"I believe that all enterprises and schools should stop sticking to their own opinions and discriminate against Burakumin; and the government should also legislate to protect the interests of Burakumin."

"In this society, the weak should not be preyed on by the strong, but the weak should be protected while ensuring the existing fairness!"

"This is my professional ethics as a writer, and it is also the original intention of writing "Death of a Mystery Novelist"."

Hearing Akihara Yuuto's righteous words, Sakaguchi Keito showed a satisfied expression.

Very good, the purpose of my interview today has been achieved!

I will write a manuscript later!

[Chapter 131.131 Two sets of plans! ]

Tokyo, Adachi Ward, "Adachi Shimbun" editorial office.

"Chief Nishizawa, what's wrong with this article, why can't it be published?!"

Keito Sakaguchi held the manuscript and asked his own superior with a dissatisfied face.

His behavior has been a bit presumptuous, after all, Nihong pays attention to superiority and inferiority in the workplace.

But Keito Sakaguchi couldn't care less about this at the moment.

After interviewing Hiroto Akihara the day before yesterday, he went back to the library and consulted a lot of relevant information to add to the manuscript to prove the rationality of Hiroto Akihara's talk.

Among them, he also held some selfishness, and increased the proportion of Akihara Hiroto's speech to the "burakumin".

After writing the entire manuscript, he repeatedly deleted and deleted it many times, and only got half of the page, which is about 4600 words.

But I didn't expect that after I submitted it to the chief today, I was called back all of a sudden.

This filled him with unwillingness and even anger—is it so difficult to speak out for one's own nation?

The chief reporter sighed, and did not blame his subordinate, he could understand his current mood to a certain extent.

After all, if you are a reporter, you will become angry to a certain extent when you find out that the manuscript you have spent 3 or 4 days on has not passed the review.

"Sakaguchi, the return of your manuscript has nothing to do with the content of your manuscript."

After hearing this explanation, Kaito Sakaguchi calmed down and asked, "What is the reason?"

"The problem is with your interview subject."

"Teacher Akihara?"

"That's right," the chief reporter nodded. Just now I communicated with the editor-in-chief and said that Mandansha and all the newspapers in Tokyo have said hello, let us try not to report on Akihara Hiroto and his published work " Suspect X". "

"Mantansha? Why would they do this?"

Keito Sakaguchi was a little puzzled. According to the reports he had collected before, although Hiroto Akihara made his debut in Mandansha's "New Novel", he had already parted ways.

What reason does Mandanshe have to suppress the other party?

The chief reporter shook his head. It may be due to factional struggles or other reasons. In short, only the person involved knows about this kind of thing.

Keito Sakaguchi lowered his head and fell silent.

Factional fights?It's unlikely, after all, Teacher Akihara is not an employee of Mantansha, but a co-author.

If you do this, won't you be afraid of other writers?

other reasons?

For example, he did this because he found out that Mr. Akihara was a Burakumin. Although it is unlikely, it is not impossible?

Thinking of this, Keito Sakaguchi gritted his teeth for a moment. He graduated from Tokyo University, but because of his identity as Ainu and Burakumin, he did not pass the review of major newspapers, so he could only come to the bottom of the newspaper, "Adachi Shimbun".

And if Yuuto Akihara was suppressed by Mantansha for the same reason, then I must help him.

No, even if not, I have to help this writer who speaks out for the Ainu people.

If this continues, the voice of the Ainu people in the neon society will only become smaller and smaller!

After making this decision, Keito Sakaguchi turned around, bowed respectfully to the chief reporter, and said in a very sincere tone: "Chairman Nishizawa, I really want to publish this article, what can I do?" ?”

His request seemed a little unreasonable, but he knew that no matter how harsh the regulations were, there was actually some room for maneuver.

Besides, Mandansha and "Adachi Shimbun" have only very few business contacts, and it is not necessary to completely listen to the other party's opinions.

The chief reporter gave his subordinate a helpless look, feeling a little headache for a while.

In his view, if the article cannot be published, it will not be published. At worst, just change the topic.

But I didn't expect Kaito Sakaguchi to be obsessed with it.

But he can also partially understand the other party's mind.

To be honest, he didn't know whether to admire this idea or feel helpless.

Although the main body of the neon society looks down on the Ainu and the Burakumin, in fact, it is difficult for many companies to distinguish them. They can only rely on the handbook of Burakumin gathering places circulated on the market to judge.

This means that as long as you move to a farther home and spread a little panic, it will be difficult for many companies to tell the difference. In fact, many people do this.

But this subordinate of his is very stubborn. He obviously graduated from Dongda University and has a good hand.But I applied for the job without moving, and was rejected repeatedly, so I had to come to the small newspaper "Adachi Shimbun".

But now that the other party has entrusted himself with this, do you want to accept it?The chief reporter was bewildered.

He thought for a long time, weighed the pros and cons, and recently decided to help.

After all, Keito Sakaguchi graduated from Tokyo University, even if he is a Burakumin, he will be able to climb up one day sooner or later.

He sighed, and then replied: "Sakaguchi, I have a suggestion for you to refer to."

Sakaguchi Keito straightened up and answered "Yes."

"Mantansha's request is against Hiroto Akihara and "Suspect X", but as far as I know, the manuscript of "Death of a Mystery Novelist" has not been released publicly, so you can play with words."

Keito Sakaguchi was thoughtful after hearing this, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Your opinion is that, without disclosing the author's name, you only describe "Death of Mystery Fiction" and the social antagonism revealed in it?"

"That's right," the chief reporter replied, "but in this case, I can't give you 2/1 of the page, I can only compress it to 4/1 of the page. Besides, I have to do a good job of what Mandansha is going to do. You are ready to take responsibility. But you can also rest assured that at most it will be verbal criticism."

"I see," Sakaguchi Keito replied, he didn't care about verbal criticism.

After all, Mantanshe is just a business partner, so the newspaper office only needs to put on a show.

Just when Keito Sakaguchi was about to thank the chief, the chief reporter said: "Besides this plan, I have another suggestion, please consider it."

"Ok?"
