What is happiness?

This is an answer that many people have spent their entire lives searching for.

In Maijo Kyousuke's life so far, he has never thought about this problem.

But Kesuke Maijo had been hungry for three whole days and had no fat in his stomach.

At this moment, I am holding plump and tender eel rice in my hands and drinking steaming miso soup.

This feeling really gave Maijo Kyousuke a taste of happiness!

"Please allow me to introduce Mr. Wucheng."

Uyama Hiideomi held the wine bottle, poured wine for Maijo Keisuke, and introduced him to Maijo Keisuke:

"Teacher Wucheng, this is the beautiful Miss Eryu, the founder hired by our Kodan Club."

"Don't look at Miss Jiangliu's youth. Miss Jiangliu was previously the editor-in-chief of "Ellery Quinn's Mystery Magazine" in Hayakawa's study."

"This time, "Astrology Killing Magic" can be successfully shortlisted for the Edogawa Ranpo Prize, and Miss Edome is indispensable!"

"To be honest, if Miss Eryu hadn't made an in-depth analysis of "Astrology Killing Magic" against all the opinions, I might not have been able to say that I would have been able to surpass Editor-in-Chief Akimoto."

After Uyama Himideomi finished speaking, he looked at Erumimei, who had a swollen face and glared angrily at Maijo Keisuke. He didn't know how to speak for a moment.

After all, there was a feud between the two.

Uyama Himideomi didn't know how to introduce him so as not to offend Maijo Keisuke.

Ever since Eryumi watched "Astrology Murderous Magic", she has admired Maijo Kyousuke for being able to write such a grand conspiracy!

Naturally, he subconsciously wants to win the favor of Maijo Kyousuke.

After all, I have never failed to evaluate the abilities of mystery writers.

As long as you are a mystery writer that you like, even if the journey is bumpy in the early stage, as long as you seize the opportunity, one day you will soar into the sky and become a blockbuster!

Eryumi wants Maijo Kyousuke and wants him to publish his works in the short mystery magazine he created.

That’s why he tried every means to get close to Maijo Kyousuke.

Thinking of this, Erumei was no longer restrained. She pulled up Erumimei next to her, pressed her neck, and together they bowed deeply towards Maijo Kyousuke:

"Teacher Wucheng, I'm sorry."

"I'm very sorry for the trouble my sister Jiang Liumei has caused you before."

"If you have any requests, feel free to ask."

"I just hope you can forgive me!"

Eryumi's attitude was very sincere, but she kept her head down and never waited for Maijo Kyousuke's response.

I thought that Maijo Kyousuke was still brooding about what happened before, so Jiang Liumei could only slightly raise his head and glance in the direction of Maijo Kyousuke.

Unexpectedly, I saw a rather joyous scene.

I saw Maijo Kyousuke sitting on a chair, and at some point he picked up "Watson".

While grabbing "Watson's" mouth so that it could not open, he used fragrant food and dangled it near "Watson's" nose.

Seeing "Watson" drooling all over the floor, Jiang Liumei naturally understood that Maishiro Kyousuke was seeking revenge for what he had done three days ago!

Uyama Himideomi didn't know whether Maijo Keisuke deliberately ignored Eryumei, or whether it was because Eryumei's voice was too soft and he didn't hear it clearly.

Seeing that both Jiang Liu sisters had their heads lowered, staying put was not an option.

Uyama Hiideomi could only pat Maijo Keisuke's shoulder lightly and wink at Maijo Keisuke.

Maijo Kyousuke saw Uyama Hinodeomi's strange expression and looked across the table curiously.

But he saw the two Jiangliu sisters bowing towards him like statues.

Seeing this scene, Maijo Kyousuke sighed, put "Watson" on the ground, smiled at Eryumei and said:

"Miss Jiang Liu, please sit down."

"I, Maijo Keisuke, am not the kind of person with a small belly. Since Mr. Uyama said, Miss Edome, you also contributed to the nomination of "Astrology Killing Magic" for the Edogawa Ranpo Prize."

"Then we're even, I'm not as old as a child."

When Jiang Yumei heard Maishiro Kyousuke's words, she finally felt relieved.

I just wanted to ask Erumimei to apologize to Maijo Kyousuke.

But when he lowered his head, he saw Erumimei pouting her lips and staring at Maijo Keisuke with an unhappy look on her face.

Jiang Liumei was afraid of Jiang Liumeiya's venomous tongue, so she just said "I'm sorry, Zhu Xingdang!"

