In the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed during the ordinary working hours.
The cold spring is gradually replaced by the hot summer. Occasionally, when walking on the road, you can see in the distance that the air above the road is distorted.
However, his time working in the convenience store allowed him to meet two new friends before he actually became a teacher.
But most of the time he was very idle, allowing him to learn combat under Prana's guidance and try to guide the power of the Nameless God, making the halo appear and using "adult cards" that were different from the past.
The modified cards no longer summoned students from the future, but provided help in another form, which was a better choice for him personally.
And sometimes...
A junior high school girl wearing a white shirt and a black pleated skirt, with short hair and glasses, who looks like a typical three-good student except for a pair of devil-like horns - Lu Ba Ma Airu, will appear in convenience stores to seek advice from her elders.
Today, the literary girl Ailu was lying on the cash register, looking at him nervously:
"Well, that...Mr. Moru! I saw a classmate bullying a junior. What do you think I should do? Should I just pretend I didn't see it like everyone else? Or...?"
Facing the nervous yet expectant look of the girl who would come to the convenience store from time to time and was obviously very honest but very fond of listening to his opinions, Mo Lu thought about it thoughtfully before slowly speaking:
"When people have trouble making decisions, they usually use external things to help them make decisions. For example, flipping a coin is one option. Hmm... do you want to give it a try?"
As he spoke, he took out a coin from his pocket and handed it to the stunned girl: "Why don't you try it too?"
"Huh? What? Uh...you want me to decide with a coin?" Ailu stared at the coin blankly, with obvious disappointment on her face.
"Give it a try? If it's heads, just pretend you didn't see it. If it's tails, how about helping her?"
“This, this…” Ailu took it with embarrassment, and under his urging gaze, the coin flew away with a “ding!” sound.
However, just as the coin fell from mid-air and was about to land in Ailu's palm, he stretched out his hand and patted Ailu's hand, covering the coin, and smiled at her puzzled gaze, "Ailu, which side do you hope it will be?"
"....That side....I..."
"Let me guess, it's the other way around, right?"
"Huh? W-why do you know..." Ailu, who was still staring at his hand, looked up in surprise.
He smiled mysteriously: "Actually, I can read minds, huh? So I know you were inclined to help from the beginning, right?"
"Okay, so awesome!"
"Well, it's okay."
"No, but..." After exclaiming for a moment, Ailu looked embarrassed again, so Mo Lu put his hand on her shoulder, as if to give her courage, and said in a deep voice: "It's okay, Ailu will definitely be fine."
"Those who bully that child are not good people...If I..."
"Only the weak will bully others to show off their insignificant strength, and such people will not have the courage to provoke the strong, so as long as you can be stronger than them." He paused halfway through his words, and then continued: "And if you really have any problems, just come to me, I will definitely help you solve it."
"Great, so reliable! Is this the adult...?" Ailu, who did not doubt his words at all, had bright eyes and nodded continuously: "Yes! I understand! Thank you! Mr. Molu!!"
Encouraged by his words, the girl seemed to have found the direction of her life. She regained her courage, thanked him, and walked out of the convenience store quickly.
"Hmm~ Is this what it feels like to be a teacher? This is the first time I have truly led others and put my students on the right path - from now on, this day every year will be my Teacher's Day!"
The memories of the previous timeline were vague, so when watching Ailu leave, Mo Lu's face was filled with an indescribable sense of accomplishment. He even glanced at the calendar, preparing to take Ailu to celebrate when he had the chance.
Chapter 6: Girls in Swimsuits Digging Sand
After the only customer left, Prana's voice was heard from inside the convenience store:
"Question, how did the teacher know what the child was thinking? Can you really read minds?"
"How is that possible? It's just that when she asked this question, she already had the answer in her mind."
"Why do you say that?"
"Someone who really ignores things won't ask others what they should do. She just hopes someone will give her a push from behind."
"....What if she is really bullied?"
"I'll leave that to you~"
"Me?... Got it. I'll start executing your orders now." Without further ado, Prana lowered her eyes and said calmly, "Start hacking into the city's surveillance now. Keep an eye on her situation. If something goes wrong, I'll notify you immediately."
"Thank you~"
"Helping the teacher is my mission in life....but why doesn't the teacher do it himself?"
"I want to, but I can't get away now..."
Going to work and commuting are enough to consume most of your energy. You still have to take care of Baizi when you get home. Therefore, if possible, it would be better if students can support each other. If that is not possible, you can only go by yourself.
However, when he had some free time, he regretted that the bank was an internal network, and even Prana could not help him get money, so he continued to study the abilities he was given.
