Survive in Azure Files

Nagisa glared at Mika, then looked at the guards and said gently: "You go out first, we will call you again if we need you later."

As the guards left, Nagisa invited me to sit down in the last empty seat, filled a cup of black tea for me, and began to introduce herself:

"Nice to meet you, sensei. I'm a member of the tea party, Kirito Nagisa. The guy who's looking at you with such rude eyes is..."

"Wait a minute, let me tell you myself!"

Mika also stopped looking at me, smiled warmly, and waved to say hello:

"sensei~ My name is Seizono Mika, and I'm also a member of the tea party. Please remember my name~"

Finally, everyone turned their eyes to the petite girl who remained silent in the main seat - I finally realized that she seemed to be asleep.

“……”This is me being silent.

"Alas." This is Nagisa sighing softly while stroking his forehead.

"Puuu~" Weihua couldn't help laughing.

"Chi! Flutter flutter~" The little white bird flew up and pecked the petite girl's forehead with its beak.

Finally, the petite girl woke up slowly. I don’t know what dream she had. She cast her sleepy eyes on me and muttered like a spoiled child:

"Um... Dad... What's wrong... It's the child who needs to be fed again, cough cough cough!"

The petite girl was shocked to realize that she was not in a dream and tried to cover up her mistake by coughing violently.

But it was too late.

Shengyuan Mika pointed at her and laughed so hard that tears came out of her eyes: "Hahaha~ Shengya, you just called daddy like a sleepy kid~ Shengya who likes to pretend to be mature can actually be so cute~"

Kirito Nagisa didn't say anything, but turned her face away, her whole body shaking violently, and even a few drops of her tea spilled out, which showed how hard it was for her to hold back her laughter.

As for me, I gave an awkward but polite smile, remained silent, and tried my best to conceal my presence.

The girl named Shengya stroked her forehead and sighed, then looked at me:

"Excuse me, sensei, for showing you such an unbecoming and ugly appearance. Is this our first meeting? I should have introduced myself to you first, but could you please wait for a moment?"

Then, Shengya tilted her head and said, "Weihua, do you think my incompetence is funny?"

"Eh? Of course~ After all, she's the one with a stern face and speaks in a way that no one can understand~"

"Huh... This is indeed the reaction that Mika-san, who is not good at thinking and has no empathy, would give. What about you, Nagisa? Okay, I know the answer."

Shengya looked at me calmly, then lowered her eyes and said meaningfully:

"It doesn't matter. A temporary defeat cannot determine the overall victory or defeat. When you show the same attitude one day in the future, I will return the humiliation I have suffered at this moment to you two intactly."

Hearing this, Mika laughed even louder, while Nagisa covered her mouth and said "I'm sorry" in a muffled voice.

It seems that the three of them are good friends in private. However, is it really okay for girls to play around in front of an outsider like me?

They must have ignored me or joined forces to embarrass me. Holy Trinity is truly unfriendly.

I sipped the lukewarm tea and whispered to myself, "Ahahaha, black tea is really delicious."

"Sensei~ It's okay to laugh~ Shengya said she won't mind, right?"

Nagisa looked stunned and glanced at me worriedly.

I also noticed that something was gradually wrong in the atmosphere.

Facing Mika's question, which seemed to be asking for her opinion, or more accurately, a provocation disguised as a joke, Shengya simply responded with a look of disgust and annoyance, and said coldly:

"The sacred garden has not been flowered. Enough is enough."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere on the field immediately dropped to freezing point.

Shengya and Weihua are at loggerheads with each other, and their conflicts are like water and fire.

Zhu seemed to be hesitant to talk and looked at me frequently. He wanted to speak out to stop Weihua from provoking trouble and reconcile the conflict between them, but he also had to consider the fact that there were outsiders present. He seemed to be in a very difficult situation.

I can see that these three people can perhaps be considered friends, but their relationship is not as good as I imagined, especially the two who are about to have a quarrel.

The silence was finally broken, Weihua seemed to have lost interest and said lightly:

"What? That's really boring."

"..."

Shengya didn't want to argue anymore and said to me apologetically:

"Sensei, I didn't expect to be in front of you. I'm sorry to embarrass you."

“…No, no, everyone is very energetic!”

I could only respond dryly with polite words, feeling full of regret.

I didn't go to Gehenna because I didn't want to be involved in such internal political disputes!

The student unions of the three university campuses can't all be like this, otherwise, it would be better to cancel the original schedule of the Millennium Seminar...

But this way I have no excuse to see Yuka, which is really a dilemma.

"I am Lily Garden Shengya, the current organizer of the tea party. I am also the one who invited you.

“This is not in the political interest, because it disregards the tacit understanding between us and takes the lead in ending the wait-and-see attitude towards your performance after taking office. Other schools will think that Holy Trinity has some plans for you, and will take corresponding actions while raising their vigilance against Holy Trinity.

"Now that the Federation Student Council President has disappeared and the Eden Treaty has been shelved, it may affect Gehenna even more..."

At this time, Mika suddenly interrupted and said, "Shengya-chan, don't change the topic to something unpleasant, let's get to the point."

Nagisa nodded in agreement: "I am also curious, why did Shengya invite sensei to this place where I remember no outsiders have ever set foot, and also asked me and Mika to be there as well."

"If there is something that needs to be decided by the three of us, is it necessary to call Xia Lai's sensei?" Mika said, and then added to me, "Of course~ I have no objection to your sensei~ Rather, it feels pretty good?"

Well, you have no problem with me, but you have a problem with Shengya, right?

I couldn't find a chance to speak and continued to remain silent.

