My fiancée Yukino

Last night was a bit too wild, so tonight everyone unanimously chose to rest quietly.

Moreover, Yang Nai had been working all day and was quite tired; she really couldn't handle any more exertion.

After taking a shower and having some snacks, Yang Nai and Mai went back to their room to rest early. Luo Bai, on the other hand, held Yukino and the two of them played games together in the living room for more than an hour before also going back to their room to rest.

.........

The next day, at 9:30 a.m.

Dressed in summer attire, Komachi happily arrived at Luo Bai's house, carrying a bag of fruit, and rang the doorbell.

"coming."

Hearing the doorbell, Yukino knew who it was and went to open the door.

As soon as she opened the door, she saw Komachi with a beaming smile. Yukino smiled and said, "Good morning, Komachi, come in quickly."

"Oh! I'm late, sorry to bother you, Yukino-nee!"

Komachi walked in and handed the fruit she was carrying to Yukino. "Here, Yukino-nee, this is fruit my mom asked me to bring!"

"It's a waste."

After taking it, Yukino found a pair of slippers for Komachi to change into, and then led her into the house.

When Komachi entered the living room, she saw Luo Bai and Mai watching TV.

"Good morning, Luo Bai-ge, Mai-nee-nee! Huh, where's Yang Nai-nee-nee?"

Luo Bai smiled and nodded: "Good morning, Komachi. Your sister Haruno has gone to work. As for Shinobu, she's leading her younger sisters in morning exercises. She'll be here in a little while, and then you can get to know each other properly."

Although we met at the resort last time, we didn't really get to know each other, and the timing wasn't quite right either. Today, however, is a good opportunity.

Moreover, among the group, Kanao is also planning to take the high school entrance exam next year. Like Komachi, her goal is Soubu High School. If they both get in, they can become classmates.

After telling Komachi about Kanao's situation, she was also very much looking forward to it. After all, not many of her junior high school classmates were planning to take the entrance exam for Soubu High School, and even her friends might not be able to get in based on their grades.

Now that she has another peer who can take the entrance exam for Zongwu High School with her, it is indeed a very happy thing for her.

He poured Komachi a glass of juice, brought her some snacks, and then sat down next to her, asking, "What are your plans for summer vacation? How's your high school entrance exam going?"

"Hehe, I enrolled in tutoring classes just like my brother, but I don't have as many classes as him, so I have some free time!" Komachi happily picked up a bag of potato chips, opened it, ate two chips, and said, "As for studying, it's not bad. The tutoring classes are quite effective. I'm confident about getting into Soubu High School, but I'll have to wait until the start of the next semester to see my exam results before making a judgment."

Yukino nodded and said, "Okay, good luck. If there's anything you don't understand, you can come and ask us for help on the weekend. Anyway, Luo Bai and I are planning to spend more time guiding Kanao starting next semester. She's starting from scratch, so the pressure will be much greater than yours, and we'll have to tutor her more."

"Learning from scratch?" Komachi asked curiously. "Hasn't she learned this before?"

"I only learned some basic knowledge and literacy; most of my time was spent learning combat skills."

Then, Luo Bai briefly told Komachi about Shinobu and the others' experiences.

Anyway, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Kanao and Komachi will be classmates in the future, and they'll find out sooner or later, so there's no harm in saying it now.

Komachi was very surprised when she heard that Shinobu and the others were from the Taisho era in another world.

But with the Hungry Bird's meat and the Bell Lion's mane cake already in the picture, this wasn't something she couldn't accept.

With superpowers, ghosts, and all sorts of things already included, adding another person from another world set in the Taisho era wouldn't be a problem.

"Hmm... if that's the case, then her academic pressure is indeed quite high. She has to start from scratch, especially subjects like math and English, which must be the most difficult to learn. How is she doing now?"

Speaking of Kanao's studies, Luo Bai smiled and looked at Komachi, saying, "Kanao is quite smart. She has already finished learning all the elementary school material and is now learning the first year of junior high school material. She has learned about half of it. According to the plan set by her tutor, she needs to finish learning all the material from the first year of junior high school to the first semester of the third year during the summer vacation and reach an excellent level."

"A summer vacation, two months?"

Komachi blinked in disbelief. "She's a genius, isn't she?"

“That makes sense.” Luo Bai nodded. “Those who can learn breathing techniques and join the Demon Slayer Corps are generally not stupid; they all have excellent comprehension. Although it’s a transition from martial arts to academics, it went relatively smoothly. They’ll be back in about half an hour, and then you’ll see.”

Half an hour later, Shinobu and the others finished their morning training session and returned to their apartment.

