I Am a Light Novel Master in Japan Chapter 297

[Beep beep beep——! 】

Suddenly, Li Yan's editing system rang again, which made him stunned for a moment. He looked curiously at this unknown woman. He always felt that this woman had also appeared in the story. character?

However, the editing system has been being upgraded, and it has not been upgraded until now. It is not yet known which world this girl comes from.

"Wait a minute, um, Aoyama-san, please add a little more emotion to the miko. According to the script, the miko, Miss Musica, is very sacred and inviolable. You must integrate the mood of saving the villagers into yourself. "

Suddenly, the female director watched for a while, paused the rehearsal, and reminded Nanami Aoyama in a gentle voice.

"Ah...yes, yes!"

Nanami Aoyama suddenly became nervous, bowed quickly and said to the female director.

"Really, Qingshan, you are not suitable for acting. I always feel that when I face you, my sense of empathy has become worse." The female student playing the villager opposite said dissatisfiedly.

"I also think you don't have any sense of sanctity as a shrine maiden." The girl wearing glasses also said.

"...R-I'm sorry." Nanami Aoyama's cheeks turned red and she said to them.

"Qingshan..."

Li Yan read her name with some worry.

Rehearsals continued on the stage over there, but it seemed that the rehearsals were not going well. The female director was indeed right about Nanami Aoyama's shortcomings. If Nanami Aoyama is really a sacred witch who can slay demons, then Nanami Aoyama's performance is indeed It's a bit stiff and too tense, and there are a lot of lines, so it seems quite difficult to act well.

However, Li Yan looked at the two "female villagers" and it seemed that they were not much better. However, since they were not the main characters, and the rehearsal time was too tight, they had to see how the protagonists would perform this stage play well. .

Li Yan chose to sit back and watch these situations. With the efforts of Qingshan Qihai, perhaps this experience will silently leave a fortune for Qihai.

"...Nanami, you are so gentle." Mashiro Shiina looked at Nanami's situation. Although her expression was still peaceful, she was a little worried for Nanami and said.

Gradually, in the busy rehearsal, night came unknowingly. Li Yan was busy copying textbooks, while Mashiro and Nanami were rehearsing hard. The story seemed to be a native Japanese legend, in which a witch helped the villagers eliminate evil spirits. The story about a man-eating monster was dropped, and during the period, the group was either called to a halt or there were disagreements and quarrels among the members, but in the end, the whole story was rehearsed twice despite a lot of hard work.

Gradually, it was late at night.

Late at night, the rumbling Shinkansen train passed by at high speed. Li Yan, with his eyes closed, slept in a collective Japanese-style house with several other accompanying male family members, and was about to fall asleep.

Suddenly, he heard a slight sound of opening the door. Someone went out in the room where the female students were resting next door at this time.

"...Who?" Li Yan got up from the bed, curiously looked at the figure of the girl walking out with the mobile phone, and thought with concern.

Li Yan finally put on his coat and went out to see who was up late at night.

As a result, in the dark night, with a drizzle outside, the theater was empty.

Under the dim light, Aoyama Nanami came out of the dressing room, once again put on the costume of a miko, with a prop katana on her waist, came to the stage, and began to watch it under the dim light After the lines, I continued rehearsing alone.

"...I won't let you do anything else, you man-eating monster. I am the wandering witch goddess from the north, I use God's will to stop you...your crime! Take your head off now!" "

After rehearsing alone for a while, she finally performed the last scene again. She pulled out her samurai sword, slashed at the demon in the void, and then withdrew the sword in an awkward manner.

It seems that Nanami Aoyama has practiced her lines and movements countless times, but the temperament and aura of the demon-slayer miko still lack a bit of flavor, and she doesn't feel like she's in a drama.

"Will this... be successful?" Nanami Qingshan lowered his head, sat on the wooden board, sighed and said to himself.

"Do your drawing action again."

Suddenly, in the black screen, a young man's voice warned.

"!!"

This sound immediately made Nanami Aoyama turn blue with fright. She, who was originally afraid of the dark, fell to the ground in fright and asked hurriedly: "Who is there?!"

