My fiancée Yukino

Yang Nai nodded and said, "More or less. Judging by the looks of it, it shouldn't be too difficult. My mother has other things to attend to."

"Should I have this arranged?"

Yukinoshita's mother said with a barely perceptible smile, "Yes, but it's not about the company. After you graduate from university, you'll be of a certain age, so let's have the baby then, what do you think?"

"Ugh?"

Yang Nai couldn't help but widen her eyes and turn to look at her mother.

Under the cover of night, Yang Nai could vaguely make out his mother's expression and said thoughtfully, "Mother, do you want to hold your grandson?"

Yukino's mother didn't hide anything and said firmly, "You've all grown up, and there's nothing I can do to take care of you anymore. The only thing I have left to look forward to is your future children. Yukino is still young, and it will be several years before she has a child, so naturally, it's Haruno who will go first."

Yukino, who was sleeping on the other side, chuckled and said, "I think so too. It would be suitable for my sister to have a child first. That way, my mother can help with the education and it will be easier for her to inherit the Yukinoshita family in the future."

"Sigh...we're bringing this up again!"

Yang Nai puffed out her cheeks and said, "I want to experience more of life. I've heard that giving birth is really tiring, and taking care of the baby afterward is also exhausting..."

“You’ll have to have a baby sooner or later anyway, so it’s definitely best to have one while you’re young,” Yukino’s mother said. “You’re young and healthy now. If you wait until you’re over thirty, the physical strain will be immense. Of course, you’re practicing breathing techniques now, which might lessen that strain, but I still think it’s best to have a baby while you’re young. As for taking care of the child, with so many people in the family, are you worried about not being able to take good care of them?”

"That's true..."

Yang Nai had no way to refute her mother's words.

After much thought, it seems that having a child right after graduation wouldn't be a big problem.

While you're still young, you'll recover your figure faster after giving birth.

Shaking her head, Yang Nai said, "Okay, I can consider it. But it's too early now. I still have two years until I graduate. I'm only a junior. Besides, Mother, it's better if you talk to me first and talk to Xiaobai to persuade him. Whether or not to have a child is not a decision I can make alone."

Yukinoshita's mother said directly, "I'm not worried about Shiro, I'm mainly worried that you don't want to have a baby so early. And it's not just me, your mother-in-law also really wants a grandson, so it's basically certain that the first child will be yours."

Yukino covered her mouth and chuckled, "There's no other way, my older sister is the oldest and most suitable."

"Yukino, don't talk like I'm so old, I'm only 21!"

Watching her two daughters bickering, Yukinoshita's mother was in an exceptionally good mood.

......

The next day, morning.

After waking up, Luo's mother checked the time and found that it was almost eight o'clock in the morning. So she woke up Tina and Xia Shi, and they all left the room together.

After washing up and going downstairs, I found Yukino, Mai, and Shinobu already preparing breakfast in the kitchen.

When Luo's mother realized she couldn't see Luo Bai, she asked, "Yukino, where's Little White?"

After taking the fried dumplings out of the pan, Yukino pointed outside and said, "He's sparring with Kanao outside; they should be done soon."

So, Mrs. Luo left the kitchen and went to the front yard of the villa.

As soon as they came out, they saw Luo Bai and Kanao wielding their respective Nichirin Blades, engaging in a rapid exchange of blows in the courtyard.

While fighting, Luo Bai could also find time to point out the shortcomings in Kanao's combat and help her improve.

Seeing his mother come out with Xia Shi and Tina out of the corner of his eye, Luo Bai said, "That's enough for today."

With a gentle press of his Nichirin Blade, he blocked Kanao's attack.

Kanao stopped walking, took a moment to catch her breath, and nodded.

Luo Bai put away the Nichirin Blade, hugged the two little girls who ran over, and looked at his mother with a smile.

"Mom, you're up? How did you sleep last night?"

Mrs. Luo nodded happily: "It's very good. The bed is very comfortable, and the room is always temperature-controlled, so it's not cold at all. Now that you've finished practicing, hurry back to your room. It's still a bit cold outside."

Volume 1: Chapter 532 New Equipment (2/2)

After breakfast, Luo Bai went to Kazuma and the others to get Huihui's staff and the materials to make the staff before returning to his own world.

Back home, Luo Bai first contacted Lucoa, gave her Huihui's staff to study, and then handed her the materials.

"Lucoya, I'll leave this to you."

Taking the materials, Lucoa smiled and said, "It's alright. I've been free these past few days anyway, and it's been a while since I've made these kinds of things. It's quite interesting. Hmm, let me see. I can pick it up in about half an hour. You can go ahead and do your own thing."

Luo Bai said in surprise, "Half an hour? As expected of Lucoa. Then I'll go to Sima Heavy Industries first."

