I Am a Light Novel Master in Japan Chapter 404

However, just as she quietly looked at the selection of English compositions from the University of Tokyo over the years on a free website on the Internet, she suddenly noticed something on the window. As a result, she turned her head and looked, and saw drop after drop of crystal clear water. , hitting the glass of the tram.

However, she didn't bring an umbrella...

…

Whispering rustling...

The sky was as dark as evening, and it was raining heavily outside. It was almost impossible to see the place a hundred meters ahead.

Surrounded by green mountains, the rain and fog made the mountains and forests even more green and misty. Under a simple wooden house at a rural bus station, Kasumigaoka Shiyu spent more than five hours to arrive at this place called Asahigaoka. At this moment, he saw a strange place in front of him. There were mountains and roads, and rice fields in the distance. Occasionally, there would be a white truck whirring by in front of her. It was so peaceful that it made her a little curious and slightly uneasy.

People almost always feel like this when staying in a strange place...

"Is this the writing sanctuary of Mr. Uesugi?" Kasumigaoka Shiu thought after looking around for a while.

Almost, this is a deserted place she has never seen before...

After asking about the name of the place with Kagurazaka Iris, I originally thought it would be a small town-like place, but it turned out to be a bit rural, unlike Japan, a densely populated country. The rain fell low and splashed white water on the ground. , there are farmland on both sides of the road, and it seems that there is a sparse residential street only fifty meters away.

"Wait a minute, don't run in the rain!!"

Suddenly, Kasumigaoka Shiu, who was waiting for the rain to stop, suddenly heard a familiar voice. She was stunned for a moment and looked over.

Soon, in a rural street filled with rain and fog, a man in a raincoat hurriedly chased several children trotting in raincoats. The girl's noisy voice was heard. It turned out that Kasumigaoka Shiyu's eyesight was not bad. In an instant, The young man's face under that raincoat and hat, who could it be if it weren't Li Yan?

"Teacher?!" Kasumigaoka Shiyu was stunned for a moment, and then showed a look of surprise. She was originally worried about whether she would be able to find Li Yan, who didn't notify her, but it seemed that the two of them had a good fate, and they would meet again at this moment.

"Teacher Uesugi!!!"

Suddenly, Kasumigaoka Shiyu, who was standing under the rain curtain, immediately shouted to Li Yan, who was more than 20 meters away.

Unexpectedly, Li Yan, who was trotting on a rural road with poor visibility, seemed to be in a hurry. He couldn't hide from the rain. The rain was so loud that he didn't notice the bus stop in the distance at all. He was more focused on the front. The group of little ghosts were concerned about their safety, but they frowned and followed behind the children.

"Teacher Uesugi!!"

"Li! Li Yanjun!!"

Kasumigaoka Shiyu blinked her eyes and stared blankly at Li Yan's back. She realized that it was difficult for him to notice this side. She was suddenly startled and continued to shout quickly. However, the sound of the rustling rain was enough to cover up her original indifference. With a loud voice, Li Yan and others watched helplessly as the figures of Li Yan and others hurried away...

Kasumigaoka Shiyu's face became worse and worse. She was afraid that after this encounter, if she waited until the rain stopped, the other person might have disappeared into the empty mountain forest. In the end, she mustered up all her courage. , wrapped his mobile phone in a waterproof waist bag, and then finally rushed out of the slightly leaky station and chased after Li Yan.

"Ah..." In just a moment, her clothes and hair, which were still dry, suddenly became soaked, and the heavy raindrops hit her eyes, making it almost difficult to open them.

"Oops, how can this guy run so fast..."

Kasumigaoka Shiyu, who followed all the way, lowered her head slightly, squinted her eyes, and couldn't help but wipe her eyes with her wet hands several times. She followed Li Yan's footsteps with difficulty, but she found that the figure was getting closer to her. Getting further and further away...

However, she gasped for air and stood in the heavy rain. After just a short distance, she lost pursuit. It is very difficult for people to run in the rain. However, this is not a problem for Li Yan and the children who grew up in the countryside.

"..."

Kasumigaoka Shiyu stood in the rain scene, and she suddenly remembered that a few months ago, in such heavy rain, there was a person who was carrying her and escaping all the way.

It turns out that doing this is so difficult and dangerous...

