I'm a Light Novel Master in Japan

All the topic posts basically introduced the whole meeting. I thought that the front door and the back door were blocked by book fans, but the old thief Uesugi escaped through a passage on the roof.

"You really deserve to be an old thief. You have prepared an escape route, and even the police can't catch him. I'm afraid you won't be able to get rid of the title of an old thief for the rest of your life."

Ying Riri looked at the post on her mobile phone, and said, looking at Uesugi Yan, who was beside him in a state of despair, with tattered clothes and embarrassed embarrassment.

Chapter 136 The Reborn Who Doesn't Want to Wake Up

At ten o'clock in the evening, although it was obvious that the autograph session was screwed up, it seems that Kagurazaka Ayame didn't think it was a complete failure. According to her work experience, the reaction of readers was so excited, which proved that the previous efforts have been very good. The advertising effect, if understood from the last farce, is also justifiable to detonate the readers' expectations.

Therefore, life still has to go on as usual. In a large liquor store in Shinjuku Ward, Kagurazaka Ayame and his party entertained Takashi Natsume and his party, who came from Hitoyoshi City, and the party of Sanwa Bunko last year. When visiting Hitoyoshi City, Natsume Takashi and Tanuma wanted to wait for someone to send Li Yan back, and they were considered to have a relationship with each other, so they were not strangers when they met today.

"...One day defeat, lifelong regret."

Li Yan sat cross-haired on the soft cushion, his head lowered with a gloomy expression, holding his phone in one hand, after flipping through the various attacking messages and jokes on the forum and Twitter, he couldn't help but let out a low sigh.

His thank-you meeting has almost turned into a night comedy, and the Internet is full of laughter.

"Isn't this what you asked for? You're almost done, but you think that after understanding each other with readers, you will be understood if you ask for a vacation for more than half a year in person. Which author will be blocked, okay?"

Eiri, who was holding the juice beside him, stared at him with contempt and reproach, and whispered reproachfully.

However, even if it wasn't for leave in person, if it was sent as a notice on the website, the result is estimated to be the same: readers will never forgive writers who update too slowly.

"Uh... that's it, let's go one step at a time. Well, Eri, it's already so late, do you want to stay in Shinjuku for an extra night?"

Li Yan turned his head to look at Ying Lili. While his heart ached, he also realized the time issue, so he did not forget to ask Ying Lili about her arrangement.

"No, of course I have to go back, because I didn't ask for tomorrow's leave, and there is still an exam. But I don't need to trouble you when I go back. The Kagurazaka editor told me that I will drive the car tonight. When I go back, you still have a good rest, don't think too much, and after you have a good rest, write down, and all the complaints will stop immediately."

At this moment, Ying Riri frowned slightly, her eyes seemed to be worried, she turned her face and glanced at him slightly, and said.

"...How can it be so exaggerated, although it is indeed uncomfortable."

Li Yan's face was relaxed, and he spoke to Ying Lili calmly.

As the banquet drew to a close, the night became darker and darker.

At this moment, Li Yan suddenly noticed that on the seat on the side of Hitoyoshi City, after Natsume Takashi went to the toilet, he did not come back after a period of time. He knew that Natsume was often attacked by monsters inexplicably. Not sure if Teacher Cat was by his side at the moment, he got a little worried and got up and walked out the door.

The night is deep, and the bright mirror-like moon hangs in the sky. This large-scale wine house is surrounded by lush courtyards. The scenery is quaint and beautiful. Hear the hustle and bustle of the din and the tones of the guqin.

Li Yan walked in the direction of the toilet, but just after a few steps, when he passed a courtyard, he saw Takashi Natsume and Teacher Cat in the depths of the Japanese-style garden, and they seemed to be discussing something.

"Xiamu." Li Yan stood in the corridor and called out to Xiamu.

"Senior, you are here." Xia Mu Guizhi was stunned for a moment, then saw Li Yan and said with a smile.

"Li, what are you doing here all of a sudden, but it's just right, you bastard, you really dare to take a year off, believe it or not, I'll tie you up and throw you into the river now!"

