Tokyo Girlfriend Guide

In this lounge called kinkei, the murals on the wall are Japanese-style, and the chandeliers and floors are completely in the style of a Western banquet hall.Just like the golden light that you will see when you open the door, the inside can be described as magnificent.

Hojo Kyosuke also knows why this lounge is rented, so there will be no more weddings. Emotions are the essence here.

After a few simple greetings, Shigeru Hamamoto led the two new winners to his previous position.The two editors and Misaki went to find their own circles.

"Mr. Wancheng, Mr. Misaki, these are the two teachers I mentioned earlier, Kyosuke Hojo and Takeshi Aisaka."

Following Shigeru Hamamoto's introduction, the two men who were originally sitting also stood up, said polite words with smiles on their faces, and stretched out their hands.

Wancheng Yaji, the award-winning work is "Erzi Yuchuan Little Ghost", the content is very warm, it is the story of three primary school students playing in Erzi Yuchuan during the summer vacation.

Misaki Megaku's work is "The Grim Reaper Comes to My House", the content is equally warm, a Grim Reaper who is a serious cola lover, before judging a dying person, he will first ask the other party if he likes cola.Although the novel does not show that the god of death will favor people who like cola, but the author revealed during the interview that the god of death will indeed act differently according to the answers.

These things were all written on the information given by Misaki on the way here before, in order to let Hojo Kyosuke come to socialize now.So, not surprisingly, even though he had never heard of these two people before, he still called them by their names, and then quickly praised each other's works.

In less than a few people, the chat was in full swing, not at all like the people I just met.

Feng Saka, who was next to him, stared blankly, then turned his head to look at someone in shock.In his cognition, Hojo Kyosuke doesn't even care about winning awards, and he doesn't even bother to ask for it himself, let alone understand the information of the literary circle.

If he and President Konno hadn't had a lot of contact with each other, and knew that this person was purely lazy, they would have believed the rumors in the circle that Hojo Kyosuke was a madman who became famous at a young age and had no one in sight.

But now, of course, he also knew about the other winners in advance, but before he could find out the relevant information from his head, Hojo Kyosuke had already started talking to them.

This guy, could it be that he simply dislikes himself and Konno-san as a married middle-aged uncle, and thinks it doesn't match his style?Aisaka looked suspiciously at the other two authors on the table.

Although he is not a handsome person, but it looks like... He lowered his head and looked at his bushy beard and beer belly.

Hey, this is a symbol of happiness for a married man!

Besides, in front of Hojo, who can be confident?
"Oh, representative Hamamoto, why are you hiding here? I've been looking for you for a long time."

A voice came from the side, and Shigeru Hamamoto stood up quickly and looked back.A man in a dark red suit with a triangular mustache.

"Ms. Ishida, do you need anything?" While speaking, he couldn't help but glance at Hojo Kyosuke again. It was this teacher Ishida Hidenori who said that Hojo-san was arrogant. It seems that the relationship between the two may not be very good.

"It's nothing, just confirming the questions about the awards ceremony tomorrow and asking if there is anything I need to prepare myself."

Ishida Hidenori waved his hand, which was obviously a normal movement, but with his face, mustache, and dark red suit, it looked very exaggerated.

Sure enough, this kind of color and style of clothes, except for the little buddies in Niulang's shop, not many people can control it, Feng Saka just thought to himself.

Prepare?Ready for an acceptance speech?Shigeru Hamamoto shook his head wonderingly:
"Please rest assured that everything is prepared and the award ceremony will be held smoothly."

"That's good." Ishida Hidenori nodded in satisfaction, then turned to look at the other people on the table.

"By the way, let me introduce you. This is the author of "The Devotion of Suspect X", Mr. Hojo Kyosuke. This is the author of "Night Memories", Mr. Aisaka Takeshi." Shigeru Hamamoto's right elbow Slightly bent and introduced.

"Ah! So it's Aisaka-san, I've been looking forward to meeting you for a long time!" Ishida Hidenori stretched out his hand enthusiastically.

Seeing the hand stretched out to him, Aisaka just blinked his eyes, then widened them suddenly, feeling like he had heard this before somewhere.Oh, by the way, it was what the pretty lady said to Hojo when he first arrived at the gate of the memorial hall.

