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

"How did you know that, Senior?!"

"Hajima-san, do you remember? We sat in this booth last time, even facing the same direction. The moment I met your eyes, I remembered the food review. Maybe this is fate? Or does Hajima-san have eyes that can speak?"

The brown-red eyes blinked in surprise, then quickly turned away, leaving only the menu, which was unconscious but still had a sweet smell, to be favored by the brown-red eyes.

"Senior, please don't say such weird things. It's just a coincidence. And you haven't answered my question yet. It's very suspicious..."

"No, the reason is very simple."

"I showed my food review to the person in charge of this restaurant. He said the review was well written, but the product was not well reviewed. He hoped I would have the opportunity to come back and try their signature product. Unfortunately, it was almost the end of the semester, so I never found the time. I finally found the opportunity today."

Bai Ye smiled slightly, and those who knew him would know that this was a symbol of confidence.

"It's still a chance to be with Hashima-san. This way, the characters and story lines are connected. Perfect~~"

"Isn't there much difference between you and the others?" After careful consideration, Hashima Chukai's smile faded. "I didn't leave any contact information after last time. If it weren't for Tomoya-senpai inviting me to "Flash Girls," wouldn't this food review have been wasted?"

"No!" Bai Ye's voice was slightly higher, pulling her out of her trance. "Hajima-san will definitely come to the Summer Comic Con registration office this week, right? Then I pray that we'll meet again."

Bai Ye's words about fate immediately took away Bo Dao Chu Hai's favor, and her cherry lips turned slightly red.

"That makes sense, huh...but what if I don't meet him? Senior, you won't stay in jail for a week, will you?"

"Then I'm a stalker?!"

Bai Ye laughed out loud, and the other party couldn't help laughing as well.

Only Bai Ye understood why he was laughing so loudly at this moment.

If Akitomo hadn't brought Tomi Hajima into "Flash Girls", I would really have waited for a week.

If you don't even have this much patience and shamelessness, what kind of gentleman are you? How can you still pursue a trip to Bo Island?

Apparently, Bo Dao Chu Hai was not satisfied with the topic and continued to ask:

“What if I really can’t meet him?”

"There's still a chance, like... well, here it comes!"

Bodao went out to sea and followed Bai Ye's gaze, and noticed that the waiter was slowly approaching with a tray. On the tray were two tall glasses that were emitting cold air. The glasses were filled with purple liquid. The ice cubes and grapes reflected a beautiful gem-like light under the sunlight, which made the whole drink look magnificent, just like a finely crafted handicraft.

Bodao Chuhai's eyes lit up and he carefully took the glass, as surprised as a princess in a fairy tale love story who received a crystal glass from the prince.

"What is this? So beautiful~~"

Bai Ye took the other cup and nodded to the waiter, who bent down and said slowly:

"This is our Crystal Fate's signature product, Crystal Grape Juice. Because the production process is complicated, Mr. Xiao notified us in advance. By the time you two arrive, it will be ready. Please enjoy it."

Bai Ye raised the crystal grape juice.

"That's my answer. When the grapes are ripe, we'll definitely meet again. Hmm... Although fate arrived a little earlier than planned, it seems not bad~"

Hashima Izumi understood the subtext.

Grapes ripen in August and September, which means they will definitely meet again at the summer comic exhibition.

Surprise and emotion were about to overflow from his eyes. Boshima Chukai always loved romantic love stories like those between princesses and princes, and he didn't expect to experience this romance again in reality today.

She could no longer resist the urge to be "willful" in her heart. Like a fairy tale princess, she supported her cheeks with her hands, blinked her beautiful brown eyes, and kept her eyes on the prince.

"Senior, it's only July now. Will grapes picked early be sweet?"

“Please believe that people’s efforts can create endless possibilities.”

Bai Ye raised his glass and clinked glasses.

"cheers?"

