My fiancée Yukino

After sitting down to eat, Mai asked curiously, "Ai, did anyone notice you during the exam today? Were you disturbed?"

Hoshino Ai said happily, "Hehe, no, because the school knew I was here to take the exam, so the proctors were the principal and the dean of students. Although many people were curious about me, the exam was more important, and no one bothered me. It went very smoothly!"

"That's good."

After having lunch and resting for a while, the three girls set off again to take their afternoon exams.

Volume 1: Chapter 485 After the Exam (1/2)

In the afternoon, as the exam was nearing its end, Luo Bai drove Yukino, Shinobu Kocho, Hachiman Hikigaya, and Yui Yuigahama to the exam venue.

Besides them, the Hachiman siblings' parents also came.

I won't personally escort them to the exam venue, but I'll definitely have to pick them up when the exam is over.

After a brief chat with the two elders, we all waited together for the exam to end.

Besides them, there were also many parents of the test takers who arrived even earlier, some of whom had been waiting since noon.

Soon, it was four o'clock, and with the ringing of the bell, the exam was finally over.

As the students walked out of the teaching building, Luo Bai quickly spotted Hoshino Ai, Kanao, and Komachi in the crowd.

Now that the exams are over, many of the test takers, who are also fans of Ai Hoshino, excitedly walked beside her.

Fortunately, it didn't cause any major disturbance, so Hoshino Ai didn't try to stop them. She chatted with Kanao and Komachi about the exam while walking towards the school gate.

Upon seeing Luo Bai, Hoshino Ai immediately showed an excited expression and ran over first.

Fortunately, the girl knew there were many people around, and in the end she chose to hug Yukino, who was standing next to Luo Bai.

"I've finished my exams! I felt great!"

Luo Bai smiled and nodded, then looked at Kanao, who had also walked out of the school gate and come here.

"Kanao's test results were fine, right?"

Kanao smiled faintly: "Yes, we can wait for the results."

It seems like he's very confident.

As for Komachi, she was doing similarly, proudly telling her parents that she had done very well on the exam and would definitely get into Soubu High School.

After picking them up, Luo Bai spoke with Hachiman and then drove everyone home.

At the examination site, many reporters who had learned that Hoshino Ai was taking the entrance exam rushed over. Although they all took photos, they also recognized Yukino, who had come to pick up Hoshino Ai.

The relationship between Hoshino Ai and Yukino, as well as Yukino's status as the second young lady of the Yukinoshita family, were all known to these gossip reporters.

Even if some of the reporters are from Tokyo, the strength of the Yukinoshita family should still be carefully considered.

After reporting the news to the editor-in-chief, the reporters had no choice but to follow orders and conduct their reporting in a proper manner.

Given Ai Hoshino's current background and the strength she displayed at this Budokan concert, her rise to prominence was already foreseeable.

Therefore, in order to be able to report more news about Hoshino Ai in the future, these weekly media outlets will not choose to disturb Hoshino Ai too much.

After getting in the car and leaving the school, Hoshino Ai sat in the back seat, looked back in the direction of the school, and said, "Brother Luo Bai, I just noticed a lot of reporters taking pictures. Is that okay?"

Luo Bai smiled and said, "Didn't everyone already know that you were going to take the entrance exam for Zongwu High School? It's inevitable that reporters will come to take pictures, after all, you're so popular right now. What they film is their own business, as long as they don't cause trouble. Don't worry, your company will keep an eye on these media outlets."

Hoshino Ai is the most valued artist in Nagaku Nagaku's company, and she is protected in every way, including media control.

It's fine to report on things normally, as long as you don't report on things that have a bad influence.

As for their romance, Hoshino Ai and Luo Bai always made sure to hide it when they went out shopping. These media reporters are just ordinary people, so they would never find out.

Although Hoshino Ai knew all this, she couldn't help but say, "I hope that when I come to Soubu High School in April, these reporters won't be showing up near the school anymore."

Luo Bai nodded: "Don't worry, I'll have someone notify them so that these people don't disrupt the normal operation of the school. Actually, this arrangement was already made when Mai was in school, but she hasn't been taking on many roles in the past few months. After filming a TV series with you, she only had a cameo role in another TV series and appeared on two TV programs. She hasn't appeared in the public eye at other times, so the reporters have gradually given up on this area."

