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

Hikigaya Hachiman prepared to stand up.He was directly pushed back by Yukinoshita Yono.

"Lie down!"

Yukinoshita Yono said a little angrily.She found that sometimes she was really eaten to death by this junior student.

"By the way, senior. You are very tired today, right? Do you want senior to give you a reward?"

Yangno looked at Hachiman lying on the sofa and suddenly had an idea.

"What kind of reward is it, senior sister? Tell me about it."

Hikigaya Hachiman asked curiously.

However, Yukinoshita Yono didn't tell him, but patted her thigh first.

"Want to give it a try? I've been working out, so I promise to be very flexible."

Yukinoshita Yono said with some charm.

Yukinoshita Yukino was following her father and mother, eating small bites. She was indeed a little hungry at this time.

"Is it really okay if my sister doesn't come to dinner?"

While Yukino was eating, she was still worried about her sister's condition.

"Mom, Father, let me take some food to the lounge and give it to my sister. She must not be feeling well right now."

Yukinoshita Yukino said.After getting her mother's nod, she started to put food on a new plate, and then walked to the lounge.

"Tell me, wife, what do you think? According to our country's laws, it would be difficult for Mr. Hachiman to marry or marry our two daughters at the same time, right? Do you want me to work hard and submit it to Congress? How about trying this motion to see if it can be passed?"

Mr. Yukinoshita asked both seriously and jokingly, receiving a charming eye roll from Mrs. Yukinoshita.

"Oh, how can I decide this? If Hikigaya-kun wants to enter politics or become a business tycoon in the future, then there will be no difficulty for him to marry into our family. But if he aspires to become a writer forever, then he will marry into our family. It’s something you shouldn’t even think about. Our family is very powerful, but it can’t provide any help to Hikigaya-kun on the path of literature.”

Mrs. Yukinoshita analyzed that she was really worried about this matter recently.

"According to your opinion, it would be best for Hikigaya-kun to be with Yukino, then there won't be so many problems, right?"

Mr. Yukinoshita confirmed, his words were very straightforward, which made his wife hesitate to speak.

"Husband, I admit that I have thought this way before. I even seriously planned to bring Yukino and Hikigaya-kun together. But just now, I changed my mind."

Mrs. Yukinoshita's tone gradually became firmer, and she turned back into the uncompromising head of the Yukinoshita family.

"No matter who of our two precious daughters ends up with Hikigaya-kun, I will agree and give my blessing. If it is Haruno, we will find a way to persuade Hikigaya-kun and let him embark on the path of politics or business. We will give him our full support, and I believe that with Hikigaya-kun’s abilities, he can definitely become the new head of the Yukinoshita family!”

Mrs. Yukinoshita said firmly.In Japan, it is never a shame for a capable man to marry into the woman's family and change her surname. If the man does well enough, he can completely control the family's industry and resources, and finally become the real head of the family. This kind of thing has always happened occur. (Although Mr. Yukinoshita didn't do it)

"If Hikigaya-kun chooses to stick to the path of literary creation, and we can't convince him, and if Haruno is willing! We will let Haruno get married! Leave the responsibility of this family to Yukino, I believe in my daughter , what Yono can do, Yukino can also do! Our two daughters, there has never been a saying that one of them must inherit the Yukinoshita family, so I train them equally, and they both Growing up very well.”

Regarding her two daughters, Mrs. Yukinoshita sometimes gets angry, but she is never disappointed.

"If Yukino and Hikigaya-kun were together, I would also bless them. Moreover, I would not say things like 'this is better' or 'this saves trouble'! This is not what a mother should say. In the past, maybe I didn't realize it, but now I have changed my mind. I will no longer interfere with the relationship between my daughters and Hikigaya-kun. I am only responsible for waiting for the final result and taking the possibilities extended by that result. And work hard.”

Mrs. Yukinoshita looked at her husband, and the other man's eyes were completely firm at this time, which showed his trust in his wife.

"Husband, we can still manage this family for many, many years, until the heir is fully qualified and lets him (her) take over the rudder from us."

"Before, I always thought that my children would grow up quickly so that they could quickly take over our place in charge of the family. Why bother? We are not old yet, and we still have plenty of energy. We are not in a hurry to retire. Give me more Give the children some time to fight for their future."

