I became a heart-stealing thief in Azure Files

She didn't know if she had acquired some new 'counter-surveillance techniques' or even more bizarre equipment to assist her—it seemed as if she came and went silently.

The surveillance equipment deployed near the police station failed to capture any more images of Wakazama after she completely disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Hey……"

After letting out a deep sigh, Ye Zhu looked at the dim ceiling and silently wrapped himself tighter in his blanket.

I don't want to move...

so tired...

……

After realizing that Wakazama wasn't responding, Amamiya promptly checked the other helpers' messages.

[Ayane: Regarding the land deeds and other issues in Abydos, I would like to ask Sensei for further confirmation...]

'...I also received messages from other people.'

[Jing: Do you have some time? How about we arrange to meet somewhere?]

'...'

[Ako: The matter concerning the Chairman is unforgivable...]

'...'

[Hoshino: I have something to tell Sensei that you may have already expected... Recently, Abydos finally completed the handover of all land parcels, deeds, and other contracts from the Caesar Group...]

[Hoshino: So, it seems I'm back to my 'duty' of patrolling the neighborhood every night to ensure the safety of the academy... If Sensei has time, you can let me know~]

[Hoshino: After all, there are still many 'life philosophies of my seniors' that I haven't learned from Sensei...]

'...'

[Kayoko: Sensei, I'm free tonight. If you're free too, we can chat.]

……

"I didn't expect there to be so many people helping out at night."

'So, who should I spend tonight with...?'

After lingering for a moment on the invitations that had arrived that evening, Amamiya felt as if she were suffering from "choice paralysis."

After updating Xia Lai's current [student profile], Amamiya decided to assign the duty roster for tomorrow before replying to the students' messages.

Previously, Yuka's "student file" contained only her own file, but now it quietly contains the files of all the members of the countermeasures committee, Hifumi, and all the members of the convenience store, totaling more than a dozen students.

With the current size of Xia Lai's student body, rotating the duty roster is actually quite easy—if it's a rotation every ten days or so, each student only needs to take one day out of every ten days or so to act as a duty roster member.

After automatically removing Hifumi, who had already completed her first day of duty, Amamiya selected from the remaining students.

Considering that Xia Lai has only recently opened and is still in the construction phase where all equipment needs to be installed...

Amamiya decided that Yuka would be on duty tomorrow.

He still needs Yuka's 'channels' to try and communicate with the engineering department.

In addition, this opportunity can also provide a clearer understanding of the problems that the game development department is currently facing.

After sending Yuka a text message saying "I'll be on duty tomorrow," Amamiya began to think again about who to ask out for the rest of the evening.

That being said... the Eden Treaty is about to be signed (or in a few months).

So, in terms of 'prioritizing the assistance relationship'...wouldn't it be better for me to first get closer to Gerina or the more influential students at Trinity?

Amamiya's gaze lingered on the message about "Amazusa Ako" for a moment. She considered whether she should try to build a good relationship with this "administrator of the Disciplinary Committee".

After much deliberation, Amamiya decided to deepen her relationship with this 'administrator'.

At least don't let her continue to misunderstand you or hold prejudices against you... so that she won't do anything in the future that doesn't agree with you and disrupts the whole situation.

Prevention is always better than cure.

Having made her decision, Amamiya sent a message directly to Ako's chat window: 【Want to meet up?】

[Yako: ...]

[Yako: Okay.]

[Ayako: I'd like to see what kind of face you have under that mask, you Sensei Sharai...]

[Ako initiated location sharing]

[Ako: Coming?]

Amamiya checked the location Ako sent; it was on a street in Gehenna that was probably a food street or pedestrian street.

Without hesitation, I replied: 【Come on.】

Amamiya: Hehe.

If you want to see... I'll let you see as much as you want!

Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Clash with "My Beloved Dog"

"Hey, Xia Lai's teacher, the days when you would sneak up on the chairman and force him to do strange things are over."

"Give me back the seat next to the Chairman."

"If you want it, come and get it yourself. You already know this rule."

(Undefined drum beats)

"I knew you'd say that... (Takes out her phone and starts dialing, calling the disciplinary committee member)"

"Let's settle this once and for all, Sensei!"

(Smile)

(Undefined drum beats)

……

Watching the disciplinary committee administrator make a grand entrance with several 'disciplinary committee members', Amamiya even imagined a somewhat subtle and absurd scene.

"Speaking of which... this should be our first time meeting Tianyu... and everyone in the Disciplinary Committee, right?"

Amamiya's expression was exceptionally unfriendly; she was staring intently at him with her light blue eyes, as if she wanted to torture him a thousand times with her gaze. She smiled and greeted him.

The blue and white themed clothing style, the crisp and clean outfits, and the slightly outrageous 'side hemisphere' clothing that particularly accentuates her mature temperament...

The blue hair and jellyfish hairstyle, which are usually associated with 'gentle girls', have somehow come together on this seemingly contradictory administrator in a way that is hard to understand, making her look like a 'melancholy girl' who seems to owe Amamiya money.

“Sensei…you…”

The imposing blue-haired girl stepped forward, and under the worried, admiring, or bewildered gazes of the disciplinary committee members around her, she leaned forward slightly, almost touching their faces, and glared at Amamiya, trying to unleash her "pressure".

"...Aren't you afraid?"

Amamiya was not afraid of the 'terrifying aura' emanating from this girl who was only ten centimeters shorter than him and had a fierce, dog-like demeanor.

[Malignant Charm - Enhanced Aura]; [Cute Destructive Desire]; [Kindness and Affinity]; [Crimson Calamity Charm], activated!

"The misunderstandings and prejudices that arise from various misunderstandings, and the resulting preconceived notions and misunderstandings... I will definitely try my best to eliminate them."

As Amamiya spoke, she silently took a step back about twenty centimeters.

Then, he put on the Persona of the Pope, further enhancing his aura of 'approachability as an elder,' and looked around at the disciplinary committee members who didn't know what to do with their compassionate gaze.

"Although saying this might be a bit shameless..."

"They are all my students, surely they wouldn't be trying to do anything without knowing right from wrong?"

"As members of the Disciplinary Committee, are you really doing this under the guidance of the Administrator? Is it really okay for you to break the rules? If the Chairperson finds out about this, she'll definitely punish you, right?"

A gentle, sun-like aura spread out, and for a moment, the disciplinary committee members felt a dazzling light.

'Oh...this...this kind of light...'

'Sensei, he's so gentle...'

'This...this is the radiance of an adult...'

'I heard the Chairman also receives this treatment... Is that true?'

'What should I do...? If I don't follow Administrator Ako's orders, I'll be held accountable by Administrator Ako later. But if I do follow Administrator Ako's orders, then I'll be held accountable by the Chairman later...'

Amamiya approached a disciplinary committee member who was looking down, agonizing over whether or not to back out at the last minute.

He held out his hands, face up, and said, "If Administrator Ako had given any orders to 'arrest me' before she arrived... then please don't hesitate to do so."

"If the Chairman holds you accountable later, I will do my best to plead for you."

The girl with short, dark blue hair, wearing a disciplinary committee uniform, who was called upon by Amamiya, felt the 'warm light' so close to her and subconsciously looked up. Following the hand in her line of sight, she met the brown-gray eyes of the young man who calmly extended his hand and smiled serenely.

'...! ! '

After a brief eye contact, Amamiya saw that the disciplinary committee member seemed to be completely dominated by shyness or some other emotion, and she lowered her head and remained silent.

"you……!"

Seeing the morale of the dozen or so disciplinary committee members she had brought so easily shaken by Amamiya, Ako was furious and clenched her fists.

This kind of talk... I don't know why... it just feels inexplicably annoying!

Also, I seem to smell a tea aroma...

After circling around the dozen or so disciplinary committee members that Ako had brought, Amamiya returned to Ako's side.

“Chief Administrator Tianyu…you asked me before, ‘Aren’t you afraid?’ Now I’m telling you…I’m not afraid.”

“Because of the teacher-student relationship, even if you speak ill of me and have a preconceived notion that I am a bad person, I still need to get close to you, help you relieve the pressure in your heart, and guide you to the right values ​​and growth path.”

"This is not only my responsibility as a teacher, but also something I should do as an adult."

Looking up at the night sky, I saw one star gradually becoming brighter among the countless stars.

Amamiya breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "If there really is some misunderstanding, then, Administrator Amamiya, just arrest me. I won't complain."

"If... this can erase the rift between us, and the resentment in your heart."

"..."

Yako clenched her teeth, her bright, pure light blue eyes about to ignite.

hateful……

Is this what 'adult negotiation skills' are...?

With just a few words, she has positioned herself as someone who is completely wrong and wrong...

If I were to impulsively continue to detain Sensei in the name of the disciplinary committee... wouldn't that directly confirm my claims of 'using my position for personal revenge' and 'having a rift with Sensei'?

"..."

After a long silence of several dozen seconds, Ako finally sighed and raised her hand to beckon to the disciplinary committee members who were already in a semi-enchanted state and would not take any action even if she ordered Sensei to be arrested and detained.

"...Let's disband for now."

“I’d like to speak with this Sensei privately.”

The dozen or so disciplinary committee members that Ako brought were immediately relieved and turned to leave.

"Hey, wait."

Amamiya suddenly called out to everyone who was preparing to disband and "go home."

"You've all been running around all day today trying to maintain order and resolve disputes, right? It wouldn't be good if anyone got injured or overexerted themselves..."

As Amamiya spoke, a cluster of pale blue flames ignited at her fingertips.

'Psona, Kaguya.'

— "Medi Lama".

A beautiful woman in a twelve-layered kimono appeared from behind Amamiya, and then she waved a folding fan with a moon painted on it, creating a cluster of emerald green light.

'Sigh... this feeling is...'

'Waaah... I feel like the blisters on my feet from the friction have all disappeared!'
