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

"Bai Ye-kun, I heard from Eriri that you are doing some small business?"

Last week, Bai Ye gave some of the extra snacks and products to Eriri Sawamura, and he guessed that his aunt should know from this.

"My family does business in China, so I wanted to give it a try. I'm still doing preliminary research. Last week, I asked Sawamura-san to help me organize the products, and I gave her the extra snacks and products as a reward."

Sayuri Sawamura nodded. From the moment she saw the two people riding bicycles past the door of the Uma no Bones comics store, to Eriri happily carrying snacks home, she guessed that something was wrong.

"Eriri said she was going to help her clubmates, and from then on, she was only with Byakuya-kun. Now, both of them are hiding the fact that they're going on a date in the car."

I don’t know how far the relationship between Byakuya-kun and Eriri has progressed, but Sayuri Sawamura is happy to see this scene. As long as her daughter is happy, it’s fine. Secondly, it might bring some sense of crisis to Tomoya-kun.

"Bai Yejun's products are very popular with Ying Lili and she highly recommends them. I've tried them myself and they're really good. I'll let the guests try them at the next family gathering."

"Also, could you bring one for Eriri next time? It won't break the bank."

Bai Ye shook his head.

"This is a product sent by my family for research. It was originally a gift. My aunt promoted it for me. I made a lot of money. I will deliver it to your door personally in the future."

Bai Ye's words were straightforward, relaxed, and neither arrogant nor impatient, which Sayuri Sawamura admired very much.

Appropriate scheming is necessary, but if scheming outweighs sincerity in a relationship, the original intention of the relationship is lost, and she will not let such a person get close to Eriri.

Bai Ye also had his own ideas. He agreed to deliver the goods to the door for other reasons.

As long as he delivered the goods to Eriri Sawamura when she was at home, he could take the opportunity to be alone with her. He would walk into the room openly under Aunt Sawamura's nose and secretly get close to Eriri Sawamura.

Spending more time together is one of the fastest ways to warm up your relationship with Eriri Sawamura.

Or he could ask Eriri Sawamura to come to his house. The same logic applies. Getting Aunt Sawamura's tacit approval is his biggest gain today.

"Aunt, there is something I want to ask you."

Chapter 68: Eriri is a treasure trove of opportunities and crises

Sayuri Sawamura wore an apron and rolled up her sleeves, adding a touch of sophistication to her Yamato Nadeshiko temperament.

"Ah la la~~ I didn't expect Bai Ye-kun to be so interested in making snacks."

"Maybe it's influenced by my family. I like to cook something delicious at home, or wander around the streets and alleys, and occasionally I'll find a very good restaurant."

Sayuri Sawamura has tasted the desserts made by Bai Ye, and her craftsmanship is indeed not like that of a beginner who came up with something on impulse. There are details that can only be understood after spending time studying.

"Bai Yejun, do you want to be a chef in the future?"

"No, cooking is just a hobby. I haven't decided what I'll do in the future yet, so now is just research for the future."

"Hmm, do you like the cherry blossom cakes my aunt made?"

"I like it very much. One of the reasons for coming here today is to ask Auntie how to make sakura cakes."

Sayuri Sawamura likes the fact that Bai Ye loves cooking. You know, her daughter is very greedy and picky. It would be great if her future boyfriend is good at cooking.

"Auntie, I made sakura cakes to treat you today. I happened to have some ingredients left over. Bai Yejun, you must learn it well."

……

Bai Ye left the kitchen contentedly. He benefited greatly from Sayuri Sawamura's guidance, and it felt like the moon was shining after the clouds had parted.

"Bai Ye-kun."

Sayuri Sawamura was holding a tea tray with some snacks and tea on it.

"Can you bring some snacks to Eriri and Tomoya-kun for me?"

"can."

Bai Ye took the tea tray and turned back the moment Sayuri Sawamura turned around.

"By the way, Byakuya-kun, do you know Eriri's hobbies?"

"Hobbies?" Bai Ye didn't quite understand what Sayuri Sawamura meant.

Since they are in the same club, my aunt should be clear about the division of labor and strengths of each club. How could she not know Sawamura Eriri's interests and hobbies?

"Sawamura-kun is the ace of the school's art team. He draws really well, and I heard he has quite a few well-known doujinshi."

