Although Eryomemi and Gonda Manji had a fierce dispute during the selection process for the Edogawa Ranpo Climbing Dragon Award, they had a good impression of Gonda Manji from the beginning to the end.
Because it is obvious that Gonda Manji is a commentator with no selfish motives and sincerely wants to contribute to the development of Japanese reasoning. He only helps Izawa Motohiko to preserve the foundation of Japanese historical reasoning.
But the more pure a person is, the more he has a strange obsession with famous manuscripts, autographed copies, and bookplates!
Judging from Maijo Keisuke's eyes that are about to "glow", it is obvious that Maijo Keisuke is also the same person!
Eryumei saw that Gonda Manji was holding the safe containing the manuscript of "Mr. Ultramore's Hands" and couldn't put it down. Naturally, she was a little worried that Gonda Manji would have a dispute with Maijo Kyousuke because of the manuscript.
Thinking of this, Eryumei hurriedly handed the manuscript of "A Platycodon Flower" to Tatara Yoshikatsunori's hands and said:
"Mr. Tatara, this is the manuscript of "A Platycodon Flower" written by Mr. Maicheng. You have promised before that as long as we agree to your three conditions, you will give the manuscript of "Mr. Ultramore's Hands" to us!"
"You won't break your promise, right?"
After Jiang Liumeili finished speaking, she glanced at Gonda Manji cautiously, obviously very afraid of Gonda Manji.
Although Tatara Yoshikatsu could see that Gonada Manji couldn't put it down, and even knew that Gonada Manji had helped his father, the ancient bookstore relied on integrity, reputation, and what he said. , just like water poured out.
Seeing Eryumi bring over the manuscript of "A Platycodon Flower", Maijo Kyousuke also signed "Top Hat" magazine and "Astrology Killing Magic".
Tatara Yoshikatsu sighed, and said apologetically to Gonda Manji, who was holding the safe:
"Mr. Gonda Manji, I'm sorry, this manuscript has been sold."
After Tatara Ryokatsu finished speaking, he reached out and grabbed the safe in Gonda Manji's hand.
Although Gonda Manji was reluctant to let go of his hand, Gonda Manji, who held a pen all day long, was still not as strong as Tadora Yoshinobu, who carried books all day long.
The safe was taken away and immediately handed over to Jiang Liumei's hands.
Gonda Manji looked at his empty hands and said that he must be lying if he said he was not sad. After all, it was the top one masterpiece of the golden age!
But as an elder, there was no way he could compete with the younger generation. Thinking of these things, Gonda Manji could only rub his hands jokingly and complained to Jiang Liumei:
"Miss Jiangliu, you know that you miss your teacher Wucheng. That manuscript is really rare. Are you reluctant to give it to me even if you take a look at it?"
"No matter what, I, Gonda Manji, am a well-known person. How can I still steal your things?"
After hearing Gonda Manji's words, Eryumei held the manuscript of "Mr. Ultramore's Hands" to her chest. Her eyes were full of resistance, like a kitten guarding its food, not letting Gonda Manji get closer!
When Gonda Manji saw this scene, he also knew that he wanted to take another look at the manuscript. He was afraid that he would not have the chance, so he could only say to Maijo Keisuke and Eryumi:
"Forget it, forget it, if you watch it one more time, you will regret it."
"Now that your worries are over, hurry up and negotiate the contract with that fat man Noma."
"I haven't been to Jimbocho for a long time. Anyway, I'm free today, so I'll stay here to see if I can find any treasures."
Seeing that the manuscript was successfully obtained, Eryumi and Maijo Keisuke stopped staying any longer and said goodbye to Tatara Katsuno and Gonada Manji. They happily hugged the manuscript of "Mr. Ultramore's Hands" and left. Visit Tatara Ancient Bookstore.
Looking at the backs of Maijo Kyousuke and Eryome leaving beautifully.
While Gonda Manji was rummaging through ancient books on the bookcase, he chatted and asked Tatara Katsunori:
"Mr. Tatara, the price you offered for the manuscript "Mr. Ultramore's Hands" just now is 50 million yen."
"But in the end, you only exchanged the manuscript for "A Platycodon Flower" written by Teacher Wucheng and the autographed copies of all future works. Don't you think it's worth it?"
"You know, although Mr. Maicheng is famous now, as long as he mentions it in Tokyo, everyone knows his name."
"But these are just false names. Once the limelight passes, he will return to his original identity. In the final analysis, he is just a new writer with a little fame."
"What makes Mr. Tatara think that Mr. Maishiro's manuscript and future autographed copies are equivalent to 50 million yen?"
Tatara Yoshikatsu heard Gonda Manji's words, but did not answer directly and asked instead:
"Where's Mr. Gonda? Do you think Mr. Makiro will only be a short-lived newcomer? Or will he be a standard-bearer who can lead the Japanese mystery literary world into a new era?"
Gonda Manji pulled out a copy of Kotaro Kiki's debut novel "Retinal Pulse Syndrome" from the bookshelf. When he saw that it was signed by Takataro Kiki, he smiled on his face:
"Mr. Tatara, if I say that Mr. Maijo Keisuke is not a short-lived newcomer, nor is he the standard-bearer leading the Japanese mystery literature world into a new era, but the leader who will change the Japanese mystery literature world, you will think I am joking. ?"
Tatara Yoshikatsu shook his head solemnly, looking at the manuscript of "A Platycodon Flower" in his hand, with a look of reverence on his face:
"Mr. Quan Tian, when I was young, I also contributed articles to "New Youth" magazine. I know how difficult it is to write excellent mystery novels. Being able to create a personal style that is loved by the public is even more It’s even more difficult.”
"But Mr. Wucheng did it. Not only did he create two styles that are loved by the public! The degree of completion is extremely high!"
""A Platycodon Flower" is cruel, crazy, and poignant! "Astrology Killing Magic" is grand, whimsical, and strange!"
Tatara Yoshikatsu took out a plastic bag with desiccant from under the counter and put the manuscript of "A Platycodon Flower" into it:
"Mr. Quantian, I don't know whether I made a profit or a loss this time."
"But after reading these two works by Mr. Wucheng, I only had one thought in my mind. This guy must be a genius!"
"To say it is a bit exaggerated, I personally believe that Mr. Wucheng will sooner or later lead the world of Japanese mystery literature. It is only a matter of time!"
Gonda Manji looked at the "Oretinal Pulse Syndrome" in his hand and did not speak for a long time.
It took a while before I placed the book "Retinal Pulse Syndrome" signed by Kotaro Kiki in front of the counter:
"This book is in good condition, I want it."
"Mr. Tatara, I need to correct what you just said."
"It is still unknown whether Mr. Maijo Keisuke can lead the Japanese literary world, but "Astrology Killing Magic" has become a veritable 'phenomenal work'."
"I can't guarantee that you can raise the level of 'Tatara Bookstore' in Jimbocho by relying on Teacher Maicheng, but what I can confirm is that you have a very good vision."
"It won't be long before you receive an autographed collector's edition of "Astrological Killing Magic"!"
Although Gonda Manji didn't say anything clearly, Tatara Yoshinoori showed a happy expression on his face.
Because Gonda Manji, the "prophet in the reasoning world," has already made it obvious that his vision is correct. As long as he makes friends with Maijo Keisuke, he will definitely get more than 50 million yen in value!
