I'm a Light Novel Master in Japan

"Today's sales, although with the help of otaku Li and my mother, have not yet achieved the set goal."

Although statistics and comparisons are made on the sales results of all the artists every day, it is obvious that the East 6th district where she is located is undoubtedly the worst place. When I first looked at the venue, I knew that it was the furthest away from the gate of the venue. , is far away from the video game area and the cosplay area. Customers who can come here to buy books either have not found a suitable book and have patiently searched for them all the way, or they are her old fans who come to buy directly because of her reputation, and the sales volume Of course it's not ideal.

"Too bad, it really is the first venue, and some unpleasant things happened." Yingri thought quietly in her heart.

Obviously, the organizers of Miyazaki prefecture still did some tricks. Although they invited many well-known artists to participate in the largest doujinshi fair in the country, they still did some tricks in terms of their location, so that the southern part of Japan could be seen. The outstanding painters of Miyazaki are arranged in better positions, and the painters like her are arbitrarily arranged in ordinary or poor positions to support the fame and income of Miyazaki prefecture painters.

Of course, these are not public. Even if an artist is dissatisfied and complains, it will be rejected due to random drawing of lots and insufficient evidence.

This is the so-called local economic effect.

-【ding dong】.

Suddenly, the sound of the line software came from Yingri's pocket. She took out her mobile phone curiously and saw that it was a text message from her nemesis Kasumigaoka.

If it weren't for the fact that everyone worked at Sanhe Bunko, it is estimated that she would never have joined the line group with this woman with big hips and big breasts in her life.

"Why is this woman texting me all of a sudden?" Ying Riri was a little upset and turned on her phone while anticipating.

——【I saw you at C89 today, you look very hard, but it seems that the organizers of Miyazaki prefecture have done some tricks to make your sales not ideal. It’s hard for me to help you as a customer, please come back When I was in school, help me bring me the second volume of the BL book, thank you. 】

"What's the matter, is this woman coming to Miyazaki too... Well, wait a minute, why did she know that I bought two volumes, and she wanted the second volume instead of the first one?"

Ying Riri looked at this text message with a complicated face, thinking curiously.

At the venue where the crowd gradually dispersed, she saw Li Yan who had helped her for a day in the crowd, and she couldn't help standing up and walked over empty-handed.

I don't know if it's because of luck or not, her mother, Sayuri, has really never met with Li Yan once. At the end of the meeting, Sayuri told her in advance that she would go back to the hotel to pack up the luggage that she didn't pack during the day. Now , Li Yan was the only person left in the dissipated venue.

"Ying Lili, are you going back like this?" Li Yan asked.

"Yeah, all the books are kept here. I have already paid the rent for three days, so there will be no problem." Yingli said listlessly.

Li Yan looked at Ying Lili and always felt that she was a little depressed.

"You've worked hard today, otaku Li." Sawamura Yingri turned her head to look at him, and said blankly, "You don't want to go anywhere else today, I'll take you to the hotel to open a room, I'll pay for it, I'll be you labor costs.”

All of a sudden, the crowd who heard their conversation almost exploded, and they talked in a low voice. It was the first time someone had seen a woman take a man to open a house, and she had to pay for it.

"...Can you speak more clearly in the future?"

Li Yan looked at Ying Lili with a cold sweat on her head. It was only now that she understood that Ying Lili's explosive words were sometimes hard to prevent.

……

The hotel where Ying Lili lives is a five-star hotel located in the urban area of ​​Miyazaki Prefecture. The price of a room for one night is shocking to Li Yan, and it can almost offset half of the apartment he rented in Tokyo. month's rent.

"Well, do you want to drink together?"

When Ying Lili got the key, she didn't give it to Li Yan, and asked suddenly.

"...What troubles do you have?" Li Yan asked in a cold sweat.

Ying Lili looked a little helpless and hesitant, and finally, she looked at Li Yan and whispered, "Hey, otaku Li, I... After I decided to participate in this C89 exhibition, I quit the fandom world, and I don't plan to do it again in the future. Become a painter of the Eighteen Bans."

Chapter 67 Goodbye, partner

At night approaching twelve o'clock, in the sparsely populated hotel garden, the quiet night with wisps of silver moonlight gave this world a sense of tranquility. The trees swayed slightly in the night wind, making a rustling sound.

In the garden, on a clean three-person wooden chair, there is a piece of fragrant grass at the foot, surrounded by slightly damp flowers and leaves.A large bag of snacks, juices and beer was placed in the middle of the chair.Ying Lili opened a can of beer, and her snow-white cheeks flushed slightly when she took a few sips of beer. She was not good at drinking and finally coughed because of the bitter taste, and wiped her mouth with her hand. He frowned and said, "Sure enough, I still don't understand what's so good about this thing. There are so many people drinking beer to relieve their boredom. It's so bitter..."

"...That's why I advised you not to let your assistant buy it. I never thought that they bought the wine you could drink for you. To a certain extent, they are too arrogant to you."

Li Yan narrowed his eyes and looked at her. He opened a can of beer himself, took a sip, and found that the beer this time was delicious, at least it was frozen.

"Huh, then, don't you have any advice for me to quit the fanart industry?"

Ying Riri sighed softly, raised her head to look at the bright night sky tonight, and asked in a casual tone.

"I don't have any advice. After all, if you think this way, you must have a deep understanding of the truth. If the career of the eighteen banned painters is not suitable for you, it is better to change careers as soon as possible. Achieving a career is not just about Simply relying on which is more popular, or where it is easier to make money to judge such a simple thing, I personally think the most important thing is interest, and only if you are interested can you stick to it and truly give full play to your talents.”

Li Yan thought about it for a while, and then gave Yingli Li his suggestion.

"...Well, as expected, you're right. It seems that I've found the right person. My talent lies in painting, and in other respects, I don't have any conspicuous talents. So, I'm very determined to walk my own way. The road of being a painter, hee hee, there is no way, I will probably only be able to make a living by painting in the future.”

Eiri said with a bright smile.

This smile may really be described as an alluring country.

Immediately, she gradually lost her smile, looked up at the sky again, and said, "However, I also suddenly felt that I encountered a bottleneck in the work of the Eighteen Bans, and it became more and more obvious, especially It was this time at the C89 exhibition...the two works that I came up with were not the two works that I most recognized. After all, I am not an erogeist who can imagine the content of the Eighteen Bans every day to attract readers' desires... Now I just get along with humiliation The story will give me a headache, so sooner or later my life will be tired..."

"...Wait a minute, what theme?!"

Li Yan was stunned for a moment, with a blank expression on his face, thinking to himself in surprise.

Does it mean that the lot of things he sold during the day are all insulting cartoons?

In this peaceful forest where the breeze was blowing slightly, Li Yan turned his face to the side to look at Ying Lili who just showed that beautiful smile, but found that the eyes of this young girl who came from a wealthy family and had excellent looks seemed to Being immersed in thinking about the future really made him a little surprised. These things were not originally for her to think about with such conditions. It is really not easy to maintain such a sense of crisis.

Ying Lili's talent is not limited to the aspect of painting talent.

Suddenly, Ying Lili thought quietly, and finally, with a little hesitation, her fair and smooth cheeks turned a little red, she glanced at other places with a stern face, and asked: "That, otaku Li, ask you a question. thing..."

"Huh? What's the matter?" Li Yan asked curiously.

"That... don't you think the female cartoonist who draws the [-]-ban doujinshi all day long is disgusting or something?"

When Ying Lili asked, her voice became smaller and smaller, and she couldn't continue to ask several times, but in the end she still asked the question she had always cared about.
