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

Senior Ren clapped his hands: "As expected of Li Nian, this is truly something that no human can do."

"…Ordinary people can't be like you. Are all exorcists monsters like you? But I saw that Isayama-senpai was so tired that she lay dead on the bed. It seems that office workers have a hard time. They don't seem to be as good as you say."

"She is she, and I am me." Li Nian hesitated for a moment before saying, "Maybe I am a little bit stronger than her?"

"Oh, so you are the only one among the special group of exorcists who is a monster?"

"What kind of monster is that? That's so ugly. Please call me a perfect human! This body is formed in a special way. It's probably the only one of its kind."

"Did the Stone Mask and the Philosopher's Stone from somewhere transform your body?"

"…I'm surprised you understand this, Sawamura? I heard from Amaki that you only watch cute anime."

"I was forced to finish watching all the Jojo series by Ren Ye... Although I was reluctant at the beginning, I found it hard to watch the animation style with no cute girls and only hardcore muscular men, but I still found it surprisingly exciting as I kept watching... No, let's not go off topic again. Well, if it's a monster like this, I can only reluctantly admit that you have indeed entered a new stage. It's really a waste of your talent for a perfect human like you to be a light novel coding machine writer."

"What can it be used for so as not to go too far?" Li Nian asked curiously.

"To be a villain who conquers the world, or a decent person who saves the world?"

"I'm not interested in the former, but I do have a chance in the latter. Besides, being a villain boss or a savior hero is not as comfortable as being an ordinary person. Being busy all day is not as good as a peaceful life of eating and sleeping comfortably. Fighting and killing is not as happy as drinking tea, listening to music, and writing happily..."

"It's rare that I share the same feelings as you." Sawamura patted Li Nian's shoulder inexplicably happily: "Looking at your thoughts, isn't it obvious that you have the potential to become an excellent slacker? Why not give up your work more thoroughly? After you become completely evil, you will get greater happiness!"

"Teacher Kashiwagi, are you corrupting my excellent authors?" Ms. Machida said with a smile, "Teacher Muzi, the sooner the better. We should mentally transform Teacher Kashiwagi now to avoid the possibility of delaying our manuscripts."

"I'm so sorry! I got carried away again."

"Hey, can't Mr. Kashiwagi learn from Mr. Muzi?" Machida, who knew that Sawamura would not repent even though he apologized, sighed in annoyance: "If you could learn a little bit of self-awareness like Mr. Muzi, you probably wouldn't be so painful in your creation."

"It appeared. This line of 'Why don't you learn from other people's children' appeared." Sawamura said dissatisfiedly: "Ms. Machida also heard what this guy said about himself, right? Is that something that ordinary people can learn?"

"Ordinary people can also maintain good physical strength and energy by exercising and eating regularly." Machida said seriously: "After giving up interests like games and comics, Mr. Kashiwagi will definitely be more focused."

"That's a fair point! But I can't do it! You might as well kill me if you want me to live such a boring life."

Li Nian said indifferently: "It's hard to persuade the damned ghost with kind words, just give up, Ms. Machida."

"Don't make it sound like I'm hopeless! After all, isn't Kashiwagi Eri's great reputation in the industry enough to prove my ability and hard work? As for other than that, it's my freedom to live my private life however I want!"

"Only if you don't delay the submission of manuscripts." Ms. Machida did give up the unrealistic and stupid idea of ​​persuading Sawamura to change his character, and instead threatened directly: "Before the deadline, Mr. Kashiwagi, you are a free writer, and you are free to live your private life as you wish. But after the deadline, your private life will no longer be up to you, Mr. Kashiwagi."

"…What are you going to do?" Sawamura was scared. "I'm warning you, there are laws in this world!"

Ms. Machida smiled without saying anything. She turned to Li Nian and asked about something she had been curious about.

"By the way, what's the matter with that Amaki-san script you guys keep talking about?"

"Oh, I just agreed to write something for a friend of mine..." Li Nian understood what Ms. Machida was worried about, and said directly: "Don't worry, this won't affect the progress of the manuscript that Phoenix Library needs me to write."

"...That's it."

