Teacher Xia Lai is also teaching in Kivotos today

After hearing Lin En's voice, the girl finally became aware of his presence.

"what……"

When Fumei came to her senses that day and saw Lin En's face clearly, she showed a look of confusion.

"……you are?"

In response to the girl's question, Lynn chuckled.

"You should stand up first, r...classmate."

Hearing what Lin En said, Hifumi finally noticed her current posture. Her cheeks blushed and she hurriedly stood up and bowed slightly to him.

"Um...thank you for your help!"

"You're welcome. Just remember to keep an eye on the situation when you turn the corner."

Facing the smiling Lin, Hifumi looked at him for a moment and then asked softly as if she had sensed something.

"Excuse me...Have we met somewhere before?"

Hearing Hifumi's slightly tentative question, Lin En answered with a flawless smile.

"I don't think so. After all, if I ever met a cute girl like you, I would definitely keep it in mind."

"Ahahaha...thank you for the compliment..."

As if she had not expected Lin En to say that, Hifumi's cheeks suddenly turned slightly red.

"Um... I'm Jiya Hifumi from Trinity College. May I ask who you are?"

"I'm Xia Lai's teacher, you can call me Lin En."

After hearing Lin En's answer, Hifumi looked surprised as if she remembered something.

"So you are Xia Lai's teacher?"

This time, it was Lin En who showed a look of surprise.

"You know me?"

"Well, I once heard about you from Hasumi-senpai of the Justice Realization Committee. She once said that you are a very trustworthy and reliable teacher."

"I'm just doing what a teacher should do. But I'm also very happy to receive praise from students."

After Asahi Fumi answered like this, Lin En chuckled and pointed at the other person's hands that were cupped on her chest.

"Of course, I'd be even happier if Hifumi-san was willing to return my phone to me."

It was not until this moment that Hifumi finally noticed the phone in her hand, which obviously did not belong to her.

"Ouch! S-sorry! I didn't mean to do that!"

Hifumi apologized repeatedly and quickly handed the phone she was holding to Lin En.

"Thank you."

However, when Lin En got his phone back, he found that Hifumi did not say goodbye to him and leave, but was staring at him closely.

To be precise, he was staring at the Pelolo keychain hanging on his phone case.

Chapter 71 Have we met before?

When Lin En noticed what the girl was looking at, he couldn't help but think that something was wrong.

In fact, when Lin En got the key chain from Hifumi, he seriously thought about what to do with it.

First of all, no matter what, this is a gift from my students, I definitely can't just put it or stuff it somewhere. But the embarrassing thing is that I don't have a key that can be fastened to this keychain.

Xia Lai naturally needed no explanation. Whether it was a cabinet door or an office door, as long as Lin En and Alona mentioned it, it could be unlocked and opened smoothly.

Although he also had keys to several places in Gehenna College, those keys had already been stored in the desk drawer of Xia Lai's office.

As for carrying it with him... In Kivotos where a fight could break out at any time, Lin En didn't want to lose the gift given to him by his students due to any accident - even if the other party didn't know it was him.

After much thought, Lin En hung this small keychain on his phone case as a pendant.

But he really didn't expect that not only would he meet Hifumi again under such circumstances, but also that he would meet her again in such a "perfect" way.

Just as Lynn was thinking about what to say to ease the situation, Hifumi suddenly said this.

"Um... Teacher Lin En..."

The girl shifted her gaze to Lynn's face and spoke softly.

"Have we met before?"

"Ok?"

In response to Hifumi's question, Lynn blinked, then smiled as if nothing had happened.

"Does this count as flirting? You're the first student I've ever met who dares to flirt with me."

Hearing this, Hifumi, who finally realized this, couldn't help but blush slightly and let out a wry smile.

“Ahahaha…it does sound like that…but, Teacher Lin’s eyes do give me a very familiar feeling, so I asked the teacher this…”

But what Lin En didn't expect was that even in the face of such an embarrassing situation, Hifumi still looked directly at Lin En, and then pointed at the key chain on his phone case for no reason.

"Um...Does Teacher Lin En like Peloro too?"

"That's it."

Knowing that continuing to hide the truth would only arouse more suspicion, Lin En simply raised his phone and gently shook the key chain.

"After all, it's pretty cute, isn't it?"

"Yeah! Yes! Of all the MomoFriends, my favorite is Pelolo-sama!"

After nodding in response with a hint of joy, Hifumi blinked slightly and asked Lin En with a thoughtful look.

"By the way, where did Teacher Lin En buy this keychain?"

Hearing Hifumi's question, Lynn's movements paused slightly before he chuckled and answered.

"I bought this on the black market in Trinity. Does Hifumi want something like this, too?"

In fact, apart from this keychain, the last time Lynn had come into contact with MomoFriends products was before he came to Gehenna College, when he was still living in the black market of Trinity.

At that time, he had used MomoFriends plush dolls to awaken the light deep in the students' hearts.

Although he had only met that student once, the memory still left a deep impression on him.

However, it was precisely because of this experience that Lin En took the opportunity to figure out where he could get such "weird" things from the Trinity black market.

Of course, Lin En himself did not expect that his experience would come in handy at this time.

"Eh... so that's how it is..."

Hearing Lin En's answer, Hifumi frowned slightly, then relaxed, smiled and nodded.

"I understand. Thank you, Teacher Lin En."

Lin En was a little surprised that Hifumi unexpectedly did not continue to pursue.

After all, he was prepared to tell the other party the location of the store where he had done business if the other party continued to ask questions, but he did not expect that the girl would brake in such a strange place.

"Ah, that... I have some things to deal with, so I'll leave first. Goodbye, Teacher Lin En."

Looking at the girl who bowed slightly to him once again and waved goodbye as she walked away, Lin En, who also waved goodbye to her, was actually a little confused.

However, he didn't intend to think too much about it, as long as he could get rid of the "suspicion" temporarily.

Although Lin En didn't intend to completely hide the identity of "Joker", he also didn't intend to expose it directly. After all, this identity might come in handy for other purposes someday.

"…Speaking of which, it's about time to contact the engineering department for more props."

Walking on the way back to the Abydos campus, Lynn couldn't help but think of this incident.

Normally, the equipment that the engineering department sent along with the clothes should be enough for him to use for a long time. But unfortunately, Lin En encountered two unexpected situations in a row.

One was an encounter with the Crane City of the Justice Commission, and the other was the destruction of the facilities deployed by the Caesar Group in the Abydos Desert.

Although both issues were resolved in the end, the price was that Lin En consumed these props at a rate many times faster than normal. Smoke bombs and grenades could be purchased directly from the store, but special props like playing cards that could be used as bombs could only be ordered from the engineering department.

After contacting Ge Yuan via mobile phone and informing her of the situation, although the other party was also very surprised at Lin En's consumption speed, she also said that with the speed of the engineering department, they would be able to deliver those special props to Lin En in a few days.

"Hmm... There's nothing unusual about the situation in Abydos. In that case, let's go back to Xialai the day after tomorrow. The Federation Student Union probably has a lot of things to deal with, and I don't know how Aryu and the others are doing now..."

Just as Lin En was talking to himself, his eyes suddenly flashed and he stopped.

Almost at the same time, Lin En, sensing a familiar smell, turned his head without hesitation and looked towards the alley behind him.

Then, Lin En saw a figure hiding behind the wooden box in the alley.

However, the girl did not notice that due to the narrow space, a corner of the backpack on her back was exposed.

Although it was only a small part, Lynn could still see that it was a backpack with the shape of a Pelorro.

Chapter 72 You’ve done a great job, right?

"..."

Faced with this unexpected situation, Lin En couldn't help but be speechless.

"Come out, Hifumi."

Seeing that the other party didn't seem to have any plans to show up for the time being, Lin En sighed helplessly.

"Your schoolbag is exposed?"

Hearing this, the white Pelolo schoolbag suddenly shook as if frightened.

Then, Hifumi came out shyly from behind the wooden box with an embarrassed smile on her face.

"Ahahaha... As expected, the teacher found out..."

Looking at Hifumi who stuck out her tongue slightly and tapped her head embarrassedly, as if trying to get away with it by being cute, Lin En rubbed his temple as if he had a headache.

"I know there's a nice dessert shop nearby. Let's go over there and sit down."

"……Um."

--------

"Tea, please."

In front of Hifumi, the robot waiter placed the tea she ordered in front of her.

"Thank you... thank you..."

It seemed that because she was sitting opposite Lin En, Hifumi had completely lost the carefree look she had when talking to Lin En just now, and now looked a little reserved.

Seeing this, Lin En didn't say anything. He just chuckled and took a sip of the black coffee in front of him to wake himself up.

In fact, it’s not that Lynn dislikes sweet things.

When he was in Gehenna, he had learned a lot of ways to make sweets from Fengxiang. In addition, he also had a lot of experience in cooking, so his cooking skills once reached a level that even Fengxiang would be amazed.

The reason why he chose black coffee is because it has a more obvious effect of refreshing the mind. So when he usually drinks coffee, Lin En drinks black coffee directly.

After all, Lin En stayed up quite late last night, so it was normal for him to feel a little mentally exhausted.

After putting down the cup in his hand, Lin En looked at the girl sitting opposite him and asked first.

"Hifumi-san, may I ask why you are following me?"

"because……"

After hesitating for a while which was visible to the naked eye, Hifumi seemed to have finally made up her mind and spoke to Lin En.

"Because I've always wanted to meet you, Joker-san... No, I should call you Teacher Lin."
