The result of the best written ongoing series of the past 10 years goes to, the announcer opens the sealed envelope and says "to the other side by xi li Huan".
the crowd cheered with their bottom of their heart, seated in the crowd was Adam, an ordinary attendee who as screaming like wild animal filled with joy, he was just an ordinary attendee but also a diehard fan of "to the other side".
suddenly his friend Shota Fujino jumped on him and with his hand around Adams neck they both danced in joy, suddenly the announcer requested the crowd to settle down. They calmed themself down and both sat down along with the other fans, then the announcer broke another envelop and spoke, "and the close runner-up is The RED SAND VALLEY BY Janyu Nakayama". the crowd cheered once again but lesser then last time moreover, both Adam and Shota were dead silent hey resented the red sand valley and considered it to be a disgrace to writing, it was a miracle that it had 2214 chapters, this was a common notion the fans loved it but the haters were very hostile. Regardless they were happy that it didn't won over their favourite work.
both critics and casuals didn't considered red sand valley to be very great they considered the plot choices to be a bit jarring and in some cases bad. then the announcer presented awards the 34 year old Chinese xi li Huan took his award with elegance and gave an almost arrogant sounding speech, then as the announcer was discussing the other categories, his ear piece rings , he goes silent for a while but then he speaks, "he have a surprise speech by Janyu Nakayama". this was very odd, suddenly the atmosphere changed some whispered and gossiped although his name was well known he had never made an appearance or addressed his fans and the some short and rare fan meet events he stayed anonymous and talked in way as if he was just an ordinary fan of his own work some considered it to be arrogance and some to carelessness and insult to art, this caused the fans to successfully boycott it in last years event, this was good for Adam as he straight up hated his work always, even xi li Huan had many times criticized the plot choices in red sand valley.
Him and his friend got excited they had waited for this, they even had managed to sneak eggs and tomato's to splash on the authors face, suddenly the backward screen lite up, even the announcer was surprised, then a young women came and sat on the empty chair on the transmission and spoke
"hello my name is Nanao Nakayama I am the younger sister of Janyu and first of all I am not the writer it was my brother ad .. he Umm.." her voice was hesitant and she had lowered her head
in a Shakey voice she spoke my brother, .. yeah.. the author he um.. hung himself 10 years ago" the stage went silent
"I remembered he would rad his stories to me everyday over cellphone" she smiled a little "and every time I would say dang its really good and he would reply like its not that good".
she raised her head looking at the upper right corner and with a smile spoke, "he used to really admire the work of the todays winner Mr Huan , I think back then there were only a few chapters of the other side were released like 17 or 19 maybe, he would read the weekly chapter and spoke how he cold never match this level of story telling and I would say you have to try". she looked down once again and after a small silence spoke, looking at the camera "his last message was to delete all the chapter of his dearly story that he had send me in the span of 3 years "but, I rejected his wish and weekly posted them one by one. and last week I posted the last chapter he had send me so I just wanted to say that the story has come to an unfortunate end." she tried to put a smile over her face and with a deep breath spoke, "it was my dream to go to his grave just one time and tell him that he was wrong that, his story couldn't win any 1 place awards today was the last chance for me to win, unfortunately some wishes j
the entire stage was left in shock, even the organisers and the publishing company didn't knew about this, at the end all Adam could do now was regret, he could listen to the hatred over himself growing in his mind, his friend had already started crying, in the next second almost everyone's eyes were filled with tears from xi li Huan in the first row to the last row, the announcer spoke while cleaning his tears.
THE END.
