I became a heart-stealing thief in Azure Files

"Xiao Kong, can I borrow a little bit of your time?"

"Hey?"

Chapter 77 Xiao Kong: Sensei is indeed a very caring adult towards his students!

"Xiao Kong, can I borrow a little bit of your time?"

As he said those words, Amamiya couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

In the past, this phrase was often used by other students as a "pre-battle declaration" or a "standard opening line" before they "wanted to spend time alone with themselves"...

Now, he has also become a rebel against the Heavenly Gang.

Meeting Amamiya's unusually serious gaze, Sora felt a sudden, inexplicable panic.

She shrank back timidly, involuntarily recalling Sensei's sudden action towards her last time—

Could it be... that Sensei is going to... again?

Lick, lick...my...forehead...?

Or……

"Sen, Sensi... what... what do you want to do?"

The pair of small, pure white wings behind her suddenly fluttered, revealing the girl's inner panic, yet she maintained a calm facade.

Amamiya: "..."

There's no need to be so nervous, is there?

"That squad from earlier... I'd like to ask about them."

Xiao Kong blinked, and the intense turmoil in her light blue eyes gradually subsided.

Is that all...?

I'm not trying to make any strange requests...

Xiao Kong breathed a slight sigh of relief, feeling both relieved that Amamiya hadn't done anything strange, and slightly disappointed at the same time.

'Huh... that's strange, I subconsciously stood on my tiptoes...?'

'And why be disappointed...'

After the shoppers paid and left, the blonde loli girl, who seemed a little disappointed for some reason, walked to the counter with small steps and found a high stool for Amamiya to sit on.

Carefully, Sora handed a bottle of carbonated drink to Amamiya with both hands. Only after Amamiya reached out and took it did Sora cautiously ask, "Sensei, what... what do you want to ask?"

"Regarding when they arrived..."

Amamiya removed the bond skill between Maruki-sensei and Taiyo-san, opened a soda and took a sip, instantly transforming into the 'gentle and approachable' boy in Sora's eyes.

"Xiao Kong, do you remember when they first came here?"

"And how often? Or rather... how often do they come on average since their initial visit to 'Angels 24'?"

The questions raised by Amamiya, which are somewhat related to 'social engineering' (social work), clearly touched on some of Sora's blind spots in knowledge.

After tilting his head slightly and thinking for a while, Xiao Kong looked distressed.

"I can't remember..."

"Sensei, please wait a moment while I check the surveillance footage..."

After returning to the cashier, Xiao Kong used the computer near the cashier to review the store's surveillance footage.

Limited by 'macro-environmental factors', Kivotos's monitoring equipment has naturally developed to be quite intelligent.

Xiao Kong doesn't need to spend a lot of time scrolling back to see the progress bar. She only needs to enter the keywords of the customers whose information has already been entered to easily find the time and frequency of their visits.

Xiao Kong, scrolling through the messages, quickly gave a precise reply: "Hmm... the earliest record is from half a month ago..."

Two weeks ago—that was shortly after he initially resolved the "Eden Treaty" related incidents, before he was invited to the "Cherry Blossom Festival."

Amamiya nodded.

'It seems... that's definitely related to the documents I signed earlier.'

'Is it because of the flowers...?'

After holding the soda can and moving closer to the cashier, Amamiya heard Sora's next summary.

"As for the access frequency... it started at twice a day."

"About a week ago, the frequency of visits increased to three to four times a day..."

"Four days ago, the frequency of visits started to decrease... to once a day."

"As for the timing of the visits... they are concentrated in the morning, at noon, and around dinner time..."

Inferring from their visit frequency...

Whether the documents signed by Amamiya have been implemented by the Federal Student Council is another matter.

At least the members of the Fox Squad learned about it through some special channel—and were quite dissatisfied, even placing the blame for SRT Academy's current predicament entirely on themselves.

In fact... even without Amamiya's signature, SRT would still have to disband eventually.

Amamiya has even delayed the disbandment of SRT Academy for some time.

If it weren't for Rin's reservations back then...

(Related plot: "The Fool" Volume, Chapter 26)

I'm afraid SRT probably broke up a long time ago.

Amamiya believes that Hanaya may also have played a part in why the Fox Squad shifted all the blame onto him.

Who are the members of the Federal Student Association that the Fox Squad can contact?

Of course, it's flowers.

Considering the documents that Hanaya had provided before... it's hard for Amamiya not to think that this might be a 'little trick' that Hanaya used to mess with him.

"That's it..."

While deep in thought, Amamiya leaned forward and gently brushed aside Sora's already slightly sparse bangs, rubbing her smooth, delicate forehead, which carried a faint milky scent, against Sora's skin.

"Thanks for the information, Xiao Kong. It's very useful to me."

