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

Yukinoshita Yukino got to the heart of the matter.

"Yes, Yukinoshita-san. I'm sorry, I don't understand. Is there anything wrong with this?"

"With all due respect, Yuigahama-san, the problem is huge. The proposal read out by the representatives at the Student Association should be some representative content summarized after extensively collecting the opinions of the classmates. However, through what you just said As I said, can I think that the class committee of Class D, that is, your friends, directly decided the two most important things, class representative and proposal, with almost no discussion with other students? ?”

Yukinoshita Yukino said the conclusion she had already concluded in a calm tone.At this time, Yuigahama Yui's facial expression management had completely collapsed, and even her body was shaking.

"Yugahama-san, do you have the proposal that your friends gave you with you now? Can you let me take a look?"

Yukinoshita walked towards Yuigahama and extended her right hand.

Yuigahama still didn't speak. She took out a piece of paper from her school uniform pocket and placed it on Yukino's palm, not even daring to look at her.

Yukinoshita, who took the note, stood there and quickly browsed the contents.

"Strange tales, full of foolish talk."

Yukinoshita Yukino shook her head and said lightly.

"Sorry, Yukinoshita-san, I didn't hear you clearly."

Yuigahama Yui's mind was already a mess at this time.

"Don't worry, I think the thing you need to solve, Yuigahama-san, is not stage fright when speaking. Because the content in this note is a complete fantasy and unrealistic talk. With all due respect, No matter how fluently you read it, everyone present will laugh."

"Perhaps what really needs to be solved is those people who think that their proposals are full of funny words, but they don't have the courage to read them out by themselves, and they need to entrust that easy-to-talk friend to do this for them. Of course, they completely violated the regulations of the Student Association, didn't they?"

"enough!"

Yuigahama Yui didn't want to listen anymore. She stood up and rushed out of the door, her voice seemed to be crying.

"Hayama-san, please help stabilize her."

Hikigaya Hachiman ordered, Hayama Hayato also immediately left the activity room.

"Is this the result you want to see? Huh? Yukinoshita-san?"

Hikigaya Hachiman was a little uneasy at this time, but he still tried to control himself.

"Maybe I went too far, but I don't regret it. A character like Yuigahama-san can easily be taken advantage of. Isn't it wrong for her to learn about this?"

Yukinoshita Yukino noticed that Hikigaya's expression was a bit unkind, but she bravely met his eyes.

"This is where you are really wrong, Yukinoshita. I also made this mistake at first, but I soon understood that Yuigahama-san is not as simple and easy to be used as you thought. She understands everything. , Including what you said, she just doesn’t want to ruin the relationship with those friends.”

Although Hikigaya Hachiman has few friends, he is a very keen observer of humans.

"You don't want to ruin the relationship? But isn't this just accommodation? What's the point of this kind of friendship?"

"This is due to Uigahama-san's character. But please understand that accommodation itself is an important part of the process of making friends. No one is perfect. No matter how good friends are, they will think that the other person has some shortcomings that he doesn't like. , but the relationship between friends cannot be cut off at will because of these shortcomings, so people need to accommodate."

"Take Yuigahama's case as an example. We only saw that she was asked by her friends to do something that her friends didn't want to do. However, is there a possibility that Yuigahama is interacting with these friends? During the time we spent together, we gained a lot of happiness from them, and it was this happiness that made her willing to do such things for her friends?"

Hikigaya Hachiman thought he was funny.Like Yukino, he obviously has a messy dating history, but here he is telling Yukino about the psychological activities when making friends.

"What you're talking about...I don't understand. I don't have any friends at all. It's not like you don't know."

Yukino's attitude softened a lot, and she said with some self-deprecation.

"Let's think about it from another angle. The existence of the Service Department is to solve the problems of the students. One day a classmate came here, hoping to help her solve the problem of stage fright when speaking. However, not long after, the classmate cried She ran away from the service department because a member suggested to her that she should go back and break up with her friends.”

"Excuse me, if this kind of thing spreads, will anyone come to this club? Don't forget, Yukinoshita-san, this club doesn't even have legality now. Teacher Hiratsuka can take it back at any time. Hayama-san finally gave up We brought a classmate who didn’t join any clubs and really had troubles that needed to be solved, are we just going to solve her problems like this?”

Hikigaya Hachiman began to analyze the main contradictions for Yukinoshita.

