"So, Passerby-kun, you want to establish a relationship with me just like that?" Kasumigaoka Shiwa stopped eating, looked up at Qianshu Lian, and asked.
"You're overthinking it. I only said that to make you back off!" Qianshu Lian said with a hint of disdain.
He was a decent person; how could he establish a relationship with a girl in such a way?
"Is that so? What a pity then~"
Kasumigaoka Shiwa lowered her head, no longer paid attention to Qianshu Lian, and focused on eating the bento in front of her.
Qianshu Lian took the opportunity to leave that troublesome place. For some unknown reason, at least for now, Qianshu Lian didn't want to get too involved with her.
Some unknown feeling told Qianshu Lian that it would be very troublesome if he really got involved.
Watching Qianshu Lian's departing back, Kasumigaoka Shiwa smiled slyly. The bento box was still with her, so there was always a reason to strike up a conversation.
After smiling, Kasumigaoka Shiwa looked at the bento box in her hand and fell into thought. Ever since she learned last night that their world might not be an entirely ordinary daily world.
Kasumigaoka Shiwa also had a strange anxiety in her heart. Not to mention chaos affecting the world or a city.
Even if some chaotic things happened casually in the school, she had no resistance at all.
Delicate women are indeed pursued in peaceful times, but they have no self-preservation ability at all in unpeaceful times.
Should I go to the gym?
This was the question Kasumigaoka Shiwa thought of at the time, but soon, Kasumigaoka Shiwa gave up on this option.
It was useless to make last-minute efforts, and with her physique, it was probably impossible to become stronger through fitness.
Then there weren't many paths left for her. It was nothing more than maintaining a relationship with people who could protect themselves. It wasn't about necessarily becoming boyfriends and girlfriends, but at least they could become friends first.
Moreover, after such a long observation, Kasumigaoka Shiwa also understood that as long as the other party recognized her as a friend, it was quite normal for them to lend a helping hand.
As she thought, Kasumigaoka Shiwa sighed. If she could become stronger independently, who would want to cling to someone else?
However, from her observation, Qianshu Lian could be called a light novel protagonist. It was said that a golden finger was a common item for protagonists.
Coupled with his understanding of the future of the world, his protagonist's halo was directly maxed out. Even if the future changed, Qianshu Lian, who had a general understanding of the future, was already in an invincible position.
For example, if Wang Mang was really a transmigrator, then in such a situation, what if the inner self of this Wang Mang was actually Liu Xiu?
Knowing history and having a protagonist's halo, there was really no reason to lose!
Kasumigaoka Shiwa, chuckling, finally finished the last bit of food in the bento and gently closed the box.
"I'll find an opportunity this afternoon to return the bento box~"
Qianshu Lian, who had left the rooftop, breathed a sigh of relief and quickly walked towards the classroom.
Upon arriving in the classroom, Yukino Yukinoshita was already sitting in her seat as usual, while Sakura Chiyo had not yet returned.
After all, compared to his and Yukino Yukinoshita's social circles, Sakura Chiyo was truly like a group favorite.
Whether inside or outside the class, many people were willing to establish friendly relationships with Sakura Chiyo.
"Good afternoon, have you finished eating so quickly?"
Qianshu Lian forced himself to find a way to start a conversation, only to be met with a roll of Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes.
Had Yukino's expression become so rich already?
This was Qianshu Lian's first thought.
"Don't just casually try to strike up a conversation. At least think it through seriously!" Yukino Yukinoshita reminded him.
"Haha~" Qianshu Lian laughed somewhat awkwardly and immediately thought of another topic.
"Have you joined any clubs? If not, how about joining mine? I've founded a game development club!"
"Okay—"
Qianshu Lian was talking to himself when he suddenly heard Yukino Yukinoshita's answer, and he just replied to himself.
"Rejected, alright, then you, huh?!"
Qianshu Lian, who was about to express regret as usual, froze blankly. The development of this plot was not quite what he had originally expected, was it?
Shouldn't Yukino Yukinoshita have established the Service Club herself? Why would she suddenly agree to join his club?
Qianshu Lian's slightly puzzled expression did not escape Yukino Yukinoshita's observation, but Yukino Yukinoshita had no intention of changing her mind.
More than ten years of understanding was already enough for Yukino Yukinoshita to be changed by him, and also enough for Yukino Yukinoshita to develop different feelings for Qianshu Lian.
Putting everything else aside, if someone you've known for over ten years invites you to join his club, and you no longer have any other stubborn adherence, isn't it normal to join?
However, it was also at this moment that Yukino Yukinoshita realized that the more than ten years of affection and understanding only applied to her.
They had to cultivate their relationship. It wouldn't work if it was just her understanding and her increasing affection.
Yukino Yukinoshita secretly made up her mind. Do you know how extraordinary it is for a girl who is still in elementary school and being bullied by other classmates to have a diary that only she can see and that reveals many truths about the world to her?
The connection between us must not be broken just because we grow up!
"Alright then, this afternoon, you can come with me to the club room. Just fill out the application form then!"
After a moment of stunned ing, Qianshu Lian also came back to his senses and no longer cared. Anyway, no matter how things changed, it wouldn't cause too much trouble for his current self.
His former self was unwilling to interfere, and many things were beyond his former capabilities.
It was only after he gained more and more money and other rewards that he gradually began to change the things he couldn't stand.
Now, there's even less to say. With the Black Shadow Troops, his confidence suddenly became more than sufficient, which also gave Qianshu Lian another idea.
Since his game development club was originally just a facade, why couldn't this game club become a true facade?
Looking at Yukino Yukinoshita in front of him, Qianshu Lian fell silent, meticulously beginning to plan in his heart.
Yukino Yukinoshita, unaware of Qianshu Lian's thoughts, nodded after receiving his agreement and continued to bury herself in her book.
