My fiancée Yukino

"Alright then, it's definitely better to have my older sister as my manager."

Nangong Nayue nodded in satisfaction: "Okay, it's settled then. You're free to do whatever you want from now on. Whether you want to practice at the company or whatever, that's fine. Just remember to tell your family about the contract when you get back."

According to Nangong Nayue's understanding, everyone will definitely be there on time tomorrow, since their families all know about the girls' relationship with Hoshino Ai.

This relationship alone is enough to make the heads of the Goto, Yamada, and Kikka families trust the company.

After that, Nangong Nayue left the meeting room to attend to other matters.

Several producers walked over with smiles and discussed music creation with Hongxia and the other three.

A dozen minutes later, the producers left satisfied, leaving only Luo Bai and his group.

Luo Bai waved to Hong Xia and the other three, then took out a sheet of music from his bag and placed it in front of them.

"The signing is a done deal, so I'll give this to you as a gift."

Hongxia took the sheet music, looked at the name on it, and said, "Adolescent Syndrome, it really is a new song! Thank you, senior, now we have three songs!"

Then, the four of them gathered together and enthusiastically watched the song that Luo Bai had given them.

Volume 1: Chapter 723 Visiting the Sawamura Family (1/2)

The song Luo Bai gave was naturally very suitable for Hongxia and the others; they immediately fell in love with it after listening to it.

"Senior, this song is amazing!"

Hongxia ran happily to Luo Bai, jumping up and down as she said, "What a powerful song! Senior, you're amazing!"

Luo Bai smiled and said, "Well, I'm glad you like it. If you feel there are any parts of the piece that need to be modified, you can change them directly. After all, it's just something I wrote according to my own ideas, and some parts may not be suitable for your playing style. The recording studio here is empty, and we have all the recording equipment. If you want, you can practice and record it yourself and see how it goes."

Kita Ikuyo excitedly raised her hand: "I can't wait!"

Then, the four girls happily ran towards the karaoke room to practice their new song, and Hoshino Ai followed them.

Having decided to sign the contract, they are now at the peak of their enthusiasm.

Looking at Luo Bai, Ichiji Hoshika said, "Thank you for your trouble, you even prepared a song for them."

Luo Bai smiled and shrugged: "It's nothing, it suits them quite well anyway, doesn't it? So next, I plan to go to the Tokyo branch to see the girls, Xingge-jie, what about you?"

"I'll go to the karaoke room to keep them company."

"Okay, let's have lunch together at noon. I've already made a reservation at the restaurant."

They brought Yukino, Last Order, and Misaka 9982 to the Tokyo branch to visit the Misaka Sisters there.

As expected, as soon as he arrived, he was surrounded by the Misaka Sisters. No matter where he went in the branch, he was always accompanied by at least three Misaka Sisters, all of whom wanted to talk to Luo Bai.

Walking beside Luo Bai, Yukino looked at him and said, "You really hold a high position in the hearts of the Misaka sisters, no less than Misaka Mikoto."

Luo Bai said helplessly, "After all, I was the one who stopped Accelerator before. I just didn't expect the favorability rating to be so high. But it's a good thing, at least the sisters' emotions are growing. Now they are willing to express their emotions directly. In addition to their physical health, their mentality is also getting closer and closer to that of ordinary people."

Then, the group arrived at a specially set-up network intelligence room, which contained several large computers and several Misaka Sisters who were using equipment to conduct network operations.

Efficient information gathering.

Because the department is still in its early stages of formation, there are no specific tasks, and Misaka Sisters are simply collecting information online based on their own interests.

Of course, if useful information is found unexpectedly, it will be compiled and reported.

After watching for a while, Luo Bai left without disturbing the Misaka Sisters.

I had lunch with Nijika and the others. In the afternoon, I let Yukino take Last Order and Misaka 9982 out to play for a while, while I drove to Eriri's house.

Utaha didn't come today because she went directly to Eriri's place to help with the storyboarding for the manga.

When they arrived at the Sawamura family villa, it was Eriri's mother, Sawamura Sayuri, who opened the door.

The lady was wearing a dark purple kimono and was very well-maintained. She looked to be only in her twenties or thirties, and you couldn't tell at all that she had a high school daughter.

"Good afternoon, Auntie Lily. Here, this is the milk tea I bought."

"Good afternoon, Luo Jun. Thank you. It's been a long time since you've been here. Please come in."

Sawamura Sayuri happily welcomed Luo Bai in and then led her upstairs.

"Because Eriri said she wanted to keep it a secret, I only recently found out from Miss Nangong that you, Luo Jun, have done so many things, and even brought back King Arthur from another world."

Because her husband is British, Sayuri Sawamura is quite curious about these things.

