My fiancée Yukino

Tokyo or Chiba...

Hoshino Ai herself was unsure, after all, it was something for next year.

Seeing Hoshino Ai's hesitant expression, Nangong Nayue didn't urge her, and said softly, "There's no need to rush into a decision. I'm just giving you a choice. Tokyo is mainly because it's closer to the company, while in Chiba, there are more peers who can treat you as equals, and Luo Bai and the others can take care of you. As for me, although I'll be in Chiba most of the time, it's difficult..."

"I know I'll have to leave sometime. In comparison, Chiba is safer; we still have Ryu there."

"Well, I'll think about it some more. After all, there are still six months left."

"Okay, I'll take my time to think about it. Just give me an answer when the time comes."

......

After returning from Chiba Village, Luo Bai and Yukino set off separately the next morning to deliver the items.

Yukino and Haruno drove directly to Yuihama's house.

Luo Bai's words were even more direct: he flew there.

Because he had called before coming out, Luo Bai knew that the Hachiman siblings were already up.

Not long after she rang the doorbell, Komachi happily opened the door.

"Good morning, Brother Luo Bai!"

Luo Bai smiled and patted Komachi's head: "Good morning, Komachi."

Upon entering the Hikigaya family's living room, Luo Bai saw Hikigaya Hachiman playing video games.

Hachiman Hikigaya, who had been working non-stop, glanced at Luo Bai and greeted him, "Sorry, I'm fighting a boss right now, I can't free up my hands."

Seeing his condition, Luo Bai said to Komachi beside him, "Komachi, you're a useless older brother. Why don't you come to my house and be my younger sister from now on?"

Komachi smiled and said nonchalantly, "Let's not do it for now. The main thing is that my brother is going to tutoring classes soon and won't have much time to play games. I understand, Komachi."

"Tsk tsk tsk, what a wonderful younger sister."

Gently patting Komachi's head, Luo Bai said, "Let's go, take me to the kitchen. I'll put the meat away first. Where are your parents?"

Taking Luo Bai to the kitchen, Xiao Ma said, "Mom went out to buy groceries, and Dad went to work! Brother Luo Bai, isn't this hungry bird's meat really delicious?"

"It's super delicious!"

Luo Bai said confidently, "It's delicious even with simple preparation, and the taste is definitely better than the finest Wagyu beef."

As he spoke, Luo Bai took out the cut meat from his bracelet.

Even though it was still raw meat, Komachi could still tell that the quality of the meat was extremely good.

"It looks so pretty, it must taste delicious! I'll ask Mom to make this today!"

After storing the meat in the refrigerator, Luo Bai and Xiao Ding went to the living room and took out another box, which contained the trumpet lion's mane cake.

"These are the desserts, the Lion's Mane Cake. They're usually made unprocessed, but half of them were made by Yukino and Mai this morning with fresh cream and fruit. They can't be kept for long, and since you don't have the storage facilities, try to finish them today."

The aroma wafted out, attracting even Hachiman Hikigaya, who was engrossed in playing a game.

"You're truly a captive of food! Do you have any of the legendary thick soups?"

"You're overthinking it. These are just ingredients that came to our world by chance. Although we can now research ways to get to that world, the fighting power in the world of Toriko is a bit terrifying, so we still need to be careful."

After a brief explanation, Luo Bai's mission for the day was complete, and it was time for him to leave.

"Alright, I'm heading back now that I've delivered everything."

Standing up, Luo Bai looked at Komachi and said, "Come visit when you have time. Shinobu's three younger sisters are the same age as you, and Hoshino Ai will also be visiting in August. You can get to know her too."

"Huh? Really? Hoshino Ai?!"

Volume 1: Chapter 248 Arrangements for the Remaining Time in July (2/2)

After showing Komachi the photos of Hoshino Ai's gathering last night, Komachi was incredibly excited and told Luo Bai to contact her next time Hoshino Ai came, and she would definitely come immediately.

Luo Bai never expected that Komachi was such a big fan of Hoshino Ai.

Although Komachi also attends cram schools during summer vacation, she doesn't have as many classes as Hikari, so she still has a lot of free time.

After Luo Bai agreed, Komachi jumped up happily.

