made one of the best places in the whole of Koto Ward out there? Other than that, there is nothing left to do in the entire Koto Ward.
In fact, in the past, people who lived in Koto Ward and Setagaya Ward were considered Shitamachi people. Only those who live in Chuo-ku, Chiyoda-ku, and Minato-ku are considered Uemachi.
With the changes of the times, the development of the city and the economy, Setagaya Ward has been transformed from a rural and rural area in Tokyo in the past, and thus it has become the hot one it is today
A hot area for the rich.
There are indeed quite a few people who live here, and from time to time they will talk about Futakotamakawa or Setagaya Ward. In particular, Tamagawa, the second son, is a core of the Setagaya district."
Kentaro Miyamoto said, "In the final analysis, it is the economic base that determines the superstructure."
Ayaka Kato did not deny his statement, saying, "We are all children from the 23rd ward of Tokyo, and we should have read a book called "The Tale of the 23rd Ward of Tokyo".
Not to mention regional discrimination in Japan. Even in Tokyo's 23rd ward, there is discrimination of one kind or another. Outside of Tokyo's 23 wards, it is not considered Tokyo.
Even if there are several municipalities under the jurisdiction of Tokyo, they will be ignored. Especially outside of Chuo-ku, Chiyoda-ku, and Minato-ku, they are all considered rural areas!"
Kentaro Miyamoto laughed and said, "Kichijoji in Musashino City will still be remembered by many people."
Ayaka Kato said bluntly, "The minimum measure for a native of Tokyo is whether he was born and raised in the 23 wards of Tokyo from his grandfather's generation.
It's better to die, and it's buried in the 23rd ward of Tokyo. Otherwise, they would not be seen as authentic Tokyoite, but as foreigners and countrymen."
Kentaro Miyamoto was not disgusted by her statement. It's not because I'm a native of Tokyo that I don't feel like I'm hurting myself.
In fact, this is a saying that has been widely used in Tokyo for a long time. It has not only been widely recognized among the middle and upper classes of society, but also has been greatly recognized by the middle and lower classes of society.
If you've lived in Tokyo since the Edo period, you're definitely going to have a good background. Even the poor people whose ancestors have lived in straw huts for generations can hardly hide the pride of today's descendants in this one.
Kentaro Miyamoto suddenly smiled and said, "It's definitely not easy to become a native of Tokyo.
First of all, in those years, whether it was on the battlefield or under the three bombings of Tokyo, they were still able to survive.
Secondly, after Japan's defeat in World War II, it was not starved to death during the period of food shortage. Finally, when the Japanese economy was booming, I worked more than ten hours a day and did not die of overwork. Only such ancestors will have descendants who live to this day."
