"…Why is Li Nian in my room?!"
"...You should ask this question before you throw a punch." Li Nian touched his aching nose and reminded helplessly: "Qingshan, calm down and take a closer look at the situation first."
"Of course I know about this kind of thing! You sneaked into someone's room...ah, eh?"
Aoyama finally noticed the difference between her surroundings and her room, and after looking around, she realized that this was the living room, with a blanket draped over her shoulders.
"Could it be..."
"Yes, you fell asleep in the living room."
"......! I, this!" Qingshan kept bowing and apologizing, suddenly becoming at a loss and panicking: "I'm sorry! I, I didn't mean to hit you, then, then... are you okay?"
"I have thick skin and flesh, so the injury is only at the level of hp-1. It's okay, it doesn't matter." Li Nian waved his hand. He had high defense, so apart from a little pain, he was fine. He knew Qingshan was just reacting to an emergency, so he didn't bother to blame him, but he still reminded him, "But if someone else got hit by that punch, their nose would collapse. I hope you'll be more careful next time and not be so murderous."
"I'm very sorry!" Qingshan bowed suddenly.
"So it doesn't matter... Anyway, just wipe this place first." Li Nian nodded.
"Huh?" Qingshan stood up straight, and subconsciously reached out to wipe the corner of his mouth. The back of his hand was wet, and he immediately realized that the boy had seen him in a sleepy state. His face turned red, and he turned around and wiped the corner of his mouth hard.
"I'm glad you're awake. Leave the blanket there and I'll take it back later. Go back to your room and sleep."
Li Nian ignored her and walked towards the refrigerator.
Qingshan put down the blanket. Knowing that it was Li Nian who brought it for her, she said thank you shyly. She checked the time and exclaimed in astonishment: "Did I sleep until three o'clock…"
Li Nian was looking for something in the refrigerator and said casually, "You can still go back and get some sleep."
"…Because I got so scared, I feel so excited that I can't seem to fall asleep."
"Really? Want something to eat, then?"
Qingshan shook his head: "That would make it even harder to sleep... Sorry, I don't have the habit of having midnight snacks."
"It's a good habit. After all, it's not good for the stomach."
As he said this, Li Nian found some cup noodles and rice balls and returned to the table. Qingshan stared blankly at this person who was obviously planning to feast on the food.
"After eating so much, will you be able to sleep later, Li Nian?"
"I'm not going to sleep."
"what?"
"Because I have to go out for something later."
"Go out now? But..."
Li Nian didn't want to say much. She poured hot water into the cup of noodles, covered it, pressed it with chopsticks, then pointed at the script on the table and asked with a smile, "What is that?"
"Huh? Oh, this is a script. There's a mid-term presentation for the training class on the 21st. This is needed for the performance that day."
"Is it an animation?" Li Nian asked with interest. When he mentioned voice actors, he thought of that.
"No, it's a normal play...it's acting."
"Oh~~? Voice actors also need to act?"
"Rather than saying 'also', I'm basically learning how to act."
"Strange, shouldn't it be mainly about practicing dubbing?"
"I've only practiced acting in front of a microphone once before, right? Our training class focuses on the basics of acting, and it's the same principle as training actors. We also have singing and dancing classes."
“…It feels a bit like putting the cart before the horse.”
"Ahahahaha...because these days voice actors' jobs are more than just dubbing."
"That's true... So, is that press conference important?"
"I don't know. The audition to decide whether or not you can enter the agency is in February, and the people who judge it are different... But my agent will come to watch the press conference, it should be very important, so I am preparing seriously now."
Li Nian thought to himself, if that's the case, isn't it a bit suicidal for you to take on the job of taking care of Shiina... But knowing that pointing it out here would only cause resentment, he didn't say anything and just smiled.
"Hmm... Really? Come on then."
"Thank you."
"My cup noodles should be ready."
Qingshan looked at Li Nian who opened the instant noodles and still didn't want to go back. He thought about the topic that Li Nian had diverted before.
"Well, as I said before, you were going out so late..."
——“Ding Dong.”
The doorbell suddenly rang.
Chapter 104 The So-called Industry
After a brief ring, the doorbell faded away and never rang again, as if it was just an accident.
"Knocking on the door in the middle of the night?"
Qingshan showed a look of astonishment.
Li Nian was not surprised. He looked down at the cup noodles he had not yet started eating, sighed, and put down his chopsticks.
"So fast..."
"I gonna go see."
Qingshan suspected that it was a petty theft with ulterior motives, so she stood up with caution and was about to check out the situation, but Li Nian stood up before her.
"They should be here to find me. I'll just go."
He walked past Qingshan and headed towards the entrance.
"Looking for you?"
Qingshan was stunned, but still worried about something happening, so he followed with suspicion.
When she reached the entrance, Li Nian opened the door directly.
Seeing the huge figure standing outside the door, his eyebrows couldn't help but twitch twice.
Standing there quietly was a man as tall as a bear. His angular face, as if chiseled by a knife, showed determination, thick eyebrows and big eyes. There was a scar on the corner of his eye that was particularly conspicuous, making his face look very ferocious. However, he wrapped his body under a neat suit, and the clothes seemed tight because of his muscles. He gave people a fierce but rigorous feeling. At first glance, he looked like a dangerous person engaged in some high-risk industry.
Li Nian never expected that such a strange person would come. He was just picking her up. What kind of driver did they send to pick her up?
After meeting Li Nian, the man looked at Li Nian carefully for a while, then asked him in a deep and heavy voice: "Are you Mr. Li Nian?"
"……I am."
