Tokyo: The life of a literary giant begins with home self-defense!

Chapter 199 Cucumber Falls into My Mouth 6
"Small tail review?"

Ichiro Oobi was also among the people invited to this poetry meeting. Ryukawa Tetsu had seen the haiku he wrote, and he used the techniques in "Essentials of Haiku" well.

The needle-shaped leaves of the ancient cedar tree swayed gently, and Ichiro Oobi walked towards Toru Ryukawa with his hands behind his back.

The ancients liked to climb high and look far, because that would broaden their minds.

Ichiro Oobi has been in a particularly good mood recently.

The juniors whom he disliked were excluded, but his poems and haiku were recognized and he was invited to Yakuo-ji Temple.

The man, wearing a black haori and hakama, walked up to Ryukawa Toru and clicked his tongue.

"Longchuan is here too?"

"Why? Come to relax."

He is calm and composed, and has the demeanor of a senior master.

Natsuko Imamura thought that Ryukawa Toru would have a gloomy face and sneer at her, after all, he was not a big-minded person.

Oo Ichiro teamed up with others to push him away, then ran over to show off secretly.

Normally, Longchuan Che’s face should have turned cold, but this was unexpected.

"Hiss, has Mr. Xiaowei also been invited by the Haiku Association? I heard that there are quite a few people coming this time, and all of them are haiku poets."

Unexpectedly, Longchuan Che's expression was quite envious and he showed great respect.

Natsuko Imamura was stunned, and Ichiro Obi was also stunned.

The girl's eyelids twitched and she turned her head away from Longchuan. On the other hand, Ichiro Oobi looked at the staff member who was blocking Longchuan Toru with an expression of understanding.

"You want me to take you in?"

Long Chuan Che's forehead was covered in sweat, and it was obvious that he had taken a lot of effort to climb up.

The other party was stopped at the door and Ichiro Oobi misunderstood that he wanted to attend the poetry reading.

I heard from somewhere that there was a poetry gathering at Yaowang Temple, but I was stopped at the door without being invited.

The writers' imaginations are all excellent. Seeing the other party nod, Ichiro Oobi raised his head and showed great pride.

"Not everyone can enter this poetry gathering."

Ichiro Oobi stood with his hands behind his back, looking very arrogant.

Because the Yakuo Poetry Society is related to the New Haiku and the Akutagawa Prize, the people invited are all very qualified. Ryukawa Toru saw that there were professors from Kyoto University and some once famous haiku writers.

Ryukawa Toru and the eldest lady seemed to be the youngest people here. In Oobi Ichiro's opinion, these two young people were not qualified enough to go in with him.

Ryukawa Tetsu was only awarded the newly launched Youth Prize. As for Imamura Natsuko,
Oobi Ichiro frowned, as if he had heard this somewhere before, but he couldn't remember where.

"This is so embarrassing, Longchuan Tetsu, I'm leaving now."

As soon as the young lady glanced at Longchuan Che, she knew what this evil man was trying to do. With a slightly blushing face, she was about to walk into the temple.

Ryukawa Tetsu was invited here as the 'Owner of Dassai'. If someone invites him up later, Ichiro Obi will have a very interesting expression when he is so proud of being invited to the Yakuo Poetry Gathering.

After all, the source of the Yakuo Poetry Society is the new haiku, and Ryukawa Tetsu is the 'owner' of the new haiku.

Only Longchuan Che could do such a thing as pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger. The eldest lady was very embarrassed and wanted to walk inside.

"Don't go."

Miss, I'm sorry, Longchuan Che will not let her go.

The two of them came here together, so wouldn't he be exposed if the eldest lady went in?

Long Chuan Che grabbed the other person's slender wrist and was determined to pull the other person along:
"Look how interesting he is."

At the temple gate, Ichiro Obi looked like a rooster being praised by others.

Standing in the sun with his head held high, his demeanor and bearing were full of pride.

Obi Ichiro was indeed very annoying, and he had acted in a sarcastic way towards the young lady when he was at Kodansha.

"understood."

The eldest lady blushed a little, "But can you stop pulling me?"

Rather than teaching a lesson to a proud senior, the warmth of Longchuan Tetsu's palms was more of a concern. With the residual warmth from running down the mountain, it rubbed against his delicate skin.

How could a young lady who had never been in love tolerate such a hooligan?

At the gate of Yakuoji Temple, Ryukawa Toru flattered Oobi Ichiro and then took the two of them into Yakuoji Temple with Oobi Ichiro's look of appreciation.

It was dark when I came here yesterday and I couldn’t see anything clearly.

Walk into the Medicine King Courtyard from the Master Hall.

The temple is rich in colour, with wooden dragons and stone platforms carved throughout.

The "Six Senses Purification Stone Wheel" can purify the body and mind by turning the stone wheel, and the "Wish-making Wheel" can make wishes come true by shaking the large tin staff inside.

"Too childish, Longchuan-san."

Following behind Ichiro Oobi, the two of them looked like elementary school students.

This deliberate teasing behavior made the young lady sigh.

Normally, the two of them should be waiting in the inner courtyard for the poetry reading to begin, but now they have to follow Oobi Ichiro and slowly attend the poetry reading.

There are papers placed in various places in the temple. Because of the special nature of the "sketching method", everyone can pick up the paper and write poems at will.

To put it simply, sketching means writing whatever you see, no longer sticking to the previous format and being able to create freely.

Someone has already written:
-
日の影や梦れる Butterfly に通き通り (Sunlight penetrates the sleeping butterfly.)——
The sound of butterflies gnawing is quiet.)——
One day, things are clouded and the butterfly's shadow is reflected (One day, I watch the shadow of a butterfly without saying anything.)
Wait, write a haiku about spring.

White paper is hung in the temple, and a gentle breeze is blowing in the distance.

I don’t know who hung the sunny doll in the corner of the temple, but the melodious spring feeling is very beautiful.

"It's boring."

Longchuan Che rested his head on his head, while Xiaowei Ichiro walked in front of him with a majestic sword, not knowing that someone was waiting for him to have a change of expression.

Any pretense in front of Longchuan Che will soon become a black history. Longchuan Che looked at the girl curiously.

"By the way, why are you here at the poetry reading?"

Ryukawa Tetsu remembered that the girl was not very interested in haiku, and recently she liked mystery and social novels more.

I have already written two popular books, "Only Cats Know" and "After School".

I have seen "The Woman in the Purple Dress" once before and thought it was very good, but I don't know when I can see it again.

"Um"

The girl pinched her delicate chin.

"We are competitors. If you make it public that you are the owner of Dassai, it will be more likely that grandpa will give you Tsubakiri."

The so-called influence in the literary world is nothing more than works, momentum, and academic contributions.

Although haiku is a niche genre, the contribution of the owner of Dassai is high enough.

The eldest lady looked at Longchuan Che with a look that said, "You are really amazing."

"Please take care of me in the future, Longchuan."

This sentence was said in a very serious manner, as if raising a small white flag of surrender.

Longchuan Che felt something was strange, but he didn't know what was wrong.

The boy pinched his chin.

Along the way, you will pass the main hall and enter the Dharma Talk Pavilion.

Many people have gathered here and those who know each other are talking to each other.

Ryukawa Toru saw the monk Hongping, Shirakawa Taketo, and several judges from Kodansha.

The most popular ones today are of course Monk Hongping and Shirakawa Taketo.

As soon as Ryukawa Tetsu arrived, Shirakawa Taketo, one of the organizers of the poetry gathering, walked towards the three of them.