Shinobu Kocho arrived first, greeted Komachi who was playing with the cats, and then said, "Kanao and the others went to take a shower and change. They'll be here soon. Raku-kun, I'll be making lunch later. Is there anything you'd like to order?"

"I don't have any, Komachi, what about you?"

Seeing that Luo Bai had given her the choice, Komachi thought for a moment and then said, "The meat of that hungry bird is fine no matter how it's cooked."

"If you're going to eat, could you make a stew?"

"Sure, I'll just improvise and make a stew."

After gently patting Komachi's head, Shinobu went upstairs to prepare lunch.

After Shinobu left, Komachi looked at Rakuhaku and said, "Shinobu-neechan is three years older than me, but she looks very mature!"

“After all, she’s a Pillar in the Demon Slayer Corps and manages the Butterfly Mansion medical team, so she naturally has a maturity beyond her years,” Luo Bai said with a smile. “However, she has become much more relaxed since settling here.”

Komachi blinked, looked curiously at Luo Bai, then at Yukino and Mai beside her, and said, "Hmm~~ I always feel that the way Shinobu-neechan and Mai-neechan look at you, Luo Bai-nii, is unusual. Just like Yukino-neechan, and also like how Yui-neechan looks at my brother. Luo Bai-nii, could it really be what I think?"

Luo Bai did not rush to deny Komachi's speculation.

He knew that Komachi was very smart, and that Luo Bai and the others hadn't deliberately hidden anything from him, so they could see through it to some extent.

He asked with a smile, "So what kind of ideas are you having?"

After a slight hesitation, Komachi whispered, "Luo Bai, you're going to have a harem!"

"Yes, you guessed right."

Luo Bai confirmed Xiao Machi's guess without hesitation, then patted the girl's head and said with a smile, "Well, you've entered a den of thieves now, aren't you worried about yourself?"

Komachi stuck out her tongue and said, "Don't worry, I'm just a little girl. I'm not as pretty as Yukino and the others. What's there to worry about?"

Mai smiled and hugged Komachi, saying, "No, that's not true. Komachi is very cute too! But Komachi, please don't tell anyone about us. We still want to live a quiet life."

Komachi nodded understandingly: "I know, Komachi, I won't say anything! But I didn't expect that you, Mai-neechan, also like Luo Bai-ge!"

"As for me, a lot has happened too."

Mai glanced at Luo Bai, then told Komachi about her experience with puberty syndrome.

Komachi was quite surprised, but now she understood why Mai had suddenly switched to another agency and made a comeback after a period of silence.

I also understood why the other person had been living alone and not with their family.

As for words of comfort, Komachi didn't say anything more. She could tell that Mai was happy now and didn't care about the past.

Then, she looked at Luo Bai and said, "Brother Luo Bai, there's Yukino-neechan, Mai-neechan, and Shinobu-neechan too, right? What about Haruno-neechan and Utaha-neechan who came to the resort with us before?"

Seeing the smile on Luo Bai's face, Komachi understood and couldn't help but open her mouth wide.

"Brother Luo Bai, you're amazing..."

Komachi sighed, realizing that she seemed to be falling behind the times.

However, Komachi has no right to say anything about the harem thing, and Luo Bai and the others have been very kind to her, and they seem to get along very well, so there's even less need for her to say anything more.

Just then, the apartment door opened, and Kanao and the others came in.

Luo Bai waved to Kanao, who was walking at the front: "Kanao, come here, let me introduce you to a friend. She is also planning to take the entrance exam for Soubu High School next year, just like you."

Upon hearing that the girl was the same age as her and had also applied to Soubu High School, Kanao immediately looked towards Komachi.

Kanao sat down next to Yukino and said softly, "I am Kanao Tsuyuri, hello."

"Hello, I'm Komachi Hikigaya, just call me Komachi!"

Then, Komachi also got to know Kanzaki Aoi and the others.

Upon hearing that Kanzaki Aoi, despite being sixteen, did not plan to attend high school, Komachi asked curiously, "If you're not going to high school, are you planning to stay in the Guardians organization forever?"

Kanzaki Aoi nodded confidently and said, "I used to help Shinobu manage the Butterfly Mansion, and I plan to help her manage the medical and logistics teams in the future. Of course, I will also study academic subjects, but I won't go to school. If I have time in the future, I will consider going to university."

As for the three little ones, they will be taking the entrance exam for the junior high school section of Zongwu High School next year.

After learning about Kanao's study progress from Luo Bai, the curious Komachi started chatting with her, and the two discussed their studies.

Through their conversation, Komachi discovered that Kanao had indeed learned a very solid foundation. She knew many of the knowledge points by heart, and even some less important points that Komachi herself couldn't quite remember, Kanao could still recall.

