I Am a Light Novel Master in Japan Chapter 208
"Eh?! Uesugi..."
Kasumigaoka Shiu subconsciously recited his pen name, but before she finished reciting it, Kagurazaka Iris secretly covered her mouth.
"Ahem."
Kagurazaka Iris deliberately coughed a few times. Fortunately, the sound was quiet enough so that no one else heard it. Even Li Yan was frightened and turned blue. He seemed to be very lucky today.
"Sorry, I almost made a mistake." Kasumigaoka Shiyu noticed her mistake and hesitated before saying.
"It's okay. There may not be any fans of my books here. Why do I always feel that my situation is a bit embarrassing..." Li Yan narrowed his eyes and asked sadly.
"You are an old thief after all. It seems that the release of your sixth volume has been postponed again. I don't know how many times you have broken your promise. You will be beaten to death." Kagurazaka Iris teased with a smile, looking at the sudden Li Yan appeared and said.
"Forehead……"
Li Yan had nothing to say. After all, this joke was generally false, but half of it was true.
"Although it's understandable, don't alienate the readers too much. After all, they have always been people who silently support you." Kasumigaoka Shiyu picked up a pen and silently wrote a message in the game disc box, showing a playful smile, quietly He handed the game CD to Li Yan.
"I originally thought that I wouldn't have a chance to meet you when I came to Tokyo this time, but it's really fate. I haven't seen you for a while, Li Jun."
With a somewhat naughty air, Kasumigaoka Shiyu suddenly put away the game disc, leaned on his chin, winked at him with his left eye, smiled as if, and said.
…
After the autograph session, while Kagurazaka Iris was still communicating with the store owner, Shiha Kasumigaoka invited Li Yan to Akihabara for a walk to get some fresh air. It seemed that there were some things he said that he did not intend to say in front of the editor. explain.
Walking on the streets of Akihabara, which is full of [SAGE], [Nintendo] logos and all kinds of famous anime posters, there are so many people, it doesn’t seem like a good place to relax.
"Time flies so fast. We have known each other for almost a year. Do you still remember the day of the month when we first met, teacher?"
Kasumigaoka Shiyu, who was walking side by side, seemed to be in a good mood. Her beautiful face revealed a bit of laziness. She seemed to have gotten up very early, but with a smile like a little devil, she asked Li Yan a strange question.
"I remember it was July 3rd..."
Li Yan looked at her, but he still remembered it, and replied. After all, after he was hit by a car that day, the medical bills were all dated. It should have only been more than half a year.
"..."
Kasumigaoka Shiyu was stunned for a moment. She was a little surprised that Li Yan actually remembered it. She lowered her head slightly, and her fair cheeks were slightly flushed, which seemed to be the original color of her blood. It also seemed that her mood was fluctuating.
"Well, that's right, July 3rd is the anniversary of Sanwa Bunko."
She smiled and asked with great interest: "That time, I lost the sales to you the first time. Forget about not fulfilling my promise. The compensation for the second bet has been kept with me. Now you have been admitted to Dongda University." Now, it’s time for me to fulfill it, right?”
"The bet... was it that competition at the C89 venue? You actually still remember this..." Li Yan was slightly stunned and thought to himself.
When Kasumi Shiko was preparing to release her new book, she once again had a sales competition with Li Yan at the C89 venue. The result was no surprise. Li Yan easily won the second competition. Kasumigaoka Shiyu promised to cover all the expenses. Invite Li Yan and the small team of Sanhe Library to travel to a good place.
Although the University of Tokyo has already started school, there will be no classes on Friday afternoon next week, and there will be no important classes on Monday morning. You can consider taking a leave of absence, which can squeeze out about three days to travel to some nice places.
During this period of writing the sixth volume, Li Yan also considered whether to go out to collect ideas and replenish his depleted inspiration, so Li Yan was really excited at this moment.
I'm just a little embarrassed to let Kasumigaoka Shiyu spend so much money.
"Wouldn't this cost you too much, Teacher Xia Shizi?" Li Yan asked.
"There is no need to worry about money. After all, I am also a writer who has written two novels. I can still get hundreds of thousands of yen. The sales revenue of this new book can already pay for my travels and several years of college. It’s free of charge, so there’s no need to worry.”
Kasumigaoka Shiyu's expression looked very relaxed, and she said bold words that Li Yan might not have the confidence to say in his life.