Yukino continued, "But it's different for Ai-chan. The next year will be your growth period, and you'll definitely be shuttling between school and work. You really need to make some more arrangements for things at school."

Soon, everyone returned home.

Everyone was concerned and asked about Hoshino Ai and Kanao's exam results.

Although the results won't be available for another week, now that everyone knows the two are very confident, they plan to have a small celebration tonight.

However, Hoshino Ai said, "There's no need to be in such a hurry, is there? Mai-nee is going to take the exam in a few days, isn't she? Let's celebrate together when her admission results come out!"

That's right, besides Ai Hoshino and Kanao, Mai is also about to take her university entrance exam. This year's exam is a bit late, scheduled for February, just a few days from now.

Upon hearing Hoshino Ai mention herself, Mai, who was reading a book, smiled and said, "Looks like you're really confident?"

Hoshino Ai put her hands on her hips and said, "Of course, I've been studying hard, and Mai-nee, you've done the same, right?"

Pushing up her glasses, Mai nodded: "Of course, a piece of cake."

Although Mai went out and played with everyone, she didn't fall behind in her studies at all, and she was very confident about passing this exam.

Clapping his hands, Luo Bai stood up and said, "That's true, but even if we don't celebrate now, we still have to have dinner. How about barbecue tonight? The good meat we ordered from the butcher shop was delivered this afternoon."

"I want barbecue!"

Hoshino Ai happily raised her hand, looking quite hungry.

"If you want to eat, come help in the kitchen."

"Oh~~~"

Hoshino Ai called out, but obediently followed Luo Bai to the kitchen to help.

Luo Bai went to prepare dinner, while Yang Nai, clutching a pillow, looked at Mai and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, you'll be going to study at Tokyo University soon. You won't have much time to come back starting in April, so the academic pressure will be quite high."

Mai smiled and said, "No matter how tiring it is, it can't compare to filming, and it's very easy to come back. Although I didn't..."

I have a driver's license, but I can fly back on a broomstick and it'll be just as fast.

Mai had originally planned to learn to drive, but now that she has learned magic and how to fly on a broomstick, she naturally prefers this magical way of traveling.

With all the necessary equipment, temperature and wind pressure won't affect you, and the speed will definitely be much faster than driving on the road, so you can say that you can travel without any obstacles.

Although she hasn't started living that kind of life yet, Mai is already looking forward to it.

Volume 1: Chapter 486 Axel's Crisis (2/2)

In the evening, the barbecue feast began.

Pieces of pork belly and beef were placed on the grill, and everyone chatted happily while grilling the meat.

Luo Bai took out his phone and checked it. He then said to Mai, "I'm going to Tokyo for an exam in a few days. Should we stop by the villa there? I think it's almost finished being renovated."

Luo Bai's parents were in charge of the house in Tokyo, and Luo Bai didn't interfere much; he just decided on a theme for the decoration.

When Luo Bai mentioned this, everyone remembered that they had also bought a new home in Tokyo.

Mai nodded happily: "Okay, let's go take a look together after the exams. After the renovation is done, if I have a lot of schoolwork, I can stay there instead of coming back. And if Haruno and Ai are busy, they can stay there too."

The villa in Tokyo is even bigger than the one they're living in now, and it's quite close to Eriri's villa area. Utaha and Eriri can also work on their collaborative manga project there.

After graduating from high school, Luo Bai and Xue Nai are basically certain that they will take the entrance exam for Tokyo University and will definitely be able to get in. At that time, they will move from the villa here to live in Tokyo.

Of course, even if we move there, we won't abandon this place. After all, Shinobu will still live here regularly, and her sisters will go to school here.

Luo Bai and his group must be running back and forth between the two places, which is very convenient anyway.

While everyone was discussing their new home in Tokyo, Haruno, who was scrolling through her phone, said, "Ah, there's news online that Ai is taking the entrance exam for Soubu High School!"

"Is it is it?"

Everyone gathered around out of curiosity, and then they saw the photo of Hoshino Ai happily running out of school.

Luo Bai also took out his phone and searched for reports from several different media outlets.

The reports were all very similar, and the photos showed only Hoshino Ai from every angle; neither Luo Bai nor Yukino appeared in the photos.

After reading it, Luo Bai nodded in satisfaction. These media outlets were quite sensible; they didn't release the photos they took of other people.

Everyone has now finished reading the report. After reading it, Hoshino Ai logged onto her social media account and saw the comments from her fans under the post she made when she just got home.

