I am a writer in Tokyo

Chapter 106 Entering the Selection Stage

Ju suddenly felt that the atmosphere at the scene had become a little delicate.

But for a while I couldn't tell what went wrong.

After the first generation finished greeting, Xiuzi came out from the side, and asked with surprise, did they know each other?

Oshima Kazuya has always been a character who does not take too much trouble when watching the excitement.

Quickly began to introduce each other's identities.

This is the daughter of the Ito family, studying at the Faculty of Letters, University of Tokyo, under the tutelage of Professor Ueno.

and then……

Kazuya Oshima put the emphasis on helping out at the tavern with Koma during the previous vacation.

The relationship between them is still very good.

Oshima Kazu also gave affirmation in a timely manner.

Then this is the new poet, Hideko Matsubayashi.

It's also a coincidence, I heard that I met him at the bookstore in front of the station.

She had just come from Izu at the time, and with Koma's encouragement, she tried to contribute.

In this way, I settled down in Tokyo, where life is not easy.

So, they often play together after you leave.

Oshima Kazuya added another sentence in time.

It seems that Mr. Oshima's ability to grasp key points is great.

At least after Mr. Oshima's introduction, the relationship between the first generation and Hideko instantly became warm.

The two looked at each other with smiles on their faces, and after shaking hands, it was regarded as acquaintance.

But the first generation seemed to realize something.

"station?"

"Is it the day I go to school?" she asked.

"I think it should be."

Oshima Kazu also looked very excited, he quickly replied.

He stood aside, and he didn't know how to move his hands. Anyway, he put them in his pockets for a while, and rubbed each other for a while.

Finally the foal coughed.

The eyes of the three people all shifted to look at him.

Under the focused eyes like a searchlight, Koma's body became stiffer than ever before.

He felt his joints creak when he spoke.

"So are there many people coming to sign up now?"

This technique of changing the subject seems very general.

And especially blunt.

However, He can also feel that Ju's life will not be much easier in the future.

So naturally there is no rush for this moment.

He also took advantage of the opportunity to change the topic, and pointed to the promotional slogan of the literary award this time.

"The appearance of words is to prove to all human beings that thoughts can be passed on."

"So we're willing to be carriers of great ideas."

"- Trendy"

There are no pictures next to this slogan.

Editor-in-Chief Kashiwagi believes that the power of words is infinite.

They can directly create the most supreme scene in this world.

This vision includes everything.

And he has said before that he thinks the greatest thing is not sensation but enlightenment.

So what we are doing now is enlightenment.

Oshima Kazuya pointed at the works piled up into a hill, with a very happy expression on his face.

"This is just the first session."

"Hasn't he a reasonable name?"

"It's not time yet."

Oshima Kazuya gave Koma a meaningful look.

"We're all waiting for an opportunity, for a name that matches."

"So let's call it a literary award now, it's very simple."

"It's pretty straightforward too, isn't it?"

……

In a way, the foal did serve as a shot in the arm.

He stabbed fiercely at this decadent neon body.

The snowflake-like manuscripts quickly filled several rooms.

One is that they are all running for the high bonus.

Another thing is that they try to create Taoyuan Townships that can make everyone intoxicated by their own writing.

Yes, compared with the following two books, the influence of Snow Country is really too deep.

They will never forget the isolated Snow Country.

in the eyes of all.

Compared with the latter, Kazuki in the small yard sitting between the dim light and shadow.

They prefer to portray him in another image.

He sat under the eaves in thick clothes.

The sky was covered with heavy snow, and he raised his head slightly.

His deep eyes passed through the extremely thick snowflakes, and looked at them who lived in reality.

That kind of gaze is like overflowing with pity and then spread out round and round.

Everyone cannot escape this kind of influence.

……

Dying neon struggles with itself.

Even if they are longing for escape.

Except for Kazuki Xiaoyuan's article on oranges, most of the other articles are in the extremely eager and unswerving pursuit of beauty that is free from everything.

Even Matsubayashi Hideko's hard-earned inspiration is no exception.

Some people eulogize the snowy night, while others mourn the spring.

Some people entrust all their lives to the white clouds floating in the blue sky.

Of course, among them, there was one person who actually praised a fish.

The text is very realistic, and he honestly described the appearance of this dish.

At the same time, it also described the taste of this fish in detail.

The writing was so strong that all the judges present silently swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva.

I thought that maybe when I was resting tonight, I would also order a dish of miso mackerel.

But such a... gourmet article?

It looks out of place in this place.

Regardless of the fish, let’s not talk about other beautiful articles.

The high-abandoned orange in the dimly lit and noisy station attracted the attention of all the judges.

"What do you think?"

As one of the judges, Professor Ueno picked out this article and distributed it to all the judges.

"This article seems to be different from the others."

"So, on the road where everyone is constantly pursuing beauty, some people's eyes sink to the bottom."

"But, don't you think this is also beautiful?"

Someone raised a hand.

"Is that the orange girl?"

"Isn't the orange girl beautiful?"

"Aren't oranges beautiful?"

Ueno overheard their discussion.

Indeed, the picture created in the whole article is not beautiful.

But this man's tone of voice is strange.

A scene that is obviously very messy can actually describe another kind of beauty.

At this time, he suddenly thought of a book written by Kazuki Xiaoyuan.

Mr. Kinda.

No, it should be called a tramp.

His sight has been sinking ever since Okawa Masato started.

Could it be this article?

Will it be his?

But Professor Ueno is not sure.

After all, everyone knows that many writers participated in this competition.

Leaving aside this tangerine, there are also several articles that are well written.

Compared with the previous so-called standing on the sidelines, powerless to criticize the world, there has been a great improvement.

It can be regarded as using the desire to win or lose to stimulate the lying neon literary world.

"I propose that this article can be included in the selection series, and then enter the next stage."

Professor Ueno's proposal was unanimously approved.
