On the Compatibility Between Conjurers and Writers

Small, old, but clean.

Xiao Zhuang quickly knelt and sat on the tatami, looking around from the corner of his eyes.

Due to his age, the apartment Odasaku rents is much smaller than the ones built in Tokyo after 90 years. The size of an ordinary apartment is between 15KD and 20KD, while the one Odasaku lives in is only 10KD.

Woohoo, Tonosuke-sensei is really working too hard.

Xiao Zhuang's heart was full of tears, but there was only a little emotion on his face. Oda Tsukuru was busy in front of the cooking table and asked him if he wanted barley tea, coffee or green tea. Xiao Zhuang quickly said, "It doesn't need to be too much trouble, plain water will do."

Oda Tsukuru poured the white water first, and felt that it was inconvenient for Xiao Zhuang to put the cup on the tatami, so he took out the small round table stored in the closet, and he, Tsumiki and Hui had dinner on the small round table.

In fact, Odasaku is already thinking about changing apartments. When Fuguro's apartment expires, he plans to take the two children to move into Yihujian, and they can also have their own rooms.

Of course, Xiaozhuang didn't know about it. He saw Oda Tsukuru move out of the low table, and he was even more sad: ah, Mr. Tonosuke.

"No, you don't need to be so troublesome." He quickly refused.

Odasaku didn't know what he was thinking, he just thought that Xiaozhuang was here to urge the manuscript, and after thinking about showing him "Mountain Village Object", he said: "The story is basically completed, only the ending sentence has not been written. I have no inspiration, if Xiao Zhuangsang has a good suggestion, you might as well say it.” He added, “The manuscript itself is messy, and it is difficult to distinguish, sorry.”

Xiao Zhuang quickly said: "No, in terms of clarity, Mr. Tonosuke's manuscript is one of the best."

This is Tonosuke-sensei who writes like a print. Even if the lines are erased and scratched, it seems to have been measured with a ruler. How could the handwriting be unclear?

In just one morning, Xiao Zhuang received enough stimulation. He made up his mind that he must promote Mr. Tonosuke as a popular author in order to improve his life, otherwise he would be too hard.

By the way, today is a weekday. The teacher should be in school. Waiting for him here is because he has dropped out of school... Not only do I have to rely on writing to support my two younger siblings, but I also have to work part-time on weekdays...

Looking up again, Xiao Zhuang glanced sharply at the test paper set beside the low table by the window. The familiar red and yellow color scheme was the test paper set of Dongda University!

He couldn't help asking: "Teacher Tonosuke, that's..."

Oda Tsukuru snorted, "It's the test paper for the exam." He paused for a while, "I want to take the exam for the University of Tokyo. Whether I can get it is another matter. I have to work hard."

Xiaozhuang couldn't help but burst into tears. He was so busy that he didn't have time to go to school, but he still insisted on burning the lights and doing the test papers at night, trying to find a balance between difficult life and ideals. It's really, really frustrating Moved!

If Odasaku knew what he was thinking, he might say no, my life is not very hard, who would call him a working emperor?

After being moved, Xiaozhuang began to read "Mountain Village Objects".

"Looking back from a distance, the mountains of Shikoku are still the same, green and green, with misty clouds covering the mountains, the buzzing of police cars not far away, and the flashing red and blue lights, making the mountains quiet and beautiful. The coldness of the place was completely broken..."

"I often think of those two children. What happened to them? Did they start their life as human beings?"

"The mountain remains the same, but the village has disappeared."

Xiao Zhuang frowned, and "Mountain Village Things" brought him an unspeakable shock after just a rough reading, but this shock was long-lasting. Haunting, frankly speaking, this is quite a deep work, even worthy of an award, but...

He considered it: "It's a rare and good work, but the style is a bit out of touch with "Golden Basin Washing hands". Are there any transitional works between the two?"

That's right, that's the problem. As a newcomer, Oda Saku cannot write whatever he wants like a veteran author. During this period, his style should be more stable.

The reason is simple. Authors also need to accumulate reputation, and for them, changing styles is not a good thing. In the minds of academic judges, this means that the core of each spirit is not deep enough.

Xiaozhuang raised this question because he hoped that Odasaku would go more steadily, and more steadily.

Unexpectedly, upon hearing his question, Oda Saku breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately launched the completed "The Cold and Cool World".

He also had a sequence when he conceived. The first work was "Washing the Golden Basin", which can be said to be the autobiography of Oda.

"The Cold World" is the work of Oda Saku after he left the world of killers and re-understands the life of ordinary people, and it also reflects some of his thinking.

