Stand-In Messenger of the Everyday World

Of course, Shunsuke Fujii knew what Hiiragi Suzuna was surprised about, so in her eyes as if she was looking at God, she took out the original manuscript of "Norwegian Forest"...half: "Although there is only half of it now, I am confident that it will definitely surpass Akutagawa's level."

In the previous life, Haruki Murakami missed the Akutagawa Award in his life. It was not that he was not good enough, but that when he was a newcomer, the judges had limited vision and were not enough to become a Bole. When he wrote "Norwegian Forest", he had already become a popular writer. As a big man in the literary world, it is not easy for him to compete for the Akutagawa Award. After all, it is really a shame for such a big man to compete with newcomers.

After all Wen copied someone else's work, Fujii Shunsuke thought hypocritically in his heart: Now that he has traveled to this world, then I will fulfill your dream for you and give "Norwegian Wood" the honor it deserves.

It's definitely not that I want to be a blockbuster!

Hiiragi Suzuna's pupils were shocked, knowing the character of Fujii Shunsuke, she could hear the confidence in his words, only half of it had the confidence to point the sword at Akutagawa Sho, and her heart couldn't help but get excited.

"Hey, let's see."

Fujii Shunsuke slapped Hiiragi Suzuna's face with the manuscript, but Hiiragi Suzuna didn't care at all. In her opinion, it was fun, and it was much smaller than Natsuno Kirihime who kept cutting her clothes, tied herself up and whipped her.

"However, Mr. Fujii, since you want to challenge the Akutagawa Award, then my request is different."

As a professional editor, Hiiragi Suzuna distinguishes the standards of popular literature and pure literature very clearly. For popular literature, she looks at whether the plot is interesting, whether the characters are amazing, and mainly depends on commercial value; but for pure literature, her requirements are very high, which cannot be satisfied by ordinary people.

"Relax though, I guarantee it will bring you to your knees and beg me to keep writing."

......

"Teacher Fujii, please finish this book!" Hiiragi Suzuna knelt on the ground, with a flush of enthusiasm that seemed to have gone, and tightly hugged Fujii Shunsuke's thigh, "If you have any requests or need help, just ask, I am willing to do anything!"

"Are you willing to do anything?"

Fujii Shunsuke pulled out his right foot and his toes were all fucked.

"Gods and demons are willing!" Hiiragi Suzuna didn't hide or dodge, even though she was sick and couldn't speak clearly, she still resolutely said it.

But then, she showed a embarrassed expression: "But for Akutagawa Shang, it is difficult for me to intervene in my current position."

This was already expected by Fujii Shunsuke. Even if Hiiragi Suzuna has such a great network as an editor, it is still a bit of a fantasy to interfere in the selection of the Akutagawa Award, but——

"I remember Suzuki, you should have a direct promotion spot for the Literature and Art Awards."

The Literary Award is a literary award established by Kaide Shobo Shinsha, a Japanese publishing house. It is selected once a year. Its purpose is also to select new writers. At the same time, since 2000, there has been a tendency for middle and high school students to win awards frequently. It can be said that it is the most friendly award for capable newcomers.

Both are awards mainly for newcomers, so it is no wonder that the Literature and Art Award is also known as the "cradle of the Akutagawa Award". Super newcomers who have won the Literature and Art Award can often win the Akutagawa Award within a year or two.

And Shunsuke Fujii is confident enough to win the Akutagawa Award in the first half of the year after winning the Arts Award for the quality of "Norwegian Forest".

Hiiragi Suzuna also reacted at this time, panting heavily with "humchi" "humchi", showing an expression of excitement.

"However, I seem to have encountered a bottleneck when I write this." Fujii Shunsuke showed a embarrassed expression.

"Bottleneck? Where? What kind of bottleneck, tell me and I will help you get over it!"

"Suzuki, you should also know that I haven't had a girlfriend yet, and I'm still a virgin."

"Um, indeed, from this point of view, Fujii-sensei, you are the same as Akiyama-sensei. You have never had a boyfriend or girlfriend despite being so good. It is very strange and regrettable."

"So whenever I write this kind of plot, I will feel a sense of stagnation. Although relying on imagination and instinct, I finally passed the plot with Naoko for the first time, but I no longer feel that handy. It was painful to write, like squeezing toothpaste, until now, Reiko and Naoko... mainly Reiko, Reiko is 30 years old, I really can’t write any more.”

"How...how can this be!"

Hiiragi Suzuna looked as if the sky was falling, and hurriedly flipped through the manuscript, muttering like a demon: "Naoko, Naoko, Reiko, Naoko, Reiko, Reiko..."

"Ah, I understand!" After watching the related plots of the two of them again, Suzuna Hiiragi had a bottom line in her heart, "Mr. Fujii, I am almost 30 years old now, so you can use me to your heart's content."

