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

Chapter 54: The interview became more famous than the article 2
That woman is probably jumping around in her room again now.

I've given you hints, so I should be able to find it.

When these two thoughts popped up in Longchuan Tetsu's mind, he had already arrived at the town of Kawaguchiko.

The lake water shimmered in golden color under the sun. A girl stood by the lake, quietly waiting for something.

The sun is warm today. She is wearing a black high school uniform, a plaid JK skirt, and black tights. Her legs look even longer under the warm sun.

"Have you been waiting for a long time?"

The boy stepped forward and looked around.

Matsueda Muko's home is near Lake Kawaguchi, and the two of them often make plans to meet there during this period.

"You're so slow~ Archer."

The girl stretched out her voice and complained a little, then raised her hands from behind her back to the front of her.

"Hey, this is yours. I bought it from the same stall we ate at last time."

Yatai is the name for a mobile food stall, a kind of food shop that can be pulled around.

Ryukawa Tetsu took the Taiyaki and took a bite. The flour was a bit hard and cold. The other party must have been waiting for a while.

"You can actually wait for me at home. I don't have a fixed time to be here."

After spending some time together, Longchuan Che found that the other party was a very sensible and well-behaved girl.

Sometimes she is lively and playful as is normal for her age, and sometimes she is caring and cute.

When it comes to dating, it's usually the boys who wait for the girls more often.

But the other party always follows the rising sun and the beat of the drums, and appears at the agreed place before Longchuan Che arrives.

Every time she would bring some snacks and stand there quietly, with the twilight and the night sinking around her.

"I do not want it."

The girl curled her lips. She was in high spirits when she spoke, and even the smallest things sounded very exaggerated.

"I have to find the right time to sneak out. My annoying brother will definitely hang around me again once he hears that I'm here to see you."

Songzhi Muzi's family is a reconstituted family.

The brother is a log, the sister is a pine branch.

They have different fathers and the boy named Yuanmu is three years older than her.

"Why doesn't he let you date?"

Thinking of the boy who stared at him as if he was on guard against a wolf every time he saw him, Longchuan Che's mouth twitched.

"Ha! He's from the FFF group, he can't stand seeing people doing well."

The girl opened her hands exaggeratedly. Longchuan Che often wondered why she had such abundant energy.

The two walked and stopped all the way to a small bookstore in the town.

Today is the last working day before the Spring Festival, tomorrow is the weekend, and the day after tomorrow is New Year's Day. A group of people gathered in front of the bookstore, ready to buy the latest books.

"Hi~ Archer, you've made it big, so many people are buying your book."

The girl held the boy's sleeve and raised her feet. There were quite a few people queuing in front of the bookstore. A rough estimate was that there were about a dozen people.

"Well, I'll buy you Taiyaki when I make money."

Ryukawa Toru's book has not been published yet, and he is just a blank slate writer.

No one would buy books just for him, but Longchuan Che still smiled.

The other person's personality is a bit eccentric, and Longchuan Che is somewhat used to such inappropriate words.

Longchuan Che is cold and indifferent most of the time, but when he smiles, he is like the warm sun in winter.

Songzhi Muzi glanced at him, blushed and said, "How stingy."

Most of the people queuing up are here to buy light novels or popular reading materials.

Pure literature is not considered popular reading material, and even the most famous "New Wave" magazine is only placed at the bottom of the bestseller shelf.

"What a pity, Longchuan-kun, you are still just a last-place finisher."

Looking at the "Shincho" magazine that Ryukawa Toru had to bend down to get, Matsueda Muko patted Ryukawa Toru's shoulder, not knowing whether she felt sorry or teased him.

“The audience for pure literature is not broad.”

Ryukawa Che dusted off the magazine.

In Japan, the population is 130 million, but the combined sales of top literary magazines such as Shincho's monthly magazine, Kodansha's Gunzo, and Bungeishunju's Bungeukkai do not exceed two million.

Literary works are too highbrow to be appreciated by the general public, and the current literary world seems a little distorted.

"Pure literature itself has a certain reading threshold. Coupled with the prevalence of class literature nowadays, the number of people who buy pure literature magazines will only decrease in the future."

Longchuan Che said this with a half-smile, then went to pay with the magazine between his legs.

Songzhi Muzi nodded, not quite understanding, and while the shop owner wasn't paying attention, the girl put the trendy magazine with "Genius Writer's Debut Battle" on top. After walking out of the bookstore, the two suddenly lost their direction.

When we first started dating, we would always find excuses and reasons to meet up.

When the excuses are exhausted, I hesitate again.

"Hmm... where to go next?"

The girl put her hands behind her back and glanced at Longchuan Che casually.

As for the boy next to me, he doesn’t have any problems, but he seems to have no idea how to interact with girls.

You have to make your own appointments and call out by yourself, and the most common thing two people do together is stroll along the street together.

"Um...can we find a place to sit for a while?"

Longchuan Che thought for a while and said.

“But many places are closed today.”

The girl pointed along the street to the end.

It’s almost New Year, and Kawaguchiko is a small town again.

The coffee shops on the corners were closed. There were no tourists at this time and most of the shops were also closed.

"Then..." Longchuan Che shrugged.

"How about going to my house?"

"Eh~" Songzhi Muzi's expression became very disgusted.

"Never."

Basically, it's something like there's no good going into the boys' room, it's too early now, etc.

"What should I do?"

Longchuan Che really couldn't guarantee that he would not do anything to a beautiful and lovely girl in a confined space, so he blinked and looked at the other party.

The wind at the street corner made two wind chimes ring.

Ten minutes later, Longchuan Che stood in front of a small Western-style building.

It looks like the building in Crayon Shin-chan in the anime.

There is a two-story building surrounding a courtyard, where you can see white sheets hanging out to dry swaying slightly in the warm midday breeze.

Longchuan Che suddenly felt nervous.

"This is not good."

The boy felt sweat suddenly appear on his forehead.

The wooden sign on the left side of the gate reads "Songzhi". This is Songzhi Muzi's home.

It's already uncomfortable to stare at the other person's brother with a wary look, and running to the other person's house is even more uncomfortable than sitting on pins and needles?

"Or forget it."

Longchuan Che was holding the magazine and was a little hesitant.

"Whether you are a man or not, I am not afraid of you, so what are you afraid of?"

The girl rolled her eyes and pushed Longchuan Che into her home.

There is a place to sit and I don't have to worry about Long Chuan Che touching me.

perfect!

The Matsueda family's house is very warm and beautifully decorated.

Toy figures can be seen everywhere, and family photos are placed on the table.

Every little detail tells us that the girl grew up in a happy family.

Longchuan Che felt relieved when he found out that there was no one at the other party's home.

"Please sit down for a while. I'll make you some tea."

The girl took a pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet and handed them to Longchuan Che, while she went to get the treat.

Although there was no one there, I felt like the person in the photo was watching me while sitting on the sofa.

Longchuan Che sat up straight, thought for a moment, and opened the magazine in his hand.

The monthly issue of Shincho has only a few pages, and the first chapter is written by Taro Ono.

"Seeing a dragon in the wild is a unique sight."

Anyone who buys this trendy book will see these eight big words as soon as they open it.
