Kayoko noticed this and quickly looked down. It was only then that she realized she was sitting on someone's chest. However, the other person's face was behind her, so she couldn't tell who it was.

Fortunately, the other party was probably unconscious and had no reaction, otherwise...

Just as Kayoko was about to get up to check who the other person was, Aruna, who had crawled out from the ruins in front of her, coughed several times and looked around in panic.

"Mutsuki? Kayoko? Haruka? Where are you?"

"…Aru, I'm here."

After hearing Kayoko's voice, Aruru hurried to her.

"What just happened?!"

However, before Kayoko could answer, Mutsuki, who had crawled out from another ruin, shook his head and spoke with a ferocious look on his face.

"It's because our cold-blooded outlaw, Aruna-chan, will blow up an entire street without hesitation if she doesn't like it! I really have a new respect for you, Aruna!"

Perhaps it was because Mutsuki's usual behavior seemed a little out of place, and Aru's brain was in a state of slight malfunction at the moment, so she didn't realize that Mutsuki was actually angry at the moment, and she completely misunderstood what he meant.

"Ah... That's right! I'm an outlaw who can do anything for money! Even if someone asked me to attack Abydos and take Teacher Lin away, I would never hesitate..."

But before Kayoko could correct Aruru's words, another voice came into their ears.

"You guys..."

"Who... who is it again?!"

Hearing the unexpected voice, Aryu quickly turned around and looked at the other person.

At the same time, Kayoko, who had recovered a little, quickly stood up.

At this time, standing not far from Convenience House 68 and the others was Akane, who looked angry. Following behind her were the people from Abydos, who also looked serious.

"Although it's not my working time yet, after seeing the message the teacher sent us, I wanted to come over and have breakfast with the teacher... But, you guys actually did..."

At this moment, Akane, with an indignant look on her face, noticed the man that Kayoko had just sat under.

"Teacher?! You actually treated the teacher like this?! And you're still like this..."

Almost at the moment she realized the other person's identity, Qianxiang's chest was filled with incomparable anger.

"How dare you insult the teacher like this! I haven't even... Unforgivable, absolutely unforgivable!!"

After hearing what Akane said, everyone in Convenience House 68 finally noticed that the person Kayoko was lying on was none other than Teacher Lin En, who had prevented them from getting a good night's sleep the entire night before!

“I, I, I… I actually blew up the teacher to death… I actually blew up the teacher to death… I deserve to die, I deserve to die, I deserve to die, teacher, I’m sorry, sorry, sorry!!”

Haruka, who had come to Aruru's side at some point, suddenly widened her eyes when she saw Lin En. She instantly squatted down and curled up into a ball, and her whole body began to tremble.

"...Fortunately, I was able to block most of the aftermath of the bomb in the store, and the teacher was also lucky, so now he is just temporarily unconscious."

Fortunately, this time, before Haruka took out the bomb again and made the situation even more out of control, Kayoko quickly reached out to help up Lin En, who was lying on the ground and looked a little weak, and at the same time took out her handkerchief to wipe his face.

"Anyway, I hope everything is alright..."

After leaning Lin against the broken wall, Kayoko sighed.

"It's just that it seems that some of the reasons are hard to explain now... But there's nothing we can do about it. After all, sooner or later there will be a winner."

Then, she pulled out the gun from her side and looked at the people on the countermeasures committee.

"Everyone from Abydos, we have been commissioned to deal with you. Although the timing is not right, it doesn't matter, as long as we don't involve Teacher Lin En. President, call the hired mercenaries over."

However, Akane refuted Kayoko's words without showing any appreciation.

"Stop pretending! Teacher Lin En has told us many times that you guys in the convenience house are not bad kids...but I didn't expect you to be the second group sent by Caesar! Are you worthy of Teacher Lin En's trust in you by doing this? If he were sober now, how disappointed he would be! And you actually insulted the teacher like this...We will definitely avenge the teacher!"

At this moment, not to mention Nonami and Shirako who looked sullen, even Hoshino who usually looked lazy had a sharp light flashing in his eyes.

"Oh……"

After hearing what Akane said, even Mutsuki put away his usual cynical smile, and even Aruko looked as bewildered as Haruka at that moment, while Kayoko's already furrowed brows became even deeper.

At the same time, Ayane's report was heard through the headphones of everyone on the Countermeasures Committee.

"The Admiral has been confirmed to be safe! He only suffered minor injuries and has been sent to the nearest shelter!"

"That is to say... there is no need to hold back!"

Akane shouted angrily while pulling the bolt of her rifle.

"That's exactly it."

As he said this, Hoshino had already unfolded and set up his folding shield.

“Drones can be deployed at any time!”

After hearing what the two of them said, Ayane also responded in the communicator.

After seeing the people of Abydos united in their hatred of a common enemy, Aryu opened her mouth to explain something, but even she knew that it would be useless to say more at this point.

After hearing the approaching footsteps of the mercenaries rushing to the battlefield, Aryu couldn't help but grit her teeth.

"That's right! Abydos, you see how bad I am! Let's fight right here!"

Chapter 16 Is this probably considered one-on-one after-school tutoring?

"Boom-boom-da-da-da-da-da-da"

After hearing such a noise in a daze, Lin En, who still had a headache, gradually became conscious and opened his eyes.

"…Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?"

After seeing the somewhat unfamiliar ruins in front of him, Lin En subconsciously muttered three philosophical questions to himself, but it didn't take him long to recall what he had witnessed before he fell into a coma.

"I'm afraid that Haruka accidentally detonated the bomb again..."

Lin En scratched his head while talking to himself and sighed helplessly.

