I Am a Light Novel Master in Japan Chapter 506
Soon, Ogasawara Riko stood up, took the cup, and went to pour another cup.
When she walked out, she specifically observed the atmosphere in the office area. It turned out that it was quiet, and everyone was busy working, including the back of a certain girl who was working hard on creating the original painting.
"..."
Ogasawara Renko stared at Ema Yasuhara's back. She didn't know why, but suddenly thought of that figure in her heart.
Li Yan is a close friend of the cartoonist Eri Kashiwagi who created the "Soul Eater" manga and is an international student at the University of Tokyo. Of course, she only had so much information about Li Yan, but it was already within the scope of the confidentiality agreement.
However, in the past few days, Li Yan seemed to have been chatting with Aoi Miyamori and Ema Yasuhara frequently. He usually came here at noon or late at night, usually submitting information for Mr. Kashiwagi, and going back and forth for a while. The number of times was a bit too many. She probably heard some of the reasons...
However, she didn't dislike it herself. On the contrary, she seemed to have the impression that it would be good to see more of it.
The 27-year-old has never felt like wanting to see someone again after seeing someone, and she still doesn't know why...
"……strangeness."
She closed her eyes and muttered silently to herself.
However, in about a minute, Ogasawara Riko was walking in the corridor with a cup of black tea in her hand, when she saw a strange yet familiar person standing at the door of the office area, holding a small notebook and doing the work of an "agent". figure.
A young company client whom she met a few days ago gave her a very good character analysis, but now his face was tense and he was recording the time, the other party's status, and precautions.
"...This is a crime, sir."
Ogasawara Riko looked at it and seemed a little unable to bear it, so she woke up and said in a calm voice.
"?!"
Li Yan was immediately startled. His eyes widened and he turned around to look at Riko Ogasawara behind him with a look of shock.
"Who I thought it was, turned out to be Miss Ogasawara..."
Li Yan was slightly relieved when he saw this company painting supervisor with a cold gothic lolita face and a royal-sister temperament, and whispered.
"Why are you relieved? Don't think of me as your husband's accomplice. What are you doing?"
Ogasawara Riko's face remained unchanged and she asked with a faint look in her eyes.
Li Yan didn't know how to respond to this question. His expression was extremely complicated, and he seemed to be able to reveal it to her, but he couldn't admit it frankly here.
"..."
Ogasawara Riko didn't mean to ask. She seemed to realize something. After thinking about it for a while, she seemed to find a trace of fun in it. She suddenly said: "By the way, I promised you to repay your help last time and I have fulfilled it today." .”
Under the light of the corridor, the girl in black Gothic clothing raised her head and asked: "Since it's something that can't be discussed here, then it's okay to go outdoors... So why don't I invite you to play baseball now?" .”
As she spoke, the face of this pretty girl showed a slight sneer like a lady.
Noon, 12:11.
Under a clear winter sky, Li Yan drove his car and took Ogasawara Riko to a large indoor baseball stadium.
--【pound! 】
With a crisp sound, the straight ball thrown quickly from the catapult was accurately hit a home run. A domineering wind swept up. The girl held the bat steadily with both hands, her long brown hair flowing, showing A beautiful picture of dominance and elegance.
"..."
Li Yan was a little dumbfounded that a painting supervisor could have such good baseball skills!
Japan is a country of baseball. Baseball sports training and club activities have been held almost since elementary school. What is a little strange and confusing is that Japan, which has less land and more people, is better at sports that require a wide field, and it has a vast and surging atmosphere. Although the motherland is territorial, it is better at ball games that do not require too many venues.
On the way, Li Yanyou thought rationally.
Ogasawara Riko, as a high-level executive in the entire field of painting, got acquainted with this unique girl by accident. If he relied on the understanding and strength of this supervisor, he would be very helpful in taking care of and assisting Ema Yasuhara. helpful.
He couldn't always observe Ema Yasuhara at Musashida Animation, and it was not easy to improve the current situation for Ema Yasuhara on behalf of the teacher. His attempts in the past few days made him understand that the prospect was full of difficulties.
Therefore, he now hopes that Miss Ogasawara Riko can provide some help after understanding their predicament. This would be the best...
"This society needs to speak with strength."
After getting out of Li Yan's car, Ogasawara Renko, who was silent all the way, said her first words to Li Yan after a long silence.
Her appearance and outfit attracted the attention of passers-by on the street as soon as she got out of the car, especially men. I dare to ask which Japanese male does not have a desire and yearning for a gothic girl in his heart, just like a lolita from an imaginary world in anime. The detective lady, the gothic lolita doll who started a magical war, and the blonde, blue-eyed, petite vampire girl...
Gothic represents elegance, civilization and mystery.
At that time, I was standing in the street. Her elegant appearance, long brown European-style hair, and cold and queen-like temperament almost perfectly defined the beauty of the Gothic style. With such a straight face, she was so similar to Kasumigaoka Shiha. .
"...There is nothing wrong with this sentence." Li Yan was stunned for a moment, then showed a somewhat troubled look, thinking to himself.
"This is my holy place. People from Musashida Animation will rarely come here. It is a place where I can focus moderately and relax, and I can talk freely here."
Riko Ogasawara prepared to hit the baseball again and spoke in a quiet and elegant voice.
"...Ms. Ogasawara, do you want to know about Miss Yasuhara?" Li Yan on the side asked doubtfully.
"I saw an important customer of the company doing the same thing as a lunatic and an agent in the company. If I don't ask more questions, how can I know that you are trustworthy, Mr. Li?"
Ogasawara Riko asked coldly.
Li Yan's face became a little embarrassed and helpless.
"..."
Li Yan thought for a moment and had to compromise. After all, Ogasawara Renko was Ema Yasuhara's boss and she had a certain right to know. If she knew more, it would be more beneficial to some of his future work.
"Miss Ema Yasuhara's father is my current mentor at university."
Li Yan was silent for a moment, then opened his mouth to explain to Ogasawara Riko the increasingly complicated connection between him and Ema Yasuhara...
※※※
In the baseball field, about ten minutes of paid time were wasted. Ogasawara Riko's eyes showed a little melancholy, and she stood calmly in the field, holding the baseball in her hands, and gradually relaxed.
"...So, you, a top student, are like a loyal knight in the Middle Ages. In order to repay your teacher's kindness, you find various excuses to go to Musashida Company to observe Miss Yasuhara's situation every day?"
Ogasawara Renko pondered for a while and asked.
"..."
Li Yan was slightly stunned when he heard what Riko Ogasawara said.
Although Ogasawara Renko's tone contained some understanding and respect for what Li Yan had done, she didn't seem to agree with his decision.
Li Yan's memory unknowingly recalled the back figure of his daughter, who was so lonely and helpless, like a caretaker in his dying years. A trace of pain flashed in his eyes, and he said slowly: "This shouldn't be considered... The question of loyalty…”
