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

"Seems like it's very cold..." Gogen looked around and muttered softly, wanting to find a blanket for this senior to cover herself with. Kato understood what he meant and ran to quietly search the cupboard.

But An Yi shook his head with an embarrassed look on his face: "Oh no, I don't think I brought a blanket or towel or anything like that..."

Li Nian smacked his lips slightly when he heard that, feeling a little bothered, but he took off his coat directly and threw it casually. However, he used just the right amount of force to swing the coat into the air and spread it out completely. It then landed on Kasumigaoka with unexpected lightness, covering her body as much as possible.

But the sleeping girl was still not satisfied. When she felt the loose shirt with Li Nian's body temperature covering her body, she sought the hard-earned warmth and grabbed the corner of the shirt without hesitation, wrapped it tighter around herself, and arched her body hard, twisting her body to find a more comfortable posture. In the end, she almost completely got into Li Nian's clothes.

Kasumigaoka is also a tall and plump girl, but compared with Li Nian, she is naturally several sizes smaller. Li Nian's top is enough to wrap her upper body tightly, and after all this, her ability to keep out the cold is naturally maximized.

But when Li Nian saw the small hands that were pulling the clothes hard and leaving marks, and the sleeves that were pinched under the girl's buttocks, he knew that the neatly arranged school uniform was about to have wrinkles that were difficult to deal with. He couldn't help but frown, and picked up two sofa pillows and threw them over. His original intention was to cover her pair of black silk legs that were exposed and made him, a boy, not know where to put his eyes. In the end, it was even more excessive. He was pinched between the legs of this senior sister and caressed, making him even more confused about where to look...

Is this guy such a bad sleeper...

Wu Geng stared at the dress that covered Li Nian on Kasumigaoka for a while, shook his head as if trying to get rid of some idea, and said softly, "You are sleeping so deeply... Senior sister, it seems like you didn't sleep well last night?"

"He is probably rushing to finish his manuscript. He has no time to write except at night." Li Nian said in a low voice.

“…That’s right.”

After hearing what Li Nian said, I felt that students had no other way to concentrate on writing, so I nodded in agreement.

Deliberately moving his eyes away from the girl's beautifully curved legs, Li Nian glanced at Kasumigaoka's expression and saw that her face had visibly relaxed, her breathing had become even, and she seemed to be feeling much better. Thinking there was no need to worry about it anymore, he stood up and raised his chin to signal everyone that everything was fine and they could go about their business. He then turned away from the sofa and walked towards the cabinet over there.

An Yi was relieved to see that her senior seemed to have slept much more comfortably. Seeing Li Nian looking for games, she realized that what he had just said about collecting materials for the script was not just a casual remark, but that he really intended to do so, so she hurried to follow him.

Just as An Yi said, those games were masterpieces that he brought specially and wanted to recommend to everyone. Naturally, he had played every route in every game more than eight or ten times and had a deep understanding of them. He was deeply moved and had long been eager to find someone to talk to. Now that he saw that Li Nian was interested, An Yi wanted to introduce them to him... But just as An Yi was about to speak, Li Nian stopped him with his hand without even looking at him, and warned him in advance.

"Spoilers, get out of here—"

Li Nian knew An Yi's character. This guy would chatter non-stop and give you spoilers while you were playing games. You had to shut him up.

As for games and the like, the discs are all here, and the equipment is complete, so everything is enough. Li Nian is not a primitive man, and the absence of An Yi is not a problem at all. It is better to say that having An Yi next to him is really a hindrance.

"Don't be so cold, my dear friend! Do you know how much I want to tell you about the beauty of these masterpieces?!"

"I only know that if you shut up and stop talking nonsense next to me, I will naturally appreciate the beauty of the work. But if you add explanations next to me from beginning to end, the touch I get will probably be at least halved."

"Ah, this person feels the same way." Next to him, Kato, who did not find the blanket from the cupboard as Amaki said, turned around and saw that Kasumigaoka was fine, so he gave up the search and walked towards the game console on the coffee table over there, leaving a message: "It's really uncomfortable to be found by Amaki during lunch break when I want to find a corner to watch the story quietly and cry secretly."

"Oh, Kato also understands it?"

"No, no, no! The reason why this masterpiece is called a masterpiece is of course the twists and turns of the plot! How can we deeply understand the beauty of it without explanation?" An Yi still argued.

