I Am a Master of Light Novels in Japan

"What kind of monster you are, you wandered around Xia Mei during the day, and now you ran to his house again, but sneakily, is there any purpose?" Li Yan held the phone and flashed her torch function. , Asked sharply.

"...Well, what are you talking about, who are you..."

The monster became a little unconvinced, took off his sleeves, and shouted to meet Li Yan.

As a result, one person, one demon, and then really face to face.

In front of Li Yan's eyes was a girl with a very beautiful face wearing a purple robe, with beautiful long golden hair, but unlike humans, her lower body was a fish body, which looked like a mermaid.

"Huh?!" Li Yan suddenly widened his eyes, watching this legendary beautiful race, unexpectedly appear in Xia Mei's house.

But the other party's reaction became more intense than Li Yan's. When she saw that it was Li Yan, her face became pale, and she immediately stepped back a few steps, hiding behind the tree and looking at him.

"Aren't you the one... Bai, a monster that can beat a high-level monster half-handed with one punch during the day?!" The mermaid girl was scared out of tears and asked in horror.

"...Uh, what, that monster...has been hemiplegic?" Li Yan asked with a complicated expression on his face. He thought to himself that he couldn't help himself with a punch, causing some troublesome incidents.

"I won’t mention these for now. It’s too early to assert that the cause of the hemiplegia is too early. Who are you and what is your name, are you going to come and attack the monsters of Natsumi? Don’t think that you are a female monster. I won’t take it lightly. It's not as easy to talk as Natsume."

Li Yan coughed a few times, and when he shirked responsibility, he changed the subject and asked this mermaid girl.

"It's just a mere human being asked me to declare my family. Besides, how could a man like you tell you the name of a beautiful and rare mermaid like me..."

This mermaid was not convinced, hiding behind the tree and protesting to Li Yan, but looking at Li Yan's silent and unresponsive expression, he became more frightened, speaking more and more quietly.

"Sasazhou...this is my name, don't use my name indiscriminately!" The mermaid girl finally softened and said.

"Um... I obviously haven't said anything yet." Li Yan didn't respond, and the other party gave in, feeling a little dazed for a while.

However, through these conversations, Li Yan somewhat ruled out the harm of this monster, because girls with the Tsundere attribute, whether they are humans or monsters, are seldom bad guys...Although this theory has not gone through much. It has been rigorously demonstrated.

"My name is Li Yan, and I know by my name. I'm from a foreign country, and I'm a senior of Natsume, so I'm still slightly qualified to ask you, Sasara, answer me, are you here to find Natsume? What is it for?" Li Yan asked with serious eyes, looking at her.

"...This, this...actually nothing..." The girl named Sasakaya hesitated again and again, lowered her head, and whispered.

Suddenly, Natsumi's voice came from inside the house: "Senior, are you in the courtyard?"

"?"

Li Yan and the mermaid girl Zazhou froze for a moment. Suddenly, Zazhou immediately fled outside the wall. Before leaving, he hurriedly reminded Li Yan in a low voice: "Humans, don't tell me what happened."

In an instant, Sasha boat disappeared without a trace.

However, with a hurried leap, when Takashi Natsume walked over, he still saw the fish tail, and he was taken aback.

"...Natsume, why are you still asleep?" Li Yan asked with a bitter smile.

"Well, I suddenly heard someone talking in the courtyard, so come and have a look."

"It's okay, I'm just calling and chatting with a friend, don't care."

Li Yan was reluctantly prevaricating Natsume Takashi, but his gaze was somewhat concerned, still looking at the figure that disappeared out of the window.

In the early morning, students are walking on the road to school.

Different from the coastal promenade by the sea, and the busy school scene of the metro and tram in the city, the rhythm of going to school in the country is quite leisurely. Walking among the misty rice fields and mountain forests is like walking in a landscape painting. It can be regarded as the unique privilege of going to school in the country.

"...Last night, will it be the monster who met with senior?" Natsume Takashi thought curiously as he walked on the way to school.

