"Kaijun, here!"
On the streets of Akihabara, a long-haired beauty with a slender figure and an outstanding figure greeted Yan Kai, who was walking slowly in casual clothes. Behind Yan Kai, Eve followed closely with her calves moving hard.
"Sara, long time no see!"
Yan Kai smiled and said to the long-haired beauty.
The long-haired beauty was Sara Iwami, who taught Yan Kai how to play the guitar before. She excitedly said to Yan Kai, "It's been a long time. I asked you out many times, but you always said you were unavailable!"
Yan Kai scratched his cheek and said with some embarrassment: "Uh, I'm sorry, I really didn't have time before..."
This is not a lie, Yan Kai still has a lot of things to do in his daily life. Iwami Sharo invited him out to watch concerts several times, but Yan Kai declined them all. Even if he came here this time, he actually had a certain purpose.
"Hey, this is just?"
Shi Jian Sha Luo was easy to dismiss, Yan Kai apologized to her, and she quickly forgave Yan Kai, and then was attracted by Eve who was following Yan Kai.
Such cute foreign children are very rare, and Sara Iwami wanted to go up and touch his head when he saw them.
What do you mean by the quantifier "only"...
Yan Kai wanted to complain like this, but forget it, there was no need to harm Eve twice. He replied to Iwami Sharo: "My neighbor's child is always bored at home during the holidays. Her sister is a little worried about her, so Let me help take her out to move around more.”
Strangely enough, when she was imprisoned by the "Black Gun" organization and unable to be freed, Eve once yearned for the outside world, wanting to see the scenery and people outside. , Shi En and others were still very strong when they rescued and placed Yanet in the European town where Yanette was located. After all, the town only had more than a thousand residents, and it was far away from the surrounding cities. Usually few outsiders passed by, so almost It can be regarded as isolated from the world, and it is precisely because of this that Torre and Shien can safely place Eve there.
But when Eve arrived in Japan, she arrived in a country with one of the top ten population densities in the world, especially in Tokyo, an international metropolis that only covers 4% of Japan but bears the pressure of a quarter of Japan's population...
People, people, people!
No matter where she went in Tokyo, Eve would always see crowds of people. Even if it wasn't any festival, the flow of people on the streets of Tokyo would always be more lively than that of the European town where Eve had lived in seclusion before. Ten times or a hundred times.
Especially after several tram rides, Eve almost developed trypophobia, so she began to become repulsive about going out.
What's the point of going out? It's more fun to read at home.
This is what Eve said, who gave up going out and stayed at home reading books even on her days off. The so-called excess is not as good as it is.
This is nothing at all. Anyway, in recent years, more and more young people in Japan are unwilling to go out and participate in normal social interactions. This has become a social phenomenon in Japan. It is not bad for a "home girl" like Eve, but Tia Yuu is very worried that Eve will become someone who is out of touch with society if things go on like this.
The sisters finally gained a relatively free space, and she didn't want Eve to trap herself in a small space.
But even if the limelight of artificial warrior technology has passed, Tiayu and Mikado Ryoko are still very worried about Eve's safety, fearing that some caring people still haven't completely given up on Eve. It is definitely not possible for three weak women to go out on their own, it is too dangerous. , so Tiayu and Mikado Ryoko could only ask Yan Kai to take Eve with him when he was about to go out. With Yan Kai protecting Eve, they could rest assured that Eve would go out.
But Yan Kai is also a person who doesn't like to go out when he has nothing to do. He always has something to do when he goes out, and he goes back quickly without any delay. There is no point in asking Yan Kai to take Eve with him when going out like this. This time it is rare to say that he wants to go out. When going to a concert, Tiayou didn't care what kind of concert it was, she just asked Yan Kai to take Eve along.
So Eve could only reluctantly follow Yan Kai to meet Ishimi Sharo.
"Is he the neighbor's child... so cute!"
When Sharo Iwami saw the cold "loli", the stiff expression on her face softened and she revealed a charming smile. She was tall and bent slightly so that she could have a closer look at Eve's delicate and flawless little body. face and gently caressed her head.
This bend was small, but extremely insulting, and a vein suddenly popped out of the corner of Eve's eye.
"I'm (almost) fourteen years old, please don't treat me like a child!"
Eve turned her head away from Ishimi Sara's touch, her face full of coldness.
"Huh? You're lying! You obviously look only ten years old!"
Hearing Eve say that she was fourteen years old, Sara Iwami couldn't help but exclaimed, how come he was only two years younger than her even though he was so young!
puff!
