Teacher Xia Lai is also teaching in Kivotos today

As Lin said this, he looked a little confused.

"I don't know why the kids from the game development department kept asking me all sorts of questions today... Although the questions they asked weren't inconvenient to answer, they were a little strange."

Hearing Lin En say this, Xiang opened his mouth slightly, wanting to say something like "I also have a lot of things I want to ask the teacher", but when the words came to his lips, no words came out.

For the next period of time, the office fell into a strange silence. Lin En continued with the remaining work that needed to be completed today, while Xiang looked around the room.

After looking around, Xiang sat down on the chair opposite the desk and stared at Lin En who was working.

"What's wrong, Hibiki?"

Facing Lin En's gaze, Xiang couldn't help but lower his head slightly.

"I want to help the teacher, not only with technology, but also with other aspects..."

At this point, Xiang seemed to have remembered something and showed a somewhat lost expression.

"But I may not be able to handle the daily work of Xialai monitor... Maybe I am better at technical work than clerical work..."

In fact, when Lin En first started working, he let Xiang, who was slightly curious, try paperwork. As a result, Xiang's eyes turned into mosquito-repellent eyes within less than ten minutes of starting work, not to mention processing these documents.

Looking at Xiang who had a frustrated look on his face, Lin En chuckled and stood up. Then, under the girl's puzzled gaze, he walked to the refrigerator, took out a fruit cake from it, and placed it in front of her.

"This is……"

Facing the girl's slightly different words, Lin En sat back in his seat and said with a wry smile.

"I'm sorry, but all the other desserts in my fridge have chocolate or caffeine in them. I don't think you'd like them, so I can only use this to comfort you."

"Comfort... me?"

After pushing the fruit cake in front of Xiang, Lynn smiled and nodded.

"When you encounter something sad, something you don't understand, or something happy, you should eat some dessert."

As if she could see what Xiang was thinking from her eyes, Lin En couldn't help but shrugged.

"I said this. But... I haven't said this in a long time."

As Lin En said this, he couldn't help but reveal a hint of nostalgia.

"The last time I said this was when I was at Holy Trinity."

"...Teacher, have you ever been to Holy Trinity?"

In the face of Xiang's curious and surprised gaze, Lin En nodded slightly.

"Yeah. But that was quite some time ago. And this sentence...I'm not sure if you'll believe it, but this is what I used to answer a bad student."

"Bad...student?"

Rubbing the confused Hibiki's cheek, Lynn couldn't help but chuckle.

"Yes. At that time, I bought some snacks from a dessert shop and prepared to bring them to my...friend. However, when I turned into an alley along the familiar road, I saw a bad student squatting in the corner."

At this point, Lynn seemed to have thought of something and scratched his cheek with a smile.

"However, this scene does give me a sense of familiarity..."

After talking to himself for a while, Lynn continued his narration.

"Although the bad student's clothes were a little dirty, the machine gun in her arms was very clean. After noticing me, she neither pestered me nor took the initiative to talk to me. Instead, she continued to look down at the ground, not knowing what she was thinking."

Hearing this, Xiang tilted his head and asked Lin En with a smile on his face.

"From what you said just now, the teacher at that time didn't just leave her alone, right?"

"I can't help it. Who made me so soft-hearted?"

After making a helpless expression and shrugging, Lynn continued.

"I hesitated for a moment and then handed her my snack from the bag. She looked very surprised, and I was a little surprised too. Because from her reaction, it seemed that she had never eaten this kind of thing before."

As if recalling the original scene, a smile appeared on Lynn's face involuntarily.

"That is to say, at that time, I said what I said to you before. [When you encounter sad things, things you don't understand, or happy things, you should eat some dessert.]"

"…Then what then?"

"And then? Then I left. After all, I don't think she would like to be preached to, and preaching probably wouldn't be of any use to her."

Lynn said this with her hand on her cheek.

"But it's a pity that I haven't seen that bad guy since then."

Looking at Xiang, who was staring at the fruit cake in front of her in a daze because of his narration, Lin En patted her head gently.

"Well, you don't have to think so much now. Just consider this fruit cake as your reward for helping me inspect those amusement equipment samples. After you finish eating, I will take you back to the engineering department."

Hearing this, Xiang, who had just picked up the fork, paused.

After hesitating for a moment, she finally dropped the fork in her hand towards the cake in front of her.

Seeing Xiang seeming a little unhappy, Lin En couldn't help but sigh helplessly in his heart.

His emotional intelligence was not low, and he also understood what Xiang was actually thinking, or expecting. However...

"Alas, why did Xia Lai's toiletries run out at this time..."

Lin En couldn't help but smile bitterly as he muttered to himself.

You know, it’s not just the students who have vanity. Lin En also has a little vanity.

but……

"After your engineering department has finished making the amusement equipment and sent it to me... Xiang, come to Xialai and help me inspect it."

Hearing Lin En's words, Xiang was stunned at first, but then he seemed to understand something, smiled with a blushing face and nodded slightly.

"……Um."

Chapter 53: The best game with absolute acclaim!

A few days passed in the blink of an eye. During this period, with the assistance of Alona, ​​Lin En continued to deal with the tasks sent by the Federal Student Union, which seemed to be endless like leeks. The game development department was also doing its best to make their games, and the engineering department was completing Lin En's commissions step by step.

Then, time quickly came to the day when the results of the Millennium Science Academy Club Competition were announced.

