Daily Comics: Mystery Begins from Everyday Life

In the work room.

Sakurajima Mai just woke up and came here.

"Is this your new COS costume?" Mai Sakurajima looked at the two pieces of clothing on the mannequin hanger.

"That's right, what do you think?" Luotian asked confidently while holding Feiju in his arms.

"It's pretty good, but why is it so small?" Sakurajima Mai asked as she picked up the costume with a cloak.

"This Lobelia is for Qian Xinshou's sister. The two sisters have swapped heights. Let me show you the photo." As he said that, Luotian took out his cell phone and started looking for it.

"You still have photos?!" Sakurajima Mai frowned frivolously.

“There are a lot of her COS photos on SNS.” Luotian said as a matter of course.

"Um...oh, I see..." Sakurajima Mai took the phone that Luotian handed over, looked at it, and was immediately surprised.

“You didn’t expect that, did you? This is a high school student, a sophomore at that.” Luo Tian said with a smile.

"...If I hadn't met Qian Xinshou, I would never have dared to believe that this little girl was her sister." Sakurajima Mai sighed.

"This is the fact. Tomorrow she and Kitagawa will come to try on clothes. If there is no problem, we can go to the rented studio to shoot." Luotian said.

"Is this the one you went to see today?" asked Mai Sakurajima.

"Yes, it's in Xinsanxiang, a little far away." Luotian said.

"Why do we need a studio just to take some photos?" Mai Sakurajima asked puzzledly.

"Maybe he wants to recreate the scene in that animation. I don't really understand cosplay." Luo Tian shrugged indifferently, and then said, "By the way, Mai-san, I'm going out to buy some ingredients. Do you want to come with me?"

"Let's go out..." Sakurajima Mai glanced at the drizzle outside the window, then nodded and said, "Let's go together. If you don't mind, I can cook dinner."

"Is it true?" Luo Tian said with some anticipation, "Ever since I ate the curry rice made by classmate Mai last time, I have been thinking about it."

"First of all, let me make it clear! My cooking skills are definitely not as good as yours." said Mai Sakurajima.

"How could that be!? The curry rice we had last time was delicious!" Luotian praised.

"Young master, please let Feiju go with you!" said the white cat in Luotian's arms.

"Okay, let's go together." Luotian stood up, put the cat down, and then turned into a beautiful girl in a white dress in front of him.

"This is so amazing..." Sakurajima Mai, who had witnessed the whole process, exclaimed, and then left with Luotian.

On the way to the supermarket, Sakurajima Mai and Himari sandwiched Luotian on the left and right. The awkward atmosphere made Luotian ask: "Mai, what are you going to make for dinner?"

"Let's make a stew, and prepare some fried fish, fried shrimp, and curry mashed potatoes, and that's about it," said Mai Sakurajima.

"Fried fish?!" Himuri's eyes lit up, and it was obvious that her preference for fish had not changed.

"Then let the task of buying fish be left to Himuri." Luotian said with a smile.

"Okay." Mai Sakurajima nodded in agreement.

"Eh? Let me do it?" Feiju was flattered and eager to try.

Soon, the three of them arrived at the supermarket and went their separate ways after some discussion.

Twenty minutes later, the three of them walked back.

"Hehehe! I'm really looking forward to the delicious food that classmate Mai will cook." Luotian was holding two large bags of ingredients with a happy expression, while Himuri was holding her favorite fish with shining eyes, wishing she could eat it right now.

"By the way, Luotian, I also have something to tell you." Sakurajima Mai said.

"Huh? What's the matter?" Luotian asked expectantly.

"It's like this..." Sakurajima Mai thought for a moment and said, "The agency asked me to stop meeting you for the time being."

"What?" Luo Tian frowned frivolously, looking somewhat dangerous.

"Don't be so nervous." Sakurajima Mai smiled inexplicably and said, "The agency must have misunderstood that I'm the kind of idol that is forbidden to date. After all, in the past, I was alone."

"So what do you think?" Luotian threw the question back to Sakurajima Mai.

"This is not a question that I can decide alone~" Sakurajima Mai stopped, looked into Luotian's eyes and said, "Your decision is my decision."

"You definitely don't agree with my decision!" Luo Tian curled his lips and muttered, "What the hell! Can't idols fall in love? You're meddling too much..."

“???” Feiju, who didn’t understand any of this, looked at Luotian in confusion but didn’t interrupt.

"Okay, okay, don't be angry. I will reject the agency's proposal." Sakurajima Mai smiled gently and said, "Actually, I don't think it's necessary. After all, deception will be exposed one day."

"I'm not angry." Luo Tian shook his head and asked as he walked, "Student Mai, what is the contract you signed now?"

