I Am a Light Novel Master in Japan Chapter 679

"Um?"

Shiina Mashiro stood blankly at the door, being talked about by everyone about such changes.

However, Mashiro felt that these were already habits.

"Sarata, your pet seems to be finally starting to wake up. From now on, you as an owner will not have so much work to be responsible for." Mitaka Jin said to Kanda Sorata with a smile.

Kanda Sorata showed a headache and said, "I told you I'm not hers..."

"...I'm not a pet."

Suddenly, Shiina Mashiro interrupted Kanda Sorata and Mitaka Jin's words.

"I don't have an owner either."

Shiina Mashiro stood in front of everyone and continued to say something calmly. The girl's tone was so firm that everyone around her was stunned. Suddenly, they all felt that Shiina Mashiro in front of them had become somewhat complete.

Everyone started getting ready for school and left Sakurasou one after another, heading towards the Suimei Art High School together.

Mashiro Shiina naturally walked along the familiar streets with everyone, listening to the chatter and laughter of her classmates.

"..."

Shiina Mashiro looked at Nanami Aoyama who had been staying with them, feeling a little depressed. Nanami, who had been with her all the time, suddenly became a little unfamiliar with her.

"!!"

Suddenly, for some unknown reason, a young man riding a bicycle, whose face could not be seen clearly, passed her in a hurry on this street.

For a moment, a strong sense of familiarity made Shiina Mashiro unable to help but stop.

She turned back in a daze and looked at the figure that had disappeared.

A figure that I miss very much. Painful emotions, happy emotions, nostalgic emotions, and confused emotions were like colors, filling her heart.

Mashiro's schoolbag slipped from her slender fingers and fell to the ground.

"?"

Kanda Sorata, Aoyama Nanami and others turned to look behind. As a result, Shiina Mashiro stood in a quiet residential street under the blue sky, looking back.

"Shiina, what are you doing, are you going to be late for school?" Kanda Sorata asked curiously.

Shiina Mashiro didn't reply, she started walking back towards that figure.

"Wait a minute, what are you doing? Something is really wrong with you today, Shiina!" Seeing this, Sorata immediately stretched out his hand to grab Mashiro's hand and asked with concern.

"I want to go there..."

Shiina Mashiro whispered.

"Where are we going... Shouldn't we live leisurely together every day?" Misaki Kamikusa asked curiously.

"I don't know, I don't hate life in Sakurasou..."

"...But, I have seen the bright sky and the wider world."

Shiina Mashiro looked at everyone in Sakurasou and said.

"Although I feel uneasy, I am always happy."

"I can actually do a lot of things."

Shiina Mashiro looked at them, her golden bangs swaying slightly in the breeze, her quiet eyes looking at her friends who were also very good to her, and said.

"..." The people in Sakurasou looked at her and were speechless.

Nanami looked at Shiina Mashiro quietly. Finally, she seemed to understand Mashiro's words. She stepped forward, smiled, looked at Mashiro and said, "Go, Mashiro."

"Having been hurt so much, we originally thought that you should live a life without fighting against the world, which is more suitable for you, but... I also like Mashiro with such mobility... What is the unknown future like? We can't explain it clearly, but Mashiro, you are no longer a pet girl. With your beliefs and ideals, you should go further."

Nanami Aoyama looked at her, trusting her so much, and said to her.

"..."

Shiina Mashiro retreated, watching the people in Sakurasou keep retreating. The people in Sakurasou turned into figures with various beautiful colors, and the surrounding environment became more and more like an oil painting-like world.

She turned around and started running, running under the boundless blue sky, constantly pursuing that trace in the colorful world.

The complex streets are like a maze, and Shiina Mashiro is standing in the center of the cross maze.

Occasionally, a shadow accompanies a certain girl's shadow walking through the streets, heading into the unknown mountains and forests to find the truth. When Mashiro chased after him, he lost the chase again.

Occasionally, a figure with a single ponytail accompanied the girl back from shopping for groceries, and together they were figuring out the living expenses. Shiina Mashiro came back to her senses, and when she turned around and looked over, she didn't see anyone there.

——[What color will I turn into...]

Shiina Mashiro stood in this colorful world of oil paintings, with this question echoing in her mind.

However, the bond and experience like an oath finally made Mashiro hear, she called, and they called for her echo.

"truth."

Shiina Mashiro was stunned when she heard the exchange of words behind her. She turned around and faced the three figures standing in the corner of the street.

On the left is the figure of a girl with the color of the sea, on the right is the figure of a soft golden girl, and in the middle is the figure of a young man who looks like a flame. They are all waiting for her quietly.

"Mashiro, wake up, everyone is waiting for you to come back."

The red figure looked at her, a familiar voice called her, and young men and girls stretched out their hands.

Under the feather-like blue sky and colorful clouds, Shiina Mashiro looked at them quietly. Finally, a smile appeared on such a pure and unparalleled face.

She leaned forward and reached for their hands...

"I found you, Nanami, Rita...Holmes..."

※※※

Morning, 10:50.

Shiina Mashiro, who had been lying on the bed, moved her long and charming eyelashes and slowly opened her eyes.

In front of him was the familiar ceiling, and even the smell of the air blowing in through the windows was so familiar.

She got up and found herself in an apartment room in Shinjuku District. The warm quilt slipped off her body, and she was wearing clean pajamas.

"...?"
