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

Michiru Hyodo's outfit today is different from what we saw last week. She is wearing a purple pleated skirt and short-necked black socks that are convenient for sports, but a long-sleeved shirt on her upper body. There is a lace at the neckline that extends down to the hem. A strand of her hair is pinned behind her ear with a hairpin, making her look more pure like a girl next door.

However, the hot sweat dripping from the forehead and the hearty smile gave this purity a sporty look.

"Hyoudou-kun, would you like something to drink? Aren't you feeling hot wearing a long-sleeved shirt today?"

Michiru Hyodo smiled and didn't take Bai Ye's joke to heart.

"A Coke would be fine! I missed the bus to the mall and had to take another one, so I ran all the way here from the last stop. As for the long-sleeved shirt..."

Michiru Hyodo lifted her collar, realizing that it seemed a little indecent in front of a boy she just met, so she smiled embarrassedly and put her hand down stiffly.

"Because we're discussing something very important, I think it would be better to dress formally."

Bai Ye thought that unfamiliarity was the biggest reason.

If it was Tomoya Aki sitting opposite her now, she would probably be more relaxed, just like she was at Tomoya Aki's house last week.

Knowing Michiru Hyodo's personality, Bai Ye sat in a much more casual manner, with half of his body leaning on the back of the chair, conscientiously implementing the principle of "do whatever is comfortable".

"If I were Hyodo-san, I would definitely wear whatever is comfortable. Today's sun is too merciless. Do you want to take off your clothes? Of course, I don't mean that, hahaha~~"

"Hey, Xiao looks interesting too!"

Michiru Hyodo has a carefree personality and was very happy about Bai Ye's lack of politeness.

Seeing this, she quickly took off her long-sleeved shirt, revealing the cool clothes underneath. She fanned herself with a hand-made cool fan, and the look she gave Bai Ye became less restrained and more intimate.

Taking a sip of ice cola, Michiru Hyodo shuddered refreshingly and began to get to the point.

"What's that performance classmate Xiao was talking about? I told everyone about it today, and everyone is looking forward to it! If we weren't unfamiliar with you, everyone might have followed us!"

"It's a barbecue restaurant, and they want to hold a small concert for their guests on their anniversary."

Bai Ye took out a piece of manuscript paper from his bag, on which was some information about the barbecue restaurant and relevant requirements for the small concert.

Although there is not much actual content and you may not even need a manuscript paper, it is always right to give the other party a feeling that you are taking the matter seriously.

As expected, Michiru Hyodo showed more trust on her face and took the manuscript and read it carefully.

"Yeah, the customers are mostly young people... They want to play pop music... Preferably a young band... I understand."

Miruchi Hyodo put down the manuscript, looked at Bai Ye, and asked the doubts in her heart.

"Why didn't Xiao tell me through Allen, but came to me directly?"

Chapter 129: It’s a promise, Michiru Hyodo!

coming!

Bai Ye sighed in his heart, he knew he couldn't avoid Aki Tomoya.

It's normal if you think about it. He is the programmer of "Flash Girls" and Aki Tomo is the general manager. To some extent, they are like an employee and a boss, and Michiru Hyodo is the boss of the other party.

When workers bypass their own bosses to contact other bosses, it always seems abrupt in the modern world where workplaces are clearly divided into different classes.

But what if it is a meeting between bosses?

"Because, besides being the programmer for 'Glitter Girls', I also run my own small business, and I'll probably need Hyodo-san's help in the future."

The last bit of grudge in Michiru Hyodo's heart disappeared, and she was very interested in the "business" that Bai Ye mentioned.

"What is Mr. Xiao running? If you need help with the band, that would be great for me!"

Since Michiru Hyodo is interested, Bai Ye can just say it. Understanding is one of the best ways to increase mutual trust.

"It's product wholesale. I know a lot of restaurant and convenience store owners in Tokyo. They sometimes organize seasonal events in conjunction with shopping streets. Sometimes, for anniversary events like this, they'll contact me to connect with bands and dance troupes."

