"Hahaha, although I like to eat for free, I wouldn't do that to a child. Don't worry, everything you eat and play with this time is paid for!"

Although Nurarihyon is a mischievous old man, he still knows the importance of things.

In the past, if you went to a rich person's house to freeload, you naturally wouldn't care whether they paid you or not.

He certainly wouldn't do something like today's cultural festival, not to mention that Chiba is still Luo Yu's territory.

Soon, one luxurious dish after another was served.

Because the owner, Luo Yu, brought his entourage, the restaurant's head chef was unusually unleashing his full potential today, showcasing all his culinary skills and personally preparing every dish.

He cut off a piece of steak, popped it into his mouth, and chewed it heartily. Hisashi Itadori's eyes widened as he exclaimed with satisfaction, "It's so delicious! And the quality of this meat is amazing!"

After tasting a piece of grilled beef tongue, Luo Yu smiled and said, "Not bad, right? This meat is all high-quality beef carefully selected by the Mito family. You can't get this in ordinary restaurants."

Like Yuji Itadori, Kugizaki Nobara was immediately drawn to the dishes and ate heartily, not caring about gaining weight.

As for the gentian, although she ate very quickly, her movements were not at all rough; on the contrary, she remained very elegant. In no time, she finished a plate of roast meat and a plate of steak and began the third course.

Nurarihyon, Gojo Satoru, and Fushiguro Megumi ate much more slowly, chatting about all sorts of gossip as they ate.

Taking a sip of sake, Nurarihyon sighed and said, "Although the curse from Hagoromo Gitsune is gone, I didn't expect that kid still wouldn't consider finding a yokai partner and would still want to pursue that human kid. Young Luo Yu, can you give me some advice?"

"suggestion?"

After taking a bite of pasta, Luo Yu smiled and said, "I think it's best if you don't interfere too much in this kind of thing, Grandpa. Let him develop freely. Besides, he's still young, isn't he? Not to mention that yokai generally live long lives. Even though Nurarihyon only has a quarter of Nurarihyon blood, his lifespan will definitely be very long. And Grandpa, now that you've recovered, you can live for a long time. You'll definitely be able to hold your great-grandson."

"Maybe so, but I'm still really frustrated!"

As he spoke, he downed another sip of wine.

Luo Yu naturally couldn't solve Nurarihyon's troubles, since it was his family matter.

Moreover, Luo Yu also felt that Nura Rikuo was being a bit stubborn. He clearly had yokai blood, so there was no need for him to follow the rules of the human world so strictly.

For the commander-in-chief of the Nura Clan, building a harem is a piece of cake.

Luo Yu even felt that the Nura Clan's executives would be very supportive, and that the Nura Clan could have many more descendants.

With the Nura family having only one son per generation for three generations, things are indeed in a bit of danger.

Of course, he wouldn't say that himself; he's waiting to see what happens, how interesting!

The lively dinner time only ends at 8 p.m.

After leaving the restaurant, Luo Yu didn't see Nura Nurarihyon and the others off. The Nura Clan's car was already waiting outside. Nura Nurarihyon also took Gojo Satoru and the others with him, and they all went back to Tokyo together.

After the Nura Clan's car left, Luo Yu looked at Rindou beside him and said, "Are we going straight back now? Or do you want to wander around here a bit?"

Gentian happily raised its hand and said, "Let's take a stroll! I want to drink milk tea!"

"Didn't you get enough dessert after dinner?"

"Of course not, we're still missing a cup of milk tea! Let's go!"

With a smile that seemed to indicate he hadn't had enough, Longdan grabbed Luo Yu's arm and pulled him toward the commercial street ahead, full of energy.

Luo Yu went along with her and played there for another hour before the two returned to the manor.

Seeing the two return, Ichika, who was looking at the script that had been delivered with everyone, said angrily, "Hey! Rindan, you're so shameless! You dragged Yu-kun back until now!"

"Hehe, sorry, sorry, I bought you guys some delicious snacks~~~"

While apologizing, Longdan came over with two large boxes of pastries.

"These are some really nice snacks we just happened to see! Come and have a taste! Oh! The script has arrived, let me take a look!"

After walking over and putting down the snacks, Longdan picked up a script from the coffee table and opened it.

"Oh? This is a school drama, about high school seniors? It's about graduation season? This popular character's persona is quite suitable for Ichika!"

With a sweet tooth, May opened the snack box, picked up a cookie, took a bite, and said with a smile, "I actually think this supporting character, who just graduated from university, is quite good. The somewhat timid newcomer is quite a contrast to Ichika's real-life personality!"

Ichika, the main character, waved to Luo Yu.

"Yu Jun, come quickly and give me some advice!"

