"Since Kato-san agreed to let you solo the strategy, I won't be so tactless as to refuse your offer. Instead, I'm curious about how a shield guard like you, who's supposed to be in charge of defense, will actually deal damage."

Chapter 633 Let’s cut the cake together!
A long-awaited reunion with Icy tail.
According to the idea when I first signed the agent contract with Icy tail, I would meet with Icy tail at least once a week, and the meeting time was usually scheduled on Thursdays, which corresponded to the club gathering the day before.
However, the second half of the summer vacation was too busy. He was not available when Icy tail was training, and Icy tail was working when he was free. Therefore, there were fewer opportunities to meet offline, and he could only turn to making his presence felt in the chat group.
This may also be one of the reasons why Iori Hatima took advantage of the situation.
Byakuya and Hyodo Michiru came to the lounge.
The team members had already opened the packaging and divided the plates and forks. When they saw them, they took the initiative to hand over the plastic knife.
"Hurry up! We're just waiting for Mr. Agent and Michiru!"
Bai Ye took the knife and said half-jokingly:
"Aren't you guys going to cut the cake first? Why are you waiting for me to do the hard labor?"
"If you count coolies, Michiru is one of them."
Himekawa Tokino quickly rushed behind the two of them, and pushed them forward with a smile. For some reason, she felt as if she was a matchmaker pushing the newlyweds into the bridal chamber.
"Mr. Agent and Michiru cut together~"
"What do you want to do?" Michiru expressed Bai Ye's thoughts.
"Good relationship, good relationship, you two will be together forever, and Icy tail will prosper!"
"Is there still such a saying?"
"Yes! With lots of friends, good relationships, and a wide network of connections, Icy Tail is going to prosper~"
Bai Ye was half-pushed and half-pushed to the table, but he was not completely immersed in the atmosphere created by Icy Tail. He still had the leisure to observe the expressions of others.
Mizuhara Eika and Morioka Aiko were a bit concerned and embarrassed by Himekawa Tokino's actions, but they didn't seem to want to stop her...
Bai Ye knew very well that he and these three girls were entangled in interests.
Maybe they will become good friends in the future, but he doesn't want to, doesn't know how, and knows very well that it is impossible to reach the same level of feelings as Shiyu and the others.
"It's the manager's job to meet the players' expectations, and this is also a good opportunity to get closer to Bingtang."
Bai Ye raised the plastic dinner knife and handed it towards Michiru Hyodo while curling up the corner of his mouth.
"Come on, rock sugar."
"Okay~"
Michiru Hyodo's tone was very open-minded, but from her slightly flushed face it was clear that she understood the intentions of her teammates.
The two of them worked together to divide the fruit cake into many small portions, and after that they didn't need to worry about who wanted more cream or more fruit.
"This is Mr. Agent's, and next to it is Michiru's. Both have strawberries."
“No need to explain it specifically.”
After getting his own piece of cake, Bai Ye found a place to sit down, of course next to Bingtang.
The touch of the girl's soft hands still lingers in the palm of my hand. Although the fruit cream cake is delicious, it cannot compare to the spiritual comfort brought by the touch of skin.
"Icy tail's relationship is so good..." Bai Ye sighed.
"After all, it's rare to find someone who shares your interests." Hyodo Michiru sighed sincerely. "I've heard others say that meeting someone in such a vast sea of people is a one in ten thousand chance, becoming friends is another one in ten thousand, and having a friend who shares your interests is another one in ten thousand. So, I'm really lucky."
"The result is only one in a billion. There are only 70 billion people on Earth." Bai Ye shrugged.
There is no point in delving into the data. At least he received Michiru Hyodo's thoughts and feelings.
"Agent, agent." Himekawa Tokino approached and said.
Bai Ye keenly noticed that she looked like she wanted to say something.
Perhaps it has something to do with the "serious business" that Michiru Hyodo mentioned.
Whether it is true or false, it is definitely a good idea to take the initiative.
