He became a god in Japan starting with the bear disaster.

Chapter 15: They even have kids!

Lin Xiuyi recovered from the shock of what was shown in "Single".

"Shuichi, did you see something strange?"

In the study room where there were only two people, Isshiki Jin secretly observed the changes in the expression of Hayashi Xiuyi sitting opposite her, and couldn't help but ask.

Lin Xiuyi remarked with emotion, "After reading some news, I realized that so many amazing things have happened in this world."

"Did Shuichi search my news?"

Isshiki Kin looked at him with a smile.

"I guess so..." Lin Xiu scratched his head, "but I didn't find what I was looking for."

This was not a lie, after all, he really couldn't find any crime that Isshiki Kin had committed on "Single".

Are you curious why I stopped working?

Isshiki Kin rested the pen in her hand on her chin, her lips slightly turned up.

"Are you going to tell me?"

"No, at least not now."

Isshiki Kin refused, but a smile gradually appeared on her face. She then changed the subject: "However, if Shuichi can take the initiative to further develop our relationship, I might be able to tell you."

"Even if you're already friends, you can't tell?"

"No, I don't want him to know about this, even if we're friends... Let me think... This kind of thing should only be said to someone you're close to."

Yise Jin said, half-jokingly and half-frankly.

It turns out that friends are divided into "ordinary friends" and "good friends," and perhaps there's an additional level of "superficial friends" and an even higher level of "best friends."

Lin Xiu was not at all surprised by her response.

He now understood that Isshiki Jin liked to tease him, seemingly always wanting him to feel embarrassed because of her, just like she was being coquettish. Although this behavior wasn't excessive and he didn't care much, it didn't mean he had to fall for her trap.

"In that case, let's think about it further." Lin Xiuyi concluded the topic, put away his textbook, glanced at the clock on the wall, and said, "Activity class is over, let's go eat together."

"it is good."

Ishiki Kin put down her pen and happily followed Lin Xiuyi back to the classroom.

She didn't care about Lin Xiuyi's statement. Since he said he wanted to "take it in the long run," then let's take it in the long run.

……

With their own lunchboxes, they sat on the small open-air balcony outside the second-floor corridor. In front of them was the atrium between the teaching building and the laboratory building. There were few people around, and Lin Xiuyi used to often come here to have lunch.

Couka is a well-known private school, reportedly backed by a large shareholder who is keen to invest in education, resulting in a very comprehensive infrastructure.

Take this small balcony as an example. The rattan-style armchair is quite comfortable, and a parasol is placed above it. Facing outwards, one can see lush, green trees growing vigorously, and fully feel the brilliant sunlight filtering through the leaves. However, this brilliance does not bring the discomfort of high temperature and glare; instead, it is just the right amount of coolness, creating a serene and beautiful experience, much like a mountain resort.

"Ruri-sama, would you like me to go buy you a drink?"

"Asashiro-kun, have you seen the letter I sent you? Could you please reply?"

"Little Liuli, may I join you?"

……

As expected of Asahi Ruri, Isshiki Kin is welcomed by everyone in various public places, so naturally, Lin Xiuyi's interactions with her are inevitably filled with interference from external factors.

One by one, batches of people rushed to the small balcony upon hearing the news, forming a queue to meet the esteemed Yise Jin.

"I'm sorry, Shuichi and I have already finished eating. Hayaya-kun, you should go find someone else."

Isseki was both kind-hearted and extremely patient. Not only did she not chase people away (although it was probably impossible to chase them away anyway), she also talked to each of them and dealt with them.

Although she heard a gentle reply, the girl holding the lunchbox felt like she was about to vomit blood.

"Shuichi? He actually... he actually called him by his first name! Little Ruri, are you very close to this person?"

Lin Xiuyi was leaning against the railing drinking milk when she heard this and was speechless. She turned around and glanced at her.

If the relationship isn't close, can two people eat together?

Isshiki Kin also looked helpless.

"I can't accept it. What's so great about that person? I can't accept this!"

She broke down and screamed.

"Hey, if you got rejected, just leave! I'm waiting!"

Before Ishiki could answer, the people in line behind her immediately pulled her away.

—It's quite orderly, actually.

After watching this farce, Lin Xiu turned back and continued to drink her milk, enjoying the natural atmosphere.

Since Isshiki Kin herself doesn't seem to mind being harassed, there's no need for him to offer any opinion. She might even be enjoying it herself.

His gaze wandered aimlessly, finally settling on a couple sitting on a bench in the courtyard below.

Because of the leaves obscuring their faces, he couldn't see them clearly. He only noticed that they weren't wearing school uniforms, so they were probably a boy and a girl, or perhaps a couple, and they seemed to be having lunch.

"What are you looking at?"

Ishiki Kin somehow managed to escape the harassment of the crowd and leaned against the railing.

She looked at Lin Xiuyi's profile, and after a while, following his gaze, she looked down and spotted the two people on the bench.

I watched until a strong gust of wind rushed out from the gaps between the buildings, blowing away the branches and leaves that were blocking my view.

This allows those above to clearly see the actions of those below.

The woman was sweetly feeding the man with chopsticks, and they really did look like a couple. Unfortunately, their intimacy was disturbed by the strong wind.

"Hey, isn't that your homeroom teacher, Mr. Maeda?"

Isshiki Kin's attention was focused on the man's face. "Then the other one is..."

The woman, who had been facing away from them, turned around and faced the direction of the wind, looking somewhat bewildered and angry, as if she were complaining about the sudden gust of wind.

Lin Xiuyi's mind went blank for a moment when she saw her face clearly.

He recalled: if he remembered correctly, he had seen this person in the principal's office this morning...

"It's Ms. Masako, who teaches third grade."

Isshiki Kin recognized her.

Lin Xiu asked in surprise, "How do you know who it is?"

He had a bad feeling about it and quickly took a sip of milk to calm himself down.

"Because I investigated the school's situation beforehand," said Isshiki Kin, who had never met Masako in the principal's office and was therefore unaware of the current situation. "It's strange that you don't know Shuichi."

Lin Xiu was stunned.

"Because Masako Maeda is Kenpei Maeda's wife..."

Isshiki Kin found it amusing.

Lin Xiuyi stared at Maeda Masako, who was sitting with her husband, and felt a lump in his throat as he watched their intimate interaction. Masako finally noticed his gaze and slightly raised her head.

Two strangers, separated by a great distance, stared at each other.

"They've been married for 10 years and already have a child."

Isshiki Kin added with a smile.

Lin Xiuyi choked and spat out all the milk in her mouth.
