Chapter 26

"Everything's fine, Teacher Kukawa, really, look... cough cough..." Lin Yifan patted his chest but couldn't help coughing a few times.

"Patients should lie down and not move around." Kukawa Seika, unusually firm, pressed Lin Yifan back onto the bed.

At this moment, she stood up, her index finger touching her chin, looking puzzled: "Hmm? Should I cook some porridge for the patient? Where's the rice... Oh, where's my pot?"

Seeing the confused Kukawa Seika, Lin Yifan's eyes twitched as he turned his gaze to the room.

What is this? Kukawa Seika's home must be using the bedroom as a kitchen and the kitchen as a bathroom! Things were scattered everywhere, disposable food boxes and chopsticks piled up on the table, a mess.

As Kukawa Seika, who was wandering around the room, brought out the rice cooker from the bathroom, Lin Yifan couldn't sit still anymore. If this ditz poured shampoo into the rice, he would poison himself.

"Stop! Teacher Kukawa, what did you put in the pot?" Lin Yifan pointed at the rice cooker, unable to remain calm.

Kukawa Seika rubbed the back of her head, her face long and sad: "Because... I couldn't find any rice, so I put yesterday's leftover noodles in to heat them up..."

"Cough, leftover noodles should go in the microwave..."

At this moment, Kukawa finally looked enlightened: "Oh, Xiao Lin, you're so smart!"

Lin Yifan was stunned for a long time, feeling that this naturally ditz teacher was from a completely different world. He was defeated.

"Let me do it, Teacher Kukawa. You just clean up the table."

Lin Yifan took the rice cooker from the ditz's hand, took out the cold noodles, and started rummaging through Kukawa's kitchen. After a long search, he finally found a rice container in a corner.

He put the rice in to cook, but when he opened the fridge, it was cold and empty, with only a few eggs and some green onions.

Looking back at the pile of food boxes on the table, it seemed this ditz couldn't cook.

Lin Yifan patiently waited for the rice to cook, making a simple fried rice. He pitifully picked out some meat from the cold noodles, otherwise it would be unpalatable.

"Mm! It smells good, Xiao Lin's fried rice looks delicious, I'm hungry!"

Kukawa Seika stared at Lin Yifan with her big eyes, standing still.

Lin Yifan sighed, not sure whether to be relieved or to cry.

Relieved to meet a naturally ditz teacher like Kukawa Seika, who wouldn't care about his background or identity. If it were someone else, they would have dragged him to the police station immediately.

Probably... her intelligence was sucked into her chest...

He divided the fried rice into two plates, carried them to the table, and Kukawa Seika followed behind, sniffing: "Is it not time to eat yet? I'm hungry."

Pulling out a chair and sitting down, Lin Yifan held his head in his hands and sighed painfully: "It's time to eat."

Seeing the naturally ditz teacher finally eating, Lin Yifan's mood calmed down a bit.

First, confirm the time!

Glancing at the calendar on the wall, it showed April 3rd. In Japan, the first semester of middle school usually starts on April 1st. Combined with the blooming cherry blossoms outside, Lin Yifan quickly analyzed the situation.

In the plot, the zombie virus outbreak happened during the cherry blossom season, so the outbreak shouldn't be too far away.

Even without the four loopers causing trouble, he didn't have enough time to deceive the girls. Since he didn't have enough time, his goal had to be clear—pick the best!

Kukawa Seika, though not very combat-capable, could be useful as a doctor in the prison.

But Lin Yifan already had a clear goal in mind—Sakizoe Rei, the kendo club captain.

This high school senior, though only seventeen, had a mature appearance and explosive combat skills, making it hard to underestimate her.

If he really brought her back to the prison, just giving Sakizoe Rei a wooden sword would be enough to make the prisoners cry and beg for mercy.

With limited time, he had to start with the most combat-capable.

"Finished!"

Kukawa Seika finished a plate of fried rice, leaned back in her chair, and patted her slightly protruding belly, looking satisfied.

Lin Yifan put down his chopsticks and pointed at Kukawa Seika, who had a poor eating manner and rice stuck on her face: "Rice, on your face."

"Eh?" Kukawa Seika, with her ditz disease, tilted her head.

Sighing helplessly, Lin Yifan extended his index finger to scrape the rice off her cheek and held it in front of her: "Rice."

"Oh, wasting is bad." Kukawa Seika said, then opened her mouth and sucked it in.

Lin Yifan's eyes widened as he slowly pulled his finger out of her red lips, not knowing what to do for a moment.

After finishing the rice, Kukawa Seika suddenly stood up: "Yoisho! I've decided, I'll wash the dishes today!"

