Tokyo Girlfriend Illustrated Book

As soon as Kurokawa Toyomasa started talking, Nishizawa Yang already knew the other party's choice.

"Are you crazy?! That's Mr. Tsuruta Masao, are you..." He said in disbelief.

"Being selected as a judge is the trust of the association and the mystery community in me. As a writer, I also have my own persistence and my own understanding of mystery novels."

Kurokawa Toyomasa raised his head and chest, and his "literary style" was very chic:

"If Mr. Tsuruta has any misunderstandings, I will explain to him in person. I believe he will understand me. After all, even if we have different ideas, we are all for the future of Japanese mystery."

These words were so righteous that Nishizawa Yang understood that Kurokawa was more unwilling to bear the anger of Hojo Kyosuke than to face Tsuruta Masao directly.

He figured this out in a flash, but more doubts followed.

Why? Why would Kurokawa prefer to offend Mr. Tsuruta than betray Hojo Kyosuke? What is there about that little Hojo kid that is worthy of his attention except for his ability to attract attention?

"Kurokawa, you..."

"Okay!"

Nishizawa was interrupted by the chairman Kitamura Kazuo. He clapped his hands twice, then looked at the clerk sitting at the corner of the circular long table and said:

"The final selection is now officially started, Sakashita, start recording from now on. By the way, don't forget to write down what Mr. Kurokawa just said."

The clerk Sakashita Takenori said nothing, and tore up all the pages of notes he had recorded before, and then began to write again.

Even though there are now recorders and laptops, this traditional association is still accustomed to using this most traditional way of recording.

Nishizawa swallowed the threatening words helplessly, he knew what Kitamura Kazuo meant. That was a warning to him that the nonsense would stop here, and the selection would follow the normal process next.

Huh——

A long exhalation suddenly sounded in the quiet air. The one who was relieved was not the tortured Kurokawa Toyomasa, nor the inexplicably victorious Osaka Tsuyoshi, but the fifth judge, Ogawa Tetsu.

Ogawa Tetsu, who had been caught in the middle from the beginning, was a witness to the gods. He really didn't expect that this year's selection would cause so many troubles. If he had known earlier, he would have shouted "I don't want to" when asked if he was willing to serve as a judge! The work he recommended was called "Yuanxia".

He would insist on recommending the other party, one is that the work is really to his taste, whether it is the tricks or the plot and character settings, it can be called excellent. And the author Osaki Go has been a candidate twice, which means that he has been a stepping stone for others twice. According to convention, he should have given the other party an award this time, but the result...

I'm sorry, Osaki-kun, next time, when you become a candidate for the third time, I will definitely help you canvass votes from the judges!

The selection entered the final stage. Everyone took out a piece of manuscript paper, which was a pre-written comment. It was only submitted to the association and announced to the public on the association's official website as the basis for the selection.

"These are five candidate works with completely different colors, flavors, and feels. These are stories full of personality and particularly confusing. As a reader, I have a very happy reading experience, but as a selection committee member, I feel confused and troubled. I have to ask myself whether I am qualified to evaluate these works, or even choose the best one from them.

What do I require of the story, what do I want, and what attracts me? I asked myself, and then I found the answer myself. After a long time, although I am still very immature, it gave me important experience, which I think is useful."

Tetsu Ogawa was the first to stand up, holding the manuscript paper and reading aloud:

"After careful selection, I decided to vote for "The Devotion of Suspect X."

Nishizawa Yang leaned back and looked hard at Tetsu Ogawa's speech. When he saw the words "Yuanxia" written on it, his triangular eyes were immediately filled with resentment.

Yes, after experiencing the threat of Nishizawa and seeing the struggle between the two sides, Tetsu Ogawa chose to directly side with Hojo Kyosuke. He knew that he was able to stay out of it before because Hojo Kyosuke and Nishizawa were fighting fiercely and had no time to care about him, but once one side wins, he will face the reckoning.

