I became a heart-stealing thief in Azure Files

Aside from 'sincere recommendations,' in most cases, it's about 'not being the only one 'enjoying' it' and giving it a tacit positive review.

Amamiya tied on her apron and began preparing the necessary materials.

Before we officially began, he asked one last, earnest question: "...Arona, are you sure?"

"Yes, Alona trusts Sensei! Anything Sensei makes tastes delicious to Alona, ​​and she'll finish it all this time too!"

Amamiya twitched the corner of her mouth and shook her head.

Hopefully, you'll still be spouting such nonsense after you see the real thing.

Sometimes, no matter how exquisite the culinary skills are, they cannot save the 'recipe' from its own flaws.

While the ingredients were being prepared, Amamiya Teng asked Alona about the identities of the two students who were supposedly "limited-time" students.

Arona became increasingly smug when this was mentioned, hands on her hips, nose in the air, with an expression that said, "I'm so awesome."

"Ta-da! Here are two copies prepared for Sensei. Sensei probably has never seen them before, but she is still a student who has cast her vote for Xia Lai!"

They are—

They're even keeping us in suspense...

Such a grand occasion, could it be a student like Yuriko, whom I've never even heard of before?

Thinking this through, Amamiya quickly went through the list of students who had now joined Xia Lai.

There are students from various academies, ranging from several to more than a dozen.

The current Xia Lai... is completely different from the one at the beginning.

Today, Xia Lai is teeming with manpower...

"One of them is Itagaki Shikae from Wild Hunt!"

...Don't even mention it.

This student, Amamiya, was indeed someone I'd never even heard of.

However, since it came from Wild Hunt... Amamiya remembered Eri who had been looking for him not long ago.

He casually asked, "Like Eri, are you also a student of the Mysticism Research Club?"

"Hey~ Sensei guessed right!"

Amamiya: "..."

"What about the other one?"

"From Gehenna Academy... Kirara Yozakura!"

Amamiya has heard of that.

Indeed, he was a well-known student in Ghenna, and it was said that he could get along with anyone.

However, just because someone has heard of something doesn't mean they've seen it—Amamiya had only seen some photos of it on social forums in the Gehenna region.

She's a cheerful and optimistic girl who looks very bright and optimistic in photos, and has cute little tiger teeth when she smiles.

Unlike Amamiya, who doesn't release any bond skills and is unremarkable or even a bit melancholic in her 'default state', she clearly knows how to handle social situations.

Since Alona was able to carefully select these two from so many student files, it means that... they have some extraordinary qualities.

According to Amamiya's own standards of judgment, this means that he can be identified as a "helper" by the Third Eye.

Although Alona didn't actually bring any real surprise, Amamiya still cooperated by putting on a slightly surprised expression in order to make Alona happy.

"I didn't expect that..."

"I never expected that Xia Lai would be able to 'recruit' two more students with unique characteristics today..."

"So, Alona, ​​what are the new features you mentioned about the 'Shiting Box'?"

As a "black technology among black technologies", the Shiting Box is very unique in its technological scope.

It can deploy a force field shield to defend against most physical impacts, forming a localized area of ​​protection, and facilitate the control of students' combat, deployment, and rapid confirmation of various battlefield parameters...

What other special 'black technologies' could there be?

"This feature is a new function that Alona specially developed in conjunction with Sensei's 'Adult Cards'!"

"Students registered on the Sharai student roster can be summoned if necessary!"

"And... it's more convenient and intuitive to apply... unimaginable status buffs to them!"

Listening to Alona's explanation, Amamiya pretended to be curious, but in reality, he had already confirmed in his heart that Alona had taken out a part of the special mysterious carrier of the 'adult's card' that she had never used and reused.

Speaking of 'adult cards'...

From the moment he made a deal with the president of the Federation Student Council, Amamiya obtained this card of unknown origin, material, and function.

Even in its normal state, the "third eye" cannot unravel its mysteries, but it can understand its various uses.

To gain a deeper understanding of its origins, fundamental rules, and other profound mysteries... we'll probably have to get serious and take a serious approach.

But there's no need to just look at a small card that's not particularly useful to me...

Amamiya can do many of the functions that 'adult cards' can do—the only difference is that it's 'easier' and 'a little more difficult'.

It's the kind of 'treasured item' that's dispensable, just sitting in the warehouse collecting dust, and you wouldn't even think about it if you didn't mention it.

While engaging in intimate interactions with Alona, ​​Amamiya soon... amidst Alona's panicked expression as she realized something was amiss, served a full plate of "Strawberry Mapo Tofu," a dish that could no longer be described as 'cult classic'.

"This is the strawberry mapo tofu that Alona wanted..."

With a slightly uncomfortable expression, Amamiya placed it inside the Shitei Box and pushed it towards Alona, ​​who looked panicked and helpless as if she had seen a bug.

"sen, Sensei..."

Alona wanted to sniff, but the overpowering smell made her want to sneeze even while holding her breath.

With a pained expression, she leaned back against the back of her desk and chair, looking at Amamiya with a distressed expression, and asked, "This, really..."

"Yes, that's right. It was made according to the 'appearance' shown in the picture. If you don't believe me, Alona, ​​you can compare the ingredients and pictures in the post. Just add a filter and it will look very similar."

2 Jiu Qi VI Jiu $ Yi I Wo Liu + Alona's expression became increasingly distorted, and her voice also became somewhat deformed: "This, cough cough cough... this is really..."

