Tokyo Martial Arts Story

Tokyo Martial Arts Stories: The Bonds of Life

From the Central Plains to Tokyo, he wrote a martial arts story...

My name is Yan Kai, I am 15 years old, and I am from the Central Plains. I came to Dongying to study abroad. I am studying in the private Shenjian School. My hobby is drawing manga. Living by working two jobs.Every day when I go home to do exercises for four hours, meditate for two hours, and draw manga until dawn, the school doctor Ryoko Mimon asks me why I am not dead yet.

(PS: Comprehensive comic background, the protagonist is adapted from martial arts dramas and comics, and most of the memories are from the post-80s and 90s.)

Chapter 1 My name is Yan Kai, from the Central Plains

It was already school time, outside the private Shenjian School, in a popular coffee shop, Kasumigaoka Shiyu, who was full of thoughts, was typing in his notebook like a tide.

In the quiet coffee shop, the slight voices of the students who took a nap in this coffee shop after school could not cover up the crackling sound of code words. The sound of code words emerged, and it was completed in one go. In a short time, tens of thousands of words were coded out. She is really a well-deserved code word girl.

"call……"

The inspiration ran out in a short time, and the sound of typing stopped. Kasumigaoka Shiyu finally stopped, stretched slightly, and let out a long breath.

After the excitement passed, Xiazhiqiu Shiyu began to feel a little tired.

Ok, let me see what I have written...

As a gifted writer who relies on talent to make a living, when Kasumigaoka Shiyu gets inspiration, he often writes things that he doesn't even know about, and how much of it is gold and jade, and how much of it is waste, is hard to describe. Manuscripts with [-] characters have been "shot" to nothing, and this has happened countless times.

Just when Xiazhiqiu Shiyu wanted to calm down and carefully read the manuscript she had written, a slight swishing sound with an unusually comfortable rhythm came to her ears.

This sound seemed to have existed when Xiazhiqiu Shiyu was coding, but it was covered by the sound of coding, and Xiazhiqiu Shiyu could only vaguely hear it. Now that the sound of coding has stopped, the swishing sound has become clearer.

A little curiosity arose in his heart, Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu couldn't help but search for the source of the sound, and found that the source of the sound was impressively in the seat behind him.

I saw a young man who was also wearing the uniform of the private Shenjian School lying on the table and writing and drawing, and the brushing sound was naturally made by him.

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu stared at it for a long time before finally confirming that this young man was actually drawing manga!

Originally, as an author of light novels, Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu was not very familiar with manga drawing, but he knew a little bit, so it shouldn't be impossible to see that this boy is drawing manga at a glance.

However, this young man draws manga completely differently from other manga writers. With a piece of paper, a pencil, and a few strokes, with an unusually decisive attitude, he finalizes the storyboard of a page of manga, and then, Instead of continuing to enrich the storyboard with a pencil and turning it into a draft, I directly changed to a dip pen and started writing.

It was done in one go, almost without pause, let alone hesitation, and of course there was no modification. The brushwork was like flying, and in about ten minutes, a complete drawing was born from his hands!

Is this drawing a manga?

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu's head was full of question marks. Even if she hadn't learned to draw manga, but she had never eaten pork, she had seen those dead house running in the school's manga research club... Oh, no, it was drawing manga.

Correction fluid, brushes, dot paper, utility knife, ruler... None of these basic drawing tools have been used by the boy, but look at the objects on his desk - the completed drawings spread out on several pages , a stack of manuscript paper, an eraser that looks brand new and never used, a bottle of ink that is dipped occasionally when it is opened, a pencil that is used to make up a few strokes from time to time, a glass of plain water that seems to have never been drunk, at least for a while. There is no more, it seems that it is indeed not intended to use those tools.

After a drawing was completed, the boy couldn't help but straightened up, pushed his glasses, and had a thoughtful expression on his face.

Seeing the boy raised his head, the reserved and beautiful girl Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu hastily turned her head. After turning her head, she sneaked a guilty glance out of the corner of her eye, and found that the boy didn't notice her peeking just now, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

In Dongying, girls rashly stare at boys. This is not a decent behavior, and it doesn't match Xiazhiqiu Shiyu's high-cold personality. Of course, Xiazhiqiu Shiyu doesn't want to be peeped by the boy, although this is nothing. Shameful things.

A face I haven't seen before, is it a first-year freshman?

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu thought.

It's only been a month since the private Shenjian School started, so if you're a first-year freshman, you might not know him.

Although Kasumigaoka Shiyu is not keen on socializing, and can even be said to be a person who dislikes socializing, but with his excellent memory, if the boy is an old face in the second and third grades, and he is in the same school, Kasumigaoka Shiyu will not It should have no impression at all.

What a strange person...

Thinking of this, Xiazhiqiu Shiyu quickly turned her attention back to her manuscript.

