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

"Hyoudou-san is a good friend of everyone, and we'll need her help with the food manual in the future, so we're not just business partners."

"That's right."

Kato Megumi blinked slightly and looked at her jam shaved ice, her eyes motionless, seeming indifferent, yet lost.

"Xiaohui, you are also very important. During the summer vacation, I not only need to prepare a food brochure, but also officially start a small business. I definitely can't handle it alone. I really hope to get your help, Xiaohui."

Kato Megumi turned her head, her eyes flashing, as if telling thousands of words.

"Don't worry, the pay is good. You can think of it as a part-time job during the summer vacation. It will definitely not be in vain."

Kato Megumi smiled again, she had been waiting for these words.

"As long as there's a reward, that's all, Senior~"

Here is the progress report: 32 (8600/10000) 7 updates are owed, this is a normal update.

Thanks to the spicy strips from [妖与茶], the 12 spicy strips from [Kaguya-sama: Love is War], the 3 spicy strips from [Archangel Aragaki], the spicy strips from [星奎], and the spicy strips from [Ｓｉｎｔｈｅｓｉｎｔｒｅｓ].

The world of the living! The world of the living! The world of the living!

Chapter 179 Icy tail: How to get Bai Ye?

While Byakuya and Kato Megumi were talking in a low voice, the members of Icy Tail beside them would observe them from time to time, especially Hyodo Michiru, who, as a member of the club, paid more attention to them.

The rustling sound spread among Icy Tail. Although Bai Ye knew that they were talking about him, he did not have a keen ear and could not hear what the girls were saying.

Himekawa Tokino has a side ponytail and is quite petite. Practicing the piano is so tiring, so how could she let go of this casual topic of conversation that she had finally found?

"Hey~ Michiru Michiru, is that Xiao's girlfriend? You two are in the same club, right?"

Michiru Hyodo knew her companions' personalities well, especially since Bai Ye had just acted so approachable and had a girl by his side, it was hard not to arouse the young girl's curiosity.

"I don't know. I've only been in their club for a week. Xiao has a good relationship with everyone."

Is Kato-san Xiao’s girlfriend?

When she was thinking about this question, the intimate scene between Bai Ye and Kasumigaoka Utaha last week popped up in her mind.

"Kasumigaoka-san and Xiao-san are the real couple... Last week, they were so close to each other in public."

But when she thought about it carefully, she felt something was wrong.

If we judge intimacy by distance, Xiao's current distance to Kato is about the same as Xiao's distance to Kasumigaoka last week.

Could it be that both of them were Xiao's girlfriend? Were they fighting over Xiao?

That's unlikely. It's not a youth romance drama. There aren't so many bloody plots in reality.

After ruling out all possibilities, she concluded that Bai Ye, Shi Yu, and Kato Megumi were very good friends. In this way, the issue of distance could be explained.

Bai Ye didn't know what Michiru Hyodo was imagining, but if he knew, he would definitely be grateful.

He was worried that Michiru Hyodo would mistake Shiwa or Kato Megumi for his girlfriend, and then he would lose the opportunity to win over Michiru Hyodo.

Seeing that her companions' imaginations were already going wild, Hyodo Michiru gently tried to persuade them:

"Don't gossip. If Xiao knew about this, he would be unhappy. He's our financial sponsor now."

As soon as these words were spoken, Icy tail fell silent.

They can clearly distinguish between gossip and commercial performances.

At this moment, Himekawa Tokino remembered something and his eyes suddenly lit up!

"Oh, right! Michiru Michiru~"

"What's wrong, Hour?"

When they saw Himekawa, everyone gathered around him, and Hyodo Michiru also leaned over.

"Mr. Xiao seems to have a wide network of connections. He's even familiar with the owner of this store. Michiru, have you ever thought about this?"

As he spoke, Himekawa Tokino clenched his claws into fists, giving the impression that he was about to open his mouth and swallow something in one gulp.

The little friends immediately understood and their eyes lit up.

It’s true that Bai Ye found commercial performances for them, but that only temporarily quenched their thirst.

Their studies have already taken up a lot of their time. If they spend more time looking for commercial performances, their musical level will likely decline.

"That's right. If Xiao were our agent, wouldn't everything be solved?"

"But who should invite us? We just met Xiao, it would be awkward to invite him out of the blue."

So, the friends' eyes all focused on Michiru Hyodo.

Morioka Aiko patted Hyodo Michiru on the shoulder with a serious tone, and the usually calm and taciturn girl showed a determined look.

"Michiru, I leave it to you."

Michiru Hyodo had expected this to happen, but when it actually happened, she couldn't help but make excuses.

"Hey—Lan Zi, you are the leader!"

"Michiru, you're also one of the leaders. Besides, you and Xiao are the most familiar with each other among us, and you're in the same club, so you have the most opportunities to interact with each other."

"Hey——" Michiru Hyodo stretched out her voice.

She didn't hate it, but she was a little embarrassed.

"Michiru, this matter belongs to you!" said Mizuhara Ruizhijia, who had short hair and a few freckles, "adding insult to injury." "I didn't ask you to propose yourself as Xiao's girlfriend, I just invited him to be his agent."

"Mr. Xiao probably has a girlfriend, okay, Rui Zhijia, please stop making a fuss."

"Then put it another way!" Mizuhara Eika continued to use her imagination as a serious anime fan.

"In popular anime, outstanding boys will have multiple girlfriends or even a harem. I didn't ask Michi to keep you as Xiao's harem. I just invited him to be his agent. It's like a deal."

"Ruijijia, your topic has strayed to Java..." Hyodo Michiru was speechless.

She believed that Bai Ye's connections and abilities made him an excellent candidate to be Lcy's tail agent.

However, there is a problem.

