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

Bai Ye woke up as if from a dream, smiled embarrassedly, picked up a magazine and returned to his seat.

He knew that Kato Megumi had many doubts in her mind, so he spoke first:

"Can Kato guess what I'm going to do? I think I've pretty much revealed my purpose."

"You can probably guess it."

Kato Megumi ate a small quail egg, and the afternoon sun felt warm on her face.

"Senior, are you researching the styles and prices of travel and food magazines? They'd sell well in medium-sized convenience stores near commercial areas. Are you planning to sell travel and food magazines?"

“NoNoNo~” Bai Ye shook his finger.

"Let's keep this a secret for now. Kato-san, please help me sort out the travel and food magazines. It's too embarrassing to do it alone, and I might even get chased away by the store clerk. If there are two of us, especially a man and a woman, I'm sure the store clerk will turn a blind eye."

"So that's how it is..." Kato Megumi held the chopsticks lightly in her mouth, "It's really appropriate to do this on a date~"

A thought flashed through Bai Ye's mind, and he felt that Kato Megumi had something else to say.

At this time, Kato Megumi put down her chopsticks.

"Senior, I'll go pick out some magazines first. One person's goal isn't as big as two people's. Just record the cover, number of pages, and price like we did just now, right?"

"Yes, you record for a while, and I'll take over later."

Picking up Bai Ye's little notebook, Kato Megumi went to the bookshelf counter.

Bai Ye was eating oden while recalling what happened a few days ago.

This Thursday, he received a job offer from a company that was interested in his food blog and wanted him to create a food guide for the Tokyo area.

Bai Ye did not agree immediately. He understood how difficult it was to produce and publish a food manual. Copywriting, illustrations, data, connections... many things were indispensable, and he needed a large amount of market research data as support.

Now is the Internet age. There is countless but disorganized information about the food industry online. Coupled with the attractive low-cost advertisements, the quality of information everyone obtains is uneven.

Japanese tourists also have a habit of buying a local brochure at a convenience store when traveling to a new place to learn about local attractions and food.

The edition number and printing cost of the food manual are there, so people trust the food manual more than the confusing and confusing information on the Internet.

Moreover, food manuals are timely, and people prefer to buy the latest published food manuals.

Otherwise, wouldn’t it be embarrassing if you finally choose a store you like and find out it’s closed when you get there?

However, Bai Ye has not yet decided whether to accept this job. He is not capable of completing it alone. The current market sales of similar products alone are worth his research for a while.

After a while, Kato Megumi came back.

"Senior, I've checked the right half of the bookshelf. Only the left half is left."

"Okay! You've worked hard. Kato-san, please take a seat. I'll be right back."

After recording the data on the left half, Bai Ye and Kato Megumi found the store clerk and asked about the sales of various magazines in the past three months.

Since they bought a lot of oden, the clerk readily told them the approximate sales volume.

“This store is done.”

The two went out. The sun was shining brightly and the afternoon had just begun.

"Senior, do we need to go to the next convenience store?"

"Yes, but the travel and food brochures sold in convenience stores are all similar. If you come across something you haven't seen before, just write it down. If there's something you don't have, just buy some and then ask the clerk about the sales."

"Senior is very generous~"

Bai Ye shrugged helplessly.

"After all, it's hindering other people's business. Instead of wasting time haggling and annoying the clerk, it's better to just buy the ticket. Time cost is also a cost. You sell the product, and I get the data. It's a win-win for both parties. Everyone is happy, that's the real good."

Kato Megumi looked at him, a light flashed in her light yellow eyes, and she nodded.

"Senior, what you said makes a lot of sense."

Bai Ye put the collected data into his bag and turned slightly.

"Kato-san, where's the data you collected?"

"it's here."

Bai Ye took the piece of paper that Kato Megumi held out and tried to pull it back for the first time. He felt that Kato Megumi did not let go, so he pulled it again and finally got the piece of paper in his hand.

Looking up, Kato Megumi was staring at him expressionlessly.

white night"……"

He put the paper away and walked forward while casually taking Kato Megumi's hand.

Hello everyone is really good!

PS: Progress report 20 (4604/10000), 4 more updates are owed, this is a reward for additional updates.

How can the spring be so clear? It is only because of the votes rushing into it!

Chapter 120: Research on the Zero Possibility of Dating Without Being Discovered

Bai Ye and Kato Megumi spent the entire afternoon conducting market research. They rode their scooters northward, stopping at convenience stores and book stalls to buy small items as a stepping stone, and then chatted with each other to extract the intelligence data they wanted. They were successful all the way.

Of course, this is not without cost.

Kato Megumi put a pack of biscuits into a plastic bag on the bicycle frame, and the plastic bag was filled with snacks such as potato chips, soda, and candy.

I visited more than ten convenience stores and spent nearly 1 yuan.

"Senior, the bag is full. Can we finish all the snacks we bought?"

Bai Ye seemed to be very confident, as he had anticipated this scene from the very beginning.

"Don't worry, I'm not the only one who eats it. I eat a little every time I go to club activities, and it's gone in half a month. It's not a loss if I can do it as a favor."

"Yeah, Sawamura-kun really likes snacks~"

Kato Megumi gave a smile that looked like a smile but was actually very meaningful. She put on her helmet and buttoned it up. The windshield just blocked Bai Ye's view of looking back.

"Senior, where are we going next?"

Bai Ye also put on a helmet and started his beloved motorcycle.

"That's all for today. I'm sorry to have you running around all afternoon."

Kato Megumi looked at her cell phone. The time was 4: in the afternoon, more than an hour before the end of the afternoon.

"Is that all for today?"

On the scooter, Bai Ye and Kato Megumi were only a palm's distance apart, and her slightly disappointed voice naturally reached Bai Ye's ears.

Regardless of whether Kato Megumi did it on purpose or from the heart, Bai Ye's plan for today is not over yet.

"No, no, no, Kato-san, you're overthinking it. I said I'd take you to some delicious and fun places. We've already visited the delicious places, but we haven't been to the fun places yet!"

In the rearview mirror, Kato Megumi's mouth curled up slightly. In order to maintain balance and to lean forward to hear Bai Ye's words clearly, she put her hand on his shoulder.

"Where are we going next, Senior~"

Bai Ye stopped at the traffic light and pointed at a store opposite.

"Here, we're here."

……

Bai Ye had already planned the route for today's date. He walked all the way from the mall just to bring Kato Megumi to this store.

"Have you heard of the Horse Bones Comics Shop, Kato-san?"

Kato Megumi pursed her lips, her attention focused on the logo of the Ma Zhigu Comics Store.

A horse skull is biting a red carrot with a funny smile. There are two bones crossed under the skull. The overall look is very much like a pirate flag.

"I remember there was a comic book in my senior's house with this horse head printed on it."

"Yeah, Kato-san has a good memory. That's a bonus. Horse Bones Comics is a big comics store, and they often ask popular comic authors for bonus works, so it has the Horse Bones logo printed on it."

Bai Ye pushed the door open with Kato Megumi, and as soon as they entered, they heard the clerk's energetic and lively greeting.

"Welcome to Horse Bone~"

"There are quite a few new publications on the shelves today, please take a look!"

Raising their hands to politely decline the enthusiastic clerk, Bai Ye and Kato Megumi stood in front of the recommendation counter.

"This is otaku heaven, Kato-san. If you want to learn how to be the heroine of a galgame, this atmosphere is perfect for you. Many galgames have comic book storylines!"

Kato Megumi was also affected by the atmosphere of the comic book store. Her calm light yellow eyes showed a bit of anticipation, and she picked up a comic book from the recommendation counter.

"I just did research with my senior. Is that considered a plot in a galgame?"

Although market research is a job, Bai Ye still has the mentality of dating Kato Megumi. Whenever he finds something delicious or interesting, he will call her to watch it together, so she nodded.

Whether it counts as dating depends on your mindset. Many office romances occur during work, don’t they?

"Of course it does. Games are based on real life. Galgame contains almost all the plots you encounter in real life. There is nothing it can't do, except what you can't imagine."

Because the comic came in a sealing bag, Kato Megumi flipped through the comic in her hand and handed it to Bai Ye.

"Senior, what do you think of this book? Anything listed on the recommendation counter should be good, right?"

"let me see."

The name of the comic is "The Love Guardian". Looking at the big, blinking eyes of the character on the cover, which take up 1/3 of her face, it is not difficult to tell that it is a girls' comic.

"It's a shojo manga. I don't usually read that genre, so I've never heard of it. But since it's on the recommendation counter, it must have some merits."

Kato Megumi held the comic in front of her, her eyes half-closed, and smiled with a very girlish look.

"Senior, do you think this comic is suitable for me?"

Is shojo comics suitable for Kato Megumi?

Speaking of games related to girls' comics, Bai Ye couldn't help but think of a galgame masterpiece that made thousands of players feel sick - "White Album 2".

He suddenly trembled with fear.

Kato Megumi in front of him was very beautiful, but when Bai Ye thought of her saying "Why are you so skilled", his stomach tightened. The picture in his mind was so beautiful that he dared not imagine it.

"Kato-san, why don't you check out the manga I recommended? While shojo manga are good, they also have a stomach medicine plot, which might be too advanced for you."

Kato Megumi nodded, put down the comic and followed Bai Ye's footsteps, but did not give up thinking.

"Senior, what is stomach medicine?"

"Stomach medicine... Kato-san, do you want to know?"

"I think so, because the senior looks very painful, yet very happy."

Bai Ye held his stomach and looked at Kato Megumi with melancholy eyes, as if he saw the child he raised was about to step into the endless abyss.

He thought about it and shook his head again.

Even if he doesn't say it now, Kato Megumi will be exposed to it in the future, so it's better to give her a shot of prevention now.

"Stomach medicine is when the hero and heroine clearly have the ability to avoid misunderstandings, but because of their respective personalities or various coincidences, misunderstandings form, or even deepen, leaving readers with stomachaches."

After looking at Bai Ye for a few seconds, Kato Megumi tilted her head and a small question mark appeared in her face.

"If it's a painful plot, why design it?"

Bai Ye continued to explain.

"The characters in the story may be forced to do so against their will, or have their own agenda, forcing them to make the decision to take the 'stomach medicine'."

"In reality, 'Stomach Medicine' is a tragedy. People tend to remember sadness more easily. The author uses this to make readers remember his work. Of course, there is also the idea of first suppressing and then praising."

"Like This……"

Suddenly, Kato Megumi's eyes swept to the left, she saw something out of the corner of her eye, and then she showed an expression of understanding.

She took a step forward, and the distance between her and Bai Ye suddenly shortened to just a few inches. She raised her jade hand lightly.

"Senior, I think I understand why there are stomach medicines~"

"Uh-huh, what are you doing, Kato-san?"

"Senior, your collar is askew. You should always pay attention to your image when you are discussing business outside. Let me help you."

Kato Megumi folded Bai Ye's crooked collar and smoothed it out. Her eyes and movements were so gentle as if she was treating a rare treasure.

"Okay, the current senior is very handsome~"

"Oh, thank you."
