Chapter 333 I'm Really Distressed Who Should I Vote For?

Before Hojo Kyosuke had time to look around, he saw Miss Amamiya, who had been entertaining him just now, appeared behind the master of ceremonies on the left side of the ceremony stage at some point.

She is close to 1.7 meters tall, wearing a silver lady's slim suit, standing behind the tall ceremonial platform, she looks even taller.With a dignified expression on his face, he seemed to be the host.

"Miss Yugong is the master of ceremonies?" He asked strangely to the two people who had already arrived.

"You don't know? I still want to ask you, why did Amamiya-san, who is the master of ceremonies, come with you so late." Wancheng Yaji replied.

"Hmph, Wancheng-san, it seems that you don't have a deep enough understanding of the legend of "Heisei Merry"," Aisaka said with a sneer.

Shaking his head, Hojo Kyosuke didn't chat with the three of them anymore, but took a little look at the steps of the venue before the ceremony started.

In the dim environment, the most conspicuous thing was indeed the square thing covered by the golden silk cloth on the ceremony stage.Those present here, even if they are not the author, are sure to imagine that the moment they lift off the golden silk cloth, they can see their own works underneath.

Hojo Kyosuke was no exception. The two-meter-high golden silk cloth dyed his black pupils brightly, as if some hidden bloodline had been opened.

Aisaka Gang, who was about to say something nonsense, couldn't help shaking his shoulders when he looked at those glittering golden eyes.

Thank you, Bestseller, I will let your name also be heard in this world.

Apart from the glittering golden ceremony stage, the only place illuminated by spotlights is a long table on the left.

On it are the ten works shortlisted for the Motoya Grand Prize. Behind each book is a cardboard with a different style, on which are the comments written by the bookstore clerks.

As a scanning eye, Hojo Kyosuke can naturally see his own books and comments clearly.

The cardboard itself is white, and in the middle is a comment written with a black signature pen. The handwriting is beautiful, and it can be seen from the words that the owner is a beautiful woman.

It wasn't that someone suddenly became artistic, but that he recognized Miki Amamiya's handwriting. He had seen it when he held a book signing at Kinokuniya last time.

"It's great, the comment card written by Amamiya-san."

A ghostly word floated beside him.

"Yes, very attentive."

White cardboard, decorated with pink strokes on the edge, green grass, and even a cute rabbit.

It really doesn't match that grim comment.

"Tsk tsk, I vaguely remember that when I came to the reception before, Ms. Amamiya said that she would help me write comments, but today she helped decorate the jammed paper."

Ghost Aisaka just said.

While they were talking, they saw a person walking towards the ceremony platform in front of them, placed a stand microphone in the middle of the edge of the platform, and then retreated silently, squatting in a dark corner.

The position of the microphone was like a signal, and the voices in the venue disappeared without a trace like a swarm of bees.

The ceremony is about to begin.

The already dim light slowed down at a slow pace, and at the same time the clear bell rang. The benefit of this change was that the huge screen was dazzlingly bright for a moment.

When the whole space became pitch black, only the huge white words "2015 Honya Awards" could be seen on the screen.The passionate percussion music suddenly sounded, and the pictures on the screen shattered into small squares one by one, and even the screen became pitch black.

Just when Hojo Kyosuke was looking forward to what the screen would look like, as the small squares gathered, it returned to its original shape exactly the same.

Understood, it’s still the damn sense of ritual, I remind you again, the Motoya Grand Prize presentation is about to start, keep your eyes wide open and your ears pricked up to concentrate!

The yellow ambient light on the ceremony stage was turned on again, and at the same time a white spotlight hit the emcee Amamiya Weixi.

"Mina-san, everyone is welcome to come here and participate in the 2015 Motoya Grand Prize Presentation, which is selected by bookstore clerks all over the country to sell the most books."

Yugong Weixi's voice is softer than before, even if the soft voice is amplified by the stereo, it still won't make the audience below feel harsh.

