I Am a Light Novel Master in Japan Chapter 724
——Title: [Persistence].
Chapter 349 The Disappearance of Uesugi Yan
Rumble…
Like the hollow sound of wind, it whispers in the ears of the sleeper. In the dim room, a burned-out, empty body stood quietly next to the sleeper. The body swayed slightly, and endless despair and coldness lingered in the eerie atmosphere.
That body was quite similar to his own.
"!?"
Li Yan realized something, stood up suddenly, and turned around to look.
As a result, in the darkness, the hotel room was empty and empty, except for himself.
【Didi didi! Didi didi! Didi didi...]
The alarm clock on the table in the room rang, echoing in this dark and cold room, but it could not disturb the young figure who had woken up before.
The next day arrived.
Li Yan quietly looked at the dim light coming through the gaps in the curtains and thought to himself.
He stood up and opened the curtains, revealing a patch of rain in front of him. However, no matter how dim the sunlight was, it illuminated his cave-like room, and also illuminated the two group photos that had been placed next to the alarm clock. A group photo of Sanwa Bunko also includes Eiri, Kasumi Shiko, and Kagurazaka Iris. Another photo originally had a group photo of Gabriel's foursome, but he was left standing there alone.
And, in the light of the rainy day, the silver pocket watch still shines faintly because I miss it too deeply.
In silence, Li Yan put on his clothes for going out and put his things back into the bag. The backpack was a little heavy, but it was carried behind him like the equipment he needed to conquer everything.
The last day, the most anxious day of the battle between light and darkness...
Li Yan finally reached out and turned the doorknob, turned around and looked at the empty room, finally opened the door, came alone, and set off alone...
on the other hand.
10:30 minutes.
It wasn't just a few minutes late, it was close enough to the end of the game.
This heavy rain greatly blocked the traffic in Tokyo. Not only did the bus delay coming, but they were also forced to be late when they arrived at the tram stop. The two girls who had gone through all kinds of hardships to get here, after taking off their raincoats at the door, were still mostly soaked, and hurriedly trotted down this long and empty corridor, hearing the roaring sound coming from the competition venue. Clear and legible.
"ha……"
"ha……"
Shiina Mashiro could hardly run anymore, her body was hot and cold, and she ran ahead with a bit of anxiety in her eyes.
However, she heard the footsteps running behind her getting farther and farther away, and turned around to look out of curiosity. It turned out that Nanami Aoyama could no longer run anymore and was falling further and further behind.
"..."
Shiina Mashiro slowly stopped. She stretched out her hand, grabbed Nanami who was catching up from behind, and led Nanami to run forward for the last part.
"!?"
Nanami Aoyama was immediately startled, looking at the one with wet hair and running forward desperately, the crystal clear raindrops sliding down the face of the leading girl and flying into the air. Sure enough, Mashiro has become very strange since yesterday, and this morning too. However, she feels that Mashiro has not changed, but her tenacity has been sublimated from her works to her whole body and mind.
Mashiro Shiina, who was feeling cold all over, took Nanami's hand. After all the hard work, she finally reached the wooden door leading to the audience area.
The two panting girls faced the door. They looked at each other in silence, and then they pushed open the door together.
What greeted us was a dazzling light, as well as sensational applause and shouts.
The crashing sound was as loud and shocking as a flood.
Shiina Mashiro and Aoyama Nanami, the two belated girls, were distracted and didn't know what was going on.
However, in the competition area, on a white scroll, the title "Persistence" was clearly written. All nine contestants completed the final test and accepted the final review.
The nine contestants sitting in the waiting area listened to the roaring applause.
At this moment, there is no need to wait or guess, the long-awaited second work of Uesugi Yan, the third volume, has been completed.
It seems that the competition has changed. Ten writers wrote a short literary work called "Persistence", and the audience listened to the judges' final comments.
The scene was still filled with the group of people who were paying attention to Uesugi Yan, but in front of the computer, watching this scene, watching this light novel writer who had created miracles, attracted more people who were not present.
The employees of the hot spring hotel in Hitoyoshi City, and the kimono girl who cannot be seen by anyone who has no chance to see them. In front of the TV in a wet street store, the hell girls stood quietly on the stagnant water reflecting the pouring rain, preparing to carry out their mission. In a dirty and messy room, the decadent blonde girl followed the other three girls, ignoring the ps4 game that was still paused on the TV and looking at the computer screen. The short-haired girl who was shopping with her friends and walking on the ramp that she had passed several times was watching a program on her phone, but her hat was accidentally blown off "again"...
What is persistence...
In a world where most people have forgotten him, there are shining lights, empty lines, and a man with nothing. He just relies on his own stories and novels to maintain the last glimmer of hope, and hears his own voice. After the noun, he stood up like Mount Tai.
What is persistence...
Even at the last moment, I want to keep interesting stories, meaningful experiences, erased memories, and words that will not be wiped out by the people I care about, and keep them in this world.
The story of persistence was written.
Like the first volume "Concern", the second volume "Joy", and the third volume "Perseverance", the novel is a coherent novel that runs through people's joys, sorrows, black and white, good and evil. Eri's strength, Kasumi Shiko's kindness, Natsume Takashi's warmth, Neko-sensei's love, Sayuri's mystery, Kato Megumi's ordinaryness, Enma's tragedy, Renge's contradictions, Yukino's warmth and warmth, Hikigaya's decay , Gabriel's fall, Alice's search, senior sister's tenderness... strong emotions were adapted into it, and after enduring countless dangers and desperate situations, she persisted, and finally welcomed the final peaceful and extraordinary life. This is the last trilogy written by Li Yan, the second work with only 20,000 words.
To some extent, there are still some regrets.
He finished fourth and missed the final prize of the top three. I don’t know how many readers felt sad because of his shortcomings in the end. He himself could not win the top three. With the help of this novel, he said to his "strange" friends Opportunities to speak out what you want to say.
Under the bright light, Li Yan turned around and looked at the dark crowd. He didn't know how many forgotten figures were here, with his eyes filled with deep nostalgia.
Bye now……
We will meet again...
These two sentences were what he wanted to say most.
The game ended successfully.
The second work is not finished, the story in his hands just comes to an end.
※※※
The drizzle of rain fell on the courtyard corridor away from the venue.
The arched stone corridor is like an abandoned courtyard garden. The rose leaves stretched out in spring are gently dripping and swaying in the rain. In the mist, a figure carrying his own luggage quietly arrived at the promised place.
"This new chapter of the novel is very interesting to write."
Wang Hongberry, who had been waiting for a long time, sat on the armrest, smiled, and said to Li Yan, who came with a backpack: "In just a few tens of thousands of words, I have written everything that needs to be written. Even I can't read it." After seeing the emotions contained in this adapted novel, it turns out that the everlasting meaning of novels, both at home and abroad, is emotion."
The applause subsided, the game ended, and the audience dispersed. However, after erasing the last batch of souvenirs, this novel was well preserved by a writer with strong soul and spiritual power, and the existence of "Uesugi Yan" was preserved.
