In Tokyo, even the most fierce dragon is afraid of the hatchet

Nagano Nao started reading comics with great interest again, completely ignoring the three delicate beauties in front of him.

Sakurako Ikeda finally felt something was wrong.

He looked at Yasuko Sawaguchi with confusion, as if asking, "You slept with this guy, do you know what this idiot is thinking?"

Zekou's face felt slightly hot, he covered his mouth and chuckled, indicating that he didn't know either.

Ikeda Koye couldn't stand it anymore and looked at him asking if she should kill this idiot.

Flipping through the comic in his hand, Naoto Nagano didn't even notice that three pairs of eyes were looking at him strangely, as if they were looking at an idiot.

Ikeda Sakurako wanted to be angry and laugh at the same time.

There are three beautiful women right before his eyes, but this idiot just ignores them and only cares about reading comics. Is his brain broken?

I really don't understand the appeal of comics to men.

I could tolerate having my woman robbed, but now I am being ignored like a comic book. This is intolerable.

thump.

Ikeda Sakurako kicked him immediately.

The snow-white tabi kicked Nagano Nao's calf accurately.

He screamed in pain.

Nagano asked confusedly, "Why did you kick me, Ikeda?"

"Straight guy, are you still so naive? Can't you use your brain when I asked you that?"

"Nani?"

Are you really reading comics?

Are you still so fascinated by it?

Is there any hope for such single-celled organisms?

I feel like my hard work has been wasted.

Ikeda Sakurako said with a look of disappointment: "Toei is planning to adapt these comics into animations. Comparing them with Li Xianglan's drama, which one do you think will have a greater impact?"

"..."

If it was before.

Nagano Nao naturally didn't understand what this meant.

It's just a cartoon, right?

No matter how big the impact is, it’s just a matter of how much money you make.

But as one's status has improved, the levels of contact have changed, and one's horizons have also changed. One knows that even cartoons are related to politics, diplomacy, and power games.

Because since the Plaza Accord in 85, Japan has made preparations for both scenarios driven by the general trend.

On the one hand, a large amount of currency was issued to dilute the export pressure brought about by the internationalization and appreciation of the yen. On the other hand, overseas industrial expansion was accelerated to reduce domestic investment costs and leave room for today's situation.

As the world changes, the destiny of China has been determined.

With vast land, hundreds of millions of people, and everyone with the same skin color, there is no country more suitable for investment than China.

It is just a historical problem. It is not easy for an invader to invest there.

Although China needs Japan's capital and technology, there are disputes among the people of both sides, and the hatred left over from history must be resolved.

There is no doubt that culture is the key to deepening mutual exchanges and eliminating rifts.

"If we're talking about influence, naturally the Romance of the Three Kingdoms has a greater influence." Nagano Nao immediately realized why Ikeda Sakurako was angry, and immediately spoke out based on the possibilities he knew.

But I didn't expect that these words would attract three pairs of murderous looks.

"Asshole? In your eyes, is Xiao Jing not even better looking than the anime?"

"Nagano-kun, do you think my acting is terrible?"

"..."

"That was not what I meant!"

"To say that comics have a greater influence than Li Xianglan is just to say that Xiao Jing is not as good as comics."

"I know my acting is terrible, but is it really that bad?!"

Ikeda Sakurako glared, dissatisfied that her woman was looked down upon.

Yasuko Sawaguchi had a resentful look in her eyes, and it was unclear whether she was complaining that she was not as good-looking as the comics in the eyes of Nagano's straight men, or whether she was worried that the company's investment in the drama in which she starred would fail.

As for Ikeda Koye, she still had no expression on her face, but her eyes were quite unfriendly.

Normally I think women are pretty and I feel comfortable no matter how fierce they are, but now I just think women are really annoying!

However, now that he had provoked a hornet's nest, Nagano Nao could only admit defeat: "Can you please be reasonable?"

"Damn it, it's you who looks down on Xiao Jing, and you actually said that we are unreasonable?"

"Sister Xiaoye, calm down...please let me have my say."

"Xiaoye, let him quibble."

Get orders.

Ikeda Xiaoye put away the knife and gave a warning look.

But being stared at by three pairs of unfriendly eyes was still very stressful.

"In terms of short-term influence, Li Xianglan's anti-war drama will naturally have a greater impact. It can help the Chinese people understand that the Japanese people are also victims of the war, let the Chinese know our reflections on the war, and help the domestic people better understand history and eliminate the pressure of strategic investment."

