I Am a Light Novel Master in Japan Chapter 305

Kagurazaka Iris is his friend, but the prerequisite is that he is an important editor of Sanwa Bunko, a workaholic who basically puts his mind on work...

※※※

In a studio on the second floor of a manor villa that had been renovated, Sawamura Eiri woke up and saw two emails from Kagurazaka Iris and Li Yan, both of which were requests. She redesigned the illustration thing.

"Ah...what happened..."

Yinglili suddenly froze in front of the computer, as if she had completely lost consciousness.

You know, the illustrations for Uesugi's seventh volume took her several weeks to conceive and design, but she ended up redrawing them just because the author wanted to rewrite them...

Today, she agreed to participate in a club activity for making doujin game CGs, and by the way, she went shopping with Kasumigaoka Shiu and Kato Megumi... Although her partner was not an interesting person, as long as she was a girl, who wouldn't? What about shopping?

"Otaku Li, what are you doing?!" Ying Lili immediately held her head and shouted.

As a result, a phone call came at around 8:10 in the morning, and Yingli answered the call in annoyance. It turned out that the call came from the author who she wanted to tear her body apart at the moment.

"Hey, Otaku Li, you called just in time. I have a very annoying thing to ask you. You should know what I'm going to ask. What is rewriting and what is redesigning? You know... How much time did it take me to draw? I was imagining the illustrations even when I was taking a shower, sleeping, and eating. You guys just rewrite when you tell me to rewrite. How could I possibly draw it in these days!"

As soon as Eri Sawamura answered the phone, she suddenly seemed to explode. She spoke very fast, and the full anger in her heart was immediately vented. Li Yan couldn't even say a word there.

[Um, Yinglili, don’t be angry just yet. It was indeed my negligence this time... However, I have already thought about it. I have to rewrite it, and I am also working hard to write it before the deadline. Suppose I have already sent it to you. As an apology, I will treat you to McDonald’s next time.]

Li Yan initially considered treating Ying Lili to a British steak, but after feeling a chill in his wallet, he changed his mind and said the name of McDonald's.

"What, it's McDonald's again. Although I do have British ancestry, I definitely don't like eating burgers!"

Sawamura Eiri's fair cheeks were a little red with anger, but when the topic changed, she calmed down a little, sighed, narrowed her eyes and asked displeasedly: "So what's the matter? I'm stimulated. You obviously always think about this." Isn’t the veteran author who has taken a hiatus tired of writing even one more word? How come he suddenly rewrites his work?”

As a result, on the other side of the phone, Li Yan told Yinglili about his thoughts and the same gambling method. Yinglili's beautiful eyes opened slightly as she listened to Li Yan's explanation.

She could indeed understand Li Yan's mood, but taking the gamble at this time would be too detrimental to their combination.

However, Yinglili was silent for a moment, closed her eyes, and said with a dissatisfied expression: "Okay, okay, I understand. If you want to bet, I promise you to redraw it, but there is only one condition... ...Well, there is only one thing, that is, don’t lose the bet. If you lose, I will never forgive you, you know?”

She was about to turn off her phone, but suddenly she remembered something, glanced out the window, and added: "Remember your McDonald's on Saturday next week. I just want to eat chicken wings, drumsticks, and Coke."

After finishing the conversation, Yinglili reluctantly sent a message asking for leave to the [blessing software] club, then put on her "battle", started to take out the drawing paper, opened the document sent by Li Yan, and looked at it carefully Understand the design settings and requirements for the illustrations inside.

As a result, the first few pictures were okay, but the illustration requirements in the middle caught Ying Lili's attention. It seemed that Li Yan had indeed figured out the direction of the plot, which made her partner a little confused about what he was going to write. What, it wasn’t until the setting of the last picture that Yinglili woke up from a dream and immediately understood the general context of the story.

"It's true... I added a lot of bets, Otaku Li..." Ying Lili thought complicatedly in her heart. She always felt that this kind of writing was quite powerful. She couldn't guess it before reading the entire book. No matter what the quality of this volume would be, she could only do her best to help Li Yan improve his chips before the results came out.

In Eiriri's studio, Sayuri Sawamura was just about to start working on illustrations. However, when she passed by Eiriri's studio, she heard Eiriri in the room, murmuring and complaining about the sudden sudden change while imagining ideas. Adapted plan, immersed in creation there...

Sayuri quietly opened the door a small crack and looked at it. After showing a smile, she closed it tightly and did not dare to disturb.

It seems that the young man who has encountered a bottleneck really intends to break through himself and write a more exciting story.

…

On the other side, in an apartment building in Tokyo, Li Yan put down the phone and once again began to concentrate on completing the novel.

Because this rewritten novel is a new inspiration that he has been enlightened by after a year of experience. His understanding of life and his understanding of emotions have all undergone different changes, and it happens to be the seventh volume. When similar stories turned around, he wanted to write a more profound, rather than dramatic story. As he himself said to Mashiro, all inspiration comes from life, and only inspiration combined with life can better impress himself and himself. The heart of the reader.

