Teacher Xia Lai is also teaching in Kivotos today

Unlike Tao Jing who was cheering, Midori who seemed to have noticed something couldn't help but sigh.

"But I always feel something is not right..."

In response to Momoi's question, Alice blinked and spoke to her seriously.

"Brave man, if you are asking for my consent, then I will grant your approval!"

"..."

After hearing Alice's answer, Lynn couldn't help but put his hand on his forehead.

Sure enough, his premonition was completely correct. Alice's language module was already running wildly in a strange direction!

"Um...Alice, do you think...our game is fun?"

Facing Tao Jing's cautious question, Alice was silent for a moment before she answered.

"…It means it cannot be done. We are searching for similar expressions and downloading…"

"It's... It's over! Are you looking for something bad to say?! No way?!"

Looking at Tao Jing who showed a bit of panic, Lin En finally couldn't help but complain aloud.

"So you guys know what the game you guys are making is like?!"

When Lin En complained like this, Alice, who had finally organized her words, spoke.

"It's interesting... It's like traveling to another world, like a dream..."

As Alice was talking, she seemed to remember something, and a line of tears slowly flowed from her eyes.

“Wow wow wow? Was it so fun that it moved me to tears?”

"I think it's more like the joy of surviving a disaster..."

Lin En sighed helplessly at Tao Jing's words that clearly misread the atmosphere.

"So... what about the teacher? What do you think? Our game!"

After hearing Tao Jing's expectant words, and looking at Midori who was looking at him with a somewhat hopeful look, Lin En couldn't help but scratch his head.

“How should I put it… Although the entire process and plot are very nonsensical, the experience I had watching it was quite interesting. Although it can’t be called a particularly good game, it can’t be called a rubbish game either.”

But in the face of Lin En's comments, which could be described as repetitive to some extent, Tao Jing looked as if she was deeply moved by these words.

"Finally...finally! Finally someone understands the fun of our game!"

And it wasn't just Momoi, even Midori, who seemed to be a calm person, muttered to herself.

"We have no regrets in death! Even if Sensei and Alice are the only two people who understand us, it's enough! We have no regrets in death!"

Seeing the reactions of Tao Jing and Midori, Lin En couldn't help but swallow.

“…Is it really that serious?”

Just as Lin En was looking helpless at the situation before him, a sound of metal scraping reached his ears.

When I looked in the direction of the sound, I found that it was Youzi who quietly opened the cabinet door and leaned out from inside.

After some visible hesitation, Yuzu finally left the closet where she was hiding and came to Alice's side.

"Um...thank you for the compliment...praising our game as fun and interesting, etc. I've always wanted to hear someone say that...but...Alice, you and the teacher are the only ones who said that...and you actually cried...really..."

Looking at Yuzu who seemed to have put all her courage into saying these words, Lin En chuckled and said nothing more.

"And...thank you teacher for your help..."

As she said this, Yuzu looked at Lynn, as if she wanted to continue saying something, but for some reason her face turned red and she lowered her head.

After seeing Yuzu's somewhat strange reaction, Lin En was stunned at first, but then he coughed lightly as if he had figured something out, and then stroked his hair awkwardly.

"Eh... Could it be that something happened that I don't know about?"

Seeing the scene in front of her, Taoi, who sensed something but didn't realize anything, blinked and looked a little confused.

"Um..."

Unlike Tao Jing who was a little slow in this regard, Midori was keenly aware of the awkward atmosphere between the two. But even so, she couldn't figure out when the two had such a strange intersection.

"?"

Looking at the people with different expressions, Alice, who had no idea what was going on and was truly at a loss, tilted her head slightly in confusion.

"A-Anyway, let me introduce myself again... I'm the head of the game development department, Yuzu. Thank you for joining our club, Alice-chan. From now on... please give me your guidance."

"Could you please give me some advice...?"

Alice hesitated for a moment before looking at what Yuzu said to her.

"I understand! [Alice and Yuzu have become partners! Bang Bang Ka Bang!] Is that right?"

Seeing Alice seeming a little proud when she said this, Lin couldn't help but curl his lips -

He suddenly regretted letting Alice learn the language by playing games.

However, in response to Alice's answer, Yuzu not only did not show any strangeness, but also smiled with some relief.

"Ah... well, that's probably the feeling... right? But it seems like you really like RPGs. If that's the case, I'll recommend some other games for you to play."

However, after hearing what Yuzu said, Momoi reacted quickly and hurried over.

"Wait! If you want to recommend something to Alice, I should go first! The more high-quality games you play, the more natural your way of speaking will become, and the higher the success rate of our plan will be!"

Seeing this, Midori moved closer not to be outdone.

"I also think so!"

Seeing that the three of them had returned to their previous mood and had already started discussing what game to recommend to Alice, Lin En took out his phone without interrupting their thoughts and sent a Momotalk message before leaving the game department without making a sound.

By the time the three of them noticed that Lin En had left, it was several hours later.

--------

"Oh... I screwed up..."

At this moment, Yuuka, who was lying on her desk, couldn't help but sigh.

Although she knew very well that she was just a member of the student union at that time, doing her job seriously, and the teacher also sent her such a text message. But even so...

"I always felt that the teacher might dislike me... the way I looked at that time..."

