I became a heart-stealing thief in Azure Files

Its expressive power is also quite amazing—although it can currently only affect objects with weak vitality and no "mysterious" protection, as its abilities grow, perhaps it will gradually be able to affect all targets?

Shaking her head, Huaye gradually felt a sense of emptiness and disorientation as she used the 'Black Knight' ability repeatedly.

It felt like staying up all night for several days in a row without rest, which forced Huaye to give up the idea of ​​continuing to try to trigger the calamity with the 'Black Knight'.

'The Masked One's mental strength increases through battles and repeated use of the Persona...'

'Chief Hanaya rarely needs to fight, let alone engage in otherworldly battles that consume even more mental energy.'

Therefore... there is only one way to better train one's mental strength and control one's Persona.

'That is, constantly trying to expend and then replenish one's mental energy... In this way, just like exercising physical strength, mental energy will also grow through repeated cycles.'

After parking the car, Hua Ye yawned and dragged her exhausted body back to the "Sanctuary Tower" where the Federation Student Council was located, carrying her spoils.

Upon returning to her 'private territory,' Huaye immediately hid all the otherworldly spoils except for [Apocalypse: Conquest].

She then immediately contacted "Caesar Life" and briefly revealed that she had obtained an "otherworldly weapon" under the pretext of customizing a special holster.

Caesar's interest in "alien weapons" is nothing new.

Ever since Trinity and Charlene brought this type of special equipment to the forefront, the Kaiser Group has been trying to conduct some research and "create value."

Now that he has acquired a unique weapon from another world, he can naturally use it as a bargaining chip to obtain more 'cooperative benefits'.

Of course, this weapon, whose nobility and sharpness could not be concealed no matter what, could not be given to Caesar.

This is my own "trophy".

However, perhaps a few of these otherworldly spoils could be selected as bargaining chips to exchange with Caesar...

After contacting Caesar, Huaye, sitting behind the desk of the defense director, no longer felt uneasy. Instead, she felt a sense of fullness and satisfaction she had never experienced before.

Stroking the [Apocalypse Conquest] in her hand, Hua Ye narrowed her eyes, pondering the weapon's 'enhancement plan'.

……

"Those who are manipulated by the fires of ambition..."

Forget your foolish ambitions.

Putting down the controller, the blonde girl with cat-ear headphones pointed angrily at the gradually darkening screen and the emerging message "You are dead," exclaiming in frustration, "This 'Law Ring' boss is way too difficult!"

"That wretched ominous demon..."

After venting her anger by grinding her teeth, she picked up the controller she had previously put down and began to control the character who had been resurrected from the 'Blessing' point.

"I was too greedy last time, but I can definitely do it this time, I'm sure I can pass this time..."

"..."

Looking at her older sister's "bad skills, love of playing games, and getting carried away," Xiao Lü squinted and sighed.

Knowing that this situation was unlikely to stop anytime soon, and that there was still some time before her sister was "completely defeated by the BOSS," Xiao Lü simply stopped paying attention.

After kicking off her slippers and squatting on the sofa with her tablet, she opened a webpage and first checked the [Artist Exchange Group] she had recently joined.

This is a small group with only three people at present. Apart from Xiao Lü herself, the other two 'artists' are from Chi Dong.

They were people Xiao Lü had met when she participated in a CM convention in Haruhabara.

Upon opening the group chat, the first thing Xiao Lü saw was the activity of two artists who had been dormant for a long time.

[Meryl: So, should we go to Shalai or not...? The 'Special Comic Con' is coming up soon before the fall school season.]

[Akira Momiji: I really want to stay home, but I'm also worried about...]

Akira Momiji: If I can catch a glimpse of some 'special collection' this time...

Seeing these messages, Xiao Lü changed from sitting to lying down, crossed her legs and dangled her feet, which were covered in black stockings, as she lay on the sofa and used the armrest as a pillow to start typing.

[Pixel Art: Hey, are you two teachers planning to participate in the 'Autumn Back-to-School Special'?]

[Pixel Art: Is there anything in particular you're worried about? If either of you has any concerns, please feel free to tell me, and I might be able to offer some answers.]

[Merilu: Ah... Mr. Midori has appeared too.]

[Merilu: Hmm. There are indeed some things that bother me...]

[Meryl: Mainly... we want to go see Xialai.]

[Akira Momiji: But we're unfamiliar with this place, and I'm a little afraid of being kidnapped by Sensei...]

These two messages immediately made Xiao Lü stare intently.

Why are they suddenly talking about Xia Lai?

Something's not right... I feel like I need to test the waters.

[Pixel Art: To both teachers, I understand your feelings. When I first encountered Sensei, I had similar concerns... but I quickly discovered that Sensei isn't such a 'filthy' adult at all.]

[Pixel Art: If the two teachers are interested in going to Xialai, we can meet up in Springhall first, and then I will lead the two teachers to Xialai... But I could like to know why the two teachers suddenly mentioned Xialai?]

After typing rapidly, Xiao Lü stared intently at the screen, eagerly awaiting a response.

[Merilu: This is... a bit complicated.]

[Meryl: It's about gathering material, you know, gathering material...]

[Meryl: Well, how should I put it... some anonymous readers from regions like Millennium, Trinity, etc., criticized my doujinshi about Sensei for being 'somewhat detached from reality,' saying that doing it with Sensei is just not the same feeling at all...]

[Meryl: Then I messaged them to ask how they felt, and they stopped responding again...]

Upon seeing this message, Xiao Lü frowned even more deeply.

