Survive in Azure Files

I mean, why is that? It can't be that you care about me, right? It's really confusing. I smiled smugly at the screen of my phone.

Apart from the fact that you can't survive more than a day without the Shiting Box, Kivotos is a really good place.

Kazusa: ... Never mind, teacher. I just think I should say something.

If you say it is, then it is. You can cheat the teacher, but don't cheat yourself. It doesn't matter if the teacher is cheated by you. At worst, you can find other students to play with. I hope that when you don't hear from the teacher anymore and worry about regretting it for the rest of your life, you don't hide under the quilt and secretly drop your little pearls.

Kazusa: Anyway, I am really grateful to the teacher for today!

Me: You’re welcome, it’s my job to do. As long as I can help Kazusa, I’ll be satisfied.

Kazusa: ...Really? You said something that could easily lead to misunderstanding again. I say, if you are attacked by someone someday, don't blame me for not warning you.

Is there a possibility, I mean possibility, that it has been attacked?

Although I have already killed the traitor Hoshino.

Kazusa: Well, see you later.

Compared to Kazusa, the messages from the rest of the dessert department were relatively normal. After I replied to all of them carefully, I continued working.

I am fascinated by the feeling of working overtime voluntarily until late at night and working myself to death without getting overtime pay.

Although the main reason was that I left my work during the day to have fun with the girls, was there nothing wrong with the Federal Student Union for assigning me so much work?

Me: Lin-chan, have you ever seen an office at 11 o'clock at night?

cold:?

Rin: Almost every day, what's wrong?

Rin: Who else is Rin-chan?

Sorry to bother you. I actually forgot that Rin is the real king of rolls.

But it's not a big problem and won't affect what I'm going to do next.

Me: [Picture]

Me: Rin-chan, I'm still working right now? I've already done so much!

Rin: Thank you for your hard work. I am still working too, so let’s work hard together.

Me: So, Rin-chan, won’t you give me a little reward for my hard work?

Rin: What?

Rin: Hmm... Teacher, what kind of reward do you want? If you want to apply for a bonus, just submit the relevant documents directly to Director Ogi.

Me: No, no.

Me: I just want the stockings that Rin-chan has worn.

cold:???

Rin: Wait? Let me check, did you make a typo? Or are you too tired from work and you are not in your right mind? Do you want to take a break first?

Me: How rude! I’m sober now.

Rin: It's rude to ask for something like that and call it a reward, right?! Terrible! I don't know what you were thinking! What kind of weird thing are you thinking of asking for?!

Me: Please, this is the request of my life!

Rin: So your life is completely ruined, right?! Give up, I will never agree to that!

Me: ...I see. Sorry, I was presumptuous to make such an outrageous request.

After this sentence was sent, it took a few minutes before a new reply was received.

Rin: I may have been a little harsh just now, and I apologize for that. However, please also reflect on your attitude. We are not in a relationship where you can make such a request.

It seems that Rin has calmed down a bit. Although there is still a hint of sarcasm in her tone, this is exactly the effect I want to achieve.

Me: I’m really sorry, I’ve been under a lot of work pressure lately... Every time I feel like I can’t hold on any longer, I always think of Rin-chan.

Me: After the sudden disappearance of the president, Rin-chan took on the responsibilities of acting as the president, worked hard for the people of Kivotos, and handled official business until late at night every day. I admire her from the bottom of my heart.

Me: It is precisely because I have Rin-chan as a role model and I want to be Rin-chan's supporter and share some of the pressure for Rin-chan who works so hard that I can grit my teeth and persevere.

Rin: First of all, I don’t think I have done anything great. I’m just doing my job well. Thank you for your kindness, but there is no need to compliment me like this. I won’t feel very happy.

Rin: Secondly... let's put that aside for now. The amount of work I assigned to Xia Lai wasn't that outrageous.

Rin: What does this have to do with you wanting me...?

Me: Have you heard of the idiom “seeing something reminds me of someone”?

cold:……

Rin: Oh.

Rin: Anyway, I won't agree to it no matter what.

Me: Can you take a picture of me?

Me: Please!

cold:……

Rin: [Picture]

Rin: Remember to delete it after reading it. This is just the first time, and it won't happen again.

Me: Rin-chan, I love you!

Rin: Don't say such frivolous things. I have to continue working, please go to bed early.

Rin: One more thing... Who is Rin-chan? !

Mysterious Collection Bonus!

This is the combination of the "praise before suppressing" theory and the "broken window" theory.

Of course, the most important prerequisite is to already have a certain degree of goodwill.

I admit that there was an element of gambling involved, but it was a successful bet.

Unprovoked harassment from strangers is disgusting, but if you make a good impression, give a plausible reason, and say a few nice words to make the other person happy, girls are actually very easy to deal with.

In this case, even if you make a request that is a bit excessive and tinged with strangeness, it will be regarded as an affirmation of their charm. Instead of decreasing their favorability, it will increase.

I added a new collection, Lin relieved her stress, and our relationship improved. It's a win-win situation!

This is what you should do when your pretty female boss assigns you too much work.

I carefully admired Lin's selfie for a while, and continued to work hard with a good mood. I said I would share some of Lin's pressure, but I can't just say it, otherwise I would be sorry for Lin's trust and reward to me, right?

Helping other students will naturally relieve pressure on the Federal Student Union, and its importance is even greater than paperwork!

However, I didn't expect that at this point, there would still be a student who would contact me on his own initiative, and it was someone who was completely unexpected to me.

Mika: ...

Weihua: Teacher, are you asleep?

It turned out to be Weihua who was cold to me.

Me: I haven’t slept yet, what’s wrong?

Mika: ...

Weihua: Teacher, you still owe me a favor, right?

Me: Yeah, sure, I’ll keep it in mind.

Mika: Yeah.

Weihua: Then, the teacher will repay me, right?

Me: Of course…why are you asking this suddenly?

Mika: ...Nothing.

Weihua: I will contact you again when needed.

Weihua: Please don’t forget your current commitment.

After saying these confusing words, there was no new message.

Because the scheduled work had not been completed yet and I had to go out on field work the next day, I stopped worrying about the matter and threw myself into the heavy paperwork.

Chapter 36: Is there someone more confident than me?

A Hundred Demons Night Parade Autonomous Region.

"You must be the famous teacher Xia Lai!"

The one who said this was a girl who was even smaller than Hoshino, but had a lower body part that was several orders of magnitude higher than Hoshino's, which he might never have in his entire life. She was wearing a red and white shrine maiden costume that exposed her armpits, high-heeled wooden clogs, a pair of round animal ears on her head, and a bun on her head.

She was waiting at the agreed place, and when she saw me from afar, she trotted up to me with a full-of-energy smile - God knows how she could run in those shoes, and even seemed to be running very fast.

刡And the girl’s words always give me an inexplicable sense of awkwardness. I don’t know if it’s an illusion, as if some forgotten horrible memory is being recalled.

After seeing me nod, the girl smiled even more enthusiastically, and shook my hand with both of hers in a familiar manner:

"Hello, teacher~ I am the cute and smart mascot of the training department. I have an appointment with you, Yumi Feng. Please take care of me since it's our first meeting!"

Such a lively and outgoing personality, just like a child who has not grown up. Then again, how come some people call themselves mascots?

Feng continued to talk non-stop: "And then, regarding this commission, it turned out that I couldn't explain it clearly in the email, so I have to repeat it again in person!

"That is, because the Hundred Demons Night Parade United Academy is holding a [Club Activity Introduction Competition], I want to shoot a video that can win the competition, but I can't shoot it the way I imagined...

"Just at this time! It just so happened that after watching the popular Beetle Queen, I accidentally switched to a news program that was talking about Xia Lai.

"Mysterious and aloof, he will not easily accept ordinary commissions, but once he accepts them, he will definitely do whatever it takes to complete them. The success rate of commissions is as high as 100% for this Yorozuya."

Are you talking about Xia Lai?

It seems like something is wrong, yet it seems like nothing is wrong.

I think this rumor is a bit too far-fetched. As for the 100% success rate, although it is true, it is only because I have only accepted a few commissions.

In order to avoid disappointing Feng, I thought I should first tell her that the rumor was not true.

However, at this time, Feng added: "There is also a reliable person in charge who is both gentle and handsome, mature, steady, serious and responsible, and worthy of students' trust!"

I looked at Feng's innocent face, swallowed the words I had prepared, and nodded without changing my expression:

"That's right, Xia Lai is like this, just leave it to me."

As a handsome teacher, I must not let my students down!

Feng's eyes sparkled, and he jumped up from the ground, cheering: "Great~ I knew it would be okay to ask the teacher~"

This look of unreserved trust in me aroused my sense of shame, and I coughed softly:

"Well. I can't say too much for now. I can only say that I will do my best. I will do my best."

Feng didn't care: "As long as I have the teacher's help, I will be able to complete the filming smoothly and win the championship in one fell swoop!"

Hearing this, I was stunned for a moment: "...Your goal is to win the championship?"

The commission I received was to help shoot a successful promotional video, but I didn't hear that it had to be successful enough to surpass all the other participating clubs in the One Hundred Demons Night Parade.

Feng put his hands on his hips and said in a matter-of-fact tone: "Of course! No matter what the form is, as long as it's a competition, you can't lose! This world is now in the Warring States Period of competition!"

At this point, Feng's expression became a little unhappy: "In the previous [One Hundred Demons Night Parade: Karuta's Strongest Decisive Battle], the Onmyoji Club took away the first place. I will definitely not let them succeed this time!"

If I remember correctly, according to the information I collected on the Internet, the Onmyoji Club should be the club that is currently taking over the responsibilities of the Hyakki Yagyo Student Union.

It seems that there is a very famous character in it, who is regarded as a national idol in the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons. I wonder what kind of style he has.

If it was to compete with Onmyoji, it would have been completely defeated in terms of publicity and popularity.

Even as I thought about this, I still didn’t feel comfortable pouring cold water on Feng.

"Besides, the training club is often said to be a "weird group"... If we can film a video of them winning the competition, I think we can dispel this misunderstanding!"

I couldn't help but nod, and my eyes softened when I looked at Feng. I felt that her reason for clearing the name of her club was more reasonable than simply out of a desire to win, and it was more worthy of my best efforts to help her.

However, just as I was about to show respect to Feng, Feng spoke again with a look of longing on his face:

"And if you win the prize money, you can use it to buy the legendary golden Hercules Hercules beetle..."
