I'm a Light Novel Master in Japan

"...Uh, I-I probably wrote it down, eh... It was called the Margarita Hotel, no wonder I couldn't find it, it's a little embarrassing." The middle school girl seemed to be hiding something, afraid of disturbing this one. Unfamiliar passerby, she smiled shyly and said.

"Isn't this an expression that I don't remember at all?" Li Yan looked at her reaction, and after interacting with Satania and other juniors for a long time, he could see at a glance the girl's mind.

After a moment of silence, he finally compromised. It was somewhat inconvenient to lead an unfamiliar middle school girl. After all, the other party was more or less wary of him, but he still couldn't bear it. He looked at her and asked, "If you don't mind, if your cell phone happens to be out of power, I'll take you there, right? I don't mean anything else, I can only say that it's a coincidence that I happened to have someone to do it there too. some things."

The middle school girl blinked in surprise, Li Yan originally thought that he had been misunderstood and approached, but he didn't expect this girl to smile happily and nodded and said, "Ah... Really?! I won't bother you, it's a big help!"

Li Yan was stunned for a moment. This girl actually agreed, and he was a little relieved. After all, it is very common in Japan to misunderstand this kind of behavior as picking up a conversation. The other party is not so glassy, ​​which is a good thing.

"Well, I understand what the senior is worried about. After all, I am afraid that others will misunderstand. It's okay, I am not a fool. Since it is an international hotel, it must be on a prominent street, it is very safe, so seniors don't have to worry so much. of."

This young girl noticed Li Yan's concerns, and said comfortingly with a smile.

Out of courtesy, she tucked her hands behind her waist and said with a smile, "I'll introduce myself, my name is Hikigu, I'm from Chiba Prefecture, please give me some advice, senior."

※※※

The crowded streets are full of tourists with blonde hair and blue eyes or who speak Chinese and Korean. Among them, there are also Japanese people who go out to shop on holidays, making the originally wide streets seem a little crowded.

"Senior, did you go to that hotel to see your favorite cartoonist? I met a lot of fans along the way who were planning to go there to find the cartoonist's autograph."

This middle school girl with the surname Hikigu asked curiously while following Li Yan in the crowded street.

After all, she is a passerby. After Hikigu, who is a junior, briefly introduced herself, she knew that the surname of this senior who looked seventeen or eighteen was Uesugi. When she was at the subway entrance, just when she ventured to Tokyo alone to ask for an autograph, However, when he realized that he had probably misremembered the name of the hotel and was at a loss, he realized that this young man with a mask, who was of a similar age and looked a little sharp in his eyes, was well-dressed, especially the pair of eyes that were rarely approached by others. But it gave this middle school girl Mo Ming a sense of closeness, probably similar to her brother's dead fish eyes, so I went over to ask and found out that he was indeed a good person.

Although she is still a middle school student, she has always had a good eye for seeing people.

"I also like to read manga, but this time I'm going there on behalf of a friend. Hikigu, did you have a favorite manga artist who attended that banquet?"

After being in contact with her for a while, Li Yan seemed to like a middle school student with such a personality, so he asked a little.

"Hmm, there are many, such as Mr. Hoshino who drew "The Exorcist", Mr. Sai who drew "The Exorcist", Mr. Saii from "Kunno-san doesn't need a partner", Mr. Aoyama from "The Devil's Detective Agency", and Mr. Tatsuya from "Shi-Sword" Mr. Bian, and also... from the book market, Mr. Kashiwagi, whose comic name is "Soul Eater", is my favorite cartoonist!"

Hikigu nodded, and then said the works and names of many cartoonists, and his eyes sparkled a little. It seemed that he really liked these works, so he came from Chiba to see the author's true face.

Li Yan found out that this middle school girl likes the current serial comic books that are mostly male, and Mio Aoyama, the author of the comic book "Devil Detective Agency", seems to be the pseudonym of Shiina Mashiro, and Aoyama's surname is taken from The roommate Qingshan Qihai, and Mio, implied the meaning of zero, that is, blank, Ma Shiro's name, and also can see the significance of Nanhai to her in Ma Shiro's mind.

And the manga of "Soul Eater" is naturally the work of Ying Lili.

As the dark horse works of the comics industry, the two books are currently doing well in their contribution to the magazine and in the sales of single-volume books. It is precisely because of this that Shiina Mashiro and Eri Li are eligible to be officially invited to this important gathering in the comics industry. middle.

