I Am a Light Novel Master in Japan Chapter 693
The person who was hit came back to his senses under the sideways glances of passers-by. He was holding an umbrella, and most of his body was soaked from the impact. However, these were small things. He leaned down and helped the girl up. This girl, who looked like she had just entered elementary school, was easily lifted up by him as if she weighed almost nothing.
The girl who stood up and the two girls who came behind her turned blue with fear when they saw this person's face clearly.
This is a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old. He has a pretty and pretty face, but his slightly nervous eyes always feel a bit scary when he looks over.
The young man scolded: "How can you run like this on a rainy street? It's too dangerous."
The three girls were all frightened into silence. It was clear that the other person was not harsh when he scolded him, but the effect was extraordinary and immediately made the three girls tremble. They immediately bowed and shouted: "I'm... I'm sorry!"
The young man's originally slightly sad expression became increasingly troubled. Looking at this group of trembling brats, he knew very well that he had not been popular with children since he was a child. He slightly wanted to help the little girl with yellow hair wipe it, but he was so frightened that the three little girls were about to shed tears, and he stopped. However, he had spent time with Rumi Tsurumi and a group of kids who were about to go to junior high school, and he knew that they were probably frightened by his eyes. More than once, someone complained that when he was nervous, his eyes were too sharp, which would make him sensitive. Put too much psychological pressure on children.
[Beep beep beep! 】
The editing system in his consciousness suddenly rang, letting him know that he seemed to have encountered the marked character again.
Looking at these three children, he always remembered the scene when he met Gabriel and the others...
He was silent, looking at the group of brats for a long time, then he breathed a sigh of relief and asked: "Um, did I scare you... By the way, there is a pastry shop over there. I'll treat you three to a cake. After you finish, Then go home peacefully.”
The three girls were stunned for a moment, and looked up blankly at the figure with a somewhat unbearable expression. However, that bakery was all too familiar to them.
In the bakery, the three girls who had somehow earned after-school snacks were not polite at all. They ordered the three most expensive ones in the store, which included black forest, almond and fruit cake respectively, which made Li, who had originally paid a thousand yen, order After Yan stared at them with a complicated expression for a long time, he painfully took out two thousand yen to settle the bill.
"Thank you, big brother with fierce eyes!"
The three girls shouted happily.
Li Yan covered his heart and was in agony.
Xiaoxing happily planned to eat while watching the animation, but when she saw the heavy rain outside, she pulled the junior high school girl who had just come back and noticed the three imps and the strange young man, and said: "Nonoka, the three of us can stay at your house and watch anime."
This junior high school girl with short hair came back to her senses and said with a straight face: "You should add a sister at the end. It's so rude. By the way, who is that handsome guy? Your neighbor Or a relative? I haven’t seen him yet.”
There were two cherry-like blushes on her cheeks, and she asked with a little excitement.
A girl with a relatively calm personality said: "That person was hit by Xiaoxing, so he invited us to eat cake."
The female junior high school student was stunned. Such a good thing happened. She bumped into someone on the road and was invited to eat cake. How come she had not encountered such a good thing?
The heavy rain showed no sign of letting up. Li Yan was a little relieved after knowing that these three children were familiar with this store. The shop owner gave him the money back and said with a smile: "Those three little guys seem to have caused you trouble. I'm so sorry."
Li Yan shook his head and said, "It's okay, he is still a child after all."
The shop owner nodded and said: "They have just entered elementary school, but the things they think about are very interesting and valuable. It's great. At least they didn't cause any big trouble today. This little brother , you don’t seem very happy.”
Li Yan was silent for a moment and said: "Recently... I have lost contact with my friends. I can't contact them no matter what. In the future, more and more friends will lose contact with me. The reasons are somewhat complicated..."
The shop owner nodded and said, "I see, that's why you are so anxious."
Li Yan pondered for a while and said: "But, if this is the case, when they all forget me, maybe... it won't be a big problem, as long as we are safe with each other, remember me, or not. Staying with me is actually not a serious matter..."
The shop owner listened quietly, but shook his head and interrupted Li Yan's words. He said with a serious expression: "What are you talking about? How can it not be serious? I can see that you have very good feelings for them. How can you not remember the fate and bond that you finally have? It doesn't matter. Such a life experience The most noble experience in life has been deprived of you. If you let it go, it will be really difficult to get it back. So, do something you can do and don’t give up like this. They should also work hard to find and follow them. How to contact you."
Li Yan's body suddenly shook, and after hearing these words, his originally gloomy look became even gloomier.
After being alone for a long time, I hope that there is something in my heart that I am unwilling to let go of. Perhaps, this is the so-called bond...
With the rustling sound of rain, Li Yan raised his head slightly and looked at the empty rainy sky.
Chapter 334 Instigating rebellion, the partners are facing dissolution
At 8:45 a.m. the next day, Sanwa Bunko Building, Shinjuku Ward.
The sky cleared, and a sunny morning light fell around the city. The busy office area seemed to have never stopped and was still in full swing. A phone call made Li Yan rush to Sanhe Library headquarters. He heard that this time was an important matter.
Sanhe Bunku has come and gone dozens of times, but every time I come in, there is an indescribable sense of freshness for the author. As it should be, Bunku is a publishing house that mainly deals with novels and comics, but From the appearance, it always looks more like an IT company. Every day, countless newcomers sit in the waiting room with manuscripts and paintings to be reviewed by editors. They are young and old, and the novel and illustration market is still a huge desire for young and middle-aged people. An ideal place to work. Therefore, as long as I come here once and be stared at by a group of newcomers, I will always have a vague sense of accomplishment from the seniors and a slight sense of urgency.
