Survive in Azure Files

Obscene!

Being a gentleman, I ignored them all, only exchanged glances with Hoshino and Wakamo, and headed towards the hangar with Alice, who kept muttering "reward" and seemed to be completely excited and had no suspicion of him at all.

After arriving at the hangar, Alice looked around at the furnishings around her, but as if she had thought of something, her excitement gradually faded away, revealing an expression that made her want to cry but could not:

"Teacher, Alice doesn't eat gasoline! And Alice has already eaten her fill at the table, so please don't feed Alice gasoline and engine oil as a reward..."

...What are you talking about?

If Alice said this, I would probably think that she is so cute, and then I would be very happy and hold her in my arms and love her dearly.

But when I think about it, maybe this is just the acting of "AL-1S", "key".

I felt a little creepy again.

I suppressed my complicated feelings and continued to put on a business-like smile:

"Don't worry, it's not that kind of thing. Come with me."

After saying that, I quickened my pace and walked towards the corner of the hangar, where there was a rectangular object covered with cloth and standing upright.

Alice was curious at first, then felt that the man looked familiar. She thought for a moment, and then a stronger sense of anticipation suddenly rose in her eyes.

At this moment, I had arrived in front of the tampered sword of light, grabbed the linen covering it, and took a deep breath.

It's okay, it's okay.

Alona is right next to me. Once Hoshino and Wakamo receive my instructions, they will come as quickly as possible and notify others.

Even though I used myself as bait again this time...

I can definitely survive.

The barely noticeable trembling of my hands gradually stopped. I took a deep breath of the air that smelled slightly of engine oil, and pulled down hard. The sword of light appeared in front of Alice.

Although she had obviously expected it, Alice still exclaimed "Wow" the moment she saw the real thing, then rushed to the weapon that she hadn't seen for almost a whole day, and stroked the gun excitedly.

I watched her warily, my nerves tense, my heart on edge, concentrating on guarding against any unusual behavior on her part.

She does not.

Will it pick up the sword of light, point it at me, and pull the trigger the next moment?

I swallowed hard, but a terrifying thought came to my mind -

If that were to happen, perhaps I would be able to free myself from the abyss of doubt I am in now.

But what I had both deeply feared and shamefully hoped for did not happen.

Alice turned around and stared at my face with her pure blue eyes.

"Teacher! Teacher!" She called me affectionately, and asked in confusion, "Wasn't the Sword of Light sent to the forge to be restored? Why is it here?"

"Didn't you notice that Utahara, Kotoli, and Hibiki all came to Xialai?"

I asked back with a smile, and then said, "Because I saw that you, Alice, seemed to miss the Sword of Light very much, so I specially asked them to bring it to Xialai for maintenance..."

"Wow~!"

Alice jumped into my arms before I could dodge and said sweetly, "Thank you, teacher~ Alice likes you the most~"

"……It doesn't matter."

I carefully reached out my hand, trying to stroke her head as usual, and said in a deep voice: "As long as you are happy."

When Alice reluctantly left my arms and tried to put the Sword of Light back on her back, she realized something was wrong: "Teacher, where is the shoulder strap of the Sword of Light?"

“Because the maintenance work is not yet completed,” I said.

“I see… Alice will try her best to endure it!”

She said this and did not show any abnormality until she left.

Chapter 115: The Second Chalais Saint-Pierre War (Part 1)

Late at night, sitting alone at my desk, I stared at the unchanging surveillance screen of the hangar on the tablet, with a myriad of thoughts in my mind.

"Alona," I couldn't help but ask, "As an AI, can you tell the difference?"

"Teacher, what are you talking about? Even if they are both AI, there are differences in quality!" Alona said to me, "So, whether Alice is Alice or not, it is up to you to judge."

I see. Alona feels inferior to AL-1S.

It couldn't be that she was saying that she was the "tall" one, right?

I sighed and warned, "If you find Alice... AL-1S walking out of the room, or the surveillance system is hacked..."

"I understand, Alona. Even if I have to stay up all night tonight, I will definitely complete the task assigned by the teacher!"

When she said that, I became uneasy, worried that she would fall asleep again.

However, even if it is just for the strawberry milk and various desserts as a bribe, Alona will do her job conscientiously this time, right?

After thinking about it, it's still hard to say. Fortunately, I also arranged for Xingye to monitor.

...Nothing will go wrong with Hoshino, right?

I couldn't help but sigh, feeling that tonight might be another sleepless night.

Just as I was lying on my freshly changed sheets, closing my eyes to rest my mind for what might happen next, I heard a knock on the door.

I opened the door, and with a gust of fragrant wind, the fox girl, with whom I had made a breakthrough in my relationship, threw herself into my arms:

"My dear husband~ Ruo Zao, I'm here to see you~ Hehe~"

"Well, come in first."

As soon as I held Ruozao's hand and walked into the room and sat down on the edge of the bed, a pair of beautiful arms wrapped around my neck.

