My fiancée Yukino

Shinobu Kocho also received a large reward and was very happy.

That way, we won't have to worry about the younger sisters' schooling and other expenses for the next few years!

Volume 1: Chapter 266 Mai's Days Working on the Film Set (2/2)

The incident in Shinjuku was well covered up, so the public thought it was just a normal natural gas leak. In addition, the people were rescued in time, and surprisingly, there were no deaths. The situation quickly calmed down.

Three days later, the verdicts for Lucifer and Auerba were announced.

Abolishing one's special abilities, regarding special prisons, life imprisonment.

Their neighbors in prison included the Slit-Mouthed Woman and Sadako, making them quite unique characters.

Moreover, it's a mixed-gender prison, which will definitely make them happy and satisfied.

Upon receiving this news, Luo Bai and Xue Nai couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Yang Nai, who was off work today, sat on the sofa and patted her belly, saying, "This is really interesting. One side is Sadako, and the other is Slit-Mouthed Woman, right? I hope they won't be scared awake in the middle of the night!"

"Probably not for the time being."

Luo Bai said with a smile, "The walls of that special prison are designed to block ghosts and other beings that can pass through walls, so you won't be scared. However, you'll definitely be harassed all the time."

Luo Bai never expected that Nangong Nayue would make such an arrangement.

I reckon Lucifer and Auerba don't know any of this yet, and they'll be completely dumbfounded when they get there.

After reading the message, Luo Bai also called Nangong Nayue.

"The verdicts for those two are out. What about the other two, Sadao and the other two? Did they have a smooth onboarding process?"

Nangong Nayue said, "Maoku Sadao and Ashiya Shiro, Maoku Sadao hasn't given up his original convenience store job and still goes to work every day. As for Ashiya Shiro, he joined the company with Yusa Emi, and I've assigned them to different action teams. I've also arranged accommodations for them. Considering that their relationship is gradually deteriorating, I've assigned them to apartments in different locations."

"So, are you going to interfere with things concerning their original world?"

"I won't interfere, but I'll go back with Yusa Emi to meet her friends, and if possible, bring them back with me."

This is because they found an opportunity and kept taking advantage of someone.

As a hero and a half-angel, Yusa Emi does seem to have several companions who are quite strong. If she were recruited, she could significantly increase the strength of the Tokyo branch.

After exchanging a few words, Luo Bai ended the call.

Looking at the time, Luo Bai said to Yukino and the others, "It's almost time. I'm going out to buy groceries. Shiyu should be here soon."

Shiyu said she would be coming to Chiba in the next couple of days, and today I finally have the time.

Moreover, they didn't travel by car, but used the Guardians' teleportation device.

It will take a little time to locate, but it should be soon.

After changing his clothes, Luo Bai was about to go grocery shopping with Yang Nai when he opened the door and saw a teleportation array lit up at the entrance.

Shi Yu emerged from the teleportation array, happily looking at Luo Bai who had just appeared at the door, and hugged him tightly.

"Luo Jun, I'm here!"

Luo Bai smiled and hugged Shi Yu: "It seems I opened the door at just the right time. But I'm going out to buy groceries with Yang Nai now, so you can rest at home for now."

"Going grocery shopping? I'll go too?"

"Are you going too?"

Shiyu nodded repeatedly: "I came directly from the base by car, so I'm not tired at all. Let me come along!"

Hearing the noise at the door, Yukino and Mai came over.

Yukino looked at Utaha and said, "Utaha, are you going too? Then let's all go together."

And just like that, what was originally just two people going out suddenly turned into five people going to the supermarket together.

Fortunately, Yang Nai's car wasn't small, and three people could still fit in the back.

As for Shinobu Kocho, she's not here today. She has to go to the base this morning to handle some things. A batch of new treatment drugs has arrived, and she's going to check them out. She also brought her younger sister with her.

Driving, the group quickly arrived at the supermarket. Under the amazed gazes of many customers, they pushed several shopping carts and began their shopping.

Luo Bai and Shi Yu walked together, pushing a cart.