"Yay! I can take a picture with Ai Hoshino and get her autograph! My classmates will be so jealous when school starts!"

Hachiman Hikigaya, who was standing to the side, was also quite surprised.

"I didn't expect that you guys would even know Hoshino Ai."

Luo Bai said with a smile, "Originally, Mai was considering the company that Hoshino Ai was going to join when she transferred her registration, but in the end she chose the company in Chiba that Yukino introduced. As for the boss of Hoshino Ai's company, we know her. Yesterday, she brought Hoshino Ai to Chiba to reshoot some commercial scenes, and then we had a meal together, so we naturally got to know each other."

"I see."

Luo Bai and his friends have a wide network of connections that Hachiman admires; they know everyone, whether he can think of it or not.

After agreeing with Komachi about coming over to visit, Luo Bai said goodbye and went back.

When he got home, Yukino and Haruno hadn't returned yet; only Utaha and Mai were in the living room petting the cat and watching TV.

Seeing Luo Bai return, Mai waved her hand and said, "Luo-jun, I have something to tell you!"

"Huh? What?"

“My agent just called me. There’s a show that I need to participate in. The artist who was originally supposed to participate is sick and hospitalized and can’t make it to the recording. The director of the show knows my agent, so he asked me.”

"Oh, I see. What kind of program is it?"

"It's just being a guest and watching those street interviews, nothing difficult."

Luo Bai understood. He had seen many of these kinds of program videos online. They were indeed not difficult to understand and were usually just interesting interviews.

"Okay, let's go then. When is the recording?"

“Let’s go tomorrow afternoon!” Mai said with a smile, holding Luo Bai’s arm. “Can you come with me tomorrow? Shi Yu is going back tomorrow afternoon too, so let’s go to Tokyo together, how about it? We can come back together after the show is recorded.”

"can."

This small request was nothing to Luo Bai, who readily agreed.

"Great!"

Mai cheered and gave Luo Bai a big kiss on the cheek. Then she picked up her phone and started looking for restaurants for tomorrow night's candlelight dinner.

Shi Yu wasn't disappointed, since they were leaving tomorrow morning and could have lunch together. Then, Luo Bai and Mai would go to the TV station in the afternoon, and she would go home.

After a few days away, it's time to get back to work on the novel and comics. These are things that Shiyu values ​​highly and can't afford to neglect.

Looking around, Luo Bai asked, "Hasn't Ren come over? Did she go to the logistics team or the dojo?"

"He's gone to the logistics team!" Mai said while scrolling through her phone. "After yesterday's operation, we're going to have a series of training sessions today, and we'll also be checking the members' progress on their breathing techniques. Oh, and let's go to the dojo this afternoon, I want to practice my breathing techniques some more!"

"agree!"

Shiyu also raised her hand.

"Okay, let's go together."

Nodding, Luo Bai also took out his phone and started scrolling. He happened to come across a post by Thor, which was a photo of him and Kanna going out shopping for groceries.

"Oh right, let's send some over to Thor and the others too."

With that in mind, Luo Bai called Thor and planned to deliver the items that afternoon.

Upon hearing that there were special ingredients from another world again, To

Er was also very happy and said she would wait for Luo Bai to come over at home in the afternoon.

Around 10 o'clock, Yukino and Haruno finally returned.

"We're back! It's so hot outside!"

As soon as she came in and felt the air conditioning, Yang Nai comfortably squinted her eyes and then pounced on Luo Bai.

Although she complained about the heat, she didn't sweat because they were driving the whole way and the car had air conditioning, so it was still very comfortable to hold her.

Gently patting Yang Nai on the back, Luo Bai asked with a smile, "The things have been delivered. What was Auntie's reaction?"

"I'm so surprised! I didn't expect there to be something good again." Yang Nai nuzzled Luo Bai and said, "Mother has already tried the cake and liked it very much. As for the meat, we'll wait for Father to come home tonight and they can eat it together. I'm really looking forward to it."

Luo Bai nodded and looked at Yukino: "What about Yuihama's side?"

"Only Yui was home. Her parents had both gone out today and wouldn't be back until the afternoon. They were happy with the things that were delivered, but since we had to go home, we didn't stay long and left quickly."

