My fiancée Yukino

Luo Bai smiled and said, "There's nothing I can do. You're working so hard, and I can't talk to you much, so I can only watch. Speaking of which, now that your identity as a cartoonist is public, are you adjusting well at school?"

"It's not bad."

Eriri blushed and said while drawing, "Because I don't talk much about manga at school, after some classmates were curious at first, things calmed down, just like Utaha."

Luo Bai nodded: "That's good, it saves me from being constantly asked questions. It seems that your status as a young lady does have some effect."

Eriri also said, "Yeah, thankfully no one asked after that, otherwise I really would have to consider taking a break from school."

While chatting with Luo Bai, Eriri finished drawing the entire chapter of the manga in about twenty minutes.

After checking the details and making some minor modifications to ensure everything was in order, Eriri packaged the electronic version and sent it to her editor.

"It's done!"

Eriri happily raised her hands, glanced at the sleeping Utaha, and then looked at Luo Bai, saying, "That guy is still sleeping, play games with me for a while!"

"Sure, what do you want to play?"

Street Fighter!

Eriri excitedly took out two hitboxes, handed one to Luo Bai, and said, "I made plans to play games with Mordred tonight. I lost to her before, but I'm determined to win this time!"

"Okay, then I'll practice with you."

Eriri's computer and gaming equipment are top-of-the-line, making the game incredibly enjoyable.

After playing a few rounds, Luo Bai was about to try out a new character, Akuma, when he suddenly sensed a subtle energy fluctuation.

Looking east, Luo Bai asked, "Eri, who lives in the house to the right of yours?"

"Hmm? On the right?"

Eriri blinked, thought for a moment, and then said, "It was a business, but Mom said that because their business grew so much in the last two years, they moved to a bigger villa and moved away. The current house is vacant and for sale. How..."

"Did you?"

Luo Bai nodded and said, "Yes, it seems that some evil things are growing in that house. It's fine now, but if it's not dealt with in ten days or half a month, it might develop into something like an evil spirit. How about we go take a look? Since we're here, let's take care of it while we're at it, so it won't bother you later."

Eriri nodded happily: "Of course I'll go! I've never actually seen something like this before!"

He then turned off the game and pulled Luo Bai outside.

When they came downstairs, Sawamura Sayuri, who was drinking tea and reading a book, saw the two of them come down and asked curiously, "What's going on?"

Then Eriri talked about what happened next door.

"Mom, do you want to come with us to take a look?"

Sawamura Sayuri glanced at her daughter, then at Eriri, and shook her head with a smile, saying, "I won't go. You two go on your own. With Luo-kun here, I don't need to worry about your safety, Eriri. However, Eriri, please don't wander off. Listen to Luo-kun's instructions, okay?"

"I know, I'm really good, Mom, you always underestimate me!"

After refuting her statement, Eriri went out with Luo Bai.

After watching the two leave, Sayuri Sawamura picked up her black tea, took a sip, and said with a smile, "Silly daughter, I've created this opportunity for you to be alone. Make the most of it."

After leaving the Sawamura residence, Luo Bai and Eriri arrived at the villa next door.

Looking at the locked front gate of the villa, Luo Bai raised his hand, and the lock unlocked with a click.

"Okay, let's go in."

"Huh? It's solved already?"

Eriri followed Luo Bai, curiously watching the iron gate that was pushed open.

"What's so special about that? It's just a simple lock-picking spell. It's not very effective against electronic locks, but it's quite easy to open ordinary locks like this. Oh wait, electronic locks can also be opened with abilities, right? Should we try it sometime?"

Although Luo Bai himself hadn't tried it, considering Misaka Mikoto's abilities, it seemed he could imitate how to use it.

Thinking this, Luo Bai crossed the front yard of the villa, opened the gate in the same way, and led Eriri into the villa.

As soon as she entered, Eriri noticed that the temperature was a bit off. She touched her arm and snuggled up to Luo Bai, looking around curiously and saying, "It's a bit cold, and the lighting is strange too, even though there are so many windows."

"You're quite observant. It's indeed due to a special energy field that the temperature and light in the room have changed, but it's not to the point that it can affect a person's body. Look over there, they're already starting to emerge."

Following the direction Luo Bai pointed, Eriri indeed saw several dark, unidentified objects slowly moving along the ground in the corner of the living room. They looked a bit like slimes, but Eriri was certain that these things were more terrifying than slimes.

