My fiancée Yukino

"What? It's almost all spent?"

Seeing the text message that Liang only had a little over 20,000 yuan left in savings, Hongxia and everyone else who had gathered around looked at Liang in disbelief.

Volume 1: Chapter 788 Is Body Shape a Genetic Issue? (2/2)

Faced with everyone's gaze, even Liang, who is usually a bit of a loser, showed a rare shy expression.

Scratching her cheek, Liang said in a low voice, "I can't help it, I already had a lot of things I wanted to buy, both in stores and online. As soon as I got my salary, I started a big spending spree. But don't worry, this time I can definitely make it until payday!"

"That's not it!"

Hongxia shouted loudly, then pressed Liang's shoulder and said, "You can't keep spending money like this! Liang, how many times have you done this? At least try to save the money you earn from your studies. Don't your aunt and uncle ever think about saving some for you?"

Liang shook her head and said, "No, they stopped giving me pocket money after I was able to earn my own, so naturally they wouldn't say they would help me save money."

Kita said, "As for me, my allowance has doubled compared to before. My mom has put the rest of the money into a newly opened card, and she gives it to me whenever I need it."

Hongxia also looked at Luo Bai and said, "Senior, you should also say something about Liang. If you keep wasting money like this, you can't keep saving money!"

Luo Bai gave his half-eaten box of ice cream to Mordred, who still hadn't had enough, and said with a smile, "Hongxia is really good at managing a household. She'll definitely be a good wife in the future. And you're right, Liang really needs to be more careful. From now on, split your salary into two separate accounts. Save some of it in another card every month for emergencies. Also, try to restrain yourself from buying bass guitars and such."

"Good, good wife and all that..."

Hongxia barely heard what Luo Bai said after that. She was already covering her burning cheeks and looking down in embarrassment.

Liang glanced at her friend in surprise, then nodded: "I understand, I'll do my best."

At 4:30 pm, Luo Bai and Mordred played for a while before saying goodbye and going home.

When they got home, everyone else had also returned, including Philon and the others who had gone to play with Kanna, and even Kanna, Tohru, and Kobayashi had come.

"Long time no see, Sister Lin."

Wearing glasses, Kobayashi smiled and said, "Sorry to bother you today. Xia Shi and the others dragged me here, saying there's a barbecue party tonight."

"Yes, a barbecue party! Let's have fun together tonight, it'll be a lot of fun."

Luo Bai originally wanted Hong Xia and the others to come too, but STARRY was about to open for business and they couldn't leave, so they had to wait until next time.

As they were talking, Kanna jogged over and hugged Luo Bai's leg.

Luo Bai smiled and picked up Kanna, nuzzling her round little face as he said, "Good afternoon, Kanna. Did you have fun with Xia Shi and the others today?"

Kanna nodded vigorously: "Yes, I'm happy! We went to catch rhinoceros beetles! Their horns are so big! It's a pity Xia Shi won't let me eat them. I really want to know what rhinoceros beetles taste like."

"Haha, you can't eat rhinoceros beetles, Kanna, you still haven't broken this habit."

Just then, Thor, dressed in a maid outfit, came out of the kitchen and said with a smile, "You have to keep a close eye on her when she goes out, otherwise Kanna might eat something."

Patting Kanna's head, Luo Bai said, "She's a dragon, that's normal. Besides, Kanna is still young, just teach her properly."

Kanna replied, "Okay, Kanna understands!"

"See, Kanna is still very well-behaved."

Seeing this, Kobayashi smiled and shook his head: "Kanna and you are really close. If it weren't for the fact that classmates often come to visit her, she would definitely come over every day."

Carrying Kanna to the sofa, Luo Bai said, "I've been quite busy before, so I couldn't see Kanna when she came. But I'll have time during the summer vacation. After Xiao Ai's concert, we're planning to go to the beach. It'll be a private beach, so no one will bother us. Xiao Lin, Tohru, do you want to come?"

"Want to go to the beach?" Kobayashi didn't really want to be in the sun, but seeing Thor's sparkling eyes, she had no choice but to agree. "Let's go then. Tell me when you have time so I can ask for leave from work."

Although Xiaolin's boss and Luo Bai had a good relationship, they weren't on the same side, so she couldn't be careless when it came to asking for leave.

Half an hour later, Shinobu Kocho returned to work with her sisters, along with Erma, who had just finished a business trip.

"Luo Bai, I'm here too!" Elma said happily, carrying a big bag of snacks. "These are delicious treats I bought in Hokkaido, I didn't come empty-handed!"

Luo Bai smiled and said, "Welcome back, Elma. Did you just get back?"

"Oh right, I only arrived in Chiba this afternoon. I heard from Shinobu that there was a barbecue party, so I came!"

Then, she happily distributed the snacks she had to everyone.

As a foodie, Eruma never forgets to collect all kinds of delicious food even when she goes on business trips. This time, she brought back snacks that she thinks are delicious.

After happily finishing a bag of snacks, Luo Bai went to the kitchen to help prepare various ingredients for the barbecue party.

There are many people in my family, so even for a barbecue, we prepare a lot of things.

Before the meal, Luo Bai, just like at noon, prepared a grilled meat rice bowl for Hoshino Ai in Tokyo and delivered it directly there before returning to join everyone's barbecue party.

Seeing Luo Bai return, Philon ran over with a skewer of freshly grilled meat in his hand and handed it to Luo Bai.

"elder brother!"

Luo Bai smiled, took a bite, and patted Philon's head, saying, "Thank you, Philon, have you eaten?"

"Yes, I've already had one skewer, and it was delicious."

"Let's go then. I'll do the grilling. I'm a professional at grilling."

Everyone ate quite a bit at the barbecue, using up most of the ingredients they had stored.

There's no way around it, there are just too many big eaters in the family, and then three dragon girls came over, it's hard not to finish everything.

After the barbecue party, Kobayashi, Tohru, Kanna, and Elma said goodbye and went home.

In the living room, Eriri took a sip of barley tea, rubbed her stomach, and said, "I can't take it anymore, I've really eaten too much. Every time I come here, I can't help but eat more. If this continues, I'm really going to get fat."

“I think you’re too thin. You really need to eat more.” Mordred, who was standing next to her, took a bite of a strawberry daifuku and said with a smile, “It’s a pity that as a Heroic Spirit, my figure is already set. Otherwise, I would really like to have a better figure. Well, at least a little more.”

　After saying that, he looked at Artoria, who was also eating snacks on the other side, with some regret.

"Now it seems it's probably genetic, but that doesn't make sense, Mother's figure was still very good..."

"kindness?"

Hearing Mordred's words, Artoria turned her head, swallowed the daifuku in her mouth, and said, "You can't say that. The reason I am the way I am now is because I pulled out the sword in the stone, which stopped my physical growth. You know what I looked like when I used the Holy Lance in the Lostbelt. So Mordred, you can't blame me for how you turned out."

"What? It's clearly your problem!"

Then comes a new round of paternal love... no, maternal love and filial piety.

Volume 1: Chapter 789 An Experiment in Summoning Heroic Spirits? (1/2)

After taking a relaxing bath with Yukino and Haruno, Luo Bai went downstairs and saw Philon, Tina, and Xia Shi still looking at the rhinoceros beetles they had caught that day, which were placed in a transparent box.

Luo Bai grabbed a can of iced cola from the refrigerator and walked over to ask, "Are you planning to raise this?"

Philon shook his head: "We'll release them back into the wild tomorrow where we caught them. We're planning to look for other animals."

Xia Shi also said, "That's right, that's right, the insect observation diary is finished, and we're going to go find squirrels next!"

"Squirrels? You'll have to go further afield to find them, to larger parks or forests near the suburbs," Luo Bai said after thinking for a moment. "If you go, remember to bring mosquito repellent, otherwise you'll easily get bitten by bugs, okay?"

"I got it~~"

While drinking cola and watching TV, Eriri, who had been upstairs talking on the phone with her editor, also came downstairs.

Eriri, who had also just finished showering, didn't tie her twin tails up this time. Her long, golden hair was loose, a sight rarely seen except when she was sleeping.

Wearing a nightgown, Eriri glanced at the three boxes of rhinoceros beetles on the table and said curiously, "It seems like very few people catch these anymore, especially children."

Luo Bai said with a smile, "They're just having fun. They'll release them tomorrow and then go find the squirrels."

"Sigh... I really envy kids. They're willing to go out and play even in this hot weather."

As he spoke, he took Luo Bai's Coke, took a sip, and let out a comfortable sigh.

Then, Eriri heard Philon say, "I've learned the magic to cool down, so it's not hot when I go out to play. You just need to use an umbrella, otherwise the sun is too strong."

"...Having a talent for magic really makes a difference."

After offering a compliment, Eriri looked at Philon and asked, "Philon, how much magic have you learned now?"