"Yeah, Bai Ye-kun, it's great that you understand~~ Okay, come in quickly! I won't take care of the affairs of you young people~"

"It seems that Byakuya-kun still doesn't know that Eriri is the manga artist. Hoho~~ I'm kind of looking forward to how they'll reveal this~~"

Sayuri Sawamura's smile was full of joy and unclear meaning, which made Bai Ye wary.

"Could it be that Sawamura-san not only likes painting, but also has other interests?"

This is unexpected information from a reliable source, and it's worth Bai Ye's investigation.

Bai Ye came to the door of Sawamura Eriri's room. It had only been half an hour since he returned to the room. He didn't think anything pleasant would happen between the two people inside in such a short time, because even he couldn't do it.

Boom—boom—boom—

After knocking three times as a courtesy, Bai Ye pushed the door open and walked in.

"Auntie asked me to bring some snacks, Aki-san, Sawamura-san, um...?"

Bai Ye found out that he was wrong, and something really happened in this half hour.

I saw Tomoya Aki sitting on a chair, two or three meters away from Eriri Sawamura, browsing his phone with an indifferent expression, which was very different from his usual talkative appearance during club activities.

Eriri Sawamura was buried in front of the computer, and the sound of the paintbrush hitting the electronic drawing board was particularly obvious, as if carrying a breath.

'Is this a quarrel?'

Bai Ye raised his eyebrows, put down the tea tray, and came to Sawamura Eriri.

"How's Sawamura-kun's drawing? Can I take a look?"

Bai Ye bent down next to Sawamura Eriri under the pretext of looking at a painting. He turned his head slightly and saw her face with pouting lips and eyes full of grievance.

"What's wrong?" Bai Ye asked in a low voice.

"Senior..." Eriri Sawamura turned her head, her eyes full of aggrieved expression telling something.

"Yeah, I understand." Bai Ye smiled gently

It seems they really had a fight.

From the dressing mirror beside him, Bai Ye noticed that Tomoya Aki was looking over here. He didn't know what happened immediately, so he could only give Sawamura Eriri a reassuring look, and then his gaze turned to the screen.

The picture shows a girl with long purple-blue hair that reaches her waist, a black top, a black pleated skirt, and black tights. The collar of her top is sewn with a circle of white lace and tied with a thin red ribbon.

The lighting and shadows haven't been applied yet, but the rough lines have been erased and the general image of the character is clear at a glance.

Judging from the height, posture, and pantyhose, Bai Ye looks like Kasumigaoka Utaha. The only difference is that her chest is flat, and her eyes are less sinister and more awe-inspiring and heroic.

"Sawamura-kun, I think this is a bit like..."

"Look at Kasumigaoka Utaha, senior, you don't have to tell me, I know." Sawamura Eriri helplessly held up her cheeks and complained bitterly, "Kasumigaoka just wanted to write herself into the game. She was described like this in the manuscript, and no matter how it was revised, it's always like this!"

Bai Ye glanced sideways, and Sawamura Eriri's selfish motives were clearly revealed.

If she looks like Kasumigaoka Utaha no matter how she draws it, why is the part that should be the most prominent instead so ordinary? To the naked eye, it barely reaches B, or maybe even a little less.

Bai Ye didn't say anything about this matter. Anyway, everyone would review it together. Girls fighting and quarreling with each other was one of the most interesting scenes. He was quite looking forward to Kasumigaoka Utaha's reaction.

The key now is to understand what happened during the half hour he was away.

"Have you finished the painting?"

"It's almost there. Senior, please sit wherever you want. If you're bored, feel free to read the comics on the shelf over there."

As she pointed her finger, Bai Ye saw one of the most shocking scenes in his life.

A bookshelf wall that is 10 meters wide and more than one person high is filled with all kinds of comics, which is dazzling.

Bai Ye felt that Sawamura Eriri might have to bring a chair to reach the top floor, and he couldn't help but sigh:

"Sawamura-kun... I think I understand how you became such an otaku."

Her secret side was revealed in front of Bai Ye, and Sawamura Eriri felt a little shy. She smoothed her still loose golden hair with her delicate hands.

"These aren't all my comics. Mom and Dad's comics are all here. Be careful when you look for comics, senior. Mom's a fujoshi, and there are some from Zhexue too."

white night"……"

His outstretched hand froze in mid-air, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.

A gentleman has his likes and dislikes.

The bookshelf in front of him gradually turned into a treasure trove full of traps and treasures in Bai Ye's eyes. If he was not careful, the words "ass♂we♂" on the cover could make him vomit blood for a while.