"I am the host of this presentation, Miki Amamiya of the Executive Committee of the Motoya Awards, please give me your advice."

The makeup of the woman on the stage was perfect, and she was not timid even under the test of the spotlight. After finishing her opening remarks and self-introduction, she paused slightly, and waited for the applause from the audience before smiling and nodding to express her thanks.

"Then, this award can be successfully held. First of all, I would like to thank the bookstore staff all over the country for their hard work. During the selection process, I discovered interesting books with everyone and was moved and excited by the stories in the books. meaning of this activity.

It is really a happy thing for a bookstore clerk to share these excellent works with everyone through such a place.

Everyone in the executive committee is also very happy to hold such an event that is beneficial to the development of literature. "

Hojo Kyosuke, like the people around him, leaned against the back of his chair and looked at the stage, listening to the opening speech quietly.

"spotlight"

Although he knew that Yugong Weixi was a very beautiful and outstanding woman, he didn't expect her to become so shining in the spotlight.This made him even more eager to take the girls around him to the stage and enjoy the attention of everyone.

As for what Yugong Weixi said, although it was a very official statement, he somewhat agreed with it in his heart.

Not to mention the bookstore clerk, even if you are an ordinary person, when you see a book you like and are moved by the book moment by moment, no matter who you are, you have a strong desire to share and long for stories that warm your heart. It can also shed a ray of sunshine in the lives of others.

But now, as bookstore clerks, they can not only introduce their favorite books to everyone in this way, but also use their own strength to win honor for their favorite books.

Hojo Kyosuke, who has always been ignorant of some confusing behaviors on the Internet, suddenly has a little bit of agreement with those seemingly incomprehensible behaviors of sand sculptures.

Of course, the premise is that they like their own works.

Thinking wildly in his head, he turned his head and glanced at Ishida Hidenori, and by coincidence, that person also turned his head.It was amazing that Kyosuke Hojo saw colorful brilliance on the other party's very artistic face, as if he had eaten unfamiliar wild mushrooms.

That's right, at times like this, only the winners have the time to think about it. Others, such as Aisaka Gang who is clenching his fists next to him, are probably thinking fiercely in their hearts that they must win the prize next year.

Nodding to Hidenori Ishida again, Hojo Kyosuke thought that the "winner" should show his demeanor this time, but he didn't expect the other party to raise his chin with the triangular mustache again.

Well, I'll send my men to keep an eye on you at night so you won't cause trouble for Tokyo Metro Co., Ltd. I'm still waiting for their sponsorship for the next manga.

Someone shows off the victor's spareness without hesitation.

The picture on the screen finally changed at this time, and the process of the conference was simply listed.

"The first item is the speech of the chairman of the current executive committee, and the second item is the No. 1 commendation of the translated novel department..." Amamiya Weixi introduced, the real focus is naturally placed at the end, the finale.

"Then, I invite the chairman of the committee, Mr. Shigeru Hamamoto."

Wearing a black suit, Shigeru Hamamoto walked out from the small door on the right side of the ceremony stage, and the person who placed the microphone before appeared quietly again, silently adjusting the microphone to a suitable height.

Nice, so you don't need to shake hands on the microphone once for every speaker.Hojo Kyosuke thought silently.

"Hi everyone, I am Shigeru Hamamoto, chairman of the committee, thank you for coming..."

Shigeru Hamamoto's speech was a bit worse than Miki Amamiya's. He spoke as if he didn't have a speech script, and it was as casual as a normal chat. The grand prize should look like.

"There were a lot of excellent works last year, but unfortunately only ten were shortlisted. If possible, I think every bookstore clerk would have a dozen or even dozens of books to recommend to everyone. Of course, just like people's Energy is limited, it is impossible for us to absorb all excellent works into our brains, we can only choose selectively.

This is also the original intention of the Honya Awards. Bookstore clerks who are in contact with books every day select the books they most want to sell and recommend to customers.

I have carefully read the ten works of this year, and it is a bit embarrassing to say that, when I read the first prize work, I couldn't help crying and soaked the pages of the book.

