Survive in Azure Files

I was surprised that she actually discovered it and asked this question at this time.

“So it is…”

Yuzu got the answer from my reaction, but instead heaved a sigh of relief, with a look of relief on her face:

"I actually know that our game is far from mature, and it is normal to receive so many negative reviews. Because the teacher is a very gentle person, he is willing to encourage us and serve as our club consultant..."

"...To be honest, I was really happy when I played with you guys. You don't need to praise me like that."

"Is that so? But it doesn't matter. The most important thing is that it's all thanks to the teacher."

Yuzu raised her face and showed a smile that was still a little embarrassed: "I used to only dare to stay in the school building, but now I have begun to have the courage to change... Although, although I am still afraid of many things now, I want to think that this is already progress..."

I nodded in agreement.

“Hehehe…” Yuzu’s face flushed, and she patted her hot face to calm herself down. Her purple eyes stared at me intently, “So, I’ve always wanted to express my gratitude to you in person like this. Originally, last time… uh…”

When talking about what happened in the closet last time, Yuzu became shy again.

I smiled and comforted her: "It's okay, you don't need to thank me now."

"Ok?"

"After all, I will continue to stay with you in the future."

I looked at the stunned girl and said, "So, when you can speak frankly, please tell me your gratitude."

Perhaps this was too much of a stimulation for Yuzi right now. Her face turned red and she was stunned for a long time, unable to come back to her senses.

Until there was a knock on the door, which scared her.

Afterwards, without even having time to put on the slippers that were thrown beside the bed, Youzi hid under the bed at a speed and momentum that was beyond my imagination.

What followed was a suppressed, mournful and shrill cry.

Leave request 2023.2.3

I think I may have adjusted my work and rest schedule successfully. Good night everyone, see you tomorrow!

By the way, I have opened a Q&A section in the book review area. If you have any questions related to the work itself, you are welcome to ask.

Chapter 119: The Second Xialai Saintly War (broken)

Yuzu let out a mournful cry, probably because she was too happy to see her companions;

After that, there was no movement. He might have been so excited that he lost consciousness.

Thinking of this, I felt sincerely happy for her. I picked up the slippers she hadn't had time to wear and put them on the bed, showing them off as a new trophy.

Then, I opened the bedroom door again and saw Hua Lin standing outside.

"old……"

"No need to say more, I understand, please come in first."

Hua Lin had just opened her mouth when I interrupted her and welcomed her into the house while she was still in a daze.

"...Huh? So other students have come to visit you?"

Seeing the brilliant results I had displayed, Hua Lin suddenly realized something and said to me:

"In that case, the teacher must be very tired, so I will make it short. Teacher, please accept this."

After saying that, Hua Lin handed me the food box she brought.

Are you planning to win my heart by buying my stomach, just like Nero?

After getting her permission, I opened the food box in front of her, and as expected, there were many exquisitely shaped snacks inside.

Judging from the appearance alone, it is more tempting than the one served at dinner, and it obviously contains more thought from the maker.

"Is this specially prepared for me?"

"Yes, I would like you to taste it."

When Hua Lin said this, perhaps because of nervousness, her sharp golden eyes stared straight at my face, very aggressively, which made me feel strangely worried.

Could it be that after I taste it, she will force me to be her boyfriend on the grounds that I accepted her gift?

When I think of the possibility of this...

I quickly stuffed a piece of dessert into my mouth and savored it carefully.

"What do you think?"

Hua Lin asked rather nervously.

After swallowing the snack, I gave my honest review: "It's very delicious."

Next, would she ask me something like “Do you want to have such delicious snacks anytime, anywhere?” and then immediately offer herself to me?

"Then do you wish," Hua Lin said solemnly, with an increasingly tense expression, "to be able to taste such snacks often?"

……ah?

Do you really say that?

If I remember correctly, Karin and I are not very familiar with each other. We only chat occasionally on momotalk. So today is only the second time we have met in real life.

I was stunned for a moment, and then doubts began to arise in my mind - could it be that I am still too modest, and the appeal I actually possess is far beyond my imagination?

Seeing that I didn't answer, Hua Lin hesitated and said, "I came here today to ask you a question..."

You want to know if I'm single now, right?

I said gently, "Just ask."

"Well, thank you."

Hua Lin took a deep breath, as if she had made some decision:

"Today, when I was doing the general cleaning, I found a cafe on the first floor of Xialai that had not yet opened."

“Ah…that.”

If Hua Lin hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten about it.

I am usually too busy to run a business, the location is remote, and the funds are relatively sufficient...

All these factors combined have resulted in me always forgetting about this well-equipped and beautifully decorated cafe.

Why did Hua Lin suddenly bring this up?

“Actually, I have two dreams.”

When talking about this, Hua Lin's face was filled with longing: "One of them is to become the owner of a cute cafe one day."

So that's how it is. I happen to own a cafe.

So this is the final reveal of the true intention, right?

I think Karin is definitely hinting at something.

As if not noticing the strangeness in my eyes, Hua Lin continued:

"In order to achieve this dream, I must work part-time in various stores and gain relevant experience... So, when Xia Lai's cafe opens, will you allow me to work part-time?"

Well, well, I started out as a part-time worker, and then I used this as a legitimate reason to get in touch with the store manager, and eventually I became a female store owner and fulfilled my dream...

She is truly worthy of being called the maid agent of C&C. Her greed to get both the money and the life is truly astonishing.

“In addition to cooking desserts, I am also confident in making all kinds of coffee and drinks, and arranging and cleaning the store.”

Hua Lin's tone became a little embarrassed: "It's just that there are usually C&C activities in the evening, and I have to balance working and studying... Teacher is a teacher, right? I was thinking, if I can occasionally work in Xia Lai's cafe, can I gain experience and trouble you to teach me? Or something like that."

As soon as she finished speaking, she added hastily: "Of course, I won't let you help me for nothing. I will repay you as much as I can with snacks that are the same as today, no, even more delicious than today."

I nodded: "So that's how it is."

It sounds reasonable, but I still can't rule out the possibility that he is coveting my beauty and wants to take the opportunity to get close to me.

I'll keep my reservations for now.

However, Hua Lin's request did give me new inspiration.

After this busy period is over, I can find time to open the cafe so that some relatively reserved and introverted students will have a legitimate reason to visit Xia Lai on their own initiative.

With the number of students I know now, being a clerk shouldn’t be a problem.

Thinking of this, although there is no conclusion yet, I will give Hua Lin a response:

"No problem. Once the official opening date of Xialai's cafe is confirmed, I will notify you as soon as possible."

Hua Lin smiled and nodded: "Okay, thank you."

I frowned. "What are you talking about? There is such a lovely maid who offered to come and work for me. If there is anyone to thank her, it should be me."

Hua Lin was suddenly stunned: "Eh? Cute? Me?"

Ok?

My eyes narrowed - could it be that she is another girl who underestimates herself?

Alas, what I hate the most is students who are obviously cute but don’t realize it, making them even more pitiful.

Such students can be found everywhere in Kivotos.

There is no other way. As a teacher, I have to use unconditional praise to help them rebuild their confidence and then win their hearts!

…Though recalling it, I never seem to succeed with this method alone, but what if this is the final step?

As soon as I thought of this, I prepared to speak and say a few sincere and personal words.

However, at this moment, there were several untimely knocks at the main door of the bedroom.

"Ah, another student is visiting you?"

Hua Lin stood up and said goodbye to me as if she had a clear conscience: "Well, I will be here today..."

"Wait a minute!"

I also stood up, held Hua Lin's shoulders, and said seriously: "Hua Lin, don't you think that if we are alone late at night and are seen by others, it will damage our reputation?"

"Ah? Will it cause trouble to the teacher?"

"It doesn't matter what happens to me!" I waved my hand and said righteously, "What's important is you!"

Hua Lin's tone was full of confusion: "What?"

Seeing her being so stubborn and seemingly not understanding anything at all, I felt discouraged for a moment.

In addition, time was running out, so I stopped there: "There is no time to explain further, please find a suitable place and stay away for the time being."

After saying that, I looked in the direction of the balcony, and Hua Lin indeed followed my gaze and locked her eyes there.

"Okay, I know."

After watching Karin successfully reunite with her club mates, I placed the food box that Karin had brought next to Yuzu's slippers in the eerie silence that followed.

Finally, I opened the door to greet what was presumably my last visitor of the night.

The identity of the visitor is not difficult to guess.

There are currently fourteen students in Xialai. Apart from the eleven who are already hiding in my bedroom, Alice who is being monitored and Hoshino who is in charge of monitoring, there is only one candidate left.

"Utahara, what's going on?" I looked at the purple-haired girl in front of me, who was completely as expected, and asked earnestly, "It's cold outside, you go in first."

"Yeah. Sorry to bother you then."

Ge Yuan looked around and said, "I came to see you because..."

The words came to an abrupt halt before they were even finished.

The head of the engineering department looked at the relic on the bed and fell silent. He looked suspiciously at this bedroom where she and I seemed to be the only ones there. When he spoke again, he was already a little hesitant:

"Maybe I came at the wrong time?"

"No, you came at the right time." I guided her to sit on the edge of the bed. "So, why did you come to see me?"

"...Teacher, it's about robots."
