My fiancée Yukino

"what!"

"Hmph!" With a smug snort, Sanae Dekomori tossed her ponytail and said, "You think you can bully Master? Do you think I, the Thor's Hammer user, don't exist? Death!"

Just then, Luo Bai came in with a kettle and saw Togashi Yuta facing off against Dekomori Sanae's twin-tail attack, and he began to defend against it.

The others, however, showed no intention of stopping it; on the contrary, they watched with great amusement.

Luo Bai plugged in the kettle and started boiling water. He sat down next to Yukino and whispered, "These juniors are quite interesting, aren't they?"

Yukino nodded slightly: "Yes, although I don't quite understand chuunibyou, they seem to be enjoying themselves, and they don't seem to be bothering anyone else."

As long as it doesn't affect others, Yukino won't interfere too much in these kinds of things.

After playing around for a while, Yuta Togashi finally managed to twist Sanae Dekomori's two ponytails together and breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he realized what was happening and looked at Rikka, saying, "If it's difficult, don't we have something now? The cat you brought to my house!"

"Ah! Chimera!"

Rikka Takanashi also remembered that this was a problem that hadn't been solved yet!

"cat?"

Yukino became interested and looked at the two of them, saying, "You picked up a cat?"

Yuta Togashi nodded, pointed at Rikka, and said, "It's Rikka. She brought home a cat last night, but because Rikka's older sister is allergic to cats, she can't keep it at home, so she's temporarily staying with me. That's why I've been thinking all day about what to do with the cat."

Mai Sakurajima said, "Since he's staying at your house, why don't you take care of him, Togashi-kun? Besides, judging from what you're saying, your two families live very close to each other?"

"Rokka's house is upstairs from mine."

"That's good then," Luo Bai said with a smile. "Since you two live so close by, if it's okay to keep it at your house, then keep it. That way, Kotori can come and visit anytime."

"Um... it's possible, but I haven't discussed it with my mom and sister yet."

Yuta Togashi scratched his cheek and said, "Although my family doesn't dislike me and understands me, and my mother would most likely agree to adopt me, none of us have ever had a pet before, so we have no experience."

At this moment, Yukino said, "That's very simple. We have cats at home. If you decide to adopt that cat, I can give you some tips on raising cats. If you follow those tips, you shouldn't have any problems. By the way, regarding the stray cat, the one we picked up yesterday, haven't you taken it to the vet for a check-up yet? We need to check if it has any diseases or anything, and we need to find out about its health condition."

"No, because it's Monday today, and I haven't had time to think about these things yet."

Yukino immediately decided, "In that case, let's set off. Shall we go see that cat first?"

Yuta Togashi was quite surprised to see Yukino make such a decisive decision.

Luo Bai smiled and explained, "Yukino is a serious cat lover. She has never been able to resist cats. Sorry."

Yuta Togashi suddenly realized, "I see. It would be so great if you could help me, seniors. I really didn't know what to do!"

After deciding to deal with the cat's matter first, everyone decided against having tea and headed straight to Yuta Togashi's house.

After leaving the Service Department, Luo Bai took out his phone and called Hachiman Hikigaya, who hadn't arrived yet.

"Hey, what's wrong?"

After the call connected, Luo Bai said, "Something came up here and we have to leave first. Are you all done yet?"

"Huh? Something came up?" Hachiman Hikigaya asked, looking at the mop in his hand. "What is it?"

Then Luo Bai gave a brief explanation.

Hachiman Hikigaya nodded: "Ah, about the cat."

Looking at Yui Yuigahama who had just returned from taking out the trash, Hachiman Hikigaya said, "Yui is a little afraid of cats, so we won't go over this time. The classroom floor hasn't been mopped yet."

It seems that there is such a thing.

"Okay, I understand. We'll be going now."

After hanging up the phone, Luo Bai looked at Yukino and said, "They're not ready yet, and you know, Yuihama is afraid of cats, so they're not going."

Yukino nodded without saying anything; at that moment, her heart was filled with nothing but anticipation for the cat.

Besides Luo Bai, Yukino, and Sakurajima Mai, Dekomori Sanae is also going, but May 7th Huixiang did not choose to go with them, as the senior was already a little sleepy.

So, the six of them took a bus together to the apartment building where Yuta Togashi and Rikka Takanashi lived.

