Chapter 111: Delusion
"Hello Aoyama Abbot, my name is Keisuke Atami and I am a professional mystery novelist. The young man in front of him introduced himself very solemnly.
In RB, mystery novels are very popular, and it can even be said that the largest market for mystery novels in the world is currently in RB, and even the birthplace of mystery novels in the United Kingdom does not have such a large audience for mystery novels as RB, which can be seen from RB's more than 400 awards for mystery novels every year and a large number of film and television dramas adapted from mystery novels, so RB's professional mystery novelists are also the most in the world.
But this doesn't mean that it's easy to mix in the RB mystery novel writer's profession, although there is a high-income god like Keigo Higashino, there are more low-level mystery fiction writers who can't make ends meet or even support themselves, and it's not even as easy to get ahead as a manga artist.
And this Keisuke Atami is such a hot-blooded young man who rashly resigned and went to the sea to become a professional mystery novelist after winning the Shueisha Best Newcomer Award once, but Aoyama still replied to him with a face: "Oh, it turned out to be Mr. Atami, speaking of which, I also like mystery novels, but it's a pity that I haven't read your work." ”
In fact, Aoyama is just a polite word, but I didn't expect this Keisuke Atami to actually take out a book from his handbag and hand it to Aoyama: "It's okay Master Aoyama, this is my award-winning work "The Poem of Striking Iron" last year, and I will give it to you here." ”
Aoyama took it and flipped through it, and then complained in his heart, oh my God! What age is this, there are still people writing this kind of tough guy mystery novel, please, big brother, this is RB not the United States, you don't write good book reasoning or social reasoning actually write tough guy school, no wonder your books are so unsold that you can take them out of your handbag and give them away, and I don't know what the judges of Shueisha think, and they will actually make this kind of book a newcomer award, is it because the writing is good?
Although he complained frantically in his heart, on the surface, Qingshan still replied politely: "Okay, okay, I must read it carefully when I have time." Then he immediately changed the subject: "I don't know what Atami-sama-chan you are looking for me today?"
At this time, Keisuke Atami, who was still extremely confident just now, suddenly became shy and shy, and said with some embarrassment: "Well, it's such an abbot of Aoyama, the magazine has recently given me a new editor-in-charge, and this editor in charge is a very kind, beautiful, and empathetic girl, I, I think she seems to have a good impression of me, and I also have a good impression of her, so, So I want to confess to her the next time we meet, but I don't know if she will accept it, so I want you to help me do the math, okay?"
Hearing this request, Aoyama can be said to be quite shocked, oh my God, it's 2008 now, and there are still such boys who dare not confess in the open and unspeakable country of RB? Combined with the completely outdated tough guy mystery novel he wrote. OH MY GOD!
Because since entering 2008, Aoyama has begun to deliberately restrain the frequency of his use of Buddhist calculations, and more often he wants to try to use his ability to reason and guess, but he can't use calculations anymore, so Aoyama thought for a while and asked: "Eh, Mr. Atami, you said that this editor has a good impression of you, so how did you come to this conclusion?"
"Because she always looked at me with that kind of admiration and admiration every time she was with me, she praised each of my works from the bottom of her heart, and she also expressed in the email that she liked to be with me, so I think she should have a good impression of me. By the end, Keisuke Atami had lowered his head in embarrassment.
In his previous life, as a part-time online writer, Aoyama also had contact with many editors, including beautiful editors, but this cannot be compared with Atami's situation at the moment, because these are completely different things, unless the online writer is a god, he needs to please the editor, after all, people have the power to recommend.
In RB, especially in the mystery fiction and comic book worlds, the status of famous or best-selling novelists in front of the editor is quite high, and the editor not only has to call the teacher, beg for the sake of urging the manuscript, and even the editor proposes to the female writer in order to ask for the manuscript (this is true), which is described in many of Conan's episodes.
"Oh, can you show me that email?"
"I didn't bring my laptop with me, but the email is very short, and I can write it down to you. With that, Keisuke Atami took out a pen and paper from his handbag and began to write silently.
Qingshan sighed, he can memorize it, which shows how many times this guy has to read this email, not to mention anything else, this guy alone is enough to choke.
Just when Aoyama was thinking wildly, Keisuke Atami handed the note with the contents of the email written to Aoyama, and Aoyama opened it and saw that it read: "
Mr. Keisuke Atami:
Thank you for the enjoyable time I had today, it was really a dream.
I still savor the joy of working with the author of my dreams.
Although I am still immature, I will definitely try to make a good book.
Thank you for your continued understanding.
Mina Kawahara. ”
After reading this email, Aoyama also felt a little confused, and it seemed unreasonable to say that this Kawahara Mina had no admiration and good feelings at all, but it was not good to conclude that she really had a good impression of Keisuke Atami, so Aoyama still used Buddhist calculation and arithmetic without being sure, but the result was that he couldn't laugh or cry.
