Whose personality mask's power comes from the heroic spirit?

Considering that Okumura Haru was also a member of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts in the original script, Taichi felt a little reluctant to watch her being gradually devoured by the hyenas.

Looking down at the phone on the table, Taiyi narrowed his eyes.

It seems like we can give Okumura Haru and the Yukinoshita family a chance together.

Okumura Haru has no means, but Yukinoshita Haruno does.

However, he had to make Okumura Haru trust him first.

Taichi thought for a moment, then picked up his cell phone and started sending text messages to the members of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts.

He plans to use the sign of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts to meet with Okumura Haru.

If you can convince her, then ask Yukinoshita Haruno to enter.

If the other party is very resistant to his entry, he can only silently wish them the best, and then turn around and ask Kotoko Iwanaga for help in getting some talents and equipment from within the Okumura Group.

In short, he doesn't intend to let go of the food processing production line.

Should we say that they are indeed a group of underage children?

Taichi told the group about his plan to meet with Okumura Haru privately under the banner of the Phantom Thieves of Heart to get some benefits for the Okumura Group.

In the end, no one objected.

Even Yukinoshita Yukino asked an extra question.

Should she ask her family for help?

I don't know what kind of soup Yukinoshita Haruno or Mrs. Yukinoshita fed her, but Taichi felt that Yukinoshita Yukino had begun to consider the problem from the perspective of another world.

Well, that means Taichi didn't know that the Yukinoshita family had involved Yuigahama Yui, otherwise he would have been able to immediately guess why Yukinoshita Yukino changed her position so quickly.

Of course, Taichi chose to reject Yukinoshita Yukino's suggestion. After all, it was not yet time for the Yukinoshita family to enter the scene.

Then he invited her to participate in this event, and Yukinoshita Yukino agreed.

……

Okumura Haru felt quite confused at this moment.

She had just taken over the shares left by her father and was thinking about how to dismantle and reorganize the Okumura Group when an invitation email from the 'Phantom Thieves of Hearts' suddenly appeared in her personal mailbox.

How dare Okumura Haru agree so easily?

After all, no one knows how many people there are in the Phantom Thieves of Hearts and what kind of people they are.

If someone just came and claimed to be from the 'Phantom Thieves of Hearts', she would be mentally exhausted.

So Okumura Haru simply deleted the email.

Putting this matter behind him, Okumura Haru lowered his head and prepared to continue organizing his thoughts, making sure to write down his plan before the board meeting in a few days.

However, just when Okumura Haru was ambitiously organizing the process of dismantling and reorganizing the Okumura Group, she suddenly felt something empty under her butt and she sat down directly on the floor.

The surrounding environment has changed from her bedroom to a strange room.

"...Huh?" His brain was unable to process the sudden change in the environment, and Okumura Haru could only look at the surrounding environment stupidly.

"I'm so sorry for inviting you here so suddenly." The unfamiliar voice made Okumura Haru turn his head to look.

A man and a woman, dressed strangely and looking as if they were preparing for a masquerade ball, were standing not far away.

"Although we have obtained the consent of the palace master, it would be better for us not to stay here for too long."

Taichi walked up to Okumura Haru and extended a hand to her.

"I am a member of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts, codenamed 'knight'."

"Don't make me sound like a vicious sister." The woman, who was dressed gorgeously but looked like someone who made Okumura Haru want to stay away from her, glanced at Taichi with dissatisfaction and reminded him, "After all, you are the man who will become my and Xiaoxue's future husband. You still have the right to use the palace."

Chapter 29 Okumura Haru: This world is too scary, I want to be sealed in a quilt

"...Am I being kidnapped?" Okumura Haru did not rely on Taichi's strength to get up, but stood up on her own with her hands on the ground. She instinctively patted the non-existent dust on her skirt, then looked up at Taichi and asked.

"It's not kidnapping." Taiyi withdrew his hand and shook his head, explaining, "As soon as our conversation is over, I will immediately send you back to the real world intact."

"The real world?" Okumura Haru looked at Taichi in surprise.

"This is the world of the subconscious." Taiyi said this and then closed his mouth.

