Survive in Azure Files

"It doesn't matter. If we don't keep this pace, we won't be able to complete the mission today. Okay, I'll be back soon!"

I watched Qinxiang's back disappear around the corner of the street again, looked up at the sun hanging high in the sky, and silently made up my mind that I must work harder.

"Hello, please take a look at this flyer, thank you."

I raised my voice, put on a business-like smile, and expanded the range of the flyers in the opposite direction of Serika.

Although her work efficiency is still far lower than that of the part-time job master Qinxiang.

Anticipating that Qinxiang would be back soon, I went back to the sack containing the flyers and started to sort them.

At this moment, brisk footsteps sounded behind me. I stood up with a stack of flyers in my hand and turned around:

"Give……"

"what!"

I was so scared that my hands were shaking and I almost lost my grip on the flyer.

“Ahahaha~☆clang——Are you scared?”

Isn't this nonsense! Suddenly a voice was spoken!

I smiled wryly and said, "Haha, you really scared me."

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry~” The girl put her hands together and expressed her sincere apology to me. Her tone was full of joy. “I found the teacher while taking a walk, so I ran over happily. I had a little bad intention.”

It can be seen that she is really happy.

Someone who is usually so gentle actually has the idea of ​​standing behind me and scaring me. Or does this mean that our relationship has taken a step further?

I was thinking this in my heart, and asked:

"Nomiya, why are you here?"

Yes, the person who came was Nomiya-san, the only one in the Abydos Countermeasures Committee that I had not conquered.

She and I have a pretty good relationship, and she was even willing to secretly be my lap pillow, but for some reason, the card didn't judge her as a successful capture.

Maybe it's just the finishing touch?

All in all, even if Nomiya hasn't completely fallen in love with me yet, he will definitely fall in love with me soon.

"Hmm? You ask me why I'm here?"

Nomiya looked around, came closer, and said to me mysteriously, "Actually, I was secretly following Serika."

"what?"

"I lost her because I followed too far behind," Nomiya sighed, "I don't know where she ran off to. But I did run into the teacher by chance~ Maybe today is my lucky day~"

As he spoke, a sincere smile appeared on Nomiya's face again.

"No, I want to ask, why are you following Serika?"

"Well, this...it doesn't matter what I said to the teacher."

Nomiya looked slightly worried, and he moved closer, his lips almost touching my ear:

"actually……"

Chapter 10: Master Qinxiang, Nomiya is behind

As Nomiya came closer, my arms naturally sank into the soft embrace.

I couldn't help but compare her with Hoshino Shirako, and when I thought about Abydos's situation and Nomiya's wealthy family, I gained a new understanding of the role of acquired nutritional intake in growth.

So, next time you go to Abydos, should you bring a few boxes of milk for Ayane and Serika?

At this moment, the hot breath from Nomiya hit my earlobe, making my heart itch unbearably——

Even without Kadai's admission, Nomiya definitely has a crush on me!

Then, the rather enthusiastic young lady's worried words reached my ears:

"Qingxiang seems to be doing some strange work recently."

The beauty in my heart was instantly replaced by surprise and doubt.

No way, I got cheated again so soon?

I was just worried that Qinxiang might be fooled again after a while, but I didn't expect it to happen so soon.

As for why she was certain that she was deceived... With Qinxiang's upright character, if she knew that she was doing something illegal, she would definitely not do it again, just like last time.

But it is possible that what Nomiya was referring to was the last time.

"Some time ago, Qinxiang was always listless at school, as if she didn't sleep well at night," Nomiya continued. "Out of concern, I did a little research and found out that Qinxiang was working as a customer service online... and the most important thing is! That online store actually!"

"They are secretly doing something illegal, and the store manager was arrested by Valkyrie some time ago. The verdict should be coming soon."

Nomiya took a few steps back and looked at me in surprise: "Eh? Teacher, how did you know that?"

You can't keep up with the version!

I secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that Serika had not been unintentionally exploited again in this short week, and replied:

"Because I was the one who discovered this case and reported it to the police. Of course, I have also discussed it with Qin Xiang."

"So this is ah!"

Nomiya suddenly realized and said to me with a smile: "As expected of you, teacher~ I have to thank you for your help again! This way, I can rest assured about Qinxiang~ for now~"

Then, she cast her eyes to the sack of flyers next to me: "By the way, I don't know what you are busy with, teacher? Have you seen Qinxiang passing by?"

I'm a little embarrassed.

Qinxiang asked me to help with the part-time job, probably because she didn't want her classmates and seniors at school to know that she was doing this hard job.

I still remember that when I first arrived in Abydos, I told everyone on the Strategy Committee about Serika's part-time job at Shibaseki Ramen.

The proud and stubborn girl was very angry because of my betrayal.

Although it was common for Qinxiang to get angry and I could easily coax her into submission, Qinxiang also said at the time that there would not be a next time.

After all, I'd better not tell Nomiya that I'm working for Serika?

Just as I was gradually making up my mind, a pair of soft and boneless little hands held my hands up.

Nomiya shook my hand, with a pitiful look in his eyes, and said coquettishly:

"Hey~ Teacher, you know something, okay~ Hey~"

Oops, it's a sonar attack!

Fortunately, I am determined and keep my word, and I will never go back on my word.

I smiled proudly at the beautiful girl who tried to corrupt me:

"Actually, I'm here to help Serika with her part-time job today, distributing flyers."

Qinxiang said there wouldn’t be a next time, but I didn’t agree.

"Eh?"

Nomiya blinked her emerald eyes: "So the teacher was called out by Serika? How cunning! I clearly held back and didn't go shopping with the teacher."

She may have mentioned it unintentionally, but it actually sounded like she was reminding me intentionally.

With this reminder, I finally remembered that the agreement with Nomiya has not yet been fulfilled.

I scratched my face awkwardly: "I still remember it, but I've been too busy recently..."

In fact, this reason can be said to be completely untenable.

Although there are indeed various trivial matters recently, Xia Lai's work has become increasingly heavy, and other students will also take up my free time, but as long as I am willing, I can always squeeze out time.

Just like now, I was called out by Serika.

Ultimately, it's because I didn't pay enough attention.

I don't have a strong desire to shop, and Nomiya never brings it up on her own initiative, so going shopping with her when I have time is a low priority for me.

As soon as I thought of this, I felt a little guilty towards Nomiya, and I quickly assured him:

"Sorry, I will find the time as soon as possible..."

Before I could finish my words, a slender, soft, white finger that seemed to emit a luster, with body temperature and body fragrance, touched my lips.

"Hmm~ Teacher, your reaction is so cute." Nomiya's smile was as warm as the sun, with endless tolerance. "But you misunderstood, I didn't mean to rush you. Even if you have time, I may not be free~ So, I'm not in a hurry."

Nomiya withdrew his fingers, twisted his long, slightly curly flaxen hair that fell to his shoulders, and said something meaningful to me:

"There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Right?"

There was a hint of surprise in Nomiya's eyes, and I felt like I got to know her even better.

Whether she's aware of it or not, she knows how to tease people.

Looking at the girl's innocent and beautiful face and her graceful figure that made her school uniform's white shirt bulge out, I felt my heart beating hard.

Then he adjusted his trousers imperceptibly.

I solemnly promised again: "Of course. So, next time for sure."

"Yes, of course."

Nomiya narrowed his eyes and smiled, then remembered something: "Oh, by the way, teacher. I wanted to treat you to a parfait as a thank you for taking care of Serika... Although I don't quite understand it, it seems that it can't be done in a short time, right?"

I can’t tell whether it was a genuine thank you or just an excuse.

Probably a combination of both.

I nodded regretfully: "Yes, I should be busy until the evening."

"Hmm..." Nomiya closed his eyes and thought. When he opened them again, he smiled again and extended his hand to me. "Then please let me help you~"

"Will this be too much trouble for you?" I said in embarrassment, "Besides, if Qinxiang knew..."

"Then why don't you let her know~"

Nomiya urged with a smile: "Please hurry up~ Qinxiang will be back soon~"

Seeing that she was so kind and insisted on doing so, I couldn't refuse and took out five hundred copies from the sack first.

Nomiya weighed it in his hand and said, "Light! Light! Too light! Double the amount, please!"

I took another thousand copies.

Nomiya estimated the weight again and shook his head: "It's OK, add more."

"Come back and get them after these are distributed."

"It's easier to take more at a time, and there's still plenty in the bag."

Unable to resist Nomiya, I took more than a thousand copies, and the estimated weight was more than 20 kilograms.

But in the hands of the seemingly fragile girl, it seemed as light as a feather.

After all, Nomiya can usually carry a Gatling gun with him and use it as a weapon at will despite the huge recoil force.

You can imagine his extraordinary strength.

I then prepared to give specific instructions: "Distribute the flyers to..."

"Give it to pedestrians or put it in mailboxes, right? I know~"

Nomiya held up the leaflet with both hands, let out another "whoosh", and pressed his fruit on top to secure it.

Then, the girl smiled shyly at me who was looking at her in a daze: "Then I will leave first~"

After saying that, she ran away briskly in the opposite direction of Qinxiang.

Looking at Nomiya's back, and then looking back at Serika who appeared at the other end of the street, I couldn't help but fall into deep thought, and then I burst into laughter -

When people are in critical situations, they are sometimes more likely to think of quick wits, but sometimes they are more likely to reveal their flaws.

so……

Actually, Nomiya has been watching from the sidelines for a long time, right?

As expected, Nomiya had at least a favorable impression of me.

As for relationships, I don’t hate this level of scheming.
