Pure Love ✕ Insult Complex

After the meal...... Aniez and the others start cleaning up the dishes and getting ready to go home.

I was in a corner with a couch, drinking coffee after dinner.

Misuzu, Rukiko, Miko, Toriya-san, and Sister Sho are also... together.

"Recently... I was shown a high school textbook that Misoo uses"

Ji says...

"Clearly... that's too much inclusion. What Japanese high school students are learning… 150 years ago equals the knowledge of professors at prestigious European universities"

Guys, be quiet...... I'm listening to Ji.

"No, even then university professors, no matter if they were familiar with their specialties... few people would have even known the details to their knowledge of other fields. Current high school students are taught so advanced content"

"I'm just being taught... well, there are tests... but I don't know exactly what to do and I'm taking advantage of them. Me, functions, factoring... things I don't really know what to use for. I don't think I'll spend the rest of my life graduating from high school."

I... say.

"Indeed, by" general upbringing, "we may be offering too high a level of education in a regular high school."

"No, guys... I don't remember exactly, and I think I'll only remember about 'I learned that too' after the exams and exams"

"That said, something very interesting happened during this time."

Rukiko says...

"Me... I went to the theater to see a play... and the Kabuki actor starred in it, but it was a normal play in the world of samurai in peacetime."

"You mean commercial theatre?

Ji says...

"Yes, it is. In that play... a fellow samurai comes to the main samurai's house and asks. Then... the samurai's youngest daughter will bring tea to the guests."

To the customer...... tea.

That's it. What's going on?

"Then... in the front row of me, there was a girl in elementary school watching a play... and she said to her mother, 'That's crazy.'"

...... hmm?

"Oh... it was during the Kamakura period that I told Japan about my tea"

Ji says...

"Now, we know that tea was passed down to Japan even before prosperity... but it was only consumed in Kyoto's court, aristocracy, and some temples, and at the end of Heian, the culture of drinking tea was completely obsolete. Upon returning from Song, Yongxi planted tea seeds in Japan, and wrote" Coffee Curing "to measure the spread of tea… which means that tea is now consumed in Japan."

Rukiko says...

Oh, you learned something...... I remember "Coffee Curing".

"So before prosperity returns home… at the end of the peace era, there is no way that a samurai living in a poor country away from the capital can serve tea to customers."

Like right now, isn't it something that's normal in every house?

"Oh well... I'll teach you names in elementary school. And there are a lot of books for elementary school students like" Someday in the First Time. "

Toriya nods.

If you read a book like that or something, do you think it's weird that samurai in peacetime are drinking tea?

"And there's another problem."

Rukiko smiles nigga.

"The tea that came out on stage was now the 'frying tea' that would normally be served to visitors…"

"Oh well!

... Toriya-san?

"It was during the Edo period that" Fried Tea "was established!

"Oh, it used to be 'matcha', didn't it? I've heard that before."

That's what Misuzu says.

"So historically, it's wrong. But... other than the elementary school kids themselves, you don't care... that's not true"

Ah... me or something, if you watch a play on that occasion...

I don't really care. Even if the samurai of peacetime are sipping tea.

"I guess I care because I have 'knowledge'. That's often the case."

Ji says...

"If you know, it's something I care about the world of fiction. So on TV right now, a piece staged by the police is a struggle, right?

Tell the story... I shook it at Sister Sho.

"Yes, because viewers today have 'knowledge' of all sorts of police mechanisms... because, as in the past, we know that a fictional police station investigative 1 clerk 'tracks down the perpetrators of the murders in Shinjuku and shootouts in Tidal Residence' and 'It's impossible'"

"We push ourselves to the jurisdiction of the other precincts, shoot each other pistols, etc... it's too unscrupulous. In Tokyo, there's a police station above each police station... and you can't investigate a crime across a wide area with only one police station detective."

"A lot of people have that kind of 'knowledge'... so they get complaints right into the TV station." The portrayal on the air now is strange, "he said. That's why you can't fly anymore."

Xiang Sister...... says.

