Survive in Azure Files

One side is playing games enthusiastically, while the other side is working silently.

The number of the former is seven times that of the latter.

Apart from Hinami who was said to be in poor health and went back to catch up on some sleep, there were a total of eight people in the Ministry of Truth and the Game Development Department, but Chihiro was the only one who was typing on the computer, apparently processing data.

Amid the hustle and bustle so close to her, the girl who remains focused and absorbed in her own world has a special appeal in my eyes.

Suddenly I felt that Xia Lai’s network security system might need a comprehensive upgrade, so I have to ask Qianxun for help!

At this time, the girls finally noticed me and greeted me one by one.

After responding one by one, I saw that Alice and the others seemed unable to pause the game, so I walked to Chihiro's side.

"Wait a moment, teacher." Qianxun didn't even turn her head, staring at the characters jumping on the screen, "It will be done soon... OK."

Finally, he lightly tapped the Enter key, picked up the can of black coffee beside him, took a sip, and then turned his swivel chair towards me:

"Teacher, Hiruzen asked me to bring you a message."

"What did Himari say?"

"It's about the conclusion of Alice's examination."

Chihiro pushed up her glasses and explained to me as concisely as possible.

In a nutshell, with the technology currently mastered by the Ministry of Truth, it is still impossible to detect whether Kai still exists inside Alice.

But one thing that can be confirmed is that based on some of Alice's descriptions, it can be inferred that Kay did pay a heavy price for fighting with Alice for control of the body at that time. Theoretically speaking, he will not appear again, at least for a long time.

Judging from the previous startup message of [Ark of Atrahasis], without the launcher AI, the Princess of the Nameless Gods seems unable to complete the program startup independently, which can basically be considered safe.

"…Hinami passed this information to President Liyin of the seminar."

I was not surprised at all, and nodded and asked, "What did Liyin say?"

"President Li Yin hopes that you can go to see her," Chihiro turned her eyes to the side, where a black-haired girl was playing a game at a critical moment, "bring Alice with you."

As if she heard this, Alice stopped operating her hands and sat up straight.

"I see. Or at the top of the Millennium Tower?"

"Yeah. This time it's the office."

While waiting for the girls to finish the game, I politely declined their invitation to form a team as they were short of one player. Then, I looked into the eyes of Alice who stood up silently.

I saw determination in her eyes, and I couldn't help but smile.

"Don't be too nervous."

I patted her head, said goodbye to the others who had vaguely realized something, and then I took Alice to the Chiwanen Tower.

After arriving at the seminar on the top floor, I unexpectedly but understandably ran into two girls walking side by side.

"Hey, teacher, good morning~"

As soon as she saw me, Yuuka's face was filled with a bright smile, and her voice became sweet; but when she looked at Alice again, her expression and voice were both meaningful, making Alice tremble:

"Hmm? Alice? How's your game going?"

Alice's face turned pale: "I'm doing it!"

...Even I only just remembered now that there is such a thing as the Millennium Club Activities Awards, not to mention the game development department. I'm afraid that there will be no new progress in the past few days.

Seeing through Alice's guilty conscience, Yuuka smiled coldly: "Then I look forward to you winning the prize. Well, teacher, I still have work to do, so I'll take my leave now."

After greeting me, Yuuka left in a hurry, looking really busy. She stopped here to greet me, who she admired, and to remind the game development department not to slack off.

It's just a bit scary for kids.

"Well, I'll leave too." Noah waved at me with a smile and quickly followed Yuka.

Noah's attitude towards me is still indifferent, but I believe that even if he knows that I am a playboy, Noah will be seduced by my personal charm and fall one day.

I never feel anxious.

After this little episode, Alice and I soon arrived at Liyin's office.

I patted Alice's head once again to reassure her and fill her with determination, then I opened the office door.

The slim beauty with black hair and red eyes stood up from behind the desk and stared at Alice coldly.

Alice pinched the corner of her clothes a little nervously: "Hello, Senior Liyin, I am Alice, a first-year student..."

But Liyin didn't answer, just kept staring.

Alice took a deep breath, mustered up her courage, and returned a clear look.

As their eyes met, the atmosphere became increasingly depressing and heavy.

I watched the silent confrontation between the two and did not speak rashly.

The main thing is that if I show a biased attitude, Liyin will get upset, and then a simple matter will become complicated.

and……

Judging from Liyin's personality, it might not be a way for her to intimidate Alice.

After a while, Liyin said, "This should be the first time we meet."

"Yes, but I have heard a lot about Li Yin-senpai from other people."

"……Oh."

Oh no, the polite words that Alice tried so hard to say hit Liyin's sore spot instead.

But Liyin will adjust her mood by herself.

"The teacher is willing to take you as a student, and Himari assured me that you are no longer a threat..." Li Yin paused and said in a calm tone, "I hope you understand that this does not mean that I will share the same views as them."

"Yes!" Alice said loudly, "I will try my best to make you, Li Yin-senpai, approve of me!"

"…Maybe I made you misunderstand something, but I have no intention of getting along with you."

