Multiverse Anime, I Write Honkai in Daily Life

"Um, hello. I'm Satou Kazuma."

Sadistic Kazuma? Weren't you supposed to go to another world? Why were you still attending school here?

Though Luo Yu thought that, he still introduced himself.

"Hello, I'm Luo Yu."

Flame Chasers

"Everyone, quiet down! Get back to your seats!" Just as Luo Yu and Satou Kazuma finished introducing themselves, a female teacher entered the classroom and shouted loudly.

Luo Yu looked at the female teacher on the podium, and the corner of his mouth twitched. He had considered the possibility, but he hadn't expected to run into her this quickly.

The female teacher on the podium wore a women's suit with a white lab coat draped over it.

"My name is Hiratsuka Shizuka, and I'm your homeroom teacher. Next, we'll choose the class representatives. Once the bell rings, we'll go attend the opening ceremony. That's all."

Class 1-A's class representative election was underway. Luo Yu had no interest in becoming a class representative, so he watched from the sidelines the entire time. When the bell rang, he got up and headed for the school auditorium. The opening ceremony was being held there. School supplies

Fortunately, Private Integrated High School had ample funding, and its auditorium was large enough. Otherwise, it might not have been able to fit all the new students.

"Don't tell me we have to listen to those leaders ramble on with nonsense for half the day again?"

"What else did you expect? Hasn't it always been like this ever since we were kids? You should be used to it by now."

People in the crowd were complaining too, but this was tradition—the fate no student could escape. Perhaps decades from now, the people complaining now might become the ones giving speeches onstage.

"Still, opening ceremonies really are boring. Prometheus, keep me company." Luo Yu began chatting with Prometheus in his mind.

"The first volume of 'Honkai: Fire Moth' is nearly finished. Where do you think the first volume should end, Prometheus?"

"Based on my analysis, it would be best to end the first volume when Kevin and Dr. Mei join the Flame Chasers. It would establish the novel's title while leaving behind suspense. That would draw readers' interest."

"Is that so? That's exactly what I thought. I already wrote up to the outbreak of the Third Honkai Outbreak last night. I should be able to finish the first volume when I get home tonight. Prometheus, do you think people in this world will like Honkai's story?"

"I don't know. Human emotions are too complex. I cannot give you an accurate answer. But I think they probably will like it. After all, it was written by you—events that they personally experienced and that truly happened in that world." School supplies bookshelf

"Thank you, Prometheus."

"You're welcome, Captain."

Time quietly passed during Luo Yu's conversation with Prometheus.

"Classmate, the opening ceremony is over." A sudden voice interrupted Luo Yu and Prometheus's conversation.

Luo Yu looked around and realized that most people had already left. He then thanked the seemingly airheaded girl in front of him.

"Thank you, classmate."

"Hehe. It's nothing, it's nothing." The girl scratched the back of her head and said with a foolish grin.

That girl from earlier looked strangely familiar. Luo Yu thought that while walking back to the classroom. In the end, he still reached no conclusion.

After returning to the classroom, Luo Yu discovered that Hiratsuka Shizuka was not there. After asking around, he learned that there would be no more classes for the rest of the day. The remaining time had been left for the students to get acquainted and familiarize themselves with the campus.

Luo Yu had no intention of talking to strangers, so he started chatting with the people he was somewhat familiar with—Satou Kazuma and Kirigaya Kazuto. As they talked, they discovered that the three of them had similar interests and hobbies. In the end, they had a great conversation and added each other on Penguin Account.

After school, Luo Yu said goodbye to his two new friends and quickly headed back to his villa.

Once home, he rushed straight into his bedroom, turned on his computer, and entered writing mode.

Time swiftly passed as Luo Yu focused wholeheartedly on writing.

"Ahhh." Luo Yu stretched. "Finally finished. Prometheus, what time is it now?"

"It is currently 6:42 p.m., Captain."

"Not bad, it's not too late. The first volume is done, so I'll organize it and send it to Sonoko. Oh, and I'll add the outline I threw together. Let me look for it... found it. Send. Okay, done. Let's see what's in the fridge. Time for dinner."

Meanwhile, far away at Shonen Bunko.

"Ah! Why have there been so many trashy new submissions lately? The writing is bad, the logic makes no sense. It feels like they just cobbled together enough words and submitted them." Machida Sonoko lay sprawled across her desk as she spoke gloomily. Bookshelf

"Well, Senior, isn't that normal? Ever since Teacher Meng Yu burst onto the scene, more and more people have begun writing light novels. They all think they'll become the next Teacher Meng Yu." Toki Kenjiro said from beside her.

"The next Meng Yu, huh? Forget it, never mind them. How are things on your side?" Machida Sonoko got up and asked Toki Kenjiro.

Toki Kenjiro said, "What?"

"I mean the people you're in charge of."

"Same as always. The late ones are still late, especially that siscon Izuki. In the end, only Teacher Masamune can submit his manuscript on time." Toki Kenjiro said with a headache. "What about you, Senior? Aren't you in charge of Teacher Meng Yu? And that promising newcomer, Teacher Kasumiko—I remember she's under your care too?"

"Shiyu has writer's block lately. As for Teacher Meng Yu, ever since 'The Wandering Traveler's Return' ended, he hasn't revealed a single thing about his new book to me."

Ding...

Machida Sonoko looked at her computer. Bookshelf

"Senior, what is it?" Toki Kenjiro asked with concern.

"It's a message from Teacher Meng Yu. This is Teacher Meng Yu's new book! An entire volume's worth of content!" Machida Sonoko said excitedly.

"What? Teacher Meng Yu's new book?"

"I think I heard someone say Teacher Meng Yu has a new book!"

"Where? Where? Let me see!"

Because of Machida Sonoko's shout, everyone in the editorial department gathered around.

Machida Sonoko said, "Shoo, shoo, get lost. If you want to read it, wait until it's published and buy it yourselves."

After chasing away the gathered crowd, Machida Sonoko sat down and began reading the novel.

Title: "Honkai: Fire Moth"

With that naming convention, was Teacher Meng Yu planning to write a series? Machida Sonoko thought to herself, then continued reading.

Honkai, a natural disaster that emerged alongside the development of civilization...

Time passed as Machida Sonoko read. The first volume of "Honkai: Fire Moth" did not actually contain much content. Since Luo Yu had chosen to end it with the Third Honkai Outbreak and Kevin and Mei joining the Flame Chasers, most of the first volume depicted Kevin and Mei's daily lives at Senba Academy.

"Teacher Meng Yu is incredible." After finishing it, Machida Sonoko let out a sincere sigh. "Judging from the outline he sent me, this was clearly a passionate, orthodox adventure novel. Luo Yu had made a few slight adjustments to the outline. Yet if you didn't read this first volume to the end, everyone would probably think it was a youthful romance novel."

I should let the editor-in-chief take a look. Thinking that, Machida Sonoko printed out a copy of the manuscript and carried it toward the editor-in-chief's office.

New Book Presales Begin

"Excuse me for interrupting." After entering the room, Machida Sonoko addressed the person at the desk.

"Editor Machida, what brings you here?" Fujiwara Aki asked the visitor.

"Editor-in-Chief Fujiwara, this is the new book Teacher Meng Yu just sent over. Please take a look."

"Teacher Meng Yu finally wrote a new book? Let me see." Editor-in-Chief Fujiwara then skimmed through it at astonishing speed.

"As expected of Teacher Meng Yu, the quality is as high as ever. Judging by the title, he intends to write a series. Editor Machida, is Teacher Meng Yu planning for this new book to be a long-running work?" Editor-in-Chief Fujiwara asked Machida Sonoko.

"Based on the outline Teacher Meng Yu sent me, it should be a long novel," Machida Sonoko replied.

Editor-in-Chief Fujiwara said, "I see. Then sign Teacher Meng Yu's new book under the same terms as 'The Wandering Traveler's Return.'"

"Editor-in-Chief, do you have that much faith in Teacher Meng Yu's new book?" Machida Sonoko asked. Bookshelf

"I've always believed in Teacher Meng Yu himself. Editor Machida, aren't you the same?"