Prana, on the other hand, hacked into the surveillance camera and paid attention to what was happening on the other side while sighing softly:
"Teacher, what a waste of talent, working here."
"Nothing big should have happened at this point in time. By the way...we can talk about the future at this time."
"There are many things in the future, but when you come, the trajectory must be different. And if I have to say something..." Prana closed her eyes and pondered for a moment, her tone suddenly became more serious than ever before: "At this point in time, there is something you should be concerned about."
"whats the matter?"
"Based on the information I heard from the teacher before, it will probably not be long before the student council president of Abydos, Yume Kazuko, dies."
"....The halo is broken?"
"Affirmative." Prana lowered her eyes silently.
"What exactly happened?"
"I'm sorry. I don't know."
"No....it's not your fault. There was really not much I could do before."
He shook his head to comfort Prana, then looked away from the tablet and looked at the people passing by outside the store, frowning slightly.
In this world, death is a very rare thing.
Even in the Gehenna Autonomous Region, where shootings are frequent and tanks roar on the streets from time to time, no one has actually died in many years.
It’s not that the students here are very sensible. Even if they get on a tank, they won’t directly hit other people’s bodies. Rather, the students in this city all have halos of different shapes above their heads.
The halo with special power is the source of the girls' strength, making them invulnerable to swords and guns, and immune to artillery shells.
Of course, if one suffers irreversible trauma in a short period of time, or does not consume water or food for a long time, or suffocates for a long time or loses too much blood, such situations will cause the halo to be broken...but this process will take much longer than that of a normal person.
Therefore, for the students here, the shattering of the halo means true death.
Because of this, after learning the news, Mo Lu couldn't help but pay attention to the situation of Abydos High School, and on Saturday, he went to Abydos High School immediately, but...
Although he did not find anyone in the high school, he was lucky enough to enter the desert area with the guidance of passers-by. There was no wind at all that day, so he was able to follow the footprints and find the target person all the way.
However, at the end of the trail, what appeared before him... was a scene completely beyond his imagination.
On a stretch of golden sand dunes, the only two remaining students of Abydos High School - Student Council President Yume Kotori and Vice President Hoshino Kotori - were both wearing swimsuits, holding shovels and pickaxes, and were digging in the hot sand with sweat all over their bodies.
Meng Zi, the girl with a hot body, even though she was wearing a school-issued swimsuit that was not revealing at all and was completely sound, her curvy figure was outlined under the sunlight, which was quite pleasing to the eyes.
Next to her, Hoshino Kotori wearing the same swimsuit can only be described as cute, right? Perhaps for some people with special hobbies, they can feel a completely different charm.
Because that was indeed a lovely child, with delicate and regular features and a petite body like an albino, which is the legendary loli body shape.
A pair of heterochromatic eyes - one blue and one orange, which are quite different from Baizi's.
The pink shoulder-length hair makes her look very lively, and paired with two playful and cute tiger teeth, she is undoubtedly a typical heterochromic loli image.
Compared to Meng's mature charm, Hoshino's swimsuit looks more innocent and cute. His flat chest contrasts sharply with Meng's eye-catching fullness. The picture of the two of them digging sand side by side in swimsuits creates a strong contrast, which makes him want to take a photo.
"...But what is this doing?"
Mo Lu stopped for a long time, trying to figure out the logic behind the strange behavior of these two JKs digging holes in the desert in swimsuits in the middle of the day.
However, no matter how hard he racked his brains, he couldn't figure out what they were doing. In order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings and make people think he was peeping or something, he quietly turned around and prepared to leave.
But just as he turned around and tried to leave quietly, a gust of wind suddenly blew past his ears.
He looked up in astonishment, only to see a pickaxe falling accurately in front of him with a sharp whistling sound, deeply embedded in the sand, just blocking his way. Behind him, the cold voice of a girl came:
"Who are you? What are you looking at?" He turned around in astonishment, only to see Hoshino Kotori standing quietly behind him, his eyes full of vigilance, his tone mixed with hostility that could not be ignored: "Are you... a perverted uncle who peeks at other people's swimsuits?"
"I haven't said anything yet, have I?" He had so many things to complain about that he couldn't help but retort: "Don't treat me like a pervert, okay? After all, I'm not even old enough to be an uncle, am I?"
"You've been staring at girls' swimsuits, and you say you're not a pervert?" Hoshino didn't give in, his sharp eyes seemed to penetrate his heart.
This strange misunderstanding also made him feel innocent.
It's okay for him to be misunderstood for liking to play with white guys, but this time it was not really his subjective behavior... although it is indeed quite pleasing to the eye.
Chapter 7: Hedgehog-like Lolita Hoshino
It is impossible to express the thoughts in my heart no matter what, otherwise I would never be able to wash them away even if I jumped into the Yellow River.
