"Who was that person just now?"
After Zastin left, Sakurajima Mai looked at Lala with a hint of curiosity.
Lala smiled and explained, "His name is Zastin. He is the Captain of the Royal Guard for our Deviluke Royal Family."
"Oh, I see."
A look of understanding surfaced in Sakurajima Mai's eyes.
She didn't seem interested in probing further, and the same went for Tohru and the others.
Tohru looked at Lin and asked, "Lala's father wants to meet you, Lin. Will it be okay?"
As she spoke, she glanced at Lala.
Upon hearing Tohru's question, Akasha remained silent. Her thoughts mirrored Tohru's. She harbored a trace of worry regarding this matter.
Based on their previous chat, they all knew that Lala's father possessed immense power, capable of easily destroying a planet. Lala and Lin had formally concluded a marriage engagement ceremony not long after their first meeting; obviously, there might be some issues with that.
What if Lala's father flew into a rage and attacked Lin?
Hearing Tohru's inquiry, Sakurajima Mai's heart stirred slightly. She thought of the same problem. Thus, she looked at Lala.
"Will there be any problems?"
Confusion surfaced in Lala's eyes at this.
Hearing this, Lin looked at them and smiled. "It's fine. The existence capable of killing me hasn't been discovered in this world yet."
"Besides, I'm so outstanding. Once Lala's father sees me, he might just agree to this marriage on the spot."
"Eh..."
Hearing Lin say this, Lala finally realized Tohru and the others' concerns. She hurriedly spoke:
"So you were worried about Lin's safety."
"Rest assured. My father isn't actually someone who attacks people at random. Besides, I'm here too."
"I will protect Lin. If my father dares to hurt Lin, I promise I'll never speak to him again."
As she spoke, Lala patted her chest, wearing an expression that said, 'Leave it to me.'
Hearing Lala's words, Lin and the others couldn't help but chuckle.
As expected of a married daughter, she was like spilt water—unable to be gathered back. She was already siding with her husband so quickly.
"Alright, thank you, Lala."
Lin smiled and patted Lala's head.
"Hehe..."
Lala smiled happily, nuzzling Lin's hand like a kitten.
"Lin, Lin, I want one too."
Seeing this, Kanna blinked her big eyes and looked up at Lin expectantly.
"Okay, okay."
Lin smiled dotingly and rubbed Kanna's head as well.
Kanna narrowed her eyes, the corners of her mouth lifting slightly. A look of enjoyment appeared on her cute, chubby round face, and the tail behind her swayed gently.
After patting Kanna, Lin smiled and looked at Tohru, Akasha, and Sakurajima Mai.
"What about you guys?"
"I want one too."
Tohru revealed a look of expectation.
Akasha chuckled softly. "Little Lin, you can't favor one and neglect the other."
Seeing that Tohru and the others all chose to have one, Sakurajima Mai's eyes flickered, and her cheeks flushed slightly. "Same for me."
Witnessing this scene, Lin had no choice but to give them all a headpat.
Tohru revealed a happy smile. Her tail wagged just like Kanna's. Hmm, she looked like a little puppy.
Facing Lin's headpat, Akasha remained composed, though her smile brightened a few degrees, love radiating from her eyes.
Sakurajima Mai blushed slightly, ripples of shyness rising in her eyes. She was still somewhat unaccustomed to doing this sort of thing in front of others.
"We should head out."
Lin smiled after finishing the headpats and said, "Contact me by phone if anything comes up."
"Mhm..."
Tohru and the others nodded.
Lin checked the time; it was already eight minutes past eight. Going to school the normal way clearly wouldn't work.
Thus, using a Space Card and a Concealment Card, he and Sakurajima Mai instantly vanished from before Tohru and the others' eyes.
The next moment, they appeared in a deserted alley near Private United High School.
Relying on the slowly dissipating concealment power, the two walked out without attracting anyone's attention. It wasn't until they approached the school gate that the people around them began to notice.
Seeing Lin and Sakurajima Mai, the surrounding students were stunned.
Simply because the two standing together were a bit too dazzling. One was tall and super handsome. The other had an outstanding figure and was super beautiful. In terms of appearance alone, the two were simply a match made in heaven.
Moreover, Sakurajima Mai had the buff of super popularity, causing the surrounding people to involuntarily speculate about their relationship.
Lin and Sakurajima Mai ignored the gazes of those around them and continued walking forward on their own.
Time passed slowly. Rumors about Sakurajima Mai going to school with a super handsome boy quickly spread among the students. Especially within the male population. They were filled with envy, jealousy, and hate toward the temporarily unidentified Lin, wishing they could replace him.
In the blink of an eye, it was afternoon.
After afternoon classes ended, Lin packed his things, took his guitar, and headed to the Student Council with Kotegawa Yui. He didn't forget to say goodbye to his classmates, such as Megumi Katō and Yumiko Miura.
On the way, Lin turned his head to look at Kotegawa Yui beside him. "Kotegawa, can I ask you a question?"
"Sure, President."
Kotegawa Yui nodded gently. She looked at Lin, blinking her eyes with a trace of curiosity.
"Do you have a boyfriend?"
Concealment power was quietly released.
"Eh?!!"
Hearing Lin's question, Kotegawa Yui was stunned at first, then instantly blushed, her eyes widening involuntarily.
"President, why are you suddenly asking that? I... how could I possibly have a boyfriend? I'm a Public Morals Committee member."
"Such shameless things!"
Her face was completely red, and she stammered. Her heart was pounding.
Lin couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. "How is falling in love shameless? I think as long as two people truly love each other, there's no problem."
"Although Private United High School doesn't encourage students to date, it doesn't forbid students or Public Morals Committee members from dating either."
"So, Kotegawa, is the reason you haven't dated anyone because you don't like any of the boys around you?"
Hearing this, Kotegawa Yui blushed and retorted, "In any case, students dating and doing those things is a violation of public morals."
"Since I am a Public Morals Committee member, I should lead by example."
Lin raised his eyebrows slightly upon hearing this. "Kotegawa, hearing you say that, I feel like I made a wrong decision."
"What wrong decision?"
Kotegawa Yui was a bit confused.
Lin smiled and said, "It seems I shouldn't have asked you to be the Public Morals Committee member, Kotegawa. I should have replaced you with someone else."
"If you miss out on someone you like because of this, I'm worried you'll blame me in the future."
"How is that possible?!"
Kotegawa Yui's face turned even redder. "Anyway, I have no intention of finding a boyfriend right now. None at all."
"Don't speak so absolutely."
Lin smiled and said, "Since I made you the Public Morals Committee member, I should be responsible for this."
"Kotegawa, why don't you just let me be your boyfriend?"
"After all, I am a very responsible person."
"Eh!!!"
Kotegawa Yui's eyes widened.
Especially the phrase "let me be your boyfriend"; it caused a massive impact on her heart. It felt as if a little deer was ramming around inside her heart, wanting to jump out of her chest. She felt her cheeks burning hot.
Under the effect of the concealment power, the few students passing by paid no attention to Lin and Kotegawa Yui.
