My fiancée Yukino

Yang Nai glared at her, then looked at Xia Shi and Tina and said, "Your task right now is to enjoy life and stop thinking about these unnecessary things, understand?"

As for how much of what the two little girls would actually listen to, to be honest, Luo Bai himself wasn't sure.

Volume 1: Chapter 373 The Way Back (1/2)

After lunch, the others went back to playing, while Luo Bai asked Lucoa to teleport him and Hoshino Ai to each other's apartments.

Emerging from the portal, the two found themselves in the entrance hall of Hoshino Ai's apartment.

"You're back!" Hoshino Ai said happily, handing Luo Bai a pair of slippers. "Brother Luo Bai, come in quickly. I rarely have guests here. Usually, it's just my manager and Natsuki-nee, and then Utaha-nee and Eriri-nee!"

Luo Bai smiled and changed into slippers: "Then I'll take my leave."

Since she lives alone, Ai Hoshino didn't choose a large apartment; she opted for a standard studio apartment with one bedroom and one living room.

However, due to her work, her apartment has excellent security facilities. Even though the space is small, it is still considered a high-end apartment with very nice interior decoration.

After bringing Luo Bai to the living room, Hoshino Ai said, "Brother Luo Bai, please sit for a while. I'll go get some clothes!"

"Okay, go ahead."

After Hoshino Ai ran to the bedroom, Luo Bai sat down on the sofa in the living room and began to observe the small apartment.

The place wasn't big, but Hoshino Ai made some improvements to the original luxurious decor, adding a lot of decorative items.

The TV cabinet in front of the living room is also filled with her various albums since her debut, concert DVDs, and albums from many other pop singers, crammed full.

In the corner of the living room, there was a hula hoop that didn't look new; it must have been one that Hoshino Ai used regularly.

As a fifteen-year-old girl, Hoshino Ai is indeed extremely disciplined in terms of her figure and physical fitness.

Less than five minutes later, the bedroom door opened and Hoshino Ai came out.

"So, are the clothes ready?"

Ai Hoshino nodded happily: "I've chosen them, including the shoes for the performance, and I've brought my own microphone too!"

After saying that, Hoshino Ai showed her bracelet, in which all the items were already placed.

"Okay, let's go back then. I'll call Lucoa."

Just as Luo Bai stood up and was about to take out his phone, Hoshino Ai came over and stopped him.

With her starry eyes blinking, Hoshino Ai said excitedly, "Brother Luo Bai, let's fly back! I've never tried this before!"

"Huh? Fly back?"

Luo Bai checked the time and said, "There's plenty of time, definitely enough. We can go straight to the auditorium after we get back so you can scout it out and get used to the stage. But are you sure? You've never flown that high before, have you?"

"It was just once. When we were playing in the other world before, Lucoa took us to watch your battle with Tohru from the sky. It was pretty good!"

Look

While Hoshino Ai was so eager, Luo Bai didn't care. After changing his shoes, he activated his cognitive impairment, and the two of them went to the corridor of the apartment.

"But if I fly you back with me, I'll have to hold you in my arms, okay?"

Hoshino Ai was prepared and said with a smile, "Sure, if it's Luo Bai-ge, just don't fall for me, hehe~~"

Luo Bai smiled and gently tapped the girl's head, then picked her up in a princess carry amidst her gasp and soared into the sky.

Wow! That's so exciting!

After flying through the sky, Hoshino Ai wrapped her arms around Luo Bai's neck, looked down at the buildings that had become very small, and the few pedestrians, and said excitedly, "This is what it feels like to fly in the sky! It's completely different from last time!"

Luo Bai used his superpower to block the oncoming air, making their flying experience exceptionally good. He then laughed and said, "It's only because I used my superpower that you can fly at this speed normally; otherwise, you wouldn't even be able to open your eyes."

"Hehe, of course I know you're amazing, Brother Luo Bai, that's why I asked you to mentor me!"

Looking at the clouds so close above, Hoshino Ai said happily, "I feel like I've got some inspiration. When I get back tonight, I'm going to try writing a song!"

Luo Bai smiled and said, "Oh, really? You're learning to write songs?"

Hoshino Ai nodded repeatedly: "Of course! My goal is to become a professional singer, not an idol singer, so of course I need to learn more. Even if I don't become an expert in all aspects of songwriting, I should at least know some things and understand how to write lyrics and compose music. Natsuki-nee also agrees with my idea and has hired some very good professionals in the industry to teach me!"

Luo Bai was quite happy to see Hoshino Ai's smug look on her face.

The current Ai Hoshino has completely avoided the fate in the original work, and everything is developing in a positive direction. She also has a very cheerful personality and has made many friends.

