"Okay, if you insist, we can adjust it to 25% for me and 15% for you. Is that okay?"

Shiina Riki thought about it and finally nodded.

"Okay, I can accept that."

At this moment, Kaname Rakuna, who had been quietly eating her matcha parfait, suddenly spoke, her tone as relaxed as if she was discussing the weather today.

"Actually, I don't need money. As long as I can keep playing guitar and participating in LIVEs with everyone, I'll be satisfied. If any interesting man feels sorry for Rikki, I can give her my share."

Uehara Hibiki looked at the cat girl in surprise and frowned slightly. It seemed that the cat ate too much matcha parfait today and didn't have time to transform into a human. This problem had been mentioned just now.

"Lena, you can't say that. Right now you're still a student and your parents give you pocket money, but in the future you'll need to support yourself. It's hard to say whether our current profit-sharing ratio will last forever, but at least there should be a set of rules."

In the face of Uehara Hibiki's earnest teachings, Kaname Rakuna shrugged nonchalantly, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a cunning cat-like smile.

"Anyway, in my opinion, everyone in the band is Xiang's harem. I'd rather let Xiang support us all in the future."

The moment these words were spoken, the air seemed to freeze. The girls looked at each other, their faces filled with shock and confusion. The café was so quiet that the whirring of the air conditioner could be heard.

Chihaya Aine was the first to react. Her voice was trembling. She stood up suddenly, and the chair scraped against the ground with a harsh sound. The tablet in her hand almost fell onto the table.

"Lena, you...when did you join the harem? How come I didn't know?"

Nagasaki Motoyo, with a rare look of concern, first glanced at Kaname Rakuna, then glanced at Uehara Hibiki, seemingly contemplating how to handle this sudden situation. Though she tried to maintain a smile, the grip on Hibiki's fingers suddenly intensified. Kaname Rakuna was only a year younger than them, but that one year difference made all the difference. Furthermore, Kaname's usual feminine demeanor made it easy for people to let down their guard, and Nagasaki Motoyo had never expected her to say such a thing.

"Hibiki, don't you want to explain?"

Uehara Hibiki was also confused and hurriedly waved his hands to explain.

"Wait, everyone calm down. My relationship with Lenai has always been normal. I haven't had time to…"

That's right, although Uehara Hibiki did have this evil intention and did announce his band harem plan, he really hasn't had time to implement his strategy against Kaname Rakuna. After all, the cat girl's thinking cannot be guessed casually.

"really."

At this time, Shiina Riki calmed down.

"After all, if it was really Xiang who did it, he wouldn't hide it and would definitely show off in front of everyone."

The incisive analysis left Uehara Hibiki speechless.

So, everyone turned their attention to Yao Lenai again. At this time, this kind of statement could not be fooled by pretending to be a cat.

I saw Lena tilt her head, her heterochromatic eyes filled with a strange magic, and her tone was a bit willful, yet also mixed with a bit of seriousness.

"Because interesting men are great and can form a band that lasts a lifetime, and I think a harem is great and can make the band more united, so I want to join too."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere became even more eerie.

Should I say she is worthy of being a cat? I always feel that what she says has nothing to do with normal love.

Shiina Riki took a deep breath, tried to stay calm, and tried to teach the cat girl.

"Le Na, a harem relationship is not something most people can accept. Besides, love requires mutual affection between both parties. You can't just join in if you want to."

Kaname blinked, her face still showing that innocent expression.

"Like each other? I like Xiang, but doesn't Xiang like me back?"

This sentence is like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.

Accompanied by five pairs of burning eyes, Uehara Hibiki coughed lightly and showed a gentle smile, once again showing his shameless talent.

"Of course I like Lenai, and everyone. But..."

"but?"

Kaname demanded, tilting her head like a curious kitten.

"But Lenai needs to first distinguish between different kinds of likes. Liking and liking are still different."

"so complicated……"

Want Lenai to be silent for a moment, then suddenly move closer, and then the cat pounces, the cat opens its mouth, the cat sticks out its tongue, and the cat's mouth is gagged by the palm of the hand.

"Don't you, Xiang, love kisses the most? Isn't this kind of love enough? Or do you want to be in heat..."

