Tokyo Heart Thief's Daily Life

Hey, that’s really impressive… Rencai was a little impressed.

It is true that the stereotype is that rock musicians are poor academic performers.

He is the kind of person who lives for today and lives his life in a muddle.

Yamada Ryo, who bullied (?) Luo Zhen, is a typical example, very despicable.

Although Nina admires Momoka and likes singing and listening to music...she really doesn't want to learn this aspect as well.

But can she get into university while taking care of the band?... Renai really doesn't have the confidence.

"...If it really doesn't work out, then I don't mind not applying to university... After all, I have both a band and a career as a phantom thief, and that's what makes my life worth living..."

Renai pouted in Luo Zhen's arms.

Enjoying the broad chest and hard, solid touch of my boyfriend of the same age.

Her heart was itching to practice chords with him in bed as soon as possible.

But.

Luo Zhen, who was concentrating on doing his homework at the moment, spoke:

"As long as you don't regret it, I support all your choices. I also think it's great to be in a band with Momoka-san for the rest of your life. Whether you go to university or not is not a big deal."

"But the job of a phantom thief is something you can't keep forever. I always feel that this kind of supernatural power is very dangerous. It feels like someone is deliberately setting me up. You never know when something bad could happen."

Hmm...Momoka and Nina both fell into deep thought.

After all, they had just awakened and hadn't even completed a palace raid, so they didn't have any real sense of this aspect.

For them, the ability of the Phantom Thief is currently more like a stealth game, and it is really exciting to play it in another world.

So after hearing what Luo Zhen said, they were excited but also mentally prepared. They couldn't really treat the thieves as their meals.

"Okay, done."

Luo Zhen, the God of War, returned and quickly finished all three of Renai's homework.

Just as Rencai was cheering and turning over to hug Luo Zhen, wanting to rap him to reward her.

Luo Zhen held Rencai very seriously, with a fatherly smile on his face:

"I'll erase the answers now, and you can do it again, Rencai. If you don't understand anything, just ask me. I'll stay with you until you finish."

"And Momoka...you've been dressing so indecently since just now. How can you set a good example for Nina?! For an adult like you, I need to correct you!"

“Aiya~(??＞?＜?)?”

Taoxiang laughed wildly and played around the table with Luo Zhen, chasing each other. In the end, she was knocked to the ground by him without any suspense!

This is the corrupt adult... the adult who doesn't need to read...!

"Wow...I don't want to go to school ('╥ω╥`)"

Good boy Rencai whined in grievance.

With a head of green celery on her head, she worked hard on her homework.

-------------------------------------

The next day, after school as usual.

When they met on the subway, Luo Zhen discussed the issue of the palace with the Fangze sisters.

Both sisters said that they guessed the keyword for several hours before going to bed, but they didn't guess it.

Yoshizawa Kasumi: "Since Madarame is a painter, I thought it must be related to a studio or art museum. But I tried everything and nothing worked."

Yoshizawa Sumire: "After what happened with Kamoshida last time, Dad has become wary of us. I don't feel comfortable asking Dad if he has any clues... I'm so sorry."

Luo Zhen: "This isn't your fault. It's right not to make things more complicated. Don't worry."

In the carriage that was as crowded as a can of sardines, Luo Zhen hugged his junior high school classmates, and did not forget to be intimate with them while doing the wall-bang.

Because everyone's thinking is different, especially those with twisted minds who have palaces, it is difficult for outsiders to guess what they will "perceive as what".

From this point of view, Kamoshida, who thinks of school as a castle, is indeed simple-minded.

Luo Zhen changed the subject:

"It's not all in vain. I found this ticket to the art museum while I was doing laundry last night. A weirdo gave it to me a while ago. I'll just go check it out when the time comes."

Oh oh…Sister Fangze took the wrinkled ticket from Luo Zhen.

The man named Kitagawa Yusuke, although he was very aggressive at the beginning, pulled Luo Zhen and wanted to draw a picture for him.

But considering that he doesn't look very old, he should be a high school student.

He might also be Madarame's student, which means he is one of the victims of exploitation.

And it’s different from the persecution that Kamoshida suffered.

While Madarame was exploiting his students, he was also involved in the relationship between adoptive father and son.

If all the students he adopted were orphans or boarding children, it would be very difficult to deal with them.

Whether or not to change your mind, you must first understand the facts.

"--Excuse me, everyone. You are students of Shujin, right?"

When they arrived at the station, Luo Zhen and the other two happened to meet a man who started talking to them as they were leaving the station.

This was a young man wearing the same old-fashioned glasses as Luo Zhen, and his slightly curly hair parted in the 3:7 style was very impressive.

Moreover, he was wearing a white coat over his tie and shirt, giving him the feeling of a third-rate barefoot doctor, looking like an unreliable uncle.

Fang Zexia nodded generously: "That's right. Uncle, what can I do for you?"

"Uncle"... The ramen-haired guy was hit hard by these words and looked miserable on the spot.

But he quickly cheered up:

"Actually, I've accepted the invitation and will be working as a psychological counselor at Shujin Academy starting today."

