Speaking of this, Ayane recalled what happened this morning and her eyes drifted towards the teacher.
Hmm~ The teacher shouldn't have misunderstood what I did today, right? After all, I was dealing with those nasty guys, so I hugged the teacher tightly... and, I didn't have any bad intentions!
"Yeah, so that's a violation of school rules. But they don't look like bad kids to me."
"No! They seem to have done a lot of evil things! Anyway, they are also on the wanted list of Gehenna School... Anyway! We must be extra careful when these evildoers target our school!"
"Huha~ Then next time we should just arrest them and interrogate them..."
Hoshino, who had swapped places with Shirako, sat on the teacher's lap and spoke lazily while lying on Shirako's thighs.
"Hmm~ Hoshino, this shouldn't happen..."
Zhang Xinyuan, whose face was being curiously played with by Bai Zi, was about to speak when he was interrupted by Ayane.
"Please do this!"
Thinking back to what happened today, Ayane said seriously, feeling a sense of crisis for some reason.
"Ah?"
When did my Ayane-chan become so irritable? !
"Uh... Ayane-chan, did something unhappy happen to you? I feel like you have a grudge..."
"No."
"No, no, no, it's just like your usual self..."
"Really? Serika-chan! Oh, there's one more thing! I found the mastermind behind the attack on Serika-chan!"
In order to avoid being harassed, Ayane immediately changed the subject and told everyone directly about the kidnapping of Serika-chan.
"Huh?! So fast?!"
"Well! I went to look for the source of those weapon fragments, and there is no such signal in the normal market... In other words, the one who can produce this type of weapon is probably in the black market."
"Black market? Fufu~ It is indeed possible."
Hoshino stood up, stretched his waist lazily and said with a smile.
"Hmm, the black market~ sounds like a dangerous place..."
"Well, after all, there are many small groups formed for various reasons such as dropping out of school, and many of them are illegal groups that are not recognized by the Federation~"
"Hmm~ Like a convenience store?"
After Baizi had played enough with the teacher's face, he stood up silently and said to Ayane with a calm look.
"Well... I checked the recent news about them and heard that they had a few incidents there..."
"Hmm~ It seems that all the criticisms are directed at the black market~"
Zhang Xinyuan, who was finally able to get out of the meat pad service, stood up and came to the center of the group, then took Ayane's computer and operated it.
"Eh? Teacher, what are you doing..."
"Yeah, it's done. Looks like we should definitely go to the black market."
Zhang Xinyuan showed everyone the contents of the screen. There was only a picture in it, but from the familiar vehicle in the picture, everyone recognized at a glance that it was the vehicle that they came to collect their interest from today.
"Hmm! Why is that transport truck here?! And why not go to a regular bank?!"
Qinxiang ran forward to check with a shocked look on her face, but no matter how she looked at it, it was the armored car that they were most familiar with.
"Teacher? Where did you get this picture?"
Ayane on the side had a puzzled expression. After all, the teacher had been standing next to them, watching silently, without doing anything?
"Well~ this is just a little trick of the adults. I have investigated them before. Although the information above is very perfect, I still found a loophole for my teacher."
Pulling out his cell phone, he saw a fluctuating red dot lighting up, and looking at the area inside, he saw that it was somewhere on the black market.
"Huh~ So this is what adults do~ I think it's really scary~"
"I didn't take it out to be told that, Hoshino!"
"Huha~ Uncle is going to be beaten to death by the teacher~"
Looking at the teacher kneading Hoshino-senpai's face, Ayane clenched her hands.
"It turns out that the teacher did so much research for us..."
"Yoshi! The source of the bullets, the mysterious money truck, and those gangs now all point to the black market. So, let's go to the black market together to look for clues!"
After Zhang Xinyuan let Hoshino go, Hoshino also raised his little hands and talked about his next plan with excitement and curiosity.
Chapter 27: Entering the Black Market
"Hey - so this is the black market. It looks no different from a normal market."
Seeing the students coming and going and the noisy shouting, the black cat also showed a curious expression.
"Yeah, but I thought it was a small market before, but I didn't expect it to be so big. It's really amazing that it can develop to this scale in an area that the Federal Student Union can't reach."
Bai Zi also stared at the surrounding shops calmly, but the fluctuations in her pupils hinted at her inner excitement and curiosity.
"Ha~ After all, we haven't left Abydos much. There are actually a lot of fun things outside the campus... Oh, the teacher is coming."
"Huh~ I didn't expect the black market to be a black market. Parking a car is so expensive?! Luckily I managed to get a small reduction after much persuasion... If I hadn't brought my students here today, I would have had a good chat with it!"
Zhang Xinyuan, who finally found a parking space, kept muttering to himself, and after seeing the people from Abydos, he also showed a happy expression.
