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

Before he could react, Sawamura Eriri spoke first, holding a half-eaten finger biscuit in her hand.

"Kasumigaoka, this is 99% pure chocolate?!"

"I know." Kasumigaoka Utaha said in a calm tone.

Since Kasumigaoka Utaha insisted, Bai Ye could only remind her again.

“It’s really hard.”

"Thank you."

Kasumigaoka Utaha pursed her lips slightly, returned to her seat, and put the finger biscuit in her mouth.

Her brows furrowed for a moment, but she immediately returned to her usual calm and gloomy expression. It seemed as if the previous change was just an illusion.

"The bitterness of chocolate is nothing compared to the bitterness in my heart."

The second volume of "Love Metronome" was highly recommended by Tomoya Aki's blog and became a popular work, and she also became a popular light novel writer.

Since then, she felt that her passion for writing had changed.

If she wants to change, she will change. She is happy to see herself change and change for the sake of Ethics-kun.

However, Ethics-kun never raised any opinions about the third volume of "Love Metronome" again, and even said, "I want to see Shiyu-senpai's work that comes from her heart."

Now, the third volume of "Love Metronome" has been put on hold. I toss and turn every night, but I can't find the original intention and motivation to write.

Bai Ye looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha's face, which sometimes gritted her teeth and sometimes looked gloomy, as if she was struggling on the edge of the abyss, and understood something.

"Kasumigaoka-san, you really work hard."

After a chance to "feed her", Eriri Sawamura became closer to Bai Ye.

She couldn't help but whisper when she heard his quiet whisper.

"Senior Xiao, have you heard of 'Love Metronome'?"

"I've heard of it." Bai Ye nodded.

He had read "Love Metronome" written by Kasumi Shiko, and he was also aware of the debate between Aki Tomoya and many others on his blog to strongly recommend "Love Metronome".

Because he also participated in that debate.

Chapter 13 The Purpose of Weekend Gatherings

The discussion was held in a relatively cheerful atmosphere, except for Kasumigaoka Utaha.

She hadn't said a word since her script was rejected by Tomoya Aki, and had been buried in her computer. She only spoke when she asked Bai Ye for 99% pure chocolate.

"That's it for today then."

Aki Tomoya announced the end of today's discussion and breathed a sigh of relief.

The plan he had been rushing to work on these two days was still only three pages long. The only improvement was the three pages of content. Naturally, Sawamura Eriri scolded him again, and even Bai Ye couldn't help but say a few words. Kato Megumi still asked some questions that seemed harmless but actually hit the pain points.

After school, go home.

Bai Ye never passed the "Slope of Fate" again, even though he really wanted to witness a "fateful encounter" with his own eyes.

First of all, it is not the closest way to home. Second, if I meet Kato Megumi, even if I use buying things as an excuse, it is likely to arouse suspicion.

Tonight's dinner is curry. While the curry is cooking on the stove, Bai Ye takes the opportunity to take a bath.

"Everyone's expectations can be achieved, my happiness is higher than the sky~~"

After taking a shower, Bai Ye picked up his phone and saw that the group chat history was already ten feet high.

“We haven’t seen people so talkative in person.”

When I flipped it over, I found out that it was Kasumigaoka Utaha's hindsight comment, in which she evaluated Aki Tomoya's plan from a tricky angle and ridiculed him at the same time.

[Senior Shiyu, you were listening.]

[Being indecisive is easy for me. I also sensed the thought that Ethics-kun was trying to get away with just now.]

[I'm not trying to fool around. My love for "Flash Girl" remains unchanged!]

[I really hope to see the day when you stand on the school rooftop and shout this to the whole school.]

What will happen if I shout?

[If I kick you out, everyone will think, 'Ah, this person deserves it.']

......

The separation line that cuts through the noisy part was a suggestion from Eriri Sawamura.

[I'm out of inspiration, and I haven't had time to scout locations lately. How about going out this weekend and treating it as the club's first gathering?]

Aki Tomoya responded with surprise.

[Eri, aren't you a homebody? How could you be the first to suggest going out?!]

[I’ll kill you, Ren! !]

Continuing through the noisy part, everyone gradually became interested in the weekend party.

As the organizer of the club, Aki Tomoya asked for everyone's opinions.

[Is Kato free this weekend? Can you come out?]

[I'm free, but if everyone isn't here, it'll lose its value as a party, right?]

[That’s right, is Senior Xiao free?]

......

[Where's Senior Xiao? Isn't he here? Please chat in the group more often. You might get some inspiration!]

On the weekend, Bai Ye originally planned to go to the pet store, but after thinking about it, the two did not seem to contradict each other.

Most gatherings take place in the shopping mall area, which is not far from the pet shop, so it’s not too late to go to the pet shop after the party.

[Sorry, I was just taking a shower. I'm free this weekend.]

As soon as the message was sent, Kato Megumi replied that she would go out when she was free.

Afterwards, Kasumigaoka Utaha also sent an OK message.

[Everyone is fine, the last question is where to go?]

Bai Ye replied first.

[Mall, right? In dating games, gatherings often involve shopping, and I know of a good shop that could be a reference for desserts and drinks in the plot.]

[That’s a good suggestion, Senior Xiao!]

Aki Tomoya was very happy. If he were to think about it, he would not be able to choose a good store even if he racked his brains; if he were to let Kasumigaoka Utaha and Sawamura Eriri choose, they might not be able to come up with a result until tomorrow.

The other three also sent messages expressing their agreement.

Thus, the first gathering of the club was decided.

. . . . . .

It’s sunny on the weekend.

The party was at one o'clock in the afternoon, and Bai Ye was lucky enough to make up for the sleep he had missed during the week.

It was already 11 o'clock when I woke up. I opened my phone and saw a short plot sent by Kasumigaoka Utaha in the group chat. To be precise, it was the story line of a heroine.

There is no doubt that he was passed by Aki Tomoya.

Why was there no doubt about it? Because Bai Ye also shook his head after seeing it. This was so different from the romantic gal games he had played before.

[The plot is good, but I feel it's too realistic and doesn't feel like a game plot.]

He didn't believe that the up-and-coming light novelist who could write "Love Metronome" would not be able to write a good plot for a love galgame.

"It seems like Kasumigaoka-san has a problem..."

After giving his own opinions, Bai Ye simply fried two dishes, ate, took a shower, and prepared to go out.

I have been studying in Neon for more than two years. Although I have many friends I can talk to, the number of times I have gone out for parties can be counted on one hand.

We are all homebodies, and the only time we are willing to move around is when a new publication comes out.

"Look, let's gather at the commercial street first."

The apartment is some distance from the commercial street, and it is inconvenient to ride a bicycle, so Bai Ye chose to take the bus.

More than 10 minutes later, Bai Ye got off the car and saw three girls standing on the side of the commercial street through the busy traffic.

It was a bit chilly in late spring, and most people on the street wore thin shirts and jackets, including the three girls.

The difference is that the same clothes look ordinary when worn by passers-by, but when worn by three girls, they can become a beautiful landscape, and their every frown and smile is captivating.

"Senior Xiao!"

Eriri Sawamura waved at him across the street. Her white undershirt and yellow dress, paired with her signature golden twintails, made her look lively and cute.

"Good afternoon everyone."

"good afternoon."

After greeting everyone, Bai Ye looked around but didn't see Tomoya Aki.

"Where's Aki-san?"

Bai Ye turned his gaze to Sawamura Eriri and Kasumigaoka Utaha, and the latter shook her head.

"Renya, he hasn't arrived yet."

Bai Ye looked at the time and saw that there were still 5 minutes left until the agreed time.

Just wait.

After 5 minutes, there was still no sign of Tomoya Aki, and the message in the group was still on the way.

Kasumigaoka Utaha was staring at her chin with her fingertips, looking annoyed. Her bangs slightly covered her slightly gloomy crystal red eyes, but her rosy lips were mumbling dark words.

"Ethics-kun, are you still holding onto a paper figure at this time..."

white night"......"

No matter how you think about it, it's impossible to go out with a paper wife in your arms, but it's possible to put her in your bag.

Bai Ye let out a breath after touching the K-on in his bag.

Now that you have joined the game, it is also important to calm everyone's emotions.

Harmony is the most important thing.

"Sawamura-kun, where are we going to take photos today?"

"Huh?" Sawamura Eriri snapped out of her thoughts after fiddling with her camera, shook her head, and pointed to the side. "Ask Kasumigaoka, it should be according to her script."

"oh oh."

Bai Ye certainly understood that he had to follow the script, but he was not familiar with Kasumigaoka Utaha, so it was just right to use Sawamura Eriri as a bridge.

The experience of the past few days told him that although Kasumigaoka Utaha kept muttering to herself, she still listened carefully to what everyone said.

"Kasumigaoka-san."

"Xiao Jun, is there something wrong?

"I want to know where I'm going to take photos today so I can make a route map and save some time."

When she heard it was about work, Kasumigaoka Utaha came back to her senses from her mumbling and her eyes brightened up again.

If the other person is Tomoya Aki, she can be both public and private, teasing Tomoya while working.

But now the other person is Bai Ye, whom he just met, so he should keep public and private affairs separate.

Kasumigaoka Utaha tucked her long hair behind her ears, took out her cell phone and sent a document.

"I'll post the places I'm going to shoot today on the group chat. Thank you for your hard work, Xiao Jun."

"Ok!"

Bai Ye frowned and began to plan today's route.

Chapter 14: Observing Others and Being Observed

"I am coming!"

Aki Tomoya came over panting, with beads of sweat on his forehead.