Moreover, Hojo Kyosuke now has four votes in his hand. If he still insists on choosing "Yuanxia", wouldn't it be offending people in vain? As for the boss Tsuruta Masao...even if he wants to be settled, he will find Kurokawa first.

Tetsu Ogawa, who had already made a decision in his heart, didn't even look at other people, and read the speech in his hand. Although this was written entirely for "Yuanxia", it is not impossible to change it temporarily and use it for "The Devotion of Suspect X".

“…In the work “The Devotion of Suspect X”, the protagonist Tetsuya Ishigami left a deep impression on me. As Hegel said, “Man as a whole is a living being, not an abstract entity of an encouraging character.” Ishigami is a rare mathematical genius in a century, but the life of such a genius is not as happy as that of an ordinary person. This can’t help but raise a question in my mind - what kind of person can live happily in this world?

With this question in mind, I eagerly continued reading. I saw the single mother Hanaoka Yasuko who raised her daughter alone, I saw Hanaoka Misato who was able to stand up and protect her mother, I saw Kudo Kuniaki who had a successful career and a happy family but was still obsessed with the ballroom girl, I saw the extremely smart but... The unbearable Yukawa Manabu...

After seeing these people, I was shocked to find that the freest and happiest person among them was actually Togashi Shinji, who idled around every day and could get pocket money from his ex-wife to get drunk. Even after his death, he still had so many people. People run for him..."

Ogawa Tetsu is indeed a famous writer. Even when it comes to writing reviews, he does such a good job that even Tsuyoshi Aisaka looked over in surprise.

This guy...could he have been secretly on the line with Hojo for a long time?

"...Even putting aside the trick of the mystery novel itself, the profound social nature of this novel shocked me. What's even more incredible to me is that Mr. Hojo actually used a trick to connect everything together, making this boring story Boring stories are endlessly interesting to write.

This is the work that most truly made me feel the charm of the story!

On the contrary, "Yanxia" is really interesting to read. The author cleverly uses the fight between the two detectives in the novel to add a lot of readability to the work. However, I feel that the two detectives sometimes resemble the same person. This and the decryption It’s related to the nature of the film, but it’s more due to the young author’s lack of experience. I’m looking forward to Osaki-kun’s next works…”

It’s really shameless. When it comes to youth, who is younger than Hojo!

Nishizawao and Aisaka Tsuyoshi thought at the same time.

Tetsu Ogawa expressed his views on the five candidate works one by one, then tore the manuscript paper in his hand into pieces, and said to the clerk with a smile:

"I will submit a replacement later."

You can't take this out. If someone sees that it's full of praise for "Yuan Xia", they won't laugh.

The next person to stand up was Tsuyoshi Aisaka, who spoke more simply:

"I participated in the selection meeting to recommend "The Devotion of Suspect X". This is a genius work written by a genius author. I believe that any mystery novelist has thought about a question - how to create a genius detective . In the long years of writing, I came to several conclusions, but none of them were satisfactory. It was not until I read "The Devotion of Suspect X" by Mr. Hojo that I finally found the answer.

If you want to create a genius detective, you need a genius criminal!

Just like in American movies, the only ones who can solve super criminals are superheroes. This is in line with common sense. If a criminal uses a lame trick to commit a crime, no matter how excellent the detective's puzzle-solving process is, it does not prove his genius. On the other hand, a criminal with amazing talent appears, carrying a trick that even readers with God's vision find impeccable. Then who else can solve the case besides a genius?

"The Devotion of Suspect Later, Manabu Yukawa appeared as a detective, and he keenly discovered the flaw based on only a trivial detail, which also left readers with no doubt about his identity as a genius.

The collision of genius and genius makes me excited, and I believe every reader will have the same feeling as me..."

You really don’t have any shame, you guy...

Seeing Tsuyoshi Aisaka talking non-stop, everyone else in the conference room thought the same thing. Although this guy had clearly supported Hojo Kyousuke from the beginning and kept canvassing for the opponent's activities in the association, but now his performance is really too exaggerated.