He could only sit down with Miya Erumi, change the topic and get closer to Kyousuke Maijo:

"Teacher Wucheng, your book "Astrological Killing Magic" is really great!"

"I really want to know how you came up with such an amazing and shocking conspiracy?"

Maijo Kyousuke took a bite of the fried pork cutlet, thought for a moment, and then said with a smile:

"How to conceive?"

"Maybe it's because of your undying love for mystery novels?"

When Jiang Yumeili heard what Maijo Kyousuke said, her face showed deep doubts.

Has his pair of eyes that can penetrate people's hearts failed?

For the first time, I felt like I couldn’t see through the man in front of me:

"Undying love?"

Maijo Kyousuke swallowed the fried pork cutlet and nodded seriously:

"That's right, I have an undying love for mystery novels!"

"Only with this kind of love can I continue to read a large number of mystery novels."

"Only by constantly reading a large number of mystery novels can you have a huge amount of reading!"

“Only with a huge amount of reading can we create truly beautiful mystery novels!”

"For example, in the book "Astrological Killing Magic", I created the detective Mitarai Yueyoshi and his assistant Ishioka Kazuki. This model of detective partner and assistant is inherited from Conan Doyle's "Sherlock Holmes"."

"Mitaraike uses information from forty years ago to reason about the case, which is a tribute to the easy-chair detective in Baroness Orchidz's "The Old Man in the Corner."

"The book repeatedly mentions astrology, secret rooms, and the terrifying dismemberment and murder, which inherits the strange and weird atmosphere of Dickson Carr."

"There are also two letters of challenge written to readers in succession in the book, which naturally continues Ellery Quinn's "Country Names Series"."

After Maijo Kyousuke finished speaking, he drank a large amount of flavored soup and continued:

"Anyway, when these elements came to mind."

"I feel like the painter Umezawa Heikichi in the notebook, whose brain has been eroded by demonic thoughts!"

"Under the guidance of the devil, I wrote this story on the manuscript paper!"

Maijo Kyousuke’s remarks are so arrogant!

Uyama Himideomi who was sitting next to him and Eryumi who was sitting opposite were both stunned and speechless!

They didn't even notice that the food on their chopsticks fell on the table!

The reason why Uyama Hinodeomi and Eryumei are so shocked is very simple.

Both of them have held important positions in the publishing house. One has been the deputy editor for fifteen years, and the other is a talented girl who took on the responsibility of editor-in-chief at a young age!

The two of them have seen mystery writers ranging from one thousand to eight hundred!

But whenever it comes to the author's creative inspiration.

Most authors can't pronounce a single word.

There are even some authors who have never read mystery novels at all, and they will say that as long as they make money, what is the use of reading books?

Whenever she hears this kind of answer, Jiang Liumeili knows that the other person has no value in cultivating him, because it is very likely that this kind of author will be at his peak when he debuts.

Relying on good luck and gaining some fame will not make any progress in the future, and the consequences will only get worse!

But the Maijo Kyousuke in front of him was completely different from those people!

Although he has not published any works yet, it is obvious that he is well prepared!

These strange, unconstrained stories, grand and shocking conspiracies have long been formed in his mind!

There is only one chance to write them down on the manuscript paper!

This feeling is like a soldier who is about to step onto the battlefield. He has already prepared his guns and ammunition and is ready to fight at any time!

It may be that Eryumei clearly realizes that the appearance of Maijo Kyousuke is destined to be extraordinary.

He will be the supernova that can detonate the entire reasoning world!

Not only can it break the "Curse of Clearance" in one fell swoop, it may even create a new reasoning faction!

It is no exaggeration to say that in Eryu’s beautiful eyes, Maijo Kyousuke is a messenger sent from heaven!

The Prometheus of reasoning!

Because once the book "Astrology Killing Magic" is published, it is bound to become a myth that will continue the life of mystery novels for more than fifty years!

The corpse-dismemberment trick in "Astrology Killing Magic" will definitely become the best trick in the world!

If... I could let such a character publish short mystery novels in the short mystery magazine he founded.

Then the short mystery magazine you created will inevitably become a well-known magazine that detonates the entire Japan, and even affects the entire world!

Handsome looks can make a man attractive.

But the most fundamental factor that determines charm is the charming temperament that exudes from the inside out.

For some reason, in Eryu's beautiful eyes, Maijo Kyousuke's body exudes the kind of charm that can stir up delusions at this moment!