After saying goodbye to Lucoa, Luo Bai arrived at Sima Heavy Industries' manufacturing plant.

Sima Weizhi was already waiting here. Upon seeing Luo Bai arrive, she immediately ran over happily.

Good morning, Luo Jun. Are you here alone?

Luo Bai smiled and nodded: "Yes, we just finished breakfast. I told the others to rest at home for a bit, since we're leaving to play soon. By the way, are you going to come along for a few days? You haven't really been to Axel, have you?"

"sure!"

Upon seeing Luo Bai's invitation, Sima Weizhi readily agreed and then pulled Luo Bai's arm to walk inside.

"Let's go, the equipment you requested has been made. See if there's anything that needs improvement."

The two arrived at an equipment room, where Luo Bai saw knight's swords and shields displayed on the weapon racks.

The design of the knight's sword was similar to the one Darkness had used before. Luo Bai picked it up and weighed it, finding that it was lighter.

Sima Weizhi came to Luo Bai's side and introduced, "For the knight's sword, we used a newly developed special metal, which reduces the weight while making it sharper, without weakening its toughness in the slightest. As for the shield, since Miss Darkness is more adept at defense than offense, we focused on the shield in its production. We used top-quality materials and kept the weight to a minimum without compromising its defensive performance."

Picking up the silver shield with pale gold patterns along the edges, Luo Bai held it up in his hand and gestured with it.

"This weight is good; with Darkness's strength, he could definitely lift it easily. Have you tested its defensive capabilities?"

"Of course, this is the test video and data."

Sima Weizhi took the tablet from the table next to her, opened it, and handed it to Luo Bai.

Looking at the test video, Luo Bai said in surprise, "It's heat resistant too? Did they add magical metals?"

"Of course, after all, that's a magical world, isn't it? This is the most basic thing."

Seeing Luo Bai nod repeatedly, Sima Weizhi smiled and said, "Shields are already within our research and development scope. The organization will face a variety of enemies, and all kinds of weapons and equipment are needed. Good shields can also help the members of the action team to reduce casualties."

After reviewing the test data, Luo Bai put away his sword and shield with satisfaction.

"The items are great, but these are really troublesome."

"You guys, how much is it? I'll transfer it to you directly."

Seeing Luo Bai's insistence, Sima Weizhi didn't insist on not charging money, and instead smiled and quoted a cost price.

In any case, the team made many new attempts and obtained very useful data during the process of making the shield. They never thought of making money from a single shield.

They got the items, but it would take some time for Lucoa to make the staff, so Luo Bai followed Sima Weizhi and strolled around Sima Heavy Industry for a while to see the new equipment that had been recently developed.

For example, high-energy rifles, powered exoskeleton armor, etc., some of which are still in the concept and first batch of testing stages, but their future effects can already be seen.

Twenty minutes later, Luo Bai, accompanied by Sima Weizhi, arrived at Lucoa's residence and received the new staff that had been made for Huihui.

The new staff is about one-third longer than the original, and looks almost the same as the original. It is made of wood and doesn't have many fancy elements.

However, at the top of the staff is a completely red gemstone.

After holding the staff in his hand, Luo Bai could feel the magical energy emanating from it. The staff was constantly absorbing energy from the outside world and converting it into magic power to be supplied to him.

"This is?"

Seeing Luo Bai looking at him, Lucoa smiled and nodded: "I added a magic circle inside the staff, which can automatically absorb magic power and transfer it to the holder. Of course, the premise is that the person must have magic power in their body to activate it. This thing is quite suitable for Huihui, right? Although the conversion speed is not very fast, it can also prevent Huihui from being so depleted of magic power that she cannot even move after using an explosion spell."

Luo Bai nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "This is indeed a good thing. Thanks. I don't think you need to pay for the workmanship. Is there anything I can do for you?"

Lucoa chuckled, "No need, but I happen to be free these two days, so let me go over there with you and maybe I can freeload some food."

"Sure, let's go together then. It would be best if you, as the maker, could personally tell Huihui about the specific performance of the staff."

And so, originally it was just Luo Bai and Sima Weizhi going back to Axel, but now Lucoa has joined them.

After the three arrived at the villa in Axel, Kazuma and the others also arrived and were chatting with Yukino and the others.

Seeing Lucoa and Shima Miori arrive, Yukino said in surprise, "It looks like the number of people going on the trip today is going to increase again."

Luo Bai said with a smile, "We were all free at the time, so we came to play together. Here, Darkness and Huihui, here's your new gear."

Darkness and Megumin were both very excited to receive the new equipment from Luo Bai.

Holding a sword in his left hand and a shield in his right, Darkness felt the weight of the equipment in his hands and was very satisfied.

