"But in Japan, people can get married at the age of 16. I can't understand this." Bai Ye shrugged.

"Maybe it's because I want to meet the right person at the best age and keep the best memories."

Seeing the light flashing in Hajima's eyes, Bai Ye nodded and continued the conversation.

"Have you filled out the application?"

"All that's missing is my past experience."

"Okay, then just write as I say."

Bai Ye took out a piece of white paper, condensed the advantages of going out to sea on Bo Island into a short sentence, wrote it on the paper and asked her to copy it.

Although Bai Ye's writing skills are not as good as Shi Yu's, when it comes to refined official language, he is the best as he has worked hard in society.

Seeing that the column of past experiences was filled up, Bo Dao Chu Hai exclaimed in disbelief.

“I didn’t expect to be able to write so much. It feels so seamless.”

"This is just a stepping stone. The beautiful decorations on the facade are just fleeting. Whether you can gain favor depends on your ability."

The strength and charm displayed by Bai Ye have impressed Hajima Chukai, and he will follow his advice on all matters concerning the summer comic exhibition.

"Hmm, what should we do next?"

"Pack up your doujinshi and drawings and submit them along with the registration form."

"it is good!"

Bo Dao Chu Hai packed up the drawings swiftly, took a deep breath, and walked to the reception counter with the registration form and brown paper bag, respectfully handing them to the black-clad swordsman.

"Here are my registration forms and comics. Please accept them."

"Okay, I've received the application form. I'll give you a reply in about two weeks, closer to summer vacation. Please keep an eye out for our calls and messages."

"Yes, it's hard work."

Bai Ye and the black-clad swordsman smiled at each other and nodded, which happened to be seen by Hajima Chukai.

After leaving the reception counter, Hajima Chukai asked the doubts in his mind.

"Senior Xiao, do you know that black-clad swordsman? I saw you two were greeting each other."

"We just met. I chatted with him when I submitted my application form and it seemed like we got along quite well."

Bai Ye said this with narrowed eyes, which was one of the few times he said something insincere.

He and the black-clad swordsman had indeed just met, and he used some special methods to make the other party remember him.

When handing in Eriri's registration form, he gave her a few 5% off coupons for Caffee's House.

It's not for Eriri, but for going out to sea with Namijima.

According to his observation, the black-clad swordsman should be the person in charge of the registration office, and he promised him some benefits in exchange for an opportunity to mention the trip to Bo Island during the review meeting.

This is the only purpose Bai Ye wants to achieve. He has no intention of giving Bodao Chuhai a "backdoor". He just wants to give Bodao Chuhai a chance to enter the review vision. Whether it can get the opportunity to participate in the exhibition depends on the strength of Bodao Chuhai.

It's not that he doesn't have the ability to "take the back door". How could any business activity be without some tricks? It's just that he disdains to use it, and also wants to maintain the purity of the Summer Comic Expo among his fellow enthusiasts.

At this time, Bo Dao Chu Hai pointed to a picture on the wall.

"Senior Xiao, is this a diagram of the Summer Comic Con booth?"

"Yes." Bai Ye looked at the booths on both sides of the aisle. Those must be the prime booths that the participating authors are most eager to get. "Hajima-san, do you have a favorite booth? Now you can start thinking about it."

"It's too early. I don't even know if I'll be eligible to choose the gold booth."

"Have some confidence in yourself, you are awesome!"

There is another reason why Bai Ye doesn't want to "take the back door": to maintain his image in the eyes of Bodao Chuhai.

People of this age group are arrogant, high-spirited, and ambitious. It is normal for them to not believe that they are worse than others, and it is their mentality to disdain other people's charity.

Gifts for White Night are also carefully selected, and coupons are the best choice.

Even if the truth is revealed in the future, they can use "gift between friends" as an excuse; if it is not discovered, it is equivalent to making one more friend. I believe that Eriri and Hatima will go out to participate in comic conventions more often in the future. It is always better to prepare for a rainy day.

"Senior Xiao, what position do you expect to get?"

"The golden stall is for sure. I still have great confidence in my cartoonist."

