My fiancée Yukino

Luo Bai smiled and nodded: "Good afternoon, come in quickly."

He beckoned the two of them in and took the things from their hands.

Yui Yuigahama brought sweets, while Hachiman Hikigaya brought fruit.

Upon entering the living room, the two saw Haruno sitting with Yukino.

"Ah, it's Yukino's older sister! Good afternoon, Haruno-nee!"

Yang Nai smiled and said, "Good afternoon, welcome to our home."

Yukino served coffee and juice to the two of them, and Luo Bai also brought over plates of fruit and snacks.

Seeing that Yuihama's attention was focused on the two cats not far away, Luo Bai said with a smile, "So, are our two cats scared? If they are, I'll lock them in the room for now."

Yui Yuigahama shook her head and said, "It's alright, I'm not that scared. Besides, these two cats aren't very big, so I'm even less afraid."

Compared to the two cats here, Yui Yuigahama is more afraid of wild cats in the wild, which is due to her childhood experiences.

For pet cats like Ragdolls, the fear is actually not too bad, and they are not alone here.

Hearing Yui Yuigahama's words, Yukino breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, everyone drank tea, ate snacks and fruit, and played games together.

This was Yui Yuigahama's first time playing these kinds of games, so we mainly let her experience some simple but fun ones first, such as Mario Odyssey, which was quite fun to play with the controller and swing her hat.

Meanwhile, Hachiman was browsing through Rabe's dazzling collection, selecting the game he wanted to borrow.

Picking up the Octopath Traveler 2 game box, Hachiman Hikigaya said in surprise, "This game, didn't I see you had a digital version on your machine just now? How come you also have a physical copy?"

“Digital versions are more convenient to play, while physical versions are more for collecting,” Luo Bai said with a smile. “It’s quite a hassle to keep inserting cartridges and switching games, isn’t it?”

Hachiman Hikigaya shook his head, took out the game box and put it aside: "You have money, I'll lend you this game. I've already played the first one, but I haven't bought the second one yet. You should have finished it by now, right?"

"Okay, I've cleared it. Would you like some tips for the early game?"

"Then no need," Hachiman Hikigaya said confidently. "I wouldn't presume to say anything, but I used to write game guides online!"

"Really? You've even written game guides?"

"Not many, I've only written one."

What game?

Final Fantasy XV!

"Ugh, what a terrible game that ended badly."

Upon hearing the game's name, Luo Bai instantly lost all interest in finding and studying Hachiman's strategy guide.

He bought FF15 at launch, hoping to experience a next-generation, epic open-world Final Fantasy game, but the experience was really not good.

The initial storyline was rushed, with many parts added by subsequent DLCs, and it wasn't even finished in the end. The Luna DLC became a project that seemed like it would never be completed in a lifetime.

This has led to Lothar losing interest even now that FF16 has been released, and he's just waiting for the sequels to the FF7 remake.

Hachiman agreed with Luo Bai's assessment, and the two of them, while complaining together, picked up a game they didn't own.

Volume 1: Chapter 130 Kasumigaoka Utaha's Invitation (1/2)

On the girls' side, after the initial learning phase, Yui Yuigahama has begun to experience the fun of the game.

The Mario series, in particular, is easy to get started with, and the Odyssey series offers a lot of fun, making it even more suitable as a beginner's game.

After borrowing the game he wanted, Hachiman Hikigaya sat down on the sofa, eagerly took out his Nintendo Switch, inserted the cartridge, and started playing Octopath Traveler 2.

After clearing one map, Yui Yuigahama exclaimed excitedly, "Yay! We cleared it! Yukino, can I try Zelda next? I saw the commercials for it on TV last night!"

Yukino readily agreed: "Okay, I'll create a new save file for you so you can experience it from the beginning. The tutorial at the start will give you a clear understanding of how to play the game."