"Ah, dear," Ruo Zao whispered in my ear, her tone full of intoxicating tenderness and love, "I have been getting along well with the other children today for your sake, Ruo Zao?"

She said this as if to take credit, and the corners of my mouth couldn't help but slightly rise:

"Yeah, I saw it all."

Ruozao performed very well throughout the whole day, which means she did not have any conflicts with anyone.

Even towards the intentional or unintentional, relatively close contact with other students, he did not show any dissatisfaction.

Although he never took off the mask except when eating, and only lifted it halfway when eating, coupled with his bland tone, he gave people a feeling of being unapproachable.

But compared to the ordinary Ruozao, being able to achieve this is already a huge improvement.

All of this is for my own good.

"So, what kind of reward do you want?"

I rubbed her head and asked gently.

"Hmm~ What should I do~" Ruo Zao pretended to be embarrassed, but her words were full of happiness, "Hehe~ Let me become like this... How can I let you take responsibility for me? Hmm? Dear, love?"

Hearing this word-by-word address, I could no longer bear the anger rising in my heart, so I took off Ruozao's fox mask and put it aside.

I lifted her chin, looked into her blurry eyes, and then aimed at her lips as pink as cherry blossoms...

dong dong dong.

However, a sudden knock on the door interrupted my actions.

Who is so tactless as to come and disturb my fun at this time?

I was furious, but my brows furrowed, and I suddenly had an inexplicable sense of déjà vu.

What's going on? Have I encountered a similar situation before?

I then paused for a moment, and looked sincerely into the eyes of the fox girl:

"Ruozao, do you want to find a suitable place to hide for a while?"

"Eh~" Ruo Zao pouted reluctantly, but still nodded and agreed, "Okay, if that's what you want."

This well-behaved look made my heart beat faster, so I took advantage of the last moment and touched her lips like a dragonfly touching the water.

Then I licked the corner of my mouth and prepared to open the door for tonight's new visitor.

Ruozao followed me and turned into the bathroom.

…I feel like tonight might really be a long night.

Secretly looking forward to what would happen next, I opened the door and saw a masked girl with long dark blue hair standing silently in front of the door.

When I saw that the person coming was Saori, I was a little disappointed and thought that my premonition might be wrong.

However, even if it is very likely that she is a spy sent by Beatrice, and she was deeply attracted by my extraordinary charm during our short time together, and decided to abandon the dark and join the light, and truly offer her loyalty and love to me, it is not completely impossible.

Hey, the card is getting hot.

Don’t force me to call the engineering department and tie a heating plate on you!

"What's the matter?" I looked at her calmly.

Saori was silent for a while, then lowered her eyes: "Teacher, may I come in and talk?"

I couldn't help but look down, and was deeply attracted by her flat belly with several graceful lines, which was so white that it seemed to be reflective against the black clothes.

It’s so strange, how come Saori has a belly button and I have a tongue?

Unfortunately, I still have to wait until the day comes when I can truly conquer her.

I felt a little regretful and stepped aside.

After entering my room, Saori stood straight in front of the bed, staring at the ground without looking away. She did not have the desire to explore that a normal student should have when visiting my room for the first time.

"Sit down... I'm not asking you to sit on the floor. The bed, or a chair, anything is fine."

So Saori obediently sat on the chair next to my desk without saying a word.

Her condition seemed a little strange.

I sat on the bed, looking at this usually taciturn girl, but noticed her clenched fists.

...She wouldn't want to assassinate me, right?

The next moment I had this thought in my mind.

Saori suddenly stood up and began to unfasten the tactical straps on her upper body——

"Wait, wait!" I also jumped up, "Saori, what are you going to do?"

"Because I can no longer suppress my love for you." Saori stopped moving, her tone as still as a pool of stagnant water, "So, please allow me to give you everything I have."

After the words were spoken, there was only silence in the room.

I looked at her expressionlessly, anger boiling in my heart.

"Beatrice asked you to do this?" I asked abruptly.

“…This is all out of my own will.”

I said coldly: "Take off your mask."

As I watched, Saori did as she was told after a long silence.

Then, as the mask fell to the ground with a crisp sound, she revealed her cold face in front of me for the first time in a long time.

"Say it again."

“This is all of my own volition.”

Saori repeated this, but her calm eyes and cold expression made her words unconvincing.

I smiled coldly and walked up to her. "So, you trust Beatrice more than me... Does she have any leverage over me?"

Her eyes moved slightly, but she didn't answer.

"I know you didn't come to me as a 'gift'."

I said in a deep voice.

However, to my surprise, Saori actually spoke at this time.

"I am." Saori looked at me earnestly, "Madam said that as long as you are willing and truly take me as your own, I will... just be a gift."

Hearing this, I narrowed my eyes, sat back on the edge of the bed, and looked this beautiful girl up and down.
