I became a heart-stealing thief in Azure Files

Sofia's condition wasn't much better either; she was so hot that she made emoticons (＠_＠;), and her movements were a bit dazed.

Noticing someone enter the Shiting Box, the red-haired AI girl greeted them with a wry smile: "Ah... Jok's here."

"It's all... all sorted out..."

Not to mention Alona, ​​even the usually energetic Sofia is this hot...

"Thanks for your hard work."

【~???~】(Sofia, Alona)

Despite the unbearable heat, Sofia mustered her spirits and smiled wearily yet contentedly as she felt the comfortable touch on her cheek.

"As long as it helps Jok, even something like this is worth it..."

Before she could finish speaking, Sophia couldn't hold back any longer and 'disintegrated' on her own, then attached herself to Amamiya's clothes.

"It's still more comfortable staying on Jok..."

Amamiya: "..."

He went to Alona's desk and shook the dazed Alona's shoulder.

“Sensei, stop shaking…”

Alona, ​​also slightly roused, waved her hand dismissively at Amamiya: "The information Sensei asked Alona to compile, Alona has already finished compiling it..."

"As agreed, Sensei not only has to provide strawberry milk, but also give Alona a 'special' reward..."

Amamiya answered without hesitation: "Once Alona recovers, I will reward her properly."

—Anyway, the simple-minded Alona is only satisfied with (two) cold, two strange, two kisses and hugs...

After interacting with Alona, ​​who nearly fainted from heatstroke, Amamiya picked up the files that Alona had compiled—files that could be piled up like a small mountain in the form of the Shitei no Kaku—and began to peruse them one by one.

The evidence that Arius's team collected through infiltration and seizure was enormous.

Numerous and varied...

But Alona and Sofia, these two 'super AIs,' are also incredibly efficient.

Although the limitations of the Shiting Box are a bit of a pain... their collection and organization of the massive amount of "evidence" has been remarkably effective.

After sorting, simplification, and visualization...

A large portion of the massive amount of evidence was discarded as invalid.

Just like simplifying a card game deck by removing all useless cards and leaving only the key core cards for a streamlined cycle.

This "evidence" was enough to deliver a near-fatal blow to Huaye at the Federal Student Association's regular meeting.

"Next, we'll wait for the next regular meeting of the Federal Student Council..."

With the next meeting fast approaching, Amamiya decided to contact Team Fox one last time beforehand to check with Hanaya to see if there was any activity on her end.

After returning to Xialai by car, Amamiya immediately posted a message in the Fox team's momotalk discussion group.

[Amamiya: It's almost time for the information handover... Who's coming to hand over information?]

After the message was sent out, Yukino was the first to respond.

[Yukino: I'm a little disappointed that I can't see Sensei this time.]

[Yukino: This time, Nico is in charge of handing over the intelligence...]

'...'

[Oto Aoi: Captain really... can't live without Sensei.]

[Oto Aoi: Has she also contracted that kind of loneliness that the younger generation talks about, where 'the little rabbit will die without Sensei'?]

[Oto Aoi: That captain is definitely more seriously ill than the younger ones.]

[Oto Aoi: [Fox-like teasing.jpg]]

'...'

Yukino: No way...

[Oto Aoi patted Yukino on the shoulder and said, "We all understand."]

[Yukino:? ? ? 】

'...'

[Hu Tao: Speaking of which, Sensei must be up to something lately... It feels like we're being pulled around by Hanaya more and more frequently...]

[Hu Tao: In addition, the frequency of missions such as armed escort has also increased significantly...]

Amamiya touched Kurumi's ear and was met with a response: "Who, who told you to touch it?!"

[Amamiya: Armed escort mission? Could you elaborate?]

[Hu Tao: Hmm... Hua Ye asked us to lead a team on several missions for a client, I think it was the Caesar Group, under the pretext of 'maintaining the logistics security of our partners'...]

[Hu Tao: It's hard to explain with just information, but anyway... it seems like they're transporting some strange 'large shipment'...]

[Amamiya touched Kurumi's ear, and the latter said in a haughty tone, "Just this once, let's have a little fun together~"]

【walnut:……】

Kurumi pinched Amamiya's cheek and warned, "Don't touch me unless it's absolutely necessary!"

[Hu Tao: [Fox-like tsundere.jpg]]

While enjoying the group chat function on momotalk and interacting happily with the girls of the Fox team, Amamiya tried to deduce the information.

Large cargo... transported in batches with armed escort...

Could it be some kind of tactical or even strategic weapon...?

What exactly is Huaye up to?

