My fiancée Yukino

After finishing dinner, today's activities came to an end, and Luo Bai led everyone back to their own world.

Back home, Luo Bai looked at Hoshino Ai and said, "Let's rest here for the night and go to Tokyo tomorrow. The concert is only a few days away, so everything should be ready, right?"

Hoshino Ai nodded happily: "Yes, everything is almost ready. Now, my daily tasks are just to go on stage to rehearse the program, practice my singing, and prepare what I want to say to the fans!"

Mi Yu then said, "Brother, Senior Xiao Li Mao and I are also going back tomorrow. We've been out playing for several days, and it's time to train properly. We'll come back for Xiao Ai's concert."

Luo Bai smiled and patted Mi Yu's head: "Okay, then I'll go to school with you guys tomorrow."

Ai Hoshino's concert is on January 10th, there are still five days left, so there's no need to rush.

Hiratsuka Shizuka rested there, had a cup of tea, and then said goodbye and left. She also planned to go to Hoshino Ai's concert later.

The 10th was also the last activity for everyone before the end of winter break.

After Hiratsuka Shizuka left, Luo Bai called home. His parents knew that they were going to another world that day.

After receiving Luo Bai's video call, Luo's mother quickly answered and asked her son on the screen, "Xiao Bai, did something happen to you?"

Luo Bai smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, Mom, they're just some flying cabbages. Just be a little careful."

After saying that, she had Shinobu bring over a cabbage that had just been stored away and showed it to Mrs. Raku.

Looking at this round, emerald-green cabbage, Luo's mother, who often buys groceries and cooks for herself, immediately recognized that the cabbage was of very good quality.

"It looks delicious! Have you tried it yet?"

On the other side, Hoshino Ai nodded happily: "I ate it. I tried it at the guild before. It's very crisp and sweet!"

Luo Bai also said, "We'll keep some and bring them back for the New Year. You'll know once you try them."

Including the monster frogs, Luo Bai also planned to hunt some more before returning home. There were too many of those to catch, and by the time they returned, it wouldn't be time for the monster frogs to hide.

Well, I hope I won't scare my parents.

Volume 1: Chapter 481 Horse Racing Girls Project Announced (1/2)

After resting at home for one night, Ai Hoshino set off for Tokyo to continue preparing for her upcoming Budokan concert.

After having breakfast, Luo Bai, along with Mi Yu, Oguri Hat, and Kocho Shinobu, headed to Treson.

Utaha also went back to Tokyo because of the novel. She had to go to the publishing house and then talk to Eriri about the manga.

After everyone had a busy day, on January 6th, at the end of the New Year holiday, a special multimedia project was announced online.

Horse Girls.

A large-scale multimedia project that combines mobile games, animation, comics, live voice actor concerts, radio, merchandise, and other projects.

This project anthropomorphizes famous racehorses from horse racing history, specifically by giving them a feminine twist.

The moment this project was announced, it attracted a lot of attention online.

Many horse racing enthusiasts were puzzled after discovering the information about horse racing copyrights on the official website. How did this newly established company acquire such comprehensive horse racing copyrights? They have basically acquired copyrights for horse racing from ancient times to well-known races in recent years.

Furthermore, the game's promotional video has already revealed information on approximately thirty Uma Musume girls, each with their own voice actors.

Moreover, the voice actors chosen were mostly well-known or distinctive voice actors, showing that they really spared no expense.

In addition to the mobile game, the anime also released its first PV. The protagonist of the anime is Special Zhou, who is also a very famous racehorse. The main visual also features racehorses that are basically known to everyone in the horse racing world, such as Yamato Akashi, Golden Ship, Silent Suzuka, and Tokai Teio.

For horse racing fans, this is truly unprecedented; they never imagined that even horse racing would start to be anthropomorphized.

But upon closer reflection, this isn't too surprising in Japan. After all, even cockroaches have anthropomorphic forms, so having an extra racehorse isn't a big deal.

As for those who love games and animation, they are very interested.

These days, anthropomorphic projects do exist; they appear every now and then, like Kemono Friends, which was popular for a while but then flopped.

However, horse racing, with its real history, undoubtedly draws a lot of attention to how it is adapted.

Moreover, the production company is a newly emerged company with no prior indication of its existence.

Many netizens, through the PV, realized that this company seems to have a lot of capital. Whether it is 3D or 2D, they are top-notch, their motion capture is also excellent, and they even have 3D stage performances.

Furthermore, the anime has been officially announced to be released in April, which means we'll soon be able to see exactly how this project is going.

The mobile game will be launched in June, which is quite fast.

As for the various merchandise items for the Uma Musume Pretty Derby project, they are already in the planning stages and will be released immediately after the anime airs.

The radio and manga projects that have not yet been announced are related spin-offs and will also be announced after the anime airs.

Even a day after the announcement of the Uma Musume Pretty Derby project, it remained the main topic of discussion on various ACG websites and forums, with all sorts of people continuing to engage in discussions.

These are things that Luo Bai and his team, the planners, are happy to see.

After finishing their training, Mi Yu and Oguri Hat returned to the villa and saw the released animation PV.

Looking at the character in the anime, whose appearance was slightly different from her own, Mi Yu blushed and said, "Ugh...even though there are differences, it's still so embarrassing..."

Oguri Hat didn't have many thoughts on this, nodding and saying, "It's alright, I don't have any main storyline, being a big eater is fine. But Mi Yu, you did have a competition with Miura Bourbon and Mejiro McQueen in the second season."

"Season 2..."

Mi Yu shuddered and looked at Luo Bai, "Brother, when will season two air?"

Luo Bai smiled and said, "The first season will air in April, and the second season is expected to air in October. We will use the time in between to arrange various games and concerts."

"That's way too fast..."

Mi Yu covered her face, unable to imagine how she would feel when she saw scenes involving herself.

how.

Luo Bai patted Mi Yu's head and looked at her, saying, "Alright, at worst, we can change the plot when we make the second season."

Although it will change the history of horse racing, it is still not as important as rice bathing for Luo Bai.

Hearing Luo Bai say that, Mi Yu quickly shook her head and said, "No need, these are very important for the project and can't be changed casually. Um, brother, don't worry about Mi Yu, Mi Yu will take the time to adjust them. Ugh... at worst, Mi Yu will just ignore these things and focus on training."

Oguri Hat also said, "There's really no need to worry about it. And Mi Yu's personality is something that needs to be improved. He shouldn't let external things affect him too much. Although he becomes very serious and focused during the competition, who knows what might happen if he encounters some unexpected situations, such as hearing his trainer cheering him on up close."

After hearing what Xiao Li Mao said, Mi Yu really felt that she might be affected, and immediately clenched her little fist and said, "That's right, Mi Yu must improve!"

At that moment, the kitchen door opened, and Yukino looked at Miyu and Oguri Hat, who were still in the living room, and said, "We can talk about improvements later. Dinner will be served in less than half an hour. You just finished training, so go take a shower first."

The two then realized they hadn't showered since returning home, so they eagerly watched the anime's PV and immediately ran upstairs.

Twenty minutes later, the two, having finished showering and changed into thick pajamas, came downstairs after drying their hair, just in time for dinner to begin.

Looking at the large table of delicious food as always, Oguri Hat couldn't help but swallow, and then hurriedly went to help Yukino serve the food.

She can't help with cooking, but she can still lend a hand in other areas.

"I'm gonna start now!"

After eating for a while, Little Chestnut Hat looked at everyone and said, "Next month, Treson's Big Thanksgiving Festival will begin. Does everyone want to come and play then?"

This big Thanksgiving Festival in Treisen is somewhat like a school festival, but it's more about thanking the fans who have always supported Treisen's horse racing girls. Treisen will be open to the public, allowing fans to come and have fun and participate in various activities.

As soon as they heard there was something to do, the little girls immediately agreed.

Luo Bai nodded and said, "Yes, let's all go together then."

Volume 2: Chapter 482 Before the Concert (1/2)

The days flew by, and finally, the day arrived for Ai Hoshino's first solo concert.

On the 10th, everyone got up early, got ready, and set off for Tokyo.

Hoshino Ai also went to the Budokan early in the morning for her final rehearsal and preparations, so Luo Bai and the others did not disturb her. They spent the day taking a stroll around Tokyo.

After having lunch at a barbecue restaurant, everyone came to the martial arts hall together.

With their identification tags, everyone easily made their way to the stage and saw Hoshino Ai, wearing a thick coat and going through the motions on stage.

When Hoshino Ai saw everyone coming, she stopped rehearsing and excitedly ran over, jumping off the stage and throwing herself into Luo Bai's arms.

As for the staff around them, they are all company personnel and staff sent from the Tokyo base, so there is no need to worry about them being known by outsiders.

Holding Hoshino Ai in his arms, Luo Bai said with a smile, "Have you not been eating well these past few days? You seem to have lost some weight."

Ai Hoshino stuck out her tongue: "Well, there's nothing I can do. I have to prepare for the concert every day, with all sorts of rehearsals. Even though I eat a lot, I still lose weight. But thankfully, after this concert, the next thing is the new album, so I won't be so busy anymore. Also, I'm going to start my next academic year, so I need to slow down a bit. Going to school is also very important to me!"

