He became a god in Japan starting with the bear disaster.

Chapter 29 Embarrassing Face

In the chaotic, crowded, and dark environment, the man and woman were pressed close together, their positions intertwined.

Lin Xiuyi naturally felt her hand resting in a soft and warm harbor.

He was a gentleman and would never stoop to taking advantage of someone in distress, so he moved his hand away.

But he accidentally touched a more convex and softer part.

"Eek—"

He looked at Isejin and let out a muffled, soft cry before immediately covering his mouth.

The girl seemed to have been greatly shocked, and tears welled up in the corners of her eyes.

Seeing that things were not going well, Lin Xiuyi immediately moved her hand down again, but soon felt her thumb brush against a soft and elastic skin, and then hooked onto some kind of ribbon-like fabric.

—Oh no, I think I've snagged Isshiki Kin's clothes.

He was startled, his hand trembled, and the fabric detached from Isejin's body.

However, a single finger cannot hook it. Just before the fabric slips from his finger and falls to the bottom of the wardrobe, Lin Xiuyi catches it in his palm.

It feels soft, with a gentle texture, and carries warmth... along with a strange, ever-flowing sense of life.

What is that?

Lin Xiuyi, who had never learned about or been exposed to anything related to women's clothing, frowned slightly.

"Shuichi, that's..."

A sliver of light shone through the blinds at the top of the wardrobe, illuminating Yi Sejin's blushing face.

"I'm sorry, I'll give it back to you."

Lin Xiuyi said in a low voice.

He then took the fabric and returned it to Isshiki Kin, but his nose, which couldn't help but sniff out a fragrance first.

In the dim light, both of them could see that what Lin Xiuyi was holding was clearly a strip of [data deleted] color.

Isshiki Kin quickly snatched the item away.

Could it be that...?

"...Is it underwear?!"

Lin Xiuyi exclaimed in shock, almost losing control of her voice, and bumped her head on the top of the wardrobe with a loud thud.

"Yes, yes..." Yokota, who was anxiously making a phone call in the principal's office, turned around when he heard the voice, but his attention was completely focused on the content of the conversation. Thinking that he was hallucinating, he quickly looked away.

The two people inside the cabinet, who had endured two consecutive heart-pounding episodes without making a sound, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Xiuyi felt a little embarrassed and looked at Isshiki Jin, wanting to apologize. However, Isshiki Jin seemed to know what he was thinking. As soon as he opened his mouth, she reached out and covered his mouth, while shaking her head to indicate that they should keep quiet for the time being.

Lin Xiu nodded in agreement.

But, did her hand just touch something?

Oh no, what about his mouth and tongue...?

Lin Xiu swallowed hard, almost choking.

"I hope you can do me a favor, considering I've helped you before, yes, yes, hahaha... You're right, the death of one teacher isn't a big deal..."

Outside the wardrobe, Yokota Daichi was still on the phone. Judging from his conversation, he was probably asking a powerful figure for help to cover up Maeda's death.

Lin Xiuyi's mind immediately snapped out of the trivial matters between men and women and became engrossed in Yokota's conversation with the important figure.

To his disappointment, Yokota Daichi quickly ended the call after a string of flattering words.

"That's settled then."

Yokota let out a long sigh of relief, finished speaking casually, and left the office.

Lin Xiu pressed her ear against the blinds and clearly heard the other person's footsteps recede into the distance and then disappear before pushing open the door and going out.

He took a deep breath of fresh air and turned to ask, "Are you alright, Jin? I'm so sorry about what happened earlier..."

"Get out of here."

Inside the wardrobe, Iroha Kin, whose clothes had been rumpled by being touched, covered her skirt with her hand, her face flushed with embarrassment and anger.

……

By the time the two had photographed each page of the notebook and obtained evidence, lunch break was almost over when they came out of the principal's office.

"I need to go to the restroom first."

"Iseki Jin suddenly said."

"That's perfect, I'll go too."

Lin Xiuyi felt that he had been holding it in for so long and was starting to need to urinate.

"No!"

The girl refused outright and ran away in a hurry without giving a reason.

Lin Xiu scratched his head, not understanding what was going on, so he went back to the classroom by himself.

……

The chaotic state of the school continued until school ended.

As soon as the bell rang, the students who had been arguing incessantly hurriedly left the school, and even the venues of various clubs became deserted.

Lin Xiu hadn't seen Ise Jin for half the afternoon, so she took the initiative to go to Class A to find her.

The young star sat in her seat, staring straight ahead, exuding a sharp aura like the winter winds of Hokkaido, which kept even her usual fans and bodyguards at bay.

Only Lin Xiuyi could remain unfazed by this aura.

He slowed his pace and approached.

Are you angry?

Ask tentatively.

"……No."

"I apologize. I was really bad at noon, but it was careless. Can you forgive me?"

Lin Xiuyi admitted.

Isshiki Jin remained silent for a moment, then finally sighed, "Shuichi, I'm not angry with you, I'm angry with myself."

This was the first time Lin Xiuyi had seen her like this, and he didn't know why. He wanted to ask her more, but he was interrupted.

"I'm sorry, I'm emotionally unstable, probably because that day is approaching. Let's go, where are you taking me?"

Isshiki Kin picked up her handbag and stood up.

"That date... I mean, my period?"

"Alright, alright, let's go!"

Yishiki Jin blushed and pushed Lin Xiuyi out of the A class classroom, leaving a group of fangirls and guards heartbroken on the spot.

As they walked out of the school gate, Lin Xiuyi led the way.

"We're going to the city's municipal hospital."

"Visiting a patient?"

"Yes, she's Mr. Maeda's daughter. She's sick and in the hospital. I went to visit her yesterday on someone's behalf."

Lin Xiu fell silent as she thought about what happened last night.

Are you worried that she'll find out about Maeda-sensei's death?

"Someone will likely tell her about something this big."

Maeda Tetsu probably hasn't recovered from what happened last night yet. If he were to learn of his father's death now, no one knows how heartbroken he would be...

That girl is already very pitiful.

"If you still harbor even a sliver of the idea that Maeda Kenpei actually committed suicide, you will definitely not think that way after you see her."

Lin Xiuyi added.

He took Iroha Kin to buy food and strawberries first, and then took the city bus to the hospital.

After registering the information, when I entered the ward, I found the girl hugging a drawing board and crying very hard.

Upon seeing the person who arrived, she looked up, her eyes red from the continuous flow of tears, and asked in a heartbreakingly sobbing voice, "Big brother, why did Dad...?"
