Survive in Azure Files

About an hour later.

"Ah, it's over..." Hao Mei put down her pen, flipped through her homework book with satisfaction, and said happily, "I can still do it if I want to!"

"It's hard work."

Hao Mei said in a confused tone: "Hard work? What are you talking about? The one who is really working hard is the teacher."

Then, the girl smiled and thanked me again: "Thanks to the teacher, I almost understand everything. If it were just me, I wouldn't be able to be so efficient..."

I shook my head. "Although I did play a small role, the main credit goes to you, Haomei, for studying hard."

I sincerely believe that a good learning attitude is the most important thing.

"...Huh~ So the teacher can praise people normally."

Alas, you, student, have completely misunderstood me?

Hao Mei added: "Because you always tease people, I didn't expect you to say such things. Since you can do this, why don't you do it more often..."

I fixed my gaze on him and said with a smile, "So what do you want to hear me say?"

When I asked this question, Hao Mei instantly blushed:

"So... that's what I meant! No, I didn't want to hear that... Ah, that's enough!"

Hao Mei closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and when she opened them again, her shame and anger had dissipated: "...Haah. Forget it, I'll let you go today. So that."

The girl smiled brightly and said, "You should help me occasionally in the future like you did today, teacher."

After saying goodbye to Haomei, I walked towards the station, smacking my lips, always feeling like something was missing today.

Then, my cell phone rang.

I looked at what was displayed on the screen and thought, this is finally complete.

Chapter 34: I am a super time management master (end)

In a collectible card game, if you only need one card from the same series to collect it all, you would be itching to do it, right?

I was sitting in the seat where I had been for almost the entire day, drinking a drink and boredly looking at the chat with Kazusa on my phone.

Kazusa: Hello, teacher. I am Kazusa Xingshan.

Kazusa: Ah…

Kazusa: You are not busy now, are you? If so, I hope you can reply to my message when you are free.

Kazusa: Then I will wait for the teacher’s reply.

Me: I’m here now.

Me: I also want to meet Kazusa, can we meet at the Thousand Layer Cafe? They have launched a new dessert.

Kazusa: ...Yeah, I understand.

Kazusa: Well, let’s contact each other later.

Anyway that's it.

After school, Kazusa, who is the quietest in the dessert club and always keeps silent, came to me for what? Was she trying new desserts together? Or did she want me to help her with her studies? Or was it something else?

As I waited, time passed by. When my drink was almost finished, Hesha finally appeared in front of me.

Hesha is still the same as before, with delicate light makeup on her cool and indifferent face.

The inside of her hair is highlighted pink, and she wears a black clavicle ring on her fair neck. She wears a black hooded jacket with the Trinity school emblem on the outside of her school uniform, and black stockings and sneakers on her lower body. Her outfit gives people a sense of fashion and youth.

My eyes moved uncontrollably to Hesha's legs, and my comment was: It feels so good!

Kazusa sat down opposite me and said, "Teacher, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. Hmm~ Well, it seems that you are freer than I thought."

"I gave up my job to meet Kazusa."

I originally wanted to go back to Xialai to work, but thanks to Hesha suddenly looking for me, I could only continue to slack off happily.

As for the backlog of work, just believe in your own wisdom tomorrow!

Hesha's body trembled, revealing an expression of disgust and surprise: "That's a bit disgusting, teacher...you don't talk to other girls like this, do you?"

"How could that be!" I refuted righteously, "I also know how to tell whom to talk to and what to say!"

I would only talk like this to young and pretty female students who wouldn't feel disgusted by me.

"...Hmm, I see." The smile on Kazusa's face was fleeting, "Let's get back to the topic. Actually, I'm not looking for you for anything important... I just want to ask you a favor. That's all..."

Hesa took out a stack of test papers from her schoolbag.

"Our school will have an exam soon... These are the mock exams I did, but there are still some parts that I don't understand, so..."

I took the test paper, looked at the difficulty and accuracy of the questions, then looked up at Hesa ​​and fell silent.

Isn’t this situation more miserable than beautiful?

"Wasa... Excuse me, but you're not really good at studying, are you?"

"Wow... Isn't that too direct? Some people might get hurt by this." After complaining, Kazusa continued, "But... after all, you are a teacher. It is necessary to correctly understand the students' learning situation."

Kazusa admitted frankly, "I'm really bad at studying. I'm not even in last place... but I'm in the bottom half? Probably around 70% to 80% overall...? That's why I asked you for help."

This is actually the case.

It’s a bit hard to imagine what level is lower than Hesha.

Did you miss the test unexpectedly? Or did you intentionally hand in a blank paper?

There can't be any idiots in a prestigious school like Trinity, right?

"I thought your grades would be in the upper middle range."

Hesha sighed softly: "I'm sorry, you guessed wrong. I haven't been interested in studying since junior high school. But thank you for saying that. Although I don't know if you are sincere, it also means that I don't look stupid...

"It may sound like I'm making excuses, but I'm really making progress. I've been doing some preparation and reviewing. But... at this point, even if I try to catch up, it's going to be a bit difficult..."

"It's great if you've made progress," I consoled him. "The purpose of learning is to improve yourself. As long as you've made progress compared to before, it proves that your efforts have not been in vain."

"...Is that so? Anyway, thank you for saying that, teacher. Let's not talk about this anymore. We'll run out of time if we continue. Anyway, let's start the make-up class. If you want to drink anything during the class, I'll buy it. After all, it was me who asked you to come here."

The cat ears on Hesha's head trembled slightly, and she seemed to be in a good mood.

I was surprised and said, "Didn't I make it clear on momotalk before? I also want to meet Kazusa."

"Teacher? Please don't say such weird things."

Hesa's expression darkened, and there was a dangerous gleam in her eyes as she stared at me.

“…Because I want to order some of the new products that the store just launched today and share them with you.”

"Eh? I see... Teacher, you said you wanted to see me because of this...?"

"That's right!"

I admitted it shamelessly, but I think it was pretty close to the truth.

"...No, that's still not good. Please. Otherwise I'll feel indebted and won't be able to concentrate. A teacher shouldn't do something that distracts students, right?"

Having said that, I had to regretfully give up the opportunity to treat this lovely female student.

Contrary to my common sense, in a place like Kivotos, treating students to a meal can really increase your favorability!

Hesha smiled triumphantly and said, "Okay, it's settled then. I'll treat you this time."

I perked up and extracted the key words: "Okay, then I'll treat you to the next date!"

Hesa's smile froze, and then she was shocked: "A, a date?! Wait, this is just a simple request for your help with tutoring, right? Teacher, what are you thinking about! "

"That's about right. After all, the target is Kazusa."

A pure and cool girl like Kazusa is the most fun to tease, especially when her calm expression is broken.

"I, I'm going to go order first. Please help me check this question and this range."

Hesa ran away in panic.

I nodded at the girl's back, quite satisfied with her reaction. Then, I concentrated on studying the questions that Kazusa didn't understand and thought about how to explain them to her.

After Kazusa calmed down and came back with desserts and drinks, the tutoring officially began.

The fact is indeed as Hesa ​​herself said. Hesa's learning attitude is quite serious and the progress is quite smooth. However, it is obvious that Hesa ​​has serious deficiencies in the basics.

If we want to go back and make up for this problem now, we will have to make several times the effort.

I can't help but feel a little sorry, and I don't know what happened to Kazusa in junior high school that delayed her studies. But now that she has the desire to study, it's not too late.

And Kazusa, whose doubts had been solved, was now staring at the wrong questions on the test paper and sighing:

"It's amazing... Is this the power of a teacher? When I was studying, I would obviously encounter things I didn't understand... But now looking back, those questions seem very simple. I actually got such questions wrong... Now I feel a little ridiculous."

"No, the most important thing is the result of your own hard work, Kazusa. I just played a small role."

"...Anyway, the teacher has helped me review the scope from beginning to end, so I should have no problem with the exam. This is all thanks to the teacher. Thank you for helping me with this."

"You're welcome. This is what I should do."

Hesha asked me curiously as I started to pack my belongings: "Is the teacher going back now? Does the teacher go back right after helping me?"

"How should I put it?" I pondered, "It depends on the situation. For example, if you and Sa want me to go out with you somewhere, I won't go back right away."

"...Please leave immediately!"

This reaction isn't cute enough.

Hesa suppressed her impatient expression and said quietly, "Teacher, listen to me. If you are attacked one day, it is totally what you deserve. You always say such things as if nothing has happened. What should you do if someone takes it seriously?"

I just smiled and shook my head, skipped over it, and said goodbye to Kazusa normally.

Traditional pulling requires knowing when to stop.

On the way back to Xialai, I felt that I had gained a lot. Within a day, I had made some progress in my relationships with the girls in the after-school dessert department.

…But why are they the ones who invite me?

I suddenly noticed.

Could it be that... I am actually being managed in reverse time?

Kivotos, what a horrible place.

Leave application note 2023.10.19

I wrote a 7000-word extra chapter for the full subscription today. It was too late. I wanted to write the main text, but I didn’t have much inspiration.

In addition, after staying up until 5 a.m. to write 8,000 words a day some time ago, my daily routine has become a bit messy. I have been staying up late and suffering from insomnia every day recently, and my body can't take it anymore, so I'm taking a day off to adjust.

By the way, the chat group number can be found in the comments section, and the method of joining the full subscription group can be found in the chat group announcement.

Chapter 35: Rin-chan's Reward

After I returned to Xialai, I received another momotalk message from Kazusa.

Kazusa: Teacher, did you get back safely?

Me: Yeah.

Kazusa: You replied so quickly...it looks like there should be no problem.

Kazusa: I’ve already gone back to my room and am now thinking about whether I should take a shower.

Hmm? What's the topic?

Just when I was confused, Hesha seemed to notice something was wrong.

Kazusa: Ah…

Kazusa: Why do I even bother to mention something like this...

Kazusa: Ugh——
