I Am a Light Novel Master in Japan Chapter 325

"He is really a rich man. He bought a villa to create..."

Li Yan was full of envy, jealousy and hatred for his partner, silently looking at the sunny beach outside the window, thinking to himself.

Compared with his 40-square-meter single apartment, which is cold in winter and warm in summer, has no money to turn on air conditioning in summer, and no money to turn on heating in winter, and has no elevator and is in disrepair, the environment is completely different.

It departs from Tokyo Station, passes through Shinagawa, Yokohama, Odawara, Atami, and finally gets off at Izu-Nagaoka. After getting off the station, Li Yan, who was dragging his black suitcase, used his mobile phone to search for the detailed address Ying Lili had sent him before, and took the bus again for more than ten miles along the winding and charming two-lane road. After walking along the road, we finally got off the bus at a station in front of a living area lined with villas.

July is approaching, and the roads and streets are lined with cherry blossom trees. The trees are lush, but the area located by the sea is bringing a bit of coolness in the sea breeze. Finally, after two hours of journey, Li Yan stood on the seaside. In front of Villa No. 102.

Villa No. 102 has a total of two and a half floors. It is surrounded by Japanese-style stone walls. It has a clean courtyard covered with green lawns and several pruned landscape pine trees. In the sea breeze, It makes a rustling forest sound.

【beep--! ! 】

There was a sound like an electric shock from the doorbell, and soon the voice of Eri Sawamura came.

[Hello, this is the Sawamura family. What can I do for you? 】

The voice seemed so clear and gentle that Li Yan almost couldn't recognize that it was Sawamura Eri's voice.

"I am Li Yan, Ying Lili, I have arrived."

[Ah, you are finally here, otaku Li, please wait a moment at the door. 】

Ying Lili's tone immediately changed, she spoke to Li Yan in a teasing tone, and then turned off the doorbell call.

Li Yan put the suitcase next to him, and in the breeze, sent a safe arrival text message to Nanami Aoyama and Gabrielle.

Since yesterday, he has officially been enjoying the leisurely time of summer vacation. As for Nanami Aoyama, Mashiro Shiina and Gabriel, a group of high school students studying in Tokyo, just two days have passed since the three-day exam, and today is the last day. .

Shiina Mashiro has been a little strange recently, no, it should be quite strange. At first, Li Yan thought that he just heard his self-destruction and was a little depressed. He trapped himself in the room, and after shopping together a few days ago, his worries were relieved.

However... the strange Shiina Mashiro is still very strange. From that day on, she began to lock herself in the room and was busy with something. In the past two days, she borrowed that room to place the "Old Thief" The warehouse room where the portrait was taken has been locked inside. When he came out, his whole body was covered in dye and he looked miserable...

"Shiina, what have you been busy with recently..." Li Yan thought to himself with some confusion.

Li Yan held his mobile phone and raised his head to look at the end of the road, silently thinking about Mashiro and letting the sea breeze blow his hair. At this moment, the iron door in front of him was opened.

"Hmph! I've kept you waiting for so long, otaku Li... No, Assistant-kun, welcome to my creative villa!"

Suddenly, two slender and soft hands pressed hard on Li Yan's shoulders. Sawamura Eiri looked at him with an arrogant and trusting smile and said.

"..." Li Yan was at a loss for words for a moment. He looked helplessly at this girl with a pair of dark circles under her eyes, although she was full of energy, and the pair of eyes that pinned her hopes for future creations on him. The look of faith from an "assistant".

"Ahem, even though I know you have the farthest distance to come here, everyone has already arrived before you."

Yinglili showed a smile and took a few steps back. Behind her, at the gate of the villa, several guests who seemed to have arrived not long ago came out one after another. Now they are all Sanhe Bunku authors who have not been together for a while.

Shido Kunimitsu, Kasumigaoka Shiha, Izumi Masamune, Kusanagi Ryuuki, and Sanwa Bunko's best-selling Senjumura Sei all stood at the door to greet their old friend Uesugi En, whom they hadn't seen for a long time. Under the warm sunshine, like this A dazzling team.

The gathering hadn't officially started yet, but everyone who met felt an indescribable sense of relaxation and joy.

"Okay, let's not talk nonsense. Otaku Li, everyone is impatient to wait. Hurry up and let you, a guy who is called a genius, tell us how to sublimate your works."

Sawamura Eiri stood with her arms crossed. When she looked at the team that came out to greet him, she glanced at Li Yan slightly with her eyes and said with a smile.

※※※

Mornings and afternoons always pass by in a hurry.

