Multiverse Anime, I Write Honkai Impact in Daily Life

In the store, rows upon rows of instruments were displayed on shelves.

"So many guitars!"

"That's a bass," Luo Yu explained from behind.

"Huh? Isn't that a guitar? They look the same," Yui Hirasawa asked blankly. "What's the difference?"

"Just think of one as having four strings and the other as having six."

Luo Yu felt that explaining it too complexly might be beyond Yui Hirasawa's understanding, so he simplified it.

"Well, Luo Yu, why don't you take Yui to the guitar section first? We'll go look around somewhere else," Ritsu Tainaka said.

"Alright, have fun. Come on, Yui. Let's go tune some guitars together."

"Okay!"

Afterward, the group split up to browse.

Upon arriving at the guitar section, Yui Hirasawa exclaimed.

"So many guitars!"

"These are indeed guitars this time."

Yui Hirasawa immediately leaned down to start examining the guitars.

"How is it? Do you like any?"

"They're all so expensive!"

"It can't be helped, this is a big store. The quality of these guitars isn't low either. Do you want to keep looking?"

"Mmm~ I'll keep looking."

While Yui Hirasawa was choosing, Luo Yu also started browsing. Although he didn't lack instruments, he felt like he'd come to the music store for nothing if he didn't buy anything.

"Ah! This guitar is so cute!"

Yui Hirasawa crouched down in front of a guitar, letting out a small gasp.

"Did you decide?" Ritsu Tainaka popped out and asked.

At this moment, Mio Akiyama and Tsumugi Kotobuki also walked over. It seemed the girls had finished their tour of the instrument store.

"Are you going with this one? Yui?" Ritsu Tainaka asked, looking at Yui Hirasawa.

"Yeah! I want this one."

"But this guitar is two hundred and fifty thousand."

"Ah, really... I want it, but I can't afford it."

"Huh? Is two hundred and fifty thousand expensive?" Tsumugi Kotobuki tilted her head in confusion.

"It's not that expensive," Luo Yu replied to Tsumugi Kotobuki.

"Hiss!" Ritsu Tainaka gasped and said, "Luo Yu, I've noticed this for a while. Ever since you brought that guitar to the club last time, you've never taken it back. Aren't you afraid of losing it? And if I may be so bold, how much did your guitar cost?"

"How could something so valuable be easily lost at school? Besides, it's fine even if it gets lost; I have several others at home. The price of this guitar isn't expensive, only four hundred thousand." Luo Yu said nonchalantly.

What, what? Not afraid of losing it? Four hundred thousand isn't expensive.

"Never mind, Tsumugi. Luo Yu, how are you so rich too? Are you also a Young Lady from that kind of family?"

"Young Lady, my foot," Luo Yu said irritably. "At least call me Young Master."

"Okay, Young Master," Ritsu Tainaka saluted.

"Alright, stop messing around." Luo Yu thought about his family's situation. "My family is indeed quite wealthy, but all my money is earned by myself."

"Hehe, Young Master," Ritsu Tainaka said with a fawning smile.

"Ew... that's disgusting. Be normal, Ritsu," Luo Yu said, almost getting goosebumps.

"I just saw a cymbal I liked. Young Master, do you think you could..." Ritsu Tainaka rubbed her thumb and index finger together. "Reimburse me a little."

"Ah! Stop it, stop it. Mio, let go of me."

"Ritsu!" Mio Akiyama pulled her away from behind Ritsu Tainaka, her face dark. "If you make Luo Yu pay for it, when are you going to pay him back?"

"I'll pay it back slowly by working part-time," Ritsu Tainaka pouted. Then Ritsu Tainaka's eyes lit up. "Oh, right, working! We can work part-time to earn money to buy Yui a guitar!"

"Huh?" Yui Hirasawa reacted and said, "That would be too much trouble for everyone."

"Well, let's just treat it as a Light Music Club activity," Ritsu Tainaka said with a grin.

Mio Akiyama looked at Tsumugi Kotobuki and Luo Yu and asked, "I don't have any objections, but what do you two think?"

"Working part-time!" The Young Lady's eyes lit up. "I want to go too!"

"Then let's do it, oh!"

"Oh!"

"Aren't you going to listen to my opinion?" Luo Yu said helplessly.

"Ehh~ Can you really bear to watch the four of us beautiful girls work hard outside while you play alone at home?" Ritsu Tainaka covered her face with her hands, pretending to cry.

"Have some heart!" Luo Yu said mercilessly. "I've been quite busy lately."

"Why is it like this?" Ritsu Tainaka said dejectedly.

Looking at the dejected girls in front of him, Luo Yu sighed and said, "Alright, don't be discouraged. I really don't have time lately. How about this? I'll buy this guitar for Yui first, so you don't have to worry about someone else buying it. This way, you can work part-time slowly, and you can pay me back whenever Yui has saved up the money."

