Survive in Azure Files

Himari, who seemed to know little about this type of work, nodded and said, "That's about it. As you know, Liyin and I, who gave you the order to abolish the department, have been in opposition for a long time. It can almost be said that we are incompatible."

At this point, Himari sighed: "She wants to control everything, and I oppose controlling everything. If we use water as an analogy, if Liyin is like the water in the sewer, I am the crystal clear mineral water..."

The girl, who began to feel sorry for herself again, frowned slightly and began to worry about the appropriateness of the metaphor she used:

"Or rather, the rotten water floating on the surface of the purifier is more appropriate. In that case, I am the crystal of eternal snow. No, sewage, wastewater..."

I tried my best to keep my expression unchanged, trying to suppress the urge to laugh out loud.

How big of a dissatisfaction do you have with Liyin? Does she know that you are slandering Liyin behind her back, Rimu?

Of course, the more crucial factor is that I don’t have much aversion to Liyin.

Although Liyin did play the role of a villain in the disbandment of the game development department, this was largely due to the game development department's own fault.

What's more, judging from the fact that after Liyin made the decision to disband the department, she was willing to give a long explanation about the game development, Liyin probably has her own unique gentleness.

Even though Liyin's gentleness cannot be understood by most people, I will try my best to understand her. This is my responsibility as a teacher.

Besides, if not, how can I conquer Liyin as well?

I will not give up on any student, in every sense of the word.

In short, the current situation is that I am the only one who can hold on.

The girls in the game development department who were still resistant to Liyin's tough approach couldn't help but laugh.

Even the introverted Midori and Yuzu let out a very light laugh from between their fingers covering their mouths.

Tao Jing's reaction was even more exaggerated. He laughed out loud and said happily:

"Ahahaha~ Himari-senpai, your analogy for the president is really very vivid~"

"Right? And what about how I feel about myself? Ah, I see, it's not enough to describe all of me, right?"

...Has Himari really always been like this?

I don't know why, but when I see Himari boasting about everything, I always get a sense of déjà vu.

But the strange thing is that when I think about all the people I met in Kivotos, I can't find another person who is so narcissistic. I really don't understand why.

"Oh, by the way, I forgot to remind you. I'll let it go for now, but you better not say bad things about her within the Millennium."

Himari suddenly seemed to think of something and his expression straightened.

Tao Jing asked at the right time: "Why is that?"

"Given his gloomy and controlling personality, he probably monitors every corner of the school, right?"

In an instant, the air in the game development department's activity room dropped to freezing point.

Tao Jing's smile froze on her face. After a long while, she stammered and asked, "In other words...?"

Himari nodded. "Although Liyin usually has a lot of things to deal with and generally doesn't have the energy to spare, but maybe she is monitoring the situation here right now?"

I raised my eyebrows, thinking that if this was true, I might have unintentionally earned some points with Liyin.

Besides, Riju, isn't this basically the same as pointing at someone's nose and scolding them?

At the same time, all the girls in the game development department fell into a state of panic without exception.

Seeing this, Himari added, "Don't worry, even though he's a gloomy guy, because of that, even if he really knew that someone was saying bad things about him, he would just pretend that he didn't know it in his heart."

"That would be even more terrifying!" Tao Jing couldn't help but shout, "You never know when I'll be retaliated against!"

"Hmm... how should I put it." Himari pondered for a while and smiled slightly, "A robot like Liyin who only pursues rationality will not act on emotion so easily. There are so many students scolding her every day in Millennium. If she retaliates against ten students every day, it will take ten years before it is your turn."

I briefly recalled the total number of students in the millennium, and I just felt that Himari knew how to insult people.

However, I have a different guess about Liyin's reaction.

Based on my current impression of Liyin, maybe when she is alone, this millennial big sister who appears to be tough and rational to the outside world will hide in her quilt and be secretly depressed.

After hearing Himari's words of comfort, the girls in the game development department were still a little uneasy, but they all calmed down.

Right now, there are more important and immediate threats to deal with.

"It can't get any worse anyway," Midori muttered softly.

"Back to business."

Himari explained, "Given the bad relationship between Liyin and I, I will not intervene directly. If the arbitrary and suspicious tyrant thinks that I want to use this opportunity to turn you into a weapon to undermine her prestige, your situation will only become worse."

As she spoke, Himari sighed again, "Besides, as the strongest genius beautiful girl sickly hacker of the millennium, I am always entangled in various trivial matters. I really can't spare much time. This is also a big reason."

To be honest, I envy Riki for having such confidence in herself.

Unlike me, I have always been objective in my evaluation of myself, even to the point of being on the low side.

But if I follow this format, how should I call myself?

Xia Lai... No, the most honest, upright, gentle, kind, honest, reliable and handsome teacher in Kivotos?

If it were just this, it wouldn’t seem enough to fully summarize my characteristics, but adding too many adjectives would make it seem too lengthy.

I had no choice but to give up for now and plan to ask Riju for advice again when I have a chance in the future.

"So, let me provide you with information that can help you~"

"Himari-senpai, please stop keeping us in suspense and serve it quickly!"

"Haha~ You're so eager, but since it's a request from your lovely junior, I'll try to skip the foreshadowing and make it short."

Even though she said that, Himari continued to elaborate like an old lady: "After learning about the situation you and Liyin faced head-on, I thought of an urban legend I had heard before."

She suddenly changed her tone to a mysterious one: "As members of the game development department, you should have heard of the story of [G.Bible], right?"

Hearing this, Momoi and Yuzu gasped at the same time and exclaimed, "G.Bible!?"

Himari nodded, "G.Bible."

Midori and I looked confused: "G.Bible?"

"Ah, teacher, you haven't heard of it, right?" Tao Jing explained to me enthusiastically, "To put it simply, in the past millennium, no, in the past Kiwotos, there was a legendary producer."

Yuzu followed up with a look of longing: "The so-called G.Bible is the Bible of the game that the producer made when he was a student at Millennium."

I understood. It turned out to be the abbreviation of Game Bible.

"I don't know the details... but I heard that it contains secret methods for making the best games."

Midori was hesitant about this: "...Um, could this be an advertisement for a game production school?"

"No way! There must be a real gaming bible that can help you make the best games by studying it!"

After refuting her sister, Taoi cast an expectant look at Hinami: "Hinami-senpai, could it be that you have already obtained the G.Bible?"

"Hum~"

Himari closed her eyes confidently, "Of course not."

"Eh?"

"In fact, I don't even know if it really exists." Himari shook her head and smiled at the lost Momoi, "But as long as the G.Bible exists, we in the Ministry of Truth will definitely find its location."

On the TV screen, the Minister of Truth had a gentle look in his eyes:

"For the rest, you can only rely on your own strength. As for the information about the location of the holy relic needed to defeat the Demon King, let me, a super sage genius beautiful hacker, provide it to you~"

Chapter 13: No Regrets for Killing My Sister

After agreeing to assist the game development department in finding the location of the legendary "G.Bible", Hinami disconnected.

As the fluorescent TV screen returned to darkness, the girls in the game development department looked at each other with mixed feelings.

"Um... is this really okay?"

Yuzu said nervously, "Sure enough, even if we really find the G.Bible, we may not be able to make a game that is good enough to win an award in the Millennium Club Competition..."

Green looked worried, and added, "And the club's membership has not yet been resolved."

"At this point, there is no better way, right?"

Although she can be said to be as holy as ever, or perhaps because of this, when faced with difficulties, Taoi is always the most decisive one.

Of course, in most cases, it is more appropriate to use the word "reckless".

In any case, such a Taoi can inspire her companions who tend to have negative thoughts:

"We can always find a way to recruit new people. As for now, let's focus on the preparations for game development and wait for news from the Ministry of Truth!"

"That's right. Worrying too much about things that haven't happened will only make you miss the opportunity to work hard now."

I agreed, using the analogy that the game development department could understand best: "Like the protagonists in an RPG with a turn limit, before they have reached the number of turns to set out in search of the legendary holy sword, they should first focus on leveling up and improving their attributes, right?"

Yuzu thought for a moment, "Indeed, that's true... Regardless of whether or not we can obtain the holy sword that can defeat the Demon King, leveling up by killing monsters is a must."

"Oh! I know that!" Tao Jing became excited. "During this period, we also need to get to know various collaborators who can help with the adventure journey and improve the cooking level, right!"

"It's coop, silly sister. How did you get into high school?"

Midori complained about Momoi's poor English skills, then looked at me with a shy and quiet smile:

"Teacher, thank you for your encouragement. I will definitely not let you down. I will cheer up and work with everyone to do my best to preserve our club."

Tao Jing's eyes turned, and she flashed between Midori and me, and asked expectantly:

"What about me? Shouldn't I thank my sister too?"

However, what responded to her was an impatient hand.

Midori, who pushed Tao Jing away, seemed to click her tongue and said, "You're so annoying. Go away and stop blocking me from talking to the teacher. It's very rude to suddenly butt in."

"What!?"

Tao Jing was shocked, confused and lost: "Midori, have you entered the rebellious phase?"

Hearing this, Lu got anxious for some reason: "Sister, what are you talking about! Aren't we twins? We are already past the age of rebelliousness!"

Looking at the Geminis, who are considered petite and youthful among their peers, and then estimating their age, it feels difficult to say.

"Then what's wrong with you?" Tao Jing's expression changed and turned into anger, accusing, "You treat me and the teacher differently!"

"I, I don't!" Midoriya denied.

"Yes!"

"no!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

"No, no, no!"

Tao Jing and Midori became more and more excited as they argued, and even started fighting.

I suddenly realized that watching girls fight for me seemed quite interesting.

Just a little bit crumbly.

Just as I was about to speak up to stop them, Yuzu, who is the head of the game development department but the most timid and shy person in the club, showed rare courage.

She forced her way between the two sisters, separated them, and took a deep breath:

"Please stop arguing and use a game to decide the winner."

Even though he still stuttered a bit when speaking, it was quite a feat considering my impression of Yuzu.

"Excuse me, teacher, please wait a moment."

"Yes, the winner will be decided soon."

Taoi and Midori glared at each other, snorted at the same time, and looked away, but their bodies moved skillfully, one took the game disc and the other started the game console, and soon, they sat in front of the TV screen, one on the left and one on the right, each holding a controller, and started a fierce battle in the fighting game.

"call……"

Yuzu let out a deep breath, as if all the courage she had gathered from nowhere had been released, and she returned to the timid look I remembered.

"S-Sorry, teacher, please sit down for a while... Oh, I forgot to make you some tea...! Ugh... Is it only black tea? The bottled kind..."

As she was talking, Youzi started to get nervous, as if she was afraid that she had not treated me well enough. Her tearful look was adorable.

I also found it particularly cute.

Maybe because of her shy personality, Yuzu's cheeks always have two lovely blushes, just like a ripe apple, which makes me want to taste it.