Chapter 617 Script, Ichika's Choice (2/2)

When Luo Yu sat down next to Yihua, he saw ten scripts on the coffee table, a number far more than he had expected.

Originally, when making the arrangements, Luo Yu only said that he would pick a few scripts that weren't too bad and find some roles suitable for Ichika.

But to my surprise, they found a total of ten scripts.

"There are quite a lot of them. Have you read them all?"

Yihua smiled and said, "Not yet, we've only read half of it. It was delivered at seven o'clock, so we're reading it rather slowly. Yu-jun, what do you think of it?"

Luo Yu took the script that Yi Hua handed him and started reading it.

It's a historical drama. The character is the daughter of a merchant family. She has a rather domineering personality and her storyline spans about four episodes. She is a fairly important supporting character, but in the end, she is murdered by the villain's entire family, resulting in a tragic ending.

Luo Yu quickly skimmed through the script; it was quite good, and the production team was almost ready, with filming scheduled to begin this month.

Furthermore, the filming location is in Chiba, so Ichika doesn't have to go too far. The lead actors are also quite good, and there are several veteran actors with over twenty years of experience.

Luo Yu nodded: "This script is indeed good, and the cast is also quite good. Let's put it in the preliminary selection first, and decide after we've read all of them."

And so, while everyone ate some snacks, they carefully read through all ten scripts they had on hand.

After a frantic selection process, among the three scripts chosen, Ichika ultimately selected the historical drama script that she had initially been eyeing.

This script is very different from the current Ichika in many ways, and it is quite challenging for Ichika.

Even if it's a supporting role, she needs to take it seriously.

Patting the script, Luo Yu said with a smile, "Since you've decided on this one, then tomorrow, Yihua, just talk to your agency directly, and they'll arrange everything for you."

"Yes, I'll do my best!"

Ichika's debut as an actress has been confirmed, and Eriri will officially become a manga artist as well.

The national tournament for Yotsuba is also underway, and Alice has become one of the top ten. She will soon begin field training with everyone.

The girls have all set new goals.

Stretching, Luo Yu said with a smile, "I had a lot of fun these past two days. The only thing missing is that Feng Shi, Meng Ye, and Xiao Gui didn't come."

It's not easy for Moe and Kei to get leave from Shuchiin, and Toyoshi also has professional classes these two days and can't miss them, so they can only regretfully miss this cultural festival.

Chika held her phone, searching for newly released board games, and said, "I told Mengye that it's okay to take a day off, but my parents disagreed. They said Mengye has been too playful lately and needs to calm down, so they didn't let her come."

Luo Yu also agreed with this.

Compared to other girls, Moeha is indeed a bit too playful, even more so than Chika.

After arriving in Chiba and living with Kaguya, Chika still enjoys playing and collecting board games, but she's become much better than before.

Only Meng Ye remained unrepentant, and now that she had Luo Yu as a new target, she had even less time to focus on her studies.

Although her grades haven't dropped yet, Mengye's parents don't want to wait until something bad happens before they try to stop it.

It's better to control it a little now.

"But tomorrow is Friday, so Mengye should be here by the weekend, right?"

Kaguya smiled and nodded: "That's right, Kei will be coming too. She called earlier and asked me a few questions I had while reading. She's planning to focus on studying this weekend as well. Compared to Moeha, Kei is much more composed. By the way, Chika, what are your plans for Moeha's future? You haven't already decided to have her follow Yu-kun and become a housewife, have you?"

"Ah, this."

Chika tilted her head and thought for a moment before saying, "Mom really didn't say anything specific. Neither of us three sisters are going to become diplomats, even though Toyomi and I have pretty good language skills. Well, I'm thinking that if I don't go into politics, I'll just be an English teacher or something. That would be easy for me, whether it's high school or university. Toyomi probably has similar thoughts to me, but I really don't know what Moeha is planning to do."

Will Chihaya enter politics?

Everyone present imagined the scene and shook their heads in unison.

Given Chika's personality, if she were a diplomat, she'd probably run into diplomatic problems every other day.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Chika waved her hands in dissatisfaction: "What kind of reaction is this? Do you look down on me that much?"

Luo Yu comforted Qianhua by pulling her into his arms and stroking her long hair, saying, "Although you do have considerable talent due to your upbringing, your personality can't guarantee you'll always be meticulous. We plan to live here for many years, so becoming a diplomat is out of the question. Besides, even if you don't become a diplomat, with us backing you up, no one will dare to disrespect you when you go out. Let others do those thankless tasks."

"Waaah! Even Yu-jun says so!"

Although she was quite upset, Chika herself wasn't really interested in being a diplomat, and her mood improved after a while.

After discussing the script and choices, it was almost time for everyone to pack up and go take a shower and rest.

