Survive in Azure Files

Rin: What do you think?

Me: It’s okay, thank you for your hard work.

Rin: You've worked hard, too.

Rin: [Picture]

Rin: Also, how many times have I told you, who is Rin-chan?

Nice picture, saved.

I sat back down, admiring the new collection while worrying about not being able to fall asleep.

It’s all Yazi’s fault. She passed on her meanness to me.

There is no other way but to try to seek help from experts in this field.

Me: Hoshino, Hoshino! Speak up!

Hoshino: Eh? Why is it so sudden?

The reply was almost immediate, it turned out that he was still staying up late.

Me: I'm here to check on the dorms. What are you doing so late at night? Tell me the truth!

The next moment, the bell rang.

When I answered the video call from Hoshino, the moment I saw the scene on the other side clearly, my pupils suddenly shrank.

"Hey~"

Across the screen, Hoshino fixed his phone, then held the edge of the bathtub with both hands, and soaked his body back in the hot water, making a sound of enjoyment: "Meow~ So comfortable~ Taking a bath after the night patrol is really the best. I feel like all the fatigue in my body has flown away."

Perhaps because she had been soaking for too long, the bathroom where Hoshino was was filled with mist, making it difficult to see clearly, but the blush on the girl's face was clearly visible.

Outside the screen where she couldn't see, I adjusted the position of my belt.

I thought about it: "A bottle of milk afterwards?"

"That's right! Moreover, it must be chilled and you have to drink it all in one gulp to call it perfect!" Hoshino waved his hand proudly and said in a strange greasy tone, "Hehe, it seems you don't understand. There's no other way. Next time there's a chance, I'll take you to take a bath together!"

Is this person teasing me?

I felt sad that the world was going downhill, so I continued, "Iced milk is bad for your stomach. Next time, I'll treat you to hot milk. As much as you want."

I don't know what Xingye misunderstood. He hugged his legs, hid the lower half of his face behind his knees, and spat in a muffled voice:

"…Pah, obscene."

Anyway, I think that the guy who made a video call while doing this kind of thing has no right to say this.

"So, you're not sleeping in the middle of the night and looking for me, your uncle. Did something happen?"

After calming down, Xingye straightened his expression and stared at me with his golden and blue eyes: "Did you miss me?"

"Well, I missed you."

"Well, I miss you too."

They were just simple and ordinary words, but I felt a warm current in my heart and a warm smile appeared on my face involuntarily.

Ever since my relationship with Hoshino made a breakthrough, the atmosphere always feels a bit sticky, especially when we are alone.

"So, do you want to meet?" Hoshino asked abruptly.

"When?"

"Now."

"Now?"

"Well, it must be very hard to endure."

I hesitated for a moment: "Then should I go over now?"

However, Xingye shook his head: "The sound of Xialai's helicopter might be heard by Baizi."

You mean you want to eat alone without telling your juniors? Where is the sisterhood?

I silently complained and asked, "The train has already stopped running at this time. How are you going to get here?"

"bicycle."

"bicycle!?"

Xingye said confidently: "It's just a short distance, and we have a means of transportation. If we get up and set off now, as long as I'm serious, we can get there quickly."

I was speechless for a moment.

"You can take a nap first," Hoshino added, "When I get here, I'll wake you up with a good morning kiss."

Where to kiss?

I stopped imagining and quickly advised: "Forget it, it's so late, why not go to bed early."

Hoshino followed suit: "Okay. In that case, why don't you lead by example first?"

"I can't help it. I just finished work." I sighed. "Maybe because I stayed up too late, I can't fall asleep. Do you have any suggestions?"

"Well, you have to sleep even if you can't." Xingye thought for a moment and suggested, "Why don't you try counting numbers while lying in bed?"

It seems that I can’t learn any advanced sleeping experience from Hoshino.

If you think about it carefully, although Hoshino does give people the impression of being sleepy, the truth is that she has been patrolling Abydos alone at night for years, and she is seriously sleep-deprived, and her biological clock is completely reversed, so she is so sleepy during the day that she can fall asleep at any time.

In other words, although Hoshino is already a well-deserved master in the field of sleeping, she basically relies on her instincts and talents to reach such a high level in the way of sleeping.

Hoshino and I chatted for a few more sentences, and then I was urged to hang up the phone and go to rest.

Lying on the soft big bed, I tried the method suggested by Hoshino, but sadly found that it was even more difficult to fall asleep.

Even Yuuka's love, which should be invincible under normal circumstances, and the newly added cooperation of Kodama, are almost ineffective at this time.

Maybe I really have insomnia.

After tossing and turning for a while, I became more and more irritated and could not wait any longer.

