I Am a Light Novel Master in Japan Chapter 320

"Yes..." Mashiro Shiina took over his comic book and wrote the pen name [Mio Aoyama] with a pen. The handwriting was very elegant. Basically, Li Yan's mission was completed.

Li Yan returned his schoolbag to the junior high school girl waiting outside. As a result, six of the seven works were signed, which was almost a big gain. The girl named Biqigu was extremely happy. After thanking him repeatedly, he obeyed Li Yan's suggestion is to go back to Chiba as early as possible.

Li Yan looked at the back of this junior high school girl. For some reason, he missed the only student in the training class, Tsurumi Rumi. He hadn't seen her for a while. He didn't know if her rejection had been alleviated. …

When they returned to the banquet, Shiina Mashiro sat on a vacant banquet and waited for Li Yan to come back. She looked sleepy, dozing off and wiping her eyes with her hands.

"..."

Li Yan saw this and was a little curious as to whether Mashiro had been working overtime on drawing comics last night. The level of sleepiness meant that he really didn't sleep for a few hours last night.

"Mr. Uesugi...is this the talented painter girl from England that Mr. Izumi mentioned?"

Suddenly, the voice of Yamada Ilf came from behind Li Yan again. She broke away from the circle of cartoonists and company personnel. When she looked for Li Yan again, she found that this person was very suitable for Izumi Masamune. The so-called talented British painter.

"Ah, you have never met Shii... Teacher Aoyama, right? She is the genius Masamune mentioned. A painting can be sold for tens of millions or hundreds of millions." Li Yan looked at Yamada Ilf , said.

"It's incredible... Even if I write so many words now, they are not as valuable as a painting she painted..."

Yamada Ilf's eyes widened and she whispered.

She quietly looked at the dozing girl who was of European descent like herself, and after a while, she suddenly said with emotion: "Not to mention she is very beautiful, but when she dozed like this, she felt like a beauty who came out of a painting. Well, she is obviously of mixed race, but God gave her the golden color that Europeans are most proud of, and also gave her the delicate appearance of the East, and she also has the world's genius level painting talent. It is really...it is a blank in itself, from the hand of God It’s a work of art.”

"..."

Li Yan looked at Ilf Yamada with some surprise. He didn't know whether he was commenting on a person or a painting.

But he didn't know why. As he looked at the sleeping girl, none of Yamada's words gave him any room to refute.

…

After asking the staff, he learned that there was a simple room where female employees rested, which could be temporarily borrowed for this sleep-deprived cartoonist to rest. After thanking Li Yan, he took Mashiro to a quieter room for employees to rest. In the room, let her have a good sleep.

The employees' rest room is very simple. There are two doorways for easy access to the front desk and the banquet venue. There is no door, and it is only covered by a traditional Japanese blue curtain with the company's logo printed on it. There are two rows of sofas and a drinking station inside. It's basically the same as the lounge in an outside restaurant.

Shiina Mashiro was sleeping on the sofa, and Li Yan was sitting on the seat outside the lounge to watch. As a result, he realized that he was holding the bag that Shiina Mashiro was carrying. There seemed to be a notebook, a paintbrush, a high-end eraser, etc. in it. Supplies, whether going outside or going to his room to draw him, this bag seems to be carried by Shiro a lot lately.

"Diary, or notes?" Li Yan's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he thought nervously.

In fact, he is almost like an ordinary person. Once he sees the diary of an acquaintance, his curiosity starts to take effect inexplicably, constantly tempting him to peek into other people's hearts. Things like diaries are simply used to spy on others. My inner belongings...

After hesitating for a while, Li Yan finally couldn't resist the temptation and took out this notebook.

"It doesn't have to be a diary. It might just be an exercise book or some notepads. Shiina won't mind if you look at it. Just confirm it a little. If it's really a diary, I won't Look, that’s it…”

Li Yan glanced at the situation in the lounge furtively, and after confirming that there was no movement from Mashiro, he secretly opened the first page with a nervous mood.

As a result, this does not look like a diary, but a small album with various paintings, which seems to be a rough draft.

The first page seemed to be the environment of a manor, and when Li Yan turned to the second page, it was a sketch of an airport.

A very magical notebook. It seems that it is not a diary recorded in words, but a sketch drawn on a page. It is marked with a date, which seems to be the date of Mashiro's first day in Japan.

