Chapter 50: Farewell
The next day, Hideki Hanyu, who had packed up his mood, drove to the Elementary School Building.
After entering July, the major awards in the neon literary world kicked off, and from August to May next year, the major awards will take turn.
The Shogakukan's Children's Publishing Culture Award will fire its first shot in August, and the awards will actually start in July.
Along with the awards, there are naturally all kinds of salon exchange meetings.
As a new best-selling author, Hideki Hanyu has naturally been invited by many parties, such as today, for the Children's Literature Exchange held at the Shogakukan.
After all, Shogakukan is a partner, and when Eri Kitahara left yesterday, he emphasized that he must come.
"Hanyu-san, long time no see."
As soon as I arrived at the venue, an acquaintance approached Hideki Hanyu.
"Gomi-san, I've been wanting to visit since the end of the awards, but I heard that Gomi-san has traveled overseas."
That's right, what Hanyu Hideki met was the same Gomi Taro who helped him win the award in the first place.
"I did travel to Europe, and it's a great memory." Gomi Taro said it, and his expression was still a little aftertaste.
"It seems that Wuwei Mulberry has gained a lot."
"Yes, I have the deepest impression of Edinburgh in Scotland, and many of the buildings seem to come out of fairy tales......"
The two chatted speculatively, so they simply found a place to sit down and chat slowly.
Although Hideki Hanyu has never been far away in this life, he has been educated by the Internet in his previous life, and he can say two words if he knows what he doesn't know, highlighting a knowledgeable and talented.
……
"I thought Hanyu-san would find a corner to hide when he participated in this kind of exchange meeting, but I didn't expect to get along so well with my seniors."
At the end of the exchange meeting, Eri Kitahara stopped Hideki Hanyu, who was about to leave.
"In the eyes of Kitahara-san, what should I look like, withdrawn and unsociable, or young and vigorous and don't take my predecessors seriously." Hideki Hanyu asked rhetorically.
"Someone here has criticized Hanyu-san before."
"A lot of people are misled by the media, and if you just criticize the work and don't involve personal attacks, I think it's acceptable, after all, there is no work that everyone can like."
"Is it true that such a mature Hanyu-san is still underage?"
"Kitahara-san stopped me, did you just want to ask this?"
Thinking that he would have to give lessons to the three girls in the afternoon, Hideki Hanyu no longer went around in circles with Eri Kitahara.
"What else can I do for it, of course, for a manuscript?"
"I still want a manuscript, I'm going to write seven stories in the first volume of the magic dim sum shop, aren't they all for Kitahara-san?"
"The magic dim sum shop is very popular, how can you just write one book, but what about the back?" Eri Kitahara incarnates as a master of drafting.
"Let's wait for the release of the first volume, the weekly magazine can't count on me to contribute alone."
Hanyu Hideki was speechless, and the Shogakukan was catching his sheep and going bald.
"Okay, but when the single book is released, how about Hanyu-san come to an all-neon tour signing?"
"Circuit signings? Or is it all neon? Don't go, don't go! Hanyu immediately refused.
Last time, I had a few book signing sessions in Tokyo, and my wrist was swollen for several days, so I was going to go to the hospital for a whole time, and I was afraid that I would go to the hospital directly after the end.
"In that case, I only went to a few important cities, and then went back to Tokyo to participate in Tetsuko Kuroyanagi's show again, wasn't Kuroyanagi-san invited."
Eri Kitahara begins to bargain.
Hanyu Hideki thought about it for a while, knowing that it was impossible to refuse completely, "Four cities at most, as for participating in the show, I'll go if I'm not busy then." ”
"Deal."
Seeing that Eri Kitahara looked like he had achieved his goal, Hideki Hanyu couldn't help but complain, "I think the Elementary School Hall should give Kitahara-san a best employee award at the end of the year." ”
"This Hanyu teacher can help suggest, after all, I'm just a small employee, and Hanyu-sensei is a big writer."
Eri Kitahara was also not polite to Hideki Hanyu.
"No problem, then I'll go to Minister Imai now." Hideki Hanyu looks like I'm going here.
Seeing this, Eri Kitahara panicked, "Don't, Hanyu-san, I'm joking." ”
"Haha......"
Hideki Hanyu left happily, and the first successful counterattack against Eri Kitahara gave him a sense of accomplishment.
……
After the exchange meeting at the Shogakukan, Hideki Hanyu's life became regular again.
I have nothing to do in the morning, and I give lessons to three young girls in the afternoon, but I have one more task when I get home, which is to take care of the new member of the family, the little Ragdoll.
Because of a game character he liked very much in his previous life, he named the little she-cat Nakolulu.
Keiko Matsuzaka wonders why it's called that, and Hideki Hanyu explains that he set the little she-cat as a little shrine maiden from the Ainu tribe.
This makes his girlfriend even stranger, the little witch of the Ainu tribe? Shouldn't it be an American's kitten?
Hanyu Hideki didn't continue to explain, but Nakoruru's name was officially decided.
In a blink of an eye, the girls' training was over.
Hideki Hanyu is still quite satisfied with their learning results, at least it is absolutely enough to deal with the advertising shooting.
After all the courses, the next step is to enter the official production, and the first thing is, of course, to record the commercial song.
With the accompaniment, leading the three girls, Hanyu Hideki entered the recording studio.
Then the girls opened their voices, he didn't know whether to praise Ben's respectful teaching level, or the girls' outstanding talent, in short, the performance was very good, and the recording progress was also very smooth.
In less than two days, all the advertising songs were recorded and entered the filming stage.
I thought that he would record the song quickly enough, but I didn't expect that Shinsuke Ito's filming was also not slow, and it only took three days for the advertising shooting to end early.
This also means that the three girls are leaving early.
At the door of the cloud screening, the three girls are reluctantly saying goodbye.
The simple-minded girls have developed a deep friendship with each other in the two weeks that they have eaten and lived together, studied together and helped each other.
At this time, he was about to part, and under the sadness, he suddenly cried into a ball.
Even Yoko Minamino, who has a cool expression on weekdays, cried at this time.
Listening to the promise that the girls will meet again in the future, Hanyu Hideki sighed that friendship is really wonderful, sometimes it is not necessary to get along for a long time, sometimes it is only a short time to get along, but it will produce a deep bond.
The girls finally cried almost, but when they came to say goodbye to Hideki Hanyu, the teacher, they couldn't hold back their tears.
After being comforted by Hanyu Hideki, he turned around and went to say goodbye to Asako Hirohashi.
Looking at Asako Hirohashi's equally reluctant demeanor, Hideki Hanyu showed a playful expression.
Asako Hirohashi didn't notice Hideki Hanyu's gaze, but patiently comforted the three girls, and by the way, carefully explained to the female employee in charge of escorting them until the three girls were sent away.
"Everyone is gone, don't look at Asakisan." Hanyu Hideki found that the girls had left, and Asako Hirohashi was reluctant to withdraw her gaze.
"Then let's go back."
Asako Hirohashi realized that something was wrong, so she was about to walk back, but she didn't take a few steps, and she couldn't help but look in the direction the three girls left.
Seeing this scene, Hanyu Hideki shook his head helplessly, "It's all about this time, it's time for Asako-san to say what is in her heart." ”
"Hanyu-san, what can I think?"
Hanyu Hideki saw that Asako Hirohashi still didn't admit it, so he said straight to the point, "Asako-san wants to sign them."
"Huh?"
Asako Hirohashi had a surprised expression.
