Survive in Azure Files

When I heard this, I was stunned at first, then I quickly reached out to touch the back of my head, and of course I didn't touch anything.

So I took out the dead box of Shiting and used it as a mirror, and finally saw the reflection of the halo clearly -

A pure white corona floats quietly just behind my head, like a crown.

"…This is a little secret of adults."

[Eye of the Storm] was activated, and several invisible wind blades slashed out, cutting off all of Xingye's chains. Then, it was the heavy iron door.

Not daring to delay any longer, I carried Xingye on my back and ran away quickly at a speed that I had never imagined in the past.

The explosion didn't come until we escaped to a safe area.

Putting Hoshino down, I tried to remove the [White Crown King]. The moment the halo disappeared, my eyes went dark and I instantly lost consciousness.

-

In a mysterious space.

Everyone present was silent as they looked at the completely black surveillance screen.

Until a difficult female voice sounded:

"As an alien being... he actually carries the [mystery] within himself...?"

"Moreover, we can tell from its appearance that it is definitely not an ordinary item."

"We can see technology similar to the Cross Divine Name, but it seems to be more sophisticated."

"Everyone, you can make a decision now!" Black Suit interrupted his companions excitedly, "We can all see that this ceremony is not over yet. In the hands of the teacher, there must be a technology that can achieve [sublime]!"

Heifu took a deep breath and said, "I propose again—

"Make observation of the teacher's behavior the first priority. Who agrees and who disagrees?"

In the end, the proposal was passed unanimously.

The end is towards a brand new tomorrow

When I woke up, what caught my eye was Hoshino's warm smile.

I felt like I was lying flat on soft, rough sand, with the back of my head resting on smooth skin.

"Teacher, you are awake."

Hoshino's voice was still a little hoarse, but his tone had returned to its usual laziness, but with some other emotions mixed in:

"Ahaha~ In the past, I always lay on someone's thighs. In other words, this is my first time to be a knee pillow for someone, right? Teacher, if there's anything I didn't do well, please don't tell me~"

"Hoshino...how long has it been?"

"About a minute, maybe?"

I stared at Hoshino's face, took out a wet wipe from my pocket, and wanted to wipe the dirt off her face.

However, just as I stretched out my hand halfway, Hoshino grabbed it.

Hoshino took the wet wipes from my hand and began to gently press them on my face:

"Teacher, you can't do this kind of thing to the opposite sex casually."

When I heard Hoshino's words in a lecturing tone, I subconsciously uttered a "huh".

"It's too intimate. It will be seen as... expressing affection to the other person." The voice became lower and lower, and Hoshino's eyes gradually became moist when he looked at me. The girl bit her lower lip lightly and shyly turned her eyes away.

A sense of unreality suddenly rose in my heart.

Is this still the same Hoshino? The Hoshino who hated me and spoke ill of me?

The huge contrast between before and after eventually turned into an unparalleled sense of accomplishment.

I still have some grudges against Hoshino, but it doesn't matter anymore. It's better to say that this is indeed better!

The more I think about Hoshino's bad attitude in the past, and the more I look at Hoshino's shy expression now, the more my heart is moved.

I think I may not have fallen in love with Xingye yet. At least, before she took the initiative to bow down, admit her mistakes, and beg for forgiveness from me...

Well, I guess so.

I must admit that I am not as determined as I thought I was in this regard.

Besides, I don’t have the extra energy to think about these troubles now.

I have fulfilled my promise, reversed the prophecy given by Shengya, and successfully rescued Xingye. It's time to have a good rest.

But Xingye doesn't seem to think so:

"teacher……"

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Hoshino scratched his cheek shyly, still not daring to look at me, and asked hesitantly:

"Um...so...what is our relationship now?"

"Ah?" I was confused. "What else could it be besides an ordinary teacher-student relationship?"

"Ah?" Xingye said anxiously, "Wait a minute! What do you mean by an ordinary teacher-student relationship?"

It's a Kivotos specialty.

I was about to explain when a surprised shout came from not far away.

"Wow~ Teacher! And Hoshino-senpai! Everyone~ They are here!"

I half-raised my upper body and looked in the direction of the sound, only to see Nomiya standing on a sand dune, facing sideways towards us, turning his head and waving behind us.

Should we say we came at the right time?

I lay down again and rested my head on Hoshino's legs - but there was nothing where Hoshino's legs were originally, and the back of my head fell on the yellow sand.

"Heh. There's no such treatment between ordinary teachers and students."

Hoshino stood up with a sneer, glared at me with disdain, stuck out his tongue and made a face, then changed back to a smile filled with emotion and ran towards his juniors:

"Everyone, I'm sorry, I'm back."

Hoshino cried and laughed, and hugged the other girls on the Countermeasures Committee.

The girls also cast concerned glances at me, but when they saw me sitting up and waving to them and that I looked fine, they were all immersed in the joy of reunion.

Only a girl with a paper bag on her head and whose face could not be seen clearly, carrying a backpack with a cartoon chicken image, came up to me:

"Ah wow wow... Teacher, are you okay?"

"I think I'm in trouble."

I felt deeply saddened by these students who forgot about their friends. I looked at the only good student who came to my side with emotion: "Master Faust! I will follow you all my life!"

"Eh? Ah!"

Hifumi took the paper bag and said with a confused expression: "My name is not Faust. Um, teacher, do you need some medicine?"

"Then please."

So, Hifumi squatted beside me, took out medicine and bandages from her backpack, and bandaged me gently.

Not far away, the girls who had finished reminiscing about the past, Shirako, Nomiya, Serika, Ayane, and Hoshino, were walking towards me, basking in the warm sunshine.

I couldn't help but squint my eyes and smile——

Perhaps, this is what I truly desire and what I am willing to give everything to protect.

Peaceful and beautiful, the daily life of the girls I love, who can smile from the bottom of their hearts...

I raised my head and looked up at the clear blue sky.

The heavy story has come to an end, and tomorrow will be another new day worth looking forward to.

-

On the way back, I received emails from two enemies.

The first was from Antonius.

He sincerely congratulated me on my victory, but also expressed regret that he would soon be punished by the group's board of directors. The best outcome for him would be to be demoted and spend the rest of his life in a job that no one wanted.

Even though he was mentally prepared, he still felt deeply sad when he really faced it.

Maybe he and I will never have the chance to meet again in the future, but if we are lucky enough to meet again somewhere, and we are not in an opposing position like we are today, I hope he can drink and chat with me.

After reading this email, I was also quite moved.

Then, the sender is added to the blacklist.

You are a criminal and I am a high-ranking federal official. It is because I don't have good evidence that I couldn't send you to jail. And you really want to make friends with me?

That’s about it (sweating like soybeans).

The second one is black.

The man in black invited me to meet at the same place as last time, saying that he had something important to discuss.

After thinking about it, I agreed.

The biggest difference from Antonis is that the black suit still has the value of maintaining normal communication.

So I set off that night - because everyone was exhausted after a day of hard work, especially Xingye who had been imprisoned for several days. Therefore, things like the celebration banquet and review meeting were scheduled for the next day.

Of course I am very tired, but I still want to finish the final matters and put an end to the incident before I can rest.

As soon as I walked into the office, the man in black came up to me enthusiastically:

"Teacher! Your arrangement is so wonderful that it makes me excited!"

"...Oh? What did you see?"

The man in black and I sat down across the desk again. The man in black seemed to have sorted out his thoughts and said slowly:

"I originally thought that you didn't know that [Bina] was hiding in the desert north of Abydos."

Bina? The big snake? Haha, I really don't know.

"When you used yourself as bait to lure it out and forced it to fight together with the soldiers of Caesar PMC, I was disappointed and thought that there was a loophole in your plan. I didn't expect that this was also part of your plan!"

What kind of plan did I have that would cause me to deliberately provoke that kind of thing...

The man in black smiled and said, "Of course, I am not hopelessly stupid. When you confronted the director of Caesar PMC, I had a vague guess -

"Apophis, the serpent of darkness...as the serpent god symbolizing Lower Egypt, the army he led, and the nominal leader of that army, his persona can be temporarily regarded as a subordinate of Lower Egypt.

"At the same time, you also carried Kotori Yu Hoshino's pistol and the scepter.

"And when I saw you, under the gaze of the god Horus, holding up the scepter and pointing it at the director of Caesar PMC representing Lower Egypt, I completely understood the whole picture of your plan.

"Are you imitating the scene depicted in the Narmer Palette?

"Recreate the legends of history, and then use the personalities of your students to condense your own nobility - this is your great plan!"

Is this my great plan?

I remained silent and nodded pretending to be mysterious, but my heart was completely confused.

"But I still have a little doubt."

The man in black bowed his head humbly and asked me:

"The last student of Abydos will...become Horus...and will share with you the scepter as the symbol of his kingship...

"If you agree to Caesars Group's cooperation request, you can easily achieve similar results, right?

“There’s no need to deliberately bring out Bina. All we need to do is cooperate with Caesars Group and wait for the halo of Kotori Yuxingye to be destroyed.

"You can become the [Last Pharaoh - Cleopatra VII].

"Or rather, you have other options. I am not surprised... But why do you insist on..."

Having said this, Heifu stopped talking in embarrassment and looked at me.

I seemed to be able to feel the burning curiosity contained in the white light in his eye sockets.

I took a deep breath and said to the man in black seriously:

"This is also part of the plan."
