On the Compatibility Between Conjurers and Writers

April.

In the northern part of Chiyoda District, Tokyo, the glass surface of the Yomiuri Building shines brightly in the sunlight. The cherry blossoms on both sides of the street are in full bloom. The spring breeze blows gently, and the delicate cherry blossom petals are blown by the wind.

Odasaku walked into this building countless times. Unlike before, today he is wearing a formal suit, and his broken hair is pulled back with hairspray, revealing a smooth and full forehead.

Xiao Zhuangsu was still the same, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, and looked like an industry elite. When he saw Oda, he couldn't help smiling and said: "Congratulations, Mr. Tonosuke."

Odasaku nodded and said: "I just want to thank you, Xiaozhuang-san." As he said, the two held hands tightly together. If they were more enthusiastic, they might embrace vigorously.

This year, Oda's third work "Mountain Village Object" was nominated for the Akutagawa Award. He has been recognized by the academic school, and at an extremely fast speed, who can have such an achievement among young writers?

In short, Xiao Zhuang quickly fulfilled his promise, and Oda Saku became a famous writer in his hands. It should be noted that the fame of a writer is inseparable from the editor. From book binding to publicity planning, these trivial matters are directly linked to the editor. Only when the work is launched at the most appropriate time can the publicity be maximized.

Of course, the quality of the work itself is the most important.

Xiaozhuang hurriedly greeted Odasaku and asked, "Aside from the Akutagawa Award, there are only some small awards, and this year's awards ceremony in the club will be attended by me as usual?"

Odasaku nodded: "I'm sorry, Xiaozhuang-san."

The smile on the corner of Xiaozhuang's mouth grew wider, and he said, "Leave it to me, I'm happy to help."

As he said that, he gave Odasaku the medals that had been kept with him all the time. These small villages have been preserved. He also said, "After all, there is the halo of the Akutagawa nomination award. The copyright of "Mountain Village Object" has been sold. You are a rising star in the industry, and famous directors are willing to cooperate with you."

He said, "In addition, "Golden Basin Washing hands" has been in preparation for so long, and it will finally debut in the spring. It will be released by TV Asahi and broadcast at [-] o'clock every Saturday night. It is incredible."

Oda Saku said: "Yes."

Not to mention TV Asahi, this broadcast time is already the prime time among the prime time, usually medical drama and political drama, to be honest, he is very worried that it will not be able to support the ratings.

But since he had the opportunity, he had to rush forward, and, at this point in time, he could watch it with the whole family.

Saturday night from [-]:[-] to [-]:[-], I went to bed after watching, Megumi and Tsumiki didn't have to stay up late, it was perfect.

Xiao Zhuangsu finally said: "It will premiere this Saturday, but don't forget to watch it, Mr. Tonosuke."

……

"It is commendable that Tonosuke's style of writing is mature beyond his age. Looking at his writing, it is hard to imagine that the author is only 18 years old... Three excellent works in a row prove that he is not a meteor that flies by. , will surely become a shining sun that shines on the Japanese literary world..."

"Literary Weekly" comments, cut out.

"Tonosuke's works rarely show great humanistic care, what is big, that is, a lover in a broad sense... There are still many villages in Shikoku and other places, which reminds us that compulsory education has not been extended to every corner of the country. "Mountain Village Things" is not only higher than reality but also a warning of reality..."

"Yomiuri Shimbun", cut out.

Kei was patiently making a briefing in her room.Since moving into a household in Kanagawa, he and Tsumiki have had their own room. The room is not too big, but it has reached the level that ordinary teenagers should have. When Odasaku took him to choose furniture, he also chose the most cost-effective of.

Fu Heihui's requirements for survival are very low. He doesn't even ask for comfort, as long as he can survive. Thinking that the furniture will sleep for many years, he bought a 1.2-meter teenager's bed.

He actually wanted to buy one with a width of one meter, but Odasaku said, "It's too narrow. It should be bigger at home." And because the width of mattresses is often 1.2 meters, he chose this.

Hui's room is very simple, with a 1.2-meter-wide bed, and the sheets and quilt covers are all in elegant blue plaid, which is a refreshing color that suits him well. The log-colored bookshelves are full of books. A literary book full of Chinese characters, so that peers will exclaim when they see it: "Fu Hei, do you know so many characters?"

There are tables and chairs, and besides, it is empty, there is nothing left.

Tsumiki’s room is similar. As far as the furnishings are concerned, they don’t have a clear preference. Maybe they got too little in the past, but now they only want practical things. Odasaku often asks them what they want, and the answers they get are either books or food. .

In fact, Hui and Tsumiji both like reading, but their family is so poor that they can't even afford picture books, let alone books. Japanese books are very expensive.

At that time, Tsumiji would go to the library, Hui was in the kindergarten, there were no books there, only picture books to read, and every time he was free to play, he would read the books in class and stay quietly in the corner alone.

Now that they finally have the opportunity to read and buy books, how can they not cherish it?

Odasaku is a writer by profession, and he reads a large number of literary books every year, as well as serialized books, newspapers, etc. He subscribes a lot. These Megumi and Tsumiki can read whatever they want, and Xiaozhuang also takes good care of them. For their family, the editorial department would always call Odasaku when they produced sample books, asking him if he needed it. If Odasaku said he liked it, he would definitely get a copy.

There are more and more books in their family.

In addition, Odasaku will also give Megumi and Tsumiki pocket money, which is not the kind of payment for doing nothing, but in exchange for housework.

Hui saved a sum of money, which he used to buy newspapers and literary reviews.

Although it was fixed at home, he couldn't cut it out and make newspaper clippings, he had to buy it himself.

He collected all of Oda's publications, as well as recent comments. Those comments were good and bad. Some said that Oda had a good theme and cared about reality, but some said in a bitter tone that his vocabulary was poor and his language was plain , which is available.

Fu Heihui would always be unhappy when he saw criticism, and pouted to express his dissatisfaction, so he only collected the good ones.

Tsumiji is doing the same thing. Although they are not related by blood, they are real siblings.

I'm taking it to school tomorrow.

He thought so and wanted to show his classmates.

Nagano next door asked him what kind of job Odasaku was. He said that Odasaku was a great writer. Of course the other party believed him, because Fukuro Megumi showed him the newspaper. There were so many characters in the newspaper, and he could write a lot of Chinese characters. Yes, it must be a great writer.

He thought that if someone asked him, he would read the literary critic's words to his classmates, which would be more intuitive.

Odasaku came back at six o'clock, and said to Fuguro Megumi and Tsumiki: "This week, "Golden Basin Washing the Hands" will be aired, and it happens to be Saturday night, let's watch it together."

A blush floated on Fu Heihui's face.

He nodded heavily.

……

Because it is the first work adaptation, I always feel sorry for not notifying my friends. The letter from Osamu Dazai has already been handed over. His recent whereabouts are mysterious and unpredictable. He should still be in Hokkaido, but the place of receipt has been changed to a grocery store. The letters are also very irregular, and one letter comes every once in a while.

Odasaku has found a new job.

Actually...

·

Hokkaido.

"So, what is the identity of Dr. Mori?" Dazai was lying on the sofa in Mori Ogai's office when he said this. The sofa was really a bit old, but fortunately Dazai didn't care, he even ordered a package of shrimp-flavored senbei, While flipping through the book, he squeaked and ate.

Mori Ogai smiled wryly: "I'm just an ordinary doctor."

"Hey - I almost don't know the word ordinary." Dazai draws out his voice, which sounds like coquetry, but Mori Ogai knows it's not like that, Dazai is just used to it, used to speaking like this.

"How can there be ordinary doctors treating Russia?" Dazai looked at Mori Ogai with an innocent expression, "They are all as strong as a big pyrene bear. Ordinary people must be very scared, but Dr. Mori has always been able to handle things with ease. .”

He added, "And looking at the movements, it doesn't look like an ordinary medical worker, a military doctor, who has been to the battlefield? It can't be Doctors Without Borders, right? You don't look like that at all."

Mori Ogai said: "So, just call me sir."

Completely ignoring Dazai's series of cross-examinations, the latter did not give up and said, "You are here, staying in Hokkaido, what exactly do you want to leave? You don't just want to be an underground doctor, right? Besides, it would be nice to take me away." Suspicious, very much like a kidnapper, Mr. Mori." He changed his words graciously.

Mori Ogai still looked distressed: "I don't have any big ambitions, I'm just working in an ordinary job. As for taking you away, because adults really can't watch children wandering outside alone."

"And Dazai-kun has countless ways to leave, right? But he never left."

Dazai smiled and said, "Because I want to see what Mr. Mori is going to do."

Mori Ogai did not hide it: "In short, first accumulate contacts and strength, usurp an organization, and then work hard to develop inland."

He said distressedly, "The headquarters in Yokohama can't break through the blockade anyway, so we can only work hard from the outside."

Dazai asked, "Is this like something an ordinary doctor would say?" He said, "It's like seeing the future when you say that."

Mori Ogai laughed and said, "The future I see is not my future."

He said, "If we change the time and place, it will be very hard for me to meet Dazai-kun, but here we are a natural alliance, and no matter what we do, Yokohama, which has a port and a concession, is the easiest city to develop. Adjacent to Tokyo and outside Tokyo's jurisdiction, it's really...excellent."

Dazai said, "The meaning is unknown."

Mori Ogai, who was rarely able to be a riddle in front of him by virtue of his age, said with a smile: "In short, let's take it as fate."

Dazai ignored him at all, he only saw that the hour hand was still a short distance away from 9, he immediately sat up straight, and opened the laptop that was spread out on the sofa.

No way, why does Mori Ogai have no TV in his office?That thing really ruined the atmosphere.

Seeing him following the drama, the corner of Mori Ogai's mouth twitched suddenly.

"Dazai-kun?"

Could it be a short TV series about parents, it doesn't feel like Dazai at all!

Dazai: Seriously Chasing Dramas.jpg.

……

Gojo Satoru: "I don't believe it."

Xia Youjie said indifferently: "If you don't believe it, you have to believe it."

Gojo Satoru held his face and said, "Why, Ming Mingjie is already an Internet celebrity, and before we were on TV, Odasaku was the first to appear on the big screen? Doesn't he have the quality of a TV personality at all?" Compared with his mediocre vlog genius, the difference is too big!

Xia Youjie almost couldn't hold back his head on Wutiaowu's head, forget it, he has a lower limit, and he can't break it at all.

He patiently explained: "First of all, it's not Zuo Oda who is on TV, but an adaptation of Zuku Oda's work. He is a writer in the first place, so it's normal."

The background sound is Gojo Satoru's rounding up, which means he is on TV, I don't listen to it, I don't listen to it, I don't listen to it.

"Secondly, we're just normal Internet celebrities, and I have no interest in being on TV."

In fact, Xia Youjie has recently received a lot of invitations from agencies, all of whom are interested in him in the vlog and invite him to be a male model, Wujo Satoru is still at the side and encourages, "Go, Jie, why don't you go?"

Xia Youjie wondered what I was going to do, do I have to betray my appearance to the monkey?

That being said, his mentality has calmed down a lot in the past six months, and the reason is...

"Ah." Gojo Wu suddenly thought of something, "Are you going to do volunteer work today, student Xia Youjie?"

The latter replied: "Change to another orphanage, I still want to go."

Since Nanako, Mimiko, Hui, and Tsumiki almost became orphans in the orphanage, Xia Youjie has shown great enthusiasm for volunteer work since last year.

He also specifically asked Oda Saku about the probability of the little conjurer being born in an orphanage.

Oda Saku said at the time: "It's actually not small."

He said, "Under normal circumstances, the children of ordinary families are the only ones who can see the mantra. Because they are too young, they are easily dismissed by their parents as hallucinations. However, they lack awareness of the mantra and are easily discovered by the mantra. Entire families were attacked."

"Compared to the children of conjurers, the parents of ordinary people have weak limbs, and it is not easy to survive the attack, so the children will be sent to welfare institutions." He said, "Institutions that specialize in frequent occurrence of strange things may find A conjurer's child."

Gojo Satoru commented: "There are so few conjurers among ordinary people, maybe you can't find any seedlings of conjurers after reading all the institutions in Japan."

Xia Youjie was very persistent. He said: "Even if you find a child, it will change his life. The children of conjurers should not stay among ordinary people. They can only be happy if they live with their own kind. Mimiko was also abused, so what should I do?"

There is no way to stop him.

With such a mentality to search, he actually found a few for him, and then notified the supervisor to help him go through the procedure, and wanted to raise these children, Gojo Satoru complained: "Do you want to open a kindergarten?"

These children are very grateful to Xia Youjie, which brought him some spiritual comfort, but it did not aggravate his hatred for ordinary people. The reason is very simple. They are all children who have received good care after their parents died. .

Japan's welfare institutions are doing well, and the deans are very caring. Most of them are self-pitying, just like the future Otoko Yuta, who said: "If there is no me, Mom and Dad will not die. You won't be targeted by the curse spirit, will you?"

Xia Youjie couldn't even tell them that it was the fault of ordinary people, because it was the caring ordinary people that allowed them to live until now.

Moreover, he received a lot of thanks.

It was something he had never received when exorcising the curse spirit.

Last year, since Xia Youjie was passive and sabotage, his supervisor changed again. I heard that his name was Ango Sakaguchi. Unlike other supervisors, this one seemed particularly elite and unkind. The student, who is not weak in mana, became an editor.

He asked Xia Youjie, "Are you going to do this?"

Xia Youjie didn't understand: "What?"

Ango Sakaguchi said, "If your goal is to help children of conjurers from ordinary families, isn't that too slow?" He said, "There must be more suitable screening institutions and more people to help you, right? "

As he said so, his round glasses reflected a burst of white light.

He complained: "Why not build Hogwarts?"

Xia Youjie:? ?