"Shiyu, how many days are you planning to stay after coming here today?"

"Two days~~" Shiyu said happily, "I'm going back tomorrow afternoon! Luo Jun, you told me a few days ago that you'd make up for it with a candlelight dinner?"

"Okay, tonight then."

Luo Bai readily agreed and immediately took out his phone to make a reservation.

Luo Bai was very familiar with the high-end hotels in Chiba. After a brief discussion with Shi Yu, they booked a restaurant and went there in the evening.

Shi Yu happily hugged Luo Bai's arm and put a bag of potato chips into the shopping cart.

It took half an hour for everyone to split up and quickly find all the items on the shopping list. Then they paid the bill and headed home to start making lunch.

They ate lunch at home, and in the evening, Luo Bai took Shi Yu out for a candlelight dinner.

In the following days, thankfully, no more of those thrilling events occurred.

Then, it came to the end of July.

Early in the morning, Luo Bai got up before six o'clock, without waking Yukino who was still fast asleep, and quietly left the bedroom alone.

After I finished washing up and came out of the bathroom, Mai arrived at almost the same time.

Today is the day Mai is going to the film set, and Luo Bai is also going with her, along with Shi Yu and Yang Nai.

As for Yukino,

I wanted to go, but I got my period, so I had to stay home and rest. I'll look at some photos of the crew that Mai took later.

Good morning, Mai.

Luo Bai hugged Mai and kissed her, then looked at the lightly made-up girl and asked, "What time did you get up?"

"Five o'clock," Mai said, sticking out her tongue. "Luckily I went to bed early last night, otherwise I definitely wouldn't have been able to get up."

Smoothing Mai's hair, Luo Bai said, "Go sit down. Breakfast will be ready soon. What would you like to drink, milk or coffee?"

"Coffee bar, thank you for your hard work, Luo Jun!"

Mai happily tiptoed and kissed Luo Bai again before going to the living room to wait for dinner.

Fifteen minutes later, the door to the guest room opened, and Yang Nai came out yawning.

"Ugh... It's so early, Mai... I'm so sleepy..."

Mai, who was drinking coffee, said with a smile, "Good morning, Haruno-nee. Breakfast will be served soon, so hurry up and wash up. My manager will be here soon."

"I know, I know."

Yang Nai waved her hand, turned around and went into the bathroom to start washing up.

After breakfast, Shiyu went directly to the base early to teleport over. Everyone rode in Mai's agency car and headed to the film set.

Volume 1: Chapter 267 Hoshino Ai's Early Arrival (1/2)

Mai's filming is currently planned to take place over three days, with two days of filming in Chiba and the third day in Tokyo.

Ai Hoshino, who also has a role, will arrive at the Tokyo film set on the third day.

Soon, the car arrived at Zongwu High School.

That's right, it's Soubu High School. Mai's character this time is a high school student, and part of her scenes take place at the school.

It's summer vacation now, so finding schools to collaborate on filming shouldn't be too difficult.

As for extras, it's even simpler. Just use what's available. Ask the school to invite some teachers and students who have free time, and they can just come and act naturally.

Being able to act in movies, earn a salary, and see celebrity actors—any student with free time would almost certainly not miss out on such a good opportunity.

Therefore, the recruitment of extras was completed well in the past few days.

When Luo Bai and the others arrived at the school, the filming set was almost complete. The teachers and some students had already arrived and were learning about their upcoming filming tasks under the guidance of the assistant director.

Upon seeing Mai arrive, the set assistant hurried over to greet her, and then took Mai and her manager to meet the director, as well as the other main actors she would be working with.

Luo Bai, Yang Nai, and Shi Yu went to the rest area to wait.

Yang Nai had visited several TV drama and movie filming sets in the past, so she wasn't particularly curious about these things, but Shi Yu looked around with great interest.

Luo Bai asked with a smile, "What, would you like to try acting in TV dramas someday?"

"No, not at all," Shi Yu shook her head and said. "I was wondering if there's any chance my novel will be adapted into a TV series in the future?"