"Eh? Why are you still here? It's a rare opportunity to come to a place like this, shouldn't we go find a place to play~ Oh~ I just saw from someone else's flyer that a new amusement park has recently opened..."
"Ahaha~ Teacher, sorry to interrupt, but the purpose of our coming here is not to play, right?"
Seeing the teacher's overwhelming excitement, Ayane couldn't bear it, but she still walked up to him and said with an awkward smile.
"Oh, yeah, I almost forgot about this..."
"Hehe~ It seems that the teacher really wants to play with us~"
Nomiya looked at the teacher's behavior and couldn't help but smile gently and said to the teacher.
"Well, Ayane-chan, there's no need to be so nervous. In fact, we can relax now. After all, we have a teacher, and maybe we can play like normal students."
Hoshino walked up and patted the teacher on the back, speaking lazily with his eyes closed.
"Well, there will be a chance later... Come to think of it, has Senior Hoshino also played here?"
Bai Zi also walked up to comfort the teacher, and then as they were walking together, Bai Zi remembered the tone of Hoshino-senpai's voice before, and thought that Hoshino-senpai had come out to play before.
"Huh? No~ Shirako-chan, I just heard about it, I heard about it, ah! It is said that there is a huge aquarium here! I really want to see it~ fish sashimi, eh hehe~"
"Hmm~ Um, Senior Hoshino, the aquarium is probably not what you think you can eat, right? Hmm? What's wrong with the teacher?"
"Ah? It's okay. Come to think of it, Ayane really doesn't want to come out and hang out with us?"
After putting the notebook that recorded Hoshino's words into his arms, Zhang Xinyuan stared at the little man in the communicator curiously and said.
"Yes, after all, I am not as good as you, so if anything unexpected happens, I can support you in the teacher's car."
At this time, Ayane, who was in the car, held her glasses, looked at everyone on the screen and said with a smile.
Hmm~ Speaking of which, this is also my first time in the teacher's car. I didn't expect Xia Lai's car to be so high-end? Does it have the same technological facilities as Millennium?
"Well, although my Xialai special car is very safe, please remember to notify us if there is any danger?"
Although it was a bit of a pity, since it was Ayane's request, Zhang Xinyuan had no choice but to agree.
...
"Bang bang bang!"
At this time, as everyone was heading towards the red dot, they suddenly heard fierce gunfire at a corner.
"Everyone, be careful!"
Qinxiang immediately prepared for battle, holding her weapon and looking forward seriously. The others surrounded the teacher to prevent him from being hurt by the bullets.
"Woohoo! This is not good, it's really not good! Please don't chase me!"
Hmm? Why does this sound so familiar? Have I heard it somewhere before?
Zhang Xinyuan, who was surrounded by the crowd, fell into deep thought. When he was carefully thinking about the owner of the voice in his mind, a familiar figure appeared at the corner of the entrance in front.
"Oh! I remember now! It's that Hifumi-san who I had to carry on my back to the Peloro press conference!"
"Wow~ Why are you chasing me?"
Wearing a simple Trinity uniform, holding her weapon in one hand and the Peloro backpack tightly tucked in the other, Hifumi ran in the hail of bullets with tears in her eyes.
I came here to look for the limited edition of Peloro because I heard about it. I didn't expect... this group of people who came out of nowhere suddenly chased me! I didn't do anything!
"Ah! Get out of the way!"
Seeing the people in Abydos, the kind-hearted Hifumi didn't want to harm innocent passers-by, and was about to go around Baizi, but was suddenly approached by Baizi and tripped.
"Ouch, it hurts. Sorry, are you okay?"
Hifumi stroked the cute head with her small hands, but thinking about the person she had bumped into earlier, she asked in panic if the other person had hurt her.
"It's okay, but how do you chase them?"
Bai Zi looked at the bad girl in front of him with a serious expression and asked.
"I, I don't know either. As soon as I came in, they kept chasing me... Hmm? Teacher?"
Hifumi also tilted her head in confusion, showing great bewilderment, but when she saw Zhang Xinyuan squeezing out from behind Nomiya and the others, her eyes suddenly lit up.
"Hey~ Long time no see, Hifumi-san, why do you always get into crisis every time we meet?"
Pulling Hifumi up, Zhang Xinyuan said to her with a funny expression.
"Hmm? An acquaintance of the teacher?"
"Ah~ I forgot to introduce you. This is Hifumi from Trinity School. Well, I met her once before when I was at Trinity."
Zhang Xinyuan took Ri Fumei's little hand and came in front of everyone to introduce Ri Fumei's identity.
"Hmm! Now I remember, that uniform belongs to one of the biggest schools in Kivotos, Holy Trinity School!"
After hearing the teacher's introduction, Ayane also said with a surprised expression.
"Oh, I almost forgot... Hello, I'm a student at Trinity School, Ajitani Hifumi, thank you for your guidance."