Starting Kingdom Tears, the initial content of this game doesn't require much guidance from Yukino. There aren't many operational skills involved, and the game knowledge that Hihama just learned, along with the in-game tutorials, is sufficient.

Upon hearing the introductory sound effects, Hachiman Hikigaya, who was playing Octopath Traveler, looked up, glanced at the game, and then asked Luo Bai, "How much content have you completed?"

"Not much." Luo Bai shook his head. "We've finished the initial area and are now exploring the underground area."

"Ah, that's about the same as me. I feel like we'll be able to play for a long time this time."

Luo Bai agreed. He hadn't expected this new Zelda game to have so much content; it certainly looked like it would last a long time, and the new building features were also very interesting.

Just as Luo Bai was watching Yui Yuigahama play the game's opening scene, his phone rang.

Upon picking it up, he discovered it was a message from Kasumigaoka Utaha, the girl he had saved last week.

Luo Bai was stunned for a moment when he saw the message on his phone.

[Luo Bai, excuse me, are you free tomorrow? I'd like to invite you to dinner as a thank you for saving me last time.]

Let's eat.

Looking at this message, Luo Bai had a headache. Should he accept the invitation or not?

After thinking for a moment, Luo Bai looked at Yukino sitting next to Yuihama and decided that he still had to tell her.

"Yukino, come here for a second, I need to talk to you about something."

Seeing Luo Bai call her and stand up, Yukino quickly followed, and the two went to the bedroom together.

After the bedroom door closed, Yui Yuigahama, holding the controller, asked curiously, "What's going on?"

Yang Nai tapped her chin with interest and chuckled, "I don't know, Yui, a monster has appeared!"

"what!!!"

In the bedroom, after the two entered, Luo Bai handed the phone to Yukino.

Looking at the message on her phone, Yukino narrowed her eyes and then handed the phone back to Luo Bai.

"They invited you; it's up to you to decide."

"really?"

Although Yukino said that, her father still noticed the unnaturalness in her expression.

He pulled Yukino into his arms and the two lay down on the bed.

Stroking Yukino's hair, Luo Bai said, "If you don't want me to go, then I'll refuse her."

Admittedly, the other person is very beautiful, but Luo Bai would not do something like picking up a sesame seed and losing a watermelon. The person in front of him is his childhood sweetheart and his fiancée.

Although Yang Nai's matter was already in place, Luo Bai didn't want to create any more trouble for himself, as he wouldn't be able to handle it.

Leaning against Luo Bai's chest, Yukino shook her head and said, "It's not that serious. I didn't intend to do anything. They're just thanking you for saving their lives, so go see them."

Aren't you jealous?

Yukino looked up at Luo Bai and asked, "What's the use of being jealous? I can't stop other people from liking you."

Yukino has gradually come to understand that although Luo Bai's feelings for her remain unchanged, his abilities mean that other girls will inevitably meet him and fall in love with him in the future.

Yukino didn't want to see this happen, but she didn't know what to do.

So she simply chose to ignore it and let it be.

Luo Bai was surprised by Yukino's answer and didn't know how to respond.

Seeing Luo Bai's bewildered expression, Yukino smiled, reached out and touched his cheeks, and kissed him.

A minute later, Yukino released Luo Bai, her face slightly flushed, and said, "I've been reading this message for a long time, hurry up and reply, I'll go out first."

Watching Yukino leave the bedroom, Luo Bai sat up in bed, touching his lips in confusion: "Is Yukino using a retreat as a tactic? I don't understand."

However, since Yukino had no objections, Luo Bai decided to go and meet her.

After all, Kasumigaoka Utaha's fate is different from before; she has now become Nagatsuki Minami's assistant, so it's definitely a good idea to get to know her.

Thinking of this, Luo Bai picked up his phone and replied to the message.

I understand. I'll be there on time tomorrow.

The message was marked as read in less than five seconds after it was sent, which means the other party had been watching the phone the whole time.

