Is it a problem to have a harem in a stranger heroine?

Is Tomoya Aki in a bad mood?

From the tone of Hashima Chuhai's voice, Bai Ye felt that the other party was hiding something. It was probably not just that Aki Tomoya was in a bad mood, but perhaps there was another more serious situation.

Bai Ye was a little confused. He didn't know what had happened to Aki Tomoya in recent days. Then he remembered that Aki Tomoya had invited Kato Megumi to have lunch with him this afternoon.

"Go back and ask Xiaohui, maybe she knows."

Hesitation will lead to failure. Since he knew that Hajima's attempt to invite Aki Tomoya had failed, Bai Ye felt that he should not hesitate.

"I'm planning on submitting my registration form after school on Thursday. What about you, Hasima-san?"

"I?"

Bodao pursed her lips and frowned slightly, giving people the feeling that she had something to say but didn't know how to express it.

Bai Ye smiled slightly. He understood that the other party didn't know how to ask for help from this "stranger" he just met.

It doesn’t matter, just speak up yourself!

"Hajima-san, are you free on Thursday? How about we go submit the application together? Bring your work and we can discuss it together on site."

Seeing the other party invite him, Bodao Chuhai, who had fulfilled his wish, no longer hesitated, stood up and bowed to express his gratitude.

"alright, thank you very much!"

Bai Ye shrugged, his eyes relaxed, and he didn't glance at the other person.

"We are all in the same boat, it's just a small effort."

He wanted to establish an image in Tomokazu Hamajima's mind that all his help was out of "fellow enthusiasts". He would not care about things that were not related to "fellow enthusiasts", just like he would not care about the relationship between Tomokazu Hamajima and Tomokazu Aki.

This is one of the ways that will least arouse the vigilance of Bo Island when going out to sea.

"Although I'm only an assistant to the manga artist, I'm looking forward to seeing what you'll create. Please let me read it."

"It's not really a formality, Senior Xiao is too polite!"

"Then, let's give each other works on the day of the summer comic convention."

"alright, thank you very much!"

Giving each other works at comic conventions is a symbol of friendship among like-minded people.

Of course, this is only limited to those who share the same interests.

This kind of give and take, where there is no need to consider status, and the feeling of communicating only in the field of shared interests without interfering with the rest of life, makes people feel physically and mentally happy when going out to sea on the island of Bo.

Bai Ye was also very happy. This was what he wanted to see, as it would help him hide his identity.

However, he still had to take precautions.

"Hajima-san, please don't tell Aki-san about the help I gave you."

"why?"

He expected Bodao Chuhai's reaction, but since he said it, it meant that Bai Ye was 100% sure that the other party would agree.

"Aki-san doesn't know that I'm going to the Summer Comic Con. If he knew, he would annoy me to death and I wouldn't be able to work properly."

This transaction is not complete, because only Bai Ye is "paying" and Bodao Chuhai is simply "accepting", so keeping the secret is a good reward.

There was another thing he had already laid out:

Aki Tomoyuki would also take the initiative to talk to his fellow comics fan about comics.

Considering that Tomihajima has a good impression of Tomihajima, there is only so much time. If Tomihajima comes to chat with him, then the time he spends chatting with Tomihajima will inevitably be reduced.

As Bai Ye expected, little stars twinkled in Bodao Chuhai's eyes. He hid the secret joy in his eyes and expressed his gratitude in words.

"Please rest assured, Senior Xiao, I will keep this secret!"

Chapter 207 A brief chat with Kato Megumi, to understand the girl's mind

After seeing off Bodao to go out to sea, Bai Ye rode his beloved little motorcycle and prepared to go home.

As for today’s visit to the merchants?

Putting that aside for now, chatting with Tomokazu Nakajima took up quite a bit of time. He now wanted to go home and call Kato Megumi to find out about Tomoya Aki's current situation so that he could make plans for the next step.

Summer nights always come later than in other seasons. Without the disturbance of the chirping summer insects, chatting seems more joyful.

Carrying the beef rice bowl he had bought, Bai Ye pushed open the door and sent Xiao Mi out of the house before dawn to exercise. Then he took out the iced lemon water from the refrigerator, turned on the air conditioner, and sat down on the floor next to the bed, his face full of satisfaction after the hard work.

"Take a rest and call Xiaohui later."

After eating a few pieces of beef slices to satisfy his craving, Bai Ye first opened the chat group. The latest message was the good night message sent by Kato Megumi last night. The cold and deserted atmosphere made him feel something was wrong.

In the past, Tomoya Aki would say a few words more or less to make his presence felt.

Several guesses immediately emerged in Bai Ye's mind, and then he shook his head.

"Instead of guessing, why not ask Xiaohui directly?"

After that, he made a video call to Kato Megumi.

beep...beep...

The video call that was not connected made Bai Ye look at the clock on the wall.

6 o'clock is dinner time for ordinary people.

"Maybe you didn't bring your phone to dinner?"

Bai Ye didn't take it to heart and finished his meal. When Kato Megumi came back and saw the missed call on her phone, he would naturally call back.

The facts were not beyond his expectations.

Five minutes later, Kato Megumi sent a video invitation.

"Senior, good evening~ Um... after dinner it should be good evening instead of afternoon, right?"

