I became a heart-stealing thief in Azure Files

With a lollipop in her mouth, Menghui answered without any nervousness, "We still have another 'trump card' to play."

"Okay... do it like this again... done."

With a 'whoosh', the heavy, round metal door opened.

The three little rabbits in front of the door looked at each other, rubbing their hands together in anticipation.

"let's start……"

Gongzi lowered her voice and gave the order with the composure of a captain.

"...find, enter, or directly copy any target file."

The three little rabbits silently and quietly entered the vault and began searching through the filing cabinets one by one.

At this moment, Meng Hui gently reminded her, "Remember not to 'close the door behind you' here. Although the electronic access control can open it, this door also has a double security system. If you close it from the inside, it will be difficult to open it again."

Miyu, who instinctively wanted to close the door behind her, froze on the spot, slowly withdrawing her hand, still shaken.

Closing the door behind you is indeed a good habit, in most cases.

But sometimes, you have to restrain these 'subconscious habits'.

Clutching the "Hermit" card tightly, Miyu quickly calmed herself down.

The little rabbits in the picture have entered the 'boring' phase of constantly and rapidly flipping through documents.

Seeing this, Amamiya temporarily withdrew her gaze and looked at Moe, who was standing to the side, her mind highly focused and ready to provide support at any moment.

After confirming that Moe was temporarily unable to attend to this matter, Amamiya opened the car door and quietly left.

'Next... let's greet the members of the Fox Squad and get them moving too...'

Chapter Fifteen: What is a 'mystical hacker'?

On a dark and windy night without a moon, the ambient light is not particularly bright.

However, whether there is light or not makes no real difference to Amamiya.

after all……

How could the "Phantom Thief of Hearts," who roams in the darkness, be blinded by darkness?

Leaving the Rabbit Squad's evacuation vehicle, which was ready to evacuate at any moment, Amamiya walked toward another nearby armed vehicle with an all-black paint job and windows blacked out by an anti-spy coating.

Leaning against the car door, Amamiya slowly knocked on the car window.

The hazy moonlight was gradually obscured by the starry night clouds, and the silent vehicles were 'awakened' by Amamiya's actions.

The privacy screen was temporarily shut off, and the soft light inside the vehicle illuminated a group of 'little foxes' ready to go.

Fox1, with her black hair and red eyes, sat in the driver's seat, her gun placed in a slot below the driver's side door. She lay back in the car seat, wearing headphones, intently observing the performance and reactions of the Rabbit team's 'juniors' on the in-car screen in front of the driver's seat.

A pink-haired, fox-eared girl dressed in a black summer night casual dress sat in the passenger seat of the car. Hearing the noise, she lowered the privacy screen and met Amamiya's gaze through the glass.

Then, the girl wiggled her fox ears as a greeting and gave Amamiya a knowing smile.

In the back seat sat Aoi and Kurumi, equally ready for action. Aoi lay back, clutching her sniper rifle, her eyes half-closed, lost in thought. Noticing Amamiya's gaze, she first looked at Yukino in the driver's seat, then her eyes darted back to Amamiya.

Is this a joke about his relationship with Yukino?

Next was Walnut. The girl, who was maintaining her rifle, clearly noticed the gaze, but only paused for a moment before continuing with her work, pretending not to have noticed.

"This is Fox2, Sensei... Good evening."

After Nicole took the lead, the two 'little foxes' in the back seat saw that their captain was still focused on the car's screen. Yin Kui straightened up and tapped the base of the driver's seat with her toes.

Hu Tao, however, spoke in an awkward or distant tone, tinged with a touch of arrogance, "This is Fox3. Sensei called us here at this time..."

"It shouldn't just be about showing us how the younger generation performs, right?"

At this moment, Yukino, who was in the driver's seat, had also taken off her headphones and noticed the changes outside the car.

“Sensei… um, it’s been a long time…”

She casually placed the earphones on the dashboard and hurriedly got out of the car. After walking around the car, she stood in front of Amamiya with anticipation and a slightly guilty look.

When the Fox Squad members last gathered and interacted with her, Yukino's behavior was incredibly 'stiff and cold'.

But now... she has already established a 'special relationship' with herself.

The contrast is so great that it can even be described as 'an iron tree blooming'.

—Last time, Yukino was a cold 'iron tree', but this time she 'bloomed'.

As before, Amamiya calmly placed his hand on Yukino's head under the gaze of the group of 'little foxes', and gently rubbed her fox ears while she was blushing and looking so happy that her tail would wag like a propeller.

"So, less than half a month has already felt like a very long time to Yukino."

【~???~】(Yukino)

The unease that had been building up inside her was released in time, and Yukino simply remained silent, continuing to receive the affectionate head pat.

Her unusual attitude drew meaningful or surprised glances from Yin Kui and Hu Tao, who were sitting in the back seat of the car.

The first to consider it was Oto Aoi.

'How could this be...? Last time, the captain's attitude towards Sensei was...'

'Oh? Judging from this situation... could it be because Sensei has completely won over the captain?'

Nico twitched her fox ears and smiled gently in response, "Maybe it's because Yukino-chan has started to rely on Sensei? Not seeing 'important people' for a while definitely makes time feel very long."

'Furthermore... the vice-captain's attitude towards Sensei is also...'

