Azure Files, the starting point of all miracles

"It's just that I'm dealing with Xialai's affairs with you. For a dazzling combat staff, this level is nothing more than a piece of cake."

"It is you who—"

As the subject changed, Kikyo's eyes became sharp again.

"You've always acted like you were taking such good care of us. What on earth do you expect?"

"To get money? To recruit manpower? Or, are you simply attracted by this body?"

After saying this, looking at Xiyu who seemed like she was about to explain something, Kikyo suddenly laughed.

She smiled lightly and put her fingers on Xiyu's lips.

"It's just a joke, I know that."

"Teacher, you don't have such dirty thoughts. You are different from other adults."

"You're just a nice, dumb guy."

"You want to be able to be a support for us students and help us."

"I don't intend to deny this now. It is a fact that I rely on you, so we have agreed that you should rely on me even more."

After saying this series of words in one breath, Kikyo finally gave the right to speak back to Xiyu.

"So, teacher, what's your answer?"

"..."

Xiyu looked at Kikyo in front of her and was speechless for a moment.

To be precise, I never took the initiative from the very beginning.

I have always been led by Kikyo.

but--

how to say?

This feeling is not unpleasant.

Finally, as the thought came to an end, a relieved smile appeared on Xiyu's face.

"I really lost to you, Kikyo."

"Okay, in that case, I'll leave the rest to you."

"Isn't that natural?"

After getting the answer she wanted, the seriousness on Kikyo's face disappeared at this moment, just like a melting snow mountain, revealing the bright red color unique to the flowers underneath.

However, before Kikyo's gentle expression could last for a few seconds, Xiyu's next action made her frown slightly again.

"Teacher, where are you going?"

"!?"

The forked cat tail behind Kikyo wrapped around Xiyu's arm the moment it noticed that Xiyu stood up from his seat.

And Kikyo looked over again.

"Don't disappear quietly, stay within my sight, within the reach of my body temperature..."

"I won't leave."

After comforting Kikyo somewhat helplessly, Xiyu gestured to the teacup in her hand.

"I was just thinking of getting you a drink, Kikyo."

"What would you like? Tea or coffee?"

"Of course, there are also juice and other things."

"Do you take me for a child?"

After hearing what Xiyu said, Kikyo realized that her attitude was a bit too radical, so she retracted her tail and subconsciously put her hands on her cheeks, trying to cover up the blush on her face.

"Tea will be fine."

"Understood~It will be done soon."

"..."

In this way, Xiyu skillfully took out a teacup for Kikyo and began to prepare tea for her.

However, during this process, Xiyu always felt as if someone was watching him from behind.

But when I turned around, I saw Kikyo was processing documents seriously and not looking at this side.

So... is it an illusion?!

Xiyu blinked, a little confused.

----

----

"Kikyo, the black tea is here~"

"Thank you. I'll just leave it here."

Because she was processing documents, Kikyo was temporarily unable to greet the guests. Xiyu was very considerate and placed the teacup within Kikyo's reach.

However, as soon as he sat down, his abdomen was entangled by two flexible tails.

Looking at Kikyo, who had a calm face and no reaction to his behavior, Xiyu raised his eyebrows.

"Um, Kikyo-san?"

"...?"

"what happened?"

Kikyo asked without even looking up.

Xiyu: “…”

"Teacher, please work hard."

"……All right."

Seeing that the girl had no intention of moving her tail away in the short term, Xiyu had no choice but to give up the idea.

And, how to say it?

Kikyo's tail is soft, and it's quite comfortable to be wrapped around her~

?(???)?

Chapter 50: Another Cat?!

Should we say that he is worthy of being the advisor of the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons?

With the addition of Kikyo, Xiyu's work efficiency increased several times: in just half an hour, the two of them almost completed half a day's work.

After putting down a processed document, Xiyu moved his wrist and exclaimed subconsciously.

"Kikyo is really amazing. She can handle these tasks so quickly and accurately."

"Thank you so much."

“It’s not something to be praised for.”

Compared with the teacher's easy-going attitude, Kikyo looked cold from beginning to end, as if their relationship was not as close as it seemed at the beginning.

Of course, the premise is to ignore Kikyo's tail that is tightly wrapped around Xiyu~

"Although it is Xia Lai's job, it is essentially not much different from the work of the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons."

"They are all similar chores, so it's natural for me to handle them with ease."

Kikyo said as she put down the document in her hand.

"Of course, if you really want to thank me, teacher—"

The girl paused for a moment.

She turned her head, and with the corners of her mouth raised, a smile as pure and elegant as gentian appeared on her face.

But before Kikyo could finish her words, a knock on the door interrupted her.

Platycodon: "..."

Although there was no change in Kikyo's expression, Xiyu could keenly perceive that Kikyo's mood began to change.

Who will come to visit at this time?

Not spent?

No, Weihua is still sleeping now.

Moreover, if it was really Mika, she would have already punched the door open instead of knocking on it...

Ah ha ha……

A similar thought flashed through Xiyu's mind, and just as he was about to ask, the girl outside the door revealed her identity.

"Teacher, it's me."

"Kyoyama Kazusa."

"Excuse me, are you in there?"

"It's Kazusa~"

Xiyu suddenly realized.

"I'm here, come in quickly."

Platycodon: "..."

Kazusa: "Thank you. Sorry to bother you then."

There is a hint of joy in the adolescent girl's energetic words.

The girl named Xingshan Hesha pushed the door and walked in after getting Xiyu's response.

For this lovely high school girl, being able to meet the person she likes is the happiest thing.

However, Hesha's mood quickly changed into something else after she pushed the door open.

Because at this moment, in addition to Xiyu, there was also a pair of dark eyes reflected in her eyes.

Kiryu Kikyo: “…”

This staff officer of the One Hundred Demons Night Parade remained silent after hearing Kazusa's voice.

Nothing was reflected in those deep eyes, and no one knew what she was thinking at this moment.

As for Kasa, the moment she saw Kikyo, her eyebrows couldn't help but raise.

*Are you today's duty student?

When I come to see the teacher, I have seen students on duty from other colleges.

With Hesha's personality, even if she couldn't get along well with every one of them, at least it was just ordinary.

But, today - today when I saw this unknown black-haired cat-eared girl!

Hesha inexplicably developed a feeling.

I'm afraid...

I can't get along well with this guy...

Kazusa: “…”

Platycodon: "..."
