Bai Ye scanned the popular new book area, took out a comic book and handed it to Kato Megumi.
"Take a look at this."
"Paperback?"
The so-called paperback is similar to a comic magazine, which contains comics from multiple different authors. The difference is that paperback does not have a regular and stable release time.
Kato Megumi flipped through the brief introduction that came with the paperback, her brows slightly raised.
There was no comic author in the paperback who had read the comics, and the drawing skills were somewhat inferior to those of first-class comics such as "JUMP", but the subject matter and style were relatively novel and quite eye-catching.
The most special thing is that the paperback is full of short comics, not the serialized comics commonly seen in comic magazines.
"It's quite good, but I don't quite understand the meaning of Bai Yejun introducing it to me. There are very few love comics in it, and they are too short. I can't find much reference value."
"Xiaohui is new to the otaku community, so it's normal that she's not familiar with paperbacks."
Bai Ye turned the comic to the back and pointed at the publisher.
"check it out."
Kato Megumi read out the names as she looked.
"Rouge en rouge, um... weird, is that the name of the company?"
"Xiaohui, you can think of this as a company. Of course, I think it's more appropriate to compare it to a club."
Bai Ye handed the search results to her.
"Rouge en Rouge is a super popular fan club, and they're at the top of the game in terms of talent. The paperback you're holding is the work of the club's fan artists. Of course, the short stories in the paperback are all original, as fan works don't have copyright."
Kato Megumi lowered her head in thought and put forward a bold hypothesis.
"Bai Ye-kun speculates that Iori Hasashima-san is related to rouge en rouge?"
"My little Hui is so smart~" Bai Ye patted her head and praised her, "But it's not a guess, it's confirmed. It was the information found by Eriri that Iori Hasima is inextricably linked to Rouge en Rouge."
"and then?"
"'Flash Girl' is a work in progress. He alone, even with the help of his overseas classmates, can't expect to finish the text and graphics within this year. Not to mention they don't know anything about programming. A game that can't run is not really a game."
Kato Megumi quickly sorted out her thoughts.
"Byakuya-kun, do you think that Iori Hajima-san will give "Flash Girl" to rouge en rouge?"
"I'm not 90% sure, but at least there's a % chance."
Therefore, Bai Ye thought that this piece of information, which was worth 500 yen in Eriri's eyes, was worth the entire harem plan in his eyes.
If Iori Hasejima handed over "Flash Girls" to rouge en rouge, then Izumi Hasejima would most likely leave his club and join rouge en rouge.
In this way, Bodao's voyage to the sea has nothing to do with him anymore, so how can he take her into the harem?
There is also Michiru Hyodo, who is the music producer of "Flash Girls". If she is invited to join rouge en rouge in the name of music production, it will be a big trouble.
"In order to get 'Flash Girl' back, it seems I need to negotiate with the person in charge of rouge en rouge."
Kato Megumi looked down the list following the publisher's name and found the name of the person in charge.
"Akinosaka Akane."
Chapter 620: Like searching for flowers in the fog, in pursuit of a peaceful harem
When Bai Ye received the information from Eriri yesterday, he was first extremely surprised, then frowned, and finally couldn't believe it.
Yes, when Bai Ye saw the last moment that "Hajima Iori has a close relationship with rouge en rouge", his brows were twisted into a ball of hemp rope, so wrinkled that it hurt, and he rubbed his eyebrows for an entire afternoon before they relaxed.
When it comes to it now, Bai Ye’s expression is not much different from what it was then.
The difference is that a soft and smooth hand reaches out, gently and skillfully smoothes out the frown, and gently touches and soothes the soreness that has already spread throughout the face.
"Bai Ye-kun is as hard as a rock. Hmm... Although Bai Ye-kun is a shield guard, it's enough for the shield to be hard. If the body is stiff, he will not be able to walk and will eventually be beaten to death by the monsters."
Are you saying that we should be tough with our enemies and gentle with ourselves?
Bai Ye was about to say something when he saw the passing men and women looking at him and Xiaohui with astonishment. Then he remembered what vicious words Xiaohui had just said.
"Ahem...Xiaohui, please speak carefully, or others will misunderstand you."
"Uh… sorry, Byakuya-kun's body is much softer in comparison."
white night"……"
Watching the female passerby leave with a look of horror and the male passerby with an expression of "you know what I mean", Bai Ye just felt a [beep] of Eriri.
My image, my image!!
This is a naturally dark-hearted girl.
Bai Ye hurriedly took Kato Megumi to another place and stopped only after making sure that they were not discovered by passers-by.
"I realized that Xiaohui wanted to make me socially dead, and then keep me, who had lost faith in the world, in captivity in the house."
Bai Ye's outrageous remarks still failed to shake Kato Megumi's expression.
"Although I have successfully implemented what Bai Yejun called the captive exclusive line in galgame, it has not been successful in reality."
"Wait—you mean, Hui, you did this in real life (#?Д?)? Don't play every gal game out there. Isn't School's Day enough for you anymore?! Please remember what it feels like to be human!"
"I can't go back. I've been transformed from the inside out by Bai Yejun."
"Don't say anything so misleading! What did I use to transform it, milk?"
It is not meaningless to complain about each other's evil intentions. At least I feel much better now.
Bai Ye knew that Xiaohui did this on purpose. From the reflection on the black screen of his phone, he could see that his expression had just become serious, as if he was emitting an aura that kept strangers away.
"Bai Ye-kun, do you think that Iori Hatajima is ambitious?" Kato Megumi suddenly continued the previous topic, and her eyes showed the light that only appeared when talking about serious matters.
"Everyone has ambition." Bai Ye let out a long sigh and put aside his playful mood.
Today he just wanted to make the matter of "Hajima Iori and rouge en rouge" known to Xiaohui, and he didn't want to delve into it and interfere with his date with Xiaohui.
But now, Xiaohui took the initiative to bring up the topic, so Bai Ye doesn’t care anymore.
However, it is still necessary to create a perfect dating atmosphere.
"Xiaohui, let's buy some comics and go to the second floor to read and chat."
"Uh-huh."
The two of them picked out a few newly released comic magazines, but their eyes were focused on the paperback editions published by rouge en rouge.
……
"Xiao Hui, your lemon tea."
"well, thanks."
There is a book bar on the second floor of Ma Zhigu, which is available to customers who can't wait to try new things. It is also a good date place for otaku couples, but it is unknown how many otaku can meet their destined other half.
Bai Ye found a seat in a corner, where he could enjoy the hustle and bustle of traffic outside the window and also be prepared for Xiaohui to suddenly say something shocking.
The autumn sunshine brought a warm and comfortable feeling to his body. Bai Ye moved his chair closer to Xiaohui. The comfort of the touch of skin was even warmer than basking in the sun.
"Which one do you want to know first, Xiaohui?"
"Just follow Bai Yejun's ideas."
On the way to the second floor, Bai Ye was thinking about how to proceed with the topic.
According to his thinking, problems are usually divided into 3W, namely what, why, and how.
"First, I want to know what Iori Hasima's purpose is." Bai Ye took a sip of his iced cola, the coolness and bubbles stimulating his nerves. "At first, we all thought Iori Hasima wanted to use 'Flash Girls' to win Bingtang's favor, but after learning about the existence of Rouge en Rouge, I don't think Bingtang was the only reason."
As for Hasima going to sea, Bai Ye believes that Hasima Iori has not yet realized that there is something unusual about his relationship with his sister.
"Is there any evidence?" Kato Megumi said.
"No." Bai Ye pointed to his head. "It's intuition, the intuition of a dreamer... no, an ambitious person. Iori Hasima is not someone who is content with being ordinary. His network of relationships shows that."
He confirmed with Hashima Chukai that Hashima Iori's network of relationships was built by him personally.
"I believe in Bai Yejun's intuition." Kato Megumi said without thinking.
"Why?" Bai Ye was very interested.
"Since I met Byakuya-kun, he's received confessions from many girls, but he rejected them all. However, after joining the club, he immediately changed his ways and pursued Kasumigaoka-senpai and Sawamura-kun. He proved himself right in the end, doesn't that just prove that Byakuya-kun's intuition is spot on?"
white night"……"
"Although Xiaohui's words make sense, is it necessary to use such a dangerous example?" Bai Ye looked pained.
"It's enough to be relevant. It's not good to pay too much attention to details."
For this Xiaohui, switching back and forth between being sinister, three-no, serious, and gentle is as easy as eating and drinking water.
"The information is insufficient." Bai Ye stretched. "Without knowing Iori Hasima's motives, it's difficult to infer her reasons and actions. Right now, Izumi-san's situation is unclear, and there's no guarantee we'll get accurate information from her."
At this time, Kato Megumi lifted her hair by her ears, her light yellow eyes were as calm as water, and her every move seemed more capable against the backdrop of the single ponytail.
"If you're asking about Chuhai, I'll also..."
Before she could finish her words, a big hand grabbed her hand with an irresistible momentum. The few strands of hair that had just been tucked behind her ears fluttered in the wind, and then the neat single ponytail suffered the same treatment, floating down and turning into long hair draped over her shoulders.
"Bai Ye-kun?"
With her hair brushing across her face, Kato Megumi's delicate face lost some of its efficiency, replaced by softness and surprise, and the refinement in her light yellow eyes also dissipated.
It's like a female warrior standing with a sword transforming into an elegant and gentle housewife wearing an apron.
Corresponding to this was Bai Ye's unyielding gaze.
"Just leave this matter to me."
Kato Megumi understood that if Bai Ye was determined, it would be difficult to get him to make concessions.
"why?"
Bai Ye smiled and kept stroking her hair.
"Last time, you stole the spotlight from the bunny girl incident, making me look like a fool. This time, it's my turn to make an appearance."
Chapter 621 Kato Megumi is angry...
Kato Megumi's eyelashes trembled slightly, and her slender fingers combed the single ponytail that Bai Ye had removed. Although the light twisting of the hair ends was gentle and beautiful, it still couldn't hide her slightly puffed up face.
"My hair is all messed up."
Bai Ye was feeling proud of his high spirits, but when he saw Kato Megumi fixing her hair and her tone gradually becoming lighter, he realized that his actions were too abrupt.
When Kato Megumi opened her bag, Bai Ye took the lead in helping her take out a small mirror, with a flattering smile on his lips.
"Let me help Xiaohui comb her hair. I know a bit about combing hair."
Kato Megumi spread out her hands, her face expressionless, her pale yellow eyes were stained dark, and black energy could be vaguely seen surging in them.
Different from the cute yet mouthless character in the "Three No Attributes" character, this moment he is truly expressionless, his eyes are like looking at a dead person, and the surging black air seems to be able to pull people into the abyss.
Seeing that Bai Ye didn't respond, she pointed at the chair.
"Sit down."
Bai Ye subconsciously sat upright, and while he was stunned, the small mirror had been taken away by Kato Megumi.
After waiting for a few seconds without receiving Xiaohui's response, he kept sitting upright and leaned slightly to the side, observing carefully:
"Is Xiaohui angry?"
"No."
Even a fool would understand that Kato Megumi was angry.
The angrier Shiyu gets, the brighter she smiles; the angrier Eriri gets, the more she likes to touch you; and the angrier Kato Megumi gets, the less talkative she becomes. When she opens her mouth, she will crush you into dust with just a few words and an indifferent look.
Bai Ye is not a fool. He did the same thing to Xiaohui yesterday, but nothing happened. Now he understood why Xiaohui suddenly changed her expression after a little thought.
"Xiao Hui."
Bai Ye moved his body and looked at Xiaohui who was carefully grooming her bangs. He kept sitting upright and approached her. His big hand slowly and firmly came to her head, gently stroking her soft and well-cared-for hair.
"I don't mean to look down on Xiaohui. Xiaohui is so smart that she must be able to read my true thoughts, right?"
Kato Megumi took a glance, closed her eyes and closed the small mirror.
"If I'm smart, does Bai Yejun think it's possible to take me into his harem?"
"Uh……"
