On the Compatibility Between Conjurers and Writers

Yomiuri Shimbun Headquarters in Tokyo, Xiao Zhuangsu paced back and forth between the empty corridors, he was facing the continuous glass, this is the 16th floor of the Yomiuri Shimbun, looking far away, the top of Tokyo Tower loomed in the clouds now.

The door of the editorial department was opened narrowly, and the rest of the people could not help but wink at Xiaozhuang's shadowy figure.

that...

Ah, sure enough.

I didn't expect Mr. Tonosuke to...

The eternal topic of being an editor is urging manuscripts. If you can meet Mr. Kishibe Rohan who never delays manuscripts in JOJO, it will be a blessing that you have accumulated.

Originally, Xiao Zhuang had high expectations for the newly signed Oda Sakuho. However, after experiencing a series of reasons why he has no inspiration for the work and is busy working part-time recently, he finally hardened his heart on Oda Sakuho.

After a few busy toots, Odasaku answered the phone: "Moses, this is Oda."

Xiao Zhuang heard a reluctance in his usual non-positive tone, and he reflected in his glasses and said, "This is Xiao Zhuang." He urged politely, "The serialization I mentioned earlier, Mr. Tonosuke How is the writing going?"

Even Oda Saku had something to say in his heart, he said slowly: "It's almost there."

In fact, there are other manuscripts, but Oda Saku wanted to refine it, so he wrote the inspired "Mountain Village Object" first, and then collected materials in Shikoku. Somewhat inspired, "It's ending."

That's right, that's it. The more I got to the end, the more I didn't want to write. There was only a small ending, but I didn't want to write anyway. The manuscript was spread out on the table for a long time.

Odasaku thought blankly: I haven't written today's set of papers, it doesn't matter if I go out early if I work part-time, and there is also Tsumiki's English tutoring...

In short, I just want to cuckoo.

So Xiao Zhuang said in a more polite tone: "In that case, can you let me see the completed manuscript? Maybe I can give some suggestions to Mr. Tonosuke."

This is of course impossible. Tonosuke-san's style of writing is very mature. After reading it, the editor-in-chief would lament the young and mature writing style. Raising opinions rashly may affect his thinking.

There is only one reason for saying this, which is to pave the way for door-to-door reminders.

Oda Saku, who was far away in Yokohama, turned his head to look at the messy manuscript.

His face was expressionless: Ah, it hasn't been transcribed yet.

So he said: "Yes, yes, but I haven't transcribed it yet." Subconsciously delaying the time, "Why don't we talk about it until I finish transcribing..."

Xiao Zhuang: "It doesn't matter. There are special typists in the club who can help you enter the teacher. There is no computer in the teacher's house, right? I am really eager to see the new work of the teacher."

Oda: "."

What to do, it is absolutely impossible to refuse.

Speaking of this, Xiao Zhuang finally showed his fangs and said, "Is it convenient to come and trouble you next week, Mr. Tonosuke? Yokohama is very close to Tokyo. I have wanted to visit you for a long time."

Oda: "."

coming.

……

A phone call from Xiao Zhuang brought a rare low pressure to the Oda family. After Tsumiji and Hui came back from home hand in hand, they saw the expressionless Oda Saku and said: "What's wrong, Brother Oda?"

For the past month, Odasaku has been on night shift at a convenience store, from 7:10 p.m. to [-]:[-] p.m. After stocktaking is completed, it is often eleven or twelve o'clock. Fortunately, he sleeps very well, and even if he maintains a high-intensity part-time job, he has not given birth to black hair. The eye circles, but Obasan from Morikawa Department Store loves him, and is helping Oda find a new job, the kind with more flexible working hours and higher hourly wages.

Because he is a refreshing salt man, it is not difficult to find such a job.

Oda was wearing heat-insulating gloves, the casserole produced by Muji was still steaming, and the chicken ball pot was placed in the middle of the low table. After he finished his work and sat down cross-legged, he said sadly: "Xiao Zhuang-san is coming."

Xiaozhuangsang?Hui and Tsumiki searched for names in their minds, Jade Dog seemed to feel the little master's thoughts, and huddled around them.

This is the suggestion given by Gojo Satoru. The mantra power grows faster in childhood. If the mantra power is exhausted every day, the blue bar can grow a little bit. Hui is still young. Compared with letting him use the mantra all the time The best way to expend power is to let the magic spirit replace it. Just let the jade dog out, which is very convenient.

Although the cramped Japanese room became even smaller after squeezing in two big dogs that didn't shed their hair, seeing Megumi and Tsumiki not caring at all, Odasaku didn't care.

Hui chewed the rice, swallowed it, and said, "It's Oda's editor."

Tsumiji let out an ah, then remembered and said, "That's right."

She asked, "Is editor San going to visit the house?"

Oda Saku said: "It could have been avoided, but..."

but?

Tsumiki and Hui opened their ears.

Odasaku: "Because "Mountain Village Object" has not been completed, so I came to the door."

Tsumiji exclaimed, "Isn't it finished yet?"

Fu Heihui also wondered: "Hasn't the story been written long ago?" It was his and Jin Meiji's bedtime reading, and they had already read it.

Oda: "After the novel is finished, there must be a conclusion of a summary paragraph."

Fugurohui & Tsumiki: "Yes."

Odasaku: "I haven't finished writing it yet."

Hui couldn't help asking: "Have you written it for half a month and haven't finished it yet?"