"Most importantly, a revolver-style pistol, but you can shoot as many bullets as you want without being able to bullet it... with a shotgun, though I doubt that messy entertainment like shooting down their guns will work in this day and age"

"Whatever it is... I'm pretty sure it's time for people's eyes to turn to the very details. And soon there will be a 'protest'. Afraid of it… TV and other producers must be shrinking"

Now... it's easy to 'protest' via email from your phone.

You don't have to protest them directly, you can write as many 'That piece is strange here' on the internet.

"The opposite is true... I don't have the 'knowledge', so I don't think there are many things I don't understand."

... Ji?

"Kids today already had cell phones when they got their minds on it, right? So I heard you didn't know about the days when there were no cell phones. You guys know the pay phone with the ten yen balls... is that red or yellow too?

"... a red phone?

Oh, my God.

"Again, don't you know. No, this too... I heard from the president of a company at a meeting during this time... that children today need to know about old Japanese sex."

... Houzok?

"No, not in the old days... not in the Warring States or Edo. It was only twenty or thirty years ago."

Ji says...

"For example, the price tags attached to the store's products now… would all be printed out beautifully in computer letters. Some stores use LCD screens so that you can quickly change the price"

Yeah, some department stores and supermarket groceries and household goods are LCD displays.

I mean......

"Zippy, are you going to the supermarket or something?

"I'm going on an inspection. The situation in Japan today is that I want to feel it on my skin as much as possible."

"Every time, it's very hard."

Sister Sho, who 'guards' Ji, laughed bitterly.

"It's easier if it's like an established luxury department store... because these days, I get to stretch my legs to places like shopping malls in the region"

"I'm sure I'll see the grocery store... because I know the air of the times."

... Oh, yeah.

"Because I don't want to be the kind of person who only inspects luxury stores and says things like 'I see trends in the Japanese economy'... No, let's get back to it. It's about the price tag in the store."

Ji, keep talking.

"Oh the price tag... until a while ago, it was all handwritten. It's a big, easy to see typeface, and it's thick with magic ink, so you write it. I was in commercial high school, and I had a class to write a price tag. Older times, he wrote in a brush."

"Uh, it's hard when it's handwritten, isn't it? The prices of grocery store vegetables vary depending on the day."

"You won't have a choice. There are no convenient machines, like right now. Yeah, there's no barcode, so you can't do it like you do now. The clerk had to memorize the price of the goods in the store."

... Yep.

"So is the restaurant. There's nothing like punching a button in a machine. The clerk had to memorize all the table orders... and the customer was pissed off when he didn't put them in the order in which he received them. If I didn't have that kind of memory, I wouldn't have been able to work in a restaurant hall."

... heh.

"Even if I bought the stuff, there was nothing like a white cashier bag like now... it was a brown paper bag, or it was wrapped in a newspaper and handed to me. It wasn't until the late seventies that those bags became used."

"It is."

"The vending machine buying the train ticket pressed a round button with the price on it. The ticket for the child had a red plate down under the button for the adult and when it was lifted there was a button for the child. There was a station staff on the ticket, rattling scissors, cutting tickets one at a time. The cut was shaped differently from station to station. There was no cooling on the subway and it was hot in the summer. Between the subway station and the station... there was only a moment when the lights went out and it got dark"

Ji says one after the other.

"None of them...... it was only a few decades ago. For me… recently. But you guys don't know the smell of Japanese life just a little while ago, do you?

"Well... I don't know."

I have no choice but to answer that.

"No... Normally, you know the sex of those days back in the movies. Watching an old movie...... 'Oh, this used to be it'. The drama is a photograph of the sex of that era..."

Ji's face gets rough.

"Kids nowadays...... wouldn't have a chance to watch old movies or anything like that, would they? I won't do it on TV. And the drama... the old ones are starting not to reruns"

... it is.

"No, that's... even on reruns, because performers and staff are now paid or... depending on the work, the production company is already gone and the owner of the copyright is no longer known..."

"That's not all, is it?"

Sister Shang says...

"The TV station people right now... they just want us to watch the stuff we're making right now. On reruns, we're not in our own hands, are we?

"Oh...... I didn't expect it to be gone until the rebroadcast of the epoch in the evening"

Ji sighs.

