Tokyo Heart Thief's Daily Life

Ryuji: "Oh, sorry, I just went to the track and field club to discuss something. I'll just climb the stairs."

Ryuji: "Speaking of which, Suzui. You said you wanted to date Luo Zhen. So you like our leader? Hahaha, forget it! It's obvious that our leader isn't interested in girls. His priority is his career as a phantom thief!"

Zhifan: "'...'"

Xing: "'Futaba, plz.'"

Futaba: "『∠(°ゝ°)』"

——User [Ryuji Sakamoto] has been removed from the group chat.

Oh... Brother, you died tragically (???)

Luo Zhen switched to private chat with the confused Long Si and told him that his previous remarks were too despicable.

Although Luo Zhen didn't know why, the industry nowadays seemed to be very tolerant of girls making jokes about boys, but was very unacceptable of boys making jokes about girls.

This world is still too harsh on boys. Let Luo Zhen decide to ask Long Si to go to Lubrown alone later.

the other side.

During class that afternoon.

While Luo Zhen was concentrating on being an excellent student, the girls' private group chat continued to be lively.

Yoshizawa Sumire: "'So, so, should we declare our sovereignty tomorrow? What kind of person is that student council president? Can we just put a sack on her, tie her up, take her to a love hotel, and film her to make it a fait accompli and make her ours?'"

Xing: "Sumi-chan, you can be quite dangerous sometimes... I think it's best not to do anything truly criminal, okay? Besides, Luo Zhen would probably refuse."

Yoshizawa Kasumi: "'It's too pure love, that's Luo Zhen's problem. He won't even take the initiative for anything a little bit more aggressive, and we have to beg him to do it~'"

Momoka: "'He's pretty good at strangling me. Drinking does have its benefits. It makes you less rational and more instinctive.'"

Nina: "Hey! Where's the throat protection? Bad girl! ... No, bad old woman! "

In this all-girls group that kicked Luo Zhen out, the topics people talked about were obviously much more explicit.

Men's fantasies about girls are shattered here.

The smell of a girls' dormitory where I had lived for a whole year, the smell of cosmetics and spices, hit me in the face!

Shiho: "But, the president's sister is a prosecutor, right? I think this is a bit dangerous, isn't it?"

Amid the girls' banter, there were also some who were seriously concerned about Luo Zhen's safety.

As a complete and brainless fan of Luo Zhen, Shiho's thinking is still very clear.

Shiho: "'The Heart Thief has been so popular for so many years, many high-ranking officials have had their hearts changed, right? And Futaba's mother once did research for the government... Does that mean that many important people actually know about the existence of the other world?'"

Futaba: "'A small correction. Mom only predicted the existence of another world, hypothesizing that there is a dimension where the human subconscious exists. But most ordinary people don't believe it and still regard her research as a metaphysical field like hypnosis.'"

Futaba: "Even Mom never anticipated the possibility of physically interfering with the other world. There's no way anyone in the world could have guessed that we could travel back in time using our phones. It's outrageous."

That’s true, everyone can understand it very well.

Who could have imagined that there would be something even stranger than a comic book? Even if Momoka wrote the truth into a song, no one would understand it.

Shiho: "Even so, even if it's just hypnosis, those adults still want to catch the Phantom Thief, right?"

Shiho: "'The student council president's sister is one of them, right? Being targeted by the prosecutor sounds terrifying... Can't we do something for Luo Zhenjun?'"

Anzu: "Well, Shiho, I understand how you feel...but that prosecutor also has a palace. He seems very dangerous. We can't do anything on our own, right?"

Futaba: "Fufufu... Even if we can't directly capture the palace and make her change her mind, that doesn't mean we can't use practical methods, right?"

What? (???)

A group of pure and weak girls, facing Futaba, a typical Z-generation information girl, have a huge gap in the means and imagination they can use.

Through the screen, Futaba's sly laughter, unique to a otaku, seemed to be heard.

Futaba: "'Niijima Sae, 26 years old. 172cm tall, 60kg. At such a young age, she became a prosecutor in the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office's Special Investigation Division, an elite among elites... Even so, she's still not satisfied and actively seeks further promotion. Is this her current personality?'"

