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

Li Nian was stunned. She didn't expect that such a thing would spread to the third grade so quickly. "I'm sorry to make you laugh, senior. Who told you that?"

"From what Isayama said, she didn't seem to agree with you attacking ordinary people, as if she was worrying too much. But I heard that you did it to protect Gogen-san, so there's nothing to laugh at. On the contrary, I think it's understandable."

She looked at Gogen with a gentle gaze. Gogen snorted, feeling a little embarrassed to be mentioned by the respected senior, so she changed the subject.

"...Mr. Li, aren't you going to talk to senior about your classmate Amai's crappy game project script?"

"Gogen, I think as a member of the club you should still have some respect for the great plans that everyone is going to make," An Yi muttered.

After hearing what Gogen said, Kasumigaoka looked over.

Li Nian nodded and directly stated her plan: "I plan to start writing now. As we agreed before, I will be responsible for the outline."

Kasumigaoka nodded. It was agreed before that Li Nian would be responsible for the outline, complete the overall design of the whole story, and take on the construction work of story background, character setting, world view, etc.

Li Nian continued, "I will write out a few general story lines first, and then you can read them. Then you can choose the one that you feel is more interesting and pleasing to the eye. After deciding on the line, we can build the framework and fill in the details. We can discuss the specific details separately. So, what do you think of this arrangement now, Senior Kasumigaoka?"

"I have no objection, but I have one thing to remind you. According to what we agreed before, you, Li Nian, will be responsible for the outline. However, I have a point that I cannot compromise on, so you must not forget it."

Wu Geng gloated over Li Nian's misfortune and reminded her, "You have to use yourself as the prototype of the male protagonist and fantasize about developing romantic relationships with various women... Wow, I get goose bumps all over my body when I hear that."

Li Nian: “…”

An Yi imagined herself writing that kind of thing and felt ashamed and shuddered.

Kato, who had no history of writing novels due to his chuunibyou syndrome, couldn't understand why there was anything shameful about such a thing and tilted his head.

"What's the answer?" Senior Kasumigaoka asked again deliberately.

"...I know." Li Nian was so embarrassed that he gritted his teeth and immediately counterattacked: "I will be the male lead, but don't forget that the female lead is based on you. The main storyline to be written first is the love between you, Kasumigaoka Utaha and me?"

Wu Geng was stunned when he heard this, and then he remembered that there was such a thing. The senior student once said that she wanted to be the prototype of the heroine.

The male protagonist is based on Li Nian, and the female protagonist is based on senior Kasumigaoka. It is about the love between them.

Wu Geng had a strange feeling and pressed her chest. This was clearly a good opportunity to tease Li Nian, but she couldn't muster the energy to continue the topic.

Li Nian wanted to let Kasumigaoka experience this kind of shame, but the senior sister didn't feel embarrassed at all. She blinked her eyes and said, "Yes, is there anything wrong?"

"...Senior, don't you feel embarrassed? I think it's not too late to change now."

"Why would I be embarrassed? There's a handsome guy willing to write me a high-quality love letter. Which woman would hate this?" Kasumigaoka's eyes were mischievous. It was rare that she caught a topic that could make Li Nian a little confused. She didn't want to let Li Nian go at all, and deliberately added fuel to the fire: "If you don't know how to write the process of the hero and heroine falling in love, you can imagine it as confessing your love to me in person. If you study this, you might be able to write a great love story."

Kato suddenly understood the shame of this kind of thing and blushed.

Chapter 318: Woman, you are playing with fire!

"This is so embarrassing."

Kato covered his face, but couldn't help thinking that it would be quite romantic if someone really wrote him a love letter as thick as a book.

Moreover, she had read Li Nian's works and had longed for the kind of love between the male and female protagonists that naturally radiated and accumulated. Knowing Li Nian's strength as an author, she believed that she could really write this love letter-like script vividly.

She still felt a little yearning.

Li Nian sneered and said, "Senior sister, you should be responsible for this part."

"...What?" Kasumigaoka didn't understand what he meant for a moment.

Li Nian smiled sinisterly and said, "As the saying goes, everyone has their own expertise. As you can see, I am an old straight man and I am not very good at love affairs. But it's okay, you are good at it. Since you and I are writing together and have decided to divide the work, then of course you, who are good at this part, should write about it. Since you took the initiative to propose to write it like this, I would like to trouble you to think carefully about how to make the hero fall in love with the heroine - so you are the one who should think carefully about how to make me fall in love with you."

Kasumigaoka was stunned, and found that it seemed that this was the right division of labor. The man and woman switched offense and defense. She finally felt ashamed and blushed a little, but she still wanted to show her open-mindedness and habit of such things as a senior sister: "This seems to be a good idea. Let me, as a senior sister, show the mature side of the older sister and take the initiative to attack the juniors. I feel that this reverse push route is also quite popular."

"Well said. I'll take it as your agreement. Anyway, it's you who will write the details, not me."

Kasumigaoka was stunned and realized that she seemed to have said something wrong. She gritted her teeth, but this was the inevitable idea that came out of her insistence on using herself and Li Nian as the prototypes of the male and female protagonists of a galgame. There was really no reason to withdraw it. At this point, Kasumigaoka felt that she had to drag another collaborator into the water in order to feel a little psychologically balanced.

"…Although we agreed that each of us would be responsible for our expertise, it is impossible for you, Li Nian, to not even think about it. Since you are also an excellent author, you should know better than anyone that the advancement of emotions needs to be combined with the advancement of the story. If the story line and the emotional line are not perfectly combined, it cannot be considered a good work. Since you are responsible for constructing the main outline and determining the overall direction of the story, you must consider this aspect."

"Of course I know, but it doesn't matter. I won't feel so bad if you think about it with me, senior sister." Coincidentally, Li Nian also had the mentality of dying together with the shame and not being the only one in the group.

"Okay, I can only do it if I have a junior fellow student following me." Kasumigaoka also gave up.

"..."

"..."

The two looked at each other for a while, each realizing that they were being stupid, and looked away in embarrassment.

The people gathered on the other side were whispering.

"So why do they have to insist on doing something that both sides find quite shameful?" Kato muttered in confusion.

"Maybe this is called asking for trouble?" An Yi said in a low voice.

"But this development seems quite interesting." Sawamura looked left and right between Li Nian and Kasumigaoka, with an excited expression: "So now the situation has become a man and a woman confessing their feelings to each other? They are playing with fire! You should have seen a lot of similar plots of playing with fire and getting burned, right? The kind of pretending to be in love and actually falling in love? Do you think the current situation is similar?"

"No way, it shouldn't be that serious... Can you empathize with someone just by writing a story? Both of you are excellent writers, it's not like you would really put yourself in the shoes of the characters you wrote and then have some weird feelings sparked in the three-dimensional world, right?"

"A normal author wouldn't use himself as the protagonist from the beginning."

"Really?" An Yi was a little confused: "When I used to have a Chuunibyou syndrome and write my own delusional stories, I liked to make myself the protagonist."

"You can't distinguish between ideals and reality, and your unbridled fantasies will only make the viewers feel awkward and disgusted, so you, Renye, are a waste as a creator."

Sawamura, who was cursing Amaki, didn't notice who he had accidentally hurt. Gogen looked away embarrassedly and muttered quietly, "It's not like there aren't people like this..."

Amai was dissatisfied and said, "Yes, that's right, Eriri, you are totally prejudiced. Everyone has gone through this! Besides, there are also people who have truly written excellent works, such as... uh, Kasumi Shiko?"

Amai, who had just thought that senior Kasumigaoka would not be able to do what Sawamura said, now thought of Kasumigaoka Shiko's work "Love Metronome" first.

Sawamura nodded: "...Yes, most authors won't use their real selves as the protagonists...Even if they unconsciously put themselves into the story, they will consciously separate themselves. But Kasumigaoka-senpai is obviously not like that. She will consciously put herself into the story, deliberately starting from herself, and exploring the emotional changes."

Amai reacted and looked at Senior Kasumigaoka in confusion. He understood what Sawamura meant: "Indeed, Senior seems to be this type. She herself said that she is the kind of person who puts herself into her works. In her "Love Metronome"... there is indeed this feeling."

Yes, anyone who has read any of Kasumi Shiko’s works can feel that the heroine must be a representation of the author herself.

"Sayuka Ryunya, you still remember, everyone who saw the senior sister would understand that the long black hair must be her taking on her own role."

Anyone who has read the book would have this idea. Go was someone who had been to Kasumi Shiko's book signing event, and Kato was also introduced to the book "Love Metronome" by Aki, and they all had the same feeling for a while.

