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

"Shiina is here."

Kanda brought Shiina, and the girl looked at Li Nian blankly.

"Good morning?"

"Look carefully, that's the setting sun, not the rising sun, over the mountain..." Li Nian felt that he really couldn't keep up with this person's train of thought. He sighed and went straight to the point: "I've already made an appointment with Xia Shizi for you."

"Really?"

One could sense Shiina's surprise from the slightly raised tone of voice.

"Really, on Saturday. So, have you thought about what you're going to say to her, and what have you prepared?"

"I wanted to paint her story. So I painted it."

Shiina's answer was firm and decisive.

Li Nian took ten seconds to understand that these two sentences were answers to his two questions respectively, and continued to ask questions to confirm their meaning.

"Regarding your first sentence, you said you wanted to draw her story. I understand that you have decided to invite her to co-create the comics, hoping to use her script to create the comics?"

"Yes."

This was indeed the best possible development that Li Nian had thought of when she decided to provide her with this opportunity.

If Kasumi Shiko's story and Shiina's paintings can be perfectly and organically integrated, a devastating work will definitely be born - Li Nian knows that this idea is a bit taken for granted, but he is very optimistic about it.

But here he couldn't help but confirm with Shiina again.

"No, no, no, don't answer so bluntly... Do you really understand what co-creation means? This means that what you create no longer belongs to you alone. You used her script to draw something, which allowed others to participate in the core part. The comics that are finally born are your joint achievements. You no longer have it all to yourself. The signature of your work needs to add the three words [Xia Shizi]!"

"It doesn't matter."

"You actually said it doesn't matter?"

Li Nian began to doubt whether this silly kid, who obviously didn't have enough brains, had actually never thought seriously about these important things, and frowned.

"If you put it that way, then I must seriously consider whether I should cancel this meeting, because seeking cooperation with a half-understood understanding is definitely not a good thing for both parties."

"It doesn't matter." Shiina repeated the word: "I just want to draw interesting things. That's why I want to draw comics. The story of [Kasumi Shiko] is very interesting. I want to get it and draw it into a comic. As long as it's like this, I will be satisfied."

It was rare for her to say so many words at once, and she seemed a little anxious to explain.

Kanda had been watching from the sidelines until now, not daring to interrupt, but finally couldn't help but jump out and speak.

"Student Li Nian, Shiina should be able to understand what you are saying."

"…Because it's interesting, you want to draw it?"

Li Nian still understood what Shiina said and seemed to be thinking about something.

So she doesn't mind drawing other people's stories, nor does she mind sharing copyright with others, because she only cares about whether she can draw an interesting story...

"Okay." Li Nian nodded, agreeing with Shiina's idea. He felt that they had a basis for conversation, so he continued to ask, "Then what do you mean by drawing a picture later?"

"I drew a manga." Shiina replied, "The story of the first volume of "Love Metronome"."

As she spoke, she took out a stack of manuscripts from her schoolbag.

Li Nian took it with surprise.

After finishing the reading, Li Nian gave Shiina a thumbs up. All his worries had disappeared, and he spoke with great certainty.

"This wave is stable."

Chapter 130: Talking about Cooperation

Saturday, Sakurasou, afternoon.

"Shiina, are you ready?"

"Korata, which pair of panties should I wear?"

"Any one is fine! Don't ask me about that kind of thing!"

Although it was not a formal meeting, the first impression is still very important. Li Nian reminded Shiina to make himself look neat and tidy... but it is obvious that Shiina cannot do it by himself. Now that Aoyama has gone to work, this heavy burden naturally and indisputably falls back on Kanda.

Although there were various commotions similar to the above situation, which even caused Akasaka Ryunosuke, who was staying in the room, to bang on the door in dissatisfaction, Kanda had been taking care of Mashiro for a long time and was familiar with the process. Finally, it didn't take long for Kanda to take the well-groomed Shiina downstairs to the entrance.

