Teacher Xia Lai is also teaching in Kivotos today

Chapter 68 Convenience House , it’s up to you guys from now on?

"..."

Faced with Azusa's questioning, Saori remained silent.

In fact, the answer to this question couldn't be simpler - "It's a matter of course, for the princess."

But Saori knew very well in her heart that this was not what Azusa wanted to ask.

Saori herself knew the answer to that question.

But just as Nero was about to take a step, a voice that had obviously been distorted reached their ears.

"Hello? Let's test it out. Can Saori-chan hear me?"

"?!"

Unlike Nero and the others who looked surprised, Saori and Azusa's eyes suddenly widened at the same time when they heard this slightly familiar tone.

Ignoring the reactions of the people present, the voice rang out again.

"Although I haven't seen you for a while, Saori-chan seems to have changed a lot. Besides, through the battle just now, I think even if you grew up in such an arrogant and hypocritical hatred, you have found the answer, right?"

"You...you are?!"

Looking at Saori who seemed a little out of control for some reason, Nero and Mika couldn't help but look somewhat puzzled.

"Although I still have a lot to say to you, but right now... let me make up for my mistake of leaving without saying goodbye. Dove, call over."

As soon as he finished speaking, a flash of light suddenly appeared.

"boom--"

Along with the sudden gunshot, a bullet came flying at high speed and hit the floor in front of Nero.

Obviously, this was not a miss, but a deliberate miss.

Nero stopped and the smile on his face faded slightly.

"Tsk, I didn't feel there was another person at all!"

At the same time, Weihua also began to look around, trying to find the person who had just shot at them.

However, before she could discover the other party, a deafening explosion suddenly sounded!

--------

Time goes back dozens of minutes.

"Teacher, according to the current situation, the students of Arius should gather here and retreat. If Shirasu Azusa's judgment is correct, they should start fighting near this area."

Listening to Alona's report in the headphones and looking at the map displayed on the monocle, Lynn nodded slightly.

"A church?... It's a fitting place for a school called Holy Trinity... But Arius and the others know so many underground passages, and they can remember them by heart... If they can use their memory for studying, they will be amazing."

"...Teacher, can you please be serious? I don't completely agree with your plan yet!"

In response to Alona's complaints, Lin En just chuckled and changed the subject.

"The location should have been sent to the convenience house, right? How long will it take them to get there?"

Hearing the hidden meaning in Lynn's words, Alona answered truthfully.

"Well... judging from the current location of their phones, they should be able to reach the church in five minutes. If we infer from the information obtained by monitoring the communication between Arius students and Shirasu Azusa and her team, Arius students should set out in ten minutes and arrive at the square in front of the church in about seven minutes. And Shirasu Azusa and her team should arrive at the church and ambush in about thirteen minutes."

"If that's the case... send a message to the convenience store and have them abandon the first layer of ambush traps and set them directly from the second layer. Although judging from their travel time, Azusa and the others should not have much time to set traps, but in order to prevent our ambush from being discovered by the enemy, it is better to abandon the more conspicuous traps."

"I understand."

While answering Lynn in this way, Alona had already sent his instructions to the convenience house via message.

In fact, if Atsuko and the others looked up slightly in the direction of the moon at this time, they would be able to see the white figure they had dealt with before, who was now on the top of the abandoned building, and the cloak fluttering in the wind behind him.

After taking a look at Saori and the others who were gathering and commanding the remnants of the defeated troops in the distance, Lin En jumped off the building and spread his glider, which had been converted into a glider by the engineering department, and flew towards the church at the "evacuation point".

After a brief and exciting flight, Lynn landed on top of one of the buildings next to the church.

"Good evening, A... President Aru of the convenience store."

"Hehe, good evening, Joker-san."

Although she had seen the other person from a distance, Aryu was still a little flustered when she saw Lin En land next to her. But the next moment, she regained her confident expression.

"I didn't expect to receive your commission. After all, I haven't heard any news about you for a long time."

"Well, because I also have a lot of things to deal with... like this one I entrusted you with."

After reaching out and gently pulling the brim of his hat, Lynn also looked at Arru with a smile.

"Don't worry! You know, [No mercy] and [As long as you pay, we will do anything]... these are the mottos of our Convenience House 68! We will definitely be able to complete your commission perfectly."

"…But why don't you take a deposit?"

However, in response to Lynn's question, Aruna answered without any hesitation.

"Because not collecting deposits is an iron rule of our Convenience House 68?"

"……what?"

Just as Lynn was slightly stunned by Aruna's answer, another voice reached his ears and answered his doubts.

"Because Aru said... [Once you receive the deposit, you have to obey the customer's orders]."

Looking at Kayoko walking up the stairs, Lin En smiled and nodded at her.

"Good evening, Kayoko-san."

"Well, good evening."

When Kayoko smiled back at Lynn, Aruna nodded with a very serious look on her face.

"That's right! We collect commission fees after completing the work magnificently... If this order is disrupted, the vision pursued by our convenience house will not be achieved!"