Liyin said: "I will not regard you as a student. I will only allow you to use the identity of 'Millennium Student'. As a price, you need to cooperate with the joint research of the Ministry of Truth and the Engineering Department. During this period, as long as I believe that you still pose any threat, I will spare no effort to eliminate you."

Alice swallowed and straightened her chest: "Yes, Liyin-senpai, Alice will try her best!"

Liyin frowned: "Don't call me senior."

Alice's eyes lit up and she became excited: "Okay, Liyin!"

Liyin choked and glared at me who was trying not to laugh. She hesitated for a moment and said, "You should just call me senior."

"Oh……"

Ignoring Alice's disappointment, Li Yin continued:

"That's all I have to say."

"Well, thank you, Li Yin-senpai."

Liyin did not reply, and even turned her back: "If there is nothing else, you can go back."

But I somehow feel that this might be a good start.

Chapter 139 Alice Wants You to Be Happy

As the real crisis dissipates, everything seems to have come to a good end, and we can once again return to our peaceful and precious daily lives.

Although the game development department is now facing the risk of being disbanded, I believe that as long as they work together and trust each other, they will be able to overcome this difficulty and successfully create a game that everyone will recognize.

As for myself, I can finally take a break...

After finishing the backlog of work from yesterday.

In the afternoon, after finishing my trip to the millennium, I was busy in Xia Lai's office.

After reading the paper documents as quickly as possible, he quickly signed and wrote down his opinions. At the same time, he was thinking about an important issue that was closely related to the future of all Kivotos.

Federal Student Union, when will you be able to implement paperless office?

With my charm and eloquence, it is not difficult to convince the department heads I know, but the key lies in the many problems that come with it.

For example, will they think I have a better relationship with other people and become jealous?

After finishing the documents in my hand, I glanced at the contents of the next one and handed it to the petite girl who was sitting obediently in the office chair and looking at me eagerly:

"Alice, can you help me calculate these numbers?"

"Okay, Alice will try her best."

She smiled sweetly, nodded happily, then took the paper and started calculating.

As for why Alice appeared here, she said that her job today was still the duty hero, and she took the initiative to offer to help me complete the work.

But I strongly suspect that Alice has awakened some millennial public trait, which is why she came to be alone with me when her companions were scared after hearing about Yuka's question and rushed back to the club to start work.

The evidence is that when I didn't assign her any work, she didn't even play games. She just rested her chin on her hands, staring at me, as if she was fascinated by my handsome profile as I focused on my work.

Alas, it was all my fault that I saved the internet addicted girl.

I was busy with official business for a while, and a phone call temporarily interrupted my thoughts.

I hurried to the corridor outside and answered:

"Hello? How are things going now?"

"In other words, as long as I join the club that was temporarily formed by the tea party and pass the make-up exam, I'll be fine?"

"That's great. Come on, Hifumi. I'll do my best to support you."

"But don't get the exam time wrong this time."

"Hahaha, I'm just kidding. I believe you. That time must have been just a coincidence."

"Okay, I'll hang up now. See you next time."

After ending the call with Hifumi, I couldn't help but smile, feeling genuinely happy for her.

Fortunately, Hifumi didn't lose the chance to make amends because she was so obsessed with my beauty and wanted to date me.

If that were to happen, I would be committing a heinous crime.

But then again.

Although Hifumi has a weird personality, she is also extremely serious. Did she really forget the date?

But soon, I burst into laughter and threw this ridiculous doubt out of my head.

Not to mention that Hifumi is just an ordinary student except for her beauty. Even if there are undercurrents in Trinity now, how could the failure of an important exam that only determines whether one will be held back be linked to a conspiracy theory?

What's more, as long as she passes the supplementary exam, Hifumi won't even have to repeat the grade.

And just as Shengya said, I don't need to worry too much now, all I have to do is wait patiently.

Back in the office, I continued working with Alice.

The workload of the past two days was much greater than I had imagined. I was busy until the evening before it finally came to an end.

During this time, I asked Alice if I wanted to go back to the Millennium alone, but she strongly opposed it:

"As a brave warrior, Alice will not leave those in need alone. Since I have accepted the mission, Alice will try her best to assist the teacher in completing all the tasks, and as a reward, I hope the teacher can play games with Alice~"

At that time, she even used her big watery eyes to look up at me pitifully.

Having come to this point, how could I bear to reject the lovely Alice?

"Thank you for your hard work, Alice."

I looked out the window at the dark night, asked her if she was full, and then took her out for dinner.

Then, I tentatively asked if we could give out rewards next time. Seeing Alice pouting as if she was unhappy, I quickly changed my words before she could speak.

Out of desperation, I took Alice back to Xialai and played the two-player cooperative game she wanted to play.

I have to admit that this game is quite interesting. Coupled with Alice's cuteness and superb gaming skills, the gaming experience is taken to a higher level. Before I knew it, I was addicted to it.

Although the game is not very big, when the two of us reached the list of broadcast producers in one go, I realized that it was already late at night.

Alice yawned at the right time and rubbed her tearful eyes, looking sleepy.

This made me give up the idea of ​​sending her back to the Millennium, and I decided to let Alice stay in Xialai for one night today.

Then, I quickly asked her to wash up as she was feeling sleepy.