Hoshino Ai happily said, "Hehe, my fan count has really increased a lot recently! I can't wait to record a new album!"

Now that the entrance exam is over, there's a high probability that she'll be accepted directly. Hoshino Ai is indeed in a relaxed state right now and really wants to do something.

Mai smiled and said, "It's definitely something to consider. How's the song search going with the company?"

Hoshino Ai nodded: "I've already found a few songs, and the musicians in the company are also helping me create them. I've also collaborated with several well-known musicians in the industry. But Natsuki-nee also said that we should go to the company to discuss these things after my exam results come out. There's no rush now."

Luo Bai put some grilled beef tongue and pork belly on Hoshino Ai's plate and said with a smile, "Then take your time, eat first."

"Uh-huh!"

Hoshino Ai smiled brightly at Luo Bai, picked up a piece of pork belly, dipped it in barbecue sauce, and chewed it with satisfaction.

"good to eat!"

.......

After the entrance exam for Zongwu High School ended, Luo Bai, who had rested for a night, welcomed Sunday.

After getting up and having breakfast, Luo Bai was thinking about what to do today, as he had some free time.

"Hmm, how about we find a game to play?"

I was just thinking of finding a game I hadn't finished playing yet when my phone rang.

Upon picking it up, I discovered it was from He Zhen.

Since Kazuma got the phone that could connect two worlds from Luo Bai, he hasn't contacted her much.

They're calling now, so it must be something urgent.

As soon as the call connected, Kazuma's hurried voice came through.

"Brother Luo Bai, something terrible has happened!"

On the other end of the phone, Kazuma said quickly, "The Demon King's army has appeared in Axel's territory. It's a huge crisis! Brother Luo Bai, can you come and help?"

"The Demon King's army?"

Luo Bai was not surprised at all, since in the original story, Kazuma and the others had encountered the Demon King's army in the early stages.

Luo Bai thought about it carefully, and realized it must be the headless knight.

As for why this happened...

Well, it's also Kazuma's fault, or more accurately, Megumin's fault.

Luo Bai didn't hesitate and said directly, "I understand, I'm coming right now."

After telling the rest of his family, Luo Bai opened a portal and traveled to Axel.

Upon arriving, Luo Bai discovered that the adventurers were no longer at the guild but were already outside the city. So he flew directly into the sky and arrived outside the city.

Under the dim sky, opposite the group of adventurers stood a headless undead knight clad in jet-black armor, his helmet held in his hands.

It was Beldia, the headless knight and a high-ranking officer in the Demon King's army.

Pushing aside the adventurers crowding in front, Luo Bai came to Kazuma's side and looked at Huihui, who had already walked out and was confronting the headless knight, and said, "You plan to have Huihui deal with this headless knight?"

Kazuma wiped the sweat from his forehead and nodded as if he had seen a savior, saying, "Well, the main reason the other party came here is because Megumin goes out to cast an explosion spell every day, and the target she chose just happens to be the castle that the headless knight chose as his base."

Luo Bai suppressed a laugh and looked at the still furious headless knight, saying, "I understand why he's so angry now. If his place is being blown up every day, I wouldn't be able to stand it either. But even if that wasn't the case, the fact that this guy is near Axel means he's probably planning to make a move here. Huihui just stumbled upon this by accident."

Kazuma nodded: "Yes, that's true. After all, the Demon King's army has always been the enemy of mankind. Their appearance here will definitely lead to a battle. However, this guy dared to come alone, so he must be very strong. That's why I called you, Brother Luo Bai."

After listening, Luo Bai stroked his chin, glanced at Huihui who had already unleashed her daily explosion magic and was completely devoid of Jasmine, and at the headless knight who was full of confidence, and said, "This guy does look pretty strong, but when it comes to necromancy, don't you have an invincible counter to him on your side?"

As she spoke, she looked at Aqua, who was still watching the show in a daze.

"Don't forget that Aqua's profession is High Priest. Her purification ability is a natural counter to undead creatures."

Upon hearing Luo Bai's words, He Zhen was also stunned for a moment, then clapped his hands in sudden realization.

"yes!!!"

Volume 1: Chapter 487 The Defeat of the Headless Horseman (1/2)

After receiving Luo Bai's hint, Kazuma finally realized that while other demon king armies might be a bit difficult, the headless knight, an undead creature, was not invincible!
