Survive in Azure Files

I leaned over and took out the doll, and handed it to the stunned Tao Jing: "Here, I give it to you."

Tao Jing lowered her head and looked at the cute doll of the same color as her: "... Did the teacher choose the claw machine as a gift for me?"

"Yes, this is a simulation of love," I said with a smile, "Doesn't this look very similar to the heroine? If I give it as a gift, it will surely increase my favorability, right?"

"Well……"

It might be my illusion, or maybe it was the effect of the light, but Tao Jing's face seemed to be a little red.

But when I looked carefully, I couldn't see any clues.

Tao Jing put the doll into the inside pocket of her clothes, took a deep breath, and smiled: "Very good, then since the heroine understands your feelings, I will add 15 points of favorability back!"

"So, we've finally returned to square one?"

"That's right~ Okay, don't worry about so many details, let's continue!"

Tao Jing grabbed my sleeve and said impatiently: "Teacher, let's see who can complete "Magical Girl" first~"

"Okay, but I'm a beginner, you have to teach me how to play first."

"Hehehe~ Since there's nothing I can do about it~ Let me show you what it means to be a game master!"

Tao Jing said this with full confidence.

But it's a pity.

Even though I had never played this game before, after spending some time getting the hang of it, I quickly surpassed Taoi, who claimed to be a master.

However, this did not affect our fun in the game hall.

In addition to claw machines and Magic Girl, we also played many other games, and our favorability also rose and fell during the period...

Although I think that Tao Jing simply added and subtracted according to her mood at any time. After so many changes, she probably didn't seriously remember the final amount.

Once again, I condemned myself for mistakenly thinking that she was reliable.

In short, in the blink of an eye, it was noon.

Chapter 89 Tao Jing! ?

After leaving the game center, Tao Jing stretched out his body, exhaled a breath, and rubbed his lower abdomen:

"Hoo~ I'm hungry after playing around in the game center..."

After saying this, Taoi deliberately gave me a hint with her eyes.

I understood. “So, it’s time for lunch, right?”

"Bingo~"

Tao Jing smiled happily and gave me the right to choose: "Well, the heroine is very hungry now, what kind of food should we eat?"

I pretended to be silent: "According to the convention of dating..."

"Dating convention...!" Tao Jing opened her eyes wide and repeated in a murmur, seeming a little shaken.

I paid attention to Taoi's reaction and immediately saw through everything.

First, let’s rule out the possibility that Taoi is shy.

Letting this guy who only knows how to play games and has no clue at all wear a different color is obviously a wrong option that cannot be chosen.

Should I say it's a good thing I tried it again? The conventional method really doesn't work for the heroine based on Tao Jing.

Looking around again, according to Taojing's nature as a heavy game nerd, the location he chose for the love simulation is also a street with a strong gaming atmosphere that can be seen with the naked eye.

With this as a starting point, there should be an absolutely correct option that will satisfy Tao Jing when opening restaurants nearby...

It didn't take much effort for me to find a suitable target.

"But, Taoi, look, there's a collaboration with The Legend of Sarna."

"Hey, it's actually true!"

Looking in the direction I pointed, Tao Jing's eyes sparkled as she read the words on the sign: "As long as you can finish the special super spicy curry, you can get the [Master Blade] balloon peripheral from "Legend of Sarna" as a reward... Let's go, teacher!"

Having said this, she grabbed my sleeve and hurried towards the store.

Very good, judging from her expression and actions, my choice was probably correct.

I followed the impatient girl and asked with a smile, "How much favorability did you gain this time?"

Tao Jing said without even turning back: "Add 100 million points! Ah, the set meal is limited every day, let's go quickly!"

This numerical system has completely collapsed.

I shook my head helplessly and said nothing.

As a series that has been popular in Kivotos for decades, the joint event of Sarna Legend naturally attracted many fans to participate. Although Tao Jing and I still had extra set meals after entering the store and there were empty seats in the store, there were still many orders in front of us.

"So, the heroine is bored while waiting?"

As soon as Tao Jing sat down, she looked at me expectantly.

If they were an ordinary couple, according to dating conventions, they would probably choose to chat for a while.

However, the other party is the stupid Tao Jing.

I replied as a matter of course: "Of course I came to play games."

"That's right!" Tao Jing, who had already reached into her bag, pulled out the game console. "Hehe~ Unfortunately, I missed one thing, so the favorability can only be increased by 50. Since we are participating in the collaboration with the Sarna series, of course we have to play the Sarna series!"

There has already been a surge of 100 million before, so a double-digit increase or decrease is simply insignificant.

It just so happens that while she is playing games, I can take the opportunity to reply to other students' momotalk messages.

But the next moment, Tao Jing stood up unexpectedly, ran to my side and sat down, set up the game console, and then gave me one of the controllers:

"Teacher, let's play Sarna Warriors: All-Stars together! This is a game that supports two-player cooperation!"

Another game I haven't played.

