My fiancée Yukino

Turning around, Medusa smiled and said, "You're back? I thought you'd chat with the Knight King a little longer."

Looking at Medusa's completely naked appearance, Luo Bai couldn't help but swallow.

"So, what's going on?"

Medusa pushed up her glasses and lightly licked her lips.

"I'm a little short on magic."

Volume 1: The Sixth Singularity Begins in Chapter 623 (1/2)

In the early morning, Luo Bai opened his eyes and saw that the person beside him had turned back into Hoshino Ai. He let out a sigh of relief with mixed feelings.

I really didn't expect that Medusa would suddenly run over from next door to my side last night.

Sakura is lacking in mana. Her body hasn't fully recovered yet, so her mana production is naturally lower. Plus, Medusa isn't a Servant but a complete Heroic Spirit, so she needs even more mana daily, which is normal.

I didn't expect her to actually do it; it was just to replenish mana.

"There's no other way; besides bloodsucking, this is the most suitable method, isn't it? And I don't dislike you at all. You helped my Master and allowed me to have a new life. I really want to thank you, so don't feel guilty~~"

Recalling Medusa's words from last night, Luo Bai smiled and shook his head.

There might be some psychological burden at first, but after the event, it really does disappear.

However, Luo Bai did not expect that, despite it being his first time playing Medusa, he would adapt so quickly that he almost became addicted to it.

Looking at the time, it was already seven in the morning. Luo Bai woke up Hoshino Ai and then got up.

After changing into her sportswear and going downstairs, Lizzie was already in the living room, dressed in a black and white maid outfit, diligently cleaning.

Inside the kitchen, Sera, Sakura, and Shinobu were making breakfast.

Seeing Luo Bai come downstairs, Liselle, holding a mop in one hand, bowed to Luo Bai and said, "Good morning, Luo-kun."

"Good morning, Lizzie. But the house is quite clean, there's no need to clean it every day. Besides, we have a robot vacuum, but we sometimes forget to use it?"

Lizzie blinked and pointed expressionlessly at the gym, saying, "The robot vacuum is cleaning the gym right now. I was just about to mop the floor here. Relying solely on the robot vacuum is too inefficient."

"Really? Well, thank you for your hard work, but don't overwork yourself. You all need to get some rest and recuperation today."

As he spoke, Luo Bai went to the kitchen.

"Good morning, what time did you all get up? Sakura too, she could have slept in longer, her body hasn't fully recovered yet."

Sakura, who was learning to make dumplings from Shinobu Kocho, turned around and said with a smile, "Good morning, senpai. I feel pretty good. I woke up naturally this morning. I had nothing to do, so I came over to help out."

Shinobu Kocho put down a wrapped bun and looked at Luo Bai, saying, "Luo-kun, we'll take care of breakfast. You can go exercise."

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

After a good workout at the gym, Luo Bai went upstairs to wash up and change his clothes. He then dragged Hoshino Ai, who was still lazing in bed, out of bed and threw her into the bathroom to wash up. After that, he woke up Xia Shi and Tina, who were also lazing in bed, before finally coming downstairs.

Fifteen minutes later, breakfast began, and Ilya was the last one to arrive, yawning as she walked in, still in her pajamas.

"Good morning..."

Seeing Ilya sitting down groggily, Luo Bai said with a smile, "You're late, Ilya. Did you stay up late last night?"

Ilya picked up her cup, took a sip of milk, and said, "I didn't stay up all night, I just played games for a little while, well, a little."

Seeing her like this, Luo Bai knew that it was definitely not as simple as just playing around for a little while.

Shaking her head, Luo Bai didn't say anything more. Anyway, she didn't have to go to school now, so she could play as much as she wanted. If she got tired, she could just sleep more.

However, given Illya's fostering of a love for games, she and Eriri were able to find common ground later on.

After breakfast, Yukino and the others went to school, while Luo Bai came to the base with Illya, Rin, Sakura, and others.

Ilya and Sakura went together, along with Lyselite and Sera, to receive treatment. Rin also went along, intending to ask Lucoa for some healing-related magic.

Artoria, just like yesterday, continued to serve as the combat instructor for the action team.

Although Artoria didn't think the team members were very strong, they were all mentally sound and had good talent, so Artoria was quite interested in helping to train them.

After Artoria left, Luo Bai, led by Masato Mokujin, arrived at an underground library in the base.

"This collection contains books on the mystical side that cannot be made public, including magic, black magic, rituals, witchcraft, Taoist arts, and various fighting and killing techniques. Although they are all dungeons, you can find whatever you want here. I told you about it last time, but you said you didn't need to do any improvement for the time being, so you didn't come. I didn't expect that less than two months later, this time has come."

Luo Bai shrugged helplessly.

“I didn’t want to either, but now that I’ve promised Dr. Roman, I definitely have to find a way. There’s less than a month left, so I’ll try my best. At least, I need to find a way to safely separate Dr. Roman’s human side after he and the other party have died together.”

