Survive in Azure Files

Then, things seemed to be sliding down the uncontrollable direction.

"What?! Why is the couple-only game booth that is open every year not open this year?"

"It's not this year," the enthusiastic stall owner next to him explained, "He was here a few days ago, but today, there was a sudden happy event in his family, so he closed up and went back."

"Why, why is this happening..."

Ruozao was distraught, and I consoled her that she was fine. I was curious about what kind of mini-game it was, and why it was only for couples. Ruozao was still keeping me in suspense, saying that I would know when I saw it.

Well, as long as it’s a happy event.

"...Huhu, I won't be defeated like this!" Ruozao quickly regained her spirits and took my hand, "Teacher, let's go to the next place! There's a stage play with the theme of the Sakura Festival, which will be performed in the theater. I have already bought the tickets in advance, so there will definitely not be such a problem again~"

Indeed, such a problem did not occur again. The store was neither overcrowded with customers nor temporarily closed.

It was just that the theater had been bombed when we arrived.

Several bad students who were suspected to be the culprits laughed loudly while standing on the ruins of what used to be a theater:

"Hahaha! We are a group of demons! We will inherit that master's will! We will destroy the entire Night Parade of One Hundred Demons and the entire Sakura Festival!"

Miao Tianwan, who is about to face prison life, would surely cry with joy if he knew that there are people outside committing crimes under his name, so that he can be sentenced to an increased sentence, right?

When Ruo Zao saw this scene, she gritted her teeth, filled with murderous intent. She took off the fox mask tied around her waist and was about to put it on her face.

I quickly persuaded Ruozao to stop. It's not that I'm kindhearted, but I saw that the people from the training department had already arrived, and I felt that Ruozao didn't need to take action and cause trouble out of thin air during the date.

After I reminded her that we were still on a date, Ruo Zao suppressed her anger, tried to calm down as much as possible, and assured me with a smile:

"It's okay. I have many other schedules. Please look forward to it, teacher~"

But, in my opinion, Ruozao's smile seemed a bit forced.

It is said that there is a law that the less you want an event to happen, the more likely it is to happen.

At least today, this law has been fulfilled in Ruozao's case.

"Next!"

"The next one is definitely..."

"I...I won't give up..."

Ruozao's tone became increasingly shaken.

I don’t know what happened, but Ruo Zao’s plans kept going wrong one after another, and before I knew it, it was already evening.

On a bench by the roadside, Ruo Zao, who was full of energy and vigor in the morning, now sat forward in frustration, muttering: "How could this happen... How could this happen..."

Yes, how could this be? Does the word "disaster fox" mean a fox with bad luck?

Although this is a bit immoral, and even though I am also a victim and have been so unlucky, I can't help laughing.

After buying two drinks from the vending machine, I walked back to the bench:

"Don't be sad. Come on, which bottle do you want?"

"Ah... Thank you, teacher. You went out of your way to buy a drink for such a useless person like me..."

From this, it can be seen that Ruozao is still feeling aggrieved about the various unexpected situations that happened that day.

I burst out laughing: "What are you talking about? How are you useless?"

"I finally had the chance to spend time with you... It could have been the best day ever, but it was ruined because of my fault..."

Ruo Zao took off the fox mask tied around her waist, blocking my view of her face, and said apologetically: "It is obviously me who took up the teacher's time. I, I don't have the face to face the teacher anymore... I'm really sorry..."

It really is like I am too embarrassed to see you.

The cute behavior that was revealed unintentionally almost melted my heart.

I only exerted a little force and successfully pulled the mask out of Ruozao's hand. She only resisted symbolically.

But without the mask, Ruozao covered her face with her hands again, and I had to continue holding her wrist.

Ruozao then turned her back and I held her shoulders and turned her back; then she lowered her head and I lifted her chin.

This kind of interaction is just playfulness between young lovers.

I fought with the persistent fox for several more rounds until she tearfully accused me of bullying. I finally stopped with satisfaction and stroked her head:

"Thanks to Ruozao, I had an unforgettable and fun day today. I should say that I am very happy to see Ruozao working hard."

Ruo Zao was slightly stunned: "...Ah, you mean no matter what happened today, it didn't cause a commotion?"

I asked in confusion, “Huh?”

"Eh? Um, did I understand it wrongly?"

“Ah, I am very happy about this.”

Ruo Zao immediately smiled happily: "Because today is the time you specially arranged for me. I don't want to cause any commotion during such precious time."

I decided to take the fact that I was actually sending group messages to my grave.

Obviously, this was indeed the time I specially arranged for Ruozao, after all, no one else agreed.

"I understand that if you let people know my true identity, you will definitely feel troubled, just like yesterday. So, it is natural for me to work hard to avoid that."

Only then did I realize that Ruozao seemed to have misunderstood what I said yesterday in front of Izuna, the bad guys in Chimeizu, the festival management committee, and the training department. I gave her the identity of another student who was pretending to be Ruozao in order to avoid trouble for myself.

How should I put it... there is indeed such a factor involved, but the main purpose is to preserve Ruozao's reputation in the mercenary world.

But there's probably no need to say this, as if I were taking credit for myself.

Besides, Ruo Zao doesn't seem to care much about her own reputation, at least compared to the position I hold in her heart.

Okay, okay, now I know Ruozao really likes me.

There's no way. After all, I was born with a face that could make a fox demon fall in love with me, and this was confirmed by the card.

I can only say that I am truly deeply sinful...

"Also, I'm sorry for saying this without permission..."

