My fiancée Yukino

In a school, he would be about the same height as many boys.

Seeing that the two of them could go play, 02 glared angrily at Luo Bai.

Luo Bai smiled and picked up 02, looking at her and saying, "There's nothing we can do about it. Just wait and see, you'll grow taller soon too. Let's go check out some other activities; there are plenty to do. Want to ride the bumper cars?"

"want!"

Although she couldn't ride the roller coaster, there were other rides that 02 wanted to try, so she agreed without hesitation.

Xia Shi and Tina, who wanted to ride the roller coaster, were taken by Kivi to ride it. The others, including Hanabishi Haruka and her three younger sisters, followed Luo Bai to the bumper cars and lined up to ride.

Bumper cars are one of the more thrilling rides in an amusement park, besides roller coasters and pirate ships.

The little ones, each with their own bumper car, fastened their seatbelts and started playing excitedly in the area.

Luo Bai didn't go in. Instead, he stood outside with Yukino and Hanabishi Haruka, watching happily and taking pictures with his phone.

Looking at 02 and the others laughing happily, Hanabishi Haruka looked at Luo Bai and Yukino and said, "I have to say, you seniors have a lot of kids in your family. Now there's another one, 02-chan."

Luo Bai said with a smile, "Yes, but it's very lively. The little ones are all great playmates and can grow up together. It's really nice."

After saying that, he took two more photos of Philon.

Ten minutes later, the bumper car ride ended, and the kids came out. Xia Shi and Tina, who had gone to ride the roller coaster, also returned with Kivi's help.

As soon as they returned, 02 curiously went over and asked about the roller coaster.

"Was it fun? Was the roller coaster fun?"

Xia Shi tilted his head and said with a hint of hesitation, "Hmm, the speed is not bad, but it still doesn't feel as fun as when my brother takes me flying in the sky."

Upon hearing this, Luo Bai laughed and said, "Isn't that obvious? After all, you're sitting in a seat, and something is holding you in place, so you don't have that feeling of freedom that you get in the sky. But the speed is still pretty good, isn't it?"

Tina agreed, saying, "Indeed, it's quite fast, especially when the roller coaster plunges down from the highest point; it's really fun."

Tina's words made 02 even more curious. Clenching her little fists, she looked eager, wishing she could grow taller on the spot so she could go play.

Fortunately, there were many fun activities to come, which quickly diverted 02's attention.

We had a quick lunch at a restaurant inside the amusement park, and then continued playing in the afternoon until almost four o'clock before ending our amusement park trip for the day.

After leaving the amusement park, Hanabi Haruka, along with her sisters, said goodbye to Luo Bai and the others.

She had to go home to cook dinner for her family, so she had to decline the invitation to Luo Bai's family dinner.

However, after today's trip, her three younger sisters have become much closer to Xia Shi and the others.

Next year, when these three little girls start elementary school, they'll be able to see Xia Shi and the others at school.

After watching the four Hua Ling Chunxiang sisters leave on the bus, Luo Bai took his family to the supermarket to buy some things before heading home.

Volume 1: Chapter 994 Eriri's New Manga Inspiration (2/2)

When I got home, not everyone was there.

Shinobu Kocho took her sisters, Ushiwakamaru, and Illya to the base. Before she even got off work, Artoria went out to check out a shop again, this time bringing Mai along as well.

Looking at Rin and Sakura watching a movie in the living room, Luo Bai asked, "Why did Mai come along to check out the shops too?"

Rin smiled and said, "It seems we're going to check out a Chinese restaurant, specifically Cantonese cuisine. Mai was interested, so she came along. They said they'd be back before dinner, so it should be soon. How about you guys? Did you have fun at the amusement park today?"

Luo Bai pointed to the little ones sitting on the chairs drinking water and said with a smile, "Just look at their expressions, they've really had a blast today."

Luo Bai sat down between Rin and Sakura, comfortably embracing the two sisters, and asked, "What about you two? Are you just watching a movie at home today?"

Rin counted on her fingers and said, "I've been quite busy. This morning I was practicing magic with Medea, and this afternoon I made a chocolate cake with Sakura and Anna. It turned out pretty well, and we ate it all. After we finished the cake, we rested here and watched a movie!"

"is it?"

Luo Bai looked around, sensed the atmosphere in the villa, and said, "But Anna isn't home right now. Where did she go?"

"I was called to Sima Heavy Industries by Weizhi to help test some newly developed equipment."

As they were talking, Medea came out of her magic workshop, stretching and showing off her shapely figure under her sweater. She sat down and said, "Luo Jun, it's been a long time since you've continued your research on class cards. Are you going to continue with this stuff?"

Luo Bai smiled and snapped his fingers: "Of course we need to continue the research. I'll have time in the next few days and we'll work together on it. I happen to have a few ideas that we can experiment with."