Li Nian was already standing there waiting. He glanced up and down at Shiina, who looked much cleaner and more energetic. He felt that there was no problem, so he asked one more question: "Did you bring the comics?"

Kanda patted the briefcase in his hand and said, "It's inside."

"Okay." Having already brought the only and most important thing, Li Nian nodded to Kanda with satisfaction, and then said to Shiina, "Although I don't expect you to say anything good, Shiina-san... I still hope you remember that it is you who want to negotiate cooperation with Kasumigaoka, so you will be the protagonist later, and you must show your sincerity."

"Well, I'm sincere."

"I can't tell your sincerity from your poker face... Never mind, I have Kanda's help anyway."

“I have such a long way to go?!” Kanda seemed to be nervous when he thought about the famous talented girl in the third grade he was going to meet: “That’s Kasumigaoka Utaha…”

"Of course I will help you, don't worry." Li Nian patted his shoulder. As a middleman, Li Nian would naturally help in the process consciously.

"But it's just that, drinking tea and chatting. If it works out, it works out. If it doesn't, forget it. That's all."

Shiina shook his head and raised his fist high: "If I don't succeed, I will die."

Kanda asked curiously, "How do you achieve martyrdom?"

"Seppuku."

"It's over!"

"I mean Sorata."

"If I feel that way, do I have to sacrifice my life?!"

"Ok, that's the momentum." Li Nian pushed the door open and said, "Let's go."

When Li Nian brought Kanda and Shiina to the agreed coffee shop, they arrived a little earlier than the agreed time.

Pushing the door open and entering, he first glanced around, but didn't see Kasumigaoka Utaha sitting anywhere. Li Nian knew she hadn't come yet, so he wasn't in a hurry. He was just about to find a place to sit down, when suddenly his heart moved slightly, and he felt someone was staring at him, and someone was deliberately spying on the situation here.

Li Nian looked up and saw the girl who had just stuck her head out retract her head.

She reacted promptly, but Li Nian still immediately recognized who it was and smacked his lips.

"Tsk... in the end, he still followed me."

Who else could it be if not Gogen Ruri?

When Li Nian received a call from Kasumigaoka, he walked away without hesitation, and she found out that he and Shiina were going to meet Kasumigao Shiko today.

She wanted to come along at that time, but Dan Linian refused her request. Unexpectedly, she came here secretly today.

Wu Geng even chose a place separated by a partition, changed into inconspicuous casual clothes, put on a hat, and sat in an inconspicuous corner. She probably didn't realize that Li Nian had already discovered her.

Li Nian shook his head secretly. Seeing how painstakingly she disguised herself, he was too lazy to expose her. He thought that she would not be so tactless as to disturb their business conversation. He decided to ignore her and took Kanda and Shiina to find a place far away to sit down, and called the waiter to take the order.

Li Nian ordered something at random and threw the menu to Kanda and Shiina.

“They all look a bit expensive.”

Kanda looked embarrassed, feeling ashamed to let Li Nian spend money, so he started browsing the cheap tea column. At that moment, Shiina, who was standing next to him, had already spotted the target and pointed at it without hesitation.

"Korata, I want this."

"Super deluxe special edition pineapple bun... so expensive?!"

Kanda was stunned by the price, which was equivalent to his four-day expenses. When he couldn't figure out why a pineapple bun could be sold at such a high price, Li Nian poked his head out to take a look and said indifferently, "Just order that."

"... Li Nian, do you really remember why you moved to Sakurasou?"

Of course Li Nian still remembered that when Kanda asked him about it, his answer was that he was poor. He smiled and shook his head.

"These days are different."

The reward for exorcising a level one spiritual disaster last time had already been deposited into Li Nian's card. He had thoroughly understood how well the job of an exorcist paid, and knew that there was no need to live frugally, so he was too lazy to care about this little money.

"Don't worry about what you want to eat." Li Nian noticed that the high school student Kanda was not very relaxed, and added meaningfully: "If you want to talk to people about things, you must have this kind of generosity."