"Speaking of which, I have a question that I wanted to ask you before, but considering that it might disturb you, I didn't ask."

Lynn, who was sitting in front of the TV in the game development department holding Alice, suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Midori and Momoi.

"Why have you been asking me so many weird questions on momotalk these days?"

"Ah this..."

Looking at the two people whose expressions froze for a moment, although Lin En had a bad premonition, he still counted on his fingers and continued speaking.

"At first you were just asking me what color I liked or if I had any favorite food, then what style of clothes I liked to wear, but in the end you're asking me about the color of my underwear?"

"Well, well... I'm just curious... After all, the teacher gives people a very mysterious feeling..."

Faced with Tao Jing's stammering defense, although Lin En had some guesses in his mind, he still chose to sigh.

But he didn't say anything else because the award announcement on TV had already come to the top three.

After announcing the third place, Yaduli, the host on the screen, continued with a smile.

"Then the next one to be announced is the second place. The winner is the game "Legend·Legend·Chronicle 2" produced by the Game Development Department! Not only is the painting excellent and full of classical epic style, but this special aesthetic also attracts the students of Millennium Science Academy! Especially the excellent plot character... uh, the portrayal of Lin En! It has been widely praised by a large number of students!"

"..."

After hearing Yaduli's introduction, Lin En, who was about to reach out for the drink, couldn't help but freeze in place.

However, unlike Lin En who was standing there in a daze, Tao Jing cheered the moment she saw the news.

"Great!"

And Yuzu, with slightly red eyes, reached out and wiped the corners of her eyes.

"Finally...our efforts have paid off..."

“We succeeded! We made the best game even without G.Bible!”

After cheering like that, Midori scratched his cheek and muttered to himself with some regret.

"But... I still feel a little disappointed that I didn't get first place..."

Unlike Midori who seemed a little unsatisfied, Alice in Lin En's arms smiled sincerely and said.

“Alice can see it! The download rate and praise rate of our game are constantly rising!”

At this moment, Lin En felt the corner of his clothes being pulled. He turned around and saw that it was Youzi who was sitting behind him.

"Um... I feel bad for including the teacher, but I'm really grateful..."

"This, this can't be helped! Teacher, can you just show some appreciation?"

Hearing the embarrassed words from Tao Jing who was sitting behind him, Lin En could not help but put his hand on his forehead, lamenting inwardly that the ominous premonition he least wanted to admit had actually come true.

"Forget it, you guys have finished your games. There's no point for me to care about these. But..."

As Lin said this, he glanced at Momoi as if he remembered something.

“I just want to know, what role do I play in this?”

However, facing Lin En's normal question, Tao Jing opened her mouth but was unable to answer for a moment.

Seeing that something seemed wrong, Midori quickly took over the conversation and answered.

"Ms. Lin En is still a teacher in the game, but she is... um... a little different from a real teacher."

Hearing this, although Lin En had already sensed something subconsciously, his reason told him not to delve into it further.

"……alright, I got it."

After Lynn turned back to the TV screen and explained to Alice in his arms the meaning of the advertisement that was playing at the moment, Taoi suddenly looked frightened.

Seeing this, Lu quietly moved to her sister's side and said softly with some dissatisfaction.

"Sister, can't you react faster? You almost got exposed just now."

"But...but I don't know how to tell Teacher Lin En! I can't possibly tell the teacher that he is not only one of the characters with a love line, but also the only character with a swimsuit CG and a wedding CG, right?"

In response to Momoi's rebuttal, Midori sighed helplessly. But then, she suddenly remembered something and frowned slightly, muttering to herself.

"Come to think of it... When I was drawing these CGs, Yuzu was always there to correct the teacher's naked body shape... Although the teacher is wearing clothes now, he does look pretty much like what Yuzu described... But how did Yuzu know all this?"

"Oh! Don't think so much now!"

Looking at Midori with a conflicted look on her face, Momoi, who didn't notice at all that Yuzu nearby involuntarily shrank her neck, casually patted Midori's shoulder, who also didn't notice this.

"It's confirmed! The download volume of Legend of Mir 2, which was updated three hours ago, has exceeded after the results were released just now!"

“Wow?! There are so many of them all of a sudden?!”

As Momoi exclaimed in amazement, Alice continued her narration while checking the status of the game.

"There are about 20,000 comments now, and more than three-quarters of them expressed their love for the teacher's game image production. Among the remaining quarter, judging from the language and emotions, most of them expressed their expectations and affirmation of the game itself! Only less than 100 comments have certain denials, doubts, or reservations about the game!"

"Wow... This is the first time I've seen so many encouraging comments..."

Yuzu subconsciously shrank back slightly at Alice's description, but an obvious look of joy appeared on her face.

At this moment, a voice that was unexpected by everyone in the game development department reached their ears.

"Yeah, isn't it great? After all, even I was surprised."

"Wuwuwuwa?! Yuuka the Great Devil! When did you you arrive?"

After gently patting Yuuka's shoulder, who looked helpless because of Momoi's words, Lin En said to them with a smile.

"You don't have to think too much. Yuka just came to congratulate you."

Chapter 54: Inexplicably Eye-Catching

"Congratulations to us?"

Hearing Lin En say this, Tao Jing couldn't help but look a little bit unbelievable.

"Yes. No wonder the teacher is willing to lend you a helping hand, and your ability really surprises me."