When they arrived at the Togashi house, Togashi Yuta's sister and mother had not yet returned. However, as soon as they opened the door, they heard the meowing of a cat.

Then a cat with white and gray fur, wearing wings decorated by Rikka Takanashi, came out from behind the sofa.

Volume 1: Chapter 117 The Decision to Adopt (2/2)

Although it was a stray cat that was rescued, this cat looks like it ate well, obviously it was fed by kind people outside before, and it's growing very well.

"Chimera!"

Rikka called out the name she had given the cat and happily ran over to pet its head.

The others changed into slippers and went into the living room, also looking at the cat with curiosity.

Yukino took out the cat treat she always carried with her from her bag, squatted down next to Rikka, opened it, and held it to the cat's mouth.

Upon smelling the aroma, the cat immediately turned its head and fearlessly began eating the cat treat from Yukino's hand.

While feeding the cat, Yukino reached out and stroked its head, observing it as she said, "It seems to be doing well. Let's go to the vet after it finishes eating. I checked on the way here; there's a pet hospital nearby, just a short walk away. Togashi-kun, did you feed the cat this morning?"

"some."

Yuta Togashi nodded and said, "I have some chicken at home, and I also went to the convenience store next door this morning to buy a small bag of cat food."

Then I glanced at the small bowl not far away. All the cat food in it had been eaten, and there was a pile of poop in the makeshift litter box.

Yukino naturally saw it too, and nodded, saying, "Yes, for daily care, this is enough. But cats have a habit of sharpening their claws, so if you're going to adopt one, it's best to set up a few scratching posts, otherwise they'll scratch up your sofa."

After feeding the cat half a cat, Yukino picked it up, and everyone set off for the vet.

After arriving at the nearby pet hospital, we registered and had a physical examination; the process was quite quick.

After a series of examinations, Chimera's health condition was very good; she wasn't sick or anything, except that her ear was a little dirty, so she would need some ear drops to treat it.

After paying for the medical examination, Yuta Togashi sighed as he looked at his dwindling wallet, then went over to Rikka, who was playing with her cat.

Patting Rikka on the head, Yuuta Togashi said, "Let's go, it's time to go back."

"Yuta."

Looking up at Yuta Togashi, Rikka asked, "Can I adopt a chimera?"

"..."

Yuta Togashi and Rikka exchanged a glance, then Yuta scratched his head and said, "I also quite like chimeras. I'll talk to my mom about it when we get home tonight, it should be fine."

"Great!!!"

Rikka jumped up excitedly upon hearing this.

Seeing that Yuta Togashi had made up his mind, Yukino, who had bought two bags of cat food for him, smiled.

After walking over, he handed the cat food to Yuta Togashi and said, "Here you go. The checkup cost a lot, so I'll pay for the cat food for the next few days."

Looking at the two bags of cat food, Yuta Togashi exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, that's too much, senpai!"

“It’s alright,” Yukino said with a smile. “It’s commendable that you’re willing to adopt stray animals. Consider this cat food as my support for you. As long as you take good care of them and fulfill your responsibilities, that’s fine.”

Luo Bai also came over: "Take it, it's nothing for our family, just two bags of cat food."

Yuta Togashi accepted it and nodded earnestly: "Please don't worry, senior, I will take good care of you!"

After putting away the ear drops that Chimera would need, Rikka held the cat, and they all left the vet hospital together.

After they came out, Luo Bai and the others should head back.

After saying goodbye to Yuta Togashi, Rikka Takanashi, and Sanae Dekomori, the three of them headed towards the station.

Holding Luo Bai's hand, Yukino said, "Although it's chuunibyou, Rikka's character is really good. She actually chose to bring the stray cat back."

"It must really like it," Luo Bai said with a smile. "This cat is indeed not afraid of people, and it looks like the kind that's easy to care for. Plus, with Togashi Yuuta around, as long as his family agrees, this cat's life will definitely be very good from now on. By the way, Yukino, should we still compile the precautions for raising a cat?"

"Yes, they are all beginners, so it's better to record things and share them with them."

Yukino is always so serious when it comes to cats.

Mai Sakurajima smiled and said, "So, can we consider today's events as the Service Club completing a request?"

After thinking for a moment, Luo Bai said, "I guess so, what do you think, Yukino?"

"Hmm... I guess so."

After a moment of thought, Yukino said, "If we don't help, it will probably take them a few more days to make up their minds. Also, Rikka's older sister is allergic to cats. If they hesitate and Rikka ends up taking the cat back to her own place, it could very well upset her sister."

