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

"All in all, Teacher Kasumi Shiko has a literary problem, and she doesn't know how to expand the content. The male and female protagonists in the book were quite happy in the first volume, but it's too difficult to forcefully create a rift between them. It’s very pretentious and readers don’t want to see it.”

Hikigaya Hachiman concluded.

"I think I understand. I will call Kasumi Shiko right away. Thank you very much, Mr. Hachiman. Have you ever considered writing a light novel? Our whole company will welcome you."

Machida Enzi suddenly became unserious.

"Please forgive my refusal, Editor Machida. I will only write mystery novels my whole life."

Hikigaya Hachiman's attitude is very firm. He has already firmly determined that he will never write any works other than mystery novels.

Chapter 51 Hikigaya Hachiman’s big business of buying a house

Hikigaya Hachiman felt that this year's summer vacation was no different from last year.He stays in the house alone coding, and occasionally comes out to play with Komachi for a while.

The only difference is that he now has 5000 million yen in his account, that's all.

As mentioned before, after Hikigaya Hachiman entered high school, he decided to buy a house near the school, which could greatly reduce commuting time.After Hachiman confessed the matter to his parents, his parents immediately agreed and decided to find time to accompany Hachiman to look at the house.

Yes, Hachiman still needs to be accompanied by his parents if he wants to buy a house. Even though he earned the money to buy a house by himself, he is still not allowed to complete this matter independently.

"Hurry up and make me an adult... It's so troublesome to be like this now."

Hikigaya Hachiman is tired of the restrictions placed on him because of his young age.

The Hikigaya family arrived at the high-end apartment in Mihama District that Hachiman had previously set his sights on.The tour guide who had made an appointment in advance led them to the top floor, which was the eleventh floor. The middle of the apartment building was empty, so the walls of the corridor were relatively high.There are two apartments on each floor, door to door.

"Now in the whole building, only two apartments on the [-]th floor are still vacant. One of them is a new house and is fully decorated. You can just buy furniture. The other is a second-hand house for rent or sale. You can just buy it directly." Check in.”

The guide pointed to the apartments on both sides and told them respectively.

"There is no difference in the internal structure of the two apartments, and the area is also [-] square meters. It is enough for one person to live in. It is also convenient to invite a group of friends to play at home."

The guide knew that this group of people came to see the house for the schooling of the fish-eyed boy, so he introduced some additional contents.

"There is no need to rent, and three years is not a short period of time. If there are changes midway, it will be very troublesome."

Hikigaya Hachiman discussed with his family.He just came here to spend a lot of money to buy his own house, so how could he rent a house.

"It's all up to you, son, this is your money, you can use it yourself. But don't forget to give us some keys."

Hikigaya's mother said with a smile.

"Brother, can I come here to play often in the future?"

Hikigaya Komachi asked excitedly.

"Of course, you can come and play as long as you want. I will set aside a special bedroom for Komachi."

The sister control Hikigaya Hachiman started to exert his strength.

Since the family has no objections, plus 3000 and two million yen, it is not a particularly large amount of money for Hikigaya Hachiman now.Hikigaya Hachiman told the guide directly that he could sign the contract, and that it would be full payment.

The guide did not expect that happiness would come so suddenly, and such a big deal would be completed as soon as he said it was done.He even forgot to bow, so he led a group of people directly to the office and began to prepare for signing the contract.

"It is indeed a high-end residence. The monthly payment for a house here is really a lot."

Mr. Hikigaya read the contract and complained from time to time.After buying this apartment in Hikigaya Hachiman, the various fees I have to pay every month are as high as 15 yen, which is 180 million yen a year. In just 18 years, the money paid is the same as the price of this house. .

This is where many people originally thought that housing prices in Japan did not seem so expensive, but they actually found out that they really needed to spend money after buying a house.

3000 two million yen was officially delivered and the contract has been signed.From that moment on, this apartment on the eleventh floor officially became Hikigaya Hachiman's property.There is also a parking space and a small warehouse attached to the house. Of course, you have to pay an expensive monthly rent. You don't know when these things will come in use, so you still have to pay them in full.

After getting the key, Hikigaya Hachiman stood in the empty, well-decorated room and suddenly felt the most powerful sense of accomplishment since coming to this world.Owning your own home is often one of the most important things in a person's life.This is Hikigaya Hachiman's first house, but it won't be his last.

----

When talking to Machida Enko on the phone a few days ago, Kasumigaoka Shiu expressed her apology very formally and said that she would write a second volume that would satisfy the publisher no matter what.

Machida was surprised by Kasumigaoka's change of attitude, but she did not forget the most important thing.She retells to Kasumigaoka what Hachiman-sensei told her, especially the love story that already had a framework.

"...Editor Machida, since you have such an idea, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Kasumigaoka Shiyu was surprised by the ideas provided by the other party. As a spiritual author, she instantly felt that this love story had great potential.She hated the clichéd and bloody plots of parents obstructing and third parties intervening, but she couldn't think of a better way to expand the plot.

