My fiancée Yukino

Late at night, in the apartment.

Yukino leaned against Luo Bai's chest, feeling very tired but not sleepy at all.

With her left hand and Luo Bai's right hand intertwined, Yukino whispered, "Because of me, you'll have to deal with those things again."

Shaking his head, Luo Bai smiled and said, "It's nothing, just a small matter. Compared to these, Yukino's health is more important. Since Lucoa has a way to solve this, we naturally can't let it pass. As for what she asked me to do, it was only as a condition in exchange for considering my abilities."

"But I still don't really want to do it this way, and I'm starting to regret it."

Compared to her own body, Yukino was more concerned about Luo Bai being in danger, even though both he and Lucoa could handle it.

"Okay, stop it. I told you it's okay." Luo Bai kissed Yukino on the forehead and hugged her tightly, saying, "I'm the master of this house, what I say goes, you hear me?"

Yukino nodded weakly, looked at Luo Bai, and took the initiative to kiss him.

Early Sunday morning.

Luo Bai and Xue Nai got up at eight o'clock, as they were going out at nine o'clock today.

Mai Sakurajima, on the other hand, set off a step ahead to pick up Yui Yuigahama and Saki Kawasaki. Together, they took the company car to Tokyo first, where they had to go to the magazine's photoshoot location for makeup and other work.

After breakfast, the two waited for Yang Nai to arrive so they could take the train together.

As for Hachiman Hikigaya and his sister Komachi, they would wait for them at the station and then go to Tokyo together.

At 8:40, Yang Nai drove over.

Watching the two of them walk out of the apartment building hand in hand, Yang Nai, who was in the driver's seat, said with a smile, "You two really have a good relationship. You even hold hands the whole time when you go out."

After opening the car door and getting into the back seat, Yukino looked at her older sister and said, "Are you envious? Want me to let you hold one too?"

"Um~ Is that okay?"

"No."

Yang glared at Yukino through the rearview mirror, puffed out her cheeks, and started the car.

"mean."

The sisters' conversation made Luo Bai chuckle, and he gently squeezed Yukino's little hand.

Normally, Yukino wouldn't hold hands with him as soon as they left the house. The reason she did so today was simply because he had something special to deal with, and she was a little worried.

After the car started moving, Luo Bai raised his arm and pulled Yukino into his embrace.

"Hey you two, hey, watch out there's a single person here. Stop trying to show off your love!"

Faced with Yang Nai's accusations, Yukino was too lazy to refute them. She closed her eyes and comfortably leaned against Luo Bai's chest. The two of them had only gone to sleep late last night, and she was still a little sleepy.

Luo Baize

With a smile on her lips, she glanced at Yukino in front of her and said, "Let Yukino rest for a while, she's still a little sleepy."

"Tsk tsk, is that so? Okay then."

Yang understood immediately, so he didn't say anything more and focused on driving.

Soon, the three arrived at the station. After parking the car, they met the Hikigaya siblings, who had already arrived, at the station entrance.

The brother and sister knew that Yang Nai would be coming with them, so they weren't too surprised.

When Hachiman Hikigaya was hospitalized before, Haruno also visited the hospital, so the two were not very unfamiliar with each other.

After exchanging greetings, everyone went into the station together, boarded the tram, and set off.

On the train, looking at the large number of passengers, Komachi exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, there are so many people!"

Hachiman Hikigaya, who was standing nearby, said, "It's the weekend, so a lot of people go to Tokyo. But to be honest, there are a lot of people."

Yang Nai sighed, "I haven't ridden the train in so long, I'm really not used to it. I should have just stayed in Tokyo last night instead of coming back."

Looking at her older sister, Yukino asked, "Then, will you come back with us this afternoon? When we come back this afternoon, your sister will arrange a company car to take us back together."

Yang Nai waved her hand: "No, I'll go straight back to school this afternoon and stay in the dormitory tonight."

Although the school provides dormitories, Haruno doesn't live there all the time. She only lives there for about a week a month, and spends the rest of the time in an apartment she bought in Tokyo.

With the wealth of the Yukino family, their two daughters could live comfortably if they wanted to.

