Teacher Xia Lai is also teaching in Kivotos today

--------

After experiencing several exciting short flights, Lin En, holding Weihua in a princess hug, landed in front of a house.

And this building was the one with a big hole in it that was hit by Weihua. It belonged to her home.

Although the doors and windows were still closed, through the big hole in front of them that was knocked out by Mika, Lin En and Mika both saw Nagisa sitting at the table with a teacup in her hand, looking at them in surprise.

"Pfft hahaha——"

Almost as soon as she saw the scene that was almost identical to Lin En's description, Weihua couldn't help but burst out laughing.

“Wei…Weihua?!”

Nagisa couldn't help but feel a little surprised when she saw Mika reappear in front of her in a way that was completely unexpected to her.

But then, she turned to look at Lin En who was standing next to Weihua.

"I remember you were..."

Seeing that Nagisa had already put his hand on the pistol at his waist, Lin En, who originally wanted to tease him, chose to surrender at the speed of light.

"Yes, I am the Joker you are looking for. Of course, you can also call me by another name."

As Lin En said this, he first reached out and pressed lightly on his neck, then took off his hat.

"You...you are..."

Seeing Nagisa's surprised and shocked expression again, Lin En smiled helplessly.

"I'm sorry, Nagisa. I'm the Joker."

"...I see. No wonder Hifumi-san chose to hide your identity. No wonder I could hardly find out any information about you. Just like how did you suddenly appear in the black market in Abydos...I remember that at that time, you were in Abydos to fulfill a commission, right?"

Seeing Nagisa's sudden realization, Lin En nodded slightly apologetically.

However, in response to Lin En's action, Nagisa did not say much, but just sighed helplessly.

Then she turned to look at Mika who was standing next to Lynn.

Chapter 44 What were you laughing at just now?

Faced with Nagisa's sudden gaze towards her, the little smile that was still left on Mika's face quickly disappeared.

Before Mika could think of how to explain herself, Nagisa came to her angrily - at least that's what she saw.

But she knew very well in her heart that the girl in front of her did have reason to be angry.

If it was the old Nagisa, not to mention other things, there would definitely be countless more students guarding her house. And considering her usual style, Mika wouldn't be surprised even if someone from the Justice Realization Committee showed up here.

But now, not only is there no one from the Justice Realization Committee here, there is not even a guard.

In other words, not only had Nagisa been waiting here alone for her and Lin to come back, but she also told the students who had gathered here because they heard the noise not to approach this place, and not to care about what was happening here...

In this situation, not to mention Nagisa, even she herself would probably be anxious and on pins and needles.

But Nagisa suppressed all her anxiety and worry, sitting here quietly, waiting for their return...

"…I'm sorry, Nagisa-chan."

Looking at Mika who lowered her head slightly towards her, Nagisa was a little surprised, but after opening her mouth slightly, she just sighed.

Then, while Mika looked a little surprised, Nagisa reached out and gently hugged her.

"As long as you're okay."

"what……"

Perhaps because of shyness, or for some other reason, Nagisa hugged Mika gently and then quickly let go.

At this moment, Nagisa looked like she had a lot to say to the two of them, but she seemed a little overwhelmed and seemed to be hesitant.

Seeing this, Lynn smiled and reached out and put her hands on their shoulders, then pushed them towards the house.

"It's late at night and a bit cold outside. Let's go inside and talk."

Hearing this, the two nodded silently at the same time and returned to their original seats.

Although there was still wisps of steam coming out of the teacups in front of the three people, no one took the initiative to pick up the cup.

After looking at Lin En who nodded slightly at him, Nagisa let out a sigh of relief, turned to the good friend he had been dealing with since childhood, and smiled as naturally as possible.

"When Mika rushed out just now... there were tears in her eyes. I've always known... I know Mika always has a lot of her own thoughts in her mind, but I've never delved into it. Because I think... this should be trust."

At this point, Nagisa couldn't help but clench her hands slightly.

"But if I think about it carefully... Ever since we became members of the tea party and became the organizers, we seem to have stopped expressing all our thoughts. Whether it's Mika, Shengya, or me... It's the same. As a leader, this may be very normal. But... This is not right. Unconsciously, it seems that we have become... estranged for too long."

After hearing what Nagisa said, Mika didn't know what to say.

For a moment, the thousands of words she wanted to express to the other party were choked in her throat.

However, at this moment, Lynn chuckled and patted Weihua on the back.

Because he knows very well that many times, even if you want to respond to what others say, it also requires courage.

As an adult, I should give them courage when they lack courage.

As if she really gained courage from Lin En's actions, Weihua took a deep breath.

"Nagisa-chan... you've changed a lot too. To be honest, I actually thought the teacher was just joking, but I didn't expect you to really be waiting for me here... If it was you from before, I think you would have either returned to your room and waited for someone to notify you, or... this place has been surrounded by the children in charge of defense, right?"

Although she said some sarcastic words, Mika's face showed a sincere smile from the bottom of her heart.

"I feel... a little happy. It feels like... like the old Nagisa-chan."

"…Because I chose to believe in the teacher."