"Okay, don't say any more."

Uehara Hibiki decisively covered Kaname Rana's mouth with his hand. If he continued, although the band members might not be angry, senior Rinrinko, who was watching the show from a distance, would call the police.

According to the system dashboard, Lenai's progress in the game was 30/100, which was right at the first stage threshold, the critical point of love. There was no doubt Lenai was definitely in love with Uehara Hibiki, but even she herself had never fully explored her feelings, acting purely on her cat-like instincts.

Therefore, before the cat girl has completely transformed into a human, Uehara Hibiki has no intention of doing anything careless with the cat. He is a pure love warrior.

"If Lenai is willing, we can go on a date in a few days and then slowly go through the formalities. Once Lenai understands what true love is..."

Uehara Hibiki gently stroked the cat girl's silver hair, as if he was petting a cat.

"I will definitely invite Lenai to join the harem as well."

"Wow, he said something scary without hesitation. As expected of Reiwa's harem king."

Chihaya Aine deliberately "whispered" in Nagasaki Suyo's ear, but her voice happened to be heard clearly by everyone.

"Yes, I am the harem king, so please give me your guidance in my future life."

Uehara Hibiki's smile was fearless.

Chapter 138: Application and Masked Alliance.

Faced with Uehara Hibiki's proposal, the girls said happily... forget it.

Although the original income distribution ratio has been almost agreed upon.

But now that Lenai is leading the charge...

"I think the figure we just discussed is inappropriate. I don't need that much money."

Chihaya Aine also rarely became shy, and Nagasaki Motoyo and Shiina Tatsuki beside her also had a special light shining in their eyes.

“I think what Aine said makes sense.”

"Indeed, it's better for Captain Hibiki to decide alone."

It was very rare that Su Shi and Li Xi actually took a positive and supportive attitude towards Aine's words. After all...

("Losing to Deng is understandable, but it feels weird when my opponent is Lenna!" x3)

Uehara Hibiki quickly figured out what these three people were thinking. Since Lenai was unwilling to take the money on the pretext of entering the harem in the future, then they, as her official girlfriends, were even less likely to take it.

Otherwise, wouldn't that be putting my feelings for Uehara Hibiki below Kaname Rakuna's "love"? Oh, that's still the jealousy that just can't be vented.

But, how should I put it, can this also be considered as being obsessed with male beauty?

Uehara Hibiki can only be thankful that he is a pure love warrior who protects everyone's love through the harem.

"Deng, what do you think?"

Uehara Hibiki started winking at Deng, it’s time to tell the truth!

So, the penguin girl decisively understood Uehara Hibiki's radio waves.

"Hibiki...I think...I...I will always believe in Hibiki."

Very good, this is a patient with difficulty making a decision, and she gave her true feelings to Uehara Hibiki.

"Since no one is expressing their views, then I will speak up."

Uehara Hibiki snorted softly, having already thought of a new way of persuasion.

"You all know that as high school students, when you sign a band contract in the future, you will need your guardian to sign it as well."

So?

Seeing the confusion in Aine's eyes and Nagasaki Suyo who seemed to understand something, the smile on Uehara Hibiki's face became even brighter.

"So, if we don't come up with a profit-sharing ratio and I keep all the income, and that's reflected in the contract, your parents will definitely ask for the specific reason. Then, our relationship will be exposed, and I might even come to visit you with the marriage application and the contract."

“Marriage application!!!”

At the word "marriage," Chihaya Aine nearly choked on her saliva, her face turning redder than her hair. Shiina Tatsuki froze, her computer seemingly steaming from her head. Takamatsu Teru huddled her face in her notebook with a low exclamation, but her reddened ears betrayed her.

In the silence that shocked everyone, Nagasaki Suyo was the first to laugh out loud.

"I've been caught off guard. Indeed, Mother won't overlook any suspicious details in the contract. We'll have to discuss the income distribution."

The girls were stunned for a moment, then realized that Uehara Hibiki was joking.

Chihaya Aine pouted and gave Uehara Hibiki a pink punch.

"Xiang! Please stop scaring me! What contracts, what marriages? That's too much!"

