The King of Elden's Multiverse Life

Nino said with a flushed face, "I've seen them before at the pool in the Totsuki Resort, but this is the first time I've touched them like this. Their abs are really hard."

Seeing Nino leaning forward, with the large fruit swaying slightly, Luo Yu found it very pleasing to the eye.

Moreover, he discovered that the five Nakano sisters were not only the same height, but also had almost identical fruit sizes, making them truly amazing quintuplets.

The most obvious difference is in May.

As the biggest foodie among the five sisters, it's impossible to say that eating so much every day has no effect.

It wasn't noticeable when I was wearing my school uniform, but now that I'm in my swimsuit, although the difference isn't huge, my thighs are a little thicker, and I also have a bit more soft flesh around my waist.

After changing into her swimsuit and arriving at the pool, May carefully compared herself with her friends before jumping into the water without hesitation and starting to swim, trying to burn more fat.

Seeing Luo Yu's gaze lingering on her, Nino was shy but mostly delighted. At least she was still quite attractive in Luo Yu's eyes!

However, Luo Yu wouldn't allow any further intimate gestures.

Gently taking Nino's increasingly enthusiastic little hand, Luo Yu put the phone away and led her back into the water for another swim.

At 5 p.m., as Luo Yu, Letina, and Yukino came out of the pool to prepare for the barbecue party that evening, Yang Nai finally drove Shi Yu and Machida Sono back to Chiba.

Watching the car drive into the manor gate, Machida Sonoko said with envy, "What a huge manor! I can't even dream of owning a place like this. I wonder if I'll ever be able to buy a decent villa in my lifetime. If that doesn't work, a high-end apartment would be an option."

Haruno, sitting in the driver's seat, chuckled and said, "If you become the editor-in-chief, I think you still have a good chance, Machida. As for Utaha, the money you've earned from the two volumes of your novel should be enough to buy a house, right?"

Shiyu nodded and said, "If we don't want to buy a very big house, a normal two-bedroom apartment is perfectly fine. But it's not necessary. We paid off the mortgage on our house two years ago, and it's more than enough for the three of us. I'll keep this money for now."

Shiyu's father has a good job and has been getting promoted and earning money over the years. The family is not short of money and does not need to change houses. If they were to change houses again, they would have to buy a bigger villa.

Looking at the author she had mentored, Machida Sonoko felt extremely envious.

Besides Shi Yu's writing ability, what I envy even more is that she met Luo Yu and achieved success in both her career and love at a young age.

As for Luo Yu building a harem, it's utterly insignificant compared to his other advantages.

Upon arriving at the residential area, the car stopped.

After getting off the car, Machida Sonoko saw Letina, dressed in a maid outfit, come out through the open door.

Although she had heard about it from Haruno and Utaha earlier, Machida Sonoko was still incredibly surprised to see the maid in person.

Wow, I've managed to snag a ride today and get to experience the life of a super-rich person.

Chapter 266 Barbecue Party (1/2)

Following Letina into the house, Machida Sonoko looked around curiously, only to find that there was no one in the living room except for a cat curled up and resting on the sofa.

Just as she was about to ask where he had gone, Machida Sonoko saw Luo Yu coming out of the kitchen wearing an apron.

"Editor Machida, welcome to visit!"

Machida Sonoko immediately replied with a smile, "Luo Yu-kun, I'm sorry to bother you today~~ I didn't expect you to be in the kitchen."

Luo Yu nodded: "The others are still by the pool and won't be out for a while. I'll prepare the seafood first. I just got here by car, so let's rest for a bit. We can start dinner in a little while."

After Utaha and Machida Sonoko sat down, Letina brought them tea.

After taking a sip of tea, Machida Sonoko glanced curiously at the kitchen, then looked at Haruno and asked, "Miss Haruno, where did you find that maid? She's so pretty."

Yang Nai smiled and said, "Letina has always followed Yu-jun; she wasn't found somewhere."

"Oh...is that so?"

Machida Sonoko nodded, thinking to herself that birds of a feather flock together; Luo Yu is so handsome, so his maid must be incredibly beautiful too.

Five minutes later, accompanied by the sound of doors opening and footsteps, the girls who had been playing by the pool gradually returned.

"Wow, they really are quintuplets!"

Looking at the Nakano quintuplets in their colorful swimsuits, Machida Sonoko's eyes widened. She then leaned close to Utaha and whispered, "Utaha, you have a lot of competition! Quintuplets, they're really invincible!"

Shiyu agreed in her heart. The quintuplets did have a great advantage, but they really weren't competitors.

After seeing Lani walk out slowly at the back, Shiyu also pulled Machida Sonoko over.

"Sister Lani, I've brought Editor Yuanzi along today to bother you!"

