Multiverse Anime, I Write Honkai in Daily Life

Honestly, when Luo Yu saw the message Shonen Bunko had posted and the comments beneath it, he could not help admiring the people at Shonen Bunko. Looking at their promotion, if Luo Yu had not known the plot, he might have been fooled into thinking Honkai was a youthful slice-of-life story.

"Hey, Luo Yu. What are you looking at?" Satou Kazuma asked Luo Yu.

"Nothing. Didn't I hear you guys talking about Teacher Meng Yu's new book? So I looked up some information online," Luo Yu replied.

"Luo Yu, you like Teacher Meng Yu too?" Kirigaya Kazuto said from the side. "But we still have to wait until next Saturday. Damn it, why can't tomorrow just be next Saturday?"

"If you want to dream, go home and do it. Get ready, class is about to start," Luo Yu said mercilessly to Kirigaya Kazuto.

And just like that, a week passed. Every day, aside from going to school and writing, Luo Yu spent his free time gaming online with his two useless sons.

Then Saturday, the release day, arrived.

Flame Chasers Goes on Sale

Early Saturday morning, Katagiri Jin arrived at the entrance of the bookstore. Katagiri Jin was a loyal fan of Teacher Meng Yu. Ever since the first volume of The Wandering Traveler's Return, he had collected every single volume without missing one. Today, Teacher Meng Yu's new book was being released, and he was the first to arrive at the familiar bookstore to line up.

Not long after, the bookstore opened. The moment Katagiri Jin entered, he saw Honkai: Fire Moth displayed in a highly conspicuous spot. Katagiri Jin directly bought three copies. Following the ancient rule, one was for reading, one for evangelizing, and one for collecting.

After paying, Katagiri Jin hurried home, intending to share it with other netizens after finishing the novel.

Sitting before his computer desk, Katagiri Jin placed the newly bought novel on the table and tore open its wrapping. What greeted his eyes was the back of a silver-haired young man holding a Baseball Bat. Opposite him stood a monster as tall as a small building, covered in Pink White coloring and Purple Red Stripes.

"Didn't people online say this was a youth romance novel? The cover doesn't look like it." Katagiri Jin looked at the cover and thought, Forget it. I should see what it's actually about.

Changkong City, Senba Academy, library. Mei was reading when a faint discussion suddenly came from nearby.

"Look at that bookworm. She's reading again."

"Exactly. Every time we come to the library, she's sitting there reading. Doesn't she have any other hobbies?" The two girls whispered beside her.

Mei did not care about other people's comments. After all, they were telling the truth.

Mei attended Senba Academy in Changkong City, Far East. Because her father was a world-renowned electromagnetic physicist, she had been influenced by him since childhood and made becoming a scientist her goal. As a result, Mei had little interest in anything other than studying.

Every day, she was either reading or on her way to read. Thus, Mei had become the bookworm acknowledged by many people in her class, and even throughout the academy.

But even Mei had recently gained a new worry.

"Mei, Mei. So you were here. I've been looking everywhere for you." A tall boy with short silver hair and a Sunny Cheerful Smile called out to Mei.

"Kevin, this is a library. Please be quiet," Mei said, looking at the boy before her.

The person standing before Mei was Kevin, a transfer student who had arrived some time ago. With his handsome appearance and exceptional athletic ability, he quickly became a prominent figure at Senba Academy and was called Prince Charming by all the girls in the school.

During this time, girls constantly confessed to Kevin, but he rejected them all. From the first moment he saw Mei on the day he transferred here, Kevin had fallen in love with her at first sight.

In order to pursue Mei, Kevin learned many methods and employed many tactics. The result was... all of them were ignored by Mei, who was focused on studying.

But heaven did not disappoint those who worked hard. Under Kevin's relentless efforts, Mei gradually became accustomed to having someone constantly by her side.

And so, through day after day of companionship, Kevin slowly entered Mei's heart. Although Mei still did not quite understand what love was, she believed that if she truly fell in love with someone one day, that person would definitely be Kevin.

"So, Kevin, why were you in such a hurry to find me?"

Kevin took out two tickets and said, "Didn't I invite you to Eden's concert last time? Here, I managed to get the tickets."

"Aren't tickets for Eden's concerts hard to get? It must have been difficult for you to get two."

