Teacher Xia Lai is also teaching in Kivotos today

Lin En, who was standing nearby with his back against the railing enjoying the breeze, smiled and said softly after seeing Xiang's expression.

"Well, thank you, Teacher Lin En!"

However, what Lin En, who was looking at the night view in the distance, did not notice was that Xiang's face, who was eating his "bento", suddenly turned red.

Although Lin En didn't notice her appearance, the girl still lowered her head involuntarily.

"Um... Teacher Lin En..."

Lin En, who was brought back to his senses by Xiang's voice, turned around and saw Xiang handing him an empty lunch box.

Seeing this, Lin En nodded slightly, walked to the girl, and prepared to take the lunch box and put it back into the bag.

However, just as he came in front of Xiang, he found that the scenery reflected in the girl's eyes was not only the night view of Millennium Science and Technology Academy, but also his own face which was getting closer and clearer.

Almost the next moment, a soft touch came from his lips.

"Well... well... I've already told the seniors in the engineering department that I won't be going home tonight... So, I might have to stay overnight at the teacher's place..."

When Lin En heard the girl's soft and gentle voice, he was stunned for a moment.

However, after quickly reacting and understanding the meaning of Xiang's words, he did not immediately ask the other party with low EQ "Are you sure you want to do this?", but smiled, reached out his hand, and gently touched her head.

The girl's red face naturally showed her mood at the moment. Even so, she still stood in front of him, and didn't seem to intend to escape.

"In that case... let's go."

Seeing Xiang nod slightly, Lin En packed the lunch box, took the girl's hand, walked down the stairs, and got on the motorcycle.

Amid the roar of the motorcycle, Lynn quickly took Xiang away from the Millennium Science and Technology Academy and returned to the gate of Xialai.

"It may be a little presumptuous, but... it's not too late to regret it now, right? Hibiki."

After hearing Lin En's question, Xiang, who was still sitting in the back seat with his cheek resting on his back, was silent for a moment before speaking.

"Because the teacher's ideas for inventions are very impressive, they have brought a lot of inspiration to me and the seniors in the engineering department... and he also takes good care of me and everyone else... and is very kind to me. So... it's okay for me."

Having said that, Xiang loosened his arms that were holding Lin En, and landed next to Lin En.

"I have never been a person who believes in fate. But from the moment I met the teacher... I began to thank fate."

Seeing the girl's genuine seriousness, Lin En nodded seriously and parked the motorcycle.

Then, amid Xiang's exclamation, Lin En picked up the girl like a princess and walked into the Xialai Building.

Chapter 67: Demon King’s City Xialai?

After preparing breakfast for everyone in the convenience house and Xiang who was still sleeping, Lin En came to the cafe.

Although the playground equipment was installed with Xiang's help yesterday, there was still a lot of wall dust and other debris on the ground due to the need to drill holes in the wall and move the equipment. Therefore, Lin En planned to clean it up a little in the morning.

After cleaning the floor, Lynn put the cleaning supplies back into the utility room and glanced out the window.

The weather today didn't seem to be very good. There was a dark cloud over Xialai, and the weather was gloomy. Although he was indoors, Lin En could still feel the heat outside, and it seemed that it might rain at any time.

"It looks like we won't be able to open this afternoon..."

Lynn muttered to himself as he returned to the bar and sorted out the bottles and jars of coffee beans, tea leaves and other things, sorting them one by one by category and placing them on the shelves.

However, at this moment, Alona's voice suddenly came from the tablet he placed aside.

"Teacher Lin En, there is a student standing at the door of Xialai right now, and he seems to be trying to break through the defense system on the door?"

Hearing this familiar voice, Lin En couldn't help but pause, then asked back with a little confusion.

"Can you find out the other party's identity?"

"Hmm... the girl is Chihiro from the Truth Club of Millennium Science Academy. It seems that she was asked by her classmates from the Engineering Club to come to the teacher to ask for someone."

Looking at the expressionless Alona on the screen, Lin En's expression suddenly became a little embarrassed.

"Well...if that's the case, you should at least contact me...right?"

"Hmm? I can't say. Maybe he thought the teacher was a big devil who would eat people without leaving any bones, so he tried to sneak into the Demon King's Castle to rescue Hibiki."

Listening to Alona's slightly sarcastic words, Lin En couldn't help but sneer.

Seeing Lin En's appearance, Alona looked helpless and sighed.

"Although I understand the teacher's thoughts, can you at least take my feelings into consideration? Or next time you do something like this, can't you put me in the office? I am still a girl after all? You put me on the bedside table like this, not only making me unable to sleep, but also forcing me to watch you and Xiang'discuss academics' until the early morning..."

Hearing this, Lin En was speechless and could only clasp his hands together and apologize to Alona repeatedly.

“Oh…really.”

Alona shook her head while saying this.

"We'll talk about this later. Teacher, you should go check on Chihiro first."

Hearing this, Lin En nodded slightly, took his tablet and mobile phone and walked downstairs.

But what surprised Lin En was that even though Chihiro, who was sitting on the flower bed next to the door, caught a glimpse of him through the gate, did not show any sign of stopping what she was doing, but continued to operate the laptop on her knees.

Between this laptop and the communicator at the Xialai gate, there are several data cables of different colors.

"Um... Chihiro-san, what are you doing?"

Facing Lin En who opened the door and came to her side, Chihiro just nodded slightly.

"Good morning teacher, as you can see I am testing the security system on this gate right now."

As Chihiro spoke, she hit the last enter key.

"After all, the safety of teachers is of utmost importance to us, whether it is physical safety or information security. For things like this, we can never relax on this issue at any time."

Seeing Chihiro say this after she put away her laptop and unplugged the data cable, Lin En couldn't help but scratch his cheek in embarrassment.

