My fiancée Yukino

"Not yet!" Hongxia said happily. "We're planning to have Liang compose the music and Xiao Gudu write the lyrics! But she was stunned after hearing my suggestion. Oh right, and there's also band merchandise, I'm just starting to plan that too!"

As she spoke, Hongxia picked up a simple pink plastic bracelet, tied it on her wrist, and showed it to Hoshino Ai.

Looking at the bracelet on Nijika's wrist, Hoshino Ai said, "Isn't it a bit too simple?"

Then she looked at Little Lonely and waved her hand in front of him, which brought him back to his senses.

"what!"

Shaking slightly, Little Lonely shook his head repeatedly, saying, "I... I can't do it, writing lyrics and stuff!"

"Let's put writing lyrics aside for now, there's no rush." ​​Luo Bai looked at the girls and asked, "Have you thought of a name for your band yet?"

"Ah, the band's name!"

Hongxia then realized that the most important and first thing she needed to do hadn't been done yet!

"forget!"

The four girls looked at each other and decided to start thinking about a band name.

Kita tapped her chin with her slender fingers and said expectantly, "So, what should we name it? The band."

Hongxia raised her hand and said happily, "Then let's divide the work. According to the previous plan, Liang will write the music, Xiao Gudu will write the lyrics, and I will think of the band's name. Xiduo's current task is, of course, to practice the guitar and sing. After we decide on the band's name, you will be in charge of managing our band's social media accounts!"

Kita happily replied, "Okay! I got it. Leave it to me. I'll take lots of great photos and increase my fan count!"

Seeing this scene, Luo Bai smiled and said to Ijichi Seika, who was sitting on the other side, "Aren't you going to stop it?"

While reading, Ichika Hoshika said, "Alright, let them be excited for a while. The morning's practice went pretty well, so I won't dampen their enthusiasm for now. You guys, would you like something to drink?"

Luo Bai thought for a moment and said, "Give me a Coke. Shi Yu, Eriri, you can order whatever you want to drink."

Eriri happily walked over to the bar, looked around, and said, "Give me a mixed fruit juice!"

Shiyu then said, "Give me a cup of coffee, black coffee is fine."

"Okay, wait a moment."

While they were making drinks, the girls on the other side were getting more and more excited with their discussion.

Only Little Lonely, holding a simple bracelet, was extremely flustered.

Although she agreed to join the band, she's really not good at songwriting.

Just then, a large hand pressed down on her head and gently rubbed it.

Turning around, Xiao Gudu saw Luo Bai standing beside her, looking at her and saying, "What, are you worried you won't do well? Don't think so much. You can try anything. What if you happen to have a talent for it? Don't be afraid or deny it. Just give it a try."

Feeling the warmth above his head, Little Lonely nodded blankly, then quickly realized what was happening and his face instantly turned red.

Seeing this, Liang smiled slightly: "Oh dear, little Lonely, you're shy."

Hongxia laughed and said, "Hehe, isn't this normal? Little Lonely has never interacted with boys like this before. Senior, you can't do this to girls, especially someone as socially awkward as Little Lonely!"

Luo Bai lowered his hand and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I know. I just saw how worried she was, so I offered a few words of encouragement. So, do you have any specific direction for songwriting? Or are you just letting your creativity flow?"

Hongxia and Liang exchanged a glance and said, "I think we should leave it to Xiaogudu to see what kind of songs she wants. Liang and I talked for a long time last night. While the mainstream direction is also possible, we ultimately felt that since it's our own band, we should have our own style and not follow the crowd."

Liang nodded and looked at Xiao Gudu, saying, "That's right, that's our idea. Don't overthink it, just write in your own style. We'll discuss the final decision together later."

Kita also came over and said happily, "That's right, that's right, Goto-kun, you can do it!"

Unfortunately, Little Lonely wasn't listening to a word; she was still too shy.

Eriri walked over with her juice, glanced at Kotori, then looked at Luo Bai and said, "This girl, how come she's even more easily embarrassed than me?"

Hmm, they're quite self-aware.

"Want to try?"

As he spoke, Luo Bai reached out and touched Eriri's head, quite interested in her long, golden twin tails.

"No way! Don't even think about it!"

The next second, Eriri jumped away shyly.

Volume 1: Chapter 568 Game Beta Testing Status (2/2)

More than ten minutes later, Xiao Gudu's mood finally calmed down, but she still couldn't talk to Luo.

Bai stares straight ahead.

Shi Yu gently nudged Luo Bai's shoulder and whispered, "Hmph, Luo-jun, have you figured out how to solve this? You've really stirred up my lonely girlish heart!"

"No, no, that's not true. This girl is just shy."

