Chapter 45 Chapter Four

"I'm very sorry for making such a request without authorization." Aoyama bowed his head and apologized as soon as they met in the cafe. "Uh, what's going on?" Atami asked, "I don't quite understand." "Well, as I said on the phone, Mr. Atami, you can play as much as you like." "You mean it's okay if you don't write a mystery novel?" "yes." "Oh...why did you change it again? You said before that you wanted to do a special issue of mystery novels, but there is no one who can write mystery novels in this case, so it is very embarrassing."

"Oh, this..." Qing Shan's face wrinkled into a ball, "Someone came to beg." "Hey? What's going on?" "Actually," Qing Shan pressed his index finger to his lips after speaking, "this will be kept secret." "Yeah." Atami leaned out.It seems that the following is very interesting. "You know Mr. Koichi Omon, right? The one who won the Amakawa Itaro Award a few days ago." "Ah, the one who wrote "The Skin of Deep Sea Fish Breathes", right?" Atami's voice was mixed with displeasure.Regarding this award, Atami has something to say-why not list his own work as a candidate?But now it doesn't matter. "You mean that person came begging?"

"That's right." Qing Shan curled his lips, "The first time I talked to him about publishing a special issue of mystery novels, he said that he wanted to challenge a genre that was completely different from before, but now he called again and said that he really can't... ..." "What kind of challenge does Mr. Dafan want to challenge?" "Oh, that's right..." Aoyama scratched his head. "I understand." Atami snapped his fingers, "Isn't it a tough-guy novel?" "Ah, oops, that..." "I guess right?"

"Well, almost..." "Ah!" Atami opened his mouth wide, "That can't be done! Although I don't know very well, Mr. Dafan has been writing mystery novels, right? That kind of person can't handle tough guy novels, he can't write. This matter You are also responsible, how can you entrust a layman to write some tough-guy novels?" "We will thoroughly reflect on it." Aoyama bowed his head deeply again. "So? Why does it involve me?" "Then I asked Mr. Dafan, 'If that's the case, what kind of mystery novel can you write?', and he replied, 'If you want to write a mystery novel in this case, you can write it now.'"

"Ah." Atami folded his arms slowly, "That is to say, you decided that Mr. Dafan will write the mystery novel of this case, and Atami Keisuke will write the tough guy novel instead of him. Is that the case?" "No, no." Qingshan waved his hand, "It doesn't matter if it's not a tough-guy novel. As I said the first time, you just have to play to your heart's content." "Oh..." Atami poured milk into the coffee cup and stirred it leisurely with a spoon, "Is that so? So there is no need for basic reasoning anymore? That's a pity, I even thought of a lot of ideas."

"Ah, have you already begun to write?" "That's not true, it's just that it's basically conceived. It took a lot of time to prepare for that step. I think it's a great trick. Maybe even the reasoning writer of this case will be surprised after reading it!" After finishing speaking, he drank Take a sip of coffee. "Since you said so," Aoyama looked up at Atami tentatively, "it's okay to write that work..." Atami gasped.He choked on the sudden suggestion. "No, I'd better give up." He replied pretending to be calm, "Since there are other people writing this case, it's not good to repeat factions. I'll still write tough guy novels. Is that okay?"

"Well, of course no problem." "Then it's settled." Atami stood up. After walking out of the cafe and confirming that Aoyama was nowhere to be seen, Atami raised her hands in a triumphant gesture.