What does Fujii Shunsuke want to do, does Hiiragi Suzuna not know?

She knows it all too well.

But is this the most important thing?

Not important at all!

As Suzuna Hiiragi who regards editing as her life's work, if this is the only way to stimulate the other party's inspiration, how can she refuse as an excellent editor?

Give me to cooperate well and dedicate myself to literature!

Life hangs in the balance, this is my editorial!

Looking at Suzuna Hiiragi, who was ready to devote herself to literature, exuding a unique charm, Shunsuke Fujii couldn't bear it any longer, and fulfilled her editorial path.

.........

(Above 2000 words omitted)

In the early morning of the next morning, Fujii Shunsuke sat at the desk, with his left hand hanging below his body, and his right hand controlled Platinum Star to write quickly.

Under the desk, a shadow swayed, and Hiiragi Suzuna cleaned up meticulously.

An hour later, with a long sigh, Fujii Shunsuke lazily leaned back on the chair, and passed the finished manuscript under him.

"Stop it first, remember it, and when I need inspiration in the future, I will do it."

"Howard."

Hiiragi Suzuna answered vaguely.

35. Nishio Restoration, debut in a dignified way (Modified)

35. Nishio Restoration, debut in a dignified way (Modified)

Looking at Hiiragi Suzuna who didn't even go to the toilet, just knelt on the spot and read the manuscript eagerly, Fujii Shunsuke couldn't help admiring.

Last night, I was tossing very late. Kujo Jotaro’s physical fitness and so far’s patience, the same inexperienced Hiiragi Suzuna endured all of it, not to mention, I got up early the next morning to serve, and I was sitting and cleaning for an hour, so I still have the energy to review manuscripts...

How can he not admire such a dedicated editor? I hope that I will meet this kind of editor in the future.

But admiration is nothing but admiration. After thinking about the problem from the perspective of a sage, Fujii Shunsuke regretted that he lost his passion so easily.

Is it really okay to hand over such a commemorative thing so easily? It's better to give it to the trade partner.

It should be Mai-san, Mashiro, or Megumi, Sagiri... No, Sagiri is fine.

But Fujii Shunsuke also knows that if he does it again, it will probably be like this again. After all, he has feelings for Mashiro and others, and he doesn't want to be so hasty. Same.

It still seems hypocritical, but Fujii Shunsuke knows that he is such a person, and he will grow into a sea king visible to the naked eye in the future, but he accepts this kind of himself and doesn't want to change it.

Maybe it's about reconciling with yourself. (not)

After preparing breakfast, Hiiragi Suzuna finally finished reading the manuscript, and was lying on the ground with a satisfied face.

"Suzuki, I'm not playing now, let's have breakfast."

Looking at Hiiragi Suzuna, Fujii Shunsuke patted it and said.

"Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr"

The sound of swallowing food continued, and after a while, Hiiragi Suzuna took a deep breath and said, "Sorry, Gou Xiujinsa, I don't seem to feel my legs now, and I can't get up."

"Ah? You didn't say it earlier, and you still show this expression, it's easy to be misunderstood, okay?"

Fujii Shunsuke quickly turned her over and helped her move her knee.

He also played too much, forgetting that Hiiragi Suzuna is also inexperienced, kneeling for an hour in a row, even a person from Sakurajima could hardly do it, his knees were stiff.

However, Hiiragi Suzuna felt nothing, and instead retorted: "Of course I am not satisfied when I see such a work. It is strange that I am not satisfied."

"More satisfied than yesterday?" Fujii Shunsuke asked dissatisfiedly.

"Of course."

Hiiragi Suzuna had a surprised expression of how this could not be compared.

Fujii Shunsuke laughed angrily, nodded and smiled and said, "Okay, okay, it seems that I was inexperienced yesterday, please look forward to the next time."

Hiiragi Suzuna lifted strands of her hair, her smile full of temptation: "No problem, but at that time, I hope Gou Xiujin Sama will bring the original manuscript."

"Good guy..."

After the two had another friendly exchange, Fujii Shunsuke added some ingredients to Hiiragi Suzuna's breakfast.

At the dinner table, Fujii Shunsuke suddenly asked: ""Norwegian Wood", can I publish it under a different pseudonym?"

As expected of a professional editor, Hiiragi Suzuna understood Fujii Shunsuke's thoughts in an instant: "Should we separate it from light novels?"

Fujii Shunsuke nodded: "That's right, even though I have put my heart into it, the style of light novels from different worlds is still too low. Putting them together with "Norwegian Forest" will still look low, which is not suitable for me in traditional literature. development, so I think those novels that are too commercialized will be placed under the name Fujii.”

Fujii, this is Shunsuke Fujii's original pen name, highlighting the fact that he was too lazy to think of a name.

