I Am a Light Novel Master in Japan Chapter 209

"No...it's okay..."

"That's it, okay, then you all get in my car. One of you is going to the station, and the other is in Shinjuku area." Kagurazaka Iris took out the car key and said.

"Editor Kagurazaka, may I make two proposals?"

Suddenly, Kasumigaoka Shiyu put her hands holding the bag in front of her belly and asked.

"Well, what's the matter?" Kagurazaka Iris turned around and looked at Kasumigaoka Shiyu curiously. For this girl writer who speaks more seriously and comprehensively, it is usually not necessary. She also knows that Shiyu will not say too much. talk.

"The first thing is what I mentioned to you before. This time, I will treat you and take you all to Okinawa. The teacher has agreed."

Kasumigaoka Shiyu said with a smile.

"Oh, do you agree? In fact, I really want to go to Okinawa. No, I really want to go to Okinawa. I'm just waiting for you to notify me. But as for the cost, Mr. Kasumi Shiko, just ask him to go, we will A few people will go there at their own expense. After all, it is the agreement between the two of you, so we will not take advantage of this time. Haha, please inform them quickly, Okinawa is really a good place."

Kagurazaka Iris seems to be sparkling with joy. Although her last trip took her three days of vacation time, she still has more than a hundred days of vacation time that she has not taken. She has already planned to get rid of the work package again. Then go on a trip with a group of people you like.

"One more thing, although I am a little arrogant, I still think we should use the opportunity of the release of the sixth volume to resolve the fierce conflict between Mr. Uesugi and the readers. Therefore, we must hold a signing event for Mr. Uesugi En. That’s all.”

Kasumigaoka Shiyu continued.

"Eh... eh..."

A cold wind blew at Li Yan who was standing behind him. He looked at the conversation between Shi Yu and Kagurazaka Iris with a look of astonishment on his face. It seemed that he could no longer hear what they were saying next and could only feel To the chilling feeling of fear in my heart...

Chapter 133 The gathering of incredible readers

In the afternoon, it was still the same quiet and ordinary apartment building in Shinjuku District, Tokyo.

In the room of 405, the sound of video games is quite intense. The room with the curtains is a little dark. There are messy garbage bags and boxes everywhere. The PS4 game connected to the Internet is playing a dual choice of spreading fire or not. During the game, Gabriel pressed the handle numbly with dark circles on his face, and finally got through this game that only took a shaky M to play.

Suddenly, the curtains were suddenly opened, and a bright sunlight shone into the room. When the fair-skinned Gabriel was hit by the sunlight, he suddenly let out a scream, covered his eyes with his hands, and shouted in pain: " Ahhh! Sunshine, I can’t be hit by the sun!”

"...Do you think you are a vampire?" Li Yan stared at the rolling Gabriel with some annoyance and asked.

"Um... So don't touch my home. Everyone's home has its own unique atmosphere, so don't let your understanding of home enter my world."

Gabriel retreated to a place without sunlight and protested. The disheveled hair had not been combed for an unknown number of days. It seemed that he had skipped classes a few times in the past few days and his schoolbag had become dusty.

Li Yan stood by the window, helplessly looking at this blond girl wearing sportswear and not sure whether she was wearing leggings. He sighed softly, thinking that at least she had restrained herself in the past month or so, and he couldn't force her to do it. It was achieved overnight, and all I can do is wait for her to grow and improve.

Gabriel seemed to have remembered something, stretched out his hand, asked for something with an indifferent expression, and said in an Osaka accent: "Hey, you bought it, I came back so late, I have been waiting for a long, long time, hurry up Give me the game CD."

"I did buy it, but it took me a lot of effort. You haven't had lunch yet. Anyway, brush your teeth and wash your face first. Let's talk about it after eating." Li Yan put the shopping bag on the table and sat cross-legged in front of the table. , said threateningly.

"What are you talking about? Spiritual food, what else do you need real food for? The game you bought is my lunch." Gabriel squinted his eyes, picked his ears, and said a lot. Said, explaining her philosophy poetically.

"..."

Li Yan looked at this girl with some sadness, who had not only lost the temperament of an angel, but also the temperament of an ordinary girl. He felt that what should he do as a guardian next? Maybe he would be like other otakus. It is impossible for parents of this clan to raise their children to stay at home without leaving the house for forty years...

In the end, Gabriel reluctantly compromised and took out the bread she bought from the refrigerator and ate it with milk. This typical American lunch suited her long golden hair.

"I have written the novel to about 100,000 words. Thanks to your suggestions and tips, I will be able to enter the editing and publishing stage in the next week. Phew, otherwise, if I delay it any longer, I will really be killed by readers. .”

Li Yan's laptop was placed at Gabriel's home, and he began to continue writing the novel, typing and talking. Now only the last thirty or forty thousand words of the plot are left. After writing it in the past two days, my work has come to an end.

"Oh, then hurry up and write... The online game is waiting for you to open a new map." Gabriel inserted the cannula into a bottle of yogurt and said lazily.

"On Wednesday next week, Sanwa Bunko plans to hold a fan signing event for me, and take the opportunity to increase the sales of "Super Academy War". I also feel that relying solely on writing cannot further increase the popularity of the work. There is always a need for certain advertising. It’s just a matter of supporting the activities. I also plan to prepare well in the past few days to deal with the autograph session..."

