I became a heart-stealing thief in Azure Files

I became a heart-stealing thief in Azure Files

Author: Qiu Baiye

Summary:

(Ari World content)

...Wait a moment. I need to clarify a few things first.

First of all... I am the sensei here, and you... are my 'students'?

"Yes"

What are you doing?

What does it mean to "have developed a special relationship with Sensei and there is no turning back"?

What does it mean to "spend a long game with sensei..."?

What does it mean when "one's heart is stolen by a heart thief"?

"Isn't this what you've been doing all along, Sensei? Under the guise of 'transactions,' with the sole purpose of 'deepening bonds,' you steal our hearts with each encounter..."

Wait a minute... I'm here to save the world, what are you going to do to me?!

[List of Bond Relationships] *As of the end of the [Scepter] volume

Bond Relationship - The Fool (0.THe Fool)

【Hifumi Ajitani (The Fool) ★★★★★★★★★★ (MAX/MAX)】

[Assisted by: Hifumi Ajitani / Upcoming 'Best Actress']

[An extraordinary girl yearning for the ordinary] → [Upcoming Best Actress]

(Chapter 34 of the Destiny Volume)

[Arcana: The Fool]

【Assistance Abilities: ★1. Adorable Destructive Temptation; ★3. Kind and Approachable Charm; ★5. Ordinary Girl's Musings; ★10. One-Act Duo Drama】

【Cute Destructive Temptation: A cute quality learned from Hifumi. People always have a slight destructive urge towards cute and adorable things. Psychology calls this behavior 'Cute Destructiveness' or 'Cute Aggreson'】

When your charm reaches an extreme, you'll more easily attract protection, but you'll also provoke a slight destructive urge in those protecting you.

[Kindness and Affinity: The pure affinity emanating from Hifumi's kind heart. It is precisely because of this affinity that this girl, the 'Fool,' becomes as warm as a little angel, a little sun.]

[Ordinary Girl's Musings: From Hifumi's character and inner world, we sense her yearning for the extraordinary—a true desire—and her unwavering longing for her own coming-of-age story.]

[Increase the favorability gained when dealing with assistants who are 'girlish' and 'thoughtful'.]

'A young girl's musings are always complex and intricate... but in reality, what she truly desires is simple—yet difficult to truly achieve. All she wants is a story called "youth and everyday life."'

[A one-act duo: Through Hifumi's profound bond, one senses the satisfaction she derives from being the 'protagonist of her own life.']

[When two people are together, significantly increase the goodwill gained from the person providing assistance during collaborative activities.]

"Life is a one-act play—it begins at birth and ends at death." "So, may I invite you...to join me in constructing that one-act, two-person play?"

★10 [Assistant's Introduction: As the story came to a close... Hifumi revealed her feelings to me—she hoped that this kind of story could continue forever. She hoped that we could work together to construct a one-act duo play called "Life."]

Hmm...maybe Izuna can be considered a magician in the future?
