Started with a green hat for Verlaine

In May, the "Sentimental Award" entered the final stage of review by the judges.

This time the judges are not only Aso Qiuya who coaxed his wife, Lantang who was coaxed to play, and Natsume Soseki who came after hearing the news. The three of them sat together in the same room, which can be regarded as a high-level competition for the "Sentimental Award" this time Level, after all, it was just a small game supported by the government at first.

Ma Shengqiu also reviewed the novel together with other judges.

Lantang used critical eyes to check which novel would be the work of Shibusawa Tatsuhiko.

Natsume Soseki held the mentality of watching the excitement, and was sincerely pleased with what kind of works Edogawa Ranpo, Oda Sakunosuke, and Shibusawa Tatsuhiko would write.

The Japanese literary world is lonely, what will be the result of letting these geniuses write novels?

Natsume Soseki, who has never seen Ranpo's works, maintains high expectations.In fact, he managed to avoid the nonsense novels written by a famous detective in the past. As an insider, it is difficult to expect Edogawa Ranpo's works to enter the finals. The previous novels are simply jokes.

"Oh, I saw an acquaintance."

Flipping through the printed paper novel, Ma Shengqiu suddenly smiled.

"Let me have a look." Lan Tangru had a tacit understanding, and probed in the direction of Qiu Ye.Aso Shengqiu also deliberately blocked Lan Tang's sight, and indulged in reading. The name of the novel is "Cold Sorrow", which tells the story of a third-rate killer who is about to starve to death after losing his job. The plot is interesting and full of details. The trivial things that hit the wall in the middle of the book are described to the bone.

Ma Shengqiu also said absent-mindedly: "Lantang, go and read the manuscript in your hand."

Lan Tang tasted it.

For the sake of the novel, Qiu Ye actually concealed it to tantalize people's appetite!

Could it be Shibusawa Tatsuhiko's? !

Lan Tang put away the typeface of a boring novel and went to the next one.A total of ten novels were selected for the finals, basically all short stories, and there were ten judges, all of whom were well-known editors and writers in the publishing industry. Each judge had enough time to read all the novels slowly.

Then, Lan Tang saw a short story called "Three Wife", and his eyelids twitched.

Erotic novels?

The author of this novel is very bold.

He took a peek at the other judges, making sure that everyone was looking at each other. He lowered his head to read, and the corners of his mouth curled up happily.

The novel is about a love story...

Coincidentally, Lan Tang likes to watch.

The third judge, Natsume Soseki, got an article... oh no, it was a thick novel.He looked at the others in amazement, why are all the thin ones in everyone's hands, but only me with thick ones?

Natsume Soseki secretly murmured which straight person contributed the manuscript, wrote so much, and compared others.

He went to look at the name of the novel, oh well, a "darkness", "mystery", and "Secondary Two" breath came over his face, and he judged that the person who wrote this novel must be young!

——"Black Magic Handbook".

Natsume Soseki opened the prologue of the novel, calmed down to read the content, and wrote later: "I want to disclose the secrets of magic here-although it is magic, it is not the same as the former Matsushizai Tiansheng and the recent Russian circus. The vulgar tricks performed by Mr. Keogh and his ilk are irrelevant. It is from the childhood of human beings living in caves, and their wisdom is ignorant..."

Gradually, Natsume Soseki was changed by the calmness revealed in the language of the novel.

No wonder it was able to enter the finals, which is a bit interesting.

Among the judges other than the three, someone suddenly finished reading a novel in one breath, with tears in his eyes: "It is a rare mystery novel! Since Mr. Kudo Yusaku moved to the United States to settle down, there has been no successor for mystery novels, such as But abroad, now a good seedling has finally appeared!"

Ma Shengqiu also raised his head suddenly, what, a mystery novel?

Lan Tang closed the novel with the most explosive name with a calm face, and quietly asked Qiu Ye: "Could it be Chaos? I remember that he has been writing mystery novels."

Ma Shengqiu was not too sure: "The level of Chaos...is a mystery."

Recently, Luanbu has been very diligent and hardworking, but whether he can write a good manuscript is another matter.

He rummaged through the ten novels, skipped the names of those familiar novels, and successfully came across a novel belonging to Edogawa Ranpo - "Two Coins".The story tells that the protagonist gets a two-coin copper coin, and there is a note in the crack of the copper coin. The protagonist takes this as an opportunity to solve the mystery about the theft.