Luo Bai smiled and said, "It's just a coincidence. As for our world, King Arthur is indeed just a legend, but in other worlds he is a true legendary hero. Next time you have time, Aunt Sayuri can come to Chiba with Eriri. Artoria is very easy to talk to."

"That's wonderful. We're here. Eriri's room. She and Utaha are working right now."

Knocking on the door, Sayuri Sawamura said, "Eriri, Utaha, Luo-kun is here~~"

With the sound of footsteps, the door opened, and Eriri, dressed in casual clothes, appeared in the doorway.

Looking at Luo Bai, Eriri said happily, "You're here! Come in quickly, we're working right now."

Sayuri Sawamura also said, "I'll go get you some snacks."

Upon entering the room, Luo Bai saw Shi Yu sitting at the table, propping her head up with one hand, with a storyboard in front of her, which she was revising.

Shi Yu glanced at Luo Bai and beckoned, "Luo Jun, come help me. I can't seem to fix this."

Approaching Shi Yu, Luo Bai glanced at the storyboard being revised and exclaimed, "I see, it's this kind of distorted action battle scene. This is indeed a bit difficult for you. It's already quite good, but this part needs a slight modification, and the proportions need to be adjusted as well."

While Eriri and Utaha are both quite skilled at paneling in manga, they still fall a little short in some details of battle, such as the contortion of limbs and the impact of their moves.

The early parts of the manga were fine, but the later battles against the Upper Moon demons required more impactful visuals to keep up with the fast-paced plot and immerse the reader more fully.

While Luo Bai was helping with the revisions, Eriri also came to sit down on the other side of Luo Bai and discussed it together.

Soon, Sayuri Sawamura brought up the snacks.

After putting the things down, he gestured to Eriri with his eyes, but seeing his daughter's blank expression, he could only shake his head helplessly and walk out of the room.

Luo Bai didn't see any of this. He picked up a cookie, popped it into his mouth, glanced at Eriri, and said, "It's rare to see you not wearing that tracksuit at home."

Today, Eriri is wearing a fitted white crew neck short-sleeved top and denim shorts, revealing her two slender and long legs, which are so white they are almost dazzling.

Shiyu, on the other hand, maintained her persona as always, with black stockings covering her plump legs.

Compared to Eriri, Utaha definitely takes better care of her legs.

Hearing Luo Bai's words, Eriri couldn't help but glare at him, then tugged at her collar and said, "I don't always dress like that at home, and it's a bit hot today, so it's uncomfortable to wear that."

Raising an eyebrow, Luo Bai remarked that Eriri's tracksuit was indeed quite unfashionable, and even her good looks couldn't change that.

Although her outfit today is simple, it perfectly showcases Eriri's unique characteristics.

Her fair skin, slender waist, and long legs even drew compliments from Luo Bai.

"That's true, and you look quite good like this today. It suits you well, Eriri."

Then, with a flick of his wrist, he finished drawing the last part that needed modification.

Volume 1: Chapter 724 Eriri's Advancement in Magic (2/2)

Luo Bai placed the completed storyboard in front of Eriri and said, "Here, take a look. This should be fine. For similar scenes and sequences later on, just draw them in this style."

Eriri nodded happily, picked up the storyboard and looked at it carefully before saying, "Thanks! That solves the problem that's been bothering us all morning. We can finally finish drawing this chapter!"

"Is the content for another episode about to be finished?"

“That’s right!” Eriri proudly sat down at her workbench, opened the artwork on her computer, and explained to Luo Bai, “There were only two and a half pages left to complete. While studying this storyboard, I also finished drawing the next page, so there’s only one and a half pages left!”

As she spoke, she turned on another computer and used the magic she had learned from Luo Bai to start drawing on both computers at the same time.

Similar to magic that controls kitchen utensils to cook automatically, Eriri mastered the ability to use magic to draw after slightly changing her approach.

Looking at the lines on the computer screen beside him, Luo Bai smiled and said, "You're getting better and better at this magic. How's the energy consumption?"

Eriri confidently stated, "At first, it was quite tiring, since I had to multitask. I could barely last half an hour before I could only use it for sketching. But after a while, just like you said, magic becomes more proficient with practice, and it also trains my magical and mental abilities. For example, I can now control the drawing of an entire page continuously without any problem! Once I mastered it, I found that casting other spells became easier, and even my thinking and gaming skills improved!"

"Of course, the effects of improved magical control and mental strength are very significant. Physical fitness isn't your forte, Eriri, but you have an unexpected talent for mental strength. Continue training in this direction; your future is immeasurable."

"Okay, I understand!"

Nodding happily, Eriri's hands kept moving as she continued to draw quickly.

Eriri is now a complete proficient artist. Although she hasn't stopped drawing, it's still easy for her to draw alone.

