Azure Files, the starting point of all miracles

The room suddenly became quiet.

Mika hugged the teacher, while Hina was a little hesitant beside her.

*Noah, you are just afraid of trouble...

*Forget it~

After looking at the two children, Xiyu shrugged.

"I'll explain the situation."

"But before that, can you put me down first?"

"Eh? Is it really necessary?" Weihua looked a little reluctant.

However, she finally let the teacher go obediently.

When her legs touched the ground again, the feeling of freedom made Xiyu feel happy.

"So, where do we start?"

After sorting out his thoughts in his mind, Xiyu slowly said: "Actually, it's like this—"

? : "Teacher, are you in here?"

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door from not far away.

A familiar voice interrupted Xiyu's words.

The three of them looked towards the door of the ward at the same time. After Xiyu responded, the girl outside the door pushed it open and walked in.

It is the Arius team led by Atsuko.

After entering the room, the first thing they noticed was the teacher's attitude which was completely different from usual.

"teacher……"

After staring at Xiyu in front of her for a few seconds, Yazuko showed a thoughtful expression: "Is this some special play?"

"I've heard before that the teacher likes younger girls, but I didn't expect that he would actually--"

"No, no, no, this is obviously a misunderstanding!"

Just when Xiyu was about to explain, Saori stepped forward first.

"Azuko, stop talking nonsense."

"The teacher is not that kind of person."

There was a gleam in the girl's eyes.

That is an unconditional trust.

Looking at Saori who was so serious, Atsuko shrugged and stopped teasing the teacher.

But for some reason, when Xiyu looked at Saori like this, she suddenly felt a sense of guilt and embarrassment.

"Yes, that's right, the teacher is not that kind of weird person!" At this time Weihua also spoke.

"The teacher is an excellent adult. Don't be misled by those meaningless rumors, Ms. Atsuko."

Hinata also added a sentence after Mika.

Xiyu: “…”

How to do?

The students trust me so wholeheartedly, and the guilt and embarrassment in my heart are becoming heavier and heavier!

I'm really not as good as you say...

As if she saw the disgusted expressions on the faces of "victims" such as Ako and Iori, Xiyu complained in her heart, feeling both amused and helpless.

Chapter 140: Saori: I swear on my life

Although Xiyu does not have the powerful ability of mind reading, he can tell it just from Saori's expression and demeanor.

What kind of position do I hold in this girl's heart?

"Although we once spent a dark period of our lives under the shadow of an adult, that is now in the past."

"Teacher, although he is an adult, he is definitely not the kind of person who would hurt us."

“Think about our lives now. If it weren’t for teachers, people like us wouldn’t be able to have all this.”

"Therefore, we must keep this kindness in mind!"

Looking at Saori's extremely serious look, I believe that if Xiyu didn't step forward to stop her, she would definitely come up with something like "Sensei's One Hundred Advantages".

"Yes...I'm sorry, teacher, I went a little too far..."

After being stopped by Xiyu, Saori realized her own gaffe and lowered her head in embarrassment.

On the other side, Atsuko also looked like she had "survived a disaster" and exclaimed: "I'm really saved~"

"Speaking of which, teacher, you may not know that Sha-chan spent the entire night yesterday talking to us about you, teacher~"

"Although I understand that Sa-chan wants us to trust the teacher, it's okay if we don't have to do that."

After all, we all know the teacher very well and respect and love him from the bottom of our hearts.

Atsuko did not say the latter sentence out loud, but ended the topic with a smile.

In response, Xiyu smiled awkwardly and shifted her attention to the other two girls.

"Misaki, Hiyori, good morning~"

"By the way, how did everyone sleep yesterday?"

As soon as Xiyu finished speaking, before Misaki could even open her mouth, Hiyori came over with shining eyes: "Teacher! Is this heaven?"

"Although life is always full of pain, unexpected good things can happen."

"But, could it be that the teacher deliberately wants us to sink into this and become unable to leave it, so that he can completely control us and train us to be the way he likes?"

After a round of divergent thinking, Hiyori soon revealed her nature as a "little crybaby" once again.

"Aaaah~ As expected, life is full of pain... But if it's a teacher, it doesn't seem so bad~ Hehehe~"

"Okay, you idiot."

Perhaps unable to bear Hiyori's delusions, Misaki reached out and gently pinched the other's cheek.

"It seems that Hiyori is in good spirits."

"Misaki, how about you? Did you get enough rest?"

"teacher……"

After hearing the teacher's caring words, Misaki stopped "punishing" Hiyori, and after a brief pause, she responded in a calm tone.

"I don't understand what the point is."

"If you mean whether I have adjusted myself to the next task, my answer is - yes."

"Although I am also concerned about whether Misaki has had enough rest, what I am talking about now is how well Misaki slept yesterday."

Xiyu shook her head and said to Misaki gently, "Did you sleep well last night? Is there anything you are not used to that needs to be adjusted?"

"For example, is the bed soft or the quilt warm? Or do you prefer a hard bed to a soft bed?"

"..."

Facing the teacher's question, Misaki fell silent again.

This time, she was silent for several seconds before responding somewhat irrelevantly.

"I don't understand...teacher."

"What's the point of your question..."

"Are you dissatisfied?"

Xiyu showed a somewhat worried expression: "But it doesn't matter, I will go prepare a new bed for you, Misaki--"

Seeing that Xiyu was about to leave, Misaki grabbed Xiyu's delicate wrist in time.

Feeling the warmth coming from her palm, Misaki couldn't help but frown slightly.

"You are really... incomprehensible!"

"If I remember correctly, I didn't say anything that I was dissatisfied with the room, did I?"

"So, Misaki thinks it's not bad?"

"..."

After staring at the teacher in front of her for several seconds, Misaki finally made an expression that said "I lost to you" and sighed.

"You already know the answer, but you still do this..."

"Is this some new form of punishment?"

"That's fine..."

“I slept very comfortably… It was a feeling I had never experienced before.”

"That's right~"

After getting Misaki's answer, Xiyu felt completely relieved.

"That's great~"

*teacher……

Looking at the gentle smile on Xiyu's face, although her attitude is much more immature compared to the past, her reliability and gentleness have never changed.

Recalling what she had experienced after meeting her teacher, Misaki's eyes, which were filled with emptiness and nothingness, unknowingly became a little brighter.

Although he is a troublesome adult who always likes to do meaningless things...

But... now I seem to have some understanding.

…It’s great to meet you in this world.

Misaki whispered in her heart to Xiyu in front of her, in a voice that only she could hear.

Although the communication with Arius' team did not take too much time, Xiyu currently has a grasp of the status of these four girls.

Full of energy and spirit.

Perhaps we have not yet emerged from the shadow of the past, but if the current trend continues, it is only a matter of time.

While he was talking to these children, a familiar voice was heard, causing the four members of Arius's team to pause.

"Everyone in Team Arius looks good~"

"That's great~☆"

"—!"

The moment the voice came, a gleam of light flashed in Saori's pupils.

After realizing who the person was, she subconsciously called out the other person's name.

"The Holy Garden has not yet bloomed..."

"Yeah~ That's right, it's me~ the teacher's princess!"

"I didn't expect you to still remember me, I'm so happy~"

Mika said this with a smile, and she inadvertently reached out and hugged the teacher.

Can't remember that's fake...
