I am a literary giant in Japan

Ever since Chihaya Ruri was admitted to the Shinseiki Ochanomizu University, Chihaya Touo, as if he had completed his mission, rarely sat and talked with his daughter for a long time.

Seeing her father acting out of character, Chihaya Ruri trotted over to sit beside him, looking at him curiously.

"Cough cough." Chihaya Touo coughed a few times, attracted his daughter's attention, and then shyly pulled out a March issue of "Mass" from behind him.

"Ah?"

Chihaya Ruri was so familiar with this cover that if the magazine in her father's hand had not been obviously a little worn, she would have almost thought that the "Popular" magazine she had hidden in the room had been discovered by her father!
"Father, what are you doing?" Chihaya Ruri sat upright, her hands placed obediently on her thighs, and asked with her head tilted.

In front of her father, she always pretends to be a good girl.

"Liuli, I remember that you used to like literature very much." Chihaya Touo stroked the "Massive" in his hand. The impact of "Call Me 1" had not completely dissipated. While he was still in shock, he wanted to talk to his daughter about literature, which he didn't like very much before. It always felt a bit strange.

But... this novel is really well written!
"Yes." Chihaya Ruri widened her eyes slightly and looked at her father in disbelief.

From the tone of his voice, it seems that my father no longer minds me reading novels secretly?
Realizing this, Chihaya Ruri felt a little horrified.

Why does this feel even scarier than "Call Me If You Can 1"?
At the same time, in a VIP intensive care unit in the medical and nursing building of the Tokyo University of Science and Technology.

After receiving a call from teacher Keiko Kimura early in the morning, Jabami Rei drove here without stopping.

Accompanying her is Kitagawa Naoko, who has recently become a big hit in the literary world with "A Ghost Call 1".

When they heard that it was the teacher who was still recuperating in the hospital bed who called them over, Jabami Rei and Yumeko felt as if they were back in their school days and were about to be scolded by their teacher.

After writing "A Ghost Call 1", Yumeko, knowing that Mr. Osamu Takeuchi disliked this kind of "pulp novel", simply stopped visiting him to avoid being scolded by the teacher.

Unfortunately, what is coming will come.

She didn't dare to come over, so Takeuchi Osamu directly asked Kimura Keiko to call her over, which instantly shattered Yumeko's hope.

At this time, "Naoko Kitagawa", the recognized queen of film and television in the Japanese entertainment industry, the president of Kitagawa Entertainment, and the author of the recent hit novel "The Ghost Call 1", stood in a row in front of the bed like elementary school students who had made a mistake, with their heads down, waiting for the "criticism" of the stubborn old man on the bed.

Keiko Kimura, who saw all this, smiled secretly and was looking forward to how the stubborn old man would comment on the works of his two most proud students.

In the past, whenever he had free time, Takeuchi Osamu would complain that these two proud students who had inherited his true teachings were not doing their jobs properly. They were obviously extremely talented but had "indulged themselves in depravity". When chatting with old friends such as Kimura Keiko, he often regretted that the two did not write novels.

it's good now.

Both Jabami Rei and Yumeko wrote novels, the latter of which was directly published and became a hit.

But what both of them wrote were the things that the stubborn old man disliked the most.

Keiko Kimura couldn't wait to know the stubborn old man's true feelings at the moment.

"Crash-"

The only sound in the quiet ICU was the turning of pages, and the other three girls didn't dare to breathe.

After a long time, Takeuchi Osamu slowly closed the book and waved to Yumeko.

"Teacher" Mengzi was terrified, but she still went to the bed and sat down.

"Yeah." The expression on Takeuchi Osamu's face was intimidating without being angry. He opened the March issue of "Popular" in his hand again and came to the serialization interface of "The Call 3".

Mengzi suddenly became extremely nervous.

"How did you come up with this idea?" asked Takeuchi Osamu.

Mengzi was stunned for a moment, and then told her everything about how Kitagawa Hide had guided her in writing this novel.

Takeuchi Osamu listened to her retelling very carefully, and then asked a few new questions based on her words.

At first, Yumeko thought that Mr. Osamu Takeuchi would sneer at "The Call 1" and was prepared for a storm.

But Takeuchi Osamu's real reaction was completely different.

He had obviously read the serialized chapters very carefully, so carefully that he could remember every detail clearly without having to read them again.

In addition, Takeuchi Osamu also shared his views on practical issues such as the novel's plot, character settings, and structural arrangement.