Although it was not a reassuring thing for an author under his own library to write someone else's script, Li Nian did not seem like someone whose writing progress would be affected. Miss Machida thought he just wanted to make some extra money and was about to stop asking, but then Sawamura said, "Oh, yeah, Miss Machida is here and I remembered that about Aki's script, you as a coder don't have to worry about affecting the progress of the manuscript, but is Senior Kasumigaoka really okay?"

Ms. Machida asked in confusion, "What does that Aki-san's script and poem have to do with Kasumi Shiko, an author under my library?"

"Eh, didn't Ms. Machida know?" Sawamura thought that this editor, who was also in charge of Kasumigaoka, had heard from Senior Kasumigaoka that she was also involved in the script of Aki. Now it seems that she didn't: "It's that Senior Kasumigaoka also wants to help write the script."

"This is the first time I've heard of this..." Ms. Machida narrowed her eyes: "Oh... Forget about Teacher Muzi, but Xiaoshi actually thinks she has the energy to write scripts for others..."

"She doesn't have any?" Li Nian frowned. "I heard that Senior Kasumigaoka has finished her manuscript. She should be quite free."

"Yes, Love Metronome has entered the final stage - but she has submitted a new book plan, which has been approved by the editorial meeting, and she should start writing an important new book and new volume."

Chapter 350: Crisis is resolved by mutual commercial promotion

Does Kasumigaoka have a new book project? Or has it been approved by the editorial meeting? Have you entered the stage of writing a new volume and preparing for publication?

It was the first time for Li Nian and Sawamura to hear about this, as they had never received such news from Kasumigaoka.

But on second thought, the two looked at each other and saw a kind of understanding in each other's eyes.

It's normal for a writer who has finished writing an old book to start thinking about a new work. The popularity of the writer Kasumigashima Shiko is on the rise due to the comic adaptation project she is working on with Shiina, and it's smart to strike while the iron is hot. Kasumigaoka herself is a passionate and cutting-edge author who has a lot of things she wants to write, so it's not surprising that she starts preparing for her next book right after the old book is finished.

It’s just that the fact that the plan has been approved by the editorial department is a little surprising...that’s all.

Light novels are published in the process of physical books, unlike online novels, which can be written however you want and published whenever you want. If you want to obtain publishing qualifications from the library, you must get the library's recognition and help. Therefore, if a light novel writer wants to start a new book, he must first complete the corresponding plan and show his writing expectations to the editorial department, so that they can have a wait-and-see attitude towards the content and then decide whether to approve it. If the plan is not optimistic, it will be rejected and sent back, and it is common to ask for rewriting or cutting and redoing the work - but both Li Nian and Sawamura feel that with the ability of the senior sister, it is not difficult to write an excellent plan that can be approved.

However, since they are about to start writing a new book and volume, the game script that Kasumigaoka is collaborating on with Li Nian will inevitably affect each other as the two things are on the same schedule.

Ms. Machida certainly trusts the authors under her command...but this trust is by no means blind. She observes every aspect of Li Nian and Kasumigaoka more carefully than anyone else, and has an estimate of their abilities.

Li Nian is an extremely efficient, powerful writer who is good at typing. Machida believes that he has the ability to write both the game script and the sequel to "Magic Contract". But Machida is not optimistic about whether Kasumigaoka has this ability.

At this moment, she narrowed her eyes slightly. She was not as relieved as she was with Li Nian about the fact that Xia Shizi had also accepted the game script of An Yi. Instead, she had some thoughts: "Xiao Shizi is also distracted by doing other things... I have to ask about this."

The attitude that seemed like he was ready to hold someone accountable in order to stop it made Sawamura nervous all of a sudden.

In other words, if the editor knew about this, it might lead to Machida editor asking Kasumigaoka-senpai to withdraw from the project on the grounds that "Kasumigaoka needs to focus on writing a new work"...

And this seems to be because of Sawamura's words, saying that Machida-san didn't know that Kasumigaoka was also writing the game script...

Sawamura panicked immediately, realizing that if it really came to that, it would be her childhood friend who would backstab Aki...