"Cheers~~"

……

Bodao Chuhai was half leaning on the smooth table. There were only water droplets attached to the glass beside him. He didn't know when the place in front of him was filled with various desserts and cakes, more than the banquet in the fairy tale book.

"Senior, we ordered so many cakes, can we finish them all?"

Bai Ye put down the pen and paper he was using to record, took a bite of the refreshing cake in front of him, cut off a bigger piece and handed it to Bodao on the plate that was about to go out to sea.

"Don't girls claim to have two stomachs? One for rice, one for dessert. And the dessert one is never full."

"That's because she didn't meet the senior."

After going out to sea, Bodao ate the refreshing cake that was handed to him. His head, filled with sugar, finally remembered the original purpose of coming to the coffee shop.

She put down her knife and fork gently without making any sound, and waited until Bai Ye put down his pen and paper again before speaking.

"Senior, have you forgotten something again?"

"I didn't forget." Bai Ye poured her tea. "I just thought that there was no need to ruin the wonderful afternoon tea time by leaving the troublesome and sad things to the last."

"But sooner or later you have to face it."

"Hajima-san, you're right." Bai Ye poured himself more tea and took a sip. The slight astringency of the tea dissipated the sweetness. "Whatever you want to ask, I'll try my best to tell you everything I know."

Podao Chuhai leaned forward, eager to ask the questions that had been holding in his mind for a long time.

"Senior, why did the relationship between you and Senior Renye become like this? It's like the two families in the story who have been enemies for generations. It wasn't like this at the beginning, right?"

Bai Ye did not answer immediately, but asked her a question in return.

"Hmm... before I answer, I'd like to ask you, Hasima-san, do you often play romance games, read romance manga, or read romance novels?"

PS: Reward progress report 55 (8057/10000), 5 updates are owed, this is a normal update.

Thanks to [Dian Niang I Hate You] for the 3 spicy strips, thank you very much!

The Sun Room has been updated, and there's no need to give it a recommendation vote?!

Chapter 317 The distance between us and Bodao suddenly shortened

Do you read romance novels and manga from time to time?

The result is affirmative.

"Little Love Rhapsody" is the first work of Hasumi Izumi, and it is itself a love galgame. She longs for the romantic love between princesses and princes in galgames, even though she knows that it is almost impossible to exist in reality.

She didn't understand why Senior Xiao suddenly asked this, but compared to this, she wanted to know the source of the resentment between Senior Xiao and Senior Lun Ye, so she quickly nodded in response.

"Since Hajima-san knows something about romance works, um...can I ask one more question? You can choose not to answer this one."

"Senior, please speak."

"Hajima-san, have you ever been in love? I don't mean in real life, I can also mean in the otaku sense. That way it will be much easier for me to explain."

Hatano Chuhai's pretty face flushed red, and she didn't know what to say for a moment. She rubbed her slender fingers against each other under the table. Gradually, the blush became more intense and even reflected on the glass.

"Not in real life, but you've also fantasized about dating cute girls in comics, right?"

"Hajima-san, you're asking me this question. Of course, everyone is an otaku~"

Bai Ye laughed heartily, very satisfied with the unexpected information he had obtained.

An innocent girl longing for love?

No wonder I can’t forget the little favors that Tomoya Aki did for me. The power of imagination is very strong!

He had asked enough questions, and if he continued to probe, it would surely arouse the vigilance of Bo Island going out to sea.

"This incident happened before Hasima-san joined Flash Girls, and it's pretty well-known in the club. However, I can only tell you the general idea in a low voice, otherwise Shiyu will get angry."

Bodao Chuhai nodded quickly to show her understanding, and her anxiety made her lean forward half of her body.

"If you mind, it's okay to say it in my ear."

"Well."

Bai Ye stood up and walked forward, soon reaching a distance where they could feel the warmth of each other's breath. A faint fragrance like fresh red peaches wafted into his nose, and he tucked a few strands of naughty hair hanging on his temples back behind his ears.

