"I, we really made five million in five minutes?" Qinxiang's voice trembled a little. It was not her fault. Apart from being in debt, this was the first time she had seen so much money.

"Uh, earn? I think it's like robbing... Anyway, here are the documents."

Ya wasn't bothered by the money. She was simply repaying Abydos for his kindness; it had nothing to do with her. She dug out the account document from among the pile of bills and handed it to the teacher.

She had done what she could, and now it was time to think about her teacher and Abydos.

The Story of Abydos: Chapter 13: Heading Towards the Sunset

On an overpass, Eri was breathing heavily. She patted Mei's shoulder vigorously and said, "Captain Mei, I can't believe it! Five million in five minutes?"

"Uh...uh?"

The girl didn't seem to understand what Eri meant and just scratched her head in confusion.

"Eri means, Mei, how are you going to celebrate?" Futaba, who had been with Eri for several days, added, but Mei just shook her head after hearing Futaba's explanation.

"This money belongs to Abydos. I'm just repaying a favor. It was Abydos who took in Kannai and me these past few days."

Eri's expression froze. She looked at the girl in disbelief: "You want to give up these five million?"

Mei nodded. Eri hesitated for a moment, then finally sighed and said, "Okay, okay. You're the captain, you have the final say."

"Sorry everyone, but we can't take this money." Mei said this when she handed the bag to Hoshino.

 "Huh?! Why, Hoshino-senpai?"

“Because this is a crime.”

"How can you call this a crime? This money is our hard-earned money! It just ended up in a black market bank!"

"Besides, if we leave the money there, it will eventually be used by the bad guys to buy weapons and ammunition! What's wrong with taking the bad guys' money back?!"

Qinxiang has the most work experience in Abydos. No one understands better than her how much time it would take to save up the five million by relying solely on part-time jobs. Her words made everyone present hesitate for a moment.

[Teacher, do you have any comments?]

Mei glanced at the teacher, only to find him with his arms folded across his chest, watching the girls' argument with great interest.

"That's right. What classmate Mao Mao said makes a lot of sense. Instead of letting the money be used for destruction, wouldn't it be nice if we divided it up among a few of us and had some fun?" Eri, who was really reluctant to part with the money, suggested this.

Even Kanna, who was usually only interested in fishing, had a glint of desire in her eyes. Five million, how many sets of high-end fishing gear could she buy?

The only person who was not affected at the scene was probably Hifumi, the rich girl from Trinity who had never lacked money since childhood. She seemed to have no idea about the five million.

Hoshino stroked his chin and asked, "Hmm... you're right... Baizi sister, what do you think?"

"Anyway, no matter what my opinion is, Hoshino-senpai will be against Serika."

"As expected of Baizi's sister, you understand me the best~" After saying this, Hoshino changed her previous lazy look and looked serious. She grabbed the accounting document from the teacher's hand and showed it to everyone, "What we need is just the document, not the money.

"Because the money this time belongs to bad guys, it's okay. But what about next time? And the time after that?"

Everyone fell silent, but for Eri, a veteran who had been a mercenary for over a year, it was definitely nothing. But Mei signaled her with her eyes not to interrupt Hoshino.

"If we gradually get used to this practice...it will become less and less of a big deal to do this in the future.

"If we continue like this, one day when we're in trouble... we'll say, 'It can't be helped,' and then do something we shouldn't do.

"Hey~ As an uncle, I don't want my cute juniors to become like that.

“And what was the point of saving Abydos in that way?

"So, leave this bag here. Just take the documents we need. This is an order from President Abydos."

After Hoshino finished speaking, seeing that no one objected, Mei zipped up the bag and placed it in a corner next to the overpass. During the conversation, Eri took the time to whisper to Mei, "Captain Mei, where did you get to know this stubborn guy?"

Well, it is indeed too difficult for a seasoned mercenary to understand the president of Abydos.

After receiving the warning from Mei's eyes, Eri had no choice but to surrender. It seemed that her captain was as stubborn as the president of Abydos.

Kanna and Futaba didn't say anything, but just said "what a pity" in their hearts and continued to immerse themselves in the joy of reuniting with their friends.

"Ah! Everyone, pay attention! Someone is approaching you!"

Ayane's warning came from the earphone, making Mei think that the pursuers were catching up again, but she soon heard Ayane's next words as she picked up her pistol.

"Let me see, they don't seem hostile... Eh? Is it Lu from the convenience store?!"

Under the setting sun, a red-haired girl with a sniper rifle on her back was running towards them. Even though she was out of breath, she was still shouting, "Haa, haa... Wait, wait for me!"

Everyone looked at each other, some wore masks, some wore hoods, in short, no one wanted to be recognized by Alu.

"Ah, don't be nervous. I, I'm not your enemy." After finally running to the overpass, Alu saw that everyone looked like they were facing a great enemy, and hurriedly explained, "Uh, it's just...it's actually not a big deal...

"I saw you guys at the bank... You robbed the bank in five minutes and made a complete escape without a second thought. These days, you're a rare sight to find lawless thugs like me!

 "I'm truly shocked. I never thought there would be such audacious people in this day and age... It's truly touching!"

[You haven't been in the black market long enough, have you?]

The corners of her mouth twitched, and she complained in her heart, "What kind of weird things are there in the black market? Seeing a bank robbery makes a fuss? Ya wondered if Alu ran away from Gehenna just to play house."

Ah Lu couldn't hear the girl's complaints. She was just immersed in her own imagination: "So I have to work hard too! I want to become a lawless outlaw who is not bound by laws and disciplines and has a truly free life!"

"Ah, ah?" Hifumi made a stunned sound. Not only her, but no one present could understand Alu's train of thought.

"So, please tell me your names! Organizations, factions, societies, whatever. It doesn't matter if it's not your real name... I will deeply engrave your current heroic figures in my heart!"

It seems like Alu has come up with some incredible things on her own.

"Well, I understand what you mean!" Nomiya, wearing a green hood, said, "We are the legendary... Masked Swimsuit Group!"

"puff!"

Ya couldn't hold it back, but it was clear that Alu didn't care: "Oh my god! That's a cool name! It's so cool!"

Hoshino, the fun-loving person who loves to stir up trouble, came online. Seeing Alu's expression, she decided to continue to deceive him: "Hey~ My formal attire is supposed to be a swimsuit and a hood, but now that the situation is urgent, I'm just wearing the hood for now."

"That's right! We're usually idol singers, but at night we transform into righteous knights who punish the bad guys! And Christina is me~"

"Yes! 'An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth! Ruthless and shameless, proud and aloof, treading our path is more dangerous than treading the demonic realm.' That's our motto!"

Poor Alu, she was so confused by Hoshino and Nomiya that she lost her way.

"Then we'll meet again if we're lucky~" Finally, while Alu was lost in her imagination, Hoshino found the right moment to wave to Alu, who was full of admiration, and then asked everyone to leave.

"Let's go, heading towards the sunset!"

The Story of Abydos: Chapter 14: Agreement? Sincerity?

When the other people in the convenience house caught up with Alu, they only saw Alu looking like a fangirl.

Kayoko held her forehead and sighed, saying, "That's why if you are nearsighted, you must wear glasses and never try to show off."

"Uh, that... what should I do with this bag? It seems to be left by those people..." Chunxiang found the big bag that Mei had left on the side of the overpass, "Ah, it's so heavy."

"Could this be... a gift left for me by the Masked Swimsuit Group?"

Alu, who was immersed in her own fantasy, finally came back to her senses. She reached out and unzipped her pants.

Bundles of thousand-yuan bills appeared in the four people's sight. At that moment, Alu thought she had not woken up yet.

"Mu, Mu Yue, pinch me, am I dreaming?"

[Huh? Why don't I feel anything? Am I really dreaming?]

"Stop! Mutsuki, let go! You're pinching me!"

"Huh? Ah! Sorry, Kayoko-chan."

"Will we no longer have to go hungry in the future?"

[Great! I'm not dreaming.]

Abydos, inside the Countermeasures Committee's activity room.

The teacher and everyone repeatedly confirmed the contents of the accounts, which recorded in detail the whereabouts of every item of Abydos's debts, most of which were used to hire militants.

"Okay, with this evidence I can report it to the Federal Student Union." The teacher put the document into a file bag and asked Arona to scan an electronic copy for backup.

"Well, thank you all so much for today. I don't know the specifics, but there are reports of the Caesar Group colluding with criminals to attack legitimate schools. I'll report all this to the tea party when I get back." Hifumi also put away a copy. She had been away from school for too long and needed to get back quickly. However, seeing how dilapidated Abydos Academy was, "I'll also report on the current situation in Abydos."

"Actually, everyone at the tea party knows about it, right?"

Hoshino's voice startled Hifumi. Did the Tea Club know about Abydos's situation? But if they knew, why didn't they come to help Abydos? Hifumi thought Hoshino was making another joke she couldn't understand.

However, Hoshino was so experienced that he could see what Hifumi was thinking at a glance. After all, Hifumi's innocent look was very similar to that of her predecessor.

"It's unlikely that the leadership doesn't even know about this. After all, the intelligence department doesn't just do their jobs for free.

"The world isn't as beautiful as everyone imagines. We appreciate Hifumi-chan's kindness, but even if you report this to the tea party, it won't lead to any better solutions. Instead, it will only make us more confused.

