Chapter 66

"Oh!"

So it was this elementary school student from *Oregairu*! Meeting her by chance today was truly unexpected.

"Your name."

"Lin Ye, a high school student at Sobu High."

"How can I be like you?"

"When you grow up a bit more, you'll be like me. A girl your age didn't cry when facing a Tosa dog; you'll be very brave in the future. Really, I'm not comforting you; you are really very brave."

At least when he was in elementary school, his courage would falter when facing the growls of large dogs.

"Time is about up, I'll be going first. Goodbye."

"Thank you."

After he walked a few steps, Tsurumi Rumi's words of thanks came. Lin Ye smiled and waved goodbye.

Tsurumi Rumi returned home and took off her shoes.

"There's a new teacher in class next week."

"I wonder how long this teacher will be able to stay."

In the half month that Tsurumi Rumi had been attending Chiba Elementary School, two teachers had already resigned in succession, both because they had received huge shocks, encountered terrible things, and developed mental problems.

There were rumors circulating among the students, but no one knew if they were true or false.

……

……

Because of the unlocking of the backpack slots, Lin Ye had an extra idea.

"Before, there was no place to put weapons and ammunition, and carrying them had the risk of exposure, so I didn't consider it for the time being. But now, the unlocking of the backpack slots has solved these two problems."

It solved both the storage problem and the carrying problem. As long as there was a need, he could use them at any time.

"Then... let's do it!"

Lin Ye looked at the military base in the distance.

"I'm just borrowing them. Borrow and return; I'll return them to you with interest in the future."

If necessary, he could dump them on the territory of the Atlantic Federation in quantities a thousand times over.

Having made the decision, Lin Ye took action.

In front of time-stop, maximum infiltration was not a problem at all.

The hardest part was those locked doors.

He didn't have the superpower to walk through walls and could only rely on some small tricks to successfully enter.

"Oh!"

The air was filled with the scent of metal and oil.

"Guns and ammunition mysteriously disappearing will be discovered sooner or later."

Therefore,

Lin Ye left a card on which was written 'Kaitou Kid was here'.

Perfect.

Everything ended smoothly.

Lin Ye returned to his apartment, looked at the shiny pistol in his hand, and touched it lightly with his right hand.

"I can go to a specialized shooting range to learn, or I can find a deserted wilderness and practice by self-studying through online video tutorials."

Having someone teach is the best.

After all, shooting a gun isn't something you can learn in a day or two. Having a professional teach him would allow him to master it faster.

However, the role of guns in Strange instances shouldn't be particularly large.

Its existence's focus is on deterring people.

"Mastering one more skill is never a loss."

Checking the time,

Lin Ye opened his computer and searched for relevant teaching videos and precautions to ensure he could use it correctly.

Sunday, April 14th, 10:45 AM,

Lin Ye arrived at the agreed-upon location.

Today he was in a gray casual outfit. The mall on the weekend was livelier than on weekdays. Pedestrians came and went, and from time to time, people handing out flyers would walk by and hand them to Lin Ye.

Lin Ye refused with a smile.

Five or six minutes later,

A series of footsteps approached from far to near. A young girl wearing a cute pink dress walked toward him. In the short distance of twenty meters, she attracted the gaze of many men on both sides of the road.

Beautiful girls always attract men's eyes.

"Sorry, I'm late, Lin Jun."

Nanase Ren, who had hurried to Lin Ye's front, had slightly disordered breathing.

Lin Ye looked at the girl and realized that Nanase Ren had dressed up carefully before going out today.

She took this 'date' very seriously.

……

……

It should count as a date, right!

Lin Ye couldn't help but think.

"Ren-san, you look very beautiful."

"Thank you."

"Many men were captivated by you."

Lin Ye pointed to the many male passersby who were still casting glances and teased with a smile.

"That's... not the case at all. Everyone isn't looking at me."

But the blush on her face indicated her inner shyness.

"It's lunchtime, let's go eat lunch first!"

"Okay."

Nanase Ren had no objections.

Today, she would just follow Lin Ye's arrangements.

Entering the mall, the interior was exquisitely decorated. Under the bright lights, the large mall appeared clean and tidy. Guests in twos and threes were picking out items in shops, and many were couples holding hands walking and shopping together.

The combination of Lin Ye and Nanase Ren also attracted the attention of many people.

They felt like a couple, but they weren't holding hands, which made everyone curious about their relationship.

And Nanase Ren kept her head slightly lowered, following by Lin Ye's side. She didn't dare to look around because the gazes of passersby would stimulate her sensitive sense of shame.

Taking the elevator to the third floor,

at the entrance of the restaurants, many waiters were holding flyers, greeting and welcoming guests.

"Ren-san, is there anything you want to eat?"

Nanase Ren shook her head.

"You choose."

"How about Chinese cuisine?"

"Okay, I actually quite like it."

A few minutes later,

the two arrived at their destination, a Chinese restaurant.

Lin Ye wanted to try what Chinese cuisine in this other world's Japan would taste like.

"Welcome."

Lin Ye began to order. Nanase Ren ordered a portion of Mapo Tofu, while Lin Ye ordered shredded potatoes with vinegar and chili, red-braised pork, and a portion of golden soup sauerkraut fish.

The food was served very quickly.

In less than fifteen minutes, the dishes were all served.
