My fiancée Yukino

"Wow, that's amazing! Is it even possible to do that?"

While stir-frying the vegetables, Luo Bai said with a smile, "It was like this at noon. Normally, if either Yukino or Mai helps me, I wouldn't need to do this. But Shiyu's cooking skills are just starting out, and she's not very fast, so I have to do it this way to keep things moving."

Yukino then walked over with the others, showing them the video on her phone and saying, "I was originally going to give..."

Look at what I recorded; I didn't expect it to be like this again tonight.

"There's no other way. Ren and the others just got off work, so I have to make more so they can have something hot to eat."

Seeing that Yukino wanted to help, Luo Bai stopped her, saying, "Yukino, you should rest. I'm fine as I am, and I'm not tired."

"Ok."

Seeing that Luo Bai was so insistent, Yukino had no choice but to give up.

Fifteen minutes later, Shinobu Kocho returned with her sisters. These past two days had indeed been unusually busy.

After sitting down and taking a sip of water, Shinobu Kocho looked at Ai Hoshino, who was staying for a few days, and said with a smile, "You're staying with Mai, huh? If you want, you can come and visit us too. You can sleep with Kanao and the others at night; they have a lot of fun at night."

The little ones happily surrounded Hoshino Ai, eagerly inviting her to come over that evening to play Monopoly together.

Seeing everyone's enthusiasm, Hoshino Ai had no choice but to agree.

"Well, let's try it then, but I've never played it before."

Kanzaki Aoi smiled and said, "It's okay, it's still very simple."

"That's right!"

"Let's play together!"

At this moment, Luo Bai brought out the two dishes he had prepared and said with a smile, "It's nice to play around together. Right now, your main job is filming. Since you've already memorized your lines, just leave the rest to improvisation. Being too nervous won't help. You might as well relax and maybe the effect will be better. By the way, if you're going to learn breathing techniques later, Xiao Kui and the others will guide you through the basics. Get along well with them now, and it won't be so hard for you later."

"Huh? Is that so?"

Hoshino Ai stared wide-eyed at Kanao and the others with curiosity.

Everyone nodded in unison, and then the three little ones, Terauchi Kiyoshi, Nakahara Sumi, and Takada Naho, raised their hands and happily said, "We'll teach!"

"We taught Tanjiro and the others too!"

"Take over the basics of breathing techniques from us!"

Although everyone looks adorable, the thought of them all being demon-slaying swordsmen makes Hoshino Ai feel that her studies ahead won't be so easy.

Moreover, judging from the way Luo Bai spoke just now, learning breathing techniques must be an extremely difficult thing.

Hoshino Ai wasn't too afraid of hardship; she had undergone rigorous training in order to debut.

Seeing the doubt in Hoshino Ai's eyes, Yukino chuckled and said, "Learning this breathing technique is quite difficult at first, you have to find the feeling, but it will be relatively easier after you get the hang of it. As for being tired, it is indeed quite tiring, but I don't think it should be difficult for Ai."

Hoshino Ai nodded, clenched her little fist, and said, "I'll do my best!"

Twenty minutes later, Luo Bai had also finished preparing the other dishes, and everyone could start eating.

Everyone sat together, happily eating dinner, which made Hoshino Ai even happier.

After dinner, while the others rested, Hoshino Ai was pulled away by the little ones to play Monopoly, and Haruno curiously followed, seemingly wanting to play as well.

Stretching, Luo Bai sat on the sofa, then hugged Yukino and kissed her before picking up the remote and turning on the TV.

Watching the news on TV, Yukino said, "There hasn't been any news about Hikaru Kamiki yet."

"It won't be that fast," Luo Bai shook his head. "Nangong Nayue has suppressed the news. Once she's vented her anger and dealt with some of the guys, the news should be released. But I estimate that in a day or two, someone online will find some clues. After all, Nangong Nayue's actions this time are quite significant."

"Anyway, it has nothing to do with us."

Placing her laptop on her lap, Shiyu typed as she said, "By the time a major upheaval occurs, we'll probably be on vacation in another world anyway. Let her do whatever she wants. I really hate the police in Tokyo; they're completely incompetent. They can't even catch someone robbing someone in broad daylight."

As someone who lives in Tokyo, Shiwa has a lot to say about this, and similar stories are frequently reported online and on television.

Luo Bai smiled as well.

"Well, maybe this is actually a good thing, getting rid of a lot of parasites. Hopefully, it will have some effect."

After finding a variety show that was playing, Luo Bai put down the remote and then contacted Xiao Lin, who had already gone home from get off work.

