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

Bai Ye pursed his lips and sighed. He lost his appetite even when faced with the fragrant teriyaki chicken. In the blink of an eye, Shi Yu placed the small clothes she had changed on the bed...

Oh my god——!

Let’s help Shiyu wash first.

Coming out of the bathroom contentedly, Bai Ye saw a chubby "thief" coveting the teriyaki chicken steak on the table. Its furry little claws kept scratching the table, but unfortunately its legs were a little short, so it was always a little bit away from the delicious food.

"You may have short legs, but you're very brave. I've told you many times not to eat too salty food."

Bai Ye picked up Xiao Mi, who was about to turn herself into a "noodle", with one hand, opened the cabinet, and saw an unexpected scene.

"Why are my cat snacks so much less spicy?"

"Shiyu, how much did you secretly feed Xiao Mi this week? No wonder your face feels better when you rub it, but it feels a lot heavier now."

Bai Ye took the little cat, who had an "innocent look" but opened his mouth to beg for food, onto his lap, took out the few remaining cat snacks, and squeezed them into the little cat's mouth bit by bit.

"You see, your master treats you well and feeds you every day."

"Meow?" Xiao Mi looked up and called out with a hint of confusion.

"Your mistress ran home today and doesn't want you anymore~ I am the most trustworthy, right?"

"Meow!" Xiao Mi's voice became more excited, as if protesting.

"Eat it if you want, don't pick it on me, you little guy, do you usually pick Shiyu like this? I tell you, Shiyu's body is only for me to enjoy."

"Meow……"

After quickly eating dinner while playing with Xiao Mi, Bai Ye asked Xiao Mi to take the cut sashimi to the stray cat that they often played with. He looked at the time and sighed.

"It's not even 8 o'clock yet. Time is passing so slowly..."

Turn off the TV program, play soothing music, and Bai Ye calms down and starts working.

He has a lot of work on his plate right now. Eriri is a hands-off manager, and he needs to make detailed plans for the summer comic convention; his own store is about to open, and the goods are already floating on the sea; he has an appointment with Hyodo Michiru the day after tomorrow to discuss the development of Icy Tail, and he may meet with Namijima Chukai tomorrow; he doesn't know what secrets Shiina and Kato Megumi are secretly discussing, so he also needs to be prepared.

As for Tomoya Aki, I'll wait until he goes crazy again and give him a fatal blow.

It was half past ten. Bai Ye packed up his work and prepared to take a shower when suddenly an idea came to him.

"My body clock is so regular today. I'm not in a rush to do my homework. It's even more regular than usual at school, and my work efficiency is unusually high."

As the saying goes: When men and women work together, work is less tiring. Bai Ye felt that this statement was inappropriate.

If two people are friends or colleagues, and have a certain tacit understanding and cooperate with each other seamlessly, they can achieve twice the result with half the effort under the influence of hormones.

But if the two are in a relationship or have feelings for each other, then the role of hormones is questionable.

Just like Shiyu and I, we were both busy with our own things at night during the few days we lived together, but we didn't know when the distance between us became closer and closer. When we regained consciousness, it was already morning, and both of us had satisfied smiles on our faces.

"I'm overthinking it..." Bai Ye knocked his head. He couldn't deny that Shi Yu left him with indelible and beautiful memories.

"Take a shower and get some rest early. We might have to deal with the Bo Island voyage tomorrow."

. . . . . .

The next day, the weather was hot.

The sun showed its power which should have been in the afternoon early in the morning. After returning from having fun outside early in the morning, Xiao Mi kept looking for water to drink, and the noise she made interrupted Bai Ye's sweet dream.

"This little cat—" Bai Ye rubbed his sleepy eyes, indignant, "It's so rare for me to dream of doing happy things with Shiyu and Xiaohui, and you ruined it like this!"

"Meow?"

What’s really annoying is that when Xiaomi gets angry, it can scratch itself into a big clown face, but when I get angry, I can’t scratch it. If I rub my face for too long, there’s the risk of it scratching me back.

"No matter what, today either you, Xiao Mi, will be rolled into a dumpling, or I will be scratched into a clown face!"

"Meow meow meow!"

Finally, Bai Ye looked at his unscathed handsome face in the mirror and nodded with satisfaction.

"Is the gap between living things so easy to overcome? You're too naive to want to scratch my face. Hmm... Wear long pants for the time being, so people don't mistake you for fishnet stockings when you go out."

……

After playing with Xiao Mi, Bai Ye no longer felt sleepy. He chatted with Eriri for a while, sent messages to Shiyu and Kato Megumi but received no replies, so he decided to make lunch early.

