I will traverse countless worlds and become a god entirely on my own!

What are you so proud of?

Seeing this, I admired Sadako's intelligence. She was so easily fooled. But since that's what Sadako thought, there was no need to interrupt her fantasy. With Sadako working hard, I guess I can just slack off too.

"Alright, Sadako, then you'd better keep a close eye on Miko, and then work hard. Good luck!"

"Yes, boss, don't worry!"

"."

So everything I just thought was a lie?

He originally thought that Sadako wouldn't be able to affect him at all, but now it seems that Byakuya is more insidious than he imagined, actually sending Sadako to monitor him.

And why did Sadako agree so quickly?

What made you fit in so quickly?

This speed of integration even made Jianzi feel a little ashamed.

So you're saying you're just another part of your game?

[I'll be on time tomorrow night at 8 PM; I have something to do tonight.]

【it is good. 】

On the other end of the phone, Gin noted down the time and then forwarded the text message to Vermouth.

"Brother, it seems the location wasn't mentioned."

They agreed on a time, but not a place. Vodka looked at Gin, who had already put away his phone, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes. Were they planning to meet telepathically?

"He gave me a code, but that's not my concern. Let Vermouth decipher it."

"Where is the code?"

Vodka thought about it and realized that there was no code in that text message at all!

How come he didn't notice?

"Forget about vodka, it's a waste of time."

"Okay, brother."

It was indeed a waste of time. Although Vodka was unwilling to admit it, he felt a slight pain in his trigeminal nerve while he was thinking.

Sure enough, I'd better stick to being a lackey; I'm just not cut out for things that require thinking.

"Controlling time? Are phantom thieves and detectives the same thing? That's not cute at all!"

On the other end, Vermouth pondered for a moment after seeing the code.

So, where should we be in order to control the time and location?

"Miss, you seem troubled. I can listen to you!"

"Not interested in."

Vermouth stood up, placed the money on the bar, glanced at the newcomer, and a contemptuous smile flashed across her lips.

Another bunch of boring flirts.

She didn't have time to waste here; she needed to figure out how to solve this mystery tonight.

Gin seems to care a lot about this.

But this guy then put the problem back on himself.

That's why I don't want to cooperate with that bastard Gin!

A hint of helplessness flashed in Vermouth's eyes. As she stepped out of the bar, raindrops fell on her cheeks. She looked up at the sky, where the rain seemed to be getting heavier and heavier, as if a torrential downpour was brewing for tonight.

"Didn't Utaha-chan say it was just the two of us on a date tonight? Why is Eriri here too? Is she planning something exciting for me?"

"What are you saying, you idiot who only talks big?!"

Eriri's eyes widened, and she almost jumped up when she heard Bai Ye's words.

It's absolutely abominable!

What does it mean to come along just to get some excitement from a show?

She didn't want to come at first, but after learning that Kasumigaoka Utaha had actually asked Byakuya out alone, she worried that if anything went wrong between them, wouldn't she really lose?

"He's really just all talk."

Although she and Eriri have never gotten along very well, Kasumigaoka Utaha agrees with this view.

It would be great if they took some concrete action.

"Hey, who said that?"

"So, if you had to choose between me and Eriri to take away right now, who would you choose?"

Since Byakuya had said so, Kasumigaoka Utaha naturally wouldn't let such a good opportunity pass by. As she spoke, she intentionally or unintentionally showed Byakuya her advantages. Compared to Eriri, her advantage should be quite significant, right?

"Can I take them all with me?"

"Sure, I have no objection!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha nodded her chin and then nodded in agreement.

"No way! You idiot, didn't you understand the hidden meaning in this fat woman's words?"

Eriri shook her head and whipped Bai Ye with her twin tails, but before the twin tails could unleash their power, Bai Ye grabbed both of them.

"Hmm, it seems that Baiye-kun has already mastered how to use twin tails!"

A hint of mockery flashed in Kasumigaoka Utaha's eyes. After she said that, Eriri immediately realized that she seemed to have seen this scene in a doujinshi!

The girl with her twin ponytails being grabbed seemed to have her twin ponytails become a steering wheel.

"Wasn't Xiaohui with you?"

Strange.

Ever since I intentionally or unintentionally brought the three of them together as a group of friends.

The three of them became friends, and they would basically do everything together.

Especially Kato Megumi, whose presence was already low, now has two pretty good friends, and sometimes she will unintentionally get closer to them.

"Xiao Hui seems to have been away from us for a long time lately, I don't know what's wrong with her!"

When Kasumigaoka Utaha heard about Kato Megumi, she also felt a little strange.

They used to walk home from school together, but recently it seems that Kato Megumi hasn't been with them anymore.

"Eiriri?"

"Let me go!"

Eriri's face flashed with a hint of embarrassment and annoyance. She even grabbed her twin tails. What else did Eriri want to know from her now?

"Xiao Hui has been on leave for some reason recently."

"Ask for leave?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Bai Ye's eyes. Was he feeling unwell?

"Well, I don't know why. Xiaohui didn't tell me. I only know that Xiaohui took leave."

"How about we go take a look?"

Eriri had already thwarted their planned date, and Kasumigaoka Utaha was also feeling bored.

She had originally planned that, given it was just her and Bai Ye, she might be able to use some tricks to win Bai Ye over.

With Eriri here, it's clear that her plan is doomed to fail.

"Why don't we go take a look?"

Eriri was also a little worried. Kato Megumi was one of her few friends, and even if she was sick or something else, she hadn't come to class for a long time. As a friend, she should go and see her.

"can."

Although Byakuya was just talking big, he knew when to stop. He had originally thought he could get some perks from Kasumigaoka Utaha tonight.

However, since Eriri is here, that's naturally not the case. What Baiye is really curious about is Kato Megumi's situation.

Because he had been busy with his agency lately, Byakuya hadn't been to school and was unaware that Kato Megumi had also taken leave.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 160 The Phantom Thieves of Hearts are established, and Old Fatty Xia makes a vulgar statement asking for recommendations!

"Xiao Hui? Xiao Hui, are you home?"

In front of Kato's house.

Eriri pressed the doorbell twice, listening to the sounds inside. She knew that Kato Megumi had taken leave in the past few days.

But after learning about this, she subconsciously ignored it. However, it didn't seem like this before. Since becoming friends with Kato Megumi, she had basically never forgotten Kato Megumi.

"no one there?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha crossed her arms, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes.

Logically speaking, since Kato Megumi took leave, she should be at home, but there seems to be no movement inside.

"She doesn't seem to be home? Could it be that Xiaohui went to visit relatives with her family?"

Eriri turned to look at Byakuya and asked, "It seems that Kato Megumi is no longer here."

Looks like I came up empty-handed today.

No, at home.

Bai Ye shook his head. He sensed that Kato Megumi was there and was on her way to open the door.

Click.

The door opened, and Kato Megumi poked her head out to look at the three of them, saying apologetically, "I'm really sorry about something that happened earlier."

"It's alright, Xiaohui, are you okay?"

It must be related to them, I suppose.
