My fiancée Yukino

Yang Nai, scrolling through her phone, nodded and said, "I don't even need to be told, they'll definitely call me. After all, my mother will be at the company tomorrow, and I'll probably come back with her after get off work. You guys can go ahead first. As for Mai and Ai, will you have dinner with Shinobu and the others?"

Mai nodded and said, "Yes, it's already agreed. Besides, we already have things to do this afternoon. Ai is still learning her breathing technique, and I plan to practice with her at the dojo. Don't worry about us being bored."

I'm just starting out with learning Ai Hoshino's breathing techniques and haven't quite grasped the knack yet.

However, she does have her advantages. Because she has been an idol for a long time and has been doing various dance training, her physical fitness is very good, much better than Yukino and the others, and she can train for a longer period of time every day.

According to Shinobu Kocho's estimate, in another four or five days, she will be able to fully grasp the basics.

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

At this moment, Yang put down her phone, stretched, and said, "I have to get up early for work tomorrow, so I won't join in tonight. Ai, let's sleep together tonight. Change into your maki and come over."

Mai naturally agreed, nodding and saying, "That's fine, but please don't corrupt Ai tonight, Yono-nee."

"Hehe, no way~~"

As Yang Nai spoke, she happily hugged Hoshino Ai and nuzzled her cheek.

"Xiao Ai, be a good girl and sleep with your sister tonight. I'll arrange two endorsements for you later. I know quite a few companies that are suitable for you to shoot commercials, such as cosmetics and clothing brands!"

"Woo!!!"

As Haruno nuzzled against her, Hoshino Ai said with difficulty, "Um, about the endorsement, I can't make that decision myself. You have to ask my manager and the company..."

"It's alright, it's alright. We're not strangers. When I go to Tokyo, I'll just talk to Natsuki-nee. I won't do you any harm. I'll definitely be a great client! Just wait to make money! By the way, has the date for the group to disband and the solo activities been confirmed?"

Hoshino Ai nodded, a hint of helplessness in her eyes: "The announcement will be made in mid-September, which is about a month away. Although it hasn't been announced yet, B Komachi hasn't had any activities during this time, so some fans have already guessed it, but the company hasn't confirmed it or given any response."

Yukino said definitively, "After all, Natsuki-nee was busy dealing with rival companies and cleaning up internal spies, so she didn't bother with the outside criticisms. Besides, I think your fans can guess the reason for the disbandment; the other members in the group really did limit your development."

The other girls in B-Komachi's group, while not lacking in various aspects, still have a precipitous gap compared to Hoshino Ai.

Moreover, this gap cannot be bridged by hard work alone. Ai Hoshino's talent makes her a natural-born actress, and ordinary people simply cannot compare to her.

Luo Bai then said, "When the news of the disbandment comes out, there will most likely be some people who will use it to attack you, so be prepared."

Hoshino Ai nodded: "Yes, I know, it won't affect me."

After getting to know Luo Bai and the others, Hoshino Ai's personality became much more cheerful in private, and she learned a lot, including in terms of mindset. Under the guidance of Haruno and Mai, she improved a lot.

The attacks from a few trolls are no longer as easily damaging to her as they used to be.

Yang Nai quickly searched for information about B-Komachi and Hoshino Ai on her phone. After seeing the comments under the disbandment rumors, she smiled and said, "Actually, there's no need to take it so seriously. But don't forget who Ai's boss is. Given how protective Nanamiya Nayuki is, ordinary comments are fine, but if anyone dares to say anything extreme, or even harass someone offline, she'll probably find out within half a day. The outcome... it's hard to say, but it definitely won't be good."

Yang Nai's words made everyone laugh.

Indeed, given Nangong Nayue's personality, if anyone dared to hurt Hoshino Ai, she would definitely kill them.

The example is Shinki Hikaru from before.

Kamiki Hikaru has been detained along with several of his company's executives. The interrogation will begin soon, and the outcome is already predetermined.

As for now, although there are still news about Hikaru Kamiki online, he no longer has any fans.

The downfall of Hikaru Kamiki and the company behind him, the arrest of a group of people, including the killing of two police officers who were monitoring Hikaru Kamiki, have all been reported today, causing a huge uproar.

Those who had previously defended Hikaru Kamiki felt deceived, never expecting that such a young man was actually a serial killer.

There are currently two main opinions online: one is that people are relieved that Hoshino Ai was almost attacked, and the other is that people are discussing when Kamiki Hikaru will be sentenced to death and executed.

Although executions in Japan are slow, this is no ordinary case. It involves artists from many talent agencies, several of which have powerful backgrounds.

Not to mention, there's also Nangong Nayue around; she'll definitely push things along well from behind.

After chatting about a bunch of random things, Luo's parents also took a walk.