"However, when it comes to new books, I think of the "Metronome of Love" I started writing before. I remember that the sales results of the first volume were not ideal at that time, and it was even about to be cut in half. Haha, at that time I also I feel like maybe I don’t have the talent to create.”
Kasumigaoka Shiyu talked about this past incident, glanced at Li Yan beside him, raised the corners of his mouth, and said: "It's not like a certain old thief who became a dark horse in the library from the beginning and became a blockbuster. Most of the authors are After many, many failures, there is a possibility of a second volume and a third volume. You are really an old thief, aren't you?"
In fact, Kasumigaoka Shiu may have endured a lot of hardships, but no matter how many hardships he suffered, it would not be as much as what he has experienced. You must know that in his country, there will be more trolls for a book than loyal fans. A writer probably has pretty good willpower.
"Well, don't call me that again. I feel uncomfortable when I hear this title. The road to writing is not smooth sailing. I have written novels before, so I have a certain amount of experience and skills. After many failures, , and then gradually got the hang of it..."
Li Yan explained with an envious expression and said: "It's true that I can't meet readers as well as you do. Readers who read my books now always feel like they want to eat me."
"..."
Kasumigaoka Shiyu was slightly startled and turned her face to look at Li Yan, who had a fearful look on his face. She quietly paid attention to this face, not to mention that he was indeed good-looking and had the ability to charm people over twenty years old. The peculiar physique of women under ten years old. During her last trip to Hitoyoshi City, when she was in danger several times, she remembered the figure who silently protected her from danger. She remembered the figure who was fearless and regretful. A grace that does not move its will.
In the end, I wasn’t afraid of anything, I was just afraid of readers…
"Well... I have always been protected by him. There are always some things that I should be able to help... So, what can I do to resolve the teacher's knot?"
Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu began to think thoughtfully.
Just when she was thinking about how to protect Li Yan in turn, Kasumigaoka Shiyu suddenly realized that Li Yan had stopped. She was slightly aware that Li Yan's eyes stayed on a figure.
This figure seemed to be a Japanese samurai girl, with typical straight black hair and a beautiful and elegant face, but Kasumigaoka Shiha didn't know which anime character this was from.
"Teacher?" Kasumigaoka Shiyu walked over and asked curiously.
Li Yan looked a little fascinated. He looked at the workmanship for a while, and then looked at the price. He looked embarrassed, but he was a little reluctant to give up. He didn't hear Kasumigaoka Shiyu's words at all.
"..."
Kasumigaoka Shiyu was silent for a while, then showed an evil smile, raised her toes slightly, came close to Li Yan, and blew gently into his ear.
"Ahhh!" Li Yan covered his ears, jumped away, and looked at Kasumigaoka Shiyu aside in surprise.
"There is a reaction. Sure enough, you can't stand this move." Kasumigaoka Shiyu said with a smile, as if even Li Yan knew about Li Yan's sexual fetish.
"No one can stand it. Teacher Xia Shizi is really incredible..." Li Yan thought with a complicated look on his face.
"Do you want to buy this figure?"
"No, no, it's too expensive... Although the workmanship is very good and the workmanship is really restored, the living expenses are starting to be insufficient. Recently, I plan to save some money to take the driver's license test, and it will cost a lot of money..."
"That's it, then I'll buy it for you. It's obviously only a few thousand yen. If I had spent this period of time writing novels, I would have made it back. It's obvious that the author's works are all animated."
"It's not about this aspect...wait a minute, what did you say?"
Li Yan was still explaining something, but Kasumigaoka Shiyu told him, and he was immediately stunned.
He watched Kasumigaoka Shiyu call the clerk, then hand over the money and deliver the goods. In less than thirty seconds, Li Yan completed Li Yan's well-thought-out action. Under the strange look of the clerk, he followed Kasumigaoka Shiyu numbly and continued. Head towards Akihabara to relax.
It seemed that he really wanted to return the money to her at that time, but Li Yan held his withered wallet and understood that there was absolutely no way to do this. At that moment, Li Yan seemed to realize that he had lost something precious in an instant...
…
The large bookstore in Akihabara returned to its original state, and Kagurazaka Airi had just finished communicating with the store manager. After saying goodbye politely, she walked out of the door and saw Li Yan and Kasumigaoka Shiu back.
"We're back just in time, we're going back... Teacher Li, why do you look so bad? What happened?" Kagurazaka Iris showed a bright smile, waved, and then saw Li Yan, a little worried said.
