I became a heart-stealing thief in Azure Files

After sighing, Amamiya got up, unplugged the data cable, picked up the Shittei no Hako, and pinched Alona's cheek.

"What's wrong, Alona? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Arona breathed a sigh of relief when her cheek was suddenly pinched.

"Sensei has finally been woken up..."

"Arona received a warning from Beritas's security software that Xia Lai's network ports, monitoring equipment, and other electronic devices had been attacked by 'unknown individuals'..."

Were we attacked by 'unknown individuals'?

Amamiya immediately shook off her drowsiness, took out her phone, and checked the security app developed by Chihiro that was installed on her phone.

...There really is.

After briefly reviewing the access log data, Amamiya noticed an access log that had been refreshed a few minutes earlier and was clearly marked as having abnormal data or an abnormal purpose.

Who could it be during this time period...?

Surely it's not like Huaye is planning to start something up ahead of time, is it?

Shouldn't.

Hua Ye gives off a feeling more like a spider who would never act unless she was absolutely certain of her success. She wouldn't do something as foolish as raiding the Xia Lai Building at night if she wasn't absolutely certain.

Turning on the monitoring equipment, Amamiya switched between several screens and quickly noticed the 'intruder' blending into the darkness, lurking behind cover and ready to pounce...

It wasn't a 'professional' assigned by Faye, nor was it Caesar... or any other strange force.

Instead, it's... the adorable 'little rabbits' that have lived here for a thousand years...

Thanks to the excellent audio sampling equipment provided by Beritas and the "communication channel anti-intrusion" measures provided by Chihiro, Amemiya captured the conversation records of the "little rabbits" who sneaked into Shalai late at night.

"This is Rabbit1, and the route planning is complete."

Following Miyako's voice was Saki's voice: "This is Rabbit2. Using our scanning equipment, we can detect dozens of network ports that appear to be cameras..."

"Tsk tsk... As expected of Xia Lai, this level of security is truly impressive..."

"Even if we manage to break through Arius's team's defenses, we still have to deal with such tight network security..."

Switching between cameras and watching the little rabbits frolicking in different scenes, Amamiya thought to herself... "Isn't that just to keep you out of trouble?"

Switching the monitoring perspective to the "fake monitoring room" specially prepared at Chihiro's suggestion, Amamiya found Moe's figure, which was not present in the other monitoring devices.

This 'big rabbit' was wearing a shoulder strap and carrying a laptop, with the data cable connected to the computer in the 'fake monitoring room'.

The girl's slender and flexible hands perfectly presented the impression a 'hacker' should have when operating a computer—precise and elegant.

"This is Rabbit3," Meng Hui said while operating the computer, "It will take some time to confirm and crack the security system..."

"Be careful, you must not be caught on camera at this time."

As Moe continued her actions, another window popped up on Amamiya's monitoring screen, a warning message from the security app developed by Chihiro.

Intrusion detected. Should we connect it to the virtual intranet?

'As expected of Chihiro… she's even considered the security measures for the possibility of Xia Lai encountering a network-level intrusion so thoroughly.'

The so-called 'virtual intranet' is a fake network created by Qianxun to disguise itself as a 'successfully hacked' network, used to detect the operational intentions of intruders with insufficient skills... a special [isolation sandbox].

What exactly are these little rabbits going to do?

Amamiya, filled with curiosity, confirmed that Moe had connected while using the surveillance camera to locate Meiyue-;Yiqi?Yichanerer"Jiuyou.

As a sniper, Miyu did not directly invade the Xialai Building like the other three little rabbits. Instead, she found a sniping point near the Xialai Building to cover her retreat.

After switching between several camera angles, Amamiya spotted Miyu hiding in the bushes, nervously observing her surroundings through binoculars.

"Very good... Connection successful."

Then, Meng Hui's slightly joyful voice came through the communication channel: "This way, the surveillance equipment won't be able to 'capture' us anymore..."

Immediately afterwards, Miyako and Moe began to take turns covering each other's movements.

