Tokyo Heart Thief's Daily Life

Hearing the familiar voice of their lead singer, Luo Zhen and Subaru turned their heads in unison.

I saw Nina-chan, who had just returned from private school, looking at me with a subtle (???) expression on her face.

And what about it.

While Luo Zhen and Subaru were still not reacting, Nina-chan skillfully took out her cell phone and took a picture of the evidence.

With irrefutable evidence of her boyfriend's infidelity with his bandmates in hand, Nina-chan continued to operate her phone indifferently:

"I knew this day would come, but I didn't expect it to happen so soon. Is this the inevitable path for a rock band?"

"I also have to thank you, Luo Zhen, for your dedication. You've used your lower kidney to expand our band's territory and continuously improve team cohesion. Thank you so much. ...Ah, Sister Taoxiang replied. She told you to be prepared and remember to bring a bottle of lubricant when you go home."

Luo Zhen: "I'm sorry, it's all my fault, please forgive me."

Luo Zhen hugged his cheating lover and really didn't want to be developed.

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

......So, the much-anticipated night arrived.

Stew stew stew stew~

As the portable gas stove burned faithfully, it drove the large casserole that Luo Zhen's family was proud of to boil, blending the aroma of various ingredients into it.

An He Subaru, who was visiting Luo Zhen's house for the first time, volunteered to serve food to others with a spoon like a hostess.

"Come on, Taoxiang-sister, Rencai-chan, you're welcome~ Have some lettuce and Chinese cabbage. Vegetables won't taste good if they're cooked too long and become mushy, so eat them quickly~"

Nina: "Eh...I prefer cooked vegetables. Raw vegetables have a weird texture. I hate them."

“Eh~?!”

An Hema was shocked and looked very difficult to accept:

"Why? Isn't vegetable salad delicious? The crunchy texture is so great! Sister Taoxiang, you think so too, right? Are you a raw pie or a rotten pie person?"

Taoxiang: "I'm fine with anything. If I have to say, it's the meat pie."

Ham~(ノ)`ω'(ヾ)

Taoxiang sat cross-legged at the table, stretched out her chopsticks to pick out the largest piece of thick-cut beef tenderloin in the pot, and ate it with such relish!

Because An and Subaru naturally followed him home.

Luo Zhen decided to splurge a little today and have hotpot.

He bought a lot of food along the way and let the three girls eat first, while he was busy preparing the food.

The man bought the tripe himself, cleaned it and cut it into slices.

He even found the shaved ice machine at home, put it in the bowl to cool it down, and placed slices of beef tripe on it to arrange the dish.

When he brought the dishes to the table, the girls all clapped their hands in admiration and said "Ohhhh~"

Rencai's eyes sparkled. "Wow! I've only seen this kind of ingredients in hot pot restaurants! So you can actually make it at home? Luo Zhen, you're amazing~!"

Momoka nodded. "Really? I've never seen you be so particular. ...Are you just trying to act smart in front of Subaru? You stuffy little man~?"

"No." Luo Zhen retorted arrogantly.

He pretends to be nonchalant on the surface, but actually he really enjoys the girls' praise.

The happier they ate and the more lively the atmosphere became, the more satisfied Luo Zhen felt.

This is even more satisfying than when they brag about how capable and powerful they are, and then beg for mercy and say they can't stand it!

This is the heart of an old father.

Luo Zhen continued to process his homemade marinated beef slices:

"When I went to the art exhibition last time, I brought that beautiful prosecutor's student council president's sister with me. She's quite the talent. I heard she prepares over thirty different kinds of ingredients for her every day."

"I'm just a little bit competitive. I find controlling salt intake and the like too troublesome, and I don't like feeling pressured when eating. But if we pay more attention to the variety and richness of the dishes, we can still do it. You can all look forward to it in the future."

The third girl: "Yeah~?"

The girls who no longer have any psychological burden about eating their boyfriends are all acting coquettishly and sweetly, enjoying it very much.

It's great to have a man at home who can feed every mouth, and it's great to be a woman?

After drinking a can of beer, Tao Xiang, whose face was slightly red, became more energetic:

"Subaru, you've awakened your Persona too, right? What's it called? What does it look like~?"

"It's the scarecrow, the one from The Wizard of Oz, right?"

Subaru said as he ate a fish ball.

They seemed to be discussing the professions of the characters they created in the online game, with a very nonchalant attitude.

After explaining the abilities and forms of his Persona, Subaru smirked and clapped his chopsticks.

"I never imagined that while I was toiling away in class and working a part-time job, Momoka-san and Nina-chan were still working as superheroes with Luo Zhen. I'm almost becoming a supporting character excluded from the main plot of this story. I might even be kidnapped and threatened by the villain in the future. It's so scary~"

Momoka: "I was surprised too. And I was kept in the dark for longer than any of you. ...But Nina was the biggest cheater. She knew Luo Zhen's specialness from the beginning."

Nina: "Eh? I was in danger back then too! I literally spent days escaping death in the palace! ...And Momoka-san was just like the heroine, she had a mental breakdown and had to wait for Luo Zhen and me to save her..."

Huh? (?ω?)

Momoka flicked her tongue like a gangster, then put her arm around Nina and started rubbing her head, causing Subaru, who was standing across from her, to burst out laughing.

It’s good to open up a topic and break the ice... Luo Zhen’s father kept providing fresh hot pot dishes to keep them talking.

Being able to share secrets that outsiders would never believe is very helpful in improving team cohesion.