When asking for help, Sawamura Eriri, who calmly talked about philosophy and otaku, was undoubtedly the best choice. The bookshelf happened to be some distance away from Aki Tomo, so her words could not be easily heard.

"Sawamura-kun, where are some light-hearted school manga?"

"It's over there~ Never mind, I'll give it to Senior."

Eriri Sawamura put down her paintbrush and was led aside by Bai Ye as soon as she walked to the bookshelf. There was a mosquito net between her and Tomoya Aki, so she couldn't see what the other person was doing unless she looked carefully.

"Senior?"

Bai Ye was close to Sawamura Eriri, closer than ever before, shoulder to shoulder, and the hot air from his words blew on her ears. The girl's face turned visibly red, and a hint of crimson spread from her fair face to the roots of her ears.

"Sawamura-kun, what just happened?"

Chapter 69 Hug quietly, Midori won’t notice

Sawamura Eriri's heart trembled, and she subconsciously looked behind her. She saw that there was a mosquito net in the middle, and Akitomo Ren hadn't noticed it either. She immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

She didn't know why her heartbeat suddenly accelerated when she was close to Bai Ye, but she knew that Bai Ye was being cautious, so she didn't blame him. They still kept their shoulders side by side, their faces just a hair's breadth apart, and they could smell the faint cherry blossom scent on each other's breath.

"Senior, you're too close~~"

"Sorry, I was anxious." Bai Ye smiled apologetically.

Of course, he was intentional in being so close. His purpose was to have Aki Tomoya stimulate Sawamura Eriri off the court, so that she would get used to this close distance and lay the groundwork for the subsequent strategy.

"Tell me quietly what just happened, I'll give you some advice."

Speaking of this, Eriri Sawamura was extremely depressed.

"Just now, Renye suddenly came in. I wanted to show him the painting, and then he suddenly asked me if I had been invited by other clubs. He said I was not suitable and said some confusing words that were incomprehensible."

Club invitation?

Bai Ye didn't quite understand the meaning of this sentence, but it indirectly proved that Eriri Sawamura was an excellent painter and was quite popular in the otaku circle.

"And then, is there anything else?"

"I said no other clubs had invited me, and then he stopped talking. Then I asked him to look at the manuscript, and he said he wasn't satisfied. Oh... He didn't explain clearly what he was dissatisfied with, just that it didn't feel right!"

Bai Ye figured out a little bit. Aki Tomoya must have heard from somewhere that a club wanted to invite Sawamura Eriri, and he suddenly became jealous and took his anger out on her.

This is not a gentleman's act.

Bai Ye secretly despised Aki Tomoya, pinched his chin and thought about it, and found the problem.

"Sawamura-kun, let me ask you something. Is it true that no other club has invited you?"

"Really not, Senior." Sawamura Erika pursed her lips, expressing her dissatisfaction with Bai Ye. "I did sell doujinshi offline, but it was all done by my mother at the printing factory and the stall. Everything was handled by my parents, and no one even knew of my existence."

"That's it..."

Bai Ye realized that one of the sources of the problem was Sayuri Sawamura.

As for why his aunt spread the rumor that other clubs were inviting Sawamura Eriri, Bai Ye didn't know, and it was also difficult to tell whether there was really a club inviting Sawamura Eriri.

In short, the one who should be worried is Tomoya Aki. The relationship between Byakuya and Eriri Sawamura is no longer limited to the fan club. He has plenty of reasons to come to Sawamura's house or ask Eriri Sawamura out.

"Senior, do you have any idea?"

"Hmm... a few, but Sawamura-kun, just keep it as usual. I'll talk to Aki-san later and get his opinion on the manuscript."

"Oh, thank you for troubling me, Senior."

The matter came to a temporary end, and before Aki Tomoya noticed anything was wrong, Bai Ye released the suppressed voice.

"Sawamura-kun, where are the school-themed manga?"

"Here, Senior." Sawamura Eriri pointed to the top shelf. "I used to like reading school comics, but after I got tired of them, I put them on the top shelf."

"The comics placed below are newer?"

"Well, senior, what else do you want to read besides campus-related ones? There are many branches."

Bai Ye didn't mind letting Sawamura Eriri know his interest, and said frankly:

"School, youth, love, harem. Not a fake harem, but a real harem."
