There is nothing wrong with the training method of the Justice Messenger

Although it is not known where his confidence comes from, Sawamura seems to be very confident in his own abilities.

An Yi was very moved.

"Yinglili..."

"Hmph, don't get me wrong, Tomoya, this isn't about your boring plan!"

Sawamura turned his head away, flicked his ponytail, and had a look of disdain on his face.

"Well, I can tell there is no hint of coquettishness in your words."

"..." After hearing their statements again, Li Nian fell silent again.

If Li Nian thought that Amami's plan was a fantasy before, a big reason was because he felt that it was impossible for him to gather such a group of people. Now, this reason is no longer valid... because Kasumigaoka and Sawamura seem to really intend to take on Amami's commission.

"Thank you, Li Nian, for worrying about us." Kasumigaoka looked at Li Nian who seemed to be thinking about something, and said, "Indeed, the factors you just pointed out are enough to be reasons for anyone to refuse to participate, but obviously, this is not enough to discourage Sawamura and I, because we think it is possible to write an excellent script, draw excellent CG, and finally make an excellent game... That's what we think, and what about you? You haven't said your own thoughts so far, so what are you actually worried about? Is it like you said, that you think the script is difficult to write? The pay is too low? Not enough time? I can understand all of this, really. After all, compared with the job you are doing now, what we are talking about now, planning, games, creation, are just like children playing house."

Sawamura frowned and looked at Aki, and they both saw the confusion in each other's eyes.

His work has always been mentioned in the conversation between Kasumigaoka and Li Nian, and it seems to occupy a very key position in the logic of their conversation. Now it is mentioned again, and he said that compared with this, the efforts currently made by the people present to realize the plan are just playing house.

"He looks like a kid in comparison... What kind of job is so high-end? Renye, do you know what this guy does?"

"I don't know, I just heard that he got a job with a good salary." An Yi turned around and asked Wu Geng in a low voice: "Does Wu Geng know any details?"

"……I don't know either."

It was obvious that Gogen knew something, but when asked by An Yi, he pretended to be confused and looked away.

""Good Fake""

This made Aki and Sawamura more concerned.

Li Nian heard what Xia Zhiqiu said, raised his head and his tone turned cold.

"Is that a mockery of me?"

"I don't mean anything else. I'm serious about what I'm saying, so you can just tell me the truth." Kasumigaoka looked straight into Li Nian's eyes, and her expression was serious as she said, "I know that's your job. Compared to that, the money you get from writing scripts and the time it takes up may be too much of an effort."

"Well, you are right..."

"Moreover, we have to admit that your job is a more [significant] one, involving lives and matters of great importance. Doing this job, you have seen cruel things more deeply than anyone else present. Perhaps compared to the world you have seen, we are undoubtedly immature and will be treated as children's play, and there will be no room for rebuttal."

"..."

"So, you can just say it directly. If you feel that our pursuit is worthless to you, just say it directly. I won't complain and will give up immediately to show you."

Li Nian rubbed his nose bridge, feeling a headache.

"I have to say, Senior, you seem to have brought your habit of [deepening into character attributes] into real life."

"What can I do? I'm a novelist."

"Okay, you're right... Now that things have come to this, I should just say it out loud. I'll tell you..."

"…I guessed right?"

"You guessed wrong." Li Nian poured tea into his cup and said calmly, "This is also an opportunity. I'll be frank. I separate work and life very clearly. I don't like to discuss them together, and I don't want them to be implicated or influenced by each other. There is a clear line of black and white, so I don't like to bring it up, and I don't want others to delve into it, because I think it's not good for anyone. Do you understand what I mean, Senior Sister Kasumigaoka?"

"don't know."

"..."

The woman clearly understood, but she deliberately put on an expression that said "I don't understand what you are saying" and even winked at him.

...Anyway, it's up to me to control the outflow of information in this regard. Don't underestimate my ability to keep my mouth shut.

Li Nian understood the idea quickly. She sneered and didn't bother to care. She just assumed she understood and continued, "Okay, I don't intend to impose my ideas on others. You can be curious if you want, but I still have to remind you that you seem to think too much and take me too seriously. For example, you just said that you think I treat you as children playing house and that I regard your pursuit as worthless... Senior sister, is this really what you should say as a creator?"

Without waiting for Xia Zhiqiu to answer, Li Nian spoke himself.

"At least I can't put it into words. After all, I have always been proud of what I can write. If anyone dares to look down on me and say that his work is more noble than mine, and that my creation is just a child's play, I will slap him twice and give him a chance to reorganize his language."

Saying that writing is a child's play? This statement itself is a kind of contempt for Li Nian's life as a writer for more than 20 years.