Although when he quarreled with Amaki, Sawamura always mocked this guy's dreams in various ways, saying that his ideas were unrealistic, that the result would inevitably fail, that it would be very troublesome to drag others along with him, that it was not sincere to get something for nothing, and that he was just stabbing people in the sore spot and hurting them, and he spared no effort in complaining - but Sawamura never wanted to really make Amaki's dream come to nothing and lose the script writer Kasumigaoka.

Sawamura quickly made up for his slip of the tongue, "No, it's okay. I'm just juggling game scripts and novel writing. Aren't these both writing jobs that Kasumigaoka-senpai is good at? If Li Nian can do it, then Kasumigaoka-senpai, who is as good as her, can certainly do it too, so don't worry."

"No, I'm worried." Machida answered while thinking, "Unlike Muzi, who plans first and then does things, and steadily advances the writing process step by step, Xiaoshi is another type of author who relies more on inspiration and emotions and is easily affected by various things. Not being able to focus on one thing will inevitably affect her writing of new works."

It's over, this means we have to hold them accountable and stop it. Cold sweat broke out on Sawamura's forehead and he hurriedly winked at Li Nian, hoping that he would make amends.

Li Nian naturally noticed it and understood what Ms. Machida meant by that. However, she looked quite calm and even agreed with Ms. Machida's concerns: "That must have had an impact."

What are you talking about, this guy, isn't this the place to deny?! Sawamura yelled in his heart.

"As expected, Teacher Muzi, who is very close to Xiaoshi, also thinks so?" Machida looked at Li Nian.

"Is she close to the senior? I can't say... But I think I can see what kind of person she is. I think I agree with your opinion, Ms. Machida. She looks calm and dignified on the surface, but she actually has a lot of thoughts behind her back. She is easily moved and easily affected by her thoughts and emotions at the moment. Girls of this age are actually like this. It's normal to be a little sentimental. Kasumigaoka-senpai is no exception."

"You call me Senior Xiao Shi, but you treat me like a child... Well, that's probably right, so I think if she, who is just starting a new book, writes the game script for Aki-san, will it have a negative impact on each other..."

Ms. Machida asked Li Nian with a tentative tone, but the implication was that Kasumigaoka should not take care of both sides.

What do you want to do by agreeing with Ms. Machida, you idiot? Doesn't this make others more certain that they should stop the senior from participating in the creation of the script? ! Sawamura didn't expect Li Nian to be more of a hindrance, and cursed in her heart. She was about to bite the bullet and quickly explain more for Kasumigaoka, but she saw Li Nian shaking his head and continued to talk to Ms. Machida.

"It is certain that there will be an impact, but it may not be the bad impact that you are worried about, Ms. Machida."

"Oh? Do you think it will be a good influence? Do you think Xiaoshi can take care of the script and new work writing at the same time and still produce better quality?"

"Yes."

"...Mr. Muzi, you are an excellent author and have the ability to do both. But if you think that a newcomer who just debuted can do the same as you, it's a bit too idealistic."

"I'm a new writer who is much newer than her... I understand what you mean, Ms. Machida. I know that ordinary people can't do what I do."

"Even so, do you still think Xiaoshi's new work will not be negatively affected by the other script?"

Li Nian did not answer, but only asked: "Ms. Machida is worried that Senior Kasumigaoka will not be able to concentrate on writing the new work, resulting in a decline in quality, or because her schedule is too tight, she will not be able to write the manuscript in time, resulting in a delay, right?"

"exactly."

"That's because Ms. Machida looks down on Kasumigaoka-senpai. Unlike someone who always puts the work aside after taking it, and takes the opportunity to slack off when the deadline is not coming, Kasumigaoka-senpai is a very self-conscious author. She will work hard when she has time in the day. She is not like someone who always complains that she has no passion and motivation. She is a girl who is in the mood for writing, has a strong desire to express herself, and has all kinds of ideas that she wants to write into stories. So far, has Kasumigaoka-senpai ever made you worry about the delay in submission?"

Do you think I don't know who you are referring to when you say that sarcastic thing? Who are you glancing at? Sawamura was so angry that her teeth were itching, but now she needed a negative example to support Kasumigaoka's ability. It was also caused by her slip of the tongue, so she endured it.

