tokyo voice

I tried to speak lightly, but the invisible pressure I encountered at that time was far heavier than the description.Perhaps the stabbing knife was not sharp, even rusty and full of gaps, but there were hundreds of such knives, day after day, no matter how blunt they were, they still cut the pain.

"That's a bunch of boring people." Yin Ze would say after being silent.

"There is a more boring person, do you know?" Haneda Mari asked suddenly.

"Huh? What?" The boy asked puzzled when he caught something changed in her words.

The girl smiled, not the armor-like smile that was used to deal with the situation, but a real smile, as beautiful as a red cherry in March.

"I went to a coffee shop with my 'friends' from the small group that I finally joined. We agreed to a girl's tea party in the middle and joined boys from another school because of the 'friends'. Then I was deliberately mentioned as a model, and It was shown on mobile phones in public.”

"At that time, I really couldn't hold back, and used the toilet to deal with the pent-up tears."

"As a result, as soon as I came out, I met a waiter who was obviously a student."

Mari Haneda looked at him.

"He said 'come on' to me nervously, and then ran away."

"Didn't you do more?" Yin Ze asked after thinking about it.

"Yeah, why not do more? I didn't even realize it."

Mari Haneda just looked at him and asked repeatedly.

"Curious and surprised. Anyway, I came here alone later, and when I was ordering, I grabbed the cowardly looking guy and questioned him. Do you know what he said?"

"what?"

"He also revealed the fact that he was bullied. Really, how can there be such a stupid and stupid person."

The girl couldn't help laughing out loud as she spoke, but stopped again, her head gradually lowered.

"That's really the worst way I've ever heard, and the crudest way of comforting people I've ever seen."

"Indeed, it's quite complicated."

Mari Haneda remained silent for a while, pursed her lips, and then spoke softly.

"Takizawa-kun, thank you."

The boy put down the oden stick in his hand, opened his mouth, and wanted to say something, but it stopped in his chest.Because there is a warm current shuttling near the atrium.

You may never know who you have hurt and who you have unintentionally pulled.After all, we have to meet countless encounters and partings every day. Some people may meet once in a lifetime, and then pass by in a hurry, disappearing in the crowd.

What he didn't expect was either.

The boy who wrote such a diary of grief and indignation, the boy who suffered alone, and thought he was worthless, also had moments of courage.

That kindness and enthusiasm flowed through the streets and alleys, riding on the wings named Yuan, and returned through time and dreams.

Yin Ze covered his chest, closed his eyes, and answered for that person.

"Thank you, I'm happy to hear thanks."

The sun sets between the tall buildings, slowly ushering in a somewhat cold night, the lights of thousands of houses are lit up one by one, and even the crows are circling, looking for their nests and returning.

"We met twice without a word. One was in a coffee shop, and the other was in a training institute at Riboken." Mari Haneda patted her face with the palm of her hand, got up with a plastic bag, and walked out, "But from now on, There is no need to meet up in such a surprise."

"Have you gone back?" Yin Ze breathed into the palm of his hand and asked.

"Well, no matter how late it is, my brother will starve to death." The girl stuck out her tongue and walked away with light steps.

But after only a dozen steps, Haneda Mari turned around again, this time waving her hands vigorously, and her long reflection was dragged out on the street at sunset.From far away, I can see her smile, it is the cherry blossom tree under the spring anger, tender and warm.

She took a deep breath and exhausted her strength.

"see you later--!!"

What she shouted was so hot and loud that it overturned all the indifference and tranquility so far, even pedestrians strolling on the street looked sideways at her, and the cats walking under the telephone pole turned their heads in amazement.

"Hmm!" The boy waved his arms exaggeratedly.

Mari Haneda, who received an ideal response, smiled, turned and walked away.

Yin Ze picked up a string of fish tofu after watching her disappear.

What a nice woman.

He stretched.

After the sunset, it will usher in a night from blue to ink.

Borrow Nebula.

After a short slumber.

see you soon.

The words are full of covetous beauty

"Generally speaking, every student who walks into my office will be so reserved, reserved and stable. Not to mention the iron face and steel heart, at least they are sitting upright."

"It must be that they have violated school rules, have a guilty conscience, or are eager to stand out and chase fame and fortune, so they are impetuous. I am not among them, and I don't have that kind of worldly desire. Naturally, I can be with the light, happy and calm." Facing the court tyrant's summons, Yin Ze was neither humble nor overbearing, and behaved decently.

