My fiancée Yukino

And that's not all. The next day, the 3rd, is Yukino's birthday. The two birthdays are only one day apart.

Shiyu's birthday is also on the 31st of this month.

Thinking of this, Luo Bai smiled and looked at the two little girls: "What, are you going to give me a birthday present?"

The two little girls nodded in unison.

Luo Bai then led them inside, holding one in each hand.

"No need for birthday presents or anything, your sister Yang Nai has already prepared one for me, and that present is big enough."

Luo Bai knew that Yang Nai had been choosing a gift for him, which was a car, and it had been delivered to Chiba in mid-December. However, to keep it a secret, she hadn't given it to him yet.

If Xia Shi and Tina hadn't brought it up, Luo Bai would have almost forgotten about it; there were just too many things to do in December.

Upon arriving in the living room, Yang Nai was sitting cross-legged on the sofa, playing games with everyone.

Seeing Luo Bai return, Yang Nai happily said, "Here you go, Xiao Bai. Although there's still one day left, the things are ready, and you can use them directly tomorrow."

After saying that, he tossed a small notebook over.

Luo Bai took it and saw that it was a driver's license with his information and photo printed on it.

"Is it all done?"

While playing the game, Yang Nai said happily, "What's the big deal? It's a very simple matter. Not to mention your background and the fact that you already know how to drive. I just found someone and got it done for you. Nobody will stop you. By the way, Shinobu has almost finished learning to drive, and she's already got her driver's license."

Luo Bai nodded, put away his driver's license, then sat down next to Yang Nai, hugged her, and kissed her.

"So, I'll have to wait until next year to see my car?"

Yang narrowed his eyes and said slyly, "Hehe, the car has arrived. It's parked in the community's public parking space. Want to go take a look? It's only one day late, and I don't think anyone will check your driver's license. You can just drive it out without any problem."

Luo Bai smiled and said, "Really? Then take me to see it. As for driving it out, this world isn't really suitable right now. Let's wait until tomorrow."

Yang Nai had no problem with it. Just as the game ended, he put down the controller and took Luo Bai out the door.

The others, including Yukino and the others who were busy in the kitchen, followed closely behind. They all arrived at the villa's public parking space and saw a large SUV parked there.

Luo Bai couldn't help but widen his eyes upon seeing this.

"It hasn't been on the market for very long, how did you get your hands on it?"

Luo Bai was surprised to find that the new car Yang Nai had gotten for him was a domestically produced Yangwang U8.

Luo Bai had been paying attention to this car, but since he was still in school, he didn't think about buying it right away. However, he was thinking of waiting until he went home for the Chinese New Year to see if he could buy one.

So now, Yang Nai has gotten himself a car?

Yang Nai put her hands on her hips and said smugly, "Hehe, isn't that amazing? I also asked around through family connections before I got it. My aunt and uncle also helped out! Xiaobai likes this birthday present, right?"

Seeing Yang Nai hand over the car keys, Luo Bai took them and said happily, "Yes, I like them very much. Thank you, Yang Nai."

As for the price of the car, Luo Bai didn't mention it, nor was there any need to.

Luo Bai opened the car door, got in, and happily began inspecting the car.

Apart from Yukino, no one else knew about this car, so they were all looking at it with curiosity.

Yang looked at Shinobu, whose face was full of curiosity, and said, "How about it, Shinobu, do you want to get one of these too?"

Shinobu Kocho shook her head. She had already checked the price of the car and said with a smile, "No need. One car like this is enough for the family. I'll buy something else."

Mai, who was standing next to her, also said, "Yeah, this car is nice, but it's a bit too flashy to go out to buy groceries. I'm thinking of buying a more ordinary one; SUVs are too big."

Everyone has plenty of money; the main issue is whether it's a good fit.

The same goes for Haruno herself. Although she has plenty of money and the car is great, Haruno still doesn't really like driving SUVs. Instead, she prefers driving sports cars.

Seeing Luo Bai admiring the car, Yang Nai stroked his chin and then took out his phone to take a few photos.

"Hehe, I just remembered who might like this car model."

After saying that, she sent the photo to Hiratsuka Shizuka, who was at home celebrating the New Year with her family.

Then, less than a minute later, Hiratsuka Shizuka called.

"Where's the car? Did you buy it?"

