My fiancée Yukino

Seeing Mi Yu blushing and speaking softly, Hoshino Ai immediately became alert and whispered, "This is a big enemy! Yukino-nee, if this continues, Luo Bai's tastes might start to expand in the direction of non-humans. Aren't you going to stop him?"

Yukino didn't answer, but after thinking for a moment, she said, "I'm more curious about how the horse girls in that world are born. Are there horse men? Or are they the offspring of humans and horse girls?"

"..."

Hoshino Ai hadn't expected Yukino's thoughts to have drifted so far, and she puffed out her cheeks in exasperation.

As for Luo Bai, he nodded after thinking for a moment: "Okay, let's have dinner together and then go back."

Since Mi Yu was calling him "brother" and wanted to eat together, Luo Bai naturally couldn't refuse.

Volume 1: Chapter 416 Hiratsuka Shizuka's Eye-Opening Experience (2/2)

On the other side, at the hotel where Zongwu High School students are staying.

As Hiratsuka Shizuka looked at the messages on her phone, her expression gradually turned ferocious.

Hachiman Hikigaya, who had just come out to buy a bottle of coffee, saw this and immediately shrank back in fear, intending to leave quietly.

"Hachiman, come here!"

"..."

Hachiman Hikigaya was surprised that he had been discovered. He sighed in frustration and walked over with his coffee.

"Hiratsuka-sensei, is something the matter?"

Looking at the nervous-looking Hachiman Hikigaya, Shizuka Hiratsuka asked, "Do you know where Rakubai is right now?"

"Um... Luo Bai." Seeing that it wasn't his problem, Hachiman breathed a small sigh of relief and then said, "He arrived at the hotel this morning, stayed in the room for a while, and then left with Yukinoshita. Because Yukinoshita's older sister and Shinobu Kocho all came to Kyoto, they went over to hang out with everyone. Oh right, Hoshino Ai also came."

Hiratsuka Shizuka finally understood. So these people had arrived. No wonder they were nowhere to be seen in the afternoon, and they hadn't returned to the hotel yet, and had even taken the day off.

"Alright, you go back first. I'll call him and ask if this is really a school trip. It's not proper at all!"

Seeing that Hiratsuka Shizuka was about to make a phone call, Hikigaya Hachiman dared not stay any longer and quickly left.

Soon, Hiratsuka Shizuka got through to Luo Bai on the phone.

Although she said she had taken leave, Luo Bai roughly guessed that Hiratsuka Shizuka would call.

"Hiratsuka-sensei, has dinner started over there?"

"You still have the nerve to ask!" Hiratsuka Shizuka shouted, then heard some unusual explanations coming from the other end of the phone.

"Wait a minute, are you watching a horse racing video?"

Luo Bai said in surprise, "Oh? Hiratsuka-sensei could tell that?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka pouted and said, "I heard the name 'Golden Ship' all along. I watched this race on TV with my elders before, so of course I remember it. I even bought some betting tickets, though I didn't win. Didn't you say you were taking the day off to have dinner out? Why are you watching horse racing videos?"

"Oh, this."

Luo Bai scratched his head, glanced at Mi Yu who was watching the Golden Ship's 1-15 victory with Yukino and Haruno, and then started looking for other match videos, and said, "This morning at Kiyomizu-dera Temple, we encountered some trouble and rescued a little pony girl. We're with her now."

"Huh? Horse girl? What's that?"

After hearing Luo Bai's explanation, Hiratsuka Shizuka was dumbfounded. Could there really be a world like Uma Musume?

Hiratsuka Shizuka doesn't know much about horse racing. In recent years, she only knows about breeds like Golden Ship and Northern Black Horse. She doesn't really know about Rice Bath.

However, Hiratsuka Shizuka knew very well that Luo Bai was not a liar, so she stopped being angry at this moment.

"Alright, since you've run into some issues, you can go about your business first, but you must be back tonight, understand? You're on a school trip after all!"

"Don't worry, I know. I'll be back after dinner."

"Good to know. Remember to bring Yukino back safely. I'll talk to her class about it."

After ending the call, Luo Bai glanced at Mi Yu, who was still watching the game video with shining eyes, smiled, and leaned over to watch it with her.

We had Chinese food for lunch, so we changed things up a bit for dinner and went to a high-end Japanese restaurant.

After dinner, they escorted the girls back to their hotel, and then Luo Bai and Xue Nai left under Mi Yu's reluctant gaze.

Yang Nai smiled and put his arm around Mi Yu's shoulder, looking at her and saying, "Xiao Bai's charm is really great. In just one day, Xiao Yu is completely infatuated?"

"Waaah..." Mi Yu blushed, crossed her arms, and whispered, "It was Brother Luo Bai who saved Mi Yu. Mi Yu is very grateful to him, but she doesn't know how to thank him. Instead, he has been taking care of her all day..."

"Rice baths are so cute!"

