Chapter 104: 46 Enthusiastic Book Fans
These readers and book fans were all very enthusiastic, with undisguised excitement on their faces. Some shook hands with Hasegawa, and some even hugged him.
However, it was a novel signing event after all, so handshakes were fine, but hugs were not. Especially since some of the ladies' hands were indeed quite soft, but for boys, forget it.
Signatures were constantly falling on the book, and gradually, Hasegawa found that he seemed to be unable to write. It was a very strange feeling. He knew the words, but when they fell on the paper, they seemed to be a little unrecognizable.
"Teacher Hasegawa, please sign for me." Another excited voice.
"Okay - Tomoya? Why are you here?" Hasegawa looked up and saw a familiar face, Tomoya Aki wearing glasses.
"Didn't I say I would come? And how could I be absent for such an important event? But, Mr. Hasegawa, why are you wearing a pair of glasses? If I didn't know it was you, I would have suspected that I had recognized the wrong person." Aki Tomoya grinned, and was very curious about the glasses Hasegawa was wearing.
"Well, it's a disguise. And it feels a little too immature, it will be more mature this way." Hasegawa smiled.
"Well, it's indeed much more mature."
Just a few words, someone behind was urging them. Aki Tomoya and Hasegawa knew that this was not the time to chat, so they signed for Aki Tomoya and left, and then signed for the next person.
While signing with a smile, Hasegawa was still thinking that Aki Tomoya actually came to the scene. He obviously wanted an autograph, and he would have told him the same thing at school. However, it seems that Kato Megumi also said that she would come, so did she come?
I looked up and saw quite a lot of people, hundreds or even thousands. Although it couldn't be compared to a singer's concert, it almost filled up the space in front of the bookstore. Fortunately, they all knew to line up and didn't make a mess.
There were too many people, Hasegawa couldn't see Kato Megumi at all, so he simply gave up looking for her.
"Hasegawa, you are so handsome, do you have a girlfriend?" A lady with a face of more than 60 points blinked her big eyes and looked at Hasegawa.
"Sorry, this is my privacy. Generally speaking, I won't answer this kind of question. But it's not an important thing. So I'll tell you, I don't have a girlfriend yet." Hasegawa quickly wrote his name on the lady's novel.
"Hey? Mr. Hasegawa is so handsome, but he doesn't have a girlfriend?"
"Thank you very much for your compliment, but I am still self-aware. The word handsome doesn't seem to have much to do with me, but I am still very happy. After all, no one would refuse to be praised." Hasegawa smiled and handed the book back to the young lady.
"Then, can I be Mr. Hasegawa's girlfriend?" The young lady looked at Hasegawa eagerly.
"Uh. Sorry, I don't have the idea of finding a girlfriend at the moment." Hasegawa was a little stunned, but he refused directly after reacting.
It has to be said that even if a person is not handsome, as long as he has outstanding achievements in a certain aspect, in the eyes of some people, an ordinary face can become handsome.
Just like Sun Piaoliang, is he handsome? That face doesn't look like a good person at all, but after filming a few good dramas, it attracted a large number of fans and moviegoers, and now that face looks a little more handsome.
So it was completely normal for a young lady to confess to Hasegawa at the scene.
The young lady's confession was just an episode of the book signing event, and the book signing event would continue.
From morning to noon, it was time to eat, but there were still quite a few people waiting for autographs. Hasegawa looked up at the crowd, although he felt a little hungry. But these people were waiting for him, and Hasegawa couldn't leave them and go to eat by himself, which would be a bit too much.
After taking a sip of water and filling his stomach a little, Hasegawa continued to smile and signed autographs for the remaining book fans.
"Teacher Hasegawa, please sign for me." The familiar tone, the flat voice, as if there was no emotional fluctuation, made Hasegawa stunned for a moment.
"Kato? Are you really here?" Hasegawa was a little surprised and a little surprised.
"Of course, I came here a long time ago. I just didn't expect your fans to be so enthusiastic, Hasegawa. I didn't come too late, but there were already so many people queuing up in front of me, so I could only wait until now." Kato Megumi said calmly.
Obviously, Kato Megumi didn't understand the enthusiasm of fans, so she probably came to the book signing event on time, but she didn't expect that when she came here, there were already many people queuing up.
"I'm really sorry, but for this kind of thing, the sooner you come, the better."
"Yes."
After saying a few simple words and signing her name, Kato Megumi turned around and left without wasting any time.
Time passed little by little, and the sun also deflected little by little, moving from the top of his head to the west.
"Huh - it's finally over." Hasegawa sent off the last fan, put down the pen in his hand, and rubbed his sore wrist. Even if it was just a name, but after writing it over and over again, Hasegawa still couldn't stand it after writing it over and over again for thousands of times.
"Teacher Hasegawa, you must be hungry too. Eat a bento first to fill your stomach." Machida Sonoko came over with a bento with a smile on her face.
"Thank you. I am indeed hungry." Hasegawa had been hungry for a long time, so he was a little impatient when he saw it.
"Teacher Hasegawa, this book signing event was very successful. Not to mention that there were thousands of people attending the book signing event, three thousand copies of the novel were sold at the book signing event." Machida Sonoko smiled happily.
For a new author, it is really good to have such a result in the first book signing event, which can be regarded as a great success.
"So many?" Hasegawa was a little surprised.
"Yes, that's so much, and it will bring a certain amount of news traffic later to stimulate the sales of novels. This is why many light novel writers hope to hold book signing events."
Hasegawa nodded. He understood that what Machida Sonoko said was true. But the most important thing now is to eat. I opened the bento and looked at the high-end bento, which made me feel even hungrier.
"Mr. Hasegawa? It may be a little late, but could you please sign for me?"