It's really a very touching work, impressive, and I can't help but read it again and again.

... We have always believed that the progress of literature cannot be separated from life, and that reading is a matter for the public, and no threshold should be set. Therefore, we have been implementing this purpose and selecting books suitable for the public based on the taste of the public.

...Finally, I would like to thank the bookstore clerks across the country for their hard work, and please give me your advice in the coming year. "

After finishing speaking, Shigeru Hamamoto took a step back, bowed fifteen degrees, and left without stopping.

"Thanks to Mr. Shigeru Hamamoto for his speech, next is No.2015 in the translated novel department in 1..."

The Honya Grand Prize not only selects novels newly published last year, but also selects the most popular translated novels, and excavates novels from the past years, and selects books that they think will be interesting to read now.

It is worth mentioning that many of the novels selected by the translation department come from the big country next door.

The excavation department is also very interesting. The books they selected are not called the first prize, nor the grand prize, but "super!Discover this! ’, therefore, there are always people who think that the neon people are in the second class, but they don’t know that it is their unique serious way.

The most meaningful link may be the speeches given by the clerk who discovered the award-winning works.

One can imagine how excited the bookstore clerk would be if his favorite book won such an award, and he could hand over the trophy representing honor to his favorite author face to face.

When the clerk of Super Discovery Bena gave her speech, Kyosuke Hojo had already seen the tears in her eyes. After the author who looked at least very similar to Dr. Ari came to the stage, she choked up and choked up. There was also warm applause.

Later, when the author himself was speaking, the clerk couldn't control his eyes, and frequently drifted over there.

Of course, the people watching this awards ceremony are not limited to these people in the venue. The Honya Awards not only have live TV broadcasts, but it doesn’t matter if you can’t receive that TV station. Videos are available for viewing.

In a high-end apartment, Yukinoshita Yukino was watching the press conference with a huge LCD TV that had hardly been turned on at home.Of course, she didn't watch it voluntarily. She would sit in front of the TV from beginning to end, all because of the woman lying on the sofa.

"Didn't you say you were drunk and had a headache last night? Why don't you take a good rest at home today?"

Yukinoshita weighed it, compared to "why don't you watch the awards ceremony at your own home".On the contrary, this sentence is more suitable for the current occasion, because if the latter sentence is said, that sister will definitely show an embarrassing expression and say something like "Oh~ Xiaoxue Nao wants to hide and watch secretly by herself".

"Ah~~ What's the matter? Isn't it more exciting to watch Jingsuke win the award together?"

Yang Nai was wearing a white bathrobe, a pair of slender beautiful legs stretched out on the sofa unscrupulously, and her delicate feet rested on the armrest of the sofa.On the coffee table in front of her was a bottle of champagne with English characters written on it. From the mist on the bottle, it could be seen that it had just been chilled.

"Do you have nowhere else to go in Tokyo?" Yukinoshita's sitting posture was meticulous, as if she was at an awards ceremony and was illuminated by a camera spotlight.

"Cannian (regret), I haven't turned into the person Koyuki expected~"

Yang Nao smiled while hugging a huge champagne.

"Kyosuke will be on stage soon, would Xiao Xue Nao want to have a drink together?"

"I'll call the police."

"Hey~~ Heartless~"

Ignoring the older sister who was still standing in front of her house with her head covered in the morning, as if she would faint from a headache at any moment, but now she was about to use "Life Lubricant" to blur the reality, Yukinoshita stared at the screen without blinking her light blue eyes .

From the flashing picture just now, she saw Ying Liang, saw Nitro, and even saw...

And Hojo Kyosuke, although there is no spotlight, but such a person, even in the dark, is equally attractive.Because the people around him will involuntarily turn their eyes to him, which is completely the instinct of the body trained under the laws of society.

Just like the disadvantaged groups in the class always pay attention to those celebrities, not wanting to blend in with them, but to prevent themselves from having any "faux pas".