Hum, I'm Hojo's good brother, want to jump in line? Go ahead and dream!

Tsuyoshi Aisaka glanced at Tetsu Ogawa calmly while reading his speech. The guy's shamelessness gave him a sense of crisis.

After all, in Hojo's new work "The Dream and Death of Writer K", apart from the protagonist's mother-in-law, the only person who was not killed by him was the judge who firmly supported a book from the beginning and paid no attention to the protagonist. Even until the end, writer K still came to the door, eager to get the other party's approval.

How similar is that judge to the current Tetsuya Ogawa?

However, this is not a good writer who has a bottom line and perseverance.

This is a scumbag, this is you in PUA, Hojo!

If you can write a character like that, you should be able to see through this! Never be fooled!

The clerk's hand was so cramped that he couldn't keep up with Tsuyoshi Aisaka's words, and finally gave up. It seemed that Teacher Aisaka would hand over the speech as soon as possible, and he might even check his records for errors.

But Aisaka has one good thing. In addition to praising Hojo Kyousuke's works like a fanatical believer, he went through the other four candidate works and picked up the advantages, and then talked about some insignificant shortcomings. To sum it up in one sentence:

At any other time, all four of you would have won the award, but unfortunately, it was Hojo Kyosuke you met.

It's a pity that you and Hojo Kyousuke live in the same era. At the same time, feel honored that you and Kyousuke Hojo are in the same era.

Seeing Aisaka sit down without saying anything, Kurokawa Toyoa tightened his grip on the speech in his hand. He also put a lot of thought into his evaluation of Hojo Kyousuke, thinking of bringing the two parties closer together in this way, and also trying to break the rumors online that he was a shady judge.

But his carefully crafted speech was no match for that guy Oosaka Tsuyoshi...

Asshole, you are so good at flattering, why don't you become a bureaucrat and become famous? What's the point of being a small writer here?

Thinking of this, Kurokawa Toyomasa stood up.

"...Even with a small flaw, this work still has a creepy power. It really depicts people who try to survive in this society and carves out the appearance of people committing crimes. For the author who took the murderer's cry for himself, there is no better reward than the Association Award."

Kurokawa Toyomasa sat down with a confident smile, thinking over and over again about his speech just now.

Well, it should be more sincere than that guy Oosaka Tsuyoshi.

So the clerk didn't receive the speech again, and until the end, he only had two speech manuscripts in his hand.

One was from Oosaka Tsuyoshi, praising Hojo Kyosuke's "The Devotion of Suspect X" to the utmost. A copy of Nishizawa Osamu's "The Devotion of Suspect X" was extremely critical of Hojo Kyosuke. It was not only the work itself, but also the author himself. It was so serious that the clerk didn't know whether to upload it to the website intact.

"Don't worry, just record it like this. There will be progress only when there is controversy. Doesn't this just show the fairness of our selection?"

Kitamura Kazuo said indifferently. In the National Assembly, the members who beat up the enemy for their own ruling philosophy will not only not be abandoned, but will be regarded as true to their nature by the people and loyal by the party. This principle is also applied to their small selection committee. If everyone praises every work like Osaka Tsuyoshi, the people will be suspicious.

This is just right, forming a sharp contrast.

As for whether Nishizawa Osamu will get into trouble because of that selection article in the future? What does it have to do with him? Now Kitamura Kazuo hates Nishizawa Osamu to death, because the other party dragged Tsuruta Masao out, making the originally simple selection extremely troublesome. Kitamura Kazuo couldn't help but feel a headache when he thought about what he might encounter at the award ceremony.

Even though the main enemy of Nishizawa's group was Hojo Kyosuke, as the chairman, he couldn't escape responsibility.

Damn it, he didn't get any benefits and got into trouble.

Kitamura Kazuo leaned back in his chair, his eyes were uncertain, and after a while he stood up suddenly as if he had made up his mind.
