I Am a Light Novel Master in Japan Chapter 276
"Well, I accidentally overheard your conversation. That's what happened. I deeply understand the hard work of the police officers. Thank you very much for guarding the order of Tokyo. I will do my job very seriously. For two months , within two months, the new volume of the light novel will be published..."
Li Yan turned around slowly, with a serious look on his face, and pretended to be calm as he thanked and promised them.
"What, two more months?" the young male police officer asked in surprise.
"...One month, one month is enough, so that's it, please keep working hard."
Li Yan's face turned blue and he immediately changed his words. When he saw that the expressions of the three police officers seemed to have softened, he breathed a sigh of relief, but he felt like crying without tears. He turned around and closed his eyes in hatred. .
After passing a commercial street, Li Yan started to take a detour and came to a quiet neighborhood. On a common ramp, he took out a mask and a hat from the bag and put them on. He was very upset at the moment. As expected, he was Things weren't that simple once the police were on their radar, and now his readership component was almost too bad.
The ordinary human readers who are prone to going berserk, the monster readers who give him a sobering drug every time, and the readers who control the police station of a district... This is no longer writing a novel, but taking risks.
"One month, one month to write the remaining 70,000 words, how can I finish it..." Li Yan was helplessly frustrated, thinking to himself as he walked.
As a result, when he walked up a slope, a strong wind suddenly blew over his body from behind, and his hat suddenly flew into the air.
On the long ramp, in the May season when cherry blossoms were flying, the key hat that obscured the face of the old thief flew to the bottom of the ramp.
The passing girl saw this and hurriedly quickened her pace, caught up and picked up the hat.
She was wearing a white dress and a beret. The red coat was swaying slightly in the wind. She seemed to be a high school student. She picked up this ordinary duckbill hat while carrying magazines and clothes she bought in the shopping area. After that, he turned around and looked up at the young man wearing a mask standing at the top of the hillside.
The brief moment when the cherry blossoms were falling was so beautiful. The young man wearing a white coat, suit and black pants looked at her in surprise, as if he had seen her before, and as if he had met her by chance...
The girl met a certain "master" known as the light novel industry.
Chapter 167 Li Yan and Kato Megumi
In the May season when cherry blossoms are flying, on a deserted street in the Koto district of Tokyo, under a steep hillside, the girl with beautiful short black hair and a delicate face picked up this ordinary duck-bill hat. After breathing a little sigh of relief, she turned around, raised her head seriously, and looked at the young man with short hair who was standing high on the ramp and looking at her quietly.
For a moment, everything became very quiet, and the girl's heart suddenly became quiet.
She didn't know why, but when she just looked at this young man, she felt an incredible feeling. From his appearance, she could probably tell that he was a serious and simple person, but that feeling couldn't be said. Her temperament and gaze seemed to come from a world she didn't recognize.
"Am I... a little too sensitive?" the girl wondered curiously.
She walked up the ramp, and the young man came towards her.
"Your hat, sir," she said, handing it to him.
"I'm sorry to ask you to help pick up the hat. Thank you very much." Li Yan took his duck-billed hat and nodded in thanks.
"You're welcome. The wind is usually stronger on this side. So, that's it. Goodbye." After this gentle and approachable girl bowed slightly, she smiled politely again and said to Li The heat passed by.
"..."
Li Yan turned his head slightly and looked around. In the colorful pink world, this girl was walking quietly on this quiet road carrying shopping bags. He thought to himself: "She is really a beautiful girl, and she is so helpful." I picked up the hat, and he has a good personality. Did he just come back from shopping? There are magazines of celebrities and idols in the bag. It seems that he has similar preferences to other girls, and they all have a high interest in fashion and celebrities."
Just when Li Yan was about to get up and move forward, he felt a strange hot breath quickly spread around his body, causing him extreme pain. He suddenly stood on the spot, unable to move.
"My whole body is burning and I can't move..." Li Yan frowned and thought to himself feeling uncomfortable.
【Plop, pop...】
The sound of the beating heart could even be heard by himself, but soon, the burning sensation on his body suddenly disappeared, as if the feeling just now was an illusion, which made Li Yan feel inexplicable.
"What, what's going on?"
Li Yan was stunned for a moment, then touched his body with both hands, and after confirming that he was not injured in any way, he breathed a sigh of relief. He immediately put on this hat and continued to move forward with a doubtful attitude.
On the long slope surrounded by houses on both sides, the wind was a bit strong, and a long line of cherry blossom petals were flying in the sky. The short-haired girl who was holding a mobile phone and looking down at it while walking slowly, and the one with a puzzled face. The young people who understood and were in a hurry gradually parted ways.
※※※
On the edge of a quiet highway street, a Western restaurant is located under the shade of green trees. It has three glass walls. Through that glass wall, you can see the lush green leaf forest, making customers feel like they are in nature. It's like dining quietly surrounded by people, which makes people feel at ease and comfortable.
This is Shibuya's favorite restaurant. The prices on the menu are not expensive, and the wooden floor, clean and tidy interior, and the green atmosphere make her come here after studying and working. At that time, I felt really relaxed.
After no less than five invitations, this time she managed to get the invitation through Kagurazaka Iris's relationship. Shibuya finally wanted to come over for an interview with the legendary Uesugi Yan. She felt a little complicated. After all, about Uesugi Yan. There are all kinds of rumors on the Internet, most of them are negative news, and it is not clear what kind of person the author is.
"Perhaps he is really a fat otaku who plays HGAME all day long, has an anime figurine in his room, and likes to eat junk food..." Shibuya sat on the bench by the window. When he thought of this hypothesis, His face suddenly turned blue, and he thought uneasily.
This time, I took so much trouble to invite this writer because she suddenly took over the work of her first movie in her life.
She had been doing well in drama training, but when she took the script and started performing, she deeply realized that she could not perfectly capture the key points of the character of "Xin Heng Ning Ning" in a simple script. As a result, as she became increasingly confused, she thought of contacting the author of the original work to further verify the more detailed character settings and personality emotions of the character she played.
As she herself mentioned, if she really takes over this job, she will definitely do her best to do it well.
"……too slow."
Shibuya took out her mobile phone from her small pocket. After checking it, she realized that it was already 9:45. Her elegant face showed a bit of dissatisfaction, and she complained: "This writer is not just pretentious. It’s so big and so difficult to invite, but I ended up being late even after I agreed to the invitation. It’s exactly what the rumors on the Internet said, and my moral character is a little bit bad.”
Just as Shibuya finished speaking, he happened to pass by the young man who was looking for someone. As a result, he heard this complaint and felt a little embarrassed for a moment. After the other party was silent for a while, he said to Shibuya: "Shibuya Miss, long time no see, and I'm sorry... I encountered something on the road today that delayed my time, so I'm late, I hope you won't be offended."
A look of astonishment suddenly appeared on Shibuya's face, and then she raised her head and looked over. To her surprise, what appeared in front of her eyes was the young man she had met in the hotel some time ago, that is, that young man. The senior in the entertainment industry immediately asked curiously: "Hey, I remember... aren't you Sawanooka-senpai? Why are you here?"
"this……"
Li Yan remembered that when he was waiting for the elevator with Shibuya, he used a fake name to get through. This time he was invited to come, so he was ready to reveal his identity and said directly to Shibuya: "Sorry, Speaking of which...I used a false name to lie to Miss Shibuya before. The situation at that time was quite special. I hope you can forgive me. My name is not Sawagaoka Izumi. I am Uesugi En, also known as "Super Academy War" "The original author of "."
"Eh……"
After Shibuya heard this, he blinked his eyes immediately and did not react for a moment. In her impression, the fat otaku writer who wrote light novels was completely inconsistent with the person in front of her with a delicate face, special temperament and serious personality.
"...Uh, s-senpai...is this Mr. Uesugi En?!" Shibuya immediately widened his eyes and asked with a panicked tone in his voice.
Her fair and beautiful cheeks turned crimson immediately, because she clearly remembered that she had belittled that light novel in front of this "senior". Wasn't this the same as directly speaking bad words in front of the original author?
Li Yan felt that the atmosphere was suddenly awkward, and then he felt that he should immediately get over this topic and asked: "Yes, I am Uesugi Yan, Miss Shibuya, can I sit here?"
"Of course, please take a seat." Shibuya reacted, her blushing face turned even redder, and she lost her etiquette again and said nervously.
"I'm really sorry. My surname is Shibuya and my single name is Rin. Nice to meet you, senior... no, Uesugi-sensei."
The girl named Shibuya Rin finally fully introduced her name and said seriously.
"Yes, I remember it, Miss Shibuya Rin." Li Yan sat on the seat on the other side and said.
"Well, um, senior... No, Mr. Uesugi, I seem to have said something very rude in front of you before. I'm really sorry, and I hope you can forgive me." Shibuya Rin's tone was hesitant. Apologize to Li Yan.
"...I remember, are you referring to the opinion you told me about my novel before? There is nothing offensive about this matter at all. Readers are qualified to comment on the author's work, and You are still a girl, so it’s understandable that you don’t like novels with passionate themes.”
Li Yan was thinking about what Shibuya Rin was referring to at first, but when he remembered it, he shook his head and explained with a smile.
"It would be great if that's the case... I thought you would be scolded by Uesugi En-sensei this time. I didn't expect that the senior is Uesugi En-sensei. I didn't expect this to be the case at all. But, since I am in front of your Aren't you angry when someone comments on your work like this... Moreover, I heard that the banquet was actually for the original author to select the most suitable actor. Is this true? If it is true... why bother? How about casting an actor as rude as me?”
Shibuya Rin was slightly relieved. She seemed to have a lot of doubts and asked.
