Chapter 175: The circulation of "Top Hat" magazine soars.

Seishi Yokomizo wrote a review of "Dear S-kun".

The "New Authentic Mystery Club" then came to an end.

With the help of Eri, Maijo Kyosuke sent Yokomizo Seishi back to the cancer hospital and then returned to the "Longevity Soup".

Although today has passed, there are still fourteen days left until the "hard-boiled mystery novel sales competition" with Nishimura Hisayuki.

But Kyosuke Maijo remained completely unfazed.

After returning to the "Longevity Bath," Maijo Kyosuke first soaked in the hot spring for an hour to relax his body.

He then returned to VIP Suite No. 8, his mind completely blank, and lay down on the large bed to fall fast asleep.

It's not that Kyosuke Maijo is heartless; it's just that sufficient sleep is the source of his creativity.

Although Kyosuke Maijo's works are brought from another world, in order to make these stories of the new era more in line with the aesthetics and audiences of this era.

Maijo Kyosuke had to use his experience and writing skills to polish and fill in some flaws and loopholes in the original work.

This kind of consumption might sound simple.

But a person's energy is limited. After nearly a month of overwork, Maijo Kyosuke felt very tired. All he wanted to do was get a good night's sleep and not be disturbed by anyone.

After all, in order to maintain his immense popularity, he not only had to write "The City That Never Sleeps," the "hard-boiled mystery masterpiece" that he was competing against Nishimura Hisayuki, in the next fourteen days.

I also need to write the short mystery stories published in Top Hat magazine on February 18th and February 25th!

Although not to the point of being overly stressed.

However, Maijo Kyosuke now only has one requirement.

Get a good night's sleep.

1980 2 Month 11 Day.

The fifth issue of Top Hat magazine has been released!

Takarajimasha's "Fiction Mystery" magazine officially ceased publication two days ago.

Kodansha president Genjiro Noma then made another risky move!

They directly reprinted the fifth issue of "Top Hat" magazine to 900,000 copies!

In an effort to seize the remaining market share of Takarajimasha's "Fictional Mystery," the magazine "Top Hat," which had only published five issues, officially became one of the top three short story mystery magazines in Japan!

The bookstore was still crowded on Monday morning.

But for Ming Shen Qingyin, it was an unusual sense of peace.

Because everyone was scrambling to buy the magazine, which featured Maijo Kyosuke's latest work.

Seeing Maishiro Kyosuke gradually rise from a "genius new writer" to a "well-known writer," Myojin Kiyone was genuinely happy for him.

The reason I'm here today is to support Maijo Kyosuke, and to celebrate his beautiful song "Top Hat."

I want to contribute to the magazine.

Following the surging crowd, Ming Shen Qingyin finally managed to squeeze into the bookstore.

It seems that Kodansha is cultivating "Top Hat" magazine as its flagship product.

The cover of the first issue of "Top Hat" magazine featured only a black top hat and a white lisianthus flower.

Now, in the fifth issue of Top Hat magazine, it has become a scene of thirteen people wearing black top hats sitting around a table, imitating the Last Supper.

This upgrade on the cover demonstrates Kodansha's sincerity and ambition.

In addition, each copy of Top Hat magazine only costs five hundred yen, which further stimulated some "appearance-conscious" people, who gave up the idea of ​​buying other magazines and turned to Top Hat magazine instead.

After all, if it were another publisher, a cover of this quality would probably sell for 800 yen!

After much effort, Ming Shenqing finally paid and walked out of the bookstore carrying the fifth issue of "Top Hat" magazine.

Only then did Ming Shen Qingyin realize that she was already covered in sweat from being squeezed in the surging crowd.

However, thinking back to the time when I spent 10,000 yen to buy "Summer of the Ubume" from another little shrine maiden, I realized that...

Myojin Sei-on felt that it was worth the trouble to be able to buy the "Top Hat" magazine, which featured Maijo Kyosuke's work, at the original price.

With this pleasant feeling.

Myojin Sei-ne walked with her feet on tiptoe toward Kitano Tenmangu Shrine in Kamikyo Ward.

"hiss"

Ming Shen Qingyin held the fifth issue of "Top Hat" magazine and gasped.

