As an avid fan of mystery novels, Maijo Kyousuke is the author who offers astrological killing magic to this parallel world.
Seeing Uyama Himideomi standing there with a surprised look on his face after reading the whole book, he wanted to ask him what he thought.
Unexpectedly, before Maijo Kyousuke could open his mouth, Uyama Hinodeomi calmed down and spoke first:
"Mr. Wucheng... No, I should change my name to you as Teacher Wucheng from now on!"
After Uyama Himideomi finished speaking, he put away the smile on his face, stood up, straightened his clothes, and said to Maijo Kyousuke with a solemn expression:
"Teacher Maicheng! As the previous editor named Matsuura Jun said, now is the era of hot socialist reasoning and the cold winter of original reasoning."
"As the deputy editor of the Third Publishing Department of Kodansha Literature and Art Museum, I think what he said is correct."
"But after I read your astrological killing magic, I felt that spring has come!"
"I can already predict that as soon as this astrological killing magic book is published, it will inevitably trigger a frenzy of reasoning!"
"Therefore, I cannot accept that this kind of book, which will usher in a new era, slips away from the hands of me, Uyama Hideomi!"
As Uyama Himideomi spoke, he bowed slightly, lowered his head, and showed the greatest sincerity to Maijo Kyousuke:
"Teacher Wucheng, please entrust me with this astrological killing magic book!"
"I will definitely make this 'Book of Magic' win the Edogawa Ranpo Prize!"
Uyama Hinideomi's sudden move made Maijo Keisuke unable to react for a moment.
Until he saw Uyama Hinodechen in front of him with a red face and smell of alcohol all over his body, looking at him eagerly.
Only then did Maijo Kyousuke finally understand that the murderous magic of astrology has completely convinced Uyama Hinodeomi, the deputy editor-in-chief of Kodansha!
"Mr. Uyama, are you willing to submit this book to the Edogawa Ranpo Prize?"
Uyama Hiideomi looked at Maijo Kyousuke with an expression of disbelief on his face. He didn't know whether he got drunk with sake or because he was too excited.
He actually slapped his hands hard on the table, stared at Maijo Kyousuke and said loudly:
"Teacher Wucheng! Can't you see my sincere attitude?"
"If I don't let this shocking astrological murder magic book be selected for the Edogawa Ranpo Prize, I'm afraid God will accuse me of being blind!"
"Although... I don't know if astrological killing magic can finally win the Edogawa Ranpo Prize in the frenzy of social reasoning and the cold winter of original reasoning..."
"But I promise you, even if Astrology Killing Magic does not win the Edogawa Ranpo Prize, I will try my best to get this book published!"
"No matter what! I can't let this amazing masterpiece be buried in my hands!"
"I want everyone in the world to see what a trick no one has ever done before and no one will do since!"
After Uyama Himideomi finished speaking, he drank all the sake in his coffee cup, and then looked at Maijo Keisuke expectantly, hoping that Maijo Keisuke would agree to him!
Maijo Kyousuke had also guessed before, how Uyama Hinodeomi in the parallel world would react after seeing the astrological killing magic?
Will the manuscript be rejected due to the butterfly effect?
But it is obvious that even across time and space, the soul of original reasoning is still immortal!
Uyama Hinodeomi's excited look and expectant eyes are the best proof!
At this moment, Maijo Keisuke is at a crossroads in his life, and his manuscripts have been rejected one after another by eight editors at Kobunshe.
To put it a bit embarrassingly, now, let alone straw, even soaked noodles, Maijo Keisuke will hold on tightly and never let go!
Not to mention, Uyama Hinodeomi is not some soaked noodles, let alone dry straw.
To use an inappropriate metaphor, Uyama Hinodeomi, the editor who mentored countless reasoning masters in another parallel world, is a magic weapon!
Not only can it help you break the "Curse of Clearness", but it can also help you ascend the throne of the God of Reasoning!
Thinking of this, Maijo Kyousuke also stood up, adjusted his clothes, and extended his hand to Uyama Hinodeomi with a solemn expression:
"Mr. Yushan, please give me more advice in the future!"
Uyama Himideomi doesn’t know why, maybe it’s just to enhance the atmosphere? Or maybe you met your soulmate?
Hearing what Maijo Kyousuke said, his nose felt sore and his eyes turned red!
"Teacher Wucheng, I wish us a happy cooperation!"
Uyama Hiideomi held Maishiro Keisuke's hand tightly with both hands, but he never expected that it would be this unexpected meeting in the coffee shop.
Not only did he create the future god of mystery novels, he also laid the foundation for a new era of mystery novels!
——
"Teacher Wucheng, let's go! I'm happy today, let's go drink!"
Uyama Himideomi and Maijo Keisuke reached a cooperation. He was so excited that he could not express his excitement in words, and he decisively put the manuscript into his briefcase.
He had to drag Maijo Kyousuke to drink.
Maijo Kyousuke couldn't resist, so he could only follow Uyama Hiideomi to a 24-hour izakaya.
Uyama Himideomi was obviously an old drunkard. After entering the izakaya, he said hello to the owner of the izakaya, and then took Maijo Keisuke to find a table and sit down.
"Just order whatever you like, and I'll treat you!"
"You don't need to pay a penny!"
Uyama Hiideomi handed the menu to Maijo Keisuke's hand and said boldly.
Maijo Kyousuke didn't know what delicious food this izakaya had, so naturally he pushed the menu back politely:
"Mr. Yushan, I'm not familiar with this place, so I'll leave it to you."
When Uyama Hiideomi heard what Maijo Keisuke said, he didn't refuse anymore and shouted to the boss:
"Boss, here are ten skewers of secret grilled chicken, four skewers of salt-grilled chicken wings, two portions of Matsusaka pork, and two sets of tempura set meals for two people. By the way... I also need two bottles of Gekkeikan sake. I want Junmai Daiginjo.”
The boss put two bottles of Gekkeikan Junmai Daiginjo on the table.
Uyama Himideomi was obviously a little impatient. He unscrewed the wine bottle, poured a glass for Maijo Kyousuke, poured another glass for himself, and drank it all in one gulp!
After drinking a lot of wine, Uyama Hinodeomi began to talk more:
"Teacher Wucheng, right now, we are not in a cooperative relationship. I am not an editor. Just think of me as... your book fan!"
“Can you share with me your creative inspiration?”
"Ever since I read your astrological killing magic, I have been very curious. Which book was you inspired to write such an amazing and shocking trick?"
"I have been working in the industry for fifteen years, and I have read tens of thousands of manuscripts at least, but the original reasoning that can bring such a huge impact to me, except for "Prison Gate Island" written by Henggou Zhengshi, 》Besides, you are still the first!”
The manuscript was appreciated by the editor and successfully participated in the Edogawa Ranpo Prize.
Maijo Kyousuke has finally taken an important step in this world, and Uyama Himideomi is a close friend after drinking with each other for a thousand cups.
From Edgar Allan Poe we talked about Sherlock Holmes, from Sherlock Holmes we talked about the Three Golden Masters, and from the Three Golden Masters we talked about the Five Men of Japanese Mystery and the development of socialist reasoning, and the cold winter of the original style.
It wasn't until the sky started to light up that Uyama Hinodeomi and Maijo Kyousuke were so drunk that they could hardly stand. They supported each other and left the izakaya...
