super template

In addition to being accustomed to it, it is also related to the fact that most of the Japanese comics are black and white.The price of the manga magazine itself is quite low, and the price of a JUMP issue of more than 500 pages is only 240 yen.And if it is changed to color manga, the cost will increase all of a sudden, and the exorbitant price is very likely to be unbearable for the main buyers of military students.For the sake of commercial value, the major publishing houses had to adopt the black and white comic style as before.

The advantages of digital painting can only be brought into full play in color comics, so it is emphasized that almost all color illustrations have adopted this novel method, while black and white comics have little influence.

Seeing that Ying Lili had already entered into a state of full concentration on creation, Luo Ye did not bother, and took Lili, who was silent, to find a seat near the table next to her and sat down, turned on the computer and prepared to draw through the digital tablet.

Not long ago, he told Sonoko Machida that there was a channel to draw illustrations for Sword Art Online, but he was actually referring to himself.

Although both are painters, Luo Ye is an illustrator, while Ying Lili is a painter, there are still some subtle differences between the two.

"Master, you, don't you also think that I only eat like her, and then it has no effect and will only cause trouble for you?"

Lily couldn't let go of what she said just now, so she simply asked Luo Ye's opinion directly, waiting for a response a little nervously.Regarding this, the young man just smiled dumbly, and slowly expressed his thoughts.

"How could it be? First of all, let's not worry about whether it is a vase or not. Secondly, how can you just eat, isn't it quite capable? I remember that the restaurant was dirty at that time, and you still insisted Work hard to clean up with me. In the future, you will help me far more than this one thing, and I will remember it all in my heart. As for what Ying Lili said, you don’t have to care about it. She Living in a society where science is paramount, with little contact with you, it is only judged by superficial impressions."

To be honest, Lily's staying in Luo Ye's small restaurant is simply condescending, all her abilities are useless.Even so, she followed the knight's code and regarded Luo Ye as her master, even though the so-called contract had no binding force at all.Lily still put away her sword and armor, and acted as a little girl honestly, accompanying him without any complaints.

Really speaking, Luo Ye felt a little guilty in his heart, and looked at the girl with a complicated expression.But she didn't know it. Instead, she showed a relieved expression after hearing these words.

Afraid that she might still feel sorry, Luo Ye beckoned for her to come over, and then whispered into the girl's ear.

"Okay, then I'll get ready first, Master, please do your best!"

After listening to Lily, she was rejuvenated and energetic, and hurriedly left the room after saying so.

Luo Ye looked at the jumping figure who was leaving and couldn't help smiling slightly, and Ying Lili couldn't help raising her head and glanced after hearing the movement here, a little curious about what they were talking about.But she quickly turned her attention to painting, leaving no time for other things.

Time passed by so quietly, and there was no other movement in the room except for the sound of brush and paper touching.

After an unknown amount of time, Luo Ye felt her stomach growling in protest, so she had to put down her pen, leaned back on the chair and let out a long sigh.

Several illustrations have been drawn seven to eighty-eight, and the outlines of the frames are all there, only the adjustment and repair in the later stage.

His gaze inadvertently swept over Ying Lili.I saw that she even took off her shoes at some point, and put her exquisite jade feet on the chair, scratching her ears and scratching her cheeks while painting without any image, as if she was a big man who picked her feet.

"I'm going to prepare lunch."

Luo Ye stood up and spoke softly, but she was immersed in her own world as if she didn't hear it, completely unmoved by it, and her eyes even turned around like hallucinations.

"Take a break, there's no need to force yourself like this. Drink some water to moisturize your throat, and it's good to get up and walk, so that you won't be overwhelmed."

Luo Ye patted her on the shoulder anxiously to remind her, made a cup of tea and placed it on a table not far away that she could touch, and immediately walked downstairs.

He was busy in the kitchen for a while, and Lily came back excitedly from outside with a big bag that looked like a tennis ball.

"Master, everything is bought, we can start practicing directly this afternoon!"

"Thanks a lot."

