His looks, his family background, and so on~\" a girl with earrings nearby said to her with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uesugi Sonoko placed the book on the table, rolled her eyes at her, waved her hand, and said crossly, \"I have no interest in dating. My goal is to carve out a career for myself in the literary world.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dating doesn't conflict with that.\" The earring-wearing girl continued to joke, then began counting on her fingers, \"Look, Shimazu-san is quite good-looking, I heard his family is very wealthy, and he's the president of the Literature Club...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do those things have to do with me?\" Uesugi Sonoko responded indifferently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was indeed not lying; all she could think about now was how to properly improve her writing skills and strive to win a newcomer award for submissions from a publishing house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was going to become a debut female author!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The earring-wearing girl could do nothing about her friend who was single-mindedly focused on pursuing a literary career. She sighed and looked at Uesugi Sonoko, discovering that she had already opened *New Fiction* and started reading. The sunlight passed through the classroom glass and shone on her shoulders, casting a glow over her entire person, making her look especially beautiful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uesugi Sonoko's figure belonged to the slightly slender type; her features were very delicate, her eyes were as pure as a clear spring, and her skin was as white and tender as crystal. There was a feeling of Princess Kaguya descending to the mortal world; it could truly be said that beauty and elegance coexisted in her, so it was no wonder Shimazu-san would fall for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The earring-wearing girl sighed, feeling that with her looks alone, she would never have to worry about finding a boyfriend, so she should just worry about herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She thought for a moment and also found a book to read; since it was club activity time, she might as well follow the club rules.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The activity room fell quiet for a time, with only the constant rustling sound of pages turning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uesugi Sonoko did not know that her good friend had thought so many messy things; she was currently reading *New Fiction* carefully. As soon as she opened it, she flipped directly to the second column, which had the words \"Seven Rooms\" written on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was a little worried, afraid that this serialized short story series was only good at the beginning and would turn into forced displays of weirdness and horror later on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was not impossible; after all, although the previously serialized stories were written very brilliantly, it was possible that this Akiwara-sensei had racked his brains to write them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it was impossible for a person to have bursts of inspiration forever, especially when having to finish one piece every week; good inspiration would eventually run out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a student in the Literature Department at Yokohama National University, she had a deep understanding of this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For many stories, just the conceptualization alone required a huge amount of energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once one encountered writer's block, it was often useless even if one smashed their head open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She liked the previous short stories very much and did not want the subsequent serialization to become uninteresting. Her mood was a bit tense for a moment, but as she read on, she became completely immersed, and her heart followed the plot involuntarily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A pair of siblings kidnapped into a secret room? This subject matter was quite rare; could the theme be finding clues in a secret room to escape?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huh? There was no other passage in the room except for a water channel; how was one supposed to find clues?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My god, there were actually three women locked up on each side; what was the criminal's intention?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What, they were actually slaughtering one woman every day, and the body parts were flowing down the water channel? It was too terrifying!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed unknowingly as she read. As the pages turned to the scene where the older sister hugged the murderer to let her younger brother escape, she finally finished the whole story.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn't help but shiver, and the hair on her arms stood up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately afterward, however, she felt extraordinary surprise and excitement!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Akiwara-sensei was worthy of being the genius she recognized; he could actually write such a thrilling article.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She lowered her head and began to recall the content of the plot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The plot was very tight, from the two siblings being kidnapped to the secret room, to the older sister using her wisdom to let her younger brother escape; all the plot points were linked together, which could be called gripping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a story, although the writing was plain and unadorned, was enough to show the darkness in Akiwara-sensei's heart. So, Sensei, it's not without reason that you are called a pervert online.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her face flushed involuntarily, feeling excited that she could see such an outstanding article, and a thought emerged in her heart to go directly to find Akiwara Yuto for a \"pilgrimage.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The earring-wearing girl, who was bored and reading a book nearby, noticed Uesugi Sonoko's strange expression, her face full of suspicion and uncertainty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just reading a novel; was such an exaggerated expression necessary?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Uesugi Sonoko was excited because of the work, book critic Yashiro Toshihiro also closed the book with satisfaction—as expected of Akiwara Yuto, he could actually fully display the human side while maintaining the story's quality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was very impressed by the plot design within the article; he had designed a perfect routine for a perverted murderer to kill, giving people a feeling that death was a relief—the enclosed, dark environment, the fear of the future, and the loneliness where even day and night were hard to distinguish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These factors undoubtedly added a lot of color to the thriller level of this short story.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was precisely this kind of terror that allowed the relationship between the siblings to be sublimated to another level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before being kidnapped, the siblings would bicker and even look down on each other, and the older sister even used both soft and hard tactics to make her younger brother swim back and forth in the foul water channel, but when it came to a life-or-death moment, the older sister showed a firm belief in letting her younger brother live, paying everything to protect him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How should he put it? It was simply like a touch of warmth in the extreme darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spread out his manuscript paper, preparing to pick up his pen again to praise this article and give it a big, positive review.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although many book critics were now paying attention to Akiwara Yuto, he still felt he should show his support.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a newcomer to be able to write such an article, it was truly rare!\u003C\u002Fp>",1389,"2026-06-21T03:58:01.347Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","2f8d36f997619273913fade9c204aa4851bc4f0770dcb0689074b1ad036d32cd","literary-master-of-tokyo-chapter-35","literary-master-of-tokyo-chapter-33",334,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fliterary-master-of-tokyo-cover.jpg"]
