I Am a Light Novel Master in Japan Chapter 188
Li Yan didn't know why, but when he was talking about underwear to a girl, he felt that he was still full of embarrassment. After all, he had been in contact with girls since he was a child, that is, in the past two years. Looking at Shiina Mashiro's face, she still couldn't refuse this basic request, and said: "After all, you have to be in a hurry, I will buy a new one for you."
As a result, Li Yan did buy new underwear from the convenience store quickly and easily, but the style could be seen from the packaging. The boxer briefs were all the same, which made Shiina Mashiro lower his head and open his eyes. Look, his face looks a little reluctant.
"This is not cute at all."
"I think it looks pretty good. You'll know after you put it on. It keeps you warm, protects your skin, and prevents static electricity. After putting it on, remember to brush your teeth and wash your face. It's almost time, so please do it as soon as possible."
Li Yan was slightly stunned, not quite agreeing with Shiina Mashiro's words, and urged him by the way, and said.
In the end, it was not clear whether Mashiro Shiina really wore the underwear Li Yan bought. She finally managed to keep her clothes clean and tidy, her hair was still a little messy, and she was wearing her white hooded coat. This outfit was very similar to Li Yan's. The style of clothing is somewhat similar.
"Uesugi, how do you find inspiration from life?"
Shiina Mashiro asked while walking.
"Forehead……"
Li Yan originally thought that she would be a little dissatisfied with his tough posture, but the result was still the same as before. She did not have any emotions, but was concerned about Uesugi Yan's inspiration.
"Take this operation as an example. In essence, we are indeed investigating something that makes me feel a little dangerous... By the way, doesn't your country have a famous detective novel called "Sherlock Holmes"? How about that? Try to put you and me into the story of that book, and use the plot of the classic novel to generate new inspiration. This is also a very common method for us writers to find inspiration. I am Sherlock Holmes, and you are Watson, trying to During this kind of journey, let’s find the adventurous feeling of the streets of England.”
Li Yan explained.
This method is the most commonly used by cartoonists and novelists to find inspiration. It is commonly known as "collecting materials". It is also the simplest and most effective "game" to stimulate the depths of the brain.
"..."
Shiina Mashiro was a little confused, but she didn't have any doubts.
When we arrived at the public parking space downstairs together, we found a black modified sports car with a Toyota logo parked in a parking space.
In less than half a year, the black Toyota Supra race car, which had been severely damaged twice in a row, was taken to a repair shop for repairs for half a month at the expense of Yukinoshita Harano, and then was registered with Shizuka Hiratsuka's relationship. , became a legal and insured car.
I just heard that during maintenance, in order to test the overall body, a young maintenance worker tried to drive it, and almost hit a telephone pole. The performance of the car was almost completely restored, and the maintenance worker was also a skilled driver. As a result, I really can't explain what happened.
"I ran over and drove it back last night. Although I haven't gotten my driver's license yet, generally if there are no violations, it won't be caught by the traffic police. Just try to drive as well as possible."
Li Yan looked at the Toyota Supra, which looked like a new car, and thought to himself silently.
"Miss Shiina, please get in the car. After we take you to a unique and cheap breakfast restaurant for breakfast, we will go to a small mountain town. Then I will ask you to help find that person."
Li Yan took out his car keys and said to Mashiro Shiina.
Shiina Mashiro's eyes were still a little sleepy, sitting in the passenger seat.
The car started to start again. The moment Li Yan held the steering wheel, he seemed to be able to feel the car coming alive again. He silently prayed that this time he would gain something from the one-day trip, and drove the car out of the parking lot. field.
However, at the door of the apartment building, the girl with blond hair and twin tails stood quietly on one side, watching the car gradually leave the sight, silent, and it seemed that she was not happy...
Chapter 122 Miss Watson, we are in trouble
The green mountains are rolling, and the woods after the rain are filled with water clouds. The crisp woods seem to be able to drip water drops. This road leads to the small town that I visited a few days ago. It is said that this road can reach Kanagawa very quickly. It is in the southern part of the county, but the roads are remote and there are only two or three small towns in between.
Li Yan had been driving his black Supra for more than two hours. After leaving Tokyo, he kept feeling like he was climbing mountains, and now he was immersed in a world of green mountains and green waters.
At this moment, Mashiro Shiina, who was sitting next to her, had already fallen asleep. It seemed that she went to bed very late last night. Although she promised Li Yan to get up early, she fell asleep as soon as she touched the seat before and after breakfast. It can be seen that last night I put a lot of thought and effort into drawing comics.
Li Yan, who was sleep deprived, was also a little tired. He saw his cell phone prompting a small town ahead, so he decided to take a break on the way and drink a sip of water before rushing to the cursed holy land.
The vehicle entered a fork in the road, and soon came to a small town, or rather a rural area. A patch of green seedlings sown in spring swayed leisurely in the wind, and at the intersection of the village, there was a convenient The shop seemed to specialize in the business of tourists like Li Yan who took this side road. Several cars from Tokyo and Kanagawa had already parked there to rest.
"Well……"
As soon as the vehicle stopped, the sleeping kitten... no, the girl opened her eyes hazily, and in front of her was an emerald-green rice field.
"Are you up? Do you want to go to the convenience store for some drinks? I'll treat you."
Li Yan noticed that Zhenbai had woken up. The first words he said were relatively calm, but the second word "treat" was revealed in a low voice with unusual hesitation.
Shiina Mashiro, whose hair was a bit disheveled, followed Li Yan out of the car listlessly and walked to the convenience store.
It seems that the girl is so beautiful, even in a remote town, other tourists who are drinking water and eating bread are surprised to look at the expressionless Shiina Mashiro behind Li Yan. It seems that Japan loves blond hair, even women He also stared at her long hair that was so smooth and beautiful even though it was a little messy.
"There are so many advantages in Shiina that have been observed... The fact that a person can come to Sanhe without any trouble is already a good example of Japan's public security. His lazy habits and lack of ability to live independently. If I go to university, How on earth is she going to ensure her safety when she goes to and from school... And I don't believe that she can live under the protection of others for the rest of her life. This is simply terrible... Anyway, let's take it step by step, and there is progress today. After taking small steps, try to let her do something else, hoping that she can be her own person, so that she can be regarded as my assistant Watson."
For Li Yan, the reaction of the people around him was not a good omen. It proved that Mashiro was too easily noticed and might be targeted by some alternative people. He held some hope and silently held the hope that Mashiro could With a little change of expectations, I opened the door and entered the convenience store.
However, the counter and refrigerator were filled with a dazzling array of products. After Li Yan bought a few bottles of water and snacks, he planned to go to check out with this basket of things, but suddenly heard a snapping sound. He was slightly startled and replied Looking over his shoulder, he saw Mashiro Shiina minding her own business and actually taking apart a baumkuchen in the bakery counter. She seemed to be enjoying herself. With a faint smile on her lips, she first took the skin off the baumkuchen with her mouth. Tear it off slowly and eat it bit by bit. This way of eating is exactly the same as his childhood habit.
"..."
Li Yan stared blankly at Shiina Mashiro. The shop owner and the people around him also looked at this girl who was enjoying the meal with some surprise. In such an embarrassing atmosphere, they almost treated the goddess just like a weirdo.
In convenience stores in Eastern countries, it is almost a rule not to open goods without paying, but Li Yan also knew that Mashiro was British, and maybe she had never been to such a convenience store before, so he had no choice but to do so. He walked over calmly and put in a few more Baumkuchen. After Mashiro finished eating, he took Mashiro Shiina to the checkout counter.
"I'm sorry, my friend came back from abroad and his consumption method is a little different. I will pay double the price of this cake to the store manager as an apology. Is this okay?"
Li Yan took out his thin and shriveled wallet and asked.
Shiina Mashiro didn't quite understand what happened. She watched Li Yan discussing with the clerk. It seemed that the clerk had forgiven them. Everything was going on in her eyes.
After coming out, Shiina Mashiro's voice was a little dull and asked: "...Holmes, did I do something wrong?"
"Uh... no, that's not the case at all. You didn't do anything wrong. I originally planned to explain it to you alone in the car. In all convenience stores here, you need to go to the cashier to settle the payment first. We can only open the food for consumption. This is a courtesy to the store manager, and the bags have barcodes that need to be scanned and settled. After all, society has its rules. Ms. Shiina just doesn’t understand the rules. Next time, Ms. Shiina, please Just remember it.”
Li Yan was stunned for a moment, and then explained. He actually wanted to complain that people in Japan always make fuss out of molehills and take these things too seriously. Although etiquette is very important, after all, the customs are different. There is something wrong with seeing something so sacred and not understanding it. But with this reminder from the side, she will naturally understand what she will do next.
"...Call me Watson."
Shiina Mashiro said suddenly.
"...Um, I'm sorry, I'll remember it next time."
Li Yan suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He almost forgot that there was such a setting. As a result, Shiina Mashiro was still taking the role of Watson seriously. It was really not easy.
After resting for a while, Li Yan finally regained his energy. He once again drove Mashiro Shiina deep into the small town lost in the mountains. Finally, at about eleven o'clock, he arrived just like last time. In this small town.
After the excitement of the past few days, this small town suddenly returned to calm. The streets were empty, and the town was mainly populated by middle-aged and elderly people. Young people seemed to have gone to the city to work and live, but occasionally some tourists stopped for sightseeing. Li Yan was curious about whether it would be a business opportunity brought about by the results of the last show.
"At first glance, it is still such a quiet and comfortable town, but it turns out it is next to a cursed holy place."
Li Yan got out of the car and thought to himself.
When I asked the residents here about the Cursed Holy Land in the early morning, it seemed that the residents here were also satellite towns established in the 1960s and 1970s attached to Tokyo and Kanagawa, so there was no information about that shrine at all. , so when he first investigated such a supernatural incident, almost all the world was hiding the truth from him, making it difficult to move forward.
After simply having lunch with Shiina Mashiro, Li Yan, who had insufficient funds in his pocket, hoped to act as quickly as possible. At noon, when the yang energy was strongest, he handed a bag of salt to Shiina Mashiro as a guardian. Using his body, he once again started heading towards that deep mountain...
Under the trees dripping with rain, on a bumpy road, Li Yan took Mashiro Shiina toward the deep mountain with the shrine. The road was naturally difficult to walk, but Li Yan still wanted to let Mashiro experience life as an excuse. As a result, Mashiro, whose shoes and socks were now covered in mud, kept looking at her feet.