Mrs. Yukinoshita put the wine glass back on the table, her eyes no longer confused at all.

Chapter 80 Hikigaya Hachiman is caught

Hikigaya Hachiman was currently enjoying Yukinoshita Harano's knee pillow critically.As the other party said, Yangno's thighs are indeed very comfortable to rest on, not hard or soft, and quite elastic.

Hachiman was relatively tired. He wanted to take a nap, but he didn't dare.Sleeping under the eyes of others makes him feel very insecure, so he must maintain his sobriety and rationality while enjoying it to prevent him from turning around and diving in headfirst.

In Hikigaya Hachiman's opinion, this kind of enjoyment does not contain emotions and is an enjoyment that is divorced from high-level taste.For someone like him who wants to become a literary giant, it would be better to minimize some similar enjoyments.

By the way, why is this action called "knee pillow"?From the perspective of the human body structure, this should be called the "thigh pillow". From the perspective of the bone structure, this should also be called the "femoral pillow". The knee is obviously such a hard place. It is really incomprehensible...

The above are some of the random thoughts in Hikigaya Hachiman's mind as he tried his best to stay awake. At this time, Yono was scrolling through his phone above his head, which made Hachiman speechless. Not everyone in Two-dimensional would touch it at this time. His hair, cheeks, these places?

Oh, forget it, there’s no need to force what you can’t get, just enjoy the moment, right?Just as Hikigaya Hachiman was thinking this, the door suddenly opened.

Yukinoshita Yukino loves her sister Yono very much, but this does not prevent her from having the urge to hold the dinner plate on her head when she opens the door.

Of course, if you show anger, you will lose.It is most reasonable to pretend that nothing happened.

If Yukino hadn't put the plate on the table so hard, she might have been pretending.

"Sister, I still think it's not enough for you to eat just a few snacks. It's still a long time before the banquet ends tonight, so you'd better eat some first."

After Yukinoshita Yukino finished speaking, she left the room without looking back.

The incident happened suddenly. From the moment Yukino entered the room, put down the food, and left the room, neither of the two people on the sofa said a word.

"Then senior sister, you can have some food here first, and I'll go to the venue to take a look. I'm also a little hungry by the way, so I need to go eat something."

At this moment, Hikigaya Hachiman was completely awake. Naturally, he would not sleep back, so he simply left the lounge first.Yangno didn't say anything, just waved slightly and picked up the dinner plate sent by Yukino.

After Hachiman returned to the hall, he found a deserted corner and began to cook in silence, just like last year.Just like last year, classmate Hayama Hayato came over again, but this time he heard from somewhere that Hikigaya Hachiman was Hachiman-sensei, so he looked very excited.

Qian.Xun Resources.Group 255595300

"Hachiman-sensei...Hikigaya-san, you must be Hachiman-sensei!"

Hayama Hayato said in disbelief.

"Well, Hayama-san, my identity should not be a secret in this venue."

Hikigaya Hachiman was still eating at this time. It was a bit rude to reply to the other party in this state, but he felt that Hayama-san should not care at all at this moment.

"It's great...it's really great. Mr. Hachiman, I like your novels very much. I was so addicted to your novels before that my test scores dropped, but I made up for it later..."

Hayama Hayato kept chattering. I had never seen him so excited since Hikigaya Hachiman knew him.

Hikigaya Hachiman swallowed the food in his mouth completely, put the plate and fork away, wiped his mouth carefully with a tissue, and then looked at the other person again.

"There is no need to be so excited, Hayama-san, just treat me as an ordinary classmate. We will have to study in the same high school for three years in the future. You leave an address and I will send you a signed copy of "Malicious". Just treat it as It’s a New Year’s gift, and we are destined to be together.”

Hikigaya Hachiman asked naturally.Waiting for the beautiful young man in front of you, Mr. Hayama, to slowly adjust his mentality.

"Thank you for your kindness, Hachiman-san...Hikigaya-san. But gifts and the like are not required. I will queue up to buy them myself, so that I can be sincere."

Hayama Hayato said so, and then said goodbye to Hikigaya Hachiman and left quickly.It seems that he only came to confirm this matter halfway. In fact, there is still something to be done.