Yan Kai couldn't help laughing, while Eve had another vein popping up on her cheek.
Because the organization conducted rough experiments on Eve, Eve's body has stopped growing since then. According to Yan Kai, this is the reason for excessive loss of life energy. Before making up for the deficit, Eve is likely to continue to grow. It will all be what it is now. Of course, using nanorobots to change the body shape is a separate matter.
But that was probably when Eve was about eleven years old. Now Sara Iwami says that Eve looks only ten years old. Does that mean that Eve's development was relatively late? Is it a genetic problem? But look at Teacher Tiayu...it doesn’t look like it!
Very well, Iwami Sara successfully gained Eve's dislike within just a few minutes of getting to know her. Not only did his ability to communicate with people not improve, but it became even more difficult to explain.
After getting acquainted with Iwami Sharo, Iwami Sarao communicated with Yan Kai almost every night. Of course, basically Iwami Sarao talked and Yan Kai listened, and only occasionally replied to her a few words.
Yan Kai didn't feel bored about this kind of thing, but after listening to it for a long time, he found it quite interesting.
Because what Sharo Iwami tells Yan Kai is always about the things and thoughts she encounters in her daily life, and it should be said that Sarao Iwami is just a straightforward person. She basically just says what comes to her mind, and many things don’t matter at all. Avoiding taboos, even some private matters of girls' families, allowed Yan Kai to gain a lot of new knowledge.
This is equivalent to giving Yan Kai another perspective to see the world, and Yan Kai will certainly find it interesting.
However, online, Sara Iwami's ability to chat and speak has greatly improved, and she no longer has the problem of being unable to express herself. However, in reality, her problem still does not seem to have improved at all. No, it's just a few sentences. This made Eve angry. If she hadn't worried about Ishimi Sharo being Yan Kai's friend, Eve would have jumped up and hit Ishimi Sara.
After introducing themselves to each other, under the leadership of Iwami Sara, the three of them turned around and arrived at a backstreet basement. Different from the bright surface environment, there is no sunlight all year round, and the light that can help people see is different. The chaotic neon lights everywhere are very eye-catching.
What was bad in the basement was not only the light, but also the loud noise. Eve, who liked silence, covered her ears with pain on her face.
"I'm sorry, Kaijun, you said you wanted to see a concert, but there are no well-known bands performing in Tokyo today, so you can only find it here. My brother said that a punk band called 'Self-Explosion Soul' will perform here today. That’s a pretty good band, I think you can listen to them!”
It was also the first time for Iwami Sharo to come to such a place. She also covered her ears, and while covering her ears, she yelled loudly at Yan Kai.
In this situation, you can't convey your voice to the people around you without roaring like this. Of course, Sarao Iwami's voice became part of the noise in this noisy basement.
She actually didn't want to come here, but first of all, there were really no famous bands performing in Tokyo today. Secondly, when Sara Iwami asked her brother if he had any bands worth recommending, Iwami Hisashi first asked Iwami Did Sharo want to go by himself or something? When Sharo Iwami answered that he wanted to go with Yan Kai, he recommended Sarao Iwami to come here to watch the so-called "Self-Destruction Soul" performance, saying it was very worth seeing. .
Sara Iwami must have believed in her brother, but now, after seeing such a bad environment in the backstreet basement, she regretted it.
My brother is an idiot!
After finally going out to play with Yan Kai, his only friend, but they ended up in a place like this. Of course Iwami Sara would be angry.
"It's okay, it's fine for me anyway."
Yan Kai was completely indifferent to such a harsh environment. He looked calmly at the band on the basement stage who were completely immersed in their performance and struggling to make noise, as well as the audience who cheered crazily for the sound that was completely destroying their eardrums.
"Is this the punk band 'Self-Explosion Soul' you're talking about? It's really punk enough..."
Yan Kai calmly commented on the colorful and weird hair, the makeup that was more colorful than Peking Opera, and the thick "end of the century" style jacket.
Although he didn't quite understand what "punk" meant, in any case, the band on stage completely fit his impression of "punk".
Although it was strange why Yan Kaiming didn't speak very loudly, but the sound could easily reach his ears covered with his hands, Iwami Sharo still answered loudly at the top of his lungs: "No, it's not them, 'Self-destruction Soul'" The show is coming to an end, they are just a warm-up band for 'Self-Destruction Soul'!"
What? This is just the warm-up, then how wild will it be when the real master comes? Are you going to kill someone if you come up?
