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

……

After lunch, Eriri Sawamura returned to her room and stared at her phone in a daze.

Her identity as an otaku is not unknown. Everyone in the "Flash Girls" club knows her, and they also know that she is an artist.

"Someone who can help... Kasumigaoka Utaha knows the Fuzugawa Library, but she's the last person I want to ask for help! Kato-san and Hyodo-san can't be relied on either."

The only remaining candidates are Bai Ye and Aki Tomoya.

In terms of ability, she hopes to get Bai Ye's help.

"But, I just told you yesterday that I wouldn't be attending the Summer Comic Con. How can I change my mind?"

She lay down on the bed, covered her head with the quilt, and hid her face with her ponytails, leaving only one eye staring at Bai Ye's chat avatar on the phone.

As long as you ask Bai Ye for help, he will definitely not refuse because of his gentlemanly character.

She also knew very well that what prevented her from asking Bai Ye for help was not what he said yesterday, but her other identity.

18X book artist - Kashiwagi Eri.

She was too embarrassed to reveal her true identity to Bai Ye, and was even more afraid of how he would change after knowing it, and worried that they would not be able to return to their current relationship.

"Senior claims to be a gentleman, but if he knew I was a book artist, he would think I was a shameless girl and would definitely be disappointed."

This thought lingered in Sawamura Eriri's mind. Her trembling fingers approached Bai Ye's portrait several times, then moved away several times, and finally turned into loneliness in her eyes.

"Let's try asking Lun, maybe he has a solution. Mom said it's not that difficult."

【Is Ren here too? 】

After waiting for half an hour, until she was about to fall asleep, the reply finally came.

【What's up? 】

After telling him what happened, Sawamura Eriri held her phone with anticipation.

Aki Tomo is one of the only two people who knows her identity as a book artist. If Aki Tomo doesn't help, she will be helpless.

"Ren should be able to help. I've already agreed to be the art director for Flash Girls, so he won't even refuse to help with this little bit."

However, when she saw Tomoya Aki's reply, her eyes suddenly opened wider than bells.

【No time. 】

These two short words earned Sawamura Eriri a look of disbelief, and she replied almost at lightning speed.

【Why?!】

"I'm busy. I'm already bothered by the Flash Girl thing. Oh, and by the way, Eriri, how's your drawing going? Is your Yi drawing finished? Send it to me."

[I can't find anyone else to help me, Tomoya, please help me! ]

[It's just a small matter, Eriri, don't worry about exposing your identity.]

Eri Sawamura was so upset that she threw her phone away and fell into a deep sleep.

When I woke up again, it was already night.

She came into the living room with messy hair, her eyes showing unconcealable sadness and loss.

When Sayuri Sawamura saw her unkempt appearance, she knew what had happened. She sighed and her eyes became gloomy.

Based on her understanding of her daughter, Eriri must have asked Tomoya Aki for help and was rejected.

Even if Bai Ye rejected her, she would never let Ying Lili be sad, not to mention that Bai Ye would never refuse to help.

Dinner ended in silence.

Eriri Sawamura lay on the table, fiddling with her paintbrush out of boredom, without touching a single stroke of the painting "Yi" on the computer.

Thinking of what happened in the afternoon, she couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat and burst into sobs.

"Lun is also a bad guy... No one can help me..."

Just then, the phone rang.

Progress report 29 (5152/10000), 1 update is owed, this is a reward for an additional update.

Thanks to [cc is not c] for the salty fish thrust.

I stayed up late to update, and asked for some recommendations and rewards to cheer myself up. I will try to update during the day time tomorrow.

Chapter 159 Sawamura Eriri's Expectations

[Is Sawamura-kun here? I have something good for you.]

Seeing Bai Ye's avatar suddenly jump to the top, Sawamura Eriri perked up a little, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and opened his chat box.

She is a clear-headed person. Although she is sometimes a little unreasonable, she will not lose her temper when it comes to major issues.

Being in a bad mood has nothing to do with Bai Ye. If you vent the bad mood caused by Tomoya Aki on Bai Ye, it would be disrespectful to him.

She really wanted to find Bai Ye to complain to. He would definitely be very patient and would then bring her a cup of sweet honey lemon tea and maybe even give her a gentle pat on the head.

But she can't.

Once she confesses everything to Bai Ye, her secret will be exposed, and she cannot bear the bad ending with even a 1% chance.

[What a great thing! Senior seems very excited.]

[Can you open the video?]

Eriri Sawamura quickly walked to the dressing table and saw her red eyes.

"If the senior sees this, he'll definitely get to the bottom of it. The secret won't be kept."

[Something's going on, it's not very convenient.]

the other side.

After waiting for a minute, Bai Ye raised his eyebrows when he saw the reply, and instinctively felt that this was not the real reason.