"Contract?" Sakurajima Mai blurted out, "It's a temporary contract. You said so."

"That's good." Luo Tian paused to think, then said, "Student Mai, do you remember that I said I wanted to open an office?"

"Yeah." Sakurajima Mai nodded slightly and asked, "Luotian, are you really going to open an office? Are you kidding?"

"Of course not!" Luo Tian rolled his eyes. "I have already found candidates for the agency manager and agent. I will take care of them in a few days, and then Mai-san will transfer to my side."

"I have no problem with that, but it takes a lot of money to open an office." Sakurajima Mai still wanted to persuade Luotian to think twice before acting, but she obviously underestimated Luotian's ability as he had started planning two months ago.

"Don't worry." Luo Tian looked confident of victory. "The candidates are all experienced veterans, and there is enough funding. Everything is going according to plan."

"Okay, notify me when the time comes and I'll terminate the contract with the agency." Mai Sakurajima agreed without hesitation.

If outsiders heard this, they would definitely feel sorry and call her stupid. After all, one is a popular idol with a bright future and a good reputation, and the other is a novice company with no resources. It is very likely that Sakurajima Mai will fall from the bright road to the quagmire, or even disappear and retire from the entertainment industry.

However, Luo Tian had already taken all these situations into consideration, so he chose Sakurajima Mai 717's mother Mariko Sakurajima as the manager, and then recruited Nanjo Fumika, who was familiar with the entertainment industry and had a wide range of friends, as his agent.

"By the way, classmate Mai, how capable is your current agent?" Luotian asked.

"Are you talking about Ms. Ryoko? She's a nice person and she respects me very much." Sakurajima Mai said, "She's also very good at humanistic communication. She's a very good agent."

"Then let's recruit her and let her continue to be your agent." Luotian suggested.

"Will this work?" Mai Sakurajima was a little skeptical. After all, when it comes to poaching, especially from a new company, most people would refuse without hesitation. After all, no one is stupid and would easily give up the job they have worked hard for.

"Sure." Luo Tian thought, "But I need classmate Mai to help me find out how much her salary and bonus are."

"These are not difficult. I will call Miss Ryoko to ask her when I get back." said Mai Sakurajima.

"Okay." Luo Tian agreed, and the three of them quickened their pace.

However, when the three of them had only walked a hundred meters away, they saw a girl in a sailor suit holding a small red umbrella under a tree in front of them.

That is

Luotian’s eyes lit up and he stopped beside the tree.

"Excuse me, what's wrong?" Mai Sakurajima asked politely.

"Um, this cat..." The girl in the sailor suit pointed at the kitten in the cardboard box.

"Young Master." Although she is not a demon, Himari still cares about her own kind.

"Abandoned little kitten..." Luotian handed the bag in his hand to Sakurajima Mai, then walked over, squatted, picked up the cat and looked under its belly.

"Um...what are you doing?" The sailor suit girl's voice was very soft and confused.

Well, it's a female cat.

After making his judgment, Luo Tian said to the girl in the sailor suit, "I'm confirming the gender. Do you want to take the cat back?"

"I...I want to take it back, but I have to go back and ask mom and dad first." The girl in the sailor suit said nervously, obviously she liked cats very much.

"In that case, just leave it with me first. After your parents agree, come to the [Rose] Doll Shop to pick it up. You know where the doll shop is, right?" Luotian looked at the girl and asked.

"Yes, I know." The girl in the sailor suit nodded slightly and thanked: "Thank you!"

"My name is Luotian, and I'm the store manager. If I'm not in the store, you can tell my name to the people in the store." Luotian explained.

"Yes!" The girl in the sailor suit responded with surprise, and then introduced herself: "My name is Makinohara Shoko, thank you very much, Mr. Luotian."

Chapter 201: Makinohara Shoko Arrives

The next day.

Eight in the morning.

Luotian was still sleeping in the room. Judging from the empty seat next to him, Sakurajima Mai did not leave last night but stayed overnight as usual.

"Crack!"

The door was opened and Mai Sakurajima, wearing an apron, walked in. She looked at the sleeping boy with a smile on his face, then leaned over and raised her hand.

"Luotian, wake up!" Sakurajima Mai pushed Luotian.

"What's wrong...?" Luotian narrowed his eyes and asked lazily.

"The girl I met on the road yesterday is here." Sakurajima Mai said, "If Tsui Xingshi hadn't told me that there was a little girl outside the store, I wouldn't have known."

"You mean Makinohara Shoko?" Luo Tian rubbed his glasses. "She should be here to take the cat. Let her take it away. I'll sleep a little longer..."

