I am a writer in Tokyo

Chapter 229 Chill
"Just because she's Mr. Xiaoyuan's student doesn't mean we should give her the best seat." A guest said while looking at the TV hanging on the wall in the pub.

Then he suddenly realized that the surroundings had become quiet. He felt that the attention on him was a little too focused, and he felt as if he was being pricked in the back.

So he looked up and found that everyone in the tavern was staring at him without saying a word. He swallowed his saliva, changed his sitting posture to make himself look more friendly, and then laughed awkwardly: "He writes well, so he deserves this position. There is no nepotism, so those people who are talking can use their brains a little, or read the article before speaking."

When they heard that they were friendly forces, everyone stopped talking and the originally tense atmosphere suddenly relaxed.

After sensing the change in the atmosphere in the tavern, the original guest who had been speaking let out a long breath and lamented that the world was a dangerous place.

In recent years, people's lives have been difficult and depressing due to the overall environmental problems. It is precisely because of this difficulty and depression that everyone's hostility has become increasingly serious, to the point that they will fight over a trivial matter. Therefore, the crime rate in Japan, especially in several key cities, has remained high during this period.

Those police officers who ride bicycles are busy all day long, and they pedal their bicycles until they are exhausted. They simply do not have time to deal with the cases that pop up one after another.

Seeing that everyone had stopped talking, Boss Ito poked his head out from the oven, stuck a palm-leaf fan behind his head, and said in his unique loud voice: "What does this prove? This proves that there will be writers in our tavern."

Writer.

He repeated these two words, a little excited. Because of this incident, the Ito family's tavern had the feeling of becoming a century-old store. At least the opening of the reservation system proved that he was not short of business at all.

"No one gets on the front page right from the start." A drinker suddenly said, holding the latest issue of a trendy magazine in his hand.

He was not afraid of the atmosphere in the tavern that only Xiaoyuan Yishu was the leader of the literary world. He had just had a few drinks, so he didn't mind arguing with this group of drunkards who only knew how to drink and had no idea what literature was.

"I know you."

Another guest suddenly spoke up, stopping the group of drunkards who stood up and rolled up their sleeves to "argue".

"If I remember correctly, you should be the editor of Bungeishunju." He then quickly added: "I saw you hanging out at Shincho before."

"Bungei Shunju?" Boss Ito asked the answer that the drunkards wanted to know.

"The hostile forces of the new trend." He conquered all the drunkards present with a very simple explanation.

So, the atmosphere changed all of a sudden.

Those who originally only wanted to intimidate or really wanted to debate changed their eyes when they looked at that guy.

Maybe someone would go deep into the tiger's den to gather information, but no one would ever dance in a spring.

The atmosphere in the pub suddenly became very hot.

"How hostile are they?"

Boss Ito asked again. He didn't really want to have a conflict in his own tavern as it would not be good for his reputation. Besides, dining is by reservation only and everyone who comes is a guest and a sponsor.

"Hmm..." He thought for a moment: "Those rumors about Mr. Xiaoyuan were probably made up by them."

All of a sudden, Boss Ito no longer cared that his tavern had become the main battlefield.

Seeing this, the man ran away with his head in his hands.

At the same time, Oshima Kazuya pushed the door open and saw everyone staring at him. He was stunned for a moment: "I'm sorry? What happened?"

"nothing."

The tavern returned to its normal state.

Naturally, when a new trendy journal is released, there will be many people lining up to buy it, and when a newcomer occupies the front page, there will be more people coming to watch the fun than ever before.

The people at Bungeishunju laughed at Shincho for using such despicable means to promote and sell their journal, but out of curiosity, they still bought a lot.

"It doesn't seem reasonable to make a big announcement at this time."

The reader looked at the big words on the front page: "If you want to suit the situation, it would be better to put it before the title. This will make the trendy editor appear unprofessional." Then he moved his eyes downwards and saw the editor-in-chief, Kazuya Oshima, and stopped talking.

This editor is also the editor-in-charge of Xiaoyuan Yishu, so his professionalism should not be too bad.

Sometimes some abnormal things do not mean that there is something wrong with them, but more likely that there is something wrong with the article.

Curiosity made them willing to spend more time to get to know this little guy who debuted under the name of Koin Yishu's student.

As it turns out, those who associate with geniuses will also become geniuses, to an extent that is hard to reach.

The weather was not very cold but slightly warm, so they chose to stand on the roadside and finish reading this not very long article. Then they felt a little bit of coolness, perhaps because the words in the article brought them back to a few months ago, when everyone was looking forward to the New Year.

The Chinese New Year should be something that people always look forward to.

Because they all firmly believe in one thing, that is, all the bad things will disappear at this point in time and be taken away by the old time, and they will welcome a brand new future, and the coming year will definitely be better.

Maybe this is the meaning that Earth civilization came up with to celebrate the fact that their planet has revolved around the star, but it has to be said that this is a kind of self-salvation, and I hope it is more of a gift from oneself.

However, after they read this article, they found that some people were not looking forward to the Chinese New Year.

They fear the future, but also the past. They live in fear and panic, and time is just torture to them.

At this moment, they suddenly remembered what Xiaoyuan Yishu said before: If you want to punish someone, it is not to let him die, but to let him live, because the world is the real purgatory.

At that time, they did not quite understand the meaning of what Xiaoyuan Yishu said, but now, looking at this book, in this warm mid-spring season, they actually felt a chill all over their bodies.

And then, they realized one thing.

That is, compared to the gentle place of Xiaoyuan Yishu, his students seem to be better at throwing knives.