We came back to normal. Shinobu Kocho had made some snacks at home and brought them over. We ate together and then watched a movie.

After watching it, everyone went home to rest.

After Yukino finished her bath, it was Mai's turn to take a bath.

In the living room, Yukino sat next to Luo Bai, waiting for the NS system to update, and asked, "You and Shinobu, there's still no progress."

Luo Bai naturally understood what Yukino meant by the progress she mentioned.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Ren, if she's so shy, let's wait a bit longer. There's no rush. Besides, my parents are here, so she'll be even less likely to do it."

"Yeah, that's true."

After the machine update was complete, Yukino immediately nudged Luo Bai.

"Come on, let's start a free-for-all and practice together."

Yukino had given up on Splatoon 3 before, as she wasn't cut out for it, and is now switching to Super Smash Bros.

Volume 1: Chapter 296 It's Got It (2/2)

The next day, at four o'clock in the afternoon, Luo Bai, along with his parents and Yukino, set off for Yukinoshita's house and had dinner together.

Yukino's parents knew that they had gone to another world, and that Yukino had brought back many souvenirs from that human country, which were quite unique, and the two of them kept them.

Moreover, they were even happier when Luo Bai told them that they would receive a new trumpet lion cake tomorrow.

Of course, there were also things that made them feel bad, namely, Mrs. Yukinoshita discovered that the relationship between Haruno and Raihachi seemed to have changed.

As someone with experience, Mrs. Yukinoshita naturally noticed some clues.

And it's also clear that Yukino knew all of this.

This made her feel very uncomfortable.

Luo Bai has probably ruined both of his daughters.

The younger daughter, Yukino, is fine; the two have been childhood sweethearts since they were little, and it was decided long ago that they would get engaged.

As for the eldest daughter, Yang Nai, she was truly helpless. She was arranged to go on blind dates, and there were quite a few excellent men among them, but she didn't like any of them.

Originally, Mrs. Yukinoshita was wondering if Haruno didn't want to be in a relationship yet, or if her standards were too high.

Based on the results now, it seems she already had someone she liked.

Although she knew all this, she didn't plan to say anything for the time being. After all, what's done is done, and given her two daughters' personalities, even if she said something, she couldn't stop them.

I can only talk to Luo Bai alone at a later time.

Moreover, after considering Luo Bai's identity as a superpowered individual and his relationship with some of the guardians, Mrs. Yukinoshita was not so averse to him anymore.

At least, it's much better than Yang Nai never being able to get married in the future, or marrying someone she doesn't like.

After thinking about it, Mrs. Yukinoshita invited her in-laws to stay for the night, planning to ask them about it when they had tea together later.

They probably already knew.

Young people these days are really hard for them to understand.

Luo's parents stayed at the apartment, but Luo Bai and Yukino Yukino naturally didn't. The three of them returned to the apartment in Yukino's car.

After arriving home, the others came over a while later, including Kanroji Mitsuri, whom they hadn't seen for several days.

She and Obanai Iguro went back to their own world, met up with their former Demon Slayer Corps comrades, and then went on a business trip to Kumamoto Prefecture to handle a request for help from there. They dealt with the two vampires that had appeared a few days ago, and that's when they finally returned.

Upon seeing Luo Bai and the other two, Kanroji Mitsuri waved happily and said, "Long time no see, Luo-kun! Here, these are gifts we brought back for you from our business trip!"

Yes, a whole box of stuff, all kinds of local specialties and delicacies.

There are quite a few local specialty foods in Kumamoto Prefecture. After looking around, Luo Bai said happily, "Thank you all. Did your business trip go smoothly?"

"Yeah! It went pretty smoothly! Although those two vampires' abilities were a bit troublesome, we managed to capture them in the end!"

Obanai Iguro nodded in agreement: "They were quite fast and their actions were rather unpredictable, but they underestimated our strength. After a brief struggle and understanding their abilities, we quickly took them down. The most troublesome part was finding their hiding place, which took quite a bit of time."

Taking a bite of a brown sugar donut, Hoshino Ai asked curiously, "Vampire? Is it the kind of vampire from the movies? Are they good-looking?"

“It’s awful.” Kanroji Mitsuri recalled what vampires looked like, grinned and shook her head, saying, “The movie went too far in beautifying them. After those two vampires removed their disguises, they looked neither human nor ghost. To be honest, they weren’t even as good-looking as some of the ghosts we’ve encountered back home.”

Obanai Iguro also strongly agreed.

And because it was so ugly, they didn't even feel like taking a picture to document it.

Mitsuri Kanroji then said, "If you want to see it, I can access the operation logs. Since this was a collaboration between the two sides, we also have records on our side, including photos of the vampires we couldn't capture."