But he soon regretted it.

When the deluxe pineapple bun was served on the table, before the two could react, Shiina had already stretched out her hands, picked it up like lightning, and began to chew it like a little hamster, not caring that the greasy stuff stuck to her hands and face, ruining her relatively clean and tidy image in one breath.

True colors revealed.

"All my hard work wasted in an instant?!" Kanda screamed.

Li Nian was also speechless and asked.

"...Shiina-san, do you remember why we came here?"

“For the top-notch pineapple buns!”

"I remember it was to discuss something..."

“Oh no.” Kanda looked regretful. “I should have remembered that when Shiina sees a pineapple bun, her eyes will no longer tolerate anything else.”

"..."

Is this the brain circuit of a small animal?

Since Kanda said so, then this must be the situation. Li Nian suddenly felt upset and began to regret ordering food for her.

"No, although it's almost the agreed time, the senior hasn't arrived yet. Let her finish eating quickly. I should still have time to take care of it..."

As they were talking, the door of the coffee shop was pushed open, and a gorgeous beauty with long black hair swaying and beautiful legs in black stockings walked in. People couldn't help but look at her sideways. It was Kasumigaoka Utaha who arrived on time. However, when Li Nian noticed the scene, he only showed a headache expression and held his nose.

"But it happened to appear at the worst possible time..."

Holding on to a glimmer of hope, Li Nian went to look at Shiina again, only to see the girl still chewing on a pineapple bun like a little hamster, oblivious to the people around her.

"Shiina, look over there."

At Li Nian's reminder, she looked over and saw Kasumigaoka Utaha...

Keep chewing and chewing.

He looked over here blankly, as if asking what he was doing over there.

You didn't recognize it? ... Well, I guess I didn't recognize it.

Li Nian, who took it for granted that everyone at Sobu High School would recognize the daimyo of Kasumigaoka, knew that he was wrong. Shiina didn't seem to be someone who would be interested in these gossips.

Because Li Nian had chosen a seat near the door that was easily noticed, it seemed that he was lucky enough to have his face remembered by passers-by. Senior Kasumigaoka spotted him at a glance, smiled, walked over, and naturally sat down in the seat that was left empty for him opposite the three of them.

It was a bit too late to remind Shiina at this time.

The serious atmosphere, the formal discussions, the clear and logical conversations... Li Nian already had a premonition that things might not develop as smoothly as expected.

Just adapt to the circumstances.

Li Nian's mind raced, but he finally smiled.

"It's an honor to meet you again, Kasumigaoka-senpai."

"Me too, Li Nian." Kasumigaoka's eyes swept across Kota, who had a reserved expression next to Li Nian, and finally looked at the girl who was chewing bread and ignoring her. The smile on her face obviously froze for a moment.

When she said the next sentence, her tone suddenly lowered: "But I heard you say that you came to talk to me about work, and I didn't hear that other students would be there. Can you explain why?"

Kanda was even more embarrassed.

Li Nian smiled unchanged and handed over the menu.

"How about ordering something to eat before we talk?"

Kasumigaoka shook his head.

"It may not look like it on the surface, but I'm actually quite busy. I've already made time to come here. If you don't have anything important to talk to me about, then I can't stay here for too long. Please allow me to leave first."

"I understand... Then I'll get straight to the point." Li Nian said, glancing at Shiina again. She was still nibbling on the bread...

He really didn't want to get to the point at this time, but there was no other way. After a pause, Li Nian continued, "Actually, it's not me who's looking for you."

Kasumigaoka understood what she meant and moved her eyes away from Li Nian. After glancing at Shiina without even looking at her, her eyes fell on Kanda.

Kanda quickly smiled and said, "Nice to meet you, Kasumigaoka-senpai? I've heard a lot about you. I'm Kanda Sorata from Class 2, F."

"Are you looking for me?"

Towards the stranger Kanda, Kasumigaoka's attitude was obviously not as polite as towards Li Nian, and she did not hide her suspicion on her face.