"Oh, you look very confident!" Bodao Chuhai took out his phone to check the time. "It's almost 5 o'clock. Senior Xiao, let's go eat. If I go home too late, my brother will be worried. If they find out that I'm out with boys, I'll be gossiped about for a long time."

Bai Ye nodded, and he noticed the word "again".

If I'm not mistaken, Hamashima Chukai should have gone out with Aki Tomoya recently.

"Let's go. I know there's a good shop nearby. Let's sit there and chat. I also want to ask Senior Xiao about some things about Senior An Yi."

……

The coffee shop chosen by Bodao Chuhai had an elegant environment. Bai Ye looked at the decoration and knew that the price would be high. He also noticed that Bodao Chuhai raised his eyebrows when he looked at the menu.

Bai Ye thought that Boshima Chuhai's family background should be average, so it would be no problem for him to spend money occasionally in a cafe of this level, but setting up a stall at a comic convention would cost a lot of money, which was a big burden for a junior high school student who relied on saving pocket money.

If the other party was Shiyu or Eriri, Bai Ye could accept the thanks calmly, but since the other party was Hashima Chuhai, he had to think about it and not let her spend too much money.

"Hajima-san, let's split the bill."

"Because I had Ye Jun's first kiss."

"I will protect Ye Jun's virginity."

"It is our duty to restore my wife's glory."

"Holding hands is considered a success."

Seeing them speaking like this, Tian Ye was a little scared. Although the last one had a strange style, he still had to shout out

"Don't come over here!"

Chapter 218: The strength of the island and the small thoughts

"Hajima-san, let's split the bill."

"Ok?"

Podao Chuhai raised his eyebrows and quietly looked up to observe Bai Ye's expression. He found that the other party was looking at the menu with a nonchalant expression, as if he was talking about something as ordinary as eating and drinking.

She is a very strong-willed girl and will try her best to fulfill what she promised to others. Bai Ye's suggestion of going Dutch made her feel a little looked down upon, even though he meant to take care of her.

But she still wanted to hear Bai Ye's explanation, in case she misunderstood the other party.

"Since we agreed to treat you, Senior Xiao, please don't be polite~!"

Seeing Bodao Chuhai's awkward but polite smile, Bai Ye also understood that the other person had a strong personality and sighed inwardly.

She had seen this expression on Shiyu before. When she was stubborn about her feelings for Aki Tomoya, she kept fighting despite repeated failures, and she had this unyielding look on her face.

The advantage is that he is constantly striving for self-improvement and faces difficulties head-on, which may lead to unexpected miracles. The disadvantage is that he is too stubborn. If he encounters a mountain that is difficult to climb, he will not turn back even if he gets a bloody head, and he does not know how to bow his head and ask others for help.

With the experience of Shiyu, Bai Ye gradually understood how to deal with girls with this kind of personality, but Hasima Demi and Kasumigaoka Shiyu are different girls, and their experience can only be used as a reference and not copied.

What Bai Ye wanted to achieve was naturally to weaken the unnecessary arrogance of Bodao Chuhai, at least to make the other party understand the necessity of asking for help, so that they could swallow their pride and come to him for a "transaction".

"Hajima-san, you misunderstood. Besides being a manga artist's assistant, I'm also a food blogger. I've wanted to come to this restaurant for a long time, and I wanted to order a few more snacks this time. It would be unfair if you had to treat me for everything."

Hasima Chukai thought it made sense. Her plan was to treat everyone to a drink and some snacks. The prices in this cafe were a little beyond her expectations. She had been saving money for several months in order to attend the summer comic convention and she couldn't let her efforts go to waste here.

"Senior Xiao is also a food blogger? He seems to have a wide range of interests."

"It's all about interest, so just treat it as a small business and start working hard. Who knows, there might be unexpected rewards in the future."

"Oh~~ I understand. I just liked drawing at first, but I never thought I'd have the opportunity to participate in the Summer Comic Con!"

"That is to say, persistence always pays off."

As they chatted, Bai Ye had already decided on the menu.

Since the AA system was proposed to reduce the burden on Bodao Chuhai, Bai Ye naturally could not order too expensive snacks, but he had to play the whole show, so he had to order a few more. At the same time, he also had to let Bodao Chuhai know that he understood her difficulties, so that Bodao Chuhai could accept this sincerity with peace of mind.

