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

Shiyu raised the corners of her mouth slightly, picked up the little girl at her feet and stroked her gently, inexplicably exuding the calm temperament of a British lady.

"Xiao Baijun's words make a lot of sense. Why not just turn our house into a cat cafe?"

"Please forgive me for refusing."

Eriri waved.

"Xiazhiaoka, just stand here and don't move."

"why?"

"The sun is too strong."

Shiyu: “…”

"You're really rude, Sawamura-kun."

On this side, Kato Megumi pulled the balcony curtains and looked at everyone present.

Those who practice the piano practice the piano, those who play with cats play with cats, and those who play with fish play with fish.

"Senior, we are holding a club activity today, right?"

"Hahaha..." Bai Ye turned a blind eye.

These girls have such unique personalities that it's hard for him to manage them. He's lucky enough not to be treated as a toy to relieve boredom.

"Take a break and start the discussion at 2 o'clock. I'll help Sawamura-san debug the graphics tablet first."

"Thanks, Senior~"

Ying Lili turned over and changed her posture to continue being a golden salted fish.

……

As soon as 2 o'clock arrived, the girls sat down around the coffee table without any prior arrangement, as if it was pre-arranged.

Although Bai Ye's words were not orders, they were still willing to listen for various reasons.

Bai Ye brought iced drinks to everyone. Seeing four pairs of eyes looking at him, he knew that it was time to take on the responsibility of being the "backbone".

In his plan, the current focus of his work is still on "Flash Girl", and "Food Handbook" is temporarily put behind.

I cannot go back on my promise to Tomoya Aki. Even if I cannot complete the main part of "Flash Girls" before summer vacation, I still have to make real efforts and at least make it "rationally" tenable.

The "sense of indebtedness" is a negative psychology that is useless to scoundrels and a burden to those who keep their promises. Even someone as rational as Kasumigaoka Utaha loses her composure in the face of the "sense of indebtedness."

As for the "harem club" which is just beginning to take shape, Bai Ye will definitely not let the girls bear avoidable psychological burdens.

Bai Ye's gaze swept among the girls and finally stopped on Shiyu, the "skeleton" of "Flash Girls".

"Kasumigaoka-san, please report on your work progress. How are the plot connections between the three heroines going? Are there any new ideas or plot points we need to discuss?"

Shiyu nodded, opened the file and presented it to everyone.

"Designing a galgame plot is more difficult than I thought, especially the emotional interactions between the male protagonist and the multiple female protagonists. It needs to be concise and easy to understand while also being exciting and captivating. It's very different from writing a light novel."

"But I still wrote it. Please read it. If you think there is anything wrong, please tell me directly. Don't mind."

Everyone gathered in front of the computer and read the plot.

Michiru Hyodo was the first to speak out.

"I don't quite understand how to write a galgame plot, but I'm willing to read it."

"I agree." Eriri agreed, then changed the subject, "But Kasumigaoka, why is Li always the one who suffers in the crossover plots? Are you doing this on purpose?"

"Really?" Shiyu smiled slightly.

The three heroines are designed based on Shiwa, Eriri, and Kato Megumi respectively. Although no one says it, they know it clearly in their hearts.

"If we talk about who suffers the most, shouldn't Yi be the one who suffers the most? Even though they know she likes the male lead, the others still keep showing affection to him and saying sorry all the time."

Kato Megumi pursed her cherry lips.

"This is the intersection of the hidden ending line. I think it's quite reasonable. After all, the finale is a harem ending, and players shouldn't care about this level of persecution."

"What do you think, Senior?"

Seeing four pairs of eyes of different colors looking at him at the same time, Bai Ye felt under great pressure.

In order to avoid a sudden Shura scene, he could only stand at a neutral angle.

"From a galgame player's perspective, it would be great if there were both single-heroine and harem plots! As for the crossover plots... I feel like they're lacking. Perhaps it's the lack of cadence in the conflicting moments, or the lack of individual heroines' personalities in the crossover plots, or perhaps Kasumigaoka-san's grasp of the individual heroines' personalities isn't strong enough?"

Shiyu seemed to be lost in thought.

When she was designing the dialogue, she would get stuck from time to time, and she thought that what Bai Ye said made sense.

"Let me think about it again."

Everyone has their own opinions, but overall they are quite satisfied.

At this time, Eriri discovered a new file with the file name marked as "Flash Girl". When she opened it, she found that it was a character story she had never seen before.

"Kasumigaoka, what is this, a new character arc?"

"Sawamura-kun, just click on other files and you won't see anything you shouldn't."

Ying Lili glanced sideways.

"I clicked it because I saw it was 'Flash Girl', okay, who wants to read your shitty stuff?"

Shiyu smiled jokingly, not paying much attention to what the other person said. She was also in a joking mood.

"This is the storyline for the fourth female lead. I've been busy with the novel lately and haven't finished writing it yet."

"There's a fourth one?!" Eriri exclaimed.

"If there were only three female protagonists, the plot would be a bit monotonous, so I added another one."

Shiyu's gaze fell on Hyodo Michiru.

"The fourth heroine is designed after Hyodo-san."

"what?"

Seeing that the topic suddenly turned to herself, Michiru Hyodo was a little confused.

"Am I the heroine? This feels so sudden..."

Shiyu twisted her hair, her expression apologetic and slightly playful.

"That's not the case. I should say that I got inspiration from Hyodo-san. I'm the male protagonist's cousin. Would Hyodo-san mind?"

"I don't care. It's just an identity thing. Lan Zi and the others said that if you insist on finding reality in the game, you'll lose."

"Thank you."

After expressing her gratitude, Shiyu looked at Bai Ye who was reading the plot carefully.

"Xiao Baijun, how about adding another female protagonist? Would it feel abrupt?"

Bai Ye raised his thumb.

"It's not abrupt. The more characters there are, the more exciting the plot will be. If possible, I would also like to add another female lead."

I continue to ask for recommendation votes and monthly votes, but why am I always just a little short of 500 recommendation votes...

Chapter 195: Personal Work? Strategy? Progress

Shiyu's part came to an end, and everyone turned their eyes to Bai Ye.

If Shiyu's copywriting is the skeleton of "Flash Girl", then Bai Ye is the person who assembles the skeleton. Without programming, words and pictures cannot form a visual story.

"Xiaobai-kun, how far have you come? I always feel like you have so much work to do. Can you handle it?"

"At least I'm still alive and joking with you guys." Bai Ye shrugged.

His job is neither easy nor difficult. He can collect merchant information through his mobile phone, but he always likes to go to the stores in person; there is still no news about the storage room that he asked Gangtian to find, so he needs to wait; the progress of "Food Handbook" is closely related to "Flash Girl", and the sooner "Flash Girl" is completed, the earlier his plan can be carried out.

He pushed the laptop to everyone.

"Look, I'm almost done with the underlying structure. I'll try to finish the entire game program before summer vacation starts."

Kato Megumi was the first to hold the mouse and opened the game with ease. Her movements were natural, as if it was her computer.

Shiyu looked at her and said nothing.

"The smoothness seems to have improved a lot. There's no longer any lag after clicking options a few times. Will there be any more inexplicable crashes?"

"The program algorithm is simpler. It won't suddenly occupy most of the flash memory and cause a crash. Don't worry. And this is my recent focus."

Bai Ye opened another program next to the game program. The interface was almost the same as the game interface, except that the options were "Text Editing", "CG Editing", "Storyline Editing"...

"This is a simple editing program, it's no exaggeration to call it a fool-proof program. Just input text and pictures, and it will automatically combine them to create the plot for 'Flash Girls'."

"Really? Really? Let me see!" Eriri excitedly approached the computer, fiddled with it for a few times but saw no response. She immediately lost interest. "The program is broken. Senior is really unreliable."

"It's not broken, it's just that I haven't finished writing it yet. It's very tiring to do this, okay? Do you think I don't need to eat, drink or sleep?"

Bai Ye was speechless and grabbed her golden twintails as a punishment. The more familiar this Eriri was with him, the more impolite he spoke to her.

"How about you, Sawamura-kun? How's your drawing going?"

Ying Lili's delicate body stiffened, her eyes avoided, and her slender fingers poked each other, with an expression that showed that she was guilty without any explanation.

"I've been a bit busy lately..."

At the same time, she secretly poked Bai Ye's arm to ask him to help.

Bai Ye understood that Eriri must be busy with the summer comic convention, and he would go with her to submit the application form next week.

He secretly made a "heart" gesture to her, and after receiving her gritted teeth nod, Bai Ye began to fulfill the "deal".

"I understand that painting is very tiring, especially when you don't have any inspiration. But no matter how busy you are, you should always report your progress so that everyone can understand and make plans for the next step."

Bai Ye had already paved the steps, and Ying Lili walked down them.

Of course, such an obvious move could not escape Shiyu's eyes. She watched them with her eyelids twitching.

"Shiro-kun, you and Sawamura-san seem to have a pretty good relationship."

The sour smell slowly spread throughout the living room. Bai Ye was also intoxicated by Shiyu's jealousy.

"Thankfully, I've figured out a plan to deal with this."

He showed recognition and sympathy, and his tone was understanding.

"If you're too busy, Shiyu, just let me know. Everyone will know you have a novel to work on, so they won't blame you."

Shiyu: “???”

She was a little confused for a moment and even forgot that she was jealous.

"This move is so powerful that it can defeat a great enemy with just a little effort... Xiaobai-kun, do you really not understand or are you just pretending not to understand?"

Bai Ye came up with the idea of pretending to be crazy and stupid under the guise of "righteousness".

Acting crazy and stupid is a good idea, but it can only be used occasionally depending on the situation. If you use it too much, please refer to what happened to Tomoya Aki.

After successfully overcoming the small difficulty, Bai Ye looked at the work progress given by Ying Lili and frowned.

Indeed, Eriri's progress has fallen behind a lot.

But he couldn't blame anyone. Even if he wasn't busy with the comics for the summer comic convention, the illustrations, characters, and backgrounds of "Flash Girls" were all handled by Eriri alone, which was a huge workload.

When Shiyu gets inspiration, she can write a story line in one night, but it is impossible for Eriri to finish drawing all the illustrations for a story line even if she works all night for a week.

This reminds Bai Ye of the time when Tomoya Aki met a girl who "could replace Eriri".

"Could it be that Aki-san wanted to bring in another person because he knew Eriri couldn't complete the work alone? He wasn't trying to replace Eriri?"

This is troublesome information.

Bai Ye has always been thinking that if Tomoya Aki and Eriri had a falling out over the summer comic convention and wanted to find a new illustrator to isolate Eriri, then he could snatch Eriri away without any burden.

"Senior, Senior..."

Hearing someone calling him, Bai Ye came to his senses and found that Ying Lili was looking at him with concern.

"Why did you suddenly go into a daze, Senior?"
