I am a writer in Tokyo

Maybe they found that the books written by others were just like that, or maybe they found that even though what Kazuki Xiaoyuan wrote was a bit biased, the words still had his unique flavor, and that kind of beauty made them hard to refuse.

As a result, Paradise Lost gradually began to be read by people, and then people tried to decipher the information contained in the text.

Some people firmly believe that Xiaoyuan Kazuki is not that kind of person. He must be thoughtful and want to express something through words.

But some people still feel that no matter what the core looks like, the outside is already crooked.

People from the two factions are like dogs fighting for each other's territory, biting with their instincts.

Kitajima felt that his description showed that he disrespected the readers, but since no one knew, he might as well speculate on those neon people with the greatest malice.

After Kazuhiko Ishibashi read the entire book, he locked himself up and did not go out for three days.

When the family saw him, he was as unkempt as a mop that hadn't been washed for three days, with a face covered in dirt and a disgusting smell.

The family members naturally knew that it was because of the person named Xiaoyuan Kazuki that Ishibashi Kazuhiko became like this. Just as he was about to say a word or two, he saw him shouting loudly: "I wrongly blamed Xiaoyuan Kazuhiko." Teacher Shu."

Before he could ask, Ishibashi Kazuhiko rushed out of the door and ran out quickly.

“We don’t see our own faults and bad habits, only those of others.

However, because of this, others become our mirrors, in which we see our own bad habits, faults, despicableness, and nastiness.

However, most of the time, people are like dogs scowling in the mirror, not knowing it is themselves they see in the mirror and thinking it is another dog. "

Kitajima was sitting in the trendy reception room, looking at the visitor from Osaka who didn't look very good in front of him, and answered the question he just asked.

After hearing Kitajima's answer, Ishibashi Kazuhiko's expression changed, and then he realized that there seemed to be no problem with this sentence.

From the corner of his eye, he could see that the editor named Oshima Kazuya was lowering his head and recording something.

"So, they become a mirror?"

"It's not important that they become mirrors. Before writing this book, Editor-in-Chief Kashiwagi told me that he wanted me to write a book that reflects the current situation of neon society. This is very important, not only to me but to the entire neon community. speak."

Kitajima's words stopped at the right moment. His implication was that this book was born, and they, the two protagonists of this book, exactly fit the spiritual theme he wanted to express, and their deaths were not used as a symbol. Weapons that he profited from, he expressed sadness at their deaths.

"What he was thinking about was not an extramarital affair, although extramarital affairs are the norm in this society. What he saw was a transformation of love."

Editor-in-chief Kashiwagi took a sip of tea. He did not expect that this person would come directly from Osaka.

Kazuhiko Ishibashi is a well-known doctor. As a member of the upper class of Neon society, his status deserves attention.

Editor-in-chief Kashiwagi continued: "I have seen a lot. Love will change at different times, and there is no permanent love.

Xiaoyuan Kazuki is not writing about your friends, but more about human nature and the changes in emotions that are real to the extreme.

In the traditional education we have received, we must love someone wholeheartedly, but we cannot deny that change is also an extremely real existence. Such an existence does not require readers to follow the protagonist and empathize with each other. Love simply expresses the truest side of this society. ”    Kazuya Satake was also on the side. After hearing what Editor Kashiwagi said, he suddenly thought of the boy who had not shown his face until now.

Could it be that they are also in love with each other?

But this is not fair to girls.

What should I do if I originally loved someone, but my love has dissipated over time, or I have met someone I love more?

This is a conflict between morality and instinct, a process of ebb and flow.

People have dark desires for depravity. The stronger their moral sense, the stronger the pleasure of depravity.

Kazuya Satake tried to control himself not to think about those things. The more he thought about it, the more he would deny the existence of the snowman, and of course he would also deny the death of the girl.

Denying death is a scary thing.

In this way, even existence will be a rigid thing.

"In my opinion actually."

Editor-in-Chief Kashiwagi stopped talking and saw everyone looking at him, he continued:

"Writers do not undertake the mission of moral education. They not only show all kinds of people in the world, but also expose themselves to everything, even the secrets of people's hearts. Truth is almost equal to literature for writers. Ethics, and the supreme ethics of literature.

Therefore, many people will think that Kazuki Xiaoyuan is teaching them what to do, but in fact Kazuki Xiaoyuan's original intention is very simple, that is, to tell them that there is such a thing. "

reality? !

The sentences written by Xiaoyuan Kazuki in Paradise Lost suddenly appeared in Ishibashi Kazuhiko's mind.

"Kyumu feels extremely comfortable when he thinks that he is alone in a world of laziness, lust, unsoundness, and immorality."

"Each has a family, but they marry someone else at the beginning of the new year. The two of them feel guilty, but also mixed with the pleasure of betrayal."

"He wanted to meet someone else's wife on this night of the wake. Jiumu felt guilty about this immoral act, and at the same time he was also narcissistic."

When he first read it, he felt that these sentences were so ugly that it was difficult to face them directly. But this may be what editor Kashiwagi said, the incomparable truth, the most authentic side of human beings. The reason why he found it difficult to look directly at it may be because he did not People are willing to look directly at themselves in the state of their souls, covered in dirt.

It was only then that he turned to look at the fair-skinned boy sitting opposite him who didn't like to talk much.

He looks so young, and his figure is extremely thin, but he is so strong, and the words he writes are so powerful. Looking at it this way, his head is filled with deep starry sky.

How on earth did he accomplish such a feat.

Kazuhiko Ishibashi realized that if there was a genius in the world, it might be like this. His appearance seemed to be to complete some task.

He didn't know much about the literary world, but he knew one thing. Not many people could write philosophy through small things.

Maybe Jiumu and the others were lucky, at least they didn't die in such an obscure way, and what they did had at least received mixed reviews. (End of chapter)
