Chapter 1651: Chapter 1101: The Eve of the Celebration_3

Besides, every time they arrived at a territory, the latter would send out their son to greet them, or hold a banquet or dance to lure Tachibana Hinata. To be honest, although this isn’t as bloody as the front-line battles, its level of danger is just as high. After all, Huang’zen Kumiko and her companions have their brains in gear, but Tachibana Hinata... well, politely speaking, given how easily she attracts scumbags, this teacher might not be the sharpest tool in the shed.

This resulted in Kotoko Iwanaga and Tachibana Rui having to put in a lot of effort as her "guards."

Listening to Kotoko Iwanaga’s report reminded Duanmu Huai of a game he used to play, where the protagonist was a servant of the house, and the game’s mission was to prevent the lady of the house and the young lady from being assaulted by outsiders like villagers, doctors, or students. If they failed, those ladies with little ability to resist would become ecstatic targets for Taurens.

Tachibana Hinata was like the lady in that game, while Kotoko Iwanaga and Tachibana Rui were like the protagonists, trying every means to stop the evil hands reaching towards Tachibana Hinata from all directions.

Of course, to Duanmu Huai, failure would be fine as long as they could gain experience from it. He had no thoughts about these brainless women.

"You’ve worked hard, well done."

"Oh, not at all, no matter what world it is, such despicable adults are all the same. Compared to the Hell I’m not familiar with or Demons, this is actually much easier to deal with. After all, this world has no contraception, they must be thinking if they can just ’one shot to the soul’, get Tachibana pregnant, then she would stay here. Men are so simple, no matter what kind of plots they have, it ultimately boils down to this solution."

As she spoke, Kotoko Iwanaga raised her hand, forming a circle with one hand while the other inserted a finger into the circle.

"Alright, alright, this is what you choose to learn as a kid?"

Seeing Kotoko Iwanaga’s gesture, Duanmu Huai helplessly rolled his eyes. This little girl was fine in every way but always loved to crack dirty jokes out of nowhere. She was obviously a proper young lady; where did she learn this from?

But Duanmu Huai had to admit that often times it was indeed like this... especially when it came to dealing with someone like Tachibana Hinata.

For "true love," she could even become a mistress. Isn’t it only natural that such a woman would be deceived?

If not for Tachibana Rui and Kotoko Iwanaga keeping a close watch on her, Tachibana Hinata might already be lying on some nobleman’s bed by now.

"Let’s leave it at that."

Seeing Huang’zen Kumiko enter, Duanmu Huai told Kotoko Iwanaga, who nodded, stood up, and put on her beret again.

"Then, teacher, I’ll take my leave first."

"Hmm, oh, by the way, just do as I said tomorrow, no problem, right?"

"Leave it to me, absolutely no problem."

With that, Kotoko Iwanaga greeted Huang’zen Kumiko and then turned to leave. Watching her go, Huang’zen Kumiko then sat down.

"May I ask... what the teacher needs me for?"

"It’s about tomorrow’s parade."

"Ah..."

Upon hearing this, Huang’zen Kumiko suddenly realized. She already heard from Lilianna about it; they would participate in tomorrow’s celebration, Duanmu Huai as the hero who defeated the Demon King. They, on the other hand, were heroes who defended the Bastion Fortress, and would parade around the King’s Boulevard, receiving cheers and praises from the public.

Duanmu Huai wasn’t interested, but the students were quite excited.

"Are you all prepared for tomorrow?"

"Yes, we’ve decided to wear uniforms..."

After all, in Japan, students generally wear uniforms for formal occasions.

"Oh, is that so."

Duanmu Huai nodded.

"Then it’s simple, I need you all to be fully armed tomorrow."

"Eh? Fully armed?"

Hearing Duanmu Huai’s words, Huang’zen Kumiko was a bit surprised. When they came to this world to fight, they definitely couldn’t wear Ryuo Academy’s uniforms; instead, they wore the armor of this world. Of course, each person’s attire varied, so their equipment was also diverse. Wearing such things for battle was fine, but dressing like that for a parade... was a bit challenging for uniform-conscious Japanese people.

However, Duanmu Huai didn’t care about that.

"That’s right, at most you can put on cloaks over them, and be ready for battle."

"...Teacher? Battle ready? Are we going to fight an enemy?"

"It’s just a hunch, in any case, you should go explain to the front-line team to be battle ready tomorrow and await my orders. The logistics team will stay at the church on standby, with Mary in charge, ready to support at any time. Do you think I asked you to celebrate a day early for no reason? I’m afraid you might not be in the mood tomorrow. In any case, better safe than sorry, don’t get too caught up in the celebration."

"Uh..."

Hearing Duanmu Huai’s blunt response, Huang’zen Kumiko was a bit embarrassed, but soon recovered her composure and nodded.

"I understand, teacher."
