Survive in Azure Files

If I can understand other people's thoughts, coupled with my own excellent personal qualities, no matter which girl I pursue, I will definitely be successful!

I just don’t know what the specific effect will be.

As soon as I thought of this, I immediately chose Sansen as my target and used my power experimentally.

Hey! Sansen, your days of snooping into my mind are over. Now, let me see what you're thinking!

However, the next moment after using [Telepathy], I felt dizzy, my consciousness became scattered and I couldn't concentrate, and I even temporarily lost control of my body.

Then, I couldn't help but fall backwards. Suddenly, I seemed to hear a girl screaming.

When I came back to my senses, the first thing I felt was an inexplicable sweet emotion.

Then, I felt a smooth, soft, warm sensation coming from the back of my head. Then, I gradually realized my current situation.

I slowly opened my eyes, and what I saw was Sansen's concerned and flustered expression under the azure sky. And what I was resting my head on was Sansen's legs.

Obviously, I was unconscious just now, and the time was neither short nor long.

...Is this power poisonous?!

I sat up, shook my head which was feeling heavy from deep inside, and asked Sansen: "How much time has passed?"

"It's been almost a minute."

Nearly a minute... And although it was said to be a voice in my heart, all I could sense was a vague emotion...

No, it should be that my basic qualities are insufficient. After being released by the name of God, my upper limit of concentration has been greatly increased, so it may not reach the point of fainting directly.

But the effect won't be stronger, right? Even if it is, the consumption will definitely increase at the same time, right?

Thinking of this, my head, which was already feeling a little swollen, felt even more uncomfortable.

Sansen was relieved to see me wake up, but still asked worriedly, "Teacher, are you okay?"

"fine."

The fact that the strategy was successful is more important than the strength of the power.

After all, with my looks and character, I'm sure that one day there will be three-digit students who are attracted to me. It's too unrealistic to demand that every power be useful.

Besides, what if it comes in handy someday? Who can predict the future?

After comforting myself, I was about to lie back down, but a gentle but irresistible force firmly supported my back.

"Hehe~ Come to think of it, we've kept them waiting for a long time~" Sansen smiled, "Since you're okay, let's go back quickly~"

As she spoke, Yamato Nadeshiko helped me up from the ground, then walked forward on her own.

I thought to myself that something was wrong and hurriedly chased after him, saying some nice words in my heart to try to please Sansen.

However, even someone as gentle as Sansen still has the temper of a girl.

I think she still needs more adaptation, but as soon as this thought came to her mind, Sansen's smile became a little gentler and her pace increased a little.

But these thoughts all came up on my own and I can't control them. Anyway, I don't think it's my fault.

Since our return time was slightly different from Sansen's, I and the girls set out on the journey back to their school.

When I got on the tram that went directly to the area where the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons took place, I was resting with my eyes closed when suddenly another possibility occurred to me.

Could it be that [Mind Transmission] would only have such serious side effects when used on Sansen, who is proficient in mind reading?

I felt that my mental state had improved a lot, so I made a prompt decision and used this power on Feng, who had the purest mind...

This time I was shaken awake.

I opened my blurry eyes and saw the little fox sitting next to me.

Then, I became aware of a mood that was not mine, a feeling of boredom and excitement at the same time.

At the same time, I felt my head was foggy, there was a pillow behind me, and my body was heavy and covered with a piece of cloth. It should be provided by Tsubaki and Izuna respectively.

"My Lord, we are almost at the station." Izumi said carefully, "Even if you are really sleepy, please get off the train and continue sleeping, okay?"

In other words...it's almost been half an hour this time?

Of course, the interval was too short and I haven't fully recovered yet, but this is really... difficult to evaluate.

I resolved never to use this power again unless it was absolutely necessary.

But I don’t think so.

After taking a break, I comforted the worried Izuna and explained to others that I fell asleep due to exhaustion. This just confirmed my insomnia, which was the only reward I got from this accident.

After getting off the car, Fina rushed back to Hyakuya Hall to work, Sansen took Feng back to the training department to practice, and Izuna said goodbye reluctantly after once again stating that she would become a ninja who could help me.

In the blink of an eye, Tsubaki and I were the only ones left in front of the station.

"Hmm..." Tsubaki murmured in her usual soft tone, "My first training with the teacher, as expected, I should start from the basics."

This seems to be nothing wrong, but when I think about what Chun calls practice is just sleeping, I can't help but let my imagination run wild.

Suppressing all these associations, I asked curiously, "What does foundation mean?"

"It's a training tool."

When I heard this, I inexplicably thought of the gun holsters stuffed in my bedside table.

But the next moment, Tsubaki took out a soft pillow from her shield that I had just borrowed when I was unconscious, and said to me seriously:

"The fact that the teacher was able to fall asleep while sitting on the train is not a reflection of his profound practice, but rather the opposite. He must not have slept well at night, right? Because he works overtime every night, I think his sleep must be very shallow."

Thinking back to last night when I worked overtime tirelessly and diligently, and was even woken up by a bite before I got enough sleep, I nodded in agreement.

Chun continued, "As the saying goes, if you want to do your work well, you must first sharpen your tools. Before you start the real practice with your teacher, it is also very important to choose the right practice tools. So, let's go and see if there are any practice tools that are more suitable for you, right?"

"Okay, no problem." With the idea of ​​conquering Chun in mind, I naturally agreed without hesitation.

So, Tsubaki and I went to a large shopping mall called "PONPOKO" and browsed the bedding section.

Chapter 85: Date with Tsubaki

It was the first time I knew that there were so many kinds of pillows in the world.