Aso Qiuya also became emotional.

This is the first pioneering work of the three-dimensional Edogawa Ranpo!

Another literary giant has awakened!

For the whole day on Sunday, Aso Akiya and Lan Tang were reading books in the room where the host of the "Sentimental Award" was located. The rustling sound of turning pages appeared very slowly, because everyone was reading carefully, chewing repeatedly, and didn't want to miss it. The talents of young Japanese writers.

Natsume Soseki rubbed his eyes, finally finished reading "Black Magic Handbook", and then went to see other people, who had already finished the short story, and Qi Qi was reading the longest and most profound novel.

"Is there no limit to the number of words in the competition?" Someone else wrote a short story, but this author wrote a long story.

"No." The organizer answered him, "I only said the minimum word count requirement, so everyone's entries are basically short stories of [-] to [-] words."

"Oh, that's right." Natsume Soseki turned to the front page to see who the author of the black magic theme was.

Natsume Soseki found it interesting, the author's name is Shibukawa Ryuji.

People can't be seen.

How obsessed Bai Qilin was with these things back then.

It can be confirmed that the author of the novel is Tatsuhiko Shibusawa. Due to the request of Aso Shuya, the other party wrote the shameful black history. The content is so much that it is amazing.

Natsume Soseki cheerfully went through the remaining nine novels, and was amazed at the performance of the new generation of authors.

The old-timers in the literary world have some opinions on the rankings.

Bai Qilin is about to lose...

Not wrong to lose.

When Lantang saw the novel by the author named "Shibukawa Ryuuji", his first reaction was that this guy was too arrogant. Shuya's novel had not been officially published and publicized, and this person actually used the name of the main character in it as a pseudonym. As if afraid that others would not know his relationship with Aso Qiuya!

Those who don't know may think that Aso Akira also wrote a novel for Shibukawa Ryuuji.

Abominable, although the truth of the matter is also true.

But outsiders don't need to know!

Lan Tang resisted the idea of ​​tearing up the book, and smiled coldly, which made Ma Shengqiu beside him shudder.Asoqiu also couldn't figure it out, why did Lan Tang show signs of blackening when he encountered Shibusawa Ryuhiko's incident?Shibusawa Tatsuhiko is only two years older than Ranpo!

Ma Shengqiu also called out, "Lantang?"

Lan Tang said reservedly: "Don't worry, I will vote fairly."

The first weekend of May passed, and the ranking of the "Youth Award" competition was announced on May [-].

First prize, reasoning short story "Two Copper Coins", author: Ranpo Edogawa!

The second prize, realistic short story "Cold Sorrow", author: Oda Sakunosuke!

The third prize, absurd short story "Dr. Wind", author: An Wu!

Excellence Award, love short story "Three Wives", author: Tokutaro!

The novel "Black Magic Handbook", whose title is longer than them and whose content is longer than the sum of them multiplied by two, was so miserable that it didn't even get the top four in this competition.

Because in terms of novel fun, it loses!

It lost out to those short stories!

Shibusawa Tatsuhiko: "..."

In a fit of anger, white mist emerged, and a strange scene of fog appeared in the room.

The servant looked at the depressed Young Master Long Yan in horror, knowing that the other party stayed up all night and finally finished writing a novel, but he didn't even get a single ranking!

Shibusawa Tatsuhiko looked at the list announced on TV, as if looking at his own must-kill list.

White Qilin's Death Stare.jpg

No matter how displeased he was, he closed his eyes, suppressed his killing intent, and a trace of grievance that hadn't appeared in many years, and said, "It doesn't matter, as long as you can get No.1."

The servant was worried that Young Master Longyan was going mad, so he said anxiously: "The competition is over."

Shibusawa Tatsuhiko said indifferently: "No."

After he pressed a message sending button on his mobile phone, another message was inserted in the live news on TV: "The short story competition for the 'Sentimental Award' has come to an end, and now we are broadcasting the results of the novel competition for the 'Sentimental Award'. The first prize is "Black Magic Notes"! This novel has a novel theme and tells about "black magic". It is a rare and good work..."

The servant saw the unspeakable tricks: "..."

Shibusawa Tatsuhiko's gloomy expression improved, he turned his head to look at the scenery outside the window.

Write a novel and lose.

It does not mean that it cannot be compensated in other respects.

He is rich, powerful, powerful, and intelligent, so why should he compare his works with you guys!The experience in Yokohama made him understand a fact: Don't compare yourself with others!

The butler of the Shibusawa family came with a fruit platter and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Master Longyan."

The novel was written, the contract was signed and published successfully, and in the end the competition also won the justifiable first prize.

Rounding off is - the second apprenticeship request has been passed!

The housekeeper said again: "Master Long Yan, happy birthday."

Today is May [-]th, Tatsuhiko Shibusawa's birthday.

He wants to win, and the Shibusawa family is trying their best to let him win, only hope that he will no longer look at the world indifferently.

——Shibusawa Tatsuhiko, the unicorn that the Shibusawa family expected.

The adults on Monday were at work, and Ranpo Edogawa was so happy that he went on strike, yelling at home, waving his first-prize novel around, "Uncle Fukuzawa! I won the prize! It's the first prize!" Ahh—look! Look at what I wrote!"

Fukuzawa Yukichi had already read it twice, with a smile on his face, greatly satisfying Edogawa Ranpo.

Edogawa Ranpo was trembling with excitement.

Qiu Ye and Mr. Lantang are at work, and Zhong is also at school. The only person he can share his happiness with is Uncle Fukuzawa, otherwise he will really rush into the port mafia to find someone!

"No - I can't wait any longer, I'm going to find Chuya! He doesn't know the news yet!"

"Ranbu, Chuya-kun is in school."

"There's time after class!"

The news of the first prize for the novel that was suddenly interrupted on TV was like cold water pouring down.

Edogawa, who was about to go out, stared at the TV stiffly in Luanbu, his emerald green eyes widened. He was well protected and never thought that the society was so "dark".

No, he didn't expect Shibusawa Ryuhiko to be so shameless and underestimate the opponent's lower limit!

"This is impossible!"

The dark-haired boy jumped up and screamed.

Fukuzawa Yukichi didn't know much about the inside story, so he asked, "Is this award unreasonable?"

Ranpo Edogawa said: "The 'Sentimental Award' does not distinguish between novels and short stories!"

Fukuzawa Yukichi said impartially: "It may be that the awards were subdivided internally to give authors of novels more opportunities, but we haven't heard the news."

Edogawa Luanbu cried anxiously: "No, no! Shuya and the others are the judges!"

Fukuzawa Yukichi was surprised: "Ranpo, if it is award cheating, Mr. Shuya will not let it go. I believe that Mr. Shuya is a fair and just person."

Edogawa Ranpo pulled Fukuzawa Yukichi: "Let's ask the organizer!"

Several hours passed.

Fukuzawa Yukichi and Edogawa Ranpo received clear news that the "Sentimental Award" has added awards for novels with more than 1 words in order to encourage more authors to invest in literary creation, and there are relatively few authors who meet the requirements of the award , but No.[-] is indeed worthy of its name, and the quality is quite good.

Edogawa frowned, "Cheating! He cheated!"

The organizers were a little displeased, "Why do you say cheating? If you don't believe it, you can go to the publication of "Black Magic Handbook", and you can buy it in the bookstore today."

Edogawa rushed to the bookstore, picked up the novel, and tore open the package to read the contents.

Fukuzawa Yukichi paid for him.

Under Edogawa Ranpo's astonishing speed of flipping through, a novel was finished, and at the same time, he realized that Shibusawa Tatsuhiko's knowledge and writing level were superior to them.

What's more, this person was asked to write a propositional novel, and the subject matter was extremely limited.

Edogawa was discouraged, and looked at Fukuzawa Yukichi pitifully: "Uncle Fukuzawa...his writing is okay..."

Fukuzawa Yukichi comforted: "Don't be sad, let's celebrate your award."

Edogawa squatted down and said, "My heart is blocked."

Fukuzawa Yukichi thought for a few seconds.

The white-haired "Silver Wolf" swordsman put his hand on the top of Edogawa Ranpo's head and patted his head.

"You won beautifully this time, leaving your opponent speechless."

"...!"

Edogawa Ranpo's face flushed, and his heart was encouraged.

Super positive energy!

He flew towards Fukuzawa Yukichi, and hugged his father-in-law, "Uncle Fukuzawa is the best! He is even better than Qiu Ye!"

Fukuzawa Yukichi said calmly: "I will tell Mr. Qiuya."

Edogawa Ranpo laughed happily.

"No~."

Koyo Ozaki came to Akiya Aso's office at the port mafia headquarters, intentionally giving him a surprise: "Mr. Akiya, the work I submitted has won an award."

Ma Shengqiu replied with a smile: "It's "Three Wives"."

Koyo Ozaki said in surprise, "How do you know about the short story I submitted under a male pseudonym?"

Ma Shengqiu also said: "Because the writing style is very delicate, like a little red leaf."

He has never read the three-dimensional "Three Wives". This novel is very remote, and it is estimated that it is not very popular in the market, but as a short story that can overwhelm Shibusawa Tatsuhiko, its exquisite writing style has proved it. The origin of the story-it is definitely the first novel of the literary giant level.

the most important is--

Aso Qiu also held his chin: "The only award announced today is the 'Sentimental Award'. Among the award-winning novels, No.1 is mystery novels, No.2 is realistic novels, No.3 is absurd novels, and No.4 is love Novels, and another novel that you absolutely don’t have time to write. Judging from how well I know you, what you write should be realistic novels or romance novels. Unfortunately, I know the author of "Leng Sorrow". I knew it wasn't your work."

Koye Ozaki stepped forward quickly and handed him the phone, which confirmed her winning information.

"You guessed right, it's the No.4 Excellence Award."

"Congratulations."

"Mr. Qiuya, I feel the joy of writing a novel. This novel is too short. Next time I will write an excellent novel for Mr. Qiuya."

The orange-haired girl in kimono looked at him confidently and smiled sweetly.

Ma Shengqiu also leaned back, sat on the chair and said.

"Next year's 'Youth Award', please do your best!"

The writers are still young, but have great potential. It just depends on whether he can direct their energy to literature!Every time he harvests a novel, he feels a great sense of accomplishment!

Having said that... Aso Qiuya has some doubts in his eyes, who is No.3 "Dr. Wind"?

Its writing style is immature and its content is absurd. It tells five characters: Dr. Feng, his disciple, Dr. Octopus, Dr. Feng's ex-wife and his 17-year-old bride.

Ma Shengqiu had never read this novel in his previous life, and he was unfamiliar with the pseudonym.

Anwu?

Which writer took this pen name?The pronunciation is "Anwu".

He flipped through the Baidu Encyclopedia of most of the characters in "Bungo Stray Dogs" and memorized their real names and masterpieces. Without this person, Koyo Ozaki would be No.3, and Tatsuhiko Shibusawa would be No.4, so there is no way to win the award And go directly to open up an award for a novel.

Tsk, Shibusawa Tatsuhiko's title of honest man is about to change, this is obviously to find a way out for himself.

Afterwards, Akira Aso also realized that he was thinking too far. It doesn’t matter if the author of “Dr. The writing team became a member of Stewed Pigeon Publishing House.

Who dares to googoo, stew them all!

He looked at Koye Ozaki who was elated in front of him, and said subtly, "Little Hongye, use this pen name to write from now on." The other party's pen name is "Tokutaro", which is her real male name in the third dimension!This kind of wonderful naming "inspiration" comes from the mutual reflection with the three-dimensional world.

It's so interesting, he seems to be able to see the overlapping parts of the two worlds.

That is the brilliance that only he can see!

Koyo Ozaki replied: "Okay."

No. 3 of the "Youth Award" that no one could have imagined, rubbing his eyes sleepily at this moment, sitting in class and listening to the lecture, not knowing at all that he won the award.

At the government-run police academy, Ango Sakaguchi had his game on his mind.

Ever since he wrote a documentary version of love for Aso Qiuya and Lantang, his enthusiasm for literary creation has been out of control, and he always has the urge to write a story.However, this urge usually disappears one second before writing. Compared with writing novels, he wants to seize the time to learn a foreign language. He heard from his seniors that there is an additional requirement for proficiency in foreign languages ​​in the recruitment requirements of the Supernatural Secret Service Division. !

"Japanese, English, and French." Ango Sakaguchi felt a little bald.

He listened to the teacher's foreign language class and wrote down the beautiful poems he remembered in French. The feeling of immersion in literature dispelled the dullness of learning.

It was under the influence of those two people that Ango Sakaguchi finally produced a short story "Dr. Wind", and secretly submitted it under the pseudonym "Ango".

Literature...is really fascinating.