Yoshizawa Kasumi: "'Uh... I think, that's about right?'"

Yoshizawa Sumire: "'The personal information is too accurate... Futaba-chan, you are not going to open it again...'"

Futaba: "No, no, that's just the beginning. I haven't dug out her grades or teacher comments yet, or whether she's been with men, or if she's ever had prostitution, or how many times she's checked into hotels. I haven't checked any of that yet."

Futaba: "'What I'm saying is that these days, even without resorting to illegal means, you can uncover a lot of a person's secrets simply by collecting public information.'"

Futaba: "'As I also found out, both the Niijima sisters have lost their parents. Their father, a police officer, died in the line of duty ten years ago. While attending university, the elder sister Niijima became her younger sister's guardian, raising her ten-year-younger sister without relying on any relatives. From this upbringing, it's easy to profile the reasons for her personality.'"

"'By the way, this information was written by my younger sister in her composition, and she even won an award in the city~'"...Futaba added with a giggle.

Wow... (?°?°?)???

As expected, they are the mother and daughter who have been conducting psychological profiling on the Phantom Thief for the past three years and have almost figured out Luo Zhen's character without ever meeting him.

Although Futaba is still very young, she is also extremely socially anxious.

But this knowledge is already very much in the style of a mother.

Even if she doesn't become a hacker in the future, she will be an excellent psychological researcher.

This made outstanding athletes like the Fangze sisters admire them so much that they didn't feel any envy or jealousy at all.

Well, anyway, Futaba's meaning is actually very simple.

Futaba: "'Niijima Sae. She's raising her younger sister, attending university, and striving to become a prosecutor. Joining the Special Investigation Department at the age of 26, her resume must be quite impressive. She must have given up all personal entertainment to work.'"

Futaba: "'So, of the cases she's handled, how many were handled with swift and stern judgments, and how many were handled due to insufficient evidence? The Tokyo prosecutors' conviction rate is 99.9%, so every case she's handled must be a guilty one. If there's even one case that's questionable due to insufficient evidence, and if it were to be made public, it would easily cause public outcry, then her perfect career would be thwarted.'"

Could a young prosecutor, desperate for advancement, accept such a blemish on his record? Even if it was just a potential source of public opinion?

...When the other girls saw this, they all felt their hands getting a little cold.

Shiho: "'Futaba-chan...it's great that you're Misa Amane and not L.'"

Futaba: "If Luo Zhen wants to be the god of the new world, then I would be happy to be Misa Amane."

Seeing this answer, Rencai was extremely shocked!

She hurriedly asked, "Who is Misa Amane? ... Is she Luo Zhenjun's new girlfriend?! (???)"

Taoxiang: "'I'll rent a disc and show it to you tonight. Don't interrupt me now.'"

This country girl from Kumamoto Prefecture really had very strict upbringing and hasn't read many comics.

Futaba: "'Anyway, that's it. I can dig into Niijima Sae's past cases and find a weakness that will make her panic and guilty. I think it would be faster to change her heart directly in another world, but even if it doesn't go that far, just using it as material for threats is also good. ...But Luo Zhen probably won't agree to me doing this, so there's nothing I can do~'"

After all, she is the good kid who listens to Lord Kaito the most, and Futaba's desire to show off is overflowing.

Although she hasn't even awakened her personality mask yet, it's hard to say whether she can be considered an official employee of the Phantom Thieves.

But if we talk about how dangerous the Phantom Thieves are today, apart from Luo Zhen, Futaba is definitely the most terrifying.

And to be honest, although the girls wanted to help Luo Zhen share his worries, they are also ordinary people with kind natures.

There aren't any sociopaths among them, or the type who get carried away with their superpowers and want to do whatever they want.

Because they all knew that their power was given by Luo Zhen.

The presence of this super self-disciplined thief boyfriend has invisibly planted a very firm wedge in their hearts, preventing them from becoming arrogant and going astray.

......but.

Being proactive and self-disciplined and not opening the box to threaten Sae Niijima doesn't mean they don't want to do other things.

Yoshizawa Kasumi: "Futaba-chan, can you please do me a favor?"

When the topic was almost over, the Fangze sisters spoke one after another.

