Survive in Azure Files

I hurriedly urged, "So, A'Lu, tell me quickly, what did you forget? It would be terrible if someone picked it up!"

In fact, not to mention that no outsiders have ever been to the Xialai Living Area, even if something is really lost, surveillance cameras are installed in the public areas of the Xialai Living Area, so it can basically be recovered.

But considering Alu's current panic situation, it seems that she won't be able to think of these things for a while.

So under my urging, A-Lu quickly explained the situation hesitantly:

“Yes… Actually it’s a student ID. I can go back to school and get a new one… Ah! It’s not my student ID! Yes, yes… Oh, it’s Mutsuki’s! I came back to get it for her! Mutsuki is so careless, hahaha…”

He actually wants to pass the blame to his childhood sweetheart!

It's okay to lie, but you told lies that can be easily exposed. Your face was blushing and your heart was beating so obviously, and your speech was intermittent. Are you really afraid that others won't see through it?

I couldn't help but feel sad and I didn't know who A-Lu learned this from.

However, this also aroused my curiosity...

Ah Lu was so arrogant, most likely because she was trying to save face. So what secrets did her student ID have? Could it be that Ah Lu was very different from when she first entered school?

I imagined this and pretended to believe A-Lu: "So that's how it is. Mutsuki is really careless."

"That's right."

Alu breathed a sigh of relief, her expression softened, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly, as if she was proud of her own wit; but soon her eyebrows drooped again, as if she felt guilty for discrediting Mutsuki.

This is a bit too easy to understand, Lu.

If only love were that simple... Well, it doesn't seem that difficult...

We have arrived at the guest room where A-Lu stayed some time ago. After I opened the door, A-Lu rushed in, opened the drawer of the bedside table, and saw the student ID card neatly placed inside, and immediately showed a relieved expression.

However, when Alu was about to reach out to take it, a big hand snatched the student ID from behind her.

I looked at the photo on my student ID card and compared it to the current A-Lu. I felt like laughing for some reason.

In the photo, Alu still has short hair with her bangs neatly fixed with a hairpin. She also wears a pair of glasses and has an innocent expression. At first glance, she looks like a good and well-behaved child like Hifumi.

Suddenly I remembered that Mutsuki seemed to have a special liking for glasses.

I asked jokingly to Lu, who looked as if she had been struck by lightning:

"Is this photo of Mutsuki?"

Ah Lu gritted her teeth and said, "It's Mutsuki."

"is it?"

"Yes. At that time... Mutsuki still wore glasses."

Looking at A-Lu who was still stubborn, I couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Ah Lu trembled slightly, and said in a low voice: "Well, well... so... can you give it back to me..."

Then I read out loud the information on my student ID card:

"Name: Lu Bamo Alu, birthday: March 3th... Hmm? I got some good information."

"Ah...ah..."

A'lu was trembling all over, her face flushed with shame, tears quickly filled her eyes, and she was about to cry.

...Oops, I think I went too far.

I quickly returned her student ID card to her and said, "I'm sorry, A-Lu, you're so cute that I couldn't help myself. I shouldn't have lied to you and said I had hired a part-time worker, and I shouldn't have taken your things without permission. It's my fault, please forgive me."

Ah Lu sniffed, carefully put the student ID card back into her wallet, and said in a calm but slightly aggrieved tone:

"It's okay, Sensei. I just want you to see my handsome and reliable side as the president of Convenience House 68 and an excellent outlaw..."

This side is something you rarely see.

"I think Lu is good no matter what."

I thought about what I could say to Alu: "Even the most feared villains have a soft spot in their hearts. Sometimes... well, Alu occasionally shows a different side, and personally, I think that makes him even more handsome."

Ah Lu looked expectant: "Is that so?"

"Of course, I like Alu's very much!"

This is true. Although Alu is sometimes a headache, this is also her characteristic. Combined with her inherent advantages, she becomes the unique Lu Bamo Alu.

After learning to understand others, you will naturally discover the lovable qualities in everyone.

Looking at A-Lu again, she was strong-willed and returned to her normal self after hearing my praise:

"Hehe~ I see. As expected of our company's management consultant, you've provided valuable insights into the president's image. However, what you said was too frivolous. I think you should wait until the relationship is gradually improved before saying such things. Let's start at a place like a restaurant overlooking the night view..."

The girl closed her eyes and began to daydream, with a faint blush still remaining on her cheeks.

"I understand! Then let's go, I'll treat you to a meal as an apology!"

"Eh? Wait a minute?"

After some effort, they finally found a restaurant that met Alu's expectations and had available seats.

Unfortunately, after dinner, just as I was about to say something to Alu that could only be said after our relationship had progressed, Alu ran away in a panic.

It seems that the president still has a long way to go before she can achieve her dream of maturity.

Chapter 12: Gambling with Ako

the next morning.

The sky is clear and cloudless, and the weather is comfortable and pleasant. A good day like this is perfect for staying indoors and fishing.

The work in Abydos has come to an end, and I have not yet received a new commission. I have been able to work in Xialai for the first time in a long time. It only takes a few minutes to walk from the living area to the office area, which is just like working from home.

The amount of paper work left at the moment is not that much, and it can be completed by spending a little time doing it casually. It is really a wonderful day off.

In order to increase the sense of anticipation, I also specifically asked Alona to hide the candidates for today's duty.

Anyway, based on the current list of Xialai members, all of them are students with whom I have a good relationship. No matter who comes, I can have a pleasant day.

So the happy day that I was looking forward to ended the moment the monitor walked in.

I saw the identity of the visitor and couldn't help asking:

"Why are you the student on duty today?"

"You think I want to come over?"

Tian Yu Yazi stared at me with dead fish eyes, with reluctance written all over her face:

"Gu——you, what are you still pretending for? It was you who unilaterally notified me to come on duty. If Chairman Hina hadn't allowed it, I wouldn't have come to Xialai to help you with your work."

Alona! What kind of shift did you arrange? How could Yazi, who just joined Xialai two days ago, jump the queue today?

This must be a shady operation, definitely a shady deal, a revenge for me cutting the dessert portion.

The long-awaited student on duty was actually the one who was unilaterally against me, but I had no choice but to get along with him peacefully for the time being. This is not...

Is it more exciting?

I smiled warmly, opened my arms, and walked quickly forward:

"Sister Yazi, I haven't seen you for a few days. I miss you so much. Don't look so sad. Let's spend some time together today!"

Yazi took a half step back and looked at me warily: "What do you want to do! Why are you calling me so affectionate? Do we know each other well? Pervert, stay away from me!"

“Hey, don’t be so cold. Don’t we have a friendly and mutually beneficial cooperative relationship? Whether it’s the relationship between Hina and me or the relationship between you and Hina, we all rely on each other’s assistance!”

I reached out my hand and touched the bell on Yazi's chest, shaking it skillfully, and suddenly a crisp ding sound was heard.

"You!" Yazi was furious and slapped my hand away. "I wanted to say this last time! You are harassing me by your position!"

"What?" I was shocked and subconsciously rang Yazi's bell. "I thought you wore this just to be shaken for fun."

"That's right! And why did you come here?!"

"Then why didn't you tell me last time?"

I righteously accused him, "If you had told me earlier, wouldn't I have stopped harassing you?"

Yazi gritted her teeth and said, "You pervert, finally admit that your behavior is harassment! Last time, I was distracted by you and didn't have time to say it!"

"I didn't admit it. I just thought it was a friendly interaction, a symbol of the sincere friendship between you and me."

"Who is friendly with you?"

Hearing these angry words, I couldn't help but burst out laughing.

So, Tianyu Yazi is really interesting!

It's like a little puppy whose teeth haven't grown yet. It whimpers and barks at people but can't cause any real harm. If you play with it, it won't look scary at all, but will look cute instead.

I moved my gaze to below the bell, swept across the fair and smooth sides, and decided to correct my previous words - not small at all, it's really very vulgar, Yazi.

When my laughter died down, Yazi became even angrier, her chest heaving violently: "Besides, I went back and thought about it carefully. Why on earth should I help you get along well with the chairman? Your reason at the time was clearly a lie. What does your relationship with the chairman have to do with my relationship with the chairman!"

You are just a nobody, but you are quite tongue-twisting when it comes to speaking.

Seeing my surprised expression, Ako became even more excited: "As expected, you must have some plan against Chairman Hina, right? Oh, give up, I won't help you. And with Lord Hina's wisdom, he will never be deceived by a despicable villain like you!"

Seeing Yazi's determined expression, I smiled:

"If you think so, then so be it. Well, enough time has been lost, let's get to work."

It's not impossible to fool Yazi again, but it's no fun to use the same trick twice. Besides, Yazi must be extremely wary of me now. If I don't admit or deny her speculation, and don't use any rhetoric, and just move on to the next topic, all of Yazi's preparations will be wasted.

Sure enough, Yazi couldn't help but ask:

"...Wait a minute, don't you have anything to say?"

"What? That's just your one-sided statement. I don't have any bad intentions towards Hina. Since you have such concerns, then forget about the previous proposal."

"Uh, ah, oh."

Yazi was stunned by what she heard, and began to doubt her previous guess.

Could it be that she was overthinking it? Did the teacher really just want to work with her for a win-win situation? Did he have no ill intentions towards Chairman Hinai?

With such hesitation, Yazi sat down opposite me.

I smiled at Ako and said, "Sister Ako, as a political officer of the Discipline Committee, you must be good at clerical work, right? After all, you are Hinata's most trusted deputy."

"Of course~"

Ako said proudly, and it was unclear whether she was proud of being good at clerical work or being the one Hinata trusted the most, or maybe both.

It doesn’t matter. Since Yazi is so confident, that’s enough.

I praised him, "You're amazing! In that case, I'll leave these to you."

As I said that, I pushed almost all the documents to Yazi, leaving only a few for myself.

I think this distribution is fair and reasonable, but obviously some people don't think so.

"Hey! What's this assignment? Are you calling me here to treat me as a laborer?"

Yazi slammed the table and stood up: "The duty students only need to assist you, the teacher, to complete your work, that's enough!"

"As the saying goes, those who are capable should do more work. The most important thing is, you see, I am a wounded soldier."

I pointed to my neck brace.

When Yazi looked over, she blinked and asked in confusion, "Isn't this a decoration?"

Who would use this kind of decoration? I wanted to protest loudly, but when I saw Ayako's collar, I swallowed the words that were about to come out of my mouth.

"I don't care! Anyway, I don't agree with such an unreasonable distribution method!"

The damn Yazi actually refused to accept the master's exploitation and could only continue to deceive.

Just as I was about to say something, Yazi changed her mind.

"Unless..." The mean government official girl smiled maliciously, "Let's make a bet, teacher?"

"I finally understand your true purpose, teacher."
