Chapter 802 This is my Kyousuke, my pride
"It's Hojo Kyousuke!!"
A cry of surprise was heard, and one of the people who had just surrounded Shanshan opened his mouth in surprise.
Then, without saying a word to his companions, he immediately turned around and ran to his car, stuck his upper body through the car window, and the next second he came out with a huge comic magazine.
"Teacher Hojo! I'm your biggest fan, please sign an autograph for me!"
The man rushed to Hojo Kyosuke in two steps, and with excitement on his face, he held the comic magazine in his hands and handed it to his favorite writer.
The chill on someone's face melted away naturally like a spring breeze, and he said happily:
"No problem at all."
While speaking, his right hand had already reached into his left sleeve and pulled out a pen.
"What's your name, please? Do you need to write a greeting?"
Hojo Kyosuke asked with great professionalism.
Listening to the voice so close to him and looking at the approachable smile of Mr. Hojo, Suzuki Shunya's body was shaking with excitement. He quickly turned over the cover of the magazine and said excitedly:
"But, if possible, please write 'To Suzuki Aoi, wishing Aoi good health', please, Mr. Hojo!"
As he spoke, he forgot that he was holding the book in his hand and just bowed 90 degrees.
"This is a very nice blessing. I also like to wish my friends good health when I give them gifts."
Hojo Kyosuke praised, and then casually asked, "Is Aoi-chan your sister?"
Suzuki Shunya nodded vigorously and said:
"Yes, Aoi has had poor health since she was a child. She spends most of the year lying in bed. Reading the comics updated by Hojo-sensei every week is her happiest time."
The man had tears in his eyes when he spoke:
"She wanted to attend Hojo Sensei's book signing event, but unfortunately she was always hospitalized. Aoi didn't want us to go on her behalf, as she felt that it was disrespectful and not pious enough to Hojo Sensei. But it's different now. I'm lucky enough to meet Hojo Sensei. Aoi will definitely be very happy to hear that!"
After hearing this, Hojo Kyosuke even slowed down his writing.
He looked up at the man in front of him, an ordinary passerby face, wearing a pair of black-framed glasses, classic Japanese-style bangs, shockingly thick hair, and simple casual clothes. He was not as "cool" as the people next to him, and did not look like a speed racer at all. Instead, he looked like a good brother who would sit beside his sister in the hospital bed and chat with her in a low voice at any time.
After finishing writing the last word, he closed the pen cap and said calmly: "You should have contacted the magazine earlier, so I can go directly to the hospital to see Aoi-chan."
"Eh!?"
Suzuki Shunya widened his eyes and said in disbelief:
"Really, is it really possible? I mean, haven't you ever attended other events, Hojo-sensei?"
More than three years ago, Hojo Kyosuke has been in the news since his debut. Military Xisaki led a large army of network workers to flood major network platforms, cruelly engraving the name "Hojo Kyosuke" into people's minds. His labels are constantly changing, from the beginning "super handsome, the umbrella of Tokyo's most violent and bad Bunkyo District", to the "talented junior high school manga artist" after his fame, and then to the "new generation's strongest mystery novelist", "Heisei style", "the youngest literary giant", "the sword emperor who dominates the country" after the first light novel and mystery novel came out...
Tetsuta Kisaki and his invincible online army can always find new titles to praise their BOSS, and can always use Hojo Kyosuke's various talents to attract people's attention and create wave of heat.
Every time he posted a notice on his personal website, the corresponding event would become popular. For example, the first autograph session was held at Kinokuniya's Shinjuku main store. The queue was several hundred meters long. The people originally arranged to maintain order were not enough. In the end, patrol officers from the Shinjuku Police Station came to help. Someone also had to guard the advertising sign for the autograph session, for fear that it would be stolen by fanatical female fans, because it had a photo of Hojo Kyosuke himself printed on it.
Later, as long as there was an advance notice of the event, many fans would even start queuing up the night before. Some people on the Internet complained that it was like the otaku holy war, so now Hojo Kyosuke's book signing event can no longer be registered as a normal book signing event, but is required to apply for a large-scale gathering.
But even with the explosion of popularity, the lazy guy Hojo Kyosuke still did not attend too many events. He only attended book signings invited by magazines and bookstores with good relationships, and participated in a few TV shows... and that was it. He basically did not participate in commercial activities, that is, general announcements.
In simple terms, his exposure is totally inconsistent with his popularity, which makes the group that follows him always hungry. However, since every time fans catch him in the wild, they can get a small autograph session, no one thinks that he doesn't care about fans and readers. Everyone knows that this guy is just lazy. And when facing fans, he will burst out with patience and pampering that shocks everyone.
He treats all fans and staff to meals at the book signing event, brings along posters and photos when catching animals in the wild, and produces free spin-offs... Even professional idols and stars can't do as much as he does. Compared to the pitifully small number of activities he has, it's a complete complex of contradictions.
That's why Suzuki Shunya was so excited at this moment. His family was not short of money, and his sick sister was loved and cherished by the whole family. It was completely possible to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to invite Hojo teacher to see his sister and fulfill her wish. The only problem was that Hojo Kyosuke had never done anything like this before, and...
"…We also talked to Aoi, and even suggested taking her to block the door at your school, Mr. Hojo, but she refused and angrily told us that she would be very angry if we did such a thing!"
Suzuki Shunya couldn't help laughing when he said this:
"Actually, Aoi is not angry at all, if the way she covers her head with the quilt counts."
"That's totally cute!"
Ying Lili, who had been listening for a long time, couldn't help but speak.
"That's right, Aoi is simply the cutest sister in the world!"
Suzuki Shunya looked at Eriri with an approving look as if to say "you understand a lot", and the latter immediately felt unhappy because she was obviously the cutest.
