I Am a Light Novel Master in Japan Chapter 646
However, after listening to Eiri's words, Kasumigaoka Shiyu, who used to have many conflicts with each other, seems to have gradually disappeared after getting to know each other better.
There are still a few minutes left before the party ends.
The waiter began to distribute drinks and red wine to every guest present. Liangfeng Aoye got the juice drink, and Hifumi and others got the wine. The atmosphere had reached just the right stage. People dressed in dignified and gorgeous clothes were pigs. When Bi finally clinked glasses to wish the follow-up success of "Monster Hunting World", Li Yan finally finished the phone call.
"Senior, what are you thinking about? Here, I know you probably like Pepsi the most, right?"
Liangfeng Qingye handed a drink to Li Yan and asked with a smile.
Li Yan turned around and looked at Qingye with a complicated expression.
"Sorry... Qingye, I can't attend the end of the banquet. I have an important thing to go out for. Congratulations, Qingye, you have worked really hard these days."
Li Yan looked at Liangfeng Aoye who was slightly stunned. At the end of his explanation, he told this outstanding junior his joyful feelings about Aoye's success.
"...I understand. There must be something important. It's almost time to leave now. I will explain it to others. The joy of winning the ranking is nothing more valuable than the happy reaction of the seniors... So , Senior, are you leaving now?"
Liangfeng Aoye was startled, and soon understood everything. She showed a bright smile and asked.
"...Yeah, because...it's raining."
Li Yan turned his head and looked at the huge and dark window facing him. There was a pattering of black rain behind him at the moment, and said.
The countdown to the banquet has finally begun.
"5!"
——[I just heard the third grade teachers talking about this matter when they were chatting today. 】
"4!"
——[That guy from Kasumigaoka seems to have voluntarily given up his recommendation a long time ago, secretly enrolled in the cram school at Tokyo University without telling his classmates, and studies hard every day to take the law entrance exam at Tokyo University...]
"3!"
——[However, there are many more students applying for finance and law this year than before. They are all top students from all over the country. Even if the guy from Kasumigaoka has the ability to be recommended to Waseda, but... As expected... Still too pushy. 】
"2!"
——[The results of Tokyo University were released today... I heard from the teacher that Kasumigaoka's total score was less than ten points and failed. That fool never came home and didn't answer the phone. He has disappeared for a long time. 】
——[The teacher is worried that she still insists on going to Tokyo University and misses the second chance to take the exam at Waseda University. So, Otaku Li, no matter what, a few of us are going to find her today! Don't let her waste her opportunity, otherwise...]
"1!!!"
Li Yan had already gone down to the second floor. As a result, when he understood that Kasumigaoka Shiyu was in the most pain at the moment, vigorous blessings and cheers came from the top of the building.
Kasumigaoka Shiyu failed the exam...
Eiriri herself has been looking for Kasumigaoka Shiu for several hours.
There was a black rain outside, and Li Yan looked around blankly with a frown. At this moment, he was too far away from Eiri and Kasumigaoka Shiyu...
"..."
Kasumigaoka Shiyu must have a reason to take the gamble.
But, no matter what...
Seeing a cold rainy scene in front of him, Li Yan felt the need to find her and have a good talk...
※※※
The urban area between Tokyo and Saitama.
On a gentle commercial street, the stone slabs were washed black and shiny by the rain. Warm lanterns shone on this somewhat empty pedestrian street, and rain curtains continued to flow down from the eaves.
This kind of rain and fog is quite bitingly cold.
In the cold and dark world, the girl raised her head and looked at the familiar scenery.
Very lonely feeling...
This feeling is like a big gamble. Amidst the constant ups and downs, there is still a strong impulse to move towards the vague dawn, hoping to try it a second time.
There are indeed too many deceptive elements in youth novels about campus... It's not that easy to protect others.
She thought sadly.
swish swish...
The rain was pattering at night.
Just giving up the college recommendation and risking losing precious college opportunities... she felt an overwhelming weight.
In the dim Japanese street, the girl lowered her head and sadly admitted this cowardice.
However, no matter what, these are not as heavy as the risk taken by someone who is desperately trying to survive...
"I... am really useless..."
Doing this is definitely ten thousand times more difficult than imagined...
The indifferent Li Yan has never done anything related to love.
Some only work hard for three meals a day and study.
Some, in the flames and thorns, bathed in blood, he fought ferociously...
A college student who can't match a decent romance or fun, is not too interested in love and girls, it seems that this is enough to satisfy him.
But Kasumigaoka Shiyu doesn't know why, she thinks this is very romantic.
She raised her head. In the end, her wish was very simple. She just didn't want someone who died once, saved her, and worked harder than anyone else... to be hurt again...
Chapter 315 The University of Tokyo that has not graduated yet
Drops of rain fall on a residential area of traditional houses by the river.
In a wet, long and narrow Japanese-style street, there are black roofs, black street flagstones, and signboards with Chinese characters written in calligraphy everywhere. The sky above the street is filled with dense wires, street lights, and the white lights of the signboards and the dark red light of the lanterns. This street looks like a commercial street in the 1970s and 1980s.
Li Yan found out from Eiri that some of Kasumigaoka Shiyu's favorite places were this old street called Ichimachi.
It is already 7:13 now, and the streets are full of office workers and students going to and from home, and the atmosphere is full of life.
In the vast sea of people, Li Yan stood alone under the rain holding a transparent umbrella.
"...There are too many pedestrians on this street."
