Survive in Azure Files

At this moment, I caught a glimpse from the corner of my eye that the sleeping Shengya suddenly frowned, and then relaxed her brows.

I think she was probably having some strange dream.

Chapter 79: Second Coming Countermeasures Committee

Knowing that Saint Ya was attacked and fell into a coma, as well as the hidden conspiracy involving the Holy Trinity, my seemingly peaceful and leisurely life was cast into an indelible shadow.

But looking at it from another perspective, I had already established myself in Kivotos and had not encountered a real crisis for a while. I almost indulged in comfort and ignored the chaotic nature of this academy city.

This incident undoubtedly sounded the alarm for me and made me wake up.

After returning to Xialai, I contacted Riju immediately and had a top-secret conversation with her through the platform she had temporarily built.

Although I don't want to rashly involve irrelevant people in this mess, in order to ensure that everything is safe, I still need the indirect assistance of this talented hacker who is second to none in all of Kivotos to cover my tracks.

Although I did not explain the specific reason, with Himari's intelligence and talent, she probably guessed something. After confirming that I only needed this level of help, she agreed without asking any more questions.

After completing this urgent task, I put the matter of Saint Ya and Holy Trinity aside in my heart for the time being.

Maybe I am paranoid, but I think that in the current situation where we are completely in the dark, caution takes precedence over speed and efficiency.

What's more, whether the possibility I envisioned can awaken Saint Ya is still unknown, so it is better to take a long-term view.

As for whether to tell this information to Nagisa, who is now acting as the host of the tea party?

I respect Shengya's choice.

As for the flowers that haven't been spent yet...there's no need to mention it.

That’s Weihua, so let’s just forget it.

Anyway, I pretended nothing happened and continued with my originally scheduled schedule.

The next day, after many days, I went to the Abydos Countermeasures Committee which I had not seen for a long time.

In fact, I had been to Abydos Autonomous Region the day before yesterday, in order to invite my lovely maids from C&C to the ramen stand of General Chai to taste the delicious ramen.

However, it was too late that day, and after the meeting I had to go back to Millennium to fulfill my appointment with Himari, and to bail out the game development staff who were locked in the reflection room, so I didn't go to visit the school.

Right now I have some work to ask the Countermeasures Committee to do, so I can also visit them and ease the longing of these girls who must have fallen deeply in love with me.

The helicopter slowly landed on the school playground, and the gusts of wind caused by its landing stirred up the surrounding dust.

The girl who was waiting not far away came running over and looked at me who had just got off the plane with an expression of uncontrollable joy on her face:

"Teacher, you are here."

"Yes, Ayane. You can just wait in the activity room. Why did you come here to greet me?"

I glanced to the side and joked, "Are you eager to show this off to me?"

Not far away, there was a brand new helicopter parked with a large white Abydos school emblem printed on its black paint.

"That's not what I meant!" Ayane said, and her face became even happier. "Thanks to the teacher, our debt pressure has become so small, and we can finally save money to buy an armed helicopter. Oh, by the way, the child's name is Rain Cloud, right?"

I nodded and smiled: "It looks very cool. If I have the chance, I would like to try it out."

"Really? I'm always available!"

"Haha, thank you very much. But let's talk about this later. Everyone should be in the activity room, right?"

"Ah, that's true... Well, teacher, let's go."

After exchanging pleasantries, Ayane and I headed straight to the Countermeasures Committee's club activity room.

I opened the door and in a trance I recalled the scene when I first came here.

Hoshino lazily rested his head on Nomiya's thighs, Serika paced back and forth anxiously in the activity room, and Shirako was maintaining his rifle.

I don't know why, but I felt a sense of sadness that things have changed and I can never go back to the way they were.

After hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, the girls all looked at me at the same time, and couldn't help but reveal their beautiful smiles that touched the heart.

Then, Nomiya directly pushed Hoshino, who was waving at me, aside and patted his empty thigh:

"Teacher, please come over here~"

Hoshino was stunned for a moment, blinked, and exclaimed: "Oh my, Nomiya, do you want to bear the weight of both the teacher and me by yourself?"

"Of course not~ Please, Senior Hoshino, find a good place to sleep~"

"Nomiya-chan~ What are you talking about? Of course I'm going to sleep on the teacher? For an overdeveloped gorilla with super strength, this should be easy, right?"

"Senior Hoshino~ Are you introducing yourself? Then you should change the prefix to "stunted development" to make it more appropriate~"

"Hey hehe~"

"Uh huh huh~"

The two looked at each other and smiled, their smiles becoming sweeter, but there was no smile in their eyes.

The seniors and juniors who had just been acting like close sisters suddenly became hostile to each other after I appeared on the stage.

This scene made me extremely sad and filled with guilt.

Stop it! Stop being jealous over me! It's going to be hard for me!

"Teacher, are you laughing?"

Bai Zi tilted his head and asked in confusion.

"No, no." I just finished speaking subconsciously, then realized that my expression might be a little obvious, so I changed my words and said, "I thought of something happy."

"Is that right?"

Bai Zi nodded as if he understood, then shook his wolf ears and looked at me expectantly: "I can also be your knee pillow."

Hoshino and Nomiya, who were looking at each other with bright smiles just now, now united their front and turned their spearhead towards the white pieces who wanted to take the opportunity to steal the home base.

Hoshino sighed: "Some children don't seem to be very filial."

Nomiya recalled: "I still remember how heavy the snow was that day."

