My fiancée Yukino

"That's good."

Controlling the cleaver to neatly chop the vegetables, Yukino said, "Now that there are more and more people in the family, should we consider moving to a different house?"

“We already have a villa. If we were to change it again, we’d have to go for a manor. Let’s not change it for now.” Luo Bai shook his head. “After all, we can use spatial magic to expand the living area now, which is enough.”

As he spoke, Luo Bai reminded himself that he needed to restrain himself.

Otherwise, putting aside what Yukino and the others think, there won't be enough room for everyone at home.

Yukino didn't seem to mind, since everyone she knew, from Mai and the others at the beginning to Oguri, Miyu, and Artoria later on, was easy to get along with.

Pulling Luo Bai out from behind her and asking him to help with the cooking, Xue Nai said, "Your aunt and uncle are coming next week. With so many more people in the family, you'd better think about how to explain it to them."

"Don't worry, I know. Anyway, everything's been taken care of, and Mom and Dad can't say anything." Luo Bai said, arranging the steak slices one by one. "Tomorrow I'm taking Xiao Ai to Tokyo for work. Does Yukino want to come along? While she's busy, we can go shopping and have a date in Tokyo, just the two of us."

Yukino smiled slightly upon hearing this.

"Okay, it's settled then."

Ten minutes later, Shiho and Eriri, who had finished their work, came downstairs. Eriri curiously went over to Mordred, who was playing a game, while Shiho went to the kitchen to help prepare the ingredients.

Now, Shiyu has moved beyond the stage where she didn't know how to cook and can now make some simple dishes. With the help of magic, cooking is no longer a troublesome thing for her.

At six o'clock in the evening, everyone had arrived, and dinner officially began.

The banquet-like atmosphere allowed Mordred, the newcomer, to quickly blend in.

The only thing that bothered her was that she had finally defeated the Tree Guardian, only to be ganged up on and killed by several wolves in a cave, wolves that she could have easily taken down one with a single strike.

Seeing Mordred's sullen expression, Artoria swallowed the steak in her mouth and said with a smile, "Still thinking about the game? It's time to eat, don't be distracted."

"I know!"

Mordred glared at Artoria, then awkwardly picked up a piece of braised pork with his chopsticks and popped it into his mouth.

"Mmm! This is delicious, have another piece!"

After a lively dinner, with some time still before picking up Ai and the others from the Goto family, Luo Bai sipped his tea and sent a video call to his parents at home, asking about their flight schedule for Wednesday. He planned to arrange for Artoria and Ushiwakamaru to pick them up.

Artoria now has a driver's license, and with her existing riding skills, picking people up by car is a breeze.

Volume 1: Chapter 677 A Lively Home (1/2)

After finishing a video call with his parents, Luo Bai grabbed his car keys and headed to the Goto family's house.

Upon arrival, Luo Bai called Xiao Ai, and soon the girls and the Goto family came out.

After Ai, Kita Ikuyo, Ichichi Nikka, and Yamada Ryo got into the car, Luo Bai looked at the little lonely girl standing beside the car and asked with a smile, "How was your study today?"

Little Lonely smiled happily: "Yes, I'm very happy, and my studies are going very smoothly."

"That's good. Xiao Ai told me that everyone is planning to go to Tokyo together tomorrow. Get some rest early tonight, and I'll come pick you up around 8:30."

After speaking, Luo Bai looked at the little girl who had somehow appeared beside Xiao Gudu.

"You must be Ichiri's younger sister?"

The little girl smiled and nodded: "Hello, big brother, I'm Goto Jiri."

The names of Goto's two daughters are quite interesting; they could be translated as Ichiri, Niri, or even Du and Ou.

Reaching out, Luo Bai patted the little girl's head. He then opened his hand, and suddenly a candy appeared in his palm, making the little girl's eyes light up.

"Wow, big brother is so amazing!"

This child is different from his sister; he has a naturally outgoing and cheerful demeanor.

Luo Bai smiled and gave her the candy, then exchanged a few words with the Goto couple before driving away.

On the bus, the girls were talking about the study session that day.

In the passenger seat, Hoshino Ai said happily, "Brother Luo Bai, let me tell you, we finally got Little Lonely to change his clothes today! He's unexpectedly cute!"

Hongxia, sitting behind, chimed in, "That's right, that's right! They have such cute clothes, but they never wear them out!"

Kita Ikuyo said happily, "Moreover, Goto's cuteness level has been further enhanced after her bangs were swept up. It's just that she's too shy. Once her forehead is exposed, she's completely out of sorts, so we can only stop here. Otherwise, I would really like to give her a new hairstyle."

Luo Bai said with a smile, "There's nothing we can do about it. After all, she's extremely socially awkward. We'll take it one step at a time. She's already willing to try other clothes, which is progress. She'll definitely get better in the future. Speaking of clothes, have you designed the outfits for your band yet?"

Hongxia shook her head: "No, everyone came up with some solutions, but none of them were quite suitable."

Ryo Yamada also said, "Your design is too fancy. We're not that kind of exaggerated band. Just be normal."

Kita Ikuyo looked at Luo Bai and asked, "Senior, do you have any suggestions?"

"A suggestion."

Luo Bai recalled the clothes worn by the Bond Band in the original work and said, "Since you don't want anything too flashy, then don't worry about the style of the clothes. Instead, consider your band's logo first. Isn't your name Bond Band? Then just print a bond logo on the custom T-shirts, right? And you can order several different colors for the clothes."

"That's not bad!"

After hearing this, Nijika became very interested and looked at Kita Ikuyo and Yamada Ryo, asking, "What do you think?"

The two nodded in agreement, thinking it was worth a try, and decided to start designing as soon as they got home.

Luo Bai smiled and said, "There's no need to rush with the design. Don't forget we're going to Tokyo tomorrow. Get some rest and recharge today."

The girls were immediately nervous when they learned that they were going to Xiao Ai's company tomorrow and would be interacting with professional musicians and instrument teachers.

After all, they've only formed their own bands so far, and haven't reached a truly professional level yet. It would be very difficult for them to find professional guidance.

Now that Xiao Ai has this opportunity presented itself, even though she's nervous, she can't possibly give it up.

Therefore, the matter of band costumes will have to be put on hold for now.

After sending the three girls home one by one, Luo Bai and Xiao Ai also returned home.

As soon as I entered the house, I saw Artoria, Mordred, Eriri, and Utaha playing games together on four computers at the dining table.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out they were playing Age of Empires, a four-player online battle.

As expected, Artoria and Mordred both chose Britain as their allegiance, Utaha chose Rome, while Eriri chose France instead of Britain.

Sitting down next to Artoria, Luo Bai put his arm around her waist and asked with a smile, "Why are you playing this?"

While controlling her own troops to advance, Artoria replied, "Mordredka reattached Grek to the first main story boss. After playing for a while, she saw me playing this and insisted on playing together, so I brought her along, along with Utaha and Eriri."

Eriri, sitting opposite, looked up and said with a smile, "Hehe, it's really fun playing games with them like this. Hahaha, Mordred, here I come!"

Mordred was startled, seeing Eriri attacking his position, and exclaimed in surprise, "Why do you have so many soldiers?!"

"Hmph, I can only say you're still a newbie, your development speed isn't fast enough. I've already given you plenty of time!"

"Damn it!"

Mordred's impotent rage made Luo Bai laugh silently. Although the girl was facing Eriri's attack, she was still seriously resisting, which showed that she had really fallen in love with the game.

This is actually a good thing; in times of peace, it allows her to find a place to vent her energy.

During the day, Artoria can take her to various sports venues to play, instead of letting her play games all the time.

After playing two games and getting quite frustrated, Mordred decided to give up on Age of Empires. She realized that she really didn't have much talent in strategic command.

Instead, she turned her attention to Street Fighter, asked Luo Bai to bring two hitboxes, and then dragged Luo Bai to play Street Fighter 6.

Compared to real-time strategy games, Mordred was more excited by the visceral, impactful combat of fighting games.

"It's fun, but the screen is a bit too small."

Hearing Mordred say that, Luo Bai nodded and said, "No problem. We have extra computer parts at home. I'll build you a computer in your room later. The screen is 27 inches, which will be just right."

Although he doesn't play games much these days, Luo Bai still keeps an eye on computer hardware. After the new graphics cards came out, he bought quite a few, keeping some for his collection in addition to the ones he's currently using.

"Oh! As expected of my Master, you are so generous. I'm growing to like you more and more!"

Volume 1: Chapter 678 Building a Computer for Xiao Mo (2/2)

After playing games with Mordred for a while, Luo Bai took her to the storage room to get a complete set of computer parts, and then went to her bedroom.