"...I'm sorry, Hikigaya-san. I was indeed a little careless today. I will also go to Yuigahama-san to apologize. As for her entrustment, I will leave it to you."

Yukinoshita Yukino said that she also realized that the club needs to exist, and this is the most important thing at the moment.

"No!"

The door to the service department suddenly opened, and Yuigahama Yui's shout came.

Two five five five nine five three zero zero "Chihiro"

"Yukoshita-san, you don't need to apologize to me! Instead, I want to thank you!"

After saying that, Yuigahama bowed deeply to Yukino.

"I have figured it out. I am willing to speak as a representative of the class next week. However, whether it is the matter of being a representative or the motion I want to propose, it must be voted by the classmates. They will still be me. Friends, because of this, I want them to realize their mistakes!"

Yuigahama-san swore with determination.

"Very...very good, Yuigahama-san, very good. Frankness is a beautiful virtue. You are about to take the first step today. I wish you success."

Hikigaya Hachiman recovered from the shock and said to Yuigahama.

"Yuigahama-san, I apologize to you for maliciously speculating on the relationship between you and your friends. I am also very happy that you can be inspired by my words."

Yukino bowed back.

In any case, the first student from the service department finally got help and received special praise.After Yuigahama learned that the service club still needed one member to become an official club, she happily chose to join.After Mr. Hiratsuka understood the ins and outs of the matter, he readily agreed.

As Yukinoshita Yukino handed over the club application form signed by Teacher Hiratsuka Shizuka to the student union, the four regular club service departments of Sobu High School No. 30 were officially established on this day.

Chapter 116 The luxurious lineup of "Confession"

"Eh? Hikigaya-san is actually a writer?"

Ever since Yuigahama Yui joined the service club, she has found that this club is surprisingly quiet on weekdays. The director Yukinoshita Yukino has been reading the library silently, and from time to time she will get up and pour some black tea for Hikigaya-san beside her.

And this Hikigaya classmate only does one thing when he comes to this classroom every day, and that is to take out his laptop and start typing on the keyboard.Yuigahama Yui, who couldn't help but be curious, finally raised her doubts a week after joining the club.However, the answer she got also surprised her.

"Yes, so you should be able to feel it, Yuigahama-san. The atmosphere of the service club is very suitable for me to create."

Hikigaya Hachiman picked up the tea cup that had just been filled by Yukinoshita Yukino and took a sip with satisfaction.

"So that's it...Kura. It's really amazing. Hikigaya-san became a writer at the age of 16 or something."

Yuigahama Yui sighed, but she didn't seem interested in what books Hikigaya Hachiman had written.

As a Japanese female high school student in the Rippei style, Yuigahama Yui spends her spare time mainly making friends, and in her alone time, she looks for various topics that can be used as chat materials.For example, she is trending on Twitter right now, and any topic that hits the daily feeds is likely to become a topic of conversation with her friends tomorrow.

"Ah, it's Masa Okada. He's going to star in a new movie."

Yuigahama said in surprise that Masahiro Okada is a young male star that her two friends like very much. This topic will definitely last a long time tomorrow.

Hearing this name, Hikigaya Hachiman thought for a moment, and he remembered that Okada Masaru seemed to be one of the actors who passed the "Confession" audition that day.

Hikigaya Hachiman also opened Twitter, and what came into view was the announcement of the cast of the movie version of "Confession" that had completely overwhelmed the screen. Fans from all over the world were celebrating that their idols had won roles in this much-anticipated movie. Role.

As for the Okada Shomasa mentioned by Yuigahama, he is a new actor who looks very much like a member of a boy band, but is actually a new actor who debuted directly as an actor.Although he has not played many roles yet, he already has a very strong fan base. The most important thing is that because he is very junior, the appearance fee is very cheap.

The famous child star Ai Ashida plays the role of Teacher Moriguchi's daughter Aimi.How good is this child star?She appeared on the Kohaku Utakai Festival at the age of seven. In the same year, she became the youngest TV drama star in Japanese history and created very good ratings.Of course, because she is a child star, her appearance fee is also very cheap.

As for Kimura Yoshiko, Hashimoto Airi, Miyoshi Nako and others, they are all artists who have achieved relatively high popularity in other fields of the entertainment industry, but are still in the newcomer stage in the film industry.It is also very popular, but the appearance fee is not high.

In short, the entire "Confession" crew is very well-known, but in fact they don't need to pay a lot of remuneration. Considering that the appearance fees of Japanese actors themselves are relatively mediocre, Hikigaya even doubted that the "Confession" crew Are all the actors performing voluntary performances?

