Chapter 81: Higashino-san, please help me compete for the Akutagawa Prize!
Ah~ha~
Higashino yawned mightily.
To be honest, writing two novels at the same time, and also studying hard, plus participating in comic book adaptations.
There is also the screenwriting work introduced by Kazuaki Takano, which has not officially started, but it is just around the corner.
These really made Higashino's high school life very fulfilling.
But it's also really tiring.
But there is no way, since he has chosen this path, he has to persevere.
On weekdays, Higashino Qiang is an ordinary high school student.
The first-year course at Tsuruoka High School is okay, even if he yawns in class, so be it.
Jingle bell, the bell rings for the end of class.
"Some people must be happy to hear this. Mr. Mizutani's cold sarcasm made the students laugh.
"Haha...... Higashino, you must be playing a game. ”
"I think he's definitely studying behind the scenes. ”
"Didn't you read until dawn?"
Faced with these words, Higashino Qiang had no choice but to respond with a smile.
Seriously, although above the opening ceremony, Higashino Qiang performed very well.
But it still can't completely get rid of the reality of being run.
Well, if you're from Okinawa, it's impossible for you not to be black.
Moreover, there is a characteristic of Okinawa being hacked, that is, the whole RB is spraying Okinawans, lazy.
Higashino's strong performance just now just gave these people a chance.
As for this Mizutani, who teaches mathematics, his hair is combed very neatly on weekdays, and he wears a neat and well-fitting suit.
Higashino didn't care, he was prepared for this situation, just treat it as a bunch of fools.
It's not worth wasting time with them.
After class, it's time for lunch break.
It's okay to eat something and take a break.
But he didn't want to, Higashino Qiang, who just wanted to walk out of the classroom, was stopped by a person.
Take a bow!
"Higashino-san, please accept my sincere apologies!"
"Huh, apologize?"
Higashino Qiang was very confused, because the person in front of him was Lisa Yamada.
What is there to apologize...... Oh oh, thought of it.
That time in the activity room of the literary club, about the question of milk.
But Higashino Qiang didn't go to his heart, so he cared.
"It's okay. ”
That's it.
But then.
Lisha Yamada looked up and said solemnly, "Please go to the top of the building with Higashino-san, I want to talk." ”
Talk about?
I brushed it, and I don't know how many pairs of eyes looked at it.
Asano, who was in the same class as Higashino Qiang, couldn't help but smile when he saw this scene.
"Higashino-kun, you really can do it. "Spit out quietly.
Higashino Qiang wanted to scold, what to do, I'm confused now.
Hurriedly said to Lisa Yamada: "Actually, that ......"
"You're not going to come, are you?" said Lisa Yamada with a determination that was impossible to refuse.
Higashino Qiang himself was also curious, "Can you let me have lunch?"
"I prepared a bento. ”
What else can I do?
I can only talk.
When the students saw this, they had a lot of discussions.
"Ahhh......h
"What's the situation?"
"Lisa-chan actually prepared a bento for Higashino?"
"A lazy guy from Okinawa has surpassed me, woo woo ......"
But I saw Yamada Lisa turn around and said very solemnly.
"What I talked to Higashino about was a very serious matter, but it has nothing to do with others, so please don't speculate. ”
He saluted again.
......
The rooftops of RB schools are almost all multi-purpose.
Some have built basketball courts, while others have small playgrounds.
The place is small, so you can only use it as much as possible.
Walking up the stairs, Lisa Yamada couldn't help but think back to that night.
Under the dim street lamp, two female high school students walked slowly.
"Senpai, why did you get ...... from Higashino-san"
"What's wrong with that?"
"Senpai shouldn't be like this. ”
"That's who you think I am, right?"
"Senpai! No. ”
"I understand, but doesn't everyone think I deserve the Akutagawa Prize?
"Senpai......"
"Lisa-chan, thank you very much, really appreciate it. ”
"Senior sister, I have read your words, I can see your person, your heart from your words!"
"Lisa-chan, don't be stupid, I can't see my heart myself, let alone you. ”
"Senpai......"
The shadows of the two people became very strange, one was stretched by the street lamp, and the other was not changing.
"It's okay. Well, Lisa-chan, goodbye. ”
......
Higashino Qiang and Yamada Risa came to the rooftop.
The weather was sunny and sunny.
The two found a shady place, and Lisa Yamada carefully arranged her short skirt before sitting down.
I took out the bento.
"That...... Either you eat mine, or that's it. ”
The girl's bento is quite small and exquisite, and in addition, it is a small cloth wrap.
Higashino Qiang smiled, "I bought it at a convenience store temporarily, I guess it is impossible for you to prepare it deliberately." ”
"You ......" Lisa Yamada hated the feeling of being seen through the most, "I'll make it up!"
Now, Higashino Qiang has seen her through.
That's right, specially prepare a bento, that will be seen by my mother.
I will definitely ask if I have a boyfriend.
It's embarrassing.
I can tolerate the speculative eyes of my classmates, but forget about my mother's.
Sure enough, Higashino opened the small package, and inside was two 7-11 rice balls.
This thing actually tastes okay, there is fish or something in it, and the taste is okay.
So he picked it up, and he was really hungry.
