Survive in Azure Files

What huge and terrifying vortex have I been drawn into?

Taking deep breaths, I tried to calm myself down with this meaningless behavior in the dream.

Then I asked again: "If this is the case, why would someone target you, Shengya, for this reason?"

"The Federation Student Council President is indeed missing, but this does not mean that the two academies that have reached a consensus and started working towards this goal under her will stop. Unless..."

Shengya sighed and said, "As you can see, the representative of one of the academies can no longer become the party to the treaty due to force majeure."

For a moment, the whole place was silent.

After a long time, a difficult voice came out of my mouth:

"That means the next one is..."

Shengya closed her eyes, said nothing, and just nodded.

Chapter 96 I Want to Protect Nagisa and Mika

The information from Shengya made me feel even more relieved after knowing that she was safe.

If the purpose of the mastermind is to prevent the establishment of the Eden Treaty, then who will be the next victim?

Acting host of the Trinity Tea Party, Kirito Nagisa.

The Speaker of the Gehenna Pandemonium, Makoto Hanuma.

Not to mention Nagisa, who has a good relationship with me, even if it's Makoto, who seems to be a little bit stupid and whose words and actions are extremely troublesome except for her pretty face, I don't want her life to fade away in the prime of her youth.

Seeing my serious expression, Shengya comforted me, "Please don't worry. Because of my attack, Nagisa and... Mika, their security level must have been greatly increased. As for the Speaker of Gehenna, with her wisdom and talent, she has probably deduced something based on the movements of our school."

Uh... Makoto... Wisdom? Talent?

Isn’t this really astonishing wisdom?

I was a little skeptical whether Shengya was speaking sarcastically, but from her tone and expression, I felt that she seemed to be serious.

Well, after all, Makoto and I are not familiar with each other, so I'd better reserve my opinion for now.

Regardless, safety is only temporary. The dark cloud of conspiracy still hangs over the entire Kivotos, and knowing this makes me feel heavy-hearted.

Especially, thinking of Nagisa who pretended to be nonchalant in front of me, and Mika who seemed to be indifferent to me and didn't want to have any interaction with me...

A feeling of pity arose in my heart.

They must have had a lot of hard time during this period, as their lives were in danger all the time.

I made a serious promise to Shengya: "I will do my best to protect Nagisa and Mika."

Shengya closed her eyes, picked up the teacup and covered her lips.

However, I noticed that her hands seemed to be shaking slightly.

Are you recalling the fear you felt when you were attacked?

I can totally understand that even if you anticipated the attack, or even faked your own death to escape, you would still be scared.

“…Teacher, then…” Shengya’s voice was a little strange. Perhaps she was moved by my teacher’s ethics. “Please…”

After a long while, Shengya put down her hand and breathed a sigh of relief: "But, you really don't need to be so urgent. Just like now, even if you don't use that kind of... is it called 'power'?"

Even knowing this, it shows that Shengya and I will definitely have a special relationship in the future.

I also took a sip of red tea to hide my smile.

Well, Shengya must have agreed with me having multiple relationships at the same time, just like Sansen... or even more acceptable than Sansen!

The ability to predict is so convenient!

So why hasn't Saint Ya been captured yet? Do they have to wait until I wake up to decide?

"What a strange power! Just by establishing an unbreakable bond with the students, you can gain all kinds of supernatural powers? However, this doesn't seem to be the true nature of this power..."

Shengya paused and said, "I have strayed off topic without realizing it. Anyway, even if you didn't come to see me, I was planning to take the initiative to see you when the time was right."

"…Wait, you mean, you can enter my dreams?"

Then what am I working so hard for?!

Shengya explained: "It is theoretically possible. But I can't control it."

I frowned at first, then smiled with relief after a second thought: "In that case, maybe it's because I broke into your dream this time that there is a connection between our dreams?"

"Well, it's not impossible."

In this case, my efforts are meaningful.

"In short, teacher, you don't need to worry too much now. You have not been officially drawn into this turbulent vortex yet. If you want to help us all, please wait patiently for the destined fate of you and us."

"I understand! This means that after this incident, the relationship between me and all the members of the tea party will become a destined one, right?"

Not only the cute little Saint who foresaw a future with me, but also the elegant and dignified rich girl Nagisa who obviously had a crush on me, but also that pink-haired girl! ?

Oh no, now that I think about it, the reason why Weihua distanced herself from me is most likely not because she hates me, but quite the opposite, because she doesn’t want to drag me down!

I had just finished speaking excitedly when Shengya, who was obviously not drinking tea, suddenly started coughing as if she was choked.

I hurriedly asked, "Honey, are you okay?"

Shengya's eyes twitched, and she said in embarrassment: "...Uh, this title...is a bit too early."

So that's it, pay attention to the mood.

"And, that was not my intention... I don't see a future where the incident is resolved."

...Oh no, did I misunderstand something?

I was so embarrassed that I couldn't help digging my toes into the ground.

But, but, at least Saint Ya, who knows about "power", will definitely be conquered by me in the future.