This time, even Yan Kai showed a rare look of surprise.
"Punk" is so scary!
While the two were talking, the unknown punk band on the stage finally ended their performance. Of course, it might be because they were tired of shouting, but it didn't matter anyway.
Amid cheers from the enthusiastic audience, the band triumphantly exited the stage.
The main source of noise in the basement disappeared, and the surrounding noise became quieter. Sara Iwami put down the hand covering his ears, leaned into Yan Kai's ear and said loudly: "Kaijun, there are many people in Japan who want to become professional musicians every year. After they form a band, they usually perform in places like this, because many talent scouts in the music industry sometimes come here to discover potential newcomers, but most of them just waste a few years of their youth and go home to find jobs!"
After listening to Shi Jiansha Luo's words, Yan Kai picked his ears with his fingers: "Well, Rosa, please keep your voice down, I can hear you."
Even Yan Kai couldn't stand having someone yell into his ears at close range.
"Kaijun, I'm sorry, I know!" Sara Iwami blushed and shouted loudly.
I don't think you have...
Yan Kai, whose ears were hit hard again, complained heartily.
But he also understood that this was not a strange thing. Normal people would naturally not be able to help speaking in a loud voice in such a noisy environment.
"What's the next band? Is it also in this punk style?"
Yan Kai asked Shi Jian Sha Luo.
If so, please forgive me for slipping out for some fresh air.
Yan Kai whispered in his heart.
Although it is shameful to be a deserter, it is better than being killed in battle.
"No, it's a performance by a new idol group!"
Sara Iwami was still roaring unconsciously, and seemed to have forgotten how to speak other than that.
An idol's performance? Then you can take a look. Although Japanese idols are famous for their variety, they are mainly for the public, so there should be no punk-style idols, right?
Yan Kai's heart relaxed a little.
Yan Kai also knows a little bit about Japanese idols. It’s not that he is also in the fandom, but that Japanese idols are a very successful fast-moving product to a certain extent, which can be regarded as a classic case in marketing. , Yan Kai understands them purely from a business perspective.
Seeing Yankai's interest in the performance of the new idol, Iwami Sara roared even louder: "I heard that he is a potential newcomer who is rare among 'underground idols' in recent years. He is about to debut as an official idol! Today may be They performed here for the last time, so a lot of people actually came here for their performance!”
In order to have fun with Yan Kai today, Sarao Iwami also did a lot of homework. He studied the arrangements and performers for today's performance. The only thing he didn't expect was that the environment here was so bad.
Iwami Sara has also joined a band, but the bands she joined were all arranged by Iwami Hisashi. As a former trend-setter in the pop music industry, Iwami Hisashi still has great reputation, so he arranged for Iwami Sara. The bands are all cutting-edge bands with good prospects, and the venues where they usually perform are naturally many times better than this kind of backstreet basement. This gave Sara Iwami the illusion that the place she came to today was different from the place she had performed before. The venue is almost the same.
Yan Kai's interest became even stronger when he heard Shi Jian Sha Luo say that the person who would play would be a potential newcomer among underground idols.
The so-called underground idols refer to those informal idols who focus on local performances, usually do not appear in mainstream media, and have not debuted through a brokerage company. The quality of these idols varies, although generally speaking they are far inferior to those of large brokerage companies. Official idols who have been rigorously trained, but there are also "dark horses" who occasionally appear. Since the idol group that will appear next is called "potential newcomers" by Iwami Sara and will officially debut soon, it is likely that it will be as well. A "dark horse".
And when Yan Kai saw the "potential newcomer" whom Ishimi Sharo called walking on stage, even though Yan Kai had seen a lot of big scenes, he couldn't help but want to say "f*ck".
"Is this the idol group you said is about to debut?"
Yan Kai looked at Sara Iwami and pointed at the three beautiful girls in idol costumes who caused cheers that could overturn the entire basement as soon as they appeared on the stage.
"Yes, that's right. Is there any problem? Their group is called 'Jakusho Girls'. Although the name is strange, they are indeed very popular in the neighborhood. Kaijun, is there anything wrong?"
Shi Jiansha Luo didn't understand why Yan Kai had such a big reaction. He was startled and answered Yan Kai in a much lower voice.
"Well, there is something wrong, but I can't quite figure it out at the moment. Is there something wrong with me, or is there something wrong with Japanese people's X-ness..."
Yan Kai looked speechlessly at the three beautiful girls who started jumping up and down on the stage, or should they be said to be "beautiful girls"?
