Chapter 6: I Want to Be a Novelist!

Novelist?

Steel and Chiyo only now understand that it turned out that their children just now were talking about ambitions.

Wait a minute, novelist?

Higashino Steel hadn't reacted yet, but Chiyo of the Higashino family came right away.

"Kid, you're not trying to kill yourself, are you?"

Suicide?

This is definitely not a joke.

It's the year 2000, and the RB writers of the last century, especially the well-known writers, all end up committing suicide.

Ryunosuke Akutagawa, Osamu Dazai, Yukio Mishima, Yasunari Kawabata.

These four are particularly famous, arguably the most dazzling in the RB literary world, and more than 20 novelists have also ended their lives.

So, the mother's worries are justified.

Saying this, Father Gang was also a little anxious, "Child, can you change the goal, even if you don't do anything, our small shop can still make a living." ”

After hearing this, Higashino had no choice but to smile helplessly, and he said two points.

"Father and mother, now it is a flat job. ”

The ages are different.

"I'm going to write a mystery novel, this kind of novel is not the same as those writers, Mr. Edogawa Ranbu, he didn't commit suicide, right? Moreover, this kind of novel is more profitable. ”

Heisei is nothing, but as soon as he heard about making money, the steel and Chiyo of the Higashino family came to the spirit.

Higashino Steel: "Really?"

Higashino: "Of course. ”

Chiyo: "Son, you're not going to lie to your mother, are you?"

Higashino Qiang: "Mom, how is this possible?"

Higashino Gang: "But 300,000 is really not a small number. ”

Higashino Qiang: "Dad, I am confident that I will return the money at the end of the year." ”

Chiyo: "Ah, kid, really? It's too hard, isn't it?"

Higashino Qiang: "There are two ways to make money, one is to publish, and the other is that I will participate in the Ranbu Reward, as long as I get the Ranbu Reward, there will be a lot of bonuses, so I will pay back the money in May next year at the latest." ”

Higashino and his wife listened to it with a burning heart, as if they would see a lot of Fukuzawa Yukichi coming to the door tomorrow.

Fortunately, they also knew that it was not so easy to publish a book and win an award, and after giving the money, they asked Higashino to stop putting so much pressure on themselves.

300,000 in hand, Higashino Qiang has a feeling of 'hope for the whole village'.

So how do you use 300,000?

Higashino's plan is like this.

......

Having obtained thirty copies of Fukuzawa Yukichi, Higashino returned to his bedroom.

The resentful spirit Keigo Higashino has reappeared.

"Of them, 100,000 come to buy books, mystery novels, and the rest I have other uses. ”

"Saikyo, why are you doing this?"

"Mr. Keigo, don't you really understand? Our novels will have to be sold for money before we get the Ranbu reward. ”

"Out of the book?" Mr. Keigo, lost in thought, "what do you think ......"

Higashino Qiang simply told his plan.

"Mr. Keigo, I am a junior high school student, and this year I am facing the problem of going on to higher education. Before you appeared, I even thought about going to a public high school, and you should understand it, if you enter a public high school, then there is basically no hope of going to university, so ......"

When Mr. Keigo heard this, he basically understood, so he interrupted: "I understand, Higashino is the strongest, and your plan is to let this novel be published first, so as to earn tuition for private high schools." ”

Higashino nodded, he didn't need to hide the thought, "That's it." ”

However, Mr. Keigo was very angry and said angrily: "But in this way, it will put our award-winning plan at risk! If this book is published before the Ranbu Award, it will be commented on by the readers, and if there are too many bad reviews, then what will the judges of the Ranbu Award think of the book? Moreover, there is another key factor, that is, the Ranbu Award itself has the intention of encouraging newcomers, so if our novel sells well, it will also reduce the possibility of winning the award. ”

Higashino Qiang listened, but still nodded.

Mr. Keigo was right.

From the perspective of winning awards alone, it is completely possible to send the original manuscript of the book to the jury, so that it is an absolute newcomer and new book.

And the book is not actually published, and the judges of the Ranbu Award are the first reviewers, and their hearts will be much more comfortable.

In fact, this situation is more common in RB.

Higashino Qiang thought of a comic, "The King of Comics".

The description of the comic industry here is very close to reality, and many comic book authors have debuted with some awards.

New wife Eiji, Ajo Mumeha.

Even Ken Ohata, the original artist of the manga, is the same.

In RB, comics and novels have a lot of similarities in the industry.

Even the price is about the same.

Mr. Keigo wants to dispel his resentment, isn't he just trying to reward him?

Therefore, he will oppose any event that reduces the possibility of winning the award.

However, now Higashino is strong, and there is no other choice.

He had to convince Mr. Keigo.

But...

"Don't publish! don't publish......"

"Hey, Mr. Keigo, are you ripe, okay?" is buzzing in my ears......"

"Even if you call me a fly, I won't stop! Anyway, I can't help you, and you can't help me, haha...... If you don't agree, I'll keep muttering in your ear. ”

"You are Laipi, why are you so shameless? Please be a dignified spirit, okay?"

"I'm going to give you a reward! What is dignity?

"Mr. Higashino, who died because of melon skin, smelly, shameless, Mr. Keigo. ”

"Ha!Saikyo, Si Kokuichi, sanQ......"

Damn, this ghost is tough to deal with!

One person and one ghost, this bickering is quite at the level of the third grade of primary school.

Fortunately, Higashino is a person with a way, although he would love to move up to the level of the fourth grade.

Let's kill it.

"The pen name, also called Keigo Higashino. ”

Moment.

"Saikyo! Everything is up to you! I, Keigo Higashino, will definitely use all my strength to help you! Not only will we get the Ranbu reward, but I, Keigo Higashino, will die...... Oh, like I'm dead...... But my name can still shine on the literary world of RB!"

It's so real, it changes face in an instant.

But this result is of course, and Higashino Qiang knew that it would be like this.

The temptation of a pen name is enormous.

Mr. Keigo is already a spirit, what else can he do?

If his name could still be sung, it would be the best thing for a spirit.

Then this matter is accurate.

"Let's publish first. ”

"No problem!"

Higashino Qiang looked at Mr. Keigo, who was already obedient, and he showed the money he had just gotten, "Mr. Keigo, have you seen the 300,000?"

"This ......," Mr. Keigo didn't quite understand.

Dong Yeqiang's tone was flat, but his attitude was extremely serious: "This 300,000 yuan is extremely precious in our family! This is what my parents don't know how long they have been saving up! I was even surprised to get it so easily, then, I must not waste it!"

Mr. Keigo was shocked by Higashino's momentum and was speechless.

Higashino said in a firmer tone, "Mr. Keigo, from today onwards, I will work hard for my dream. Living with dreams, such a person can be called a dream eater, and the Buddhist teenager in Dali does not exist at this moment! I swear to you, a resentful spirit, that I will eradicate anything that hinders me from realizing my dream! Even by any means! This 300,000 yuan is my only chance, do you understand?"

While speaking, Higashino Qiang thought in his heart that if he couldn't write the novel, then he would have to go to Tokyo to be a cowherd.

Keigo Higashino nodded solemnly.

"I understand, Saikyo, your dream is also my dream, and I, Keigo Higashino, will definitely do my best to support you!"

"Mr. Keigo, you have to remember that you are assisting me!"

"Saikyo, don't worry, I knew my situation early on!"

One person and one ghost, an incomparably strange combination has established a relationship with each other.

The two of them will fight for a common dream.

Now, start the plan to win the Ranbu Reward.

The details of this plan, Higashino Qiang didn't say, and Higashino Keigo didn't ask.

The first step is to buy a book.

Mystery Fiction.

"Mr. Edogawa Ranbu's book must be bought. The work of a master of social reasoning like Matsumoto Kiyohari is definitely not to be missed, and although I have always felt that he writes too dryly, I do like his stories. Also, at the time of my death, Shoji Shimada was a very active novelist......"

Sure enough, having a ghost to help is different, and Keigo Higashino keeps giving advice.

Higashino forcibly set off and went to Naha.

PS: Thank you very much, I didn't expect so many friends to support the book in just three days, I will work the black car, in addition, let's talk about it first, this book will be more literary and artistic, life flow, as for other ...... Don't call me an old driver.,My black car is really innocent.,By the way,During the public version.,It's two changes a day.,Please understand.。