This is where the staff of the University of Tokyo's Faculty of Letters work.

director's office.

In the spacious room, there are two bookshelves against the wall, filled with heavy paper books and documents, including famous classics and unheard of literature, presumably all of them are reading volumes. Long my own collection and favorite.

Beside the wooden square table, there is a well-behaved parrot on the bird stand. It likes to tilt its head to look at people and repeat greetings like "Hello".There is no cage or prison, but it does not flap its wings casually, and occasionally flies to the branches outside the window, and then returns back in a nostalgic and sensible way.

On the whitewashed walls, there are many black-and-white photos with a sense of time, most of which are group photos with authoritative figures in the literary world, commemorative photos of various academic associations, and so on.

Hanging in the middle is a painting of Wuliu Shudao. On the rice paper, it is written "one period, one meeting, one word becomes a Buddha".The pen is heavy and thick, showing the ideas and pursuits of old scholars.

The research materials and annotations spread out on the table are also in multiple languages, revealing the dean's profound knowledge.

Dazzlingly, in the sea of ​​books of all kinds, there is actually a Chinese version of "Swordsman".

Yin Ze smiled knowingly, it seems that the teacher is a sensitive person.

Huh?And the collection of Junichi Watanabe?

Yin Ze smiled knowingly, it seems that the teacher is indeed a sweetheart!

"I have met many impressive juniors, even so, I have to say that you are very special." Onishi Chuansuke put down the pen in his hand, his eyes were deep, "... After all, you are the first one to hold a roast chicken The student sitting across from me."

"This is the hot item on the third floor with the highest per capita consumption in the canteen on campus. Only 100 pieces are sold at noon every day. After I lined up to get it, I wanted to deal with it first, but when I heard it was urgent, I had to be rude. " Yin Ze apologized, considering that the gentleman is far away from the kitchen, he removed the fragrant packaging bag.

"I'm not being rude, I just haven't eaten yet."

"?"

"Hehe, the canteen of our school has a history of many years. When I was a poor student in the past, I often waited for everyone to fill up the meal before eating the leftover cold soup, because it would be cheaper." The dean nodded and said from the past.

"The past that never knocked you down will turn into your strength. It's just that now that you have achieved success and fame, it's a bit hypocritical to recall bitterness and think about sweetness. How about it, let me fulfill the teacher's regret at the beginning, and I will go to the cafeteria to bring you a fresh meal , okay?" Yin Ze said passionately.

"That's so troublesome, this chicken, we will eat together." The old scholar said and rolled up the sleeves of his old suit.

"..."

Clear the documents to both sides, untie the delicate package, put on the attached gloves, and the two began to enjoy the famous Dongda Roast Chicken.Fat but not greasy, charred on the outside and tender on the inside, juicy and smooth, with an excellent taste.

"I don't know the dean, what can I do for you?" Yin Ze looked at the old man who was feasting and asked.

"What do you think?" the old scholar said half-jokingly.

hiss--

This answer made him commit PTSD.

Words that seem to have no clear meaning are actually full of deep meaning. This can be used as a starting point for a salary cut.It can also be an empty-handed white wolf who does not recruit himself and exposes fishing and mistakes at work.Unchangeable and ever-changing, all phenomena are hidden in the forest, as soon as it is exported, blood will be seen.

"Students are stupid." Yin Ze backhanded a nonsense pretending to be naive.

"Nothing, guess." Onishi Chuansuke smiled.

"Could it be that I didn't actively participate in the previous class activities, which violated the school's spirit of unity?" The man threw out a small bait.

"Whether others are lonely or not is our own decision, we have no right to interfere or even blame." The dean shook his head.

"That was when I was reading light novels on my mobile phone in class, but I forgot to mute the volume. The melodious house songs resounded in the lecture hall. The teacher was angry and punished me for reading light novels in public. Is it insulting to the school?"

"My job requires you to be exposed to these things. It is understandable. Besides, I heard that you are quite devoted to reading and have a strong ability to empathize. Except that the content is a bit difficult to wait for the elegant hall, it is like a one-person drama. There's an invitation. It's kind of an interesting conversation."

"Could it be that the attendance rate is so worrying that the teacher thinks that something unexpected happened to me, so he doesn't call my name by default?"

