The King of Elden's Multiverse Life
Page 147
Shi Yu, who had been pressed against Luo Yu and gently rubbing her thigh against him, was startled by Qian Hua's sudden action.
Upon hearing that the other person was a fan of her books, Shiyu smiled and said, "It really is me. I didn't expect that Qianhua would also like my novels. Thank you for your support."
"Yes, yes, I love your books! I bought the second volume as soon as it was released! And I've already read it three times!"
Chika looked at Shiyu happily and asked, "When will the third volume of the novel be released?"
After thinking for a moment, Shiyu said, "Given the current situation, the publisher is planning to release it in October or November."
"So fast? That's great!"
In Japan, most light novels are released with a long interval between volumes; releasing a volume every six months is considered fast, and many don't even release a volume for a year.
In addition, some light novel authors can write three or four volumes a year when they first start publishing, but once they become popular and are adapted into anime or manga, their writing speed slows down, eventually becoming two volumes a year, or even one volume a year.
As for Shi Yu, she is currently in a phase where her inspiration is extremely abundant, so she doesn't need to worry about not being able to write.
Chika was very surprised when she heard that Utaha's plan for her novel was to publish four volumes and then directly adapt it into an anime.
"It's ending in four volumes? That's such a shame, it's such a great work!"
Shi Yu smiled and said, "The current result is indeed very good, but according to the original direction, it will probably be canceled before the third volume. The content of the second volume was only able to achieve this result after Yu Jun and Sister Lani gave me suggestions for revision. Four volumes is already the limit. It is a pure love novel for young people. If it is written too long, it will be tedious and there is no need for that."
After Shiyu finished speaking, Luoyu looked up at Qianhua.
"The first edition of Volume 3 is here."
A flicker of longing flashed in Qianhua's eyes as she looked at Shiyu's phone waving in Luo Yu's hand.
But the next second, Chika held back, gritting her teeth and saying, "Ugh! I really want to see it, but I have to hold back. I'll wait until it's released to see the full version!"
Shiyu found Chika's reaction quite interesting.
"Don't worry, once the sample is ready, I'll send you a copy directly, just don't send out the contents of the novel."
"Really? That's amazing!"
Watching Chika jump around and cheer, Shiyu whispered to Luoyu, "I suddenly feel like I could add a supporting character like Chika to my novel."
Luo Yu smiled and whispered in Shi Yu's ear: "You can observe more and you should be able to find more details that can be used on the characters in the book."
"Observe more?"
Shi Yu nodded thoughtfully.
Chapter 316 Qianhua's Gossip about the Harem (1/2)
When it was time to prepare dinner, Erina and her two friends naturally took over the kitchen, and no one else was needed to help.
However, Chika followed along out of curiosity.
Qianhua's mouth gaped open as she watched the three men wielding kitchen knives, their movements so fast they were almost blurry.
"Oh! Although I've heard my parents say that Totsuki Academy is very good at teaching the top students, I didn't expect it to be like this. Isn't that amazing?"
While quickly chopping vegetables, Erina smiled and said, "It's nothing. After all, it's just everyday cooking at home. There's no need for any exaggerated techniques. This is just routine operation."
"Standard procedure..."
Looking at the three of them, and recalling her own cooking practice in home economics class at school, Chika felt like she was disabled.
Fortunately, Chika was curious about many things and didn't pay much attention to the cooking skills.
Chika leaned closer to Erina and asked curiously, "So, Erina, are all three of you also part of Luo Yu's harem?"
Although Erina was a little shy, she nodded with a slightly flushed face and said, "That's right, that's exactly how it is. You're surprised, aren't you?"
Chika nodded repeatedly: "Totsuki Academy is a very prestigious school. As the eldest daughter of the Nakiri family, it's quite surprising that you would choose Luo Yu-jun. Well, although Luo Yu-jun is supposed to be very powerful, I only recently learned about superpowers and evil spirits, so I don't know exactly how powerful Luo Yu-jun is."
"I see. Then it's normal that you don't understand."
Since cooking doesn't require all her energy, Erina simply cooked while telling Chika about how she met Luo Yu and briefly describing Luo Yu's strength.
Chika was very surprised when she learned that Erina's God Tongue had a huge flaw and that it was cured by Rakuyu.
What surprised Chika even more was that she heard that a large-scale monster battle had occurred in Tokyo before, but it had been suppressed and not made known to more people.
Among these events, it was Luo Yu who directly intervened and instantly killed a monster leader from the four kingdoms.
As for the monsters that invaded the Far Moon Resort, they were dealt with by Lani and the others.
After hearing all this, Qianhua understood the situation to some extent.
However, having no prior dating experience and only having read romance novels, watched movies, and read magazines, she still didn't quite understand what love felt like.
But the next second, she saw a flame appear in Erina's palm.
"Huh? Erina-kun, you can do this too?"
Erina covered the steak that had just been placed in the pan with flames and nodded, "Isn't this normal? Fire-based prayers are very helpful for us chefs. They help us control the heat more precisely and also have better results in handling meat."
Hisako said from the other side, "Yumei didn't come today, otherwise you would have seen her use the flame in other ways while grilling meat. Among us, she is definitely the fastest in terms of research on flames."
Wow! That's impressive!
Seeing the aroma emanating from the flames, Chika couldn't help but swallow hard.
Realizing she could no longer stay there, Chika had no choice but to leave the kitchen temporarily.
Upon returning to the living room, Chika discovered that Kaguya was gone.
"Yukino, Yukino, where's Kaguya?"
Yukino, who was petting the cat, said, "I had something to do, so I went to the Round Table Hall with Yu-kun. I'll be back in a bit."
Meanwhile, Kaguya and Hayasaka Ai are in the Round Table Hall receiving guidance from Luo Yu, mastering the basics of magic.
After nearly an hour of initial meditation, Kaguya opened her eyes and felt as if she had been reborn. She had a different feeling when she looked around.
"Is this what it feels like to have magic?"
Shaking hands, Kaguya exclaimed with delight, "I feel like my physical strength has increased a bit!"
Luo Yu smiled and said, "That's normal. Magic has many uses. You'll gradually experience the changes it brings to your body in the days to come."
Hayasaka Ai woke up a few minutes earlier than Kaguya, and now that Kaguya was awake, Luo Yu led the two back to the villa.
Just then, Erina and the others finished preparing dinner, so it was time to eat.
Although she had enjoyed the lunch meal, after tasting a bite of Erina's cooking, Chika felt as if she had entered heaven and was tasting a delicacy that should not exist on earth.
Ah~~~ This feels so wonderful~~~
With each bite, Chika found herself unable to stop.
After taking a bite of the steak, Luo Yu looked at Erina sitting across from him and said, "Your cooking skills are getting better and better, Erina. Is the sauce a new invention too?"
Erina nodded happily: "That's right, it's a sauce that goes very well with steak. Grandpa and Mom couldn't find any fault with it after they tasted it. It's just that it takes a long time to cook and the process is a bit complicated. I'm still researching how to simplify it further."
"Me, me, me too! And mine!"
Alice picked up her chopsticks, took a piece of chicken coated in bright red sauce, and brought it to Luo Yu's mouth.
"Yu-kun, try this Sichuan-style spicy chicken I made! This chicken was specially bred by Yu-hime from the Polar Star Dormitory!"
Luo Yu didn't stand on ceremony and took a bite.
"Mmm! The chicken smells delicious, and the skin is nicely crispy. The sauce is also very well-balanced, with just the right amount of saltiness and spiciness. I never expected Alice, who wasn't very good at making spicy dishes before, to improve so much now."
"Hmph, this is nothing compared to Yu Jun!"
Seeing Alice's smug expression, Utaha whispered to Eriri, who was panting from the spiciness beside her, "They really are sisters. Erina is love-struck, and so is Alice."
"Good! 893 spicy! 964 spicy! 460 spicy!"
Taking a sip of her drink, Eriri glanced at Shiho dismissively and said, "Don't talk about others, aren't you the same way?"
"me?"
Shi Yu thought about it and realized that she was the same way. She didn't have much talent for cooking and could only make ordinary dishes after learning so far. Otherwise, she would definitely want to show off in front of Luo Yu.
Utaha tugged at Eriri's sleeve and whispered in her ear, "What are your plans for tonight? I'm thinking of making my move!"
""
Looking at Shiho's serious expression, Eriri couldn't help but retort, "Are you some kind of villain? Plotting some shady scheme. Go if you want, I'm not going tonight. I was exhausted last night, I need to get some rest."
Chapter 317 The Little Tricks of the Kyoto Yokai (2/2)
Although she had heard some of Eriri's accounts, Utaha still didn't have a clearer understanding.
Is it really that tiring?

Shiyu glanced at Luo Yu, who was chatting with Erina and the others, thought for a moment, then cut a piece of steak and chewed it.
Okay, eat more and save up some energy.
After dinner, Kaguya, Hayasaka Ai, and Chika went home.
Chika had originally hoped to stay overnight and have some fun with everyone.
However, Kaguya had to be wary of her own maid and prevent her from launching any further night raids, so she had to send Hayasaka Nao to drive over and pick up the three of them.
Hayasaka Ai immediately understood Kaguya's thoughts and had no objections. Anyway, there wasn't much time left, so let Miss Kaguya cause a little more trouble.
On the way back, Chika looked at Kaguya with a sullen expression and said, "Kaguya-chan, why are we going back so early? I wanted to play a little longer!"
Kaguya crossed her arms, glanced at the silent Hayasaka Ai, and then said to Chika, "You've been playing all day. It's time to get back to work. Don't forget what you promised your aunt and uncle. You haven't touched any homework since you came home from school yesterday. In particular, besides your schoolwork, you also have other assignments to complete, whether it's foreign languages or piano."
"Ugh... Can you please not talk about such unpleasant things?"
Chika leaned back in her chair, looking exasperated, and said, "Why do I still have to practice piano even though I'm already out here? And as for foreign languages, I already know five, but I still have to keep learning them."
Kaguya smiled and said, "Who told you to have such talent? If you don't explore it properly, it's unlikely you'll ever amount to anything. Just accept your fate."
"Sigh... never mind, there really isn't a chance today. Maybe next time. Besides, summer vacation is coming soon, then I can come and play more often!"
Kaguya was also looking forward to the summer vacation.
Besides Chika, I can come here more often too.
But seeing that Hayasaka Ai, who was still not saying much but had a smile on her lips, Kaguya's mood wasn't so good.
My own maid, whom I grew up with, is about to resign and go to work as a maid for Luo Yu.
No, we must produce some tangible results before she leaves!
Kaguya silently cheered herself up.
At night, Lena La was leisurely enjoying the moonlight outside, with Lani keeping her company.
Inside the house, however, it was bustling with activity.
Today, Qianhua brought several interesting board games, one of which can support more than a dozen people to play together. Everyone is now fully engaged, playing their respective roles in the game.
After a long game, it was already past eight o'clock.
Stretching, Eriri said contentedly, "Board games are really fun once you get into them. As expected of the board game club president, Chika-san's game is really interesting!"
After putting the things away in the box, Luo Yu looked at the girls and said, "It's almost time, everyone go take a shower. We agreed to go see a movie together later."
The girls nodded and went upstairs to shower in their respective bathrooms.
Luo Yu went outside, spoke with Lani and Rena La, and then headed to the Nura Clan's base in Chiba.
The garrison here changes regularly; this time, it's a group of monsters led by the Ox-Demon.
After meeting Ushioni, Luo Yu asked about the situation in Chiba City over the past two days.
Opening the map, Ushioni said, "Evil spirits and cursed spirits have indeed appeared much less these past two days, only a very few have shown up, and they're all newly born and very weak. The Nura Clan's small yokai can easily handle them. Next, we should try to find a way to suppress their birth. Luo Yu-kun, have you figured out a method yet?"
Luo Yu nodded and said, "We're still studying it, and it will take some time, but we already have a plan. In the meantime, let's clean up the surrounding area together and do regular checks."
"No problem, leave it to us."
As for Tokyo, the Nura Clan's headquarters, it's not a suitable place to do these things.
Firstly, because there are many sorcerers there, and many things are bound to happen, so the Nura Clan is not suitable to get involved.
The reason is that the yokai in Kyoto have begun to take action. Apart from the yokai stationed in Chiba, the rest of the main force is not suitable to leave their base.
Luo Yu was somewhat surprised after hearing what the Ushioni said about the yokai in Kyoto.
"You've made your move so quickly? It seems the situation is somewhat unfavorable for you. Your young master hasn't grown up yet. Nura Rikuo's current strength is definitely no match for Hagoromo Gitsune, and Nurarihyon can't sustain a long battle either. Although the Nura Clan has some powerful yokai, their top-tier combat strength is still insufficient."
Ushi-oni nodded and said, "That's true, but it's not a big problem. According to information from the Onmyoji families in Tokyo, Hagoromo-Gitsune shouldn't be taking action so soon. These personnel movements are probably just small tests. I just hope that our young master can hold on."
