Azure Files, the starting point of all miracles

As Xiao Zi said this, her cute face showed an unprecedented seriousness: and her words also attracted the attention of the girls.

In response, Xiyu smiled awkwardly. When she was about to say something, she felt something very soft pressing on her back.

"Teacher~"

"Hanako?!"

"Can you agree to Xiaozi's request?"

As Hanako spoke, she gently embraced Xiyu's head with her hands: "I know that you have always valued us, teacher, but we also have the same feelings."

"After going through so much, and changing our bodies into something that we can't live without you, you're still so willful."

"If you keep going like this, what will happen? Hanako, I can't guarantee it, ok~?"

Hanako said this with a smile, and after finishing the last sentence, she deliberately blew a breath into Xiyu's ear.

It was clearly warm with a hint of ambiguity, but to Xiyu, there was an inexplicable chill.

Hanako turned into a yandere?

Ha~ I must not have woken up yet.

After complaining a few words in his heart, Xiyu turned his attention back to reality.

"Well...actually, all this is really not as serious as everyone thinks."

"teacher!"

At this moment, not only Xiaozi, but also the other children surrounded them.

*I didn't expect that even Hifumi...

Looking at these girls with cold eyes, Xiyu was at a loss and could only place his hope on the only good child left at the scene.

"Mary, that—"

However, the next second, Xiyu saw a pair of misty eyes.

The innocent girl's eyes reveal a charm that is contrary to her pure temperament, and now all of this is displayed vividly under the mist.

"Teacher...I'm sorry, but I'm afraid Mary can't meet your expectations."

"Because I am still far less mature than Sakurako and the others."

Seeing what Xiyu was thinking, Mary just shook her head gently.

Speaking of which, this was the first time in her history that she clearly rejected Xiyu's request.

"I understand that you want us students to be happy."

"But if all this is based on sacrificing you, I would rather not have such happiness."

Mary was a very gentle child.

But now, even she has shown her tough side.

But will Xiyu really compromise?

the answer is negative.

Protecting these children is not only his responsibility as an adult, but also his obligation as a teacher.

So, should we deceive them?

Obviously, Xiyu did not forget to do so.

Thinking about it now, it's really distressing...

*How did that guy in black clothes leak this information?

Speaking of the secret art of numbers, when the colors invaded, Xiyu thought they were either dead, crazy, or escaped~

Now it seems that not only are they all alive and well, but they are also causing trouble for themselves as always.

*Yeah~ just like Xiaoqiang.

After complaining a little about a certain black-cored egg in his heart, Xiyu changed his helpless expression and his eyes became serious.

No matter what, now that things have come to this, I should respond to these children in front of me.

"About the adult's card——"

Everyone: "..."

Under their gaze, Xiyu pondered for a while and finally gave an answer that left none of them satisfied.

"I'm very sorry."

"No one can predict the future. I don't intend to deceive you all and not use adult cards or anything like that. Uh, I can't do that."

"but--"

Seeing that the girls were about to get excited again, Xiyu quickly spoke before them: "I can assure you that I will not use it easily unless it is absolutely necessary."

Having said that, the corners of his mouth curved up again.

"After all, to be honest, I can't bear to be separated from you lovely students~"

"This is the only promise I can make to you right now."

"teacher……"

Xiaozi turned her head to look at the teacher, her cute brows slightly wrinkled.

Just as she was about to say something, she was interrupted by Hanako.

"Although I didn't get the desired result, this is almost the same."

"Hanako?"

Hifumi was a little confused.

In response, Hanako shook her head helplessly: "Okay, everyone, I know you all have a lot of questions."

"But... just like how we feel right now, how could a teacher with the same emotions as us really do that?"

"On the contrary, the fact that he is willing to be honest with us instead of lying to us is enough to show the teacher's sincerity."

"In that case, there is no need for us to keep pressing on. This will do no good to any of us."

"As long as we take good care of the teacher in the future~"

As her tone gradually changed, Hanako's face once again showed an ambiguous smile: "Take good care of me in every aspect, inside and outside~?"

Izuna, Momo, and Alice: "?"

Midori & Yuzu & Hifumi & Koharu: "!"

Xiao Zi: Are you taking good care of the teacher? I understand!

Mary: ...I don't want to use weapons at all...but if it's for the teacher...

Xiyu: “…”

"That last sentence is really unnecessary..."

I know this is Hanako's personality, but... I just can't get used to it no matter how many times I face it.

Chapter 106: My students are very "enlightened"

Although they wanted to stay with Xiyu all the time, they considered that the other party would need to rest eventually, so after staying for a while, the students said goodbye when Hanako took the initiative to bring it up.

However, Xiyu was a little worried.

"It's already quite late now, isn't it? Would it be unsafe to go back like this?"

"Haha, thank you for your concern, teacher. If that's the case, you can rest assured."

"Because representatives from various colleges have meetings, we and the accompanying students will all stay overnight in Xialai."

"so--"

At this point, Hanako's eyes narrowed slightly and a hint of ambiguity flashed through them: "If you feel hot all over, you are welcome to come to room XXX to find us~"

Xiyu: “…”

Looking at the crowd that was in a mess again, he rolled his eyes helplessly.

"Okay, okay, since everyone has a room, let's go back and rest."

"Well, Master, we will take our leave now~"

"Well, bye~"

----

----

After saying goodbye to the children, Xiyu's ward fell into silence again.

Looking at the dim ceiling, his attention inevitably shifted to his arms.

It is worth mentioning that his arm, which was severely burned in the afternoon due to the use of the Holy Judgment of Heavenly Fire, has now almost recovered.

This shows the level of Kivotos' medical skills.

Or is it that the little nurse Serina is very capable?

The cute petite figure wearing a nurse's cap flashed through Xiyu's mind.

After thanking the girl in his heart, Xiyu's thoughts immediately drifted to another matter.

Arius team and fox team.

If there is anything that concerns him at the moment, besides Hina and Mika who have touched upon the lofty ideals, it is the students of these two teams.

After what happened in the afternoon, their contributions were enough to erase the resentment that other students had towards them.

Maybe there will still be some left after this, but Xiyu believes that with the passage of time, all of this will eventually disappear.

What I need to do is to seriously serve as their guide (teacher).

So, what should we do specifically?

While thinking, Xiyu's consciousness began to become blurred.

Not sure if it was because his vitality was too severely depleted or if he was really tired, but Xiyu's consciousness became increasingly blurred in the dim room.

Finally, he fell asleep peacefully in the silence.

----

----

The heavy stone weighing on her heart was now somewhat removed, allowing Xiyu to sleep more soundly.

That night, he never woke up in the middle of the night again.

Until the next day, the first ray of morning sunlight passed through the horizon, and dawn embraced the earth with its warm embrace.

Xiyu also slowly opened her eyes amidst a faint fragrance.

*Is this... the second day?

*I don’t know how the meeting for those kids went…

Although he felt that there was no need to make such a fuss just for one person, it was still a way for Xiyu to care about his students, so he finally accepted it calmly.

Just as he was about to get up from the bed, a familiar voice came from the side.

"Teacher, are you awake?"

This voice——

Xiyu blinked. As a teacher, he didn't need to look. Just by the voice, he recognized his student's identity immediately.

"Is that Sakurako?"

Trinity Academy, third year, leader of the Sisters' Order, Sakurako Utazumi.

——Just as Xiyu judged.

On the other hand, Sakurako couldn't help feeling happy when she saw that the teacher recognized her identity at the first moment even though he was in a drowsy state after just waking up.

"Yes, teacher."

"I am Sakurako Utazumi from the Sisters of Trinity Academy. May peace always be with you."
