I Am a Light Novel Master in Japan Chapter 555
Li Yan looked at the figure of this petite girl with messy hair and had a somewhat complicated mood.
Angels are real.
At least, she is in this world, right beside him, right in front of him...
What happened to Gabriel and Tianjie?
…
8:26 minutes, downstairs of the business district building in Shinjuku District.
On the eight lanes coming through the tunnel, a car whizzes by from time to time. It is extremely loud among high-rise buildings. In the world of layers of steel and concrete, the sound is constantly bounced, so it is louder than other places. Hear a little more clearly.
"Welcome, Mr. Uesugi."
As soon as the door opened on Sanwa Bunko's company floor, Kagurazaka Iris, who was as energetic as ever, showed a bright smile and greeted him at the door.
"...Miss Kagurazaka, are you really fully recovered?"
When following Kagurazaka Iris to the editor's office, Li Yan turned his face sideways, looked at her with some worry, and asked.
Kagurazaka Iris shook his head, then raised his hands, clenched his fists, and said with full fighting spirit: "Don't worry, there is no problem at all. Didn't you and Mr. Kusanagi handle the discharge procedures together? In this case, you should That's right. Hehe, you can now fully devote yourself to my work."
That's right.
But Li Yan and other authors also heard that the doctor told her to rest at home for a month before going out for activities. As a result, the bandaged editor went to work normally the next day. It should be said that he is indeed the backbone of the editorial department. Simply by reminding him of the group of editors who forced him to write at Electric, he can get a glimpse of the strength of this group of powerful editors.
"By the way, where is Mr. Sawamura?"
Kagurazaka Airi remembered something and turned around to ask.
Li Yan was stunned and asked, "Didn't she say that she was going to be interviewed by an animation magazine today?"
The shrewd and capable Kagurazaka Iris should have known about this matter involving the company's contracted authors.
Kagurazaka Airis's face changed slightly, then he remembered something and hurriedly smiled and said: "Yeah... I forgot for a moment, she really can't come today."
Li Yan noticed something fishy in this, but it was Ying Lili's private matter and he couldn't interfere.
However, Li Yan always hoped that his partner Ying Lili would be the first to see the first draft and outline in his backpack.
After all, at the beginning of the creation of the novel, the novelist and the illustrator almost broke their friendship due to various mistakes and misunderstandings...
After rebirth, in the apartment building, the first person I met in my new life was the girl neighbor who had made rude remarks after just moving in.
"..."
It had to be said that Ying Lili didn't come, and he felt a little disappointed in his heart.
After passing the busy office area, as soon as Kagurazaka Iris opened the door of the office, Li Yan saw Kagurazaka Shiu sitting on the sofa waiting quietly through Kagurazaka Iris' side.
"Um?"
Kasumigaoka Shiyu, who was sitting on the black sofa with her legs crossed, showed a slightly surprised look, and then the corners of her elegant mouth raised slightly.
"Good morning, Teacher Uesugi." Kasumigaoka Shiyu said with a hint of joy in her eyes.
"Good morning, Teacher Kasumi Shiko."
Li Yan felt a little surprised, and then greeted him politely.
Kagurazaka Iris explained: "Teacher Kasumi Shiko is here today because of the fourth volume of work, but our work has almost been discussed."
"Yes, then let's leave this seat to Mr. Uesugi..."
Kasumigaoka Shiyu closed her eyes and said casually. She naturally knew that Li Yan and Kagurazaka Iris would also discuss topics involving work secrets. She put her hands on her knees and prepared to stand up and leave the editorial office of the library.
"No, Teacher Xia Shizi, it's just right for you to be here. Let's take a look at the outline of the second work I wrote. For the people in our team, these are not big secrets. If possible, we can help analyze it together. Just for a moment, okay?"
Li Yan walked into the office, lowered his head, took off his mask and hat, looked at her with a smile, and asked.
"Forehead……"
Kasumigaoka Shiyu was stunned, and suddenly felt that it was not possible to sit down, and it was a little awkward to stand up.
She blinked her eyes and looked at Kagurazaka Iris tentatively. After seeing Kagurazaka Iris nodded, she sat back on the sofa with a somewhat shy expression...
※※※
9:20 minutes.
On the way to Tokyo Station, it takes ten minutes to walk to the tram stop.
I strolled to a river. It was the cold winter of December. Most of the river water had long been frozen. The rocks on the river bed were exposed. Under the branches of cherry blossoms swaying slightly in the cold wind, young people, high school students and girls walked together. OK, people holding umbrellas each walked on the silent river bank.
"Don't worry, the content of the outline is quite interesting. I didn't expect that the teacher is very good at writing campus stories. After it is published, the results will definitely not be lower than your first work."
Facing the cold wind, Kasumigaoka Shiyu's cheeks blushed slightly. Such a girl with the temperament of a royal sister became a little more charming and cute at this moment. She was talking about her thoughts after reading as she walked.
"If both you and Miss Kagurazaka can agree, I can probably rest assured..."
Li Yan was relieved, showed a smile, and explained: "It was only when I was about to conceive the second work that I realized the pressure involved. The first work was recognized by many readers, so if I can't let them down, The risks and pressure of creating a second work can be imagined... When I wrote the outline of this book, I even thought that it would completely ruin Uesugi's name."
Kasumigaoka Shiyu smiled slightly and said: "I am the same, it seems that everyone is the same, but teacher, you seem to need some more training. Look at my situation, I was almost unfinished. , I insisted on writing the last volume to regain my popularity, and then put the second work on the market. How about it? Do you want to ask me about this in turn?"
"If you ever feel confused, I will ask you for advice on the line."
Li Yan turned his face sideways and responded.
Kasumigaoka Shiyu had always been concerned about one thing. The girl's eyes seemed to be able to speak. She secretly glanced at Li Yan's side face and asked in a low voice: "Where is she?"
"Um?"
Li Yan didn't understand it all of a sudden.
Kasumigaoka Shiu continued to explain: "She is your precious partner. Where is she? Why is the illustrator scheduled for the second work suddenly not present?"
"So you're talking about Ying Lili... Today she went for an exclusive interview with an anime magazine."
Li Yan said with a smile.
"This idiot..."
Kasumigaoka Shiyu's face suddenly turned cold and he cursed secretly.
She knew very well that Li Yan was indeed worried about his second work, but when this illustrator was competing for his work, when something happened at home, or when his work was being animated, he always relied on Li Yan. But at this critical moment, the other party was offline.
The look of Kasumigaoka Shiyu gnashing her teeth made Li Yan on the side tremble with fear. He didn't know what terrible conflict had happened between their two enemies.
