"Oh it's you!"
"Eh?"
Seeing Alu walk into the room with a blushing face, come to the table, and wipe the water stains on the screen with a tissue, Haruka tilted her head with a puzzled expression.
Why does Lord Alu have such an expression when his phone is wet?
Meanwhile, Xia Lai.
"Hmm~ This is probably not a message from Alu, right? The words sound a little weird."
Zhang Xinyuan, who had just returned, took out his mobile phone, looked at the message left by Alu, and immediately thought of Mutsuki.
Could it be that Mutsuki was not satisfied with being beaten up by himself today, so he used Alu's phone to play a prank on himself?
Chapter 40: Preparations before the Storm
The city at night was still as bright and bustling as ever. At Alona's reminder, Zhang Xinyuan rubbed his eyes and looked at his Xialai building. Zhang Xinyuan stretched himself and took the documents in front of him. Then Zhang Xinyuan asked Alona to drive back by herself.
Hmm~ It’s better not for Qing-chan to install some autonomous driving AI system for herself, otherwise Alona will be jealous again.
As it was too late, Zhang Xinyuan looked at the Angel 24-hour convenience store next to him, and then leisurely walked into the convenience store to buy a lunch box as usual.
However, every time I come here, I can see the cute and shy Xiaokong, and the fatigue of the day is healed by Xiaokong's soft voice~
Of course, after a long time, I became very curious. After all, as an adult, it is normal for me to work so late. But as a junior high school student, Xiaokong is there every time I enter the convenience store?
Although Xiaokong said that every time she was on duty, but...
"Yes, this is the teacher's favorite barbecue bento. Of course, it just happened to be the last one left."
Looking at her shyly handing over the barbecue bento that he often bought, Zhang Xinyuan still couldn't help but touch her cheek.
Wow~ So bouncy.
"Ah woo~"
Even though the teacher touched his cheeks and head so many times, Xiao Kong still couldn't look the teacher in the eye normally (laughs).
...
"Huh~ Mutsuki, don't play with Alu's phone."
After teasing Xiaokong as usual, Zhang Xinyuan went back upstairs to take a shower. When he was preparing to process the information collected today, he saw the message sent by Alu. He shook his head and smiled, and then sent the message casually.
"No, teacher, I just posted the content... No, the content above is not what I wanted to post, ah, it's not... Hmm~ I don't understand, teacher, can you come and meet us at noon tomorrow? It's in Abydos, near Chaiguan Noodle House. I'll send you the address later."
Hmm? It's really Alu? So she still hasn't realized that I'm the teacher advisor supporting Abydos?
Looking at the address that Alu gave him and then reading the words on it, Zhang Xinyuan stopped his hand that was about to dry his hair, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.
It's not that I don't want to see Alu, but I had originally planned to have a talk with Hoshino tomorrow, because... when I was making a scene with the students on campus today, I saw Hoshino sitting on one of the few chairs under the shade of a tree, and he was looking at me with trust and relief.
If I hadn't been surrounded by all the people in Abydos, I would have been afraid that I wouldn't have noticed him at all when I realized that Hoshino didn't come over.
"It shouldn't be a big deal, right?"
After thinking for a while, Zhang Xinyuan felt that he should meet with Alu first and then go find Hoshino the next day. After all, he already knew most of the debt problem of Abydos and the mastermind behind it had also been found. Alu and the others should have no reason to fight with Baizi and the others.
After replying to Alu that it was no problem, Zhang Xinyuan went to the workspace of the office and spread out all the information he had collected in the past few days.
He clicked the button on the computer in front of the table, and a transparent fluorescent blue screen appeared in the dim room.
Zhang Xinyuan slowly closed his eyes and put his mind deep into Alona's space. He saw Alona sleeping soundly on the desk. After Zhang Xinyuan gently covered Alona with a quilt and whispered "thank you for your hard work" in her ear, Zhang Xinyuan left the space.
"Well, no one should bother you now. Let me finish. The cash for Abydos's payment was indeed delivered to Caesar Loan. The car from Caesar Loan is the evidence."
