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

"Aki-san, I regret this a little bit."

"Don't, Senior Xiao!"

Seeing Bai Ye hovering the mouse on "Delete", Aki Tomoya quickly clasped his hands together and apologized.

"The cost of making games has been so high lately. Plus, the show is set to air mid-April, and the related figures, BDs, and booklets are all coming out. My newspaper delivery salary isn't enough! Senior Xiao, can you understand how it feels to not be able to buy your favorite figures?!"

“There will definitely be club activities later!”

Cute things are most likely to arouse people's desire to collect. On Bai Ye's bookshelf is a complete set of 1/8 K-on figures.

Who hasn’t had the experience of spending a lot of money and then eating instant noodles for a month?

"I understand, but..."

Bai Ye is not a pushover either. Now he needs information from the society even more.

"But what?" Aki Tomoya grasped at the straw of apology.

"Can you tell me why you suddenly want to play a love game?"

. . . . . .

Compared to the huge crowds just after school, at 4 o'clock, when students are finishing school and office workers are leaving get off work, the number of pedestrians on the street can be counted with the naked eye.

Aki Tomoya brought Bai Ye to a slope, and looked up at the top of the slope from the bottom. His eyes were shining and his expression became gradually pious. The slope in front of him had become a holy place in his heart.

"Senior Xiao, do you know?"

"do not know."

Bai Ye's words immediately brought Aki Tomoya back to reality. His eyes darkened and he pressed his glasses on the bridge of his nose.

"Senior Xiao, you're such a spoiler. You've ruined my interest in visiting the holy land."

"I don't want to be told that by a fellow otaku like you. Besides, Touma and Sa are number one."

"I'm a staunch supporter of Setsuna. Setsuna is not only a legendary singing idol, but also gentle and kind. She's a rare beauty!"

Bai Ye spread his hands.

"Sorry, I'm a black, straight-haired person. Besides, isn't everyone in the anime a beautiful girl?"

"Too......"

After a meaningless "quarrel", Tomoya Aki's eyes lit up again.

"Senior Xiao, do you know?"

"do not know."

An Yilun also "..."

Seeing him looking for someone to devour, Bai Ye was also drunk.

"How would I know your experience? Since you asked me that, I can only answer you this way."

"Don't the protagonists in comics always start their stories with 'Did you know?'"

"This is reality, Aki-san."

"Senior Xiao, you really don't understand the romance of a otaku!"

Bai Ye also adjusted the non-existent glasses on his nose.

"I've turned into light. I'm going back to the M78 Nebula. Call me if there are monsters destroying the world."

After another meaningless "quarrel", as soon as Aki Tomoya opened his mouth, he immediately turned his head vigilantly and stared at Bai Ye, fearing that he would be interrupted again.

Bai Ye shrugged in response.

"You continue, I won't say anything."

Seeing this, Aki Tomoya talked about his first meeting with Kato Megumi on the slope during spring break.

"I rushed over to pick up the hat, and the moment I turned around, I seemed to see the heroine in the game. The desire to play a love game at that moment burst into my heart like cherry blossoms blooming in spring!"

"So I found Eriri and Shiyu-senpai, then met Kato the day before yesterday, and then I found you, Xiao-senpai."

"Senior Xiao, as a fellow otaku, can you understand how touching this is?!"

Bai Ye saw the light of yearning for dreams in his eyes, smiled slightly, and thought of his own persistence. Wasn’t it also for the sake of his dreams?

“Who has a dream? It’s great…”

Bai Ye was immersed in memories, and Aki Tomoya next to him added something.

"Senior Xiao, I only mentioned this to you, please don't tell anyone else."

Bai Ye turned his head with a puzzled smile.

"Are you kidding or serious?"

"Absolutely, absolutely, absolutely serious!"

"If Sawamura-san and Kasumigaoka-san ask about it, I don't think they'll let you off so easily, Aki-san."

What surprised Bai Ye was that Aki Tomoya also shook his head.

"It has nothing to do with them. I just don't want to mention it to too many people."

"I think the moment Aki-san said this, a very bad ending was already doomed."

"But no matter how bad it gets, I want to see the day when I can finish Flash Girl."

After the time of dreaming passed, Bai Ye had a certain understanding of the prototype of "Flash Girl".

"Goodbye, Senior Xiao."

Aki Tomoya waved and turned left at the top of the hill.

"Goodbye, let's talk online if you have anything."

Turning right at the top of the slope is the direction of home, but Bai Ye walked towards the bottom of the slope instead.

Because there is a small supermarket there.

"I didn't expect there was a small supermarket here. Let's buy all the food and snacks for the next few days."

Greeted by the salesperson's gentle "Welcome", Bai Ye pushed the shopping cart and began to stroll around freely, occasionally picking up items he had never seen before and stopping to examine them.

Since it was my first visit, exploring the unknown was the most exciting thing. In Neon, almost every small supermarket has its own unique products.

"The cabbage and potatoes are quite fresh. The beef is a little pricey but looks good. Do you want to try making curry tomorrow? Where are the curry cubes?"

