Tokyo Heart Thief's Daily Life

At this time, Luo Zhen heard another somewhat funny voice.

A round, furry head.

A creature that looked like the doll costume Momoka wore when she worked at the ice cream shop crawled out from the ashes of the ruins.

Its (?) pair of oversized mascot-like eyes were now rolled back in fear:

“So dizzy, so dazed… You almost killed me just now! Be careful when you attack… Wow!?”

This strange cat with a big head that looked like a plush doll was so frightened and woke up when it saw Luo Zhen suddenly pull out a pitch-black gun and point it at itself.

Luo Zhen looked suspicious:

"What are you? A shadow? This is the first time I've seen a shadow so vivid... But there's no time to study it. Let's kill it first."

Weird Cat: "Wait wait!? I'm not a shadow, absolutely not!"

This strange creature raised its short cat-paw hands, which were not even half the length of its big round head.

It couldn't even hold its face with its short arms, let alone its head, so it could only rely on the atmosphere to signal its surrender:

"I was also captured by the shadows here! So was the golden-haired kid behind you. I saw him mistakenly enter here this morning and get captured! I wanted to save him, but there was really no way... Oh, right!"

The strange cat suddenly had an idea:

"Persona! Since you can use such a powerful Persona, you must be the real Phantom Thief! Those who can control Personas are good people, you can always believe this!"

That’s not necessarily true, Luo Zhen complained in his heart.

He doesn't even think of himself as a good person, let alone others who use personality masks.

Then again, Luo Zhen had never met anyone with the same abilities as himself in his life; he had just fantasized about it many times.

...and then.

Luo Zhen's three years of anticipation, suspicion, and imagination...

Now it has been achieved in such a funny and overly easy way.

In front of Luo Zhen, the strange cat put on a serious expression with its funny furry round face:

"Please watch carefully, my transformation—Persona: 'Zorro'!"

The world-famous thief, the masked swordsman Zorro, appeared in front of Luo Zhen in the form of a personality mask.

This is the first time that Luo Zhen has met someone who can use a personality mask like himself... or a creature?

The excitement and emotion this brought him, as well as the drastic change in his way of thinking that followed, are all stories for later.

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

On the other side, Xing is also facing a desperate situation.

"What the hell is going on?! What kind of Halloween scare show is this?! Σ(っ°Д °;)っ"

Gao Juanxing was being carried by several strange puppets and heading deeper into the palace castle.

She had no idea what was going on and was screaming in fear.

In the chaos, Xing only vaguely remembered that she just wanted to buy a bottle of water from the vending machine.

Mobile phone technology has been extremely advanced recently, and finally even Japanese vending machines, which used to be an isolated island for electronic products, have adopted QR code scanning and payment. This is all thanks to the large number of tourists from the neighboring big country... No, that's not the point!

Then she unexpectedly discovered that there was an APP with a very strange icon on her phone, called [Navigation to Another World].

She subconsciously clicked it and took a look.

When she saw the keywords [Taku Kamoshida], [Private Shujin Academy], and [Castle] that had been entered at some unknown time, the APP started up without her permission!

Then she inexplicably traveled to this strange place and was captured by a group of even stranger armored puppets!

These monsters were still shouting excitedly:

"Princess Xing, how can you run around? King Kamoshida will be worried!"

"We will definitely get you safely to the King so you two can continue your affectionate time! Leave it to us!"

"——Who said you wanted to make out with Kamoshida? Disgusting, disgusting, disgusting, die ...

The feeling of disgust, which was absolutely unacceptable physically, made Xing's hair stand on end!

Despite Xing's screams and resistance all the way, the diligent armored doll still sent her to a disgusting room full of candles.

The room is decorated with pink hearts everywhere, and it looks like a love hotel.

But this is much more gaudy than the hotels nowadays, more like the last century style that some sleazy middle-aged men in their forties or fifties would like.

Xing is going even crazier:

"Who the hell are you?! Put me down now! Otherwise I will definitely sue you! Wait a minute—Ah~!"

Before Xing could finish her words, she was tied to a cross by these armored puppets.

Before she could continue cursing, she saw something even more unacceptable:

"[This guy is the intruder? Are you sure they are not the same group as the ones from a few days ago?]"

“——Aaaaaaaaaaaa!!!”

When Xing saw the new king Kamoshida wearing only a pink cape and underwear, she finally let out the most disgusted scream so far!

The half-naked middle-aged uncle with hairy legs is so disgusting! Xing can't accept it at all!

"Kanoshida, you pervert, ahhh!? I knew it was you! I'm going to sue you, and when I'm free, I'm going to sue you to death! I'm going to put you, this perverted teacher, in jail for life!"

“[......]”

Shadow Kamoshida, with his inhuman golden eyes, paid no attention to An's fuss.

39. Xing's Awakening [Part 4]

The puppet next to Shadow Kamo Shida answered:

"[Your Majesty, she is definitely not the intruder from last time. That intruder was a white man with two thinner women... Oh, yes, those are the two gymnasts you just saw.]"

Ah, Shadow Duck Shida suddenly realized:

"I knew it was them! Those two were also slaves I had been eyeing for a long time. I had originally planned to enjoy them slowly after school started... but they actually dared to trespass into my castle uninvited! They deserve death!"

"[Also, this imposter over here is not at all docile... humph.]"

Shadow Kamoshida sneered at the tied-up Takamaki An.

This man had no real love for Xing and only felt annoyance towards her who kept resisting him.

He only coveted Xing's body, to the point where he was now:

"[This king already has an obedient princess. I don't need this imposter. Kill her immediately.]"

"Kill...you pervert, what are you talking about?"

Gao Juanxing, who was unaware of the situation, actually didn't really understand the seriousness of the matter.

She just thought it was just a bad joke.

After all, she had lived in common sense before, and she never expected that Kamoshida would actually kill someone... and kill so easily.

But when she saw the next scene, Xing's sanity finally broke.

A ball of black mud materialized next to Kamoshida, forming the image of a fair-skinned and beautiful woman.

......That's herself, [Apricot Takamaki]!

But Gao Juan An, who also works part-time as a magazine model, could tell at a glance that it was a fake with problems in every detail.

Although the fake self was wearing a very revealing bikini, his skin was more like that of an inflatable doll, and his measurements were even more exaggerated.

Only that face was 100% or even 90% similar to hers.

But she still had a vulgar and flattering smile on her face as she leaned on Kamoshida.

All of this proves that this scene is too supernatural and cannot happen in reality.

The inflatable doll replica of herself made her feel the real uncanny valley effect, and her teeth kept chattering.

"...You really... deserve to die..."

"【ah?】"

Shadow Duck Shida looked up from his beloved blow-up doll and looked at An with a raised eyebrow.

Compared to the fear of being killed, the surreal scene that made her feel crazy and the behavior of the perverted man Kamoshida in front of her made it even more impossible for Takamaki An to forgive him!

"I'm sorry Shiho, I was wrong..."

Xing muttered to herself, as if she had forgotten that she was still tied up.

The temperature in her body continued to rise, causing the air around her to distort.

"I used to think this man had the moral compass of a teacher, and that joining the volleyball club would be better for your future... I even advised you to be patient, thinking things would get better if you persevered..."

"But I was wrong... I should have fought against this kind of scum from the very beginning!!"

"[...Hurry up! Kill her!]"

Shadow Duck Shida felt some kind of instinctive threat and quickly ordered the armored puppet to take action!

But when the guard's sword was about to hit Xing, suddenly a ray of light came down from above her head.

The ray of light was so thin that it just happened to drill a hole in the castle ceiling and break the sword in the guard's hand.

Then there were several consecutive identical beams of light, breaking the swords of other guards around who wanted to take action.

"【Alas......!】"

Shadow Duck Shida thought to himself that something was wrong and immediately ran away.

Gao Juanxing hadn't noticed these situations yet.

She was immersed in her own anger, her spirit was burning!

A little flame shot out from Xing's hands, burning the metal that bound her.

The fire was a dazzling white at first.

If the Yoshizawa sisters were here, they would definitely recognize it. It is very similar to Luo Zhen's personality mask "Eros".

Because this is the color of ignited desire, and the heart of rebellion is born.

The white flames were stained by Xing's awareness and quickly transformed into her own bright red color!

The flames ignited the entire disgusting room and also enveloped her entire body, dyeing her with the color of resistance:

"Come on, Carmen! Burn these disgusting things for me!!"

Xing changed into a catwoman tights in the style of a thief, tore off the mask stuck on her face, and faced her own heart with blood dripping.

As the embodiment of her determination to resist, the Persona "Carmen" is materialized, and a sea of ​​fire erupts as her bright red dress stretches out!

The inflatable doll Xing, which Kamoshida didn't have time to take away, was burned to ashes on the spot, making the original person spit in disgust.

Just as she was about to continue chasing, she was entangled by more shadows that continued to emerge:

"You guys are really annoying! Seriously, what the hell are you?! Just die!"

"--good."

Just when the anxious Xing was busy dealing with the shadow, another pillar of light fell from above her head!

Just like the last time he came to rescue Sumire Yoshizawa, Luo Zhen, wearing a silver armor cloak, was like an angel of steel. The moment he descended, he burned most of the shadows present.

Xing was also stimulated by the dazzling light and closed her eyes, unable to see clearly for a while.

So she didn't know that at this moment Luo Zhen's eyes were looking at her deeply, deeply:

"I've truly awakened... Besides me, I'm the second person in this world who can control a Persona... I'm not alone anymore? Finally?"

Luo Zhen had actually arrived just now.

He felt the anger that was about to break through Takamaki An's rationality, which made him wait a little longer in anticipation.

The strange cat he had seen before that could use a personality mask finally made him realize that it was possible for people other than himself to awaken.
