I Am a Light Novel Master in Japan Chapter 659

Suddenly, where on earth is he taking her...

She looked at this one with some worry and put on this white coat again. This one was an Oriental who was a little taller than her. Such a body and figure were definitely not strong in Europe, but she didn't know where. With the power that came, he defeated a dozen gangsters from South Asia in an instant, almost a replica of Bruce Lee... However, she always felt that those movies could not explain the principle of quickly eliminating that group of people.

The movements were too fast and too simple, focusing on restraining and hitting the ribs and jaws. Basically, the group of people suffered concussions and fainted.

Rita secretly looked at the figure next to her that looked dim in the sun with some fear and curiosity. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this person was indeed extraordinary and somewhat incredible.

It's a bit like encountering a traveler from another world.

"Well, Li..."

Rita waited for the train to pass. During this period of time, she finally didn't understand Li Yan's mood and asked: "...Suddenly I want to witness Mashiro's achievements. What achievements are they?"

Li Yan on the side looked at Rita in the noisy environment and explained: "I don't know what else Mashiro's cousin said in the UK, but about the dispute between Sakurasou and me over Mashiro's custody. Things did happen, even if they were conflicts several times, but as expected, this could not be solved by a few quarrels, or by getting hesitant approval from the Shiina family... To ensure that Mashiro follows his own path, it is not so easy to win over Arrived."

It is not easy for Mashiro to follow the path of ordinary people.

Including Li Yan's two experiences of "robbing people" from Sakurasou, as well as Mashiro's father suddenly appearing and taking Mashiro back to England...

Almost everyone close to Mashiro is worried and full of prejudice against the path chosen by Mashiro Shiina...

Today, Nanami is the only person around her who understands Mashiro's current creation and life amidst the opposition.

To this day, Li Yan, as an outsider, wants to protect Zhenbai's current life, which can be described as full of twists and turns and troubles.

Nowadays, Li Yan, who is troubled by rumors and criticism, has become more and more aware that Mashiro Shiina, a person who lives in a life that is considered and determined, has suffered far more than the pressure he is experiencing now.

Perhaps, after Rita brings what she sees and hears from Japan back to Europe, Mashiro's family can truly affirm and understand Mashiro's lifestyle.

If you can change one thing for Mashiro, it counts...

Therefore, he wanted to take Rita to witness the differences between him and Sakurasou.

"Rita, I understand what you said at the beginning, but after all, I feel that this is too cruel to Mashiro. She has been trained as a painter since she was born. Her fingertips are likely to create world-shaking, celebrity-like works." A historical painting, but Mashiro is not a special painting prop, nor is it a piece of white paper simply made of matter. She is a talented painter, but the premise is that she is also a human being. Human beings must look like human beings alive. I will take you there What you see is Mashiro working hard as a manga artist."

Li Yan stood on the tram whirring by, and there was a "whoosh" sound, and a cold wind hung around him. His and Rita's clothes were shaking. This man who understood life spoke the truth to Rita. The shortcomings in life.

"..." Rita was a little dumbfounded, and fell silent while listening to the sound of the track [ticking, ticking].

Humanity……

Rita's expression began to dim. When she heard Li Yan mention "Mashiro is a human being", for some reason, her heart felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave. Something seemed to have been revealed, a cruel fact towards Mashiro.

Of course Mashiro is alone, but she doesn’t know why or where it started. Rita and the people around her feel that Mashiro is too special and is treated differently from ordinary people. Today, Mashiro has always been with Hua When you grow up, with such innocence...are you treated as an adult in a real sense by the people around you?

No one is aware of this, and they all feel that this is a good arrangement for Mashiro, which invisibly deprives Shiina Mashiro of her rights as a "human being"...

"This is the first time I heard someone commenting on Mashiro like this..."

Rita said quietly.

"Everyone is looking at Mashiro's extraordinary features. No one has ever thought that... someone would fight for an ordinary life for Mashiro..."

Rita's blond hair flowed and she smiled.

She has always had some understanding of men, and has always suffered from a psychological defect called "heterophobia", but for some unknown reason, this morning, her fearful mentality disappeared.

