The King of Elden's Multiverse Life

"Okay, let's go to Jump first. I'll have Kaguya make an appointment for you so you don't have to wait in line."

Given the Shinomiya family's status, doing this kind of thing is a piece of cake.

Eriri didn't really want to wait in line, so she didn't refuse and happily nodded.

Looking at Eriri snuggling against him, Luo Yu smiled and said, "Now that the manga is finished, you have some time, right? Come on, let's take a bath together."

"sure!"

Holding Eriri and grabbing a change of clothes, the two went straight to the open-air hot spring.

Just a few minutes after they went inside, Ichika, Utaha, Miku, and Ai also arrived.

Seeing four more people arrive at once, Eriri, who had just been planning to spend some alone time with Luo Yu, said dejectedly, "Ah, you've already sneaked over here! How did you find out?!"

Holding a towel, Ai stretched as she walked in and said with a smile, "I'm the head maid of this house, after all. I can easily spot who comes out. Besides, I was just thinking of taking a soak in the hot spring!"

Shiha, also wrapped in a bath towel, sat down next to Eriri and began to wash herself.

"That's right. I was cultivating earlier and I was exhausted. I needed the hot spring to relax, not to bother you."

""

Eriri gritted her teeth and said, "Forget about the others, do you think you have the right to say that?"

Utaha didn't answer, but instead untied her towel and began to wash herself under Eriri's envious gaze.

Eriri was envious, but she still stubbornly said, "Hmph, it's just useless fat!"

Meanwhile, on the other side, Xiao Ai personally began to help Luo Yu wash her body, truly bringing the work of a maid into every aspect.

Luo Yu knew Xiao Ai's personality, so he simply didn't stop her and quietly enjoyed the moment.

And so, Luo Yu and the girls enjoyed themselves in the open-air hot spring, and paid special attention to Eriri, who had worked hard on her painting and finally achieved results.

When they came out after washing up, Eriri was already fast asleep on Luo Yu's back.

Looking at Eriri's sleeping face, Ichika said with a smile, "Eri really can't handle it. She's exhausted in no time. She's still too weak!"

Xiao Ai agreed, saying, "Indeed, if someone is naturally slender and doesn't exercise enough, this is to be expected."

Although Ai's figure is quite similar to Eriri's, as a maid, she received all kinds of training from a young age, and she also underwent high-intensity work when she followed Kaguya. Therefore, in terms of physical fitness, she is completely incomparable to Eriri.

Ichika stretched lazily and said, "It seems Eriri needs to increase her exercise."

After returning to the main house, Luo Yu carried Eriri back to her room.

After putting Eriri on the bed and covering her with a blanket, Luo Yu saw the sketches she had laid out on the table, neatly stacked together.

At the top is a picture of the male protagonist standing in front of the kitchen counter in a restaurant, cooking for various otherworldly guests with different appearances. Some guests are drinking, while others are staring at the male protagonist's pot, but they all have smiles on their faces.

"Anotherworldly restaurant, I hope it goes well."

After turning off the lights, Luo Yu quietly left the room.

Meanwhile, Eriri, still in bed, pursed her lips, turned to her side, and remained immersed in a sweet dream.

It was getting late, so Luo Yu spoke with Letina and the others who were tidying up downstairs, then took his teacup and returned to his room.

In the bedroom, Yukino was sitting at her desk, looking at the books she and Kaguya had bought together at the library in Tokyo.

Hearing the door open, Yukino turned around and asked, "Are you going to rest?"

Luo Yu nodded, smiled, and walked over to hug Yukino from behind, rubbing his face against her long, fragrant hair.

"Of course not, isn't that what you're waiting for me with, Yukino?"

The temperature emanating from her ear was already familiar, yet Yukino still felt her heart race.

Turning her head and exchanging a glance with Luo Yu, Yukino sighed, "You really are tireless."

He picked up Yukino and carried her to the large bed. Luo Yu said with a smile, "Isn't that obvious? You are all so cute and charming, so of course I can't slack off at all. Besides, this is still quite easy for me, so don't worry about whether I can handle it."

Chapter 606 Serial Meeting (1/2)

The appearance of that three-headed giant wolf did indeed cause quite a stir.

Compared to the previous Shibuya incident and the Kyoto monster incident, although the damage was not as great, the three-headed giant wolf was so huge that it was more impactful than those news reports.