[I'll send you the restaurant information later tomorrow at 5 PM. Thank you for agreeing to come!]

Five o'clock? Okay, see you tomorrow.

Okay, see you tomorrow!

Meanwhile, in Nanami Nayuki's office, Kasumigaoka Utaha, sitting at her desk, looked at the message on her phone and smiled expectantly.

"Oh, I'm having dinner with him tomorrow, so I need to buy a new outfit later!"

At that moment, the door to the back office opened, and Nangong Nayue, dressed in a black Gothic Lolita outfit, walked out.

"Shiyu, go home as soon as you're done with your work. I'm leaving now."

Seeing that Nangong Nayue was leaving so early, Kasumigaoka Utaha asked curiously, "Miss Nangong, is there some unexpected event?"

After spending a week together, Kasumigaoka Utaha was completely certain that this guardian, who looked like a little girl, was actually an adult, or at least older than herself.

Although it felt a little strange at first, I got used to it after a few days.

Nangong Nayue shook her head: "No, that's not it. Someone invited me to dinner tonight, so I plan to go home to prepare and then go over."

"Huh? Could it be her boyfriend?"

"No, that's not it." - Nangong Nayue

He denied it, saying, "Sakurajima Mai, you know her, right? She's the one who treated me to dinner."

"Sakurajima Mai? Is she that up-and-coming actress who recently changed agencies and made a comeback?"

“That’s right, it’s her. I helped her out a little before, and now that she has my contact information, she wants to thank me and invite me to dinner.” As she spoke, Nangong Nayue looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha, “Speaking of which, she and Luo Bai are from the same school and even the same club.”

"kindness?"

Upon hearing this, Kasumigaoka Utaha instantly became alert.

Volume 1: Chapter 131 TV Program, Hoshino Ai? (2/2)

As Kasumigaoka Utaha, who is currently writing a romance novel, has read countless related materials. Now that the situation has come to her, she immediately thought of many possibilities.

Although she could say it was love at first sight, Kasumigaoka Utaha was certain that Raiha was an exceptionally outstanding member of the opposite sex.

Mai Sakurajima is an extremely beautiful woman, and with the added advantage of being an actress, Kasumigaoka Utaha immediately became wary of this woman she had never met before.

No matter how vigilant she was, Kasumigaoka Utaha would never have imagined that Sakurajima Mai was actually living next door to Rakuhaku.

Nangong Nayue was fully aware of all of this, but she wouldn't say it herself.

Rather than letting others say it, she wanted Kasumigaoka Utaha to understand for herself and make her own decision.

Seeing Kasumigaoka Utaha's constantly changing expressions, Nagatsuki Minami smiled.

"Alright, that's all for now. I'm going back."

"Ah, okay, see you tomorrow, Miss Nangong."

"Okay, see you tomorrow. I'm leaving the firm in your care."

After Nanami Nagatsuki left, Kasumigaoka Utaha patted her cheeks and perked up to start working on her tasks.

She needs to finish the Guardians' work for the next two days as soon as possible, and then go shopping for clothes!

Let's turn our attention back to Luo Bai.

After replying to Kasumigaoka Utaha, Luo Bai left the bedroom and returned to the living room.

Upon seeing Luo Bai return, Yang Nai immediately asked, "Xiao Bai, what were you two talking about in the bedroom just now? I asked Yukino, but she won't tell me!"

"It's nothing major, someone's treating me to dinner tomorrow."

After sitting down in his original seat, Luo Bai shook his head and said, "I won't be having dinner with you tomorrow, but Mai-senpai should be here."

Yang Nai glanced thoughtfully at Luo Bai: "Sigh... Someone's treating you to dinner. Where is it, in Chiba?"

No, Tokyo.

"Oh, Tokyo."

Yang Nai understood; it was most likely someone from that side.

Although her thoughts were a bit off, they were mostly correct, so Yang didn't ask any further questions.