Ms. Machida also glanced at [someone]. Indeed, after making such a comparison, she felt that what Li Nian said made a lot more sense - as the editor-in-chief of Kasumigaoka, she did not need outsiders to tell her about Kasumigao Shiko's passion and hard work in writing.

"Indeed, Xiaoshi doesn't have to worry about the delay, but if you don't focus on one work, the quality of the new work..."

"It was because of me that Senior decided to join my friend's game project and wanted to co-write the script with me."

Ms. Machida's eyes lit up: "Huh? Xiaoshi is so proactive in pursuing a man?"

"Don't say stupid things, Ms. Machida... I mean, the motivation for the senior to do this is just to learn something from me. Not only can you see that she and I are different types of authors, she is also aware of it and wants to change. She seeks cooperation with me for this reason. The purpose is probably to learn some of my creative skills and ideas in the process. The deeper purpose is definitely to grow herself. During this joint script period, I will show her without reservation. I don't know what ideas she can absorb and what kind of changes she has made, but I am sure that it will be good for the author Kasumi Shiko and will make her progress-reflected in the new work, that will certainly be a good influence."

"So that's your motive... I was wondering why Xiao Shi suddenly went to write a game script..." Machida thought for a moment and said simply, "Well, now that you've said that, I have no reason to stop you."

Sawamura breathed a sigh of relief. Li Nian was still reliable. He made up a lot of excuses and she believed them all. In short, the crisis was averted. There was no need to worry that Senior Kasumigaoka would come to the club tomorrow to announce her withdrawal from the club, resulting in her not being able to see her favorite author in a few days... Yes, it was not because of Amaki's idiotic plan, but because she didn't want to lose the opportunity to come into contact with her idol author!

"As a result, two of my excellent authors have to write the script for Amaki-san while they are writing their own... I trust you, but don't let it affect the quality of your work. If it doesn't pass my test, I will reject it without hesitation." Although she agreed not to ask, Miss Machida still gave them a warning.

"Of course." Li Nian answered decisively.

"You can also tell Xiao Shi about this... However, he quietly tricked two of my authors into writing game scripts for him. I'm beginning to wonder who that Amai-san is."

Sawamura got excited when he heard this and sneered, "Don't be curious, you will be disappointed. Ms. Machida, you probably think that he is a genius producer on the same level as Li Nian and Kasumigaoka. In fact, that guy just got the production team together through fraud and deception, and everyone gathered around him because of their friendship."

"Cheating is a necessary quality for a producer. Being able to ask talented people to work for him because of friendship is a reflection of having connections." Ms. Machida said with a smile: "Now that you mentioned it, Mr. Kashiwagi, I want to meet that Aki-san even more - as long as I have contact with Mr. Muzi, I will surely get to see her true face one day."

"What's so good about meeting a guy like Renye..." Sawamura didn't care.

"Okay, I've gained a lot today, and I also have a lot of things to digest and prepare, so I'll leave first." Ms. Machida stood up.

Li Nian quickly tried to persuade him to stay: "Why don't you have dinner first?"

"Although I want to see if your cooking skills are that good, Teacher Muzi, I have another author to find." Ms. Machida had no intention of staying and said lightly, "How dare you lose contact before the deadline, hehe..."

Everyone who had sensed the murderous intent fell silent, and the air became quiet for a moment.

"I'm leaving now. No need to see me off."

After Ms. Machida finished speaking, she left with a chill.

"I'm hungry." Shiina, still feeling nothing, immediately said the same thing for the nth time.

"Okay, okay, I'll make it now." Li Nian stood up and prepared to go to the kitchen, while casually asking, "Is Sawamura eating here too?"

"I'll just obey your command..." Sawamura wanted to chat with Kamiigusa again. He thought this was a rare opportunity and even wanted to stay overnight. However, he looked at Li Nian with curiosity, "And I'm also curious whether you can really make glowing dishes? Let me see it for myself?"

"I will prepare a dazzling meal for you today."

Qingshan stood up quickly: "There are a lot of people here today, I'll help..."

Kanda pulled her to sit down: "Don't make things worse. Haven't you seen how that person cooks?"

When Li Nian cooks, the pots, pans, and utensils are all endowed with spirituality, and they move together in an orderly manner like an army. More people do not mean extra hands, but more burdens.

