I Am a Light Novel Master in Japan Chapter 924

"Holmes?"

Mashiro noticed Li Yan's strange reaction and raised his head with a confused expression.

Li Yan sighed, looked at her again, and said, "I heard it all... Don't worry, I will take good care of Wiggins in a day."

"Um."

In the corridor under the night, Shiina Mashiro squatted on the ground, raised her head and looked at him, showing a smile.

This scene, when it comes into view, looks so youthful and picturesque.

Li Yan couldn't help but feel a little envious. If anyone became this girl's boyfriend, he would be very happy.

After he brought the kitten and the belongings into the house, he turned back to look at Mashiro who was waiting, and asked, "By the way, I made beef rice tonight, do you want to come in and eat it together?"

Shiina Mashiro shook her head and said, "I'm waiting for Nanami and Rita."

"That's it..."

Li Yan had no choice but to see that the three of them were really close friends.

"Holmes, how did you know about my interview?"

Shiina Mashiro tilted her head slightly and asked with a confused expression.

Li Yan smiled and said, "I asked Rita about you a few days ago, and I learned about it from Rita."

"..." Mashiro was silent for a while, and then suddenly said: "Holmes, let me ask you something."

"What's up?"

“What should I do when I’m being interviewed?”

Shiina Mashiro asked with a somewhat puzzled look.

This question immediately cheered up Li Yan. Mashiro really asked the right person this time. As a senior who once suffered huge losses from a certain TV station and Jump Publishing House, he has experienced many vicissitudes of life and has also summed up how to deal with media people.

Li Yan recalled the painful experience and felt a little sad that he couldn't bear to look back. He nodded energetically and said, "This time it's really white. You consulted the right person."

It was unclear whether Shiina Mashiro understood or not, so she nodded.

"First point, never let the host lead you. Whatever he asks you, you have to guide him towards a situation that is conducive to your position." Li Yan said with a mature look.

"Um."

Shiina Mashiro nodded.

"The second important point is not to answer questions about your work honestly, but try to speak from an angle that readers like." Li Yan continued.

"Yeah." Mashiro nodded again.

"The third important point is, don't reveal your true identity. This is the most important. The communication between the author and the readers is enough. Stop hoping that we, the authors, can get along with the readers...otherwise..."

Li Yan looked a little pale, narrowed his eyes, and whispered: "You will really get along with the readers."

"I understand, Holmes."

Shiina Mashiro wrote them down one by one and said to Li Yan.

Then, Mashiro's expression became more relaxed. She nodded to Li Yan and said, "Then, I'll go back first."

"..."

Li Yan was silent for a while. He couldn't remember whether he had said such words to Mashiro before, but this time, he stopped Mashiro.

"Mashiro, wait a minute."

"?"

Mashiro walked a few steps, stopped, and turned back to look at Li Yan curiously.

"Um..." Li Yan looked sleepy and was silent for a while, then said: "Zhenbai, you can call me Li Yan like everyone else in the future. Now you are already an excellent cartoonist, so, I think you can leave through this substitution method.”

He always wondered whether it was because he failed to stop Mashiro that the substitution game continued for so many years.

"..."

Shiina Mashiro stood in the long and narrow corridor, the night wind blowing her hair. She seemed to be a little disappointed. She looked at Li Yan and asked, "Can't I call you Holmes?"

"That's not the case..."

Li Yan was stunned. In front of him, the blond girl illuminated by the street lamp looked like a girl he met by chance on the street. She had a natural aura of trust and affinity. He understood that he might have guessed the reason wrong and asked: " If you want, you can call me that at any time. However, I always feel that I am not qualified for the name you have given me, Mashiro. Can I really be called Holmes?"

"Yes." Shiina Mashiro responded. In the street, a car whirred past, and there was a flash of light. Mashiro, in fluttering clothes, looked at him and said, "Because Holmes is Holmes."

This sentence never explained the answer Li Yan wanted to understand. But Li Yan could see that this was what Mashiro really thought of him in his heart.

The next day.

Mashiro Shiina was taken by her editor to the corridor of the dedicated live broadcast room of Station N on the first floor of the commercial building to wait in preparation for the next live broadcast at nine o'clock.

"The host will be here shortly. Please think carefully about how you will answer the host's questions during this period."

This female editor was specially commissioned by Kagurazaka Iris and has been responsible for Shiina Mashiro's comics. She looks a bit like a certain arrogant eroge artist, but her twin ponytails are much shorter than that girl's, more like standing up. The girl's hair style, Ms. Insa, the manuscript rusher known as "Little Gundam", warned Mashiro.

"Um."

Mashiro nodded.

"Yeah, that's right." Miss Yinsha also nodded, but she was still a little confused. She looked at where she was sitting, wearing a very weird eye mask decoration. At this moment, Mashiro could only look at it from something similar to the sun. She looked outside through the reflective glass like glasses, but her eyebrows could not be seen clearly from the outside. She was as mysterious and beautiful as a nun covering her eyes. She asked in confusion: "So, do you really have to wear this all the time?" Is the thing accessible?”

"yes."

Shiina Mashiro looked at Miss Ensha and said, "The third point is that it cannot be known by readers."

This situation is not a strange thing. Some authors do not like to publish it to the public, which is also a very common practice in Japan.

"It looks like a blindfold. Can you really see the road?" the editor lady thought curiously.

Although Miss Ensha was a little curious about who taught her this, she didn't intend to interfere with Mashiro's freedom. After pondering for a while, she sat on the other side and went online to check out the situation at Station N.

on the other hand.

In Room 505 of Yiyuan Apartment, Li Yan was still playing games. When he saw that the time was almost up, he consciously saved the file and turned off the console game. He put down the kitten that had become very well-behaved after playing for only a few hours. Turn on the computer and take a look at the live broadcast area of ​​the two-dimensional theme website.
