I became a heart-stealing thief in Azure Files

After giving a soft "hmm," Miyu retreated back into the trash can, took a communicator from a slot on the inner wall of the trash can, and began tuning the frequency.

While Miyu was contacting the other three 'little rabbits', Amamiya approached Miyu's trash can and, taking advantage of the height difference, observed the inside of the trash can.

The bottom was covered with a layer of carefully collected, dried, and very soft fallen leaves, while the four walls of the trash can were covered with various small items such as binoculars, small water bottles, and walkie-talkies.

Miyu's gun was also stuck vertically in the groove added to the inside of the trash can.

The seemingly cramped and suffocating space is meticulously managed by Meiyou, with all the necessary facilities.

The entire trash can... can only be described as "neat and tidy".

Miyu huddled in the trash can, her rabbit earrings on her head, though not real rabbit ears, looked even cuter than real rabbit ears in this situation.

"Everyone... Sensei is looking for us. Sensei is near my observation point right now..."

"He brought a lot of daily necessities..."

"It's inconvenient for Sensei to carry the supplies to the camp by herself... Please gather around and share the supplies with Sensei..."

Miyu, who was squatting in the trash can, tried to keep her voice down, but Amamiya could still hear her clearly.

Following Miyu's voice, Amamiya looked towards the park in the distance—

The members of the Rabbit Squad, who received the message almost simultaneously, instinctively turned their attention to it.

Amamiya leaned over the rooftop railing and waved to the girls who were looking at her.

For the members of the rabbit team, who had been hungry for almost the entire night and were all looking unwell and listless...

Nothing is more tempting than 'ready-made food' and 'daily necessities'.

Within thirty seconds of Miyu sending the message, the girls in the camp had all responded.

The first one to rush out was Meng Hui.

The 'big bunny' with a lollipop in her mouth has bright eyes, and her exaggeratedly mature figure makes her bounce as she runs, creating a strong visual impact.

Miyako was the next to react.

The 'little white rabbit' who had hurriedly tied her hair up stood there and sighed. After a brief hesitation, she still took action and followed behind Meng Hui.

Finally... it was Saki who reacted.

She seemed hesitant, wanting to rush out with them—but the thought of leaving the camp unattended made her hesitate and give up.

After all, they had been without food for a short period of time, and even though the Rabbit Squad consisted of elite members, they were all somewhat exhausted at this point.

After jogging up the overpass, Moe and Miyako each took turns holding onto the railing, one with her hands on her knees and the other with her hands on her knees, and began to breathe softly.

"Huh...huh..."

Moe leaned against the railing and approached, her eyes fixed on the large bag of various portable food supplies in Amamiya's hand. She was so hungry that her eyes were practically glowing green.

She was panting heavily, partly due to exhaustion, but more so because of the appetite whetted by the colorful food packaging.

"Gulu..."

"What did Sensei bring... Let me see... Wagyu beef bento, sushi, and (swallowing)... instant curry rice..."

"So many flavors I like!"

【~???~】(Cute illustration)

"Hehehe...hehehehe...Sensei's care really does have a honey-like quality, subconsciously making the recipient feel immersed in it..."

Compared to Moe, who was slightly 'disoriented' from hunger, Miyako's behavior was relatively normal.

She carefully examined the various household items that Amamiya had brought.

Even though he had said something in a fit of anger, such as "Sensei, we hate adults like you the most," which could be considered a 'heartfelt confession,' Sensei was able to forgive and forget and help the Rabbit Team when they were in trouble...

Miyako really didn't know how to view the adult in front of her who was handing her something while smiling gently.

From that conversation in the interrogation room, a feeling gradually began to grow in her mind...

Complex emotions.

"Miyako?"

"Ah... um."

Miyako snapped out of her daze, responded, and took the full bag of supplies from Amamiya's hands.

"...Thank you Sensei for your timely help."

【~???~】(Miyako)

After expressing their gratitude, the three "little rabbits," Moe, Miyako, and Miyu, divided the supplies into bags and gradually brought enough supplies for the four of them to last a week to the rabbit team's camp in Rabbit Park.

What should the little rabbits do first after receiving supplies, having been starved for a long time?

The answer is simple.

Indulge.

Before long, small barbecue grills were set up on the lakeside, and portable gas stoves were lit. Smoke rose near the Rabbit Team's tents, creating a lively atmosphere.

After setting up the pot, the little rabbits gathered around the stove, taking deep breaths and sniffing the aroma of the food that was gradually cooking inside.

"Ah... this kind of life where you can eat hot Wagyu beef bento and drink vegetable soup..."

"If only things could stay like this forever..."

"I can't wait any longer..."

"Wait a minute, is it really okay to accept Sensei's kindness so hastily?"

Of the four 'little rabbits,' only Saki wasn't completely blinded by the aroma of the food and showed some doubt.

"Of course it's not good."

With an apron tied on, Amamiya, helping the members of the Rabbit Squad prepare hot food, softened her movements and answered earnestly.