Philon thought for a moment, then counted on his fingers, "Basic attack magic, then defensive magic, and my brother won't let me learn flight magic yet. As for other things, I've learned cooling magic and fireball magic. I've also learned a little magic, including spell bullets and projection, but I'm not very proficient at using projection yet."

"Sigh! Have you even learned how to project?" Eriri said, hugging her knees in frustration. "I've been trying to learn that for ages and still haven't mastered it, but I have learned how to use the spell bullet."

Medea, sitting on the other single sofa, said, "This is still the result of us limiting Philon's learning speed. This child has a very strong ability to understand; she can master a spell after learning it a few times. But to prevent her from trying to learn too much at once, we won't teach her the next spell until she has completely mastered it. In addition, we don't plan to teach anything too advanced right now."

"Stop talking, the more you talk, the more heartbroken I feel."

Eriri shook her head, got up to get a box of ice cream, and then silently began to eat it.

After a while, Philon and his two friends completely lost interest in the rhinoceros beetle, so they put it aside and stopped paying attention to it, instead pulling Last Order to play Monopoly.

"Everyone, I'm back again!"

Suddenly, the portal opened, and Elena walked in with light steps.

Luo Bai smiled and said, "Why did you suddenly come here? Weren't you traveling?"

"Hehe, I arrived in a new town, walked around for a bit and found nothing interesting, so I came to check it out. It's definitely better here, it's so cool!"

After taking off her boots, Elena walked barefoot on the floor, happily enjoying the air conditioning.

"Didn't you learn the magic to cool down?"

"I've learned it, but it's quite troublesome to keep it on all the time. I still prefer to use the area-of-effect type when I'm in the room."

Looking at the ice cream Eriri was eating, Luo Bai asked, "Is there any more ice cream?"

Luo Bai pointed in the direction of the storage room: "Yes, we bought a freezer today specifically for storing ice cream. It's already full. Go and choose one yourself."

"Great!!!"

With a cheer, Elena jumped up from the sofa and ran to pick out ice cream. She finally chose a box of Häagen-Dazs and happily began to eat it.

Half an hour later, Rin, Sakura, Gudako, and Mashu emerged from the underground magic workshop.

Rin, Sakura, and Mashu looked alright, but Gudako looked incredibly frustrated.

What's wrong with Ritsuka?

Gudako replied dejectedly, "Didn't they say that Servants are already being born in the Throne of Heroes? So we were just about to try to communicate with the Throne of Heroes and summon a Servant. We tried for a long time and studied and improved the summoning magic circle for a long time, but we still failed in the end."

"Summoning Heroic Spirits?"

Luo Bai had no idea that these people were secretly researching something so big.

But summoning Heroic Spirits...

After pondering for a moment, Luo Bai looked at them and asked, "You said you also improved the magic circle. Did you record it? Let me see."

"for you."

Rin took out the notebook and handed it to Luo Bai.

Upon opening it, Luo Bai indeed found a modified image of a heroic spirit summoning.

After studying it carefully, Luo Bai said, "The direction of the modification is fine, and if it is further improved, it is indeed possible to summon heroic spirits. However, I do not agree with you doing this now."

Gudako asked curiously, "Huh? Why? If we can successfully summon them? Putting aside our situation, the Guardian organizations around the world could gain some pretty good immediate combat power!"

Luo Bai smiled and said, "Indeed, the Heroic Spirits are very strong, but Ritsuka, you overlooked a very important issue. That is, even if the summoned Heroic Spirit Servant is just a copy of the original, their memories and personality are still basically the same as the original. This is why the Heroic Spirits all have their own personalities and styles of doing things."

After a pause, Luo Bai pointed to the heroic spirits in his home.

"While our servants are all quite easy to get along with, that's only true for now. If we had a different Master, things might be different. Besides, even a magician who performs a summoning ritual, using the right artifacts, can't guarantee that the summoned Servant will be the one they want. Gilgamesh, for example, has several different personalities."

With her hands supporting her chin, Lin said dejectedly, "Then what do you suggest we do? We can't just give up on the research, can we? We've already improved it to this extent."

Luo Bai said with a smile, "I already have some ideas. Don't worry, I'll go out tomorrow to talk to someone."

Then he looked at Ilya, who was flipping through a fashion magazine.

"Ilya, would you like to go back to your own world? I happen to have some things to take care of there."

"Go!"

Ilya slammed the magazine shut, a smile of excitement spreading across her face.

Volume 1: Chapter 790 Returning to the Fate World (2/2)

The next day, nine o'clock in the morning.

After finishing breakfast, Luo Bai took Mordred, Ushiwakamaru, Illya, and Hercules and set off for the Fate world.
