My fiancée Yukino

Then he thought of himself and Kobayashi, but the thought of going back to Kobayashi's hometown with her today and meeting her family made Tohru smile happily.

Soon, Thor and Elma finished eating and continued cleaning up with Lobe and the other two.

After that, the others got up one after another and ate all the breakfast they had prepared.

After they finished eating, the Uzui Tengen family and the Iguro Obanai family said goodbye and left. Kobayashi's colleague, Takiya, also took Fafnir back home.

After taking a sip of coffee, Hachiman Hikigaya looked at his younger sister Komachi and said, "It's almost time. Mom said we have to go back at noon."

Komachi nodded: "Okay, okay, Yui-nee, let's go together!"

After learning that Yukino was still resting, Yui Yuigahama said goodbye to Luo Bai without hesitation and then went back with the Hikigaya siblings.

Volume 1: Chapter 472 A Gift for Elena (2/2)

In the afternoon, after having a simple meal at Luo Bai's house, Xiao Lin and Thor left to go back to their apartment to pack their things and prepare to return to their hometown.

As for Kanna, she was left at Luo Bai's house.

Kanna wasn't disappointed at all and happily stayed there, since she had friends to play with, which was enough for her.

After seeing Kobayashi and Tohru off, only Erma, Lucoa, and Elena remained as guests at the house.

Elena was currently following Yukino and Shinobu, watching them make pastries and bread.

Since Elena is currently traveling and is quite a distance from the next major city, Yukino thought she should take advantage of the time she has now to prepare some food for Elena to take with her.

In addition to what she had prepared, Yukino also asked Haruno to go out and buy some convenience foods, such as instant noodles and luncheon meat.

Although it doesn't taste very good, it's a good snack to eat when you're out and about.

Elena was very grateful for this.

Watching the two knead the dough, Elena said happily, "When I get to the next big city, I'll buy you some local specialties and bring them over. I completely forgot to buy anything in the Land of Magicians because I lost my brooch. I'll go back there when I have time."

Yukino smiled and said, "It's alright, let's talk about it when you return, Elaina. Besides, you've only just started your trip, and there are still many unknown sights ahead. There's no need to look back."

Elena nodded and said, "I know, traveling is my goal, of course I won't give up!"

Just then, the doorbell rang at the villa.

Luo Bai went over to open the door, then took two boxes back and placed them in front of Elena.

"Irena, this is for you."

"kindness?"

Elena curiously took the box and opened it, only to find two cell phones inside.

"This is?"

Luo Bai smiled and said, "The phone allows you to contact us from your world. We've all switched to this model now, so you can contact us even while traveling. The system language on the phone has also been changed to your world's language, though you can change it back to ours. You can also use this phone to log into our network. I don't know what kind of black technology Zhen Tu Huo Jin used to do it, but it works."

Picking up the phone, Elena said happily, "Really? That's great! Now if I'm traveling alone, I can chat with you guys! But why are there two phones here?"

"One of them is for your parents."

As he spoke, Luo Bai looked towards Lucoa.

"I'll have to trouble her to give the phone to your parents later, so you can contact them while you're traveling. By the way, regarding charging, this phone uses solar power, but you can also use magic to convert it into electrical energy to charge it; it's been specially modified."

Having already familiarized herself with mobile phones, Elena quickly turned one on and began to examine it after receiving it.

"Great! Hehe, I'll happily accept it. Thank you, Luo Bai!"

Then, I took my phone and went to exchange contact information with everyone.

Yukino looked at Luo Bai: "It must have cost a lot of money, right?"

"It's alright, at cost price, the same as your phones. As for the extra charging function, it won't cost much to modify, and Zhen Tu Huojin did it for free."

Seeing Elena's happy expression, Luo Bai smiled and said, "If you have any problems with magic later, you can contact Elena directly."

Yukino nodded: "Yes, that's really good. Elaina must feel lonely sometimes when she travels alone. Now she can contact us and her parents as well."

Soon, Elena had added everyone's contact information after going around the circle, and then Tina and Xia Shi dragged her out to play in the snow together.

After spending a day there, Elena finally returned to her own world to continue her journey.

As for Luo Bai, since there were only a few days left until the New Year, everyone chose not to go to the Suqing World at this time, but instead prepared for the New Year together.

Only Luo Bai, after receiving the message from the intelligence group, went to the world of Konosuba and found Sato Kazuma.

Just as Luo Bai predicted, Sato Kazuma is not from this world, but rather a traveler from another ordinary world. No information about a boy named Sato Kazuma could be found here.

After learning the news, Kazuma Sato felt a brief moment of disappointment, but he quickly adjusted his mindset.

"Thank you, Luo Bai, for making this trip."

Luo Bai smiled and shook his head: "It's nothing serious, just something to arrange for someone to investigate. By the way, it's almost New Year's where we are, would you like to go and experience modern society again? And while you're at it, take Aqua and the other two along for a few days?"

Upon hearing Luo Bai's suggestion, Sato Kazuma was immediately tempted.

However, he didn't agree immediately. Instead, he looked at Aqua and asked, "Can we go? Will there be any problems? After all, I'm a reincarnated person."

Aqua waved her hand dismissively: "It's alright, it's alright. Didn't you see you could even bring me down from the God Realm? Just remember to come back."

"Oh! Let's go then, Huihui, Darkness, what do you think?"

Huihui and Darkness exchanged a glance and then agreed.

They were also quite interested in the world that Kazuma originally lived in.

Although they are not the same world, they are similar worlds, and the living environments are basically the same.

After they made their decision, Luo Bai nodded and said, "You still have tasks to complete, right? Is two days enough? I'll come find you the day after tomorrow and take you there."

Sato Kazuma said confidently, "Don't worry, it's just some field investigation and monster clearing tasks. Two days should be enough!"

Huihui patted her flat chest proudly and said:

"Leave it to my invincible explosive magic!"

"No, I think we'll be more efficient if you don't cause trouble."

"Kazuma, what do you mean by that?!"

After Luo Bai and Zhen started arguing, Luo Bai smiled, then said goodbye and went back home.

When they got home, Yukino, Haruno, Shinobu, and Mai had just returned from shopping, having bought a large amount of meat ingredients for the New Year.

Just as she was about to go to the kitchen to help prepare the ingredients, Hoshino Ai was also planning to go back.

"Brother Luo Bai, I'm going back to Tokyo to prepare for my concert!"

Volume 1: Chapter 473 New Year's Eve (1/2)

Hoshino Ai threw herself into Luo Bai's arms, hugging him tightly with a face full of reluctance.

Luo Bai smiled and ruffled Hoshino Ai's hair, looking at her and saying, "Alright, the concert is important, let's go back and prepare. You'll still be back for New Year's Eve, right?"

"Yes, I'll be back!"

Nodding vigorously, Hoshino Ai said with a smile, "But according to Natsuki-nee, as long as the upcoming concert and new album are successful and my popularity rises, she will help me to try and get me into the next Kohaku Uta Gassen."

"Oh! The Kohaku Uta Gassen? With your talent, you can definitely do it by next year."

Japan's Kohaku Uta Gassen is similar to China's Spring Festival Gala, but it focuses more on singing and dancing, and the performers are basically the most popular singers and groups from the past year.

Ai Hoshino has just debuted as a solo singer and is still some distance away from qualifying for the Kohaku Uta Gassen (Red and White Song Battle).

However, with the concert starting after the New Year, Luo Bai believes that Hoshino Ai will definitely achieve success in the coming year.

After encouraging Hoshino Ai and giving her a hug and a kiss, Luo Bai then helped her into the car of her manager who had come to pick her up.

For the next few days, there weren't any special activities at home. The kids took advantage of the remaining snow outside and basically went out to have a snowball fight every day after finishing their homework.

On the day before New Year's Eve, Luo Bai took Yukino and Haruno back to Yukinoshita's house and had dinner with his parents-in-law.

On New Year's Eve, the couple had to attend a New Year's banquet for their family and some business partners, so they couldn't have dinner together with everyone.

It's good to go a day early, so the family can have a peaceful dinner and chat.

Yukino didn't really like attending New Year's banquets, and considering that Haruno wasn't ready to take over the family business yet, she wasn't allowed to go with Haruno, and was simply given a complete vacation at the end of the year.

And so, December 31st arrived, and it was time to ring in the new year.

While preparing dinner at home, Luo Bai received a video call from his mother.

Luo Bai placed his phone on the counter, pointing it at himself, and chatted with his mother while preparing the ingredients.

"Mom, are you home now?"

Mrs. Luo smiled and said, "Yes, you've finished work, so you're taking a day off early today. Are you alone in the kitchen? Where are Yukino and the others?"

"It snowed again last night. To make it easier to go out, Yukino led everyone to clear the snow from the yard." As she spoke, Luo Bai cut a piece of beef and piled it on a plate.

Just as she finished speaking, the kitchen door opened, and Little Chestnut Hat walked in.

"Trainer, we've cleared the snow from the yard. Do you need my help in the kitchen?"

Then, she saw Luo Bai's mother video chatting with him on her phone screen.

"Oh, hello, Auntie."

Xiao Limao hadn't met Luo's parents when she came here before, but she had seen them during video chats.

When Luo's mother saw Xiao Li Mao, she waved happily and said, "Good afternoon, Xiao Li Mao. How's your treatment going?"

"Yes, very good, progress is good, and we can prepare for the competition soon."

"That's good." Mrs. Luo said happily. "Then I won't bother you any longer. You can continue with your work."

After ending the video call, Luo Bai put his phone away and looked at Little Chestnut Hat, saying, "Little Chestnut Hat, could you help me chop the vegetables?"

"Okay, Trainer."

Little Chestnut Hat nodded, put on an apron, tied up her long hair, and then helped Luo Bai start chopping vegetables.

Little Chestnut Hat has loved eating this for a long time, and over time she has developed some cooking skills herself, so she can now easily chop vegetables.

After being busy in the kitchen for a while, Oguri Hat, who had been hit by a lot of snowballs, went to her room to change her clothes and came over with Yukino.

After entering the kitchen, Mi Yu said in a soft voice, "Brother, Mi Yu wants to help too."

Luo Bai turned around, smiled and nodded: "Okay, then you and Little Chestnut Hat can help chop the vegetables. Ask her if you don't know how."

Compared to Oguri Hat, Miyu is much less skilled in cooking, but she is also learning diligently.

Yukino then helped Luo Bai start marinating various kinds of meat.

"Isn't Shiyu coming over for dinner tomorrow?"

Luo Bai nodded and said, "Yes, I'm going with my family. I heard her uncle's family is coming too, and the two families will be celebrating the New Year together, so I won't have time. By the way, haven't He Zhen and the others come back yet?"

Sato Kazuma and his three companions were picked up by Luo Bai on the 27th and stayed in the guest rooms of the villa.

After two days of getting acquainted, Huihui and Darkness had completely adapted to modern life and were having a great time.

Aqua, needless to say, as the water goddess who has been guiding the reincarnation of humans from all walks of life, has naturally observed modern society long ago and is not at all uncomfortable.

Yukino smiled and said, "I called Darkness and asked them to buy two bottles of soy sauce and vinegar on their way back, as we're running low on condiments. They were almost done playing when I called, so they should be back soon, right?"

Ten minutes later, Kazuma and the other three finally returned.

Darkness, wearing a beige coat, opened the kitchen door and handed the shopping bag in her hand to Yukino.

"Here you go, Yukino, here's the soy sauce and vinegar you wanted."

Taking the things, Yukino smiled and said, "You've worked hard, Darkness. Go and rest. We can eat in another hour."

Darkness nodded. "Okay, I got it. By the way, Aqua bought a lot of alcohol on her way back. Do you guys want to drink tonight?"

Yukino and Rakubai exchanged a glance and then said, "Let's have a little bit of a drink. Darkness, you should also tell Aqua that we can't get drunk today."

"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on her!"

Although Darkness spoke with great conviction, Luo Bai still felt that it was somewhat unreliable.

Aqua doesn't seem like the type to want to be supervised.

At 6:30 p.m., the feast was ready, and Hoshino Ai finally made it back just in time to eat.

"I'm back! Great, the timing is perfect!"