Based on his understanding of Eriri Sawamura, she was the type of person who would be very focused once they started chatting.

If there is something really going on, Sawamura Eriri will make the reason clear. If it is a very personal matter, she will reply immediately without delaying for a minute.

This minute seemed to be delayed just to think of excuses.

Since the other party wanted to hide it, and it was clear that the other party would not be in danger, Bai Ye did not ask any further questions.

There are many ways to find out, such as asking Sayuri Sawamura, or asking Eriri Sawamura indirectly, which may give you valuable clues.

Bai Ye picked up his cell phone and pointed it at the floor next to the coffee table, where the gift he received from the merchant was placed.

Click——!

The plastic bag was translucent and the contents could not be seen clearly, which immediately attracted Eri Sawamura's curiosity.

[What's this?]

[It's delicious.]

[What's delicious?]

[I won’t say.]

Eriri Sawamura blew her beard and glared, her mood suddenly exploded again.

Unlike the sadness caused by being rejected by Tomoya Aki, now she feels a mixture of joy and anger because she is angry at Byakuya.

She enlarged the photo and stared at the plastic bag intently, but she still couldn't make out what was inside. She only saw a colorful scene that seemed to be emitting an alluring scent.

It must be very delicious!

"This bad senior is keeping us in suspense again..."

[Speak quickly!]

Seeing that Eriri Sawamura even used emoticons, Bai Ye understood that her mood was gradually improving, so he threw out the bait again.

If you want to reap something, you have to sow it first. Sawamura-kun, you know~

Worried that she would act crazy, Bai Ye even sent her an emoticon package saying "asking for money", but of course his purpose was not money.

Eriri Sawamura was speechless.

Before she knew it, her attention was completely attracted by Bai Ye, and she forgot about the unpleasantness brought by Aki Tomoya.

[What does the senior want?]

[Really want to know?]

[think!]

[We'll talk about it on Wednesday.]

[? ? ? ]

She sent a series of "Shocked" messages, but Bai Ye refused to speak and kept trying to avoid the topic, which completely broke her heart.

Sayuri Sawamura could hear her daughter's angry roar from the living room.

"Ahhh, damn it! Senior, I'm going to bite you to death on Wednesday!"

. . . . . .

Wednesday, noon time.

After lunch, Eriri Sawamura returned to the classroom, holding her chin with one hand and staring at her phone in frustration.

In the past two days, she had tried various methods to get the secret out of Bai Ye, but without exception, Bai Ye would change the subject with various topics, and she enjoyed it all. Without exception, she would shed tears of regret after the conversation ended.

"How come this bad senior is so good at chatting? Doesn't he have an endless supply of topics?"

Today is Wednesday, and she doesn't want to "sit and wait for death", so she opened the chat box with Bai Ye with an indomitable momentum.

[Senior, have you eaten yet? Did you pretend not to see me in the cafeteria just now?]

On this side, Bai Ye just returned to the classroom when he heard his cell phone ringing. He saw that it was a message from Eriri Sawamura and smiled knowingly.

Pretending not to see?

That's for sure!

Bai Ye even deliberately acted in a very exaggerated manner. When Eriri Sawamura saw him, he did a 360-degree Thomas turn in the snow, which was definitely enough to get hired by a circus.

Can you reply truthfully?

That is absolutely not possible!

Bai Ye wanted her to focus all her attention on him so that she would have no time to think about Tomoya Aki's troubles.

[Was Sawamura-kun in the cafeteria just now? There were so many foodies in there, I couldn't tell which one was you.]

Sawamura Eriri: “…”

She knew in her heart that Ming Ye did it on purpose, which further stimulated her fighting spirit.

[Senior, are you free to go to the rooftop now? I have an important plan to discuss with you.]

Important plans?

Bai Ye smiled, thinking that this might be a trap set by the other party.

Previously, they would go to the rooftop to discuss the plan to capture Tomoya Aki, but this time it might not be to "capture" himself. Once they go up, they might fall freely at a speed of 5 kilometers per second.

[Going up to the rooftop right now is scary... Sawamura-san isn't carrying a bag with a kitchen knife in it, is he?]

Eriri Sawamura understood his joke, curled her lips, and started tapping her phone.

[I'm not Gui X Ye!]

But what I did was not much different from Yi Xcheng!

Except for not being a scumbag.

After complaining about himself in his heart, Bai Ye changed to a comfortable sitting position and continued to be funny.

[I’m busy now. Let’s talk after school. I’m going to your house today.]

As expected, Sawamura Eriri's attention was distracted again.

[Huh? Senior, why are you coming to my house? We have club activities today, right? It's already past 5pm after school. Do you want to come to my house for a free meal?!]

Is this foodie thinking about nothing but eating?

Bai Ye continued typing while silently increasing the budget to support Eriri in the future.
