Teacher Xia Lai is also teaching in Kivotos today

Just when Xiaochun was panicking and at a loss as to what to do, a slightly puzzled voice reached everyone's ears.

"Hifumi, what are you doing standing at the door?"

"what……"

After Lin En pushed the door open and walked past Hifumi carrying the bag, he naturally saw this scene.

"Well...that's..."

When Lin En saw the cover of the book in Zi's hand and blinked, he wanted to say something. Xiaochun, who finally reacted, quickly snatched the pornographic book from Zi, who was still a little confused, and stuffed it back into his schoolbag.

"What! There's nothing! Get out now!!!"

However, facing the panicked Xiaochun, Lin En, whose brain had already been working rapidly, nodded in realization.

"I see. Isn't this the banned book that Koharu confiscated earlier but accidentally brought to the training camp?"

After hearing what Lin En said, not only Xiaochun, but even Hanako couldn't help but slightly widen their eyes in surprise.

"Yes... yes! That's it!"

Almost without any hesitation, Xiaochun nodded in agreement.

"Hmm... Come to think of it, I heard that there are a lot of banned books stored in the basement of the Holy Trinity Ancient Library... In that case, it's not surprising that the Justice Committee would confiscate various items including this one."

As Hanako spoke thoughtfully, Lynn smiled and said to Koharu.

"Then return it now while it's still early. As for Hasumi... I'll help you deal with that."

Seeing Lin En giving her a thumbs up, Xiaochun, who had been a little shy before, immediately nodded with joy on her face.

"Yeah! This way we won't be discovered! You're a big help, teacher!"

"This is some dessert I just bought. Since I'm not sure about your taste, I only bought some very ordinary flavors. If you have other flavors you like, remember to tell me, okay?"

After saying this, Lin En placed the bag in his hand on the podium and gently waved at Xiaochun.

"Xiaochun, if you are done packing, please come outside the classroom. I will be waiting for you outside the door."

After saying that, Lynn opened the door and left the classroom.

But the moment the classroom door was closed, Lin En suddenly felt cold sweat on his back.

Although Lynn only saw the cover, the appearance of the man and woman on the cover and the glaring "R18" label had clearly revealed the book's identity: it was absolutely a genuine, 100% pornographic book.

—Exactly the same books as those he hid under his bed.

He originally thought that Xiaochun was so sensitive because she hated things related to pornography, but now it seems...

Seems like the opposite?

"…What on earth is going on in these kids' heads?"

While Lin En was complaining in his heart, Xiaochun walked out of the classroom with his head slightly lowered and his schoolbag in his arms.

"Teacher... let's go."

Looking at Xiaochun in front of him, who was completely different from before and now looked shy, Lin En felt a little amused and chuckled as he stretched out his hand to her.

"Well, let's go."

--------

"Ah ha ha……"

After hearing the two people's footsteps fade away, Hifumi returned to her seat and let out a bitter smile.

"Ah... Looks like Hifumi-san also knows about that thing?"

Hanako looked a little surprised when she said this, but then she nodded as if she understood something.

"But it's true. Since Hifumi is also a fan of that game, it's not surprising that she knows all this."

"Ah wu..."

Looking at Hifumi who was lying on the table because of shyness, Azusa couldn't help but tilt her head in confusion.

"So...what is that?"

Chapter 30 Let’s Go Back Together

"That, that..."

When Lynn and Xiaochun came to the fountain in Trinity Square side by side, Xiaochun, who had been silent all the time, suddenly stopped.

"Teacher, do you really think... this is just a misunderstanding?"

Facing Xiaochun's obviously anxious question, Lin En couldn't help but chuckle.

"This is nothing unusual, there's nothing to misunderstand. After all, Xiaochun, you were suddenly assigned to the cram school, so it's normal for you to forget about this because of panic and confusion. Therefore, the most urgent thing now is to help you solve this problem."

Seeing Lin En's normal appearance, Xiaochun slightly widened her eyes in surprise.

"But, but... Teacher, don't you think that kind of illegal stuff is very... very out?"

"It doesn't matter what they look like, what matters is what you think, Xiaochun."

As Lin En said this, he walked up to Xiaochun and squatted slightly. At the same time, he reached out and put his hand on the beret on the head of the girl who was a little dazed by his words. He patted her gently and said to her with a smile.

"I've seen a lot of things, so I won't change my opinion of a person because of some one-sided things. So Xiaochun, you don't need to worry too much about this. In my opinion, you have always been a good child. It's better to say that even if you are really curious about these things, it is normal."

After all, I have several of these books hidden in my room.

——Of course, Lin En would never say the second half of this sentence even if he was beaten to death.

Although Lin En could go to those students to relieve his stress, in his opinion, it was not always appropriate. Whether it was the students from Abydos or the two from Millennium Science and Technology Academy, they all had daily affairs to deal with.

After all, it's impossible for me to disturb them because of my sudden and unreasonable sexual desire, right?

Even though he knew that the students might not mind, he himself would still mind a little.

At least, I still have to call them in advance...

