Familiar ceiling~
Back in his own little room, looking at the countdown timer once again, Bai Mo instinctively glanced at the space within his Divine Eye.
Originally spanning over a thousand cubic meters, the space was now half-filled. Half of it was occupied by the supplies he had purchased, while the rest consisted of two Herbivorous Dragons he had secretly hunted during the last few hours before his return.
The meat of the Herbivorous Dragon was quite good, and it contained a considerable amount of energy. Bai Mo had already decided to make it his staple food for the foreseeable future!
The main reason was that Herbivorous Dragons reproduced quickly. There were hundreds of herds of varying sizes in the Ancient Forest, and losing a few wouldn't be a problem.
By the time Bai Mo stepped out of his room again, Kasugano Sora had already gotten dressed and was standing before him in her junior high school uniform.
"Onii-chan? What's wrong?" Kasugano Sora asked curiously, looking at Bai Mo.
She felt as if the way he had just looked at her was like he hadn't seen her in a long time.
But hadn't they just seen each other earlier?
Stupid Onii-chan even barged into a lady's room without permission and saw her all sleepy and disheveled!
Hmph~ Next time, next time I'll definitely wake up before you!
As she made this silent vow, Kasugano Sora unconsciously brushed off the look Bai Mo had given her earlier.
Maybe it was just her imagination~
Meanwhile, Bai Mo felt that he should probably keep a memo in his spatial storage.
With so many things happening across different worlds, he might end up forgetting something after returning.
A good memory wasn't as reliable as a written record—it'd be better to jot down what needed to be done.
Speaking of which…
What was he supposed to do in this world again?
After furrowing his brows and pondering for a few minutes, Bai Mo found himself already seated at the dining table.
Well, since things had come to this, he might as well eat breakfast first!
After finishing breakfast, Bai Mo noticed the prepared lunchboxes in the kitchen.
"Ah, right, Sora, I made your lunch. Don't forget to take it later~"
Hearing his words, Kasugano Sora went to the kitchen and stared at the two large three-tiered lunchboxes in disbelief.
"Onii-chan, are these both for me?"
"Ah~ One of them is mine!"
"But even one is too much for me to finish alone!" Kasugano Sora pouted. "Even though Onii-chan's cooking is really delicious~"
"You just made a new friend, Akarin, right? You can share it with her~"
"Hmph, no way! I want to eat Onii-chan's cooking all by myself!"
"Then you might end up stuffed!"
After settling the lunchbox debate, Bai Mo changed into his uniform and prepared to take Kasugano Sora to school.
Following their usual routine, they parted ways at the school gate. But instead of heading straight to his own school, Bai Mo first dialed a phone number.
Half an hour later, at a large slaughterhouse in Shinjuku, Bai Mo met a tanned, provocatively dressed gyaru.
"Hello, Bai Mo-san. I'm Mitarai Ikumi, sent by the Director to assist you with the handover!"
"Mm, thank you. Could you help me test the composition of these meats and check for any pathogens?"
"Understood, leave it to me!" Mitarai Ikumi took the cooler from Bai Mo and instinctively asked, "What kind of meat is this? Beef, or some other type of game?"
"Dragon meat," Bai Mo replied with a smile. "Want to try some?"
"Dragon meat?" Mitarai Ikumi frowned slightly.
In her expert opinion as a meat specialist, Bai Mo's so-called "dragon meat" was likely crocodile, Chinese flying dragon bird, or maybe even donkey meat.
So she didn't pay it much mind.
After handing over part of the ingredients to Mitarai Ikumi for testing, Bai Mo felt relieved that the ingredients he had brought out earlier didn't contain any viruses from another world.
But the prehistoric world of Monster Hunter was a different story—who knew what kind of pathogens those creatures carried that modern humans couldn't resist?
Once that was done, by the time Bai Mo rode his motorcycle to Sakuragaoka, he was, unsurprisingly, late.
Standing at 185 cm tall, with a muscular build and a motorcycle by his side, Bai Mo looked every bit the delinquent.
The security guard on duty didn't even dare approach him, simply saying, "Call your homeroom teacher to come get you."
Alright then~
Late on the second day of school and caught red-handed—Bai Mo could already picture Kotobuki Chitose's furious face.
And reality didn't disappoint.
After calling Kotobuki Chitose and explaining the situation, it didn't take long for her to arrive at the school gate in her uniform.
After apologizing to the guard, she led Bai Mo away.
Once they parked the motorcycle in the garage, Kotobuki Chitose immediately asked, "So, Bai Mo-kun, was there some emergency today?"
"Yeah, you could say that," Bai Mo nodded. "After dropping my little sister off at school, I had some business to discuss with the Mitarai Group under the Totsuki conglomerate."
As he spoke, he pulled out his phone and showed Kotobuki Chitose his chat logs with Mitarai Ikumi.
All the lectures she had prepared about studying hard to secure a good job in the future died in her throat.
What had she been thinking earlier?
Study hard to get a good job?
Bai Mo was already way beyond the point where he needed to work a regular job like an ordinary person!
After all, not just anyone could have dealings with the Totsuki Group or do business with the Mitarai Group!
Seeing Kotobuki Chitose at a loss for words, Bai Mo instead comforted her, "It's alright, Kotobuki-sensei. To you, I'm still just a student. After all, I came to this school to enjoy student life. For ordinary people, these might be the best years of their lives, don't you think?"
"Do you also want to sing of youth?"
"No, absolutely not! Improper relationships are strictly forbidden!"
"Huh?"