Obviously, it’s just a strange person, not enough to involve too much of Kasumigaoka’s mind, “Love Metronome”, this debut work that Kasumigaoka’s put a lot of energy into is the top priority now .

Although the first volume of the novel has been released, the results are not good. According to the results of the discussion by the editorial department, it is very likely that the third volume will be finished. Qiu Shiyu has no way to change it, but it is impossible for her to be willing to end her first novel in three volumes, so all she can do now is to make the second volume perfect, to gain the trust of the editorial department, and to win the favor of readers Well, as long as the second volume of "Love Metronome" can get good grades, then this "child" can get rid of the fate of being cut in half.

....................................

Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu no longer thought about the boy, but the boy came to the door by himself jokingly.

The next day, after school, Kasumigaoka Shiyu from the Homecoming Department packed her schoolbag and was planning to go home and continue to conceive the plot of "Love Metronome". Live codewords at home.

The inspiration came suddenly yesterday, and I was afraid that it would disappear on the road, so I hurried to the coffee shop next to the school to write down the inspiration. I am not in a hurry today, of course I have to go home.

But what Xiazhiqiu Shiyu didn't know was that at this time, outside the classroom door, a young man who was about to change her future was waiting for her.

"Excuse me, is Kasumi Hill Shiyu-senpai?"

The strange boy who drew manga in the coffee shop yesterday bowed slightly to Kasumigaoka Shiwa who walked out of the classroom.

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu frowned.

Kasumigaoka Shiyu originally guessed that the boy was a freshman in high school, but now, after seeing the silver star badge on the collar of the boy's school uniform, he has already confirmed that the boy is a freshman in the first grade.

Dongpu is a country that pays great attention to the dignity of the elders, and it is also the same in the school. The status of the lower grades and the upper grades is completely different. It can be said that it is a matter of course in Dongpu.

And in the same school, in order to distinguish between high and low ages, some marks are often made on the school uniforms to distinguish between high and low ages. The silver star badge on the collar of the boy is the logo of the first-year students of the private Shenjian school.

When facing the seniors of the second grade, the first-year freshmen actually bowed instead of bowing. This is a very rude thing. She also won't like people who are not polite.

Seeing that Xiazhiqiu Shiyu didn't deny his identity, the boy continued: "Hello, my name is Yan Kai, an overseas student from Central Plains, I have known you for a long time, it's my first meeting, very nice to meet you."

According to the etiquette of Dongying people, when meeting someone for the first time, you should say "please advise me", but this Central Plains native named Yan Kai is more used to saying "excellent meeting", considering that there seems to be no "excellent meeting" in Japanese This statement was changed to "Nice to meet you".

"Central Plains?"

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu's frown stretched, and turned into curiosity.

It's normal for foreigners not to understand the customs of Japan, Xiazhiqiu Shiyu naturally forgave Yan Kai's rudeness, and only then began to look at Yan Kai seriously.

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu is tall and tall, which is considered a rare height among high school students in Japan. Even facing most boys, she can still look at him head-up, but this strange Central Plains person in front of her needs her to look up slightly, and her height is at least 1.8. Rice, or even more, neither fat nor thin, neither makes people feel bloated, nor does it feel like a bamboo pole, it is just right.

Fair skin, especially women.This made Xiazhiqiu Shiyu a little upset, why is a man with such a good skin in vain.

On his face, he wore wide and thick old-fashioned glasses, which covered most of his face. The thick lenses were completely white, making it difficult to see his face clearly.

The lips are thin, and the corners of the mouth are slightly upturned, as if it can evoke a smile at any time, but it is quite pleasing.The chin is pointed, but it looks like the protagonist of a beautiful girl manga.

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu secretly thought, what a weird person.

"The thing is like this. I heard that Kasumigaoka-senpai has outstanding literary talent and has written scripts for the drama club. Therefore, I want to ask Kasumigaoka-senpai for help with something. Can you please move a little bit and listen to my request Is it?"

Yan Kai said to Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu.

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu originally wanted to refuse, but remembering Yan Kai's painting skills that looked abnormal in the coffee shop yesterday, she subconsciously nodded and said: "Yes."

Since the other party praised his literary talent and thought that Yan Kai was drawing manga, it is likely that he wanted to ask him for help in the plot of the manga. Kasumigaoka Shiyu not only wrote scripts for the drama club, but was also invited by the manga research club I worked as a screenwriter, but in the end, Kasumigaoka Shiyu didn't like Kasumigaoka Shiyu because the drawing skills of Manyan Club were not up to standard, so it didn't work out.

I just read Huiyan Kaihua comics in a hurry yesterday. I don’t know what the contents are. To be honest, I'm a little nearsighted, and I can't see clearly.

But if Yan Kaizhen has excellent drawing skills and can perfectly show the stories in her heart through manga, Xiazhiqiu Shiyu is willing to spend some time on him.

If not, then...