Now, An Yi looked at Li Nian and Kasumigaoka who turned their eyes away and dared not look at each other, and gradually understood Sawamura's mood at the moment. He narrowed his eyes and became excited: "...Is it a bit bad for you to say that?"

"Think about An Yi. Those of us who read books can see that Kasumi Shiko is the kind of empathetic author, and she's going to be the leading female character in this script."

Kato murmured, "This was also proposed by Kasumigaoka-senpai, so this is how she writes?"

"Yes, yes." Sawamura said excitedly: "She was the one who took the initiative to propose that Li Nian be the male lead. Do you think there is any…"

"…Just curious." Wu Geng interrupted her and said coldly: "The senior sister said it herself. She is just a little curious about the surname Li. It is the kind of curiosity that comes from observing strange creatures."

Sawamura glanced at her, clicked his tongue, wagged his finger, and said contemptuously: "Of course a gloomy guy like you doesn't understand that curiosity is the beginning of a girl's fall."

Wu Geng opened her mouth and wanted to refute, but she suddenly came to her senses and seemed to understand the process very well. She was speechless and shook her head vigorously. She said to herself fiercely in her heart: "Although I met this bitch out of curiosity, I didn't fall for her! I didn't!"

"Kasumi Shiko is really good at writing about love. Her delicate thoughts make even a girl like me feel excited!" Sawamura is getting more and more excited: "And in this script, the male protagonists she fantasizes about all have prototypes in reality, and she wants to confide her delicate love to them... This is so white, Amai! Super white, Amai!"

She looked at Li Nian with resentment in her eyes, biting down potato chips and drinking Coke: "I hate that I'm not a man. I also want to have a romantic relationship with my senior sister!"

An Yi was speechless. After being scolded by a high school girl, he really started to feel a little disappointed. "Eri, you are playing with fire when you say that... That's not right! Senior is right, but the other party is Li Nian. You have been with Li Nian for a long time. Senior is the type who can empathize with others, but he is not, right?"

"You're blind. All the male protagonists of Li Nian's works have that flavor, okay? In a sense, Mr. Muzi is the type of author who likes to use the protagonist to express his own ideas more than other authors." Sawamura looked at An Yi with disdain, thinking that he is obviously your best friend but you are the one who can't see clearly. "I didn't think it was necessary before, but after he revealed his identity as an exorcist, many things didn't seem right. How can the thinking circuit of this guy who claims to be an ordinary male high school student be like that of an ordinary male high school student? Now it seems that the different aspects of his outer world and the inner world are clearly reflected in what he wrote?"

After Sawamura said this, everyone fell silent, and it seemed like this was really the case.

Kato thought for a moment and said, "If Li Nian is also an empathetic type and is asked to use himself as the prototype of the male protagonist, it might be a problem for the game we make."

Everyone looked at her in confusion, not understanding why Kato would say that.

An Yi, who cared a lot about his company's great game project, was very nervous and immediately asked, "What do you mean? What's the problem?"

"Because you see, isn't Li Nian the type of person who is obviously not interested in love?"

Wu Geng's eyes lit up, and he immediately thought of Li Nian's various characteristics. He said sarcastically, "Kato is right! You know, a virgin can't be described as dull or wooden. He is a real straight man. Others think that I am a single dog and I am proud of it. I love myself more than I love others."

Everyone agreed.

Sawamura seemed to be poured with a bucket of cold water, and he calmed down a lot in an instant. When he looked at Li Nian again, his eyes were filled with pity: "Yes, he pointed at the two-dimensional paper figure and said that was his ideal woman. It's a pathetic thing. Not to mention in the script, in reality, he was teased by Senior Kasumigaoka like that and he didn't move at all..."

Kato continued, "And we want this kind of Li Nian to be the male protagonist of the galgame we are going to make?"

An Yi began to frown: "It seems inappropriate?"

In fact, they were whispering. Li Nianyou, who had excellent hearing, heard them and glanced at them unhappily, thinking that it was a bit too much for them to make up stories about him without saying anything here.

But during this period of time, Li Nian was silent and was indeed thinking about how to conceive the story based on the premise of fulfilling Senior Kasumigaoka's uncompromising persistence. Like Kato, he also discovered this unavoidable problem.

I want to create a male protagonist based on myself, and think about how to let such a protagonist conquer a female protagonist like Kasumigaoka-senpai?

