My fiancée Yukino

"Looks like it's still not working."

While sighing, the three of them came over to Yukino and the others.

Ijichi Seika was also there, chatting with Ai. When she saw Luo Bai and the other two, she pointed to Kita, who was working at the beverage counter, and said, "Just tell Kita what you want to drink, it's free."

After sitting down and ordering a lemon tea, Luo Bai smiled and said, "So generous, is something good happening lately?"

With a smile, Ijichi Hoshika said, "These days, the band has started recording the official versions of several songs, which will be uploaded to music platforms afterward. Although I'm quite happy, I'm also a little nervous, wondering what kind of results we'll achieve."

Luo Bai understood this and nodded, saying, "It's normal. After all, they're a newly debuted band, and apart from Hongxia and Liang, the other two have no band experience at all; they're practically complete novices. However, these aren't problems for the management company. They have plenty of ways to market and promote them. For example, a high school girl band is definitely a viable promotional angle. But initially, they'll probably focus on the songs."

As he spoke, Luo Bai also looked at Hoshino Ai.

Hoshino Ai nodded affirmatively: "That's right, we're not some unprofessional company. For a band, music is the priority, and they definitely have the ability. Just wait and see, when the song comes out, it'll be a huge success!"

Volume 1: Chapter 768 Eriri, who dares not act (2/2)

After spending some time at the SATARRY and watching the band rehearse, Luo Bai took his whole family back home.

Originally, Luo's parents planned to go to Tokyo today, but after learning that Eriri would be coming, they postponed their trip to next Monday.

After arriving home, Luo's mother happily took Yingli's hand and chatted with her.

Although they had known each other for a long time, now that their relationship had changed, Eriri had become even more shy in front of Mrs. Rashar.

But being a young lady of high birth, Eriri recovered after two minutes under the gentle words of her mother, and began telling her about her recent experiences.

After chatting for a while, as expected, just like with Rin and Sakura, Luo's mother took out a jade bracelet and put it on Eriri's wrist.

Then she left Eriri in Luo Bai's care and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner with Sera and the others.

Sitting on the sofa, Eriri stared blankly at the jade bracelet on her wrist, and after a few seconds, she smiled sheepishly.

Hehe, hehehe~~~

Luo Bai chuckled and patted Eriri's twin tails, looking at her and saying, "I've accepted the gift, Eriri, but you can't escape now!"

Eriri's fair face flushed with joy as she looked at Luo Bai and said, "I... I didn't intend to run away either."

Then, she looked at Rin and Sakura, puffing out her cheeks in frustration.

"I wish I lived in Chiba too..."

Understanding the implication in Eriri's words, Rin smiled and sat down next to her, whispering, "Isn't tonight an opportunity? Don't tell me you're not planning to stay overnight."

"Ugh... Let's skip it today, since my aunt and uncle are here too."

Lin looked at her helplessly and said, "What's there to be shy about? Auntie has already approved of you. These things are bound to happen sooner or later. Besides, Luo Jun is going to the base tomorrow, so he won't have much time to spend with you alone. Tonight is indeed a great opportunity! You have to seize this opportunity!"

That's what she said, but Eriri was still hesitant and didn't dare to do it.

Luo Bai smiled and shook his head, saying, "Alright, Rin, stop trying to persuade Eriri. These things should just take their natural course. Tomorrow I'm taking Philon to the base for testing, so I might not have time. How about I take you out on Sunday, Eriri?"

Eriri immediately relaxed and nodded happily:

"Okay, okay, then I'll draw here tomorrow. I still have two pages left to finish!"

Hoshino Ai raised her hand and said, "I recorded the show on Thursday morning, and it will premiere this Sunday at 7:30 pm! Luo Bai, remember to come back on Sunday, we promised to watch it together!"

"Okay, okay, I won't stay out overnight!"

After dinner, Mr. and Mrs. Luo went upstairs to handle some company matters, while the younger people stayed downstairs to hang out.

Philon didn't continue her cultivation this time either, but was pulled by Luo Bai to play games with Xia Shi and the others.

Eriri, on the other hand, was taken upstairs to her room by Mordred, with the plan to stream games together that evening.

While Mordred was setting up her computer, she casually posted a preview of her live stream that evening on her channel, then asked Eriri, who was scrolling through her phone, "So, you really don't plan to do anything about it?"

"Ugh, why are you saying that even Mordred?"

Eriri shyly twisted her body, blushing as she said, "Can you guys really talk about things like this so naturally?"

Mordred calmly replied, "It's just something a few girls talk about at home, what's wrong with that? Besides, we've already done everything we should, so I have even less reason to be shy. And Eriri, you've drawn so many doujinshi, you should be the least shy one, right?"

