Tokyo Heart Thief's Daily Life

So at noon, after being freed from the four-period test, Takamaki An immediately turned around and slumped over his desk:

"I can't take it anymore! I hate exam-oriented education. Why do high school students have to take such strict exams?"

"I think since there's a university above high school, the high school teaching intensity should be lowered, so students can take the exams after entering university! Only those with excellent grades can graduate from university. Isn't that great~!"

Luo Zhen: "It's no use complaining to me about this... And if too many people can't graduate from college, it will make people feel that they have wasted several years of college life, right? It would be better to apply for a college admission quota while still in high school, maybe that's the reasoning?"

Luo Zhen looked at Gao Juanxing with amusement.

She was seen with her chin resting on her desk, her mixed-race beauty with a strong presence flattened.

This woman really doesn't care about maintaining her image. This is probably a kind of natural confidence.

Luo Zhen was not shy and started playing with her two long braids:

"You don't want to eat yet? Are you going to ask Shiho to join you?"

"Well, wait a moment... let me rest for a while... ok?"

Gao Juanxing was still mumbling coquettishly, letting her good brother play with her hair.

The atmosphere in the class suddenly changed, causing her to turn and look towards the door.

A third-year senior appeared in the classroom and walked quickly towards the two of them.

Every student knew her: it was none other than the famous student council president, Shin Niijima.

She took a few more glances at the intimacy between Luo Zhen and Gao Juanxun, but in the end said nothing.

She tidied up the hair beside her ears and said to Luo Zhen:

"Mr. Luo Zhen, could you please come with me to the student council room? It won't take you too long."

"As you command, President-senpai."

Luo Zhen's deliberately exaggerated answer made Shinjima Zhen remain silent in embarrassment.

Luo Zhen first gave the lunch box to Takamaki An and asked her to go find Shiho to eat first.

He followed the handsome senior into the student union room for two consecutive days.

After entering this enclosed space, Shinjima sighed in frustration:

"I'm sorry for attracting so much attention. There's something I need to confirm with you right away... I'm sorry to bother you and your girlfriend."

"It's okay, it's okay." Luo Zhen waved his hands: "Xing is my good brother, but not my girlfriend. And if you didn't come, I would have taken the initiative to look for you."

"You want to ask your sister about Prosecutor Sae Niijima, right?"

Well... seeing Luo Zhen being so proactive, Shinjima stopped pretending.

She leaned back on the desk, folding her arms with one hand, feeling somewhat insecure, and sighed softly:

"Last night, my sister...that's the prosecutor Niijima Sae you mentioned. She came home and told me to take good care of you at school."

"I heard you're a relative of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, and that he assigned you to assist my sister in investigating the Phantom Thief Case... Actually, it was only after the Kamoshida incident that my sister asked me to pay more attention to the suspicious students in school. That's why I was so tentative with you yesterday... I'm sorry."

Shinjima clasped his hands together and bowed deeply to Luo Zhen to apologize.

Seeing her sincere look, Luo Zhen actually felt that she was quite pitiful.

The uncle, the chief justice, wanted to pave the way for himself, so he found an excuse to let Niijima Sae take him with him.

Sae Niijima accepted it all, and then put some of the responsibility on her high school student sister, asking her to take better care of herself.

These layers of nepotism are really... Luo Zhen even feels like he is some second-generation rich kid who abuses his power for personal gain.

So he helped Shinjima up and sighed in disgust:

"The personal connections in the officialdom are really troublesome, aren't they? Senior, I understand you perfectly. If I were in your position, I'd be annoyed too. Having a sister who's a prosecutor must be really tough."

"But to be honest, your sister may be a little scary, but she's also very beautiful. It's great to have such a young and capable sister. I'm so envious."

"...Hehe~. Yes, she is my proud sister."

Shinjima's eyes lit up and he immediately laughed in agreement.

This is much better than her pretending to be serious. A high school student is just a child.

Now that both sides have spoken out, the pressure on Niijima will be much less.

She also agreed with Luo Zhen's lack of pretense, so she said directly:

"Since you're involved in this, Luo Zhenjun, you must have heard about the Phantom Thief, right? According to my sister and the Special Investigation Department, they believe the Phantom Thief likely has an informant in the school. I think so too."

"After all, this Phantom Thief, and especially the online [Phantom Thief Request Channel], has collected more intelligence on Phantom Thief incidents than the Special Investigation Department. And because it's an illegal website, it seems the higher-ups have cracked down on it numerous times. But they always resurface, and the creator of this website remains unapproached."

This is what the Chief Justice also said: [The Phantom Thieves Group must have strong intelligence stealing and hacking capabilities].

And because this [Phantom Thief Commission Channel] is mainly spread among young people, the higher-ups naturally think that they are deliberately targeting young people who are easily instigated to increase their popularity, or even use it to develop their own informants.

Niijima was quite serious:

"Although there's no clear evidence, I suspect someone in our school directly provided clues to the Phantom Thief, which is why Kamoshida's repentance happened so quickly. He didn't come to school for a week after the start of the semester, and then he suddenly repented, right?"

"The Phantom Thief may have been constantly threatening Kamoshida throughout this period, eventually breaking through his psychological defenses. Incitement, instigation, threats... The Phantom Thief's abilities are truly remarkable. Being able to get Kamoshida to surrender so quickly, while not leaking any information, truly qualifies this crime as a Phantom Thief's."

"Senior, do you support the Phantom Thief's actions?" Luo Zhen suddenly asked.

This surprised Shinjima: "Why do you ask that?"

Luo Zhen shrugged: "Because I think that what you said, Senior Sister, seems to be quite admiring of the Phantom Thief."

Ah this... Niijima pursed his lips in embarrassment.

Although she is a serious and handsome student council president, she seems to be not very good at hiding her thoughts and is indeed a straightforward person.

She twisted her hair nervously and tried to defend herself:

"I'm not supporting them. It's just that, how should I put it... I've been at Soojin for two years myself, and this is my third year."

"But I never realized what Kamoshida did... It was right under my nose. As the student council president, I didn't do anything for those students who were being physically punished... I feel very ashamed."

She really has a strong sense of responsibility.

Although he was just a student, this student council president not only wanted to improve his own reputation in the eyes of the teachers, but also really wanted to be responsible for other students.

Just having this idea is rare in itself, she continued:

"The Phantom Thieves accomplished something for me that I couldn't, and that does make me feel a little grateful... Of course, what they did was certainly a crime, that's for sure."

"But I also wonder, if we can just work harder and stop the crimes of people like Kamoshida before the Phantom Thieves can act, then we won't need them anymore... I wonder if the Phantom Thieves can make up for our incompetence and lack of ability. I've had that thought before..."

What am I talking about... As Shinjima was talking, he came to his senses and blushed a little.

100. Lion Boy, the Daughter of Justice? (6k plus 4/10)

Shinjima's words are like a child who admires the actions of vigilantes and admires the vigilantes in comics.

This is not wrong, on the contrary it is a very precious sense of justice.

What Shinjima didn't expect was that Luo Zhen also nodded in agreement:

"I think what you said is right, senior sister. I think the same thing."

"Perhaps the Phantom Thief also feels that what he does is a necessary evil. Although it may sound a bit self-righteous, there are some things that only a Phantom Thief can do, so he started doing them. If he knew that there are people like you, Senior, who can understand him, he would definitely be very happy."

Shinjima: "Luo Zhen-kun...you say that as if you are the informant who provided clues to the Phantom Thief~"

The student council president made a cheerful joke, causing Luo Zhen to laugh along with her.

The two of them quickly became familiar with each other, and the atmosphere was much better than their first conversation yesterday.

After a long sigh of relief, Shinjima smiled gratefully:

"It's so nice to have this chat with you. When my sister first asked me to look after you at school, I had no idea how much I should do. I was struggling with this all day."

"But seeing that you, Luo Zhenjun, are such a sincere person, I feel relieved. Let's work together to find out if there are any informants of the Phantom Thief among the students!"