"You see, Abydos is facing closure, so we don't have the ability to deal with any actions of large academies like Trinity or Gehenna. Do you understand what I mean?"

After saying this, Hoshino spread his hands, indicating that he was powerless. Hifumi was silent. She had indeed never imagined such a situation, or rather, such a situation did not exist in her mind at all.

"Wow...it's really complicated. Anyway, although the road ahead may be difficult, I wish you all good luck. I will cheer you all on." Hifumi stood at the door and waved to everyone, "Well, I look forward to seeing you next time!"

Mei watched Hifumi leave and nodded to the teacher: "Teacher, and everyone in Abydos, thank you for your time."

As she spoke, she handed over two sets of Abydos school uniforms. At this moment, she had changed into the outfit of a bad girl.

"Ayane, thank you for lending me your school uniform. Although I'm reluctant to leave everyone, I have to leave."

"Xiaoya, where are you going?"

Where to go? The teacher's question really stumped Ya. With no student status and having offended the Caesar Group, if she ran away, she would probably end up living under a bridge like Eri before.

"If you don't know where to go." The teacher took out four sheets of printed paper and said, "This is Xia Lai's official employment agreement. Would you consider it?"

Such a familiar scene. Looking at the paper in her hand, Ya couldn't help but recall the night when she was framed by Caesar.

"Oh my! Teacher, have you even prepared this? It turns out this was all planned. Little Miss Ya, be careful not to get kidnapped by some weird adult."

"Hoshino!"

Hoshino and the teacher were joking around her, but Mei didn't pay any attention to them. Having learned from her previous experience, she carefully read all the contents of the agreement.

It is said to be an employment agreement, but there are no specific working hours. The job content is only to assist the teacher in solving problems when needed, and he can even be assigned to live in a dormitory in Xialai.

Apart from the fact that there is no salary, it is not an exaggeration to say that I am being supported by the teacher.

Along with the agreement, there were two membership cards, which seemed to be prepared for Kanna and Futaba. Mei thought for a while and finally said, "Teacher, can you tell me why you are helping me to this extent? After all, I am just a bad girl you can see everywhere. The only difference may be that I know Xiaokong, but what does this mean to you?"

The teacher sat on the chair. He knew that simply fooling her was not realistic. He could see confusion and uneasiness in the girl's eyes. Ya still had too little trust in him.

"It doesn't matter whether Xiaoya is a bad girl or not. What matters is that Xiaoya is my student. I am an adult, and it is my responsibility to provide a sheltered environment for the child." The teacher replied. From the first time he saw the girl covered in scars and fainted on the street, he made up his mind to protect her. It had nothing to do with interests, but was simply his personal sympathy and responsibility as an adult.

"Students? Are all the bad girls in Kivotos your students?"

"Yes, they all are."

"So, you protected me and my teammates, but there are thousands of delinquents in Kivotos, living on the streets as well. Even the Federal Student Union can't control them, so how can you protect them all?"

The question raised by Ya made the teacher silent. He had been thinking about this problem since he took over as Xia Lei. His energy was limited and he could not take care of all the students. As Ya said, he could protect Ya and several of her teammates, but what about facing so many homeless bad guys in Kivotos?

Although teachers have authority over the Federal Student Union, the resources of the Federal Student Union are limited, and it is impossible for them to mobilize the resources of the Federal Student Union on a large scale to help all students.

So the teacher's answer was: "I can't protect all of them. I can only protect the ones I see and help them as much as I can. And Xiaoya, I see you."

Ya sighed. This answer could convince her but not satisfy her. However, her head was a mess as to these questions.

"Okay, teacher. I will join Xia Lai, but I can only represent my own opinion. My team members have to make their own decisions."

The Story of Abydos: Chapter 15: Black-Braised Eggs? When did they come?

Alu is feeling very bad now. After returning to the convenience store's luxurious office last night, Kayoko and Mutsuki told her a cruel truth.

"Alu-chan, didn't you recognize them? Those masked swimsuit group are the ones from Abydos."

Alu can still recall how she felt at that time. Ah, next she is going to destroy the idol in her heart with the bomb that Chunxiang just planted.

[This kind of thing, a tonic!]

"Why are you so gloomy again? Why not just not take this kind of commission in the first place?"

Mutsuki's words brought Alu back to reality. It seemed so. If she had just stayed in Gehenna from the beginning, wouldn't this have happened?

"If you feel the burden is too heavy, you can put everything aside and return to Gehenna, President."

Kayoko suggested this. As for the Disciplinary Committee, Alu believed that Kayoko had the ability to deal with them, just like Kayoko helped Alu register the Convenience House 68 club even though it violated school regulations. Dealing with the Disciplinary Committee would just be a little more troublesome.
