I became a heart-stealing thief in Azure Files

[★3 Bond Skill "Rest and Rest" is now unlocked!]

Under Ravenda's 'voice from the heavens', Amamiya slept peacefully until the train slowed down and pulled into the station, at which point she regained consciousness.

As the train entered the desolate area on the edge of the desert, the scenery outside the window could almost be described as "drastic change".

"..."

"Sensei..."

"Sensei?"

The sensation from his palm caused Amamiya's expression to shift slightly.

“Sensei…my hand…”

Suppressing her unusual emotions, Fubuki half-closed her eyes and made a 'helpless' expression.

He withdrew his hand, not forgetting to offer a 'praise'.

"Fubuki's hands are small and cool, and feel delicate and cool to the touch. It's very comfortable, like touching jade."

【~???~】(Fubuki)

"...?"

Although it sounds like he's praising himself, why does it sound so strange?

Squeezing her hand, which had been held the whole way, Fubuki truly didn't know how to describe her feelings at that moment.

With mixed feelings, she tried to shift her attention to the nearby train station and the town not far away, shrouded in the scorching desert sun.

'It's so desolate...'

It's hard to imagine how the 'Abydos Higher School' located here has continued to operate.

Would any students really consider entering a college where their daily routine involves battling the desert environment?

If the university itself is located in a desert oasis, offering a 'spring-like' climate year-round, then that wouldn't be a problem...

If Abydos wants to attract new students, it should at least improve the most important and basic condition: the 'campus environment', right?

After getting off the train and walking past the buildings near the station, Fubuki glanced around and immediately 'saw' the academy nestled in the desert.

To Fubuki's surprise, the academy itself really did seem to be located in an 'oasis', with lush greenery everywhere and buildings as clean as new, without any trace of 'erosion by yellow sand'.

'The college environment should be... alright?'

'It seems... there's still a chance Abydos can recruit new students.'

Following Amamiya into the academy's 'oasis' area, Fubuki immediately felt a refreshing sensation, like a gentle spring breeze.

'The atmosphere at the college is really nice...'

'I wonder how much of this is the result of Sensei's previous efforts with the "Countermeasures Committee"?'

While pondering, Fubuki suddenly sensed a sharp gaze.

—Perhaps due to the 'keenness' of the slacker himself, Fubuki reacts particularly keenly to sharp gazes, especially those with impure motives.

She looked back and saw a pink-haired girl with blue and gold heterochromatic eyes, carrying a shotgun on her shoulder.

As soon as it appeared, Fubuki could feel a faint sense of gravity and moisture falling on her.

No, to be more precise... it was Sensei that landed next to me and then affected me.

The pink-haired girl in front of him, with her incredibly strong gravity and intimidating aura, approached him with a hesitant, almost staggering, smile, but her sharp gaze remained fixed on him.

……

Why is she looking at me like that?

Fubuki was slightly terrifying.

Fortunately... that look didn't last long.

Hoshino yawned and finally stopped in front of Amamiya, looking up at her with a deep, almost tangible resentment.

“Sensei… Welcome back to Abydos.”

Chapter 8: What are the consequences of recklessly activating Succubus Mode...?

On a night when the stars seemed to cascade down, the lights in the club activity room of the Countermeasures Committee were on for the first time in a long while.

Wearing sportswear, the gray-haired girl with wolf ears clenched her teeth and remained silent;

The cat-eared girl with black hair and red eyes, and an arrogant expression, turned her head away, crossed her arms, and remained silent.

The short-haired girl wearing glasses had her glasses reflecting the indoor light. Her face was gloomy and her expression was unclear. She adjusted her glasses, her expression calm and composed.

Even the blonde, green-eyed 'rich young lady' who always had a smile on her face lost her composure, and the smile in her eyes disappeared.

In the dead silence, the pink-haired girl tapped the table and casually spoke: "Everyone... let's discuss how to handle this."

As she finished speaking, Amamiya felt five different gazes simultaneously focused on her.

"that……"

Amamiya forced a smile, wanting to say something.

The cat-eared girl, whose face was gloomy, interrupted him with a smile.

“Sensei…you can’t talk now.”

"Yeah~"

Ayane, whose glasses reflected the light, chimed in, "After all... Sensei has 'abandoned' us for so long... It's like we've lost contact ever since the resort incident ended..."

“Sensei abandoned us for so long... We absolutely cannot forgive them easily.”

Hearing Ayane say that, Amamiya had a premonition that something bad was about to happen.

Even Ayane, the most obedient 'good girl' in Abydos, has become like this... Amamiya really can't fathom how much emotion the girls standing in the Countermeasures Committee's club activity room are holding onto at this moment.

The thought alone sends chills down my spine...

"So……"

Nomiya, with a sly smile, picked up the conversation: "How should we deal with Sensei...?"

"Everyone secretly conquered Abydos, and then just left it alone after the conquest was complete... How should we deal with such a 'heartless' Sensei?"

