Teacher Xia Lai is also teaching in Kivotos today

Lin En suppressed the strong urge to say something and sighed softly.

"It's not a good habit to sneak into someone's arms while they're sleeping, Ibuki-chan?"

"But, usually when Iroha-senpai falls asleep, I always sleep in her arms like this, right?"

In response to Lin En's words, Ibuki said this to Lin En with a puzzled look on his face.

"Ibuki-chan... Iroha and I are different. You usually crawl into Iroha's arms and sleep with her, which is of course fine, but you can't do the same to me."

After hearing what Lin En said as he stood up and rubbed his numb arm with a wry smile, Ibuki couldn't help but tilt his head.

"But I like both Iroha-senpai and Lin En-sensei. You are both people I like, so what's the difference?"

After hearing these completely innocent remarks, not to mention Lin En, even Iroha couldn't help but cover his face with the book, feeling a sense of guilt in his heart.

Seeing this, Lin En could only gently touch Ibuki's head and quickly change the subject.

"Well, it's getting late, let's go eat together! Fengxiang said she wanted to try some new dishes tonight."

Hearing what Lin En said, Ibuki, whose attention was immediately drawn to his words, couldn't help but smile.

"I can eat Fengxiang-senpai's food again! Great!"

Seeing that Ibuki had returned to his usual self, Lynn and Iroha looked at each other and smiled bitterly at the same time.

Of course, after that, Lin En took Iroha and Ibuki to the cafeteria for dinner, and Fengxiang nagged him for a long time because he didn't send a text message to inform them in advance, but that's a story for later.

Chapter 17 We are comrades-in-arms, Yazi!

Although it was already night, the Disciplinary Committee's office was still brightly lit.

Not only Hina, but even Ako, Chinatsu, and Iori were all working on paperwork.

"I feel like the situation in other schools, not just Gehenna, is starting to look grim lately..."

Hearing Chinatsu who was examining the documents say this, Ako who was checking the list beside her nodded slightly in agreement.

"Recently, the activities of bad groups seem to be increasing, and some chaebols are also ready to make a move. According to the intelligence, Caesar Group seems to be making some big moves recently, but the details are unclear."

Hearing this, Iori couldn't help but rub his temples and responded with a tired look on his face.

"Alas... I feel like we have less and less rest time recently..."

Among the four people present, only the head of the Discipline Committee, Hina Sorasaki, maintained her usual expressionless look from beginning to end, as if she was not affected by their words, and continued to handle the work at hand seriously.

In fact, she had the most documents piled on her desk than any of them.

Not only that, Hinata processed these documents much faster than any of the other three.

"Ya Zi, have you reviewed the list of funds needed for training?"

Hearing Hinata's usual calm voice, Ako nodded quickly and handed over the documents in her hand.

"Hmm... Looks like as long as those guys from Pandemonium get caught up in a whim to mess with us, there shouldn't be any problems."

Hinata muttered to herself as she signed the document.

After taking the document back, Ako looked at Hina who was still writing furiously, and spoke with a little hesitation.

"Commissioner Hinata, I think you might need to... take a break."

After hearing what Ako said, Hina paused for a moment, but soon continued writing the sentence.

Then she looked at Yazi.

"There are a lot of situations that Gehenna needs to deal with right now, and they must be resolved as quickly as possible. However, I certainly won't just sit there and wait for death, but..."

Before Hina could finish the following sentence, she was interrupted by the sudden opening of the office door and a slightly interested voice.

"Good evening, Hinata-chan. Have you finally thought it through and are planning to spend a wonderful evening with me?"

Looking at Lin En standing at the door with a rose in her mouth, everyone in the office fell into a daze at the same time.

"Ah... So your Discipline Committee is still in meeting? It's so lively."

The moment he discovered the situation in the office, Lynn quickly took the rose out of his mouth, coughed twice, and then grasped the door handle.

"Then I won't bother you anymore. I'll go first—"

"You can't go."

However, just as Lin En had time to turn around, someone suddenly grabbed the back of his collar.

"Teacher Lin En... I suggest you make it clear first. What do you mean by "spending a wonderful evening with you"?"

Looking at Yazi who appeared behind him out of nowhere and grabbed his collar, with a smile on his face but no trace of smile in his eyes, Lin En couldn't help but speak seriously.

"Of course, I mean to help Hinata with her official duties. Ako, think about it for a moment. Don't you think it would be more comfortable, more interesting, and more wonderful to handle official duties with friends and colleagues rather than alone?"

"This……"

It seemed that Yazi did not expect Lin En to say this. He was speechless for a moment, and his hands involuntarily relaxed a little.

However, Lin En did not choose to escape at this time, but turned around again and looked at Yazi.

"Ako, you should understand how hard it is for Chairman Hina, right? I am just like you, wanting to share the worries for Chairman Hina, right? The reason I said this is that I hope Hina can relax a little."

Then, before Yazi could say anything, Lynn grabbed her hand and placed the rose in it.

"The red rose means a promise to be remembered in the heart. I just want to use this flower to tell Hina that if she encounters difficulties or something she can't solve by herself, I will definitely come to her side to help her. In this matter, we are comrades! As Hina's most trusted administrator, you should understand me, right, Ako?"

But after hearing what Lin En said, Iori sighed helplessly.

"Oh, here we go again... Teacher Lin En always comes up with such weird and twisted ideas at times like this."

"But... I don't think this can be considered a twisted theory, right?"

Faced with Chinatsu's objection, Iori couldn't help but curl his lips.

"Do you really think that what Teacher Lin En said is what he just explained? And let alone me, I believe that Yazi can definitely see it..."