Shengya let out a long sigh:

"Of course. After all, we are witnesses and participants, not decision makers. The key to open the door of choice is not in our hands. What will be the ending of this unpleasant story full of anger, regret, sadness, misunderstanding, pain, concealment...?"

In Saint Yana's bright golden eyes as she looked at me, unspeakable complex emotions almost overflowed.

"sensei... I just want to tell you this: I hope that you can watch everything to the end, no matter what happens in the middle, until all the unknown mysteries are solved.

"Choose the future you believe is right. This is your duty."

Chapter 12 Let’s take a look at the seminar far away

Riddler, get out of Kivotos!

I wanted to rebuke Shengya in this righteous way, but Shengya's status was too high.

To be honest, I had no idea what Shengya was trying to say and why she was telling me this.

"Sensei, you don't need to start thinking now, because you haven't experienced the dilemma of making a choice yet. Listen to what I just said and remember it. One day you will understand."

Shengya saw my confusion, but still adhered to her setting of not speaking properly and answered the riddle with a riddle.

Then, she began to explain to the other two people present:

"As for my purpose of gathering all the tea party members, that's all. Nagisa, Mika, I hope you can also remember that I said these words to sensei in front of you two at this moment. Similarly, you will make your own understanding of this one day in the future."

In response to this, the other two members of the tea party had completely different attitudes.

Nagisa's expression became serious. He picked up the teacup and took a sip, then lowered his eyes, looking thoughtful.

Mika smiled indifferently and said:

"Really~ Shengya-chan is saying something so hard to understand again~ However, I still understood one thing, that is, Shengya thinks sensei is someone she can trust, right?"

I wanted to ask the same, or even deeper, questions, but I couldn't open my mouth.

It would be embarrassing if the answer I got was that they thought I was a safe and harmless type because they collected intelligence about me privately and built a corresponding psychological model.

It is worth pondering that the other two people at the tea party did not question the fact that they trusted strangers they had never met.

After a brief thought, Shengya seemed to have thought of something and nodded reluctantly:

"You may think so, but..."

"That's great~"

Once again interrupting Shengya's speech, Weihua looked at me with great interest:

"Sensei, have you ever heard of Arius?"

Before I could react, I heard the sound of water spraying next to me.

Nagisa was so frightened that she choked and spat out a mouthful of tea on the floor. The elegant image of the noble daughter who remained calm and composed was instantly shattered.

Nagisa coughed, quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe the corners of his mouth, and said intermittently:

"Hey! Wait a minute, you haven't given up on that idea yet? You even brought it up in front of the... sensei..."

"Eh? What's the matter~"

"Haa... Nagisa, stop talking. You know that Mika is my childhood sweetheart. I'd rather let her do what she wants to do in front of us."

"What do you mean by 'this kind of guy'? But Saint Ya, you are right. I just want to get some advice from the adults who are trusted by the organizer of the tea party. Like a consultant? Isn't it good~"

The work is not easy, Shengya sighed.

The look in Shengya's eyes when she looked at Weihua was not only disgust but also exhaustion:

It is really difficult to communicate with a fool who has zero political sense, always acts one step faster than he thinks, and becomes a representative of a faction through force rather than wisdom.

At the same time, upon hearing this, Nagisa and I both looked slightly different:

Let Xialai's sensei also serve as a consultant for the tea party? Do you really think the Great Saint Trinity is invincible?

"Xia Lai is busy with affairs, so forget about being a consultant!" I quickly refused, but I was afraid of angering Mika, so I added, "But if I am just a sensei, accepting students' life consultations and giving some insignificant advice, there is no problem. I have never heard of Arius, can you tell me more about him?"

"Of course. Arius is a branch of Trinity. It became independent many years ago. I was thinking, since we were all students of Trinity, why not merge again?"

It sounds like there's nothing wrong with it.

However, Nagisa couldn't help but speak:

"Mika, if you don't mind, let me explain it to sensei in detail."

"That's fine, Nagisa, you can just say it."

Then, Nagisa told me in detail the history of the establishment of Trinity and the grievances and disputes between it and the Arius branch...

It turns out that Trinity is a union of multiple academies, so it's no wonder that it has a special system of multiple student council presidents.

The Ariana Grand School was an opposition school that was used as a target by the newly established Trinity to demonstrate its power and was expelled by force.

Hearing this, I couldn't hold it in any longer.

Well, even in the war-torn Kivotos, peace may be the common pursuit of people of insight. Coupled with the motivation of interests, let's assume that Arius Branch School can put aside its hatred for Holy Trinity.

Nagisa pointed out that the relationship between Trinity and Gehenna was tense, and the original agreement of non-aggression was suspended due to the disappearance of the Federation Student Council President. It was only because the military strength of both sides was almost the same that peace could be maintained...

I could only gaze at Ms. Mika Seizono with a complicated expression, her lovely face filled with innocence.

I don't know if she is a madman who wants to start a war, or if she is innocent and stupid, or both.

Anyway, no matter which one it is, it's a familiar feeling of unreliability. It makes me miss Yuka even more.

Fortunately, the other members of the tea party were opposed to this fantastic idea.

I pondered for a moment and expressed my opinion tactfully:

“I think Mika’s idea is, well, pretty good, at least the intention is good.

“However, if it is to be implemented, it requires more careful planning and more appropriate timing.

"What are the steps to be implemented, what accidents may occur, and how to deal with them after they occur...

"Generally speaking, this matter is quite troublesome and it still takes some time to study it."

Weihua nodded, not quite understanding, and gave Shengya a smug smile:

"Ha~ Shengya-chan~ Look, sensei also supports me! Hahaha!"

what?

Which eye of yours can tell that I support you?
