Survive in Azure Files

I was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized that the pronunciation of "笑面" in "笑面教授" can also be regarded as "喵喵".

Based on the reverence that Chimeizu has for Miaotianwan...it seems...it's not completely impossible?

Miao Tianwan's smiling professor said Weicun.

Fina also nodded and sighed: "He gave himself a fake name based on his real name, and he always deliberately has a sullen face, which makes people completely unable to associate him with her... From this point of view, the president is really a strategist!"

To be honest, if you say that, will you really stop doubting that girl named Nia who always has a smile on her face?

"Whether it is or not is not important. There is no time to waste." Shizuko stopped the topic. "Since we can't wait for the military support of the Onmyoji Department, we can only rely on ourselves. With the teacher here, there will be no problem. Let's act as cautiously as possible from now on."

This strong trust also brings me some pressure.

Perhaps, I should contact the masked swimsuit group in advance and be ready to rescue them at any time.

However, if the students of the One Hundred Demons Night Parade can solve the problem themselves, it is better not to let people from other schools get involved. Although Xia Lai has such authority, he must not abuse it unless it is absolutely necessary.

"Then, make all preparations and set off!"

Shizuko clenched her fists and raised them high: "Knock down all those who intend to destroy the Sakura Festival!"

"Oh!"

Soon, the girls were ready and set off to the ruins where Chimei and Meowtenmaru, who was suspected to be the Smiling Professor, were entrenched.

Chapter 87: The Four Heavenly Kings Under Meow Tenmaru

The ruins leading to the back alley of the shopping street are usually sparsely populated because of their desolate and remote location.

It covers a relatively large area and has complex terrain, which is suitable for hiding a large number of troops.

"They probably didn't set up large-scale traps and fortifications."

Shizuka explained to us: "If they had transported large quantities of building materials to the ruins, the surrounding businesses would have noticed something was wrong long ago. But even so, we still can't take it lightly.

"Although under normal circumstances, those unruly guys in Chimeiyi have no such patience, but now with Miao Tianwan as the commander, they may ambush us on the road."

At this moment, on the path leading to the ruins, five students who were on guard against their surroundings surrounded me in the middle and moved forward cautiously.

I feel that with our current configuration and based on the average combat power of a group of Chimei, we would not be afraid even if there were dozens of enemies lying in ambush along the way.

Moreover, the total number of Chimei is limited, and most of them should stay in the stronghold to wait for the opportunity and fight with the advantage of home field. Even if they want to ambush, they should be able to allocate only a very small number of people.

I just don't know what other hidden tricks Nyanko has besides these hired small-time problem children.

But I changed my mind and felt that it was not entirely true, so I also spoke up to remind him:

"Everyone, if you really encounter an ambush later, and the enemies are numerous but they are all small fry that will be defeated with one strike, remember not to pursue them too much."

These words were mainly spoken to Shizuko who was easily impulsive, Feng who was simple-minded, and Fina who might imitate Renxia.

"Ah, Fina, I understand. What the leader means is that the enemy might take advantage of our eagerness to resolve the incident and lure them into our territory?"

Fina understood it immediately: "Fina has seen it in the movies! The protagonist who was at a disadvantage achieved a shocking comeback in this way!"

...Not to mention why the case comes from a film or TV work, given the current situation of both parties, isn’t it a bit unlucky to use such a metaphor?

And why are they still using the title of chief?

We remained cautious and just as we were moving to a distance where we could vaguely see the main part of the ruins, suddenly, we heard shouts and screams from both sides of the road.

Then, dozens of demons wearing masks and light yellow kimonos rushed out from behind the many shelters formed by the natural terrain and abandoned creations:

"Go ahead! For the great cause of that master! Defeat them cleanly!"

Then, they were defeated at the speed of light by several of our students who were well prepared, and they all retreated back into the shelters.

"Yawn... A place like this is obviously suitable for an ambush. Anyone who comes here will be on high alert..."

Tsubaki, who was standing beside me, yawned and raised a heavy shield with one hand to block the bullets flying towards me.

Amid a series of metal collision sounds, her seemingly weak arms remained motionless, holding up a foam board with ease and stability as if she were not under any external force.

At the same time, Chun's other hand holding the gun was pointed in the opposite direction, continuously spitting out flames, suppressing the enemies who were looking out from the other side.

Although a few stray bullets still managed to slip through the net, they hardly consumed any of Alona's battery power.

I can say that I feel very safe with the head of the training department and the person in charge of combat power protecting me.

In comparison, the other two people in the training department are slightly inferior in combat power.

But Mimori's movements are extremely graceful, and Kaede seems lively and cute, while also being able to completely suppress the average bad girl.

There is no need to say more about Shizuko and Fina.

The latter used machine guns to suppress fire, while the former rushed directly into the enemy group with a shotgun. Although the specific battle situation could not be seen, from the continuous screams and pleas, it was enough to imagine how cruel Shizuko, who was full of anger, was.

I kind of want to remind her to pay attention to her image as a poster girl to avoid being spread with strange rumors afterwards.

Just like me, who had only had ordinary communication with students.

"Damn it, there's no way I can win. I should have gone to the festival to play..."

The demon who was trapped behind the bunker and dared not to stick his head out said dejectedly, while his companions beside him cheered him up:

"Don't be afraid! This is all within that master's calculations. Our goal is to consume the ammunition supply of those idiots who are hindering that master's plan and delay time!"

"That's right, the backup plan that master arranged is about to come into play!"

The demon who had just started to speak in a depressing tone fell silent for a moment and asked in confusion, "So what exactly is that master's plan?"

And at this moment, the situation on the battlefield did change.

A whistling sound came from far away and came closer to my ears. Before I could react, I felt a black screen in front of my eyes and my head sank into a warm and soft ball.

Then, there was the sound of an explosion and a violent impact that made both me and Chun, who was pressing me against his chest, stagger.

Only then did I realize that a grenade was thrown at us, and Chun blocked it in time with her shield.

I broke free from Chun's arms, frowned, and looked towards the end of the path we came from. Then I saw a familiar, dilapidated pickup truck appear in my sight.

I had a bad feeling in my heart, and it was confirmed by the cheers of a bunch of small fry:

"Here they come! On the dark side of Kivotos, there are the Five Tigers of the Dark Cuisine World!"

"Great! We are saved!"

"Lion-headed Izumi, the short Junko, the blue-eyed crocodile Akari, the flying sage Haruna, and their leader, the legendary dragon that can only be seen from the head but not the tail, Ruyunlong Fengxiang, who always controls the situation in the dark!"

"That master was able to subdue even the Five Tiger Stars. I want to follow that master for my whole life!"

"Can the Four Heavenly Kings under that sir defeat the Festival Committee and the Monster Association? Absolutely! Easily!"

Feng yelled angrily: "Who is the Monster Association? And I heard you say there are five people, why do you say there are the Four Heavenly Kings!"

The people in the group of demons sneered: "The Monster Association is so short-sighted! There have always been five of the Four Heavenly Kings!"

As I listened to the cheers of the crowd and thought back to Junzi whom I met in the morning, I couldn't help but be speechless.

What are these guys doing here?

After the initial sneak attack failed, the Food Research Society, which was very polite and did not launch any further attacks, stopped the wobbly pickup truck with the word "Supply" written on the front of the truck and turned off the engine not far away.

Then, four girls got out of the car, and a moving figure could be vaguely seen in the car.

Even though the face could not be seen clearly, the identity of that figure could be imagined.

So why did they kidnap Fengxiang again?

I looked up at the sky and felt that the current situation was really chaotic.

In any case, the Food Research Society has joined the battle!

“Haha! You’re finished!” A group of demons poked their heads out and shouted, “Quickly surrender! Facing this unmatched strength… ugh!”

Shizuka, who had just left the enemy group and was rushing towards her own main force, couldn't help but turn back and fire a shot, scaring the roaring demons back.

The demon hid behind the bunker and looked outside tentatively, muttering:

"But... Damn it, you dare to be so arrogant in front of the guys from the Gourmet Research Society. Get ready to be severely punished."

However, when she saw the battlefield clearly, she was disappointed and surprised to find that the reinforcements she had been waiting for for a long time were standing not far from the enemy. Instead of attacking, they waved their hands in a friendly manner.

"Ah~ Teacher, I didn't expect to meet you here, hehe~"

Haruna, who was in the lead, greeted me with a happy expression.

"Good afternoon, teacher. I didn't continue the attack because I noticed you were here."

Behind her, Mingli also greeted me with a smile.

Quan was talking incoherently with food in his mouth, while Junko nodded with a haughty expression.

The atmosphere on the battlefield suddenly became quite harmonious. Of course, Chi Meiyi would probably just feel embarrassed.

Facing the goodwill released by the Food Research Association, I also gladly accepted it:

"Hello everyone, what are you doing here?"

"Haha~ As you can see, we are hired."

Haruna replied with an elegant smile, "Because the employer has already paid a generous reward in advance, unfortunately, I have to fight even with the teacher."

It was obvious that the Gourmet Research Society was willing to give me a certain level of respect, but not to the extent of giving up the commission.

After all, they are not directly against me, but against other students who have been helped by me.

I was silent for a while: "...If I remember correctly, you should still be in detention time, right?"

"Well, thanks to Fengxiang's friendly support of the vehicle, I was able to escape the pursuit of the Discipline Committee~"

Poor Fengxiang, and poor Hina.

To be honest, I don't want to have a conflict with the people from the Food Research Association here, not to mention the outcome is still unknown. Even if I win, it will consume a lot of time and energy.

Is there any way to persuade them to quit? There are two methods: coercion and inducement.

Threatening to notify the Disciplinary Committee has only a small chance of scaring Haruna and the others off, but it will definitely destroy the friendly relationship I have with them so far, which is not worth it.

Then we can only rely on inducement.

"Before we start the war, may I ask what kind of compensation did Meow Tenmaru give you?"

Haruna tilted her head in confusion: "Well... it's okay to tell you. Hehe~ Of course, there is only one reward that can impress our Food Research Society--"

"These are invitation tickets to several famous restaurants in the Hundred Demons Night Parade~"

Mingli took out a stack of meal coupons and smiled: "With these, you can taste the local delicacies of the Hundred Demons Night Parade for free~"

Haruna nodded: "That's right~ And, although it's much less important, you can still get a lot of commission after it's done."

Quan said with tears in his eyes: "Wow... In order to pay off the debt, money is also necessary..."

Junko couldn't help but complain: "That's what I mean. It was clearly the Millennium people who destroyed that exhibition hall. Why should we bear the loss?"

Because you are the real culprit, right? Although... well... Millennium's C&C methods were indeed... a little bit rough.

"Wait a mininute!"

Shizuka suddenly said, "These invitation tickets were given to you by Meow Tenmaru, right? This is his exclusive benefit as the president of the shopping street, but after we defeat him and expose his conspiracy to the public, he will be dismissed!"

Haruna couldn't help but frown: "Hmm? So what?"

Shizuko put her hands on her hips and said, "In other words, all the invitation tickets in your hands will become waste paper!"

The scene was silent for a moment.

I don't know whether this rule really exists or was made up by Shizuko as an excuse for the Gourmet Research Club to lose the battle.

Judging from the cold sweat on Shizuko's forehead and the slightly twitching corners of her mouth, the latter possibility was obviously more likely, but the girls in the Food Research Club were indeed hesitant.

Except Haruna.

"Haha~ So that's it." Haruna blinked and smiled, "Even if that really happens, as long as we defeat you here, isn't that enough?"

"...I admit that you are right. But if I were to tell you that I am also the proprietress of the famous Hyakuya-do in the Hundred Demons Night Parade, how would you respond?"

"……oh?"

Seeing Haruna narrow her eyes and look very interested, Shizuko secretly breathed a sigh of relief and then put on a business-like smile:

"If you want to taste the specialties of the Hundred Demons Night Parade, then you can definitely come to our Hyakuya-do. Also, we have the cutest poster girl, Shizuko, who will do her best to entertain you."

Haruna raised her eyebrows and said, "Hyakuya-do? I seem to have heard of this store's name."
