I'm a Light Novel Master in Japan

Chapter 178 The Dilemma of Volume Seven

May in Kumamoto is summer. After school in the afternoon, I don't know when the drizzle rains again, pattering, misty and rainy in a small town surrounded by green mountains and green waters.

"I remember, it's here... Natsume, have you sorted out the things here?"

Teacher Cat's entire fat body got into a cardboard box in the closet to search for something, her butt was high, and she asked nervously.

"Mr. Cat, what are you looking for, I remember... Aunt Tazi should have sorted out the cabinets, and all the unnecessary things have been put in the utility room, what's wrong?"

Natsume Takashi, who was sitting at the table reading a book, looked at the monster cat curiously, thought about it, and asked back.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhly "

The cat teacher suddenly became furious. After complaining a few words, he immediately took his calf and went to the utility room not far from the second floor.

"Ms. Cat is hiding something in the room, shouldn't it be something strange..." Natsume Takashi had a bad premonition in his heart, looking at the direction where Mr. Cat was leaving, thinking to himself.

As a result, in the utility room, after some searching, sure enough, Mr. Cat found an item wrapped in newspaper from a high shelf. After unpacking it, he took out a brand-new novel book from the newspaper, and immediately loosened it. After a sigh of relief, he said, "Well, I found it, I'm really worried to death."

"...Eh, Teacher Cat, what are these books?"

At the door, Takashi Natsume, who was a little worried at first, secretly followed, but when he saw that the item Mr. Cat cared about was actually a book, he was a little surprised, so he walked in and looked at it while asking inexplicably.

"Ah, what is this?"

As a result, in the somewhat dim utility room, Natsume Takashi could see clearly that it turned out to be a collection of novels called "Super Power Academy War".

"Senior Li's work, something hidden by Mr. Cat, turned out to be a light novel?" Natsume Takashi quietly looked at the text of the light novel, which was basically new and hardcover, and thought to himself.

"Otherwise, what do you think my collection will be?" Teacher Cat asked Natsume Takashi with those funny eyes.

"No, I thought Mr. Cat would hide some strange monster props, or mice or something..." Natsume Takashi smiled a little embarrassedly.

"Ah?! What do you mean, do you think of me as a cat? How many times have you asked me to tell me that I just have this disguised appearance..."

The cat teacher suddenly became furious and protested at Natsume Takashi.

But before he finished speaking, Natsume Takazhi teased the cat teacher with the cat-teasing stick placed on the side, and the result was no different from knowing the cat teacher at the beginning. to scratch with his forefoot, he thought to himself, "Isn't this completely unchanged?"

"Ah?!" The cat teacher was suddenly startled, and found that he couldn't help but make a cat's thought action.

"Mr. Cat, I remember that you have already read these novels. Why did you buy the novels again... Wait a minute, Mr. Cat, you won't steal other people's things, will you?"

Natsume Takazhi thought about it carefully, and suddenly felt extremely frightened when he thought about it. He hugged Teacher Cat and asked anxiously.

"Hmph, it's not stealing. How could such a noble monster like me do such a thing? These collector's editions are my reward for rescuing that guy Li last time."

The cat teacher said with a look of disdain.

"Eh?"

"Didn't I go out for a few days last time to find Li in Tokyo? After the so-called [existence swap] incident was successfully resolved, Li didn't seem to be an adult yet, so he couldn't buy me any wine at all, so As compensation, I bought this collection of novels for me."

Teacher Cat, with an expression like an old man, casually patted the writing, and said, "I have nothing to do recently, so I will just read the novel a little bit. It seems that some of the previous plots have been forgotten."

"...Reread it?" Natsume Takashi asked.

"Well, the seventh volume written by Li will be published at the beginning of next month. Really, that guy has no self-awareness as a writer at all. Sanxiao and I have waited so hard, he can't understand it. I have already read it. After finishing the DVD version of the anime, I suddenly found that the novel is more interesting, and I basically forgot a lot of the previous ones, so I turned it out and recollected it carefully."

After the cat-sensei explained slowly, he lifted up the six heavy novels with his mouth, but such a body was a waste of energy, and Natsume helped to pick up the books.

One person and one cat walked from the corridor back to the bedroom in the rainy weather. As a result, the cat teacher continued to flip through the book, ready to read.

"Teacher Cat, if you've read it once before, you should already know the development of the story. If you read it again, wouldn't it be boring?" Natsume sat cross-legged on the tatami, calmly looking at the window hanging from the window. The bell, at this moment, the bell swayed slightly in the wind and rain, making a jingling sound, and asked.

"Ah, it should be like this, but memory is really a wonderful thing. If you remember it all the time, it may not be a good thing. If you forget it, you will know some good memories and some bad memories. But, don't Looking down on the novels written by Li, I and other monsters have also read light novels written by other humans, to be honest, they are basically stories of fantasy girls suddenly liking the useless male protagonist, so boring."

Teacher Cat raised his head and looked at Natsume, and said, "However, Li's novels have very good content. Those who write stories seriously do not incorporate false fantasy and beauty, but sublime some insights in life. In the story, this is the place that our monsters like, and you won't get bored after watching it a few times."

"..."

Natsume Takashi was stunned for a moment, and after a moment of silence, he smiled slightly.Perhaps it was indeed the case. That senior had always been hiding unsaid experiences and stories, and always felt that he could feel a sense of deja vu. However, Li Yan experienced the beauty of life in the midst of suffering. , became so strong and powerful, he kept looking at Li Yan's back, hoping to learn some valuable spirit from this mysterious figure.

The sound of the rain outside the window is a little quiet.

"I don't know what the seniors are doing at the moment?" Natsume Guizhi looked out the window and asked inadvertently.

"Probably trying to write, although his morals are bad and useless, but that guy still has high requirements for his works, and his attitude towards readers is also very sincere. Now that school is over on Friday, he should devote himself to writing and leave it to him. I'm running out of time to write."

The cat teacher looked at the book and said casually.

Are you... slaving away at your desk writing novels?

Natsume seems to be able to imagine that although he was attacked by readers, including Mr. Cat, at the autograph event in Tokyo, he can also see that the senior readers have a really good opinion of him.

……

As the night approached, the cat teacher, who had been reading the novel in a state of hunger and thirst, with a faint white light on her body, finally finished reading the sixth volume again. Suddenly, Natsume saw bloodshot eyes from this fat cat's eyes. Immediately, Natsume's face turned blue.

"Cat, cat teacher..."

It seems that the book addiction that Mr. Cat got rid of in a month is finally relapsed. Every volume of Li Yan's novels has deliberately left suspense and plot breaks. The writing skills of the tight plot are in the sixth volume It is still as pure as fire, and the plot of the story has not been dragged out once, which is why Uesugi Yan's works are loved and hated, and the monsters in Hitoyoshi are also waiting for the release of the seventh volume.

In the quiet country house, there seems to be the familiar noise of ghosts and animals...

In the Shinjuku district of Tokyo, in the middle of the night, in an urban forest filled with lights, in an apartment building, a row of single apartments 405, 505, 605 are all lit up, and it is as lively as ever.
