My fiancée Yukino

Then, Nagatsuki Minami took Kasumigaoka Utaha and left first.

Only Lucoa and Luo Bai remained at the scene. Lucoa waved her hand, erasing all traces of the battle, and said with a smile, "Little Luo Bai, you're quite the ladies' man~~"

Luo Bai said helplessly, "Miss Lucoa, please stop teasing me."

Lucoa chuckled and patted Luo Bai on the shoulder: "Alright, alright, let's not talk about it anymore. Now that things are over, I should go back. As for this potion, Yukino can just drink it when we get back; there won't be any side effects."

"I understand, thank you very much, I'll treat you to dinner sometime."

Volume 1: Chapter 110 Return to Chiba (1/2)

Thanks to the items given by Lucoa, the events that occurred here were not discovered by anyone outside, and everything was resolved smoothly.

As they walked out of the alley, Luo Bai looked at Lucoa and said, "Aren't you going to come with me to the film studio to take a look?"

Lucoa smiled and shook her head: "I won't go this time, I have some things to do. Maybe next time."

"Okay, see you later."

After waving to Lucoa, Luo Bai headed towards the photography studio.

Seeing Luo Bai leave, Lucoa stretched her neck and walked in another direction.

"Well, it's time to take care of the next thing!"

After fifteen minutes, Luo Bai finally returned to the studio.

Filming continues, and Mai Sakurajima and the other two have already changed their outfits twice more.

Upon seeing Luo Bai return, Yukino immediately stopped chatting with her older sister, ran over, took Luo Bai's hand, and asked softly, "Are you alright?"

Luo Bai chuckled and pinched Yukino's cheek: "Do I look like I'm in trouble? Don't worry, it's all taken care of, it was very simple. Also, I've finished preparing the things for Lucoa and handed them over to her. Drink them when you get back tonight."

Yukino breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "Yes, it's good that you're alright."

The two held hands and returned to the group, watching the ongoing filming.

Yang asked curiously, "Xiaobai, what are you doing?"

"It's nothing, I was called away to help out, it's just a small thing."

These things were naturally not something that could be told to Yang Nai, but Luo Bai always felt that as Yukino's older sister, Yang Nai would find out about these things sooner or later.

Let's not reveal it now, we'll talk about it later.

Upon hearing Luo Bai's words, Yang Nai looked at him with suspicion, then at Yukino.

It's confirmed; they really are hiding something from me.

"What? They actually treat me like an outsider."

Yang Nai's dissatisfaction caused Luo Bai and Yukino to exchange a helpless glance.

What can we do? We can only continue to keep it a secret, after all, these are things we can't just talk about.

At this point, filming was paused. Mai Sakurajima and the others only had one more outfit to film, so they took a short break before changing.

Returning from the filming area, Mai Sakurajima smiled and said, "Luo Bai-kun is back! In about twenty minutes, today's filming will be over. After work, shall we find a place to rest, or go straight home?"

Luo Bai looked at the three of them and said, "Let's listen to you. It's still early, so it would be nice to find a place to sit down."

Mai Sakurajima clapped her hands and said with a smile, "Then how about we find a place to have afternoon tea? I asked my manager, and there are several nice cafes around here! Because this place is close to some talent agencies and TV stations, if we're lucky, we might see a lot of popular singers and idols!"

Luo Bai and Yukino weren't interested in the celebrities, but Yui Yuigahama and Komachi were quite interested. During their break, the girls gathered together and chatted curiously.

Half an hour later, the photoshoot ended. After Mai Sakurajima and the other two changed back into their own clothes, the magazine staff gave them a few sets of clothes.

These are all new outfits that will be available for sale in the next few days. They're not really useful for anything other than photoshoots, so I just gave them to the three of them.

Besides Mai Sakurajima's consistently excellent performance, the magazine was also very satisfied with the two newcomers, Yui Yuigahama and Saki Kawasaki. They expect the final product to be very good, so when thanking them, they also mentioned wanting to work together again next time.

Mai Sakurajima left these matters to her manager, and Yui Yuigahama and Saki Kawasaki were not opposed to scheduling them for the weekend.

After leaving the photography studio, everyone took the company-arranged car and coincidentally arrived at the coffee shop that Luo Bai had visited that afternoon, where they had afternoon tea.

Around 4 p.m., Yono went back to school, while the others returned to Chiba.

After dropping off the Hikigaya siblings, Yui Yuigahama, and Saki Kawasaki at their homes, Rakuhaku, Yukino, and Mai Sakurajima also returned to their apartment building.

