Therefore, facing Chihiro's accusations, he was speechless for a moment.

As for the fact that he is the true identity of "Joker"...even Yuka could see it, so it's not surprising that Chihiro knows it.

"Ugh……"

Seeing Lin En's appearance, Chihiro sighed at first, but then said with a hint of apology.

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Lin. One of the reasons for my visit is to thank you. However, I hope you can pay more attention to your own safety. I believe that you will not complain."

"...I understand. Thank you, Chihiro."

Although Lin En said this, Chihiro, who understood something, sighed again and didn't say anything more.

"In short, I still hope that the teacher can pay more attention to himself."

Chihiro said this and picked up the cup and drank the coffee.

"I have other things to deal with, so I'll leave now. I'll bring the adjusted program over in a couple of days."

"Well...anyway, thank you, Chihiro."

In response to Lin En's thanks, Qianxun adjusted her glasses and said with a smile.

"After all, the teacher is so naive, I can't just leave him alone... uh, when I say can't leave him alone, I mean the teacher's safety!"

Looking at Chihiro with a slightly red face, Lin En couldn't help but chuckle.

"In short...in short, I will always support you! Okay, that's it! Goodbye, teacher!"

After that, before Lynn could say "goodbye", Chihiro quickly went into the computer room, then left the cafe like a flash, carrying her laptop and a rainbow of colorful data cables.

Looking at the data cables floating behind the girl like kite strings, Lin En couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

But before he could turn around and continue tidying up the bar, the bell hanging behind the cafe door rang.

"Um... Teacher? I seemed to see someone rushing out of the cafe just now?"

At this time, standing at the door of the cafe rubbing his eyes was Xiang, who had changed into freshly washed and dried clothes.

"It's Chihiro from the Ministry of Truth. She's here to help test the defense terminal for the mechanical equipment in the cafe."

"Chihiro-san...she is indeed a very good hacker."

After saying this, Xiang nodded and walked into the cafe, sitting on the high stool in front of the bar.

"You should have had breakfast, right?"

"Yeah, I've already eaten it...it was very delicious."

Looking at the smiling girl, Lin En felt that his mood had improved a lot.

"But... you still look a little unwell now. Rest here for a while and then I'll take you back."

"……Um."

Almost instantly, Xiang thought of something and lowered his head slightly, responding softly.

Chapter 69: Maybe it’s just the same style?

Just as Xiang was drinking the warm milk that Lin En brought her, the doorbell of the cafe rang again.

"Oh, good morning, everyone at the convenience store."

As Lin En spoke, Aruna, who was the first to walk into the cafe, also smiled and greeted Lin En behind the bar.

"Good morning, um...Ms. Lynn."

Although Aruna was able to greet him properly at first, when she looked at Lin En's face, she seemed to remember something and involuntarily had the urge to look away.

As a result, the morning greeting that should have been full of energy and momentum seemed a bit anticlimactic.

"Hey... Good morning, teacher."

After seeing Aru choose a remote seat to sit down, Kayoko sighed helplessly and somewhat disappointedly, and sat down on the high stool in front of the bar.

As for the position closest to Lin En, it was already occupied by Xiang who had arrived here early.

"Hoohoo, good morning, teacher."

At the same time, Mutsuki had already sat down unceremoniously with her handbag that she almost never left behind.

Haruka's eyes moved back and forth between Lin and Aru several times, then she nodded at Lin apologetically, ran towards Aru and sat next to her.

"Well, good morning, would you like something to drink?"

Seeing Lin En cleaning the bar and various containers skillfully, Kayoko immediately showed a slightly surprised expression.

"Could it be possible that the teacher can also mix drinks?"

"Well... I can, but you can't drink alcohol, okay? At least not now."

"Oh, oh, oh... Then when will the teacher let us drink?"

After hearing Mutsuki's half-joking, half-serious words, Lin En thought for a moment before answering.

"At least your convenience store has to have something special to celebrate. Of course, your move into Xialai doesn't count, and my cafe's preparations for opening don't count either."

"Tsk... that's really boring."

Seeing that Lin En saw through his thoughts at a glance, Mu Yue curled his lips in dissatisfaction.

"But... I didn't expect that Xiang-san would come so early to help the teacher check the equipment. Thank you, Xiang-san."

"what……"

As if he hadn't expected Kayoko to suddenly change the subject to himself, Hibiki, who had been keeping silent and trying not to draw their attention to himself, was stunned at first, but then nodded awkwardly.

"Well... after all, many of them are... made by our engineering department... so it is... necessary to come and check them..."

Seeing that Mutsuki seemed to have come up with some clever idea and had a slightly playful smile on his face, Lin En quickly spoke out to stop him.

"Okay, okay, don't embarrass Xiang."

Lynn chuckled as she said this and served both of them the same amount of warm milk.

“Really… huh?”

Just as Kayoko sighed slightly because of Lin En's obviously slightly biased behavior, she took the warm milk and couldn't help but reveal a dazed expression as if she had discovered something.

“Hoohoooooooo——”

Almost at the same time when Kayoko showed this expression, Mutsuki, who also took the warm milk from Lin En, chuckled as if he had discovered something.

It has to be said that if Kayoko's original situation could be ignored, then Mutsuki's smile would immediately cause the bar to fall into an indescribable awkward atmosphere.

But at this moment, Aruna seemed to have finally figured something out and sat over with Haruka.

"Hehe, do Aru and Haruka need anything to drink?"

"Give me a glass of red wine, teacher."

At this moment, Aruna seemed to have finally returned to her usual state, and said this to Lin En with a smile.

"For an outlaw like me, of course only red wine is worthy of me."

However, facing Aruna's appearance, Lin En shrugged with a hint of regret.

"No, Aru. You're still a student, and drinking is against school rules."

"Ah... uh... yes... students can't drink alcohol..."

After hearing what Lin En said, Aru, who remembered the school rules, immediately showed a distressed look.

"But... I've seen movies and TV shows that say only red wine is worthy of an outlaw like me..."

"Although I can't drink red wine, I still have some if you need it as a substitute."

Seeing that Arru was in a dilemma, Lynn smiled and took out a few bottles of drinks from the cabinet at the back.

Then, he skillfully poured these drinks together in different quantities, stirred them with a spoon for a while, put in a few ice cubes and inserted two lemon slices.

"I can't drink red wine, but this blueberry sparkling water, which is similar in color, is fine."

As Lin En said this, he pushed the glass of sparkling water in front of Arru and nodded slightly, asking her to taste it.

"And I think you'll like it, Aru."

Looking at the drink in front of her, which was similar in color to red wine, Aryu blinked and picked up the glass with a little curiosity. Although she was still a little hesitant, she drank it without hesitation.

“…It tastes good!”

Sure enough, the moment the liquid in the cup flowed down Aruru's throat, the girl's eyes suddenly lit up.

"am I right?"

Seeing Aru looking at the drink in her hand with joy, Lynn chuckled and turned to look at Haruka, who was sitting next to Aru and had not spoken a word.

"Haruka, would you like something to drink?"

"Uh...I..."

While Haruka was still hesitating, Lynn extended his index finger and shook it gently.

"Haruka, don't forget? I told you not to say that kind of thing in front of me, okay?"

"Ah... that... I..."

Haruka, holding the shotgun, hesitated for a moment in panic before answering in an almost imperceptible voice.

"…Just give me a glass of water."

"no problem."

Hearing Haruka's words, Lin En smiled and poured her a cup of warm boiled water and placed it in front of her.

"Well...thank you, teacher..."

However, after Haruka took the cup, she did not drink it directly. Instead, she stared blankly at the glass of boiled water in front of her and giggled from time to time.

Seeing that there was nothing else going on, Lin En wiped his hands and spoke to the people in the convenience house.

"Okay, I should take Hibiki back to Millennium Science Academy now. If you run into any problems, just call or text me."

"Well, goodbye teacher."

After watching Lynn and Hibiki leave the café, Aruru said with a hint of confusion, as if she had finally remembered something.

"That student... seems to be the one who came here to install the amusement equipment last time?"

"Yes... and..."

Kayoko said this while shaking her head and sighing softly.

"The smell of shower gel and laundry detergent coming from her body... is the same as that of Teacher Lin En."

"Hmm? Maybe they just happened to use the same style?"

"……Ugh."

Faced with Aru's puzzled expression, Kayoko could not help but cover her face with her hands helplessly amid Mutsuki's laughter.

Chapter 70: Are you willing to help me manage my accounts for the rest of my life?

"I didn't expect you guys to be up and working so early."

After driving his motorcycle to the outside of the engineering department's studio, Lynn couldn't help but exclaim when he heard the sound of the machine tools.

"Well, both seniors are very hardworking people, and once an idea comes to their minds, they will immediately put it into practice no matter when."

Sitting on the back of the motorcycle, Xiang, with his arms around Lynn's waist, replied with a smile.

"No wonder you are the most powerful studio in Millennium Science and Technology Academy. With companions like this, it's hard not to become excellent."

However, just as Lin En was sighing like this, his cell phone suddenly rang with a message alert.

"Hmm? This is...Yuuka?"

Although I couldn't see what was on Lin En's phone screen, I could hear something from his tone and spoke quickly.

"In that case, teacher, please go and help Yuuka-san."