"The operation continues, the target is... the main monitoring center on the same floor as the Xia Lai Society activity room."

"It concerns confirming the senior's action plan for Sensei. This operation must be a complete success..."

Hearing Miyako's 'ramblings' that she inadvertently transmitted into the team's communication channel, Amamiya finally understood the intentions of these little rabbits who sneaked into Xia Lai late at night.

Miyako was still thinking about the incident not long ago when she visited Natsumi at night and ran into Yukino while 'borrowing' the bathroom.

At the time, Yukino used the excuse of "carrying out a mission" to prevent Miyako from becoming suspicious immediately.

However, after returning home, Miyako carefully considered the suspicious points in the incident, and the more she thought about it, the more something seemed off—ultimately, out of concern for herself, she decided to investigate her senior's so-called "mission".

After understanding the little rabbits' intentions, Amamiya looked at the surveillance footage and shook her head with a helpless sigh.

Although their actions stemmed from their own fears, the way they invaded was far too... crude.

From the perspective of the "phantom thieves"... their "team-based intrusion" carries an extremely high probability of being exposed.

It would be better to just bring in Miyu, who hasn't really had much of an impact and has been just observing the situation.

After all... Miyu is a 'concept god' who can't even be recognized by automatic doors and whose presence is so faint that it can be ignored by electronic devices.

At least, Meiyou doesn't even need to perform any complicated network intrusions. As long as she doesn't deliberately make any noise, most camera devices won't be able to capture her.

With Amamiya keeping watch, Miyako and Saki provided cover in front, while Moe followed closely behind. The three little rabbits stealthily made their way to Xia Lai's office.

After standing on either side of the 'central control room' door, the little rabbits exchanged glances. Then, Saki took out her lock-picking tools, while Moe took out an electronic universal key that looked like a card, and they both moved closer to the door.

"The unlocking time for both physical door locks and electronic access control systems must be controlled within ten seconds, otherwise it will trigger an alarm..."

"be careful."

After a tense and exciting 'lock-picking' activity, the little rabbits breathed a sigh of relief and then carefully pushed open the door.

Amamiya naturally switched to the indoor monitoring system in the main control room to observe the rabbits' further actions—

Upon entering the main control room, filled with a dazzling array of electronic devices and constantly playing virtual monitoring screens, Meng Hui, as if she had been prepared, took out a specially prepared USB drive.

After she connected it to the interface, a notification popped up on Amamiya's phone: "Data Copy Request".

To accommodate someone like Amamiya, who has only a basic understanding of hacking and can only operate the app, Chihiro was incredibly meticulous in designing it—even clearly indicating which data Moe wanted to copy.

Amamiya checked the timestamp of the copy request and realized that they wanted to obtain the surveillance data from the day Miyako visited Natsura at night not long ago.

Nothing special happened that day; we just gave the monitoring data to the little rabbits, nothing special.

After some deliberation, Amamiya decided to see what kind of trouble these little rabbits could possibly cause.

Amamiya then agreed to the copy request.

I also sent a virus packet containing Futaba's name, and then Amamiya closed the app.

'What exactly will these little rabbits do...?'

Chapter Two: An unexpected encounter with the railway girl, so adorable it's irresistible, and she can't be defeated no matter how hard one tries.

"Aha……"

"Good morning, Sen, Seni..."

Perhaps it was because I was disturbed late at night, and then I was on tenterhooks almost all night...

The AI ​​girl, performing her usual 'wake-up service' in the morning, didn't seem as energetic or vibrant as before.

Yawning, Alona pinched her sleepy cheeks to perk herself up, and her first thought was to check on the 'night raid' on Xia Lai last night.

“Sensei…nothing ‘special’ happened back then, right?”

Spitting out the mouthwash and wiping her mouth, Amamiya shook her head at the tablet in front of the vanity mirror: "Nothing special."

"Last night, the rabbit squad launched a 'night raid' on Xia Lai, with the aim of obtaining the day's surveillance data."

The Rabbit Squad... for monitoring data?

Alona tilted her head in confusion, but then stopped caring.

