My fiancée Yukino

"No problem, it's settled then. I'll check the time tomorrow night and send you a message!" After finalizing the weekend arrangements, Rin smiled at the Holy Emperor, "With you helping out at the orphanage all this time, it seems you really can be a good mother in the future!"

The Holy Emperor's face flushed slightly, and he waved his hand, saying, "No, that's not true. I wasn't much of a help either. Raising children is much more complicated."

“That’s true, it’s quite complicated.” Rin agreed. “The little ones in our family, whether it’s Xia Shi and Tina, or the Last Order and Philon we took in later, are all very well-behaved and don’t require much care. But after watching so many videos and posts about unruly kids online, I’m starting to worry about raising children in the future.”

Hearing the conversation between the two, the girls who had just gone back to their seats gathered around again.

"What? Rin is already thinking about becoming a mother in the future?"

"Amazing!"

So who is her boyfriend?

Throughout the entire day, Rin faced the girls' gossipy questions during every break between classes.

Sakura was much better in comparison. She didn't show it as obviously as Rin; she just quietly attended class.

After school in the afternoon, Rin and Sakura went to participate in club activities as usual. They really enjoyed the activities of the craft club and made a lot of friends there.

Luo Bai left school earlier today, drove to the station, picked up his parents who had just returned from Izu, as well as Last Order and Philon.

Because it was Thursday, Luo's parents simply took the two girls out to play during the day and didn't return by car until the afternoon.

Upon picking up the four, Luo Bai noticed that Last Order's skin was noticeably darker than before the trip, and said with a smile, "You little rascal, did you forget to put on sunscreen?"

Luo's mother said from the side, "He was having too much fun. He applied it in the morning but forgot about it in the afternoon. But it's okay, he's only a little bit dark. He's just a kid. He'll be back to his original color after staying home for a couple of days."

Last Order, completely unconcerned, put her hands on her hips and confidently said, "Hmph, this is a healthy skin tone, you know. Misaka Misaka heard all the older ladies on the beach say that!"

While that statement isn't entirely wrong, the final product's skin tone was only slightly darker, which is quite different from the bronze skin of the older women at the beach.

Luo Bai didn't expose him, and opened the car door with a smile, saying, "Alright, get in the car quickly, a sumptuous dinner has been prepared for you at home."

"Wow!!! A feast!"

Philon came to Luo Bai's side, tugged at his clothes and said, "Brother, I feel that my magic power has increased again."

"Really? Philon is working so hard." Luo Bai smiled and patted Philon's head, looking at her as he said, "How about we go to the base this weekend to test the power of your magic?"

Upon hearing this, Philon's eyes widened, and he nodded repeatedly with anticipation.

"Then get in the car and let's go home first."

After everyone got in the car, Luo Bai drove back home.

When I got home, Yukino and the others were there too, while Hoshino Ai had gone to STARRY to watch the Bond Band rehearse for their performance at the end of June.

Mashu, Gudako, Rin, and Sakura are still engaged in club activities and won't be back until later.

Upon entering the house, Last Order was immediately struck by the sight of Misaka 10031 and 10032 dressed in maid outfits, and her eyes widened in surprise.

These past two days, because I went out to play, Last Order specifically blocked communication within the Misaka Network to avoid being questioned by the other Misaka Sisters, so I don't know much about the specific situation at home.

"Misaka doesn't quite understand, why are you all working as maids too?"

Helping Mrs. Luo bring in the suitcase, Misaka 10031 looked at Last Order and said, "Based on two days of analysis, Misaka has determined that when I wear a maid outfit, the frequency with which my brother looks at me increases by 10% to 15%. This will greatly enhance my presence in my brother's heart, and it's an excellent strategy."

"Oh! Is that even possible?"

Therefore, the final work also looked towards Luo Bai.

"Big brother, Misaka Misaka wants to wear a maid outfit too!"

"Go upstairs to take a shower."

Volume 1: Chapter 766 Control of Magic (2/2)

As evening fell, Gudako and the others who had participated in club activities returned.

Luo's parents also learned about Luo Bai, Rin, Sakura, and Eriri in Tokyo after they returned. So when Rin and Sakura came back, they immediately chatted with them happily, making the two girls very shy.

Even more, Luo's mother took out two jade bracelets and put them on the two girls' wrists.

After watching his mother take the bracelet out of her storage bracelet, Luo Bai asked curiously, "Mom, you haven't been saving these all this time, have you?"

"Of course." Looking at her son, Mrs. Luo, holding Rin's hand with her left and Sakura's with her right, said confidently, "I've figured you out now, so I've prepared quite a lot of these things. Not just for the two of them, but Artoria and the others also have some, and I've given them all. And here's one more, it's for Eriri. I'm going to check on the company in Tokyo tomorrow, so I'm going to pick it up."

"I've given it to you."

"That's possible, but how much stock do you have left?"

