Teacher Xia Lai is also teaching in Kivotos today

"I appreciate your aesthetics...my friend. Perhaps...we will have a lot of common topics..."

The girl couldn't help but smile and nodded slightly as she said this.

However, just as she was about to leave, she suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but push the mask on her face.

"But... a 'one-of-a-kind' student?"

As if she remembered something, the girl turned her head and looked in the direction where Lin En left.

"Do you...really think so?"

Chapter 42: Mika is such a fool

"..."

After using her status as the host of the tea party to drive away the students of Trinity who were following the noise, Nagisa returned to the living room.

The furnishings in the hall had not changed at all compared to before. There were still the same chairs, the same table, and the teacups and snacks on the table.

Sitting back in his seat, Nagisa rubbed his hands somewhat helplessly, then subconsciously picked up the teacup in front of him.

However, when her hand touched the wall of the cup, she was stunned, then she sighed and retracted her hand.

"It's already cold..."

Nagisa stood up again while saying this and poured all three cups of tea on the table into the kitchen sink.

Looking at the red liquid slowly flowing into the sewer, Nagisa couldn't help but purse her lips slightly.

Why did I just... drive away those students?

If it were my usual self, I would definitely ask them to search for Weihua's whereabouts.

This does not mean that we do not trust the teacher, it is just a necessary measure just in case.

But why didn't I do it this time?

Although Nagisa had calmed down a little, she was still in a state of confusion, unlike her apparent calmness.

The suspicion of the traitor, the uneasiness when thinking that the next person to be killed would be herself or Mihua after Shengya was killed, and the betrayal from her best friend that she had always deliberately avoided... at this moment, they were like flames devouring her already broken heart.

Her communication device was on her body. As long as she, as the organizer of the tea party, moved her fingers slightly, at least half of the power of Trinity Academy could be quickly mobilized.

Under such circumstances, it would probably be a piece of cake to find out what has not been spent.

But she didn't do that.

Could it be that I still "trust" Weihua as much as before?

Even if... she said or even did something that was unforgivable?

[Just like you did before]

Unconsciously, the words that Lin En said before she left once again echoed in her heart.

Instantly, the poisonous flames that were licking Nagisa's heart filled with anxiety, doubt, and betrayal suddenly stopped in the air.

At this moment, she knew very well that blindly trusting someone was undoubtedly a terrifying thing.

But...even so, she felt that she might still want to believe, want to believe Weihua like before.

——Just as Xia Lai’s teacher said and did.

"...Perhaps inviting Teacher Lin En to Trinity was the best decision Mika has ever made?"

Nagisa said this to herself with a wry smile, and returned to the table with an empty teacup.

Although Nagisa was still unclear about when Mika and Lin would be back, she knew very well that letting people returning from an outing drink cold tea was definitely not the way Trinity Academy treated guests, and certainly not the way a tea party should be held.

"call……"

After letting out a light breath, Nagisa once again skillfully began to brew black tea - just as she usually did.

As for the difference... perhaps it was that there was an extra photo frame on the table next to her, which obviously hindered her movements, but she never moved it away.

--------

After walking out of the dessert shop, Lin En brought Weihua to a small park.

“Eh… Teacher Lin En is obviously visiting Trinity for the first time, but she actually knows about this kind of place…”

Weihua sat down on the bench without any ladylike manner, looked around the silent surroundings, and couldn't help but sigh.

“One of my students told me about this place.”

Lin En answered this and took out a cup of hot drink from the paper bag and handed it to Weihua.

"Well... it's a little windy now, but I'm not so weak that I can only drink warm things, okay?"

Although she said some slightly dissatisfied words, Weihua still reached out and took the cup of hot, warm black tea.

"Besides, I prefer black tea with lots of milk and sugar, okay?"

"Oh... Please forgive me for this."

Just as Lynn smiled bitterly at the picky declaration made by Weihua after taking a sip of black tea, the corners of the girl's mouth slightly raised.

"But...since this cup of tea is warm, I'll tell the teacher."

Having said that, Weihua leaned gently on the bench and looked up at the bright moon in the night sky.

"In fact, the cause of all this is not complicated... I just simply don't like those guys in Gehenna. So... I want Arius and the others to return to Trinity. In this way, the Treaty of Eden will never be successfully concluded."

Facing Lin En's calm gaze, Weihua, who had calmed down, told him all her plans.

According to her original plan, Zi was indeed planted in Holy Trinity as a symbol of her reconciliation with Arius, and she was also indeed a spy who planned the attack on Saint Ya.

She originally just wanted to teach Shengya, who kept saying things she couldn't understand and always called her "idiot", a lesson. But she never expected that Shengya would die in the attack.

It was precisely because of Shengya's death that Nagisa became extremely vigilant. Not only did he conduct strict internal inspections, he even used Xia Lai's special authority to establish this "tutoring department".

At this point, if we want to make the Treaty of Eden fail, there is only one way -

That is to put the entire tea party under her control.

In other words, the tea party must be hosted by her alone.