"Jianjiang!! I brought all their works here. To be honest, it's quite heavy to carry, but it's worth it to be able to sign one."

Hikigu showed a bright smile, and seemed to have the same conspicuous tiger teeth as Yingli Li. She opened her backpack to Li Yan to see, and the stack of comic books inside seemed to be prepared.

However, when Li Yan looked at her backpack, he inadvertently saw a very familiar text. The cover was somewhat similar to the cover of the seventh volume he wrote, but before he could see it clearly, Bi Qigu slightly avoided The passers-by have already put away their packages for the convenience of walking.

"Uh, there are so many people here. As expected of Tokyo, if I come here by myself, I should be lost soon."

Hikigu looked at all kinds of foreigners walking by, and said with emotion.

"Don't worry, the road conditions looked a bit complicated when you first came here, but after you go through it once, you will become familiar with the more complicated roads soon, and you won't get lost. But you come here alone, does it really matter? It's a middle school student, so my family should be worried when they find out."

Li Yan looked at her sideways and asked.

"It's okay, I've actually come out many times by myself. After all, I'm a junior high school student, and I've been to Tokyo many times, but this is the first time I've been here in Shibuya. Even if my parents and brother knew about it, they wouldn't I'm worried, it's me after all."

Hearing this, Hikigu said with a smile.

As a result, I walked quite fast all the way. After walking along the pedestrian street in Shibuya for a while, I soon arrived at the hotel called [Margarita].

It was a ten-story, elegantly decorated hotel. The first three floors were all glass interior design, while the third floor and above were housing designs.At the entrance of the hotel, there are many tourists and pedestrians, and it seems that the purpose of coming here is the same as Hikigu, just to see the true face and style of the famous cartoonist.

A masked youth wearing a shirt and trousers, and a backpack girl wearing a fresh T-shirt and shorts faced this hotel and finally reached their destination.

"That's it, the hotel where the cartoonists meet, I remember it should be held on the third floor." Li Yan said to Hikigu next to him.

"The Margaret Hotel, I finally found it, the third floor... I understand!"

Hikigu looked at the glass window on the third floor and said happily.

After seeing the group of fans standing inside the hotel holding comic books and diaries, she suddenly said with a bit of embarrassment: "Uh, it's really late, it's only [-]:[-], I feel like I'm already in a good position. occupied..."

"Then hurry up and occupy a good position. I don't think there are many people. If you look for it now, there should be a chance."

"That's right, then I'll hurry up and get a good seat!"

Bikigu understood, she was carrying a heavy backpack and hurried over, but halfway through the run, she realized something, and ran back immediately, bowed slightly to Li Yan, showed a bright smile, and said, "Almost I forgot, thank you so much, Uesugi-senpai!"

Li Yan looked at the back of Bi Qigu running past, and was a little envious of the middle school students who had nothing to worry about. When he was his age, he didn't have such an opportunity to follow manga. Who would have expected him to be with Japanese Two -dimensional culture has an indissoluble bond.

Under the vast blue sky, he raised his head and looked at the third floor of the hotel. As a light novel writer, he went to attend the cartoonist's banquet, and he didn't know whether he would really successfully complete the entrustment of Inri.

※※※

The temperature inside the hotel is quite suitable. In the corridor on the third floor of the hotel, there is a group of fans who are waiting for their favorite cartoonists. The corridor was originally spacious, but a separation zone was made in the middle to separate the fans from the road. , It seems that the hotel still acquiesced in the fans' support for the cartoonist.

At this moment, in the contracted banquet venue on the third floor, there are already many popular comic writers, including old-fashioned comic artists who are known in the streets, as well as new popular comic artists who have just debuted and have bright prospects, as well as illustrators from various libraries. Teachers, all gathered in this venue.

It has to be said that there are very few opportunities for many popular cartoonists to meet together, just like the advertising effect, which has attracted the attention of the society and the market.

Li Yan's attire and age are more like the staff of Wenku or Manga Company. He happened to be walking behind a group of Wenku Company staff and was not noticed by the crowd. As a result, when he arrived at the front desk at the entrance of the venue, he stopped at the Got this in front of a wooden front desk.

"Hello, sorry, sir, do you have an invitation letter from the company here?" a front desk employee in a suit asked politely.

"...No, the invitation letter is from my friend. I came here on behalf of a cartoonist friend of mine. She had a cold recently, so I was commissioned by her to come to the banquet."

Li Yan was a little nervous. He smiled awkwardly and said to the front desk employee.