"What the hell are you going to talk about?" Higashino said in a vague voice.
Lisa Yamada was a little amused by his appearance, but she still ate her lunch box without hurry, and ate a crispy sausage before saying, "Higashino-san, what do you think of Senior Sister Kanehara?"
"How's that?"
"I'd like to hear what you think. ”
"I can't see through her. ”
"Oh. ”
Lisha Yamada didn't expect Higashino to say that.
According to her reasoning, Higashino Qiang is likely to say that Kanehara is a very dissolute woman.
What would a high school girl be like if she could write a novel like that?
However, I can't see through a sentence, which makes Yamada Lisa very curious.
I didn't eat the bento for now, just stared at him.
Higashino has a good appetite, but to be honest, the amount of food here in RB Tokyo fully reflects the inferior nature of capitalism.
These two rice balls are at most three points full.
When he lost weight, he naturally did not ignore Lisa Yamada's eyes.
"You want to ask me why I can't see through it, right? Actually, it's very simple, Kanehara is there, but I always feel that she doesn't seem to be there, and even she seems to be far away from us. I have read her writing, it is indeed concise and vivid, it is very direct to write the story, and it is meaningful and very powerful. But ......"
Suddenly, Lisa Yamada took over, "However, it seems that these words were not written by her. ”
Higashino nodded, "That's right, that's how it feels." ”
Jin Yuanjing's work is indeed a very bold and direct description of a certain aspect, but in fact, this style runs through the entire article, but there is a particularly strange place.
It's clearly written in the first person 'I', but it makes people feel that this is 'she'.
Third person.
This is not a novelty, or rather, many newbies make this mistake.
But it gives people a different feeling.
In addition, after contacting this person, Higashino Qiang really felt that he didn't see this senior sister clearly.
So...
"You want to talk about Jin Yuanjing?"
Yamada Lisha suddenly stood up and bowed very solemnly to Higashino-san, "Higashino-san, I want to ask for your help, help me and help Jinyuan-senpai, find her self again, okay?"
Finding yourself?
After hearing this, Higashino Qiang didn't know what to do and the expression on his face was good, "Yamada-san, this request of yours is too literary." ”
Yes, it's really literary.
Lisa Yamada's face flushed, "But that's really how I feel, I look at the words of the senior sister, what I see is a doll without a soul, no, it should be said that there are also some souls, this doll's means are superb, but it makes people can't see her true heart." ”
As soon as these words came out, Higashino was stunned.
He doesn't seem to understand until now that Mr. Ogagawa's entrustment is likely to have a purpose with Yamada Lisa.
"Okay, I can help. "Since, everyone's purpose is similar, Higashino Qiang is not such a stubborn person.
"Thank you, Higashino-san! I'm so sorry for all this before!" Yamada Risa bowed again.
Higashino had no choice but to shake his hand, in fact, in his opinion, it was equivalent to an extra helper, "So, what can you do?"
"I had a bold idea. Suddenly, Lisha Yamada said this.
Higashino Qiang couldn't hold back for a while, and continued, "Yamada-san, unless you are gone, I don't think there is anything bold." ”
What is the ......
"Why are you so obscene!" Lisa Yamada angrily didn't fight.
"I just wanted to liven up the atmosphere. Higashino admitted that he really just wanted to be funny, "Aren't we already in an alliance?"
Yamada Lisha suddenly said, "Higashino-san, do you know why I keep going against you?"
"This ......" Higashino Qiang churned in his heart.
Is the truth coming?
It's certainly not a kindergarten kiss, is it?
I didn't expect it.
"You promise me not to be so obscene anymore, to be a good person, and I will tell you why. ”
"Huh?"
Higashino Qiang now finally understands that communicating with this woman is really not a comfortable experience.
I've always been a good person, haven't I?
"Isn't it okay to be joking?"
"No way!"
"Well, I'm not joking anymore, actually, Yamada-san, I hardly joke with you. ”
Higashino agreed.
Lisa Yamada looked at him and said very seriously, "Do you remember that day? ”
"This ......," Higashino suddenly remembered, "You hit my backpack on purpose?"
That,The girl who almost ruined Mr. Uigo's plan.。
"Yes, that's me. Lisa Yamada graciously admitted.
"Why? You ......" Higashino couldn't help it, he couldn't tell the truth.
But I heard Lisa Yamada say, "Who told you to say that kind of thing? What do you mean by just soaking the girl over, and then getting rid of it! Why do you want to do this? You are obviously a handsome and sunny guy, why do you say such obscene things!"
The truth turned out to be like this.
But Higashino's words at that time were aimed at something even more unbearable.
Wait a minute, were you praised or scolded just now?
But after Lisa Yamada finished speaking, she actually cried.
This scene made Higashino Qiang decide one thing.
In front of him, the real literary and artistic beautiful girl is an existence that he absolutely can't understand.
Then, Lisha Yamada wiped her tears and said very solemnly: "I know that Senior Sister wants to win the Akutagawa Award, and even she said that everyone hopes that she can win the award, so she will do what everyone wants." I don't want to see her like this, living for other people's preferences, I want to protect her.
Higashino-san, please help me get the Akutagawa Prize!"
