My fiancée Yukino

At home, the little girls weren't playing games; instead, they were doing their summer homework together in the living room.

In third grade, there was some summer homework, but not much. Apart from a few observation diary entries with topics of my own choosing, I had almost finished all the other assignments.

Little Chestnut Hat is sitting on the sofa, looking at information about several universities in her other world, researching which university to attend and what major to study.

Seeing Luo Bai return, Little Chestnut Hat immediately waved and said, "Trainer, come quickly and help me, I'm a little dizzy!"

After Luo Bai came over, he stuffed all sorts of documents into Luo Bai's arms, and then picked up a bag of potato chips and started munching on them.

"I think you just want to eat something."

He gently rubbed Xiao Limao's ears, and only after she blushed did he smile and let go, picking up the documents to read them.

These materials were given to Oguri Hat by the school principal, Akikawa Yayoi; they were invitations and information from several top universities in Japan's Uma Musume Pretty Derby world.

As mentioned before, a top-tier G1 racehorse girl like Oguri Hattori, with outstanding performance and immense popularity, would be highly sought after.

When it comes to university, I basically just randomly choose any university.

After briefly reviewing the information, Luo Bai discovered that the universities in the two worlds were not very different; for example, the University of Tokyo also existed, and the names were exactly the same.

There will be more majors related to horse racing and related industries.

There are also medical majors, including a special program for horse racing girls, which is a very popular major.

"Little Chestnut Hat, do you have a major that interests you?"

"Me?" Little Chestnut Hat asked after swallowing the potato chip in her mouth. "I'm more interested in eating."

"...Food science? I think if you choose this major, you'll be more careful about what you eat in the future."

Little Chestnut Hat thought about it and realized it really was true.

Although I'm in such good health that eating junk food won't bother me at all, I'll definitely make connections to those things once I learn those professional skills, so I'd better forget about it.

Shaking his head, Xiao Lima said, "Besides competition-related knowledge, the school also has academic courses, but I'm just so-so at them. If I really had to choose a major, I'd go for humanities, literature? I feel like that would be easier. I'm really bad at science subjects. I never even understood things like calculating acceleration on curves before."

Following Oguri Hat's suggestion, Luo Bai flipped through the information in his hand and then decided, "Although it's not the same world, it's the same University of Tokyo, so let's just go here and choose a literature major. Anyway, in Uma Musume Girls, the test scores are somewhat different, so it shouldn't be too difficult for you to graduate, Oguri Hat. If all else fails, we can also help you with tutoring."

"Then let's choose a humanities major. Tokyo University is really good." Oguri Hat readily decided on her university direction based on Luo Bai's suggestion, then looked at Yukino and asked, "Yukino seems to be planning to study literature at Tokyo University too? Then we're in the same boat!"

Yukino smiled and nodded: "If you're not good at science, Oguri-chan, literature is indeed a good direction. Since you're not racing anymore, you can find some other hobbies, and reading more books is definitely a good idea."

"I've been reading books, but not many."

After deciding on the university she wanted to attend, Oguri Hat didn't hesitate. She immediately took out her phone and contacted the headmaster, explaining her decision and planning to visit the university in a few days.

In that world, winter is almost over, and students can officially start school in April.

"Trainer, come with me when we go for the visit!"

“Sure,” Luo Bai readily agreed. “I’m quite curious about Dongda University in another world. I’d like to see if there are any differences. But before that, I need to go see Xiao Ai’s concert. There are only a few days left.”

Ai is now in the final preparation stage, and the Tokyo leg of her tour will officially begin in three days.

These past few days, Xiao Ai hasn't come back much. Luo Bai spent the evenings at the villa in Tokyo keeping her company and used his magic to help the tired Xiao Ai relax and prevent her from overworking.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Luo Bai arrived at Treson Academy and found Mi Yu, McQueen, and Bourbon training there.

The three female horses were having a competition, not to determine a winner, but to train their ability to withstand Mi Yu's momentum in the competition and to see if they could learn anything from it.

Rice Bath's imposing aura is unmatched among all the racehorse girls. Even Oguri Hat, who also learned the technique, is not as exaggerated as Rice Bath.

After running one lap, although it didn't take much effort, McQueen and Bourbon both felt as if they had just run three kilometers at full speed, and were extremely tired.

It's not just physically exhausting, but mentally it's even more tiring.

"Being constantly pressured like this is really unpleasant." After a while, McQueen exclaimed, "It's much more terrifying than the last competition. Mi Yu is truly amazing."

As a friend of rice baths, I've experienced their effects before, but this time it's truly much more powerful.