Having said that, Nagisa couldn't help but look at Lin En, who was sitting next to the two of them with a smile on her face, with a complicated expression.

"If I didn't believe the teacher... I would have completely collapsed when Mika ran away. But I thought that he was not only the only person who could understand me at that time, but also... he was the teacher recommended by Mika."

"……Um."

However, in the face of Nagisa's "retort", Mika did not show the slightest sign of disgust, but nodded slightly.

As for Lin En, who was slightly grimacing because of the unprovoked attack, they didn't seem to notice it at this moment.

"More importantly... I don't want to lose Mika like this. Because Shengya's death not only makes me afraid of my own death, I am also afraid that Mika will die. After all... we are friends, aren't we?"

"Really... Nagisa-chan, these words are really embarrassing, aren't they?"

Although she said these slightly teasing words, tears were streaming down Weihua's cheeks again without her noticing.

"I...I don't want to do that either. I also want to be with Nagisa-chan...and Seiya-chan..."

After a somewhat depressing silence, Weihua wiped away her tears and couldn't help but chuckle.

"Come to think of it... Nagisa-chan, how long ago was it that we sat down and talked like this? It seems like a long time..."

"Yeah, it's been a long time."

Nagisa and Mika nodded slightly, looked at each other for a moment, and smiled at the same time.

Many times, it is easy to determine where things will eventually go - as long as you can trust each other.

"so……"

Nagisa said this while looking at Mika seriously with a slightly confused and puzzled expression.

"Weihua, what were you laughing at just now?"

"Eh?"

Mika, who had never expected Nagisa to ask this question, couldn't help but froze in her tracks.

"Um, um...Teacher..."

Facing Mika who looked at him for help and Nagisa who looked at him puzzledly, Lin En turned his face slightly as if he didn't notice them, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said with a smile as if nothing had happened.

"Well, the black tea brewed by Nagisa is still so fragrant and mellow."

"Haha, thank you for the compliment, teacher."

"Teacher, please help me!"

Seeing Nagisa casting a slightly scrutinizing gaze at her again, Mika suddenly felt like crying but had no tears.

However, in response to Weihua asking him for help, Lin En just chuckled slightly.

"It's a good thing that the relationship can be restored to its original state, Mika."

"Teacher?!"

Chapter 45 Fishing

Fortunately, Nagisa didn't dwell on this issue for too long, because now they had more important things to discuss.

So, the three people soon calmed down and had a good talk in the room with the big hole in it about what had happened.

Mika told Nagisa very frankly about her plan to attack Saint Ya, her hatred for the Eden Treaty and Gehenna, and her exchanges with Arius' students.

"..."

Looking at Nagisa who fell silent because of her words, Mika couldn't help but lower her head slightly.

However, just as she was waiting for criticism, what she heard was a helpless sigh.

"Should I say this is really your style..."

"Eh? Aren't you angry, Nagisa-chan?"

After stealing a glance at Nagisa, Mika found that the other party was not as angry as she had expected, so she immediately raised her head with a puzzled look on her face.

"Of course I'm angry! Mika, you didn't discuss any of this with me, but just did it on your own. Shouldn't I be angry?"

Seeing Nagisa looking at her with an angry look on her face, Mika suddenly shrank back in fear.

"After all, Nagisa-chan, you will definitely not agree to Arius' return to the Holy Trinity, nor will you not sign the Treaty of Eden, right? If the Treaty of Eden is successfully signed, then there will be no way to implement these plans..."

"Of course I will sign the Treaty of Eden. Because the Treaty of Eden is a way, perhaps the only way, for the Holy Trinity and Gehenna to reconcile and reduce the endless losses now."

Seeing the undisguised disappointment on Mika's face, Nagisa couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.

"But... I won't object to Arius' return."

"……Eh?"

As if she hadn't reacted yet, Weihua blinked woodenly.

"Because... putting aside the matter of the Treaty of Eden, Mika actually really wanted those children to return to Trinity, right? It's just that she didn't expect Arius to be playing his own cards behind the scenes, so she was taken advantage of, right?"

Having said that, Nagisa took a sip of black tea and shook his head helplessly.

"That's why Shengya said you were an idiot... If you had come to me for a discussion, perhaps the situation would be much better now."

"But this kind of thing...I can't say it out loud..."

Looking at Mika who was mumbling so softly, Nagisa couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"If that's the case, then there's still time for everything."

Just when there was an awkward atmosphere between the two of them, the silent Lin En suddenly spoke.

"Now, Shengya is still alive, and Weihua has confessed what she did and the plan that has not yet been implemented. So... there is still time for everything."

"Ah...eh?"

While Mika looked stunned by Lin En's words, Nagisa reacted quickly.

"I see... If that's the case, then there really is still time for everything."

Faced with this conversation that could be completely called a riddle, Weihua immediately spoke with some indignation.

"Why are Nagisa-chan and the teacher becoming like Shengya-chan and starting to speak in such incomprehensible language?"

But before the two of them could explain anything, Weihua muttered as if she suddenly remembered something.

"Besides... I always feel like Nagisa-chan's look... looks like she's going to do something bad..."
