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

Page 369

Of course Bai Ye had no problem with that. He turned down the benefits that were in his mouth this afternoon and came to Icy tail. Naturally, he would not stop until he got a good result.

Several people walked towards the reserved piano room.

Bai Ye walked at the end, looking at everyone's backs and fell into thought. Through the conversation just now outside the piano room, he had a new understanding of Icy Tail's current situation.

Take Himekawa Tokino as an example. She is an extrovert and has become friends with Iori Hatima. She is willing to help Byakuya and is also accepting Iori Hatima's kindness.

I believe that Morioka Aiko and Mizuhara Eika also have similar ideas.

"It seems that Iori Hasima's penetration of Icy Tail is deeper than I thought..."

Bai Ye had no intention of blaming the three people. As the saying goes, you get what you sow. Over the past half month, he had spent less time on Icy Tail than Iori Hasima, so naturally, he gained less.

It is better to say that the fact that Himekawa Tokino was willing to interrupt the conversation between Hasima Iori and Hyodo Michiru for himself has already made Bai Ye very satisfied, which shows that Icy Tail's overall focus is still on himself.

"Bingtang's situation is different from everyone else's. She spends more time with the members of Icy Tail and is more susceptible to their subtle influence."

"Himekawa Tokino and the others are Icy Tail's biggest stakeholders. By accepting Hasima Iori's concert disc, does that mean they'll do anything that benefits Icy Tail?"

"If possible, I don't want Icy Tail to become a purely profit-seeking third party. I need to find a way..."

If you want to win over a girl, you must first win over her best friend.

Today, Bai Ye finally experienced the weight of this sentence.

Icy tail is the biggest battlefield between him and Iori Hasima.

Reward progress report: 69 (8987/10000), 3 updates are owed, this is a normal update.

Thanks to [Dian Niang I Hate You] for the 3 spicy strips.

Things are finally coming to an end at the end of the year, and I have time to sit down and write. Updates will return to normal in the future and will not be interrupted every few days.

Chapter 541: Facing a love rival? No need to be polite, take action!

Bai Ye walked into the piano room which he seldom visited.

The layout of the piano room is the same as before, with the drum set placed in the center of the stage, and two speakers on the left and right like door gods.

However, Bai Ye still noticed some differences.

There was a machine with many buttons on the stage, which should be a newly purchased mixing console. Three stools were placed aside under the stage, and only one stool was facing the center of the stage.

"The new mixing console is pretty good."

"Yeah!" Hyodo Michiru held the back of her head with her hands, a proud look on her face. "Everyone worked hard over the summer and finally saved enough money. This is the latest brand. Whether we can get a good ranking in the inter-school art performance depends on it!"

Bai Ye nodded.

One of the reasons why his relationship with Hyodo Michiru has become so lukewarm is that Misato, the teacher in charge of the inter-school art performances, does not allow Icy tail to have a relationship.

So a problem arises.

Bai Ye secretly glanced at Iori Hatashima, who was handing a concert disc to Tokino Himekawa and chatting with him, and mentally gave the other person's communication skills a "MAX".

If Iori Hasima's goal is to win the heart of Michiru Hyodo, how should he handle the issue of the inter-school art performance?

"I can't figure it out for now, but now isn't the time to think about it."

Bai Ye clapped his hands, instantly attracting the attention of everyone present.

He also felt like competing. Icy tail was originally his little world, but now that someone else had purposefully intruded upon it, he felt somewhat unhappy.

"I heard you guys composed a new song during your seaside camp? Let me hear it."

"it is good!"

Hearing that it was the agent giving the order, the members of Icy tail responded one after another.

Tokino Himekawa put down the concert disc, Aiko Morioka sat in front of the drum set, and Eika Mizuhara picked up the bass, all preparing for the performance.

Michiru Hyodo also came on stage, plucking the pick and making teasing remarks to the rhythm of the music.

"Wow, Ah Ye suddenly acts like a real agent!"

"Of course~" Bai Ye raised his brows, a hint of pride in his eyes, "I came here today to fulfill my responsibilities as an agent. Please don't let me go without sending out the gifts I worked so hard to prepare."

"Ooh!"

Hearing that there was a reward, Icy Tail's enthusiasm was instantly ignited, and the atmosphere in the piano room was quickly filled with enthusiasm for playing.

Bai Ye took out a dusty stool, brushed off the dust on it, placed it next to the only stool facing the center of the stage, and smiled at Iori Hasima who had just sat down.

"Hajima Iori-san, do you mind if I sit down?"

"It's okay, it's okay. This is the best spot."

