My fiancée Yukino

"..."

"..."

After a few seconds of silence, Luo Bai looked around to make sure no other teachers were present before asking, "Hiratsuka-sensei, what are you going to do?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka didn't answer, but silently waved to the three of them.

"Come on, I'll take you to get something to eat."

Luo Bai and Sima Weizhi exchanged a glance, while Kirishima Touka's eyes lit up instantly.

Then, Luo Bai put the snacks and drinks he bought into his bracelet, and followed along with Sima Weizhi and Kirishima Touka, while also sending a message to Yukino to let her know.

Yukino, who was tidying up her clothes in her room and about to take a shower, couldn't help but raise her eyebrows when she saw the message from Luo Bai. Then she thought of one of Hiratsuka Shizuka's preferences.

Eating ramen.

This food is high in oil and salt; I don't know how Hiratsuka Shizuka could like to eat it.

Seeing that Luo Bai and the other two were met by Hiratsuka Shizuka and taken away together, Yukino didn't think about going with them. After giving a simple reply, she took her change of clothes and went to take a bath with her classmates.

"Did Yukinoshita receive a text message from Luo Bai asking her to go on a date?"

"No, his homeroom teacher took him out to eat and asked if I wanted to go, but I didn't really want to go. Let's go take a shower."

"Luo Bai's classmate's class... ah, it's Hiratsuka-sensei! I've heard that Hiratsuka-sensei is really amazing!"

"How do you say it?"

Then, the girls' conversation shifted from Yukino and Rakuhaku to Hiratsuka Shizuka.

Meanwhile, after leaving the hotel, the four of them, led by Hiratsuka Shizuka, hailed a taxi and headed to a nearby shopping street.

This place just happened to be the place that Shiba Miori and Kirishima Touka originally wanted to visit, so it was quite a coincidence.

After arriving at the shopping street, Hiratsuka Shizuka led the three to a very lively ramen shop.

Upon entering, Shizuka Hiratsuka wore a satisfied expression as she smelled the aroma of ramen from the restaurant.

"This place is really good, boss! A large bowl of their signature ramen, and an extra-large portion of char siu!"

Then she looked at Luo Bai and the other two.

"You guys order whatever you want to eat, it's on me."

After thanking her, Kirishima Touka ordered a large bowl of ramen without hesitation.

Sima Miori recently learned a breathing technique from Kocho Shinobu, and while maintaining her figure, her appetite has also gradually increased, so she didn't hesitate and ordered a small bowl.

After looking at the menu, Luo Bai ordered a standard bowl of pork bone ramen.

After pouring himself a glass of water, Luo Bai looked at Hiratsuka Shizuka and said, "Hiratsuka-sensei, did you come out so late just to eat ramen? Why didn't you come for lunch?"

After taking off her hat, Hiratsuka Shizuka tossed her long hair and said, "I couldn't help it. I ate lunch with the other teachers, so I couldn't come alone. None of the other female teachers like ramen."

Luo Bai suddenly realized that this was indeed the only time Hiratsuka Shizuka could come out and eat what she wanted, since her preferences were different from those of the average female teacher.

Soon, the ramen arrived. Luo Bai looked at the fragrant bowl of pork bone ramen in front of him and then glanced in surprise at Hiratsuka Shizuka, who was already eating heartily.

"This restaurant is really good. No wonder Hiratsuka-sensei comes here to eat even at night."

Swallowing the noodles in her mouth, Hiratsuka Shizuka said smugly, "You can doubt my other abilities, but when it comes to finding delicious food, I'm never one to back down! By the way, aren't you going to call Shinobu and the others out?"

"She's probably busy. Ren said she needs to do a quick check-up on Mi Yu to see if she has any hidden injuries or anything like that."

"Tsk tsk, long-distance running, huh? And with their speed, they're definitely prone to accumulating injuries." Nodding, Hiratsuka Shizuka took a sip of soup and asked, "Send her back tomorrow?"

"Well, before that, I plan to take her to see a horse race in Kyoto. There's one tomorrow."

Just then, Luo Bai's phone rang; it was from Shinobu Kocho.

She asked Mi Yu, who was also very interested in the world of horse racing, and immediately agreed.

