Chapter 638: Bursting Out
"What is gushing out is not just inspiration"
Hojo Kyosuke didn't dare to hear such words. If he accidentally heard it, he would have to explain to his good brother that he really didn't do anything behind his back.
Before, Kenzo Chino cooperated with him to do things, and he was glad that he met an enterprising president. Now he began to worry that the president would force him to shoot commercials.
The leading association of the Japanese literary world will not become a mental hospital under my influence.
Hojo Kyosuke turned around, put his hand on Kenzo Chino's shoulder, and conveyed through his eyes the thought of "I'm going to kill you if you don't shut up", so the latter finally shut up in disappointment.
Ah, really, isn't this great? It appeals to both the elite and the masses! Maybe those social critics will even say that our association's silicone girlfriends have reduced the crime rate in society.
Kenzo Chino was full of regret. He believed that if he asked Kyosuke Hojo to be the protagonist of the advertisement, the Silicone Lover certified by him would definitely be a great success.
Hojo Kyosuke said seriously: "Listen, writers are holy..."
"Do you believe this?"
Kenzo Chikano didn't say anything, but someone could clearly read his words from his eyes, so he changed his words under the condemnation of his conscience:
"Curiosity, or the desire to peep, is an innate desire of human beings. As a public figure, you have to get closer to your fans while maintaining a certain sense of mystery. Silicone girlfriends are too intimate."
Isn't this the selling point? Kenzo Chikano was unwilling, but dared not say a word. The hand on his shoulder had five slender fingers and distinct joints. It was clearly a hand that was extremely suitable for typing on a keyboard, but it gave off a sense of being an unshakable weapon of civilization (machine), as if it could easily crush his shoulder.
"The raindrops fell from the sky like falling stars. The white gravel and sand in the yard were soaked, and the frightened deer made a series of thumping sounds.
The eaves gathered the dripping stars, connecting them into a string to form a rain curtain. The outer edge of the corridor was a little damp, but more of it was the refreshing feeling brought by the falling rain.
I sat on the porch, leaning against the doorpost, my thoughts flowing back to the sky with the dripping stars, and then the story floated into my mind. "
Kenzo Chino's thoughts flew to such a rainy day along with Hojo Kyosuke's whispers. "Dripping stars", what a beautiful word! The broken stars dripped to the earth, bringing stories from the sky to the lazy writer.
It has the writer's unique romance, yet is also approachable enough.
"so……"
He looked into Hojo Kyosuke's eyes, and his face finally lost that crazy enthusiasm, and instead showed the reservedness of a scholar:
"…What on earth are you selling?"
"vulgar!"
Hojo Kyosuke shouted loudly, and seeing that the other party was unmoved, he shrugged and said:
"Sell a desk or a tatami chair. If that doesn't work, sell a startled deer or a bed. You don't have to sit in the corridor and enjoy the rain to get inspiration. Isn't it more convenient to dream about it while sleeping? Anyway, no matter what you sell, it's more reliable than your silicone lover, which is simply disgraceful."
"How can you say that a novelist's affairs are shameful?"
While Kenzo Chino was shouting, he was quickly thinking about how feasible what Hojo Kyosuke said was.
"It just so happens that your girlfriend, Ms. Kasumi Shiko, has a family that is a nationally renowned furniture dealer, so it's just right..."
At this point, he suddenly froze, looked at Hojo Kyosuke in shock, and said in a trembling voice:
"...Hojo, you, are you here to compensate Kasumigaoka-sensei because you asked me to hold Kasumigaoka-sensei back before?"
"I'm not like that. Don't talk nonsense. My father is a former famous lawyer in Tokyo, and my uncle is the president of a big law firm in Tokyo now, President Kono. I advise you to be careful with your words and actions."
Hojo Kyosuke directly gave three consecutive denials.
"No, it must be like this. This way, even if Kasumi Shiko-sensei finds out what you did, you can cover it up by saying that you really wanted to help the Kasumigaoka family expand their business."
As Kenzo Chikano spoke, his thoughts became clearer and the look he gave Hojo Kyosuke became even more horrified.
This guy...can I still call him a scumbag?
Can a mere scumbag really do such a thing?
As a perfect man with only two lovers, Kenzo Chikano thought he was an outlier among famous writers, but he didn't expect that Hojo Kyosuke would be so shocking.
If that literary master who consumed a lover every time he committed suicide were to be resurrected, he would probably immediately seek out Hojo to be his disciple, right?
