Tokyo bubble life

The following process is similar to the meetings of leaders of other later generations,

One by one, the winners came to the stage to accept the awards, and bowed to the princess in turn,

Then the winners of several important awards delivered acceptance speeches,

Occasionally, several bigwigs from the association will give a speech,

Finally, the curtain call speech by the president of the Children's Literature Association,

It was really stinky and long, and got the essence of "Let me just say a few words\

,"I don't know how the princess and queen of the royal family kept smiling. It's been almost an hour, won't their faces cramp?

Naoki Naoyama looked at some of the writers around him, they were all drowsy, and Ashichi Furuta in the front row even squinted his eyes and nodded his head from time to time, as if he had fallen asleep

Finally, in the voice of the host, the awards ceremony came to an end.

After the royal family also exited, the atmosphere of the remaining people relaxed a lot.

"Naoki-san, the salon is on another floor."

Kuniji Morikawa walked forward with Naoki Nagayama,

"All those who participated in the salon were writers and editors, and there were no media and other staff."

In a slightly smaller hall, there is a bar counter, a dining table, and a circular sofa in the middle. There are about 30 people in it, chatting in twos and threes, and many of them are still eating with red wine in their hands.

"Naoki-san, just find someone to chat with, they are all cultural people~" After finishing speaking, he took a glass of wine, and met some big men in suits and leather shoes to greet him. It is a rare opportunity to expand contacts in a year, yes Still very precious to him.

"This guy, don't you care about me?"

Yongshan Naoki complained that he basically didn't know the people here, who could he chat with, and then his eyes met the food on the table.

Yoho, bread, cakes, steaks, barbecue, fried chicken, sushi, hand rolls, tempura, saury, fried pork cutlets, and wasabi noodles are still Japanese and Western.

I'm already a little hungry. After exercising in the morning, those snacks at noon are completely useless.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Naoki Yongshan took a plate, took some food from each plate, filled the plate full, and then took a bottle of Coke to the dining table in the corner to enjoy it silently.

The steak is very tender, the pork chop is very fragrant, the tempura is very crispy, and the barbecue is also delicious

While eating, Naoki Naoyama felt a gaze from the side looking over,

It was an uncle in his 30s, gentle and shy, and he was alone in the corner next to him,

"It seems that I don't know anyone else~" Naoki Yongshan didn't take it seriously,

But I didn't expect that person to watch it a few more times.

Uncle, what are you doing? Say it first, no appointment!

Naoki Yongshan swallowed the last bun with Coke, and felt the uncle look over again.

Turn your head immediately, →_→ stare! What are you looking at?

That uncle actually lowered his head in embarrassment?

Although Naoki Yongshan is always peeped by strangers now, but most of them are younger sisters or younger sisters,

When a strange man looks at himself, he always feels a little dangerous, so he still needs to confirm it.

Walked up to him and asked, "Excuse me, have we met before?"

The strange man obviously didn't expect someone to be so direct, and said a little flusteredly: "Is it true, Mr. Naoki, it's the first time I see you today."

"Then why?" Naoki Yongshan pointed to his eyes, "It feels like uncle has observed me many times, as if he knows me?"

"Ah, Arnold, that's because I seem to have seen Naoki-san's face on TV."

oh? Isn't it because of Ghost Story? Is that a soda ad?

"Oh? Is it an advertisement related to soda?"

"Ah! Hi! That's the one. My wife wants me to buy several bottles of cherry blossom soda! Sure enough!"

Naoki Yongshan breathed a sigh of relief, it is good to have a wife!

"Hahaha, it turned out to be that one. It was an advertisement a long time ago~ By the way, my image in the advertisement is quite different, and it's amazing to be able to recognize it." In the advertisement, he was dressed as a haggard year.

"Hahaha, I still have a little confidence in my observation ability."

"After talking for so long, I still don't know who you are?"

"Ah, I'm sorry, my name is Haruki Murakami, it's the first time we meet, please give me your advice."

"Haha, my name is Naoki Nagayama and Sang Haruki. Our names are a bit similar. Please help me."

Naoki Yongshan first replied with a smile, and then realized,

"You are Haruki Murakami?!"

Naoki Naoyama was a little confused, he never expected to meet a well-known writer of later generations in a salon!

You must know that the novel "Norwegian Wood" is not an exaggeration to say that it has led an era.

"Naoki-san? Naoki-san?"

Seeing that the young man on the opposite side was distracted, Haruki Murakami yelled twice,

"Ah, I'm sorry, I was a little distracted just now."

"Have you heard my name, Naoki-san?"

"Ah, I've heard of it, so I'm a little surprised."

Naoki Yongshan recalled the fame of this writer in the future, not only he had heard of it, but it was like thunder.

"Haha, like Naoki-san, I also won a newcomer award two weeks ago, the Noma Literature and Art Newcomer Award."

Haruki Murakami estimated that Naoki Naoyama knew himself from this award.

"It's really a coincidence." Yongshan Naoki said, "By the way, why is Haruki-san staying in the corner?"

"Probably because I can't blend in with those people." Looking at the groups in the salon that communicate in twos and threes, "I don't like socializing very much."

Perhaps it was because he had some intersection with Naoki Nagayama unilaterally before that he would say a few more words, and he can be said to be a very introverted person at ordinary times.

"Then why is Naoki-san staying in the corner?"

"Because I'm hungry."

Uh. What kind of weird reason is this? ? ?

"Hahaha, it's good to hide here and eat, the food in the salon is also delicious~"

Naoki Naoyama has recovered from the shock, after all, he has seen many future celebrities in Showa.

"Mainly the acquaintance who brought me here went to chat with someone else, that guy. Then I don't know anyone else here. Oh, now I know one."

"Hahaha, is Naoki-san referring to me?"

"Of course, Haruki-san is the first author I know."

"The first one? Is Naoki-san even more withdrawn than me?"

"It's not that lonely, it's just that I don't like going out very much. I usually like to listen to music and watch TV at home~"

"Ha, it's about the same as me. I read more books."

"Oh? I'm currently watching Osamu Dazai's "No Longer Human", and I feel a little confused."

"I've seen it too."

The conversation between the two actually went on so smoothly,

This is rare for Haruki Murakami,

With an introverted and shy personality, he has few friends and doesn't like to make new friends.

I was told by my family that I am indifferent~

However, although this young man is a bit weird today, he is unexpectedly not annoying.