So I took out my phone again.

In contrast to the liberal Hoshino, the academic school, which pays more attention to methods and approaches, may be able to give me some help.

Of course, I had no hope of being able to contact the other party at this time, so I just planned to clarify the situation first.

Me: Chun, I want to ask you a question.

Tsubaki: Hmm? Good morning, teacher.

Tsubaki: Did you wake up so early? Or have you been working so hard that you didn't have time to practice?

It's rare that he's awake.

Knowing that the practice Chun mentioned was sleeping, I changed the way I asked the question.

Me: I have encountered difficulties in my practice and I just can’t get into the right state, so I want to ask you for advice.

Tsubaki: Well, that’s how it is.

Chun: Cultivation is a long and lasting process, there is no shortcut. You need to develop good living habits, maintain physical and mental health, and pay attention to all aspects of your daily life...

Tsubaki: However, using the appropriate training tools can also provide some help, but I don't think I can get them right now.

Tsubaki: As an emergency measure, there is another way.

Tsubaki: But since this is my first time, I'm not sure about the effect...

Me: Please elaborate.

The phone rang, it wasn't a video call, just a normal ringing sound. I didn't know whether I should be relieved or disappointed.

"Teacher, please put the phone to your ear, close enough for me to hear your breathing."

I did as I was told.

"Are you ready?" Chun asked on the other end of the phone.

"Ah."

Then, a sweet and gentle singing voice came from the receiver of the mobile phone.

You can tell that this is a lullaby to help you sleep.

Miraculously, I felt my tense nerves gradually relax and my eyelids became heavier.

Finally, in the trance before falling asleep, I seemed to hear a gentle blessing:

"Good night, teacher, I wish you a sweet dream."

Chapter 47: Want to Marry Sansen

When I woke up naturally, it was already afternoon.

I appreciate Xia Lai's flexible working hours, which allow me to freely allocate my work and rest time. When the president of the Federation Student Union returns to Kivotos one day, I will definitely repay her well!

After getting up and washing up, the first thing I did was to thank Chun for helping me fall asleep, but I didn't receive a reply. Judging from the time and habits, she should be taking a nap.

Then, as usual, he logged into the Shiting Box and listened to the work briefing from his secretary Alona.

In the mysterious space of Shiting Box, I maintained almost the same physiological sensations as the outside world—

The sea breeze blowing across my cheeks brought a light salty taste, the sun shining on my body was warm and comfortable, the strawberry milk in my mouth was sweet and delicious, and the tearful Alona's little fist hitting me didn't hurt at all.

I drank the strawberry milk that Alona had obviously offered me voluntarily. I tasted its rich sweetness, but the emptiness in my stomach did not decrease at all.

The conclusion is that this is most likely not an alien world, but a virtual space created using some extremely advanced VR technology.

After swallowing the superficial part of Xiaoyu's power, I, who had been educated in science, had the idea of ​​exploring the essence of this mysterious space for the first time.

Unfortunately, Alona doesn't seem to be a student trapped in a different dimension who calls herself an AI. She is just a silly AI.

After satisfying my desire to explore a little and easily coaxing Alona into submission with more desserts, I returned to reality.

Feeling my empty stomach, I decided to go to the convenience store downstairs to buy some food to satisfy my hunger and then decide on today's itinerary.

But as soon as I reached the junction of the living area and the office area, my phone alerted me that there was a new visitor.

Generally speaking, there are four ways to enter Xialai:

First, as a registered student on duty, open the special APP and scan the code with your mobile phone.

This is the most common one.

Second, enter an extremely complex password.

As an emergency plan for special circumstances, it was actually used for the first time by Xiaoxue who guessed the password and took refuge.

Third, direct military intrusion.

Apart from Yukino, there has not been a second case so far.

Fourth, send a visit request and ask someone to help open the door.

What we have now is the fourth type, which is also the rarest one.

If a student who is a stranger to me needs to entrust Xia Lai with a task, he or she will usually contact me via email; and if a student who I already know comes to visit me, they will basically choose to contact me directly on momotalk.

I called up the surveillance footage and saw the girl quietly waiting at the door of Xia Lai. I was stunned at first, then I looked through the chat history when I just got up.

Sansen: Teacher, I heard what Tsubaki said.

Mimori: When Tsubaki was almost done with her night patrol, she still hadn't rested.

Mimori: Are you so busy?

Me: It’s just occasionally, thank you for your concern.

Mimori: Is that so... I understand.

Mimori: This is a serious situation...

Mimori: As a member of the training club, I have to do something.

After that, Sansen didn't reply again.

At the time, I only had two thoughts.