Kobayashi and her family will also be going on this vacation, but she needs to ask for leave first.

Although she is very busy at work, Xiaolin has never missed a single day of her annual leave, and this time she can finally use it up.

After receiving Luo Bai's message, Xiao Lin replied that she had already taken her annual leave, but she would be busy for the next couple of days to finish her work, but it wouldn't be a big problem.

Now we can start preparing.

Volume 1: Chapter 273 The Work is Finished (1/2)

For the next few days, Luo Bai continued to go to the film set with Mai and Hoshino Ai every morning, acting as their assistant and helping them with miscellaneous tasks.

Utaha didn't go; instead, she stayed home with Yukino, and they could also discuss the novel's content.

Lunch was prepared by Yukino, Utaha, and Shinobu Kocho, who were at home, and then Shinobu Kocho personally delivered it to the set, so Luo Bai didn't have to go back home to cook for himself.

After Mai finished her scenes, she stayed on set to coach Hoshino Ai, who was a newcomer.

Although it was her first time acting, Ai Hoshino was quite talented, and since the role she played was an idol, it was a natural fit for her, so it wasn't too difficult.

After several takes on the first day, Ai Hoshino gradually found her rhythm and her acting became less awkward.

Standing to the side, watching Hoshino Ai already immersed in her role, Mai sighed softly, "Ai is really talented. She's mastered it so quickly. Although she's playing her own idol profession, acting is different from her usual work, and the idol character in the play is different from her own personality, but she still manages to handle it very well. She's really smart."

Luo Bai nodded in agreement: "That's right, it's really quite impressive."

After Ai Hoshino joined the cast, the filming of these scenes went much more smoothly, with several shots completed in one take. The director and other actors on set gave high praise to this young idol.

Finally, Ai Hoshino's scenes were successfully filmed without encountering too many problems. She perfectly finished her last bit of work in July and could start her vacation.

Back at the apartment, Hoshino Ai excitedly sat on the sofa and said, "Luo Bai, when are we going on vacation?"

"Are you ready to leave now?"

Luo Bai took a juice out of the refrigerator and handed it to Hoshino Ai, saying with a smile, "We've been preparing things for the past two days. We should be able to leave in three days."

"Three days later, it feels like it'll be over soon!"

Hoshino Ai said expectantly, "Another world, I wonder what it will be like? By the way, is there anything I need to prepare?"

Sitting to the side, Yukino took out the shopping list for the past few days, glanced at it, and said, "We bought a lot of basic ingredients, like vegetables that are hard to find on the island, and we also stocked up on some meat. We also bought camping tents."

We bought those too, but we'll probably consider building our own cabin as a backup. We also bought some fishing and catching gear; we have basically everything we need. Xiao Ai, you can go buy anything you want to bring. Oh, and did you prepare swimsuits?

"Swimsuit? I don't have one yet," Hoshino Ai said, shaking her head. "I haven't done any swimsuit photoshoots since my debut, so I don't have my own swimsuit. It looks like I'll definitely have to buy one."

Shi Yu stretched and, after finishing her writing for the day, said, "Since we don't have a swimsuit, let's go shopping after dinner and I'll buy you one. How about it, do you still have the energy to go shopping?"

"Have!"

Hoshino Ai happily raised her hand, "I definitely have the stamina for shopping!"

Luo Bai waved his hand and said, "You guys go by yourselves tonight. I won't go. I want to rest at home."

Shi Yu smiled and said, "Luo Jun must be quite tired these past few days. Then you should rest well. We'll go out and have some fun on our own. By the way, should we invite Sister Xiao Lin and the others? I wonder how their preparations are going."

Yukino took out her phone and said, "Let me make a contact."

When the call reached Thor, he happily accepted the invitation to go shopping after dinner, saying he would bring Kanna along.

As for Xiaolin, she's still at work and has to work overtime a bit more today to prepare for the upcoming holiday, so she can't come over.

This was to be expected. When Luo Bai contacted Xiao Lin before, he had already mentioned that the days leading up to the departure would be quite busy.

Hoshino Ai asked curiously, "Tohru and Kanna, are they those two dragons? This is the first time I've ever seen them!"

Yukino smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, they are all very easy to get along with, just treat them with a normal attitude."

Shiyu added, "That's right, especially Kanna, that little one is so cute!"

Then, Yukino thought of her older sister Haruno, who was also at work, and sent her a message.

Yang Nai was busy with the last bit of work at the moment, and after receiving Yukino's message, she declined the evening's shopping trip.

