Tokyo Tycoon, Start as a Writer

Chapter 5 She has a kind of enchanting charm that good women don't have
Regardless of how much shock "The Dancing Girl of Izu" would bring to the editors of Shincho, after leaving Shinchosha, in order to save money, Kiyoaki Matsueda could only squeeze into the evening rush hour tram on his way back.

Tokyo's rail transit is very developed and convenient, and you can take it anywhere.

The downside is that there are too many people.

After getting on the bus, there is no place to stand.

Kiyoaki Matsueda squeezed at the door, looking at his face reflected in the car door glass.

It was a handsome face with a calm expression.

The hair is a little messy but not uncomfortable.

If he could be more energetic, he would be even more handsome.

But this is enough.

For women who like literary young men, his current appearance is as lethal as a nuclear bomb.

"Click~"

Suddenly, I heard the sound of a shutter.

When I turned my head, I saw a girl who looked like a high school student. She was lowering her head with red ears.

She had her hands behind her back, probably hiding the tools used to commit the crime.

Not very smart.

Matsueda Kiyoaki withdrew his gaze and said nothing more.

Although you can't turn off the shutter sound when taking pictures with Japanese cameras, it is still very easy to take secret photos with your mobile phone without being discovered.

When taking a photo, just take a screenshot.

The train arrived at Yotsuya Station and Kiyoaki Matsueda got off.

I went into a supermarket next to the station and bought some shrimp, milk, tofu, lettuce...

Holding a big paper bag, he finally climbed up the long slope in front of Songzhi's house after being exhausted and sweating profusely - now his body is very thin, just like a fragile college student.

Putting down the paper bag, Kiyoaki Matsueda stood at the door and took a few breaths, thinking that he would start exercising once his life settled down.

I looked at the mansion in front of me from the outside.

The main building is a three-story white Western-style villa, which is matched with a Japanese-style courtyard. The architectural style has a strong Meiji era color.

The windowsills are inlaid with Japanese-style painted glass, there are sunny dolls and wind chimes under the eaves, and a wooden sign with "Pine Branches" written on it is hung next to the gate.

"really not bad……"

Kiyoaki Matsueda was quite satisfied with this.

This mansion, a mixture of Japanese and Western styles, has a strong artistic atmosphere and is very popular.

Unfortunately, everything is dilapidated, the iron gate is rusted, the bricks and stones are severely weathered, and there is withered yellow ivy on the walls, giving people a feeling that the house is about to be abandoned - it can be seen that the landlord really has no surplus food.

"I am back."

Open the door and enter the house.

I walked across the yard and into the living room, but there was no one there.

Kiyoaki Matsueda put down the paper bag and walked to the Japanese-style corridor on the side.

Lush trees surrounded the spacious mansion, and the courtyard was silent, as if it had been silenced by the scorching heat.

In the silence of the ruins, Matsueda Shinsako did not move.

The plump body was lying sideways in the recliner, with her elbows resting on the armrests and her cheek resting on her palms.

She looked at the distant sky with drunken eyes, and the evening breeze gently blew her gorgeous black hair.

From Kiyoaki Matsueda's perspective, she looked drunk, with messy hair spreading from the back of her head to the corridor.

The charming and delicate oval face looks very seductive when viewed from the side.

The part exposed by the slightly open neckline and the thighs exposed under the skirt are both very plump.

She looks noble from head to toe, but she has a kind of enchanting charm that is not found in decent women, which is very tempting.

Even if she doesn't try to seduce deliberately, men will naturally be tempted by her body and become obsessed with her.

"I'm back!" said Kiyoaki Matsueda.

Matsueda Shinsako opened her eyes and looked at him: "Have you submitted your manuscript?"

Songzhi Qingxian nodded: "Yes."

"Go cook." Matsueda Shinsako said lightly.

She didn't ask him any empty words like whether he had confidence or not, because she was almost sure who the winner of this year's New Trend Award would be - Tachibana Toshio, her sister's nephew, and also the son-in-law she had always wanted.

As for the person in front of me...

Masako Matsueda is a woman with a strong personality.

The men she admired were naturally the passionate and energetic Showa men.