Even with the combined power of the "Persona" and the otherworldly weaponry, Kayo shouldn't immediately reveal her true form...

Could it be that I overestimated Huaye's ambition and ability to endure?

Nicole: I'm back.

[Nicole: The contents for the next 'information handover' are ready. Let's bring the tofu skin sushi specially prepared for Sensei along with it.]

[Oto Aoi: Pay attention to your juniors, pay attention to your peers, and also pay attention to Sensei...]

[Otoko: Thank you for your hard work, Nico's mom!]

Walnut: +1

[Yukino: +2]

Nicole: ...? ? ?

Nicole: [Fox-like helplessness.jpg]

Nicole: Don't just call someone "Mom" so casually...

[Nicole: Sensei, I will deliver the intelligence gathered by Team Fox to you tomorrow morning.]

After ending her MomoTalk chat with the Fox team members, Amamiya put away her phone, looked out the window, and began to frown in thought.

Since receiving assistance from supernatural forces... Huaye's desires have indeed grown at a faster rate.

But the speed at which this change occurred was somewhat unexpected.

Analyzing based on the recent movements 'revealed' by the Fox team...

Now, Huaye has entered the stage of "possessing a sharp weapon and having murderous intent arising spontaneously".

The rate and extent of Hanaya's growing desires reminded Amamiya of a well-known internet meme:

If you gained superhuman strength, what would you do?

[Highly Rated Answer:]

Day 1: Protecting the Earth.

Day Two: Protecting My Earth.

Day 3: I'm not eating beef!

The ancient saying, "He who possesses a sharp weapon will naturally harbor murderous intent," has been passed down for a reason...

When an ambitious but powerless person acquires extraordinary power that does not belong to them through various means, their mindset will be distorted with an extremely exaggerated degree.

Should I talk to Rin beforehand?

She also mentioned the precognitive dream to Rin, so she could prepare in advance...

After some thought, Amamiya shook his head and decided to postpone the timeline to after the 'investigation of Valkyrie'.

If Rin were informed of the Valkyrie investigation beforehand, considering the overall situation in Giwatos, she would most likely not agree and might even suggest a way to "make a mountain out of a molehill".

If that happens, all plans against Huaye will be in vain.

Having temporarily abandoned the idea of ​​talking to Rin, Amamiya ultimately decided to suppress the thought for the time being.

'Let's wait and see what Nicole says tomorrow, and get more information from her first...'

Chapter 87 I love Nicole's mom the most

"Sensei... how have you been lately?"

"Did you eat well?"

"Your health... I hope it hasn't deteriorated, has it?"

Do you miss me?

In the soft light of dawn, in Xia Lai's office building, a fox-eared girl with short pink hair, carrying a box of sushi she had brought, smiled broadly.

The gaze directed at the person before him was sweet but not cloying, the gentle care was kind and loving, and even the unique greeting was full of tenderness.

Ok……

It's not entirely unreasonable that the rest of the Fox team might consider Nicole their 'mother'.

Meeting the girl's warm gaze, Amamiya put down the thick stack of paper documents she was holding, which had just been printed, and answered sincerely, "Yes, I really want to."

"As the saying goes, a day apart feels like three autumns... It's been a long time since I've felt any care from Nicole's mom."

"I want to be held in Nicole's arms and cared for."

As she spoke, Amamiya naturally stood up and leaned her head over.

Nicole, who had been all smiles, suddenly became a little embarrassed, and then quickly showed a helpless expression of "I really can't do anything with you".

The girl placed the sushi box on the desk, took a step forward with a 'reluctant' look, put her arms around the back of Amamiya's neck, and very 'gently' let Amamiya bury her head in her chest.

“As an adult… it’s not proper for an adult to casually call a young girl ‘Mom,’ Sensei.”

That's what she said, but Nicole didn't show any 'disgust' at all. Instead, she hugged him a little tighter and her voice became more 'healingly gentle'.

“However, considering the pressure you face every day, Sensei, it’s understandable that you sometimes need to ‘vent like a child.’”

【~???~】(Nicole)

'Speaking of which... every time I hug Sensei like this, I get this... strange feeling.'

'Sensei sometimes shows her 'childlike side'...it's so cute, I love it...'

The embrace suddenly felt lighter, and before Nicole could come to her senses, Amamiya had already 'pulled' himself out of Nicole's arms.

Amamiya did not linger for long.

It's not that I don't want to, but that I can't.

Since the first time Nicole experienced this wonderful 'interaction,' she has felt herself becoming increasingly entangled and unable to extricate herself...

Amamiya was genuinely worried that she had gone a bit too far and caused Nico to actually awaken some strange attributes.