Yoshizawa Sumire: "'Could you please, please, please forgive our father?'"

Yoshizawa Kasumi: "'The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Shinichi Yoshizawa.'"

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

......That night.

When Luo Zhen returned home to cook, he found Momoka and Nina sitting on the sofa, watching a 37-episode classic old animation intently.

This made Luo Zhen feel very unlucky. It looked very dangerous to the Phantom Thief.

Can't we watch more animations of beautiful thieves wearing tights? That kind of thing is so pleasing to the eyes.

Anyway, Luo Zhen said while preparing dinner:

"If I don't have anything to do tomorrow, I'm going to the art exhibition this morning. Nina, are you guys going to Kichijoji tomorrow? Do you want me to make you a bento?"

Nina: "Mmm~! Luo Zhen, I'm not the girl who goes on a spring outing and needs my mother to make me a lunch box, okay? So, no need for a lunch box, just give me some pocket money (?'?`?)"

Okay, okay, okay, Luo Zhen’s father smiled very dotingly.

Momoka then asked, "So, Luo Zhen, what are your plans for the art exhibition? What exactly are you going to do?"

Luo Zhen: "I haven't decided yet. Anyway, I want to get closer to that Kitagawa Yusuke. It would be even better if I could be invited to his house."

Although Luo Zhen said this as if he were making an offer, it was definitely not the case.

There is a psychological barrier blockade in Madarame's palace.

It was something that could not be dealt with unless it was broken, and no one could enter the depths of his palace.

In order to break this line of defense, Luo Zhen needs to "let Madarame see his secret being exposed with his own eyes."

There is no point in simply breaking into a house and picking the lock; the key is to expose the secret itself.

So Luo Zhen's idea was to go to Madarame's house legally and legally, and then find a way to expose him.

"But this could easily involve my personal involvement, which is actually quite dangerous. The student council president took the initiative to invite me to the art exhibition, which does reduce the suspicion of me actively trying to get close to Madarame... But whether or not I should go to his house is another matter."

When it comes to being a phantom thief, you can never be too cautious.

If Luo Zhen was straightforward and tried to get close to Kitagawa Yusuke, went home with him, and caused some trouble to expose Madarame's criminal secrets.

A few days later, Madarame was reformed.

Although normal people would not make such a direct association, it is already very dangerous for those who are interested.

This is indeed very hard...Momoka and Nina nodded with emotion.

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

......So, the next day came.

Luo Zhen got ready early in the morning and changed into the high-end brand-name men's clothing that Xing had given him as a reward for taking photos.

Although the whole thing ended up taking a turn for the worse, turning into a chaotic night for the three of us...

But these clothes had to be kept anyway, so Xing gave them all to Luo Zhen.

Luo Zhen really couldn't understand why clothes of similar styles could have prices that differed by more than ten times.

But that's not the point either.

After all, clothes are also a social tool, and the good or bad evaluation of them is seen by outsiders.

Luo Zhen first met up with the Yoshizawa sisters, and then they waited for Shinjima Zhen at the subway entrance closest to the art exhibition.

"--Sorry, what a long wait?"

As the classic lines from a TV drama came out, the student council president of the Luo Zhen family made a brilliant appearance.

Her private clothes are indeed consistent with her personality. She looks so serious that she doesn’t even look like a high school student.

Maybe it was intentional to avoid people misunderstanding that this was a date.

She wore a pair of cropped trousers under a tailored jacket.

The feeling she gives people is even beyond the scope of college students. It is not surprising to say that she is a young office lady working in a company.

Luo Zhen also said the usual line: "No, we just arrived too—"

Yoshizawa Kasumi: "Good morning, Niijima-senpai~! Your casual clothes are so cool, where did you buy that jacket? I want one too~!"

Yoshizawa Sumire: "Yeah, President-senpai looks really good in this cool style. And you have a great figure, too. Are you doing any exercises?"

“Huh? Ah…huh??”

As soon as Shinjima came up, he was stunned by the Super Sisters' offensive and was so panicked that he didn't know how to respond.

Even though she looked at Luo Zhen for help, he just smiled helplessly.

She had no choice but to deal with this pair of celebrity schoolmates:
