Revive it!Wenhao Press

On the third day of the new year, the winter vacation is over.

In the morning, reporters were waiting on the streets near Wisteria Academy to film her going to school.

Among the students of Wisteria Academy, most of them already know that President Hoshinosha is a student of the same school as themselves.When the few students who didn't know were stopped by reporters and wanted to interview, they showed shocked expressions without exception.

"These two classmates, can I delay you for a while?"

On the way, the Zaomen brothers and sisters walking side by side to the school were stopped by a reporter.The reporter held a microphone and asked eagerly: "Do you know that the president of Hoshinosha Jun Huali is a student of Wisteria Flower Academy? Have you ever had contact with Jun Huali?"

"Sorry, we don't know anything." The siblings looked at each other, Tanjirou Kamado said.

"Is that so..."

The reporter was a little disappointed.But there were so many students going to school on the road, he quickly turned to the next target not far away: "Excuse me..."

"It's so noisy." Before the reporter had time to speak, the blocked Immortal Chuan Xuanya bumped away the reporter and the photographer with his shoulder, and walked towards the school gate without looking back.

"..."

At the same time, Kamado Tanjiro took his sister and walked away quickly and calmly.

After approaching the school, there were no reporters around.That's because Tomioka Yoshiyuki, a physical education and life teacher, was still standing at the intersection with a blank expression, wearing sportswear and holding a wooden knife as usual.And the person next to him is a math teacher with a scar on his face and a fierce look, Immortal Kawasami.

From a distance, two other teachers could be seen standing on the road on the other side.History teacher Purgatory Kyojuro's fire-colored hair is extremely eye-catching no matter where he is.And standing next to him was a man as tall as a mountain, the head teacher of the Xun group where Tanjirou Zaomen worked.

The reporter in the distance looked at the school gate, although his face was a little eager to try, but after making eye contact with the teachers guarding the gate, he stopped his tentative pace immediately.

In the distance, several traffic policemen were coming from the corner of the street, trying to maintain order on the way to school for the students of Wisteria Middle School under the siege of reporters.

Looking away, Kamado Tanjiro led his sister and quickly walked into the school.

After parting from his sister at the school gate, the red-haired boy walked quickly around the school building.After that, he stopped.

Appearing from the shadows behind the building was a purple-haired girl in a horn button coat and sailor uniform, holding a mobile phone in her hand.

After hearing footsteps, the girl withdrew her gaze from looking at the phone and turned around.

"Tanjiro!" Huali Jun waved his hand at Kamado Tanjiro, "You saw my Line message."

Kamado Tanjirou paused in his steps.Then, he took another step and walked quickly to Hualichun.

"Didn't the reporters notice you when you came in?" He asked with concern.

"Hmm! I asked Shier to climb over the wall and bring me in." Hualichun nodded.

Hearing this, Tanjiro Kamado didn't say anything else, but took out the handheld and USB flash drive from his bag, and handed them to Jun Hanashi.

"Give it back to you," he said.

"Thank you for keeping it safe for me." Hualichun took over the handheld and USB flash drive.

She pressed the buttons on the phone a few times.When I found that the displayed screen was still being upgraded, although I was a little disappointed, I wasn't too surprised.

After putting the handheld and USB flash drive into the schoolbag, Hualichun turned around and took two steps, only to find that the bamboo horse was standing there, motionless.

"Tanjirou?" She turned her head and asked in bewilderment.

Kamado Tanjiro looked down at the withered grass tips on the ground.After a while, he raised his head: "Is that all?"

"Eh?" Hualichun was a little stunned.

"When I saw Xiaochun go to Kyoto on TV, my parents, my brothers and sisters were very nervous." Tanjiro Kamado said softly, "Xiaochun, what will happen next?"

"Now the whole country knows your identity, and the original writers can't be contacted, right?" He raised his head, his charcoal-colored eyes were full of worry, "What are you going to do next?"

Hualichun was silent for a moment, then finally raised her head and looked in the direction of the office.

"I'm going to apologize," she said.

……

"I'm very sorry, because of my personal affairs, the media gathered near the school and caused so much trouble to the school, teachers and students."

