My fiancée Yukino

"Hiratsuka-sensei?"

Luo Bai was quite surprised, but he still opened the passenger door and sat down, while Yukino and Mai sat in the back.

After starting the car, Luo Bai asked, "Hiratsuka-sensei, what are you doing here?"

“I moved over the weekend,” Hiratsuka Shizuka said as she drove. “My lease on my old apartment expired, so I moved to a new place. After looking around, I found a studio apartment here. The price was about the same as the one I was living in before, but the surrounding environment was much better, so I booked it right away and spent two days moving over the weekend. It was only after I moved that I remembered that this place is quite close to the villa area where you live, and then we ran into each other today.”

"Sigh...we moved."

Luo Bai nodded, genuinely surprised. "You mentioned before, Professor Hiratsuka, that you'd lived in that apartment for a long time, right? Why didn't you continue living there?"

"Isn't it because the landlord wants to raise the rent?"

Speaking of this, Hiratsuka Shizuka was furious. "Knowing that the rents around here are starting to go up, he raised his own without hesitation. Doesn't he even know how old his apartment building is? He still raised his rent. I'm being lenient by not punching him twice!"

Sitting in the back seat, Yukino smiled and said, "Hiratsuka-sensei, there's no need to be so angry. Many private landlords are like that; they don't care about anything else, only their own interests, and they don't care about their relationships with long-term tenants at all. Anyway, Hiratsuka-sensei isn't short of money, and she has the time; finding a good apartment is a piece of cake. However, I didn't expect that Hiratsuka-sensei wouldn't ask me or my sister for help. We could have found you a decent apartment."

Hiratsuka Shizuka, with one hand on the steering wheel and the other waving, said, "No need. I'm used to finding a suitable place myself. Of course, if I can't find one, I'll definitely contact you."

After finishing talking about Hiratsuka Shizuka's move, Luo Bai said, "Hiratsuka-sensei, you know that two transfer students are coming to our class today, right?"

"kindness?"

Looking at Luo Bai with surprise, Hiratsuka Shizuka immediately realized, "You do know, but you knew so early on, it couldn't be someone you know, could it?"

"That's right, I do know him. I'm in charge of monitoring one of them, though nothing bad is likely to happen."

Luo Bai did not reveal Kirishima Touka's identity in order to prevent Hiratsuka Shizuka from having any emotional fluctuations.

After all, ghouls don't have a good reputation.

Hiratsuka Shizuka scratched her long hair, looking utterly dejected, almost as if she wanted to take out a cigarette and put it in her mouth.

"Luo Bai, tell me the truth, are there going to be more students transferring into our class?"

"Um..." Luo Bai hesitated for a moment before saying, "There shouldn't be any more, at least according to the information I have."

"No? I hope so."

Glancing at the two girls in the rearview mirror, Hiratsuka Shizuka ultimately didn't take out a cigarette. Instead, she took a puff and put it in her mouth, chewing as she said, "I've seen those two girls' files. Tsk tsk, the boys in class are going to cause some trouble today. But since you know them, are they pretty impressive?"

"Well, one of them comes from a family that owns a weapons factory, so her combat ability is decent; she can easily take on several people. As for the other one... she has some special abilities. Hiratsuka-sensei, you don't need to worry about them being hit on or bullied. It's good enough if they don't bully others."

"That's good. Please keep an eye on things for me in the classroom."

After saying that, he handed Luo Bai a piece of chewing gum.

Volume 1: Chapter 403 Two Transfer Students (1/2)

Upon arriving at the school, the four of them got off the bus and walked together toward the teaching building.

As they walked, Hiratsuka Shizuka looked at Sakurajima Mai and said, "You're a senior in high school now, so you'll have to learn to drive, right? If you're going to study at the University of Tokyo, you can't just use the company car to travel between the two places, you'll have to learn to drive yourself."

Mai Sakurajima smiled and nodded: "I do have that plan. I'll go learn to drive during the holidays. I've already made arrangements for a driving instructor."

If Mai is going to learn to drive, she plans to learn together with Shinobu Kocho at the base. Many of the team members there can drive, and there are also professional drivers of various vehicles.

They've already arranged with a female team member to teach them how to drive.

Of course, Luo Bai can also teach me, and Luo Bai will help me when the time comes.

Luo Bai, on the other hand, already knew how to drive and was planning to get his driver's license when he was old enough so he could comfortably drive himself around.

Upon arriving at the teaching building, everyone went to their respective classrooms and offices.

When Luo Bai arrived at the classroom, Hachiman Hikigaya was already there.

After saying good morning, Hachiman Hikigaya turned around and said to Luo Bai, who was sitting down, "I heard from others that two transfer students will be joining our class today."

Luo Bai nodded: "That's right, there are indeed two, and they are both girls. In addition, there are two students who transferred to other classes, one boy and one girl."

"You know all that? And you know what his/her identity is?"

