I Am a Light Novel Master in Japan Chapter 310

"It's okay. There are still eight hours until the end of the day. Teacher Uesugi, come on." Kagurazaka Airiam clenched her fists and encouraged.

"...Okay, okay." Li Yan did not dare to tell Kagurazaka Iris that he was still 50,000 words short of progress, so he answered perfunctorily.

In eight hours, if I can write 1,500 words in one hour, I can only write 15,000 words without taking a break. No matter how I calculate it, the time is definitely not enough.

Li Yan closed his eyes and rested for a moment. He could barely hear what Kagurazaka Iris was saying to him at the moment. He was thinking about countermeasures alone in his heart. Fortunately, he had inspiration and had time recently, but writing was an activity. Relying too much on his physical condition, his heart and body were completely closed and tired, but it restricted his desire for writing progress. No one could help him in this dilemma.

At this moment, under the gray sky, the sky began to get dark. After a few muffled thunders, the raindrops gradually fell from the sky drop by drop, and it began to rain.

Just when Kagurazaka Iris was about to start the engine, suddenly, Li Yan's cell phone rang.

【Dong dong dong...】

"Huh?" Li Yan took out his mobile phone. At this time, he was a little uninterested in taking care of anything. However, after he saw the prompt, it turned out to be a call from Mashiro Shiina.

"Hello, I'm Li Yan, Shiina, do you have anything to do with me?" Li Yan answered the phone and asked.

——[Holmes, where are you? 】

Shiina Mashiro asked in a very soft voice.

"I'm at the entrance of the university, what's wrong?" After Li Yan answered, he continued to ask.

——[...After I came back, I found that Nanami was missing. 】

"Eh... Qingshan is gone? Why is she missing? Did she come back late? It's very early now, so it's normal that she didn't go back." Li Yan was stunned for a moment and asked curiously.

——[No, Nanami took leave today because she had a high fever, but she went out when I came back. 】

At the door of the open room, Shiina Mashiro's schoolbag fell to the ground. Her pair of cherry blossom-colored eyes looked around quietly. Nanami's coat was gone, and her wallet and mobile phone were also missing. It was empty and a little dim. It feels like the windows are not even closed, and the curtains are blown up and wet in the black rain outside...

"What, Qingshan is gone!" Li Yan asked in shock.

When she was listening to Li Yan's answer, Kagurazaka Iris generally understood the content of the conversation. She also remembered the female high school student named Aoyama Nanami, and even remembered that the girl's ambition was The voice actor came and could keep up with the rhythm at first, but suddenly, Li Yan was surprised that the girl named Aoyama Nanami was missing. She was suddenly in a fog, staring at Li Yan blankly. , I don’t understand what’s going on at all.

"So, what happened?" Kagurazaka Iris asked curiously.

——[I have already asked Nanami’s classmates, it seems...it is an audition for an animation company. 】

After Shiina Mashiro looked at Line's reply, she continued to stand in the dark room and spoke to Li Yan.

"..." Li Yan suddenly fell silent.

"Eh?" Kagurazaka Iris looked at him curiously, noticing that Li Yan's expression was complicated and that something was not good.

The sound of rain pattered against the car window. Li Yan looked at the rainwater that was constantly flowing down. After hearing the address of the animation production company that Mashiro Shiina gave, he seemed to have woken up from a dream. He stopped talking and looked nervous. He said to Kagurazaka Airi: "Miss Kagurazaka, go to that company called XXX Animation Company now, the sooner the better!"

"Eh... But, Mr. Uesugi, your work..." Kagurazaka Iris felt a little embarrassed and asked curiously.

"No, as for the work, it doesn't matter if I apologize to the readers. I will try my best to complete it, but now..."

On a rainy day with lightning and thunder, the streets looked a little desolate and chilly, and the whistling leaves were swaying. In a distant animation company, a girl wearing a mask listened blankly to a staff member's announcement. She was stunned there, amidst the cheers of several other newcomers, some wet paper in her hand fell to the ground together with the raindrops on her clothes...

The business car was driving in heavy rain. Li Yan tried to call Qihai's phone number, but couldn't get through.

"..."

He looked at the call notification on his cell phone with annoyance, and looked up at the empty sidewalk with worry.

——[My dream is to be a voice actor. 】

——[However, it is really difficult. As far as I know... there are 300,000 people in Japan who want to become voice actors, but the number of people whose names actually appear on the screen is only about 300, which can be said to be the real minority. 】

——[No matter how many difficulties there are, a dream is a dream. I believe that one day I will really stand in the dubbing studio and use my own voice to inject the soul of a character without a voice. This will be a great sense of accomplishment. 】

In the memory, Nanami Aoyama's bright smile with longing flashes constantly. In the theater, in such a dark place, when she said that sentence, her eyes seemed to light up...

As a result, Li Yan also secretly placed his unfulfilled dreams on Qihai...

People who work hard may not be rewarded, which is a very cruel thing.

"How can a person with a fever win in such a competitive vocal selection... It's raining so heavily... Qingshan, are you okay?"

Li Yan looked at the vast black rain and thought sadly.

※※※

After more than 20 minutes' journey, Li Yan and Kagurazaka Iris hurried to the floor where the XXXX animation company was located in the heavy rain. However, when they asked the front desk, they found that the selection of new voice actors had ended. .

"So, has a student named Nanami Aoyama been here?" Kagurazaka Iris was very good at such occasions and asked politely and competently.

"Qingshan...wait a moment, let me check the information...yes, there is such a student who came to audition, but he has already gone back."

The woman at the front desk said to Kagurazaka Iris.

"That's right. I'm sorry. I'm the teacher of that student. I originally came to pick her up, but she had a fever today. I wonder... is she lucky enough to be hired by your company?"

Kagurazaka Iris asked a little nervously about the information about the receptionist.

Li Yan stood aside and soon saw a piece of paper lying on a seat not far away in the corridor. It seemed to be a registration form. He walked over and picked it up.

"..." Li Yan saw this and was speechless.

"I'm sorry, because that student's condition is very unstable and his voice cannot be heard clearly, so he was not hired. Even though a few have been hired now, they are still a long way from becoming an official voice actor, and they have to be eliminated again. If most of the candidates are eliminated, I hope that one student will not take it to heart as there are still many opportunities to try."

The front desk staff hesitated for a while, then she showed an awkward smile and said to Kagurazaka Airi.

"..."

Kagurazaka Iris' face became a little hesitant and sad, and she turned back to look at Li Yan.

"She shouldn't have gone far, Miss Kagurazaka. If we didn't see her on the road we came here, we probably went to the subway entrance on the other side. I want to go check on her."

Li Yan put the application form that was wet and seemed to have lost its color into his pocket, and said to Kagurazaka Iris with a serious expression.

"...I'll be there later." Kagurazaka Iris hesitated for a moment, showed a smile, and said to him.

Seeing the worried look on Li Yan's face, she suddenly recalled a similar situation a year ago.

There was also a person who ran into trouble after having a fever and disrupted a group of authors at Sanhe Library. It was said that he was found more than ten kilometers away. This incident still makes her feel incredible.

However, this time, she saw Li Yan's strong sense of worry, and she seemed to be able to complete the entire experience of the "disappearance process"...

"I hope that this time, like the last time, I can get her back, Mr. Uesugi En." Kagurazaka Iris exhaled slightly, showing a faint helpless smile, looking at his leaving back, thinking quietly to himself .

In the heavy rain, Li Yan, holding an umbrella, hurriedly looked for that figure in the dark rainy sky. In fact, it was quite easy to find people on this road, because in such heavy rain weather, there were not many people on the street.

"Qingshan!"
