Survive in Azure Files

I feel like my reputation is about to suffer again.

Although judging from the results of my intensive self-search, at least up to now, there have been no strange rumors on the Internet; given Xiaokong's introverted and shy personality, I am sure that even if he really saw something he shouldn't have seen, he would just keep it to himself and not say anything.

But I think I need to take precautions and add an extra layer of insurance -

My eyes focused, and then I strode into the Angel 24 convenience store.

Xiao Kong was a salesperson after all. Even if he wanted to pretend not to see it, he could only swallow hard and muster up the courage to greet the perverted and suspicious person in front of him:

"Teacher, welcome..."

I could tell from her trembling voice that she must be very wary of me.

This won't do. Since Xiaokong lives in this convenience store on the first floor of Xialai, we see each other every day. How can neighbors be suspicious of each other?

I quickly put on a warm smile and greeted him:

"Good morning, Xiaokong. You come to work so early."

"Ah, um."

"You're amazing! I wish other students could be as diligent and hardworking as you."

Xiaokong, who was young, simple and kind, blushed immediately after hearing my praise, and at the same time, pricked up his ears curiously, listening to my sudden exclamation.

"To be honest, you also saw the students who just moved out of Xialai."

"Eh? Um... um... I saw it..."

I sighed repeatedly, looked sad, and began to complain:

"In fact, you must have figured it out. They are a group of bad students who are lazy and come here to take advantage of others, right?"

Ah Lu! In order to prevent you from becoming the villain with the bad reputation of "bullying Teacher Xia Lai" when we meet again, and in order to prevent my reputation from being ruined by your stupid behavior! Let me lend you a hand!

"Eh?! Ah, I, I did see that!"

No, obviously, Xiaokong didn't.

I quickly added: "Because the accommodation conditions in Xialai are excellent, they targeted me, who was weak and kind-hearted, and begged me to allow them to stay with them on the pretext of being homeless.

"Of course, as you know, I am a righteous teacher, and I am well aware of the principle of intimacy between men and women. I am a teacher with great moral integrity. Therefore, during the time they stayed here, I moved out to avoid suspicion. So I have hardly come here recently."

I think what I said is pretty close to the truth, except that I made some necessary artistic processing.

"Ah! So that's it!"

Xiaokong was suddenly enlightened, but then she felt sorry for me: "How could they do this?"

"Not only that, they also asked me for money to enjoy themselves..."

It is true that I have been paying for Convenience House 68’s meals recently.

I covered my face and sighed, "At this point, perhaps there is not much money left to be made from me, so they moved away from Xialai. I don't care about the loss of money, I just feel regretful that in the end I still failed to fulfill my duty as a teacher and let them reform..."

Xiaokong's eyes were filled with pity: "Teacher..."

"It's okay. It's a teacher's duty to reform bad students. Maybe some people who don't know the reason will think that I am doing something strange by bringing students back to Xialai... But it's okay. As long as I can help students, even if they are students who live in my house but don't pay rent and ask me for money all day long, even if there is no effect... no matter how bad my reputation becomes, I will do it."

Hearing this, Xiaokong lowered his head, feeling both moved and ashamed.

After all, Xiaokong is also one of the "people who don't understand why".

I know that, at least in Xiaokong's eyes, my reputation has improved, but in contrast, the reputation of Convenience House 68 has been greatly damaged.

Just some white lies, my relationship with Xiaokong has improved, and Alu's path to becoming a villain has also taken a step forward. This is a real win-win situation.

From now on, even if I bring my students in and out of Xialai in front of Xiaokong again, she will subconsciously tend to think of my behavior in a positive way because of her changed opinion of me at this moment.

Let's just leave it at this level for now.

Feeling a little guilty for fooling an innocent girl, I picked up a bento for breakfast and went back.

I still have a lot of work to do, the first of which is to go to the Federal Student Union to handle the relevant procedures for the Abydos Countermeasures Committee.

After that, the Strategy Committee will become the new student council of Abydos and gain corresponding rights and interests. At the same time, Hoshino will also become the new student council president of Abydos.

What expression will Shengya have when she finds out that her precognitive dream was deviant?

I am looking forward.

Chapter 7 Haha, she was anxious

Countermeasures Committee Activity Room.

It was early morning, and Xingye, who would usually hide somewhere and sleep soundly when he had nothing to do, was sitting upright in a chair today, contrary to his usual behavior. Although his eyes were slightly closed and he looked lazy, he was obviously not asleep.

The door of the activity room was opened as the girls' laughter and footsteps came closer and closer.

Qinxiang, who was walking in the front, was shocked after seeing the scene inside: "Senior Hoshino? Why are you here so early today?!"

Nomiya squeezed in in surprise: "What? Let me see?"

Hoshino opened his eyes lazily a little, and saw the rest of the countermeasures committee file in:

"Hmm~ What are you talking about? I should be the one asking why everyone came in such a timely manner today..."

Just as he was about to close his eyes to rest, Xingye suddenly realized something was wrong, frowned, and suddenly opened his eyes completely: "Wait? Why are you all carrying so many packages?"

"Ah, we just came back from Chalais."

Bai Zi put the package down and said calmly.

Xingye jumped up from his chair like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and said anxiously, "Wait, wait? What do you mean by coming back from Xialai? Didn't the sound of the helicopter just now mean that the teacher was coming over? And why did you go to Xialai so early in the morning?"

"We didn't go there early in the morning," Bai Zi tilted his head, "We went there last night and stayed there for one night."

"what?!"

