The King of Elden's Multiverse Life

Nakano Ichika, whose complexion wasn't very good at first, couldn't help but swallow hard and blush after smelling the fragrance.

"I suddenly feel like I have an appetite!"

Hisako also noticed Nakano Ichika's condition and looked at him, saying, "Ichika-kun, you don't look well. Are you sick?"

Ichika Nakano nodded and said, "I just recovered from a cold, but I don't have much of an appetite."

Hisako smiled and said, "Then you're in luck. The medicinal cuisine I made today is mainly appetizing and easy to digest. Have some soup first."

Hisako's half-doctor instincts were aroused, and she personally served Nakano Ichika a bowl of soup.

"Thank you!"

Taking it, Nakano Ichika took a small sip and immediately felt much better.

"It feels so warm and cozy, and the discomfort is almost gone!"

Looking at the dishes on the table, Ichika Nakano felt her appetite return and started to crave them.

As for Nakano Satsuki, who was standing to the side, she had already picked up her chopsticks and started tasting the food, constantly exclaiming in surprise.

"This, this meat is so delicious, it's sweet and sour!"

"This is Guo Bao Rou (sweet and sour pork) from Chinese cuisine. After researching it, I used the best pork tenderloin and paired it with a special sauce. It's absolutely delicious!"

Erina hadn't done much research on Chinese cuisine in the past.

However, after guiding Luo Yu to like Chinese food, he also started to pick up various recipes and begin learning.

With her talent, she naturally mastered many Chinese cooking skills in a short period of time, and she has already mastered some classic dishes.

Half of the lunch I made for you today was Chinese food.

Chapter 151 Eriri Under Great Pressure (1/2)

In the real world, Erina and her friends' cooking, while not as exaggerated as in the anime (with its clothes-ripping and drugging effects), still left the girls blushing and incredibly satisfied after a meal.

Touching her slightly protruding belly, Nakano Satsuki looked at Erina and Hisako and said, "Erina-san, Hisako-san, your cooking skills are amazing! Especially since you're both so young, your cooking skills will definitely become even more amazing in the future! When you open a restaurant in the future, I'll definitely go there every day!"

Luo Yu took a sip of hot tea and said with a smile, "Then you probably won't have a chance. If nothing unexpected happens, Erina will take over as the headmaster of Totsuki Academy, and Hisako will be her assistant. They probably won't open a restaurant on their own."

"Oh? Is that so? What a pity."

Erina smiled and said, "It's pretty much like what Luo Yu-kun said. I will probably take over my grandfather's business, but that day is still a long way off. Maybe before I take over, I will open my own shop to try it out and experience it."

Erina had indeed thought about opening a restaurant and was quite looking forward to it.

However, the restaurant she's going to open will naturally not be an ordinary restaurant; it will definitely be a high-end restaurant.

Then, as the head chef, I only accept a small number of reservation customers, while the other guests are handled by other chefs in the kitchen.

Most of the restaurants opened by graduates of the Far Moon world operate in the same way.

Nakano Ichika gently patted her cheek, then looked at Luo Yu and the others and said, "Thank you so much for inviting me today. I feel much better after eating, and I should have the energy to continue teaching this afternoon."

Luo Yu smiled and said, "It's good that you've recovered. Being sick is indeed quite tough."

Nakano Satsuki nodded affirmatively: "That's right, that's right. After Nino got sick, no one in the family cooked. None of us are very good cooks, so we can only order takeout."

Luo Yu looked at her and said, "Since you really like eating, you should learn some cooking skills."

Nakano Satsuki blinked and looked at Luo Yu, saying, "If I remember correctly, Luo Yu can cook too, right?"

Luo Yu nodded and said, "I can indeed make some, but it can't compare to Erina and the others. It's just home-style cooking."

Erina also commented, "Luo Yu's cooking skills are actually sufficient for an ordinary family, and in terms of knife skills, Luo Yu is top-notch. There are few chefs in Totsuki Culinary Academy who can compare to him."

Luo Yu's knife skills are indeed outrageous. Erina saw him once before, cutting various vegetables and meats. The efficiency and neatness of the cuts were far superior to those of even experienced chefs.

Erina considered her knife skills to be quite good, but she was still a bit inferior to Luo Yu.

Luo Yu smiled at this.

Back in the border region, he had used all sorts of swords and other weapons and was very skilled at them. Now that he's back to everyday life, using a kitchen knife is a piece of cake for him.

Meanwhile, Nakano Ichika also looked at Luo Yu with curiosity.

Today was the first time she had met Luo Yu in such an environment; the last time was in the cafeteria with her friends.

After getting to know him better, Ichika Nakano understood why Nino had such a good impression of Luo Yu.

He has outstanding looks, a good height, and is completely different from other boys his age that I've seen before.

There were just too many girls around, including students from Totsuki Academy and the two young ladies from the Totsuki family, who were in charge of the Nakiri clan.

Not even mentioning the two Nakiri ladies, Yukino Yukinoshita alone is someone Nino can't compete with.

I wonder how Nino's unrequited love will ultimately turn out.

After lunch, Erina and Hisako went back, without any intention of staying to tour the area.

Luo Yu and the others also returned to their respective classes.

As soon as I entered the classroom, I saw Eriri sitting in her seat, looking exhausted.

After sitting down, Luo Yu looked at Eriri and said, "Sawamura-kun, have you been very tired lately?"

With a sigh, Eriri turned around and whispered, "Isn't it all because of you?"

"kindness?"

Seeing Luo Yu's surprised expression, Eriri also realized what was going on. She blushed and shook her head, quickly explaining, "I mean, because of your recommendation, I have another job now, the kind where I signed a contract and can't back out, so of course I'll be tired!"

My schoolwork, plus preparing new doujinshi for the summer doujinshi convention, are actually not too bad when you combine the two things.

But now she has an additional job as a light novel illustrator, which requires her to constantly communicate and coordinate with the authors. In order to better complete her work as an illustrator, Eriri even spent two nights staying up to finish reading the first volume of Love Metronome.

With three jobs combined, Eriri found it hard to have any energy; the pressure was just too much.

Luo Yu smiled and nodded: "You must be working really hard. How's the illustration work going?"

When Luo Yu asked about her illustration work, Eriri's expression immediately changed.

Looking at Luo Yu with a thoughtful expression, Eriri then said, "It's alright. Although it's my first time working as an illustrator, I've drawn quite a few similar fan art pieces before. Also, Kasumigaoka Utaha's requirements are quite clear, and she doesn't express vague ideas, so communication wasn't difficult, and things went quite smoothly. In another two days, the first draft will be completed. And I only found out yesterday that you're actually a shareholder of Shinazugawa Publishing, and a major shareholder at that."

Luo Yu smiled and said, "I only recently became one, and I don't have any management ideas. I basically delegate everything to the publishing house to operate on its own, and at most I just assign some people to keep an eye on things. If you're interested in being an illustrator, Sawamura-kun, I can arrange a couple more good novels for you later. Being a fan artist isn't a long-term solution."

Eriri waved her hands repeatedly: "Let's talk about assigning me tasks after the doujinshi convention in the summer. I don't have the mind for that right now. I'm so busy that I don't even have time to watch anime or play games!"

"Really? What games do you like to play, Sawamura-kun? I don't play games much, but I do play them occasionally."

Eriri was very happy to see that someone was willing to talk to her about games.

After carefully glancing around, he leaned closer and whispered, "I'm an omnivorous gamer; I basically buy any new big release! I'm currently playing Metaphor Fantasy, but I haven't opened it since last week. And Atlus is really unambitious; after several years of development, the game's graphics are still outdated."

Luo Yu vaguely remembers this game.

After Lani was introduced to turn-based RPG games, Luo Yu recommended Persona from Altus to her.

After finishing Persona 5 Royal, Lani bought the newly released Metaphorical Fantasy and has already completed it.

As for Luo Yu himself, he had only just started playing and hadn't really gotten into the game yet. He was busy researching Lani's new body, so he had temporarily put the game aside.

With such heavy workload and studies, she still has to play time-consuming JRPGs. No wonder she's a hardcore otaku, Eriri.

Chapter 152 Kasumigaoka Utaha's Invitation (2/2)

After chatting with Luo Yu about the game for a while, the school bell rang, and Eriri happily turned back to listen to the lesson attentively.

Although it was only for a few minutes, it was a rare opportunity for Eriri to chat with someone about games in the past two weeks, which made her very happy.

When Eriri finished her two afternoon classes, her phone rang. It was Kasumigaoka Utaha, the light novel author she had just met.

Seeing that it was her calling, Eriri grabbed her phone and ran out of the classroom to answer the call.

Three minutes later, Eriri ended her call with Kasumigaoka Utaha.

After returning to her seat in the classroom, Eriri hesitated for a moment before turning around to look at Luo Yu, who was scrolling through his phone, and asked softly, "Luo Yu-kun, do you have time on Sunday?"

After asking the question, he cautiously glanced at Yukino over there.

"kindness?"

