I Am a Light Novel Master in Japan Chapter 253

Sawamura Eiri said with a smile.

"Really, but it's only been ten minutes since you came here. How come you have created so many characters and settings?" Li Yan was a little surprised. He turned the next page and looked at the design of a female character. Determined, asked.

"Actually, these character settings and appearances have been set in the works that you have passed before. They can be easily modified and used. It takes more than ten minutes to draw a draft." Yinglili During the explanation, when he talked about his points of interest, his eyes became sharp. He looked at Li Yan and said with a smile.

"Indeed, some interesting settings should be well preserved. Often the initial inspiration is the most interesting." Li Yan understood immediately and nodded.

Li Yan directly turned to the penultimate page, and as a result, he saw the opponent from the previous [God] appeared.

"We studied together in a world-famous culinary school in England. Our father is an Interpol police officer. Because he is extremely smart, he has always helped his father solve various cases. Because British food is too unpalatable, I was inspired to hear international students collectively complain about British food when I was in high school. He devoted his ambition to the culinary world and came to Japan to study, but due to various incidents, he lived in an apartment with the male protagonist and J. He secretly suspected that J was involved in international food cult activities and was good at scientific cooking methods."

Eiri saw the last part of the character chapter and immediately smiled and explained again.

"Yinglili, I should say that I am looking forward to the day when your comics are published. I will definitely buy the whole set. I suddenly have a strong interest in your works. Please continue to draw well."

Li Yan suddenly raised his head, especially since he had seen a similar work. He always felt that he wanted to see the cooking story created by Ying Lili. He always felt that a work with such a setting and painting style should be very interesting. Marketing.

"whee……"

Ying Lili smiled shyly, then turned the last page for Li Yan and said, "The key setting is on the last page. The story is based on the characters, but the way of expression is also very important. I also After thinking about how to exaggerate and highlight the characteristics after eating delicious food, it will make the story more interesting and vivid."

The last page in front of Li Yan showed the female character on the previous two pages eating the food, covering her chest, blushing, and naked, with her key parts reaching climax under the holy light...

"Is this the reaction after eating the food?" Li Yan asked with a cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.

"That's right, isn't it great?" Ying Lili asked with a smile while holding the drawing with the holy light mosaic.

※※※

After talking to Sayuri Sawamura on the phone, Eiri took advantage of her inspiration and spent the morning and afternoon in Li Yan's room perfecting the settings of the work, the story outline, and the character settings. Immersed in the excitement of creation, the preparations for the comic were finally basically completed. With only more than ten days left before the Newcomer Award in May, Eiri finally found the inspiration and story that might defeat Mashiro Shiina.

When Ying Lili exhaled, she looked at the sky on the balcony in front of her and realized that it was already dusk. She was shocked. Unknowingly, the whole day passed through her paintbrush like this.

Opposite her, Li Yan had been reviewing a pile of reference books densely packed with formulas. He noticed that Ying Lili had stopped writing and asked, "Has it been completed?"

"Yeah, I unconsciously overdid it. I've basically finished the sketch for the first episode. I'll go back and fix it a little bit and then I'll finish the first episode of my new work."

Yinglili couldn't help but stretch her waist and raise her hands, but she couldn't raise her chest and said with a bitter smile.

"The basic work has been completed. Huh... I suddenly feel a little tired. But I am really lucky today. Thanks to the invitation from the otaku Li in the morning, I saw that cooking can be so interesting. Today's lunch is also There is...a drink with only tea stems, which is also the source of my creation. Thank you very much."

Yinglili put the drawings into her document bag, faced the sunset from the balcony, showed a warm smile, and said thank you.

"...No, it's just a rebalancing measure." Li Yan was stunned for a moment, and then, after thinking for a while, he answered.

"Rebalancing? What rebalancing? Don't tell me anything about physics. I'll get annoyed." Ying Lili reminded her in a low voice with a straight face.

"It's not physical, but a competition between you and Shiina Mashiro. Shiina Mashiro had some of my tips and guidance before his creation. Although it was an inadvertent interference, it has violated the agreement promised to you two. So. If this day can help you in terms of creation, it will be a kind of rebalancing. However, if it is really possible, I just hope that you will each simply create the works you like..."

Li Yan looked helpless, looked at Ying Lili and said.

"...Well, although that's the case, but otaku Li, you take your new work too seriously. You have no responsibility here. Neither she nor I use painting to do it." What determines the outcome is originally the competition between our industries. Just like your experience with Kasumigaoka, industries compete with each other, and I also enjoy it."

Ying Lili turned her head slightly, closed her eyes and thought, showing a faint smile, and said comfortingly.

"..." Li Yan was silent. Ying Lili's words were indeed true, but after all, he was also slightly involved. Now that both parties are ready, he didn't dare to think about how he would face that failure after the result of the game came out. of the party...