The note he slipped quietly to Boshima Chuhai yesterday included an invitation to meet at the Summer Comic Convention registration office today, where he would explain what happened yesterday to her.

Originally, Bai Ye was not 100% sure that Hamajima Chukai would accept the invitation, but he believed that Aki Tomoya's performance yesterday must have given her a huge shock, and the desire to get to know Aki Tomoya would drive her to agree to meet.

"Conquering Hamado Chukai now is much more complicated than conquering Shiyu back then. We need to plan ahead. Our goal today is to explain yesterday's events and restore our image. If possible, we can invite Hamado Chukai to a coffee shop. Hmm... let's choose the one we went to last time."

Analyze, refine, and simulate the details of meeting with Bo Island at sea bit by bit in your mind.

Both Hashima Chuhai and Hashima Iori have been added to the group chat, but Bai Ye did not submit a friend request to Hashima Chuhai, nor would he take the initiative to submit one. When facing Hashima Chuhai, he must maintain his composure, be proactive and strong.

Bo Dao Chu Hai is a very smart girl. If she notices something wrong before she falls in love with someone else, then your strategy to capture her will be a failure.

When I came to my senses, the alarm clock rang.

"Okay, get ready to go out!"

After telling Xiao Mi not to go out to play in the afternoon and taking the opportunity to rub its face, Bai Ye contentedly rode his beloved little motorcycle towards his destination.

On a hot day, I didn't feel much wind even when riding a scooter, and the heat inside my clothes was very irritating.

When he arrived at the destination, Bai Ye's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat. However, when he saw the red-haired girl standing under the parasol outside the registration office from afar, he felt that everything was worth it.

Bai Ye put on a nonchalant expression and slowly walked towards the red-haired girl. When they were 10 meters apart and the other girl noticed him, he raised his hand to greet her and slowly quickened his pace to a jog.

"Hello, Hasima-san."

Compared to Bai Ye's generosity, Bo Dao seemed much more restrained when he went out to sea. He kept avoiding Bai Ye's gaze, but felt it was impolite and went back, still hesitating and struggling.

After Bai Ye and the others left yesterday, she found an excuse to go to the bathroom and opened the note. Then she was confused all night and couldn't sleep.

It wasn't until this morning that she made up her mind to accept the appointment. She wanted to know the truth about yesterday.

"Xiao, Senior Xiao...good afternoon."

PS: Reward progress report 55 (5369/10000), 6 updates are owed, this is a normal update.

Thanks to [Saon Prison] for the salted fish thrust, [Dian Niang I Hate You] for the 3 spicy strips, and [Misaka Cannon Girl] for the salted fish thrust.

I will modify the previous chapter and upload it tomorrow, and it should be restored soon.

Chapter 312: A Small Brain War with Bodao

Bai Ye could understand the uneasy feeling that Bodao Chuhai was feeling at the moment. You blatantly did something wrong to the other person, and the next day the other person asked you out as if nothing had happened. Anyone would feel uncomfortable.

Especially when the other party has done you a favor, and you are helping his enemy.

Bai Ye didn't care too much about this. He was very satisfied with the performance of Boshima Chukai yesterday when he was voting, sometimes hesitant, sometimes puzzled, and sometimes pensive. He thought that what he had said to Boshima Chukai before had worked.

Sweat was dripping down Bo Dao Chu Hai's slightly chubby face. Even though she had an umbrella over her head, the heat still came from all directions, making Bo Dao Chu Hai's pretty face flushed.

"Hajima-san, why don't you go in and wait? It's really too hot today. Staying outside is really torture."

"No..." Bodao rubbed his slender fingers together, hidden at the side of his legs. "Because I don't have Senior Xiao's contact information, I was worried that you wouldn't see me when you came and thought I stood you up, so I stood outside."

Bo Island also has its own little tricks for going out to sea.

If Bai Ye saw that he was waiting hard under the scorching sun, perhaps his resentment towards him would be reduced, and if he regarded the waiting as a "punishment", he would feel better.

Bai Ye didn't know the specific idea of Bodao going out to sea, but there were obvious flaws in the latter's statement, which made him guess what Bodao meant by going out to sea.

How stupid is that person to think that he was stood up by the island without even going into the registration office to take a look? Even if he is not there now, won’t he wait a little longer? The other party is a girl!

"Come in first. This isn't a good place to chat."

After saying that, Bai Ye pushed the door open and walked in first.

Not hearing any complaints or dissatisfaction in Bai Ye's tone, Bo Dao Chu Hai breathed a sigh of relief and followed Bai Ye into the registration office.

