Survive in Azure Files

Taoi looked at me, then looked at Asuna who was hugging me tightly, and showed a look of mastery:

"Teacher, if you are threatened by her, just... just breathe?"

I was shocked by her unique idea and didn't know what to say for a moment.

After calming down, I said, "I'm not threatened, but there's no need to fight now."

I pushed Asuna away and pointed out the window: "C&C codename 02 Karin should have reached the commanding heights. If they have to deal with Asuna while avoiding sniper attacks, they are at the end of their rope."

“Hahaha~ That’s it~”

Asuna asked curiously again: "But how did the master know?"

I remained calm and said, "I guessed it. It seems I guessed it right."

Of course, that was secretly told to me by another maid who took the liberty of calling me her mistress.

Probably to avoid being disturbed by someone and to concentrate on enjoying the battle, Nero unilaterally blocked the communication, but Zhu Yin kept paying attention. After hearing Amy mention me, she sent a message immediately, urging me not to resist stubbornly and to surrender with the game development department as soon as possible.

I can only say that it gave me an excuse to end this farce early to avoid causing greater losses.

"Ugh~ I'm not willing to give up!" Tao Jing's eyes showed strong unwillingness, "We haven't even fought yet, how can I just give up like this!"

The expressions of Green and Yuzu gradually changed from hesitation to determination.

I am deeply moved by their indomitable spirit.

Then he took Asuna's left arm, wrapped it around my neck, and took a deep breath:

"Ah, I'm being held hostage. If I continue to fight pointlessly, I might get hurt. What should I do?"

The atmosphere on the field suddenly became strange.

The girls in the game development department's fighting spirit, which had just been ignited, was instantly extinguished.

Asuna blinked and said, "Hehe~ That's right, the master has become my prisoner~"

The people on the opposite side looked at each other, and finally it was Midori who asked hesitantly: "Teacher, which side are you from?"

What kind of question is that? Are you doubting me? Even if I am really the traitor, it would be too hurtful!

I let out a long sigh. "I just don't want you to get hurt. With Nero here, it's hard to realize the plan. Besides, even without G.Bible, as long as everyone works together, we can definitely make a good game, right?"

I looked at their faces sincerely and said, "I believe in you all."

In particular, I believe that Liyin will be willing to give certain compensation to the game development department for this secret use.

After a brief silence, there was the sound of metal products being placed on the ground.

Yuzu, who took the lead in responding with action, closed her eyes tightly: "I... I still don't have the confidence that I can make a game that people can sincerely praise as fun, or even win awards in competitions... But I am willing to believe in everyone and the teacher... Even without the G.Bible... I, I have the courage to walk out of the school building."

I think, since Yuzu's knot seems to have been untied, I also need to try to understand in the near future why she always hid in the closet before.

"...I, I am willing to believe in you, too."

Green followed suit and expressed his opinion.

In the end, Tao Jing had no choice but to do as she was told, but she pouted her lips and looked reluctant.

"Alas, it's a pity that I can't fight with my cute juniors."

Asuna took out the handcuffs she carried with her and handcuffed the girls in the game development department, shaking her head and sighing, "It's not bad this way, though."

I told Akane about the situation and just as I put down my phone and prepared to walk over, I noticed that the handcuffs Asuna was using looked vaguely familiar...

Hmm... Could it be that Zhu Yin really regarded this as a weapon for sting enforcement...

I decided to pretend I knew nothing.

After comforting the still unhappy Momoi and the suddenly melancholy Midori, Asuna, who was waiting for me to finish, suddenly received a call:

"Ah, it looks like the captain is done too."

Tao Jing's expression was heavy: "Is it already, completely GAME OVER..."

I rubbed her head and said, "It's okay. Just work hard and I'll figure out the solution."

"Master, why don't you take them to the seminar first?"

"Yeah. Let's go."

At my call, the three girls consciously lined up, took the elevator back to the top floor, and entered the seminar's combat command center in a way they did not expect at all.

As soon as I walked in, I saw Alice, in her tattered school uniform, lying peacefully on the floor. Nero, also in tattered clothes, was squatting next to Alice, with a look of displeasure written all over his face.

Amy disappeared, it seemed that she had escaped successfully, or perhaps she was deliberately let go by Nero.

As the minister of C&C, Nero should know some inside information, more or less.

"What did you do to Alice!" Taoi glared at Nero.

"Hahahaha~ Captain, how did your junior make you look so miserable~" Asuna mocked Nero mercilessly.

Nero roared, "Stop making so much noise! ​​What can I do when this guy is firing flares right at my face without any regard for his own safety!"

This sentence is both a reply to Momoi and a protest to Asuna.

Zhu Yin translated: "In other words, carelessness."

"What are you talking about, you bastard? Are you looking for death?"

Rather than admiring Nero's rage, my focus was more on the fact that Alice actually used this kind of tactic of mutual destruction?

Even after being pushed to this extent, he still didn't show up... Maybe the key is no longer in Alice's body.

At this time, Yuuka, who had just finished explaining something to Noah, came over aggressively, her face and tone terribly gloomy:

"You guys actually dared to attack the seminar. You have become much bolder. Don't think you can easily escape punishment this time."