However, there is indeed an actor in this crew, who is performing a voluntary performance, and he is Hoshino Akua.

In the movie version of "Confession" in the original world, the actor Shuya Watanabe was also a little-known boy. Even after the movie was released and gained great popularity, his acting career did not take off like other starring actors.Frankly speaking, his performance in the movie is definitely not a failure or bad, it's just that others were too brilliant and overshadowed his important role.

Hikigaya Hachiman hopes that Hoshino Akua can perform Shuya Watanabe more successfully. He has the ability and is humble enough to learn. He should not repeat the mistakes of the actor with the same role in the previous life.

"Hey, hey—? Hikigaya-san, are you actually the original author of "Confession"?"

Yuigahama Yui on the side didn't know what kind of Twitter content she had read, and she raised her head in surprise and looked at Hikigaya Hachiman.

"Uh...that's right, Yuigahama-san. Have you read "Confession"?"

"Sorry, Hikigaya-kun, I haven't read it yet. But I've heard many people mention this book, and now it's being made into a movie. It's really great."

Yuigahama Yui praised with some embarrassment. She decided to go home tonight and search for videos on YouTube that take you through XXX in 15 minutes. She would try to catch up on it, although this would result in a loss of a lot of reading. Fun, but more than enough for conversation.

Hikigaya Hachiman and Yukinoshita Yukino exchanged glances without saying anything else.

"Visiting class? Is this necessary?"

Hikigaya Hachiman is on the phone with his assistant Sakamachi Konjiro. Now, except for people with relatively close relationships, all other official cooperation phone calls or emails go directly to his assistant.

"What the crew of "Confession" means is that they plan to shoot a start-up vlog. If they can add a scene of you, Mr. Hachiman, 'happening' to visit the crew, the popularity will definitely be even higher."

Assistant Hikigaya Hachiman explained.Of course, what he explained was just paraphrasing the original words of the crew. As an assistant, he would not take the initiative to give any opinions without his employer asking.

"Okay, after all, the box office is also linked to the money I will make in the future, so I should also contribute to publicity. I also want to see what the filming scene is like. Please help me reply to them."

"I understand, Hachiman-sensei."

Now Hikigaya Hachiman is still very curious about the formal filming process of the crew.After all, he will be the one who will provide scripts to NHK in the future, so it will be useful to know some of the work of the crew.

It just so happened that he could also take this opportunity to go to Literary Spring and Autumn Publishing House and send over the revised manuscript of "The Clock Museum Incident" and the several completed illustrations that Ying Lili gave him.In this way, it won't be long before the final version of "The Clock Museum Incident" will be released. Hikigaya Hachiman plans to get some from the publishing house and give them to his friends and relatives in Chiba.

After finishing all the creation and revision of "The Clock Museum Incident", Hikigaya Hachiman thought it was time to think about a new work.

His arrangement for his creation is: to serialize socialist mystery novels in "All Readings", and during the serialization process, he will continue to write original mystery novels, and publish them directly after they are written, maintaining the pace of publishing two to three novels per year.

Frankly speaking, this kind of publication frequency is beyond the reach of even a certain best-seller in his previous life.Hikigaya Hachiman is just a little worried about Haruno. The financial director of Hachiman Studio may be very busy.

Chapter 117 A lunch at Yukinoshita’s house

Shimo Yono has been really busy recently. She even feels that her studies at university have become the least important thing for her under the current circumstances.

Of course, this does not mean that Yangno is tired of studying. Her academic performance is still excellent. She has been slowly developing her ability to handle things in multiple threads since she was in junior high school.Since then, Yangno has always been indoctrinated with the idea that she will become the future head of the Yukinoshita family.

Originally, in her imagination, after she entered Chiba University, the proportion of her energy occupied by her family's work and her studies at the university would be about [-]-[-].Even with the new responsibility of Hachiman Studio's finance, she thought it was just an easy part-time job.

However, she was totally wrong. Yukinoshita Yono was surprised to find that managing accounts for Hikigaya Hachiman was indeed a very tedious task. There were often all kinds of income, and the accounting work couldn't be done at all. Sloppy, especially considering that the employer is still his dear junior student, Yangno will take it more seriously.

Therefore, the proportion of family work in Yangno will not change. In order to make way for her junior's financial work, she has to significantly reduce the proportion of university studies.

