Chapter 6: Ch 6
During their conversation a thought flashed to Tadano's mind.
If he is gonna go all out on helping Komi he must set and reach "that", yes, that main goal. He then pressed his chalk and wrote in the blackboard.
[Say Komi-san what's your dream?]
When Komi saw this she hesitated a bit before she wrote what her dream is.
[I want to have 100 friends]
"Pfft- Ahahaha!"
[Please don't laugh]
When komi heard his laugh she can't help but scowl a bit to him. Tadano wipe his tears and his chuckles died down and he wrote.
[That's it? that was a simple yet fulfilling dream Komi-san]
[What about you? What is your dream?]
[Oh my dream huh...]
When he reincarnated he did feel a bit alienated when he woke up in another reality but considering how his life turned out to be in his previous world he quickly adapted and set a new goal for himself and vowed to never repeat his wrongdoings again.
[My dream is to stand at the top the world and....]
[And?]
Tadano put down the chalked and smirked and looked at Komi in her eyes and spoke in the most decisive tone.
"To help Komi-san achieve 100 friends. May I be your friend?"
"..."
Komi was speechless literally, finally someone became her friend for the first time since she was young, because of that she can't help but stare at Tadano with a tint of red hue adorning her cheeks.
[Why would you help someone like me?]
"Ah, probably because I won't be able sleep tonight if I refuse to help a cute girl in need" he said nonchalantly.
It's the final straw, something snapped out of Komi her face madly blushed up to the tip of her ears but this time her temperature rose this is also the first time someone called her cute straight to her face and with a wide eyes she slowly backed out.
The big white moon had already ascended and came with it a beautiful and gentle moonlight that illuminated the class and highlighted the blushing face of Komi Shouko.
The scene is straight up from the manga that it tugged a string to Tadano's heart and he couldn't help but picture her as the goddess of the moon.
Tadano suddenly realized what he just said, sometimes he just says whatever is in his mind when he gets taken in by the flow and doesn't think too much about it and as a result it bit his ass.
"Uhh Komi-san?"
Komi suddenly ran out of the classroom with her hand in her chest. Tadano chose not to chase her and he stayed in the class, he too got flustered and with a troubled expression he slammed his head once on the board and pondered.
"That was too overbearing huh....AHHHH WHY DID I SAY THAT!!!!" Tadano kept on slamming his head on the board.
He tried to sweep it under the rug but the cringeworthiness hit him like a truck....well even in his past life he has no experience with women not even hand holding except his mother, no wonder he did not care about his past life.
After his tantrums he took his stuff and went home autonomously he looks so stiif like a robot walking that some passerbys felt strange when looking at him.

At the Komi residence.
Komi is sprawling on her bed with her back facing the ceiling and her face facing the pillow when suddenly she thought about what happened earlier her heart thumped loudly.
"Cute girl, cute girl, cute girl"
She got hyperfixated on the word "cute" that she didn't hear someone was calling for her name all she could think of was that scene.
Her ears blushed again and she can't help but grip the pillow and kick her feet madly on the bed making a mess on it when she turned her head sideways she saw her mom on the door smirking and wearing a mischievous expression.
Her mother rushed down eagerly like she can't wait but tell a good piece of news to her familly, Komi of course rushed to her too to prevent her from spreading whatever news her mother made.
It seems like Tadano's words will live rent free in Komi's head from now on.

At Tadano's household.
Tadano is still a robot, a new dark history(or not) has been etched to his life that will stay for later generations.
