I became a heart-stealing thief in Azure Files

Moe nodded in agreement, "Mmm... let's just consider it advance 'training'..."

Miyako, who had also stripped down to only her underwear, looked at Amamiya.

“Sensei... come and change your clothes too.”

Under the increasingly 'malicious' gazes of the little rabbits, Amamiya had no choice but to change her clothes as well.

At that time, the little rabbits were already discussing the issue of 'resource allocation'.

After staring at the two bathtubs for a moment, Miyako thoughtfully said, "There are only two bathtubs... It seems that at least one member will have to bathe with Sensei..."

"And Sensei is an adult... The bathtub that is spacious for us seems a bit cramped for Sensei..."

"so……"

As she spoke, she looked at Moe and Saki and stated the 'analysis results' as a matter of course: "...This time, I will wash with Sensei."

Saki, already feeling ashamed, had no intention of refuting.

Surprisingly, Moe didn't have any objections.

'Hehehe... as long as this "forbidden boundary" is broken...'

As the saying goes, once there's one, twice there's three...

In a tender, silent atmosphere, Moe and Saki were the first to enter the tub.

Miyako carefully entered another bathtub, and then the little rabbits all tensed up slightly, pressing their bodies down so that only their necks and above were above the water.

"sen, Sensei..."

Miyako's voice, tinged with tension, came through: "It's...ready..."

Knowing there was no turning back, Amamiya sighed with her back to the 'little bunnies', and then slowly turned around.

In the instant he turned around, he 'heard' the echoes of different, intense thoughts through his "mind-reading" (Mimori Bond).

Saki stared wide-eyed: 'Sensei's muscle definition...'

Coming to her senses, she quickly averted her gaze, but couldn't resist stealing another look: 'It looks like... a marble sculpture.'

'Speaking of which... there's bath salts, Sensei shouldn't be able to see it, right...?'

Thinking of this, she lowered her body a little further, gripping the edge of the bathtub, becoming slightly wary.

Moe squinted, scanning back and forth without any hesitation: 'As expected... Sensei's sense of security...'

'An adult's physique... hehehehe... it's really tempting.'

After her initial感慨 (feeling of mixed emotions), she had some doubts: 'Can I really control Sensei by taking a bath together?'

The most 'subtle' yet also the most 'direct' is still Miyako.

There have been far too many "rabbits" appearing outside of the Rabbit team lately...

'I can't calm down...'

The wild thoughts eventually turned into a beautiful vision of 'unease'.

'If... this impromptu "March Hare" operation can win over Sensei and make them value us more... that would be great.'

Under the intense gaze of the little rabbits, Amamiya slowly entered Miyako's bathtub.

A petite, white-haired girl, whose beauty could be described as 'soft and fragrant,' immediately pressed herself against Amamiya's back, nestled in the misty steam.

Using water vapor to cover up shyness and awkwardness...

It really does have a natural instinct like a rabbit using tall grass to cover itself.

Feeling the soft, delicate touch emanating from Miyako, Amamiya tried her best to think about serious matters and maintain a rational mindset.

For a time, the only sounds in the makeshift bath were the faint sound of water and the occasional splash.

The enchanting atmosphere lasted until Saki's voice broke the silence.

"If nothing unexpected happens, tomorrow will be Operation Clover..."

"Let's take this opportunity to talk about 'operations'?"

Chapter Twelve: Dancing with Rabbits

"Let's take this opportunity to talk about 'operations'?"

It must be said, she has a rigid and straightforward personality...

Saki, who's also a bit 'tsundere', is a master at ruining any romantic atmosphere.

Her words left Moe in the same bathtub and Miyako in another bathtub feeling helpless, and some even gritted their teeth in secret.

I could have taken this opportunity to secretly develop a 'bond' with Sensei...

But then they started talking about battle plans...

Almost simultaneously, Saki and Moe each gave the bewildered Saki a look that said, "I hate that you're such a blockhead."

Saki, who was glared at by both of her teammates at the same time, was a little confused: "...?"

Amamiya, having found a topic of conversation, readily agreed: "Indeed, we should talk about Operation Clover."

Holding onto the edge of the bathtub, feeling the touch of the girl in the same tub wrapping her arms around his waist and pressing against him from behind, Amamiya maintained a calm amidst the erotic atmosphere and, taking advantage of the topic Saki had brought up, began to talk about the 'operation plan'.

"First... let's confirm the ultimate goal of Operation Clover."

A soft cough, simultaneously swaying Miyako's restless, eagerly exploring hand, and Amamiya calmly stated, "The main objective of Operation 'Clover'..."

Meeting Miyako's slightly displeased gaze, Amamiya remained unfazed: "It was about infiltrating the Valkyrie Public Security Bureau headquarters and stealing crucial intelligence about Valkyrie's bribery."

"First of all, it is necessary to make it clear that... this intelligence will most likely not be stored in electronic form, but will be stored in a key classified vault."

He grasped Miyako's hands, temporarily distracting the girl with their intertwined fingers, causing her to lose her composure due to embarrassment. Amamiya continued, "Now, the next step is to steal the key information..."

"First of all, if it's just stealing documents like 'ledgers,' then it's actually meaningless."

"Because...the accounts were definitely faked."

"The batch of weapons recently acquired by the Valkyrie Police Department from the Kaiser Group was mostly stored under the guise of low-priced weapons or other 'living supplies'."

"Even if you steal the accounting documents, they won't serve as any 'key evidence.'"

Amamiya's gradual analysis and narration made the two 'little rabbits' in the other bathtub slowly take it seriously.

Miyako lost interest in continuing her 'little tricks' and began to follow Amamiya's train of thought.

Without Sensei's analysis... her initial idea was to steal the most crucial "accounting statements," find clues within them, and use them as key evidence to force Valkyrie to compromise.

But now it seems... if it's just financial statements, it's far from enough of a 'blow' to Valkyrie.

But... what kind of files should be stolen to be truly important?

The little rabbits each began to ponder.

After a brief moment of thought, Saki was the first to offer her opinion based on the 'tactical knowledge' she had learned from the textbook: "So, what we should steal isn't the accounting statements, but rather... the Valkyrie's armory, the documents related to the records of goods entering and leaving the warehouse and the records of withdrawals?"

Moe had a flash of inspiration and, based on Saki's suggestions, offered further speculation and questions.

"But if documents can be forged, these paper documents are also quite likely to be inaccurate... or rather, it is almost certain that paper documents alone are inaccurate."

"If there are electronic copies of the documents on file, we need to confirm whether there are any discrepancies or inconsistencies between the electronic and paper versions."

"Determine the truth or falsehood of one side, and then..."

Completely unaware that her hand had been released, Miyako, holding onto the edge of the bathtub, continued, "Then, we still need to actually infiltrate the armory to confirm the condition of the goods."

Amamiya clapped his hands and praised, "Hmm, very good analysis. It seems that everyone in the Rabbit team is constantly growing."

【~???~】(Miyako, Moe, Saki)

"Now, the crucial target is... the 'electronic document of the armory's entry and exit records.' Moe, you're a hacker, tell me... if such an electronic document truly exists, how would you obtain it?"

With a basic concept in mind, Moe's thoughts were completely scattered. After a moment of thought, she said, "If such an electronic document really exists... to prevent the leakage of confidential information, such a document should exist on a device that is completely offline... or on a confidential intranet."

“Such an almost ‘isolated’ mechanical device is impossible to access using conventional hacking methods—it is necessary to fully utilize the nature of hackers’ ‘social engineering’.”

"Infiltrating in a physical sense means finding a device with sufficient browsing permissions and hacking out the data through a direct connection."

After thinking for a moment, she added, "Then... since it's a tense infiltration mission, it's not possible to search for each file one by one and download specific files... it's necessary to use some 'high-speed protocols' to directly copy all the data stored on the device, and then come back to start screening which ones have problems and which ones don't."

"good……"

Amamiya smiled and said, "Moe is right. I'll give Moe a 'special reward' later."

【~???~】(Cute illustration)

"Hehehe... I'll look forward to it then."

Clearing her throat, Amamiya then asked her second question under the watchful eyes of the three little rabbits: "With this information... how do we establish a 'chain of evidence'?"

Encouraged by the cute drawing, Miyako, feeling competitive, immediately answered: "We can sneak in and take pictures to open some key warehouses... to take photos for documentation and confirmation."

"In addition... we can also sneak into the archives to obtain logistics and cargo accounting documents."

"Even if the data on goods entering and leaving the warehouse could be falsified, logistics-related information... is not that important, and the possibility of it being falsified is not high."

Although it was still a bit far-fetched, it hit the nail on the head.

Amamiya raised his hand and ruffled Miyako's wet hair: "Miyako is becoming more and more like a captain."

【~???~】(Miyako)

Operation Clover established a chain of evidence that was quite 'terrifying' for Valkyrie...

Valkyrie might then compromise and stop trying to expel Rabbit from Rabbit Park.

Furthermore, the redevelopment of Rabbit Town may be put on hold for some time as a result...

I sensed the growing affection emanating from Saki.

……

I don't know how long it took, but I finally got through this crisis of bathing with the 'little bunnies'.

To endure the chaotic thoughts in her mind and the intentional or unintentional harassment from the 'little rabbits', Amamiya was tormented and exhausted, both physically and mentally.

The night is dark.

In preparation for tomorrow, both Miyu, who had taken a bath earlier, and the other three rabbits, who took a bath later, needed to conserve their energy for tomorrow's operation.

Moe yawned, seemingly a little regretful: "Ah... we have to go tomorrow, I can't stay up late tonight..."

Saki, feeling a bit sleepy, chimed in, "Let's get some rest and prepare for tomorrow's operation..."

Emerging from the bathtub, wrapped in a towel, Miyako, whose hair had just been dried by the exhausted Amamiya beside her, immediately noticed Miyu, who was guarding the campsite.

Although he was so sleepy that he was nodding off, he still managed to stay awake and guard the camp.

Miyu visibly relaxed when she noticed that the team members had returned from the 'bath'.

Everyone's expressions seem a little strange...

'Did she get dizzy from soaking?'

'But it's good that you're alright...'

After confirming that Miyu was alright, Amamiya decided to leave.

I'm exhausted from dealing with these little rabbits today, I should go back and rest...

Just as Amamiya was about to leave without saying goodbye, she suddenly felt three 'fragrant breezes' approaching from different angles.

Then... he was sandwiched tightly between three little rabbits.

"Hehehe... Now that things have come to this, how can we let Sensei leave with us..."