After the three finished running, Luo Bai said with a smile, "How did it feel? Actually, this is a skill that can be learned. Oguri Hat learned it, but we didn't use it in the previous competitions because it wasn't really necessary. Mi Yu was the same; she and Oguri Hat didn't use it in the Dream Cup either. However, when the strength is similar, it can indeed put a lot of psychological pressure on the opponent, thus preventing them from exerting their full strength."

After checking the three's physical condition, Luo Bai knew they had been training all afternoon, so he clapped his hands and stopped the training for the day, preparing to take the three back.

Before stepping into the portal, McQueen tugged at Luo Bai's sleeve and looked at him, saying, "Um, Trainer, my grandma would like to invite you to our house for a meal as a way of thanking you, is that alright?"

"Want to come to your place?" Luo Bai was a little surprised, but still nodded and said, "Sure, when?"

"There's no rush, let's wait until Xiao Ai's concert is over."

"Okay, it's settled then. Let's go back now."

After accepting the invitation from the McQueen family, Luo Bai realized that there was a lot to do next.

Concerts, trips to the beach, and even the performance by the Band of Bonds—their performance was originally scheduled for the end of June, but because Ryo hadn't studied for her final exams at all, Hongxia had to postpone the performance and then drag Ryo into tutoring her. In the end, she barely managed to get a few final exams; otherwise, Ryo's entire summer vacation would have been wasted, with all her time spent at school attending tutoring and making up exams.

After all that, it's time to go back to China and have some fun.

Oh right, Ilya also said she wanted to go back and give those old guys from the Einzbern family a good beating, so that should be included too.

"Looking at it this way, we really need to plan our itinerary properly."

Before dinner, Shiyu and Eriri finally arrived.

As soon as she arrived, Shi Yu happily jumped into Luo Bai's arms and asked for a kiss, which made McQueen, who was standing to the side, cover his face shyly.

Bourbon glanced at her open fingers and muttered, "What difference does it make whether you block it or not?"

"I...I've never seen these before, I'm a little curious..."

McQueen only recently learned about the connections within Luo Bai's family; their harem was quite large, even including Mi Yu and Xiao Li Mao.

However, seeing how harmonious their lives were, McQueen didn't say much, after all, it was their family matter.

But this scene suddenly made McQueen understand what love was.

Especially the way Shi Yu looked at Luo Bai with a lingering gaze, McQueen understood it at a glance.

Soon, the kiss ended, and Shiyu released Luo Bai with a happy expression, then looked at Eriri beside her.

"Eri, your reaction now is different from how you acted before. You clearly miss Luo-kun a lot, but you haven't done anything about it~~"

Eriri blushed and retorted, "You think everyone is like you? I wouldn't do that!"

But as soon as she finished speaking, Luo Bai pulled her into his arms.

Touching Eriri's twin tails, Luo Bai smiled and said, "Are you done with your work for today?"

Leaning against Luo Bai's chest, Eriri's body went limp, and she rubbed against him softly, saying, "Mmm..."

The cover for the collected volume is finished, and a promotional poster is also done..."

"Then don't go back today, stay here and get some rest these next couple of days."

"kindness..."

Eriri's voice grew softer and softer, and her body became somewhat hot, clearly indicating that she had been thinking about something unhealthy.

Utaha, being experienced, naturally noticed, but she didn't say anything and instead went to chat with Yukino with a smile.

When it was time to eat, Haruno, who had been busy at the company, finally returned. Dressed in a proper office lady outfit, she sat down next to her younger sister Yukino and began to eat heartily.

"I'm so hungry, I need to eat more."

Yukino thoughtfully served her sister a bowl of soup and then asked, "Was the company busy today?"

"I'm busy. I took on a big project. I was in a meeting this morning to discuss some things, and then there's another project that needs to be tendered, which also requires a meeting. My mother was involved in the first one, so I could relax a bit, but this second one is entirely my responsibility, so it's more tiring. I was so busy that I didn't have a proper lunch; I just ate a simple bento box."

After saying that, he picked up the bowl and drank half of it in one gulp.

While eating the barbecue, Artoria sighed, "Managing a company is really tough, especially such a big one."

Yang Nai smiled and said, "Actually, it's not too bad. I don't usually need to be this busy. It's mainly because of some particularly big projects, plus my mother wants me to become more familiar with this kind of thing, so she makes me pay more attention and follow up more. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to always come home on time and have time to go to school."

Of all those present, the one most likely to end up doing the same job as Yang Nai in the future is Luo Bai.

Even now, Luo Bai regularly checks the various planning reports of his family's company and offers his own opinions.