Kenzo Chino had no idea what the brain structure of Hojo Kyosuke was, but that didn't stop him from admiring him, so he patted his chest and promised to immediately promote cooperation between the association and Kasumigaoka family after the award ceremony. He launched the same tatami chairs, low tables, and beds as the literary masters.
"Sharing your bed with you is not only loneliness, but also the endless starry sky." Hojo, what do you think of this slogan?
Kenzo Chino became excited again. After achieving enough success in the literary world, what he now pursues is to leave a name in the mystery world.
Not very good. Do you mean that I can connect to the Outer Gods by sleeping in your bed?
Hojo Kyosuke complained in his heart, but he felt that compared to other Japanese advertisements, this was actually quite restrained.
Kenzo Chino was not discouraged by the lack of response and continued:
"No? Then "Sit down, besides him, I will satisfy you."
Even someone as quick-witted as Hojo Kyosuke took him 0.1 seconds to realize that Kenzo Chikano's advertising slogan was referring to tatami chairs.
He turned his head and looked at the president in surprise.
No, if you have this talent, why don't you go and make a name for yourself by shooting commercials for sex toys? Instead, what are you doing staying in this small Neon Mystery Association?
"No, this ad has too obvious gender bias and seems to be screening customers. It needs to be changed.
By the way, "It seems like you've sat down, but it's actually entered your body." This is about inspiration. Hojo, what do you think? I'll let you be the one when the time comes. You just need to have a radiant expression on your face when you sit on the tatami chair."
"I don't think it's that good. Why did you act it yourself? I think you are very talented, Chikano-san."
"Me? Although I have the charm of a mature man, I am worried that a mere camera will not be able to show my charm..."
"Please stop, my stomach is protesting."
"How about asking the female writers in the association to come?"
Has the evil claws already extended to female writers? Hojo Kyosuke's heart sank. From what Kenzo Chino said, he seemed to have seen the development of the book, but...
"I beg you to spare the audience. The female writers in our association are not as good-looking as you in women's clothing."
If it weren't for this, how could those people at home be at ease with him hanging out at the association every day.
"that's true……"
Kenzo Chino pondered for two seconds and said hesitantly:
"Since my secretary works for the Mystery Writers Association, she should also be considered a writer, right? After all, she assists the writers in their work."
"You don't want to lose this job, do you? This is what a secretary should do, right?"
These words appeared in Hojo Kyosuke's mind, and he finally understood why he could get along so well with Kenzo Chino and Tsuyoshi Oosaka.
It's a sense of justice!
It turned out that it was his inner sense of justice that drove him to eradicate the pervert Kenzo Chino and restore order to the Reasoning Association.
Thinking of this, he took out a business card from his pocket and handed it over.
Kenzo Chino took it and looked at it:
Hojo Utsumi & Tamai Law Office, lawyer Utsumi Kaisuke, phone number...
"What's wrong? Our association has its own legal advisor? Hojo, do you want to help your father's law firm increase its business?" he asked puzzledly.
Hojo Kyosuke said earnestly:
"No, I'm not helping my father, I'm helping you. Chikano-san, your future is definitely not something that an ordinary defense lawyer can interfere with. Only an undefeated lawyer like my father can save you."
Kenzo Chikano reacted and cursed with a smile, then continued to think about the advertising slogan.
The two of them walked into the restaurant, chatting and laughing all the way. No one talked about the upcoming final selection, as if it had nothing to do with them at all.
Although Kenzo Chino is the president, he has no say in the selection process and system of the grand prize.
The Neon Mystery Association Awards were fully in charge of the Awards Committee. Whether it was the selection of works or the judges, they had nothing to do with him as the president.
The person who is currently presiding over the final selection in the "CATTLEYA" conference room on the fourth floor is Kazuo Kitamura, a standing director of the award committee.
Therefore, Kenzo Chino, as the president of the association, was extremely free. He moved around like a socialite among the many guests who arrived at the hotel early and established relationships with them.
Entering the restaurant, Hojo Kyosuke grabbed Kenzo Chino who was about to walk towards the long table.
What are you doing? My mom, Yingliang and Mitsuha are chatting happily, and you want to go over and ask everyone to stand up and say hello to you? How tiring! You have no self-awareness at all!
Complaining in his heart, Hojo Kyosuke grabbed Kenzo Chino's shoulders and took him directly to the men's side.
