My fiancée Yukino

Especially Xiao Gudu, many people have taken notice of this girl who is usually quiet but has a very strong guitar skill.

After the two of them arrived, Luo Bai waved to them and said, "Let's go, let's go to the shop."

Kita ran over excitedly and asked, "Is it just Yukino-senpai and Ai today? Where are the others?"

"Gudako went to the craft club to hang out. It seems someone made some sweets, so she went over to join in. Apart from some club activities, the daily routine in the craft club isn't much different from ours; it's just drinking tea and chatting."

Kita smiled and said, "I know, there are several young ladies over there!"

After getting in the car, Yukino sat in the passenger seat, while in the back, Kotori was naturally sandwiched between Kita and Ai.

Linking arms with Little Lonely, Xiao Ai said with a smile, "Come over for dinner tonight, and Xi Duo too?"

Kita shook his head and said, "I'm not going. My mom told me to come home for dinner today. She's come up with a new menu."

"Sigh... I see. Well, there's nothing I can do then." Xiao Ai said with some regret, then looked at Xiao Gudu, who was about to speak, and said, "Yili, you must come!"

"Okay, then I'll send a message home."

As she spoke, Xiao Gudu took out her phone and sent a message to her mother at home, saying that she was going to Luo Bai's place for dinner that night and wouldn't be coming home yet.

When Goto's mother, who had just returned home from grocery shopping, received her daughter's message, she smiled and squinted her eyes as she replied to her daughter.

[Will you be back tonight, Yili? If not, please take precautions, okay? You can't have children at this age!]

Both Kita and Ai saw the reply and immediately looked at the blushing Xiao Gudu with gossipy eyes.

Xiao Ai said with a smile, "How about it, do you want to stay overnight? I think Brother Luo Bai would definitely welcome you!"

Hearing Xiao Ai's words while driving, Luo Bai glanced curiously at the rearview mirror and asked, "What are you talking about?"

Xiao Ai held down Xiao Du, who didn't want to talk, and said with a smile, "Yili just sent a message to his family saying he wouldn't be home for dinner tonight, and then Aunt Michiyo replied asking if he was coming home to rest tonight? If not, remember to take precautions!"

Looking at Xiao Gudu, whose face was flushed, through the rearview mirror, Luo Bai shook his head and said, "Aunt Michiyo is just teasing you, Ichiri, there's no need to be so shy."

"Waaah... I know, but Mom's words were way too blunt!"

Yukino, who had been silent, turned to look at Ichiri and said, "I think this is quite understandable. After all, you were so socially awkward before, you didn't dare to communicate with anyone, let alone expect to have a boyfriend. Now that you've seen a change, Aunt Michiyo is naturally very happy and wants to tease you a bit, so don't take it too seriously. By the way, if you want to stay overnight, that's fine too, there are several empty rooms."

"Even Yukino-senpai is saying that..."

Luo Bai smiled and shook his head, then turned right at the intersection ahead.

Amidst laughter and cheerful conversation, everyone arrived at STARRY.

As the popularity of the band Link increased, STARRY's popularity also spread in this area. More and more bands wanted to perform here and were scouted by management companies, officially debuting as professional bands.

However, because STARRY is not open every day, the venue is limited, and the vetting process for Ijichi Hoshika is very strict, the number of bands that can perform here is still quite limited.

Bands that lack skill will not be able to pass the review of Ichiji Hoshika.

She didn't want her hard-earned livehouse to be ruined by these talentless bands.

Seeing Luo Bai and the others arrive, Ijichi Hoshika, who was leaning against the bar and yawning, said, "Since you're here, please sit down for a while. Hongxia and the others haven't arrived yet."

Kita was already very familiar with operating the bar. After coming in and putting on an apron, he personally prepared drinks for everyone.

After taking a sip of the mixed fruit juice prepared by Xiduo, Luo Bai looked at Ichichi Hoshika and said, "Sister Hoshika, how about coming over for dinner tonight? A new batch of monster ingredients has arrived, and Sera said she's researched some new ways to cook them."

"A new dish?" Ijichi Seika couldn't help but swallow.

"Sure, we don't have any business scheduled for today. Let's go together after rehearsal."

Ten minutes later, Hongxia and Liang also arrived.

Upon learning that they would be having dinner at Luo Bai's house that evening, Hong Xia happily jumped to Luo Bai's side.

"Senior, what new dishes are on the menu for tonight?"

Luo Bai smiled and shook his head: "I don't know either. When we get home, go to the kitchen and ask Sera. But for now, we need to focus on training, okay?"

As he spoke, he gently ruffled Hongxia's hair.

Hongxia happily rubbed her face against Luo Bai's palm.

This scene was also witnessed by Ijichi Seika.

Volume 1: Chapter 908 The Song of an Older Single Female Star (2/2)

After preparations were complete, the four band members began practicing.

