I have no intention of falling behind on my studies simply because I'm in another world. I have a particular interest in chemistry, so we'll be starting with that. Those interested in a group should reply so we can discuss a time.

[ He really does mean chemistry, this isn't some kind of ass-backward call for moonlacing, please study science with him. ]

I also need a haircut. Are there any recommended, licensed stylists available?

[ Someone talk him out of the haircut he has zero taste it will go badly. He pushes up his glasses as if he's confident this is the clear path.

Also, in the background of the video there is a ominous looking chair. He does not feel the need to address it. ]

[Ah, but he likes Midorima's hair how it is... He doesn't care about chemistry and he'll shelf the topic of that chair for now, but first he's on a mission. Think, Eichi, think... what would make Midorima want to change his mind about this the most?]

Ehh? Midorima-kun, you're finally going to do something about that messy hair of yours? I have a number of connections, so I could find you someone to give you a handsome haircut, you know?

[ Eichi, your friend is a nerd, sorry. His favorite topics are chemistry and biology. He reads quantum physics books recreationally. ]

My hair isn't messy, it's just too long. I already know which cut I want.

[ He doesn't know the name of it but he can describe it, or perhaps sketch it out. ]

[finethanks]

It's entirely messy. I can hardly see your eyes.

[Criticizing it is hard when he actually finds it charming...]

Which cut do you want? Will you show me?

[accurately]

Actually, I was thinking the same. The cut I want has shorter bangs.

[ Give him a moment. Midorima finds a notepad and then draws something akin to this and holds it up. ]

[finethanks]

[Eichi's first response to that is a muffled start to a laugh, of course.]

Pfft—

[The hair... the drawing?! Don't do this to him.]

[accurately]

What?

[ He likes this haircut!? ]

[finethanks]

How shall I say this... It's as if you intend to hit the basketball with that broad forehead of yours, I suppose?

[Why try to arrange the words politely when the message itself is rude.]

[accurately]

I have no intention of inviting a concussion.

[ That just sounds like a bad idea!! >:| and yes he is totally serious ]

[finethanks]

So then you're looking to receive kisses on the forehead, perhaps?

[His real first thought was "picking a haircut like that, I wondered if you might already have one" but he resisted.]

[accurately]

[ He Regrets. He doesn't want forehead kisses. This haircut is a bad idea. Maybe back home it's fine, but here it's dangerous. He won't admit to this sudden revelation, so instead Eichi gets: ]

You can't reach my forehead even if you wanted to do that.

[finethanks]

[Score.]

There are times when you lean down, aren't there? Besides that, I can wear heels. I'm not that much shorter than you, you know? Even if you are unusually large...

[accurately]

You're at least 16cm shorter than me, I doubt you can find heels that significant.

[ Or if he can, he doubts he can walk in them so easily. He'll just never bend down again near Eichi. It's decided. ]

It's not that unusual in basketball. I know at least four others taller than myself. You should meet Murasakibara, he's another 13cm above my height.

[finethanks]

[He's going to joke about how he will find a way, but—]

That much taller? How terrifying... No one in Yumenosaki Academy's basketball club even comes close.

[accurately]

If you encounter him, just give him a snack and he'll behave. Don't give him anything that will make crumbs, or you'll have to push him to clean them up.

[ Somewhat, anyway. Despite being the shorter one, Midorima was essentially team dad. Murasakibara was team giant baby. Now he's not on Midorima's team, so he's someone else's (Himuro's) giant baby.

Also yes, that means he's here. Many of Midorima's old teammates her here. None of his current ones, though. ]

[finethanks]

Ehh... How many classmates of yours are here now?

[accurately]

None of my classmates, only former middle school classmates. Akashi, Kise, Aomine, and Murasakibara.

[ The entire Generation of Miracles was reunited, except for the Phantom 6th member. ]

[finethanks]

Oh. A couple of those names sound familiar... Like Akashi-kun.

I'm going to note these down and see if they'll tell me any interesting stories about your middle school days. ♪

[accurately]

They aren't likely to tell you anything you would find interesting.

[ Okay, there are plenty of stories, but Aomine is too lazy to share with strangers and Murasakibara is lazy and probably a bad story teller. Kise might but Kise might also get whiny about why is Midorima making friends when he still won't with him?? And Akashi will preserve his dignity. Probably. He won't embarrass him purposely, anyway.

Essentially, Midorima feels much safer about this with Teiko members here than Takao, who would have no problem sharing the Adventures of the Shin-chan. ]

[finethanks]

Really? I suppose we'll have to see about that, won't we?

[He can't wait. Everyone has a price, in one way or another, so he's going to get some juicy dirt yet.]

[accurately]

[ Yeah just get Aomine some porn mags and he'll tell, probably. God knows what he'll tell but he'll tell something ]

Perhaps I'll take Aoba's suggestion and grow my hair out instead.

[ Midorima knows this is the wrong answer. It works for Aoba, it would not work for Midorima. But at this point he just wants to be petty with Eichi. ]

[finethanks]

Ehh, you'd take Tsumugi's advice over mine? That's not fair, Midorima-kun.

[He says, not minding in this case at all... But somehow, he still is genuinely bothered at that. What a baby.]

I wonder if he also encouraged that chair purchase.

[accurately]

Aoba is more reasonable than you.

[ Neener neener. Who is the child here? ]

That is today's lucky item.