Seeing Luotian turning over with his back facing her, Sakurajima Mai raised her eyebrows slightly and used her killer move.

"Hiss!" Luo Tian instantly lost all sleepiness and sat up with his head tilted, "Mai-san, be gentle~ah~"

"Are you a pervert? Don't make such embarrassing sounds! People who don't know would think you have some special fetish..." Sakurajima Mai complained with disgust on her face.

"I'm just feeling the softness of Mai's little hand. There's absolutely nothing weird about it." Luotian's brows trembled slightly, and with a smile on his face he held Sakurajima Mai's little hand that was holding her ear, and carefully moved it away.

"You...are such a pervert..." Sakurajima Mai didn't pull her hand away, and let Luotian hold it, with a mature attitude as if indulging a child to make trouble.

"No, no..." Luo Tian said with a smile: "This is the reward I got from classmate Mai with great difficulty. The mature and generous classmate Mai should not mind that the junior enjoys the reward, right?"

"Hmph! I'm not that stingy!" Sakurajima Mai was as arrogant as ever, raising her head slightly with pride.

"As expected of an adult, Mai is such a mature and beautiful woman!" Luotian praised her irrelevantly.

"Even if you say that, you have to get up. People are waiting for you in the living room!" said Sakurajima Mai.

"What are you waiting for me for?" Luo Tian didn't waste any time. He got up, put on his clothes, and prepared to go downstairs.

"I didn't ask, but judging from her anxious expression, we might not be able to take the cat back." Sakurajima Mai analyzed, and walked out of the room with Luotian.

Soon, Luotian and Sakurajima Mai walked down the stairs and stood at the entrance to look over. Makinohara Shoko was holding a kitten and talking to Hinami with curiosity in her eyes.

"You go and take a look. There's porridge still cooking in the pot. I won't go over there." said Mai Sakurajima.

"Okay." Luo Tian nodded and said in a sympathetic tone, "Thank you for preparing breakfast, classmate Mai."

"Slippery... And Kaya is helping too." Sakurajima Mai raised her hand and poked Luotian's forehead. She seemed to be in a good mood and urged: "Go quickly."

"I understand." After saying that, Luotian walked towards the living room.

"Father, you're up!" Before she got close, Hinami discovered Luotian and ran towards him with full of anticipation.

"Hinamei, good morning!" Luotian picked up Hinamei and rubbed her smooth little face.

"Hehehe~ Good morning, father!" Hinami greeted with a happy smile.

"Good morning, father." Zhenhong greeted politely, but did not stay in his usual position, but stood at the armrest.

"Good morning, Zhenhong." Luotian responded with a smile, knowing that Zhenhong was concerned about the kitten held in Makinohara Shoko's arms.

After all, Zhenhong once had a dark history of being taken away by a cat and locked in a closet with a cat alone for several hours, so it is natural that she feels uncomfortable with cats.

"My dear father, how are you!" Mercury Lantern flew in front of Luotian, lifted her skirt and bowed slightly. Her etiquette was even more perfect than Zhenhong's.

"Good morning, Mercury Lamp." Luo Tian reached out and gently stroked Mercury Lamp's little face, and asked, "Where are Cang Xingshi, Cui Xingshi, and Jin Si Canary?"

"Father, they are on the rooftop." Mercury Lamp flew to Luotian's shoulder and sat down, leaning close to his ear and whispering, "Father, those two roses seem to be about to bloom..."

"I see." Luo Tian suggested, "Let's go see it together when it blooms."

"Yes, father!" Mercury Lamp responded happily, swinging her feet in high-heeled boots, expressing her inner joy.

"Manager Luotian, good morning!" Shoko Makinohara spoke politely, attracting everyone's attention.

"Good morning, classmate Mu Zhiyuan, you can just call me Luotian, no need to add the suffix." Luotian walked to the sofa and sat down, then asked: "I heard that you came to see me, is there anything?"

"Yes." Makinohara Shoko nodded slightly and said apologetically: "It was originally agreed that I would adopt it, but I just didn't dare to ask in front of my parents. I'm really sorry! Luotian... classmate."

"Mr. Makihara is really polite." Luo Tian just laughed at the suffix after his name, and then said, "No need to apologize. It's not a problem to take him away whenever you think it over."

"Thank you, that's great!" Makinohara Shoko smiled and asked, "By the way...can I...can I come and see it?"

"Of course." Luo Tian agreed without hesitation, and then said: "Before you take it away, you can come anytime, just think of it as learning how to raise a cat."

"Okay!" Shoko Makinohara nodded with a smile, looking very happy.

"Luotian, breakfast is ready~" Sakurajima Mai came over at some point and whispered, "She came quite early, maybe she didn't even have breakfast."