"If we invite Xiao, what will we get as compensation? Excellent agents in the market are very expensive. Not to mention that we are still students and have to go to school. It is impossible for us to perform commercially all the time. We can't do it for free, right?"

Everyone fell silent.

It is impossible to get something for free. The only way to maintain a relationship is to give and receive at the same time.

"We can't seem to come up with a decent reward..."

"Is there nothing you can do about it?"

"wrong!"

Morioka Aiko's gaze fell on Hyodo Michiru again.

"Michiru, I still have to rely on you."

"rely on me?"

"That's right. The reward for this commercial performance is that you help produce the music for Xiao's game, right?"

"No, that's my cousin's club..."

Before Michiru Hyodo could explain clearly, Mizuhara Eika interrupted her with a wave of her hand.

"Whatever. Your cousin isn't important. Didn't he righteously refuse to be our manager? Just like what they say in anime, those without ability should be sidelined. Don't waste the protagonist's time. What's important now is classmate Xiao. You just need to keep an eye on him."

Michiru Hyodo just smiled at her quick words.

Himekawa Tokino took over the conversation.

"Michiru, spend more time with Xiao and exchange more feelings. If he needs any music work, you must seize the opportunity and we can complete it together! We can help each other and use this as compensation so we don't have to spend money!"

Michiru Hyodo had nothing to say. What her friends suggested was indeed a good idea. She didn't mind letting her have more contact with Bai Ye. After all, they would be working together in the next few months.

"Besides, Michiru, you're so beautiful, with long legs, big breasts, and a great figure. Maybe you can attract Xiao, and if you become boyfriend and girlfriend, we'll be even closer!"

"Wisdom is good!"

Michiru Hyodo screamed, attracting the attention of the surrounding customers, including Byakuya.

"Hyoudou-kun, are you okay? Your face looks red. If you're hot, I'll ask the boss to lower the air conditioning."

"it's okay no problem……"

Reward progress report: 33 (6800/10000), 9 more updates are owed, this is a reward update.

Thanks to [噫污、] for 2 dog food, 25 salted fish thorns, 27 spicy strips, and thanks to dalao for the generous reward! [英梨梨天外飞仙] for the spicy strips, [Aines] for the 5 spicy strips, and [沙田柚] for the spicy strips.

After typing, I looked at the data and saw another huge wave of rewards. I was so happy!

I'm asking for recommendation votes. Why do there seem to be so few recommendation votes? We are obviously holding an event, so there should be a lot of them!

The world of the living! The world of the living! The world of the living!

Chapter 180: Benefits and Promises from Hyodo Michiru

After leaving the ice room, Bai Ye sent Kato Megumi home, ending today's date.

Along the way, Kato Megumi did not mention anything about "commercial performances", "hiding the bracelet", and "changing the name", making Bai Ye unable to understand whether she didn't care, or forgot, or deliberately didn't mention it.

In any case, Bai Ye lost his trump card.

"Invite Kato Megumi to be your secretary." He originally wanted to propose it during the summer vacation. At that time, the "Food Handbook" club was established, which was a suitable excuse to invite Kato Megumi.

Although it now seems that Kato Megumi's joining the "Food Handbook" is a foregone conclusion.

However, he is now in a passive position and has to keep an eye on Kato Megumi's actions, which requires extra attention and time.

"It would be great to spend more time with Xiaohui, but I've lost the initiative. If Xiaohui deliberately interferes with my harem, the difficulty will skyrocket again!"

Bai Ye scratched his head and held his forehead speechlessly.

"Forget it. I've already mentioned the difficulty of the harem plan countless times. This time won't make a difference..."

He has many ways to establish a harem.

Malicious fraud, sowing discord, and hypocrisy, these dirty business tactics act on people's inner weakness and greed, and can also be used in emotional exchanges.

But Bai Ye disdains to use it. A sincere relationship is priceless. He doesn't want to hug a soulless shell after returning home every day.

This is his original intention and the foundation of a gentleman's existence, which must not be forgotten.

"Go home, today's business is not over yet."

. . . . . .

After bringing Xiao Mi, who was lazily basking in the sun on the lawn in the yard, home, Bai Ye called Michiru Hyodo.

But he didn't notice that he pressed the video call button instead of the regular call button.

On the other side, Michiru Hyodo also returned home. When she was changing clothes, she suddenly received a call invitation.

She saw Bai Ye's name, but didn't notice the "video call" under the name, so she clicked to agree.

"Xiao, is there something wrong?"

"Pfft-!"

Bai Ye sprayed the milk in his mouth all over the floor for no other reason.

If you click on the video, what comes into view is a pair of breasts that take up most of the screen. Bai Ye believes that anyone caught off guard would ejaculate.

Countless adjectives flashed through Bai Ye's mind in an instant, each one was an expression of praise, as if this was the only way to vent his inner excitement and surprise.

“Hey hey hey——!”

A sharp female voice pierced the screen, and Michiru Hyodo also reacted. She quickly took a few steps back, rolled up her clothes and tied them around her waist to cover her perky butt which was only wearing panties, and spoke incoherently.

"Why... Mr. Xiao... is it a video..."

"sorry Sorry!"

Bai Ye covered his eyes and turned his head. This unexpected surprise made him surprised and happy.

Having seen something he shouldn't have seen, there was nothing he could do except apologize and ask for forgiveness. His closeness with Michiru Hyodo was not enough for him to use jokes to get over the embarrassment.

"I didn't notice it was a video invitation. Hyodou-kun, are you all right? If you're angry, I apologize. I'll do anything, but please be patient for a moment, because I have something important to attend to right now."

Bai Ye's sincere answer successfully restored his impression in Michiru Hyodo's mind.

Michiru Hyodo noticed the milk spilled on the table and the surprise in Byakuya's eyes, and believed it was an accident.

"Okay."
