Teacher Xia Lai is also teaching in Kivotos today

However, before Utahara could finish his words, he was interrupted by a voice with a hint of laughter.

"How could I be just passing by? I came here specially."

Chapter 6: The Teacher’s Intentions and Our Intentions

"Whoa?!"

Startled by the voice, Yaduli screamed subconsciously.

When the three of them looked towards the studio door at the same time, they found a young man standing there carrying a bag of pizza boxes and a backpack.

"Eh? Aren't all deliverymen robots? Is this a new type of robot?"

Unlike Yaduli who had not yet recovered from her shock, Utahara, who was observing Lin En, spoke.

"Yadoli, calm down, this is obviously not a delivery man, nor a robot, right?"

At this moment, a silent Xiang seemed to be possessed by something. It first trotted to Lin En's side, circled around Lin En, and continued to observe him intently, making Lin En a little at a loss for a moment.

"Um...Hibiri, is there something strange about me?"

After hearing Lin En's name, Xiang's body shook involuntarily, and then he stretched out his hand and pressed and pinched Lin En's chest, abdomen and arms.

"Uh... ring?"

Just when Lynn was wondering if Xiang had any strange habits, Xiang suddenly smiled.

“It’s really Teacher Lin En!”

"Eh?"

When Yaduri and Utara exclaimed in surprise, Xiang's eyes stared at Lin En with an even stronger glow.

"A man without a halo, with such a familiar tone, and a size that is almost exactly the same as the Phantom Thief costume I made... You must be Mr. Lin En! I have always wanted to meet you, and I didn't expect to finally meet you today!"

After hearing what Xiang said, Lin En finally reacted——

It seems that the girl just now pressed and pinched her body just to confirm the size of her clothes.

And from what Xiang said, it seems that the main part of the Phantom Thief Costume was made by her.

But, the fact that I could still remember the size of his clothes so clearly after such a long time... is a bit surprising in many ways, right?

While Lin En was struggling with what to say, Xiang continued to speak with a little excitement.

"Moreover, the various ideas and theories proposed by the teacher have greatly broadened our thoughts and ideas. It's really... really, thank you very much!"

"Nothing...nothing. Those are just some of my experiences and lessons as a teacher..."

When Lin En said this, Xiang, who originally carried an irresistible aura, suddenly seemed to have encountered or realized something, and suddenly wilted.

"That... that..."

After hesitating for a moment, Xiang took a step back and stood in front of Lynn.

"If...if it's possible...could you please shake my hand?"

"..."

Looking at the girl in front of him who seemed a little excited but also a little shy, Lin En couldn't help but chuckle and stretched out his hand.

However, just as he was holding Xiang's hand, he gently pulled it and hugged the girl in his arms amid her exclamation.

“Wow…Wow…”

Lynn didn't use too much force, but hugged Xiang gently and rubbed her head tenderly.

"Thank you very much, too, Hibiki. Thank you for making the Kaito costume for me. I like it very much."

"As long as the teacher likes it..."

Listening to the words that the girl squeezed out with some difficulty, Lin En chuckled and let her go.

"Wow wow wow wow..."

Although Xiang subconsciously took two steps back, judging from her eyes that had almost become mosquito-repellent and her red cheeks, she might need some time to return to reality.

"But... Teacher, you just said that you came to us specifically to bring pizza?"

Hearing Ge Yuan's question, Lin En nodded slightly, smiled and raised the bag in his hand towards her.

"Because I heard that you like to eat pizza, and now it happens to be dinner time, so I brought some over for you. It can also be regarded as a thank you for your help before. After all, only when you are full can you have the energy to work, right?"

As Lin En said this, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

Although Yuuka couldn't have lunch with him because she had something to deal with, it was still somewhat rude to ask other girls what they liked to eat.

Even though Yuka didn't show any emotion just now, Lin En still felt a little guilty.

"…I have to have a good meal with Yuuka afterwards."

When Lin En made up his mind, Yaduli, who was standing not far from him, spoke.

"Yeah... But even though that's what I said, having Xia Lai's teacher come over to deliver pizza to us... is still a bit too much..."

Yaduli scratched her cheek and said this somewhat embarrassedly.

"However, this is also a chance to get close to the teacher, so we must cherish it!"

"Well, that's exactly it."

As Utahara nodded in response, Yaduli walked forward and took the bag from Lin En's hand.

“Wow?! There are three of them! And they have different flavors?! Could it be that the teacher prepared one specially for each of us?!”

"Isn't that natural? After all, each of you three has a different taste, right?"

Hearing Lin En's answer with a smile on his face, Yaduli nodded seriously, then bowed slightly to him.

"Thank you so much, Teacher Lin En!"

Just when Lynn waved his hand to indicate that it was nothing, his thoughts finally returned to reality. Xiang, who took the pizza from Aduli, suddenly seemed to remember something and turned to ask Lynn.

"Um... Teacher, have you had lunch?"

It was not until this moment that Lin En suddenly realized that when he was in the pizza shop just now, he was busy buying pizza for several people in the engineering department and forgot to buy one for himself.