"Um...thank you?"

"Nothing, it's my duty."

After answering Lin En like this, Chihiro stood up and looked at Lin En with a smile.

"But what surprised me was that the security system of this gate is indeed very complete. At least according to my simple test just now, no one in Kivotos should be able to hack into this system within 20 minutes."

Faced with Qianxun's praise, Lin En didn't know what to say for a moment.

After all, the security system of the entire Xialai Building was under the charge of Alona, ​​which to some extent had nothing to do with him.

"Speaking of which, Chihiro, is there anything else that brings you here so early in the morning?"

Hearing Lin En's question, Qianxun was stunned at first, but then sighed helplessly.

"Teacher, have you forgotten that you once entrusted me to install a protection system for the game machines and beverage machines in your cafe? I heard that the engineering department had already delivered the equipment yesterday afternoon, so I came here with the control terminal I had written to test and install it."

"Oh... sorry, I just forgot."

Face to face with Lin En's apologetic look, Chihiro couldn't help but reveal a slightly helpless look.

Afterwards, Lin En brought Chihiro to the cafe which had just been cleaned.

Looking at the cat lazily lying on top of the game console, Chihiro, who had originally had a blank expression, couldn't help but smile.

"It looks like the teacher's cafe is more interesting than I thought."

"Well... I thought it might be a bit lifeless if everything was just machines, so I asked Kayoko to bring in some docile stray cats. But don't worry, they've all been vaccinated and cleaned."

"Yeah, that's right. You can never take anything lightly."

After nodding in appreciation, Chihiro reopened her laptop and turned to look at Lin En.

"Teacher Lin En, where are the terminals for these devices?"

After following Lin En through the hidden door behind the bar into the computer room, Qianxun took out a dozen data cables of various colors from her bag, which Lin En could hardly tell the difference between, and connected them to the computer in her hand.

In fact, Lin En originally thought about handing the management of this place over to Alona, ​​but he thought that this would mean too many things for Alona to manage or control. Even if the other party was an AI (as she claimed), he didn't want her to bear too much work.

What's more, this is also an opportunity to get closer to the students, especially this mysterious Ministry of Truth.

After all, I can't possibly trouble Alona for everything in the future, right? Although the probability is almost zero, if something unexpected happens to Alona, ​​then I will be completely blind at that time.

However, what surprised Lin En was that when he came back in with the coffee he had just brewed outside, Chihiro let out a sigh of relief and unplugged the data cables that had been plugged into the terminal.

Chapter 68 I will always support the teacher!

"Thank you for your hard work, Chihiro."

Lynn said as he handed over the coffee in his hand.

"Nothing... Ah, thank you, teacher."

When Chihiro saw the coffee in Lin En's hand, she showed a hint of surprise.

Lynn, who had keenly noticed this, asked apologetically when the girl took the cup.

"I'm sorry, but is it not to your taste?"

"No, I just didn't expect the teacher to know that I like coffee."

Chihiro said this, took a sip of coffee, and continued with a smile.

"And I personally really like plain black coffee without any toppings."

When Lin En took this information to heart, Chihiro turned her head and looked at the laptop computer placed on the ground, the screen filled with dense data streams that Lin En could not understand at all.

"According to the test I just performed, there is nothing wrong with the program I wrote. And after checking, there is no intrusion record in this terminal, and there is no strange virus. But..."

Seeing Chihiro seeming to want to say something but stopping herself from saying it, Lin En blinked in confusion.

"Is there something wrong?"

"I can't say there's a problem... it's just..."

Hearing Lin En's question, Qianxun sighed lightly and walked out of the computer room.

Full of doubts, Lin En followed her into the bar and came to the cash register and control terminal.

"Although you have a certain understanding and awareness of computers, but..."

After putting down the coffee cup, Chihiro reached out and took out a very tiny instrument from the shadow on the terminal.

"Uh...this is?"

Facing Lin En's surprise, Chihiro answered helplessly.

"I guess this is a new bug invented by Tama or Maki... I guess they used hacking to find out where the teacher purchased these machines and installed this in advance. I'm sorry, teacher. It's my negligence."

"This... shouldn't be a big deal, right? After all, I wouldn't talk about anything too important in a place like this..."

However, after hearing what Lin En said, Chihiro actually showed a serious expression.

"No, no, no... Teacher, you have to know that in a place like a cafe where people can relax, people often involuntarily leak some important information during conversation. This will not only lead to information leakage, but if it is obtained and analyzed by someone with ulterior motives, it is likely to cause a major crisis!"

Having said that, Chihiro stretched out her index finger and poked Lin En's chest, and spoke in an extremely serious tone.

"Please pay more attention to this, teacher, and take responsibility!"

"Uh... I see..."

After seeing Lin En's attitude, Qianxun could only sigh helplessly.

"Really... the teacher really went to great lengths to favor them..."

"NO, I have not……"

"No need, sir. Although it may seem that this is due to your negligence, as a Phantom Thief Joker who was able to plan and succeed in attacking the Millennium Tower, how could he not have noticed such a thing?"

"..."

Faced with Qianxun's words, Lin En couldn't help but be speechless.

In fact, just as Qianxun said, although Lin En didn't understand these things, he would ask Alona to check them after purchasing them. And the eavesdropping device was actually discovered when Lin En just got the terminal.

After Alona traced the data back to the Ministry of Truth, Lynn no longer took it to heart.

Anyway, this thing is not placed in his bedroom or bathroom, so he doesn't think it is an excessive behavior.

After all, he and the students were not enemies, and the students from the Ministry of Truth were not like those guys from Kronos Academy who jumped to conclusions and liked to exaggerate things and spread them everywhere, so he simply let them go.