But this dissatisfaction only lasted for 0.01 seconds and then disappeared. What does it matter to Eriri that the nameless passerby called her the cutest? She just needs to do what Kyosuke wants her to do! As long as she is angry and covers her head with the quilt, someone will sit on the bed and make her laugh! Let others say who is cute!
What a pity that my dear Hikigaya-kun is not here, otherwise you would have a lot of common topics with him and maybe you could have a good fight.
Hojo Kyosuke felt amused, he also thought that Prince Ka-chan was the cutest sister in the world.
Think about it, what little girl would spend the whole day with her friend because she was afraid that she would be too lonely when she died? What little girl would not only plant seeds in the ground after a bird pooped on her face, but also think of building a house in the tree for the bird and Sister Yingliang to live in? What little girl...
In short, I, Hojo Kyosuke, may not be the best brother in the world, but Kashiko is the cutest sister in the world.
Thinking of the little one who might be sleeping at this moment, the smile on Hojo Kyosuke's face softened a lot, and he said softly:
"If my editors heard there was a fan like Aoi-chan, they would definitely persuade me to meet her because it would be great publicity."
Upon hearing this, Suzuki Shunya's expression immediately froze. He obviously couldn't accept that his sister's pure admiration had turned into a dirty deal between adults. Even Eriri turned her head and looked at him in confusion. What's wrong with stupid chores? He refused to promote his new work even on the day of its release. It was impossible for him to do such a mercenary thing.
At this time, Hojo Kyosuke chuckled again:
"But as everyone knows, I'm a lazy guy, and I try not to do things like publicity if I can, so maybe I can invite Aoi to visit my studio when she has time."
The studio he was talking about was naturally "Carbonate". Although in fact he completed almost all of his comics work in Ruyi Liao, compared to his home, the animation company in Suginami Ward, the animation mecca, would be more in line with fans' imagination.
Imagine a little girl who lies in bed all day, wandering in a fantasy world with comics. In her imagination, where would so many of her favorite works be created?
A three-story, 400-square-meter luxury villa filled with beautiful girls? Or a studio surrounded by well-known animation production companies, with comic posters and drafts on the walls and many staff members who are obviously comic practitioners?
Uh... well, the former is actually more fantasy-like. But Hojo Kyosuke doesn't want to destroy his glorious image in the hearts of his lovely readers. He might be "the teacher who brings love and hope to people" one second, and "the useless guy who only knows how to indulge in beautiful girls all day long" the next.
"I'll let Aoi sit in my work chair and teach her to draw some simple comics. I'll let her see the things I drew at the beginning. I think that should be very interesting."
he said with a smile.
Suzuki Shunya immediately shouted:
"Oh! I know, I know. Cockroach Man, right? Aoi showed it to us and laughed so hard that she went straight to the emergency room. After the anesthesia wore off, she happily told us that Hojo-sensei is indeed the best cartoonist in the world. He has such a poor talent but has accomplished such a great miracle through hard work!"
At this point, the man looked at Hojo Kyosuke with gratitude and bowed vigorously: "Aoi's treatment was very hard. Our whole family is very grateful to you, Mr. Hojo, for making her so happy."
Hojo Kyosuke said with emotion: "Although I feel a little ashamed, I must say that this is the power of literature. Comics, novels, animations... can really bring strength to people."
"..."
Ying Lili frowned slightly and looked at someone with the expression of an old man looking at his phone on the subway.
Hard work? Obviously, they are the ones who really work hard, okay? This pair of eyes wearing contact lenses is the best proof.
"That's right. At first, Aoi also wanted to train like Sensei Saitama. She said, she said, 'As long as I work hard, I may not be as strong as Saitama, but at least I can make my parents and brother less hard-working.' Woohoo... Aoi is so well-behaved and pitiful——"
Suzuki Shun also cried generously:
"But her body couldn't support the exercise at all. Fortunately, the news later reported about a junior high school student who imitated Hojo's chivalrous spirit but was beaten and sent to the hospital. Aoi gave up the idea."
Hey, did you hear that, Hikigaya-kun? Your contribution is not meaningless. Besides bringing laughter to others, it can also make a girl in a hospital bed give up her crazy idea. You are a great person.
Hojo Kyosuke comforted him a few words, and then the two of them hurriedly discussed inviting Suzuki Aoi to visit the studio. But there was actually nothing to discuss, after all, someone was really free, and as long as Aoi's physical condition allowed, he could skip class at any time.
Eriri also actively participated. According to her, as long as Aoi saw such a gorgeous girl like her, she would be very excited about the future and become very energetic and work hard on the treatment.
This narcissistic statement was unanimously affirmed by everyone. If it were an ordinary patient, seeing such a dazzling Eriri and then looking at his own frail self, he would probably feel sorry for himself and get angry. But from the few words just now, everyone has already known that Aoi is an optimistic and kind girl, and her eyes can see light and hope.
Finally, Eriri used her mobile phone to shoot a video for Suzuki Shunya and Hojo Kyosuke. The latter thanked Aoi for her support and personally invited them to visit the studio.
Watching the video on his phone, Suzuki Shunya smiled like a fool. What he was worried about now was whether his sister would be too happy and excited and go to the emergency room again.
Standing silently behind the crowd, Yukinoshita Yukino watched all this quietly, with some emotion flashing in her light blue eyes.
"Is this the world you want to see, Yukino?"
Yang No's voice sounded:
“Excellent people spread their light around them and help others within a reasonable scope. Excellent people and others coexist perfectly. A world where no one has to work hard?”
The black-haired girl's thin lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to laugh or speak. In the end, she just pursed her lips tightly, and a figure was clearly reflected in her light blue eyes.
"Hey! Asshole! Don't treat me like air!"
An angry voice shattered the warmth in the air. (End of this chapter)