Asking was just a courtesy. Even if Iori Hatima showed reluctance, Bai Ye would still sit here. It would be better to say that he would rather see the other party show a reluctant expression so that he could make trouble.

Although he is the host and Iori Hatima is the guest here, there is no need to be polite to a guest who comes with bad intentions.

The performance on the stage begins, and a new round of competition begins off the stage.

"Hajima Iori-san is also interested in music?"

Iori Hatashima pondered for a few seconds, looking at the stage without looking at Bai Ye.

"I'm more or less interested. At least I quite like pop songs and otaku songs."

"Is this a way to show I have a clear conscience?" Bai Ye complained in his heart.

Iori Hasima's words may seem subtle, but Icy Tail's main music is pop songs and otaku songs, so the answer is obvious, as if it were written on their forehead.

Bai Ye didn't want to be so perfunctory. He thought that Iori Hatajima was usually used to drinking and chatting with others. Although his strength was to find breakthroughs through maneuvering, practicing Tai Chi at the moment was too time-consuming and not very effective.

"Thank you, Hasima Iori-san, for bringing Icy Tail the concert disc. I remember how rare it is to find a genuine original soundtrack on this disc. I want to thank you on behalf of Icy Tail, and I'm thinking if it would be better to return the money to you."

"No, no," Iori said skillfully, his polite words flowing freely. "It's just a little support for Icy Tail. Senior Xiao is too polite. Besides, it's not just Hyodo-san. I'm also happy to discuss music with Himekawa-san and the others."

Bai Ye pursed his lips in his heart. It was obvious that Iori Hasima was using Himekawa Tokino as a shield.

Unfortunately, he is Icy tail's agent, and he has one more trump card called "righteousness" than Iori Hasima. Whether he treats people strictly or not depends on his decision.

Strike when it’s time to strike, and punch hard when it’s time to punch hard!

Bai Ye narrowed his eyes, and a hint of calculation appeared in his smile.

"If Iori Hasima-san only wants to be a fan of Icy Tail, then I really shouldn't have dampened your enthusiasm."

Iori Hatama's calm expression froze, and the opponent's straight ball attack made him a little at a loss.

But he quickly calmed down, as he had encountered such scenes before.

"Senior Xiao seems to be hostile to me?"

"Yes, and it's very big." Bai Ye admitted without hesitation, his eyes revealing a hint of arrogance that was not appropriate for his age.

The next second, he smiled again.

"If your target isn't the rock sugar, I'll apologize to you immediately, even if it means getting up in public. Um...if your target is Morioka Aiko, please consider it, because she already has a boyfriend."

Iori Hashima didn't expect that the other party would leave no room for maneuver and even bring out the "Dogeza".

Want to hide it temporarily?

He didn't know the benefits of not hiding it for the time being, but if he chose to hide it, he believed that Bai Ye would immediately "strike the snake while it's still under attack" and would never give him the chance to step on Icy's tail again.

There is only a moment to think, hesitation is the beginning of falling into a disadvantage, he must act quickly.

"Senior Xiao...don't you think you're a bit overbearing, making decisions for everyone without authorization?"

"Hehe——" Bai Ye chuckled twice, holding his forehead and shaking his head.

"Don't forget, I'm Icy Tail's agent. You're familiar with the industry and know the power and tactics other agents possess. Just because we're the same age and we're classmates, do you dare look down on me?"

Iori Hatajima took a deep breath. The other party's unreasonable attack made him feel a little overwhelmed, and his trick of changing the subject was no longer effective.

Indeed, whether an artist can have a romantic relationship is actually just a matter of a word from the agent, and it is clearly written in the contract.

Bai Ye continued to output, and he would not allow anyone to offend his status and dignity in Icy Tail!

"I'll tell you the truth, the contract I signed with Icy Tail was very liberal, more liberal than you can imagine. As long as they collectively agree, they can unilaterally resolve the contract without having to pay any compensation. Of course, there's no clause prohibiting romantic relationships."

"If you want to ask me why I'm doing something that's obviously a losing business, I can tell you."

“This is my confidence!”

Chapter 542: Greed is the epitaph of the incompetent, so the strong...

Bai Ye was not without worries.

Iori Hajima is Isekai Hajima's older brother, and this is the biggest variable.

He is not a wise god, and it is impossible for him to predict the future without a full understanding of Iori Hatima. Even if he has a full understanding, it is impossible to be accurate because "human beings" themselves have immeasurable changes and possibilities.