Under the sunset glow, Ruo Zao's cheeks flushed slightly, and she declared solemnly:

"But the time I spend with you like today will definitely not be just this once. There will definitely be several times, dozens, hundreds of times in the future... When I think about this, I feel that I must endure it."

Hearing these words, the softness in my heart was touched, and my tone became softer:

"Yes, that's right. We still have a long time to spend together in the future."

"Um……"

The fox-eared beauty looked at me with a shy expression and love, which was really a desperate situation.

"But," I changed the subject, "I want to say that your efforts, Ruozao, are not limited to this."

"Eh? That's...?"

"Ruo Zao, are you working hard on making a plan?"

Ruo Zao shook her head and denied, "Teacher, just like I said just now, this is just my job. To say that I have worked hard is really... Besides, I messed it all up..."

As she spoke, Ruo Zao became ashamed and sad again.

However, the next moment, she felt a familiar and warm hand covering her head again, accompanied by gentle words.

"Although I couldn't experience it in person because of all sorts of accidents, it's still very interesting just to know a little bit about it, and I can also feel the care and love that you put into it. Ah, just thinking about it makes me look forward to it."

I looked at the clouds in the sky, and then at the beauty beside me: "So, I will save this expectation for the next Sakura Festival. Then, let's go on a date together?"

Ruo Zao looked at me infatuatedly, happiness overflowing from the bottom of her heart, her smile was bright and gentle, and she nodded heavily:

"Well, until then, please take good care of me~"

After making a pinky promise with Ruozao, we started chatting while drinking drinks.

Seeing that the atmosphere was harmonious, I asked a question that I had been curious about since yesterday:

"By the way, what's going on between you and Yukino?"

"Yukino?"

Ruo Zao tilted her head in confusion, then suddenly realized something, and showed some hostility:

"The captain of the FOX team? Humph. That vixen... I don't have much contact with her, and we can't chat. I just maintain a tacit understanding for your sake."

I couldn't help but look at Ruozao's fox ears and tail, and thought to myself that Xue Nai is a vixen, so why aren't you, Ruozao?

But to be honest, Yukino is a person who upholds justice. Even though her sense of justice has been somewhat corrupted by the cruel reality of the SRT school closure incident, and she is even willing to let Wakamo go for me, she is still a relatively lawful party.

As for Ruozao, although she behaves well-behaved and obedient in front of me, her nature cannot be said to be very kind and she still needs to be educated.

If these two people can really get along, they can only be loyal to me?

Although it may not sound right, this word is indeed the most appropriate.

After getting a general understanding of the relationship between my two foxes, I changed the subject.

By the time we finished our drinks, night had already fallen.

Ruozao and I held hands and strolled along the bustling streets, buying a bowl of steaming fried noodles from a roadside stall to share.

In a little while, it should be the time I agreed to meet with Izuna.

Just as I was thinking this.

"teacher?"

Hearing the familiar voice, I turned around and saw Izuna staring at me and Wakamo being so intimate, with her mouth wide open.

Chapter 99: The Night of Fireworks

Let’s go back to a recent past.

At the festival venue, a bright and lovely girl, with a smile on her face, walked more briskly than usual, looking left and right.

There were busy stalls on both sides of the street. Izunai smelled the aroma of food in the air, feeling excited and worried.

Needless to say, she was excited, but she was worried because there were so many delicious foods at the festival, and if she wanted to buy them all, her stomach wouldn't be able to hold them all.

After a difficult period of hesitation, Izuna made up his mind to make a decision: At this time, he can only rely on the ninja's perseverance to overcome it!

Besides, she can share it with others later.

Thinking of this, the smile on Izumi's face couldn't help but become even brighter.

After a while, she had a few more delicious snacks in her hands and continued to walk around while eating.

As a local of the One Hundred Demons Night Parade, Izumi has seen similar bustling scenes countless times since she was a child, but every time she participates in the festival, she has a new experience.

Your state of mind is different, and the people, things, and objects you see are also different, which naturally leads to new insights.

The only thing that remains unchanged is probably the natural smiles of the people who participate in the festival and immerse themselves in it.

However, this year, Izuna was not able to completely blend in with the crowd who were enjoying the festival wholeheartedly like in previous years.

It’s not that she didn’t want to, but when she thought about how she had believed Nyankawan’s deception some time ago and acted as an accomplice to the cat, and almost became an accomplice of the other party’s terrible plan, Izumi felt very ashamed, and then she couldn’t help but feel fortunate and sweet from the bottom of her heart.

Fortunately, Izuna met her destined person and did not make a big mistake.

He is gentle and handsome, willing to support her dreams, tolerate her immaturity, and pay for her mistakes in secret...

He is exactly the lord that Izuna has always dreamed of.

As for the slight unpleasantness of being deceived and backstabbed?

Izuna felt that it was all her own fault because she fell into the trap of the bad guys and the teacher had no choice but to do so.

Thinking back on the experiences of the past two days, Izumi suddenly felt dazed. It seemed like a dream, and the happiness seemed unreal.

Fortunately, this is reality.

Although Izuna did something wrong and is still a little embarrassed to face the teacher, because the teacher is very gentle to her and agreed to watch the fireworks with her tonight, Izuna feels that she has the courage to try.

Izumi is ready, and Xun takes advantage of the atmosphere of the festival to make a final move...to offer his loyalty to the teacher!

She is not a master, nor a legendary ninja, so she needs a ninja guard.

Just after the fireworks are set off, reveal your feelings~ Bear with me~

Even though Izuna is still very immature as a ninja and needs to practice hard to become a ninja worthy of her teacher, he will agree to her because she is her teacher.
