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

"Student Xiao said he rarely comes around here and wants to go to a more famous store."

"Yeah." Bai Ye took over the conversation, put down his phone and said, "I just found a good restaurant online. Let's go, I'll treat everyone to lunch."

"Invite us to lunch?" Hyodo Michiru was stunned and subconsciously declined. "How can that be? According to the courtesy of the host, it should be me who treats classmate Xiao to lunch."

"It's okay, it's okay." Bai Ye waved his hand generously.

It is indeed not a good idea to invite someone to dinner without thinking, and it may even be considered as having ulterior motives, but if you have a sufficient reason, then it is a different matter.

"Consider this my welcome gift to everyone. I'd like to interrupt everyone's piano practice this afternoon. If you don't mind, take me with you?"

The eyes of the Icy tail members lit up.

The first time they met was at the ice house two weeks ago. This is their second meeting. The "meeting gift" should not refer to the meeting gift for the first time.

Then what else can be called a "greeting gift"?

It is most likely referring to the meeting gift from Icy Tail band’s agent to the members of Icy Tail band!

"Let's go, Mr. Agent!"

"Let's go!"

“I feel worry-free from now on!”

……

Michiru Hyodo was also very happy. Bai Ye's words almost implied that he had agreed to be Icy tail's agent. Although she didn't understand why he suddenly agreed, it was still something worth being happy about.

"Thank you, Xiao."

Bai Ye shook his finger, and a hint of amusement appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"I know what Hyodou-san is thinking, but I'm not completely sold on it yet."

"Huh?" Michiru Hyodo was a little confused.

"At least show me your strength. I think the commercial performances this afternoon and next week are great opportunities. Please don't let me do business at a loss, Hyodo-san."

"Mr. Xiao is really strange~~" Hyodo Michiru smiled, crossing her arms behind her head, her already plump figure even more curvaceous. "If you're worried about losing money on a business deal, shouldn't you assess the risks first? Why would you agree to the deal so quickly?"

Bai Ye nodded thoughtfully, his tone serious.

"I didn't expect to be lectured by Hyodo-san."

"Hmm~~"

Michiru Hyodo was quite happy. This was the first time she had the chance to defeat Byakuya in a verbal duel.

5.

However, when she thought about it carefully, she felt that things were not that simple, especially the smile on Bai Ye's lips, which made her imagine a lot.

"Mr. Xiao shouldn't make such a low-level mistake. If you assume that being an Icy Tail agent is a losing business, and you want to make it a profitable business..."

When this thought came to her mind, even Michiru Hyodo herself was shocked.

"Could it be that Xiao's target is me?"

Reward progress report: 44 (1202/10000), 6 updates are owed, this is a normal update.

I'm back from the vaccination. I'll take a nap. There will be another update in the evening.

Chapter 227 Bai Ye’s solo concert

After a simple yet hearty lunch, Bai Ye and the members of Icy Tail took a car and arrived at a piano room.

"We're here, Xiao."

"Uh-huh."

Bai Ye got out of the car and looked up.

The music room is right next to the main street, where there are few pedestrians. It seems that it deliberately avoids busy streets. From the outside, it looks no different from an ordinary store. Only the guitar hanging in the glass window of the store door slightly reveals its identity.

He listened attentively, and only when he got close to the shop door could he faintly hear the pleasant sound of the piano.

"Just looking at the facade, you really wouldn't be able to tell it's a music studio, and there wasn't much noise coming from it."

"Of course! The music room needs good soundproofing, otherwise we'll get complaints from the neighbors, and it also helps keep the band's secrets."

Byakuya agreed with Michiru Hyodo's statement.

If a band practices unreleased new songs in a rented music room like this, and the sound insulation is not good, it is possible that someone with bad intentions might secretly record them, which would inevitably cause serious losses.

This kind of thing is common in the industry.

Especially for bands that are relatively well-known but lack a stable source of funds and a studio, they are more or less at risk of being overheard.

Bai Ye has already placed himself in the position of Icy Tail's agent, so of course he has to solve this risk issue by himself. Michiru Hyodo and the others only need to sweat hard on the road of music.

"Hyoudou-kun, Icy Tail isn't being followed by anyone right now, is he?"

"No, no." Hyodo Michiru smiled and waved her hands. "The band isn't famous at all right now. Not many people even know about it at school. Xiao, you're worrying too much."

However, as the captain of the band, Michiko Hyodo was looking far ahead, and her eyes revealed a hint of envy as she looked towards the piano room.

"Let's go, the agreed time is up. Don't waste your practice time. Renting a piano room is not cheap."

"Yeah, let's go!"

"Eat well and go practice the piano."

The members of Icy Tail gathered together and walked into the piano room. Bai Ye also finished thinking and followed them in.

"I'm Michiru Hyodo, and I've reserved a piano room for 1 o'clock."

"Okay, Miss Bingtang, piano room number 3, please come this way. Please do not eat in the piano room. There are tea and snacks in the rest area outside."

"Thank you."

After entering the piano room and locking the door, Bai Ye found that the members of Icy Tail were like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, touching everything and turning into curious babies.

Bai Ye brought a stool and sat down, then said to Hyodo Michiru:

"Has everyone never been to the piano room? I feel like you're even more exaggerated than me."