Now it’s not like before. If a light novel wants to sell well and expand its influence, it must be manga and animation. Although it’s too early to mention this, if you can get to know a manga author with potential now, It can be regarded as paving the way for the future.

It's no wonder that Xiazhiqiu Shiyu is utilitarian, it's really for her first child, "Love Metronome", she has already racked her brains, and wants to try any method.

Chapter 2 Sword Roar Jianghu

[Sword, the king of all soldiers; swordsmanship, like the sun, is like a rabbit, vertical and horizontal, reverse and obedient, straight and unheard of. 】

In yesterday's coffee shop, Kasumigaoka Shiwa sat on the seat and carefully read the sketch in his hand, silently reading the narration written in the first frame of the sketch in his heart.

It was a bit inconvenient to talk about things in school, so Yan Kai proposed to come to the coffee shop yesterday, and from Yan Kai's tone, he seemed to be a regular customer there.

Yan Kai really did what Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu thought, the purpose of looking for her was related to manga, after the two came to the coffee shop, Yan Kai handed Xia Zhiqiu a stack of thick drawings to Xia Zhiqiu before Shiyu started to order. Zhiqiu Shiyu, Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu just weighed it and realized that this drawing might have three or four hundred pages!

He has drawn so much without thinking, is he not afraid that the submission will fail, and all his efforts will be turned into bubbles?

Generally speaking, even if newcomer comic authors have a confident work, they will only draw two or three chapters before submitting, because even if their work is favored by a comic agency, after the discussion, they feel that this comic can be serialized, and they will also comment on the comic. It is the power of the editorial department to make corrections to a certain extent, and it is also a love education for ignorant newcomer comic authors who do not understand the market conditions.

That is to say, even if these [-]-[-]-page drafts are submitted and succeeded, there is a high possibility that they will be forced to revise most of the drafts, let alone [-] pages!

But thinking about the rocket speed of the young man across the street who drew a page of sketches in ten minutes, Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu felt again, maybe he is not afraid at all, quick hands are self-willed!

Jixiazhiqiu Shiyu, who can easily delete tens of thousands of words or even 10,000+ words of manuscripts without even frowning, agrees with Yan Kaisheng a little bit.

"Xiazhiqiu-senpai wants to order, please order casually, I'm sorry to bother you, so let me treat you this time, please don't refuse anyway."

After recruiting the waiter, Yan Kai handed over the ordering power to Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu, and declared in advance that he would pay the bill.

The customs and habits of Dongying and Central Plains are similar but also very different. Take men and women going out to eat together. If in Central Plains, it is basically a treat for men. Women only need to bring their mouths. Special, otherwise it will be AA system.

It is strange to say that at this moment, the Central Plains women who have always advocated gender equality for women to stand up will always become weaker, just waiting for the men to take over and pay the bill, while the Japanese women who have become accustomed to being men's vassals, But he seems very self-reliant and will insist on paying his own share, which is really weird.

Of course, this time it was Yan Kai who asked for Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu, so it was only natural for Yan Kai to treat guests.

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu raised his eyebrows, and his black-bellied character could not help but emerge.

"Then I want this, this, and this!"

Kasumigaoka Shiyu ordered the most expensive desserts in one go, and even picked a cup of the most expensive mocha coffee.

Let you be generous!

The waiter who took the bill was very happy. These desserts and coffee cost tens of thousands of yen.

"A glass of boiled water, thank you."

Yan Kai remained motionless, and said to the waiter.

Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu snickered in his heart, thinking that Yan Kai was so heartbroken that he could only order plain water to save money.

The waiter was a little disappointed when he didn't see Yan Kai's ugly face, but he still went to prepare dessert and coffee.

It's not that the waiter likes to kill customers, but Yan Kai...

For a month, the coffee shop only ordered a cup of boiled water for [-] yen, no wonder the waiter had a problem with Yan Kai.

Although the waiter was paid dead wages, and Yan Kai had nothing to do with him, the waiter still couldn't help being unhappy with such a stingy customer.

Even the store manager had a problem with Yan Kai. The store manager made an exception to price the free boiled water at [-] yen because of Yan Kai. For this reason, the store manager was often scolded by customers who came into the store, but If you don't do this, you really can't swallow that breath.

This is not a question of money, the key is to hate this kind of customers who occupy the latrine and don't shit!The rent of the shops next to the school is very expensive!

Not to mention the resentment of the waiter and the store manager, while waiting for the dessert to be served, Kasumigaoka Shiyu continued to look at the drawing, and she couldn't help being fascinated after seeing it.

Under the narration of the first frame, there is a lone warrior standing on the reef in the sea, looking into the distance, the waves under his feet are beating, splashing the starting point of water, although there is no explanation yet, just because of his momentum, let Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu I think this is an extremely powerful swordsman.

Then, the samurai began to fall into memories, recalling his duel with an old man, and the narration began to explain the background of this duel.
