Azure Files, the starting point of all miracles

As for Yuka, she simply didn't think too much about it.

After all, she was still a little worried—

"Well, is it really okay?"

"To do something like this in Chalais..."

In the eyes of the serious Yuka, Xia Lai is a place where teachers work and are used for entertainment...

Perhaps noticing Yuka's worry, the teacher couldn't help but comfort her.

"Don't worry, Yuuka."

"The Federal Student Union won't care about this kind of thing."

In fact it is.

Xialai is not only where the teacher works, but also where he lives.

There are not only office areas here, but also rest areas for living, training rooms for exercising, convenience stores for purchasing daily necessities, and game centers for entertainment.

Even on weekdays, many students would come to Xialai to play with their teachers.

Including but not limited to "playing games", "eating", "bathing", "sleeping", etc.

"teacher?!"

Listening to Noah's story, Yuka couldn't help but widen her eyes: "So Xia Lai can do so many things?!"

"That's right, Yuuka, don't you know?"

Noah blinked his smart eyes, and Yuuka's appearance was outlined in his gem-like transparent pupils: "Oh~ I understand."

"It must be our little Yuuka who usually attracts the teacher's attention, right?"

"Noah! Really, stop teasing me!"

Yuka said angrily, her cheeks as red as a ripe fruit, making people want to kiss her.

Chapter 5: The teacher won’t leave anyone behind

"This way, it's done."

Looking at the pile of audio equipment in front of him, Xiyu couldn't help but clapped his hands in satisfaction and thanked the girls beside him: "Yuka, Noah, thank you for your help~"

"But, it's just a small matter, teacher, you don't have to be so polite."

Yuka smiled faintly, but she seemed a little absent-minded.

Was it because of Noah’s previous words?

Usually, students would come to Xialai to play games, eat, take a bath, or even sleep...

If so, who is it?

……

Adolescent girls are sensitive and delicate.

Even Yuuka Hayase, the seminar accountant known as the "Thousand-year-old Cold Calculator", cannot escape this law in front of the person she likes.

Although she usually appears to be businesslike and cold-blooded, she is actually an emotional girl in a rational guise.

However, before Yuka's thoughts could wander, a voice from the side brought her back to reality.

"Yuuka, what are you thinking about? Are you thinking about the teacher?"

With a somewhat naughty smile on his face, Noah leaned close to Yuka's ear and whispered, "--For example, who usually comes to Xialai?"

"……Um."

Caught off guard, Yuka nodded instinctively.

When she came to her senses, Xiyu and Noah were already looking at her with smiles on their faces.

"I... Hey, I'm not -- Teacher -- Noah!!!"

In a state of extreme shame, Yuka's cheeks were burning red and steam seemed to be constantly coming out of her head, like a boiling kettle.

"I'm sorry, Yuuka-chan, but your reaction is just so funny~?"

"Ah, I didn't expect Yuuka to care about me so much. Teacher, I'm very happy~"

"Noah! If you keep going like this I'm going to get mad!"

"Also, teacher! Stop looking at me with a smile on your face!"

What followed was a series of words like “That’s not what I meant” and “Teacher, please don’t misunderstand me.”

For a moment, the whole Xialai was filled with a happy atmosphere.

----

Although there were some fights along the way, the three of them did not forget the next activities.

In fact, Xiyu himself wanted to skip it more or less. After all, singing in front of his students was a bit embarrassing for him.

However, because Noah was standing by, he failed in the end.

Whatever~

Feeling Noah's half-smile in her eyes, Xiyu sighed in her heart and could only take the microphone from her.

What should I sing?

Uh~ Kivotos… fairy tale… Oh, why not just sing one of your favorite songs when you were young.

Xiyu thought so and already had the answer in her heart.

On the other side, Noah brought Yuka back to the sofa.

Seeing Yuuka looking depressed, Noah couldn't help but smile and said, "Yuuka, are you still concerned about the teacher?"

"Noah, I said I didn't--"

Just as Yuka was about to perform some traditional art, she suddenly heard a soft piano sound.

The moment this melody sounded, her eyes were instantly attracted to Xiyu in front of her.

Seeing Yuka's transformation, Noa wanted to start recording as usual, but surrounded by this beautiful melody, she was unable to pick up the pen in the end.

*Teacher Xiyu...

*You are really a "sinful" person...

With a barely perceptible hint of helplessness on his lips, Noah then, like Yuuka, immersed himself in the melody of the song.

At the same time, the prelude of the song had completed its task, and Xiyu's gentle voice began to sound slowly -

"I forgot how long it has been since I last heard from you"

"Tell me your favorite story"

"I thought about it for a long time and started to panic. Did I do something wrong again?"

With the soft accompaniment, Xiyu's singing made the girls' thoughts slowly extend.

Fairy Tale, even though the song title suggests it is a very old-fashioned story, and the lyrics do not have much depth and connotation, but the feeling of telling the emotions is extremely intoxicating and moving.

Noah miscalculated.

She found that she had really miscalculated.

She thought she could maintain her own self in the teacher's singing, but when the melody sounded, she was inevitably immersed in it.

After all, even if Noah had a rational heart, he could not change the delicate and sensitive emotions she possessed.

Perhaps because his usual hobby is reading various poetry collections, Noah was able to immerse himself in the song more quickly and resonate with the singer.

All this further aroused the hidden feelings for her teacher in her heart.

By the time Noah came to his senses, Xiyu's singing had already ended. She looked at the man in front of her and shook her head subconsciously.

I can't indulge in this afterglow any longer...

Something must be done...

With this thought in mind, she looked at the girl next to her.

Hayase Yuuka.

The friend you value most.

As a bystander, Noah saw the emotions in her heart more clearly than anyone else.

Similarly, it was precisely because of all this that she couldn't bear to hurt her best friend, so she chose to hide her emotions and keep a certain distance from the teacher.

So, before Youxiang could react, Noah patted her on the back gently, then took her hand and led her towards where Xiyu was.

"Noah?!"

"Yuuka-chan, the teacher sings beautifully, right?"

"Since the teacher has worked so hard, shouldn't you show some appreciation, Yuuka-chan?"

After Noah said this, he pushed Yuka towards Xiyu in front of him.

"Teacher~ I'm leaving Yuka-chan in your care~"

The music they played together...

I guess he must be very happy.

Looking at the two people standing together in front of him, Noah took a step back without leaving a trace, his lips slightly pursed with a faint smile.

*Yuka-chan~Don't waste this opportunity.

As this thought came to her mind, she turned around and prepared to return to her original audience seat (the sofa).

But before Noah could take a step, she felt someone holding her hand.

"Teacher, Yuuka——"

Looking back at the two of them, Noah was a little surprised.

"What are you—"

"Noah, if I'm going to say something, you should be the same."

At this moment, Yuuka swept away her previous "dejection" and looked at Noah with a smile: "After all, I noticed that you were immersed in the teacher's singing."

Noah: “Eh—”

Before Noah could speak, Xiyu's voice came over: "Youxiang is right."

"It's not just Yuuka, it's the same with you, Noah."

"They are all my students. I won't leave anyone behind."

"Teacher Xiyu..."

Noah stared into Xiyu's eyes. His eyes were as bright as the clear sky, as if they could see through his heart.

For some reason, Noah didn't hate this feeling.

but--

"Teacher, isn't it a bit too unfair for two people to do this together?" Noah's eyes were a little vague.

"Fouls and such, this is the right of adults~"

However, Xiyu did not give her a chance to think: after smiling at each other, he and Youxiang gently pulled Noah over together.

Xiyu: "The world of adults is very despicable."
