I Am a Light Novel Master in Japan Chapter 431
In the residential areas of Tokyo, the chirping of chaffinches resounded through the dusk. Houses on both sides of the quiet streets had begun to light up indoor lights. The hazy scenery ushered in this busy city. The quiet moments of dusk.
"Please respect me, I have already decided, that's it, I hope you won't force me anymore, mom!"
In a house with a door sign that read "Cool Breeze", a girl's voice suddenly broke the silence. The voice was a little angry, and she seemed to be trying hard to gain recognition. However, the door of the house suddenly opened, and a girl wearing a white shirt style school uniform suddenly opened. The girl with blue hair and twin tails walked out of the door with a straight face as if she had escaped, and then closed the door behind her.
Her beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly, and she closed her eyes with a bit of annoyance. Finally, the girl, who had always been relatively calm and optimistic, gradually relaxed her brows, quietly looked at the flaming clouds on the horizon, and then took steps. Take a walk outside for a little while to calm down your mind.
Liangfeng Aoba is a third-year high school student and a candidate for the exam in January of the following year. His academic performance in liberal arts is good in the school. His hobbies are games and painting. He has been an elite member of the art club for three years in high school.
"Forehead……"
She sighed softly and looked at the questionnaire for further studies in her hand. She directly wrote three responses to "Employment". As a result, her mother was called to the school by the teacher. However, when she came back today, she was Her mother was strongly opposed. After all, based on her grades, she had a high chance of getting into a good university.
However, the tuition fees of various art academies are also relatively expensive. She has observed it for a long time and always feels that if she can gain work experience in society as early as possible and become an adult as soon as possible, the tuition fees may be expensive and she will have to spend another four years in the academy. It took time for her to be exposed to the career she longed for again, which made her feel a little unable to wait any longer.
The streets were dimly lit, it was getting later and later, the street lights were bright and there were countless people.
"Huh~~~ I shouldn't be angry with my mother. After all, this is Japan where academic qualifications are paramount. Even if I really have a certain degree of confidence in my skills, if I fail... I will become a [ Ronin], obviously he can still get into college."
Liangfeng Qingye lowered her head slightly, her cute and delicate baby face showing a disproportionate sense of confusion. As she walked, she stood under the street lamp, meditating quietly.
Her friend Ying Ningning has decided to take the law exam, and her classmate Ying Ning has also decided to study in France. That is to say, she herself has secretly chosen a different path from them.
"I always feel that if I didn't have the profession of character designer, I always feel that if I could have been exposed to workplace learning earlier, I would have... definitely learned more interesting professional experiences."
The evening breeze slightly lifted the ends of the girl's ponytail, and Aoba silently held her hand in the cool breeze, thinking to herself.
Her dream is to be a game character designer. She has been unswervingly moving towards her dream since she was a child.
However, there was still some time before dinner time, and Liangfeng Aoye was looking around in the commercial street alone, not knowing how to best kill his time next.
While she was still thinking, behind her, a young man had already put away his bicycle and entered the bookstore with a heavy heart.
"Mom... I guess she's still angry." She thought helplessly, quite afraid of her mother who was still angry.
So, where to go next, go to Ning Ning’s house to sit for a while, or just walk away and go back to admit your mistake...
However, her mother used the scary scenes in the workplace, the scary scenes on the tram, and the scary aspects of interpersonal relationships to pressure her. No matter what, she couldn't go back immediately, and she had to express her attitude to her parents.
As a result, when she was at her wits end, she accidentally saw the large bookstore that she had been passing by when she was at school. After being silent for a while, she hesitated a little, and then began to walk into the bookstore where there were not many customers.
Game magazine section.
"Eh?"
Liangfeng Aoye stood blankly, looking at the deserted row of game magazine stalls, and unexpectedly met a familiar stranger. At this moment, this young man was already flipping through some stand-alone magazines.
"I remember... I always met a college student when I was in school. He was riding an old bicycle. Because he was a handsome guy, he always attracted Ning Ningjiang's attention. I met him too many times a year, so I almost remember his appearance..."