"Everyone has been here before." Hyodo Michiru scratched her face, looking a little embarrassed. "Last week we wanted to rent a piano room to practice, but the one we had was too expensive. We couldn't afford it, so we finally found this cheaper room this week."

"For next week's commercial performance, I have to practice it in person no matter what."

Just as Bai Ye thought, Icy Tail's funds were indeed very tight, and even using the paid practice room had to be reconsidered. All funds came from the pocket money squeezed out by everyone's frugality.

He had just heard during lunch that the Icy Tail band would work in a coffee shop in their free time.

Although Tsubaki Girls' High School does not explicitly prohibit students from working part-time, applying for permission is very troublesome and the review period is long. Naturally, all the members of Icy Tail did not obtain permission from the school, and for this reason they specially chose a coffee shop far away from the school.

However, once discovered, it will be a big trouble.

……

At this time, the members of Icy Tail took out their respective instruments, connected them to the amplifiers and debugged them.

"Lanzi, are you used to the drum set?"

Aiko Morioka is the drummer of the band. It is impossible for her to carry a drum set with her, so she can only use the drum set provided in the practice room, but she does carry the drumsticks with her.

At this moment she was tapping casually, looking for her normal feeling.

"Well... the tone isn't the problem. I can just adjust it during practice."

"Okay~~!"

Just as Michiru Hyodo was signaling to get ready to start, Himekawa Tokino suddenly called her.

"Michiru, have you given the performance schedule to your agent?"

"No."

"Don't forget something important!" Bingyuan Ruizhijia said helpfully, "This is our first public performance, and it's also a special concert for our agent. Providing a performance schedule to the audience is basic common sense."

Exclusive concert?!

"When will the exclusive concert be held?"

"We discussed this just now during lunch, and it was passed with 3 votes," said Morioka Aiko.

"I'm the person in charge...why don't I know..." Michiru Hyodo was speechless.

"I'm still the leader, and Michiru was whispering affectionately with her agent during lunch, not even noticing we were discussing it."

"I do not have it……"

Michiru Hyodo blushed slightly, and she sighed in her heart that the team members had done everything they could to help Xiao secure the position of "agent".

She did chat with Bai Ye during lunch time, but the other party asked about Tomoya Aki, and it was not convenient for everyone to hear, so she whispered in his ear.

"Why is it that everyone is whispering about it? Xiao and I are not that kind of relationship, and besides, Xiao already has Kasumigaoka."

Putting the messy thoughts behind her for the time being, Michi Hyodo left the stage and handed the performance list to Bai Ye.

"Mr. Xiao, this is the playlist for next week's commercial performance. It has been finalized and will not be revised."

"Ok."

Bai Ye quickly reviewed them and found that they were all songs that otakus liked nowadays. The last one was Ict tail's original single.

Because of the hot weather, Michiru Hyodo took off her coat, revealing her familiar purple shorts underneath.

Bai Ye raised his head, and his eyes were filled with a large area of snow-white nene, which was gradually dyed with a faint blush that revealed the owner's mood, making it look even more attractive.

He stared for 3 seconds.

Taking various factors into consideration, he felt that his relationship with Michiru Hyodo was already pretty good, and he could do some "interesting" things with her.

"Student Xiao..."

Michiru Hyodo felt that the place where Bai Ye was paying attention to was a little hot, and a strange feeling arose in her heart.

Warmth, anticipation, and satisfaction.

"Ah, I'm sorry..."

After feasting his eyes, Bai Ye withdrew his gaze and showed a hint of apology.

“Is this a concert held just for me?”

"Ah, this..."

Michiru Hyodo paused, thinking that she couldn't let everyone down, so she gritted her teeth and agreed.

"This is a special concert held for classmate Xiao. Please enjoy it!"

"I am very honored."

Seeing Bai Ye smile, Michiru Hyodo also smiled again. She ran back to the stage in three or two steps, looked at her teammates, and got ready for the performance.

"Everyone, are you ready?!"

Reward progress report 44 (1202/10000), 6 updates are owed, this is yesterday's update.

Double update, everyone remember to vote for recommendation!!

Why would you forget to vote if you forgot to remind everyone... Voting is a good habit, please keep it!

Chapter 228: The Dilemma Faced by Hyodo Michiru

The show is over.

Bai Ye distributed the energy drinks he bought in the rest area to the Icy Tail members who were almost exhausted on the stage.

Although eating is not allowed in the piano room, drinks are not prohibited.

"You guys are amazing. You played and sang for two hours straight. It's like two hours of high-intensity exercise."

Bai Ye handed the last drink to Michiru Hyodo, who drank half of the bottle in one gulp, then folded the distributed flyers into a paper fan to cool off in the air conditioning.

She felt better than ever today, perhaps because there were audiences? Or maybe it was because the audience was Bai Ye?

She didn't know, but she knew in her heart that she wanted to understand Bai Ye's feelings immediately.

"Mr. Xiao, what do you think of the performance?"

"You've seen me shaking the cheering stick until I'm tired, don't you understand how I feel?"

Michiru Hyodo tapped his arm with a water bottle, an unhappy smile on her face.

"Just be frank, don't beat around the bush. One bad thing about Xiao is that he always beats around the bush when he talks, leaving me guessing all the time. It's really troublesome!"
