Chapter Thirteen If It Were You

  "Ah, right! Why was Kaito out so late and wandering around like those delinquents? And why is his clothes all disheveled? Did he get mugged or something?" Ms. Moe and Kaito were walking side by side on the way back to their apartment when they passed through a well-lit streetlamp area, only then did they notice the disheveled state of Kaito's clothes.

  "It's not like that... how can I put this..."

  Could it be that the truth is, this was left behind as a result of fighting with LV5's Misaka Mikoto? In that case, Little Miss Moeko would definitely go to find Misaka Mikoto with a strong sense of justice! If things develop to that extent, wouldn't that mean my information has been completely leaked to Bilibili National Middle School's Electromaster, who seems to have already put me on her list of sworn enemies?

  This thing that disrupts my peaceful daily life absolutely cannot happen! In that case, finding an excuse is no big deal even if it's a bit embarrassing; thinking of this, Jie Lu initially said to Little Meng teacher with a determined expression: "It's because I was hungry so I came out to buy midnight snacks, and as a result, unfortunately encountered a group of thugs on the road..."

  "Hmm... " Little Meng teacher said, walking and looking up at the sky with her index finger supporting her chin: "If that's the case, Xiao Jie, you're really unlucky. Recently, there have been a lot fewer delinquents around here for some reason; if you can still run into them like this, do you also have a physique that attracts misfortune like that student in our class?"

  "That's absolutely impossible!" Kaiji immediately denied the assertion; he felt that if he really became like Ushio Tokiya, a constitution that would bring about all sorts of misfortune, it would be better to die early and reincarnate early!

  "Isn't this denial a bit too quick and decisive? Do you know Kojou Sotomura, Intetsu Chosa?" Moe stopped in her tracks and asked curiously.

  "Ah, it's because I saw him that time when I was late and got fired! But I've never heard of this guy being able to spread misfortune to those around him? However, why did I get fired right after meeting him? It's too much of a coincidence to be called a low-probability event." Kiyotaka Ayanokouji completely brushed off the fact that he got into a fight with his teacher as the reason for getting fired and shifted all the blame onto Kamijou Touma.

  "Little brother, were you expelled from school?"

  Kaiji was mentally affirming the crucial role that Toma Kamijou played in his expulsion, when behind him, the usually expressionless Komoe-sensei said something that made his whole body shudder.

  "No, no, it's nothing, just a suspension... Yeah, just a suspension, the word 'expulsion' has never come out of my mouth! Intuition told him that if he frankly admitted to being expelled from school, what was originally not very calm would fly away with wings."

  "Why don't you dare look into my eyes and speak?"

  “……”

  At this time, I should be running away or escaping? But with limited property on my body, as a neighbor of Little Meng teacher, it's like the saying "the monk can run but the temple can't", it seems that I can only obediently admit to being expelled. Otherwise, tomorrow morning, Little Meng teacher will definitely come over to check if I'm at home or not! Even if I pretend not to be there, the electricity meter spinning at the door can prove some things...

  "Well, because I was late and got into a quarrel with the principal at the school gate, it escalated to the point of beating up the teacher; naturally, I was expelled from school. No school would want to take in a student like me, right?"

  But if it's really because of this reason that you're neglecting your students like this, then I'm no longer Xiao Meng Laoshi.

  "Ko Itari, why don't you come to our school to study?" Teacher Moe said seriously, inviting him.

  "Huh? But wouldn't a student like that worry about causing trouble for the school? I'm the super delinquent who was expelled for that kind of reason, you know!" Kaito Minamoto was flustered by Little Mo's sudden invitation and responded with frantic gestures he didn't even understand himself.

  "Schools and teachers are institutions and professions established to bring students like you back on the right track!" Little Mo teacher's small body leaned in close to Kaiji Ichiryusai, speaking with an unmistakable tone of affirmation.

  "So Xiao Jie's travel concerns do not exist! If a school closes its doors to Xiao Jie for this reason, that would be the school's fault! That would be a tragedy in the education sector!"

  "Really...?" Kaiya's eyes met those of Chibi Moe-sensei, and he suddenly felt a strong desire to attend school; If I had a teacher like her in my past life who said such things to me, I wouldn't have become that lazy otaku who escaped into 2D worlds twice...

  "If our class teacher is Xiao Meng Laoshi, then it's okay!"

  "That's settled then! Let's make a pinky promise, I, Moe-sensei, swear to educate Kaito into a fine young man with ambition!" Under the streetlights on that summer night, Moe-sensei smiled as she held out her pinky towards Kaito. The summer breeze gently blew through her short pink hair and the leaves of the trees by the roadside; amidst the rustling of the leaves and the bright glow of the streetlights, Kaito numbly held out his own pinky to seal this promise with Moe-sensei.

  After the sacred ritual of completing the promise (in Xiaomeng teacher's words), Jielü Chūyì and Xiaomeng teacher chatted idly as they continued walking towards the apartment; in fact, it was basically just Xiaomeng teacher asking questions to Jielü Chūyì, who was still dazed from that feeling and responded with perfunctory "uh-huhs" and "ahs".

  Kai Ryōsuke felt that his current state was strange. If he were to describe the feeling as love, he thought it absolutely wasn't; the feeling was more like a child who had never experienced any parental love suddenly receiving care from their parents, a strange and warm feeling.

  As for why Kai Lü Chu Yì knew that kind of feeling, it was because he was born in his previous life and his parents divorced soon after, so he was raised by his grandparents from a young age. Moreover, it seemed that in this life, Kai Lü Chu Yì was also an orphan. This was the conclusion drawn by Kai Lü Chu Yì, who had come from another world, through the fact that there were no records of any remittances on his bank card; he thought that even if parents were extremely heartless, they wouldn't go to the extent of not giving their child living expenses for so many years.

  "Hey! Hey! Xiao Jie is really listening to what Xiao Moe teacher is saying, right?!"

  Jie Lü's eyes widened as he was suddenly pulled back by Xiao Moe, and when he came to his senses, he found that they had unknowingly returned to the front of that old apartment; if it wasn't for Xiao Moe pulling him back, he would have walked right past it in a daze.

  "Sorry, sorry, I was just thinking about how to get along with my new classmates in the new semester...". It's easy for him to come up with an excuse, and for someone who has read countless light novels and played countless H-games without any shame, lying is already a skill that comes easily to him.

  "Don't worry about this, Xiao Jie, because I can guarantee that all the classmates in the new environment are very good people!" Little Meng teacher thought of those mischievous but considerate students in her class who were fond of her and happily introduced them to Jie Lü Chūyè while spinning around on the spot.

  "Is that so? Well, I'm really looking forward to it then." If only that unfortunate boy hadn't been controlled by his sister and double-handedly manipulated.

  Come on and give me some recommendation votes!!!!!!! If there are no recommendations or collections, I'll lose the motivation to update!!!!!
