My fiancée Yukino

Holding 02, Luo Bai and Yukino sat down on the sofa, just in time to see An and Subaru appear on the TV.

It must be said that as a young actor, An and Subaru's acting skills are quite good, and Mai also said that he has great potential.

He's now playing drums in a band.

Moreover, given the current level of support the company is giving to their band, unless they encounter a really good script, it's unlikely that An and Subaru will be able to act again anytime soon.

Going to school and practicing already take up the vast majority of her time.

Since she had already seen it, Luo Bai didn't go upstairs and watched the rest of the episode with everyone.

02 Although she couldn't understand what was on TV, she was quite interested in the moving images. Plus, she had some snacks that Xiao Ai had given her, so she obediently sat in Luo Bai's lap and ate them.

After watching an episode of the TV series, it was four o'clock in the afternoon. Xia Shi, Tina, and Last Order, who had gone out to play, returned, and Philon, who was studying with Medea in the underground magic workshop, also came out.

The little ones immediately huddled together and started playing.

Sitting next to Luo Bai, Mai glanced at the red horn on 02's head and said, "Is it okay that this child's horn has been worn down? Will it have any negative effects?"

Luo Bai shook his head and said, "It's okay. There are no nerves inside. A shorter length is better for her daily life, so she won't accidentally bump into anything. But judging from the growth rate, it will probably need to be rubbed every two weeks, otherwise it will grow longer again after a month."

However, compared to the horns on its head, 02 has other problems that need to be solved.

As expected, she was infertile as a clone of the Klaxosaur Princess.

However, these are not things that 02, who is still a child, needs to consider. However, the organization's medical department is also conducting research on this, and there should be results in a while.

Once 02 grows a bit older, treatment can begin.

Whether it's necessary or not, for 02, as a normal human being, physical integrity is essential for her physical development; otherwise, who knows what problems it might cause?

Today was the barbecue day that had been planned for a long time, so when it was almost time, Sera and Lizzie went to the kitchen to start preparing the ingredients for the barbecue feast that night.

Luo Bai glanced at 02, who was still engrossed in the game of Ludo, and then took out his phone to send a message to Little Lonely.

The four members of the band Link went to their company in Tokyo today for training and assessments, and judging by the time it takes, it should be almost over.

Two minutes later, Little Lonely sent back a message saying that they had finished their work and were preparing to return.

After learning that the girls with and without thorns were also there, Luo Bai called them to ask if they wanted to come to Chiba so they could all have barbecue together that night.

Since none of them had met 02 yet, Luo Bai decided to introduce them to her.

Xiao Gudu and the other three were naturally fine. They were going back to Chiba anyway. After telling her friends about this, Nijika immediately ran next door to ask Nina and the others.

Upon hearing that there would be barbecue, Rencai happily raised her hand in agreement.

"I want to go! I'm free tomorrow morning, so going out to play is fine!"

After saying that, he looked at the other four members of the band.

Since it was Luo Bai's invitation, everyone accepted without much hesitation.

Then, we packed our things together, got into the company car, and headed towards Chiba.

Inside the van, the two girls from different bands sat together, chatting happily. However, they weren't discussing music, but rather the episode of the TV series that Luo Bai and the others had watched that afternoon, the one starring An and Mao.

Ebizuka Tomo looked at An and Subaru with envy and said, "It's airing so soon! Ah, I really want to be a part of it too..."

After searching on her phone, Hongxia said, "This TV series is a long-running show. It's been airing for a long time, and the lead actress has always been Subaru's grandmother. The production company behind it is also quite wealthy. Not just anyone can easily get a role in a TV series like this, let alone someone like Xiaozhi who has no acting experience."

Ebizuka Tomo puffed out his cheeks in dissatisfaction and said, "Even though these are facts, you don't have to say them so directly!"

Then she looked at An and Subaru, wanting to ask if there was any way to participate in the performance.

An and Subaru tilted their heads and thought for a moment before saying, "I got this role because my grandma wanted to act with me, so she asked the director. There happened to be an episode in the script that needed a girl to play a main role, so they just cast me. But before it was confirmed, I did have to audition, so it wasn't a complete pre-selection. If you really want to, Xiaozhi, I can ask my grandma later to see if there are any suitable roles in the later scripts and find you an audition opportunity, but whether you'll succeed is hard to say."

"Is it really possible?"

Ash's eyes widened immediately, and he looked excitedly at An and Subaru.

An and Subaru smiled and said, "There might be an audition opportunity, but in the end it depends on you. And Satoshi, don't forget that our main job is the band. No matter how much we like it, this is secondary. Don't neglect the most important thing!"

"Don't worry, I know!"

After a forty-minute drive, the car arrived at Luo Bai's villa area.

After Lyselle welcomed everyone in, the girls saw 02 angrily chasing Tina around in the living room.

An and Subaru's eyes widened immediately, and they asked curiously, "So cute! Who is this child?"

Volume 1: Chapter 952 Dinner Party (2/2)

Because Tina tricked her in the game of Ludo, 02, who was chasing after Tina, immediately stopped when she saw someone come in and looked curiously at the girls who entered.