After receiving the reply, Luo Bai smiled and looked at Hiratsuka Shizuka.

"So, Hiratsuka-sensei, do you want to go see it together tomorrow?"

“Horse racing…” Hiratsuka pondered for a moment before saying, “Well, tomorrow is a free day anyway, so I’ll go with you guys. I’m also quite curious about that Miyuyu.”

Sima Miori and Kirishima Touka didn't go out to play with Luo Bai and the others today. Instead, they played around with Kawasaki Saki from their class. However, they also knew about the rice bath incident.

After swallowing the food in her mouth, Kirishima Touka was also filled with curiosity about rice baths.

"Can I go tomorrow too?"

"Of course," Luo Bai readily agreed, then looked at Sima Weizhi, "Want to go together?"

“Of course, you can’t leave me out alone.” Sima Weizhi nodded happily. “But Luo Jun, is that racehorse girl really no different from a human? Except for her ears and tail.”

Luo Bai pointed to his ears and said, "There are differences, and ears are one of them. Our ears are on the sides of our heads, while the horse women only have a pair of ears on the top of their heads. That's why the landline phones they use have very long handsets."

"Oh!! I see!" Sima Weizhi nodded in realization, becoming even more interested in rice bath.

While Luo Bai was eating ramen and discussing the horse girl, Kocho Shinobu was examining Mi Yu's legs.

Gently kneading Mi Yu's calves with both hands, Butterfly Shinobu said, noticing Mi Yu's tense expression, "Hmm... although there are no obvious symptoms yet, your muscles are already very fatigued. You've been training a lot lately, haven't you?"

Mi Yu nodded, her expression gradually becoming serious as she said, "Mi Yu promised McQueen that she would participate in the Emperor's Award, but my stamina and experience are no match for McQueen's. I can only rely on my mental strength to win, and I must rely on rigorous training to improve."

After the examination, Shinobu Kocho sat down next to Mi Yu: "Mental strength, is that what you call momentum? That's a method. However, continuing in this specialized field, even if it doesn't have an immediate impact, will still sow the seeds of future problems. I'll have someone prepare some medicine for you to use in conjunction with your training. I'll have Luo Jun pick it up for you tomorrow after we go to Chiba."

Mi Yu said gratefully, "Thank you, Sister Ren."

"Rice bath, rice bath, let's play Monopoly!"

Hoshino Ai's voice came over, and then Mi Yu was called over by everyone to play Monopoly together.

Volume 1: Chapter 419 Watching the Game (1/2)

The second day in Kyoto.

At dawn, Luo Bai was the first to wake up and open his eyes.

Sitting up in bed, Luo Bai glanced at the others who were still sleeping, yawned, then quietly changed his clothes, washed up, and went out for a run.

As soon as I went downstairs, I saw Hiratsuka Shizuka stretching in the lobby.

Good morning, Hiratsuka-sensei.

Hiratsuka Shizuka was quite surprised to see that Luo Bai had gotten up so early.

Good morning! You're up so early!

"I'm used to it. I usually get up around this time. I do some exercise in the morning, and if it's my turn to make breakfast, I'll get up a little earlier, around 6:30."

Luo Bai shifted slightly and said with a smile, "Then I'll go for a run."

"Okay, go ahead, but don't forget breakfast time."

"I know, I know~~"

After Luo Bai left, Hiratsuka Shizuka also sighed.

"This kid, putting everything else aside, he does a pretty good job of being self-aware, and he even knows to exercise regularly."

Then, Hiratsuka Shizuka realized that Luo Bai was building a harem, so he probably really needed to exercise more.

"Oh, Hiratsuka-sensei, who went out just now?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka turned around, looked at the grade head who was slowly walking over, and said with a smile, "Headmaster, this is Luo Bai from my class. He went out for a morning run."

"Oh, it's Luo Bai. I didn't expect him to have such good habits."

“It’s really good.”

Half an hour later, Luo Bai returned from his morning run, and some people were already up.

Luo Bai returned to her room and washed her face. The others in the room had already gotten up.

Seeing Luo Baichen return from his run, Hachiman Hikigaya stretched and slowly made the bed, saying, "You, you actually got up so early."