Otherwise, it would be useless if you were just foolishly moving yourself but the other person didn't understand your gentleness.

"I want sea salt cake, Japanese-style milk cake, Black Forest cake and a cup of English black tea. What would you like, Hasima-san?"

"Then I'll have peach cake and a cup of English tea."

Bai Ye sighed:

"Hajima Chukai really likes peaches... Maybe it's because she likes peaches that she has such a charming figure?"

On the other side, Bo Dao Chu Hai took the opportunity to look at the menu and calculated in his mind how much he should pay.

"Based on the average price of this restaurant, the AA system is about 75% of the treat, which saves a lot of money."

"Sea salt cake and Japanese milk cake are both mid-to-low-priced desserts, while Black Forest cake is mid-to-high-end."

"Could it be..." Bodao went out to sea and quietly observed Bai Ye, his bright red eyes flashing with doubt, "Senior Xiao knows my difficulties, so he is secretly helping me?"

She wanted to clarify the doubts in her heart, and asking was the best way.

"If Senior Xiao wants to write a food blog, will these cakes be enough?"

"enough."

Bai Ye understood what she meant and had already thought of her words.

"First, I need to determine the target audiences for my food blog and this coffee shop. My audience is mostly students and young office workers, while the target audience of this shop is office workers, students and wealthy young people."

"This restaurant has a high price point. My audience's orders are mostly in the low- to mid-range price range, with a few in the high- to mid-range price range. Naturally, I have to cater to their preferences and make the right choice."

"So," Bai Ye closed the menu and gave her a polite smile, "Do you understand, Hasima-san?"

"understood."

Bodao Chuhai really understood that Senior Xiao not only took her feelings into consideration, but also did things perfectly, leaving her unable to find any loopholes.

"I feel like Senior Xiao is a natural businessman, and he calculates accounts very clearly."

"It's not difficult. It's not something that can be said to be natural or not." Bai Ye shook his finger. "Just strike a balance between rationality and emotion. Don't be unnecessarily strong. Hajima-san can do it too."

When Pojima goes out to sea, he holds his chin with his hand, and his slightly chubby face looks particularly cute in this posture.

"I feel like I'm being lectured by Senior Xiao. He's three years older than me, but he knows so much?"

Although this sentence seemed offensive, Bai Ye heard it called "the distress of youth" from the words of Bodao Chuhai.

"After all, Hashima-san is only 15, still a little girl. She's still a year away from turning 16, which is the right time to get married."

"Make more friends, or join a club when you get to high school. That's all... well, snacks are coming!"

"Hmm, I'm a little hungry."

What Bai Ye said has its own deep meaning.

The comic skills displayed by Hajima Chukai made Bai Ye secretly understand Aki Tomoya's plan.

"Replacing Eriri" should be a smokescreen. The workload and difficulty of drawing "Flash Girls" are impossible to accomplish with Hasima Izumi's current ability.

Of course, it is possible that Tomoya Aki simply wants to recruit Tomokazu Hamajima to work on "Flash Girls", but considering his recent actions, Bai Ye feels that this possibility is very low.

"Aki Tomoya's ultimate goal should be to kick me out of the club, so that Shiyu, Eriri, and Kei can stay and return to the way things were when I was gone."

No one doesn’t envy the feeling of being surrounded by stars, including Akitomo Aki and Byakuya.

"I recruited Hasima-san into the "Flash Girls" club, used Hasima's ability to stimulate Eriri, and let the two compete with each other. Under the pretext of improving the animation of "Flash Girls", I kept Eriri in the club."

"The reason for letting Shiyu stay should be the same. Indeed, Shiyu promised to make the copywriting of "Flash Girl" perfect."

Aki Tomoya's plan seemed perfect, but Bai Ye saw a loophole.

"Aki-san may be able to retain people, but can you retain their hearts? Putting aside the fact that the progress of "Flash Girls" has skyrocketed under my management, even if it can't be completed before summer vacation, the main part will be completed. Can I still use this as an excuse to keep everyone here?"

'Or...' A terrible idea popped into Bai Ye's mind.

"Is the "Flash Girls," your dream, Aki-san, going to become your tool?"