Yang Nai hugged the petite Mi Yu tightly and rubbed her cheek against it, then said with a smile, "Let's go back to our room and rest for a bit, then we'll discuss how to properly thank Xiao Bai."

Shinobu Kocho smiled and said, "I also plan to have Miyu's body checked tonight. You run long-distance races, and the long-term endurance training can easily accumulate some health problems. If we can detect them early, we can treat them early and help you maintain your athletic career for longer."

Mi Yu said gratefully, "Thank you, Sister Ren."

On Luo Bai's side, the two quickly returned to the hotel. As soon as they entered the hotel lobby, they encountered Hiratsuka Shizuka who was waiting there.

Hiratsuka Shizuka waved to the two of them, then led them upstairs to her room.

As a teacher, Shizuka Hiratsuka has a separate room.

After pouring them a cup of tea, Hiratsuka Shizuka said, "Tell me what happened. The students have been sightseeing in Kyoto these past two days, and I don't want them to run into any danger."

Luo Bai took a sip of tea and said, "Don't worry, Hiratsuka-sensei, you usually won't encounter any danger. Today, it's because Mi Yu happened to land in the maple forest near Kiyomizu-dera Temple, and there happened to be a maple tree spirit that had just completed its evolution. After seeing Mi Yu, it became ferocious and wanted to hunt her, which is why I discovered her. After dealing with that spirit, I searched the surrounding area and found no other similar life forms. It must have been a coincidence."

Hiratsuka Shizuka shook her head: "A maple tree that has become a spirit? That's really unexpected. So, what about that rice bath? Do you have a picture? Let me see!"

After her previous call with Luo Bai, Hiratsuka Shizuka even went to search for information about rice baths, so she was particularly curious about it now.

"I do have some photos. I took a lot of photos while we were out playing in the afternoon and while we were having dinner in the evening."

Luo Bai took out his phone and showed the photos to Hiratsuka Shizuka.

"Wow! This cute little girl is Saima Girl? Those ears, that tail... they really are horse ears and tail, it's amazing!" After looking at the photo, Hiratsuka Shizuka asked curiously, "Can she really run as fast as a racehorse?"

Luo Bai nodded affirmatively: "Of course, only faster, not slower. And because her anatomy is different from a horse's, she..."

They are essentially no different from humans, standing on two legs, and many injuries that are very difficult to treat for horses can be treated very well. According to Mi Yu, after the races are explained, the top three winners perform on a winners' stage. The status of the racehorse girls is similar to that of idol stars, but they are racing idols, and besides racing, they are also very skilled in singing and dancing.

"!!!"

Hiratsuka Shizuka said she was truly amazed.

Volume 1: Chapter 417 A Boy's Room That Can't Be Stayed For Long (1/2)

When Luo Bai returned to the room, Hayama and the others had gone to take a shower, leaving only Hachiman Hikigaya in the room playing games on his game console.

Seeing Luo Bai return, Hachiman Hikigaya smiled and said, "You're back? Did Hiratsuka-sensei catch you?"

"I would say she waited for us, but she just asked what we were doing; it was important business."

After sitting down next to Hachiman, Luo Bai stretched and asked, "How's it going on your end this afternoon?"

Hachiman Hikigaya shrugged: "Not so great. It felt no different from usual. Keibu is all talk and no action, but when it comes to actually doing something, he's not very brave. Even though Yuihama created a lot of space for the two of them to be alone, nothing new came up."

"Not expected."

Nodding, Luo Bai took out his phone and searched for horse races in Kyoto in the past few days, and found that there was one tomorrow.

Considering that he would be taking Mi Yu back tomorrow afternoon, Luo Bai wondered if he should take Mi Yu to see the horse racing competition in this world first, and then take her back.

After confirming that there was a match in the afternoon and the venue was quite close, Luo Bai dialed Shinobu Kocho's number.

At this moment, Shinobu Kocho was in her bedroom organizing the things she and everyone had bought that afternoon. When she saw Luo Bai calling, she answered and said, "Luo-kun, is something wrong?"

"Ren, is Miyu here with you? I just checked, and there's a horse race in Kyoto tomorrow afternoon. I was thinking of taking Miyu to watch it. Why don't you ask her if she's interested?"

"A horse race?" Butterfly nodded with a smile. "She's taking a shower now. I'll talk to her about it later, and then I'll message you, Luo Jun, once I've confirmed it."

"Okay, I'll leave it to you then."

After putting down his phone, Luo Bai saw Hachiman Hikigaya looking at him curiously.

"Mi Yu? Who is this? How do you manage to meet new girls everywhere?"

Luo Bai spread his hands and said, "I didn't expect this either. And this time, I didn't encounter an ordinary person. It's a racehorse girl who accidentally came from another world. Don't look at me like that. I am a horse girl. I look like a human, but I have horse ears and a tail."

Then, Luo Bai showed the photos of Mi Yu on his phone.

