Survive in Azure Files

By the way, Fina and Feng also went over to join in the fun and kicked it a few times. Now there are gray shoe prints on Miao Tianwan’s black kimono.

Seeing Shizuka looking at him again, Miao Tianwan quickly smiled and said, "Well, as the saying goes, it is better to resolve a feud than to create one. I already know that I was wrong. Please resolve the dispute peacefully, okay?"

"How can a guy who wants to lure us into a trap room and blow us all up say that!"

"Ah - yes, I have overstepped my authority... Please, for the sake of our past friendship, at least don't slap me in the face again..."

Miao Tianwan is a man who knows how to deal with things, but his flattery is a bit disgusting.

Shizuko looked away in disgust, rubbing her arms through her sleeves, as if she had goose bumps.

"Ha..." Chun yawned loudly, but the content of her words was completely different from her lazy tone, "Now that the mastermind has been caught, let's make further efforts to eliminate the remaining gang members."

Mimori said softly, "We can't let them interfere with the Sakura Festival."

"Then I'm sorry to trouble you with this matter," Shizuko sighed, "Because of the trouble caused by this guy, the progress of our festival operation committee is much slower than in previous years. We should go back and complete the final preparations. We will thank you later."

Sansen nodded: "Well, thank you for your hard work, leave the rest to us."

Shizuko asked again: "Speaking of which, what should we do with this holographic projector? Should we reclaim it as stolen property?"

Coincidentally, this machine looks exactly like the one I saw last night when I visited the engineering department at Millennium, which they had worked overtime to make.

"What loot?" I asked in confusion, "Wasn't the holographic projector damaged by Meow Tenmaru himself during the battle?"

I think that given the trouble that Meowtenmaru has brought to the festival operations committee, it wouldn't be a bad idea for Shizuko to just go hack as an apology.

"Wait a moment for me! I spent my coffin money to make this for you! You can't, you can't do this!"

Unfortunately, no one paid any attention to Meow Tenmaru's cries.

"Well... let's hand it over to the Onmyoji Department as evidence of the crime." Shizuko hesitated and decided, then suddenly showed a weird smile and changed the subject, "Haha... I can also take this opportunity to make those annoying guys in the Onmyoji Department owe me a favor!"

I felt that there was little hope, but seeing how happy Shizuka looked, I couldn't bear to point it out.

All in all, the matter has come to an end here.

The culprit, Meow Tenmaru, sighed, "Why is there a teacher when there is a meow?" while being escorted by Fina to the Onmyoji Department. Because the Onmyoji Department is not a formal student union, Meow Tenmaru will probably be handed over to Valkyrie later.

I don’t know whether Ye Zhu can or is willing to provide some ways to “care for” the prisoners.

I don't mean anything else, I just want to express some gratitude to Miao Tianwan who buried explosives under my feet and was ready to detonate them himself.

As the Sakura Festival was approaching its climax, Shizuko, as the department head, was naturally extremely busy at this critical moment, so she returned to Hyakuya Hall alone to handle related matters.

As for the training club, just as they said, they continued to carry out what they believed to be training club activities, and in order to protect the Sakura Festival from being disrupted, they went to defeat the remnants of the defeated army that might still cause trouble.

Everyone had their own things to do, and they all said goodbye to me and left after agreeing to see me next time.

In the blink of an eye, there was only one person left by my side.

"...Izuna."

I softly called the name of the girl next to me.

"Hmm? Teacher, what's wrong?"

"I'm sorry for lying to you."

Facing Izuna's innocent eyes, I sincerely apologized to her: "Actually, when I saw you being chased by the people from the training club, I guessed that you might be related to the riots at the Sakura Festival, so I approached you as a ninja. Although my purpose was to bring you back on track, I still deceived you. I'm really sorry."

Although this is shameless, I hope Izuna can understand my difficulties and forgive me. I sincerely hope that our relationship can become good again.

However, Izunai asked in confusion: "Teacher, haven't we already told you about these things once before?"

...is he trying to say in a tactful way that he knows the truth but won't forgive, and that a broken mirror cannot be mended?

Being betrayed can indeed make people grow quickly, and Izuna should have been a more simple and straightforward person.

I felt a growing sense of guilt.

How can we mend the rift between us?

"Teacher! Teacher!"

Izunai shook her fox ears and tail, looking at me eagerly and excitedly: "Izunai's performance just now shows that she is definitely an outstanding ninja!"

I looked at Izuna like this, blinked, and suddenly realized that I seemed to have overthought.

This is exactly the same silly and cute girl in my impression!

I was a little confused and asked hesitantly:

"Izuna, what were you just doing...?"

"Ah! Izuna remembered the teacher's teachings and thought very hard, and successfully entered the realm of the legendary mirror and water~ Forbearance~"

Although I don't really understand it, it does seem like I'm asking for trouble, which is great.

Izuna showed an open and cheerful smile, with her hands behind her back, her body leaning forward, and her face looking up, staring at me with her big watery eyes, looking cute and playful:

"Teacher~ Can you please praise Izuna~ Praise Izuna~"

Even their intimate attitude has not changed... no, it should be said that they are even closer than before.

My heart softened, and I immediately reached out and stroked Izuna's hair, saying like I was coaxing a child:

"Izuna is the best. I knew she could do it. She is really super patient!"

"Hmm~ Ninjas don't have this level~"

Izuna rubbed her head against my hand and said in a clingy tone:

"Teacher, your knowledge of ninjas is still too limited. I have no choice but to let Izumi teach you~ Ninja~"

I was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "Well, I'll look forward to it."

"Uh-huh!"

Izuna responded with a smile as bright as the morning sun.

Chapter 98: The Disaster Fox's Twisted Date

The source of the disturbance had been eliminated, and no large-scale disturbances occurred during the rest of the Sakura Festival.

Of course, there were a few cases where the remnants of the evil spirits shouted "Revenge for that lord", but they were all quickly suppressed.

After squeezing the fox's head and making an appointment with Izuna to meet before the climax of the Sakura Festival the next day, I returned to Xialai to take care of trivial matters.

Basically, I returned the phone with the reinstalled system to Xiaokong, and then learned from Ye Zhu that the case was progressing smoothly. Then I completed the backlog of official business and caught up on some sleep. I won’t go into details.

Unfortunately, I wanted to arrange to visit the festival with a few more suitable students, but perhaps because I made the appointments relatively late, most of them already had other plans.

For example, everyone in Abydos is doing volunteer activities as usual. Although the pressure is much less now, they are still working hard to pay off their debts;

For example, Yukino, because the operation to arrest Wakamo failed again, she was even taken advantage of by the angry Hanaya to cut her vacation. She may not be able to contact or go out in the near future, but the time for SRT to be officially abolished should not be far away;

For example, Yuka, a science girl, knows everything and thinks that overtime is more important than dating.

But this is also what makes Yuka so cute.

I want to take advantage of Yuka working overtime to improve my relationship with Noah, but now is not the right time, so I have to be patient.

There is also the Gourmet Research Society, who are said to have actually escaped from prison. They are holding Fengxiang hostage, and are engaged in a fierce chase with the Discipline Committee across the entire territory of Kivotos.

As for the students of Holy Trinity, they have not yet finished their exam week, which is in stark contrast to the free Gehenna.

I sincerely feel that students also have their own lives!

In fact, I think it’s all Miao Tianwan’s fault for not surrendering earlier, otherwise, I wouldn’t have made the appointment until the day before the fireworks display.

But fortunately, not all students have things to do.

On the last day of the Sakura Festival, when the fireworks were set off, I came to the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons again.

In the crowd that was denser than in the past few days, I saw a familiar figure at a glance, but hesitated for a moment, wondering if I recognized the wrong person.

He wasn't holding a simple-looking rifle in his hand, nor was he wearing his usual red and black outfit that looked bright but dangerous and convenient for movement. He didn't have a fox mask on his face, and his temperament was completely different from the impression I had of him being either crazy or well-behaved.

