I became a heart-stealing thief in Azure Files

'call--'

A shooting star, leaving a trail, flew backwards into the sky, launching Ajinko's "wish" into this world and fulfilling it in a subtle way.

Shortly after transforming into a shooting star and flying backwards into the sky, a "Star" card, already covered in cracks and with a blank portrait on it, landed back in Akiko's hand.

The Valkyrie students at the front of the line slowed their pace and stared blankly up at the sky.

"A shooting star..."

"How lucky! Make a wish now..."

Following the Valkyrie student, Saori and her group arrived at the Valkyrie Police Station canteen for the evening.

Tonight, there are a surprisingly large number of students gathered here.

It seems that every student who could come from the entire Valkyrie Police Station has arrived.

"That's strange... so many people want pork chop rice today?"

The Valkyrie Public Security Bureau student who brought Saori and her group scratched his head, slightly puzzled, but didn't pay much attention.

'I have this strange feeling that my wish will come true... After we finish eating, I'll open the warehouse for them and then take a short rest in the warehouse guard room...'

Perhaps because "everyone saw the same shooting star at the same time," the students gathered in the cafeteria were all in good spirits.

Saori and her group did not linger for long.

After dinner, they returned to the warehouse, led by the silver-haired Valkyrie student, to begin what was ostensibly a "final inspection."

After making up a random excuse that he "needed to rest for a while," the Valkyrie police student climbed the ladder and entered the guard room and monitoring room high up in the warehouse.

Saori and her group kept their disguises hidden until night fell completely.

Picking up the USB drive she had prepared beforehand, and relying on the power enhancement and brief flight ability provided by the Persona, Misaki nimbly jumped up, then used the "Death" card to become a spirit, passing through the monitoring room, replacing the video file she had prepared on her USB drive and setting it to loop.

Then...

Saori and her team began their swift and efficient cargo inspection and evidence collection.

With a pre-planned route and marked suspicious targets, Saori and her group moved very quickly.

They went straight inside the opened container to take photos and conduct a detailed inspection of the 0 billion gas station. They gathered evidence.

For containers that are not opened, they attempt to directly penetrate the interior and take photos by 'spiritization'. If that fails, they use the penetrating imaging radar they carry to scan and collect evidence, and use the telepathic ability attached to 'Death' to provide clearer data to the equipment.

The containers high up were directly accessible to Misaki using her ability to freely fly and materialize as a spirit using the "Death God" card;

Arius's team was well-prepared for the search of "evidence".

They were like thieves who had sneaked into a treasure vault, using their boundless greed to collect as much evidence as possible within their sight.

Mortar shells, grenades, explosives...

As Saori mentally tallied up all the information she had gathered along the way, she found it all rather unbelievable.

It's hard to imagine... just how much money the Valkyrie Police Department received from the Caesar Group.

"There are far more 9mm pistol rounds than before, and besides that..."

"In addition to these, there are various explosion-proof equipment, and..."

"60mm and 82mm mortars and their accessories, as well as matching mortar ammunition..."

Gee...

If this evidence is investigated thoroughly, it might leave Shiranui Hanaya speechless.

Saori and her group moved very quickly... you could even say "lightning fast".

However, with only four of them, they had to collect all the key evidence from an entire large warehouse... so the overall progress was a bit slow.

Late into the night, having almost finished collecting all the evidence and intending to "finish and go to sleep," they suddenly heard the sound of a large vehicle engine again.

Saori, who had been somewhat lax, snapped to attention and crushed the "Temperance" card, bringing her somewhat relaxed and distracted companions back to their senses.

Following the sound, the girls from Arius's team climbed to the top of the container and picked up binoculars with night vision capabilities to look over.

'Unmarked container truck...'

A batch of brand-new "clothes" arrived in the middle of the night... um.

'The robots from Caesar Logistics are responsible for loading and unloading the goods...'

This really explains the problem.

Using the video recording function, Saori recorded this scene.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Misaki used the "Death" card's spiritification ability one last time, floating over and peering into the container.

A moment later, she opened her eyes and gave the rest of Arius's team the confirmation they had expected.

"...It's weapons."

"After inspecting a few samples, it appears that this container contains military-grade sights."

Hiding in the shadows, Saori and her group remained hidden until dawn, when Caesar Logistics' transport trucks had finished loading and unloading all the "goods".

'...'

As the first rays of dawn began to pierce the shadows where they were hiding, Saori waited in vain for any more heavy vehicles to load or unload goods.

Saori breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that the inspection task was completed.

"Before you leave, erase all traces."

"It's time to go back."

Chapter 83 Digging the Hole and Filling it with Soil, A Pleasant Farewell

No matter what happened last night, the new sun will still rise as usual.

At dawn, armed with various auditing equipment and a wealth of evidence, Arios's team returned to Xialai, a place they had been away from for so long.

After taking off the school uniforms that they were so used to wearing for so long... they couldn't help but feel a sense of relief, having infiltrated the millennium several days in advance for this special operation.

The mature, tall, blue-haired girl gently placed the device, which was packed full of records and had no storage space left, on the table. She chuckled with satisfaction and a hint of accomplishment, and said, "Sensei... all the evidence has been collected."

Picking up the device Saori had put down, Amamiya connected it to the Shittei Box, and after a quick look, put the device down and nodded to Saori: "Thank you for your hard work, Saori... and everyone in Arios's team."

"After all, this is the first time we've accomplished a mission that wasn't accomplished through direct force... and we've all taken a big step forward."

【~???~】(All members of Arius's squad)

“Sensei… what else do we need to do next?”

Amamiya waved his hand: "Analyzing documents, paperwork... these don't need to be left to everyone."

"We've only been back a short time... Let's all take a good rest for a while and conserve our energy for what might happen in the future."

The girls did not refuse.

After all... they knew it very well.

The next Federal Student Council meeting will be the time when things "stir up."

At that time, the questioning of the Valkyrie Public Security Bureau will become the absolute focus... and during this period, Arios's squad must also participate as a force that can be called upon at any time.

"Um……"

The light purple-haired girl ran to the balcony and glanced at the flowers she hadn't had time to care for during her absence. Only then did she nod happily, finally putting her burden down for the time being.

“Sensei took good care of the flowers even when they were gone.”

Amamiya returned a smile: "After all, these are flowers that Azuko decided to cultivate, so naturally we will take good care of them."

【~???~】(Ajinko)

After completely relaxing, Yajinzi did feel a little sleepy.

The girl felt an urge to yawn, but she managed to suppress it, and her expression became hazy for a moment.

"Go back and rest..."

With the true 'team leader' having spoken, the other three naturally had no objections.

Before long, the girls had finished breakfast, which was so lavish it could be described as a "victory celebration" for them.

Then... they all fell into a state of complete 'indulgence' and laziness.

They didn't go out on patrol... Of course, to avoid jet lag, they didn't sleep either, but instead started maintaining their weapons, lying on the sofa reading magazines, observing the flowerbeds, and watching cute pet videos... things that were easy for them.

They said they were "going back," but they were only returning to the Xia Lai residential area, which was currently the only place where they felt a sense of belonging.

After settling the girls who had completed their mission, Amamiya began to consider how to make use of the large amount of evidence she had gathered.

Summarizing, analyzing, and simplifying this evidence to form effective documents... takes time.

It will take at least one or two days... During that time, I feel like I'm completely...

It's not that you can't do anything.

While organizing documents using 'remote work', it's also necessary to communicate with the student union councils of each college in advance.

During the "suspension of school investigation" of the Valkyrie Public Security Bureau, the safety of various parts of Kivotos... especially the White Bird District, is a major issue that cannot be ignored.

The White Bird District... as a core area that is crucial to Kivotos, including the Federal Student Council, the Xialai Office Building, the Third Commercial District, the Tower of the Sanctuary, etc., is naturally "not to be lost".

In any case, this place must not be allowed to descend into chaos.

After Valkyrie's shutdown... another... or multiple forces will be needed to maintain order.

The Justice Committee of Trinity, the Pandemonium of Gehenna, the Xuanlong Gate of the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and even the Red Winter Federation... Amamiya felt that as long as he gave a slight 'hint,' these "sensible people" who could become student council presidents would realize how crucial this opportunity was.

As it happens, I need to ask Saintia about the question of 'precognitive dreams' and discuss it with her.

So... let's go to Trinity first.

After finalizing today's itinerary, Amamiya woke up Alona and Sofia, asking the two 'AI girls' who were always by her side to help her organize the documents. At the same time, she organized the documents and boarded the train to Trinity.

On the way, Amamiya checked today's momotalk.

[Fubuki: Sensei, shall we go to the pier and get some donuts?]

'I also received other messages...'

[Mary: I sense that Sensei's next experience may not be peaceful... If she feels any pressure, she can come to the cathedral to pray.]

'...'

After reading and replying to the daily messages, Amamiya mainly looked at the messages from the student council presidents of various colleges.

'...'

[Hisa: A storm is brewing... Hehe.]

[Feisa: I understand the situation roughly. If you need my help, or the help of the Xuanlong Sect... please feel free to contact me.]

'...'

[Saintya: I have a premonition of something interesting...]

[Saintia: I have already informed Nagisa of part of the foreseen outcome.]

[Saintya: Sometimes... knowing the future isn't a good thing.]

[Shengya: Sensei, would you like to come to a tea party so we can discuss this in more detail?]

'...'

[Rion: I've heard about the situation from Noah.]

[Rion: Sensei, please feel free to contact us if you need the support of a workshop.]

[Rion: If there are any requirements regarding force, you can also mobilize the C&C.]

'...'

[Nia: Haha~ I feel like Sensei is working on some kind of 'special project'.]

[Nia: Although we're a bit overwhelmed by the Hyakki Yagyō (Night Parade of One Hundred Demons), feel free to tell Sensei if she needs anything~ I'll do my best to help her.]

'...'

[Makoto: [Voiceover] Hehehe... I have another conquest project... Sensei is coming to Pandemonium to have a chat with me?]

'...'