Luo Yu glanced at Eriri in surprise, then replied, "If it's Monday, Friday, or Sunday, you should have time, right? What's wrong?"

Eriri shook her phone and said, "I just got a call from Kasumigaoka Utaha, asking me to meet up on Sunday. She knows you and I are classmates, so she wanted me to ask if you were free on Sunday so you could come along. She wants to hear your opinion on her novel, saying she gave you a copy before. If you haven't read it, I'll just refuse her."

Did Kasumigaoka Utaha invite you?

Luo Yu nodded and said, "As for 'Love Metronome,' I did watch it, but I haven't finished it yet. There's only a little bit left at the end. I'll finish it tonight. Is the invitation from Ms. Kasumi Shiko to go to Tokyo?"

"Yes, go directly to the publishing house."

Luo Yu rubbed his chin, thinking he should have some time.

Tomorrow, Saturday, Erina and the others will come to check on Erina's tongue of God and guide them in prayer. One day should be enough.

I don't know if they will stay in Chiba on Sunday, but if they do, Lani will be able to guide them.

So Luo Yu agreed.

“Sure, let’s meet on Sunday. Anyway, I’m a shareholder in the publishing house, so I can go anytime. I’m also quite curious about how Kasumi Shiko will write her next novel.”

After Luo Yu agreed, Eriri glanced curiously at Yukino, who was already looking over, before taking out her phone and sending a message to Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was still waiting.

Kasumigaoka Utaha breathed a sigh of relief after learning that Luo Yu had agreed to come.

She didn't know what she was thinking, but she actually extended an invitation.

Moreover, in the revised version of her novel, Eriri referenced Luo Yu's appearance in part of the male protagonist's design. If he finds out, I wonder what will happen to Kasumigaoka Utaha.

Fortunately, Luo Yu agreed. I'll talk to him when we meet on Sunday and apologize. If he's not satisfied with the improved character design, I'll have Eriri redraw it.

After speaking with Kasumigaoka Utaha, Eriri looked at Yukino who was looking over and whispered, "Um, Yukinoshita-san, would you like to come along on Sunday?"

Yukino blinked and said, "Let's talk about that later. I might not have time. Don't worry, I don't have any objections."

Seeing Yukino's magnanimity, Eriri was relieved.

After all, these two are dating, and I'm going to take Luo Yu to see Kasumigaoka Utaha. Even I would find that guy's figure lewd, so I can't guarantee that Yukino won't have any ideas.

She didn't want her own issues to cause problems in their relationship.

The school bell rang, and the teacher arrived in the classroom to begin the lesson.

Unlike usual, after class started, Yukino not only listened to the lecture, but also used her phone to send messages to Luo Yu.

Yukino: [What does Kasumi Utako, the novelist, look like?]

Upon seeing Yukino's question, Luo Yu's lips curled up slightly.

I initially thought Yukino didn't care, but now it seems she does.

Luo Yu: [Quite pretty, about as good-looking as you.]

Yukino: [I feel like you're implying something. Is there something different about you besides your looks?]

Luo Yu didn't hide anything and told him directly.

Luo Yu: [To put it simply, in terms of figure, she's better than Yang Nai and about the same as Xiao Hua, but her temperament is more mature.]

Upon seeing this, Yukino's eyes twitched slightly.

As for her figure, it's a topic Yukino has always been reluctant to discuss, since she doesn't really have any advantages in that area.

Moreover, she's even better than her older sister, on par with Xiaohua?

If I remember correctly, that Kasumi Shiko is also a high school student, right? How did she grow up to be like that at her age?

Yukino felt that she might need to go and see for herself.

Seeing that Yukino no longer replied, put her phone back in the drawer and started listening to the lesson, Luo Yu smiled, used magic to shield himself from the teacher's senses, and continued with his research.

During dinner, Haruno, who was taking classes in Tokyo, returned home.

"Everyone, I'm back!"

As soon as they came in, Yang Nai happily ran over, gave each of the three a hug, and then went to wash her hands to prepare for dinner.

After sitting down at the restaurant, everyone ate together, and Luo Yu talked about his plans for Sunday.

"Oh? Did Kasumi Shiko invite him?" Yang Nai didn't care too much. Just from the last moment of their date yesterday, when she and Luo Yu were alone in the apartment, Yang Nai knew that Luo Yu was not someone she and the Yukino sisters could handle.

Even if we add Ranie, who can recover in the future, and Miko and Alice, who have their own ideas, it will still be the same.

As long as the girl's background, appearance, and personality are all acceptable, Yang Nai will not object.

In this respect, Haruno can be said to be more open-minded than Yukino.
