Survive in Azure Files

The simple-minded Xiao Kong obviously believed it and nodded in agreement, while scanning the barcode of the product.

I paid the bill but had no intention of leaving. Instead, I continued, "Xiaokong, you're using a flip phone, so you can't use MomoTalk, right?"

"……Um."

"This is difficult," I said with an embarrassed expression, "I was thinking, if I need you to run errands for me and bring my lunch box up, it would be inconvenient to contact you without MomoTalk."

Xiaokong said in embarrassment: "Well... even if I have momotalk, I can't leave my post without permission..."

"Then we'll use a small drone to deliver it, but I still need your help with the checkout, Xiaokong. And in order to know if it's your class, we still need a way to contact you."

I deliberately frowned, pondered for a moment, and then relaxed my brows as if I suddenly remembered something:

"Oh, by the way, I think I still have an unused smartphone, which can run MomoTalk or other common apps on the market. If you don't mind, could you please take it and help me out occasionally when I'm inconvenienced? As a reward, I'll pay for all the phone bills."

Xiao Kong panicked and stammered, "How can this be..."

"Please, please, just help me!"

I begged for a long time before Xiaokong reluctantly agreed, and my goal was achieved -

Without hurting the student's self-esteem, use an appropriate excuse to give her a large-screen smart phone to replace her old and eye-damaging flip phone.

Because I often see Xiaokong lying on the counter, playing with his mobile phone out of boredom, I have long been concerned about this and figured out this simple strategy.

I usually live frugally and save money, and the salary I earn is used for such proper purposes.

After I left with great satisfaction, Xiaokong, who had been looking forward to using his new phone for a long time, finally realized a problem...

Even a flip phone that is so old that even MomoTalk cannot be installed can still be used to make calls.

Chapter 42 Of course I came here specially to see you

Of the three most powerful universities in Kivotos, if we talk about school spirit, there is no doubt that Gehenna will be ranked last.

Most of the students studying in this academy are of casual nature, have distinct personalities, and are unwilling to be bound by school rules and regulations. The number of problem children is so large that they are well-known throughout Kivotos.

But in the vast Gehenna, there are exceptions.

The most typical one is the Discipline Committee which is responsible for maintaining the school spirit and discipline.

In the Disciplinary Committee, the administrative officer Ayako Amane, whose status is second only to the chairman, Hina Sorasaki, is an outstanding exception.

Ako, who never tolerates any violation of school rules, has a rigorous and responsible attitude towards work. She has always been diligent in assisting Hina, and except for occasionally making stupid mistakes when she gets carried away, she has never been careless at all.

Until recently.

For some reason, when working, Yazi would occasionally lose focus. Her eyes were blurry and erratic, as if she was thinking about something, and it was obvious enough that anyone could see that something was wrong.

Although it only happens when dealing with boring documents, it is normal for ordinary discipline committee members to be absent, but if the one who is absent is Yazi, it seems very abnormal.

Hina glanced at Ako, who was daydreaming again early in the morning, sighed softly, and tapped the wooden table with her fingers:

"Yako. Wake up."

“Ah!” Ako came back to her senses and apologized to Hina in panic and guilt, “I’m sorry, Chairman, I actually…”

Yazi felt extremely ashamed of the mistakes that should not have happened in her work.

"It's ok."

Unlike her reputation on the battlefield that frightened countless people, the real Hina is actually a very reasonable girl:

"Ya Zi, I won't ask you what happened. Anyway, I know you're working hard, but if you're really not in good shape temporarily, don't force yourself. It's okay to take a few days off to rest."

Yazi was immediately filled with gratitude: "Thank you for your concern, Chairman! But I'm totally fine! Please don't worry!"

“…I see. I understand.”

Since Ako said so, Hina didn't ask any more questions. After all, Ako has always been weird.

After a while, Ako left the chairman's office temporarily on the pretext of going to the restroom.

As soon as she left the office, the polite smile that Ayako had been trying to maintain in order not to worry the chairman disappeared in an instant, replaced by a strong sense of dissatisfaction.

In the empty corridor, Yazi walked quickly with an embarrassed look on her face, and kept blaming a guy who had no gentlemanly manners in her heart - it was all that guy's fault, because he made her look stupid in front of the chairman!

And! More importantly! After that day! He never took the initiative to ask her out again!

What do you take her for?

Yazi was indignant about this, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that the man was hateful, abominable, and shameful. If you don't want to see him, then don't see him again!

However, as she turned a corner.

"Don't come over here! Stay away from me!"

A female voice sounded shy and angry, which was very familiar to Ako. Ako quickly realized that it was Iori's voice.

This tone... could it be that... the guys who are against the Discipline Committee have suddenly launched an enemy attack? !

Ako's eyes fixed, and she quickly walked around the corner. What she saw next was Iori, who was extremely vigilant and was confronting an adult male who Ako could recognize even if he turned into ashes, several meters away in the middle of the corridor.

And Yazi's hurried footsteps have attracted the attention of both of them.

"...What's going on with you guys?" Yazi couldn't help but frown and asked.

-

"Hey, Azi, good morning~"

Although I didn't expect Yazi to suddenly appear at this time, I still greeted her warmly.

"Ako-chan! You came just in time!"

Iori, on the other hand, was saved. He called out his friend's name with a tone of relief and ran to Ayako's side: "I still have patrol work to do! I'll leave this to you!"

"what?"

Iori glared at me fiercely again after leaving the problem to my friend, but what he saw was my warm smile. Iori blushed slightly and then ran away quickly.

I stroked my chin and felt that Iori was so innocent and cute that he was too cute.

Wasn't it just that after a touching reunion after a long separation, I was stopped by Iori and questioned about what I was doing in the Disciplinary Committee? I asked her in a sad and angry tone whether she was going to humiliate me again, while leaning down and pretending to take off her boots?

Are you really that scared? I'm not a bad person. Besides, even if I succeed, I won't necessarily lick you for a long time. Gehenna's hospitality is really...

I secretly sighed that stereotypes were really harmful to people, and then looked at Yazi who was blushing and staring at me angrily. I felt confused and wondered how I had offended her again.

But no problem.

I strode forward, looking down at Yazi, and asked casually, "Is there any hidden place nearby?"

Hearing this, Yazi blushed even more and glared at me.

After a while.

In a corner where there is no surveillance and no one usually passes by, I let go of my hand contentedly, still savoring the sweetness in my mouth.

Yazi wiped his mouth and said angrily, "What on earth are you doing here?"

"Of course I came here specially to see you."

I said this without changing my expression. But I just said the same thing to Iori.

Yazi's tone softened immediately, although she still had some stubbornness in her voice: "I don't believe your lies. Besides, even if it's true, why did you come to me to do this? It's really despicable."

I couldn't help but complain: "But weren't you very enthusiastic just now?"

Obviously, I was the truly passive party, and was just forced to satisfy Yazi's desire to be the passive party.

"shut up!"

Ako tried to glare at me fiercely, but due to the plethora of other emotions contained in her eyes, combined with what she said, I could only assume that she hoped to continue to be gagged by me.

It's a pity that I really have no right to take the initiative in this relationship.

Anyway, I happily educated my dog ​​for a while until Yazi finally expressed his resistance clearly:

"That's enough! Chairman Hinata is still waiting for me to come back!"

I said goodbye to Ayako with regret, and looked at her back as she seemed to be heading towards the bathroom. After a little thought, I made a happy decision -

"Hina, good morning."

While Ako was away, I went to the chairman's office and said hello to Hina, whom I hadn't seen for many days.

Hinata, who was busy with her heavy workload, looked up and asked in confusion:

"...Teacher? Why are you here?"

Shamelessly, I used the same rhetoric for the third time: "Of course I came here specially to see you!"

However, these words didn't seem to have a very good effect on Hinata.

Hinata's face darkened immediately, and she stared at me in silence for a few seconds, which made me a little nervous. Then she lowered her head and continued to process the documents while saying indifferently:

"Teacher, please don't play such a joke on me. I still have a lot of work to deal with. If you have nothing to do with me, please forgive me for not seeing you off."

"I'm sorry... I really just wanted to come and see you. Since you're busy, I won't bother you."

Actually, what I said to Hina was indeed true.

I came to the chairman's office just to see how Hina was doing, and seeing that she was still the same, I felt relieved.

After leaving the office, I wandered alone in the Discipline Committee headquarters building until I finally found the primary target of the Discipline Committee today.

"Hey, Chinatsu," I walked over to the girl who was carrying a meter-high mountain of paper, "It looks heavy, do you want my help?"

"Teacher?!"

Chinatsu Hinomiya looked at me in confusion: "Why are you here...!"

"Of course I came specially to see you."

I said this with all my heart.

Although I said the same thing to the chairman of the Discipline Committee and three major cadres within dozens of minutes, I secretly felt a sense of accomplishment and felt that there was nothing wrong with my behavior.

I have indeed come here specially to meet the lovely members of the Discipline Committee!

I have a clear conscience!

Chapter 43: Innocent Chinatsu

"Come for me...?"

Facing the girl's surprise and confusion, I pressed a few times on the phone screen and showed her the content:

"Because I received your contact last night, I thought I'd take some time to come over and meet you and say hello."

I withdrew my hand, glanced at the chat history from last night, and couldn't help but recall the scene at that time.

That was when I had just finished a sumptuous dinner and ordered two supermarket lunch boxes. I was leaning back on the sofa, listening to Alona telling me about the contents of a commission that had been screened, when my cell phone rang.

I originally thought that it was just like usual, that a student wanted to chat with me, but when I opened momotalk, I found that I had received a new friend request.

The person from the Gehenna Discipline Committee who is the first person I met but with whom I have the least interaction now is Chinatsu Hinomiya.

Not long after the application was approved, Chinatsu took the initiative to send the first message.

Chinatsu: Long time no see. I'm Chinatsu. Do you remember me?

Me: Of course I remember. What can I do for you?

Chinatsu: That's good. There's nothing special about it, I just wanted to tell you that I was in a hurry the last few times and didn't greet you properly.

Indeed, although we met again in the Abydos Autonomous Region and the Abydos Desert, I never had the opportunity to communicate with Chinatsu. And I regretfully did not run into her during my two previous visits to the Discipline Committee.

Chinatsu: I would be happy if there is a chance for us to say hello again in the future.

Chinatsu: ~Chinatsu~

It ended in a cute way that didn't quite match the impression I had.

Since it is the student's wish, it is so easy to realize, and I happen to be free, so of course I will satisfy her wish.

This is the first reason why I came to the Discipline Committee early this morning. The second reason is that I wanted to meet Hina, Ako, Iori and the others.

As for why I didn't notify other students in advance, nor did I ask other students where Chinatsu was, but chose to wander around and hope for the best to bump into her...