With Shengya's help, it will only be a matter of time for Nagisa and Mika to succeed, so it's not a big problem!

"What I believe is that you, teacher, will definitely lead us through the difficulties and darkness ahead, and reach a future that is worthy of being called the real 'Eden'."

Shengya stared at me with a smile on her face: "I believe this very much. So, teacher, please don't put too much pressure on yourself now that the story has not yet begun."

...Sure enough, it was discovered.

"Feel sorry."

I shook my head and smiled bitterly: "I was suddenly involved in this crisis, which can even be said to be related to the future of the entire Kivotos. I am indeed a little panicked. Please forgive me."

"You don't have to apologize to me so formally. I don't mind."

Shengya finally reminded: "Regarding what you know here, please be sure to keep it secret from others, including Nagisa and... Mika. Then, based on this premise, proceed at your own pace."

"Well, I see."

"Then it's time for you to wake up."

The girl with blonde hair and fox ears said softly.

I thought about it and accepted it.

The information obtained during this trip was shocking enough, and the restrictions requested by Shengya were also intriguing.

Since she, as a prophet, has said so, I should go back and sort out my thoughts which are almost a tangled mess, and think about how to prepare for future crises.

After saying goodbye to Shengya, I closed my eyes.

-

Seeing the tall figure opposite the long table suddenly disappear, Lily Garden Shengya sighed softly.

"No flowers..."

In his dream, the prophet sighed as if he hated the person for not fighting back.

Turning her head, she gazed at the night view in the distance and said to herself:

"As a friend, I can only help you up to this point."

After he finished speaking, there was a long silence.

In the end, I couldn't help it.

"...Pfft."

Shengya raised her hands and covered her delicate and lovely face with her wide sleeves.

And the slightly mischievous smile between his eyebrows.

Chapter 97 I will always follow Master Faust

Early in the morning, I had not slept well at all. I sat at my desk, looking at the pile of abandoned projects that I had planned last night, and yawned.

After returning to Xialai from Shengya's hiding place, I scratched my head and thought hard for a long time. In the end, I had no choice but to decide to remain unchanged in the face of all changes.

My mortal wisdom is ultimately no match for Shengya's predictive dreams.

Moreover, according to Shengya, what she saw should be that justice will eventually triumph over evil and everyone will have a happy ending.

In that case, there is no need for me to worry too much. I just need to follow Shengya's instructions and do it step by step, right?

Being too eager for quick success and instant benefits will not only result in half the effort and twice the results, but may also backfire.

For example, now.

I shook my head vigorously, still feeling a little dazed. Plus, I thought Shengya was already stable, but she didn't even show the successful strategy prompt, which made me even more depressed.

There must be a bug in the card, the cheat code is really rubbish.

After telling Sa Ling about the symptoms, she deduced that it was probably a sequelae of me taking medication continuously in a short period of time, coupled with possible excessive mental exertion from staying up late and working overtime. She suggested that I rest for a day and see if I feel better tomorrow.

Out of respect for my life, I deliberately asked a few more questions for safety reasons, but the answers I got made me gasp.

"Why are you worrying about this! I checked your body last night while you were sleeping!"

When I saw these words sent by the beautiful girl with white hair, red eyes and animal ears, I couldn't help but feel a deep sense of joy... and anger.

I trusted Sa Ling so much, but she actually did such a treacherous thing to me in secret! Woohoo, my body is not clean anymore...

Well, it's my fault. I know very well how tempting a handsome and defenseless man like me would be to a hot-blooded young girl.

Yes, in the final analysis, it was me who passively seduced Sa Ling, and it’s not her fault.

Saaya just made the same mistake that every student makes.

So I accepted with tears in my eyes the fact that I had been thoroughly examined by the genius and beautiful pharmacist without my knowledge.

In short, according to Saaya's examination, although my physical fitness is shockingly weak, I am generally very healthy, especially some of my internal organs, which are so excellent that they are somewhat unlike those of normal humans.

This is the gift from man’s best friend.

However, even though I am not seriously ill, the sequelae cannot be eliminated in a short time.

There is no other way but to follow the doctor's advice, and continue to happily put down work today and have a good rest with the goal of combining work and rest.

After putting all the discarded documents into the shredder, I planned to go back to the bedroom to take a nap.

However, just as I lay down on the soft and comfortable big bed, ready to cover myself with the quilt and have a good sleep, a momotalk notification tone came from my mobile phone.

When I opened my phone, I was refreshed and got out of bed immediately.

Rest? What rest?

Working hard for the peace and stability of Kivotos has always been a mission that I enjoy doing!

Another notification tone sounded, and when I looked at the phone screen again, the other party had sent a few more messages.

Hifumi: Teacher! Teacher!

Hifumi: There's a surprise performance by Peloro-sama today!

Hifumi: If you are free, can you come with me?

Me: There's nothing I can do about it since it's Faust, whom I'm determined to follow all my life, who has invited me to a date.

Hifumi: Eh? A date?