In the teacher's office, Hualichun bowed deeply, and held out the gift of apology: "I'm really sorry."

It was almost time for class, and the school gate was closed. The teachers who had been maintaining order near the school gate had all returned to their offices.Seeing that Hualichun came to the teacher's office to bow and apologize, the teachers were a little dazed.

Biology teacher Butterfly Kanae subconsciously covered her mouth: "Before I actually admitted it, I never had the real feeling that I really was this child..."

"Apology or something..." Art teacher Yu Sui Tianyuan couldn't help but said, "It's not necessary..."

"Mr. Yusui, everything is my responsibility." Hua Lichun interrupted Yusui Tianyuan's words, "I hope to compensate the losses caused to the school with my own strength as much as possible. Therefore, the compensation plan proposed by the school, I will do as much as possible.”

The silence lasted for a moment, and Xiang Kai suddenly stood up.

"If I really want to say it, I am also responsible." He walked to Hualichun and bowed to her colleagues together. "I discovered this matter a year ago, but I didn't report it to the school..."

Seeing this, Yoshiyuki Tomioka also stood up expressionlessly.

"Then I have to apologize." He walked to the side of the two and stood upright. "As a life teacher, although I found that Huali's grades and attendance rate had declined, I didn't notice the reason behind it."

"For students to choose to face these alone instead of asking adults for help is in itself a failure of my duty as a teacher and as an adult. So I am willing to share the punishment with them."

After finishing speaking, Yoshiyuki Tomioka also lowered his head.

"No, there is no such thing as a rule that must be reported to the school..." Undead Kawa Minami murmured in a low voice, "What's more, which school doesn't have a problem student? Huali is not the worst student here. It's a headache..."

Speaking of this, he thought of something, and his expression twisted instantly: "The most troublesome one is really the one who comes to school with a pig's head..."

"En! Undead Chuan is right!" Purgatory Xingshoulang nodded vigorously, "If the flower pear girl brought a condolence gift for the teacher, then of course we can accept it. But if it is a gift of apology, then we can't accept it. !"

"And I also agree with Tomioka's words." He said loudly, "In the past two years, as a teacher who taught you, he failed to help you in the slightest while teaching, which is really embarrassing. I really want to find a place to drill down! So, I also want to apologize to you!"

"sorry!"

From the corner of the eye, a fiery owl-like head appeared in front of him and bowed deeply towards him. Hualichun had no choice but to lower his head a little lower: "..."

In the stalemate, a voice suddenly sounded behind Hualichun: "Are you Mr. Huali?"

Hualichun was stunned for a moment, then straightened up.The teachers in front of her looked behind her one after another, with surprise expressions on their faces.

"...Chairman?"

Hualijun turned around, and what caught her eyes was a smiling black-haired young man in a white kimono haori.

Wisteria High School is a private school with a high deviation value, but the tuition fee is not as high as other private schools, but is almost the same as public high schools.All credit goes to the Ubayashiki family who founded the school.

And the current chairman of the school is the current patriarch of the Ubayashiki clan, Ubayashiki Yoya.

Recognizing that the handsome and kind man in front of him is the chairman of the board who speaks at the opening and graduation ceremonies every year, Hualichun quickly said: "About the commotion around the school..."

"You don't need to worry about this kind of thing." Yuya Miyayashiki said with a smile, "Starting tomorrow, the security around the school will be strengthened, and the traffic police have already said hello. The reporters should not come to harass the children here anymore. .”

"Yiyong and the others are right. There is absolutely no need for such things as apology." He took the apology ceremony she had held for a long time from Hualichun's hand, "Is this a snack? Let's treat it as a student-to-teacher gift." Thank you for taking it."

"From now on, all students in this school, including Hanagi-kun, will be protected by the school until they graduate." Yuya Ubuyashiki rolled up Haori's sleeves and said gently, "Hanashiki-kun only needs to be as long as you have always been. That way, you can go to school with peace of mind every day.”

"...This matter is unavoidable." Hua Lichun's words made the teachers startled, "I hope to go through the formalities of suspending school for at least half a year."

