Why did the feeling of writing a light novel suddenly appear again?

"Order! [Sky] Alchemist Sei Itō, accompany the 13th squad to XXX location to quell the rebellion. Set off immediately. Above! "
In the barracks, a sergeant stood straight in front of Sei Itō and read aloud while performing a military salute.
"Can't you let me have a good rest?" Sei Itō complained in a low voice, then looked up at the sergeant and said, "I know, I'll be there right away."
"Yes!" The sergeant shouted again, turned around, and quickly left the room.
"I didn't expect that I would be sent to the battlefield as a soldier one day." Sei Itō grabbed the glass of water from the table next to him, drank the water in the glass in one gulp, took a trench coat similar to Neo's in The Matrix, put it on, and strode out.
After meeting the squad that was about to set off, they finally arrived at the edge of the battlefield in a military truck after more than half an hour of bumpy ride.
"Let's go!" The sergeant in the lead ordered.
"Yes!" All the soldiers responded loudly, then held their rifles in their hands and dispersed into a scattered formation to advance to the front area.
"Hey, what is the goal of this mission?" Sei Itō followed the sergeant and asked.
"Annihilate the resistance group inside and completely reclaim this area." The sergeant's expression was solemn as he stated the objective of the mission.
"Oh." Sei Itō nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
After a while, the squad advanced to a position near the center of the area. On both sides of the team were dilapidated and uninhabited buildings. A feeling of abandonment pervaded the air.
"Piu!" Suddenly, on the third floor of an uninhabited building not far away, a spark flashed.
"Ah!" A soldier walking at the front of the team immediately screamed and fell to the ground. A small stream of blood emerged from a small hole in his forehead and flowed along the edge of his forehead to the ground. After a while, a small pool of blood gathered.
"Pay attention to your concealment and counterattack." The sergeant saw this and quickly hid behind a hidden object at the side and loudly ordered. Almost at the same time, dozens of sparks flashed in the dilapidated buildings around the team. The sound of sharp objects piercing through the air was heard, followed by the sound of metal colliding.
"Counterattack, counterattack." Behind the bunker, the sergeant repeated loudly. Immediately, gunshots rang out from Ito Sei's side. The smell of sulfur spread in the air, like fireworks … ….
"Please help us, Mr. Sei Itō." When the sergeant saw that the soldiers had begun their counterattack, he heaved a sigh of relief and looked at Sei Itō, who had a relaxed expression on his face.
"Got it." Sei Itō nodded. He turned around and pressed his hands against the wall. A surge of energy rushed out from his body, turning into a bluish-white electric current that extended to the wall in front of him.
Almost immediately, screams of agony came from the place where sparks were still coming from. Then, the sparks of gunfire disappeared along with the screams.
"En?" Just as Sei Itō was about to withdraw his hands, he suddenly felt that something was competing with his Magic Cube for the soul fragment. Although it failed because of its level, it reminded Sei Itō that this city seemed to be strange.
"Keep moving forward." The sergeant's order called Sei Itō back from his thoughts. His hands left the wall and he frowned at the sky.
"Thank you, Mr. Itō." The sergeant said.
"No need, it's just a mission." Sei Itō waved his hand and said.
Then the team continued to move deeper into the city …
"It's been half a year. Time really flies." In a room in the barracks, Charles sat opposite Sei Itō with a small cup of coffee and his legs crossed. He said with emotion, "I didn't expect you to survive."
"I said, I won't die so easily." Sei Itō said with a cigarette in his mouth. Sei Itō, who had not smoked for a long time, started smoking again.
"Hahahahaha, indeed, as a rookie, you're really good." Charles laughed for a moment and then said.
"What about you, why are you here today?" Sei Itō reached out and took the cigarette out of his mouth, flicked it in the ashtray, and asked.
"I heard that your application was approved." Charles put the coffee cup in his hand on the table and looked at Sei Itō with his hands crossed on his knees.
"En." Sei Itō nodded and admitted.
"They finally agreed. You've been applying since the end of the rebellion more than a month ago. The efficiency of the military is very low. "Charles chuckled.
"Well …" Sei Itō shrugged with a helpless expression.
"What are your plans for this trip to St. Telar?" Charles asked.
"What else can I plan? First, I'll take a half-year leave and prepare to spend some time in the big library. As for the rest, it's not too late to think about it later." Sei Itō put out the cigarette in his hand.
"You're still as diligent as ever." Charles said with emotion.
"Haha …" Sei Itō smiled softly and ignored him.
"When are you leaving?" Charles asked after a smile.
"The day after tomorrow, there are still some things to hand over tomorrow." Sei Itō said.
"Then let's have a drink together tonight. We haven't had a drink together for a long time." Charles put his legs on the ground again, put his hands on the table in front of him, and said as he got up.
"Okay, come to me tonight, I'll prepare a sumptuous meal for you." Sei Itō also got up and looked at Charles with a smile.
"Oh ~ It's rare. You know, your [Sky] Alchemist's sumptuous meal has become a legend in the Southern Barracks." Charles laughed.
"Is that so? I really didn't notice." Sei Itō looked at Charles with some surprise.
"Of course, those who were lucky enough to eat your sumptuous meal praised your cooking to the sky!" Charles turned and walked to the door, saying as he walked, "See you tonight, I'm really looking forward to it."
"Well, see you tonight!" Sei Itō said.
Time quickly came to the evening. After half an afternoon of work, a table of four hot and four cold Chinese delicacies were placed on the table. Less than five minutes after the meal was served, Charles finally came to Sei Itō's room, and the two drank the sorghum wine that Sei Itō specially brought out …
Two days later …
"Take care." On the train, Sei Itō looked at Charles outside the window and said.
"You too. St. Telar is not as good as here in the South. Be careful." Charles exhorted.
"Don't worry." Sei Itō said.
"Oh, that's true." Charles laughed self-deprecatingly. Just as he was about to say something, the train station's bell rang violently. The two looked at each other, smiled and waved to each other, and then Charles became farther and farther away and smaller in Sei Itō's sight.
"Central City, I'm back again." On the train, Sei Itō looked at the scenery outside the window and said, "Has the human body been refined …?"
After a long journey, with a long whistle, Sei Itō set foot on the land of St. Telar, Central City again. First, he took a ride to the military to register, then went to the Information Inquiry Authority Registration Office to get a certificate, and then returned to his home in the city.
Sei Itō waved to summon Ya Ye, looked at Ya Ye and said, "You're finally back."
"Yeah." Ya Ye checked the dust in the room, patted his forehead and said, "It seems that I need to clean up."
"Let's do it together." Sei Itō looked at Ya Ye and chuckled.
"Okay." Ya Ye was shocked and put his hands together. Then the two rolled up their sleeves and began to clean.
Early the next morning, after enjoying a delicious breakfast, Sei Itō came to the National University Library with the permit. Under the guidance of the library staff, he walked to the alchemy information area and began to read.
Sei Itō was no longer the rookie from more than half a year ago. After more than half a year of fighting and learning in the South battlefield, Sei Itō had a clear understanding of this world's alchemy. So he didn't just grab a book and read it like he did in the beginning, but he checked it selectively. Most of them were relatively taboo information for alchemists.
In this way, three months passed in the blink of an eye as he went to the library to look up information during the day and went home to accompany Ya Ye at night.
On this day, Sei Itō carried a basket of apples in his hand and was walking home in high spirits. Suddenly, a long warning whistle sounded on the street in the distance. Then the sound of gunfire was heard, and someone shouted in the distance, "Don't let him escape."
