My fiancée Yukino

Fortunately, knowing that the waiter would bring the food soon, Eruma refrained from letting her single horn on her head show.

Unfortunately, even after all the dishes were served, Elma, who had enjoyed her meal, couldn't resist, and the single horn on her forehead still appeared.

Fortunately, she restrained herself a bit, otherwise, if her tail had also been exposed, her pants would have been torn.

Even so, Luo's parents were still stunned.

Mrs. Luo whispered to Yukino beside her, "Yukino, does this child really like to eat this?"

Yukino smiled and nodded: "Erma really loves food. When she encounters something delicious, she forgets all her troubles."

"What an adorable child! You'd never guess he's a dragon."

Mrs. Luo sighed, thinking that it was perfect. The Chinese food here was just so-so. She would let her show off her skills tonight and let Elma see what authentic Chinese food was like!

After a pleasant lunch, everyone took a car back to the apartment.

Just a few minutes after I got back, Elma's identification documents were also completed and sent over together.

Looking at her identification document in the file folder, Elma happily looked at Luo Bai: "Now can I go buy a phone?"

"Yes, that's definitely possible."

Luo Bai nodded and said, "But I have to go to the supermarket to buy groceries this afternoon, so I might not have enough time. How about this, Yang Nai, you go with Erma to buy a cell phone, okay?"

“Sure~~” Yang Nai agreed with a smile, “I was just thinking of getting a new phone, let’s go take a look together.”

Yang and Erma were getting ready to go out, but the others didn't plan to go with them because of the summer weather.

Luo's mother looked at Luo Bai and said, "You're going to buy groceries? I'll go with you."

"Mom, aren't you tired? Why don't you rest at home this afternoon? By the way, have you arranged your accommodation?"

“It’s all arranged,” Mrs. Luo said. “While you were on your trip, we bought another apartment in the building for you to stay in when you come over occasionally. It’s all set up, so you can just move in with your bags. Have your dad check it out. I’m not tired, so I’ll go with you to see what to cook for dinner.”

Seeing that his mother was so insistent, Luo Bai let her have her way.

If the mother and child go out together, they will have to take a car.

Fortunately, my mom had a driver's license here, and the car arranged by the company was already parked downstairs at the apartment building, so the two of them set off together in the car.

In the car, Luo's mother asked about Luo Bai's situation these days, including his life and his relationships with the girls.

After listening to Luo Bai's story, Luo's mother nodded in satisfaction: "Well, not bad. But with such a large family to support, you may need to take over the family business sooner rather than later. Let's start with the company in Japan, after you graduate from university."

Luo Bai had no problem with it; he had already planned to do so.

"Sure, let's start when we get to university."

More than a year

The time he had to relax was enough for Luo Bai.

Ten minutes later, the two arrived at the supermarket, and Luo Bai began to act as the professional cart pusher, while his mother personally selected the ingredients for dinner.

When they returned from grocery shopping, Yang Nai and Erma arrived shortly after each other.

Buying a phone is a quick process.

Elma happily showed everyone her new Apple product.

"How's it? My new phone!"

As for the cost of the phone, Luo Bai didn't care. Besides, he had the receipt, and if Elma joined the Guardians later, he could ask Makoto to reimburse him.

And even if they don't join, they can simply consider it a gift they gave to Elma.

Holding her phone, Eruma happily discussed with everyone how to use it. She had only learned how to add LINE friends, which she learned directly from Haruno, who had just gotten a new phone, when she bought hers.

After adding everyone present as a friend, Eruma asked Lobe for Tohru and the others' phone numbers and sent them all friend requests.

While resting at home, Tohru saw the friend request from Elma, paused for a moment, and then rejected it without thinking.

"Huh? You rejected him?"

Seeing the reply that refused to add her as a friend, Elma puffed up her cheeks and angrily pulled out her trident from somewhere, revealing the single horn on her forehead.

"That Thor, I'm going to settle the score with her! She won't even add me as a friend!"

Seeing that Erma was really about to rush out, Luo Bai quickly used his superpowers to snatch the trident from her hand.

