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

Li Nian really felt a headache when she heard Jingcao talking, and she pushed the alien to drive her out.

"Wait, wait, newcomer-kun! Wait a moment." Kamiigusa seemed to want to say something and struggled desperately.

"I won't wait, go quickly."

"I want to discuss something with you!"

"Don't listen, don't listen, the bastard is chanting sutras."

“Ouch!” Seeing that he was about to be pushed out, Shangjingusuo was anxious: “Really wait a minute! I’m serious!”

Seeing that she seemed to have something serious to say, Li Nian stopped pushing her and asked in confusion, "What do you want to say?"

Then Uegusa looked him straight in the eye and said with a very serious expression: "I want you!"

"roll."

Li Nian felt that she was really stupid for thinking that something nice would come out of the alien's mouth, so she picked her up by the neck and threw her out of the door like a kitten. She fell to the ground and screamed in pain. She rubbed her butt and stood up, shouting to Li Nian angrily: "Newcomer is bullying me! I'm going to find Xiaoshi to complain!", and then ran upstairs.

Li Nian stood at the door, looking puzzled, not knowing what was going on with Guan Xiazhiqiu.

Is she still in Sakurasou? Ah, she is here to look for Shiina, right?

By the way, I don’t know how the comic adaptation of “Love Metronome” is progressing…

Li Nian suddenly felt something and looked to the side. Ren had come out of the room at some point and was staring at him.

The expression was unusually gloomy, and the eyes looked unfriendly. Li Nian's heart moved slightly, and he did feel some hostility. He frowned and asked tentatively, "What's wrong, Senior Ren?"

Ren closed his eyes to hide the hostility in his eyes, sighed deeply, and when he opened his eyes again, his expression had returned to his normal smile, and he spoke gently.

"Make no mistake. Misaki doesn't want you. She wants your story."

"...You want my story?"

"It seems that our Exorcist's writing talent is far beyond my imagination. Frankly, I'm happy. The fact that the excellent independent animation producer Misaki Kamiigusa couldn't put it down shows that you are excellent enough to match her. Really, it makes me curious about what you wrote."

Li Nian looked up at the stairs again, and her eyebrows twitched involuntarily. After hearing what Jing Ren said, she suddenly understood Jinggusa's attitude.

"So what she wanted to discuss was..."

"I want to make an animation based on your story." Ren said slowly, "Misaki is just that kind of person. She will want to do it as soon as she gets an idea, regardless of the place or occasion. And once she makes up her mind, she will do her best to complete it... But not everything can touch her. She won't even look at something that is not good enough. The fact that she has this idea means that your work has touched a place deep in her heart. Let's talk to her later. You have also seen her animation, so you must know how excellent her talent is, right? Although Misaki always causes trouble for everyone, I believe that in this matter alone, no matter what, it will definitely be a good thing for you."

Li Nian turned around and looked at Ren. Hearing his sighing tone, he was not thinking about how his work would become after being adapted into an animation by Kamiigusa, but about the relationship between him and Kamiigusa, and the look in his eyes just now.

“…I remember Kanda said before that the animation made by Kamiigusa was written by you, Ren-senpai.”

Li Nian suddenly brought it up and Ren was obviously stunned for a moment, then his expression became a little bitter.

"Oh, it seems I've been exposed. The fact that you asked this shows that you've noticed it, right? You're much more perceptive than Sorata."

"...No, I don't really understand the relationship between Kamiigusa-senpai and you, Jin-senpai."

"Nonsense, since you said that, doesn't that mean you've seen through everything? There's nothing to be embarrassed about admitting. I was just a little jealous just now, and I'm sorry to let you see my useless appearance."

Jealousy... As expected, Mitaka Jin is jealous of Misaki.

Li Nian narrowed his eyes, thought for a while, and asked a question.

"…If you feel jealous, why don't you just claim ownership?"

Although the alien Misaki Kamiigusa seems to be friendly to everyone, Mitaka Jin obviously has a completely different meaning to her. Anyone who lives in Sakurasou, even someone as ignorant as Shiina, can see that Kamiigusa likes her childhood sweetheart Mitaka Jin, and her offensive is actually very bold and radical, making her attitude clear. But this humanoid self-propelled artillery, who is obviously having affairs with a lot of women outside and seems to accept everyone, has been avoiding Kamiigusa's various offensives in an abnormal way, showing an attitude of rejection.

Li Nian had always found this strange, but now that he had heard Senior Ren's attitude towards Misaki, he finally couldn't help but ask this question.

"Stop." Ren gestured for a pause. "I think we should stop here."

Ren didn't seem to want to talk about this topic. Li Nian frowned, but didn't stop. Instead, he looked at him coldly and continued.

"I guess the senior is so addicted to all these beauties that he doesn't want to settle down."

