I'm a Light Novel Master in Japan

But more importantly, he confirmed this location with his own eyes. The legendary [Elizabeth Tower], which is also commonly known as [Big Ben], is on top of his head. In this case, Shiina Mashiro pointed it out to them in the email. waiting place.

"Big Ben, it's here, I've been here a few times before."

Ying Lili, who was beside Li Yan, raised her head and looked at this landmark in London, and said with a smile.

"... Really white her, let us wait for her in front of this clock tower?"

Behind Li Yan and Ying Lili, because they were worried, they asked Qingshan Qihai who came over together.

"Yeah, waiting under Big Ben, that's how she replied to me."

Li Yan looked at the green mountains and seven seas and replied.

Before leaving, Li Yan specially sent an email to Shiina Mashiro. He guessed that if Shiina Mashiro's mobile phone was monitored by her parents, then her dedicated mailbox should still be able to be used.

As a result, not long after the email was sent, really, Shiina sent him an email with the words "Waiting under the Big Ben Clock Tower" written on it, so he, Yingri, and Aoyama Qikai and his party took a seat from the airport. Came to this famous landmark historic building by bus.

The purpose of Qingshan Qihai's trip was naturally to hope that she could be of help. Mashiro lived with her for several months, and experienced many things together, including encountering the legendary monster in the wheat field. ], being held in her arms for protection.When there was a fever in the city of Tokyo, only this girl with long blond hair was guarding her side. In the two-person stage play, she was the only one who still worked hard with her to the end...

So, she is here, to protect Shiro's dream.

Eri Sawamura, who was wearing dark green clothes and a white skirt, came along this time, and it was because of the ill-fated battle with Shiina Mashiro for the illustrator that lasted for two months. After hearing about the incident , she chose to come to London with them. Her philosophy is basically the same as others. The right to creative freedom should not be deprived of her parents, and she believes that she is half British and can serve as a tour guide for Li Yan and others. effect.

It was ten o'clock in the morning, and the Thames was foggy.

The rain in London in June has always been somewhat frequent, and it is often called a "fog city", which is often filled with humid fog like this.

Li Yan's mood was also a little uncertain. Although he really got Shiina Mashiro's reply, from the words in the reply, he always felt that this was not sent by Shiina himself, but someone with ulterior motives who invited them to come over. Wait here.

While the group was waiting, about [-] minutes passed, and they still hadn't waited for Shiina Mashiro to arrive.

Although Li Yan's email had been sent before.

"I'm a little thirsty, do you want to buy drinking water?" Qingshan Qihai, who was waiting on the side, asked with a slight smile.

"Uh, me too. When I was on the plane, I didn't dare to drink a sip of water, and now I'm a little thirsty..." Ying Li Li also responded, she looked around, and she found one not far away. The street shop, with a bright eye, said, "Sure enough, the stalls here are still there. If you are there, let's go there and buy some drinking water and snacks."

"Otaku Li, what drink do you want, is juice okay?"

When Eiri passed by with Nanami, she turned her head and asked.

"Yes, thank you." Li Yan said.

"OK."

After Eiri made a gesture, she walked over.

In the end, as Li Yan knew before, when Yingli was buying drinks at a stall not far away, he spoke Japanese English of [this], [this] and [this], and the store manager asked a series of questions in English. After that, Ying Riri's expression was ignorant, and then she shook her head.

When Ying Lili handed Li Yan a bottle of water with an embarrassed expression on her face, Li Yan still thought to herself, "Sure enough, Ying Lili, besides your hair and British blood, you are a thoroughgoing person inside and out. The Japanese..."

At this moment, in front of the group of people under the Big Ben Bell Tower, a traditional English carriage with two white horses suddenly stopped, causing Li Yan, Ying Lili and others to look over.

As a result, a white-haired, white butler old man in a suit came down from the carriage, walked to the other carriage, and opened the door respectfully.

"You must have been waiting for a long time."

A slightly thin and handsome middle-aged oriental man stepped down from the carriage, looked at them and said.In terms of conversation and clothing, people feel a refined and slightly hearty temperament.

Ying Lili and Nanhai were suddenly surprised, especially Nanami, she whispered: "This is Shiro's father..."

"..."

Li Yan understood, and his eyes began to stare at the father of this dear friend. Sure enough, the email he sent was not received by Shiina Shinshiro, but her father had something to say to them... No, to be precise, it should be It is to talk to the culprit who changed Shiina Mashiro without authorization.

"Hello, I'm Shiina's friend and senior. My name is Li Yan. Please give me some advice." Li Yan bowed slightly, and when he raised his head, he looked at this white father with a slightly concerned look... He is also a famous Japanese painter.

"Li Jun, I have always planned to have a good chat with you. I finally saw you today. I thank you on behalf of Zhenbai. Then, let's go to a place with a few of us. Please get on the carriage."

The Shiina's father smiled and extended his hand to invite them to board the carriage.

In this British Big Ben clock tower, in front of a carriage, finally two "artists" who strongly influenced Shiina Mashiro's growth direction met in a somewhat meaningful atmosphere of struggle this time.

※※※

On the wet streets of London, a carriage is slowly driving on the road. The interior of the carriage is very spacious. Even if there are six people including the coachman, two white horses still pull the carriage with ease and stroll through the dark and bustling streets of London. .

"Mashiro is my only daughter. A few months ago, because of some things, she left London and went to Japan, and with the assistance of her cousin, she went through the admission procedures for that side of the high school. Her mother and I went through the admission procedures. It wasn't until I came back from Austria a month ago that I found out that she had gone abroad without telling us."

On the carriage, Shiina's father smiled faintly and told what happened.

"She has always been taken care of by her mother or maid. By the way, there is Miss Rita in the school to help her. From childhood to adulthood, our family has only one expectation for her, that is, she can enjoy herself. Paint the world she wants to paint, that's all."

He quietly looked at the window of the carriage and said, "It's true that her talent was born with God's nostalgia. If there are no accidents, the world's art history will definitely record her paintings and her experiences in the future. Since this is my daughter's talent, as parents, we naturally hope that she can reach the realm that we can't reach, so, keep her pure heart... However, when I went to Japan to pick her up recently, I didn't Found some changes in her."

After Shiina's father finished speaking, his eyes naturally glanced at Li Yan, and the meaning was self-evident.

"...She has become reliable. I don't think this is a sign of backwardness." Li Yan replied without any timidity.

Shiina's father showed an embarrassed wry smile, but after saying that, he regained his composure, his eyes became serious, and said, "However, when I meet you this time, I hope you can understand my intentions."

"Mashiro is my daughter, born in a painting family, she has an extraordinary talent for painting, and she has never hated the day-to-day painting life... My wife and I have enough wealth to protect her from the cold , I also hope that such a god-sent artist can live in her world without any worries. Products like comics are only recreational items after all, and I don’t want her talent and time to be wasted there. The life of an artist is not It should be overly contaminated with the pollution of the world, especially the precious and beautiful Mashiro who is like snow. Li Jun, Miss Aoyama, and Miss Sawamura, this time I want to take you to the world where Mashiro worked hard. Knowing my intentions as her father and as a painter, I hope you can forgive a parent who loves her daughter deeply."

"..."

Li Yan, Ying Lili and Qi Hai fell silent. On the one hand, since this "father" told them about this, he could only wait for the place he was going to take them to. On the other hand, he looked through the window. In the past, they have been able to see their possible final destination.

Tate Modern.
