Survive in Azure Files

Alice showed a warm smile: "Traveling in a new world with friends, this feeling... What is the so-called dreaming... You told Alice."

Taoi left my arms, Midori stood up, and Yuzu walked out of her locker. They all listened attentively to Alice's speech.

“So, as we get closer to the long-awaited ending, even though it’s so hard, I always feel this way…”

The robot girl thought: "It would be nice if I never woke up from this dream... That's what Alice thinks."

I imagined for a moment, playing Myths, Legends, and Chronicles forever, and shuddered a little.

But at this time, Alice threw the topic over: "Alice thinks that the teacher must think so too, right?"

Then, the other girls looked at me with what I now saw as extremely sharp gazes, filled with anxiety and expectation.

Why did you bring the fire to me?!

I don't want to deceive you, nor do I want to hurt your feelings, so I just said ambiguously:

"Yes, I want to play games with you for the rest of my life."

“…Then let’s do it.”

Yuzu suddenly spoke, and what she said made me alert.

Do? What did you do?

"My dream... is for everyone to say that the games I make are interesting."

Immersed in her own emotions, Yuzu did not realize that her words would be misunderstood, and continued to speak:

“However, the first edition of Myths, Legends, and Chronicles that I made ended up with over four digit negative reviews and ridicule…”

To be honest, for a debut work to have reviews exceeding four digits is, in a sense, already quite impressive.

"Just when I was feeling sad and hiding in the game development department... two people came to visit."

Yuzu looked at Momoi and Midori who were looking nostalgic: "So, we finished Mythology, Legend, Chronicle together... Even though it ranked first on the list of garbage games this year..."

The two sisters, who were originally very moved, suddenly looked embarrassed.

"After that, the teacher and Alice came here... and told me that the game I made was very interesting. So my dream came true.

“To play games with like-minded partners and make them feel fun… This was once only in my dreams, my dream.

“It might be a bit greedy to ask for more. But if possible, I hope this dream... can continue and never end.”

As soon as the words fell, the low pressure in the activity room had completely dissipated, leaving only a faint warmth and endless motivation.

"... Okay!" Tao Jing looked at Alice, "How much time do we have until the Millennium Club Competition?"

And Alice also gave the exact number directly:

"48 days, 5 hours and 25 minutes left."

"It's more than enough! Even five of them won't be a problem!"

With her fighting spirit rekindled, Taoi shouted, "Come on, everyone in the game development department! Let's start the production of Mythology Chronicles 2!"

Midori, Yuzu, and Alice all responded in unison, "Yeah!"

Seeing that they had successfully walked out of the shadow of G.Bible, I could finally leave with peace of mind. After giving a few instructions, I said goodbye to the game development department and went to the engineering department to prepare to order a batch of supplies from Ge Yuan and the others.

Just when the negotiation was about to be successfully completed, I received a message from momotalk——

Yazi: Teacher! Are you free? Come and save me!

Chapter 74: Trouble with the Discipline Committee

After receiving Yazi's call for help, I hurried to the headquarters of the Gehena Discipline Committee.

When I opened the door of the conference room, I saw the three major members of the Discipline Committee, Ako, Iori, and Chinatsu, all gathered there.

Iori raised his eyebrows: "Huh? What are you doing here? I'm very busy now and don't have time to deal with you..."

"Wait a moment, Iori," interrupted Ayako, who was obviously relieved when she saw me, "I invited the teacher here."

"Eh?"

Yazi smiled confidently: "Haha~ The teacher arrived just in time. This way, I am completely confident. No matter how arrogant those raccoons are, they will pay attention to their relationship with Xia Lai and will not dare to act recklessly. Very good! Let them come!"

Chinatsu nodded thoughtfully. "Is that so? Finding a teacher with extra-legal authority as external aid... can be considered a wise decision. However, it is surprising that the administrator would ask the teacher for help."

Iori also said: "That is to say, Ako-chan, didn't you have a bad relationship with the teacher some time ago?"

Yes, thanks to my unremitting efforts, I successfully tamed the vicious dog.

“Huh? That didn’t happen!”

Yazi, who was anxious for a moment, put on a calm smile: "As an administrator, it is basic quality to put aside personal grudges and simply consider the interests of the committee!"

Chinatsu nodded: "Anyway, if the chairman knew about this, he would be very happy."

In response, Yazi laughed awkwardly and was speechless.

“I am glad that you can think of me and trust me when you encounter difficulties.”

I paused and asked in confusion: "But what exactly happened? Can anyone explain it to me?"

In momotalk, Azi just said that there was something important and the situation was urgent and she hoped I could come over as soon as possible.

"...Administrator Ako." Chinatsu narrowed her eyes and said in a colder tone, "You didn't ask the teacher to come and help without telling him what happened to us, did you?"

From Chinatsu's reaction, I had a bad feeling in my heart.

Yazi defended herself, "Yes, that's true... But time is very tight, who knows when those guys will come."

"Well... let me explain..."

Chinatsu pushed up her glasses and said, "As you can see, Chairman Hinata is not in the Disciplinary Committee right now, but is out on a job. So, some people with ulterior motives who know about this want to take advantage of this opportunity to do something bad to us."

I nodded in understanding. So that's how it is.

Given the nature of the work of the Discipline Committee and the liberal atmosphere of Gehenna, it is destined that a considerable number of students will be dissatisfied with the Discipline Committee. Usually, relying on the power of Hina, they can suppress all these people; once Hina is not around, there will always be people who will think of revenge.

"Don't worry, I will do my best to help you!"

"Thank you, Sensei. But the problem is, who is the person who wants to target us..."

Qianxia hesitated to speak, seeming to be embarrassed.

But just then, there was a knock on the door.