Furthermore, the battlefield traces left after the battle are clearly documented and made public, which further amplifies the sense of crisis and makes the discussion more valuable.

However, Luo Yu, who was the focus of the discussion, was not affected in any way.

After school on Tuesday afternoon, Luo Yu and Eriri went to Tokyo to submit their work to Jump's headquarters.

I only have time today this week. Tomorrow is the start of the Sobu High School cultural festival, so I won't have much time to come to Tokyo.

Sitting in the car driven by Letina, Eriri looked out the window and couldn't help but feel nervous.

"Yu-jun, do you think it will go smoothly..."

Luo Yu smiled and patted Eriri's head, looking at her and saying, "I've read your manga. It's very well drawn, and Shi Yu has also helped you build the story outline and such. You've also made full use of your imagination. You can definitely do it!"

After leaving Chiba, Luo Yu read the first three chapters of Eriri's manga in their entirety for the first time.

Just as he said, the painting is very well done, and it perfectly blends and presents all the inspirations he came up with.

With the help of Shiyu in shaping the world and creating the script outline, this is a very good start.

Encouraged by Luo Yu, Eriri's face also showed a confident smile.

"Yes, it definitely can!"

Fifteen minutes later, they arrived at the Jump headquarters building.

Looking at the building in front of her, Eriri felt confident, but she still couldn't help feeling nervous.

That's normal. After all, although Eriri is very popular in the doujinshi world, she is still a complete newcomer in the manga world. I guess there aren't many newcomers who wouldn't be nervous coming here.

After Letina parked the car, the three of them walked into the Jump building together.

As soon as I entered, a woman in a suit came to greet me.

"You must be Mr. Luo Yu and Ms. Sawamura. I'm an editor from the manga department. Welcome to our office."

Because Kaguya had contacted them in advance, Jump took it very seriously and sent an editor down to greet her.

Luo Yu nodded: "Thank you for your trouble."

After glancing curiously at Letina, who was dressed as a maid, the editor led the three of them to the elevator and up to the editorial department.

Because they were distinguished guests, the editor-in-chief and several key editors from the editorial department were already waiting in the conference room.

After the two sides introduced themselves, Eriri immediately took out her printed manuscript and handed it to the editors present.

When the editors received the artwork and saw the title of the comic, they were all somewhat surprised.

"Restaurant to Another World, a food-themed manga? The last popular one was Toriko, right?"

With these thoughts in mind, the editors opened the artwork together.

At first glance, the editors didn't have much of an impression of the restaurant's layout and the male protagonist's character design. Although the art style was good, a good art style is not enough to make a good comic.

With the opening of the shop, the editors finally became interested when the first customer came in—not a modern person, but an old man with a white beard dressed in a medieval robe and holding a long staff.

The three episodes weren't very long, so I finished reading them quickly.

However, after reading through the episodes once and understanding the world-building and basic plot, the editors carefully read through the three episodes several more times before finally putting them down.

The editor-in-chief also finished reading it around the same time, and his initial anxiety instantly subsided, replaced by a satisfied smile.

When the editor-in-chief was first notified that a young lady was going to submit a manuscript, and that even the head of the Shinomiya family had contacted him, he was quite uneasy.

He was really worried about what to do if the content was simply not up to par and didn't even have the potential to be serialized in other sister magazines.

Fortunately, none of these things happened. This manga is excellent in terms of character design and art style. Although the plot doesn't seem to be the adventure or action genre that Jump mainly promotes, the plot progression is quite good.

Just from the beginning, you can tell that this restaurant, which connects to another world, has a very special origin, and there must be something yet to be revealed.

Putting down the manuscript, the editor-in-chief looked at the editors who were still thinking and asked, "What are your thoughts on Sawamura-sensei's work?"

One of the editors was the first to answer: "Without a doubt, the manga's character designs and art style are exquisite and outstanding, and the depiction of the core of the manga, namely the food, is also perfect; every dish is drawn very well. As for the story, although it's only the beginning, I can tell that it involves many different worlds and revolves around this restaurant and its food. It's very good in all aspects, but the style is quite different for serialization in Jump. I suggest serializing it in a monthly magazine. Besides, there's no space available in the weekly magazine yet."

These words were echoed by several other editors.