Therefore, facing the imminent threat, the best way Bai Ye could think of was to put pressure on Iori Hatima with a high profile, forcing him to reveal his flaws, or even retreat when he knew the difficulty.

As for sailing to Bo Island...

Bai Ye can only hope that after several baptisms of reason and desire, she will have a certain degree of independent thinking and will not go with the flow under the influence of her brother and Aki Tomoya.

……

Iori Hasima was dissatisfied, especially when he heard Bai Ye say with a confident smile that Icy tail's agent contract had almost no binding force, he clearly felt a surge of frustration in his heart.

Not vomiting, not happy.

It's not like he hasn't encountered arrogant people before, but those people only say arrogant words for fun, without the ability or courage to put them into practice.

"It seems that Senior Xiao has his reasons for being domineering, but aren't you worried about biting off more than you can chew? Aren't you worried even a little bit?"

Iori Hatajima made a thin line with his fingers, and through the gap between his fingers Bai Ye could see his eyes flickering.

Threaten yourself with anxiety about gains and losses?

Bai Ye raised his eyebrows, but felt disdain in his heart.

If it were in the past, he might have been frightened for a moment, but after Kato Megumi's day and night "training", he had a different view on the fear of gains and losses.

Although I have not reached the state of "form is emptiness, emptiness is form", my mentality has indeed become much more open.

It's okay to daydream about becoming the richest man in the world, but he really has the ability and plan to bring Shiyu, Eriri, Xiaohui, Bingtang, and Chuhai into his harem, and he will never doubt himself because of a few words from others.

"Am I greedy?"

Bai Ye pushed aside his bangs, making sure the other person could see his eyes clearly.

"A child asking their parents for 100 yuan to buy a drink is considered spoiled, but asking for 10 yuan for a gift is considered greedy and ignorant. An adult spending 10 yuan on a figurine is fine, but recklessly spending 100 yuan is considered overreaching. A businessman spending 100 yuan is just a small expense, but spending 1000 yuan on a fake item—can you understand the deeper meaning behind this?"

There was disdain in Bai Ye's smile. In his opinion, Iori Hatama was indeed outstanding among his peers, and his ability to please everyone was even better than his, but he was far behind him in terms of experience.

Money may not allow you to have a harmonious harem, but it is true that the extent to which your horizons are broadened is directly proportional to the amount of money you have.

Iori Hatajima understood that Bai Ye was not going to be polite to him.

"I really don't understand what Senior Xiao is doing. He clearly has Kasumigaoka Utaha, but he still flirts with other women, even Kato Megumi. I really don't know why that proud Kasumigaoka Utaha is willing to bow her head. Perhaps I really don't understand the world of the rich."

Bai Ye's eyes darkened, he heard the sarcasm in Iori Hatama's words about borrowing money.

The harem is his Achilles' heel, and he won't allow anyone to speak nonsense!

"Perhaps you believed Aki's one-sided story about Xiaohui, and that's not your fault. But, can you say you had nothing to do with Shiyu's 'bunny girl incident'?!"

Iori Hatajima shrugged, showing deep affection and indifference.

"I didn't do the 'bunny girl incident'. It won't help if Senior Xiao gets angry at me."

"You benefited from it, didn't you?"

"So many people benefited from this. The forum trolls had a blast, Kasumigaoka Utaha became famous, and even bunny girl fans had a feast for their eyes. I can't say who is the real driving force behind this."

"Hajima Iori-san is one of the most direct beneficiaries. It's fine if others can't find him because of the internet, but you just happened to be standing right in front of me."

Bai Ye continued to be shameless. He had no psychological pressure on Nanibajima Iori, even though the other party might become his future brother-in-law.

As for the bunny girl incident, Bai Ye asked himself honestly that it didn't matter who was behind it.

The important thing is that the "bunny girl incident" will be resolved perfectly, and Shiyu will benefit a lot from it. He found an opportunity to eat Kato Megumi, and his mentality was further improved.

The performance on the stage continued, and the Icy Tail members were immersed in the music, unaware of the sparks that were about to fly from the audience, which was also the reason why the two of them did not show their joy.

Bai Ye smiled and applauded the girls' wonderful performances. At the same time, under the cover of the applause, he spoke to Iori Hasima with a sinister threat that was contrary to the enthusiastic atmosphere on the stage.

"I don't care what you and Aki did behind the 'bunny girl incident'. If you feel guilty about it, please tell Aki that Hui is mine."

"Besides, Bingtang is my girlfriend."

"Greed is the epitaph of incompetence. Only the strong deserve to have more. The rock sugar is mine and no one can change it. You are not qualified to make rock sugar in front of me."
