Namely, a science fiction writer named Akihara.

[Chapter 340.339 Where is Teacher Akihara]

Tokyo Metropolitan Government, Science Fiction Club.

"About "The Sinking of Japan" winning the grand prize in this selection, do you have any other opinions?"

Tachizawa Yuriko stood up, holding a copy of the manuscript, and said to everyone in the audience.

While other people peeped at each other, they didn't say anything, and even some people showed a natural expression on their faces.

But what most people are curious about is, who actually wrote this book?

Like Tachizawa Yuriko, they don't seem like this book was written by a so-called sci-fi newcomer, they just secretly guessed that it was the vest of a well-known sci-fi writer.

Seeing that everyone agreed, Tachizawa Yuriko turned around and asked a man next to him, "Masashima-san, have you contacted the author himself?"

She is very curious now, and is going to see who Akihara is.

The man hesitated and nodded, then shook his head again, "The connection is established, but something went wrong."

"what is the problem?"

"It is said that it was his editor who answered the phone, and the other party said that the writer himself did not intend to accept the award, as long as he announced that this work won the award."

"what!"

Hearing this result, Tachizawa Yuriko was furious.

As contestants who participated in the competition, they actually said that they would not come to accept the award. Isn't this a contempt for their award?

Who is the other party who can be so arrogant!

Did he think that he took the pseudonym of Akihara, and regarded himself as Yuuto Akihara, who won the award and was soft-handed! ?

For a while, she even wanted to withdraw the decision to award the award to the other party.

But soon, Tachizawa Yuriko gave up this idea.

In any case, "The Sinking of Japan" is a rare book, which is of great significance to the current sluggish science fiction world.

And when this book is published, if the outside world knows that the science fiction club did not award the award to the other party, it will cause a lot of controversy.

Thinking of this, she held back her thoughts.

"What's the receiving address of the other party? Let's send the certificate." Yuriko Tachizawa said.

She decided to find an excuse at that time, saying that the writer himself could not come to the scene due to illness.

"Sorry, there is no delivery address in the information sheet sent by the other party," the man replied hesitantly.

"There must be a mailing address on the document bag!" Yuriko Tachizawa laughed angrily.

This time, she is going to go there in person, she wants to see who the other party is! ?

In the afternoon of the next day, Tachizawa Yuriko came to the downstairs of a high-end apartment in the port area alone according to the address on the document bag.

The moment she saw this apartment building, she understood that the author of "The Sinking of Japan" must be either rich or expensive.

Even though housing prices in Japan have fallen a lot now, the property fees for such a luxury house are enough to overwhelm the average small and medium-sized family.

After thinking about it, she took a deep breath and walked into the lobby, but she was stopped when she registered and entered. The reason was that outsiders could not enter without the consent of the owner.

Tachizawa Yuriko had no choice but to call the contact person on the mail, but this time he couldn't get through.

Damn, I have to see you!

Tachizawa Yuriko made up her mind, so she sat in a coffee shop at the door and began to wait.

She decided to carefully observe the flow of residents who came to see if there were any familiar faces.

Hiroto Akihara, far away in Dublin, Ireland, didn't know that he was being branded arrogant.

This time he went to Ireland to receive the award, so he naturally entrusted Satake Maki with the literary award of the Science Fiction Club.

But for Satake Maki, she actually looks down on this award.

Even if the bonus is low, Hiroto Akihara needs to spend extra time giving some sci-fi lectures, and cooperate with participating in some sci-fi club activities.

So Satake Maki directly refused.

After all, she knew that Hiroto Akihara was only planning to use this award as a girdle for this book, to increase the publicity effect a little.

In addition to this point, the time of the two sides is indeed in conflict.

After all, Hiroto Akihara is going to Dublin to participate in the literary award now, so he has no time to win the small award.

Time passed by little by little, and three days passed quickly.

During these three days, Hiroto Akihara kept going around in various circles.

On the first day, he attended a dinner organized by the embassy, ​​met with rich Japanese businessmen living in Ireland, and said some polite words.Despite this, there was continuous applause from the audience.

There were even some ladies and ladies who wished to "communicate cordially" with him, but he declined them all.

The next day, I was invited to the presidential palace in Ireland, had lunch with the president's family, and chatted about some literature topics.

During the meal, Hiroto Akihara took out the Irish Yeats love poem "When You Are Old" and "pretended" a lot.

Before he left, he felt that the president's wife had a star in her eyes.

On the third day, he went to University College Dublin to give a lecture, talking about the "sorrowful literary thought" represented by the book "Snow Country".

But this time was the most bland, and he didn't say anything superfluous.

Even so, the audience still applauded like thunder.

But on the night of the third day, he met an unexpected person outside the hotel room—the former Minister Kenichi Gemoto.

After seeing him, Kenichi Gemoto immediately knelt on the ground in the "posture" of Doshizaza, and said sincerely: "Mr. Akihara, I hope you can forgive me for my previous mistakes!"

Akihara Hiroto looked around and found that there were not many people in the corridor.

He said lightly: "Please get up, Minister Ge Ben."

Ge Benjian shook his head, gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Qiuyuan, Jing Fan Society is promoting all of this. As for me, I am just a scapegoat. I also have a family to support, so I have to..."

"So I'm going to forgive you and hand over the distribution rights to you?"
