I'm a Light Novel Master in Japan

"..." Li Yan suddenly felt that this British girl seemed to have given the answer to him, and he understood it at a glance.

"Got home."

Shiina Mashiro said something to Li Yan indifferently.

"Well... Yes, it's already here. I'm sorry, I drove a bit hastily, and the road was bumpy. It didn't affect your ability to write down your own story ideas, right?" Li Yan felt that the girl didn't see the car window. The figure of the headless knight swaying beside him, since that was the case, he simply didn't mention it anymore. After all, such a terrifying ghost attacked, an ordinary person would not be able to sleep well tonight.

"It's not your fault, after all, there are headless ghosts chasing us." Shiina Mashiro looked at Li Yan calmly and said.

"Don't you know it all?!"

Li Yan complained in surprise.

In a sense, Shiina Mashiro's reaction was even more frightening than encountering the Headless Horseman. It seemed that nothing in this world could frighten her. It was the first time that Li Yan, who had experienced many battles She was so frightened when she saw the Headless Horseman, she turned a blind eye, so she shouldn't be called Shiina Mashiro, but Shiina should be calmer.

In short, being home safe and sound is better than anything else.Li Yan got out of the car and opened the car door for Shiina Mashiro. Their clothes and hair were covered in a lot of mud and weeds. The two who looked so embarrassed were just about to drag their bodies back to the apartment building.

Shiina Mashiro hugged her album, and after she went back, she dyed the scene she drew that day, and the white hat was still on her head, so cute that she looked a little immature and ignorant.Those paintings were used as the basis for Li Yan's further research. This was a way of recording cases in the [-]th century when photos were not yet popular. It seems that through the eyes of Zhenbai's unparalleled discernment, he was able to capture what photos could not capture. Thing, I have to say, she can really become the assistant "Watson" that a famous detective is proud of.

Li Yan secretly felt that if Shiina Mashiro really studied manga and illustration seriously, over time, it might not matter if she surpassed Yingri. Perhaps Yingri's painting talent can only be regarded as outstanding, while Shiina's talent can be described as unparalleled. If Yingli Li really lost to her in terms of illustration work ability, how should he deal with such a crisis of trust...

"are you back?"

Suddenly, in the apartment building, a girl suddenly asked from the doorway.

"Ok?"

Li Yan was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look. As a result, Sawamura Yingri, who was wearing a blue coat, was quietly leaning against the wall, looking at them with a somewhat impatient look.

"Uh... Eri, why... why are you here?"

Li Yan suddenly turned pale in shock, looked at her and asked.

"I used to submit the manuscript to the company. The company recently planned to print the characters of "Super Power Academy War" as posters and sell them, so light novels are really profitable. Posters, figures, and follow-up product designs will be completed by me one by one. , I can't be busy, cough cough..."

When Sawamura Eiri spoke, she couldn't help but coughed a few times. Even though she still had a fever yesterday, she had the energy to rush over to deliver the manuscript on time. Li Yan couldn't help but look at her with some helplessness and worry, and said: "As for working so hard for work?"

"You don't have the right to tell me, Saburo desperately... And I don't want to lose my job during my rest period." Sawamura Eiri blushed and whispered impatiently. stand up.

"...Do you know all about it?" Li Yan was slightly taken aback and asked.

"..."

Eri Sawamura stood up straight, and her spirit seemed to return to the level of concentration immediately. She looked at the genius painter who was wearing an obviously ill-fitting coat and hat. It was rumored that his paintings could be collected by the British Royal Family. The girl Shiina Mashiro, and Shiina Mashiro, who had a calm face, also turned her head and looked at her quietly, looking at each other.

The night was so quiet, and the sound of the wind whistling outside the door was clearly transmitted in this quiet apartment building lobby... It seemed that the air was a little colder.

However, Li Yan stood between these two girls, but for some reason, his mouth was dry, and his forehead was so nervous that he was sweating...

There are not many similar people in the world, and such similar people may only have one person in this life.

The same is a painter, the same is of mixed English and Japanese, the same has been exposed to the two-dimensional world, and even the age is the same...

"Well, excuse me, my name is Eri Sawamura, I'm the illustrator in charge of this guy's work. I want to talk to him about a little bit today, can you lend him to me temporarily? I'll pay it back later. to you?"

Eri Sawamura smiled, put her hands behind her, and asked politely.

……

In a convenience store on the street, Li Yan looked distressed at the pile of coins left in his wallet. After there was no more paper money, he silently put it away, walked out of the store with a few cans of hot milk, and put a can of milk. It was delivered to Ying Lili.

"You're so poor, looking at your distressed expression, I'm embarrassed."

Eri Sawamura smiled wickedly, completely different from the meaning of the words, drank milk unceremoniously, glanced at him, and joked.

"I just paid the rent, tuition, books and miscellaneous fees... Do you think these fees will be cheap?"

Li Yan reluctantly calculated the expenses with Ying Lili and asked a question.

It seems that life in Tokyo, no matter how high the income is, seems to be a bit beyond making ends meet. Li Yan has left a lot of living expenses for himself, but he still seems to be stretched.

"Tsk tsk, you are really worthless, you are a guy with hundreds of thousands of book fans, and you even count your family money with your partner. Even so, if your manuscript fees are accumulated now, you can buy a house in Tokyo with full payment. Oh. But I also know that you have difficulties too..."

Ying Li Li, who was holding the hot yogurt, suddenly remembered something, narrowed her eyes, looked at Li Yan suspiciously, and asked, "I may have talked a little too much, I originally planned to chat with you before going to the company, but I saw you. I went out with the new painter, hoo hoo~~ I heard that you met yesterday, right? You are already familiar enough to take girls out to play, what's going on, what's the trick?"

"...Just take her to get acquainted with the road in Tokyo, she has just come from England, that's all."

Li Yan hesitated and explained.

Yingri snorted twice, looked at him in complete disbelief, and said, "Is that so, I always think you're lying, but it's understandable, after all, the other party is a great beauty and a fan of your books, I have traveled all the way here to be an illustrator for you. This kind of courage is really admirable. It is normal for you to entertain and please. If you are enlightened, I am very pleased, but I always feel that this kind of thing is a bit difficult. .cough cough..."

"..."

Li Yan looked at Ying Riri who turned around and coughed softly. Although Ying Riri didn't seem to intend to pursue him for going out with Mashiro, at first he thought Ying Riri had noticed that he was investigating the matter on the Spencer's side. And when he came over, he soon realized that it was not the case, and his mood improved a lot.

If it wasn't for the last moment, he didn't want to tell Yingri about the curse of the Holy Land. Yingri's concentration was not enough, and perhaps recklessly stunned the snake, it would put her in a more dangerous situation.

Also...he didn't want to see Inri-ri feeling sad about her family until the truth came out.The family is broken, and he seems to know the pain better than anyone.

"Uh, obviously the fever subsided, why did I suddenly feel a little dizzy... Well, otaku Li, I actually planned to go back this afternoon, but I finally thought about it..."

Ying Riri raised her head and looked at the cloudy night sky, her fair and smooth cheeks flushed slightly, she said with a smile, "I still want to tell you, I won't lose, I know you and Shiina her. The promise that you made, you actually made me fight against a world-class genius without authorization. This is a pit friend, isn't it, but... I know that you understand me, and I will not accept human help. In that case, let's go. Before a new book, I will also improve my painting skills, and then we will still be partners, right?"

She looked at Li Yan with a smile, so full of confidence, without any pressure, but with high fighting spirit.

Li Yan was stunned for a while, and then he showed a gentle smile.

This is Ying Lili who will not admit defeat.