Walking along a road in the middle of a field, finally, under the cold rain, Kasumigaoka Shiyu saw Li Yan's black Supra car parked in a yard on the edge of a mountain forest. It seemed that this This two-and-a-half-story Japanese-style house is the house that Li Yan rents.

Raindrops were dripping from her hair, and her rose-red eyes were looking at this house. She finally did not lose sight of him.

However, this time, it seemed that she was in the most embarrassing situation in her life, just to catch up with a certain figure.

"Okay, teacher, after I enter the house, you have to entertain me, a guest from afar..." Kasumigaoka Shiyu thought with a smile, looking at the lighted house.

However, just as she approached the wall and was about to push the iron fence on the switch, she suddenly heard a familiar girl's voice.

"Hey, if you want to learn drawing, don't get the paper wet. Go and clean your hands first, and then I'll teach you how to draw comics!"

Sawamura Eri's voice came loudly from inside the house.

"..."

The rain washed the fair and delicate cheeks, and the hand that was about to push the door stopped.

The black rain falling from the black sky is so cold...

The door to the house opened again. Li Yan placed the wet raincoats of a group of children in the village outside. However, he noticed something and raised his head to look at the iron gate.

But there was no one around, only the unlocked iron gate had been touched and was shaking slightly...

…

In the rain, a wet girl was walking in a strange village. There was no one on the road. In the whole world, she was the only one.

Kasumigaoka Shiyu didn't know why, but she suddenly turned around and ran away.

It seemed that she really didn't expect that Sawamura Eiri would come here faster than her. This moment brought too much psychological load to her, which made her feel so embarrassed at the moment that she naturally and subconsciously chose to avoid it.

She lowered her head and walked aimlessly on the road among the woods and houses. Finally, Kasumigaoka Shiyu stood under a roof to take shelter from the rain.

Now, it seems like there is no way out.

"What should I do next..." Kasumigaoka Shiyu lowered her head slightly, thinking quietly.

It should be said that she was worried. She originally tried to calm down and get along with her savior again, and see how she could convey her gratitude and concern to him in the short future. However, the appearance of Eri Sawamura disrupted her plan once again.

History is always so similar... It seems that God has destined Kasumigaoka Shiu and Sawamura Eri to be rivals. No matter she has chosen to start over, the one with the golden twin tails will always be able to beat her on the road. One step... And she also knows Yinglili's mood. She is very close to Li Yan and treats Li Yan as a best friend. But after all, her and Yinglili's situation is still so similar, which is the key to the trouble.

The sky is gray, white rain and mist are lingering, the soaked clothes cling tightly to the body, and water drops keep dripping...

Why, she felt that her mood was as bad as the sky...

But at this time, Kasumigaoka Shiyu noticed a figure watching her. At this moment, a strange and cute black-haired girl holding an umbrella and wearing shorts and a large T-shirt stared blankly at her hiding from the rain. As a result, the two of them fell in love with each other. After looking into each other's eyes, this stranger girl who was afraid of strangers felt a little embarrassed.

It has to be said that Kasumigaoka Shiyu's aura is quite strong. Even if she does not mean any hostility, she will always reveal an aura that is not easy to get close to.

"Um... didn't you bring an umbrella?" The girl with a warm smile walked forward and asked.

"...Well, this is my first time here." Kasumigaoka Shiyu was silent for a while, showing a slightly indifferent expression, and closed her eyes before answering.

This seems to be her most common attitude towards strangers. Keeping a certain distance is a way to protect herself. It is also because of this communication barrier that she actually doesn't have many close friends in high school. In fact, not many classmates spoke...even though many people thought she was really good and tried to get close to her.

The girl who was a little taller than her looked a little nervous, and seemed to feel that Kasumigaoka Shiyu was not easy to communicate with. She continued to smile hesitantly and said: "Ah, um... are you a foreigner? If you can... why don't you go sit inside for a while, you look like you're soaked all over, you'll catch a cold if you take shelter here from the rain."

"..."

Kasumigaoka Shiyu looked quietly at this girl who seemed a little shy and shy, reacting like a child, then she lowered her head slightly and said calmly: "Sorry, I may go back after the rain stops, thank you of kindness.”

"Um..." This girl with a delicate face and gentle personality was naturally Ichijo Hotaru who was rushing to Li Yan's house. After all, senior Koshigaya Xiaoju asked her to come with her to study comics, so she hurriedly braved the heavy rain and met Here comes this beautiful beauty whom I have never seen before.
