I, Iron Pilot, work as a teacher in Azure Files

The figures of the two set off along the street and walked through several blocks, but they always kept a distance of half a body between the front and back, neither too close nor too far away.

"Teacher, thank you."

As he was running, Bai Zi, who was leading the way, said this abruptly, and there was no trace of heavy panting during strenuous exercise in his words.

"what happened?"

Luo Lin replied with the same steady voice, as if the two were not running at the moment, but sitting on the sofa chatting casually.

"It's about Celery."

Bai Zi paused, as if he was organizing his words.

"When the countermeasures committee conducted risk factor analysis, it was found that the main strongholds of the Helmet Regiment were all in the desert outside Abydos."

"If the teacher hadn't rescued Qin Xiang in time yesterday, she might have been kidnapped by the helmet group and taken to that place where there is no signal at all."

"According to Celery's personality, she should feel very guilty in that situation."

"Reproach yourself?"

Luo Lin couldn't help repeating, wondering: "Why?"

"Because it makes us feel worried."

Bai Zi continued to run forward without looking back, just talking on his own.

"Because I disappeared without being able to contact anyone, and left here like everyone else in Abydos High School before, it will make Celery feel that we may think that she has chosen to betray everyone."

"Being misunderstood by friends, and dying like this without saying goodbye, it will shock her to the point of tears."

After listening to Bai Zi's description, a vivid image of a black cat girl immediately appeared in Luo Lin's mind, and he couldn't help laughing for a while.

But after making the sound, he suddenly remembered that he was still exercising, adjusted his breathing quickly, slowed down the frequency again, and the whole rhythm gradually became even.

"It's indeed like Celery's reaction."

"Well, the teacher was a great help."

Bai Zi expressed his approval of Luo Lin without hesitation, and even raised his tone a little, which was rare, and it was rare to hear a trace of obvious gratitude from it.

"But Qin Xiang has a personality that is difficult to say thank you properly. I am worried that the teacher may misunderstand, so I want to make it clear to you."

"So that's why you want to run with me in the morning today."

Luo Lin couldn't help but burst out laughing, "But you guessed wrong, Bai Zi, Qin Xiang already told me thank you."

"Have you said that? Is...is that so?"

Baizi lowered his head slightly, his expression was thoughtful, but his voice returned to its usual indifferent and clear voice.

"...The teacher is really a miraculous adult."

"It has nothing to do with me."

The corners of Luo Lin's mouth curled up, "But from the teacher's point of view, seeing that you are all thinking of your friends is really something I am gratified about."

"Ah."

At an angle that no one could see, a faint smile appeared on Baizi's lips, she took a breath, and looked up at the sun that penetrated the sea of ​​clouds and peeked out half of its head from the horizon.

The soft morning light just fell on the girl's body, coating her whole body with a layer of warm gold, combined with the sky-like blue and clear halo above her head, it inexplicably revealed a sacred meaning.

"Teacher, I'm warming up."

"Okay, then let's speed up."

Chapter 36 Illegal Weapons

Luo Lin and Bai Zi, who went out for a morning jog, set off from Block 45, followed the route chosen by Bai Zi, and happened to pass by a 15-hour convenience store after running 24 kilometers.

After a brief stop there to refill the water, the two raised their legs and ran on the road again to finish the remaining 15 kilometers, and then returned to the 45th block after a circle.

"call……"

Luo Lin let out a long breath, looked at his own home that could be vaguely seen in front of him, slowed down his pace, and raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

"The route is well planned, Bai Zi."

After running for [-] kilometers in a row, even Baizi would inevitably have a lot of shortness of breath.

Her chest was heaving up and down, but she was still responding to Luo Lin's words.

"Well, this is my usual morning run route, which has been summarized and optimized many times."

"It's a good habit."

Luo Lin sighed with emotion, and was about to continue to say something, but was interrupted by a sudden shout from not far ahead.

"Teacher! Baizi!"

"Ok?"

Luo Lin was taken aback, and subconsciously turned his head together with Bai Zi to look at the source of the sound.

The window of a house next to the street was opened, and Nomiya's head and half of his upper body protruded out of the house, waving vigorously at Luo Lin and Bai Zi.

"Teacher! Bai Zi! This way!"

"... Teacher, it's Nomiya."

Bai Zi recovered from the shout, and turned to look at Luo Lin, "That's Qin Xiang's house."

"Well, I'm here, let's go see how Qin Xiang is recovering."

Luo Lin smiled and nodded, his footsteps increased slightly, and he ran towards the house, arriving at the door almost at the same time as Bai Zi.

"Teacher, and Baizi, good morning~"

Nomiya opened the door from inside the house, greeted the two outside the door with a smile, and then let out a small exclamation.

"Wow, I sweated a lot. Did the teacher go to the morning exercise with Bai Zi? Do you want to wipe off the sweat first?"

"Well, I just ran into it when I was going out, thank you."

Luo Lin smiled back, took the tissue from Nomiya and gave half of it to Bai Zi. While wiping the sweat on his hands, he also walked slowly back and forth on his feet, relaxing the muscles in his legs.

"How's Celery?"

"Already awake."

When mentioning this matter, Nomiya seemed to suddenly remember something, and couldn't help covering his mouth and laughing, "But when she fell asleep, Xiao Qinxiang—"

"Senior Nomiya!!"

Qin Xiang's shy and angry screams sounded from deeper inside the house, all the way through the living room and the hallway, so that Luo Lin and Bai Zi who were standing outside the door could hear them clearly.