There's an old saying in the Classic of Mountains and Seas: "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime." In simpler terms, it means that 'survival skills are more important and sustainable than material necessities.'

"Saki... and everyone in the Rabbit Squad, there's something else I want to discuss with you all."

The three 'little bunnies', who had already finished their first reheated bento and were enjoying their vegetable soup, slowly looked up upon hearing this.

Meng Hui clicked her tongue: "As expected... there's no such thing as a free lunch."

“Sensei…” She cast a meaningful glance at Amamiya, “What should we do, since we’re accepting your kindness?”

"Could it be... like in an anime plot, that they're going to use us as 'workers to vent our desires'...?"

Amamiya coughed heavily, stopping Moe from escalating the topic to something inappropriate.

"Ahem...! Moe, don't overthink it. The matter we need to discuss is about the Rabbit Squad's work."

Amamiya took a "Angel 24" flyer directly from his jacket pocket and handed it to Saki.

With Saki, who had received the flyer, at the center, the other three little rabbits naturally gathered around and looked at the contents of the flyer.

"A convenience store clerk...?"

"Requires 24-hour shifts... but you can get near-expiry bento boxes from the convenience store for free..."

"There are other rewards as well..."

"Woo..."

Aside from the timid and self-conscious Miyu, who immediately showed natural resistance, the other three little rabbits each had their own thoughts after seeing the promotional message.

[...I sensed Miyako's positive emotions.]

Saki seems to have relaxed her guard further...

[A slight change in Moe's mood...]

The bond with the members of the Rabbit Squad has deepened.

'It seems... my actions have indeed further eroded the rabbit team's vigilance towards me...'

The bond between two stars and three stars... this means that they at least acknowledge their own existence to a considerable extent in their hearts.

In particular, Miyako and Miyu are only one step away from truly opening their hearts to each other as four-stars and from their relationship undergoing a qualitative change as five-stars.

After each had a moment to think, the little rabbits, who had come to their senses, expressed their gratitude to Amamiya.

In the end, Miyako, as the team leader, accepted Amamiya's kindness on behalf of the rest of the team.

"The channel that Sensei specifically found for us... I understand. I will take the team members to negotiate further."

Chapter Forty-Nine: Gehenna's most lowly concubine was...

Gersina's disciplinary committee is always busy.

In order to uphold "justice" with limited resources, the members of the Disciplinary Committee have to run around almost every day, clashing with delinquent girls from all over the country or with local "troublemakers" in Gehenna.

Being wounded or injured in a firefight is a very common occurrence.

however……

The disciplinary committee members, who have always been under a lot of pressure, have recently seen a significant improvement in their 'living conditions'.

The reason is... when night falls, that phantom, dressed in a long black trench coat and wearing a strange but very cool black smoky mask, will arrive on time as he wanders under the night sky.

"Sensei should be coming today..."

"Probably... I'd love to see Sensei in his Phantom Thief outfit!"

"Although I've already seen it in the game... the impact is definitely not as strong as in real life!"

"I got a little injured today... I wish I could get healed by S越漪侕玖六揪衃翏ensei..."

The short-haired girls guarding the Disciplinary Committee headquarters looked at each other and whispered among themselves.

They stayed behind under the twilight lights, their long shadows cast on the buildings appearing indistinct and elongated.

The sound, like the song of a nightingale, drifted and spread, seemingly about to melt into the tranquil night.

Standing in the canopy of a large tree that requires two people to hug, holding onto the branches and watching the disciplinary committee girls interact at the end of the day, as well as their private whispers, I inexplicably felt a sense of 'being healed by the ease amidst the busyness'.

Speaking of which... in the mixed fish sauce...

No, it's that among the "special organizations of the academy," the only one I seem to be closest to is the disciplinary committee member of Gerina.

Besides that, they should be members of the Justice Committee of Trinity.

Then came the members of the engineering department from a thousand years ago, and the members of the Xuanlongmen from the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

Amamiya leaped lightly down, her trench coat fluttering behind her, temporarily transforming into light, dark wings.

After a somersault and a smooth landing, Amamiya's figure appeared in the light, his phantom thief outfit disappearing along with clusters of eerie blue flames.

"what……!"

"It's Sensei?!"

"Sensei did come this time after all..."

"Are you here to see Chairman Hina, or Administrator Ako...?"

"I think they might be looking for Captain Iori..."

"Perhaps they've come to see Health Committee Member Chika?"

"Um... good evening, Sensei!!"

Since Amamiya made no attempt to hide, the usually vigilant Disciplinary Committee members spotted him immediately.

A dozen pairs of eyes filled with longing and admiration were cast upon them. The disciplinary committee members, their cheeks slightly flushed from haste or embarrassment, spoke louder and louder than the last, yet they maintained the "keeping a distance" principle of "Ghena's basic discipline" with great restraint.

A few meters away from Amamiya, the girls formed a circle, looking at him with a reserved yet expectant gaze.

Amamiya: "..."

These 'Disciplinary Committee members' are probably second only to the Justice Committee members in terms of cuteness.