She worked during the day and really didn't want to expend any more energy at night. Since Luo Bai wasn't going out either, Yang Nai decided to stay home with him.

Half an hour later, Shinobu Kocho finished preparing dinner, and Haruno also came home from get off work. Everyone sat down together and began their dinner.

After resting for a while after dinner, Yukino, Utaha, Mai, Shinobu, and Ai Hoshino went out together to buy swimsuits and other things.

Luo Bai stayed at home with Yang Nai.

After taking a sip of tea, Yang Nai leaned against Luo Bai's shoulder, stretched, and said, "Ah~~ I'm so tired, but if I work one more day tomorrow, I can finally get a complete rest!"

"Huh? You finished your work so quickly?"

Yang said smugly, "Hmph, I'm quite capable. I haven't been slacking off these past two days; I've been working hard. You know, Mother assigned me a lot of work, but I still finished it ahead of schedule. Little Bai, seeing how hard I've worked, can't you give me a reward?"

As she spoke, Yang Nai blinked her bright, big eyes and looked at Luo Bai.

The meaning is already quite clear.

Luo Bai smiled knowingly, then picked Yang Nai up in a princess carry and headed towards the bathroom.

"They'll be shopping for at least two hours, which is enough time for us to take a proper shower. Two hours as a reward should be enough, right?"

"Hehe, then you'd better keep it up!"

........

Around 9 p.m., when Yukino and the others returned satisfied, they saw Haruno, wearing pajamas, taking a nap on the sofa with her head on Luo Bai's lap.

Shiyu walked over, curiously poked Haruno's cheek, and said in surprise, "Asleep? Haruno-nee, are you very tired from work? You seemed quite energetic when you came back from dinner."

Gently stroking Yang Nai's hair, Luo Bai smiled and said, "I'm full. I'm a little sleepy after taking a shower, but I should wake up soon. How was your shopping? Did you buy everything you wanted?"

"I got it!"

Mai walked in arm in arm with Hoshino Ai, and said with a smile, "However, I won't show you Ai's swimsuit yet. We'll talk about it when we get to the vacation spot."

Hoshino Ai, on the other hand, remained silent with her face flushed.

Volume 1: Chapter 274 Hoshino Ai's Curiosity (2/2)

Looking at Yang Nai resting her head on Luo Bai's lap, Hoshino Ai realized the complexity of the relationships between these people after spending the past few days together.

When she was resting that night, she carefully asked Mai about it.

Then they received a positive answer: Yukino and Yukino, Utaha and herself, including Shinobu Kocho, were all Luo Bai's girlfriends.

This answer shocked Hoshino Ai, and she didn't sleep well all night, unable to understand it at all.

However, it seems that their family dynamic is quite good, with no conflicts and everyone getting along well.

Moreover, Hoshino Ai also realized that among the group, only Shinobu Kocho hadn't taken things to the final step with Rapa.

It wasn't that Shinobu was unwilling, but mainly because of her job. She would be called to the base from time to time, and she also had to coordinate the work of the medical team and take care of her sisters.

Hoshino Ai's face turned even redder after hearing Mai mention her swimsuit.

"Ugh... Suddenly I'm a little afraid to wear it out..."

Shi Yu smiled and said, "It's okay. There will only be one boy, Luo Jun. If you don't want him to see, we can help you blindfold him. Although Luo Jun has superpowers, he can't see with his eyes closed."

"Hey Hey hey!"

Luo Bai glared at Shi Yu and said irritably, "Why do I feel like you're calling me a pervert, Shi Yu?"

Shiyu stuck out her tongue and said, "That's not what I meant. When we're playing at the beach, swimsuits are definitely more convenient. And if Xiao Ai is shy, then you'll just have to make do, right?"

"...That's fine."

Just then, Luo Bai's phone rang.

When I picked it up, I discovered it was a call from Lucoa, whom I hadn't seen in a long time.

Upon answering the phone, Luo Bai said with a smile, "Long time no see, Lucoa. What have you been up to?"

Good evening, Luo Jun~~

Lucoa's leisurely and gentle voice came, "I was busy in another world before. There was a world war going on there. People from several countries started to play with summoning evil gods. Fortunately, one of the countries summoned me there, and in the end, we managed to quell the crisis of world destruction without any major danger."

Yukino and the others had all gathered around, so they also heard what Lucoa said.

Shinobu asked curiously, "Lucoa, did those last few countries summon the evil god?"

"Yes, otherwise I wouldn't have only just come back now~~"