When Bodao went out to sea, she felt a slight itch on her face, like a goose feather brushing across her skin. The scent of the boy made her face red, but for some reason she didn't feel disgusted at all. Instead, she had an urge to straighten the other person's collar.

Under the sunlight, the two people's shadows intertwined.

"Shiyu used to have a crush on Aki-san, but now she's my girlfriend. The reason is that simple."

Before the roots of Bodao's ears turned red from his breath, Bai Ye returned to his seat.

The feeling from the White Night's aura slowly dissipated, and Bo Dao Chu Hai gradually regained his senses.

This reason was not beyond her expectations, but when she actually heard it from Bai Ye's mouth, surprise could not help but appear in her brown eyes.

"Why did Kasumigaoka-senpai transfer her feelings... Hmm... This doesn't sound right. Why did it turn out like this?"

"My personal opinion may seem one-sided to you. I think Shiyu's own explanation will be more convincing. If you insist on listening to me..."

Bai Ye took a sip of tea, and the taste of memories was sweet and bitter.

“After witnessing the darkest abyss and tasting its bitterness, one always longs to see the light again, order a favorite cake, and sit lazily in a coffee shop for an entire afternoon.”

Bodao went out to sea and looked out the window at the beautiful weather.

"is that so……"

"Hajima-san, you've read romance novels, so you should understand what girls want, right? The bubble of blindly admiring yourself will eventually burst. When that happens, will there be someone around to offer you some bubble water?"

Bo Dao Chu Hai was unable to answer for a moment.

"What about Sawamura-san? She was also very excited yesterday."

"The situation is roughly the same. The Summer Comic Con can't be organized by one person, so I'm Eriri's official supervisor now."

"Oh... then what about Kato-san?" Hasima Chukai asked the most urgent question.

Bai Ye smiled slightly.

"Xiaohui and I have known each other for a year, much earlier than she joined 'Flash Girls'."

Bai Ye said so much. Instead of explaining it clearly himself, it would be better to give Bodao a specific but vague answer about the direction of the sea. He believed that the other party's powerful imagination ability would not let him down.

Bodao Chuhai was half lying on the table, his brown-red eyes flickering as he stared at the glass, gradually becoming lost in thought.

This was completely different from the answer she heard from Senior Tomoya.

Betrayal, insidiousness, treachery... it's like the wailing of a demon from the abyss, which is disgusting.

In contrast, Boshima Chukai prefers to believe in sentimental love, romance, and beauty...

However, reality is not a fairy tale, and beauty is not the only color in reality.

She remembered something Bai Ye had said to her before.

"Senior, I will verify it myself!"

"That's great~" This is the answer Bai Ye wants to hear most.

Although the tea tastes bitter, it still has a sweet aftertaste.

Reality is not a fairy tale. Fairy tales can be written, but reality is reality. What happened has happened.

No matter how you use beauty to cover up ugliness, there will always be someone who remembers the real side.

. . . . . .

"Hajima-san, I've already told you what you wanted to know. Now, isn't it time to help me with my food review?"

Seeing Bai Ye pick up the pen and paper, Bo Dao Chu Hai nodded without hesitation.

I feel embarrassed already to be treated to a meal, how can I not help with this small favor?

"Senior, do you want to experience the feeling of being a girl, or..."

Jingle Bell--!

A rapid ring of the cell phone interrupted Bo Dao Chu Hai's words.

Bai Ye took out his cell phone, smiled at her apologetically, and then answered the call.

"Hello, it's Gouda-san, what's up?"

"The store renovation is almost done. How much is the approximate price?"

"One hundred thousand? I'll give you two hundred thousand. Take care of the rest of the miscellaneous items, and I won't supervise them. I'm very busy here."

……

When Bai Ye hung up the phone, he was met with the almost dull gaze of Bo Dao Chu Hai.

"Hey, hey—are you coming back to your senses?"