Midori knows everything about the 'creative fields' of Teacher Meryl and Teacher Akira.

If Ms. Meryl's experience is true, then it means... a student has actually given their own account?!

Furthermore, anonymous accusations have emerged in multiple regions, including Millennium and Trinity. Does this mean...?

Sensei has lovers with 'special relationships' in various colleges... In fact, these 'lovers,' whose identities she doesn't even know yet, have far richer experiences than she has...

Despite her many doubts, Xiao Lü's hands moved quickly.

[Pixel art: 'Creative works should draw inspiration from reality,' which is understandable.]

[Pixel Art: If the two teachers are willing to come to Xia Lai, I can inform Sensei in advance... To be honest, Sensei and I have a certain level of relationship.]

[Meryl: Then I'll leave it to you...!]

【Akira, Momiji: +1】

Regarding this news... we still need to test the waters.

Perhaps sending these two teachers to Xia Lai would be a good way to test the waters...

After closing the group chat, Xiao Lü solemnly got up from the sofa in her slippers.

The huge game development department, themed "Velvet Room," suddenly felt like it was surrounded by enemies.

Xiao Lü first looked at her sister, who was being humiliated by the "BOSS - Ominous Demon," and immediately shook her head.

impossible……

Given her personality, it's unlikely that her sister has any special relationship with Sensei.

If so, one should be able to clearly perceive it.

Then she looked at a metal cabinet nearby with a sign that read "YUZU".

As the head of the game club, the gentle and sweet-natured Yuzu might indeed 'run away'... or rather, she would be completely defenseless against Sensei's proactive attack.

Then there are Alice and Kai, who are currently not in the development department...

Alice is a robot, so there's nothing to worry about.

Kay's words...

Tsk.

Wearing slippers, Xiao Lü arrived at the door and planned to open it to go for a walk outside.

As soon as she opened the door, she was drawn to a group that looked quite unique.

Students wearing engineering department uniforms, but with their bodies ramrod straight, making them look less like members of the engineering department, are being instructed by another black-haired, fox-eared girl.

"Have you almost mastered the process?"

"Ok!"

The tallest and most commanding blue-haired girl in the 'group of four' stood tall and said, "Thank you, Coach."

The fox-eared girl chuckled and waved her hand, "I'm not exactly a coach yet."

"Next, I'm going to raise questions."

"You should also get ready."

Chapter Seventy: If a rabbit is left alone, it will be eaten...?

As dawn broke, the Rabbit team girls, exhausted from the previous day's work, were enjoying their breakfast with great spirits.

The thought of another full day of patrolling awaiting her and her team members filled the white-haired girl, who was sitting at the dining table maintaining proper table manners, with a surge of energy... but at the same time, she also felt a sense of powerlessness.

The Rabbit team's ambitions lie elsewhere.

If possible... Miyako would actually prefer to participate in the follow-up actions of the 'Clover' project rather than repeat the same boring patrols day after day.

"Whoo~~~"

After taking a delicious sip of the "Lubran Coffee" specially prepared for each of the "little bunnies," Menghui sighed contentedly.

"It's so comfortable staying in Xia Lai~~"

It's really comfortable.

Saki and Miyako, who had also finished their coffee, silently agreed in their hearts.

Although they had only been in Xia Lai for less than half a month... they had already almost completely adapted to life in the Xia Lai residential area.

Aside from the fact that they have to go out on patrol every day, which is a bit of a 'waste of talent', the girls in the Rabbit team generally enjoy this comfortable life.

—At least, it's better than the previous life of camping in Rabbit Park and not knowing where the next meal would come from.

The only slight drawback is that the Rabbit team currently lives in Xialai, but they don't have a clear "official status"... or rather, they are currently in a special state of "having the substance but not the name".

It is true that they live in Xialai, but they have not been fully assimilated into Xialai...

Over time, this kind of relationship can make people feel uneasy.

After dinner, the girls from Rabbit Squad began preparing their gear.

As the 'front line', Miyako and Saki were responsible for charging into battle, and they already had a very strong physical foundation.

They can certainly handle patrol missions of this caliber.

Moe, on the other hand... started complaining again at this point.

"Another patrol is coming up..."

"Every time I come back from patrol, my clothes are soaked with sweat and sticky...it's a bit uncomfortable..."

Pulling at her summer top, which was stretched to be tight and full, Moe could almost feel the sticky, humid heat from being soaked in sweat when she returned.

Saki was slightly disgusted by Moe's complete disregard for etiquette.

"They're not as physically strong as us, and they have to carry such a heavy burden when we're on patrol. They could be doing logistics... so why do they have to come with us on patrol?"

Miyako can provide the answer to Saki's 'problem'.

She saw it clearly.

It's probably all for the "occult hacker" concept that Sensei mentioned before, right?

As the hacker, technician, and logistical support for Rabbit Squad, Moe doesn't have to go on patrol with them like she does with Saki and Miyu...

She could have stayed in Xia Lai and been in charge of mental work such as inventorying supplies, preparing logistics, and collecting and organizing data.

However, as Sensei previously stated, becoming a "mystical hacker" requires more than just the ability to summon and use Personas; a certain level of physical strength is also necessary...

So, whether it's to train her physical strength or simply to maintain a better-looking 'attendance rate', Moe has been going out on patrol for the past few days.

Miyako knew very well why Moe behaved so 'rudely,' and was even slightly envious.

Because she truly considers this place her "home," she can do whatever she wants, just like she would at home.
