I Am a Light Novel Master in Japan Chapter 332
Shiina Mashiro said after listening to their words quietly.
"Promise?" Li Yan was slightly stunned and asked.
"I made an agreement with my father." Mashiro Shiina looked at them and said, "Participate in the exhibition. If it proves that I have not regressed, I can go back."
It turned out that Shiina Mashiro was not brought back by her father without any conditions. She came back by choosing to prove herself. This suddenly made Li Yan and others suddenly realize.
"Um...to prove it, do you already have your own method? Also, Shiina, I don't understand why you haven't disclosed this matter to us from beginning to end?" Li Yan looked at it in surprise. Looking at his "assistant", he asked.
Aoyama Nanami also became a little curious, looked at Li Yan, and finally looked at Shiina Mashiro.
"Don't worry, I don't want to be a burden to Holmes and Nanami anymore. I will try my best to do my own thing." Mashiro Shiina looked at the two of them and said.
In the incident where Nanami failed in the interview, when Mashiro Shiina found out that Nanami had gone out secretly while suffering from a high fever, she immediately called Li Yan to ask for help. Later, she realized that she had unintentionally dragged Li Yan down. As a reminder, she had been silently remembering her lesson of over-reliance on Li Yan, so that this time, she did not tell Li Yan or Qihai about the difficulties she encountered.
This approach seems to be exactly the same as the original Shiina Mashiro, so straightforward and going her own way, her pure white essence has not changed.
"...What's going on? I always feel that this approach is very familiar. Teacher Shiina, don't imitate your seniors in this regard."
Ying Lili was stunned for a moment, then narrowed her eyes and stared at Li Yan, who was like a ray of light on his back.
"So... Shiina, have you found any way to convince your parents?" Li Yan was made a little uncomfortable by Ying Lili, and then he became thoughtful and asked.
Li Yan seemed to have anticipated what Mashiro Shiina meant. After this period of contact and experience, this Watson girl worked hard to study various detective novels and mastered them. Her thinking and behavior are no longer the same.
"..." Shiina Mashiro fell silent.
Suddenly, there was a sound of breaking branches in the woods, attracting everyone's attention.
At this moment, in the dark clouds in the forest outside London, Li Yan and his group were talking under the trees, some of them were wet from the rain. Although they would not catch a cold, it seemed that there was no other more secluded place in this world. They were talking about what they had said after getting together.
"Ah, I've been discovered."
A middle-aged man said with a smile.
"But I'm very happy, Mashiro, dad, I'm very happy that you have understood the worries of mom and dad."
In the drizzle, Shiina's father walked out again. It seemed that after noticing Grandpa Mashiro's actions, he rushed over to stop him again.
"Dad." Shiina Mashiro looked at him and said.
"Mr. Shiina..."
Li Yan's mood became a little complicated. He quietly looked at this Shiina relative who had a different opinion with him. When he saw that he had rushed over, he felt that the possibility of letting Mashiro go back to Japan to continue pursuing his dream was greatly reduced. .
Standing in the woods, this elegantly dressed middle-aged man held an umbrella and looked at Mashiro Shiina quietly.
"It seems that Li Jun passed the test of Mashiro's grandfather and my father-in-law... Although he always looks optimistic and like an old naughty old man, he never makes mistakes in his judgment of people. After all, he is a legendary painter in Britain. Even if I take another twenty years, I will not be able to surpass his level at the same time. You can trust me."
He then said with a serious look: "But, Li Jun... and everyone, I still don't want Mashiro to return to Japan. This is my position as a father. I will send her to the best art school in the UK. , Japan does not have this resource, I will give Mashiro the most carefree life, so that she can always be with her family. Japan is an oriental and closed country, and the environment there cannot give Mashiro a more suitable artistic life. , this is my opinion.”
He stood before them and expressed his opinion in a serious and firm tone.
Shiina's father, who is a Japanese, seems to be too aware that Japan is not a suitable country for the birth of art masters who are in line with the European world. No matter what he considers, he is more knowledgeable about oil painting art and is more open and avant-garde in art countries such as Britain, France, and Austria. In line with cultivating Mashiro's talent.
"..." Qingshan Nanhai became a little concerned after hearing this.
"So..." Shiina's father continued.
"Dad, promise...do you remember?" Shiina Mashiro's soft and cold voice interrupted her father's words.
"...Of course Dad still remembers." Her father was slightly stunned, silent for a moment, looking at the wet white hair, and nodded.
"Now, I want to show dad my painting."
Suddenly, Shiina Mashiro looked at her father and said these words. In the drizzle, the wind blew her bangs, and her eyes were so calm and determined.
"...Have you drawn a new work, Mashiro?" Shiina's father looked at her with a surprised expression and asked.
But what makes Shiina's father curious is that after he brought Mashiro back, he paid attention to Mashiro every day, but he never saw her using an animation pen again. How could he be able to draw a picture that conquered his eyes now? work.
However, Li Yan thought of something and was suddenly startled. He looked at Shiina Mashiro in disbelief. Eiriri and Nanami looked at Li Yan's reaction in confusion.
Shiina Mashiro turned her head, her eyes as beautiful as gems, looked at him demurely, and asked: "Holmes, you must have brought that painting to me, right?"
※※※
A piece of canvas was tightly wrapped in waterproof canvas and was transported from the storage cabinet of the art museum on a rainy day. When it was delivered to this gorgeous British mansion, it was stained by some cold rainwater.
"Shiina...did you already know from the beginning that I would bring the paintings?"
Li Yan, who was standing together in the living room, looked at Mashiro Shiina in surprise and asked.
Therefore, Shiina Mashiro told Nanami Aoyama that the work was not completed that night, and relayed it to him through Nanami. After he and Nanami saw this half-finished painting together, they hoped that Through this painting, Shiina Mashiro was won back and came to England.
In the end, I directly used this half-finished painting to conquer my parents who are also famous painters.
This is almost like a detective serial design...
"Dad, he is a very good painter."
Mashiro Shiina replied in a low voice: "I can't conquer him and my mother with the half-finished product. This painting is not completed yet."
"Although the painting is very good, I can also see that the description in many places has not been completed. Senior Li also said before that he was not sure that he could really impress Shiina's parents, so he had been planning to finish this painting as a last resort. Take out the painting to convince Shiina’s family..."
Nanami Aoyama said to Mashiro in a low voice but with some hesitation.
"...Then, do you still want to use this painting to decide the outcome?" Sawamura Eiri asked in shock and nervousness.
"Yes, this is the painting..." Mashiro Shiina looked at the half-finished oil painting that had been set up by the servants and said expressionlessly.
Li Yan and others were not sure what Mashiro Shiina would do next to prove that she had surpassed the past. For a half-finished painting, even she herself said at the beginning that she could not get her parents, who were famous painters, to approve. Isn’t it possible to complete this painting on the spot?
The scene became extremely tense. The rain was pattering outside. In the spacious hall of the mansion, Shiina's father, the British woman in a red dress, and many butlers and servants with quite elegant temperaments gathered here. , waiting for the reveal of this painting.
"Mashiro, is this the oil painting you painted in Japan?" This British woman who looked very similar to Mashiro, but looked a bit serious and cold, was Shiina Mashiro's mother, asked.
"Yes, mom." Shiina Mashiro said.
"I didn't expect that you would also paint oil paintings when you were doing comics. I thought that if you, my daughter, were in Japan, you would not be in the mood to create new works." Shiina's father said with a smile.
"But what's strange is, why didn't you let me see it at that time? If it really surpassed the previous works, you should have shown it to me right then. Then wouldn't you have had your friends chase you all the way? "
Shiina's father looked at the ordinary oil painting and asked curiously.
"Because mom is not there, even if the painting is good, mom will not agree with it." Mashiro Shiina looked at her mother and said truthfully.
"Uh... Mashiro, you have really grown up. You have even thought of this." Shiina's father's expression changed and he couldn't help blurting out, he was very moved and said in admiration.