Although it was his first time acting as a middleman for commercial performances, Bai Ye did not lie. He accepted some requests like Mr. Yuanye's, but he was troubled by the lack of band resources.

"This time, I thought of Hyodo-san. You guys seem like a good fit. You can sing and dance, you're young and energetic, and you're exactly what Mr. Yuanye needs. Especially since you're an all-female band. Who doesn't like girls?"

"Thank you so much!" Michiru Hyodo smiled happily, and Bai Ye's praise was taken to her heart.

"Actually, this is not the most important thing."

After meeting Michiru Hyodo, Bai Ye has decided to take on the commission for the "Gourmet Handbook".

"I'm working on a web version of a food brochure and need someone to be in charge of background music and tuning. I thought of Hyodo-san..."

"I know how to produce music and tune it!" Michiru Hyodo was excited.

She was determined to create a new world in music, but her biggest problem now was the lack of fame and funding. Bai Ye's commission was like a pillow thrown to her when she was sleepy.

"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious..."

Faced with the energetic girl, Bai Ye was also infected by her enthusiasm and his face was full of smiles.

"It will take about a month to complete the preliminary research and preparation for the food manual. My current focus is on 'Flash Girls'."

Michiru Hyodo was a smart girl and immediately understood the hidden meaning in Bai Ye's words.

"Do you want me to join Flash Girl?"

"Yes, although Hyodo mostly practices pop music, "Flash Girls", Mr. Harano's anniversary celebration, and the food guide all need to have otaku elements."

"I think this is enough reason for Hyodo-san to get involved in otaku culture. It's always good to have more skills. Nowadays, young people are interested in combining otaku culture with pop culture."

"What do you think, Hyodou-kun?"

Michiru Hyodo remained silent for a moment.

She is the founder and leader of the band. Although she formed the Ice Tail band out of interest and passion, after persisting, she found that she fell in love with music and she needed to be responsible for the band members who also devoted their time and passion.

Now that the fame and funding sources are settled, the band members do not hate otaku culture but are rather interested in it. Everyone just needs to practice hard, and there will be a steady stream of performance opportunities, and the band will continue.

Still need to hesitate?!

"I feel so lucky. Is this what 'when faced with difficulty, a benefactor' means? I have to go to the shrine to make a wish during the summer festival!"

Bai Ye shrugged and said that the summer festival was in August, which was still a long way off.

"Wish we have a pleasant cooperation?"

Michiru Hyodo grasped Bai Ye's outstretched right hand without hesitation, using both hands.

"It's a pleasure to work with you! If you need any music, please contact me!"

"No need to get so excited, Hyodou-kun."

After holding her hand gently for a few seconds, Bai Ye let go.

Michiru Hyodo's hands are about the same size as Shiyu's, and are equally soft. The difference is that Shiyu has a thin layer of calluses on the base of her right hand and the joints of her middle finger, while Michiru Hyodo's calluses are on the fingertips of her middle three fingers, which is a testament to the profession and hard work of both of them.

First impression is very important. If it is Shiyu who shakes hands with me, I would be doing myself a disservice if I don’t take advantage of the opportunity.

But the other person is Michiru Hyodo, who I just met, so forget it.

Since he was the music producer of "Flash Girls", he naturally had to participate in club activities, so Hyodo Michiru asked:

"How many times a week are club activities held, and when are they held?"

"We have two meetings a week. One is on Wednesday afternoon, and the other was originally on Friday afternoon, but the club room was used by the school that day, so now we have to arrange it flexibly. We might go to someone's home or a family restaurant."

Michiru Hyodo held her cheek with her hand, stirring the ice cola with a straw, her expression slightly distressed.

"However, I don't go to the same school as you guys, so I probably won't be able to participate in the club activities on Wednesday. They're only available on weekends, but sometimes I need to practice guitar on weekends."

Bai Ye didn't care much about this.

After allocating the work, everyone can do their own thing at home. There is no need to get together. Even if there is a need to discuss, we can do it by video chat.

Especially now, Aki Tomoya is angry with Shiyu, and meeting her will only be more awkward.