"I said I came up with it myself, do you believe it?"

Machida Enzi didn't have enough confidence. She really couldn't explain how she suddenly had an idea when she had been anxious.

"Tell me, Editor Machida, which expert did you get advice from?"

Kasumigaoka Shiyu smiled and pointed at the other party. She leaned forward and pressed the two huge soft lumps on her chest against the computer table.

"Okay, you guessed it right. But I can't tell you who the other party is for the time being. Time is running out. Your task is to write the second volume quickly. Also, prepare the outlines of the last three volumes. I want to work together. Let it be looked at by the company.”

"Okay, Editor Machida, since you have provided me with a good material, I will try my best. I will hang up now, Editor Machida."

Kasumigaoka Shiyu buried her head in her two soft balls and began to moan in comfort.

"It's not that you try your best, but that you must work hard even for my future, little Shiyu!"

Machida Enzi felt that Kasumigaoka was still a little careless and couldn't help but become anxious, but there was only a beeping sound left in the receiver.

"This kid is really out of line sometimes."

Machida said helplessly.After all, the other party's main job is a high school student. Even if she can't continue writing the novel and cut it in half, it will only be a small setback and will not have any impact on her life.

But for her as an editor, this had a great impact. After all, Kasumigaoka was an author recognized by the library. She entrusted her to him because he wanted to develop Kasumigaoka to a higher level.As a result, she ended up like this after more than half a year, and she couldn't explain it to anyone.

At the same time, Kasumigaoka Shiyu did not start coding immediately.She took out "Malice" which she had purchased a few days ago but was not in the mood to read, and read it carefully.

When your goal is established, even fishing is so happy.

Chapter 52 Hikigaya Hachiman’s birthday

In the end, Yukinoshita Yukino did not choose to return to Japan this summer vacation.

When she was talking about this matter with her sister on the phone, her sister told her that there were some problems in the family business recently. Her mother was very busy and was not in a good mood. She might easily get into trouble when she came back at this time.

After hearing this, Yukino immediately decided to cancel her plan to go home during the summer vacation. She knew very well how low the air pressure in the house would be when her mother was stressed about family matters. She would feel suffocated just thinking about it.

"Forget it, it's better for my sister to endure my mother's low pressure alone. I won't go back and get into trouble."

Yukinoshita Yukino said this, she was even a little grateful to her sister for telling her this.In the past, Yangno would have warmly welcomed her home over the phone instead of staying abroad all day.

Yukino believed that her sister did not want the relationship between her and her mother, which had finally eased a little bit, to return to the starting point during this summer vacation, which was considered a good intention.

"I understand, thank you, sister. See you in the winter then."

Yukino ended the call. She seemed to have a feeling that when her sister said goodbye to her, her tone seemed to rise uncontrollably, but she didn't care. She was ready to have a good sleep and go horse riding tomorrow. .

"Did you see? She has to thank me."

Yukinoshita Harano said to herself proudly, put down her phone, and rode back to Hikigaya Hachiman.

"Senior, what did you just say?"

Hikigaya Hachiman was riding a horse in the sunshine with Haruno.Since it was already summer vacation, Yangno took him to the large open-air riding club in the suburbs that he had mentioned before.

While the two were enjoying a horseback walk, Harano's cell phone suddenly rang.After glancing at the screen, she told Hikigaya Hachiman to wait a moment, then drove her horse to a distance to talk on her own.

"Maybe it involves some family matters, and it's not convenient for outsiders to know."

Hikigaya Hachiman thought so.However, he saw an uncontrollable smile on Yangno's lips at the end of the call. It was beautiful, but also very inexplicable.

"Ah, it's nothing, junior. I was just talking to myself."

Yukinoshita Harano looked at Hikigaya Hachiman with a smile.The latter didn't know whether it was because of the intense gaze or the scorching sun above his head that he couldn't bear it, so he lowered his head.

"Senior, how do you feel about the short story I sent you before?"

Hikigaya Hachiman couldn't stand the fact that Haruno kept urging him in various ways, so he had no choice but to send his heartwarming "Disintegration of the Guardian" to his senior sister.

"Well, Hikigaya-senpai. Of course I read it, but it seems to be a little different from the story I expected."

Yukinoshita Harano said, stretching out his right hand to make a gesture of losing the South Korean market.

"Well, this is the short story that will be serialized in the magazine this month, and there will be seven more, but I haven't started writing it yet. Do you remember? Senior sister, I said at the award ceremony that I want to take photos It’s a true case of reasoning. Now I’m focusing on that. When it’s written into a book, I’ll definitely let you read it first.”

Hikigaya Hachiman said.He has written about a quarter of "The Clock Museum Incident", which is more than 6 words.

"Hmm, that's pretty much it, junior. Sister, I'm really looking forward to it."

Yukinoshita Harano said with a smile, and the figure under the sun got closer to Hikigaya Hachiman.