"Haha, it wasn't difficult, not difficult at all." Kevin recalled how he had obtained those two tickets. "Su, my good brother, help me out. I promised to take Mei to Eden's concert, but I couldn't get even one ticket!" Kevin had pleaded tearfully with his best friend over the phone.

"Fine. I happen to have two tickets here. I was originally planning to go with you. I'll mail them to you later. You can go with Mei instead," Su said helplessly to Kevin.

"Thank you so much, Su. I'll definitely treat you next time," Kevin thanked Su excitedly.

"You should just enjoy yourself with your Mei. Goodbye." With that, Su hung up.

Back in the present, Su, if you ever need anything, your brother will definitely help you, Kevin swore inwardly before speaking to Mei.

"Mei, are you free that day?"

Mei thought for a moment. "I'm free that day."

"Yes, great!" Kevin said excitedly to Mei. "Then let's go to Eden's concert together."

"Sure. Let's go together," Mei replied.

Seeing this, Katagiri Jin picked up his cup and took a sip of water. Wasn't this completely a youth romance novel? Katagiri Jin thought. But Teacher Meng Yu really wrote well. The awkward sweetness between Kevin and Mei, as well as their usual interactions, was quite interesting.

Should he check the online reviews for Teacher Meng Yu's new book? Forget it, he should not look yet. What if he got spoiled? Better keep reading the novel.

Thinking that, Katagiri Jin continued reading.

On the day of Eden's concert, Kevin and Mei arrived at the venue on time. As the concert began, Kevin started cheering wildly while Mei quietly listened to Eden's singing beside him.

"How is it, Mei? Eden's songs are good, right?" Kevin asked Mei.

"They really are good," Mei replied.

"Then if we get the chance, let's come listen together again next time." Kevin looked at Mei expectantly.

"We'll see if there's a chance."

As they talked, the two walked back to school.

What followed was Kevin and Mei's youthful daily life at Senba Academy. (Although Luo Yu described their story in detail in the text, I won't write it out here. If you want to know what happened, go watch a romance anime. It was more or less the same.)

And so, time passed day by day. Kevin thought he would become boyfriend and girlfriend with Mei, attend university together, then marry and have children. He thought they would live out the ordinary life of ordinary people.

But everything changed from that day onward.

"You damned corpses, stop blocking the way!" Kevin swung his Baseball Bat and smashed apart the head of the moving corpse before him.

"Mei, are you alright?" Kevin asked Mei beside him with concern.

"I'm fine, Kevin," Mei replied.

"What the hell is going on? Everything was normal, but when we woke up, everyone was dead. These monsters are everywhere too." Kevin complained. "The broadcast said all of Changkong City is like this now."

"Let's head out of the city first, Kevin. Changkong City is too dangerous right now," Mei said to Kevin.

"I know... Damn it! Mei, go first. I'll hold this thing back."

Before he could finish speaking, Kevin saw a massive monster charging toward them.

Kevin raised his Baseball Bat and rushed toward the monster, hoping to buy Mei some time.

Bang! A loud crash rang out, followed by the monster collapsing.

Before Kevin could react, someone patted him on the shoulder. A voice sounded beside his ear.

"Not bad, kid. You dared face a Tank-class Honkai Beast alone with a Baseball Bat."

Club

"Honkai Beast?" The unfamiliar voice brought Kevin back to his senses. "You know those monsters?"

Kevin looked at the man with short light-blue hair before him, hoping to get an answer.

The man did not answer Kevin's question. Instead, he walked toward Mei.

That action reminded Kevin of Mei, and he hurriedly looked in her direction. He saw a group of people in black surrounding and protecting her.

At that moment, the light-blue-haired man spoke. "Miss Mei, we have come to invite you to join our organization."

"Join your organization?" Mei asked in confusion.

The light-blue-haired man then explained to Kevin and Mei what Honkai was and why they were inviting Mei to join their organization.

It turned out that the disaster in Changkong City was caused by the Third Honkai Outbreak. Half a year before the outbreak, Mei had published a paper on quantum mechanics. That paper caught the attention of an anti-Honkai organization under the United Nations, the organization the light-blue-haired man belonged to, and they judged her to be a genius seen only once in a century.

That was why they had come to Changkong City today to rescue Mei.

After hearing the full story, Mei thought for a while before deciding to join the organization.

