Teacher Xia Lai is also teaching in Kivotos today

Just as Lin En frowned and thought, a slightly weak voice came into his ears.

When he turned around, he found that it was a girl wearing a black sailor suit with bangs almost covering her eyes.

Not only that, the girl who was supposed to be looking at him was holding a disposable water cup in her hand.

"You...should be a member of the Justice Realization Committee, right?"

Hearing Lin En's question, the girl nodded quickly.

"Yes! Um... We've also heard about what happened with Koharu-senpai. Sorry to bother you, teacher! So, please at least have a glass of water and take a rest!"

Faced with the girl's concerned words, Lynn took the cup with a smile and drank all the water in it.

"Thank you."

When returning the cup to the other person, Lynn smiled and rubbed the other person's beret-covered head.

"Ah...ah woo..."

Although he couldn't see the girl's expression clearly, Lin En clearly saw a faint blush on her ears.

"I wish...I wish you all the best!"

After bowing to Lin En in a somewhat exaggerated manner, the girl turned around and ran away without hesitation.

When Lin En looked in the direction she "escaped", he found that at the base of the wall over there were several girls who were also wearing the uniform of the Justice Committee, clinging to the corner of the wall, sticking half of their heads out and looking at him.

Almost at the same time as their eyes met, they all shrank behind the wall at the same time.

But after a while, they all poked their heads out again. But then, they once again retreated behind the wall because they met Lin En's gaze.

"…What are these girls doing?"

Just when Lin En was feeling somewhat amused and helpless at the scene before him, the door beside him suddenly opened.

"Um... sorry to have kept you waiting, teacher..."

Looking at Xiaochun who was greeting him listlessly, Lin En nodded slightly and turned to look at Ren Jian who came out with Xiaochun.

"I'm so sorry, teacher."

After bowing earnestly to Lin En, Lian Jian said this to him.

Although Lian Jian looked no different from usual at this moment, Lin En noticed the anger in her eyes that had not yet completely subsided.

Did Nagisa do something? Or...

At this moment, the figures that Lin En saw in the tunnel suddenly appeared in his mind.

Could it be that... they did something and were discovered by the Justice Commission?

Although Lin En's heart was filled with countless questions, big and small, he also knew that this was not the time to ask out loud.

"……nothing."

After giving her usual chuckle, Lynn patted Xiaochun's head gently.

"Don't worry, Hasumi. Xiaochun is working very hard in the cram school now. I think passing the exam is just around the corner."

"I feel relieved when I hear the teacher say that."

As if not noticing Koharu's slightly surprised look, Renjian looked relieved.

"Xiaochun, it's getting late, hurry up and go back to the dormitory with the teacher."

"……Um."

Hearing this, Xiaochun, who no longer had the liveliness she had when she first came, nodded slightly and came to Lin En's side.

Seeing this, Lin En smiled, reached out and took Xiaochun's sleeve.

"That should be enough, right?"

Under the somewhat surprised gazes of the two, Lin En led Xiaochun towards the dormitory.

When they had walked a long distance away, Xiaochun's voice finally reached Lin En's ears.

"Um... Teacher Lin En... aren't you curious..."

"Of course I'm curious."

As if she had never expected Lin En to answer so directly, Xiaochun, who had been slightly lowering her head, suddenly raised her head and looked at Lin En with surprise.

"But although I am curious, I am also very clear that not everything I need to know."

Lynn shrugged and said this to Xiaochun with a smile.

"Everyone has things they don't want others to know, and the reasons are different. Some don't trust the other person enough, some don't want others to worry about it, and some don't want to involve irrelevant people... Everyone has their own reasons and difficulties, just like Hasumi and Xiaochun."

Having said that, Lynn looked up at the starry sky.

"But I believe that sooner or later, either Hasumi or Koharu will tell me everything. So before that, what I have to do is very simple - just wait."

"..."

Facing Xiaochun who was looking at him in a daze, Lin En loosened his hand that was holding the other's sleeve.

"what……"

Then, amidst Xiaochun's involuntary little exclamation, he smiled and stretched out his hand to the other party again.

"Let's go back together, Xiaochun."

"..."

Seeing Lin En extending her hand towards her, Xiaochun couldn't help but blush slightly.

But this time, she did not mutter "no porn" or shout "death penalty" as usual. Instead, she placed her little hand in Lin's palm without much hesitation.

"……Um."

--------

"what……"

It was not until Lin En disappeared from view that Lian Jian finally remembered something.

"I forgot to return this to the teacher..."

Lian Jian muttered to herself and took out a clean handkerchief from her pocket. It was the handkerchief that Lin En had used to wipe the stains for her. Now, she had carefully washed it clean by hand.

She bet she wasn't even that serious when washing her own clothes.

"It seems... I can only wait until the next time I meet the teacher."

Having said this, Ren Jian sighed helplessly and put the handkerchief back into his pocket.

At this moment, Ren Jian noticed some gazes and looked in the direction they were directed, only to find that they were his own members.

"…What are you doing here?"

However, facing Ren Jian's slightly puzzled question, the members of the Justice Realization Committee scattered instantly as if they had done something wrong, leaving only Ren Jian standing at the door with a look of astonishment on his face.

"...?"

"Just...just stop here..."

Although she said this, Xiaochun still held Lin En's hand tightly when she arrived at the door of the lounge, and it seemed that she had no intention of letting go.

Seeing this, feeling a little amused, Lin En squatted slightly again and put his other hand on Xiaochun's head.

"Idiot... I won't grow taller if I keep doing this..."

After muttering this in a slightly dissatisfied tone, Xiaochun finally slowly let go of Lin En's hand.

"Anyway...thank you so much today, Teacher Lin En."

Lin En was a little surprised when Xiaochun, who thanked him honestly despite having a slightly red face, faced him.

But just when he was about to say something, the door of the room was suddenly opened.

"Ah, is it Koharu and the teacher?"

When Lin En looked in the direction of the voice, he found that the person standing at the door was Hifumi, who was wearing sportswear lazily and wiping her hair with a towel. It seemed that she had just come out of the bathroom.

At this time, Hifumi's neck was still slightly wet, and her fair and rosy skin was still emitting a faint heat and the fragrance of shower gel. Although she was wrapped in a somewhat old-fashioned sportswear, her slender waist and limbs that reminded people of a willow, combined with the thin sportswear, made her look petite and cute.

"Hmm? Teacher, what's wrong?"

After being brought back to reality by Hifumi's slightly puzzled voice, Lin En quickly coughed lightly, stood up as if nothing had happened, and said to her with a smile.

"Nothing, I just think Hifumi is pretty cute right now."

“Ah, ah…”

Hearing what Lin En said, Hifumi's face quickly turned red with embarrassment.

"Ahhhh... So it's the teacher?"

With her habit that has become somewhat of a signature, Hanako, still in her uniform, appeared at the door.

"No wonder Hifumi-chan's face turned so red."

Hanako opened the door with a chuckle as she heard the tone that sounded profound.

"There should still be some time before the break, right? So... would you like to come in and sit down with me, teacher?"

"Uh……"

After hearing Hanako's invitation, Lin En was still a little hesitant for a moment.

Seeing this, Hanako was not surprised by this, but continued to talk to him with a smile.

"Wouldn't the teacher be curious about what we girls would talk about? For example...what do we think of the teacher?"

"I...we haven't talked about these things!"

However, before Lin En could respond to Hanako's words, Koharu suddenly pointed at her and retorted.

"We haven't talked about this before... But if Xiaochun wants, how about we use this as the topic for tonight?"

"Woooo..."

Looking at Hanako who was giving her a meaningful smile, Koharu subconsciously shrank behind Lin En.

"Ah... It seems that if the teacher doesn't come in, Xiaochun-chan doesn't seem to plan to come in either. Hmm... That means Xiaochun-chan plans tonight..."

"Okay, okay, can't I come in?"

Before Hanako could say something even more explosive, Lynn interrupted her.

"Haha, then please, teacher."

Facing Hanako who smiled and moved aside to make way for him, Lin En felt as if he was attending a Hongmen Banquet for some reason.

Perhaps it was because he was back to a familiar place, or perhaps he was simply ashamed to show his previous closeness with Lin En, but after the two of them entered the room, Xiaochun ran back to his bed, took off his shoes and huddled under the quilt.

"Good evening, teacher."

Until this moment, Zi, who seemed to have just put down the reference book, looked over and nodded at Lin En.

Lin En also smiled and nodded to Zi, and just sat down when Hanako's shocking words reached his ears.

"Hmm... Now I think I can probably understand why Hifumi-chan, who was the first one to return to her room after evening study, immediately went to take a shower and took a shower so quickly."

“Wow?! I… I just forgot to take a shower because I stayed in bed this morning…”

In response to the blushing girl's explanation, Hanako nodded with her meaningful smile.

"That's true. After all, Hifumi-chan didn't take a shower this morning, and today she's been so busy..."

“Ah… ah… that statement is too, too shameful!”

When Hifumi interrupted Hanako's words, Azusa, who seemed to be a beat slow to react, finally spoke.

"If Hifumi still has trouble getting up tomorrow morning, I'll help Hifumi take a bath."
