"..." "..." "..." The five girls were stunned. They... seemed like they had never expected this. After they glanced at each other evasively, they saw the embarrassment in each other's eyes. But it doesn’t matter, as long as there is someone present who is more embarrassed than you, that embarrassed person will not be you. Hoshino Takanashi, Shirako Sandarova, Izayoi Nomiya and Ayane Okumura all looked at Kuromi Serika, who had not yet had time to hold back the tears in her eyes. "You...why are you looking at me?!" Kuromi Serika, who was already extremely restless and tapping her toes on the floor, was even more stimulated by the meaningful looks from her companions, and even the hairs on her cat ears stood up. "Anyway...anyway, relying on this kind of reliable adult with a mysterious background to solve problems is too...too...anyway, I absolutely do not agree with it!"

Judging from the girl's blushing face, erratic eyes and incoherent words, it can be seen that her brain is in a state of burnt paste and she may not even know what she said. But Kuromi Serika still had a burning face and increasingly complicated gazes from all directions, and she almost cried out the final summary. "I hate you guys the most!!!" The girl covered her cheek with one hand and pressed the other hand on the desk in front of the window, then jumped directly from the half-open window of the activity room on the third floor. Simple and fast, like a gust of wind. Even the closest sand wolf Baizi didn't react. If you ask why the girl climbed out the window and ran away, it might be because Si Wang was right next to the door. “Haha…haha…” Izayoi Nomiya, who came back to his senses first, gave Si Wang an embarrassed smile, “Teacher, I’ll go see Serika-chan.” "Oh...oh...no problem, go ahead." Si Wang nodded blankly. To be honest, he had indeed seen many tricks of the Kivotos students in this month, but Kuromi Serika's actions still made his eyes go dark. But he quickly regained consciousness and called out to Izayoi Yonomiya, who was running out in a hurry, "Take your weapons with you. There may be more Steel Helmets wandering around the school who haven't returned to the base." Izayoi Nomiya was startled when he heard this, and turned around to put the M134 machine gun in the corner on his back, "Thank you for the reminder, teacher!" Si Wang looked at this person who seemed to get impatient and lose his composure when it came to the safety of his companions, and sighed, "And what about classmate Qinxiang..." "……Feel sorry." Izayoino didn't dare to look up at Si Wang's expression. She grabbed the muzzle of Kuromi Serika's assault rifle and ran out of Abydos' activity room with a red face. "Hehehe, I'm a little embarrassed to let the teacher see the immature side of Abydos~" Seeing Si Wang easily dissolve the heavy depression into relaxation and joy, Hoshino Kotori relaxed on the desk as if a mountain had been lifted off his back, revealing a smile without the slightest bit of embarrassment, "My juniors are very cute, aren't they?" "Yeah." Si Wang looked at the half-open window and the handle that had been twisted off the wooden door and nodded, "It's unexpectedly cute." "Hehehe~" Ayane Okumura looked at the little bird Yu Hoshino, who had become a salted fish again, and the sand wolf Baizi, whose eyes were shining and seemed to be looking for an opportunity to join in.