"I'm new here and don't know the way around. I'd like to ask if I could walk with you for a bit. My name is Maruki Takuto, please give me some pointers."

Psychological counselor......

Luo Zhen and the twins exchanged a quick glance and immediately knew what this person was up to.

Because of the Kamoshida incident, Shujin Academy suffered a great social impact.

Whether it is to change the subject or to show responsibility, hiring a psychologist to come to the school is indeed a method that the principal would think of.

Luo Zhen quickly responded:

"Hello, Mr. Maruki. The school isn't far, so come with us."

"Well, thank you. I have some candy here, would you like some?"

The man with ramen-haired hair and glasses smiled friendly and took out a handful of snacks from the pocket of his white coat.

The Fangze sisters both refused using the excuse of losing weight, only Luo Zhen took one pill out of courtesy.

Luo Zhen and Maruki Takuto looked at each other for a while through two pairs of glasses.

This guy with the ramen-like hair, who looks like a jerk, has a happier smile:

"You're such a popular guy, classmate, for a high school student to have such beautiful girlfriends. You must be a helpful person, I can see it in your eyes."

"...Is this considered a psychiatrist's perspective?"

Luo Zhen smiled noncommittally.

-------------------------------------

During the school's morning assembly, Maruki Takuto did indeed go on stage after being introduced by the fat, pumpkin-like principal, Kinbin.

Even on stage, he still looked like a slightly lazy, unsophisticated guy.

He said he was more of a stress reliever than a counselor, and asked all teachers and students to come to the infirmary to chat with him whenever they wanted.

When he finished speaking and wanted to bow, he bumped his head on the microphone, causing a burst of laughter.

After returning to the classroom, Xing, who was sitting in front of Luo Zhen, was indeed a little nervous:

"Hey, Zhen, do you think there's any danger? That psychiatrist will find out that we're the murderer of Kamoshida just by observing us... That shouldn't happen, right?"

Luo Zhen: "We didn't kill Kamoshida, so how can we call him a murderer? Besides, ordinary people can't know about things like the other world. Xing, don't be too nervous."

This silly girl was surprisingly sensitive in this aspect, so Luo Zhen naturally comforted her.

But something that happened afterwards made Luo Zhen suspicious.

After the first class, the student council president Shin Niijima came to see Luo Zhen.

Since Luo Zhen is now nominally a member of the student union, this matter itself is not surprising.

But things changed when Shinjima took out a list and handed it to him.

"This is the list given by the new counselor, Mr. Maruki. I hope these students will go and talk to him today, even if it's during class time. He has been granted the principal's privileges."

Luo Zhen: "Even if it takes up class time, you still want to talk? Isn't this a bit... huh?"

The moment he saw the list of names, Luo Zhen frowned.

There are more than a dozen names written on it, from first to third grade.

The first name I saw was 'Niijima Makoto', probably because they wanted the student council president to serve as a role model.

But many of the names that followed made Luo Zhen suspicious.

Ryuji Sakamoto, An Takamaki, and Shiho Suzui.

Yoshizawa Kasumi and Yoshizawa Jin.

Of course there is also him, Luo Zhen.

All the members of the Phantom Thieves who were studying at Shujin hit the target perfectly.

Luo Zhen remained calm and just asked:

"Who arranged this list? Did that Maruki-sensei write it himself?"

Shinjima nodded. "It's said he randomly selects them in random order. He assigns about a dozen students every day until he's finished talking to all of them."

"Because the workload is heavy, it takes up class time. Is there a problem with that?"

"......No."

Luo Zhen hid all his surprise.

Shinjima didn't suspect anything.

She simply gave Luo Zhen a few extra lists and asked him to distribute them to all the second-year students.

Since everyone has been assigned a time to go to the infirmary, it makes sense in theory.

Although Luo Zhen felt that something was fishy, ​​he couldn't make any comments now.

as predicted.

After receiving this list, the Phantom Thieves' group chat immediately exploded.

Sakamoto Ryuji: "'What's going on? Are we really not exposed?!'"

Fang Zexia: "'Please shut up, Senior Longtao! Your typing is hurting my eyes.'"

Yoshizawa Sumire: "'There are students from every grade on the list, so the chance of us being picked... should be there?'"

Takamaki An: "'By the way, Ryuji, you were the first one there, so don't say anything! If the Phantom Thieves' secrets are exposed, I'll burn you to death with Carmen!'"

Sakamoto Ryuji: "Why did you decide to make me take the blame... Captain! Please help me, Captain!"

Luo Zhen: "'Ryuji...it's time for you to go. Remember to report the details when you come back, don't let anything get out of hand.'"

After typing ruthlessly, Luo Zhen put down his phone like a good student and attended the class seriously.

After that, although there were many concerns, we did talk to everyone on the list one by one.

Ryuji, An, Shiho, and the Yoshizawa sisters.

Each person only took ten minutes, and all members basically finished chatting in the morning.

And after coming back, everyone did report the chat content in the group...it was really no big deal.
