To be honest, even now, Lin Feng still felt like everything that had happened was a bit unreal.
He'd inexplicably transmigrated, inexplicably arrived in the world of Doraemon, inexplicably become an elementary school student, and inexplicably become classmates with Shizuka, Gian, Suneo, and Nobita.
Everything had happened so quickly, leaving Lin Feng virtually no time to prepare.
If he hadn't read a few transmigration novels in his previous life, he might really be panicking right now, instead of being so calm and collected.
The afternoon classes ended even faster than he'd expected.
Perhaps because elementary schools in Japan let out early, leaving the students more free time for after-school activities.
At this moment, the students in the class had basically all left school and gone home. Their interest and curiosity in Lin Feng, the new transfer student, had only lasted for the morning.
This is quite normal, as elementary school students don't usually have long-lasting interests in things.
Anyway, everyone will be in the same class and studying together for a long time, so there's no need to worry about not having opportunities to get to know each other later.
Now that Lin Feng understood he was in the world of Doraemon.
He needed to plan his future early, before the crises in the movie versions arrived.
As he packed his schoolbag, Lin Feng thought about whether he should go buy the manga drawing tools during the break after school. After all, it was his old skill that he used to survive.
Preparing in advance could be useful.
However, as a new international transfer student, Lin Feng wasn't familiar with the local geography.
At this moment, perhaps he really needed to find a local guide to show him around.
Speaking of a local guide, Lin Feng happened to have a suitable candidate right beside him. He couldn't help but turn his gaze towards Shizuka, who was also packing her school bag.
"Shizuka, do you have any free time after school?"
Because they had talked before, their relationship and distance had improved. So, asking Shizuka these questions now wasn't too abrupt.
"After school?"
"Yes, Lin Feng, is there something?"
Because today was the first day of the new semester, Shizuka's extracurricular tutoring classes hadn't started yet. Also, the time for school dismissal in Japan was generally earlier in the afternoon.
It was only around three o'clock in the afternoon right now. After school, Shizuka would go back home, and besides doing her homework and reviewing the upcoming lessons, she didn't have anything else to do.
"Well, I want to go to the nearby Shopping Street to buy something. If you don't have anything to do after school, Shizuka, could you show me the way?"
Lin Feng smiled and openly stated his purpose.
There was nothing to hide, as he was new to the area and unfamiliar with his surroundings. Having a local guide would be a very good choice.
"Lin Feng, are you going to the Shopping Street to buy something?"
"I don't have anything to do this afternoon. I can go with you."
Shizuka was originally a very kind and helpful person, and Lin Feng had asked for her assistance.
So, after a moment's thought, she agreed.
Shizuka was also somewhat curious about this international transfer student, and now that she had the opportunity, she was willing to interact more with Lin Feng.
Moreover, after their previous conversation, Shizuka didn't think Lin Feng was difficult to get along with. On the contrary, she felt a sense of harmony when interacting with him.
"Thank you, Shizuka."
Lin Feng smiled slightly and nodded towards Shizuka.
He knew that, given Shizuka's personality, she likely wouldn't refuse his request unless it was something important.
But, being able to go shopping with a cute and gentle girl like Shizuka was actually a pretty good thing.
After all, in his previous life, Lin Feng had really liked Shizuka, the female lead in the original Doraemon anime.
In fact, it wasn't just Lin Feng. He believed that most people who had watched Doraemon were not only impressed by Doraemon's four-dimensional pocket that could produce all sorts of magical gadgets.
They probably also really liked Shizuka, who was gentle, cute, and understood how to consider things from other people's perspectives.
No wonder Nobita would visit Shizuka's house all the time. He'd pretend to be asking for help with his homework, but everyone knew what he was really up to.
At this moment, Shizuka and Lin Feng had finished packing their schoolbags. Just as they were about to leave, a familiar figure wearing a yellow shirt and round-framed glasses suddenly appeared in front of them.
Lin Feng looked up, a rather interesting smile playing on his lips.
The newcomer was none other than Nobita, who had been late on the first day of school.
"Shizuka, let's walk home together today!"
"I saw a really good manga recently, we can read it together on the way!"
Nobita seemed to completely ignore Lin Feng standing beside Shizuka, and excitedly invited her with a smile.
"Sorry, Nobita. I just promised Lin Feng that I'd go shopping with him after school. Let's save the manga for next time, okay?"
Shizuka politely declined Nobita's invitation. After all, she had already agreed to Lin Feng before Nobita even asked.
Shizuka was a woman of principle; once she agreed to something, she found it difficult to go back on her word.
"Ah? How could that be..."
Nobita didn't hide his disappointment when he learned Shizuka's reason for refusing; he wore it on his face.
"Well then, Nobita, if you have nothing else, you should head home early. Be careful on the way, and don't forget to do your homework, okay?"
"Lin Feng, let's go. Some of the shops in the Shopping Street might close early. If we go too late, we might miss them."
Shizuka first gave Nobita a few words of advice before turning to Lin Feng and smiling.
