My fiancée Yukino

After paying the bill, seeing the large and small bags in the hands of the three people, Luo Bai thought for a moment and said, "Give me your things, I'll fly back directly. But, this can't go on forever. When I get back, I'll ask Zhen Tu Huojin if he has any of those large-capacity storage devices, and get me a couple."

He believed that Zhen Tu Huojin definitely had this thing. Nangong Nayue had previously come over to help prepare some storage boxes to store large quantities of roasted whole pig meat, which also had a preservation function.

Mai was also very much looking forward to it after hearing this.

"If it really exists, it would be very useful!"

“Yes, I’ll call him when I get back.” With that, Luo Bai took all the shopping bags from the two women, then opened the amulet he always carried that could impair cognition, activated his superpowers, and flew into the sky.

Mai checked the time and said to Yukino beside her, "Let's go, let's buy some more fruit on the way back, the fruit in the supermarket is still a bit more expensive than outside."

Yukino nodded: "Okay, let's go buy a watermelon."

Half an hour later, when Yukino and Mai returned with watermelons, Luo Bai had already returned early and put all the things he bought into the refrigerator in categories.

"Oh, you bought a watermelon too?"

Seeing the two large watermelons in the bag that Yukino brought in, Luo Bai took them and tapped them gently.

"Looks good."

Yukino smiled and said, "Let's cut it up and put it in the refrigerator first. We can eat it this afternoon. It can also be served chilled when Utaha comes over."

"Okay, I'll cut it. You guys relax in the air conditioning." Looking at the two of them, Luo Bai said with a smile, "I called Zhen Tu Huojin. He does have the stuff, and we don't need to pay for it. I just need to help them when they need it. It's basically free. The stuff will be delivered this afternoon. He's prepared one for each of us, even Shi Yu."

As for personal relationships and such, that doesn't matter.

Luo Bai and Zhen Tu Huojin had known each other for quite some time, and Luo Bai knew that this middle-aged man was actually quite easy to talk to.

As for helping, Luo Bai wouldn't ignore it even if he didn't mention it, since he would still be living in Chiba for the next year or so.

Yukino asked curiously, "Are there any restrictions on how to use it?"

"I didn't ask, but I don't think so. If he did, he would definitely tell me. Let's look forward to it; it will be delivered this afternoon."

After saying that, Luo Bai carried the watermelon into the kitchen.

After cutting both watermelons in half, Luo Bai put one of the halved watermelons into the refrigerator, and took out the flesh of the other watermelon, cut it into pieces, and put them into plates.

After thinking for a moment, he used his superpower to quickly cool the watermelon, which immediately emitted a cool breeze.

Luo Bai gave one portion to Yukino and Mai, and then took the other portion to Shinobu Kocho's house upstairs.

When Shinobu heard the doorbell, she came to open the door and saw Luo Bai standing at the door with a plate of sliced ​​watermelon.

"You also bought watermelons?"

"Yes, it's freshly cut, I brought it up for you." As she spoke, Luo Bai walked in and changed into slippers, then saw Kanao and the others diligently reading books and doing their homework in the living room.

"So serious?"

Shinobu Kocho stood to the side, smiling, and said, "Study when it's time to study, and relax when it's time to relax. That's always been how I teach them. Alright, it's been almost an hour. Let's take a break and have some watermelon."

Seeing Luo Bai bring over fruit, the kids quickly tidied up their textbooks and made room for the coffee table.

After a large plate of sliced ​​watermelon was placed on the table, everyone happily started eating it with toothpicks.

After eating a slice of chilled watermelon, Shinobu Kocho looked at Luo Bai and asked, "Was this freshly cut? Did you use your superpower to chill it?"

"Of course, otherwise it wouldn't be so fast."

Luo Bai smiled and said, "My abilities aren't just for fighting. My fire abilities also allow me to be immune to the cold in winter, which is very convenient. Also, I can use ice breathing to achieve the same effect, but I don't know if you guys can learn it."

Kanzaki Aoi ate a slice of watermelon and explained, "Everyone uses a breathing technique that is most suitable for them and developed based on their own strengths. However, as long as it's not the Sun Breathing, you can learn other breathing techniques if you want, it's just that the effects won't be very good."

With a snap of his fingers, Kanzaki Hikaru said with a smile, "If you're interested, you can all go to the dojo sometime later, and I'll give you a lesson. It's quite useful."

After chatting and eating watermelon with everyone for a while, Luo Bai went back without disturbing the girls' study time, and made an appointment with them to come over for lunch.

Shinobu Kocho came back with Luo Bai. The other kids at home don't need his supervision when they study; they're quite self-disciplined.

Volume 1: Chapter 227 One for Everyone (2/2)

In the afternoon, during the lunch break, Kanao and the others brought their two kittens, and the four cats immediately started playing together.

At 1:30, the person sent by Makoto to deliver the goods arrived.

Luo Bai received a black briefcase from the other person, listened to their instructions on how to use the prop, thanked them, and watched them leave.

Luo Bai brought the box into the house and opened it under everyone's watchful eyes, revealing a row of props inside.

These are all identical bracelets, made of silver-white metal, and look no different from ordinary bangles.

Luo Bai picked one up and put it on his wrist. The bracelet immediately shrank to fit his wrist size, reaching a size that wouldn't tip over.

"Yes, it's a special memory metal that adapts to the size of the wrist; it's really good."

Then, Luo Bai pressed his finger on the indentation on the bracelet to register his biometric fingerprint, and at the same time, he also sensed the space inside the bracelet.

"Three square meters is enough. Any bigger and the cost would increase exponentially." After experiencing it for a while, Luo Bai looked at everyone and said, "Come on, one for each of you, try it out. It'll be perfect for carrying your Nichirin Blades around like this from now on, instead of having to hang them on your waist and attract attention all the time. By the way, you can also customize the color of the bracelet, but it's a pity the appearance can't be customized."

Shinobu Kocho curiously picked up a bracelet and put it on her wrist, saying with a look of novelty, "It looks a bit like something out of those magical movies. At first, I thought it was a suitcase, but it turns out it's inside!"

Mai picked one up and said with a smile, "The Seamless Stretch Spell, right? But Mr. Mado does know magic, so I guess it uses a similar technique, only the medium has been changed to this small bracelet."

Everyone put on a bracelet, and suddenly there were only two left in the suitcase, which were just enough for Yang Nai and Shi Yu who hadn't arrived yet.

As for people like Kanroji Mitsuri, Shindo Mokuzu will also send them over separately. There's no need to worry about anyone not having one. Storage bracelets of this size aren't particularly valuable to the Guardians; it's just that manufacturing them takes some time.

Those props with storage space of hundreds of square meters are truly precious, not to mention the even rarer ones that can store living things.

After trying it on their wrists, everyone learned how to use this little gadget; it was very easy for everyone.

From now on, when I go out, I can put heavier items directly inside without having to carry them around.

After changing her bracelet to a light pink one, Mai looked at Luo Bai and asked, "When is Shi Yu coming? It's just her and Yang Nai left."

Luo Bai said, "She should be talking to her partner about the comic right now. I told her that I would have a driver pick her up at three o'clock. She should be here before four o'clock."

Mai nodded, then took out her phone and took a picture of the bracelet, saying happily, "Then I'll take a picture and show it to her first."

At this moment, Shiha was indeed talking to Eriri about the manga, and they weren't outside, but at Eriri's house.

In the bedroom, the two were discussing the two episodes of story that Eriri had worked on over the past two days.

Pointing to a panel, Shiyu said, "I've been studying the manga these past few days, and I feel that this part needs some adjustments. The protagonist's pain at seeing his family die tragically isn't quite there yet."

Hearing Shiyu's words, Eriri frowned and said, "Ugh, I know, but this is my first time drawing this kind of scene, and I'm not quite getting the hang of it yet. But I understand now, and I'll write it down and draw it again."

As she spoke, Eriri took out the contents of the document, marked it, and put it aside.

Just then, Shiyu's phone rang.

She picked it up and saw that it was sent by Mai.

Clicking on it reveals Mai's wrist and a light pink bracelet on it.

"I've saved this for you. I'll tell you about the specific functions once it's available!"

Mai's words piqued Shiyu's interest in the bracelet's functions.

If Mai can send you photos like this, then it must be no ordinary bracelet.

Seeing Shiwa's expression, Eriri also came over.

"What, your boyfriend messaged you?"

Shiyu shook her head: "No."

Then he didn't stop Eriri from looking over.

Looking at the photo on her phone and the name of the person who sent the message, Eriri tilted her head: "Mai? Is this your friend? Hmm... this name sounds familiar."

"She's quite famous, at least more famous than Kashiwagi Eri. You should know Sakurajima Mai, right?"

Eriri blinked, then realized what she meant, and exclaimed with wide eyes, "Huh? Sakurajima Mai? The one who just made her comeback, who's incredibly popular but only did a few commercials and has been focusing on her studies ever since? You actually know her?"

Shi Yu smiled and said, "That's right, it's her. We're best friends."

Eriri looked at Shiho in surprise, and then remembered that Mai Sakurajima had apparently promoted Shiho's novel online.

