I Am a Light Novel Master in Japan Chapter 227

She said quietly: "Sawamura-san, the teacher Uesugi we know is not strong enough to resist any possibility. It's embarrassing to say that. I have always been worried that he is pushing himself too hard. From beginning to end, I have never I have never cared about other people’s lives, but this is the first time that I really long for... God, please have mercy on this person..."

It seemed that even she herself began not to believe in that emotional love.

In front of the girl's eyes, in the vast crowd of people and vehicles on the highway, Li Yan on the opposite side reacted. He turned around and looked at the two of them. His eyes were still the same as before, resolute and spirited, not hesitating about anything, but There is also a faint hint of warmth, reflecting the people he cares for.

※※※

Near noon, the sky suddenly became a little cloudy, and there was a roar of thunder in the sky, which made passers-by worry about whether it would rain.

Although it has a subtropical maritime climate, Okinawa will warm up earlier than mainland Japan. However, this is also the case. The number of rainfalls is slightly more than that in mainland Japan. In the weather records surveyed by Kagurazaka Iris, in the first few days of this week There have been heavy rains many times, which has resulted in loose ground in some mountainous areas, causing many foreign tourists to fall and get injured while climbing.

At 11:00, after everyone had eaten, Kagurazaka Iris took everyone on the bus and headed to the second stop, a tourist attraction called Shuri Castle.

Shuri Castle is an important historic site in the Ryukyu Islands. It preserves the Chinese Tang Dynasty-style architecture. The ruins are the palace buildings of the Ryukyu Kingdom and incorporate the architectural features of China, Japan and the Ryukyu Islands themselves. However, the previous monuments have long been destroyed by war. It was destroyed, and now this brand-new ancient city is a rebuilt replica.

"Well, because we are traveling independently, we don't have a tour guide to help us explain the meaning and function of the building. But after I learned a little about it myself, it seems that it doesn't make any difference whether there is a tour guide or not. In any case, people who have never been to Shuri Castle, just I have never been to Okinawa Prefecture at all, so please be sure to have a good time. In the afternoon, we will go to a particularly meaningful place, which is the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium. It is really beautiful and has a deep seabed. It should be able to stimulate and expand your inspiration.”

Kagurazaka Iris once again acted as a tour guide, introduced the significance of Shuri Castle, and announced the last destination of the day by the way, saying with a smile on his face.

"clear."

Li Yan and his party were already interested and started to take a look. After they responded one after another, they started to move around.

"It looks like it won't rain again." Ryuki Kusanagi said with a smile as he watched the sky become clear again.

"That's right. After all, at noon tomorrow, we are going to the beach for a swimming vacation. The last highlight will be there." Shido Kunimitsu said with a smile, while happily looking at Kagurazaka Iris who was holding a camera and looking refreshed. , eyes full of expectation.

"Well, Kunimitsu, I'd better say it first, don't do any unnecessary candid photos. At least in order to save you, we won't sit idly by." Ryuki Kusanagi realized something and coldly warned Shitou Kunimitsu. .

"...Hey, are you trying to hinder the relationship between me and Miss Kagurazaka?" Shido Kunimitsu's face turned blue and he protested in a low voice.

"No, I said it was to save you. You idiot, you are obviously planning to take pictures again." Ryuki Kusanagi's eyes sharpened and he said angrily.

When Izumi Masamune's boys group was secretly discussing something, Eiri took her drawing board out of her backpack. Li Yan saw it and asked in surprise: "Are you planning to sketch here?"

"That's right. There are descriptions of the Chinese court in my comics. The three ancient kingdoms are the English Empire shrouded in fog in Europe, the Central Plains Empire in East Asia, and the third one in the desert of Central Asia. The Arab Empire gave birth to a splendid civilization. I have never been to China, but I heard that the palace here was modeled after the Tang Dynasty, so I drew the pictures for reference."

Sawamura Eiri told Li Yan confidently.

"It feels like your comic book worldview is very grand. Can you really control it?" Li Yan asked, becoming slightly interested but also a little worried.

"After all, does your work have such a grand world view? Even though it is only a few schools, it also incorporates the charm of cultures from all over the world... I am just practicing. In the final analysis, I have no ambitions for my comics. What high expectations, after all, I specialize in the field of illustration. If I can better draw your work, old thief, I should... be able to improve the completion of your work even higher."

After Eri Sawamura finished speaking with a smile, she picked up the thick drawing paper and left towards the woods surrounding the palace with a simple drawing board.

"..." Li Yan looked at Ying Lili's back. He still hoped that Ying Lili could maintain his original intention. Although he thought so, there was no doubt that this was just his naive idea. The fight between the two painters might really end. During this year, the struggle continued...

We came to an open space with beautiful scenery. Through this colorful forest, we can see the Shuri Castle. There are also several other painters of different nationalities here who have chosen this angle to concentrate on sketching.

Eiriri worked hard to pursue progress. Even she herself began to feel that she was really working hard to speed up her skills as an artist, but she also saw that Mashiro Shiina, a world-class genius, was better than her. She worked harder, and when the genius girl sleeping on the drawing board appeared in front of her, Yinglili realized for the first time that her talent was not the center of the world.

"Okay, I have to draw it carefully." After placing all the drawing boards, Yinglili stopped thinking too much and raised the brush to measure the distance.

