Survive in Azure Files

boom!

Hua Ye didn't even knock on the door, but just pushed it open and barged in. She walked to the desk in two or three steps, and her tone was full of displeasure:

"Captain Tailblade, I need an explanation."

I closed the door behind me, blocking out the mixed, curious, and worried looks from the policemen in the corridor, and sized up the appearance of the "Chief Tail Blade"—

Two slender animal ears stood up high, long light golden hair covered the right eye, and the pupil was a clear gray-blue.

The drooping eyes and low eyebrows seem to be wrinkled all the time, and the grinning mouth reveals a mouthful of shark-like fangs. Coupled with his cold temperament, it can be said that he is born with a scary appearance.

Despite this, she is still a beauty.

On the way here, I took the time to use my phone to look up his information. Osamu Hagami is a student at Valkyrie Police Academy, nicknamed "Mad Dog".

Tail Blade Nagisa looked past Hanaya's thin body, glanced at me coldly, lowered his head, and spoke emotionlessly while writing something on the document:

"Explanation? What explanation? I've already made it very clear on momotalk."

"Tell me, what do you mean by impossible? Tail Blade Nagisa, is this how you treat your superiors?"

"Ugh."

Tail Blade Nagisa sighed, put down his pen, and responded in a tough manner: "Such an unreasonable order, even if it is issued by the chief of the defense room himself, I will never accept it. If my reply is not tactful enough and makes you unhappy, I can express my sincere apologies to you."

As he spoke, Ye Zhu stood up with his hands on the table, walked around to the front of the desk, and looked into Hua Ye's eyes without fear: "But if you still want to use your status to force me to bow my head, please give up as soon as possible and go back to your ivory tower!"

"you!"

Hua Ye took a half step back, her hand trembling slightly as she pointed at Ye Zhu, her tone even carrying a hint of grievance: "How dare you talk to me like that!"

"Oh, I'm sorry. And then."

"Your public security department has enough manpower, right? I'm just temporarily borrowing a team from you. What's so unreasonable about that?"

"I'm sorry, but our police officers are all very busy from top to bottom."

I remembered what I saw when I first entered the door: in the most conspicuous place in the first-floor lobby, more than a dozen policemen were chatting animatedly with donuts in one hand and coffee in the other. When they saw someone coming, they even chatted louder.

……Um?

Huaye continued to argue with Ye Zhu.

"You must be joking! I see you guys are quite free! Can you say you're busy when you all gather together at the headquarters to enjoy the air conditioning and eat snacks during working hours?"

Ye Zhu said coldly: "What do you know? This is also part of the mission."

"You Valkyrie scum!"

"…If you say so, then it is."

Facing Ye Zhu's stubborn attitude, Hua Ye's face turned red with anger:

"Every quarter, every quarter, I allocate this much funding to you..."

As I was concentrating on watching the argument between the two, I noticed that when Ye Zhu heard the word "funds", the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

"Did I give you too little? You use sophisticated weapons and enjoy generous treatment, but you can't even complete your job. You just sit there and watch the crime rate in Kivotos rise. You don't take me, the head of the defense room, seriously at all, and you don't take your responsibilities seriously!"

Huaya became more and more excited as she spoke, and her ordinary chest almost seemed to be rounded.

In contrast, Ye Zhu just stared at her silently, but his eyes became increasingly cold.

"You and your men, all—"

"Have you had enough of the trouble?"

Suddenly, a low growl of suppressed anger came out from between Ye Zhu's teeth.

"Alas!"

Huaya was frightened and trembled. She uttered a short sound and turned her head quickly to look at me. Seeing that I had an indignant expression as she wished, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, swallowed the remaining half of the sentence, and instead said something harsh with a rather cowardly tone -

"Tailblade, you're going to regret this!"

"Shiranui, I'm the chief of public security."

Huaye slammed the door and left.

I watched this wonderful show with great interest, nodded to Ye Zhu who had returned to his original seat, and then chased after Hua Ye.

After we left the Public Security Bureau building, I held the umbrella for Huaye again. She pretended to let out a long sigh and apologized to me:

"I'm sorry, sensei, I disappoint you. As you can see, I am just a director with no power but a title who is looked down upon by my subordinates."

...No, do you really think you have good acting skills?

Seeing Hanaya's apologetic look makes me want to laugh. Does she think her design is perfect, or does she think I'm a fool who can be fooled at will?

No matter which one, it's hilarious.

I turned my face away, quietly pinched my thigh flesh with my hands, and tried my best to keep my facial expression calm, but I still couldn't control the trembling of my lips.

However, with Hanaya's intelligence, she would definitely think that I was sympathizing with her and felt deeply guilty for my behavior that caused her to lose face.

"Sensei, it's okay. I'm used to it."

I took a sharp breath to stop myself from laughing.

I have to play with Hua Ye to see what this kid is planning, but I must not reveal any flaws.

"sorry."

"Hehe~ I told you it's okay~ Sensei is such a weird person~"

I also feel like I'm a weirdo for thinking that Huaye, who is acting coquettishly towards me, is somewhat cute.

