I became a heart-stealing thief in Azure Files

Amamiya deliberately asked in a calm yet slightly eager tone, "When can we begin the 'student registration transfer'?"

【~???~】

'hehe……'

After a light laugh, Hua Ye gave a vague reply: "Regarding the transfer of student status... this matter can only be handled when the pressure on the Defense Office eases up recently."

“I know… Sensei, you’re probably a little anxious, but some things can’t be rushed.”

"But please rest assured..."

"If Sensei really likes the Fox team, he probably wouldn't refuse the four 'little gifts' that are suddenly delivered to your bedroom one day, tied with red gift ribbons and completely obedient to you."

Amamiya: "..."

How could anyone say something like that?

Hua Ye, you rascal.

What do you take life for?!

While inwardly complaining, Amamiya maintained a calm expression, showing no reaction whatsoever to Hanaya's 'test'.

[My bond with Hanaya has deepened...]

【Shiranui Hana (Desire) ★★★★★★★★☆☆】

The real 'testing' phase should now be considered completely over.

After chatting with Hana about various issues concerning the Federal Student Council, it wasn't until noon that Amamiya finally saw off the "distinguished guest" who had opened up and was talking more and more, citing the reason that "the coffee shop still needs to serve students as usual in the afternoon."

After a long absence, Amamiya once again felt the 'physical and mental exhaustion' of dealing with interpersonal relationships.

The conversation with Huaye was full of twists and turns, but the core message boiled down to just one thing—

'If Sensei likes 'foxes,' you can pack up all the members of the Fox Squad, gag them with red gift ribbons... stuff them with cloth strips, and send them to your bedroom.'

Amamiya's answer to this was quite simple—

'Muzan... Shiranui Hihana! You bastard! What do you take your life for?!'

Isn't it amazing how words can be 'carefully tailored' (taken out of context)?

While the idea of ​​the entire Fox team being washed clean and then only tied up with ribbons before being sent to the bedroom might be tempting, Amamiya has a stronger feeling that if the Fox team were told about this, Hanaya might be the one tied up in the bedroom instead.

The Fox team is alright; each member is sweet and tender, and each has their own unique characteristics.

But Hanaya... Amamiya really felt that he couldn't muster any interest in her at all.

To avoid the terrible ending of 'Hana being tied with a ribbon in a gift box, making a 'whoosh whoosh' sound like thermal underwear, and then being sent to her bedroom'...

Amamiya decided to contact Rin immediately.

Chapter Thirty-Eight: Rin: I didn't, I didn't...

Although it was said to be immediately...

However, Amamiya would never do something as foolish as 'Hayao leaving Xialai and then immediately going to the Federation Student Council to find Rin'.

Even someone like Hana, who is confident in himself as a superhuman but is actually an idiot, could see something was off about this.

Therefore, Amamiya contacted Rin immediately.

Amamiya took out her phone and sent Rin a MomoTalk message.

[Important message highlighted in red] Amamiya: Rin, there's something I need to tell you... It's important news regarding the acting chairman and head of the defense office.

This should be his first time using momotalk's "highlight important information" feature.

And the effect it achieved... is quite evident.

Although she didn't know what Rin was doing, Amamiya soon received a holographic call from her.

After the holographic image blurred twice, Amamiya saw a blue-haired girl who was clearly wearing casual, loose-fitting clothes and enjoying lunch.

The thin, oversized, lightweight shirt revealed that the lower half of her body was completely—one could easily deduce from her appearance that she was only wearing panties, or even possibly underwear.

Sitting at a private dining table, besides the glasses, there was a cup of coffee and a plate of omelet rice with the abstract portrait of the 'President of the Federal Student Council' painted on it.

Having just put down her spoon, with oil and rice grains still on her lips, Rin asked somewhat hastily, "Sensei, what exactly is going on with this message you sent?"

"Has...something happened?"

Amamiya remained silent, but instead looked at Rin in the holographic image with a slightly curious gaze.

The thin white shirt, partially revealing her figure, was most alluring when stretched out by her mature and voluptuous body.

"It's a very important matter, but not the kind that will immediately jeopardize the entirety of Kiwatos..."

Amamiya pondered for a moment, his gaze lingering briefly on the girl's oversized white shirt.

Rin breathed a slight sigh of relief, then felt a little uneasy and shy. She moved the chair further in and tried to cover herself with the table to hide the fact that she was not wearing anything. The only thing covering her lower body was her slippers.

"...sen, Sensei?"

"Your gaze is a little..."

Amamiya interrupted Rin's behavior, which was tantamount to 'the guilty party accusing the innocent first', by speaking directly: "Rin... it seems that there have been a lot of 'clothing thieves' in the Xialai residential area recently."

"My clothes... especially my shirts, often mysteriously disappear for various reasons. Do you have any clues about this?"

The words that were about to be spoken got stuck in Rin's throat. She opened her mouth, but was speechless.