"Eh? Vision? So there is such a thing?"

Along with these half-doubtful, half-teasing words, Lin En felt someone jumping onto his back and hugging his neck.

"Hmmmm... It's been a long time, Joker-san?"

Hearing these words that deliberately emphasized the tone of the title, Lin En smiled helplessly.

"Good evening, Mutsuki."

"Mutsuki... can't you see that Joker-san is already troubled by your actions?"

"Hmm? It's just a greeting."

Despite what she said, after being glared at by Aru, Mutsuki still let go of her hand, fell back to the ground and picked up the black travel bag that she almost never left.

"Besides... Mutsuki, have you forgotten? We are cold-blooded lawless outlaws who are not bound by laws and disciplines!"

"Is that so? Ah, I remember now."

Seeing Mutsuki's look of sudden enlightenment, Lin En turned his head away and for some reason felt the urge to put his hand on his forehead.

At the same time, he met Kayoko's eyes, who was looking at him.

What was very strange was that Lin En actually read the same emotions in the other person's eyes as his own.

"As Kayoko just said, even if it's a client's request, it's the same. Sometimes it becomes a shackle that binds us - because they may use it to force us to do things we don't want to do."

Aruna, totally unaware of the eye contact between the two, waved her hand, causing the coat draped behind her to fly up.

"That's why commission fees can only be collected as a reward for success! This is the iron rule of our Convenience House 68!"

"Wow! Aruna-chan is so domineering!"

Looking at Mutsuki who was clapping, not sure whether it was out of sincerity or just for fun, Lin En was speechless for a moment.

"I see... I understand the situation. I hope you can successfully complete my commission."

Hearing this, Aryu patted her chest confidently and said.

"Joker, just rest assured!"

But then, Aruna, who seemed a little uncertain, asked Lynn about this.

"But... is it really enough to just stop the opponent? No need to annihilate him?"

"Well... that's not necessary. All you have to do is to hinder the other party's pursuit a little bit."

Thinking back on the lineup of students chasing Saori and the others, Lin En couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.

"…pursuit?"

Noticing Aruna's confusion, Lynn smiled and tapped his headphones.

"When the time comes, I will contact you through this."

"Hoo...Hoo...Aru-sama! All the bombs have been installed!"

While Aruru was still confused, Haruka came to the rooftop, panting slightly, holding a shotgun.

However, when she subconsciously looked towards the position of Aryu and the others, she also saw Lin En standing between them.

"what--"

Facing Haruka in this state, Lin En flashed in front of her and reached out to touch her head.

"Thank you for your hard work, Haruka."

"Ah...thank you, thank you."

"Speaking of which... President Aryu."

After calming Haruka down, Lynn turned to look at Arru.

"Before I open fire or give an order... could you please hold your fire?"

"Hmm? That's not a problem... But how can I tell that it was you, Joker, who fired the gun?"

Hearing Aryu's question, Lynn smiled and pointed to the top of the church not far away.

"I'll be on top of the church at that time. Aryu, you should be able to tell where the gunshots are coming from, right? And if possible, I'll use the radio to notify you when I fire."

"Yeah... that's no problem."

"Then I wish you all a successful start."

Seeing Aryu nod, Lynn also nodded with a smile, waved his cloak, and threw the hook towards the top of the church.

After watching Lin En's back disappear into the distance, Arru finally came to her senses and coughed twice.

"Well, you heard it, this is Joker's commission! We must complete it seriously, understand?"

“Nuhuhu… Don’t worry, Aru-chan.”

Mutsuki still had a smiling face when he said this, but a hint of seriousness flickered in his eyes.

"After all, this is a request from Joker-san."

On the other side, when Lynn arrived at the top of the church, which had a "big skylight" due to disrepair, he threw out several small drones that could be seen everywhere in Kivotos, and controlled them to hide in the surrounding buildings.

Not long after everything was arranged, Azusa, Mika and others rushed to the church.

However, Zi did not install mines or other traps outside the church, but chose to ambush directly inside the church.

A few minutes later, Saori and the others also arrived at the church, and were caught by Azusa and the others as expected.

When Saori and Azusa were arguing with each other, Lin En wanted to send a signal several times, but he still suppressed the anxiety hidden in his heart.

Because of this, when he saw Saori using the halo to destroy the bomb to divert attention while using flash bombs and smoke bombs to cover Atsuko and others to escape, Lin En couldn't help but chuckle.

Sure enough, Saori is still Saori. No matter how empty her words are, she has already found her own answer in her heart.

After throwing grenades and EMP bombs to help Saori attract the attention of the soldiers and destroy the drone used by the engineering department for reconnaissance and detection, Lynn connected to the drone hidden in the building and made a declaration using his code name in the Arius team.

But just as he exited the drone link, Alona's slightly puzzled voice came into his ears through the headphones.

"Teacher Lin En...why did you help those students of Arius?"

"..."