As a result, in the dark corner of the stage, Li Yan finally walked out of the darkness. He looked at the frightened Aoyama Nanami and said apologetically: "I'm sorry for interrupting suddenly, but as expected, that scene will happen again. Once, it’s like I’m that man-eating monster and you swing your sword at me, try it again.”

"Uh...Senior, it turns out it's you. But why are you here?" Qihai asked in surprise.

"I heard footsteps. This is a strange place, so I kept a certain amount of vigilance. I followed you out and found out that you were secretly rehearsing here alone. You are really brave. In the darkened theater, someone said It’s really weird. Although everything else can be left aside for the time being, the climax of the last scene still needs some practice. I’ll show you how to draw the katana and how to walk.”

Li Yan looked at the dark stage and auditorium, and complained with a tinge on his face. But when the conversation changed, he stretched out his hand and motioned for Nanami to hand over the katana prop to her.

"...Yes." Qingshan Nanami stood up and handed him the katana together with the scabbard.

"Perhaps you lack an expert in action guidance. Although I am not an expert, I still have some understanding of the Japanese sword drawing style..."

Li Yan took the knife and tied it around his waist like Aoyama Nanami. Then he suddenly lifted the scabbard with one hand, half squatting, and took advantage of the situation to draw the knife, as if with a rapid explosive force, trying his best to let Nanami see it. Clearly, he quickly decapitated the opponent from below, and then put the knife away neatly, with a cold look in his eyes, as if he was really killing everything with blood splattering three feet at that moment.

"..."

Qingshan Nanami was so frightened that she covered her heart with her hands and stared blankly.

"This is the fastest way to draw a sword. It is also called [Iai]. It is a technique of drawing a sword to take someone's head off guard in an instant. I have seen the masters from your country demonstrate it before, but you don't need to The training is very professional, but the momentum must be enough. After all, no matter how the plot is changed, I think that section is the most important, and I probably won’t be able to get past it.”

Li Yan returned the katana prop to Nanami Aoyama and said.

"...Um, okay, okay." Qingshan Nanami timidly took the prop knife, feeling that this knife, which was not sharp at all, was a bit dangerous at the moment, agreed.

She always felt that if the action and momentum of the knife were performed well, it should really lead to the climax of the drama.

"Thank you, senior. As expected...if I want to perform well in a drama, I still have a lot of homework to complete." Nanami Aoyama calmed down and said with a smile.

At night, I kept practicing the action of drawing the sword and feeling the momentum. After practicing for an hour, after basically mastering this action and key, Nanami finally gained some confidence.

There was still drizzle falling on the windows of the theater. The two of them sat in the empty auditorium to take a good rest and prepare to go back to their rooms.

"..."

Nanami looked at the drizzle outside the window and became distracted for a moment. She didn't know when she stopped watching the rain quietly late at night.

"Senior, although I don't know a lot about you, I start to understand more and more that Mashiro admires you so much."

During the quiet retreat, Qihai on the side smiled and said to Li Yan.

"Admiration? No, Shiina and I are friends. She is a genius, and I am an ordinary person. I should have some practices that I can give her as a reference, but worship still doesn't count."

Li Yan was slightly stunned and then said.

"Ordinary people... what senior said is a little uncomfortable. I heard some things about senior. It seems that senior has been admitted to a very good university. Although Mashiro has always asked me to ask you myself, his grades should be very good. , He must also be very smart."

Nanami Aoyama smiled bitterly and said: "I'm different. I don't have any outstanding talents at all, nor do I have a dazzling temperament. Even my grades are not very good. I have always been able to work hard to achieve the dreams I want."

In the dim light, the shadows of the trees swayed endlessly.

A gray world, a gloomy gray sky, a gray theater, and gray clothes... There seemed to be only gray and the sound of rain between heaven and earth at the moment. She lowered her head and told her powerlessness. Although she was smiling, she seemed There are also some limitations.

"...I remember that your dream was...to be a voice actor, right? I've always seen you working part-time, but your family...didn't give you enough living expenses?" Li Yan asked.

"Yes, my dream is to be a voice actor. Sure enough... my seniors also noticed that, well, my family has always thought that my dream is unrealistic. There are tens of thousands of people who choose to be voice actors every year, but after being eliminated, they can There are only a hundred people employed...let alone achievements and so on. My family doesn't give me living expenses and I have to give in."
