Survive in Azure Files

Seriously speaking, I was quite shocked to find that the other party was in such a state when we met.

When I got closer, Hanako gave me a charming smile:

"Hello, teacher. Thank you very much for coming over."

I nodded slightly, trying to focus my eyes on her beautiful face, and asked in the calmest tone possible:

"Come to think of it, where are you now...?"

“It’s cool here, very comfortable~”

As she spoke, she narrowed her eyes, tilted her slender neck, and looked extremely happy: "For me, it's like a special seat, hehe~"

In other words, Hanako often follows the example of the ancients and washes her feet in running water here?

I came up with a bold idea.

"This is a rare opportunity, how about the teacher coming over to join us?"

At this time, Hanako invited me, with a strange gleam in her emerald eyes: "Do you want to take it off here, together...?"

He really has evil intentions towards me!

Although this proposal seems to be feasible to a certain extent, as a gentleman, how could I agree to it?

I was just thinking seriously about the water circulation system of the Holy Trinity Fountain, but I immediately refused with a righteous tone: "No!"

Hanako smiled indifferently, and in a tone that could not be softer, she looked at me and muttered to herself:

"Don't you feel happy showing your skin in broad daylight like this? It feels like... I've done something I shouldn't have done."

There seemed to be other hidden meanings in what she said, which were worth careful consideration.

However, I no longer have time to think.

Because the gorgeous girl in front of me slightly raised her legs and pulled her wet feet out of the water. She was so dazzling under the bright sunshine that I couldn't take my eyes off her for a moment.

The sun seemed to suddenly become very strong, making my mouth dry and I couldn't help wanting to drink something.

However, I heard that drinking cold water is bad for the stomach. Is there any water around that is around 36 or 37 degrees and can help me replenish some salt?

Unfortunately, as I looked on with a little disappointment, Hanako quickly wiped off the moisture with the towel that had been prepared earlier, then put on her shoes and socks, jumped off the fountain and walked towards me.

I quickly returned to my stern expression.

After all, I am a well-informed person, so I won't be swayed by a mere Hanako.

"Haha~"

A strange girl came up to me and smiled in an unfathomable way:

"Teacher, don't you like to take it off?"

Chapter 14 What do you know about me?

From Hanako's question, I once again sensed a hint of something unusual.

Why, after “take off”, there is no limitation of “shoes and socks”?

I secretly thought that this was not good, and immediately decided to change the subject, but it was too late -

"I like it very much." Seeing that I didn't answer, Hanako smiled and said to herself, "Sometimes, I will take off all my clothes and walk around the campus. Every time I do, I have an indescribable feeling..."

Normally, this feeling should be called shame...

No, that's for ordinary people, but for Hanako, it might be more of a sense of satisfaction, relief, or something like that...

Hanako continued to talk: "In the space of daily life, doing something extraordinary is like violating some kind of taboo... I've also read about this in a book, and I heard that it's good for health."

What book did you read this in?!

Seeing my embarrassment, the girl's smile became brighter and her tone became sweeter, as if she was trying to persuade me to fall into depravity with her:

"Teacher, how about you try it too? Surprisingly, we don't really understand our true desires. Maybe after trying it, you will unexpectedly become addicted to this feeling?"

As expected, a problem student like Hanako, who talks dirty all the time and leaves you at a loss as to how to respond, is the type of person I simply cannot handle.

"…I think it's better to give up."

"Hehe~ You can imagine. If the whole Trinity becomes popular, it will be very interesting~ Everyone takes off their clothes and comes to school with a refreshed mood."

It’s probably not the mood that makes you feel refreshed.

Looking at the girl with a meaningful smile on her face, I was speechless and suddenly felt a little depressed.

Why, when facing Hanako, I seem to be led by the nose all the time?

Even Mutsuki knows his limits and wouldn't tease me in this way so often and put me in such an awkward situation.

Is she demonstrating to me, or testing me? I still can't figure out Hanako's real purpose behind her unusual words and actions.

But there is only one thing I know.

That is, I must find a way to deal with it and not let Hanako continue to act so recklessly.

What if Hanako wanted to see me embarrassed for some reason or something?

"Teacher, don't you think that such a scene is interesting just to imagine?"

Just at this moment, she asked me a question that normally I would have no way of answering.

I pondered for a moment and tried:

"It does sound interesting. It would be great if it really turns out like that."

As I said this, I smiled gently and nodded slightly, as if I agreed with Hanako's idea.

If I do this, maybe she will feel bored and give up...

However, Hanako blinked, and then her emerald eyes shone with a far brighter light than before:

"Oh~ So you think so too, teacher? That's great~ In that case, please use Xia Lai's authority to implement this system in the cram school! Hehe~ Everyone is a very cute child~ It's fun to think about everyone lovingly cram in the empty classroom after school!"

After listening to her long speech, my smile completely froze.

