I became a heart-stealing thief in Azure Files

[Cerino: Comrade, among the supplies you sent to Special Operations Team 227, was there a really delicious drink...?]

Hoho…

Compared to the students' daily news, the student council presidents' news is a bit more 'heavyweight'.

Aside from Makoto and Cerino... the other student council presidents, with their information channels, foresight, and crisis awareness... truly gave Amamiya the feeling that they were "each displaying their unique talents."

Apart from Makoto and Cerino, who were still somewhat out of sorts, the other student council presidents—Seiya, Hisaki, Nia, Rion, and others—had all sensed the impending anomaly through various means or intelligence channels.

Furthermore, all the student council presidents, including Makoto and Cerino, conveyed almost identical sentiments to Amamiya—

"We stand by your side."

The 'bonds' that have been built up over time have gradually transformed into a force that will lend you a helping hand as you move towards your goals.

There was a strange sense of...wonderful gain, and "moved" feeling?

With his arms crossed, Amamiya leaned back in his train seat, squinting, and began to ponder his next course of action.

The support of these student council presidents is what gives Valkyrie the confidence to maintain normal order during the shutdown.

At the same time... it could also become another straw that pushes Huaye to the brink of despair.

The pit has been dug, and all that's left is for Huaye to step into it and fall in, then everyone will fill it with soil and 'pleasantly send her off'.

With that in mind, Amamiya opened Seiya's chat window.

[Amamiya: There are indeed some issues regarding 'precognitive dreams' that need to be discussed.]

[Amamiya: Do you have time for the tea party now? I'm on my way.]

[Saintya: You can come anytime.]

After communicating with Seiya beforehand, Amamiya straightened up and ended her short rest on the train.

After sorting through the various pieces of information she had seen in her dream, Amamiya got off at the station in the Holy Trinity area.

The "everyday" in "the daily life of miracles" is cracking inch by inch, and the "miracle" is also elusive.

Before the "trial" arrives...

Let's make the final preparations.

Chapter 84 The Foresight of the Dazhu Cult

In the afternoon at the headquarters of the Holy Trinity Tea Party, the core members of the tea party gathered together for a rare reunion.

"Ha ha……"

The gray-haired girl, who had been sitting and waiting, spoke up the moment Amamiya opened the door, saying, "Sensei... good afternoon."

"You are always welcome to our tea parties."

With her hands resting on her knees, her slender, delicate thighs intertwined, and her crown-shaped braids swaying in the breeze, the young woman possessed an undeniable, noble, and elegant ladylike demeanor simply by sitting at the tea table.

After Nagisa, who was seated at the head of the tea table, spoke, the pink-haired girl, who was deliberately seated one seat away, immediately waved and greeted her: "Welcome☆~ It's really nice to meet Sensei~!"

Finally, the petite blonde girl, with her eyes lowered, fox ears perked up, and a small bird perched on the tip of one ear, slightly opened her eyes.

"...Sorry to keep you waiting."

After exchanging pleasantries with the three tea party members, Amamiya hesitated for a moment about where to 'settle down'.

Finally... amidst Mika's bitter and slightly unwilling expression, Seiya's "I had expected this" confidence, and Nagisa's "I knew it" indifference, Amamiya sat down in the gap between the chairs.

As the tea party began, Amamiya, who had exhausted her mental energy and devised follow-up plans, enjoyed the relaxation brought by the royal-style noble tea and sweets.

Seemingly feeling that the preparations were about right, Nagisa, who was seated at the head of the table, was the first to put down his tea set.

While waiting for the tea party members to serve tea and leave, she twirled her meticulously maintained hip-length hair with her fingertips and began apologetically, "Before we discuss the main events of this occasion..."

"Sensei, please allow me to apologize for the previous matters related to the 'Kōrin Taisai' (Akawara Grand Festival)."

Before Nagisa could continue, Mika, sitting a little further away, eagerly chimed in, "I knew it! Nagisa is still feeling apologetic to Sensei for not attending the Aurora Festival on time and for the mess she caused during her speech at Trinity."

Nagisa, interrupted: "..."

With a calm expression and slightly bright eyes, Nagisa gave Mika, who couldn't read his aura, a sinister look before sighing softly and closing her eyes: "...That's how it is."

"As Ms. Mika Seizono (*emphasis added) said... the 'mistake' that happened at the Akawa Festival some time ago caused the cram school club... and Trinity College as a whole to suffer criticism for a period of time."

"Leaving aside Trinity's own affairs, at that time... Hanako-san's... somewhat... um... impolite remarks, after subsequent investigation, did indeed have some immeasurable impact on Sensei within Trinity's territory..."

"Therefore, we need to apologize to Sensei, and at the same time...????"

Nagisa froze mid-sentence, looking utterly stunned, as if she had been electrocuted.

My own hand, was...

Sensei pulled him from under the table...

They caught them secretly?!

【~???~】（渚）

Stiffly glancing sideways, feeling the touch on the back of her hand, Nagisa rarely showed the panic that comes with the breakdown of her ladylike demeanor.

Out of the corner of her eye, Nagisa glanced at Amamiya's ambiguous smile.

Zhu lost all composure and was in a state of utter confusion.

A strange feeling...

"...Nagisa-chan?"

Mika's shout startled Nagisa once again.

Despite her many doubts and questions, Nagisa forced herself to maintain her composure and restrained her trembling, abnormal movements.

"...After apologizing to Sensei, let's get right to the point."

“Sensei, I’ve already heard a small part of what your purpose is for coming to this tea party from Saintia before.”