"…It seems that there isn't one."

Before Lin En could figure out how to evade the question, Ge Yuan, who had seen something from his reaction, had already made a judgment.

"In that case, if the teacher doesn't mind... why don't you eat with us?"

After hearing Xiang's suggestion, Yaduli, who had just opened the pizza box next to him, nodded and looked at Lin En seriously.

“These pizzas are indeed a gift from the teachers, but they are also a gift from us, so there is no problem!”

Seeing that the three people from the engineering department seemed to be looking at him with the same thought, Lin En could only chuckle.

"In that case, I would be disrespectful."

"Great!"

Chapter 7: The Burning Engineering Department

"Goooo... I'm so full! It turns out that one portion is a bit too much for one person. Fortunately, the teacher is here."

Hearing what Yaduli said, Lin En, who was packing pizza boxes, couldn't help but chuckle.

"Because I don't know how much you eat, I bought a pizza that might be a little bigger."

"But no matter what, we are very grateful to the teacher for buying us pizza."

Hearing Utahara say this, Xiang also smiled and nodded slightly.

"Thank you so much, teacher."

"It's not that I'm thanking you. After all, I have something to ask of you."

After putting away the pizza boxes and piling them in the corner, Lynn sat down next to the three of them.

"In that case, teacher, just tell us directly, and we will do our best to help you solve the problem."

When Utahara answered like this, Xiang took a look at the backpack that Lin En brought and guessed.

"Teacher... Is there something wrong with the Phantom Thief costume?"

"Ah... not really. This time I brought this suit here mainly to ask you to help me repair it, because I went through two troublesome battles wearing this suit before, so some parts may be damaged."

As Lin En said this, he lifted up the backpack at his feet, opened it, and took out the Phantom Thief Suit that was folded inside.

"Then let me do it."

Before the other two could say anything, Xiang took the lead and took the Phantom Thief costume, then excitedly ran to the workbench nearby.

Seeing Lin En subconsciously looking at Xiang who was leaving, Utahara couldn't help but chuckle and said.

"Teacher Lin, don't worry. Although this suit was made by the three of us, if it's just ordinary repairs and sewing, Xiang can do it alone. It's a good opportunity for the teacher to tell us what he wants to ask of us."

"That's right! This is a chance for us to perform well in front of the teacher! Maybe we can even become famous and get more funds and budget from the seminar!"

Hearing Yaduli's slightly passionate words, Lin En smiled awkwardly, and then told them the situation.

"I see... Teacher, do you want Xia Lai's cafe to have some facilities that are different from other cafes..."

In response to Ge Yuan's mumbling, Lin En replied with a smile.

"It's just temporarily called a cafe. The facilities inside are definitely not just cafe stuff. I'm also planning to put in some claw machines or game machines and stuff like that. This is a rough list I've prepared."

After quickly browsing the file that Lin En sent to him from Momotalk, Ge Yuan nodded.

"Don't worry, teacher. We will definitely live up to your expectations and design a facility that is unique even in the entire Kivotos!"

Although Lin En wanted to remind them not to make it so shocking, he swallowed his words after seeing the excited looks of the students from the engineering department.

Anyway, they wouldn't design anything too dangerous...right?

"Oh, by the way, Teacher Lin En, there is one more thing that might be more important."

Looking at Lin En's somewhat puzzled look, Ge Yuan said to him after putting down his phone.

"Although our technology is top-notch in the entire Millennium Institute of Technology, we can only make some machines that operate according to certain action logics, using the most basic programs. I suggest that the teacher connect these devices to a terminal with strict programs, otherwise some students, especially those from the Millennium Institute of Technology, may take advantage of program loopholes to do something. Although they don't have malicious intentions, I still hope that the teacher can pay attention to it."

After Utahara said this, Aduli nodded as if she shared the same feeling.

"Yes, for many students at Millennium Institute of Technology, the reason they do this is not to destroy the equipment or to save some money, but simply because 'the program is there'!"

"This...is like this..."

Hearing what the two said, Lin En wiped the sweat off his forehead and suddenly remembered that Alona told him a while ago that someone seemed to be trying to unlock his phone from the outside.

But Lin En didn't care at the time. After all, the important information was in the Shiting Box, and the phone basically only had chat messages with other students. But now that I think about it... could it be that I was being targeted by some thousand-year-old student?

"...From what you said, it is indeed possible. Where should I seek help?"

"The Ministry of Truth, of course."

Just as Lin En asked, Xiang, who had already repaired and repaired the Phantom Thief Suit, came over holding it.

"That's where the top hackers from Millennium Science Academy gather, also known as Belitas. If you want to ask the members there for help, it's relatively easy. But if you want to get help from the head coach, it's a bit difficult."

"I see... I'll pay more attention. Thank you."

As Lin En said this, he took the Phantom Thief costume from Xiang's hand and subconsciously reached out and touched her head.

"Ah wu..."

Although Xiang looked startled by Lin's action, he didn't say much. And from her slightly wagging tail, Lin could tell that the girl seemed very happy.