With the excitement of finding treasure, Bai Ye embarked on a journey to find curry blocks.

"Hmm... I see the freezer. Let's buy some oolong tea first."

A cool breeze blew on his face. Bai Ye put down the curry cubes temporarily and turned to walk towards the freezer window.

Doing whatever you want is the most comfortable thing.

Just as he walked into the freezer, Bai Ye inadvertently caught a glimpse of a departing figure from the corner of his eye, and his attention was immediately attracted.

The graceful figure was wearing a white skirt, white lining and a red jacket, and she was inconspicuous in the crowd.

As for why Bai Ye was attracted to her, it was because Qianying's outfit was very similar to the outfit that Kato Megumi wore when Aki Tomoya mentioned his encounter with her just now.

"It can't be such a coincidence, right?"

But the beautiful figure had already disappeared into the cupboard at the corner, and Bai Ye didn't have time to see her face clearly, but he had no intention of chasing after her.

Doesn't it make you look like a stalker if you chase after a girl just to get a clearer look at her?

Even if it was Kato Megumi, he wasn't familiar enough with her to chase her and say hello.

The beautiful figure in his mind drifted away with the wind, and Bai Ye began to choose oolong tea, as well as coffee and juice for staying up late tonight.

After choosing the oolong tea he liked, Bai Ye's happy mood was suddenly snatched away by the fragrance of locust flowers that drifted into his nose, and the figure of Kato Megumi inexplicably flashed through his mind.

“A familiar taste…”

Regardless of whether there is a drink called Sophora japonica tea in the supermarket, if you can smell it, you should be more worried about the quality of the drink.

When Bai Ye was subconsciously searching for the smell of locust flowers again, a greeting came to his ears.

"Senior Xiao?"

The girl's voice is plain, but this plainness is her most distinctive symbol.

"Hello, Kato-san."

Chapter 8 Shopping with Kato Megumi

"Senior Xiao?"

The girl who appeared before him was Kato Megumi, who had eyes like locust flowers.

Kato Megumi leaned forward slightly with a shopping basket on her arm. Her movement was frozen at the moment when she gently tucked the hair behind her ears. Although her expression was still expressionless, her action unexpectedly revealed a hint of girlish charm.

"Hello, Kato-san."

When the scene you imagined in your mind becomes reality, no matter whether it is beautiful or not, please accept it calmly.

What Bai Ye was thinking in his heart was undoubtedly a beautiful dream.

His eyes moved from Kato Megumi's face to the shopping basket in her arms, and he figured everything out.

If he remembered correctly, Kato Megumi didn't have a shopping basket in her hand just now. She should have gone to the store door to get the shopping basket first, and then returned.

After all, it is quite tiring to carry a 3-liter bottle of oolong tea in one hand.

The slender waist and plump chest support the lace of the clothes just right. The white hat and shoulder-length bob haircut highlight the girl's quiet and lovely image.

'It would be better if the eyes and mouth showed a little more smile.' Bai Ye thought so.

As for what Kato Megumi was wearing on her lower body, Bai Ye didn't dare to look at it. After all, it was impossible to look at a girl's whole body at close range without being noticed, and it would be too gentlemanly to stare at her for too long.

One second passed...

Kato Megumi let go of the hand that was gently tucking her hair.

Two seconds passed...

The girl still didn't speak, her calm but not empty eyes kept looking at Bai Ye.

Three seconds passed...

The three-second window made Bai Ye realize that perhaps he should start the topic.

How should I approach a girl I've just met for one day, in an indoor setting, who's wearing cute clothes?

No matter how you think about it, it’s best to start with clothing.

"Hmm... your clothes are so cute, Kato-san."

"Thank you." Kato Hui retracted her gaze and looked at the oolong tea in the freezer, as if she didn't feel anything about Bai Ye's praise. "Senior Xiao has been staring at my clothes since I left. Why?"

white night"......"

Kato Megumi's words caught him off guard and his brows twitched.

Could it be that Kato Megumi discovered herself from the very beginning?

Is this what a normal girl would say to someone she just met for a day?

Or is it that your way of thinking, Kato-san, is different from that of ordinary people?

Aki-san, is it really okay for you to choose Kato-san as the heroine?

After complaining in his heart, Bai Ye thought that since Kato Megumi was one of the parties involved, it would probably be okay to tell others about it.

"Just now, Aki-san told me that the inspiration for his love game was his encounter with Kato-san on the slope. Kato-san was probably wearing this outfit at the time, right?"

"Yes."

Kato Megumi admitted it straightforwardly, adjusting her tilted hat, her expression unaffected by Bai Ye's words.

"Does Senior Xiao often come to this convenience store?"

Seeing that Kato Megumi suddenly changed the subject, Bai Ye couldn't figure out whether she did it intentionally or unintentionally.

However, the convenience store I often go to is like a small world of my own. If I meet someone I know, I will be more or less concerned.

"This is my first time here. I just separated from Aki-san, and I saw a convenience store so I stopped by to buy some food and snacks."

"Soga..." Kato Megumi seemed to be lost in thought. "No wonder I've never met Senior Xiao before."