"Alright, don't you know what kind of person Thor is? Especially since it's not face-to-face, there's even less chance she'll add you as a friend."

Seeing that her weapon had slipped from her grasp, Elma had no choice but to abandon her plan to cause trouble. She sat down again, saying with a resentful expression, "That's true, but I'm still so angry!"

After spending these days together, everyone naturally knew how to appease Elma.

Without even needing to show Luo Bai's size, Yang Nai simply picked up a cookie and stuffed it into Erma's mouth.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Eruma was startled at first, but then, feeling the sweet taste in her mouth, she immediately squinted her eyes happily and began to savor it.

Just as she finished setting out the ingredients, Mrs. Luo, who had come out of the kitchen, saw Elma like this and smiled, her eyes crinkling.

"This child is really cute."

Indeed, Erma looks quite cute when she's eating something delicious.

Although she is a dragon about the same age as Thor, she is actually just a girl like everyone else, and seems very innocent in her daily life.

After weighing the trident in his hand, Luo Bai returned it to Elma.

"Where do you usually hide this?"

After retrieving the trident, Elma placed it back inside the hem of her clothes in front of everyone, and the trident disappeared instantly.

Then Elma said, "As dragons, we are born with some magic that we can learn and use, and storing items is one of them. It's not a difficult thing, don't you all have bracelets for storing items?"

This is true.

Luo Bai nodded and looked at his bracelet.

Then he looked at his parents and asked, "Dad, Mom, do you want these? If you do, I'll ask Zhen Tu Huojin to make two for you. They'll be convenient for storing important things, and you won't have to worry about losing them."

Mrs. Luo had been eyeing this for a long time and asked excitedly, "Is it okay? Will it be very expensive?"

"It's alright. The ones we use are the standard models, without ridiculously large storage sizes, so the production cost isn't high." Luo Bai took out his phone and said, "Then I'll ask you for two."

Mr. Luo then said, "Um, can I change to a different style? I'm not used to the bracelet; I already wear a watch."

"Sure, let me ask."

Then, Luo Bai dialed Zhen Tu Huojin's number and explained the situation.

Zhen Tu Huojin readily agreed, saying he would have someone deliver it shortly—one a bracelet style and the other a newly developed watch style, which also incorporated the functions of a watch.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Luo naturally had no reason not to accept it.

Less than half an hour later, the items were delivered, thanks to the arrangements made by Masatoko.

With guidance from Luo Bai and Xue Nai, Luo's parents quickly learned how to use it.

After putting her phone into the bracelet, Luo's mother happily said, "That's great! Now I won't have to lug around a suitcase when traveling or going on business trips!"

Volume 1: Chapter 288 The Things Shiyu Forgot (2/2)

After fiddling with the storage bracelet for a while, Luo's mother happily went to process the groceries she had bought. Some of the meat needed to be marinated first so that she wouldn't be caught off guard when cooking later.

After learning a few common functions and apps on the phone, Eluma went back to her new home to tidy up.

Stretching, Luo Bai sat comfortably on the sofa, chatting and drinking tea with his father.

After a while, Mom finished marinating the meat and then came out to play mahjong with Yukino and the others to pass the time.

Tomorrow, they will have to go to Yukinoshita's house so that the two families can meet and have a meal together.

So tomorrow, Mai and the others will have to cook dinner for themselves.

After playing two rounds, Shiyu switched shifts with Mai and returned to Luo Bai's side.

"Uncle, how many days are you planning to stay this time?"

Sipping his tea, Mr. Luo smiled and said, "About a week to ten days, but I'll only stay in Chiba for three or four days before heading to Tokyo, and then to Osaka. I'll be busy with a lot of work. Our workload is relatively light. Over the years, we've cultivated many capable management talents who help us manage various companies. In many areas, we only need to keep an eye on the overall direction and then periodically check on the operations of the companies in different locations. This trip is also for our semi-annual inspection."

Shi Yu nodded. Although she didn't know much about running a company, she had occasionally heard Nangong Nayue talk about managing a brokerage firm, and some of the things she heard were quite similar.

Nangong Nayue doesn't get involved in the management of her agency much; she focuses more on nurturing Hoshino Ai.

