Tokyo Girlfriend Illustrated Book

The time was approaching six o'clock, and it was already lunch time, but the restaurants of Tokyo Daiichi Hotel seemed very deserted, because a large number of people were gathering towards the "LA ROSE" lobby on the fifth floor.

The door of the hall is printed with gilt roses, and the dark gold pattern is elegant and gorgeous. As usual, there is a standing sign beside the door, which reads "Neon Mystery Writers Association Award Presentation Site" in bold letters.

Two staff members in suits stood by the door. One was responsible for checking invitations, and the other was responsible for telling guests where to sit. The invitation letter did not indicate the seat, but there were tiny marks on it, so the receptionist could accurately tell the corresponding seat at a glance.

"LA ROSE" is the largest banquet hall in Tokyo Daiichi Hotel, with an overall area of ​​580 square meters. If a buffet is held, it can accommodate 500 people.

The layout of the venue was different from the Honya Awards that Hojo Kyosuke had attended before. Instead of rows of seats like a lecture theater, round tables were arranged neatly, making it look like a wedding scene.

Visitors can enjoy the awards ceremony while eating cold food and drinks, which is indeed a bit more decent than the Main House Awards. However, this is definitely not because the House Awards has no money. There are hundreds of bookstore alliances across the country, as well as the support of the Cultural Promotion Association. There is absolutely no shortage of money, but it is not close to the people.

On the contrary, what the Reasoning Association wants is not to be close to the people but to be stylish. This banquet method passed over from the West has always been their favorite. After all, the attendees are all high-status people. If they are asked to sit in a lecture theater like primary school students, they may not be willing to come next time. Maybe he would also say, "The association is getting worse and worse. The wild kid is really unreliable."

Even those who are lucky enough to get an invitation from the Internet will quietly increase their reputation for the Mystery Association after witnessing the gorgeous scene.

The reporters who crowded in front of the hotel early in the morning were almost clicking their shutters. Writers who often appeared on the best-selling lists came in an endless stream. Not to mention those who often held book signings and lectures. There were many books. The writer who is waiting but doesn't like to show his face, it is impossible to take a photo of him except on days like this.

Presidents of well-known trading companies, heads of cultural-related associations, conquest officials, well-known editors of publishing houses, film directors... and some big stars who would cause screams in other places, but obviously, those stars are here There is really no pomp and circumstance in this kind of occasion. Even if I really wanted this exposure, I had to sneak away obediently after getting off the car and not block the way of the big writers. Otherwise, next time the People's Association will directly say that actors are not allowed to participate.

On the other side, Hojo Kyosuke also walked into the venue with his relatives.

"It's so big." Miyamizu Yotsuba exclaimed.

"If you sit at the back, you shouldn't be able to see the award podium, right?" Xiangye asked worriedly.

"It doesn't matter! I've already prepared a telescope!" Sachiko took out a monocular telescope from her messenger bag.

"Si Guoyi, you are worthy of being named Sachiko. I announce that you have become a full-time employee ahead of schedule!" Yotsuba praised him.

The venue is nearly 600 square meters. If there is nothing inside, a person will feel scared when standing in it. Fortunately, it was already filled with tables. The huge round table spread from the front of the award podium to the door. Yotsuba and her friends even subconsciously stood on tiptoe to see the end.

Nishimiya Yuzuru on the side raised his camera and started taking pictures. After taking an overview of the venue, he ran to the front of the crowd and called for everyone to take a group photo.

"Idiot, our seats are in the front, so we don't need telescopes!"

Mitsuha Miyamizu punched her sister on the head. Looking at Ni-chan's sister, and then at his own sister, she felt disgusted no matter how much she looked at her.

"You are the idiot, so what if you sit in the front? Can't I use a telescope to look behind me? There is no uphill or downhill road in life, and you can't just look forward either."

Siye immediately began to retort angrily, and her tone became more serious as she spoke:

"If you don't learn to look back on the past, you will never grow up. Do you understand, Miyamizu Mitsuha!"

Um? ?

Sanye's eyes widened, confused for a moment, and asked stupidly:

"Where did you learn this from?"

After Siye finished speaking, she was a little confused:

"It seems that Brother Kyousuke told me? Probably...although I don't remember when he said it."

