Chapter 7: The Story of the Crab

Naha is the largest city in the Ryukyus, but in fact it is only 38 square kilometers, which is not even a district compared to some cities in China.

Dazato Village and Naha are only separated by a mountain, and although the level of prosperity seems to be two worlds, some things spread quickly.

"Did you hear that? Higashino bought a lot of novels. ”

"Wow, I saw the children of the Higashino family visiting the bookstore, and they were quite generous. ”

"Huh, why did you buy those books?"

"Isn't it a dream to be a novelist, haha......"

Higashino Qiang, the most handsome cub in Dazato Village, and the strongest student in Dazato.

The news of buying a large number of novels spread in Dali Village.

There's no way, the price here is like this, don't underestimate 10,000 yen, the Fukuzawa Yukichi on this doesn't appear often, this is a big ticket.

10,000 yen is equivalent to 100 dollars, you know, there are not many opportunities to get 100 dollars in the United States, go to a convenience store and pay 100 dollars, the clerk will look at the customer with strange eyes, let alone RB.

In RB's daily life, there is a high probability that the big ticket will appear is Higuchi Kazuha (5000), a well-known female writer in the Meiji period.

And the price of RB's books, on the whole, is quite expensive.

Fortunately, the most expensive ones are highly specialized books, such as college textbooks and art.

Novels are relatively cheap, usually priced at 500 to 1,000 yen per book, which is relatively higher than manga, and small manga are generally priced at 700 yen.

Of course, books are related to binding, typesetting, paper, etc., and the price varies a lot, but it is about 1,000 yen for a single mystery novel.

RB, no piracy.

At this price, Higashino didn't spend all 100,000 yen at once, he just spent 50,000 yen and got back 55 novels.

However, a junior high school student spends 50,000 yen at a time, which cannot but attract attention.

On April 3rd, Monday, classes officially began at Dali Middle School.

When Higashino Qiang came to the school, he felt a strange look in his eyes, and there were many voices behind him.

"Did you hear that? Higashino-kun actually wants to be a novelist. ”

"Isn't Higashino-kun without dreams?"

"Maybe I'm too shy to talk about it, but it's a hard dream for a novelist. ”

"That's too, but isn't it just for us?"

"Who knows, although I think Higashino-kun is handsome, but now I feel like a weirdo. ”

Dali Middle School is not very old, and it is now an era of declining birthrates, so it is said to be a third-grade class A, but in fact, it is such a class.

Such rumours spread very quickly, even ...

"Saikyo, why do you buy so many books?" asked Jun Hirano.

Fortunately, Higashino Qiang sat in the last row of the class, and Jun Hirano was in front of him, so it was not a big deal for the two of them to chat.

"This, hehe......" Higashino Qiang's response was to show his signature Buddhist smile.

"Higashino!" Obviously, Hirano was used to seeing this kind of smile, and he didn't let Higashino go there.

"This ......" Higashino Qiang had no choice but to spread his hands, "I'm just buying some books, is this illegal?"

This was true, but Hirano stretched out his finger and shook it.

"Saikyo, it's not a question of breaking the law or not. You've said before, you don't have dreams, but now you're ......" Hirano looked around, and the meaning was clear.

Then he said, "Do you really want to be a novelist? Wow, those kinds of people, they seem to be weirdos, and a lot of them are Obasan, Ojisan, you are young, why can't you think about it?" ”

Can't think of it......

"Hahaha......" Higashino laughed out loud.

This time, it attracted the attention of many students, and there was that uncomfortable feeling in their eyes.

Before the crossing, Higashino Qiang had also heard a lot of legends about RB, always saying that they were like quails, and even usually spoke in a small voice, but after the crossing, after living for so many years, maybe Dali Village is in the countryside, and it is not too serious to be louder.

Now, something is different.

"Saikyo ......" Hirano is not complaining about Higashino's laughter, he wants to talk about Higashino's attitude.

Higashino Qiang interrupted him, "Ah Chun, don't worry, I won't be weird." ”

"Really?" Hirano was a little incredulous.

But at this time, the teacher Dahe walked in.

"It's class!"

"Ceremony!"

There was a squad leader who led everyone to stand up and salute, as if everything was as usual.

It's just that Higashino Qiang keenly caught the gaze of Mr. Ogawa.

This time, it's not sympathy, it's complicated.

Hirano suddenly turned his head and whispered.

"Saikyo, you're not going to buy any more books. ”

"In class, pay attention. ”

Higashino actually understands that he made a small mistake this time.

......

The sea breeze has a faint salty taste.

With this taste, Higashino Qiang put the last piece of bread into his mouth.

It seems that this can make the red bean paste inside taste better.

“saikyo!”

The voice was very abrupt, and even frightened Higashino Qiang, but fortunately, the shell of his Buddha system was not damaged.

"Mr. Keigo, it's rude for you to suddenly appear. ”

This is the roof of the school building of Dazato Junior High School, and it is indeed surprising that Keigo Higashino is a spirit now, and he can appear here.

However, Keigo Higashino seemed to be even more surprised, "Hey, don't you want to ask me why I can appear in broad daylight?"

yes, that's definitely an important question.

