"Ah, Teacher Judy is resigning?! How can it be so sudden! ”

"yes. When I came back from vacation, I heard this kind of news, and I didn't have the motivation to go to school. Sonoko Suzuki held her chin and said listlessly.

Tang Ze, who was taking the book out of the drawer, looked at her drooping eyebrows, then at the rest of the class who were panicked, tilted his head, and did not speak.

Although the teacher at Didan High School was only a job that Judy applied for to facilitate the investigation of Belmode, due to her own personality and preference for children, this job was only a springboard for the investigation, and she did it very seriously.

Not only did Judy get a special teaching qualification, but she also wrote her lesson plans very carefully, and as long as she took a few English classes, everyone would recognize her as a good teacher.

Being so loved and reluctant by the students is enough to reflect her excellence as a teacher.

"Did something happen at work?" "She used to say that she liked Japan and her current job...... I hope something isn't wrong. ”

"Speaking of which......" Suzuki Sonoko, who remembered something, knocked on his palm and turned his head to look at Tang Ze, "Isn't Judy-sensei's sweetheart your brother?" Do you know what's going on? ”

"Well, it seems that because something happened at home, she needs to go back to the United States in the near future." Tang Ze shrugged his shoulders and said comfortingly, "Don't worry, Teacher Judy will definitely come back." ”

It's just that after dealing with Belmode's problems for a while, they go back to their headquarters for a while.

As a member of Shuichi Akai's team, since Shuichi Akai is still diligently tracking down the relevant news of the organization, it is only a matter of time before he comes to Japan.

After all, Japan is the most penetrated by them, and it can be regarded as their base camp.

Tang Ze, who had already joined the luxury package of the base camp of the black-clothed organization, shrugged lightly.

"yes, I haven't heard her mention her family." Suzuki Sonoko, who has always trusted Karazawa's news, put her mind at ease, "Teacher Judy has such a good personality, is cheerful, and can also accept the emerging things that our students like, her family must be very good people." ”

"Yes, someone who can teach Teacher Judy so well must be a happy and kind family, right?"

The moon shines through the thin screen window into the narrow room.

The woman squatting on the ground had long blond hair that was brighter and brighter than the moonlight.

With her back to the door, she was slowly arranging her loose hair into a bunch and curling it into the brim of her black hat.

The bright red hue slipped from her gloves like dew drops falling on the white petals of a flower, leaving no trace.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, the woman turned her head in the direction of the person who had come.

Her delicate and beautiful face was obscured by a peaked cap, and only thin red lips could be seen under the brim.

Blood-like, bright red lips.

The lips opened lightly, and the moonlight flowed out.

“ secret——”

"Smack!"

The frame in her hand slammed down on the table, waking Judy awake and she jerked her head up.

"Teacher Judy, are you okay?" Another teacher standing beside her noticed her movements and asked, "Your face is very bad. Too tired from work? ”

“…… Yes, there are some. Judy pinched the bridge of her nose, unfolded the retro-shaped frame in her hand, and put her glasses back on.

In the past two days, although the school is on holiday, she has no teaching tasks, but Akai Shuichi's team is basically full of workload, and she can only take time to rest in the interval between integrating materials and waiting for review, and her spirit is indeed very tired.

And every time like this, that hazy, even poignant dream, will hit her heart again.

After all these years, she couldn't tell the details of those vague old pasts, but she felt that her memories were getting deeper and deeper about the woman, the woman who destroyed everything under the bloody moon.

Sometimes, she is the little girl standing in front of the door, barefoot in pajamas, staring blankly at everything in the room, but other times, she seems to be the blonde woman whose hands are stained with blood and who does not hurry to deal with the scene, methodically and carefully wiping everything in her hands, pulling her glasses from the face of the deceased with round eyes, and wiping them gently like a lover.

She couldn't tell if she had been trapped in this nightmare for so long that she had completely absorbed into the scene, or if she had been completely distorted by that emotion and had turned into a demon......

But Judy knew very well that she needed an answer, and that her long solo journey needed an end.

She's gone so far down the road that she can't find a way to stop.

"These naughty people in Japan are a real headache, aren't they? I can understand that. The middle-aged teacher standing at her desk laughed a few times, and gently comforted, "Don't bury your head alone and think hard, this kind of work is really hard." ”

“No！ Anyway, everyone is a very good kid and I get along very well with the students. Judy curled her eyes and smiled back, "It's because I have a lot of personal matters to attend to, so I can't do this job." ”

"The students you bring are very fond of you, and now, the teacher has to worry about how to arrange the next teaching work."

"Well, I'm really, very, very sad at the thought of being separated from everyone soon......," Judy smiled helplessly and sighed.

Since Belmode killed her father and burned her home to the ground, as the only witness to the mysterious organization, she has accepted the FBI's witness protection program as a special witness.

In order to investigate everything related to Belmode, the FBI has always been in contact with her, and in order to get revenge, in order to seek an outlet for a nightmare, she also took this path as a matter of course.

Her life has been uneventful since the beginning of her life, and this period of life in Japan has been a rare quiet time in her life so far.

She really cherishes this time and cherishes these sincere students.

"Knowing that you're leaving, the students will be very sad." The middle-aged teacher said, gesturing towards the door of the office, "Look, someone is looking for you." I guess that's a second-year student in Class B. ”

Judy turned her head and saw Tang Ze standing in the doorway raising his hand towards her.

Tang Ze's earth-shattering sister-in-law spread the gossip related to Judy to the teachers.

Now when they see Tang Ze, they will subconsciously think that they have come to find Judy for something.

"Go ahead, don't leave regrets." patted Judy on the shoulder, and the middle-aged teacher said earnestly.

It's a shame to come to Japan in pursuit of your sweetheart, but you have to give up because of your family, right?

————

"Here, coffee."

Facing Judy, who was approaching with heavy steps and looking like he was about to ask for guilt, Tang Ze took out a thermos cup from behind him as if by magic.

“…… You brat. Judy, who was choked back by the questioning, couldn't laugh or cry, "It's all because you talked nonsense last time." Do you know what version of the gossip in the school has been spread? ”

Tang Ze's mixed-race identity can be intuitively seen from his appearance, so Judy's ambiguous relationship with his brother sounds particularly credible.

Even with it, Tang Ze's previous relationship with Judy was too close to be explained - the sweetheart's younger brother seems to have become a juvenile delinquent, and it is reasonable for her to contact each other more and try to help with education.

Tang Ze's identity as a criminal offender is already an open secret in Didan, so many legends of Judy have been born along with it, including but not limited to several versions such as the infatuated lover's cross-border pursuit of love, the disappearance of his sweetheart, the empathy to take care of Tang Ze, and the use of teaching his younger brother who has committed a crime as a test to pass the door......

Judy, who has heard a little bit of it, thinks that it is better to misunderstand her and Tang Ze's taboo teacher-student relationship, at least in this set of rumors, her image is more like a mature and independent woman, isn't it?

"Am I not telling the truth? Don't you like to show off your brother? Tang Ze's face was full of innocence.

"Who the hell told you that?" Rubbing her face that began to heat up, Judy couldn't deny it and said angrily, "Although we have a lot of people here, it's only me and Shuichi who have been contacting you, right?" ”

"Well, who knows, maybe it's hard to say if I see it myself?" Tang Ze laughed nonsense with a smile, "Aren't there many FBI agents who know that you have had a while?" ”

"Sure enough, it's the Kamel guy." Hearing Tang Ze prevaricate like this, Judy immediately locked up the suspect.

"It's not him, I've only met Mr. Carmel a few times, and we haven't talked much."

Tang Ze's explanation was very sincere, but in Zhu Di's ears, there was even more taste of three hundred taels of silver here.

Busy like this, there is also gossip about colleagues, it seems that some people's work is still not saturated......

With a cold snort, Judy unscrewed the cup in her hand and smelled the hot breath in her nose, and her complexion softened.

Don't worry about it for the time being, anyway, after finishing the important things, there are still many opportunities to free up your hands to clean up your mouthy colleagues.

"Is the reason you want to leave because of the plan that Shiho and I proposed?" Tang Ze, who successfully threw off the pot, put away his joking expression and asked seriously, "You must have other related work in the future, and there is nothing wrong with retaining this teacher's identity." ”

Judy looked left and right at the deserted atrium corridor to make sure that their conversation would not be heard by others, and then spread her hands: "The only meaning of this identity is to get closer to the 'new wisdom' more reasonably, and now that everything is about to be launched, it is not a wise choice to distract yourself extraordinarily." Even if I don't have your relationship, when the problem of 'her' is solved, I will still leave here. ”

"I see you like this job a lot, don't you really think about keeping your identity?" Tang Ze, who knew very clearly that Belmode would not be caught, persuaded him kindly.

Tang Ze is very clear about the feud between Judy and Belmode, and he also knows that no matter where Belmode is caught, she deserves it, but Tang Ze will not disrupt his plan because of the idea of a certain intelligence organization.

Coop aside, Bourbon and Belmode are the double guarantee of his Kumel identity.

Even if there is no inertia of the plot to influence, it is impossible for Tang Ze to support the FBI to arrest the other party at this point in time.

Belmode had to return to the Order to maximize his interests, and without her, it would have been too difficult to find another member of the Order who could provide the same assistance.

You can trust the connector, you can have an informant you trust, but don't trust the team and organization behind the other party, no matter what size it is - this is Tang Ze's work experience for many years.

Whether it is the FBI or the Japanese public security, although the cooperation is pleasant, it is not a power that is completely in his own hands like the Strange Thieves Group, and Tang Ze will have reservations about them.

