But she restrained her desire very well, did not ask aloud, but answered truthfully after a moment of recollection:

"There is no change in my usual life, and my attitude towards everyone is still stable. I don't see anything abnormal."

"Really...I see."

Saori clicked her tongue, her delicate brows were furrowed for a moment and then slowly relaxed. She took out her mobile phone and began to pass on the map information collected by Xiao Azusa.

Whether this information is a well-planned trap or not, she is a little uncertain, but it doesn't matter, as long as there are traces of deployment on it, then to a certain extent, the commander's habits and style can be judged from it.

Even if there is no real troop layout plan, as long as you have a thorough understanding of the opponent's command style, you can also gain a certain degree of first-hand advantage in battle.

But if this is false information leaked deliberately by borrowing Bai Zhouzi's hand... then it's a completely different situation.

Generally speaking, in order to prevent the worst outcome, this map can be used as a reference, but it must not be blindly trusted, or even based on it as a blueprint to greatly change the original attack plan.

Such uncertain risks are simply too high.

During the process of information transmission, Bai Zhouzi didn't speak any more, just quietly watched Saori's movements.

It wasn't until she had dealt with everything and returned the data card again that the white-haired girl seemed to casually mention a word.

"Saori, what will you do after the mission of the Treaty of Eden is over?"

"Why ask such nonsense."

The brows under the yarn-woven peaked cap frowned, and the pace that was about to turn around and leave stopped, but she still didn't refuse to answer Xiao Zi's question:

"If the mission is successful, the Holy Trinity will cease to exist, and we will return to the new Arius to continue living. If the mission fails, then we will be hunted down by Ghena and the Holy Trinity forever. There is no third possibility."

"What if there is an opportunity for everyone to leave Arius forever?"

"...No matter where this idle fantasy came from, you shouldn't have such thoughts now, Azusa."

Saori lowered her eyes, covering most of her face under the brim of her hat, and the temperature that was not obvious between her words suddenly dropped sharply.

"You haven't forgotten, 'vanitas vanitatum'. "

"...everything is false."

Bai Zhouzi was silent for a few seconds, then said in a low voice to the classical proverb that could be said to be engraved in his bones, but his eyes turned to the bright moon hanging in the sky outside the window.

"No matter how hard you try, whether you succeed or fail, everything is meaningless in the end...I have never forgotten it."

"Since this is the case, don't take the seemingly peaceful life now as something that everyone can enjoy."

Saori let out a breath, her face half covered by the mask was neither sad nor happy, with no demeanor or expression.

"This world itself is like this. No matter where you go, the ubiquitous nothingness will just follow you."

"I know, I just asked after a whim."

Bai Zhouzi shook his head up and down slightly, explained something casually, then turned around and walked away.

The sound of steady and crisp footsteps spread far away among the abandoned corridors, and crooked shadows along the way folded their arms a little timidly, watching the girl's figure disappear under the moonlight.

Saori stood where she was, stared at Bai Zhouzi's disappearing back for a while, and let out a deep sigh.

……

On the other side, in the dormitory building of the old campus.

Luo Lin, who was lying on the bed and not yet sound asleep, suddenly opened his eyes, his dark pupils reflected the faint light outside the window, his breathing was steady as usual, his body was motionless, but his palms were silently groping under the pillow.

"Click, click... creak—"

The faint sound of pushing the door echoed in the dormitory, and the icy touch of the metal handle of the Pulse Knife was already felt on the fingertips. The muscles all over the body tensed silently, quietly waiting for the moment when the unknown visitor approached in the middle of the night.

"Teacher? Teacher?"

The voice that only used exhalation sounded faintly, carefully testing whether he was asleep, like a kitten secretly pawing at you while working.

'This voice... Hanako? '

Luo Lin, who was lying on his side with his back to the door, raised his eyebrows lightly. After thinking about it, he still didn't continue to pretend to be asleep. He turned around calmly, and answered:

"what happened?"

"Hmm...Although it's getting closer, I know the teacher is still awake."