"Health is very important. Take advantage of your youth to exercise more, otherwise it will be very difficult later."

Luo Bai smiled and replied, then hung up the towel and prepared to go out for breakfast.

After breakfast, Luo Bai left the hotel with Yukino, Kirishima Touka, and Shiba Miori to meet up with Kocho Shinobu and the others.

Upon arriving at the meeting point, Shima Miori and Kirishima Touka also met Yone Yu, who was following Kocho Shinobu.

Sima Weizhi looked at Mi Yu with shining eyes and said, "You're Mi Yu! Hello, I'm Sima Weizhi!"

Seeing Sima Weizhi's enthusiastic manner, Mi Yu moved to the side in fear, then darted behind Luo Bai and tightly grabbed Luo Bai's clothes.

"Hello, I'm Mi Yu..."

Luo Bai glanced helplessly at Sima Weizhi: "That's not enough, don't scare Mi Yu. Now that everyone's here, let's set off. There are still many places to visit today."

Then, he turned around and gently patted Mi Yu's little head.

"Don't be afraid, she's just curious about you. I'll tell her to stay away from you in a bit and everything will be fine."

Mi Yu nodded repeatedly, which made Sima Weizhi particularly depressed.

"I don't have any bad intentions..."

Yang Nai clapped her hands with a smile: "Alright, don't worry about such a small thing, let's go!"

Next, everyone began their Kyoto trip.

After visiting several tourist attractions in the morning, we had lunch at a nice restaurant, and then at 1:30 pm, we arrived at the racetrack in Kyoto.

Hiratsuka Shizuka also joined the others here, looking at Mi Yu curiously, finding it hard to associate the petite Mi Yu with a professional racehorse.

Today's match wasn't a particularly high-stakes event; it was a Game 3 mid-range game, but it still attracted a large audience.

Upon seeing the racetrack, Mi Yu became excited.

After all, she's a racehorse girl, and her instinct to run remains incredibly strong even in another world.

Luo Bai smiled and said, "It won't work here. After we go to Chiba, we can test your strength at the base there. For now, let's watch the match."

Mi Yu nodded: "Okay, Mi Yu understands!"

As time went by, the number of viewers also increased.

Luo Bai stood between Yukino and Miyu, waiting for the match to begin while thoughtfully glancing around.

I have a feeling that someone is watching me, and there's something off about their aura.

Noticing Luo Bai's absent-mindedness, Yukino asked, "What's wrong?"

Luo Bai shook his head slightly: "It's nothing, let's watch the game first."

A dozen minutes later, the horses and jockeys took to the field one after another. Mi Yu also saw the horse racing in this world with his own eyes, and he kept his eyes wide open, observing them without stopping.

"Wow, these racehorses are huge, and they look incredibly fast!"

At this moment, Mi Yu was completely free of shyness and became very engrossed in the moment.

After all the horses entered the gate, the race officially began with a countdown.

The race went by quite quickly, considering it was only a little over a thousand meters long, but it was still very interesting for everyone who was watching the race live for the first time.

Especially in the final sprint, everyone was extremely focused.

After the match ended, everyone discussed the game as they walked off the field.

Upon arriving outside the venue, Luo Bai said to everyone, "Then I'll take Mi Yu back to the Qianye base, get the things, and then send her back."

Mi Yu looked at everyone, bowed, and said, "Thank you all for taking care of me these past two days. I'm very happy."

Shinobu Kocho smiled and said, "Don't overexert yourself in practice when you get back, and make sure you're mentally prepared. We'll come back and cheer you on on the day of the competition."

Mi Yu nodded vigorously: "Yes, Mi Yu, I'll do my best!"

Then, Luo Bai looked at Shinobu Kocho and gestured to the surroundings with his eyes.

Shinobu understood immediately, nodded slightly, and then watched Luo Bai and Mi Yu leave.

As Luo Bai walked toward the Shinkansen station, he noticed that the previously faint gazes had become more noticeable. So he whispered to Mi Yu beside him, "Mi Yu, something might happen later. Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Upon hearing this, Mi Yu's ears immediately perked up.

"Huh? What's up?"
