Azure Files, the starting point of all miracles

As the eldest noble lady of Trinity.

Nagisa has always been very strict with herself.

Of course, it’s not that she likes to do this, but the position she is in requires her to do this.

As time went by, she almost forgot what she originally looked like.

Only under the stimulation of Mika's off-line behavior can Nagisa regain some of her past feelings...

Is this considered growth?

Nagisa didn't know.

But what she was sure of was that she didn't feel happy or joyful...

"Teacher... where are we?"

By a beautiful lake, Nagisa looked at the boy squatting next to a pile of wood in front of him, and several question marks kept popping up in his head.

"Didn't we say before? We're going to have a barbecue~"

As Xiyu spoke, he blew air into the pile of wood in front of him with a hollowed-out bamboo tube.

Seeing the teacher working so hard, although Nagisa didn't say anything, her heart was already in turmoil.

*What is the teacher saying?

*Barbecue?

*And that action he took earlier...wasn't it a little too weird?

*I didn’t expect that the teacher actually had such a side in private…

Although somewhat shocked, Nagisa's favorable impression of the teacher did not decrease.

At this moment, Xiyu suddenly handed the bamboo tube to Zhu.

"Nagisa~ Could you please help me light a fire?"

"I have to go prepare our lunch~"

"Ehhhhh-"

From the very beginning, Nagisa has been led by the teacher.

By the time she reacted, she found a long bamboo tube in her hand; and the teacher, holding a spear he had taken out from somewhere, walked towards the stream.

At this point, Nagisa had nothing more to say and could only do as the teacher said.

But the problem is that Nagisa, who has never done these things before, was a little confused for a moment.

Fortunately, she had seen the teacher working hard before.

*It's okay if I just blow air, right?

Thinking this way, Nagisa picked up the bamboo tube and began to carefully aim it at the pile of firewood in front of him...

I have to say that Kivotos is a truly spiritual and outstanding place.

Even if it is just an ordinary stream, the fish in it are all plump and delicious.

With his excellent fishing skills, Xiyu caught several fish in succession, then returned to the campfire with his catch, feeling very satisfied.

But it would have been better if he hadn't looked at it. When he did, he was shocked.

The girl in front of me who was making a fire no longer looked like a young lady. Her delicate face had already been blackened by the smoke and dust.

After seeing Xiyu coming, Zhu stood up tiredly.

"Teacher... I've finished..."

"Hmm... Hmm... Well done, puchi~"

Nagisa: “?”

Seeing the teacher wanting to laugh but not daring to, Nagisa first blinked in confusion. After vaguely guessing something, she quickly took out the small mirror she carried with her and looked at her face.

ohh~

Seeing how disheveled she looked at the moment, Nagisa's cheeks flushed slightly. After saying sorry to the teacher, she hurriedly ran to the stream and began to wash herself.

Looking at Zhu's back, the silent Xiyu couldn't help but frown slightly.

*It seems that I need to work a little harder...

----

----

*What a disgrace...

After some washing, Nagisa finally washed off the dust on her face.

But at the same time, I also removed most of my makeup in the morning in order to cover up my tired look.

Looking at his tired appearance reflected in the lake, Nagisa fell into silence.

Just then, a fragrance came from not far behind.

It is said that fatigue and hunger are a pair of inseparable brothers.

After Xiyu's torment, even though Nagisa didn't feel that way at first, she couldn't help feeling a little hungry now.

*But, if the teacher saw me like this...

*It would be too much to let him see me like this...

"Nagisa? What's wrong~ Are you okay?"

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind, startling Nagisa who was still in a daze.

She turned around subconsciously and found that Xiyu had come to her with grilled fish without her knowing when.

Seeing the teacher's concerned eyes, a hint of barely perceptible panic flashed across Nagisa's pupils.

Although she didn't see any dissatisfaction or anger on the teacher's face, she still didn't want the teacher to see her in such a miserable state.

"Nagisa, the fish is already grilled~"

“Eat it while it’s hot~”

"I...I know..."

Nagisa nodded gently, casually took a skewer of grilled fish from the teacher, and took a bite of it.

The next second, an extremely stimulating feeling erupted in her mouth.

Nagisa: “!!!!”

*hot!

*Very spicy!!!!

*This, this, this… What kind of devil’s food is this? No! I can’t stand it——

Xiao Zhu, who usually had a light diet, had never experienced such stimulation and immediately fell into confusion.

Seeing this scene, Xiyu quickly handed a bottle of "water" to the girl.

"Nagisa, I just wanted to say this, this is my perverted spicy..."

"Rather than that, drink something to relieve the pain!"

Nagisa: “——!”

Listening to the teacher's words, Nagisa didn't care about anything else and directly took the bottle handed to him by the teacher and started drinking.

but

*Goo——

It's a feeling I have never experienced before.

Numerous bubbles exploded in the mouth, mixed with thick sweetness, constantly charging towards Nagisa's taste buds!

This girl, who had never experienced industrial products before, could not stand such torture and immediately vomited.

After rinsing his mouth several times with clean water from the stream, Nagisa gradually came to his senses.

At the same time, due to these continuous shocks, the string that the girl used to maintain her sanity was completely broken.

She looked at the teacher beside her with a gloomy face.

"Teacher, are you teasing me on purpose?"

"What on earth is that weird smell? Is there really anyone who can withstand that kind of stimulation?"

"Also, what on earth is that weird drink made from a mixture of industrial saccharin and bubbles?"

"I'm serious! Seriously—"

However, after saying this, Nagisa regretted it.

Just as she was about to make amends, she saw the teacher's clear eyes.

"It feels great, right, Nagisa?"

Nagisa: “…”

"I told you that you don't need to use those things to disguise yourself in front of me."

"Because in my eyes, you are not the leader of a tea party, nor are you the eldest daughter of Trinity."

"Just an ordinary student, an ordinary but also an extremely important student to me."

"It's been hard all along, right?"

"You tried really hard, Nagisa."

Chapter 179, Nagisa - Face the "Challenge"!

Language.

Full of hypocrisy and deception.

Everyone wears their own mask.

Use false words to embellish yourself and disguise yourself as perfect.

Nagisa understood this.

Therefore, she would not easily believe in the so-called language.

The human heart is complicated. Even companions who have grown up together will eventually go their separate ways.

I once naively thought that all this would last forever, but now I have to swallow the bitter fruit of "naivety".

I thought that from now on, I would no longer believe anything easily.

But, for some reason... after hearing what that person said to her, Nagisa inexplicably felt a sense of anticipation.

It was obvious that I was just playing around with him at the beginning.

It is obvious that the connection between them is only based on exploitation and transaction.

But...why can he still treat himself like this?

Being able to be so honest and gentle to a masked... fake person like myself.