In the darkness, a big smile appeared on Hanako's cheeks, she didn't turn on the light, she found an open space on Luo Lin's bed and sat down, her little feet without shoes were lifted up to rest on the edge of the bed, her arms wrapped around her knees, She looked at him quietly.

"Why do you say that?"

"Because Azusa-chan doesn't know where to go."

Hanako smiled slightly, "It's been a long time, Azusa-chan and the teacher have been very close, it's almost like there's a secret that only two people know."

"Worried?"

Luo Lin propped himself up and sat up, and moved his body slightly to the side to make room for Hanako.

Hanako didn't hesitate, and followed Luo Lin's movements to sit inside, laying her folded legs flat, and leaning on the edge of the bed, curling up playfully.

"After all, Azusa-chan has too little rest time every day, so it's impossible not to worry, right? It makes people feel like they are anxious about something, and they must be prepared all the time."

"Well, this matter is really urgent for her."

Luo Lin nodded slightly, as if he agreed with Hanako's guess, "But you should have guessed a little bit about what Xiaozi is doing."

"It's only a rough outline, and a considerable part of the logic is not very clear."

Hanako shook her head, her long pink hair was hanging loose, flying a little gracefully with her movements, and the faint and elegant fragrance of flowers surrounded the tip of her nose.

"Don't worry, since Xiaozi has taken action today, it won't be too far from the moment when she will explain her affairs to you guys."

Luo Lin smiled, and wanted to say something else, but his ears moved suddenly in the darkness, and then he listened carefully for a while, before shrugging his shoulders at Hanako.

"Here, isn't it here?"

The moment the voice fell, the door closed by Hanako was pushed open again without a sound, and a slender figure stood still at the door.

Bai Zhouzi blinked, and by the light in the corridor, looked at Hanako in the room who was sitting on Luo Lin's bed in her pajamas, and tilted her head in some doubts.

"Teacher, do you need me to help you guard the gate?"

Chapter 8 Let’s Protect Nagisa Together (Updated, 26/[-])

Although Hanako was very curious about what happened around Azusa Bai, considering that it would be impolite to wake up Fumi and Haru who were already asleep, she decided to discuss it in detail the next day after discussing it with Luo Lin.

After a peaceful night, the girls from the security department gathered in the classroom as usual, but Hifumi and Xiaoharu were a little surprised to find that the one standing on the podium today was not Bai Zhouzi, but the one who had been sitting in the back row handling work in the past. rollin.

"Eh? Is the teacher going to teach us personally today?"

Hifumi's eyes lit up, she pressed her hands on the edge of the desk, and leaned forward with interest.

"Could it be something related to the third assessment?"

"But haven't you even mentioned the form of the assessment yet?"

Xiaochun, who also didn't know the details, scratched her hair, and the little black wings on both sides of her forehead trembled, as if expressing the inexplicable fear in her master's heart.

Exams or something... I'm still really not used to it.

"It's a bit of a relationship if you want to say."

Luo Lin thought for a while, and gave an answer that sounded extremely vague, and then raised his hand and tapped on the table.

"But before everything starts, Xiaozi has something to tell everyone, and you will understand after she finishes."

"Azusa-chan...?"

Rifumi was stunned for a moment, a little confusion flashed in her light golden pupils, but she still nodded her head, watching Bai Zhouzi stand up and walk onto the podium.

"There is something that I have been keeping from everyone."

"But now, after communicating with the teacher again, I realized that I can't continue to hide it."

Footsteps stopped on the podium, Xiao Zi took a deep breath, slightly clenched the hands hanging on both sides of her body, and glanced at the companions sitting below one by one.

Hifumi's thin lips were pursed into a straight line, as if vaguely reminded of something, her expression was tinged with imperceptible tension and embarrassment, and she seemed a little restless.

Hanako propped her chin, and there was a faint smile on the corner of her lips as usual. When she noticed Xiao Azusa's gaze turned, she winked mischievously at her, and the gentleness and encouragement were conveyed through her eyes.

And Xiaochun simply tilted his head, clasped his two small hands on the edge of the desk, feeling the serious atmosphere in the classroom for some reason, and his big pink eyes were full of ignorance and bewilderment.

So something big happened?

Why do you feel like everyone is so serious?

Seeing the different looks of his friends, Bai Zhouzi sniffled, wanting to laugh for some reason.

It's like when a person hugs his legs and shrinks in the corner of the wall after being in trouble, a dirty kitten puts its small dried fish in its mouth and puts it next to you, and then rubs against your legs. A heartfelt, warm smile.

She withdrew her gaze, raised her hand and patted her cheek, finally turned her head and looked at Luo Lin who was standing not far away, and finally said as if mustering up her courage:

"The "traitor of the Holy Trinity" that Nagisa Kirito from the tea party has been looking for...is me. "

Hifumi was stunned, as if the whole person was down, she sat on the chair and blinked her eyes for a long time, finally spit out a short syllable:

"……what?"

"Eh? You, what did you say all of a sudden?"

Xiaochun was also dumbfounded, but unlike Hifumi's surprised reaction after she understood something, she frowned strangely, as if she had heard a cold joke that she didn't understand at all.

"The traitor of the Holy Trinity? What kind of traitor? What kind of things are you referring to?"

"I transferred to Holy Trinity, and everyone must have known this for a long time."

Xiao Zi sighed in a low voice, paused for half a second to organize his words, and started to explain from the beginning.

"But... the school I was originally from was Arius, which is different from the school written on the transfer materials. The materials were forged, and the purpose was to sneak into Trinity Comprehensive College."

"Arianus, infiltrate..."

Hifumi opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say for a while, she could only repeat the two most important nouns in Xiao Azusa's words in a low voice, and quietly sat up straight.

Hanako didn't express her point of view, and her movements remained the same as before, but the "really so" look across her brows successfully explained why she was not very surprised.

"That, that... Where is this? What is Arius...?"

Xiaochun couldn't sit still anymore, coughed twice in embarrassment, turned sideways quietly, most of her eyes fell on Hanako, and weakly raised her arms to ask.

Huazi gave a small "hmm", looked up at Bai Zhouzi on the podium, and after making sure that there was no sense of disgust or resistance in her expression, she opened her mouth to explain to Xiaochun in a low voice.

"The Arius branch... In simple terms, it is an assigned school that opposed the joint establishment of the Trinity College before the joint establishment of the Trinity College."

"Because of the fierce resistance to the establishment of the joint school, an armed conflict was caused. After that, it separated from the Holy Trinity and quietly hid in a corner of Kivotos."

"Ah."

After Hanako's narration was finished, Xiao Azusa, who was the person involved, also nodded her head, and continued following Hanako's introduction based on her own personal situation.

"Before I came here, I lived in the autonomous region of Arius. Later, I accepted the mission of Arius and sneaked into the Holy Trinity."

"As for the content of my mission..."

The girl's words stopped, she pursed her lips vigorously, her voice suddenly became low, and there was a little uneasiness in her tone.

"It is to completely destroy the halo of Kiritou Nagisa as the host of the tea party."

"?!"

Hifumi was startled and almost stood up from the chair, while Xiaochun was even more direct, subconsciously yelling out the moment this sentence flashed through his mind.

"Isn't it?! Then, in that case, she will...!"

"Yes, will die."

Bai Zhouzi's expression darkened. Although he had already made up his mind, when he saw everyone's shocking appearance, his heart would inevitably throb.

But even so, she didn't stop her words, instead, she continued without hesitation before everyone continued to react.

"Arianus is ready to destroy the tea party by any means."

"First, he used lies such as reconciliation to deceive Weihua of the tea party, thus successfully inserting me into the Holy Trinity. According to the teacher's speculation, after all the dust settles, Weihua of the Holy Garden will be the one who will bear all the charges. people."

Hanako's expression finally became a little complicated, the emotions in the green pupils fluctuated slightly, and she sighed with emotion:

"I've also heard about Arius' hatred of the Holy Trinity, but I didn't expect it to reach this point... Did he not hesitate to use such a method for this?"

"No, wait, wait, what are you talking about...?"

Feeling the increasingly quiet and strange atmosphere, Xiaochun, who was out of place, was shocked all over, and hurriedly stood up, emphasizing the normal pronunciation of accentuated words:
