Survive in Azure Files

Then I remembered that I forgot to tell Alu that she didn’t need to come over.

I believe Alu will not blame me! If you still want to live in my house for free, sleep on my soft big bed, and use my bathroom with a bathtub.

Hina glanced coldly at the shivering Alu and asked me:

"…Ryuhachima Alu-san and Convenience House 68 are the excuses Ako used to mobilize the troops?"

"That's what happened."

"Ah, I am sorry to trouble you in many ways. Please wait a moment."

After Hina apologized, she sent a message to Ako.

A-Lu moved behind me, gently tugged at the corner of my clothes, and was about to cry——

It's over. Seeing such a cute expression, I really want to bully her.

I gradually came to understand Mutsuki.

"I'm... that... that... in the suburbs of Gehenna! I'm patrolling regularly with the discipline committee members..."

On the other side, facing Hina's questioning, Ako was lying in panic.

Hinata sighed and took two steps towards me, allowing me to be in the frame.

I smiled enthusiastically and waved to the stunned Ayako: "Hi~Ayako sister~This is Xia Lai's sensei~How are you doing~"

"You... Chairman... you... how..."

Hina nodded to me and walked out of the shelter. I followed her naturally, and had the leisure to wonder what Hina's wings would feel like.

With Hinata's appearance, the battle naturally ended.

From the corner of my eye, I saw Kayoko frown, pull Haruka and Mutsuki, quietly retreat behind the crowd, and sneak away.

When I looked back again, Alu had disappeared.

He's quite skilled at escaping.

But I think Hinata must have noticed these little actions, but was just too lazy to care.

I vaguely remember the conversation I had with Hinata.

"Ya Zi, I already know everything."

"Eh? Um, um, Chairman, you can't believe the slander that shameless man has spread against me!"

"You are the one who is slandering me, right?!"

Hinata sighed:

"Ako, confirm and eliminate the destabilizing factors for Gehenna, and leave it to those cunning guys in Pandemonium. We'll discuss the details when we get back. After the communication is cut off, just reflect on yourself in the school building, Ako."

"……OK."

Before cutting off the communication, Yazi glared at me fiercely, apparently holding a grudge against me.

Thus……

I have to build a good relationship with Hina as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, after dealing with Ako's affairs, Hina turned her attention to the people of Abydos.

"We are the Abydos Countermeasures Committee. You are the chairman of the Discipline Committee of Gehenna, right? Nice to meet you. Do you have any understanding of the current situation?" Ayane said.

"Of course." Hina glanced at me, "Iori, Chinatsu."

Led by the head of the Discipline Committee, two officers of the Discipline Committee also bowed down:

"You mobilized troops without prior notice and caused riots in the autonomous area of ​​another school. I, Hina Sorasaki, as the head of the Gehenna Discipline Committee, formally apologize to the Abydos Countermeasures Committee for this.

"From now on, the Gehenna Discipline Committee will no longer invade here without permission. Please forgive me."

After saying that, Hinata raised her head, and her eyes, which had just opened, narrowed again.

Then, his eyes suddenly focused:

"Kotori Yu Hoshino?"

"Hey~ What's wrong~ Uncle, did I miss something again~"

Hoshino, who arrived late, happened to see this apology scene: "Sorry, sorry~ I wanted to take a nap at noon, but I overslept~ It seems that everything has been resolved? Thanks to sensei again?"

"... Hoshino Kotori, you're like a completely different person since you were a freshman. I thought you left Abydos after that incident."

What is Hoshino like as a first-year student?

Hoshino's usual lazy expression disappeared from his face. He just kept a cold face and said nothing.

Hina didn't say anything more to Hoshino, and turned back to order:

"Iori, Chinatsu, prepare to retreat."

The girl named Iori was still a little unwilling, but after being glared at by Hina, she just obeyed.

As Hina and I passed by, she paused for a moment:

"Sensei, have you heard of Caesars?"

"Have a grudge."

"..."

Hinata seemed to be choked by this concise and capable reply, and then continued to speak softly: "This is information that neither Pandemonium nor the Tea Party knows, but I feel it is necessary to tell you first.

“That abandoned desert of Abydos… it looks like the Caesar Group is planning something there.

"I'm not obliged to tell this information to Abydos, which is about to close down... Just listen to it for now.

"Well, see you next time, sensei."

"Wait a mininute."

I called Hina and took out my phone: "Can I check the text first?"

"...Ah?... Well, it's not impossible."

Get da☆ze's contact information!

I struck while the iron was hot: "Can I come to the Discipline Committee to see you tomorrow?"

“…Is it about work?”

I don’t know if it’s my illusion, but Hina seems a little at a loss.

"Yes. I have visited the tea party and the seminar, and after all, I have to visit the Discipline Committee."

"The Pantheon is... well... I understand."

Thinking about how unreliable Pandemonium was, Hinata agreed.

"Then, tomorrow, I will look forward to your presence."

After agreeing to meet again tomorrow, Hinata and his men quickly evacuated.

Chapter 29 Omen

The withdrawal of the Discipline Committee announced the official end of the battle and also meant the beginning of post-war work.

Call an ambulance to take the injured General Chai to the hospital for treatment, contact the construction company to send people to repair the streets, and continue to lay out fortifications...

Thanks to the strong martial virtues of the residents, Kivotos' military industry, infrastructure, medical care and other industries are quite prosperous, and the speed of deployment and efficiency of work are also very high.

The streets that were once full of potholes and craters can be completely renovated in just a few hours; ambulances or rescue helicopters are on standby at all times and will set off directly once the order is placed.

Of course, the prerequisite is to pay.

Although the price was not expensive, and could even be said to be extremely low, Abydos was previously heavily in debt and it was difficult to scrape out the money from the interest owed.

So in the past, Nomiya paid privately.

But now it's different.

Serika generously used the salary she earned from her part-time job to pay for the necessary expenses.

This made Nomiya feel relieved and lonely.

"It's like the feeling of a child at home growing up and no longer needing support from his mother."

On the way back to the academy, Nomiya said this to me.

As for the rest of the people, Hoshino and Shirako formed two teams to patrol the autonomous region to confirm whether the Steel Helmets had really retreated, while Serika was preparing to go to the hospital to pay the bill and sign.

I complained: "Why do you sound like Hoshino?"

"Is that so? Maybe it's because I've spent the longest time with Hoshino-senpai. I saw something online saying that people unconsciously learn the speaking style of people they know~"

When I heard Nomiya mention her friendship with Hoshino, I suddenly thought of Hina's surprise when she saw Hoshino and the words she said.

"Nomiya, do you know what Hoshino was like when he was a first-year student?"

"Hey, when I met Hoshino-senpai, she was already a sophomore," Nomiya paused, reminiscing, "but the feeling that Hoshino-senpai gave me when I first met her was completely different from the feeling that she gave me now. At that time, Hoshino-senpai was a man of great resolution and swiftness."

I was surprised by Nomiya's description, but it made sense when I thought about it.

After all, I have seen Hoshino being active late at night, which is different from his usual lazy and leisurely image.

Refers to daily spontaneous patrols.

Hoshino may have changed, but maybe he has never changed.

I asked Nomiya again if he knew the reason for the change, and Nomiya only said that he heard that there was a predecessor in the past.

The last student council president of Abydos was said to be a very unreliable guy. Since that person disappeared, Hoshino has been responsible for everything in Abydos.

That's right...

I secretly feel sorry for Hoshino.

"Thanks to sensei, Hoshino-senpai's personality has become more gentle now, and he is willing to interact with people from other academies."

I smiled sheepishly and accepted Nomiya's compliment.

While we were talking, we had already returned to school.

When I entered the activity room, I saw Ayane beating Mutsuki—

To be exact, it was just playing and joking.

Ayane's face flushed red, and she angrily hit Mutsuki on the head with a book, while Mutsuki symbolically blocked it with his hand and laughed like a silver bell.

"Ahahaha~ Stop for a moment, little girl with glasses~ Look who's back~ Sensei, save me~"

Mutsuki fled behind me.

"First, my name is not the girl with glasses, my name is Ayane. Second, don't use sensei as a shield!"

"Alright, alright~ Ayane, don't be angry. Look, sensei is here. Classmate, you don't want sensei to see your violent side, do you?"

I think an angry Ayane is also quite cute in contrast.

I already understood the current situation: Mutsuki must have played a joke or a prank on Ayane, which made her angry, and now he is bullying Ayane because she is honest and wants to take advantage of the girl's sense of shame.

Unfortunately, Mutsuki missed something this time.

Nomiya crept up behind Mutsuki and hugged her: "Ahaha~ I caught you! Ayane~ Come and take revenge~"

I stepped aside and said, "Ayane, come on!"

"Aiya~ I've been caught~"

There was no sign of panic on Mutsuki's face. Instead, he smiled even more happily and didn't struggle at all.

Seeing this, Ayane immediately lost her temper and didn't bother to care about it anymore.

After the fun was over, I found a seat and sat down, and asked, "Where are the others from Convenience House 68?"

"Haruka went to plant the bomb, I don't know about Kayoko, and as for Aru-chan..."

Mutsuki couldn't hold back his laughter: "Pfft, Alu-chan accidentally fell while running away, and now she's using the bathroom in Abydos to take a shower~"

As expected of Alu.

After a while, A-Lu, with her hair still a little damp, walked into the activity room and saw me sitting in the main seat, with my fingers crossed under my nose and my glasses reflecting a cold light.