Following a burst of hurried footsteps, the girl's voice turned from embarrassment into anger from far to near, almost trotting out of the bedroom all the way.

"Senior Nomiya! I told you not to mention it again—eh?"

But as soon as she reached the porch and stood still, before she even finished her words, her eyes subconsciously fell on Bai Zi and Luo Lin, and she was stunned.

"Senior Baizi... and teacher?! Why are you here?!"

"I'm passing by for a morning run, so I'll come to visit you."

Luo Lin raised his hands and moved his shoulders, and looked around Qin Xiang, "You are in good spirits, do you feel uncomfortable?"

Bai Zi next to him also nodded his head, and added in a timely manner: "If you still feel uncomfortable, you don't have to go to school today, it's okay."

"...Ah, I'm fine, I can still go to school."

Feeling the caring gazes of the two without any impurities, Qin Xiang tilted her head a little uncomfortably, turned her eyes away, stretched out her hand to scratch her cheek, and muttered in a low voice.

"And you can't rest like this all the time, it will make everyone worry, and you have to go to work..."

Bai Zi, who was a little far away, only saw Qin Xiang's lips moving, but couldn't hear what she said clearly, so he could only tilt his head slightly puzzled.

"Celery?"

"Ah, no, nothing..."

Qin Xiang immediately reacted, shaking her head again and again, and her hair tied into twin ponytails also swayed with her movements.

"That, that, I mean, you don't need to visit or anything! I'm healthy."

"Uh-huh!"

Nomiya standing next to him stroked his sizable chest, with a little fear on his face, and sighed as if he had lingering fear.

"Although he was attacked, he was not injured. This is a blessing among misfortunes... Thanks to the teacher's vigilance, he was able to protect Xiao Qinxiang. She really is a very powerful adult~"

"It can only be said that the timing of the helmet group's attack was too coincidental... What about Hoshino and Ayane? Didn't they come with you?"

After standing at the door and chatting for so long, Nomiya was the only one who appeared, while Hoshino and Ayane didn't even see him, Luo Lin couldn't help being a little curious.

According to the relationship between these girls from Abydos High School, it shouldn't be like this.

"Well...it's true that they came together at the beginning."

Nomiya gave a thoughtful "hmm", as if trying to organize his words.

"But after hearing Xiao Qinxiang say that the helmet regiment had anti-aircraft guns and tanks, and they were all destroyed by the teacher, Xiao Ayane immediately couldn't help but want to investigate her thoughts, and took Senior Hoshino to the place where Xiao Qinxiang was attacked yesterday .”

As the girl said in her mouth, she subconsciously played with her long hair hanging down her cheeks with her fingers, and her smile subconsciously carried a bit of maternal brilliance.

"According to Xiao Ayane, they wanted to analyze useful information from the scattered parts. In the end, we made an appointment to meet at the school."

"Is it a normal investigation...not bad."

Luo Lin stopped walking up and down, stroked his chin and pondered for a moment, and waved to the girls present.

"It's almost time, now everyone go clean up, and I will send you to school together later."

……

I have to admit that when Hoshino, who is a bit lazy but clean, is paired with Ayane, who is always meticulous and serious in doing things, the efficiency of action shown can be said to be quite high.

When Luo Lin and the others arrived at the school in an armored vehicle, Ayane and Hoshino were already sitting in the countermeasure committee meeting room waiting for them.

"Ah, teacher, and everyone."

Ayane was the first to notice the people who opened the door and stood up immediately; while Hoshino, who was lying on the table, moved his arms lazily, as if he had greeted him.

"Hey~ Hello everyone."

"Senior Hoshino, don't be so lazy since morning!"

Celery threw the things in her hand on the table, leaned over and grabbed Hoshino's arm and shook it vigorously, but it was a pity that Hoshino seemed to be used to this level of "attack", and showed no sign of being moved by it at all.

Her body swayed from side to side following Qin Xiang's movements, but her half-closed eyes refused to open.

"Wooha~ I'm relieved to see Xiao Qinxiang so energetic. The teacher has performed her duties very well. She is not a simple stalker."

"Well, I'll take it as you are praising me."

Luo Lin pinched the bridge of his nose helplessly, and turned his attention to Ayane, who had a smile on his face, watching Qin Xiang and Hoshino fight, and said:

"Ayane, did you find anything from the scene?"

"Ah, yes."

As soon as she heard that she was going to talk about something serious, Ayane immediately came back to her senses, stretched out her hand and pushed her glasses, her expression quickly became serious.

"When confirming the spare parts of the tank recovered from the wreckage of the battlefield, it was determined that it was an illegal model that was banned from being used in Kivatos."

"Although further investigation is needed to confirm... But it seems that the Helmets have weapons that they should not have been able to obtain."

The moment this conclusion was uttered by her, the entire conference room fell into a silence that could be heard by a needle drop.

Qin Xiang stopped, turned her head together with Bai Zi who sneaked to Luo Lin's side at some point, stared at Ayane and blinked.

"That is to say...the weapons used by the Helmets were smuggled?"

Nomiya clapped his palms together as if realizing something, and the crisp applause enlivened the stagnant atmosphere.

"If we analyze the distribution channels of this part, we will be able to find out the real culprit behind the scenes!"

"Yes."

Ayane nodded slightly as if approving, and the small hands folded in front of her unconsciously clenched into fists.

"Perhaps we can also figure out why the little hooligans have been coveting our school."
