Chapter 463: Magic Weapon
Shuichi Minamino's novella "Pedestrian" was published by Wasae Press, and it was released with a first print run of 10,000 copies. The reason why he can appear in the literary world with such a strong new writer posture is that he has two powerful weapons that other new writers can match but cannot find.
First, he is the only disciple of the National University writer Mr. Takeshita Kusaoke, and there is no second person other than him. Even Miyuki Kitagawa, the daughter of Mr. who made his official debut in the literary world first, is not. Second, his book is accompanied by a preface written by the teacher himself.
No matter who uses these two "magic weapons" of Shuichi Minamino, he can make his official debut in the literary world in a high-profile manner. Even if it is only one of the two "magic weapons", it can make the publishing house impressed and willingly invest resources in it. Of course, it is very difficult to obtain any of these "magic weapons".
After all, even the most intimate people such as Kitagawa Miyuki and Takeshita Kusaokei have never obtained a "magic weapon". So, for outsiders, it's even more difficult. Unless you have absolute strength and talent recognized by Mr., don't waste useless time dreaming.
At this time, it was difficult for Shuichi Minamino to be so high-profile even if he didn't want to be so high-profile. After all, the media of all sizes flocked to the launch of his debut book. Unlike his teacher, Shuichi Minamino, although he doesn't like to show his head, he doesn't exclude facing the public media in his heart.
Shuichi Minamino's book launch, which debuted on stage, was not only smooth sailing, but also received a lot of praise and applause. After that, he returned to Waseda University in a low tone. Except for a advance notice from close people around him, he didn't mention it to anyone. He didn't want to be said to be deliberately showing off, so he didn't stay in the campus dormitory quietly for half a day, when he saw a vote of people rushed in under the leadership of his roommate. There are people I know, and there are people I don't know.
"Shuichi, you're really hidden! I slept with you for so long, and I never thought that you would be the only disciple of our national writer. Not only that, but you made your official debut in the literary world and released your new book debut, and you didn't say a word to me. If I hadn't been called by other friends and asked, you would have been kept in the dark. He complained that he didn't tell his roommate, and stood at the forefront of this group of people.
The book in his hand is put on the table by Shuichi Minamino.,It's more withdrawn by nature.,Never take the initiative to make friends.。 Even if he is the only roommate who lives in the same dormitory as himself, it is the relationship between the well water and the river water. What's more, in his heart, he despises and rejects such a flower man. It can be said that he is single-minded, except for Yumi Oshima, he has never liked a second girl. Even if he knew that she had already slept with Yasu Hinata and others, he didn't mind.
"Hello Xiuyi senior. I am also a student in the Faculty of Letters. I'm a sophomore now. Can you sign me for a name? I really think your book "Pedestrian" is very good. A girl from the same school with black-framed glasses holding the physical book "Pedestrian" in both hands was full of adoration in her eyes.
"Shuichi, we're all buddies now. In the future, can you introduce me to Mr. Takeshita Kusaoke? I don't expect to be his disciple like you, I just want to be able to meet a literary master like him with my own eyes. Although the words are bright and bright, but the roommate who has other ideas in his heart naturally wants to take a shortcut and make his official debut in the literary world, after all, he is also a first-year graduate student in the Faculty of Literature.
Many students in this major have dreams of becoming writers. Even if you really can't, the next best thing to do is either to become an editor or a screenwriter. Otherwise, enter a publishing house, TV station and other large companies to engage in related professional work. Or, to lay a good foundation for a career in politics in the future, after all, there are many people in Japan who are engaged in politics in such professional capacities.
"Shuichi-san, I also ask you to introduce me to Mr. Takeshita Kusaoke. Please, please. I am very confused about literature in my heart, and I have many questions that I want to ask Mr. Yu. "A big plate of boys in the same class as him, he said it very pertinently and honestly.
"If you have such a question, you can ask the professors of the literature department in our school! I'm sure they'll be glad you're able to ask questions of literary depth. It's not that Shuichi Minamino, who thinks badly of others or has impure motives, took the initiative to stand up and spoke calmly.
"They're definitely not going to solve the puzzle I've been having. Although the professors are also knowledgeable, they do not have a lot of practical experience. The professors are more theoretical, and my problem is that it takes a master of his caliber to solve the puzzles. The boy with the big plate face bowed 90 degrees to him. If it weren't for the fact that there are so many people now, he would even have the heart to kneel down and beg for Nanno Shuichi.
"I'm afraid I can't help you. Not only you, but even my roommate's request was powerless. Instead, he stretched out his hands to take over the book "Pedestrian" from the hands of the younger sister, and said solemnly: "My authority is limited to this. Other than that, I really can't help it. ”
"Shuichi, you're going to do me a favor! In any case, if we can live together, it is also the fate arranged by God. Why should you turn me away a thousand miles away? "I feel that I am different from the rest of my roommates, on the one hand, I feel that I am losing face, and on the other hand, I can't miss such a good opportunity.
"I'm sorry, I really can't help you. You don't know the temper of the gentleman, but I do. If I had promised you to do so, I would never have seen him again. Shuichi Minamino, who was not a pretext at all, sat down on his stool again, picked up a pen from the desk and opened the cover of the first page, and signed on the blank page.
At the same time, neither his roommate nor the man with a big plate face would believe Shuichi Minamino's words. In their opinion, the other party was afraid that he would be robbed of his identity as the only disciple in the room. After all, if they were lucky enough to be able to worship under Mr. 's door, it would be a different situation, and this seemed to touch the interests of Shuichi Minamino. (To be continued.) )
