Chapter 533: Life Span Has Been Deducted to the Next Life

"Is it going to be the awards ceremony at the Mystery Association soon?"

"Yeah, I'm really looking forward to it. Why doesn't time go faster?"

"It should be reprinted by then. Last time I went to the countryside for the reprint of the House Awards, I didn't get Orz. This time I will buy it for collection no matter what."

"wwwwww, I grabbed it in the third game. Although I didn't get Mr. Hojo's restaurant voucher, I chatted with him for a long time while signing autographs."

"envious(_)"

"Of course it will be reprinted, but I don't know if Hojo-sensei will hold another book signing."

"Signing events... Hojo-sensei's signing events are really rare. I really envy those who get signed copies. After the Honya Grand Prize, I thought I would hold many signing events in one go, and I have already worked hard to prepare the funds. Sorry, so sad..."

"Well...is it possible...that the person who won the award is not Mr. Hojo..."

"!!?"

"Talk!"

"I put down my lunch box but still held up my fork. Now please explain in detail why you had such an idea."

"Absolutely! It's definitely not that I don't like Mr. Hojo's works. I hope he can win the award more than anyone else! But...it is that, generally speaking, literary awards like this are not too fond of awarding awards for good sales. The second one of the Honya Grand Prize One of them has basically never won such an award..."

"If you can't win an award because of this kind of thing, what's the point of having such an award?"

"Does it mean that the judgment of a few judges must be better than that of tens of thousands of people?"

"Anyway, I've already decided that I'm going to watch it live. It will be at the Daiichi Tokyo Hotel in Shimbashi, right?"

"That's what the public information on the website says, but you shouldn't be able to get in without an invitation, right?"

"Then it's at the door. I've already ordered a bouquet to give to Mr. Hojo, as the first fan to congratulate him."

"What if we really don't win the prize?"

"Then hit the judge hard on the head with the flowers, and when the time comes, say you are giving them to him."

"You can prepare two bouquets of flowers, one of which is made of roses without pruned thorns."

"Not bad, what a good idea."

"Together, Mr. Hojo will be happier if there are more people, right?"

"If it's an invitation letter, I should be able to get it. I have an uncle who works in a newspaper. I'll ask him if he can do anything."

"In that case, my father also..."

"..."

The content about whether Hojo Kyosuke can win the prize has ended, and the subsequent discussion has turned into how many people should go to the final selection site to cheer for dear Mr. Hojo.

The new chat room address was posted, and an endless stream of people jumped out and said that they had some connections to enter the venue, provide flowers, make celebration cakes by themselves, and offer themselves as gifts...

Kurokawa Toyoma was sweating profusely while watching it, and even if he kept wiping it with a towel, he couldn't wipe it dry.

Is this a book lover? Are you telling me that I am a book lover?

The old man felt dry. As far as he saw, the number of people who had signed up to cheer for Hojo Kyousuke at the scene exceeded 300. Because there were floors, it was easy to count. Among those who said they could get invitations, some of them carelessly posted the names of their elders, and some of them were actually people in the industry that they were familiar with.

This confirmed to him that these brats were not joking...

Since it's not a joke, are roses with thorns real?

The handkerchief that was wiping his forehead inadvertently slipped over the head of the head with sparse hair. How much more suffering would this precious and weathered head have to endure?

Sure enough, such serious literary matters should not have anything to do with the public! !

The website he was looking at was the last one left to him by Tetsuta Kisaki.

"Maybe you have some fans, but you have to know that the Commander-in-Chief and you are completely from two different worlds." Huang Mao said.

For readers, some wonderful or touching plots may never be forgotten in their lifetime, but the name of the protagonist may be forgotten immediately after reading the book, let alone the author, unless they are unhappy and want to knock his head. Otherwise, who cares what the author’s last name is. In addition to some authoritative works, he is a big boss who can turn his name into a signature and has extraordinary appeal.

But my eldest brother Hojo Kyosuke was different. It was during a book signing event, and the girls passing by just saw the Hojo Kyosuke picture on the promotional sign and unconsciously walked in to queue. Someone needed to be assigned to guard the sign so that it wouldn't be stolen. Go, he can be called a human aphrodisiac, a ruthless machine to pick up girls, his fans have extraordinary qualities, in other words, they are abnormal.

