"Ha, Beidou, we should go on patrol."
Shanzhong walked towards the black panther, feeling that he had wasted time. And this time, Beidou couldn't believe the child. After all, it was too bizarre, and there was no logic between the words. I'm sure anyone who heard it would think it was a child's fabrication.
"Don't you believe me, Brother Beidou?"
The boy asked this, and Beidou didn't know how to answer. He wouldn't scold the child like Shanzhong did, but he didn't believe what the other party said. So he could only pat the boy on the shoulder.
"Okay, Kangfu, I've remembered what you said. I'll be careful to patrol this area. Now it's time to go home and do my homework."
"Beidou, what are you still hesitating about?" Shanzhong was already sitting in the driver's seat of the Black Panther on the roadside. He stuck his head out of the window and urged.
"Okay, I'll be there now!" Beidou responded, nodded to Kangfu, and walked back to get on the patrol car.
Seeing the TAC team leave, Kangfu was a little overwhelmed. He did lie before and was called a liar, but this time he was telling the truth! Why did no one believe him when he told the truth?
He felt embarrassed by the pointing and talking of passers-by, so he ran away.
Forget it, even if there is a super beast, it has nothing to do with him. He has already said that it is the adults who don’t believe it.
Yes, that's right, he is just a liar, and a thief. No need to put quotation marks, he did steal his classmates' things, and today he was pulled to the door of the classroom by the teacher as punishment.
Just think of it as another lie. I'm used to this kind of thing.
But wait a minute——
After running forward for a block, Kangfu suddenly slowed down. His home was in the next block, so the woods over there became his secret base. But when did this villa appear next to his house?
I remember seeing the surname on the house number just now is Zhoushan. Zhoushan, he didn't have any impression of this surname.
Was there a house here before? It seemed like there wasn't, but it also seemed like there was. Kangfu suddenly became unsure of his memory.
At this time, Kangfu saw Zenta and Jiro walking towards him. They were each holding something. Upon closer inspection, they were swimming shorts and swimming caps, as well as a life buoy that they held after the air was deflated.
"Zenta, Jiro"
Although they had just met half an hour ago and were called a liar by the other party, Kangfu had something to say at the moment and always wanted to talk when he saw a familiar friend.
"Where are you two going?"
Zenta and Jiro stopped walking, as did the other two, as they had just had an argument. However, unlike adults who hold grudges, children can quickly forget things that happened even a few minutes ago.
"Let's go swimming. Uncle Zhoushan and Aunt Zhoushan invited us. Didn't they invite you?"
"Have you forgotten? Kangfu can't swim, why invite him?" Jiro interjected.
"Ah, it seems so. That's no wonder."
If you can't swim, there's nothing you can do. Kangfu really can't swim. He's a landlubber and gets scared when he sees water, so he can't refute this.
But, Zhoushan? That was the last name written on the wall of the villa. Looking at the two people talking and laughing in front of him, Kangfu felt more and more abrupt.
"You mean Uncle Zhoushan and Auntie? Are you familiar with them?"
After he said this, Kangfu saw Zenta and Jiro looking at him as if he had said something particularly strange.
"What are you talking about? We are neighbors, of course we know each other. Didn't we often swim there in the past?"
"It must be because Kangfu can't swim, so he hasn't been there before. It's no use for you to tell him this."
"Oh, I see. How about it, Kangfu, will you come with us? It doesn't matter if you can't swim, I can lend you a lifebuoy. I've learned to swim, and I can swim even without a lifebuoy."
Kangfu shook his head.
"I'm not going, and you can't go either. That swimming pool is for super beasts."
"Super beast?"
"a ha ha ha"
The two of them were already immune to the words of the 'liar' and were too lazy to say anything to him. I really don't know what's so fun about lying all the time. No wonder no one wants to play with him, he must have no friends at school, right?
The two ignored Kangfu, who was "lying" again, which made them lose interest in continuing the conversation. They just left and walked towards the villa.
Very weird.
He had originally planned to ignore it, but a certain absurd feeling lingered in Kangfu's mind and could not be erased.
Neighbors? Uncle and aunt from Zhoushan?
How come he didn't know they had such neighbors?
Come to think of it, it was clearly not far from his "secret base", just out of the woods, only a few dozen meters away, but he had no impression of this villa at all.
However, if he was told that there was no villa here before, and asked to recall what it was like there before, he couldn't remember. It was as if his memory was covered with a veil, and the blurred part could not be erased no matter how hard he tried.
So, what is real and what is fake?
If he couldn't even trust his own memory, what else could he trust? Was this the retribution for his usual lies?
"Hey, do you think magic really exists in this world? I'm not talking about alien technology like monsters or aliens. I'm talking about real magic."
Reimu, who was speaking, was eating watermelon.
It's a small watermelon, grown by ourselves in the melon field behind Izumo Shrine.
Normally, watermelons are sold to pilgrims after they are harvested, and are considered one of the specialties of the shrine. However, these are the last remaining watermelons in the autumn melon field, and they have grown no bigger after the frost. Even if the shrine owner wants to make little profit, he will not sell such watermelons to others.
Most of these watermelons went into Reimu's stomach. And Kirisame Marisa, who came to "beg for money" - no, it was Touma Sanae, who ate some without hesitation.
"Ling doesn't want to eat either?"