"Alas, he was so well-behaved at the time, and I worked hard to raise him, but I didn't expect him to be such an ungrateful person. I am so heartbroken."

"How should I put it? After all, there is indeed a wolf with white eyes, so it's not that strange."

Facing the two people's accusations, Bai Zi remained unmoved and just said calmly:

"I suggest that we take turns using the teacher."

Wait? What do you mean by use?

After these words were spoken, Hoshino and Nomiya looked at each other again.

Subsequently.

Xingye gave a thumbs up: "Oh! You are really a good boy worthy of your father!"

Nomiya smiled softly: "Haha~ Baizi really didn't let us down~"

Hearing this, I was even more sad and angry - where is my opinion!? Did he think that I would not object and would just quietly enjoy... endure it!?

It's a pity that even if I don't object, there will be people here who will object for me.

boom!

"Ah! Really!" Qin Xiang slammed the table and gritted her teeth, "You guys! What the hell are you talking about!"

Ayane also said angrily: "I can't stand it anymore! The teacher finally took the time to come here, and he has something important to tell us. Can you guys act like seniors and stop pestering the teacher like this! The teacher will be troubled!"

At this time, Xingye suddenly frowned and sniffed:

"Nomiya-chan, Shirako-chan, do you smell it?"

Bai Zi said at the right time: "What does Senior Xingye mean?"

“Don’t you smell it?” The pink-haired girl pinched her nose with one hand and fanned herself with the other, saying meaningfully, “The sour smell that permeates the air is something that I don’t dare to do and don’t allow others to do. Wow~ So sour~”

I have always recognized Hoshino-san's aggressiveness.

Serika and Ayane seemed to be unable to react for a moment before Nomiya spoke first.

"Senior Hoshino, how can you be so rude!" Nomiya said dissatisfiedly, "Even if it is so strong that it cannot be ignored, don't say it directly!"

Bai Zi nodded in agreement: "That's too much, Hoshino-senpai."

"Oh~ I'm sorry~ Uncle, I will try my best to pretend I didn't smell it next time, okay?"

Bai Zi was helpless: "Okay, this won't happen again."

The three seniors from the second and third years sang in unison, with undisguised overtones in their words, which made Serika and Ayane, who had realized what was going on, extremely ashamed and angry.

Especially Ayane.

"Have you guys had enough of the trouble!!!"

She took a step forward, placed her hands under the edge of the table, and suddenly lifted it up, using her secret technique of flipping the table.

If the honest child Ayane was pushed to this point in the past, everyone on the countermeasures committee would immediately stop joking and make coaxing Ayane their top priority.

But this time is different from the past. The few people whose core interests are threatened are all in the mood to watch the fun.

"Aiya~ Ayane-chan, don't be so angry~"

Hoshino said leisurely: "We and the Countermeasures Committee have always been of one mind and one body, advancing and retreating together."

Bai Zi nodded: "That's right."

The two men spoke shamelessly.

"I think we can take this opportunity to reach a consensus."

Hoshino stood up and walked in front of Ayane. He was clearly nearly half a head shorter than her, but when they looked at each other, he seemed to be looking down on her.

"I want to act like a spoiled child, I want to be pampered, I want to do this and that together... Everyone on the countermeasures committee has similar feelings."

Serika and Ayane both became a little flustered, even Nomiya who had been calm and composed just now.

I suddenly realized that this little conflict might have been deliberately provoked by Hoshino.

Moreover, Bai Zi is also an insider and collaborator?

"So, isn't it good to do as Baizi suggested?"

Hoshino spread his hands and said calmly: "The teacher will not refuse. On the contrary, he will be even happier. So, Ayane-chan, Serika-chan, let us go forward hand in hand like we did in the past."

The two shy girls stopped talking and fell into silence.

Nomiya looked confused and a bit uncertain, and his originally calm expression became a little forced.

Then, Hoshino took out a handkerchief from his arms.

I felt vaguely familiar with it, and then I remembered that this seemed to be the handkerchief I had used to wipe Hoshino's face, which was covered in dust after the battle with the Steel Helmets. She said she would wash it and return it to me, and there has been no further news since then...?

Thinking back carefully, it seems that I was really taken away by Hoshino!

Hiss... He actually hid my handkerchief. I strongly suspect that someone had a crush on me at that time but was just too embarrassed to say it.

Even the disgust and distrust behind it might just be a smokescreen to get my attention...

Something is wrong. The more I think about it, the more I feel that this is possible. Now I have to go back and ask about it.

While my thoughts were wandering, Hoshino had already taken the handkerchief, which was of great commemorative significance to her, from me and handed it to Ayane, who was crying with anger, with a slight smile.

"Well, wipe it off first."

Ayane hesitated for a moment and chose to take it.

"…What on earth is all this…" Qin Xiang muttered to herself in a low voice, "I can't figure it out…I really can't figure it out…"

For the first time in her life, Qinxiang realized that she might not be very smart.

"Hmm? Uncle, isn't it obvious what I mean?"

Hoshino took two brisk steps towards me, took my hand, asked me to sit down in an empty seat, and then sat on my knees.

Then, she said as a matter of course:

"The teacher doesn't belong to one person, but to all of us. So there's no need to argue about the teacher and affect our friendship. Now it's me, then Nomiya Shiroko, and then you and Ayane. Isn't that fair?"

Bai Zi agreed: "That's fair."

I finally confirmed it.