Odasaku admitted: "Probably so."

Ah this...

Odasaku is an omnipotent adult in the hearts of Megumi and Tsumiki. The two first helped Odasaku find an excuse. Tsumiki seemed to think of something and said softly: "Is it because of part-time work...too tired?"

Oda denied: "No." He had to tell the truth in front of his children, "I just want to delay the draft."

Then he described his behavior as if possessed by a cursed spirit: "Sitting at the table and looking at the manuscript paper spread out, I don't want to write a word anyway, even if I know that I just need to simply record my thoughts, I can't do it. "

He said, "Before I knew it, I finished reading the newly borrowed "Scenery of the Floating World", finished the package, and even sorted out the bills for the day. The hour hand pointed to 1 o'clock, and it was time to go to bed."

"Is it like this every day?"

"Yes."

Will Oda-san do the same?

Megumi and Tsumiki were silent.

The two avoided the topic first, and Yuzumiji said: "In October, that is, two weeks later, the school will have a sports meeting." Hui followed and nodded.

This year, Hui successfully entered Tsumiji's school and became a glorious primary school student.

Oda said: "Two weeks later, is it Friday?"

Tsumiki and Hui Qiqi nodded.

He thought about it: "that day, I will ask for leave."

"The sports meeting is the same as the parents' meeting. Parents are required to interact with each other, right?" He took it for granted, "I will go."

Looking at the faces of the two people who immediately lit up, they asked, "Do you want to prepare a bento?"

It should be necessary.

……

In September, Osamu Dazai, who was far away in Hokkaido, went to the newsstand near the apartment to buy newspapers every day.

Ojisan at the newsstand already knew Dazai, and when he saw him, he raised his voice and said, "Are you buying news again?"

Dazai raised a cute smiling face, and said in a child's tone: "Please have a copy of the Yomiuri Shimbun." Then he spread his hand, handed out a coin and said, "There are two more crab rice balls, please."

In addition to selling weekly magazines such as news and JUMP, the newsstand also sells a 360-yen pocket manga for office workers to relieve the loneliness of the tram. In addition, there are small bottles of oolong tea and handmade rice balls. At noon, they are changed into bento boxes that change daily, which is very popular. Nearby commuters welcome.

Osamu Dazai has been staying in Hokkaido for a month. The humanities here do not attract him, but the agricultural products produced in the northern land are deeply loved by him. There are also seafood, such as sea crabs caught in the Sea of ​​Okhotsk, which really hit the spot. To his point, Dazai never knew that crabs were such a delicious food.

Because it was so delicious, I stopped here unknowingly.

During the period, I did not forget to follow the serialization of Oda, of course, I lied to buy it for my non-existent father.

Disappointed every day I buy.

Back in the simple and cramped apartment, I read the literature edition first, and sure enough there was no serialization by Oda Saku, and then went online to read the official website of the Yomiuri Shimbun, yes, yes, he even has a laptop!

Didn't you say that there will be a new serialization soon?Why hasn't it opened yet?

The sullen Dazai took out a pen and paper, and decided to send another reminder letter to the headquarters.

He's not urging Odasaku, he just hopes that the headquarters will show more sincerity, otherwise he will be approached by angry readers.

……

May 9st, morning.

Xiao Zhuang quickly went to the company to check in, and after processing the information, he turned the status of the badge hanging at the door to business trip, but before leaving, he heard Kimura winking at the neighbor: "That's it again, Xiao Zhuang."

He sighed slightly, knowing what it was, a reminder letter.

As I said before, the retention rate of Oda’s readers is very high. He once read an exquisite metaphor: “If you have the habit of chasing morning dramas every day, suddenly one day, it ends, and 15 minutes of daily healing If it disappears, you will feel lost, right?"

Readers believe that Oda's novels are similar to morning dramas.

And with the start of the manga planning and the planning of the TV series, the popularity of "Golden Basin Washing Hands" has been pushed even higher. At this time, everyone will think that it is a good time for a new serialization.

Of course, this is not to rush to write. No matter what, the quality and quantity of new articles must be guaranteed. If the quality is not good, the author with a weak foundation will easily go downhill. If he becomes a short-lived talent, it will not be beautiful.

Thinking of this, Xiao Zhuang took a deep breath and said, "I see, I'll read the letter when I get back." Then he straightened his sleeves like a general going to war and said, "I'm going out."

Kimura cheered him up: "Fighting! Xiaozhuang."

……

Transfer, transfer.

It only took one hour from Tokyo to Yokohama, but it took more than 1 minutes from Yokohama Station to Oda Writer. Walking on the asphalt road laid n years ago, Xiao Zhuang quickly wiped his sweat with a handkerchief, even knowing the economics of Mr. Tonosuke The situation is average, and I didn't expect him to live here.

Also too out of the way.

For a while, he was relieved and saddened. The relief was that Mr. Tonosuke did not change his original intention, and did not indulge in joy because of the high remuneration. He heard a lot about this kind of person from his predecessors. Apartments, those who swayed money in Ginza, even tossed banknotes, and it rained yen from the sky.

How extravagant and extravagant it is.

So Oda Saku's ability to keep it simple really moved him very much.

but……

Seeing the shabby house number, Xiao Zhuang almost burst into tears. It’s so pitiful, Mr. Tonosuke, is he living in such a slum to create, and with a pair of younger siblings...

When Odasaku opened the door, he saw Suzuki Kosho wiping the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief.

Oda:?