The two sisters found their positions while bickering, and stood in a huddle with everyone, ready to take pictures.

"Family photo~"

Yamauchi Sakura didn't move her mouth, and whispered with a mischievous smile.

"..."

Hojo Kyousuke just smiled but did not refute, but he was a little excited in his heart, feeling that Yuzuru was really a considerate little cotton jacket. Apart from this opportunity, he really didn't know how to get so many people together to take a group photo. The girls may still have a chance, but it is absolutely impossible for the father-in-law and mother-in-law to cooperate.

Just out of the corner of his vision, he clearly saw the stiff smiling face of Toshiki Miyamizu standing side by side with Mr. Spencer. I also saw Mrs. Yukinoshita’s unnatural smile surrounded by her two daughters.

Hahaha...I am really guilty.

Standing in the middle, Hojo Kyosuke, whose mother held his arm, was laughing wildly in his heart.

Of course the last person taking the photo couldn't be Yuzuru, she is also an indispensable member of this family! Like Mitsuha Miyamizu, after Yuzuru contributed to the family portrait incident, her status in Hojo Kyosuke's heart instantly surpassed Yotsuba by a large margin.

Boy, I will never help you push your bike uphill again! Feel the differences in life, it is necessary for growth!

As for the person who took the photo? Of course it’s Onitsuka Eikichi. How come there are so few members of Rampage Angel in this kind of occasion? How come the group of relatives and friends we agreed on can only have relatives and no friends. Even ordinary member Hojo Kyosuke can deliver takeaways, let alone these close friends. Maki Kyousuke, the Oni Baku duo, and several loyal subordinates from the class were all called to the scene. So before, someone in the class group called Hata Goro and several others, but no one responded.

With the sound of "cheese", different smiling faces were left on the film.

Of course it was film. Onizuka bought it at a large price from a second-hand store.

Several parents just breathed a sigh of relief when they heard their daughters cheering, "One more, one more," and the footsteps that were about to disperse couldn't help but stop.

Of course Glass knew her mother's discomfort, but she also knew how rare the opportunity was for everyone to get together and take photos like this.

Kasumigaoka also knew what such a photo meant to her parents, but she felt strange in her heart. She never thought that her family would have the opportunity to take a photo with Eiri's family.

Eiriri squeezed Shiyu Kasumigaoka who came inexplicably next to her with disgust, thinking that fat people just dissipate more heat, it was really hot, and then she smiled even more happily.

…

Even without Kyosuke's presence, they are still very good friends.

The parents' stance and the subsequent battle were put aside for the time being, and the girls each laughed and held hands.

Sakura smiled and pulled Yukino Mokari and Okudera Miki, who had been standing in the corner, into the middle, and Hojo Kyosuke pulled the unknown Megumi into the middle.

Hojo Mikiko let go of her son's arm, holding Mrs. Yamauchi on the left and Miss Nishimiya on the right, leading the mothers to step back in a row, and the fathers did the same.

So the current position changed to Hojo Kyousuke standing in the front and middle, behind him were the smiling girls, and behind him were the mother-in-law and father-in-law.

Looking at the boss who looked like an ordinary person in a neat suit, and the incomparable girls behind him who were as beautiful as flowers, Onizuka Eikichi suddenly wanted to smash his beloved camera and take pictures.

If I take a photo like this, my camera will become the same length, right?

Jealousy, jealousy to the point of a million.

Similarly, Danma Ryuji, Maki Kyosuke and others next to him looked at the Hojo Kyosuke family in front of them with hatred. In the end, the clever Kisaki Tetsuta came up with a solution. He trotted to the door, carried back the sign that read "Neon Mystery Writers Association Award Presentation Site," and placed it on the edge of the crowd, signaling that Not a family photo, but a commemorative group photo of the conference.

Onizuka Eikichi nodded with satisfaction and successfully realized self-deception.

Another "cheese", and this time everyone's smile was brighter. Especially the one in the middle, Hojo Kyousuke, whose big eyes turned into slits when he smiled.

In the end, the "Neon Mystery Writers Association Awards Presentation Site" did not appear in the photo, and was kicked away by Yukinoshita Harano. In the photo, she was lying on her sister's shoulders, her big breasts squeezed flat.