Luo Bai didn't believe Shi Yu's nonsense. Little Lonely was just shy. Compared to romantic feelings, social anxiety had a much greater impact on her.

And that was indeed the case. While Xiao Gudu went to the bathroom, Hongxia quietly sneaked in.

After locking the bathroom door, Hongxia looked at the somewhat dumbfounded Xiaogudu and said with a smile, "Hehe, Xiaogudu, did something happen between you and Senior Luo Bai? You shouldn't be so shy."

"Huh? Oh, no, nothing like that!"

Little Lonely looked around, his mind involuntarily replaying the gossip his parents and sister had told him the night before.

At the same time, I also remembered the feeling of Luo Bai's warm hands rubbing my head earlier.

With a "thud," her fair face turned bright red again.

Hongxia's eyes lit up, and she said with boundless gossip, "There really is something going on. Tell me, and I promise I won't tell anyone!"

Helpless, Xiao Gudu awkwardly recounted what happened last night: Luo Bai drove her home, and what occurred after she arrived.

After hearing this, Hongxia said in surprise, "Oh! Senior, you were the last one to be taken home, Xiao Gudu. I thought it would be Xiduo! Hmm, it's normal for your parents to think that way, after all, it's just a lone man and woman, and Senior Luo Bai is quite handsome."

"Stop talking..."

"Hehe, what's there to be shy about? You're in high school now, it's normal for your family to think you're dating. But if your boyfriend is Senior Luo Bai, it might be a bit difficult. He has a huge harem, so you're not in a good position."

"Waaah! I didn't say I wanted to be in a relationship!"

Hongxia smiled and hugged Xiao Gudu, leading her outside.

"Okay, okay, I know, but if you have any thoughts, you can tell me, we're friends. Don't worry, I'll keep it a secret!"

In the afternoon, the band continued practicing, but Kita's guitar skills were not yet very proficient, so the practice was intermittent.

The good news is that Kita has a good talent for singing, and he shows excellent performance when singing songs by popular bands without using a guitar.

Hoshino Ai happily gave Kita some pointers during their break.

The weekend was similar to Saturday, but Luo Bai didn't go to STARRY again. Instead, he went out shopping and dated with Mai for a day, bought some new spring clothes, and enjoyed some quality time together.

In the past two days, the closed beta test of the Uma Musume Girl mobile game has also begun. In addition to the players who obtained test qualifications online, Luo Bai also got test qualifications for the girls in his family and sent a lot of carrots for gacha pulls to their respective accounts.

Compared to the horse racing mobile games I knew in my previous life, this mobile game has much richer content. Although the raising process is still quite long, the development team has added many interesting interactive elements during the raising process.

Furthermore, the visuals, details, and special effects when the horse girls' skills are activated are all done much better.

One of the highlights of the game, the 3D Live performance, naturally utilizes the best technology currently available, with professional dancers performing motion capture for the entire performance.

The entire cast of voice actors sang their songs, and almost every song had a version sung by all the Uma Musume Girls. This alone took a lot of resources and time to create.

In just two days over the weekend, the closed beta of Uma Musume Pretty Derby caused a huge stir in Japan, with numerous discussion threads appearing on various game forums.

Because the number of beta test qualifications was limited, many players who couldn't participate could only watch videos online and stream from game streamers who had obtained qualifications.

In just two days, many videos of Uma Musume Nozomi (the horse girl) have started appearing online, including recordings of live performances from the game, which have garnered a very high number of views.

Among them, the video of Mi Yu's performance, with Hoshino Ai as the voice actress, naturally received the most views.

Although Miyu hasn't appeared in the anime yet, her introverted and delicate personality shown in the game, coupled with her cute character design and Hoshino Ai's voice, has naturally attracted a lot of attention.

Tuesday noon, serving in the department.

Looking at the game's internal testing data report sent by the company for the past three days, Luo Bai nodded in satisfaction: "That's good, the data is very good. The average online time has remained above three hours per day, and it's steadily increasing every day."

Hachiman Hikigaya also obtained the test qualification and is currently training Rudolph, the horse girl he obtained at the start of the game.

Hachiman Hikigaya leaned over to take a look at the report and asked, "But are you really not planning to allow in-game purchases during the closed beta?"

"You get a good amount of carrots every day just by logging in, plus the rewards from tasks, which is enough. And it's only for two weeks, so you don't need to recharge or anything. The numerical team has tested it, and even in the worst-case scenario, the carrots given by the system are enough to make the game very comfortable during the test period. Of course, after the official launch, there won't be as many test-exclusive carrots given away, and free-to-play players will need to accumulate them slowly on their own. So, how's the experience after three days of playing?"

"very good!"

Hachiman Hikigaya said with satisfaction, "Because I still have to study, I don't play much on weekends. Occasionally, I'll have Komachi help me play. I've successfully completed the scenario and raised several horse girls with good stats. I'm currently researching the arena. Are there any other playable content later on?"

Luo Bai nodded and said, "That's right. The club content hasn't been launched yet. There will also be various mini-games later, both single-player and multiplayer, such as eating contests and jump rope competitions. There are many mini-games, and they are still under development. You can get a lot of rewards by playing them, including carrots and fragments."

In addition to the usual activities like running the game, raising horses, and playing in the arena, Luo Bai also arranged for the production team to create many other channels for obtaining rewards and resources.

Of course, all of this revolves around the horse girls, who remain the most important element. No matter which page you're on, you can see beautiful and energetic horse girls.

After closing the report, Luo Bai stretched and said, "Things are going well now. We'll see what the live stream event does tonight. We'll be giving away some more test qualifications and some newly developed merchandise. As things stand, as long as nothing goes wrong, we can start counting our money after the game launches. Recouping our development costs is just a matter of time."

Volume 1: Chapter 569 After School (1/2)

Luo Bai himself did not play the mobile game "Uma Musume Girls".

After all, I already have two adorable horse girls in real life, so there's really no need to raise them in a game.

After the afternoon classes, since Hoshino Ai had taken the day off to work in Tokyo, Luo Bai didn't plan to go to STARRY. Instead, he decided to go to the club to read some books.

However, before going to the Service Club, she still came to the first-year high school area to pick up Kanao and go together.

After arriving at the first-year high school, Kanao, who had received Luo Bai's message, had already packed her schoolbag and was waiting at the classroom door.

The two met up, and Luo Bai affectionately ruffled Kanao's hair, looking at the cheerful girl with her eyes squinted, and asked, "What happened in class this afternoon?"

How is it going?

Luo Bai knew Kanao's class schedule; there were English and math classes in the afternoon, followed by a physical education class.

While Kanao's English is also excellent, it is slightly weaker compared to her other subjects, especially in grammar.

Kanao nodded: "I'm studying hard, but the teacher's spoken English is different from what my brother teaches, so it sounds a bit awkward."

Luo Bai smiled and said, "That's normal. Just follow my instructions. Anyway, the exam doesn't test your speaking skills."

As they were talking, Kita and Kotori also came out from the two classes next door.

Upon seeing Kita, Luo Bai smiled and raised his hand: "Good afternoon, Ms. Gui Qu Lai Xi."

Upon hearing Luo Bai call out like that, Kita Yuyo's little face immediately turned bright red.

"Ah! Senior, I told you not to call me that!!!"

Little Lonely, standing to the side, couldn't help but cover his mouth and chuckle.

Ms. Gui Qu Lai Xi is actually a Chinese name derived from Kita Ikuyo's Japanese name.

The name Kita Ikuyo sounds the same as "laita" (to arrive) and "kokuyo" (to go) in Japanese. If you change it to Chinese and make it sound more elegant, like "gui qu lai xi" (to return home), it wouldn't be a problem.

It's also a running joke about Kita Ikuyo's name.

Over the weekend at STARRY, Xiao Ai told everyone about the name issue that Luo Bai had secretly mentioned in private, which made everyone finally realize the problem that they had initially overlooked.

As the instigator, Luo Bai naturally provoked Ms. Gui Qu Lai Xi to storm into the Service Department on Monday noon and give her a good denunciation.

Although it sounds much better than the Japanese, the meaning is the same, which made Kita Ikuyo very frustrated.

However, only a day later, Luo Bai, who had promised not to say it again, blurted it out.

Fortunately, it was in Chinese, and the students around him didn't understand it very well, otherwise Kita felt like he would have really died.

Even so, their interaction still drew curious glances from the surrounding students.

Luo Bai laughed and said, "Haha, sorry, don't worry, I won't say it at school. You guys are going to STARRY next, right? We won't be coming today. You guys practice hard, we'll come back in a couple of days."

"What do you mean you won't say it at school? Doesn't that mean you'll say it outside? Senior, you're lying!"

After puffing out his cheeks and grumbling angrily, Kita asked, "Senior, is there something you need?"

Luo Bai shook his head and said, "Nothing's wrong. I'm a senior in high school now, so I'm going to study at the club for a while. Also, it's my turn to cook at home today, so I have to go home and cook."

"Oh! I see. Well then, Goto and I will head out now. We'll come back to the shop when you have time, senior! Let's go, Goto."

Hearing Kita call his name, Kotori nodded and whispered to Luo Bai and Kanao, "Senior, see you tomorrow, Tsuyukiro-san."

After watching the two leave, Luo Bai and Kanao went to the Service Club together.

Although Ai isn't here today, there are still two more people in the Service Club: Yuta Togashi and Rikka Takanashi.
