Multiverse Anime, I Write Honkai Impact in Daily Life

"Newcomer?"

Tsumugi Kotobuki and Mio Akiyama looked confused.

Luo Yu, however, had a look of sudden realization. "It must be Yui. Is it that time already?"

"That's right! Didn't I just go to submit Luo Yu's club application? I saw that the newcomer had already submitted an application to our Light Music Club."

"Then Ritsu, do you know the newcomer's name?" Mio Akiyama asked, concerned.

"Name... let me think."

"I think it's Hirazawa... Yui?"

Chapter 12: Yui Hirazawa

"I think it's Hirazawa... Yui?"

So it is you, Yui. It looks like the original four members of the Light Music Club are about to be complete.

"Knock, knock!" A series of knocks sounded at the door.

The members of the Light Music Club exchanged glances, all seeing the excitement in each other's eyes.

Ritsu Tainaka said excitedly, "I think she's here!"

Who this "she" was, goes without saying.

"Swish!" Ritsu Tainaka darted to the door like a gust of wind. She grabbed the doorknob, turned, and looked back at everyone.

"Alright, I'm opening the door."

The response she received was everyone nodding.

"Everyone, let's give our new member a warm round of applause!"

"Hira... sawa... Yui!"

Ritsu Tainaka yanked the door open with a "swoosh," a faint breeze accompanying the action.

"Eek!"

Outside the door stood a girl, frozen in shock.

Yui Hirazawa stared blankly at the scene before her. Did someone just call her name?

Yui Hirazawa snapped back to reality and saw a room full of eyes looking at her.

She instinctively bowed and said, "Sorry, I think I'm in the wrong classroom." Then she turned to leave.

Suddenly, a pair of hands landed on her shoulders, stopping her from leaving.

"Don't go yet! You're Yui Hirazawa, right? Aren't you here to join the Light Music Club? Why are you running away!" Ritsu Tainaka shook Yui Hirazawa's shoulders as she spoke.

"Ababa bababa..." Yui Hirazawa's mind was a mess.

"Ritsu! You're scaring her."

Mio Akiyama rushed over, separated the two, and apologized to Yui Hirazawa.

"Sorry, this one's a bit… unhinged. Anyway, why don't you come in and have a seat?"

"It's, it's okay."

Yui Hirazawa scratched her head and gave a sheepish laugh.

Ritsu Tainaka looked unconvinced. "Mio, how can you say that about me?"

"Why don't you just shut up for now," Mio Akiyama said irritably.

Tsumugi Kotobuki poured Yui Hirazawa a cup of black tea and placed a small cake in front of her.

"Hirazawa-san, please enjoy."

"Arigato."

Yui Hirazawa then took a sip of the black tea.

"It's delicious."

She then took a bite of the cake.

"It's yummy."

A blissful expression spread across Yui Hirazawa's face.

"Hirazawa-san, what kind of instruments do you usually play?"

Midway through feeding her, Ritsu Tainaka suddenly asked.

"What kind of bands do you like?"

"Ac-actually..."

Yui Hirazawa stammered, looking at the curious eyes surrounding her.

"Actually, you can play everything!" Ritsu Tainaka stared in shock at the airhead before her. Could she be another prodigy like Luo Yu?

During this time, although the Light Music Club hadn't had a truly serious practice session a few times, Luo Yu had already shown the girls his musical prowess.

Yui Hirasawa was almost in tears. She didn't know how to play any instruments. If she had to count, she only knew how to play the castanets. She had only joined the Light Music Club on a whim back then.

Yui Hirasawa waved her hands repeatedly and said, "No, I just..."

"You're just good at a few of them? Which ones? Do you play guitar?" Ritsu Tainaka leaned in close to Yui Hirasawa, interrupting her.

"Ababa ababa..." Faced with Ritsu Tainaka's aggressive questioning, Yui Hirasawa was too nervous to speak.

Suddenly, a hand grabbed Ritsu Tainaka by the back of her collar and pulled her back to her seat.

"Hey Ritsu, are you getting a little too excited? Didn't you see you've scared Yui?"

"Where did I?"

Ritsu Tainaka replied defiantly.

Yui Hirasawa breathed a sigh of relief. She prepared to thank Luo Yu. When she looked closely at Luo Yu's face, Yui Hirasawa exclaimed in surprise.

"Huh? You were the one at the opening ceremony?"

"So it was you! I didn't expect to meet you again. Thanks for that time."