I helped her set up a computer.

Eriri followed along out of curiosity.

Looking at the equipment Luo Bai took out, Eriri said enviously, "That's great! My computer only has a 4070ti graphics card, and yours is a 4090."

As Luo Bai opened the computer case, he said, "The main problem is that the 50-series graphics card I ordered hasn't arrived yet, so I'll just use this for now. Anyway, it's enough. Besides, I only bought two 50-series graphics cards to test them out, and I don't plan to replace them myself. If Eriri wants one, I can give it to you later, but if your power supply isn't enough, you'll have to prepare one yourself."

Eriri knew that Luo Bai was not short of money, so she didn't refuse and accepted it with a smile.

"Thank you then!"

It took half an hour to assemble the computer and install the system. Then, Steam and other commonly used software were installed, and Luo Bai's task was completed.

Stretching, Luo Bai said, "Alright, I'm going to take a shower. Next, Eriri, could you teach Mordred how to use the computer?"

Eriri nodded and said, "Leave it to me!"

After Luo Bai left, Eriri helped Mordred register a Steam account and then generously bought her two games, Elden Ring and Street Fighter.

While the game was downloading, Eriri also explained how to use the browser to Mordred.

"Here, you can usually find what you're looking for by simply entering what you're looking for. For example, I searched for King Arthur."

As Eriri typed in her input and pressed the search button, a series of search results appeared.

Eriri opened the first Wikipedia page and showed it to Mordred, saying, "Look, these are the legends of King Arthur in this world. They will definitely differ a little from Artoria's, but the differences should not be significant."

Mordred looked at it curiously, nodding as he read: "Indeed, although there are some differences in the content, the overall difference is not significant. The development of human technology is truly fascinating!"

After viewing King Arthur's page, Mordred tried searching for her own name, and the results came up.

However, compared to the content of King Arthur, his own content is quite different.

That's normal, since there's no such thing as an age of gods in the legends of this world, and King Arthur was just a legendary king of ordinary humans.

The King Arthur playing the game downstairs right now is the most powerful king at the end of the Age of Gods, incomparable to him.

Twenty minutes later, Luo Bai returned after taking a shower. Mordred had already finished downloading the game and was playing Elden Ring enthusiastically, having started a new save file. Eriri was also giving her advice, and it was clear that the two were getting along very well.

"Did you buy this game for her, Eriri?"

Eriri nodded and said, "Yeah, there's a sale right now, so I bought it for her. You already gave me a graphics card, and you're not short of money, so I might as well give it back to Mordred."

"Then I won't say thank you."

As he spoke, Luo Bai patted Mordred's head. "It's about time you took a shower, Mordred."

"Okay, okay, stop touching my head!"

Mordred shook his head in annoyance, but his eyes remained fixed on the computer screen.

Shrugging, Luo Bai didn't force her to quit the game. Anyway, for heroic spirits, going to bed late is no big deal, and it won't make them nearsighted or anything.

Looking at Eriri, Luo Bai said, "Tomorrow I'm taking Yukino and Ai to Tokyo. Eriri, are you going back?"

"Okay, I'll go back with you tomorrow morning. Please give me a ride."

"It's nothing, you guys keep playing, I'm going downstairs."

Once downstairs, Luo Bai picked up Xia Shi and Tina, who were still playing games, one in each arm, and then tossed them to Yukino and Yang Nao.

"Take them upstairs to take a bath. It's getting late, they can go and rest now."

"Woo!!!"

The two little ones pouted, but under Luo Bai's pressure, they could only obediently follow Yukino and Haruno upstairs to take a bath.

Looking at Gudako and Mashu, the two were playing a dancing game, but one of them was stiff and awkward, while Medusa and Anna, who were playing with them, were much better off.

Clap his hands and Luo Bai said, "Gudako, Mashu, you two have to go for treatment tomorrow, and then you have to go to the new Chaldea base. Get some rest. If you want to play, there will be plenty of time later."

"Okay, okay, let's finish this song!"

Although her limbs were stiff, it didn't stop Gudako from getting really into the game.

A dozen minutes later, everyone packed up, and those who were supposed to go back to their rooms went back. It was time to rest.

At 11 p.m., the lights on the first floor went completely dark.

After taking a shower and returning to his room, Mordred naturally didn't want to rest so early, so he immediately opened the game again.

Just as Mordred was about to save her game, she keenly noticed the door to the next room open.
