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

white night"......"

If the two people have been coming to the same convenience store frequently for three years, considering their activities and their student status, they should have met dozens of times.

Is he afraid that he is being followed, or is it an unintentional mistake?

Should I say that Kato-san is incredibly clueless? Or should I say that you're being cautious and vigilant towards those around you?

Bai Ye felt a little headache.

Since Kato Megumi doesn't play by the rules, there's no need for me to follow the rules, right?

After putting the oolong tea he liked into the shopping cart, Bai Ye looked at Kato Megumi and suddenly grinned.

The little dress that Kato Megumi is wearing is obviously not casual wear. Would anyone wear a little dress specifically to buy things at a convenience store?

"Kato-san, are you going on a date?"

Kato Megumi turned her head, her light yellow eyes widened a little, the corners of her mouth turned down slightly, and her cheeks bulged a little.

Although Kato Megumi's eyes remained the same, Bai Ye said that this was the first time he saw a visible change in Kato Megumi's facial expression.

"After school, Amiya-kun found me and asked me to try on this outfit to feel like a heroine. My mom asked me to go out shopping just now, so I put it on."

"Soga..." Bai Ye pinched his chin, also thinking about something.

Everyone goes to the nearest convenience store to buy things, so Kato Megumi's house is nearby?

Uh...be a gentleman, be a gentleman...

"So I'm taking advantage of Aki-san? Kato-san, you look really good in this outfit."

This is Bai Ye’s true words.

As the saying goes, clothes make the man, and gold makes the Buddha. Now Kato Megumi's presence has obviously risen to a higher level.

To his surprise, Kato Megumi did not reply, and the curve of her face seemed to have grown a little.

Bai Ye was puzzled. Don't most girls like to be praised? Or is it because Kato-san is worthy of it?

But bringing the atmosphere to a standstill was not what he wanted to see.

"Can you do me a favor, Kato-san?"

"No problem." In just a moment, Kato Megumi's expression returned to normal. "What does Senior Xiao need to buy?"

"Did I ask you to help me as a shopping guide?" Bai Ye smiled with interest.

"But this is the only convenience store I'm familiar with. Could it be that Senior Xiao wants to ask me how to be the heroine? I don't know how to do that."

“It’s not that difficult actually…”

Bai Ye thought of what Aki Tomoya said, shook his head slightly, and ended the topic himself.

"Kato-san, do you know where the curry powder is?"

"Over here." Kato Hui pointed in a direction and walked over first. "Senior Xiao, is curry for dinner tonight?"

"No, tonight's dinner is pork steak with gravy, and curry powder is an ingredient for later."

After turning a few corners, Kato Megumi led Bai Ye to a counter.

"They're all curry cubes here. Does Senior Xiao have a brand you're used to?"

“Not curry cubes.”

Faced with a counter full of goods, Bai Ye picked up a bag of ordinary, inconspicuous curry powder and carefully examined the ingredients.

"Hmm... maybe the taste of neon curry isn't right for me. I prefer to mix my own curry spices."

Satisfiedly putting the curry powder into the shopping cart, Bai Ye spoke again:

"Could you please take me to the cookie counter and find some chocolates, Kato-san?"

Kato Megumi nodded.

"right here."

"Thank you."

Bai Ye wanted to make some snacks himself, which was his habit.

Walking away from Kato Megumi, Bai Ye searched for the ingredients one by one according to the recipe in his mind.

"Egg-fingers...sugar...dark chocolate...hazelnuts...that's about enough."

Turning around, he found that Kato Megumi had come to his side at some point, demonstrating her invisibility to the fullest.

Kato Megumi's gaze moved away from the various ingredients in Bai Ye's shopping cart and fell on Bai Ye's face.

"Senior Xiao, are these things going to be used to make Pocky?"

"Yes." Bai Ye admitted straightforwardly, "It's not difficult to make Pocky yourself, and you can mix and match the ingredients as you like."

"But..." Kato Hui picked up a pack of real Pocky, and then took a pack of finger biscuits that Liang Yue had chosen, and a trace of doubt flashed across her brows. "The sizes are a little different, aren't they? Senior Xiao is very confused."

The real Pocky is thin, while the finger biscuit is three times the size of the former.

Bai Ye’s explanation for this is very simple.

"Triple the size, equivalent to eating three Pocky sticks together, and the satisfaction is tripled."

Chapter 9 Everyone has their own destiny

"Hello, Sheng Hui is 5690 yen."

"Ding--"

Bai Ye took out his mobile phone to pay, and while marveling at the convenience of technology, he stopped in front of the convenience store, waiting for Kato Megumi to pay later.

After a while, Kato Megumi came out with a plastic bag and looked up to see Bai Ye.

"Senior Xiao?"

After spending some time together, Bai Ye also began to understand Kato Megumi's expressions and words.

"I will never forget those who have helped me. Leaving without saying goodbye is not my style."

"Is that so..." Kato Megumi's tone dragged out a bit. She took a step forward, and you could see the oolong tea and dinner ingredients in the plastic bag she was carrying. "What do you want to do, Senior Xiao?"

