Chapter 50: Take a Disciple?

After the stage play ended, the applause lasted for a full half minute; in this theater of about 1,000 people, it could be called extremely enthusiastic.

Miyagawa Yosuke, while applauding, asked the vice president next to him: "Can you introduce the screenwriter of this stage play? I am very curious about the inspiration for this work."

The vice president was a bit surprised, but said with some difficulty: "Professor Miyagawa, there is still a meeting with the board of directors later..."

Miyagawa Yosuke thought for a moment and felt that he should go to the meeting first; anyway, the person wouldn't run away, and he could talk slowly then.

If the other party hasn't debuted yet, should he take another disciple?

Someone who can write such a story will definitely have a place in the literary world in the future.

Akiwara Yuto didn't know that someone was trying to be his teacher. He stood up with Asano Aiko and left the theater with the crowd.

After walking out the door, he asked Asano Aiko: "What do you think of this stage play?"

This was his first adaptation based on the original work, and he had spent several weeks of hard work on it; he was also very satisfied with the effect of the performance.

As a creator, he hoped even more to get approval from others.

Asano Aiko rolled her eyes at him; you know in your heart whether it looks good or not. The applause just lasted so long, and you are still asking me now.

She thought for a moment and decided to tell the truth: "It was indeed filmed well, but Akiwara, if it were performed by another drama department, it might not look this good."

Akiwara Yuto didn't expect to get this answer.

He nodded, admitting that what Asano said made sense; after all, even if the script is good, if it is handed over to a group of unqualified actors, the effect of the performance probably won't be very good.

Asano Aiko asked another question, "By the way, why didn't I see Miss Ikawa in the performance just now?"

She was really a bit puzzled; didn't Akiwara write this script to pursue Ikawa Akemi?

As a result, after watching the whole stage play, she didn't see the other party.

Akiwara Yuto was also confused after hearing this question.

At this time, a crisp voice came from behind them: "That's because I played the murderer."

Akiwara Yuto and Asano Aiko subconsciously turned their heads and found that it was Ikawa Akemi. The other party was wearing a light green club culture shirt and looking at the two of them with a grievance.

Akiwara Yuto was a bit unbelievable; after all, with her face as a young lady, playing a murderer is a bit of a waste, but he carefully sized up the other party's expression and found that the other party's expression didn't seem like lying.

Didn't get the lead role, but ended up playing a murderer.

Thinking of this, he laughed out loud subconsciously. Ikawa Akemi found that she was being mocked, and her expression became even more frustrated.

Asano Aiko originally wanted to laugh a little, but after seeing this expression, for some reason, she felt a little pity for the other party. She hurriedly stepped forward to comfort her: "Miss Ikawa, it's a pity that you didn't play the lead role."

Ikawa Akemi didn't hear her comfort, thinking she was speaking based on facts, shook her head and said: "No, my acting skills are indeed not good enough, and it is expected that I didn't play the lead role."

She sighed and added: "Originally I was the stage manager, but I didn't expect an accident to happen, making me play the murderer."

Akiwara Yuto couldn't help but be curious: "What accident?"

Ikawa Akemi didn't sell it, and answered directly: "The club member who played the murderer suddenly got acute gastroenteritis and couldn't come, and then the instructor forced me to go on stage."

She was really aggrieved; she had already refused this role, but didn't expect that she still couldn't escape.

Asano Aiko also laughed "puchi" after hearing this reason; she really couldn't hold it back.

After all, thinking of the murderer holding a "chainsaw" on stage, and looking at Ikawa Akemi's aggrieved expression, it felt like a "contrast moe" no matter how she thought about it.

Akiwara Yuto also had a smile on his face, but he still forcibly changed the subject: "By the way, what do the school and the invited writer guest think of your performance?"

Mentioning this, Ikawa Akemi's expression became excited, and she said happily: "After the performance, the students in charge of hospitality said they thought it was very good, and even stood up and applauded!"

Asano Aiko didn't know that there was an invited writer guest, and thought it was just an ordinary school festival stage play, so she asked: "May I ask which writer was invited?"

Ikawa Akemi replied: "They seem to call him Professor Miyagawa."

"Miyagawa Yosuke!" Asano Aiko exclaimed subconsciously; she didn't expect it to be this writer.

Akiwara Yuto saw Asano Aiko's surprise and asked, puzzled: "Asano, is the other party very famous?"

After all, he had only debuted for less than two months. Although he knew some famous novelists in the current world, he didn't recognize everyone.

And he had read the past winners of the Uemura Prize, and there was no name Miyagawa Yosuke.

Asano Aiko didn't expect Akiwara Yuto to not know, so she had to explain to him.

This writer named Miyagawa Yosuke has debuted for more than 30 years. Besides the identity of a writer, he was also hired as a professor by Waseda University.

Not only that, he also serves as a book reviewer and has his own column in the "Japan Industry Review."

You know, this newspaper ranks third in sales in Japan, with a circulation of as high as 2.72 million copies, which is more than 20 times that of the "Tokyo Daily News."

Asano Aiko faced Akiwara Yuto, and her voice became serious: "Akiwara, if you can get his appreciation, that will undoubtedly be a great thing for you."

Akiwara Yuto didn't expect this to happen, but the other party just came to watch a stage play; who knows what he is thinking.

You can't just go and get close to others for no reason, right? Maybe you will be hated.

He still firmly believes in one point: as long as he constantly improves his writing and truly makes the quality of his work good, then he will definitely be able to climb higher and higher in the literary world without doing any side-door tricks.

However, Asano Aiko also had good intentions, so he didn't refute, but said with a smile: "Asano, it's almost lunch time, why don't we have lunch together?"

Seeing Asano Aiko agree, he looked at Ikawa Akemi again, preparing to invite her, but Ikawa Akemi took the initiative to say that she still had to perform the second show at 2:30 in the afternoon and had to prepare again at noon.

Akiwara Yuto nodded, said goodbye to Ikawa Akemi with Asano Aiko, and wished her a smooth performance.

The two turned around and walked toward the direction outside the school, preparing to find a suitable restaurant to solve lunch.

Asano Aiko thought of the conversation between Akiwara Yuto and Ikawa Akemi just now, felt that something was wrong, and couldn't help but think about a problem.

Is Akiwara really pursuing Ikawa Akemi? ===== CHAPTER 51 =====