This is not only due to his outstanding appearance and many excellent characteristics, but also to Kisaki Tetsuta's long-term management.

From the very beginning when Hojo Kyosuke started serializing "One Punch Man", this outstanding military strategist started unique marketing, formed a special "staff (Navy)" unit, and put various "candid photos" on the Internet , using Hojo Kyosuke himself and his reputation in the bad world to market. After that, he worked tirelessly. No matter if he won the Hojo Kyosuke math competition or the kendo competition, he would market it vigorously.

It can be said that, apart from being unable to keep the bed warm, this number one brother has already done his best to be a subordinate.

In the past, there was the threat of Tetsuta Kirisaki bringing someone into the house, and later there were crazy fans on the Internet. It can be said that Kurokawa Toyomasa fully understood what would happen if he did not vote for Hojo Kyosuke.

Later, please ask Aisaka-san to ask Mr. Hojo if you can help him write a recommendation for a new book.

Kurokawa Toyoya started to think about it.

No, just find a newspaper and brag about it directly. No, there are too few. Find a few more. Anyway, during this period, there are many media who want to interview him and dig out the inside story of the selection. Before, he used his identity to pretend to be aloof and unwilling to accept interviews, but now he can earn some interview fees.

"Have you finished reading?"

scare! ! ?

A ghostly voice sounded out of thin air in the room, frightening Kurokawa Toyoya, who was concentrating on his tablet and thinking, and screamed, and he even stepped back with his hands on the ground.

What the hell! ?

In shock, he climbed to the corner of the wall and had no way to retreat before he raised his head and looked forward, when a figure sitting cross-legged came into view.

It's him! It's the man he longs for!

Hojo Kyosuke!

Wearing a custom-made suit, he sat there leisurely, with a leisurely posture, a jade-like face, and a gentle expression.

Kurokawa Toyoma, who was still wondering why those idiots on the Internet were so crazy, understood everything immediately the moment she saw Hojo Kyousuke in reality.

Kurokawa Toyomasa considers himself a knowledgeable person, but the moment he saw the man in front of him, his mind flashed to the innocent and spotless Hikari Genji in his swaddling clothes, and thought of the peerless young Mori Ranmaru, who was worth fifty million He thought about all the famous handsome men in the light years, but he couldn't find anyone who could compare with the one in front of him.

Why do you want to write a book when you are so handsome? Isn’t it good to be a Cowherd? asshole!

And it is such a handsome guy who is destined to leave a mark in history just by his appearance. He actually controls a murderer who is always issuing death threats and has crazy fans. Followed by such subordinates and worshiped by such fans, how could he, Hojo Kyosuke, not be a crazy and violent thug? !

"You...when did you come? No, how did you get in?"

Kurokawa Toyoma was so frightened that she couldn't even finish her words. Could it be that Huang Mao and the others were just smoke bombs before, and Hojo Kyosuke would eventually kill him with his own hands? !

"I've been here for a while. I saw Mr. Kurokawa was concentrating, so I didn't bother him." Hojo Kyosuke said.

No bother! ? You should knock on the door properly before you come in, bastard! Kurokawa Toyoya yelled crazily in her heart.

Looking at Hojo Kyosuke's calm expression, he concluded that this was definitely a habitual criminal who committed burglary or murder! Otherwise, it would never be so relaxing and comfortable!

"Oh, by the way, I rang the doorbell and called several times, but there was no sound from inside. I also saw the door open. I was worried that something had happened to Mr. Kurokawa, so I came in without permission. I'm really sorry. ." Hojo Kyosuke added.

Oh, yes, I seemed to hear a sound.

Listening to the sincere voice of the man in front of him, Kurokawa Toyoya was convinced without hesitation.

He also remembered why the door was left open. After Tetsuta Kisaki and the others left, he rushed out to check on his puppy. He thought that if John really died, he would have a little bit of leverage. But unfortunately, when he grabbed the puppy and shook it twice, the hateful dog actually woke up.

It was so scary. He had seen a lot of terrorists who could knock people unconscious, but he had never seen one that could even knock a dog out.

"That's it. I'm really sorry to bother you, Mr. Hojo."