"Is that so? Then I'll have to ask you to take me with you."

Tao Jing patted his chest confidently: "Don't worry~ I'm an old hand~"

As expected, I am still skeptical about Tao Jing's gaming skills.

However, playing with her is always fun.

Who can resist a teammate who is not good at playing, is very cute, and will jump into my arms for comfort when he fails?

Even if you get cheated every time, it's totally worth it!

Immersed in the world of games, time always flies by. Before I knew it, the waiter had brought two plates of steaming curry rice.

From the bright red and shiny color, you can tell that it is extremely spicy.

I realized that even with the free ice water provided by the store, today would probably be a tough battle.

Tao Jing saved the game file, put down the controller and put away the game console with a reluctant look, and brought her portion of curry rice to the front of her. She looked solemn and clasped her hands together:

"I'm gonna start now!"

After saying that, she looked at me beside her again.

…Won’t she sit back across from me?

This doubt only lingered in my mind for a moment. Under the girl's expectant gaze, I also clasped my hands together and said, "I'm going to start."

Then, we started a hard and arduous battle.

"Ham...Ham..."

Tao Jing scooped up a full spoonful of curry, stuffed it into her mouth, and chewed it with big mouthfuls. Although her face turned red due to the spiciness, she kept breathing heavily, and even tears were about to come out, her expression showed that she was enjoying it very much.

After eating several spoonfuls, Tao Jing gulped down half a cup of ice water. A smile spread across her face: "It's delicious~"

Can the damn Kivotos alien do whatever it wants relying on its physical fitness and halo protection?

I endured the burning sensation that extended from my mouth to my stomach and ate another spoonful of curry with tears in my eyes.

It was indeed delicious, and even though it was spicy enough to make people uncomfortable, it didn't completely cover up the other seasonings. But...

It's super spicy, and it's really super spicy! ? No wonder the milk drinks in this store are so expensive. They have already obtained a linkage, so can't they add some water? This store is really unscrupulous!

I didn't want to waste too much food, nor did I want to spoil the fun of those around me, so I had to keep working hard.

After a lot of effort, I finally stuffed it all into my stomach and successfully got the [Master Blade] balloon as a prize.

As I walked out of the store, I looked up at the sky and felt as if I was in another world.

"Hey~ha!"

Tao Jing was waving the inflated sword-shaped balloon in the air with great enthusiasm, like a child who had obtained a favorite toy, or exactly like that.

Anyway, she asked me with a delighted look: "Teacher, teacher, look! It's very authentic, isn't it?"

how to say.

Seeing Tao Jing's smile, I feel that all my efforts are worth it.

Come to think of it, after eating something this spicy, I hope my stomach won’t be in trouble… so that I can only eat soft rice from now on, right?

"Okay, next stop, go go!"

As mentioned before, the street that Taoi chose specifically is closely related to the game.

This afternoon, Tao Jing and I visited many places, including various shops selling peripheral products related to popular blockbusters, exhibition halls that collected game consoles from past generations, and bookstores that specialized in selling game information... In the blink of an eye, the sky had completely darkened.

The colorful neon lights gradually lit up, making the street scene as bright as day.

Tao Jing, who was walking beside me with a shopping bag in her hand, sighed:

"Well - I went to a lot of places today. I had a lot of fun being with the teacher all day long!"

Unlike her, my biggest feeling today is that even Tao Jing is still a girl——

At least, when it comes to torturing people through shopping, I am really born with a knack for it.

Coupled with the excessive energy, even I was exhausted.

But putting that aside, overall, I had a pretty good time on this date.

So I smiled and said, "I am also very happy to be with Tao Jing."

"Well, um..." Taojing scratched her cheek, "Hehehe~ That's really great~"

The current atmosphere is that the date is almost over.

Remembering that the fundamental goal of this time was to conduct a dating simulation, I was more concerned with another question: "So, what is the ending?"

However, hearing this, Tao Jing looked confused:

"…The ending? What does that mean?"

This girl, was having so much fun that she even forgot what she was doing here. I can only say that this fits my impression of her as unreliable.

I had to remind him, "That's the ending of today's simulation, right? Didn't they say it would change depending on the favorability?"

“…Ah, yes! That’s right!”

Tao Jing hurriedly tried to make amends, and then whispered to herself, "I got so absorbed in it that I forgot everything..."

I heard it. It's true. It's hopeless.

I curled my lips secretly.

I'm really worried about how long it will take for Tao Jing to truly mature.

However, even though she tends to forget about important matters because of playing around, which always gives people a headache, looking back, I think that is part of Momoi's cuteness.

At least I wouldn't mind too much.

"Today, my final impression of the teacher is, that..."

After a long pause, Tao Jing smiled and said, "Yes, it's a Happy Ending~ Clap your hands, congratulations!"

I definitely didn't calculate it, it was totally unexpected.

As long as I don't have any hope in Taoi, Taoi will never let me down.

"That's great, teacher! You successfully conquered the heroine!"