Upon seeing a small bird fly past, Hoshino Ai turned to look at Luo Bai, who was focused on flying forward, and her heart began to beat faster.

Seeing that there was still some time before she had to go back, Hoshino Ai continued, "Brother Luo Bai, if I get into Soubu High School next year, can I join your club?"

"Hmm? You want to join the Service Department?"

Looking at the girl, Luo Bai smiled and said, "Sure, our club is pretty relaxed. We only get occasional requests. Most of the time, we're studying or reading in the clubroom. Next year, Hikigaya's sister Komachi will also be taking the entrance exam for Soubu High School, and so will Kanao. You can keep each other company."

Hoshino Ai nodded happily: "That's great, but next year you'll be seniors, so I'll only be in the same school as you for one year. That's so short."

"What's the big deal? If we want to see each other, we can see each other anytime. Also, if you come to Chiba to study next year, have you thought about where you'll stay? Why don't you just stay at our place? We have extra rooms, we'll save one for you."

Hoshino Ai agreed without hesitation.

"Okay, then I'll be bothering you next year!"

During summer vacation, Hoshino Ai lived with Mai. They all lived in an apartment, and Hoshino Ai really enjoyed the lively living environment.

Amidst laughter and conversation, Luo Bai led Hoshino Ai back to Chiba and arrived at Soubu High School, a round trip that took about fifteen minutes.

After entering the school and overcoming their cognitive impairment, the two returned to the Service Department.

Some of the students had already left and continued playing around the school, leaving only Utaha, Eriri, and Yukino behind.

Seeing Luo Bai and Hoshino Ai enter through the main gate, Yukino asked in surprise, "Didn't you ask Lucoa to open a portal for you?"

Luo Bai said with a smile, "Xiao Ai wanted to experience the feeling of flying, so I flew her back. Where are Xia Shi and Tina?"

"My older sister took me to see a performance outside; it seems there's a new show."

Closing the book in her hand, Yukino stood up and said, "Now that we're back, let's go to the auditorium."

Volume 1: Chapter 374 Auditorium Performance (2/2)

The five of them left the Department of Service and went together to the school auditorium.

The auditorium is being prepared. The students who will be performing have all arrived, followed by the host, members of the student council, and members of the executive committee.

Seeing Luo Bai and the others arrive, the executive committee members were all very excited, but remembering the student council president's physique, none of them said anything.

The students who were preparing for the program were also very curious to see the executive committee members so excited, wondering what was going on.

With Hoshino Ai by his side, Luo Bai found the student council president, Kaijun.

"Senior, is the stage still empty? I'll have Xiao Ai go up there first to check it out, and then test her microphone later."

Shiromaru said happily, "Okay, I'll go tell everyone. Hoshino-kun, do you want everyone to know your identity later?"

Hoshino Ai thought for a moment, then looked at Luo Bai and said, "How about we keep it a secret for now? I don't need to rehearse the song right now. I just want to check out the venue. I can find a place to practice by myself later. I'll bring the accompaniment to the backstage after the performance this afternoon."

"Then it's settled."

Shiromaru naturally agreed, and then arranged for everyone to continue with their own tasks, taking Luo Bai and Hoshino Ai onto the stage.

Everyone in the auditorium was very curious to see Hoshino Ai standing next to Luo Bai.

Upon arriving at the auditorium stage, Hoshino Ai took a look at the size of the stage and happily exclaimed, "This venue is great! The view is excellent, and there are plenty of seats available!"

Following Hoshino Ai, Luo Bai nodded and said, "It was very lively here during yesterday's performance. The audience was very enthusiastic, so be prepared."

"Yes, yes, I'm really looking forward to it."

After jumping around on stage for a while and testing her microphone, Hoshino Ai immediately left the stage to prevent her identity from being exposed too early.

Seeing the two of them come down, Eriri asked curiously, "Is that all?"

"There's nothing to prepare!" Hoshino Ai said with a smile. "My performance time is around 3:30, so I can take a walk around now and then find a place to practice!"

Shi Yu checked the time: "It's 12:30 now. The afternoon performance starts at 1:00. We only have half an hour left. Where should we go?"

Luo Bai said, "Just wander around outside. If you want to watch the show, you'll have to come a little earlier, otherwise there might not be any chairs left, and you'll have to stand at the back or sides of the auditorium."

Eriri also said, "Then let's just stay here. We still have some manga-related things to discuss."

So, Utaha, Eriri, and Yukino decided not to go out and sat down in the auditorium.

Luo Bai then took Hoshino Ai out of the auditorium. After wandering around outside for a while, they went to find Hiratsuka Shizuka and got the key to the music room.