This is obviously a detailed analysis done for the purpose of studying the novel!

Although Takeuchi Osamu did not explicitly comment on Yumeko's "The Call 1", his every word and action were an affirmation of the novel.

This made Mengzi, who was originally frightened, very surprised and extremely happy!
Since being admitted to the Faculty of Literature at the University of Tokyo, she and Jabami Rei became students of Takeuchi Osamu, and have since been trying to gain recognition from this industry leader.

Unfortunately, Takeuchi Osamu has always criticized his students harshly and basically never affirmed them, just like the parents next door.

Unexpectedly, this time, she actually used the topic that the teacher was least optimistic about and wrote a literary work that the teacher was quite satisfied with!
".These are the views on the novel. You can listen selectively to some of them, but there is no need to accept them all.

I'm not very familiar with this kind of subject matter, and many of my ideas may not keep up with the trend of the times. If you listen to one side of the story, it will hurt you, understand?"

Takeuchi Osamu's tone was rare and gentle, and he gently patted Yumeko's head while speaking. At this moment, he looked like a kind old man, which made Jabami Rei, who was always afraid of him like a tiger, stunned.

"Yes, teacher, I will try my best to write it well!" Mengzi was greatly encouraged and bowed 90 degrees to Takeuchi Osamu to show her determination.

"Well, just do your best and don't be too hard on yourself. This is your debut work, and not every blank slate writer can amaze everyone with his debut work like yours.

Geniuses have their own way of writing, and we ordinary writers have our own path.

There are thousands of ways to the palace of literature, and talent is by no means the most important factor. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself.”

Takeuchi Osamu knew that this relatively introverted disciple could easily lose his temper. Now that he had finally written a novel that looked worthy of winning a newcomer award or even the Naoki Prize, he couldn't let it fail because of his mentality.

Mengzi, who had never received such gentle encouragement from a teacher, was almost moved to tears. She kept nodding her head and could only use "hmm hmm" to show her determination and perseverance.

Seeing this scene, Jabami Rei was extremely envious.

As the true "successor" claimed by Takeuchi Osamu, her life has never been as good as Yumeko's.

When the stubborn old man talked to her, four and a half out of five sentences were basically scolding her for being a good person, and the remaining half was often "Sooner or later, I will be pissed off to death by you."

If one day the stubborn old man treated her the same way he treated Yumeko, Jabami Rei would feel like the sun had risen from the west.

Because I know it's impossible, I'm really a little envious and jealous. "Why are you still standing there? Come here!" After encouraging Yumeko, Takeuchi Osamu's face suddenly fell.

Seeing Sheguli standing there like a stick, he became furious and immediately scolded her harshly.

These words seemed to have triggered some mechanism in Jabami Rei. She woke up instantly and then took small steps towards the bed.

"."

Seeing that she was moving very slowly, Takeuchi Osamu almost reached out to hit her with the hand holding the stack of manuscript paper.
"What are you dawdling for? Hurry up! Do you want me to get up and ask you to come over?

I will eat you or beat you to death, what are you afraid of? "

This stubborn old man really didn't treat me well!
Jabami Rei said "oh" with a bitter face and moved a little faster.

Kimura Keiko smiled at Yumeko and whispered, "That's what they call one thing conquers another. I heard that Jabami-san is famous for his bad temper in the entertainment industry, but in front of your teacher, he is as obedient as a porcelain doll."

"Yeah! Li-chan has been afraid of the teacher ever since she met him!" Mengzi also smiled.

In fact, she envied the relationship between Jabami Rei and Takeuchi Osamu.

In the eyes of most people, although she is known as the "successor of Takeuchi Osamu's legacy", Jabami Rei is always "lectured" by Takeuchi Osamu and is "disappointed" by him.

The two are teacher and student, but also like grandfather and grandson. When Takeuchi Osamu teaches Jabami Rei a lesson, he is like a grandfather spanking his naughty granddaughter.

And Jabami Rei, who had a sad face every day during her student days, did have a miserable life in the literature club.

But in fact, Mr. Osamu Takeuchi is a person with a sharp tongue but a soft heart.

He often punished Jaburi Rei to write self-reviews and short essays, but in fact it was to improve her writing style and writing skills;
In every exam, Jabami Rei always gets a very low score, which is totally unlike what a "big sister of the literature club" should be like, but this is actually due to Takeuchi Osamu's extremely high expectations and demands of her.