Luo Ye nodded approvingly, and her thoughts could not help drifting to a few hours ago.

"Lily, I want to ask you about swordsmanship, can I?"

Although I am currently living in a civilized society ruled by law, I can't guarantee that I will travel to some weird world in the future.Luo Ye made preparations ahead of time, planning to learn a thing or two while Lily was still in reality.Even if you don't need it, it's good to keep fit.

Faced with his request, the girl naturally agreed with all her heart.

"Of course no problem, I will teach you well, Master."

Chapter 0056 Swordsmanship Practice

The setting sun is like blood, and lone geese are wandering in the sky dyed red by the setting sun. In the dusk, two figures can be vaguely seen running around the lakeside one after the other.

After a busy day, Ying Lili took the tram home after drawing nearly forty pages of manuscripts.It sounds like the progress is amazing, but there are still tedious tasks such as blackening, pasting dots, and background painting that have not been completed.What she means is to hand over these things to assistants, but the studio is just getting started now, so where does the financial resources come from?Therefore, Luo Ye can only take charge of the fight.

Taking advantage of the time before dinner, Luo Ye followed Lily out to exercise as scheduled.The first is the most common warm-up run. He thought it was quite easy at first, but he didn't expect Lily's speed to be astonishing.In order to catch up with her, Luo Ye had no choice but to speed up his pace, and in the end he was so exhausted that he couldn't lift his legs, he had no choice but to stop Lily who was running ahead and was still extremely vigorous.

"Master, is this not enough?"

The girl stopped immediately after hearing the call, and asked like a normal person.She didn't even break a drop of sweat. Luo Ye couldn't help but feel a little ashamed by such a disparity. Fortunately, he also knew himself, and after adjusting his mentality, he forced a smile.

It was evening, and the two were in a remote corner of the park.Unlike Emiya Shiro's family, Luo Ye can only have a special dojo for practice, so he can only come to this kind of place.Fortunately, there are not many people who are willing to go shopping in the park these days, and most of them are busy with their own business, so they are not so eye-catching.

Lily took out two extremely ordinary wooden swords from the bag she was carrying.She went out to help Luo Ye buy this today, and it took a lot of effort to do so. After running back and forth several times, she bought a few wooden swords that were similar in length and size to Caliburn in a kendo gym.

The total length of the sword is more than one meter, and it tends to be slender. It is made of peach wood with relatively good flexibility. It is cheap and easy to wear and tear, and its weight is far less than that of metal swords. It can only be used for practice.

"According to the present world's classification, my swordsmanship should belong to the ancient European swordsmanship. It is completely different from the Chinese swordsmanship and Japanese swordsmanship that you are more familiar with, Master. But in the end, they are all for defeating the enemy on the battlefield, so in my opinion Different roads lead to the same goal.”

Lily took advantage of the time when Luo Ye was resting and began to explain, with a careful and focused expression.She will be very serious about everything she promises, and she is even more unambiguous when teaching Luo Ye.The majesty of being a knight returned to her body again, with a heroic appearance, completely different from the usual cute little girl who was invisible from time to time.

"Swordsmanship can be roughly divided into five aspects. Footwork, sword holding, posture, attack, and defense. Master, if you are just dabbling, you have to start practicing from the most basic steps. Although I basically don't use it in actual combat To the footwork, but back then it was done one step at a time.”

Faced with Lily's strict requirements, although Luo Ye's scalp felt numb, he still followed them one by one with a wry smile, honestly practiced the most basic footwork, and mastered them roughly in a short time.

Lily didn't ask him to master it perfectly in one day, and she talked about the sword holding posture in sequence, even her delicate body was subconsciously clinging to Luo Ye without knowing it.

Two-handed swords usually hold the hilt near the guard with the dominant hand in front, and the non-dominant hand behind.There are no strict requirements, just how to do it.If you hold a sword with one hand, your arm span will be longer, and your attack range will be wider and more free, but the power of slashing will also decrease significantly.