"How's practice going lately? I'm really looking forward to your new song. You're planning to perform it at the inter-school cultural performance, right?"
Himekawa Tokino paused, then nodded, a hint of discomfort at being interrupted flashing across his face, but he didn't care too much.
"Practice is going well, and I'm actively working on new songs."
"We need to release the new song quickly. We can't debut it at the inter-school art performance. It would be too dangerous if there was no room for improvement. Before that, I want you to at least perform it commercially to see how people respond. If you encounter difficulties in the creation, I can introduce professionals in this field to guide you."
Bai Ye doesn’t have any professionals who can provide music guidance at the moment, but he has connections, so it shouldn’t be difficult to find one.
He had another intention in saying this. When he met Akane Benizaka tomorrow, he could ask Akane Benizaka for help from a music expert.
Whether or not he could get help was not the point. The point was that he had to tell Akane Benizaka that he was the person in charge of Icy Tail, and no one else could easily interfere in the affairs of Icy Tail.
"Hmm..." Himekawa Tokina murmured for a few seconds.
She instinctively felt that there was something else behind Bai Ye's words, but she couldn't read it clearly, so she had to nod in agreement with the superficial meaning.
"Creation is quite difficult, but I don't need any special guidance for now. But please, Mr. Agent, be prepared, okay?"
Mizuhara Eika and Morioka Aiko followed suit.
"No problem, as long as you need it."
As long as it doesn't threaten the agent's identity, Bai Ye is willing to help these girls who are striving for their interests and dreams.
"Is there anything else? I noticed that Himekawa-san seemed to have something to say to me at first."
Himekawa Tokino didn't know whether she should say it or not, but when she thought about the benefits for Icy Tail, she didn't hesitate any longer.
"I have resources here. If any friends want to help, can they use them?"
"Of course." Bai Ye gave a sweet date first.
Himekawa Tokino's eyes lit up.
"But they all have to be carefully selected. This is my agent's job. Not all jobs have to be accepted."
Seeing Himekawa Tokino's expression suddenly change, Bai Ye understood that Hatima Iori must be involved and was trying to interfere in Icy Tail's affairs through Himekawa Tokino.
But we can't blame Himekawa Tokino for this, because her real intention is not clear at the moment.
If it is for personal gain, you can whip her later.
If it was purely for Icy Tail, blaming her would be too much of a blow to her, and it would also affect her image in Icy Tail and give Iori Hatima an opportunity to take advantage of her.
So, Bai Ye continued to explain, he wanted everyone to be convinced.
"Look at those big stars. Job offers line up from Tokyo to Hokkaido, but they don't just accept them. First, they'd be exhausted, and second, they don't know what others are thinking. What if it's a bad offer? Their hard-earned reputation would be ruined. Then they wouldn't even have time to cry."
Bai Ye sighed, looking serious.
He wasn't pretending, because he had encountered a lot of deception in the business world.
"Yes." Michiru Hyodo spoke up to help.
"I know Xiaoshi really wants to help, but it's better for Aye to review commercial performances, announcements, and work. If there's a trap in the contract, or someone has bad intentions, Icy will be in big trouble. Xiaoshi can't be soft-hearted."
"Earning fame and money is important, but avoiding risks is equally important. Only by moving forward in tandem can Icy Tail go further." Bai Ye assisted and echoed the sentiment.
Thinking of the scene of Icy tail being shattered into pieces, Himekawa Tokino's heart trembled, and he nodded in agreement with Bai Ye's words.
Compared to others, she is more willing to believe Bai Ye who has already achieved credit for Icy tail.
Chapter 634: Do you like married woman Kato Megumi to tie your tie?
After having afternoon tea and watching Icy Tail practice, Byakuya and Hyodo Michi stayed at the front desk to pay for the piano room rental.
Michiru Hyodo took out her wallet and handed over the bill with trembling hands, as if she was frozen in the Antarctic. Her brows were twisted into a knot, and her usual generosity and ease were completely gone.