This sentence also brought back memories for Luo Yu. He realized he had already met Yui on the first day of school. He just hadn't recognized her then.

"It's nothing." Yui Hirasawa put on her usual goofy smile again.

"What? You two know each other?" Ritsu Tainaka couldn't help but ask from the side.

"During the opening ceremony, I was spacing out the whole time. It was Yui who reminded me the ceremony was over," Luo Yu answered Ritsu Tainaka's question.

Well, I've watched enough of the show. It's time to solve the problem.

Luo Yu turned and said to Yui Hirasawa, "Yui, you don't have any instruments you're good at, do you?"

"How could that be! The name Yui Hirasawa sounds so talented. How could she not know how to play an instrument?" Ritsu Tainaka insisted stubbornly.

At this moment, Yui Hirasawa suddenly stood up from her seat and bowed to everyone, saying, "I'm sorry, everyone! Actually, I don't know how to play any instruments at all."

"Sigh!"

Not only Ritsu Tainaka, but even Mio Akiyama and Tsumugi Kotobuki were stunned. She really didn't know how to play any instruments.

"Sorry for bothering you all." With that, Yui Hirasawa started packing her things, preparing to leave.

The girls from the Light Music Club began to exchange glances.

Ritsu Tainaka: How can we let a duck that's already in our grasp fly away!

Mio Akiyama understood immediately: We have to find a way to keep her here.

Tsumugi Kotobuki: We'll definitely make her turn back.

Then, the girls shifted their gaze to Luo Yu.

Luo Yu read their intentions from their gazes and sighed, saying, "I recall the Light Music Club never said they only accept members who can play instruments, right?"

Ritsu Tainaka's eyes lit up, and she quickly grabbed Yui Hirasawa, who was about to leave.

"Right, right, right! I forgot there's no such rule. So what if you can't play an instrument? It's not like you can't learn?"

"Huh? You mean I can join the Light Music Club?" Yui Hirasawa asked blankly.

Ritsu Tainaka quickly pushed Yui Hirasawa back into her chair and said, "Of course! Welcome to the club, Yui."

"Yui, would you like some snacks?" The young lady produced new snacks from somewhere.

"Thank you. Mmm~ Delicious!" Yui Hirasawa exclaimed.

"Yui, what else do you like?" Ritsu Tainaka asked.

"I like all delicious things."

...All she thinks about is food.

"What do you usually do at home?"

"Just laze around... I guess."

"What do you like?" Tsumugi Kotobuki continued to ask.

"Cute things... I guess."

"Then what do you dislike?" Mio Akiyama also asked.

"I don't like it when it's too hot or too cold. In winter, I stay by the kotatsu, and in summer, I just lie on the floor doing nothing."

She's useless!

She really is useless.

The girls' gazes conveyed this message.

"Well! Yui, would you like to listen to us play?" Ritsu Tainaka suggested.

"You'll play for me?" Yui Hirasawa asked excitedly.

She took the bait.

"Hey! Luo Yu over there, don't think you can slack off. Come here quickly, we're about to start performing," Ritsu Tainaka called out to Luo Yu.

Luo Yu had originally planned to watch the place where this dream began from the audience. However, Ritsu's words brought him back to reality.

Right, I'm already one of them now. I should be performing on stage with them, not watching from the audience.

"Yes, yes, yes. I'm coming." Picking up his guitar, Luo Yu began to tune it.

In the distance, Yukino Yukinoshita put down her book. She knew everything that was happening here.

"Alright, everyone! Our performance is about to begin."

"One!"

"Two!"

"Three!"

As the sound of instruments filled the air, the performance started.

Chapter 13: Girls of the Weekend

"Clap, clap, clap." The performance ended amidst Yui Hirasawa's applause.

Ritsu Tainaka asked, "How did you feel?"

"How should I put it... I find it hard to put into words," Yui Hirasawa said excitedly. "Everyone looked so cool. In short, I was really moved and thought, 'I wish I could join them.'"

"How was it? Felt good, didn't it!" Ritsu Tainaka continued to try and persuade Yui.

"It's okay if you can't do it now, we'll all help you! Everyone has their own specialty instrument, so you can learn whatever you want. If there's something we don't know, you can always ask Luo Yu; he knows everything."

"Oh, is Luo Yu that amazing?" Yui looked at Luo Yu with sparkling eyes.

Luo Yu smiled and said with feigned modesty, "Just average, really. I do know a little bit of everything."
