I Am a Light Novel Master in Japan Chapter 694

However, Ying Lili next to Li Yan asked another question. Her face was a little ugly, and she asked unconvinced: "Wait a minute, wait a minute... So, who made that plan, and actually asked directly?" The two of us went to see her..."

Kagurazaka Iris picked up the coffee, took a sip, then looked at Eiri, and asked with a slightly serious expression: "You probably know that name... Akane Kurisaka, you know it, right?"

Sawamura Eiri's whole body suddenly shook and she was completely stunned. Her lips trembled slightly, her eyes showed a strong look of shock, and she stuttered and asked: "Kenisaka...Kensaka Akane?!"

Li Yan was startled by Ying Lili's reaction. He turned his head and looked at Ying Lili's face in confusion. This was the first time he had seen Ying Lili react so much to a person's name. There was some cold sweat on Yinglili's forehead, and her whole body seemed to shrink slightly.

So, who is Akane Benisaka?

However, facing the hesitant and nervous Eiri, Li Yan did not ask Kagurazaka Iris face to face for information about this person for a while, but judging from Kagurazaka Iris' name, this person seemed to be a female. …

After discussing for a period of time and without any objection, Li Yan and Ying Lili prepared to leave.

Kagurazaka Iris raised his head and looked at Eiri, and said to them: "Well, Mr. Kashiwagi, actually I have one more thing that I need you to keep for a while. Mr. Uesugi, thank you for your hard work. I will meet with Miss Benisaka tomorrow. Things should go by on time."

Li Yan was slightly startled, but the expression on Sawamura Eiri's side was a bit intriguing. She hesitated for a moment, looked at Li Yan for a while, and then sat back again.

She was restless. When Li Yan was about to go out, Ying Lili suddenly turned around and said loudly to him: "Otaku Li, don't go away. I'll be out in a while!"

Li Yan and Kagurazaka Iris were both stunned by Eiri's roar. Li Yan nodded in agreement and walked out of the door.

But for some reason, he felt a little uneasy. He always felt that the moment he closed the door, the distance between him and Yinglili seemed to be getting farther and farther...

※※※

An hour later.

Leaning against the wall, he read over and over again the anthology of essays he had bought. While Li Yan was scrambling for every minute to learn the skills of literary description, Ying Lili finally came out.

When Sawamura Eiri came out, she was a little distracted. After closing the door, she stood at the door thinking about something.

Li Yan put away the anthology and asked, "Ying Lili, what are you thinking about?"

Sawamura Eiri came back to her senses, her lips trembled slightly, as if she wanted to say something to Li Yan, but in the end nothing came out.

She shook her head and said with a smile: "It's okay, but haven't you invited me to dinner for a long time recently? I didn't even have breakfast today, so let's go quickly, McX Law's chicken drumstick set!"

Li Yan stood quietly and looked at Ying Lili silently.

In a nearby McLaren restaurant, Ying Lili occupied a good seat by the window. Li Yan waited in line for a long time and returned to Ying Lili with a plate.

Sawamura Eiri put on her gloves, unceremoniously took out the steaming grilled chicken legs, blew on them twice, took a good bite, and said: "They say eating this kind of food will be addictive, but recently I feel like I've been spoiled by this guy like you, you only treat me to McDonald's, and now I can't stand it even if I don't eat it once a week."

Outside the street was cloudy, sometimes dark, sometimes bright. The girl sitting by the window seemed to have no intention of telling him what Kagurazaka Iris discussed with her later.

Li Yan finally asked: "Eiri, what kind of person is Akane Benisaka? Why do you have such a big reaction to her?"

Eri Sawamura was still tearing open the chicken legs, with a bit of grease on the corners of her mouth. She was startled when she heard Li Yan ask this question. She knew that Li Yan would ask sooner or later, and it seemed that he really didn't know this woman's name and background.

She hesitated for a while and then said: "Kensaka Akane is the founder and the first representative of the very popular doujin club [rouge en rouge]. That guy himself is a very popular creator. When he debuted, his performance was not good. She is below you. I heard that the sales volume of the project she is responsible for will not be less than 1 million units. She is a guy with terrifying strength, vigorous and resolute methods, and will do whatever it takes to achieve commercial results."

The more Li Yan listened, the more shocked he became. Such a woman who knew business skills was actually a creator herself, so she had the creative ability to destroy the Musashida Planning Group and the Sanwa Bunko Planning Department.

Sawamura Eiri lowered her head slightly, was silent for a while, and then said: "You can see her tomorrow, and you can get to know her personally. By the way... Kasumigaoka will also go with us tomorrow, It seems that she was also called over by Akane Kurisaka."

Li Yan felt more and more that Akane Benisaka seemed to be eyeing Sanwa Bunko's vitality, and even Kasumigaoka Shiyu was called over. However, when he thought seriously, he was suddenly shocked and asked: "Wait a minute, Kasumigaoka Shiyu Doesn’t the teacher have to take exams? How can she have time to participate in such activities?”

Yinglili blinked and asked curiously: "She has already passed the important exam for Zaobao. The interviews are over, don't you know?"

Li Yan was confused by this, but he had just finished working on the last volume some time ago. Kasumigaoka Shiyu stopped contacting him after monitoring his work. It seemed that that period was during the written examination period. In the end, she went to the examination room alone. She was really an arrogant and informal woman.

