I became a heart-stealing thief in Azure Files

The cicadas' chirping outside the window gradually faded, and the sun was obscured by thick summer clouds.

Although it's still hot and humid, it's now a good time to go out.

Let's invite the students on duty to go together...

Thinking of the duty roster, Amamiya glanced sideways at the relatively conspicuous calendar and the list of expected duty rosters for this month in the office.

The frame symbolizing today is marked in red, with a gray-white rain cloud-shaped halo hanging above it.

It's Miyu?

Speaking of which... ever since the accidental incident where a snake crawled into Miyu's clothes not long ago, Miyu, who had gradually opened up to herself, has been like a frightened rabbit lately, both anticipating and actively avoiding time alone with herself...

Should we take this opportunity to talk to Meiyou?

Immediately taking action, Amamiya glanced around the office and immediately noticed Miyu's signature gray-blue trash can.

...I don't know why, but such a large trash can in the room, when not noticed, easily 'blends in with the environment,' but when noticed, it looks completely out of place with the other structures in Xia Lai's office.

Arriving at the trash can, Amamiya tapped on the lid and then took a half-step back.

Almost simultaneously, a timid little head with long, straight black hair and rabbit ear earrings popped out of the trash can.

"Sensei...?"

Clutching at the edge of the trash can, Miyu asked timidly, "Is there anything I can do for you...?"

The purpose of the duty roster is to help Sensei share the burden.

...At the very least, you shouldn't put pressure on Sensei while it's working.

Since the beginning of summer, Miyu has moved into Xialai with the Rabbit team members and has been living in Xialai for a period of time that is neither too long nor too short.

As the student on duty, Miyu knows exactly what she needs to do.

But she can't do it... so she lacks confidence.

Whether it's paperwork or various fieldwork tasks that require temporary field trips, they are all too 'unrelated' to Meiyou's expertise.

If I can't do the paperwork well, and if I try to do fieldwork without the help of other Rabbit team members, it will be a complete disaster...

Therefore, Miyu chose to 'minimize her presence' in order to meet the most basic condition of the duty student: 'not adding pressure to Sensei'.

"The paperwork is mostly done... Miyu, want to go for a walk with me?"

"Help me share some of the pressure."

【~???~】(Miyu)

In other words...

Does Sensei need itself?

It wasn't fieldwork, we just went for a walk together...

"Um……"

Although it's very hot, if I can keep Sensei company and help relieve her stress...

Holding onto the edge of the trash can, she changed into a light, semi-transparent white dress to suit the season, her silk stockings covering her delicate white pantyhose. This 'little white rabbit of summer' hesitated, slowly stepping out and leaving what she considered her 'safe zone'.

Then, she turned around and took her sniper rifle from the gun slot inside the trash can, adjusted it slightly, and held it in her arms.

Then... with her head down, lips pursed, and face slightly flushed, she stood before Amamiya with an aura that made her seem like a docile and lovable little animal.

"Rabbit4 is... is ready...!"

Having mustered the courage to say what she needed to say, Miyu then began to wait.

She waited for a while but didn't receive a response, which made her a little confused.

"Which one...Sensei? Why, why are you staring at me like that..."

Amamiya smiled, didn't reply, and looked away.

Rabbits are herbivores...

Or rather, among the 'four little rabbits' of the Rabbit team, only Miyu is a complete 'herbivore'.

Compared to Miyako, Moe, and Saki, who are of varying degrees of aggression... Miyu, who never takes the initiative, definitely needs some 'special care'...

By the time she takes the initiative to do something, it will already be too late, won't it?

"Let's go."

After patting Miyu's head to signal her to follow, Amamiya checked one last time before leaving to make sure the office was completely locked.

After confirming everything was correct, Amamiya took Miyu, who was hesitant to speak and repeatedly tried to tug at his clothes but ultimately couldn't make up her mind, and headed to the garage.

Even after fastening the passenger seatbelt, Miyu realized that if she didn't say something, she would truly miss this opportunity. In the end, she rubbed her calves and tightly gripped her skirt, calling out to Amamiya before he departed.

"Um...Sensei...!"

Amamiya, who was about to start the car, stopped what she was doing: "Hmm?"

"Regarding what happened a while ago... I... I have something very important to say to Sensei...!"

Oh... so you're still bothered by that little misunderstanding from before?

Although it was indeed because of this 'little misunderstanding' that I was forced to bathe with the bunnies, and then I was tormented by Miyako, Moe, and Saki all night long...

However, in some ways it's not a loss.

After all, if it weren't for the incident where Miyu had a snake crawl into her clothes, there wouldn't have been the subsequent 'sharing a bath' incident, and her relationship with the Rabbit team wouldn't have progressed so rapidly.

"Because of that reason, Sensei was misunderstood... I'm so sorry..."

A simple apology is meaningless.