"Senior, what you said really irritated me. I don't think there is any distinction between noble and humble professions. I never think that what I am doing now is more noble than anyone else's. Besides, I am just a writer. How could I have the kind of thoughts you mentioned?"

It seemed as if Kasumigaoka had a new understanding of Li Nian. She looked him up and down with strange eyes, and finally bowed her head and apologized honestly.

"I'm sorry, I said too much."

Li Nian was also stunned for a moment, and saw Xia Zhiqiu raise his head with a sly smile on his face.

"It turns out that I was right. A man who can write such a work really loves creation from the bottom of his heart... Then I feel more relieved. You are a man who can take responsibility for me."

She said that on purpose, seemingly just to hear Li Nian say that.

"Right, right, take responsibility for Senpai?! As expected, these two have already stepped onto the ladder of adulthood."

"Calm down Eriri, I know you've started going through the storyline in your head again."

But Sawamura only paid attention to the second half of the sentence. He didn't know what he was thinking about, his face turned red, and he seemed to be distracted and his brain short-circuited.

"You omitted the words on purpose, didn't you?" Li Nian confirmed once again that this seemingly elegant senior was actually a very naughty person, and said helplessly, "Of course I will be responsible for the work... but I haven't agreed to write the script yet."

"I know that was your initial attitude, but I can see that you are already wavering now... This Amaki-san seems to have said that the premise for you to talk is whether Sawamura-san and I agree to this project. Our attitudes are now very clear."

"As long as I agree, you will agree, right?"

"That's about it."

"That's the problem. You all gathered together because of me, which is strange because I was not the initiator of the project..."

As soon as Li Nian finished speaking, everyone turned their attention to An Yi. Of course, he also realized the problem, but he held his head high and accepted all the attention calmly. He put his hands together to support his chin, raised his fingers, and pushed his glasses. The lenses reflected a sharp light.

"Hehe, if you think I would be envious, jealous, hateful, or even disappointed because of this, then you are totally wrong! Now that things have come to this, I will tell you my true identity! That's right, I am the herbivorous male supporting role that is essential in every galgame! The value of my life is to provide dedicated assistance to my friends and protagonists for their beautiful and realistic lives, and I have played a very good role this time..."

Amai was not ashamed of it but rather proud of it, and did not notice at all that Kato and Gogen quietly moved their stools a little further away.

"Although your words sound very conscious and righteous, from my point of view, you are obviously selling me out for your own purposes."

"Don't say that. Look, isn't this a win-win situation for everyone? It's time to make your decision, Li Nian. We're just waiting for your affirmative answer, and then our great plan can enter the implementation stage!"

An Yi opened his arms and spoke in a very inflammatory and excited voice, and at the same time casually pulled Li Nian into the group of project initiators.

"No!"

"Why."

"No reason, because I, Li Nian, love to say no to self-righteous people like you."

"You can obviously say yes and no!" An Yi was a little upset and grabbed the table with his head again: "Why on earth!"

"Why don't you have any idea?"

"..."

An Yi fell into speechless silence for a moment.

"It seems that you still have some idea in your mind."

"Is it... a planning problem?" An Yi asked tentatively.

"Correct."

"What's the problem..."

"There are problems everywhere." Li Nian tapped the table with his fingertips and said seriously: "I, Kasumigaoka, Sawamura, no one is interested in your plan... This is not because your ideas are naive and immature, but because you have not come up with anything that can be called a plan so far. You just keep clamoring to make a galgame and gather a bunch of people to make a game, but in fact you don't even know what to make. Then what do Kasumigaoka and I know to write? What does Sawamura know to draw? An ambiguous idea is not a plan, and a loose collection is not a team. An Yi, you are the proposer of the plan, you can't be a supporting role, but you have to stand in the position of leadership, clarify your plan, and reorganize your team, but you haven't realized what a leader should do, and you haven't shown your ability and awareness. Who do you expect to believe in you?"

An Yi thought for a long time and was silent for a long time, and finally spoke softly.

"Give me a chance."

"what chance?"

"Give me a week and I'll give you the plan."

Chapter 187: Chatting with Kasumigaoka

"In the end, I agreed to it."

"Yeah, it feels like it's time to come to a conclusion."

Li Nian and Kasumigaoka were walking on the way to Sakurasou. This time, it wasn't that Kasumigaoka wanted to talk to Shiina about something, but it seemed that Kasumigaoka had something on her way home, so she caught up with Li Nian who was walking in front of her and kept pace with him without saying anything.

As for the previous negotiations, the results have already come out, and it ended with Aki's proposal to "submit a plan that satisfies everyone within seven days, otherwise the plan will be cancelled."