"Ugh... I'm really busy lately, sister, Hikigaya-kun..."

Yukinoshita Harano lay facelessly on the bed in her room, complaining in a coquettish tone to Hikigaya Hachiman, who was leaning on the bed, and her hands were playing with Hachiman's dull hair.

"Then I, the boss, will be merciful and give you a salary increase. By the way, the salary you get now as a part-time accountant is higher than many full-time employees."

Hikigaya Hachiman was reading a recently published mystery novel and replied casually.As a mystery writer, he certainly cannot just immerse himself in writing. He should also pay attention to the works of other current writers from time to time.

"If you think you can get rid of my sister with money, are you thinking too much? Hikigaya-kun who is in the same room with senpai but has been reading a book?"

Yang Nai said somewhat angrily.Although it is true that she can make a lot of money part-time here in Hachiman, her main purpose is naturally to spend more time with and communicate with her Hikigaya classmate.

Yukinoshita Yukino analyzed the intelligence collected from all aspects and could only draw one conclusion, that is, her sister Yukinoshita Yukino was chasing Hikigaya Hachiman's progress at a crazy speed.She even suspected that Yukino would just rent out her apartment in a while and move in next door. The difference from now would be just a different place to sleep.

"Then what do you want, senior sister? Then I won't read anymore, I will read you now!"

After saying that, Hikigaya Hachiman closed the novel, turned his head and started a fierce staring contest with Harano.Just when the two looked at each other and the atmosphere was gradually heating up, Yukinoshita Yukino's voice came from outside the door like a ghost.

"The two of you inside, no matter what you are doing now. I am just here to relay my mother's announcement. Lunch has been prepared. Please go to the restaurant to eat as soon as possible."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard footsteps walking away without any hesitation.

----

A long time ago, Hikigaya Hachiman always thought that the Yukinoshita family would sit down at the table in the main hall to eat.It wasn't until I stayed at Yukinoshita's house for dinner that I realized that there was a dining room, dining table, and chairs.

Of course, Hikigaya Hachiman is now very familiar with the Yukinoshita family's restaurant, and even has a fixed place at the dining table that belongs to him.

One of the family rules set by Mrs. Yukinoshita is that no talking is allowed during meals. Mrs. Yukinoshita herself has always taken the lead in enforcing it, so the family is always very quiet when eating.

But every time Hikigaya Hachiman comes to Yukinoshita's house as a guest, Mrs. Yukinoshita will take the initiative to break this rule. After all, Mrs. Yukinoshita is the one who makes the rules. She has these privileges, which does not mean that others can also have them.

"Hikigaya-kun, how is the studio running lately?"

Mrs. Yukinoshita looked at Hikigaya Hachiman kindly and asked.In other words, the two of them were sitting far apart, otherwise Mrs. Yukinoshita would have to put food in Hikigaya's bowl.

"Thanks to your and Yangno's help, everything went smoothly in the studio. My own work pressure has indeed been greatly relieved, and I can concentrate more on creation in the future."

Hikigaya Hachiman swallowed the food in his mouth and replied.Taking into account the order of elders and younger ones, he put Mrs. Yukinoshita in front of Haruno in his words.This is normal, but Yukinoshita Yonoko, who is sitting across from Hachiman and has been very tired recently from the studio's accounts, doesn't think so.

Yukinoshita Yono felt very unbalanced, but she didn't dare to speak at the dinner table, especially since her mother was having a lively conversation with Hachiman. If she rashly interrupted, she might be forced to do so on the spot. He left the table and went to the kitchen to eat with his bowl in hand.

However, doing nothing has never been Harano's character, so she decided to use her long and flexible legs to do some construction work under the table with Hachiman Chigaya.She gently raised her right leg, and her feet wrapped in white stockings reached towards Hikigaya Hachiman...

"Why is it Yukino's?!"

Yangno was shocked. Although she was separated by a layer of socks, she could clearly feel the touch of black stockings on her toes. Hikigaya Hachiman naturally wouldn't wear black stockings, so there was only one possibility left: her own. My sister Yukino went to be with her again.

At this time, Yukinoshita Yukino was also in a very messy mood. She wanted to use her feet wrapped in black stockings under the table to stimulate Hikigaya Hachiman beside her, but unexpectedly, she was stimulated by her sister first.

The two looked at each other expressionlessly, put away their thoughts of making trouble, and continued to eat in silence, ignoring the conversation between their mother and Hikigaya Hachiman.