After sighing for who knows how many times today, Youxiang took out her cell phone and prepared to check the time so as to plan her dinner time.

However, just as she took out her cell phone, the message alert sounded.

“…Isn’t this another new job?”

Perhaps thinking of something bad, Yuuka muttered to herself as she clicked on the message feebly.

But then, after seeing the message on the screen, her eyes involuntarily widened slightly.

Chapter 16 What on earth am I unhappy about?

"I didn't expect the teacher would actually invite me to dinner. It's really rare."

After receiving the message from Lin En, "Are you interested in having dinner together?" and a brief conversation, Yuka quickly finished her work and came to the restaurant.

"Because I thought it was a rare trip to Millennium Science Academy, and...Yuuka was planning to have lunch with me at noon, wasn't she?"

“That’s… that’s true.”

Looking at Lin En who was sitting opposite her and smiling at her, Yuka raised her voice slightly as if she remembered something.

"But! But! Feeding...feeding or something like that! It's absolutely impossible!"

"…It was just a joke."

After waving his hand somewhat awkwardly, Lin En picked up the glass of water in front of him.

"However, judging from your reaction when you answered the phone, I guess you just had a casual lunch, so I decided to invite you out for dinner tonight, which will also allow you to relax a little."

"Indeed... I had to deal with some emergencies at noon, so I just ate some bread. I was a little hungry at the same time."

Although she said this, Yuka couldn't help but feel suspicious in her heart.

Logically speaking, Lin En should be helping the game development department solve the crisis of being disbanded. Not to mention the number of members, developing games is a very complicated matter. But Lin En did not choose to stay in the game department to cheer them up or help them. Instead, he contacted her at this critical moment and asked her out for dinner...

Thinking of this, an idea suddenly popped up in Yuka's mind -

Could it be that Lin En was trying to win her over because of the students in the game development department?

As the saying goes, once a person has made up his mind, he will easily believe it. Yuuka pondered for a moment and felt that there was nothing wrong with her idea.

Then, Yuuka, who was sure of her idea, couldn't help but show her seriousness.

Faced with the "challenge" proposed by Lin En, she wanted to prove to the other party that she would not be so easily fooled!

"Um...Yuuka?"

When Yuka was thinking this, a familiar voice brought her back to reality.

When I looked up, I saw Lin En holding the menu and looking at me with a little confusion.

"Ahem, if that's the case, then hurry up and order."

Yuuka, noticing something was wrong with her, coughed twice and also picked up the menu in front of her.

"Speaking of which, teacher, is there anything you are forbidden to eat or don't like to eat?"

"Hmm? I don't have any taboos in this regard."

Thinking back to the various foods he had tasted in Gehenna, Lin En scratched his cheek and smiled bitterly.

Although he usually didn't eat anything too weird because of Fengxiang, even if we don't mention Julie who occasionally made dishes that were hard to describe with the word "weird", and the bland meals he ate when he was out on business, he was also kidnapped by the students of the Food Research Department to some strange places to eat dishes that he might not have even heard of.

But thinking back on it now, it was actually an interesting experience - at least Haruna took his safety into consideration before blowing up the store with a bomb, and let Junko and the others drag him out first.

“Hmm…Is that so…”

As Yuuka was talking to herself while browsing the menu, Lin En, who had temporarily put these past experiences behind him, looked at the girl in front of him who did not notice his distraction and whose lips were slightly raised for some reason, and spoke with a chuckle.

"I feel like...Yuuka, you seemed really happy when you were looking at the menu."

"Eh?"

Faced with Lin En's somewhat abrupt words, Youxiang was stunned at first, but then she stretched out her index finger and spoke to him seriously.

"Of course! Because for me, it's very fun to compare the differences between each store like this! Just like the restaurant where my teacher asked me to have dinner, although this place is closer to the school building area, there is a theme restaurant with similar dishes about 600 meters away, and the spaghetti bolognese there is about three dollars cheaper than here!

"So...is that really what happened?"

Hearing Yuka's answer, which was undoubtedly full of seriousness, Lin En couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. The reason why he chose this store was just because the pizza he bought for the students in the engineering department at noon was purchased from this store.

but……

Looking at Yuuka who was browsing the menu with a smile across from him, Lynn couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Should I say that he is worthy of being the accountant of the student union? He even knows this kind of data by heart.

But in some other similar aspects, he and Yuka are actually the same.

"Since we're talking about spaghetti bolognese, let's eat spaghetti bolognese today~"

While Lin En was complaining in his heart, Yuka had already put down the menu in her hand and looked at him.

"Would you like something, teacher?"

Hearing this, Lin En, who had only glanced at the menu hastily before, quickly picked up the menu. But for some reason, looking at these familiar dish names, Lin En did not have much appetite.

"Well... for now, just drinks will be enough."

After hearing what Lin En said, Yuxiang naturally showed a look of doubt.

"…Just drinks?"

Seeing Lin En raising the cup in his hand with a wry smile, Youxiang frowned slightly in dissatisfaction.

If it was just a guess before, then Lynn's answer confirmed her guess to some extent.

In other words, the reason why Lin En invited her to dinner was not because he really wanted to have dinner with her, but because he wanted to use this meal to win her over so that he could intercede for the game development department.