As the saying goes, the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and the people of today are better than the people of the past... As an "ancient man", he naturally understands the fierce competition.
Li Yan was not in good spirits. Even when he faced difficult problems, he still remembered what the store owner said before, did what he should do, and studied some excellent short essays to prepare for Amano. Senior sister and Hagimura Suzu prepare to participate in the literary awards together.
When walking to the corridor outside Kagurazaka Iris' dedicated office, Li Yan saw a familiar figure, and Sawamura Eiri was also called over.
This female high school student with blond hair and blue eyes was a little distracted at the moment. She leaned against the wall, lowered her head and looked at the empty floor, with an unhappy expression on her face, as if she was in a mood.
Li Yan saw this, with an expression of fear of trouble on his face, and stopped slightly, feeling that it would be better not to get close to Ying Lili like this now. Unexpectedly, Li Yan's footsteps suddenly stopped, which aroused Ying Lili's alert. She raised her head and looked up. When she saw that the person coming was Li Yan, Xiumei frowned even tighter and asked coldly: "You are standing there stupidly. What are you doing, idiot Lee?"
Li Yan always felt that Yinglili always used his last name when giving him nicknames. He showed a somewhat helpless expression and asked with some vigilance: "Yinglili, are you in a bad mood?"
As soon as Sawamura Eiri heard this, she closed her eyes, turned her head away, and snorted and said: "It's so long-winded... I don't have it. Stop thinking about it."
Li Yan saw Ying Lili tapping her toes on the ground impatiently, and he knew that he couldn't provoke this emotional girl who was in a bad mood now.
A few minutes later, Eri Sawamura's mood gradually recovered. She folded her arms around her chest, leaned her well-proportioned body against the wall, and was immersed in her heart. The sound of phones, yelling at meetings, and the quiet sounds of printers spitting out paper were all around her. Somewhat hazy and translucent, she turned her face and glanced at Li Yan for a few times, with a somewhat complicated mood. Finally, she glanced at him and asked: "Miss Kagurazaka has gone to a meeting now. She looks very cautious. Hey, otaku Li, Do you know why she called us here?”
Li Yan shook his head and said, "I just said that you have something very important to tell me. I didn't even know you were here."
Sawamura Eiri glared at him and asked in a low voice unhappily: "What? You are one of Sanwa's ace writers. Use your reasonable rights to ask clearly... Miss Kagurazaka is also true , is this really a waste of the author’s time?”
At this moment, the voice of Kagurazaka Iris came from not far away: "Sorry, sorry, Mr. Kashiwagi, I know that the author's time is precious, so I called you here. It is indeed a very important matter. I’m here to discuss it with you, and it’s a confidential business matter.”
Eiri let out a cry of surprise, and her ponytails flew up in fright. Her complaining words were actually heard by Kagurazaka Iris, and her face was full of blush and embarrassment, like a child who had done something wrong, quite uneasy.
As a result, Kagurazaka Iris, who was carrying a pile of documents, didn't seem to care at all. She walked towards her office. She looked at Eirili with a smile, then looked at Li Yan, and said, "Excuse me, please open it for me." Door."
The door opened with a click, and inside was a pile of documents, books, sleeping bags, instant noodles, and various energy drinks.
Li Yan and Eiri Sawamura always find it shocking to know what kind of work and life make the office look like this...
The three of them walked into the office. Kagurazaka Iris put down the heavy documents and rubbed his shoulders a little. After serving three cups of coffee, he invited them to sit down and said with a relaxed smile: "I'm sorry. I’ve been working overtime a lot lately and it’s a bit messy here, which is really rude.”
Sawamura Eiri looked at Kagurazaka Iris with a strange look and said: "It's okay..."
Kagurazaka Iris sat on the sofa, still maintaining enough energy, and said with a faint smile: "I called you here today because of the matters related to the fourth season of animation production after the completion of "Super Academy War" , I need to seek the opinions of the two copyright owners of the work."
Upon hearing this sentence, both Li Yan and Eiri were slightly startled. Li Yan asked, "What is it? Shouldn't Musashida Company be solely responsible for such matters?"
Kagurazaka Iris nodded, with a slightly complicated look on his face, and said: "Actually, I also think Musashida Company is doing a very good job. At least they are very attentive to the animation, but..."
Yinglili asked with concern: "Just what?"
Kagurazaka Iris breathed out, and she handed a document from Sanwa Bunko to Li Yan and Eiri. When Li Yan and Eiri started to read the document, she explained: "It's just that after the novel was released, a company , came up with a plan that Musashida and Sanwa Bunko's planning team could not resist, and could make a more effective adaptation of "Super Academy War", so our company decided to cooperate with this company, so... Mr. Uesugi , Teacher Kashiwagi, do you two allow this kind of business planning? But it doesn’t matter if you don’t need to reply now. Before that, it would be better for you two to meet and chat with the new planner in person. The only thing she asked for cooperation The condition is that you two meet at her home."
Li Yan didn't have any objections and asked, "Does Miss Kagurazaka also think their plan is better?"
After Kagurazaka Airi heard this, he weighed it carefully for a while and then smiled.
Li Yan felt that there was no need for him to question the planner who could suppress even Kagurazaka Iris. Even though he was a first-tier light novel writer, as an author who had debuted for two years, his qualifications were not yet high enough for him to put on airs.
