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

'If it is entrusted...'

A certain possibility flashed in his mind, Luo Lin lowered his head calmly and took a mouthful of tonkotsu ramen, his eyes narrowed slightly.

Just as he was thinking in his mind, Mutsuki, who had a brick-red halo above his head and long pure white hair tied into a side ponytail on the left side of his head, laughed, his tone rising briskly.

"Hey hey, I finally found a dish that costs less than 600 yen!"

Ah Lu, who was at the front of everyone, also covered her lips and smiled lightly, a deep pink halo floated behind her head, and her back-length hair of the same color fell from both sides of her fair neck.

This demeanor combined with her OL attire, which is quite a bit of a workplace elite style, and the coat draped over her shoulders, make her look like a leader.

"Hehehe, you see, no matter what happens, I have a solution, and everything is within my expectations."

"Yes, is that so, as expected of the president, you really know everything..."

Chunxiang stood beside Ah Lu, more than half a body behind her, looking at her eyes filled with admiration.

"what……"

Kayoko, who was wearing a black loose sweater with a hem reaching up to her thighs, with a faintly exposed skirt, sighed weakly, and raised her hand to stroke the bangs on her forehead that were dyed from white to black, and the gray hair on the back of her head. The halo shimmered.

"It's four, isn't it? Please come with me and take a seat here."

Qin Xiang didn't pay attention to the strange interactions of these guests, she just planned to fulfill her duties as a waiter.

But unexpectedly, Mutsuki chose to refuse this should be a matter of course.

"No, we only need a bowl of noodles anyway, it doesn't matter."

"Just one bowl...?"

Qin Xiang was stunned for a while, she hadn't seen a customer who would make such a request after working for so long, so she didn't react for a while.

But she didn't waste too long, looked back at the vacant seats in the store, and continued to invite:

"But... Anyway, please sit down and relax, because it is free time now, so there are many places."

"Oh, what a kind clerk."

Hearing what Qin Xiang said, Mu Yue simply didn't shirk anymore, and instead pulled Ah Lu and others to follow Qin Xiang to find a seat and sit down with a smile on her face.

"Ah, I'm sorry, part-time sister Gentle, please give me four more pairs of chopsticks."

"Okay—huh?"

Qin Xiang subconsciously agreed, turned around and walked out after a few steps, when she suddenly felt something was wrong.

"Four pairs? Do you want to share a bowl with the four of you?"

"Yes, yes, sorry! We are too poor and sorry, we have no money, I am so sorry!"

The moment she heard Qin Xiang's question, Chun Xiang's head drooped, as if she had fallen into some kind of gloom, she stammered and apologized non-stop.

"Ah, no, no! That... there is no need to apologize!"

Chunxiang's sudden reaction confused the part-time black cat girl. She almost subconsciously spoke to comfort her, but actually her mind was a little confused.

'What, what's the situation...? '

"Celery."

"Eh?"

A familiar voice sounded behind her, Qin Xiang instinctively turned around, and the figure of Luo Lin who was approaching calmly came into view.

"Go tell the general, you need four bowls of ramen."

Luo Lin sighed softly, reached out and knocked on the tables of the people in the convenience room, and smiled slightly at the four girls with stunned expressions on their faces.

"I invite them to this table."

Chapter 41 Reminders

"Old, teacher?"

Qin Xiang was stunned for a moment, a little confused by Luo Lin who suddenly appeared to treat guests, and her mind didn't turn around for a moment.

Her eyes turned a few times between Luo Lin and the people in the convenience house, and said tentatively:

"Teacher, do you know them?"

"It's considered cooperation."

Luo Lin thought for a while, and replied truthfully:

"Because of the special nature of Xia Lai, when I first took office, I had a lot of miscellaneous things in my hands. It happened that they opened a convenience house, so I entrusted them to help me handle some of them."

"So it is."

Qin Xiang understood in her heart, nodded friendly to the four girls in the convenience house, then turned around and walked towards the back kitchen.

"Please wait a moment, the ramen will be ready soon."

"Ha... Thank you, teacher, for letting you spend money."

Watching Qinxiang's back disappear in the lobby, Kayoko sighed softly, moved her butt to the left, and looked at Luo Lin with dark red pupils.

"We'll give you your money back."

"It's okay, and it's not expensive."

Luo Lin smiled casually, and sat down in the seat vacated by Kayoko.

"But why do you have no money now? I remember that when I entrusted you to do things, I still gave you a very high—"

In the middle of speaking, Luo Lin's voice suddenly stopped, and his body tensed up suddenly.

Almost instinctively, his hands were stretched toward his back in a posture similar to an over-the-shoulder throw, and the moment no one had time to see clearly, he yanked violently.

"oops."

With the sound of a low exclamation, Luo Lin's ferocious beast-like movements suddenly stopped for half a beat.

As if realizing something, the strength in his hands that could easily break the necks of ordinary people relaxed instantly, and even the shape of his palms changed from grasping to gripping, as if he was picking up something, and a person slipped out from behind him.

Not only did Mutsuki, who was brought forward with his shoulders clasped by Luo Lin, not panicked, on the contrary, he still had a smile on his face like a little devil.