Zhang Xinyuan pointed her hand, and a report about Bai Zi and the others' loan with Caesar appeared in front of her.
"Then there's the mission support of 588 million Federation coins for the Steel Helmets... Well, just like what Serika-chan said this afternoon, they gave all their money to the Steel Helmets to attack their school, so the mastermind behind this is the Caesar Group. But generally speaking, as a lender, why would you want to get rid of the person you're lending money to? If you get rid of them, who would you ask for the money from later?"
Zhang Xinyuan circled the interests above and frowned.
Today, Nomiya also raised such a question, and everyone was also confused. However, as students, Zhang Xinyuan did not want them to know the dark side of this matter. After Zhang Xinyuan said some words to reassure everyone, the topic was terminated, and what followed was the affairs of adults.
"The background of the Caesars Group is also very mysterious. Whether it is military, entertainment, or economics, it has penetrated deeply into the entire Kivotos, but as for politics, it seems to be in a state of ambiguity."
Unlike schools like Abydos which only have 5 people, Zhang Xinyuan has also followed up on other campuses. Not to mention the Federal Council to which he belongs. Although it is not the area that Rin-chan is in charge of, he learned from Rin-chan that the person in charge of this area communicating with the Caesar Group is Hanaya Shiranui, the chief of the Defense Room of the Administrative Committee.
Hmm~ Although I had come into contact with him once before when I wanted to learn more about Caesar Group, this classmate gave me a very strange feeling. Although he told me some things about Caesar Group, when I think about it carefully, all of them were unimportant information.
Later, he went to find Yuxiang to find out the situation, but Millennium did not have much communication with the Caesar Group. However, Zhang Xinyuan also learned about the black market situation of the Caesar Group, so he led everyone to the black market to look for clues.
"Ha~ It's really a headache~ Holy Trinity at Hifumi's side should know more news, but what Hoshino said before Hifumi left is right, the political situation at Holy Trinity is a bit complicated, and it is impossible for them to help Abydos..."
After drinking the hot drink, Zhang Xinyuan started his work for the night.
"As the saying goes, never fight a battle without preparation. I will thoroughly understand all the information I have collected tonight!"
...
the next day.
"Good morning, Alu-chan."
"morning..."
Seeing Alu's listless look, Mutsuki came to Alu's side, looked at Alu's phone, and couldn't help but pretend to be surprised and said, "Ah, could it be that Alu is worried because she made an appointment with the teacher all at once, but in the end she was very distressed about how to meet the teacher?"
"Eh?! Ahem, how could that be! Who am I, A-Lu? Even if I'm meeting a teacher, I'm always calm and handsome. There's no way I'd panic!"
Seeing Mutsuki looking at the content on her phone, Alu snatched the phone in a panic, pretending to be calm, with her eyes wide open, and spoke in a spirited manner.
"Phew~ President, are we really going to meet the teacher like this... Although we should send twice as many mercenaries, and Haruka went to install explosives early in the morning, if..."
At this time, Kayoko walked out of the room and spoke calmly to Alu.
"Well, I'm back."
"Ah~ Haruka is back, I guess the location is correct, right?"
While Kayoko was speaking, Haruka also walked in. Listening to Mutsuki's gentle words, Haruka also showed a sinister smile.
"Well, it's been installed according to everyone's plan. We're just waiting for the teacher to come and witness everyone's chance to win. In this way, Haruka might..."
Seeing everyone looking so happy, Alu, who was forcing a smile, suddenly felt her mind very confused and could only sigh helplessly.
Chapter 41: The Powerful Disciplinary Committee Chairman
"Hmm? Aru-chan, are you so stressed? Isn't it just meeting the teacher?"
Hearing Alu's sigh, Mutsuki frowned cutely and said, "Speaking of which, Alu, if you are worried, there is still time, right? Can't you just tell the teacher that you don't want to meet? Besides..."
Thinking that Alu was going to fight the opponent today, the teacher would have to step in. Mutsuki was very curious about what would happen then.
"Well, it's not the teacher's problem, but I thought the battle with Abydos would be very easy before I went there, so why did it turn out like this?"
Seeing Alu tilting her head and supporting her head with her hands with a thoughtful expression, Mutsuki said unhappily, "It's because you, Alu, didn't take the customer's deposit at the beginning, which resulted in us not having enough strength to solve it all at once..."
Well, even if it is accepted, there is a high probability that the teacher will come forward at that time.
"Eh?! Not collecting deposits is an iron rule of our convenience store! You can't break it no matter what!"
"Eh? Is there such an iron rule?"
"Ahem, Mutsuki, of course there is! This has been the iron rule of our convenience store since its establishment, you wouldn't have forgotten it, right?!"
Looking at Alu's awkward smile, Mutsuki wanted to say that he had forgotten, but he still showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.
"Hmm... President, do you think that if we receive the deposit, we will obey the client's orders?"
"Yes! Kayoko, after all, to be a true lawless outlaw, you need to be free from any constraints and restraints! This way, you can get paid after each success, and we will be one step closer to success!"
Listening to Alu's lofty ambitions, Mutsuki beside him interrupted and said, "What if the teacher happens to be the target of the commission, will Alu-chan also kill him without mercy?"
"Hmm! This..."
As soon as the word "teacher" was mentioned, Alu was at a loss. After all, she was able to have this idea because of the teacher's guidance. But if the teacher became the target, could she still accept it handsomely?
"Phew~ President, since you are under so much pressure, why don't we just go back to Gehenna?"
"Hmm~ Go back to Gehenna? Kayoko-chan, you know what happened to us that caused the Disciplinary Committee over there to chase us! If we go back now, we will be trapped."
When he heard that they were going back to Gehenna, Mu Yue disagreed directly.
"Well, actually there are almost no strong people on Gehenna's side. But we were able to escape successfully, just because the head of the discipline committee, Kurosaki Hina, was not there."
When Hinata's name was mentioned, everyone in the convenience store couldn't help but show a solemn expression.
"Hmm~ The only person I really don't dare to think about is the Discipline Committee Chairman."
Mutsuki rarely showed a trace of fear on his face. Kayoko glanced at Mutsuki and continued slowly, "Hina Sorasaki is a person who has perfectly demonstrated the ability to fight one against a hundred. Almost all of Kivotos' students have tried to fight against Hina, but without exception, they were all completely subdued by Hina."
"However, except for Hina, the others are not as strong as us. With a little planning, we can live well in Gehenna."
"Hehe, so Kayoko has already made a plan to go back to Gehenna... But our president doesn't even dare to think about it~"
After suppressing his fear of Hina, Mutsuki looked at Alu, who was standing there with a dazed look, with interest.
"Hehe, I'm not scared! It's just... I don't have the intention to go back now! Um..."
Thinking about Hina behind the teacher, she is really scary!
"Ni hehe~ Don't think too much, Alu-chan. It's almost time now, so you should get ready to meet the teacher. Haruka-chan! Get ready to go~"
"Eh? Okay!"
Haruka, who had been taking care of the grass on the balcony, heard Mutsuki's call, and hurriedly wrapped up the potted plants and went into the room to reunite with everyone.
"Let's go! Let's go to Shibaseki Ramen to meet the teacher!"
...
"Yeah, I'm going to meet Alu and the others later... But it's still early, so let's go to Abydos first to see everyone, and by the way, let's go out for a while at noon today."
Early in the morning, Zhang Xinyuan drove to the school gate of Abidos. While going upstairs, Zhang Xinyuan was struggling over whether he should tell everyone about the convenience house. When he opened the classroom door, he found that only Hoshino and Nomiya were left inside.
"Ah, teacher, good morning. You are here early again today."
"Hey~ Is the teacher here? Good morning."
"Um, Nomiya, Hoshino, good morning, what are you doing..."
Looking at Hoshino lying leisurely on Nomiya's lap, and Nomiya holding something that seemed to be a prop for cleaning ears, Zhang Xinyuan put his office bag aside and cast a curious look at him.
