Akutagawa Award, a pure literature award initiated by Mr. Akutagawa's pen pal and president of the Japanese Literary Association, Kikuchi Hiroshi, in the name of his friend Akutagawa Ryunosuke, and the sponsor is Bungeishunjusha under the name of Kikuchi Hiroshi - this man who is not short of fame and fortune Always be able to give the fastest action for your own ideas.

After Ryunosuke Akutagawa nodded, Kan Kikuchi ran back to his company without saying a word, contacted the media, issued a publicity notice, and formulated award rules...Bungaishunjusha held the signed permission of Ryunosuke Akutagawa to organize the first award The selection for the Akutagawa Prize is scheduled for August this year.

The field of pure literature in the Japanese literary world is particularly lacking. The so-called pure literature is different from the contemporary popular commercial literature. It shows more of its spiritual value, is full of artistry, free from political and secular influence, and focuses on the pursuit of meaning.The style of writing is very close to that of Akutagawa Ryunosuke himself.

The Akutagawa Award is an award established for the purpose of motivating new writers.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke's most outstanding works are short stories. Therefore, the selection threshold for the first Akutagawa family is pure literary short works, and the selection method is not simply open recruitment-in addition to this method, Kikuchi Hiroshi also hopes that the selection committee Through various channels, such as magazines, the Internet, etc., the excellent works of new writers or unknown writers who have not participated in the recruitment can also be included in the selection scope.

The open call will also be carried out at the same time - after all, in modern times, communication and communication platforms are too developed, and the judges cannot read all the works.

The reward is 100 million yen personally funded by Kikuchi Hiroshi and a finely crafted pocket watch.

It is impossible to lose money. Kikuchi Hiroshi is a seasoned entrepreneur no matter what. Although he invested in bonuses and prizes, with Akutagawa's reputation, the submissions received by Bungeishunju Club and the increasing sales of magazines are enough to make up for this part of the investment Besides, with Akutagawa Ryunosuke, a well-known writer and master, sitting in the town, Kikuchi Hiroshi, a man with a certain status in various fields, wants to get sponsorship with ease.

After all, people in the upper class invest in literature, which is regarded as a symbol of elegance, and they don't lack this little money anyway.

Soon, Hiroshi Kikuchi, the president of the Japanese Artists Association and the president of Bungeishunjusha, held a press conference to reveal the first Akutagawa Award.

Important point: Ryunosuke Akutagawa will not participate in the selection, but will be present on the day of the awards.

The entire Japanese literary world was shocked!

That was an award in the name of Mr. Akutagawa!If you win the prize, you will be able to meet Mr. Akutagawa in real life!

Maybe you can shake hands, take photos together, and get compliments from Mr. Akutagawa.

reader:……! !

Reader: I'm an author from now on! !

It is now the beginning of March, and there are still five months before the selection of the first Akutagawa Award, which is enough time for newcomers to start writing short stories.

I can submit a manuscript, and the submission address is the magazine of Kikuchi Hiroshita's Bungeishunjusha, and the magazine of Alando Publishing House, which signed a contract with Akutagawa. At present, there are three publishing houses trying to get a piece of the pie, and they are actively discussing with Kikuchi Hiroshi, but these That's not the part that Akutagawa Ryunosuke is concerned about.

"An award in the name of Mr. Akutagawa Akutagawa...!"

Higuchi Ichiyo was slowly trembling with the hand holding the dessert, her amber eyes were rounded, her pupils quivered, her face was flushed, her breathing was short of breath, and she staggered towards the Akutagawa house, very restless Muttering to himself: "Yes yes yes, Mr. Akutagawa is so outstanding, it is a matter of course to establish a literary award in the name of the teacher, as an editor, as an editor, as an editor..."

Higuchi Ichiyo's voice froze.

half an hour.

She slowly squeezed out a heartfelt voice from her throat:

"Ah—I really want to..."

"I really want...the Akutagawa Award."

the other end.

Armed Detective Agency.

Osamu Dazai, who got the news, stopped humming with headphones as if he had pressed the pause button.

"As expected of a big brother, right!" Sayaka Akutagawa shared with everyone in the detective agency with a soft and bright smile while being proud and excited.

After all, not everyone can set up a literary award in their own name, and it can even cause heated discussions and sensations.

Akutagawa Sayaka, 18 years old, and detective agency clerk Tanizaki Naomi are in the same school and are currently working part-time here.

The usual work is just sorting out paperwork, recording data, and pouring tea for customers. Unlike investigators like Dazai Osamu and Oda Sakunosuke who often go out, Sayaka is just a logistics.

Even so, the relationship between everyone is still very good, without any prejudice.

"As expected of Akutagawa Ryunosuke." Odasaku was slightly surprised for a moment, and praised from the bottom of his heart: "It's amazing."

"Is that Mr. Akutagawa Ryunosuke?" Kunikida Doppo raised his head from his obsession with work, and pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose. "If it's that teacher, it's not surprising that he can achieve such an achievement."

Kunikida Doppo met Akutagawa Ryunosuke, because their younger sister Sayaka worked part-time here, and occasionally the great writer would drop by to pick her up.

That is really a man who is awe-inspiring when you meet him.