"Since I promised earlier that as long as I pass the make-up exam, I don't care about these things. I'm still a bit thin here." The dean thought for a while, "Of course, it's best if you try to prove that you didn't have a car accident. "

"Then I didn't do anything else..."

"Hey, think about it carefully, what kind of activities are going on in the school recently?" The dean tore off a chicken leg and reminded.

Yin Ze stared at the meaty and thick-skinned chicken leg. Hearing the words, he pondered for a moment, and then a spark flashed in his mind.

"Oh, I remembered, the school seems to be holding a top ten singer contest these days. You must want me to sign up and shine. But I'm really not this kind of material. I used to record songs for idol games, and the tuner was rejected. I'm forced to work overtime. I understand your expectations, and I'm not going to make a fool of myself." The man said, busy tearing off another chicken leg.

"Don't worry, you bastard, you won't be able to use your talent this time."

"What do you mean?"

"I need your hue." The dean, who was nearly seventy years old, said seriously.

"???"

It was so shocking that the chicken legs almost fell off my fingers.

"In addition to the singer contest, aren't the students also planning the most beautiful face in Dongda recently?" the dean knocked on the table.

"...Uh, a college beauty pageant? Winning the school belle or grass?" Yin Ze asked tentatively.

"good."

"With all due respect, if you and I are such a noble and independent existence, why should we pay attention to such vulgar activities?" Yin Ze felt puzzled.

"It is true that skin and flesh are not as shining as the soul. But appearance is always the first to attract others. Since ancient times, we humans have this bad habit of paying attention to appearance. You have to know that not everyone appreciates the beauty of the inside The dean sighed, "At times like this, the fire of gossip is ignited by the masses, the attention is soaring, and the number of Internet searches is rising, but ordinary people outside the school don't care about our annual paper output. , research results. They are here for beauty. However, the results of each election are often not satisfactory."

"In order to fight back against the criticism of mediocrity, we need a beauty to stand up and save us... No, we don't need to save our size and status anymore? We don't even need to promote it." Yin Ze said strangely.

"No. The serious imbalance in the ratio of men and women in our school has always existed. On a larger scale, it can be extended to gender differences in treatment. On the small scale, there is a lack of a harmonious campus atmosphere, and every time you have a friendship with another school, you can't hold your head up. .Especially those in Waseda, who always take advantage of the dangers of others, add insult to injury, and hold election activities at the same time. They are all ladies and young masters who can afford high tuition fees. !"

The dean was filled with anger, waving the chicken leg in his hand like a big knife, and the oil on the corner of his mouth was like the blood of the enemy.

"In the past few years, although the majesty of Dongda University has not fallen, it has become a bit old-fashioned. Students and parents all over the country recognize our strength, but they faintly feel that Dongda University wears thick glasses, dull and introverted, and does not understand fashion. The pedantic. Even Kyoto University thinks that the students are independent, and every gesture is the joyful daily life of performance art, which further expands the intimacy, and even soars overseas popularity. We have to carry the burden of the old era! Ridiculous! When I did When exercising, they don't know where they are—!"

"Uh, is it that serious?" Yin Ze scratched his head.

"Except for the ace major, everyone is similar to each other. At this time, the construction of campus culture plays a key role. We must maintain the long history and glory of Yigao and continue it. Let those who peep at the throne retreat without fighting !” said the dean in an eloquent voice.

"Then, what should I do?" Yin Ze felt that he might not be able to escape this important task.

"Do you still remember being photographed by a member of the photography department when eating alone?"

"It seems to be the case."

"It is said that the price of a meal was exchanged for the right to use, so that member threw the photo into the audition, and now he has been shortlisted for the top [-]." The dean said, "So I am here to let you go again Take a few normal photos, so that you can participate in the next battle smoothly."

"???"

"Let them know what eternal kingship is!" the dean said firmly while holding the chicken wings.

A few minutes later, a bewildered man came out with a garbage bag containing chicken bones.

The phone rang.

The manager's unbelievable voice came out.

"Takizawa-kun! I just found out today! Why don't you have official photos yet!"

"Because I haven't been to the company yet."

"You said such shameless words so easily!" Kashiwa Ippei was furious, "I'll get it done within this week!"

"This photo seems to be used in various occasions, right? Then should I rent clothes? The funds..."

beep.

The call stopped abruptly.

Unexpectedly, he was surrounded by people who coveted his own beauty.

Ugh.