Amamiya withdrew her hand at the right moment, and at the same time felt Saya's hand reaching out from the other side, as well as her fox tail wrapping around her.

Compared to Nagisa's 'passive' approach, is Seiya choosing to take the initiative and attack...?

The unusual sensation from the adult's broad, warm hand dissipated as soon as it touched him, and Nagisa let out a breath, still 'shaken'.

She continued, "...Sensei needs the power of our tea party to maintain order in the Shiratori ward 'after that'."

"Let Trinity temporarily take over Valkyrie's law enforcement duties in various regions..."

It is clear that the fragments that Seiya obtained through her precognitive dream were only shared with Nagisa.

Amamiya noticed that when Nagisa said she got the news from Saya, Mika, who was in charge of setting the mood for the "special" Trinity Tea Party, looked confused and surprised throughout, as if she thought, "There's such a thing?!"

"Well, things might get a little turbulent next."

Nagisa is a smart person. She didn't spell it out, but she did make it clear that she had a thorough understanding of what would happen in the 'future' period of time.

Amamiya didn't say it explicitly, but after nodding in agreement with Nagisa's explanation, he added, "This can be considered a 'special' request from Xia Lai for the Holy Trinity Tea Party, and fieldwork subsidies will be paid."

Zhu chuckled.

"If it's to help Sensei..."

“The Holy Trinity can contribute its own efforts.”

As the one in charge of the tea party, Nagisa saw things very clearly.

The potential benefits of this matter are particularly large—but not so obvious.

Let alone the fact that Xia Lai would provide subsidies and support in terms of equipment and supplies...

The idea is to have the tea party pay for itself. As long as Xia Lai brings it up, Zhu will definitely take the initiative and ask for as much help as possible.

why?

because……

Intelligent people can understand "hidden benefits".

During the tea party on Valkyrie's enforcement period, Nagisa could project the power and culture of the Holy Trinity, and other potential influences, onto the enforcement area she was assigned to, thereby gradually generating long-term benefits that are difficult to describe in words.

Take the most obvious example – the White Bird District, where the Sanctuary Tower and the Shalai Office Building stand, is so named that it is no exaggeration to describe it as the "heart of Givotos".

Even obtaining such regional authority, even if it's just temporary substitute enforcement power, would bring immeasurable benefits to Trinity's future influence and other aspects.

"So, what are Nagisa's intentions...?"

Nagisa's intentions were clear, but Amamiya still had to ask the 'core question' that needed to be asked.

She picked up the freshly refilled cup of black tea, took a small sip, and put it down. Nagisa said softly but solemnly, "Of course, I will do everything I can to help Sensei."

【~???~】（渚）

"Not only should we spare no effort to help Sensei..."

With her hair tossed to the side, Nagisa cupped her cheeks in her hands, leaning forward with her elbows resting on the tea table, completely abandoning any semblance of decorum.

“I also want to thank Sensei.”

"Thank you...Sensei for providing this 'opportunity' for the tea party."

The bond between her and Nagisa has deepened...

[COOP Improvement!]

【Kirito Nagisa (The High Priestess) ★★★★☆☆☆☆☆☆】

The inclination towards 'cooperation' was finalized in just a few words, even as Wei Hua was still confused and uncertain, and Sheng Ya anticipated the entire process.

All I can say is that dealing with intelligent people who can deeply understand each other's intentions has always been so "simple and effortless".

What's more...

'Osagiri Kyou' is not only a smart student council president, but also a noble girl who occasionally loses her composure and reveals her shy or cute side.

The end of the 'main topic' does not mean the end of the tea party.

After confirming Nagisa's "intention to cooperate," Amamiya brought up matters related to the Akawa Grand Festival, which had already passed.

The student council, which is most capable of making time for various things... should 'top the list' for tea parties.

Or to put it another way, if we rank student council presidents by how "leisurely" they are, then Nagisa is definitely one of the most leisurely student council presidents.

"Regarding the previous 'Kōrin Grand Festival,' there's something I'm curious about..."

Looking at the gray-haired girl with a relaxed demeanor, Amamiya asked curiously, "Nagisa, you should have been able to find the time during the Akawa Grand Festival, right? Why didn't you participate?"

Amamiya's question made Nagisa freeze on the spot, extremely embarrassed.

"This……"

Because of Nagisa's quick thinking, Mika, who was 'naive and innocent' and 'outspoken' and thus good at revealing her 'best friend's' shortcomings, raised her hand and spoke up as if to answer a question: "If Nagisa won't say it, then I'll say it ☆~"

"Actually... Xiaozhu has very poor coordination and suffers from motion sickness~"

"I'm not good at sports, and I easily get dizzy watching others exercise at high speeds..."

“Nagisa probably didn’t want Sensei to see her rude side, so…”

Before she could finish speaking, Wei Hua suddenly felt a terrifying aura, accompanied by a long, narrow shadow appearing in her field of vision.

The flapping wings suddenly stopped, and Mika tilted her head slightly, meeting Nagisa's eyes, which were holding a large Swiss roll and gleaming with a fierce red light.

"Weihua, who knows nothing of etiquette..."

"A Swiss roll is needed as 'punishment'..."

Wei Hua turned and ran, crashing into the room at the entrance to the tea party.

"Haha~~ Oysters, oysters~"

"Nagisa, don't be angry..."

Zhu, with a gloomy face, chased after him.

"Wait a minute..."

After a brief moment of absurdity, Amamiya and Seiya exchanged glances.
