I Am a Light Novel Master in Japan Chapter 318

As dark horse works in the comics industry, the two books currently perform well in terms of contributions to magazines and single volume sales. It is precisely because of this that Shiina Mashiro and Eiri are qualified to be officially invited to this important gathering in the comics industry. middle.

"Jiangjiang!! I brought all their works here. To be honest, it's quite heavy to carry, but it's worth it to be able to sign a copy."

Hikigaya showed a bright smile, and seemed to have the same prominent fangs as Eiri. She opened her backpack and showed it to Li Yan. There was a stack of comic books inside, which seemed to be prepared.

However, when Li Yan looked at her backpack, he inadvertently saw a very familiar text. The cover was somewhat similar to the cover of the seventh volume he had written. However, before he could see it clearly, Hikigaya ducked slightly. The passers-by who came over had already put away their packages for the convenience of walking.

"Well, there are so many people here. It really deserves to be Tokyo. If I came here by myself, I would get lost very quickly."

Hikigaya looked at the various foreigners walking by and said with emotion.

"Don't worry, the road conditions seemed a bit complicated when you first came here, but after walking through it, you will quickly become familiar with the complicated road and you won't get lost. But it really doesn't matter if you come here alone, after all, you are the only one He is a junior high school student, so his family will probably be very worried if they find out."

Li Yan looked at her sideways and asked.

"It's okay. I've actually been out many times by myself. After all, I'm a junior high school student and have been to Tokyo many times. But this is my first time here in Shibuya. Even if my parents and brother knew about it, they wouldn't After all, it’s me who’s worried.”

When Hikigaya heard this, he smiled and said.

As a result, we walked relatively quickly. After following the crowds of people for a while on the pedestrian streets of Shibuya, we quickly arrived at the hotel called [Marguerite].

It was a hotel with more than ten floors high and elegant decoration. The first three floors were designed with glass interior, while the third floor and above were designed with housing. At the entrance of the hotel, many tourists and passers-by gathered. It seemed that they came here for the same purpose as Hikigaya, just to see the true face and style of the famous cartoonist.

A young man with a mask wearing a shirt and trousers, and a girl with a backpack wearing a fresh-style T-shirt and shorts faced this hotel and finally reached their destination.

"This is it, the hotel where the cartoonists' party is held. I remember it should be held on the third floor." Li Yan said to Hikigaya beside him.

"Marguerite Hotel, I finally found it, it's on the third floor...I understand!"

Hikigaya looked at the glass window on the third floor and said happily.

After she saw the group of fans standing inside the hotel, holding comic books and diaries, she suddenly said with some embarrassment: "Well, it's really late. It's only 8:30, and I feel like the good seats are already there. Occupied…”

"Then hurry up and occupy a good position. I think the number of people is not too large. If you look for it now, you should still have a chance."

"That's right, then I'll hurry up and get a good seat!"

Hikigaya understood. She hurried over with a heavy backpack on her back. But halfway through, she realized something and ran back. She bowed slightly to Li Yan, showed a bright smile and said, "Almost I forgot, thank you very much, Uesugi-senpai!"

Li Yan looked at the back of Hikigaya running past, feeling a little envious of the middle school student who had no worries. When he was this age, he never had such an opportunity to pursue comics. Who would have expected that at this moment, he would be like the Japanese second generation? Dimensional culture has an indissoluble bond.

Under the vast blue sky, he raised his head and looked at the third floor of the hotel. As a light novel writer, he went to attend the cartoonist's banquet, and he didn't know whether he would really complete Eiri's commission smoothly.

※※※

The temperature inside the hotel is quite comfortable. In the corridor on the third floor of the hotel, there is actually a group of fans waiting for their favorite cartoonist. The originally spacious corridor has an isolation zone in the middle to separate the fans from the road. , it seems that the hotel still acquiesces to the fans' support for the cartoonist.

At this moment, many popular comic writers have gathered in the contracted banquet hall on the third floor. There are veteran cartoonists who have created comics that are well-known in the streets, as well as new popular cartoonists who have just debuted and have bright prospects, as well as illustrators from various libraries. Teachers, all gathered in this venue.

It has to be said that there are very few opportunities for many popular cartoonists to gather together. It is like an advertising effect and attracts the attention of society and the market.

Li Yan's dress and age looked more like a staff member of a Wenku or comic book company. He happened to be walking behind a group of Wenku company employees, and was not noticed by the crowd. As a result, when he arrived at the front desk at the entrance of the venue, he stopped at the venue. In front of this is a wooden reception desk.

"Hello, sorry, sir, do you have an invitation letter from the company here?" A front desk employee in a suit asked politely.

"...No, the invitation letter is with my friend. I came here on behalf of a cartoonist friend of mine. She caught a cold recently, so I came to the banquet on her behalf."

Li Yan was a little nervous. He smiled awkwardly and said to the front desk employee.

However, it seems that it is quite common for cartoonists to attend on their behalf. These staff members quickly took corresponding procedures and handed Li Yan a form and said: "I understand, sir, could you please Fill in the details on this form so that we can hand it over to the customer for records."

"good."

Li Yan nodded, took a signature pen and filled in the required content in the form one by one, including the name of the original attendee, the name of the agent, the phone number, the company affiliation, the reason for the agency, etc., all were filled in carefully. complete.

Just as Li Yan was filling out the form, a junior high school student with the surname Hikigaya managed to occupy a good position from the edge of the corridor. She breathed a sigh of relief. Just when she was feeling a little happy, she accidentally saw someone filling out the form at the front desk. The figure of Li Yan.

She was slightly stunned and looked at the senior she met on the road with some curiosity as to why he was there.

Li Yan handed the filled-in list to the staff. After taking it, the staff member checked the filled-in details. When the results were confirmed, the staff member called to confirm the identity.

"Wait a moment. I'm going to confirm your identity now. Please wait a moment."

"Okay." Li Yan nodded and said.

"Please help me check the information at Sanhe Library."

"Yes, please help me check the name and phone number of Mr. Eri Kashiwagi's partner writer..."

"Uesugi Yan, whose surname is Uesugi and whose name is Yan of two fires... The information has been verified accurately and the procedures have been completed, Mr. Uesugi Yan."

“————!!”

Two or three names of [Uesugi Yan] were gradually heard by the surrounding fans and cartoonists, and their expressions changed one after another.

"...Uesugi Yan?"

"Is it the author who wrote the "Super Academy" series?!"

"real or fake!"

"Forehead……"

At the venue, the two young comic writers felt a little shocked. Looking at the strange young man wearing a mask at the front desk, they were speechless.

"...Eh? Eh!!!"

Hikigaya, a junior high school student in the fan group, was also stunned. If she hadn't seen this scene with her own eyes, she would never have thought that the unknown senior who led her was the one who actually wrote "Super Academy" author.

…

For a moment, the surrounding crowd became commotion.

[Uesugi Yan] This name, like a deep sea torpedo, suddenly exploded the tranquility of the peaceful "deep sea" banquet. Not only fans of the manga artist, including Hikigaya, paid attention to this young man Even the cartoonists attending the banquet were shocked and looked over.

"...Wait a minute, what, what's going on?"

Li Yan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that the eyes around him were quickly gathering towards him, and he suddenly became the center of attention in the venue. As a result, he still didn't understand what happened in the full public view.

Li Yan didn't know that in the first half of June, not only on the light novel forum, but also on the piviv website and the comic network, the pen name "Uesugi Yan" was almost always occupying the screen. Holding the power of public opinion for the past half month.

Today, Uesugi's status in the field of cultural creation is no longer the same.

The light novel writer Uesugi En, who has been winning awards for his latest seventh volume and is already at the peak of his fame, suddenly appeared at a banquet of manga artists. Whether it was the camp of comics writers at the banquet or the comics readers, they couldn't help but look at this "ghost" in the industry with different expressions, who was unaware of the situation...