"That works, I guess," Ritsu Tainaka mumbled, pouting.

Chapter 15: Like an Old Acquaintance

"Thank you, Luo-Luo! This is great! Jita. We don't have to be separated anymore." Yui Hirasawa said with a goofy smile, looking at the guitar.

They even gave it a name.

The others exchanged glances, seeing a hint of helplessness in each other's eyes.

"But it's 250,000. I don't know how long we'll have to work to pay it off. I wonder if we can get a discount?" Mio Akiyama voiced her concerns.

"If that doesn't work, let's try to haggle with the store clerk."

"Ritsu. You made the clerk cry last time."

"Because I really wanted that drum set," Ritsu explained.

"Um... haggle?" The Young Lady questioned the new term.

"It's about overwhelming the other party with effort and grit to get what you want," Ritsu Tainaka said, clenching her right fist and closing her right eye as she spoke to Tsumugi Kotobuki.

Someone here is feeding the Young Lady misinformation.

"That's amazing, it sounds so aspirational," Tsumugi Kotobuki exclaimed.

"Let's go. Yui, take your Jita. We're going to pay. Is there anything else you girls want to buy?" Luo Yu said to the girls.

"We're good, let's go."

At the sales counter.

"We'll take this guitar," Luo Yu said to the clerk, pointing at Jita.

"Hello, that will be 250,000."

"Luo Yu, wait," Tsumugi Kotobuki suddenly interjected, stopping Luo Yu from paying.

Luo Yu looked confused but stopped and asked, "What's wrong? Tsumu-tsumu."

"Can I try something?"

"Try what?"

"Haggling."

"Then go ahead and try."

Is the famous scene about to happen? Luo Yu's lips curved slightly as he agreed to Tsumugi Kotobuki's request. Let's see your performance, Young Lady.

"Ooh! Go, Tsumu-tsumu!" Ritsu Tainaka cheered from behind.

Then, Tsumugi Kotobuki smiled at the clerk and said, "Could the price of the guitar be a little cheaper?"

"Huh?" The clerk sounded confused.

Luo Yu then saw the clerk take a step back as if startled.

She must have recognized Tsumugi Kotobuki's identity.

The clerk picked up a calculator, punched in some numbers, and handed it to Tsumugi Kotobuki.

"So... how about this?"

Tsumugi Kotobuki glanced at it and continued with a smile, "A little cheaper~"

In the end, Luo Yu only paid 50,000 to buy Jita.

As expected of you, Young Lady. Luo Yu marveled inwardly. You're ruthless when it comes to taking advantage of your own family's business.

"Tsumu-tsumu, you're amazing! How did you do it? You brought the price down from 250,000 to 50,000!" Ritsu Tainaka excitedly asked Tsumugi Kotobuki on the way home.

"That store is actually one of the chain stores owned by my family," the Young Lady said, revealing the shocking truth with a smile.

It was clear that besides Luo Yu, who already knew, the other three girls were very surprised.

"Tsumu-tsumu, thank you," Yui Hirasawa said earnestly to Tsumugi Kotobuki.

"This way, I can pay Luo Yu back quickly."

"I'm not in a hurry," Luo Yu waved his hand. "You can pay me back whenever you want."

"The train is here. I'll head off now. See you all tomorrow."

After bidding farewell to the girls, Luo Yu parted ways with them, ending their instrument shop trip for the day.

Evening, Luo Yu's home.

["Die, all of you! God said that humanity's existence is a mistake. Die, all of you."] The Sixth Herrscher lay on the ground.

Bang! A gunshot ended the Sixth Herrscher's life.

Kevin knelt on the ground, on the verge of collapse.

It was wrong, all my fault! I'm the one who killed everyone in this city.

I shouldn't have hesitated.

Seated at his computer desk, Luo Yu diligently typed away.

"The second volume is almost done," Luo Yu stretched.

"Prometheus, what do you think of what I've written? Does it align with the facts?"

"Captain, the data indicates Kevin wasn't kneeling on the ground at that time," Prometheus corrected Luo Yu.

Luo Yu: "You have to embellish a bit when writing a novel, right? Doesn't kneeling better express Kevin's mood at the time?"

Prometheus: "..."

This is a bit boring! Kiana and Mei both said they had plans tonight. Playing games alone isn't much fun. Oh well, might as well keep writing if there's nothing else to do. I'll try to finish the Flame Chasers arc soon. After all, the truly heartwarming story is still in Honkai Impact 3rd.

"Prometheus, I'm going back to writing. Remember to remind me at 12:00."

"Understood, Captain."

The sound of rapid typing filled the air.

"Alright, that's all for today's lesson," Shizuka Hiratsuka closed her textbook.
