Survive in Azure Files

"I'm not saying that the teacher's words are lies... I know better than anyone that I'm not lovable..."

Such a familiar self-deprecation, just like what I've seen in the Discipline Committee, and it's in stark contrast to a certain confident third-year millennial with white hair and the head of the Japanese generation, which is really sad.

I felt pity for her, and just as I was about to say something, Hinata spoke first:

"No, I didn't call the teacher out just because I wanted to say this! Let's get to the point!"

The white-haired girl paused and said seriously, "...Well, I specifically asked the teacher to come out to share the security situation in Gehenna this quarter and to make suggestions for a joint search plan for the next quarter."

After the Discipline Committee and Xia Lai reached a cooperation, all the Discipline Committee members, including Hina himself, were entered into Xia Lai's duty system and would take turns to handle the duty work at regular intervals.

In contrast, Xia Lai also needs to provide various assistance to the Disciplinary Committee on a regular basis, such as relying on Xia Lai's authority to enforce the law across autonomous regions and arrest vicious fugitives.

Chalais and Trinity have a similar agreement, but they cooperate indirectly with the Justice Commission through tea parties.

Closer to home.

After hearing Hina's purpose, I was greatly surprised:

"So, it's about work?"

Hinata narrowed her eyes and said unhappily, "Yes, work. If not, do you think I would come out to the teacher so late at night for personal matters?"

Or else?

If you want to discuss official business, wouldn't it be easier to just let Yazi contact me instead of going to the Disciplinary Committee?

Besides, that wouldn't be considered a private meeting.

I couldn't help but feel suspicious.

Could it be that Hinata just wanted to be alone with me and made up this excuse?

With such speculation, I tentatively said, "I thought it was a date."

In just a moment, Hina's face darkened and she said to me in a scary tone:

"……teacher."

"Okay! Time to get to work!"

After carefully reading the materials prepared by Hinata, I exchanged opinions with her.

"I see, that's the teacher's opinion. It's very valuable for reference."

“It may not be able to help.”

Hina shook her head and showed a charming smile:

"No, I think opinions that differ from ours are important factors in looking at things objectively. From this perspective, the teacher's opinions are very meaningful to me. Besides, it's rare to have the opportunity to hear adults' opinions."

"Yeah. It seems like Hinata trusts me a lot."

Hinata was shocked: "Isn't that natural? Even though he's an unreliable and strange adult..."

The girl lowered her eyes, then raised them carefully, staring at me carefully with her purple pupils, and said softly: "So in the future, there may be various requests. I think it will be very late by then."

really.

Just as I had a very good first impression of Hina, Hina had the same impression of me.

I smiled and said, "Don't worry, you can come to me anytime. Whether it's work or personal matters, it's all fine."

"I told you I won't..."

Hinata lost her temper when she stared at me and changed her tone.

"I see. Thank you, teacher."

I waved my hand: "It doesn't matter, this is what I should do."

I feel that the atmosphere has become more harmonious.

On a night like this, having a secret meeting with a beautiful girl in a secluded place, even if you are talking about business, it is still tempting to have a romantic feeling.

There should be a night market in Kivotos, right? Should I invite Hina to have some midnight snack?

But Hina's reaction made me give up this idea.

"Huh..." Hinata sighed tiredly, "It's getting late. It's time to go back and rest."

I looked at the tiredness between Hina's brows and said, "That's true."

That was what she needed most right now, a good sleep.

"Well, see you next time, teacher."

After saying hello, Hina went back.

Looking at the girl's back, I suddenly felt that I could try to learn some massage techniques, which might produce unexpected effects.

Thinking back to the vaguely perceived "weakness" of Hinata's stiff muscles, I thought about the direction in which the power of [Eagle Eyes] could be expanded.

I dare not have no limit, I am afraid I can't finish it...

Chapter 29 It's all your fault that I have developed unnecessary feelings in my heart

boom!

The girl pushed the door open aggressively, walked straight to my desk, and slammed her hands on the table.

I looked down at the document scratched by the ballpoint pen, my mouth twitched, I put down the pen, and sighed helplessly:

"Ah, what's wrong again, my young lady?"

"At this point, you're still pretending that nothing has happened. Is this how adults act?" Yazi stared at me intently, with anger burning in her eyes, and asked me harshly, "Tell me the truth, what did you do to the chairman?"

"…So what happened?"

