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

After all, Michiru Hyodo and Tomo Aki are in an equal relationship. They don't owe each other any favors and have no ulterior motives. Of course, they won't agree to a request that is disadvantageous to themselves.

But Bai Ye still held out a glimmer of hope.

"Hyoudou-san, if I paid you and your band to produce the theme song, background music, plot interludes, and even individual character songs for 'Flash Girls', would you be willing?"

"Senior Xiao, our funds..."

Bai Ye put his hand on Aki Tomoya who stood up.

"Let's not talk about the money for now. You can always earn money by working hard."

Hyodo Michiru hesitated.

If she pays her band to produce music, and the income is enough to keep the band running, it would be fine.

But after thinking about it carefully, she shook her head.

"Although there are otaku in our band, we all play pop music and don't really understand the two-dimensional music from bishoujo games. It would take too much time to learn."

"After practicing for so long, everyone in the band is eager to get a chance to perform to prove themselves. We need performances and fame more than staying in the room making music all the time, and we'll explode."

What Michiru Hyodo said made sense, and Bai Ye was speechless for a moment.

Just when everyone thought there was no hope, Michiru Hyodo suddenly changed the subject.

"But if Alan promises me something, I can help produce the music."

How can we invite Michiru Hyodo to join the club? If you are looking forward to it, please cast a recommendation vote!

Chapter 111 Kasumigaoka Utaha doesn't want to work hard alone

Michiru Hyodo's words rekindled hope in Tomoya Aki, and he couldn't wait to raise his head.

"Whatever you want me to do, Michiru, I'll do anything as long as you're willing to be a music producer!"

"It's actually very simple." Michiru Hyodo smiled and held up a finger. "Don't you know a lot of otaku friends, Allen? If you become our band's manager and we have a performance, everything will be easy~!"

"Become Michiru's agent?"

Aki Tomoya took a step back, his surprised look gradually turning into hesitation.

He thought it was okay to help her just once, but if he became her manager, it would mean he would have to keep looking for performance opportunities for Michiru, and his focus would shift.

If it were any other time, Aki Tomoya might have agreed.

But now, "Flash Girls" has just started, and his presence is most needed. Moreover, his relationship with Kato Megumi has not made any progress in the past month, which makes him most irritated.

Not to mention anime, games, novels, comics, part-time jobs... each of these takes up a lot of time, so how could he have the time to be Michiru's agent?

"I don't have time, Michiru. Can't you really make some background music for us?"

Michiru Hyodo shook her head in embarrassment.

"Making background music is a hassle. To make it fit the game, you have to follow the storyline. The background music needs to be different for each scene and storyline. One song is definitely not enough."

"I have my own musical style, which is different from others. I make one background music, but what about other background music in the future? Having two different musical styles in one game is too abrupt."

"Your game is still in its initial stages. Even if I complete it completely, if you change the style in the future, the BGM will have to be abandoned. It's a huge waste of time."

Being repeatedly rejected by Hyodo Michiru made Aki Tomoya look unhappy, but he still didn't want to give up.

"Michiru, you really can't even sing one song? Now we..."

boom--!

Kato Megumi picked up the can that fell on the ground, nodded apologetically to the two people whose conversation was interrupted, and then picked up the kettle and poured herself a glass of water.

"Sorry, um... Speaking of which, Aki-kun, I'm a little concerned about a problem in the game."

Seeing that Kato Megumi had something to say, Aki Tomoya immediately changed the subject and put aside the music for the time being.

"Even Kato, you've noticed this problem, so it must be quite serious. Please tell me."

Bai Ye looked at Kato Megumi and didn't expose her little trick.

If he saw correctly, it was Kato Megumi who pushed the can to the ground herself. Although she used pouring water to cover it up, the action seemed awkward. It must be her first time.

Bai Ye felt relieved and looked up to Kato Megumi. Who would dare to say that Kato Megumi was an idiot again?!

However, it does get a little confusing sometimes.

Kato Hui held the water cup in both hands and said slowly:

"It's a gameplay issue. Wouldn't it be monotonous to just use text options to advance the plot?"

Aki Tomoya rubbed his chin, nodded slightly, and pursed his lips, his expression somewhat hesitant.

Mixed with all kinds of complex emotions, his expectations for "Flash Girl" are increasing.

"Indeed, a purely text-based galgame would seem monotonous, but now that you've brought it up, Kato..."

Kato Megumi looked at him strangely, half raising her hand.

"Ami-kun, I mentioned this a long time ago."

"Huh? Really?!"

"During the club activity last week, but Aki-kun was talking excitedly at the time, so he might not have heard our discussion, right?"

Aki Tomoya was shocked!

He searched his mind but couldn't find any information about Kato Megumi raising any questions about the gameplay.

Kato couldn't possibly be lying, so Aki Tomoya could only pretend that he had missed it accidentally.

Missing it once was enough, he didn't want to miss it a second time.

"Kato, please repeat what you proposed at that time."

"Well..." Kato Hui lightly touched her cherry lips, her pale yellow eyes seemed to be lost in memories, revealing a hint of doubt, "I don't remember it clearly, it was my senior who proposed it at the time."