"Master, you should try both methods. I am used to using two hands because I can fully display the power of the holy sword. Of course, sometimes I will use one hand. In times of crisis, I pay attention to adapting to the situation. The starting position can be roughly divided into the plow position, the bull position, the top position and the deception position, and the attack can be divided into chopping, stabbing, and dragging. Of course, various methods can be derived from it, and there is no need to stick to the rules."

Lily demonstrated one by one, exhorting them emphatically, Luo Ye nodded to show that she knew, and at the same time, she still remembered what she said.

In the story of Fate/Zero, that is, in the Fourth Holy Grail War, Saber was stabbed in the left hand by Lancer, a man with two brushes, with the cursed gun "the yellow rose that must be destroyed", which made her unable to hold the sword with both hands so that she exploded. No light cannon.

However, it is also worth noting that Lily does not seem to abide by the rules like Blue Saber in the fourth battle, blindly following the high-spirited chivalry.This girl seems to be quite clever and flexible.

This point made Luo Ye more interested, and with the idea of ​​exploring to the end, he asked.

"Lily, didn't you pay attention to romantic literature and art in your era? From your description, why can't you see the so-called chivalry at all?"

Hearing what he said, Lily's expression suddenly became solemn, and her tone was heavy, as if she was just talking normally.

"That's just what the bards sang. The so-called glory is piled on blood and corpses, and knights are just executioners who kill without batting an eye."

Just like Joan of Arc, who is called the saint by the world, she never admits it, but calls herself an executioner with blood on her hands.

Lily's ability to let go of the seemingly beautiful gimmicks and calmly face and accept the reality is also a remarkable growth in a sense.

"You can think so."

Luo Ye was also happy about the change in Lily's mentality, maybe it was because he was influenced by Urobuchi Gen and had a prejudice against the role of Artoria, completely forgetting that she was not such a stubborn and inflexible person at all. people.

After all, Xingyue is a world jointly constructed by different people, and it is inevitable that there will be deviations.The Fourth World War has been completely torn up by Nasu Kinoko, the creator of Xingyue, and defined as a slightly different parallel world.

Fate/Zero itself is a prequel to Fate/Stay Night, initially fan-like in nature.In addition to the inappropriate description of Emiya Kiritsugu, the author Urobuchi Gen, the portrayal of Artoria is even more collapsed, portraying a rigid knight king who does not know how to adapt, and recruits gangsters in various senses.Even out of some kind of personal bad taste, at the end of the story, he asked Matou Sakura to speak cold and heartless words to the tragic death of Matou Kariya, which deepened the overall dark and cruel atmosphere of the story.

The two practiced back and forth for more than an hour, and when the sun set, they packed up their things and headed home.

"Master, don't you live in a world on the technological side? Why do you still want to learn old-fashioned swordsmanship? Aren't guns and ammunition more powerful and easier to use?"

On the way, Lily asked out the doubts hidden in her heart.She wanted to ask this question ever since she knew that Luo Ye wanted to learn swordsmanship from her, and she didn't find a better opportunity until now.

Luo Ye smiled wryly, and told the reason for practicing sword directly based on the facts.

"No way, no matter whether it is China or Japan, the management of law and order is quite strict, even the control of knives is restricted. If you want to get guns, money is not enough, you have to have corresponding channels, so I can only practice It's a sword, isn't it?"

While talking, the night has already fallen, and a waning moon hangs in the sky.The street lights on both sides of the road lighted up quietly, reflecting their figures as if they were about to blend together...

Chapter 0057 Rejecting the Mission

After trying for a long time, no swordsmanship template came out. Although Luo Ye was disappointed by this, she was relieved soon after thinking about the super template saying that it is not omnipotent and should not be overly relied on since the very beginning.

Freezing three feet does not happen in a day, and the practice of swordsmanship cannot be achieved in an instant, so he is more or less mentally prepared.In addition, Lily is also a good teacher, almost impeccable in terms of teaching alone.I believe that under her careful teaching, even Luo Ye, who had no knowledge of kendo before, can gain something.

After the New Year's Day holiday, restaurants will resume business.After mastering a few common dishes proficiently, Luo Ye unceremoniously doubled the prices of the white-level dishes in the price list, calling it an upgrade of the restaurant.But in fact, it was just cleaned and decorated, the raw materials were bought a little better, and there was no essential change.

What followed was a sharp drop in passenger flow, which he also expected.Fortunately, Sakamoto and Kubota came to work part-time as scheduled, and the store in the afternoon was still overcrowded, with a large group of women who came to watch Sakamoto, and the profit increased instead of decreasing.

As for An Yilun, because of the evaluation of new works on the blog, he has no free time in the short term. These days, he basically stays at home and plays games all night long to catch up on dramas.

Knowing something about this guy's situation, Luo Ye didn't force it.Compared with the busy days before, he is undoubtedly much more relaxed now, but it does not mean that he is free.He has a full schedule, from the beginning of the sword practice in the morning to the end of the codeword in the evening, like a clockwork that has been spinning, without stopping for a moment.

And at the beginning of the month, good news came from Machida Sonoko, saying that the illustrations sent by Luo Ye met the requirements and could be used.Sword Art Online won the entry prize of this essay contest and will officially go on sale on January [-]th.With such quick efficiency, Luo Ye had to be secretly startled by the shrewdness of this woman.

"But you should also pay attention. Xiaoshi has a very stubborn temper, but she is trying her best to compete with you. She has been writing a bit crazy recently, and the second volume is half finished."

During the phone call with the good news, Machida Sonoko did not forget to give a special reminder to promote Luo Ye's creative motivation.She is happy with this kind of competitive relationship, and hopes that the two young people can continue to improve as rivals, instead of being satisfied because they published novels at a young age.

"Don't worry, my creative progress has not fallen behind. Just tell her that I have a chance to win, so I might as well save myself some snacks and just surrender."

Luo Ye probably had some guesses about her mind as an editor, and replied with a chuckle, mocking him over the phone.

Compared with other creators, as a shameless copywriter, he has a unique advantage, that is, he is familiar with the plot and characters.As long as it is transported according to the script, it is not difficult to say.And for the creation of the same person herself, Luo Ye has also repeatedly understood many works, and has a thorough grasp of them.

"I'm not your microphone. If you have something to say, you can just talk about it? Really."

Sonoko Machida complained, but she also knew that the two of them were not easy to deal with, so she obediently followed suit. After hanging up, she immediately called Kasumigaoka Shiwa, and recounted her work, which will also be published on January [-]. And added Luo Ye's lines.

"Arrogant guy, how could I lose to a business writer whose mind is all about making money?"

After hearing the news, Shi Yu's emotions inevitably fluctuated. She still attaches great importance to her debut as a love metronome, and she is not used to being looked down upon by others.

"Don't be so absolute. In short, it depends on how the market responds. I hope you both can succeed. But the editor-in-chief said that he is very interested in your work, and he strongly recommended it at the selection meeting."

Machida Sonoko hung up the phone after some encouragement, and started to confirm the specific matters about the serialization.

Shi Yu closed her eyes and gathered her black and beautiful hair with her hands, and gracefully hung it behind her ears, her lips curled up a little, as if she was sure of the final result.

And Luo Ye didn't know anything about the situation on her side, she was still doing what she should do, chatting familiarly with Ying Lili in the studio.

"The content of the first four episodes of Death Note has been drawn up. When we have time, we can bring the manuscript and outline to the JUMP editorial department for an interview."

"Too, too soon? Don't you want to prepare again? Why are you in such a hurry! It's not reincarnation!"

When Ying Lili heard him mention it suddenly, her tone suddenly became agitated and nervous, and she didn't speak very quickly.

"Could it be that you're afraid? That's not the case. After all, the famous Mr. Kashiwagi Eri, the skill of drawing erotic books is first-class. Are you still afraid of mere editors?"

