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

A simple sentence from Kasumigaoka Utaha left Aki Tomoya speechless.

Aki Tomoya's face turned red, and he felt so angry that he couldn't let it out.

"Although I haven't read it, how do you know it's not well written, Shiyu-senpai? Has anyone else read it? I read the first two volumes and was deeply moved!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha was almost amused by his logic.

She is the original author. If even the original author doesn’t know that her writing is not good, who else will know?

However, she still needs the support of one person.

She scratched Bai Ye's palm, and the latter responded by clenching it again.

She knew what to do, and wrote a sentence on Bai Ye's palm with her slender fingers.

Thank you, Xiaobai-kun~

"Last month, 50 days ago to be exact, I lent the third volume to Xiao Jun. Then 43 days ago, after discussing it with Xiao Jun, I tore up the third volume myself."

Kasumigaoka Utaha's tone was still calm, but the precise words like "day" of time and "tear it up with one's own hands" pierced Aki Tomoya's heart like a bee sting.

Confusion caught up with his brows, and anger rolled in his eyes.

The third volume of "Love Metronome" represents the bond between Tomoya Aki and Utaha Kasumigaoka. He has a feeling that the bond has been severed, and it seems that the senior Utaha is gone forever.

This is exactly what Shiyu wants.

From the moment Bai Ye held her in his arms, she was no longer the same person she used to be.

Now, she is determined to break away from her past with Tomoya Aki on "Love Metronome", recognize her identity, draw a clear line, and welcome a new life with Byakuya.

"Linlijun, if you are a fan of Love Metronome or Kasumi Shiko, please support me now and do not interfere with the resetting of the third volume. Isn't this what you wanted in the first place? Please rest assured, I will not let the fans down."

Kasumigaoka Utaha's words are just like her writing style, leaving no room for flaws.

"No, Senior Shiyu, I..."

Tomoya Aki wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Utaha Kasumigaoka.

"Ethics-kun, you are now the person in charge of 'Flash Girls'. You should focus on 'Flash Girls'. If you don't like me doing other work in the club activities, I apologize and I won't do it again."

After saying that, Kasumigaoka Utaha closed the document, opened the text of "Flash Girls", and no longer looked at Aki Tomoya.

Regarding this quarrel, Kato Megumi didn't say a word. She lowered her head and flipped through the new novel that Bai Ye bought for her, without even turning back. Sawamura Eriri was observing all the time, but always hesitated to speak. Bai Ye also didn't speak from beginning to end, but he never let go of Shiyu's hand.

As for Tomoya Aki, he had already returned to his seat, but his dissatisfied look made Bai Ye know that this matter would not end like this.

The club activity room fell into deathly silence. Even Eriri Sawamura felt the oppressive atmosphere and chewed potato chips quietly for fear of attracting attention.

At the same time, her eyes kept wandering between Kato Megumi, Byakuya, and Kasumigaoka Utaha, trying to see something.

As for Bai Ye, although he and Shi Yu also remained silent, they have the power of technology!

[I heard you're very brave, Shiyu!]

After understanding Bai Ye's intention, Shi Yu curled up the corners of her mouth and smiled knowingly.

[I’m super brave, okay!]

Now she felt refreshed and trembling with excitement, like she had eaten a big scoop of chocolate ice cream on a hot summer day.

She finally said what she had wanted to say most in the past month.

But this is not enough.

Just like Xiaobaijun said, you have to make your words clear at critical moments.

She understood that she had not completely cut off her relationship with Tomoya Aki on "Love Metronome".

She also needs an opportunity, an opportunity to make Aki Tomoya face reality.

. . . . . .

The club activities ended, and Tomoya Aki was the first to leave, in a hurry, without even saying goodbye.

Everyone knew that he was in a bad mood, so they packed up their things and prepared to go home.

Kasumigaoka Utaha was walking on the school road, looking down at her phone, when she suddenly heard someone calling her from behind.

"Wait a minute, Kasumigaoka Utaha."

Even though my hands and feet are cold, I still type, GKD!

Chapter 123 The girls’ emotional battle has never ended

Shiyu turned around and found that the person coming was Eriri Sawamura, so she slowed down.

She could probably guess why Eriri Sawamura was looking for her.

What she said this afternoon sounded normal to her and Bai Ye.

But for Eriri Sawamura, this was like a bolt from the blue, shattering her inherent understanding of the relationships among people.

"What's going on, Sawamura-kun?"

Eriri Sawamura walked forward quickly, but slowed down when she was almost next to Shiyu, staring at her with her eyes, as if she was observing a stranger.

"Kasumigaoka Utaha, are you okay today?"

After sending Bai Ye a message saying "Talking to Sawamura-san, we'll talk later", Shiyu put away her phone, looked at her with interest, and smiled confidently.

"I'm fine. Work is progressing well. I had afternoon tea and snacks. Today was pretty good~"

"Huh?!" Eriri Sawamura was stunned, and her twin ponytails shook twice.

The blonde girl didn't intend to beat around the bush, as she wasn't good at it herself.

"What did you mean by what you said in the club this afternoon?"

"literal meaning."

"What do you mean literally?"

Shiyu couldn't help but hold her forehead, thinking that Sawamura-san was also the type who had to make things clear.

Eri Sawamura pursed her cherry lips. At this moment, Kasumigaoka Utaha looked pretty much the same as she had in her memory, just as annoying.

"What? You look so impatient."

"It's okay." Shiyu waved her hand. "Since Sawamura-san wants to hear the exact and straightforward explanation, I won't mind telling you anything."

Shiyu lifted the long hair by her ears to make herself look more formal.

