"I'm a businessman, and they've caught my weak spot. Once I appear on stage, it will inevitably have an impact on my reputation and business, and the impact will be immeasurable."
It's not that he is reluctant to give up his fame and business. The purpose of working hard to make money is to open a harem, to give everyone a life of luxury, and to build a harmonious harem.
This is the original intention and cannot be forgotten.
His career is now on the rise, and the development of the "Gourmet Handbook" club requires a lot of funds. If his career is affected, the club will be implicated, and then the development of Icy Tail will be affected. Finally, Iori Hasima takes advantage of the situation and destroys his harem plan. If his harem is unstable, his career will be frustrated again.
As the saying goes, a single move affects the entire body; this is a vicious cycle.
"Alas...if my classmates hadn't been with me, I might have gone up there in a fit of rage."
"Really?" Podao Chukai was secretly delighted that he could help Senior Bai Ye, but then he frowned.
"But... what should I do now? Senior Amai is so persistent, it seems like he wants to fight to the death with you. Sigh... why did it turn out like this..."
"I have no idea what to do." Bai Ye spread his hands.
"What should I do..." Bodao was panicked and at a loss when she went out to sea. The noisy noises of passers-by who were fanning the flames made her feel as if she was in a small boat alone in the sea.
But in order to calm herself down, she gritted her trembling teeth and even pinched her arm hard.
Just because Senior Bai Ye is helpless doesn't mean he can only stand by and watch.
"Senior has helped me so much along the way. The booth at the summer comic convention, giving me drawing jobs, teaching me to think independently, how could I just turn my back on him?"
Although he had feelings for Senior Ayi, wrong was wrong, and standing by and watching was tantamount to aiding and abetting the evil. How could he possibly resolve the feud between the two seniors?!
This time it's my turn to help Senior Bai Ye!!
"Senior!"
There was determination in Hashima Chukai's eyes, even though her delicate body was still trembling.
"I'm going to go up on stage and confront Senior Amai! What's wrong is wrong! I can't let you be slandered because of my brothers' reckless behavior!"
A look of relief flashed in Bai Ye's eyes, and a warm current flowed through his heart. He put his big hands around her and hugged her tightly, just like how he usually was intimate with Shiyu and the others, and gently stroked the top of her head with his chin.
"I'm very happy that you have this thoughtfulness when you go out to sea~"
"Senior, please let me go! I need to go up on stage and explain things to Senior Amai. You clearly cherish the seniors so much! I can't let you suffer such an injustice!"
Bodao Chuhai struggled hard to break free, his voice tinged with tears, but all he got in return was Bai Ye's tighter and gentler embrace.
Hearing all this, Shiyu couldn't help but sigh:
"Xiaobai-kun, you're amazing... You've successfully tricked another ignorant young girl into your clutches."
"Is this the time to talk about this?" Bai Ye smiled helplessly.
"Senior, you're still laughing? Senior An Yi is about to take the microphone again! If you don't get on stage, it will be too late!"
Bai Ye still didn't let go. He turned Bodao out to sea and kissed her lightly on the forehead.
"Senior?!" Hasuma Chukai was stunned, his face flushed tenderly.
"Have you calmed down?" Bai Ye's fingers lightly brushed over the place he had kissed. "Also, don't forget that we are just spectators."
"Now is not the time to be a spectator!"
"Don't be impatient, I haven't finished yet. Although we are spectators, there are still people who are not spectators. We are not alone."
Bai Ye tapped the headset, his tone calm.
"Shiyu, are you still hiding it? Your boyfriend is facing a disaster."
"This is the first time I've seen someone hug another girl and still have the nerve to call himself your boyfriend. Xiaobai-kun, your shamelessness is almost reaching the sky."
Shiyu did the same, and gave a bright smile to the fans who came while speaking.
"Thank you for your support."
"Wow! Kasumi Shiko-sensei smiled at me! Camera? Where's the camera?"
She wanted to laugh out loud, but she had to hold herself back.
On the stage, Tomoya Aki has no idea what he is going to face. He just hopes that he doesn't go crazy and run out of the road, get hit by a car and end up in another world.
She tapped her headset, indicating that she had something to say.
"The show is about to begin, Xiaobai-kun~~ look up at the stage~~"
Chapter 586: Eriri: I will lead the charge!!!
After Icy Tail's performance, Michiru Hyodo did not stay backstage. She waved to Iori Hasima and Tomoya Aki who were about to go on stage, then hurried away with her guitar on her back.
She left the summer festival venue and came to a car parked on the street. After confirming the license plate was correct, she looked up and knocked on the window.
The car window dropped, revealing Kato Megumi and Eriri inside, as well as Sayuri Sawamura in the driver's seat.
"Hyoudou-san is here."
"Yeah, aren't you guys going to the scene? It's pretty hot with so many people around."
“You can watch it here too.”
Kato Megumi opened the car door, and Bingtang carefully got into the car with the guitar, looking around for where to put the guitar.
"give it to me."
"Thank you, be careful!"
Eriri took the guitar and placed it horizontally on the back seat platform, with a bag of clothes next to it.
Suddenly, the voice of Iori Hatima was heard from the car. Michiru Hyodo looked in the direction of the voice and saw a tablet computer in front of her, which was playing the summer festival stage.
"Hmm? Is there a live broadcast of the summer festival?"
Sayuri Sawamura turned around, and the small fan that she never let go of was tapping her delicate hands regularly.
"No, I asked someone to send a video call so I don't have to go out in the sun."
"What a great idea! Auntie really knows how to enjoy herself! It's so cool! Uh... right! What did you all call me here for? Aren't you going to the summer festival with Ah Ye?"
Michiru Hyodo said with a smile, not noticing that the atmosphere in the car was gradually changing. Kato Megumi and Eriri looked at her with strange eyes.
"Hyoudou-san."
"Yes."
Michiru Hyodo noticed that Kato Megumi was looking at her with a straight posture. Her pale yellow eyes seemed to emit an invisible pressure, which made her feel a little pressured.
"Did Iori Hasima just say something to Icy tail and you backstage?"
At this time, Iori Hasima on the stage was holding up the microphone, and all the words were transmitted to the car in real time.
Michiru Hyodo didn't answer immediately. Her attention was focused on the tablet until Iori Hamajima finished speaking and smiled proudly.
She frowned slightly, instinctively feeling that something was wrong. When she turned to meet the eyes of Eriri and Kato Megumi, this feeling became even stronger.
"Iori-kun said he hopes to help Icy tail. He has connections and will help introduce me to some musicians, screenwriters, and directors. Um... basically the same as what he said on the stage."
"Is that really the case?" Although Kato Megumi's voice was soft, it still fell clearly into Hyodo Michiru's ears.
"What are you talking about... Kato-san? I feel like you're hiding something from me..."
Kato Megumi shook her head.
Iori Hasima was about to reveal her true colors, and she didn't need to hide it. She was just worried about whether Michiru Hyodo realized what she was about to face and whether she was willing to face it.
"Hyoudou-san, you've done your best for the development of Icy Tail. Perhaps because of this, you've consciously or unconsciously accepted a lot of good intentions."
"I understand what you're saying." Hyodo Michiru put away her smile. "My relationship with Iori-san is not what you think. I know Iori-san has feelings for me, but I also told him that Aye is my boyfriend! I just want to find more opportunities for Icy Tail."
"I don't blame Hyodou-san for feeling that way about Icy Tail. Even if Byakuya-kun were here, I wouldn't blame him."
"So what do you want, Kato-kun?"
Kato Megumi was a little helpless.
Only by giving up can you gain. It was only after she went through hardships that she deeply understood this truth.
She didn't want to tell Michiru Hyodo everything right now. First, she felt she was not qualified. Second, now was not the time to be frank. Third, it would affect Michiru Hyodo's mood and would have an impact on the important things that would happen next.
"I don't want to do anything. This isn't the only reason why Hyodo-san came here. What happens next is the most important thing!"
Hearing her rare serious tone, Hyodo Michiru looked back at the screen, her surprise evident.
"Hey—why is Allen on stage too? I asked him backstage if he was going to perform, and he said Iori-san just dragged him along to watch the fun."
Kato Megumi and Eriri looked at each other and felt a little relieved.
It's good news that Michiru Hyodo doesn't know.
They probably knew the reason why Tomoya Aki lied. Once they let it slip and exposed their true purpose, they would definitely be criticized by Michiru Hyodo, and all their efforts might be wasted.
"This matter has little to do with Hyodo-san. It's my fault. Aki-san is just afraid that you will stop him." Kato Megumi said.
"Hold up what?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Aki Tomoya's roar swept over like a wave.
……
"Ah, this kid, Tomoya-kun."
Sayuri Sawamura's sigh broke the silence in the car, and her disappointment and heartache were beyond words.
She has always been paying attention to Tomoya Aki. Even though he is an ordinary person with no money or power, she did not look down on Tomoya Aki, nor did she object to her daughter's secret crush on him.
She had anticipated this day and could have stopped Tomoya Aki from going on stage, but she would not and could not do so.
In this matter, she was just a spectator.
"Obsession is such a terrifying thing."
She turned around and saw expressions of anger, surprise, helplessness, etc. on the faces of the three girls, like an overturned disaster, a mixture of sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty flavors.
"Say something like that! Allen is going too far!" Michiru Hyodo rolled up her sleeves, looking angry as if she was about to hit someone.
"Ren Ye, is he crazy?"
Even though she had prepared herself mentally, Ying Lili was still stunned. She pointed at the screen and was so angry that she could hardly speak.
The two of them looked to the center, one on the left and one on the right. It seemed that Tomoya Aki said half of what he said and kept the other half, but for them who knew the inside story, they knew exactly what Tomoya Aki was trying to do.
Kato Megumi had a blank expression on her face, her eyes hadn't changed since Aki Tomoya opened his mouth, and she hadn't said a word.
Eriri sensed a strange feeling from her and felt inexplicably frightened.
It's like a long-dormant volcano. Others think it's a dead volcano, but in fact, it has been accumulating and enduring for the next eruption.
When it erupts, civilization is wiped out wherever it goes.
"Hey, Kato-san, say something..."
"Sawamura-kun, let's do what we agreed on beforehand."
Kato Megumi picked up the bag from the back seat and placed it in front of Eriri with an attitude that did not allow for refusal.
Ying Lili's mouth twitched, and she was a little hesitant.
"Do we really have to do this... Ah! It's not that I don't want to - it's just... it's just..."
Kato Megumi slightly removed the dead look in her eyes, and her tone revealed a rare pleading tone.
"We are the only ones who can help Bai Yejun now. I beg you to let me end this with my own hands."
"I'm happy to help you even without asking, but this is too..."
Ying Lili looked at the clothes in the bag, and thought of Bai Ye, whom she loved and hated, and she gritted her teeth and made up her mind!
"Alright! Let's go all out! I've disliked Lun for a long time! How can I let go of this opportunity to make Hundan Baiye owe me a favor? Go! Die!"
While saying words to encourage herself, she changed her clothes. The moment she stepped out of the car door, she suddenly stopped and looked back at the driver's seat.
"Mom, I can really do whatever I want today, right?"
"Of course!" Sayuri Sawamura opened her fan, revealing a pair of unreadable eyes. "Don't underestimate your mother. As long as it's what you want, I can sink you into Tokyo Bay with a cement bucket and nothing will happen."
"There's no need to be like this..." Ying Lili's mouth twitched.
"Don't worry, Eriri~~ I'll record your majestic and domineering image and save it for later~"
“I don’t want this one!!!”
. . . . . .
At this moment, the stage.
