Tokyo Wingman King

Saturday, August 8, 37:am.

The discussion on the train did not last long, as the girls fell into a deep sleep due to exhaustion from waking up early.

Everyone got up and washed up at 5 o'clock, and everyone checked out at 5:20. They went home and spent 40 minutes unpacking their luggage. They also had breakfast made by Katsuko Asama and caught the train at 7:50.

The whole morning seemed like a flight from war.

Mai Majima, who had only slept for three hours, curled up in Futami Tsukimi's arms.

They wore the same pair of headphones and fell asleep listening to the song.

This beautiful scene made many passengers who were hurriedly passing by with their suitcases couldn't help but stop and look at them for a few seconds.

Fuzugawa, who was sitting by the window, leaned her head against the glass, closed the book in her hand, and gently pinched her thumb.

Her sleeping face was being bathed in sunlight, without a single shadow.

The Love Consultation Department bought second-class seats, the layout of which is the same as that of the Huaxia High-Speed ​​Railway, with two-person seats on one side and three-person seats on the other.

Pochi, who was sitting next to Asama, pulled down the sun visor and slept soundly leaning on his shoulder.

After confirming that she was asleep, Asana took her head and put it back on her own seat.

His shoulders could neither withstand the girls' tears nor their saliva.

Yesterday, he had a love battle with two determined girls, Fuzugawa and Mashima. Even though the [Staying Up Late] skill took effect, it didn't help him feel tired.

But he still has to learn.

If he just wastes time on internal problems, he will not be able to find a way out of the dilemma.

The purpose of learning is not to solve the current problems, but to make yourself more rounded.

The notebook on the small table quickly filled up two pages of words - Asana found a bilingual biography about the king of piano, Liszt, and learned the German vocabulary in it.

He disagreed with Mark Twain's assessment of German as a confusing language.

The German parts of speech are divided into three types: [yin/yang/zhong], which is as outrageous as some experts using the five elements formula to classify Chinese vocabulary. However, the superposition characteristics of German compound words, like building blocks, are very comfortable.

For example, Rampensau (a person who attracts attention) is a combination of Rampe (stage front) and Sau (sow).

Arschgeige (annoying guy) is Arsch (butt) plus Geige (violin).

Nervensge (nervous ghost) is Nerven (nervous) plus Sge (saw).

These words are obviously mechanically spliced ​​together, but they produce a chemical reaction like alchemy.

Who says Germans are boring and rigorous? Are all these words invented by foreigners?

Seeing that the lady-catching qualities of the commoner-born Liszt were effective again, Princess Caroline von Sayn-Wittgenstein fell in love, abandoned her husband and tens of thousands of serfs, and settled with him in Weimar.

Asama wrote down the word used in the biography to describe Princess Caroline - Augenstern (star in the eyes/the most beloved person).

Having seen the stars in Futami's and Busei's eyes, he knew the weight of this word.

In the headphones, Italian pianist Ciccolini played Liszt's Harmony of Poetry and Religion. I had heard a fragment of the performance by Austrian pianist Brendel. The two's surprisingly consistent, soft and quiet performance of this piece further highlighted the completely different and restrained Liszt behind this set of music - the Liszt in the biography.

Asama excerpted some verses - French verses from Lamartine.

This is exactly why Asama read this biography, so that he can learn two foreign languages ​​in one go.

Father Lamennais and the poet Lamartine were the key people who freed Liszt from the pain of pursuing equality, and Liszt's suite "Harmony of Poetry and Religion" also contained a lot of quotes from religious stories and Lamartine's poems.

How many outstanding people have devoted everything to religion in their later years. The constraints of the idea of ​​the big Other have provided them with a safe haven.

The big Other is not a derogatory term, nor is it a noun that must be rebelled against. Isn’t Marx’s thought a kind of big Other that can be called liberation and redemption?

This made him crave excellence again.

If their love for him is similar to their love for gods or the leader of some ideology, can it lighten their burden?
Asama quickly rejected the idea.

This seems to be a pursuit of progress, but in fact it is a major setback, a major setback for the equal relationship he has been trying to establish.

There was a soft snap.

Futami, who was sitting in the aisle, dropped her earphones on the ground, but she was sleeping and didn't notice.

Seeing this, Asana bent down and picked up the airpod that had slipped to his feet.

There were some noises coming from inside.

Instead of music, it feels like an audiobook?
Asana put the earphones to his ears and listened.

"Baby, it's late, why don't you go to bed?"

"It's raining outside. You asked me what kind of weather I like? Cloudy, rainy, and sunny days are not as good as chatting with you face to face. Yes, I miss you now, and I may miss you even more in a while."

"You asked me how it felt to meet you? Probably, it was like I had walked for a long, long time and finally arrived home. How about you?"

