Bungo common problem

Chisato got the answer, and was very happy to only take endings 1 and 2, left the Armed Detective Agency and returned home to send a backup to the editor.

In the Armed Detective Agency, Fukuzawa Yukichi, who participated in the whole process, silently stared at the manuscript paper with ending 3 on the table. state of concern.

However, I still can't be happy...

he thinks.

The seriousness is too great, and because of the fear of the consequences, no matter what you do, you have to consider whether you say it or not.

"Random steps."

He looked at Edogawa Ranpo and asked.

"What are your thoughts?"

Interrupting his words and letting the other party use the third ending, such a thing is tantamount to being exposed.He wasn't walking in disorder, and since he could easily see something, others could, of course.

As long as this "Foreign Land" is released, relevant conjectures will definitely spread among the public, and it will be equivalent to letting Qianli discover that the meaning of her ending is not as happy as she imagined.

In this matter, neither ending 1 nor ending 2 is far less alarming than the third ending.Even if the first two are released, all kinds of understandings from the outside world will probably be covered up by the other party with "the protagonist wants it himself".

Under such circumstances, did it bring her the same self-cover up as now, or a sudden realization after waking up?

Most importantly, what will she do after she wakes up? None of the endings in "A Foreign Land" is truly satisfactory.

"She'll know sooner or later."

Edogawa Luanpo withdrew his gaze from the door, and looked at Fukuzawa Yukichi.

"I thought so, but it's... very complicated."

He frowned in confusion, not knowing how to describe it.

Although he is determined to help Qianli, he is still not sure how to really pull people back to normal.

The experiences of the two people are similar but different. Although they also left their parents, were alone and could not see their relatives again, and met a good person worthy of entrustment just like he met the president, but in the final analysis, the other party is not the same as himself. the same.

He can't use his own experience to apply to the other party. Even a famous detective who can see the truth at a glance cannot 100% guarantee the hearts of people who are not pure reasoning but full of surprises.

Accident, chance, coincidence, flash of inspiration.Even with a 1% probability, there is a possibility of sudden appearance.

Before the apple fell on Newton, who knew he would come up with the law of gravitation?

"I originally thought to let her let her before she found out... well, just no more bad thoughts, such as new goals or other things."

Hearing what Ranpo said, Fukuzawa Yukichi nodded.

"Very reasonable."

If there is no goal, recreate the goal, and if there is no fetter, recreate the fetter. Many times, it is such things that support people to move forward.

"But when I read Qianli's new book, I knew it was too late for this idea, and then I thought about it carefully, and I found that my hometown is irreplaceable."

If she hadn't written the book, or if the content wasn't this or something else that wasn't enough to reveal, maybe he'd have time to think of other things, but things like accidents are inevitable.

Edogawa ran away with the last smile on his face, looking serious.

"Although I used to hate the village I lived in when I was a child, it is undeniable that it is the place where I lived with my parents for many years."

It's like going abroad and wanting to eat local food, and wanting to return home sooner.

"And she's not Japanese."

Under Fukuzawa Yukichi's surprised gaze, Edogawa Ranpo dropped a bomb.

"She's a flower grower."

"Planting flowers...?"

Fukuzawa Yukichi never doubted Ranpo's judgment. This was something he never thought about. He always thought that the other party was from Japan.

It is an anecdote that a literary giant who is well-known in Japan and will be regarded as a national treasure is actually a flower grower.

But with this reason, everything has an explanation.

I can only stay in Yokohama, and my hometown is only separated by an ocean but I can never go back.

--I see.

"Anyway, that's it."

Edogawa Ranpo simply pulled up a chair and sat on the side of the desk, with half of his face pressed against the desk, looking sluggish and lifeless.

"After the book is published, no matter which ending is adopted, she will know, so it's the same. The most important thing is..."

Maintaining this posture, Edogawa Ranpo suddenly opened his eyes, and there was a thorough insight in the blue eyes.

"She has something she can't tell, which is related to her state."

"Can't tell?"

"I can't tell."

Hearing Ranpo's firm answer, Fukuzawa Yukichi suddenly fell silent again.

It seems that it is more difficult to fix Chaobu than it was at the beginning, at least he knew the reason at that time, but this is not only missing, but also unable to dig deep.

"Maybe... no, forget it."

Luanbu on the side muttered softly.

"If you die and can't eat snacks, it's thanks, and there is still time."

As he spoke, he straightened up again, the reddish marks on one side of his cheeks pressed against the table were particularly obvious on his white and tender face, making him look even more childish.

"Ah—don't think about it for now. Anyway, as long as Oda Sakunosuke doesn't have an accident, it will take a long time. Sooner or later, I will pull her over."

He showed his usual confident smile again.

"There is nothing in the world that a famous detective can't do!"

……

……

Chisato contacted the editor after sorting out "Foreign Land" and sent it to Odasaku and Dazai.And Hayato Asakawa, who didn't know anything about what happened before, just because Qianli changed houses, rushed to receive the new novel, and the whole person was quite excited.

