I Am a Light Novel Master in Japan Chapter 357

"...You scared me to death." Li Yan looked at her in shock, then breathed a sigh of relief and said.

"I found you suddenly ran in. It's very dangerous here. Have you forgotten what I told you before?" Yan Moai asked expressionlessly.

"Of course I know, but I just saw the lotus appearing around here, so I chased it in. Miss Yan Mo, hasn't the lotus been swallowed up? Why..." Li Yan said seriously.

"The ability of the Mirror Demon is to copy the person it shines on, so the lotus flower you see is not real. The Mirror Demon often uses copies of acquaintances of the target to seduce, so you should not follow."

Yan Moai stared at him and reminded him.

"...I see, it is indeed a bit like a temptation." Li Yan recalled the Lianhua who only showed part of her body to him, and finally agreed with Yama Ai's words.

"Then, go back..." Yan Moai said quietly.

"Miss Yan Mo, Miss Lianhua, have they disappeared?" Li Yan asked worriedly.

"I don't know, but Hell Girls cannot be killed. We are no longer living beings, but spirits, so we are probably absorbed, just like the Ten Thousand Flowers Mirror." Yan Moai answered with a light voice.

"……I see."

Li Yan looked at Yan Mo Ai and pondered for a long time. He looked at this hell girl and said: "Although I don't know the situation, I can't abandon the lotus flower and ignore it. Since the Mirror Demon intends to swallow me, I need to take precautions like this... …After all, that’s not the answer.”

"What do you mean?" Yan Moai was a little surprised and asked.

"That's right, take care of it as it comes. The old grudge of Wanhua Mirror was caused by me. Lianhua once saved me in front of you. Because of these two points, I shouldn't escape."

Li Yan looked at Yan Mo Ai and said, "So, I plan to fight it to the death tonight."

"..."

Yama Ai looked at him quietly, and finally, she said: "I understand, I will take you to it."

At this moment, suddenly, the water pipe in the corridor suddenly made a strange popping noise, which attracted the attention of both Li Yan and Yan Moai to what happened.

"Is this also an illusion caused by the Mirror Demon?" Li Yan asked in shock.

"It should be... not." Yan Moai raised his head and looked at it, saying in confusion.

However, from the welded joint of the water pipe above the head, cold tap water quickly spurted out amidst constant abnormal noises.

The banquet was still being held normally, but suddenly, there were some strange movements on the ceiling, which attracted everyone's attention.

【pound】!

【pound】!

【pound】!

Suddenly, everyone at the banquet heard those three strange popping sounds.

"That's weird, what's the sound?"

"There won't be any rats, right?"

While people were talking about it, everyone including Sayuri Sawamura raised their heads and looked at the ceiling curiously. As a result, water began to seep out of the ceiling.

Suddenly, people at the banquet began to commotion, fleeing from the water leakage that was like rain.

"what happened?"

Sayuri Sawamura's clothes were wet in an instant. Among the panicked crowd, Sayuri Sawamura was escorted by her assistant, but she saw a figure that looked like Li Yan.

"Teacher Uesugi, what happened?" Sayuri Sawamura walked forward and asked worriedly.

"It seems that the water pressure of the water pipe in the fire protection system was too high and burst. The hotel on these floors is basically soaked. Now the banquet seems to be interrupted. Miss Sawamura, please go back early."

Li Yan looked at her and said.

"Eh...the water pressure suddenly happened?" Sayuri Sawamura asked with confusion on her face, but she paused mid-sentence.

When the waterproof system lost control and sprayed water randomly, Li Yan looked at her calmly. The water washed directly into the corridor and everywhere where the mirrors were installed, making the mirrors blurry.

"I'm sorry for messing up your banquet..." Li Yan said apologetically.

"..." Sayuri Sawamura looked at him blankly.

"As long as I appear around close people, there will be a lot of uncertainties. I don't know what kind of path this will take. Miss Sawamura, maybe you are right to avoid me. I didn't have any objection to you at the time. At that time, I thought, maybe, whether it is Yinglili, Satania or others, if everyone stays away from me, they will all be happy."

Li Yan stood in the low rain and said with a bitter smile.

Originally he resisted the fate, but suddenly, he was filled with shame. Looking at Sayuri Sawamura, he seemed to see many figures from behind.

"..." Sawamura Sayuri's eyes also became sad, and she probably understood what happened.

"So, if you leave Saitama, you will probably be safe. Promise me, Miss Sawamura, to leave here for now and I will apologize to you next time."

He looked at Sayuri Sawamura with determined eyes, took out a backpack from the savings cabinet in the corridor, and then turned around and walked towards the stairs of the economic passage where there were few people.

"Actually, I regretted it a long time ago!"

Sayuri Sawamura suddenly shouted to Li Yan.

"?"

Li Yan was slightly startled and turned back to look at her.

Sayuri Sawamura, who always got wet from the rain every time she was with him, smiled and said: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have told you like this at the beginning. I regret saying such emotional words because I was confused and didn't know what to do next. How to continue to get along with you. But, as expected...it's great to know you. I think Eiri, the people from Sanwa Bunko, the Yukinoshita sisters, and your student Tsurumi will all think so. It's great to know you. Already..."

"So, if you want to come back safely, I... we will wait for you." Sayuri Sawamura looked at him in the water curtain and said firmly.

Li Yan looked at her quietly. Finally, he closed his eyes, turned around, and continued walking up the stairs. He turned his back to Sayuri Sawamura and waved slightly.

※※※

An abandoned Christian church located opposite the lake looks dilapidated and dilapidated.

This place was originally a protected monument in Saitama County, but under the guidance of Yama Ai, Li Yan came here in the heavy rain. According to Yama Ai's wishes, the mirror demon who had been trying to prey on him was here.

The interior of the church was dilapidated with lightning and thunder. Yama Ai walked into this church and said: "There is a mirror demon somewhere here, so be careful."

"Yes, I'm very careful, so I always keep this weapon with me."

Li Yan took out a black demon sword from his backpack. This demon sword was the one that killed Shura.

"...What is that?" Yan Moai asked, watching him come prepared.

"This is a demon sword that was taken from an Onmyoji. Ordinary people cannot see or touch this demon sword. I have always encountered some dangers, so I always carry it with me for self-defense when I go out."

Li Yan pulled out the demon sword and explained coldly.
