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

Since Suzuki fought for Hachiman’s admission, in a sense, he personally created opportunities for other publishing houses to communicate face-to-face with Hachiman-sensei. If Hachiman-sensei was really deceived by another publishing house, As a result, Wenyi Chunqiu was unable to obtain the publishing rights of "The Clock Museum Incident", so he was not far away from getting out.

"Listen, Suzuki. You adjust your state immediately and return to the venue. Mr. Hachiman is just greeting them, don't think too much about it. Remember, Mr. Hachiman's contract with us has not ended yet, and you have to be there tonight. Show it to other publishing houses that Mr. Hachiman is still a person of our literary and artistic age!"

The president said sternly on the phone.He did feel a deep sense of crisis.

Chapter 90 "New Gatherer" by Hikigaya Hachiman

"So, Mr. Hachiman, your new serial will be a social novel again?"

During a regular meeting at a Ginza cafe at the end of January, Imamura Naho carefully read the outline of Hikigaya Hachiman and raised this question.

"Yes, socialist novels are suitable for serialization in magazines, especially novels in the form of unit dramas. Each chapter is a complete story, and there is a case throughout."

Hikigu Hachiman said.

"Actually, the purpose of writing this novel is to give everyone a clearer understanding of the criminal police investigation. In the real world, no one can tell a murder case just by analyzing the first scene. Able to accurately grasp the key points. The detection of the case relies on the criminal police to work tirelessly from door to door to investigate and collect evidence. The truth comes out with their legs.

Hikigaya Hachiman added.This is also a major feature of socialist reasoning. There are often no ingenious plans in these novels, nor are there any handsome detectives with open eyes.Some of it is just the hard process of the police going around to collect evidence in order to solve the case, slowly gathering the collected information, and finally finally solving the case.

"This kind of development may not be as shocking as the revelation of the final mystery in the original reasoning. But the emphasis is on the process of investigating the case, on the detailed portrayal of human feelings and the sophistication of the world, and on the reading experience of the entire book. It’s not just the shock of the ending.”

Hikigaya Hachiman finished his final summary.

"I see... there is no one more important, the result or the process, right?"

Machida Enko on the side murmured to herself and stuffed a small cake into her mouth.

"Yes, "New Participant" may be such a novel. I hope to use my narrative to make everyone feel that the ending may not be so important after reading each short story. Sometimes it is not necessary to know the truth. A chill down the spine can also be a feeling of warmth in the heart."

Hikigaya Hachiman said with a smile.

"Teacher Hachiman, if you look at it this way. Detective Kaga in this novel is more like an aunt from the neighborhood committee than a policeman?"

Machida Enko said sharply.

"You have seen it very clearly, Editor Imamura. But I think that the profession of criminal police is just like doctors and teachers. In addition to their own work, they must not forget the very important matter of humanistic care. Children's minds are immature, Patients are often mentally fragile and those involved may be left with psychological trauma."

Hikigaya Hachiman took a sip of coffee.

"So teachers need to provide moral education to children, and doctors need to chat with patients from time to time to keep them positive and optimistic. As for the criminal police, they also need to find ways to comfort the victims during the investigation of the case. Victims are not people who died, but people who were traumatized because someone died."

Hikigaya Hachiman hopes to explain the characteristics of the criminal police profession in more detail through "New Interpreter".

"So, Mr. Hachiman. Is this the novel you said you wanted to use to heal people's hearts?"

Naho Imamura asked.

"Yes, I believe that most people still desire healing and receive more positive content. This is human nature."

Hikigaya Hachiman believes that no one is born to like to read Kurofuzan's works, and no one wants to watch Kurofuzan's works all the time. If you read too much, you will have mental problems.

"But someone is like the author who guided me before, to write about shortcomings and regrets? Now she can't stop writing at all."

Machida Enzi looked at the sunny boy in front of her and teased.

"Editor Machida, please pay attention. Contents such as shortcomings and regrets are very common contents in youth literature, and they are still different from black and deep residuals. What is black and deep residuals? It must be in the last chapter of "Metronome of Love" In the volume, the hero and heroine did not miss each other because of the train, but were directly knocked away by the train, and then they renewed their relationship in heaven. This is so dark and cruel."

Hikigaya Hachiman spoke seriously about his idea of ​​making Machida Enko fly away.

"...Teacher Hachiman, please don't tell Kasumigaoka this kind of idea, even if it's a joke. I doubt she would really write it like this. I don't want to be blacklisted by the publishing house." Here, Hachiman-sensei.”

Machida Enko pleads to Hikigaya Hachiman with her hands clasped together.

"Well, Kasumigaoka-senpai, will she really obey my words like this?"

Hikigaya Hachiman didn't believe it.

"She doesn't just follow what you say, Teacher Hachiman. She likes to brainstorm, especially the ideas you put forward. You may not be able to tell, but Shiyu is actually a child with very out-of-the-box thinking in writing. Without me, I would often give her a hand. Steering wheel, she can fly to the moon. It's obviously a fresh youth story with a bit of regret, but she might have a hatchet ending at the end."

Machida Enoko held her forehead and said that she had indeed spent a lot of energy to keep Kasumi Shiko's novel in line.

"Is this what my senior's creative state is? It's really unexpected."

"If she could be as reassuring as you, Mr. Hachiman, I wouldn't be so tired. I just discovered now that sometimes it's not a good thing for an author to have too many ideas, as it can easily constrain oneself."

Machida Enko came to a conclusion.

"So, Mr. Hachiman, do you think that after the serialization of "The Causes of Disintegration" ends in March, the "New Participants" will be seamlessly connected next month?"

Naho Imamura finished reading the synopsis of Hikigaya Hachiman and began to confirm the serialization.

"Yes, I think there is no need to leave any gaps in the future. My readers should really want to read my novels."

Hikigaya Hachiman said somewhat narcissistically.However, this statement is true. For a writer who has published two novels in one year and has a collection of short stories that is being serialized, a large number of readers on the Internet said that his updates are too slow.

"Readers really want to see your novel. Many letters are sent to the publishing house every day, hoping to see your "The Clock Museum Incident" immediately, otherwise they may not know what they will do."

Naho Imamura said.

"I am still being urged to write two books a year at a rate like this? Why don't you just lock me up in a basement and let me write novels every day?"

Hikigaya Hachiman laughed at himself, feeling helpless towards his dissatisfied fans.

"Uh, let me ask you, if you really do this, you won't be angry, right?"

Naho Imamura looked around, and then asked Hachiman Hachiman in a low voice.

Chapter 91 Hikigaya Hachiman’s Troubles (4k)

"Hey, hey, you are not serious, two editors. This is a crime, a crime."

Hikigaya Hachiman said with a little fear as he saw the eyes of Naho Imamura and Enko Machida gradually turning into beasts.

"Hmph, it depends on your performance, Hikigaya-kun. If you can continue to write excellent works, the probability of us making mistakes will be smaller."

Naho Imamura said mischievously, and Machida Enko on the side nodded frantically in agreement.

"Oh, okay. In order to prevent you two from embarking on the road of crime, I'll work harder."

Hikigaya Hachiman surrendered, and his fanatical fans were by his side.

"Fortunately, Yukinoshita-senpai will never have such thoughts. There are still normal people around me."

Hikigaya Hachiman comforted himself in his heart.

"By the way, Mr. Hachiman. Actually, the publishing house has entrusted me this time to ask you about "The Clock Museum Incident". They seem to be extremely anxious recently. How should I reply to them?"

Naho Imamura mentioned the mission of the publishing house. She felt like a double agent. Both the publishing house and Mr. Hachiman had to get information about the other side from her.

"Well, of course they will be anxious. Especially Minister Suzuki, he should be so anxious that his hair is falling out now."

Hikigaya Hachiman said with a smile.

"Actually, Editor Imamura, you know that. I will definitely hand over "The Clock Museum Incident" to Bungeishunqiu for publication. However, when you go back and tell them, you have to find a way to make the process as smooth as possible. It showed my struggles and gave them the feeling that I might change my mind at any time.”

Hikigaya Hachiman pointed out that when the other party is anxious to a certain extent, if you show kindness on your side, the other party will appreciate you in turn.

In addition, through this method, Wenyi Chunqiu can also prevent Wenyi Chunqiu from adding additional clauses like those in "Confession" in the contract, such as that the next few works will be published by Wenyi Chunqiu.Everything he does after Bungeishunqiu will be based on Hikigaya Hachiman's mood as the first consideration.

"Okay, Mr. Hachiman, I understand. In addition, our president, Mr. Hirao Takahiro, would like to make an appointment to meet with you. But he said, it depends entirely on your wishes."

Naho Imamura said.

"President Hirao? Is my face so great?"

Hikigaya Hachiman asked teasingly.

Hachiman, who believes that all people are created equal, will naturally not feel that the other party is condescending to him. However, it is not in line with the procedures for the president, as the top manager of a company, to meet directly with a writer whom he has never met.After all, Wenyi Chunqiu is a formal company, and all work is handled by specialized people. The president only needs to control the overall situation.

"Editor Imamura, I would like to confirm that this is a purely personal meeting, right?"

"Yes, Mr. Hachiman. What President Hirao means is that outside of working hours, preferably outside of working days, find a place outside the publishing house where you can eat and chat. Taking into account Mr. Hachiman's coming and going, If it’s inconvenient, the president can come to Chiba.”

Naho Imamura replied.

"Okay, I understand. Please tell President Hirao that I am available at any time and look forward to meeting him. I don't need to be in Chiba. I can just go to Tokyo. I will follow President Hirao's arrangements for the rest."

Hikigaya Hachiman said this. He believed that Bungei Shunqiu was really pushed into a hurry this time, so the president would personally ask him to meet.As for the content of the discussion, it must be a promise to Hachiman that no one can guarantee except the president himself.This is very attractive.