Luo Ye looked at her with a half-smile, and deliberately said this to arouse her competitive spirit.And just as he expected, Ying Lili blushed immediately and blurted out without thinking.

"Okay! Just go, don't be afraid to sneak away when the time comes! I, I'm waiting! Also! How many times have I told you not to talk about eroticism! Soul is light!"

After throwing down such a sentence angrily, the girl immediately packed up her things and left the room as if fleeing.

Looking at her hurried figure, Luo Ye smiled and shook her head, and immediately dialed An Yilunye's phone number.

After a few beeps, the call was quickly connected, and the boy's slightly nervous voice came immediately.

"Hey, Mr. Luo, Luo Ye? What's the matter? Could it be that you have caused trouble to you by not going there recently?"

"No, don't be nervous. It's just that I recently wrote a light novel, which has already won a selection award and is expected to be published on January [-]. I hope you can give me a review then. Don't deliberately flatter, just write realistically, okay? ?”

"Of course it's all right, the title is."

An Yilun also couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief after listening to it. At first, she mistakenly thought that Luo Ye came to Qiuhou to settle the score.

"Sword Art Online, I will trouble you then."

Luo Ye didn't chat any more, and hung up the call after briefly explaining the matter.Unexpectedly, the notification sound of the super template suddenly sounded again at this moment.

"Trigger task: Help An Yilun and Ying Lili repair their relationship. Tip: Resolve the misunderstanding between the two. Reward: Green-level comics."

Hearing this, Luo Ye's expression suddenly became a little subtle.He closed his eyes and meditated for a moment, then opened them after a while, and said calmly: "Sorry, I don't plan to take this task, you can ask someone else."

Chapter 0058 Yamada Fairy

Time in the room seemed to stand still, but the super template was as calm as it was at the beginning, without even the slightest ripple.

It just fell silent after it calmly stated the task just now. After waiting in silence for a moment, Luo Ye couldn't help but secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and quickly thought and speculated in his mind.

In other words, isn't the template mandatory to complete the task?From this point of view alone, it is quite generous for him.He was not easily threatened with death, asked to do this or that, or restricted in his actions.

But the words can't be said so absolutely, who can guess what the wishful thinking of that unemotional guy is up to?Similarly, the example of Kewbi entrapping a group of girls is right in front of him.

At least they are still living together peacefully.Luo Ye is undoubtedly the one who least wants to tear his face.He sighed deeply and turned away from thinking about it.

After a few days of ordinary but fulfilling daily life, the time soon came to the day when he and Eirari agreed to contribute articles to Shueisha, and it was also the day when Sword Art Online and Love Metronome were officially released.

Fujimi Bunko has made corresponding promotions on the official website and offline bookstores. Although the recommendation of Sword Art Online is not very eye-catching because it only won the selection award, it has not been vigorously promoted, but it is better than nothing.In addition, Luo Ye also greeted An Yilun, a well-known ACG news blogger on the Internet, beforehand. It is estimated that some people will be able to pay attention to this work.

The finished novel had been printed and sent to the restaurant two or three days ago for him to have a look at. After a sign with the words 'Closed' was hung outside the restaurant early in the morning, Luo Ye took Lili and took the tram to the Shueisha headquarters as usual. Located in Chiyoda Ward.

There is a chill in Tokyo in the morning, the cold wind blows on passers-by, and white mist can be seen with a casual breath.Even so, there are still a large number of sleepy students and office workers crowded in the waiting hall waiting for the tram.

Standing at the place agreed with Ying Lili and waiting for a long time but she was nowhere to be seen, Luo Ye had no choice but to call her.

The bell rang for a while before the girl's flustered voice came.

"It's already seven o'clock? Hey! Why didn't I hear the alarm clock! I might have bought a fake alarm clock! Anyway, wait for me a little longer!"

On the other end of the phone, she could imagine that she just woke up from sleep, her clothes were disheveled, and she was hurriedly putting on her clothes. Luo Ye rubbed her aching head, and could only promise with a wry smile.
