Multiverse Anime, I Write Honkai Impact in Daily Life

"There's no point looking at me," Luo Yu took a sip of tea. "After all, stamina is a serious weakness. If you want to perform on stage, your current stamina just won't cut it."

"Hehe! Yui, stop struggling and train with me!" Ritsu Tainaka hugged Yui Hirasawa tightly, initiating a cute girl snuggle.

Speaking of which, Yui was a genius with perfect pitch. She learned the knowledge Luo Yu taught her very quickly.

But I remember Dumb Yui is single-threaded, and the midterm exams are coming up soon. Will she forget all of this then? Do I need to prepare to teach her again?

Luo Yu watched Yui Hirasawa eating like a hamster and decided it was best to prepare in advance.

Knock knock.

"Come in."

Luo Yu noticed the girls hadn't heard the knock, so he responded to the person outside.

"Hello, Teacher Hiratsuka sent me. Huh? Isn't this the Service Club?" A girl with pink dango-shaped hair walked in.

Isn't that Dumpling? You're making an appearance too.

Sighing internally, Luo Yu pointed the way for Yui Yuigahama.

"This is the Light Music Club. The Service Club you're looking for is over there." Luo Yu pointed towards Yukino Yukinoshita and Hachiman Hikigaya in the corner.

"Why is 'Squatter' here?" Yui Yuigahama said in surprise.

"Squatter"? Is she talking about me? Hachiman Hikigaya wondered, confused.

"You're Yui Yuigahama from Class 2-F, right? Please, have a seat first." Yukino Yukinoshita brought a chair over and said to Yui Yuigahama.

Yui Yuigahama obediently sat down.

"You know me?" Yui Yuigahama asked Yukino Yukinoshita.

"Because she memorized everyone's names in the entire school," Luo Yu whispered behind Hachiman Hikigaya. That terrifying memory is almost on par with mine.

"Hey! When did you get here?" Hachiman Hikigaya was startled by the voice suddenly appearing behind him.

"Sorry, sorry," Luo Yu casually brushed it off.

"No, I don't know the name of that person over there." Yukino Yukinoshita pointed at Hachiman Hikigaya.

"Is that so?" Hachiman Hikigaya became dejected.

"You don't need to blame yourself. If anyone's to blame, it's only me for being too weak and unable to face your existence directly."

Then, turning to the smiling Luo Yu, she said, "Luo Yu, isn't the Light Music Club over there? What brings you here?"

"Isn't it because this is the first time I've seen someone come to ask for your help? I'm curious. It shouldn't be a problem for me to observe from the side, right? Senior Yukino?" Luo Yu had a look of amusement on his face, after all, who wasn't a bit of a troublemaker?

Chapter 19: The Dark Cuisine World Needs Talent Like You

Yui Yuigahama finished reading the conversation between the few people and said excitedly, "It feels... like your club activities are so interesting!"

"Luo Yu isn't part of our club, you know," Yukino Yukinoshita said with a headache.

"If it's possible, Senior Yukino, you can consider me a member of the Service Club too," Luo Yu said with a smile.

"Hey! Luo Yu, are you betraying me?" Ritsu Tainaka couldn't stand it anymore and shouted at Luo Yu.

"Just kidding. Ritsu, I won't leave the Light Music Club," Luo Yu assured Ritsu Tainaka. "Besides, Hachiman and I are friends. It's okay for me to come find my friend for a chat, right?"

"I really don't want to be your friend right now," Hachiman Hikigaya said with resistance.

"How could you? Hachiman, are you betraying our revolutionary friendship?" Luo Yu widened his eyes and pointed at Hachiman Hikigaya in disbelief.

"When did we ever have a revolutionary friendship?!" Hachiman Hikigaya shot back sharply.

"As expected, you guys are really interesting. And 'Squatter', you talk a lot, don't you?" Yui Yuigahama exclaimed again, saying this to Hachiman Hikigaya.

"Huh?" Hachiman Hikigaya questioned.

"Ah, how should I put it," Yui Yuigahama tried to find the words. "Because 'Squatter' is completely different from how he is in the classroom. He's always sneaking around, and it feels kind of gross."

So Hachiman is like that usually. Hey Dumpling, can you tell me more about Hachiman? Luo Yu said subtly to Yui Yuigahama.

"Huh? Are you talking to me, Dumpling?" Yui Yuigahama pointed at herself with her finger, asking in confusion.

"Of course, you look just like a dumpling," Luo Yu replied. But the real reason is that I'm used to calling her Dumpling. Saying Yui Yuigahama feels awkward, Dumpling just rolls off the tongue better.

"I didn't expect you to be that kind of person, Luo Yu," Ritsu Tainaka said in disbelief.

"Luo Luo, H," Yui Hirasawa followed suit.

Hearing the girls' words and looking at Yui Yuigahama with her arms crossed, Luo Yu realized they had all misunderstood.

So he pointed at Yui Yuigahama's hairstyle and said, "Alright, where did your minds go? I'm talking about her hairstyle. Look, doesn't it look like a dumpling?"

The girls followed Luo Yu's finger.

"It really does, it looks just like a dumpling!"

"That's so mean!" Yui Yuigahama covered the dumpling-shaped bun in her hair and said, "I actually really like this hairstyle!"

"Ahem!"

Yukino Yukinoshita coughed twice, drawing everyone's attention.

"Let's stop the jokes for now. So, Dumpling, I'm sorry, Miss Yuigahama, is there anything we can help you with?" I almost slipped up and used her nickname! But the nickname Luo Yu gave her, Dumpling, really suits her.

"Actually, I want to make cookies for someone with my own hands." Yui Yuigahama glanced subtly at Hachiman Hikigaya, but no one noticed except Luo Yu.

"But I don't know how to make cookies, and Teacher Hiratsuka found out and brought me to you all."

"Are you giving them to your boyfriend?" Ritsu Tainaka chimed in. Behind her, the other three girls from the Light Music Club also approached.

It seemed everyone was interested in this matter.

"N-no. It's just a normal friend." Yui Yuigahama said, fidgeting with her hands behind her back.

"Oh, a normal friend, huh?" Ritsu Tainaka continued to tease.

"In any case, let's head to the home economics classroom first."

While the girls were teasing Yui Yuigahama, Yukino Yukinoshita made the decision.

Home Economics Classroom.

"Alright, Yui Yuigahama, let's see you make one first." Yukino Yukinoshita tied the apron for Yui Yuigahama.

She turned and asked, "So, everyone from the Light Music Club, why did you follow us?"

The girls from the Light Music Club looked embarrassed. Luo Yu replied, "To join the fun? How could I miss out on something so interesting?" After all, how could a fun-loving person like him miss this scene?

"Fine, you can all be taste-testers once the cookies are done," Yukino Yukinoshita said helplessly.

Then, Yukino Yukinoshita signaled for Yui Yuigahama to start making the cookies.

A short while later.

A plate of black carbonized material appeared before everyone.

"How could you make so many mistakes?" Yukino Yukinoshita was quite exasperated.

"Ritsu, these cookies can't be eaten, right?" Yui Hirasawa asked, looking at the black charcoal in front of her.

"Don't be silly, Yui! This stuff is definitely not edible!" Ritsu Tainaka replied excitedly.

"We're supposed to be taste-testing, aren't we? Isn't this like trying poison?" Hachiman Hikigaya picked up a piece of the black charcoal and examined it for a moment.

"Where's the poison!" Yui Yuigahama snatched the black charcoal from Hachiman Hikigaya's hand, wanting to defend her work. After observing it closely for a moment.

"It really is poisonous, isn't it."

"Crunch!" A chewing sound echoed in the home economics classroom.

Everyone looked over and saw Luo Yu had picked up a piece, put it in his mouth, and was chewing.

"Hey, hey, Luo Yu, you're really eating it." Ritsu Tainaka looked tense.

"Luo Yu, are you okay?" Mio Akiyama also asked worriedly.

The other girls then expressed their concern for Luo Yu.

"Don't worry, they're made of ingredients. It won't kill anyone no matter what. I think no matter how it looks, you have to taste it to give a proper evaluation." Luo Yu said after swallowing the cookie in his mouth.

