I became a heart-stealing thief in Azure Files

At that moment, Yukino took her own action—

Under Amamiya's slightly surprised and unexpected gaze, Yukino imitated what Amamiya had done in the evening, 'surprise intimate contact'.

She flipped over and straddled Amamiya's lap, her legs tightly wrapped around him, her hands resting on his shoulders.

"...Yukino?"

Ignoring the calls, Yukino gradually drew closer, her wine-red eyes filled with seriousness.

“Sensei, next, please…”

"Accept me..."

Chapter 93 Gongzi: I was here first...

(I don't know where to find the missing chapters either.)

It wasn't until late at night, having found a sense of security, that the fox-eared girl finally drifted off into a deep, peaceful sleep.

The chasm of desire is insatiable, and so is the chasm of 'security'.

After struggling a bit, all he got in return was the subconscious reaction of the sleeping girl hugging him even tighter. Amamiya sighed silently and gave up on the idea of ​​continuing his... no, I should say, searching for Miyako in the latter half of the night.

Yukino gained enough 'security'.

[He's developed a special relationship with Yukino...]

There's no going back...

【Seven Degrees Yukino (Faith) ★★★★★★☆☆☆☆】

[★6 Bond Ability "Cunning and Unfettered Fox" is now unlocked!]

'Yukino... is surprisingly easy to win over...'

Is it because the strategy employed is similar to PUA (Pick-Up Artist) tactics...?

Amamiya, being used as a body pillow, looked up at the ceiling, waiting for the short yet long summer night to end.

As dawn broke and the east turned white, the fox-eared girl, who had slept soundly all night, groggily loosened her embrace.

Awakened by her long-established SRT biological clock, she subconsciously opened her eyes, and a halo suddenly appeared above her head, then flashed several times as if there was a malfunction.

"Well……"

Rubbing her eyes, Yukino sat up, trying to move her aching body and clutching a thin sheet.

"..."

As her mind gradually cleared, Yukino quickly recalled what she had done the day before.

'In this way, a "connection" was established with Sensei...'

'That way, the Fox Squad shouldn't be abandoned, right...?'

The unease in my heart appeared briefly, but was then dispelled by a solid, reliable sense of reliance.

“Sensei, next…”

After checking her physical condition and finding that she could still move around normally with difficulty, Yukino glanced back at Amamiya with a flustered and embarrassed expression.

"I...I...I'll take a shower first, and then..."

"To avoid alerting the Fox Squad... I... I'll go first..."

"gone back."

Despite her deep reluctance, Yukino had no choice but to proceed according to the pre-arranged plan in order to prevent Hana from noticing anything unusual about the Fox Squad and to prevent the other members of the Fox Squad from discovering her problem as the 'captain'.

"Yukino knows what to do and say when she gets back, right?"

Amamiya got up and sat down next to the girl, gently touching the back of her head where her hair was disheveled, and then rubbing her textured fox ears.

Yukino did not resist Amamiya's series of actions... On the contrary, she even narrowed her eyes and enjoyed the moment.

"Mmm." The girl, her eyes half-closed in enjoyment, replied in an intimate tone, "The Fox Squad will temporarily cooperate with Huaye's operations, but they will also be prepared to disengage from Huaye at any time... and turn the tables on her at a crucial moment..."

“Sensei, after that…”

Amamiya took the initiative to speak and answered seriously, "We'll keep in touch regularly."

【~???~】

"Ah."

After confirming the situation, Yukino got up wearing Amamiya's 'boyfriend shirt', got out of bed, went to the wardrobe, and checked the state of her clothes scattered around.

Fortunately, my clothes weren't too dirty...

Otherwise, I really wouldn't know how to get through this.

After putting away her clothes, Yukino headed to the bathroom in the residential area.

Amamiya took advantage of this brief free time to go to "Angel 24" and buy Yukino a whole breakfast bento box.

The relaxed feeling of morning life gradually dissipates with the warmth brought by the rising sun.

After putting on the clothes she had come in, Yukino, who looked completely normal and whose expression seemed to have returned to normal, took the bento from Amamiya and smiled as she said goodbye to him.

"Goodbye, Sensei..."

"Um, if it's possible... please apologize to Yuriko on my behalf, and to everyone in the Fox Squad..."

After leaving behind this seemingly profound remark, Yukino hurriedly departed, carrying her bento box and a heavy sense of 'security'.

Speaking of which... Yukino and Yuriko do have some kind of relationship.

Before officially joining the Millennium Engineering Department, Yuriko was also a member of SRT and had some connection with the Fox Squad... Did the Fox Squad have some grudge against her?

Let's confirm with Yuriko again later.

With this idea temporarily added to his to-do list, and with Alona's help, Amamiya began to handle the various official duties that the Federation Student Council assigned to Sharai every day as usual.

Efficiently handling official business always makes one lose track of time. When Amamiya looked up from the mountain of documents, the sky outside the window had been covered by dark clouds.

After summer arrives, Kiwatos seems to enter a rainy season with frequent showers.

However, Amamiya felt that the rain today was not simply because it was the rainy season in Kivotos.

Noticing the change in the sky, Amamiya glanced at the students on duty for the day...

