(How can it be repaired!) Pen and ink, that bastard on the birthday buff, can't fight at all! The second place is still a top student...... But I'm sure we should be able to get through. That's just 400 votes! As long as the point-to-push ratio becomes 1:1, it is not a problem at all! Even if there are a lot of people on the other side, wouldn't it be nice for us to take advantage of their arrow rain! Ask for votes! There will be a second watch in the evening! If you rush to the top two, I will promise you to give three more! It's still the old rules! Ask for recommendation votes! ）

Before the information age, staying in a hotel was a hassle. You'll need to call to make an appointment in advance, and if you're unlucky, you might find that you don't have a place to stay when you get there. The place where you live is definitely not a good place to live, and all places are famous for their reputation accumulated by word of mouth. It was a very difficult thing to do.

In fact, when the information age came, those cumbersome things were basically no longer needed. All you need to do is swipe your bank card on the machine, pull out your proof and check in to the hotel you've booked. For the sake of their hotel's performance, it is basically impossible for them to make any reckless moves. On the contrary, no matter how bad the guest is, he will be like an uncle, because it means word of mouth and fame. It only takes a few words to destroy a century-old trust.

So when the somewhat skinny waiter respectfully brought himself to the door, I didn't hesitate to say anything. He pulled out three yen from his wallet and stuffed them to the waiter. I could even clearly see his radiant appearance.

Tipping is generally the preserve of foreigners. When I, a native of the country, did this, the expression on the waiter's face suddenly came alive. The whole person was full of life. I guess this is the magic of money, which can make a person's sincere expression false, and can also make a puppet full of life.

Isn't that good? ’

Walking into my room, I put my suitcase aside, looked at the nicely decorated room and nodded.

The pores of the whole body are trembling, the brain is running at high speed as if it is overcharged, the heart is beating steadily and powerfully, the roar of blood rushing in the blood vessels is fluctuating with the pulse, and even the eyes seem to be a little brighter.

It's a fantastic state.

It's completely different from being in high school, and it's completely different from being in the study. is no longer the high school student who is full of crooked nonsense, and he is not the behind-the-scenes person who is thinking hard in the study. After walking out of the siege and the self-protective body, the toxin outside was like a stimulant, and the whole person gradually became excited.

The curtains were opened, and the night in Tokyo outside looked like an upside-down sky. Countless lights and traffic create a continuous stream of lights, dotting this modern city into a glorious city that never ends. The traffic and crowds of people are like the blood of the city, weaving through the streets and alleys, bringing life to the city. And cities like these still have double-digit numbers on this planet. Seven billion people live on this vast planet.

"How can I stand out from the seven billion......

I suddenly felt that this behavior was ridiculous.

I think I will succeed, but in reality it is just an illusion. Although having another memory is a powerful boost, in the face of the base of seven billion, the word self seems so powerless and insignificant.

Then all you can do is make the life of the people around you a little better. Even if this beauty hurts oneself, it is understandable for others to believe it. Of course, this is definitely not a reason to come to Tokyo on your own. I just didn't come here because I hadn't attended the meeting for a long time. It's just a coincidence.

Hmph, in the end, you still can't affect your own route. If your life is disturbed by this kind of thing, it is because of a small loss.

'Brother~I'm calling~'

The phone that I had specially asked Komachi to record suddenly rang, and I picked up the phone with some dissatisfaction.

"Hello? Who is it? ”

"It's Hachiman, right? If you come four days in advance, we won't have food and lodging here. ”

“…… Isn't that too hurtful for you? ”

"Hahaha, of course it's true. Even if it's your first time participating, the rules are still rules. We're not a charity team here, so please understand me. Now that the global economy is in a recession, everyone is not doing well. ”

It was Mr. Editor-in-Chief of the magazine who called.

This guy is a completely unkempt uncle with curly hair that resembles a European man. I always like to say something that is not very good in a particularly cheerful tone. This hobby can already be called a vice, because he often jokes in this tone. I really can't tell whether what he's saying is a good thing or a bad thing.

But overall he's a good guy. After all, he was a benefactor who was able to completely ignore my age and push me to power, and strictly speaking, this kind of raunchyness may also be his personality. But I don't bother to dig into it.

"But then again, the response from the editorial office was really not good. Because you guy's recently written, I don't know what to do, and it feels like I'm confused. The state of the author can be reflected in the work, and the work will give this state to the reader. As the saying goes, what you plant is what you reap. If you're always at home, I can't say anything, I can only pray that you guys can get out of this situation. But you actually came out, which means that you have made a decision, right? ”

"Strictly speaking...... I still don't know what to do. ”

Playing with the curtains in my hand, I looked a little dullly at the bustling scenery outside the window.

Is it just like the wish I had when I was in junior high school, to root my tentacles directly in this sinful city? Or is it willing to fall, put everything down, and walk the road that you don't know the way, but it is very warm?

I don't know what to do at all.

This trip can only prove anything.

"I don't know what I can do now, and I don't know what I can do. My future has been determined by myself, just go ahead. But I didn't have the courage to face that future. I know that my current results are enough for many people to look up to, but I don't know what I want to do. I don't even know who I am......"

"That sounds a bit unpleasant...... So be it. Do you know that hotel? It's the same place where we last had dinner and talked about business. I'll be waiting for you there, let's talk a little bit. You're in a bit of a precarious situation right now. ”

"Walk above men, and the multitude will not. But the heart is higher than others, but you are not the others. What do you think of now? ”
