Teacher Xia Lai is also teaching in Kivotos today

"Yes, everything has basically been settled, and the rest is basically normal follow-up processing of the incident."

"In that case, the little one and I will go back first. Kirito-san and Seizono-san, I have had a great time in Trinity these past few days, thank you."

"Eh? Are you leaving so suddenly?"

Unlike Mika's direct question, Nagisa frowned slightly.

"Minister Meigan can rest for a few days at Trinity if he wants to. And the reason why this matter was resolved is thanks to your help and that of Alice."

Facing Nagisa's request to stay, Nero stood up from his seat, waved his hand and said with a smile.

"After all, I am the president of C&C, so I have to go back. Now that the matter has been resolved and the teacher is safe, my mission is naturally over. So, see you later, Seizono-san and Kirito-san."

"Ah, Alice plans to go back with the teacher later!"

Seeing Alice, who was sitting in Lin's arms, say this, Nero shrugged indifferently.

"Well, it's up to you if it's a little one. Teacher, I'll leave Alice in your care, okay?"

"give it to me."

After getting Lin En's answer, Nero smiled and gave a thumbs up to Mika and Nagisa, then waved to everyone and turned to leave the conference room.

Chapter 99 Let Them Go

"Hmm...how should I put it..."

After the door of the conference room was closed, Weihua, who was lying on the tea table, spoke as if she was a little depressed and regretful.

"Actually, I really like this straightforward Minister-chan..."

"Well, at least it won't be annoying."

Having said that, Nagisa looked at Mika as if she had finally remembered something.

"Speaking of this...Mika, how are you feeling now?"

"Hmm... Although it's a bit embarrassing to say this directly, I feel like I'm in a better and more comfortable mood now than before, you know?"

However, looking at Mika who seemed to be imagining the future, Nagisa smiled and poured cold water on her.

"But you still have a hearing after this, right?"

"what--"

Seeing Weihua's speechless look, Lin En couldn't help but chuckle.

Although the incident did not cause any serious consequences, Mika still had to accept a school-wide hearing for her actions. No matter what, it is an undeniable fact that Mika participated in the attack on Shengya.

Fortunately, Weihua did not make the final mistake, and what she did afterwards was enough to make up for her mistakes.

"Wow... Nagisa-chan, can't you say something happy? I just tried so hard to forget about this..."

Seeing Weihua looking somewhat pitiful, Lin En smiled and picked up a macaron from the table.

"It's okay, Mika. I'm here."

As Lin En said this, he handed the macaron in his hand to Weihua, wanting to encourage her like he did that night.

But what he didn't expect was that, perhaps because of simple laziness, or perhaps just because he didn't think too much, Weihua didn't reach out to take the macaron, but directly raised his head and took the macaron from Lin En's hand.

"Really...Mika, can't you pay a little attention to the occasion?"

Facing Nagisa's complaints while she held her forehead with her hand, Mika, who had reacted, just let out a symbolic "ah".

Just as Lin En smiled awkwardly because of Weihua's behavior, he felt his clothes being pulled by a small hand.

When he turned around, he found that it was Alice sitting in his arms, looking straight at him, with a hint of desire in her mysterious blue eyes.

Seeing this, Lynn couldn't help but smile, picked up another macaron and fed it to Alice.

"Come on, Alice."

“Ah—Hmm.”

Alice immediately opened her mouth obediently, bit the macaron that Linn fed her, and chewed it cutely with her cheeks puffed out.

When Lin En turned his gaze back, he found that Nagisa was staring at him for some reason.

"Ok?"

Lin En was stunned at first, but an idea popped up in his mind and he couldn't help but blink in surprise.

After all, during this time together he could feel that although they were both leaders of the tea party, Nagisa was different from the straightforward, even unconcealed Mika, and Shengya who was mumbling incomprehensible words when they met before. She very much fits the stereotype of outsiders about Trinity College - dignified, ladylike, calm in the face of emergencies, and a template for the image of a young lady.

But now this young lady...she can't possibly want me to feed her like I did to Mika and Alice, right?

After hesitating for a moment, Lin En couldn't help but reach out to the macarons on the tea table.

He really couldn't resist the urge to try it.

However, before he could take action, Nagisa had already taken the last macaron on the tea table and ate it with the impeccable and dignified appearance of a young lady.

"What's wrong, Teacher Lin En?"

Looking at Nagisa who seemed to be nonchalant but had a faint blush on her ears, Lin En, who was also embarrassed to speak out his speculation, could only cough lightly as if nothing had happened.

"Nothing, I just thought of some things in the past, and what I was holding at that time happened to be macarons."

"Hmm? It sounds like this matter is quite important to Teacher Lin En?"

Facing Nagisa, whose interest was unexpectedly aroused by his words, Lin En smiled and shook his head.