Another editor looked at Eriri and asked, "Sawamura-sensei, I see that the characters appearing in this manga so far include adventurers, mages, and swordsmen. Will there be any battle scenes later on?"

Backup 2 qunba 9 (3) Research (6) Feed (4) Pomegranate Zero

Eriri immediately replied, "There will be, but the main character is a restaurant owner who also works as a chef. The battle scenes won't be on him, but on other supporting characters."

"I see, that makes sense then."

Afterwards, the editors asked some questions about the comic's plot and learned about some of the world-building settings that had not yet been developed.

However, Eriri still hasn't revealed the origins of this restaurant; that will be announced later.

After the Q&A session, the editors all gave Eriri's manga very high praise.

"Although it's not a traditional shonen adventure manga, it's not impossible."

"That's right, the drawing skills are very solid, and the introduction of the other world can develop a lot of stories later on, so it will definitely not be boring."

"Combat is also possible, and it doesn't have to be confined to one system. The style can be more varied, right?"

"That's right, even collaborations and the like are possible!"

Seeing the editors discussing so earnestly, the editor-in-chief smiled and nodded.

"Then let's have a vote on the serialization rights. Those who agree to serialize this manga in the weekly magazine, please raise your hands."

The editors looked at each other, then raised their hands together.

Chapter 607 Confirmed for Serialization, Good News (2/2)

Seeing this, Eriri, who was already preparing to serialize it in the monthly magazine, once again showed an excited expression on her face.

Could it be that?

After seeing the editors' decision, the editor-in-chief smiled and looked at Eriri.

"Well then, Ms. Sawamura, I have three more questions I'd like to ask you."

"Three? What are they?"

The editor-in-chief smiled and said, "First of all, Ms. Sawamura is still a student, right? A high school student. Can you keep up with the weekly magazine's update frequency?"

"no problem!"

Eriri answered without hesitation, "These three chapters were mainly because it was my first time trying this, so the process was a bit slow, but I'm basically familiar with it now. If it's going to be a full-fledged serialization, I'll put more effort into it, and weekly updates are no problem at all! I won't neglect my studies either!"

"So, the second question is, since you're still a student, your parents still need to be involved in signing the contract. Is that alright?"

"Of course, no problem! My mom is very supportive!"

The editor-in-chief nodded, knowing that there were no problems with the signing, and then asked one last question.

"So, the last question is about the pen name you'll be using for the serialization. Will you continue using the name Kashiwagi Eri, which you used before, or will you choose a new one?"

As soon as the question was asked, the editors around couldn't help but suppress their laughter.

As the editors responsible for reviewing the content, they were aware of Eriri's status in the doujinshi community beforehand.

When asked this question, Eriri showed an embarrassed and conflicted expression.

Finally, he could only look at Luo Yu, who hadn't said much, beside him.

Luo Yu smiled, patted Eriri's head and said, "Just do what you think is right, Kaguya and I will back you up."

Hearing Luo Yu's words, Eriri took a deep breath and nodded vigorously.

"I understand, Editor-in-Chief. I'll just use the name Kashiwagi Eri!"

The editor-in-chief smiled and said, "Okay, it's settled then. Although the weekly magazine is currently full, there's a work that's on the verge of being canceled, and we were going to have a meeting to discuss it this week anyway. So, the first chapter of 'Restaurant to Another World' is scheduled for three weeks from now, is that alright? As for the contract, we'll prepare it in the next couple of days. You can come find me whenever you're free."

After doing some calculations, Eriri said, "The school's cultural festival is tomorrow and the day after, so I'll come over on Friday!"

"Okay, let's set it for Friday then. You can leave the copies of the first three chapters here. Ms. Sawamura, please keep the original manuscript for now and bring it with you when you sign the contract next time. Oh no, I should start calling you Ms. Kashiwagi Eri from now on."

Although Eriri was somewhat prepared, she still felt a little uncomfortable being called by that name in public.

Fortunately, she managed her facial expressions well. After thanking the editor-in-chief and the other editors present, she left with Luo Yu and Letina.

Once outside the Jump building, Eriri finally breathed a sigh of relief and hugged Luo Yu tightly.

"Yu Jun, I did it! I did it!!!"

Luo Yu smiled and exchanged a glance with Letina, then gently stroked Eriri's back to comfort her.
