"Hmm... a bad ending, maybe, but... Alice, let's get started!"
Yuka closed her eyes, then opened them again and looked at Alice, who looked nervous, with a subtle smile on her lips.
...
"No way, Yuuka-chan, even if the gaming club has enough people now, it's only for this semester?"
Back to the time when the teacher went to see Yuka, as soon as he walked in, he saw Yuka walking back and forth in the room with a sad face. When she saw the teacher coming, her deep blue eyes glowed, and then she took the teacher's hand and sat on the sofa next to them to explain what happened yesterday.
"Um~ I'm sorry, teacher. They had the teacher's company and their own calculations, so everything went perfectly. However, yesterday the president of the student union suddenly announced a new club policy with other responsible departments. The game club... that student is Alice, right? I'm afraid that even if she really lives in the game club, it will only be for this semester."
At this moment, Yuka lowered her head and told the teacher these problems like a child who had made a mistake.
"It's okay. I know Yuuka-chan has tried her best."
"teacher?"
Feeling the warmth from the teacher's hands, Youxiang slowly raised her head and looked at the teacher's gentle smile. Youxiang felt her nose a little sour.
"I know~ Youxiang has been trying hard to communicate since yesterday. Look, your black circles have appeared, right?"
"Huh?! Really?!"
When Yuka heard the teacher say that she had dark circles under her eyes, she nervously touched the corners of her eyes with both hands. After all, she didn't want the teacher to see her unlovable side.
"Hey, I was just kidding. Are you feeling better now?"
Looking at Yuxiang's cute actions, Zhang Xinyuan felt like his heart was about to melt.
"Oh! Really, teacher, I'm not going to pay attention to you!"
Hearing that the teacher was actually teasing her, Yuka's face slowly turned red, but after taking a deep breath, that confident smile returned.
"Well, thank you, teacher. But what should we do next? Now we need them to show good results, maybe we can succeed..."
Yuuka asked the teacher with a confused expression.
"Well, we can't rush this kind of thing. They still have plenty of time now. So, as a teacher who believes in students, of course I hope that they can find a solution."
Zhang Xinyuan stood up and pulled Youxiang to go to the game club.
"So, let's just do it at a normal pace now! Only students can create the potential for students. Instead of getting stuck here, why not take a step forward!"
...
Having said that, however, as a teacher who has only been in office for a month, I still want to develop my teaching ability more.
Sitting on the sofa with Yuzu and Xiaolu, watching the confrontation between Yuka and Alice, Zhang Xinyuan knew that it was a good idea to be a spectator when it came to things between students!
By the way, are there any so-called adults in this place? I've been here for so long, but I haven't seen anything that makes students uncomfortable. I've heard that there's a group called Caesar that takes in some bad students, and some students who dropped out... Well, maybe next time I have a chance, I'll go and find out for myself.
While Zhang Xinyuan was thinking, the inquiries from the side had already entered the daytime stage.
"Alice, were you forced to join the game club? If so, wink."
"Hey, hey, hey! How can you ask others questions like that? And don't pretend to speak quietly! I can hear you even if you speak quietly here!"
"Ahem, Alice, are you sure you are a student of our school?"
"Hey, hey! That's so hurtful! Look! This is the proof that Alice is our student!"
"Momoi! Stop interrupting me! Besides, are you sure I'm the woman who's easy to deceive? I know exactly what you asked those people to do, okay?"
Yuuka angrily threw Momoi to the teacher, and then left herself and Alice alone.
"Ah woo hoo~"
Ah~ Alice is so nervous that she makes a cute sound.
"Okay, Alice, now we are the only ones left. Let me ask you again, what brought you to the Game Club?"
"Hmm~ Alice was still adapting to the environment, and when she came to her senses, she was brought here... Hmm~ No..."
Alice clenched her little hands, and sweat kept flowing down her forehead.
"Yes...I knew about the existence of the game club because I wanted to play Baldur's Gate..."
"Hey~~Is that so? Then what position are you in charge of in the game department now?"
"Tanks and light ADCs... No, they're programmers."
"Isn't he a programmer..."
When Yuka heard that Alice was working as a programmer, she immediately became interested.
"Since you are a programmer, then Alice, you must be working very hard. Although I don't understand it, I heard that programmers waste a lot of hair."
"Yeah! Programmers are really amazing! Alice studied almost non-stop to research the game, and she even felt unconscious from time to time, but when she saw the program running, it felt so worth it!"
"Please take good care of yourself!"
Hearing Alice's outrageous behavior, Yuuka subconsciously expressed her concern.
"Hey! No...it's okay. If Alice sleeps in the inn or pays the old man at the fountain, she and her companions will be resurrected together! Then we can go fight!"
"...This is impossible."
Alice looked puzzled when Yuuka said that it was impossible.
"Eh? Yuuka has never played League of Legends or Final Fantasy? They are truly masterpieces!"
After saying that, Alice smiled brightly.
"Eh?"
At this time, Yuka was already in doubt, but the two people behind her immediately lost their color, and then cried and hugged the teacher and confided: "Teacher! Ah! Everything is over! Ah!"
"Calm down! Momoi! Midori! Yuzu! Yuka-chan hasn't made the official announcement yet!"
Seeing the three of them slumped in their bodies with expressions of despair, Zhang Xinyuan looked towards Youxiang anxiously.
Yuka-chan! Stop playing! If you keep playing, their hearts won't be able to bear it!
"Yeah, I see. I think I understand."
Yuuka closed her eyes, and when she looked at Alice again, her eyes had turned into a gentle smile.
"I can feel the joy that Alice has with you. I have fully experienced the joy of playing games and taking risks with friends in games."
Hearing Yuka's words, everyone immediately looked at her with hope.
"Yuuka! Could it be possible!"
"Well, since your number has reached the club's required number of members, the plan to disband the club this semester is canceled."
As soon as the words fell, Tao Jing jumped up immediately.
"Did you all hear that? Success! We finally don't have to waste our troops! We have finally protected Yuzu's only place! Yuzu! You don't have to worry anymore!"
"Um...thank you...everyone!"
In that pure and happy mood, everyone has been working hard for the only place where they exist. At this time, Yuzu had tears in her eyes. She felt everyone's feelings for her. Looking at everyone's excited eyes, Yuzu also showed a happy smile.
"But, this is only for this semester, okay?"
"Eh?"
The three people who were hugging Yuzu and spinning around were stunned when they heard Yuka's voice, and the happy atmosphere just now came to an abrupt end.
...
"It's a scam! It's definitely a scam!"
After Yuuka left, Taoi said indignantly.
"Well... Sister, after all, this is a policy that was hastily announced yesterday. We can't change what has become a fact. But seven days have passed, and we still have plenty of time... But in the end, there is still a risk of abolishing the department."
Looking at Xiaolu who was more cheerful, she was also comforting her sister.
"Well, if I hadn't received the latest news, otherwise..."
Thinking about everyone's efforts for her and making everyone feel disappointed because she didn't receive any news, Yuzu closed her eyes and apologized to everyone in a self-abased manner.
"Yuzu, this is none of your business, okay? After all, it happened suddenly, and Momoi could have received the news."
Zhang Xinyuan hugged Yuzi and stroked her head to comfort her.
"Oh! Sorry! I was so absorbed in playing games at that time that I filtered out the information..."
Looking at Tao Jing's embarrassed expression, Zhang Xinyuan continued.
"Besides, we don't have no chance, right? We still have so much time. Shouldn't we go back to the original activities of the game department? For example, make a new game?"
"Yes, the teacher is right. For our game development department, we only have the Millennium Club Competition left. As long as we win a prize, we will definitely be able to continue!"
Xiaolu looked at the teacher with determination in his eyes.
"Hey! Making a game... Are we still going to find the Bible there? That place is too scary! And..."
Taoi glanced at Alice and saw Alice's puzzled expression, so she quickly pulled the teacher aside.
"Teacher...if I go again, what if Alice becomes like that again!"
"I know what you're worried about."
Looking at Alice's innocent smile, Zhang Xinyuan said confidently: "Don't worry, the teacher will never let Alice have such a problem again!"
"Well... in that case, I'll be counting on you again, teacher! And even if it comes to that, we won't give up! Because Alice is already our partner! All right! Xiaolu, get ready, and get ready to go to the ruins to look for the Bible again!"
After hearing the teacher's words, Tao Jing felt reassured and directly pulled Xiaolu and Alice to go to the ruins.
"Well, it looks like we need to go again. Let's make some preparations... Hmm? Yuzu?"
Seeing Youzi grabbing the corner of his clothes, Ye Ling showed a strange expression.
"Teacher! Let me go with you this time!"
I have to take responsibility! Just like the teacher said!
Yuzu couldn't sit still any longer. Although she was afraid of the outside world, it was nothing compared to the adventure with her friends!
"Yuzu! You have to go outside with us! You haven't been out of school for half a year... Don't push yourself too hard!"
"No, we have everyone and the teacher. Although Yuzu is afraid, with everyone's strength, Yuzu has the courage to go with you!"
"Umm...Yuzu-chan."
Looking at Yuzu's determined eyes, the two sisters were dazed for a moment. At this time, they also found that Yuzu seemed different from before.