Arriving at the music room, after locking the door to prevent anyone from suddenly entering, Luo Bai looked at Hoshino Ai, who had taken off her hat and sunglasses, and said, "Shall we practice now?"

"Mmm." Hoshino Ai nodded happily. "I'll warm up my voice first, and then practice the song a couple of times, and that should be about it."

For the rest of the time, Luo Bai had nothing to do.

He simply moved a chair to the entrance of the music classroom and sat there quietly, watching Hoshino Ai practice.

About an hour later, the two left the music classroom, returned the key, and went directly to the auditorium.

The afternoon performance in the auditorium had already begun. On stage, a two-person crosstalk performance was taking place, making the audience laugh heartily.

After listening for a while, Luo Bai said in surprise, "I didn't expect it to be different from what you said yesterday. You really put your heart into it."

Hoshino Ai, who was standing nearby, was also very happy to hear this, and immediately covered her stomach.

She had taken off her sunglasses and was only wearing a baseball cap. Fortunately, the lights in the auditorium were not very bright, so people in the audience could not see her face clearly unless they looked carefully.

Moreover, since the two of them were staying in the back corner, no one would look over; everyone's attention was on the stage.

After the crosstalk and dance performances, it was finally time for Luo Bai's class to perform the musical, The Little Prince.

When Luo Bai saw Hachiman take the stage, he instantly lost his composure.

After seeing him yesterday, Luo Bai thought he would never laugh again, but he still couldn't help it.

Hoshino Ai was also suppressing a laugh, her shoulders shaking incessantly.

"Pfft... Even though Hachiman's lines are pretty good, it just looks so out of place with his face, I can't help but laugh!"

After trying to suppress her laughter, Hoshino Ai finally couldn't hold it in any longer and could only turn around and lean on Luo Bai's shoulder, laughing softly.

Luo Bai could understand Hoshino Ai's laughter at this moment. After all, Hachiman's personality and usual style of doing things were not like someone who would perform on stage in a musical, let alone be one of the main characters. It was indeed very entertaining.

However, aside from the comedic effect brought by this actor, everyone in the musical performed very well, and the performance was excellent, winning a standing ovation from the audience.

After the musical ended and they watched two more shows, Luo Bai took Hoshino Ai backstage.

President Shiromaru and Haruno were both there. When they saw Luo Bai and Hoshino Ai arrive, Shiromaru happily said, "You're here? It's almost time. You can go change your clothes now!"

Luo Bai handed the bag containing Hoshino Ai's performance costume to the girl and asked Shiromaru to take her to the changing room.

Approaching Yang Nai, Luo Bai, while watching the performance on stage from backstage, asked, "Is everyone here?"

"They're here! Everyone's watching the performance down there. After all, this is a very important performance at the cultural festival, and every single one of them is fantastic!" Yang Nai said happily. "These current juniors are all so outstanding!"

Luo Bai nodded in agreement: "Yes, it's really good."

Fifteen minutes later, Hoshino Ai, having changed her clothes and put on some simple makeup, followed Shiromaru and walked over under the excited gazes of the backstage performers and executive committee members.

Wearing a pink outfit with many star elements and matching boots, Hoshino Ai transformed from the cute girl next door into a glamorous idol in an instant.

Upon seeing this, Luo Bai couldn't help but sigh inwardly, realizing that this person was indeed a born idol, attracting attention the moment he appeared.

Seeing that Luo Bai had been staring at her ever since she arrived, Hoshino Ai happily winked at him, instantly boosting her already strong charm to another level.

Volume 1: Chapter 375 Hoshino Ai Takes the Stage (1/2)

Holding her own microphone, Hoshino Ai said expectantly, "The accompaniment has been handed over to the backstage staff, and I can go on stage in a little while!"

Luo Bai glanced at the time and said with a smile, "There's still about half an hour left. Take some time to adjust your mindset and think about what you want to say when you go on stage later."

"Hehe, don't worry, I'm very experienced. Besides, this isn't a concert, so there's no need for any overly formal talk. Just have fun!"

Just then, the principal and Shizuka Hiratsuka arrived.

The principal looked at Hoshino Ai and said with a smile, "Hoshino-kun, we'll be looking forward to your performance later. But I forgot to ask, do you need to tell your agency before you go on stage here at school today?"

Hoshino Ai happily shook her head: "It's okay, Principal. I've already spoken to my manager and boss, and they don't object. Today is my day off anyway, as long as I don't just take on random commercial performances, it's fine. Today isn't a commercial performance, so it's okay!"

The principal knew a little about Hoshino Ai, this new generation idol singer, through television, but didn't know much about her.

Now that they have met face-to-face, the principal has found that the girl is a very smart and composed child, and he is increasingly looking forward to her enrollment next year.