"So, student Luo, how is it?" Yui Yuigahama looked at Luo Yu with sparkling eyes.

"Dumpling, you have talent." Luo Yu said to Yui Yuigahama with a serious expression. "From now on, you'll learn cooking from me."

"Call me Yui, please! But, I have cooking talent?" Yui Yuigahama was very surprised.

"Is that true?" Everyone was astonished by Luo Yu's words. This charcoal-like thing, could it really be delicious?

Just as Yui Hirasawa picked up a piece, preparing to taste it herself.

Luo Yu continued, "Yes, with my guidance, you'll surely have a place in the Dark Cuisine World in the future!"

His words startled Yui Hirasawa, who quickly put down the piece of charcoal in her hand.

"That's so mean! But is it really that bad?"

"Mhm. Extremely bad. I don't even know how one could make something this awful. Never mind, I'll make one too. Dumpling, you work on it with me, and let's see exactly where the problem lies."

"Huh? You can cook, Luo Yu? We didn't know." Ritsu Tainaka asked doubtfully.

"Didn't I tell you?" Luo Yu recalled his time with the girls from the Light Music Club. It seemed he had never shown that he could cook.

"You never said!"

"Then don't you know now?"

Chapter Twenty: Commission Completed

Three cookies were placed before everyone.

One was exquisite, unlike anything ordinary. One was plain. One was charcoal.

That's right, these cookies were made by Luo Yu, Yukino Yukinoshita, and Yui Yuigahama, respectively.

"Delicious!" Yui Hirasawa picked up Luo Yu's cookie and took a bite.

"Huh? Really? Then I'll try it too."

Then, the girls picked up Luo Yu's cookies and started eating them.

"How many times do I have to teach you before you learn!" Yukino Yukinoshita held her forehead with her right hand, looking quite distressed.

"Seriously, Yui, how did you manage this? Every step was the same as us, so why did yours all turn into charcoal?" Luo Yu also felt helpless.

Although I knew Yui's cooking skills weren't great, I didn't expect that even my Level 5 culinary expertise couldn't save her.

"I suggest Yui doesn't participate. We could just buy pre-made ones instead," Hachiman Hikigaya said, comparing the cookies he was eating, made by Luo Yu and Yukino Yukinoshita, as he proposed a solution to the root of the problem.

"Is that how you solve problems?" Yui Yuigahama shouted loudly at Hachiman Hikigaya, then looked at her own creation and began to doubt herself.

"Do I really have no talent for cooking?"

"Talent? The only way to solve problems is through effort. Yui, you're saying you have no talent, right?" Yukino Yukinoshita said while cleaning the kitchen utensils. "You need to abandon this idea. At least, those who haven't even tried to put in the effort have no right to envy those with talent."

"But everyone isn't cooking by hand now, it feels like it's not fitting in to do this," Yui Yuigahama tried to refute Yukino Yukinoshita with her own logic.

"Why should you try to please others? Everyone is the protagonist of their own life. Isn't it enough to just do what you want to do? As long as you convey your effort to the person you want to convey it to, isn't that enough?" Luo Yu glanced at Hachiman Hikigaya and couldn't help but interject.

Seeing this in his past life, Luo Yu felt angry. Why deliberately try to please others? Isn't it better to be yourself? Just for so-called friends?

Although Luo Yu knew this was Yui Yuigahama's own decision, he still hoped she could change a little.

"What classmate Luo Yu said is correct, classmate Yui," Yukino Yukinoshita stopped what she was doing.

"Could you please abandon this habit of trying to please those around you? It makes me very unhappy. Don't you feel ashamed to blame your own clumsiness and foolishness on others?"

So strict!

The girls from the Light Music Club had never seen Luo Yu like this before. As for Yukino Yukinoshita, the girls were already used to her attitude.

Yui Yuigahama, on the other hand, lowered her head, hiding her eyes under her bangs, and remained silent. It made everyone worry if she would just burst into tears and run out of the classroom.

"So... so cool." Yui Yuigahama looked up.