But Dong Yeqiang smiled: "Do you still need to ask? According to what happened before, I can already judge that you can just appear outside in broad daylight." ”

"Huh?" Keigo Higashino had a wonderful expression on his face.

But I heard Higashino Qiang say: "According to what you said, you saw that sign on April 1st, and you found me, so you came with me, right......?

Keigo Higashino gave a thumbs up, "What a great reasoning ability." ”

"It's over. Higashino was modest.

Although the person in front of him is a resentful spirit, he should also be one of the best mystery writers, so how can his reasoning ability be poor.

However, then, Keigo Higashino made his words clear, "Saikyo, what are you going to do in this situation now?"

Originally, he wanted to talk about it again, but Higashino asked rhetorically, "Mr. Keigo, you should have expected this to happen early on, right?" ”

"Haha......" Oni laughed, and Keigo Higashino nodded. "Yes, I did think about it early on, because that's the fate of the rumored novelist. ”

Destiny?

Higashino didn't care so much, he just smiled and said, "You want to test me, right?"

Mr. Keigo nodded again, "Clever little ghost, however, you obviously don't have a good grasp of human nature, and this is the case in the RB country, when people see someone who is different from most people, they will target this person in a strange way.

Novelists are different from other people, everyone else wears formal clothes for work, while novelists are very casual and casual, everyone else is buried in hard work, but novelists are often very laid-back.

This difference is more like a kind of 'out of order', and in RB, I am afraid that the most difficult thing to be accepted by the public is the out-of-order behavior. ”

To put it simply, in the eyes of others, you are a guy who doesn't do your job.

After hearing this, Higashino made a direct extension, "That is to say, a novelist, he is likely to endure the strange eyes of others all his life, no matter how great his achievements are." ”

"Exactly. The look on Mr. Keigo's face also became serious, "Moreover, this time you can do a trial, and now you are just a middle school student, and the strange gaze you have to face at this time is still very ordinary."

Saikyo, the two of us are working hard for the same dream, but whether we can succeed or not, I don't know what your true ability is. Although I, Keigo Higashino, didn't really win the Ranbu Reward, but I also went to the last step, and the gaze I faced at that time was not the same as what you are now, can you bear it?"

Higashino Qiang looked at this resentful spirit and smiled: "Sure enough, you are not so easy to assist willingly. ”

As if he had seen through his thoughts, Mr. Keigo looked at the smiling faces of the middle school students in front of him and was a little annoyed, "You just said it, what the hell should you do?, can you make it through?!"

Higashino Qiang's smile deepened at this time, but he said something very strange, "Mr. Keigo, have you ever heard a story? A story about crabs." ”

"Story, crab?" said Mr. Keigo, surprised.

......

Jun Hirano was a little worried about his friend, and when he was having lunch at noon, he wanted to find Higashino, but he couldn't find it for a while.

Fortunately, he knew his friend better, so he came to the top of the building.

"Saikyo, you...... Are you alright?"

"Oh, nothing, what's wrong with you?"

"Haha, I'm fine, that thing ......"

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it. ”

"Si Guoyi. ”

"You're calling me?"

"Haha......"

The two of them were talking as usual, but what Hirano saw before was that Higashino Qiang was talking to himself in the air.

Something could have happened to him, right?

Hurt by this kind of behind-the-scenes words from your classmates, right?

God, please don't let Higashino-kun go crazy, he's a good guy.

Hirano chose not to tell his inner thoughts, he wanted to help his friend silently.

But by the time the whole class came back before the first class started in the afternoon...

"Ladies and gentlemen, there is one thing I would like to say. ”

Higashino Qiang, from the last row, walked to the podium.

This move attracted everyone's attention.

What is he going to do?

I bought so many books and spent so much money before, what did I do?

Many of the students were stunned, including Hirano.

After Higashino finished speaking, regardless of the reaction of his classmates, he picked up the chalk and wrote a few big words on the blackboard.

Here's what these big words look like:

My dream, novelist!

The last point of the exclamation point is very heavy.

Then, he turned his head and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is what I want to say, my dream." ”

After speaking, the class was silent.

It wasn't until Mr. Dahe appeared and saw this scene that he was also stunned.

"Mr. Taihe, I'll wipe it off, by the way, I want to take a leave of absence and go buy books"

"This ...... Good. ”

In this way, Higashino Qiang left the classroom and went to Naha again.

......

Mr. Keigo stood on the roof of the building and never left, and the story was in his mind.

Higashino Qiang said this:

In China, people who live by the sea will go to catch the sea, which is an activity where they can pick up some seafood from the beach.

Seafood is actually seafood, shellfish and crabs on the beach.

They will bring a bamboo basket for seafood, but if they find a crab, then after picking up the bamboo basket, they have to cover the basket, if they encounter a large number of crabs, it will be convenient, this basket does not need to be covered.

In the basket, a crab can crawl out, but a bunch of crabs, but no one can climb out, every crab actually wants to climb out, but they all step on each other.

Thinking about it, a smile appeared on Mr. Keigo's face.

This guy wouldn't treat them all like crabs...
