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

"It's precisely because of times like this that we have to seize every minute and second of relaxation..." Bai Ye sighed to the sky, trying to raise the corners of his mouth as his breath faded. "Imagine yourself as a brave dragon slayer, and you'll gain courage and momentum. Shiyu, do you want to try it too?"

"Thanks for the advice, but if you're too imposing, be careful of the prophecy of 'the dragon slayer eventually becomes a dragon'."

Bai Ye nodded. Playing with people's hearts always evokes a crisis of walking on thin ice.

Halfway through the two-hour crisis, Bai Ye suddenly discovered that Aki Tomoya seemed to be losing his patience. He often made mistakes at work and was often reminded by his colleagues.

"Aki-kun, there's an extra bag of nuts in your gift bag."

"Yeah...thanks for the reminder."

Bai Ye withdrew his gaze from him and sighed inwardly, "It's troublesome."

Given the other person's stubborn and irritable nature, it is very rare for him to endure for an hour watching the person he likes chatting with the opposite sex and smiling from time to time.

What should you do if there is a risk of the barrel of explosives detonating prematurely?

Fly into the fire?

At this time, the sound of gongs and drums came from outside the warehouse, like firecrackers and thunder from the sky, which instantly attracted everyone's attention.

"Has the anniversary celebration started?" Bai Ye muttered softly.

The noisy sound of the huge crowds is the best expression of joy, and it is also the best fig leaf to cover up the invisible undercurrents surging beneath the bright lights.

puff-

Bai Ye seemed to hear someone's heartbeat.

"Shiyu, go watch the warehouse door for a while. I'm worried some tourists might get lost and come in."

"Then it would be better for her to go back to school and be retrained." Shiyu shrugged.

She complained and walked towards the warehouse door, placing her notebook and pen on the table where Kato Megumi was working.

Then, she met a "tourist" as soon as she went out.

A pair of carefree golden ponytails, walking with a leisurely pace.

"Kasumigao Hill?"

"Yo, here we come."

Seeing her expected expression, Eriri blinked and looked her up and down.

"Why are you greeting me like an old lady?"

"Huh? I thought you were going to ask me why I was here~"

Ying Lili muttered secretly: It would be strange if this fat woman in black stockings didn't follow Bai Ye.

"Isn't this exactly what you want? I'm not stupid enough to be teased by you all the time. I just don't want to follow your rhythm."

"Don't press it, I'm not in the mood today."

Shiyu walked forward a few steps, slightly away from the warehouse door, then stood on tiptoe to look behind Eriri. Wherever her eyes looked, there was a sea of unfamiliar faces, but she didn't see any face that looked even slightly like Eriri.

"Where's Auntie?"

"You still know my mother is here. That's right, that guy Bai Ye..."

Following the other person's gaze, Eriri turned her head.

"Mom, isn't she following me... Huh? Where's my mom?!"

Yinglili also followed Shiyu's example and stood on tiptoe to look into the distance, but still couldn't find her mother, so she had to scratch her head.

"When Mom came out, she was clearly with me, Icy Tail and the others. How come she disappeared after turning a corner?"

"Why are you asking me? You're not my mother." Shiyu spread her hands.

Yinglili "..."

"Mom might have gone to an event. She's a grown-up, so she won't get lost." Eriri shook her twin ponytails, putting the matter behind her. "Why are you, Kasumigaoka, looking for my mom? Are you trying to take advantage of this opportunity to complain?"

Shiyu was speechless and sighed, holding her forehead.

If my aunt had acted as a mediator, the ensuing quarrel might have been avoided. How come we ended up going to the show by such a coincidence?

Is this life?

"Eri, are you going to the show?"

"Yes, the show is about to start so I came to call you. Uh...it's not that I don't want to help you, but Bai Ye didn't let me come, and mom also wanted me to stay."

"That's okay, Eriri, if you want to see the show, go now."

"What about you?"