Because he lived in a slum in Yokohama and dealt with mafia members, Odasaku was more likely to encounter tragedies in the worldly sense, and at the center of the tragedies, not everyone, like Tsumiki, had the tenacity to live with the situation, numb He has seen a lot of people who are ashamed and ashamed.

For them, Odasaku does not judge. He thinks his task is to record, record their stories, and present them in front of people. It is against this background that "The Cold and Cool World" was created.

Xiao Zhuang looked at the thick stack of manuscripts handed to him, his head full of question marks.

Xiaozhuang:? ?

With you, you have already finished it!

There are still manuscripts?

Why not take it out sooner?

Xiao Zhuang didn't understand.

Oda: I don't want to be mistaken for a typewriter.

I write really slowly.

"The Heat of the World" is a collection of short stories, and it is a unit drama on the big screen, but there is a connection between each small unit.

It also has a lot of words, which is enough for this collection. Xiao Zhuang was excited after reading it. Isn't this the perfect excessive collection that he wanted?

The style is a link between the past and the future, not only inheriting the calm daily style of "Golden Basin Washing Your Hands", but also starting to dig deep, making a start for "Mountain Village Things".

"It's really amazing, Mr. Tonosuke." He said in a crazy rainbow fart, "Really, I thought Mr. Tonosuke didn't write anything recently, and he completed such a large project without making a sound. Really High yield, Tonosuke-sensei."

Oda work:.

"No." He insisted on correcting, "I write books very slowly." This was written when I was inspired before, but I really have no inspiration recently!

Xiao Zhuang's heart was full of enthusiasm, and there was no room for retreating. He summed up: "Mr. Fujimura's serialization will end in two weeks, "The Cold and Cool World" will be picked up, and the weekly "Magazine" will start serializing comics in a month's time. With some popularity, there are also TV dramas and animation adaptations. Some time ago, there was an animation that wrote the growth history of voice actors and won a high ratings. Does this mean that the audience can accept the reality of animation recently?

Since this is the case, teacher, if your "Golden Basin Washing Hands" is adapted, it may have a good ratings. You must try to find an excellent animation agency to adapt it. "

In fact, they didn't have much room to choose, but Xiaozhuang thought, no matter what, he had to do something for Oda, and the "Mountain Village Things" that followed seemed to be a work that could win the Academy Award. " and "The World Is Cool" have a longer promotional period, and then the mountain and village objects will be like fireworks, with enough heat, and with a bang, gorgeous fireworks will explode in the starry sky of the literary world.

Now it is different from the past, even the awards still have to consider the popularity of the public.

Today I can't finish reading "The Cold World", and Xiao Zhuang is about to take the manuscript back to Tokyo, but he hears Oda say: "It's getting late, let's stay for a light meal, Xiao Zhuang-san."

Xiao Zhuang said in his heart: How can I make the teacher's family that is not well-off worse? Of course it is impossible.Just as he was about to resign, he heard the sound of a key turning from the door.

After pushing open the door, seeing a strange man, Jin Meiji and Huidu were taken aback, and then asked tentatively, "Mr. Xiaozhuang?"

The latter immediately reacted and greeted, "Is it Hui-chan and Tsumiki-chan?" Oda Saku had mentioned the names of the two children to him.

They nodded obediently.

Xiao Zhuang saw the two of them, and he liked them very much. He was obsessed with work and didn't have a girlfriend yet, but like Jin Meiji and Hui, who would not like a kid who was not noisy at all, and who was still cute, not to mention they were still knives. The younger sister of Mr. Nosuke.

Pet, must try hard to pet!

Before he came, he bought expensive snacks from Tokyo, and they are now in Oda Writer's refrigerator. Oda Zuo counted on the day Xiao Zhuang came, and he had already prepared what he wanted to eat.

Because there is an extra adult, the set of bowls and chopsticks is not enough. Odasaku thought about it and decided to eat barbecue. Their family bought a stove that can be used for both barbecue and hot pot. Because the weather has not turned cold, it is too hot to eat hot pot , and changed to barbecue.

The barbecue side dishes are sliced ​​mushrooms and pumpkin, in addition to bell peppers, corn, etc. It is necessary to eat green vegetables. Odasaku also mixed a large bowl of vegetable salad. The meat is Wagyu bought in the supermarket, and For black pork from Kyushu, Xiao Zhuang looked at the grade of beef with trepidation, and he was relieved when he found that it was A3.

The Japanese have the habit of entertaining people with the most high-end cuisine. If he came to buy A5 grade wagyu beef at a high cost, Xiao Zhuang would grab the land with his head.