Looking at the girl in front of her, who was the same age as her, Komachi couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, that's amazing! When you get to high school, Kanao, you'll probably be number one in your grade too! What do you think, Luo Bai-ge?"

Luo Bai nodded: "Yes, there is indeed a chance, but it also depends on whether there are other smart students entering Soubu High School next year. If not, with Kanao's intelligence, she can most likely get first place in the grade."

"Oh!"

"First in the grade!"

"Great!"

The three little ones were very happy for Kanao when they heard this.

Although Kanao wasn't really interested in being number one in her grade, seeing everyone's anticipation and her confidence in herself, she smiled slightly and decided to give it a try.

After discussing her studies, Komachi was pulled away by the little ones to play with them.

After learning that the Komachi family also kept cats, they wanted to show Komachi the two kittens they had adopted.

Watching them become friends and leave chatting and laughing, Luo Bai said with a smile, "That's great. Everyone got along very well, and Kanao and the others have made friends too."

Yukino nodded: "Yes, Komachi's personality is quite suitable. She's cheerful and loves to chat and find topics to talk about. They can play together more often in the future."

Komachi Naya's personality is indeed very suitable for Kanao and the others who have only recently settled in modern society, allowing them to integrate better.

Volume 1: Chapter 257 The Surprised Komachi (1/2)

After having lunch with Shinobu Kocho, Kanao and the others had their regular training time in the afternoon, so everyone went to the dojo together.

Komachi was very surprised by the size of the dojo when she first came here.

"I didn't expect this place to belong to you all, Sister Ren!"

Then, five minutes later, Komachi's initial surprise shifted from the size of the dojo to the training content of Shinobu and the others.

If it were known that Yukino and the others would use wooden swords, then since Shinobu Kocho is instructing Kanao and Aoi Kanzaki, they are naturally using real swords.

Watching Shinobu Kocho effortlessly handle the attacks of Kanao and Aoi Kanzaki while smiling and occasionally pointing out the shortcomings of her moves, Komachi's mouth dropped open in shock.

"Amazing!"

"Impressive, isn't she?" Luo Bai said with a smile. "Although Shinobu's strength is the weakest among all the Pillars, her skills and speed are top-notch. And because this is just training, Shinobu can't unleash her full power. If she were to fight a real enemy, she would use her own concocted poison to completely outmaneuver her opponent."

"Huh? Sister Ren?"

"Does your sister also know how to use poison?"

Luo Bai nodded: "The ghosts over there are different from ordinary creatures. They have strong defenses, and it's difficult for a ninja to cut off a ghost's head with conventional slashes. So she chose to research a poison that can make ghosts afraid, and the effect is quite good."

Komachi suddenly realized just how powerful those man-eating demons really were.

Ten minutes later, the training ended, and Shinobu looked at Yukino and Mai.

"Come on, it's your turn."

After saying that, he sheathed his Nichirin Blade and went to the side to take out a wooden sword.

Yukino and Mai nodded, each took a wooden sword, and then stood opposite Shinobu Kocho.

Seeing this, Komachi was surprised: "Huh? Yukino-neechan and Mai-neechan are training too?"

“Yes, they also learned breathing techniques, but not for combat, but to improve their physical fitness,” Luo Bai said with a smile. “Of course, they’ve only just started learning and haven’t mastered them for long, but their bodies have definitely improved a lot.”

Seeing Yukino and Mai relentlessly attack Shinobu, but their skill level couldn't compare to Kanao and the others, Komachi believed it.

"But that's still pretty impressive, isn't it? At least half of them wouldn't be a match for him, right?"

"That's true. With breathing techniques, they can significantly boost their physical abilities in a short time, making it easy to defeat their opponents instantly. Even without swordsmanship, Yukino, who has studied Aikido, can easily subdue her opponents. As for Mai, if she encounters danger, she can simply use her breathing techniques to escape."

"Brother Luo Bai, if Sister Mai hears you say that, she'll be angry!"

Luo Bai didn't care. He had already told Mai the same thing after she learned the breathing technique, and he had told everyone, including Yukino.

Learning these skills isn't about making them brave when faced with danger, but rather about giving them a trump card for survival and escape.

If they were to encounter dangers like ghouls, with me there, they wouldn't need to lift a finger.

Two hours later, the afternoon training ended. Instead of going back to the apartment, everyone rested here and ate ice cream.

The dojo has a kitchen with a refrigerator stocked with ice cream and sports drinks, so everyone can relax after training.

While eating ice cream, Komachi curiously asked Kanao and the others about their past experiences slaying demons, learning about these things from the Taisho era, which she found particularly interesting.

By four o'clock in the afternoon, it was time for Komachi to go home. She had promised her family that she would go home for dinner that evening.
