My fiancée Yukino

Fafner's assessment surprised Luo Bai somewhat.

"Is that so? To be honest, I don't even know my own abilities, and I've never seen any other superpowered individuals. Even the guardian here, I've never seen him unleash any powerful abilities."

Speaking of the Guardians, Fafnir's expression was somewhat disdainful: "Guardians? Hmph! They only have the power to contend with us because of the rules."

Lucoa, standing to the side, chuckled and said, "Don't mind Fafnir, he's always like this, he doesn't like anyone. Come on, Lobo, Yukino, let's have a drink!"

Luo Bai smiled and declined, "I'm sorry, Miss Lucoa, Yukino and I can't drink alcohol, we're not adults yet."

Although he wasn't from this area and didn't need to follow the rules too much, Luo Bai didn't think he could hold his liquor as well as Quetzalcoatl, nor did he want to be drunk by Lucoa.

Volume 1: Chapter 104 Everyone is here, Yukino's request (1/2)

Upon hearing Luo Bai's answer, Lucoa's face was filled with regret.

"Oh well, what's going on? Well then, I guess I'll just have to have Kobayashi drink with me later."

As he spoke, he picked up his glass, downed the beer in one gulp, and burped without a care for decorum.

Kobayashi led Yukino to sit down on the sofa, poured them both tea, and then asked, "Is Mai still working?"

“That’s right.” Luo Bai nodded with a smile. “Senior is recording a variety show today, she’ll come over after she’s done.”

"kindness?"

Upon hearing this, Takiya Makoto turned around curiously, adjusted his glasses, and asked, "Is anyone else coming?"

Kobayashi laughed and said, "Yes, it's a friend I knew before, a very popular actress. Mai Sakurajima, you know her?"

"Huh? Huh?! Really?"

Takiya Makoto exclaimed in surprise, "Is it really Sakurajima Mai?"

He then looked at Luo Bai and Xue Nai.

Luo Bai nodded and said, "Yes, we are classmates and neighbors with Senior. We knew Kobayashi-nee before, as well as Tohru and Kanna. Kobayashi-nee invited Senior over when she moved. Takiya-kun, are you a fan of Senior?"

"Haha, I might not call myself a fan, but I've seen quite a few of her TV dramas and movies. She's really a very talented young actress! However, there are quite a few people in the company who are her fans, right, Xiaolin?"

Kobayashi nodded: "That's right, there are indeed quite a few people who are fans of Mai Sakurajima."

Takiya Makoto sighed, "If they find out later that you and Sakurajima Mai have become acquainted..."

"They'll definitely envy you."

"Forget it, let's not talk about it. I want to have some peace and quiet at work."

Takiya Shin agreed with a smile. Indeed, if he said it out loud, many people would definitely get very excited, which wouldn't be good.

Mai Sakurajima won't be here for another two hours or so, so we have plenty of time in the afternoon.

Luo Bai, on the other hand, focused his attention on the television that was playing a game.

"Oh! Demon Souls, I didn't expect it to be this." Looking at the game, Luo Bai said in surprise, "Speaking of which, why are we playing Demon Souls instead of Elden Ring?"

Takiya Makoto laughed and said, "It's because when Fafnir first came here, he saw me playing this game, so I tried it out. As for the Elden Ring, let's wait until he completes that before we switch."

Hearing their conversation, Fafnir, who was exploring, turned around: "Elden Ring? What game?"

Takiya Shin pointed at the TV and said, "It's from the same company that made the original game. It's their latest open-world Souls-like game with a huge map. You can run around and explore everywhere from the very beginning."

Luo Bai, standing to the side, added, "Dragons would probably love collecting all sorts of treasures, right? You can collect a lot of different weapons and armor in the Elden Ring, as well as many spells. The world there is also much larger than the Demon Soul!"

Upon hearing this, Fafnir immediately put down the handle.

"Change games, I want to play Elden Ring!"

Clearly, Fafnir has become interested in the Elden Ring.

Although Demon Souls allows you to choose which map to play first, it still offers significantly less freedom compared to Elden's Circle.

Kobayashi's family has quite a collection of games. Takiya Makoto directly found the Elden Ring game disc, put it into the machine, and let Fafnir start playing.

Looking at this game with its magical feel, Yukino also became a little interested.

He gently poked Luo Bai's arm and asked, "Is this game really that fun?"

Luo Bai nodded: "It's really fun. When it was released, I spent several days playing it non-stop. Although there are some unfriendly parts in the game, overall it's an excellent game. Want to play? I downloaded it on my home computer after I transferred here."

"Okay, I'll try it when I get back."

Although it looks like a 3D open-world game like Zelda, Yukino isn't sure if she can handle this type of game.

However, I really want to experience this kind of fantasy-themed game.

Fafnir, following Takiya's instructions, started playing. After passing through the underground area of ​​the tutorial and arriving at the surface area of ​​the border, he unsurprisingly encountered the first challenge for beginners.

The big tree guards.

Although Takiya Makoto said that they could skip the boss fight, the stubborn Fafnir showed no sign of backing down and began a stalemate with the Great Tree Guardian, which lasted for more than half an hour.

Since it was a single-player game, Luo Bai and Yukino didn't participate. Instead, they played a card game with Kanna while chatting with Kobayashi and Tohru.

At 3 p.m., Mai Sakurajima finally arrived at Kobayashi's apartment building on time in the car arranged by her company.

When the doorbell rang, Tohru went to open the door and brought in Mai Sakurajima, who was carrying a large box of sweets.

"Hello everyone!"

Mai Sakurajima handed the sweets to Kobayashi, saying, "Here you go, Kobayashi-nee, congratulations on moving to your new home. This is a gift box I ordered from a confectionery shop; their food is really delicious."

Kobayashi happily accepted it, placed it on the table, and said, "Thank you, Mai. Everyone, come and eat! Fafnir, you should rest too; you've been playing for a long time!"

Fafnir sniffed and smelled a rich, creamy aroma, so he simply put down the handle.

"Conserve your energy and fight again later."

Tea was poured for everyone, and we sat down together to eat some snacks.

Kanna picked up a fork, cut a piece of cake, and opened her mouth.

"Mmm! Delicious!"

Mai Sakurajima smiled and patted Kanna's head, looking at her and saying, "Eat more if you like, there's still plenty left."

After taking a bite of the cake, Thor exclaimed in surprise, "It tastes really good! Looks like I'll have to learn how to make pastries next."

Both his new home and his previous apartment had ovens, though Thor only used them to roast meat back then.

While eating cake, Yukino remembered something she had wanted to ask the dragons, so she looked at Lucoa and said, "Miss Lucoa, I would like to ask you something."

Lucoa tilted her head curiously: "Huh? What is it?"

Yukino said, "My constitution has been poor since I was a child, and I have very poor physical strength, so I wanted to ask if there is any way to improve my constitution?"

"Sigh... Is it something to do with your physical condition? Let me take a look."

After hearing this, Lucoa left her seat and came to Yukino's side, gently pinching Yukino's arm to check it.

Volume 1: Chapter 105 Equivalent Exchange (2/2)

Seeing Lucoa's actions, Kobayashi looked at Luo Bai and asked, "Is Yukino's constitution not good?"

Luo Bai nodded: "That's right. Due to physical limitations, Yukino can't improve to a higher level in many sports. She's been like this since she was little. For example, Aikido, tennis, badminton, and swimming and long-distance running are the same. If she runs more than 500 meters, her physical strength will drop sharply. Any sport that requires physical strength has a great limitation on Yukino."

"Oh, I see. That is indeed a problem."

Kobayashi was somewhat surprised. Although her physical fitness was also poor, it wasn't to the extent that Yukino was in. It seemed that it was indeed a matter of physical constitution.

Lucoa quickly finished the examination and said with some surprise, "Yukino's health is indeed not very good. Although she doesn't have any problems with daily life now, she is still a bit weak. In the future, when you get married and have children, there might be some risks in this regard."

Upon hearing this, Yukino immediately tensed up.

"Then, is there a solution?"

"Hmph, I do!" With her hands on her hips, Lucoa proudly puffed out her ample bosom, which no one else present could match, and said with a smile, "If it were anyone else, they might really be unable to solve this, but these are all minor matters for me. I have quite a few potion formulas that can improve Yukino's physique. However, I can't just give them to you so easily. It has to be an equal exchange, understand?"

Yukino nodded to indicate that she understood: "But Miss Lucoa, you shouldn't need any money, right?"

"That's right, I don't need money."

Lucoa shook her finger and then looked at Luo Bai, "Little Luo Bai, Yukino is your fiancée, you should be willing to do something, right?"

Luo Bai roughly understood and readily agreed: "Okay, what do you need me to do?"

Since Lucoa has already said it, he naturally wouldn't ask for anything that Lucoa can't do; it should be within Lucoa's capabilities.