Especially since the three of them are bandmates, they already have a spiritual resonance... and now they have a physical connection as well.

These are pure sisters, the kind that are closer than real sisters!

The more they talked, the more excited they became. They complained about the various settings and costumes in the other world, and were even willing to talk about each other's embarrassing dark history.

“…Speaking of which.”

The peach aroma after three cans of beer made him burp.

She crawled on all fours, raised her butt and took out her lyrics notebook from the sofa:

"My persona is the Cowardly Lion."

"Nina's personality is the Tin Woodcutter."

"And Subaru, your mask is a scarecrow, right?"

Is this a coincidence or a necessity... Taoxiang bit the pen cap and pondered.

Subaru also reacted:

"Oh yeah, this team is The Wizard of Oz."

"A persona is the embodiment of your subconscious, right? I can accept that I'm a scarecrow... because I've always felt like I'm brainless and just follow other people's expectations."

This may be a kind of inner mockery of myself, or a kind of inferiority complex.

The rational Subaru is very good at analyzing his own psychology and is not shy about it.

Rencai also felt the same way:

"I'm the heartless tin man. Stubborn, stubborn, and I protect myself with steel... I feel so embarrassed saying this."

Taoxiang: "No matter how shy you are, you are not as shy as me, right? I am a cowardly lion, the most embarrassing one."

The bandmates complained about each other and belittled themselves, revealing their own weaknesses.

The three incomplete people had nothing to do with each other.

But they formed a team and followed a girl named Dorothy on the journey to find the magical wizard.

This is a world-famous fairy tale, and its meaning is also very good.

The Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and the Lion all want to seek what they lack from the Almighty Wizard.

But in fact, they had already obtained everything they wanted during the journey, but they were not aware of it.

This can also be considered a treasure of One Piece, the so-called [ONE PIECE].

"...So, who is our wizard... no, Dorothy?"

...stare~ (???)

The three of them turned their heads in tacit understanding and looked eagerly at Luo Zhen who was marinating fish fillets.

This man is really amazing.

He even knows how to make marinated fish fillets with raw fish on the spot.

Although it is not marinated long enough and not very flavorful, it is enough for hot pot.

This all-round chef is a good man who can do all the housework and is willing to work hard.

Although she would nag like an old mother occasionally, she would still happily handle all the housework after preaching, and even wash the girls' underwear.

And he has good conditions too, he's tall and strong, very reliable to hold... and super capable.

The three girls all recalled the good memories of being held and played with by him, and their metabolism speeded up noticeably.

Mr. Doroshi (?), an innocent boy who hadn't yet realized the danger, joined in again with a new dish in hand:

"What are you talking about? What constitutes the image of a Persona?"

"I think it's more than just coincidence. There's definitely an element of mutual influence between you two. After all, human psychology is entangled with one another, which is why it's called the collective subconscious."

This man was completely unaware and was still speaking confidently:

"But you guys just happen to be three characters from The Wizard of Oz, which means you guys are destined to be together. I just wonder who Dorothy is that brings you all together... How about expanding the band? Get a bassist and a guitarist?"

The third girl: "『『Stare~~~(???)』』"

The three people, who were a little speechless about the dullness of Luo Zhen, exchanged glances with each other.

Anyway, they were all full and Subaru, who had just been fed in the afternoon, was hungry again.

Women at 17 and 20 are also monkeys. There is no time when they don’t want it.

They moved step by step towards the unconscious "Dorothy" and were still weaving a new fairy tale for adults.

Nina: "Momoka-san, I think it's very dangerous for children, regardless of gender, to venture out alone. If the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and the Lion had bad intentions, the protagonist would definitely be eaten alive, right?"

Subaru: "That's right~! Since this fairy tale is for children, I can't be too straightforward. But with a team of strangers like this, and the protagonist being a handsome young man (?), those three badass women who joined the team definitely wouldn't just stare and not be attracted to him, right?"

Momoka: "Hmm~. A dark fairy tale, for adults... I've got some lyrics! I'd love to make a wilder psychedelic rock track once in a while. It would be even better if I could find someone who can compose VOCALOID (V-family music)."

It’s a pity that I don’t know how to use that kind of software... Taoxiang sighed with regret.

But that's for later.

At this moment, Wen Baosi and the other two had no intention of letting Luo Zhen go, and had blocked all his escape routes.

Luo Zhen, who had worked so hard to provide them with food, had his eyes twitching:

"No, ladies... could you please wait for me to eat? I've been busy taking care of Subaru all day, I haven't even had a bite..."

The third girl: "'Then you can eat us~≧▽≦'"

Wow... Luo Zhen's face suddenly fell in anger.

Before we established a relationship, at first glance, I thought she was a very fairy-like and pure girl.

Once you get past that stage, it becomes really down-to-earth… too down-to-earth even.

Fortunately, Luo Zhen turned off the gas stove at the last moment. Always pay attention to the safe use of fire!

(Sorry, I made a mistake with another book when uploading the chapter! Because the number of words after the revision cannot be less than the previous one, so I added some placeholders. I'm really sorry! (? ? ?? ))

Happy Winter Solstice everyone (thanks to the fireless residue boss)

I didn’t even notice that the big guy gave me a thousand blades as a reward a few days ago ≡△≡ Sorry!

Thank you very much for the reward! I will work harder! (?? ? ??)

Another year has passed, time flies so fast??(ーωー?)

Looking back, I was still a 17-year-old JK.