However, it is indeed good to have the help of editor Kagurazaka Iris in terms of diet, which allows him to immerse himself in the world of writing. However, the editor's eyes that watch him from time to time behind the scenes make Li Yan rush I can't relax completely when I feel like I'm carrying a ray of light on my back. This scene always feels like a parent staring at a child doing homework.

After finishing the sumptuous lunch at noon, Kagurazaka Iris drank the coffee drink he ordered and continued to work on the other side.

As a result, she didn't know that the young man in front of her who was writing secretly turned his head and looked at her with his cunning eyes. That expression brought out his reputation as an "old thief". Incisively and vividly.

There is nothing more uncomfortable than being blocked by your own editor for updates.

It was originally peaceful at noon, but suddenly, a very soft music came from the high-quality speakers of Li Yan's laptop.

"Hey, Mr. Uesugi, are you listening to music?" Kagurazaka Iris raised his head and asked curiously.

"Yes, when I write, to improve my concentration, I usually listen to music. This calm and soft music can make me feel calmer," Li Yan said with a smile.

"So that's it, but after listening to it for a while, I feel a little sleepy." Kagurazaka Iris yawned and smiled helplessly and said.

After a brief chat, the two began to work separately again, but after more than ten minutes, Li Yan turned his head secretly again, and his tired eyes with dark circles once again showed a cunning cold light, staring at some people. Kagurazaka Iris taking a nap.

"That's it. As expected of Miss Kagurazaka, she was able to withstand the hypnosis of this lullaby for more than ten minutes... I almost couldn't stand it anymore. As expected, Miss Kagurazaka didn't do anything last night. Not sleeping, what a strong willpower..."

Li Yan thought with secret admiration.

As a result, about ten minutes later, Kagurazaka Iris, who was leaning against the corner, fell into sleep quickly as Li Yan had planned, without having time to put down the pen in his hand.

"S-succeeded!"

Li Yan suddenly showed a successful expression and became elated. He saved the first draft of about 40,000 words, stood up secretly, stared at Kagurazaka Iris with his eager and bloodshot eyes, and walked away gently. past.

He stuffed Kagurazaka Iris's ears with two paper balls. After finally seeing that his plan was completed, he breathed a sigh of relief. He immediately took his belongings and keys, slipped out of the door quietly, and locked his room properly. door.

Before two o'clock this afternoon, he was going to the High School Affiliated to Suimei University of Arts to watch the performances of Mashiro Shiina and Nanami Aoyama. After all, last week, as a witness, he watched the excellent performance of the two girls and was always impressed. She was reminded by Shiina Mashiro and Nanami to go there, but if she went to see them, the consequences would probably be serious.

"Although if Miss Kagurazaka discovers that I sneak out, the consequences will be very serious, but... forget it, after the stage play is over, I will come back as soon as possible to deliver the work..."

Li Yan looked at his door with complicated emotions, not daring to think about it later.

※※※

At the gate of Tokyo Suimei University of the Arts Affiliated High School, on the side of a busy road, many busy students gathered, as well as alumni who came to participate in the school festival and students from other schools.

Li Yan took an address written to him by Mashiro Shiina and found the school gate. After comparing it with the name of the school, he walked in with confidence.

After a simple registration at the school gate, Li Yan just walked into the school and wanted to call Mashiro Shiina when he heard a familiar girl's voice.

"Hey, Senior Li, is that you?"

Li Yan was stunned for a moment and looked over. Among the huge crowd, Qingshan Nanhai trudged over with a pile of heavy-looking items. After she recognized it was Li Yan, she smiled happily and waved to Li Yan. stand up.

"Here, here, senior." Nanami said with a smile.

After dodging a few pedestrians who were passing by in a hurry, Li Yan walked over. He looked around in shock and said, "I always feel that there are a lot of people from other schools participating in the school festival."

"Yes, after all, Suimei University of the Arts is also a good university. Especially the stage plays have always been highly praised by the outside world. There are fewer people in the morning and more in the afternoon." Nanami Aoyama said with a smile.

After chatting briefly for a while, Nanami Aoyama took Li Yan to the venue where the stage play was about to begin, which was the school auditorium.

In the morning, several stage plays had already been performed. I heard that the audience's response was quite good. Li Yan helped Nanami carry props and clothes. Starting from ten o'clock in the morning, Nanami joined Mashiro and several other friends. After moving and arranging the scene props, their stage play was scheduled for the fifth show, which was around four o'clock in the afternoon. It was scheduled at such an embarrassing and sleepy time, and it was regarded as a program abandoned by the school.

However, on the way to the auditorium, several students passed by him and Nanami, with some mocking and amused expressions on their faces, which attracted Li Yan's attention. However, after Li Yan took a closer look, he realized that They were the group of people who formed a team with Nanami before and then broke up on bad terms.

Aoyama Nanami frowned slightly, lowered her head with a stern face, and continued walking towards the auditorium without looking at each other.

"Aha... They seem to have joined other crews and arranged the third stage performance in the afternoon..." Nanami Aoyama smiled awkwardly and explained to Li Yan.