"Even if we're going to reruns, the pre-drama series we're doing right now... when it's horrible, we're going to reruns the drama we've been broadcasting since 9: 00 on weekdays, Saturday and Sunday afternoons, right? He wants to advertise a little bit. Anyway, if the stuff we're making doesn't hit, we won't appreciate it... that's all we're thinking about."

"That's an easy news show later. Repeat the same news over and over again. Between the news, use talent to pinch reports that don't matter to fill in time. Anyway, we try to get a little more of our own work. As a result, today's television... almost only broadcasts its current work. I don't think it's been rebroadcast in the '90s."

"Cell phones became cheaper and popular around 1996-97. Dakara, in the drama that preceded it... only people in special status had a cell phone."

Speaking of which... the drama we're broadcasting right now, we all have cell phones.

In other words, the drama before mobile penetration is barely broadcast.

"So the young people of today don't know... A little old Japanese 'air'. I can't understand that it smelled different from Japan's" air "today."

...... Ji.

"Japanese people today have different ways of thinking, preferences and habits... Even the Japanese aren't the same all the time. No, of course there are some things that have not changed at the root...... 'Japanese looks'. But the finer things on that foundation... are still changing from time to time."

The roots of the Japanese are the same. But... different than they were decades ago?

"After the war, the United States deported Japanese politicians and entrepreneurs to public office for 'cooperating with the army of fascism'. It's the same thing America's been doing in the Middle East lately. I thought deporting people close to the regime would 'democratize' Japan. But the truth is... Socialist forces just rose within Japan. It is time for the Cold War to deepen. The United States feared that Japan would become a socialist state as it was. So... I called back the politicians, the entrepreneurs, who were supposed to have exiled. Unlike the dreamy socialists, they are people who have actually moved the state. I can talk about seeing Genjitsu. But in that way… many human beings rebelled against the return of power when leaders were in the midst of the war, in the 55-year system… Socialist political parties accounted for one-third of Congress. And while the opposition… has a majority in numbers, it listens to the opposition and makes concessions… it was asked to 'root'. 'It's okay because I'm an opposition party,' they thought it would be shameful to step through a forced vote."

Misuzu is smiling at me.

Ji wants to talk... to you.

When I get back to "The Mansion" in the Black Forest, I won't be seeing you for a while.

"In" Sixty Years of Security, "the students who demonstrated... during the war, they were just kids. Many of their brothers were not killed in battle. In other words, there were extremely few people between the ages of five and ten years older. So in my early twenties...... I was able to get a big place. In contrast, the students who participated in" Seventy Years of Security "are the generation born in the post-war baby boom. Generation of so-called clumps...... anyway, there were a lot of people. But the generation of" Sixty Years of Security "took them lightly as" Children Who Don't Know War. "The students of" Seventy Years of Security "also had a complex in that they didn't know war. Most of all, even though they know the war, the guys at Sixty Years of Security... don't have a service experience. I am still a child...... I have experienced alienation, air raids, the war deaths of my parents and brother, and food distress during the war. So we only felt like... 'victims of war'"

...... yeah.

"Japan after the war...... it was just a 'generation struggle' all the time. The guys at Sixty Years of Security, who were children during the war, were angry that the leadership of the political and financial world... was no different than during the pre-war war war. A generation of 'Seventy Years of Security' clumps who didn't know about the war rode its wrath. Before the battle coming from ideological differences, there were generational bumps. Still alive...... there is a man who was the prime minister of Japan from 1982 until 87. He is, at the end of the war, the Commander of the Navy. In other words, he was the ranking soldier there. In 1991, a man who was in charge of war insurance as an Ozo bureaucrat at the end of the war became Prime Minister. In other words, just before the bubble collapse… Japanese politics was dominated by generations who were already adults and worked in the country during the war."

Heh, until that time......

"It was in 1993 that the 55-year system ended. Since then, Japanese politics has strayed. The prime ministers of the '60s security' generation, for the most part, remained in a weak position… were being flirted with in political party politics. There is only one exception. In the end, political instability continues… the biggest stray will be a change of government a few years ago. Here, for the first time, a 'seventies security' generation of prime ministers was born, making the state even more messy. The funny thing is that if you first became Prime Minister... you were protected by the system as the son of a governor at the time of" Seventy Years of Security "... the second is that you are in a completely different position than the man who rose to politicians through the student movement. I think they used to be in the same party. He said he grew up and thought completely differently."

