I Am a Light Novel Master in Japan Chapter 192

The night was so long, it seemed that Li Yan could only wait quietly in the dark night, waiting for the glimmer of dawn that would break all the darkness...

Chapter 124 The mysterious landlady

When I lived in the UK, I never had such a hard experience.

After a busy night, I used computer software to process all the works I drew during the day with color. The advantages of oil paintings over photos are immediately apparent. Angles that cannot be illuminated by light are clearly visible, and the atmosphere and details are all still there. This is the advantage of using sketches in detective novels.

It seems that after completing the last coloring painting, at about 3:30 in the morning, the energetic Shiina Mashiro suddenly heard the noise downstairs. She stood up and looked out the window. As a result, on the quiet street in the dead of night, that A black Toyota Supra was moving slowly. Behind the vehicle, there seemed to be a very puzzled figure pushing the car behind.

"I said that this cursed car of yours that can defeat twelve headless horsemen actually relies on oil to obtain energy. It is too contrary to the rules of the supernatural. Even if the TV is clearly unplugged, the monster will still feed on the TV. Climb out, why can't you learn a little bit?"

It seemed that he was exhausted and could not control the volume of his words. The young man in a shirt complained again and again. Although it was not clear what the strange words he said meant, he seemed to have returned safely.

This was the last scene of Sherlock Holmes who came back in embarrassment last night during the break.

Shiina Mashiro, on the occasion of the drizzle yesterday, rejected the student apartment called Sakurasou arranged by her cousin and came to this strange city apartment alone. Everything seemed to have just begun, but at the beginning, she Somewhat understood, her choice seemed to be the right one.

"Inspiration keeps coming."

Mashiro Shiina looked at Li Yan who was pushing the cart, and raised her hands to form a circle, symbolizing a steady flow of energy. It seemed that this was the way she expressed herself when inspiration came and she was excited.

…

However, it seems that inspiration cannot replace sleep time. In the deep sleep, a cold wind blew on Shiina Mashiro's cheeks. She opened her eyes with deep dark circles, but heard the knock that disturbed her dream. Door sounds.

It was almost the same as yesterday. She wanted to get up, but she suddenly became weak and fell into the warmth of the quilt.

"Miss Shiina, wake up. Please wake up."

Li Yan once again knocked on the door of Shiina Mashiro's room at door 605, urging in a low voice.

On this day, he actually felt a little guilty. After all, what he said yesterday was an appointment, but what he said today was a temporary interruption. He himself originally planned to sleep for a while, but unexpectedly something troublesome happened and he had to go find Shiina Mashiro again.

"It's already morning, Miss Shiina. You'll probably get up this early for school in the future. It's not too late to get into the habit now."

Li Yan used a caring excuse to establish a reasonable and considerate image for himself, and said naggingly.

"...Tomorrow has passed."

Suddenly, Shiina Mashiro's confused voice came from the room.

"...Well, his voice is like a lazy cat that doesn't want to get up at all." Li Yan narrowed his eyes and thought to himself.

"Ahem, Miss Watson, what is the result of yesterday's investigation? The progress of today's case investigation cannot be delayed. As a detective's assistant, you should act with Detective Holmes. This is the style of the responsible first assistant Watson, isn't it? ?"

Li Yan thought for a while and tried to persuade Mashiro in the second way.

After about ten seconds, the door of Room 605 opened with a click.

"...It's really open."

While Li Yan was relieved, he was also troubled in his heart. Although it was a good thing that Mashiro Shiina took on the role that was set for her yesterday so seriously, he was afraid that if he continued cosplaying like this, he might not be able to think like a genius. It is easy to develop split personality.

"Is what you said true?"

Shiina Mashiro had already arrived at the door. Her hair was a little disheveled and her eyes were a little dull, but she seemed to be more energetic and asked expressionlessly.

Shiina Mashiro looked a little different this morning. She basically did what Li Yan asked her to do. The door was properly locked, and when she slept, she was no longer naked, but put on a pair of clothes. This is a somewhat unique doll thermal suit, but when Li Yan looked into the room, it seemed to have some shortcomings. It almost looked like a thief had broken into the girl's room. There were scraps of paper scattered everywhere, furniture that had been randomly visited, and it seemed that the water in the bathroom was still running, as it seemed that it had not been closed all night.

"Okay, you have made some progress, but you are still as if you have no ability to take care of yourself at all, and your evaluation is E- (the worst score in the UK)."

Li Yan looked at the tap water in her bathroom that was almost full and smelled like a burning washing machine. She narrowed her eyes and said.

