The lonely Hikigaya Hachiman wants to become the king of mystery novels

"Is it really okay if you don't go home today?"

Hikigaya Hachiman believes that the Yukinoshita family's family rules are still very strict about staying out at night.

"Well, I just had a phone call with my mother, and she knew that there was really nothing we could do about the weather today, so she naturally agreed. It's just that my sister was a little excited and insisted on letting me give you the phone, saying that she would not be relieved until she heard your voice. "

Yukinoshita Yukino said, as if recalling something interesting.

"Then, how did you convince senior sister?"

Hikigaya Hachiman knows that Harano is actually a girl control, so she should be very worried about Yukino.

"Persuading? Not convinced at all. I just had a video call with her and pointed the camera at you, and then she hung up the phone all of a sudden. It was really strange."

Yukinoshita Yukino said innocently.

Chapter 84 Hikigaya Hachiman is a gentleman

"Hikigaya-kun, the bathroom is free."

At nine o'clock in the evening, Yukinoshita Yukino walked into the living room wearing a bathrobe and wiped the remaining water drops on her hair with a towel.

"Oh, I understand. How about Yukinoshita-san, does Komachi's bathrobe still fit?"

Hikigaya Hachiman's apartment has two bedrooms, one is Hachiman's own room, and the other room, in Hachiman's original idea, was reserved for Komachi to spend the night when he came to play from time to time.

But now, whether it was the room reserved for Komachi or the bathrobe and pajamas originally bought for Komachi, Yukinoshita Yukino took the lead.

However, Hikigaya Hachiman found that Yukinoshita-san was very annoyed that he could fit into the bathrobe and pajamas that Hachiman bought according to Komachi's body shape.

"Well, I really feel sorry for being able to wear Komachi's bathrobe and pajamas perfectly, Hikigaya-san."

Yukinoshita Yukino said somewhat angrily.Hikigaya Hachiman thought it was necessary to comfort her.

"Don't be anxious, Yukinoshita-san, we are all still junior high school students. I believe you have a lot to do."

As soon as Hikigaya Hachiman finished speaking, he felt a hand knife gently fall on the top of his head.

"Then let me lend you some good words, Hikigaya-san."

Yukino said softly, stroking Hachiman's hair back and forth while maintaining a knife-like posture.Hikigaya Hachiman knew that the other party was currently wearing a loose bathrobe, so he had no intention of looking back. He was an upright and upright gentleman.

"Then I'm going to take a shower, Yukinoshita-san. You can go back to the bedroom or stay in the living room as long as you like."

Hikigaya Hachiman opened the bathroom door, but the fog inside had not completely dissipated.

"So you didn't take a bath..."

Looking at the empty bathtub, Hikigaya Hachiman said a little disappointed.

------

There was still heavy snow falling outside the window, but under the snow inside the house, Yangno's mood was not at all calm.

It was now past nine o'clock in the evening. She had just finished taking a bath and received a selfie from her sister Yukino. In the photo, her sister was wearing a bathrobe, sitting on an unfamiliar sofa, wrapped tightly.

What really made Yangno feel uneasy was that in the corner of this photo, there was a familiar figure, and that was naturally Hikigaya Hachiman.

Yukinoshita Yono knew very well that nothing could happen to her junior classmate or her sister Yukino on this night.

However, the mere realization that these two people were in the same room was enough to upset her.And the more disturbing thing is yet to come, that is, Hachiman and Yukino will be neighbors for at least three years.My sister can go to the other party's house at any time, just like today, looking for any reason, or even no reason at all.

"Damn it, I'm so envious...No, it's so abominable."

Yukinoshita Harano was sulking alone in her room, and she decided to call Hikigaya Hachiman.

"Du-du-du. Hello, sister? Do you have anything to do with Mr. Hachiman? He is taking a bath, you can tell me first."

Yangno ended the call directly.

------

"Is this the place where you will write in the future? Hikigaya-san."

Yukinoshita Yukino, who had already changed into pajamas, was pacing in Hikigaya Hachiman's room. This pajamas were cute, and the small pendant cotton balls on the clothes swayed back and forth with her steps.

"Yes, after the entrance exam is over, I will get a new computer here so that I can play...er, type better. It turns out that the one at home was given to Komachi. She has always wanted one. Taiwan."

Hikigaya Hachiman pointed at the still empty desk and said.He never pursues any personalized decoration for his room.

"I don't mean to criticize, but I think your room is a little bit unlike a writer's room. For example, the walls are too empty."

Yukinoshita Yukino looked at the clean walls and said a little strangely.In her stereotype, writers, especially Japanese writers, should have a somewhat strange personal style.Hikigaya-san looks no different from an ordinary middle school student whether outside or at home.

"Is it empty? Yukinoshita-san, you really think so. Hmm...I'll go back and buy two maps of Japan and a map of the world to put on the wall, which can be regarded as adding some colorful things."

Hikigaya Hachiman said thoughtfully.

Qianxun.[-]

"...It's getting late, Hikigaya-san. I think it's time for me to go back to the house and rest. You should go to bed early too. Good night."

Yukino felt that the conversation could not continue, so she said good night to Hikigaya.He stood up and walked outside the house, the little cotton balls on his clothes still swaying rhythmically.

Looking at the little cotton balls swinging around, Hikigaya Hachiman felt his heart become uneasy.

"Yukishita-san...please wait a moment."

"Is there anything else? Hikigaya-san."

Yukino turned around and looked at Hachiman curiously.

"Can I...take a...picture of you wearing this pajamas? There's no other reason. I just want to go home and show it to Komachi to see if she likes this style."

Hikigaya Hachiman came up with a very poor excuse. In fact, this pajamas were chosen by Komachi himself.

Yukinoshita Yukino was stunned for a moment after hearing Hachiman's request, then slowly stretched out her right hand, making a "yeah" gesture at her side, and then looked at Hikigaya Hachiman with questioning eyes.

"Should I... be like this?"

After finishing taking pictures, Yukino asked Hachiman to send her a photo of herself in her pajamas.Although she really wanted to send this photo to her sister and edit a line of text "Guess who took this for me?", she gave up considering her sister's sleep quality.

"By the way, Yukinoshita-san, the most important thing today is, I wish you a happy birthday."

After Yukino left the room, Hikigaya Hachiman stood at the door and said to her.

②5559⑤Three hundred

"Originally, I ordered a cake for you and would deliver it in the evening. I didn't expect it would snow so heavily. The weather was really unfavorable."

Hikigaya Hachiman felt a little regretful. The cake was very finely made and Hachiman really wanted to taste it.

At this time, the snowfall outside the window has slowly stopped, and the road administration's snow plows are also working at full capacity. By tomorrow morning, the snow on the road will be completely cleared.

"It doesn't matter, today is fulfilling enough. If I can spend my birthday like this every year, I think it will be very lucky, Hachiman-san."

Yukinoshita Yukino turned her back to Hikigaya Hachiman, not wanting him to see the happy smile on her face.

Chapter 85 Hikigaya Hachiman returns to daily life

The next day, Yukinoshita Yukino and Hikigaya Hachiman were about to end their brief cohabitation.When leaving, Yukinoshita Yukino packed the bathrobe and pajamas she wore yesterday, saying that she would take them home and wash them before returning them.

The Yukinoshita family's vehicle arrived at the door of the apartment very early. Yukino asked Hachiman to let the driver give him a ride, but Hachiman put him off because he had a very ominous premonition that the car downstairs should not be used. .

"Where's Hikigaya? Why didn't he come down?"

As soon as Yukino got into the car, she heard a cold voice coming from the front seat.

"Sister, Hikigaya-san has his own things to do. Don't be in a hurry to leave here. Let's go home first."

Yukinoshita Yukino stroked her wrapped pajamas and replied calmly.

"Don't drive yet. You, Yukino, really opened my eyes. You stayed up all night and spent the night in an apartment with a boy. Is this what you learned in the United States?"

Yukinoshita Harano's voice had a slight ups and downs.

"Mom is not in a hurry. Sister, why are you in a hurry? I came down intact."

There was already a hint of ridicule in Yukino's tone.

"Mom is not anxious because her old man has more fun than you at your age! Just pretend you didn't hear. You are intact, but how can you guarantee that he won't do anything to you? He even takes photos of you in your pajamas. ”

Yukinoshita Harano's explosive remarks in the first half of her sentence startled the driver beside her, so she had to comfort him a little to prevent her from becoming unstable while driving later.

"I thought, sister, you were worried about what I would do to him. Sorry, I judged a gentleman with a villain's heart."

Yukinoshita Yukino clasped her hands together, Chaoyango bowed slightly.

"As long as you know I care about you...you didn't do anything to him, right?"

Yangno suddenly asked.Yukino turned her head and stopped answering.

"Okay, it doesn't matter, but we are not in a hurry to leave. Watanabe, drive the car across the street. We will just watch here to see if our car drives away. Hikigaya-kun immediately went downstairs."

Yangno directed the driver to drive away, parked on another street and observed the exit of the apartment building.At this time, Yukino turned off the phone in her pocket that showed the call was in progress.

In fact, Haruno is not trying to catch Hikigaya Hachiman or do anything else that would be unfavorable to Hikigaya Hachiman. She really just wants to get Hikigaya Hachiman together, that's for sure.Of course, the end result was that after waiting for half an hour, she didn't see the junior student she was thinking about coming downstairs, so she had to believe that what her sister said was true.

----

"Wow, it feels like a lot of things happened during this holiday..."

Hikigaya Hachiman lay back on his familiar bed and murmured to himself.In fact, looking back, his New Year's holiday was just at Yukinoshita's house. To put it more directly, he had all kinds of things happen with the Yukinoshita sisters.

As for his professional writing, there was no progress in more than a week.Of course, there is nothing wrong with the author fishing for a while during the holidays.

In the new year, Hachiman naturally has new plans for his career as a writer.In March, all eight chapters of his "Causes of Disintegration" will be serialized and will be officially published. However, this is just an appetizer. Neither the publisher nor himself have much expectations for the sales of such a collection of short stories. expect.

As for the new serialization after the end of "The Causes of Disintegration", Hikigaya Hachiman needs to consider carefully.

The novels serialized in the "All Readings" magazine must be published and distributed by Wenyi Chunqiu Publishing House no matter what.In order to better support PUA Literary Spring and Autumn, so that they are willing to regard themselves as their ancestors, Hachiman will not serialize particularly outstanding cards in "All Readings".

Hikigaya Hachiman thought of "New Gatherer".

This classic work written by the best-selling author Keigo Higashino in his previous life, although there is a story throughout, it is essentially a unit drama, divided into nine chapters.The descriptions in this book are full of various anecdotes. It is a very humane mystery novel and is very suitable for serialization in magazines.

Of course, this book is also extremely suitable for adaptation into a TV series. Kaga Kyouichiro will slowly become a classic detective image on the TV screen in the future, and he can support a TV series on his own.

The most important work of Hikigaya Hachiman this year is naturally "The Clock Museum Incident", which is tentatively scheduled to be published in July. In fact, Hachiman still plans to let Bungei Shunqiu publish this book, but he is not in a hurry to negotiate a publishing contract.

He would first show some flirtatious behavior with other publishing houses. He would chat or even have meals with representatives of other publishing houses. He would use many methods to make Literary Spring and Autumn feel a sense of crisis. It was not until the last moment that he communicated with the publishing houses. Formally negotiated the publication of "The Clock Museum Incident".

Literary Spring and Autumn Festival will not stop without him Hachiman, but it is naturally impossible for them to watch such a rising best-selling star slip away, so Hikigaya Hachiman will be very confident in doing such a thing.

Moreover, Hikigaya Hachiman now has a mole who is rooted in Bungeishunqiu—Editor Imamura.For Naho Imamura, as long as Mr. Hachiman continues to be serialized in the magazine, she will not be affected in any way, so she can tell Mr. Hachiman some things about the publishing house without any scruples.

"Teacher Hachiman. How about I just resign and become your personal assistant?"

Naho Imamura once said something shocking, and Hikigaya Hachiman felt that the opponent's calculations were too loud.

"It doesn't have to be like this, Editor Imamura. You just need to tell me some information about the publishing house from time to time. That will be of great help to me."

"What's the situation with the publishing house? Something happened recently. Do you still remember Mr. Suzuki who was responsible for helping you with your qualifications for the Naoki Award? I heard that he will also go to the award ceremony this year. Our publishing house I have never sent anyone to participate in previous years, but this year is at least the first time since I joined the company."

Naho Imamura recalled.

"So, this Director Suzuki is responsible for paying attention to my every move. That's good, because I need someone like him who can spread the word to the top management of the publishing house."

Hikigaya Hachiman briefly thought about the information provided by Imamura and came to a conclusion.He was originally thinking about how to let Wenyi Chunqiu know about his flirtation with other publishing houses, but unexpectedly the publishing house took the initiative to send a camera to record the incident.

After making overall plans for the new year, the last semester of Hikigaya Hachiman's junior high school career is about to begin.

Chapter 86 Yukinoshita Harano shows off her juniors

For high school seniors in Japan, they don’t have much time for fun during their New Year’s holiday.Because Japan's college entrance examination, also known as the "University Entrance Examination Center Test", will be held within two days of January 2021th and [-]th this year, just a short time after the holiday. (PS: The current "Common University Entrance Examination" will only officially start in [-])

Of course, in February and March, there are also entrance exams held by each university, which I will not list for now.

The same is naturally true for Yukinoshita Yono, who is also a senior in high school.However, the end of the year is often the busiest time of the year for the Yukinoshita family. Even if Harano's sleep time has been reduced to about six hours a day, she still feels that there are always things unfinished, leading to increasing pressure. big.

Fortunately, he has a cool junior student, Hikigaya Hachiman.She can absorb the "Hachiman energy" from Hikigaya-senpai to make up for her lack of energy.However, during this holiday, this junior was occupied by her dearest sister Yukinoshita Yukino for a long time, causing her inhalation to be seriously insufficient.

On January [-], the last day of winter vacation, Harano finally had the opportunity to ask Hikigaya Hachiman out, but the location was not at a restaurant, amusement park, horse riding club, but at the school she currently attended and the school Hikigaya would attend in the future. , Sobu Gao.

"Senior, this is such an unexpected place. You brought me out on the last day of vacation just to visit Sobu High School?"

Hikigaya Hachiman asked in confusion.On the last day of the vacation, two students went out to visit their school together. It was too much of a performance art.

"Well, of course there is a reason for this. There are actually students at Sobu High School today, and that is the student union. They are already preparing a series of activities after school starts tomorrow."

Yukinoshita Yono explained.

"Student Union... By the way, senior sister, you told me about the change of class before. What happened in the end?"
