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

"You're not bad either. The football department has taken away so much of your energy, and you can still do well in your studies."

Hikigaya Hachiman really admires Hayama. He knows very well that Hayama’s investment in the football club is far greater than his investment in writing. He can steadily improve his performance in this way. He must have paid hard work that is difficult for ordinary people to do. The effort of imagination.

After the two of them finished their greetings, Hayama did not leave, but continued to search the performance list. He was looking for Miura Yuko's name.As he expected, Miura's ranking dropped sharply, and such intense student union work was bound to affect her academic performance.

"Is this really worth it? Miura-san..."

Hayama Hayato fell into deep thought.

Hiratsuka Shizuka was very satisfied with the test results of Class F this time, especially Hikigaya Hachiman, and praised them profusely at the class meeting.

"In addition, in the middle of this month, the school will also hold an annual cultural festival. Everyone should be familiar with it, after all, it is also held in junior high school."

"In order to carry out this activity better, each of our classes needs to elect a boy and a girl to serve as the executive committee members of the cultural festival. All the executive members will form a committee to carry out the activities. That's it. So, are there any students who are willing to take the initiative? Where to sign up?”

Hiratsuka Shizu began to look around.

To Hikigaya's surprise, four students in the class took the initiative to raise their hands, and there was no need to go through the class teacher's appointment process that no one wanted to see.

"Then in the next week, I will ask the class committee and executive committee members to perform their duties well and democratically determine the theme activities of our class at the cultural festival. Okay, that's it for today's class meeting. I’ll leave the time for you to come down.”

Shizuka Hiratsuka packed up her things and left the classroom as the whole class stood up to watch.

Hikigaya Hachiman was very impressed with the cultural festival.He had heard someone say that when Yukinoshita Yono was the student council president of Sobu High School, the most successful event he held was the cultural festival.

Just when Hachiman's thoughts were wandering to nowhere, he received a LINE from Yukino on his phone:

"Hachiman, let's go together after class ends at three o'clock - Yukino"

Hachiman was confused. He clearly told Yukino yesterday that he was going to the public office to meet the mayor this afternoon.

"I also want to go to the city hall. The Board of Education has accepted my report letter and they want to see me - Yukino"

"?—Hachiman"

"When did you send it? Why didn't I know? - Hachiman"

"I sent it yesterday afternoon, and you didn't even ask me - Yukino"

"...Well, I didn't care about you enough. I was wrong - Hachiman"

All in all, Hachiman and Yukino got into a taxi heading to Chiba City Hall after class.

"Yukino, do you know what they will say if they ask you to go this afternoon?"

Hachiman asked with concern.

"From what they said on the phone, they didn't seem to believe that I, as a freshman in high school, could provide such a detailed report. So in the afternoon, I will probably confirm the authenticity of this matter first. They will definitely ask me a lot of questions. questionable."

Yukino guessed, her tone sounding very relaxed.

"So do you think the school knows about this now?"

"It's impossible to say for sure, but no matter what happens now, the school will definitely know tomorrow. I probably won't have any leisure time in the next period of time. Maybe I won't even be able to go to club activities for several days."

For some reason, Hachiman even heard a hint of expectation in Yukino's words just now.

"Your tone sounds really relaxed. Are you actually a person who is eager to break the rules, Yukino?"

Hikigaya Hachiman said thoughtfully.

"Rules are meant to be broken. I forgot which celebrity said this, but I have always believed it."

Yukinoshita Yukino answered seriously.

"Is there a possibility that the person who said this is not the same person..."

Hikigaya Hachiman complained.

It was only a 10-minute drive from Sobu High to the city hall, and the two arrived at their destination quickly.

"Qianxun" two five five.[-]

"I think my conversation with the mayor will definitely be shorter than yours. I will still be waiting for you here and wish you success."

Hikigaya Hachiman and Yukinoshita Yukino stood in the square in front of the office, fist bumped each other, and then walked into the gate respectively.

Chapter 181 Teacher Hachiman deserves it (New January, please vote!)

Hikigaya Hachiman talked with the current mayor of Chiba City, Kamiya Shunji, for about an hour. During this time, no one else took notes or took pictures. The content of the conversation between the two was limited to literature. This was a truly private meeting. .

As Kinjiro Sakamachi said, the mayor with a background in literature does have a high interest in literature and a relatively deep attainment. These contents cannot be accumulated through temporary tutoring before the conversation, so Hachiman also has a very good impression of him. good.

"Mr. Mayor, if you had not entered politics, you would have become a literary giant."

At the end of the conversation, Hikigaya Hachiman offered a sincere courtesy.

"Hahaha, you praise me too much, Mr. Hachiman. To tell you the truth, I turned to politics precisely because I found that I had no talent in literary creation. But in fact, I have no talent in politics. I relied on my family's With the support of resources, he is only a mayor at almost 50 years old."