"Really, it's because I have too many fans like you that some critics accuse me of being too fandom-oriented. Forget it, I'll ask Yukinoshita's Hayama's address later and send him a copy. , queuing is quite tiring.”

Hikigaya Hachiman already had a plan in mind. Although Hayama Hayato always did some meaningless and hard things, Hikigaya Hachiman didn't hate him at all.Rather, he respects such people for being able to stick to their creed.

In the following time, Hikigaya Hachiman had a very relaxed time. He kept showing off all kinds of delicious food. Last year, he left halfway to solve Yukino's psychological problem and didn't eat much. This time he had to eat more. Eat something.

After Hikigaya Hachiman enjoyed most of the delicious food, it was almost time to leave.This year, it was Mr. Yukinoshita who came to the stage and gave the closing speech, declaring that this year’s banquet was successfully concluded.Hikigaya Hachiman found Mr. Arisugawa, said goodbye to him again, and then returned to the Yukinoshita family's lounge.

After entering the door, Hikigaya Hachiman saw Yukino.Before he could say anything, the other party had already put his index finger in front of his lips to signal for silence.He looked to the side and found that Yangno had curled up on the sofa and fell asleep. She was covered with Yukino's coat and her breathing was very even. She must have slept soundly.

"Just lie down for a while when you're tired. Look, no one will allow it."

Hikigaya Hachiman thought to himself that Haruno has been looking a little visibly haggard recently and should really take a good rest.

He and Yukino quietly left the room and closed the door.

"My sister has been really tired recently, and I am really a useless sister. There are so many things going on, but I can't help. Even Hayama-san, an outsider, has done more for the family than me."

Yukino said a little frustrated.

"Hayama-san... He has that kind of character. If I guessed correctly, he must be very tired at ordinary times. As for Yukinoshita-san, you haven't done anything for the family yet. You can do some small things for the family." Your sister is already very good considering it."

The little thing Hikigaya Hachiman said was that Yukino was delivering food to Haruno. He was afraid that the other party would recall the scene at that time, so he didn't specify it.

"I hope so. Thank you for your comfort. I feel much better. By the way, Hikigaya-san, my birthday is just four days later, January [-]rd."

Yukinoshita Yukino said quietly to Hachiman, even though there were no outsiders around.

Chapter 81 Hikigaya Hachiman’s Great Pastry

Hikigaya Hachiman's second banquet trip ended successfully. After saying goodbye to Yukinoshita and his wife, Hachiman once again got into the black luxury car and embarked on the way home.

"January [-]rd...that's really fast."

Hikigaya Hachiman leaned on the spacious back seat of the luxury car, replaying in her mind what Yukino said to her before leaving.This is the news that shocked Hikigaya Hachiman the most in tonight's banquet. After all, it is December 29th, which is too close to January [-]rd.

"If that's okay, Hikigaya-san. We can go out to have a meal together that day. I also want to formally thank you for your persuasion last year. I haven't found such an opportunity since I returned to China."

About half an hour ago, Yukinoshita Yukino said this.

"When it's your birthday, shouldn't your family celebrate it for you?"

Hikigaya Hachiman asked curiously.

"Our family... rarely engages in this kind of formality. In the past, my sister would order a cake for me. But this year, the family is getting busier and busier, so I should only give verbal blessings. As for classmates and other things, when I was in elementary school I have no friends at all, and I studied abroad in junior high school. Now I look around and the only one who can celebrate my birthday with me is you, Hikigaya-san."

Yukinoshita Yukino replied.

Hikigaya Hachiman believes that the routines of the sisters Yukinoshita are almost carved from the same mold.Last year, Yangono also asked him out shortly after the banquet on the grounds that she "wanted to formally thank him." This started a year-long bad relationship.However, Hikigaya Hachiman has to admit that this reason is indeed sufficient.

"Okay Yukinoshita-san, I think I have nothing to do that day, let's celebrate together."

Hikigaya Hachiman responded.

----

"Teacher Hachiman, we have already informed the organizing committee about the Naoki Prize admission quota you mentioned the day before yesterday. On January [-]th, you can just go directly to the venue."

