Teacher Xia Lai is also teaching in Kivotos today

"But... why..."

Seeing Nagisa's distraught look, Lin En chuckled and reached out his hand to press on her fist that was clenched into a silk scarf.

"In that case... Nagisa, are you willing to go with me to find Shengya?"

"Eh?"

"Because Nagisa is very confused now, right? After all, your expression right now has revealed everything in your heart."

Facing Nagisa who looked at him in disbelief, Lin En continued with a smile.

"Although Nagisa looks much cuter now than usual, I am the kind of teacher who cannot watch my students fall into confusion with evil taste, so I cannot let my students show this look. So, let's go see Shengya now."

Although Nagisa blushed slightly because of Lin's words and actions, she calmed down a little and said to Lin.

"But... the Knights Rescue have hidden her now. I have no idea where she is..."

"If that's the case, how about discussing it with Mika?"

In Lin En's opinion, although Mika seemed to have some opinions about Nagisa, if it was about another member of the tea party, he believed that Mika would be able to temporarily put aside those prejudices and have a good talk with Nagisa.

"Wei...Wei Hua?"

Seeing Nagisa stunned by his words, Lin En smiled and nodded without thinking too much.

"Yeah, aren't you two very good friends? When I first met you, I felt that you had a good relationship. And when you encounter a situation like this, it's always good to have more friends around to discuss things with."

"Indeed, Mika and I are childhood sweethearts, but..."

Nagisa couldn't help but tighten the scarf in her hand once again while saying this.

"It's just that we haven't had a good conversation for a long time."

"If that's the case, then we should do this now, right?"

Hearing Nagisa's somewhat hesitant words, Lin En answered without hesitation.

"Instead of being confused here, why not take the initiative to find the answer?"

Having said that, Lin En smiled and stretched out his other hand to wrap up Nagisa's hand that was holding the scarf.

"No matter what the outcome is, I will always be with you, Nagisa."

"teacher……"

Facing Lin En who was looking at her with a smile, Nagisa couldn't help but blink.

At the same time, something seemed to flash in her clear eyes.

It was not known whether it was because Lin En encouraged her, or because she had finally made up her mind, or both. Anyway, after a brief hesitation, Nagisa chuckled and nodded to Lin En.

"I see... Let's go meet Mika."

"Ah."

Chapter 38 I saw it with my own eyes...

"It's so rare! Nagisa-chan actually came to my house! As far as I can remember, the last time Nagisa visited my house, we hadn't even joined the tea party yet! Yeah, although I don't know what happened, I'm still very happy!"

Although Mika was a little surprised when Nagisa and Lin En came to visit her late at night, she still showed excitement and a little nostalgic.

When Nagisa saw Mika like this, she felt an inexplicable sense of guilt even though her emotions had not yet completely calmed down.

"No flowers..."

Facing Nagisa who looked hesitant towards her, Mika smiled and said as if she didn't care.

"Anyway, Nagisa-chan, you should come in first. Besides, you don't want the teacher to be outside in the cold wind with you, do you?"

After hearing what Mika said, Nagisa finally reacted. She first looked at Lin En who was smiling at her with a slightly apologetic look, then followed Mika into her home and sat down at the table in the living room with Lin En.

"Hehe~ I remember that Nagisa seemed to like this brand of desserts very much, right? Oh, and please leave the tea to me! Although I'm not very good at thinking, I still know how to make tea, okay?"

Looking at Weihua, who was not behaving like a young lady at all and was happily jumping around to get things, Lin En couldn't help but chuckle.

Now it seems that Nagisa and Mika are really two completely opposite people, both in terms of personality and thinking.

Perhaps it is because of this reason that two people like this can become friends?

"By the way, does Teacher Lin En have any favorite refreshments? I actually have quite a complete selection here, huh?"

Hearing Weihua's question, Lin En couldn't help but start thinking about the snacks he had come into contact with.

After all, he runs a coffee shop himself, so he knows a thing or two about refreshments.

It was for this reason that when faced with this question, he didn't know which refreshment to answer for a moment.

However, at this time, Lin En did not think about how important this news about Shengya was to Nagisa.

Just as Lin En was thinking seriously about what to say, Nagisa spoke very seriously to Mika who was standing in front of the shelf.

"Mika... sit down, I have something important to say."

When Lin En heard this, some ominous premonition made his heart skip a beat.

"Huh? What happened?!"

At this time, Mika, who had her back to the two of them, did not seem to see Nagisa's serious expression, so she did not follow Nagisa's words and sit down at the table. Instead, she stretched out her hand to take down the can of tea that was placed high up.

Or...she had actually heard Nagisa's attitude at the moment, but just chose to escape?

Just as Lin En was thinking about this, Weihua had turned around and placed the tea leaves she had just taken on the table.

"Even if there is something, can't we talk about other topics first? Nagisa-chan is always like this, getting straight to the point. It's ok that I wasn't the organizer during the tea party, but now, I should be considered the organizer, right? So..."

Before Mika could finish her complaining words, Nagisa interrupted her seriously.

"Shengya...is not dead yet."

"……Eh?"

For a moment, Weihua's movements seemed to be suddenly paused and stopped in mid-air.

Not only that, the happy smile on her face now began to turn into shock and confusion.

But he didn’t know if it was Lin En’s illusion, he also saw a hint of uneasiness in Weihua’s eyes...?

"What are you talking about, Nagisa-chan..."

Seeing that Mika showed the same reaction as he just did, Nagisa could only sigh and look at Lin En.

After receiving the "signal" from Nagisa, Lin En nodded and repeated to Mika what he had said to Nagisa.

You know, in the entire Holy Trinity, probably only the three people at the tea party know about Shengya's unique ability.

"..."

However, even after Lin En told Weihua everything in detail except what Shengya had told him, Weihua still looked incredulous.

Although she was wary of Nagisa, she didn't understand why Lin En would say these things to her.

"Nagisa-chan... and Mr. Lin En... are you really not... lying to me together? You know, Shengya-chan clearly... died in that explosion, right? Why did you team up to lie to me?"

"That's why we have to verify whether this is true or not!"

Facing Mika who seemed to be in some kind of doubt, Nagisa seemed to finally be unable to restrain herself and spoke to her with a little excitement.

"If Shengya is really not dead, then this matter is closely related to Captain Meiya and the Rescue Knights! Although I still don't understand what she wants to do, she must have her own plans for deliberately concealing Shengya's news!"

As if she had finally found a place to confide in, after Mika quickly recounted her ideas, Nagisa let out a sigh of relief.

After calming down a little, Nagisa couldn't help but clench her hands and looked at Mika with a slightly pleading look.

"So... Weihua, let's go find Shengya together, okay? If Shengya is really still alive, then there is still room for this matter to turn around, and we can also find the real traitor hiding in the Holy Trinity..."

Not to mention Lin En, even Mika, who has been with Nagisa for so many years, saw her like this for the first time.

Will Nagisa, who always represented the tea party and appeared as a tough and decisive high-ranking leader, one day show this appearance?

However, when facing Nagisa who looked at her like this, Mika unexpectedly fell silent.

Was it because of the news that Shengya was not dead? Was it because of seeing Nagisa in this state? Or... was it because of some other reason?

For a moment, not to mention others, even Weihua herself couldn't explain it clearly.

Perhaps because her thoughts were disrupted by these chaotic emotions, Weihua couldn't help but mutter.

"Don't lie to me... Nagisa-chan..."

"…Mihua?"

Under Nagisa's puzzled gaze, Mika slowly raised her head and looked at her.

"At that time... I saw with my own eyes that Shengya's aura and body exploded——"

It was not until this moment that Weihua finally realized what she had just said unintentionally.

Almost at this moment, her expression changed from surprise to hesitation, then to uneasiness, and finally to horror.

Chapter 39 You Should Believe Her

"What do you mean by seeing it with your own eyes? Mika?"

Faced with these completely unexpected words from her best friend - at least the one she considered to be her best friend, Nagisa fell into a daze almost the moment she heard these words.

"Mika...why were you there at that time?"

"I……"

Realizing that she had revealed the deepest secret in her heart, Weihua couldn't help but open her mouth slightly.

At this moment, Weihua, who always seemed to be able to bring up a variety of topics in the past, could not utter a word.

However, it was not only Mika who remained silent at this time. There was also Nagisa, who realized some shocking facts from her words, and Lin, who had been watching the two of them and didn't know what to say.

With the different reactions of these three people, the atmosphere couldn't help but become dull.

But what the other two did not expect was that the one who broke the deadlock first was the "culprit" Mika.

"Nagisa-chan... maybe you will hate me forever..."

"Weihua, you..."

Faced with Mika who seemed like she would cry at any moment but was holding back her tears, Nagisa had no idea how to react.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Lynn."

As she said this, Weihua turned to Lin En, who had a complicated expression on his face, and bowed slightly to him.

"I still have a lot to say to you, teacher... and I didn't treat you well... I'm sorry..."

"No flowers..."

Looking at Lin En's tangled expression, Weihua forced out a smile that was uglier than crying.

"I feel like it doesn't matter whether Shengya-chan is alive or not... Now, I seem to have committed an unforgivable sin... After all, I never thought that the teacher would go this far so quickly... Haha, it seems that I am a fool for recommending the teacher to be in charge of the cram school, just like everyone says..."

Hearing Mika's mumbling, although Nagisa already had a vague guess in her heart - or the answer, and although she had unconsciously clenched her hands, she still asked Mika reluctantly.

"Mika...what happened?"

"…I'm sorry, Nagisa-chan."

With tears on her face, Mika did not answer Nagisa, but smiled and apologized to her.

Before Nagisa and Lin En could say anything else, the next second, Mika broke through the wall like a missile and ran into the deep darkness at the fastest speed as if she wanted to escape from here immediately.

"Mika?!"

The moment Mika broke through the wall, Nagisa, who could no longer suppress her emotions, stood up subconsciously.

But after standing up, she couldn't help but stand there in a daze, completely unaware of what she should do next.

"Nagisa."