However, Michiru Hyodo is new to the club, so she needs to develop a sense of belonging and get familiar with everyone, so offline meetings are essential.

what can we do about it?

"By the way, Xiao, I went to Allen's house a few days ago and saw that he looked very unhappy. He kept complaining about something that sounded like something to do with the club. Do you know what happened?"

"What Hyodo Miruchi was talking about should be about 'Love Metronome'."

Bai Ye expressed deep sympathy for Aki Tomoya's experience, and silently said in his heart:

Live it!

How is it possible that you don't value a girl's feelings and think that she will always give you everything for free?!

There is no reward without hard work.

Even though he has a close relationship with Shiyu now and inviting her to work on a food guide is a sure thing, Bai Ye still has to keep public and private affairs separate and must pay the remuneration, and cannot ruin his rare relationship with Shiyu.

"Hyoudou-san and Aki-san are close?"

"Alan and I have known each other since we were kids. We grew up together. It's rare to see him this angry."

Bai Ye scratched his face, expressing his embarrassment.

"This involves other people's secrets, and it's not appropriate to reveal them without their consent. I can only say, let Amami calm down. Maybe he'll figure it out."

Since it involved a secret, Michiru Hyodo couldn't ask any further and could only give up.

"By the way, there's one more thing I need to ask of you, Hyodou-san."

PS: Progress report 24 (6428/10000), this is a normal update.

I haven't eaten meat for a long time, so please give me some tips~ One spicy strip per person, and it's almost enough for an extra chapter. It would be nice if I could have an extra cup of milk tea too!

In addition, please don’t be stingy with your recommendation votes, as they have the magical effect of cooling down the recommendation period.

Chapter 130 Two people, same desire, different approaches

Michiru Hyodo returned to Tomoya Aki's house and opened the door with her key.

She has the key to Tomoya Aki's house because the two mothers are a good friend and often go shopping and eat together.

"Alan, I'm back!"

Michiru Hyodo was in a very good mood. She casually threw her shoes off, changed into slippers and went upstairs.

She pushed open the door of Tomoya Aki's room, but was greeted not with a greeting but with a complaint.

"Miruchi, could you please be quieter as you go upstairs?"

Seeing Aki Tomoya buried in his desk and not even raising his head when greeting her, Hyodo Michiru looked thoughtful.

"It's exactly the same as what Xiao said."

While in the cafe, Bai Ye mentioned that Tomoya Aki was in a bad mood, probably because his creative self-esteem was frustrated. He also asked Michiru Hyodo not tell Tomoya Aki about inviting her to join "Flash Girls".

Michiru Hyodo was quite confused at first, but when she saw Tomoya Aki's current state, she expressed her understanding and admired Bai Ye's foresight.

"If I were invited by Xiao to join the club, it would probably hurt Allen's pride, so it's better not to mention it to him."

Bai Ye also thought of the reason for Michiru Hyodo to join the club.

"Just say you have some free time recently and want to take this opportunity to learn about otaku and anime music. Yo! Bring it up next Wednesday. Xiao said timing is important."

……

On this side, after Bai Ye and Michiru Hyodo separated, they rode their beloved scooters home.

If Michiru Hyodo does as he says and nothing goes wrong, he can bypass Tomoya Aki's sight and establish a private relationship with Michiru Hyodo.

As long as you establish a good relationship with Michiru Hyodo before inviting her to join the "Gourmet Handbook" production team, under the dual influence of interests and emotions, even if Tomoya Aki objects, it will be of no avail.

He spent all his energy helping Michiru Hyodo, and his purpose was naturally not that simple.

Michiru Hyodo is a rare beauty. There really is no gentleman who doesn't like a lively, cute and energetic sports music beauty!

No way! No way!

Through indirect inquiries, he learned that Michiru Hyodo did not have a boyfriend, but she had a good relationship with Tomoya Aki.

After returning home, Bai Ye picked up Xiaomi and rubbed its face.

"Xiao Miya, can I find you another mistress?"

"Meow?" Xiaomi looked confused.

"There will be one more person feeding you from now on. Do you understand?"