"Rather than saying it's important, it's better to say that you care about it. It's like you saw a stray cat on the street one day, but it was inconvenient for you to take it home at the time, so you could only feed it with what you had on hand. But when you went to look for it later, you couldn't find it."

"...So that's it."

Nagisa, who pieced together the general idea from Lin's words, nodded in understanding.

However, at this moment, Lin En and Nagisa did not notice the expression of Sakurako who was sitting next to them.

From the close relationship between Lin En and Minister Nero, to Lin En feeding Mika without scruples and Nagisa not stopping him, to Lin En and Nagisa's "confrontation" which seemed to be hidden even though I couldn't understand it...

If Lin En was originally just "someone who heard from others and seemed to be a very reliable adult" in Sakurako's mind, then Lin En's series of performances now have deeply impressed her to some extent.

There is no doubt that Lynn must be a teacher with great abilities and who is deeply trusted by his students.

"Perhaps... Teacher Lin En can help me solve the troubles I'm having now?"

Just as Sakurako was struggling with her inner struggle, Lin En turned to look at Nagisa again.

"Speaking of which... since Mika wants to attend the hearing, does that mean she should be locked up first?"

Hearing Lin En's suggestive words, Nagisa put down the teacup and chuckled helplessly.

"It's still necessary in terms of procedures...but if there's a teacher's guarantee, it certainly won't restrict your freedom too much."

"Then...will Nagisa-chan stand on my side during the hearing?"

"Of course."

Almost without any hesitation, Nagisa smiled and replied to Mika.

"Even if the whole school thinks you are wrong, I will defend you with all my strength."

"...Hehe, this is the first time I heard Nagisa-chan say that. Just like a teacher, she would say something embarrassing."

Looking at Mika who was lying on the table and tilting her head to look at him, Nagisa couldn't help but smile.

"Maybe... I was influenced by the teacher."

"By the way, Nagisa, it seems that the Justice Realization Committee has arrested a lot of Arius students in this operation, right?"

Seeing Nagisa nod, Lynn continued.

"What are you going to do with them next?"

Hearing Lin En's question, Nagisa frowned slightly.

"According to the regulations... they should be imprisoned for a period of time, and then let them..."

Just as Nagisa was struggling with how to deal with these Arius students, Lynn put down her teacup and told her a plan that surprised her a little.

"Let them go."

Chapter 100 Even if I am charged with treason!

"Eh?"

Weihua raised her head and looked at Lin En in a daze.

Not only Mika, but even Nagisa and Sakurako who was listening were stunned.

Obviously, the people present did not expect Lin En to say that.

Lin En patted the head of Alice, who was chewing on some snacks in her arms because she didn't understand anything, and looked at them and said this.

"Mika, isn't the reason you did that because one of your dreams is to reconcile Holy Trinity and Arius?"

“Yes, that’s right…”

Looking at Weihua's hesitant look, Lin En chuckled.

"In that case, let me help you make it happen. I don't want to see any more unnecessary disputes and hatred, so... let's end this matter here, Nagisa, and Sakurako, what do you think?"

"The Sisters already regret the expulsion of these students, and it would be great if it could be resolved peacefully."

Unlike Sakurako who quickly nodded in agreement, Nagisa frowned slightly but did not dwell on it and asked directly.

"Teacher...why did you make such a decision?"

"How should I put it... I just remembered some things from the past."

Lin En answered with a helpless smile.

In fact, after he woke up, a lot of memories appeared in his mind that were not there originally.

To be precise, it is the memory of "him before he came to Kivotos".

"Perhaps hatred cannot be resolved so easily, but showing leniency once can earn compassion in the future."

As if by magic, a yellow-brown strip of object appeared in Lin En's hand as he spoke. The object was something that Nagisa and the others had never seen before.

Staring at the thing in his hand, which perhaps only he knew was called a "cigar", Lynn couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

Although those things are not all of his memories, they are indeed among his most important memories.

"It is easy to start a war, just a small spark, but it takes the sacrifice of millions of people to end it."

As if she had noticed something, Nagisa, who was also staring at Lin's appearance, spoke with a sense of understanding.

"Is that what the teacher experienced before he came to Kivotos?"

After putting the cigar away under everyone's curious gaze, Lynn smiled and shrugged.

"Well...you can think so."

Seeing Lin En's appearance, Sakurako clasped her hands together and placed them on her chest as if praying, then smiled gently.

"Teacher Lin En is really gentle."

"Uh……"

After hearing Sakurako's words, Lin En showed a slightly speechless expression.

"Why did Sakura suddenly say that?"

"Because Teacher Lin En not only cares about everyone in Holy Trinity, but also those Arius students whom she has never met. Even if they did something like that, Teacher Lin En is still thinking about them, isn't she?"

Sakurako said this to Lin En with a smile.

"Isn't this gentle?"

"What kind of gentleness is this?"

After hearing what Sakurako said, Lin En couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

"This is just what I should do as a teacher."