Eriri was making her final push at work, while Shiho had already clung to Luo Bai's arm, drinking the milk tea he had bought, and asking about what had happened that morning.

"Wow, the contract was signed! That's great. Now, will Hongxia and the others start receiving formal training from the agency?"

Luo Bai nodded: "Yes, in terms of ability."

"Just learn and improve step by step; the main issue is with performances. Utaha, you've seen them practice; because they're so focused, they become too self-absorbed. Like Kotori and Ryo, they're always looking down because they're so focused on playing, which isn't good for a band performing on stage—the audience is watching. Kita is the same; although she's improving quickly, her guitar movements are still a bit stiff. Nijika is slightly better, but unfortunately, she's the drummer, sitting behind the drum set, so not many people pay attention to her."

Shi Yu suddenly realized and said, "It seems that's really the case. Little Lonely and Liang are going to have a hard time. Getting them to correct these things won't be an easy task."

Luo Bai said with a smile, "The first thing I'll probably do is the physical education class. As the lead guitarist, Xiao Gudu can't keep her head down and chest hunched over while playing. She'll definitely be the most tired in the beginning. I hope Hongxia and the others can take good care of her and not wear her down."

Then, Luo Bai took out his phone, opened the videos of two songs he had recorded that morning at the company using the company's recording equipment, and played them in the room.

Eriri turned her head after hearing Kita's singing.

"This singing is so much better than what I heard at STARRY before, it sounds almost like a professional band. Will we be able to listen to their songs online and also hear their albums soon?"

"Given their company's strategy, they'll probably generate some buzz first, then release a few songs on music platforms. They'll also rely on their artists to help promote the band online and introduce their juniors. With the talent of the Necklace Band, I believe they'll start to become famous soon."

With the talent and good looks of those four, as long as they follow the path step by step, it's only a matter of time before they become famous. After all, all four of them are very beautiful, each with their own style and personality.

Yes, that lonely personality of hers still needs to be corrected, otherwise it will cause problems when she appears on TV shows.

Shiyu smiled happily, stretched, yawned, and said, "There's still a lot of work to be done. It's only just begun. I'm getting sleepy. Eriri called me over early this morning, and I stayed up all night last night because of the new book."

"Would you like to take a nap?"

Luo Bai pointed to Eriri's large bed in the room.

“That’s exactly what I was thinking.” Standing up, Shiyu looked at Eriri, who was still busy, and said, “Eriri, can I borrow your bed to catch up on some sleep?”

"Okay, go to sleep. I still need some time. I also need to check the drawings I made earlier one more time. It will take about an hour."

"An hour is enough for a nap."

With that, Shiyu lay down on Eriri's bed and covered herself with the blanket.

Luo Bai moved to the edge of the bed and said with a smile, "How about it, Miss Shiyu, would you like some companionship services?"

Shi Yu squinted her eyes, shook her head and said, "No need. If you lie down too, Luo Jun, I won't be able to paint calmly."

"Hey, how dare you talk like that!"

Eriri turned around angrily and looked at Shiho in bed, saying, "If you're going to sleep, just sleep quietly and don't say anything nonsense!"

"Fine, you're the boss in your territory."

After saying that, Shiyu subtly pointed in Eriri's direction, winked at Luo Bai, and then began her afternoon nap.

Luo Bai understood Shi Yu's meaning perfectly well; she wanted him to remember Eriri.

Shaking his head helplessly, Luo Bai got up and sat down in the chair next to Eriri.

"The manga is maintaining its popularity well, and the third volume is coming out soon, right?"

Eriri was also very happy when it came to manga.

"Yeah, the third volume is coming! And it's already started selling overseas. Jump is really putting in the effort. Plus, I've seen lots of cosplayers posting pictures online! I'm so excited! It's going to be even more exciting at the CM Expo this summer! Luo-kun, let's go together this summer!"

"CM exhibition? That's not a bad idea either."

Luo Bai nodded in agreement. It had indeed been quite a while since he had gone to anime conventions or doujinshi events.

After agreeing, Luo Bai's gaze inevitably fell on Eriri.

Volume 1: Chapter 725 The Supernatural Events Next Door (1/2)

It has to be said that Eriri, who is now 17 years old, has indeed matured a bit compared to when I first met her. Although she hasn't grown much in height and figure, her mixed-race appearance is undeniably more beautiful than before.

Her fair and delicate skin, combined with her golden hair, made her truly dazzling.

Luo Bai's gaze was undisguised, and even Eriri, who was focused on her drawing, couldn't possibly miss it.

Gradually, a faint red tinge appeared on Eriri's ears.

Turning to look at Luo Bai, Eriri said shyly, "Don't keep staring at me, I can't concentrate on my drawing!"