"By the way, Editor Imamura. In my "Clock Museum Incident", I need to draw several illustrations, which require relatively high details and involve the design of buildings and their interiors. Could you please help me find out if the publisher can help me. It’s important for the plot that I complete this matter.”

In the works of true reasoning, especially the grand new true reasoning.It is very common to use illustrations to enhance readers' impression of the scene. This is not because the author has limited writing power, but because many huge buildings and secret rooms are difficult to describe accurately with words. Illustrations can also help readers read better. Way.

"Actually, Mr. Hachiman, you can definitely find an artist to do the illustrations for you. As long as the price is not too outrageous, the publisher will reimburse you."

Naho Imamura explained.

"Oh? That's great. This way I can try my best to ensure the quality of the illustrations. It just so happened that I met a painter at the end of the year who was about the same age as me. I checked her information and she was very popular in the industry. He is a famous rising star and his works have been exhibited in art exhibitions.”

Hikigaya Hachiman said happily, remembering the blond lady he had seen at the banquet.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Hachiman, are you talking about... Mr. Eri Kashiwagi?"

Machida Enko suddenly asked.

"What are you talking about, Editor Machida? How can I possibly know painting like that... ugh."

Realizing that he had spilled the beans, Hachiman hurriedly shut up, but Editor Machida's eyes became interesting.

"What? Who is Mr. Eri Kashiwagi? Is he a new artist in Japan?"

Naho Imamura, who didn't understand Two-dimensional, asked curiously.

"Don't worry about Two-dimensional matters!"

Machida Enko said without mercy.

"So, Editor Machida. Why are you suddenly mentioning Eri Kashiwagi? That can be said in public."

Hikigaya Hachiman asked in confusion.

"Speaking of which, this is also a complete surprise, Mr. Hachiman. Please answer me first. Is the painter you are talking about called Eri Sawamura?"

----

At the same time, in the art room of the private Toyosaki Academy.

"Fat dinosaur! I'm warning you! If you tell others about my true identity again, I won't mind changing with you!"

Eiri, whose hair was completely fried, roared at Kasumigaoka Shiyu in front of her.As a prospective freshman at Toyosaki Academy, would she come to the school's art room to paint?It was precisely for this reason that her true identity was exposed in front of Kasumigaoka Shiyu.

"Yelling like you will attract other people's attention more easily, Sawamura-san. Then the whole thing will be revealed, and maybe you will be suspected of breaking the law, underage Kashiwagi-sensei?"

Kasumigaoka Shiyu looked at her phone calmly and said nonchalantly.

"Humph, Fat Dinosaur, you're wrong. The law only stipulates that minors are not allowed to purchase pornographic doujinshi, but it never says that minors are not allowed to create pornographic works. I am still very confident about this."

Yinglili suddenly became proud.

"...Okay, I'm too lazy to argue with you. But I want to tell you that you were able to be discovered by me so easily before, and you may be discovered by others in the future. You'd better be more careful, Sawamura. classmate."

Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu said earnestly.

"Hmph! As long as you can keep this secret well, there will be no risk of it being leaked. But considering that you told Editor Machida about it, how can I trust you?"

Yinglili pouted and said gloomily.

"Don't worry. Don't mention how strict editor Machida is. They are in the magazine editor profession, and strict speaking is the basic working ability."

Kasumigaoka Shiyu said with certainty.

"Of course I believe Editor Machida, but I don't believe you, a fat woman. Especially since you also know Mr. Hachiman, maybe when you are chatting with him one day, in order to please him, you will talk about this matter to Mr. Hachiman. Did you hear that?"

What Eiri is most afraid of is that Kasumigaoka will tell Mr. Hachiman her identity.

"Sawamura-kun, even a good-tempered person like me can't stand you insulting me like this anymore."

Kasumigaoka Shiyu narrowed her eyes and walked towards Eirili with a smile.

"First of all, I am not a fat woman or a fat dinosaur. I do make you feel deeply jealous in some aspects, but my body measurements are absolutely healthy and in perfect shape by any standard. "

Kasumigaoka walked in front of Eiri and bent slightly to look at Eiri who was sitting. The huge softness on her chest exerted a strong sense of oppression on Eiri.

"Secondly, all the exchanges between Mr. Hachiman and me are purely literary discussions. I have never taken the initiative to disturb him even once. He is my guide in literature. Please don't use such secular ideas. To tarnish my relationship with Hachiman-sensei.”

Kasumigaoka Shiha's admiration for Teacher Hachiman is without any impurity.Besides, she has also seen the close relationship between Mr. Hachiman and the aloof temperament Yukinoshita-senpai.Even though Shiyu believed that she was an outstanding person among her peers in every aspect, however, when she sat opposite Yukinoshita-senpai, she felt that her advantages had disappeared.

"Well, yes, I'm sorry, Kasumigaoka...senpai. I didn't mean to do it, please don't take it to heart. In fact, I also treat Mr. Hachiman the same way."

Feeling that she had made a mistake, Erili quickly fainted and apologized sincerely to Kasumigaoka. Then she felt a touch on her head.

"Yuck! Don't touch my head! Fat woman."
