Survive in Azure Files

"Still not working!?"

After I collected it and expressed my gratitude, Yazi stubbornly said that he had accidentally sent it to the wrong person, and threatened to punish me if I didn't forget it quickly.

"Oh! That can't be helped!"

Maybe he wanted to be punished again. After all, we haven't seen each other for nearly half a month. But even so, I still have to sigh that the mother-in-law loves his dog.

"Emergency evasion technique!"

If you want to meet, just come to Xialai when you have time. I have to take the initiative to ask for a meeting or be on duty. It seems like I have no choice. However, the intensity of her work as an administrative officer of the Discipline Committee may make it difficult for her to find time...

By the way, what is the emergency avoidance technique?

Just as I had a bad premonition, the next moment, I heard a bang and smoke quickly spread across the street.

Someone was relieved and smugly talking to himself, "Huh... This way, I can move without being exposed~ Hold on~"

Do you still think you are very clever?

At first, I saw that Izuna seemed to want to hide her tracks. Although I didn't know the reason, I still tried my best to ignore her already exposed and pretended not to notice.

I didn't expect this little fox to use smoke bombs directly in a residential area...

Do you really think I'm A-Lu?

I had enough of the ninja and pulled out my phone to dial the number.

A bell rang not far away, and Izuna's exclamation could be heard clearly:

“Wow, ah! Cell phone! H-I’m going to turn it off like this? Huh!?”

Izuna seemed to be frantically operating, but finally answered the call:

"Lord, my lord?"

I looked in the direction where the voice came from: "Izuna, what are you doing now?"

"Izumi, Izumi is currently... undergoing ninja training..."

Hearing this answer that was full of guilt, I couldn't help but laugh out loud at Izuna's silly cuteness.

Because of my laughter, Izunai's tone became a little dazed and uneasy, and he called me tentatively, "My lord?"

I cleared my throat and asked in a deep voice, "So-called ninja training, does it mean following me secretly?"

“Ah! I’ve been discovered!”

The smoke gradually dissipated, and I saw the exposed Izunai walking up to me with her big round eyes:

"How could it be...how did you find Izuna!?"

It can be seen that Izunai really has no idea about the noise he is making.

"He was able to easily see through Izuna's proud tracking technique... Could it be...!" At this moment, the ninja girl thought of a possibility and became excited, "The lord is actually a ninja! He also discovered the location of the great demon king, Meowtenmaru, who used the aura concealment technique and Izuna had never noticed before!"

When did Miao Tianwan have such a nickname? !

"As the Art of War says, the false is real, the real is false... Hmm! My lord's previous denial was really to hide his identity? On the surface, he is just an ordinary teacher hiding in the city, but secretly he is a legendary ninja?"

First of all, I think that in Kivotos, a place where students govern, reading as a teacher and writing as a federal official should not be considered unremarkable.

Secondly, what kind of urban template cool novel plot is this?

I shook my head and said politely, "I won't lie to Izuna a second time."

“Is that so… What a pity…”

Izuna was a little disappointed, but soon smiled brightly again:

"But it doesn't matter~ My Lord, as long as you are my Lord, that's enough~"

It was a heartwarming reply, especially when it was said by the cute and naive Izuna, one could feel the sincerity behind it.

I reached out to rub Izuna's head, and she giggled and moved her head closer to me to facilitate my movements. It was very interesting to see her tail wagging happily.

"By the way, why did you follow me today?"

Moreover, he had been following me from a distance since I left Xialai in the morning, riding in the same carriage of the same tram, all the way from DU to Shanhaijing, and only disappeared when I walked into the Plum Garden.

Afterwards, because I was busy taking care of the children in the Plum Garden, I temporarily put this matter out of my mind. As a result, when I finished my trip in the Plum Garden and prepared to return to Xialai, Quannai followed me again, and it seemed that he had been waiting nearby.

Doesn't Izuna have her own life?

"Ah, that's because," Izuna puffed out his chest, "As a ninja, I have to protect my lord!"

...Why was it so sudden? Could it be that he learned bad things from Ruozao?

Somehow, I suddenly recalled my mentality when I first came to Kivotos.

At that time, due to my lack of understanding of the situation and my fear of the students, I didn't even dare to go out on my own without Kirino's protection.

Now, I have the confidence to get out of the conflict among bad students safely.

Looking back on the past, it seems like a lifetime ago.

I felt nostalgic for a moment and then dispelled the feeling of nostalgia in my heart.

"A few days ago, Izuna told you that she was worried about something."

This really happened. It was mentioned on momotalk.

After opening with her shock that she had no recollection of when she added me as a friend, Izuna told me that she couldn't sleep at night because of a certain trouble.

However, as soon as I replied, Izuna said that the trouble had been solved.

As a ninja, you should take action before worrying.

This is what Izuna said.

"So, what is the trouble?" I asked curiously.

"Actually, it's about the lord's troubles!"

"about me?"

"That's right!" Izunai said to me seriously, "One time, Izunai suddenly thought of it. The lord is a very great person. In that case... it's not surprising that the lord is targeted by bad guys anytime and anywhere!"

I gasped and said in shock, "How could this happen?!"