Mayor Kamiya smiled and waved his hand.In fact, at the age of 50, in Japan's political arena, he is considered a teenager at best.

"It's getting late, Mr. Hachiman. Before I end, I have a more personal request to trouble you. You are the most accomplished writer in literature in Chiba City and even Chiba Prefecture over the years. So. With your current influence, if you can occasionally briefly promote Chiba on social media or in articles, it will be of great help to the development of this city."

Mayor Kamiya's words were very useful to Hikigaya Hachiman, and he naturally had no reason to refuse. He also loved his hometown very much.

"I also hope that Chiba will get better and better, Mr. Mayor, of course there is no problem."

Hikigaya Hachiman said sincerely.

Next, Mayor Kamiya gave Hachiman his undisclosed mobile phone number, but he didn't say anything, and Hachiman didn't ask. Everything was kept silent.

After the meeting, Kamiya Shunji hurriedly said goodbye to Hachiman and went to attend a meeting. Hachiman was sent downstairs by one of his assistants.

Hachiman was about to find a place to sit down and wait for Yukino, when his cell phone suddenly rang.

"Who is calling at this hour...Mrs. Yukinoshita?!"

Hachiman immediately answered the phone.

"Good afternoon, Hikigaya-kun, is it convenient for you to talk now?"

The familiar voice of Mrs. Yukinoshita came, but Hikigaya Hachiman felt that she seemed to be suppressing some emotions.

"It's convenient, Mrs. Yukinoshita, if you have anything you can tell me."

"Actually... ah... Hikigaya-kun, you know that Yukino kid wrote a long report letter and sent it to the Board of Education, right?"

Mrs. Yukinoshita's voice suddenly changed from reserved to helpless. It seemed that she didn't intend to hide any emotions from Hikigaya Hachiman.

"Well, I know."

"Sigh... Why didn't you stop her? But I'm so worried about this daughter who never lets me worry."

Mrs. Yukinoshita didn't mean to blame Hachiman, her voice sounded more like a helpless confession.

"I'm really sorry, Mrs. Yukinoshita. But I can also guarantee that although I failed to stop this, I never expressed support. After all, I have no way or qualifications to change her will."

"Don't say that, Hikigaya-kun, I don't mean to blame you. I think I'm just too used to Yukino. I immediately asked the driver to go to school to pick her up and take her home. It just so happened that Yangono was also at home. It’s time to give her a good meeting today.”

Mrs. Yukinoshita's voice gradually became colder. As a superior, she was naturally the guardian of the rules.Therefore, she was very annoyed and even angry about her own daughter's behavior.

"I understand, but Mrs. Yukinoshita, what else did you have to do when you called me...?"

Hikigaya Hachiman felt a little strange. Did Mrs. Yukinoshita call her own daughter home to discipline her, so did she need to make a special phone call to report to him?

"Actually, there is nothing wrong, Hikigaya-kun. Even with today's situation, we really can't invite you to our home. If you were here, I would be embarrassed to say too harsh words, and that kid Yukino would definitely be a lot tougher. ,so..."

To put it bluntly, Mrs. Yukinoshita's concern is that Hachiman will come back with Yukino, which will affect her performance tonight.

In fact, Mrs. Yukinoshita has long regarded Hachiman as a family member, and Hachiman no longer needs to say hello in advance when he comes to Yukinoshita's house.But in this situation tonight, it would be better if Hachiman wasn't here.

"I see... I understand, Mrs. Yukinoshita. However, you have to ask the driver to pick her up at the Chiba City Hall. Yukino and I are both here now. The Education Committee is currently questioning Yukino."

Hikigaya Hachiman reminded.

"Oh my God...Okay Hikigaya-kun, thank you for telling me about this. Are you there with her?"

"No, I came here with her because of another small matter. Mayor Kamiya wanted to chat with me for a while."

Hikigaya Hachiman replied.

After ending the call, Hikigaya Hachiman began a long wait.About 10 minutes later, the Yukinoshita family's black luxury car had arrived, but Yukino still didn't come out. Hachiman had no choice but to sit on the bench and chat with the familiar driver to pass the time.

After another twenty minutes, as the sun was about to set, Yukino's figure finally appeared at the door of the office.She didn't look tired at all, but she still maintained a high-spirited state.

"From the look of you, is the progress going well?"

Hikigaya Hachiman greeted him and asked.

"Well, it went very well. They will start the investigation within this week, and I will still be needed to accompany them then. But that will happen in the future. Let's go back quickly."

Yukino said with some excitement that she had taken a solid step and now she just wanted to go home with Hachiman.

"I congratulate you on the progress you've made. But I'm sorry I can't be with you tonight."

After Hikigaya Hachiman finished speaking, he turned sideways so that Yukino could notice the driver standing behind him.

"Does mother already know about this..."

Needless to say, Yukino instantly understood what was going on.

"Miss, my wife only asked me to take you home for dinner today."

The driver said respectfully.

"So...Hachiman you won't go back with me tonight, will you?"

Yukinoshita Yukino knew the answer to this question, but she still asked it, as if a miracle would happen if she asked it.

"Sorry, Yukino."

"Okay, then... I'll see you at school tomorrow."

Yukino nodded slightly. She wanted to hug Hachiman now, but the people around her were coming and going, and it was really difficult for her to open her hands.

"Remember, don't be tit-for-tat, and don't be overly fearful. Slowly and clearly explain to your mother how you think about it. People of her position tend to consciously stand on the side of maintaining authority, but This does not mean that she is unreasonable. Therefore, when expressing opinions, be sure not to express emotions, so that even if you cannot convince her, at least you will not anger her."

Hikigaya Hachiman warned finally, and then watched Yukino get into the black luxury car and gradually disappear into the night.

----

After returning home, Hikigaya Hachiman was too lazy to cook, so he took out another box of self-heating hot pot and started cooking.He doesn't care too much about Yukino's situation. After all, it is a family matter. No matter how close his relationship with the Yukinoshita family is now, he is still just an outsider, and it is really not his turn to worry about it.

But what really needs Hachiman to care about is his career.

In the past half month, he had been working hard to prepare for the exam, and after the exam, he made suggestions for Yukino.It just so happened that while Yukino was away today, he could review what happened in the past half month and what news there was.

Hikigaya Hachiman knows very well that within the entertainment industry, it is difficult for anything to be called a secret. Everyone can always get some inside information through various channels.Of course, while eating melons, you must always be prepared, because there is a risk that some of your own things will be leaked out at any time.

For example, the script contract for the second season of "Furuhata Jinsaburo" signed between Hikigaya Hachiman and NHK. Within a few days after it was signed, the price part of it had already spread, and some entertainment media had even News was released for this purpose.

"A new contract between Hachiman and NHK was revealed. It is reported that the price of a single episode has reached 2000 million yen."

"According to reliable information, writer Hachiman has reached a contract extension with NHK for the "Furuhata Jinsaburo" series, with a total contract price of nearly [-] million yen!"

"A new high! NHK spends [-] million yen! Just to win the second season of "Furuhata Rensaburo""

Regarding these pieces of news, Hachiman has an expression like "an old man on a subway cell phone."But when we wait for the third season, maybe we can actually achieve it.

Although these news are somewhat exaggerated, they are right about at least one thing, that is, his new script contract is indeed sky-high.

What makes Hachiman more happy is that the vast majority of netizens are happy that Hachiman can get such a high remuneration. A few people are worried that Hachiman's remuneration is too high and will affect the filming. Not a single comment thinks that he is not worthy of the price.

"Teacher Hachiman has proven with actual results that the scripts he writes can become masterpieces! It is useless to say anything else. If someone can write a TV series script with higher ratings than "Furuhata Rensaburo" now, he will also Worth the price.”

"Whether it's [-] million, [-] million, or even [-] billion, I believe other TV stations are willing to contribute, but it's a pity that NHK has already taken the lead. So what if they have more money?"

"I think that the current entertainment industry should improve the treatment of creators. Under heavy rewards, there must be brave men."

Before Hikigaya Hachiman, netizens had never realized that the salary of a screenwriter could be so high.

However, there are still a small number of people in the industry who insist that the popularity of "Furuhata Jinsaburo" is temporary.

This is because on October 24, the ratings of the fourth episode of the show dropped to "only" 24.3%, which was nearly 3 percentage points less than the third episode.Many practitioners from other TV stations were ecstatic after learning the news. They were so happy that they forgot that 24.3% was a Waterloo figure for "Furuhata Jinsaburo" and a height that they could not reach in their lifetime of hard work. .

However, on October 31st, fate played a huge joke on those who were waiting to see the ratings of "Furuhata Jinsaburo" continue to decline.

The fifth episode aired today, the theme is a story about shogi, and the guest artist is a famous manga actor.Such a not-so-popular theme, coupled with the combination of a cross-border artist, actually hit super data that night with an average ratings of 29.4% and an instant highest rating of 35.1%. (In real history, the ratings of this episode did rebound sharply compared to the fourth episode)

In the Japanese TV drama industry, the last single episode to reach this number can be traced directly back to a medical TV drama ten years ago.

As soon as this number came out, not only the competitors, but also the NHK TV station were confused.Minister Fukunaga personally called the video research company many times to confirm the accuracy of the data, and the statistics company had to calculate the data again, which delayed the release of the ratings that day.

All in all, as soon as this number came out, no one from any company dared to come out and make adverse remarks.They were afraid that if they continued talking, the ratings of this TV series would exceed 30%.They are now beginning to seriously discuss in private whether they can send someone to sneak into the NHK headquarters and steal the script of "Furuhata Jinsaburo".
