I became a heart-stealing thief in Azure Files

Unlike the Rabbit team, which had not openly joined Xia Lai and could only 'observe secretly'.

The Arios Squad is widely recognized as the 'Shalai Elite Squad'. Possessing most of the permissions granted by Shalai, they can naturally enter and leave Valkyrie as a "supervisory group" or "protective group".

This time... Arius's team is tasked with "protection".

—A member from the Millennium Protection Seminar and the Federal Student Union's Finance Office, responsible for financial inventory.

After all... even the headquarters of the Federal Student Association could be "surprise attacked".

Who can guarantee that the team members conducting this financial inventory and inspection won't be ambushed by some unknown thugs?

Because they arrived relatively early, Arius's team had a rare period of leisure while waiting for the other two groups to arrive.

Unlike before, when there was practically nothing to talk about, the girls started discussing topics they longed for and aspired to during their 'nomadic life'.

As they talked, Hiyori steered the conversation toward swimsuits.

"I had a lot of fun playing in the snow at the Red Winter Federation Academy with Sensei, but the thought that summer vacation is almost over and I won't have a chance to wear a swimsuit..."

“Ugh…”

"I need to keep my spirits up during this time... Even though it's for Sensei, it's been quite a journey..."

"It's very difficult."

Saori echoed with a soft sigh.

“But compared to the past, this kind of ‘security guard’ duty is much simpler and easier for us now.”

However... thinking that this was something she was doing for Sensei, Saori felt full of motivation again.

Saori is merely the captain of Arius's squad, but she is not the true 'soul' of Arius's squad.

Unlike Miyako Yusou, who is also a 'captain'... Saori has long since transcended that bond and has her own mature ideas.

Being a "little animal" alongside Sensei is a unique form of dependent survival, and it is also a way of life...

Having their own way of surviving is at least better than when Arius's team was wandering around and couldn't even find a meaning to their existence.

Compared to before, Saori now understands better the courage and reason for her to live.

The heart-fluttering moments with Sensei are truly unforgettable, but...

For Sensei's sake, becoming a "knight" who protects Sensei is more important.

"It seems everyone is really looking forward to summer vacation."

Yajin smiled softly, genuinely happy.

Everyone is looking forward to the future with Sensei...that's a good thing.

This symbolizes that...the unique and subtle 'family' atmosphere among us is still growing stronger every day.

Noticing the way Azuko glanced at her, observing the situation, Misaki also felt a slight sense of disappointment.

"It's a real shame we couldn't see the beach scenery."

Not long ago, Misaki heard that she might go to the beach in the future... but she didn't think much of it.

But recently, as the weather got hotter day by day, Misaki secretly went to a clothing store and bought a swimsuit when she was alone.

Looking back now, I guess I was 'expecting' it back then.

Hearing the approaching sound of vehicles, the members of Arius's team roused themselves and stood ready for battle.

The seminar was held, and the accounting staff sent by the Federal Student Union's finance office arrived.

The next morning, the sunlight pierced through the window bars precisely on time.

As for Amamiya, she finally came to the end of the preliminary planning for the "final settlement" with the "blue and white duo" at the seminar, which lasted all night.

After hosting Yuka and Noah consecutively, Amamiya was somewhat exhausted, both physically and mentally.

After drinking a glass of water to ease the sticky feeling in her mouth, the purple-haired girl, whose rapid breathing had gradually subsided, finally relaxed and let out a long sigh of relief.

Yuka glanced resentfully at her 'best friend' who was still clinging to Amamiya and unwilling to leave, then got up feeling refreshed.

"Noah~?"

"Um, is there anything else, Yuka-chan?"

The white-haired girl smiled with narrowed eyes, her expression revealing no flaw: "Is Yuuka-chan planning to 'settle accounts later'?"

Her cheeks flushed bright red, and after standing there for a while, Yuka let out a long sigh.

"It hasn't gotten to that point yet, I just wanted to say..."

"This is absolutely, absolutely not allowed..."

Noah's smile remained unchanged as he quickly answered, "We can't leave any records, and we can't tell anyone, right?"

"Doesn't Yuuka-chan believe in my ability to keep secrets?"

Yuka pondered for a moment and felt that Noah was still...reliable.

At least she won't be like Xiaoxue, who easily spreads what she knows.

After tying up her skirt and putting on her hard-soled ankle boots, Yuka didn't say goodbye. She just said, "Sensei, remember to get some rest," and left in a hurry.

Noah hadn't left yet. He leisurely put on his slightly thicker pantyhose, which he had worn due to the transition from mid-summer to autumn, and tidied himself up.

"Thank you for the hospitality, Sensei!"

After standing up in her high heels, the white-haired girl turned around and gave Amamiya a sly wink.

"We'll do our best at the seminar. Just like Yuka-chan said, Sensei, remember to get some rest!"

Amamiya: "..."

You guys have it so easy, but I'm the one who's exhausted.

