Chapter 006 I Want to Become a Novelist

Ryunosuke Akutagawa, Osamu Dazai, Yukio Mishima, Yasunari Kawabata

Mr. Guiwu is not wrong in what he said

Mr. Guiwu is already a spirit, what else can he do

I want to indulge in chaos! What is dignity worth? Hmph!

Ha! Saikyo, the first of the S nation, sanQ

In an instant

Mr. Edogawa Rampo's books are a must-buy. Works by social detective master Seicho Matsumoto are absolutely not to be missed. Although I have always felt that his writing is too dry, I indeed enjoy his stories very much. Additionally, when I die, Mr. Soji Shimada is a very active novelist...

Hello, Mr. Guiwu, could you please be a bit more mature? It's buzzing in my ear...

Dong Yeqiang said with a more resolute tone: "Mr. Guiwu, starting today, I will strive for my dreams. To live for one's dreams, such a person can be called a dream eater; the Buddhist youth in Dali no longer exists at this moment! I now swear to you, this vengeful spirit, that I, Dong Yeqiang, will eliminate any obstacles that hinder me from realizing my dreams! Even by any means necessary! This 300,000 is my only opportunity, do you understand?" I now swear to you, this vengeful spirit, that I, Dong Yeqiang, will eliminate any obstacles that hinder me from realizing my dreams! Even by any means necessary! This 300,000 is my only opportunity, do you understand?"

Dong Ye Qiang nodded slightly; he did not need to conceal this thought, "It is just so."

Mr. Higashino, who died due to a melon peel, is utterly shameless

Higashino Steel has not reacted much yet, but Chiyo from the Higashino family immediately responded with a remark

From the perspective of awards, it is entirely possible to submit the original manuscript of the book to the judging panel, thus presenting it as a completely new work by a debut author

The allure of a pen name is indeed immense.

I am preparing to write a detective novel, which is quite different from those literary masters. Mr. Edogawa Rampo did not commit suicide, did he? Moreover, this type of novel tends to be more profitable

So real, it changes face in an instant

Even if you call me a fly, I will not stop! After all, I cannot do anything to you, nor can you do anything to me, haha... If you do not agree, I will keep murmuring in your ear.

However, this result is to be expected; Higashino Kyou knew it would turn out this way

I understand, Saikyo, your dream is also my dream, and I, Higashino Keigo, will certainly do my utmost to support you

Father and Mother, it is now the Heisei era

Higashino straightforwardly revealed his plan.

Therefore, the mother's concerns are justified

Dongye Qiang listened and still nodded slightly

However ... ...

Therefore, he will oppose any event that reduces the likelihood of winning an award

Mr. Guiwu, do you really not understand? Before receiving the Ranpo Prize, our novels also need to be sold.

You are being shameless, how can you be so brazen? Please be a dignified spirit, if you would be so kind

Saikyo, why are you doing this

This is definitely not a joke

Mr. Guiwu wishes to dispel his grievances; is it not for the sake of Ranbu's appreciation that he does so

Let us unleash the ultimate move

Higashino Keigo: "Is that true?"

Eiji Niizuma, Munehisa Akiyama.

Higashino Keigo: "However, three hundred thousand is truly not a small amount"

Then this matter is settled

Chiyo: "Ah? Child, is that true? Isn't it too difficult?"

As he spoke, Higashino was internally thinking that if he could not complete the novel, he would have no choice but to go to Tokyo and become a host

If his name can still be celebrated by others, it would undoubtedly be the best thing for a spirit

He must persuade Mr. Keigo

Higashiya departed for Naha

Higashino Kyō: "There are two avenues for making money; one is publishing, and the other is that I will participate in the Edogawa Rampo Prize. As long as I win the Edogawa Rampo Prize, there will be a substantial monetary reward, so I will repay the money by May at the latest"

Upon hearing this, Father Steel became somewhat anxious, saying, "Child, could you perhaps choose a different goal? Even if you do nothing, our small shop can still sustain our living."

Higashino Kyou thought of a manga, "Bakuman"

The couple, Higashiya, listened with their hearts ablaze, as if they would soon be visited by many, many blessings from Yukichi Fukuzawa.