She watched silently.
"..."
After watching for a while, Liangfeng Aoye always felt that this person seemed to be worried about something. While looking for a magazine, he frowned and took out a small notebook in his pocket to record something, completely ignoring the surroundings. Case.
However, after hesitating for a while, Liangfeng Aoye was still feeling inexplicable embarrassment, so she chose to avoid it and went to the magazine corridor on the other side. Strangers are strangers, no matter how many times they meet. We are just passers-by.
"I'm looking for it, I'm looking for it..."
The girl who bent down to look for the magazine muttered to herself, and soon found the latest issue of "Game Sunshine" magazine. She picked it up with joy and thought with a smile: "Great, I found it. Ever since When I was in my third year of high school, my mother didn’t allow me to bring the magazine back.”
She opened it and looked at the new game published in it with a nostalgic mood.
Game, this kind of thing is probably not something that mainstream girls like.
However, her preferences are somewhat close to those of boys... No, it should be said that her study and love of games even exceed those of boys, so she has a pile of game magazines hidden in the drawer in her room.
"However, now those books have been taken away and thrown away by my mother... It's too much. She doesn't respect my preferences and persistence at all." Liangfeng Aoye thought to himself with a sigh.
However, I flipped through the magazine and took a look at the latest game news. The introduction of "Call of Duty: Black Ops 14" and the latest work in the "Valkyrie" series seemed to be about to be released, which made her look forward to it.
American games and Japanese games each have their own advantages and styles, and they are both her favorites...but FPS is not a game she is good at.
"Sure enough, Japanese-style games are Japanese favorites."
Liangfeng Aoye thought for a moment, thinking silently.
However, after turning the next page, the latest news made Liangfeng Aoye freeze for a moment...
The sales of Eagle Jump's latest work "Star Kingdom" are sluggish. The magazine once again explained the shortcomings of this new work, and also began to elaborate on the decline of Japanese RPGs.
Just over a thousand words of analysis and illustrations tell the story of this company's journey from glory to struggle. In the end, we are once again worried about the operating conditions of this small company that has produced classic games, and whether it is on the verge of bankruptcy again...
"...How could it be?" Liangfeng Qingye gradually fell into a dilemma of confusion and sadness.
My parents' opposition, my own confusion... As a result, even the game company I had loved since childhood was in bankruptcy... The sadness and pain of the whole day was suddenly detonated by this small opportunity, and I burst into tears. It also flows down that smooth cheek...
She didn't know how long it had been before she suddenly heard the sound of footsteps. In a quiet bookstore under a row of golden dusk light, the silent young man was looking at her silently at this moment.
"...Uh...Eh?!"
Liangfeng Qingye looked at Li Yan with tears in his eyes. However, immediately, his cheeks began to burn like a burning cloud, and he suddenly made a startled sound.
※※※
Afternoon, 6:25, Higurashi Bookstore, Tokyo.
Li Yan put the notebook on the shelf, looked at the tearful girl, her eyes were dull, but in the eyes of others she was very focused, and asked: "Are you okay? Do you need help?"
"Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes... I'm sorry!"
Liangfeng Aoye quickly bowed and apologized with tears that were too late to wipe away.
"...There is no need to apologize. I just heard the crying, so I just came over to take a look. It doesn't mean much." Li Yan looked at the girl who was always visible, stretched out his hand to calm down, and said.
"Yes..." Liangfeng Aoye said with an embarrassed smile.
I don’t know why, but the two people seemed to be talking to each other like this.
For a long time, passers-by and passers-by were just strangers no matter how they met by chance, but strangely, in the magazine area of the game, a conversation started because of her crying.
It's a bit of a shameful occasion...
Liangfeng Aoye shrank, worried that he didn't know what was going on today. Someone even saw him making a fool of himself.
Li Yan hesitated for a while. The person in front of him looked a little shy. It seemed that there was nothing special that needed help from others. As a result, one minute, two minutes... Such an inexplicable stalemate made Li Yan start to wonder what was going to happen next. How to treat it.
"Oops, I'm particularly bad at comforting others."
