My fiancée Yukino

"You said it yourself, it's quite expensive, but you didn't need me to ask, did you? Anyway, when I buy clothes and things for you, Shiyu, I don't care about the price. The most important thing is that you like them, right?"

Shi Yu smiled contentedly, and as the car stopped at a red light, she leaned close to Luo Bai and kissed him.

"That's a good answer. This lipstick cost nearly 80,000 yen, which is quite expensive for a lipstick, but I really liked the color, so I bought it. Now it seems that I made the right choice, and Yukino and the others also think it looks pretty good."

Luo Bai smiled and said, "You like it?"

"That's good. Nothing is more valuable than what I like; what matters most is that I enjoy it. By the way, you mentioned writing a book at home this morning. How's the new book coming along?"

"It's still a little short. This time I want to write something different, a story similar to a fantasy world, but it's still a bit lacking." Shi Yu tugged at Luo Bai's sleeve and said, "If we have time in a few days, let's go to another world for a trip. I want to collect more material!"

"Sure, let's go during spring break after this semester ends. It's only a little over half a month, but that should be enough."

During the spring break, Luo Bai has nothing to do, and Mai and Xiao Ai are also unemployed. They will spend two days arranging furniture in the villa in Tokyo before heading out to play.

Speaking of which, Luo Bai realized that he hadn't contacted Sato Kazuma in the past few days and didn't know how their adventures were going.

However, now that they've moved into their new home, does that mean Kazuma will soon be going to see that succubus shop?

Tsk tsk, isn't this a bit too early for Kazuma?

Moreover, given Kazuma's living environment and the presence of the goddess Aqua by his side, it wouldn't be so easy for a succubus to create dreams for him.

Hopefully, things won't turn out like in the anime, so Kazuma can have a peaceful dream.

While chatting with Shiyu about collecting materials in another world, the two quickly arrived at the shopping street. After parking the car, they went to their usual milk tea shop and, as always, ordered a large amount of milk tea.

While waiting for the milk tea to be ready, Luo Bai said to Shi Yu, "After buying the milk tea, do you want to go to the antique shop and buy some cakes to take back? We're running out of coffee beans at home."

Shiyu nodded happily: "Sure, but should we give it to Touka... ah, no need, she has everything, and Takumi even sells milk tea herself now."

"Yes, we don't need to bring milk tea. There's a fruit shop over there, so let's buy some fruit and take it with us."

While Shi Yu waited for the milk tea, Luo Bai went over and bought some fruit.

Ten minutes later, the milk tea was ready, and Luo Bai and Shi Yu drove to the antique coffee shop.

As for milk tea, you can simply put it into the bracelet and you won't have to worry about it spilling or getting cold.

Ten minutes later, the car arrived at the antique café.

Because it was Sunday, and the weather had been cold lately, the shop was doing very well. Customers loved to come here in the afternoon to enjoy the warmth, order a cup of rich coffee, and a piece of cake, and slowly spend the afternoon.

As I pushed open the shop door, I saw Kirishima Touka, dressed in a staff uniform, serving coffee to a customer.

"Please enjoy."

After putting away the plates, Kirishima Touka looked towards the shop entrance and saw Luo Bai and Shi Yu. She smiled and happily ran over.

"Why are you here?"

"good afternoon."

Luo Bai smiled and handed over the two large bags of fruit he was carrying, saying, "I came to buy some cakes and brought you some fruit along the way."

"Thank you. You're welcome then."

After receiving the fruit, Kirishima Touka happily led the two to the counter.

Behind the counter, Yoshimura Kozen, who was watching TV, turned around, smiled and nodded at Luo Bai and Shi Yu: "Good afternoon, you two."

Although Yoshimura Kōzen is still not completely released from supervision, he can now come out for two days at a time, but his activities are limited to the vicinity of the base and the antique café.

But for Yoshimura Kozen, this was enough.

As for Yoshimura Eto, she is still living alone in the base's containment cell, but her hostility has lessened considerably, and her state of mind has become more peaceful.

Now, Yoshimura Eto has also lost all his powers and become an ordinary person. According to the assessment, he will be able to gain some freedom by the end of this year.

"Good afternoon, sir."

After sitting down at the counter, Luo Bai smiled and handed over the money, "The usual, five yuan for all kinds of cakes."

"Thank you for your patronage. Touka, please help me pack it up."

Kirishima Touka started packing the cake, while Yoshimura Kozen took a sip of his coffee and said quietly, "I've heard about last night's operation; quite a few people were involved."

