Please stop persecuting your students!

"That's about it. I don't understand the reason myself. Anyway, when I came to my senses, I had already left my own world, and then I met Nia."

"Well, that's about it."

Nia nodded, affirming without any burden - that's right, it's just missing a few details, but is that important? Not important! After simply calming down Baihu, this lively catwoman kicked off her shoes, sat cross-legged at the end of the bed, and stared straight at Saki with her bright eyes.

Tell stories, tell stories!

The whole look was like someone waiting to be told a story, except for the modern theater outfit of popcorn, happy watermelon, and so on. The gaze that was more direct and curious than those casual words made Saki feel uncomfortable. After thinking for a moment, he said leisurely:

"It all started with the Big Bang..."

Nia: “???????”

I'm fucking direct?

Is this what I want to hear? Why don’t you tell me the truth about your life in the past twenty years, you bastard teacher!

......

Although there had been prior communication, neither the Chamber of Commerce nor Ira had expected to find the target so easily. The two sides were almost on time. Ira's people arrived in the morning, and Lex arrived at the Chamber of Commerce a few hours later. Under the offensive of money power, there were not many mistakes. The two sides could be said to have hit it off.

It went very smoothly, and the result of that was that it would take some time for the salvage ship to be ready. After all, it was a rare large-scale salvage project, and considering the problems that might be encountered along the way, we naturally had to be fully prepared.

In this regard, Chamber of Commerce President Barn did not say anything, and Ira, the financial sponsor, did not say anything either. In their eyes, everyone who was about to board the salvage ship...

They are all the same as dead people.

Of course, no one was aware of this, including Puning, a member of the Nopon tribe who was one of the negotiators on board the Uzushio as a supervisor.

Anyway, it’s 6:15 pm on the fifth day of the trip to the netherworld.

The exact date is unknown. Although this world also uses 365 days as a year and 24 hours as a day, most people do not care about dates.

They work from sunrise to sunset and rest from sunset to sunrise, but for the sailors and salvagers who stay on the salvage ship for a long time, the schedule is even more chaotic.

Here, Saki talked about everything from the Big Bang to the Renaissance, and finally came to a temporary halt to the task of memorizing history books under Nia's increasingly ticklish gaze - don't look at him like this, he is still a liberal arts student after all, and although he has already given back a lot, he can still say something.

Anyway, under the gaze of a catwoman who was about to go crazy but had to endure it, Saki stopped reciting with a sense of unfulfilled desire, packed up his things and came to the deck, and stepped into this spaceship that was hung under a medium-sized Arus like a hot air balloon basket before the last batch of equipment was transported aboard, staring at several black boiled eggs. The captain, who had eaten a dose of Saki's hypnosis at noon and seemed to be still affected by it, stood aside and introduced:

"This time the guests are quite special, so I specially found these two here as temporary guards. Although they are young, they are already experienced fighters. You should cooperate with each other well."

'Temporary guard...'

The original guards of the Uzushio looked at the two people and the tiger in front of them with strange expressions.

Saki is old enough, looking to be in his early twenties, but his skinny arms and legs make it hard for people to associate him with being a good fighter.

Nia on the other side is a Blade Master. Her Blades are clearly different from those ordinary beast-type Blades. She does seem to have some skills, but she is too young to be a Blade Master, and she is also thin. It seems that she has not been through many battles.

I'm afraid these two people are not...

Volume 64: Young Men, Girls and Precious First Times: Chapter Chapter "Actors"

"Were these two people sent in to make money?!"

This was the first impression of the two men and the tiger in the minds of a group of permanent guards after a brief thought based on the existing information.

But no matter if they really have the ability or they got in through connections, the fact that there is a Blade Master alone determines that they will not say anything unnecessary in public. At the moment, they had a brief exchange with Saki, and in a few words, they planned the shift schedule. Except for the time when all the staff needed to be present when salvaging the ancient ship, the other times they still took care of the status of the two "newcomers" and gave them enough rest time.

There were no additional conflicts, and the joining of Saki and others did not bring much disturbance to the Uzushio. There were not many unexpected incidents worth mentioning during the whole process.

To be precise, they were all adults who had worked in the Chamber of Commerce. No one would be stupid enough to say something that would make enemies for no reason. Instead, they gave a lot of care, which Saki accepted with peace of mind.

Anyway, he didn't have any money this time... It's not that the captain didn't intend to give him money, but he thought he might not be able to survive until the salvage ship returned to the Chamber of Commerce. In other words, he would be working for nothing, so let him take a little bit.

......

"Captain, everyone has arrived at their posts."

"Well, where is our sponsor?"

“I’m coming up too.”

"Well."