A sniper must have keen observation skills.

As the sniper in Fox Squad, if Otoko couldn't sense the obvious change in the captain and vice-captain's attitude after Sensei's arrival, then she would truly be a wasted sniper.

The next to react was Walnut.

After a moment of surprise, she suddenly understood.

'Although the captain's change in attitude reveals that he has poured out all the pressure in his heart and has completely chosen to rely on Sensei...'

'But I never expected the captain to be so dependent on Sensei…'

'Furthermore, even the gentle and kind vice-captain's attitude towards Sensei is...'

'No. The vice-captain's attitude towards Sensei seems to have remained unchanged, but his affinity for Sensei seems to be increasing day by day.'

"So..."

The girl, lost in thought, cast a furtive, suspicious glance at Amamiya.

Before coming, she thought this was just another mission assigned by the Federal Student Union's defense office.

So, it turns out that Sensei called them this time?

—Explosives riot police must have a strong sense of danger.

'Wait... so now, are Team Fox and Sensei completely aligned?'

Everyone has noticeably slowed down their approach to Sensei, and has even become more proactive…

'Then I will too...'

'No, no, what are you thinking about?!'

Patting her cheeks to stop her 'daydreaming', Hu Tao's gaze gradually became more intensely curious.

'What is it about this adult... that makes him so charming?'

'Why……'

Even after getting out of the car, Yukino could clearly sense the increasingly strange gazes coming from the back seat, and feeling a little overwhelmed, she coughed lightly.

Seeing this, the considerate Nicole immediately opened the passenger door and then moved to the driver's seat herself.

Amamiya naturally entered from the passenger seat first, squeezed among the 'little foxes', and sat in the temporary seat they had specially prepared for her.

Then, Yukino sat in the passenger seat and closed the door.

On the car's screen, the rabbit team's infiltration and file-searching process was still being broadcast live.

But the 'little foxes' inside the car had no time to observe; instead, they were all alert and focused, waiting for Amamiya to assign them the next task.

"Sensei... what do you need us to do to assist you by calling the Fox team here at this time?"

Clearing her throat, Amamiya maintained her sincere attitude of "let's speak frankly," and began with a string of keywords that surprised the other three members, except for Yukino.

"Let me be frank... The ultimate target of this operation is the Defense Office of the Federation Student Council—the head of the Defense Office, Hikari Shiranui."

"That is... your current 'boss'."

"In short... this 'Clover' project, named by Team Rabbit, is more than just an audit."

"This is a powerful punch to Shiranui Hanaya."

"This iron fist will first smash into the head of the Valkyrie Police Station, and then burn all the way down to Huaye."

"And this plan... requires your cooperation."

As soon as he finished speaking, Amamiya could clearly sense that the 'little foxes' inside the car fell into a silent hushed silence.

Yukino now completely trusts Amamiya, Sensei's foresight and decisiveness, and knows exactly what kind of 'clown' Hanaya Shiranui is. Her silence is mainly to give the other members enough space to think.

As for Nicole... she had long anticipated this day would come.

I just didn't expect this day to come so quickly and so 'ordinarily'.

Walnut and Otokui then began brainstorming sessions of varying degrees.

Their impression of Huaye wasn't bad, but it certainly wasn't good either.

However... as 'veterans' from SRT, they all saw the 'tactical value' and even 'strategic value' of doing this after some thought.

Srt is still in a state of disuse... and this special operation, while not enough to kill Valkyrie Academy outright, will leave it 'teetering on the brink' for quite some time.

From a malicious perspective, the Valkyrie Police Department lost its ability to maintain order for a period of time, which may remind everyone of the good old days when Srt was still around.

From a benevolent perspective, the Fox and Rabbit teams could also take advantage of the Valkyrie Police Department's inability to maintain order to "maintain order free of charge" in the name of the Srt, thereby increasing the Srt's influence and reputation, which would accelerate the Srt's reconstruction process.

From a tactical perspective, isn't this a crucial opportunity for the Fox team to take another step closer to Huaye?

—As for why we want to take things a step further with Hanaya?

That's because the closer you are, the more accurate and deadly your stab will be.

Even from a strategic perspective...

This is also a perfect opportunity to…pick out the “cavities of the Federal Student Council”.

Earlier, at Huaye's instigation, the Fox team had attacked the Federal Student Association without any reason, resulting in several members being seriously injured and hospitalized, and the Federal Student Association's operational capabilities were also affected.

The Fox team is currently in a "fault" situation, meaning they still have value to Huaye, and Huaye has no need to reveal that the attackers were the Fox team.

Once she does this, or the incident comes to light, Fox's team will face repercussions from the Commonwealth Student Council.

Unlike the Rabbit team, whose members have a clean record, the Fox team lives a life of constant uncertainty, always at risk of being thrown into jail.

So... is there a chance to make amends?

some.

Right now... isn't that it?

They are still nominally Hua Ye's team...

But this 'backstabbing' is, logically and emotionally, enough to make 'Fin Eight Things' furious? What reason do we have to refuse? Is it necessary?

During the time that Amamiya remained silent, the girls of the Fox Squad thought about many things.

In the silence, Amamiya heard two voices indicating that their bond relationships had improved.

……

I felt invigorated by the walnut.