As the music started playing on stage, Ijichi Seika watched from the bar while chatting quietly with Luo Bai.

"Hongxia really likes you."

"?"

Luo Bai was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Xing Ge, who had a calm expression, and said, "Sister Xing Ge, you figured it out?"

“How could I not see it?” Xingge shook her head. “I saw her expression when she talks to you, and how she was during the cultural festival. There are only two of us sisters in the family, so to keep her away from bad influences during her formative years, I arranged for her to attend an all-girls school. She did make a good friend like Liang, and now that she’s in high school, she’s made quite a few friends and even formed a band. If it were anyone else, I would definitely be worried, but if it’s you, Luo Bai, even though you’re a womanizer and have a harem, I still trust you.”

Watching Hongxia drumming with gusto on stage, Luo Bai smiled and said, "Sister Xingge, you can rest assured about that. But to be honest, Hongxia and I aren't at that level yet. For now, let her focus on the band. Her skill level is improving rapidly."

Ichika raised an eyebrow, asking with a hint of doubt, "Is that so? Or do you think my Nijika isn't cute enough?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Bai chuckled, "Sister Xingge, are you promoting your own sister? Hongxia is very cute, I can guarantee that, and I like her very much too. But there's no need to rush these things. We're not like we don't see each other all the time. Now that I've received my acceptance letter, I can meet Hongxia anytime I want. There's no need to rush things like developing a relationship, right? In comparison, Sister Xingge, haven't you thought about your own situation yet?"

Looking at Ichika Hoshika's face, which resembled Nijika's by six or seven points and was even more mature, Luo Bai was quite curious whether anyone was pursuing her.

Resting her chin on her hand, Xingge said, "I don't have any thoughts on that right now. I'm both the band's manager and running STARRY, where would I find the time for dating? Besides, I'm already 29, almost 30, who would want to date me..."

After saying that, Ichiji Hoshika couldn't help but sigh.

"Really?" Luo Bai said in surprise, "If you don't say it yourself, people will just think you're in your early twenties, right, Xiao Ai?"

Sitting on Luo Bai's other side, Hoshino Ai overheard their conversation and nodded with a smile, saying, "That's right, Hoshino-nee's skin is really good, and she doesn't look much older than us. Don't be so insecure! If you don't have a man you like, why don't you consider Luo Bai-ge?"

"kindness?"

Xingge was stunned for a moment, then exchanged a glance with Luo Bai, her face involuntarily turning slightly red.

"I don't think this is a good suggestion!"

Although in Ichika's mind, Luo Bai's appearance did indeed match her aesthetic standards, and his personality and other aspects were all very good.

But most importantly, the two are quite far apart in age, by ten years, and she doesn't want to be seen as an old cow eating young grass.

Besides, Hongxia is there too; she can't compete with her younger sister for it.

However, just as I thought

At this point, Xingge glanced at Yukino sitting on the other side of Xiao Ai and remembered Yukino's older sister, Yango, who seemed to be one of Luo Bai's harem members as well.

Not to mention Heroic Spirits like Artoria and Mordred, whose age is not a concern at all.

Thinking about it that way, it doesn't seem like a big problem...

The more she thought about it, the less she could control herself. She hurriedly shook her head desperately, trying to shake off all those unhealthy thoughts.

"Let's not talk about that!"

Xiao Ai could tell that Xing Ge definitely had something in mind, but she didn't say anything more. After all, Luo Bai himself wasn't in a hurry for these things, and he hadn't even won over Wu Tina and Xiao Gudu yet.

.........

In the evening, after having dinner at Luo Bai's house and playing for a while, the Yi Di sisters drove back.

After getting home, taking a shower, and finishing her homework, Hongxia went to her sister's room in her pajamas. She opened the door, looked at the barrier leaning against the headboard reading a book, and said, "Sister, can I sleep with you tonight?"

Xingge glanced at her younger sister and nodded, "Okay, come in."

Hongxia happily ran in, closed the door, and leaped onto her sister's bed, then burrowed under the covers.

Looking at her younger sister's happy face, Xingge shook her head, put the book aside, turned off the light, and lay down.

In the darkness, Xingge could sense that her younger sister beside her hadn't closed her eyes to rest, but had turned to face her. So she asked, "Is there something you want to say?"

Hongxia nodded and whispered, "Um, sister, I like Senior Luo Bai."

"Yes, I know, I can tell."

"Then, you won't stop me, will you?"

"Can I stop you?" Xingge retorted, then continued, "If it were any other guy, I might try to stop you first and get to know his character and other aspects. But I've known Luo Bai for quite a while now, and he is indeed a very outstanding guy. As for his womanizing and harem... the world is changing too fast these days. With his abilities, no one would dare to gossip even if he had a few more girls."