"Aren't you stupid, straight man? I'm satisfied that you can understand this."

What the hell is that?

I don't quite understand why Sakurako Ikeda reacted so strongly and her attitude suddenly became so bad.

As for the prophecy of death, Nagano Naoto never took it seriously. If a normal person knew when he would die, he would have gone crazy long ago.

But even though Sakurako Ikeda is a pervert, she still looks normal.

As an outsider, he simply could not understand the extreme mentality of suppressing emotions and human nature, and preparing the future for all those he loved.

But he always knew that he was not as smart as Ikeda, and he was indeed training him. Nagano Nao was not embarrassed by being scolded. Instead, he smiled and said, "It's all because of your good teaching, Mr. Ikeda. If it was before, I would definitely not understand it!"

This is very comforting.

Knowing that she had just been too emotional, Sakurako Ikeda rolled her eyes and said, "If you say something like that, it means you're a straight man who thinks your youth is better than blue. The long-term impact won't be as great as this animation, right?"

"This... Of course not! It's mainly because of the difference between men and women and the popularity of television in China. Generally, women watch TV series, while anime is liked by men and can be adapted into games, becoming popular in arcades..."

Nagano Nao shared his understanding in light of the current situation.

Ikeda Sakurako no longer had the ability to plan and strategize as usual, with everything under control. Her thick eyebrows were slightly frowned, and she was obviously wondering if she was missing something.

Soon, she realized that she had overlooked a lot.

If we were to ask which period of Chinese history the Japanese admire the most, it would naturally be the Tang Dynasty.

But if you ask which period of China the Japanese are most obsessed with, it must be the Three Kingdoms period.

As early as the early Edo period, the nobility generally read Chinese books directly. The famous Confucian scholar Hayashi Razan mentioned in a letter in the ninth year of Keicho that "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was on his reading list.

Over a long period of time, in the development of Confucianism in Japan, the virtues of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, holiness and loyalty gradually evolved into benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, holiness and loyalty, and the core of loyalty was comprehensively strengthened during the shogunate era.

Because the shogunate era can be said to be the last era of the samurai.

In order to promote the spirit of Bushido, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms has many points that are similar to the spirit of samurai, so there are more and more literary works about the Three Kingdoms.

Influenced by literature, the Japanese at that time particularly liked a classic scene from the Three Kingdoms: a rider on horseback.

This is what is called personal heroism, the way of chivalry.

People believe that those who possess the ability to lead a war on horseback are Lu Bu, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun, but Guan Yu is the most loyal and is also often depicted in Ukiyo-e paintings of chivalrous men.

The most outrageous thing is that the great devil Oda is called the Cao Cao of Japan.

Takenaka Hanbei was called "Japan's Zhuge Liang" because he assisted Toyotomi Hideyoshi in winning a series of wars.

Even Honda Tadakatsu is called "Japan's Zhang Fei".

Such worship has led Japanese men to admire Guan Erge very much and to be obsessed with the Three Kingdoms.

The social production structure determines that men will inevitably be the main body. Although men will watch TV dramas, they do prefer games and animation, and arcades will come into contact with more people.

man!

woman!

I actually instinctively ignored such a serious problem!

But even so, it's so embarrassing to admit that I didn't think it through.

Don’t I, Sakurako Ikeda, have any respect?

"It seems like you have really made some progress, straight man. I thought this test would be difficult for you, but I am quite satisfied that you can give such an answer."

"..."

Chapter 233 245-246 Who is the one who is bullied

Assess me?

Obviously I didn't expect to say such a thing? ! !

But people have said that you can't compete with a woman.

Nagano Nao remained noncommittal.

Ikeda Sakurako smiled brightly and asked Sawaguchi Yasuko to bring the chessboard.

According to their mutual understanding, Nagano Nao went first, and the two began to fight.

It’s no wonder that the easiest way to improve in chess is to play against masters.

Sakurako Ikeda always looks several steps ahead, and often sets traps during the game, throwing out discarded pieces to lure players into the trap. Nagano Nao used to be unable to control his habit of eating pieces, and always surrendered quickly.

But as he often played against her these days, Nagano Nao gradually gave up his habit of eating pieces and started to think about checkmate, and his skills improved significantly.