Bai Ye was stunned for a moment, not because of the rice grains stuck at the corners of Kato Megumi's mouth, but because of her current posture and clothes.

Surrounded by water vapor and with a seductive posture, it's a perfect picture after bathing.

A white towel was wrapped around her fair neck, and her light yellow pajamas were not put on properly because she had just taken a bath, revealing one side of her delicate collarbone. Water droplets flowed down the wet hair and fell on the bend of her collarbone, making Bai Ye's heart suddenly warm. He just wanted to fly to her side, hug this charming girl and give her a passionate kiss.

Kato Megumi's lips curled up slightly, and there was a glint of light in her eyes, but her expression was as blank as usual. She was wiping her hair with a towel.

"Senior, senior, are you stunned? If you stare at a girl who just took a shower, you will be suspected of being a hentai~"

"Ahem!" Bai Ye's old face turned red.

Kato Megumi seemed unaware of his embarrassment and continued to speak to herself:

"Senior, you're really good at choosing the right time to call. You chose to call me while I'm taking a shower. I wonder if you have any strange thoughts?"

"No, Xiaohui, you're talking about Java!"

Bai Ye raised his chest and said that he was an upright gentleman. Even if he really wanted to make out with Kato Megumi while washing and cleaning in the bathroom, Kato Megumi had to nod in agreement. Force was not an option.

"By the way, Xiaohui, your hair has grown longer. It's especially noticeable when it's wet."

"is it?"

Kato Megumi picked up a handful of hair and compared it. The short bob that reached her neck now just touched her collarbone. Compared with the past, it had a more gentle feeling that only girls with long hair have.

"It has indeed grown longer. Senior's eyes are so narrow, is it because he's been staring at girls all the time?"

white night"……"

"Xiaohui, I think you are deliberately setting a trap for me to fall into."

"No." Kato Megumi's expression remained unchanged, still seemingly indifferent, "I'm very happy that you can notice my changes~~"

If I noticed the changes in other girls, or didn't notice the changes in you, Xiaohui, you would be angry, right? I would definitely be angry, and then I would be mean to you, right?

I see through your disguise, Xiaohui!

Sure enough, no matter how gentle a girl is, she will be black when cut open!

"Is the senior having dinner?"

Bai Ye handed the bowl to her and said, "I bought a beef bowl with rice. I came back a little late today and didn't want to make dinner by myself."

"Yeah, thank you for your hard work. Did your work go well today, Senior?"

Kato Megumi's greeting made Bai Ye feel like a newlywed wife greeting her husband coming home from get off work at the door.

"She's a white rose indeed. This kind of thing is perfectly normal for Xiaohui."

"It went pretty smoothly. I got a lot of important information... By the way!"

Bai Ye slapped his forehead and suddenly remembered that his purpose of looking for Kato Megumi was not to chat, but to have important business. He couldn't help but sigh that he almost fell into her arms again.

Putting on a serious look, Bai Ye expressed his doubts.

"Xiaohui, is there something wrong with Aki-san today?"

"Yes, Amami-kun is in a bad mood today, but..." Kato Megumi stopped wiping her hair, touched her cherry lips lightly, and a hint of surprise and confusion flashed in her eyes, "How did you know this, senior?"

"If I tell you that I learned this from Hashima Chukai, Xiaohui might get jealous again."

The thought lasted only a second before he threw it out of his mind.

He said that he analyzed it from the chat group. Bai Ye was worried that the reason was not enough and would arouse Kato Megumi's suspicion, so he chose to tell a little lie.

"When I saw him with a gloomy face after school, anyone could tell he was unhappy."

"That's right..."

What was a bit surprising was that Kato Megumi gave Bai Ye a long look and pursed her cherry lips, giving him the impression that she had something to say.

"Senior, do you want to know what happened to Aki-kun?"

"Yes." Bai Ye nodded deeply, his pleading look obvious.

"OK then."

Kato Megumi told Bai Ye everything that happened after they separated at noon today, and Bai Ye's expression changed drastically, finally settling on "shocked".

"We were discovered having lunch together?"

Kato Megumi nodded, the calm expression on her face in stark contrast to Bai Ye.

"Yes, the date was discovered."

white night"……"

Xiaohui, didn’t you deny dating Tomoya Aki when you responded to him? Why are you admitting it now?

Inconsistency is not good!

"After that, if Amaki wants to tell you something, Xiaohui doesn't have to force it if it's something she can't say."

"It's not something forced."

Kato Megumi put down the towel, half lying on the table, her eyes half open and half closed, as if she was feeling sleepy after taking a bath. The distance between her and Bai Ye suddenly became closer, and he could even count her flawless eyelashes one by one.

However, Bai Ye could not ignore the affection revealed in her pale yellow eyes.

"She just said some vague things like she wanted me to be the heroine and that I should learn more about otaku. It was hard to understand."

"That's it..."

"I don't know why, but the unclear speech suddenly reminded me of my senior."

white night"!!!"

……

After figuring out the whole story, Bai Ye couldn't help but marvel at the ingenuity of fate.

If Aki Tomo hadn't discovered that he had lunch with Kato Megumi, he wouldn't have been depressed and angry, and he wouldn't have been able to successfully invite her when he met Namijima out to sea later.

"I've been using my luck a lot lately. Is it possible that I'm going to have bad luck someday?"