"It was discovered again. The teacher's perception is really as keen as ever."

"I told you not to come up from behind, Mutsuki."

Luo Lin sighed, and let go of the hand holding Muyue's shoulder, "The subconscious reaction is not so easy to control. If one time I really don't stop in time, it will happen...it will hurt people."

Breaking away from the iron-like confinement, Mutsuki not only did not leave, but rolled his eyes, sat down on Luo Lin's lap, and retorted in a natural tone:

"For a good person like the teacher, I'm afraid that if you see a stray rabbit on the street, you will take it home and raise it. How could it hurt the students?"

"..."

Luo Lin closed his eyes with a headache, raised his hand and pinched his brow, and pushed Mu Yue off his lap.

"It's business, Mutsuki, don't make trouble."

"I'm not messing around, teacher."

Mutsuki raised her head, looking confident and confident, "The teacher gave me a high commission last time, so we weren't that poor in the first place. If I have to say it, it's the fault of Alu-chan, who spends money lavishly."

"It's not 'Aru-chan' but the president, Mr. Mutsuki, please remember my title well."

Since the beginning of the conversation, Ah Lu, who had been sitting by the side and maintained a cold smile, and now even the muscles at the corners of her mouth began to ache, finally seized the opportunity to speak, and quickly changed into a proud expression.

"And teacher, hello, as a former partner, it's a pleasure to see you here."

"Hello, Lu."

Ignoring the girl's pretentious lines, Luo Lin cut straight to the point, "So what did you do...to cause financial difficulties to the point where four people need to eat a bowl of ramen?"

"...Hehe, teacher, the lion fights the rabbit with all my strength, I just put the highest importance on the entrustment."

"The meaning of this sentence is to say..."

Luo Lin pondered for a moment, then turned to look at Kayoko beside him, "Ah Lu, she spent all your property in one go in order to prepare for a certain commission?"

Kayoko stretched out her hand to support her forehead, looked away as if she couldn't bear to look directly, and nodded her head at the same time, which should be a response to Luo Lin.

"...hehehe."

Ah Lu, who saw Kayoko's reaction, suddenly laughed, with an indifferent expression on his face, like a peerless wise man who has no regrets.

"But you can actually eat ramen, right? It's all in my plan."

"Then at least I will leave four bowls of money... If I didn't happen to meet the teacher, I would really only have to share one bowl."

Kayoko's mouth twitched.

But Mu Yue's response was more direct, she didn't even pay attention to Ah Lu's words, and hummed twice to herself.

"I'll just say it straight, Alu-chan, you forgot it all, did you leave the money for dinner in advance?"

Ah Lu glanced at Mu Yue, but didn't reply, her eyes were narrowed into two sharp slits, and she let out a noncommittal chuckle, with a confident and disdainful appearance.

"cough."

Kayoko turned her eyes left and right, coughed lightly, and tried to smooth things over without any trace.

"However, it is better to minimize the risk. I also agree that the target this time should not be treated like a piece of trash like the Helmet Group."

"It's just the president, ah... no, it's nothing."

The words turned around, and a little hesitation suddenly flashed on the girl's face.

She glanced at Luo Lin, but finally swallowed the words back to her stomach, and remained silent.

Compared with Kayoko who thinks more, Mutsuki doesn't have so many scruples, and is still teasing Alu with a smile.

"I think Alu-chan probably doesn't know the opponent's strength herself, so she was scared and hired so many people."

"Who did you say was scared?! All this is within my expectations!"

Ah Lu frowned, and the corners of her lips curled into a bad arc.

"Our commission will never allow failure, so I will use all available resources. This is the motto of Convenience House 68!"

"Is that the case?"

Luo Lin blinked, leaned back on the back of the chair, and touched the faint stubble on his chin, "How do I remember that your motto last time wasn't like this?"

"You remember correctly, teacher."

Kayoko looked up at the sky again and sighed deeply, always feeling that the number of sighs in one day may be more than the usual three days combined.

"It's the first time I've heard the so-called motto I just said..."

And Muyue slapped her hands without thinking it was a big deal, and smiled more and more happily, "Of course I just thought of it just now!"

"Stop chattering!"

Ah Lu raised her chin and forcibly skipped the topic.

"If we successfully complete this commission and get paid, we'll go eat sukiyaki, and the teacher will come too, so everyone cheer up!"

"Shou, Sukiyaki... What the hell is that?!"

Chunxiang, who had been listening silently, shivered and made a trembling voice.

"It's adults' food, it's very expensive..."

There was also a hint of yearning in Kayoko's tone, but she quickly realized it and coughed a few times to cover up her emotions.

"Hmph, employees of a powerful company like ours, how can we not be extravagant?"

Ah Lu snorted a few times triumphantly, if there was a small tail behind her, it might have been up to the sky.

"How does the teacher feel?"

"Hmm... that's pretty good. This enthusiasm is worthy of praise."

Luo Lin thought about it for a while, and said euphemistically as if he meant something, "However, before accepting the entrustment, you should understand the situation thoroughly."
