I became a heart-stealing thief in Azure Files

In this situation, Saki couldn't help but be moved by the scene.

It wasn't just Saki; Moe and Miyako were also somewhat envious and jealous.

Having accompanied Amamiya almost the entire time, they could clearly see this student from a thousand years ago, named Maki Kozue, and Sensei 'arm in arm', then suddenly cross that line, and then become all lovey-dovey...

What made them grit their teeth was that, at the moment of being 'attacked', Maki, who seemed carefree, was completely defenseless and was easily and directly conquered by Sensei!

At this moment, this is what the little rabbits are thinking.

Saki: 'Why don't you resist a little, show some restraint...'

Moe: 'Hehe... I have to say, as expected of Sensei. His methods for seducing beautiful female students are so effortless, how many times has he done this before...?'

Moe: 'Hehehe... But to be able to be conquered by Sensei like this, it feels...'

Miyako: 'Although, at the moment, this student named Kotoko Maki doesn't seem to have the same close relationship as Sensei and the Rabbit team members... I'm still so envious...'

After their reflections, they turned their attention to Miyu, who had only returned to the group around noon, looking somewhat dejected, as if a pitiful, thick barrier had been erected between them.

Perhaps because she was still in a sensitive period, Miyu, who was studying the floor with her head down and was particularly sensitive to eye contact, immediately noticed that the atmosphere was unusual.

The black-haired rabbit swallowed weakly and stiffly raised its neck.

"W-What happened...?"

"..."

"..."

"..."

The other three girls in Rabbit Squad simultaneously looked away.

Saki shook her head, her face slightly flushed, and sighed with a mixture of envy and pity, "No wonder Miyu couldn't resist..."

Moe chuckled softly, chewing on her lollipop, "After all, Sensei's flirting skills... tsk tsk tsk, how could innocent Miyu resist..."

Gongzi did not speak.

'Next time, I need to make Miyu give me a signal in advance...'

The "caring yet subtle" looks from the other members nearly caused Miyu, who was already feeling a bit lost, to 'overload' on the spot.

“Um, um…I…”

The Rabbit team members, preoccupied with their own thoughts, tacitly changed the subject to avoid making the conversation more awkward.

"Cough cough..."

After clearing her throat to get attention, Moe asked a crucial question: "Should we... still go?"

Given the current situation, it's clearly not advisable to continue tracking this...

This is a self-governed area that has existed for thousands of years, and it is filled with surveillance cameras and various high-tech equipment.

The Rabbit squad is 'suspiciously' following us here... which is already extremely dangerous.

But if they follow them directly onto campus, or even to the student dormitories...

If anything goes wrong, the Rabbit team, which has not yet truly joined Shalai and obtained Shalai recognition permissions, could easily be targeted by the millennia-old violent organization, C&C.

Although it's somewhat disgraceful to say...

Given the current situation, the Rabbit team has no chance of winning against C&C.

As the team leader, Miyako had many thoughts running through her mind.

After a moment's thought, Miyako decided that since she had started following him, she should try to follow him to the end.

"In the name of Srt's mission, attempt to continue tracking."

Hearing this, Saki wasn't surprised at all. Flexing her wrist, which had been bruised from being hit earlier, she muttered under her breath, "Using Srt's residual permissions for this kind of weird thing... is that really okay?"

Despite some reservations, Saki was prepared to continue following up.

Moe was slicing the lollipop stick with her teeth, her voice slightly muffled: "...So everyone's planning to keep following me, right? Then I'll get the electronic access control system that's been fooling me for ages ready, and also get me a set of rain gear..."

Based on their previous camping experience at Rabbit Park and their knowledge of SRT, the Rabbit team members, who all had extensive outdoor camping experience, knew very well that this rain probably wouldn't stop anytime soon.

"We're currently in a shopping mall. They should sell rain gear and some basic camouflage equipment here..."

As the team leader, Miyako issued the 'combat orders': 'Everyone, spread out and find the necessary tools. We'll meet here in half an hour.'

"Operation 'White Radish' begins now."

Meng Hui didn't do anything. She sat down on a nearby staircase and started fiddling with her personal computer.

Besides her, Miyu, Miyako, and Saki all went downstairs immediately to search for and buy basic supplies.

……

Under the small glass canopy where the rain couldn't reach, Amamiya leaned against the wall, which was gradually becoming damp, and silently watched the rain, which had only weakened slightly compared to the beginning but was still very stable.

After observing for a dozen seconds, he glanced again at the red-haired girl with double buns, who had to take off her coat because it was wet. Her thin summer dress looked a little flimsy in the rain.

She, who is usually very mischievous and lively, now has a different kind of tranquility. She squats on the ground very close to the rain curtain amidst the sound of the rain, watching the raindrops fall on the ground, hugging her knees, and looking at her blurry reflection in the shallow layer of water that has accumulated.

There were so many unexpected things happening today...

Sensei's agreement to go graffiti together was completely unexpected;

The rapid development of the relationship with Sensei was completely unexpected;

Even this rain came 'unexpectedly';

Even though the whole day wasn't over yet, the unexpected events I experienced felt like more than a whole lifetime.

Ok……

Is it also a special kind of "miracle in the everyday"?

Maki stared blankly at her reflection in the water curtain.

Feeling her legs getting a little numb from squatting, she stood up with a 'whoosh' and then staggered backward.

Almost simultaneously, Amamiya straightened up and supported Maki's lower back, shifting her weight onto his chest.

really……

The sense of security I felt the moment I was 'caught' was unprecedented.

The red-haired girl blinked and chuckled, "Believing in Sensei was definitely the right decision~~"

Amamiya ruffled the two buns on her head, briefly making eye contact with the girl who was looking up at him from an odd angle. He then smiled gently and said nothing.

【~???~】(Maki)

Maki didn't 'steady her balance' and get up. Instead, she leaned against Amamiya's chest in a slightly ambiguous way, making a 'picture frame' gesture with her thumbs and forefingers at a 90-degree angle.

"Hiding from the rain with Sensei...it seems like inspiration is about to strike again..."

"If we could turn this scene into a gray graffiti of a rainy day... hey, that would be a great idea!"

Imagining herself drawing doodles with Sensei, the girl smiled and said, "Sensei, what do you think?"

Amamiya answered calmly yet without hesitation: "Maki and I are of one mind."

【~???~】(Maki)

"But graffiti on a rainy day... it's bound to be another super-sized graffiti that's very difficult to draw well..."

After a moment's hesitation, Maki then heard the sound of vehicles approaching from afar through the rain.

Maki suddenly realized that she couldn't stay this close to Sensei any longer.

After quickly 'escaping' from Amamiya's embrace, Maki deliberately ran outside the rain and then retreated, letting herself get a little wet to reduce the possibility of being 'suspected'.

The vehicle had a clear destination and had already begun to slow down before it arrived.

Soon, a ride-hailing vehicle with the Beritas graffiti logo came to a stop on the opposite side of the road with its windshield wipers on.

The passenger door opened, and a white-haired girl wearing a long trench coat got out of the car and immediately opened a transparent umbrella. She then crossed the road and came to Amamiya and Maki's side.

Through the rain, Amamiya also saw another blonde girl wearing glasses sitting in the driver's seat, trying to peek through the rain.

Amamiya withdrew her gaze from Tama and greeted Haru, who was approaching with an umbrella.

"Sensei..."

The gray-haired, green-eyed girl smiled gently and naturally handed him a folding umbrella.

"We've come to pick you up. Let's go back to Beritas together."

Chapter 76 What's it like to spend the night in Beritas?

The rain continued into the night.

Amamiya casually accepted the Monster Drink offered by the gray-haired girl beside her, but didn't drink it. Instead, she sat by the window, watching the 'skyscrapers' outside gradually light up, their lights appearing somewhat blurry in the rain, forming a continuous expanse.

"Sensei..."

I heard the 'pop' sound of a can being opened and the sound of small sips of drink coming from beside me.

The gray-haired girl naturally sat down to the side, her green eyes filled with a hint of gossip based on curiosity: "What happened to you and Maki today?"

"Why did Maki hesitate and evade the question when we questioned her...? Did something 'unspeakable' happen?"

Amamiya turned her head at the sound and looked at Haru, who was sitting comfortably with her legs crossed, ready to listen to the 'little story in the rain'.

"Qing, are you really curious?"

Shaking the beverage can in her hand, Amamiya's words carried a hint of ambiguity, as if to say, "If Haru knew, who knows what might happen."

The girl immediately closed her eyes, somewhat conflicted.

"Actually, I don't have to be that curious..."

Following Amamiya's example, Haru shook the Monster Energy drink can in her hand, then suddenly frowned.

"Oh... it's gone so quickly."

"It's raining right now, so it's not convenient to go out and buy things..."

"Xiaoyu and Maki each had their own thoughts... One left under the pretext of looking for musical instruments and recording equipment, while the other wanted to take a shower and change clothes quickly because she got soaked in the rain..."

As she spoke, the gray-haired girl casually crushed the beverage can in her hand, then twirled her hair and sighed softly.

With her legs crossed and her body slightly leaning back, Qing stood up, supporting herself on the windowsill with both hands. Then, wearing slippers, she went to a small refrigerator, opened it, and checked the beverage inventory.

Amamiya, sitting by the window, watched Haru rummaging through the refrigerator door, and her already slightly hunched back slumped even further.

After standing in front of the refrigerator for a while, she finally closed the refrigerator door in a daze.

"there is none left……"

Amamiya looked away and examined the Monster Drink that Haru had handed her.

This type of beverage, high in caffeine and sugar, can quickly boost energy and is indeed a favorite among many mental workers who need to use their brains frequently and whose mental energy is often insufficient.

But it's not to the point where it's so extreme that people "can't live without it"...

After being 'disoriented' for a short while, Qing lightly backed away, then lay back on the beanbag chair, staring blankly at the ceiling.

Amamiya weighed the bottle of Monster Ace that Haru had handed him earlier, and after thinking about it, decided to give up the idea of ​​returning it to Haru.

Without enough sugar and caffeine, Qing, who was in "energy-saving mode" and a little distracted, didn't even bother asking for the drink she had given herself earlier...

Perhaps this is also the girl's understanding of "spilled water cannot be gathered up again"?

Amamiya left the rain-drenched window and went to the back of the beanbag chair where Haru was lying. She leaned down and poked the girl's naturally fair and delicate cheek, which had a unique feel due to staying at home for so long.

"Well……"

Haru mumbled a vague "hmm," her gaze towards Amamiya already slightly unfocused.

Leaning against the sofa, rhythmically poking her cheek, Amamiya asked curiously, "Haru's caffeine intake is truly astonishing... You've already drunk two cans in just a short while, haven't you? Aren't you worried about your health if you consume so much caffeine in a single day?"

"Because it requires long working hours, and working all night is not the norm..."

Qing answered listlessly, her few words revealing the bitterness of her situation.

Even in the Millennium Technology Academy, which is known for its abundance of geniuses, Qing is one of the few outstanding genius girls.

—Some of the advanced instruments currently in use for millennia come from the Engineering Department, a small part from the Special Phenomena Investigation Department…and most of the remaining instruments, which benefit almost every aspect of daily life, have Qing's presence.