She shrank behind Luo Bai, grabbing his clothes with both hands, leaving only half her head showing. Eriri observed her and asked, "How do we solve this?"

"It's nothing special. It can't even condense into a body that resembles an evil spirit. There's nothing to be afraid of."

Feeling the warmth of Eriri's body pressed against him from behind, and her faint fragrance, Luo Bai raised his hand and pointed at the several dark objects, and a bolt of lightning burst forth.

In an instant, lightning flashed, accompanied by a series of shrill screams, and all the dark matter vanished.

After that, the temperature in the room immediately rose, and the sunlight streamed in through the window.

"It looks disgusting, but I didn't expect it to be so weak."

Hearing Eriri's words, Luo Bai looked at her helplessly and said, "You've been practicing magic for nothing. With your current mental strength, you can clearly sense the strength of those things. It seems you still lack training. Should I take you to some places with evil spirits to try exorcising them? With your current magic power, plus the few attack spells you've learned, it should be more than enough."

Volume 1: Chapter 726 Eriri's Thoughts After Being Discovered (2/2)

Although Luo Bai's suggestion posed no danger whatsoever, Eriri still shook her head repeatedly.

"No, no, no, I don't want to do any exorcism work. Drawing comics is more suitable for me!"

Looking at Eriri's constantly swinging twin tails, Luo Bai said with a smile, "You're such a coward. You were watching horror movies with everyone when you came here to play."

"Movies and reality are different. Movies are fake, so of course I'm not afraid of them, but reality is real!"

No, you were clearly scared when you watched horror movies, you were both scared and you loved watching them.

"What should we do if an emergency occurs?"

“Uh…” Eriri paused for a moment, then stuck out her tongue at Luo Bai and said, “Why don’t we just ask you for help?”

"You really have some ideas."

Smiling and shaking his head, Luo Bai said, "Let's go. Now that things are settled here, let's go back."

"Uh-huh!"

Eriri happily followed Luo Bai out of the villa and then went back.

After arriving home, the two briefly explained the situation next door, and then Eriri pulled Luo Bai back upstairs to continue playing games.

Inside the room, Shiyu was still asleep, and not even an hour had passed.

Looking at Shiyu's sleeping posture, Eriri whispered, "This girl is really sleeping soundly."

Luo Bai sat down on the cushion and said, "After all, she's been busy with the new book these past two days and is quite tired, so let her sleep a little longer."

"Then let's keep playing games, keep playing games!"

Eriri skipped over and sat down, stretching her body before saying, "Play two more rounds of Street Fighter with me."

The two played like this until 3 p.m., when Shiyu woke up after a good nap, and that was when the game ended.

After Shi Yu finished washing up, Luo Bai took her leave.

Watching Luo Bai's car drive away, Sawamura Sayuri looked at Eriri beside her, sighed, and said, "So, you two spent the whole afternoon playing games?"

"if not?"

Eriri looked at her mother with her innocent, big eyes.

"You're already 17 years old, haven't you ever thought about dating or anything? Although Luo Jun has a lot of girls around him, if it's him, Mom won't have any objections, and your dad feels the same way."

Eriri belatedly realized what was happening, her face flushed red as she turned and ran upstairs.

"Mom, what are you saying? I don't have those thoughts!"

Sawamura Sayuri pouted: "This girl, if she didn't think of it, why is she blushing? She's just too shy. Sigh, if this continues, when things get even more progress, who knows how many more people will have to be added to the front."

Meanwhile, in Luo Bai's car.

On the way to the Tokyo branch, Shiyu, sitting in the passenger seat, looked at Luo Bai and asked, "While I was taking a nap, you and Eriri were playing games the whole time?"

“Yes,” Luo Bai nodded. “I went to the empty house next to hers at noon to resolve a minor paranormal event and prevent the birth of an evil spirit. As for the other events, I’ve been playing games.”

After hearing this, Shiyu laughed and said, "I knew it. As expected of Eriri, even with such a good opportunity, she couldn't use it."

"kindness?"

Luo Bai raised an eyebrow and glanced at it.

Shiyu asked, "You mean?"

"It's just like you think." Shiyu took her phone out of her bag, found a video and opened it. "This is from when I came to her house last time. After I finished my work, Eriri was so tired that she took a nap. I originally wanted to record a prank video, but I ended up recording her talking in her sleep and calling out to Luo Jun."

The next second, the video showed Eriri calling Luo Bai's name in a daze, along with Eriri's silly laughter.

