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

"That's it..."

"Why are you asking that for no reason? Do you expect me to draw in public at the party, Hentai?"

Bai Ye shrugged, he didn't mean that.

Judging from the temperament of the Icy Tail members, they will definitely let Eriri go on stage to perform an impromptu performance later. I am just giving her a heads-up.

"Room 3, this is it."

Bingtang had been told in advance, so he turned the handle and the door opened.

Hearing the door open, Bingtang put down the water bottle and walked straight to the door.

"Aye, you're here~!"

"Yeah, I'm a little late, sorry."

"It's okay, it's okay. It's still half an hour until 6 o'clock. Are you going with Sawamura-san today?"

"Yeah, let's have dinner together later. If we don't have time to discuss the repertoire for the Yu Pen Lan Festival now, we can talk about it after dinner."

Bai Ye quietly patted Ying Lili's waist, and the latter came to her senses and immediately handed over the takeaway in her hand.

"Bai Ye bought you some fried pork chop sandwiches. Eat them while they're hot."

"Thanks! Sawamura-kun, feel free to sit down. Do you want to try playing the piano?"

"Let's give it a try. Just now, Hundan Baiye was still doubting me!"

Bingtang greeted the team members with takeout. Bai Ye greeted everyone one by one, then sat on a chair, looking at his phone while waiting for everyone.

The members of Icy Tail were busy guiding Eriri, who had almost forgotten how to play the piano, while Bingtang came over.

"Aye, would you like some water?"

"Thanks."

Bai Ye took the water thrown by Bingtang, who sat beside him with her delicate body slightly leaning forward.

"I've discussed the Yu Pen Lan Festival program with everyone. I have to say that it's quite difficult to combine traditional and popular elements, especially since you mentioned that most of the audience aren't young people or otaku."

Bai Ye shrugged.

"Just think of it as a street performance. Toyonosaki organizes street performances for students every year. Tsubaki Girls' High School should have one too, right?"

"Yes, but it's really not in line with Icy Tail's personality..." Bingtang sighed, holding the back of his head with his hands. "We've also been trying to find commercial performances recently. We originally thought we'd get some at coffee shops, but let alone commercial performances, we can't even find charity performances. It's too difficult without fame and connections..."

Bai Ye smiled.

"Come on, leave the connections to me."

At this moment, Bingtang suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, Ah Ye, Allen sent me a message this afternoon."

PS: Reward progress report 57 (392/10000), 6 updates are owed, this is a normal update.

Thanks to [Dian Niang I Hate You] for the 3 spicy strips and [Goddess●Beldandi] for the salty fish stabs.

Chapter 397: Reassuring Hyodo Michiru

Did Tomoya Aki also send a message to Bingtang?

Bai Ye thought about it carefully and felt that the other party's actions made sense.

After the last commotion at the coffee house, Eriri and Shiwa did not completely draw a line between themselves and Tomoya Aki. In name, they were still members of the "Flash Girls" club and needed to help complete "Flash Girls".

This is the case with Eriri and Shiwa, not to mention Michiru Hyodo who is almost neutral.

"I don't know if Shiyu and Xiaohui received the message. I'll ask them later."

"Aye, Aye, what are you thinking about?"

Bingtang waved his hand and brought Bai Ye back to consciousness.

"Nothing... By the way! Did Aki-san say anything?"

"Alan, he said..."

At this time, the Icy tail members came up to the two of them with happy smiles on their faces.

"Mr. Agent, Mr. Agent, I heard from Sawamura-san that you're going to treat everyone to dinner later?"

The topic was interrupted, so Bai Ye had to slow down.

"Yes, everyone is free, right? I'd like to treat you all to a meal after a long absence, as a way of celebrating the Yu Pen Lan Festival."

"Is the practice... so serious? It's like we're all going on a mission... But what is Mr. Agent planning to treat everyone to?"

"I want teppanyaki steak. I know a good place."

At this moment, Eriri, who had just finished playing the piano, happened to hear these words and her cheeks immediately puffed up.

"Huh? You didn't tell me when I asked you just now. You're playing secretive and trying to trick me!"

"Is there something wrong with you, a freeloader?"

The members of Icy Tail cheered and went to pack up, leaving Bai Ye to glance at Ying Lili from time to time, and then shrugged at Bingtang.

"Bingtang, let's talk while we eat later."

“Okay~~”

"What are you talking about?" Eriri gave him a suspicious look.

Bai Ye picked up her ponytail and poked her face.

"Let's talk about Aki-san. Think about what I said before I left. What's going on in your little head~"

"Tsk..." Eriri pouted.

……

Bai Ye and his group came to a teppanyaki beef restaurant.

