Survive in Azure Files

"Only, it's mine... it's all of our Alice!"

As soon as the words fell, a condensed light shot out from the muzzle.

It brushed past Kai and exploded not far behind him.

"So," I put away the sword of light and sneered, "How could I possibly hurt her? You idiot."

The confused purple-red in the pupils was gradually replaced by clear blue and never changed again.

Alice staggered to her feet, looked at me, blinked, and smiled sweetly.

Like the warm sun in winter, gentle and warm.

Chapter 137 Look at the Selfie

With the arrival of the Countermeasures Committee, Wakamo, and C&C, the riot caused by Kai finally came to an end.

The reason why the reinforcements were late and some were even injured was finally revealed.

I had doubts before. With the total combat power of the reinforcements I arranged, how could it be possible to be held up for so long even against a large number of miscellaneous soldiers? It was just that due to the urgency of the situation, I did not ask questions for the time being, and that was also why Himari did not tell me the real situation.

In fact, in addition to followers and mass-produced dolls, they also encountered obstacles from other existences.

To us, it is not unfamiliar, it is white and black.

However, what Hoshino Nero and the others encountered was countless times stronger than what we encountered.

In addition to the greatly increased toughness of the body, new powerful moves were added. The key point is that the bomb used by Bai has become a special new type that can cause extra damage. Caught off guard, Nomiya, Serika, Akane, and Karin were all seriously injured, and even Wakamo suffered a loss.

In short, if White and Black hadn't joined the battle, reinforcements would have arrived long ago.

At first, Himari suspected that they might be different individuals, but judging from some of their characteristics, they were indeed the two dolls we had fought with before. We could only assume that they had not used their full strength before.

Hearing this, I couldn't help but recall a two-headed puppet that I had talked to, and my face darkened slightly.

Why does it sound like the master has discovered something, or has misunderstood something?

Anyway, it must be some secret technique that did it.

After briefly checking the situation with each other, Ayane was in charge of driving the Rain Cloud to transport the injured, including Saori, who needed urgent treatment, to a nearby public hospital. The rest of the group escorted Alice and me and left Lost Paradise on foot.

...To be exact, they walked and Baizi carried me on his back.

Although this seems a bit embarrassing, after a tough battle and opening the Divine Name for a long time, I am so sore that I can't even walk...

Sensing my request with his keen instinct, Bai Zi offered to carry me on his back.

Hoshino, who still had some shame, did not compete with the younger generation, with whom he had a harmonious and friendly relationship like that of a parent and child.

Of the three people in the game development department, except Tao Jing who seemed unaware, the other two seemed to be tempted, but due to physical fatigue and shyness in their hearts, they did not speak.

Nero is the ultimate tsundere, no need to elaborate on him.

Only the sunny and cheerful Asuna openly showed her intention to give it a try, but was sternly rejected by Shiroko.

Although it should be completely different, I suddenly could imagine how Bai Zi and Ruo Zao started quarreling.

Feng strongly suspected that Asuna had hidden her ear tail.

Asuna expressed some regret, then ran off to look after Alice with Nero.

As for Alice, Nero, Asuna, and Hoshino, who are helping out in a friendly way, will temporarily take her back to Millennium Institute of Technology under the guidance of Himari.

First, he sought help from the Engineering Department to see if he could speed up Alice's body's recovery. Then he went to the Ministry of Truth to check if Alice's mind had shifted and whether Kai was still in her body.

Alice herself did not object. Instead, after confirming with me, she obediently followed the arrangements of her seniors.

After discussing for a while, the other three people in the game development department were still more worried about their companions' situation and planned to go back to school to accompany them.

I feel quite relieved, for the friendship between the girls, and also for me, I will be able to have some rest time of my own later -

Tonight, I was really tired, so I didn't plan to interfere in Alice's affairs anymore. I planned to go back to Xialai alone and leave the things and worries to be dealt with the next day.

I am sure that others will take good care of her during this time.

If something unexpected really happens again... we'll talk about it when the time comes.

"Well, teacher, Baizi, bye~"

I successfully walked out of the gate of Lost Paradise and left this desolate, remote and sparsely populated area. After arriving at the station and sending the other people whose target was the millennium onto the unmanned bus that "happened" to be waiting, I rejected Bai Zi's proposal to accompany me back to Xialai.

Upon hearing this, Bai Zi immediately lowered her wolf ears and seemed quite depressed, but she still expressed understanding and told me that in this case, she planned to go to the hospital to visit Nomiya and Qinxiang. She also asked me to send her a message to let her know that I was safe after I arrived in Xialai.

For a moment, I found it a little funny and didn’t know who was the older one.

Of course, I was quite touched in my heart, and I touched Bai Zi's head and agreed gently.

Soon, the bus to Chalais also arrived at the platform.

"Then I'll be leaving first."

"Well, teacher, have a nice trip."

Bai Zi waved to me reluctantly.

The car started, and I sat in the window seat. Looking through the glass window, I found that the wolf-eared girl was still staring at me with loving eyes, until her figure shrank so much in my field of vision that I could no longer see her clearly.

I turned my head back and suddenly felt a little regretful, wondering if I should take Baizi back to Xialai.

But when I pressed the sore muscles in my waist and thought about it carefully, I didn't regret it at all.

It is absolutely not advisable to use this crippled body to invite a wolf into the house.

I returned to Xialai safely. I reported my safety to Baizi and the other girls, replied to a few messages that were replied immediately, and was struggling with whether to go to bed directly or take a bath before going to bed.

"Ah, teacher, thank you for your hard work."

A voice as soft and gentle as a clear spring, refreshing to the heart, suddenly sounded and almost scared me.

I looked at the projection that rose up beside me in embarrassment: "As for the photos, can we wait until tomorrow?"

The corner of Himari's eye twitched: "...Hehe~ A genius, elegant and beautiful girl would never be so rude~"

...I think it's already very rude to show up at someone else's house unexpectedly.

"What is that?" I asked solemnly. "Is it about Alice?"

"Hmm, it seems that you have completely reconciled with the child in Alice's spiritual space. That's great, that's great."

Himari sighed and stared at me. When I nodded, she looked at me with a puzzled look. After a long while, she whispered:

"..."

I saw the girl's lips moving in the projection, as if she said something, but I couldn't hear anything clearly, so I asked in confusion: "What did you say?"

But Himari suddenly became excited: "You are too rude, do you really have to let a reserved lady speak her mind completely before you can understand?"

What else?! ?

As he spoke those unreasonable words, Himari became more and more embarrassed and annoyed, and even hung up the phone.

I sent her another message asking what happened, but she didn't reply at all, which made me feel very confused.

But I don’t have the energy to think too much right now, so I might as well rest early.

It was not until an hour later, when I finished taking a bath and was about to go to bed, that I received the momotalk message she sent me.

Himari: Oh, I'm really sorry about what happened before.

Himari: I shouldn't have scolded you like that.

Himari: Please make peace with me as well.

...So it's just because of such a trivial matter?

Thinking about Himari's troublesome and awkward personality, it seemed reasonable to me.

Rather, the fact that she came to apologize to me was the result of her mustering up all her courage and overcoming her psychological barriers.

This shows that she really cares about me.

I originally wanted to respond generously that it was okay, but when I was halfway through typing, I had a new idea.

Me: Look at the selfie.

Himari: Huh?

There was silence for a while before Riju sent another message.

Himari: ...Hehe, so that's how it is. So that's how it is.

This tone gave me a bad feeling.

Sure enough, the next moment, Hikari really had an outburst.

Himari: Oh my~ Oh my~ Even as a teacher, I was unconsciously impressed by the charm of this super genius pure beautiful hacker girl~ What should I do~

Girl, it seems I have no choice but to present the established facts and refute her harshly!

Me: What? Aren’t you impressed by the charm of this super honest and healing beautiful young teacher?

Himari:?

I:?

Himari: Haha, you are so humorous.

Me: Haha, same here.

As I sent the message, the corners of my mouth curled up unconsciously.

It felt like the subtle rift between me and Himari had been completely erased in just a few words.

Of course, it was my selfless act to save Alice that changed Himari's opinion of me.

Japanese Maru: [Picture]

Himari: Then, please enjoy it slowly~ This is the treasure of the millennium and even the treasure of all Kivotos! Like a white lotus blooming on the top of a snowy mountain, it is flawless, pure and beautiful. I took the photo myself!

I clicked on the selfie sent by the other party, and my eyes immediately fixed——

What a bad composition, what a stiff expression.

Fortunately, however, Himari is naturally beautiful, and her evasive eye contact, awkward expression, and old-fashioned posture make her look particularly adorable, enough to be included in my collection.

I accepted the apology gift with satisfaction and continued typing.

Me: How can one be enough? Who are you looking down on?

Me: More please.

Himari: Eh, eh?

Himari: ...Oh no, I have to get busy now, let's talk about it next time!

Why does it seem like someone is scared?

Himari: Well, Chi-chan and I are going to give Alice a physical examination.

Me: Well, come on, go to bed early.

Himari: Haha, you too, just leave everything to me.

Himari: By the way, don’t forget what you promised.

It's because my body is too attractive that she is so greedy. Blame me, blame me.

After ending the pleasant conversation with Himari, I said good night to Hanaya and ignored the subsequent message bombardment. I took out the cold card and took a look at it, thinking that it seemed that I was still missing some opportunity.

How long do we have to wait? It should be soon.

I covered myself with the quilt and soon fell into a wonderful dream.

Chapter 138 Yes, Liyin

The next morning, after a good sleep and recovering to my prime, I arrived at the millennium early.

Walking in the corridor, I heard a commotion; when I entered the door of the Ministry of Truth, I saw a very shocking scene -

At this moment, the activity room of the Ministry of Truth was clearly divided into two factions by an invisible dividing line.