As he spoke, Luo Bai pointed to Misaka 10031 and 10032, who had somehow come over and were staring at him with wide, longing eyes.

When Luo's mother saw this, she nodded helplessly at the two girls' heads, but said nothing.

After dinner, even though Luo's mother had been full of energy, she felt a little tired after relaxing at home. She sat in the living room for a while before going upstairs to rest, and Luo's father followed her upstairs.

In the living room, Luo Bai accompanied Philon, explaining to her parts of the basic magic book that she couldn't understand.

While explaining, Luo Bai also gave Philon a simple demonstration of some of the methods of manipulating magic.

Rin watched Luo Bai's actions and said enviously, "Luo-jun's control over magic is really amazing. Even though I have been working hard to practice magic recently, I still can't reach this level."

Luo Bai smiled and said, "Start from the basics. Don't think about reaching the sky in one step. Start with a small amount of energy and achieve sufficiently precise control. Then gradually release the magical power. Given time, you can all reach this level. Of course, there is another prerequisite, which is not to lose confidence. This book talks about a very important point, which is also the foundation of magic. That is, magic is a world of imagination. If you can't imagine it, it means you can't achieve it."

As he spoke, Luo Bai manipulated the magical transformation device, about the size of a ping-pong ball, in his hand, eventually turning it into a semi-transparent magical cat. Just like a real cat, it raised its paws and washed its face, attracting the attention of several cats that were playing nearby, who stared wide-eyed at the scene.

After the demonstration, Luo Bai withdrew his magic and said to Rin, Sakura, and Gudako who had just walked over, "Just like the Reality Marble in your world, it's a magic that materializes mental landscapes. Materializing one's imagination into a world—the magic power isn't even the most important thing; the power of belief is the key."

In the Fate universe, Shirou Emiya's magical power is not particularly outstanding. Even with Archer's involvement, it still demonstrates the unique nature of his Reality Marble.

Imagination, understanding, and construction are far more important than so-called magical power.

"The total amount of magic power can be accumulated over time, but the imagination in the mind of a magician or sorcerer, and their belief in their own magical abilities, are even more important."

As Luo Bai recounted the story, Philon blinked and condensed a small ball of magic between his hands. Then, under everyone's watchful eyes, the magic slowly transformed into a goldfish, swaying its large tail.

Luo Bai smiled with satisfaction, patted Philon's head and praised, "Philon is really amazing, he understood so quickly."

Medea also praised, "Indeed outstanding. It seems I need to raise my evaluation of Philon's talent by one level. Such talent would place him among the top tier in any era."

"Imagine...imagine..."

Seeing this, Gudako tried to imitate her, but no matter how she twisted and turned the magic in her hand, she couldn't change its shape, and in the end, it completely dissipated.

"so hard!"

Seeing Gudako's dejected expression, Luo Bai chuckled and said, "With your impetuous nature, you're not cut out for this. Try a different approach, go for a powerful, brick-throwing attack spell. Although it's a basic attack spell, its destructive and penetrating power is outstanding. Master this spell, then increase your magical power. You might not be able to defeat strong opponents, but you can definitely wipe out large groups of weaklings. Only the truly powerful ones will be dealt with by Mash."

Gudako didn't insist, nodding and saying, "It seems that's true. This kind of delicate work isn't suitable for me."

After saying that, he ran off to continue playing the game.

As for Rin and Sakura, they began to think for themselves after witnessing Felen's rapid progress.

Picking up the suddenly improved Philon and placing her on his lap, Luo Bai looked at her and said, "Alright, that's enough for today. For the next two days, focus on practicing your control over magic, and combine that with regular meditation. On Saturday, I'll take you to the base to play and test your current magical power."

Although Philon is still young, he has made rapid progress under his and Medea's tutelage.

She has mastered basic attack magic, but she still needs to improve the range of her magic. Luo Bai has also set a training direction for her in this regard.

As for defensive magic, it is relatively more difficult and requires practical training. It is too early for Philon to learn it now, so it should be put on hold for later.

Feilin nodded happily, and then was pulled away by Xia Shi and the other girls.

Xia Shi and Tina weren't particularly talented in magic, so they were very interested in the magical control that Philen had just demonstrated. They curiously surrounded Philen, asking her to demonstrate, and even stopped playing their game.

Then, Luo Bai looked at Ilya, who had been silent and focused on the handheld console.

"Ilya, you're sure you'll be alright, right?"

"Hmph, isn't that obvious? I am Ilyasfil von Einzbern!"

With a triumphant tilt of her head, Ilya raised a finger, and a surge of magic quickly emerged, transforming into a silver-white bird.

"To control a familiar, one needs precise control over magical power, so Illya is quite skilled in this area!"

Luo Bai smiled and clapped, it was clear that Ilya hadn't let her guard down these past few days.

After all, Ilya had been saying that she wanted to go back and teach those old men from the Einzbern family a lesson.

