I Am a Light Novel Master in Japan Chapter 423

"...No, I'll probably go back today. I'm just going to leave a little later. I'll handle all the procedures with Miss Miyauchi. By the way, Miss Kaga, what kind of food did you use to worship at the shrine? And pastries?”

When Li Yan answered, he suddenly realized the details of asking the locals for information. It would be more direct and accurate to try to figure out the preferences of the land god by himself. It would be more direct and accurate to ask the answer directly.

"Hey, do you want to pay homage when you leave?" Kagayama Kaede asked.

Li Yan hesitated for a while, then said with a smile: "Yes...after all, I am also half a resident here."

Kaede Kaga liked this sentence quite a lot. Naturally, she also hoped that more honest people would live in the village and it would be more lively. She received a lot of tourists, and this was the first time she heard someone sigh like this and smiled. Said: "Yes, the pastries made by the Shanfu Dim Sum Shop in the city are quite delicious, and they have always been offered as tribute to the gods. However, the journey is a bit long, and it takes two hours to go back and forth, which is a little troublesome..."

"I feel like there's nothing wrong. Miss Kaga, can you give me your address?" Li Yan immediately felt in his heart that the other party seemed to like eating such pastries, and his eyes widened as he asked.

As a result, after Li Yan bought some mineral water and snacks, he took the address and left.

By the way, he will also do some business for her. Kaede Kaga feels that this person is quite considerate. From all aspects, he probably understands why such a person coming in will make Fujinomiya Mumin, and several others The kid who has never seen a boy of similar age always goes to harass them.

"...But in such heavy rainy weather, we still have to worship the God of Wealth... Is it the custom in China to worship the God when you come in and out? If you can improve the business situation of the store after visiting the worship, I will give it a try. ”

Kaga Shanfeng quietly looked at the direction Li Yan left and thought to himself.

It takes almost four hours to go back and forth from Asahigaoka Village to the city. Everything in Asahigaoka Village is good, but this is the only thing that makes it special and un-Japanese. In Japan, where there are many convenience stores and restaurants, it rarely benefits rural areas in Japan, so Asahigaoka Village The village is somewhat similar to that in the United States. Every two weeks, they drive to the city to purchase large quantities.

[Rumble...]

Dull and flashing thunder and lightning roared ferociously in the sky, and the heavy rain in the sky became more and more intense. It was difficult to see the road conditions in the dark sky, the numbers were shaking, and the whole earth seemed to be shaking.

A Toyota Supra was driving on a winding mountain road in the wind and rain. However, Li Yan, who was sitting in the cab, began to feel that his eyes were blurred, he was dizzy, his limbs were weak, and he felt like he was about to catch a cold or have a fever.

"Ha ha……"

He panted slightly, felt his forehead getting hot, and secretly felt that something was wrong. During the past two weeks, he stayed up late to write, and finally completed the eighth volume. However, it seemed that his body was a little overwhelmed. He just caught a cold after being exposed to the rain for a few hours.

It took about two hours, and it was almost time to return to Asahi Qiu. I thought it would be a trivial matter, but it turned out to be so troublesome...

Farewell gifts for Renhua, the Koshigaya sisters and others were also bought and placed in the back of the car. After helping with such things, his class as a light novel teacher was finally over.

I held my body slightly firm and was driving on an eighteen-turn mountain road. Just as I was passing a turn, suddenly, the tires were unable to grip the ground in the too-smooth turn because the vehicle was going too fast, making a screeching sound. The "Boom" floated up directly. Li Yan was startled and immediately turned the steering wheel. Finally, in the chaos, the whole car hit the guardrail on Li Yan's side...

"Oops, haven't you changed the tire in a long time?! Supra!" Li Yan thought in shock as he watched his car slide all the way to the guardrail.

【pound--! ! ! 】

There was a heavy metal collision in the mountain road.

※※※

The heavy rain has begun to subside.

The Toyota Supra covered in mud slowly parked on a road in the village. The vehicle did not have any scratch marks. In the world of black rain, when turning, the Supra suddenly burst out with powerful force, like a jet. The car body and the guardrail were pushed apart, and after a section of the road guardrail was removed, the vehicle spun several times on the road before coming to a stop.

Heavy rain, coupled with lack of energy caused unstable speed control, and the tires had not been replaced in the last mountain track race, which almost led to some collision accidents.

Now that the heavy rain had subsided, after Li Yan got out of the car, he took out the tribute cakes he had prepared. As a result, when he opened one piece, he found that all the cakes inside were broken...

