Teacher Xia Lai is also teaching in Kivotos today

Chapter 30: The Last Meal in Gehenna

"Waaaaaaah Teacher, don't go!"

Seeing Ibuki rushing in from the cafeteria door and hugging him and crying, Lin En was a little at a loss for a moment. He could only frantically comfort the crying Ibuki.

"Be good, I just changed my job location, it's not like I won't be able to come back in the future."

When Lynn spoke to comfort Ibuki, Iroha, who pushed open the cafeteria door and walked in, couldn't help but sigh.

"Fortunately, President Makoto and Vice President Gao Yue are not planning to come, otherwise, Teacher Lin En, you might be facing a declaration of war from the Pandemonium now."

"This isn't my fault at all, is it?!"

In response to Iroha's words, Lynn, knowing full well that she was not exaggerating, replied in a somewhat collapsed manner.

"Although this is true, I'm afraid President Makoto won't care so much."

Hearing this, Lin En sighed softly and touched Ibuki's little head who sat on his lap.

"So why did the teacher suddenly leave Gehenna? Isn't it better to stay here? Ibuki will always be with the teacher."

With the double comfort of Lin En's hug and consolation, Ibuki finally calmed down a little and hugged him and started to act coquettishly.

"Because besides Gehenna, the teacher has a lot of things to deal with."

Looking at Ibuki with tears in her eyes, Lin En reached out and scratched her nose and said this with a smile.

In fact, Lin En felt a little regretful. If he had been in Gehenna when he came to this world, he would rather stay in this place that brought him a warm daily life and memories than the [Xialai] set up by the president of the Federation Student Union.

However, before coming to Gehenna, Lin En had seen some bad things happening in Kivotos.

Lin En is not the kind of good person who will help others when he sees someone suffering, but if the other person has the opportunity and reason to be saved, and he happens to have the ability to do so, Lin En will still extend his hand and help the other person.

Therefore, Xia Lai's teacher's identity as a powerful person was an offer he could not refuse.

Looking at the face in front of him that was already extremely familiar to him, Ibuki couldn't help but speak.

"Are you really leaving? Why can't you stay?"

As he spoke, Ibuki's tone already contained a pleading tone.

In response, Lynn simply replied with a calm smile.

"Even if it's Ibuki, he can't stay in Gehenna all the time. Whether he's going out to play or for other reasons, there must be a time when he needs to go out with Iroha or Makoto, right?"

Looking at Ibuki who was staring at him, Lin En said this calmly.

"It's the same for me. Now, besides Gehenna, there are other places that need the teacher's help."

Although it was a bit euphemistic, Lin En believed that Ibuki would definitely understand this level of statement. It would be better to say that his words were not only for Ibuki to hear, but also for the other people present.

Somewhat unexpectedly, when Ibuki was about to say something, Haruna came up and touched her head.

"Teacher Lin En is a very capable person. It would be unreasonable for him to stay in Gehenna forever. There are still many people in Kivotos who need Teacher Lin En's help."

"But it's really unreasonable to suddenly impose such a heavy workload on the teacher..."

Unlike Haruna and others, Iroha, who is also a middle manager, immediately realized the workload that this identity brought.

In response to Iroha's words, Lynn smiled and gave her a thumbs up.

"It's okay, Iroha. Don't forget, we were accomplices who slacked off together. Don't worry, when I find that there is really too much work, I will definitely slack off!"

"…It would be nice if it could really be like this."

When Iroha sighed like this, the sounds of several footsteps accompanied by slightly dissatisfied voices came into everyone's ears.

"This isn't something you should be proud to say, Teacher Lin En."

After handing the ingredients to Fengxiang, Junko, who happened to come out of the kitchen, subconsciously took a step back after seeing the girl in the lead with a devil-like aura.

"Why...why is Chairman Hinata here?"

Not only Junko, but everyone in the Food Research Club also froze.

"…Disciplinary Committee?"

Hearing Haruna's slightly surprised words, Mingli couldn't help but reveal a somewhat solemn expression.

"It's terrible."

However, unlike the other three, Quan, who was lying on the table after being kicked out of the kitchen, spoke with a hint of sadness.

"Is this what they call the 'last meal'? But I haven't even had the chance to start eating..."

Seeing the reactions of everyone in the Food Research Club, Hinata sighed helplessly.

"Besides kidnapping Fengxiang yesterday, have you done anything else bad? I just came here to see Teacher Lin En. Why do I feel so guilty after seeing her?"

After saying this to everyone in the Food Research Club, Hinata turned to Lin, who was still holding Ibuki.

"Although I have anticipated many possibilities, I did not expect that Teacher Lin En is actually an adult with such status."

"To be honest, like Chinatsu, I didn't know about this until this morning."

Hearing this, Ako, who was standing next to Hina at the beginning and complained about Lin En's idle remarks, said to him in dissatisfaction.

"Then Teacher Lin En, you can't just leave Gehenna without saying anything. You should at least hand in your resignation first, right?"

At this point, Yazi seemed to remember something and complained in a low voice.

"You just give gifts to people without asking for anything and then leave without saying anything. Do you intend to make them feel guilty for the rest of their lives for not giving you a gift in return?"

"That's right, at least we should give you a gift in return."