Thinking of Hoshino Ai, Shiha also checked her phone.

Why isn't Xiao Ai back yet?

"Little Love?"

This was the first time Mr. Luo had heard this name, and he asked curiously, "Is he your friend?"

Luo Bai nodded, took out his phone, found Hoshino Ai's encyclopedia entry online, handed it to his father, and said, "This is Hoshino Ai, a rising idol, an artist under a friend's agency. She went on a trip with us before. She's been staying next door these past few days. She was originally planning to come with us to pick you up today, but she got a call from her boss halfway there and was called away at the last minute, probably because of some business."

"Oh, it's this child."

Upon seeing the photo, Luo's father immediately remembered that they had seen a program featuring Hoshino Ai when they were watching TV here before.

Shi Yu looked at Luo Bai and asked, "Could it be that Sister Yue's investigation has yielded results?"

"Yes, most likely."

There must be a problem with Xiao Ai's support team, which is why she was called in temporarily. Otherwise, it would have been at least until the end of August. Are you worried? Should I call Nangong Nayue? Actually, you could call her yourself, right?

Shiyu stuck out her tongue and said, "I can fight, but I'm Sister Nayue's assistant. I went on a trip for more than ten days this time, and I'm afraid Sister Nayue will say something."

Speaking of this, Luo Bai couldn't help but laugh.

Shiyu is clearly Nangong Nayue's assistant, but she's often absent every few days.

"I think Nangong Nayue is probably used to it by now. Anyway, you're not the only office worker. Speaking of which, you haven't done your submission to Jump yet. Have you contacted your junior since you got back?"

Then, Luo Bai saw Shi Yu's expression gradually stiffen.

"Wait a minute, you didn't forget to tell her before you left, did you?"

Seeing Shi Yu turn her head away, Luo Bai knew that she had definitely forgotten.

Helplessly pinching Shi Yu's cheek, Luo Bai said, "Hurry up and call your junior sister first. I'll also contact Nangong Nayue."

Shi Yu nodded, took a deep breath, and then walked towards the bedroom with her phone.

Luo Bai also picked up his phone and dialed Nangong Nayue's number.

The call was quickly connected, and Nangong Nayue's voice came through.

"Good afternoon, Xiao Ai is on her way back."

"Really?" Luo Bai nodded. "Is there a problem with her team?"

"I guessed it, that's right. But thankfully it wasn't her agent, it was a business operations person in the team who was bribed by people from the company behind Shinki Hikaru and kept passing on Ai's travel information. I checked the company over this period and then found the person. In addition to the team, there are also a few moles in the company, all of whom were bribed by people from other companies in the same industry."

Judging from Nangong Nayue's tone, she's really angry, and it's not just one mole.

But now that everything has been found, there shouldn't be any problems.

"So, what about the company behind that Shinmu Hikari? We just got back yesterday, and I did a quick look online, but there's no relevant information out there."

Nangong Nayue said directly, "That company has already collapsed, and the relevant personnel have been arrested. They're basically all in jail, and the news will be released in the next couple of days. In addition, I've replaced several high-ranking officials in the National Police Agency this time, getting rid of a bunch of old fogies and replacing them with some willing to work. Over the next six months, the entire Japanese police system will be re-examined from top to bottom, and those who don't meet the standards will be kicked out."

"Wow, they've put in a lot of effort. Hopefully, we'll see results soon."

Luo Bai smiled, exchanged a few words, and then ended the call.

Luo Bai's father, standing beside him, was completely dumbfounded.

"Son, the person you contacted?"

"Oh, that's Nangong Nayue, the head of the Tokyo area's Guardian Organization, nicknamed the Witch of the Gap. Although she doesn't have a high official status on the surface, she actually wields a lot of power. This time, it was because of Hoshino Ai's matter that she became thoroughly angry."

Then, Luo Bai briefly talked about that guy, Kamiki Hikaru.

After hearing this, Luo's father was also extremely shocked.

"Are these police officers really incompetent? They can get killed while doing surveillance work?"

Mr. Luo said he couldn't understand it.