Ishida-san, I withdraw my preface, although your outfit is ugly, but you are a person with vision!
Seeing that the other party ignored Hojo Kyosuke to shake hands with him first, Aisaka Gang felt secretly refreshed, and quickly reached out his hand.

But he didn't expect that it would be difficult to separate the hands once they were held together.I thought that after a few pleasantries, the other party would talk to Hojo, but I didn't expect to talk for almost a minute without stopping.

The smile on Shigeru Hamamoto's face froze, and he looked at Kyosuke Hojo with the other two on the table, only to see that the other party still had a smile on his face, just as polite as before.

Not bad, it really is very self-restraining, he couldn't help but admire in his heart.

Facing others' compliments humbly is an ability that can be easily cultivated, but in the face of such obviously deliberate neglect and still maintain demeanor, it requires a good psychological quality.

Not to mention that the smile was still brilliant, not at all forced, even a man like him thought it looked good.

Feng Saka just struggled to break free from his hand, only to feel that the palms of his hands were sticky and sweaty. Although he was already a standard social person, he couldn't help but shuddered in his heart, but he felt amused again, and wanted to see Hojo. Guy's reaction.

Turning his head, he saw the bright smile on the other party's face, which was different from Shigeru Hamamoto's reaction, and Gang Aisaka's heart skipped a beat.

At the kind invitation of Chairman Konno, he had to watch all the videos of Hojo Kyosuke's kendo competition in junior high school with him "with great interest".

This guy also had the same smile when he was provoked before the game, and then he stabbed the opponent's throat straight on the field, sending the opponent's whole body flying, and after the person took off the mask, his whole face became Blue and purple, the ambulance squad was startled, and the ambulances came.

There is no doubt that it is a clean and neat book, although it is a piercing throat that junior high school students should not master.However, regardless of the movement, momentum or hitting position, there are no faults in the standard.

While watching the video, Chairman Konno couldn't help clapping his hands and jumping up, which shows how wonderful the attack was.But Gang Aisaka, who doesn't know much about kendo, felt his scalp shudder. I believe Hojo-san's opponent would regret the pre-match provocation.

"Oh, Hojo, is that the one who said that he is sure to win this year's Motoya Grand Prize?" Hidenori Ishida reluctantly stretched out his hand softly like a European lady.

Hearing this, Hamamoto and the other two authors looked at Hojo Kyosuke, wondering how he would react.I saw this man who seemed to be ready to resign himself just now suddenly patted Aisaka Gang on the shoulder, and said with a serious expression:

"Feng Saka, why did you suddenly perform a one-man show, hurry up and wash your hands, be careful that you will amputate later."

"Oh, ok ok."

Just now recalling Hojo Kyosuke's ferocious appearance, Aisaka subconsciously responded, not because he was timid, but because what the other party said seemed to have a convincing power.

Just like what Ishida Hidenori did just now, Hojo Kyosuke completely ignored the other party.Shigeru Hamamoto applauded secretly, a graceful counterattack!
And Hidenori Ishida, who had a proud face just now, turned into a liver color in an instant, which made Aisaka Gang on the side think again of the person lying on the ground waiting for a stretcher.

Hearing what the two said, Wancheng Yaji laughed out loud.Seeing that the laughter attracted Ishida Hidenori's unkind eyes, he quickly waved his hands and explained:
"I can't help being happy when I think of winning the prize tomorrow."

"Hahahaha, me too, I'm so happy." Misakime learned to let out a smile, and patted Wancheng next to him on the shoulder vigorously:

"It's an honor to be able to win the award together with Wancheng-san."

"Happy together."

The two sang in unison, which made Aisaka also laugh. The only ones who didn't laugh were Ishida Hidenori and Hamamoto Shigeru, but the latter also laughed when he saw the former's increasingly ugly expression.

"Ahem, I'm sorry, I can't help being happy from the bottom of my heart when I think of so many outstanding works being included in this year's general election."

"It's all thanks to the hard work of Hamamoto-san and the committee."

Kyosuke Hojo, who had already sat down and raised his legs, held up his teacup in greeting.

"That's right, it's the first time I've come to the Meiji Memorial Museum. I didn't expect there to be such a place in Tokyo." Misaki Megaku from Kyoto sighed.