"How dare you call Lady Freya death! Ugh—"
With a knife, Reimu couldn't accept the fact that her little follower had betrayed her in just half a day. Moreover, she hadn't even put down her own melon, and was betraying her.
This guy Toumori always called himself 'Master' in the past.
Although she never took it seriously, it was just a game between the two of them, but she still felt uncomfortable that he betrayed her so easily. Even if the other party was the "Guardian of the Stars", "Descendant of Clow Reed", or "Cardcaptor from Tokyo".
"I don't want to eat it. Eating autumn watermelon will give me diarrhea." Ling also refused.
Watermelon is cold in nature, and autumn watermelon is even colder. Ling used to be unable to eat cold food, and she has not tried it much since she came to this world, but she is still used to not wanting to touch it. You will never know the feeling of stomachache until you have experienced it.
Looking at the two people eating melons unscrupulously, I was filled with envy. Ignorance is bliss.
As for Reimu's previous question——
"I don't know either. Maybe there is such a thing as magic?"
"Oh, really? Where can I learn it? I want to learn it!"
"Ah, you want to learn? Then no."
"What? Such an irresponsible statement."
It's because I have to be responsible. If it's just a casual chat, it doesn't matter whether it's there or not, but Reimu is serious and really wants to learn it, so I'd better give up her idea.
"Oh, you fools. How can the secret of magic be revealed so easily? You must be sincere, death! I am different!"
boom--
Sanae dropped the watermelon rind and prostrated herself on the ground. The sound of her forehead hitting the wooden floor was a bang.
"Great Star Guardian! I, Sanae Toumoshi, sincerely ask you to teach me the secrets of female magic by bowing three times and kowtow nine times every day!"
If Lingye was frightened at first, now she has become accustomed to Toumori's disconnection.
It is impossible to teach. Ling herself doesn't know it, so who can she learn from?
Believe that there is magic in the world? No, Toumo probably knows that magic doesn't exist. After all, she is already in the fifth grade and will soon be a junior high school student. She just likes this feeling.
What's it called? Oh yeah, Chuunibyou.
Chapter 126 Concert
Ling didn't know whether magic existed, just as she didn't know whether the gods and monsters in myths and legends existed in the long past.
Maybe there is, maybe not. Anyway, it is gone now, and there seems to be no point in looking back to the past.
At least for now, magic is pure fantasy, existing only on television and in stories.
As of last week, Cardcaptor Sakura has already aired more than 70 episodes. The original filming schedule was episodes, and almost half of them have been completed, and it is expected to be completed by next summer.
Sakura is of course the heroine whose position cannot be shaken, Tomoyo and Rei are also recognized by the director for their acting skills (that's it, no shady dealings), and by sacrificing the scriptwriter's brain cells time and time again, they have gained a lot of screen time and time again, and have become the undisputed second female lead.
As one thing grows, another shrinks, so naturally the only thing that will be cut is the role of the original male lead, Xiaolang, and he has been gradually marginalized.
It doesn't matter. Who watches "Magical Girl" for the male lead? Director Asaka has let it go. The previous script was written off-base.
The original script revolves around Sakura and Syaoran. They first compete for the Clow Cards, then they rescue the damsel in distress and develop feelings for each other. I like you but I don’t say it. I know you like me but you don’t say it. I know you know…
Hey, we’re not filming Tokyo Love Story.
A few young and beautiful girls singing and dancing, holding magic wands in their hands, adding various light and shadow effects, this is the true meaning of magical girls!
What else is needed? Isn’t this what the audience wants to see?
What the audience wants to see is what he wants to shoot.
So on the last day of Lingye's "vacation", when she was packing her luggage and preparing to return to Tokyo, she received a call from Tokyo.
"Director Asaka?"
"Yes, it's me. Oshima-kun, sorry to bother you. I got your number from Tomoyo. I didn't expect you all have 'cell phones'. That must be the latest invention in America."
Normally, Director Asaka would call me by my name, but this time she called me 'Oshima-kun' and 'you', so she must have something to ask me.
Sure enough, after a few meaningless greetings, Director Asaka cleared her throat.
"Actually, this is what I think about our TV series plan to expand the content after episode 70 and continue filming."
How do you see it? Not really.
"I think 70 episodes is good enough. The script has already been written. There's no need to extend it further, right?"
Refusal to end the show just because of good ratings is not a good thing in Lingye's opinion. A drum washing machine who has been in the first grade of Teitan Elementary School in Beika Town for more than ten years has the most say. More than a dozen Christmases and Valentine's Days have passed, and the first grade is still the first grade.
Of course, the drum washing machine had not yet been invented, and even the animated drama "This is Kameari Park-mae Police Box in Katsushika Ward", which later broke the 40-year broadcast record, had not yet been completed.
Oh, yes, that "Sazae-san" was aired three years ago. This animation was still being broadcast until the era before Reiya, and it has been serialized for more than 6000 years, with more than episodes, breaking the Guinness record. But for now, its ratings are still mediocre.
In addition, a 70-episode TV series is considered a long series in this era.
Asaka on the other end of the phone breathed a sigh of relief and almost laughed triumphantly. This was the answer he wanted.
"Oshima-kun is right. I think so too. In fact, it was the Sanmu Group that contacted me and said they wanted to increase investment and continue filming more episodes."
The Mimaki Group is also one of the investors of this TV series. To be honest, the investment ratio is quite high. In fact, it is higher than that of Oshima and Daidoji. If we talk about the facts, they are indeed qualified to speak.