"It's not a pillow, it's a training tool." Tsubaki corrected me seriously. When facing matters related to training, there was a passion in her eyes that was completely different from her usual laziness. "The world of training tools is very profound! I will do my best to help you choose a tool that will allow you to sleep more peacefully!"

"Then please."

As she said this, my eyes moved downward from Tsubaki's innocent face, attracted by the rise and fall of her breasts as she spoke.

Would this help me sleep better if I used it as a pillow, or would it be counterproductive?

At this time, Chun also began to introduce the characteristics of different pillows to me:

"Wooden pillows are hard, so they have both advantages and disadvantages. But once you get used to them, you can't live without them because they are so comfortable~"

"The kind with feathers, the moment you put your head on it, you can go to the land of dreams...

"As for the memory foam pillow, it can support me at any time and any place. It's hard to give up the sense of security~"

When talking about these things related to spiritual practice, Chun, who usually dozes off and seems to care about nothing, actually knows them all.

"Okay, let's go shopping again~"

After talking about several common types of pillows, Chun led me to continue shopping in the mall to choose the best training props.

I always feel that this can be considered a date.

Next, under Chun's guidance, I saw all kinds of pillows, latex pillows, fiber pillows, air pillows, water pillows... There were so many kinds that it was dazzling. No matter which one, Chun could always explain the advantages and disadvantages in a few words, which made me marvel at the girl's erudition in this area.

As expected, in this area of ​​cultivation, I need to ask Chun for some advice, preferably personal guidance.

After walking around for most of the way, Chun paused and asked me as if she was still not satisfied:

"Teacher, among the training tools introduced earlier, are there any that particularly satisfy you?"

I smiled bitterly and said, "To be honest, for a beginner like me, it's really hard to make a decision."

"That's true... Anyway, let's finish watching the whole thing first. However, the latter part is mostly about tools that I haven't tried before, so they are not so common."

Wait, in other words, has Chun tried all of the various types of pillows mentioned above?

It was a bit surprising at first, but when I thought about how often the Minister of the Practice Department practiced, it didn’t seem so strange.

However, thinking about it this way, it is possible that a large portion of the training department's funds was used by Tsubaki to purchase various types of bedding... It is questionable.

"For example...Teacher, how about this?"

Tsubaki picked up a nearly life-size, pure white pillow. "This is a training tool for people to hold while sleeping. Although it's large, it's fine if used indoors. Also, it's said that it's easier to fall asleep if you hold it in your arms."

After a brief recollection, I found that this does seem to be the case, but it may have more to do with the consumption of physical energy.

"Hmm?" Suddenly, Tsubaki made a puzzled sound, "Here, in the details column, it says, 'You can print any life-size illustration you want'... Hmm?"

I was stunned at first, then shocked, and couldn't help but feel a little moved.

However, even if you really buy it, deciding who to print on it becomes a very difficult issue.

After eliminating the flowers, it is difficult to continue to sort. I can't buy dozens of them, right?

Tsubaki was still confused: "Pillow... No, I mean, why is there such a thing printed on the training tools...?"

Did this person let something slip?

After putting down the blank pillow, Tsubaki scanned the area again and quickly picked a new target:

"Ah, there is such a thing, Sensei. It is a training tool with YES written on the front and NO written on the back."

Wait... could this be...

My face changed slightly.

Since coming to Kivotos, I have inevitably come into contact with some literary works with strong educational significance.

Such magical props appear from time to time, adding a bit of fascinating philosophy to the work.

Of course, this is the first time I have seen this kind of bedding in multiple senses in real life.

"Clang~" Chun picked up the pillow, "Teacher, are you practicing hard at night?"

"Of course it is YES!"

Just like my attitude towards Chun.

After playing with me for a while, Chun looked at the detailed instructions column and read it out loud:

"Is this the pillow between the newlyweds?"

Even after knowing this fact, Tsubaki did not panic. She just stared at the "YES" side of the pillow and stretched out her voice:

"Hey~"

What the head of the training department is thinking at this moment is really elusive and intriguing. If I hadn't experienced the side effects of continuous use, I would have wanted to use my new power on her. Even if I could only know the emotions contained in it, it would be enough.

From this perspective, [Heart Transmission] is indeed not completely useless, although it is indeed not very useful and can only satisfy a temporary thirst for knowledge.

Anyway, it is an indisputable fact that Tsubaki at least has a general liking for me.

The next moment, Tsubaki put down the pillow with a normal expression on her face, and excitedly pointed to one side for me:

"Teacher, teacher, look, this pillow is the Peloro Pillow that can be used in battle and as a trap."

Is it already called a pillow?

And why was it Peroro!? And using it as a trap in the middle of a battle!? No one would fall for a trap like this!?

Uh, it seems, maybe, there really is... ?

When I saw this cute chicken doll in white and yellow, I couldn't help but recall the Lord Faust whom I once vowed to follow...

All kidding aside, it's been a while since I last saw Hifumi, and I haven't been able to find the chance lately.

You can keep an eye out for any rare Pelolo peripherals, and when you meet her in a few days, you can give them as gifts to that cute and ordinary-looking girl who looks honest.

With Lord Faust's tough personal style, perhaps he can obtain some very interesting powers?

With a hint of anticipation, I continued to accept Chun's recommendations and went shopping with her in the mall filled with a wide variety of goods.

To be honest, I was quite surprised that Chun was able to maintain a normal level of enthusiasm throughout the whole process.

Normally, she would definitely take time to take a nap and sleep, but I didn't expect that she would be so proactive this time.

Maybe Chun’s attitude towards me is the same as that on the pillow before, which is “YES”.
