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

"The netizen from Kansai upstairs, please accept the miso. You can just scroll through Twitter at home and wait for us to send you photos of the scene."

"I live in Osaka and want to attend this autograph session. It's so funny XD. See if you can reserve a spot."

"So, living in Tokyo is amazing, isn't it?"

"Don't be dissatisfied. The master of Tokyo is the master! I still live in Chiyoda Ward, and I can walk to Sanseido Bookstore in 10 minutes. How can you compare with me?"

Literary Spring and Autumn Publishing House has prepared [-] places for this book signing, [-] in the morning and [-] in the afternoon.Readers can make offline reservations at any branch of Sanseido Bookstore in Tokyo. It is for this reason that it has become a fantasy for readers outside Tokyo to get tickets for this book signing.

This incident caused great dissatisfaction among readers outside Tokyo. It was okay to hold all events in Tokyo, it just took more time to take the Shinkansen.As for this book signing, objectively speaking, readers outside Tokyo were directly deprived of the qualification to participate in the event.

However, the discussion on the Internet quickly turned from a verbal attack on the organizer to a melee between netizens in Tokyo and areas outside Tokyo. Bungeishunqiu Publishing House cleverly completed a conflict transfer.

In order to control the number of attendees, the publishing house deliberately did not choose a weekend, but a working day to hold the book signing.Since it is now the time when schools are on spring break, the crowd attending the autograph session will be mainly students, so it is relatively easy to maintain order and there will not be too many fanatic fans.

"Oh, I seem to be attending a book signing on the 25th, but why is that day a Wednesday! Mr. Hachiman, I'm going to miss you, oooooooooooo."

Countless social workers complained on Twitter that the date of the book signing was too unfriendly. While they were still hesitating whether to ask for leave, students were already pouring into Sanseido Bookstores across Tokyo to grab reservations.

"According to the reservation situation, about 90.00% of the readers who enter the venue that day will be college students and high school students, and they are all locals in Tokyo. This is also the goal we want to achieve. By then, our work will be easier a lot of."

The speaker was Tomino Yoshihiro, director of the Literary Spring Publicity Department. He was explaining the general situation of the book signing to Hachiman Hachiman so that Hachiman could have a preliminary understanding.

"The busiest person on the day will undoubtedly be Mr. Hachiman. In one day, two thousand copies will be signed. Frankly speaking, this must be a kind of torture, and we need to let you understand this. We can also guarantee that within a year There will not be a second event like this.”

Yoshihiro Tomino said.In fact, in order to successfully host this signing event, their publicity department worked countless overtime shifts within half a month to discuss specific plans.Now when he talks, he still has deep dark circles under his eyes.

"The signing time in the morning is from nine to twelve o'clock, and in the afternoon from one to five o'clock. There will be a little more time in the afternoon, after all, your hands may not be very sensitive by then. We will prepare lunch in advance and put it away In the lounge. There is a short break of 10 minutes each in the morning and afternoon, but if you feel unwell, Mr. Hachiman, you must tell us immediately and we will suspend the activity."

Minister Tomino specifically warned.

Qianxun.[-]

"I understand, Minister Tomino, your planning is very detailed. You have worked really hard."

Hikigaya Hachiman sincerely thanked the other party. He finally saw how far Bungeishunqiu Publishing House could go to full throttle for his sake.

"With your recognition, I think the work of our department is worth it. By the way, Mr. Hachiman, if you have any friends you want to bring to the venue that day, please send me their names and photos, and we will check in in advance. Registration is required at the venue, and your friends can come earlier and we will reserve a spot for them in the lounge.”

Tomino Yoshihiro added that Mr. Hachiman’s friends naturally also need special treatment.

"Is there such a good thing? Then I'm welcome."

Hikigaya Hachiman was very happy. He immediately found the photos of Komachi, Harano and Yukino, took screenshots of their faces and sent them to each other. He had many photos of these three people on his phone.

As for the rest, Hachiman also wants to add Kasumigaoka Shiu, Sawamura Eri, and Hayama Hayato.So he started calling these people individually.

"Is it really okay? Teacher Hachiman, thank you very much. I thought I would miss it. Stop making trouble! Sawamura, stop making trouble!"

This is Kasumigaoka Shiu. She was very happy after learning the news, but she seemed to be competing with another person for the right to use the phone.

"Teacher Hachiman, it's me, Eri Sawamura. All I need to do is send the photo?"

Eiriri seemed to have taken away Kasumigaoka's cell phone, and excitedly confirmed it to Hikigaya Hachiman.

"...Yes, you just need to take a photo of your face for me, just like an ID photo. By the way, tell me Kasumigaoka-san."

"Received, received, received, then I'll hang up first, Mr. Hachiman. Ah!——"

It seems that Ying Lili on the other side of the phone has been arrested.

"Okay, Hikigaya-san, I understand. Thank you for giving me this opportunity. I will send the photo right away."

This is Hayama Hayato. As the son of a lawyer family, he has excellent control over his emotions. Even though he was already cheering in his heart, he still maintained a very decent and formal reply on the phone.

As for the sisters Komachi and Yukinoshita, he chose to call Harano first. At this time, he was more willing to trust Harano, after all, she was older.

"Okay, I understand. You need me to take Komachi with me that day, right? Okay, I will tell my mother in advance and ask the driver to be on standby at home that day. Yukino and I will take the family car to pick up Komachi in the morning."

Yangno's voice did not waver at all. Even after she found out that she could not make an appointment for the book signing on the 25th, she was not worried at all.She knew that her junior would definitely find a way for her to get in. As for bringing Komachi with her, it was just a matter of effort.

As for Komachi, he just needs to wait until he gets home today and tell his parents.

"Well, Mr. Hachiman, everything is ready, we just need to wait for the 25th to arrive."

Minister Tomino said this after receiving all the photos.

Chapter 98 Hikigaya Hachiman’s autograph session

Although the autograph session will officially start on March 25, a series of factors such as avoiding any unexpected situations and visiting the venue early in the morning were taken into consideration.Hikigaya Hachiman came to Bungeishunqiu Publishing House on the afternoon of March 24th and would spend the night in the publishing house's staff dormitory.

The next day's book signing officially started at nine o'clock. When Hikigaya Hachiman arrived at the venue with the company's car at seven in the morning, readers waiting for the book signing had already lined up outside the door. It was the end of March, and the weather in the morning It was still cold, and many people in line were shivering from the cold.

"Can't you let them come in and wait?"

Hikigaya Hachiman saw this and asked worriedly.He has repeatedly emphasized on Twitter that there is no need to queue up too early, but he could not resist the enthusiasm of readers.

"No, Teacher Hachiman, the interior of the hall is already very full, and there is no waiting area reserved. We have also sent out notices before so that everyone does not have to come and queue in advance. There is really no way."

The bookstore staff shook their heads and said helplessly.

After entering the venue, you have to walk down a long one-way passage to get to the autograph table.After the signing is completed, readers need to leave the venue as soon as possible.Of course, you can also choose to visit Sanseido Bookstore.

The plan is to release some information about the "Watch Museum Incident" at [-] p.m. after the autograph session ends. The press conference will be broadcast live on Twitter and YouTube at the same time.

As for the event that runs throughout the day, it is the "Mr. Hachiman Fan Forum" at Sanseido Bookstore. This event is only available to members who have spent a certain amount at Sanseido Bookstore, so there are not many participants.

The lounge is located at the back not far from the signing desk. There are many soft-looking sofas in the room. There are also several juicers that can provide fresh drinks at any time. The environment is comfortable. Unfortunately, Hikigaya Hachiman can only enjoy it here today. a very short time.Most of the time, Hachiman's connections are here.

"Okay, I think I understand everything, and I'm looking forward to getting started."

Hikigaya Hachiman was even a little eager to give it a try.

"Teacher Hachiman, there is one last thing."

Minister Tomino reminded.This thing is makeup. After all, you are appearing in public, so makeup is a very necessary thing.Due to Hikigaya Hachiman's long-term, rough approach to facial care, his face is not completely blemish-free, and he has also been criticized by makeup artists.

"Teacher Hachiman, I think your skin is completely natural beauty. Under the devastation of staying up late every day and rough skin care, I think your face has done its best. Please be sure to take it more seriously in the future. Your face is really outstanding."

As a writer rather than an artist, Hikigaya Hachiman's work, rest and diet can hardly be called regular and healthy.Now he is squandering the infinite resilience brought by youth, which is enough to alarm Hachiman.

At eight o'clock in the morning, Hachiman's relatives arrived in the lounge one after another.Among them, Komachi, the Yukinoshita sisters, and Hayama Hayato came together, and Kasumigaoka and Eiriri came together.

"Signing two thousand books... It's really unimaginable. I only signed six hundred books and I was completely exhausted."

Kasumigaoka Shiu, as the only person at the scene who had experience in autograph signings, had a very intuitive understanding of this number.

"Don't compare your meager strength to Mr. Hachiman. You are not a player on the track at all."

Eiri continues the tradition of fighting Kasumigaoka wherever she goes.Since he had attended a banquet in Chiba Prefecture, he knew everyone present, so he was more relaxed.

Kasumigaoka Shiyu originally wanted to use the word "barren" to return it to the other party. However, after observing, she found that among the people present, there was more than one barren existence among the people present. In order to take care of that person's feelings, she swallowed her retort. go back.

"It's going to be really hard for you today, Hikigaya-kun. But I believe you can do it."

Yukinoshita Harano encouraged her gently, even changing her title to "Hikigaya-kun".Then, in front of everyone, she adjusted the waist and collar of Hikigaya Hachiman's kimono, her eyes filled with gentle warmth.

Today, Hikigaya Hachiman is wearing his most representative kimono. This is also the look he wants to show to readers.

"Hikigaya-san, you probably won't have much rest time at noon today. I've prepared a lunch for you."

Yukinoshita Yukino took out a delicate but not small thermal box, which was filled with all kinds of food that she carefully prepared when she got up this morning.

"Thank you, Yukinoshita-san, you are so considerate."

Hikigaya Hachiman said very happily, with this, who needs a working meal?

