Survive in Azure Files

I was thinking, should I end my daily routine for today and go back first.

Actually, I still have some work to do. If I go back now, maybe I can squeeze out some time.

Just as I was thinking about whether it was appropriate to say this, Izuna hesitated and called me, "Teacher..."

"I'm here, what's wrong?"

Izuna looked ashamed: "Well, Izuna has caused a lot of trouble for you all, I am really sorry."

Still feeling uneasy about this matter.

It is enough to show that Izunai is a good child with a kind character.

"It's okay, it's all over," I said gently, "Izuna was just deceived, no one will blame Izuna."

"Hmm... Teacher, Izuna... No, the current Izuna needs more training..."

Izuna seemed to want to say something, looking at the dreamy and brilliant but fleeting fireworks, "As long as I keep working hard... sooner or later, I will become a student that the teacher is proud of... By that time, Izuna will be able to achieve my dream..."

Is the order of these words reversed?

Why do you have to make me proud first before I can achieve my dream of becoming the strongest ninja in Kivotos...

No, it seems that Izuna’s dream is not just this one.

Could it be that Izuna's hesitation to speak, her attitude towards me, and her other behaviors all point to her other dream?

Thinking about it this way, I guess I am the only one who can realize Izuna's dream.

I turned my eyes to the ninja girl who was standing beside me in the bustling crowd, but looked a little lonely, and said slowly:

"Izuna, I have a question for you."

Izuna cheered up: "Well, teacher, please feel free to ask questions. I will try my best to answer them."

"I remember you said before," I said in a deep voice, "that you were looking for a lord worthy of your lifelong loyalty, right?"

"Yeah...but..."

"Look at my face," I asked earnestly, "Am I suitable to be your master?"

Izuna was stunned for a moment, his eyes widened in disbelief, and suddenly brightened and sparkled.

"Teacher... No, lord!"

We immediately changed to a new name and established a new relationship. Suddenly, Izuna rushed into my arms with such amazing momentum that I almost fell.

"My Lord... My Lord! My Lord~"

The ninja girl was pushing against my chest, and suddenly a burning heat emerged from my chest pocket, as if she didn't notice it.

I silently noted this, and stopped paying attention to this trivial matter that seemed insignificant at the moment, and focused all my attention on Izuna:

"I'm here."

"Hehehe~ So the lord has the same idea~ That's great. Izuna has always been worried about whether she will be rejected, whether the lord will think she is troublesome, or whether he doesn't need her at all..."

The girl poured out to me all the worries that had been bothering her for a long time.

I patted her back gently, listened silently, and felt warm in my heart.

"Izunai is here to swear allegiance to you!"

Izuna buried her head in my chest, and her voice sounded a little dull, but I could hear the joy and determination in it.

"In that case, I accept it with great joy."

I stroked Izuna's hair and responded to her call. I made up my mind to do my best to take care of the lovely Izuna in the future.

Just like I treat everyone else.

Finally, the fox-eared girl who aimed to become the strongest ninja reluctantly left her lord whom she had finally obtained, her pretty face slightly flushed.

"Am I dreaming?" Izuna patted her cheeks lightly, looking particularly cute and naive.

"Hmm... isn't it?"

I pretended to be silent: "If that's the case, then never wake up."

"Okay! Izuna got it!"

The energy seemed to have returned to Izunai. She put her hands behind her back, took a half step back, and smiled a little shyly but overflowing with happiness:

"Please always take care of Izuna from now on!"

Fireworks bloomed behind the girl, and the moment seemed eternal.

Then, a hand suddenly rested on Izuna's shoulder, causing Izuna, who was still immersed in the joy of recognizing her master, to shudder.

"I have also felt your feelings for the teacher."

Ruozao watched the whole process silently, with approval and recognition in her eyes, and said kindly from the bottom of her heart: "Haha~ Izuna-san, let's get along well from now on~"

But the next moment, Ruozao's face turned sour again.

It seems that Izuna asked out of instinct:

"Why are you still here?"

Otherwise, where do you think Ruo Zao can go?

Izuna is good in every way, except that sometimes she is a little silly and does things that make people laugh and cry.

Of course, if algae are the same in this regard, the destructiveness seems to be even higher...

Among the three tamed foxes in my house, Yukino is the most well-behaved and the least troublesome.

If you ignore the unpleasantness when you first meet.

Ruo Zao closed her eyes, took a deep breath as if to calm herself down.

Then, the notorious disaster fox Wakamo gave a sinister smile to the trembling ordinary student Izuna:

"Be nice and get along, for my dear. Okay?"

"Ah! If it's to protect the lord!"

