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

As the door lock made a strange sound, Niijima Sae slightly raised his head and looked towards the entrance.

"Sister?" Shinjima, who had just returned home and changed his shoes, looked at Sae Niijima who was sitting on the sofa with some surprise, his eyes a little vague.

Her sister, Sae Niijima, is the prosecutor in charge of the Phantom Thieves' cases.

I don’t know what happened to my sister some time ago that caused her to take her anger out on me.

Since then, every time Shinjima thought of his sister, he would feel 'embarrassment' and 'guilt'.

So she also consciously cooperates with her sister's work schedule and tries to minimize the encounters between the two sisters.

There won't be any awkwardness if we don't meet.

"Welcome back." After hesitating for a moment, Shinjima said.

"Well, I'm back." After hearing his sister's voice, Niijima Sae finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Previously, because there was no progress in the Phantom Thieves' case, she was under pressure to be demoted and took her anger out on her sister in a irritable mood.

She felt deep down regretful about this.

It can be said that she is a workaholic and neglects her family, but she has never lacked love for her sister.

She was probably pushed into a corner by her boss during that period, otherwise she would never have faced her sister in that manner.

I wanted to apologize several times, but never got around to it.

This time she got a response from her sister, and she finally had the chance to speak.

"I'm sorry, Shin." Niijima Sae took a deep breath, then stood up and looked at his sister solemnly, "Some time ago, I was unhappy at work and brought that emotion home, and even took it out on you."

"Hey? It's okay." Shinjima was shocked after hearing his sister's apology. He took a half step back and waved his hands repeatedly, "It's not your fault, sister... I was also wrong at that time..."

Even now it still exists.

Shinjima Makoto is now filled with guilt towards his sister.

But she would never reveal any information about the Phantom Thieves.

"Okay! To show my sincerity to Shin, let's go out for dinner tonight! Let Shin decide what to eat!" Niijima Sae smiled and put his hand on his sister's head, gently stroking her head and said.

"Huh? Really?" Shinjima was stunned for a moment, then raised his neck pretending to be calm, as if he was thinking about what to eat tonight.

But in fact, she was very panicked deep down.

She didn't know why her sister, who was so upset about the incident with the Phantom Thieves a few days ago, suddenly relaxed.

She was worried that the information about the Phantom Thieves might have been leaked from somewhere.

But she couldn't test it openly.

Then we can only find a way to test it in a roundabout way.

Tonight's dinner party is a great opportunity!

A one-sided war of ideas from the younger sister begins.

But Niijima Sae, the older sister, is still unaware of this.

The only thing in my heart was the joy that I could reconcile with my sister.

……

"Huh? The Phantom Thieves?" Just as the Niijima sisters and He Lele went out to eat together, Toru Amuro on the other side received the latest instructions from his boss.

He was asked to cooperate with a prosecutor from the Special Investigation Division of the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office to investigate the case of the 'Phantom Thieves of Hearts'.

"I also know that the methods used by the Phantom Thieves are quite bizarre, but has their threat level been raised to the point where the public security police have to be dispatched?"

"The Lion Boy faction is putting pressure on me... I understand. I accept the mission."

After hanging up the phone, the anger on Toru Amuro's face could no longer be suppressed.

After he realized that the higher-ups would not take action against Shido Masayoshi, a lot of information was secretly withheld by Amuro Toru and not reported.

Among them are a few "incidents of becoming disabled".

Except for the fact that no evidence has been found yet, he is already certain that the mastermind behind the cripple incident is Shido Zhengyi.

However, the way that person had previously ignored the Phantom Thieves of Hearts was in stark contrast to the way he was now mobilizing his entire faction to force the National Police Agency to help.

Now Toru Amuro has two speculations in his mind.

One is the Phantom Thieves of Hearts, who were the practitioners of "disablement" who helped Shido Seiji deal with those dirty work before, but for some unknown reason, the two sides have now broken up.

Another possibility is that Shido Masayoshi has lost the means to disable people, and is therefore afraid of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts who possess similar powers, so he forces the National Police Agency.

"It's really, really frustrating." Amuro Toru muttered with a dark face.

Now Toru Amuro is not only the bodyguard of the organization's Bourbon, the National Police Agency's Furuya Rei, and Shido Masayoshi, but he is also the assistant of the special search prosecutor.

Finally, I went from working three jobs a day to working four jobs a day.

Oh, no, if you add in the detective agency that he can't take care of for the time being because he's too busy, he's working five jobs.

"Another day when I feel like quitting my job."

This thought, which he had never had before, has become a small thought that he has every day since he became the bodyguard of Shido Masayoshi as Amuro Toru.

On this side, Toru Amuro was notified, and on the other side, Sae Niijima, who was out for dinner with her sister, was also notified.

I have to say, this assistant arrived at a very timely moment.

Niijima Sae looked at the notice from the top with a complicated expression and sighed helplessly.

If she hadn't achieved any results, she would have almost suspected that someone was here to pick peaches.

As for now...she just felt that someone had come to keep her company and be a scapegoat.

"Sister? What's wrong? Is it something troublesome at work?" Shin Niijima put the grilled meat he had cooked on Sae Niijima's plate and asked casually.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this. It's all bitter if we talk too much." Niijima Sae put her phone aside and put on a fake smile, "Let's just have a happy meal together, two sisters!"

Having learned his lesson, Sae Niijima decided never to talk about work with his sister in private again.

After all, it was not easy to reconcile.

……

Bai Zhong Zhidou looked at the letter with luxurious materials, and his expression was confused.

"I've never seen anyone let a detective investigate him."

"Hey, you've seen it, haven't you?" Yue Yujiali came back to her senses after reading the letter of entrustment and looked at Bai Zhongzhidou and said, "And it's not just you they're investigating, they've even included Aegis in the investigation."

"I didn't expect that among the people you met with Aegis before, there was someone from the Shinomiya family." Looking at the logo on the envelope, Kirijo Mitsuru sighed and looked at Shirakawa Naoto and asked, "What are you going to do?"

"Reject." Bai Zhongzhidou stuffed the letter back into the envelope without hesitation and replied, "The matter of the personality mask must not be made public."

Chapter 45: Shinomiya Kaguya wants to talk

"As expected, he rejected it." Looking at the reply from Bai Zhongzhidou, Shinomiya Kaguya curled her lips slightly, "Fortunately, Knight kept his word and answered every question."

"Although the authenticity of that information remains to be considered, the possibility that Shiratonjiro is a personality mask user is not low..."

"But, to say that the humanoid weapon is also a personality mask user... this statement is really a bit absurd."

It was precisely because Taichi told Kaguya Shinomiya that Aegis was also a personality mask user that she had more doubts about the authenticity of this information.

"Miss, after all, the name of Personality User was also given by Knight." Hayasaka Ai reminded, "We still don't have reliable factual evidence as to the specific principle of this ability, so the possibility that the humanoid weapon is a 'Personality User' is not zero."

"Well... come to think of it, it's about time I get a 'smartphone'." Shinomiya Kaguya turned her head and looked at Hayasaka Ai, "Go buy me a smartphone with the most comprehensive functions available."

"The young lady has actually... grown up without my knowledge!" Hayasaka Ai looked so moved that she was in tears... and there were even real tears in the corners of her eyes.

Shinomiya Kaguya's brows twitched slightly, and she suppressed the urge to complain as she stared at Hayasaka Ai coldly.

"Yes, I'll arrange it right away." Seeing that Kaguya Shinomiya did not cooperate with her plan, Hayasaka Ai immediately put away the overly expressive changes on her face.

After Hayasaka Ai left, the somewhat stiff expression on Shinomiya Kaguya's face relaxed a little.

She really doesn't know how to get along with Hayasaka Ai now.

resentment?

Yes, but years of companionship made it impossible for her to have more extreme emotions towards Hayasaka Ai.

For Kaguya Shinomiya, the only person she can trust in this world is Hayasaka Ai.

But now, Hayasaka Ai's true situation has left her alone again, and she doesn't know who to trust.

As for asking her to remove the vest from Hayasaka Ai...she couldn't do it.

Shinomiya Kaguya can't leave Hayasaka Ai.

Although there are emotional ties involved, most of them are the result of Hayasaka Ai's assistance for more than ten years.

So, Kaguya Shinomiya wanted to find someone to talk to.

And the people he was talking to... were, of course, the members of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts.

Those people have the means to sneak into other people's "hearts". Although I don't know whether they have found out their true background clearly, if I want to pour out my emotional garbage, those people are the best targets.

However, the mobile phone she used was an antique.

There is no such thing as a mailbox.

Kaguya Shinomiya's plan was to change her smartphone and then let others teach her how to use the new functions of the smartphone.

Of course, the 'others' here cannot be Hayasaka Ai.

and so……

"Vice President Fujiwara, could you please teach me how to use these functions of my smartphone?"

In the student council, Kaguya Shinomiya took out her newly acquired smartphone and sent an "invitation" to her vice-president, Chika Fujiwara.

"Kaguya! I'm so touched!" Fujiwara Chika hugged Shinomiya Kaguya's hands with tears in her eyes, looked up at her excitedly and shouted, "Kaguya actually started using a smartphone! And she even asked me how to use it! This really, really touched me~"

Fujiwara Chika's voice had become so distorted that it was hard to hear what she was saying.

"I'll teach you! Everything! I'll teach you everything I know about how to use each function of the smartphone!"

"But before that, can you let me be the No.1 email address in Kaguya's first smartphone?"

……

"So... press this button, then press here, and... that should work, right?"

Fujiwara Chika didn't know how long she had been teaching Shinomiya Kaguya how to use a smartphone.

Anyway, by the time she realized it, she couldn't even use a smartphone.

"Is that so? Let me try."

Completely confused, Kaguya Shinomiya took the smartphone and then looked away guiltily.

Fujiwara Chika's lifeless eyes always made her feel as if she had done something unforgivable wrong.

"Hey, hey hey hey... I thought Kaguya-chan was the kind of genius girl who could learn anything quickly." Fujiwara Chika stared blankly at the scene where Kaguya's hands trembled slightly, but she just stopped in front of the screen of the smartphone and didn't dare to press it. "It turns out that you can't do anything with the smartphone."

"I am also a normal human being. There are always things that I cannot handle." Kaguya Shinomiya tried to defend herself. "Besides, things like smartphones...ah, how should I deal with this?"

"Ah...what should I do?" Fujiwara Chika looked at the smartphone screen that was about to be pushed against her face, and whirlpools began to appear in her eyes.

The teaching hell lies ahead!

My past self, wake up!

As a result, the day after Kaguya Shinomiya got the smartphone, she successfully learned how to open the email function and how to add friends.

As for sending emails...

"This is a difficult maneuver. Let's continue learning it tomorrow."

Shinomiya Kaguya looked at Fujiwara Chika with excitement and suggested.

“…Help!” Fujiwara Chika turned around and burst into tears.

"Hey? Vice President Fujiwara?" Looking at the tearful back of Fujiwara Chika, Shinomiya Kaguya tilted her head in confusion.

"Is it because I learn too slowly and it has hit her self-confidence?"

"Lady Kaguya." Hayasaka Ai appeared behind her without her knowing. "Perhaps you should carefully prepare a gift for Vice President Fujiwara."
