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

"Just give him a lesson, as usual, and teach him a lesson..."

"Right, just teach him a lesson..."

Kasumigaoka Utaha walked forward in self-hypnosis, with a sinister expression that Aki Tomoya was very familiar with. Only her pair of black silk legs that kept standing on tiptoe unconsciously revealed her inner restlessness.

"Mr. Ethics, what do you consider a big deal?!"

"Well...well...at least saving Senior Shiyu is a big deal."

"Do I have to wait for someone to rescue me before I can borrow the third volume? I don't even have the right to deal with my own things anymore? Are you meddling too much, Ethics-kun?"

"I'm a friend of Shiyu-senpai, and I don't want to see Love Metronome like this."

Aki Tomoya's performance made Bai Ye shake his head in his heart.

Stubborn, jealous, and emotional.

He understood that: Aki Tomoya regarded "Love Metronome" and Kasumigaoka Utaha as his own possessions, and was driven by possessiveness. He thought that he had worked hard and made great contributions, and was favored by Kasumigaoka Utaha as his first fan, so he was arrogant and did not have a strong ability of self-analysis, so he was easily emotional.

Little do people know that love requires mutual giving, and blindly asking for things is like draining the pond to catch all the fish.

"Shouldn't the most important thing right now be to find out why Kasumigaoka-san is upset and comfort her? Why are you still so stubborn about the love metronome?"

"At this moment, is there anything more important than Kasumigaoka-san's feelings?"

Bai Ye couldn't bear it anymore. If he allowed Aki Tomoya to act recklessly again today, Kasumigaoka Utaha would probably be torn apart. Her legs were shaking like a sieve now.

He quietly pulled Kasumigaoka Utaha's finger from below, and at the same time looked at Sawamura Eriri who had been paying attention here.

"It's time to send out the invitation, Sawamura-kun. This is a godsend."

As the saying goes, there is gain and loss. Aki Tomoya was unhappy with Kasumigaoka Utaha and had to vent or take revenge. Expressing kindness to Kasumigaoka Utaha's enemy and rival was the most effective revenge.

In Bai Ye's opinion, Sawamura Eriri had already achieved 80% success before she even opened her mouth.

Eriri Sawamura received a hint from Bai Ye's eyes, clenched her fists and encouraged herself secretly, then stood up after getting Bai Ye's nod.

"Ren Ye, stop arguing. It's just a love metronome, right?"

His sanity gradually returned with his breathing, and Aki Tomoya noticed that something was wrong in the atmosphere. It seemed that his previous words had offended Bai Ye.

In his eyes, Bai Ye knew nothing about the "origin" between him and senior Shiyu, and was just a fan of teacher Kasumi Shiko, hoping to read "Love Metronome" earlier.

If you do something wrong, you should apologize. Aki Tomoya is as motivated as ever.

"I'm sorry, Senior Xiao! I didn't think you were unqualified to watch Love Metronome just now. Please forgive me. I'll do anything you ask me to do!"

Can you please let go of Kasumigaoka Utaha from now on and let go of the broken girl?

This thought flashed through Bai Ye's mind, but he didn't say it out loud.

"It's okay, Amaki-san, you know I'm also a fan of Kasumi Shiko-sensei. Do you understand my eagerness as a fan?"

"Yes, Senior, I understand. I like Love Metronome too! And..."

Aki Tomoya turned around and bent down like Asakanoaoka Utaha.

"Senior Shiyu, please don't lend out Love Metronome Volume 3 anymore. It's very important!"

Something very important?

Instead of extinguishing Kasumigaoka Utaha's anger, Tomoya Aki's words added fuel to the fire.

Am I more important, or is "Love Metronome" more important?

Is this your apology, Mr. Ethics?

Or, have you always thought it was my fault, Ethics-kun? There's no need to apologize to me at all?!

Tomoya Aki's words hit Kasumigaoka Utaha's weak spot. Even though she was extremely depressed, she had nowhere to vent.

She couldn't hold on tight, nor could she let go. Only the invisible and intangible evil acted as a rope to "bind" her only connection with Tomoya Aki.

"But... why is breathing so... difficult..."

Kasumigaoka Utaha opened her mouth and wanted to breathe fresh air, but found that her throat was making intermittent, hoarse gasps.

"ethics……"

At this moment, she felt a familiar warmth from the hand beneath her. Someone grabbed her index finger, and the warmth passed through the fingertips to her cold and numb throat.

She tried to twitch her fingers, but found that Bai Ye didn't use much strength, so she couldn't break free.

Before she turned around, an opened can of green tea was placed in front of her.

"Kasumigaoka-san, this pot of green tea is on me. I didn't know the love metronome had such a deep meaning for you and Aki-san. I'm sorry."

At this moment, Kato Megumi, who had been staying out of the matter, suddenly turned around and glanced at the green tea can that was taken by Kasumigaoka Utaha.

"Ami-kun, you've been so noisy."

"I'm sorry, Kato."

Chapter 60: Looking forward to the willful beauty, my heart can’t wait

The quarrel between Tomoya Aki and Utaha Kasumigaoka also came to an end. The former gave his opinions on the new classmate line and asked Utaha Kasumigaoka to make some modifications, and then returned to the podium.

"Eri, how's the draft of the character from the Senpai line going? Did you bring it with you?"

"No, the first draft is still missing some details."

"Really?" Bai Ye interrupted, "I've already completed the basic framework, and Kasumigaoka-san has also written the first draft of the story. All we need is your character, Sawamura-san, so we can easily create a specific storyline."

Sawamura Eriri smiled sheepishly and smoothed her twin ponytails: "Because the character design is too troublesome, I'm really sorry, Tomoya, senior."

This was the conversation she had discussed with Bai Ye yesterday, in order to lure Aki Tomoya into the game step by step.

"What about Friday?" Aki Tomoya continued to ask.

"I might not be able to finish it by Friday. I have some intensive painting practice recently, so I don't have much time. I might not be able to come here on Friday."

After hitting a wall with Kasumigaoka Utaha, Sawamura Eriri fell behind in progress again, and Aki Tomoya sounded a little dissatisfied.

"Too slow, Eriri."

"There's nothing I can do...!" Sawamura Eriri raised the voice an octave.

"I apologized in a very nice way, but Renye was still rude to me."

Eriri Sawamura glanced at Bai Ye and noticed that he scratched his face. She immediately understood and knew that it was time to get down to business.

"Ryouya, I promise to get it done on Saturday. I won't be free to come here on Friday, so um...why don't you all want to come to my house on Saturday as a club activity?"

"Senior, are you free on Saturday? Can you bring your computer? I think if you upload directly from your computer, you can skip the compression and avoid the image being corrupted by unintentional compression."

Eriri Sawamura made the invitation, and then Byakuya took over.

He groaned for a few moments, pretending to think, and finally nodded.

"I'm free on Saturday. It doesn't matter to me. It doesn't matter where I go for the meeting."

"How about you, Renye?"

"my words……"

Aki Tomoya was a little hesitant. He and Sawamura Eriri were childhood sweethearts on the surface, but in fact their relationship had just returned to normal. He had forgotten when was the last time he went to Eriri's house.

His eyes fell on Kato Megumi who had been reading a novel.

"Kato, are you free to go with me on Saturday?"

Kato Megumi put the bookmark on the table, closed the book, and looked apologetic.

"Sorry everyone, I just bought the game this week and I want to try it out at home on Saturday and Sunday. Since production hasn't officially started yet, I want to quickly brush up on some galgame knowledge."

Akito Tomo also knew about this matter, especially when he heard that Kato Megumi bought "Higurashi When They Cry", his heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

Kato Megumi was not free on Saturday, and Aki Tomoya's interest suddenly decreased a lot, but the temptation of the official progress of "Flash Girls" was also very great, and what Kato Megumi said made sense. Now is the best time to catch up on galgame.

After much deliberation, he decided to go to Eriri's house on Saturday.

"Eri, I'll go when I'm free."

"Okay!" Eriri smiled.

She didn't expect victory to come so easily. Yesterday, she and Bai Ye discussed countermeasures along the way and even simulated the details several times. It seems that they will not be needed today.

Almost everyone has expressed their opinion, except for one person, who is the person Sawamura Eriri least wants to face. But if she doesn't invite him, she will seem stingy.

She came to Kasumigaoka Utaha and asked in a calm tone:

"Are you coming to Kasumigaoka on Saturday?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha replied in the same indifferent tone without even raising her head.

"No time."

"Hmph, I knew it."

Eriri Sawamura doesn't have the habit of trying to please someone she doesn't like, and she doesn't want Utaha Kasumigaoka to come!

On this side, Kasumigaoka Utaha is now troubled by another thing. She is afraid that if she looks up, others will notice something.

Taking advantage of Aki Tomoya's boastful voice, Kasumigaoka Utaha clenched the green tea can in her right hand and whispered to Bai Ye:

"How long are you going to hold my hand?"

"Wait until you don't slam the table or give it a hard smack."

“Why do you think I would or wouldn’t bang the table, Xiao Jun?”

Bai Ye smiled and winked at her.

"Then why did you think I was holding your hand, Kasumigaoka-san? Didn't your hand stay still the whole time?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha raised her eyebrows, moved her arm, pulled her index finger out of Bai Ye's palm, then clenched her fist, uncontrollably wanting to keep the warmth left by her index finger longer.

. . . . . .

"Goodbye everyone, I'm leaving."

"Goodbye."

After the club activities ended, Tomoya Aki left first to catch up with the anime, and Eriri Sawamura left soon after.

Kato Megumi put the novel and comics back into her schoolbag, and when she stood up, she looked at Bai Ye who was still typing away on the keyboard.

"Senior, aren't you leaving yet?"

"Inspiration has come, but it's almost done. I'll leave once I'm done."

"Then I'll be leaving first. Goodbye, senior. Please remember to close the door."

"Goodbye, Kato-kun. Be safe on your journey."

After looking at Kasumigaoka Utaha who was sitting next to Bai Ye and also typing on the keyboard, Kato Megumi turned and left, closing the door gently.

"Kasumigaoka-san, aren't you going to explain?"

"Explain what?"

The two stopped typing at the same time, as if they had agreed, and turned their heads at the same time to look at each other.

Bai Ye smiled, took out a box of pocky fingers from his schoolbag and put it on the table, then took one out and put it in his mouth to taste it carefully.

Kasumigaoka Utaha took out a pocky without hesitation, but the moment she put it in her mouth, her expression changed instantly.

It is 99% pure dark chocolate.

Seeing that Kasumigaoka Utaha had fallen into the trap, Bai Ye laughed out loud.

"Kasumigaoka-san, do you know that you look much better now than before?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha frowned, gradually got used to the bitter taste, and her expression returned to normal.

"I don't know, and I don't want to know."

"As for you using me as a bridge today, you should know about this. I don't remember this being part of our deal over the weekend."

After finishing the pocky in her mouth, Kasumigaoka Utaha picked up another one and chewed it vigorously, which made Bai Ye tremble.

"Because I'm willful, didn't Xiao Jun tell me to be willful? Let me be willful and take advantage of it."

"Oh? I like that explanation."

Bai Ye was both surprised and happy when Kasumigaoka Utaha took the initiative to say the word "willful", which meant that his strategy had made substantial progress.

Kasumigaoka Utaha has always given people the impression of being rational and silent. Her gloomy, crystal-red eyes seem to be filled with thorns, and she can see through other people's thoughts with just a glance.
