Shiro took a piece of meat, eating it as he spoke, giving the impression of a very relaxed person, as if the food on the plate could disappear at any moment.
"Can't you calm down a little? There are also some good people there."
Mikan always had the feeling that this guy was making a mountain out of a molehill.
"Come on, from the class representative to those people, they're all the same."
"The only normal ones are maybe two or three. I even doubt if they could make a table for mahjong."
"Honestly, if I had known earlier that you would be assigned there, I would have had someone help you transfer. But then I thought and wanted to see if their original trajectory, before they were connected, would still happen, because I also need to find that place."
The others were completely confused when they heard this, but only Mikan reacted slightly to these words.
Now that Shiro spoke so openly, it was obvious he had no intention of hiding anything from these people. If they guess, they guess; if not, then nothing.
"According to you, will something happen?"
Mikan was quite curious about what could happen in her class.
Shiro took a sip of the soup, then spoke in a relaxed tone.
"If they hadn't been assigned here, they would have been summoned to another world to become heroes."
"And that's a group summoning. Ever since I found out about this, I've been looking for an entrance to that other world, intending to go there to break through and vent a little, because from the goddess to the nobility, everyone is a bunch of disgusting characters. It would be perfect to destroy that place so I could relieve some stress. But I didn't expect to find no trace, so I placed a lot of protection on you. If they really sent you there, I could appear immediately."
As soon as Shiro said that, the others were confused. What was this even about? Another world?
"Shiro, does something like another world really exist? Or is it a planet or a special hidden space?"
Lala asked energetically at that moment, full of curiosity, because she was very interested in such unknown things.
"I don't know. I just saw a small part of the future trajectory."
"Of course, that's the original trajectory. After all, my existence and various other factors here have already changed their original life paths, so I'm not sure if they will still be summoned to another world. I assume it's from a universe outside this one, because otherwise, I wouldn't be able to not find the entrance."
"You can think of it as someone from another universe using certain means to lock people in a specific area of this universe and take them away."
After hearing that, Lala suddenly showed an expression of understanding.
"Shiro, can you do that?"
"If it's a parallel universe within our universe, for example, if you consider this plate with fried chicken as one large universe, and one piece of chicken as one universe, while the other pieces are parallel universes, then in that case I can pull people or even go there myself without any pressure, because they're all on the same plate."
"But if I have to jump from this plate to another large plate, two unconnected places, then I can't. Because through the spaces I would have to pass, I can pass with my power, but not for long, the pressure is too great. Unless I break through to a higher level, then maybe I could barely go, but what I would face would be quite dangerous, because it's easy to get lost there and I wouldn't be able to find the way back."
As a scientist, Lala perfectly understood Shiro's words, so she spoke in a curious tone.
"Then, can you take me to see the parallel universes here?"
Shiro shook his head when he heard that.
"It's not that I wouldn't take you, but there really isn't such a thing here."
"We don't have parallel universes here. In other words, on this plate there is only one piece of chicken."
"That's why I put so much protection on Mikan, to see if such a situation would really happen, because I really want to find that place."
The two people were completely lost, but only Mikan understood Shiro's words.
"Are you using me as bait?"
"Cough, cough, cough, it's not really baiting, more like pure curiosity. After all, how should I say it, I didn't interfere with the class assignment or anything like that. I only found out later."
"If you really have to say it, you can call it fate, and I'm just along for the ride. Besides, you would go there and immediately come back, okay? After all, I wouldn't really leave you there. Plus, that place is pretty disgusting, so there's no way I'd let you stay there and play with those disgusting people."
Mikan was taken aback when she heard that, then asked curiously.
"What did you see? Why do you look so disgusted?"
Shiro thought about the novels and anime he had watched. At that time, there weren't many episodes before he transmigrated here, and the anime was also new, so he only knew the general plot.
"It's the world of demon kings and heroes. The goddess is in charge of summoning heroes, and it's a place in the style of an empire with nobility, ordinary people, slaves, armies, and so on. Or rather, a place of swords and magic."
When they heard that, a strange light appeared in the eyes of these people, as if they were very excited. After all, those concepts were the most interesting to them at that age. Although they didn't fully understand the concrete situation, they still got it…
Isn't this a typical other-world adventure from novels?
"I know what you're thinking, but I suggest you give up. Those places are the filthiest, especially the ones with slavery. Betrayal and schemes are everywhere. Not to mention, that goddess has summoned heroes multiple times. After the heroes of each era finish their missions, she discards them, uses them, then throws them away, because the reputation of heroes is too great, and then she waits somewhere in some place."
"Even if you imagine gods as benevolent, that lady, when facing low-talent and low-rank heroes, chooses to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, openly discarding them to those exile places."
Kasumigaoka Utaha also reacted when she heard that.
"Isn't that the plot where the discarded weakling later rises to take revenge?"
"Exactly, roughly like that. And those heroes and the like are full of schemes and calculations, conceited, or rather, none of those characters appeal to my eyes."
"After all, you know what people in your class are like."
"That's why, after the class reassignment, I plan to have Kaguya transfer you directly, so you won't have to stay with those unlucky things again."
When Shiro said that, his tone was full of contempt.
Mikan had lived with Shiro for so long, or rather, understood his various expressions to the core, and knew that he really couldn't stand those people.
It wasn't because he had some sense of justice or thought those people were of bad character; he simply didn't like that type of person and didn't want to have anything to do with them.
Yui at that moment raised her hand and spoke energetically.
"Shiro, after hearing your words, I think I roughly understand some things. So I'm very curious, what will my future be like?"
Yui looked at Shiro in a curious tone, but in her eyes appeared an inexplicable look.
"I can't see it. After all, while I'm here, nothing can be seen."
"I can see them completely because they're weaklings, but how can I see myself? I'm actually not on the path of destiny."
