I became a heart-stealing thief in Azure Files

First, he went to Xia Lai's office building and checked whether the office was locked.

After that... he went downstairs to the "Angel 24" convenience store and made his routine visit to the little blonde girl, Xiao Kong, who was yawning and stocking up at that time.

Miyu's presence was so faint that she wouldn't attract attention unless she made a point of speaking. Sora, following behind Amamiya, didn't notice her.

Seeing Amamiya arrive to pay with vegetables, produce, and household goods, the blonde girl fluttered her tiny white wings and greeted her cheerfully. She quickly picked up the barcode scanner and began to count the items.

"Sensei, good evening!"

"Angel24 convenience stores should be able to recruit quite a few staff members who can take turns working shifts recently, which will free up a lot of time..."

“Is that so?” Amamiya smiled, her gaze falling on the various small boxes labeled with a diameter of [0.01] placed on a hidden small shelf.

Picking one up casually, Amamiya shook it in her hand before nonchalantly stuffing it into the pile of items waiting to be paid for: "Looks like Sora won't be so busy anymore..."

Xiao Kong didn't notice anything unusual and took the items one by one to pay for them.

It wasn't until she noticed something amiss with the invoice that the girl blushed.

"Eh... '.0.01 caliber bullet'...?"

Xiao Kong didn't understand what this was, but subconsciously sensed a strange danger.

With her face flushed and heart pounding, her little wings flapping wildly, and her mouth dry for a while, Xiao Kong finally stammered out the bill.

"That, that..."

"sen, Sensei..."

"May you have a prosperous night in battle..."

Chapter Sixty-Four: The Professor's Big Hand

(Savings: I spent the whole night "enjoying" a delicious little rabbit.)

Eat your fill, take a bath, go to sleep...

The story of 'Rabbit' can be summarized in such simple words.

It wasn't until dawn, after using up a box of ".0.01 caliber bullets," and after giving his "thoughts on his preferences," that the somewhat disoriented little rabbit, who had managed to stay awake until now, finally fell into a peaceful sleep.

After touching the girl's cheek, Amamiya immediately began to 'clean up the battlefield'.

Miyu's 'instantaneous tolerance' isn't very good... she can easily react extremely to even the slightest stimulus.

But Miyu also has her own unique advantage – her 'persistence and perseverance' are quite remarkable.

...This perfectly aligns with the characteristics of herbivores: "low aggression and high endurance."

[They've developed a special relationship...]

There's no going back...

[COOP Improvement!]

【Kasumizawa Meiyu (Hermit) ★★★★★★★☆☆☆】

[★7 Bond Ability "Bunny's Show of Weakness and Perseverance" is now unlocked!]

Looking at the "rich results" of the improved bond, Amamiya breathed a sigh of relief.

Yesterday, Lanwu led the helmet team members into action...

We should see initial results today.

Anyway, we've now entered the "main plot" phase where we need to be prepared for any "unexpected situations," so we can't act recklessly...

Amamiya didn't carelessly go on a 'vacation' to another academy.

With the intention of relaxing, after washing up, Amamiya drank "Soma" and headed straight for Xia Lai's office building.

While processing the various paperwork sent by the Federal Student Association today, Amamiya also made sure to check out the news channel run by the Kronos News Department.

— Kronos Academy always manages to obtain information and write reports as soon as possible, as long as the information can be reported.

It's safe to say that if you want any firsthand news that can be reported, you can't go wrong by checking Kronos's channel.

"This is the Kronos morning news~ Sorry for the wait~~"

As soon as the screen of Shitei no Hako was opened and switched to the corresponding channel, Amamiya heard Shion's lively and energetic voice, which was unique to a 'news reporter' and had excellent emotional control.

"Our reporter, Shion Kawakami, brings you an exclusive report, especially for everyone who's on summer vacation!"

After the screen lights up, images of Shion and Mai appear, sitting in the studio.

After reciting a long string of phrases about 'sponsors' and other such terms to whet everyone's appetite, Shion began to get down to business.

"—Does anyone know the story of how the Caesar Group's logistics points were recently attacked by the Helmet Gang and several other groups of delinquent girls who are not as powerful as the Helmet Gang?"

"Hum hum……"

"It's said that it was a group of delinquent girls who banded together to retaliate against Valkyrie and Caesar's security..."

As Shion finished speaking, Mai, her co-host, immediately followed up: "Kronos Academy received firsthand information. Just yesterday, the Helmet Gang... and a small group of students, a gang of thugs, launched another small-scale attack on Valkyrie and Caesar Security."

"To all ordinary citizens watching the morning news, students from various schools, and other students who are wandering around for various reasons... please be careful when going out recently."

"If you encounter a group of delinquent girls who snatch your belongings and run away, never try to 'help them out'..."

After Mai finished speaking, Shion seamlessly took over the conversation.

"Also, with summer vacation approaching, does anyone have any good ideas for where to spend the summer? Here's a recommendation... currently belonging to Xia Lai, jointly managed by the Hyakki Yagyō (Hundred Nights Parade of One Hundred Demons), Abydos, Gehenna, Xia Lai, and the Federal Student Council, with the participation of the Odyssey Ocean Academy—"

"A 'Resort Islands' specially designed for students!"

"This is a paradise for escaping the summer heat! It's an absolutely wonderful place! If you want to spend your summer vacation but don't know where to go, why not check it out?"

"This isn't a blatant advertisement, it's a recommendation!"

……

After watching the morning news, Amamiya turned off the Shitei no Hako and poked Alona, ​​who was sleeping on the dilapidated classroom desk.

