I Am a Light Novel Master in Japan Chapter 709

Only then did Li Yan hear clearly, nodded, and smiled.

"It will not let you down."

"……Um."

Sayuri Sawamura also nodded, but her phone shook twice. She looked at it, and Kimura told her that it was almost time to attend the banquet.

"..."

Sayuri Sawamura was silent for a moment, the time had come.

She finally put her phone into the bag and said with a smile: "Now the time is up. I'm going to go out to attend some social events. Thank you very much for telling me about Yinglili today."

Upon hearing this, Li Yan nodded, stood up, and was about to send Sayuri Sawamura out.

The door was always open. Sayuri Sawamura almost forgot about it, but suddenly remembered it, turned around, bowed slightly to Li Yan, and said: "Well, from now on, I will ask you to take good care of Eiri, Teacher Uesugi."

"Yes." Li Yan nodded again and responded.

Sayuri Sawamura smiled, put on her shoes at the entrance, and prepared to go out.

"Miss Sawamura!"

Suddenly, Li Yan also remembered something and called Sayuri Sawamura.

"Um?"

Sayuri Sawamura was slightly startled.

Li Yan didn't know why, but he felt a little worried about Sawamura Sayuri's vague and erratic state. He said: "It's not just Eirili's matter, you and Eirili have always taken good care of me. so……"

Sayuri Sawamura turned around slightly and looked at Li Yan, a little confused about what Li Yan was going to say.

"Even if I am a weak person, if you ask for help, Ms. Sawamura, no matter how dangerous, complicated and difficult it is, I will come to help you. I have always been really grateful to you, so if you feel that the pressure is too much It’s heavy, let’s talk to a friend.”

Li Yan said to her.

"..."

Sayuri Sawamura was stunned and looked at Li Yan.

However, there was a smile on Sayuri's lips. She turned around, stuck out her tongue, and frightened Li Yan.

"???"

Li Yan felt that Sayuri's answer was a bit unclear.

"Don't get too carried away, I'm also very capable, you don't need to worry about me so much." Sayuri Sawamura said with a smile.

"So...I also said that my own abilities are meager..."

Li Yan narrowed his eyes and whispered awkwardly. I need resources but no resources, I need money but no money...

Sayuri Sawamura walked out of the door, turned around and waved goodbye to Li Yan, then closed the door.

The black sky and the cold rain stayed beside Sayuri Sawamura. This lonely figure walked this extremely short road alone.

Her life was a failure.

It failed completely...

Unfortunately, when her heart was the hollowest, she was too careless and met a being who could make up for her shortcomings at such a time.

Walking in the darkness, facing the peaceful black rain, Sayuri Sawamura stopped and raised her head again to look at the rain scene.

Her rain will not stop.

Whether it's herself wearing a junior high school uniform, a high school uniform, or an art academy painter's uniform... history overlaps and converges on her without mercy.

For some reason, she remembered the sentence from the Chinese Tang poem "Twenty-One Poems on Tongguan Kiln Porcelain", but after she adapted it, she became even more bitter and helpless.

"Before I gave birth to you, you gave birth to me...I am already old."

"I let it go, it doesn't matter... I let it go..."

There was a bitter smile on Sayuri Sawamura's flawless face, as if she had let go of something in her heart...

On March 28, the Jiemura Prize Competition finally officially started.

Contestants mainly from Japan, but also from other parts of the world began to gather at the centralized location. Reporters from TV Tokyo also began to carry cameras and tools to interview the new year's contestants. Among the large number of East Asians, some blond hair was also seen. A contestant with blue eyes.

Known as Japan's [Booker Prize], the Sukemura Prize competition seems to be attracting more attention from Japanese society than ever before.

It seems that Jump's contribution is indispensable, causing many good people to pay attention to the fact that a light novel writer with a non-mainstream status participates in this international level event in Japan with the dignity of the light novel industry. During this period, not only anime fans and literature lovers, but also literary writers, journalists, and light novel writers all "snowballed" this topic, which eventually led to the attention of this year's Jiemura Award. reached the best in history.

Therefore, the contestants who were concentrated in one place and being watched by a group of people felt inexplicable and became nervous and uneasy.

Book fans, pseudo-book fans and busybodies followed TV Tokyo's perspective and searched for traces of Uesugi Yan among these three hundred people. However, they seemed to find nothing, but they found a few extraordinary characters.

For example, Mitsui Kaito, an outstanding young writer who was the runner-up in the last Jiemura Prize and graduated from Keio Private School; and Amakusa Shino, the president of Waseda Literary Society who has been winning numerous awards in literary magazines; her father is a tycoon in the Japanese media industry, but it is rumored that he is even more powerful than her father. Tanaka Aoko, the president of the Kyoto University Literary Society who is ten times more capable; and Amano Touko, a talented girl who has been mysterious at the University of Tokyo and was once recommended by the teachers of the University of Tokyo for admission; three doctorate degrees from Yale University in the United States, and wrote the American Anderson, the genius young man who wrote the blockbuster science fiction novel "Dr. Hobbes"...

This year’s contestants seem to have completely submerged Zeng Jiemura Shang in the long river of history.

In the team, these contestants are also looking for the target person in the team. It seems that they are not here for the Jiemura Prize, but specifically to kill a certain opponent.

However, another reason why the Jiemura Awards attracted much attention this time was that many figures from the Japanese publishing industry were present in the audience.

Media industry tycoon Mr. Keita Tanaka, whose father put aside his work to come to watch when his daughter competed; Takeshi Yoshino, vice president of the Japan Writers Association; Hiroshi Ishida, director of the Koto District Police Department; Akane Kurisaka, a planner who has a huge influence on the animation industry; and A group of young authors of well-known literary works in Japan, as well as authors of animated light novels, gathered in the auditorium to wait. Even the bosses and editors of well-known library companies such as Sanwa Bunko and Fantasia came over.

I have to say that this game attracted more attention than the Tokyo VS Osaka football match.

——[Contestants, please get on the bus in order according to the parking spaces previously arranged, and now start heading to the residence of the contestants. repeat! 】

The staff called out the announcement and began to guide the 300 people one by one into the large bus.

The crowd of contestants began to get on the bus one after another. Li Yan was placed in car No. 13. When he got on the bus, he looked around, looking for senior Amano Touko and Hagimura Suzu.

In the sea of ​​people, Li Yan, who got into the car, did not see his two companions, but inadvertently saw a familiar figure on the side of the audience.

In the crowd of spectators, Natsume Takashi, who had already forgotten about him, hugged Mr. Cat and was pushed to the front under the cover of the group of Chiba friends. Natsume Takashi held the sign of "Come on, Uesugi Flame" and kept shaking it, not far away. There were also some monsters cheering. It seemed that although the monsters and juniors in Hitoyoshi City had forgotten about him, they still became fans of his books and came here to cheer him up.

Among the crowd, those who have not yet forgotten are the group of brats from Asahigaoka Branch who were on spring break. They seemed to have been brought here by Fujinomiya Kumi and Miyauchi Ichiho. Renka, the Koshitani sisters and other brats were shouting and could not hear anything. , but they came here undoubtedly to support Li Yan's game.

The vehicle started to slowly start and drove onto the road in front of the crowd of people cheering for their favorite authors, heading towards the competition venue and accommodation.

As a result, when Li Yan passed by, he immediately followed Yukinoshita Yukino, Harano, Hikigaya Hachiman, Yuigahama Yui, and even Tsurumi Rumi, who was waiting at the edge, and the few brats. They watched After reaching him by the window, he immediately waved his hands and shouted.