But now this guy is just a typical "Heisei loser". How could she like him when he sits there doing nothing and being in a daze all day?

"I'll go cook first." "Hmm~"

After Songeda Qingxian left, the yard became even quieter.

There was still some heat in the air. Matsueda Shinsako narrowed her eyes slightly and slept for a while under the invasion of a slight fatigue.

"wrong……"

She suddenly remembered something and looked down.

The bulge can be clearly seen through the thin dress.

"Well, I can't not wear it, but it's so stuffy if I wear it. How about trying nipple covers..."

Kiyoaki Matsueda went into the kitchen carrying a paper bag, washed the rice and cooked it, then boiled a pot of water. He then took out a can of beer from the refrigerator and drank it while throwing edamame into the boiling pot.

Pour out the shrimp and ribs to thaw.

Chop ginger, chop potatoes, chop mushrooms, chop celery...

The edamame is cooked quickly and poured into a colander to cool.

Heat a frying pan, pour in white sesame oil, slowly stir-fry the cut ingredients over low heat, add the shrimp when they are almost cooked, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and the dish is ready.

The second dish is pork ribs with potatoes.

While cooking, the words [Cooking +1] kept passing through Kiyoaki Matsueda's eyes.

After the meal was ready, a message popped up in my mind.

【Cooking lv2/100】

【Cooking lv2→Cooking lv3】

These tips are the super learning effect brought by [Comprehension and Mastery].

With this passive skill, Kiyoaki Matsueda can learn things quickly, and he can also see the learning progress bar, which increases rapidly like the experience points in a game.

The level 3 skill is professional level, which means he has reached the level where he can make a living by cooking.

There are also lv4 mastery level and lv5 master level above.

Kiyoaki Matsueda wiped the sweat off his face with a towel, drank the rest of the beer in the can, and took the dishes out.

Every day I spend in this house means I get to serve them mother and daughter for one more day.

Once I get the 100 million yen Shincho Award, I can start planning my life.

With a system in hand, it is not too easy to stand out.

The long days of summer are finally coming to an end. The evening breeze blows my messy hair and the temperature finally cools down a little.

Matsueda Masako woke up from a light sleep and couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, as if she had come back to life.

"It's time for dinner." Kiyokatsu Matsueda shouted in the living room.

"I am back."

It just so happened that the younger daughter came back from school with an oboe in her hand.

"Yeah~"

Matsueda Shinsako sighed softly.

During the meal, there was not much communication at the table, and Songeda Qingxian looked at her from time to time.

She stood straight, her head tilted back without looking at the plate, and her tender white hands gently scooped up a small spoonful of soup with a spoon and put it into her cherry mouth, with the spoon at right angles to her lips.

Just like a swallow drinking water, the movement was extremely light and graceful, without any dripping or noise.

The word "elegant" is no exaggeration when used to describe her.

This is not something that can be learned by reading a few magazines; it is an instinct that must be formed through exposure from a young age.

Ordinary people simply can’t learn it.

If you are born with it, you have it. If you lose it, it is gone in this life.

But the dishes on the table are so ordinary.

So her sense of being a "high-class beggar" was noticed by Kiyoaki Matsueda, which reminded him of Dazai Osamu's "The Setting Sun".

After dinner, Kiyoaki Matsueda returned to his room.

"The Dancing Girl of Izu" is just a short novel with a total of only 13000 words, which is not enough to support the number of words required for a single volume.

If you want to publish a single book, you must add some interviews, reflections, short stories, etc. to make up the word count.

In order to live a life of ease and ease from royalties as soon as possible, and also to create the illusion of trying out more literary styles, Kiyaki Matsueda had already started preparing for the publication of a single volume, even though the manuscript might not have even been reviewed by an editor.

I turned on the light and sat down to write.

The black lace breast cap was still on his left hand, faintly emitting the lingering scent of a woman's body.

"Cigarette", "Haruko", "Death in Midsummer", "Spring Scenery", "A Scene from the Festival of Revenge"... five short stories come to life on paper. Together with "The Dancing Girl of Izu", they will bring Kiyoaki Matsueda great fame and wealth.
