Inazuma, Yae Publishing House.
"Lord Yuuko, your manuscript this time is also incredibly stunning!"
"Lord Yuuko's new book is definitely going to take first place in sales rankings!"
Editor Kuroda of Yae Publishing House said excitedly, holding the manuscript in his hand:
"How about this, Lord Yuuko, for your new book this time, I will help find an excellent illustrator to ensure this book sells incredibly well!"
Hearing this, Yuuko felt quite embarrassed and said:
"Then I'll leave it to you, Editor Kuroda. Also, you really don't need to call me 'Lord'; I'm not some person of power or wealth..."
Editor Kuroda laughed heartily: "How could you say that? Lord Yuuko is the most important light novel writer at our Yae Publishing House!"
Yuuko helplessly scratched his head and stopped saying anything further.
He could only say that the editors at Yae Publishing House were simply too enthusiastic—overly enthusiastic, in fact—always showering Yuuko with concern.
It made Yuuko feel like he was Yae Publishing House's best-selling writer.
But in reality, Yuuko was just a writer whose performance was slightly above average; he was still quite far from being a top-tier writer.
After discussing the follow-up plot of the new book with Editor Kuroda, Yuuko left Yae Publishing House.
Stepping onto the street outside Yae Publishing House, Yuuko glanced at the sky, which was full of dark clouds mixed with faint lightning, and sighed softly:
"It's almost been a year since I transmigrated..."
Yuuko was a transmigrator, and it had been almost exactly one year since he arrived in Teyvat.
Unfortunately, as a transmigrator, he knew absolutely nothing about this world, making it a rather terrible start.
Currently, Yuuko worked as a light novel writer at Yae Publishing House.
The book sales weren't stellar, but they were enough for him to live comfortably and save a little money. Life was relatively pleasant.
Moreover, he had a cute little pet fox at home that he could pet, so Yuuko had no complaints about his life.
On his way home, Yuuko stopped by the grocery store to buy some ingredients for dinner.
After buying the ingredients, Yuuko headed straight home.
His home was a small, slightly dilapidated residence on the outskirts of Inazuma City, and the space wasn't large.
But it was at least comfortable to live in, especially since Yuuko had worked hard to earn the money to buy it.
He arrived home and opened the door.
He saw a pink fox, about twenty centimeters tall, standing at the doorway and leaping straight toward him.
Seeing this, Yuuko didn't dodge, but let the little fox jump onto his shoulder and settle down.
Yuuko reached up and rubbed the fox's head on his shoulder, smiling:
"You came back so early today."
The little fox let out a comfortable purr, then lay down on Yuuko's shoulder to rest.
Yuuko smiled and shook his head, closed the door, and prepared to use the ingredients to make dinner.
The fox on his shoulder had started living in his house and freeloading food and drink several months ago.
Since it was cute and he could pet it whenever he wanted, Yuuko didn't mind the new little companion.
This little guy usually liked to nap on Yuuko's shoulder, or watch Yuuko cook or write his novels.
It was incredibly clingy.
He just didn't know why, but this little fox would go out every day during the daytime and only return home in the evening.
Entering the kitchen, Yuuko took out the ingredients he had bought today.
Fried tofu and meat skewers.
As soon as the ingredients were taken out, the little fox, who had been napping on his shoulder, immediately opened its eyes, which shone brightly with excitement.
This little fox loved Yuuko's cooking the most, especially the fried tofu and grilled meat skewers; it liked them immensely.
Looking at the excited little fox on his shoulder, Yuuko smiled:
"I submitted the manuscript for the new book to Yae Publishing House today, and the editors seem very optimistic. They even said they'd find a great illustrator for me, so let's eat well tonight."
The little fox squeaked excitedly a few times.
Yuuko chuckled: "Don't worry, I'm just starting to cook now."
After speaking, he began heating the wok and oil, preparing the ingredients in various ways.
Once the oil reached the right temperature, he dropped the prepared ingredients piece by piece into the wok for slow frying... After a series of smooth movements, Yuuko scooped them out and brushed them with the freshly mixed seasoning.
Instantly, the entire house was filled with a fragrant aroma.
Afterward, the man and the fox began enjoying their daily dinner.
After finishing dinner, the little fox lay comfortably on the table, exposing its pale little belly.
Yuuko reached out to rub the little fox's belly, and the fox would let out sounds of contentment.
It was very soothing.
Suddenly, Yuuko changed his technique; the hand that had been rubbing the belly suddenly grabbed the fox's fluffy tail and began poking and kneading it.
This caused the little fox, which had been comfortably rolling its eyes, to quickly flip over and squeak at Yuuko in dissatisfaction.
Yuuko laughed heartily: "Sorry, sorry."
After saying that, he got up and went to the kitchen to wash the dishes and chopsticks.
That evening, Yuuko was thinking he absolutely had to drag the little fox into the bathroom and give it a good bath.
But whether the little fox was resistant to water or something else, it just refused to take a bath with Yuuko.
Yuuko felt helpless. Having no other choice, he quickly petted the little fox's tail a few times with lightning speed and then rushed into the bathroom to soak.
After his bath, Yuuko began his daily work.
His job, naturally, was writing light novels—the means by which he earned money to support himself.
Yuuko's new book is currently titled, *Turning into the Raiden Shogun and Engaging in Yuri with Yae Miko*.
Hmm... it is a light novel with extremely wholesome content.
Content like 'grinding tofu skin' would absolutely not be present.
At this moment, the little fox, who had refused to bathe with him, jumped onto Yuuko's shoulder again and watched Yuuko write the novel content with great interest.
He didn't know if it could actually understand what he was writing.
Since it didn't interfere with his work, Yuuko usually ignored it.
He just didn't know why, but whenever he wrote about the Raiden Shogun and Yae Miko 'doing serious business,' the little fox on his shoulder reacted strongly.
It would squeak loudly and scratch randomly... This made Yuuko very helpless; he didn't know why the little fox was getting angry.
There was nothing he could do, so he had to make the content slightly less explicit before the little fox stopped fussing... A night of writing left Yuuko utterly exhausted.
Considering he had to go out again tomorrow morning, he settled the little fox in its nest and went to bed himself.
Night... while Yuuko was sound asleep.
A woman with a voluptuous figure and a charming, wicked smile walked up to the bedside.
The woman had delicate features, and surprisingly, she had a pair of fox ears on top of her head, and a slight bulge behind her concealed a fluffy tail... The woman wore a mischievous expression and chuckled:
"Yuuko, oh Yuuko, I belong to you. Writing about the General and I 'doing that kind of thing' without permission makes me very angry, you know~"