"I'm really sorry that there are still such buildings in the countryside." Hojo Kyosuke responded with a smile. He has a Kyoto native at home, and he understands that it is a rural joke outside of Kyoto.

"Hey, don't say such things in this kind of place!"

"Okay, so it turns out that we slander us Tokyo people in private." Aisaka just joined the topic.

Seeing that several other people had entered the normal chat mode again, Shigeru Hamamoto, who was still standing, clasped his toes in embarrassment.I complained about Hidenori Ishida in my heart, doesn't this person know how to read air at all?His lung capacity is amazing, but I am not!
"Mr. Ishida, come here and let me introduce those editors to you." As the organizer, he had to bite the bullet and speak.

"Sure enough, he is indeed a genius who meets once in five thousand light years. At least this arrogance is worthy of the name." Hidenori Ishida was planted in the ground like a radish, motionless, swaying red and yellow leaves and began to speak.

"Aisaka-san, do you know that light-year is actually a unit of distance." Hojo Kyosuke said.

"Huh? Is this the case?" Feng Saka, a high-achieving student, was stunned for a moment. The newspaper said so every day, making him think it was a time unit.

Ishida Hidenori was also taken aback, he just got the nickname from the newspaper, but then his witty little brain turned:
"What I mean is that in the universe five thousand light-years away, there is only one genius like you."

"Oh, thank you for praising Ishida-sensei, it's fine to say this in private, everyone is equal here."

Hojo Kyosuke waved his hands reproachfully with an expression of "don't do this next time".When it comes to yin and yang, he will definitely not lose to others.

"You bastard!"

Ishida was about to step forward at the first step, Hojo Kyosuke was about to get up when he was overjoyed, and Aisaka was ready to stay away.

"Haha, Ishida-san, the editors over there have been waiting for a long time." Shigeru Hamamoto stretched out his arms.

"I hope you will be able to laugh tomorrow when you stand in the audience and applaud me for my acceptance speech."

After leaving a word, the big carrot was finally pulled out by Shigeru Hamamoto, still chattering.

"Hamamoto-san, I think your committee should be more cautious when nominating in the future."

Hojo Kyosuke raised his eyebrows, not knowing why the other party had such confidence.So he turned his head to look at Gang Aisaka, asking questions with his eyes.

"Ahem, mystery novels should have won the award for mystery novels." Feng Saka just took a sip of water.

Someone recalled the materials he had read before. Hidenori Ishida's award-winning work is called "14-year-old Memories". From the name, he knew that it was a story about a teenager and a girl.The works of the other three people on the table can also be summed up with "warmth".

I get it, no wonder it is called an award representing Japanese civilian literature. The most popular among the public is this kind of heart-warming novel that makes people smile.

"In fact, there were basically no orthodox mystery novels that won awards in the past." Aisaka continued.

"But I will win the grand prize," Hojo Kyosuke said.

With a firm sentence, Wancheng and Misaki saw the pride of this genius, but they also nodded along with Aisaka Gang in conviction.

I've already talked about the Civilian Literature Award, so I can't vote because I like the author? !
Even if it's just garbage novels written by ghostwriters, as long as it looks good, there will still be a large number of people who will blindly pursue it.Not to mention that the content of Hojo Kyosuke's novels is indeed very, very good.

"To be honest, after seeing Hojo-san's grand signing event at Kinokuniya, I also asked the publishing house to help me arrange a signing event there."

Wancheng Yaji smiled wryly and told the story.

"Haha, Wanjo-san still doesn't know Mr. Hojo well." Misaki joked with a smile.

"Yeah, at first I thought the bookstore didn't arrange a concert hall for me, and I was a little angry, but after seeing the number of people who came, I couldn't help but secretly rejoice. Fortunately, the bookstore and the publishing house did a good job of investigation in advance, otherwise I would be embarrassed."

Wancheng sighed. In the photos released on the Internet and on TV, behind Kyosuke Hojo's publicity sign, the line has been lined up for two blocks, and they are all young girls.It was really envious to see his teeth itching. At that time, he thought that there were so many beauties in Shinjuku, even if he was close...

"And the most annoying thing is that when I was going to the bathroom, I accidentally heard..."