"Hanako..."

"Hmm? What's wrong, teacher?"

I put on a straight face and said, "Things like that are really not okay. Please don't mention them again."

This was my second attempt. Since compliance would only encourage her arrogance, I decided to do the opposite and take a tough stance.

However, I don't want to make the relationship with her too awkward, so I can only do this much.

As if she saw through my superficial weakness, Hanako curled her lips, but she still restrained herself as I wished:

"Don't be so serious, please rest assured, I'm just joking."

This joke is not funny to me.

I breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Hanako still knew her limits.

"But, if it really turns out like that, it will definitely be very interesting. If Xia Lai's authority beyond the law is used... if you don't want to be expelled, you can only obey the teacher's orders and do this and that~"

The preface is retracted.

After only a few seconds, Hanako returned to her old self.

I felt powerless, and sighed:

"Hanako, please, you didn't ask me to come here today just to talk about this, did you?"

There was really nothing I could do about her, so I could only give in humiliatingly and change the subject.

At the same time, I was thinking quickly about what other methods I could use to stop Hanako's endless harassment without affecting our relationship too much.

From the information I have now... from Hanako's words that seem to carry a lot of meaning...

I tried to trace the source and analyze her true thoughts, but the existing clues were too fragmented to be pieced together.

"...Ah, okay, I won't say anything then."

Hanako gave me an apologetic smile:

"I asked you to come here because I had some questions about tutoring that I wanted to ask the teacher...but I accidentally had so much fun chatting with the teacher..."

Hearing this, my expression and mood couldn't help but relax.

If I say that Hanako was just too excited and overly excited to have the opportunity to be alone with me, whom she had a crush on, and that was why she made so many extreme jokes, then it would be understandable.

The more I thought about it, the more it made sense to me. The way I looked at Hanako became much gentler than before.

Now it seems that she is just not good at expressing her feelings, so she uses this strange way to get along with others.

...By the way, "maybe after trying it, you'll unexpectedly become addicted to this feeling." Could this be Hanako's personal experience?

I felt as if I had caught a glimpse of the truth.

However, since Hanako is finally willing to get back to the point, I don’t need to worry about it now.

"It's okay," I said with a genuine smile, "What question do you need me to answer? I'll let you know in advance that if it's too difficult, I'll have to seek help from outside the venue."

Hanako nodded, "Well, let's talk somewhere else. I found a place that's perfect for 'studying'."

Maybe it was my illusion, but when Hanako said the word "study", it seemed that she deliberately put emphasis on it.

And the next moment, Hanako ruthlessly shattered my luck again with an extremely intriguing statement:

"It's a great place to teach all kinds of practical skills...Okay, let's go."

After saying that, Hanako walked towards a certain direction with a relaxed and happy look on her face.

But she quickly turned around and looked at me, who was standing there hesitantly, with clear eyes, questioningly:

"Teacher, what's wrong? Why are you standing there? Let's go."

"...Let me ask you something first." I said in a deep voice, "Which place are you talking about?"

"Isn't this certain? Since we are talking about tutoring, then of course it is..."

Hanako and I looked at each other with a hint of amusement and teasing in her eyes again: "No one will come to the sports warehouse. Don't worry, I have borrowed the key in advance, okay?"

As she spoke, she took out a shiny metal key and showed it to me.

What kind of practical skills need to be taught in sports warehouses.

Having read related works, I knew that Hanako was making an inappropriate joke again, and I sighed heavily inwardly.

For a moment, the anger in my heart completely disappeared, leaving only deep helplessness.

And extreme calmness.

Hanako was so quick-witted that she could tell who Hifumi and I were and what we were up to the moment we met. She couldn't have been unaware that such behavior would turn people away. As a student of Trinity, she didn't even bother to pretend.

Rumor has it that she was expelled from prayer class for wearing a swimsuit, and I saw her get arrested by the Justice Enforcement Committee because of her attire. In other words, she knew her behavior violated school rules, but she still did it.

There was also a test paper that was obviously scribbled on, combined with what Hanako had just said.

I think it should not be difficult to draw a conclusion -

Hanako probably did all this on purpose.

The key question is, why is this happening?

The analysis should not continue at this point, because there are too many possibilities that can lead a person to give up on himself.

But, for some reason, I felt a sense of déjà vu in Hanako.

"Um... sorry, I think I went too far. The teacher's reaction was so funny."

Hanako said to me casually, "Let's go to the library of the main building. There are a lot of people there, so you don't have to worry. Okay, let's go."

I nodded slightly and followed her.

As I stared at her back, my thoughts raced, trying to find out where that feeling of having seen a similar situation before came from.

Suddenly, as if an inspiration came to me, I stopped.

"teacher?"

Hanako turned around and looked at me in confusion: "What happened again?"

Without answering her question, I lowered my head and whispered:
