Survive in Azure Files

Shizuko coughed twice, then put on a business-like smile and voice: "Welcome, teacher! Welcome to Hyakuya Hall! Meow meow!"

When she was imitating the cat's meow at the end, Shizuko clenched her fists and waved them like a cat's paws on both sides of her cheeks with a cute smile.

I think she is seducing me.

"Hey, then please let me show you around here!" Shizuka looked at me and said, then turned to the side and said, "Fina, a guest!"

Fina nodded heavily: "Okay! I'm Fina! I will do my best to entertain you, Boss!"

"I told you not to talk to the teacher like that!"

Anyway, not long after, I sat down with the warm hospitality of Shizuko and Fina, enjoying the signature dishes of Hyakuya-do while chatting with the two girls sitting opposite me.

"Come to think of it, I didn't expect the teacher to really come!" Shizuka exclaimed in disbelief.

"Shizuko has personally invited me, so of course I have to come."

"… Uwaaa." Shizuko muttered softly, "The teacher in real life is completely different from the one on the phone."

Same with you. I can tell at first glance that I like Miss Shizuka who plays the role of a good kid.

What's more, my bad attitude on the phone was because you interrupted my work, right? If you came up and posted a photo first, I think my attitude would be consistent.

"Then please allow me to introduce myself again. My name is Kawai Shizuko, and I am the chairperson of the festival management committee of the Hyakki Yagyo United Academy, and the proprietress of Hyakya-do, the traditional cafe that we are proud of at the Hyakki Yagyo!"

Shizuko curved her dreamy lavender eyes and said with a little pride: "I am also the poster girl of Hyakuya-do, which means I am like everyone's idol! So I am not a stalker!"

Why haven't you let go of this issue yet? Is it because you call yourself an idol that you are particularly sensitive to this kind of thing?

"Then I am a waitress at Hyakuya-do!" Fina said, "In pursuit of the knight Jidao, I am Fina Asahina!"

After the girls finished introducing themselves, I nodded and said, "Hello, both of you. I am the leader of the Xialai Group. Thank you for your guidance."

Fina's eyes lit up with excitement, but Shizuko was even more excited than Fina:

"Wait! Teacher, please don't accept that kind of address!"

"Sorry, sorry," I apologized, then changed the subject and said with a smile, "But it's quite funny, isn't it?"

Fina nodded repeatedly: "That's right! Renxia movies are the best!"

This child might have something in common with Alu.

Shizuka was speechless for a moment: "...Haah, never mind, if you're happy, teacher."

Then, she cleared her throat and gave a perfect smile: "Ahem. So, teacher, this is your first time coming to our One Hundred Demons Night Parade Joint Academy, right?"

"no."

"Yes, then...ah? Isn't it?"

Jingzi was halfway through her sentence when she realized that my answer was completely different from what she expected, and she hesitantly changed the subject and said, "Have you been here before?"

I said honestly, "It happened a few days ago because I received a related commission."

"Okay, since you already know something about our school, let's skip this part."

If I say now that I don’t understand, will it make Shizuka angry?

Shizuko, who had no idea of ​​my evil intentions, pulled herself together:

"I will explain this to you, Master, as I am also the member of the Festival Operation Committee! We, the Festival Operation Committee, are responsible for the largest festival in the One Hundred Demons Night Parade tourism industry.

"Although it's called the Operations Committee, from planning to operations to overall management, almost all of our club activities are in charge! Ahem!"

Shizuka was very proud.

Chapter 67: The enemy not only refused to surrender but also dared to fight back

The One Hundred Demons Night Parade United Academy has relied on tourism as its pillar industry since ancient times, among which festivals occupy a very important part.

The Festival Operation Committee, which is responsible for almost all aspects of the festival, naturally has a special status in the One Hundred Demons Night Parade, far exceeding the status of ordinary clubs such as the Training Club.

I exclaimed: "It's amazing."

If that’s the case, what kind of difficulties did they encounter that made them not seek help from other clubs in the college, but instead entrust it to Xia Lai?

Could it be that Shizuka really has a crush on me and wants to use this opportunity to pursue her idol with public funds?

Oops, I haven't practiced signing in advance.

While I was trying to figure out the reason behind this, Fina interrupted:

"And Hyakuya Hall is the super cool headquarters of our festival operation committee!"

"And now, the Hundred Nights Spring Sakura Festival that we have carefully prepared has opened!" Shizuko concluded proudly, "This is the power of our Festival Operations Committee!"

I clapped my hands softly, thinking back to what I had seen and heard, and couldn't help but sigh, "It was indeed a great festival."

At least, most of the people participating in the festival on the street had enthusiastic smiles on their faces.

"That's right. It was so successful because of everyone's efforts and cooperation..."

When Shizuka said this, her pretty face, which had just had a calm smile, showed a hint of anger: "But recently, a group of troublemakers have appeared everywhere... This morning, they suddenly caused destruction everywhere, really..."

Finally getting to the point, I thought to myself.

I frowned slightly. "How could this happen? Ah, could it be that this is the commission you mentioned on the phone, Shizuko?"

"Well," Shizuko's fair face flushed, she looked at me shyly, and her voice became a little lower, "Although we simply want to invite the teacher to participate in the Hundred Nights Spring Sakura Festival, but..."

But due to circumstances, they had no choice but to ask me for help, as I should have just been a guest enjoying the Sakura Festival. I understand.

"Okay, if there's anything I can do to help, just let me know. I'll do my best."

Shizuko and Fina were stunned at first, then looked at each other in surprise and said in unison: "Teacher, thank you!"

"You're welcome. As a teacher, how could I not accept the request from my lovely students?"

I smiled gently: "So, what are the specific contents of the commission?"

