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

"I think it's very necessary, Hikigaya-kun."

Yukino didn't say much. She just followed Hachiman closely, using her powerful aura of the Snow Queen to repel everyone who wanted to get close to Hachiman.

"By the way Yukinoshita, Sawamura-san is going to hold a book signing event for "Jukkaukan Incident" this Saturday. How about we go there together?"

"Well, okay, let's call Yuigahama-san by the way. Doesn't she also like reading this manga?"

"I think it's okay. I didn't expect you would take the initiative to call a third person, Yukinoshita."

Hikigaya Hachiman looked at Yukino who was tightly occupying him beside him, with a hint of surprise in his tone.

"Hikigaya-kun, please don't describe me as possessive. This is pure slander."

Yukino pressed closer to her.

October [-]th, Saturday.

Eri Sawamura, whose pen name is Eri Kashiwagi, will hold her first book signing in her career as a manga artist today.Although she very much hoped that this would be the only one, it was definitely impossible.

In Japan, as a cartoonist, especially a popular cartoonist, it is extremely difficult to completely conceal one's personal information.

Rather than waiting to be opened by ardent fans, it is better to take the initiative to stand in front of the stage. As long as everyone's curiosity is satisfied and the update frequency is maintained, not many people will care about the author's private life.

"...Sawamura-san, your outfit is really unique..."

Hikigaya Hachiman sighed.At this time, Yinglili was wearing a giant green frog hood and looked very smart.

"Hey, hehe, after all, this is the first time to hold such an event. My psychology still needs a process of slowly adapting."

Yinglili's somewhat shy voice came out of the helmet, and the scene was very funny.

"I dare say that the way you look now may arouse more discussion among netizens than if you reveal your true colors."

Xia Zhiqiu Shi Yurui commented.

"Never mind that! All in all, today's Eri Kashiwagi is just a frog!"

Yinglili said stubbornly.

Next, Eiriri and Yuigahama Yui got to know each other again. After learning that the other party liked the character of Van Dyne, Eiriri drew a picture on the spot wearing a frog hood and gave it to Yuigahama, and also signed her own name.

"Wow wow wow - thank you so much Mr. Kashiwagi!! It's decided! I will be your fan from now on, and I will definitely read all the other comics you drew when I get home!"

Yuigahama Yui hugged Eiriri's hood happily, wondering what the expression of the person inside the hood was at this time.

While several girls were chatting happily, Teruo Miyahara, the editor-in-chief of "Weekly Young Magazine" came over.

"Hello Hachiman-sensei, can you please take a moment to speak?"

Hikigaya Hachiman has already let out the news before that he will continue to create manga scripts after the completion of "Jukkaukan Incident". Editor-in-chief Miyahara came here just for this matter.

"Of course, I also want to talk to Editor-in-Chief Miyahara."

Hachiman waved to the girls and left the venue temporarily.

"Teacher Hachiman, since you have expressed your position before, I will ask straight to the point. Will you continue to create comic scripts in the future?"

Editor-in-chief Miyahara confirmed.

"That's right, I actually have a lot of good ideas that are very suitable for cartoonization."

Hikigaya Hachiman nodded slightly.

"I have to say, Mr. Hachiman, your creative energy is really strong. You must be creating several works at the same time."

Editor-in-chief Miyahara said with admiration.

In his understanding, Hachiman is currently working on a total of four works including "New Participants" in the "All Readings" magazine, new identity reasoning, "Jukkaukan Incident" manga, and "Furuhata Rensaburo" script, and these The quality of the four works is still stable online. Is this the creative intensity that humans can have?

"Haha, this is just a trivial matter, it's nothing to me."

Hachiman waved his hand and said there was nothing to worry about.

In fact, Hachiman is only working on the work "The First Innocent Thing" at this time. The rest of the works have been completed and submitted, but the outside world does not know it.

"Since Mr. Hachiman is so confident, I think there is no need for me to worry. Although it is a bit early to ask at this time, do you have any ideas for the next work? Will it be a new series of works?"

With the popularity of the two works "The Clock Museum" and "The Ten Gakuen Pavilion", the concept of "pavilion" has gradually begun to be imitated and borrowed by more and more authors. Now a large number of fan authors have begun to design their own on the Internet. A brand new "pavilion" to carry out second creation.

"Pavilion series? I'm sorry, I have no intention to continue creating for the time being. Maybe I will pick it up again in the future, but there will be no new works in a short time."

Hikigaya Hachiman said clearly.

Except for "The Clock Museum Incident", almost every book in this series of museums written by Ayatsuji Yukito in his previous life has a narrative trick. Otherwise, there are bad works such as "The Fright Museum" and "The Doll Museum" that have a bad reputation. It is not suitable for manga adaptation. The manga adaptation of "Jukkakukan" is based on the successful experience of the previous life.

"However, the work I plan next will also be a series, and it can be serialized for a long time."

"Oh? Is it a long-term serialization? I would like to hear the details."

"Before that, I would like to ask Editor-in-Chief Miyahara something. Do you know the concept of 'setting-based reasoning'?"

Hikigaya Hachiman has no need to hide anything from the other party. In the field of youth manga serialization, the other party is the best choice, and he will not change the serialization location.

"The setting system... I've heard about it a little bit. Is it the kind of novel that has a surreal setting as the basis and then makes reasoning based on it?"

Miyahara Teruo replied thoughtfully.

"Absolutely correct! Editor Miyahara, your accumulation is indeed very extensive. This is indeed the definition of setting reasoning in a broad sense, and these novels are basically logical flow reasoning. The works I plan to serialize will also be a setting series. A series of mystery works, I think such works often have a strong visual impact when presented in the form of pictures, which is why I hope to serialize them in comic magazines."

"In addition, this series has an element that is very attractive to Two-dimensional readers, and that is the beautiful girl detective."

Hikigaya Hachiman described.

"Beautiful girl detective? This is indeed a very classic type of character. So, does this entire series have this beautiful girl as the protagonist?"

As a veteran comic practitioner, how could Editor Miyahara not feel the huge potential of this series.The fantasy and surreal background, the beautiful girl detective, and the logical reasoning story, when these elements are added together, it is really difficult to think about it or not.

"Yes, this beautiful girl detective will run through the entire story. She is the absolute core, but there is not much other information that can be revealed. After all, the creation has not started yet, and there is no point in saying too much."

"It doesn't matter, Mr. Hachiman, the information you just mentioned is enough! In fact, I have to admit one thing. Now our magazine has gained such popularity only because of your "Jukkaukan Incident" High circulation. If your new work cannot be serialized in our magazine after this work is completed, the circulation of "Weekly Young Magazine" will be cut in half immediately. I am ashamed to say that if this happens, I have nothing to do. "

Editor-in-chief Miyahara kept his posture very low, which seemed to be playing the emotional card.In fact, what he said was true. Without Hikigaya Hachiman, the sales of this magazine would have been immediately reduced to its original form.

"Weekly Young Magazine" has held many meetings and discussions within the magazine before, and the final conclusion was that they need to poach at least three main writers from other magazines to fill the post of Hachiman after the completion of "Jukkaukan Incident" This void where the teacher is not around.

Because of this, when they learned that Mr. Hachiman would continue serializing comics, the entire magazine fell into a temporary state of madness. They finally no longer had to worry about what would happen in half a year.

After the book signing, Hachiman finally declined Editor Miyahara's offer to invite him to dinner, and then left the venue with Yukino, Yui, Shiu and Eri.

Seeing Hikigaya Hachiman drifting away surrounded by four girls, Editor-in-Chief Miyahara could not help but sigh again at the vigorous energy of this talented writer.

In fact, the women around Hachiman, except for the Yukinoshita sisters, all know very well that they are destined to only be friends with Hachiman.

Moreover, two people, such as Kasumigaoka Shiu and Sawamura Eri, have secretly become the Haruno Party and the Yukino Party respectively.The reason why Eirili supports Yukino is very clear, because the two of them are very similar in body shape. As for Shiyu, she just goes against Eirili.

All in all, the other three girls at this time were slightly distanced from Hachiman, and then silently ate the candies handed out by Yukino and Hachiman.

On Saturday night, Hikigaya Hachiman began to think about future manga serialization plans while taking a bath.

In recent years, more and more cutting-edge mystery novelists have begun to emerge, followed by the emergence of many mystery works that tend to be light novel-like in writing and two-dimensional in character.Of course, as long as your reasoning part is good enough, those parts that are not "literary" enough will be ignored.

In Hikigaya Hachiman's previous life, when it comes to "setting-based reasoning", perhaps everyone will first think of Shirai Tomoyuki.Hikigaya Hachiman chose another famous new writer: Masahiro Imamura.

Speaking of Masahiro Imamura, some people who don’t pay much attention to the author’s information may not be familiar with it, but when it comes to “The Mystery of Corpse Manso” and the beautiful girl detective Kenzaki Hiruko, I believe most mystery fans are familiar with it.

Although many people have criticized the reasoning part of this work, it is undeniable that Masahiro Imamura has swept all major heavyweight lists and awards with "The Mystery of Corpse Manso", and has become a pivotal figure in the Japanese publishing industry. Upstart.

After that, he created two sequels in one go: "The Mystery of the Magic Eye Box" and "The Mystery of the Murderous Mansion".Although these two works are slightly less talented than "The Manor", their writing is more mature and their reasoning is more rigorous, and their reputations have always been high.

Hikigaya Hachiman believes that you can question Imamura Masahiro’s works as being very nonsense, and you can also question his reasoning that is not rigorous enough, but one thing that no one can deny is that every work in this series is by no means boring.

Blizzard Villa mode, secret room murder, multiple reversals, survival games... these elements are all in his book, and finally he has a beautiful girl detective as the protagonist, at least in terms of appearance, "Kensaki Hiruko" The trilogy series is extremely good and gorgeous.

Moreover, Hikigaya Hachiman has decided to present these works in the form of comics. This will make it easier to infinitely enlarge the outstanding parts of the original works and try to cover up the unreasonable plots.

All in all, as a comic script, this trilogy is perfect and may become even more popular than "The Jukkaukan Incident".As for the beautiful detective Hiruko Kenzaki, she will definitely become a very popular manga character.

Hikigaya Hachiman has never been an imitator of trends, he himself is the trend itself.He believes that if the Kenzaki Hiruko series is a big success, then Japanese mystery literature in the world will rush towards the beautiful girl detective.

Now, for Hikigaya Hachiman, the only thing he needs to worry about is whether Sawamura-san will continue to cooperate with him after finishing "Jukkakukan".After all, she might be like Kasumigaoka Shiu, who wants to seriously conceive a work on her own instead of waiting for Hikigaya Hachiman to feed her a ready-made plot.

"When it's almost over, let's find an opportunity to ask her for her opinion..."

Hikigaya Hachiman thought so.

It's just that Hachiman is not in a hurry to consider these issues for the time being. They are still too far away for him.Now he just wants to concentrate on the creation of "The First Innocent Thing". It would be best if he can hand over the first draft to Wenyi Chunqiu Publishing House around March next year. After all, this book is very long, and later tasks such as proofreading Such things will consume a lot of time, and he still needs to hurry up.

Just when Hikigaya Hachiman was about to get out of the bathtub, there was a knock on the door outside the bathroom.

"Hachiman? You're in there, I'm coming in."

Chapter 173 The troubles of happiness

(Oops, I just realized that I missed a chapter, but it’s not a big problem because there is no connection between the plots of the two chapters. I just need to make it up)

For Sobu High School students, October is a very divisive month.

After the opening ceremony in the second half of the month, the sophomore students will leave school to participate in the only study trip in their high school career.

One week after they return from their trip, Sobu High School will hold the annual sports festival. All high school and junior high schools will participate. This will be the most grand event of Sobu High School in the year.