She is Kayoko, who possesses the [Emperor] Arcana.

Hmm... since it's the Emperor card, that's not surprising.

Kayoko, Koko, Hisaki... these assistants who possess the [Emperor] Arcana always seem to have a special connection with rainy days.

Just as Amamiya was reflecting on this, a rhythmic knocking sound came from outside the door.

"...Sensei?"

"I'm on duty today... Are you inside?"

It was Kayoko's voice.

Amamiya raised her voice slightly: "Come in."

The sounds outside the door stopped for a moment, and then with a creak, the door was pushed open.

A girl with white hair, black bangs, and red eyes peeked in and quickly checked the situation inside.

After confirming that she was the only person in the room besides Sensei, she relaxed slightly, slipped into the office, and gently closed the door behind her.

Amamiya observed Kayoko the whole time, and after confirming that the hem of the girl's clothes and skirt, as well as the only small bat wing, were wet, he couldn't help but laugh and tease, "Kayoko really does have a connection with 'rainy days'."

"Both of my two days on duty at Xia Lai provided opportunities to create memories together...and both times it was on rainy days."

【~???~】

Kayoko paused for a moment, then lowered her head and chuckled, before giving Amamiya a gentle smile: "Sorry for bringing bad weather to Sensei..."

"I hope Sensei isn't 'annoyed' by me bringing bad weather every time?"

"how come……"

Amamiya waved his hand, then answered seriously, "I personally really like rainy days."

"Because on rainy days, you can sit by the window, listen to the rain outside, concentrate, or let your mind wander and think about what you can do when you're all alone."

What can one do when all alone...?

Kayoko, who had just put down her bag with the portable umbrella hanging on it, was momentarily dazed upon hearing those words.

From this perspective... I can indeed feel a strong connection with Sensei.

"Of course, another reason I like rainy days is because rainy days and Kayoko are very compatible. I can create some memories with Kayoko that may not be precious, but are definitely valuable."

【~???~】

"Yes, yes..."

This is...

Was it a genuine expression of emotion?

There's something... unusual about it.

The misty drizzle outside the window fell silently on the glass, with only the faint sound of the wind able to seep into the room through the window.

After putting away her belongings, Kayoko familiarly and gently sat down in another spot prepared next to Amamiya and began to help Amamiya with the various tasks for the day.

Even with Kayoko's help, the increasing workload due to the Akawa Festival meant that it wasn't until noon that the tasks were finally completed.

After gathering all the documents, Amamiya leaned back in her office chair and stretched.

"All the normal tasks have been completed..."

"Now, let's talk about the 'phantom thief'."

Kayoko stretched her stiff and slightly sore wrists and nodded leisurely.

—In fact, since receiving the duty roster message from Alona yesterday, Kayoko had already realized that today's 'duty' was not so simple.

"I promised to become a phantom thief... but Sensei, what should a phantom thief do?"

"...Like the 'Phantom Thief Chronicles' game developed by the Millennium Game Development Department, stealing evil and corrupt hearts and desires to maintain peace in another world?"

Amamiya hesitated for a few seconds before slowly nodding.

"The specific circumstances may be slightly different... but it can be understood in a similar way."

"Kayoko, would you like to come with me to the 'Federal Student Council' next?"

Chapter Ninety-Four: The Federal Student Council - The Lost City

What will the "Impression Space" corresponding to the Federal Student Association look like?

The "Tower" that gathers everything; the most prosperous "city" in all of Kivotos; or perhaps... the "Garden of Eden" that harmonizes heaven and hell?

Before taking Kayoko into the [Impression Space] corresponding to the Federation Student Council, Amamiya had some expectations for the scenery of this other world.

However, as the fluctuations of black and red gradually subsided, the scene presented after the world was redrawn was somewhat unexpected.

With her red eyes slightly narrowed, after quickly adjusting to the momentary dizziness, the first thing Kayoko did was to keenly observe her surroundings.

The "Sanctuary Tower," which was still surrounded by starlight a moment ago, has changed its appearance. Although it is still a tall tower, the ancient style of the building, which is similar to the "Lost Land," is really far from the style of the Federation Student Council in my memory.

What came into Kayoko's view was an ancient city, built around a tall tower, in a light blue hue, bearing very serious marks of water erosion.

The building was covered with coral, barnacles, and moss;

Beautiful seashells were used as embellishments;

Dark green seaweed grows in the empty spaces of the street, swaying in the wind;

The wreckage of the sunken ship and the scattered treasure chests with mahogany and gold frames seemed to be everywhere. Some of the treasure chests had even been knocked over. When opened, gold coins and all sorts of other valuable items were scattered all over the ground, appearing even more magnificent on the shallow sand.

"Is this... the Lost City...?"

Kayoko, who was ready to fire her weapon at any moment with her tactical pistol at the ready, was stunned by the azure world before her, which was submerged in a deep sea, and was speechless for a moment.

Amamiya, leaning against a pillar beside him that had become the ruins of an underwater port due to the transformation of the other world, looked away and sighed with considerable shock, "It really is the 'Lost City'."

"I never expected... the other world corresponding to the Federation Student Council would be like this..."