Judging from her response, she did not obtain the other world navigation app before being brought in, nor had she ever entered the palace or the impression space.

And the personality mask... naturally has never awakened.

Another person whose fate was disrupted by the chaotic world.

Taichi couldn't help but think of An Takamaki.

Although Taichi had some involvement in Takamaki An's case, Okumura Haru's case had nothing to do with Taichi at all.

"Subconscious... So, the heart-changing skills of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts are to infiltrate the subconscious world of others?" Okumura Haru has a very sharp thinking circuit.

"You can say that." Taichi did not intend to tell Okumura Haru about the actions of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts.

"I have so recklessly dragged Miss Okumura into the world of the subconscious because I want to make a deal with you."

……

"That's it. I wonder if Miss Okumura Haru is interested in joining forces with me?" Taiyi slowly explained the reason why he wanted to meet with Okumura Haru, and then quietly waited for the other party's answer.

Of course, we didn’t talk about topics related to the other world.

After all, it’s hard to believe this unless you see it with your own eyes, especially when it’s the first time everyone meets each other formally.

Therefore, Taichi mostly talked about Okumura Haru's embarrassing situation within the group, and Taichi's attempt to insert his hands and feet deep into the Okumura Group to gain some benefits.

"Answer my question." Okumura Haru was silent for a moment, and his panicked eyes gradually calmed down as Taichi spoke. "As long as you can give me the answer, I will agree to the deal with you... regardless of whether you are really a member of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts."

"Please speak." Taichi raised his eyebrows and looked at Okumura Haru.

"What exactly caused my father's death?"

"On the surface it appears to be heart failure, but in fact it is the sequelae caused by the disappearance of the subconscious." Taiyi replied.

"Who killed my father?" Okumura Haru's teeth were crunching as she bit them.

"Your father's partner, Shido Masayoshi, and his subordinate, Akechi Goro, who also has the ability to enter and exit the subconscious world with a personality mask."

"Shido Masayoshi and...Akechi Goro?" Hearing this somewhat absurd result, even Okumura Haru, who thought he was mentally prepared, was stunned this time.

"Why is my father involved with the cabinet staff? And that Akechi Goro, isn't he a detective?"

"I don't know these two points either." Taichi shook his head and replied, "The only thing I can find out is that your father, through the cooperation of Shido Masayoshi and Akechi Goro, has also used the same method several times to exclude competitors."

"I think this should be the deepest connection between Okumura Kuniwa and Shido Masayoshi."

Political donations are not as involved as this kind of thing.

"Why did they... kill my father?"

"I don't know. Maybe your father stood in their way? Or did he find evidence that forced them to kill him?"

"I'm afraid no one knows the inside story except the parties involved." Taiyi's explanation was very reasonable. At least Okumura Haru only doubted it for a moment and then convinced himself.

"Is that so... But, it turns out to be Shido Masayoshi..." The muscles on Okumura Haru's face twitched unnaturally.

This was the closest she ever got to the truth.

But the truth was so horrible that she didn't have the courage to continue to expose it.

After all, she only uncovered half of the story when she discovered that her father had begun to bear a blood debt.

How could she have the courage to continue uncovering it?

The Okumura family had already been at the center of public attention due to her father's previous actions, and this time, the negative impact brought about by the death of Okumura Kunikazu was added.

If the blood debt on her father were also revealed, the Okumura family would be completely hopeless.

"Is there anything else you want to ask?" Taiyi turned to Okumura Haru and asked.

"No, there are no more." Okumura Haru shook his head nervously, then looked at Taichi and said, "I agree to your deal... However, my current position in the group is not high. If I insert someone in without authorization, and it is a senior executive position, I may encounter great resistance."

"You don't need to worry about what happens next." Taiyi replied, "Whether it's a business struggle or a fight for status, it's all done by the people I send. All Ms. Okumura has to do is lead her into the arena and stand firmly behind her when she needs support."

"It doesn't matter whether Ms. Okumura currently has actual power."

After all, can we expect a rich girl who was developed as a "marriage commodity" by Kunikazu Okumura since she was a child to play an important role in a business war?

It all depends on Yukinoshita Haruno's ability.