Therefore, he can basically assert that the chance of Judy capturing Belmode in one fell swoop and retiring on the spot does not exist.

"No need." Shaking her head, Judy smiled, "There is only one reason why I am doing my current job, and that is hatred. ”

She had been trapped in this nightmare of a moonlit night for so many years, and there was only one goal she wanted to do, what she wanted to pursue.

She certainly had her own life - after solving that nightmare.

Feeling an inexplicable familiarity from Zhu Di's calm and indifferent expression, Tang Ze's expression was stunned.

"As an FBI agent, but only believe in your own selfishness, doesn't that sound a bit excessive? But that's what I really think. Judy didn't deliberately increase the volume or tone, these words fell on Tang Ze's ears, but they were extremely loud.

Although she is more exaggerated and more upright, she can use lines like "In order to prevent the tragedy that happened to me from repeating itself in more families" to whitewash her expression, there are some things that she can't fool herself.

"Actually, you don't have to come to persuade me. I understand your good intentions. Judy said calmly, "I think you can understand my thoughts." ”

Catching eye with Tang Ze's light blue eyes, Judy smiled at him tacitly.

Although the age gap between them is not small, although Tang Ze and her circumstances are not the same, Judy has a vague feeling.

- The guy in front of her, who likes to disguise her true self with a gentle appearance, is a fellow of her kind who can identify with her.

Judy smiled, but Tang Ze put away the smile he had been hanging on.

When this child no longer maintained a soft appearance, looking at this expressionless face, Judy felt that Tang Ze at this moment was more kind than before.

It's really like a show, this, with razor-sharp eyes.

It was as if she had seen the moonlight flowing out again, floating gently through the curtains.

“…… I can do understand that. That's why I want to tell you. Calvados, to Japan. ”

————

"You're really going to quit, teacher?!"

"Liar, right...... Woo, don't......"

"Guys, be quiet, be quiet." The teaching teacher standing at the lectern raised his hand and tried to control the situation, "Teacher Judy is also helpless, she has to return to her hometown because of her family......"

At this point, he turned his head and looked at Judy for help, motioning for something to ease his mood.

Judy, who was silent, looked up, heard the noise in the classroom, and seemed to finally come to her senses, and stepped forward to clear her throat.

"It's been a short time, but I'm really, very, very happy to meet you and spend such a time together." With her usual hearty smile, Judy smiled and said, "Parting is always inevitable, and there may be more difficulties waiting for you in the future, and waiting for me." ”

Speaking of this, her gaze had shifted to Tang Ze's face, which was sitting upright behind the desk.

"But I believe that I and everyone can get through this, find the answers we want, and have a bright future. Come on, everyone, good luck! ”

————

"So, Mr. Judy, is what Tang Ze said true? The reason for your resignation ......"

Judy paused, turned her head, looked at the two girls with worried faces subtlely, and then crossed their shoulders and glanced at Tang Ze, who was two steps behind and turned her head to look at her without anything happening.

How did she know what the reason Tang Ze was talking about......

This kid is making up her gossip behind her back.

Clenching her fists, Judy turned to Maolilan's expression to maintain gentleness, and patted her hand that grabbed her sleeve: "Well, it's really not because of family. There is something else to do. ”

"So what's going on? If you have any difficulties, we can help you too. Sonoko Suzuki grabbed the sleeve on the other side of her shirt.

She hadn't forgotten the help Judy had given them and Donzawa.

Although many people understood the latter as a situation where she would take extra care of Tang Ze because of his special relationship with her, Sonoko Suzuki never thought of it that way.

Even if Judy didn't do anything, even if he didn't find the student who maliciously slandered Tang Ze behind his back, Tang Ze would not suffer any substantial harm.

Even if the source of the rumor is found, the marks left by the rumors that have been spread cannot be smoothed, which is why other teachers did not intervene in this matter.

Later, as she expected, even if the culprit was found, Tang Ze's already damaged reputation would not return to the beginning, and he still looked like a transparent marginal person.

This shows that Judy's unhesitating help is so valuable, and Suzuki Sonoko is now eager to return the favor.

"Thank you, oh, so sweet." Giving the two girls a hug, Judy smiled and said, "Actually, it's the treasure map I've been looking for, a very, very important treasure map, and I've finally found it." ”

"Isn't it a first love?" Sonoko Suzuki, who was on her shoulder, whispered.

"Ah, Karasawa said, you came to Japan because his brother suddenly disappeared and needed help...... Moriran added on the other side.

"Yes, he also said that the situation was critical at that time, and as soon as you heard the news, you rushed over regardless of it......"

“…… Of course not! Judy grinded her teeth and glared at Tang Ze, who was full of indifference.

can expose Xiu's identity and be forced to evacuate the organization urgently, so the need for them to increase the number of people is said to have this effect, this kid is really ......

"It's just a treasure map, a treasure map that can guide me to my secrets. It's not easy to find treasures, so you have to protect your treasures, girls. ”