Xingye looked around at everyone present blankly, his lips trembling: "You, you... have you all already been with the teacher?"

"Senior Hoshino, what are you thinking about?"

Ayane blushed and fiercely retorted: "It's not what you think! It's just that everyone was worried about Caesar Group's retaliation, so they temporarily went to Xialai to stay for a few days."

Why was it Ayane who got anxious first instead of the hot-tempered Serika?

Because the innocent classmate Serika is still confused about the content that Hoshino omitted in the second half.

“Oh…I see…”

Hoshino frowned and nodded thoughtfully: "That's true... That's not right! What's wrong with you, Nomiya? You don't live in Abydos!"

Nomiya looked puzzled and said as a matter of course: "How can I be absent from such a group activity?"

"I'm not here? I'm not here!"

Xingye waved his hands vigorously, tears welled up in his eyes, grief and anger—

How can an activity without the chairman be considered a group activity! It's just an excuse! Nomiya, you are a traitor with bad intentions! A traitor who secretly used the teacher's lap as a pillow! A traitor who ran away without telling his senior!

The chairman hasn’t even escaped yet!

"You actually did this while I was away, uncle, wow~ uncle, I'm really going to cry, okay?"

"...Senior Hoshino, are you okay? Do you want to get some sleep first?"

"Okay, I'm calm."

Xingye took a deep breath, and his expression changed instantly. He looked at everyone with a smile, and said in a soft and sweet tone: "By the way, didn't the teacher come today~"

Qinxiang shuddered: "...Or else, Senior Hoshino, you should just keep on being anxious. I'm a little scared when you do this."

"I'm not in a hurry!"

He even forgot to call himself uncle, which shows he is really anxious.

Anyway, after the commotion was over.

"The teacher went to the Federal Student Union today to help us with the paperwork."

Nomiya patiently explained, "The teacher said that he would help us deal with the committee and become a recognized new student council."

"Oh, that's great. I'm sorry, but I'll trouble you, teacher."

Hoshino narrowed his eyes, glanced at everyone present, and said meaningfully: "Oh, in this case, I really don't know how to thank the teacher."

Taking in the expressions on the faces of his juniors, Hoshino had already made up his mind.

-

The student union certification process was much more complicated than I had imagined.

The main reason is that the former student union had already been disbanded when it was established, and the Countermeasures Committee was not even an officially recognized society or club, so the corresponding procedures needed to be completed.

General Office, Defense Office, Finance Office, Human Resources Office...

I spent the entire morning running back and forth between the various departments, writing documents. Even though Rin-chan and Aoi-chan and I are already quite familiar with each other, and were given the green light on the speed at which documents were passed, and with the enthusiastic assistance of Ms. Ayumi from the mediation room, I still couldn't stand the huge number of documents and the necessary procedures.

The most annoying thing is that when I went to the defense room, Huaya was still sipping coffee leisurely.

You don't work! At your age, how can you still have time to drink coffee?

Seeing me coming, Huaya greeted me warmly and invited me to have coffee with her... But after I declined and explained my purpose, Huaya looked confused.

"Ah? Is this still under the jurisdiction of the Defense Office?"

Defense Chief Hanaya asked, causing my blood pressure to rise suddenly.

After finding the relevant regulations from the notice and showing them to Huaye, Huaye felt confused and embarrassed:

"Uh... I... I'm sorry, I'm not sure what to do... Let me call the people here right away! Don't worry, teacher, it will be solved soon!"

So, I quickly realized what it means that people are divided into groups.

Hua Ye got angry at her confused subordinates, and the subordinates got angry at the confused subordinates' subordinates...

No, what do you usually do in this defense room? Drink coffee?

Before the nesting dolls were fully deployed, I promptly invited Ayumi from the mediation room to guide Hanaya to complete the work, and then quickly left the defense room full of insects and rushed to the next location.

After struggling for most of the day, even missing my lunch time, I finally completed most of the procedures.

I was in Aoi's office, eating Aoi's snacks to fill my stomach, while contacting Hoshino on my phone and sending her an electronic version of the documents that needed to be signed by her as the chairman.

However, Hoshino made a request that I didn't expect -

Hoshino: Ah, teacher, uncle, I have a favor to ask. Can you leave the column for student council president blank for now?

Me: Huh? Why?

Hoshino: There are some special circumstances... There's nothing much to say, I'm just being willful.

Hoshino: I'll leave it to you~

Putting down my phone, I recalled Saint Ya’s prophecy:

In the future Abydos, there will be no student council president.

It turns out that this is how it was implemented.

If that’s the case… then I can be even more fearless.

After all, I exist in the future that Shengya predicted.

That’s why I will save Hoshino regardless of my own safety—I believe I will not die, and I also believe I can change Hoshino’s fate.

All predictions that are unfavorable to me are regarded as false, and all predictions that are favorable to me are taken as the golden rule.

This is my attitude towards so-called prophecy and destiny.

Chapter 8: Black History Get~

"Your point of view... is really... quite unique... and in your style."

This was Saint Ya's comment after she heard my attitude towards prophecy. I decided to accept it as a compliment.

In a garden where the tea party was held, Shengya and I sat on both sides of a small round table with tea and snacks, enjoying afternoon tea. The parasol above our heads blocked the bright afternoon sunlight and cast a shade.

Judging from Shengya’s skin, which is so white that it is almost transparent, I guess that among the students whose physical fitness is generally far superior to that of ordinary people, she may be an extremely rare weak person who is afraid of the sun.