I originally thought it was an invitation from the publishing house, but it turns out she knew the person herself!

How did you two meet?

"That's how we met," Shiyu said with a smile, offering no explanation. "She seems to be filming a TV series in Tokyo this summer. I'll introduce you to her then. Want to come?"

Eriri seemed quite interested and nodded, "Okay!"

Then, the two continued their discussion about comics.

Around three o'clock, the business was finished, and it was time for Shiyu to leave.

Pulling on her suitcase, Shiho left the villa accompanied by Eriri.

At the front gate, a car was parked. When Shiyu came out, the female driver, who had been sitting in the car, immediately got out and respectfully opened the car door.

Looking at Eriri beside her, Utaha said, "Then I'll be going. Contact me anytime if there's anything about the manga."

Eriri also knew that Utaha was going to Chiba to participate in a volunteer activity these days, and guessed that she was with her boyfriend, otherwise she would never participate in such an activity.

"Okay, then let's contact each other by phone."

After Shiyu left by car, Eriri looked up at the bright sunshine and hurried back to the villa.

"I wouldn't go to these kinds of events, they're too grueling. I'd rather stay home and play games or draw comics."

Volume 1: Chapter 228 Shiyu Arrives (1/2)

Riding in Luo Bai's car, Shi Yu arrived in Chiba.

After stopping in front of the apartment building, Shi Yu got out of the car and saw Luo Bai standing there. She immediately rushed over happily and hugged Luo Bai tightly.

"Luo Jun!"

Holding Shi Yu in his arms, Luo Bai nodded to the driver who had gotten out of the car and brought down the luggage, and then said, "Alright, it's awfully hot outside, let's go upstairs and talk."

"Uh-huh!"

After taking her luggage from the driver and thanking her, Shi Yu followed Luo Bai into the apartment building.

After taking the elevator up to the apartment, Shiwa met Yukino, Mai, and Shinobu Kocho and hugged them one by one.

After putting Shi Yu's luggage in the guest room, Luo Bai returned to the living room and sat down. Looking at Shi Yu, he asked, "How did the discussion about the comic go today? When do you plan to take it to..."

"Could the publisher's editors take a look? Also, are you planning to publish with Shinazugawa Publishing, or with Jump?"

"We'll probably try Jump first," Shiyu said with a smile. "Eri has submitted to Jump before, so her drawing skills aren't a problem. The main issue is the story. Now that I'm in charge, and with this true story, it's sure to be very exciting and dramatic, so there shouldn't be any problems! As for submitting, we'll consider going there at the end of July. Editor Sonoko will help us make the arrangements then, so we won't have to go through the regular submission channels, which will be much more convenient."

Mai said happily, "Jump? That's really amazing. You should be able to succeed, right? Your junior is really good at drawing?"

"Emm~~~"

Shiha was a little conflicted, wondering whether or not to reveal Eriri's identity.

After thinking for a moment, she looked at everyone and said, "Um, I hope you can keep this a secret. If you see her later, don't tell anyone, okay?"

"?"

Everyone was puzzled, wondering why Shi Yu would say that, except for Luo Bai, who had a faint smile on his face and knew everything.

After everyone agreed, Shiyu took out her phone, searched for the name "Kashiwagi Eri", and then handed the phone to everyone.

"Take a look for yourselves. After you see it, you'll understand why I asked you to agree."

Yukino took Utaha's phone and then watched it with everyone.

"Eri Kashiwagi, a doujinshi artist, is known for her delicate art style and provocative visuals; her works sell out incredibly quickly at annual doujinshi conventions. Her works cover a wide range of themes, and she is particularly skilled in bondage illustrations..."

Yukino couldn't continue reading after this point, not to mention that several cover images of Eri Kashiwagi's works were attached below.

Even just the cover image is something that wouldn't normally pass censorship; it's just too sensational.

Even though Yukino and the others have already gone through it all, and Shinobu Kocho, as a doctor, is very knowledgeable about the human body, she still couldn't help but blush after seeing these drawings.

Yukino closed the browser on Shiyu's phone and handed it back to her, saying in shock, "I really didn't expect that. Isn't the junior you mentioned the daughter of a diplomat? And I've heard my family mention the Sawamura family in Tokyo. I never imagined she would have such a hobby. Don't her parents care?"

In response, Shi Yu simply shrugged and said, "You're oversimplifying things. What if her parents have similar hobbies?"

"...I see, that makes sense."

Mai was also very surprised: "A young lady like her, secretly drawing doujinshi, and she's so beautiful. What would happen if her real identity were exposed? And she's not even an adult yet, is it okay for her to draw this?"