"You're welcome. I'll have to prepare lunch boxes for you from now on. Just treat it as practice."

Yukino said calmly, as if he was talking about something that was not important at all.At this time, the other four people in the room were already looking at each other. They all felt that they were a bit redundant today.

"Well, everyone, let's have fun here first. I'm going to go out to work. If possible, try not to leave this lounge. See you at noon."

With 5 minutes left at 08:30, Hikigaya Hachiman said goodbye to everyone in the lounge. Accompanied by the staff, he returned to the autograph table and sat down.The security personnel outside the door began to guide the team into the hall.

Literary Spring and Autumn was very concerned about the order of this autograph session. They hired about [-] security personnel inside and outside in order to nip any possible disturbances in the bud.

At this moment, across the country, many readers who were unable to get to the venue to see Mr. Hachiman’s face were frantically refreshing their Twitter timelines, hoping to see people at the scene posting photos, but they have yet to wait.

"Damn, the network is so bad...forget it, let's talk about it after we go out."

Because there were so many people inside and outside the venue, everyone’s mobile phones were basically disconnected.Even if someone has taken the photo, they cannot send it immediately.

It wasn't until ten minutes after the autograph session started that photos were finally posted to Twitter.

"Ah! It's the kimono boy! I'm dead."

The Osaka fan expressed his thoughts succinctly.

"Teacher Hachiman really looks like a handsome young man. This fits our imagination perfectly."

More and more photos are being posted on Twitter, from various angles, and there's even a frontal shot of Hachiman smiling at the camera.

"Wow, how can such a perfect person exist? Moreover, he is only 16 years old, good-looking and can write books. God is so unfair!"

"#八嬡Sensei Yanzhi#八嬡Sensei God rewards those who work hard"

All in all, Mr. Hachiman’s public appearance did not disappoint.It will only make those who don't have the opportunity to be there even more jealous and twisted.

"Damn it, it's all the people in Tokyo's fault! I couldn't see Mr. Hachiman."

Chapter 99 Hikigaya Hachiman’s autograph session

The book signing in the morning was going on in an orderly manner. At this time, Hikigaya Hachiman had signed more than [-] copies, and there was already some slight soreness in his arm. He thought he could still hold on for a long time.

The readers who participated in the event were indeed mainly students. They were all very orderly and polite. They knew how to restrain their enthusiasm after meeting their idols and did not cause any trouble to Hikigaya Hachiman.

After working non-stop for an hour and a half, Hikigaya Hachiman took the only short break in the first half.

"How about it, Mr. Hachiman, can you still stand it?"

Naho Imamura came to Hikigaya Hachiman and brought him a bottle of energy drink.

"Don't worry, Editor Imamura. Men can't say no."

Hikigaya Hachiman moved his somewhat stiff hands and said firmly.

"Sometimes, I really envy the physical fitness of you young people. You are always energetic and have unlimited possibilities."

Naho Imamura suddenly felt emotional.

"Editor Imamura, did you have any breakthroughs in your recent blind date?"

Hikigaya Hachiman knew that Editor Imamura's house had arranged many blind dates for her this year.

"Blind dates and stuff like that... I don't want to go there anymore. They're all the same men. They're far from you, Mr. Hachiman."

Naho Imamura said without interest.

Hikigaya Hachiman shrugged and stood up, trying to move his body.He looked at the people queuing in the distance and suddenly spotted a familiar figure, Hoshino Akua, whom he had met a few days ago. He was communicating with a girl with the same bright blond hair behind him. Maybe his sister?

Hikigaya Hachiman asked a staff member to invite the two of them in his name. Although Hoshino Aqua looked a little surprised, he immediately followed the staff member with the girl beside him.

"Hello, Hoshino-san, we meet again."

Hikigaya Hachiman greeted the other party with a smile.

"Hello, Hikigaya-san. This is my sister, just call her Hoshino Ruby. I brought her here to relax today."

Hoshino Aqua introduced Hikigaya Hachiman. When looking at his sister, Aqua's eyes were obviously softer.

"Hey, it turns out you are still a girl."

Hikigaya Hachiman complained silently in his mind.

"Hello! Mr. Hachiman. My name is Hoshino Ruby. I will be entering the same high school as my brother this year."

Hoshino Ruby greeted Hikigaya Hachiman energetically. Hikigaya Hachiman thought she had the temperament of an idol. Considering Aqua's identity, this Ruby must also enter the entertainment industry.

"You two, I will go back to work soon. If you are not busy today, you can wait in the lounge for a while, and the staff will take you there. At noon, I have something to talk to Hoshino-san. "

"Of course it's no problem. I'm here today because I want to ask Hikigaya-san about some things, so I'll excuse you now."

Hoshino Aqua agreed, and then he and his sister went to the lounge under the guidance of the staff.

Hoshino Akua came here today to finally confirm the identity of Hikigaya Hachiman. After this doubt was eliminated, he had no worries about being able to win the role of Shuya Watanabe.

Of course, bringing his sister to relax was not a lie. Under his secret manipulation, his sister Ruby successfully lost the idol election of another company and is now quite depressed.
