Chapter 105 The Peak
I returned home to cook, and by the time I finished eating, it was almost nine o'clock.
Maki Miyazawa, who had been washing dishes slowly and lagging behind, naturally lost the right to take a bath first, so Haruno Sawayama was the first to take a bath today.
Occasionally, the thought "That guy doesn't do anything when he takes a bath, does he?", so it's great to be the first to take a bath.
No matter what happened, at least Haruno Sawayama felt that it was quite comfortable to take such a relaxing bath.
After this rare relaxation time was over, he returned to his bedroom to prepare for coding according to his habit.
In order to avoid causing unnecessary misunderstandings again, he deliberately kept the door ajar this time and did not close it completely.
Of course, there is no way to avoid Salmon Balls running into the bedroom and lying on his lap to act coquettishly.
Fortunately, today's coding task is relatively easy. Haruno Sawayama is already preparing to send the manuscript he has written to the mailbox of Kodansha's online editor.
In order to reduce trouble as much as possible, the title of the book remains "Norwegian Wood".
He did not live in this world for a year or two. It was definitely a completely parallel world. Even if Haruki Murakami really existed in this world, it was unlikely that he was working on writing novels, so there was no such thing in the title of the book. Too much scruple.
The only thing that gives me a headache is maybe the pen name?
"Salmon Balls, what do you think is a better pen name for me to use?"
Haruno Sawayama scratched the cute kitten on his lap and murmured to himself: "Although there are many physical authors who use their real names, but as expected, it would be very social to be recognized by others using their real names, right?"
"Meow~"
Salmon Ball yawned lazily.
It didn't seem to care about Haruno Sawayama's troubles, and just enjoyed the somewhat comfortable massage from the man.
"pen name."
Haruno Sawayama lowered his head and thought for a while. After a moment of hesitation, he decided to use his real name and choose a name that was similar but difficult to associate with it.
His name is Haruno Sawayama, but Sawayama here is pronounced Kiriyama, which is Kiriyama.
Just use Wushan as the surname and add a random name after it.
Haruno Sawayama thought about it and finally decided to temporarily use "Fuyumi Kiriyama" as his pen name.
Although it sounds as strange as his real name
He complained a few words in his mind, but still added it to the document to be sent.
What follows is nothing more than expounding on the creative concept and other boring things.
Although the editor might not care much about this kind of thing, Sawayama Haruno felt that he should make it up a little bit. He couldn't just say "I just want to be famous" and "I just want to make a lot of money", right?
If you express this idea, you will probably be ridiculed. You must know that the chain of contempt in the island country's literary world is not light at all, especially in this place where the strong-willed doctrine has been magnified to the extreme, and the contempt between literati has become a somewhat deformed culture.
Even if you write better than others, if you don't have enough qualifications in the literary world, you still don't have much say.
“It’s really troublesome”
Haruno Sawayama tapped the keyboard, finishing all the empty words such as the concept he wanted to write in two or three clicks, and then sent it to the submission email address published by Kodansha online.
Done.
The next step is to wait patiently for a reply. I don’t know if I will get a reply within a week.
Haruno Sawayama stretched himself, and the salmon balls lying on his lap were also looking good.
The cry of its real owner came from outside the door, as if Maki Miyazawa was telling him to hurry up and take a bath.
Haruno Sawayama picked up the back of its neck and sent it back to the "bathroom hell". I have already washed myself extremely clean, but this smelly cat still dares to come over and stick a sticker on it without taking a bath?
Haruno Sawayama shook his head and continued to sit back in front of the computer and work on his studies.
Time slipped away quickly and quietly.
The next day.
Go to school as usual, listen to classes, eat, listen to classes, listen to classes.
Finally, it was time to end the last class.
Affected by the fact that the last class was a boring one, Haruno Sawayama was already in a trance in the second half of class.
On the other hand, Mine Shiori listened very seriously, which puzzled Haruno Sawayama.
He was clearly concentrating on other things in the water class before, but now he is so serious.
After seeing the teacher standing at the front announcing the end of get out of class, he thought for a while and took the initiative to say: "Shiori, Is it almost time to set off?"
"Um."
Mine Shiori just picked up the book and blinked subconsciously after hearing what Haruno Sawayama said.
She tapped the book on the table twice and said slowly: "It seems that there is still a while before Suguha's appearance, but you can go there in advance now."
"Then let's go."
Sawayama Haruno yawned and said lazily: "I'm the only one here, so I'd better go there early to have a look around. This is my first time going inside a martial arts hall."
"Really? When I was in high school, I organized a visit to the Budokan."
Mine Shiori showed a faint smile and said: "At that time in the history of the school, there were two people who entered the martial arts hall to perform."
"My school seems to have one, but I have no impression of it."
Haruno Sawayama randomly stuffed the book into his schoolbag and replied casually.
In the island country, Budokan basically means the pinnacle of "talent", although there are also baseball peaks named "Koshien" and kendo peaks named "Butokuden".
But if you have to choose a "holy place for talent" that most people recognize, it is undoubtedly the Budokan.
"Really, if the system had appeared a few years earlier, maybe I could have gone to the martial arts gym." Haruno Sawayama thought.
The reward he received, "Skill Improvement", is the best helper for this development route.
The only pity is that "skill improvement" has a prerequisite for triggering, that is, it must be a skill that one has already mastered in order to be improved.
Although he learns things very quickly, it is not practical to participate in many competitions at his current age. The attention of the adult competition is definitely not as high as that of the high school competition, unless it is a chess event. .
Forget it, let's focus on the road of becoming a civil servant.
Unless you can win a championship in a competition like the Budokan, you will still not be able to compare with a great writer who can write literature.
Even if he wins the championship, he may not be able to compare.
The islanders’ persistence in literature is not small at all.
With this thought in mind, Sawayama Haruno followed Mine Shiori casually, and the two took the train towards Chiyoda District.