Luo Bai continued to nod, taking out his homework from his schoolbag: "The two who transferred to our class are from other worlds. One, like Xia Shi and Tina, is the daughter of the largest weapons development company in that world. She was busy building the new company here before enrolling. The other one is a ghoul."

The first one was alright, but when Hachiman Hikigaya heard the word "ghoul," he was completely dumbfounded.

"Wait a minute, you're not kidding me, are you? A ghoul? Really?!"

Hachiman Hikigaya knows about ghouls; they're like the demons in Shinobu Kocho's world, treating humans as food.

In response, Luo Bai shrugged and calmly said, "Don't worry, if there were any real danger, we wouldn't have released her. After this extermination, the few ghouls that remained were relatively friendly, they had no ill will towards humans, and they didn't kill anyone. They could obtain food without killing anyone; they had the means. And now, after genetic repair, these problems are gone. Apart from retaining some ghoul fighting ability, their eating habits are now the same as ordinary people."

Even so, Hachiman Hikigaya was still somewhat frightened.

"Is this really okay?"

"Don't worry, there won't be any problems. After school today, I'll take you to their coffee shop. Putting everything else aside, their coffee-making skills are quite good. It's just a pity that their manager did a lot of bad things in the past and is still in jail. He won't be out anytime soon. Otherwise, his coffee would be the best."

A coffee shop run by ghouls...

Although it sounds dangerous, judging from Luo Bai's expression, it seems like it might actually be worth going.

Swallowing hard, Hachiman Hikigaya asked, "Are you really going?"

"Why not? Today is their first day open, and I haven't been there yet. Let's all go together. It's okay if they don't open for a day for club activities, since there aren't many requests anyway."

At that moment, Yui Yuigahama also arrived.

"Xiao Qi, Luo Jun, what are you talking about? Where are you going?"

Luo Bai smiled and said, "It's a new coffee shop opened by someone I know. I told Hachiman that we'd like to check it out this afternoon. Are you interested? Yukino, Mai, and I are all planning to go and have a look around."

"Oh, it's someone you know. That's great!"

Upon hearing that everyone would be going together, Yui Yuigahama immediately perked up.

However, Luo Bai didn't plan to tell Yui Bin the specific details right now; he'd wait until noon to say so.

Soon, the school bell rang, and everyone returned to their seats.

Everyone in the class already knew that transfer students were coming. Some well-informed people even said they had seen them in the office. They were two beautiful girls, which immediately made the boys in the class excited.

As the classroom door opened, the homeroom teacher, Hiratsuka Shizuka, arrived, followed by two girls in school uniforms with completely different styles, who walked into the classroom together.

Looking at the whole class, Hiratsuka Shizuka tapped the podium with her lesson plan, quieting down the commotion that had just started.

"Quiet down, everyone! We have two new students in our class today, as you probably already know. Now, let them introduce themselves."

After speaking, Hiratsuka Shizuka looked at Shiba Miori.

Sima Weizhi had a faint smile on her face ever since she came in. Then she picked up the chalk and wrote her name on the blackboard.

"Hello everyone, I am Shiba Miori. My hobbies are kendo and studying physics and chemistry. I am very happy to be here at Soubu High School."

This hobby is really out of character for someone with such a refined and elegant demeanor.

This thought popped into the minds of all the students in the class.

Then Kirishima Touka also wrote her name on the blackboard.

"Hello everyone, I'm Touka Kirishima, and my hobby is researching coffee."

Upon hearing Kirishima Touka's self-introduction, Hikigaya Hachiman immediately understood that this was the ghoul who had transferred to the school.

Luo Bai once said that besides eating people, ghouls can also use coffee to replace the effects of food.

After the two finished introducing themselves, Hiratsuka Shizuka looked at the class seating arrangement and then began to rearrange the seats, changing the two people in front of Luo Bai to sit in front of her, and letting Sima Miori and Kirishima Touka sit there.

After the adjustment, Hachiman Hikigaya noticed that his seat was now closer to Yui Yuigahama, directly behind her at an angle.

After sitting down in her seat, Kirishima Touka smiled and nodded at Luo Bai.

Head: "I'll leave the rest to you, Luo Bai."

The voice was very low and no one else heard it, but Luo Bai heard it clearly and did not respond, only nodding slightly.

Although she knew the boys in the class were still curious about the two beautiful girls, Hiratsuka Shizuka didn't indulge them and started today's class meeting directly.

After the class meeting, the formal class began.

As expected, when the first class finally ended, a number of boys and girls immediately surrounded Sima Miori and Kirishima Touka, chatting with them curiously.

Luo Bai didn't participate; he was holding his phone, browsing shopping websites, preparing to buy some things from China that were hard to find in Japan.

Volume 1: Chapter 404 Lunchtime (2/2)

Over the course of the morning, Sima Miori and Kirishima Touka gradually became familiar with their classmates.

