"Isn't your dream just as ridiculous as being a 'just partner'?" Hirai Aoi smiled deliberately, the tip of her red-soled high heels lightly poking Kuriyama Mai's calf.
He didn't care about this provocation, he only clenched his fists, his fierce eyes glowed like a lion, but his voice was terrifyingly calm.
"Teacher, I'm afraid you don't know that sense of fulfillment."
"Oh~ Mr. Huang Mao, who is sick in his second year of high school, let's hear it." Hirai Aoi's subtle voice sounded like she was waiting for him to make a fool of himself.
Kuriyama Mai paused and said seriously:
"Teacher, you also said yesterday that it is difficult for people to understand each other, so it is difficult for you to understand the feeling of being baptized by the holy light after helping others. .”
"Hmm~ Really? But if you were in the same situation as Kasuga-san, would you still persist?"
"I'm only interested in helping others. It doesn't matter how others treat me in return. When others realize their dreams, I also achieve self-realization."
An emotionless smile appeared on Hirai Aoi's lips, and she also changed her raised calf.
"Since you are so insistent, I would like to ask, what if there is a conflict? Since Huang Maojun only wants to protect something as abstract as other people's dreams, what if one part of the population must be sacrificed to realize the other?"
"Teacher, are you talking about the trolley problem?"
Hirai Aoi nodded with interest and added:
"What if there is a conflict between the two people you want to protect? If one person's dream comes true, the other person will fail, or if one person gives birth to another person, the other person will die..."
"Is this so..." Kuriyama Mai looked at her bright red lips and thought for a while before saying:
"At that point, my body will naturally give the answer, just like tossing a coin. When the coin is in the air, you will know whether you want heads or tails."
"Then what you mean is that you won't protect all dreams." Hirai Aoi said with raised eyebrows.
Kuriyama Mai helplessly spread his hands:
"Of course, if you can protect one, you are one, and I am willing to live for it. As for the dreams that are not protected...well...people's abilities always have an upper limit. Even I can't expect everything to go smoothly."
After hearing this, Hirai Aoi burst into laughter and said:
"You are really cute... I thought you would say something like 'I want to protect everyone no matter what,' but I didn't expect you to be surprisingly pragmatic."
Even if all the capabilities of this system reach S level, there is no guarantee that it will be able to protect everyone's dreams, Kuriyama Mai thought secretly in his heart.
"But you lack some of the persistence that you should have at your age, Mr. Huang Mao. You shouldn't be so compromising now. Where is that youthful spirit that is not afraid of anything?"
"Have you never had a dream about protecting everyone by yourself?"
Hirai Aoi said with a smile as if she was just watching the excitement and was not taking it too seriously.
Kuriyama Mai only felt that apart from her violence and chest, she was really not as calm as a mature teacher should be, so he said seriously:
"Of course I have had dreams, but not just by myself, but by thousands of people like me."
"Everyone is for one, and I am for everyone. Teacher, can you understand? A just friend cannot protect justice."
"In this case, even if there is a tram problem, everyone will be willing to sacrifice."
Hirai Aoi suddenly stopped smiling, her eyes turned sharp, and she asked in surprise:
"Then what will Mr. Huang Mao decide to do if he wants to realize your dream?"
Kuriyama Mai looked at her calmly and said:
"I just need to be a simple seeder. Success doesn't have to depend on me, at some point in the future, or if this dream can truly come true."
However, Hirai Aoi curled her lips and shook her head as if pretending to be young:
"It's boring. You still lack the energy of a sixteen-year-old. You talk like an old man and say, 'I don't have to take credit for the success.' Hahahahahahaha."
Kuriyama Mai looked at her bright smile and said with a fake look:
"Whatever the teacher thinks, that's what I think now anyway. If I don't have anything else to do, I'll go back to the classroom first."
Teacher Hirai seemed to have remembered something and immediately said:
"Are there no other dreams?"
Kuriyama Mai was too lazy to give her a good look, and said impatiently:
"If I choose another option, I would completely destroy the XX Shrine and let those shameless rightists die."
Since I was a Chinese in my previous life, I must avenge myself if I have the chance.
"Hahahahahaha~" Teacher Hirai's laughter became more and more unrestrained, and the surprised looks from other teachers in the office did not make her restrain herself.
"You finally have some youthful energy now. What you just said was too old-fashioned."
Kuriyama Mai just shrugged his shoulders:
"Of course it would be best to achieve both. I will go to class first."
Kuriyama Mai didn't wait for the innocent teacher to respond, and immediately turned around and left.
"Hey, Huang Maojun, please don't be late for the afternoon club meeting. Your application for joining the club has been approved."
"I know." He didn't even look back, but lazily raised his hand to signal.
Even if the teacher doesn't remind him, he will still be on time. After all, that cold and beautiful girl doesn't even have a cosplay bunny girl yet.
But Teacher Hirai excitedly ran to his ear and whispered:
"The only person who can 'save' her who is too persistent is you, Xiaomai."
She didn't call him Huang Mao, but called him by his name affectionately.
Kuriyama Mai turned around in surprise. Teacher Hirai only left him a meaningful smile and pushed him out of the staff room with a palm.
Does such a beautiful girl need to be rescued? Although Kuriyama Mai feels that her thoughts are a bit biased, it can be said that it is very rare for her to grow up in the capitalist upper class society.
In short, let's be her friend first. If it can help realize her dream, it will be a good experience.
————
As soon as the bell rang in the afternoon, Kuriyama Mai flew out of the classroom like an arrow. He ran all the way through the teaching building, sports field, activity building, and a long pavilion corridor. The quaint red brick building appeared in front of him again. In front of you.
Kuriyama Mai originally wanted to meet her by chance on the way here, so as to warm up the relationship in advance, but he didn't see her the whole way, but he didn't lose heart, thinking in his mind:
"It should be my turn to wait for you this time."
When he reached the door of the activity room, he pushed it open without ceremony. It was not locked. Before he could think too much, a cold and arrogant voice came to him.
"You can't even knock on the door? You're a pervert!"
Kasuga Chinatsu, who was reading the book seriously in the same posture as yesterday, rolled her eyes at him, and returned to the library book in the next moment.
Seeing the black tea already brewed on her table, Kuriyama Mai asked in surprise:
"Haruhi-kun, aren't you in class? I thought I would be the first to arrive."
Kasuga Chinatsu raised her head and glanced at the clock in the activity room, but didn't look at Kuriyama Mugi.
"Oh, is that so? I can forgive you for a moment."
"The teacher's lecture today was very superficial. I felt there was no need to listen, so I came over early."
Hey, you skipped class so confidently, I feel like you are more of a delinquent than me.
But looking at her impeccable appearance, Kuriyama Mai didn't complain much. He sat down on the seat opposite her and pretended to take out the homework assigned by the teacher today.
"Would you like black tea?" Unexpectedly, Kasuga Chinatsu asked him first.
"I have a job to do, minister." Now he replied as a matter of course.
After all, as the first member of this club, the minister should show some welcome attitude.
But Chinatsu Kasuga just turned over a page of the book quietly and said coldly:
"Go and soak by yourself~"
"I only drink tea made by the minister."
"abnormal!"
Kasuga Chinatsu finally raised her ice-like eyes and stared at him.