Then she looked at Bai Ye beside her.

"Senior, could you please say it again?"

Bai Ye nodded.

But there was one thing he only said in his heart.

He knew very well that Kato Megumi had not raised any questions about the gameplay of "Flash Girls" during the club activities last week, but had mentioned it in casual conversation with him.

The discussion about the gameplay of "Flash Girls" can be traced back to last month, when he played video games with Kato Megumi. That was the first time they talked about the gameplay.

Kato Megumi raised the issue of gameplay, but he never mentioned it to Aki Tomoya.

If he is not in his position, he will not seek his government.

This is Tomoya Aki's responsibility, and Bai Ye doesn't want to worry about it. He is not only the programmer of "Flash Girls", he also has his own dreams to fight for.

If someone else brings it up, he is still happy to respond.

As for Tomoya Aki's doubts about whether gameplay was brought up last week, he could have easily glossed over it.

Shiha stood on his side, and Eriri was still turning gray.

"Pure text-based galgames are gradually losing popularity. If you want fun, concise gameplay with depth, the easiest way is to add hidden items and multiple endings."

"It's like..."

Bai Ye glanced at Shiyu's black stockings, passed her sudden playful smile, and finally came to the white headband on her head.

"Do you mind if I use Kasumigaoka-san as an example?"

"do not mind."

Quietly slapping away Shiyu's slender fingers that were trying to do something naughty again, Bai Ye said:

"Take Kasumigaoka-san as an example. If you find her white headband, you can meet the conditions to trigger the hidden route and possibly reach the True O ending."

"Of course, you can add multiple hidden items and endings to increase playability, but the writing is difficult..."

Bai Ye's meaning is very clear. If there is one ending for each hidden item, the true ending of collecting all the items, plus the normal ending without any hidden items, Shiyu is likely to turn into a panda.

Of course he felt bad for his future girlfriend.

Tomoya Aki also thought about the difficulty issue, and looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha with hesitation.

He didn't want to say it out loud because he was afraid that Kasumigaoka Utaha would be scheming against him.

But the anticipation for "Flash Girl" forced him to speak.

"Senior Shiyu, look..."

"no problem."

To his surprise, Kasumigaoka Utaha agreed without any hesitation or complaint, which was completely different from his impression of Utaha senior.

Kasumigaoka Utaha looked straight at him with a clear gaze.

"Mr. Ethics, I also feel that the previous storyline was too simple and not enough to attract others."

"Is it really possible, Senior Shiyu?!" Akito Tomoya was excited.

"Okay, it doesn't mean to completely overturn the previous storyline. I just need to add some elements to it. It can be regarded as training my abilities."

Kasumigaoka Utaha was also very happy, and felt that the huge rock pressing on her heart was lighter.

Her slender fingers quietly approached Bai Ye again, and when the other party was about to drive her away, she suddenly grabbed Bai Ye's index finger and gently held it between her fingers.

Then she gave Aki Tomoya a formal smile.

"Just leave it to me, I will definitely give you a satisfactory copy."

PS: Progress report 17 (3904/10000), 7 updates are owed, this is a normal update.

The fatigue accumulated recently broke out today. There may be another update today. Maybe.

I want to go to bed early.

Chapter 112 The night that Shiyu was entangled with has just begun

"Doctor, there is still a lot of work to do. You can't rest yet."

Seeing that Sawamura Eriri didn't react at all, Bai Ye took the phone away from her ear, turned off the terrifying voice message, and then shook his head at everyone.

"Sawamura-kun is beyond help. Let's make barbecued pork buns."

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Ye heard the sound of someone wiping saliva behind him.

“Barbecued pork buns, where are the barbecued pork buns?!”

"I'm going to use you to make barbecued pork buns!"

Now, he really felt that Sawamura Eriri was hopeless. Would she be tricked away by some weird uncle with just a meat bun?!

……

Eriri Sawamura was successfully "resurrected" and today's club officially began.

Although Michiru Hyodo did not agree to be a music producer, she also participated. Firstly, she was interested in Tomoya Aki's persistence even though he gave up being her agent, and secondly, she wanted to give everyone some musical advice.

Aki Tomoya coughed a few times and pretended to be serious.

"We're discussing the gameplay of 'Flash Girls'. We're discussing adding hidden items and multiple endings. What do you think? Please vote."

Sawamura Eriri had just returned to this beautiful world and asked with her head tilted:

"Ren Ye, what hidden item do you want to add?"

"Well... we want to increase the playability of the game. By then, each heroine will have her own hidden props, hidden endings, and CGs."

Bai Ye patted her shoulder and said earnestly:

"In short, it's correct to understand it as a massive increase in work."

Sawamura Eriri: “…”

A bolt of thunder struck from the sky, and she had just returned from hell, only to be struck into the abyss again.

She discovered a horrifying fact: Michiru Hyodo and Tomoya were born in the same hospital on the same day of the same month of the same year, making them a perfect pair of childhood sweethearts!

"Senior..."

Bai Ye understood what she was thinking with her tearful eyes, but now was not the time to discuss secrets.

"Sawamura-kun, do you understand what new responsibilities you have?"