Zhen Tu Huojin chuckled and patted Luo Bai on the shoulder: "Alright, you can keep an eye on it for now. I'll go ask that old man, the End Emperor, for you. He should be quite interested in the crisis of the destruction of another world's civilization, and Goetia."

"Okay, thank you for your help."

After leaving Zhen Tu Huo Jin, Luo Bai scratched his head, went to the computer, and began searching.

"Although it's a library that hides mystical things, the system is still very modern, which is really good."

For the next few days, Luo Bai spent most of his time here, absorbing useful knowledge from the library while searching for feasible methods.

Back in Chaldea, Dr. Roman also called to say that Gudako, Mash, and Shirou Emiya had already set off for Uruk.

"Uruk..."

Flipping through a book about divination, Luo Bai muttered to himself, "If I remember correctly, this singularity..."

"I have quite a few helpers: Ishtar, the leopard-man, Ereshkigal, and oh yes, Quetzalcoatl, who, like Lucoa, is a feathered serpent god. Ishtar and Ereshkigal are possessed by Rin from another timeline, while the leopard-man is possessed by Fujimura Taiga. Tsk tsk, how about we go to Uruk? It would be really interesting if we brought Rin along."

It wasn't just the meeting between the two Rin; the story of the Absolute Demonic Front in Uruk also involved extremely heavy casualties on the Uruk side.

After thinking it over, Luo Bai decided to focus on studying and improving for now. He would call Roman when he got home that night and let him know if there were any major operations, so he could come over anytime.

Volume 1: Chapter 624 The Rice Bath Competition: No Suspense What Happened (2/2)

As Luo Bai continued his studies, the day of the competition between Mi Yu and Xiao Li Mao arrived.

The two races were scheduled to be held one after the other. The rice bath race started first, and the 3000-meter long-distance G1 race, Chrysanthemum View, was held in Kyoto.

On this day, Luo Bai did not go to the base again, but instead brought his whole family to the world of Uma Musume Girls.

Seeing so many spectators at the stadium, Ilya exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, so many people! No wonder this is the event with the largest audience here!"

Luo Bai and Xiao Li Mao had already gone to help Mi Yu prepare for the competition, so Yukino led the team here. They checked their tickets and entered the stadium, finding seats in the front row.

As soon as I arrived, I saw the Spica team led by Nishizaki Ryu.

Looking at the now-grown group, Nishizaki Ryu exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, this is quite a lively place! Did the whole family come together?"

Yukino smiled and nodded: "Hello, you're here to cheer for McQueen, right? But this time, the champion will definitely be Miyu."

Yamato Akachi retorted, "Impossible! McQueen has undergone rigorous training during this period. Even Mi Yu, who once defeated McQueen, absolutely cannot defeat McQueen this time!"

"That's right!"

Amidst the chorus of affirmations from the spica, the East Sea Emperor and the Golden Ship remained unusually silent, as Mi Yu had already made his appearance in the distance.

In the long-awaited competition, Mi Yu's appearance exuded a powerful aura, putting immense pressure on the other female horse riders present.

Even Megumi McQueen, who had experienced this before and occasionally had small competitions during school training, noticed the unprecedented pressure emanating from Mi Yu and couldn't help but become serious.

"Mi Yu, this time you're really serious."

Mi Yu didn't even glance at his opponents, and walked straight to his gate, preparing to enter.

Meanwhile, in the distant stands, Artoria was also very surprised.

"I haven't seen Mi Yu train before. Isn't this kid usually so soft and gentle? But once he gets on the field, he's like a completely different person. He has a really impressive presence. The field is like a battlefield, and suppressing the opponent's momentum before the match even starts is an excellent tactic!"

Artoria expressed high praise for Mi Yu's performance.

Shiyu said with a smile, "Not every racehorse girl can do this. Oguri Hat has learned a little bit, but the effect is far less powerful than Miyu's. It can be said to be her unique trick."

At this point, Nishizaki Ryu also began to have some concerns about the match.

He realized that Mi Yu had definitely been hiding her true strength during the past few months of training, secretly undergoing training that her opponents were unaware of.

Meanwhile, McQueen, as their rival, severely underestimated Mi Yu's strength.

Looking at the emperor and the golden ship who had remained silent, he said, "Did you all realize this a long time ago?"

The Emperor of the East Sea nodded: "Yesterday afternoon, I saw Mi Yu jogging back to her dormitory. There were already some signs at that time. I could feel that she was looking forward to the competition and had been suppressing herself. Today, she completely exploded. McQueen may have a very difficult time in this competition."

Golden Ship also said, "Although I really don't want to boost the opponent's morale, the situation with Mi Yu is indeed terrifying. McQueen is a bit better, but the other female racehorses probably won't even be able to perform at 70% of their strength, and they might even have trouble entering the gate."

Sure enough, as soon as Golden Ship finished speaking, Qingyun Sky, a participant, encountered difficulties entering the gate, clearly affected by Mi Yu.

"The training over this period of time has indeed allowed Mi Yu to unleash his full potential."

Luo Bai's voice came, and everyone finally saw Luo Bai and Xiao Li Mao arrive. Xiao Li Mao was even holding several skewers of grilled sausages, grilled corn, and grilled carrots, while Luo Bai was holding two cups of hot drinks.

The two of them showed absolutely no sign of tension, as if the outcome was already predetermined.

After rejoining the main group, Oguri saw Artoria's greedy look and generously handed her the two skewers of sausages he was holding.

"Here you go, I already ate two skewers on my way here."

"Thank you, it smells so good! I'll buy some after the match!"

Seeing this, Mai smiled wryly and said, "Didn't you just finish breakfast before leaving the house?"

Artoria took a big bite of the sausage, chewing elegantly as she said nonchalantly, "Breakfast and snacks are different, so don't worry about us overeating."

Oguri nodded in agreement: "That's right, I've been controlling my food intake lately. I ate a little today, but I have to prepare for the competition in the next two days, so I can't eat like this. Trainer, please prepare a big meal for me after my competition."

Luo Bai smiled and patted Little Chestnut Hat's head and his upright ears.

"Of course, a victory celebration banquet will definitely be held."

Whether it's rice baths or chestnut hats, Luo Bai has 100% confidence in them.

Five minutes later, Qingyun Sky finally entered the gate, and the competition officially began after the countdown ended.

Although his strength had improved, Mi Yu did not rush to take the lead. Instead, he followed McQueen and Qingyun Tiankong in an orderly manner, observing the situation.

Throughout this time, Mi Yu continued to unleash her power, putting immense pressure on the surrounding horse girls, causing them to accelerate in order to escape Mi Yu.

Unfortunately, no matter how fast the surrounding horse girls accelerated, Miyu maintained the same acceleration. She didn't expend much energy, but the horse girls in the middle and back positions gradually ran out of energy and widened the gap with the top few.

As the race progressed and the course became more than halfway through, Mi Yu estimated that it was about time. After taking a deep breath, she immediately activated her breathing technique, instantly accelerating her speed.

The incredible acceleration startled Mi Yu and Qingyun Tiankong, who were barely maintaining first and second place. Even if they wanted to block the way, it was too late. They could only watch helplessly as Mi Yu easily overtook them from the side, passing the finish line by a full five body lengths without any suspense.

"The competition is over! Black Assassin Mi Yu, after months of silence, has made a stunning comeback, winning the Chrysanthemum Award with an unparalleled advantage! Second place goes to White McQueen, and third place to Azure Sky!"

After crossing the finish line, Qingyun Tiankong stopped and looked at Mi Yu, who was smiling and waving to the audience. He exclaimed in shock, "How come she doesn't seem to have exerted any effort at all? She's not tired at all! I'm exhausted. I've never felt this much pressure competing against anyone else..."

McQueen was also panting, a huge sense of frustration weighing on his mind.

This was yet another defeat for her, and she felt even more powerless than before.

Volume 1: Chapter 625 Preparing to Depart (1/2)

After the competition ends, it's naturally the winner's stage.

The stage performance of the winning Uma Musume Girls once again refreshed Rin and the others' understanding of Uma Musume Girls.

After the performance, everyone went backstage. Rin remarked with a sigh, "Being a racehorse girl is really not easy. Not only do you have to be able to run, but you also have to be able to sing and dance."

Artoria also said, "Their singing and dancing skills are so much better than what we had back then. They're really amazing."

Hoshino Ai, however, retorted defiantly, "Hmph, when my concert starts, I'll show you, Artoria-neechan, my skills! I'm the best!"

In other aspects, forget about her, but when it comes to singing and dancing, Hoshino Ai will not easily admit defeat.

After the performance, Mi Yu, who had changed back into her everyday clothes, went to a nearby hotel for a big meal before returning home to rest.

Three days later, Oguri Hat made his comeback in the Autumn Emperor's Sho.

The number of spectators attending this competition was even greater than that of the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Festival in Kyoto a few days ago; the audience was so large that they could hardly fit in front of the large screen in the plaza outside the venue.

Oguri Hat's fanbase is absolutely top-tier, far exceeding the number of active G1 racehorse girls.

Originally, Oguri had faded from the competition. Although he did not directly announce his retirement, due to the impact of injuries, fans felt that it was pretty much over, so they did not have high hopes.

Unexpectedly, he actually made a comeback this time, and it was a high-profile competition like the Autumn Emperor's Slam, which immediately raised the fans' expectations to the max, and they all came to the competition on this day.

And Oguri Hat's performance did not disappoint the fans.

In the 2,000-meter race, Oguri Hattori took the lead from the start, maintaining an absolute dominance and finishing the race at lightning speed with a nearly ten-body-length advantage over the second-place runner, thus officially announcing his return to the race.