After talking to the game development department, Yuuka looked at me again, and her voice suddenly became much softer, but still with a little dissatisfaction: "Teacher too, actually accompanied them in such nonsense. I will submit a letter of protest to Xia Lai later."

No problem, just send it, I’ll ask Liyin to reply for me.

For some reason, Tao Jing once again looked like she was trying hard to suppress a smile.

In short, the joint action of the Game Development Department, the Ministry of Truth, and the Engineering Department was ruined at the first step because of Nero's early return.

The sight of the arrested people being escorted to the confinement room was so sad and bleak that, as the biggest insider, I almost couldn't bear to watch it.

So I turned my gaze to Nero who was walking in front of me.

"Go out and talk?"

Nero asked.

I nodded.

Chapter 69 Nero is my maid?

Nero and I walked out into the corridor, and I waited for her to speak first.

However, Nero seemed to have the exact opposite idea from me.

We stared at each other for a long time, and she finally couldn't help it:

"Hey, don't you have anything to say?"

"Hmm..." I stroked my chin and asked tentatively, "How about I find a chance to take a picture later and use it as a sample for you?"

Before he finished speaking, Nero's face turned red instantly: "Who would call you master!?"

It seemed that she really remembered the incident and had probably been struggling with it for a long time in secret.

Alas, another tsundere who was smitten by my charm, but unwilling to admit it.

"Then why did you call me out?"

"Aha……"

Nero's anger came and went quickly: "Although I don't know what you, Liyin and Himari are planning, but I have already tested that little guy for you."

"What conclusion did you draw?"

"In terms of physical fitness alone, she is indeed a person that I am afraid of, and the weapon she uses can also bring out her strengths in this area. However, this is both an advantage and a disadvantage. If you want to use such a weapon well, you have to make efforts far beyond ordinary people and accumulate a lot of practical experience."

At this point, Nero paused, then continued: "However, with the speed of progress she has shown, that day may not be far away."

"You think highly of Alice."

"Heh. Compared to physique, weapons, and experience, the most important thing in battle is courage."

Fortunately, I basically don't have to participate in the battle.

Nero raised his lips, and his words were full of admiration. "She dared to be my enemy and used such tactics. She is not without potential in this regard. Let me be frank. If you want to train her as my trump card for the millennium after me, then this little girl is qualified enough."

She obviously misunderstood something, but it wasn't a big deal.

"Thanks, Nero."

Nero waved his hand and said, "Ha, no need to be so polite, it's just a small matter."

Having said that, I almost want to make some requests to not treat her as an outsider at all.

"As expected, I still have to thank you." I said sincerely, "The selfie of Silka with a wig and sunglasses..."

“I’ve already said it! I will never call you master! You want to get beaten? Haha!”

Before I could finish my words, Nero jumped up in anxiety, clenched his fist with one hand and pulled my tie down with the other.

Being pulled forward involuntarily, I suddenly had an idea and gave up trying to keep my balance.

So, under Nero's horrified gaze, I threw myself on her and hugged her tightly.

"……what?"

The girl's brain went blank for a moment, and then she felt extremely embarrassed and angry, which could be felt from her trembling body and rising temperature.

“Wow wow wow wow wow! You, you! Let me go! Be careful or I’ll kill you okay? I’m really going to kill you okay!?”

Nero screamed, but perhaps because he was afraid of hurting me, he didn't use too much force and just pushed me a few times symbolically.

I slowly held her shoulders and stood up: "Sorry, I didn't stand firmly just now."

Without replying, Nero just frowned and stared at my face.

I awkwardly took my hands off her shoulders and said, "Okay, I admit, I wanted to play a little prank."

"Did you think I didn't see that?"

Nero's cheeks flushed slightly, but his gaze did not shift at all, and his expression was very solemn, as if he was thinking about something important.

Maybe he just realized how handsome I am now. He is Nero after all, so it’s normal.

Having said that, I still felt a little uneasy being stared at like this, and the atmosphere became a little strange.

Come to think of it...if you take a closer look...Nero is really pretty...

Just when I was about to give up and started to have wild thoughts, suddenly, there was a chuckle and someone burst into laughter.

Nero was startled and turned to the side: "Hey! What are you laughing at!"

Three girls in maid outfits saw that they had been exposed and no longer hid. They walked out from the corner, led by Asuna.

"Hahaha~ The captain is trying so hard to raise his head and look at the master without saying a word, and his expression is so serious, of course it's funny~"

"Are you looking for death? And why don't you tell me clearly who his master is!"

Faced with his companions' teasing, Nero could no longer bear it and shouted angrily: "Also, when did you start peeking?"

"We've only been here for a short while." Zhu Yin pushed up her glasses. "It probably started when you and the master were hugging each other."

“I, I didn’t hug you! It was just an accident… so please tell me who the owner is!?”

"Um...your master?"

The girl with dark skin and cold and sharp features wearing a C&C uniform had golden eyes and a strange look on her face:

"I didn't expect that the captain would have such an unexpected side. I thought he was still in the developmental stage just like his body."

She is probably the last member of C&C, codenamed 02, Kadotate Karin.

"What nonsense are you talking about! I, I, I didn't do anything, and why did you include me in this as if nothing had happened!"

"Ahaha~ The captain is so anxious~" Asuna laughed, "As expected of the captain, even the progress is the fastest, which is completely opposite in some aspects~"
