"Commander, don't touch this!" Kluge's tone became very aggressive.

"Relax, I don't smoke, trust me," Chen Yi reassured the other person.

While soothing the frizzy Kroos's fur, Chen Yi looked at Watanabe Tetsuya with a smile.

"...You little brat, are you trying to trick me into paying the police fine?" Watanabe Tetsuya retorted.

"How did you figure that out?" Chen Yi put the cigarette back into the pack and casually slipped it into the other man's shirt pocket.

"Your teeth are white, and the awkward way you hold a cigarette shows that you don't smoke at all. Considering your cunning personality, I'm afraid you only have ideas to mess with me... Tell me, do you hate me that much?" Watanabe Tetsuya was a little helpless. He had only followed the other person a few times.

"To be honest, I have a lot of contempt for criminals like you who don't even realize they're committing crimes. Stalking a minor? If I paid for a lawyer, you'd probably be in jail for the rest of your life," Chen Yi spat.

"Besides..." A cold smile appeared on his lips.

"The consulate will probably look into this, right? You're probably not going to be able to sit in jail comfortably."

"...Could you please plead for me? I don't think I'm that scumbag. Look, I'm not carrying any lethal weapons..."

“You’re carrying lethal weapons. If this gets out, you’ll get shot. Don’t you understand the consequences, you gangster?” Standing behind him, Chen Yi kicked him casually.

“Commander, what if he’s carrying lethal weapons…” Kluge’s tone seemed hesitant.

“If he had brought any lethal weapons, I would have found a way to keep him here last time,” Chen Yi said bluntly.

"Who...are you talking to?" Watanabe Tetsuya's tone became somewhat flustered, his eyes darting left and right.

"What's it to you? Behave yourself!" Chen Yi kicked him again, and Watanabe Tetsuya staggered and almost fell to the ground.

The other person knelt on the ground meekly and stopped trying to speak.

......

After handing the private investigator over to the police, Chen Yi headed home, sending the packaged evidence to Hiratsuka Shizuka at the same time.

It's not that Hiratsuka-sensei is supposed to deal with Yukinoshita-sama... it's just to put some pressure on her at a crucial moment. This matter can't just be left like this.

Upon arriving home, Chen Yi glanced at the open door next door, ignored it, unlocked it with his fingerprint, and carried the package from the doorway back inside.

"Krooka, let's maintain the guns first." Chen Yi put down the package, locked the door, stretched, and took the assault rifle out of the guitar case.

"Don't worry about that woman?" Kroc received the instruction and sat down next to Chen Yi.

"Let's do the maintenance first." Chen Yi carefully wiped the gun body with a wet wipe, and then began to disassemble the parts.

"(shock)"

Kroc turned on her phone and saw that it was a message from Hiratsuka Shizuka.

A question mark.

'You mean you want me to help you look into this girl named Nakano Hina?'

"I know who the other person is. I just need the teacher to do me a small favor." After quickly finishing the gun maintenance, Chen Yi recited a cheesy pickup line and made a wish before replying.

'Alright, just don't do anything illegal.' Just by reading the text from Hiratsuka Shizuka, you could feel her helplessness; she seemed to want to know why this student always encountered so many problems every day.

"Ding-dong—" The doorbell rang, and Chen Yi could figure out who was coming to 'visit' him even with his toes.

"Hiratsuka-sensei, I'm calling you. Don't make a sound." Chen Yi quickly dialed the number and walked towards the entrance.

"Who are you?" he asked loudly as he walked to the door.

"I'm Nakano Hina, and I've come to visit you today. I baked some cookies, would you like to try them?" the other person replied.

Chen Yi looked through the peephole and saw Yukino Yukinoshita.

"This time? You're not kidding, are you?" Chen Yi questioned.

"Um... I'm sorry to bother you." The other person looked like they suddenly realized something, and took out their phone from their bag and started typing rapidly.

A notification popped up on Chen Yi's phone, a greeting from the other party.

"Okay, I believe you." Chen Yi opened the door, a relaxed expression appearing on his face.