Komachi asked curiously, "Yono-neechan, which university do you attend?"

Haruno chuckled and patted Komachi's head: "Me? Keio~~"

"Wow! That's a really impressive university!" Komachi couldn't help but say. "I wonder what kind of university I'll be able to get into in the future."

Luo Bai smiled and said, "Just focus on your studies and get into Zongwu High School first. We can think about other things after you get into high school."

"Sobu High School~" Komachi said with some trouble. "It seems very difficult. Even though I'm attending after-school tutoring now, it still feels challenging."

Luo Bai didn't think so. He pointed to Hachiman Hikigaya and said, "Look, even your brother, who is extremely unbalanced in his studies, was able to get into Soubu High School. Komachi, you can definitely do it too."

"Hey! Encouragement is one thing, but using me as an example is another!"

"That's the truth!"

Luo Bai spread his hands and said with a smile, "Look at who you are. You can only get single-digit scores on math tests. If I hadn't tutored you before, your single-digit math scores would probably have lasted until you graduated from high school."

Hachiman Hikigaya blushed, realizing he was too ashamed to continue the argument, and could only turn away.

"Ahem, a hero doesn't dwell on past glories."

Komachi then realized, "Oh right, if you can even make up for my brother's bad grades, doesn't that mean you're a great teacher, Brother Luo Bai? Can I ask you questions when I don't understand something?"

"Of course."

Luo Bai said with a smile, "I usually have quite a bit of free time, and you have my contact information, Komachi, so just call me. Well, before that, you have to make sure your older brother doesn't get jealous."

Komachi blinked, turned her head, and saw her brother staring at Luo Bai with wide eyes and a wary expression.

Komachi immediately smiled, patted Hachiman Hikigaya on the shoulder and said, "Hehe, don't be so jealous, bro. It's just a question about studying!"

"You can ask me too."

Komachi did not answer, but silently watched Hachiman Hikigaya.

Hachiman Hikigaya now understood that he himself was only half-baked; apart from Japanese literature, he couldn't teach Komachi anything else, even though she was in her third year of junior high.

"...Alright, ask away."

There was no other way but to compromise, since his grades were poor.

Volume 1: Chapter 107 The Filming Operation and the Target That Appeared (2/2)

Forty minutes later, the train arrived in Tokyo.

The filming location was not far from the station; it only took ten minutes by bus to get there.

Outside the photo studio, Mai Sakurajima's manager was already waiting. Upon seeing everyone arrive, he immediately came over and took them inside.

The studio was bustling with people, all preparing for the upcoming photoshoot.

The three main characters filming today—Sakurajima Mai, Yuigahama Yui, and Kawasaki Saki—had already finished their makeup, styled their hair, and changed their clothes, and were sitting and waiting.

Upon seeing everyone arrive, Yui Yuigahama immediately stood up excitedly: "Ah, everyone's here!"

Arriving at the three of them, Luo Bai looked at Yui Yuigahama's outfit and said with a smile, "Hmm, it's very nice, this outfit."

Yui Yuigahama smiled and twirled around, the hem of her long dress fluttering slightly.

"Hehe, right? It's a new style that hasn't even been released yet. I didn't expect to be able to try it on so early!"

Compared to Yui Yuigahama's excitement, Saki Kawasaki was much more reserved.

Although she was able to work as a bartender before, she still gets nervous when she's asked to be a model.

Unlike Yui Yuigahama's style, the stylist dressed Saki Kawasaki in jeans and a cropped T-shirt, perfectly showcasing her tall figure.

As for Mai Sakurajima, needless to say, she was the center of attention today, dressed in a summery dress, exuding youthful energy.

After asking the photographer who was preparing nearby, Mai Sakurajima came over and said, "We have ten minutes left before we start. Let me show you around here."

Then, Mai Sakurajima led everyone on a tour of the studio to learn about its basic structure.

When the time came, Mai Sakurajima went over and, together with Yui Yuigahama and Saki Kawasaki, began their "ear work" in front of the camera.

Although it was the first time for Yui Yuigahama and Saki Kawasaki to shoot a fashion magazine, Mai Sakurajima was already very experienced with it and quickly got the two into the swing of things.

