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

It is often said that novels are inspired by the real world.

Because of this, as the classic plot in the novel shows, Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri "ranked" on the list of school beauties in the current issue of "Tokyo School" and have been on the list ever since.

But it is different from novels. There is no popular plot such as the rogue pursuit of rich young men or using power and money to force them to become lovers.

We are just living an ordinary life. There is no conflict between appreciating beauty and possessing beauty.

It was just that there were so many people on the campus festival open day that it was a bit congested, so Bai Ye made a lot of money from his snack stall.

Bai Ye has deep memories of them, and if possible, he hopes to rent their portrait rights during the campus festival.

Printing a Q-version image of the two of you on the cookie surface will surely be a hit.

So, this is why Bai Ye stayed on their faces for more than 3 seconds, and then he turned to Aki Tomoya beside him, his eyes slightly fluctuating.

This ordinary-looking otaku actually gets treated like the male protagonist in a light novel. I wonder if he has the awareness of being the male protagonist.

After listening to Aki Tomoya's introduction, Bai Ye's gaze returned to the two girls' faces, focusing on the pair of crystal red eyes as beautiful and flawless as rubies, and the blue eyes as fresh and bright as the ocean.

It's politeness, the courtesy before introducing yourself.

"Hello, my name is Xiao Baiye. I'm a senior in high school and a transfer student from China. If nothing unexpected happens, I'll be the programmer for 'Flash Girls'."

It was a rather ordinary introduction. Bai Ye didn't want to attract attention, so there was no need to create a big event like in novels.

He is the type of person who pursues the lowest point. Although his personality does not seem suitable for business, he is already satisfied with the free afternoon tea and the admiration of school beauties.

Let’s talk about the next thing later.

Bai Ye's eyes, which gradually calmed down from surprise, slightly relieved Kasumigaoka Utaha's displeasure at a stranger joining the club, and she also looked at him with a higher opinion.

Kasumigaoka Utaha is self-aware and confident about her appearance. Bai Ye's initial surprised look was attributed to her as normal.

As long as it doesn't hinder her original intention of joining here, she is willing to give Bai Ye a polite smile.

"Hello, Xiao, my name is Kasumigaoka Utaha, and I'm the copy editor for 'Flash Girl'... I don't like that name, Ethics-kun, so please change it."

"Hello, Kasumigaoka-san."

Bai Ye said that it was okay with the sudden change of camera angle when she introduced herself, as he was also a self-aware person.

Seeing that Kasumigaoka Utaha expressed her goodwill first, the other blonde girl could no longer sit still.

She turned her head slightly to look at Tomoya Aki who had a happy expression on his face, and quickly stood up, placing her hands on her slightly heaving chest, her posture confident yet humble.

"Hello, my name is Sawamura S... My name is too long, so you can just call me Sawamura, and please omit the middle part."

"I'm the art designer for the game. I draw characters and scenes and stuff. Yeah, that's all I can draw."

"Okay, Sawamura-kun."

Bai Ye also said that it was not a problem for her to forget to use her last name in front of her senior, but it was not a complete failure.

Bai Ye's sixth sense told him that the ace of the art club seemed to be hiding something, but there was no need to trace the source.

The classroom was very large, with three rows of long wooden chairs. Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri sat at the back and front of the first row.

Bai Ye didn't want to get too close to the two beautiful girls and cause them to misunderstanding, so he chose a seat in the middle of the second row.

As soon as he sat down, Bai Ye felt a faint fragrance drifting into his nose.

He thought of a locust tree in the garden of Tianchao's home. It was usually inconspicuous, but when the flowers bloomed, it always attracted his nose, making him unable to help but come forward and smell its beauty.

It is well known that Sophora japonica flowers can be used as food and medicine, but only those who truly understand Sophora japonica flowers know how to create thousands of magical effects.

"It's light, has a faint smell, and tastes slightly bitter. Are there any locust trees planted in the school?"

The beauty in his heart was awakened, and Bai Ye followed the smell and subconsciously looked for the source of the locust flowers.

The moment he turned his head, a pair of eyes as elegant as locust flowers came into view.

"Whoa whoa whoa...Hey!"

Bai Ye was startled and found that there was a girl sitting next to him with a pair of eyes like locust flowers.

When was there someone here?

Why didn’t I notice it?!

Before he had time to figure out the mystery, his businessman upbringing made him subconsciously stretch out his right hand and lean forward slightly in a humble gesture.