Yukinoshita glanced at the coffee table, and on it was "The Devotion of Suspect X" that her sister forcibly dug out from her room. She had read it before meeting Kyosuke Hojo, and read it three times after meeting Sakura Yamauchi .

Now, looking at Kyosuke Hojo who is about to win an award on the screen, she felt a little happiness in her heart for no reason.It's as proud as seeing the stray cats near my home gain weight.

If he was allowed to hold a book signing in Qian Jian's mother-in-law's bookstore, the small shop would also be lively.

The girl thought of this in her heart, and then she was taken aback again.

It is her dream to change the world by changing people.And isn't my thought just now what it looks like after the dream comes true?
Also watching this award ceremony is Megumi Kato.

"Hi~ hi~ I see, I'm watching it, and if I have a chance, I will take my sister and you to meet Kyosuke."

The girl in a red-and-white striped nightdress was lying on the bed, watching the live broadcast of the award ceremony with a laptop, while talking on the phone with her sister.

"Megumi, you actually use such words to perfuse my dear sister. It seems that I need to ask my mother to talk to you about staying at the boy's house a few days ago." Yoshinaga Hiromi complained on the phone.

"What boy? I stayed at Yinglili's house."

Hearing this, Kato Megumi's black eyes didn't have any waves, and his voice was as brisk as ever. He was still looking at the screen, trying to find out the location of Hojo Kyosuke.

"Hmph, do you think I don't know! The young lady of the diplomat's family is very likely to be living with Hojo Kyosuke now. In your school's forum, many people said that they saw them go to school together and go home. .”

"Hmm~ I think Hiromi-san...it's better not to surf the Internet, after all, you don't even know that Kyosuke is studying at Sobu High School, so you believe the comments on the Internet. If you look like this, brother-in-law will also be very embarrassed Yes~~"

Seeing that the awards ceremony was still before Kyosuke Hojo's appearance, Megumi Kato turned over, looked at the ceiling, and casually talked to her sister.

"Hey? Is it like this?" Yoshinaga Hiromi asked in surprise.

"Hmm~~" Kato Megumi hummed briskly from his nose.

Then I couldn't help but think of Kasumigaoka-senpai's invitation from before.

Spotlight, such a place, I really want to go and see it live.

But why would you say no?
Because, wasn't it invited by Kyosuke?
Or was it because that wasn't the story of the two of us?
……

At the scene of Fuji Hall, the awards ceremony is still going on in an orderly manner, and it has reached the most attention-getting part.

"Sah, I kept everyone waiting for a long time. Then the next item is the book that "Ichiban" (いちばん) selected by bookstore staff all over the country wants to sell."

When saying "Yiyi", Yugong Weixi raised her voice in a rare way, with an excited expression on her beautiful face;

"The announcement of the 2015 Motoya Grand Prize has officially started, and the ten shortlisted works will be introduced first.

"Memories of the Night", Gosaka Aisaka. "Two Sons Yuchuan Imp", Wancheng Yaji-san..."

Every time the MC read the title of a book, the corresponding book cover and author's name would appear on the big screen.And the people in the audience will also look at the author himself.

"Hey~~ Why haven't I arrived at Kyousuke's book yet?" Yingliang muttered softly, holding the phone in his hand all the time.Although I don't know why Auntie Meijizi hasn't responded to the message for a long time, but even for her own sake, she still has to record it well.

No one responded to her. Although they already knew the final result, Sanye and the others couldn't help being infected by the rapid music sound from the stereo, and became excited, looking forward to the announcement of the final result.

As one book after another appeared on the screen, when "14-Year-Old's End of Memories" appeared on the screen, Ishida Hidenori laughed as if he had already won an award.

"The Devotion of Suspect X, Kyosuke-san Hojo."

In the place of the last book, the name of Hojo Kyosuke appeared.

"...Among so many excellent books, trying to choose "Yiyi" is really a matter for the staff. All of us, including me, have been thinking over and over again. Whoever you vote for will not disappoint everyone’s expectations of us.”

　It's five thousand short, finish before four o'clock!