Hoshino Ai shook her head: "If it's ugly, then forget it. I'm afraid I'll have nightmares if I see it."

"Indeed, if it's too embarrassing, then it's better not to watch it. Also, it seems that Nangong Nayue is planning to go to the world where ghouls live to completely resolve the ghoul issue. She even invited me to go with her, but I refused. That world is really boring."

"A ghoul..."

Recalling her encounter with ghouls, Yukino said with emotion, "Indeed, there's no need to go to that kind of world. Besides, Tsuki and the others have developed a drug to eliminate ghoul genes, so we can handle it ourselves."

Elma also raised her hand: "That's right, that's right, I'd much rather go to that world you all talked about, Toriko!"

Speaking of Gourmet Devil, Luo Bai also remembered it.

Now that Elma is here and Lucoa has returned, could they go over there to explore, find some delicious and easy-to-cultivate ingredients, and bring them back to cultivate?

Even if it's difficult to cultivate, you can find places with low ingredient capture levels and then go there regularly to collect some ingredients.

That world is full of wonderful things!

Luo Bai nodded and looked at Elma, saying, "Well, when we go to the Guardians in a couple of days, we can ask Mato Mokuzu how the research on the portal to Toriko's world is going. If it's open, we'll go together, and we'll invite Lucoa too. With the two of you there, as long as we don't encounter anything too terrifying, we should be able to handle it."

Eruma nodded repeatedly, saying with great anticipation, "I want to go! I want to go!"

Of course, before that, there's something even more important: picking up Utaha and Eriri tomorrow.

Luo Bai also told Kanroji Mitsuri about Eriri's upcoming visit.

After hearing this, Renzhu clapped her hands and said happily, "That's great! I saw some character designs from Shiyu before. Although mine isn't yet, they're really well drawn! The thought that our story can continue through manga is just wonderful!"

Luo Bai also said with a smile, "You can think about it tonight. If you have any requests in the manga, you can mention them to Eriri when they arrive tomorrow. However, I think that after Eriri meets you, she probably won't want to change your character setting, and neither will Shinobu and the others."

Shinobu Kocho and Mitsuko Kanroji

After hearing this, Li exchanged a glance with Luo Bai, then looked at him curiously.

Yang Nai stroked his chin and said with certainty, "Yes, that's true. You guys are all very good-looking and have great figures. It would be very difficult to make changes based on you after seeing you all."

The others understood as well.

It's easy to draw something ugly, but to make it different and beautiful is difficult to revise, especially since it has to fit the character design.

We'll see what Eriri thinks after she sees it tomorrow.

Volume 1: Chapter 297 The Two Who Set Off (1/2)

After a night's rest, the day arrived when Utaha and Eriri were coming over.

Shiyu and Luo Bai had agreed that they would pick up Eriri at 9:30 in the morning and set off, meaning they would return to Chiba around 10:00.

This time, they didn't use the base's teleportation device and chose to come by car. Luo Bai arranged for a company car to pick them up, so he didn't have to pick them up himself.

However, even if he didn't go to pick up anyone, Luo Bai still had something to do: go to Zhen Tu Huo Jin and bring back some trumpet lion mane cakes.

At 9:30, Shiyu arrived at the gate of Eriri's villa in a car driven by Luo Bai's company.

Because today's trip isn't just about going out to play, but also about meeting members of the Demon Slayer Corps from another world, Eriri went to bed on time last night and got up early this morning without sleeping in.

When Shiwa arrived, Eriri had already finished breakfast and was all ready to go.

As they got into the car, Eriri looked at Shiho excitedly and said, "Are we leaving already? Should I go and prepare some gifts?"

Shaking her head, Shi Yu chuckled, "I lack nothing, I don't need these things. Besides, didn't you bring all the sketches with you? These things are enough."

"Okay, then!"

Eriri nodded, but still appeared very excited.

Are all the people here easy to get along with?

"Didn't I tell you already? They're easy to get along with. Apart from Elma, the others are all human, and Lucoa and the others all have their own places to live. They don't usually come over unless it's a party. You're not socially awkward, so why are you worried about this kind of thing?"

Shrinking her neck, Eriri said softly, "Who said I'm not socially awkward? I usually don't talk to people outside, okay? At school, I only talk to my classmates and a few friends from the art club. Oh right, and you too."

Hearing Eriri think about it, Shiyu realized that it was true. Eriri really wasn't a very sociable person. Her usual demeanor was just a facade she put on as a rich young lady.

At home, I usually wear sportswear and glasses to draw and play games, and I don't go out much for social activities.

Eriri doesn't even go shopping much.

Utaha herself is considered someone who doesn't go shopping very often, but Eriri can't even compare to her.

"emm~~"