"Baby, I want the holes in your heart and body to be shaped like me."

These nonsensical, one-sided dialogues are all his voice.
He recognized this as the tone and voice he used in the filming of "Falling in Love with the Absent Him".
Where did this AI-generated weird stuff come from???

Thinking of Mashima in Futami's arms, who also had an earphone playing the sound of [Fake Asama Shizumi] on her ear, he quietly went over and took it off for her.

Damingshen, is this what you usually listen to before falling asleep?

Looking at Futami's peaceful sleeping face that seemed to be bathed in soft light from the woods, he felt that it was no big deal to call this forest the Witch's Forest.

After stuffing Futami's airpods into his shorts pocket, Asana found that he could no longer read Liszt's biography quietly.

In the other ear, the piano piece "Harmony of Poetry and Religion" has entered the seventh chapter, "Funeral" in F minor.

The lines of Lamartine come to mind.

How much time do I have left?
What does it matter?

I am heading to where you flow;

To us, dusk follows dawn:

Flow, water, please keep flowing forward! 】

At 9:17, the train arrived at Tokyo Station on time.

Jiandao, who hadn't done any housework for nearly a month, waved goodbye to everyone in a hurry.

"Mai, stay safe and we'll see you in the morning."

"Yeah, see you tomorrow."

Still wearing sunglasses, Jiandao smiled sweetly in return, waved, and disappeared in the crowded weekend crowd at Tokyo Station.

Asana turned his gaze back to Futami. The girl's face had been blushing ever since she returned the headphones to her.

"Tsukihime, I'm going to trouble you, Pochi."

"It's no trouble. Do you want to have dinner together? I'll make dinner."

"The meeting will probably be very late. Aren't you and Bochi going to visit Lao Qin this afternoon? Just have a good rest at home after you're done." This time, Erjian and Bochi came to thank Lao Qin formally. Due to their too frequent requests for leave, they unknowingly became the limited mascots of the Chinese restaurant who were rarely seen.

Lao Qin did not complain, but invited a young lady from the nearby Shenghua Women's College who was fascinated by Chinese clothing to come and help, under the introduction of Qianjian. Lao Qin also recruited two international students, and the current scheduling tolerance rate is very high.

The beautiful girl economy of the Chinese restaurant has gradually gained fame in Azabu-Juban.

"Ah Shui~ Don't sleep in, we will meet in your room early tomorrow morning!"

"understood."

"Also, I want to eat hot dry noodles!"

"Row."

"Ms. Pochi, you and Robert-kun are indeed a family. Your tastes are so similar."

"This summer, Shizumi-kun, please teach us how to cook Chinese food~"

"Ah."

Watching Futami take Pochi away, Pochi's waving, turning back every three steps, successfully made Shiraga Asama the focus of Tokyo Station.

A refreshing and sweet fragrance came from the side and rear.

Asana's shoulder was placed on by Busei's hand.

"We are the only ones left now. What do you want for lunch?"

"You still need to go back to put your luggage, right? Let's have lunch separately and meet in front of the bookstore in Shibuya at 1:50."

"Hey~~~ It won't take that long to put the luggage away, right? Let's meet in Ikebukuro at 11 o'clock and have some Chinese food. I heard there are more than 100 Chinese restaurants there, and they are all authentic~~~ I kind of want to try it~~~"

Ikebukuro is indeed now occupied by Chinese restaurants, or rather, occupied by the needs of Chinese students. A large number of stores catering to Chinese students have appeared on a street at the northwest exit of Ikebukuro Station. Some students even joked that Ikebukuro in Tokyo has become an enclave of Chinese.

I had been craving for Lanzhou beef noodles, and there are several restaurants near the west exit of Ikebukuro, including Safi and Niu Brothers, both of which have authentic Chinese flavors.

He even remembered that it was closer to go out from Exit C6 of Ikebukuro Station.

But I have been too busy these past two months and haven't had the time to leisurely explore Tokyo like Inogashira Goro did.

go?

Why do I feel like I'm being controlled by the Busui River again?
"In return for inviting me to your house, I'll treat you this time~"

Asana thought about it and realized that the total cost of inviting them home to play would be about 70, but the expenditure in his personal name rather than in the name of the department would be only about 10.

The average cost per person is 2.5 yen, enough for 15 bowls of beef noodles.

"Let's split the bill. How much does beef noodles cost? I'll treat you to a bigger meal next time."

"It's really hurtful to measure friendship with money! Then come to my house next time and I'll cook for you."

"Your current home is not your home, but Shiina's home, right?"

"Hey~Does Robert want to spend some time alone with me?"

Asama really admires the girl's train of thought
"I feel more at ease living with you in a world with 70 billion people."

