Zongman: Kulaixiku, resurrection!

"Welcome... Tsk, why is there another guy who likes sweets?"

When boss Sojiro heard the wind chime on the door ringing, he thought that business had finally come, but it turned out to be Kashiwagawa Sanki with Shoko.

Another weirdo who eats sweet curry! The last one was that pretentious little brat named Akechi Goro!

"Thank you so much for cooking a pot of sweet curry for me." Kashiwa Sanhui hung his windbreaker on the hanger at the door, and then handed the two small gift boxes in his hand to boss Sojiro.

"Is Futaba here? This is for her."

Boss Sojiro didn't answer, but pointed upstairs and shifted his gaze back to the live horse racing broadcast on the wall-mounted TV.

Xiangzi was looking at the menu, thinking carefully about the value for money if he were to eat out in the future.

"Um...Boss, could you please order a pork curry for me tonight? I'll pay you first."

Boss Sojiro's eyes lit up. This little girl knows what she's talking about! She's got class!

"No, I'll treat you!"

"Hey, hey, free or something is still a bit..."

Baihe Sanhui ignored the two gods downstairs and went up to the attic by himself.

The sound of thick-soled Martin shoes stepping on the wooden floor was a bit harsh. Futaba, who was playing games in Lian's arms, was startled and rolled and crawled into Lian's bed. She didn't forget to bring the controller and controlled the character on the screen to beat up Amamiya Lian.

I finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that the person coming was Kashiwa Sanhui... No way!

Immediately afterwards, the appearance of Xiangzi who went up to the attic caused Futaba to speed up and kill Lian's character one after another. After triggering the easter egg, she buried her head in the quilt. Lian sat aside at a loss, not knowing whether to pull Futaba out of her quilt or let her hide.

Of course, there is also the question of whether I should cover myself with the only thin quilt I have left tonight.

You can't catch the golden glitter of Le Blanc!

"Futaba, come out and say hello."

Lian finally pulled Futaba out. Futaba, wearing a tank top and safety boxer shorts, stood there awkwardly. She opened her mouth as if she had a thousand words to say, but in the end, she could only manage one sentence:

"Hello, doctor... hello to you too."

"Hello, my name is Toyokawa Shoko."

Oops, it's the Yang corner! A bit difficult to deal with!

"...Sakura Futaba, his name is Amamiya Ren, please take care of him."

The small gift box of snacks was placed on the workbench against the wall. Kashiwa Sanhui naturally took the controller from Futaba's hand, sat on the floor and started another game with Lian.

"So what's going on there? Are you some kind of high school tokusatsu team secretly protecting the world?"

Lian unreasonably knocked Kashiwa Sanhui's character into the air, causing him to lose half of his health, and he only pressed the attack button the whole time.

Oh my god, Kizaru.

"It's a bit complicated. Do you remember a while ago when many big names from all walks of life suddenly surrendered themselves?"

"Remember, you and your friends disappeared for a while."

"That's what we do. That place is called Impression Space. People's inner desires transform into shadows and reside there."

Kashiwa Sanhui seized the opportunity and killed Lian's character in a row. Lian glared at Kashiwa Sanhui impatiently, put down the controller and let Xiangzi and Futaba, who had just become familiar with him, come on stage, and concentrate on talking to Kashiwa Sanhui.

“Some people’s desires are so strong that they create a place independent of the space of impressions called a palace.”

"The palace is often filled with more powerful shadows, who, together with the palace's owner, guard the palace's core - the heart."

"Steal the heart from the palace, and the owner of the palace will repent and confess all his sins truthfully in reality."

Xiangzi, who was playing games with Futaba, had actually been quietly listening to their conversation. After being knocked into the air by Futaba, he felt that there was no chance of getting through three times, so he simply turned around and asked Lian, who was talking freely:

"What if the heart is destroyed?"

"...If they die, the owner of the palace will instantly lose all consciousness, retaining only instincts, becoming a cripple, and then die for various reasons."

Just like the tram driver at the beginning, and the former principal who was so handsome...

"That's not bad. If the Palace Master is a heinous bastard, it wouldn't be bad if he died like that."

Kashiwa Sanhui didn't care. This meant he had one more way to deal with difficult bastards. As for the bastard's death... it was like, open the champagne!

"Hey, you are an adult after all, how come you have no respect for the law?" Lian couldn't help but laugh bitterly. It turned out that this seemingly reliable adult was actually Akechi Goro No. 2!

"Everything has two sides. If the law can't deal with some damn guys, it wouldn't be a bad idea to have someone with special abilities like you, Lian, to do the job for them." Kashiwa Sanhui opened the box of snacks he bought and distributed a donut to each person.

"As for those whose crimes don't deserve the death penalty, it's a bit of a hassle to steal their hearts and have them surrender."

"You're obviously one of us now, so why are you trying to clear yourself of wrongdoing?"

"I don't like to be in the spotlight. I only use this ability for self-protection."

White chocolate is lighter than dark chocolate, but it has a milky taste.

"So this is your way of saying you don't want to join the gang—our Phantom Thieves?"

"No, I'm a lazy adult and have no interest in enforcing justice." Swallowing the dry donut, Kashiwa Sanhui lazily explained. "But tonight I'd like to ask you seniors to help me, a junior, conquer the palace of a jerk."

It would be best to speed through Rome in one life, as I still have to supervise the exam on Monday. Who knows, that guy Liang might cheat on me, and it would be difficult to rescue him.

"One day?" Lian and Shuangye were a little overwhelmed. "When we went out before, it might take us a month to complete a palace, and you actually thought you could complete it in one day—"

"Len," Futaba poked Lian's cheek and reminded him, "Maybe the doctor has already been there once, and maybe he's pushed the case in front of the big boss."

In that case, is it really possible to finish it in one day?

"Almost. I'm already familiar with that guy and the structure of the palace...if there are no underground facilities."

Residential area - port - lake island - opera house - Senate, five points ABCDE.

Judging from my performance that day, if I went there, I would have accidentally entered the McDonald's kitchen and that would have been the end of my luck.

The unique advancement plan of the Battlefield Pro brother is clear, which means that the AA car cannot be driven in, otherwise it may be done before dinner.

"So... Xiangzi-san seemed to have appeared in the memory space that night? Does Xiangzi-san also have a personality mask?"

Futaba asked curiously. Xiangzi was a little nervous when he heard his name, fearing that Kashiwa Sanhui would give an order not to let him move together.

"At the same time, please ask Lian to find someone to watch Xiangzi. A weak high school girl shouldn't be involved in this matter."

Who are you looking down on?

If there weren't strangers here, I, Toyokawa Shoko, would have breathed on you!

"Okay, I'll ask Ryuji to keep an eye on Xiangzi. After we have dinner tonight, we'll get ready and set off."

Kashiwa Sanhui suddenly felt his scalp tingling.

Ryuji... that athlete should just calm down. He seems unreliable...
