Tokyo Heart Thief's Daily Life

By the end, her big eyes were twinkling and she was very excited:

"Wow! This is straight out of a manga! The Tokyo Psychic Team!"

"So the next step is definitely for me to control my superpowers and join your team to form an alliance of justice and revenge, right? ...By the way, Luo Zhen, you've actually been here for a long time?! So what's your superpower? ...Is it succubus? It makes the girls around you fall in love with you unconsciously?"

Luo Zhen: "Who do you think I am? ...Don't distance yourself from me now. If I really am this kind of succubus, do you think you can escape now?"

“Hahahaha~!≧▽≦”

Isshiki Wakaba, who was sitting in the driver's seat, was amused by the conversation between Luo Zhen and An He Subaru, which made Luo Zhen worried that she would get into a car accident.

While they were joking around, the silver SUV drove to an intersection.

After a while, a sneaky girl in a JK uniform sprinted over in small steps and got into the car as quickly as possible.

This is of course An He Subaru's other body, which had been notified in advance.

Isshiki Wakaba looked at the rearview mirror with curiosity, looking back and forth at An and Subaru on Luo Zhen's left and right.

"This is truly astonishing... Are you really not twins, but two bodies of the same consciousness?"

“‘‘Really~!’’”

Ann and Subaru deliberately answered at the same time, showing perfect synchronization.

They also deliberately squeezed towards Luo Zhen in the middle, almost spreading his thighs apart to sit on him.

The two bodies held hands and forehead to forehead in the middle of Luo Zhen, sharing the memories of the time they were apart.

This made Luo Zhen couldn't help but complain:

"Why do you have to do this now? Just how does your body work? How close do you need to be to share memories?"

"Actually, a range of ten meters is enough." Subaru in uniform answered with his eyes closed.

Subaru added, "I've tested it. Within a ten-meter radius, the two bodies are completely connected, and I can control them freely. At a fifty-meter radius, they can still sense each other and know their exact location."

"But if I exceed that range, I'll need to use [Split Thinking]. I'll noticeably feel my thinking doubled, and my fatigue doubled. Memories can't be shared, and it becomes very tiring."

Then they would have to return to close contact so that the memories of the two bodies could be shared again.

So this mechanism is indeed a bit dangerous.

The reason why An Hesuba was exposed was because her grandmother suddenly attacked her the morning before yesterday and added a temporary schedule to her schedule.

An and Subaru, who went to work, didn't know whether they should cancel the job, but they went anyway.

An Hesuba, who accompanied his grandmother to the art museum, unexpectedly met Luo Zhen, which led to the exposure of both sides.

Before this, she and Luo Zhen had been together for several months and nothing had actually come to light.

Luo Zhen at most felt that she managed her time too well, and he could often meet her at work, as if she was following him.

In fact, she was indeed following him, but she was also attending classes and being an excellent student at the same time.

Isshiki Wakaba was very interested in what she heard:

"Working part-time and attending classes at the same time is really great, doubling your time! Although the mechanism is a little different, it's like Hermione using props to go back in time to attend class."

Luo Zhen: "Although such cheating props have not appeared since that episode."

If there really is the ability to easily go back in time, that would be really awesome.

Well, anyway.

When they were about to arrive at Yokenjaya where the Isshiki family lived, the two An and Subaru's bodies also completed the memory connection.

It seems that it takes a certain amount of time for them to share memories, which is indeed reasonable.

After all, the amount of information in memory is so huge, and reading and storing double memories must consume a lot of brain power.

“......o(*////▽////*)q”

For some reason, after completing the sharing, An and Subaru both looked shy, rubbing Luo Zhen's shoulders without saying a word.

Luo Zhen definitely wouldn't know.

While he was seeing his grandmother off, An and Subaru, who were left at home, were very bored.

I used the sofa he slept on as a side dish and punished him several times.

This memory, coupled with the wonderful communication they had after grandma passed away.

When both sides are combined, double the memory becomes double the favorability.

This makes Miss An Hesuba, whose physical needs are also doubled, feel a little uneasy.

"...Hey~, hum~?"

Ms. Isshiki Wakaba, who was driving the car, saw all of this.

A girl’s heart is always filled with spring.

The mother who also raised an adolescent daughter who really needed Nutri-Express to supplement her body knew much more than Luo Zhen, the wooden man.

"Nara-sama, lovely Subaru, come in."

When they arrived at Isise's house, Ruoye's mother parked the car and led the two (three) people in.

Luo Zhen had only been to Isshiki's house once, and that was when he illegally sneaked in using the suicide time travel method.

That time he only went to Futaba's room, and did not violate any other rules.

Now Futaba is still in school, and Wakaba is the only one at home.

She brought Luo Zhen, An He Subaru into her studio, which was also the largest room in the entire two-story building.

“‘‘Ohhh…!’’

As soon as they entered the door, An and Subaru exclaimed in unison.

This is a renovated Japanese-style room with a tatami mat covered with bedding in the corner.

The rest of the room has been renovated in a super wasteland sci-fi style.

The circuits and optical fibers that had been modified independently were nailed all over the walls, and it was obvious that they had been modified over and over again.

Around the table with three monitors, various ingenious tools of unknown purpose are piled up in a mess, giving it the feeling of a mad scientist's laboratory.

Isshiki Wakaba didn't think there was anything wrong with it at all and asked Luo Zhen and the others to find an empty seat and sit down first.

While sorting out the scattered props in the room, Isshiki Wakaba was still explaining:

"Back when I was doing research in the lab, I considered the possibility of many other worlds influencing reality. One possibility was that, like Subaru, he could be influenced by his own subconscious—what you call the 'Shadow'—and cause all sorts of anomalies in reality."

"I know there must be a way for the other world and reality to communicate. But rather than the physical body traveling directly to the spirit world, I'm more inclined to suspect that the spirits from the other world would first acquire a physical body in reality. So, when I learned about your methods as a Phantom Thief, Master Luo, I was genuinely shocked! I never thought there was a way to travel directly from the physical body to the spirit world, and even faster than the other way around!"

An He Subaru: "(???)............Huh? Luo Zhen, are you a Phantom Thief?! The Phantom Thief who stole hearts?!"

Ah...it seems that this has never been explained before, and Luo Zhen has even forgotten it.

Both An and Subaru jumped up brilliantly, their expressions were so expressive.

And this girl is super rude:

"And you still say you're not a succubus! (? ? ??) If you can even make bad people repent, then you must be able to control my mind, right?! So I was definitely forced to fall in love with you! You deliberately made me fall in love with you!"

"You have to be responsible! If you don't take responsibility for me and don't date me obediently... some of my beautiful qualities, my looks, my figure, and even my soul will be destroyed~!"

Luo Zhen: "Okay, okay, okay. We can talk later about how you want me to take responsibility... But seriously, with your emotions out of control like this, are you really going to be unable to hide what's really on your mind?"

Luo Zhen discovered the second weakness of her current state.

Perhaps because of their compartmentalized thinking, when An and Subaru get excited, they tend to confuse what they're thinking with what they should say, causing everything in their hearts to leak out.

The girl also realized that she had been exploding all along, and the two bodies suddenly panicked and blocked each other's mouths. The scene was as funny as some classic cartoon.

During this process, Isshiki Wakaba finally took out her big treasure.

She pulled out three instrument-like prop headgear, the kind often seen in cheap science fiction films.

She handed the three headgear to Luo Zhen, An and Subaru respectively.

"Here, put this on. If my calculations are correct, this should help your spirits penetrate into the other world and forcibly awaken your subconscious (shadow)."

"Huh? I want one too?"

Luo Zhen pointed at himself:

"If I want to go to another world, I'll just use navigation, or another method will be faster."

“NONONO~”

Isshiki Wakaba shook her finger confidently.

This mother, whose personality is very similar to Futaba in some aspects, pushed up her glasses, revealing a strange highlight:

"As I said earlier, being able to travel to another world in one's physical body is an absurd thing in itself, right? I still don't understand how you, Luo Zhenjun, did it, but I can guarantee that this is definitely a power beyond human intelligence."

"On the other hand, if only the consciousness goes to the other world, that would be the more [normal] approach. And you can't find Subaru's shadow in the other world, right? Because she's right here."

That's true, Luo Zhen nodded in agreement.

Of course, he also tried using the Different World Navigation, but he didn't find An and Subaru's names.

This girl doesn't have a palace, and her desires are not twisted to that extent.

Moreover, her shadow is not in the other world at all, but has come to the material world and shares the body with her original self.

This meant that Luo Zhen couldn't simply ask her to change her mind to solve the problem, so he had to ask Isshiki Wakaba, the theoretical expert, for help.

The solution given by experts is this:

"After gathering intelligence about the other world from Futaba, I created this hypnosis device. It will stimulate a special kind of radio wave I discovered deep within the human brain, putting you into a deep sleep. And if I'm right, you will enter the other world as pure consciousness."

"This way, we can forcibly summon Subaru's shadow and understand the root of the problem. The shadow is a twisted desire. Only by defeating it and acknowledging it can it be transformed into a controlled personality mask, right? Then this is the tool I give you for your self-test. I call it [Isshiki Family Wonderful Tool No. 1: Self-Generator]!"

Luo Zhen: "This name will easily fail the review. Sister, please respect yourself."

Luo Zhen had already complained as much as he could, but whether Isshiki Wakaba listened or not was another matter.

She actively signaled An and Subaru to put them on quickly, and her attentiveness was terrifying.

An and Subaru, who were completely treated as guinea pigs, looked at Luo Zhen timidly.

But they may also know that this is the reason why Luo Zhen brought them here.

Therefore, An Hesuba gritted his teeth, stomped his feet... and put on this wonderful tool.

“…Humeow(* ?? ?* )?*Zzz”

The speed at which it took effect was extremely fast. After An and Subaru put it on, they both fell down in seconds.

Luo Zhen quickly caught their fallen bodies and let them sleep on the bedding next to them.

The light bulb in the funny device above their heads actually lit up and could actually generate electricity!

"Come on, Master Luo, put it on too. Do you trust me?"

Isshiki Wakaba's attentiveness was so terrifying that it made Luo Zhen's eyes twitch.

...But he really couldn't let An and Subaru face the Shadow alone.

Luo Zhen could only sigh, grit his teeth... and lay between An and Subaru, putting on his own generator.

169. Pure Love Subaru's First Time (4k5)

After a moment of confusion, Luo Zhen clearly realized that he had entered a different world.

There are no memories or dreams. This is the other world that Luo Zhen has long been familiar with.

The surroundings are a one-to-one replica of the real scene, and the location is still Isshiki's house.

"...Lord Luo?"

Next to Luo Zhen, An and Subaru were sitting on the futon with their legs hugged obediently.

She was wearing the fake JK uniform that Luo Zhen was already familiar with.

Because she was not wearing shoes, her navy blue socks were directly on the tatami.

As if she noticed Luo Zhen's gaze, she nervously tugged at her toes... her movements were quite cute.

But what surprised Luo Zhen was that she was the only one here.