Under the cherry tree, the girl was holding a paper umbrella with flower patterns printed on it, wearing a pink and white kimono decorated with flowers. She lowered her eyes, with a calm and peaceful expression, and a face that was pure and beautiful, just like a lady from a noble family who walked out of a storybook.

But the question is, is this Ruo Zao?

When I invited Ruozao to travel with me, she immediately agreed and said that she was free as well.

Regardless of whether she really happened to be free, I just wanted to take this opportunity to express my gratitude for her efforts and to advise her to care more about herself and not give too much to me.

Unexpectedly, Ruo Zao gave me such a big surprise right when she came up.

This was the first time I saw Ruo Zao like this. I was surprised by the strong contrast, but also felt my heart beating fast.

I was thinking about what kind of opening line I could use to express that I noticed the thought she put into dressing up for a date with me.

But she was keenly aware of my approach, and she looked at me with a slightly sharp gaze, and then the indifference in her eyes turned into a tenderness like spring water, revealing a heart-stirring smile:

"What's wrong with you? You look so surprised..."

"Ah, is that obvious?"

I touched my cheek and realized that I had done little to cover it up.

"No, it's just because Ruo Zao only has eyes for you."

...I feel like this sounds familiar. Did I say this to someone before?

Putting aside the slightly strange emotions, I skillfully took Ruozao's hand and said frankly:

"Ruo Zao is so beautiful today. I was just stunned by her."

Ruo Zao lowered her head shyly, held my hand tightly, and spoke with tenderness and affection:

"Oh, if you like it, that's great... This is just something I have to pay attention to in order to spend this precious time with you."

I thought about it for a moment and understood the reason: "That's right. If we meet in public in our normal appearance, it will be too conspicuous."

After all, he was the Disaster Fox among the Seven Prisoners, and that look had long been known to the public.

Ruo Zao nodded: "That's right, if you're just following the teacher or meeting in private, it's fine, but if it's a situation like now, it's better to change."

Noticing the key words, I was speechless for a moment, and after a while I asked hesitantly:

"…Ruo Zao, tracking, what's going on?"

"Hehe~ Please don't pay attention to such details~"

Ruo Zao smiled like a flower: "Ruo Zao, I know that you are usually busy with official duties. Although I think of you countless times every day, every time I think of you, I will feel depressed deep in my heart, and even my body will feel hot and unbearable...

"But I won't disturb you for this reason. I will be happy if I can just watch you quietly in the dark, give you my insignificant strength, and drive away some ignorant insects~"

It's such a heavy emotion.

Now that I think about it, it seems that I haven’t met Ruozao much recently. We basically just chatted through momotalk, and we also had one or two short video calls.

I felt quite pressured and shook my head, saying, "Ruozao, if you want to see me, just come to Xialai directly. There's no need to follow me."

"Yeah~ I totally understand~"

hope so.

After exchanging a few pleasantries with Ruo Zao, I started to visit the festival with her.

As a student of the One Hundred Demons Night Parade, Ruozao had naturally participated in the Sakura Festival before.

Relying on her past experience, she made plans for today's date in advance, and as a guide, she brought a completely different travel experience for me and Izumi Naoto.

"The first store I'm going to take you to sell special cherry blossom-flavored snacks during the cherry blossom festival~"

Ruo Zao introduced it proudly: "Although it is a small shop with poor business and not many people know about it, the taste of their water chestnut cake is really good. I hope to let the teacher try it~"

After a while.

Ruozao and I looked at each other from afar, speechless, at a shop whose queue of customers was so overflowing that it almost took up half the street.

Ruo Zao said unwillingly: "Wow... why are there so many people..."

"Gold will always shine one day."

I consoled her, "This shows that the snacks that Ruo Zao likes are indeed quite delicious. It's a good thing that the store's business is improving."

However, considering the number of people queuing, it seems we won’t be able to get a seat, which is a bit of a pity.

"...Same."

Ruozao took a deep breath and calmed down. "Huhu, although the plan has been slightly disrupted, it is still within control. Teacher, please rest assured. Ruozao, I have done the research in advance and will definitely give you an unforgettable day!"