In this way, no matter how the Eden Treaty is dealt with later, it will be her own business.

So, after Azusa attacked Seiya, the next target was Nagisa.

"That's it, Teacher Lin En. This is me, Seizono Mika, an out-and-out bad boy, okay?"

Weihua, holding a hot drink in her hand, gently shook her calves wrapped in white stockings, and spoke to Lin En with a smile as if it was none of her business.

"Although I don't want to be hated by the teacher, but... I can't hide what I did. So... Teacher Lin En, you used to be Gehenna's teacher, right? What do you think? I attacked Shengya, and the next target is Nagisa. After clearing out their remaining forces, I will take over the Holy Trinity, and then go to war with those annoying guys in Gehenna... I..."

"That's enough, Mika... I already know."

Lynn stretched out her hand and gently placed it on Weihua's hand that was holding the hot drink.

There was no blame or resentment in his tone, only a calmness that made people hold their breath.

Looking at Weihua who was still pretending to be strong, Lin En smiled and pinched her cheek.

"Mika, you are such a complete idiot."

Chapter 43 No matter what the result is, I will be with you

"……Eh?"

It seemed that she did not expect Lin En to suddenly say such a thing, and Weihua couldn't help but blink in confusion.

"You know, Nagisa believed that Mika would not do those things, and she always thought that Mika was her friend."

At this point, Lin En couldn't help but chuckle as he remembered something.

"That suspicious Nagisa, the only person she trusts at a time like this is probably Mika, right?"

"But... I want to..."

"Isn't it right?"

Before Weihua could finish her slightly hesitant words, Lin En interrupted her forcefully.

"From Nagisa's perspective, she has always believed that Mika is her good friend. Of course, it's not just you, but also Shengya. Mika, who can make Nagisa have such a firm belief in the memory, is not that kind of bad kid, right? So, Mika is just a fool who has given up on herself. She thought Shengya was dead and that everything was irreversible, so she just gave up."

"..."

In response to Lin En's words, Weihua did not say anything in agreement or rebuttal. Instead, she just lowered her head slightly and stared at the cup of hot drink in her hand.

"I have also seen Shengya in my dreams. She is indeed a child who often uses difficult words. I think that Weihua, who just wanted to teach Shengya a lesson, didn't expect it to turn out like this, right?"

Looking at the silent Weihua, Lin En continued with a smile.

"Also... although you said that Azusa was a spy arranged by you, Mika, to go to Trinity, the plan to attack Shengya would still be carried out even without Azusa, right? But even so, you still risked being discovered by letting Azusa enter Trinity. I think Mika is sincere about 'reconciling with Arius', right?"

"…Maybe it's to make it easier for me to carry out my plan?"

"I don't think Mihua's thoughts are that complicated, okay?"

Lynn spoke as he held up his finger and shook it gently.

"And when he was in the cram school, Azusa was always studying very hard. If he really just wanted to be a spy, he would never study as hard as Azusa did from the bottom of his heart."

"That may also be because she is a good actress..."

Although she was still subconsciously denying Lin En's words, facing Lin En who was looking at her with a smile and explaining everything one by one, Weihua's voice began to become smaller and smaller, and she gradually stopped refutation and just held the hot drink and lowered her head slightly. The pair of white wings behind her also drooped down as if she felt depressed.

"Teacher... I'm a problem child, right? Who knows, you might be fooled by me?"

"So what?"

Lynn answered without hesitation.

"I just want to believe in Mika. I believe Mika has her own reasons for doing this. Besides, I don't want to just watch Mika continue to give up on herself. No matter what, it's not too late now."

As Lin En said this, he took Weihua's hand somewhat forcefully and looked into her eyes seriously.

"Nagisa really wants to have a good talk with you, just like we did before...but no matter what the result is, I will be with you."

"……I see."

Looking at Lin En who was looking at her seriously, Weihua, who had been hesitant, couldn't help but chuckle.

"In that case, I'll leave everything to you, Sensei? Or... Mr. Kaito?"

"Well, leave it to me."

Lin En nodded slightly in response to Weihua's words, and suddenly seemed to remember something and burst out laughing.

"?"

Facing the puzzled look from Weihua, Lin En waved his hand gently and said with a smile.

"It just suddenly occurred to me that Nagisa is probably sitting alone in Mika's house, which was hit by a big hole, and maybe she is drinking tea with an anxious look on her face... so I suddenly found it a little funny..."

"..."

After imagining what Lin En described, Weihua couldn't help but laugh.

"I feel like this is very much Nagisa-chan's style."

After saying this with a smile, Weihua suddenly turned to look at Lin En and looked him up and down.

"Speaking of which... Teacher Lin En, don't you plan to change your clothes before you go back?"

"No need, and I just happen to want to clear up some misunderstandings."

Having said that, Lin En, who seemed to recall something, first raised his eyebrows, then gently raised his cloak and saluted Weihua.

"Well... I wonder if Miss Mika is interested in flying in the night sky with me?"

Seeing Lin En extending his hand to her, Weihua took it without any hesitation.

"Ok!"