In the case of a handheld failure, magazine completion will be more difficult than in the past, and the storage and delivery services provided by the handheld will not be available.With less than two weeks to go until the next issue of Monthly Literature, the magazine had to be completed and a suitable printing house, warehouse and logistics company found.If these jobs are only done during school hours and weekends, I will not be able to keep busy.

Therefore, Hualichun decided to suspend school temporarily before everything stabilized and she was sure that she had enough energy to deal with Hoshino Club's affairs and attend classes at the same time.

"Hua Li, are you sure?" Yoshioka Tomioka asked in a low voice, "By April, you will be a third-year high school student. Applying for a leave of absence at this time will make graduation very dangerous."

"Yes, I'm sure." Hualichun replied, "Because I can't take care of both the school and the publishing house at the same time, I chose the publishing house first. What's more, as long as the news of my suspension from school spreads, the reporters will no longer besiege me The school and the students. Everyone can go to school with peace of mind."

Tomioka Yoshiyuki stared at Hualijun for a few seconds in surprise, and finally said: "Really. The graduation matter will also be postponed for you..."

"No. I still want to graduate on time in a year."

The purple-haired girl pursed her lips and said in a low voice: "Although I decided to put the publishing company's priority above my personal life, I don't want to give up my life."

"I want to attend the same graduation ceremony as the friends I know, sing the school song together at the ceremony, have the same graduation photo and the same graduation photo album." She paused, "I want to go to a university in Tokyo a year later .”

"For this reason, even during the suspension period, I will work hard to study independently. Once I have spare time, I will immediately apply for resumption of school."

Mom and Dad had to choose between Hoshinosha and private life, and chose the publishing house, and they couldn't even get their biological daughter back before they were alive.But what her parents can't do doesn't mean she can't do it either.

"There is no need to think about postponing graduation." Facing the teachers, Huali Chun said loudly, "Because I will definitely graduate on time."

……

After holding the letter of permission to suspend school with the chairman's signature and seal in his hand, Jun Hanagi bowed to Yoya Miyayashiki behind the desk.

She was just about to leave, but Yaoya Shiki, the obstetrician, suddenly stopped her: "Mr. Huali."

Hualichun stopped in her tracks.Under her somewhat puzzled eyes, Yoya Ubuyashiki smiled and continued: "During the Taisho period, there was a woman who married out of the Ubuyashiki family. Her married husband opened a rather simple children's house at that time. homes for homeless children."

"The surname of the man that the female senior married was Huali." He said softly.

"..."

Hualichun stood there in a daze.After a while, she opened her eyes slightly, and the light in her pupils lit up.

The orphanage she was born in has existed for nearly a hundred years, and all the children in the orphanage have the same surname as the founder of the orphanage, Huali.

"Those two seniors would be very happy if they knew that the orphanage they opened could help children like you." Yoya Miyayashiki looked at Jun Hanagi gently, "That's all I want to say."

"……thank you very much!"

Jun Hanagi bowed again to Yoya Yashiki, and then left the office of the chairman.

When walking through the corridor, the students around recognized her and cast their eyes one after another.Thinking of the media's siege of students in the morning, Hualichun couldn't help but feel guilty.

After walking a few steps, Immortal Chuan Xuanya, who was walking in front of him, paused and quickened his pace after seeing her.

When she was about to pass her by, Hualichun was a little nervous, but the cockscomb boy suddenly stopped and stood in front of her.

"You..." He opened his mouth, paused and then whispered, "You're quite handsome."

Hualichun, who thought she would be blamed, looked up at him in astonishment, and it took two seconds to reflect: "Thank you."

As if making a start, after Immortal Chuan Xuanya stopped Hualichun, the students who were secretly watching around immediately came over and started chatting.

"It's really you... When I saw it on TV, I thought this girl looked familiar, but when I looked closely, I found that she was from the class next door."

"What's it like to start a publishing house? It must be very tiring. But being the first reader of an author makes me feel so happy!"

"I was shocked when I saw the reporter follow you all the way to Kyoto..."

"What is Osamu Dazai like in private?"

