My fiancée Yukino

This girl's performance was even worse than hers. She had seen it when she was sitting in the back seat; the other girl's hands were shaking when she put them on the steering wheel.

Holding chopsticks in one hand, Eriri said angrily, "Hmph, senpai just said it himself, this is only the first day, you just wait and see this afternoon!"

That's what she said, but after practicing all morning, Eriri herself was still a little unsure of herself.

Looking at Mai beside her, Eriri asked curiously, "Mai-senpai, how did you study back then? Weren't you nervous?"

"I'm not nervous," Mai said with a smile, shaking her head. "It's just learning to drive, what's there to be nervous about? Besides, we're learning at the base, so even if you step on the gas..."

"If you floor the accelerator and the car flies off, the instructor next to you can still brake in time; this is a training vehicle, after all."

Unfortunately, these words did nothing to help Eriri, who could only eat lunch in a depressed mood and prepare for the afternoon's practice.

In the afternoon, Utaha and Eriri's practice was indeed a little better than in the morning, but only a little.

Compared to Mai and Shinobu Kocho, who were learning to drive before, there is still a significant gap.

Since driving lessons are held over the weekend, they won't just be on Saturday; Sunday is also a day for lessons.

After finishing practice at 3:30 pm, everyone went home.

Although it was just sitting and learning to drive, Shiho and Eriri were so tired when they got back that they collapsed onto the sofa, not wanting to move at all.

Turning to Luo Bai, Shi Yu said, "Luo Jun, could you massage my back? When I was practicing driving, I was too scared to move while sitting in the driver's seat..."

Luo Bai smiled and said, "Sure, but let's not do it here. Let's go upstairs to your room and I'll give you a massage. You'll be more comfortable lying in bed."

“Okay~~~”

Propelling herself to sit up, Shiyu looked at Eriri, who was still lying down, and asked, "Eriri, do you want Luo-jun to massage you too?"

Eriri paused for a moment before saying, "I don't need to, I'll just lie down for a while."

Shiyu smiled and squinted her eyes, then took out her wand and gently tapped it on Eriri.

"Ugh?"

Seeing her body float up from the sofa, Eriri's eyes widened, and she turned to look at Utaha, who was holding a magic wand.

"Kasumigaoka Utaha! What are you going to do?"

"I'm doing this for your own good. Your body looks so stiff, and you don't exercise at all. You really need to relax. Come with me!"

With that, he guided Eriri upstairs.

Luo Bai smiled and followed Shi Yu's steps.

Upon arriving at her room upstairs, Shiho placed Eriri on a chair, then leaped onto the bed and lay down.

"Luo Jun, please help me~~"

Luo Bai rolled up his sleeves and said, "No problem, watch me. I'm a professional in this area. Eriri, wait a moment, I'll give you a massage too."

After saying that, he placed his hand on Shiyu's waist and began to slowly apply pressure to the acupoints.

"Woo~~"

The precise pressure from her fingertips caused Shi Yu to whimper, and her legs, encased in black stockings, tensed, revealing her current feelings.

As Luo Bai moved, Shi Yu's shouts rose and fell.

Whether Shiyu did it on purpose or not, the more she listened to the voice, the more strange it sounded, making Eriri, who was sitting next to her, blush furiously.

Five minutes later, Eriri finally couldn't hold back any longer and said, "Can you please tone down your voice a bit?"

Turning her head, Shiyu looked at Eriri with a flushed face and said, "I didn't expect it to be so sore! It hurts a little, but it feels really good. Ah! Yes, yes, yes, put a little more pressure here!"

Not to mention Eriri, even Luo Bai was a little overwhelmed and said helplessly, "Alright, alright, tell me to tone it down. I haven't been using much force. Okay, that's enough. Your body is still in good shape, not that tired. Now stand up and move around a bit."

Luo Bai gently patted Shi Yu's pert bottom to help her up, then looked at Eriri.

"Come on, lie down here, I'll help you relax."

Eriri wanted to refuse, but before she could speak, Shiho grabbed her and pushed her onto the bed.

"Ah? Ah, ah, ah?"

Her mind went blank, and then Eriri felt a pair of large hands placed on her shoulders.

With a gentle press, Luo Bai said as if he had expected it: "As expected, Eriri, you've been sitting and drawing all this time. It looks like you haven't practiced your breathing techniques in a long time, right? Your body is very stiff, and your muscles are quite fatigued."

After saying that, he pressed his fingers against the acupoints on Eriri's shoulder to help relieve her muscle fatigue.

However, for someone like Eriri with stiff muscles, the feeling of receiving a professional massage for the first time is something those who know, understand.

"what!!!!!!"

The screams came directly from the slightly ajar door, and everyone downstairs heard them.

Yang Nai, who was looking at documents on her laptop, looked up at the direction of the stairs and said in surprise, "You're already having so much fun as soon as you got back? Eriri is really carefree."

Mai, standing to the side, smiled helplessly and said, "It's obviously impossible. She probably got hurt from the massage. Not exercising and sitting for long periods of time drawing will cause this. Eriri is too lazy and doesn't exercise enough."

Shinobu Kocho brewed some tea and came over, saying with certainty, "That's right, that's exactly it. I noticed it during lunch too. I was thinking of coming over to give Eriri a simple treatment, but I didn't expect Utaha to have Raku-kun do it."

Hoshino Ai asked curiously, "Does it really hurt that much?"

Shinobu explained, "It's mainly because Eriri is lazy and doesn't exercise. Ai, on the other hand, always practices dancing and stretches her body regularly, so naturally she wouldn't be like this. Wait a bit, you'll see when Eriri comes down."

Half an hour later, the three of them came downstairs.

Luo Bai and Shi Yu had normal expressions, while Eriri looked like she thought, "I'll never get married."

Volume 1: Chapter 543 Arrival at STARRY (1/2)

Covering her flushed face, Eriri sat down on the sofa under everyone's gaze.

"I can't get married..."

Shiyu, standing to the side, said speechlessly, "Is it really that serious? Did you touch anything you shouldn't touch? It was just a normal massage."

Yang Nai looked at Luo Bai curiously: "Xiao Bai, if you didn't touch her inappropriately, then why would she do this?"

Luo Bai shrugged and said, "She was shy, what else could it be? At first, her muscles were so stiff that she cried out in pain when I pressed her, but she didn't react so dramatically later."

Utaha retorted, "No, the reaction that followed was the real exaggeration. I can only say that as expected of Kashiwagi Eri, who personally draws doujinshi and has played many galgames, her talent in voice acting seems to be quite high as well."

"Ugh, I didn't mean to make that sound either!"

Eriri retorted loudly and then collapsed onto the sofa, too ashamed to look at anyone.

Shinobu Kocho said softly, stroking her chin, "Although I don't know exactly what the sound is, I have a general idea."

I heard so many noises at night.

Yukino and the others nodded thoughtfully.

Seeing Eriri's ashamed and indignant expression, Luo Bai clapped his hands and said, "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. If we keep going, Eriri will really be too ashamed to face anyone. I'll go prepare dinner. Just tell me what you want to eat."

After thinking for a moment, everyone packed the dishes they wanted to eat.

After mentioning sweet and sour pork ribs, Shiyu nudged Eriri, who was still sprawled on the sofa.

"Aren't you getting up? If you don't get up soon, there won't be any for you. Tell me what you want to eat."

After a few seconds of silence, Eriri sat up, her face still flushed, and said, "Cola chicken wings..."

Luo Bai smiled and exchanged a glance with Eriri; the girl's head was starting to smoke again.

Shaking his head, Luo Bai said:

"Okay, I've written down all the dishes. I'm going to the kitchen now. Yukino, Shinobu, come help me."

Three people went to cook, while the others chatted in the living room.

Hoshino Ai exclaimed happily, "Are you all really not going to the Livehouse tomorrow?!"

Yang Nai shook her head and said, "I'm not going. I'm not interested in livehouses. You guys go have fun. I plan to stay home and relax."

Utaha said, "Eri and I have driving practice tomorrow, so we won't be going."

"Practicing driving... What was I thinking back then? Why was I so reckless..."

Eriri leaned back on the sofa, looking sullen. She was starting to regret her decision.

However, seeing Shiwa's unwavering determination, and considering the previous bet, Eriri knew she couldn't give up.

If I really give up, then in the months leading up to the start of summer vacation, I will have no dignity left in front of Kasumigaoka Utaha, and she will definitely nag me for months on end!