If he can pass the written examination at Waseda University, it will largely indicate that Kasumigaoka Shiu's studies are progressing smoothly.

Sawamura Eiri murmured to herself and asked: "I really don't understand what that thick-waisted girl is thinking..."

Li Yan breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Yinglili, and said: "Anyway, it will be good if she can go well. After I finished writing the novel, I was indeed very tired and took a good rest. This should be because Teacher Xia Shizi was thinking about me... I almost forgot, Yinglili, how is the progress of your oil painting?"

Sawamura Eiri's body swayed slightly, but then she showed her unique bright and triumphant expression, stretched out three fingers, and said with a smile: "Enter the third round of the national competition, hehehe, I am the No. 1 in the county. The only one who broke through to participate in the third round of finals with the first score, I also got the certificate issued by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology yesterday. My competition is over, you have to work hard in the writer competition."

Li Yan was somewhat impressed by Ying Lili. Ying Lili was originally a painter studying in the two-dimensional field. It should be said that he was very surprised that Ying Lili's oil painting level could be ranked at the county level. As a result, she actually entered the national finals. , the foundation of painting is definitely not as solid as usual. He was a little envious of Yingli, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to you, I am the only one left, I will do my best..."

Sawamura Eiri showed a shy smile and seemed to enjoy Li Yan's moment of recognition. However, she still seemed to have something on her mind, tinkering with her own Coke.

She raised her head and looked at the uncertain sky, feeling a little dazed. Finally, she secretly clenched her fists and said, "Hey, Otaku Li."

Li Yan was called out by her and raised his head to look at her.

Yinglili smiled at him with a firm, yet somewhat bitter, yet happy smile, and said, "Suddenly, I feel that when I entered the illustrator industry, my first partner was you who had just debuted. I am really lucky. What's the matter... You know me, almost better than anyone else, and there are not many guys who can tolerate my temper... Idiot Li, Bastard Li... none of them are as smooth as the otaku Li, these days It was the happiest time for me when I was creating. I lost my temper at you unscrupulously and followed your footsteps with all my heart. Light novels combine painting and novels. It is great to be exposed to light novels... So, I think Only if you are my partner can I go on. I rely on you, both in creation... and in life..."

Li Yan always felt that Sawamura Eiri was a little unusual today, but he couldn't understand what exactly happened.

With the bright sky reflected in the glass, the girl finally made a decision and said: "No matter what, I will follow you, because... this is a promise, Otaku Li."

This is the most powerful courage and words Yinglili has ever summoned in her life.

After sunset, there was a night, and the new rising sun once again showed its dawn from the east.

Today is the day when the three authors of Sanwa Bunko meet with the fan club [rouge en rouge] and the person in charge of several media companies, Akane Kurisaka.

At 8:15, Li Yan was following a crowd of office workers waiting for a tram to go to other districts. However, it seemed that this tram had a breakdown today. After waiting for half an hour, he couldn't even wait for one. At that time, the entire station was jammed.

Crowded platforms appear dangerous, with maintenance staff constantly preventing crowds from getting too close to the edge of the platform. Li Yan was anxious and took out his mobile phone to check the time. The time to meet Akane Benisaka was 8:45, but now it was obviously not enough time to take the train there.

Li Yan became a little crazy. He wanted to go back and drive his Supra but couldn't get out. The waiting tram was not completely stopped. If he wanted to squeeze into the first tram, he didn't know which row he had to wait in line. He felt that he somehow chose not to drive, but to take some kind of train!

——[Ding dong! 】

——[The tram to Koto Ward is about to proceed. Passengers please line up in order. Thank you very much for your cooperation. 】

——[The tram to Koto District will be moving soon. Passengers please line up in order. Thank you very much for your cooperation...]

When Li Yan and the people who had been waiting for a long time heard this, they immediately beamed.

However, the first tram finally stopped steadily not long after. When the door was opened, there was no way to queue up. There were so many people, and suddenly a black crowd began to pour into the tram. Li Yan hardly needed himself. Go, the two fat men in front and behind him and the people around him were led towards the car door and rushed in. Li Yan, who successfully entered the car in the second round, lingered on the edge of the door. As a result, under the push of the flight attendant, Li Yan always felt like a canned carp.

"Stop pushing!!"

"Ah ah ah, I can't even breathe!!"

Li Yan's face was distorted by the briefcase, and he started to move towards Jiangdong in the painful experience of squeezing the car. However, no matter what, it seemed that he was really going to be late.

Finally, within 37 minutes, Li Yan, who was a few minutes late, had already sent text messages to Eiri and Kasumigaoka Shiu, as well as to Ms. Akane Benisaka, and all received understanding replies, although in different ways. That’s all.

Located under a luxurious high-rise building in a prosperous area of ​​Tokyo, Li Yan finally arrived at the home of Akane Akane Benisaka. He had to say that he always felt that Akane Benisaka was definitely a wealthy woman, different from China. For buildings, the best buildings are the 6th, 7th, 8th, 12th and other auspicious floors. In Japan, the higher the floor, the better. This is chosen from the aspects of air, scenery and sunshine. Hongsaka Akane's floor is really high enough, several floors higher than the floor Yukinoshita Yukino bought, which shows that she is at the forefront of wealth in this area.

After riding the golden elevator for a long time, we arrived at the door of Hongsaka's house.