"Listen carefully, this is what I'm saying: I'm telling you to stop worrying about the love metronome."

Finally, she got a definite answer from Kasumigaoka Utaha, but the doubts in Sawamura Eriri's heart not only did not diminish in the slightest, but instead surged into her heart like a rising tide.

"Why do you want to do this? Kasumigaoka, didn't you want Ren to read the third volume?"

She knew a little about Kasumigaoka Utaha's past, including the events related to the third volume of "Love Metronome".

"People change, Sawamura-san." The memories in her eyes receded like the tide, and Shiyu's eyes were no longer bound. "Three days of absence makes one look at others with new eyes. It's been half a year since that incident, and it's time for Sawamura-san to update his existing understanding."

"Huh?" Sawamura Eriri frowned.

Shiyu realized that she had made the mistake of being too pretentious again, so she changed her way of saying it.

"I wanted to get the advice of Ethics-kun at first, but he refused. Now I don't need it anymore. Do you understand that?"

"No longer needed?" The surprise in Sawamura Eriri's eyes grew.

If Kasumigaoka Utaha simply doesn't want to be influenced by others in her creation, she can understand this feeling because she is also a creator.

However, in society, no one can be immune to it.

Similarly, this matter involves a wide range of issues, not just severing the connection with Tomoya Aki on "Love Metronome".

Eriri Sawamura couldn't believe the conclusion that popped up in her mind. She grabbed her twin ponytails with a little annoyance and carefully asked the answer she wanted to know most.

"Kasumigaoka, have you... given up?"

"I gave up a long time ago." Kasumigaoka Utaha shrugged nonchalantly. "Sawamura-kun, you may be a loser, but you shouldn't be this stupid. I hinted at that a lot this afternoon."

"Kasumigaoka, now is not the time to joke around!"

Eriri Sawamura understood the "hint" that Kasumigaoka was talking about.

50 days ago, 43 days ago.

Just count forward from the date and you will know what day it is.

Eriri Sawamura remembers clearly what happened that day because it was such a big event.

"50 days ago, you lent the third volume to a senior. 43 days ago, you said you were busy, but you were actually sick and didn't come to school."

The most convincing explanation for giving up on Lunye is that she found someone she likes more.

"Forty-three days ago, you said you discussed the third volume with your senior and decided to rewrite it. Did your senior visit you that day?"

"Yes, there is still hope for Sawamura-kun~"

There is only one candidate in Sawamura Eriri's mind for the boy who has a narrow circle of friends, is not good at communication, is dark and sharp-tongued, and whose relationship with Kasumigaoka has not improved suddenly in the past few months.

"Kasumigaoka, you... like senior?"

When she heard it was Bai Ye, a hint of fascination flashed in Shiyu's eyes, but she quickly suppressed it in her heart.

"I wouldn't say I'm in love with him, but Xiao Jun has helped me find another angle to think about things. I'm very grateful to him and have a good impression of him."

In order to successfully "repay the debt", Shiyu had to lie a little to cover up the fact that she was completely in love with Bai Ye and even wanted to go to his house for a hug and a relationship.

Even though she couldn't resist the urge to be intimate with Bai Ye in the club, she tried to hide it as long as possible.

"You haven't fallen in love yet...?"

Eri Sawamura felt that there was something else behind her words.

It is not easy to hear from Kasumigaoka Utaha that she has a "good impression" of the opposite sex, and it almost confirms this fact.

After being enemies for so long, when Eriri Sawamura suddenly found out that her rival liked another person, and that person was Bai Ye, she felt mixed emotions.

Bai Ye is a great guy. When her family holds parties, she has met many other young men, but none of them has ever made her feel as comfortable as when she is with Bai Ye.

"I should be happy that I have one less opponent, but why did I feel a little uncomfortable when I found out that Kasumigaoka liked me?"

She even couldn't help but question Kasumigaoka Utaha again.

"Really, Senior?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha crossed her arms and smiled meaningfully.

Love is a battle of the brain, so she naturally had her considerations when she told this to Eriri Sawamura.

Everyone likes good things, but when this "good thing" is Bai Ye's feelings, especially when there is Kato Megumi competing for it, Shiyu has no choice but to do some preparations in advance.

"Sawamura-kun seems surprised? Hmm... let me say congratulations first~"

"Congratulations for what?" Sawamura Eriri's mind was like a mess, so confused that she lost the ability to think.

"Congratulations on your victory! No! It's a win-win for both of us. We've both found someone we truly love, and Aki Tomoya is yours."

Eriri Sawamura suddenly felt very unhappy.

The reason is not the seemingly alms-giving words from Kasumigaoka at the end, but "win-win".

If Kasumigaoka were to date the senior, would that mean that the relationship between him and her couldn't be the same as it is now?

We went shopping together, ate snacks together, chatted together, read comics together, enjoyed the food made by the senior, and received the gentle pats on the head from the senior...

Kasumigaoka Utaha glanced at Sawamura Eriri who was in some dilemma, reached out and patted her shoulder, and when she came to her senses, she waved at her.

"What else do you have to say, Kasumigaoka?"

For some reason, Eriri Sawamura felt that her feelings towards Utaha Kasumigaoka became worse, especially when she saw the happy smile on her lips, she felt that she was showing off like a winner.

"It's okay. Goodbye, Sawamura-kun. I wish you happiness."

PS: Progress report 21 (6428/10000), 3 updates are owed, this is a normal update.

I'm too busy this afternoon and don't have time to write. Let me see if I can write one more chapter.

Chapter 124 Shiyu's Feelings and Original Stockings

Bai Ye's mood at this moment is no different from Sawamura Eriri's.

Mixed feelings and a myriad of thoughts.