Facing the curious questions of the students around, Hualichun stood there blankly, a little at a loss: "Too many people asked me questions at the same time, I can't hear clearly..."

"Huali Huali, I've been buying every issue of "Monthly Literature"!" Seeing this, someone took out the magazine that was specially brought with him.

"Me too! There is also a booklet!" Immediately, another person took out the magazines and booklets that had been prepared.

"I also got a signature color paper in the letter from the reader!"

The student who got the colored paper asked excitedly: "The award ceremony of the New Art and Culture Award will be in March. Will all the writers be there?"

"..."

Hearing this question, Hualichun subconsciously held her breath.

However, before anyone had time to speak, a sharp whistle came from the side.Yoshiyuki Tomioka, with a whistle hanging around his neck and a wooden knife in his arms, had arrived beside the students at some point.

"Gathering is prohibited in the corridor." He let out his whistle and said expressionlessly, "If you violate it, you will be punished..."

"Hey! It's Mr. Tomioka!"

Seeing the unkind physical education teacher appear, the students immediately dispersed.Not long after, Tomioka Yoshiyuki and Huali Jun were the only ones left in the corridor.

"Are you going back now?" Tomioka Giyong still asked after seeing the letter of consent for suspension of school held in Hualijun's hand.

"Yes. I'm sorry to bother the teachers and the chairman of the board today." Hualichun nodded.

The school has already started classes, and the reporters who failed to block her at the school gate have already dispersed.

When Hualichun returned to Xingyesha, Zenyuanjier, who was sitting on the sofa, didn't look back, and casually raised his hand to greet her: "Yo."

"I am back."

After Hualichun put away the suspension notice, she took out a stack of banknotes from the cabinet, turned around and returned to the rest area, and placed them in front of Shier in the Zen garden.

The posture of the man leaning on the sofa did not change, and he glanced casually: "If these are the rewards for cooking, then you are really generous."

"In addition to the remuneration for cooking, there is also your salary in advance."

Hualichun sat down across from Zenyuan Shier: "Hoshinosha is now facing a critical moment of success or failure. Without the handheld, everything will be like other publishing houses, one by one, there is no shortcut to go .I can't do these things alone, so I need your help."

"The fixed monthly salary is still the 50 yuan mentioned in the past. But there are also bonuses that fluctuate with the results of the work. In addition, Megumi is still staying at Tanjiro's house temporarily, and I will pay for board, lodging, tuition and other expenses. And even Well, your board and lodging are all settled at Hoshinosha, and you can use the facilities in the publishing house freely."

She solemnly said to Zenyuan Shier, "I will be in charge of editing, and you will be in charge of sales and business liaison. One day, the teachers will come back. Before that, we must definitely guard Hoshinosha."

Staring at Hualichun for a few seconds, Zenyuan Shier smiled, straightened his body that was lazily leaning on the back of the sofa, and pressed his palm on the envelope containing the money on the table.

"There are too few of these alone. But since you can read books casually, I will promise you this time." He picked up the envelope and weighed it, and raised the corners of his mouth unabashedly at Hualichun, "I want shares in the future. .”

……

January fifteenth.

While the news about the president of Hoshinosha was still hot, the new issue of "Monthly Literature" was released regularly as usual.

In the Sanxianwu Bookstore, the owner and his wife put up a sign saying "The latest issue of "Monthly Literature" has arrived" at the door of the store early in the morning;

In Date Bookstore, the head of the magazine section wearing disc glasses carefully arranged the magazines on the bookshelf neatly;

In Ideal Country Bookstore, Xiao Shanjia, who was wearing a mask, also picked up a "Monthly Literature" from the bookshelf, turned around and lined up in the long queue in front of the cashier;

In the editorial department of "Literary Times" of Bailang Club, Chieko Aoyama, who just came back from the field work, walked quickly to the bookshelf where the competitor's publications were placed with the shopping bag in the bookstore, and put the several "Monthly Literature" in the bag on it. ;

Gojo Satoru was humming a song, and walked towards the dormitory with ten copies of "Monthly Literature" as usual;

In Kamado's bakery, Tanjiro Kamado and his sister Nezuko installed a new bookshelf in the corner of the dining area.Afterwards, the two worked together to take out of the box every issue of "Monthly Literature" issued in the past two years, as well as the booklets published by Hoshinosha, and filled a whole row on the bookshelf.