Yoshihito Suzuki, the representative of the public relations department of Bungeishunqiu Publishing House, said Hakigaya Hachiman on the phone.Today is the last day of the year, and Mr. Suzuki is still working hard.

"I understand, Mr. Suzuki, thank you for your hard work. You have to worry about my affairs during the holidays. I wish you and your family a happy new year."

Hikigaya Hachiman said a little embarrassed.He told Editor Imamura about this matter during the banquet. He thought he would have to wait until the holiday was over for a reply, but he didn't expect that it was completed only one day later.

"It's not hard, Teacher Hachiman. Don't worry, as long as it is any request you make, Bungeishunqiu Publishing House will handle it as the first priority and will never delay it."

Mr. Suzuki said it very sincerely, which made Hikigaya Hachiman very embarrassed.

Bungeishunqiu Publishing House is so concerned about Hikigaya Hachiman, in addition to the excellent sales data of Hachiman's novels in the past year.There is another very important thing, and that is the contract issue.

When Hachiman and Bungei Chunqiu signed the contract for "Confession", a clause was added, that is, the next two novels of Hikigaya Hachiman will also be published by Bungei Chunqiu.In other words, after the two novels "Malice" in July and "The Causes of Disintegration" are published next April, this clause will be reached.

However, as we all know, Mr. Hachiman himself announced the existence of "The Clock Museum Incident" last year. This novel, which represents Hachiman's true foray into original reasoning, will undoubtedly become the most watched work in the mystery world next year.

However, for this work, until now, Mr. Hachiman has no intention of negotiating a contract with Bungeishunqiu Publishing House, and the publisher has never received some chapter previews from Hachiman.

"No matter what, we, Literary Spring Publishing House, must fight for the publishing rights of this "Clock Museum Incident". Don't think that just because Mr. Hachiman has cooperated well with us before, he will definitely give us all the novels in the future. Publishing, that’s a given.”

The president of Literary Spring and Autumn said this during a meeting with his subordinates.

"As far as I know, many publishing houses are trying to contact Mr. Hachiman. Fortunately, Mr. Hachiman protects his personal information better and has not been found by them. But one day, Mr. Hachiman will stand in front of the stage and be known by the public. We are familiar with it. Therefore, we must complete the request made by Mr. Hachiman as quickly as possible, so that Mr. Hachiman can feel the enthusiasm of our publishing house."

After this meeting of the president, Hikigaya Hachiman's priority in Bungeishunqiu was raised to an unprecedented level.

"Hey - if you say that, wouldn't Editor Imamura's status in the publishing house also become higher?"

Hikigaya Hachiman originally called Naho Imamura to wish her New Year's greetings, and while they were chatting, work got involved.

"Has it gotten higher? I just feel that the work pressure has increased. And, Mr. Hachiman, although I am an employee of Bunge Shunqiu, I am not an employee of their headquarters, but an editor of its magazine. So I just need to ensure that Hachiman-sensei, it would be great if you could keep serializing it in "All Readers". Hey, Hachiman-sensei, you will keep serializing it in our magazine, right?"

Naho Imamura suddenly asked.This matter is really directly related to her. No matter how well Hachiman's novels sell after publishing, she will not get the bonus.

"If nothing unexpected happens, I will definitely serialize it here."

Hikigaya Hachiman replied.

"Oh? So Hikigaya-san, what do you mean by accident?"

Naho Imamura asked teasingly.

"Unexpected circumstances, of course, if you, Editor Imamura, no longer work for "All Readings", there is no need for me to continue to submit articles there. To put it simply, Editor Imamura, whichever magazine you go to work for, I will submit articles there. ."

Hikigaya Hachiman said calmly.

"Uh-huh--don't say such words in such a calm tone, Hachiman-sensei, I'll be embarrassed."

Unexpectedly, Naho Imamura, who suddenly hit a straight ball from the opponent, suddenly became hot and warm on the other end of the phone.

"I'm serious, Editor Imamura. Your work is so tiring, it's time to protest to the publishing house. You should think about it for yourself."

Hikigaya Hachiman knew that because of his fame, the editors of "All Reading" magazine had a lot more work, but the publisher did not think of ways to reduce the work pressure of these people.