Nomiya's words made Amamiya sigh softly.

...It seems that my relationship with the individual members of the Countermeasures Committee has been exposed.

"I propose that we all 'share' the Sensei."

Bai Zi fluttered his wolf ears and calmly raised his hand: "Among Abydos, I am the only one who has established a relationship with Sensei but has not yet enjoyed Sensei. So I should go first."

Amamiya: "...Shirako?"

After Bai Zi finished speaking, there was another brief silence in the room.

Then, Nomiya was the first to chime in: "Agreed!"

"Although I haven't officially started a relationship with Sensei yet... if Sensei treats everyone in Abydos 'equally'... he probably won't leave me out, right?"

"I want to take this opportunity to deepen my bond with Sensei!"

With the first "pioneer" taking the plunge, the girls shed their already dwindling sense of shame and became more agile and nimble.

Celery gritted her teeth, her face flushed, and retorted fiercely, "It's all Sensei's fault..."

“Since a while ago, I’ve been thinking about Sensei all the time, which has made me lose all motivation to manage the resort…”

"This time, we must extract as much as we can from Sensei..."

After Celery, it was Ayane's turn.

“This time we can reach a consensus with everyone. After all… even the good kids in Sensei’s eyes should have time to be ‘bad kids’ who have to vent their desires.”

Finally, there's Hoshino.

"Hey~ Uncle, I must be the worst-treated student in all of Abydos, right?"

"Not only have we not confirmed our relationship, we haven't even tasted Sensei yet..."

"At least Nomiya-chan spent time alone with Sensei at the beach... But I, an old man, am always interrupted by 'accidents' (*gritting my teeth)."

Hoshino licked his lips, his heterochromatic blue and gold eyes filled with danger and excitement.

"Since we're in such high spirits, why don't we take this opportunity to launch Abydos's first 'Sensei Sharing Conference'..."

Her final proposal was unanimously approved.

After a brief, hostile exchange of glances, the girls rose in unison and approached the bound Amamiya with a gradually encroaching pressure.

“Wait, wait…”

Left with no other option, Amamiya could only raise her voice to remind everyone: "...I called everyone here for a meeting, what are you doing here?!"

Hoshino: "'Sensei's Sharing Conference' is also a conference."

Amamiya: "..."

After a few seconds of silence, he had to change his story.

"In that case... let's put the important matters aside for now and talk about something else before getting down to business?"

Judging from the situation, Amamiya did not ask Fubuki what she was currently doing.

Asking another student in front of a group of students who were already struggling to suppress their emotions... well, it's just because I ate too many red beans.

After a moment's consideration, Amamiya activated her "succubus mode," exuding a gentle and reliable "adult aura" and filter that remained unaffected even when she was tied up, and softly asked Serika, "Is everything alright at the resort?"

"……~!"

Celery paused awkwardly, feeling as if an arrow had pierced her heart.

Almost making a strange sound, she quickly suppressed her emotions and returned a disgruntled look that seemed to say, "Sensei, you still remember to care about me, huh?"

"Although the business is a little tight... it's fine!"

"Abedos has been cooperating with Kawa and Shizuko from Hyakuyado regarding the operation of the resort. They discuss things together, so there's basically no need to worry about being scammed..."

“Is that so… Serika, you’ve grown up.”

Amamiya's expression grew even gentler.

“…Mmmm.”

Celery mumbled twice, "Sensei... if you keep doing this, I'm afraid I really won't be able to resist eating you, okay?"

Amamiya then looked at Hoshino, the warm and gentle aura emanating from her "senpai's back": "It's true that I haven't paid attention to the situation in Abydos for quite some time... Hoshino, has there been anything unusual about Abydos during this period?"

Hoshino gripped the corner of the conference table tightly, taking several deep breaths to restrain himself from 'losing his mind and lunging at Sensei', and finally managed to utter a sentence.

"No matter what, Sensei is always there to rely on... I've already moved past that stage of trying to be strong all by myself."

“If anything really happens… even if I can handle it alone, I will contact Sensei immediately.”

Amamiya then turned to Ayane, her eyes filled with the doting tenderness one would show when looking at a 'good girl'.

"Ugh..."

Ayane's true colors were exposed when she was 'seen', and she was so ashamed that she instinctively wanted to avoid his gaze.

After thinking about it, she ultimately did not do it.

"Where's Ayane? She's been busy with vehicle maintenance and flight practice lately..."

"No, there's nothing wrong, Sensi..."

The girl's voice, muffled and barely audible, was as she twisted the hem of her skirt.

"That's good... Ayane is indeed a well-behaved child who deserves attention."

Ayane let out a soft moan, covered her face with her hands, and blush spread to the tips of her elf ears.

"White piece..."

Realizing it was her turn, the gray-haired girl's previously fluttering wolf ears immediately stood up straight.