Therefore, facing the girl's aggressive gaze, Mo Lu sighed with innocence and asked, "I just don't understand why you are digging holes in the sand in your swimsuits? Ask yourself, if you saw someone doing such a strange thing, wouldn't you take a second look?"
"Woo..." Hoshino's expression suddenly became tense, and he turned to the side of him angrily, letting out a low groan that seemed to be squeezed out of his throat: ".....Senior!"
"Now, now that I think about it, it seems that there is really no need to wear a swimsuit?" Meng obviously realized the subtlety of the situation, and tried to get away with it with a relaxed tone with a wry smile.
But Xingye was not so easy to fool. He glared at her with a look of grievance and anger on his face: "——Then why did you force me to put on my swimsuit?!"
"Because... because I was thinking, if we dig up the ground, maybe we can find groundwater? Then wouldn't the problem of desertification be solved?" Meng looked a little embarrassed at first, but as he spoke, he became a little excited. He clapped his hands with shining eyes and said, "Wouldn't everything be fine this way? Congratulations, congratulations~...!"
"Although I think it's not completely impossible, but if two people could just dig it out... Abydos wouldn't be like this now, right?" Mo Lu put his hand on his forehead and tried to organize his thoughts. Then he looked at the swimsuit loli and asked in a low voice: "... Is this person really okay? I feel like she's the type that's easily deceived."
"....Senior has always had problems. Not long ago, he was deceived by a strange adult, and twice!" Thinking of Meng's experience, Xingye couldn't help but sigh: "I can't understand why Senior never learns from his mistakes."
"Strange sir?" Hearing this, Mo Lu thought for a moment and nodded: "Indeed, the population of this autonomous region is decreasing. It is almost becoming a slum full of bad people. We really need to be on guard everywhere."
"That's what I mean!" Xingye immediately took over the conversation, as if he had opened the floodgates of his memory, and directly dug up the old account, complaining to Meng non-stop:
"——Senior Meng! From now on, please treat everyone you don't know as a villain!"
"This is not...."
"What if someone swindles you out of all your money again?! I still have to treat you to dinner?? I don't have that much money!"
At first, Mo Lu felt that what he heard made sense, but he had an inexplicable sense of déjà vu. However...this should be an illusion, right?
“Yes, I’m sorry…” After hearing what the two said, Meng regained his embarrassed look and lowered his head in shame to admit his mistake.
But just as she finished her apology, she couldn't help but weakly retort: "But, but, Hoshino-chan, what if you meet someone who really needs help? You can't just ignore the people who really need help because there are bad guys, right?"
"That kind of person cannot exist, they are all bad guys!" Hoshino asserted firmly, leaving no room for ambiguity.
Mo Lu, who was just watching from the sidelines, could not agree with this statement and tried to raise an objection: "This is too extreme..."
"Shut up, outsider! Or... do you think that senior is easy to cheat? Do you also intend to cheat money from senior? "As soon as he opened his mouth, Hoshino glared at him warningly, as if he would shoot him if he dared to nod.
"How is it possible! I used to be a teacher, how could I possibly attack my students?"
"Then shut up. I'm educating my seniors. Outsiders should not interrupt."
Mo Lu's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and deep in his heart he had the urge to complain, but the atmosphere in front of him forced him to hold back, and he could only mutter in a low voice: "...This statement always feels a bit strange, right?"
“That’s what I’m saying! Why am I always scolded by Hoshino-chan even though I’m the senior…” Meng tried to muster up the courage and protested with a little grievance.
"Because the seniors never learn their lessons!" Hoshino responded with an angry expression, muttering indignantly, "And even if we lend a helping hand, those people will definitely betray us in the future."
"Hoshino-chan..."
"what?"
"It's not like that." Meng, who had always been in a weak position, showed a distressed but serious expression at this moment, as if she were a senior. She walked forward and shook her head gently, "This is not right."
"Meng, Meng Senior? No, that... isn't it... a little too close?" The approaching figure made Hoshino's face turn strange, and he subconsciously walked back to keep some distance.
But Meng approached her step by step, put her hands on her shoulders to prevent her from running away, and smiled gently, with an unprecedented seriousness in her eyes: "This is a very important matter, Hoshino-chan, listen to me carefully."
"Even so, isn't it... too close?"
Hoshino's expression, which originally gave people the impression of being very stern, suddenly became a little flustered.
Meng did not answer, but continued to speak: "When you begin to think that suspicion, violence and lies are the norm in life, it means that we are gradually losing ourselves. In this case, even if we succeed in rebuilding Abydos, it is not the Abydos we want."