Looking at Tsumiji and Megumi, they are not surprised by favor or humiliation, and they don't look like they are greedy for meat. At best, they only show children's love for barbecue.

Odasaku also prepared lemon and yuzu vinegar to relieve his tiredness. He said: "There is yuzu sorbet in the refrigerator for dessert after dinner." Then he asked Tsumiki and Hui, "Do you want to eat?"

Yakiniku is often served with rice in Japan. Megumi and Tsumiki nodded, and even dripped a small drop of fresh soy sauce on the rice. Xiao Zhuang looked at this scene and was a little dazed. He couldn't imagine how he joined the Oda & Fuguro family for a happy dinner. , but he immediately said: "It's troublesome."

Oda has cooked new rice, and he will wrap the rest in plastic wrap and put it in the freezer.

Because there were a lot of people, Jin Meiji also moved in the small round table from Fuhei's house, and the two tables were put together, which was very cute.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, Xiao Zhuang got on the train back to Tokyo in a daze, carrying a specialty of Yokohama's Chinatown - siu mai.

The life of the Oda family was not as miserable as he thought. On the contrary, it was interesting. For a while, he was happy for Oda and hoped that their life would be better.

At the same time, he had a wonderful idea.

The protagonist of "Golden Basin Washing Your Hands" is similar to Mr. Tonosuke. Aren't Tsumiki and Kei the prototypes of the wandering brothers and sisters in the novel?A discerning person can see it at a glance.

I also think of the standard printed characters of Oda Zuo, the unpredictable and mysterious background...

Xiao Zhuang shuddered, it was impossible, impossible, what was he thinking, what age was it, how could there be a killer, even if there was, it would not be the underage Oda Zuo.

Forget it, get back to work.

……

Before leaving Hokkaido, he got the news that Odasaku had launched a new series. Dazai was so happy that he even went to Kanimoto’s to order a high-end crab meat dish, so he could eat it all by himself.

I don’t know what method he used, but he was not interrogated, but the end result of eating crab meat without restraint was a stomachache. He lay on the quilt, curled up in pain late at night, like a red shrimp, stayed like this in the middle of the night, and finally stopped. It hurt, but he returned to normal, so he got up dissatisfied, drank ice water again, and said to himself in the mirror, "It's too bad."

He hates Shuji Tsushima, the one in history, but Dazai has to admit that the other party said very well, even if it is death, he hopes to die without pain. Compared with accepting the established death, the pain in life hurts him more. .

Dazai's body is very good, but there is nothing wrong with him being so pretentious, only small parts protest occasionally, as if telling him to treat me better, of course, Dazai never ignores it.

Right now, he is thinking about his plans to go to Russia.

It's not that Japan is too peaceful and there is no chance for him to use his fists, but Dazai knows that he is too young to make big waves. If he wants to have the ability to turn clouds and rain, he has to wait until he is twelve or thirteen years old. Wouldn't it be wonderful to listen and watch more during the gap before growing up?

For some reason, Russia has an unusual allure for him, as if there is something waiting for him there, and he even makes an inventory of ways to go to Russia in his mind, which must be smuggling.

Recently, he stayed in Hokkaido to prepare for going to Russia. Among other things, he must speak Russian very fluently.

He suddenly thought just now: If he went to Russia, he would not be able to buy the manuscripts of Oda, but then he thought, thanks to the electronic version of the Yomiuri Shimbun, he could not buy physical books in Russia, and he could still subscribe to ebooks.

After thinking about it, his mood became better again, and even his pale face due to stomach pain turned rosy. He first took out a stack of letter papers from the bottom of the table, and began his routine daily classes.

Dazai is not against writing, he just doesn’t want to create or write articles. If he writes, it will inevitably remind him of the writer Shuji Tsushima, but writing letters and diaries can bring him happiness.

Dazai likes words, this is like an instinct branded in his blood.

Since the serialization is about to start, he decided not to harass Xiao Zhuang, he decided to write a letter to tell Odasaku the interesting things that happened recently.

That’s right, although he gave up Odasaku, the two of them kept in touch as pen pals. At the beginning, he only asked Odasaku about his literature and discussed his works. Later, it might be too much for Dazai to write him a letter. Diligent, I don't know when, the two became pen pals who exchanged letters.

They will recommend good books to each other, share their lives, and send postcards.

Basically he sent Oda unilaterally.

He lied about being a new photographer on the road.

The fledgling kind.

"Katanosuke-san Jingqi."