Taking a deep breath, Eriri clenched her little fists and said, "I'm going to practice driving tomorrow, and I'm definitely going to improve even more than I did today!"

Hoshino Ai linked arms with Kanao and said, "In that case, tomorrow it'll be me, Luo Bai, Kanao, and Yukino going together! Hehe, I'm getting more and more excited!"

.......

On Sunday, although the livehouse was supposed to be in the afternoon, Hoshino Ai couldn't wait to drag Luo Bai and the others off as soon as they finished lunch.

With no other option, Luo Bai could only drive Hoshino Ai, Yukino, and Kanao to the livehouse.

Looking at the time, Luo Bai said, "It's not even two o'clock yet. Do we really have to go so early?"

Hoshino Ai said happily, "Hehe, let's go chat with the manager of that store. I searched online, and the manager of that STARRY store is a woman, so it should be fine. Let's go, let's go~~"

Sitting in the passenger seat, Yukino smiled and said, "Seeing how excited Ai is, just say yes."

Luo Bai shrugged: "I didn't say I wouldn't agree, so let's go."

After saying that, Luo Bai turned the steering wheel to the right and headed in the direction indicated by the navigation.

Fifteen minutes later, the car arrived at a relatively quiet street, not in the downtown area.

After getting off the bus, Luo Bai looked around and said, "I've never been here much before. Judging from this, the rent should be cheaper."

As for today's destination, the livehouse, it's right on this street.

After glancing at the house number, Hoshino Ai pointed ahead and said, "STARRY, it's right there, hurry, hurry, hurry!"

"Don't rush, there's still plenty of time."

After closing the car door, Luo Bai, along with Yukino and Kanao, followed Hoshino Ai's pace.

It was easy for the four of them to find the location of STARRY. They went down the steps and saw the STARRY sign on the basement level.

"Oh! This is the livehouse! Luckily it's already open, let's go in quickly!"

Hoshino Ai happily pushed open the shop door and went inside.

After another quiet staircase, Hoshino Ai finally saw the entire livehouse: a stage, an audience area, and a bar—very simple and clear.

Meanwhile, at the bar, a beautiful woman with long blonde hair, wearing casual pants and a black long-sleeved T-shirt, sat yawning listlessly.

Upon seeing Luo Bai and his group, she blinked and said, "I've never seen you before. Are you first-time guests? I'm sorry, there's still quite a while before the performance starts. The first show today begins at 4:30 PM."

Because Hoshino Ai was wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses, the other party didn't recognize her. But just by looking at the group of one man and four women, it was clear at first glance that they were all handsome men and beautiful women.

After looking around, Hoshino Ai said happily, "Hello, this is indeed our first time here. How is the band performing today? I'd really like to experience it!"

Upon hearing Hoshino Ai's voice, the female shop manager glanced at her in surprise, feeling that the voice sounded somewhat familiar. However, she still replied immediately, "There are three bands performing today. The first one is a new band, and the other two have performed here several times before. They are considered quite good among amateur bands, so it's worth experiencing the atmosphere. If you just want to feel the atmosphere, I suggest you come during the second show."

Hoshino Ai nodded in realization: "Oh! No need for that, we can just watch all three shows. How do we buy tickets?"

The female shop manager patted her pants, stood up, and said, "You can buy now. Each show will be charged separately. If you watch all three shows, each show will cost 1,500 yen, which is 4,500 yen per person."

Luo Bai nodded; it wasn't too expensive.

Before coming, he had also looked into livehouse performance tickets; popular venues tend to have more expensive tickets.

It seems the quality here is indeed quite good.

Luo Bai took out his wallet, paid readily, and received tickets for the three performances that afternoon.

Volume 1: Chapter 544 Ijichi Nijika, Yamada Ryo (2/2)

Just as Luo Bai was about to ask Hoshino Ai where she was going next, footsteps came from behind.

"Sister! Can we borrow the space to practice?"

The group turned around and saw two girls, one with blue hair and the other with blonde hair, walk in. The blue-haired girl was carrying a musical instrument.

Only after arriving here did Luo Bai finally remember where he was.

Isn't this just like the livehouse in solo rock?

The two girls who came over at this moment were the two female protagonists from the anime, Ijichi Nijika and Yamada Ryo, and the store manager of STARRY was naturally Ijichi Nijika's older sister, Ijichi Seika.