Although Chihaya Aine's secret love affair had long been discovered by her mother, who had a life talk with her and encouraged her to seize true love, Chihaya Aine was not yet ready to tell her parents that her boyfriend was having a harem.

This is a bit outrageous no matter how you look at it.

Even though she had been spoiled since she was a child, Chihaya Aine still didn't dare to test her parents' thoughts in this place.

But... even though she complained, Chihaya Aine still felt a little sweet in her heart when she thought of the word "marriage".

As for the other girls, they all had the same idea.

As a boyfriend, Hibiki Uehara is undoubtedly perfect. He is the type of person you can introduce to your parents without worrying about being criticized. The only drawback is that he has too many girlfriends, which must be kept secret for the time being.

"Although it's a joke, it's really serious. Even if the band has any future developments, it has to be something everyone is willing to do, and nothing else can be mixed in. As for the harem..."

Uehara Hibiki paused and reiterated his thoughts.

"We've only just stepped halfway into our profession, and everything we do now is a preview of what's to come. I insist that money and emotions must be kept separate, and this must be clearly spelled out in the contract. We can't act solely on emotion. This is to prevent future disputes in this area."

Honestly, although Uehara Hibiki considers himself the core of the band, he can't let all five girls revolve around him. As bandmates, they also need to have a corresponding emotional connection. Now there is the uncontrollable factor of jealousy. As a master of balancing, Uehara Hibiki is determined to eliminate the financial factor at all costs to avoid unnecessary entanglements between the girls.

Hearing Uehara Hibiki's slightly serious words, Shiina Riki couldn't help but shrink his head and blame himself, with a hint of shame in his tone.

"I'm sorry, I was impulsive just now. You were obviously thinking about the band all the time."

"Rikki, stupid!"

"Shut up, Wildcat. It was all your fault."

Kaname Rakuna didn't feel embarrassed at all. She walked up to Uehara Hibiki with a smile and sat directly on his lap, then squinted her eyes in satisfaction like a cat that found a fireplace.

"Hibiki said he likes me, so I'm part of the harem. This is already confirmed, and there's no objection from stupid Rikki."

Uehara Hibiki was at a loss for words and shook his head helplessly.

"You guy, there's really nothing I can do about you."

"Ah!!! How annoying, you wild cat!"

For some reason, besides sticking to Hara Hibiki, Kaname Rakuna also likes to bicker with the second owner, Shiina Ritsuki. She even learned the nickname Rikki from Aine and uses it to perfection.

Nagasaki Suyo chuckled, released her grip on Xiang's hand, and gently combed Lenai's raised ahoge hair.

"Okay, stop it, Lenai. Don't deliberately make Riki angry. Hibiki, let's settle the income distribution."

Just when the wild cat's provocative behavior had just ended, Takamatsu Deng finally woke up from his single-threaded thinking.

"Indeed, income distribution is necessary, because Daddy watched a TV program that said that property must be clearly divided before marriage."

Gao Songdeng's words successfully killed the silence, but created even greater embarrassment.

Uehara Hibiki couldn't help but think, this art of speaking... to some extent, Deng's flash of inspiration is indeed comparable to Wakaba Mutsu's.

In the end, after a pleasant yet awkward discussion, everyone returned to Li Xi's revised second version of the plan.

Gao Songdeng looked at everyone who seemed a little strange, not knowing what he had said wrong again, so he had to turn his gaze back to the rain outside the window.

“It’s raining hard… but it will eventually stop and the sky will clear up… The rainy season is here, and I feel like I can write a lot of lyrics.”

Nagasaki Suyo wasn't surprised. After all, Deng, like her, was a duo who would never forget Crychic, and they were filled with sentimentality about rainy days. But...

"Is it raining again? Then I'll look forward to it."

Now Nagasaki Suyo can understand Deng's cry from her lyrics and resonate with her own heart.

so……

"How is Xiangzi now on such a rainy day?"

Now that she had reconciled with the past, Nagasaki Suyo openly turned the topic to Xiangzi.

"Huh? You mean Xiangzi? She told me during lunch break today that she had gathered all the members of AveMujica and could start rehearsing soon."