The girl, knowing full well that her two predecessors were unreliable in some aspects, took a deep breath and stepped forward. "Teacher, the reason why we owe such a large sum of money is actually..." "It's to curb the desertification of Abydos." Si Wang interrupted Ayane Okumura. He didn't appreciate the girl's bad taste in exposing her own scars. Well, at least not to these fun girls. "In order to solve the problem of desertification in Abydos, a huge amount of money needs to be invested in prevention and control. However, we couldn't find a bank willing to provide loans for this purpose, so we turned to loan sharks. However, we didn't expect that the scale of desertification would become larger and larger every year, so the amount of loans also increased year by year. In the end, we had exhausted all our strength just to pay the interest, and even our ammunition supplies were running out. We were also helpless in the face of some small gangsters." Si Wang rubbed the sand that had just floated onto the table with his fingers, and looked up at the girls. "That's about it, right?" The three girls were speechless for a moment. They didn't expect Si Wang to know so much about their school. "..." "..." "Hehe... Hehe..." Hoshino Takanari rubbed his cheek. "I didn't expect the teacher to know so much about such a boring story..." "Didn't I say that?" Si Wang replied with a smile, "You sought help, and I accepted the request. But if I don't get to the root of the problem, how can I solve your pain points?" "That is... that is to say!" Okumura Ayane pressed her hands tightly against her chest, "Even if the teacher knew the current situation of Abydos, would he be willing to help us?!" Si Wang stretched out his right hand and made a [Y] gesture with his index finger and middle finger. "Ah, okay! I understand!" Okumura Ayane used her hands to straighten her bangs and smooth out the wrinkles on her sleeves. She was so excited that she didn't know where to put her hands. The girl bowed deeply, "Please give me more guidance in the future, teacher!" "...Teacher is really a weirdo." The man in front of him with a frank smile seemed to overlap with a certain phantom in his mind. Hoshino Kotori rubbed his eyes, and his turbulent emotions finally turned into a sound that he didn't know whether it was thanks or something else. "You are willing to get involved in such a troublesome matter." "If Qinxiang was hiding at the door and eavesdropping at this moment, she would be so moved that she would cry." Just when the atmosphere was gradually moving towards the mainstream plot, Sand Wolf Baizi was always good at looking at the problem from another angle and giving incisive comments. She said seriously, "Then I was so excited that I tossed and turned in my bed all night and couldn't sleep." Hoshino Takanashi and Ayane Okumura's breathing stopped. Kuromi Serika, who had just sneaked back from the back door and was about to apologize to Si Wang, was hiding at the door wiping her tears. "..."

Chapter 16 How many girlfriends does the teacher have? [Yuka: Teacher! Why did I see your order on their desk when I went to the engineering department today?] [Yuka: It's actually an armed drone worth 25 credits! ] [Si Wang: How is it? It’s very cheap, right, Youxiang~] [Si Wang: My classmates in the engineering department gave me a 50% discount for your sake, Youxiang.] [Si Wang: I really have to thank Youxiang, otherwise I, the teacher, would have to go out and starve for the remaining 10 days of this month.]

【Yuka: Huh? Ah, you’re welcome, teacher. This is me… that’s not right! This isn’t the point! Teacher, don’t change the subject every time!!!】 [Youxiang: Adding the special cat food you bought from Shanhaijing this month, your expenses are already over 30, right? ! Are you really not starving on the street now? ! ! ! ] [Si Wang: Oh, don’t worry about that. I’m eating in Abydos right now. The firewood here tastes really good.] [Si Wang: Do you want me to pack some for you to try? ] [Yuka: ...Teacher, are you trying to change the subject again? ] [Yuka: Anyway! Teacher, call me as soon as you come back from Abydos! I will definitely correct your habit of spending money lavishly!] [Yuka: Huh... Really, we are all adults now, can't we control our desires? ] [Si Wang: Youxiang, you are saying the exact opposite. It is because you are an adult now and have a salary that you can freely spend that you cannot control your desires.] [Yuka: ...I find that your fallacies always come one after another...] [Youxiang: Stop talking so much! When you return to Xialai, you must! Immediately! Call me as soon as possible! ! ! ] [Si Wang: Yes, Your Highness! 】 【Yuka: ……】 Si Wang pinched his shoulders. The hospital bed provided for students was too small for him. When he slept on it, his arms and legs would bump against each other. "I said……" Kuromi Serika, wearing a black reception uniform, held the menu and looked at the five people who were blocking the door of the ramen shop with half-closed eyes. "Why do you know this place!!!" "Haha, hahaha..." Facing her classmates' questioning, Okumura Ayane smiled awkwardly, "Serika-chan...good afternoon." "Ah, because I think that the teacher has been busy all day for us, but I haven't treated him well once. After thinking about it, I feel a little embarrassed." Hoshino Takanashi didn't seem to notice the embarrassed expression of his juniors at all, and yawned slowly, "Then I suddenly remembered that Serika-chan happened to be working at Shibaseki Ramen Shop, so I just brought everyone here." "Hey, Serika-san." Si Wang turned off the momotalk with Hayase Yuka and gave Kuromi Serika a thumbs up, "The uniform fits your cool and capable image very well." "Teacher is right~" Izayonomiya looked up and down at Kuromi Serika's outfit and clasped her hands happily, "It really suits Serika-chan very well!" Sand Wolf Baizi nodded in agreement, "Yeah!" "Ah...ah..." Kuromi Serika's face suddenly turned red. She didn't know where to look. Her arms unconsciously exerted force, holding the menu in her arms tighter and tighter. "Thank you...thank you..." "Are you a student of Abydos?" A Shiba Inu wrapped in a white turban seemed to have heard the commotion at the door. He walked over from the kitchen while wiping his paws with a towel. He nodded and greeted everyone first, then said to Kuromi Serika, "Serika-chan, that's enough greetings. Please take your order first." "Ah...ah, okay, General!" After this reminder, Kuromi Serika realized that she had blocked her classmates here to chat, and had already hindered those who wanted to enter the store behind. She quickly moved aside and led the students into the store, "Well, I'll take you to the larger table first..." At this point, Kuromi Serika's voice choked for a moment, and she tried to force out a less stiff smile, "Please come this way, sir..."

Compared to Si Wang's leisurely pace, the girls' speed was much faster. By the time he reached the dining table, the girls from Abydos had already filled up the long chair-like benches. "Teacher, come here, this way~" Izayoi Nomiya is always the first to notice the changes in the expressions of the people around her. She waved to Si Wangkai with a smile on her face, and then patted the small empty seat next to her, "There is still a seat here!" "Teacher." Seeing his companion taking the initiative, Sand Wolf Baizi also raised his head for some reason, staring at Si Wang with his black and white pupils, "I have a vacant seat here too." In response to the two girls' cordial invitation, Si Wang only smiled slightly, turned his head and shouted to General Chai who was already stirring the spoon, "Boss, can we have an extra stool for this table?" "no problem." "thank you boss!" Si Wang pulled out a stool from under the dining table and sat down facing a circle of stunned little faces that had not yet reacted. "..." "..." "...Teacher." Hoshino Kotori, who was about to watch the fun, looked at Si Wang who was sitting alone on the side and shook his head, "You are really experienced. How many times have you encountered this situation?" As soon as he finished speaking, Sand Wolf Baizi frowned, and even Izayoi Nomiya, who always had a good temper, puffed up her cheeks. "Want to know this? Well you'll have to wait, I need to count them carefully." But this did not pose a problem for Si Wang at all. He first imitated the Sand Wolf Baizi by frowning, and then began to count on his fingers one by one. Looking at Si Wang's fingers pulling up and pressing down one by one, the girls' expressions became more complicated. After he broke his hands and still hadn't finished counting, Si Wang tapped his head awkwardly and said politely to Hoshino Kotori, whose face had already stiffened, "Mr. Hoshino, can you lend me a few fingers? I'm really bad at addition and subtraction of numbers above two digits..." “Hahaha…hahaha…” Hoshino Takanashi looked at Si Wang who was looking at her seriously and couldn't help but laugh out loud without any gloom. She wiped the tears from her eyes and said, "The teacher is more interesting than I thought!" Seeing their senior laughing so happily, for some reason, Sand Wolf Byakuko, Izayoi Nomiya and Okumura Ayane also started laughing. The store was suddenly filled with a cheerful atmosphere. Bang! Feeling the meaningful look from General Chai behind her, Kuromi Serika slammed the menu on the table with a dark face, causing the tea that had just been served to jump. "Stop arguing! Order your food now!" "This is not the way to treat guests, Serika-chan." Hoshino Kotori rubbed his stomach which hurt from laughing, "Shouldn't you be more polite?" "please!" Kuromi Serika was grinding her teeth with a loud grinding sound. "Hurry! Order! Food!" Looking at the girls making a mess, Si Wang smiled and shook his head. He tapped his leg with his middle finger and an aphid crawled out from between his fingers.

After a silent slide, the [aphid] landed on Kuromi Serika's ponytail that hung down to her calf, crawled up along the hair, and hid deep inside. Chapter 17: Qinxiang, the car is ready "Qingxiang-chan, you've worked hard today, be careful on the road." "What are you talking about, General? I should be the one to take care of you this week." After politely declining General Shiba's offer to treat her to a bowl of ramen, Kuromi Serika slung her schoolbag over her shoulder and walked on the overpass with heavy steps. "Ahaha... It's finally over." The girl touched her rumbling stomach and tilted her head to look at the horizon outlined in the dim yellow of the afterglow. "It's been a busy day." The night had fallen at some point, and the night sky showed its unique charm.