Izuna hesitated and stretched out her hand, and gently shook hands with Ruozao, but they almost separated at the touch.

It seems that these two foxes, big and small, have become friends.

I smiled slightly and said nothing. I temporarily forgot my intention to leave and looked at the fireworks rising in the distance.

Forget all your worries for now and just focus on the beauty of the moment.

And with anticipation for a brand new tomorrow.

End of volume remarks

After nearly 27 words, this volume has finally come to an end. It has far exceeded the sum of the first two volumes. Looking back, it was really long.

Although the heroine of this volume is a little fox, she doesn't officially appear until chapter 60, worthy of being a ninja! (laughs)

Speaking of which, the length of this volume did surprise me a bit. I thought it would be finished in about 150,000 words, but it actually dragged on to an extra 100,000 words, and that was without any spamming. I can only say that daily life is indeed easy to write.

Now I feel that if I write all the current main plot and activities, it should be easy to exceed two to three million words... I hope I can persist until then, and I also hope that my long-form writing ability is enough to support the plot.

In short, thank you readers for your support. I will work hard to create better content and bring you a more comfortable reading experience as much as possible!

Next volume preview:

Faced with the crisis of being abolished, in order to protect the last pure land, the girls will bravely move towards the unknown and create a shocking masterpiece!

Act II Game Development Department and Lost Paradise

Chapter 1 The Work of an Instructor

On a spring afternoon, the sun is warm and the weather is mild, which is a great time to take a nap.

Presumably, at this moment, Hoshino is lazily lying on a bed made of empty desks, sleeping soundly with a whale pillow in his arms, by the window where the sun shines.

Chun must have been practicing hard as usual on the soft grass beside the Red Panda River.

If possible, I would also like to spend a lazy and leisurely afternoon like them.

But the reality is, I am just like Yuuka, who doesn't even have time to date me. I am tied up in trivial matters and have to work hard.

I had just finished a busy period and had just sat down on the chair when a new task came up.

The lovely girl tugged at my sleeves, raised her small face, and smiled at me innocently:

"Teacher~I want to be lifted up high~Can I?"

"of course can."

I pulled myself together and replied with a smile.

The girl immediately opened her arms excitedly, and I held her under the armpits, stood up suddenly and raised my hands high, walked a few steps towards the open space, and turned around on the spot.

"Wow, it really feels like I'm flying!" The girl giggled, looking very happy.

After turning around a few times, I put the girl back on the ground. The girl recalled the feeling just now and said to me from the bottom of her heart:

"Thank you, teacher!"

At this time, our conspicuous behavior had naturally attracted the attention of others.

At least a dozen girls, after noticing what was happening here, put down what they were doing, came over, formed a circle around me, and made the same request to me in an unison.

"Ah, so cunning! Teacher, I want one too! I want one too!"

"I want to lift it up high, too, teacher!"

As expected, it will turn out like this.

I sighed in my heart, put on a kind smile, and said in a coaxing tone:

"Okay, okay, I'll do it for everyone. Don't worry, just line up and come one by one."

In fact, this is just coaxing children.

I am currently in the Education Support Department of Shanhaijing, Plum Garden.

Plum Garden is not only the name of the club, but also the name of the kindergarten. Those who come to me to play the lifting game are all children who are still in kindergarten.

The reason why I am here is obvious.

I was asked by instructor Shun Haruhara of Plum Garden to help take care of the children.

To be honest, this job is more difficult than I initially imagined.

Whether it was the children's excessive energy, their strong curiosity about various things, or their slightly shrill noises as they had not yet entered the voice change period, all of them made me feel a little overwhelmed to deal with.

Fortunately, none of them are those annoying naughty kids. On the contrary, they are all well-behaved and cute, at least in front of me.

But in front of some people...it's hard to say.

"Everyone, don't pester the teacher like this!"

At this time, a girl who was older than the other children but still looked childish and obviously still a child, but could barely be called a girl, came over with a stern face and reminded them:

"It will cause trouble for the teacher!"

The girl has silver-white hair, tied into two ponytails with black bows. There is a strand of black highlight in her bangs on her forehead, as well as the hair on the animal ears on top of her head, which gradually changes from white to black.

She has a pair of pure and lively red eyes, a round and small face with a bit of baby fat, a petite and thin figure, a soft voice and a deliberately imitating adult-like tone, which makes her look even more adorable.

Perhaps it was for this reason that the children in Plum Garden were clearly not very impressed by what she said.

Especially those who had not been lifted high by me, started to protest.

"Hey~ Be careful, it might spoil the fun!"

"That's what I mean, Xiao Xinnai really doesn't know how to read the atmosphere~"
