Chapter 283 Mr. Akimiya's Refutation

Back home at night, Higashino told the story to Akemi Akimiya.

Hearing that because of Hiroyuki Oyama, the single volume of "Death Note" was temporarily suspended from sale, Akemi Akimiya was very angry, but she didn't know what to do.

Higashino regretted a little and should not have told her about this.

I can only talk about the things I have been pondering for a long time, and divert Akemi's attention.

"Our family lives very close to our parents, we can visit them anytime, and we have a younger sister who can take care of me."

"Mr. Qiu Gong is far away, and he lives alone again, I'm thinking..."

Akimi's eyes widened, and she asked in disbelief, "You want to find a wife for my father?"

"Of course not," Higashino laughed angrily, "I mean, Mr. Akimiya is 60 years old this year, and it's not safe to live alone. Let's take him home."

"I..." Akemi Akimiya felt a sense of fear spontaneously, unknowingly, the man who once looked like Optimus Prime was already old.

Then you have to face life by yourself.

"Yeah, um, um." She nodded absently.

……

At night, Akemi Akimiya thought for a long time, and did not fall asleep until late at night.

After waking up the next day, she did not draw comics uncharacteristically, but walked around the room with her mobile phone, looking at the clock on the wall from time to time.

"I'll go to my father's house." She said simply.

"I'll go with you."

"No need," Akemi Akimiya quickly put on her jacket, "Although the booklet is no longer available for sale, you still have to be prepared."

On this trip, Akemi Akimiya returned to her home near Musashino University in Nerima District.

Mr. Akimiya is at home, reading a newspaper with reading glasses.

"Why did you come back suddenly?" He sat calmly, frowning.

"I'll come back to see you, father." Akemi Akimiya went to sit beside Mr. Akimiya, and said with a smile.

Seeing her glance at the newspaper, Mr. Akimiya quickly moved aside, but Akemi Akimiya still saw her.

It was a report about Hiroyuki Oyama's critical criticism of "Death Note". The political commentator sounded very authoritative, and he was particularly eye-catching for a popular manga.

"So father, you are also paying attention to Hibiki's affairs." Akemi Akimiya said with a smile.

She noticed Mr. Akimiya's white hair and the wrinkles that gradually covered his face. Her father was indeed old and lost his previous mighty look.

Now it seems that he is just a little old man with a bad temper.

"Hahaha." Qiugong Mingmei covered her mouth and laughed.

"What's the matter? Is it ridiculous to pay attention to this matter?" Mr. Qiu Gong glanced at her.

"No." Akimi waved her hand, she squinted her eyes and said happily, "Thank you, father."

"Ahem," Mr. Qiugong coughed uncomfortably, "What's going on with you today?"

Akimi took his arm and whispered, "Father, how about you come and live with us for a while?"

"Most of the properties of the Akimiya family are in the Nerima area." Mr. Akimiya remained unmoved, extremely calm, "I am in charge of the operation of the company, why should I look far away?"

Akemi Qiugong looked up at Mr. Qiugong, "I just think it's time for me to take care of you. If it wasn't for the proposal, I wouldn't have noticed, father, you are already old."

"Mingmei..." Mr. Qiu Gong's eyes moved, but he still rejected her.

"I like to be alone."

Akimi persuaded him for a long time, but still didn't make him change his mind.

"I still have my career and job, not the lonely old man you think."

Akimi was helpless, "I will often go home to visit you."

After Akemi Akimiya left, Mr. Akimiya unfolded the newspaper, feeling lonely in his eyes.

When he noticed what Oyama Hiroyuki said in the newspaper, ""Death Note" is an absolute anti-human work!", he closed the newspaper again.

……

Sasaki sat in the office and began to consider the public relations matters of "Death Note".

If other cartoonists are allowed to speak out, it will even arouse the resistance of parents and teachers.

This is also the reason why he rejected Oda's urgent desire to speak.

"A highly respected educator that Shueisha can contact...or a writer...a university professor..."

He closed his eyes and thought, pointing the tip of his pen at the table.

"Editor Sasaki!"

Yoshida Koji ran over excitedly holding the newspaper, "Look quickly!"

Sasaki opened his eyes, "Yoshida, you have to be more stable."

"Yes, editor-in-chief."

Looking at today's newspaper, Sasaki couldn't help but be taken aback, "The time has come and gone."

……

"Some associations about "Death Note". Have the Japanese lost tolerance?"

The author is Mr. Akimiya, a Japanese ukiyo-e master.

"I've been talking about a certain professor recently. Because of the anti-human behavior of the hero in "Death Note", he has risen to the values ​​conveyed by the entire work."

"Based on the logic of the actor's behavior, he believes that "Death Note" is infecting the children's worldview, turning them into indifferent, paranoid, and unscrupulous people who question the credibility of the government and the reliability of the judicial process."

"I personally think that these are all unfounded worries."

"In "Death Note", L on the side of justice once said that Ye Shenyue is an extremely strong person, and he will never give up to achieve his goal."

"And in the previous episodes of the manga, Ye Shenyue was also enraged and killed L's substitute."

"This just shows that the message conveyed by the comics is that people like Ye Shenyue are a bad person through and through."

"This comic is just starting from the perspective of the villain, there is nothing special about it."

"The professor thinks that "Death Note" is a tool to convey the author's dark thoughts, isn't it too extreme?"

"In other words, he didn't read deeply at all. He just glanced at it and felt that he could come out and say a few words. With the mentality of saving the public and the pride of a leader, he sings a different tune and satisfies his own vanity."

""Death Note" is just a juvenile manga. Its core lies in the suspenseful reasoning plot, which cannot rise to the point of conveying ideas at all."

"Children read comics, just for entertainment after learning, no different from "Dragon Ball" and "Slam Dunk"."

"This is a very simple truth, but what puzzles me is that many parents have been influenced and started to suppress "Death Note."

"In today's Japan, can't even a manga be tolerated?"

"Writing so much with doubts, I suddenly had another doubt."

"Mr. Professor, who claims to accommodate grandson's interests, what does he look like in daily life?"

"Is it just like what he said, don't interfere with the children's fun."

"Or... as an adult, force the child to accept his own ideas?"

"As far as his performance is concerned, I think it is the second point for the time being."