Indeed, having a ghost to assist makes a difference, as Keigo Higashino continuously offers suggestions

Having obtained thirty notes of Fukuzawa Yukichi, Higashino Tsuyoshi returned to his bedroom

Now, let us commence the plan to secure the Ranpo Prize

Mystery novel

Wait a moment, novelist

Higashino's plan is as follows

Mr. Keigo, upon hearing this, had basically understood, and thus interrupted, saying: "I see, Higashino is the strongest, your plan is to first publish this novel in order to earn the tuition for a private high school"

In fact, this situation is relatively common in Japan

The strongest! Rest assured, I understood my situation from the very beginning

The first step is to buy a book

With three hundred thousand in hand, Higashino has a sense of being the 'hope of the entire village'

It is only now that Gang and Chiyo understand that their child was speaking about aspirations.

Mr. Higashino glanced at Mr. Keigu, who was already obediently compliant, and revealed the money he had just received, "Mr. Keigu, do you see this three hundred thousand?"

......

Higashiya Tsuyoshi: "Dad, I am confident that I will be able to repay the money by the end of the year"

However, Mr. Keigo was quite angry and exclaimed, "If this happens, it will put our award-winning plan at risk! If this book is published before the Ranpo Prize, it will be reviewed by readers first. If there are too many negative reviews, how will the judges of the Ranpo Prize view this book? Moreover, there is another key factor: the Ranpo Prize itself carries the meaning of encouraging newcomers. Therefore, if our novel sells well, it will also reduce the chances of winning the award"

Higashino Kyou: "Of course."

Mr. Keigo, you must remember that you are assisting me

The Heisei era may not be considered significant, but upon hearing about making money, both the Higashino family and Chiyo and the others became invigorated.

Mr. Keigo was somewhat perplexed by this

So, how exactly should the three hundred thousand be used

Fortunately, Higashino is a resourceful person, although he is very eager to advance to the fourth-grade level

However, this book has not been officially published, and the reviewers of the Ranbu Prize are the first group of commentators, which will also bring them a great deal of comfort

Different eras

The vengeful spirit of Higashino Keigo has appeared again

We will publish first

Mr. Guiwu fell into deep thought and said, "Your idea is ... ... "

novelist

No problem

Do not publish! Do not publish! ... ...

One person and one ghost, this banter is quite at the level of a third grader.

In Japan, manga and novels share many similarities in terms of industry

The description of the comic industry here is very close to reality, as many comic authors debut by winning various awards

These four individuals are particularly renowned, and can be said to be the most dazzling figures in the Japanese literary world. Additionally, there are more than twenty other novelists who have similarly ended their own lives

Even the original illustrator of the manga, Takeshi Obata, is the same way

After listening to Higashino Qiang, he could only smile helplessly and made two points

One person and one ghost, an incredibly bizarre combination has thus established their mutual relationship

Damn, this ghost is quite difficult to deal with

Among them, 100,000 will be used to purchase books, specifically detective novels, while the remaining amount will be allocated for other purposes

The two of them will strive for their shared dream

Fortunately, they also understand that publishing a book and winning awards is not so easy. After providing the funds, they advised Higashino to not put so much pressure on himself.

Mr. Guiwu was rendered speechless by the imposing presence of Dongye Qiang

However, the current Higashino Kyo does not have any other options

Keigo Higashino nodded solemnly

Chiyo: "Son, you wouldn't lie to your mother, would you?"

Suicide

Mr. Guiwu, I am a middle school student facing the issue of further education this year. Before you appeared, I even considered entering a public high school. You should understand that if I enter a public high school, then there is basically no hope for university, so...

It is now the year 2000, and the writers of the last century in Japan, particularly the renowned literary masters, all ended their lives by suicide

Higashino spoke in a calm tone, yet with utmost seriousness: "This 300,000 is incredibly precious to our family! It is something my parents have saved for a long time! I was even surprised to obtain it so easily, therefore, I absolutely cannot waste it!"

Child, you are not thinking of committing suicide, are you

Even the prices are quite similar

Dong Yeqiang: "Mom, how is this possible?"

Saikyo! Everything is up to you! I, Higashino Keigo, will do my utmost to assist you! We will not only win the Edogawa Rampo Prize, even if I, Higashino Keigo, were to die... Oh, it seems I have already died... But my name can still shine on the literary scene in Japan!

Regarding the specific details of this plan, Higashino Qiang did not mention them, and Higashino Keigo did not inquire either

The pen name is also known as Higashino Keigo