After seeing Mei make her decision, Kevin did not want to leave her, so he asked the light-blue-haired man, "Can I join you too?"

The light-blue-haired man said in surprise, "You want to join us? Then you can only be an ordinary soldier. You might die."

"It's fine. I'm not afraid," Kevin answered firmly.

The light-blue-haired man looked at Kevin, followed his gaze to Mei, and glanced back and forth between the two several times. Then he smiled. "Is that so? Then welcome, rookie. My name is Hen. Perhaps I'll become your superior someday."

"By the way, what is the name of your organization?" Kevin suddenly asked curiously.

"Ah, didn't I say? Seems like I didn't. Then listen carefully, rookie. Our organization is called: Flame Chasers."

Phew... Katagiri Jin let out a long breath. He had finally finished it. Looking only at the first half of the volume, he had thought it was a youthful slice-of-life novel. But with all those later settings, this Honkai stuff, and Kevin becoming a soldier... wasn't this obviously another classic hot-blooded adventure novel?

So the Flame Chasers in the title Honkai: Fire Moth referred to the organization Kevin had joined?

But Honkai... Teacher Meng Yu had not mentioned much about it in the novel. He had only said that Honkai was a natural disaster that appeared alongside civilization.

Forget it. He should go online and see what other people thought.

Thinking this, Katagiri Jin entered the forum.

Meng Yu Book Friends Forum.

This was a small forum created by Luo Yu's fans. As Luo Yu became more and more famous, more people joined it. Now, it had become the largest gathering place for Luo Yu's fans.

The moment Katagiri Jin entered the forum, he saw people discussing heatedly.

"Ah, it's so short! The first volume was so short! I finished it in less than a day."

"Yeah, same here. I really want to know what happens next. I'm going to die if I don't get more Flame Chasers."

"Enough, you people. Instead of complaining over there, why not come discuss the contents of the book?"

"What is there to discuss? Teacher Meng Yu spent the entire first volume writing Kevin and Mei's youthful romance daily life, and it really was good. You could even treat it as a standalone slice-of-life novel. But as for the 'Honkai' and 'Flame Chasers' in the title, Teacher Meng Yu really only mentioned them at the end."

"Exactly. All we know now is that Honkai is a natural disaster that appears alongside civilization. It turns people into zombie-like things, called Dead Soldiers, right? Then some Honkai Beasts appear too. Flame Chasers is the organization that fights Honkai. What else is there? Nothing!"

"It's only the first volume. Let's wait for what comes next."

As Katagiri Jin read, he joined the discussion too.

"Sunny cheerful big boy, sunny cheerful big boy."

Luo Yu picked up his phone and answered the call.

"Teacher Meng Yu, congratulations! Sales broke one million on the first day," Machida Sonoko said excitedly.

"I know. Is there anything else?" Luo Yu replied calmly.

Machida Sonoko said, "Teacher Meng Yu, aren't you excited at all?"

Luo Yu said, "With the foundation laid by the previous novel, isn't this sales figure expected? All I need to do is make sure the novels I write satisfy them."

"Well. Then, Teacher Meng Yu, when can you hand in the manuscript for the second volume?"

"The first volume was just released, and you're already chasing me for the manuscript? What kind of demon are you?"

"Oh, Teacher Meng Yu. I was only joking. But you're really mean, calling such a beautiful young girl a demon."

"You, a beautiful young girl? Heh. Goodbye, old lady!" Luo Yu hung up without expression.

The first volume was now completely over. Judging from the information he had gathered online, people still liked the novel he had written. Luo Yu thought narcissistically.

But people were currently drawn in by Kevin and Mei's love story. The next volume should focus on Kevin's growth.

However, the original work had not described those parts in detail, and the text only contained a brief record of the content.

Fortunately, Luo Yu had the all-powerful Prometheus.

"As for Captain's idea, I do indeed have detailed records of Kevin's information here." Prometheus affirmed Luo Yu's thoughts.

"Then I'll leave it to you when the time comes, Prometheus. When I write Kevin's path of growth, if there's anything wrong, help me revise it."

"Understood, Captain."

"But there's nothing to do right now. I might as well keep writing." Luo Yu opened his computer, ready to write. "Prometheus, do you think I'm really too idle? Every day, aside from writing, I just play online games with those two guys?"

"I will not comment on that." Prometheus said with her arms crossed.
