Blue Files, there are 100 days left until Mr. disappears

"Speaking as if we can counterattack Holy Trinity tomorrow and take back the campus..."

Iori was still brave in her words, but she no longer had the confidence in her heart.

"Of course not so fast."

The gentleman chuckled, then looked up,

There was a trace of reminiscence in his eyes, as if he was nostalgic for the world he could not return to.

"After all, quick victory theory is not a fun thing."

He turned around and put his hands behind his back. His body seemed to exude the aura of long time, and a sense of vicissitudes of life came to his face.

"Both we and the Holy Trinity are now at the stage where we have exhausted our ammunition and are ready to make new plans. They have no ability to pursue us, and we are temporarily beyond our reach of their occupied areas."

"But power hates a vacuum. The current weak state of the Holy Trinity has been seen by those who are interested."

The gentleman shook his head, smiled and sighed:

"Now, the only one among the three major schools in Kivotos that is unscathed should have begun to prepare to harvest the fruits of victory."

Iori thought for a moment, then frowned and exclaimed:

"You mean Millennium Academy? But they are not..."

"Staying neutral?"

The gentleman still maintained a calm smile,

"It's still the same sentence, Iori-san: Small forces are neutral because they have no choice; big forces are neutral because they have great intentions."

"The Millennium College has not only been collecting battle data between Gehenna and Holy Trinity to provide data support for both parties, but the Millennium College's infiltration can also be seen in the mercenary groups that were annihilated by the joint forces in the past."

"Although they prefer to use peaceful means to solve problems, their control over all aspects of Kivotos is beyond the imagination of ordinary people."

Iori closed her eyes.

Being with her husband really refreshes her world view every moment.

In her impression, Millennium College is just a college composed of a group of nerds. They are not as annoying as Holy Trinity, but they are not looking down upon them either.

But my husband saw through their ambition hidden under their inaction appearance.

Trinity carries the momentum of victory that other schools might fear.

But Millennium College, which has been providing data support, is probably the one who understands best how powerful Holy Trinity is at this moment.

Compared to Iori's chaos, Mr. seemed to be well organized.

His right hand touched his lips, and he pondered for a while, seeming to be calculating the changes in Kivotos' future situation.

After thinking for a moment, the conclusion came out.

"In my judgment, Millennium Academy will not use violent means, as that will only result in more losses than gains."

"They will take advantage of Holy Trinity's weakness to propose financial assistance and construction plans in exchange for the formation of a joint force——

It is probably the seminar system they are most familiar with, which uses the method of decentralization and voting to try to weaken the influence of the Holy Trinity in the future joint forces.

I think there is a high probability that they will form a joint force under the banner of 'rebuilding the joint force'. "

Thinking of this, the gentleman couldn't help laughing:

"In the future joint forces, they may even support Ghenna's puppet forces to further weaken the decision-making ability of Holy Trinity."

"Only they know how much oil and water there is behind all the high-sounding words of reconstruction, union, and prosperity."

Iori was so angry:

"The joint force is your credit. Everyone sees it, but they just snatch it away!? Your reputation is treated as a puppet by them, and your credit is used by them as a means to fight for power. Why are you not angry? gentlemen!!"

The gentleman just smiled, sighed, and shook his head.

The moment he turned around, his light gray eyes were filled with sadness.

No matter how much Iori trusted her husband, she could not ignore the sadness that was so strong that it felt like a sharp sword piercing her heart.

Iori didn't understand why Mr. looked like that.

If it weren't for her husband's explanation, she wouldn't be able to understand most of his actions and performances.

He became more and more like a mystery, gentle and tolerant, yet ruthless when it was time to take action, and the pain he carried in his heart was hidden deeply, not letting the students see it.

Iori tried to think and reason,

After a moment, her face turned pale:

"You mean...there are others behind them..."

The gentleman looked away.

Iori gritted his teeth. Since his husband didn't deny it, it was affirmative.

Survival, for the man in front of him, was just an endless hard labor.

He has fought hard for his students until he was scarred, but the road of suffering can never end in sight.

"I have an informant at Millennium College."

The gentleman turned around, put his hands behind his back, and suddenly spoke,

"She told me amazing news: the arms dealers in Kivotos have united."

"Caesar PMC, which was dispersed by the coalition forces, Nonomi and her family's military-industrial group, and various factories and enterprises left behind by countless secret arts...

They formed a loose but large coalition, working together with Millennium College, part of the Federation Student Union, and Holy Trinity, determined to make a fortune, and more, in the rebuilding of Kivotos. "

"This emerging conglomerate, they call themselves 'Anaheim.'"

……

Iori lowered his eyes and said nothing, the sadness and fatigue on his face could no longer be concealed.

She had thought that her husband's future would be dangerous, but she never imagined that it would be so dangerous.

She even felt cruel and gratuitous in her feeling that Mr. Xiang would at least have a hundred days left before he would be tied to Kivotos and do endless hard labor forever.

She can't do anything after all.

There is only one remaining question,

"...How did you deduce that there is someone behind all this?"

"It's simple."

The gentleman smiled bitterly and said,

"Because that rumor is not Shengyuan Weihua's style."

"Although she does not hesitate to pay any price and use all means to achieve her goal, when it comes to matters involving me, Shengzono Weihua seems to have a kind of mental hysteria... She will not create such rumors, so she can only It’s someone else.”

"That's it."

Iori responded softly.

The gentleman suddenly stretched out his hands, held Iori's shoulders, looked directly into her eyes, and said word by word:

"Iori-san, I hope you are mentally prepared. The battle in the future will only become more severe."

"So, I hope you keep that promise."

"No" Iori muttered to himself

"When the war situation reaches a point of no return,"

"No"

"Iori, I want you to end my life and destroy Holy Trinity's plan."

"don't want………"

Iori's face turned pale, and she took a few steps back unsteadily.

"Click"

Then she picked up the gun and pointed it at Mr., with tears streaming from her bright red eyes, she gritted her teeth and said:

"Sir...do you want to give up now!?"

"On the contrary, I will go all out to solve the problem of Kivotos."

The gentleman replied calmly:

"It's just that I have to take all possible situations into consideration. Seek defeat first before seeking victory. This is the basis of tactics."

"I trust you absolutely with my life and my soul. I can swear this."

After saying that, Mr. patted Iori on the shoulder, walked up the spiral staircase holding on to the railing, and slowly disappeared above the cabin.

Iori stood there blankly, as if he was frozen.

Chapter 042: Day 059·Odyssey Ocean Academy①

the next day.

Ever since his husband semi-forced Iori to accept the almost forcible order with an unquestionable tone, his mood and spirit had returned to their usual calm state.

Sir as always.

As always, I get up early to greet students, as always, I guide students on their homework problems, as always, I communicate with various nodes responsible for transferring resources, and as always, I am busy.

Throughout the morning, Iori kept staring at Mr.

The order given by Mr. yesterday made Iori's stomach and heart turbulent.

But when she stared at her husband with a mixture of sadness and resentment in her eyes, she found that he was just like a normal person, still showing a gentle smile to the confused students.

It was as if he was not the one who was being sentenced and his time was coming, as if the severe pain in his body and the tearing of his soul did not exist.

'Speaking of which, sir, you haven't slept for two days and two nights, right?Although this is a bit inappropriate for me to say...but sir, you must take a rest. '

"This is not an invitation to fish, you are in a very bad state... Sir..."

As soon as he left the conference room, he was stopped by Iroha who appeared halfway.

Looking at the red hair ball blocking him, he immediately reacted and gave a faint smile.

But even though it was a smile, it was just a slight curl of the lips, which at least added a little more undulation to the dull face.

"Sorry, Iroha, the students' crisis of trust in me has not been completely resolved. This is all because I took it upon myself to bring Azusa Shirasu here. Their suspicion of me is reasonable, and I must use actions to gain their trust and understanding. "

Iroha's eyes darkened for a moment.

She pursed her lips, and the hands in her coat pockets tightened unnaturally, but her expression did not change significantly.

"That's it...then do as you like."

She responded calmly, and then said no more.

Iroha did not ask his husband why he brought a troublesome person like Shirasu Azusa here.

She didn't cry and beg him in tears, why she did not hesitate to waste her severely damaged body to gain the trust of other students.

Because the answer to the latter is so obvious that no one with a little bit of overall perspective can't understand it.

As for Shirasu Azusa's question, although Iroha also wanted to ask her husband clearly,

But she prefers to respect her husband's personal space.

They need each other, yet remain distant, but do not touch each other's bottom line. This is the unique tacit understanding between her and her husband.

What's more, Iroha is not a child who likes to make trouble unreasonably.

However, this tacit understanding of mutual dependence and this trust finally made her stand in front of her husband. She wanted to speak but was speechless in the end.

Iroha left in low spirits, his little figure looking a little sad for some unknown reason.

Iori watched her gradually disappear on the other side of the corridor.

She was a former member of the Discipline Committee, and Iroha was a former member of the Ten Thousand Demons Hall. Logically speaking, neither of them looked down on the other.

But now it seems that they have more in common than imagined.

She put one hand on her waist and moved it against the wall of the cabin. She looked at her husband with her eyes, then shook her head and sighed:

"The kid cares about you, sir, can't you tell?"
