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

Then, he smiled as if it was true.

"Kato-san, are you really not mad at Shiro-kun?"

"No~"

"But your hands and shoulders aren't shaking. You were shaking badly back in the cafe. Hmm... it seemed like Xiaobai-kun hadn't left yet. Were you pretending to do that for Xiaobai-kun?"

Kato Megumi's smile paused, then immediately disappeared.

"That's because the air conditioner is too cold~"

Chapter 308 Going Home with Eriri

Bai Ye didn't know that his little thoughts were almost figured out by Kato Megumi and Shiyu. Now he was catching up with Eriri who had left earlier.

Shiyu can see Bai Ye's intention behind this, but the simple-minded Eriri may not be able to see it, and it would be bad if it caused misunderstanding.

"Eri-ri!"

Bai Ye caught up with Ying Lili in two or three steps and grabbed her hand.

"Senior, what are you doing?!"

"Nothing, isn't it normal to hold hands while shopping?"

"Who wants a school where you can go shopping..."

Eriri muttered softly, and from her expression it was clear that she was still bothered by the club party that had just taken place.

Bai Ye naturally didn't mind Eriri's little emotions. Eriri resolutely stood against Aki Tomoya today, with her hands on her hips, like a "loyal little golden retriever" protecting her master, which made him very surprised and moved.

"You mean holding hands?"

"No, you're victorious!"

Bai Ye's grip on her hand was very light. Ying Lili shook her hand vigorously, almost doing a windmill, but she didn't shake her hand away.

After indicating that her struggle was futile, Eriri gave up with peace of mind, and even took the initiative to move closer to the body, so that the hand they were holding was rubbing between their trouser legs.

"Don't get me wrong, Senior. I'm worried about being seen by someone I know. It's vacation time, and everyone's going to be out on the street. If someone sees you holding onto my hand, you'll definitely be arrested by the police. I'm doing this for your own good, Senior. You should be grateful, okay?"

Eriri pouted her cherry lips, brushed her twin ponytails, crossed her arms over her chest, and displayed her textbook tsundere personality.

"Yes, yes~~" Bai Ye smoothed her pair of beautiful and fun ponytails, lowered her body, and pretended to be flattering, "Where do you want to go and what do you want to eat? I'll treat you. If you don't know which restaurant to go to, I'll recommend it to you."

Eriri opened her mouth, then thought of the club activities. The words on the tip of her tongue were immediately deflated. Her eyelids drooped slightly, her shoulders hunched, and her hands on her hips dropped. She no longer maintained her tsundere attitude, and her whole body exuded a sense of powerlessness.

"Forget it. I'm not in the mood today. No matter how delicious the food is, I won't be able to taste it. That would be too unfair to the delicious food."

"Oh~ I didn't expect you to be so aware~~"

Bai Ye took out a small piece of chocolate from his pocket and put it in her palm.

"I didn't let you enjoy your afternoon tea today, so consider this piece of chocolate as a token of my appreciation~"

"Senior, your kindness is only worth a small piece of chocolate, how cheap..."

Ying Lili said she was disgusted, but still ate the chocolate. She pulled Bai Ye to the trash can and threw the candy wrapper in, then pulled Bai Ye to the neighboring store.

"So, what did you say, Senior? Explain?"

"If you're willing to listen and can understand, I'd be happy to tell you."

"Don't think I don't know that you're secretly blackmailing me again, Senior. I'm not stupid!"

"Yes, yes~~"

Bai Ye used a leisurely tone to comfort Eriri, who opened her mouth to bite, and told her what happened today.

Of course, he didn't say anything that would reveal his "harem plan."

"Eriri, you noticed that Kato-san was acting strangely today. She didn't say a word the entire party. Although she's usually quiet and reserved, she won't hesitate or be vague when it comes to expressing her opinions. Am I right?"

"That's right—!" Eriri nodded her little head like a drum at Bai Ye's detailed description. "Kato-san could have just voted 'not supporting the senior's departure', but he chose to 'abstain'. If he had won, wouldn't everything have been resolved? I feel so betrayed..."

Bai Ye's views are different from Eriri's. He values Kato Megumi's "heart" more.