"This is really weird. I didn't encounter any bombs like this when I was in Gehenna. Why do I feel that the surroundings have become more dangerous after leaving Gehenna..."

After checking that there were no missing or extra parts on his body, Lynn frowned slightly.

"It's not a big deal, but it still hurts..."

"Boom!"

Before Lin En could continue thinking, an explosion not far away interrupted his thoughts.

When he looked in the direction of the sound, he discovered that the people from Convenience House 68 were leading a group of mercenaries to fight against the people from the Countermeasures Committee for some reason.

Although Lin En was somewhat surprised that Convenience House 68 and others, who clearly had the advantage in numbers, were somehow at a disadvantage, he quickly connected the information he had learned in his mind.

Based on his understanding of the people in Convenience House 68, they would never hire such a large number of people to follow them for no reason - after all, they even have to be careful with their daily expenses, and they would never spend money aimlessly like this. In addition, they are also being hunted by the Disciplinary Committee, so such an existence that would only slow them down is absolutely impossible.

But if this happens, it means that they have accepted a commission that they feel is beyond their ability to complete on their own.

Recalling the information he had obtained in the black market, Lin En instantly figured out the reason and muttered to himself helplessly.

"I really don't know why Caesars Group chose them to do this..."

After standing up with the support of Murasame transformed by the card, Lin En looked at the battlefield not far from him.

--------

"We are almost there to wipe out all their mercenaries! We must quickly take back the teacher!"

Hearing Akane's words from the other side, Kayoko sighed as she changed the magazine of her pistol.

“No… Although these mercenaries didn’t shoot in the teacher’s direction, they didn’t care about the weak teacher at all when they attacked. We have to split our attention to protect him, otherwise the teacher might be injured by these guys’ stray bullets or explosions… We should have given up this commission from the beginning… Oh, I hope Teacher Lin En won’t hate us because of this…”

"It seems a little unlikely..."

Mutsuki, who closed the receiver, no longer had his usual heartless look, and spoke with a hint of disappointment.

"Maybe we went a little too far this time..."

"No maybes! Remember to apologize to the teacher after this battle!"

After hearing Kayoko's very rare and somewhat unpleasant voice, Aruna, who was not far from her, was about to say something when she was interrupted by a voice coming from the side of the battlefield.

"Cease fire! Stop it, everyone on both sides!"

When everyone looked in the direction of the voice, they discovered that it was Lin En who was supporting himself with a samurai sword.

"That's enough! How long are you going to keep killing each other? As a teacher, I order you to stop! There's no need to continue this fight! If you still regard me as your teacher, then put down your weapons!"

Seeing that Lin En didn't seem to be seriously injured, Kayoko sighed and lowered the gun in her hand.

"There is really no need to fight any further... We have already lost, President."

"Okay... well, since the teacher and Kayoko both said so..."

Although Aruru hesitated for a moment, she still obediently put down the sniper rifle in her hand and ordered the mercenaries to cease fire and leave.

After seeing the firepower of Abydos, these mercenaries who had suffered heavy losses were eager to flee as soon as possible. Therefore, after Aryu gave the order, they almost instantly retreated from the battlefield, dragging their wounded and unconscious companions.

It was not until this time that the people of Abydos came out from their shelters.

"Teacher! You haven't let out enough anger yet!"

"Yes...Okay teacher."

Unlike Akane, who still showed some anger, Shiroko and Nonami both nodded slightly and put away their weapons.

"Akane-chan, the teacher is doing this for our own good. Hurry and help him over here now!"

"Okay... well..."

Seeing that even Hoshino was admonishing her like this, Akane bit her lip and hesitated for a moment before finally putting down the gun.

"Teacher, we are indeed sorry for you... We used you even though we knew our target was Abydos."

Looking at Kayoko who came to him and apologized to him, Lin En chuckled and reached out to tap her head.

"It's okay. After all, you didn't know your employer was Caesar. You were just doing some normal commissions. And I can see that you don't want to fight anymore. Today's battle was just a misunderstanding. But... Caesar Group is definitely not a good group. It's better to cut off contact with them as soon as possible."

"Of course, we won't let it control us. We will give up the commission when we return."

Kayoko said this and looked at Aru seriously.

"Boss, do you understand?"

"Oh, okay! Anyway, I always feel like you, Kayoko, are more like the president than me..."

After ignoring Aruna's nagging, Lin En came to Haruka.

"I'm sorry... Teacher... Please hate me as much as you want... I hurt you, I don't deserve to live..."

Looking at Haruka who was about to commit seppuku in the next second, Lin En smiled bitterly and gently stroked her head.

"It's okay, I believe it was just an accident. You just went through too many bad things, so you became like this. If you feel empty inside, just come to me, don't be afraid."

As Lin En said this, he seemed to remember something, gave her a thumbs up, and said with a smile.

"I haven't received the weed you said you would send me yet, don't forget it."

Hearing Lin En's words, Haruka showed a docile look, smiled and nodded.

After withdrawing his hand, he looked at Mutsuki who was beside Kayoko.

"Mutsuki, Haruka's personality is rather rigid, so most of the time she can't tell whether you are joking or sincere. You should be more careful in the future. Do you understand?"

After seeing Mutsuki nod obediently, Lin En looked at Aruna, who seemed a little at a loss.

"Teacher Lin En, I..."

Before Aru could finish her words, Lynn had already placed his hands on her shoulders.

"Aru, I am happy for you to have such a good member by your side. No matter what, just be brave and go towards your dream. It doesn't matter what it is, just do what you want to do."

Seeing Lin En's serious expression, Aruna finally regained her usual calmness and composure.

"...I understand, teacher, I will never let you down!"