The cat teacher seemed to be drinking, and looked like he was intoxicated. After seeing Li Yan, his round body became furious and roared fiercely at Li Yan.

"Teacher cat, don't be so rude."

"Long-winded, Natsume, you don't know how inferior this guy's character is."

Teacher Cat and Takashi Natsume started arguing for a while, and Li Yan looked at them helplessly and said, "Let's not talk about tonight's matter for the time being, I will seriously consider the opinions of the readers. What are you doing here, I thought you were attacked again, so I came out to take a look."

"No, the number of youkai in Tokyo is very small, so in urban areas with many people, it is generally safer, seniors don't need to worry." Natsume Takaishi said with a smile.

"Hmph, my bodyguard is here, you don't have to worry about it, you bastard." Teacher Cat said with disdain, holding the wine bottle staggeringly.

"...That's good, today you came to visit me with Duoqi and Tanuma-san, and I'm really sorry that it's been delayed until now. If you want to go back tomorrow, you guys will live in my dormitory tonight, Duoqiu. My classmates live in my neighbor’s house, and hotels in Shinjuku are almost sky-high, so I don’t recommend you to live there.”

Li Yan pondered for a while, arranged the accommodation for their group, and suggested.

"...Then I'm sorry, senior."

Although Xia Mu had already understood that his party would disturb Li Yan when he came here, he could only be thick-skinned and accept the care of his predecessors and put him and his friends in this way.

The night wind was blowing in this breezy courtyard, Li Yan tightened his coat slightly, looked at them casually, looked at them, and asked, "So, what are you discussing here?"

After all, it can be seen from the looks of one person and one cat before that the matters they discussed were not easy.

"It's like this, the monsters from Hitoyoshi City are not used to the densely populated living area in Tokyo, so Mr. Cat intends to bring the monsters back tonight. After all, the monsters can fly, probably It takes a day to get back to the forest in Hitoyoshi City, but the journey is long and I am a little worried that something will happen along the way.”

Natsume Takashi looked at this concrete world full of high-rise buildings and said, "However, I can also understand the feelings of the monsters. I have rarely come to the urban area for activities, and sure enough... If you look at the sky here, you can't see it. You can see the stars."

The area over Hitoyoshi City is vast and sparsely populated, and the economy is not as developed as Tokyo. At night, the sky in the countryside is usually bright with stars, but Tokyo is as bright as day at the moment, which may be unbearable for monsters. One of the factors in the urban environment.

"...That's true. It's the so-called light pollution. It lights up the areas where human beings live, and at the same time covers up the beautiful starry sky." Li Yan agreed with Tokyo's gloomy parts, and said to them with some emotion.

"That, senior... I hope you don't take the matter tonight. Everyone likes to read your book to have such a reckless behavior. The cat teacher is generally only interested in human food. This is the first time for me. Seeing it will like human novels so much. So seniors should forgive them."

Natsume Takazhi showed a gentle smile and persuaded Li Yan, as if he was worried that Li Yan would be depressed because of tonight's conflict.

"It doesn't matter, it should be said that although I am in a bad mood, I also know what you mean by Natsume. It is not an exaggeration to say that these are happiness. At this time, there are readers who are paying attention to my works, and some friends who are concerned about it. I am satisfied."

The night wind blew the woods rustling, and Li Yan, who was standing under the bright moon, showed a slight vicissitudes of life, and said, "After all, compared to before, these are all happy experiences. If it is a dream, I really don't want to wake up, and I don't want to be separated from everyone..."

"..."

Teacher Cat and Takashi Natsume stopped talking, watching this young man laugh, but no matter how happy he said, when he laughed, there was an indescribable loneliness and sadness.

Late at night, in an apartment building in the Shinjuku district.

In Room 505, everyone put down their luggage and planned to temporarily stay in Li Yan's room for one night, and then take the Shinkansen back to Hitoyoshi City at [-]:[-] in the morning, but borrowed all the beds and quilts. After that, I found that it was still not enough, and there was one less.