So, after apologizing, Miyu immediately added, "Because I... Sensei was mistreated by the Rabbit team..."

"Also, it's to thank Sensei for the special care they've given me all this time, so, so..."

"If Sensei wants me to do anything, or needs to do anything to me... I'll do anything..."

Unsure if she had clearly expressed her intentions, the girl became so nervous after speaking that she dared not turn her head, much less meet the gaze directed at her by Amamiya.

Amamiya leaned against the steering wheel, carefully examining the 'cute bunny' in the passenger seat beside him.

After a pause, Amamiya asked meaningfully, "Anything... is that okay?"

When he asked that question, Miyu recalled the various negative delusions she had about Sensei's series of good deeds when she was first "picked up" by Sensei.

'Why is Sensei being so nice to me? Could it be that he just wants to lure me to Xia Lai and then lock me in the basement to use as a tool for his venting...?'

'Sensei gave me a new set of clothes, does that mean they want to change out of my old clothes...'

—Even before we were familiar with each other, I actually had such a negative thought that was very impolite to Sensei…

Having spent so much time together, I knew long ago that Sensei wasn't that kind of person...

But at some point, my 'negative delusions' gradually transformed into positive 'expectations'.

From the very beginning, 'What should I do if Sensei treats me like this...'

Now, it's like, "If Sensei had the same special feelings for me as I have for Sensei, I would love it to have the same special feelings for me."

When did my thoughts begin to change?

"Anything... is fine..."

Shrinking her neck slightly, Miyu nodded slowly and softly.

"Is it okay to say something like 'want to eat the rabbit'?"

Meiyou was stunned, and for a moment even doubted that she had misheard.

"……Eh?"

Why would Sensei say something like that...?

Could it be... that Sensei also harbors... special feelings for me?

【~???~】(Miyu)

The air conditioning was already on in the car, but Miyu still felt her cheeks suddenly burning hot.

Subconsciously adjusting the neckline of her dress, Miyu's slightly trembling voice, though perhaps driven by a lingering unease, concealed a subtle excitement and anticipation.

Rabbits can't escape their fate of being eaten...

"Sen, Sensi... Would you like to... enjoy it now...?"

Amamiya chuckled and shook her head, then changed the subject: "Speaking of which... last time when the Rabbit team took a bath together, Miyu, who was being 'punished,' missed this time..."

"Shall we resupply Miyu after we get back today?"

"Rabbits taste better after being washed..."

Slightly disappointed, Miyu's heart raced again.

Shall we take a bath together with Sensei...?

As her heart pounded, Miyu also vaguely sensed... that this was an important opportunity specially reserved for her.

Maintaining a strange tension and anticipation, Miyu smiled faintly.

The bond between Miyu and him has deepened...

【Xiaze Meiyou (Hermit) ★★★★★☆☆☆☆☆】

“I…will, will be prepared…to be enjoyed…”

Chapter Sixty: Even a rabbit will bite when it's desperate!

Rabbits are creatures that become very dependent on their owners once a bond is established. Once they are no longer fed or spent with their owners...

The rabbit might feel lonely, and it might even die because of it.

They are docile and clingy...

At least, she straddles his lap, nestled in his arms, clinging tightly, constantly rubbing his slender, delicate, and shapely body, trying to completely merge into his embrace, and occasionally looking up at his bunny with a pitiful and timid gaze... that's how it is.

"Sensei..."

Gathering her hair, the girl's red eyes held a mixture of uncertainty and worry: "Don't you... feel hot...?"

The adult's robust and strong chest was slightly rugged; although it possessed a chiseled strength, it also carried a just-right warmth and lingering affection...

Miyu, who thought she was bold enough, wanted to stay in this state a little longer, but she was also a little afraid that her willfulness would cause trouble for Sensei.

or……

He swallowed hard, feeling the hard object pressing against his lower abdomen.

Sensei would be itching to 'eat the bunny' right now...

"Is it hot? Rather than saying it is hot, it is more like Miyu is a 'multi-functional bunny' with both cooling and heating functions when she is snuggled up in my arms."

【~???~】(Miyu)

Amamiya smiled and stroked the top of the girl's head in his arms: "This is the question I should be asking Miyu... Does Miyu feel 'safe'?"

"Eh……"

Meiyou seemed a little lost and somewhat troubled.

Although it felt like a rabbit throwing itself into the arms of a big bad wolf, surprisingly... there was a strange sense of security in it?

I don't know how to describe this feeling...

Seeing Miyu struggling with her dilemma, Amamiya was instantly overcome with a "cute destructive urge," so he brushed aside Miyu's bangs and kissed the girl on the forehead.

"Eh?"

【~???~】(Miyu)

The slight dampness and coolness she felt on her forehead startled her at first, and then small circles appeared in her eyes.

It feels like I've been licked by a 'malicious big bad wolf'...