However, before Iori could finish his words, Ayako coughed lightly with a slightly red face.

"That's true... As the most trusted administrator of Chairman Hinata, I certainly understand how hard it is for Chairman Hinata on a daily basis... Since the teacher is here to help, I will let you go this time! However, I will not take this rose! Also, you are not allowed to say such specious words to Chairman Hinata in the future, do you understand?"

"Don't worry, Yazi. What I said is absolutely from the heart."

Seeing Lin En's serious answer, Ako nodded in satisfaction. Then, she returned to her seat under the stunned gazes of Iori and Chinatsu, and placed the rose next to her table.

"Iori...what did you just say?"

“…No, I didn’t say anything.”

Unlike the two people with shocked faces and Ako who kept muttering "Chairman Hina's most trusted administrator", Hina, who was sitting behind the desk, looked at Lin En standing at the door with an expressionless face from beginning to end.

"Hey, Hina, good evening. I didn't expect the chance to meet again would come so soon."

Looking at Lynn who came to her desk and greeted her as if nothing had happened, Hinata couldn't help but sigh.

“I always feel like Teacher Lin En always causes all kinds of weird commotions wherever he goes…”

"Maybe it's because I tend to attract trouble easily."

As Lin said this, she sat down on the chair opposite Hinata at Hinata's signal.

"Ah, but you're here just in time, teacher. I want to ask you for something."

Chapter 18 Ask for an explanation

"Although I have indeed received a lot of care from you, Hinata...but it's not good to grab a sheep and pull it hard, you know?"

In response to Lin En's words as he shook his index finger at her, Hinata responded without changing her expression.

"I feel like if Teacher Lin En could cause less commotion, I wouldn't be able to get you, right?"

"But I tend to attract trouble easily."

After stretching slightly, Lynn asked Hinata with a smile.

"So, what's the matter this time? Do we need to steal relevant information from the Steel Helmets base that has obtained illegal weapons, or investigate intelligence from other schools?"

"...Let's not talk about the former for now. I don't think I've ever asked you to do the latter, right?"

After hearing his somewhat improper inquiry, Hinata sighed and continued.

"I have already handed over the materials that Teacher Lin En brought out yesterday to Ako and Iori to handle. The next matter will be taken over by our Discipline Committee, so Teacher Lin En doesn't have to worry. And this time... there are other things that need the teacher's help."

Having said that, Hinata turned her head and looked to the other side.

"Chinatsu."

"Chairman, I'm here."

After Chinatsu Hinomiya came to Lin En's side, Hinata looked at the two of them and continued.

"More than two months have passed, and the Commonwealth Student Union still hasn't given any explanation for this increasingly chaotic situation. But even so, we can't just sit there and wait."

Hearing what Hinata said, Lin En touched his chin and asked tentatively.

"So... you're planning on asking me to go to the Federal Student Union to seek an explanation?"

"Well, you could say that."

Hinata nodded.

"I originally planned to have Chinatsu go to the Federation Student Union tomorrow to ask the president of the Federation Student Union for clarification. However, considering that other schools may also send people there, in order to avoid unnecessary conflicts, I hope to ask the teacher to go with Chinatsu."

"That's it. Please take care of me tomorrow, Teacher Lin En."

Looking at Chinatsu who smiled and bowed slightly to him, Lin En pondered for a moment and then nodded.

"Well... that's no problem. Leave it to me. When do we leave or meet tomorrow?"

"If the teacher doesn't mind, let's meet in front of the Commonwealth Student Union building at nine in the morning."

Hearing this, Lin En immediately asked Qianxia with some confusion.

"Aren't we going together?"

"Ahaha... Because tomorrow morning I have to go to other places in Gehenna to handle business before I can go to the Federation Student Union. If I remember correctly, Teacher Lin En will also need to help Fengxiang prepare meals for the cafeteria in the morning, right?"

"That's right... then there's nothing we can do."

After listening to Chinatsu's explanation, Lynn nodded in understanding.

"Speaking of which... do we need to send a team of guards to protect the teacher's safety?"

At this moment, Ako, who was flipping through the report at hand, suddenly asked Hina.

"According to my intelligence, the Federal Corrections Bureau seems to have been attacked to some extent, and some of the detained students escaped. Therefore, I am worried that the teacher may be in danger when he is alone outside tomorrow."

"I didn't expect you to be worried about me, Yazi. I'm so happy! You're worthy of being my comrade!"

Looking at Lin En who gave her a thumbs up, Yazi sighed helplessly.

"I just don't want the reputation of our Gehenna Academy to be damaged again because of the teacher..."

"Well... I have to investigate some things outside the school tomorrow, so I won't be able to accompany the teacher to the Federation Student Union. Chinatsu also needs to go somewhere else to handle matters, and Ako needs to sit in the Disciplinary Committee to prevent any unexpected situations..."

Hinata, who was talking to herself, couldn't help but look at Iori, the only person she hadn't mentioned.

However, facing Hinata's gaze, Iori shrugged helplessly.

"Chairman, I have to train the new recruits who have just been selected to join the Discipline Committee tomorrow, so I can't escort the teacher."

Seeing that the office suddenly became a little dull, Lin En clapped his hands lightly and said with a smile.

"It's okay. It's not a big problem for me to go to the Federation Student Union alone. Even if something unexpected happens, even if I really can't win, I can just run away. And if there is really an emergency, I will contact you immediately."

"But……"

Seeing that Hinata seemed to be still a little hesitant, Lynn continued to explain.

"If you really send a team of guards to accompany me, it will attract the attention of those bad groups, right? If I am alone, it will not only be easier to hide and escape, but also less noticeable, right?"
