Nothing happened that night; Kotori Itsuka did not launch a night raid. The next morning, Toki and Kotori Itsuka had breakfast and then went to school together.

One went to school, and the other went to register for school.

As I stepped out of the building, I was surprised to find a drowsy person standing outside. He had long bangs and dark circles under his eyes that were visible even from a distance, despite wearing glasses.

"Tatsu-kun, Kotori, good morning... Haa~" Murasame Reine couldn't help but yawn before she could finish her greeting.

“Oh, good morning, Reine,” Kotori Itsuka replied cheerfully.

"Chen Jun?" Shi Chen blinked in confusion.

"Yesterday I heard Kotori call you 'Brother Chen,' so..." Murasame Reine explained, then tilted her head and asked, "Or should I call you 'Brother Chen' too?"

"...No need, but why are you here, Murasame-san?"

"Just call me Lingyin. I'm here with you to report for duty today."

"Come with me?"

“Oh right.” Kotori Itsuka explained with her hands on her hips, “Just in case you don’t understand anything, I let Reine come along. And she also got into Tokyo Raizen High School, and she’s a physics teacher.”

"real or fake?"

"Can't you tell?" Murasame Reine stood up straight and asked in return, the little black cat doll in her breast pocket still sticking its head out.

"No... I can't tell at all."

"Is that so?" Murasame Reine seemed a little disappointed.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore, let's hurry to school."

"Can't we use the Fraxinus battleship to teleport? I'd like to try it too."

"Brother Chen, don't think about it. They haven't gotten up yet."

"All right......"

The school wasn't far, and with the help of Kotori Itsuka and the others, they arrived quickly.

"Brother Chen, I'm going to the middle school now. If you have any questions, just ask Reine," Kotori Itsuka said worriedly.

"Can't you have a little faith in me?" Shi Chen shook his head.

"Hmph~ Let's talk about it when Brother Chen can win over an elf."

"..."

Bye-bye~ See you at noon~

"See you at noon... Hmm? Are you coming at noon?"

"Of course, what about the special training we were promised?"

"......All right."

"I'm leaving~" Kotori Itsuka turned and walked towards the junior high school, her light and cheerful figure exuding youthful energy.

"Chen-kun, stop looking, let's go," Murasame Reine said calmly.

"it is good."

Following the sound of the village rain, we turned left and right, passed several buildings, and arrived at the office building.

To his surprise, the reporting process was very relaxed. The principal didn't say anything, just confirmed his identity, and he was hired directly.

His identity was also taken care of by Kotori Itsuka.

Leaving the office building, he was still a little uncertain. He had to admit, having connections was definitely an advantage.

"Chen Jun, next you just need to introduce yourself to the students in Class 4 of the second grade. But we have a PE class today, is that alright with you?"

"Lingyin, why don't you have confidence in me either?" Shichen sighed.

“I believe in you, Chen-kun.” Murasame Reine looked at him calmly.

"Really? Thanks."

"Let me take you to the classroom office first, so you can get to know everyone."

"Okay... huh?"

"what happened?"

Following Shichen's gaze, Murasame Reine looked toward the school gate.

At this time, many students had already arrived, and among them, a girl with short white hair was walking slowly.

Chapter 163 Origami Tobiichi

"Ok?"

The white-haired girl seemed to sense something and looked towards Shi Chen and the others. When she saw Shi Chen, she froze, and then her calm eyes seemed to light up.

Without hesitation, she walked towards them.

She was a slender girl with short white hair that almost reached her shoulders, and her doll-like appearance was her most distinctive feature.

Anyone with a normal sexual orientation would definitely fall in love with her at first sight.

In fact, almost all the men around him were watching him.

"Chen-kun, do you know him?" Murasame Reine asked calmly.

"Well... I guess you could say we know each other, but this is only the second time I've seen her, and we probably haven't even spent a minute together."

"?" Murasame Reine tilted her head, puzzled.

Shi Chen didn't explain much before the white-haired girl arrived in front of him.

"Is that Brother Shi?" the girl asked anxiously and uncertainly.

"Yuan Yi?" Shi Chen blinked.

"It's me! Thank goodness, I've finally met you!" Origami Tobiichi excitedly grabbed Tokishi's hand, as if confirming his authenticity, holding it tightly.

Although her tone and actions suggested she was agitated, her expression remained calm and expressionless.

It's like a girl with no sense of purpose, no emotions, and no feelings, but it's not like she's born that way; rather, it's a kind of numbness.

"Uh... have we met before?" Shi Chen couldn't help but ask, seeing her behavior that resembled sexual harassment.

"Brother Shi, have you forgotten? You're my savior!"

"My savior...could it be someone from five years ago?"

"Brother Shi really remembered!" Origami Tobiichi finally smiled.

"...How did I save you?" Shi Chen asked curiously.

"Brother Shi, are you pretending to be confused? You saved me and my parents back then. I will never forget this kindness! I will repay you with my whole life!" Origami Tobiichi gripped Shichen's hand even tighter.

"Don't exaggerate. It's good that you and your parents are alright."

Shi Chen frowned slightly. If he had saved her parents, why would she have joined AST?

This shouldn't be the case.

"Hmm..." Origami Tobiichi then revealed a sad expression.

Seeing this, Shi Chen frowned even more and quickly asked, "What happened? Could it be your parents...?"

“My mom and dad have disappeared…” Origami Tobiichi confessed.

"Missing? How could that be? Does that mean you haven't seen them for the past five years?"

"Yes, no matter what, I must find them!"

Origami Tobiichi looked at Toki with a determined gaze: "So, big brother Toki, I can't repay you wholeheartedly yet. Once I find my parents, then I will..."

"No, no, no." Shi Chen interrupted her, "You don't need to think about repaying me. I saved you back then, definitely not for your repayment."

"Brother Shi..."

"Our primary goal right now is to find information about your parents, and I will help with that as well."

"Really?" Origami Tobiichi looked at him with a delighted expression, her delicate, doll-like face upturned.

"You've already called me big brother, how could I not help you?" Shi Chen smiled gently, reached out to rub her head, but stopped halfway.

This is a bad habit of yours; why do you always want to touch a girl's head?

To his surprise, Origami Tobiichi took her hand and placed it on her head.

A hint of longing appeared on her expressionless face: "How I miss it..."

"..." Shi Chen couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

Well, it seems I can't change this bad habit of mine; I actually patted Origami Tobiichi's head when she was little.

But you can't blame him; it's just that his hands wouldn't obey him and had their own ideas.

I'll chop it up sooner or later.

"Uh... speaking of which, do you have any news about your parents?" Shi Chen noticed that many students around them were looking at them, and promptly withdrew his hand.

Origami Tobiichi's face showed a brief expression of regret. She replied, "I'm not entirely sure, but it's definitely related to her!"

When she mentioned "her," she showed a serious expression, but it wasn't the resentment that Shi Chen had been worried about, which reassured him a little.

Although he didn't understand why he hadn't completely saved Origami Tobiichi's parents, as long as it didn't cause a blood feud between them, that was fine.

"Who is she?" Shi Chen asked.

Origami Tobiichi shook her head: "I'm sorry, I can't tell you, Brother Shi."

"...How can I help you if you don't tell me? Are you hiding something from me?"

"I'm sorry... I'm glad you have this thought, Brother Shi. I will find information about my parents."

"Sigh." Shi Chen shook his head and sighed, not pressing her further: "These past five years have been tough for you."

An eleven-year-old girl, who has been alone and helpless for five years, has been trying to find news about her parents all by herself. It's heartbreaking to think about.

“Brother Shi, it’s not hard work for our parents.” Origami Tobiichi gently shook her head.

"Good girl." Shi Chen patted her head again from the bottom of his heart.