Although he looks young and his body is a little thin, his calm temperament and deep dark eyes make him look unfathomable, and he is very kind to his younger siblings, responsible, mature and outstanding.

Of course, the one thing Kunikida respects the most is that Mr. Akutagawa Ryunosuke is the only one who can alert that bastard Osamu Dazai with just one word, no, just one figure.

Osamu Dazai, a former mafia cadre—of course Kunikida Doppo doesn’t know this, and the detective agency doesn’t explore other people’s past preferences—in short, he is a bad habitual offender who skips work and skips work.

As Dazai's current partner, Kunikida suffered greatly from it.

For example, the black-haired, iris-eyed man would pretend to be nonchalant and stuff the mission report he was supposed to write into the pile of documents on Kunikida's desk, and he would slip away halfway when he went out to investigate, and then he would find it in Kunikida's irritable way. When they met, they found that the other party was lying in the river and drifting with the waves.

In the end, he even dared to lie down and snatch fish openly and aboveboard.

Kunikida's violent criticism: No. 1 for being lazy.

but!

If Mr. Akutagawa came to the detective agency to pick Sayaka home, the situation would be completely different!

That Dazai Osamu, the king of fishing, would pretend to be conscientious without saying a word, sitting at his desk that was basically a decoration and working!

Just to make a conversation when his favorite Mr. Akutagawa picked him up, and then the other party said, "You've worked hard."

Dazai: Oh, I am very happy.

Then with a bright smile on his face, he finished the report readily.

It was extremely rare, comparable to the end of the world, and shocked Kunikida!

How much Osamu Dazai respects Mr. Akutagawa is obvious to everyone in the detective agency. Therefore, when Sayaka happily unfolded the newspaper and shared the Akutagawa Award with them, almost everyone—except Osamu Dazai himself Except for the inexplicably natural Odasaku—all looked at Dazai.

Osamu Dazai stopped humming on the sofa.

Osamu Dazai took off his earphones.

Osamu Dazai stood up, silently walked in front of Sayaka, and took the newspaper away.

Then--

The youth's iris-colored pupils shone like fireflies floating on a summer night.

"Dazai, don't you-" Kunikida looked at the young man in front of him hesitantly, "Do you want to participate?"

"This is the Akutagawa Award!!!"

Osamu Dazai yelled out, clasping his hands together like a kid who got candy, "This award should be given to me!"

"Why?" Oda asked seriously.

"Because no one respects Akutagawa-sensei more than me!"

"Huh? This is not an award that can be won based on who is more respected." Kunikida complained, "What's more, can you really write? It's better to let Oda participate."

"By the way, speaking of participation... Oda, why don't you go and submit your manuscript." Speaking of this, Kunikida Doppo raised his head and looked at the man with reddish brown hair who looked a bit decadent, "You You originally wanted to be a novelist, right?...Ah, I know you are writing an article right now, but it is a novel, right? It hasn’t been finished yet, and I don’t know how long it will take to publish according to your progress. Why don't you try it from a different angle now, if it's you, the possibility of winning is higher, see—"

Kunikida Doppo snatched the newspaper from Dazai, read it, and then showed it to Sakunosuke Oda: "The scope is short stories, only open to new writers, the deadline is August, oh, so there are five more Months, I have plenty of time, and finally...a bonus of 100 million yen, Oda, don’t you have a bunch of orphans in your family? Anyway, it’s no cost to you, and if you win the prize, it’s also an income. "

"That's what you said."

Oda Sakunosuke blinked and nodded calmly.

"Wait a minute! Why didn't Kunikida say that to me!" Osamu Dazai jumped up dissatisfied, "That's too much! Oda Saku too!"

"What's wrong with me?" Oda Sakunosuke looked at his friend in confusion.

"I am bound to win the Akutagawa Prize!"

Osamu Dazai narrowed his kite-colored eyes: "Even if it's Odasaku, I won't show mercy!"

"Well, in that case, the possibility of me winning is not very high." Odasaku thought for a while, then nodded calmly and seriously, "I haven't seen Dazai fail in what he is determined to do."

"Except for literature." Kunikida gave Dazai a disgusted look: "This is not something that can be done with brains. The reason why literature can be called literature is precisely because it carries the author's feelings and thoughts. Not only that, but the accumulation of writing skills and knowledge is also very important, Dazai, you have such a hard time writing a report, can you really write a work?"

Osamu Dazai blinked his iris-colored eyes, and smiled: "Oh, Kunikida, just wait and see."

"After all, compared with other newcomer writers, I have a shocking advantage?"

"Advantage?"

"Of course it is—"

Osamu Dazai held his chest exaggeratedly, "I can visit Mr. Akutagawa!"

"If I can write an article that makes Mr. Akutagawa nod, even the judges will have nothing to say!"

Dazai Zhizhi nodded confidently.

"Forget it." Kunikida wiped his face, and patted Sakunosuke Oda on the shoulder: "Forget about that bandage waste device, Oda, go for it, try to contribute, everything must come first If you want to become a novelist, this award will help you in the future, even if you are selected, it is very good."

Seeing his colleague's serious face, Oda Sakunosuke nodded appreciatively and hummed.