In an Internet cafe in Tokyo, the paparazzi who had followed Kisaragi Runo came out of the rented booth.

Passing by the book section of the internet cafe, he could not help but stop when he caught sight of the "Monthly Literature" and the booklets published by Hoshinosha that filled one of the borrowed bookshelves from the corner of his eye.

When Noguchi's news was fermenting, he followed and photographed Noguchi just like when he secretly photographed Kisaragi Luno.It is precisely because of this that he found Hualichun who had crushed his camera in Qingshan Cemetery.

After that, he followed Hualichun to several bookstores, and after confirming that she was the president of Hoshinosha, he sold her materials to the TV station with a mentality of revenge.

However, at this moment, seeing the overwhelming publicity of Hoshinosha's new issue due to the news effect, he opened his mouth, but in the end he still couldn't say anything.

……

On that day, as soon as "Monthly Literature" was put on the shelves, it was sold out by curious people.The sales volume of all magazines issued in the same period was far behind that of "Monthly Literature".

Even though this issue of the magazine only published the works of three well-known writers, Akutagawa Ryunosuke, Sakaguchi Ango and Fitzgerald, the other articles published were all new works, including Hibiki Kai’s "Ninja Ghost Maru", but the sales volume of this issue of "Monthly Literature" is still the same as the previous issue, exceeding 400 million copies.

***

two months later.

The works left behind when the writer's dog disappeared have already been published in the January magazine.Starting from February, Hoshinosha has announced on its official website that past teachers have suspended their creative activities.All the works published in the magazine are newcomers.

The same goes for March. The works published in the March issue of "Monthly Literature" also include Xia Youjie's new works that have been polished for a long time.

Because of the announcement of writers such as Osamu Dazai suspending their creations, Hoshinosha experienced a period of turmoil.At the same time, various media once again conducted a lot of discussions on this.The trend of commentary programs has changed from exploring and guessing the true faces of Hoshinosha and writers to reflecting on media behavior.

"Where are the limits of media interviews?" On the TV program, the commentator changed his style some time ago and said with a straight face, "The work of publishers and writers is just to publish books. But the current society is not even willing to let go. Any writer who wants to write well, even goes after a high school girl."

"Now the veteran writers of Hoshinosha have collectively stopped publishing their works, and people have to regard it as a protest against the behavior of the media..."

"There should be a limit to gossip...whether it is a media reporter who speculates the facts with added fuel and vinegar, or an audience who is keen to explore the writer's privacy, they should reflect on their own behavior, and don't realize the mistake after losing it..."

Contrary to the past, programs that support Hoshinosha and criticize media behavior are more attractive to viewers and get higher ratings.

Watching the news program on TV, Zenyuan Shier, who went out for a day of business, couldn't help but sneered: "This commentator didn't say that a month ago. Now the maintenance of Hoshino Club has become a hot topic. It really helps Grass on the wall."

"What's more, the writers stopped writing in order to protest the collective... Isn't this just guessing the facts? In the end, they are still doing the same thing for the ratings." He loosened his neck and wore it for the first time in his life to talk about business. An uncomfortable tie, and threw it on the sofa.

"You don't need to care about the evaluations of insignificant people." Huali Chun, who was sitting in front of the computer processing order data, didn't look up, "We just need to do what we need to do."

Seeing the Stellar Troupe sent an inquiry about whether the performance plan of "Galaxy Railway Night" will continue, she thought about it, and finally replied: proceed according to the original plan.

It has been more than three months since Hualichun's identity was exposed.Today, the sales volume of "Monthly Literature" has stabilized at around 300 million copies.

The reporters squatting at the entrance of the Hoshino Club were also crowded at the beginning, and then gradually decreased in number.

Until now, reporters have lost interest in Hoshinosha, which is no longer mysterious.

……

March [-]th.

In the morning, when she walked to the window, Hualichun looked at the road outside the gate of Hoshino Club, and found that this was the first time in more than three months that there were no reporters squatting outside Hoshino Club.

"Sure enough, I've lost interest." She looked at the clear street and smiled, then turned around, carried the bag by the door, and was about to go out to the bookstore.

When her eyes glanced at the handheld on the cabinet beside her, Hualichun hesitated for a moment, but picked it up anyway.

As she had done for the past three months, she randomly pressed the buttons on the handheld without hope.

The screen lights up.But this time, what appeared in front of Hualichun was not the usual upgrade prompt.

[From "Revival!Reminder from Wenhao Publishing House: The system upgrade is complete! Loading...]

Hualichun was taken aback for a moment, then his pupils subconsciously tightened, and the glowing shadow of the screen was reflected in his eyes: "...Eh?"

In Hualichun's hands, the camera lighted up.What was displayed along with the cheerful boot music was an interface that had never appeared in more than three months, and it was also the interface that she had seen the most in the past two years.

Hoshinosha's pixel thumbnail.

Before she had time to do anything, the three-month news suddenly popped up.

[From "Revival!Reminder from Wenhao Publishing House: The mailbox is about to explode!Please clean up the mailbox in time! 】

She obviously just cleaned up the mailbox not long ago.

Staring blankly at the handheld for several seconds, Hualichun suddenly guessed something, turned around, opened the door, and ran to the mailbox in a few steps.

The moment the letterbox door opened, more than a dozen thick, large kraft paper envelopes slipped down the door from the empty letterbox the night before, and fell to the ground with a clatter.

Hualichun was taken aback, subconsciously took two steps back, then squatted down quickly, picking up the envelopes on the ground.

There are no postal system stamps or postmarks on the kraft paper envelope, and there is not even a single word written on the surface of the envelope.

After stacking the heavy envelopes together, Hualichun picked up the top one and pulled out the thick stack of manuscript paper inside.

The words on the cover of the manuscript paper made her hold her breath.

"No Longer Human", Osamu Dazai.

[From "Revival!Reminder from Wenhao Publishing House: You have obtained the S-level work "Disqualification in the World" × 1]

[From "Revival!Reminder from Wenhao Publishing House": You have obtained the S-level work "Among Dirty Sorrows" × 1]

[From "Revival!Prompt from Wenhao Publishing House:...]

The handheld on the side flickered crazily, and the notification sound for getting an S-level work sounded one after another, but Hualichun couldn't care about the handheld anymore.She raised her head and saw passers-by waiting for the signal light at the intersection not far away, so she ran over quickly.

"Excuse me," she asked hurriedly, grabbing the passerby's arm from behind, "did you see the person who put the letter in the mailbox over there just now?"

Although Hualichun was taken aback, passers-by still answered honestly: "It's a young man in a sand-colored windbreaker who looks to be in his early 20s. After delivering the letter, he went there."

"……Thank you."

Holding the manuscript in her arms, Hualichun ran towards the direction pointed by passers-by.

After passing through two blocks, the familiar Tsurumigawa appeared in front of him.The place where Hualichun picked up the Dazai dog for the first time.

Running to the river embankment in one breath, Hualichun hugged the manuscript in her arms, looked around while panting, her eyes finally fell on the figure on the river bank, and froze.

A slender black-haired young man in a sand-colored windbreaker was walking slowly along the river bank.With his back to Hualichun, he walked unhurriedly, and his feet in brown and black leather shoes gently kicked the wet grass by the river from time to time.With the young man's wrist in his pocket, a small piece of white bandage was faintly exposed from under the cuff.

Hualichun subconsciously followed from above the river bank.

The young man in the sand-colored windbreaker is getting closer and closer.Finally, Hualichun stopped.

"Teacher Dazai?" She couldn't believe it, and then uttered the voice with a bit of anticipation that even she couldn't control.

What are you looking forward to?

In the next second, Hualichun got the answer.

That's because the young man kicking the grass stopped.He turned around and raised his iris-colored eyes towards Hualichun above the river bank.

Afterwards, Hualichun saw him smiling and nodded.

"Ah."
