Teacher Xia Lai is also teaching in Kivotos today

After hearing what Mika said, Nagisa couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly.

"Ah, Mika-san, speaking of mischief... it seems that what you have done is much more excessive than mine, right?"

“Gurgle—”

Looking at Weihua lying weakly on the table, Lin En couldn't help but chuckle.

"It seems like the relationship between you two has recovered faster than I thought. You've even started bickering."

Upon hearing this, although Nagisa smiled and nodded slightly, Mika, with a dissatisfied look on her face, raised her head and protested.

"No... No way! It's Nagisa who's bullying me!"

Putting aside Mika's protests for the moment, Lynn looked at Nagisa who was also staring at him.

"Nagisa, Mika... I don't think many people know about this incident where she broke through the wall, right?"

"Well, I have used my identity to persuade two patrol teams to leave and asked them to keep it secret. I think as long as I block the news tomorrow, it will basically not be spread out."

"That's good. In that case, I will go back to the cram school tomorrow and find the 'traitor of Holy Trinity'."

Seeing that she seemed to be left behind by these two people who were thinking more forward, Weihua interrupted them quickly.

"So...Sensei and Nagisa-chan, what are you talking about??"

"We are fishing?"

"Fishing...fishing?"

Looking at Weihua's clear eyes that were not polluted by knowledge, Lin En pondered for a moment and then explained to her.

"To put it simply, it's just waiting for the prey to take the bait."

"I... I still know what fishing means! Teacher, what a joke!"

Lynn couldn't help but chuckle at the sight of Mika puffing up her cheeks angrily and punching the air.

"After all, I really want to know why the spy you planted, Shirasu Azusa, didn't kill Shengya. And...what happened to Arius? Why did he want to kill Shengya?"

Nagisa put down the red teacup in her hand and spoke to Mika seriously.

"I want to know the truth behind all this. If you want to return to Holy Trinity, you should at least know everything about them, right?"

"Yeah...that's true."

After nodding slightly in agreement with Nagisa's words, Mika also looked at the other party with a smile.

"That is to say... what I'm going to do next is the same as what I originally planned, right?"

“…I don’t know why you described it in such a strange way, Mika, but that’s exactly what happened.”

Looking at Nagisa who was drinking black tea calmly, Mika smiled as if she had thought of something and said.

"Come to think of it, I didn't expect Nagisa-chan to be able to find the tea leaves. She brewed them here by herself, exactly as the teacher said. It's really funny."

However, in response to Mika's words, Nagisa, who was adding milk and sugar cubes to the black tea, also replied with a smile.

“Because it’s the same as before.”

"what……"

Hearing Nagisa's answer, Mika was stunned, and then a slightly nostalgic expression appeared on her face.

"Well... because we used to play together often..."

"so……"

After putting down the spoon in his hand, Nagisa looked at Mika... and Lin En in confusion again.

"Mika...what were you laughing at just now?"

"Uh?!"

It was totally unexpected that Nagisa still remembered this incident. Feeling a little helpless, Mika quickly reached out and pulled the sleeve of Lin En, who was about to stand by and watch like before.

"Teacher! Help me!"

"Mika...you can't always trouble the teacher with your own affairs, okay?"

Although Nagisa was smiling at this moment, there was no trace of smile in her eyes.

"Or... do you want to eat Swiss rolls, Mika-san?"

“Eh?! So scary, so scary! Teacher! Mr. Kaito! Help me!”

"Mr. Phantom Thief?"

While Nagisa was stunned by Mika's sudden address, Lin En smiled and said as if nothing had happened.

"No, I think Nagisa is pretty cute now."

""Eh? ""

Faced with Lin En's comments, the childhood sweethearts once again showed surprise at the same time.

"Teacher, do you really think Nagisa-chan is cute like this? Could it be that you like this type of person?"

Unlike Mika's subconscious words, Nagisa quickly regained her composure and coughed lightly.

"Really? Really! Teacher, please stop following Mika's lead and making trouble! Really..."

Although Nagisa said this, Mika immediately noticed something and tilted her head, speaking thoughtfully.

"Eh? But, Nagisa-chan, your face is like this—"

Looking at Nagisa picking up the Swiss roll with a smile that was definitely not friendly, Mika swallowed the second half of her words sensibly.

As for the "instigator" of all this, he watched the interaction between the two of them and drank a sip of red tea with a smile.

"Haha, what a great relationship."

Chapter 46: So, you are the Phantom Thief?

late at night.

When the moon rose to its highest point, a white figure swept across the night sky with the sound of wind and fell into the woods in front of a building that looked a bit old.

With Alona's help, Lin En easily avoided all the surveillance cameras that might capture his face or appearance, and easily returned to the cram school's dormitory building.

As for why he didn't just land directly inside the building...

Because according to what Alona had discovered, Azusa was now holding his weapon, in the sniper position he had mentioned earlier, where he could have a bird's eye view of the entire area from the main entrance to the front of the building.

When Lin En heard the news, he couldn't help but frowned slightly.

This was not because he realized that he had dug a hole for himself, but because it was about two hours since the lights were turned off. In other words, Zi should be resting in bed like the others.

However, when this doubt arose in Lin En's mind, he immediately thought of the answer.

"It seems that Arius... or rather, Atsuko and the others' situation is not an isolated case in Arius."

After sighing inwardly, Lin En put away his cloak and walked towards the path in front of him on the right without hesitation.

Lynn knew very well that although this building had two entrances, front and back, judging from Azusa's Arius's identity, the rear entrance must have been filled with all kinds of booby traps, land mines and trip mines in her unique way.

Although he could indeed try to wade through these minefields that were definitely arranged in a chain, not to mention how long that would take, if he accidentally slipped, he would probably become Himuro's favorite.

As for the front door… Although Lin En told Zi that the window could monitor the area, what he didn’t tell him was that this grove was the only place that could, and could only, avoid the view from that window.

If anyone was looking in this direction from any other window, he would be discovered immediately.

But from Alona's information, it seemed that everyone except Azusa was in the room. Not only was the corridor empty, but even the lights in each room were off.

After walking out of the grove, Lynn walked along the outer wall of the building towards the window of his room.

You know, this meeting between him and Nagisa was not only impromptu, but also top secret in a sense.

Rather, even Lin En, who proposed the meeting, did not expect that the meeting would end in such a situation.

"But...it's not bad."

Muttering to himself, Lin En used the hook to come to the window of his room, first opened the window quietly, and then landed silently on the floor of the room.

Although this place is not close to the students' rooms, it is better to try not to be discovered by them.

After taking a look at the desk lamp that was still on for camouflage, and the documents on the desk that showed no signs of being turned over, Lynn breathed a sigh of relief and closed the window very carefully.

"…Why do I feel like a thief when I go back to my room?"

After complaining like this, Lynn took off his hat, the cloak on his back, and his coat.

However, just as he was about to remove the mechanism installed on his arm, a voice suddenly came into his ears.

"So this is ah……"

For a moment, Lynn's movements froze.

But the next moment, his index finger and middle finger had already pinched a playing card.

"Click——"

Almost at the moment when the playing cards appeared, the lights in his room were turned on.

After squinting slightly because of the sudden strong light, Lin En quickly adapted to the light and immediately turned to look at the figure standing next to the door and switching it.

However, when he saw the other person, he couldn't help but be stunned -

Because the person standing next to the switch at this time was not the enemy he expected.

"Hanako? Why are you here? And..."

Although Lin En had many questions that he wanted to ask the girl in front of him, after hesitating for a moment, he still asked the question that he wanted to know the answer to the most.

"Why are you only wearing a white shirt right now?"

"what……"

Hanako seemed to have not expected that Lin En would ask this question first. She was visibly stunned at first, then she smiled and said to Lin En.

"Please don't worry about this. This is pajamas."

"..."

Hearing Hanako's answer, Lin En opened his mouth subconsciously, but found that he could not refute the other party!

Because even when he was working at Xialai, he would often sleep in his white shirt because he was tired or too lazy to change clothes the next morning.

Although both Alona and Fengxiang, who learned about this, would nag him that it was easy for the white shirt to get wrinkles, the white shirts he bought seemed to be of good quality, and so far there were basically no obvious wrinkles on his shirts.

Unlike the speechless Lin En, Hanako first looked at the playing cards in his hand, then looked at the top hat with a glowing halo that Lin En hung on the coat rack next to him, then she chuckled and nodded in understanding.

"I didn't expect that you, teacher, are the thief that is popular in the black market legends."

"…Black market ghost stories?"

Lin En, who was brought back to reality by Hanako's words, couldn't help but be stunned again.

"Yes, it is said that not long ago, a Phantom Thief who called herself Joker suddenly appeared in the black market without any warning, and in her first appearance, she easily blew up the bank of Caesar Group located in one of the black markets. After that, she was said to have fought with Tsurugi-san, who was called the Holy Trinity Strategic Weapon, and the aftermath of their battle alone destroyed an entire high-rise building... Not only that, she also received the recognition of the Phantom Thief of Kindness, one of the 'Seven Prisoners'..."

"Stop, I said stop."

Seeing Hanako excitedly narrating her glorious history in a strange way, Lin En suddenly felt ashamed as if the collection of poems he wrote in his youth was being read out by someone - although he didn't have such a collection of poems.

And if he remembered correctly, based on Hanako's description just now, some things seemed to have inexplicably turned into a very serious... misunderstanding?

"hehe."

Seeing Lynn rubbing his temple with a headache, Hanako couldn't help but chuckle.

"If that's the case, then I understand why Hifumi-chan didn't reveal anything about Miss Joker to the Justice Realization Committee after she was 'rescued'? Hmm... or should I say Mr. Joker?"

However, after hearing Hanako's slightly smiling words, Lin En couldn't help but frowned.

Not only that, his hand that was originally holding the playing cards was also slightly raised.

Chapter 47: Teacher...don’t you feel tired?

After Lin En calmed down a bit, he was not surprised by the so-called black market gossip. After all, in the eyes of others, the Joker who came and went without a trace and did those things was indeed suitable as a topic of conversation after dinner.

But…the situation regarding Hifumi is different.