This series of clownish behavior of Hanaya did not make me hate her. On the contrary, my liking for Hanaya increased instead of decreasing.

What an amazing and reassuring level of wisdom!

When we were halfway back with Huaye, Huaye spoke again.

"Sensei, I will think of a solution for your problem after I return. Please exchange your MomoTalk contact information with me first."

"Okay, thank you for your help."

After Huaye and I added each other as friends, she sent me an emoticon: a lamb with the word "Superman" on its head.

I asked curiously, "Do you like Superman very much?"

Huaya smiled and nodded: "Yes! To be exact, I want to become a superman~"

"Haha, then we are the same."

Hearing this, Hanaya's eyes, which were always narrowed, opened again. After a brief moment of shock, an unpretentious look of joy burst out from her face, which seemed to be wearing a mask all the time.

"Is it true? As an adult, Sensei, do you also want to become a superman like the student council president like me?"

...The student council president also wears his underwear outside?

Before I could react, Hanaya grabbed my arm, her eyes sparkling, and continued to speak excitedly:

"Unlike ignorant mortals, he has the ability to easily solve any problem, and an open mind that can put aside hatred without any worries to achieve his goals, which can easily convince everyone! And more..."

It turns out to be just a simple case of chuunibyou.

Just like that, I listened to Huaye describing her longing and imagination for the so-called superman, until we returned to the gate of the sanctuary tower, and Huaye finally let go of my hand.

"It's great that we share the same ideals, sensei~"

Huaye's attitude towards me became obviously much closer.

Because I thought it would be troublesome to bring it back to Xialai, I put away the umbrella and handed it to Huaye: "Then this umbrella is for you. As a future superman, you can't get sunburned because you forget to bring an umbrella when you go out."

"Hey~"

Huaye narrowed her eyes and held the umbrella in her arms:

"By the way, sensei~ Before we say goodbye, I want to ask you one last question! That is, who do you think is the closest to Superman in the current Federation Student Union~"

After saying that, Huaye puffed out her chest, full of anticipation.

I guess he hopes to get affirmation from me.

"I think it's Rin."

Hua Yeru was struck by lightning.

"Eh? Wait, why do you say it's the Seven Gods... Why that Seven God? Shouldn't it be me?"

"Well..."

I recalled the pile of documents on Rin's desk, her tired face but still insisting on working, and smiled at Hanaya:

"Once you figure out why, you'll be closer to Superman."

After saying that, I turned around and left without caring about Hua Ye's reaction.

-

Shiranui Hanaya bit her lower lip and stared at Sensei's back until he disappeared at the end of the road.

"Heh... after all, he is just a mortal... what a pity..."

Hanaya muttered to herself in a voice that only she could hear. She lowered her head and realized that she was still holding the long-handled umbrella that the blind sensei gave her, which only cost 500 yen in the supermarket. She became more and more annoyed.

Compared with this kind of mass-produced cheap goods, the exquisite folding umbrella that she is carrying in her bag is more in line with her noble status!

Something like this...something like this...

Take it home and throw it in the trash.

Huaya took a few deep breaths, put on her usual smile, and took this gift that was totally inconsistent with her status and was given by a disgusting guy... No, it's garbage!

Huaya took this garbage, which she despised, back to her own office and temporarily placed it on the edge of the large desk.

"Tsk, that's perfect. No need to change plans midway. I actually had a moment where I considered that bastard a close friend."

After taking off her boots and lying down on the soft sofa, Huaya muttered to herself while opening momotalk and sending a message -

Huaye: The cooperation is good. The additional funding plan will be submitted as agreed at the next meeting.

Ye Zhu: Thank you very much.

Huaya: But let me tell you, you actually spoke the truth at that time, right?

Huaya: How dare you yell at me?

Ye Zhu: I’m very sorry.

Hanaya: Huhu~ You didn’t deny it~ It’s okay, I won’t mind such a small thing.

Hanaya: How is it? This is the tolerance of a superman.

Hua Ye: As long as they listen to me, the Public Security Bureau will be able to get rid of its powerless situation!

Ye Zhu: I understand.

Slide your finger to switch chat windows.

Huaye: What do you think about my previous proposal?

Hanaya: You still don’t believe me.

Hanaya: How about this, I'll let Xia Lai's sensei go to your side.

Huaya: You can try to ask him for help?

Hanaya: But if even Xia Lai's sensei can't stop SRT from closing the school...

Huaye: Just come to me obediently.

Hanaya: As long as you listen to me, SRT can avoid the fate of being closed down!

Huaye: Why are all the messages read but not replied?

Huaye: Then I will take it as my default~

Hanaya: I'm really looking forward to the day when you can work for me.

Hanaya: Yukino-chan~

After sending all the messages, Huaye turned off her phone and lazily lay on her side.

"As expected of me, I'm a superhero~ Even my impromptu plans are so perfect!"

"From Xia Lai's perspective, it is impossible for me to directly intervene in the decision to abolish the academy. When Nana Yukino realizes that only I can do this, Team Fox will be mine~"