Although Luo Bai knew that Eriri had a high opinion of him, given Eriri's proud and shy personality, and the fact that they didn't come to see each other often, things probably wouldn't progress that quickly.

But who knew that Eriri would talk in her sleep, and that Utaha would record it?

After the video finished playing, Shi Yu said, "Do you understand now? What do you think Luo Jun is planning to do?"

"What can I do? I'll just have to take it slow. There are so many people in my family, I definitely have to take care of them first."

It would be wonderful to win the affection of a beautiful girl, but Luo Bai's principle is to treat everyone equally. He must first take care of his family before dealing with Eriri's affairs.

Moreover, Luo Bai felt that his current level of affection with Eriri was not high enough, and he needed to find more opportunities to spend time together.

Shi Yu understood Luo Bai's thoughts and nodded in satisfaction.

After picking up Yukino, Last Order, and Misaka 9982 at the branch office, everyone went back to Nagatsuki's company and returned to Chiba with Ai Hoshino and the others.

After arriving in Chiba, Luo Bai took Hongxia and the others home, while Yukino and the others went home first.

After returning home, Shiyu took her phone and sat down on the sofa in the living room, then started chatting with Eriri, who was playing games at home.

The first thing I did was send over the video I had recorded earlier, which set the tone for Eriri's ranked matches.

After hastily exiting the game, Eriri carefully watched the video Utaha had sent her on her phone, and said in disbelief, "How could this be? I definitely don't talk in my sleep. Wait, will Luo-kun see this video? Knowing Utaha Kasumigaoka's personality, she would never hide it herself!"

Thinking of this, Eriri immediately began asking questions.

You didn't show it to anyone else, did you?

Looking at the message from Eriri, Utaha narrowed her eyes and replied with a smile.

Don't worry, it was only shown to Luo Jun, no one else has seen it~~

"That's worse than what everyone else saw!!!"

After yelling, Eriri collapsed onto the floor, looking distressed. "What am I going to do? I've been found out! I didn't want to be found out so soon. I haven't even figured out what to do..."

Before Eriri could figure out how to reply, Utaha sent another message.

"So, Eriri, do you need my help? With your tsundere personality, making any progress will be a huge waste of time. Besides, putting everything else aside, those ten thousand Misaka Sisters are a formidable enemy for you, not to mention Nijika and the other three, who are also close to Raku. Oh, and there's Rin and Sakura, those two sisters."

As each name was mentioned, Eriri felt even more pressured.

"Ugh, why is that guy meeting more and more pretty girls?! And over ten thousand Misaka Sisters, that's just too unfair!"

After writhing on the floor for a while, Eriri finally picked up her phone again and replied to Utaha.

Volume 1: Chapter 727 Signing the Contract (1/2)

On Sunday, Luo Bai took Shi Yu and Hoshino Ai out, picked up the Nijika sisters, and then set off for Tokyo.

The other three girls in the band drove over with their families, so Luo Bai didn't need to pick them up.

Sitting in the back seat of the car, Hongxia said happily, "We signed! We signed! I didn't expect that Xiaogudu and Xijia would agree so easily!"

Luo Bai smiled and said, "After all, it's Xiao Ai's company. As friends, they had already done some research beforehand, and even their families knew quite a bit about it. Otherwise, they definitely wouldn't have agreed so quickly. After all, the entertainment industry is quite chaotic. Xiao Ai's company is considered to have top-notch treatment in the industry. The main reason is that Gong Na Yue is there. She doesn't indulge others in the industry, and no one dares to mess with her. As a result, the company has become quite special in the industry. Moreover, she has a very discerning eye; not just anyone can be her target."

Ichi Hoshika looked at her younger sister and said, "Your talents are good, but you will also receive more attention and greater pressure after joining. Be prepared."

Hongxia waved her little fist and said, "Of course, I'll do my best!"

They were the first to arrive after the company came to Tokyo.

After waiting for ten minutes, the other three companies arrived one after another.

Aside from the Kita family and the Goto family, this was the first time Luo Bai had met Yamada Ryo's parents.

Liang's family runs a private hospital, making him the wealthiest of the four band members. However, he spends money like water, with the vast majority of his monthly allowance going towards his bass guitar and various equipment, leaving him constantly broke.

After getting to know each other, Nangong Nayue didn't waste any time and directly took out a contract for the band, explaining its contents and the subsequent development of the band, which showed how much she valued it.