Kenzo Chikano glanced speechlessly at the hand on his shoulder, and had a deeper understanding of what Tetsuta Kisaki said: "Women are like life, brothers are like clothes."
Complaining in his heart, he put on a smile on his face and strode towards the men.
"Hojo-san, it's been a long time since I last saw you..."
Facing Hojo Ichiro, who was not much older than them, Kensaku Chino, who was on the same level as Hojo Kyosuke, greeted him with the attitude of a junior.
Looking at the association president who was so respectful to him, Hojo Ichiro was suddenly moved.
I didn't expect that in addition to countless hardships, I could also enjoy the benefits brought by my son.
The old father had tears in his eyes. He had thought that the best vision his son would bring him would be a group of young and beautiful daughters-in-law calling him "Dad" in a coquettish voice. He didn't expect that he could also benefit from this.
He immediately shook Kenzo Chikano's hand and said a lot of polite words, saying that his son was a good-for-nothing and that he was very grateful to everyone for taking care of him.
"Hahaha, Mr. Spencer, I didn't expect you to arrive so early."
"Given the relationship between our family and Kyousuke-kun, it's only natural that we arrive early." Mr. Spencer smiled and stretched out his hand to shake it.
"Mr. Yukinoshita, I didn't expect to see you here. It's really..."
Kenzo Chikano greeted everyone one by one before sitting down.
Hojo Kyosuke sat next to his father early, and on the other side was Miyamizu Toshiki.
Hojo Ichiro, who had been begging his son to save his life for a long time, was not in such a good mood now. He had thought that if his unfilial son came, he could jump out of the vortex and stand aside to watch him being tortured by his in-laws.
As a result, the unfilial son has come, but he has also brought an "outsider" with him.
With the addition of Kenzo Chikano, the atmosphere at the scene was very good. No one talked about Hojo Kyousuke's emotional problems anymore. Everyone was just chatting casually. For example, they cursed the country, the prime minister, the hostile parliamentarians, and the local laws...
Hojo Kyosuke's father-in-laws were all people of social status, and their social skills were needless to say.
A few people were talking while drinking tea, and soon the Kasumigaoka couple appeared at the door of the restaurant.
Mr. Kasumigaoka felt a murderous aura as soon as he entered the door. Having fought in the business world for many years, he showed no flaws on his face. He walked straight to the men's table without looking sideways or at the long table. He smiled and said from a distance:
"I'm sorry I'm late. The friend introduced by President Chino was so enthusiastic that we couldn't stop chatting..."
This was a bit inappropriate, as if he was blaming Kenzo Chikano for wasting his time, but Mr. Kasumigaoka didn't care about that. He had to get rid of the blame as soon as possible, otherwise his daughter would kill him with her eyes.
Kenzo Chino felt bitter when he heard this. He wanted to say:
"Hahaha, Hojo specifically told me to treat Mr. Kasumigaoka well."
This statement can not only throw the blame away cleanly, but also make an excuse when Hojo gets in trouble later, "I said this for your own good. Doesn't it show that you value teacher Kasumi Shiko a lot?"
But he didn't dare to do so, because Hojo Kyosuke had threatened him before.
Even though he believed that teacher Kasumi Shiko would be able to figure out that this was an arrangement made by Hojo, what was Hojo Kyosuke's identity and what was his own?
Maybe this is just a little hobby between boys and girls, and I am the only one who is caught between two sides.
Apart from anything else, at this moment, he had already seen the deadly gaze coming from the other side of the long table out of the corner of his eye.
Teacher Kasumi Shiko was staring at herself and Mr. Kasumigaoka with an expressionless face.
Bitter...
If a person doesn't even let his own father go, how can he let himself go?
Kasumigaoka Utaha was really angry at this moment. Sakura's mother came, Yukinoshita's mother came, Nozomi's mother came, Eriri's mother came, and even Mitsuha had a sister to speak for Yukino. Only she couldn't see where her parents were, so she could only play teasing on Eriri to pass the time.
If her mother had been there, even Mrs. Yukinoshita would not have been her match. Aunt Mikiko would definitely be able to tell who is the best candidate for in-laws.
And this is why Hojo Kyosuke asked Kenzo Chino to help him hold back the Kasumigaoka couple. When senior Kasumigaoka was alone, her combat power was already invincible. If she had support, the scene would be even more exciting.
Thanks to the big guys for their monthly tickets, recommendation tickets and reward support, thank you
