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

Bai Ye spread his hands and shrugged, briefly recounting how he met Mr. Fujita.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this for now. Xiaohui, what do you want to eat?" Bai Ye handed her the menu. "Everything on the menu is great. Just order whatever you want. Consider it your reward for today."

"But I've already received my payment." Kato Megumi glanced sideways at the menu, "Or do you want to change to something else, Senior?"

"No, no." Bai Ye smiled and explained.

It's just a bracelet for one afternoon. Shiyu and Eriri are both at home busy with novels and comics today. He doesn't believe that any accidents will happen!

"Just think of it as an excuse for me to treat you to a meal, okay?"

"Yeah, but..." Kato Megumi placed the menu between them, "Senior said all the dishes are great. Now we don't know what to order, and it's impossible to try them all."

Bai Ye shrugged with a relaxed expression.

"If Xiaohui wants to eat them all, that's fine with me."

"You'll have diarrhea, Senior."

"Huh? Isn't the point of getting fat?!"

Kato Megumi's hand suddenly tightened, and there was a "pop" sound. A scratch was visible on the menu, but there was no expression on her face.

Bai Ye was stunned, remembering that "weight" was an eternal taboo for girls, and quickly changed the subject, fearing that Kato Megumi would scratch him and make him bleed.

"Ahem, let me have some. I won't let you down, Xiaohui. Um... two servings of strawberry pancakes first, and two servings of jam shaved ice."

Meeting Kato Megumi's eyes again, Bai Ye nodded seriously.

"I have a physical exam next week, I understand."

......

Strawberry pancakes and shaved ice were served quickly.

This is a cream-based dessert with a soft strawberry-red skin filled with cream and a carefully selected cored strawberry in the middle. At first glance, it looks like a big lucky bag.

"Eat something greasy first, then the shaved ice. I originally just wanted to bring you here for shaved ice, but I didn't expect there were strawberry pancakes, which usually sell out so quickly."

Kato Megumi ate it bit by bit with a small spoon. In contrast, Bai Ye was much more bold. He picked up the strawberry pancake with his hands and put it into his mouth and swallowed it in one gulp, which made the former tilt his head.

"Senior, although the strawberry pancakes are the perfect size, they shouldn't be eaten in one bite. I feel like my little spoon is crying."

Bai Ye almost spit out the cream from his nose.

Kato Megumi complained in a calm tone, the destructive power is too great!

Bai Ye took the cup of water and poured the strawberry pancakes into his stomach. He patted his chest and let out a long breath.

"Xiaohui, you're becoming more and more knowledgeable about otaku, and your complaints are getting better too."

"It's because the senior's behavior is too funny."

"I'm trying to prevent waste!" Bai Ye pointed at the small plate in front of Kato Megumi with a smug look on his face. "Don't you think it's a pity that such delicious cream is left on the plate and not eaten?"

"What is the solution?"

"Nothing will be wasted if you lick the plate clean."

Kato Megumi was speechless. She knew that the senior knew she would not lick the plate and was deliberately teasing her.

"I kind of regret meeting you, senior."

"Hahaha~~"

slam-la-

At this time, another group of customers pushed the door open and heard Bai Ye's laughter.

"Hey, isn't this classmate Xiao?"

Bai Ye's laughter stopped abruptly, and the whole person seemed to be under a spell, with only the corners of his grinning mouth twitching.

Kato Megumi noticed Bai Ye's abnormality and turned around.

"Hyoudou-san?"

Michiru Hyodo looked down for the sound, and when she saw Kato Megumi, the guitar on her shoulder almost fell off in surprise.

"Hey, is that Kato-san?"

After confirming that the girl with short purple hair in front of her was Michiru Hyodo, Kato Megumi raised her left hand to greet her.

"What a coincidence! I didn't expect to meet Hyodo-san here."

Michiru Hyodo's gaze swept across the red bracelet on her left wrist, and then she looked at Bai Ye, her eyes filled with unconcealable surprise and interest.

As far as she knew, her cousin, Allen, had a crush on Kato.

She remembered that the chat history in the morning clearly stated that Kato Megumi was going out.

And now, Kato and Xiao appeared in the ice room together, and the girl was dressed much more exquisitely than during the club activity last week.

Could it be...

"Mr. Xiao and Mr. Kato, are you guys...?"

Bai Ye had never expected that Michiru Hyodo would suddenly appear. His heart was pounding, and at the same time he was glad that his right hand was not on the table.

If Michiru Hyodo saw the red bracelet on his right hand, the picture would be so beautiful that he couldn't even imagine it.

In front of people he knew well, he no longer dared to call Kato Megumi "Xiaohui", especially since the other person was Hyodo Michiru. If Aki Tomoya knew about it, he would never be able to live in peace.

He was unwilling to come into conflict with Tomoya Aki before properly resolving the difficulties faced by Shiwa, Eriri, and Kato Megumi.

Now, the key is to divert everyone's attention.

Several girls carrying musical instruments behind Michiru Hyodo attracted his attention.

"I have work today and I happen to need Kato-san's help, huh? Is Hyodou-san here for ice cream with his band friends?"

PS: Reward progress report 32 (6600/10000), 7 updates are owed, this is a normal update.

I feel like the content has been a bit watery recently, so I need to adjust the plot and speed up the pace, otherwise it will be really watery. The plot has been adjusted before, so please don't worry.

The group suddenly started talking about whether this book has a college plot, and I'm still thinking about it.

Chapter 178 The more you patch the pot, the more it leaks. Hui's silent attack

"Oh, I forgot!"

Michiru Hyodo tapped her forehead, revealing her casual personality.

As the benefactor of the Icy Tail band, the band members have long wanted to meet Bai Ye and thank him in person for his help.

"Mr. Xiao, let me introduce you to Himekawa Tokino, Mizuhara Tomoka, and Morioka Aiko. You're all members of Icy Tail. Everyone, this is Mr. Xiao I'm talking about. We're going to have a commercial performance next month thanks to him."

As soon as the words were spoken, the scene suddenly became lively.

The girls from the Icy Tail band were not shy or afraid of the stage when they were able to perform on stage. They came forward one after another to greet Bai Ye, and the atmosphere was filled with the cuteness and vitality of young girls.

"You are classmate Xiao, hello!"

"Thank you for your help. Everyone was very grateful to you when we chatted!"

"Especially Michiru, she's been lamenting that without your help, the band doesn't know where to go."

The three girls each said words of praise and thanks, which made Bai Ye a little overwhelmed.

It wasn't because he was overwhelmed by the thanks from the Icy Tail band members. They were just polite words. Even if three more girls came, he could still handle it calmly.

Because he forgot something "very terrible".

"Katou Megumi and the others probably don't know that I'm helping Hyodo Michiru, so isn't that a revelation?!"

Originally, he wanted to change the subject to cover up his date with Kato Megumi, but he didn't expect that the matter of Hyodo Michiru would be exposed.

Isn't this pot leaking more the more it's patched?!

Xiaohui’s expression now...could it be that she is smiling on the surface but feeling suicidal inside?

Bai Ye turned his head cautiously, and while chatting with the Icy Tail band, he glanced at Kato Megumi out of the corner of his eye to observe her reaction.

To his surprise, Kato Megumi's expression remained calm, as if nothing had happened even if the sky fell. She only spoke briefly to the girls and her attitude was lukewarm, with nothing to fault. She was even not moved at all when Bai Ye called her "Kato-san".

This made Bai Ye breathe a sigh of relief.

Whether because she was indifferent to the matter or to save face, Kato Megumi did not lose her temper and question the question on the spot, which made Bai Ye feel that his face was protected and he felt refreshed like a spring breeze.

Noticing that Bai Ye suddenly turned his head and looked at her, Michiru Hyodo finally remembered the previous agreement. She slapped her thigh and gave an awkward but polite smile.

Although she was curious whether Bai Ye and Kato Megumi were dating, it was wrong to always disturb others.

"Everyone, what do you want to eat? Please stop disturbing Xiao. I'm almost dying of heat after piano practice."

"Yeah, I want to eat shaved ice. I heard that this place is very famous for its shaved ice, which tastes like soft serve ice cream."

……

The girl with icy tail found a random seat, which happened to be next to Bai Ye, so he didn't dare to speak loudly, for fear that the pot would leak worse.

Kato Megumi began to taste the jam shaved ice. Her mouth opened and closed, and the words she spoke were intermittent but clear. When Bai Ye heard them, there was a sense of déjà vu that could not be ignored.

"Senior, it seems like I know a lot of girls."

coming!

Just because Kato Megumi is willing to save face in front of others doesn't mean she won't take revenge later.

What girl wouldn't get jealous when she sees the boy she likes chatting happily with someone of the opposite sex?!

If you are not jealous, you should think about whether the girl is still interested in you, or whether she is planning how to ask you to go to the rooftop and the shortest distance to Tokyo Bay.

Bai Ye's mind was working at full speed, thinking about how to escape.

There are several problems facing us now: how to explain the issue of "commercial performance" to Kato Megumi, whether Kato Megumi discovered that she deliberately hid her right hand, and how to explain the change in address.

What gave him a headache was that what Kato Megumi said was not only too tricky, but also contained murderous intent.

Does the senior know a lot of girls?

This sentence seems ordinary, but it actually has a double meaning.

Bai Ye said that he did know quite a few girls, but most of them were business acquaintances.

How should I explain to Kato Megumi in a simple and understandable way that I am just an acquaintance with them, and not someone who can communicate in a simple and easy-to-understand way?

Bai Ye moved a little closer to Kato Megumi, but didn't dare to get too close. Hyodo Michiru was still staring at him, and he couldn't let her be sure that there was something unusual about his relationship with Kato Megumi.

His heart was beating fast, and Bai Ye was startled by the stinging sensation of the approaching Shura Field.

"Ahem... I do know a lot of people, but... I feel like you and I are not on the same wavelength, Xiaohui."

"Is there?" Kato Megumi stopped and the spoon made a faint crisp sound when it hit the glass.

But to Bai Ye, the sound was no different from the sound made by the gavel used to interrogate prisoners in ancient times.

"I feel like Senior is a little flustered. Why?… Just now when he was discussing business with Mr. Hijikata, he was so high-spirited and confident."

Because Mr. Hijikata is just a piece of trash with a combat power of only 5, while your combat power, Kato Megumi, starts at at least 5, and it continues to rise without a cap!

The "commercial performance" has been exposed, and denying it will be useless. Otherwise, it will only increase Fujie's distrust.

In this battle of love brains, Bai Ye has fallen into a disadvantage due to the intrusion of Michiru Hyodo.

As a last resort, he could only extend an olive branch.

Originally, this was his trump card against Kato Megumi, but he didn't expect to use it so soon.

qaq

“When it comes to business, you become more open-minded the more you experience it.”

He took Kato Megumi's soft hand under the table and held it with a little force.

"Xiaohui, have you heard that I'm running a small business?"

"Yes, Senior just mentioned that Mr. Fujita is one of the partners. Is Hyodo-san also one of them?"

Bai Ye was speechless for a moment.

If we consider the inclusion of Michiru Hyodo in the "Gourmet Handbook" as a deal, it seems to be correct.

However, he never regarded this as a pure transaction, as Michiru Hyodo was also one of his targets!

Not wanting to be exposed in the future, Bai Ye chose another explanation.
