The back seat by the window, the king's homeland.
The teacher was prattling on at the podium, while Hayato gazed out at the blue sky and white clouds.
Below the sky was the sports field.
A class was having a physical education lesson on the field.
Japanese girls taking off their sailor uniforms and changing into gym clothes—Hayato had only seen such scenes in anime before… Of course, there were also many in 'doujinshi' about how to play with gym clothes, those books recorded quite a bit.
Of, of course, they were 'pure love doujinshi'!
Cuckold doujinshi were simply seen and forgotten…! Unbearable to look at! Unbearable to look at! He felt disgusted! Disgusting! Disgusting—
Hayato cast aside these wild thoughts and continued to watch the Japanese girls enjoying their youth, as for the Japanese boys, he completely ignored them.
He locked onto a head of black ponytail in the crowd.
A tall figure, slender limbs, skin as white as snow.
It was Siyuan Liangxiang, who was doing warm-up exercises. She was doing forward bends, and all eyes, male and female, were on her.
Siyuan Liangxiang was as eye-catching as a blooming flower on the grass.
"Hmm?"
Siyuan Liangxiang, who was trying to touch her toes with her fingers, suddenly turned around and looked up towards the teaching building.
She saw the young man in a certain window looking at her.
…It was Hayato.
Siyuan Liangxiang curved her lips into a faint smile and waved her hand in front of her chest.
"What's wrong, Liangxiang?" a female classmate asked.
"Nothing…" Siyuan Liangxiang chuckled softly.
"Oh? Did you see Matsubara?" The female classmate smirked: "Your relationship is really good… I'm so envious…"
"No, no…" Siyuan Liangxiang quickly said: "Ayumu and I are just friends who grew up together."
That's right, with Ayumu, it's just a childhood friend relationship.
Siyuan Liangxiang told herself, and with Hayato, it was… just an ordinary classmate relationship.
That was all.
What beast-like senses.
Hayato clicked his tongue, thinking, from such a distance, and from above, Siyuan Liangxiang could actually pinpoint his location in an instant. Was this the composure of the Karate Club's ace?
He withdrew his gaze and continued to listen to the lecture.
Host! It's already been half a day, so why haven't you asked Ai-chan for help?! Pout, Ai-chan is making a fuss, trying to get the Host's attention.
"This question..."
Hayato looked at the textbook.
Although he could be considered proficient in Japanese now, he was helpless with English... Oh, no, this was a math book.
He had no idea where his high school math knowledge had gone; he had even completely forgotten the Pythagorean theorem.
And math is the most loyal thing; it will never deceive you. If you don't know it, you simply don't.
So Hayato quickly gave up on a cure and continued to look out the window.
System? What's the use of this thing...?
Yesterday, it was swearing on its life about 'chasing love to the crematorium,' but in less than half a day, it came out wagging its tail, trying to get attention again.
What a disgraceful thing.
Host—
Cutting off, he started considering other things. Hayato thought while twirling his pen,
Before he could even think about the situation in Syria, he was called out by the teacher's powerful shout, "Hayato!"
"Y-yes."
"Now tell me, how do you solve this problem?"
Sometimes, doing certain things comes with a price. Doodling in class might lead to being caught by the teacher.
"Uh-oh..." It was a fill-in-the-blank question. The blackboard was covered with a bunch of English symbols and formulas, making Hayato wonder, 'Is this really math?' If it were a multiple-choice question, there would at least be a chance to guess.
But it was 'fill-in-the-blank'!
Hayato had lived two lives, and his math knowledge hadn't increased, but some other areas had grown considerably. For example, his thick skin.
He was about to use the answer, 'I don't know,' but then he thought of a solution.
(Stupid system! Are you there?)
Here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here! Pout, Ai-chan says she's always waiting for the Host... But Ai-chan must emphasize that she's not stupid; Ai-chan's IQ is higher than...
(If your IQ is really that high, then tell me how to do this problem.)
Hmph, I knew the Host would be eager to rely on Ai-chan. After all, in this era, systems are justice... Pout, Ai-chan proudly puffed out her 36D...
(If you don't know how to do it, shut up!)
...0...
"The answer is 0," Hayato immediately replied.
...Oh, Hayato, I didn't expect you to be listening carefully," the math teacher said in surprise. "Then don't look around."
"My eyes are just a little tired, so I was looking into the distance," Hayato said, sitting down gracefully.
"What the heck, it's 0."
"I thought it was 1. How could Hayato get 0?"
"His 0 is the correct one..."
The students around him began to discuss their calculated answers.
(Very impressive.)
Of course, Ai-chan is a highly intelligent system. Pout, Ai-chan is spinning around proudly, and although she was scared by the Host just now, Ai-chan won't say it out loud. She hopes the Host will notice on his own and comfort Ai-chan with gentle words...
(Heaven, it's so blue...)
Hey, hey, hey, Host, you're just burning bridges! Talk to Ai-chan, quickly...
After his thoughts drifted away, the words of the artificial idiot became blurry, only the last faint sentence was heard...
Scumbag!
...
The blue sky turned fiery red, and the dismissal bell rang.
Hayato sighed, 'The clouds are burning,' then stood up with the flow, tidying his schoolbag, ready to go home.
"Oh! Hayato, let's go home together!" Anshi Zhengzhi said.
"Okay."
"And accompany me to get a haircut!" Anshi Zhengzhi said.
"Ah, I suddenly remembered I have something to do. You go by yourself."
"Hey! You're the one who told me to get a haircut!"
"Well, I didn't say I'd go with you. Accompanying you for a haircut would take at least thirty minutes, not including waiting time... I don't have that much free time!"
"Stop talking nonsense, I'm sticking with you today!"
Anshi Zhengzhi hooked Hayato's shoulder until they walked together to the school gate.
"Hayato..."
Siyuan Liangxiang, carrying her schoolbag, waved at Hayato, then looked at the dazed Anshi Zhengzhi, "This is...?"
Anshi Zhengzhi hastily let go of Hayato's shoulder, then quickly retreated, creating distance between them:
"Oh! Aibo! I'll walk the rest of the way alone! I'm out of here! Hahahahahahahahahahaha!"
He laughed heartily and sprinted away in a direction completely different from his home.
What's going on!?
So Hayato and Siyuan Liangxiang are already this close? Aibo... you must find happiness!!
"He...?" Siyuan Liangxiang pointed her slender finger at Anshi Zhengzhi's increasingly distant back.
"He's sick," Hayato said. "Are you waiting for Matsubara?"
"Mm," Siyuan Liangxiang lowered her gaze and nodded. "I was waiting for you too."
...Ha...
Hayato said.