Volume 1: Chapter 767 The Long-Awaited Bond Band (1/2)

Nighttime, inside the room.

Mi Yu leaned against Luo Bai's chest, a happy smile on her face, and whispered, "Brother, the Dream Cup is starting next month."

Luo Bai stroked Mi Yu's smooth long hair and said with a smile, "You guys are in great shape right now. If you keep up your training, you'll definitely be fine."

On the other side, Oguri Hat confidently said, "That's right, I feel that I'm stronger now than in the last competition. Although it's a bit unfair to the other horse girls, my only opponent this time is Miyu."

"Ugh?"

Mi Yu was surprised that Oguri Hat would say that, and looked at Mi Yu in astonishment.

Oguri, his eyes gleaming with fighting spirit, said, "Let's put aside what happens in bed. On the field, we've never really decided who won, have we? This Dream Cup should be our last chance. After that, I plan to retire."

Hearing Xiao Limao's explanation, Mi Yu's face first turned red, and then her expression became serious.

"Okay, Mi Yu understands. Mi Yu will do her best!"

Oguri is considered a veteran in the Uma Musume fandom; if her injuries hadn't been healed, she would have basically retired by now.

Oguri Hat himself never expected to return to his peak form, or even become stronger.

However, having won all the awards she could, and with her own strength growing stronger, unless other racehorse girls also learn their training methods, Oguri Hat will not encounter any rivals in the short term, except for Miyu.

So after careful consideration, Oguri has decided to retire, and this Dream Cup will be his last match.

Luo Bai kissed the little chestnut hat's forehead.

Looking at her, he asked, "What are your plans after you retire? You'll probably graduate from Treson College again, right?"

Oguri tilted her head and pondered, "Yes, I am graduating soon. Ma Niang, who graduated from Treson Academy, can get excellent recommendations whether she wants to go to university or pursue other jobs. As for me, I want to go to university; I'm not in a hurry to find a job."

Luo Bai smiled and nodded: "Yes, there's really no need to rush. It would be good to experience university life. Have you decided which university to go to? You might not know anyone there to go with."

"I'm also considering this. Anyway, we still have plenty of time, so I can take my time to think about it."

As a horse girl, Oguri Hat's grades in humanities subjects are not particularly outstanding; they can only be described as slightly above average.

If you go to university for further studies, you don't need to worry about interpersonal relationships. Oguri is a real superstar there.

However, academic studies might be a bit difficult at first.

Holding the little chestnut hat in his arms, Luo Bai said with a smile, "After the Dream Cup ends, I'll help you figure out which university to go to, and we can also learn about the courses and majors there to see which ones are more suitable for you."

Little Chestnut Hat nodded happily: "Thank you, Trainer, let's begin round two!"

"You really have a lot of energy."

"I'm a racehorse girl!"

..........

On Friday afternoon, after school, Luo Bai let Yukino and the others go first, while he went to Tokyo to pick up Mai, Utaha, and Eriri. Only then did he return to Chiba and arrive at STARRY.

As soon as she arrived, Hongxia, dressed in the store's maid outfit, happily ran over.

"Senior, it's been so long since you've been here!"

Luo Bai chuckled and patted Hongxia's head, saying, "I was quite busy, but I came as soon as I had some free time today. But Hongxia, why are you wearing a maid outfit?"

"Hehe, it's my older sister's idea, and it's not just me!"

As she spoke, Hongxia pointed to the shop.

Sure enough, it wasn't just her; Little Lonely, Kita, and Ryo had all changed into identical black and white maid outfits and were cleaning the shop.

Kita and Ryo were used to it and didn't show much expression, but Kotori looked awkward and couldn't get used to it at all.

Linking arms with Luo Bai, Eriri looked at Xiao Gudu with a sullen expression and said, "Xiao Gudu usually wears that pink tracksuit, so it's hard to tell, but now that she's changed into a maid outfit, she actually has such a great figure?"

From the side, Xiao Gudu's curve is simply unmatched among her peers. Neither Xiao Ai nor Kanao can compete with her. Only Sakura can rival her.

Moreover, because Xiao Gudu doesn't exercise much and stays at home all year round, his skin is much whiter than the average person's.

On the other side, Shiyu agreed, saying, "That's right. It's just that this girl is too socially awkward, and her bangs are a bit long. If she trimmed her bangs and showed her face, she would definitely be a high-scoring beauty!"

Luo Bai said with a smile, "That's true. Next up is the performance at STARRY. I wonder if she can overcome this. As the lead guitarist of the band, she can't keep her head down the whole time while playing."

Seemingly having heard someone talking about him, Little Lonely, who was wiping the table, raised his head and looked towards Luo Bai.

Upon seeing Luo Bai and the other two smiling and waving at him, Xiao Gudu inevitably became shy and quickly lowered his head to continue working.
