I Am a Master of Light Novels in Japan

Shiina held the umbrella and said to the driver, "I have always cherished everything, so you go back...no problem."

"..." The driver still hesitated, looking at her worriedly.

Shiina was standing on the side of the road and inadvertently noticed that someone was coming towards her. She raised her head and looked at it. There was some wet blond hair floating slightly, and she was silent for a moment. Then she said, "They picked me up. So, it doesn’t matter to me, grandpa, you can leave."

The old man in the taxi looked at Zhen Bai’s urgent and worried look, and he hesitated for a while. He looked at the distance and it seemed that a group of people had indeed come by. He also felt relieved a little, nodded, and said: "That Well, you have to take care of yourself."

The old man turned the taxi around and returned very slowly.

With the drizzle, in this quiet and dark woods, the distant street lights illuminate the vast woods and the girl's figure, leaving Shiina Maki who is alone holding an umbrella.

In the darkness, a pistol silently aimed at Shiina Mashiro.

Shiina Mashiro gradually turned his head and looked at the group of people with calm and fearless eyes.

[Jester Thieves Group] This is the old nest in Japan.

On the way to a ruined house by this group of [Jester Thieves Group] with that item, Shiina Masashi did not show the slightest panic.

"I came here to protect Holmes..."

"and so……"

"I will not be afraid."

Shiina Mashiro moved forward step by step, secretly buckling a ring in the fingers of his arms around the object, thinking.

She is not without any preparations. In addition to her oil paintings, this bag also contains the spontaneous combustion device she learned from the detective books. As long as she pulls it, the entire oil painting will burn.

[Jester Thieves Group] It will never hurt him. After all, studying the feelings and bonds between Aoyama Qikai and Rita and her so seriously, so as to attack them without killing people, not just to defeat her. From the very beginning, the purpose of my mind to retaliate against her was to make her obedient to draw famous paintings for them...

Not far away, there is a house on a ramp by the river, and there is the only place with lights.

Finally, Shiina Mashiro was surrounded by a group of people, handed over the phone, and started walking to the door of that house alone.

The wooden door at the entrance was opened, making a babble.

In front of the door, a middle-aged British man in a windbreaker, with sharp eyes like eagle eyes, greeted her with a shrewd look.

"Hmph, welcome, our little girl detective from the British Empire."

He sneered a few times sullenly, clapped his hands, and said to Zhen Bai.

"..." Shiina Masashi looked at this person quietly, feeling the dangerous aura emanating from him.

This semi-abandoned house is somewhat warm. Dust settles in every corner of the house. The generator rumbling in the house restores precious light to the house.

"I'm here to take him back." Shiina Masashi said, looking at each other calmly.

The British man with a fierce look patted himself on the shabby sofa, sat on it, smiled and said: "Of course, Miss Shiina, we also keep this promise sincerely, so let me introduce myself first. My name is Lucas, and I believe that the British police already have my information. I am a criminal who follows the will of Captain Jester, planning various cases of theft of famous paintings, jewellery, jewellery, ceramics, and gold in Europe, hoarding one While piling up treasure-like wealth, I am also waiting for a smart kid like you to challenge me."

He shrugged, smiled bitterly, and said: "Unfortunately, I spent months researching and designing the theft case of the Einzworth family, but in the end I was so naive as you. The bird cracked it... The Jester group lost a lot of members for this. This situation is no longer the culprit that I can easily forgive and insult us. Of course, even if it is a minor, we do not refer to any country. To study how to treat you with the protection law, but this does not mean that you have no chance to apologize, kid, you and your grandfather are both talented painters, and your painting... can be used as a bargaining chip for apology."

"...Draw, bring it."

Shiina Mashiro said.

The man named Lucas stared at the painting with dim eyes.

"Give it to me."

"..." Shiina's pure white eyebrows frowned, and he showed Lucas the spontaneous combustion device clasp he designed for the scroll without changing his face.

"With a slight pull, the sparks from the flint can burn everything in two seconds." Shiina Masashi continued to say in a steady tone.

"Uh, you kid..." Lukaston didn't dare to act rashly when he gritted his teeth and stared at Zhen Bai, cursing.

Broken windows, rustling rain, and gusts of cold wind blowing on this weak young girl.

"Where is he?" Shiina asked, his eyes cold a little.

Lucas was taken aback and then laughed again. He opened his hands and said, "Miss Shiina, your paintings are worth millions of dollars in the market. Your grandfather is a famous painter destined to be famous forever. We are very early I believed that you would grow up to be a genius painter like your grandfather. We originally planned to tie up your closest friend, the little girl from the Einzworth family. What went against our wish was that we were paying a few partners severely disabled. After an unfortunate death, we can only use this Chinese as a bargaining chip to coerce you into repaying the blood debt owed to us."

"..." Shiina was really silent.

"We need you to paint ten oil paintings as a price and hand it over to us before we release the Chinese. Otherwise, you two, including the Einzworth family, don't plan to survive."

A flash of killing intent flashed through Lucas's eyes, and Shiina was threatened.

Shiina Mashiro had no reaction at all, no fear, no bravery. It seemed that Lucas didn't matter what she said. She was silent for a while and said, "I want to see him."

...

Step by step, he followed the leader of the Jester thieves who had carried an oil lamp to the second floor.

Stepping away gently, Shiina really endured fear, forcing herself to be perfectly vigilant about everything, and take every step forward intact.

Such a life-and-death situation, even if she knew Sorata and Mitaka seniors, she would definitely be scared, not to mention she was a girl.

She raised her head, hesitated with every step, but still maintained this rhythm and walked up.

This piece of spiral staircase, like the whirling dance of the black rain, is empty, cold, dark...every step is full of thrills.

As the boss manipulating everything behind the scenes came to the second floor, the room where the dark second-floor corridor extended, the lights were turned on, and Lucas carried the oil lamp and brought Shiina to Shiina. In the room at the end.

In the room, it was a little dim, but it was completely clear.

"?!"

Shiina's eyes widened when she had just entered the room, staring at the person blankly.

That one, the figure that has disappeared.

Li Yan, whose entire body was covered with blood, and his limbs tied to the cross by iron chains, was stimulated by the dazzling light. He raised his head weakly and looked over.

"...Really white?" Li Yan, who was embarrassed, showed shocked expression and asked when he looked at Zhenbai.

"Holmes..."

Shiina's wet hair, wet face, and eyes were all set on Li Yan's face. The heart that had been anxious from morning until now was suddenly stretched out, and he called out with a trembling voice.

I don't know why such a change of heart, a moist tears flowed from her eyes.

"It's really white, why are you here..." Li Yan looked at her and seemed to have suffered a lot of injuries. The blood fell on the ground drop by drop, with an expression of pain, and asked weakly.

"I'm here to pick you up, Holmes." Shiina's white eyes rolled with tears, and her voice was soft, firm and quiet.

"No, you can't do it, they won't let me go." Li Yan shook his head, panting, and said to Zhen Bai desperately.