Before Alona awoke, Amamiya withdrew from the Box of Shittei.

Lan Wu's operation this time not only involved members of the Helmet Gang, but also managed to contact several other delinquent girl groups of similar or slightly smaller size...

Then, sensing an opportunity, a small but more elite group of "gangster girls," without understanding what was going on, also began to "take advantage of the chaos."

very good……

It's unclear whether it was Ranmai, Yuriko, or Saki, the 'strategist' of the Helmet Group, who was behind the strategy, or simply a coincidence...

It's always a good thing to muddy the waters.

In order to "suppress" these arrogant and unruly delinquent girls, Valkyrie will definitely be deploying a large number of police officers in the near future.

Responding to an emergency naturally incurs costs.

These expenditures are not entirely meaningless.

After tapping the table lightly and thinking for a while, Amamiya took out her phone, opened momotalk, and sent a message to the contact "The Smiling Professor".

[Amamiya: You did this?]

On the other end of the message, a British-style girl with fluffy, naturally curly hair, blonde hair, and green eyes had clearly been looking forward to it for a long time.

Almost immediately after receiving the message, they responded as if they had already prepared.

[Professor: It's not hard to guess...]

[Professor: Indeed, as 'My Mr. Sherlock' speculated... a little trick was used to stir them up.]

[Professor: 'If Mr. Sherlock doesn't want to be a detective and instead plans crimes, then Miss Moriarty will help him muddy the waters...']

[Professor: This explanation doesn't quite fit the usual logic of detective novels, but it's surprisingly interesting.]

[Professor: How did it go? Did it help Sensei?]

It was definitely the professor's doing...

Amamiya leaned back in his chair, pinching his brow with a slightly helpless expression.

After a short while, Amamiya picked up her phone and replied to a message.

[Amamiya: You did help me, didn't you?]

[Professor: So... what else does my Mr. Sherlock need?]

After frowning at the message for a moment, Amamiya tilted her head slightly and thought about it seriously.

He recalled what Zenkichi Hasegawa, the "oldest member" of the Phantom Thieves, had said when he imparted his knowledge as a veteran of the Special Investigation Department and a "veteran police inspector" to Amamiya and the other members of the Phantom Thieves.

"Firing a gun in another world, without having to worry about tracing the origins of the bullet traces later... In that sense, being a phantom thief is really convenient."

"...Asking me what bullet trace analysis is? You bunch of brats...You've been phantom thieves for so long, and some of you even have sisters who used to work in the prosecutor's office, and you don't even know this?"

"let me see……"

"From a legal standpoint... bullet trace analysis is a crucial piece of evidence that can be used to arrest you 'brats.' However, the report is a bit complicated to prepare, requiring precise details such as which gun was fired and the exact firing result..."

"Although the phantom thief may never acquire this knowledge, what if he does?"

"I advise you brats who act without considering the consequences... before you fire a shot, you'd better estimate the consequences beforehand. If a shadow like the 'Special Investigation Department' exists in another world, maybe they can locate you this way?"

Although Uncle Zenkichi's speech is a bit 'sour', he is actually a generation younger than the members of the Phantom Thieves, yet they get along very well.

The knowledge he teaches is indeed a culmination of accumulated experience and knowledge that cannot be learned through ordinary channels.

With that in mind, Amamiya responded.

[Amemiya: Can you perform ballistics testing for gunshot wounds?]

The professor was a beat slow to reply.

She was clearly slightly surprised by the message.

[Professor: 'Criminals don't need a reason to commit crimes, but detectives need evidence to catch them'... Is that right?]

[Professor: Collect the shrapnel fragments from Valkyrie's side, then compile the data, summarize it, and then put it into a report... right?]

No wonder he's a 'top criminal,' his comprehension speed is just that fast.

[Amamiya: Can I ask you for a favor?]

Professor: Of course.

[Professor: If Sensei requires it... I will try my best to make the data 'formal'.]

[Professor: After all... I'm still counting on 'my Mr. Sherlock' to look after me a little longer.]

After ending her contact with the professor, Amamiya went to the balcony and watered the flowers that Azuko had been growing there, giving them a routine check-up.

'(I)(VII)(VI) It is clear today that I cannot 'move freely'...'

'Then, to further lower Hanaya's guard, let's take her to see the "other world"...'

Chapter Sixty-Five: The Black Market is truly a place where talented people emerge.

In order to lower Huaye's guard, and also to further arouse her greed...

When the time is right, take Huaye to experience the 'scenery of another world' and let her witness its wonders...

This is necessary.

With Saori's 'account audit' event imminent... taking Hana to another world now would help avoid any potential suspicions she might have.

After breakfast, Amamiya immediately contacted the head of the defense office of the Federation Student Council, who was ambitious but incompetent.

[Amamiya: Does Chief Hanaya have time now?]

[Huaya: What does Sensei want with me?]

[Amamiya: I have time today to keep my promise to take Hana to the other world.]

[Hana: I'm free today... Where should we meet? Should Sensei come to find me? Or should I go to Sensei?]

Amamiya definitely couldn't bring Hana, the "master of the hall of impression space of the Federation Student Council," to the Federation Student Council's impression space.

If the master of the hall enters another world, or even the hall of one's own inner desires... then the master of the hall will directly gain full control over the hall, and the power will even be further enhanced.

Don't underestimate Hua Ye just because she's not qualified to be the "master of the hall" yet.

But once she went to the Impression Space corresponding to the Federal Student Council, she experienced a "resonance of desire" with her own shadow...
