Azure Files, the starting point of all miracles

"I didn't mean that!"

"Compared to this, you should cherish yourself more! Don't give away the most important thing for a girl for such a ridiculous reason!"

"—!"

Perhaps he didn't expect the other party's reaction to be so intense. After a brief moment of stunned silence, Noah pursed his lips.

"Sure enough, you are our teacher Xiyu..."

"Only someone as gentle as you would care about us like this."

“…Well, I’m a little confused.”

Hearing the girl addressing him, Xiyu rubbed his temples.

He instinctively wanted to refute the other party. He was just a sixteen-year-old high school student. Not to mention being a teacher, he hadn't even graduated yet.

But for some reason, there was always a voice in his heart telling him that he was indeed the teacher of these two children.

Under such influence, Xiyu finally decided to find out the situation first and then make plans.

After noticing the boy's confusion at the moment, Noah put away the smile on his face and looked at Xiyu seriously.

"I was afraid you had forgotten all about us."

"But now it seems that you still remember us in your subconscious, which is great."

"Don't worry, I'll tell you what happened between us--"

In this way, through the narration of the girl named Noah, Xiyu gradually understood the fairy tale that belonged to him and them and took place in the academy city called "Kivotos".

"You mean, I was originally a teacher in Academy City, and you were my students?"

"The reason I'm here now is because of an attack by a guy called Black Suit."

"He destroyed my body and then confined my consciousness to this world?"

"And now, you came to this world just to take me back?"

After listening to Noah's story, Xiyu sorted out his thoughts and a distressed expression appeared on his face.

"This kind of thing... is too far-fetched..."

"teacher……"

On the other side, looking at the expression on Xiyu's face, Noah also showed a hint of confusion.

After all, when she came here, she had already learned that Xiyu's consciousness had spent sixteen years here.

If one day someone suddenly appears and tells you that everything you have experienced so far is a dream and is false, and the other person is still willing to talk to you nicely, it means that the other person has good self-cultivation.

Just when Noah was thinking about whether he should use other methods to try to ease Xiyu's acceptance of all this, Xiyu suddenly let out a sigh.

"I understand."

"Teacher Xiyu——"

"Your name is Noah, right?"

"……Um."

"Although what you said sounds like a fantasy, I don't know why, but I feel like believing you."

Noah: “?!”

However, before Noah could be happy, Xiyu changed the subject and said, "Is this some kind of psychological suggestion? Or some other rhetoric trick?"

But just as Noah was about to explain, Xiyu changed his words again.

"But even so, I still want to believe you."

"Noah...my...student..."

After saying this, Xiyu suddenly felt that some shackles on her body were removed, and an unprecedented sense of relief filled her whole body.

But before he had time to take it all in, Xiyu felt something soft falling into his arms.

"That's great, teacher... I knew you would never forget us..."

"Noah... Noah..."

Looking at the girl who was hugging him tightly, Xiyu kept repeating her name. When he came to his senses, his hands were already hugging her tightly.

"I'm sorry, Noah... for making you worry about me..."

"It's okay, teacher."

"Compared to this, it's us... We all promised to protect you, but we broke our promises time and time again..."

"It's okay. After all, according to what you said, the man called Black Suit used space folding and time stasis devices to attack me."

"And didn't I trust him at the time? So, all of this is my responsibility, and has nothing to do with you kids."

"Rather, you guys have done an excellent job~"

"Thank you for caring about me like this."

As the feeling of déjà vu keeps returning, some forgotten memories also begin to emerge in my mind.

Looking at the extremely familiar tenderness on Xiyu's face, Noah pursed his lips and couldn't help but push him down on the sofa behind him.

"Noah?!"

"Teacher... I'm sorry, just think of me as a bad kid..."

As their eyes met, the atmosphere in the air gradually became charming.

The emotions that had been suppressed for so long burst out at this moment, and Noah found that he could no longer control his reason.

Just as the girl was about to bend down and kiss the boy beneath her, a familiar voice suddenly broke the atmosphere between the two.

"Noah? What are you planning to do?!"

"Yuuka?!"

Hearing this voice calling him like this, Noah immediately recovered from his confused state.

Looking at the girl who appeared at the door at some point, Noah was stunned for a moment, and then quickly returned to his usual relaxed expression.

"Yuuka-chan, you're awake~"

"That's great, let's do some cool things to the teacher together~"

"Shouldn't we separate now?!"

Xiyu looked at Youxiang who was standing there in a daze, then looked at Noah who was eager to try in front of him, and couldn't stop complaining.

In response, Noah rolled his eyes at him and said, "Teacher, it's really unromantic of you to say that~"

At this time, Yuka came over and forcefully separated the two.

Things had come to this point, and Noah had no way to go on. He could only hide this thought in his heart for the time being with some regret.

Anyway, now there are only me and Yuka around the teacher.

The days are long~

Chapter 227: Connection Reestablished Again

"stare--"

"..."

"stare--"

"…Um, Yuuka?"

From the beginning, Noah had been stared at by Yuka with a sharp gaze.

Although this did not affect Noah's appearance of being at ease, he was still somewhat uncomfortable.

"Yuuka, why do you keep looking at me like this?"

"why?"

Yuka raised her eyebrows and for the first time in her life, she was so serious to her best friend: "Why do you say that?"

"Um……"

After Noah pondered for a moment, he clapped his hands lightly and smiled, "Is it because I didn't bring you, Yuuka, to do it with the teacher?"

"Yes, that's right—"

Listening to Noah's words, Yuka nodded subconsciously, but then she realized something was wrong and quickly refuted.

"No! What weird things are you talking about, Noah?"

"Hey~ Does Yuuka really not want to do this or that to the teacher?"

"What's going on?"

Under Noah's teasing, Yuka became a little incoherent for a while because of shyness.

"Noah, are you really not possessed by that Hanako-san from Trinity?"

At this moment, a familiar voice came from the side.

"Yuuka, come, have a cup of tea."

"Ah~ Teacher!"

Youxiang looked at Xiyu who was walking towards her with tea. After a brief surprise, she quickly stood up from her chair.

"Don't worry about it, I can do it myself."

"Okay, okay~ Don't worry so much about it now." Xiyu said, raised the corner of her mouth and smiled: "Besides, I have caused you a lot of trouble in the past~"

"It's not a big deal..."

After taking the warm teacup from Xiyu, Youxiang muttered something, then suddenly seemed to remember something and subconsciously widened her eyes.

"Teacher, do you still remember us?"

"Why don't you remember? You are my important students."

Xiyu gave Youxiang a matter-of-fact look in return.

"Although it was a little confusing at first, now I can almost remember everything about you."

"It's better to say that those memories have never been forgotten, but have been buried deep in the brain."

Xi Yu said, poking his temple with his finger: "I guess it's that guy called Heifu who is causing trouble again..."

"The guy called Black Suit?"

Noah keenly noticed the difference in Xiyu's words: "Teacher, don't you remember Heifu and the others?"

"—"

After realizing her slip of the tongue, Xiyu subconsciously thought that something was wrong.

He wanted to find some words to make amends, but looking at the mailbox and Noah's familiar eyes, he finally gave in.

"Well, I really can't remember."

"To be precise, I don't have many memories about Kivotos right now."

"So far, the only memories that have begun to recover are Yuuka and Noah."