"That look in your eyes...it would be better if you just said that you think I'm a scumbag who's dragging others down."

“…I didn’t say that at all.”

Ren's smile became more bitter, but he suddenly talked about a topic that seemed to have nothing to do with the present.

"I don't have the talent you guys have. A script written by someone like me will never win Misaki's favor no matter what. Although she has been using my scripts to make animations and has never complained, I know very well that my scripts are not worthy of her animations."

Li Nian's heart trembled slightly, and he immediately understood that this was Ren's answer.

Ren patted his shoulder and said with a smile.

"So I believe you won't let Misaki down... How about giving me a copy of your novel later? Let me learn from it. Thank you."

The topic ended there, and Ren went back to his room and closed the door with a click.

"…What a complicated problem. I think I'd better stay away from it."

Chapter 161 Progress in Comicization

The impression that Ren has always given people can be summed up in four words, that is, a playboy. It seems that he always has a gentle smile on his face, and he has a handsome face, which makes people feel like they are in the spring breeze. There is no shortage of women around him, and he looks super fashionable.

But now it seems that even a popular person like him who looks so glamorous has his own unspeakable sufferings.

Mitaka Jin is Kamiigusa Misaki's childhood sweetheart, and they have been together since they were young. It goes without saying how deep their feelings are. Now that we know that Mitaka Jin actually likes Kamiigusa as well, it seems that he accepts everyone who comes, as if he can't really control the self-propelled artillery below, but keeps a distance from Kamiigusa Misaki who is so close to him. This behavior that seems very restrained may itself symbolize a kind of respect.

But even so, Li Nian still felt a little disgusted by the fact that he maintained a benefits-friend relationship with so many women while liking someone else, and judged that this was a kind of self-indulgence on the part of Mitaka Ren.

But it is true that he did not make it clear that he was in a relationship with Kamiigusa, so it could not be considered as cheating. In modern society, a relationship like friends with benefits where both parties are willing is not against the law. After all, it is still the private life of Mitaka Ren. Since they met, Li Nian could feel that this boy was actually a man with a very good personality. He was liked by so many women not just because of his face. Therefore, Li Nian did not label Mitaka Ren as a scumbag in her heart. Now that she knew that he had such troubles and ethics, the fixed impression that he was a bit frivolous was somewhat dispelled.

Is the source of suffering the difference in talent?

Putting herself in his shoes, Li Nian could understand Mitaka Ren's troubles.

Li Nian has heard of the argument that Mitaka Jin's scripts are not worthy of Kamiigusa Misaki's animations... To be precise, he himself has read Kamiigusa Misaki's works and clearly felt the mediocrity of the scripts. The work represents the author's strength, and it can be seen that Mitaka Jin's ability as a screenwriter is indeed not enough.

At first glance, animators and screenwriters seem like a perfect match, with both men and women having good looks...but when their talents are mismatched, this relationship can become harmful to the weaker party.

Li Nian guessed that, probably at the beginning, Kamiigusa was excited to embark on her own path out of her own interest, and her childhood sweetheart Mitaka Jin was probably just led in this direction because of her. He should be trying to catch up with Kamiigusa.

As a result, you are left far behind by your childhood sweetheart who is talented and making rapid progress. This must not be a good feeling.

Li Nian felt that the most crucial problem was that Shang Jinggusa himself seemed to be unaware of this.

...After all, it's their own business.

Li Nian shook her head and stopped thinking about it. After changing her clothes, she left the room and went to the kitchen to start preparing dinner.

He laid out the various ingredients and started processing them. Before that, he was thinking about organizing the various steps of the dishes he wanted to make in his mind. Suddenly, the door of the restaurant was pushed open, and Shiina and Kasumigaoka walked in.

Li Nian noticed them and raised his hand to greet them.

"Hey, Shiina-san, Kasumigaoka-san."

"...What are you doing?" Kasumigaoka looked at Li Nian, who was standing in front of the chopping board, in confusion.

Li Nian had already thought about what she was going to do. She pulled off her apron and put it on herself, then tied it in a knot behind her back. She replied calmly, "As you can see, prepare dinner. We at Sakurasou have a system of taking turns to cook. Today it's my turn."

Shiina was already used to this, so he walked to the refrigerator and opened it, his eyes moving up and down.

"Are you hungry?" Li Nian noticed and asked.

"Ah."

It seemed that there was no satisfactory food in the refrigerator. Shiina looked over with big eyes. Li Nian understood and nodded: "Wait a minute."

Kasumigaoka looked at him curiously. Li Nian glanced at the ingredients, then reached out and picked out two tomatoes. He washed them under water for a while, put them on the chopping board, and picked up the knife with one hand: "I'll make a snack for you two."

Just as Kasumigaoka was about to say "I don't want it," she suddenly saw countless white lights flash across the chopping board. The next moment, the two tomatoes spread out like flowers, each neatly cut into sixteen pieces.