Yang Nai said with a smile, "Oh right, this is the birthday present I bought for Xiaobai, isn't it nice?"

After a moment of silence, Hiratsuka Shizuka said on the other end of the phone, "You're at the villa, right? I'm coming over now!"

"Ugh?"

Yango originally just wanted to tease Hiratsuka Shizuka, but she didn't expect her to actually come over.

"Xiaojing, are you coming over now? Is everything alright at home?"

"It's alright, we don't have any guests coming today, and the New Year is over. I just told them I'd eat here, so please save me a pair of chopsticks!"

He hung up the phone immediately after saying that, giving Yang Nai no time to refute him.

Seeing the busy signal in her ear, Yang Nai puffed out her cheeks and looked at everyone, saying, "I think I messed up a bit. Xiao Jing is coming over."

Luo Bai then got out of the car and said with a smile, "It's okay, come on over. Hiratsuka-sensei is familiar with all of us, it's fine, it's just a matter of having one more person to eat with."

At this moment, Kazuma and the other three who had gone out to play returned. Seeing everyone here, they curiously walked over.

Kazuma was also very envious after seeing Luo Bai's new car.

Now that I've gone to another world, I can't wait until I'm old enough to get a driver's license and buy a car; at most, I'll just ride in a horse-drawn carriage.

Half an hour later, Hiratsuka Shizuka drove her Aston Martin to Luo Bai's villa, and when she saw the car parked in the front yard, she was immediately captivated.

Volume 1: Chapter 477 Hiratsuka Shizuka's Determination to Buy a Car (1/2)

Pushing open the door, Yang Nai looked at Shizuka, who was standing in front of the car, looking left and right, unwilling to come in. Helplessly, she put her hands on her hips and said, "Shizuka, aren't you cold?"

Turning to look at Hiratsuka, Shizuka pointed at the car and said, "Get me one too, money is no object!"

"..."

Yang Nai's lips twitched, and she looked at the other person helplessly, saying, "Didn't you just buy a Porsche? Won't your family have any objections to spending money like this?"

"It's okay, at worst I'll just sell my BMW and Porsche, then it'll be fine, right?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka was remarkably decisive; aside from her own Aston Martin, she showed absolutely no attachment to the other two cars.

Yang Nai said with a wry smile, "Alright, alright, I understand. We'll talk about this later. Come on in."

Hiratsuka Shizuka finally agreed and followed Haruno into the villa.

Upon entering, Hiratsuka Shizuka noticed several boys and girls she had never seen before, as well as a racehorse girl she had never met before.

She knew Miyu, but she was seeing Oguri Hat sitting next to Miyu for the first time.

After hearing Luo Bai's introduction and learning that the other party was Oguri Hat, Hiratsuka Shizuka was quite surprised.

"Oh! It's Oguri Hat! Oguri Hat from horse racing is super famous!"

Sitting on the sofa, Oguri Hat smiled and said, "Hello, Hiratsuka-sensei. As for fame and such, it's really nothing. There are many amazing Uma Musume contestants. Right now, I'm in a semi-retired state and am actively undergoing treatment to prepare for my comeback."

The balance manager suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. So you've joined Luo Bai's team just like Mi Yu now?"

"

Oguri nodded: "That's right, it really makes me feel very lucky. Otherwise, I would probably have had to retire after participating in next year's Dream Cup. Like many athletes, Uma Musume's career is plagued by injuries and age. The stronger the Uma Musume, the more prone she is to injuries. Compared to those Uma Musume who have already retired due to injuries, I am really very lucky."

After speaking, she looked at Luo Bai with a gentle smile on her face.

Seeing this, Hiratsuka, chin in hand, looked at Oguri Hat, then at Luo Bai, and finally said, "Can you handle this, kid?"

Luo Bai was already used to Hiratsuka Shizuka's outbursts; that was just his homeroom teacher's personality.

Luo Bai shrugged and smiled, saying, "You don't need to worry about that, Hiratsuka-sensei. We're doing quite well. But Hiratsuka-sensei, were you set up on any blind dates by your family when you went home for the New Year?"

"Ugh, can we please stop talking about blind dates?"

Upon hearing this, Hiratsuka Shizuka slumped onto the sofa. "I have a blind date the day after tomorrow, arranged by my parents. I can't refuse, so I have to go. Oh, and I haven't asked yet, who are these people?"

Kazuma and the others hadn't said much since the beginning; they had just been quietly listening to everyone's conversation.

Luo Bai then introduced them: "Sato Kazuma, an adventurer reincarnated into another world. Aqua, a water goddess with a mental disability. Megumin, a chuunibyou magician. Darkness, a masochistic knight. These four are adventurers from another world. Because some monsters appeared in the suburbs of Chiba City, we came into contact with their world. This time, we're here to have some fun."

Luo Bai's series of titles immediately infuriated Aqua and Megumin.

Who are you calling an idiot?!

"I'm not a chuunibyou, I'm the strongest explosion mage of the Crimson Demon Clan!"

As for Darkness...

This guy was called a masochist by Luo Bai, and now he's all red-faced and acting all shy, which is really abnormal.

However, Hiratsuka Shizuka still believed Luo Bai's words and was quite surprised to see these people.

"Wow, there's another world? What's it like? And it even has reincarnation?"

Then, Luo Bai explained it to Hiratsuka Shizuka.

After hearing this, Hiratsuka Shizuka, who used to read various comics and play many games, immediately became interested in the Konosuba world.

"Flying cabbages? Can I come along?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka felt an inexplicable urge to visit that Western fantasy-style otherworld.

Luo Bai smiled and nodded: "Sure, but we don't know exactly when those cabbages will appear. We're not sure if it will coincide with your blind date, Hiratsuka-sensei. If it does, then there's nothing we can do."

"Okay, I got it. If it's not on the same day, remember to call me and count me in!"

After discussing the other world, Hiratsuka Shizuka shifted her focus back to the car outside, pulling Luo Bai and Yang Nai aside to ask about its price and where to buy it.

After understanding the situation, Hiratsuka Shizuka said without hesitation, "Yono, get me one, the price is negotiable!"

"...Really?"

“Of course!” Hiratsuka Shizuka nodded affirmatively. “I originally wanted to buy an SUV, but I hadn’t found a suitable one yet, so I temporarily bought the Porsche that I also wanted. Of course, now that I see one I like, I won’t hesitate!”

At that moment, Kazuma Sato raised his hand and asked cautiously, "Um, are teachers' salaries that high now?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka waved her hand dismissively: "How could that be? My teacher's salary is only enough for my daily food, rent, and such. The rest mainly comes from my savings and dividends from my family's company shares."

Okay, so she's a rich woman after all.

He Zhen finally understood that someone who had such a good relationship with Luo Bai and the others must come from a well-off family.

Over the next period of time, Hiratsuka Shizuka thoroughly researched the car's various detailed specifications online. Then, she had dinner with everyone at Luo Bai's place before heading back.

After Hiratsuka Shizuka left, Kazuma and the others also said goodbye and went back. After being away for so many days, it was time to go back and adjust their condition and warm up before the cabbage season arrived.

Luo Bai had also made an appointment with them, and would go there the day after tomorrow, on the 3rd.

After all, before this big event, Yukino and the others need to register as adventurers and obtain their new jobs.

"Hey? Shall we go too?"

Mi Yu and Xiao Li Mao didn't expect that Luo Bai was going to take them along as well.

Luo Bai smiled and said, "Let's give it a try. What if we gain some improvement in our abilities? It's never a loss, right?"

Yukino agreed, saying, "That's right, it won't waste your time. As long as you can improve, it's the same as training."

Seeing that everyone was saying so, Mi Yu and Xiao Li Mao agreed.

Volume 1: Chapter 478 The First Expeditionary Mission (2/2)

January 3rd is Yukino's birthday, but the birthday celebration was already held on the 2nd along with Luo Bai's birthday.

After all, their birthdays are only one day apart, so there's really no need to celebrate them on separate days.

After the birthday celebration, everyone headed to the world of Konosuba.

When they arrived at the Adventurers' Guild in Axel, Kazuma and his companions were already there.

Compared to their lazy demeanor with Luo Bai, the four of them were clearly in a different state now.

Although they are still novices, they have clearly warmed up and are in the state that an adventurer should be in.

After greeting them, Luo Bai took Yukino and the others to register.

After the last large-scale registration, Luo Bai and his group didn't surprise the other adventurers in the guild this time, and no one started any trouble by opening a betting pool.

As everyone expected, from the first person to the last, everyone who registered received a higher-level profession, either a magic swordsman or an archmage.