She looked at Li Yan's face and couldn't help but giggle.

"What...what happened?" Li Yan didn't quite understand and asked.

"...It's okay, I just feel a little surprised and a little relieved."

Rita's cheeks turned a little red, she showed that happy smile and said to Li Yan.

This person is very gentle, so gentle that he has a harmless aura.

Just like the oil painting conceived by Mashiro, the red and black oil painting has only the white back symbolizing safety and brightness. White is the color of tranquility and peace, which is indeed quite consistent with the name "Back of Sherlock Holmes"...

※※※

A large block of high-rise buildings covered with anime posters. At 9 o'clock, there is already a sea of ​​people here. This is a street dedicated to two-dimensional sales. Although Akihabara is the most famous and largest anime-themed commercial area, it is similar to Commercial districts in Akihabara can be found in various wards in Tokyo.

At the entrance of a bookstore, there is an endless stream of people coming in and out.

On the track area not far away, another tram roared past soon.

A blond mixed-race girl stood at the door of the bookstore, with a tram passing quickly behind her. She let her hair flutter, and in her calm appearance, her bright eyes kept staring at the door, but she did not move forward.

The sky is cloudy, sometimes cloudy, sometimes the sun shines through the clouds and falls on this street.

After coming over, Rita and Li Yan quickly discovered Mashiro who had arrived at the door. However, under Li Yan's signal, they all hid at the edge of a relatively hidden commercial alley, observing the expressionless beautiful girl. .

However, Rita observed for two minutes and saw no other actions from Mashiro, which made her ask in confusion.

"That guy Mashiro, after his debut, he has never dared to enter any comic shop."

Li Yan quickly answered Rita's doubts.

"Eh?"

Rita was stunned and looked at Li Yan.

Li Yan was silent for a while, looked at the motionless Mashiro, and explained: "She has never dared to see her works or her readers in a bookstore until now."

"...This is impossible." Rita was stunned for a while, with a look of disbelief on her face.

Rita said with absolute conviction: "In art exhibitions in the UK, Italy, and France, as an author, Mashiro will face her audience from the beginning to the end. It is absolutely impossible to be afraid of how her works will be expressed. oh."

"……it's out of the question."

Li Yan denied Rita's words.

"As long as you are a creator, it is impossible not to care. We creators create works for others to appreciate and recognize. Therefore, every painting exhibition of Mashiro will also be stressful...otherwise, how could she hear that child After evaluating comics, why do you suddenly want to be a cartoonist?" Li Yan looked down at Rita with his all-seeing eyes and explained.

"..." Rita was silent. When she looked at Mashiro again, she had mixed emotions.

As a painter, she knows very well that Li Yan is probably right. There is no creator in the world who doesn't care about readers. Creators can be said to be the group of people who love this world most and long to be recognized by the world. .

When people feel that they cannot enter Mashiro's sight, everything in the world is often mutual, and they have not really seen Mashiro's true appearance...

"The sales of Shiina's works have been quite good. After their debut, the works were ranked in the top ten in popularity in serial magazines. The plot has twists and turns, the painting style is novel, the characters are unique, and the reviews are very good. The animation is being prepared. The author should It's better to be confident... But... there is competition in works that are defined as commodities from the beginning. Things like popularity always turn into concrete answers, telling the author the cruel competition situation... It is still a good work , but this is not what a painter can experience in a scene where people are coming and going. Just imagine, if you, as an author, stand in front of the row of bookshelves with your works, you have not sold anything for ten minutes, twenty minutes, or an hour. Publishing a comic is undoubtedly the most terrifying punishment for an author... Or, when reading your comics, saying "boring" would be a terrible devastation to an author who has worked hard to the extreme. Therefore, for Mashiro, she has seen the data of her works, and the manga bookstore has become an insurmountable barrier for her to protect her confidence in painting."

Li Yan informed Rita about the creative situation of Japanese cartoonists and novelists.

"...Then why, why is it necessary to let Mashiro stay in a place where she can get hurt? As expected, it is better to take her back to England..."

Rita, who heard Mashiro's burdened mood, lowered her head slightly and asked quietly and urgently.