After these two activities filled with laughter and joy, half of October has passed.Before the students have time to calm down, they will be given a slap in the face by their class teacher: at the end of this month, the second academic ability test of the school year will be held.

That's right, when everyone's mood has been somewhat relaxed by various activities, the academic ability test is quietly approaching.Therefore, the Sobu High School campus in early October and late October will be two completely different scenes, which is also the source of the sense of fragmentation.

"The second academic ability test will be conducted at the end of this month. I also released the news that the service department is going to open a class. Why hasn't anyone signed up yet? Everyone's enthusiasm was obviously very high last semester."

Yukino sat in the classroom of the service department and muttered to herself in confusion.

"After all, it's only been a little over a month since school started. Many students haven't realized this yet. Moreover, there is a sports festival this month. Everyone may want to wait until then to study seriously."

Yuigahama Yui consoled her, saying that was actually what she thought.

"Don't worry, after the sports festival, the people who signed up will definitely crowd the roof of this classroom. Although it may be a little late at that time, their admiration for you, Yukinoshita-san, will definitely be It’s next level.”

Hikigaya Hachiman said while typing words.

Although there is a saying that teaching a man to fish is worse than teaching him to fish, but if you want these students to be truly grateful to the Ministry of Service, or to Yukinoshita Yukino, you still have to give them a hand when they are about to starve to death. Easier to see results.

"By the way, the seniors in the second year of high school have already gone on a school trip, right? They don't have to go to class and play for a whole week. I'm so envious..."

Yuigahama Yui said with some longing.

Although the regulations of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology have many high-sounding explanations for the subject of study tours.In fact, everyone knows that this is just going out and spending public money.

"There's nothing to envy. Anyway, we will have it next year, we just don't know where it will go."

Yukino said calmly.For someone like her who has even stayed in the United States for several years, places like Japan really don't interest her very much.

"Most likely it's Kyoto. I heard that they have been going there for several years. It's really boring to think about it. The three-year study trip only goes from Kanto to Kansai, even to Hokkaido. . There are obviously only boring places like temples and shrines in Kyoto, so I probably wouldn’t know what to do if I went there.”

Hikigaya Hachiman complained that from the bottom of his heart, he thought Sobu High was a boring school.

"You don't consider the historical significance or cultural value at all... You are obviously still a writer, Hikigaya-kun, shouldn't you pay more attention to these things?"

Yukino asked with a sigh and some confusion.

"I looked up information on those things, and reading "The Temple of the Golden Pavilion" is enough. If I really want to say it, maybe Kyoto in the golden autumn is indeed beautiful, but I think Chiba is not bad either."

Hikigaya Hachiman said in an indifferent tone.Compared with things like cultural heritage and historical depth, it would be better to just let him go to Okinawa and enjoy the sea breeze.

"And in the final analysis, the so-called school trip is just a large-scale team-building activity wrapped in a bright shell. In the end, it actually takes up your time. You can't decide where you can go. You can only follow the school's arrangements and follow the group. When you arrive, We just gather in one place to take photos so that the student union can send out articles for publicity later.”

"Qianxun" two five five.[-]

"And don't forget, before the start of this school trip, you need to team up with two other people. In this case, the entire trip will be a threesome. No matter what you do, you must consider the feelings of your companions, which will cause you to have various problems. All kinds of unnecessary worries make it impossible to have fun on your own.”

Hachiman gradually began to be unable to restrain his desire to make critical comments, so he simply stopped typing and began to talk endlessly.

"Ugh... In your eyes, Xiaoqi, do school trips seem to be such a boring and torturous existence..."

Yuigahama Yui looked at Hikigaya Hachiman with a somewhat complicated expression.A dater like her who always wants to go with friends wherever she goes will naturally not have such thoughts, and naturally she cannot understand Hikigaya Hachiman's statement.

"For him, the happiest thing is to sit in the room and type words for a day. Yuigahama-san, please don't be led astray by his nonsense."

Yukino also commented sharply.

"Hey Yukinoshita-san, isn't it a bit rude of you to say this?"

"Hmm? Which sentence hurt you? Tell me, and I'll repeat it again."
