The title of the light novel is: ひげを[剃]{そ}る。そして女子高生{じょしこうせい}を拾{ひろ}う。
The English translation is: I shaved. Then I brought a high school girl home.
I get that not having the past tense in that title would sound weird in English, but does the original Japanese title imply the past tense? Or is the title originally supposed to be "I shave. Then I find a high school girl."?
Thank you