Standing on the periphery, watching the three people taking photos, Yang Nai said with interest, "It seems quite interesting. Moreover, this magazine is quite sincere; the scale of the event is very high."

Luo Bai nodded: "Although it's a comeback after a period of time and she's also changed her affiliation, her popularity is undeniable, and her abilities in all aspects are outstanding. Naturally, the magazine won't miss this first exposure opportunity after her comeback, which can attract a lot of attention."

Holding Luo Bai's arm, Yukino said softly, "She's really clever."

"How could I not be smart? I would never let go of any opportunity to make money."

The morning shoot ended temporarily at 11:30, and everyone left the studio to go out for lunch.

Mai Sakurajima had already found a place to eat, and after we came out, we all went there together. It was a restaurant with private rooms.

After a quick lunch, the afternoon's work began soon afterward.

Instead of going directly there, Luo Bai and the others went to a nearby milk tea shop first to buy some drinks for Sakurajima Mai and the others and bring them over.

Watching the three of them change into several different outfits and continue their photoshoot, Yukino whispered to Luo Bai beside her, "You over here..."

"Hmm?" Luo Bai looked at Yukino and said with a smile, "They probably haven't appeared yet, no rush."

As soon as she finished speaking, Lucoa's voice appeared in her mind.

"Little Luo Bai, the target has appeared. I've marked its location for you. Go find it. You should be able to identify it once you get there. I'm currently making a potion for Yukino, so it'll take another half hour before I can get over."

Upon hearing this, Luo Bai responded in his mind, gently squeezed Yukino's hand, and said, "I've received the message. I have to go."

"Okay, take care of yourself."

After speaking with the others, Luo Bai left the studio.

Yukino approached her younger sister and asked curiously, "Yukino, is something wrong, Shiro?"

"Yes, I was notified of something urgent and need to take care of it."

Although that was Yukino's answer, Haruno, as the older sister, still noticed a hint of worry in Yukino's eyes, but didn't know why.

Looking in the direction Luo Bai had already left, Yang Nai's eyes revealed a hint of curiosity.

These two people are definitely hiding something from me.

After leaving the studio, Luo Bai headed towards the address Lucoa had given him.

The address shown was a coffee shop, which surprised Luo Bai.

If it's a coffee shop, then that means the target this time is a humanoid creature?

As he walked, Luo Bai couldn't help but rub his temples.

"Sigh, I have a feeling it will be much more troublesome than I expected."

Ten minutes later, Luo Bai arrived at the target coffee shop, which was still open for business and had quite a few customers.

After entering, Luo Bai found a seat near the back of the shop where he could see almost the entire interior and ordered a coffee.

After taking a sip of coffee, Luo Bai took out his phone and casually glanced at the customers in the store.

Then, they set their sights on a booth by the window.

Two women were sitting over there. One of them had long black hair with a white headband, wore a high school uniform, and had a beautiful face and an outstanding figure.

Sitting opposite her was a woman with long purple hair, wearing glasses and a white dress. She looked slightly older, more mature and elegant, and appeared to be thanking the high school girl.

She appeared harmless, but Luo Bai detected a similar aura emanating from this purple-haired woman to that of the two ghouls from before.

The other party's identity is now confirmed: a ghoul.

The high school girl, on the other hand, was just an ordinary human being and seemed unaware of what she was facing.

If there are ordinary people around, then we can't act directly; we need to think about it again.

After finishing their coffee, the two people over there also finished their coffee, got up, and left the coffee shop together.

Putting away his phone, Luo Bai got up and followed them out, putting on his Bluetooth earphones and following at a leisurely pace.

Ahead, the two people walking together were chatting.

The purple-haired woman said, "Shiyu, thank you so much today. Otherwise, I would have been at a loss as soon as I arrived here, with my wallet and phone stolen."

The black-haired girl smiled and shook her head: "It's alright, I just happened to run into them, of course I couldn't just ignore it. Don't worry, the police station isn't far from here, we'll be there soon. Once you report it, your things should be recovered quickly."