Facing the complaints from Ako and Iori who were standing on either side of Hina, Lin En could only smile bitterly.

"I really don't care about returning the gift..."

“But we care.”

After saying this, Yazi glared at Lin En and handed him the thing under the tablet in her hand.

"This is……"

"This is my favorite novel. If teachers feel that they have too much work, they can take a break by reading a book. After all, reading a book is better than lying on the sofa and doing nothing."

Hearing Yazi's suggestive words, Lin En could only smile awkwardly.

"But... I didn't expect Azi to give me this kind of return gift..."

“What…what…Teacher Lin En, what’s that expression on your face? If you did something for me, I would at least express my gratitude! Really…”

After Ako returned to Hina with some embarrassment, Iori handed the gift box in his hand to Lin En.

"this is……"

“Don’t demolish it!”

Before Lin En could finish his words, Iori, with a blushing face, interrupted him.

"You are not allowed to open it now! You can't open this thing until you get to Xialai!"

"...Okay, okay, I'll take it down after I get to Xialai."

Seeing Iori giving him a gift with an expression as if he wanted to eat him up, Lin En could only laugh awkwardly.

"Teacher Lin, please accept this."

Unlike the other two, Chinatsu very casually took out a small package from her travel bag and handed it to him.

"This is a medical kit. In addition to emergency medicines for treating wounds, it also contains injections for dealing with emergencies."

After pushing up her glasses, Chinatsu spoke to Lin En in a serious tone.

"Although I really hope that Teacher Lin En will never need these things, Teacher Lin En is an adult without the protection of a halo and may even be injured by stray bullets. Just in case, he still has to carry these things with him."

Faced with this, which was the most normal gift so far, Lynn nodded to Chinatsu.

"Thank you, Chinatsu."

After seeing the gifts given to Lin En by the members of the Discipline Committee, Ibuki, who was sitting in his arms, first showed a somewhat conflicted look. Then she took off the alarm tied to her little bear bag and tugged at Lin En's clothes.

"Teacher Lin En, this is for you!"

Although he often saw the alarm tied to Ibuki's bear bag, Lynn was still a little confused about its function and did not take it, but looked at Iroha.

As if he understood what Lynn was thinking, Iroha chuckled.

"This is the alarm that President Makoto gave to Ibuki. As long as you press this button, Makoto will receive the alarm immediately. Then, Makoto will lead all the main forces of Pandemonium to the location of the alarm as quickly as possible."

"..."

After listening to Iroha's explanation, not only Lin En, but even the people around him fell silent.

"Um... Ibuki-chan, I appreciate your kindness."

Lynn said with a bit of a smile.

"This is something that Makoto gave you, so keep it well and don't give it to anyone else."

"Eh? But, I also want to give something to Teacher Lin En..."

Ibuki lowered his head in disappointment as he said this, his calves swaying slightly in the air.

"Because, like Iroha-senpai, Teacher Lin En always chats with me, plays with me, and sleeps with me... So, I also want to thank Teacher Lin En..."

The moment Ibuki finished speaking, Lin En, feeling the thorny gazes around him, couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth slightly.

Then, Lin En, who forced himself not to care about it, coughed lightly and said to her with a smile.

"Don't worry, Ibuki-chan. I will definitely come back to Gehenna in the future. Then, can we play together again?"

“Okay! Teacher Lin En, let’s make a pinky promise!”

After making a pinky promise with Ibuki, who smiled again, Lynn looked at Hinata.

"Thank you for your help during this time, Hinata."

Hearing Lynn's thanks, Hinata just chuckled and shook her head.

"In fact, at the beginning, the reason why I agreed to help Teacher Lin En was just for my own purposes. But even so, the teacher's subsequent performance and words and deeds surprised me. And from the results, the teacher also gave our Discipline Committee a lot of help. This alone is enough to repay me for the teacher's help."

"I know very well that teachers are capable of more than just this, so when I learned that the teacher was appointed by the president of the Federation Student Union, I was not very surprised. At the same time, I also understand that Gehenna should not be a cage that imprisons teachers."

Hinata raised her head and looked at Lin as she said this.

“So, Teacher Lin En, go do what you want to do.”

But before Lynn could say anything, Hina chuckled as if she remembered something.

"But Teacher Lin, there is one thing I hope you can remember——"

Hinata looked directly into Lynn's eyes as she said this, and spoke to him seriously.

"You are not only Xia Lai's teacher, but also our Gehenna's teacher. When you need help, you can come to us and we will definitely provide you with the best help we can."

After Hinata said this, facing the other people's gazes that conveyed the same meaning, Lin En smiled and nodded.

"Well, I will."

"Okay everyone, this is the last dish!"

After placing the last plate of fruit pie as dessert on the long dining table that was made up of several tables at the side, Julie greeted Lynn and the others with a smile.

"…Although we do have quite a few people here, aren't we making too many dishes?"

In response to Ako's slightly doubtful words, Junko waved her hand nonchalantly as she looked at the table full of delicious food.

"Don't worry. Whatever is left will be swept away by Mingli and Izumi in the end."

"Wow... Can't we eat yet? I'm starving!"

After hearing Quan's somewhat "unromantic" words, Lin En smiled and looked at Fengxiang who came out of the kitchen last.