Amamiya continued quietly, "The outfit Rin is wearing now... seems to look a lot like the one that went missing when it was being aired out a week ago."

cold:"……"

Her cheeks flushed bright red, and her elfin ears began to twitch slightly but rapidly, as if to 'cool down', leaving Rin frozen in place.

After a long silence, she straightened her chest as if to appear serious.

"I'll explain the clothing issue to Sensei later... that's not the point."

"The important point..."

Suppressing her shame, Rin tried to adopt the cold, sharp demeanor she usually displayed at work.

However, everything she did felt awkward, and the shame became unbearable, so Rin fell silent again.

"...Never mind. Since Sensei has already seen it, there's no point in doing this."

After letting out a sigh as if making an appointment, Rin's tone immediately relaxed completely.

"...Sensei, what's the important news about momotalk?"

"Some things need to be discussed in person. But some things can be said now..."

After carefully choosing his words, Amamiya suddenly asked a question: "Rin... you must be having a hard time holding on right now, right?"

【~???~】(Rin)

Rin in the holographic image was taken aback, then her expression softened.

"...It was indeed very hard work."

“Sensei, you should know... I have been suppressing myself.”

"And I am well aware that... if the pressure keeps piling up, it will eventually become such a large thing that it will eventually become an uncontrollable flood."

"But I can only keep going."

Her tone was soft, but Rin's determination remained unwavering.

"The time between nightfall and dawn is the hardest to endure... I can't fall here."

To borrow a maxim from a literary work—"If I fall before dawn, do not weep for me. For my passing is merely the darkness before dawn."

He truly deserves to be called "Advisor" Arcana's assistant...

Rational and resolute, yet struggling to persevere for things that cannot be accomplished immediately.

"Even if Rin manages to hold on... the various room leaders in the Federation Student Council have already been complaining about her. Rin should be able to notice that, right?"

Rin didn't understand why Amamiya would suddenly bring this up, but following her intuition and based on her long-standing observations and experience, she nodded in agreement.

indeed……

Although he, as the 'acting president,' did indeed have authority no less than that of the president before his disappearance, he was powerless to handle all kinds of matters, big and small.

Thanks to Xia Lai's arrival and her efficiency in handling official business...

Now, various departments have even subtly developed the habit of 'pushing many things that Xia Lai shouldn't handle to Xia Lai'.

I can indeed share some of the burden... but the key issue is that they won't let me share it.

Large and small, overt and covert methods... Rin, standing in the position of acting chairman, has seen quite a few.

However, the "advisor's" rationality and calm, thorough work attitude prevented her from bringing these matters to the forefront.

...Then, unexpectedly, the heads of these departments started to 'go even further'.

"...Perhaps due to my personal reasons, I am now facing the classic 'syllogism' dilemma."

It's that classic syllogism: "At first we could do something, but we didn't," and "By the time we wanted to do something, it was too late."

After a brief silence, Amamiya sighed and said, "Rin, in this regard... it was indeed your personal mistake."

【~???~】(Rin)

When Rin was pointed out for her mistake, she felt no shame or embarrassment.

—If it's a mistake you made, why not admit it?

She carefully chose her words: "Sensei suddenly brought this up not only because she saw my mistake, but also because...Sensei has a way to resolve the mistake?"

"Ah."

Amamiya nodded, paused for a moment, and then continued, "But this is related to my 'special contact' this time."

"Let's keep this a secret for now and save this topic for when we meet?"

"Um……"

Rin also understood that some things couldn't be explained in this way, and it was also very dangerous.

She nodded and was about to hang up.

Seizing this perfect opportunity, and recalling Mutsuki's mischievous tone during her 'prank,' Amamiya sighed enigmatically, "Speaking of which... I never expected that Rin-chan, who's always at home, would dress so... H."

【~???~】

"?!"

Rin was taken aback, then startled, instinctively realizing that she hadn't adjusted the angle properly and had accidentally revealed something.

She was practically a 'steam princess' and didn't care about etiquette. She left with a "talk to her later" and hung up hastily.

"Beep—"

'She really is... easily teased... easily tricked.'

Amamiya smiled and shook his head.

Rin's MomoTalk was silent for a while, but after only two or three minutes, Amamiya saw several selfies sent from her, with her face covered by a phone, and the 'anime-style blushing effect' seemed to be reflected on the screen.

[Rin: I'm sorry about the clothes.]

[Rin: This is indeed the one you lost, Sensei. We'll discuss how you got it when we meet.]

[Rin: Regarding the matter of taking your clothes... please don't pursue it.]

[Rin: To express my apology...]

Rin: [Images][Images][Images]

Wow, there's even hush money.

Amamiya genuinely didn't know whether to comment on Rin's filming skills as good or bad.

Even though nothing was exposed, the photos still managed to capture a very different vibe.

They also saw a 'special side' of Rin, which can be considered a breakthrough for further development of their relationship.

After replying with a message saying "Saved as special material," Amamiya ended the MomoTalk conversation amidst Rin's continuous stream of single question marks and occasional shy emojis.