Luo Zhen deliberately asked, "You still have to find it in the end? Senior, do you still want to catch the Phantom Thief?"

"Of course." Niijima replied handsomely:

"Excusable circumstances are one thing, but letting the Phantom Thief go is another. Even if my sister's involvement is excluded, as the student council president, I have to make sure the students of our school don't do anything dangerous. If someone is really passing information to the Phantom Thief, it might get me into trouble. I have to protect them."

"Master Luo, you're a relative of the Chief Justice, right? Then you absolutely must not bend the law for personal gain. I'll let you join the student union. You just need to show up occasionally, and I'll contact you individually about the rest."

As he spoke, the decisive student union president handed Luo Zhen another form.

After yesterday's club application, today is the student union application.

Luo Zhen didn't dare to think about what she would ask him to sign after this.

After Luo Zhen accepted it, she smiled even more happily:

"Then starting today, we're partners in the school's investigation team. Of course, this is a secret, so please don't tell that pretty girlfriend sitting in front of me."

"This is a secret between us. In exchange, I will help you as much as possible within the Student Union's authority. This is also part of the deal. Is it acceptable?"

Luo Zhen: "Calling it a deal doesn't feel just at all, it feels more like the actions of a Phantom Thief. Then we're accomplices, Niijima-senpai."

That's true, Shinjima laughed out loud with his hands covering his mouth even more happily.

She actually has a pretty low sense of humor and can be easily amused.

Our student council president is a serious, solemn, responsible, and cute person.

This is great, Luo Zhen's social circle has expanded a little bit.

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

So when school was over today, Luo Zhen sent a text message to his classmates in the light music club in advance, telling them that he was taking a day off.

His dear junior Pochi read the message instantly, but he waited for a long time but there was no reply.

As for Toyokawa Shoko, a reply came a while later:

"【Are you going on a date with your girlfriend? I wish you happiness.】"

Why did you think of that aspect directly... Luo Zhen couldn't answer.

But today he is not on a date, but a group activity.

Even Takamaki An apologized to her best friend Shiho for not being able to bring her to today's event.

Then Luo Zhen and the others' activities today were very obvious...

"—The celebration ceremony for the successful first major event of the Heart Thieves begins now~!"

Luo Zhen's good brother Ryuji Sakamoto tried hard to control his voice and was the first to raise his drink.

Luo Zhen, Gao Juan Xing, and the sisters Fang Ze responded one after another, and everyone clinked their glasses to celebrate!

Because Luo Zhen has been very busy, the celebration banquet was delayed for a few days, and the restaurant was finally booked.

The store is a high-end hotel buffet selected by Takamaki An, with everything from barbecue to seafood and desserts, it is so rich and happy!

Of course, the consumption level here is also very high, which is difficult for ordinary students to afford.

Gao Juan An ate the cake with a happy look on her face, her eyes curved into crescents:

"It's really delicious~? The last time my magazine shoot crew came here to celebrate their meal, I really wanted to come again... But seriously, Captain, can you really pay for it this time? Isn't that too expensive?"

"It's okay." Luo Zhen ate the seafood fried rice calmly, and was still studying the ingredients and cooking methods of the rice, trying to replicate it.

He was sandwiched between the Fangze sisters and continued proudly:

"I sold Kamoshida's treasured gold medal, and it's enough to cover our meal expenses today. Eat to your heart's content, we deserve it."

“[Oh~!]”

This made everyone even more excited, and they all praised Luo Zhen for being a good leader.

"Speaking of which."

While chewing on his steak, Da Huang raised a very constructive question:

"Since we can bring Kamoshida's gold medal out of the other world, can we bring out more things? There are still a lot of gold and silver treasures in his palace. If we take more at that time, won't we be financially free?"

Oh oh... The girls immediately turned their heads and looked at Luo Zhen.

"It's a good idea, but unfortunately it's not realistic."

Luo Zhen drank some water, clearing the taste from his mouth like a professional gourmet:
