Accompanying Hachiman Hikigaya's scream, Qianshu Lian finally let go of Hachiman Hikigaya's throat.
"You wouldn't actually be planning to pursue your ideal of becoming a house-husband when you grow up, would you?"
Qianshu Lian spoke in a questioning tone, but there was a strange certainty in his heart.
Even though he should have changed a large part of the other party's future direction, did he still inevitably head towards the ideal of being a house-husband?
"Since you already know, you should understand my thoughts!" Hachiman Hikigaya said after tidying his clothes, "After all, I'm completely different from normies like you!"
Hachiman Hikigaya deeply understood the guy beside him; his handsome looks were just a basic condition, so let's not even mention that.
The key was that both his academic performance and athletic abilities were extraordinarily good.
And it was an all-around excellence, not like himself, a student with lopsided performance. From the moment he met the other party, he had firmly held the top position.
In junior high, both boys and girls liked to gather around him. No matter what he did, he seemed to be able to strike up a conversation with anyone.
There were many times Hachiman Hikigaya, no matter how he recalled, couldn't remember why they became friends, even though he was well aware of every step leading to their friendship.
"You call me a normie, but I haven't even dated anyone yet, and I don't even have many true friends~"
Qianshu Lian said nonchalantly. In fact, even if his previous life was counted, his mental age could still be considered young.
In reality, there are older husbands and younger wives; even a ten-plus year age difference is not as difficult to accept as imagined.
But that is all based on maturity, at least in high school or even college. Girls mature relatively earlier, so the difference in their thinking should not be as significant at that time.
In elementary and junior high school, Qianshu Lian genuinely had no interest whatsoever. Even if he wanted to play a 'raising' game, he wasn't interested.
If he really wanted to play a 'raising' game, he would have transferred to the schools where his favorite anime heroines were when he was younger.
But their personalities are shaped by their respective growth experiences. If he really played a 'raising' game, the transformed character might no longer be the heroine he liked.
Of course, the main reason was that Qianshu Lian was too lazy to do so.
Aside from potential tragedies, Qianshu Lian would not interfere with others' lives, as interfering with others' lives requires taking responsibility.
The two entered the hallway and went into their respective classrooms. Because they couldn't be in the same class, Qianshu Lian couldn't directly see if Hachiman Hikigaya would make new friends.
This time, Hachiman Hikigaya was assigned to Class F, while Qianshu Lian himself was assigned to Class J. He didn't know how they were divided.
However, his previous words were merely a hope. Even if Hachiman Hikigaya truly couldn't find new friends, wasn't he still his friend?
Arriving at his classroom, he obediently found a seat in the back row by the window, the so-called 'homeland of the back-row-window-king,' although it wasn't actually that exaggerated.
It was just that manga artists chose such a position to save some drawing time and reduce unnecessary excessive lines.
But it must be said that from this position, the view outside the window was quite good. At least, after Qianshu Lian sat down and looked out, he could see many people still entering the campus one after another.
However, Qianshu Lian still spotted a special teacher among the bustling crowd: Sakura Megumi—the teacher from School-Live!, who was originally supposed to be a Japanese language teacher.
But since she appeared here, then the School-Live! plot should not happen, right?
After all, this is not some small city, and there is no Randell Corporation. Even if there were, given Randell Corporation's size, it could be called a giant enterprise in the fictional city of Megurigaoka.
But in this big city, it couldn't be called a giant, so it naturally couldn't directly use the school as one of its experimental sites.
But speaking of it, in the original work, there were already evacuation manuals distributed for leaks, but the final evacuation still failed?
Zombies that even students could defeat, yet no army came to eradicate them?
Or did Randell Corporation directly cover up all the news? If so, that would be incredible. To be able to cover it up in modern society is simply unbelievable.
Shaking his head, he stopped his wild thoughts. Qianshu Lian turned his head and realized that Sakura Megumi, whom he had just seen, seemed to have entered his classroom.
Although Qianshu Lian didn't quite know who the teacher for Class F was in the original plot, it definitely wasn't Sakura Megumi.
After all, the two couldn't even be classified into the same world. However, it was clear that after the fusion, Sakura Megumi also had no doubts about this world.
This very gentle teacher stood at the podium and softly greeted the students.
"Please return to your seats, everyone. First, congratulations to all of you on entering high school and starting a new stage of learning!"
Sakura Megumi's face was full of gentle smiles. Qianshu Lian felt that she, not in the world of School-Live!, would surely live a peaceful life.
After a commotion, all the students returned to their chosen seats. A few students had not yet arrived, so there were still empty seats in the classroom.
Normally, teachers shouldn't arrive in the classroom so early. After all, it's quite normal for new high school students not to be fully present before the bell rings on their first day of reporting.
Even if there were self-introductions to be made, they should at least wait until after the bell rang.
"We'll do introductions after all the students have arrived. Right now, I need a few students to come with me to do something. I wonder if any strong male students are willing?"
Sakura Megumi's voice continued, and Qianshu Lian nodded knowingly.
So, she came to find some help, right? This trip must be to move books, then?
Does this kind of activity even exist when coming into an anime?
Qianshu Lian recalled his own past; whether in elementary, junior high, or high school, there seemed to have been similar activities.
But at that time, there were quite a few strong girls in the class who could carry those books and even run faster than the boys.
Anyway, Qianshu Lian rarely got to do that kind of work back then. At most, he would read all the books on the first day after getting them.
