His original guess was that a few hundred people would be able to come throughout the day, but he didn't expect that there were already so many people at the scene before the signing event even started.

Hiroto Akihara looked at the flow of people and asked a question: "President Yasuhiro, how should we enter the scene?"

After all, the door is now completely surrounded, if you squeeze in rashly, you may be surrounded by readers in advance.

"Mr. Qiuyuan, don't worry about this." An Jiujin just drove to another road and stopped, and then made a call.

"I'm Goichi Akutsu, and the situation at the signing event is... oh, I see."

As soon as An Jiujin hung up the phone, "Mr. Qiuyuan, let's go in through the small door behind the bookstore."

Hiroto Akihara nodded, and got out of the car with him. The two walked around for a while and walked into the back door of Yamazaki Bookstore.

Along the stairs, Akihara Hiroto and Akutsu went to the second floor of the bookstore.

Hiroto Akihara looked around for a week and found that the space was about 50 ping. Near the wall, there was a signing table, and there was a pile of "Suspect X" books on the right.

In front of the table, an S-shaped passage is set up with railings to avoid crowding caused by too many people.

As soon as An Jiujin greeted Akihara Yuto, he left, and he had to deal with other tasks, but before leaving, he called Satake Maki who was wearing work clothes, "Satake, the rest of the work is entrusted to you. "

"President, I understand," Satake Maki replied seriously, and then said to Akihara Hiroto, "Mr. Akihara, please sit down first. The signing will start in 30 minutes."

Hiroto Akihara obeyed the arrangement and took a sip of the tea offered by Maki Satake. If he got busy, he might not even have time to drink water.

He picked up the pen on the table, tried to write two words, and said after finding that there was no problem: "Editor Satake, why don't you let the autograph session start earlier, otherwise, readers may wait outside for a long time."

Satake Maki hesitated for a while, after all, this was different from the initial arrangement, but she thought about it, and replied: "I see, I will talk to the person in charge here."

After saying this, Satake Maki quickly walked downstairs along the stairs, and then went upstairs 5 minutes later, "Mr. Akihara, the notification has been made."

Hiroto Akihara nodded, sat up straight, and was ready to welcome the first reader who came up with a book.

……

On the other side, Sonoko Uesugi, who was in the queue, tightly held the book in his hand.

A few days ago, after learning that Hiroto Akihara was going to hold a signing event, she decided to come to Tokyo to meet Hiroto Akihara with her own eyes and get a copy of his autograph.

On the day of the signing, she got up early, put on light makeup, and put on the new clothes she just bought.

Immediately afterwards, she rushed to the station and took the JR line to Tokyo. After several transfers, she came to the door of this Yamazaki Bookstore.

However, there are many more people than I imagined! ?

Uesugi Sonoko stood on tiptoe, then turned her head and glanced at the back of the team, secretly feeling grateful in her heart.

Fortunately, I set off early, otherwise, I would have to wait a few more hours.

However, it is a little happy that there are so many readers who love Akihara-sensei as much as I do!

While Uesugi Yuanzi was thinking wildly, the team in front slowly moved forward and walked up the stairs one by one.

Soon, there was no one else in front of her.

At this time, a female staff member in work clothes said with a smile: "You will be the next one, please wait a moment"

Uesugi Sonoko nodded, but felt a little nervous for a moment.

Is your make-up and clothing appropriate? Would it be a bit rude?

And what should I say when we meet?Do you talk first or hand the book first?

While she was thinking wildly, the female staff seemed to have received a notice from her companion, made a guiding gesture and said, "Please go upstairs."

Hearing this, Uesugi Sonoko put down his thoughts, nodded slightly, and walked up the stairs.

In the process, another question came to her mind.

What does Akihara-sensei look like?

But when she was brought to the signing table by the staff upstairs, in front of Hiroto Akihara, she was completely surprised.

Uesugi Sonoko originally thought that Hiroto Akihara, who was able to write the two works of the "ZOO" series and "The Devotion of Suspect X", should be a person who seems very withdrawn and out of tune with the outside world.

And the appearance of the other party should be thin and pale.

But she found that her guess was completely wrong.

This Mr. Akihara Yuto, wearing a neat suit, has a straight back. Although his figure still looks a bit thin, it doesn't look like he hasn't exercised.

His facial features are also very regular, or a little handsome.

But the most worrying thing is that this Mr. Akihara looks a little too young!It looks almost like myself!

Damn, others have already debuted at such a young age and become a well-known writer, but I am still repeatedly rejected by the publishing house.

How can God be so unfair!

Hiroto Akihara, who was sitting behind the signing table, looked helpless at the beautiful female reader in front of him who was a little lost in thought.

In just a few seconds, he found that the other person's expression changed from a smile to surprise, and then from surprise to a bit of gnashing of teeth, the expression was so rich that it was amazing.

"Cough," Akihara Yuto coughed lightly, arousing the other party's attention, and then said with a smile: "I'm Akihara Yuto, if you don't mind, please give me the book."

According to the staff's report, there is no tendency for the team behind to decrease at all, so let's sign and resolve it as soon as possible.

After Uesugi Yuanko realized that his mind was distracted, he immediately reacted.

But when she found out that Hiroto Akihara was of the same age, she let go of her nervousness and said openly: "Mr. Akihara, I have always liked your works. Since "Xiaoshi and Yoko", I have been buying and writing with you." written work."

Hiroto Akihara was a little surprised. It turned out that this beautiful girl was still a loyal fan of him. After all, if he started reading from "Xiaoshi and Yoko", it meant that the other party had read all his published works.

Sonoko Uesugi finished speaking with a smile, and handed over the "Devotion of Suspect X" in her hand, "Mr. Akihara, I hope that one day, one day, I can become a beloved writer like you."

Akihara Hiroto nodded with a smile, and then asked another question, "What is your name, please?"

"Shangshan Yuanzi, the 'Shan' of Shanmu, the 'Yuan' of Linyuan."

Hiroto Akihara held the pen, and wrote a line on the title page of the book (the second page of the book): "I wish Miss Uesugi a successful debut soon, Hiroto Akihara."

Uesugi Sonoko took the book from Akihara Hiroto, bowed to express his thanks, and left.

After all, if you stay any longer, it will cause trouble for the people behind.

But she had a different idea in her heart.

Is this the spirit of a genius writer?