Just when the outline of the painting had just been drawn, a gust of breeze blew through the quiet woods. Amidst the rustling leaves, a figure walked up to Yinglili unconsciously and set up the drawing board. Standing aside, I also started to draw Shuri Castle here.

"..."

Yinglili was stunned and looked at the blond girl blankly.

Mashiro Shiina, like her old enemy, did not shy away from her, and without any courtesy, he painted the same scene with her from the same angle and the same picture...

Chapter 142 Charming Sapphire, Eri Sawamura

The dim sunlight shines through the gaps in the green leaves, and there is a rustling sound in the quiet woods.

Under the deserted and silent woods, the girl's golden hair was blowing slightly in the wind. She did not write, but stood in the quiet woods. Her quiet eyes looked at Shuri Castle in the distance, as if she was also in the painting. Beware of any ripples in the outside world.

She was painting right next to Eri Sawamura, without even looking at the girl.

"Shii, Shiina..."

Yinglili looked at the talented girl who appeared next to her in astonishment. They were peers and rivals, but at this moment, Yinglili felt as if she was looking at a wonderful oil painting, being attracted by this beautiful woman. The girl's expression was deeply attracted.

Shiina Mashiro started to write. She picked up the brush without measuring the distance or making any unnecessary movements. In front of the peaceful face, she began to draw while raising her head to look at the scenery in front of her. Her hands were moving, and that A pair of eyes were also immersed in the colorful world in her consciousness. The girl's hands, the girl's eyes, and the girl's feelings all began to appear on that snow-white canvas.

Yinglili forgot her own painting. She is also a talented painter with painting talent. After observing, her eyes could no longer break away from the other person's paintings. She was filled with shock, admiration, panic, love but also a bit of uneasiness. In her heart.

She recognized that this was a modern art painting method called "Direct Painting". This painting method requires the painter to have relatively profound painting skills. There are no restrictions on rules and regulations. It pays attention to flexibility and change, and can quickly and accurately capture The feeling of light and color of the scenery makes the picture full of the painter's emotions, unrestrained and subtle. In the hands of Mashiro Shiina, this will be a work created by a living art master.

Under the fallen leaves in the forest, no one knew how much time had passed. Ying Lili was beside her watching her finish the painting, but she did not paint another stroke at all.

Can't win, can't win no matter what...

Sawamura Eiri's heart was filled with this conclusion, and her eyes almost became wet. The game hadn't started yet, but it seemed that the winner had already been decided.

The gap was too big. The professional painting skills training that the other party received had an absolute traditional gap with her, a two-dimensional painter who mainly accepted Japanese comics. She did not find any conditions for her to defeat Mashiro Shiina.

However, out of courtesy and professional habits, she still stabilized her mood. Excellent works are excellent. After witnessing the birth of an excellent work, the first thing she did was to appreciate and celebrate. Eiriri forced a smile and said: "What a great work, Shiina. Congratulations on painting a painting that can shake the world."

"...?"

Only then did Shiina Mashiro react, gradually put down the hand holding the oil paint brush, and looked at her quietly.

Then, she shook her head slightly and said expressionlessly: "...This is a failure, it is far from enough."

The cold wind in the woods blew the two blond mixed-race girls. Mashiro Shiina looked at Eri Sawamura. At this moment, her face and voice overlapped with Li Yan's serious face and language when he was writing the novel, and said : "What I want to draw (write) is what I truly desire from my inner emotions, and is infinitely close to what I consider to be a perfect painting (novel)."

The gap between the creators was revealed at that moment. Li Yan's almost harsh attitude towards his novels, and Shiina Mashiro's unremitting pursuit of his paintings, actually have a similar resonance.

She herself is busy taking orders and drawing books in the business field, and her report card has always been sales volume. At this time, she felt like she had been thrown away all of a sudden...

"Ah, is it...is it like this..."

Yinglili smiled and asked softly and politely.

However, she kept moaning in pain in her heart. It was a foul. In such a competition and such an opponent, the other party could sublimate feelings to world-level art. Can her brush really paint works that surpass hers?

This year, she encountered many setbacks. In life, her parents' concealed incompatibility was finally revealed. Today, she personally supported her parents' painful choice of divorce. They have been at odds since they were childhood sweethearts. Now, perhaps even their creative partners and most important best friends have also become friends. About to be snatched away by others, her hand became a little weak and dropped down. Looking back at her painting, it looked so vulgar...

——[So, this is the work that Yinglili should paint. 】

——[Yinglili, you are the most important creative partner in my life. I leave my novel to you. 】

In the past year, Li Yan, who had worked hard to create with her and walked together, only said a few emotional words to her, but when she was recognized by this paranoid, there was always something that made her feel that she had stood up. Illusion is at the top of the world's paintings. Although it is hard to change the drawings and the cooperation is also a lot of twists and turns, they have never been so fulfilled and felt the same sense of accomplishment as building their art empire.

"Otaku Li, I'm sorry... It seems that I really told a big lie..." Ying Lili couldn't help but lowered her head slightly, her long bangs covering her eyes, and she didn't dare to let others see her weakness. Sadness, I thought to myself in a low voice.

Suddenly, a "ding dong" sound and a notification tone interrupted Eiri's melancholy. She immediately turned her back to Mashiro Shiina, opened her phone and looked at it. As a result, it was a message sent by Li Yan on the line.