A big man in a chef's robe stood in the lobby and waved at Bai Ye.

"Mr. Xiao is here."

"Sorry to bother you, boss. I was stuck in traffic."

"You're welcome. I received a call from Mr. Xiao at noon, so I reserved a table for him. If Mr. Xiao's spices don't arrive today, it's still a question whether we can open the store today, hahahaha——"

When Ying Lili heard this, her eyebrows raised and the complaints in her eyes became much less.

"You... booked this place at noon?"

"Didn't you say you wanted to have a steak dinner?" Bai Ye touched her little head and patted it again. "Okay, we don't have that much time to impress you. Let's order the food first and then talk about classmate Aki."

"Uh-huh!!"

Without much discussion, Bai Ye, Bing Tang and Ying Lili sat together, facing the other three members of Icy Tail.

"It's a 4-seater, but if we squeeze in, we can still seat 6. Eriri, do you want to sit inside?"

The girl with twin ponytails gestured the distance with her hands, raised her head and said:

"If I sit inside, will I be squeezed into a meat patty?"

"It's hard to say..." Bai Ye looked serious.

"Hey! You talk the same way as that fat woman in black stockings in Kasumigaoka... You're always trying to trick me. I want to sit outside."

"Sure! If you sit outside, you'll be responsible for pouring tea and serving food."

Yinglili "..."

It’s not that she doesn’t want to help, but she finds it annoying to be disturbed while she’s having a big meal.

"If Sawamura-kun doesn't want to, then I'll sit outside, and you sit in the middle, Ah Ye!"

"Uh-huh--"

Bingtang sat down and continued chatting.

"Speaking of Kasumigaoka-senpai, it seems she stayed at Sawamura-san's house very late yesterday."

"You know all this?" Ying Lili was stunned.

"Last night, Kasumigaoka-san and I were chatting, and we happened to talk about you, Sawamura-san."

"Chat?" Bai Ye asked in confusion.

He was a little surprised. When did Bingtang and Shiyu become so close?

"Yes, Kasumigaoka-senpai told me about the progress and work schedule for 'Gourmet Handbook' and 'Flash Girls'. She said she'll be very busy for a while and that unexpected things might happen."

Shiyu talked about "Flash Girl"?

It seems that Shiyu had already noticed that something was wrong with Aki Tomoya, and communicated with Bingtang in advance to obtain information.

I only noticed something was wrong after talking to Eriri today. I've been slacking off lately...

"Is Ah Ye worried about something?"

Bai Ye pondered for a few seconds.

Bingtang is Tomoya Aki's cousin. Although his reason tells him that Bingtang may leak information inadvertently, he still chooses to believe Bingtang.

Of course, he didn't want to make the atmosphere too serious.

"Bingtang, have you been to Aki's house recently?"

"No, I've been working or practicing piano lately. I hang out with Aye and the others on weekends, so I don't have time to go to Allen's house."

"Is that so...? What else?"

"other……"

Bingtang suddenly noticed that Bai Ye's expression was a little hesitant, so he nudged his chest with his elbow, and their eyes met with relief.

"Don't be nervous. I know what's important and what's not. I can't help it since Allen can't let go."

Bai Ye smiled with pursed lips.

Are your feelings so obvious?

"Actually, there is one more thing." Bingtang continued.

"what's up?"

"The one who sent me a message today wasn't Allen, but Iori Hasima."

Iori Hajima?

It wasn't Aki Tomoya who sent the message to Bingtang, but it was actually Hajima Iori?!

Bai Ye really didn't expect this.

"Bingtang told me before that Iori Hatajima might have a crush on her."

"But the last time I went to the Hasima family, I revealed my relationship with Bingtang to Hasima Iori. Logically, she should have given up on it."

"Are you still harboring evil intentions?"

Bai Ye felt that it was possible.

Aki Tomoya wants Xiaohui, and Hatashima Iori wants Bingtang. They both have a common rival in love, so the possibility of them joining forces is as high as 99.99%.

"Bingtang, how did you reply? Do you want to go?"

Bingtang waved his hand with an indifferent expression.

"They said they'll have a meeting on Saturday or Sunday. If there's no performance at the Yubonran Festival, I might go. But when I think about it, it feels suspicious that Iori Hasima sent me a message instead of Allen..."

"Too."

Bai Ye would not make himself boring by saying something like "Hajima Iori has a crush on Bingtang".

He picked up the soft bud of rock sugar from underneath and wrapped it in his palm.

"Bingtang, if you have any troubles, just tell me."

"Hehe~~"

At this moment, he felt someone pushing him.

"Eiriri?"