Yang Nai pondered for a moment and said, "Well, there should be a chance. Shi Yu, the novel you're writing now is a romance novel. As long as the sales go up and the content is fine, I think the publisher will consider it."

Luo Bai also said, "That's right, have you forgotten who your boss is? Now, finish writing the book first. Later, when the novel's sales increase, you can go to Nangong Nayue and ask if there's a chance to adapt it into a TV series."

"Yes, that's true!"

Thinking about Nangong Nayue's personality, Shiyu was also confident that as long as her writing was good enough, Nangong Nayue would definitely help her!

Clenching her little fist, Shiyu said confidently, "After I get back, I'll continue writing! By the way, Luo-jun, I'm going to submit my work to Jump with Eriri in a few days. Do you want to come with me?"

"Going to Jump? Sure, but isn't your editor going?"

“Sister Yuanzi isn’t going. She has two authors who are behind on their manuscripts. She’s been busy with these things these past few days. She just helped me contact her friend at Jump and then told us to go by ourselves.”

"Okay, then I'll go with you."

Just then, Mai came over.

"What are you talking about?"

Luo Bai said with a smile, "Shi Yu is wondering when her novel can be adapted into a TV series."

"Sigh~~ This should definitely work, right? With Shiyu's abilities, I really like the Love Metronome!"

Shiyu happily smiled back: "Yes, I'll do my best!"

"How did the conversation go?"

Mai nodded: "We've had a pretty good chat. I've already memorized my lines and thought about how to act the role. After talking with the director, he also thinks my approach is fine. We'll adjust the details after filming starts and see how it goes."

As she spoke, Mai's face was full of confidence, showing no signs of rustiness despite not having filmed for a while.

Just then, Luo Bai suddenly sensed an aura appearing behind them, but there was no threat.

Turning around, I saw a petite woman with black hair, wearing a hat, sunglasses, and a mask, sneaking closer.

"Huh? Xiao Ai?"

Upon hearing Luo Bai's words, Mai and the others turned around and immediately recognized Hoshino Ai, who was disguised, as she appeared there.

Mai said in surprise, "Ai, what brings you here?"

Shrinking awkwardly, Hoshino Ai walked over, removed her disguise, stuck out her tongue, and said, "I was trying to scare you guys, how did Brother Luo Bai spot me so easily?"

Luo Bai laughed and said, "Putting aside the footsteps, just the sudden presence behind me is easy for me to notice. Do you think I'm an ordinary person?"

Hoshino Ai raised her hand and tapped her head, suddenly realizing, "That's right, I forgot about that. Good morning everyone, hehe, I haven't had any work these past few days, and since it's my first time filming, I came early to learn a bit. Ah, my manager is here too, I'll go meet the director first, and we'll talk later!"

With a wave of her hand, Hoshino Ai, along with her manager who had parked the car and come over, went to find the director.

Just after Hoshino Ai left, Hiratsuka Shizuka arrived with Yuigahama Yui, Hayama Hayato, and others.

"You guys arrived pretty early. And Luo Bai, aren't you going to be extras?"

Luo Bai shook his head and said, "No interest. We just came with Mai to take a look. Hiratsuka-sensei, why are you here too? Why don't you sleep a little longer?"

"I didn't want to come either." Hiratsuka Shizuka said helplessly, spreading her hands. "The student extras are mainly first- and second-year high school students, but we also need a few teachers to maintain order among the students, so the school called me here."

Yui Yuigahama glanced at Luo Bai and asked curiously, "Luo-kun, isn't Yukino here?"

"Yes, she wasn't feeling well, so I didn't let her come out and she stayed home to rest."

Yumiko Miura watched Hoshino Ai's retreating figure and said thoughtfully, "Was that Hoshino Ai?"

"What, Ai Hoshino? Really?"

Tobe Sho's eyes immediately lit up as he looked in the direction Miura Yumiko was pointing, but

I could only vaguely see a figure from behind.

Hiratsuka Shizuka confirmed, "That's right, it's Hoshino Ai. But is Hoshino Ai going to participate in the filming? I really didn't receive any news about that."