"Then, how can I meet you in the real world... or the person you sent?" Perhaps because he, as the leader, was actively selling out the interests of the group, Okumura Haru's voice began to tremble.

"As long as she can say my code name when communicating with you." Taiyi looked at Okumura Haru and said, "Of course, if you feel unsafe, I can also ask her to say a few more code names."

"Don't go to all that trouble." Shadow Yukinoshita Haruno reminded from the side, "Wouldn't it be better to just let her remember what I look like?"

"...Then you should recover." Taichi looked at the shadow Yukinoshita Haruno speechlessly and reminded, "You won't forget that you are now appearing in front of Miss Okumura in the form of the hall master."

Shadow Yukinoshita Haruno's hall master mode is not ugly.

But her pale skin and tattoos of various colors still concealed her appearance by 30%.

Although the shadow Yukinoshita Haruno was becoming increasingly annoyed with Taichi, considering that the man in front of her would be the husband of herself and her sister in the real world in the future, she could only suppress her complicated emotions and obediently make the changes according to Taichi's requirements.

"Yukinoshita... Haruno?" After seeing the face clearly, Okumura Haru's pupils suddenly shrank.

As the eldest daughter of the Okumura Group, she had once seen the dancing and skilled Miss Yukinoshita at a banquet.

So, after Shadow Yukinoshita Haruno restored her appearance, she recognized her at a glance.

Chapter 30 Yukinoshita Yukino's Worries

In order to avoid misunderstanding, Taichi explained to Okumura Haru the connection and differences between the hall master Yukinoshita Haruno and the real world's Yukinoshita Haruno.

Maybe it was because Okumura Haru had taken in too many things that shocked her world view in a short period of time, Taichi noticed that her eyes began to spin in circles.

As someone who knows that everything is excessive, Taiyi stopped talking in time and gave Okumura Haru a note with an email address, asking her to contact him through this email address if she has any problems in the future.

As for the authenticity and security of the email address…it was given to him by Sakura Futaba.

Although she is still a child, Futaba Sakura's hacking skills are at the T1 level.

Unless it is a BUG-level existence such as artificial intelligence or cyber life form, it is not easy to break through this email address.

In other words, the platform homepage of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts is public, otherwise Sakura Futaba would have wanted to lock that homepage with hundreds of millions of points.

After repeatedly reminding Okumura Haru not to act on his own after returning to the real world and to be patient for a while, saying that all accounts would be settled one day, Taichi nodded to the shadow Yukinoshita Haruno, indicating that she could contact Yukinoshita Yukino to send Okumura Haru back to the real world.

After Okumura Haru disappeared from his sight, Taichi shook his neck and stretched.

Among the four basic industries of food, clothing, housing and transportation, it can be said that food and housing have basically been taken care of.

Just wait for Yukinoshita Haruno to make a move and completely take control of the food business.

"You really put a lot of effort into gaining the trust of that little girl." The shadow Yukinoshita Haruno raised her head slightly and looked at Taiyi with a sarcastic expression.

"Trust?" Taichi tilted his head and looked at the shadow Yukinoshita Haruno from the perspective of the 'new house forty-five degrees'. "I don't think you can't see the true meaning of my previous operation."

The shadow Yukinoshita Haruno was silent for a moment, then smacked her lips in dissatisfaction.

Of course she knows.

After all, as a subconscious mind, she is able to know everything that Yukinoshita Haruno has experienced in the real world.

Combined with the PUA that Taichi had just used on Okumura Haru, she naturally figured out Taichi's purpose.

Of course it was not for the so-called trust of Okumura Haru.

After all, just a few words without any real evidence could shake her to that extent.

Trust is something that can be established however you want.

"Do you really believe that I in the real world can do what you want?" Shadow Yukinoshita Haruno looked at Taichi and asked.

She knew that what she was experiencing was definitely something that her real-world self would never be able to perceive.

But it doesn't matter. After all, her purpose is not to let Yukinoshita Haruno in the real world know what happened in the hall.

Her purpose was to enable Yukinoshita Yukino to have a clearer understanding of the current situation.

Otherwise the child would be tricked by this scumbag into having four children in five years.

...Oh, yes, the word "coax" can no longer be used.