As she spoke, Mordred opened a hidden folder on her computer and clicked on the cover of a notebook.

"Whoa! Don't open it!!!"

Eriri yelled and rushed to grab the mouse, but Mordred easily subdued her with one hand.

With a light click of the mouse, Mordred looked at the notebook Eriri had drawn in the past and commented, "Isn't the detail in here quite sufficient? Even if you don't understand anything else, you could have won over the Master long ago by following the instructions in this book."

"How can it be so simple!"

"So, you're still too naive, it's too different from your identity as a fan artist." Mordred said after closing the file. "Although this kind of contrast is cute, it doesn't work that well for the Master. After all, he's seen far too many. And Eriri, you need to think this through. Even though you've started dating, you won't have much time alone. Not to mention all the people in your family, Gudako and Mashu are watching you. Oh right, there's also Elaina, who'll probably be back soon. And then, who knows what Medea's situation is? Maybe she'll overtake you one day? As for outside, there are quite a few girls the Master knows."

Mordred's words silenced Eriri, who leaned back in her chair and said dejectedly, "I know, but it seems like it's no use regretting it now, right? If I had acted back then, things would definitely be different."

"It's not too late to know now."

Patting Eriri's head, Mordred said with a smile, "There might not be a chance tonight, but tomorrow night is fine, or Sunday night is also okay. Think about it carefully."

Then, I continued to troubleshoot the computer.

I'm going to play some new games tonight, so I need to get all the settings ready beforehand.

As expected, Eriri didn't sleep well that night. She spent most of the night thinking about these things, and it wasn't until almost 3 a.m. that she finally drifted off to sleep.

When she woke up again, it was already 9:30 a.m. on Saturday.

Eriri opened her eyes, lingered in bed for a moment, and then reached for her phone on the bedside table to check the time before waking up in shock.

"I overslept!!!"

I hurriedly dressed, washed up, and went downstairs, only to find that everyone was already up, but I didn't see Luo Bai anywhere.

Luo's mother, who was in the living room playing with the cat with Xia Shi and Tina, saw Ying Lili come downstairs and said with a smile, "You're up. I saved breakfast for you. I'll go get it for you."

"Oh, no need, no need, Auntie, I can take it myself."

She hurriedly stopped Luo's mother, and embarrassed, Yingli ran to the kitchen and took out a few hot shumai and a bowl of porridge.

Seeing Eriri's embarrassed expression, Mrs. Luo said with a smile, "It's okay. It's normal to sleep in a little longer on the weekend. Look, Shiyu and Ritsuka haven't gotten up yet either."

Eriri then realized why there was so much food warming up in the kitchen.

Volume 1: Chapter 769 Philon's Test (1/2)

While Eriri was having breakfast at home, Luo Bai had already arrived at the base with Philon, Yukino, Artoria, and Ushiwakamaru.

Arriving at the open space behind the base, this area was used to test the members' skills and weapon power. Various testing devices were set up, and a barrier was also set up around it to ensure that the sound would not spread.

Knowing that Luo Bai was going to test Philon's learning progress, Zhen Tu Huojin also followed along out of curiosity.

Looking at the large metal target set up 20 meters away, Luo Bai turned to Philon beside him, who had already taken out his staff, and said, "Adjust your state, calm your emotions, and we can begin once you're ready."

Philon nodded, obediently refraining from immediate action, and instead calmed himself down, beginning to adjust his state of mind.

Two minutes later, Philen opened his eyes, pointed his staff forward, and quickly conjured a magic circle.

Under everyone's astonished gaze, a basic attack spell formed from condensed magic was quickly launched and accurately hit the large target twenty meters away.

"boom!"

After a precise hit, the metal target was pierced through and blasted into the earthen hill behind it, creating a large crater.

Seeing Philen's calm expression as he launched his attack, Makoto Kazumi clapped his hands with a broad smile: "Very good! Philen's control over magic is excellent, and his casting speed is surprisingly fast. Luo-kun, this kid hasn't been training for very long, has he? This is a very impressive talent! In magical duels, the speed of casting is extremely important."

Luo Bai affirmed, "That's right. I could tell when I was practicing with Philon that this child has exceptional talent. Her understanding of magic and control of magical power are both outstanding. Her casting speed is also an unparalleled talent, and her reaction time is also very fast. As for the specifics, there are corresponding testing procedures at the base later, so we can try them out."

Then, Luo Bai patted Philon's head and led her to find another, harder, and farther target to continue testing. This was still far from Philon's limit.

As Zhen Tu Huojin looked at Philen's voice, he exclaimed, "A natural spellcaster, isn't she? At this rate of learning, it won't be long before she becomes one of the world's top mages within twenty years."