Luo Bai nodded: "That's true, but it's not a big deal. Grandpa, you can just enjoy your retirement. Dong Xiang and the others are quite strong now, enough to protect their own little territory."

Yoshimura Kozen also remarked with emotion, "Yes, this kind of life is really great. They all seem very happy and content. Of course, it would be even better if Aite could integrate into this community in the future."

Yoshimura Ete still hopes that her daughter can live an ordinary life.

Of course, this is also a long-term task, and there is still a long way to go.

Soon, the cakes were all packed into boxes, and Luo Bai and Shi Yu didn't linger. They took the cakes and went back.

Volume 1: Chapter 517 Tina's Education (1/2)

On the drive back, Shiyu also took out her phone and made a call to Eriri in Tokyo.

At this moment, Eriri is lazily lying on the beanbag chair in her bedroom, playing a game with a controller.

Hearing her phone ring, Eriri paused her game, picked up her phone, and saw Utaha's name on the caller ID.

Eriri pressed the answer button and put the phone to her ear: "What's wrong? Is something the matter?"

Hearing Eriri's lazy voice coming from the phone, Shiho laughed and said, "Judging from your voice, you're definitely playing games, not working, right?"

"Seriously? I finished drawing all morning, and I have five chapters saved up now, so of course I can relax a bit! Also, what did you call for? You're not trying to supervise me, are you?"

Shi Yu squinted and said, "It's nothing, I just haven't contacted you for the past few days, so I was just asking what you've been up to. You haven't been staying home the whole time, have you?"

Eriri said with a hint of frustration, "There's nothing I can do. I have to study and work, so of course I don't have time to go out! But I did make plans with Mai-senpai tonight. We'll have dinner together after her filming ends, and we'll head out around 5 pm. By the way, are you coming to school tomorrow?"

This semester, there was less attention at school about her and Shiyu's identities, so they came back to school.

Of course, Shiho would still ask for leave from time to time, and she asked for leave much more often than Eriri.

Shiyu shook her head and said, "No, I'm planning to stay in Chiba these next few days to work on my new book. But I'll come back for my final exams. After the exams, I'll be on vacation and I'm going to Axel to gather materials for the new book. Do you want to come with me?"

"Oh! Axel, I want to go! Count me in!"

Eriri quickly made a reservation in advance, including herself, for fear of being forgotten.

There's nothing we can do about it; she usually lives in Tokyo, so it's easy to overlook a lot of things.

"Sure, but you'll have to pass your exam first, otherwise I won't be able to bring you out."

After exchanging a few words with Eriri, Utaha ended the call.

Putting down her phone, Shiyu looked happily at Luo Bai: "It seems that I won't need to discuss manga with Eriri these next few days. I can take a few days off and focus on my novel."

Busy at the same time

This matter is quite stressful for Shiyu, especially since she will be a senior in high school next semester and will have to devote a lot of energy to preparing for university entrance exams. She can't afford to fail at the last minute.

Luo Bai smiled and said, "That's true. Then you can stay home and relax for the next few days."

Soon, the car returned to the villa.

Pushing open the door, Luo Bai saw Mi Yu and Xiao Li Mao, who had just returned from training.

Because it was the weekend, Luo Bai didn't arrange too much training, allowing them time to rest and recover their strength.

Seeing that Mi Yu and Xiao Li Mao had returned, Luo Bai said with a smile, "You're back! Perfect timing. I bought you milk tea and cake too, let's all eat together."

Hoshino Ai said happily, "Ah, is there any cake left?"

Taking the cake box out of her bracelet, Shiyu walked over and said, "Oh right, we stopped by the antique café on the way here and bought it there. It was all freshly made at noon!"

"Yay! There's cake!"

Hoshino Ai happily ran over, grabbed her milk tea, and then picked out a slice of strawberry cream cake.

Everyone else also chose what they wanted to eat; quite a few cakes were bought, so everyone could get what they liked.

Holding their afternoon tea, everyone sat down on the sofa, found a variety show, and chatted while watching it.

After gulping down several mouthfuls of milk tea, Little Chestnut Hat looked at Luo Bai and asked, "Trainer, when is Mai coming back today?"

"After dinner, she's going to have dinner with Eriri after filming today; they've already made plans," Luo Bai asked with a smile. "How was your training today? There shouldn't be many people training at school on the weekend, right?"

Little Chestnut Hat nodded and said, "There aren't many, but Rudolf the Symbol and the East Sea Emperor did come to train today. I asked them, and they are training on their own, but only in the afternoon; they didn't come in the morning."