Since it's the Rabbit Squad... then it's really not a special case.

The Rabbit Squad is currently the second special squad that is closest to Sensei, is 'homeless', and is most likely to be recruited into Charlene.

How could they possibly do something with the primary goal of harming Sensei?

Since there's nothing to worry about in this matter, let's proceed with the normal procedure and confirm today's action plan...

Alona took a carton of strawberry milk from the drawer of her desk, took a small sip as usual, and waited until Amamiya finished all her morning washing up before excitedly saying, "Let's confirm today's schedule as usual!"

"Sensei, today's itinerary... is to go to the Onmyo Club, where one of the Hundred Demons Parade takes place..."

"To learn more about the 'Ninjutsu Research Club' and get to know the members of the Yin-Yang Club...?"

Are there any other emergency contacts?

On the screen, Arona sipped her strawberry milk and checked it again and again—until she had completely flattened the carton of strawberry milk before tilting her head back, seemingly still wanting more.

"Arona has confirmed repeatedly that there shouldn't be any urgent contact needed!"

"Sensei, we can begin now~ If anything unexpected happens, Alona will notify Sensei immediately!"

After finishing her interaction with Alona, ​​Amamiya put the Shittei Box in her shoulder bag and headed to the high-speed rail station near Shalai that leads to the Hyakki Yagyō (Night Parade of One Hundred Demons).

After having her ticket checked and entering the station, Amamiya found her seat and then immediately observed the trains that were running in the morning and had few passengers boarding.

Amamiya raised an eyebrow unexpectedly after noticing that the interior 'decor style' was different from the carriages he usually rode in.

Speaking of which... a significant portion of the railway in Kivotos is operated and maintained by the Highland Railway Institute.

After students and other passengers boarded the train, the figures of a pair of green-haired twin sisters who usually seemed to be traveling together appeared at the end of the carriage.

Wearing a sky-blue uniform resembling the uniform of a prison guard in a velvet room, the Highland Railway Academy uniform, a black skirt with blue patterns, and white pantyhose that accentuated her petite figure, she was somewhere between beautiful and delicate, dignified and cute.

Green hair, golden eyes, long curly hair, and that strange 'radio wave' gesture of raising her hand to imitate an antenna or a train whistle...

All I can say is, she's absolutely adorable.

[Assistant: Hikari Tachibana/Railway Twins (older sister)]

Arcana: The Star (XV. The Star)

[Assistance Relationship: Not Unlocked]

"……?"

The observations from the "third eye" surprised Amamiya even more.

She looks so 'cute and immature,' but she's actually the older sister?

Amamiya naturally looked at another girl with pigtails, wearing the same uniform and white tights, but wearing shorts instead of a skirt, which made her look even more energetic.

With the same elf ears and arrow-shaped tail, the formality of the railway academy uniform couldn't suppress her innate cuteness...

[Assistant: Nozomi Tachibana/Railway Twins (younger sister)]

Arcana: The Devil (XV. The Devil)

[Assistance Relationship: Not Unlocked]

'The one who looks and gives off a slightly more mature vibe is actually the younger sister…'

This peculiar first impression reminded Amamiya of another pair of "game duos" she knew—Momoi and Midori.

Momoi's interactions with Midori are similar... Momoi, the older sister, is more 'energetic and lively,' while Midori is more mature and has a more mature older sister vibe.

Do the Kiwatos twins share the common characteristic of being "more unpredictable as the older sister and more mature as the younger sister"?

During Amamiya's observation, the "Railway Twins," who entered the carriage from the far end, had already begun their "duty."

"Ticket checking will begin soon!"

"Passengers, please keep quiet!"

—In fact, ticket checking should not be done by them, but by regular train attendants from the Highland Railway Institute.

However, since they don't have much to do usually and don't mind doing trivial things, the girls also have a habit of "spending a lot of energy doing things that seem interesting".

Checking tickets and observing interesting passengers is their occasional 'daily activity'.

The twin sisters approached from a distance and began checking passengers' tickets.