Belief has a power beyond people's cognition. In wartime, there are people who go without food, water or movement for three days just to kill the enemy, and there are people who travel thousands of miles to make a pilgrimage and kneel down to worship.

Bai Ye never underestimated Kato Megumi's belief. Now that he is under his control, it is better to let Kato Megumi see the true face of Aki Tomoya than to let him get out of his control one day in the future.

"After all, everyone has their own beliefs. Isn't reality a process of growth through constant setbacks?"

"But I still feel bad... What if Renye organizes another vote next time?!"

"Don't worry, don't worry~~" Bai Ye stroked her twin ponytails, "After this incident, Kato-san will figure it out and won't let everyone down next time."

"There's a next time?!" Eriri was shocked. "I thought we could have a happy gathering during the holiday, but it ended up being so annoyingヽ('⌒?メ)ノ"

"Do you think Amami-san will just let it go?"

Byakuya had resolved Kato Megumi's emotional knot and reestablished contact with Tomijima Ichikai, thus achieving his goal.

Next time, I should completely end my bad relationship with Tomoya Aki.

Seeing that Eriri wanted to continue discussing what happened today, Bai Ye interrupted her to avoid ruining the rare good atmosphere.

"I'm looking for you today, Eriri, because I have something very important to tell you."

"Important things?" Eriri tilted her head. "Hmm... I can't remember. I don't understand your confusion, Senior. If you can't remember, it's probably not important."

"Remember this for me, Qi Kexiu!" Bai Ye was speechless.

I cared so much about it, but Eriri actually forgot?!

"Hey, where are you taking me, Senior? This seems to be the direction back to my home."

"Of course it's the direction back to your house..." Bai Ye rubbed his thumb and index finger together, "Tomorrow is the reply day for the Summer Comic Expo. If I don't ask my aunt for the booth registration fee, do you want me to pay for it-"

"Uh..." Eriri dodged her gaze and scratched her face. "I didn't forget, I didn't forget. How could I possibly forget something as important as the Summer Comic Con? I just wanted to test you, senior, to see if you remembered it."

Seeing her like this, Bai Ye was sure that she had forgotten.

"Give me some snacks—"

"I'm really into it. Look, I'm almost done with the first draft!"

Bai Ye really didn't know whether to say she was optimistic or stupid.

"Setting up a stall isn't just about putting up comics, right? What about the stall posters? What about the stall decorations? How to attract customers? How to make people's eyes light up and increase their desire to buy? How many people should be hired to help? How to calculate the cost of printing the works? Eriri, have you thought about this carefully?"

"Before, these were all handled by my mother's club. I didn't care about it. I said that I would leave it to you, senior."

"That's what I'm saying—" Bai Ye said earnestly, his voice drawn out. "Even if I'm given full responsibility, what if you're not satisfied with my approach? The cost has already been budgeted. Are we going to change it on the day we open the stall?"

Eriri was embarrassed and couldn't keep up the tough talk, so she lowered her proud twin tails.

"What should I do?"

"That's why I'm going home with you. Um... First order of business, let me see Kashiwagi Eri's new work."

Eriri gave him a suspicious look.

"Senior, you said so much, isn't it like reading a comic book?"

PS: Reward progress report 55 (1517/10000), 6 updates are owed, this is a normal update.

Thanks to [Bosnian Tsar] for the spicy strips, [Dian Niang I Hate You] for the 3 spicy strips, and [Saon Prison] for the salted fish thorns.

In the past two days, there was a problem with the first two chapters and they were temporarily taken off the shelves. I have modified and uploaded them. The content has not changed, so please feel free to read them.

As for the reason for the temporary removal from the shelves, those who understand will understand. This book has too many rhythms in the past two days.

Chapter 309: Meet Sayuri Sawamura again, got important information?

Bai Ye followed Eriri into the room and just as he said "Excuse me", he saw Sayuri Sawamura sitting under the shade of a tree in the yard.

"Ah la la~~ Xiao Jun is here to play?"

Seeing the person coming, Sayuri Sawamura put down her teacup, a happy smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she raised her small fan and waved to Bai Ye.

"Come, come, come sit next to your aunt. I've just made some tea."

"Aunt, I apologize for not visiting you for a long time."

"Don't be so polite. It's great that you didn't bring any gifts this time. Xiao Jun always brought souvenirs before, which would have been difficult for Auntie~"

Sayuri Sawamura's words may seem polite, but they contain a lot of meaning.

To put it simply: if you go on a date with Eriri at her home, you don't need to bring souvenirs; if you bring souvenirs, it means you need help; if you go on a date with Eriri and bring souvenirs, Sayuri Sawamura will feel awkward.

Bai Ye smiled, realizing that Sayuri no longer considered him an outsider and also considered him half-boyfriend to Eriri.

As for the other half, we just have to wait and see when Eriri is willing to let go of her pride and show her tender side.

Bai Ye sat down, reached out to take the cup, and a look of understanding flashed in his eyes.

The cup is warm, but there is no tea in it, which means that the cup has just been ironed, so it retains residual heat.

It also shows that Sayuri Sawamura knew in advance that she would come to the Sawamura family, so she was waiting for her in the yard in advance.

As for who leaked the information, the answer is self-evident.

Just then, Eriri came out of the house quickly, holding her cup in her hand, and her slippers made crisp tapping sounds as she walked on the bluestone road.

"Mom, I want some tea too."

Sayuri Sawamura tapped her chin with a spoon, her expression slightly distressed.

"Eri, as a girl, you should be more polite. It's very rude to walk around and make loud noises when there are guests at home."

"have a guest?"

Ying Lili looked into the house through the yard window and didn't see any guests. She thought about it and realized that she didn't see any guests from the front door to the front hall to the kitchen.

She turned around and didn't understand until she saw Bai Ye holding a cup and drinking tea. She pointed at Bai Ye with a look of confusion and shock on her face.

"Mom, could the guest you're talking about be the senior?"

"Hmm~~" Sayuri Sawamura hummed softly and smiled with squinted eyes.

"This senior..." Eriri is now next to Bai Ye, her body slightly leaning towards him. From the mouth of this girl who looks like a little bird in the eyes of outsiders, there are indeed complaints.

"Mom, listen to me. Just now, my senior gave me a small piece of chocolate. It was so sweet. And then I was thirsty, but he didn't even buy me some water. Look how mean he is!"

Bai Ye raised his eyebrows, with a confused expression on his face.

"Iriri, didn't you say you were poor and that you were almost home, so you didn't buy anything? So now it becomes like I won't buy anything for you?"

"Lululu—Senior calls himself a gentleman, but he couldn't even bear to buy me water."

"Why are you reluctant again?!"

Bai Ye was really confused. Was he almost becoming a weird gentleman who enjoyed bullying girls in Eriri's mouth?

Seeing Bai Ye's shoulders shaking slightly, Ying Lili thought he was going to bully her again, so she quickly took a small leap and hid behind Sayuri.

"Look, Mom, Senior is getting angry again. Please help me stand up for him and teach him a lesson about the Summer Comic Con."

Ying Lili said she was afraid, but she took the teapot from Bai Ye's hand, poured herself a cup of tea and drank it down in one gulp. Then she poured herself another cup of tea, raised her chin proudly, and looked like she had the support of a powerful person and the world to herself.

"Hey - Mom, why are you drinking tea in the yard? Isn't it hot?"

"Staying in an air-conditioned room all day is not good for your health. Eriri, you should go outside more often."

"I know. I was so hot walking back here. Maybe next time. Mom, I'm going back to my room now."

"Yeah, let's go."

After dispelling her doubts, Eriri leisurely returned to her room with her twin ponytails swinging, and before leaving, she stuck out her tongue at Bai Ye.

Sayuri Sawamura's smile has never stopped since Eriri started "complaining". After Eriri left, she looked at Bai Ye with interest.

"It seems that Yinglili no longer considers Xiaojun as a guest~~"

Bai Ye understood why Sayuri Sawamura did this. It turned out that she wanted to test the progress between herself and Eriri. Eriri would let go of herself once she was in a familiar environment.

"Aunt, you're joking."

It is indeed very fun to be with Eriri. To some extent, Eriri is more open-minded than Shiyu. Of course, I don’t mean that kind of thing, and teasing Eriri can bring me the pleasure of "bullying".

"Now, Eriri, go back to your room."
