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

"Sit down, what would you like to drink?"

"Oolong tea will do."

While Bai Ye went to pour tea, Sawamura Eriri once again observed the room of the boy she had visited for the first time in a real sense, not the child.

It has all the necessary daily necessities, but it lacks the atmosphere that a otaku's room should have.

"Senior, where are your comics? Are they just the ones on the bedside?"

"I don't have a bookshelf, so I can't just put it anywhere."

Eriri Sawamura thought so too. If she bought a large bookshelf when renting a room, it would be difficult to move in later.

If comics aren't on the bookshelf, there are only two other places they should be.

Under the bed and in the cupboards.

"Logically, Senior wouldn't leave comics under his bed to gather dust, so that's the only way..."

As she spoke, her eyes moved to the surface of the cabinet, which was suddenly filled with a mysterious atmosphere.

Bai Ye came back with oolong tea and gave her a slap on the face.

"What do you want to do?"

Eriri Sawamura's eyes were filled with tears, but she came back to her senses.

"It hurts! What are you doing, Senior?!"

"That's what I wanted to ask you."

Bai Ye walked to the cupboard and knocked. The deep echo indicated that it was full of things.

"My comic novel is indeed in there, but have you ever thought about the terrible consequences of opening a gentleman's cupboard, Sawamura-kun?"

Of course, Eriri Sawamura knew that otakus liked to stuff shameful comics into their cupboards, and she was the comic artist herself.

She didn't try to understand Benzi's thoughts, she just wanted to understand Bai Ye's preferences as a fellow otaku.

"I just wanted to know about your comic book preferences so we can chat more easily in the future. Your thoughts are so dirty, I despise you!"

"Oh--?"

Bai Ye was not angry, but his smile became even wider.

When one person takes the initiative to understand another person's preferences, it is a sign of a closer relationship.

"I prefer comics that focus on everyday fun, and music anime too. Look... I have a full set of K-on figures on my computer desk."

Eriri Sawamura walked forward and saw not only a set of K-on figures, but also several K-on posters on the wall.

"Senior, do you like music?"

"I'm just interested. I learned a little bit when I was a kid at my parents' request."

Bai Ye opened the package brought by Eriri Sawamura and found that not only was the wooden box exquisite, but there was also a lot of secrets inside.

Most Japanese people regard odd numbers as auspicious symbols, with "3" and "7" being the most popular.

There are 3 large sakura cakes and 7 small sakura cakes in the wooden box, which are matched in size to form a cherry blossom.

Seeing Bai Ye's surprised expression, Sawamura Eriri raised her little head proudly, as if she had done it.

"Senior, this is the sakura cake my mom made. Isn't it beautiful? Last time I said I would bring mom's snacks for everyone, but I forgot. So today I'll bring it to you to try!"

What Bai Ye cares about is not the sakura cake itself, but the weight behind this thought.

"Sawamura-kun, did you tell your aunt that you were coming to my house?"

"No, I meant I was going to a friend's house. I didn't tell my mom who it was, because otherwise I'd have to explain it to my mom, which would be very troublesome."

"That's good." Bai Ye breathed a sigh of relief.

"But my mom asked me to invite everyone in the club to my house, so I need to let you know first."

"alright, I got it."

As one crisis comes, another one arises. Bai Ye pretends to be calm on the surface, but he is smiling bitterly in his heart.

"Inviting the entire club is probably a pretext. Aunt Sawamura's purpose is probably to find out about Sawamura Eriri's circle of friends and the depth of their relationships."

It is also possible to think that Eriri Sawamura went to Tomoya Aki's house.

He doesn't want to make his subtle relationship with Eriri Sawamura public and let everyone know about it, otherwise the obstruction from Tomoya Aki may put Eriri Sawamura in a dilemma.

"Sawamura-kun, come and eat some sakura cakes, and then start working."

"oh oh."

Eriri Sawamura picked up a small piece of sakura cake. She understood this etiquette. Guests could only touch the big one after the host had eaten it.

"Woo~~ Mom's sakura pancakes are as delicious as always!"

Bai Ye looked thoughtful. Sayuri Sawamura's craftsmanship was beyond his imagination.

"It tastes really good. I'm even thinking of visiting my aunt."

"Yes, yes!"

Seeing Bai Ye suddenly get up and leave, Sawamura Eriri followed his gaze and then her eyes widened.

Bai Ye walked towards her while eating a piece of chewy, refreshing pudding with an enticing sweet aroma.

Eriri Sawamura looked over and over again, confirming that Bai Ye only had one pudding in his hand, and pouted her cherry lips.

"Hey - why does the senior have pudding to eat?"

Chapter 44 Gradually going deeper and then sweating profusely?

"I'm eating pudding that I made myself at home. What's wrong with that?"

Bai Ye deliberately acted confused, but he was secretly laughing in his heart.

He saw the blonde girl's eager look clearly. It would not be an exaggeration to say that she was envious and jealous. This was also what Bai Ye had been looking forward to for a long time.