Getting out of the car and looking at the apartment building in front of her, Mai Sakurajima stretched and said, "Finally back! Shall we cook dinner ourselves?"

Looking at Yukino who seemed a bit tired, Luo Bai said, "Everyone's pretty tired, let's order takeout tonight."

Neither of the girls had any problems, so they decided to order takeout.

After going upstairs, Mai Sakurajima went back to her room to change clothes, while Luo Bai and Yukino returned to the apartment.

After playing with the two kittens at home, the two sat down on the sofa, and Luo Bai took out the magic potion from his pocket and handed it to Yukino.

"Here, drink it."

Looking at the small bottle containing less than 100 milliliters of pale purple liquid, Yukino nodded, opened it, and drank it down in one gulp.

After finishing her drink, Yukino pursed her lips and said, "It tastes like grapes, and I didn't feel anything after drinking it."

Luo Bai smiled and said, "You won't feel anything so quickly. Lucoa said it's a gradual process that will slowly improve your physique over a month."

"kindness."

Yukino nodded, gently leaning against Luo Bai and hugging him. "Tell me what happened this afternoon. What kind of enemy appeared?"

"Just like the one in the hotel before, he's a ghoul, but he's much stronger."

Holding Yukino in his arms, Luo Bai recounted his afternoon experiences to her in detail, including how he had saved a girl.

When Yukino heard that the ghoul had tricked a human into taking her to an alley to eat her, she was very surprised: "I didn't expect that they would use such methods. Their appearance is no different from a human's, so it's really hard to guard against them."

"That's right, it is indeed very difficult to guard against."

Then, Luo Bai recounted how he saved the girl and defeated the ghoul named Rize Kamishiro, and finally, Lucoa and the guardian of the Tokyo area, Nagatsuki Minami, appeared.

After Luo Bai finished speaking, Xue Nai looked at him, raised her hand and poked Luo Bai's cheek, saying, "You're a hero saving a damsel in distress, aren't you feeling pretty smug?"

"I'm not feeling smug at all, that's the truth."

Luo Bai shrugged and said calmly, "I would save anyone, let alone someone who was deceived because of their kindness."

"So, is that girl pretty?"

Luo Bai looked at Yukino with surprise and smiled, "Nervous?"

"I'm asking you something."

Seeing Yukino's serious expression, Roabi smiled and shook her head, then said, "She has black hair like you, and she's probably around our age. Is she pretty...? Well, she is pretty."

As for the other person's figure, Luo Bai decided not to mention it for now, otherwise Yukino's mood would definitely be bad.

Volume 1: Chapter 111 Yukino is a little jealous (2/2)

Unfortunately, although Luo Bai didn't say it, Yukino still keenly guessed that the other person's figure was definitely better than hers.

There was nothing she could do; Yukino knew her figure was definitely not among the best for girls her age. Although she had grown a bit recently, it wasn't very noticeable.

Looking down at her own figure, Yukino immediately raised her hand and began to rub Luo Bai's cheeks repeatedly.

What could Luo Bai do in this situation? He could only let Yukino knead him.

After rubbing for a while, Yukino's mood improved somewhat.

Leaning against Luo Bai's chest, she said with a hint of jealousy in her voice, "He even asked for your contact information. Could it be that he fell in love at first sight?"

"I don't know that."

Luo Bai didn't hide anything and said truthfully, "I just exchanged contact information with her. After all, she said very seriously that she wanted to thank me and give me a gift, so it was really hard to refuse. Then, she left with Nangong Nayue, probably to do something like identity registration."

Yukino nodded, deciding to temporarily set aside her attention for Kasumigaoka Utaha.

After all, the other party lives in Tokyo, which is not far from Chiba where they live, but they don't always keep in touch.

Then, Yukino turned her attention to the guardian of Tokyo.

"That guardian looks like a little girl? Really?"

“That’s right, he’s only about 1.4 meters tall, looks like an elementary school student, not even as tall as Komachi,” Luo Bai said with a smile. “However, his demeanor is very mature, he looks at least in his twenties. It’s probably just his own characteristics, so his appearance is fixed at this age.”

Luo Bai didn't remember much about Nangong Nayue's character design in Strike the Blood, but her original body shouldn't have looked like this.

However, everything is different from the original work now, so Luo Bai can't make a judgment. Perhaps the other party will tell him when they meet again in the future.

Holding Yukino's small hand, Luo Bai kissed the girl's cheek and said, "Alright, is there anything else you want to ask? I'll answer whatever I know."

"It's gone for now."