It doesn’t matter whether Kato Megumi thinks it’s a clumsy pick-up line. For Bai Ye, it’s natural to return the favor after receiving help from others.

To put it more simply, even though communication between people inevitably creates ties, Bai Ye still hopes to avoid owing favors to others.

"Let me help you carry your stuff up the ramp."

"Thank you."

Kato Megumi did not refuse and handed the plastic bag forward.

Bai Ye stretched his hand forward. Although he had deliberately avoided Kato Megumi's hand, his hand was so wide that Bai Ye's little finger still touched Kato Megumi's little finger.

Neither of them subconsciously avoided each other. After their little fingers rubbed against each other, leaving behind each other's body temperature and touch, the plastic bag came into Bai Ye's hands.

In Bai Ye's opinion, there is no need to avoid. Unintentional touching is normal, but it is abnormal to overreact in the other person's eyes.

Only young boys who are just beginning to fall in love and those with ulterior motives will overreact.

Putting Kato Megumi's bag into the front basket of the bicycle, Bai Ye pushed the bicycle uphill, while Kato Megumi lagged behind and walked on the other side of the bicycle.

I have to say, pushing a bicycle uphill with two 3-liter bottles of oolong tea and two large bags of ingredients is quite tiring.

Bai Ye thought to himself: Fortunately, I have been exercising regularly, otherwise I would be gasping for breath after climbing the slope, which would be too embarrassing.

When they were almost at the top of the hill, Bai Ye pretended to be weak and slowed down, while Kato Megumi walked to the front of the car.

Looking up, the cool evening breeze slightly blew Kato Megumi's soft and smooth hair, just like a summer afternoon at the seaside, with the sea breeze gently blowing through the sunshade curtains.

But the wind did not blow up the hat.

If possible, he also wanted to witness the scene that Aki Tomoya called "fateful encounter".

Bai Ye pursed his lips and shook his head in his heart.

'It's a pity that things don't always go as planned.'

Before he lowered his head and looked away, Bai Ye noticed that Kato Megumi suddenly turned her head, and the soft golden light of the setting sun shone from behind her, as if adding a faint smile to her pale yellow eyes like locust flowers.

Although not dazzling, her presence cannot be ignored.

"I see..."

Bai Ye thought, perhaps he understood why Aki Tomoya was moved.

"Senior Xiao?"

Bai Ye came back to his senses and looked up at Kato Megumi. The expectation flashing in his eyes was not unlike that in Aki Tomoya.

"Kato-san, can I share my opinion on the heroine's situation?"

Kato Megumi seemed surprised by his politeness, and a smile transformed from the sunset gradually climbed up the corners of her mouth.

"Senior, please tell me, I really don't understand how to be the heroine of a love game."

"Mr. Kato, you are a rough diamond." Bai Ye's hands holding the handlebars were sweating slightly, and he was excited about the idea that suddenly popped up in his mind.

"Rough jade needs to be carved, but I think it would be better for you, Kato-kun, to be the carver."

Kato Megumi tilted her head, unable to understand for a moment.

"Senior Xiao, are you going to do it all yourself? It seems difficult to direct and act on your own."

Bai Ye paused, not knowing whether to shake his head or nod.

"This idea just popped up in my head. After all, the person who understands yourself best is yourself."

However, Bai Ye did not get a positive response or a nod from Kato Megumi.

"Senior Xiao, there's a saying in China that goes, 'Those involved are often confused, while those who are on the sidelines can see clearly,' right?"

"Yes." Bai Ye nodded.

“But I think sometimes, if you don’t join the puzzle, it won’t be clear to the bystander.”

After saying this seemingly unrelated sentence, Kato Megumi picked up the plastic bag.

"Senior Xiao, see you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow, Kato-kun."

Kato Megumi walked along the slope.

Bai Ye turned right and slowly pushed the bicycle, still savoring the words Kato Megumi said before she left.

"If you don't join the puzzle, bystanders may not understand it either..."

He admitted that after joining the club yesterday, he had been watching the interactions between Kasumigaoka Utaha, Sawamura Eriri and Aki Tomoya with a spectator's attitude, while he himself was staying out of the show.

"You mean I didn't actually join the club?"

Bai Ye took a deep breath, got on his bike, and headed quickly towards home. The wind rustled his school uniform.

"So if you join, you'll have the scenery you're looking forward to?"

. . . . . .

"I am back."

Opening the door, Bai Ye said hello to the empty room.

It’s not that there is something unspeakable in the room, nor is it that Bai Ye suffers from delusions. This is his habit, and perhaps it can add some liveliness to the room.

But the empty room is still empty, the night does not emit fog and gather people, the only thing that has changed is the few echoes.

"Hmm~~ Let's take a break first."

Relieving worries and boredom has always been an eternal topic for mankind.

Some people choose to drink to relieve their sorrows, some choose to indulge their desires, and some choose to complain and feel resentful.

Bai Ye has his own choice. Since the room lacks popularity, wouldn’t it be better to add some popularity?

He had some spare money and was thinking of buying a pet.

"Let's go out and check out the pet store this weekend."

. . . . . .

The next morning, the weather was clear.
