Azure Files, the starting point of all miracles

It was the look a mother would have when she saw the unexpected private side of her child (fog).

"Yuu...Yuuka?! Noah? When did you come?"

If it were any other time, Xiyu would have said something like, "It feels so good" when seeing Yuxiang's eyes at this moment.

But now, in this embarrassing moment when she was discovered while hiding to sing, the only option Xiyu could think of was to hide in the closet.

At the same time, Yuka also took a step towards him.

"Teacher, you finally noticed us."

"You sang very well. I didn't expect you to have a hidden trick up your sleeve~"

Yuka was very happy. It was one thing to be able to discover the unknown side of her teacher.

Of course, there is another reason, which is that up to now, whenever I have been with the teacher, I have always been "suppressed" and "teased" by this adult.

Now that she has finally taken the initiative, Yuka must win back the game no matter what!

Noah, seeing Yuka's rare initiative, smiled and stood aside. He did not choose to speak, but took out the notebook he carried with him and began to record seriously.

[x month x day, sunny, 08:40:35 am]

[We found Teacher Xiyu secretly singing in hiding, and Yuxiang took the initiative for once. 】

-

Just as Noah began his usual secretary work, Yuka's attack continued: "Teacher, why did you stop?"

"You're singing so beautifully, how can I not continue?"

"Um...Yuuka..."

As Yuxiang pressed closer and closer, the distance between them kept getting closer: under close contact, Xiyu smelled the unique fragrance of the girl.

Although Yuka herself was not aware of it, the distance between them had reached a very dangerous point.

As long as someone gives Youxiang a gentle push from behind, Xiyu can hold her soft body in his arms.

"Hmm~ Teacher?"

"Yuuka——"

Perhaps his rhythm was disrupted at the beginning by Yuka's sudden intrusion and relentless pressure, but Xiyu was an adult who had "experienced many battles" after all. After spending some time adjusting his state, he quickly found a way to break the deadlock.

He took the initiative to greet Yuuka who was approaching him, put his nose against her head and sniffed gently.

Yuka: “?!”

"teacher!?"

"Yuuka...it smells good. Did you use a new shampoo?"

In front of Yuxiang who was stunned, Xiyu took a step back and gave her a thumbs up: "It feels so good~"

“Xixixixixixi——Teacher Yu!”

High attack and low defense, perhaps this is the most appropriate way to describe Yuka now.

Although she had experienced similar situations many times in the past, she was always defeated by this method without exception.

"You are an adult! You are a teacher! How can you do such a thing to your students?"

"That's terrible! Pervert! You must never do this to others again, understand?"

Yuka spoke in a high voice, but before she knew it, she began to become shy: "After all, except for me, no one will allow you to do this kind of thing, teacher."

"Yes, yes, yes~ I understand, Yuka's mother!"

"Yu-Yuuka's mother!?"

Suddenly, there seemed to be a popping sound.

It was the sound of steam bursting.

Where is the water boiling?

It turned out to be Hayase Yuuka.

The lovely girl's face was flushed at this moment, and she didn't know where to put her hands, which showed that she had been put into a "death gate" by the teacher.

If the past pace continues, Yuxiang will probably be completely "controlled" by Xiyu soon.

But unfortunately, Yuka wasn't the only one who came to Xialai today.

And Noah!

"X month X day, sunny, 08:42:03 in the morning."

"Teacher Xiyu called Xiao Youxiang "Mom~"

"?!"

The sudden words brought Xiyu's thoughts back to reality.

Yuka was also brought back to her senses along with him.

At this moment, both of them looked at Noah at the same time.

This scene fell into Noah's eyes, and made him smile again.

"x month x day, sunny, 08:42:10 am"

"Yuuka and the teacher showed a rapport that was like a married couple."

"No-ah!"

After seeing Noah quickly write down the record in his notebook, Yuuka reacted and immediately jumped up and ran towards her and said, "Stop writing!"