The captain, who was still wearing his salvage suit and refused to take it off, waved his hand and said loudly:

"Weigh anchor, the Uzushio is off!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire metal spaceship trembled, and driven by Arus above, it slowly floated out of the port, turned around on the sea of ​​clouds, and flew towards the coordinates of the destination along the pre-set route, which made Saki marvel at the sight.

He just couldn't figure out how they could make the Arus on top understand what they meant without any shouting and just controlling the rudder. Just treat it as the giant beast's black technology in this world~

After praising him, he turned his head and met the eyes of the person next to him who was looking at him level, as if there was no emotion in them at all.

Naturally, it was Zhen, the 'financial sponsor' and 'boss' that the salvagers had always talked about. The Narwhal, which did not have the ability to salvage in the sea of ​​clouds, followed far behind waiting for support, while Zhen and Mie boarded the Uzushio as supervisors, waiting to make contact with the target as soon as possible.

Then, naturally, he ran into an ordinary person who was a former college student on security duty and is now the acting principal and the only teacher at Tenjin Elementary School.

"...Did you hire this ship?"

Someone looked left and right, and finally looked at Zhen, with an expression of "why is this world so small?"... In short, he looked quite incredible, but this emotion was restrained to a certain extent, flying low on the edge of the line of exaggeration.

Makoto's expression didn't change much. He stared at Saki calmly for a long time, nodded slightly, and said:

"Yes."

As always, he was concise and frugal with words. He didn't even seem to want to explain this topic, but there was really no need to explain. Saki's face turned bitter, and he rubbed his temples, a little distressed, and said:

"It seems that your original purpose was to find a salvager? This escort job is not easy...Is it too late for me to jump off the ship now?"

After catching the information he needed from someone's 'inadvertent' complaint, his eyes flickered, and after a quick glance around, he asked:

"How about them?"

"Are you asking Nia? She and Baihu are resting now. It's not their turn to work yet."

"Yeah..."

Shinji's eyes flickered again, and he walked a few steps away from Saki, leaned against the wall, folded his hands, lowered his head, and closed his eyes to rest. In the absence of Nia, he seemed too lazy to say a word, and Saki had no intention of getting close to her. He took out a serious thermos, unscrewed the lid and poured himself a glass of boiled water, and just huddled in the corner to observe the salvagers who had become noisy after setting sail.

It was really noisy. After all, they had no work to do before reaching the target location. The operation of the salvage ship was also carried out in shifts, so the group of salvagers who were not on duty at the moment began to work under the cover of night...

banquet.

The food was simple, just barbecue and wine. The meat was from creatures in the sea of ​​clouds, and the wine was fruit wine made from agricultural products from various countries. The alcohol content was not low, which was in line with the temperament of these sea men. Soon, the smell of barbecue and fruit filled the entire cabin. Some people who were not good at drinking began to show a tendency to let themselves go. If this trend continued, it would only be a matter of time before a scene of chaos broke out.

"You're not going to the party, young man?"

"Ok?"

Saki, who was holding the cup and pretending to sip, looked up and saw a man in black armor with black hair and a slicked back hair appeared in front of him. He glanced and saw that Shin, who was five steps away before, had moved ten steps away without him knowing. His sight moved again and the man who ran over to talk to him was leaning against the wall on the side with his hands folded, replacing Shin, and looking at the noisy salvagers in front.

"Or are you not used to this kind of occasion?"

"I guess so. There's no one like him that I've met before."

As an ordinary student who has lived in the inland for a long time, Saki's life level has not reached the level where he can be exposed to such occasions, especially such a wild and heroic banquet. He can't accept it for a while. He can watch the show from the side, but forget about participating.

"I didn't have any contact with you before, but now I have. Life is short, so you should enjoy it while you can. Young man."

“Are you a life coach type of person?”

"I don't mind if you call me Teacher Mie~"

In a sense, it was a title comparable to 'Kero-sensei', but neither of them took this casual remark to heart, and listened to Mie continue:

"Besides, everything is always unfamiliar before you come into contact with it. If you refuse to come into contact with it just because you are not familiar with it, you will never grow in your life~"

Saki: “…”

Is this person of this character?

Not understanding, nor wanting to understand, Saki simply drank up the cup of water that he had been lingering over for half a day, then poured another cup from the thermos and continued to fill it on the side. Mie couldn't help but smack his lips, feeling inexplicably dry in the mouth.

"Hey~ Can you give me something good?"

"Is this okay? Drinking something from a stranger..."

Saki paused while drinking water, then raised the corners of his mouth to reveal a meaningful smile.

“Maybe it’s poisonous?”

......

"If there is a poison that can knock me down, I would really like to see it~"

Mie raised his arm and didn't put it down. He grinned with a mysterious confidence. Saki also smiled and handed the cup over again, saying unhappily:

"Take it."