But the excitement is the excitement, and the worry is still very worrying.

"Teacher, don't you really consider taking a break?"

Asakawa Hayato held a thick stack of manuscripts and looked at Chisato worriedly.

"The previous "Fate" has only been released for two months. Teacher, you have written a new book so soon, your health is important!"

Writing a book is a labor-intensive task, or is it a literary book written by a teacher. Which famous writer now has the speed of the teacher?

All of them are so polished that they can't wait to publish a book in a year or two. Compared with the teacher, she is so hardworking that people worry that she will be exhausted physically and mentally!

He even has the illusion that he is squeezing the teacher to keep writing otz

"Thank you for your concern. I just wrote a little bit. I know what I know, and it won't hurt me."

Qianli waved his hand, not paying attention.

"I wrote this book very smoothly. Except for a little tangled in the middle, I wrote the rest very easily."

It was really smooth, except that Nizi insisted on fighting against her :)

"Anyway, Asakawa-kun, let's take it back and have a look."

"Yes!"

Asakawa-kun nodded subconsciously, just about to stand up from the sofa, suddenly remembered something, and quickly added.

"Teacher, have you heard of the [Thousand Miles Reward] that is being discussed in the outside world?"

"I saw some on the Internet."

After all, there are related topics in the push, so of course she knows it.

Qianli spoke hesitantly.

"Finally refuted the rumor?"

After all, all the [xx Rewards] appeared after the author passed away. She is a living person with such a delicate age, so she always feels awkward?

"That's right, teacher, the editorial department got the news that [Thousand Miles Reward] is likely to be implemented!"

Asakawa Hayato puffed up his chest and raised his head, his eyes were full of excitement.

"Teacher! You are the first person to achieve such an achievement, enough to be recorded in history!"

"……Oh."

Qianli nodded with strange eyes, but didn't feel any excitement.If I had to say it, it would probably be... I was right that I didn't show my face in the first place!

Writing this kind of seemingly in-depth novel, if others know my age, my sales will be a lot lower, let alone set up special awards for myself.

"Teacher is worthy of being a teacher. Under such an honor, he can remain calm."

Asakawa Hayato, who didn't know Chisato's thoughts at all, tried hard to suppress the corners of his lips that rose wildly.

"I lost my temper, the teacher will definitely achieve greater achievements in the future!"

[Thousands of Miles] is not the end of the teacher, the teacher will definitely break out of Japan and go to the world in the future!It is better to say that many foreign publishing houses have come to talk about it.

I have long been used to Asakawa Hayato's blind confidence in her, and after talking about Qianli, he sent her away directly.

Asakawa Hayato, who left, returned to the editorial department immediately, and after bringing another copy to the editor-in-chief, he began to read "Foreign Land".

It was nearly two o'clock when he got the novel, and after reading it for the first time, the melancholy in his heart couldn't go away.

The ending seemed to be happy, but he felt an inexplicable chill in such a sweltering summer.

The seemingly happy ending is filled with a strange feeling in many details, as if the words have been corrected with correction tape, but just covered on top and replaced with new words.

There is great sadness hidden in this ending.

—He was a little homesick.

Speaking of which, how long has it been since I went back to the countryside to see my parents?Immersed in the hustle and bustle of the city and the busyness of work, the only communication left is greetings on the phone.

Asakawa Hayato looked up at the time, it was already night, his colleagues had already left work after reminding him to no avail, and he was the only one in the huge editorial department... No, the editor's office was still lit.

He stood up and stretched his stiff body. After hesitating for a while, he came to the door of the editor-in-chief's office.

"Boom boom boom——"

"Editor-in-chief?"

"Asakawa-kun?"

The editor-in-chief's voice came from inside the door, but it felt muffled for some reason.Asakawa Hayato didn't think too much, but just reminded him tactfully.

"Editor-in-chief, it's getting late, please pay attention to your body."

Across the door, the editor-in-chief's answer sounded quickly.

"I still have something to do, Asakawa-kun will leave first."

Asakawa had no doubts about him, and soon stopped bothering the editor-in-chief.The editor-in-chief, who was alone in the office, took out a tissue and wiped his nose vigorously, throwing it into the trash can where there were already piles of papers. The reddish eye sockets indicated his mood at the moment.

In this state, his majesty is probably not directly falling off a cliff.

"This is really..."

The editor-in-chief looked at the novel on the desktop that had been turned to the last page for a long time with a wry smile, and couldn't help sighing.

"As expected of Teacher Qianli, the emotion contained in this article can resonate with readers beyond imagination."

It's a different type from the previous books, even people like him, let alone other people.

A phenomenon-level article will definitely cause a continuous wave of returning home.

The editor-in-chief took a deep breath and let it out slowly, looking out the window in the night with wistful eyes.

If you have time... let's go back to my hometown and have a look.