That would count as a commission.

After returning to the apartment by car, Luo Bai started making dinner, while Xue Nai took out her laptop and began writing down precautions for raising cats, while also searching online for information to fill in any gaps in her knowledge.

After watching for a while, Mai Sakurajima realized she couldn't be of much help with raising cats, so she said, "Yukino, I'm going to help in the kitchen. You can continue writing."

Yukino nodded: "Yes, thank you for your help, senpai."

Mai Sakurajima smiled and said, "It's okay, I was going to learn to cook anyway."

After saying that, she went to the kitchen in a cheerful mood.

After typing a line of text, Yukino glanced at the kitchen and then focused her attention back on the screen.

In the kitchen, Mai Sakurajima came in, put on an apron, and then came to Luo Bai's side.

"Let me help. I'm already quite good at chopping vegetables!"

Luo Bai didn't refuse. She pointed to the cabbage and potatoes placed to the side and said, "Then, could you please wash the vegetables and chop them?"

Mai Sakurajima readily agreed, and after washing the cabbage and potatoes, she began to chop the cabbage with practiced ease.

While chopping vegetables, she said with a smile, "After my manager heard that I've started learning to cook, he suggested that I could participate in some cooking-related variety shows. What do you think, Luo Bai-jun?"

Luo Bai asked curiously, "What exactly is a cooking show like? It's not like the guests have to go on stage and cook, is it?"

After chopping up the last bit of cabbage and putting it on a plate, Mai Sakurajima said, "I think there's supposed to be a segment like that, but the show is still in the planning stages. My manager found out about it from a friend. It'll probably be another month or two before filming starts, with the dice being thrown."

"I think if you want to participate, you can give it a try, but you need to practice your cooking skills before that."

Mai Sakurajima smiled and nodded: "That's what I was thinking too. How about I try to cook dinner tonight? You can teach me, Luo Bai!"

Volume 1: Chapter 118 New Machine? Not so fast (1/2)

Following Luo Bai's instructions, Mai Sakurajima began making beef stew with potatoes.

While blanching the beef, Mai Sakurajima said, "Junior, do you have Nanami Nayuki's contact information? I want to thank her for what happened back then and treat her to a meal."

Luo Bai nodded: "I don't have any here. I'll contact Zhen Tu Huojin after dinner. He definitely has some."

"Okay." Mai Sakurajima smiled happily, "Then I'll trouble you."

Mai Sakurajima didn't know who had helped her before, but now that she did, she definitely wanted to express her gratitude.

After dinner, Yukino continued writing the final part of the precautions for raising cats, while Luo Bai contacted Madoka Kakuzu.

"Oh? Miss Nangong's contact information?"

Knowing the purpose of Luo Bai's call, Makoto Mokuzu said with a smile, "Of course, I have her contact information, I'll send it to your phone later. But I didn't expect that Luo Bai-kun, your trip to Tokyo would also take care of a powerful ghoul. The researchers have been testing that ghoul's strength these past two days, and it's quite formidable."

Luo Bai said nonchalantly, "She probably underestimated my strength. Besides, she may be strong in combat, but her defense is not that great. I cut those scales in one move."

"The uses of superpowers are really wide-ranging."

After a sigh, Masato Mokuzu said, "In any case, with this ghoul, the subsequent research has proceeded much more smoothly."

Once the research is successfully completed, we guardians might personally travel to the world where the ghouls live to erase their genes. Luo Bai, would you like to come along?

Luo Bai refused without hesitation: "Forget it, I have no interest in that kind of world."

The world of ghouls isn't so wonderful; Luo Bai would rather stay on his side than risk being in a bad situation.

If we go there, we'll almost certainly encounter a battle.

If it weren't for protecting the people around him, Luo Bai would have absolutely no interest in fighting.

Luo Bai's answer seemed to be within Zhen Tu Huojin's expectations. He smiled and said, "Alright, then I won't call you. I think so too. It's not some particularly wonderful world, so there's really no need to go. That's settled then. I'll send you my contact information later. Let's have tea together sometime, Luo Bai-kun."

"Okay, let's have tea sometime."

After hanging up the phone, a text message arrived less than half a minute later, containing Nangong Nayue's contact information.

Luo Bai forwarded it directly to Mai Sakurajima.