"Okay, just think about your homework. Who are you? You know how to worry... You old thief, I'm leaving. You have to go home early." Yinglili He stood up, picked up his briefcase, and said to Li Yan.

"By the way, these reference books are too heavy. Please help me deliver them by courier. I'll pay for the postage first." When Ying Lili was about to pack the books on the table, she suddenly felt that the journey was far away, so she simply put them next to Li Yan. By the way, use express delivery to reduce the burden.

"Um... Speaking of Yinglili, I'm a little curious. If you draw comics, you have information about these dishes. What information did you use as a reference when you drew the book?"

Li Yan looked at the thick stack of books and asked casually.

"Oh~~~ Do you want to know?" Yinglili asked with a wicked smile.

"I don't want to anymore."

Li Yan was also about to leave Ying Lili. The two of them came to the door. When they just opened the door, suddenly, the girl standing at the end of the stairs in the corridor happened to look over. As a result, I saw Li Yan and Ying Lili together.

"..."

Yinglili didn't know why, but she suddenly became nervous.

"Good morning." Shiina Mashiro nodded slightly and said to Li Yan and Eirili expressionlessly.

"It's already afternoon..." Li Yan looked at her with a gloomy mood and said.

It can be seen from her red face that Zhenbai seems to have just recovered from her high fever and has regained her energy. She has been sleeping until now before she gets up. She is still holding the bag from the drugstore in her hand, and she seems to have gone downstairs to do some shopping.

Within a month of living in One Yuan Apartment, Li Yan kept asking about Shiina's efforts from Nanami Aoyama.

In the first week, I seemed to have barely mastered how to operate the washing machine and tidy up my room. In the second week, I learned how to pay for things with Nanami. In the third week, I finally learned to take the bus and subway... and in the fourth week, I was able to cook instant noodles in the kitchen. Like a newborn baby who has just learned how to live, the snow-white Shiina Mashiro has been working hard to implement the standards set by Li Yan for her, and has made significant progress... although she occasionally makes serious mistakes.

"Has your fever gone away?" Li Yan reached out and touched Mashiro Shiina's forehead and asked.

"No problem, you can go back to the painting." Mashiro Shiina calmly answered with a picture-like artistic conception.

"...Eh? Do you have a fever? Do you want to take a rest?" Eiri noticed something strange about Mashiro Shiina and asked worriedly.

"No, I have to keep painting with all my strength... My opponent is Sawamura, and I don't have time to rest."

Shiina Mashiro shook her head slightly and said.

Eiri was slightly stunned, looking at Shiina Mashiro with a calm face in surprise, but she seemed to understand what Mashiro meant, and said with a smile: "Yes, go all out to determine the winner, Shiina."

Under the light of dusk, the golden world, the golden long hair, and the golden young girls never said a word to each other. One went down the stairs, and the other went up the stairs, and began to prepare themselves with all their strength. s work.

In Li Yan's eyes, there was no sound, no smoke or swords, but it was as exciting as witnessing the duel between the Knights of the Round Table in ancient England.

This was the last time Shiina Mashiro and Sawamura Eri met each other before the results of the manga newcomer competition were announced...

Chapter 156 The Cartoonist’s Victory Sign

University of Tokyo, Professional Classroom, East Ward Teaching Building.

"Well, I have read everyone's papers. You are worthy of being students who graduated from high schools. The papers you wrote are quite high-quality for first-year college students. Although a few students seem to be a little bit incompetent. I completed the tasks assigned by the teacher carefully, but basically I passed the assessment this time.”

In the small classroom, the gray-haired professor in his sixties looked at the twenty or so students he was responsible for teaching and said.

With a slender and lean body, eager eyes, and a white beard in the style of Einstein, this person is Dr. Kenichi Ogura, a famous scientist hired back from the United States by the University of Tokyo in recent years.

Professor Ogura Kenichi, the examiner who once questioned Li Yan's academic ability in person, is also a top professor of physics at the University of Tokyo, an academician of the Academy of Sciences employed by countries such as Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States, and has a deep academic reputation in physics. He is respected as a national treasure and an advocate of academics without borders. However, professors at the same level usually teach graduate students, but this scientist in his fifties insists on starting from undergraduates. rise.

His eyes seemed to have unparalleled power and spiritual power, which made the students who were studying there feel a little frightened by this tutor. Including Li Yan, who was especially targeted by him, they all meticulously took down what the other person said in his school. Every word.

When he just mentioned that a few students were not paying attention, Professor Ogura Kenichi looked directly at Li Yan through Hagimura Suzu who shivered, making Li Yan sit as if he was facing the air conditioner. It was still bitingly cold, so I pretended to lower my head and try to take notes.