Hearing my question, Shizuko just opened her mouth to speak, when suddenly, a deafening explosion came from the street outside Hyakuya Hall, followed by continuous gunfire.

I calmly picked up the teacup and moistened my throat. I felt calm and at peace with myself. I just thought that this tea from the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons had a unique flavor. Perhaps I could bring some back to Nagisa as a gift.

As for what’s happening outside?

All I can say is that Kivotos is such a haunted place that you would be surprised if you didn't encounter a few gunfights in a day. I've become accustomed to it.

Fina went to the window and looked, and said urgently: "Chairman! It's an enemy attack!"

Shizuko, who calls herself an idol, suddenly lost her smile. She couldn't even keep her voice up anymore and shouted in frustration, "Ah! Really, I'm here to attract your attention! What a bunch of annoying people! Ah..."

The poster girl, who was letting out her true emotions, had a look on her face that something was wrong and glanced at me quickly: "Um...ah, Shizuka, I'm so scared...I was just kidding...hehe."

You can't cover it up this way.

Shizuko's true nature was exposed as she abruptly changed the subject: "Anyway...anyway! I'll go to the scene first and explain the details to you later!"

Why should I go to the scene?

Although I had my disagreements in my heart, before I could tactfully express my view that a gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall, Shizuka and Fina had already rushed out in a hurry.

After confirming the power level of the Shiting Box, I chose to follow them.

The place where the explosion occurred is very close to Baiye Hall.

It is even possible that they are targeting Hyakuya Hall and the festival management committee.

Amidst the smoke and dust, a group of girls wearing light yellow kimonos and masks on their faces struck strange poses and loudly declared their presence.

One of the girls wearing a Tengu mask laughed wildly toward the sky: "Hahaha! We are the demons stationed on the streets of the One Hundred Demons Night Parade!"

Another girl wearing a Noh mask added in a deep voice: "Our name is... Chimeizuzu·Ludilu!"

The laughing Tengu girl then shouted, "Everyone, destroy as much as you can!"

Obviously, this is the treasure that is unique to the One Hundred Demons Night Parade area... the bad girl.

At the same time, they are also the group of guys that Shizuka mentioned, who have been making trouble everywhere recently.

"You actually messed up the Sakura Festival that was held with great effort! This is unforgivable!"

Just seeing this scene, Fina was already furious and led the charge towards the enemy.

“Ha, a mere festival operation committee, you still want to fight us?” The Tengu-masked demon who had just laughed waved his hand casually, “Forget it, treat them as enemies, everyone, charge!”

Seeing this, Shizuka flew into a rage and said with gritted teeth: "Not only did these guys refuse to surrender, they even dared to launch a counterattack against us! They don't even take us seriously!"

Although I think that the ones who least take their enemies seriously are not the demons.

"Shizuko, let me take charge of the command."

"Okay! I'll leave it to you!"

Shizuko pulled out a bolt-action shotgun from her back, her eyes burning with fire: "In order for the festival to be held peacefully! Shizuko is going to fight!"

Then she quickly rushed into the battlefield and fought side by side with Fina.

I also quickly realized that Shizuka was indeed qualified to look down on the demons.

She and Fina alone defeated dozens of bad girls. Although my command also played a role, the combat effectiveness of the festival operation committee should not be underestimated.

This almost one-sided battle was not balanced until a girl I had just met in the morning joined in.

"Izuna-ryu Ninjutsu!"

The little fox came out from nowhere and shouted loudly, and at the same time, he quickly threw a smoke bomb towards the densest crowd, and then moved and fired towards the place where Shizuka had just stood according to his previous memory.

However, there was no cry of pain.

Izuna looked around vigilantly, but when the smoke cleared, what he saw was an extremely handsome man standing in the center of the battlefield.

"Master?" Izuna rubbed his eyes and asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"

Chapter 68: What Izuna said left Izuna speechless

"Izuna, that's the question I should ask you."

I shook my head, narrowed my eyes, and asked knowingly, "Why are you here? Is this the mission assigned by your employer?"

In fact, the moment I saw Izumi appear on the stage, I already knew that my previous guess was correct.

Appearing in front of her and confronting her was a spur-of-the-moment decision on my part.

Although this plot was part of my plan, I didn't expect the opportunity to come so early. I thought it would be after I accompanied Izuna in training.

Moving the steps forward will indeed affect the plan, but opportunities are rare and never come back. Besides, I think the impact is still within controllable range.

At this time, Izuna answered my question honestly: "Yes, Izuna is following orders as a ninja!"

As soon as the girl finished speaking, I angrily asked, "Could it be that you, Izuna, approached me just to lure me out from the beginning?!"

"……Eh?"

I continued to chase after Izuna who was standing there in a daze. "Is this all a trick? You told me that you dreamed of becoming the best ninja in Kivotos and you even hoped to get my support! Are you actually a dishonest bad student?!"

Izuna finally came to her senses and retorted eagerly:

"That's not the case! What is the master talking about? Izuna, of course I really want to become the number one ninja in Kivotos!"

"Is it really?"

The little fox was about to cry: "Woo - Master, why don't you believe me..."

At the same time, on the other side of the battlefield.

Shizuko smiled smugly at her embarrassed enemies: "What! Don't underestimate our festival management committee!"

As Fina changed the magazine, she said in a deep voice: "Catch them all in one fell swoop, that's right!"

The members of the Chimei group who were still struggling to hold on compared the battle situation of both sides and let out unwilling cries.

“Gu, so strong! Those two seem even stronger than before…!?”

"Because of the command of that adult there, the actions of the festival management committee suddenly changed!"

"Tsk, there's nothing I can do."

A demon wearing a Tengu mask called out to us, "Your Highness Izuna! We have temporarily changed our strategy!"
