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

"Senior Xiao, haven't you had lunch yet? It's so late."

"Not yet..." Bai Ye scratched his head, a trace of fatigue flashing in his eyes. "I was busy until late last night and fell asleep immediately. I don't know if I didn't hear the alarm or didn't set it this morning, but I woke up at 1 o'clock. I quickly washed up and came here."

I feel the same way as Boshima when she goes out to sea. These past two days, she paints after eating and falls asleep when she is tired of painting.

"I see. You've worked hard, Senior."

"Hajima-san, you must be tired after the journey. You can order whatever you want."

"No need, I've already had lunch." Bodao Chuhai shook his head.

"It would be awkward for me to eat alone, and I got the promotion commission for this restaurant from an acquaintance. It's also one of the target stores for the 'Food Guide.' I've discussed with the owner that we'll serve very small portions of each dish so we don't have to worry about waste."

Since Bai Ye said this, it would be hard to refuse Bodao's request to go out to sea.

She was a little hungry too.

Drawing is very tiring and she usually prepares some snacks to eat in the afternoon, but she has been short of money recently, so she has to give up eating for the time being. She was also busy coloring for a while before going out today.

Hajima Izumi took the menu handed to him by Bai Ye.

"Pork cheeks, pork shoulder, beef short ribs...Huh? Is this a barbecue restaurant?"

"Yes, the smokeless barbecue restaurant."

Following Bai Ye's direction, Bo Dao went out to the sea and saw the hidden electric grill in the table and a range hood above his head.

The electric oven only needs a piece of baking paper, and when you are not using the electric oven, you can remove it and use it as an ordinary table.

"Mr. Bodao, what do you think are the advantages of smokeless grilling over charcoal grilling?"

My senior asked me questions about the "Food Handbook"?

It was fun to go out to sea on Bo Island.

"Since it's smokeless and charcoal-fired, then the biggest advantage should be that it's smokeless, right? After all, it's quite troublesome to deal with clothes that have the smell of charcoal on them."

This was her personal experience when going out to sea in Bo Island. If she had known in advance that Senior Xiao was going to a charcoal barbecue restaurant, she would definitely not dress too formally, but would wear casual clothes.

If it's a smokeless grill, it won't matter.

"Yes, because the smell of charcoal fire is troublesome to deal with, and people may want to go shopping afterwards, so this leads to a phenomenon."

Byakuya pointed inside the store, causing Hasima to think.

Hashima looked around the store and wondered what the "phenomenon" Bai Ye mentioned was.

Environment? Food? Service?

After thinking for a long time, she still couldn't come up with an answer that satisfied her.

"Hmm... the environment is very clean? Because it's a smokeless barbecue, the walls won't be blackened by the smoke, and there won't be any charcoal burn marks on the table. Hmm... and it feels quieter than a charcoal barbecue restaurant. Is that right, senior?"

"That's about it. You've pretty much hit the mark. One more thing... Has Hashima-san noticed the guests?"

guest?

When Bodao went out to sea, he suddenly realized it.

"Food Handbook" is a reading material, so of course it should serve readers, and readers are the customers of the store.

"The guests...the guests...they all seem to be quite young. Is it because it's summer vacation?"

"That's right. The target audience of the Food Handbook is young people and office workers, and most of the customers of this restaurant are young people, office workers, and couples."

Bai Ye took a sip of lemonade and continued:

"Because charcoal grilling can stain clothes, young couples prefer smokeless barbecues. After lunch, they have things to do in the afternoon, maybe go shopping, or go to the movies, I don't know... In short, it's a good idea not to stain clothes and makeup."

"As for boys eating barbecue with other boys, they don't care whether it smells like fireworks or not, it's all the same anyway."

"Young couple..."

After going out to sea and observing carefully, Bodao found that it was indeed as Bai Ye said, almost half of the guests were male and female pairs.

Suddenly, her pretty face flushed, and her brown eyes flashed with messy waves.

"Now that I'm with my senior, will others think we're a couple?"

"No, no, no! What is this... Don't let your imagination run wild! Senior has a girlfriend!"

"Hashima, don't forget why you're here to meet up with us today!"

"Hajima-san, Hajima-san?"

Bai Ye brought Bodao back to sea. When their eyes met, he suddenly felt a little flustered and couldn't help but fiddle with his bangs.

"Ah, ah... Is there something wrong, Senior?"

"Have you thought of something? I'm going to starve to death if I wait any longer..."

Bai Ye made a funny gesture of "fainting from hunger", which made Bo Dao Chu Hai laugh.

"Senior, what do you like to eat?"

"I like all meat." Bai Ye shrugged. "As for you, don't try to please me. Just order whatever you like. Each portion is not big anyway."

"So, can I have one portion each of short ribs, ribs, and pork belly? It seems like I haven't had any in ages."

"Just write it down and tell me what you think after you eat it."

Bai Ye handed the menu to the waiter and continued chatting.

"I've discovered that Hasima-san is very knowledgeable about food. That's great!"

"Thank you for the award, Senior~"

"If you want to be included in the Gourmet Handbook, you need to have a keen intuition about food. Although Hajima-san didn't get a perfect score, he's still excellent!"

Upon hearing this, surprise flashed in Bodao Chuhai's eyes, and he looked at Bai Ye, who had the expected look in his eyes.

"Senior, how did you know..."

"Pay more attention to girls' moods and respond to their needs. This is the basic requirement of being a gentleman."

How could Bai Ye not know that if he guessed correctly, as soon as he entered the door, Bodao Chuhai was thinking about what topic to use to turn to joining the "Food Handbook" club.

Since Bodao Chukai has realized that joining the "Food Handbook" is the only and best way at the moment, Bai Ye's goal has been achieved, and there is no need to embarrass her anymore.

This was indeed the case. While thinking about how to start the conversation, I handed over the comic book I had carefully prepared.

Bai Ye's observation of her words and expressions made her feel more comfortable, and a huge stone fell from her heart. She looked at Bai Ye with more gratitude and appreciation.

However, comics are still necessary!

"Senior, wait a minute!"

I was so excited about going out to sea on Bo Island that I almost lost control of myself. My trembling hands even dropped the bag when I opened it for the first time. I only managed to open the zipper the second time.

The sound of deep breathing was heard softly, and with a blushing face, Hashima Chukai respectfully handed over the manuscript that he had worked on for two days and nights.

"Please take a look at this, Senior. I hope my drawing ability can be recognized by you!"

Chapter 329: How to deal with the threat from Midoriya Aki

"Let me see, let me see..."

Bai Ye felt that just based on the hard-working attitude of Hashima Chukai towards his expectations, it was enough to put Aki Tomoya to shame.

Just before Bai Ye took the manuscript, Hatano Chuhai tightened his grip on the paper, leaving several visible marks on the paper.

"Senior, you really are an otaku, right?"

white night"???"

Strange question.

Bai Ye thought to himself that he had revealed his identity as an otaku countless times, so what made Hasima Izumi show concern for his otaku identity that even he himself didn't need to worry about?

However, since the other party asked, the response is.

"Hmm...Hajima-san has never been to my house, otherwise he probably wouldn't have asked this question. It's a bit difficult for me to suddenly prove my otaku status. Hmm...is this okay?"

Bai Ye took out the K-on keychain he carried with him. It was his treasure and also his "wife".

Bodao breathed a sigh of relief, then secretly regretted it and quickly explained:

"I'm not doubting you, Senior, or anything like that, it's just... it's just... um... please take a look for yourself, Senior!!"

Seeing that she was almost ready to die, Bai Ye's curiosity was also hanging over him, and he took the manuscript with great anticipation.

Then he understood.

Damn it——!

This Hajima goes out to sea, is it another Eriri?!

No, Hasima Izumi's works are suitable for all ages and are not as exaggerated as Eriri's.

"That's it...that's it..."

Bai Ye didn't smile, but instead fiddled with his chin, with a serious look on his face, and nodded thoughtfully.

This scene grabbed Bodao Chuhai's attention, and curiosity overwhelmed his shame.

"Uh... why did you react like that, Senior?"

"Is it strange?" Bai Ye asked back.

"That's weird!" Nagisa Izumi couldn't help but slap the table and stood up. "Any normal person would be shocked when seeing my comics. Even if they weren't shocked, they would blush, right? Why are you so calm, senior?!"

"Because I'm a gentleman."

Bai Ye's answer made Bo Dao Chu Hai feel ashamed.

"Actually, it's not that I wasn't surprised, but I thought of something else."

"Where?"

"Do all the beautiful girls like you, who are school beauties, like such an open style of painting?"

Bo Island sails out to sea "..."

Although she was happy to be praised for her beauty, she could still hear the hidden meaning in Bai Ye's reply.

"Is there a cartoonist like this around you, Senior?"

"Even more exaggerated than you!" Bai Ye smiled helplessly and waved his hand, "I dare not tell you who it is now, but you will know sooner or later."

"oh oh."

Although Bai Ye didn't say it explicitly, Bo Dao Chu Hai also had his own answer.

……

The fight is over and the food is served.

"It's finally time for lunch. Leave the grilling to me. Let me show you my cooking skills, Hasima-san!"

"Senior, are you good at cooking?"

"If you're studying abroad and have the means, don't skimp on your stomach. Saving money all the time is useless. Only when you know how to spend money can you know how to make money... Um... I'm getting off track. Eat, eat, eat!"

Yesterday, Podao went to the sea and saw Bai Ye's knife skills, so he believed in his cooking skills. But even if he didn't believe it, there was nothing he could do because his cooking skills were only limited to the cooking class in school.

Under the heat, the aroma of meat soon wafts out of the pot. Even with the help of a range hood, the fragrance still continues to fill your nose.

There are only 4 pieces of beef tongue in a plate, which is enough for two mouthfuls when shared between two people.

"It's a shame I won't be the one to handle the ingredients, but Hajima-san should have the chance to see my true culinary skills soon."

Bai Ye hinted at this, and Bo Dao Chu Hai naturally understood it.

"Senior, are you willing to let me join the Gourmet Handbook?!"

"I am willing, but there is one problem."

Bai Ye put the freshly grilled beef tongue into her bowl, and Bo Dao Chu Hai no longer cared about being hungry and asked hurriedly:

"Any other questions, Senior? If they're on my side, I'll definitely solve them!"
