Azure Files, the starting point of all miracles

"If what I encountered in this world is the first stop of my journey."

"Then the things related to rule stories are the starting point of my life so far."

"???"

Facing the girls' puzzled and curious gazes, Xiyu smiled mysteriously at them and then put her finger to her lips.

"Let's talk about these things later."

After hearing what he said, even though the children were filled with curiosity, they finally suppressed it.

In addition, there is another reason, which is that Xiyu’s performance on the current screen is really too eye-catching: neat skills and a handsome and cool figure.

Of course, the most important thing is that all of this comes from their favorite teacher!

"But the more I look at it, the more incredible it seems."

"How did a teacher who used to be so cold and aloof become someone as warm as the sun now?"

Facing Hesha's subconscious words, Xiyu teased intentionally or unintentionally: "About this, it's probably the same reason why Lady Cathy Paluge became a good woman~"

Kazusa: “!”

Although Hesha didn't show anything on the surface, Xiyu could still feel that she seemed to be using some strength in holding her hand.

Xiyu just smiled slightly at Hesha's cute girlish behavior and didn't pay any more attention to it.

Everyone fell into a brief silence.

Until, the two people's "fateful encounter" appeared on the screen.

"A child who doesn't remember anything?"

Listening to what the white-haired girl on the screen said, everyone showed surprised expressions.

A person who is powerless and has forgotten everything can actually be safe and sound in a place full of monsters.

This is very unusual no matter how you look at it.

In fact, Xiyu on the screen also noticed this.

However, he seems to have some different ideas now——

[Monster...white-haired girl...could this be——Lily of the End? ]

[Have I actually come to a different world? ]

[And it’s a world in the game? ]

[This is too ridiculous... But if you think about it carefully, it is understandable. ]

[After all, in the original world, I was already torn to pieces by ‘it’…]

As memories flashed through his mind, a picture like this flashed across the screen in front of him—a mountain shrouded in a strange shadow.

A young man had his limbs removed, and his intestines kept flowing out of his torn abdomen, soaking the ground with warm blood.

In front of him, a distorted human-shaped shadow was being pressed to the ground by a person whose entire body was wrapped in light.

This picture seems to be announcing the end of everything.

But even so, the lost lives cannot be restored...

-

Back to reality, although the picture only appeared for a brief moment, it was still captured by the girls with sharp reactions.

At this moment, unprecedented panic enveloped their hearts.

It was the first time they saw Xiyu in such a miserable state.

Especially Weihua - even in the Eden Treaty incident, Xiyu's injuries were not as serious as shown in the picture.

Not only were his limbs broken, his abdomen ripped open, but even his facial features were—

"teacher!"

"Unforgivable! Unforgivable!!!"

A scream followed by a roar that spread throughout the room.

It turned out to be Ruo Zao.

After seeing what happened just now, she felt as if a nerve in her brain was broken.

The madness that followed almost drove her into a complete frenzy.

However, perhaps because of Xiyu's presence by her side, Ruo Zao was able to barely maintain the last bit of her sanity.

"Teacher...Teacher...Dear, who is it?"

"Who on earth made you like that?"

"Please tell Ruo Zao, please, please tell Ruo Zao!"

"Ruo Zao will definitely seek justice for you!"

There was an anxious expression on Ruozao's face, and because of the influence of her emotions, a trace of damage inevitably appeared on her delicate face.

Not only her, the other children were not much better.

Looking at the messy scene in front of him, Xiyu's expression froze.

To be honest, he had never expected that the memory projection would actually show the scene of him helping the 'Mountain God' fight 'it'.

This was one of the few embarrassing scenes in his life so far.

Just as Xiyu was about to explain to the five nervous girls in front of him, Xiyu suddenly seemed to think of something and hurriedly spoke to the computer not far away.

"Himari, you're looking at me, right!?"

The words came without any warning, causing everyone to fall into a brief daze.

But then, a sudden voice responded to Xiyu's question.

"As expected of you, teacher, I can't escape your sight~"

"It's just a feeling..."

Xiyu said to Hikari, who was at the millennium, through the device that was monitoring the situation here: "Compared to this, can you please help me keep an eye on the Ministry of Truth?"

"Because I don't want to have to explain myself to all of Kivotos because of Maki's 'carelessness' again."

"This is just a small matter. Please leave it to me, a thousand-year-old flower~"

"In fact, not long ago, Maki-chan was so surprised that she sent out a group message."

"However, fortunately, I was well prepared and was able to intercept the message at the critical moment."

Xiyu: “…”

Should we say that everything was within his expectations?

However, thanks to Hinami's presence, the situation didn't get out of control like it did yesterday.

*It seems that I have to find some time to thank this child.

*But before that——

Xiyu withdrew his gaze and looked at the girls in front of him again.

* Let me explain it to them first...

Chapter 61: Unreserved Trust

Although I anticipated that such a thing might happen, I still couldn't help feeling tired when I really needed to deal with it.

The love of students... it's unexpectedly heavy~

Fortunately, after Xiyu's explanation and the fact that he was indeed fine, the girls' excitement gradually subsided.

Of course, after calming down, some things that were previously ignored came to my mind again.

"Teacher, if I remember correctly, you seemed to have said before that this is a game world?"

Looking at Xiyu who was communicating with the white-haired girl in the screen, Kikyo reminded him intentionally or unintentionally in reality.

"You could say that, but that's not accurate either."

“Although I do have such a game in my original world, the place I am in on the screen at this moment is undoubtedly real.”

"There is a more reliable theory about this, which is that the information of the world leaked out and was recognized by people in another world through dreams or inspiration, and then it was presented in the form of games or novels."

"Just like we are now, maybe you are all characters in a game in another world, and I am a character in a novel~"

"But you don't need to worry too much about this."

“Perhaps in other worlds we are just a virtual existence, but in the world we live in right now, everything we experience and feel is undoubtedly real.”

"Cherish everything you have now, that's enough."

Among these girls, Kikyo and the eavesdropping Hinami are the smartest.

After hearing the teacher's initial words, they did inevitably have some random thoughts for a while.

Fortunately, after being enlightened by their teacher, they both recovered quickly.

"There is nothing to worry about in the world, only mediocre people worry about it...?"

Kikyo murmured, and after taking a deep breath of the teacher's scent, she felt much calmer.

"It's me who's been left behind..."

"thank you teacher."

"It's okay, Kikyo, don't worry too much."

"Let's move on from this."

After Xiyu gestured to the screen in front of them, everyone once again returned to the "movie watching" state -

----

----

[Lily of the End... Another World...]

[If my memory is correct, then the person in front of me must be the last clone of the White Witch. ]

[But wasn't it the Black Knight who came to wake her up? ]

【Why me? 】

[Could it be that my time travel brought about some butterfly effect? ​​]

[If time travel can be explained by the protection of the ‘mountain god’, then everything at the moment——]

[Forget it. Without sufficient information, imagining things will only lead to imprisonment...]

[Besides, I don’t have any regrets anymore…]

With this thought in mind, when Xiyu on the screen was about to leave, something strange happened again - those monsters that shouldn't have set foot here somehow broke in.

In this brief moment, Xiyu keenly captured the helplessness on the girl's face: So, he moved.

His body reacted instinctively, raising the sword in his hand faster than his consciousness could control it.

In just a few rounds, all the attacking monsters were killed.

After doing all this, Xiyu put the sword back into the sheath and looked at the girl again.

Perhaps it was because she was protected by him, this girl as pure as a lily looked at Xiyu with eyes full of trust and reliance, except for the emptiness of amnesia.

Xiyu felt all this and frowned slightly in dissatisfaction.

[Do you...remember what happened? ]

He couldn't help but ask this question.

Even though he already knew the answer, he still asked.

As for the result——
