I Am a Light Novel Master in Japan Chapter 385

"Let him in."

From that corner, Uesugi Kenshin's cool and pleasant voice came.

"Your Excellency, Staff Officer, please come in, my lord is waiting there." The deputy general woman extended her hand to invite and said.

"Thanks for your hard work."

After Li Yan nodded to the deputy general, he walked into the corner corridor.

As the breeze blew, he seemed to smell a faint fragrance. What Li Yan saw in front of him was the figure sitting on a simple straw mat, wearing a daimyo armor with silver scales flashing, and beside him was a sharp warrior. Helmet, and in the breeze, this girl's black hair is so black and soft, and her beautiful temples are up to her ears, falling on the cold armor, rising slightly, so cool and charming.

Her elegant and unparalleled features were so demure and aloof. She quietly closed her eyes and took a short rest, letting the drizzle fall on the eaves.

However, she still felt a bit of residual heat when she touched the broken practice sword placed next to her with her slender fingers.

This scene at this time is almost exactly the same as Uesugi Kenshin depicted in the painting...

The fallen cherry blossoms knocked down by the drizzle are constantly blowing around this military commander. They are majestic and beautiful. Who will not be attracted by this beauty?

"..."

Li Yan's heart beat a little faster, as if he had met his idol. When they met again, he didn't know whether to confess to the famous girl whose sword he cut off that he was actually her loyal fan. .

In the quiet corridor, the warrior girl opened her eyes. She had already noticed that Li Yan was stopping in the distance and asked: "Mr. Staff Officer, you are welcome. The tea has been made. I don't know if it is in line with the people of Yu." Taste?"

Soon, Uesugi Kenshin raised his head and looked at Li Yan. His clear, cold, beautiful and focused eyes reflected Li Yan's figure.

"..."

However, when she really saw Li Yan, her expression changed a bit.

Li Yan never thought about what kind of impression he would have in front of his favorite historical figures. Now, this thing that is difficult to prove scientifically has been verified at this moment.

Originally, Uesugi Kenshin focused all his energy on sword competition. She also quickly learned that this Yu nationality staff officer who held an official position in the Western industrial empire should be relatively young, but she did not see him pick up the sword with her own eyes. What will happen after falling under the iron mask? After all, this is not the focus that needs to be paid attention to.

However, now that she saw with her own eyes the person who cut off her sword, Uesugi Kenshin showed an unexpected expression for a moment, and for a while he didn't say a word.

Silently and with gusts of breeze, the daimyo girl sitting cross-legged on the straw mat and the psychologically depressed staff officer looked at each other at a distance from each other.

A drop of water fell, breaking the moment of silence.

"As long as it's clear tea." Li Yan soon smelled the fragrance of tea, then smiled and said respectfully to the daimyo.

"...!"

Uesugi Kenshin quickly recovered from his surprise and saw Li Yan smiling cheerfully, completely different from the staff officer in the dojo who wore an iron mask and exuded a murderous aura.

She was silent for a moment, then showed a smile, stretched out her hand, and invited him to sit in another seat.

The drizzle of rain made the dead leaves fall on the lawn. The drizzle wet the ground, the eaves, and the scenery.

Before the rain curtain, the Daimyo girl in armor and the staff officer in Western clothes were sitting on a soft cushion together, facing the beautiful and quiet scenery with a cup of hot tea, as if they were enjoying the scenery together.

Uesugi Kenshin looked at the rainy scene in front of him quietly, then looked at Li Yan and asked: "Your Excellency is a talented person, brave and resourceful. I am a little curious why you are suddenly in Lotik, thousands of miles away." Official position in the Kingdom of Great Britain?”

"...No, I didn't intend to pursue an official career from the beginning."

Almost every time he met a daimyo, he would ask this question curiously, and Li Yan was not surprised. It seemed that few Easterners in this era chose to go abroad. He explained: "At that time, I accidentally encountered a flying dragon attacking the palace, so He has established meritorious deeds and was canonized by Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Lotik Kingdom."

"I see……"

Uesugi Kenshin nodded slightly, but then quickly changed the topic and continued: "So... I guess, the person you mentioned to save is Miss Rachel Miyamoto?"