Lani glanced at Machida Sonoko and nodded slightly: "Welcome, have fun. Utaha, they're planning to play in the pool tonight. The swimsuit you picked out last time is still in the closet in your room. You can change into it if you want. As for Editor Machida, I kept some swimsuits in different sizes that Haruno had someone bring last time. You can take a look."

"Thank you so much!"

After Lani went upstairs to change her clothes, Machida Sonoko patted her chest and said, "Although Miss Lani looks petite, she has a surprisingly imposing presence!"

Shiyu nodded in agreement: "Lani-jie is really amazing. Okay, let's go help too. Yuanzi-jie, don't even think about eating and drinking for free."

Don't worry, it definitely won't happen!

Upon arriving at the kitchen, the two helped Luo Yu move the prepared ingredients and skewered meat to the courtyard.

In the courtyard, Luo Yu had already asked Letina to prepare three barbecue grills, one large and two smaller ones.

The large one is for grilling large skewers and large seafood, while the two smaller ones are for everyone to grill their own smaller skewers to enhance the experience.

Soon, the girls who had gone upstairs finished showering and changing their clothes, and came to the courtyard together, which suddenly became lively and bustling with activity.

May couldn't wait to get close to Luo Yu. Looking at the skewers of grilled meat that Luo Yu had already put on the barbecue grill, she couldn't help but swallow.

How long will it take to get better?

Luo Yu smiled and said, "These skewers are quite large. If you're in a hurry, you can take some smaller skewers and grill them over there. The meat quality is the same for all of them."

Although she was craving the grilled skewers here, May ended up going to the other side, getting a few small skewers, and grilling them herself.

Besides Luo Yu, Letina was also helping out at the large barbecue grill. The two of them worked together, and the barbecue was prepared quite quickly.

In no time, two large platters of barbecued meat and seafood were ready.

Sprinkling on the special barbecue seasoning taught by Erina, the aroma immediately filled the air, and everyone gathered around to choose the barbecue meat they wanted to eat.

"Wow! What a huge grilled squid!"

Looking at the large pieces of grilled squid laid out flat on skewers, May picked one up and said, "It's too big to eat straight, let's divide it up?"

Nino took the scissors and cut the grilled squid into small pieces, placing them on a plate for everyone to enjoy.

Machida Sonoko, who was visiting for the first time, quickly settled in, happily eating skewers in one hand and beer in the other.

Luo Yu, carrying beer and skewers, approached Shi Yu and Machida Sonoko, and asked Shi Yu, "How's the progress of the third volume of the novel?"

Utaha nodded happily: "That's great! Based on the outline I've compiled so far, I can write four to five volumes of the complete story. Any more than that would be unnecessary. And with the current sales, the publisher is already considering an anime adaptation. Five volumes would be enough to make two seasonal anime series, each with 24 episodes."

Machida Sonoko, her face already flushed, excitedly said, "It's basically confirmed! But production won't start until November. The production team has other projects on their hands right now and doesn't have time. Hahaha, I've finally made it big! One of my authors has finally gotten the chance to be adapted into an anime! Utaha, you have to do your best! I'm really looking forward to you becoming our publisher's most amazing author!"

"Are you drinking too much?"

"No way, I only drank half a can!" Machida Sonoko said happily, shaking the beer in her hand. "Just telling the truth, Shiho, you really are the most talented light novelist I've ever seen in your age group. If you continue to develop your career, your future is limitless. Even our editor-in-chief says so!"

Faced with Machida Sonoko's flattery, even the kind-hearted Utaha felt a little shy.

He quickly grabbed a skewer of grilled meat and stuffed it into Machida Sonoko's mouth.

"Just eat, stop talking so much!"

"woo woo woo woo!!!"

At that moment, Eriri also walked over, each carrying a skewer of grilled meat.

Seeing the beer in Luo Yu's hand, Eriri asked curiously, "Yu-kun, is the beer good? Let me try some!"

"Are you sure you want to drink this? You might not like the taste."

As he spoke, Luo Yu held the beer to Eriri's lips.

Seeing the interaction between the two, and Eriri's way of addressing Luo Yu, Shi Yu couldn't help but narrow her eyes.

It seems that my friend and collaborating artist has been hiding a lot from me.

Seeing the beer Luo Yu handed her, Eriri immediately noticed the many gazes around her, but she still smiled, opened her mouth, and took a small sip.

"Cough cough cough! What a strange smell!"

Sticking out her tongue, Eriri looked at Luo Yu with a smile and said, "As expected, it's not suitable for me."

Luo Yu took a tissue and wiped Eriri's mouth, then said, "You should go drink some juice."

Chapter 267 Night, the Operation Begins (2/2)

Luo Yu never gets drunk on beer, no matter how much he drinks.

Aside from Luo Yu and Machida Sonoko, only Haruno was drinking beer.

For barbecues, neither red wine nor sake is really suitable; beer is the best choice.

With so many people, the plates of barbecue were almost finished in no time. Luo Yu put down his beer and continued to grill meat for everyone.

"Yu Jun, let me help you."

Nino, wearing a cool sundress, walked over, tied her long hair into a single ponytail, picked up a skewer of meat, and helped Luo Yu grill it.

"Aren't you going to play with them?"

Nino glanced at her sisters playing games and said with a smile, "No need, we've been playing in the pool for a long time, and we don't have much energy left for playing around. Besides, there's still so much meat to grill, and you and Letina won't be able to handle it all."

Standing next to Luo Yu, Nino was in a very good mood despite the smoke from the charcoal fire. As she watched the meat on the skewers in her hands slowly cook, she hummed a song.

Shiyu also grilled two skewers of vegetables. After taking a bite, she saw Nino standing next to Luo Yu and whispered to Eriri, "Eriri, what's going on with Nino? Is things progressing so fast?"

Eriri nodded and said, "That's right, Nino and Yu went on a date a few days ago, so things are naturally progressing quickly!"

There was no dissatisfaction in her words. After all, she had already taken a crucial step, especially since she was in the same class as Luo Yu. At school, they could secretly interact with each other, which was enough to make Eriri happy for a long time.

Hearing Eriri say that, Shiho pursed her lips unhappily.

"So, Eriri, what did you do this time? Did you use your experience as a fan artist to directly win over Luo Yu-jun?"

"No way!" Eriri glared at Shiyu, her face flushed, and said softly, "But, it was just a kiss, nothing special."

""

She said it was nothing special, but looking at Eriri's smug expression, Shiha knew that she was definitely having a great time.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Looking at the skewer in her hand, Shi Yu took a big bite.

After the lively barbecue party, all the prepared ingredients were eaten up.

They had a great time while eating, but afterwards, the girls all felt a weight crisis. After resting for half an hour, they changed back into their swimsuits and went to the pool to swim.

Although Machida Sonoko didn't go swimming, she changed into a well-fitting purple one-piece swimsuit and comfortably lay on a lounge chair.

"This is life..."

While Machida Sonoko was enjoying herself comfortably, Luo Yu brought Eriri, who had called home to confirm that she would be staying there that night, over.

“Editor Machida, you’ve had a few drinks tonight, so why don’t you stay here for the night, just like Utaha?”

Machida Sonoko immediately sat up and looked at Luo Yu, asking, "Was this too much of a disturbance?"

Luo Yu led Eriri to sit down on a recliner nearby and said with a smile, "It's okay, everyone else is staying overnight anyway, and there are plenty of guest rooms at home, so just relax and settle in. When it's time to go back tomorrow, I'll have Letina drive you. It's the weekend, so just enjoy it."

Machida Sonoko said happily, "Then I'll take my leave! Oh, this place is really comfortable. It's made me realize another wish besides getting promoted to editor-in-chief: to buy a big house!"

Luo Yu nodded: "That is indeed a big dream, and you'll have to work hard to achieve it. I heard from Shi Yu that you, Editor Machida, want to try for the editor-in-chief position after the current editor-in-chief gets promoted?"

Machida Sonoko scratched her cheek a little embarrassedly: "Shiyu told you, didn't she? She does have that idea."

"People strive for better opportunities, there's nothing wrong with that, and it's not a bad idea. Besides, with Shiyu's connections, it would be great if you, Machida, were the editor-in-chief. After all, although I'm a shareholder, I don't go there most of the time, so I'll have to rely on you for support."

After thinking for a moment, Luo Yu said, "I'll mention this next time I go to the publishing house. As long as you, Editor Machida, do your job well in the future, there shouldn't be any problems."

Upon receiving Luo Yu's reply, Machida Sonoko excitedly said, "Thank you so much, Luo Yu-kun! I will take good care of Shi Yu!"

Luo Yu smiled and nodded, then stood up with Eriri in his hand.

"Then Machida, you can rest now. Eriri, let's go swimming."

"Ugh! I don't want to go..."

Unfortunately, Eriri was eventually dragged into the water by Luo Yu.

Five minutes later, after swimming a lap and getting plenty of exercise, Shiwa came out of the pool and walked to Machida Sonoko's side wearing a black bikini.

"Did Luo Yujun tell you?"

Machida Sonoko nodded and said with a smile, "Thank you, Shiho!"

Shiyu took a sip of her juice and said, "It's nothing. After all, we've had a pretty good working relationship, and your becoming the editor-in-chief is also beneficial to me. So, how do you plan to thank me?"

"Ugh?"
