Teacher Xia Lai is also teaching in Kivotos today

"...I'm afraid they thought you were a kidnapper or something like that."

"I don't think I look like a kidnapper, do I?"

After complaining about Hoshino's words, Lin En continued.

"But fortunately, her other team members soon discovered the emergency treatment I gave to that student, which cleared my name. And the 'big sister' who punched me in the stomach also apologized to me very sincerely, and said that if I still felt dissatisfied, I could punch her in the stomach in return, and she would never object."

"So did the teacher beat him?"

"Of course not, I'm not that evil, okay?"

After Lin En protested to Xingye, a slight smile appeared on her face.

"That was also the beginning of my acquaintance with them. Of course, at that time I didn't expect that they were actually a kind of spearhead team, a tactical team that specializes in breakthroughs or infiltrations. It is precisely for this reason that they have many enemies."

Seeing Hoshino who seemed to have guessed something, Lin En smiled and nodded.

"Thanks to that, I not only lost my job after having a brief encounter with them, but was also targeted as an accomplice of theirs. So after that, I went through a difficult time with them. And my physique that can survive without sleep for several days was developed at that time."

Chapter 35: Two People of Equal Boldness

Looking at Lin En, who was sitting on the edge of the building and gazing into the distance with a slightly nostalgic expression, Hoshino first showed a thoughtful expression, but then returned to his usual lazy look, smiled and nodded.

"Although some doubts have been answered, many new doubts have arisen... However, you won't tell me more, teacher, right? But... thank you for sharing your past with me."

To Hoshino, Lin En's behavior was actually somewhat difficult to understand.

No, it was not so much that it was incomprehensible as it was that it made her feel a little bit unbelievable.

According to Lin En, the reason why he suffered such an "unwarranted disaster" was because he helped the unknown student. However, he would rather choose to experience this kind of life that can be described as completely displaced, and even "can't sleep for several days", and still did not choose to use his "adult" status to take the initiative to "draw a clear line" with those students.

Even now, he has no hesitation in helping Abydos, Convenience House 68, and these students.

More importantly, there is one very big difference between the adults that Lin En and Xing Ye met -

While he was giving to his students, he never "asked" or even "demanded" anything from them.

Even after experiencing all kinds of things, he still wants to help all students in need.

“…Teacher Lin En, you are really a strange adult.”

Hearing Hoshino's sigh beside her, Lin En shrugged, having no idea what she was thinking.

"To be honest, I haven't even seen other 'adults' like me in Kivotos. Maybe the 'adults' that exist in other places I haven't seen are also people like me."

Hearing this, Hoshino opened his mouth slightly, but in the end he smiled and took back the words that were about to come out.

Then, under Lin En's slightly puzzled gaze, Hoshino reached out and gently hooked his arm.

"Ah... Uncle, my old problem of anemia seems to have come back~ Uncle, I feel a little dizzy now, Teacher, can you please take me home? This is a request from a weak student, okay?"

"...I don't remember you having anemia, and I don't think you have anything to do with the word weak."

Despite complaining out loud, Lin En still stood up from the edge of the building and hugged the petite Hoshino.

The only difference from before is that now Lin En's action has changed from a side hug to a princess hug.

“Huh?! Uncle, I was just kidding! Just hold me like before!”

Facing Hoshino who was a little flustered by his unexpected action, Lin En chuckled barely perceptibly.

"This is my unique consideration for students who are unwell, okay? Okay, listen."

"But...but, if someone sees me, I'll be very embarrassed!"

"Even if someone notices us, do you think they can see us clearly?"

After saying that, Lin En didn't give Hoshino a chance to say anything else. He kicked off the top of the building and spread his hang glider, soaring into the night sky amid Hoshino's exclamations.

After a thrilling gliding exercise, Lin En landed on the street in front of Hoshino's house.

"Huh~ This is my first time going home this way..."

Although Hoshino's tone was still a little lazy at this moment, it could be seen from the fact that she jumped out of Lin En's arms the moment he landed that she did not seem to be very calm at this moment.

"Teacher, would you like to come in and sit down? Although I don't have anything at home to entertain you..."

Hearing Hoshino's words, Lin En, who was about to leave, was stunned at first, and then looked at her with a meaningful expression.

"It's late now... Can I take this as an invitation, little Xingye?"

“Ah…Ahahahahaha…”

Hearing this, Hoshino was stunned at first, then quickly understood something and gave an awkward smile.

"I...I was just joking, seriously...Good night, teacher!"

Looking at Hoshino who rushed into the house at fleeing speed and quickly closed it, Lin En couldn't help but chuckle and shook his head.

But then, as if he remembered something, he turned with a wry smile and walked towards his temporary office in the Abydos school building.

In fact, the reason why Lin En changed the way he held Xingye from a side hug to a princess hug was not only because he wanted to use this as a small "punishment" to see how she would react, but also because the previous action was already a little inappropriate.

Otherwise, Hoshino would probably ask Lin En if she had some secret weapon hidden in her pants to push against her hard penis.

"'The road is long, and the sword is my only companion'..."