Of course Li Nian knew what to do. It’s delusion, who doesn’t know how to do it?

I was just fantasizing about how I could hook up with the beautiful senior schoolmate...ah, this is so embarrassing, really so embarrassing.

Shame is one aspect

On the other hand, Li Nian really couldn't muster the enthusiasm.

He is not bragging, he has been a virgin for almost 24 years in his past and present lives. Most of his contemporaries have experienced several relationships, some are currently dating someone, and there are even a few poor people who have entered the marriage grave with mortgages, car loans and dowries. He has drunk at weddings and been a best man, but he has always insisted on being a noble single dog in his life, and he really enjoys it.

"This is indeed a problem." Senior Kasumigaoka also heard the whispers over there. After being pointed out by Kato, she also felt that it was a problem. She looked at Li Nian and asked seriously: "So why don't you want to have a relationship, Li Nian?"

This was not the first time that Kasumigaoka had asked Li Nian this question, either explicitly or implicitly. Li Nian always avoided the question and was too lazy to discuss it because he thought it was a stupid question.

But now he also wanted to think seriously about why.

Li Nian smiled and said, "Because I am so aloof, I have never been attracted to anyone."

Sawamura asked seriously, "Master Exorcist, will a woman affect the speed of your sword drawing?"

Li Nian also answered seriously: "Yes."

"Hahahahahahahahaha!" Sawamura was just joking, but it really made Li Nian laugh, and he was very happy for a moment.

No one else laughed. Wu Geng thought about it for a moment and asked seriously, "Do you think emotions are a burden and will slow you down in drawing your sword?"

Li Nian shook his head and smiled: "No, I just found out recently that being emotional can make me draw my sword faster, which is a good thing."

"Oh, you guys acted so seriously. Oh no, I didn't realize you guys have a talent for crosstalk... Oops... My stomach hurts from laughing... It really hurts." Sawamura was so happy that he ended up in sorrow. His stomach really hurt: "I think I drank too much ice cola..."

"You really deserve it." An Yi said disdainfully, turning around to boil water for tea: "I reminded you not to drink too much ice cola. Drink some hot water later to slow down."

"Never been moved? Why?" Kasumigaoka asked.

Li Nian himself was also looking back on his life as a single man, wondering why he had never been attracted to any girl.

Is it because I read too many online novels when I was young, and the budding of my self-awareness was damaged because I received too much information?

Is it because junior high and high school students are supposed to be sentimental at this age, but Li Nian finds such things troublesome. Apart from the pressure of studying, his mind is filled with only second-year fantasies. Apart from studying, all he thinks about is writing and games. Doesn't he notice the beauty of girls?

Is it because he got sick in college and didn't want to be a burden to anyone? Or is it because he is a free online writer who doesn't leave his house and barely talks to girls all year round?

Is it because you think it’s good to be alone, do whatever you want, and don’t want to share your time with others?

Seeing Li Nian's thoughtful expression, Xia Zhiqiu smiled but did not ask. She only said, "Reality may not need logic, but the script does. It needs to make people understand what a character is like and why he becomes like this."

What this means is that he should write his own experiences and thoughts into the script and use the [lead actor] to express them.

"So what, senior sister? After all, it seems like you haven't answered this question seriously. You know how to reciprocate, right?"

"Maybe the reason is the same as yours."

"So you're too embarrassed to say it, and you plan to write it into the script?"

"……Yes."

Li Nian sighed, and really began to feel that something was wrong, so he asked one last time: "It's not too late to get rid of this meaningless persistence, so that everyone can feel better."

"Being comfortable won't make a writer write good things," Kasumigaoka still didn't want to take back his promise, and said provocatively, "Why, a great writer would think that just writing a game script for a character would make you really emotional? To the point that you're shaken and gradually start to go against the way of survival of a single noble? It doesn't matter, if you really don't know how to be emotional to a girl, I can teach you."

"Of course not. Senior should be the one worrying about whether or not he's letting himself fall into unnecessary delusions."

The two sneered at each other for a while, and Kasumigaoka said, "I think I suddenly thought of a very interesting love story."

"What a coincidence, me too."

"Tell me?"

"A love battle between a man and a woman?"

"Ah, it's rare that we two can reach a consensus."

"Senior, you are playing with fire, be careful not to burn yourself."

"Each each other."