Fuzukawa pressed down her bangs.

"In other words, in this world where I exist, you feel at ease every minute and every second? Robert-kun always says sweet words out of the blue~~~"

"Of course it would be best if you were always by my side. But the love here is lower than the sugar content of Coke Zero."

The two sides exchange tolerance for each other through mutual support and their own efforts.

The current relationship between Fuzugawa Risa and Asama Shizumi is just like this - they can freely and frankly express their love for each other, neither of them wants the other to leave at this time, they understand each other's thoughts, and by restraining their own impulse to change the other's thoughts, they can expand the space for their relationship.

"But I just like pure water without any sweetness. In front of restrained, kind, and pure water without any malice, I will become a woman who is easily satisfied."

But women are all deceptive, and Fuzugawa never considered Asama as a friend.

It seems that before a romantic relationship is established, any relationship between two people is temporary, false and unrealistic.

"Well, dear major shareholder Mr. Robert, see you later~"

The two of them walked out of Tokyo Station together, and decided to go to her house for a dinner party if they had the chance this summer. After they agreed on the meeting place later, Busei nodded with satisfaction and strode into the crowd.

After returning home, he did a quick cleanup, discussed investment matters with Komaba, and replied to messages from Tomiya, Yanami, and Shinomiya.

Asama began to organize and collect information from the school forum.

Last week, Ying Siyao's fraternity participated in an off-road activity across a desert in Australia without any supplies. The post was full of handsome photos of male models, and the male content in the reply section was almost zero.

Konoe's Dragon Heart Society organized two events, each of which was simply a trip, a meeting, and a fundraiser, but the response was very good, and the Dragon Heart Society had a special section on the school forum. This treatment was previously only available to student unions with many subordinate organizations.

The news that the eldest daughter of the Kujo family will come to Toyo Eiwa next semester has been confirmed by a person named Ijuin Rintaro. This person is the sports car driver who was sent to the police station by him and Nijo on the day of the cultural festival. A sense of trouble comes to mind.

"Falling in Love with the Absent Him" ​​won the gold medal and the Best Foreign Language Film Award at three college student film festivals without the knowledge of the main creators. There are also reports that this film will win more than 3 awards at at least 13 film festivals in 20 countries and regions this year.

Asama looked at the award-winning places, Brandenburg, Germany, Kitzbühel, Austria, Luxembourg, it must be the work of Masumi Ichijo, but Kaname Takashi must have contributed as well. Because he was the one who posted it.
This has brought the love consultation department back into the spotlight after it cooled down a bit during the summer vacation.

On the entire forum, about 10/1 of the posts in 6 pages are gossip related to him or the Love Consultation Club. People are still desperately digging up information about Futami Tsukiumi, Majima Mai, Fushigawa Risa, Ichijo Masumi, and those who have publicly stated that they have received guidance from the [Five Imperial Teachers]. They are trying to infer what qualifications are required to enter the Love Consultation Club or be guided by the Great Sensei through statistical comparison.

[Only women can enter the love consultation department] and [Only men can make an appointment for love consultation] are two enduring topics that cannot be falsified.

The real identities of Futami Tsukiumi and Majima Mai have also become a topic of discussion among the Asama supporters.

Some people judged that Futami and Chiyo Konoe had the same teacher based on her technical moves in the tennis match at the Sports Festival; others said that Mai Majima and [The Five Imperial Teachers] had the most similar temperaments, and they might have come from the same hidden family.

Asana used his current power and status to ask the operators of the school forum to clean up some of their messy private information.

Although his poor computer skills prevented him from quickly searching for information on the school forum, his speed reading skills still saved him a lot of time.

With the addition of the long-lost department head, Fujiwara Ai, it looks like Eiwa will become even more lively next semester.

At 10:25, Asana subconsciously wanted to take a shower, but quickly dismissed the idea.

It's just a meeting, not a date.

I reviewed the agenda for today's Daigo Bookstore management meeting and went out with my bag.

Asama, who wore a hat but couldn't hide his white hair, gradually became an eye-catching figure like Busui and the others without saying a word.

No, there is no time when Busei doesn't speak.

It was already 11: when he walked out of the east exit of Shibuya Station. Asama listened to the instructions on his mobile phone navigation and searched around for Busei.

Passing by the Ikebukuro East Exit Park Square, Asama saw Fushigawa Risa, wearing an elegant professional dress, standing boredly in front of the music stone tablet with the lyrics of "Flower of Hope" written on it.

The energetic idol girl raised her head as if by telepathy, looking through the crowd and meeting his gaze.

"You're late for your date~R-kun~"

As she waved her hand, the girl smiled brightly. (End of this chapter)