"That's true. After all, it's Teacher Meng Yu." Machida Sonoko sighed.

"Alright, go call everyone in for a meeting. We'll discuss the release of Teacher Meng Yu's new book together."

"Sunny, cheerful young man, sunny, cheerful young man." A ringtone interrupted Luo Yu's writing rhythm.

"Hello? Who is this?"

Machida Sonoko said, "Teacher Meng Yu, it's me."

"Sonoko, you're calling me now—has my new book passed review?" Luo Yu asked.

"It has. After discussion by the entire editorial department, the editor-in-chief has decided that 'Honkai: Fire Moth' will go on sale next Saturday. Let me congratulate you first, Teacher Meng Yu. But I'm calling now to let you know in advance. Starting tomorrow, the publishing house will begin promoting 'Honkai: Fire Moth.' We'll need your cooperation on your end as well. Please." Bookshelf

Machida Sonoko continued, "I nearly forgot. Will the illustrator still be Teacher Prometheus this time?"

"That fast? You really have a lot of confidence in me. You need me to help promote it, right? Got it. Of course the illustrator is still Prometheus. Is there anything else? If not, I'll get back to writing."

"Nothing else. But keep up the writing, Teacher Meng Yu. And good night." Machida Sonoko teased before hanging up.

Tch, that old leftover woman. I don't even feel like writing anymore. But illustrator Prometheus...

"Prometheus, you don't mind me using you as my illustrator pseudonym, do you?" Luo Yu asked Prometheus in his mind.

"It does not matter. I do not mind, Captain," Prometheus replied.

This went back to when Luo Yu had first started writing light novels. In the beginning, the illustrations for his light novels had been directly generated by Prometheus. Although he did not know why Prometheus had become the system's intelligence, she could still be used like an artificial intelligence in reality.

That was how Prometheus had handled all the early illustrations for "The Wandering Traveler's Return." It was not until Luo Yu's painting skill reached Painting LV5 that things changed. After reaching Painting LV5, Luo Yu drew all the illustrations himself. However, he had continued using Prometheus as the illustrator's pseudonym.

Forget it. I'll play some games for a while.

Opening the Tencent group he had created today, Luo Yu typed a few words.

Luo Yu: Queue up?

Kirigaya Kazuto: I'm logging in!

Satou Kazuma: Count me in!

The night passed just like that.

"Kazuma, you don't look too good." During lunch, Luo Yu said this to the absent-minded Satou Kazuma.

"It's nothing. Didn't I play games with you guys last night?" Satou Kazuma replied with a yawn.

Kirigaya Kazuto said, "Didn't we stop at 11:30 and go to sleep? Though I did keep playing alone until one."

Satou Kazuma said, "Yeah, Kazuto, you kept playing by yourself. After we finished, I thought I'd play just one more match and go to bed if I won."

"Alright, no need to say any more. I already know the reason." Luo Yu interrupted, saying, "Kazuma, if you don't mind me asking, what time?"

Remembering last night's miserable ordeal, Satou Kazuma answered tremblingly, "Four!"

Luo Yu and Kirigaya Kazuto exchanged glances. In the end, both could only helplessly pat Satou Kazuma on the shoulder. Everything was understood without words.

"By the way, Teacher Meng Yu has a new work out. Did you guys know?" Kirigaya Kazuto suddenly said.

"I know, I know. The new book seems to be called 'Honkai: Fire Moth,' right?" Kazuma continued the topic. "But we have to wait until next Saturday to buy it. I really wish time would pass faster." Bookshelf

The promotion had already begun? Thinking so, Luo Yu took out his phone and began searching for news. He found that the news had already spread everywhere online. The earliest post was on Luo Yu's Weibo, where he had posted a message that morning:

Hello, everyone. I'm Meng Yu. My new book, "Honkai: Fire Moth," has been signed and will go on sale next Saturday. I hope you'll like it. Thank you all for your support. Bookshelf

What followed was Shonen Bunko's extensive promotion.

"Honkai: Fire Moth"

Teacher Meng Yu's newest masterpiece. The prince of Senba Academy and a mysterious, beautiful young scientist. A youthful romance story about daily life at Senba Academy?
