I'm a Light Novel Master in Japan

"That, Li... Li..."

After Rita took a sip of the drink, she hesitated and planned to ask something.

"Just call me Li directly. Is there anything you want to say?" Li Yan was slightly taken aback and asked.

Rita looked at Li Yan's hands that had been stained with blood before, but now they have been cleaned, and whispered, "Thank you for saving me."

Li Yan showed a faint smile and said, "When encountering such a thing, someone with a conscience will definitely help. In the future, you should pay more attention to the surrounding environment, even if it is praised as a safe place, there is a possibility of danger. exist."

"This... I'll keep that in mind in the future. Now... I have something to ask you about."

Rita lowered her head slightly, her expression a little melancholy, and asked: "Li... Li, you are Zhenbai's favorite author, right? She has always liked to read your novels, but why? Why is her ability to paint? So good, but you refuse to let her be your illustrator?"

Li Yan fell silent.

He suddenly remembered that when Shiina Mashiro met him, she mentioned that the person who made the resume was a close friend of hers in England... According to the current situation, Rita should be the one who made the resume." "Best friend", she should be aware of the fact that Shiro came to Japan to apply for the position of illustrator of his next work.

"So, because of this incident, did you immediately have a rather bad impression of me?" Li Yan thought in shock while holding the fried chicken wings.

"No, there are more complicated reasons for this matter..." Li Yan explained.

Rita lowered her head and said sadly: "I don't mean to blame you, but... as expected, I still don't believe that someone would reject Mashiro's paintings, and Mashiro likes your novels so much, she should have prepared it before. I did everything to draw illustrations for you."

"..." Li Yan's eyes became slightly more shocked, listening to Rita's words.

"In the past, Zhenbai only had paintings in her eyes. Even when I came to her, she was completely unmoved. It seemed that she was born to create world-class art paintings and came to this world..."

Rita recalled the old days and slowly confided.

The weather on the street is cloudy or sunny, Rita has no appetite, just like the desperate period when she lost the opportunity to be noticed by Shinshiro when she lost completely to her best friend in the art palace.

"Suddenly one day, Mashiro's paintings were suddenly rejected by a child who didn't know anything about it. That kid likes to read Japanese manga, and as a result, Mashiro's long-standing belief was shaken. Later, he found me and asked about the comics... "

"I seriously searched for the most popular anime works in Japan, and at that time...it was me who introduced your work to Mashiro."

Rita raised her head, her eyes were full of grief, if she was introspective, she looked at Li Yan with emotion, and said.

Rita, who seemed to hate Uesugi at first sight, was the one who unintentionally guided Shiina Mashiro to his works...

"I bought a total of seven or eight different comics for Mashiro to read. Mashiro doesn't seem to be very interested in the comics I like. Until now, I don't know if I have opened Pandora's box, campus romance, and everyday life in another world. These girls My favorite work, Mashiro didn't have any impression after reading it, so I started to recommend comics-related...more popular light novels, and as a result, Mashiro found a light novel by himself, and it's your book..."

"I read it almost every day, forgot to sleep and secretly read it, secretly read it in class, and even was reprimanded and confiscated the novel by the teacher. She almost cried out of depression because of that time, so that the principal and teachers did not dare to control her anymore. I read a novel..."

Until one day, in the corridor of the art school, Shiina Mashiro suddenly stopped Rita.

——[Rita, Uesugi Yan wants to publish a new book and needs a new illustrator. 】

——【I want to go to Japan...Rita, help me. 】

Shiina Mashiro, who read the book very slowly, but meticulously read the five volumes of the novel, suddenly said this request to Rita with a blank expression, as if possessed by a demon.

"... At that time, Shiro was really arbitrary and self-willed."

Li Yan listened to Rita's remarks, and couldn't help but think of Shiina Mashiro who once asked him for underwear...

But hearing this, Li Yan became a little curious. No matter what, Rita helped Mashiro develop hobbies. As a friend, he could be forgiven, but why didn't Rita stop Shiina Mashiro from going to Japan without her parents' reckless behavior?

"Rita, since you really want to go back to England to study...why didn't you stop her at that time?" Li Yan looked at Rita suspiciously and asked.

"Prevent……"

Rita lowered her head and asked in a low voice.

"How could I stop her... I helped her to come to Japan smoothly..."

Rita looked bewildered and lost, her voice was small, trembling, but also with contradictions, pain, and resentment, she said to Li Yan: "...it's my best friend, in order to get revenge on her, let her I couldn't be a painter, so I sent her here with my own hands."

Chapter 319 The Reasoning Method of Buddhism

Room 505, One Yuan Apartment, Shinjuku District.

"That, really white..."

After investigation, Shiina Mashiro, who was about to leave room 505, was stopped by Aoyama Nanami.

"?"

Zhenbai was stunned for a moment, then stopped, standing in front of the dark entrance, looking back at Qingshan Qihai who looked a little hesitant.

Aoyama Nanami slightly put her right hand on her chest, with an uneasy expression. The information she has learned so far is that Shiina Mashiro and Rita seem to be involved in something, but she still has a blank mind, she can't make up her mind, and she hesitates again and again. After that, he opened his mouth and asked, "That... Rita has been here for many days, I still don't know the specific relationship between you and Rita, your relationship is very good... However, I sometimes feel that Rita has a very special relationship with you. Strong disagreement, I want to ask, how is Rita in your heart?"

Shiina Mashiro listened quietly, she seemed to start to think for a moment, and then said to Nanami: "Rita is my friend, the partner who lives with me."

"I did hear that you and her were roommates who lived together before." Nanami recalled the previous experience carefully, and muttered.

"Well, Rita used to help me with everything, getting dressed, combing my hair, doing laundry..." Shiina Mashiro nodded, and said calmly with that beautiful face.

Qingshan Qihai now understands, and she is a little curious about how Zhenbai lived in the past, but it turns out that this talented girl has a friend who is willing to take care of her.

If so, Rita is indeed a pretty good and enthusiastic girl.

Qingshan Qihai smiled bitterly and said, "You really caused trouble for others before, but when you first met, you really know nothing..."

"I... cause Rita trouble?" Shiina Mashiro was slightly taken aback and asked inexplicably.

Qingshan Qihai had a headache, and said to Zhen Bai with laughter and tears: "Let others take care of you like this for a few years, there is no salary and benefits, what is it not to cause trouble?!"

"..."