Li Yan continued to explain and revealed the company's arrangements for the next week to Gabriel.

But in an instant, Gabriel's face changed when she heard this. She couldn't help but exert force on the hand holding the milk carton, and the milk shot directly onto her face. She immediately let out a "wow".

"Ah, my eyes..."

Li Yan heard Gabriel's exclamation and immediately broke away from his concentration on writing. He immediately took out a tissue and wiped the clumsy Gabriel's face, and asked in confusion: "What happened all of a sudden?"

When Li Yan was wiping the face of this loli cute girl who was less than 1.53 meters tall, suddenly the hair and cheeks of the girl in front of him were covered with white milk, and he felt a sense of déjà vu. I feel that I have been in Japan for many years and have become a little corrupted after being exposed to a certain kind of rotten island culture.

"Anyway, it would be better to wipe it with a wet towel..." Li Yan sweated slightly on his forehead and sat back in his seat, saying with embarrassment on his face.

"...Oh." Gabriel didn't understand that Li Yan suddenly felt helpless. He stood up and went to the bathroom to wipe his face and hair.

"Wait a minute, are you serious? If you are exposed directly in front of your fans under a pseudonym, you might be beaten to death." Gabriel suddenly remembered what he was going to say next, and the two little With his fists clenched, he hurriedly poked his head out of the bathroom and persuaded.

"Actually, it's not that exaggerated. After all, I only write novels. Although I have been threatened many times, generally speaking, people will not be so extreme about novels, so don't worry."

Li Yan sat in front of his laptop, smiled, and continued: "And my colleague Kasumi Shiko also thinks that I should reach a reconciliation with the readers. Uesugi Yan, who is not popular with everyone, should change. .”

"It does make some sense, but I always feel that I think about things too idealistically. But since you have decided, it is not impossible to give it a try."

Gabriel continued to search his pocket with one hand, and drank the yogurt with the other hand. He also felt that the author named Xia Shizi seemed to have some truth. Every time he saw his Twitter, he collected the most interesting things from hell. A strong devil would make a lot of cursing comments, so he really needs to change his image a little bit.

Out of curiosity, she returned to her pink laptop and searched for news about Uesugi's autograph signing in the forums she often visited. As a result, in front of her eyes, there was already a quarrel between fans of Uesugi. At this moment, there is a serious split. One part of the alliance is [Join the Hunting Group Today], while the other part is the camp that advocates [peace and universal love]. It seems like a feast in the light novel interface.

"It seems... this is no longer a problem with the book itself. The word Uesugiyan is originally a fun place that can easily cause lively topics." Gabriel suddenly understood something and thought to himself.

However, it is still unclear whether the peaceful faction or the militant faction will win before next Wednesday...

After finishing her lunch, without saying a word, she happily took out the game disc that had attracted much attention recently, but she saw a line in the disc box that read "Please take care of me in the future - Kasumigaoka Shiyu to Li Yansang" . 】

"Um, who wrote messy words on my collector's edition game disc?!" Gabriel gritted his teeth. The first batch of collector's edition games lost their original value.

※※※

As a result, time passed very quickly. Li Yan, who was studying at the University of Tokyo, was concentrating on the required courses, and at the same time asked Hagimura Suzu to help cover up, and secretly wrote in non-essential courses. After spending a few days like this, All the first drafts were handed over to Sanwa Bunko on Tuesday night, and the release date of the sixth volume was finally announced at 11 o'clock on Tuesday.

On Tuesday night, the streets of Shinjuku District, far away from the business district, were relatively quiet. It was about eight o'clock. Suddenly, the doorbell of the dormitory was rang.

Li Yan opened the door, and standing at the door was Eri Sawamura, whom he hadn't seen for a few days, but had a tempered and somewhat funny face when he met her.

"Yinglili, your expressions are so rich that you can make an emoticon..." Li Yan looked down at this guest without saying a word, looking at Yinglili's expression with some trouble, and couldn't help complaining in his heart.

"You saw that I was silent, so you should know the purpose of my coming here. I said, Mr. Uesugi, you still don't know how bad your reputation is in our industry. You actually plan to hold a signing event. Are you serious? ?”

Sawamura Eiri stood with her arms folded across her chest, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she stared at Li Yan and asked.

"This is the company's decision, Yinglili. You are also a partner who has put a lot of effort into this book, right? You should understand my thoughts. If there is no chance of helping me, I will not agree. But after seeing Kasumi Shiko’s success, I also hope to change my own image.”

Li Yan said to Ying Lili indifferently, seeming to be more confident. After all, he has completed the sixth volume of a novel with all A-levels, and he is confident in facing readers.

He poured a cup of Coke in front of the refrigerator in the house and gave it to Yingli, who took off her socks as if she were at his own home and sat on the cushion in a duck-like posture. After taking a sip of the drink, he relaxed. tone.

"You don't know how tired I am. I finally sent all the illustrations to the company today and they were approved after being reviewed by several editors. Hehe, I'm a little relieved. But, I heard that you will be here tomorrow night. Holding a signing event in Koto-ku, Tokyo, do you know what this kind of behavior is called?”

The snow-white smooth cheeks revealed a speechless and theatrical expression. Ying Lili, who was holding her cheeks with her small hands, glanced at him and asked.