Oh, those two... they are.

"Thirty years ago, if I had said anything anti-government and liberal, I would have dressed up... because every generation of that had a 'structure' that I didn't get along with. The last generation didn't care. But the generation that was an adult during the war... is dying. At least, we're all... retired away from key positions in the financial world. But the people who inherit that status now... don't weigh enough. That's what I feel."

Ji, sip the coffee.

"And that background is more 'air' that has changed from time to time than... My current child is not taught anything about that kind of thing. Even in the past...... I mistakenly believe that the same ideas, ethical standards, as we do today, were passed through. That, of course, is not the fault of the young kids today. I don't teach change, the adults are bad."

Do I... do I know?

Me too... I feel like I'm judging things just because of what I've seen.

What I've seen isn't a big deal.

"Oh well. Me and Ji... sometimes things are completely different."

"That would be so. I... have lived many times longer than you."

Ji, laugh.

"That too... in all the 'air' times. Because I've felt the change of times on my skin."

And look at the mistletoes...

"At least, Japanese girls are much prettier than they used to be. My legs are longer, my torso is shorter... and my face is cute. This seems to have something to do with more chair life and changes in diet."

"Yes, the culture of the right seat... says the knee boy will come forward. So I try not to sit in the right seat except during the archery of sundance."

Rukiko said.

"Because you don't have to bite the hard stuff now... there are some stories about the Japanese now having smaller jaws. Some kids don't grow up familiar."

Toriya-san says so.

"In the last fifty years, the Japanese have become completely different."

"Yes, Grandfather. I used to sew yukata for one person in one reverse fabric... but now that you're all in good shape, one reverse is not enough."

"Oh, I think I'll sew your husband's yukata."

Misuzu looks at me.

"Yukata... it will be a different time"

From now on, the season is headed for winter.

"Well, for next year... I'll be ready now"

Misuzu smiles.

"Cooking and all, I've lost to Luritan and Mana... I'll sew you up"

"Oh, winter is coming... why don't we knit?

Sister Xiang asks......

"The knitting... because the boom has already begun"

Misuzu smiles bitterly.

"They're all knitting their husbands' mufflers and sweaters... and they're starting to study it."

"Your sister will tell you."

Rukiko too...... do you knit?

"So I... thought I'd make it a less rival yukata"

There aren't that many kids who sew kimonos.

"Well, I... will study western magistrates and tanneries."

Rukiko says... stick around.

"Damn... you're a hottie"

Ji looked at me with a frightened face.

"By the way... I need to ask you a few questions"

"What... jizz"

"Suppose there's a man in front of you who doesn't agree with you. What are you gonna do with him?

I...

"If you don't harm me and my family... I'll leave you alone."

"You're not going to give him an opinion and let him change his mind?

"I don't think. Because... there's no man who would change his mind because I told him something. I wouldn't dare make contact with someone like that. I might get caught up in trouble. I don't mind... I don't like 'family' getting involved."

"Hmm... right"

Ji looks me in the eye.

"So what if he... a man of disagreement with you is planning to do harm to you or your 'family'?

"... Shut Up"

... I am.

"I don't care what hand you use, he won't be able to reach us."

Toriya's looking at me.

"Does that... mean using violent means?

To Ji's inquiry......

"You bet. That kind of thing doesn't open up Lathi to discussing... because my 'family' is getting more and more dangerous. If you feel like this is an enemy, you'll crush it fast."

"... you also assume to kill?

"You bet. If you're a bad person... you're a threat to us just because you're alive. I won't hesitate to kill someone who can only shut me up."

I answered.

"That kind of 'split up' is what I've already done... your awesome. Don't you have feelings for the enemy?"

"Because... you can't afford that. The more I think about 'discussing it, the better'... I'm not taking a sweet look at the world"

"This guy... what do you think?

Ji asked Toriya.