Yukino shook her head, picked up Luo Bai's phone from the coffee table, and said, "Let's discuss what to have for dinner when Senpai arrives. By the way, there is something we should tell Senpai about what's going on with us. She's already suspecting we're hiding something from her."

Luo Bai also remembered, and his expression became somewhat troubled.

“This is indeed a problem. Yang Nai is very smart. Now that she finds out we're hiding something, she'll definitely investigate out of curiosity. If it were anything else, it wouldn't matter, but these kinds of things can easily lead to danger if we're not careful. Whether it was the demon I encountered at the beginning, or the monsters and ghouls later on, they are not things that ordinary people can handle.”

If it were anyone else, it would be easy to fool them, but that's Yang Nai, there's no way to fool her.

This time it was just that the other party didn't notice. If she had noticed even the slightest clue, it would have been very easy for her to investigate.

Not to mention the reputation and status of the Yukino family in Chiba, if Haruno really puts her mind to investigating, she will definitely discover something different.

Seeing the worry in Yukino's eyes, Luo Bai hugged the girl tighter and said helplessly, "If Haruno-nee finds out, there's nothing we can do but tell her the truth. Erasing memories is possible, but I don't think you, Yukino, would make such a decision for your own sister, would you?"

Yukino nodded: "Well, we'll see if my sister will investigate."

Just then, the doorbell rang. Yukino stopped thinking about these things, got out of Luo Bai's arms, and went to open the door.

Meanwhile, in Tokyo on the other side.

At Natsuki Minami's private office in Tokyo, Kasumigaoka Utaha completed the formalities to become an assistant, officially stepping into a special field located in the dark side of the world.

Looking at the Gothic Lolita sitting in a chair drinking black tea, Kasumigaoka Utaha asked, "So, what do I, as an assistant, need to do?"

"Just like I said, help me with some paperwork and communications." Setting down her teacup, Nangong Nayue looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha and said, "I have a lot of things to do, so I won't be here every day. I need someone I can trust to handle many things for me. I was already considering candidates, and then I happened to meet you."

"Miss Nangong, you must have quite a few people under your command, so why did you choose me?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha voiced her doubts.

Mentioning her subordinates, Nangong Nayue rubbed her temples in annoyance and said, "Our positions as guardians haven't been established for very long. We're already short-handed with people possessing special abilities, and our strength isn't particularly high. Most of us also lack experience and ability in clerical work. It's better for them to run errands than to handle these matters for me."

Go on fieldwork. You understand what I mean, right?

Kasumigaoka Utaha nodded.

Indeed, an administrative assistant doesn't require any special abilities. For subordinates with special skills, even if they could do the job, it would be a waste of their talents.

"Okay, I understand. I'll come here every afternoon after school from now on, right?"

“That’s right, just come over after school,” Nangong Nayue said. “The workload isn’t heavy, and it won’t take much time to handle. During the rest of the time, you can work on your novel here, or read the books here to learn about some past cases and broaden your knowledge.”

Kasumigaoka Utaha indicated that she understood, then blushed slightly and looked at Minamiya Nazuki, asking, "Um, that person today..."

"Are you talking about Luo Bai?" Nangong Nayue knew what the other person was thinking with just one glance.

"What, are you falling for someone?"

With her thoughts exposed, Kasumigaoka Utaha's face flushed even more, but she didn't refute them.

"I want to know some information about the other party, after all, they are my savior."

Nangong Nayue smiled slightly as she looked at the other person and said, "Alright, I'll tell you then. You already know his name, Luo Bai, a Chinese, 17 years old, the same age as you. He currently lives in Chiba and is a second-year student at Chiba Municipal Soubu High School, where he's currently ranked first in his grade. As you saw this afternoon, he's a superpowered individual, and at the very top level. If he goes all out, he'll be terrifying. However, that kid doesn't seem to have a sufficient understanding of his abilities, so he can't unleash his full power yet. As far as I know, he has abilities in fire, ice, gas manipulation, and flight."

Watching Kasumigaoka Utaha constantly jotting down information in her little notebook, Nanamiya Nayuki shook her head helplessly.

As for the fact that Luo Bai has a fiancée, she chose not to reveal it.

If Kasumigaoka Utaha can really bring the other person to Tokyo, that would be a good thing, so Nagatsuki Minamiya chose to watch from the sidelines for now.

Volume 1: Chapter 112 Someone Confesses to Their Love (1/2)

Monday morning.

Reminded by the alarm clock, Luo Bai and Xue Nai got up on time.

Yawning, Luo Bai got dressed and was the first to leave the bedroom to go for a run.