"I'm sorry to have scared you. My name is Xiao Baiye. May I ask who you are..."

The girl, as pretty as a locust flower, lightly covered her cherry lips with the fingertips of her right hand. She was obviously startled, but the light in her eyes only moved slightly, and it was almost impossible to see her change.

"I'm sorry, I didn't realize you were here. Why..."

A second passed, Bai Ye still maintained the posture of extending his hand to shake hands, but his thoughts became active.

"This is awkward and abrupt..."

Two seconds passed.

"Why didn't you notice there was a third girl in the classroom? Isn't her presence too low?"

Three seconds have passed. If a person does not respond to your handshake within three seconds, slowly withdraw your hand and give an apologetic smile.

Bai Ye thought of his father's teachings.

Just as he was about to withdraw his right hand, he found that a pair of jade-like fingers as white as cream had grasped his fingertips, swayed them gently, and then let go.

'When was it...that I couldn't feel her presence anymore?'

"Hello, Senior Xiao, my name is Kato Megumi."

Her voice was so dull that it seemed a little dull, and her face was expressionless but seemed to be smiling faintly. It was so dull that one would easily ignore her existence.

Bai Ye came back to his senses. The remaining warmth on his fingertips and the subtle dampness brought him back to his senses, and he confirmed that there was a girl as beautiful as a locust flower in front of him.

Bai Ye put his right hand in front of his chest, bowed his head and apologized, telling his inner thoughts truthfully.

"I'm sorry, Kato-san. I don't know why I didn't see you, so I just sat here."

"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry."

Bai Ye's sincere apology earned Kato Megumi a half-clenched right fist to support her cheek, and her eyes gradually moved from Bai Ye's face to the four big words "Flash Girl" on the blackboard.

His tone was flat, and it was hard to tell whether he was distressed or not.

"Everyone says that I have a low sense of presence, and it seems to be true."

Chapter 3: The yearning for beauty cannot be shaken off

It took only 7 seconds from the time Bai Ye jumped up in fright to the time he shook hands with Kato Megumi. Kasumigaoka Utaha, Sawamura Eriri and Aki Tomoya followed the sound and just happened to see Kato Megumi and Xiao Bai Ye shaking hands.

The "Flash Girls" project was proposed by Tomoya Aki a few days ago. Since it is a love game, there must be a delicious main course.

Just half an hour before Bai Ye arrived, Aki Tomoya brought the "main course" to the table.

The truly inconspicuous "heroine" is completely in line with the original intention of the setting of "Flash Girl". If she hadn't noticed a subtle smile beside her, Kasumigaoka Utaha would not have realized that there was someone else around her.

Faced with the little farce happening in front of her, Kasumigaoka Utaha did not say anything, and did not want to analyze Kato Megumi.

They had only known each other for half an hour. Instead of trying to understand this taciturn, expressionless "heroine", it would be better to have a few words with Eriri, at least the latter could cheer her up.

"I'm so sleepy..."

Kasumigaoka Utaha yawned slightly, her eyes showing fatigue. She stayed up late last night thinking about the plots of "Love Metronome" and "Flash Girls", which resulted in severe lack of sleep.

"Ethics-kun, if you don't get to the point, I'm going to sleep."

Aki Tomoya originally wanted to make a joke about Kato Megumi's invisibility, but when he saw that Kasumigaoka Utaha was about to fall asleep on the table, he hurriedly walked up to the podium, rolled up the wrinkled plan, and slapped the blackboard with full momentum.

"Everyone, please listen carefully. After a dramatic reunion with the women of destiny, the "Flash Girls" carrying the grand dream has officially set sail!"

When Tomoya Aki expressed his passion for his dream, Byakuya was caught in a dilemma.

He shook hands with Kato Megumi...meaning that he and her had reconciled.

"Logically, if I leave my current seat, it means I still care and appear insincere. Not only will all my efforts go to waste, but I might also leave a bad impression on everyone."

"But it's not appropriate to get too close to people you don't know when you first join the club, especially since the relationships between people in the club are far more complicated than they seem."

"Senior Xiao, do you want to stand and listen?"

"Uh... sit."

Facing Kato Megumi's straight ball attack, Bai Ye didn't know whether she was a fool or a wise fool, so he had to sit back in his original position quietly without making any sound.

Bai Ye didn't know whether his actions were unnecessary, but when studying in a foreign country and entering a new circle, it was always right to be cautious.

"Let's find another opportunity to change seats later."