"These are really great pieces of equipment, especially this shield, it's just my type!"

Huihui was in a similar state. As soon as she picked up the staff and felt the magic power emanating from it, she immediately screamed excitedly.

"Oh! Power, power is surging forth! I really want to unleash an explosion spell!"

The girl's excited appearance prompted Kazuma to quickly pull her back.

"We're indoors now, so just bear with it!"

Huihui, on the other hand, looked like she couldn't hold back any longer and said shyly, "But, but, this new staff is just too amazing, I really can't resist!"

Luo Bai laughed and said, "Alright, since you can't help it, Lucoa, could you do me a favor? Take Huihui to the forest where you've been casting Explosion Magic. The headless knight's stronghold castle should still be there, so just cast it there. Also, explain your new equipment to her while you're at it."

Lucoa smiled and nodded, then set off with Megumin.

Volume 1: Chapter 533 Outing (1/2)

The round trip was quick; in less than three minutes, Lucoa returned with a completely exhausted Megumin.

Back in the villa, Huihui sat down in a chair, hugging her staff excitedly, and said, "That's amazing! The power of the Explosion Magic has increased by almost ten percent compared to before! And after the magic power was exhausted, it quickly replenished my magic power, so I can move around slowly now!"

Seeing Huihui's expression, Kazuma finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Great, this way I won't have to carry Huihui and run away after she uses her Explosion Magic."

Huihui didn't listen to Kazuma's words at all, and continued to hug her new staff and giggle foolishly.

With their new equipment ready, Kazuma's team prepared to set off to complete their new mission: investigating an abandoned haunted house.

Luo Bai and his group also set off for a day trip to the countryside.

Sitting in the prepared carriage, everyone left Axel and headed towards the plains outside.

The crater caused by the Destroyer yesterday is still there, but we will arrange for people to fill it in and restore the area to its original state.

Looking out the carriage window at the grassland scenery and the little monsters that occasionally darted by in the distance, Mama Luo said curiously, "The environment here is really different. But is it alright to continue going further out?"

Sitting in the front driving the carriage, Luo Bai smiled and said, "Don't worry, I've already asked the guild. There haven't been any major threatening monsters appearing in the plains outside Axel recently. Even if there are, they're nothing compared to yesterday's mobile fortress. They're easy to deal with, and you can even bring them back to the guild for a reward. There are plenty of people willing to buy some special monsters."

Compared to having no monsters at all, Luo Bai would much rather see some monsters he's never seen before, so he could observe and study them properly.

After passing through the initial plains, the group arrived at a densely forested area with a large lake.

After parking and securing the carriage, it's about time; we can have lunch here today.

Luo Bai took out various pots, pans, and vegetables from his bracelet, leaving the preparation work to Yukino and the others, while he went into the forest to look for some good wild game.

Ten minutes later, Luo Bai returned safely, carrying five white-feathered pheasants and two small wild boars, along with the vegetables and rice he had brought, enough for everyone to have a good meal.

For the next three days, everyone enjoyed a comfortable adventure here. The camping tents and bedding were specially made, and it was very comfortable to stay in. No one felt uncomfortable at all.

Mr. Luo finally finished the acquisition and let Luo Bai take over, joining the trip.

Four days later, the group returned to Axel, reunited with Kazuma and the other three, rested for a day, and then set off for the homeland of the Crimson Demon Clan.

It has to be said that the Crimson Demon Clan are indeed full of chuunibyou (a Japanese term for someone with delusions of grandeur). Luo Bai has forgotten the specific details, but it seems that due to the modifications, every member of the Crimson Demon Clan is a magical genius. Moreover, the ancestors who were initially modified were all chuunibyou, which led to their descendants inheriting this chuunibyou personality.

In short, they're a group of people who are both silly and awesome.

After spending a few days in the Crimson Demon Village, everyone returned to their own world. School was about to start, and Miyu and Oguri Hat had rested enough and needed to adjust their condition to prepare for the upcoming competition.

I came back and rested for two days.

Queen, Mai's school starts earlier than everyone else.

At the villa in Tokyo, Mai, dressed in casual clothes, slung her newly bought small bag over her shoulder, grabbed the keys to her new car, and happily said to Luo Bai, "Then I'm off to school! I'll be back in Chiba for dinner tonight!"

Luo Bai smiled and nodded, then hugged and kissed Mai before saying, "If you meet any nice classmates and want to have a get-together, give me a call beforehand."

"Okay, okay~~"

Mai snuggled against Luo Bai's chest, then went out, got into her car, and set off.

After practicing for a while, Mai bought a new car. Originally, Haruno suggested that she buy a sports car like a Porsche, but Haruno chose a relatively ordinary BMW instead.