When it was almost noon, the two of them ended their ride and came to the rest area.

Because the weather outside was so hot, even if both of them wore sun hats, they would inevitably sweat.The hair on Yukinoshita Yono's forehead was now wet with sweat and turned into strands.However, Haruno had no intention of taking care of it. She rummaged through her bag, took out a very luxurious and exquisite gift box, and handed it in the direction of Hikigaya Hachiman.

"Happy birthday to you, Hikigaya-senpai. Although it's a day early, please accept this."

Hikigaya Hachiman was a little stunned. This was the first birthday surprise given to him by an outsider. Even if it was a day early, it was enough for him to remember.

"Thank you...senpai, can I open it?"

Qianxun transfer skirt 554707555

Hikigaya Hachiman, who had never experienced such a thing, seemed a little at a loss. He didn't know what to do in this situation without being rude.

"Of course, if I give it to you, it's yours. Take a look."

Hikigaya Hachiman carefully untied the rope on the gift box. After opening it, there was a high-end-looking pen inside.

"The Taipan 149 series is not expensive. Although most people use keyboards to type now, I still think writers should have a useful pen. What do you think, junior?"

Yukinoshita Harano tilted her head, admiring Hikigaya Hachiman's eyes full of light.

"Of course, senpai, I like it very much. I will use this pen to create the outline of my future works. But senpai, why is it today?"

Hikigaya Hachiman asked his doubts. His birthday is tomorrow, and his family plans to celebrate it tomorrow.He has already invited two editors, Machida and Imamura, and is planning to take this opportunity today to invite Harno.

"I'm sorry, junior, I also want to officially celebrate your birthday tomorrow. But you also know that there are some things in our family that cannot be violated. In fact, I tried my best to get out today, but it didn't go so well. "

There have indeed been some problems in the family business recently, and she did not lie on the phone with her sister before.Mrs. Yukinoshita believed that Yangno would take over the company sooner or later, so she arranged for her to stay in the company as an intern during the summer vacation, and she happened to understand some of the situation.

There was one thing that Yukinoshita Yono didn't say, and that was that she found that Teacher Hachiman didn't seem to be so smart with her mother, and it only happened when Yono brought it up herself.

"It's such a pity. If it's something about senior's family, then it's not convenient for me to ask more questions. Thank you for the gift. I will always cherish it."

Hikigaya Hachiman noticed something unspeakable about the other party, so he didn't ask further.

After returning home, he sent an email to Naho Imamura and Enko Machida again to prevent these two workaholics from forgetting the party at Hikigaya's house tomorrow.The replies from the two people came quickly, saying that they would overcome all difficulties and strive to arrive at Hikigaya's home on time tomorrow.

At midnight, Hikigaya Hachiman received several emails and text messages at once. Most of them were from staff members of the publishing house he knew. Several classmates he met in the new class also sent him blessing text messages.

These are things that Hikigaya Hachiman has never experienced before. After editing and replying to each other one by one, he fell asleep.

Chapter 53 Hikigaya Hachiman sets sail again

The holidays always go by quickly. On August 22, when school starts in two days, the September issue of "All Readings" was officially released.The new serialization of Mr. Hachiman that mystery fans across Japan have been eagerly awaiting will begin with this issue.

In order to lower everyone's expectations as much as possible, Hikigaya Hachiman has stated on Twitter that the content of this series will be short stories, and his real masterpiece is still being created.

"It doesn't matter whether it's a long or short story, I just want to see Hachiman-sensei's new serialization!"

His fans were very enthusiastic and immediately started a team building activity under his Twitter.

"That's right. We can just read single volumes of long-form stories. Mr. Hachiman, can you write some of your daily life in the magazine? There must be a lot of people who want to read it."

Why would anyone want to see the daily life of a male junior high school student... Hikigaya Hachiman was speechless.He does value his privacy very seriously, but if you think about it, isn't his daily life just about studying and coding?This would be too boring to write.

"Hachiman-sensei's new serial is finally here, and my 'Hachiman addiction' can be relieved."

Some fans have been infected with a disease called "Hachiman Addiction", which makes them feel as anxious as if there are ants crawling all over their body when Mr. Hachiman is not watching. Reading the comments, I feel that many people are suffering from the disease.

"It's not me, you guys. Have you lost the ability to communicate normally in Mr. Hachiman's comment section? Mr. Hachiman is a minor, so please take it easy."

Finally, a rational fan stood up and spoke, but such voices are really in the minority.The comment area was quickly occupied by crazy fans.

However, although fans like to go crazy, after all, they are people who love literature, especially mystery literature. They got the new issue of "All Readings" and started reading it seriously.

"This story... is really different from Mr. Hachiman's previous style..."

"Is Mr. Hachiman going to write family dramas? I don't want that kind of thing."

"But, apart from the fact that there is no case, this story is still a very standard mystery story. There are incidents, decryptions, and even a little twist."

"I can only say that Mr. Hachiman is writing a very new type of mystery novel."