"Is it really accidental?" Misaki asked with a smile.

"Of course it is! Don't interrupt, in short, I heard the clerks discussing who to vote for."

"Hahaha, needless to say, I know, I must have voted for this guy Hojo." Aisaka said with a smile, no one here knows better than him.

"That's right!" Wancheng clenched his teeth.

"I heard similar things in the bookstore in Kyoto. Those clerks actually said that if Hojo-san won the award this year, he should go to Kyoto to hold a signing event next year." Misaki gritted his teeth:
"Damn, it's for such a reason. Don't they know that the selection criteria is 'hope to sell in their own bookstore', not 'hope the author to promote in their own bookstore'!"

"Hahaha, this is the so-called inclusiveness of literature." Hojo Kyosuke said with a smile.

"You bastard! Is that how inclusivity is explained?"

"Isn't it? When I read the book, I imagined that there would be a man like Ishigami who loved me affectionately. Didn't the reading experience immediately improve by three levels. This is the sense of substitution in the novel."

"So, every author should get plastic surgery to avoid the disillusionment of readers?"

Feng Saka just said unhappily, if this is the case, wouldn't it make the readers goosebumps to write a love novel with a female perspective as the main point of view for a rough man like him.

After talking and laughing for a while, a few people chatted about Ishida Hidenori just now.

"Why is that guy so hostile to Hojo? Could it be that his wife divorced him because he fell in love with Hojo?"

As a good friend, Feng Saka just spoke unceremoniously, and did not change his position just because the other party looked at him high. He is not stupid, and knows that he has just become a tool again.Moreover, he is a noble mystery novelist. Although his works are not very popular in the Honya Grand Prize, his status in the literary world is much higher than that of the other party.

"Don't talk nonsense, who is the woman who can fall in love with that kind of person, you should think about it carefully."

Hojo Kyosuke was taken aback. Looking at himself, he could know how beautiful and virtuous the girls in his family must be.Just look at the red pickled radish, and you will know the other party's family.If Zhihua saw herself wearing that outfit, she would probably faint in a flash.

"Hahaha, Hojo-san is really ruthless." Wancheng laughed.

"He has to be thankful that there are too many people here." Feng Saka just sneered.

"What?" Misaki leaned over curiously.

"I don't know if you have heard that Tokyo is the strongest... Cough cough cough, let go, let go, Hojo, I can't breathe."

"You guy, the next time I see President Konno, I'm going to suggest to him to set up a kendo club in the association, and I'll draw you in, so we can communicate more when we have time."

Hojo Kyosuke let go of Aisaka Tsuyoshi's neck, and straightened his coat.It's so dangerous that the nickname was almost exposed.

"Forgive me! What I want to say is the sword demon king!"

So the topic of the few people turned to Hojo Kyosuke's kendo strength again, and they made an appointment to visit together when Kenzo Konno took someone to the main dojo.

"Anyway, there will be a good show tomorrow. I hope Hidenori Ishida will not look too ugly when he applauds you for Hojo's acceptance speech in the audience, otherwise I won't be able to help but laugh."

Wan Cheng picked up his teacup and took a sip, thinking of the liver-colored face just now, he couldn't help but laugh again.It's really not elegant at all. In comparison, Hojo-san is as elegant and graceful as the golden pheasant on the wall.

"It's okay, it doesn't matter, it's okay to laugh, it's something to be happy anyway." Misaki said with a smile, and he didn't know whether he was happy to win the award or the other party didn't win the award.

It is impossible to say that there is no comparison between writers, but both of them were hit by the bookstore clerk before they met each other. After meeting, they thought they would be difficult people to get along with, but unexpectedly It's funny, and there are people who are really annoying, so the atmosphere is good.

Therefore, it may be difficult for an excellent leader to unite the team, but it is easy for an annoying person to make everyone unanimous.

Chatting and chatting, Amamiya Miki, who disappeared for a while, came over to inform Hojo Kyosuke that dinner was ready.Someone belatedly remembered that he had said that he would invite the son of editor Shimomura over to have dinner with him, and teased Hidenori Ishida with a few friends that he was too happy and forgot.

