Crayon Shin-chan: As someone who's traveled through time, all I want is a huge reward!

"Xiao Ai talked to me!"

Sato Masao, who was teased by Otome Ai, was not unhappy at all.

Instead, her face flushed slightly, and she said with a hint of intoxication.

His sycophantic manner sent chills down the spines of Nohara Shinnosuke and the others standing nearby.

"Masao is disgusting... He's like a melodramatic soap opera in the morning."

Shinnosuke Nohara whispered in Toru Kazama's ear.

Kazama Toru pushed Nohara Shinnosuke away from his ear with disgust. No matter how many times this "whispering in his ear" behavior happened, he still couldn't get used to it.

"Xiao Ai, may I call you that, teacher?"

Lin Yu ignored the antics of the few kids and instead looked at Ai Sootome with a smile.

"Okay, Teacher Lin, you can just call me Xiao Ai."

Ai Sōotome, who had just been disdainful of Masao Satō, was now unusually obedient in front of Lin Yu.

Looking at the innocent little girl in front of him, Lin Yu felt a little out of place, as if the next second he would call out "Little Ai" and Ai would reply "I'm here".

"I appreciate Xiao Ai's kindness, but I'm not doing this job at the kindergarten for the money, but because of my interests and hobbies."

Lin Yu spoke with a smile, his tone very gentle.

"That's right, Teacher Lin is a famous novelist. She didn't become a teacher for the money at all."

Kazama Toru raised his head and spoke to Otome Ai with a hint of smugness in his voice.

“A well-known…novelist?” Ai Sootome looked at Lin Yu with slight hesitation.

"What type of works does Professor Lin write? Classicism? Or Romanticism?"

Hearing Ai Sootome's words, Lin Yu suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Compared to much of world literature, light novels are simply not up to par.

"It's not traditional literature, it's light novels."

Fortunately, it's nothing serious, Lin Yu said with a smile to Ai Sootome.

"Light...novels?"

A look of doubt flashed in Ai Sootome's eyes.

As a daughter of a wealthy family, she received a very strict upbringing from childhood.

She has read many literary works, but when it comes to light novels, she's really not familiar with them.

She prefers reading purely for leisure and relaxation, especially popular science books like those on scientific knowledge.

It's fair to say that I've basically never watched any entertainment.

"Kuroki, what kind of literature is light novel?"

Ai Suotome waved to Kuroki beside her and asked, puzzled.

Kuroki, holding a phone in his hand, ran over quickly and introduced it to Ai Sootome.

"Miss, light novels are a popular and entertaining genre of literature that uses a popular writing style to effectively convey the story to readers and usually employs comic-style illustrations. 'Light novels' can be understood as 'novels that are easy to read'."

Ai Sootome nodded thoughtfully. "Simply put, they're like folk tales or something, right?"

"Yes, that's it."

"It's not that simple!"

Sakurada Nene was displeased when she heard Otome Ai's words and retorted.

"Teacher Lin's work is currently being serialized and is very famous!"

"It's not some ordinary folk tale!"

Upon hearing this, Ai Sootome ignored Nene Sakurada and turned to look at Lin Yu.

"Mr. Lin, could you tell me where your work is currently being serialized?"

"At Fujikawa Bunko."

As soon as Lin Yu finished speaking, Ai Sootome said to Kuroki.

"Blackie, check if our family owns any shares in Fujikawa Bunko."

"Please wait a moment, Miss."

With just that one simple sentence, the noisy little kids were instantly silenced.

Lin Yu couldn't help but sigh inwardly, 'Is this the kind of power the rich have?'

A moment later, Kuroki spoke to Ai Sootome on his phone.

"Young Miss, we've already investigated and found no shares in Fujikawa Bunko. However, if you're willing, we can consider this matter, but we'll need to report to the Master first..."

Upon hearing this, Ai Suotome pulled out a small pink cell phone from somewhere and said to Lin Yu with a smile.

"Teacher Lin, since you are so talented in this area, there is no need for you to be a teacher. I will arrange a special office for you to write light novels from now on."

For Ai Suotome, Lin Yu was like a beloved toy that a child would encounter.

When other children encounter this situation, they often cry and make a scene to get their parents to grant their wishes, or promise them something in return, such as getting a perfect score on a test.

But Ai Sootome's situation was much simpler; in her eyes, it was no big deal at all.

Just like the reason she came to this kindergarten was because of Shinnosuke Nohara.

Lin Yu's appearance directly diverted her attention.

"Teacher Lin, you can't leave!"

The children, who had been standing in neat rows ready for PE class, burst into tears upon hearing Ai Sootome's words.

In an instant, the entire playground was in complete chaos.

"Children, don't cry..."

The teachers of the three classes immediately became busy, running around trying to coax the children.

Seeing this, Lin Yu squatted down and reached out to pat Ai Sootome's little head.

"Xiao Ai, thank you for your kindness. However, as I mentioned before, I'm here because of my interest and hobby, not for anything else. So it's better if you don't act like this."

If Lin Yu initially took this job to make a living, now it's truly because he loves these children.

Compared to unruly children in real life, these kindergarten kids are so much more obedient.

Even Hejian Bao, who seems to be a villain in the original work, is actually quite docile.

Lin Yu had developed feelings for these children who didn't require much care after spending so much time with them.

Besides, he is now basically financially independent, with a steady stream of wealth flowing into his pocket. All he needs is a little time, so there is no need for him to agree to Ai Sootome's request.

"Eh?"

"But wouldn't it be better to earn more money?"

Ai Suotome didn't quite understand Lin Yu's choice.

From childhood, the education she received was based on capitalist principles, where everything was about profit above all else. Naturally, she couldn't understand why Lin Yu would give up this opportunity.

If things were done as she suggested, even if Lin Yu's writing wasn't that good, she could still get the publisher to push it.

This will definitely allow Lin Yu to make a fortune.

"Sometimes, it's best to be happy. Not everything should be about making money."

Chapter 182 Teacher Lin, please be my tutor!

"Classmates, your teacher won't leave. I'll continue to be your PE teacher here, so please be good and don't cry."

"The most obedient children will receive prizes from the teacher later!"

Upon hearing Lin Yu's words, the children who had been making a ruckus immediately quieted down.

Lin Yu did not disappoint them. With a gentle wave of his hand, many small gifts appeared in his hand.

"What amazing technique!" Ai Suotome watched Lin Yu's movements, treating it as a magic show, and exclaimed with great surprise.

"This isn't some kind of trick..."

Kazama Toru extended an index finger and shook it, looking like an experienced person, wanting to make his presence known to Otome Ai.

"It's a superpower!"

"Teacher Lin has superpowers! He can conjure all these things out of thin air, and he's incredibly powerful, like a superhero. He can defeat many bad guys all by himself, and he also wears a very cool suit of armor..."

Sato Masao didn't even need Ai Ootome to say anything; she just silently clung to him for a glance, and then, revealing her sycophantic nature, she spilled everything out like beans from a bamboo tube.

It's safe to say that they've almost completely exposed Lin Yu's true colors.

Lin Yu didn't care much about this little "traitor".

I already knew what kind of personality Masao Sato had when I watched anime before.

Especially when he cries, the comments section is basically filled with the words "lung fog".