Considering the conversation of the three people in Kasumigaoka who were still fast asleep, he consciously lowered his voice. However, when An Yi mentioned his favorite game, he was so excited that he could hardly suppress the tone of his voice. It seemed that he really didn't want to give up the stupid idea of ​​"explaining the beauty of the game to the newcomers!" Seeing this, Li Nian had to use his killer move.

"If you really want me to write a good script for our game, I sincerely ask you to shut up about spoilers when I'm playing the game seriously."

So not only did An Yi stop talking, she also made a cross with her hands and made an "x" gesture on her mouth, apparently she understood Li Nian's threat.

But his expression was quite lost.

Li Nian thought about it and finally relaxed: "But on the other hand, I am not someone who doesn't accept spoilers at all. I will still ask you some questions during the game."

An Yi was overjoyed and nodded quickly.

"Let me see what games they are." Li Niannian named several games in her hand: "Clannad, Rewrite, Ao no Nakata Quartet... They are indeed masterpieces that I know."

Chapter 290 What the Script Director Needs to Do

It’s not that Li Nian is always paying attention to the developments in the galgame field like An Yi, but the works she has on hand have all been adapted into animations and are more well-known.

At this time, Wu Geng walked over and saw the names of several games in Li Nian's hands. After a moment of stunnedness, he chuckled as if some memories were evoked.

"Hmph, let's admit that An Yi has a pretty good eye. The ones he picked out are all high-quality masterpieces."

It seemed that Wu Geng had also played them. From the way she nodded slightly, it was obvious that she also recognized the quality of these games.

Wu Geng turned and said to Li Nian.

"Indeed, I sincerely recommend you to play these games, especially Clannad. In terms of popularity, this work is the most famous, including the quality of the game itself and the animation adaptation. It is quite famous overseas and is called a masterpiece by many people."

"A genuine masterpiece!" As if proud of it, An Yi raised her head and chest and added this sentence with great pride.

"I know this without you telling me. It would be strange if I didn't know it. If you watch a little bit of anime, you must have heard of the name "Clannad". I am no exception. I have already watched the TV anime a long time ago."

Li Nian stared at the game disc of "Clannad" in his hand, his eyes somewhat solemn and serious. He, Li Nian, was not as ignorant as An Yi thought. On the contrary, he had a deep understanding of this work. He had watched both seasons of the TV animation, and also watched the theatrical version and OVA. Just speaking of the animation, it was indeed a very touching work. Even though it was produced more than ten years ago, the style of painting was too old to keep up with the times, but even so, it still had a beautiful look and feel that was not behind the times today.

There are countless praises for this work, and the work itself has a quality commensurate with the praise...but the focus now is not on how many honors it has won in the past or what kind of honors it has in the circle now, but to study the key [why] "Clannad" has become a popular "masterpiece".

That is not a hidden answer. On the contrary, for those who have watched both seasons of the animation, the "why" is obvious.

Because this work reflects the "depth of life" in a very rare way.

Although it is not as exaggerated as what is circulated online, to the extent that it can be regarded as a "life guide", in Li Nian's opinion, there is nothing special about the arrangement of the various plots of the animation. It's just that the handling of various details is not exaggerated, but just right and natural, so it can make people empathize with it in a very comfortable way, and be touched by the warmth in the softest part of their hearts.

"Just right."

This is simple to say, but it is the hardest to do, and therefore the most valuable.

It's true that Li Nian has seen the animation, but he has never played the game itself. Now that he suddenly has this opportunity, and also for the purpose of preparing for script writing, "Clannad" is a work worthy of careful study.

“Not to mention old masterpieces like “Clannd”, the other two…” Li Nian looked away.

"Ahem, this is a long story..."

An Yi cleared his throat and began to explain the script in detail to the script master with great interest.

"Then don't talk about it." Li Nianzhen was not interested in listening to his long speech: "When you play it, you will know the details. Anyway, I believe you all say it is a masterpiece, and I won't think it is bad when I play it. Anyway, all three games are set in campus, right?"

An Yi nodded rather disappointedly, but still replied to Li Nian: "That's right, after all, the script master you chose a campus-themed project."

“Then let’s go with these three.”

"Just these three? I actually have a lot more, why don't you try some more? There are other themes as well."

"Quality is more important than quantity - but if I'm not satisfied, I'll ask you for it again." Li Nian picked up the game disc of "Beyond the Azure": "I'll play this today."

An Yi and Wu Geng were quite surprised by Li Nian's choice.

