I am a writer in Tokyo

"So, what does the tree in the courtyard mean to Neon?"

Oshima Kazuya received this glorious task. His next step was to write an article with this issue as the core idea, and this article would be the stone that added insult to injury.

What Kashiwamu hoped was that the stone would fall deep and heavily, and would be best if it could kill a lot of people. If that wasn't possible, then at least one or two people would be killed.

After receiving this task, Oshima Kazuya began to regret that he should not have given up the bowl of hot fried udon and ran to the company to find Kashiwagi.

It seems that he didn't get any benefits, and it can even be said that he took on a lot of messy things.

Working hard is no longer the main issue at his age, and has never even been the main issue in his life.

Mr. Oshima's face, which was not very young to begin with, was now full of vicissitudes. If Koma were here, he would most likely choose to tell Koma how great he was and how much he had sacrificed for him.

However, Koma was not here, and Mr. Oshima was not a person who liked to talk to others about how much he had contributed. After much hesitation, he finally picked up a pen and began to sort out his ideas on paper.

He must write this article well, just as he must win this silent battle.

In fact, it was not only Mr. Oshima who wrote this article. Kashiwagi felt that this matter was originally a problem for common discussion, so Mr. Oshima was not the only one who had the right to speak.

He launched a writing competition through the Shincho channel, and the theme of the writing competition was the question he assigned to Kazuya Oshima.

Maybe for Kashiwagi, he doesn't need to spend too much effort to do something targeted. What he needs is a fair victory to let everyone know what he has done.

For example, when this so-called essay contest was released, countless people were shocked.

Maybe they did not think about the significance of writing about the existence of "A Tree in the Courtyard" at the first time, but thought that they had got a chance to be published in a trendy journal, which is a rare opportunity.

Most people who like literature have a dream in their hearts. They want their names to appear in the best literary journals. If not, then they will try to go to the sub-journals; if not, then they will just be a reader.

But, who doesn’t want to be trendy?

Perhaps it is often said that writers can use words to cause a suffocating tide of thought. Then what Editor-in-Chief Kashiwagi has done now has made everyone see how terrifying the dominance of an extremely brilliant publishing house is.

In the new trend of writing competition, it seemed that "The Boat Trip" which was released at the same time as "The Passion" and was actively mentioned by others disappeared in an instant, as if it had never appeared.

Everyone was shouting "The Passion" and the name of the tree in the courtyard enthusiastically. It seemed that the main theme at this moment became everything about the tree in the courtyard.

This strong and terrifying impact made everyone astonished, and even the people from Bungeishunju were still confused.

Gaowei's face did not look good.

The fact that Kashiwagi was able to understand the truth of the matter meant that he could also know it.

He was a little unclear about whose side the gods were on. If the gods had sent him Mr. Miura's manuscript, then why would they also give the other party such a good opportunity?

Perhaps he did not pray in time, praying those vows not to give his opponent the opportunity.

But this also illustrates one thing: God is always fair.

"The Boat Compilation" was instantly submerged by the tide. Although the topic of the new essay contest was not so direct, any discerning person could see that so many people were helping to prove how strong the literary quality of "Xiao Yuan Yi Shu" was.

Perhaps that fight should not have happened in the first place, and even the list they released previously should not have been released.

The wind created by the flapping wings of the butterflies over there has become a terrible natural disaster, and this natural disaster has changed some patterns.

After Oshima Kazuya's manuscript came out, Shincho released the selected manuscripts together.

This battle seemed to have ended before victory was fully declared.

Perhaps they had never imagined that the ups and downs would come so quickly. Not only the editor of Bungeishunju, but even Takao felt as if they were dreaming.

Takao also thought about what they should do after this storm. Maybe he could keep teacher Miura stable while asking her for her manuscripts. Maybe Miura would never be able to write anything again.

But no matter what, they have to wait until this storm is over before they have a chance to surpass Xiaoyuan Yishu.

However, this opportunity came too quickly and went away too quickly.

Looking at the depressed faces of the crowd, Gao Wei wanted to say something, but the words seemed unable to come out.

……

"So, now we have defeated them?" Boss Ito added a lot of beef to Oshima Kazuya's udon because he heard that they had won a battle and wanted to celebrate.

Oshima Kazuya thanked him and stuffed the food into his mouth without caring about the heat. He could only make some panting sounds due to the heat.

"Almost, but in the final analysis, I've never lost." Oshima Kazuya heard the guest next to him asking about the data, but he couldn't explain what was going on for a moment, so he replied hesitantly.

"How should I put it? Actually, most of the time it's just appearance." He answered cautiously, and even before speaking he was weighing in his mind whether he could say this.

"But we have to admit that their books are really good."

This sentence was not said by Oshima Kazuya, but came from outside the door.

Just as Oshima Kazuya felt that the voice sounded familiar, the door was pushed open the next second, and the figure of Editor-in-Chief Kashiwagi appeared outside the door.

Everyone felt that this person looked familiar, but they couldn't remember who he was until Oshima Kazuya introduced him as his boss. Then everyone stood up and greeted him.

Boss Ito seemed even more excited. He had heard from the first generation about the editor-in-chief Kazuya Oshima and others before, and it was said that he was a very powerful person.

If he wasn't busy grilling, he would probably respond positively to Editor-in-Chief Kashiwagi's arrival with his seal applause.

"Please give me one portion..." Editor-in-Chief Kashiwagi took a look at what Oshima Kazuya was eating and continued, "Beef fried udon, and a cup of oolong tea. Thank you." (End of this chapter)