After regaining consciousness for a moment, Kurokawa Toyoma immediately became a Dogeza.

Ah, the third one...

Hojo Kyosuke sighed feebly. If he had let this go in his previous life, not to mention shortening his lifespan, he would have to postpone it to the next life.

But seeing Kurokawa Toyoma's performance, he felt relieved.

This man was completely frightened.

"It doesn't matter. I feel relieved to see that Mr. Kurokawa is safe and sound." He said with a smile, and then he didn't intend to waste any more time and said straight to the point:

"I came here because I had some misunderstandings with Mr. Kurokawa..."

"There is no misunderstanding! There is absolutely no misunderstanding. They are all my unilateral mistakes. I actually..."

Kurokawa Toyomasa interrupted Hojo Kyosuke's words extremely presumptuously and began to apologize frantically. One moment, he said that he was not very talented and learned, but he failed to understand the great principles in Mr. Hojo's masterpiece. The other moment, he said that he suffered from familial mental illness and actually said those messy words.

Amidst the patter of rain, the respected celebrities in the industry and the "arrogant and uninhibited" juniors reached a friendly consensus.

Bang——

The big black umbrella was opened, and Hojo Kyousuke stood under the umbrella. He first looked up at the shadow of the cherry blossoms on the umbrella, smiled slightly, and then turned to look at the entrance of the house.

"The weather is getting colder, please go back, Kurokawa-san." He said goodbye with a smile.

"It's okay, I just finished talking to Mr. Hojo, and I'm full of energy. I can't wait to hold the final selection meeting right away!" Kurokawa Toyoma said with a smile.

After that, Hojo Kyosuke went to another judge's house and received warm hospitality. Naganuma Hiruki even held a banquet on the spot to introduce all his connections to Hojo Kyosuke, his most promising junior.

And when Hojo Kyosuke was running around, the girl's heart also followed him back and forth in the rain.

"Don't stay here. Kyousuke's words are absolutely fine. You have to have confidence in him!"

Sakura put his arm around Eriri's shoulders and whispered, the full vitality in his voice seemed to dilute the gloom of the rainy day.

"Who is worried about him! If he can't pass the manuscript even with the participation of the author, he might as well not come back!" Eriri frowned and yelled.

"Sakura, how dare you say that Eriri has no confidence in Kyosuke. This guy's trust in Kyosuke is completely blind. She must be worried about whether the parts she is responsible for are done well." Mitsuha didn't know why she was dissatisfied with Sakura.

"Yeah, she is worried about whether the shoes here are drawn wrong, and whether the perspective there is wrong. Kashiwagi Eri is such a useless guy. She has obviously done her best, but she always lacks confidence. This shortcoming is fatal to creators!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha also ridiculed her. She remembered that when Eriri's doujinshi was sold for the first time, this guy was shaking nervously while holding Kyosuke's hand. When it was sold out, the people around her applauded and congratulated her, and she bowed and couldn't say a word of happiness.

Really, as a creator, the most important thing is to have confidence in your work. If you don't even believe in your own words, how can readers feel what you want to convey?

"Huh? I don't have confidence? Kasumigaoka Utaha, can you stop shaking your legs first?" Even if she was nervous, Eriri's accurate counterattack was not affected at all.

Me? Nervous shaking legs? Are you kidding?

Kasumigaoka was about to refute, but she found an unnatural feeling on her legs. Looking down, she saw a white little hand pressing on her thigh.

The little hand pinched hard.

"Hehe~~ It feels really good, no wonder~~"

The owner of the hand showed a bright smile and said something ambiguous, and Kasumigaoka blushed immediately.

"It's okay, Kyosuke won't be stumped by such a small matter. He is not going to fight, but to accept the fruits of victory." Sakura laughed and pressed Kasumigaoka's nervous thigh.

"Of course I know about this, move your hand away from my leg!" Kasumigaoka said with a red face. She felt hot all over when Kyosuke touched her, but she felt uncomfortable when Sakura touched her.

"Ah, can't I~" Yamauchi Sakura sighed with a flat mouth.

"Humph! So Kasumigaoka Utaha is such a stingy guy, come and touch me!"

Eriri generously stretched her legs from Kasumigaoka and stuffed them into Sakura's arms.