"…Alas, it's too late. Sorry, teacher, just do me a favor this time."

Qianxia looked at me apologetically: "I will definitely find a chance to repay you."

You want to repay me, right? I finally gave you a chance to run away!

Hearing this, Yazi frowned slightly and gave me a questioning look.

However, the problems of the Discipline Committee have officially emerged.

After waiting for no response for a long time, the visitor pushed open the door himself.

Was he a child with blond hair and golden eyes, looking as innocent and cute as an angel, with a sweet and bright smile on his face, and wearing a military uniform that was too big for his body?

Is it a junior high school affiliated with Gehenna... No, elementary school? Or is it a high school student with a childish appearance?

The moment he saw her, an expression as if facing a great enemy flashed across Yazi's face, and then a business-like smile appeared on her face.

The girl with blonde hair and golden eyes jumped into the door:

"Good morning, everyone! Ibuki and Iroha-senpai are here to conduct the inspection! Since this is a rare mission assigned by Makoto-senpai, Ibuki will do his best!"

"Ugh……"

Following closely behind the blonde girl who called herself Ibuki, who walked slowly into the conference room while sighing, was a slender girl wearing the same military cap and coat and with extremely fluffy red curly hair. She must be the so-called "Iroha-senpai".

Iroha and I looked at each other, and his surprise was evident:

"Xia Lai's teacher? Why is he here?"

Maybe, before I knew it, I had become famous in Kivotos, and even unfamiliar students could recognize me at a glance.

But indeed, as the only human male in Kivotos, I consider myself to be quite recognizable in terms of appearance.

"Wow~ Sensei? That's amazing~ You're the person Makoto-senpai often mentions!"

Ibuki came up to me and looked at me curiously: "I'm Ibuki, please take care of me!"

Such polite kids. But why do their uniforms look familiar? Also, I seem to have heard the name Makoto somewhere before.

"What's wrong? Nothing strange, right?" Yazi said with a smile, "As a member of the Ten Thousand Demons Palace, since you know the existence of the teacher, you should also be clear about the relationship between the teacher and our Disciplinary Committee, right?"

…So it was Gehenna’s student council that came to cause trouble for the Discipline Committee while Hinata was away?

Due to the shocking first impression the Speaker of Pandemonium gave me, I have always tried to avoid Pandemonium if possible.

All along, compared with the Disciplinary Committee, the Pandemonium has always felt like a non-existent organization to me. I didn't expect to encounter it here.

"Yes, the intelligence also said that you mobilized troops without reason and had a conflict with the teacher."

Iroha shook his head and raised the corner of his mouth: "Compared to the teacher's appearance here, I am more surprised that you can still be so shameless as to ask for help from the person you attacked."

I felt a slight pain in my lower back and couldn't help but nod in agreement.

"...Ha! You're really sharp-tongued."

Yazi's face twitched, but her smile widened: "Although I have absolute confidence in our management, in order to prevent you from causing trouble without reason, we still need to take some necessary measures."

"Your worry is unnecessary." Iroha shook his head, "Even if the teacher was here, I would still find fault."

“…You don’t even try to hide your intentions!?” Ayako expressed what was in my mind.

"Ah, then just pretend I didn't say anything."

Iroha shrugged and said, "Anyway, let's start the accounting inspection now."

Chapter 75: Become the Speaker’s Husband

Of the many academies I have seen, Gehenna is undoubtedly the most bizarre one.

Not to mention what happens to the ordinary students under their jurisdiction, at least, no other student union would be able to personally take action and so blatantly disgust the law enforcement agency directly under its jurisdiction.

Just as Iroha said, she came here this time just to take the opportunity to find trouble.

Completely ignoring my presence, Iroha nitpicked and kept deducting points from the Discipline Committee.

Not following the new school rules that were just introduced the month before last and have not yet been fully communicated, posting the newspapers regularly distributed by the Pandemonium on the bulletin board can barely be considered as playing within the rules and regulations;

However, it would be unreasonable to deduct points for not being fully prepared to entertain guests because there was no hot cocoa in the lounge.

The most important thing is that every point deduction will directly affect the redistribution plan of the Discipline Committee's tactical training budget.

Depending on the excuse for the deduction, either the purpose of use is changed or it is directly reduced.

Even if I raised questions in a tactful way, Iroha would evade them by saying, "I'm just an ordinary civil servant. I did all this according to the instructions of Speaker Makoto. If Xia Lai has any opinions about Gehenna's internal affairs, please submit a written protest to Pandemonium later."

In this way, the so-called "accounting supervision" but actually deliberate fault-finding behavior continued. The anger of the Discipline Committee continued to accumulate.

Finally, after wandering around for nearly three hours, we returned to the original meeting room.

"In summary," Iroha put away his notebook, "after confirmation from all sides, 95% of the tactical training budget should be cut or reallocated to other budgets such as environmental preparation."

"Oh really, this is too messy!"

Iori said angrily: "Then what's the point of training!"

Chinatsu sighed and said, "If I really follow your method, the next tactical training will be..."

As for Yazi, he had a gloomy look on his face and was sulking and not saying anything.

I really wanted to pat Yazi's head and comfort her, but the situation was not appropriate right now.

The people who came to Pandemonium this time, besides Iroha who was in charge of the main work, there was also Ibuki, who seemed to be like a child not only in body but also in mind, and was running around while humming a song.

But I found a saying on the Internet that the current Speaker Makoto is just a useless puppet, and Ibuki is the real supreme authority in Pandemonium...

Judging from Ibuki's innocent appearance, I have no idea why such a rumor would appear.

Because of this doubt, I was paying attention to Ibuki's movements, and suddenly I found that there were some sundries piled in the direction where she was jumping.