After confirming Li Nian's identity, the man nodded, bowed to Li Nian, and respectfully introduced himself: "Hello Mr. Li, it's our first meeting. I am Iwata Koji, and I am Yin Yang..."
"Ok, I understand. Stop talking." Li Nian interrupted him immediately and turned to look behind him. Aoyama poked his head out of the corridor and was staring in amazement at the man outside the door who called himself Iwata Koji.
"The underworld...?"
I feel the same way.
Li Nian smacked his lips slightly, knowing that once this man showed up, he had one more thing that was difficult to explain. He looked at a black car parked quietly outside and pointed at it: "Is that the car?"
"Yes."
"Well, Mr. Iwata, huh? Please get in the car and wait for me. Give me three more minutes."
Yan Duan glanced at the girl behind Li Nian, revealed a look of understanding, replied "I understand," and turned back to the car.
Li Nian also turned around and went back to the living room, and Qingshan hurriedly followed.
"Student Li Nian, who is that evil-looking man? Why is he being so respectful to you?"
I want to ask these questions too... Li Nian thought, but answered without hesitation: "We are just colleagues at work."
"colleague……"
"He just looks a bit fierce. Don't think too much about it. He is not a gangster or not. He is a man with a decent job."
Li Nian's nonsense was not without basis. After all, he was sent by the Yin-Yang Department to pick him up. Since he was a relevant staff member, he thought his resume should be clean... Maybe clean? Li Nian himself didn't really believe it.
Qingshan didn't seem to believe it and looked at Li Nian suspiciously.
"You said before that you found a very good job. Could it be that..."
"Don't worry, it has nothing to do with the underworld. It's a very serious job."
"What exactly is it?" Qingshan wanted to get to the bottom of it.
"save the world."
"What are you talking about..."
"It's just a normal job like that."
"I don't hear anything serious about it at all!"
Li Nian returned to the living room, opened the instant noodles and gobbled them up in a few mouthfuls, picked up the rice ball and a bottle of water and walked out, leaving behind this sentence.
"It's okay with me, you should go back and have some rest."
Hearing that Li Nian didn't want to talk more, Qingshan fell silent and watched Li Nian leave without asking any more questions. It was not until she heard the door closing at the entrance that she muttered something.
"What a suspicious statement... Maybe Kanda-kun is right. Li Nian seems to be hiding a lot of things from everyone..."
……
……
Li Nian opened the car door and sat in the back seat.
"Please drive."
Iwabata started the car and spoke.
"Should I not have come to visit you? I think I have caused trouble for you, Mr. Li?"
Li Nian thought to himself that the problem wasn't your visit, but your image as a ferocious and muscular man.
"It's okay... But Mr. Iwata, you are indeed not like an ordinary person. Are you also an exorcist?"
"I guess so. I'm just an ordinary employee, not a big shot like you guys, so forget about the sir. Just call me Iwabata."
Is this Iwabata Koji also an exorcist? Li Nian straightened his attitude slightly and shrugged.
"Look at what you said, what big shot? I am just a rookie exorcist. I have to call you senior."
"I don't deserve it." Yan Duan shook his head and looked at Li Nian with interest through the rearview mirror: "But speaking of newcomers... I did hear Huang Quan say that she was the one who recently applied for the exorcist qualification certificate for you from the leader of Jinguji? So that thing is true?"
Suddenly, Jianshan Huangquan's name appeared here, which made Li Nian stunned for a moment: "Do you know Jianshan?"
"Yes, I have known her for three years since Xiao Huangquan first came to work... Sorry, even if I say this, you don't understand. In fact, she and I are both under the command of Team Leader Jinguji, so we are colleagues, so I heard
She talked about you.”
It turns out that Iwabata is not only an exorcist, but also a subordinate of Jinguji like Yomi?
Li Nian thought that he might come here as a work partner... no, he should be a senior who came to guide the newcomers, and his tone immediately became humble: "Is that so? I understand. Sorry, this is my first time to participate in work involving the third type of spiritual disasters. I will need your guidance in handling it later."
Yan Duan was slightly startled when he heard this, and quickly shook his head to deny it: "Mr. Li, you are joking. How can I have the authority to deal with the third type of spiritual disaster? You are fully responsible for this incident. I am just an assistant. I really don't deserve your title of senior. Instead, I should be at your disposal."
"…I am fully responsible?"
Seeing Li Nian's blank expression through the rearview mirror, Iwata probably guessed what Li Nian was thinking. He smiled bitterly and thought to himself, "Is he really a newcomer who knows nothing? I can't imagine he would be as strong as Isayama described..."
However, he is indeed a young kid. I remember that he is younger than Xiao Huangquan. He is only a sophomore in high school?
This reminded Iwata of the time when he first met Huang Quan. At that time, the little girl was only in the third grade of junior high school, but she already had the ability to stand on her own, but she was not aware of it. She still seemed to know nothing about the industry. She also followed him nervously and asked questions like a junior...
This boy's situation is probably the same as Xiao Huangquan's at that time.
Mr. Iwata said with emotion: "Mr. Li, you think too highly of me. A weak exorcist like me is not qualified to work with you, Mr. Li."
"I don't mean to look down on anyone..."
"It's okay, I'm just telling the truth." Iwata shrugged nonchalantly, "In this industry, strength is paramount, and only excellent exorcists like you and Xiao Huangquan can handle dangerous spiritual disasters."
"Not necessarily. Mr. Iwaduta, I think you look like a veteran of many battles." Li Nian said meaningfully. He had a talent for martial arts and could tell from his every move.
"That's in the past. To be honest, I used to be a mercenary."
"...Amazing!" Li Nian exclaimed. Mercenary is a rare profession. He had only seen it in movies before. It really fits Iwata's image.