At night, at 6:30, in the bathroom on the second floor of the villa.

Filled with thick mist, it should be said that it is truly a bathroom in a Japanese-style villa. Not only are the wooden boards and the bathtub made of wooden boards, but there is a window looking at the sea in front of the bathtub, which is a perfect match. Although the corridor is a bit small, the bathroom is not ambiguous at all.

“The bathroom is really nice. It feels clean and comfortable.”

When Li Yan just walked into the locker room, he roughly saw the whole bathroom and couldn't help but admire it.

He felt a little tired. After closing the door, he found two locks, a metal door handle lock and an old-fashioned door latch. Li Yan didn't understand why two locks were installed in the bathroom. It was a bit unnecessary. He locked the metal doorknob, took off his coat, and relaxed his body with hot water.

"..."

Under the shower of hot water, he lowered his head and relaxed slightly.

It should be said that he really hasn't had a good rest these days. The real rest, that is, the end of the exam, is only from yesterday to today.

When assigning a room, Li Yan discovered that there was a bathroom on the second floor. At that time, he planned to take a bath earlier in the evening to wash away the fatigue from lack of sleep and rest.

After arriving at Yinglili's villa today, Li Yan was unexpectedly arranged to perform a [Success Forum] performance by his teammates in the team, sharing how he suddenly overturned the original outline, fought against the odds, and finally succeeded in winning a higher grade. Floor-to-ceiling success.

Although he also knew that this day was not only for him, but also for other people's first day of summer vacation, but this arrangement was really sudden... although the general reason was indeed to deliberately tease him, and it was a disguised way of congratulating him on his seventh birthday. The success of the light novel.

[Ghost Talent] Uesugi Yan, a title like this, penetrates Li Yan's defensive bottom line even more than Master Tseng. All his efforts can be considered satisfied with this compliment.

All success stemmed from the little bits and pieces of his life. After experiencing the sunshine and weathering the storms, valuable people appeared in his life, including Eiri Riri, Kasumigaoka Shiu, Sawamura Sayuri, and everyone from Sanwa Bunko. , Hell Girl, Zhenbai and Nanami... one after another figures flashed in his mind, and in the end, his writing style was changed.

This means that the key to successful writing ultimately lies in life. As he has always said to Mashiro Shiina, if you are good at feeling and understanding in life, you will have a steady stream of inspiration.

As a result, after celebrating the arrival of summer vacation together with the so-called speech in the morning, fishing in the afternoon, and barbecue on the beach, Li Yan came back to take a shower while others were still having barbecue and fun at the beach. rest.

During the summer solstice, it was still quite hot during the day, but at night, the seaside was a bit cool. Li Yan was already soaking in the bathtub. Through the window on the second floor, he saw the dark ocean under the silver moonlight. , there are many cruise ships and fishing boats with flashing lights passing by slowly, and the more distant shore is also a dimly lit town, with an indescribable sense of human beauty.

"In July, I will prepare part of the bonus from the Grand Prize, and promised Gabriel and Nanami that if they do well in the exam, I will buy them some souvenirs from Izu. At this time, I don't know if they have done well in the exam. Okay?"

Li Yan covered his head with a towel, turned his face to look at the scenery outside the window, and thought silently with some concern.

Suddenly, when everything was quiet, apart from the sound of the waves, the voices of girls were heard coming from the corridor.

"It's strange. Where did that guy Li, the otaku, go? He can't even get through on the phone. Could it be that he sneaked back to Tokyo after eating?"

Who could the illustrator who had such cunning and mean thoughts, said things that were completely impossible to happen, and made strange speculations just to belittle him, if not Eiriri?

"Well, this is somewhat possible. It only takes two hours to take the express train from here. It is used to escape from a difficult and willful partner who is obsessed with women. The speed is still barely enough."

The person who unexpectedly shot Eiriri in the face, with a very calm and serious tone, was basically Kasumigaoka Shiu.

"What do you mean you guy?!"

Eiri was furious and yelled at Kasumigaoka Shiyu.

"...Teacher Uesugi, you should have thought of an interesting story and gone back."

The girl with a calm voice, a bit petite, and a novel that can't be separated from her when she speaks, is probably Senjumura Sei.

Because the sound was very low and the soundproofing effect of the bathroom was very good, apart from hearing these whispers, it was not clear what the three of them were talking about intermittently.

Li Yan took a bath quietly, and soon, the sounds in the corridor became clearer.

"Phew, walking and barbecuing on the beach, my clothes are covered with sand and mud." (Shiha Kasumigaoka)
