Azure Files, the starting point of all miracles

"The teacher's embrace now belongs to the princess~☆"

With a tough attitude, Weihua occupied Xiyu's thigh.

After that, Kikyo and Kazusa occupied Xiyu's two arms respectively.

As for Ruozao, who was not as flexible as the previous ones, she could only sit next to Kikyo with reluctance: if she was not afraid of causing trouble for the teacher, she would have probably gone crazy long ago.

As for Jing, she was so elegant from beginning to end.

Of course, that doesn't mean she doesn't care about the teacher.

But for her, today she has already gained a lot - holding the broken sword handed to her by Xiyu in her hand, Jing seemed to be able to feel the breath of the former Xiyu lingering on it.

Unconsciously, the girl's breathing seemed to become heavier.

Is it an illusion?

Xiyu looked at Jing suspiciously, and when she found that there was nothing abnormal about her, she swallowed her doubts.

This weapon is, after all, just an ordinary sword. It has no special powers and no glorious past.

After his careful treatment and maintenance, the filth of the past no longer exists.

Therefore, it will not have any impact on Jing's body.

Thinking of this, Xiyu felt relieved.

Maybe it's really my illusion.

If you think about it, how could a child as elegant as Jing do something like that, panting towards her own sword?

Hmm~

Chapter 59: A story from the past, the rain of death that destroyed everything

In fact, I was not as good as I am now at the beginning.

——Mo Xiyu, a teacher who is loved by students, said so.

Now, after some tinkering on his part, this memory of the past was presented to the girls without reservation.

Through the clear screen, the first thing that came into view was a dark scene, and then the vision gradually became clear, and the girls were able to see the things in front of them clearly -

"Is this a cave?" Hesha said subconsciously.

"No, it's more like the interior of some kind of building than a cave."

Kikyo also spoke at this time, and she corrected Kazusa's statement: "However, because the environment is severely damaged, it looks like a cave."

"What exactly is this place?"

As the question came up, a man's voice came from the front.

[Am I still alive? ]

【……Why? 】

[I am just a person who has nothing...]

[Why... am I still able to survive? ]

Although the voice sounded weak, the girls immediately recognized the owner of the voice based on their memories. It was the teacher beside them.

"Teacher Xiyu!?"

Hesa and the others could not imagine that the person in the picture was actually their familiar teacher.

The reason is not the weakness of the sound, but the emptiness and nothingness revealed in the sound.

But then, they all felt as if something was grabbing their hearts.

Ruo Zao even pounced directly towards Xiyu.

"teacher--!"

"No matter what happens, Ruozao will always be by your side!"

"So—so—"

"Teacher, although I don't know what happened in the past, you can't have such thoughts now!" Hesha warned with a serious face.

"Teacher... don't leave... stay within my sight, stay where I can feel your body temperature..." This is Kikyo.

"teacher!"

Weihua, like Ruozao, hugged Xiyu tightly.

Among the people present, only Jing managed to remain calm, but the arm holding the hilt of the sword was shaking slightly, revealing her inner feelings at the moment.

Looking at these nervous children, Xiyu felt moved but also inexplicably embarrassed.

Is this what it feels like to have someone else exposed to your dark history?

This is really...

Only after Xiyu comforted them one by one and assured them that she would never have such thoughts again did the girls calm down a little.

However, they seem to be even more attached to Xiyu than before...

At the same time, the face of the owner of the voice was shown on the screen in front of them: even though the girls had expected it, they still felt distressed by the scene before them.

Empty, void.

I can't find any meaning in living.

This is the feeling that Xiyu in the picture gives them.

Seeing that the children were about to explode again, Xiyu quickly explained: "This is all because of some childhood experiences. Now I'm fine!"

"After all, with lovely children like you around, no matter how huge the void in my heart is, it has already been filled~"

“So, I am really grateful and I like you all very much.”

“You are all my important students, thank you for letting me be your teacher.”

After Xiyu's heartfelt words, the girls' original worries were replaced by shyness.

Kazusa: This...this kind of words, could it be a confession!?

Kikyo: ...

Jing: Teacher... I guessed correctly that I should thank you...

Mika: Is it a confession? Definitely a confession! Princesses and princes are supposed to be together~~

Ruozao: I like it, ...

Looking at these girls with different expressions, Xiyu felt relaxed but also inexplicably had a sense of crisis.

But, that's probably an illusion.

After this interruption, the scene on the screen moved forward a lot.

When the girls looked at the screen again, Xiyu in the picture had already met a strange-looking being.

"This thing... is a bit disgusting." Kazusa expressed her most straightforward opinion.

It’s no wonder that she reacted like that. After all, the “creature” in the picture at this moment did make people feel physically uncomfortable.

"Is it a monster...? No, is it a human?"

Compared to Kasa, Kikyo observed more carefully.

After deducing the creature's origin through its limbs and approximate skeleton, Kikyo looked at the teacher with an inquiring look.

"Teacher, what on earth is this——"

"Kikyou, you're right, this is a human."

The scene in front of him evoked Xiyu's past memories. After sorting out his emotions, the young man said leisurely: "A sudden rain of death brought endless destruction to this country."

"Wherever it goes, no grass grows. The moment you come into contact with it, you will be infected by the 'filth' and gradually degenerate into a 'filthy ghost'."

"Filthy ghost... is this the being in the picture?"

Kikyo murmured, her eyes returning to the screen.

At the same time, Weihua's cheers were heard.

"Oh! The teacher is so handsome!"

"You beat that guy!"

"Mmmmm~"

"I can't believe the teacher is so good~"

Kazusa also expressed her own feelings at this time.

Like Weihua, she watched how Xiyu in the picture eliminated the enemy with clean and efficient means.

"Not only that, it seems that the teachers in the past were quite strong."

"Of course~" Xiyu raised her head proudly: "I'm very brave~"

"Uh...teacher?"

"Ahem~ It's nothing, nothing, I just said it out of inspiration."

Kazusa: “…”

While the two were joking with each other, Xiyu on the screen also defeated many enemies one after another.

Soon, he came into a room.

Through the screen, the girls saw the scene in the center of the room - it was a large bed, which had an indescribable beauty compared to the dilapidated scenery around it.

A girl in a white dress lay quietly on the big bed, as if she was sheltered in an utopia far away from the world, with a peaceful sleeping expression on her fair face that was not stained by filth.

An encounter in destiny.

At this moment, these words kept popping up in the minds of Weihua and others.

No reason.

There is no reason.

Everything happened without any warning.

Just like the meeting of the two people in the picture.

Chapter 60: The teacher is injured again? You did a great job, Himari!

Two minutes ago—

【Where is this place? 】

What are these monsters?

[Is this some new rule? ]

[However, I didn’t see anything related to “rules”…]

Along the way, Xiyu's voice continued to be heard from the screen. Although she never spoke during the whole process, after Xiyu's own explanation, Weihua and the others understood that this was Xiyu's inner voice at the time.

Compared to this, what they care more about is what Xiyu said on the screen.

"Rules? What are those?" Weihua blinked her eyes. Her silly look with wings flapping gently behind her made her look indescribably adorable.

"It's a weird rule."

Ruo Zao looked at her with some disdain.

"Didn't the teacher say that on the screen?"

"I know it's a weird talk about rules, so what are the rules?"

Ruo Zao: “…”

Watching the two people's irrelevant conversation, Xiyu couldn't help but chuckle and said, "This is actually something a little further along."