Xiaochun, who had no idea of ​​Lin En's mental state, couldn't help but purse her lips slightly after hearing what he said.

"Well... this kind of words to coax girls are already outdated!"

Looking at Xiaochun who spoke shyly, Lin En smiled and said nonchalantly.

"So what if it's outdated? As long as it can make you relax, Xiaochun, that's enough. But Xiaochun, you don't need to restrain yourself too much. It's normal for people to feel confused or overwhelmed because of some unknown feelings. When you are no longer shy about this kind of thing, it means that you have become a qualified adult."

"Is this the calmness of an adult..."

"Well... I think in a way, this should be called thick-skinned."

Hearing Lin En's answer with a hint of smile, Xiaochun couldn't help but murmur as if the door to a new world had been opened.

At this moment, Xiaochun, who originally just associated Lin En with the image of "Lin En" in the game, suddenly discovered that, unknowingly, the Lin En who was squatting in front of her had gradually begun to occupy more space.

No...that's not right!

After realizing this, Xiaochun quickly shook her head.

Because now Xiaochun finally realized that she had made a mistake, or had always made a mistake.

No matter how "gentle and considerate" the Lin En in the game was, in the end, it was just an imitation of the "real" Lin En in front of her. Now that the "real thing" had come to her, why should she pursue the "illusion"?

Thinking of this, Xiaochun's mouth corners couldn't help but rise slightly.

What's more, compared to that "Lin En", the somewhat frivolous Lin En in front of her made her feel more intimate and real.

"Humph!"

As if she finally realized that she had inadvertently revealed her inner emotions on her face, Xiaochun snorted and her expression returned to her usual "serious" look - at least that's what she thought.

"Even I can understand that the teacher is thinking about us."

At this moment, Xiaochun remembered something and quickly grabbed Lin En who was about to get up.

"Well, then! In return, I will tell you a secret!"

"……Uh?"

Lin En, who had no idea why Xiaochun suddenly mentioned "returning a gift", blinked in confusion.

Xiaochun cleared his throat, looked around and saw no one passing by, then he lowered his voice and spoke to him.

"Actually... I'm here to monitor the cram school! In other words, I'm here to carry out a secret mission! So even though I look like a fool, it's all a disguise!"

"……I see."

Hearing this, Lin En nodded thoughtfully.

If this was true as Koharu said, then he would understand why she, who seemed to have nothing in common with the term "traitor", was chosen by Nagisa to join the supplementary lessons club like everyone else.

But... could Nagisa not see that this was surveillance by the Justice Commission? Or... did she have other plans?

"Um... Teacher Lin En?"

Xiaochun, who had never expected Lin En to have such an expression, couldn't help but feel a little stunned.

"Oh, sorry. Something else just occurred to me."

Lin En, who was brought back to reality by Xiaochun's words, smiled and waved his hand, then asked her as if to confirm something.

"Did Renjian send you here?"

"Ah... yes, yes! It's Hasumi-senpai!"

For some reason, Xiaochun showed a little nervousness when answering Lin En. However, Lin En, who was thinking about other things at the time, did not notice this.

"Oh right! Teacher Lin, Lin En! It's getting late now! Let's go, we still have a long way to go!"

After saying that, Xiaochun reached out and grabbed his sleeve, and at the same time shyly covered her face with the sleeve of her other hand, and hurried towards the direction of the Justice Committee amid Lin En's helpless and bitter smile.

--------

"Yeah... that's good."

After walking out of the Justice Realization Committee's warehouse, Koharu smiled at Lin who was waiting for her in the lobby.

"Anyway, you can rest assured—"

Before he finished speaking, the sound of footsteps came from outside the door, approaching gradually.

When they all looked towards the door at the same time, a figure appeared in their sight as the door opened.

"...Haru? Didn't you go to the training camp? And...why is the teacher here too?"

"This……"

Seeing that Xiaochun seemed to be involuntarily showing some timidity, Lin En took a step forward and stood slightly in front of her.

"Because Xiaochun left the reference books needed for basic tutoring here, she needed to come back to pick them up. If she came back alone, it would definitely arouse suspicion. So I came with her."

"I see... If that's the case, then there's nothing we can do."

Hearing Lin En say this, Lian Jian nodded in understanding.

"But it just so happens that I have some things I need to explain to Xiaochun again..."

"no problem."

However, before Lian Jian could finish his words, Lin En smiled and nodded.

"Can I wait outside?"

"I'm so sorry, Teacher Lin En. After all, this is an internal matter..."

"Don't worry about it, Hasumi. Every family has its own problems. Although I am a teacher, I will not interfere too much in your private affairs."

After saying that, Lin En waved to the two of them, opened the door and left the hall.

After arriving outside the Justice Realization Committee, Lynn leaned against the wall and frowned slightly.

If he guessed correctly, Renjian should now be explaining to Koharu about the "surveillance" she mentioned.

Could it be... that something new has happened? Or... that Nagisa has made some new moves?

If this is true...then what is the relationship between Nagisa and Hasumi?

"That... that..."
