I Am a Light Novel Master in Japan Chapter 402
"Yes... Excuse me, is there any problem?" Ichijo Hotaru was slightly confused, blinked and asked.
"...No, no." Li Yan was speechless, and then he walked up to Fujinomiya Kumi and muttered in confusion: "Are Japanese elementary school students so good now?"
"No, this is also the first time I have met a primary school student with such perfect development." Fujinomiya Kumi was slightly startled and explained.
As a result, Li Yan finally understood the reason why they came, and one after another, the homework books for the social practice class were handed over to Li Yan. The elementary school students wrote short essays of one thousand words, while the middle school students wrote three thousand words. So it took this group of students at least one day to complete the homework.
This was the first time Li Yan encountered an assignment called [Novel].
"So, are you here to hand in your homework...but I'm not a teacher, is this okay?"
Li Yan put a stack of homework books on the table, looked at the articles they had written all day, and asked.
Koshigaya Xiaoju was a little shy. After hesitating for a while, she said nervously: "...This, this is what the teacher said, because the senior is a professional, so you must take a look and make a grade."
"I see. However, there are no criteria for judging novels. You need multiple people to rate them after reading them. Novels are very subjective judgments. Maybe some people think they are poorly written, but some people think they are poorly written. People will like it very much... Even within a work, there will be differences in evaluations due to different plots."
Li Yan explained.
"Is that so... But it's true. Brother Glasses really likes watching "Light Music X Girl". I'm in the instrumental club, but I don't like it." Fujinomiya Kimi thought for a moment, then said with a smile.
Koshigaya Zhuo was silent for a moment.
"So, teacher, how do you want to grade?" Koshigaya Natsumi asked.
"This..." Li Yan thought for a moment.
At this time, another figure came down the stairs. Everyone looked over and saw Nanami Aoyama coming down.
"?" Nanami Aoyama seemed to have just woken up. Seeing so many people looking at her, she was slightly startled and said shyly: "What's wrong?"
※※※
On the second floor, everything was quiet.
It was probably only eight o'clock at this time. The sound of Li Yan making breakfast for everyone came from the kitchen downstairs. However, a large group of girls poured out of the corridor on the second floor, sneaking over to see which one was said to have painted. A girl manga artist who writes comics in one night.
In the Japanese market, the most important part of the two-dimensional culture is still comics, not light novels. Especially middle school students and elementary school students are much more curious about comics than novels. As a country of comics, the former short-term prime minister of Japan is said to have the habit of reading several comics a day for entertainment. The foundation of the two-dimensional kingdom has always been In the comics industry.
What Nanami meant was to have Mashiro Shiina make an evaluation as the second reader. With the evaluation of two professionals, this pile of works written by students for the first time in their lives will receive a fair evaluation.
"..."
Koshigaya Xiaomari secretly opened the sliding door of the room. As a result, the scene in front of her eyes made Fujinomiya Kumi, the Koshitani sisters, Miyauchi Renge, and Ichijo Hotaru all stunned for a moment.
Shiina Mashiro, who still likes to sleep under the table, quietly rolled up the sheets and slept on a soft straw mat. Her long golden hair shone with a soft golden luster in the sunlight from the window, and her fair and elegant oriental-style face was so delicate and quiet. , her closed eyes and slender eyelashes had an indescribable sense of beauty. She rolled up her body slightly, sleeping like a kitten, breathing gently.
After being scolded by Li Yan last time, Shiina Mashiro no longer dared to sleep naked. No matter how hot it was, she always wore pajamas.
"It's... so beautiful, just like the beauty in a painting." Koshigaya Xiaoju couldn't help but praise in a low voice.
Fujinomiya Kimi watched quietly. During the courage test meeting, she was a little curious about the relationship between this mixed-race girl from Tokyo and Mr. Sugi. As a girl, she could easily see that they were not the same. The relationship between lovers and even love was a bit far-fetched. It was probably an intimate relationship like friends or partners. However, now that she felt the charm of this girl more closely, she suddenly lost a sense of confidence.
Next to Mr. Uesugi is a high school cartoonist. This development definitely does not conform to the logic of amateur novel writers he mentioned before.
"Why would such a lovely sister sleep under the table?" Renka Miyauchi asked with a puzzled look on her face, pointing at Mashiro Shiina and tugging at Koshigaya Komari's clothes.
"...Um, well, it's probably more comfortable to sleep like this." Koshigaya Xiaoju said.
"We don't understand." Upon hearing this, Lianhua in the palace said even more puzzled.
"Well, Lianhua, think about it, don't kittens like to sleep under the table? This sister also imitates cats..."
Koshigaya Natsumi explained with a smile, but as she spoke, not only her, but also others, came back to their senses slightly and realized that this girl really seemed like a pet cat.
"...It would be better...to call her [Pet Girl] more appropriately." Ichijo Hotaru felt this and said quietly and cautiously.
This sentence is unintentionally the most gifted statement in fiction.
Li Yan had already arrived behind them. Hearing such emotion, he was slightly startled, and then said: "In the past, it was possible, but now, don't speculate anymore... The sleeping posture of a lion is actually like this, it cannot be Because of her beautiful appearance, I treat her as a pet.”
"Ahhhhh!!!"
However, when Li Yan was speaking, a group of girls who immediately focused all their attention on Shiina Mashiro were startled.
This cry undoubtedly caused Mashiro Shiina to open her eyes while she was sleeping.
"..." She opened her eyes drowsily and looked at the group of girls at the door who were preparing to escape.
"……What's wrong?"
However, there was no anger. Mashiro Shiina wiped her eyes and looked at them and asked.
The hand that took off the glove was clearly visible to everyone at this moment. Each slender finger was covered with a band-aid. It seemed that her hand was scratched while practicing something...
Li Yan remembered that yesterday, Nanami Aoyama mentioned that recently Mashiro seemed to have begun to formally learn more orthodox cooking such as cutting vegetables. It seems that the lion in his eyes, although he can stand alone in one aspect, but life skills on, it seems there is still a lack of heat...
Soon, everyone returned to the living room on the first floor. Not long after waiting, Mashiro Shiina came down wearing summer clothes and a long skirt.
"so?"
Shiina Mashiro seemed to have a sleep-deprived expression, and her eyes seemed to be wandering in a dream. She sat on the soft cushion in front of the table and asked.
"I'm sorry... Shiina-senpai, if you don't mind, can you help us read the novel?" Koshigaya Komari said apologetically.
Shiina Mashiro looked at the homework book on the table, which had already been read by Li Yan once. She nodded slightly, then took one and started reading.
Only then did Li Yan remember that Shiina Mashiro was actually a big fan of his books. He liked reading novels and light novels, but he had never heard any book reviews from Shiina Mashiro.
In fact, Li Yan had read it. After reading it, he didn't know what they wrote in retrospect. However, facing their expressions of vows, it seemed that writing novels was not a problem, and he couldn't bear to disturb this budding idea. curiosity.
The article, which totaled more than 10,000 words, was quickly read, but from beginning to end, Shiina Mashiro's expression remained consistent.
"I've finished reading." Shiina Mashiro said quietly and calmly.
"Um... So what's your rating?" Li Yan glanced at Shiina Mashiro and asked in a low voice.
"Failed, retake the exam."
Shiina Mashiro said directly.
"!!"
Suddenly, everyone's expressions changed.
"Wait, wait a minute, Shiina, is it really okay for you to express it directly like this..." Li Yan reminded in a low voice with cold sweat on his head.
"Besides, these are the first works they have written... They are pretty good, aren't they?" Qingshan Nanami also felt that this was too inappropriate, and reminded her with a bitter smile.
