Join the ServerLin Han soaked in Ink Crystal’s large bathroom. He felt an increasing urge to live off a woman’s wealth, his resolve having surprisingly weakened to such an extent. He found himself mocking his own weakness during this moment of relaxation.
He couldn’t help but recall his conversation with Ox Mask earlier that day.
It was clear that the three remaining escapees were all exceptional, each possessing unique skills. Apprehending the rest would prove incredibly difficult.
Essentially, unless the masked individuals took the initiative, catching them would be impossible.
Yet, Ox Mask was connected to Morning Star.
Lin Han had personally destroyed Morning Star in the past, but he knew he hadn’t fully mastered his powers back then. He had no idea how many had secretly escaped.
Nor did he know how many individuals like Ox Mask had collaborated with Morning Star from the shadows.
Nevertheless, this was a crucial lead. If he could apprehend Ox Mask, he might uncover a wealth of related information.
Those associated with that organization were hardly good people; they were all lunatics. The thought filled him with unease.
Recalling Liu Yun’s confession, he wondered how someone like him could ever marry and spend a lifetime with anyone.
“Click!”
The sudden sound jolted Lin Han’s wandering thoughts back to reality.
He sharply turned his gaze toward the bathroom door.
And then, Magical Girl Ink Crystal walked in!
“Ink Crystal!”
Wrapped in a bath towel, revealing her fair feet, the girl strolled in with a wide grin. “Hehe~ Teacher, aren’t I unpredictable? I knew you’d be wary last time! That’s why I didn’t do anything then!”
“And sure enough! This time, Teacher, you didn’t lock the door! Hmph hmph~ Invaded by me with such ease!”
The girl gripped her towel with one hand, while holding up a phone with the other. She moved closer to the bathtub, then squatted down, raising her phone and opening the selfie function.
Lin Han quickly covered his face with his hands.
“Eh~ Teacher, if you cover your face with your hands, other places will be exposed~ The water is transparent, you know!”
“Ah?” Lin Han instinctively moved to cover his lower regions.
Immediately, with a “Click,” a photo of Ink Crystal and Lin Han together in the bathroom was taken.
“Hehe~ Teacher Lin, if this photo gets out, your teaching career will be over!”
“This is too wicked, Ink Crystal! You inherently mischievous brat, let your Teacher correct you.”
Though he yearned to do so, Lin Han was currently at a loss, unsure what to even conceal.
“Teacher, is this really okay? One hand covering your face, one hand covering your groin…”
“You… what are you trying to say?”
“I only have two hands, Teacher Lin! At this moment, if the hand holding my bath towel were to loosen even slightly, a magical girl’s dazzling belly button would be exposed right before you.”
“Could a Teacher maintain their composure in such a situation?”
Lin Han’s eyes widened. “I think you’re the one who needs to maintain composure, Ink Crystal! Get out, now!”
“This is my home, Teacher Lin! You haven’t even moved in. As the saying goes, a guest should follow the host’s lead.”
“As a guest, Teacher Lin, are you actually trying to usurp the host and tell me, the owner, to leave?”
“Ah?”
Lin Han found it utterly absurd.
Just as he stared wide-eyed at Ink Crystal, her hand suddenly released its grip.
The bath towel plummeted to the floor.
“Ah!”
“Bingo!~”
Lin Han froze.
Beneath the towel, he saw a black bikini swimsuit.
Ink Crystal placed her hands on her hips. “Well, Teacher Lin? Were you surprised? I specifically bought a strapless design. When wrapped in a towel, doesn’t it make one imagine there’s nothing underneath?”
A mischievous smile was plastered across her face, clearly designed to tease Lin Han.
“How about it, Teacher Lin? And that ‘Ah!’ Was that a cute maiden’s cry? I really should have recorded that strange sound!”
‘This girl! She’s getting more and more audacious!’
‘She truly has no respect for her elders! She’s practically a rebellious disciple!’
Despite his indignation, Lin Han was powerless at the moment; he certainly couldn’t stand up from the bathtub.
“You’ve had your fun teasing me; shouldn’t you leave now?”
Ink Crystal, however, merely blinked. “What are you talking about, Teacher? Isn’t the main act just beginning?”
“The main act?”
“That’s right! The main act!”
Ink Crystal stated with absolute certainty, “At this moment, shouldn’t you, Teacher, furiously stand up, your magnificent dragon rising to face this adorable maiden, a colossal shadow engulfing me?
“Then you, Teacher, would declare, ‘You detestable brat, allow me to correct you!'”
“I would then panic, attempting to escape, only to accidentally slip on the slick bathroom floor and fall, my bottom conveniently raised towards you, Teacher.”
“Then you would directly grasp my waist and effortlessly tear off this simple swimsuit! Immediately, under your guidance, Teacher, I would ascend the ladder of adulthood, no longer that detestable brat, but rather—a Teacher’s exclusive toy, amazing!—one who would become useless without you!”
Lin Han stared at Ink Crystal, who blinked innocently.
Then, Lin Han finally reached out a hand, pinching her. His anger was palpable. “Listen, Ink Crystal, it’s not entirely forbidden for teenagers to watch inappropriate content, but it’s not meant for you to tease your teacher with, do you understand?”
“Ah!!!” Ink Crystal shrieked. “Teacher! My skull is going to shatter! You’re scarier than a monster, Teacher! Let me go! I was wrong!”
After thoroughly chastising Ink Crystal, Lin Han lay back in the bathtub, defeated. He gazed at the ceiling. “So, are your tests complete?”
“It’s still your fault, Teacher! You’re Kamen Rider, yet you kept it from me!” Ink Crystal rubbed her head, looking at Lin Han with considerable displeasure.
“You knew I was a Magical Girl, Teacher, but you wouldn’t tell me your identity. That’s so unfair~”
“So, when did you start suspecting?”
“It was when you appeared last time. Zhang Xiao looked like she had something to say, but held back—and she could immediately recognize my identity.”
“That meant either Kamen Rider or Amethyst, one of them knew me. I also knew Teacher Liu was Amethyst… and Teacher Liu and Zhang Xiao have no connection. So, it could only be Kamen Rider, right?
“And Kamen Rider always appears around me—”
Ink Crystal glared fiercely at Lin Han. “I gave you such obvious hints! Yet you made me go to such lengths before you’d admit it! Our friendship has faded!”
‘No wonder she’s been so annoying lately.’
‘I never thought she’d suspected my identity for so long, yet never exposed me.’
‘There must be a reason behind it.’
“I know you had your reasons, Teacher,” Ink Crystal said huffily. “That’s why I never pressed you. I hoped you would tell me willingly. Aren’t we good friends?”
Lin Han’s face showed his helplessness. “Some things are in the past.”
“Forget it, I won’t force it.”
With that, Ink Crystal stood up. She then raised a fair, slender leg and kicked it directly into the bathtub.
“Hm?”
By the time Lin Han regained his senses, Ink Crystal had fully entered the bathtub.
‘At first, I thought this large bathtub was quite good, but I didn’t expect two people could lie in it so easily.’
‘I should change to a smaller tub. That way, intimate contact between two people would be unavoidable… Small things have their small advantages!’
‘Sometimes, a suitable confinement can have unexpected effects. I’ve truly learned something!’
Lin Han found himself increasingly unable to understand the girl before him lately. Ever since she became a Magical Girl, ever since she chose her own path, she was no longer like her old self.
He couldn’t quite grasp what she was thinking anymore. “So, Teacher, how does bathing with a beautiful girl feel? Did it make your heart flutter?”
‘I can’t deny that my body’s instincts are reacting.’
“After all, Teacher is a normal man, right~”
‘The way you say that makes it sound like you don’t think I’m a normal man.’
Ink Crystal shrugged. “So, Teacher, your money just went into modifying your motorcycle to have a bug-like head? And your Kamen Rider mask could have been made much cooler, right? Why make it look like an insect?”
At the mention of this topic, Lin Han’s expression softened slightly.
‘There was once someone who loved observing insects…’
‘Alright! That’s enough!’
Ink Crystal covered her ears. “Teacher Lin, you’re truly awful! While bathing with a beautiful girl, you start talking about your first love!”
“It’s outrageous that someone like you could even be liked. I need to question Teacher Liu’s taste.”
Ink Crystal extended her leg, her jade-white foot suddenly pressing against Lin Han’s chest. “Are my legs prettier, or Amethyst’s?”
‘You keep asking, yet you don’t stop. What exactly are you trying to do?’
Soaking in the bathtub, Ink Crystal mused, “If you ask me what I’m trying to do, I honestly don’t know~ But Teacher Lin, you’re my only friend.”
“After I vaguely guessed your identity, I always felt like you were drifting far away from me. It’s as if I don’t understand you at all, Teacher Lin.”
“And then Teacher Liu likes you. If you two got together, wouldn’t you drift even further away from me?”
A hint of grievance finally appeared in her eyes. “I wanted to say it, but when I stayed in my usual self, I just couldn’t bring myself to speak these words.”
“I had to become a Magical Girl to properly talk to you, Teacher… Am I very cunning, Teacher?”
“Ink Crystal…”
Lin Han had never expected to hear such words from Ink Crystal. “And Teacher Lin is also very cunning. Teachers are too cunning towards their students.”
“You see everything about your students, yet to a student, they are just a small part of your life. Teacher Lin, you’re my only friend, yet you have so many friends, and so many admiring students.”
“I know it shouldn’t be this way, but every time I think about it, I feel so wronged. Teacher Lin is a unique existence to me, but to Teacher Lin, I seem to be expendable.”
Splash, splash.
The water rippled.
Ink Crystal was now kneeling in the bathtub, pressed close to Lin Han. Resting on his chest was no longer her slender foot, but the girl’s delicate hands.
She leaned over him and asked, “Teacher, am I… a special existence to you?”