"We'll probably need another hour, um... maybe two hours."

"Why is it taking so long? Hyodou-san and the others are going to go on stage in an hour."

"something."

Hearing that she seemed to be abandoned, Eriri subconsciously pursed her lips, and a feeling of dissatisfaction brewed in her chest.

"I was the first one to help Bai Ye pack and deliver the goods, okay? Are you trying to tease me by saying I'm a young lady who has never done anything dirty?"

"When did this happen?"

"The first week I met Bai Ye, the first week, earlier than all of you!" Ying Lili clenched her fists and grabbed the hem of her exquisite little dress, wrinkling it into ugly wrinkles.

"I shouldn't have worn a dress earlier. Byakuya was worried I'd get my clothes dirty so he didn't call me along. He left Kasumigaoka and Kato-san to be affectionate with each other in the warehouse, and even said he'd hug me and hold me until the show. Seriously..."

Thinking of this, Eriri reached out and grabbed the apron that Shiyu was wearing.

"Do you still have an apron? I'm not here to help because Bai Ye agreed to watch the show with me. We just know each other. If you think I'm a good-for-nothing lady, wouldn't that be unfair to me?"

Shiyu hummed a smile, a hint of tenderness in her eyes, but soon the smile on her lips collapsed.

"Don't get me wrong, I don't mean what you say. It's just that something's going on in the warehouse right now, and if you get involved you might end up getting really annoyed."

"Isn't it just packing gift packages? How difficult can it be? I have more experience than you. Humph~"

Seeing her raising her twin ponytails proudly, Shiyu decided not to stop her and moved aside.

"Since Eriri-san is so experienced, please come in~"

Eriri gave him a suspicious look but didn't stop.

"By the way, Bai Ye has hired some people, right? Let him hire a few reliable ones. He also wants us to work together. He's treating us to dinner tonight! If it weren't for the pocket money... No! I'm here to help because of the salary. Unlike you and Katou-san, who are always with Bai Ye, craving Bai Ye's hentai body..."

"Hey, hey--" Shiyu originally wanted to stop her, but for some reason, she felt a force in her heart and grabbed the hand she had extended.

Eriri complained proudly as she walked into the warehouse, her voice so loud that she didn't even try to hide it.

Then, she finally understood why Kasumigaoka Utaha kept asking herself whether she should get involved.

"Ren Ye, why are you here..."

PS: Reward progress report 57 (5510/10000), 5 updates are owed, this is a normal update.

Thanks to [Dian Niang I Hate You] for 3 spicy strips, [Yi Ye Zhi Shi] for 2 spicy strips, and [Zui Qiang Mang Zhe] for 2 spicy strips.

Chapter 406: Arguing with a radio and a barrel of explosives?

A loud thunderclap suddenly sounded, marking the beginning of the anniversary celebration of Tanaka Commercial Street and also igniting the long-suppressed atmosphere in the warehouse.

Shiyu gave Bai Ye an apologetic look, and the latter shrugged to indicate that it was okay.

Bai Ye put down his phone and smiled at the confused Ying Lili.

"I thought Eriri's arrival would disrupt the situation, but I didn't expect her to arrive with a radio in one hand and a powder keg in the other..."

But there is some good news. Thanks to Sayuri Sawamura, he at least doesn't have to worry about Icy Tail's performance anymore and can focus on what is happening at hand.

[I'm accompanying Icy Tail.]

[Xiao Jun, come on (? o_o)?]

These two simple sentences made Bai Ye understand that his aunt knew what happened in the warehouse, even though he didn't know how she knew it.

"Auntie means for us to solve it ourselves..."

"But being able to help look after Icy Tail and prevent Aki-san from affecting Bingtang is already a blessing in disguise."

Bai Ye picked up several bags of packaged gifts and handed them to Miyanozawa.

"Mr. Miyano, leave the rest to us."

"Good boss."

Miyanozawa waved to the other two porters, and then they left the warehouse.

Now that everything has been arranged, Bai Ye rubbed his heart and turned to look at Aki Tomoya, who had been motionless and silent since Eriri came in.

Sighs are the prelude to melancholy.

"There's no need to suppress yourself, Aki-kun. Just say whatever you want to say."

Aki Tomoya frowned, but the thick glasses at the bottom of the bottle could not hide the gloom in his eyes. He glanced at Eriri who was standing with Shiyu, and his gaze finally focused on Kato Megumi's face.

"Why are you here?"

"You didn't sound doubtful. I'm sure you know it well, An Yi. Do I need to mention it again?"

Bai Ye raised the non-existent glasses on the tip of his nose, and his eyes gradually became more intimidating without anger as his hands blocked the light, without waiting for the other party's reply.

"Let me mention it again, Shiyu, Eriri, and Xiaohui all work for me. What you just heard, no matter who said it, was not a joke."

"What?!" Aki Tomoya suddenly jumped up, strode up to Bai Ye, and glared at him.

"What do you think?" Bai Ye crossed his arms over his chest, his aura soaring into the sky.

Last time at Coffee's house, everyone spoke up for him, now it's his turn to help everyone.

"Stop using your work on 'Flash Girls' as an excuse. Everyone understands what you're thinking. There's no need to expose this to the public. As far as we're concerned, who would acknowledge your actions?!"

"Shiyu sent you the revised script last night. Eriri's work is indeed unfinished, and no one will stop you from rushing it. Go now!"

"As for Xiaohui's job, as the heroine's opinion... I'm sorry, I've never seen such a ridiculous job. Just relying on one's own understanding and wanting to be a hands-off boss."

Even quarrels should be conducted in an orderly manner. Whoever gets angry and loses his rationality first will be at a disadvantage.

Bai Ye deliberately did not bring up the relationship issue first, but instead brought up work in order to interrupt the other party's rhythm.

As expected, upon hearing Bai Ye's "one-sided" description, Aki Tomoya exploded instantly.

"I'm just a hands-off boss?!"

"'Flash Girls' is the club I founded, and it was me who proposed making the game. How could I just sit back and do nothing? It's you, Senior Xiao, who used all sorts of excuses to hinder me, deceived everyone, and kept delaying the progress, which led to the current situation!"

Deceiving everyone?

Bai Ye couldn't help but snort.

Before he could say anything, Shiyu behind him couldn't help but walk forward, staring at Aki Tomoya with her eyes.

"If Xiaobai-kun deceives everyone, then who are you, Tomoya-kun?"

"Senior Shiyu..."

Aki Tomoya recalled how senior Shiyu treated him half a year ago, which was completely different from how she treated him now. Looking at her angry eyes, his eyes suddenly widened with anger.

He felt like he was being given charity.

"Senior Shiyu, you weren't like this before. Don't you regret becoming like this?"

Shiyu frowned slightly, feeling that the other party was losing his mind bit by bit.

"I may feel guilty about what I've done, but I never regret it. Whether it was because I had feelings for you and agreed to help produce 'Flash Girls', or because I later fell in love with Xiaobai-kun and felt guilty about it, I never regretted it."

At this time, Eriri also stepped forward.

She was very resistant to what Tomoya Aki had just said.

She could feel that her feelings towards Tomoya Aki had changed. Could it be that she would regret it too?

"Renye, you're here to work too, right? Do you have the right to criticize us? You're arguing right after we met. Don't you regret it?!"

"Why should I regret it? I'm working part-time to earn money for 'Flash Girls'. I should say I regret walking into this place. And what do you mean by that, Eriri?!"

Eriri was so angry that she grabbed her twin ponytails with both hands.

She just wanted to help Bai Ye finish his work quickly and then watch the show together. She didn't want to argue with anyone here.

"You've ruined my good mood. It's so annoying!"