Some time after Noah left, Amamiya finally got up, feeling a bit sore in her back.

Although a minor incident occurred... the school closure inspection and accounting procedures of the Valkyrie Public Security Bureau are now on track.

However, for now, Valkyrie has only greatly reduced his activities; he has not completely stopped.

Because "the old forces have not disappeared and the new forces have not yet emerged".

The promised 'Shalai Joint Security' team hasn't even started to be formed yet... so naturally, we can't immediately freeze all of Valkyrie's positions.

'We also need to have the student union presidents of each college send out their forces, and then contact and reorganize these forces...'

'There's plenty more to it than just his phantom thief activities.'

After letting out a heavy sigh, Amamiya stood up, intending to arrange the day's activities.

'I promised Moe that I would have her learn about "occult hacking"...'

'Let's test Menghui's progress in learning cognitive science first, and also give her a basic tool to familiarize herself with.'

As for main outings…

'Considering that the Classic of Mountains and Seas is the furthest away, let's start by visiting it.'

In a short while, the day's activities were arranged, and Amamiya began to "act according to plan".

Since Alios's squad has been on the "night shift" lately, responsible for the safety of members of the Federation Student Council and seminars in the evenings, Amamiya has been spared the task of making breakfast.

After buying a bento breakfast from Angel24, Amamiya began processing the dwindling amount of paperwork sent by the Federation Student Union while eating.

—Because of the Valkyrie incident, the number of official documents sent by the Federal Student Union has decreased significantly recently.

After finishing his meal, Amamiya immediately contacted Moe.

Currently, Rabbit Squad is in the process of preparing to switch shifts with Arius Squad and continue their inspection of Valkyrie, so Rabbit Squad certainly has time to reply to messages.

[Amamiya: About Occult Hacking...]

[Amamiya: I have time now, where's Moe?]

'...'

[Cute Illustration: Hehehe... Sensei finally remembered to contact me?]

[Moe: Of course I have time! I'll come find Sensei right now!]

Upon receiving the news, Meng Hui didn't even have time for breakfast and ran all the way from the living area to Xia Lai's office.

Only after pushing open the door and standing in front of Amamiya did Moe bend over, supporting her knees, and begin to breathe heavily, "Huff... Hah... Huff... Hah."

"...Cough cough cough, Sen, Sensi...I shouldn't be...late, right?"

Amamiya found it slightly amusing to see the adorable illustration that almost lost its breath.

Shaking her head, Amamiya teased, "...Moe, you don't really have to be in such a hurry."

"Sensei isn't in a hurry, but I am!"

The panting girl reluctantly accepted the freshly brewed coffee that Amamiya handed her.

【~???~】

“Sensei has no idea… about the anxiety I’ve been feeling lately, the kind of anxiety that feels like I’ve been ‘deliberately sidelined’…”

"call……"

Relaxed by the aroma of coffee, Moe sighed in relief, then looked intently at Amamiya. "So, Sensei... today, today is the start of 'Occult Hacking' training..."

"It's hardly training..."

Amamiya shook her finger, 'correcting' her, "This time, the main purpose is to ask about Moe's progress in 'Cognitive Learning'."

"Moe... how much of the 'Cognitive Science' I taught you a while ago has you learned?"

"Hehehe...Does Sensei think I'm some kind of 'inferior student'?"

Mentioning this gets Menghui excited.

"When I was studying at SRT, I was always the best in the Rabbit team in terms of theory..."

"Sensei, believe in my academic performance—if you don't..."

Moe puffed out her chest, almost completely blocking Amamiya's view.

"Sensei can test me however he wants! If I can't answer, then Sensei can 'punish' me..."

"Hehehe... even a 'special form' of punishment isn't unacceptable..."

Amamiya: "..."

They even made a promise like "I don't know about mugwort"?

Leaving aside special cases like "I just like this".

...That shows a lot of confidence.

“I trust Moe,” Amamiya waved her hand, “so there’s no need for a test…”

"Then let's give Menghui a 'Beginner's Guide to Occult Hacking' so she can familiarize herself with it first."

As she spoke, Amamiya took out a book with a mysterious and elegant sky-blue cover, edged with gold and decorated with magical patterns, which looked like a magic book from a fantasy world.

"This book... will be the main tool that Moe will use in her future 'Occult Hacking' operations."

"It can communicate with the user's mind and turn to a specified page according to the user's needs, temporarily using the abilities of the demons recorded on the corresponding page... including but not limited to borrowing their abilities, summoning them to appear, or directly using their unique 'magic' without making them appear..."

"The name of this book is... 'The Book of Demons'."

"Of course... this book is a 'beginner' edition specially prepared for Moe-e... that is to say, it currently only records some low-level demons; demons with great destructive power and special abilities have been sealed away."

"You need to try to familiarize yourself with this book first... until you are proficient in its use before I can give you the real Complete Book of Demons."

"The Complete Book of Demons...?"

Moe murmured and repeated the name.

"Although this is a book..."