"Yes! My Lord, the incident with Meow Tenmaru is still fresh in our memory. We must not take it lightly!"

Izumi's eager look piqued my interest:

"So what should we do?"

"In order to protect the lord from bad guys and enable him to work with peace of mind, is there anything Izuna can do to help? Izuna has been worrying about this problem for the past few days. After worrying for a long time, she finally came to a conclusion!"

Izumi took a deep breath and said solemnly: "It means monitoring your every move from morning to night and staying by your side to protect you!"

I was stunned. Judging from Izuna's tone, it didn't sound like she was joking at all. And given Izuna's simple and stubborn personality, and her determination to never turn back even if she hit a wall, it's possible that she would do something like this.

I'm sorry, I was presumptuous. When it comes to extremes, Rukamo should learn from Izuna!

In short, what kind of words should I use to politely reject Izuna's disturbing kindness without making her sad?

"No, it's too early for Izuna to enjoy the adult nightlife!"

If I say that, I might end up on a very strange path...

I couldn't help but salivate and was eager to try it, but looking at the girl's face which was somewhat coquettish but also innocent, I felt that I should not rush into anything.

Just be patient for now.

"I am also touched that Izuna thinks this way. But."

I said worriedly, "Izuna is still a student. In addition to schoolwork, she also has to practice ninja skills. Is it really okay for her to be with me all day?"

"No problem! Izuna can overcome such a small matter with her ninja's willpower!"

"…So, how do we do it specifically?"

Izuna said proudly: "Whether it's studying or practicing, we can just do it when the lord is sleeping!"

I was shocked: "No, no, no, you will have health problems if you do this!?"

"It's okay. A good ninja should give everything for his lord, even if it means sacrificing his life~" Izumi said excitedly, "There are also related plots in period dramas!"

Otherwise, let Izuna know the world of adults in advance...

I feel like Izumi will really do this, so I start from the ninja side and try to prescribe the right remedy:

"But there are countless examples of missions failing due to poor condition, right?"

Izuna was stunned for a moment, and said in a tangled way: "Hmm! If Izuna relied on her willpower... No, as an outstanding ninja, Izuna can't deal with the safety of the lord with such a half-hearted attitude... She almost made such a mistake! What should I do...?"

Seeing that Izuna looked like she was about to cry, I hurriedly said:

"Actually, I think Izuna doesn't need to worry about this."

"Eh? Why?"

"Because, I don't usually run into bad people with bad intentions towards me, and Meow Tenmaru has already been brought to justice. By the way, he should be operating a sewing machine now, right?"

"No, no! You can't be so careless!"

Izuna waved her hands and began to give me examples: "It's always played like this in period dramas. Whenever the lord of a city is careless and sets up a banquet to drink and sing...he will be attacked by the enemy!"

"Period drama?"

"Yes! This is the predetermined development! It's a convention of period dramas!"

This is probably to add drama, don't think it will just happen in real life.

"You don't have to worry too much about this, Izuna."

"Eh? Why?" Izunai suddenly thought of something and looked around vigilantly, "Could it be that - my lord, you have other guards in secret! Besides Izunai and that vixen?"

What Izuna was referring to was naturally Wakamo.

Because Izuna and I had agreed not to mention my relationship with Wakamo to anyone else, Izuna naturally used this word to refer to it.

So when you say this about others, have you ever considered the fact that you are also a fox?

"That's not the case." Although several figures, led by a mysterious little angel, flashed through my mind at the first moment, I still firmly denied it, "Besides, even if I really encounter any danger one day, Izuna will rush to save me as soon as possible, right?"

"Eh? That's true, but if Izuna isn't by your side..."

My hand fell on Izuna's head again, gently interrupting her.

"Izuna, you said that your lord is a very powerful person." I said softly, "So, believe me, and believe in yourself who I believe in."

As I said this, I subconsciously looked down at my waist.

I recently added a finger-sized fox doll to the keychain I hang on my belt.

That is the product of Izuna's trust in me.

-

Smelting Power: [Fox's Guardian]

Description: You can designate a [small fox-shaped doll] as a carrier, giving it the [substitute] feature, but you cannot replace the carrier.

Source: Hisada Izuna's strategy was successful

-

Since cards have never been described in detail, I still don't know the specific effect of this power.

Anyway, there is no evil spirit behind me that can control me.

And because this power is suspected to be effective only once, I can't just use it for experiments. But if I interpret it literally, if it is really as I guessed...

This may be the most precious power I have ever obtained.

Of course, power may be strong or weak, but the source of power is equally important in my heart. Every symbol of their love is worth cherishing.

Except for a certain geometry textbook.

All I can say is that the further you look back, the more helpful it is for sleeping.

At this time, Izuna spoke:

"Yes! Izuna understands! Although it's a pity that I can't be your personal guard... Izuna will definitely work hard to become a stronger ninja and live up to the lord's trust! Bear with it~"

Obviously, she interpreted it differently, probably based on her own way of thinking, and came to a different conclusion than I intended.

But seeing the ninja girl's high morale, I felt that since the main goal had basically been achieved, there was no need to correct the details.