Medea nodded in satisfaction, then called over Philon, who was resting, and began arranging her lessons for the next few days.

Of course, since we're going out to have fun today, there's no scheduled training. Let Philon get some rest tonight, and we'll start again tomorrow.

Medea treated Philon as her own disciple, taking great care of him and planning to teach him all the field magic she had mastered when Philon grew up.

Seeing Medea speaking so gently to Philon made Rin, who was watching from the side, envious.

"Medea, you never talked to me like that when you were teaching me magic!"

Looking at Rin, Medea said irritably, "If you were as smart as Philon, you would understand magic very quickly, and I could definitely explain it to you properly."

Rin met Medea's gaze and awkwardly turned her head away: "Ahem, never mind."

If it wasn't obvious at first, then after Philon laid a solid foundation, her talent in magic was further revealed, and her learning progress was truly unstoppable.

Because Philon was young, both Lobe and Medea intentionally suppressed him a little; otherwise, Philon's learning progress would probably have caught up with Rin's.

Philon had already mastered the basics of the Rin family's gem magic long ago, but because it required the use of magic gems he made himself, he put it aside after mastering it.

Unfortunately, this magic trick is just too expensive. Even though her family is wealthy, Philon isn't very willing to use it. There are plenty of other useful magic tricks and spells out there.

Seeing her sister's expression, Sakura covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

"There's nothing we can do about it. Philon is so young and so talented. If Philon were my disciple, I would treat him just like Medea, and perhaps even more gently."

Luo Bai smiled and shook his head, then said to Philon, "You've been playing all day, go upstairs and take a shower first. Xia Shi, and you guys too, let Yukino and Kivi take you to take a shower together."

"Oh! Time to take a bath!"

After the little ones went upstairs to take a bath, Luo Bai also went upstairs and found Shi Yu hiding in her room writing a novel.

Utaha has finished writing the second volume of the new book and handed it over to editor Machida Sonoko. After checking it, there were no problems, and it can be printed and published when the time comes.

Right now, I'm writing the content for the third volume, and I'm working very efficiently.

Besides Shiho, Eriri was also in the room.

Without disturbing Shiyu who was writing, Luo Bai came to Eriri's side, hugged the twin-tailed girl, and said, "Are you thinking about the new manga?"

Eriri, holding a paintbrush and sketchbook, nodded with a troubled expression: "Yes, the last chapter of the manga has been submitted, and the final poster cover has been drawn. Although I said I wouldn't be releasing a new work next year when I'm a senior in high school, I still want to do some research."

Looking at the boy holding a staff in Eriri's drawing, which was still just simple lines, Luo Bai asked, "So, you haven't had any inspiration yet?"

Eriri nestled comfortably in Luo Bai's arms, then gently moved her paintbrush as she said, "Well, not entirely. I am also studying magic, and I've learned a lot about it from you, Luo-kun, as well as Medea and Elena. I want to create a story based on magic. However, I'm having some trouble with the protagonist's character design; I don't know what kind of character to create."

"Is it a magic-themed manga? So it's an action manga?"

“Yes, combat-related,” Eriri said confidently. “I know a lot about different types of magic, but I’m not sure what kind of magic to give the protagonist or how to define his personality.”

"Hmm~~~" Luo Bai said after thinking with Eriri for a while, "What style are you planning for this manga? Hot-blooded battles, or some lighthearted comedy?"

Eriri pondered for a moment and said, "At first, I wanted to draw a hot-blooded battle manga, but these days there are so many hot-blooded battle manga, and many readers online are saying they're getting tired of it and it doesn't feel original anymore. Plus, Demon Slayer's story is quite serious and exciting, so I decided to change things up and try a lighthearted comedy style. Of course, I still need to make sure the battle scenes are well depicted!"

Listening to Eriri's story, Luo Bai also thought of a work that didn't exist in this world, but that he had read in his previous life.

Matthew the Physics Magician

A heartwarming comedy action manga set in a world of magic, where the protagonist solves problems with his fists.

I haven't read many of Luo Bai's comics, but I still know that the male protagonist's identity is quite unusual.

Considering the style Eriri wanted for her work, Luo Bai explained some of the settings he had come up with for the story to Eriri.

"Since it's a magical world, if you want to achieve a comedic effect, you can work on the male protagonist. For example, the male protagonist doesn't know magic, but he is very strong, or something like that."

"Ugh?"

Upon hearing Luo Bai's words, Eriri's eyes immediately lit up.

Volume 1: Chapter 995 Year-End (1/2)

The contrast is indeed a great element for creating humor, and when you combine physical combat in a magical world, it makes it even easier to create all sorts of comedic conflicts!

Eriri felt her inspiration strike immediately. She turned to a page in the sketchbook, picked up a pen, and started drawing quickly.

Seeing that Eriri had an idea, Luo Bai didn't disturb her creation.

Just then, Shi Yu on the other side stopped and was stretching and looking at him. Luo Bai went over and sat on Shi Yu's bed.

Holding the girl's soft waist, Luo Bai whispered, "Finished writing?"

Shiyu smiled and nodded: "I've finished writing a section of the story, so I can take a break and continue writing tomorrow. Eriri, have you found any inspiration?"

"Yes, I gave her some simple suggestions. What kind of story she draws is up to Eriri herself."

Luo Bai's suggestion mainly concerns the male protagonist's own characteristics; as for the other specific details, Eriri can create them herself.

It seems likely that a different story could be created than that of Matthew, the physical magician.

"Hmm~~ I'm really looking forward to it."

That's what she said, but Shi Yu's actions became increasingly bold. She turned around, hugged Luo Bai's neck, and pinned him to the bed.

Luo Bai gently stroked Shi Yu's legs, which were clad in black stockings, and looked down at her, asking, "So, what are you trying to do? It's not nighttime now."

Shi Yu gently tapped Luo Bai's forehead with her finger: "It's as if you didn't do enough bad things with me during the day."

Then he leaned down and kissed Luo Bai.

The two of them, with Eriri still in the room, started to get all lovey-dovey.

At first, Eriri didn't notice, completely absorbed in her creation. But after about ten minutes, as the commotion over there gradually grew louder, it became impossible for Eriri not to notice.

Turning around, Eriri saw that Shiho's coat and skirt were gone and stared wide-eyed in disbelief, saying, "What are you two doing? I'm still in my room! Kasumigaoka Shiho, are you that thirsty?"

With her hands resting on Luo Bai's chest, Shi Yu looked at Eriri with a flushed face, licked her lips, and said, "Weren't you busy? I reckon it's nothing serious, it's not like it's the first time. Now that you've finished drawing, do you want to join in?"

"Of course! I wouldn't let you have it all to yourself!"

She put down the picture book and walked over, swinging her pigtails.

However, Luo Bai stopped Shi Yu from taking off her clothes and said to the two girls, "The little ones have finished their baths and come out. I've been away all day, so I should take a bath too. Let's go together."

Shiyu readily agreed: "Okay, it's more comfortable in the bathroom."

Then she picked up the dress next to her and put it on, then went to the wardrobe to find a change of clothes.

Luo Bai patted Eriri's head and pinched her little cheek, saying, "How's the drawing? Let me see."

Eriri shook her head and said, "Not yet, it's not finished. I'll show it to Luo Jun after I finish drawing the male lead!"

"Okay, then I look forward to your work."

Then, Luo Bai took Shi Yu and Eriri to the bathroom for a bath together, and enjoyed a series of services such as having his back scrubbed by the two beautiful girls.

.........

The holiday was very comfortable. Apart from going out shopping and dating with the girls one by one, Luo Bai spent the rest of his time either checking on the progress of the Crane Pavilion's refit at Sima Heavy Industry or comfortably staying at home, playing games and such.

Luo's parents also came here the day before Christmas. They had arranged everything at the company and were now on holiday.

However, I still have to go back after the New Year to attend the company's annual meeting.

Soon, the last day of the year arrived: December 31st.

Early in the morning, at seven o'clock, Hoshino Ai, who had gotten up very early, left with Luo Bai to open the teleportation channel and head to Tokyo to prepare for the Kohaku Uta Gassen (Red and White Song Battle) she was going to attend that day.

As for Shiyu, she's having dinner with her parents in Tokyo tonight, and some relatives will be coming over too.

However, she will still come to Chiba before the New Year's Eve countdown.

Kivi and Tina were the same; they planned to have dinner at home before coming over to celebrate the New Year with everyone.

Eriri doesn't have this concern. Since the holidays started, the Sawamura couple simply left Eriri in Chiba and went on a trip abroad, not even planning to come back for the New Year.

Sitting in a chair, holding an egg crepe and taking a bite, Eriri said dejectedly, "I feel like I'm not even their biological child. They just left me here and went out to play!"

Mai, who was standing next to her, took a sip of coffee and said with a smile, "It's normal, isn't it? Your aunt and uncle have always had a good relationship, and Eriri, you have a boyfriend now, so they can just leave you here and enjoy their time together."

That's true, but it's so frustrating!

After taking another bite of her burrito in a huff, Eriri looked at Yukino and Haruno and asked, "Yukino, Haruno-neechan, aren't you going home today either? Doesn't the Yukinoshita family have any New Year's Eve activities planned?"

Yang Nai smiled and said, "No need to go back. There really aren't any activities planned. Since the two of us settled here and I started managing the family business, my mother has had less to do, and her relationship with my father has gradually returned to what it was like when they were younger. Naturally, she's too lazy to let us go back. Although we won't go on a trip like Aunt Xiaobaihe and her husband, it's not much different."