As early as yesterday, the morning when Li Yan promised to help Shiina Mashiro find inspiration, Li Yan carefully wrote a life guide and rules and posted them in various key places as reminders, such as behind the door, about locking the door and paying attention to hospitality. matter. On the desk, there is a collection of stationery and a schedule for studying and working and resting time. In the toilet, toilet paper is replaced in a timely manner and the toilet is flushed every three days. In the bathroom, there are strict daily life forms, as well as instructions on how to use the washing machine. In the end, the kitchen was directly sealed. When nothing else was done, the kitchen, the most difficult adventure holy land, would be game over very quickly if the level was not enough.

"...It's finally done. Don't make such a low-level mistake next time. Life can allow mistakes, but making too many mistakes may also be a disaster. Follow the instructions strictly next time and you will definitely have something good. Draw interesting girl comics based on daily life experiences.”

Li Yan looked at the still messy and wet bathroom, hesitated, made some comments, and encouraged him to keep up the good work.

Although he had planned to help clean up the mess together several times, Li Yan still held back. After all, these were the consequences of Shiina Mashiro himself. Only those who suffer are the ones who make the fastest progress. As a result, Li Yan's With patient guidance, it took almost half an hour just to clean up the room. After basically controlling the disaster, Li Yan considered that the next cleaning would probably take more time. It seemed that he would have to wait until he came back to deal with it. .

However, Shiina Mashiro didn't seem to ask Li Yan for help anymore. She started to be self-reliant and didn't complain about anything, although the speed of progress can be described as slow.

In front of the living room window, a ray of sunlight shone on him and Shiina Mashiro. Li Yan was finally going to question her about why he came to see her early today.

"Mashiro, you just moved into this apartment building called [One Yuan Apartment] yesterday. You just moved in temporarily. This room is not yours yet. You have been living here for a day, so I want to ask you. My opinion, are you willing to live here?”

Li Yan lowered his head slightly, looked at this beautiful girl who was more than 1.6 meters tall, and asked seriously.

Although I saw Shiina Mashiro's attitude yesterday, which showed that she had no regrets, but one day later, no one could guarantee that this girl who had never been out of the care of others would change her mind temporarily.

"..."

Shiina Mashiro nodded, like pure white paper, and said: "Yes."

"!"

Li Yan's heart felt relieved. He breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Mashiro Shiina, and said with a gentle smile: "That's great, you are really good. Sure enough, I didn't misjudge your inner nature, Miss Shiina... cough cough , although it is a bit presumptuous, but I have decided to call you Shiina from now on. My name is Li Yan, and my pen name is Uesugi Yan. I will only admit this name frankly in front of my friends. Please give me your advice in the future, Shiina."

Shiina Mashiro's eyes were as bright as the stars in the night sky. She seemed a little happy. Although she was slightly moved, she was more dazzling and beautiful than the sun.

"...Call me Watson." Shiina Mashiro reminded seriously.

…

"There is actually a reason why I woke you up so early today and asked for your opinion."

Li Yan walked downstairs with Mashiro Shiina, who had already changed clothes, and said.

"?" Shiina Mashiro looked at him in confusion.

"Just sign a contract. Once you owe the contract, you will have to pay double the monthly rent deposit, and you will also have to pay the first month's rent. You will not be able to move out for a long time in the future. Otherwise, you will have to pay liquidated damages. I will tell you She said that the landlord here is quite a scam. She seems to sell some weird things at her home. I used to stay up late at night writing novels and bought a lot of cheap tea from her. Apart from being a bit scammed, everything else is fine."

Li Yan explained his purpose.

The landlord of [One Yuan Apartment] has always been a very unpredictable person, at least that's what Li Yan thinks.

For a long time, leasing information, house inspections, and lease contracts have been arranged directly by the housing agency, without the property owner having to worry about it. However, recently, because the new residents of that apartment building have been moving out frequently, it seems that the housing agency has recently The contract has been cancelled.

As a result, before finding another intermediary willing to cooperate, the international students living in 505 households acted as housing agents. Early this morning, they received a text message from the landlord, requiring him to transfer the new property in the morning. Residents are brought directly to sign the lease contract face to face.

However, he also had something he had to do waiting for him today, so he had to complete this task of helping Mashiro move in as soon as possible.

"So, trying to get a 15% rent discount is also an extremely tiring job."

Li Yan thought disheartenedly.

However, before departure, Li Yan took Zhenbai to room 506. He knocked on the door and asked, "Is Miss Thor at home?"