The cool breeze blowing in my face dispelled the heat, and even though I was in the registration office which was as noisy as a vegetable market, I didn't feel that annoying.

There were many people gathered at the registration office, all wearing cosplay costumes, as if they had entered the summer comic convention in advance.

However, the words that reached their ears made everyone clearly realize that they were all here for a good stall, and it was time to compete, not to leisurely chat about otaku topics.

After finding an empty seat, Bai Ye and Hajima went out to the sea and sat down to rest for a while.

Although this is my first time to handle the Summer Comic Convention, it doesn’t matter if I’m not familiar with the process. As long as I can understand it, I won’t have to bother the busy black swordsman.

Bai Ye looked towards the sea where Bodao was going, and happened to meet the other person's eyes looking at him.

"Hajima-san—"

"Yes, Senior Xiao."

Bai Ye smiled broadly. He could see the curiosity and anxiety in the eyes of Hajima Chuhai.

It's a pity that I have to say sorry to Bodao Chuhai in my heart.

He didn't plan to expand on the topic of yesterday for the time being. What if Hashima-san ran away after listening to him?

It just started this afternoon and the real show has just begun.

After staring for 3 seconds, Bai Ye spoke:

"I know that Mr. Najima has a lot of questions, but now doesn't seem like the best time to explain. You see, there are more and more people here. If it's any later, I don't think it will be our turn today."

The fire of curiosity that ignited in Hashima Chuhai's heart subsided a little, and his rising momentum weakened a lot. His brown-red eyes flickered, but he could not find any reason to refute.

Shopping for comic convention booths is just as serious business as getting to the bottom of things, and it’s just as important.

"Senior Xiao, let's take care of the comic convention first and talk about other things later, okay?"

“Okay~”

Bodao Chuhai stood up and walked towards the counter, his steps showing impatience.

Bai Ye looked at her back and smiled with satisfaction.

Bai Ye does not know the other party's intelligence, and the same is true for Bo Dao's departure to the sea, so taking advantage of this gap, Bai Ye must obtain information about Bo Dao's departure to the sea by asking various questions that will not arouse the other party's suspicion, while showing his own strength.

Whoever has intelligence has the initiative, and this applies both in business and in love.

"Hello, please submit your registration receipt and we will check your seat availability."

"Sorry to trouble you."

Bai Ye handed over the registration receipt first, and while waiting for the staff to check, he pretended to chat casually with Bo Dao Chu Hai:

"Have you ever thought about which level of booth you'll get, Hashima-san?"

The booths at the Summer Comic Exhibition are divided into three grades: first, second and third. The first-grade booths are located on both sides of the main road and receive the most traffic. The second-grade booths receive relatively less traffic, and the third-grade booths receive even less traffic.

Of course, the booth fees required are also different.

"I..." Nagisa pointed at herself, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, her tone revealing a lack of confidence. "For a first-time exhibitor like me, I'm lucky to qualify for a second-class spot."

"Don't be so insecure~" Bai Ye comforted her in a relaxed tone, "I really believe in Hashima-san's abilities, especially his storytelling skills. Unlike my cartoonist, who can only draw but is terrible at writing plots..."

Seeing that Bai Ye's tone was becoming increasingly weak, and he even revealed a helpless look, Bo Dao Chu Hai felt relieved for some reason, and the initial nervousness disappeared.

"Senior Xiao, I didn't see the cartoonist you're in charge of this time. Is she busy with the comics? I'd like to visit her someday if I have the chance."

"Actually, Hajima-san has already seen it."

"what?"

Bai Ye put his fists at both ends of his head, pretending to have two ponytails.

"The blond guy at the party yesterday was the cartoonist I'm in charge of."

Hamajima Izumi's pupils suddenly dilated. This was another unexpected thing for her, and her face became embarrassed again.

Yesterday she felt that the other party was stealing glances at her from time to time. Could this be his rival in the same industry?

"That one, seems to be called Sawamura..."

"Eriri Sawamura, her actual last name is Spencer, but everyone is used to ignoring that, so just call her Sawamura-san. If they get to know each other better, she'd prefer to be called Eriri."

In Neon, calling someone by their first name is a symbol of intimacy, which made Hasuma Chuhai look up to Bai Ye.

"Senior Xiao and that Sawamura-san seem to have a pretty good relationship?"

Bai Ye shrugged.

"After all, we're in the same club, so it's normal to get along well with other members. Besides, she's a girl, so be a gentleman, be a gentleman."

At this time, the staff found the results.
