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

"Don't tell anyone else about this." Taiyi told Shinomiya Kaguya and Hayasaka Ai before leaving, "This is my personal assistance."

"I understand." Shinomiya Kaguya nodded in understanding.

As someone who had collected information on the members of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts, she knew that those boys and girls were more or less idealistic.

Not telling them is also to avoid embarrassing them or causing disagreements due to different opinions.

Shinomiya Kaguya seemed indifferent to this.

After all, in the entire Phantom Thieves Group, the only person she was slightly familiar with was Taiichi Niijima Makoto.

The one who is closest to him is Taiyi.

Anyway, if the Phantom Thieves of Hearts split in the future, she will stand on whichever side Taichi is on.

It's nothing, this guy's moral bottom line is quite flexible... and he also protects his own shortcomings.

However, Kaguya Shinomiya was in a dilemma again.

She didn't know how she should repay Taiyi after he helped her.

After all, Taiyi seemed a little arbitrary when communicating with her, and it was impossible to grasp what he valued.

As for asking Hayasaka Ai to investigate Taichi's preferences...she didn't dare.

She was worried that Taiyi would misunderstand her, which would lead to a rift between them.

In this case... I can only use my personal connections to investigate.

Shinomiya Kaguya looked at her phone.

Among the contacts, Shinjima's number is the brightest.

Chapter 169: Shinjima: No one really understands him

When Niijima received the consultation from Kaguya Shinomiya and read the content of the consultation, he was stunned.

After all, it was only at this moment that she suddenly realized that although she had experienced a lot with Taiyi, she knew very little about Taiyi.

So little that she didn't even know what Taiyi's hobbies were.

After telling his sister about his newfound problem with some regret, Niijima Saeya scratched his cheek in some distress.

If it was a problem in other areas, Niijima Sae felt that he could still help.

But when it comes to getting along with friends, she can't help at all.

After all, she, Sae Niijima, was in her twenties and didn't have a single friend.

Unable to get an answer from his sister, Shin Niijima thought about it again and again, then selectively picked out a few friends from the Phantom Thieves group and formed a new group chat.

Amamiya Ren: I understand the logic, but why was I the only one pulled into the boys' group?

Sakura Futaba: You can't expect those two idiots, Ryuji Sakamoto and Yusuke Kitagawa, to give you any good suggestions in this regard, right?

Shin Niijima: I think there is a high possibility that the two of them will expose the topic we are going to discuss to others without hesitation...especially the parties involved.

Yukinoshita Yukino: Indeed, those two people, one is a big mouth and the other is very straightforward, neither of them is the type to hide their thoughts.

Yuigahama Yui: But I think this kind of question should be asked to the person himself, right? Can we come up with any conclusion just by discussing it with just the people?

Shinomiya Kaguya: I didn't expect to disturb all the regular members because of me. This is really...

Shin Niijima: Ah, this Kaguya Shinomiya is the non-staff member that Taichi and I went to the complex to recruit before.

Sakura Futaba: Ah, she was the young lady who first discovered our true identity, right? I still remember her.

Shin Niijima: Shinomiya, you don't have to feel embarrassed. After all, before you asked this question, I didn't even realize that I knew so little about Taichi.

Amamiya Ren: Indeed, although we know a little about Taichi's situation and some of his secrets, we know very little about him.

Sakura Futaba: Not only that, our interactions are also rather sparse. Unless there is some major event, I rarely see him on a daily basis.

Yukinoshita Yukino: What right do you, a squatter, have to say such things? I just asked my sister... She gave me some extremely vulgar but quite believable options.

Shin Niijima: What options?

Shinomiya Kaguya: Please tell Miss Yukinoshita!

Yuigahama Yui: I want to know too!

Sakura Futaba: Stare (——)!

Yukinoshita Yukino: delicious food, beautiful women, and beautiful scenery.

Shinjima: Ah, this...

Sakura Futaba: That's fine! But I can't meet any of your conditions!

Yuigahama Yui: Hiss——I always feel like I know something that I shouldn’t know.

Shinomiya Kaguya: That's it? If it's just these three things, I can arrange it right away!

Shinomiya Kaguya: Ms. Yukinoshita, could you please ask more precisely? For example, your taste in food? Your preference in the personality, appearance, and figure of beauties? And your preference in the classification of beautiful scenery?

Yukinoshita Yukino: There is no more precise information. The information about this person in these areas has been intentionally blocked.

Although Kaguya Shinomiya couldn't understand it, the others in the group reacted immediately.

After all, they are all people who know that Taiyi has achieved something in the other world.

So the topic slowly turned to other aspects.

Anyway, when Shinomiya Kaguya summarized the three general messages and told Hayasaka Ai to pay more attention to it, and then turned her head to look at the group, the topic of discussion had shifted to Shido Masayoshi.

After all, this is the main target of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts.

Shin Niijima: By the way, should we add Kaguya Shinomiya and Hayasaka Ai to the main group of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts?

Amamiya Ren: Anyway, the information of most people in our group has already been known by Shinomiya, so it doesn’t matter if we add them in.

Sakura Futaba: No objection.

Yukinoshita Yukino: No objection.

Yuigahama Yui: No objection.

Shinomiya Kaguya: Eh? Is this okay? Is this really okay? Aika and I are just non-members! Besides, there is no loyalty test or something like that? Can we directly enter the core member group?

Amamiya Ren: I have also asked Yusuke and Ryuji, and they both agreed. However, Yusuke now asked me why I suddenly had the idea to invite Shinomiya Kaguya and Hayasaka Ai to join the group.

Sakura Futaba: Just ignore it, otherwise that guy will keep asking questions.

Yukinoshita Yukino: A lie requires more lies to cover up, and lies will be exposed one day... So, just ignore his questions.

Yuigahama Yui: Although I feel a little sorry for Ryuji-kun and Yusuke-kun, I also think it’s better to just ignore it.

……

"That's it, Ai, it seems like we're going to be pulled into the core group of members of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts." Shinomiya Kaguya grabbed Hayasaka Ai's hand excitedly and shouted.

"Miss, I know you are very excited, but please calm down." Although Hayasaka Ai was overwhelmed by the surprise at first, she quickly regained her composure.

Because she remembered what Taiyi said before he left.

The Phantom Thieves of Hearts cannot become an organization that can be relied upon in the real world.

This made her somewhat nervous about joining the group of core members.

The two of them stared at their phones, and when the invitation to join the group came, they both pressed the "Agree" button almost immediately.

The next moment, they both lost their voices.

Looking at the few names in the group, Shinomiya Kaguya and Hayasaka Ai looked at each other in silence.

And further understood the reason why Taichi said that "the Phantom Thieves of Hearts cannot become dependent on the real world."

The list of people they had collected before was basically all the members of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts.

Although their power is mysterious and unpredictable, their numbers are too small to develop into a large force.

He could only rely on the reputation he had built up before to intimidate certain people.

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really wouldn't have thought that the Phantom Thieves of Hearts, who are feared by almost everyone in the circle, actually only have these few people." While responding to the welcome words of everyone in the group, Shinomiya Kaguya couldn't help but say with emotion to Hayasaka Ai, who was sitting next to her and operating the phone.

"But this obviously does not match our understanding of 'Naruto Taichi'." Hayasaka Ai frowned, puzzled.

After hesitating for a moment, Kaguya Shinomiya changed her phone page to the previous group and showed the conversation content to Hayasaka Ai.

After reading the content of the conversation, Hayasaka Ai realized that Taichi was hiding a secret deeper than the Phantom Thieves of Heart.

Chapter 170: Sigong Yan'an Does Not Need Family Affection

"I see... Do you think I would say that?" Taichi sneered at the old man who still had a gleam in his eyes but a sincere look on his face. "What do you mean he distanced himself from Kaguya in order to protect her? He deeply loves Kaguya who looks like Shimizu Nayatake, so he refuses any paternity test."

"You are really a qualified capitalist."

Because of the existence of Aix, the "lie detector", all words that enter Taiyi's ears will be filtered by Aix to determine their authenticity before being identified.

Therefore, Taiyi understood the true psychology of the man named Shinomiya Yanan.

If you ask him whether he likes Qingshui Mingyezhu.

The answer is yes.

But it is far from love.

For Shigong Yan'an, Qingshui Mingyezhu is a nightclub girl that can be found everywhere. Although her appearance wins his heart and the aura she exudes makes him feel comfortable, a nightclub girl is just a nightclub girl after all.

She has no status in Sigong Yan'an's heart.

If Qingshui Mingyezhu had not come with a big belly, and there might be his, Shigong Yan'an's child in her womb, that person would never have been able to enter the Shigong family.

After all, anyone who really believes what is said in a bar is a fool.

However, Huang Guang did not have talent that surpassed his, Qinglong was a waste, and Yunying was an inferior person who had means but his vision and ability were not even as good as Huang Guang.

As for him, Shigong Yan'an, he lost the ability to have children due to his age not long ago.

So even though rumors were flying everywhere, Sigong Yan'an still put aside everything and welcomed her in.

Before Kaguya was born, Shinomiya Gan'an was almost heartfelt to Shimizu Nayotake.

Everything provided was the best.

However, what made Shigong Yan'an despair was that the child born was a daughter.

Even though it was confirmed on the spot that the child was related to him by blood, Shigong Yan'an was still filled with despair.

Even the top team of cardiology experts from abroad who were specially invited to treat Qingshui Mingyezhu after giving birth were dismissed.

Without the life-saving support of the expert team, Qingshui Mingyezhu passed away not long after.

Shinomiya Yan'an looked at Shinomiya Kaguya, who was just a baby at the time, and silently decided her future fate as a product of marriage, and handed over the child's education to his third son Yunying.

After all, Huang Guang still has to learn from him, and Qinglong is a loser who can't even take care of himself.

The third son, Yunying, might be able to educate Kaguya to become a qualified tool for the Shinomiya family.

His indifference towards Kaguya Shinomiya came from the bottom of his heart.

After all, as the head of the old capitalist Shigong family, and also the most powerful person among all the family heads, Shigong Yan'an has no weak heart.

All of the above were confessed by the hall master Shigong Yan'an after X's purifying light waves washed away his malicious thoughts.

Also, the news about giving some of the Shinomiya family's shares to Shinomiya Kaguya... are all rumors.

He has no property to give to his daughter who will definitely get married in the future!

Even the hall master, Shinomiya Gan'an, who had been purified of all malice and distracting thoughts, still had little concern for Shinomiya Kaguya.

After all, he didn't spend much time with his daughter.

The only thing that matters in Sigong Yan'an's heart is the Sigong family, which has made him proud all his life.

If his death was not approaching, he would not want to give any power to his eldest son Huang Guang.

Not to mention Kaguya Shinomiya.

As for who spread the rumor... I can only say that Qinglong is worthy of being the most useless one in the Shinomiya family.

As for why Huang Guang clearly did not believe the rumor, but still wanted to marry Shinomiya Kaguya.

All we can say is that he has made up his mind to jump off the ship.