On the podium, Tomoya Aki spoke eloquently in otaku terms that non-otakus could not understand, and danced with joy to show the excitement of discovering his dreams. He was blessed with the [Frenzy Buff] and almost forgot his situation.

Bai Ye didn't even need to look back to sense a strong resentment emanating from the direction of Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was looking for food in all directions, and the "loudly" Aki Tomoya happened to be caught in the crossfire.

"I'm talking about Ethics-kun."

Bai Ye didn't know what unspeakable horror An Yilun had seen. His body was tense and he even knocked over the chair.

"Shi-Shiyu-senpai...do you have anything to say?"

"I wonder what I'm doing here."

Kasumigaoka Utaha tapped the laptop cover quickly. The rapid and irregular sound made Bai Ye feel for some reason that it was a heavy machine gun at full firepower.

"Two days ago I heard about the thoughts that burst out of your head like a volcano. After spewing out lava, are you going to spew out ash?"

"Grinded volcanic ash can be used as a cement admixture. Now all I see is a nerd's wet dream. Or do you want to use your saliva to mix volcanic ash to build an apartment and then invite 17 or 18 beautiful girls to soak in your wet dream?"

"Uh... Shiyu-senpai..." Aki Tomoya couldn't hold on any longer and crashed into the blackboard. "I want new members to join, so I want..."

But Kasumigaoka Utaha showed no intention of stopping.

"Weren't they just forced to join the club out of sympathy after being disgustingly tortured by you, Ethics-kun?"

"Also..." Shiyu raised her head slightly and stared at Sawamura Eriri who looked confused.

"Please, is it really okay for me to draw illustrations for this fake young lady who looks perfect on the outside but is actually a complete loser on the inside?"

Bai Ye was shocked. Kasumigaoka Utaha was going all out! With just a few words, she had offended everyone in the club.

As expected, Sawamura Eriri, who had already clenched her fists, suddenly slammed the table and stood up, trembling all over, revealing two proud little fangs.

"Who are you calling useless? I don't understand why Tomoya would choose a shady woman like you to write the script, idiot Tomoya."

puff--!

Bai Ye heard the sound of thousands of arrows piercing his heart, and saw Aki Tomoya spitting out a mouthful of blood, his body shaking.

"Eri, I..."

"I do have a dark personality, but I think I'm more frank than you."

Kasumigaoka Utaha's expression remained unaffected by Sawamura Eriri's counterattack. Her eyes, seemingly calm but turbulent, then fixed on Aki Tomoya, who extended his "Erkang Hand."

"Where's your plan, Ethics-kun? It's not just a few pitiful yellowed sheets of paper you've used before, is it?"

Another thousand arrows pierced his heart, and Aki Ryouya fell to the ground, dying.

At this point, Bai Ye finally understood some of the relationships between people in the fan club.

There must be an unknown story between Kasumigaoka Utaha, Sawamura Eriri and Aki Tomoya, and they once had a close relationship. Otherwise, he would not believe that the popular writer who published the romance novel "Love Metronome" which is known for its delicateness would have such a low EQ.

Although Kasumigaoka Utaha was firing on all cylinders, her main targets were only Sawamura Eriri and Aki Tomoya. She and Kato Megumi were just "deceived" and sympathetic passers-by.

【Good Guy Card】Get X1?

Bai Ye didn't care about what Kasumigaoka Utaha said, but he wanted to see how the expression of Kato Megumi, a girl with no reputation and no business, who was also given the good guy card, would change.

However, the "three-no" girl is still "three-no", and her pale pink lips don't even have a trace of ups and downs.

As if unaware that Aki Tomoya was seriously injured physically and mentally, Kato Megumi slowly raised her hand, indicating that she had something to say.

As if he saw a rope to escape from the abyss, Tomoya Aki quickly stretched out his hand yearning for light towards the girl who had met his destiny in the spring.

Why haven't I noticed that Kato Megumi is actually quite cute?

Then fell into the abyss again.

"Ami-kun, I think you noticed my cuteness today, not my existence itself, right? So that's why you recruited me into... a doujinshi club? That's what it's called, right?"

Bai Ye didn't quite understand what Kato Megumi said, but noticing the embarrassed expression on Aki Tomoya's face, he felt that his friend, who was in a complicated situation, needed a little help.

Bai Ye raised his hand, and his gesture was no different from that of an elementary school student asking his teacher for help.

But such a small action scared Aki Tomoya.