Once he graduates from university, he will officially take over the family business, something he had already told his parents long ago.

As for the hard work, Luo Bai had already anticipated it and had nothing to worry about.

Unlike the Yukino family, Luo Bai's father had cultivated many capable confidants in his company early on, who would be able to assist Luo Bai well after he took office.

On Yang Nai's side, although there are some capable people, their numbers are still relatively small.

However, Luo Bai had already discussed these matters with Yang Nai, and she also planned to cultivate her own team in the future, which would make her life easier.

After dinner, some people went out for a walk, while others stayed home to rest.

Leaning against Luo Bai, Eriri was scrolling through her phone when she saw a message. She immediately pulled Luo Bai aside and said, "Luo-kun, Luo-kun, the Bond Band's song has been uploaded and they've started promoting it! Ai is using her own account to help promote it!"

"Oh? Really? I heard it happened in the last few days, I didn't expect it to happen now."

Taking out her phone, Luo Bai indeed found three songs by the band Narrow Band on the music platform. It is said that the songs prepared for them by the company, including the new song she is writing, are all in production.

After downloading and listening to it, Luo Bai nodded and said, "Not bad, the completion rate has improved again, and there are already people commenting on the song. But this is just the beginning. Now we'll see what kind of results the new song achieves after it's uploaded."

While Luo Bai was listening to music, the four girls from the Bond Band were also gathered at Xiao Gudu's house, staring intently at the computer screen, watching the reactions to the band's songs on the platform.

While refreshing the online comments, Hongxia asked excitedly, "What do you think the reaction will be?"

Liang was also quite excited, but her tone remained relatively calm as she stared at the screen and said, "Now that we've formed a band, we need to have confidence in our songs. Look, there are already comments."

"No, no, oh, there really is!"

Kita also came over, looking on excitedly, while tugging at Kotori, who was covering his face and too ashamed to look.

"Goto-kun, look! It's a good review!"

Hearing Kita say that, Little Lonely cautiously let go of his hand and opened his eyes.

"Ah, this is really, really a great review!"

Seeing all the positive reviews appearing one after another, a smile appeared on Xiao Gudu's face.

As they read through the comments, the four girls discovered that many of them had indeed been attracted by Hoshino Ai's posts, and they all gave high praise to her.

After watching for a few minutes, Hongxia was completely relieved.

"Phew! That's great, at least we got a lot of people to like us at the beginning!"

Kita then raised his hand and asked curiously, "So, we've officially debuted now, right? Will that affect our upcoming performances at STARRY?"

"It shouldn't be a problem. The company has agreed that we can gain experience by performing in livehouses. We can go to other livehouses too, just consider it as gaining experience, as long as they are legitimate." After analyzing the situation, Hongxia suddenly thought, "Ah, but what if too many people find out and there are too many people at the performance?"

Liang raised his hand and patted Hongxia's head, giving her a timely dose of reality.

"Don't get your hopes up too high. Our performances haven't been widely publicized. Even our online accounts don't have many followers."

Upon hearing the account number, Kita immediately realized what was going on and took out his phone.

"Everyone, didn't we say we'd register an account for our band? I've been uploading photos of us practicing and our daily life!"

He opened his phone, logged in, and was stunned to see that he had over three thousand followers.

"Huh? Did I log into the wrong account?"

Rubbing his eyes, Kita confirmed it for a moment, then exclaimed in shock, "Ahhh, so many people!!!"

The other three people came over and also noticed the number of followers on the account.

"many!"

Hongxia's eyes widened, and she asked curiously, "Why is there so much attention?!"

Kita shook his head and said, "I don't know either. Everyone has been practicing these past two days, and I haven't logged into my account. I didn't expect there to be so many people here."

"It's probably because the song was uploaded." Ryo took out his phone, found the band's account, and analyzed the comments on some of the photos below. "After all, the account name is 'Band of Bonds,' and anyone who's interested can find it with a simple search. Oh~ it's been discovered that our band is made up of female high school students."

Just as he finished speaking, Kita's phone rang; it was a classmate calling.

After the call connected, Kita realized that many of her classmates already knew about her joining the band Bond and making her debut, which was why this girl she was close to had called to ask her.

After explaining a few words to the other party, Kita hung up the phone, let out a breath, and said, "I'm doomed. I feel like things aren't going to be peaceful at school anymore. Is this how Ai feels at school too?"

"It's not that high yet!" Hongxia waved her hand dismissively, and then she and Liang turned off their phones in sync, leaving Xiduo and Xiaogudu stunned.

Her fair face flushed slightly, and Hongxia said shyly, "Well, just in case, um, just in case."
