Chapter 111 15. The more popular the better (5k)

"I'm back!"

Ichiro Matsuura returned home, put his shoes in the entrance hall, and jogged into the house.

"Okay, then go wash your hands quickly. There are small cakes we just bought in the refrigerator. Dad can eat when he comes back."

Mom's voice came from the kitchen.

"Wow! I have cake to eat, so happy!"

Ichiro Matsuura happily opened the refrigerator door and saw a beautifully packaged matcha-flavored cake, and couldn't wait to take it out.

This cake doesn't look cheap at first glance. It probably costs 2,000 yuan, right?

While thinking this, Matsuura cleared the coffee table, put the cake on the table, turned on the TV and tasted it.

…

Ichiro Matsuura is 14 years old and is now a junior high school student. He gets out of school on time at 4 o'clock every afternoon and has no special hobbies.

He was reluctantly dragged into joining the shogi club. During this time, through shogi, he developed a strong interest in some ancient history.

But there are no club activities this afternoon.

Rather than saying that there are no activities, it is better to say that the leader of the club requires everyone to go home and watch TV.

Because two cartoons will be broadcast on TV Tokyo this afternoon. The first one is "Hatsuzakura Senki" produced by Sunrise, also known as Risheng Animation. Although it has adapted a lot of history, it can still make people remember the Warring States Period.

Understand the events and characters.

The other one is "Onmyoji" produced by Kyoto Animation

It is said that it is adapted from the game. Matsuura himself is not old enough to buy the cassette of Onmyoji, but he only heard that the plot is quite good.

In short, he is looking forward to these two cartoons.

At 5 o'clock, TEPCO officially started broadcasting "The First Sakura Wars"

In the picture, cherry blossoms are flying, swords are clashing, lightning and thunder...

The theme song sounded, and many characters appeared on the screen one after another. The male protagonist, Oda Nobunaga, Tokugawa Ieyasu, Toyotomi Hideyoshi...

Even though we don’t know the general direction of the plot yet, after seeing the bloody battle scenes, Matsuura can probably guess what kind of cartoon this should be.

After the theme song ends, the animation officially begins.

In the picture is a kendo hall.

Two young men wearing green faces and kendo uniforms attacked each other.

The bamboo sword made a clanging sound.

"noodle!"

The bamboo sword slashed down suddenly, and another boy swung his sword, and the two bamboo swords intertwined.

"noodle!"

"noodle!"

The offensives of both sides were quite fierce, and they did not give in at all. Their footsteps kept moving on the ground, and the battle situation was extremely anxious.

It can be seen that both young men's sword skills are very superb.

While advancing and retreating, one of the young men's steps was unsteady when he retreated. The other party found a flaw, and then the bamboo sword drew a flash of lightning in the air.

"noodle!"

Snap!

Hit the mask hard.

The two people fell to the ground, and then the guy who was hit in the head lay on the ground and let out a sigh.

"I lost."

After taking off the mask, two delicate faces were revealed.

One of them has a shorter hairstyle, a hedgehog head, thick bangs, and a round face. You can tell he is the male protagonist at a glance.

The other one has slightly longer hair, thin cheeks, and is softer in comparison.

In the 1990s, the male protagonists of neon cartoons basically looked the same, with round faces, big eyes, and short hair, in order to reflect perseverance and kindness, so that the audience could feel the passion of teenagers in them.

Correspondingly, the handsome fox-like guy with triangular eyes often plays the second male lead in TV animations.

(Yes, I am not talking about Sakuragi Hanamichi and Rukawa Kaede.)

As expected, the round-faced man is the male protagonist, his name is Sanada Ippei, and the other handsome guy with a soft face is named Yasutani Kiyoshi.

The two have been good friends since childhood. They studied in the same school and joined the kendo club together. They have been studying kendo together for some time.

This is quite similar to Ichiro Matsuura, except that he doesn't have such superb skills as those in cartoons.

After a fierce fight, the two of them, with sweat on their foreheads, sat at the door of the kendo hall with tea in their hands and looked at the flaming sky outside.

It was still March, and the cherry blossoms outside were in full bloom, floating in like snowflakes.

The two chatted with each other and talked about their favorite Warring States figures.

"Of course it's Oda Nobunaga!" Ippei burst out laughing, "If the Demon King of the Sixth Heaven hadn't died in Honnoji Temple, he would have been the one to unify the world, and there would be no monkeys or the others behind him.

"

The other boy smiled softly with his eyes, "What I like...should be monkeys."

"Toyotomi Hideyoshi can step by step from the lowest level, an insignificant little person to the best in the world. I really admire his perseverance and courage."

"For someone like me, I may never be able to do what he did."

An Gu looked down at his palms.

The light of dusk gathered in the palm of my hand, and the surrounding light was soft. Although it was golden in tone and it was spring, it always gave people a feeling of being close to autumn.

Seeing this, Matsuura couldn't help but feel envious.

How happy it would be to have such a good friend in life.

"Hey, Yiping." The second male lead with long hair raised his head.

"Um?"

"No matter what happens in the future, we will always be best friends."

"Yeah." Yiping nodded seriously.

At this moment, the eyes of the two people suddenly changed——

The surrounding light also changes, becoming brighter from dusk just now, but this brightness comes from a more vivid red.

Because there was a raging fire in the kendo hall.

The fire lit up the night sky, turning the whole world red.

The two people hurried towards the door, but they never expected that the door was locked.

The cherry blossoms were burning with flames and scattered in the courtyard, and the lawn was full of sparks.

"No! You must get out!"

The two people quickly looked for something to break the door open.

During this process, the long-haired male second player was burned with a large scar.

Yiping rushed to the courtyard door with all his strength, regardless of his own safety.

Bang!

The male protagonist used too much force and when he pushed open the courtyard door, his body rolled out.

As the camera moves, when he stands up, everything around him changes.

The fire was blazing.

There were fierce cries of killing and the crackling sound of burning wood.

Ruins of ruins and broken walls, as well as the intersection of various swords.

Mars are flying all over the sky, resembling the petals of cherry blossoms.

The camera opened and the male protagonist was no longer in the original modern kendo hall, but in the courtyard of a temple.

"Akechi Mitsuhide!"

"It's Mitsuhide Akechi's army!"

"Akechi Mitsuhide betrayed Oda-sama!!"

"Huh? What... happened?"
To be continued...