"Oh, no, because I'm the secretary of the seminar and I'm responsible for recording every day's intelligence and information. That's my job."

"What kind of job is it to record the private lives of my teacher and I? And, husband and wife... I... We are not husband and wife!"

"x month x day, sunny, 08:42:22 am"

"Yuuka-chan is being arrogant again, even though she's so happy~"

"No-ah!"

The unique youthful vigor of the girls, together with their laughter and joy, created a harmonious picture.

Seeing all this, Xiyu couldn't help but smile gently.

Having experienced a lot of sadness and separation in the past, all of this now is undoubtedly an invaluable treasure to him.

On a peaceful day, the scattered silhouettes of time are like a beautiful kaleidoscope.

Isn't everything I have done so far just to protect the smiles of these children?

He thought so and quietly stepped aside.

Now, it's time for me to prepare a cup of steaming hot milk tea for them~

However, just as Xiyu turned around, a white note quietly slipped out of his pocket.

Before Xiyu could react, the sharp-eyed Youxiang noticed it immediately, stopped interacting with Noah, and quickly walked over to pick up the "note".

When Yuka saw clearly what was written on it, the expression on her face changed from surprise to complaint.

"teacher--!"

"What's going on with this bill? Why did you secretly buy model toys again?!"

Xiyu: “?!”

No, it’s a rare chance for me to show off my coolness, but can it really only last three seconds?

Chapter 3: Help me, Noah’s mother!

"Teacher Xiyu, you are an adult now. You should be more serious about your financial management."

"How can you indulge your desires like an immature child?"

"You are so reliable at the critical moment..."

Incessant chatter and continuous sermons.

If it were someone else or somewhere else, Xiyu would probably have become impatient long ago.

But for some reason, the girl in front of him looked very serious.

Xiyu had never felt this way before.

Even to some extent, I feel it is quite enjoyable? !

*Am I a masochist? !

At this moment, a terrible idea popped up in Xiyu's mind.

But before all this began to spread, Yuuka's words brought him back to reality: "I say, teacher, are you listening?"

"Really? We're in the middle of a lecture, don't look anywhere else."

"I know, Yuuka-san!"

"Oh my god, Teacher Xiyu!!"

After hearing Xiyu say this, Youxiang's face, which had just returned to normal, turned red again.

On the other side, Noah silently watched the interaction between the two. While maintaining his usual smile on his face, his heart was not as uneasy as he appeared to be.

I can clearly see Yuuka's interesting reaction.

I can clearly see that the teacher is interesting.

Being able to see these should be a very happy thing for me.

But, this feeling in my heart...

"..."

When Noah came to his senses, he found that the hand that was responsible for recording had stopped at some point.

His hands, tightly holding a pen and a notebook, were folded over his chest, as if he was suppressing his throbbing heart.

In the end, the girl couldn't completely deceive herself.

-

I'm sorry, Yuuka.

I'm going to... break the rules a little bit...

Just a little bit is fine.

Just a little bit...the teacher can also take a look at me...

-

Noah thought so and took a step towards where the two were.

After hearing the footsteps coming from the side, Yuka gradually came out of her state.

"Noah, you have something to say too."

"The teacher always spends money recklessly, so that at the end of each month he can only live on instant noodles."

"Such a lifestyle will harm his body sooner or later."

Yes.

Just as Yuuka herself said.

What she cared about was not so much that Xiyu spent money recklessly, but rather that Xiyu's reckless spending led to insufficient food expenses, and ultimately he had to rely on instant noodles and other junk food to survive, which was an unhealthy lifestyle.

After Xiyu's injury in the "Eden Treaty" incident and Xiyu's near death on the space station in the "Atrahasis Ark Raiders", Yuka has obviously become more concerned about her teacher's physical health and safety.

Noah did not answer Yuuka's words immediately. Instead, he looked at the teacher and smiled slightly, "What should I do? Teacher, Yuuka looks really angry."

"I know, I was wrong. I swear I will hide the bills next time - no, I will never spend money recklessly!"