As she spoke, Yukino went over, picked up the cat, and began to pet it comfortably.

Apart from Shinobu Kocho, everyone else was present at this moment, and Luo Bai was also talking to everyone about the arrangements for the next two weeks.

The trip to another world was scheduled for August, so for the rest of July, apart from Mai having to go out to work and Haruno having to go to her family's company, Raobai and Yukino were the most relaxed.

As for Shiyu, she is also busy with novels and comics, but it's not too bad compared to others, as she can just stay at home.

As for working as Nangong Nayue's assistant in the Guardian Organization, it wasn't too busy; she just needed to go there regularly.

Mai explained her schedule for tomorrow, then said, "The filming is scheduled for the last week of July, which should only take two or three days, so it's not too busy. As for TV programs and commercials, I'm quite familiar with those, and I can usually come and go in the same day."

Utaha pondered for a moment and said, "Hmm, so I'll be the only one staying in Tokyo? No, I'll have to ask Miss Nagatsuki for a teleportation item later, so I can come directly to Chiba!"

Based on Shiyu's understanding of Nangong Nayue, she believed that the other party must have similar props.

It's absolutely unacceptable that she can't come all the time by herself.

After everyone discussed it, Luo Bai leaned back on the sofa and said with a smile, "Looks like Yukino and I are the most relaxed after all. Well, we'll stay home for now, enjoying the air conditioning, reading, and playing games. Yukino, what do you think?"

Yukino nodded in agreement: "I don't really want to go out either, the weather is really hot."

She spent the whole morning in the car, but the sunlight streaming in through the window and the temperature after getting out of the car were unbearable for Yukino.

I'd better stay home.

Volume 1: Chapter 249 Practice at the Dojo (1/2)

In the afternoon, after lunch and a short rest, Luo Bai and Yang Nai went out to Xiao Lin's house.

Kobayashi is still at work today; only Tohru and Kanna are at home.

When the doorbell rang, it was Kanna who opened the door.

"Luo Bai!"

As soon as the door opened, Kanna happily rushed over and hugged Luo Bai's leg, which was a routine thing for the two of them when they met.

After changing into slippers, Luo Bai picked up Kanna and carried her into the house, asking, "Kanna, are you happy that it's summer vacation now?"

"I'm so happy! I even went to visit my friends yesterday!"

"Hmm~~ You've made a friend, that's great."

At first, everyone was a little worried about Kanna starting elementary school, since although Kanna looks like a child, she is actually a dragon.

However, after a few days, Kanna adapted to school very well and enjoyed school life. She was very popular and well-liked, which put everyone's minds at ease.

Upon entering the living room, Thor was preparing drinks for the two of them, smiling as he said, "Come and sit down, the juice will be ready soon!"

"Thank you for your help, Thor."

"Hehe, no trouble at all. As a maid, I naturally have to treat guests well when they come!"

Soon, Thor came over with a glass bottle filled with fresh juice and several cups.

"Here you go, freshly made mixed fruit juice. Kobayashi really likes this!"

Thor put ice cubes in the glasses and poured one for each of them.

"Thank you."

Yang Nai thanked him, picked up the cup, took a sip, and comfortably squinted her eyes: "So refreshing! The taste is really good!"

After drinking half a cup, Luo Bai took out the gift he was going to give from his bracelet.

"This is the meat of the Hungry Bird. Considering your and Kanna's appetites, I took a little extra, about twenty pounds. And these are the mane cakes of the Horned Lion, half processed and half unprocessed. The cakes can't be kept for too long, it's best to eat them before tomorrow afternoon. As for the meat, it can be stored in the refrigerator, but don't keep it for too long, or it will lose some of its flavor."

Compared to the meat, Kanna was clearly more excited about the cake. As soon as she smelled it, she excitedly raised her hands: "It smells so good, I want to eat it!"

Luo Bai smiled and nodded, then looked at Thor and said, "Thor, you guys try some first, just leave some for Sister Lin."

"Mmm, I'd love to try it too!"

Seeing that there was quite a lot of cake, Thor didn't hesitate and went to get a knife, fork, and plate, cutting off a few pieces.