"Actually, Mr. Chen, there's no need to be so nervous... After all, the security system in this apartment building is quite good." The other person's composed expression seemed somewhat unnatural, as if he felt embarrassed because he was initially suspected and turned away.

"Well, it's mainly because of his personal quirks," Chen Yi said dismissively, closing the door behind him.

"Um... is it necessary to close the door?"

The other party asked timidly.

"Are you afraid I'll eat you up?"

"Ah... I'm sorry, Mr. Chen is certainly not that kind of person..." The other party looked embarrassed.

"What would you like to drink?" Chen Yi asked, heading towards the kitchen.

"Chen-kun can make all kinds of coffee?" Yukinoshita Haruno asked with interest.

"Of course not, and I don't have that many materials at home," Chen Yi replied.

"Then I'll have a cup of Darjeeling tea."

"I already told you I don't have that many ingredients at home... Is regular black tea okay?"

Compared to the last time, Chen Yi's house remained largely unchanged, except for the addition of a few more boxes.

From this perspective, Chen Yi's life can be described as regular.

"Is Chen Jun under a lot of academic pressure usually?"

Holding a cup of red tea, Yukinoshita tried her best to find a topic to talk about.

"Fortunately, the workload in Japan isn't too heavy," Chen Yi replied, as he searched for a weakness that could instantly break through the opponent's defenses.

"So, what do you think of daily life in Japan, Mr. Chen?" Yukinoshita Haruno keenly sensed that something seemed to cloud the other person's emotions, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. She decided to continue to probe indirectly.

"Fortunately, I've made quite a few new friends." Chen Yi casually recalled his life over this period, including the adorable rain person, the flying bird person, the incredibly realistic fake person, and the unseen evil spirit.

'Why are there no people on the Commander's list of friends?' Kluge couldn't help but complain.

"Even a fake human is humanoid, I think it's fine," Chen Yi corrected.

"Really? Chen-kun seems to be adapting quite well to life here." Yukinoshita Haruno's voice sounded a bit cloying, almost like a lisp.

"Speaking of which, Ms. Nakano, you should visit less often in the future. I recently got a girlfriend, and I might visit more frequently. I'm afraid my girlfriend might misunderstand." Chen Yi had thought of a way to break the deadlock and immediately began his performance.

"Eh?" Yukinoshita Haruno's perfect smile froze on her face, her pupils contracted slightly, and she stammered after a long while.

Is he testing me?

"Yeah, she said she's from some wealthy family, and if we get engaged, we'll have to meet her parents... To be honest, I think I'm pretty average, and my future mother-in-law probably wouldn't even approve of me. But she said we could elope..."

"What? You actually dare to..." When it came to her younger sister Yukino, Yukinoshita Haruno finally couldn't hold back anymore and tore off her disguise.

"How is it, Miss Yukinoshita?" Chen Yi took out his phone from inside his pocket, which clearly displayed the words 'Hiratsuka-sensei'.

"Yonai?" Chen Yi pressed the speakerphone button, and Hiratsuka Shizuka's voice exploded like a thunderclap in the ears of the young lady Yukinoshita.

Adolescent Syndrome: Chapter Sixty-Seven - Making a Stroke of the Pen

"What's going on?" Hiratsuka Shizuka's voice rang out, and Yukino Yukinoshita realized that her plan had been seen through long ago.

"Sorry, Xiaojing... it's just that my sister made a male friend, and I'd like to get to know him." She awkwardly laughed to make amends.

"Eh..." Hiratsuka Shizuka sighed on the other end of the phone. She already knew what kind of shocking and ruthless things this restless guy, Haruno, had done.

"Yonai, you've gone a bit too far in this matter." Although he had a good relationship with both sides, Yonai was indeed in the wrong in this matter. If left to develop unchecked, it might lead to a serious mistake.

“This kid has been through a lot before and is very sensitive to danger. You may think this is just a joke or a harmless offense, but for Chen Jun, this is not something that can be dismissed with a mere joke.”

She didn't directly reprimand the other party, partly because Yang Nai was no longer her student, and partly because she wanted to at least save face for the other party.