Hiiragi Suzuna agreed after thinking about it. After all, opening a vest is a tradition of literati, so you must try it.

"Then what name is the new pseudonym Fujii-sensei going to choose, don't have another Shunsuke." Hiiragi Suzuna joked.

"Don't call me Mr. Fujii now, just call me Shunsuke."

"Daba, this is my obsession as an editor."

Seeing that Shunsuke Fujii couldn't be persuaded, he stopped talking. He lay on the chair and looked up at the sky. He was really not good at picking names, so why not just call him Haruki Murakami?

Forget it, let's call it Nishio Ishin, or the name is more interesting.

"Nishio Isin? How to pronounce it. NISIOISIN? Not bad, this name is much better than the previous one." Hiiragi Suzuna was very satisfied.

"Then you didn't stop me before."

Fujii Shunsuke glared at her, and now he was ashamed of using his surname as a pseudonym.

Secondary illness may really be related to age, and by that time, you will more or less get sick.

Hiiragi Suzuna spread his hand: "No matter how strict our editors are, we won't even have to dictate the author's pen name."

"Forget it, it's about time, Suzuna, I'll leave it to you for the manuscript fee."

"Mr. Fujii, don't worry." Hiiragi Suzuna showed a charming smile, "Based on the relationship between us, I'm afraid it is rare between editors and authors. I will try my best to get you a good treatment."

"If there is no accident, each manuscript of "Norwegian Forest" will be set at 15000 yen, and the royalty will be about 10 points."

"The manuscript fee can be lower, 10000 yen is enough, but you can help me fight for more royalties Suzuka."

"Mr. Fujii, this is not a light novel. In traditional literature, the manuscript fee is the big one. It is rare for a million copies to be sold." Hiiragi Suzuna said euphemistically.

Even if she is very optimistic about "Norwegian Wood", there are only a handful of traditional novels that have sold more than one million, and each of them is an established writer, which is not something newcomers who have no accumulation can do.

Of course, if it was released under Mr. Fujii's name, it would definitely sell a little more, but this was denied from the very beginning.

Fujii Shunsuke couldn't explain it either, so he could only continue: "I have great confidence in "Norwegian Wood"."

"Okay then, who is Mr. Fujii, you are the one who decides."

"There is also "Monogatari". I plan to write it as a long-form series. After the success of "Norwegian Forest", it will be released as Nishio Isin's work. Suzuna, please help me manage it."

"Are you selling commercialized novels as traditional literature, or is it a long-form series, Mr. Fujii, you will really cause trouble to others."

"Suzuka, you can do what you say."

"If 'Norwegian Wood' is a hit."

"That's all right. When it's done, I'll write another book that's not inferior to "Norwegian Wood."

Although the two have had the closest relationship now, Fujii Shunsuke knows that it is still just a transaction. Although he is in the lead, there is also a need for Hiiragi Suzuna, and this demand is a good work.

36. Make Platinum Star Great Again

"One more thing, can I advance part of the manuscript fee now, I want to buy a new house."

With yesterday's experience, Fujii Shunsuke felt that the current situation was too restrictive, and he definitely couldn't do it at Mrs. Izumi's house, but at his own house, who knew when "father" would come back.

"Mr. Fujii, let's talk about everything else you have."

Hiiragi Suzuna covered her face, did she catch herself alone? Do you really think that I am the head of the department and the leader of the club?

Fujii Shunsuke scratched his cheek: "No, this is really the last thing."

Hiiragi Suzuna sighed: "Of course the manuscript fee can be paid to you immediately, but Mr. Fujii, what you want to pay in advance is part of the royalties. Although there are such precedents in the club, it is mainly to support authors who are in urgent need of money. Most of them are It's the kind that the family is almost unable to uncover, and with Mr. Fujii's conditions and needs, this request is impossible to pass."

"And compared to this part of the royalties, Mr. Fujii, didn't you earn more money in the past? If you want to buy a suite, as long as you don't live in places like Ginza, you should be fine."

"Part of the money was used to improve life, and most of the rest was invested. It will be difficult to turn around for a while, and the remaining money is still short." Fujii Shunsuke spread his hands.

"Hey, let's do this, Mr. Fujii, see how much you still lack. I will help you make up for this part first, and then pay me back when the royalties come down."

"Lingcai, are you not afraid that I won't pay back the money?"

Hiiragi Suzuna smiled: "In that case, I will be treated as a dumb loser, and I can only ask Mr. Fujii that you will die socially in the industry."

"Is this still a dumb loss?" Fujii Shunsuke retorted casually, and then resolutely rejected the rich woman's kindness.

"It's just a bell dog, but it still wants to take care of its owner. It's 100 years too early!"

"If you dare to lend money to the master now, I don't even dare to think about what you will do in the future. This is no longer an ordinary bitch. You must punch hard!"
