I am a writer in Tokyo

Chapter 50
Perhaps it is precisely because of nothingness that I want to grasp more.

#Looking for Snow Country#
This topic suddenly overshadowed the beauty of nothingness that should have been extolled and popular.

Such a topic suddenly became a career.

As the influence of "Snow Country" grew, this matter began to ferment step by step.

It's like a large number of people once invested huge financial and material resources in order to find the Peach Blossom Spring.

Some people in Neon have also started to do this.

It was just a few people at first.

gradually developed into a group.

The group looking for Snow Country found Xinyuan and contacted Kazuya Oshima, the editor in charge of the book Snow Country.

Seeing a decent organization appearing out of nowhere, Kazuya Oshima was a little confused.

What's happening here?
"Maybe it's because it's futile, so we hope to find it." The person in charge of the organization looked longingly: "Anyway, it's all futile, and we should not find it."

"If you find it..." He paused, "That would be an unexpected gain."

"But the author didn't say where the prototype of Snow Country is." Kazuya Oshima shook his head: "Maybe this place is just a fantasy."

"No, there must be."

"..."

Seeing the backs of this group of people leaving without finding the answer they wanted in Xinchao, an editor came up and said, "Why are they so obsessed with finding this place?"

"It's nothing more than another escape."

Oshima Kazuya also sighed: "Find that place, then hide in it, and never come out again."

"Is it useful? In the end, we still have to face..."

"Then rot to death in that place. If you can escape, then escape for the rest of your life."

Oshima Kazuya always felt that the place of Snow Country was a fiction, but during the conversation, seeing their very serious expressions, he also began to gradually have a doubt.

Is it... Snow Country really exists?

Does Neon have a place for this?

The search for Snow Country intensified, and then began to become a frenzy in this society.

It seems that all angry people long for a place where they can empty out all their negative emotions.

They are eager to complete the transformation in "Snow Country".

Those who blatantly deny the existence of Snow Country seem to be the enemy of the whole society.

For a time, Kazuo Oshima also became the target of public criticism.

The editor in charge of Snow Country actually doesn't recognize the existence of Snow Country.

What about the author of Snow Country?

The author must know!
……

"Recently, Oshima-sensei seems to have encountered something unhappy."

The first generation saw Oshima Kazuya drinking alone from a distance.

"Maybe Oshima-sensei is carrying the load alone." Kitajima Kou suddenly felt a little sympathetic to Oshima Kazuya.

"Does the horse think that there is really a Snow Country in this world?"

"some."

The first generation suddenly turned his head to look at Kitajima Koma.

At such a close distance, Ito can feel the breath of the first generation of Ito.

"But Mr. Oshima said there is no Snow Country."

"Mr. Oshima doesn't understand Snow Country."

Looking at Bei Dao Kou's serious appearance, the first generation didn't know who to believe.

Maybe Kitajima was trying to comfort himself on purpose.

The first generation originally wanted to ask why they were so sure.

The door of the tavern was knocked open at once.

The door slammed against the wall with great force, making a loud bang.

All the startled people stared angrily, just about to curse.

Then I saw that the person who hit the door was an acquaintance in the store who had disappeared for several days.

It was a reporter.

After rushing into the store, after drinking a few sips of hot water, he gasped and said, "I found the Snow Country."

"what?!"

It was a noisy shop at first, but needles could be heard all of a sudden.

Oshima Kazuya's hands trembled suddenly, then he quickly raised his head, and looked at Bei Daoju immediately.

After seeing Bei Daoju's expressionless face, he turned to look at the reporter suspiciously.

"Is this a lie?"

"So many people didn't find Xue Country, but he did?"

"But, he is a reporter."

Seeing everyone whispering, the reporter popped up a place name: Niigata County.

"Niigata Prefecture?"

"Yes, Snow Country is Niigata Prefecture."

"I just got back from there."

"It is surrounded by mountains and covered with heavy snow, which isolates everything. It is a Taoyuan Township."

The reporter's face was flushed, and he looked like he was drunk.

The yearning in the eyes firmly involved every alcoholic and diner present.

Maybe it's the poor longing for the realm of nothingness, or maybe it's because of the suffering of reality that has reached the verge of collapse.

After a brief moment of stupefaction, the drunkards stumbled out of the bar without saying anything.

Went to the fictional Niigata County.

a few days later.

they are back
They came back with a message.

"In Niigata Prefecture."

Snow Country was originally in Niigata Prefecture.

For a moment, "Looking for Snow Country", which had not been silent before, was once again lifted high like a strong wind blowing through a tree branch.

All eyes were on that place.

on the other side of the country.

You just need to go through the heavy mountains and the heavy snow.

Wait until the night lights come on.

Snow Country will appear.

run away.

Give up everything you can.

Give up everything you can.

If life is a burden, then let it pass away incomparably gorgeous.

In Snow Country, you can be free.

Let's go to Snow Country.

Those readers thought so.

to escape.

Go enjoy a moment of peace.

This group of people took "Snow Country" and went to Snow Country one after another.

It's like migratory birds migrating for warmth.

They are there to save their lives.

This group of "migratory birds" fluttered their wings and went to the snowy land with all the sadness.

Maybe they didn't know if it was Snow Country or not.

But they know that they, who are so insensitive to pain, need a sustenance.

Just a very simple sustenance.

If that place is not Snow Country.

Then consider it Snow Country.

Seeing countless people rushing towards Niigata County like a wave.

Those who were locked up and unable to get out chose to come to the shrine where the snow had not been cleared.

They stood devoutly outside the shrine with their hands clasped together.

Daxue can suppress the pain.

There was a gust of wind.

The singing of the gods floated from afar.

The place where the heart can rest is the Snow Country.

a time.

It seems that the economy that had been stagnant suddenly moved a bit like a flash of light.

A very absurd idea popped out of the minds of some economists.

The crappy problem they're trying to solve.

Was it just solved by a book...?
