Chapter 13: Chapter 12 Yukinoshita Haruno is curious
Chiba City The Snow House
The Yukinoshita family is one of the traditional wealthy families in Chiba Prefecture. Japan's wealthy families have always pursued influence in both the political and business circles, and the Yukinoshita family is no exception.
The current representative of the Yukinoshita family is Mr. Yukinoshita, who is one of the Chiba Country Councilors. However, he is the son-in-law of the Yukinoshita family. For this reason, in the eyes of many outsiders, the actual helmsman of the Yukinoshita family should be Mrs. Yukinoshita, who manages the existing industries of the Yukinoshita family.
This is indeed the case . Mrs. Yukinoshita's control over the entire family is unparalleled. She has almost all the characteristics that outsiders have in the stereotype of the hostess of a wealthy Japanese family: wearing a kimono, having a cold temperament, being decisive, and being intimidating without anger.
Mrs. Yukinoshita and Mr. Yukinoshita story is like a fairy tale: a delinquent boy from an ordinary family who skipped classes to smoke and play mahjong all day, while his girlfriend was a lady from a wealthy local family. Under the supervision and discipline of his strict girlfriend, Mr. Yukinoshita finally turned over a new leaf and even quit smoking. He was eventually recognized by the former head of the Yukinoshita family and officially became a son-in-law.
However, Mrs. Yukinoshita, who had experienced a beautiful love story, would never allow her two daughters to love freely and bravely like her. People always become what they hate the most. When Mrs. Yukinoshita became a superior and had to consider the interests of the Yukinoshita family, she had to admit that the political marriage that she once hated the most was indeed the best way to maintain the prosperity of the Yukinoshita family.
Both of her daughters inherited her excellent looks. The younger daughter, Yukinoshita Yukino, has a cold personality and is currently studying abroad, so we will not talk about her for now. The older daughter, Yukinoshita Haruno, is a sophomore at Chiba City Sobu High School. She grew up under the strict guidance of her mother and is very respectful of Mrs. Yukinoshita. At the age of 17 , she has already begun to work hard to improve herself in order to become the new head of the Yukinoshita family in the future.
Mrs. Yukinoshita is strict in raising her daughters, she does not restrict Yukino and Haruno from freely developing interests that are beneficial to their bodies and minds. Reading is the most basic one, and the Yukinoshita family has the habit of reading for a long time. Every day, a wide variety of newspapers are delivered to the mailbox in front of Yukinoshita's house, and various weekly and monthly magazines also arrive on time.
Yukinoshita Haruno is not a loyal reader of any of these magazines. She just likes to read widely. She subscribes to everything from Weekly Shonen Jump , a popular comic magazine among teenagers, to Literary World, a serious literary magazine. On a brand new Monday morning, after saying goodbye to her parents and preparing to go to school, Haruno casually took out the November issue of All Readings that had just been delivered today from the mailbox, intending to flip through it for a while while the driver was taking her to school.
" By the way, the works of All Reading's Newcomer Award are published in this issue. "
Haruno looked at the promotion on the cover and turned directly to the newcomer appreciation column.
" The 15- year-old genius writer Hachiman suddenly appeared! He broke the minimum age of the new writer in one fell swoop! " " The award-winning work received unanimous praise from the five judges !" " Mystery novel giant Arisugawa praised Hachiman: This is the future of Japanese mystery novels! " ...
Haruno was a little confused by the slogans in large bold fonts. In her opinion, as a popular literature magazine, " all reading" rarely carries out such exaggerated publicity like light novels and comic magazines.
" fifteen years old " shocked Haruno. Fifteen years old means the second or third year of junior high school, the same age as her beloved sister Yukino. But this " Hachiman " has already won the " All Readings" Newcomer Award and has also received unanimous praise from these literary masters.
" All Readings" magazine is exaggerated, most of them are the original words of the judges of the Newcomer Award. These well-known writers in Japan would not go against their conscience to deliberately exaggerate the publicity. Haruno felt more and more that this year's winning works must be extraordinary, but at this time the car had arrived at the school gate. Haruno put the magazine into her schoolbag and got off the car. She is the student council president of Sobu High School. If someone sees her carrying magazines into the school, it will not have a good impact.
" I will be very busy today. I hope I can have time to read this "Confession". "
Looking at the several student union cadres walking towards her, Haruno sighed .
It was noon, and Haruno always used the student union office as her lunch break, but no one objected. She decided to use this undisturbed time to read well.
" Confessions" Chapter 1 Clergy There are many cases in this world where people have completely different views on the same thing due to different perspectives. "
This is the first sentence that caught Haruno's eyes. It is a very simple and plain truth. The content of this novel may be a specific presentation of this sentence. This is what she thinks.
Time always goes by quickly when you are reading. About forty minutes passed and Haruno raised her head with a complicated expression on her face.
" This Hachiman is so amazing ..."
Haruno was so shocked that she was at a loss for words. Whether it was the shocking foreshadowing that Moriguchi mentioned shortly before the beginning that his lover had AIDS, or the incisive analysis of social phenomena such as the causes of juvenile delinquency and the misleading guidance of the media, all of these reflected the author's strong writing skills.
She believed that the magazine would not create false gimmicks, but because of this, she wanted to know more about this talented writer who was the same age as her sister. She didn't know what exactly she wanted to know about Mr. Hachiman, but she was driven by an inexplicable desire.
For ordinary readers, if they want to know about the writer, they can only get some public information. However, Haruno is not an ordinary reader, and the Yukinoshita family is not an ordinary family. She believes that she can always find a way.
" The editor of All Magazine? I don't think I know him, but I have a classmate from Bungeishunju Publishing House, and he might know something. "
At the Yukinoshita family's house in the evening, Mr. Yukinoshita spoke thoughtfully after learning about his eldest daughter's request.
Mr. Yukinoshita did not ask why Haruno wanted to know about a junior high school writer. He believed that she would not do anything out of line.
" I did ask, Haruno, my friend said that the publishing house keeps the specific information about Mr. Hachiman confidential. But his colleague went to sign a contract with Mr. Hachiman last week, and the place of business trip was in Chiba City. "