People took pictures not at the main entrance, but at the lobby. There were already a lot of empty spaces here, probably for cameras and service staff, so it was very spacious, and even if there were dozens of people standing there they would not be conspicuous. There are many people standing here chatting now, and when they saw Hojo Kyosuke and the others wanted to take a photo, they moved their seats in a friendly manner.

"Oh oh oh! Hojo-sensei really brought all the friends and relatives here!"

A girl who walked into the hall with a worried face immediately exclaimed when she saw Hojo Kyosuke.

"Haha, Mr. Hojo is like this. Didn't you see last night's show? He took a photo with other fans by the Kamogawa River in Kyoto."

The boy who walked in with the girl smiled. The two of them were the lucky spectators who got the invitation letter from the website. They were very nervous when they came to such an occasion for the first time, but they didn't expect to see Hojo Kyousuke's sexy moves as soon as they came in.

Other writers, teachers and celebrities from all walks of life were all standing there chatting in suits and ties. Only he and his relatives were there taking photos like they were checking in for a trip. This sense of relaxation was really enviable.

Like them, there were many people who came in with lucky invitations. Before everyone came, they had been struggling in their hearts: how to ask their favorite writers to take a photo, how to talk to them, what kind of honorifics to use, and what time was appropriate. ? I was struggling until the awards ceremony started, but as soon as I entered the door, I saw a happy Hojo Kyosuke taking a photo.

"Hojo-sensei is really... very relaxed."

Himeno Kiyoko said in a daze that she was not a lucky audience. With the strength of the Himeno family, they should have been sincerely invited by the Mystery Writers Association. However, sending a letter was not enough and the president of the association had to call in person to invite.

"Yes, compared to those people whose faces are tense and whose nervousness can be seen at a glance, Mr. Hojo's mentality is really good." Arisugawa Ren agreed.

The two of them kept praising their dear teacher Hojo, but as if they had lost their memory, they ignored the fact that the author would definitely know the results of the selection in advance, and attributed Hojo Kyosuke's relaxation to his confidence. Then they said goodbye to their elders, stood beside the other lucky audiences, and waited for Hojo Kyosuke and others to take a group photo.

Finally, the group photo was taken, and just when Onitsuka was thinking about whether to pretend that the film was damaged, a hand had reached out and snatched the camera away.

"What are you doing, Xisaki." He yelled.

"Send it for expedited development and send it to my brother and sister-in-law before the end of the award ceremony."

Xisaki took out the film expressionlessly and stuffed a new digital camera into Onitsuka's hand:

"Next, you use this to take pictures for my brother, and the photos must be transmitted in time. I will use them for publicity."

While the two were talking, the members of the Hojo Kyosuke family portrait had dispersed. One table could not accommodate so many people, but fortunately, except for a few people, everyone had their own invitation letters, and they were basically in the front seats. People like Hui and Naoko just need to sit with the Hojo couple.

The girls walked to the front of the hall, but this corner did not become deserted. More people who saw Hojo Kyosuke came over. Some were literary colleagues who wanted to talk to him, and some were lucky fans who wanted to take photos with him. Instead, it became more lively than before.

But at this time, several people came in and looked at Hojo Kyosuke with very unfriendly eyes.

"The younger generation nowadays really don't know etiquette at all, and they always do embarrassing things."

Critic Matsumoto Motohiro said.

"Yes, there are so many seniors here, what is he trying to do, and he wants to instigate fans to march and attack the association like before?" Nishizawa Yang said bitterly.

"Mr. Nishizawa, young people nowadays pay attention to individuality, and it is understandable that they ignore some traditional culture."

The star Shenmu Guang said with a smile. It is indeed not unreasonable for this person to become a big star. His hair dyed golden is very elegant. Although his face is not as handsome as Hojo Kyosuke, it can make everyone who sees him feel good.

"Alas, so the future of Neon depends on young people like you, Shenmu-kun." Nishizawa sighed, and then quickly made way for someone behind him.

"Tsuruta-sensei, please come in."

Tsuruta Masajo, who is over sixty years old and has gray hair, is not tall, about the same height as Nishizawa, wearing a black kimono with two white belts hanging in front of him, looking very formal. (End of this chapter)