I find it quite baffling, but after all, he's always been a bit weird, so it's understandable.

As a dog lover, I am willing to be generous to small animals.

After all, she might be looking for another excuse to be punished.

I glanced at Yazi's chest, which was rising and falling with anger, and soothed him, "Don't be anxious, sit down and talk slowly."

Yazi snorted coldly, pulled out a chair and sat down, crossed her arms over her chest, crossed her legs, and raised her slender neck proudly:

"Is there anything else you want to explain?"

...It seems like she really needs some punishment.

However, Azi's nostalgic and domineering attitude is also unique and makes people imagine the contrast afterwards.

Thinking of this, my attitude became more gentle: "Ya Zi, I still don't know what happened."

"Please don't change the subject. I'm asking you now."

Even so, Ayako still pouted and reluctantly explained the situation to me:

"Commissioner Hinata is acting strange today!"

"What exactly is wrong?"

"The chairman, she actually..." Yazi took a deep breath, her expression extremely solemn, "She actually smiled at me when I handed the document to her!"

So Hina has never smiled at you so far or what?

Recalling Hina's brilliant smile last night, I tried to be as tactful as possible: "I think this should be just a very common phenomenon, right?"

"Don't you understand the seriousness of the problem?" Yazi suddenly raised her voice, "That was the chairman at work! As an executive officer of the Discipline Committee, I know the chairman I assist, and I can assert that something unusual has definitely happened!"

But, Hina smiled sweetly at me last night when we were talking about official business.

I couldn't help but feel pity and was silent for a moment: "So, you suspect that I did something?"

Yazi said excitedly: "You are the most suspicious!"

This guy, does he have any prejudice against me?

Putting that aside for the moment, I continued, "And then, you left your job as an administrator and came to Chalais early in the morning to question me in person?"

"Oh, don't worry about that. I've asked Iori to take my place. If it's just some odd jobs, it should be fine."

"...Wait a minute, isn't Iori Xia Lai's duty student today!?"

I was wondering why he hadn't come yet and there was no news at this time. It turned out that he was conscripted by Yazi.

I hope Iori is okay.

I looked at the arrogant Yazi and rubbed my aching forehead:

"Nothing happened between Hina and I, it was just work..."

"Were you really with the Chairman last night?"

Yazi slammed the table and stood up, his face flushed, and anxiously said: "You, you despicable and shameless guy! What did you do to the chairman!? Could it be... could it be... that you also did those weird things?!"

After hearing this, I finally understood why she was so anxious, and I was speechless:

"You have a very rich imagination."

I wonder where the opportunity comes from.

"W-What!?"

Yazi's body shuddered. "You mean, as an administrator of the Discipline Committee who has made an indelible contribution to maintaining the order of Gehenna, I am a fool who likes to think too much?"

Is not it?

Thinking this in my mind, I denied it out loud: "I didn't mean that."

"You did!" Ako said unreasonably, "I won't make mistakes... So, tell me what you did to Chairman Hina?"

"Didn't I tell you that I only gave Hinata some work suggestions yesterday, regarding the joint investigation plan for next quarter."

Yazi didn't believe it at all: "Don't even think you can fool me. If you just want to discuss work, why do you have to meet alone in the middle of the night? Do you have something on the chairman..."

How do I know what Hina is thinking? Maybe she has a crush on me, which is not surprising.

Seeing that Ako was unmoved and was sure that something was wrong with me, even I was finally aroused:

"Let's not talk about the innocence between Hina and I. Even if something really happened, what does it have to do with you? Ako, what position do you have to question me like this?"

As these words came out of his mouth, the world finally became quiet.

The beautiful girl with sky-blue hair stood there, her lips trembling and her eyes filled with tears.

Seeing Yazi's reaction, I felt a little uneasy. Thinking back on what I had done, I felt that I had not done anything excessive.

I've been tolerant enough towards her, haven't I?

Even though she was being unreasonable, the tone I used at the end wasn't particularly bad.

Women are trouble.

I sighed inwardly, considering whether to apologize to Yazi and give in, or to stick to my own principles.

But at this moment, Yazi shook his head and said self-deprecatingly: "Sure enough..."

"what?"

"You really lied to me..."

Ako sniffed and started to cry: "You did that to me... and you said you would be responsible for me... In the end, it was all a lie to deceive me. From the beginning, you just wanted to get close to the chairman through me, right!?"

What is this all about?