The expression on his face was indescribably complex.

Closing the fifth issue of "Top Hat" magazine, Ming Shen Qingyin stared at the cover and finally understood.

What do these thirteen people sitting at the dining table represent?

"Those who want to become food, and those who want to eat food —"

"How on earth did Ms. Maishiro come up with such a bizarre and ingenious idea?"

Ming Shen Qingyin placed the "Top Hat" magazine on the table and vigorously rubbed the hairs standing on end on her fair arms.

He felt both strange and impressed by Maijo Kyosuke's talent.

After all, being able to come up with such a reversal and such an extreme motivation, it's no exaggeration to call him a genius!

Thinking of these things, Ming Shen Qingyin felt somewhat saddened.

Logically speaking, I should have started my journey back to Tokyo on February 1st.

But unexpectedly, because of his excellent performance, he had to stay at Kitano Tenmangu Shrine for another half month before he could return to Tokyo.

If it were before, having received an invitation from Kitano Tenmangu Shrine in Kyoto to stay for another half a month, Myojin Seine would probably have been so excited that she couldn't sleep.

But that's not the case at all now.

Although it might be a little embarrassing to think this way.

But ever since Myojin Seine read Maishiro Kyosuke's "Summer of the Ubume," she felt that she could never let go of Maishiro Kyosuke.

Myojin Sei-on's primary duty is as a shrine maiden; she shouldn't have such feelings, much less let them grow unchecked like vines.

However, Ming Shen Qingyin was still at the age of budding romance, and she had no way of controlling her feelings.

Not to mention, Maishiro Kyosuke also has a beautiful female editor like Eri Miri by his side.

Although Myojin Seine always believed that Maishiro Kyosuke and Eri Ryumi were a perfect match made in heaven.

But when I lie awake all night, clutching my pillow, I always feel a sense of unease.

So many lovers end up together, why can't it be me?

Thinking of all this, Myojin Kiyone could only sigh heavily, silently rehearsing in her mind how she would end the month-long misunderstanding between her and Maijo Kyosuke after their reunion.

Myojin Seine, from Kitano Tenmangu Shrine in Kamigyo Ward, Kyoto, was not the only one who harbored feelings for Maijo Kyosuke.

And right now, Kenzaki Mitsuki is at her villa in Roppongi, Minato Ward, Tokyo.

However, compared to the reserved love of Myojin Seine, Kenzaki Mitsuki's love for Maijo Kyosuke is much more intense.

"Rurina, is there really no way to find Teacher Dana's whereabouts?"

Kenzaki Mitsuki frowned and asked the butler beside her.

Upon hearing Kenzaki Mitsuki's words, the butler named Rurina shook her head apologetically: "I'm sorry, Miss, I really tried my best, but no matter how many people I sent out, we couldn't find Ms. Dana's whereabouts."

0

Kenzaki Mitsuki pouted unhappily after hearing Rurina's words.

She was angry partly because she couldn't find Ms. Dana's whereabouts.

On the other hand, it's because of a strong sense of crisis!

The source of this sense of crisis is self-evident; it almost entirely stems from Eri Miri, the editor-in-chief of Kodansha's magazine department.

Although Kenzaki Koki is very confident in her figure and appearance, she can't seem to be confident in her talents.

Especially—two days ago, I heard Jiang Liumei's detailed interpretation and comprehensive evaluation of "Dear Mr. S".

Although Kenzaki Mitsuki didn't want to admit it, at that time, Eri Miri was like an angel shining with golden light.

If she didn't see Jiang Liu Meili as a rival in love, Kenzaki Mitsuki really wanted to become good friends with her.

Maijo Kyosuke was naturally unaware of the thoughts of Myojin Kiyone and Kenzaki Mitsuki.

Having slept all day, Maijo Kyosuke, now refreshed and ready to fight, is standing in the bustling Kabukicho district of Shinjuku, Tokyo.

What I need now is to immerse myself in this place, feel the atmosphere, and make ample preparations for polishing "The City That Never Sleeps".

In order to surpass Nishimura Hisayuki, Maijo Kyosuke had to write a darker and more realistic portrayal of Shinjuku life than the original "Sleepless Town"!