Li Nian often cooks for everyone, Qingshan has seen it before, and thinking of that scene, he sat down awkwardly: "It seems that classmate Li Nian doesn't need anyone's help in the kitchen...but are there enough ingredients?"

Li Nianshi threw a wallet back without even looking back, landing accurately in front of Qingshan and Kanda: "It's not enough, help buy some vegetables."

"Yes, sir." Qingshan was happy to be able to help. He took a casual look at the wallet and was hurt by the full "Fukuzawa Yukichi" notes. He didn't dare to look at it directly, for fear of remembering the miserable state of his empty wallet. He quickly closed the wallet and ran to buy things.

"I'm going too." Kanda followed.

There was no need for more people to help, so the others just chatted, joked, ate, drank and had fun in the living room. After Kanda and Aoyama bought some things and threw them to Li Nian's kitchen, they also joined in. They were all young people of the same generation, and they had already known each other when they were discussing business at the table before. Now that they were done with the business and had some free time, they were no longer restrained and quickly became familiar with each other.

After sleeping for an hour, I woke up with a throbbing pain in the back of my head. I sat in front of the computer and my brain froze, staring at the screen in a daze. It felt like every cell in my body was resisting the act of typing.

Emm... Although I am in this state for 300 days a year, it’s just a little more serious today.

After thinking about it, my life is more important, so I’ll take a nap first.

The goal is! From tomorrow on, resume your normal routine, go to bed early and get up early, exercise well, control your diet, refuse to practice immortality, prolong your life and maintain your condition!

…The sense of déjà vu seems a bit strong, it must be my illusion.

—That day, humans recalled the fear of the next chapter that could not come, and the shame of being grunted by dogs in pain.

Chapter 351: Sawamura is puzzled by Mitaka Jin

Although Sawamura had a very happy chat with Kamiigusa and was very proactive in wanting to get to know Kamiigusa, Kamiigusa himself was a passionate person. Even when asked questions by Sawamura, whom he didn't know before, he basically answered everything he knew. He would talk about things that should and shouldn't be said according to common sense, like a bamboo tube pouring beans. In short, he was a very talkative person, so there would be no shortage of topics to chat with Sawamura.

But after talking for a long time, Sawamura gradually found it difficult to keep up with the senior's jumping logic.

It was fine when they were talking about business before, and Shang Jingcao would occasionally make some off-line remarks, but basically the conversation was advancing around the personalities of the characters in Li Nian's work "Magic Covenant". Li Nian would often remind her and force Shang Jingcao to focus on business, but after the business was over and Li Nian was not there, they were just chatting casually, and Shang Jingcao's off-line side was revealed vividly.

For example, when they were talking about painting skills, Kami Igusa would suddenly jump to the recent heavy reality event of the outbreak of the Middle East war and the deterioration of the situation without warning, and then ask Sawamura what he thought about it.

Sawamura was stunned for a long time, and finally changed his thoughts. After he forced himself to chat with her about this, the senior student was suddenly attracted by the program on TV. She immediately interrupted the topic, ran to the TV and shouted with shining eyes, "It's Kumamon!" It turned out that her attention was not attracted by the program, but by the staff member standing in the corner wearing doll costume.

Sawamura was stunned for a moment, thinking that she liked the cute image of Kumamon, and agreed with a smile: "Yes, yes, it feels so cute...", and Ueigusa looked at her like a fool again: "Cute? I can't tell! I just think it must feel good to hit her!"

Just like that, it became increasingly difficult for Sawamura to continue having a smooth conversation with Misaki... Although out of respect for Kamiigusa, Sawamura desperately racked her brains, trying to keep up with Kamiigusa's rhythm. There would be no problem in continuing the awkward conversation like this, but the only one who was becoming increasingly embarrassed was Sawamura, while Kamiigusa was not embarrassed at all.

After a long time, Sawamura finally got tired.

But at this time, she found it difficult to escape from Shangjingcao's entanglement.

Normally, no one would want to chat with Kamiigusa. Even the people in Sakurasou who were most familiar with Kamiigusa were trying their best to avoid long conversations with this alien, for fear that it would become an endless conversation.
