Toyama Miho nodded, "I have entrusted Mrs. Akihara's assistant, Ms. Asano, to help me keep an eye on the houses near Chiyoda and Bunkyo."

Toyama Shuichi hesitated and asked: "Is the living expenses enough? If you need it, the family can help you."

Toyama Miho shook her head, "I am already very grateful that my family can help me pay for my tuition. As for the living expenses, I plan to bear them myself."

"Then why don't you live in the dormitory?" Shuichi Toyama continued to ask.

Toyama Miho explained: "In addition to the fact that the dormitory is more expensive, I hope that the place where I live can be closer to the master, so that I can often go there to ask for advice."

Yuan Shanxiu nodded, he didn't have much objection to this point.

Not only is it difficult to apply for a dormitory at a university in Tokyo, but the cost is also not cost-effective compared to renting a house.In fact, for these two reasons, many people choose to rent a house by themselves.

But he was still a little worried, and asked, "Miho-chan, you haven't had any jobs before, have you? Will there be any problems?"

Toyama Miho shook her head: "Father, I plan to see if I can maintain my living expenses by submitting articles. If not, I will ask Mr. Akihara for help to see if there is any work related to literature."

Yuan Shanxiu sighed in his heart, he knew that his daughter had already made up his mind to earn living expenses by herself, even if he tried to persuade her, it would be of no avail.

However, he also understood why his daughter attached so much importance to this modern reasoning literature newcomer award.

After all, for new writers, whether they have award-winning experience or not has a great impact on whether they can succeed in subsequent submissions.

Although these problems can be solved through Mr. Akihara's relationship, but this daughter of mine is very independent and self-reliant, so she probably doesn't want to cause too much trouble for her.

It's just that when he thinks that his daughter is about to leave him to go to another place, and maybe only see him once every half a year, Yuan Shanxiu feels an indescribable feeling in his heart.

Forget it, just sell your old face and let Teacher Qiuyuan take care of her more!

……

While Shuichi Toyama was thinking about how to ask Hiroto Akihara, Okinawa Masakazu walked out of the post office with a gloomy face.Just now, he sent one of his manuscripts to the "Modern Reasoning Literature New Talent Award Jury".

After leaving the post office, he quickly returned to his home.When he opened the door, his mother Oguan Nazuko said with a smile on her face: "Masakazu-kun, what do you want for dinner, I'll make it for you."

Da Guanzhenghe put his hands in his trouser pockets, and replied indifferently: "Whatever you want."

Otsuki Nazuko still smiled and said, "Then the medaka dish?"

Daguan Zhenghe nodded, ignored it, and continued to walk upstairs. When he was halfway there, he heard his mother's words from a distance, "I forgot to tell you, the small room editor is already waiting for you in your room."

Okinawa Masakazu paused for a moment, then continued to walk up and came to his room.

After pushing open the door, he saw the visitor in a gray suit - Ryo Komuro, the editor of "Tokyo Youth".

When Komuro saw Masakazu Otsuru, he asked politely, "Mr. Oguan, have you finished writing the latest manuscript?"

Daguan Masakazu nodded, turned around and took out a stack of manuscript paper from a drawer, and handed it to Komuro Ryo, "According to your request, this issue still refers to the human nature of "Furuhata Rensaburo."

Komuro took the manuscript paper, counted the pages carefully, and put it in the briefcase.

Immediately afterwards, he took out an envelope and handed it to Daguan Zhenghe, "This is the remuneration from the previous period, please."

Daguan Masakazu didn't say anything extra, just took the envelope, opened it and counted it.

Seeing the awkward atmosphere between the two, Xiaoshiliang tried to strike up a conversation: "To be honest, your mother is really kind to you."

Da Guanzhenghe sneered, "That's when I can give my family the best."

"Impossible," Ryo Komuro said hesitantly, trying to explain to the young writer—although the other party is a shadow writer, as an editor, he still has the obligation to bring the relationship between the two closer.

Okinawa Masakazu said in a disdainful tone.

"At the beginning, I didn't win the Newcomer Award for Mystery Literature, which caused her to lose face among relatives and friends. She wished she could drive me out of the house. During that time, she didn't even cook for me, and only left me money for instant noodles. Mother, how good do you think it can be?"

Ryo Komuro tried to persuade her again, "But it's all in the past, isn't it, and she still supports you to continue the path of literary creation."

The sarcasm on Masakazu Okinawa's face became more serious, "Editor Xiaoshi, if someone burns all the manuscripts you have worked so hard to write, do you think she is still supporting your literary creation?"

Xiao Shiliang showed an embarrassed expression, and didn't know what to say for a while.

After a while, he stood up voluntarily, found a reason and left.

Da Guanzhenghe watched his leaving back without saying a word, but his eyes became colder and colder.

In his opinion, this Ryo Komuro was also one of the people who had ill intentions for him.

Although the other party let him become a shadow writer, he successfully helped him solve the difficulties in life.But the matter of the shadow writer has also become an obstacle to his future normal literary creation.

If there is no accident, once you want to end the cooperation, the first person who jumps out to object may be the other party!

And since this period of time, I can vaguely feel that someone seems to be spying on my going out.No matter how you look at it, he can only be the most motivated.

After all, once they get their hands on it, "Tokyo Youth" can threaten themselves to be a shadow writer all the time!

Daguan Masakazu clenched his fist and made up his mind.

I can't be at the mercy of them all the time, I must get rid of the current situation! !

[Chapter 220.219 "Duet of Death"]

The time soon came to mid-March, and after the first screening of the submitted manuscripts, the judging committee for the Modern Mystery Literature New Talent Award called again, inviting Hiroto Akihara to go to the relevant workplace.

After receiving the invitation, Hiroto Akihara voluntarily turned down other jobs, and then took a special car to the place designated by the other party - this special car is owned by the foundation and is worth 800 million yen. In order to avoid tax reasonably, he even hired a special car driver.

After achieving the goal, the docking staff took the initiative to say: "Mr. Qiuyuan, you have worked hard."

Then he was ushered into a conference room.

In the conference room, he met the other four judges, namely Wada Nobu, Morioka Yuho, Takata Tomohisa, and Seto Yuzhi.

After a while, a white-haired man who claimed to be the "editor-in-chief" walked into the meeting room and presided over the review meeting.

After some official clichés and pleasantries.The white-haired man asked the staff to distribute the shortlisted manuscripts to five people on the field - because of the blind review, these manuscripts did not contain the author's name.

"Teachers, these two manuscripts are the last two works we selected, please have a look."

Hiroto Akihara, who was sitting at the outermost edge of the conference table, said "thank you" when he was the last one to receive the manuscript. After that, he looked down at the names of the next two manuscripts.

As he expected, Miho Toyama's "Dead Mother" was successfully shortlisted.In addition, another shortlisted work is called "Duet of Death".

Regarding the former, Hiroto Akihara just flipped through it a little bit. After all, he had already read it several times, so there was no need to read it carefully.

On the contrary, regarding the "Duet of Death", Hiroto Akihara decided to read it carefully.

After all, I have already promised Chairman Kawai that I will execute my vote in a fair position. If this work is more exciting, he will still vote for the other party.

Even though he thinks so, he feels that such a small award is unlikely to have many wonderful works.

But when he looked at it, he realized that he had guessed completely wrong.