After writing this sentence, Dazai thought about it for a while, thinking about what he would say next. He said in several letters that he finally decided to end his long vacation and leave his hometown of Aomori. He first went to the international metropolis Tokyo, but he He said that no matter how many times he went, it made no difference. He watched the tourists coming and going in front of Sensoji Temple, felt the old but happy Tokyo Disneyland, spent a lot of money in Ginza, and walked on the sidewalk along the coast of Minato District...

The scenery is very different from Aomori, but he shuttled through the sardine-like crowd, and felt that everyone looked the same, and there was really no difference.

Odasaku told him that Yokohama is very good, everyone is the same and different, here is the most beautiful sea and the bustling Chinatown, he said he lived a peaceful and happy life in this seaside city, and told Dazai which one Siu Mai is the best.

Dazai said in his last letter that he had already eaten the one recommended by Odasaku. The next stop is going to Hokkaido. I heard that the sea there is the real sea, and the crab meat is very delicious.

After receiving the letter, Odasaku blessed him, and suggested that Dazai make an illustrated book of gourmet food from various places. Whether the evaluation is fair is another matter. The main thing sounds interesting.

Dazai also found it interesting, so he took a notebook with him to record, just like a food blogger.

Thinking of this, Dazai smiled, he laughed easily when he thought of Odasaku, not a malicious sneer, but a happy smile.

"I have already settled down in Hokkaido, and I am currently writing a letter to you in my apartment in the north of Sapporo. I went to Otaru a few days ago. I heard that the "Love Letter" that was a big hit a few years ago was filmed in Otaru, but I really don't like it. A slimy, snail-like emotion has just returned from Otaru."

"I'm going to visit Hakodate in a few days. Of course, I will start from Sapporo and go all the way from Asahikawa..."

As he spoke, he selected a few recent food photos and prepared to send them to Odasaku together.

In the end, he also congratulated him on his upcoming new chapter. On the whole, it was a perfect pen pal letter.

When writing this letter, Dazai felt tranquil happiness and felt that something was missing.

Perhaps, such a peaceful daily life could not satisfy him.

……

Odasaku is busy with the sports lunch box.

To be precise, he was busy working under Xia Youjie's guidance, and he also gave a troublesome Gojo Satoru as a gift.

Unlike Oda Zuo, who doesn't make any changes in the cooking level and only wants to be nutritious and edible, Xia Youjie is a doting father who spoils his daughter. God knows how he learned to cook while performing tasks.

Earlier this month, Oda & Fuhei added a big item, namely a laptop.

Odasaku had used it before, and it was very smooth to play. Gojo Satoru heard that he bought a computer, and specially called to remind (harass) Odasaku to pay attention to their blog.

In fact, it is Wujo Wu's registered blog, but he often takes pictures of Xia Youjie's house.

The person involved also plausibly said: "No way, is my daily life boring? Doing tasks and doing tasks, Jie doing tasks is also very boring, but it is very interesting for him to go home and raise cubs."

Oda work:.

funny adjective...

Anyway, under Gojo Satoru's half-force, Odasaku followed his blog, and even Tsumiki and Kei, who were new to computers, started to read it.

Hui and Tsumiji's classmates basically have computers at home, and the school also has an information class, so their family is late to buy.

One day, Odasaku suddenly heard Tsumiki sighing: "It's amazing——"

He just asked, "What?"

Tsumiji said generously, "Gojo-san's blog."

What caught Odasaku's eyes were colorful bento boxes.

Odasaku was in awe: "It's very powerful."

Kei was also attracted, and the three of them watched together.

The style of Wujo Wu blog is a bit difficult to describe in one word, mainly the color and content of the uploaded photos, as well as the supporting language.

"Today Jie made a super cute Pikachu bento pikapika [picture] [picture], super cute——"

Even today when blogs are popular, Gojo Satoru’s blog has received a lot of attention. At the beginning, it was because of the brightly colored bento. Xia Youjie is very creative in this era, making Pokémon-themed bento and so on. , and one day after Gojo Satoru took a picture of Xia Youjie's back, the people who followed were all excited.

Although it is called Jie, it is normal for petite and cute jk or housewives to make bento in Japan. Xia Youjie looks like a tall and big dk at first glance, and he is still a handsome guy with a super figure from the back.

The visitor looks like Sparta at a glance. It is known that the blogger is a female high school student who uses cute language. If it is a male high school, there will not be so many stickers, and there is no masculinity at all.

So is this the lovelove of a peerless boyfriend?Damn, it's too sweet!

Of course, Oda's brain is not so big. He just saw Xia Youjie's delicious hamburger meat and Tangyang chicken nuggets, and remembered the upcoming sports meeting.

Do you want to ask him for advice?