It can be said that going out is not smooth.

Now, I have absolutely no idea how to help Lianhua recover the souvenir Kangna gave her. He leaned on the car with some wetness all over his body, looking at the cakes, not sure what to do next.

"teacher?!"

Suddenly, on a sunny country road after rain, a girl's voice asked in surprise.

"Fuji Palace?" Li Yan looked at her, looking a little surprised, and asked.

"What's wrong, teacher? Why do you look so unwell?" Fujinomiya asked worriedly.

"Don't you have a fever? Is it okay to walk around in the rain like this?" Li Yan looked at her worriedly and asked.

"It's okay, my fever has gone down. The teacher left his cell phone at my house, and you don't seem to be at home. I'll wait until the rain subsides a little to go out and look for you at Sister Ichiho's place," Fujinomiya Kumi explained.

"...I'm sorry." Li Yan took the phone and said with a hint of apology.

"Teacher, did you buy pastries from Fukuyama Pastry Shop?" Fujinomiya Kumi was slightly startled, looking at the broken pastries held in Li Yan's hand, and asked.

"But, it looks like it's all broken into pieces. Why did the teacher buy such pastries? In our village, we usually worship the pastries from the Fukuyama store."

"...It's just for tribute, but now it seems that it would be too rude to pay tribute like this...But now there is no way to find more delicious food. This is really messed up." Li Yan looked at it He asked while looking at the cakes in the box.

"..." Fujinomiya Kimi looked at Li Yan with some surprise. Although it was not clear why Li Yan suddenly wanted to visit the shrine, he always felt that it was because they suddenly had a collective fever and planned to pray for blessings. However, when he heard the tribute food When he saw it, he blinked his eyes suddenly, smiled randomly and said: "Who said there is no such thing, teacher."

"??" Li Yan was stunned for a moment and looked at Fujinomiya Kumi.

"It's not just cakes that you can pay tribute to the gods. You can also provide delicacies provided by every household. Isn't the dish cooked by the teacher a delicacy?"

Fujinomiya, who was fully clothed, looked at Li Yan with a smile and said, "The spiral sword is very delicious."

…

Finally, when the rain passed and the sky cleared, Li Yan bravely offered the local Chinese delicacies he had brought to the little god who was still waiting there. As a result, the other party did not seem to shy away from such food, and even knew how to make it. How to eat.

After the mountain god finished eating the food, he clasped his hands together and returned Kang Na's horn to Li Yan as promised.

Then, Li Yan learned from the words of this god that this horn had the properties of thunder and lightning. It was not clear whether it could avoid lightning or attract lightning. As a result, this little god had carefully studied it, and it was generally clear that It was not after the items that attracted thunder that they were willing to return them to Li Yan.

——[Li, the cooking is delicious as always. Now you have become...very warm, and you are also full of hard work for this world. Come on...I am always behind you. 】

These are the words full of nostalgia left by the mountain god when he delivered the items to Li Yan. At that inadvertent moment, Li Yan seemed to see the other person's black hair, exposed from the turban. It was so beautiful, but it was like an illusion. In the blink of an eye, he never saw the other person again...

"..."

If the story in the dream is true, Li Yan will no longer be able to find the final answer to this story, but in the end, he just understands that after losing everything, he has always been loved from now on...

Uesugi Yan's rural writing came to an end in this ordinary way.

※※※

In the morning, 9:40, Chiba Makuhari Messe, Tokyo.

"Um……"

Kagurazaka Iris stared at his laptop, carefully reviewing the "Super Academy War: Volume 8" that had been edited and prepared for final official publication. Starting at almost four o'clock in the middle of the night, she was almost completely sleepless and has been reviewing it until now.

The first time is to quickly understand the plot, the second time is to feel the exciting content of the novel, and the third time is to figure out whether Uesugi Yan's plot arrangement will have a negative impact on subsequent writing.

After spending a lot of time reviewing it three times, the editor, who looked attentive and had dark circles under her eyes, finally relaxed a little and breathed a sigh of relief.

There are no major problems with the plot and illustrations of the 150,000-word eighth volume on the screen. She is still confident that after having so much time to edit, she can use the eighth volume to win the honor of being in the top ten on the sales list in September or even October. This is really lucky. I don’t know what kind of mysterious power it is that allows Uesugi Yan, who has learned to procrastinate since the third volume, to submit the manuscript many days in advance for the first time. It is really unprecedented.

"It's great, it's great, it's so happy..." Editor Kagurazaka Iris said to himself with a happy smile.
