Chapter 22: My Electro Archon Can't Be This Cute

While Sara and Kuroda were engaged in a mental battle over a poster, Bai Luo began to observe the light novels in the store.

Compared to the widely circulated motivational and educational type of books in the Snezhnaya, the light novels here were filled with various imaginative themes.

"Shogun Almighty: Reborn as Raiden With Unlimited Power" is considered normal, and there are even peculiar books like "Surrounded by Four Big Men as a Ghost Beetle."

Among them, one book caught his attention.

The name of the book is "A Legend of Sword."

Compared to other new books, this one seemed somewhat worn and had obvious signs of being flipped through.

"Are you interested in this book, sir?"

Kuroda noticed Bai Luo picking up this book, and his heart skipped a beat.

Ignoring the verbal sparring with Sara, he quickly walked over.

"Is there any problem?"

Bai Luo was interested mainly because he knew the person who wrote this book.

But in his eyes... This book was just okay.

After all, the creativity in Teyvat couldn't compare to his original world.

He had been influenced by countless anime, dramas, and web novels for over a decade.

"This 'A Legend of Sword' was brought back by an old customer of ours from Liyue's Wanwen Bookstore. After the lockdown was enforced, there was no way to purchase it. It's the only copy in Inazuma, displayed here purely for exhibition purposes and not for sale."

Originally, this book could be borrowed, but due to someone mishandling it and almost destroying it, the editors of Yae Publishing House decided to treat it as a non-saleable item for display.

Reading is restricted to light authors who collaborate with Yae Publishing House.

Because they hope someone can write a light novel in a similar style.

Unfortunately, despite many imitations and even some plagiarized works on the market, there are few that can surpass this book.

If Bai Luo hadn't come with Sara, Kuroda would have scolded him rather than explaining so kindly.

"Sorry, my bad."

Putting down "A Legend of Sword," Bai Luo wore a contemplative expression.

"As long as you haven't damaged the book, everything is fine."

Kuroda gently placed the book back in its original position and delicately smoothed out the slightly wrinkled cover.

"Wait, you just said that any author who collaborated with Yae Publishing House can view this book, right?"

After Kuroda arranged the book, Bai Luo finally spoke.

He had an idea in mind.

"Yeah, unless you..."

"If I wanted to submit a manuscript, would you reject it?"

Picking up "Reincarnated as Raiden Shogun" next to him, Bai Luo casually flipped through a few pages, asking.

"Look, we're Yae Publishing House, the largest bookstore in Inazuma. As long as you dare to submit, we dare to accept."

Kuroda's words were absolutely true.

Unless it was a somewhat sensitive topic, Yae Publishing House is very open to submissions.

Even if you write a fairy tale, as long as someone is willing to read it, Yae Publishing House will accept it.

After confirming this, Bai Luo didn't stay any longer.

Originally, he wanted to visit the Naganohara Fireworks Store as well.

Yoimiya is the first 5 star character that he has in Genshin Impact, he has a lot of good memories with her, and due to that, he also had a good impression of the fireworks store.

Unfortunately, when Bai Luo went there, Yoimiya wasn't around, so he could only regretfully choose to come back next time.

Having explored everything he wanted to and achieved his goal, Bai Luo decided not to continue exploring. Instead, he chose to return to the vicinity of the Tenryou Commission with Sara.

After returning, Sara exchanged greetings with him and went straight back to the Tenryou Commission.

She still had a lot of work to handle.

After returning to his small courtyard, the first thing Bai Luo did was to have his Fatui's Brigade subordinates prepare paper and pen for him. He was genuinely planning to submit a manuscript to Yae Publishing House.

Holding the pen in his hand, Bai Luo took a moment to brew ideas in his mind and quickly settled on a name: "My Electro Archon Can't Be This Cute."

When Bai Luo was at Yae Publishing House earlier, he wasn't just randomly flipping through books. He deliberately went through the popular light novels there. The results showed that while there were some popular romance story, only one, "Pretty Please, Kitsune Guuji?," seemed interesting.

The others were mostly typical hero-rescues-the-beauty types.

So...

He planned to give a lesson to the light novel scene in Inazuma with a unique style.

Considering that in "Pretty Please, Kitsune Guuji?," they changed the name of the Yae Miko to Yae Masako, to avoid having his book banned, Bai Luo also decided to change the name.

For example...

Yae Sakurako.

Thus, the story unfolded.

As companions for countless years, Yae Sakurako and Raiden Shogun had always had a good relationship. However, in recent years, their relationship seemed to have encountered problems.

From a certain point in time, Raiden Shogun began to lock herself in the Tenshukaku, refusing to see Yae Sakurako. Yae Sakurako could only stand guard outside the Tenshukaku every day, holding her favorite Tricolor Dango, occasionally expressing her loneliness to her divine companion.

"Do you want to build a snowman?"

However, faced with the invitation from her divine companion, Raiden Shogun remained unresponsive.

One day, Yae Sakurako found a light novel at the entrance of Tenshukaku that she had never seen before. She asked the Ochimusha, but no one admitted to dropping it.

Was it because they were afraid of punishment? Or... she gradually focused her gaze on the high point of Inazuma, the Tenshukaku.

On that night, Raiden Shogun, who had not left the Tenshukaku for many years, took the initiative to find Yae Sakurako.

It turned out that, in the eyes of everyone, the perfect and lofty Raiden Shogun was, in fact, a homebody who loved light novels and sweets.

To keep this secret hidden, she maintained a perfect appearance in front of others, not daring to meet even her divine companion, Yae Sakurako.

After returning to Tenshukaku, she entered a barrier that only she knew about, living the life of a shut-in. She left only a "shadow" in Tenshukaku to fool the servants responsible for taking care of her daily life.

However, such a life was ultimately dull.

After Yae Sakurako found the light novel, she noticed that her divine companion seemed to be interested in such things, rather than disliking them.

So, she took the initiative to approach her , starting a new life under the pretext of divine counseling.

After writing several volumes in abundance, Bai Luo belatedly realized that it was already the early morning hours. The eastern sky was even showing signs of dawn.

He had been writing all night.

But looking at his work, he felt it was all worth it.

Waking up the subordinate who had been dozing off beside him, Bai Luo handed him the light novel he had written, letting him appreciate it.

Under the leader's request, the Fatui's Brigade subordinate dared not refuse.

Initially, he planned to praise it no matter how it was written, but as he turned page after page, he gradually changed his mindset.

"How is it?"

Watching his subordinate read the entire book in one go, Bai Luo quickly spoke up.

"My lord, if you really want to publish this, I suggest preparing to escape from Inazuma. I'm afraid you'll be chopped up by the Electro Archon."

After taking a deep breath, the Fatui's Brigade member gave his most sincere evaluation.
