Chapter 595 Kato Megumi: I am in pain knowing too much
Fuji TV was not polite and invited Motohiro Matsumoto and a group of experts to the show. The two sides quarreled in the air, and the cyber warriors fought hard at the electromagnetic wave level.
Newspaper sales and television ratings on both sides continued to rise. Fuji TV even sent a special manager to contact Hojo Kyosuke, offering a high price to invite him to the show, and promised to help him promote his new book and actively contact him if his work wanted to be adapted into a film or TV series.
In this regard, Hojo Kyosuke politely asked the people from TV Asahi, but he didn't expect that they didn't care at all and enthusiastically helped him raise the price. As for the reason——
"If you, Hojo-san, stay with us, Fuji TV will soon be unwatched. Ratings will only be high if we are evenly matched."
That's how it was. Hojo Kyosuke came to the studio in Fuji TV's special car. The host made no secret of his hostility. Of course, it might also be a program effect. He invited three well-known sociology research experts and two veterans of the reasoning association. The three of them, together with Matsumoto Motohiro, besieged Hojo Kyosuke.
The director was very good at creating program effects, and when the experts were cursing enthusiastically, a sword suddenly fell from the sky. A samurai sword was dropped from the top of the studio with a steel wire rope and landed in front of Hojo Kyosuke. The host then introduced Hojo Kyosuke's teachers and kendo competition results to the audience in an extremely exaggerated manner.
When he saw Hojo Kyosuke holding the scabbard and pushing away the sword guard, looking at him with his peach blossom eyes, even though he knew it was a show effect, Matsumoto Motohiro still couldn't help but slide under the table in fear.
It was at this moment that he understood why the two judges who were supposed to be his allies, Kurokawa Toyomasa and Naganuma Hiroki, looked at him with sympathetic expressions when he invited them.
I don’t know if the three experts who frequently appear on the show were really good at creating show effects or were really scared, but they jumped up and ran behind the host to hide.
Hojo Kyosuke first glanced at the people opposite who were talking excitedly, and then looked at the knife in his hand.
Well, it is real metal, but the blade is round enough to be used for scraping.
I looked at the host again. This show had not been told to me in advance, so it was tantamount to bullying the guests.
Pushing the scabbard back, a silver light suddenly appeared. Although it was just a showpiece, this knife was really beautiful. The cloud-like blade pattern, the blade was so shiny that you could see through it, and the decorations on the scabbard and handle were extremely luxurious.
The host over there pretended to protect the three people behind him, while looking at Hojo Kyosuke nervously, and loudly introduced the origin of the sword, saying that it was a sword used by a famous general in ancient times to slay demons, blah blah.
Hojo Kyosuke understood and realized that it was a prop used for filming TV dramas.
He waved it casually, and although it looked nice, the knife was made of lighter metal considering the actor's physical fitness.
The host over there is still acting:
"How is it, Hojo-san? Is it a good sword? Please let me go after killing the others, as I offered you the precious sword. This show cannot do without me. If I can't be seen on TV next week, all the beauties in the country will be sad and cry..."
As he spoke, he squeezed out a few tears.
Hojo Kyosuke nodded:
“It’s a really good knife.”
He stood up and said, "No matter what the quality is, it is always better to have a weapon than to be empty-handed. This is the life motto of a certain death-fearing fighter. Even a handful of sand is better than being empty-handed!"
The host wanted to say something when he saw Hojo Kyosuke suddenly raise his knife. The mirror-polished blade shone brightly under the lights in the studio.
Then, there was a flash of silver light, and Hojo Kyosuke swung his sword fiercely.
Bang——Boom——
The table in front of him was suddenly split in half, and the nameplates, water cups and other things on it were scattered all over the floor in a mess.
"As expected, it's a sword that can slay demons. It's really a good sword."
Hojo Kyosuke raised his eyebrows and looked at the host over there. The blade turned, and a dazzling light flew straight into the host's eyes.
The host, who was about to get mad, suddenly felt a chill all over his body, and did not come back to his senses until the director shouted several times in the headset. Then he strode towards the table that was split in half with exaggerated exclamation, kept shouting "Si Guoyi" in his mouth, and then signaled the camera to close up, showing the smooth cut surface of the table.
Those who watched the show could hear an exclamation at this time: "Masaka! Can the demon-slaying blade handed down from the Warring States period actually cut through a solid wood table?"
At the scene, the three experts squatted in front of the tattered table, marveling at it.
Looking at the three necks exposed defenselessly in front of him, Hojo Kyosuke tried hard to suppress his arms from moving.
Demon! The demon in my arm is about to break free! .
But Matsumoto Motohiro, who had slipped under the table, couldn't hold back any longer. Was that bastard Hojo Kyousuke trying to tell him that he could cut him in two even if he hid under the table! ?
The old guy jumped up and without caring about his professional ethics, he directly questioned what the host was doing and why he actually provided weapons to Hojo Kyosuke.
The host over there made an embarrassed expression to the camera and said:
"Hojo-san, can you show me the sword in your hand?"
Hojo Kyosuke was naturally happy to do so. He showed the round blade to the audience and slid his palm back and forth on it twice.
wow——
The audience below did not need the stage manager to direct the atmosphere, and they all exclaimed and applauded. They were all amazed at Hojo Kyosuke's divine swordsmanship. How could a blunt knife make such a smooth cut? How did he do that?
Everyone else was surprised, but Matsumoto Motohiro was frightened. If a guy like Hojo Kyosuke could cut the table in half with such a blunt knife, then wouldn't someone like him be killed with just a single blow?
At this time, a veteran of the mystery association questioned that the table might be a prop of the program team and was sawed in half in advance. As expected of a mystery novelist, he knows about murder props.
Seeing this, the director on the sidelines keenly discovered the interesting point and immediately gave instructions to the host through the headset. The host then came to the judge and asked him to carefully check the table in front of him, and invited two audience members to check it together. After everyone was sure that there was absolutely no problem with the table, the host climbed up and jumped hard a few times.
"Hojo-san, could you please show me that move again? It should be a very powerful name, right? It looks very gorgeous, like moonlight and a pool of water, Masaka! Could it be the secret move of Hokushin Ittoryu, "Water Jade Slash"! ?"
The host made a gesture like digging the ground.
Hojo Kyosuke was a little surprised to hear the word "Water Jade". This is indeed the secret of the Hokushin Ittoryu Longdao Weaponry. In addition to "Water Jade", there are also secrets such as "Black Dragon", "Komareki", "Three Moons", "Kusaori Fall", "Big Clouds", "Nine Glory Swords", etc. Some of them can be heard as techniques, and some like "Water Jade" and "Black Dragon" are purely abstract.
"It's not the 'Water Jade'. I'm not yet at the stage where I can be taught such skills. This is just an ordinary slash." Hojo Kyosuke explained with a smile. Those secrets were one of the reasons why Yamamura Ono Shihan had always wanted him to join the main family, but...
“Is this true? An ordinary slash is so powerful. If it’s the real secret, wouldn’t it be able to cut down an airplane?” The host widened his eyes.
Yes, unless those secrets really have supernatural powers, Hojo Kyosuke doesn’t think they are stronger than himself.
The two men chatted for a while and then walked to the table of the elders of the Retirement Interest Association. Without waiting for the elders to say anything harsh, Hojo Kyosuke swung his sword and chopped him down.
Bang——Boom——
Under the elder's incredulous gaze, the table he had checked countless times just now was cut in half, and the cut was so smooth that there was not a single burr.
"How did you do it?!" the elder asked loudly in disbelief. It was easier than cutting tofu.
"Well..." Hojo Kyosuke hesitated.
"I know, I know. It's speed, right? Speed equals strength. Everyone knows about water cutting, right? As long as the speed is fast enough, even water can cut steel, not to mention the Demon Slayer Blade. Don't you know that Hojo-san is a man known as the "Hope of Neon Kendo"? This kind of thing is a piece of cake for him!"
The host talked a lot and almost mentioned quantum mechanics. No, after being questioned twice, he decisively brought up quantum mechanics, saying that you are a mystery writer, you should study the murder knives carefully, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand science.
Hojo Kyosuke nodded as he listened.
The theme of the program then shifted. The host, instructed by the director, dragged Hojo Kyosuke around the studio to cause damage. They chopped down the tables and then the chairs, and then the teleprompter. If the camera wasn't the god of the TV station, they would have wanted to lift up the camera and have Hojo chop it down.
Kato Megumi, who was sitting in the living room with her parents, couldn't help but sigh when she felt her cell phone vibrate. She picked up the phone and saw the words "Kato Keiichi" displayed on the screen as expected.
After looking at the man wielding a knife on the TV screen, Hui's good mood was swept away. With a bitter face, she answered the phone. She didn't dare not answer it. She was sitting with her parents at the moment. If she didn't answer it, Keiichi would definitely call her mother or father immediately, and then she would not only be tortured by Keiichi, but also be criticized.
"Moxi Moxi..."
"Xiao Hui! Did you see it? Did you see it?!"
"I saw it, I saw it." Hui answered weakly.
"I mean, have you seen Hojo-san? Fuji TV! Go watch it quickly. If you haven't seen it, I'll send you the video later."
forgive me……
The girl closed her eyes, and a rare trace of pain appeared on her calm little face. At the same time, she secretly felt a little resentful towards someone in her heart.
It's no wonder that at the next Kato family gathering, Keiichi's reserved program will be playing today's program. Originally, Keiichi's excitement was slightly reduced because Hojo took him to participate in the training camp. Kei was very confident that he could convince him not to play the video of Hojo chopping bamboo mats. Now...
Ah——really——
Why did Hojo-kun go on the show again when he had nothing to do? Why didn’t he bring Keiichi along as a demonstration prop?
"Hey~ Hey~~ I've recorded it myself, I'll watch it carefully later~"
Hui tried to keep her tone calm. If she showed impatience, Keiichi would teach her a lesson as the best child of the Kato family. See, this is the benefit of speaking calmly. No one will care.
After saying this, the girl put her phone aside without hanging up, allowing Kato Keiichi to continue chattering on about his admiration for Hojo-kun. She continued watching TV silently, watching Hojo-kun trying hard to advertise his new work in between chopping.
Speaking of the new book, Kato Megumi's eyes drifted to the side. On the coffee table in the living room, there was a book with a blue and white cover, which was "The Dream and Death of Writer K".
It was sent by Hojo-kun the day before yesterday. At ten o'clock in the evening, he was cold and busy, but he stood at the door of his house with a gentle smile and handed it to me personally, and asked for my advice.
Any advice?
The clever girl calmly said several words on the spot, "Siguoyi~~"
It is really amazing. All the classmates in the class are discussing this book. Even Eriri, the illustrator, has become a hot topic in the media. The art club in the school is interviewing new people after school these days. Both boys and girls want to get some guidance from Miss Sawamura. It would be even better if they could sit aside and watch Miss Sawamura drawing quietly.
It must be as beautiful as a fairy tale, a quiet artistic beauty.
When hearing this, Kato Megumi almost couldn't keep her composure. After all, she had been to Ruyiliao to help out before, and she knew clearly what Eriri was like when she was rushing to finish her manuscript.
She is indeed quiet, but not demure at all. When she is silent, her brows are furrowed as if she is in a battle, and when she speaks, she screams like crazy, cursing Hojo-kun, Sankei Shimbun, and Kasumigaoka-senpai... Although I don't know what this has to do with Kasumigaoka-senpai, Eriri seems to be looking for inspiration in this way, cursing for a while and then getting back to creation.
Really, these talented people are really enviable.
Hui returned to the room, found a pile of newspapers and magazines, and continued the unfinished work.
The girl found all the reports about Hojo-kun and Eriri, cut them out carefully, and pasted them on her notebook. She also wrote a string of words with some thoughts on them.
Although I cannot become a brilliant genius like Kyousuke and Eriri, when those geniuses are creating miracles, I am also dazzling enough when I stand beside them.
Hui's little hand gently stroked the cover of "The Dream and Death of Writer K", stroking the string of numbers. This was not the official version for sale, but a sample copy given by the writer to relatives and friends.
Who is number one? Who are number two and number three?
The girl blinked and decided to see what number Eriri's sample issue was when she got to school tomorrow.
Thanks to the big guys for their monthly tickets, recommendation tickets and reward support, thank you.
