Revive it!Wenhao Press

Although he had explained his situation to the police, Hualichun still had to provide the name of an adult who could come and take him away upon request.

By the time Kamado Tanjuro and Kamado Tanjiro arrived at the police station together, the matter was basically settled.

Whether it is Hualichun or the paparazzi who was crushed by the camera, they are silent about the content of the camera.Therefore, the police were extremely suspicious that the paparazzi had secretly photographed Hualichun, a female high school student, and she crushed the camera under her resistance.

In this case, Hualichun received the most gentle treatment.

But in any case, the memory card has been crushed together with the camera, and the police do not have any evidence to convict the paparazzi. It is true that Hualichun crushed the paparazzi's camera and injured his fingers.Therefore, the final result of the treatment is that Huali purely compensated the camera and finger treatment costs, a total of 13 yen.

When Zaomen and his son left the police station with Hualichun, the paparazzi happened to leave at the same time, covering his crudely bandaged fingers.Seeing the figure of the paparazzi, Kamado Tanjiro's forehead suddenly bulged with traces of blood vessels due to anger.

"Doing nasty things to girls who are underage..." He subconsciously held Hualichun's hand tightly, and cursed loudly, "You despicable person!"

The paparazzi subconsciously turned around, and what caught his eyes was the girl just now, and the father and son who came to pick her up.

The girl looked at him with indifferent eyes, and among the father and son who looked similar, the dark red eyes of the boy were burning with anger. Although the thin father didn't show his emotions too much, he didn't stop his son. His eyes looked like It's like looking at scum.

The paparazzi's face changed, but in the end he still couldn't say anything, turned around and left angrily.

Hualichun did not mention the specific reasons to the Zaomen father and son.She had already promised that Runo Kisaragi would keep it a secret, so no matter who came, she would not reveal that the person who was secretly photographed by the paparazzi was actually Runo Kisaragi.

From taking over Hoshinosha until now, Huali Jun has met so many writers.Needless to say, the monster-like literary giant dog, but the images of other writers who do not belong to Hoshinosha also come into view at this time.

Among them, there was Kakashi Koyama who almost retired, but he finally picked up the pen again and continued on the path of writing.

As a result, Kisaragi Ru who I met today was the first one who chose to give up writing.

"Xiaochun...Xiaochun?"

Kamado Tanjirou's panicked voice reached his ears.Hualichun raised her head, but suddenly found that Zaomen father and son were looking at her in surprise.

It wasn't until this moment that she realized that there seemed to be some warm liquid gushing out of her eye sockets and sliding across her cheeks.

"Huh?" Hualichun raised her hand, touched her face and looked down, "Am I crying?"

"Xiaochun, is it because of that person?" Tanjiro Kamado asked nervously, "What did he do to you? Is it too much?"

He turned around and walked towards the direction where the paparazzi left: "Sure enough, I should bring him back and ask for clarification..."

"No, don't do that."

Hanagarashi grabbed the hem of Kamado Tanjiro's clothes.She tightened her fingers, and tears fell to the ground.

"I just... feel sorry for someone," she whispered.

If Runo Kisaragi, if there was someone who always wanted to write something, but was always afraid of revealing her true self, how pitiful she would be.

This is not a question of what articles to write, but a question of self-seeking.

Self-assertion is something as natural as breathing.But if this natural thing becomes pain, if even the self itself is denied, what will it take to go on.

"Who is that person...?" Kamado Tanjirou asked cautiously.

"...I can't tell." Hualichun sobbed, "I can't tell anyone about her. So no one knows what she gave up except me."

"I originally thought that as long as I showed my true self in front of her, I could get her real articles. Everything I did for this was meaningful. But the situation is not that simple."

Hualichun raised her hands to cover her face, and tears rolled down from between her fingers: "I can't criticize her reasons at all, and she has kept her face up until now anyway, not wanting her to be shaken by my emotions .But it is because of this that I feel so unwilling."

"I can't protect it...!!"

The red-haired boy turned around, opened his arms and hugged Hualichun gently, and patted her on the back lightly: "Really."

"Although I don't understand what you are talking about, and I have no way of knowing who that person is, but if you can make you cry for her like this, she should also get some comfort." Kamado Tanjiro said softly.

"No. Her job is to make everyone laugh." Huali Jun grabbed Tanjirou Kamado's clothes, "She won't."

"...No," the red-haired boy's gaze was firm, "she will."

"She won't, uhhhhhh!"

Tanjiro Kamado was startled by Jun Hanagi's sudden burst of volume, and trembled all over: "Hey!"

……

"When I passed by, I suddenly heard someone calling Xiaochun, Xiaochun. Is it really her?"

A muscular black-haired man was leaning against the corner wall in the distance.He raised his hand and scratched the scar on his lip.

Zenyuan Shier looked at Hualichun at the entrance of the police station from a distance, with an inexplicable expression: "Why is she in the police station? Who are the kid and the man with her? Has she been adopted?"

Looking at Hualichun from a distance, Zenyuan Shier found that she had developed from shedding tears in a daze at the beginning to crying loudly on the shoulder of the red-haired boy, her whole face was red and wrinkled like a newborn baby. Together, it looks like they are working hard on Yan Yi, which is completely different from the previous impression on him.And the pair, who looked like father and son, were in a hurry, hugging and patting her to comfort her.

"What, why are you crying so ugly?" He muttered in a low voice, "It's not at all the same as the calmness outside my house."

"After all, she's just a teenage girl."

Looking at Hualichun, the scene of her accepting the award on behalf of Dazai Nakahara at the Classical Art and Literature Award appeared in the live TV broadcast in Zenyuan Shier's mind.

"...Although my luck has always been bad, let's bet on her and try." Chanyuan Shier seemed to have finally made a decision, looked away, turned and left quietly.

When receiving the call, Tomo Noguchi was a little surprised: "Miss Kisaragi."

"Editor-in-Chief Noguchi, the content of the third column has just been sent via email." Runo Kizuki's voice sounded the same as usual from the microphone, "Please check it."

"So fast." Satoshi Noguchi opened the mailbox, and found a new email from Runo Kisaragi a few minutes ago, "There is still half a month before the deadline for the manuscript, has Ms. Kisaragi finished it? If all the teachers can With this speed, I can feel at ease."

"You won the prize."

Although Kisaragi Luno's voice was as energetic as if she was on the stage, she on the other end of the phone lowered her eyes and bit her lip.

The address for other writers is "teacher (せんせい)", but is it "Miss Kisaragi (さん)" for her?

However, this is also a matter of course.After all she...

But, it doesn't matter anymore.

I finally said all those words, and I always feel that even my heart has become lighter, and I can go on the road lightly again.

Kisaragi Runo fell silent, but Noguchi Satoshi didn't care.He opened the email directly, and browsed through the third serial manuscript sent by Runo Kisaragi.

Soon, he finished browsing the [-]-word manuscript.

Kisaragi Luno's writing is still as beautiful as ever, and the anecdotes written in the entertainment world are quite interesting and pleasing, and the scale is also well grasped.

As Tomo Noguchi once said to Akira Shimizu.It is enough for an idol to appear on the stage beautifully, show people his cute side while smiling and singing, and become the spiritual support of fans.

"It's very well written," said Noguchi. "We'll publish it."

"Ah."

"Also, about the renewal of the column series."

Noguchi Satoshi leaned back slightly and leaned against the back of the swivel office chair.Holding the phone in his hand, he continued, "Miss Kisaragi's anthology has sold quite well, and the serialization of the column has also received enthusiastic response and received a lot of praise. Fan letters have also flowed in like snowflakes. Now the situation is very good, I think that if Miss Kisaragi is suitable, Column serialization can continue.”

"Ah...this." Kisaragi Runo's voice came from the other end of the phone, "Please allow me to refuse this matter."

The office chair stopped spinning, and Noguchi Satoshi sat on the office chair with no expression on his face.

"Can I understand why?" he asked after a moment's pause.

"Because... I don't think my writing is good enough." Runo Kisaragi on the other end of the phone replied, "To be honest, I have always been apprehensive about the literature answer sheet I handed in."

"I am very grateful for this opportunity to cooperate with Bailang Society...and "The Times of Literature and Art". But the serialization for a period of time also made me understand many things that I didn't understand at the beginning. That's why I made this article Decide."

"...Miss Kisaragi," Noguchi Satoshi's voice could not hear any extra emotion, "isn't the sales figure of your article not enough to satisfy you?"

Kisaragi Runo breathed lightly on the other end of the phone, and she replied, "Yes."

Noguchi Tomo sighed: "Since Kisaragi-san made such a decision, although we feel sorry for it, we respect your opinion."

"but."

Noguchi Satoshi's tone has finally changed slightly: "The following is a little friendly suggestion from me."

"Miss Kisaragi, you used to be perfect in the past, but at this moment you are heading down a dangerous path." He said, "Whether it is what you were thinking just now or what you said to me, it is very dangerous. .”

Kisaragi Ruuno held her breath subconsciously, sweating a little: "Ha..."

But at this time, Noguchi Satoshi regained that polite and eager tone: "In short, for the unpublished third serial, if there is anything to discuss, or if you want to modify it, you can contact me at any time. .I look forward to having the opportunity to work with Ms. Kisaragi again in the future.”

call ended.

After putting down the phone, Tomo Noguchi looked at the article displayed on the computer screen with a confused expression.

Articles are just commodities.It should not be used to pin oneself and feelings.

Otherwise, the writer will be doomed.

the other side.

After sorting out her emotions and returning to Hoshinosha, Jun Huali suddenly received an email.

"Wednesday at four o'clock in the afternoon to No. 4-2-26, Ikebukuro..." Hualichun murmured, "...the signature is 'your generous uncle'...?"

The memory of many months ago came back again.Thinking of the scene where Zenyuan Shier forcibly pressed the glasses that could see the curse on her face, Hualichun couldn't help feeling that the bridge of her nose seemed to be aching again: "..."

……

The next day, four o'clock in the afternoon.

After finishing school, Jun Hana came to Ikebukuro.

Following the mobile phone navigation all the way, after finally arriving at the agreed place, Hualichun showed a dazed expression on his face.

——Appeared in front of her was a four-story building with colorful exterior walls.On the sign above the entrance decorated with bright flowers and plants, there are a few words written in cute round fonts: Sunshine Huahua Kindergarten.

Kindergarten is at the end of school time, parents and children are coming and going in and out of the kindergarten building, and there are still nurses wearing aprons and smiling at the door.

After confirming again and again that the location was correct, Hualichun held the phone and walked forward hesitantly: "Hello... I was asked to find a person named 'Hui', is he there?"

"Oh!" The childcare worker was slightly startled, and looked at the girl in the sailor suit in front of her a few times, but her tone was a little surprised, "So it's you. I'll call Xiaohui over right away."

Hualichun watched helplessly as the childcare worker turned and walked into the kindergarten building. Not long after, a child about five years old was brought out.

This is a black-haired boy wearing a black T-shirt, dark blue trousers, and carrying a small brown schoolbag.The little boy has fair skin and is only as tall as an adult's thigh, revealing his thin and lonely wrists and ankles.

Although held by the nursery staff, he kept his head down, in stark contrast to the children bouncing around.

"Xiaohui is here." The childcare worker led the little boy to Hualichun.

Hualichun looked at the black-haired boy who still didn't raise his head in astonishment.

——The person Shier asked her to find in the Chanyuan was a five or six-year-old boy?