Unable to describe the strange smell, Arona simply gave up and blinked pitifully, pleading, "Arona doesn't want to eat anymore...can I not eat it?"

Amamiya wagged her finger and shoved the spoon directly into Alona's hand: "That won't do... Since it was Alona who made the request, even if you don't finish it, you should at least try a little, right?"

"Arona doesn't want me to see her as the 'Blue Devil,' does she?"

"Woo!"

Alona, ​​furious and blushing, retorted, "N-no, I'm not some blue devil!"

Then she gave a somewhat resigned sigh.

“...But Sensei is right.”

"Since it's a work that Sensei put so much effort into, even if I don't want to eat it, I should at least try it..."

With a death wish, Alona reached for the plate of 'Strawberry Mapo Tofu' that was utterly lacking in color, aroma, and flavor.

Ten seconds later...

Alona, ​​the halo has been extinguished and cannot be rekindled.

'Tsk tsk... Can't even hold on this long?'

Amamiya poked Alona's cheek, shook his head with a look of pity, and brought Alona's used utensils and the strawberry mapo tofu that she had only taken a bite of back to the real world.

Alona's 'outage' could last for up to a full day.

Without Alona's assistance during this period... however, it doesn't stop Amamiya from proceeding with today's schedule.

"Let's go check out Trinity..."

Chapter 3 Sensei: When you're out and about, you need to protect yourself.

Holy Trinity.

This place can be considered the oldest school in Kivotos... with a very rich and unique 'humanistic atmosphere'.

However... strictly speaking, this is a place that Amamiya really doesn't want to come into contact with.

As for the reason... it's also because of the 'humanistic landscape' of Holy Trinity.

Most of the students active at Trinity College are elegant and well-mannered, usually humble and gentle, with composed speech and proper manners.

Contrary to their 'young lady' appearance... most of the Trinity students... always gave Amamiya a particularly subtle sense of danger.

If we compare it to Gersner's students...

The students of Gehenna may appear 'simple and crude' on the outside, and their first reaction when faced with a problem is 'if you don't agree, then fight!' But if they really intend to take things further... most of the students of Gehenna will definitely have an 'unexpectedly pure heart'.

But Trinity students... it feels completely different.

At least... here, Amamiya really had a sense of caution that 'the social strategy of 'attacking hard' should never be used on any student'.

"Sensei, do you have time to join our 'afternoon tea'?"

"Sensei, would you like me to explain the Trinity School Festival process to you?"

"I never expected to run into Sensei here... Um, good morning, Sensei!"

“Sensei, welcome to Holy Trinity… Um, there are some special preparations for the tea party recently, if you don’t mind…”

A group of girls with long brown, blonde, chestnut, and light pink hair, all dressed in the autumn school uniforms of the tea party members, and radiating elegant and beautiful smiles, extended an invitation to Amamiya that seemed harmless, yet made Amamiya's eyebrows twitch, sensing something 'malicious'.

If the invitation were extended by one of Gehenna's students... Amamiya might accept it without a second thought, provided there were no other options.

However, given the slightly more dangerous nature of the Trinity students, their various requests deserve careful consideration.

Amidst the chatter of voices, Amamiya noticed that the students didn't seem to be together, so she waved her hand with a forced, helpless smile: "Although I really want to grant one of your requests, I'm just too busy."

Leaning back slightly, avoiding the brown-haired girl's attempt at a cheek-to-cheek intimacy, Amamiya calmly said, "This trip to Trinity isn't just for sightseeing; there are other plans..."

"Oh~"

The girls who were politely declined were somewhat disappointed.

Knowing that it would be very impolite to continue asking 'What are the plans?', they came up with another idea.

"That might take a little longer... but could we take a group photo?"

Amamiya had no choice but to agree to this 'second-best' request.

"..."

Continuing with this ordeal of being entangled by small groups of students every few steps, Amamiya finally arrived at his first destination – the Rescue Knights.

Standing at the entrance to the Order of the Holy Knights, finally free from the almost endless 'harassment' of the Trinity students, Amamiya let out a long sigh.

When I come to Trinity next time... I'll just stick to the old ways and maintain my "invisible presence".

Also... as a Sensei of Xia Lai, an adult coveted by many students, you must protect yourself when you go out.

After observing the situation near the Knights of Rescue and combining it with what he had seen and heard along the way, Amamiya made a preliminary deduction about the recent situation of the Holy Trinity.

School Festival...

The atmosphere and scope of the school festival at Kivotos are quite different from the 'school festival' that Amamiya participated in at Shujin Academy.

The Shujin Academy's school festival is simply a special school anniversary event.

The school festival in Kivotos is more like a very special large-scale festival event.

Although it's not quite truly festive yet... there's a 'festival' atmosphere everywhere.

However, even in this joyous festive atmosphere, a small portion will remain unchanged.

The Rescue Knights, responsible for dealing with various situations, are the part that 'remains unchanged'.

"Ah... Sensei."

A familiar, mature, and sharp voice called out to Amamiya, who was about to wander around and look around.

"I never expected you to come to the Rescue Knights at this time..."

Along with this came the increasingly rapid thud of high heels approaching from afar.

Amamiya turned his head and immediately felt a gust of wind coming towards him—a subtle sense of fear, like a large vehicle stumbling and crashing towards him, as if he were being locked on.

Although being hit by a car wouldn't be a 'fatal injury' for Amamiya, the instinct she felt in that instant was ultimately hard to overcome.
