"puff……"

Just as Paimon was about to utter a merciless laugh at the sky, he was quickly pulled down from the sky by him.

"Ahem, I'll be in charge of guarding the second half of the night. Jizi, you and Lao Yang can go and rest. Anyway, we've returned to the sky above Beloberg to use the shielding force field of the star core. If something really hits us, I think Yiting and Heita's backup plan can avert danger."

After hearing what Sora said... Himeko realized that this was the first time she had gained a strange sense of relief from 'Broken Tracks'.

Due to the continuous blockade of the star core, even the star god's gaze would not last too long... except for Aha. And other guys with poor information acquisition ability did not reach here so easily - Ji Zi shook her head with a smile. This kind of unforeseen disaster that was usually avoided actually concealed and protected the train to a certain extent.

"Well, Natasha's safety is naturally the top priority, but Sora, I've heard Asuna and the others talking about the 'bath' all day long... are you okay?"

After giving up her job as a navigator, Ji Zi, who regarded herself as a "parent", began to care about the mental health and living conditions of the students.

After all, Natasha was not Empty's old lover. Ji Zi tried to persuade him in a roundabout way to be more restrained when there were visitors, and not to drift into Natasha's room in the middle of the night while guarding her.

The Star Train is not a gun carriage after all.

"..."

Of course Sora remembered the agreement with Asuna and the others, but if Natasha saw him fooling around with students... would she have some misunderstandings about him?

Although that can't be considered a misunderstanding.

"Teacher! Karin and I are now full of energy and ready to go, okay?"

As if she was afraid that Sora might have dementia or that he might regret it, Asuna noticed Sora's shifty glance towards the back of the observation car and immediately shouted to him excitedly:

"Wipe the teacher's back?Wipe the teacher's back~"

"Senior... Miss Natasha is still here..."

Hua Lin is very sensitive about her reputation and is afraid that "outsiders" will know that she and her senior are both girls with little self-control.

But she didn't seem to be able to hold back the blush of anticipation on her face. Her dark skin turned pinker and she hardly dared to look at Kong and Nata.

If you don’t know, you might think that Kong is not on special alert tonight, but is planning to lure the beautiful Natasha in and “slaughter” her.

"...What lively kids... Is the train so lively every day?"

Nata is no longer a "little girl" no matter how you put it. Beloberg is not short of water. As a former "young lady", she knows how decadent the lives of some families and people in Kburg are. Hearing Ichinose's overly open remarks, her beauty mole couldn't help but shudder.

"It wasn't this lively before Sora boarded the train." Jizi spread out her right hand in a joking manner:

"Please don't mind, hehe..."

……

"Sora... I know it's very rude to ask this, but you and your students..." Before entering the somewhat narrow guest room, Nata turned around with a look of "disillusionment".

"It's just as you think... I'm ready to be despised by everyone. You can attack me as much as you want, I will never fight back."

In fact, as early as the day when Asuna and Karin overslept, he had already been severely tortured by Himeko and Kurita - but this was not a problem that could be solved by just controlling himself. The key was that the students could completely ignore the outside world's views and launch an offensive against him.

"If they don't get what they want, with their obsession, they might even develop depression or even autism... or launch a more terrible attack on me - I'm not excusing myself. My good students fought a war in the secular sense to compete for one or two dates with me, and pulled out all the planes and tanks - at that time, my body was not as strong as it is now. I was tied to the podium and could only accept the winner's invitation to a date in near despair."

"…It's not easy for you either…"

She originally thought she had complete autonomy, but in reality she was at the mercy of others... This was far different from what Nata had imagined.

She had been struggling before. If Kong attacked her at night under the pretext of asking her to repay him, would she be able to face Xier?

How could a woman like me, who was only mature in age and theory but had zero practical experience, control the situation?

This even gave rise to some expectations that even she herself found strange... She was a little shy about it, but in a sense, her mature body and mind suppressed the shyness that only a young girl would have. It could be said to be quite contradictory.

Nata felt that it was not a bad idea to end her "youth" which had almost passed by a long time ago. At least her ideas were more serious... But she didn't think about it that way at all. She had no shortage of beautiful female companions around her.

So the expectation began to turn into resentment, causing Nata to develop a strange and confrontational mood while remaining gentle, trying to wrestle with the "young people".

"Their situation is quite special. I am the only person of the opposite sex who can see, move, and look not particularly strange. Simply put, I am the only teacher in the campus... These are all emotional problems that have accumulated over time. Some of them are my fault, but most of them are forced."

Sora kept pouring out his troubles to her, making Nata feel even more uncomfortable and at the same time she didn't know how to comfort him - letting a so-called "old woman" provide psychological counseling to a guy who was quite young in mentality but whose age was no longer reliable?

What a joke.

"…I'm sorry, I can't help you with the student's problem. But if there's anything else you need my help with, I'd be happy to help…anything."

At this point, Nata had already handed the end of her youth into Sora's hands, but she deliberately said it in a somewhat ambiguous way.

She knew it was not a good idea to do this, as it gave her a strong tea-flavored vibe that she hated. But she didn't want to be looked down upon by Sora, or to be looked at strangely by Seele and Bronya.

If only Sora could be more proactive... or have a bigger appetite.

But it was obvious that he did not intend to add any extra weight to himself, and did not intend to take the initiative to respond to Nata's statement.

"Then take a good rest. The lower district needs you to be alert."

"Huh... Has any girl ever told you, Kong, that you are actually very capable?" Nata's gentle eyes were filled with a hint of anger.

She did not despise Kong for his promiscuity, but she felt somewhat dissatisfied when he came up with more lofty rhetoric to replace love between men and women.

...Although Natasha always regarded herself as an older young woman who "could pursue love but didn't need to", the look in her eyes still struck Kong's heart hard. It was hard to say that she had never admired herself in the mirror, otherwise she would never have such a strong lethality.

She knew she was beautiful, and she knew how to use this weapon given by God, but there was no goal in the first half of her life that was worth her going all out for...

The praise from people in the lower class districts was mostly focused on her medical skills, so she almost forgot that she could gain the upper hand in conversation just by relying on her looks.

"A lot of people say that... but when you actually get along with me, do you think I have the luxury to play tricks on you?"

Kong had to avoid Nata's gaze, otherwise the ripples caused by the swaying eyes and the slight resentment would revitalize the star core in his body... and make him tense.

"...Hehe...it seems that no matter how experienced you are, you may not be able to withstand all..." Nata noticed his embarrassment, and then her indignant and slightly sad expression was replaced by satisfaction, and she chose to stop there.

She enjoyed the pleasure of being "cheered over" by a man. Although it went against the doctor's self-esteem, to the man who inadvertently showed her courtesy was empty, it was a compliment that far surpassed the compliments from other men.

From feeling uneasy to looking radiant and giggling, it actually only took one instinctive recognition. She suddenly found that Kong was quite easy to understand and not that mysterious. Her intimacy with him overwhelmed the self-sacrificing idea of ​​"repaying a favor".

266. Teacher Kong, don’t be like this, Teacher Kong!

Natasha got what she wanted - she was very happy because she was indirectly proved that her charm was not inferior to that of young children.

Although he still has some obsession with whether he can replace Raven, the timing tonight is not very good.

She did not forget that the Star God's rebuke could come at any time. It was an extreme "madness" that had no concept of good or evil and was purely for the sake of fulfilling one's destiny, regardless of the life and death of ordinary people and morality.

She might become a consumable in destiny, or she might be favored, but what she should do now is to hide herself as much as possible according to Ji Zi's advice until the Star God "loses interest" in her. She must not cause too much trouble to the people on the train, which naturally includes not causing too much psychological burden to Kong.

As a doctor, she knew very well that after intense physical exertion and excessive mental relaxation, if a sudden battle broke out, Sora's reaction speed would become quite slow. If possible, she even wanted to suggest Sora not to look for his students - purely from a rational point of view.

"Earth Fire can't be without me for a long time. How long do you plan to keep me 'frozen'?"

Nata asked with a hint of regret and a hint of joking.

"It will only be two days, at most. Yiting's people will board the car to provide you with a layer of insurance. The ceremony will take some time to protect your body and memory."

Sora stroked his chin, raised his eyes, and seemed unsure about the person who came: "The messenger said that he was a memory preservation expert, and his code of conduct was 'exchange', which seemed to be different from 'protection', but I have also prepared a backup plan. If anything goes wrong, I will give you my memory -"

"Eh?"

"To be precise, I will return your memories to you in the form of a light cone. You can't just let Yi Ting keep them. I also encrypted three copies of Wah's information in Dan Heng's database... I will upload the relevant content again. Remember to compare them when the time comes. If there is a discrepancy, it means that the other party has invaded the train or tampered with your memory."

Sora tried his best to put away his previous complaining look and reassure Nata: "Now all you can do is eat well and sleep well, relieve the stress from your previous busy schedule, and occasionally look at the research records to strengthen your impression. If a battle breaks out, we will take over."

"Well...goodnight, Dr. Sora?"

"It's strange for you to call me that."

"Haha, you really aren't the type to care about titles, but why does Ms. Black Tower call you that?"

"It can be considered a mutual recognition of genius." Kong could tell that Nata cared a lot about his relationship with Heita. Nata had never done such a deliberate act of digging for information before, so he immediately became alert.

"You want to know her?"

"I'm going to bother you at the space station later, so I'm just doing my homework in advance... Good night, Sora."

As the other person's eyes that flickered like candlelight disappeared at the other end of the door, Kong finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Nata is the kind of woman he likes, intellectual and gentle, and most importantly, mature in thinking and knows what she needs most. She will not fight to the death, can give while also taking, and knows the healthiest way to operate a relationship.

But because of her advantages, Kong was actually very conflicted... He was already a little overwhelmed by Heita and Esta. Even if the new local friends of the opposite sex would be rewarded by Aha, it would be useless if too many people were rewarded. He still understood this moderation and had to proceed step by step within a controllable range.

Finally, he raised his hand and glanced at the back of his hand, which no longer hurt - the Servants had not arrived yet, and the battle on the other side looked quite intense...

If Kama was in place, he would also need to balance the relationship between her and Ying a little, which gave him a headache just thinking about it.

But Kama's arrival brings 50% more energy. If the Honkai system can be successfully activated... he will be able to verify the connection between Party A's world and the Honkai world. This is a very important step, both from the perspective of diversified research and from enriching the system's rule cognition. It can contribute to the journey.

"The other 50% of energy is best obtained by clearing the Rift... Bronya and Seele haven't figured out what they're after yet... Give them more time to think about it."

Cheating little girls and the like... the guilt was too great. In the past, he was ignorant and wanted everything, but life in the harbor and with Kivotos had cured him of his big-eyed and small-minded problem.

"Teacher~!"

He turned back to the corridor, only to see Asuna and Karin in the living room, who had been peeking at his back for a long time.

It’s strange. I didn’t feel their presence at all just now... Is it because my attention was distracted?

Sora forced a helpless smile and said, "Sorry for the long wait. I need to maintain my strength tonight, so I'm afraid I can only rub your back... Is that okay?"

"Of course, no problem. Hehe, I just want to chat with the teacher more. The internship tasks these days are not heavy, but it's not as fun to wander around in the snow as it is to wander around in the city. I don't have much chance to be with you."

Speaking of the latter part, Asuna's face, which almost never showed a frustrated expression, couldn't help but be silent for a moment.

This made Kong's heart skip a beat.

His original intention was to hope that the students would not pester him for rewards after getting addicted to it, but he went too far in controlling the duration, which made them feel lonely instead.

There was a problem with the time management. Between Beloberg's work, the work in the space station and the entertainment of his female companions, he seemed to have neglected Eula, Haiya and Asuna, the girls who arrived a few days earlier.

"…Although I would like to say that the seniors always have endless energy…and always cause trouble for the teacher."

Seeing that Kong Ding paused, Hua Lin sighed, "But recently, Ms. Ying and Ms. Noshiro have taken up too much of our time... There are some areas that require guidance, and we hope that you can demonstrate it for us in person."

"Sorry... It's not that I'm leaving you alone, it's just that the places where I need to show up recently aren't very suitable for you to go..."

After hearing the students' words filled with resentment, Kong felt a little sorry for them.

After all, he hadn't spent the evening with his students for almost two weeks since the last sweet treat.

"How about this... I'll let Noshiro and Kage switch shifts with you guys, and go to the city in a few days to check out the sales situation... Can this barely be considered a date?"

"Great~ I want to go to the flower shop called 'Eternal Summer' with my teacher and bring back some decorations for the conductor~"

"I want to go to other mechanical houses in Beloberg to look at the modification parts. Miss Sylva said that as long as there are enough materials, she is willing to help me modify a sniper rifle suitable for extremely cold regions."

Seeing that Sora had softened his heart, Asuna and Karin immediately made a request in a smart and clever way.