I had a great time at the cultural festival for two days, but I still have to go to class tomorrow, Friday.

Tomorrow, Eriri will be going to Tokyo in the afternoon to sign a serialization contract and officially become a manga artist.

At one o'clock in the morning, leaning against Luo Yu's chest, Eriri finally recovered a little after catching her breath for a while. She hugged Luo Yu and said, "Yu-kun, let's go sign the contract after school tomorrow. Come with me!"

Stroking Eriri's golden hair, Luo Yu smiled and nodded, "Sure, let's go together then. Shiyu, what about you? Do you want to go?"

Shiyu, who had been resting for a while, squinted in bed and said, "Sure, I don't have anything else to do anyway. As a script assistant, I definitely have to join in the fun. Besides, I'm also very interested in Jump's headquarters!"

"Let's go together after school."

Stretching, Luo Yu looked at the two women and said, "So, are we going to rest now?"

"Of course not!"

Shiyu pulled Luoyu, who was holding Eriri, over.

"Eri's round is over, now it's my turn! Round two begins!"

Seeing Shiwa's boundless energy, Eriri, who had originally wanted to rest, also joined in again, unwilling to give up.

Chapter 618 Successfully Signed the Contract (1/2)

On Friday afternoon, after class, Eriri immediately packed her things and eagerly went to Luo Yu.

"Yu Jun, Yu Jun, hurry, we're about to leave!"

Luo Yu, who was packing his things, looked at Eriri and said with a smile, "So rushed? Has Ms. Sayuri arrived?"

"Mom's already here, she's driving today!"

"Okay, let's go then."

After packing her things, Luo Yu looked at Yukino and said, "Then I'm going to Tokyo with Eriri and Shiho. If I'm not coming back for dinner, I'll call you."

Luo Yu guessed that they would most likely have to eat out.

After all, Luo Yu's identity is complicated. Once the contract is signed, the editor-in-chief and senior executives of Jump will definitely invite him to dinner to have a good discussion.

Although Luo Yu didn't care about these things, Eriri was going to be a manga artist in the future, so he should at least get to know her first.

Yukino nodded: "I understand. Don't worry about us here. We'll go back together after everyone's finished."

After greeting Kaguya, Chika, and Ai, Luo Yu took Eriri out of the classroom.

After meeting up with Shiwa, the three of them left the school together and got into the car driven by Sawamura Sayuri.

Luo Yu sat in the passenger seat, while Eriri and Shiyu sat in the back.

Driving, Sayuri Sawamura said with a smile, "I really can't believe it! It hasn't been long, and Eriri is going to become a manga artist! And the progress is much faster than I expected. Luo Yu-kun, Shi Yu, thank you so much for your help to Eriri."

Luo Yu laughed and said, "I didn't help much. At most, I said a few extra words at the beginning. The creation of the manga was done by Eriri and Shiyu together. I only saw the first three chapters after Eriri finished them. Ms. Sayuri, you've seen them too, right? What do you think?"

Sayuri Sawamura said proudly, "I've been a homebody for over twenty years now, and Eriri's debut work as a manga artist is honestly really good. There aren't many food-themed manga, and even fewer that are famous. But because Eriri knows Erina and the others, she has a great source of material, allowing her to use the most professional culinary knowledge in a lighthearted manga. And with Utaha helping to build the story, it's really interesting. Although I've read three chapters, I still don't know anything about how the story will develop or the protagonist's identity!"

Speaking of this, Eriri, who was in the back seat, immediately leaned in and said smugly, "Hehe, Utaha and I won't tell you about the main characters and the restaurant's settings. You'll find out when you see it later!"

Then Shiyu said, "Of course, we'll see that much later."

Luo Yu understood the two's decision to keep it a secret, as it was likely one of the most important settings in the comic.

As the authors, Eriri and Utaha certainly wouldn't want such a setting to be revealed casually.

That would greatly diminish the sense of surprise.

Sawamura Sayuri laughed and said, "Of course! Predicting what will happen next is part of the fun of reading a serialized manga! But Eriri, being a manga artist is exciting, but it's a very tiring job, and you can't neglect your studies! Oh, by the way, aren't you really planning to hire an assistant?"

Eriri shook her head repeatedly: "Of course I won't confess! I'm strong enough on my own! One chapter a week won't tire me out at all!"

"That's it, that's good."

Sawamura Sayuri also knew that after her daughter gained magical powers through training, her physical fitness had also greatly improved, and the high-intensity manga work should not cause her any harm.

Moreover, with Luo Yu taking care of Eriri, Sawamura Sayuri has even less to worry about.

Soon, the car drove from Chiba to Tokyo and arrived at Jump's headquarters building.
