Teacher Xia Lai is also teaching in Kivotos today

"I want salted."

Bai Zi followed closely and nodded slightly.

"Give me the miso one, please."

Unlike Ayane who looked cautious, Hoshino spoke "brutally".

"I want the special miso ramen! And a serving of char siu!"

"Teacher, what flavor would you like to eat?"

Hearing the question from Hoshino beside him, Lin En glanced at the menu again and answered.

"Then give me the same one as Hoshino's."

"Ok!"

After recording the types of ramen chosen by everyone on the menu board, Akane did not leave immediately, but stood there, looking a little hesitant.

Just when Lin En, who was somewhat confused, was about to ask, Qian Xiang suddenly turned around and came to Lin En's side, bent down beside him and whispered to him.

"If the teacher really likes this uniform... I can always wear it for you in the future!"

After saying that, while Lin En was still dazed by these words, Qian Xiang ran away with her hands covering her face.

"Teacher? What did Akane-chan tell you?"

Looking at Akane who did this for unknown reasons and fled quickly, Nonami asked Lin En with a puzzled look on her face.

After being brought back to reality by Nonami's words, facing the slightly puzzled gazes of the crowd, Lin En smiled and replied, recalling the slight heat coming from the girl's hot cheeks.

"This is a little secret between Akane and I."

"Hmm... this answer is too cunning!"

What was somewhat surprising was that in the face of Nonami's dissatisfied words, Hoshino actually nodded in agreement.

"Um... Uncle, I'm also very curious."

Although Baizi and Ayane didn't say anything, their gazes already made their attitudes clear.

"Ahem, it's nothing, just some small things."

However, it was obvious that the people in Abydos did not agree with Lin's perfunctory explanation, but continued to question him.

Just when Lin En was tired of defending himself, the wind chimes hanging at the door rang, causing everyone to look over subconsciously.

"Welcome to Shibaseki Ramen! How many people are there?"

Akane, who had returned to her normal self, smiled and asked the student who came in.

"That... that..."

The girl, who was wearing the uniform of Gehenna College but looked a little timid and socially anxious, asked.

"This... the cheapest dish here, how much does it cost?"

The moment he saw the girl, Lin En, who had stayed in Gehenna for some time, immediately recognized her.

Although Lin En had never met the other person in person, he had seen his appearance on the wanted flyer in Hinai's office.

This is a girl named Haruka who belongs to Convenience House 68 and is wanted by the Discipline Committee.

But what puzzled Lin En was why Gehenna's students would come to such a remote place as Abydos.

As Lynn was thinking, Akane's voice rang out.

"The cheapest is the Shiba-seki ramen for 580 yen, which is also our signature dish here and is very delicious!"

"Thank you very much!"

After bowing to Akane, Haruka did not find a place to sit down, but instead opened the door and walked out.

Just as the onlookers were puzzled, Haruka returned to the store again. But unlike before, there were three other girls beside her this time.

But there is no doubt that these are the remaining members of Convenience House 68.

"I'm really lucky. I can actually find dishes under 600 yen."

Mutsuki, who had a red halo above her head and long white hair tied in a side ponytail, said cheerfully.

Hearing this, Lu Ba Mo Aru beside her chuckled nonchalantly.

"This is what they call things will work out when the time comes. Everything is as I expected."

Hearing Aruru say this, Haruka who was following him immediately spoke with an expression of admiration on her face.

"No... As expected of President Aru!"

"……Ugh."

Facing the three people in front of her with different performances, Kayoko, who was walking at the end and wearing a loose black sweatshirt with the hem reaching to the top of her thighs and a hint of her skirt, sighed helplessly and reached out to smooth her long hair on the side of her face.

"Teacher? You look like... you know them?"

Hearing Ayane's slightly curious question, Lin En nodded slightly.

"Yes. They are from Gehenna's convenience house 68. I think they came to Abydos to avoid being wanted by the Discipline Committee."

"Wanted...wanted?! Could it be that they are actually dangerous people?!"

Hearing Ayane's words, Shiroko had already put his hand on the rifle beside him, Nonami also revealed a slightly serious look, and even Hoshino adjusted his posture imperceptibly, looking as if he was ready to attack at any time.

"Uh...this..."

Recalling the information about Convenience House 68 that he saw in Hinai's office, Lin En couldn't help but scratch his cheek.

"They are actually... uh... not really bad people... probably..."

"...?"

Chapter 11: Hard noodles, salty vegetables, double the minced garlic and lots of oil

Although she felt a little strange about their words and actions, Akane continued to perform her duties as a waitress as usual.

"Four of you, huh? This way, please."

However, after hearing her words, Mutsuki smiled and refused.

"No, no, it's just one bowl, it doesn't matter."

"...Only one bowl?"

Although Qianxiang had met all kinds of customers, this was the first time she had seen such a situation.

"Yes, so please give us four pairs of chopsticks, waiter."

Hearing Mutsuki say this, Akane couldn't help but show a surprised expression.

"Eh? Four pairs? Do you want to share a bowl of noodles among four people?"

Perhaps she misunderstood Akane's meaning, and Haruka, who was holding the shotgun tightly in her arms, suddenly showed a look of fear.

"Sorry... I'm sorry we're so poor!! We're really sorry we don't have any money!!"

Realizing that what she had just said seemed a little inappropriate, Akane quickly spoke up.

"No, no, no, that... Actually, you don't need to apologize like this..."

However, Haruka didn't seem to have heard Akane's words at all at this time, and instead spoke more excitedly.

"No! Having no money is like having no head. You have no right to survive! You are worse than an ant. I am so sorry to be worse than an ant!!!"

Kayoko, who was standing next to Haruka, sighed helplessly at these self-deprecating words that almost sounded like she was giving up on herself.

"Haruka, it's too noisy. It'll disturb others."

However, unlike Kayoko who was used to it, Akane seemed to be irritated by Haruka's words and spoke to her with a serious face.

"It's not a crime to have no money! Please stand up straight! You are all just students now! Even so, you are using your own money to eat here, right?! This alone is enough! Please sit down and wait for a moment!"

After saying that, Qianxiang ignored the people from Convenience House 68 who were standing there in a daze and turned to walk towards the kitchen.

"Just wait a moment, it will be ready soon."

Looking at Akaneka leaving, Kayoko couldn't help but blink.

"…I always feel like there's some subtle misunderstanding."

Although they said so, everyone in Convenience House 68 still sat down at the table near the door.

"We're not that poor, are we? If anything, it's all Aruk-chan's fault for spending money lavishly."

Mutsuki said this with a smile as he sat down next to Kayoko.

After witnessing the situation at Convenience House 68, Lynn stood up and walked over to General Shiba who was preparing ramen.

"Eh? Teacher? Why are you here? I was just about to bring your noodles over."

Looking at Akane, who was holding a tray with five bowls of ramen and looked confused, Lynn smiled and pinched her cheek.

"You can send them over first. I have something to discuss with General Chai."

"Oh well."

Faced with Lynn's actions, Qian Xiang blushed slightly, but she just nodded and walked towards the direction of the Abydos people with the tray.

As Lin En watched Qian Xiang go away, he heard General Chai's voice.

"This is the first time I've seen Akane like this."

Hearing this, Lynn turned around and looked at General Chai who was taking the ramen out of the pot.

"Akane is just a little bit dishonest."

After saying this with a smile, Lin En did not continue to be polite, but continued to speak to the other party.

"Boss, I want to ask you a favor... The four students over there are also my acquaintances. Although they only ordered a bowl of ramen, can you add something else to it? Of course, I will pay for the extra expenses."

"Your idea is exactly the same as Qian Xiang's. There's nothing wrong with that. Just consider it as encouragement to these girls. But there's no need to ask for money. I don't need this little money."

Hearing this, Lin En glanced at the knife scar next to General Chai's eye and chuckled.

"It seems that you, boss, are also a person with a story."

"It's just youthful recklessness."

Hearing the nonchalant answer from General Chai with a smile on his face, Lin En didn't say much and turned around and returned to the people in Abydos.

"Teacher! We have been waiting for you for a long time!"

Lin En sat down again and saw that everyone in Abydos was looking at him, and he couldn't help but smile and speak.

"You can actually eat first, you don't have to wait for me."

"That won't do! Even the teacher hasn't started eating yet, how can we get ahead of him?"

After hearing what Nonami said, Lin En noticed the approving looks from the others and picked up the chopsticks with a smile.

"Well, everyone, let's get started!"

"I'm gonna start now!"

After putting their hands together, everyone began to taste the ramen in front of them.

However, thanks to Lin En's keen hearing, even though he was far away, he could still hear the conversation between Convenience House 68 and others. In addition, he was sitting in a position where he could see their actions.

"In order to hire personnel for tonight's raid, we actually spent all our assets..."