Sasazhou, a mermaid monster whose name is listed in the "Book of Friends", is basically harmless compared to so many monsters that she has seen before, and it is also because of the fact that "eating mermaid flesh and blood can live forever". The remnants of the mermaid clan who were slaughtered by humans according to rumors, when they hated humans, they also deeply formed a deep friendship with a former human girl who is now a grandmother in a guesthouse. After the suspicion was released, this mermaid girl seldom appeared in front of Xia Mei. It was not clear why, but suddenly came to his house at this time.

"Natsume, wait for me!"

Suddenly, a boy's voice came from behind him, and when Takashi Natsume turned his head to look around, he found that it was Nishimura hurriedly running over.

"Ah, good morning, Nishimura."

Natsume Takashi smiled and said hello.

"Well, good morning." Nishimura said with a grin.

"By the way, didn't Senior Li come here with you? Didn't you say you want to take a look at our school?" Nishimura asked curiously.

"Yes, but I saw it yesterday, and I went back to Dr. Ogura very early to report and discuss his work. I heard that he was absent from school for one day and will be doubled for tutoring today. Today, he probably has no time to come here again. Come on." Natsume Takashi thought of Li Yan's bitter expression and said with a chuckle.

"Really, I always think that the top students of Dongda University are really not good enough. Sure enough, I still don't have the talent to be a college student." Nishimura smiled and teased.

As he walked, Nishimura suddenly remembered something. He looked at Natsume, and he seemed to hesitate to tell him whether he was going to tell him. These inadvertent movements were noticed by Takashi Natsume.

"What's the matter, Nishimura?" Natsume Takashi asked.

"in fact……"

Nishimura was silent for a while, but finally he looked a little heavy, and said, "Natsume, do you remember that the three of us went on a short trip last time, and stayed in a guest house with waterholes and swamps everywhere on the other side?"

"...Ah, of course I still remember, so..." Natsume Takashi nodded and asked.

"The old lady in the guest house has passed away. Just three days ago, she died at home and passed away quietly. I want to go over there with you and Beiben to pay respect to the old lady."

Nishimura lowered his head slightly and said to Takashi Natsume.

There was a ding sound from Takashi Natsume's consciousness.

Miss Mermaid’s friend, that old grandma, passed away...

Both humans and monsters are creatures who are afraid of being alone, afraid of taking the first step to break the current situation...

However, the mermaid girl who avoided human slaughter was still lonely, and got acquainted with the human girl who often came to play with her. She was nostalgic, hated and felt guilty, and finally returned to her good friend. Up...

Sasara, once again turned into a lonely monster...

Chapter 160: The Lonely Miss Mermaid

Early in the morning, the city center of Kumamoto Prefecture.

"Then I will leave, teacher."

Li Yan handed over the materials compiled last night and came out of the professor's temporary office. The lectures related to the area he assisted have basically been handled, especially the remote area of ​​Natsume Takashi and others. For this reason, he specially wrote his own thoughts and suggestions in the report, whether it is an excellent student or a poor student. In fact, they are equal before the fate of entering a higher school, and they should not abandon students of the same age group because of the relationship between the region and the grade.

The more students who have come from poverty and hardship, the more they understand this. He has tried hard to fight for the students with insufficient conditions, and how the professor should arrange it can only wait and see the changes.

"Well, for now, let's go back to my room and do my own thing." Li Yan looked at the wooden door of the office. After thinking about it, he had to let go of his anxiety and move forward.

Early in the morning, Professor Ogura was called into a temporary classroom from a distance of tens of kilometers, so he did not have time to eat breakfast. It was hard to say. He was hungry and returned to the room with a bag of breakfast boxes. After putting down the computer and books from the backpack, I sat at the desk and opened the lunch box while looking at the computer, eating food that had been lacking in calories for a long time.

There was only one email today, but, rather, it was the first email from a certain senior. Li Yan was a little surprised and clicked to check it.
