My fiancée Yukino

"I'll go back too."

Then, Luo Bai, along with Yukino, Shima Miori, and Kirishima Touka, returned to the hotel where Soubu High School was staying.

As soon as Luo Bai entered the room, he saw Tobe Sho crying his heart out, while Hayama Hayato was comforting him.

Luo Bai sat down next to Hachiman Hikigaya, who was playing a game, and asked, "What's wrong? Can't hold it in anymore?"

Hachiman Hikigaya nodded: "Yes, I didn't expect him to be so good at holding back. He held back all the way to his room before he started crying."

"Oh, I see."

Luo Bai glanced at Hu Bu Xiang in surprise.

At this moment, Totsuka Saika also whispered, "I never thought that Tobe-kun liked Ebina-kun so much. But it's okay, even though the confession failed, Ebina-kun didn't say that we wouldn't be friends anymore."

Luo Bai shrugged and said, "Although I don't know Ebina that well, I can tell that he probably has some unknown past, so he seems rather averse to romance. Coupled with Hobe's own personality issues, it's only natural that he was rejected."

Hearing Luo Bai's words, Hu Buxiang looked up, sniffed, and said, "It's exactly as you said, Luo Bai, the other party doesn't have any good feelings towards me."

No matter how much groundwork I laid beforehand, or how well I chose the location, it was all for naught. Before I even opened my mouth, they rejected me outright. But... but I'm still so unwilling to give up! Aaaaaah!!!

Luo Bai could only shrug helplessly. He couldn't offer any advice on this matter; Hu Buxiang had to adjust his mood and move on on his own.

......

On the second day, apart from visiting some attractions that they hadn't been to in the first two days, everyone spent most of their time buying souvenirs.

In the afternoon, everyone gathered and took the Shinkansen back home, concluding their Kyoto school trip.

The seat I returned to was the same one I had taken when I arrived.

Kawasaki Saki looked at Luo Bai and Yukino across from her, sipped her drink, and asked, "Hoshino Ai, aren't you coming back with you?"

Kawasaki Saki was one of the people who knew about Hoshino Ai and Luo Bai's hangouts these past two days.

Luo Bai shook his head: "Her company president is here these past two days, so there's no rush. She'll take a private car back later."

Nangong Nayue is still dealing with those monsters in Kyoto today. She's almost done, and she can bring Hoshino Ai and the others back later.

After arriving in Chiba, Luo Bai and the others took a car arranged by the Sima Weizhi family and returned to the villa area, where they began preparing dinner.

In the living room, Mai, along with Xia Shi and Tina, listened to everyone recount their experiences on the school trip over the past few days, including their acquaintance with Mi Yu, the racehorse girl.

After learning about Mi Yu, Tina's eyes widened as she looked at Xia Shi, who was standing silently to the side, and said, "There's another person calling us 'brother,' and he's even older than us. This Mi Yu is a real threat!"

Xia Shi, unusually, did not refute Tina, and agreed, saying, "And the other party is a horse girl, which reminds me of someone."

Tina immediately realized what was going on and said, "You mean Buse Tsui, right?"

Fush Tsui was also a cursed child who was rescued. She had a cat-like factor in her body. Due to the high infection rate, her body was affected, and she unexpectedly grew a pair of cat ears and could extend sharp claws like a cat.

Except for not having a cat tail, she is no different from a catgirl.

Fortunately, Midori Fuse didn't live at the Chiba base, but in Tokyo; otherwise, she would have been a huge threat.

Catgirls are incredibly attractive to people; just look at the cats in my house and you'll know.

And now, a real horse girl has appeared, and she even calls Luo Bai "brother." This is much more threatening than that half-baked cat girl, Bu Shi Cui!

Watching the two little ones interact, Mai patted their heads helplessly: "Stop messing around, Miyu was saved by Luo Jun, just like Xia Shi. It's normal for her to have feelings for him. You two should behave yourselves. Didn't you see that Yukino didn't object?"

Upon hearing Mai mention her, Yukino took a sip of tea and said, "It's nothing. As for Miyu, I like her quite a bit. She's a very cute child."

Moreover, Yukino knew in her heart that Tina and Natsume were just talking, and once they actually got to know Miyu, they would probably be playing together in less than half a day.

