Teacher Xia Lai is also teaching in Kivotos today

Moreover, in her subsequent "cooperation" with Lin En, although he not only looked a little unserious, but also the actions he took to fulfill the contract were a little hard to describe. But even so, he would definitely do what he promised her.

At this moment, Hinata suddenly discovered that, surprisingly, she didn't dislike this teacher...

"Well, I... I'm not saying that what the teacher said is a lie. It's just... I know better than anyone that I'm not lovable..."

In the middle of her words, Hina paused as she finally realized something.

Then, she looked at Lin En, who was sitting opposite her and looking at her with a smile, with a hint of helplessness and resentment.

"No, no! We are off topic, teacher! We were discussing Gehenna at the beginning!"

Looking at Hina who was looking at him angrily, Lin En smiled and nodded.

"That's right. Compared to having a stern face all day, I think Hina is cuter like this, right?"

"..."

After hearing what Lin En said, Hinai's words were immediately stuck in her throat. After a moment, she let out a helpless sigh.

"But regarding what Hinata just mentioned about Gehenna, I do have some thoughts, ok?"

Afterwards, Lin En began to tell the other party about his suggestions for Gehenna College, or the Disciplinary Committee, and followed this topic to put forward some interesting views and ideas for Hina.

"I see... I didn't expect the teacher to see it this way..."

Seeing Hinata nodding in thought, Lynn smiled and shrugged.

"It's just that I'm an adult after all, so this may not be something worth referring to."

"No... I think it is still very valuable for reference."

After putting down the cup of boiled water, Hina returned to her serious look.

"After all, we don't know adults very well, so we naturally can't understand what adults' perspectives are like... Thank you, teacher. I didn't expect that the same thing could have such different views."

"As long as my opinion can help Hinata, I'll be happy."

After that, the two chatted about many things, from Abydos to the Millennium Science and Technology Academy, to the heavy paperwork assigned to them by the Student Union...

By the time they finished their conversation, the sky had already turned dark and the cafeteria had become empty.

In the original plan, Lin En planned to take a short walk with Hina, and then rush back to Xialai to prepare for the amusement equipment that the engineering department would deliver tomorrow. But he knew very well that Hina was usually very busy. And now was her rare leisure time.

In that case, I might as well go back to Xialai and have a good rest.

Just as Lin En was about to speak, Hinata asked him first.

"Um... Teacher, do you want to go for a walk together?"

“…Hahahaha…”

Facing Hinata who was looking at him with a hint of surprise, Lynn chuckled and shook his head.

"Nothing, I just thought of some... funny things. But... let's save the walk for next time."

As Lin said this, he smiled and picked up the plate with Hina who looked confused.

However, just when Lin En was about to go to the kitchen to relive the experience of using the dishwasher, Fengxiang, who was finally free, quickly snatched away his plate and forcefully pushed him out of the cafeteria.

"Well, maybe I have to go through Chef Fengxiang's assessment again before I can work in the kitchen."

Lin En got on the motorcycle and shrugged helplessly, saying this to Hina beside him.

"But you've worked really hard today, Hina. Goodbye, little Hina."

"…Thank you for your help, Sensei. Goodbye."

Seeing Lin turning around and smiling at her, Hinata finally realized——

I actually really want the teacher to praise me and to spend more time with the teacher.

It was not only because the other party could give her better opinions and suggestions, but also because in front of Lin En, she felt as if she could take off the shackles she had put on herself called "Disciplinary Committee Chairman".

However, she was unwilling to show this, because she knew very well that doing so would definitely cause trouble for the teacher.

When she looked at the road leading to Xialai again, she could no longer see Lin En's back.

Looking at the quiet road in front of her, the girl couldn't help but sigh slightly.

Maybe, this is good.

Chapter 60: That coat seems to have no smell anymore...

"Huh... In this way, the preparations should be temporarily concluded."

After more than three hours, Lynn finally completed the preliminary layout of the Xialai Cafe.

The interior of Xialai itself has been simply decorated. With the help of Convenience House 68 and others, the walls of this area have also been painted with a layer of wave-patterned paint, which looks very eye-catching and beautiful.

Although he was not very clear about what else a coffee shop would need, Lin En still prepared a series of necessary items such as furniture and utensils according to the coffee shops he had visited and the introductions on the Internet. Not only that, he also "plucked" a few pots of weeds that looked pretty good from Haruka with a slightly tough attitude and placed them by the wall as decoration.

Regarding this point, Lynn explained it this way:

For students who are used to seeing beautiful potted plants, this ordinary green weed may have a miraculous effect.

After the furniture and simple utensils were prepared, Lynn bought some coffee beans, milk tea powder and other things that could be used to make drinks from a store he frequently visited in the storage room of the office and put them in different categories.

As for the placement of some decorative items, we have to wait until the engineering department delivers all the amusement equipment in the afternoon and then arrange them according to their locations.

Lin En was not very good at this. After all, he did not know much about these aspects and did not have high requirements. As long as it did not look annoying, it was fine. Therefore, when he wanted to hang the decorations up, he was stopped by the convenience house and others.

Not only that, he was pushed out of the cafe by Aryu and others, and they said that the subsequent decoration work would be left to them, and asked him and Kayoko to deal with the stray cats that they brought back from the neighborhood.

However, when Lin En pushed open the door and walked into the convenience store's office, Kayoko had already taken care of the stray cats.

“Although it is still unclear what the cafe opened by Teacher Lin En will look like in the future, I believe you stray kittens will be well taken care of here…”

Hearing Kayoko's mumbling, Lin En, who was about to greet her, couldn't help but chuckle and closed the office door.

"I'm afraid that from today on, you won't need my care anymore and will start a new life of your own..."

Although Kayoko's face could not be seen at this time, Lin En couldn't help but see the smile on the girl's face.

"Yeah, maybe they are just like you, Kayoko."

Hearing Lin En's sudden voice, Kayoko paused while stroking the cat.

As for the cats surrounding Kayoko, they looked at Lin En curiously, as if they were observing, or sizing up, this guy who would soon become their new master in a sense.

Not only that, there was even a "daring" cat that came up to him and started circling around him.

Seeing this, Lin En chuckled, held it in his arms, and came to Kayoko who turned around.

"But even so, they will definitely remember the person who braved the rain to bring them an umbrella and cat food, right?"

"It was just a spontaneous act of helping out..."

Although Kayoko said this, the answer to this question was clear from the tenderness in her eyes and the cats that were circling around her and rubbing against her calves affectionately.

"Good boy~ meow~"

While Kayoko was comforting the kittens, Lin En reached out and scratched the chin of the kitten in her arms.

“Even though you may have just put down some food when passing by, they will definitely remember your back. Maybe they have helped you make a choice, or let you see your true opinion.”

Looking at the kitten that looked very comfortable in Lin En's arms, Kayoko couldn't help but chuckle.

"Come to think of it, the first time I met the teacher, it was like a chance encounter..."

"Yes... At that time, you were separated from several other members and were chased by the Disciplinary Committee. So when you saw a car with the Supply Department logo printed on it on the side of the road, you jumped into the cockpit without hesitation and prepared to drive out."

As Lin En said this, he smiled and looked at Kayoko, who already showed a slightly embarrassed expression.

"As a result, when you broke into the cab and subconsciously raised your gun, you found that the person sitting in the driver's seat was not Fengxiang or Julie, whom you knew, but an adult you had never met before. But this is not surprising, after all, it was my first day working in the supply department."

Lin En also remembered that day very clearly. After all, it was his first job after joining the Supply Department - purchasing.

As a result, he had just sat in the car and hadn't even had time to warm his hands on the steering wheel when a student got into the passenger seat.