"..." Hachiman Hikigaya was silent for several seconds before finally saying, "You just mentioned horse race girls... Could the other side actually be involved in a race?"

"It seems you're not very familiar with the name 'Mi Yu'. They have some popular and talented racehorse girls over there, and their names are all famous horses from our world's horse racing history. Besides Mi Yu, there's also Donghai Diwang, Jinhuang Chuan, Cao Shang Fei, and so on."

"So, they're all girls?"

"Yes, they are all girls."

"No horse racing men?"

Luo Bai nodded: "Yes, as far as I know, no."

Hachiman stopped playing the game altogether, his eyes wide with disbelief, and exclaimed, "How can there be a world that discriminates against men? There are only female horse racers and no male horse racers? That's not fair!"

"No, I think it's really nice to only have horse girls."

Hachiman Hikigaya waved his hand, took out his phone, searched for a bit, and discovered some things: "East Blue Emperor... Rice Bath, these are all stallions, right? After arriving in the other world, they all turned into girls, is that even possible? And some of these racehorses have father-son or mother-son relationships, what happened after arriving in the other world?"

“A very small number are related by blood, but most are not. For example, the East Sea Emperor and his father Rudolf Symbol are senior and junior over there. The East Sea Emperor wanted to become a great racehorse girl after watching Rudolf Symbol's races when he was a child. However, the two of them have a very good relationship in the academy over there.”

Hachiman Hikigaya searched for the symbols of the Emperor of the East Blue and Rudolf, then looked at Luo Bai and said, "I'm very interested in that area. Can we go take a look?"

Luo Bai smiled and snapped his fingers: "There's a rice bath competition next Friday, and it's the very important Emperor's Award. I'm planning to go then, so let's go together."

"no problem!"

Hachiman Hikigaya was also very much looking forward to it. The other worlds he had learned about from Luo Bai were either inhabited by ghouls, demons, or Gastrea in a post-apocalyptic environment. They were simply not places that ordinary people like them could go to.

Now that he has finally encountered such an interesting and peaceful world, Hachiman Hikigaya naturally wants to go and take a good look at it.

After a while, Hayato Hayama and the others returned after taking a bath.

When Hayama Hayato saw Luo Bai return, he smiled and said, "Luo Bai, you're finally back! Hiratsuka-sensei was nagging the whole time during dinner."

Luo Bai shrugged: "It's okay, you'll get used to it. Anyway, she won't do anything to me. I have a legitimate reason for taking leave."

At this moment, Totsuka Saika, her face flushed, came to Hachiman Hikigaya's side.

"Hachiman, aren't you going to take a bath?"

Hachiman Hikigaya, holding his game console, said, "I'll go after I finish this game; there's still plenty of time."

As for why he didn't go with others, the reason is simple: if he went with Totsuka Saika, Hikigaya Hachiman was worried that he would be bewitched.

Looking at Hachiman Hikigaya's reserved demeanor, Luo Bai roughly guessed what he was thinking.

Even Luo Bai, upon seeing Totsuka Saika, who had just come out of the shower with a rosy complexion, had the thought of mistaking her gender, let alone Hikigaya Hachiman.

We can't stay here any longer.

Thinking of this, Luo Bai patted Hachiman Hikigaya on the shoulder, stood up and said, "I'm going out to buy some snacks and drinks. You two can chat."

Watching Luo Bai leave, Hachiman Hikigaya felt increasingly tormented.

The faint scent of shower gel emanating from Totsuka Saika beside him made it impossible for him to concentrate.

If this continues, Hachiman Hikigaya feels he won't be able to sleep well at night anymore.

Luo Bai went down to the first floor with his phone and bought some snacks and drinks from the vending machine. Then he saw Kirishima Touka and Sima Miori coming down together.

Upon seeing Luo Bai, Sima Weizhi waved happily and said, "Luo Jun, Luo Jun, would you like to go for a night stroll with us?"

"Huh? Night stroll?"

After opening a can of cola and taking a sip, Luo Bai asked, "How did you guys come up with the idea of ​​going out tonight? It's quite cold at night this time of year."

Touka Kirishima said, "I just heard from the hotel staff that there are some kind of festival-like events in the shopping street nearby in the evening. We can go check it out."

Sima Miori continued to invite, "Luo-kun, Luo-kun, do you want to go? Let's invite Yukino and go together! I wonder if Shinobu and the others want to go."

After thinking for a moment, Luo Bai decided to contact Yukino.

But before he could even unlock his phone, he saw that she had changed her clothes and was wearing sunglasses.

Wearing a mirror and a hat, Hiratsuka Shizuka walks towards the hotel entrance.

...Wearing sunglasses late at night?

Volume 1: Chapter 418 Hiratsuka Shizuka sneaks out (2/2)

Noticing the gaze directed at her, Hiratsuka Shizuka also looked over, and then saw Luo Bai, Sima Miori, and Kirishima Touka quietly watching her.