Hearing her sister say that, Hongxia felt relieved. She was afraid that her sister would stop her, and then she would be torn between her own sister and the boy she liked.

"That's great, thank you, sister!" After expressing her gratitude, Hongxia thought about how her sister was still single and tentatively said, "Sister, look at Yukino and Haruno, they're both with Luo Bai, and even Artoria and Mordred are together. What do you think about you...?"

Xingge's eyes widened at her sister's bold statement, and she turned to look at Hongxia in the darkness.

"How could you think that?"

Hongxia stuck out her tongue and said, "Isn't it because you've been single all this time, sister? I know you're doing this to take care of me, but I'm all grown up now. I've even formed a band and signed a contract to debut. I'm not a child anymore. Sister, you can go and pursue your own happiness too! But even so, I don't want you to be separated from me after you get married in the future. So how about we both be with Senior Luo Bai? That way, we won't have to be separated?"

"..."

Ichi Hoshika fell silent. Although she was happy that her younger sister didn't want to be separated from her, this suggestion really surprised her.

However, Xingge hesitated as soon as the words of refusal were on the tip of her tongue.

Recalling what Xiao Ai had said to her that afternoon, if she wanted to get rid of being single and her current life didn't change much, Luo Bai was indeed a good choice.

I just don't know if the other person would even be interested in an old maid like me...

Unbeknownst to her, Ichiji Hoshika's thoughts drifted further and further away, leaving Nijika, who was standing nearby, puzzled.

Why isn't my sister saying anything?

Volume 1: Chapter 909 Bored Maitina, Let's Fight a Magical Girl (1/2)

In the end, Hongxia didn't get any reply from her sister. She assumed that her sister had fallen asleep, so she put aside her thoughts for the time being and closed her eyes to sleep.

However, Xingge stayed up very late that night before finally falling asleep, her mind filled with too many thoughts.

Over the next few days, because the band was going to Tokyo to record album music, Hongxia didn't have the opportunity to launch an offensive against Luobai. And when the weekend came, Luobai set off to explore the world of Gourmet Captive.

Tokyo, Eriri's house.

Lying on Eriri's bed in her bedroom, Utaha held her phone and scrolled through online comments about the manga, saying, "Eriri, haven't you started drawing the ending of your manga yet?"

On the other side, Eriri, nestled in a beanbag chair and playing a game with a controller, lazily said, "No, I still have almost ten chapters left in my drafts. I need to rest and work hard on the ending after the New Year!"

"I think you just want to be lazy and play games."

"Hmph, who said I wanted to slack off?" Eriri retorted, then freed her right hand to take out her wand and used magic to open the drawing software on both computers. The pen automatically started drawing on the digital tablet.

"I'm practicing video games now, you know? Once I've mastered it, I'll be able to draw faster than any other comic artist! I can finish a chapter in half a day, and I can use the rest of the week to do other things. Isn't that great!"

Seeing Eriri's smug look, Shiho turned off her phone and put it aside, yawned, and pulled the blanket over herself.

"Really? Then good luck to you, I'm going to take a nap first."

Seeing that Shiyu had just finished lunch and was already planning to take a nap, Eriri asked curiously, "Did you stay up late last night?"

"No, it's just that Luo Jun isn't here, and it's so boring," Shi Yu said with her eyes closed. "If he were here normally, I could take a nap with him."

"I think you don't want to take a nap, you just want Luo Jun's body."

"Hmph, I am indeed craving it, aren't you craving it too?"

Shiyu's question made Eriri turn away shyly, no longer looking at Shiyu.

It's impossible not to crave it; that feeling is truly comforting. Plus, like Utaha, Eriri is usually in Tokyo, and only goes to Chiba on weekends, which makes her miss Luo Bai even more.

Luo Bai had to leave this weekend, so they had even less of a chance.

Eriri could understand Shiwa's current emotions.

"Shiyu, are we going to Chiba tomorrow?"

“Yes, of course I’ll go. I’ll go tomorrow morning. Luo Jun said he’ll be back by tomorrow morning if he’s fast, or at most by evening. It won’t be too late.” Shi Yu turned over and said with a smile, “I’ll drive over to see you tomorrow morning, and we’ll go together. Eriri, turn the game volume down, I’m going to sleep.”

"I know, really, I've never seen anyone who loves sleeping as much as you."

Eriri shook her head, took out her headphones and put them on. Soon, only the sound of Eriri pressing the buttons on the controller and Shiho's breathing as she slowly fell asleep could be heard in the room.

In the other locations, the girls' reactions after Luo Bai left were roughly the same.

Everyone was feeling a bit bored.

Inside the Night Palace, after transforming, Butina lay on the sofa in the hall, gently waving the Whip of Domination in her hand, and then said to Venalita beside her:
