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

Eriri Sawamura was wearing a green sports outfit, with her blonde hair loose and a pair of thick glasses on her nose. She looked like a casually dressed homebody, except for her blonde hair, which was carefully styled and had water droplets hanging on it.

"Ha..." After a small yawn, Sawamura Eriri rubbed her eyes while holding the cup, and saw clearly who was sitting on the sofa in the living room, "Senior, you are here so early."

"It's getting late, isn't it, Sawamura-kun? Did you just wake up?"

"I'm sleepy because of the meal."

Eriri Sawamura made a pun and sat next to Bai Ye at his eye hint.

"So I went to wash my hair and wake myself up, otherwise if my hand slips while I'm painting it will be terrible."

There was a hint of arrogance in Sawamura Eriri's tone, and only she knew the reason.

If it was Akito Tomoya who was coming, she would not wash her hair or dress up, but when she thought of Bai Ye coming and remembered the admiring look in his eyes when he looked at her soft and silky blonde hair, she didn't want to appear too sloppy.

A woman should look good to those who please her.

"I have to wash it tonight anyway, and it dries easily if I wash it in the afternoon. It's not for Senior!"

Having said that, she still unconsciously shook her cascading golden hair towards Bai Ye as she sat down, happily accepting Bai Ye's unrestrained and unconcealed admiring look, but at the same time, a hint of complaint arose in her heart.

"How come Renye doesn't know how to appreciate me? Am I not beautiful? Seriously..."

Bai Ye didn't know that Eriri Sawamura had so many thoughts in her mind. He only knew that no girl didn't want the opposite sex to praise her beauty, and Eriri Sawamura was not only beautiful and cute, but also cute and tsundere.

When dealing with Eriri Sawamura, you cannot use explicit words to praise her, otherwise it will arouse her arrogance and vigilance; nor can you use very obscure hints, because she may not understand; using a generous and clear look is the most appropriate, which will win Eriri Sawamura a lot of favor and a happy smile that is both shy and want to hide.

"Sawamura-kun, come here."

Seeing Bai Ye waving at her, Sawamura Eriri understood that there was something to discuss, so she sat closer and consciously leaned forward to listen.

"Don't waste your time alone with Aki-san later. I'll be discussing Sakura Mochi with my aunt in the living room and won't disturb you. You better seize the opportunity!"

"Thank you, senior!"

Although they were left alone, Bai Ye was not worried at all. Aki Tomoya was completely focused on Kato Megumi and "Flash Girls", and Sawamura Eriri's tsundere personality made her tired. The former had no interest in him, while the latter was pushed forward. The progress of the two would only stay at the same point.

Eriri Sawamura is very happy that Bai Ye has been helping her along the way.

"Where's the reward?"

"This time, consider it your reward for inviting me to your home. I just wanted to ask my aunt how to make sakura cakes and discuss some dessert experiences."

"Ok, transaction successful!"

Eriri Sawamura and Byakuya high-fived each other, not knowing that this scene and her heartfelt smile were all seen by Sayuri Sawamura.

"Ah la la~~ Is your daughter and Byakuya-kun so close that they can be so close to each other at home without restraint?"

Accepting this unexpected joy, Sayuri Sawamura came to them and put down the tea tray.

"Eri, why don't you go dress up? Your friends are coming over soon."

"No need, Mom, this is fine."

Seeing her mother coming, Eriri Sawamura quickly moved her little butt and restored the distance between her and Bai Ye to normal.

Sayuri Sawamura pretended not to notice her little action.

"Bai Ye-kun, please try the cherry blossom tea."

"Thank you, Auntie."

"How does it taste?"

"It's very fragrant. The slight sourness of the cherry blossoms and the sweetness of the honey complement each other very well. The flavors are layered and very appetizing. I like it very much."

Sayuri Sawamura smiled and said, "It seems that Byakuya-kun is very good at it. Eriri also likes to drink sakura tea~~"

Eri Sawamura nodded and saw several exquisite little snacks on the tea tray, the sweet fragrance emitting from them was intoxicating.

"Did Mom make snacks?"

"I didn't make this, Byakuya-kun made this gift box himself. Eriri, you can't enjoy it until everyone arrives, okay?"

"Oh...get it..."

Eriri Sawamura looked at her watch and kept staring at the snacks on the table, complaining in her heart why Tomoya Aki had not arrived yet.

Just then, the doorbell rang and Sayuri Sawamura stood up.

"Hmm...Ryouya-kun should be here. I'll go open the door."

When Sayuri Mizawamura disappeared into the hall, Bai Ye said:

"Hurry up and follow the plan, Sawamura-kun."

"I know……"

Ying Lili stood up slowly, her blue eyes fixed on the snacks on the table, her desire clearly revealed.

Bai Ye was helpless. With Sawamura Eriri's greed, she was afraid that one day she would be sold and still help count the money.

Taking out a small biscuit from his bag and placing it in her hand, Bai Ye said:

"I think sooner or later Sawamura-kun will get into trouble because of his greed."

"No way~~"

After getting the delicious food, Eriri Sawamura returned to her room contentedly.

At this time, Tomoya Aki and Sayuri Sawamura, panting and sweating, came to the living room together, with nothing in their hands except a laptop in their backpack.

"It's been a while since you've come to my house, Tomoya-kun. How have you been lately?"

Tomoya Aki responded normally. He vaguely felt a powerful aura from Sayuri Sawamura.

"I'm fine, auntie. It's been a while since I last heard from you."

"Bai Ye-kun is here. Come, sit down and try the sakura tea I brewed. Um...where's Eriri? She was just here."

Bai Ye took a sip of cherry blossom tea and replied:

"Sawamura-san said that the drawing still has some flaws, so she went back to her room."

"Well, this Eriri..." Sayuri Sawamura waved the small fan in her hand, her tone helpless, "Friends who come to visit should be treated well."

Aki Tomoya was thirsty, and didn't care that the cherry blossom tea was hot, and drank it in three or two gulps.

"No need, auntie. We're here to discuss the game. We're just waiting for Eriri's drawings."

Sayuri Sawamura frowned slightly. There were many gatherings at diplomats' homes, so she had long since learned not to show her emotions. Akito Tomo didn't notice the subtle change in her expression.

She watched Tomoya Aki grow up and naturally knew his character.

She doesn't care about etiquette, but that doesn't mean she doesn't like it. Appropriate respect can make people look at her with admiration.

She had something she wanted to say to Tomoya Aki alone, but it would be inappropriate for Bai Ye to hear it.

Bai Ye noticed that Sayuri Sawamura suddenly looked at him and immediately understood what she meant.

"Do you have something you want to talk to Aki-san alone? Do you want me to step aside for a moment?"

Considering the relationship between Eriri Sawamura and Tomoya Aki, he felt that this was very likely.

"Whether it's true or not, I've shown my face to my aunt and gotten close to Sawamura-san, letting her know that she has options besides Aki Tomoya. My goal for today has been achieved."

"Aunt, I want to go to the yard to see your cherry tree, is that okay?"

Chapter 67 Let’s have a tryst openly next time!

Bai Ye walked out of the hall and came to the yard.

It is now early May, the cherry blossom season in Tokyo. Pink flowers hang high on the branches. When the wind blows, the fresh and elegant fragrance wafts into your nose, and a few cherry petals fall into your hands.

There are chairs and tables under the cherry tree. The corners of the tables have deep marks, and there are many traces of time left on the tables and chairs. It seems that people use them frequently.

Bai Ye sat on the chair and looked up at the cherry blossoms.

There is a locust tree of similar height downstairs from his house. He passes by it every day on his way to and from school, but he rarely stops to look at it.

He probably guessed the reason why Sayuri Sawamura and Tomoya Aki were chatting alone, and didn't think there was anything wrong with it. He and Tomoya Aki were not on the same starting line.

. . . . . .

In the living room, Sayuri Sawamura poured another cup of cherry blossom tea for Tomoya Aki, her smile full of nostalgia and a hint of regret.

"Ryouya-kun, it's been a long time since you came to my house to play."

"Yes, Auntie...about 3 or 4 years."

Tomoya Aki felt a little uncomfortable. He hadn't been to Eriri's house since he and Eriri had a conflict in junior high school. In his memory, Aunt Sawamura's gaze was not so powerful.

"I heard from Eriri that Tomoya-kun recently formed a doujin club at school and invited Eriri?"

"Yes Auntie, I came to see Eriri today for the club activities. We plan to make a game."

Sayuri Sawamura nodded. She had always asked her friends to inquire about things at school. She knew the reason for the conflict between Tomoya Aki and Eriri Sawamura, and she could roughly guess why they were reconciled now.

She doesn't care much about it. People's original intentions of interacting with each other often have various purposes. Even if the purpose is not very popular, it is okay to change it slowly.

"You're here for club activities, and I don't want to take up too much of your time, but I have a favor to ask of you."

"Aunt, please speak."

"Since you've finally repaired your relationship with Eriri, please continue to be friends and stop quarreling over random reasons."

"I know, but Eriri..."

Sayuri Sawamura interrupted him and said that conflicts and quarrels were inevitable in interactions, the key was how to resolve them.

She had watched Tomoya Aki grow up, but it was a shame that he hadn't made any progress in resolving conflicts over the years. Is it that difficult to be patient and to find peace? Taking a step back can open up new horizons?

"One more thing, Tomoya-kun, you know Eriri's hobbies, right?"

"Yes, Auntie."

"Eriri has been gaining more and more fame in the industry lately. Many doujinshi clubs have asked me to invite her to join. I didn't expect you, Tomoya-kun, to be there before them."

A gleam flashed in Sayuri Sawamura's eyes and she smiled slightly.

She talked to Tomoya Aki alone because of the following words.

"Other clubs are sincerely inviting Eriri. If you, Tomoya-kun, can't keep Eriri and let her run away to another club, then it will be useless to ask me for help, understand?"

Sayuri Sawamura said this, and all she cared about was her daughter.

As long as that person cares about Eriri, loves Eriri, and Eriri likes him, she doesn't care who Eriri is with. And her reminder to Tomoya Aki was because they have known each other for many years.

As for whether Aki Tomoya could understand it, she didn't care.

"Is Eriri popular?"

Tomoya Aki kept chewing on this sentence. He knew that Eriri Sawamura was the famous comic artist "Eri Kashiwagi", but he remembered that Eriri had always asked her uncle and aunt to sell her comics, so her true identity should not have been exposed.

Or did Eriri accidentally reveal her identity?

"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. Eriri is shy, a heavy otaku, and tsundere and unreasonable. Who can stand her? How could she possibly join a strange club!"

. . . . . .

After watching the cherry blossoms for 15 minutes and taking a lot of photos, Bai Ye calculated that it was almost time, so he got up and went back to the house.

"Ah la la~~Bai Ye-kun, have you finished looking at the cherry blossoms? Our cherry blossoms are very beautiful, aren't they?"

Bai Ye couldn't tell whether she meant something else, so he had to answer truthfully.

"Yes, Auntie, the cherry trees are beautiful and well maintained."

He looked at where Tomoya Aki was.

The person has left, and the fine mist formed by the rising heat on the inner wall of the glass has turned into water droplets and rolled to the bottom of the cup, indicating that Aki Tomoya has been away for at least 5 minutes.

As for where Tomoya Aki went, he knew without thinking that it was Eriri Sawamura's room.

Bai Ye returned to his seat, and the warm water was poured into the cup again, emitting a faint scent of cherry blossoms.

"Bai Ye-kun."

"Auntie, is something wrong?"

Sayuri Sawamura couldn't help but look at Bai Ye with admiration.

From the moment he entered the door, Bai Ye kept giving her surprises, especially when he immediately realized that she wanted to talk to Aki Tomoya alone and took the initiative to avoid this point.

It is rare to see such a smart boy nowadays.

However, what does Byakuya-kun think of Eriri?
