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

Page 425

The bathroom door was quietly opened a crack, and a pair of blue eyes blinked through the crack.

There is no one outside the door.

The door was quietly closed again, and the deep blue eyes revealed an expression of relief or dissatisfaction that was unclear.

Dapa——

Amidst the smoke, a girl with loose blonde hair walked lightly and quietly came behind Bai Ye, who was sitting at the desk immersed in the world of comics.

Ga-ao——!

Ying Lili bared her teeth and claws, trying to take the opportunity to scare Bai Ye, but the latter suddenly tilted his head back, with a puzzled look on his face as if he was looking at Jesus.

"Eri, are you finally not satisfied with being a mascot anymore? Are you ready to transform into Godzilla and kill the master to take his place?"

"You're such a disgusting bastard, you poor bastard."

The conspiracy failed, and Eriri pulled over a chair with little interest.

Seeing this, Bai Ye patted his thigh.

Ying Lili gritted her teeth.

"Don't try to trick me again. You can't help yourself, can you? You're just like the male protagonist in an 18X galgame."

Bai Ye was speechless.

"Although I'm ready for CD, Eriri, you're obviously not. Next time, I'm going to go to bed without drying your hair. Aren't you afraid of getting a headache?"

"Your inner thoughts are exposed, your moral integrity! Where's your moral integrity? Damn it! (ノ○ Д ○)ノ"

Bai Ye turned his head to look at the books on the wall of bookshelves, then looked back at her.

"Who of us lost our moral integrity first?"

Eriri folded her arms, full of pride.

"That was just for reference... Yeah! It was for reference, and also for appreciation! How can a cartoonist reading a book be considered throwing away moral integrity?"

“Hahahaha (?ω?)hiahiahia~~”

The room was filled with laughter and joy, with only Eriri remaining, looking depressed.

"Laugh, laugh, laugh! What's so funny? Why don't you blow dry my hair? I'm so sleepy. You bastard, sleep on the floor tonight and don't get on the bed. Otherwise, don't blame me for kicking you against the wall!"

……

While drying her hair, Eriri picked up the comic book that Bai Ye had just been reading.

"Is this the paperback edition published by Rouge en Rouge?"

"Hmm~" Bai Ye buried his head in the golden hair and nodded as he did so.

Ying Lili responded with a look of contempt. She had no way to deal with Bai Ye's hair control attribute.

"Speak up, stop humming like a pig. Don't you want to be a human anymore?"

"If you admit that you are a cabbage, Eriri..."

Yinglili "!!!"

Seeing that she was showing signs of going berserk again, Bai Ye raised his hands in surrender first.

It's not that he doesn't want to play around, but if he continues to play around, the time for "business" will be interrupted, and he doesn't want to be disturbed.

"Alright, alright, I'll give in for now. Let's talk about the rouge en rouge paperback first. What do you think, Eriri?"

Eriri pursed her lips, put aside her desire to play around, and opened the paperback in her hand.

"This is the work of rouge en rouge. The painting skills seem okay, but the style and subject matter are a bit strange."

Hearing her tone, Bai Ye poked his head out from her shoulder and asked:

"Eri, you haven't seen this before?"

"no."

"Then how did you come up with the idea that there was a connection between Iori Hasima and rouge en rouge?"

"I didn't finish what I was saying. I haven't read any of their published paperbacks before, but I've read quite a few of their fan works."

Bai Ye nodded, waiting for her explanation.

"Rouge en Rouge is a top-notch doujinshi club, Bai Ye, you know that, right?"

"While you were showering, I used your computer to search online for information on Rouge en Rouge, but there wasn't much. Most of the information was about him being popular at a certain comic convention, but there wasn't any information on any of the relevant individuals."

"You're using my computer again without permission..." Eriri glanced sideways.

She had a lot of secret study materials in her computer, but when she thought about her current relationship with Bai Ye, she no longer had the energy to be stubborn.

"After all, it's a fan club, not a company. It's normal that you can't find any personal information online. By the way, Bai Ye, do you understand the meaning of 'fan club'?"

"Aren't they all clubs, just like our Food Handbook?"

"It's not like that, okay..."

Eriri put down the comic book and began to explain to him.

"Generally speaking, a club is a small group of people with similar interests formed for the purpose of gathering and communicating. However, there are stable clubs and mobile clubs. Bai Ye, yours is undoubtedly a stable club."

"Hmm~"

Of course, the harem society should focus on stability.

"From what you said, Eriri, rouge en rouge is a mobile club?"

"I'd say a significant number of people in the fan club are aspiring novelists and manga artists who participate in club activities as assistants. These people are relatively mobile, so they rotate between my mom's club and the rouge en rouge club to help and learn. I've also had the experience of having them handle the post-production work for my work at comic conventions."

"Because my mother's club and rouge en rouge are among the best high-quality doujinshi clubs in the industry, I think if Iori Hasima wants to complete Flash Girls, rouge en rouge is probably the only option."

"Is that so..." Bai Ye nodded.

"But." Eriri changed the subject and her expression became serious.

"There's one big difference between my mom's club and rouge en rouge..."

Chapter 625: A nighttime chat with Eriri, and then...

Is there a big difference between Sawamura Auntie Club and rouge en rouge?

Bai Ye was a little surprised to see the cheerful Eriri become serious for a rare time, and he began to think about the difference between the two.

I heard from my aunt that the reason the club didn't participate in the summer comic convention this time was that some members went to help out in another famous club. According to Eriri now, they should have gone to rouge en rouge.

"It sounds like the two clubs have a pretty good relationship, otherwise they wouldn't easily let members help out in the other club. What's the difference?"

"That's the difference." Eriri sighed.

"Because Mom's club is more casual and hasn't published a book in a long time, everyone prefers to practice their skills in rouge en rouge. But Mom doesn't make money from the club, which is... uh, no, that's off topic. This difference is not important. That's not the difference I want to talk about."

Ying Lili scratched her face embarrassedly, leaving Bai Ye speechless.

"What's important?"

Ying Lili raised a finger and gave an answer that shocked Bai Ye.

"copyright."

"Copyright..." Bai Ye took a deep breath, his expression gradually becoming solemn.

"Yes, I heard that the person in charge of rouge en rouge attaches great importance to copyright. The copyright of all works published by rouge en rouge belongs to her, while the copyright of works published by the Moms' Club belongs to the original creators."

Bai Ye nodded slowly, his thoughts drifting away.

The importance of copyright is fully demonstrated in this era. Holding copyright is like holding a gold mine. If you also hold publicity channels, it is equivalent to having the tools to mine the gold mine. All you have to do next is wait for the golden money to roll in.

The same goes for Bai Ye. He has the sole right to sell his family's products in Neon. All dealers can only purchase from him, and if they breach the contract, they will face huge fines.

Attaching great importance to copyright, this Akane Akinosaka is no ordinary person.

"Once Akane Benizaka gets the copyright for 'Flash Girls', it will probably be difficult to get it back..."

Seeing Bai Ye's increasingly embarrassed expression, Ying Lili wanted to share his worries.

"Even though 'Flash Girl' is in the hands of Iori Hasima, it doesn't mean he owns the copyright. 'Flash Girl' is the result of our joint efforts."

Bai Ye shook his head.

"Do you remember the agreement we all signed when we first joined the club? Akitomo was the organizer and initiator of the planning of 'Flash Girls', and he also had the final right of interpretation of 'Flash Girls'. Just based on that agreement, it can be determined that 'Flash Girls' belongs to him."

Eriri dug up memories that had been buried beneath the ground of Java at some unknown time, and the angle of her grin revealed her inner embarrassment and disbelief.

"Isn't that just a joking agreement? Is that okay?"

"Sometimes jokes can be taken seriously, and Iori Hasejima will definitely make a big deal out of it."

Ying Lili was extremely depressed and slapped Bai Ye on the shoulder.

"Why didn't you tell me at the beginning? If you had told me, we wouldn't have to go through so much trouble now."

white night"……"

"I also wonder why you weren't my girlfriend in the first place. Who could have predicted that?"

Eriri deliberately pursed her lips.

Even if she could travel back to six months ago and tell herself what happened in the past six months, she felt that the self six months ago would not believe it.

"I feel like light novels aren't as exciting as my manager over the past six months. Who would have thought I'd be so... so... ahem, just pretend I didn't say anything. Is this what Kasumigaoka meant by reality not needing to be justified?"

"maybe……"

Bai Ye had not expected that his relationship with everyone would become so intense. Half a year ago, he could not have imagined this kind of development. According to the original plan, he would only have established a romantic relationship with Shiyu, so how could he enjoy the happiness of having two people at the end of summer vacation.

"Let's not talk about this anymore." Bai Ye pretended to get down to business.

"Eriri, how much do you know about Akane Benisaka, the person in charge of rouge en rouge?"

"So the person in charge is called Akane Benisaka."

"Don't you know?" Bai Ye looked a little broken.

Ying Lili said confidently:

"I'm not one of her employees. It's my mom who's communicating with her. Why should I know the name of the person in charge of rouge en rouge?"

Bai Ye fell back on the bed with a big smile on his face, his eyes dull.

"Eri, you little golden retriever... I'd rather raise a piece of barbecued pork than you..."

"What are you doing, bastard!"

Eriri performs a Juku Kick.

The effect is remarkable!

Bai Ye used the hug.

The effect is remarkable! Eriri falls into a state of shyness and confusion.

"Let go, let go!"

"Just give me a hug, nothing else, let me think about something."

"Hugging a girl can also increase the thinking buff, you are really good."

Seeing that it was really just a proper hug, Ying Lili looked up at Bai Ye who was lost in thought, her eyes unconsciously lost in thought, and her delicate body responded by burying deep in his chest, enjoying the tenderness and sweetness of the moment.

"He's only a little bit handsome when he's thinking, just a little bit..."

. . . . . .

The next day, the weather was slightly cloudy.

Bai Ye rubbed his sleepy eyes, gently put down Ying Lili, who was enjoying a sweet dream in his arms, then carefully got out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash up.

He had dark circles under his eyes in the mirror, and his eyes looked a little dull.

He didn't get much rest last night, not because he was doing any serious work, but because his thoughts were always wandering between "Hajima Iori, "Flash Girl", and Benizaka Akane".

Although he knew that he would be able to get useful information from Sayuri Sawamura tomorrow morning, his unwillingness to let his fate be completely controlled by others made him think about it all night long. He only fell asleep in a daze after being bitten and served by Eriri at dawn.

"10 o'clock, slept for 4 hours... It's okay. I used to stay up late, but now I can't sleep. I hope my aunt is not out buying groceries and is not home."

After washing up, Bai Ye changed into clean clothes and tiptoed out of the room.

As soon as he arrived in the living room, the aroma of tea hit his nose. The moment he smelled the tea coming from the small dining room, Bai Ye's brows lit up with joy and he walked over quickly.