Seeing that Luo Bai had agreed, Lucoa nodded in satisfaction: "You're going to Tokyo tomorrow, right? Be a little careful; there might be a troublesome guy there. The guardian of Tokyo is away recently; her men should handle him."

No. I can't directly interfere in these matters; you're the most suitable person I know.

Is he a troublesome guy?

Luo Bai stroked his chin, thought for a moment, and then said, "No problem, leave it to me. But from what you've said, the other side hasn't shown up yet?"

"That's right, it hasn't appeared yet. I suddenly had a premonition when I went out today, and I'm really worried about it."

Luo Bai nodded. Although he didn't know what kind of guy would appear, these were not problems. He was confident he could handle it.

Seeing that Luo Bai had agreed, Lucoa was very happy, and then took out a dragon head ornament carved from wood from her pocket.

"Take this. When you encounter that unknown creature, press the dragon's eye area to create a cognitive impairment zone. That way, no matter how you fight, you won't be detected by ordinary people."

"This is good stuff, I'll take it."

Luo Bai took it directly, looked at it, and then put it into his open pocket.

Then, Lucoa looked at Yukino and said, "As for Yukino's problem, I'll go back today to collect the ingredients for making the potion and then refine it. It should be ready by tomorrow. Don't worry, just one cup will gradually improve your physique over the next month, bringing it to a normal level. And if you continue to exercise, your body will get better and better!"

Yukino smiled and thanked her, "Thank you, Ms. Lucoa."

"You're welcome~" Lucoa smiled and shook her head, looking at Luo Bai and saying, "It's mainly because of Luo Bai. As I said, it's an equal exchange."

Yukino naturally knew all this. She looked at Luo Bai, and the two exchanged a glance. The atmosphere immediately began to change.

Thor was eating cake, and although it was supposed to be sweet, it tasted incredibly sour to her.

It's so sour, so incredibly sour. When will I be able to be like that with Kobayashi?

After discussing Yukino and the events in Tokyo tomorrow, everyone continued drinking afternoon tea, while also talking about the dangerous creatures that had traveled from another world.

Takiya Makoto took a sip of black tea and shook his head, saying, "I never expected this. I thought the existence of dragons in this world was already impressive enough, but I never imagined that there were other, even more terrifying creatures."

Thor seemed unfazed, calmly stating, "It's normal. The world is full of wonders, and there are many unusual creatures, but they're nothing to me. As for the unknown creature that Lucoa foresaw would appear tomorrow, I could take care of it with one hand."

Lucoa smiled and nodded: "Yes, Thor can definitely solve it, but you won't be going to Tokyo anyway."

"Um...that's true. Tokyo is a bit far. I'd rather stay with Kobayashi than go there!"

In order to continue living in human society, Tohru has signed an agreement with Madoka Kakuzu, the guardian of Chiba, which generally prohibits him from taking action.

Although dealing with non-human creatures is not within the scope of this rule, now that Luo Bai has taken over, Thor naturally does not need to spend his energy on this matter.

She'd rather use that time to figure out how to win over Kobayashi!

Yukino didn't say anything, but silently took Luo Bai's hand, feeling a little worried.

Luo Bai smiled and said, "Don't worry, as Fafnir said earlier, I'm one of the strongest humans he's ever seen, so there won't be any problems."

Yukino pursed her lips, ultimately choosing to believe Luo Bai.

After afternoon tea, Tohru went to cook dinner. After becoming Kobayashi's dragon maid, Tohru began to seriously learn cooking skills.

Thanks to the dragon race's extraordinary learning ability, Thor's culinary skills are now comparable to those of restaurant chefs.

At six o'clock in the evening, thanks to Thor's efforts, a table of dishes, some bold and some delicate, was served.

Luo Bai was also seeing Thor's cooking skills for the first time, and said in great surprise, "Wow, it's amazing! It looks so appetizing, and the color, aroma, and taste are all perfect!"

Thor put her hands on her hips and said smugly, "Hmph, I'm the strongest maid. Cooking is no problem for me at all!"

Kobayashi walked over with a smile, sat down in her seat, and said, "Stop praising Thor, or she'll fly away. Alright, everyone, let's eat."

Everyone poured themselves a beer or a soft drink, and then raised their glasses together.

"cheers!!!"

The dinner party lasted until 9 p.m., and everyone enjoyed themselves immensely.

Lucoa and the others weren't planning to go back yet, but Luo Bai, Yukino, and Sakurajima Mai said goodbye and left; they had to go to Tokyo tomorrow.
