I became a heart-stealing thief in Azure Files

The missing person should be the key figure behind the planning of this "surprise attack".

I just don't know who she is...

But who she is isn't really that important.

Importantly, with the last group of roving delinquent girls being caught, the last remaining "escaped fish" were also eliminated.

This means that the "resort hunting" has officially come to an end.

'It's time to consider the future development of the resort and the plans to take control of the academy franchise on the main island…'

Chapter 112 Attacking the High-Flying Fox

In the dead of night, lying in bed, as consciousness is about to connect with dreams, or as Saintia drags me into the 'Museum House' or Laventa drags me into the Velvet Room—

Amamiya suddenly felt something familiar yet strange, furry, gently reaching out and brushing against her cheek.

It has a fluffy fox tail, unique to the area where one might parade one hundred demons, a blend of the delicate fragrance of cherry blossoms and the fresh scent of sunshine...

But it wasn't the 'big fox tail' that Amamiya was already very familiar with.

As the large tail gently and slowly brushed against his cheek, as if caressing him, Amamiya felt the lingering smell of gunpowder on the tip of the tail, as if it hadn't been completely cleaned off, and the tactile sensation created by the fabric of the bow, which was probably an ornament, attached to the tail.

Yuriko's tail isn't that big...

So, it's Wakamo...?

A guess immediately formed in his mind. Amamiya maintained his 'sleeping' expression without making any move.

It seemed that only after confirming that Amamiya was completely unresponsive did Wakazama's words, which were filled with a sense of moisture and gravity and seemed almost intoxicating, gradually reach Amamiya's ears.

"Hehe...sleeping dear...so peaceful~"

"If I could stay with my beloved like this forever... Wakazama..."

"Sleeping like this is so cute (sniff sniff) Darling... I can't bear to wake her up (sniff sniff)..."

"..."

"The scent of 'two foxes'... When Ruozao wasn't around, was my dear bewitched by those two foxes...?"

"It seems that Wakazama still needs to wake up her darling and leave on her... a 'special mark' that belongs only to Wakazama~"

After saying that, Amamiya clearly felt a slight rustling sound of fabric coming from the direction of the sound.

After a rustling sound, Amamiya, with her eyes closed, felt a slender, cool, and delicate hand, uniquely girlish, gently rest on her forehead.

What is Wakazama... trying to do?

Amamiya was curious and hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not 'wake up immediately'.

He continued to pretend to be asleep, intending to see just how far Wakazama could go.

After letting the hand straighten her cheek, Amamiya then felt a weight gradually coming from her waist—a slight and wonderful pressure from the plump and alluring thighs, which approached in sync with the weight and temperature of the girl's body.

Then... Amamiya sensed it, a very noticeable, slight breathing sound.

Her breath was as sweet as orchids and as fragrant as musk, carrying the urgent longing of a young girl.

After swaying her waist slightly, Wakazama gradually lowered her head—

Amamiya was all ready to experience the sensation on her lips, but then...

He waited for about five minutes before he felt a light 'peck' on his left cheek.

The feeling of 'skimming the surface' lasted only a moment.

Amamiya: "..."

Hearing Wakazama's heavy, excited breathing, as if she had accomplished something great, Amamiya was speechless.

They were behaving in such an 'exaggerated' and 'aggressive' manner...

But when it really came down to it, he turned out to be incredibly innocent.

Having confirmed that Wakazama was unlikely to do anything else outrageous, Amamiya stopped pretending to be asleep.

His expression twisted slightly as he attempted to roll over.

From the moment Amamiya showed signs of 'about to wake up', Wakasa was clearly stunned.

Amamiya felt the weight straddling her waist suddenly stiffen.

Immediately afterwards, Amamiya heard Wakamo's soft murmur, "Eh?!" "My darling is waking up? What should I do, what should I do..."—a murmur tinged with panic and helplessness.

Amamiya was increasingly speechless: Wakazama, before considering all this... wouldn't it be better if you got off me first?

Amamiya tried to 'hint' Wakazama to get down quickly by rolling over, but it not only failed to work, but also caused Wakazama's 'fox brain overload' on the spot. Helpless, Amamiya simply rubbed his eyes and slowly opened them.

"...Wakazama?"

The drowsiness was quickly dispelled, and Amamiya then met Wakamo's gaze with a slightly puzzled look, as if she hadn't quite come to her senses yet.

"Ah, ah...!"

Wakazama responded unconsciously in a daze at first.

Then she realized something, and her expression suddenly turned tender yet flustered.

"Um...darling~"

"After preparation, Wakazama is now... making a comeback~"

Looking at Wakasa, who was dressed in a pure white summer dress and straddled her waist, and who was known as the "Fox of Calamity" but was behaving like a panicked girl who had done something wrong, Amamiya felt increasingly helpless.

Ruozao... isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to use such a villainous phrase as "making a comeback" to describe yourself?

Amamiya tried to get up a second time—he managed to sit up with difficulty, bracing himself against the bed frame with both hands.

Seeing that Wakazama was still acting like a 'fox brain overload,' Amamiya remained silent and began to scrutinize her carefully.

"Um, being stared at like that... Wakazama, I really..."

"Um...I'm...shy..."

"Hmm... It's a blessing to see Wakazama wearing summer clothes."

【~???~】(from Wakazama)

The verbal 'hints' did not make Wakazamo move an inch. After she covered her face with her hands, Amamiya remained silent for a few seconds and then let out a long sigh.

