I'm a Light Novel Master in Japan

"Hey, Uesugi, what are you doing, why can't you go in when the door is open?" Kagurazaka Iris stopped Li Yan's subconscious movements in time, and asked in a low voice.

"Eh, wait, what do you mean?"

Li Yan was startled, looked at Kagurazaka calamus, and finally got a reply from their expressions, there is no mistake, the legendary painter who can buy his whole body with a single painting is actually in front of him. That half-race girl of European blood.

Sure enough, the world mixed with novels is really different from his previous world.A group of teenage high school students, middle school students who are best-selling authors of light novels, forget it.A group of beautiful girls of mixed blood from England and Japan (Hagimura Suzu's mother is Italian), so that's fine, but even such an exaggerated painter is a beautiful girl who can't be seen, which made Li Yan think distressedly, Japan Are all high school students monsters?

Li Yan closed the door well, took a deep breath, and in the bright conference room, alone, his clothes were rattling in the cold wind, looking at each other.

"Well, could it be that you are Mr. Uesugi?" The unknown girl thought for a while and asked with a flat face.

"...Uh, yes, I'm Uesugi Yan, the author of "Super Power Academy War", nice to meet you."

For a while, perhaps because of the huge level gap, Li Yan was still calm, but when he spoke, he was still a little nervous. After all, the girl at the moment was a real person, and she was a person with such unparalleled talent and talent.

【Beep! 】

Suddenly, Li Yan's editing system was also activated inadvertently. The girl in front of him was like a guess, and she was also a character from an illusory work.

"Hello, my name is Shiina Mashiro... I have read your book and like it very much."

The girl named Shiina Mashiro said, she came over and came to Li Yan one meter away, looked at Li Yan quietly, and asked, "Why do you have to wear a mask and hat, sir?"

"...This, because I don't wear it, readers will know what my face looks like. It's definitely dangerous to walk on the street next time... No no, it's windy outside, and I'm a little allergic to pollen."

Li Yan didn't realize anything at first, and explained it naturally and directly, but suddenly felt that the purpose of saying this was a bit strange, and immediately changed his mouth to find some excuses.

He took off his mask, took off his hat, looked at Shiina Mashiro, and continued, "I forgot to take it off. I have to put it on when I go out."

"..."

Shiina Mashiro doesn't quite understand whether the front is true or the back is true, but the author who wrote the book so interesting, she was praised for her good painting in the art exhibition, so she has always been respected, so, It should be right later.

"Well, Uesugi-san, can I be your illustrator?"

Suddenly, this blond girl from England was habitually covering her chest with her hands and making a request. Those bright and dull eyes looked at Li Yan, with some anticipatory mood swings, and asked. road.

"Forehead?"

Li Yan was stunned for a moment, and then fell silent. In the end, Li Yan looked at Shiina Shinshiro's expression. It seemed that her expression was very serious. Flying over alone, just to see him once.

"This is my resume. Please take a look at it. I have been learning to draw since I was a child, and I have recently started to learn Japanese manga. I have always hoped to be able to draw interesting stories one day... I also hope to design illustrations for interesting stories."

Shiina said, and took out a neat and clean bilingual resume in Japanese and English from his briefcase. Almost even the style had an indescribable English style. Li Yan was as cautious as holding a work of art. Then he took the other party's resume and read it carefully.

However, Li Yan looked at it, what was the booth number of the Paris Art Exhibition in a certain year, the booth number of the Florence Art Exhibition in a certain year, and the exhibition number of the Queen's Birthday Celebration Exhibition in London in a certain year... This made Li Yan His face is getting worse and worse. Maybe the patterns on the resumes in his hand are also designed by her, and the value is also very valuable.

However, all of a sudden, Li Yan also realized something was wrong. When he was looking through the albums about Zhenbai, it seemed that all the artworks were not Japanese illustrations, but European oil paintings of various styles, and some of them were You can see that it is a very deep and exquisite oil painting.

Comics and oil paintings, although both are painting types, the relationship and nature of the two are completely different.

"Miss Shiina, I'm sorry... your works are all Western European oil paintings, aren't you, why did you suddenly become interested in illustration work?" Li Yan looked at his resume carefully and asked in confusion.

Shiina Mashiro nodded and said, "Because I think Japanese manga will be more interesting."

After that, Li Yan invited Shiina Mashiro to sit down and have a good talk. In the quiet conference room, Shiina Mashiro didn't seem to have any disguise about his original intention of learning Japanese manga.She was born in a British artistic family and has been learning painting from her grandfather since she was a child. For some unknown reason, she began to send her works to national-level art exhibitions in various countries for exhibition, but all the turning points happened in one By chance it started to change.

——【What book are you reading, don’t you like my paintings? 】

——【I read a Japanese comic book, sis. 】

"So, I came to Japan, hoping to learn how to draw manga." Shiina Mashiro expressed his intentions expressionlessly, looking at Li Yan.

I don't know why, but Li Yan had a very complicated feeling in his heart.

Japan's two-dimensional cultural value is naturally understandable. The easy-to-understand and exquisite style of painting, rich and interesting story carriers, have also deeply influenced the new generation of a world in modern times, and have a very high market value.However, in any case, the positioning and artistry of the two are different. In the final analysis, comics are the carrier of stories, while oil paintings are the carrier of ideological conception. Comics are always new products. Whether they can be circulated for hundreds of years will affect human aesthetics. Not only that, but oil painting has already done this.

It would be a pity for this genius to give up continuing to study oil painting and start drawing comics.

However, just as Li Yan was about to open his mouth and continue to ask Shiina Mashiro's intentions, suddenly, he heard a cooing voice.

Shiina Mashiro's expression didn't change, she sat gracefully and calmly opposite Li Yan, but it was obvious that her stomach was making a rattling noise with hunger, and she didn't mean to be shy, which made Li Yan deeply understand that she was a natural person. Extreme genius.

"Miss Shiina, are you hungry?" Li Yan hesitated for a while, then asked cautiously.

"Well, I'm hungry."

Shiina Mashiro nodded and said honestly.

"It's already noon at this time. Maybe the people in the company don't know that you haven't eaten it, and I haven't eaten it either. I'll ask the editor to order a takeaway. What would you like to eat?"

Li Yan took out the phone and asked.

"McDonald's." Shiina Mashiro thought for a while and said something.

Li Yan was stunned for a moment. He originally thought that such an aristocratic young lady would like some steak, caviar, or pasta. The worst thing would be pizza. In the end, he liked McDonald's.

After notifying Kagurazaka Ayame outside, it was only five minutes before the conversation continued. The breathless Kagurazaka Ayame delivered two packs of McDonald's set meals.

"Miss Shiina, please have a meal."

After Li Yan saw Kagurazaka Ayame's attitude, he carefully presented Shiina Mashiro, who was sitting in the seat, with a cola and a hamburger with a straw, and said politely like a deacon.

Shiina Mashiro nodded and started eating after taking it. It seemed that he had not eaten breakfast or lunch in order to rush here.

Discussions about the work of illustrators were temporarily interrupted.Li Yan also took the opportunity to think carefully about his choice during lunch.After all, it is a reasonable and understandable request for the other party to apply for the illustration work of the next new book. After all, all light novel illustration contracts are only limited to the scope of one work.However, now, from any angle, Yingli is his best illustrator. The great success of "Super Power Academy War" is also inseparable from her, a partner who has been silently going all out to design illustrations for his works. .The tacit understanding and emotion between him and Ying Lili cannot be replaced at will by a world-class artist who just changes careers.

However, if he does not agree with Shiina Mashiro's application, then the result can be imagined. This will be a huge loss for the Sanwa library, and he will also feel sorry for all the colleagues of the Sanwa library, so this choice So arduous, it is almost impossible to simply analyze this issue of collaboration from the perspective of his own work.