Just then, a spatial rift appeared in the living room, and Nangong Nayue walked out with Kocho Shinobu and the others.

"Ah, I'm finally home~~"

Yang Nai stretched, then happily came to the sofa, picked up Xia Shi, and rubbed against him.

"Xia Shi-chan, your big sister bought you lots of fun things!"

With everyone present, the house became incredibly lively.

Nangong Nayue was also dragged along by Hoshino Ai to stay and have dinner together.

After quickly finishing his meal, Luo Bai took the packed lunch and used the travel device to travel to the world of Uma Musume Girls.

Emerging from the portal, Luo Bai discovered that he was in the same location as Mi Yu's training ground, indicating that Zhen Tu Huo Jin had specifically located it.

And Mi Yu's joyful voice came over at just the right time.

"elder brother!"

Volume 1: Chapter 425 A Three-Part Discussion (1/2)

Wearing sportswear, Mi Yu jogged up to Luo Bai and looked at her happily.

Luo Bai glanced at Mi Yu's running shoes, which were covered in mud, and chuckled as he patted her head: "You've been training all day, haven't you?"

Mi Yu squinted her eyes happily and nodded, "Yes, but today's training is over, and I was just resting."

Luo Bai glanced at the sky and realized it was indeed time for dinner.

Taking the bento box out of his bracelet, Luo Bai said, "Shall we eat here?"

"Uh-huh!"

Then, Luo Bai and Mi Yu sat down on a bench next to the training field.

Holding the lunchbox Luo Bai handed her, Mi Yu opened the lid with anticipation, and a rich aroma wafted out, making her stomach, which wasn't particularly hungry at first, rumble loudly.

Although she was very shy, Mi Yu couldn't help but swallow her saliva as she looked at the bento box, which was full of various dishes.

Because Mi Yu is a horse girl, the meals Luo Bai prepared mainly consisted of carrots, which Mi Yu likes, in addition to the usual meat dishes.

Dishes like braised chicken with carrots and carrot and egg rolls are visually appealing and delicious.

After handing the chopsticks to Mi Yu, Luo Bai took out a thermos containing soup, opened it, and ladled out a small bowl.

"Have some soup first."

He took the rice bath, placed it in a small bowl, and drank it in small sips.

The chicken soup made Mi Yu's eyes squint with happiness.

"It's delicious!"

After drinking a small bowl of soup, Mi Yu's appetite was whetted, and she picked up her chopsticks and started eating her bento.

Seeing Mi Yu eating so happily, Luo Bai also smiled.

The happiest thing for a chef is when the food they cook makes people happy.

Although Luo Bai was quite confident in his cooking skills, he was still a horse racer, and he was a little worried that his cooking might not suit her taste.

Now it seems I was worrying too much.

After eating a piece of stewed chicken that was very tender, Mi Yu looked at Luo Bai and asked, "Did you eat before coming here, brother?"

"Yes, I came right after I finished eating. Luckily, I didn't keep you waiting too long."

Mi Yu smiled and shook her head: "It's okay. When I came to training after lunch, I brought some biscuits and energy drinks, so I won't be too hungry. It's just right to eat now."

"Did you remember to drink the Chinese medicine I prepared for you?"

"Yes, I drank it after lunch, and it made me feel much better. My physical fitness also recovered faster after training."

Speaking of the Chinese medicine she was taking, Mi Yu was very surprised by its effects, saying that it really improved her training results and reduced her physical fatigue.

"As long as it works."

A dozen minutes later, Mi Yu, who was eating in small bites, also finished off the bento box that Luo Bai had prepared.

After closing the lunchbox, Mi Yu said with a satisfied look, "It's delicious!"

"As long as it tastes good, I'll make it for you again tomorrow. But tomorrow, your Yukino-neechan will be cooking, and I'll help out. Don't worry, your Yukino-neechan is a very good cook too."

Hearing this, Mi Yu swallowed expectantly.

"Really? That's great! Then we should definitely add more rice baths."

Oil training is necessary!

After eating and resting for a while, Mi Yu left the training ground and went back to her dormitory, while Luo Bai also returned to his own world.

When they arrived home, Nangong Nayue had already finished her tea and gone home, while Hoshino Ai was still staying there. She didn't have work the next day, so she planned to stay overnight and return to Tokyo with Haruno the next day.

Upon seeing Luo Bai return, Xia Shi and Tina immediately rushed over, each grabbing one of Luo Bai's hands.

"Brother, let's play games!"

Unable to resist the two little girls, Luo Bai had no choice but to agree and play Mario Kart with them.

At this moment, Yukino also sat down with her phone and said to Luo Bai, "Shiyu just called. She was planning to come over, but the editor from Jump called and said that there will be a large-scale promotion for Demon Slayer in December. To balance the subsequent anime plans, she had to go to Eriri to discuss cooperating with the promotion."

Luo Bai nodded, holding the controller, and said, "It seems to be progressing well, but if we're going to coordinate with the publicity, doesn't that mean Shiyu and Eriri will both be stepping into the spotlight?"

Yukino smiled and nodded: "With the development of the internet, it's become increasingly difficult for manga and light novel authors to completely avoid appearing in front of readers these days. Utaha is already mentally prepared. She told me on the phone that if she gets really annoyed by the harassment, she'll just stop going to school for now. Anyway, with her grades, she can study on her own without any problems."

Luo Bai wasn't too surprised. Just like Yukino said, in this internet age, it's practically impossible for someone with a bit of fame to not show their face, except for virtual streamers.

With Shiyu ranking first in her grade, not going to school wouldn't be a big problem.

"By the way, Shiyu said she's going to watch Miyu's match on Friday too."

"Sure, we were going to go together anyway. Since Shiyu has time, let's go together."

"Eri also wants to go. When Utaha called, Eriri was right next to her. She's quite curious about Uma Musume too."

"Eriri... alright, let's do it together then. Anyway, her family knows a lot about these things, right? Oh, Tina, you attacked me while I was talking!"

On television, Luo Bai, who was controlling the giant king, was knocked to the ground by Tina, who came from behind, with a red tortoise shell, thus losing his first place.

Tina, with a smug look on her face, said, "This is called 'all's fair in war,' and it was you who taught me that, brother."

"...You really know how to put what you've learned to practical use."

......

After resting at home for a night, Luo Bai and Xue Nai had to go back to school.

It's November now, and we've entered the second half of the semester. The school is already preparing something for the second-year high school students to do.

That is, to have a three-way conversation based on the college application forms submitted by the students.

So during the morning class meeting, Hiratsuka Shizuka brought up this matter directly.

"You have a week to prepare. From next Monday to Friday, everyone must bring their parents to the school to discuss your further education arrangements. I will send out the tentative schedule at noon. After you go home, discuss it with your family. If there are any problems, tell me tomorrow and we will make adjustments immediately."

Once this was announced, many students in the class began to whisper among themselves, distressed.

Previously, I didn't feel anything, but now, students are feeling the pressure to varying degrees.

Volume 1: Chapter 426 Match Day (2/2)

At noon, the Service Department.

While everyone was eating, Luo Bai looked at Kirishima Touka and asked about the three-way talks.

Has Heizuka-sensei spoken about this?

Touka Kirishima nodded: "Yes, I did. I also took Hiratsuka-sensei's advice and called Mr. Mado. Unexpectedly, after hearing about this, Mr. Mado decided to come over in person and act as my guardian."

Luo Bai smiled and said, "That's quite in line with his style. It seems he values ​​you a lot. That's good, this matter can be resolved well. You probably want to go to university, right?"

"Yes, I want to go to university!"

"Then study hard. With your intelligence, getting into a good university shouldn't be difficult. Besides, the coffee shop business is good right now, and with your salary in the action team, you can easily afford the tuition."

Although she has only been a student at the school for a short time, Touka Kirishima has already demonstrated outstanding learning abilities and excels in all subjects.

Yui Yuigahama asked curiously, "Touka, where are you planning to go to university? Are you going to Tokyo University like Raku and the others?"

Touka Kirishima shook her head: "Because of my status, it's not easy for me to get into the University of Tokyo. As long as my academic performance doesn't cause any problems later on, I'll probably apply to Chiba University."

Yukino commented, "Chiba University is also very good."

The Holy Emperor, who also came to have lunch with us today, couldn't help but think about his future career path after graduating from high school.

Which university should I go to...?

After lunch, everyone gradually returned to the classroom.