After listening, Shinobu took out her notebook, glanced at it, and said, "Their treatment is almost over, so it's definitely time to increase their training volume. They'll be two formidable opponents in next year's Dream Cup."

Little Chestnut Hat took a bite of cake with a serious expression, and said confidently, "There are many formidable opponents, but I will not lose!"

Oguri Hat quickly swallowed the taro ball in her mouth, raised her hand and said, "Miyu won't admit defeat either! Miyu will definitely win next year's Dream Cup!"

Then, Mi Yu and Xiao Li Mao stared at each other, and the two, who were usually best friends, were now completely aroused by their competitive spirit.

Luo Bai smiled, raised his hand, patted the heads of the two horse girls, and said to them, "Alright, there's still a lot of time before the Dream Cup. Before that, let's prepare for your respective matches."

Faced with Luo Bai's head pat, both Mi Yu and Xiao Li Mao squinted their eyes in pleasure and nodded in agreement.

Meanwhile, Tina, with her habit of munching on her milk tea, gently nudged Xia Shi beside her and said, "I think you have no hope."

"Shut up!" Tina glared at Xia Shi and puffed out her cheeks. "I'm still young now, I'll have plenty of opportunities later. By the time I grow up, they'll all be old aunties. I saw it online, men's tastes never change, they'll always like 18-year-olds!"

No sooner had she finished speaking than a hand appeared on Tina's head, gently pressing down on her little head.

Tina froze, but after quickly scanning the scene, she knew who was standing behind her.

"Sister Yang No..."

"Oh? You don't call me 'old auntie' anymore, right?"

Gently stroking Tina's head with his right hand, Yang Nai looked at Tina with an ambiguous smile and said, "I have to say, you're getting bolder and bolder. As your parent, I think I still need to teach you a lesson. Now, come with me!"

Then, he picked Tina up, carried her on his shoulder, and headed upstairs.

"Waaaaah! Brother, save me! Yukino-neechan, save me! I don't want to do my homework!!!"

Hearing Tina's words, it was clear that this wasn't the first time such a punishment had been administered. As soon as Yang Nai took action, Tina knew what she was about to face.

As for Luo Bai and Xue Nai...

The two exchanged a glance, then helplessly shrugged at Tina.

Volume 1: Chapter 518 Holiday (2/2)

Tina's words truly made Yukino and the others have absolutely no desire to plead for her.

How dare they say they'll be old aunties in the future?

This girl definitely needs to be taught a lesson.

Even if Yang Nai doesn't make a move, Luo Bai reckons that people like Kocho Shinobu and Utaha would be unable to resist taking action and teaching Tina a lesson.

It's just that Yang Nai and the others have good personalities and wouldn't actually fight, otherwise Tina's butt would have been bruised and battered countless times.

An hour later, Tina always followed Yang Nai downstairs.

When the girl came down, her eyes were red and she was sniffling, clearly she had been crying.

Upon seeing Luo Bai, Tina pouted and ran over to hug him.

"Brother, you don't like Tina anymore, do you?"

Luo Bai helplessly hugged the girl, exchanged a glance with Yang Nai behind him, patted her head and said, "Of course not, it's just that there are some things you can say and some things you can't say, you know? Our Tina is a good girl, she should understand, right? So next, you have one more thing to do, do you know what it is?"

Tina snuggled against Luo Bai's chest, nodded, and then ran over to Yukino and the others, apologizing to each of them one by one.

Watching Tina being tormented in Shiyu's arms, Luo Bai smiled and said to Yang Nai beside him, "How did you torture this girl again?"

Yang Nai puffed out her cheeks slightly as she said, "I didn't torture her. I just increased the difficulty of the problems she had to solve by a few levels, making her do more advanced math problems. As for anything else, I wouldn't dare do that. We cherish this girl, and we really wouldn't hit or scold her."

Upon hearing this, Luo Bai shook his head repeatedly.

Although Tina is very smart, what she learned in the past has little to do with mathematics.

So making her do these questions is indeed very torturous.

After a few minutes, Tina finally won Yukino and the others' forgiveness.

Seeing Tina return, Xia Shi, holding the cat in his arms, whispered, "I've saved your cake for you. Eat it quickly."

Tina nodded, picked up the cake in front of her, and began to eat it in small bites.

Luo Bai sat down on the other side of Tina and gently rubbed her head: "You can't say things like that in the future, okay? Everyone likes you a lot."

After swallowing the cake, Tina nodded and said, "Yes, Tina knows she was wrong and won't say that again."