Artoria smiled and said, "Medea also said the same thing. She said that even in the Age of Gods, Philon's talent was among the top, and few could surpass her."

"We've really struck gold!"

Zhen Tu Huo Jin was also very happy about the appearance of such a talented child as Philon. "In the past thousands of years, there have been many talented mages, but not many people have had good mentors and good resources to fully develop their talents. Philon has all of these, and his future achievements are limitless."

After testing on three metal targets, Philon's attack magic finally began to falter at the fourth target, seventy meters away.

It dissipates before even reaching its target, causing no damage whatsoever.

Looking at Philon's slightly puffed-up cheeks, Luo Bai placed his hand on her head and said with a smile, "Don't be disappointed. You've already done very well. Keep accumulating experience and you'll continue to get stronger."

Philon felt a little relieved and then looked at Artoria beside him.

Meeting Philon's gaze, Artoria smiled and said, "Philon, do you want to see my strength? Come to think of it, I haven't actually shown it to Philon yet. Medea dealt with those demons before."

After Philon nodded in affirmation, Artoria did not refuse, but she did not materialize her armor; instead, she took out Excalibur.

After analyzing the distance and the strength of the target, Artoria didn't use any special skills. With a simple release of magic, she shattered the target seventy meters away in the blink of an eye.

Putting her sword away, Artoria smiled and said, "I only relied on the burst of magic power. I don't know how much you can see, Philon. Once your magic power grows to a certain level, you can do it too."

Philon's eyes widened. After thinking for a few seconds, he picked up his staff and tried it, but as expected, he failed.

Luo Bai rubbed Philon's head: "Alright, although it's just a release of magic, Artoria's method of using it is different from that of a regular mage. I'll teach you when you get stronger. Don't try to become an expert overnight."

"I'm not fat..."

"Haha, I know, I know, it's just a metaphor, just an analogy." Luo Bai said with a smile, looking at Zhen Tu Huojin. "Let's go, let's take Fei Lun to do some other tests."

Makoto nods: "Let's go, everything is ready."

Back at the base, everyone tested Philon's eyesight, reaction time, and magic concentration speed.

After several tests, Zhen Tu Huojin looked at the report in his hand and exclaimed repeatedly, "Just as we thought at the beginning, Philon is indeed a genius! I haven't seen many novice mages achieve this result in the past few years."

Luo Bai smiled and looked at Philon: "Don't be arrogant or complacent. Keep up the good work, okay?"

Philon nodded vigorously, but the joy in his eyes was still undeniable.

Luo Bai didn't say much. She's just a kid. It's natural for her to be happy when her talent is praised. He'll just let her calm down gradually.

However, since you performed so well today, you should still receive a small reward.

"So, Philon, what reward do you want?"

Philon stood on tiptoe and looked at Luo Bai, saying, "Ice cream!"

"I want to eat ice cream~" Luo Bai glanced at the weather outside and said with a smile, "Okay, let's go eat ice cream this afternoon."

"Uh-huh!"

Philon nodded repeatedly, overjoyed.

Ushiwakamaru raised his hand and asked, "My lord, will it just be the few of us this afternoon?"

After thinking for a moment, Luo Bai said, "Going into the store with too many people isn't really a good idea. Let's just have the few of us. After all, they don't want to go out."

As he spoke, Luo Bai took out his phone and dialed Shi Yu's number.

About thirty seconds later, the call was finally answered, and Shi Yu's groggy voice came through.

"Hello... Luo Jun?"

Upon hearing Shi Yu's voice, Luo Bai understood: "Still not up?"

"Hmm... I stayed up late revising the manuscript last night, it took a lot of time, let me get some more sleep..."

"Okay, then you can continue sleeping, but don't forget to get up and eat lunch."

"Okay, okay~~"

After mumbling a reply, Shi Yu hung up the phone, turned over, and went back to sleep.

After putting down his phone, Luo Bai shrugged at everyone and said, "See? Let's not call anyone else. We'll go back after we finish eating."

Volume 1: Chapter 770 The Room (2/2)

After having lunch at the base, Luo Bai took the four of them out to play.

After wandering around the shopping street for a while, we found a place for afternoon tea and ordered a whole bunch of desserts.

After looking around for a while, Philon chose a deluxe fruit parfait, which was almost as big as Philon's head when it was placed in front of her.

Seeing the light in Philon's eyes, Luo Bai said with a smile, "It's such a big cup, eat slowly, or you'll get a stomachache."

Philon nodded obediently, picked up a spoon, scooped out a piece, put it in his mouth, and squinted his eyes in satisfaction.