Eriri Sawamura supported her cheeks, chewed the sakura cake, stared at the pudding, and felt as if something was missing in her mouth.

"No problem... Sakura Mochi is enough for me."

Seeing that she deliberately turned her head away, Bai Ye did not say anything. He sat down at the table opposite her and ate the food bit by bit with a small spoon, making sounds of enjoyment from time to time.

Sawamura Eriri's expression changed from pouting to depressed, and the sakura cake under her slender fingers was almost pinched into a twisted cake.

"I think you're being too much, Senior!"

"Am I being too extreme?"

Bai Ye smiled. Knowing that Eriri Sawamura would come today, Pudding certainly wouldn't just do it for himself.

But the sweetness cannot be given away all at once. It has to be taken little by little. People often don’t know how to cherish things that are too easy to get.

"It's not that easy to get pudding. Get to work, girl!"

"Ooh!"

Eriri Sawamura suddenly felt a surge of motivation. She took out a handkerchief to wipe her mouth and followed Bai Ye to the corner.

"Senior, what should we do?"

"It's very simple, just pack the things according to the manifest."

Bai Ye handed over an A4 paper, on which were listed the goods needed by each store.

Eriri Sawamura opened the cardboard box and her eyes suddenly lit up!

The cardboard box was filled with all kinds of packaging that she had seen and had not seen before, but she could tell at a glance that all of them could be put into the mouth.

"Senior, are all the things you sell snacks?"

"It's not all snacks, there are some condiments, but it's all food."

"Are they really all food? There are 9 boxes in total?!"

Eri Sawamura's eyes widened. For someone who loves sweets, the mountain of snacks in front of her is like heaven.

"What are you thinking about?"

Bai Ye wanted to give her another slap on the face, but she dodged it cleverly.

"Senior, a Saint Seiya will never fall in the same place twice!"

"Even if you are a Saint Seiya, if you want to cheat, you have to ask me first."

Even though Bai Ye snapped his fingers threateningly, Sawamura Eriri remained undeterred. It would be a shame not to try so many snacks she had never seen before!

With a turn of her eyes, she came up with a plan.

"I heard from the senior last night that these snacks are for giving away, right?"

"These are products that are sampled and sold in stores. To run a business, building a good reputation and building relationships with people is very important."

"Do you plan to do business after graduation?"

This question trapped Bai Ye.

His current job is not only to distribute products to stores, he is also a well-known food blogger, and also does website design and business work.

"Distributing my family's products to Neon is just to build my reputation and credibility. As for whether I will go into business like my parents in the future, I haven't decided yet."

"If you want to make a name for yourself, I have a good idea!"

How could Bai Ye not guess what she was thinking, but he also wanted to see her methods.

"Tell me."

"I often hold small gatherings at home, and there are many businessmen among the guests. I can recommend my products to them, and maybe they will be interested in them!"

Bai Ye admitted that this was indeed a good idea, but there was a flaw.

If a big businessman takes a fancy to the business, he will most likely buy the agency rights, and the link will change from Bai Ye - retailer to Bai Ye - big businessman - retailer, and the link of directly facing the retailer will be lost.

Whether his parents agree to sell the agency rights is another matter, but Bai Ye does not want to lose the direct relationships with retailers.

If other products are not valued by big merchants and the market reputation is not good, it is equivalent to having nothing.

Bai Ye told his thoughts to Eriri Sawamura, and received a helpless smile from the latter.

"Senior, I don't understand business."

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. Anyway, thank you Sawamura-kun for your kindness. If you want, I'll ask my parents to mail an extra copy next time."

"When will the next time be, tomorrow?"

"At least half a month later."

Sawamura Eriri: “…”

She felt a black screen before her eyes, and her golden twintails drooped limply.

If possible, she wants it now and it doesn't matter if she buys it.

"Logistics are so advanced nowadays. If Sawamura-san wants something, he can just buy it online and it will be delivered from China in a week."

"But the meaning is different!" Sawamura Eriri said seriously, "When you eat a rare snack given by someone else when you're in a hurry, the taste and the happiness you get will definitely be different."

"I didn't expect Sawamura-san to be so particular..."

In fact, one of the 9 boxes of snacks contained snacks and seasonings mailed to Bai Ye by his parents, so it was totally fine to give some to Sawamura Eriri.

But as mentioned above, people who get things too easily often don’t know how to cherish them.

"Get to work. Don't you want pudding?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Eriri Sawamura immediately put on her apron.

Since snacks are out of reach, grab the pudding that is right in front of you!

"Senior, you really like K-on. Even your apron is a K-on peripheral."

"It's my treasured possession. I usually only wear it when I make snack cakes. If you hadn't come, I wouldn't want to wear it. Remember not to get it dirty."

"How is that possible? What's the point of wearing an apron like this?!"

……

9 boxes... To be precise, it didn't take much time to organize 8 boxes of express deliveries. The two of them finished everything in just over an hour.

"Senior, everything has been sorted out, and the inventory has been counted to confirm that everything is correct. There is still one box that has not been used."