“Isn’t this quite refreshing~”

Taking half a cup of boiled water from Saki, Mie didn't hesitate and drank it straight away. He smacked his lips and tasted it for a while...

"Isn't it just ordinary water?"

"It's water~"

"Tsk, I thought you were secretly drinking some good wine."

"Drinking will cause trouble."

"That's a brilliant point."

After saying that, Mie drank the remaining boiled water, waved his hand and walked towards Zhen who was not far away, while Saki stared at the shiny barbecued meat and began to think about how to naturally and politely take some to bring to Nia and Baihu who were not present.

On the other side, Mie walked up to his de facto leader, put his arms together again, and leaned against the wall. An extremely beautiful landscape was formed. Saki had even thought of a name for it: "Ira Leaning Against the Wall Duo."

However, neither of them was the type to care about other people's gazes, and the thoughts of the people around them meant nothing to them. In addition, the cold and repulsive aura emanating from the sponsor, the blade master, and Zhen indeed formed a vacuum zone in the corner of the hall for a moment, and no one dared to approach.

When most of the people nearby had left, Mie opened his eyes and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear:

"They...what are you going to do with them?"

"..."

"That catwoman... is she called Nia? She's a cannibal anyway. I don't know what kind of power she has. If you want to attack them, you'd better deal with this uncertainty first~"

Why can a small terrorist organization like Ira ignore other countries and act recklessly? Of course, it is because they have such strength that they can easily take the head of any high-ranking person in any country except Arcadia, including the king, and escape unscathed. Even the strongest blade master in the empire is not taken seriously by them. Not to mention bragging, any one of them can beat up the strongest blade master in the Spebbia Empire, Prince Melev of Flame, and beat him up with his blade.

In fact, except for Mie, the entire Ila, including the leader Shin...there is not a single pure human or blade.

In other words, almost all of them are cannibals, and their unreasonable strength comes from their identity as cannibals. Because of this, they naturally would not underestimate another cannibal with unknown abilities.

There was a small problem. If they wanted to kill everyone on the Uzushio according to the original plan, then the cannibal Nia, whose ability and strength were unknown, would become their biggest obstacle. After all, according to what Shin said, although Saki was just an ordinary human, he had some very troublesome equipment and could be considered a half-blade master.

From this point of view, judging from the personnel comparison alone, Mie + Shin + Zantetsu is actually evenly matched with Nia + Saki + Baihu, but the specific calculation is definitely not that way. Although Mie has enough confidence in Shin's strength, who knows if that cat woman will suddenly pull out a big treasure that can beat him and Shin together?

To be on the safe side, I'd better find an opportunity to give Nia to...

"Specifically... I'll decide after I find 'her'."

"...Okay, you're the boss."

Mie shrugged and stopped talking about this topic. He could see that Zhen was still a little hesitant or reluctant to kill Nia.

Unlike him, for the cannibals of Ila, Nia now possesses what they once lost - a blade controler who is worthy of their trust, reliance and protection.

Only after becoming a cannibal will one understand how difficult it is to establish a relationship of mutual trust with a second Blade Master. It is better to say that most of them choose to become cannibals because they are unwilling to give up the memories of the current Blade Master. It is simply impossible for them to find the next Blade Master, so they choose to stick together and join a group like Ila, which is destined to be destroyed at some point.

Nia is different. She has possibilities that they cannot have. Although they don’t know what happened exactly, it does not stop them from standing in the shadows and sending blessings to this fellow human being, wishing her to find her own home.

Therefore, when he thought about killing these two people whom he had been silently blessing in his heart, he began to hesitate, or rather...he felt compassion.

At this time, what are the two people who are blessed doing?

......

On the second floor of the Uzushio, in a room built to the same specifications as the other cabins, a slender striped tiger was squatting obediently in the center of the room. The armor on the front half of its body had a blue core crystal emitting a faint glow. A sharp ring blade was bitten in its mouth. Its sharp yet elegant blue eyes scanned the room, always alert to what someone had said, 'In addition to the main door, there will be enemies breaking through the wall from all directions.'

"As expected of Mr. Saki, you are so thoughtful!"

To be honest, if Saki hadn't mentioned it, it would have never imagined that there were so many flaws in a room other than the main entrance. It really broadened its horizons. It turns out that some things cannot be learned just by inherited knowledge and books!

Baihu realized it!

In the room guarded by the White Tiger, the bedding on one of the single beds bulged strangely, and the blue light inside kept expanding and dimming. No one knew what happened inside. The girl's somewhat dissatisfied complaint sounded through the bedding.

"This guy is too defenseless!"