"While Wakazama is certainly a feast for my eyes right now,...wouldn't it be better if she got off me first?"

"what……!"

Ruozao seemed to only then realize what was happening. After letting out a panicked and ashamed cry, she swayed her large, deep red fox tail and quickly 'darted' to the bedside, slipping off in her sandals.

Anticipating that Wakazama might say something like 'apology', Amamiya decisively interrupted her thoughts before she could speak.

After lifting the covers and sitting on the edge of the bed, Amamiya looked at Wakazamo and asked, "Wakazamo, what brings you to me at this hour?"

When asked this question, Wakazama paused noticeably again.

"Wakazao came to find her beloved..."

"It's because..."

"for……"

After 'thinking' for a few seconds, Wakazama, who had been hanging her head, suddenly looked up and answered firmly, 'Let my darling see... a completely new side of Wakazama~'

"Wakazama doesn't want her beloved to be taken away by other foxes (Izuna, Yuriko) without her noticing... so Wakazama has to take the initiative."

After sorting out her own strange train of thought, Wakazama nodded firmly and repeated with self-affirmation, "Wakazama wants to take the initiative... so, Sensei..."

Amamiya chuckled and shook his head, once again cutting off Wakazama's illogical thoughts and expressions, which were somewhat disjointed due to her 'love mode'.

"Wakazama, the stars outside are beautiful."

"Shall we go for a walk together?"

Ruozao was slightly taken aback by the sudden invitation.

But then, she revealed a 'bright and gentle' smile that Amamiya had never seen before.

"……Um!"

Chapter 113: The most virtuous episode of Ruozao...?

As night falls, a sea breeze blows across the nearshore waters. The sea, which is exceptionally clear and blue during the day, now glistens and appears deep and somber.

The moonlight was like water, and the stars fell like rain.

The stars hang in the night sky, while the scattered lights on the ground are reflected on the horizon, creating a spectacular scene where the sea and sky merge into one.

Having changed into a set of casual clothes in the style of a night parade of demons, the fox-eared girl, even more 'dazzling' under the bright and refreshing moonlight, displayed an extreme girlishness that was completely inconsistent with her mature figure and appearance.

'Walking on the beach with my sweetheart...'

'Being with my dear, with no one else to bother me...'

'I want to spend this time with my beloved...'

'I want to stay by Sensei's side forever...'

Without the fox mask she usually wore to conceal her thoughts, Wakazama's 'complex yet pure' mind was clearly displayed on her face. Amamiya didn't even need to 'read' her further to easily understand her emotions and thoughts at that moment.

"...Wakazama".

"...?!"

Slightly startled from her 'contemplation', Ruozao paused for a moment before hurriedly replying, "W-what's wrong, darling?"

Seemingly realizing she shouldn't be so surprised, Wakazama quickly added, "Wakazama... has always been by my dear's side, hasn't she~?"

"Sensei's call... as long as Wakazama can still hear it, it will respond no matter how many times it is~"

If only that were true...

Amamiya had seen through Wakazama's true nature of 'high attack and high defense' and did not provoke her further.

After arriving at the observation deck near the beach with Wakasa, Amamiya and Wakasa leaned against the railing and heard the sound of the waves coming from the beach not far below the railing.

Perhaps it was because the sound of the ocean waves naturally possessed a rhythm that calmed the mind, that Wakazama, who had been momentarily startled by the sudden shout, gradually calmed down.

With her back to the direction from which the tide was coming, perhaps 'tired of walking' or simply wanting to stop here, Ruozao used her incredibly convenient large fox tail to pat the steps, sweeping away the sand and dust on them.

Then, she slowly sat down on the steps and looked up at the magnificent and deep night sky above.

The stars either remain frozen in the sky for a long time, or they streak across the sky with long, trailing arcs of light.

The cool moonlight bathed the earth, draping the world under the cover of night in a light veil.

The saying "smoke shrouds the cold water, moonlight veils the sand" perfectly describes this scene.

Seeing that Wakasa stopped and sat on the steps, Amamiya also stopped and came to the steps, naturally sitting in the empty space that Wakasa had deliberately cleared with her tail.

After Amamiya sat down, he could clearly feel that the girl next to him was getting warmer as her heartbeat gradually increased.

Her 'defense' is just too low, Wakazama...

Thinking about the varying degrees of resistance the other students had towards him, and then feeling the 'negative resistance' that Wakazumi had towards him, Amamiya felt a... very subtle sense of contrast.

The 'big fox' beside him was known in the outside world as the 'Crimson Calamity Fox'...

While it can occasionally exhibit a considerable degree of 'aggression' when it's near me (to anyone other than myself), it is completely 'negative' when it comes to me alone.

"What's wrong, Wakazama?"

Wakazama remained silent, but slightly tilted her body to the side, resting her weight on Amamiya's shoulder.

After his cheek was brushed back and forth several times by the fox ears on the girl's head, which were trembling with excitement, Amamiya finally heard some replies that weren't exactly replies.

After a long silence, Ruozao suddenly began to mutter to herself in a low voice.

'Hehe... As long as my dear is by my side, even if I'm wearing clothes like this and standing in the cold night, I won't feel cold...'

'Wakazama has always strived to "cause as little trouble as possible for her beloved... ever since the moment her beloved first showed her concern."'

'Wakazama, I'm all done...'
