Chapter 27

Nanrikka didn't believe it, and Lin Yifan believed it even less.

Lin Yifan indeed didn't look like a high school student; he was a bit more mature. However, there was nothing he could do; the system had given him this student setting.

Actually, Lin Yifan thought the system was quite fair. If it had given him a teacher setting, this... he wouldn't even understand Japanese!

The tomboy Nanrikka loosened Lin Yifan's collar, and sweat beads appeared on her usually cold face. She pointed at Lin Yifan and Kikuchi Shizuka: "This... is a teacher-student romance... right!"

"No... no," Kikuchi Shizuka waved her hands, her face twisted, not knowing what to say.

But Lin Yifan gave her a "please" look, and to avoid being suspected, he had to pretend.

At this moment, Nanrikka grabbed Kikuchi Shizuka and pulled her to a corner, lowering her voice: "Do you know, this is illegal!"

"But... I..." Kikuchi Shizuka pouted, not knowing how to explain.

Nanrikka, covering her forehead, was in deep thought for a long time. She walked back and forth in the room a few times and then returned to Kikuchi Shizuka: "Even if you're desperate to get married, you can't target a high school student! Forget it, at least you're just the school nurse, not a teacher, but be careful. If the school finds out, you'll be in big trouble!"

"I..."

Nanrikka didn't give Kikuchi Shizuka a chance to speak, just kept muttering to herself, like a mother about to marry off her daughter.

At this moment, Nanrikka's phone rang. She immediately took out her flip phone and answered: "Hello? It's me, yes, I know, okay! Got it, I'm on my way."

The decisive Nanrikka hung up, put on a serious face, and said: "I received a message, they found the group responsible for the shooting. I have to go. You two... take care! Don't cause any deaths!"

Nanrikka pushed open the door and left.

The phrase "cause any deaths" made Kikuchi Shizuka very awkward. This friend of hers was really straightforward and direct.

"Ugh! This guy, really!" Although Kikuchi Shizuka said this, there was no anger on her face.

On the other side, Lin Yifan, seeing that the troublesome Nanrikka had finally left, wiped the sweat from his forehead and sighed in relief: "Phew, it seems she cares about you a lot."

"Of course! I'm the only best friend of Nanrikka, the only one! Hehe, the teacher's friend is amazing, right." Kikuchi Shizuka puffed out her chest, which jiggled, and boasted about her special police friend to Lin Yifan.

But calling that tomboy "Nanrikka" would probably make her explode if she heard it.

At this moment, Kikuchi Shizuka's index finger touched her chin, and she looked puzzled: "Almost forgot, I need to wash the dishes and clean up."

"I'll do it. I'm afraid if I leave it to you..." Lin Yifan felt that if he left it to Kikuchi Shizuka, the living room might become even worse, possibly turning into a garbage dump. After all, the stack of lunch boxes in the corner hadn't been cleaned up at all.

Kikuchi Shizuka scratched the back of her head and laughed foolishly: "Hehe, the teacher is clumsy and forgetful, always forgetting things. Nanrikka always asks me how I became the school nurse being so clumsy."

"Of course, I'm not doing this for free. There's something... I want to talk to Teacher Kikuchi about."

"Sure, what is it? Leave it to me!" Kikuchi Shizuka patted her chest, looking very confident.

Lin Yifan curled his lip, knowing that this airhead would agree without thinking.

"I... I'm out of money. I've been having conflicts with my family recently, and I was evicted from my place because I couldn't pay the rent." Lin Yifan started to act pitiful, lowering his head.

Kikuchi Shizuka looked shocked, covering her mouth: "How can this be? That landlord is so mean. Little Lin must be having a hard time, coming to Japan from across the sea to study."

A small hand patted Lin Yifan's head, gently stroking it.

Lin Yifan, with his head down, was surprised that Kikuchi Shizuka agreed so quickly.

"Really?"

"Of course, you're a student at my school. When a student is in trouble, the teacher should help. But not for too long, right? If you stay too long, it will be a problem for me. If the school finds out, there will be rumors." Kikuchi Shizuka, though agreeing, didn't want Lin Yifan to stay indefinitely.

Lin Yifan glanced at the calendar, unsure when the virus would break out, but it shouldn't be far off.

"Yes! I'll talk to my family and won't trouble the teacher for too long."

Kikuchi Shizuka stroked Lin Yifan's head and smiled: "Very good, very good. Be a good boy and don't argue with your parents."

Hearing this, even the thick-skinned Lin Yifan blushed, feeling like the airhead was treating him like a child.

After the deal was made, Lin Yifan helped Kikuchi Shizuka clean up the entire house. However, what made Lin Yifan cringe was that the pile of garbage included some undergarments, which hadn't been washed for days.

There was nothing he could do. Since he had promised to help Kikuchi Shizuka clean the house, he had to wash her clothes as well. This messy Kikuchi Shizuka was truly unbearable.

Kikuchi Shizuka, who had just come out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel, didn't mind that Lin Yifan was holding her undergarments. She lay on the sofa, legs crossed, and watched Lin Yifan clean the house with a satisfied look.

"Why didn't I think of having someone help me clean? Yes! From now on, Little Lin will come to help the teacher clean the house every week, okay?"

Lin Yifan, who was washing Kikuchi Shizuka's clothes, had a black line on his forehead. This airhead didn't mind him washing her undergarments and even wanted him to come every week.

Especially since she was so relaxed, lying on the sofa in just a towel.

Lin Yifan decided to ignore everything, thinking, "Out of sight, out of mind. All is void."

Thus, Lin Yifan spent the first night in Kikuchi Shizuka's house, a night without zombies.

The next morning, Lin Yifan had panda eyes from lack of sleep. Don't ask why!

This airhead woke Lin Yifan up in the middle of the night, saying she was hungry and asking him to cook a bowl of noodles with an egg for her.

After eating, she said she was too full to sleep and asked Lin Yifan to watch late-night anime with her, of course, very innocent anime.

They stayed up until 3 a.m., and she still couldn't sleep, so they watched a horror movie. After the horror movie, Kikuchi Shizuka was scared half to death and insisted that Lin Yifan stay with her and comfort her to sleep.

Finally, after getting Kikuchi Shizuka to sleep, she woke up at 4:30 a.m., saying she was scared.

Thus, Lin Yifan couldn't sleep all night, watching the beauty in pajamas snore, feeling completely exhausted.

Kikuchi Shizuka really treated Lin Yifan like a servant.

Leaning against Kikuchi Shizuka's bed, Lin Yifan curled up and half-closed his eyes, managing to rest for only an hour or so.

Ding! Ding!

The alarm clock rang, waking Lin Yifan, who had just closed his eyes.

Kikuchi Shizuka, still half-asleep, swatted the annoying alarm clock, which hit Lin Yifan on the forehead, fully waking him up.

"Ouch!" Holding his head, Lin Yifan, who was still very sleepy, was now wide awake.

Kikuchi Shizuka, lying on the bed, opened her eyes slightly and said, still half-asleep: "Little Lin, it's time to go to school. Teacher... um, let me sleep a bit more..."

Lin Yifan looked at Kikuchi Shizuka with a bitter smile. As a school nurse who occasionally taught biology, she wasn't usually very busy, so it didn't matter if she went early or late.

"By the way, Teacher Kikuchi, I don't know the way around here. Is the school far from here?"

Kikuchi Shizuka, still half-asleep, curled up and covered her head with a pillow, pointing north with her finger.

Seeing this, Lin Yifan could only smile bitterly. This airhead was so energetic at night but turned into a lazy cat during the day.

Lin Yifan took out the military backpack, put the P90 inside, and treated it as a school bag. The military-style "school bag" was noticeable but wouldn't raise suspicion.

Since he didn't know when the four other players would appear and didn't want to waste time looking for them, he had to carry the gun with him at all times, just in case.

At this point, Lin Yifan had a clear goal: to target the strongest female character in the game, the kendo club captain, Tojo Saya.

Lin Yifan chose Tojo Saya first because of her combat ability, but there were deeper reasons.

The other two female characters had low combat abilities. One was Komuro Rei from the gun club, the female lead of "High School of the Dead."

The other was Takagi Saeko, whose entire family were Japanese right-wing extremists. She was a tsundere and a right-wing extremist, which Lin Yifan didn't like.

Most importantly, both of these girls already had crushes. If Lin Yifan remembered correctly, Komuro Rei was dating someone, and Takagi Saeko liked the weak protagonist, Komuro Takashi.

The only one who wasn't dating anyone and had no crush was the airhead Kikuchi Shizuka, who was lying behind him, and the strong Tojo Saya.

"Fortunately, I have some knowledge of this world, but that's not important. I just need to go to the kendo club and find Tojo Saya."

Lin Yifan put on his backpack, stuffed the bulletproof vest and other items inside, and opened the door of Kikuchi Shizuka's house, riding the carbon-iron motorcycle.

Riding the unlicensed motorcycle, Lin Yifan wasn't afraid of being caught by the police.

Driving without a license was a right of male high school students. Even if he was chased, he could just drop the motorcycle and run. A phone call would bring the motorcycle back to him, which was why the maid leader said that vehicles were important equipment for players.

The motorcycle sped through the narrow streets, and Lin Yifan could see the familiar building in the distance, his school—Fujimi Academy High School.