Takeuchi Osamu gave her low grades, but he would give her extra lessons, and then at the end of each semester when the final review was given, Jabami Rei would always get the only "S+";
Takeuchi Osamu scolded his useless disciple every day in various places, but he never denied that she was his designated successor.

Even after Jabami Rei resolutely chose to enter the entertainment industry and gave up being recommended to study at the Faculty of Literature of the University of Tokyo, whenever he was asked which disciple would take over his position in the future, he would still say Jabami Rei's name without hesitation;
Takeuchi Osamu loves to criticize Snake Rei, but whenever someone outside really says that his disciple is not good enough, he is the one who refutes it most vigorously.

When Jaburi Rei was fired for hitting someone, and then got into trouble because of the deaf-mute incident, the first person to publicly support her was Takeuchi Osamu
Thinking of all these things, Mengzi couldn't help but envy Jabami Rei.

Teacher Osamu Takeuchi is like an old father to them.

The old father's favorite cricket is his eldest daughter, and he seems to love his youngest daughter the most.

But in fact, his real favorite is the eldest daughter.

".What kind of shit is this! Look at you! After not writing for a few years, all your word choice and writing skills have been lost to me?
Look at this chapter, it could have been written with stronger emotions, why was it just glossed over?
And this. From what you're trying to say, "The Overlook" isn't really the beginning of the story timeline.

Well, the idea is excellent, but you wrote it and

I won't say any harsh words.

Takeuchi Osamu's body kept rising and falling, holding a manuscript paper full of various comments in his hand, as if he couldn't wait to stand up and scold Jabami Rei.

Jabari Rei kept her head down and accepted the criticism timidly.

"Back off? Back off again?" Takeuchi Osamu glared at her. "Are you worried that I'll jump up and hit you on the head with the manuscript paper?"

This is a popular internet slang term recently. It sounds quite funny coming from the mouth of Takeuchi Osamu, an old man in his 80s.

"No, my feet just feel a little numb." Jabami Rei waved her hands quickly.

"Can't you sit down since your feet are numb? I didn't ask you to stand all the time!" Takeuchi Osamu raised his voice again.

He asked Jabami Rei to sit next to him and began to guide her one manuscript at a time.

The story of the "Kara no Kyoukai Series" itself is very solid, but Nasu Kinoko's writing style is more like a light novel, and his writing is also very average. Copying it completely is not the best choice.

So after coming up with this idea, Kitagawa Hide briefly described the atmosphere of this series of stories, and then let Jabami Rei play on her own.

Jabami Rei, who hadn't written for a long time, was indeed not very good at writing, which made Takeuchi Heo, who thought this was a good story template, feel very disappointed.

However, although he was angry, Takeuchi Osamu was still very pleased to see that his disciple immediately got into the state after finishing the first volume.

He could see that this novel actually excelled in creativity and novelty, and was similar to the light novel genre that had recently become popular.

But Jabami Rei, who possesses extraordinary talent and the ability of a graduate of the Faculty of Literature of the University of Tokyo, managed to elevate it to several levels with her recovered writing skills.

This is what Takeuchi Osamu hopes his disciples can show.

She will definitely write pure literature again in the future. With this ability, her works will definitely be great!

At that time, I might be able to close my eyes peacefully.

Takeuchi Osamu thought so in his heart, but he was not merciful with his words.

Seeing that the two were going to talk for a long time, Kimura Keiko winked at Mengzi, and the two quietly left the ICU.

"Azhi is a guy who likes to say one thing and mean another. He obviously likes this novel of his disciple very much, but he has to pretend that this novel is worthless. Really..."

Kimura Keiko smiled helplessly.
"If you really don't like it, why would you write so many annotations?"

"Yes, the teacher has always liked Li-chan." Mengzi nodded.

"Oh, by the way, I heard that the Beichuan Library will release an online version on the 10th before the Internet. Can you tell me about the book Ring World?"

Keiko Kimura, who has not written for many years, wrote several horror and suspense novels when she first debuted. Unfortunately, this subject matter has never been popular. Even for her, she had to give up sadly after failing to make any splash.

Now that "Call Me If You Can 1" has become a big hit, her dream has been rekindled.

I heard that the idea actually came from Kitagawa Hide, so Kitagawa Hide was the one who really started the horror literature trend.

She really wanted to know what kind of shocking work a young man who had one foot in the highest hall of literature could write on this subject.

This could ruin the reputation he has built up over the years! (End of this chapter)
