I Am a Light Novel Master in Japan Chapter 261

"What kind of monster are you? You've been wandering around Natsume during the day, and now you've come to his house again, but you're so sneaky. What's your purpose?" Li Yan held his cell phone and shined the flashlight on her. , asked with sharp eyes.

"...Ahem, you, what are you talking about, and who are you..."

The monster became a little unconvinced, took off its sleeves, and shouted to Li Yan.

As a result, one person and one monster finally came face to face.

In front of Li Yan was a girl wearing a purple toga, with long golden hair, and an extremely beautiful face. However, unlike humans, her lower body had a fish body, making her look like a mermaid.

"Huh?!" Li Yan's eyes widened suddenly, seeing that this legendary and beautiful race would actually appear in Natsume's home.

But the other party's reaction was even more intense than that of Li Yan. When she saw it was Li Yan, her face turned pale, and she immediately stepped back several steps, hiding behind a tree and looking at him.

"Aren't you that monster who... Bai Baitian can beat a high-level monster to paralysis with one punch?!" The mermaid girl was so frightened that tears came out and she asked in horror.

"...Um, what, that monster...is hemiplegic?" Li Yan asked with a complicated expression upon hearing this. He was afraid that he could not help but punch him and cause some trouble.

"Let's not mention these for now. It's too early to tell the cause of its hemiplegia. Who are you? What's your name? Are you coming to attack Natsume's monster? Don't think that you are a female monster. I won't attack easily. I can Not as easy to talk to as Natsume.”

Li Yan coughed a few times, and immediately changed the subject while shirking responsibility, and asked this mermaid girl.

"It's just a human being who wants me to introduce myself. What's more, how can a man like you tell you the name of a beautiful and rare mermaid like me..."

This mermaid was not convinced and hid behind a tree and protested to Li Yan. However, looking at Li Yan's silent and unresponsive expression, he became more and more frightened and spoke softer and quieter.

"Sasafune... this is my name, don't use my name indiscriminately!" the mermaid girl finally relented and said.

"Uh... I obviously haven't said anything yet." Li Yan didn't react, and the other party gave in, and he was a little confused for a moment.

However, through these conversations, Li Yan generally ruled out the harmfulness of this monster, because tsundere girls, whether human or monster, are rarely bad people... Although this theory has not been tested for too long. Rigorous argumentation.

"My name is Li Yan. As you can tell by my name, I came from a foreign country and am the senior of that guy Natsume, so I am somewhat qualified to ask you. Sasafune, answer me, are you here looking for Natsume?" What is it for?" Li Yan's eyes became serious, he looked at her and asked.

"...This, this...it's actually nothing..." The girl named Sasafune hesitated again and again, lowered her head, and whispered.

Suddenly, Natsume's voice came from inside the house: "Senior, are you in the courtyard?"

"?"

Li Yan and the mermaid girl Sasafune were stunned. Immediately, Sasafune fled outside the wall. Before leaving, he hurriedly reminded Li Yan in a low voice: "Human, don't tell anyone about my coming here."

In an instant, Sasafune disappeared without a trace.

However, after that hurried jump, when Natsume Takashi came over, he still saw the fish tail and was slightly startled.

"...Natsume, why aren't you asleep yet?" Li Yan asked with a bitter smile.

"Well, I suddenly heard someone talking in the courtyard, so I came over to take a look."

"It's okay, I'm just chatting on the phone with a friend, no need to worry about it."

Li Yan reluctantly tried to fend off Natsume Takashi, but Natsume Takashi's eyes were still looking at the figure disappearing out of the window with some concern.

In the early morning, students are walking on the way to school.

Different from the coastal boulevard on the seaside, and different from the busy school scene of subways and trams in the city, the rhythm of going to school in the countryside is quite leisurely. Walking among the mist-shrouded rice fields and mountain forests is like walking in a landscape painting. It can be regarded as the unique privilege of going to school in the countryside.

"...Last night, could the monster I met senior be her?" Natsume Takashi thought curiously as he walked on the way to school.

Sasafune is a mermaid monster whose name is listed in the "Book of Friends". Compared with so many monsters she has seen, she is basically harmless. This is also because "eating mermaid flesh and blood can lead to immortality". The remnants of the mermaid clan who were massacred by humans due to rumors, while hating humans, also formed a deep friendship with a former human girl, now an old lady from a B&B who is now in her seventies. After settling the old feud, this mermaid girl rarely appeared in front of Natsume. For some unknown reason, she suddenly came to his home at this time.

"Natsume, wait for me!"

Suddenly, a boy's voice came from behind. When Natsume Takashi turned his head to look, he found that Nishimura was running over in a hurry.

"Ah, good morning, Nishimura."

Natsume Takashi said hello with a smile.

"Well, good morning." Nishimura said with a smile.

"By the way, didn't Senior Li come here with you? Didn't he say he wanted to take a look at our school?" Nishimura asked curiously.

"Yes, but senior has already seen it yesterday. He went back to Dr. Ogura very early to report and discuss the work situation. I heard that he missed a day of school yesterday and will be sent back with double tutoring today. He probably won't have time to come here again today. Let's get over it." Natsume Takashi thought of Li Yan's grimace and said with a smile.

"Really, I always feel that it's really hard to be a top student at Dongda University. Sure enough, I still don't have the talent to be a college student." Nishimura smiled and teased.

While walking, Nishimura suddenly remembered something. He looked at Natsume and seemed a little hesitant to tell him. These inadvertent movements were noticed by Natsume Takashi.

"What's wrong, Nishimura?" Natsume Takashi asked.

"actually……"

Nishimura was silent for a while, and finally said with a heavy expression: "Natsume, do you still remember that the three of us went on a short trip last time and stayed in a B&B with pools and swamps everywhere?"

"...Ah, of course I still remember, so..." Natsume Takashi nodded and asked.

"The old lady from the B&B has passed away. She died at home just three days ago. She passed away peacefully. I want to go over there with you and Kitamoto to pay homage to the old lady."

Nishimura lowered his head slightly and said to Natsume Takashi.

A ding sounded from Natsume Takashi's consciousness.

Miss Mermaid’s friend, the old lady, passed away...

Whether they are humans or monsters, they are all creatures who are afraid of loneliness, afraid of taking the first step to break the current situation...

However, the mermaid girl who escaped from human slaughter still met the human girl who often played with her because of her loneliness. She was attached to her, hated her, and felt guilty, but finally got back together with her friend. She had left. Already...

Sasafune once again became a lonely monster...

Chapter 160 The Lonely Mermaid Lady

Early morning in the city center of Kumamoto Prefecture.

"Then I'll take my leave, teacher."

Li Yan handed over the information he had compiled last night and came out of the professor's temporary office. The speech matters related to the areas he assisted here have basically been processed, especially the remote area of ​​Natsume Takashi and his colleagues. For this reason, he specially wrote down his own thoughts and suggestions in the report, whether it was an excellent student or a poor student, In fact, they are all equal in terms of their destiny for further education. Students of the same age group should not be given up because of their region or grades.

The more students who have gone through poverty and hardship, the more they understand this. He has worked hard to fight for students with insufficient conditions. He can only wait and see how the professor will arrange it.

"Okay, now, just go back to my room and do my own thing." Li Yan looked at the wooden door of the office, thought to himself, and had no choice but to put down his uneasy mood and move forward.

Professor Ogura was called to a temporary classroom early in the morning from a distance of dozens of kilometers, so he didn't even have time to eat breakfast. It was extremely miserable. He was hungry and returned to the room carrying a bag of breakfast boxes. After putting down the computer and books from the backpack, he sat at the desk, opened his lunch box while looking at the computer, and ate delicious food that his body had been short of calories for a long time.

There was only one email today. Unfortunately, it was the first email from a certain senior. Li Yan was a little surprised and clicked to check it.