Originally he thought it was Julie or Fengxiang, but when he looked at each other, they were both stunned.

Fortunately, Lin En deduced something from the gunshots coming from outside and the footsteps getting closer and closer, and asked Kayoko to hide in the gap under the co-pilot seat, which made the members of the Disciplinary Committee who arrived later come to nothing.

Strictly speaking, this should be considered the first time he helped Convenience House 68 escape the pursuit of the Disciplinary Committee.

When Kayoko heard Lin En mention that incident, she couldn't help but reveal a slightly nostalgic look.

"Yeah... If the teacher hadn't taken off his coat to cover me up, I would have been discovered by the guys on the Discipline Committee."

However, when Lin En heard what Kayoko said, he couldn't help but frown slightly——

Because he always felt like he had forgotten something important, but now he couldn't remember it for a moment.

really weird.

--------

"Damn it... that teacher said he was here to get his coat, but he didn't even mention this..."

After throwing the archived documents in his hands onto the table as if to vent his anger, Yazi muttered to himself with a hint of complaint.

"That guy... is just here to give us a 'warning', right?!"

Looking around the Disciplinary Committee office which was empty except for herself, Yazi couldn't help but sigh.

Although this was a common scene for her as an executive of the Discipline Committee, this time, there was something different in her eyes.

After confirming that there was no one else in the office, Yazi hesitated for a moment and then smelled her clothes as if possessed.

"Tsk... that coat, it seems like it has no smell anymore..."

Chapter 61 We will always be by the teacher's side

"teacher?"

Hearing Kayoko's words, Lin En shook his head slightly and pulled his thoughts back.

"Sorry, I just couldn't help but think of what Kayoko looked like at that time."

Looking at Kayoko, whose face was slightly red, Lin En immediately chuckled.

"I'm so sorry... But I guess I must have looked very fierce at that time, right?"

"Hmm? She was a little bit fierce... but I actually thought Kayoko was pretty cool at that time."

"Ah... Teacher, you always say this kind of thing to your students."

However, facing Lin En's true thoughts, Kayoko seemed to have misunderstood and first sighed helplessly, then smiled helplessly, stretched out her hand, and gently poked Lin En's cheek.

"However, although the convenience house is now on a better path, we haven't separated yet, okay? So, your idea, teacher, is completely invalid."

Although Lin En already had a premonition about this, when he really faced Kayoko who said these words, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

"Ah... I knew the teacher would think that this kind of talk is inappropriate for me... But never mind. After all, apart from me, no one else in the convenience house would be able to express it so directly. Besides, this kind of talk has to be said sooner or later, so we might as well take this opportunity to say it now."

Speaking of this, Kayoko actually revealed a somewhat intriguing expression.

"The student Xiang who followed the teacher to Xialai to check the amusement equipment the day before yesterday is probably one of the teacher's supporters, right?"

Hearing Kayoko say this, Lin En couldn't help but laugh.

"Could it be that Kayoko-san has sensed a sense of crisis?"

"Sense of crisis? Maybe."

Unexpectedly, in the face of Lin En's half-joking and half-serious words, Kayoko admitted it without hesitation.

"But compared to this so-called sense of crisis, I just want to tell the teacher that none of us will ever forget the teacher... and don't say that we won't forget each other after we separate, because we will always be by the teacher's side."

As Kayoko said this, she reached out and tickled the kitten in Lynn's arms, then continued with a smile.

"Even if there is a short separation, we will always cling to the teacher like these children. So... Teacher, please don't disappear from our lives suddenly without a word, okay?"

Faced with these words that were almost like a confession, Lin En naturally would not be so low in EQ as to ask why. Rather than words, he would rather choose to take practical actions as an answer.

At that moment, Lin En gently hugged Kayoko, rested his chin on her shoulder, and spoke softly.

"We may not be able to meet for a while, but the feelings will never disappear. Not only for you...it's the same for me."

"Ah."