Li Yan was speechless for a moment, not sure why Uesugi Kenshin guessed so accurately.

This beautiful and famous girl who exuded the heroic spirit of a swordsman immediately said: "Since I met you, your eyes have never left Miss Rachel Miyamoto. From this point of view, it is naturally easy to see. The situation of the assistant officer girl has always worried you. Therefore, I think if the situation is really critical, you will probably keep her by your side and take medicine directly in Echigo Country."

"..."

Li Yan was silent for a while, and finally realized that his natural performance had betrayed him. He nodded and said, "In general, it's the same as what His Highness said."

Uesugi Kenshin clinked glasses with his hands, took a sip of hot tea, closed his eyes and began to think thoughtfully, and said: "Rachel Miyamoto... She even gave her a Western-style name... The Miyamoto family who fled Fuso was from the north. The ministers of the Yunpo Kingdom, whose country has been destroyed long ago, are rumored to have unparalleled swordsmanship with Miyamoto Yanzuo-sama, so it is a pity that they were unable to compete with each other."

Only then did Li Yan learn about the family history of Rachel Miyamoto. It turned out that she went to the Kingdom of Great Britain for this reason. No wonder he didn't understand that he went all the way to the West in order to collect materials for his writing. .

"However," Uesugi Kenshin sat cross-legged at the side with a faint smile and praised: "In today's battle, I learned a rare swordsmanship. I admire your swordsmanship very much, although you have no mastery of Fuso swordsmanship. He has reached the level of a sword master, but if he can win with speed, tactics, and knowing his own advantages, he will be a respectable opponent no matter where in the world he is."

Kenshin Uesugi has been hearing about Li Yan, how he fought against the Northern Demon Dragon Nidhogg from the imperial palace, and how he met Master Umibo at the beach, and how he fell into the sea and disappeared with Rachel Miyamoto, and what happened next? To prove his determination, he agreed to compete in swordsmanship...

Having passed through so many difficulties and hardships, this person's willpower is enough to prove that he is qualified to challenge the evil god...

And how could she not long for a showdown with such an opponent?

"Then, I can discuss the spiritual grass matter with such a warrior."

Uesugi Kenshin's eyes became a little more serious. He looked at the dripping water and said, "I got [Cloud Fire Ganoderma] accidentally from an old friend. I never thought of dedicating it to anyone." It’s just a token of nostalgia for an old friend. For such an important item, even if the army is defeated, someone’s relics will not be given away, so if the Kingdom of Great Britain offers a large sum of money in exchange for it, I will not sell my old friend’s relics.”

"..."

Li Yan felt a little uneasy for a while.

She lowered her head slightly, her eyes were gloomy and slightly hesitant. She was silent for a while, looked at Li Yan, and asked: "At this moment, Takeda Shingen and I are still fighting. Originally, I had to resolve this matter personally. However, as soon as I left, , the Echigo Kingdom will be defeated and the country will be destroyed, and the subordinates try their best to stop it. Therefore, as I said before, the medicine can be given, and I have a merciless request. However, this matter is extremely dangerous. Although you are superb in martial arts, this time If you go, you may never come back, are you willing?"

Uesugi Kenshin told this young staff officer everything.

Suddenly, the rain around them became heavier and heavier, making a splashing sound.

In the end, the young man's answer was like the falling rain that had solidified.

"Yes, I have been mentally prepared."

※※※

The next day, in the afternoon.

After several days of continuous rain, it was not until the afternoon that the sky began to clear up, the dark clouds dispersed, and the golden light of the setting sun shone on this peaceful land.

Li Yan was sitting on the entrance door. He had already put on his coat and hat. His weapons on the ship were also back on his body. Now the final preparation was to tie up his shoes. Just bring it.

It looks like he is just going out every day, very quiet and easy-going. The breeze after the rain was blowing his hair, and his eyes were so careful that he checked his equipment and did not allow any negligence.

【Boom! 】

Suddenly, there was the sound of footsteps behind him. Although they were walking quite lightly, the sound of the wooden boards was still so clear.

"Are you ready to leave?"

Behind him, Rachel Miyamoto was wearing her daily Western dress, looking at his back quietly and asked.