As he was about to leave while muttering these incomprehensible words, Lin En suddenly realized that he was still carrying a large black bag filled with banknotes.

Of the two large bags of banknotes taken from the Countermeasures Committee, one was given to the convenience house just now, but the other bag could not find a suitable channel for use.

"… Never mind. Let's put it aside for now. Maybe it will be useful in the future."

While talking to himself, Lynn, with a large black bag slung over his shoulder, disappeared into the darkness of the street.

--------

"Ah... the teacher is really... unexpectedly bold..."

When Lin En left, Xingye, who was leaning against the door, couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

Although she knew very well that Lin En also knew that her words were just polite, but considering the current time and the atmosphere created before, even if she didn't mean it that way, her words more or less carried that color.

If Lin En really followed him in and finally came to that step, Hoshino thought that she did not have the confidence to decisively reject her.

"But... the teacher looks very bold on the surface, but he is very careful in strange places..."

After Hoshino muttered to herself, she walked into her room. Just as she was about to change her clothes, she seemed to remember something, walked to the bedside table, and picked up the photo frame on it.

"I seem to have met an adult who seems to be at least more reliable... Meng Senior... If he could come to Abydos earlier... maybe he could really fulfill your wish..."

After gazing at the photo in the frame, Hoshino's mood gradually calmed down.

However, just as she took off her clothes and prepared to take a shower and rest, she suddenly realized something -

She shouldn't have told Lin En where her home was, so how did he know she lived here?

"Ugh... Teacher, really..."

Although he spoke in a slightly complaining tone, a smile appeared on Hoshino's face involuntarily.

Chapter 36: Panic Countermeasures Committee

"Huha..."

The next day, Bai Zi yawned as he was pushing his bicycle slowly towards school.

"Good morning, Shirako-chan!"

Hearing this familiar greeting, Bai Zi smiled and turned to look at the other party.

"Good morning, Nona."

Nonami appeared from the side road and quickened her pace, coming to Shiroko's side and walking side by side with her.

"Baizi-chan, you don't look like you got enough rest last night. Is everything alright?"

"Nothing, just a little late."

"Well... I also slept a little late last night, haha..."

When Nonami yawned, a sigh came from the side.

"It seems like you didn't get enough rest last night..."

If Shiroko and Nonami were merely yawning, Akane who appeared in front of them as the voice was speaking could be said to have a completely tired look on her face.

"Wow! Akane-chan, did you not get any rest last night?!"

"That's not the case... Mainly because I was thinking about things, so I didn't sleep well at all."

After hearing what Akane said as they walked towards the school together, the other two were silent for a moment before Nonami was the first to ask.

"Could it be... because of Teacher Lin En's matter?"

"……Yes."

Perhaps because Qianxiang was really in low spirits at the moment, she did not deny it out loud without hesitation as usual. Instead, she hesitated for a moment and nodded gently.

"Well...me too."

Although she wanted to tease him out loud, after hearing the other party's answer, Nonami sighed softly after thinking about her own situation.

"I never thought that Teacher Lin, who is usually so gentle, would have such a side... I don't even understand why the teacher became like that. Is it because she is angry?"

"I think the teacher was probably angry about Caesars Group's behavior... But, I think the teacher was also thinking about us, right? After all, it was really late at that time, and even if we sulked in the activity room, it wouldn't help the actual situation at all."

After listening to Akane's analysis, Baizi nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, I think so too. But I think this kind of teacher is not bad either."

"Yes, at least this proves that the teacher is someone who cares about us and gets angry for us."

After taking over Baizi's words with a light chuckle, Nonami noticed Akane who had fallen silent for some reason after finishing her analysis.

"Akaneka-chan? What's wrong?"

"…I don't know why, but I seem to have a very strange feeling."

"It feels weird?"

"Yes... I always felt that the teacher was going to do something surprising again, so I couldn't sleep well last night..."

After hearing what Qianxiang said, the three of them were silent for a moment, then they all quickened their pace and ran towards the school building.

--------

"Wow--"

After opening the door of the activity room, the three saw Ayane, who was the first to arrive there as usual.

However, Ayane, who was supposed to be standing behind the table, was pacing back and forth in the activity room with a slightly anxious look on her face for some reason.

"Ayane? What happened?!"

Ayane, whose thoughts were interrupted by Akane's words, turned to look at the three of them, then quickly came up to them.

"Look at this!"

After taking the note from Ayane's hand, I found that there was only one line of words on it -

[Today's instructional course is cancelled, please take a good rest for a day! ]

And at the very end of this sentence, there is even a very cute emoticon.

"I arrived at the activity room early today as usual, but found that the teacher who usually showed up first was not in the activity room, so I decided to go and see how the teacher was doing. Since I knocked on the door for a long time and didn't hear the teacher's reply, I walked into the office without permission. As a result, I found that the teacher was not in the room and left this note."

After listening to Ayane's narration, the three people looked at each other after reading the note and all thought of the same thing.

"Teacher...did he go directly to Caesar Group?"

Hearing Nonami's guess, Akane grabbed her assault rifle without hesitation.