Or perhaps it was because just at that moment, Yukinoshita ran out from the Service Club next door, knocked on the door of their activity room, and asked them unhappily why they had been making so much noise from the beginning.

The reason, of course, is that An Yi always uses his head to grab the table.

When he made a request to Li Nian, he once again lowered his head with the momentum of grabbing the table, appearing to be extremely sincere, and came to a conclusion that was not a conclusion. Just then, Yukinoshita came over, and it was time to end the conversation. Li Nian took advantage of the situation and simply agreed, saying, "Then I won't wait for your plan in seven days." Then he got up and left, and everyone dispersed.

Xia Zhiqiu looked at Li Nian curiously and continued.

"You insisted on refusing, and no one could do anything to you, right? Now that you've relaxed, it means that even if we put the project aside, you've been persuaded by Amai-san, right?"

"Well, that's about right... I rejected Aki because I couldn't find anyone to annoy me, and I felt that no plan could be realized under this premise... But now that we can really find all the people, the plan may really be realized, so I have to face Aki's idea."

Yes, just as Kasumigaoka said, Li Nian had actually been persuaded and changed his mindset, no longer thinking about finding excuses to refuse.

Li Nian rejected An Yi at the beginning because he thought he was fooling around and that he could never really make anything decent. He said he was making games, but it was just a stupid daydream and he couldn't put together the team he wanted... But the fact is now that An Yi really brought Kasumigaoka and Sawamura over, and they really wanted to participate in the project. They also said that as long as he, Li Nian, agreed, they would also agree. As long as Li Nian was willing to join, the team would be formed.

The important scripts and original drawings have been gathered together, and the basic team to create a text adventure game has been formed, making the production of the game possible.

Moreover, Li Nian knew that although An Yi looked like a otaku, he was actually a very executive person. He would be passionate about things he liked and carry them through to the end. You know, the money this guy used to buy the novel figurines was all transferred by himself. As a producer, he was actually a suitable candidate...

All of this makes it possible to complete a game.

This is more convincing than anything else.

Li Nian hates fruitless efforts and doesn't want to waste time, energy and labor on just nonsense, so she is not optimistic about An Yi's idea of ​​making games.

But if it is really possible to produce results, he must take Aki's request seriously.

"Hehe... In that case, it seems I can look forward to working with you?"

"Not necessarily. There are still seven days left. Let's see what plan An Yi comes up with first."

"Didn't you say that it was something that could be easily taken out? It sounds like you don't mind what kind of plan he comes up with."

"The proposal is absolutely necessary. He is the one who proposed the plan and is the producer. He must point out a clear direction. The script, original painting, and music are all serving him. What does this mean? Senior sister should know. I want to ask you if you don't mind?"

"...Of course I mind. The boy's plan will become the core of the team. If he can't write something up to standard, I won't be satisfied. But in the worst-case scenario, can't we just write the plan?"

"..." Li Nian turned around and looked at Xia Zhiqiu but didn't interrupt.

"Isn't copywriting our specialty? I'm not bragging, but if I work hard, I can definitely write a plan that will make that young man applaud. You should also have this ability."

"Of course I believe in your ability, Kasumigaoka-senpai, and I can write a plan, but once our plans are put forward, it will no longer be the game that Amaki wants to make."

"What does it matter? That boy just wanted to gather us together on a whim. Although if we are the ones who propose the project, it is equivalent to giving the position of producer to one of us, which is a bit like usurping the throne, but as long as he is involved, he will probably be happy to do so."

"Well, it's true that Aki will nod happily and say "This is possible!" So maybe she will just nod."

"In that case, why don't we just write it so that we can better guarantee the quality?"

Li Nian shook his head: "So, that's not the game An Yi wanted to make."

He repeated the same words, and Kasumigaoka finally understood what he meant and frowned.

"…Is it important that this is Tomoya Aki's plan?"

"Of course it's important, because the team is built around him."

"…Are you serious about saying this?"

"I know what you are thinking, Senior Sister. Do you think you were able to gather this group of people because of me, Li Nian?"

"Is not it?"

"You're wrong." Li Nian shook her head: "It's true that you overestimate me, Senior Sister. Maybe it's because of me that you came here."

"Oh my~~ It sounds embarrassing. Why is this strange woman so persistent?"

Kasumigaoka covered her face and pretended to be shy.

It turns out that you still have self-awareness... Li Nian raised his eyebrows slightly, but ignored it and continued.

"But Sawamura-san is different. She agreed because of Aki."

Kasumigaoka put down his hands and said in confusion.