On the other side, Kisara Tendo and Rentaro Satomi were in a similar situation. Both of them had recovered and were finally able to live a peaceful life like ordinary people. They were both in very good spirits.

After the morning classes are over, it's time to have lunch.

After packing up her textbooks, Sima Weizhi immediately took her lunch bag, which looked like it contained a lot of things, and came to Luo Bai with a smile.

"Luo Jun, let's go, I haven't been to your club yet!"

Luo Bai glanced at Sima Miori, nodded, and then said to Kirishima Touka, who was sitting in front of him without saying a word, "Kirishima, did you bring a bento?"

"what!"

After a moment of hesitation, Kirishima Touka shook her head and said, "No, I've been tidying up my place these past two days, and I haven't stocked up on any ingredients in the kitchen. I've been eating at the cafeteria, but I'm planning to buy some from the school store."

"I knew it would be like this." Luo Bai glanced at Kirishima Touka, who clearly had considerable fighting strength but looked rather weak, and said, "Let's go, let's go to the club together. I've prepared your bento. But only for today. From now on, you'll have to prepare your own lunch. Is that alright?"

Kirishima Touka stared at Luo Bai for a moment, then stood up gratefully: "Okay, I understand, thank you."

"Okay, let's go then."

Seeing Hachiman Hikigaya and Yui Yuigahama walking over, Luo Bai sighed softly.

"The number of people is increasing."

After the five of them went out together, the remaining students in the class immediately started a heated discussion.

"I never expected that both Sima and Kirishima would know Luo Bai!"

"How come all the girls he knows are pretty girls?!"

"And Luo Bai even prepared a bento for Kirishima, he seems to know her very well!"

"They must have gone to the Service Club. Yukinoshita and Sakurajima Mai are there too. Ah, I want to go too!"

Listening to the discussion around her, Hina Ebina took out her own lunchbox and chuckled, "Yumiko, two girls who are just as good-looking and charming as you have joined our class. Are you feeling threatened?"

Yumiko Miura snorted arrogantly and said, "Sense of crisis? Hmph, how could that be? Are you underestimating me?"

"No, not at all. Putting aside Kirishima Touka, the temperament and way of speaking that Shima Miori showed this morning clearly indicate that she comes from an extraordinary family."

At this moment, Hayato Hayama also came over. This small group of them usually ate lunch together.

Sitting down with his bento box, Hayama Hayato smiled and said, "Ebina is right. That Shiba-kun's family is quite powerful. Although I don't know where he's from, they've acquired a large plot of land on the outskirts of Chiba and are building a large factory. They've also received strong support from Chiba Prefecture, including the Yukinoshita family, who are helping with manpower and resources. If nothing unexpected happens, they'll become the leading heavy industry group in the Kanto region within six months."

The news that Hayama Hayato gave also greatly surprised the people around him.

Tobe Sho exclaimed in shock, "This, isn't this the young lady? But Hayato, how did you know? Was your family involved?"

Hayato Hayama smiled wryly, "How could I possibly know? It's just that my father is a lawyer, so the Yukinoshita family called me over to help out a little, and I happened to meet that Miori Shima's father. As for getting involved, my family isn't qualified at all. I just didn't expect that this Miori Shima wouldn't go to the international class, but instead came to our class, and that she's surprisingly easygoing."

Tobe Sho agreed, saying, "That's right, that's right. What a surprise! I originally thought that a young lady like her would be as difficult to communicate with as Yukinoshita!"

When Yukino was mentioned, Miura Yumiko's lips twitched slightly, and then she said, "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore, let's eat first."

As she opened her bento box, Miura Yumiko began to think about how to communicate with this Shima Miori.

Miura Yumiko had worked hard to achieve her current social standing in the class, and she didn't want it to be changed so easily.

Meanwhile, in the Service Department, the people who came for lunch quickly arrived.

Luo Bai took out a bento box and handed it to Kirishima Touka, saying, "Here, this is for you. I just bought this bento box too. You can use this one from now on. You just moved there, so you probably haven't bought a lot of things yet, right?"

Taking the bento, Kirishima Touka thanked her, "Thank you, Luo Bai. I haven't bought anything yet. I just finished tidying up my room. I've spent the rest of my time setting up the shop. I'm so glad we can open today."

On the way to the club, Yui Yuigahama learned that Touka Kirishima's house was the café everyone was going to this afternoon, so she asked curiously, "Kirishima-san, is your family's café very big?"

"If it's big... it's alright, about the same size as other coffee shops on the market, but the decor should be better."

Yukino then added, "The renovation was handled by the Yukinoshita family. It was Mr. Mado who placed the order, so we naturally put our heart into it. I only found out later from my mother that it was for the renovation of an antique café."

"Sigh~~ Yukino, you just found out too? I thought you two had known each other for a long time!"

Yukino opened the bento box and said with a smile, "Luo Bai has met Kirishima before, but I haven't been to the base much. This is the first time I've met him."
