Am I a person of interest as a newbie in the second dimension?

Appreciation meeting of Japanese mystery works.

…

That's the name, yes.

On the day of the meeting, Sougo Doma was a little late due to something (making lunch for a good-for-nothing Ichido). Fortunately, this kind of meeting was just a serious matter, and he was not the only one who came late.

It's said to be an appreciation meeting.

But in fact, it is just a group of familiar people chatting and having a good time. Although this group of people has a high status - in Japan, as long as you are not a light novelist, the career of a writer is quite enviable.

"Wow, Mr. Kimura's "Flower and the Knife" describes the current situation in Japan.

"Teacher Suzuki is not bad either. That book "The Wailing" not only writes about the last roar that human beings can make when they experience unbearable weight, but also writes..."

"Have you forgotten Natsume-sensei?"

…

The above are all traditional literature.

However, a group of reasoning people are discussing tradition, which is weird when you think about it. In this atmosphere, it seems that if you don't talk about a few traditional literature, you will be looked down upon...

Sougo Doma entered the venue for about a few minutes. He was very low-key and just stayed at the venue for a while. He was confused.

"Excuse me, is this a mystery work appreciation meeting?" Looking at a group of mystery novel workers who were still discussing traditional literature, Sougo Doma raised his hand to ask!

Just ask if you don’t understand, this is a good habit!

…

Silence, silence is the current theme, and the faces of several authors changed slightly.

Then.

"Hahaha……"

"Shiban-san's "The Killing on the Second Page" is the representative of the mystery world!"

"The Deserted Land by Kamiki-san is also a top priority!"

What about "The Pursuit of the North"?

"Ah, that is also a good work." Someone said, touching his chin.

A group of people began to chat awkwardly, and at the same time they cursed in their hearts: "Who can't understand the atmosphere so much?"

Who among them doesn't know that this is a mystery work appreciation meeting? But compared with mystery novels, traditional novels are obviously more compelling...

Just like everyone else is discussing Beethoven, but you are talking about Cai Xukun...

When others open their mouths, they will say "Symphony of Destiny", but when you open your mouth, you will sing, dance, rap, and be good at basketball.

Same reason.

In Japan, the status of traditional literature is much higher than that of mystery novels. Before the meeting started, it was obvious that discussing traditional literature sounded high-level and compelling.

No way, in the literary world, authors of traditional literature often look down on authors of mystery novels, and authors of mystery novels look down on authors of light novels—even the author himself thinks so, let alone others?

If not, they would not discuss traditional literature so much.

Of course, these are all superficial phenomena——

For example, the guy who discusses Beethoven with you may be chasing classmate Xiao Ming, and the guy who talks about "Symphony of Destiny" secretly listens to "Two Mother-in-laws and One Man".

And when it comes to singing, dancing, rap, and basketball, a guy who is good at basketball might be able to play Chopin's "Nocturne" just by sitting down.

After all, the guy who looks sloppy might be wearing the same underwear as JACK.

Therefore, these guys who open their mouths about classics but shut up about literature and art may be watching Playboy YY in private.

Sougo Doma doesn't think highly of this kind of guy, especially a guy who looks traditional but reads "Playboy" YY. If he encounters him, he will definitely take the book away and never read it. After all, he is A noble person...

Of course, this was not the main reason why Sougo Doma spoke. The most important thing was that he really couldn't understand what these guys were talking about.

How long had it been since he woke up from his confusion? Did he use his head to read the world's masterpieces?

Originally, he was thinking about a mystery work appreciation meeting. It was probably a group of writers getting together to play mystery games. At most, they would discuss some popular mystery works.

To this end, Sougo Tsuchima even read a lot of mystery novels in this world. To be honest, he almost cried while reading them - his strong logical thinking ability often allowed him to analyze the contents of the book halfway through the book. who is the murderer.

Once or twice is okay, but after being spoiled by myself seven or eight times...

Tsuchima's general realization: "Angry(ノ｀ー′)ノ~~┻━┻".

What a mess!

This guy watched Conan before traveling with him, and then someone pointed a red pen at someone and wrote, "This is that little black guy - I thank you for not telling him directly that this is the murderer."

Suppressing the MMP in his heart, Sougo Doma read more than a dozen mystery novels in a row. After reading them, he felt like he had no love in his life.

There is no way, mystery novels rely on suspense to attract people, how much connotation can be expected from his writing? There may be such mystery novels, but they are often a breath of fresh air in the mystery world. If the plot does not collapse, it will definitely cause a sensation in the industry.

Don't even look at this kind of thing, just follow it and agree with it.

Moreover, novels like this will definitely not be discussed for too long. There is no way, the results are too good, and there will always be a feeling of inferiority when talking about it. Therefore, a few words will show that everyone has mentioned it without going too far. Being slapped in the face.

…

The above are all considerations and preparations made by Sougo Toma.

However, after preparing for so long, the venue looked like this,

"Wow, Mr. Kimura's "The Flower and the Knife" describes the current situation in Japan."

Tsuchima Sougo “ @_ @”

Who the hell is this? What the hell is "Flower and Knife"?

"Mr. Suzuki..."

Tsuchima Sougo: “ @_ @”

etc!

He had to slow down. What was the connection between mystery novels and the unbearable weight of human beings? Moreover, shouting was not a good way to describe it?

In response, Zhou Shuren issued a death gaze,

Having said that, he couldn't have come to the wrong venue, right?

He looked up and looked at the banner - the venue for the Japanese Mystery Novel Appreciation Conference. He didn't find the wrong venue either.

After listening to it again for a few minutes, Sougo Toma couldn't sit still. At this moment, he felt like a wolf that had wandered into a pack of wolves...ah, bah, South China tiger,

Originally, he was young... twelve or thirteen years old? Among a group of adults, Sougo Doma felt himself trembling, and he even yawned in fear.

In this situation, he didn't even dare to interrupt - by the way, what on earth were these guys talking about?

It was precisely in order to avoid this fear that Sougo Tsuchima spoke weakly and raised his hand to ask questions.

Ah, people really have to take the first step bravely,

Lo and behold, they finally got down to talking about something serious.

Listening to the relatively familiar work, Sougo Doma felt much better, and his fear was relieved a lot. Perhaps, he could also participate in the discussion.

How good is this?

Just as he was thinking this, the topic of the chat changed again, and several senior executives who were having a deep conversation felt that they had been disturbed. They first asked the familiar author next to them: "Do you know whose child this is?"

They all shook their heads.

Immediately afterwards, he started asking the staff again.

The staff member was also confused. In his memory, there were no invitees with children today.

"Impossible. If not, what happened to that child?"

staff member"……"

He doesn't know either, but in the service industry, if he doesn't know, he has to find the answer.