Lin Yifan, still dazed, chuckled a few times, realizing this ditz usually didn't wash dishes.

When the clumsy Kukawa Seika tried to clear the table...

Ding dong.

The doorbell rang, and Lin Yifan, who had been relaxed, immediately tensed up, ran to the bedroom, and grabbed the P90.

Ding dong ding dong ding dong...

The doorbell rang wildly, clearly the person outside was getting impatient.

Lin Yifan looked at Kukawa Seika and whispered: "Ask who it is."

"Who is it?"

"It's me, Minami Kaori! Hurry up, open the door!"

Minami Kaori?

A wheat-colored senior, Kukawa Seika's friend, Minami Kaori, flashed in Lin Yifan's mind.

County police, special assault team inspector, a highly combat-capable woman. But she was just a supporting character, appearing only in the later stages. He didn't expect to meet her now.

Lin Yifan made a gesture for Kukawa Seika to be quiet, threw his equipment under her bed, and hid in her closet.

However, as soon as he hid in the closet, Lin Yifan regretted it.

Although it was dark and he couldn't see anything, the small space was filled with Kukawa Seika's scent, a special fragrance with a hint of medicine.

After seeing Lin Yifan hide, Kukawa Seika ran to open the door.

Minami Kaori, with a cold expression, scanned the room, looking like she was catching someone in the act.

"Why did it take so long to open the door?"

Kukawa Seika, who couldn't lie, stuttered and looked guilty.

Minami Kaori pushed Kukawa Seika aside with her shoulder and started searching, while talking to her: "There was a gunfight where you got out of the car. Nine police officers died, and three were seriously injured."

"Ah! That's scary, those people..." Kukawa Seika exclaimed, covering her mouth to avoid saying too much.

Minami Kaori didn't pay much attention, as her friend was always this silly.

"I just stopped by to tell you. This area isn't safe recently. The group has escaped from the police, and they seem to be experienced criminals with strong anti-tracking skills."

While saying this, Minami Kaori was distracted, searching the room.

Lin Yifan, hiding in the closet, wasn't surprised that the bald, muscular man had escaped. They weren't stupid to open fire on the street; they must have had a way to escape.

Kukawa Seika, feeling uncomfortable, laughed dryly as her friend Minami Kaori searched the room, looking for something.

"Ah... Is there anything else?"

Minami Kaori's gaze stopped at the table, where two unwashed plates were, and her eyes narrowed: "There's nothing else, but I found something interesting."

"No... no!" Kukawa Seika waved her hands, her chest heaving.

Minami Kaori's smile grew wider, walked to the trash can, and saw the eggshells and greasy kitchen utensils, indicating someone had cooked recently.

"Seika, when did you learn to make fried rice?"

"Eh... I..." Kukawa Seika was speechless, not knowing how to explain.

At this moment, Minami Kaori held her down and walked to the closet, forcefully opening it!

Sunlight flooded in, and Lin Yifan, who had been lying in a pile of undergarments, slightly lifted his eyelids. He had dozed off in the fragrant place.

With a bad omen on his head, Lin Yifan, still dazed, stared at Minami Kaori for a moment.

"Come out!" Minami Kaori grabbed Lin Yifan's collar and pulled him out.

Lin Yifan, just waking up, was secretly shocked by Minami Kaori's strength, which was enough to lift him.

Did Minami Kaori think he was involved in the gunfight and came to arrest him?

Holding Lin Yifan, Minami Kaori examined him closely, her eyes narrowing: "How long have you been dating?"

"Dating?"

"Yes! I'm asking you, when did you start dating my friend? Are you local? What's your job, age, address..."

Minami Kaori fired a series of questions, while Kukawa Seika just smiled bitterly and waved her hands: "It's not what you think..."

"Oh? What do you think? Eh, I didn't realize you're at the age to get married. Can you support my friend as a full-time housewife?"

Lin Yifan, bombarded with questions, gradually calmed down. A misunderstanding? Better, to avoid being noticed by this policewoman.

"Yes, we've been secretly dating, but... I don't have a job yet."

Kukawa Seika, standing beside him, was shocked by Lin Yifan's words but closed her mouth when he gave her a subtle look.

Minami Kaori's face darkened, and she coldly snorted: "Ha? No job? Don't tell me you're a freeloader living off your parents?"

"Kaori! That's too much, don't say that! He's a student!" Kukawa Seika finally couldn't hold back and pulled her friend aside.

For a moment, Minami Kaori was completely stunned, staring at her 27-year-old friend and the relatively young Lin Yifan.

"He? A high school student? I don't think so!"
