Tokyo Heart Thief's Daily Life

“[Ahhh…!?]”

In the deepest treasury of Kamoshida Palace, Shadow, who had transformed into a monster, was knocked into a mountain of gold and silver treasures, and twitched and turned back to his original appearance.

Shadow Kamo Shida was covered in wounds and twitching as he crawled out of the treasure.

These things, which symbolized the embodiment of his desires, were of no help to him now.

No matter how greedy he is, in the face of overwhelming force, he can only end up with the situation where his neighbors store food and he stores guns, and his neighbors are his granary.

By now, even Shadow, who only follows instinct and never lies, has realized the difference in strength between them.

Shadow Kamoshida prostrated himself on the ground, kowtowed to Luo Zhen in a funny and ridiculous manner:

"Please, hero! Sir! Don't kill me, please don't kill me!"

"As long as you don't kill me, I'll give you anything! Do you want my treasure? Do you want my slaves? I can give them all to you! As long as you spare my life, I'm willing to do anything—"

"In a way, I like shadows more than humans."

Luo Zhen interrupted Shadow's plea for mercy and looked down at him.

He kicked out again, sending Shadow Kamoshida flying as he screamed in pain.

"Shadows don't lie. After all, you are desire itself. Just like a person needs to breathe, you certainly can't betray desire."

"So dealing with you is very effortless. I don't have to guess what you're thinking, or worry about saying something wrong that might hurt you. It might make you sad, but I'll have to force myself to smile and say, 'That's fine, too.'"

"But on the other hand, you won't make any progress either. Your survival instincts will be quickly forgotten after I leave. When I come back to see you tomorrow, you'll be back to your old arrogant self. It's really hard to completely convince you, a bunch of goldfish with only seven-second memories."

"puff......!"

Luo Zhen stepped on the back of Shadow who was struggling to get up, forcing him to lie on the ground and twitch.

Now is the starting point of Kamoshida's desire, and the secret treasure of the palace has not yet appeared, so it is impossible to steal his desire.

But there is another way to solve the trouble he brings, which is to kill the shadow in front of you directly.

This is equivalent to destroying Kamoshida's spirit, and the man in reality will also be affected.

In severe cases, the patient will bleed from all seven orifices and die on the spot.

At the very least, one will lose all desire and become a useless person no different from a vegetable.

Luo Zhen didn't mind...but Takamaki An was definitely not ready for that.

If Xing knew that being a phantom thief in another world carries the risk of killing people, the kind girl would probably give up using this power.

This won’t do. Luo Zhen resists this from the bottom of his heart.

That's why Luo Zhen had to come up with a win-win solution so that Gao Juanxing could use her power without any psychological burden.

Behind him emerged his own persona, Eros.

This glorious god is one of the primordial gods in mythology, the origin of desire, and the symbol of love and sensuality for all living things.

This is also the personality that Luo Zhen awakened first.

His starting point, a fool embarking on a journey.

And in the journey so far, starting from the original desire of "Eros", many desires extended like tentacles, exploring areas in all directions and different quadrants.

In this process, Luo Zhen also learned various kinds of emotions in different directions.

Some of these emotions are positive, and some are negative.

Most of them were well controlled by Luo Zhen and became personalities that he could use.

Among them, of course, Luo Zhen himself felt taboo and deliberately controlled the mask from showing.

Now, he is about to show it off after a long absence.

......Click!

A sound like breaking glass came from the dazzling core of Eros.

Cracks began to spread across the body of the Glorious God, emitting a strange red and black aura that was incompatible with the originally warm light.

Luo Zhen held the water bird mask on his face.

It was like tearing out one's own soul, accompanied by dripping blood:

"Come out, Hypnos."

A pair of large, dry hands covered with winding blood vessels emerged from the body of Eros and tore the body of the God of Light apart!

It's like a chick breaking out of its shell.

It is the most negative personality mask born from Luo Zhen's deepest feelings of disgust and rejection.

Luo Zhen's handsome silver cloak also responded to the changes in his deep psychology and turned into a calm red and black.

But some things require negative emotions to be accomplished.

Hypnos is the god of sleep in Greek mythology.

It's not very aggressive.

But they reject all interference from the outside world and only want to isolate themselves from everything in the outside world. This is a symbol of autism.

At Luo Zhen's nod, the God of Sleep stretched out his hand and grasped the shadow Kamoshida who was crawling on the ground.

The blood vessels in its hands throbbed, as if it was constantly draining vitality from Shadow.

Shadow Duck Shida was even more terrified and begged for mercy desperately:

“No, no, no! Don’t suck away my desire…it’s mine, mine…”

He soon stopped talking.

With the almost loving comfort of the god of sleep, Shadow Duck Shida transformed into a lifeless coffin in its palm.

This shadow is not dead.

It just fell into a state of autism and fell asleep.

This would ensure that the temple would not collapse, but Kamoshida himself could not do anything.

His spirit was completely dead.

Until Luo Zhen freed him, he would just stay in the room like a living dead, and eventually lose even the desire to live.

"......call."

Luo Zhen sighed as if relieved.

The disturbing figure of the God of Sleep faded away, and the God of Light illuminated the surroundings again.

The coffin transformed by Shadow Kamoshida stands in the center of the treasure house, responsible for maintaining the palace.

"Now I can teach Xing how to become a beginner. Until she's capable of conquering this palace... well, let's take our time."

Luo Zhen's negative emotions disappeared when he thought that he would be able to actively explore the palace with his friends for a period of time in the future.

He has been playing the game alone for too long and waited three years for a new player, so he must be spoiled to death.

45. Let’s start a double-faced campus life! [Fourth update]

"Mmmmmmm...(?-﹏-?)"

Taoxiang got up early in the morning, with a head of messy hair and pantyhose that she forgot to take off last night, and walked downstairs on the creaking wooden floor.

She soon heard the sizzling sound of the oil pan, and her eyes became clearer:

"Ah, the scumbag high school student is back."

"Who are you calling a scumbag?" Luo Zhen retorted immediately.

He cracked an egg with one hand and placed it on top of the bacon, letting the two blend naturally.

Taoxiang yawned, leaned on the bar, and watched his busy figure with half-closed eyes:

"I checked into a hotel with another 15-year-old middle schooler...two at once. And he stayed out all night on the first day of school, forcing me to make instant noodles. I tried to add an egg, but the yolk leaked out. This is all your fault! You're really cut out to be a bassist, why don't you start learning now?"

This woman is so unreasonable, is she a housekeeper?

Luo Zhen then retorted, "I won't ask why it has to be the bassist. But even if what you said is true, it's definitely not my fault that the yolk broke when adding an egg."

"No, it's your fault."

Taoxiang puffed up her cheeks stubbornly and said with good reason:

"It's all your fault for saying you need to protect your hands when playing guitar, and for taking on all the laundry and cooking chores. That's why I'm getting increasingly rusty at housework! Now I can't even tell where the things in this house are. I don't even know which is dish soap and which is liquid laundry. Occasionally, when I wash my underwear myself, I find it comes out messy and completely different from what you wash."

Luo Zhen: "Because underwear has special detergent, underwear needs to be treated well. ...So first, take off those pantyhose you've been wearing for two days, and don't dirty my chair."

How should I put it...

Although Taoxiang acted like a 20-year-old giant baby, her complaints were all unreasonable and made people roll their eyes.

But Luo Zhen didn't feel disgusted at all.

Taking care of this giant baby was a real pleasure for him, and bickering with her every day was even more enjoyable, making him realize that he was really quite M.

Besides, this useless giant baby sister is so cute.

When Luo Zhen handed the prepared bacon, fried eggs and sausage set meal to her, the elder sister who had been complaining just now immediately rushed over with a "Great~?(?? ??)?" and smiled like a child.

Seeing her constantly praising the food, Luo Zhen received sufficient emotional value in return:

"I'm sorry, I've been really busy since school started. I probably won't be available to work in the evenings lately, so you'll have to make an effort. But I'll still try to come back and make dinner."

"...Okay, no need to explain to me."

Taoxiang was eating breakfast in silence.

The messy hair covered her face, so Luo Zhen couldn't see her expression.

She just continued in a vague voice:

"I've said it before, we're just cohabiting. You're a high school student, and such an outstanding person, you should just enjoy your youth. I just like to talk too much, that's all. I apologize if I made you unhappy. You can stay home overnight or not as you please. We don't have any curfew anyway, so it's up to you."

"...Are you angry?" Luo Zhen asked tentatively.

Taoxiang put down her chopsticks with a snap: "No."

She cleaned the pots and dishes after eating, and ran to the bathroom without even wiping her mouth, and finally started to wash up.

Although it is unhygienic to eat breakfast without brushing your teeth, Luo Zhen doesn't have the confidence to lecture her now.

He felt that Taoxiang had suddenly taken a step back.

The spiritual distance between the two people suddenly widened, and a thick wall of alienation was erected between them.

Luo Zhen knew that this was probably because she was upset because he couldn't work with her.

But there is really no way around it, and Luo Zhen can't explain anything.

Then Luo Zhen decided to treat her better in daily life.

It just so happens that her worn-out pantyhose have become loose, so I might as well buy her a few new ones. I can also pick out some of my favorite personal items at the same time.

Excluding personality issues, Momoka's face and body were right in his strike zone, and Luo Zhen was very frank about this.

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

After washing the dishes, Luo Zhen made some preparations and said goodbye to Taoxiang who was studying the lyrics and left.

Because school has officially started now, Luo Zhen made an agreement with the Fangze sisters that they don't have to rush to his house early in the morning in the future.

They would meet at the subway station and go to school together, which was already intimate enough.

""Luo Zhen brother (senpai) ~?""

The sisters' lively voices attracted the attention of passers-by from afar, and their envious and jealous eyes were really painful.

They chatted about random things along the way, squeezed together in the crowded subway.

In order to protect the two sisters, Luo Zhen subconsciously held them in his arms and created a small space for them in the corner of the carriage.

Of course Luo Zhen didn't know that the two sisters who were snickering were extremely happy.

Because this is exactly what girls dream of, that so-called "boyfriend knocking on you in the car", which is said to be a romantic scene similar to wall-banging, bed-banging, etc.

But once they got to school, they had to separate no matter what.