As a result, the scene of the meeting with Mashiro was also drawn. When Li Yan just entered the door, that moment was recorded by Shiina Mashiro, and he also drew it faithfully.

Page after page, during the event of exploring the shrine, Mashiro perfectly painted the scene of her and him walking in the mountains, and the scene of the car chase with the Headless Horseman, and they were also painted vividly... …

There is no doubt that this is a diary, a diary that only Shiina Mashiro can "write".

As a result, when the theme of the comic was decided that day, the black and white sketch was no longer realistic. Obviously in the comic, the protagonist is a female detective and the assistant is a young man. As a result, in that Gothic style picture , the person wearing Sherlock Holmes costume is...

"Um, first meeting, Mr. Uesugi!"

Suddenly, a voice disturbed Li Yan, who immediately came back to his senses. He closed the diary and looked over.

As a result, they were two young men. Although they were young men, they were already quite mature and stable in terms of clothing and temperament. The one standing in front was a yellow-haired boy wearing glasses, and the one standing behind was a A short, blue-haired boy with a gentle personality.

"Hello……"

Li Yan looked at them with some curiosity. He seemed to have met these two people at the banquet, but there was no conversation. He didn't know what they wanted from him.

[Beep beep beep! 】

[System recovery, entering new data...]

[Title of work: "Dream Eaters"

Rating: A

Recommendation: An aspirational cartoonist story, a very realistic and excellent comic work. 】

Suddenly, the editing system in Li Yan's consciousness started to sound again, and it turned out to be a character from the original illusory world.

"Hello, senior, my name is Takagi Akito, and his name is Sincerity Supreme. We are a comic group, third grade. He is responsible for painting, and I am responsible for creating stories." This young man named Takagi Akito spoke. At that time, he introduced the two of them with a slightly nervous smile and a polite smile.

"Hello, Mr. Uesugi." Sincerity Supreme also said quickly.

"Hello, may I ask if you have anything to do with me?" Li Yan asked.

"Actually... we are still newbies in the comics industry. That... is actually like this. Your works are really amazing. After I read them, I admire them very much. I am really lucky to meet you this time. I am responsible for the creation of the story. Author, our team submitted our first work to Jump magazine before. Although it was successfully chosen, unfortunately... it was still a failure. This time, we have already prepared the second work, and we don’t have any confidence in it. , since I have met the genius Uesugi Yan, I would like to ask for your opinion, are you willing to give me some advice?"

Qiu Ren and Gao Zhi bowed down, handed a first draft to Li Yan, and asked.

"...Ghost, ghost genius?" Li Yan narrowed his eyes, worried about this title in his heart.

He doesn't know yet that in addition to the old thief and master, he has another recognized nickname on the Internet, but this title of "Ghost Genius" should be regarded as a very high praise in the light novel world.

He asked seriously: "Is this okay? I am also a writer. Maybe after reading your work, I will remember the precious settings you conceived. These are your business secrets. Can I read your first draft?"

"...Yes, don't worry about this, Mr. Uesugi. After all, we know that your writing character is trustworthy. Although...although you occasionally delay manuscripts and deceive others, you are a respected senior in terms of creation!"

Qiuren seemed a little nervous and told Li Yan everything he should and shouldn't say.

"Hey, Qiu Ren..." Gao Gao became speechless and muttered in a low voice.

"Uh... Oops." Qiu Ren closed his eyes, realizing that he had said the wrong thing.

"Liar...most of my reasons are legitimate reasons." Li Yan thought to himself in anguish.

He nodded, stood up, collected the stack of first drafts, and said: "Don't be so restrained. The age gap between you and me is not very big. Since you can trust me, I will review it. By the way, I am a light novel writer. The review standards may be different from those in comics, so I can only follow the suggestions in the light novel section."

Qiu Ren and Gao Gao were stunned for a moment, then became happy. After saying that it didn't matter, Li Yan read their works.

"..."

Li Yan looked at the dozen pages of manuscripts carefully, and the two junior high school students standing in front of him felt an inexplicable sense of uneasiness and tension. This was different from the editor's mood when reading their manuscripts. The young man in front of me is a professional writer. His eyes are calm but his concentration is amazing. He reads quickly but also very carefully. Finally, after reading the last page, he returns the manuscript to The autumn people.

"How...how is it?" Qiu Ren asked nervously.