"Oh~~~"

Shiina exclaimed frankly, while Kasumigaoka was so shocked by the quick sword that she swallowed her words back and was unable to utter a word.

Li Nian silently put the food on the plate and sprinkled sugar evenly on it. A bowl of tomatoes mixed with sugar was ready and she handed it to Shiina.

"Here."

Shiina picked up a piece without hesitation and put it into his mouth, chewing it. He immediately showed a happy expression. Before he finished eating one piece, he couldn't wait to pick up another one.

Li Nian passed the plate to Kasumigaoka again. She looked at Li Nian with a complicated expression: "Do you usually cook like this?"

He just shrugged and said, "Try it."

"……Thanks."

Kasumigaoka hesitantly picked up a small piece of tomato slice and put it into her mouth. The sour and sweet taste and the refreshing texture made her eyes light up. She felt that it was really good as a snack. She didn't usually cook and felt that she was too lazy to cook, but she could still do this simple method. She secretly took note of it and praised it immediately.

"good to eat."

“There’s more delicious food to come.”

Li Nian put down the plate, turned around and continued to prepare the ingredients, while speaking casually.

"You haven't seen my cooking skills yet. How about you stay here for dinner? I'll prepare a feast for you in time. If you miss this opportunity, it will be gone forever."

Kasumigaoka had not originally made a reservation to stay for dinner. She had followed Shiina down, intending to say goodbye. But now that she saw Li Nian had returned and that he was in charge of today's cooking at Sakurasou, she became curious and thought that this restaurant might not exist in this village. She changed her mind and nodded in agreement.

"Okay, but I have very picky tastes, so don't let me down."

"I try my best."

As he spoke, Li Nian had already placed various things on the chopping board and started to chop with his knife. The rapid and measured clacking sound echoed in the air. He cut very quickly and hurriedly, and the light and shadows flashed, making people worry that he might cut his hands.

But for Li Nian, that was naturally an impossible situation. He had no problem controlling a long knife, let alone a kitchen knife. He cut quickly and steadily. In a short while, all kinds of ingredients had been sliced, shredded, minced, and diced. He placed them on plates, all neatly arranged and very beautiful.

Shiina on the other side was not surprised at all. He had already picked up another piece of tomato and put it in his mouth to chew. He said to Kasumigaoka, "Come and eat it?"

Kasumigaoka stared at Li Nian's rapidly cutting hands and shook her head: "Teacher Shiina, please eat by yourself. I have something to ask Li Nian."

Shiina said "oh", took the plate without hesitation, sat back at the dining table, and began to enjoy the meal happily.

Li Nianshi didn't even raise his head and continued to process the ingredients.

"What's the problem? Tell me first, don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask."

"...I heard that you didn't come to school today?"

"That's not the right question... Well, I know what you're thinking. Yes, I went to work. Well, I've already answered that question, so let's leave it at that. Now it's my turn to ask you."

"What a boring man!" Kasumigaoka curled her lips: "...What do you want to ask?"

"Who told you this?"

"It's Gogen-san. When I went to return the book to her, I went to your class and saw that you were not there, so I asked out of curiosity. I heard that you often skip classes? Is it because of work?"

"more or less."

"You seem quite busy. Are all exorcists like that?"

"It's okay... I don't really understand the situation of the others."

"I remember that Isayama-san often asked for leave, and he would not come to school for two or three days..."

Li Nian thought of the complaints Jianshan once made to him, and thought that she really couldn't be as fast and good as himself. He also understood that many exorcists were probably not as efficient as himself.

"...Then it seems that everyone should be busier than me."

“…You guys are working hard too.”

"Okay."

After cutting up all kinds of things, Li Nian rolled up his sleeves, revealing his strong arms, and reached out to pull up a live fish from the bucket next to him. It was a big, lively fish, and it was still struggling and twisting when he caught it, but his hands were as strong as pliers, and he held the smooth fish body very firmly. He slapped it on the chopping board and smashed the fish head with the back of the knife.

"Paji~"

Shiina, who was watching this scene, simulated the sound effect at the right time. However, Kasumigaoka shrank her head and showed an expression that she couldn't bear to watch.

"Speaking of Isayama, has she said anything to you, Senior?"

Li Nian continued to ask, and after knocking the live fish unconscious, he picked it up and began to scrape the scales. He did not use a knife to scrape the scales, but directly called on his spiritual power, which turned into an invisible blade, and rolled it down from both sides, scraping the scales clean in one go. After scraping, he picked up the knife and began to gut the fish, remove the gills and internal organs.

Kasumigaoka didn't dare to look anymore, turned her head away and answered.

"...She also told me not to say too much and not to ask too many questions. Are all of you exorcists secretive?"

"Yes."

"...Okay, I won't ask about this, can I ask about something else?"
