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

"That should be it. Let's go, Xiaohui."

Bai Ye walked into the shop, walked up to the entrance and knocked on the wooden door.

After a while, a middle-aged maid came out, looked at Bai Ye and the others, bent down and greeted them:

"Welcome to the Tanaka family, my dear guests. What can I do for you?"

Bai Ye straightened his face.

The maid in front of him... no, or perhaps it would be more appropriate to call her a servant. She was not wearing the Shibuya maid outfit that otakus yearned for, but a more traditional Japanese-style servant outfit than the black and white maid outfit.

Moreover, the greeting he gave them was "I'm here" instead of "Come visit", which seemed to indicate that he already knew the purpose of their visit.

"It looks like a very traditional family."

Bai Ye looked at Kato Megumi beside him.

"Hello, nice to meet you. My name is Xiao Baiye, and the person next to you is my secretary. I'm visiting you today because our new store is opening, so I've brought a small gift with me. Please accept it."

"Hello, my name is Kato Megumi." Xiaohui put aside her usual expressionless face, and although her smile was formal, it was not rude.

"Hello, both of you." The middle-aged servant bowed again, letting go of his body to make a welcoming gesture, "Please come in, the master is at home today."

master?

It seems that this store has a great background.

Generally speaking, when people visit a new store to celebrate its opening, the host will just accept the gifts at the door and say a few polite words before leaving. It is rare for the host to invite the guests into the store.

However, this is exactly what Bai Ye wants. Maybe he can take the opportunity to promote his products and get an order.

"excuse me."

After entering the inner room, Bai Ye realized that this was a "grocery store".

Handmade flower arrangements, welcoming pines, hanging paintings, dolls, wooden pendants... everything is from the Edo period, giving people a feeling of time travel.

Suddenly, Bai Ye's gaze stopped on a low table for a few seconds.

"Bai Ye-kun?"

"fine."

If he was not mistaken, the style of this low table was about 70% similar to the dining table in the Sawamura family's small dining room.

It's a big family...

Soon, Bai Ye met the "master" mentioned by the maid, an old man with white hair and rosy face, who looked energetic.

"Master, these are the visiting guests, Mr. Xiao and Miss Kato."

What made Bai Ye feel relieved was that the old man's expression was not the stern and inflexible "old antique" he had imagined, but rather a calm demeanor with the air of someone who had experienced the ups and downs of the business world for a long time.

"Hello, Mr. Tanaka. I apologize for any inconvenience caused by your sudden visit. I would like to offer you a small gift. Please accept it."

Mr. Tanaka put down his teacup, his face showing three parts smile and seven parts restraint.

"Please take a seat, both of you."

"excuse me."

As soon as Bai Ye sat down, the maid brought the teapot, and the boiling hot tea flowed out, and the aroma of tea filled the air.

"You two are so young, young and talented, a perfect match, haha - don't blame me, an old man, I haven't seen such high-spirited young people in a long time. You rented for three years."

"You flatter me."

A small question mark emerged in Bai Ye's mind.

How did Mr. Tanaka know his lease period?

Suddenly, he remembered the name of this commercial street, which seemed to be "Tanaka Commercial Street".

He looked at Kato Megumi and felt that she had discovered the highlight just like him.

It seems that the entire commercial street belongs to him?!

"This shopping street was bustling with people a few decades ago, but now everyone's gone to Tokyo and Nagoya. It's really hard to find young people interested in it now."

"Mr. Tanaka, thank you for your praise."

Bai Ye smiled slightly.

The Shinkansen is not far from here, and the main road is the only way between Tokyo and Nagoya. Although most of the traffic has been taken away by the newly built commercial street, it is only the "commercial street" that has ended, not "Tanaka".

Moreover, he had a strange feeling.

Mr. Tanaka's words were not like polite exchanges between merchants, but more like "complaints" from seniors to juniors.

Just complain.

Bai Ye took a sip of tea. What he lacked the least was time and patience. He could often gain a lot of unexpected information and advantages through casual chatting.

"By the way, young man, do you know what day it is this week?"

PS: Reward progress report 57 (7204/10000), 5 updates are owed, this is a normal update.

Thanks to [Dian Niang I Hate You] for the 3 spicy strips.

This is necessary to advance the plot slowly and steadily.

Chapter 387 The night with Kato Megumi is coming?

What day will it be in two days?

The nearest major festival to today is the Yupenlan Festival, but that is next week. Although Mr. Tanaka is very old, Bai Ye doesn't think he would make such a small mistake.

Is there anything worth celebrating this week?

Bai Ye racked his brains but couldn't figure it out. He turned around and saw Kato Megumi frowning slightly. He couldn't think of a suitable answer.

However, in the eyes of businessmen, festivals represent business opportunities, and no one wants to miss a good opportunity to make money.

"Mr. Tanaka, is this related to the Yupen Lan Festival?"

"That's right." Mr. Tanaka took a sip of his tea. "Forty years ago, Tanaka Commercial Street opened on the Yu Pen Lan Festival. According to the lunar calendar, this year's anniversary celebration is this Sunday, and the Yu Pen Lan Festival is next Tuesday."

"Our old street has decided to have some fun on Sunday and not compete with those new commercial streets at the station for the Yu Pen Lan Festival. Let those little guys have fun on their own."

"Young men, now you are also part of Tanaka Commercial Street. Are you interested in playing with us old guys?"

What a good relationship!

Bai Ye was ecstatic. He was just wondering where to find a commercial performance for Icy Tail, and it was like a pillow being delivered to someone who was sleepy.

However, he did not show his inner feelings on his face, and his expression remained calm. He still had many unresolved questions.

"Isn't this weekend too little time to prepare?"

Mr. Tanaka poured himself a cup of tea without looking up.

"Then it's up to you. One more or one less doesn't make much difference. Anyway, everyone is just entertaining themselves."

"I understand. Thank you, Mr. Tanaka. I will attend this anniversary celebration."

. . . . . .

With gratitude, Bai Ye left the Tanaka family.

Standing at Tanaka's house and looking towards the intersection, there were several trucks parked at the intersection, and workers were loading and unloading iron frames, apparently building a stage to be used on the weekend.

Kato Megumi withdrew her gaze, lowered her head in thought for a moment, then raised her head and looked at Bai Ye.

"Bai Ye-kun, don't you think Mr. Tanaka is too enthusiastic? Although older people always like to be lively and cheerful."

Bai Ye took her hand and walked towards the warehouse.

"At first glance, it's really surprising, but if you think about it carefully, it should be reasonable."

"Hmm... Did Bai Ye-kun see something?"

Bai Ye smiled mischievously and scratched the tip of her nose with his finger.

"You mean Xiaohui didn't understand what was going on? Hoho~~ I'm a little excited~~"

Kato Megumi tilted her head and looked blank.

"Bai Ye-jun always finds excitement in strange and bizarre perspectives. Should I find this strange or is it reasonable? I suddenly feel like I'm being watched by danger."

"Xiao Hui, don't try to take advantage of this opportunity to label me as something strange again..."

There was no one around in the warehouse. Bai Ye rubbed his chin against her forehead, lifted the tips of her shoulder-length hair, and gently stroked the back of her neck like a caress.

"Itchy..." Kato Megumi struggled slightly.

"It's okay to be itchy. I feel itchy even when I'm holding Xiaohui~"

"While Bai Ye-kun is talking about me, could you please not take the opportunity to do something strange? It will be very troublesome for me."

"Well, we're both the same."

The slightly heated atmosphere disappeared, and Bai Ye tapped lightly on the table, playing a pleasant melody.

"Is it a table?" Kato Megumi looked thoughtful.

"Yes."

Bai Ye had no intention of hiding the truth from Kato Megumi. Even though the other party might not have a way to find out the truth, he did not underestimate her.

"The pattern on that table is very similar to the one in Eriri's small dining room. Maybe my aunt is helping me in secret."

"I see..." Kato Megumi stretched out her voice, sitting on the chair with a slightly fluctuating look in her eyes, "Getting help from Sawamura-kun, should we say that Byakuya-kun is lucky, or is it inevitable?"

I think Xiaohui, you have already given the answer.

"Don't think of me as a bad person who will do anything to get his results~~" Bai Ye got down from the table and sat next to her.

Assuming that Eriri has been eaten, getting help from the Sawamura family is an inevitable result, and Kato Megumi being jealous is also an inevitable result.

"I've always insisted on doing this, putting in the effort and getting the rewards. Xiaohui, you agree with me, right?"

"If it's a great truth, I might applaud Bai Yejun."

white night"……"

Put in effort and reap rewards, which can naturally be interpreted as: give love and reap a harem.

Bai Ye never thought that the girls would calmly accept the fact of becoming a member of the harem. It was actually a good thing for him that they were willing to show jealousy in their daily interactions.

The bad ending in School's Days is the inevitable result of the heroine's accumulated negative emotions.

Guidance is an essential part of building a harmonious harem.

"Okay, okay~~" Bai Ye brought a few more bags filled with gifts, "If Xiaohui has a good rest, we will continue to visit the next family. If Xiaohui is not here, I won't be able to go home even if the moon is high in the sky."

Kato Megumi's mouth twitched slightly, and she tucked her hair behind her ears and sighed.

"I really can't help it...Bai Ye-kun always says something offensive..."

"Because it's Xiaohui~~"

……

It's getting dark.

The lights of the small motorcycles are scattered on the road, and the lonely sunset can no longer support

There is a constant flow of traffic on the road and pedestrians are hurrying along.

Bai Ye looked at the rearview mirror and met Kato Megumi's gaze.

"Are you hungry, Xiaohui?"

"A little bit. I walked a lot today. It turns out that keeping a smile on my face is quite tiring."

Bai Ye shrugged.

"A formulaic smile, indeed... If I weren't driving, I'd try to crack my jaw to see if it was frozen."

"If it's Bai Ye-kun, then there shouldn't be any." Kato Megumi reached out and put her hand into Bai Ye's helmet mask from below, tapping his face. "I'm sure there isn't any. It's probably because his skin is too thick and his bones can't control it."

"If Xiaohui is talking about work-related entertainment, I would be very happy."

Bai Ye suddenly turned right and pulled over.

"Bai Ye-kun?"

Kato Megumi looked up and saw a bustling commercial district. Neon lights illuminated the dark cobblestone streets, and even the brown mask could not block the brilliant light above her head.