"…Don't you want to choose Clannad? Even if I have to take a step back, I would recommend starting with Rewrite. I personally think it's a masterpiece that's not inferior to Clannad."

"I've said before that I'm familiar with these three games. I've watched the anime, not to mention Clannad. I know Rewrite is also a masterpiece from Key - so I know that these two works can no longer be considered galgames in the general sense."

Li Nian said as he inserted the CD into the CD-ROM drive and prepared to install the game on the computer.

"Compared to that, Aoi no Mita is more representative of the type of galgame you want to make, right? Using the daily campus as the stage, centering on club activities, and depicting the budding love between boys and girls, isn't this the kingly way of galgame? If you want to study it, of course you should start with more representative works."

"Oh...oh, what you said makes sense."

Wu Geng looked at Li Nian in surprise: "At first glance, it seems like you really want to study how to write a galgame script?"

"Otherwise, do you think I'm joking with you?"

Once you decide to do something, you have to do it well. Li Nian was not joking when he said he wanted to study GAL. He planned to carefully think about the specific writing method of the "game script" during the actual game. The purpose of playing games is to use it as a reference for the script he will write.

"...No, although I'm only saying it now, I just feel that the galgame script and your big and strong appearance are a bit incompatible in terms of painting style. Of course, the writing style seems to be the same?"

Li Nian pretended not to hear the personal attack, shrugged, and said with a smile, "Tsk tsk, that's how narrow-minded you are. An author should know a little bit of everything. Do you really think I can't write about love?"

"Tsk, how dare a mere virgin say that he can write about love?"

"Can you please stop pretending to be a virgin?" After the usual mutual insults, Li Nian nodded frankly and said, "But I'm really not good at writing about love, so isn't this to make up for my shortcomings and learn it well?"

"Just by playing a galgame, you can understand how to write about love?"

"Really." Li Nian said slowly with a playful smile: "Don't underestimate the academic master, little sister."

Wu Geng didn't believe that playing a galgame could make anyone learn how to write about a certain subject so easily. It was a bit outrageous according to common sense... But when he thought about how Li Nian was an out-of-character existence, his common sense was shaken. He snorted weakly and stopped arguing.

"Hmm~~~~~"

At this time, they heard a groan coming from the side. Everyone turned around and saw that it was Senior Kasumigaoka rubbing her eyes and propping herself up from the sofa.

They were talking in low voices, but it still seemed to wake her up.

"Sorry, senior, are we too loud to disturb your sweet dream?" An Yi apologized embarrassedly.

"Not really, it's just that I seemed to have heard the word "love" from some stupid guy's mouth, and I got startled... Haa ...

Although she obviously didn't get enough sleep and yawned, rubbing her eyes in pain, she seemed to be almost awake. She opened her eyes reluctantly, looked at Li Nian, and smiled lazily and tiredly: "What, did I hear it wrong?"

"You look so tired. You have the energy to get up and make fun of me. You should just lie down and sleep more."

"I'll get some sleep when I get home...By the way, are these your clothes?"

"Well, are you still cold?"

"It's a bit cold, so wrap it up for me for a while, and I'll return it to you later."

Having just woken up, Kasumigaoka does feel quite cold, so she is reluctant to leave the warmth of her clothes and sits curled up on the sofa, with her back against the sofa and her legs curled up. Now her whole body is wrapped tightly under Li Nian's clothes. She is awake, but doesn't seem to mind at all that these are another boy's clothes. Kasumigaoka even squinted her eyes slightly as if she was enjoying the warmth covering her whole body, and it seems like she is about to fall asleep again.

"Just wrap it up however you like. I don't mind. But how long did you finish your manuscript last night?"

"It was a little after five o'clock, and I finished writing the manuscript."

"Oh? It's already been completed? What did Ms. Machida say?"

"I've passed that part, so I can start writing the game script with you..."

"...Looking at your condition, how about you go back to sleep first and then talk about the script?"

"It's okay, I'll just sleep here for a while... just a little while... huh..."

An Yi was stunned and said, "...He actually fell asleep again."

Kato stared at the girl who leaned back on the sofa and closed her eyes and fell asleep again.

"You stayed up until five o'clock... You look really tired, but you still came to the club room. It seems that Kasumigaoka-senpai wants to start writing the script with you, Li Nian, as soon as possible."

“…It seems so.”

Li Nian responded calmly, as if he didn't feel anything. His eyes had already shifted to the computer screen. He opened the game "Ao no Tora", put on his headphones, and was about to start his game research.

Seeing him like that, An Yi hesitated for a moment, but did not really sit next to him to disturb him with the purpose of explaining to him. Instead, she sat on the other side to leave the script writer his own space.

Gogen and Kato each returned to their usual places and found their own things to do, some playing games, some writing manuscripts, no one chatted anymore, and the air became quiet.

Li Nian was able to be alone and quiet.

Although I opened the game for the purpose of research, all I actually did was to promote the gal plot.

To be honest, it would be a bit awkward if An Yi was still standing by. Although this guy's games are complete versions for all ages without any extraordinary elements, it still feels weird to push gals with someone.

Anyway, without An Yi's interruption, although it was a bit strange to play gal in such an environment with girls all around, it didn't affect much since no one was sitting next to her. In any case, Li Nian could concentrate on experiencing the game.

Speaking of promoting gals, Li Nian hasn't done it for quite a long time. Although his predecessor often borrowed games from An Yi, Li Nian himself has never borrowed games from An Yi. The reason is that on the one hand, he doesn't have much time, and on the other hand... he really has no interest in the all-age version.

But to say that Li Nian is a person who hates galgame is definitely not the case. He himself has taken the initiative to look for gals to play with in the past... although it was out of impure motives that all men understand.

However, although the motivation is not pure, after actually playing the game, one will still be gradually attracted by the plot involuntarily.

The so-called galgame is essentially a visual novel with a love theme. Compared with ordinary novels with only text, the game has a double impact of sound and picture. People can directly look at the beautiful girl portraits and listen to the sweet voice of professional voice actors telling you about their passionate love in real time, as if they were facing real people. The sense of immersion is very strong.

Once the sense of immersion is strong and the text is used, the emotions that can be aroused in people's hearts will be amplified a lot. When the emotions become intense, the work will leave a deeper impression on people.

The pursuit of creation is to be able to tell something to someone more vividly, and further leave a strong impression in someone's heart. The visual novel form can indeed do this better than text novels, so Li Nian is quite interested in this form of creation.

Having said that, he doesn't usually go out to play with gals.

After all, they are all scripts written by people, so there will be good and bad ones. Whether it is gal, light novel or animation, if it doesn't have some characteristics and writing style, it's really hard to read it. Li Nian really doesn't like works with the theme of "love". The reason is simple: she's tired of it.

But it is another matter if it is well-written and not boring to read.

For example, the game I’m playing now is called “Ao no Akana Quartet”, which was selected from the three games promoted by Aki. After playing it for a while, I feel it’s pretty good.

The story is set in an ordinary world where humans can fly freely in the sky, which is even easier than riding a bicycle. There is a popular sport called "Flying Circus". Hinata Akiya, a talented boy who was once regarded as the future star of the sport and was highly expected, chose to quietly leave the aerial competition due to an overwhelming defeat. However, after he met Asuka Kurashina who suddenly transferred to the school, his heart was rekindled with a burning feeling, and a love story about working hard to sway blood and release youthful sweat began.

In short, it follows the fixed formula of "the male protagonist who possesses special skills but hides himself for some reason meets a beautiful and energetic girl who transfers to the school."

Although the core setting of "Flying Circus" is very interesting, it alone is not enough to impress someone like Li Nian who has read countless books. The reason why he feels good is not because of how brilliant the plot arrangement is.

As I said, the strength of visual novels lies in audio and video, that is, the text is combined with "standing pictures CG" and "real-time dubbing" to give the audience a sense of immersion as if they were facing a real person.

The process of the game is to follow the male protagonist's first-person perspective, to see when, where, and under what circumstances he meets whom, and what kind of conversations and interactions he has. At this time, this comfortable viewing experience comes from watching the process of interaction between the male and female protagonists.

The location and scene will be directly expressed by the drawn background, the words spoken will be dubbed by the voice actors in real time, and the changes in emotions will be reflected in the character portraits in a timely manner, so everything combined will make it come alive.

However, this vivid scene initially depended on the imagination of the person who wrote the script.

In what kind of situation, who had what conversation with whom, wearing what kind of clothes and appearance, what kind of actions did they take, and how did their emotions change during this period.

There are painters for the backgrounds and characters, and voice actors for the dialogues, but what they should draw, say, and do all needs to be finalized in words first.
