The next morning.
Splash… Kochou Shinobu, who hadn't slept all night, endured the pain, put on her clothes, and came to the window.
She pulled open the curtains and shouted loudly at Zhong Chen, who was pretending to be fast asleep in bed:
"Bad guy, it's time to get up!"
"Mmm mmm mmm, I can't get up, I just fell asleep."
When Zhong Chen heard Kochou Shinobu's voice, he not only didn't get up but also covered his head with the blanket.
"Swish!"
Rip… "Get up!!!"
Zhong Chen looked at the blanket, which had been split in two on his body, and felt the blade resting on his neck.
He immediately put his hands up in a gesture of surrender.
"Hey, hey, hey! Be careful, are you trying to murder your husband?"
"Who told you not to get up? We have to go to school today!"
When Zhong Chen heard Kochou Shinobu's words, he revealed a mysterious smile.
"The vast horizon is my love…"
Hearing his phone ring, Zhong Chen reached out and pushed the blade on his neck aside, then put it on speaker and said:
"Hello!"
The voice of the grade director came from the receiver:
"Is that Teacher Zhong Chen? The school was robbed last night by an unknown group, and all the desks, chairs, and benches in the entire school were stolen."
"So the principal has decided to give everyone a day off, and classes will resume once new desks and chairs are in place."
Zhong Chen suppressed the urge to laugh, feigning seriousness as he replied:
"Okay, I understand!"
"Then I won't disturb Teacher Zhong Chen!"
"Mm!"
Beep… As the call ended, Kochou Shinobu looked at Zhong Chen with an incredulous expression.
"Bad guy, you're not going to tell me this has something to do with you, are you?"
"Bingo! You got it right, here's your prize!"
After speaking, Zhong Chen grabbed Kochou Shinobu's small hand and pulled her into his arms.
Then, with a wave of his right hand, the curtains closed by themselves.
"Bad guy, it's daytime!"
"With the curtains closed, day and night are the same!"
"I'm still in pain!"
"Don't worry, I'll heal you!"
"No… Mmm mmm mmm…"
… "Has the Security Force been notified? Have the school's surveillance cameras been checked?"
At this moment, the principal of Sakugawa Middle School was pacing back and forth in his desk-and-chair-less office, looking furious.
"They've been notified, and the school's surveillance cameras have been checked. No abnormalities were found!"
Hearing the security guard's reply, the white-haired old man immediately became enraged.
"Damn it, I used to be a tough guy in my youth. Where did these thieves come from, so impolite!"
"They don't steal computers, they don't steal experimental materials, they just steal a bunch of useless desks and chairs!"
"Are they really that short on wood for burning?!"
The security guard next to him looked at the old man, who was puffing and glaring.
He quickly lowered his head, afraid of being caught in the crossfire.
"Just you wait, this isn't over!!!"
After speaking, the principal of Sakugawa Middle School wanted to find the landline, but then realized his landline had been thrown into the corner.
"I!@#$%"
"Hello! I'm Suzuki! Tell the old brothers to all come to my house!"
"What's the matter? I was humiliated by a bunch of young whippersnappers, I have to get even!"
"Okay, tonight then. Remember to bring your tools!"
"Alright, that's it!"
Principal Suzuki, who had hung up the phone, suddenly noticed the security guard next to him, trembling as he looked at him.
"Pri… Principal… I think maybe we should let the Security Force handle it?"
The security guard, seeing his principal hang up, cautiously asked.
"What kind of talk is that? I am a principal, would I do anything illegal or disorderly?!"
"You go out first, you don't need to worry about this!"
"Yes… Then I'll go out first!"
Principal Suzuki watched the security guard flee, stroked his Whitebeard, and calmly muttered:
"As long as it's not discovered, it's not illegal or disorderly… Young man, you still have a lot to learn…"
At this moment, in a warehouse not far from Sakugawa Middle School, the "young whippersnappers" mentioned by Principal Suzuki were also complaining with speechless expressions.
"I just want to say, does our Intelligence Bureau have nothing serious to do all day?!"
"Why are others either monitoring the appearance of pirates at sea or collecting intelligence in the Eastern Empire?"
"Why are we the only ones always doing such bizarre things?!"
Katakuri looked expressionlessly at Ace, who was constantly complaining.
"You're talking? If it weren't for you refusing to take care of Miss Shinobu's barbecue restaurant, would we be getting punished?"
Rob Lucci looked at the two people beside him, his face full of helplessness.
He and Katakuri were completely caught in the crossfire because of that scoundrel Ace.
"That hateful woman made me barbecue, but she didn't even pay me!"
Ace shouted, burying his face in his hands, completely distraught.
At this moment, Katakuri, who had been silent on the side, suddenly spoke.
"To be precise, you just don't see your salary. Miss Shinobu gave your salary directly to Director Rouge."
"That's why I'm even more desperate!"
"Alright, stop wailing. Let's talk about how to deal with these desks and chairs?"
Rob Lucci realized that his personality was now being influenced by this guy Ace.
He, who was originally cool-headed, was now about to become a master of complaints!
"If you ask me, burn them all!"
Ace looked indignantly at the mountain of desks and chairs in front of him.
"That works too, but Lord Chen instructed that the compensation should be quietly placed in the principal's office tomorrow."
Rob Lucci also nodded in agreement after hearing Ace's words.
With a wave of Ace's right hand, the desks and chairs in front of them instantly turned into a sea of fire.
"Phew, finally dealt with…"
"Then prepare the compensation…"
At this point, Rob Lucci suddenly thought of something and looked at Ace and Katakuri with a panicked expression.
"Um… does anyone have money from this world…? I only have lime coins…"
"I don't."
Katakuri still said softly, expressionlessly.
But if one looked closely, one would notice that his mouth was also twitching uncontrollably.
"What about you, Ace?"
Hearing Rob Lucci's words, a cold smile appeared on Ace's lips, and he said lightly:
"Heh… When have you ever seen me with money…?"
"…"
Rob Lucci looked at these two teammates, who were no different from trash, and couldn't help but sigh deeply.
He turned his head and looked at the pigeon on his shoulder, saying helplessly:
"Hattori, I'll leave the rest to you!"
That afternoon, all the students from schools around Sakugawa Middle School heard a piece of news.
It was said that a pigeon trainer was performing acrobatics at the entrance of Sakugawa Middle School.
He was accompanied by two people, one of whom made exceptionally delicious mochi, and the other's barbecue was unparalleled.
For a time, many students were drawn to join the excitement.

"Oh dear, I've been discovered…"
Laura Stuart sat at her dressing table, tidying her long golden hair.
A flash of black light flickered across her beautiful face in the mirror.
A meaningful smile even appeared at the corner of her mouth…
