I am a writer in Tokyo

Chapter 199 Tokyo Dirt Guide
When he walked into the signing area, some people around him stopped and looked at Kitajima who was signing autographs.

Some of them grabbed the people walking around and introduced them to Kitajima Koma not far away, saying that he was the rumored Koin Kazuki.

Whether it is rumored or not is actually not important to this group of writers.

They only care about two things.

That is to say, someone who can define a literary genre according to rumors and can also write books against the market.

Compared with others, this one occupies a heavier weight among the group of writers.

Perhaps this is why they use the term "rumor" to refer to Xiaoyuan Kazuki.

Kitajima Kua didn't take those looks of curiosity or warning seriously.

Before coming to the venue, Oshima Kazuya said that he came here not to gain their recognition, but to show his face.

Regarding the matter of recognition, Ju You asked.

If you want to compete for awards, won't it be very difficult if you don't get recognition from writers in the literary world?

Editor-in-chief Kashiwagi said that this award does not mean that you can get it if you are recognized by other writers. Of course, it will not have any impact if other writers do not recognize it.

You have to be jealous when you see someone else winning an award that is not yours. If you could veto your eligibility to win an award if you didn’t recognize it, the literary world would have been in chaos a long time ago.

After entering the venue, Kitajima and Mr. Oshima chose a seat to sit down, but then a staff member invited them to sit forward.

As soon as he sat down, someone came to the side and said hello to Ju.

"You must be the teacher of Xiaoyuan."

Ju turned his head and glanced, nodded, and said nothing.

"I read the collection that no one knew about, and wanted to ask why Teacher Xiaoyuan had such a downward gaze. After all, I don't think we usually come into contact with this kind of group.

But looking at the words, it seems as if the words you wrote are growing out of the soil, and even have a rusty smell.

This rusty smell, at least compared to others, is a bit unpleasant to us. "

This person who didn't know where he came from was attacking Ju Yitong like crazy.

This posture does not look like the cold and reserved neon style at all.

Oshima Kazuya couldn't sit still seeing this rather sinister tone. Just when he was about to say something, he saw Koma speak first.

"Ah, about this, have you ever tried smelling soil?"

"what?"

"It's just the smell of earth. The earth in different areas will have different flavors."

Before the person could reply, Ju continued what he had said before.

"The soil in urban areas generally doesn't have any smell, not even the fishy smell of soil. It is often transported from various places and then washed by sprinklers and the like. It doesn't even have the most basic fragrance of vegetation. , but if you wait until after autumn, that is, now, you may smell a very faint smell of nutrient solution, which is not very good.

If you walk a little further to the outside, you can smell the smell of vegetation, with a slight fishy smell. This smell is very good, as if the whole person is immersed in nature and cannot be separated at all.As for the rusty soil you mentioned, most of it is found next to cheap rental houses. When the rain washes away, the rust will fall into the soil, and no one cleans it up, so the smell is very strong. "

Oshima Kazuya wanted to remind you that the person here is not here to discuss the taste of earth with you, but more to question you as to why you betrayed the writers group and chose to join the lower classes.

However, Teacher Oshima did not interrupt, because Kitajima was speaking plausibly at this moment.

"So, is the taste of this soil really different?" The visitor didn't react for a while, because Kitajima said with a serious face. Then he suddenly realized that he didn't mean what he just said. To express what the soil smells like.

"Don't writers just need close observation? If it's always floating in the sky, let alone dirt, it's impossible to see clearly even if there are a few specks of dust on the ground."

I remember that what I wanted to express was that Kitajima was like growing out of the soil, completely separated from the upper class. It would be understandable if he just wanted to make money and win the sympathy of the lower class, but if Now that I am completely on that side, I am more or less betraying the class.

But just as he was about to refute something, he saw Kitajima thoughtfully opening the notebook he carried with him.

Then I watched helplessly as he wrote a few words in his notebook: "A Guide to the Earthy Taste of Tokyo"

“This is the next article I want to write.”

He completely ignored that person, but turned his head towards Oshima Kazuya and said, "The teacher's idea just now is very good."

Oshima Kazuya realized at this time that Kitajima was probably doing this on purpose.

At this time, he suddenly felt that Kitajima was not as upright as he always thought, and was also weak when he should be bad.

Seeing that the face of the person next to him suddenly became unhappy, Oshima Kazuya's mood instantly improved a lot.

He nodded solemnly, and then promised that this article would be on the front page and he would do a good job in publicity.

But compared to Kitajima Komasa's disgusting people, Oshima Kazuya's methods are a little more disgusting.

He motioned for Kitajima to give up a position where he could speak, and then asked the writer's name with a notebook in his hand.

Although he knew what that person was called.

Teacher Oshima had a business-like attitude, saying that since this article benefited from his advice, the signature should still be respected, and just now Teacher Xiaoyuan also said that he must add his name to the article. So if possible, it is convenient to leave relevant names and contact information to facilitate the payment of manuscript fees in the future.

Seeing the trendy people getting more disgusting than the last, the writer didn't have any thoughts of falling in love.

In the end, he was defeated in this war of words.

But before leaving, I took a deep look at Kazuki Koin and Kazuya Oshima. Judging from their posture, I wanted to firmly remember their appearance, maybe for counterattack later.

After the meeting was held, some representative writers began to speak.

Of course Kazuki in the small courtyard is among them.

But in full view of everyone, Kitajima tapped his notebook with a pen.

He remembered what Oshima Kazuya said, just say something in the meeting.

"So let's explore the taste of Tokyo soil."