Luo Bai nodded: "That's right, we can't afford to fall behind, but for now, let's focus on preparing for the concert."

At this moment, Nangong Nayue also walked over and said to the two of them, "Alright, put Xiao Ai down first. The process isn't finished yet. You can talk again in twenty minutes."

Hoshino Ai, her face puffed out, got off Luo Bai in a huff and obediently returned to the stage to continue the routine.

Luo Bai and the others also sat down in the audience below the stage and waited leisurely.

Hiratsuka Shizuka looked at Hoshino Ai on the stage and chuckled, "This is the first time I've ever been to a concert, and I never expected it to be Hoshino Ai. Besides, she's going to be a student at Soubu High School in April."

Luo Bai leaned back comfortably in his chair and said, "So, Ms. Hiratsuka, do you want to be her homeroom teacher for the new semester?"

"Haha, let's forget about it. Although academics are the priority, I know this girl will definitely ask for leave from time to time, so there's no need for her to be a homeroom teacher."

Hiratsuka Shizuka is right; Hoshino Ai and Mai are different.

As an actress, Mai has already accumulated a lot of popularity and has several well-known works. Now she just needs to take some time to mature and make occasional appearances.

Moreover, actors have a longer career span, and Mai is confident that she can play a variety of different roles at different ages.

For Hoshino Ai, who is a singer, especially now that she has just gone solo from a girl group, the coming year is particularly important.

Even if both academic pursuits are valued equally, at most both should be balanced.

Otherwise, missing out on such a crucial year for development, and if some other rising popular singer emerges later and steals all her attention, it would be a huge loss.

So, Hoshino Ai was under a lot of pressure in the year that followed.

Nangong Nayue knew all this, and if it were someone else, she might have been more worried.

But Hoshino Ai has Luo Bai by her side. Luo Bai can be said to be her greatest support. With Luo Bai by her side, Hoshino Ai will definitely be fine.

The only thing that bothered Nangong Nayue was that Luo Bai was too much of a womanizer.

Fifteen minutes later, the concert program was over, and it was time for a break. Hoshino Ai immediately ran happily over to everyone and hugged Luo Bai's arm.

Hoshino Ai leaned happily on Luo Bai's shoulder and said, "Brother Luo Bai, enjoy my performance today!"

Luo Bai smiled and said, "Okay, good luck!"

"Oh, right!" Hoshino Ai suddenly remembered something and said with great interest, "Are there any Uma Musume Pretty Derby projects that haven't been voiced yet? I'd like to be a voice actress and sing too!"

Seeing that Hoshino Ai was very interested in playing Uma Musume Pretty Derby, Luo Bai thought for a moment and said, "As for the later roles, there are indeed quite a few that haven't been decided yet. Most of them are characters that will be released in the second season of the anime and the mobile game. Let me think, how about Machigane Shigeki or Satomi Hikari? Or, you could just voice Miyu."

"Oh! This is good!"

Ai Hoshino really doesn't know much about other Uma Musume Girls, such as Shikamaru Machigane and Hikari Satomi, who hasn't even debuted yet and is still a young girl.

But as for Mi Yu, she was very familiar with her; sometimes they even slept in the same bed.

When it comes to understanding rice baths, no voice actress can compare to her.

So Mi Yu raised her hand without hesitation, deciding to be Mi Yu's voice actress, while also looking at her big boss, Nangong Nayue.

Nagami Nagatsuki for Uma Musume Pretty Derby

The planner was also very confident, nodding and saying, "You can definitely participate; it will increase your exposure. But before that, you need to brush up on your voice acting knowledge and basics. And you can't slack off on your main job as a singer or your studies, understand?"

"Know it!"

After Nagatsuki Nanami agreed, Ai Hoshino also looked at Miyu.

"How about it, Mi Yu? Is it alright if I do the voice acting for your character?"

Mi Yu breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "Okay, then I'll leave it to Xiao Ai."

Compared to other voice actors, Hoshino Ai definitely made Mi Yu feel more at ease, at least she was someone she knew.

But then I thought to myself, if my image in the anime is paired with Ai Hoshino's voice, wouldn't that be even worse?

Yang Nai also looked over with great interest: "Tsk tsk, I didn't expect there to be such a way to play?"

Then she looked at her younger sister beside her and whispered, "How about we swap clothes sometime? I'll grow my hair long, and Xiaobai will definitely be dazzled by it."

"..."

Yukino glanced at her older sister speechlessly, knowing perfectly well what she was talking about.

"Forget it, I'm not that bored, and it's not that easy to fake my figure."