"..." Yukino Yukinoshita put away her nonchalant expression and became serious.

"Alright, that's all I have to say. You apologize to him properly. As for whether he forgives you or not, that's none of my business." After giving a brief summary, Hiratsuka Shizuka hung up the phone.

Chen Yi turned off his phone screen and put it in his shirt pocket.

Yang stood up and bowed deeply to Chen Yi.

"I'm so sorry for causing you trouble." There's no point in making excuses now.

“I admit that I was wary and hostile towards men of unknown origin around my sister, which was the basis for my mistake… Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, please allow me to make amends to the best of my ability,” the other party said.

"..."

To be honest, Chen Yi was relieved to learn that this guy wasn't from a terrorist organization. After all, compared to the danger to his life, Yang Nai's so-called 'bad joke' was actually physiologically acceptable.

Perhaps this is what is known as the "window effect".

As for the compensation that Yang Nai mentioned...

"Can you manage to do both of these things?" Chen Yi asked after a moment's thought.

Since it's compensation, why not take it?

"I'd like to hear the details." Yang Nai lost his temper and adopted a serious business attitude.

"First, I need your help to investigate the Crab Legs organization in Chiba City. I indirectly or directly killed two of their members before, which may lead them to target me and my friends."

“No problem,” Yang Nai readily agreed.

There was no other way; his own sister was also connected to him, and protecting him was equivalent to protecting his sister's safety.

"However, I hope you can protect Yukino while you're at it; that's my request." She thought for a moment and then added.

"Secondly, I would like you to recommend a psychologist to me. I will cover the consultation fees myself."

This is also a way of telling the other person that he has mental problems and that they should not bother him, or they will have to bear the consequences.

"I see... I understand. I'll resolve it as soon as possible." Yukinoshita Haruno pondered for a moment, then nodded.

"I'm sorry to have bothered you today. I'll be going now. You should get some rest." After saying this, Yukino Yukino hurriedly packed her things and fled Chen Yi's residence as if she were running away.

"Commander, is this the end of it?" Kroos leaned back on the sofa, resting her head on her hands.

"Not yet. Today her plan was exposed and she was in the wrong, so she's already interested. She'll come looking for trouble with me again later," Chen Yi sighed, explaining helplessly.

Thank goodness, it's best to stay away from this kind of devil.

I'm a little hungry, let's eat first.

......

"What did you do last night? You look like you're on your last breath." This was what Hachiman Hikigaya couldn't help but complain about when he saw Chen Yi with dark circles under his eyes that morning.

"Staying up all night playing games... Ha~" Chen Yi couldn't help but yawn, took off his guitar bag, and smashed it on the ground with a thud.

"..." Hachiman looked at the guitar case and fell silent.

In this situation, it's best not to investigate further.

"If you need to catch up on sleep, I can cover for you." He then cleverly changed the subject.

"Are you sure? Isn't the first period today Hiratsuka-sensei's class?" Chen Yi lifted his face from the desk.

"..." Oh right, I almost forgot, well, Old Chen, good luck to you.

“Commander…” Kluge stood to the side, looking somewhat helpless.

"Don't worry, I'll wake you up if anyone comes." She then patted Chen Yi's head affectionately.

—Even though I didn't touch anything.

......

How strange. Could it be that my body has reverted to the state of high school, causing my daily routine to unconsciously return to that of high school?

Sitting in the Department of Service, Chen Yi thought with a touch of sadness.

"Chen Jun, the editor sent me a message saying that sales have exceeded 30,000 copies! The novel is a huge hit!" This was Kasumigaoka excitedly sharing the news.

"Yeah, congratulations, senior." Chen Yi replied perfunctorily.

"Did Chen stay up late last night?" This was Yotsuya Miko, who was tutoring and noticed that Chen Yi didn't seem to be in a good state.

"Chen, getting enough sleep is essential for your health." This was President Yukinoshita's slightly awkward concern.

"Xiaoxue is right, Xiao Chen shouldn't play games when he gets home tonight," Yuihama chimed in.
