Vinci is already a master of science fiction.

He beat J.K. Rowling.

He has already won several Hugo Awards.

His fame spread by word of mouth among science fiction enthusiasts.

The only regret is that not many of his works have been adapted into film and television dramas.

But it's nothing, after all, he's not bad for money.

This time, "The End of the Rainbow" was shortlisted for the Hugo Award again, which is of course related to his years of accumulation.

Basically, in science fiction circles, many readers don't even have to look at him to vote.

It's a real thing to be proud of.

However, Wenqi is a master figure after all, and he will not be any better than that.

In addition, the fact that this science fiction convention was held in Japan is really a novelty.

Of course, people like Vinki have been to Japan, and Americans are probably the most travelers in the world, and of course, they have also left a bad reputation in the world, and according to reliable data, Americans are the most hated tourists.

Hah, that's nothing.

Vinci had been to Japan before, and he knew a little bit about Japan, the food was very good, very healthy, and a lot of things were done very well.

This is the opposite of the United States, where everything feels very coarse.

So, what about the one in front of you?

Author: Kigo, "Tokyo Lift".

The name is very simple, it is the future of the city now.

According to the routine of science fiction, then, this should be the same as his own "End of the Rainbow", which is also a future world written.

Lifting?

In other words, will Tokyo's future rise and fall?

Ha ha......

Before he could read it, Vinci had already made such an inference.

A smug smile appeared on his face.

Flip it over, and sure enough.

From a science fiction point of view, the beginning of this "Tokyo Lift" is not very new.

It's quite a sci-fi genre, and the feeling of the end of the world.

It's just that it hasn't reached the end of the world yet, and Tokyo is about to collapse due to the influx of people from all over Japan.

Oh, and it went up and down.

Then, it has something to do with the well-known animation "EVA".

That's a bit of a novelty, isn't it?

Vinci continued to look down.

The more he looked, the more surprised he became.

It turns out that this one is not some post-apocalyptic science fiction.

......

"Audience friends, today is the first day of the World Science Fiction Convention, and Kamakura brings you a live interview. ”

The World Science Fiction Convention, even if it is not very serious, but when it comes to Japan, then Japan has to make a lot of reactions.

We will strive to make it a world-class conference.

So, Chiaki Kamakura of NHK TV came to report again.

It must be said that Kamakura has not been in great form in recent days, but she has not said anything.

But this time the report is still not too much of a problem.

After all, it's very simple, and in addition, the interview is even simpler.

"Oh, science fiction, in fact, in terms of the definition of science fiction in Europe and the United States, many of our Japanese works can be recognized as science fiction, such as "Ghoul", which can be regarded as science fiction ......."

Mr. Junichi Watanabe also came to the scene, and as one of the collaborators of this conference, he should have come.

As for being interviewed, that's normal, after all, he's famous enough, but the "Ghoul" he is talking about now is the work of the famous family, Yumi Ono, and her husband is also famous, the famous Ayatsuji pedestrian, the author of "The Clock Museum Incident".

Mr. Watanabe talks about the definition of science fiction from a professional point of view, which is really interesting, in the European and American literary circles, many genres are regarded as science fiction, such as "Harry Potter", and some anime, "Superman", "Hulk", "Wolverine" or something.

That's right, Marvel and DC are really science fiction, although they are not very reliable from a scientific point of view, even immortals or something, but think about it, Harry and He Min chanting spells are science fiction, and it's nothing.

So, by this deduction, many anime in Japan can be regarded as science fiction.

"Does Naruto count?"

"Of course, ninjutsu technology is our Japanese specialty. ”

"So, what about One Piece?"

"Of course. ”

When Kamakura heard this, she wanted to laugh.

She didn't want to complain, but from a general point of view, she really felt that such an anime had nothing to do with science fiction.

But now that that's the case, ......

Mr. Junichi Watanabe was about to continue the explanation, but at this moment, a person appeared.

This person knew at first glance that he was a foreigner, and when he looked at it again, he immediately knew that he must be a programmer.

And then......

"Excuse me, is it Mr. Watanabe?"

"Oh, it's me...... Oh, you're Mr. Vinci, fortunately. ”

Junichi Watanabe deserves to have some connections in the United States, and he can recognize it at a glance, and he is very fluent in English, although it is still the uncomfortable spoken language of the Japanese style, but it is okay.

Chiaki Kamakura came to do the interview, and of course she was prepared enough, knowing that this big hit was a home called Vinki.

So, is this the one in front of you?

Hurriedly sent the microphone over, and the photographer over there also understood, and immediately cooperated.

But Wen Qi said a little anxiously: "Mr. Watanabe, can you let me meet the author of this book, Mr. Kigo?"

This scene is so interesting.

Everyone present was taken aback, and everyone could see clearly that what Wen Qi was holding in his hand was Mr. Kigo's "Tokyo Lift".

The normal reaction of human beings, everyone will think: Could it be that the works of Mr. Ghost Go, even his strongest opponent has been conquered?

Junichi Watanabe smiled when he saw this, he knew that the opportunity had come, and as for Mr. Kigo, it was better to deal with it himself.

"Mr. Wenqi, Mr. Kigo is still quite busy, look, is he not there?"

"Hmm......" Wen Qi didn't know how to answer.

He also knows a little bit that the author of Onigo is more strange, and he likes to wear a helmet to meet people.

There really is no such person now, so ...

Junichi Watanabe continued, "Well, Mr. Bunki, you must want to ask about this, right?"

"YES!" Vinc nodded of course.

Junichi Watanabe knew that this was the case, he, he was already thinking about it in his heart, so he said with a smile: "Mr. Wenqi, it's nothing if you can't find the ghost, I've also seen this one, I've been in contact with the ghost, and it's familiar, if you think it's okay, why don't you replace the ghost?"

That's a strange thing to say.

Because, Higashino Qiang is standing not far away.

What about Vinci?

"Great!"

Put.

At least that's what Watanabe-sensei meant in the eyes he gave Higashino Qiang.

What else can Higashino Qiang say?

Wenqi left with Watanabe-sensei.

In this way, the first day of the World Science Fiction Convention passed like this.

The next day.

That is, the last day of this science fiction convention.

It is also the most critical voting day.

Wuyang Wuyang, there are still a lot of people here.

Many of them are blonde foreigners on the Japanese side...... Well, they're more popular.

After all, Japan is a country that is also super admiring foreigners.

But!

There was such a news that spread among the crowd.

"Verno Vinci seems to agree with Kigo-sensei's work!"

"Have all the opponents been conquered?"

"I've heard that Vinki himself is ready to vote for Mr. Uigo. ”

"Really? So...... How did I hear that it was, Wen Qi bowed to Mr. Kigo, and said that this was the best science fiction he had ever seen. ”

Spread this ... Actually, it's a rumor.

Rumors are a fun thing, and sometimes, they start out very small.

It's like a butterfly flapping its wings in Australia, but it turns into a typhoon.

It's a lot like oh.

At the beginning, of course, it was the interaction between Wenqi and Watanabe-sensei, and this interaction was recorded by the camera, and Chiaki Kamakura was also interviewed.

However, because it has something to do with Mr. Ghost Go, Wenqi took the book "Tokyo Lift".

Then, of course, there will be a statement that Wenqi is interested in the works of Mr. Kigo.

This is perfectly normal.

However, as it spreads, it changes.

This is especially true in Japan, where they have a unique secondary culture.

So, the more you talk about it, the more it exaggerates.

But fortunately, someone is rational.

For example, Mr. Onigo.

"Master, yesterday's situation, Mr. Watanabe took Mr. Wenqi away, what do you think will happen after that?"

Of course, Genos also appeared, but right now, he was facing a helmeted ghost.

So, how does Onigo-sensei answer?

Higashino Qiang blushed a little under the mask and said, "What else can happen? Of course, it's a serious discussion of literature." ”

Well, after all, Genos always calls himself master, and Higashino Qiang feels that he can't teach him badly.

It is more likely that Watanabe-sensei will visit Ginza with foreign guests, and then Vinki will drift to Tokyo and lose contact...

No, probably not.

At least I can't say that, right?

However, Hiroshi Kanzaki looked very strange.

Everyone......

"Today is the final key, let's continue to canvass for votes!" said Genos, blushing.

This...... Doesn't it seem like it needs to be taught?

But just when the Hugo Awards are about to come to fruition...

"Everyone!"

Vinci appeared!

The event was held at Big-Sight, which was a really big place, but because the Hugo Awards were going to be announced, a small stage was set up in the center.

It can be seen as a podium.

And Vinci appeared on this podium.

So, what exactly is he trying to say?

Nearly 10,000 eyes at the scene converged on Wen Qi's body.

I saw him hold up the "Tokyo Lift", hold the microphone and say, "I just want to say one thing, Mr. Kigo, thank you very much for writing this!"

PS: The third more sends, it's really not easy, I may have a cold in the black car, and the weather has been ...... recently. The heating here is really not good, and it is estimated that I will have to wait a few days, speechless.