Seeing this, Momoka, who was walking behind, smiled and said, "Oh, she really is cute, with pink hair. But why are there horns on her head?"

Luo Bai walked over, picked up 02, and said with a smile, "Because you're from another world, come in and sit down. Dinner is still being prepared, in about twenty minutes."

After everyone sat down, Luo Bai briefly explained 02's background and origins.

After hearing this, Nina's mouth dropped open.

She exclaimed in surprise, "Oh! I knew it! I saw the online reports about monsters appearing in Chiba, but then there was no further news. So it's another world. But is it alright to just tell us these things like this?"

Luo Bai smiled and shook his head: "It's okay. The reason we blocked the news was mainly because we were afraid that some curious people would come and cause trouble, which would affect the progress of the work. Now the dragon has been sent back, and the temporary venue has been completely dismantled. Some people have gone there in the past few days, but they didn't see anything, so the discussion has gradually died down."

After learning that 02 liked sweets, Hongxia took out a bag of fruit gummies from her bag, which indeed attracted 02's attention.

After happily feeding 02, Hongxia looked at Luo Bai and asked, "So, senior, have you already adopted 02?"

"Yes, that world isn't really suitable for her to live in. As for the problem with the horns on her head, it shouldn't be a problem in a few years."

While happily eating gummy candies, 02 looked left and right and found that these people she was meeting for the first time were all staring at her, which made her very confused.

She still couldn't quite understand what Luo Bai and the others were saying, so she stopped thinking about it and continued to enjoy her delicious candy.

Luo Bai's words made Ren Cai and the others look at him curiously.

After thinking for a moment, Rupa asked, "Could it be because there will be more people like 02 in our world in the future?"

Luo Bai smiled and said, "It's not certain that there will be more people, but they will definitely be able to live a normal life. Just like Mi Yu and the others, they will definitely settle down here in the future."

The girls all nodded in agreement. Indeed, the horse girls couldn't keep going out in secret forever; this issue definitely needed to be addressed.

Then, everyone started talking about the two bands practicing at the company that day.

From morning until afternoon, apart from lunchtime, they barely rested and the girls were indeed quite tired. However, whether it was the Bond Band or the members of the Thornless and Thornless groups, they all seemed to be enjoying themselves.

They are all doing what they love, and the companies they've signed with are also nurturing them well, which naturally motivates them.

Fifteen minutes later, dinner was ready, and everyone gathered at the table to begin their barbecue feast.

After sitting down, Luo Bai's left and right sides were occupied by Philon and 02, which they had won by drawing lots with Xia Shi, Tina and Last Order.

Looking at the various ingredients on the table, Rencai clapped her hands happily and said, "What a feast! And there are so many things I've never seen before."

Looking at the flat pieces of meat on a plate, An and Subaru looked left and right but still couldn't guess what they were, so they looked at Mai sitting opposite them.

"Mai-senpai, what kind of meat is this?"

Mai glanced at it and said with a smile, "This is swamp snake meat, the meat of a giant snake from another world. These have been processed, otherwise they would be too big to fit on the table."

"A swamp snake? Snake meat?"

An and Subaru shrank back. "I've never eaten snake meat before."

After the grill pan was heated up, Luo Bai picked up the whole plate of swamp snake meat and poured it onto the grill pan. While turning it over, he said, "These things are usually a hundred meters long. We've been exploring that world for a long time, and we've only caught the second one so far. We ate the first one when we caught it. This one was caught a few days ago when Artoria led the team, and it's a bit shorter than the first one."

Renna's eyes widened: "This, is it this big?"

As the meat came into contact with the grill pan, a fragrant aroma wafted out, gradually making the girls forget that it was the meat of a huge creature, and they all began to swallow their saliva.

02, sitting next to Luo Bai, had a similar expression. Although she had eaten a lot of delicious food these past few days, she still couldn't resist the urge to eat when it was time to eat. Right now, she was excitedly tugging at Luo Bai's sleeve, her eyes fixed on the baking tray.

Luo Bai smiled and reassured her, "Don't worry, it'll be over soon."

After the meat was grilled, Luo Bai divided it among everyone and added a few pieces to 02 and Philon's bowls.

02 He wasn't good with chopsticks, so he used a fork to pick up a piece of swamp snake meat, carefully blew on it, and put it in his mouth.

"Awoooooo!!!"

After excitedly eating a piece of meat, the little girl immediately wanted to eat a second piece, but Luo Bai stopped her, picked up a piece of meat, dipped it in some sauce, and then fed it to her.

Unlike the original flavor, the more complex and richer taste made 02 squint her eyes in satisfaction.

The group of people opposite them, including Nina, had similar expressions. Momoka, in particular, was enjoying her grilled meat and drinking alcohol, letting out a satisfied sigh.

"Ah~~ After a long day, being able to eat such delicious food makes life perfect!"

Rupa's reaction was similar to Momoka's. Among the five members of the band, only she and Momoka could drink alcohol. Right now, they were each enjoying a bottle of beer.

There are quite a few special ingredients on the table. During this time, Artoria has also searched for many interesting ingredients from the world of Gourmet Hunter, such as lobster fish, which is a new find.

As for ingredients like spotted pigs, an entire group was captured and domestication experiments were initiated.

The lavish barbecue feast lasted for over two hours. All five girls, both boneless and skewered, were stuffed. Afterward, they sat neatly on the sofa, comfortably rubbing their bellies, unable to move.

With a nonchalant burp, Momoka lazily said, "We usually cook for ourselves in the dorm, and while it's pretty good, it can't compare to what's here..."

Upon hearing this, Luo Bai asked curiously, "Do you guys usually cook for yourselves in the dorm?"

Rencai nodded a little shyly: "Hehe, we do know how to cook, but we're all beginners. All we can say is that we can handle spicy food~~"

Xiao Ai replied affirmatively, "That's great! As long as you're willing to learn, you can definitely do it well if you take your time. Like me, I can cook several dishes now!"

Then, this newbie started discussing cooking with Nina.

Volume 1: Chapter 953 Girls' Late-Night Chat (1/2)

Of the five members of the band, Rupa and Ebizuka Satoshi had previously worked at Yoshinoya, but in a chain restaurant, the things one can learn are limited. All the dishes have a fixed cooking process, which is different from the kitchen of a regular restaurant.

But compared to the other three, they are definitely better.

After chatting for a while, Momoka and Rupa, who had taken a sip of alcohol during their meal, drifted off to sleep. The two of them had drunk quite a bit, including beer and the shochu that Haruno had poured for them, which really boosted their spirits.

"Momoka-san, Rupa!"

After shaking the two of them without waking them up, Nina said angrily, "Honestly, how did they fall asleep? We're supposed to go back!"

Luo Bai chuckled and said, "They drank quite a bit of baijiu (Chinese liquor), and they're only just falling asleep now. I can only say they have a pretty good alcohol tolerance. Anyway, tomorrow's Sunday, so let's just rest here today."

Renna knew that going back like this would be quite troublesome, so she could only nod and say, "Then I'll have to trouble you, senior."

Meanwhile, Hongxia happily raised her hand: "Senior, senior, we want to live here too!"

"Okay, go upstairs and find a guest room yourself."

"Great!!"

At night, after everyone went to take a bath, Yukino also took 02 to the bathroom, along with Mai, An, and Subaru.

An and Subaru originally planned to take a shower later, but when they were carrying Momoka to the room, she vomited all over them, so they had to come here and shower with Yukino and the others first.

After washing themselves clean, the three of them, along with the somewhat sleepy 02, went into the bathhouse for a soak.

Holding 02 in her arms to prevent her from sinking, Yukino looked at An and Subaru sitting opposite her and asked, "Are you getting used to transferring from an entertainment school to a regular high school?"

An and Subaru smiled and nodded: "I'm getting used to it. My classmates are all very nice. As for my studies, although it was a bit difficult at first, I'm slowly catching up now. The only problem is that now that I've transferred to a regular high school, my grandma has started keeping an eye on my studies, and the pressure seems to have increased..."

Mai agreed, saying, "Indeed, it's quite tiring to juggle work and studies. When I was in my senior year of high school, I had to put aside most of my work to focus on studying. Otherwise, it would have been very difficult to get into Tokyo University so smoothly. I probably would have had to use some connections or something."

After listening, Anwa Subaru thought for a moment and said, "Hmm~~ I don't plan to take the entrance exam for Tokyo University, so it seems I won't have to work as hard as Mai-senpai."

As soon as she finished speaking, Yukino said, "You're overthinking it. She didn't work that hard at all. She was always among the top students in her grade. She didn't spend that much time studying in her senior year. Most of the time she was just having fun and hanging out with Luo Bai. If you want to take Eriri as a reference, I suggest you use her as a reference. If you can improve your grades to her level, you'll basically have no problem getting into university."

An and Subaru looked at Mai speechlessly: "I knew it. I seemed to have heard somewhere that Mai-senpai had excellent grades. I thought she got in by studying hard. Turns out she's a top student."

Mai chuckled and stuck out her tongue: "It's not that exaggerated. I did study hard before the exam! But Yukino is right. Since the university is different, you don't need to put too much effort into studying. As long as your grades are above average, it shouldn't be a big problem. If all else fails, as long as your grades aren't too far off, you can pull some strings."

As someone who plays in a band and is already signed, Mai has reason to believe that by the time Subaru graduates from high school, the band will definitely have achieved success.

By then, even without taking the exam, it would be easy for her to get a special admission notice based on her band's achievements.

However, when it comes to learning, it's never a bad thing to learn more.

After taking a bath and changing his clothes, An and Subaru glanced at 02, who was still half asleep and letting Yukino help him change, and asked curiously, "So, is this child sleeping alone here now?"

Yukino nodded and said, "We weren't used to it for the first few days after we arrived, so Luo Bai and I took turns sleeping with us. But we've gotten used to it now and can sleep in our rooms by ourselves. And we've been having so much fun every day that we're usually exhausted by night and just fall asleep as soon as our heads hit the pillow, without caring whether anyone is with us or not."

As she spoke, Yukino changed 02 into a cute nightgown and picked her up.