【~???~】(from Xiaokong)

Looking up at the curly-haired young man who was giving her a gentle gaze and a warm feeling, Xiao Kong became even more puzzled.

Sensei isn't some weird adult... he just occasionally does things that are a little surprising (referring to licking his forehead).

'Why...? Sensei is such a gentle adult...'

Why does the Fox Squad have such a strong prejudice against Sensei?

Xiao Kong couldn't quite understand the 'grudges' related to SRT Academy.

In her eyes, Sensei was definitely a very gentle and mature adult.

According to the accounts of different team members who have been coming to "Angel 24" to help out all day recently...

Hiyori-senpai said: Before meeting Sensei, they were so destitute that they had to scavenge for food in garbage cans to survive, and they couldn't even afford to buy expired magazines...

Now, not only are we enjoying delicious food, but our lives are getting happier every day.

Saori-senpai said: It was Sensei who redeemed her from the darkness and thorns, allowing her to return to the normal life she had always dreamed of, where she could be free to do what she wanted without being bound.

Senior Akiko also clearly stated that... it was Sensei who dragged their Arios squad out of the darkness and showed them a "future with flowers blooming ahead".

Even the most pessimistic senior, Misaki, was noticed by Sora... When she was alone, she would sometimes hesitate and ponder, and finally smile with relief as if she had remembered something.

Xiao Kong didn't understand, so she asked directly, "Sensei, why are they...?"

Amamiya didn't go into too much detail about SRT Academy, but simply said, "Right now, the Fox Squad and the Arios Squad are in some similarities... they are also on the verge of extinction."

"I plan to... talk to them further."

Xiao Kong's eyes shone brightly, her expression filled with longing.

"After bringing Hiyori-senpai and Saori-senpai back to normal life, Sensei, have you started caring about other students who are struggling financially...?"

"You truly are a kind adult who cares deeply for your students!"

【~???~】

I could feel the anticipation from Xiaokong.

【Coop↑UP!】

【Empty (Hermit) ★★★★☆☆☆☆☆☆】

Amamiya: "..."

For a moment, his expression was complicated and strange, and he briefly felt guilty for 'deceiving an innocent and adorable girl'.

Hmm...so caring...

Temporarily banishing her complicated thoughts, Amamiya picked out some Monster Energy drinks and snacks that the Beritas members would probably like the most, and paid the bill.

'Judging from the situation, I should consider going to the Federation Student Council to see Hana or Rin...'

'However, the Fox Squad's affair is a story for another time.'

'Right now, let's deal with the truth behind the resort first.'

Once outside, Amamiya, lost in thought, first used one hand to send a new message to Chihiro.

There's something I might need to ask Chihiro...

As a 'digital ghost' roaming the internet, Qianxun replies instantly.

Chihiro: ?

[Chihiro: Understood. Everyone in Beritas is available right now. Sensei can come anytime if she needs to.]

'Next, let's go to Beritas's place.'

Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Joy of Rat Eight Jin...?

[Amamiya: [Audio.MP4]]

[Amamiya: Yuriko, do you want to comment on your seniors?]

On his way to the Millennium Science Academy, Amamiya was on the only train he was traveling on at that time.

Sitting in the train carriage, bathed in the warm, bright spring sunshine that was gradually giving way to summer colors, Amamiya, feeling a mix of amusement and curiosity as she recalled the incident that had occurred at "Angel 24" not long ago, finally extracted the audio recording that Sophia had made throughout the entire event, and then... forwarded it to a former member of the SRT Academy...

Yuriko is currently working at the Millennium Project Department.

Yuriko's response to this voice message, which was so obvious that you could guess what it was about without even listening to it, was quite simple.

[Yuriko:? 】

[Liuriko: Chi Xi. 】

First, a question mark appears, then a simple word is used to express extreme emotions.

This is enough to prove that Yuriko really doesn't like her seniors very much.

With the intention of gaining a deeper understanding of the FOX team, Amamiya thought for a moment and casually typed: "How does Yuriko view her seniors?"

[Yuriko:...]

[Yuriko: A main system that only performs tasks, and her three subsystems.]

Amamiya: "..."

After carefully considering Yuriko's message, Amamiya indeed sensed a hidden disdain in her words, a feeling that she wasn't familiar with these people.

So what exactly is the situation with the Fox Squad?

It seems I'll need to ask about all aspects in detail later.

Putting the thought aside for the time being, Amamiya picked up the shopping bag containing various portable foods and energy drinks like Monster Energy, and got off at the station near the Millennium Science Academy's self-governed area after the train gradually slowed down and came to a stop.

As the seasons change more and more clearly, the clothing style of the 'science-oriented women' who have been around for thousands of years is becoming increasingly more inclined towards cool and refreshing styles.
