Tokyo: The life of a literary giant begins with home self-defense!

Chapter 292: Miss Ye Gonghaolong (Part )
"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Natsuko Imamura raised an eyebrow at Toru Ryukawa.

"Why should I help you?"

Longchuan Che wanted to contact the outside world in a covert way.

Although the lodging house is not completely closed, contacting home through the hotel front desk will inevitably be discovered by someone with ulterior motives.

"You want to submit your work secretly under another pen name, and then when you win an award, come out and say you are Ryukawa Tetsu?"

The eldest lady immediately saw through Longchuan Che's dirty trick, and her eyes became somewhat disdainful.

"Let's not talk about whether I will help you or not. It's not that easy to get the Tanizaki Junichiro Award."

Japan's top writers just stopped developing in the Japanese style, they are not dead.

Those who are planning to submit their works this time include Yufu Kaga, who wrote "Rakumeikan", and Susumu Akechi, who wrote "Sand Woman".

It is worth mentioning that "Sand Woman" by Susumu Akechi of Waseda University once won the French Best Foreign Literature Award.

He is a well-deserved Japanese literary giant.

"How can you boost others' ambitions and destroy your own prestige?"

Ryukawa Toru looked serious. He really wanted his wife to submit "The Dancing Girl of Izu" for publication, but the eldest lady didn't seem to be very optimistic about him.

It is difficult to convince the public 100% in literary competitions, and no top writer dares to say that he or she has a 100% chance of winning an award.

After hearing what Longchuan Che said, the eldest lady stretched out a white finger and touched Longchuan Che's nose.

"It's to destroy your ambition."

The girl pouted.

"We are not in the same group."

The young wife said that she was not in the same group with him, and Longchuan Che sighed and made a sad expression.

In addition to the Tanizaki Junichiro Award, the work on the Group Portrait Award has also officially begun.

Today we all gathered together and selected "Beauty and Sorrow", the first work for competition.

This controversial work has a strong Ophiuchus style.

"How about it?"

Watch Ryukawa Tetsu
-
The tree glanced at the green leaves that shaded it. The green covering its head suddenly made it feel suffocated.

After circling this sentence, Natsuko Imamura pinched her chin and asked curiously.

Toru Ryukawa is an authority on the New Sensationalism, and in his novel "Beauty and Sorrow" he also particularly likes to use small words to express beauty.

For example, the rain wet the "tips of the clogs" and the "razor pierced into the lovely neck."

Intentional expression gives the article a special aesthetic feeling. The New Sensationalism may be the most suitable school to express the beauty of words.

"There are a few places that could be changed, such as when Keiko decided to take revenge on Oki and when the two young men committed suicide."

Longchuan Che circled a few places at random. He had read this novel more than once.

"But overall, the chances of winning the Group Portrait Award are very high."

Ryukawa Tetsu once said that no matter what rumors the outside world spread, he would only grade works based on their quality.

It would be better for him to avoid "Beauty and Sorrow" nowadays.

Imamura Natsuko sighed.

"what?"

The girl stretched out her white palm in front of Longchuan Che, and Longchuan Che tilted his head.

"Who to contact and what to do, write it down on a note for me."

If someone were to submit a work for the Tanizaki Junichiro Award, Ryukawa Toru didn't want anyone to know that it was him.

Because he felt that going to the book in his personal capacity would lose fairness.

The girl stretched out her hand to help, and Longchuan Che pinched her chin.

"Hard on the outside but soft on the inside? Interesting, but aiding the enemy is stupid."

Although Longchuan Che said this, he still gave the other party his wife's contact information.

If he contacted his wife through the front desk phone, it would definitely be known by someone with ulterior motives, but the eldest daughter would not have this problem.

"I'll help you tomorrow."

Natsuko Imamura put the note in her arms.

Longchuan Toru nodded and finished the scoring work of "Beauty and Sorrow".

It started raining outside without me noticing.

Hazy.

The lights and the night enveloped Kyoto.

The ancient capital was like a shy beauty. The young lady opened the window and looked toward the pine forest not far away.

“It might be foggy tomorrow morning.” The girl looked at the oil-paper umbrellas being opened at the bottom of the building. In the rainy season, the ancient city had a kind of beauty that lasted for thousands of years.

Longchuan Che was busy with his own things and ignored the eldest lady's surprise.

"Yamamura Misa's 'The Higashiyama Murder Case in Kyoto' and the book 'Beauty and Sorrow' in your hand both describe the beauty and culture of Kyoto very well. When will you finish writing 'The Ancient Capital'?"

"The Ancient Capital" might still take some time, Longchuan Che changed the subject.

"The Kyoto Higashiyama Murder Case?"

What the girl was talking about was obviously a suspense novel, and Longchuan Che was not very familiar with these works.

"Ah."

Natsuko Imamura nodded.

"There are also similar stories like 'Kyoto Newlyweds' Murder on a Trip', 'Kyoto Remarriage Murder on a Trip', and 'Kyoto Illegal Murder on a Trip'."

If possible, Ryukawa Toru really wanted to listen to "The Kyoto Incest Travel Murder Case", but after listening to the young lady talking, Ryukawa Toru complained.

"You love detective novels too much."

Whether it’s “Only the Cat Knows” or “After School,” although I’m a girl, I prefer suspense novels that grip my heart.

“Because it’s exciting.”

The girl pinched her delicate chin and spoke in a very normal manner.

She looks pretty and delicate, and likes excitement in some aspects.

Longchuan Che raised his eyebrows.

"Speaking of exciting things, I remember there is a very interesting rumor about Mount Kinugasa, not far from here."

The eldest lady is not from Kyoto, and she rarely even comes to Kansai.

"Kinugasayama?"

Natsuko Imamura was a little surprised, she only knew that Igasayama was a park not far from them.

"White snow floats on the mountaintops, and white snow covers the ground."

Longchuan Che was somewhat impressed.

"You really should go find out."

Natsuko Imamura likes ancient culture and is particularly fond of beautiful things.

She stared at Longchuan Tetsu and found that the other person was now immersed in "Beauty and Sorrow".

"Oh."

The eldest lady nodded.

It's nothing. Natsuko Imamura is about to go back. She is also responsible for the review of "Beauty and Sorrow" today.

"Good night."

The girl said goodbye to Longchuan Che, and then slowly left Longchuan Che's room.

The drizzle was falling slowly, and then suddenly became heavier in the middle.

After reading a book and taking a bath, Longchuan Che prepared to go to bed at midnight.

The wooden door creaked loudly, and the lights in the ancient capital slowly went out.

When Longchuan Che was slowly preparing to go to bed.

dong dong dong.

There was another knock on the boys' room.

Long Chuan Che was stunned for a moment. When he walked over to open the door, he found the eldest lady standing quietly at the door.

The girl was holding the Kyoto Strange Stories in her hand.

Staring at Longchuan Che fiercely.

"what happened?"

Longchuan Che smiled and asked knowingly.

Mount Kinugasa was a mass grave, and Emperor Uda once lamented that silk and white Kinugasa (an umbrella made of silk cloth) covered the mountain like snow.

"Good night then, excitement-loving Imamura-san."

Longchuan Che was about to close the door.

He noticed a small white hand pulling at the hem of his clothes.

Igasa Mountain was once a graveyard full of bones. Longchuan Tetsu looked at the little hand that had never let go.

"You're scared?"

Long Chuan Che was stunned.