After looking at the dishes brought by the waiter, a silver salmon steamer gozen, a chestnut cream dorayaki and mitarai dango, after tasting, he sent a message to Saki.Of course, it would not be to take Masao Shimomura over at this time, but to ask Xisaki to buy a few more packs to take away as a snack for the evening.

Dorayaki and dumplings are snacks that I often eat when watching their movies.

"Then see you tomorrow, Hojo-san."

"See you tomorrow."

After the farewell, Hojo Kyosuke went home and put most of the snacks in the refrigerator to save, and then went to school with a few dorayaki. Now the time is just right, and he can still catch the first class at noon when he arrives at school.

Zongwu High School, Class F, Grade [-]

Hikigaya Hachiman looked expressionlessly at the math test paper in front of him, at the lonely circle surrounded by countless spears.

Factorization?Cross multiplication?Double radical?
What kind of middle school names are these!What, can you decompose everything and understand the root cause after learning it?Are you all infected by Zaimozao?And the teacher too, if you shout out such a name, don't you feel ashamed that you are acting in a stage play?

The third in the national language level ... the fourth Hiki Valley Hapban said that he really couldn't understand the thinking of mathematicians in the second grade. He took out the math textbook that he would definitely not use in the next class, and put it on the test paper. He turned around body, leaning against the wall.

"Hi! All the quadratic radicals are expanded! The factorization is completely decomposed without any omission!"

It was obviously a drowsy afternoon, but Zaimoza was full of energy, gesticulating with his hands like chopping melons and vegetables, and shouting in a voice he thought was handsome.

"Hey, Zaimuza, don't you think this is too secondary?" Hikigu shouted weakly.

"Huh? Secondary school, isn't that just right?"

That is to say, but if these math problems are used as moves, they should not be used if they are not done correctly. A person like myself will definitely get a lunch in the first episode when he goes to such a world.

Well, the reason why Hikigaya Hachiman hates these middle school names is definitely not because he is not good at mathematics at all, but because of the practicality of traveling through different worlds.

"By the way, Hachiman, you reminded me that in the next novel, let's set up a character like this, and use mathematical formulas to fight." Zai Muzao clenched his right fist and hammered it into the palm of his left hand, and immediately took out the character after comparing his handsome posture. The notebook is furiously writing.

In fact, there was already such a character in the new show last March...

Looking at the energetic Zaimokza, Hikigaya swallowed this sentence into his stomach.Forget it, let him exercise his wrist strength.

But when he mentioned the novel, he couldn't help but turn his gaze to the empty seat in the lower right corner of the classroom.

Hojo-san...

No, didn't Hojo-san already said that there is no need to use honorific titles!Hachiman, keep your chest up, you can't respect the other party from the bottom of your heart just because the other party has achieved achievements that you will never be able to match, and use honorific names unconsciously.

"That's great, Motoya Grand Prize. Now, my best friend, let's go buy the new "Devotion of Suspect X" after it's published." Zaimoza said.

"Ah."

Although there is a copy at home, Bi Qigu still agrees without hesitation.He knew that the "new" that Zaimoza said was referring to the reprinted edition with the words "Honya Grand Prize" written on the waist of the book.As a qualified follower, this is what the title should mean.

I bought it and gave it to Komachi, and told her that as long as she worshiped this book devoutly every day, whether it was Hojo-san, who is a genius in science, or Ishigami, the protagonist of the novel, would bless her not to be like an idiot in mathematics.

The news that Hojo Kyosuke is going to participate in the Honya Grand Prize tomorrow was not spread by Sakura and Niuzi. For this kind of campus celebrity, the enthusiasm of the Neon people is beyond imagination.

For a whole morning, when get out of class was over, Hikiya didn't see that Yamauchi and Nishinomiya were surrounded by less than five classmates.He had no doubt that if Hojo hadn't been the head of the Kendo Department, the desk would have been changed by some students with strange hobbies after school.

Wait, as the chief demonstrator of my Kendo club, if I ask the minister to exchange tables, it should be possible to pass, right?
Hikigu recalled the previous practice in the kendo department, thinking that every time he was the first to practice against the minister as a demonstrator, he immediately puffed up his chest proudly.Rounding it up, I can be considered to have survived so many times under the hands of the devil, even if I only provide the lowest level of experience each time, it is enough to crush other people!