“It hurts every time I pay…”
Bai Ye, who was standing aside, couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"If you don't manage a household, you won't know how expensive food and fuel are. How much has the rent cost so far?"
"One hour is 1500 yen, three hours is 4500 yen... How many times have we rented it?" Hyodo Michiru counted on her fingers, finally coming up with a heartbreaking answer. "All in all... probably 10 times. 5 yen, enough to buy a new guitar..."
"5, that's quite a lot..."
5 yuan is nothing to Bai Ye, but it is a lot of money for Icy Tail who relies on part-time jobs to support club activities, and it is an astronomical figure for ordinary high school students.
"What about the income from the last commercial performance?"
"It's all used to upgrade equipment." Michiru Hyodo raised the loudspeaker in her hand.
"You are willing to do this."
"When you buy equipment, it's yours, but when you rent a practice room, it's always someone else's. They're two completely different experiences." Hyodo Michiru scratched her hair, her bright purple eyes tinged with envy and jealousy. "When I save enough money one day, I'll decorate a practice room of my own. I'll rent it out when I'm not using it, and then I can just sit back and act like a rich person."
Bai Ye tidied up her long hair.
"Then I wish Bingtang that your dream will come true one day~"
Bai Ye didn't plan to tell them the address of the piano room he had found for Icy Tail right now, but chose to keep it as a trump card.
Adding icing on the cake is far less touching than helping someone in need.
Even if it seems despicable, so what?
There are examples of people who win by being straightforward in love, but they are all in novels and comics.
As long as he can win the heart of Hyodo Michiru, Bai Ye doesn't mind this kind of trick.
"Let's go, the team members are waiting outside."
"Yeah." Michiru Hyodo took a few steps, then suddenly stopped and tugged at Bai Ye's sleeve.
"Is something wrong, Bingtang?"
Hyodo Michiru suddenly came closer, her eyes filled with gratitude, and whispered softly in her ear:
"Thank you, Ah Ye. It's really hard for me to talk about the things that happened when I was little."
"Just a little thing."
Bai Ye's tone was nonchalant, but his expression couldn't hide his pride, and there was a hint of gentlemanly surprise at the corner of his mouth.
He was more concerned about something else.
Just now, when Bingtang finished speaking in his ear, there seemed to be a kissing sound, and a touch as warm and smooth as jade, just like biting into the softest marshmallow.
This shouldn't be an accidental touch of Bingtang's cherry lips, right?
"Bingtang, let's go play together sometime, just the two of us."
"Okay~"
. . . . . .
Friday after school.
Bai Ye was walking down the stairs from the school, his steps were so hurried that they almost looked like the "wheel feet" in the comics. The huge teaching building was extremely quiet, and only his footsteps were particularly clear.
"I actually forgot that today was my turn on duty. It took me quite a while. Luckily, I should have enough time to get home and change into my scooter."
dong dong——
Bai Ye looked at the lunch box where the chopsticks in his hand were colliding with each other, making a noise.
"Xiao Hui should be home by now, so I'll give it back to her tomorrow. Everyone will probably come to my house tomorrow."
With this thought in mind, Bai Ye rode his bicycle and left the school at a high speed, leaving no trace behind.
But when he passed the street corner where Xiaohui often waited for him after school, he subconsciously turned his head to look.
He saw a figure suddenly rushing out from the corner of the street, so fast that it seemed as if it was wrapped in a layer of black gauze, just like the omnipresent Ezio in Assassin's Creed. When you saw the black clothes, the bright red life was also gone.
Then, the back of the bicycle sank.
The scene that happened in milliseconds made Bai Ye involuntarily brake, and then he felt a wonderful touch of softness on his back, and let out a cry.
"Bai Ye-kun, it would be dangerous to brake suddenly on the road."
"My Xiaohui..." Bai Ye was stunned and didn't know what to say for a moment. The idea of complaining came like a flood.
