"I'll be here to look after you." Taichi, who had saved 800 yen from lunch by having a meal at the hospital, said cheerfully, "I'll stay here until Suzui's parents get here."

On the contrary, it would be more beneficial for Taichi if An Takamaki could leave.

After all, with her around, Taiyi couldn't speak easily when he wanted to communicate with Aix.

"Please!" Gao Juanxing bowed deeply to Taiyi and left the hospital.

"Aix, how is Suzui doing now?"

"According to human medical conditions, her current physical condition is pretty good, but the mental shock she suffered is a bit too great, causing her to be unwilling to wake up for a while." Axe replied, "If you want to wake her up from her self-escape now, we can help."

"...No, let her rest for a while." Taiyi shook his head and declined. "Escape is not very useful now, but at least it can let her cultivate her spirit."

"That's true." Axe agreed.

It was around three in the afternoon when the Suzui couple arrived at the hospital.

After telling the parents what happened to Suzui Shiho, Taichi left the hospital with their gratitude.

Although I have the principal under my control, I still have to give him some face when it is due.

So that he wouldn't really deduct his salary again.

By the way, convey the news that the Suzui couple rushed to the hospital to Anne Takamaki.

Taiyi doesn't have her contact information.

Just when he was about to reach the school gate, Taiyi happened to see the back of Gao Juanxing, who was lying at the entrance of the alley opposite the school gate, clinging to the wall and peeking into the alley.

Chapter 9 Compared to Ultraman, Changing Heart is easier to accept, okay?

Space suddenly distorts.

The double feeling of disgust, both physiological and psychological, made Taiyi stagger.

The hand that was originally intended to rest on her shoulder fell directly on Gao Juan An's head.

"Eh? Ah? Ha——! What's going on! Where is this place! Naruto-san? Why are you here too?" The exotic scenery revealed after the space was distorted directly shattered Gao Juan's three views.

She didn't say anything even when Taichi pressed his hand on his head and messed up his hairstyle.

After all, all three views are shattered, who would care about the hairstyle?

"Hey, Takamaki." After Taichi steadied himself, he raised his hand with a somewhat stiff expression and greeted Takamaki An. "After Suzui's parents arrived at the hospital, I rushed back to school, and saw you lying at the entrance of the alley. I was about to come over to say hello, but I was swept in."

"Hey, hey, hey! Are you kidding me! Takamaki? And the boy who saved Suzui before!" Not far away, two men and a cat in strange costumes were looking at Taichi and Xing, the two uninvited guests, in surprise.

The golden-haired man with a skull mask on his face directly called out Xing's last name.

"Huh? Ah, this voice... is it Sakamoto? And, the person standing next to you, is that Amamiya-san?" Takamaki An turned her head in astonishment and looked at the two people and the cat.

"Why, why are you two here?!"

"I want to know the answer to this question more!" Gao Juan Xing stomped her feet and responded angrily.

"Where on earth is this place? Aren't we supposed to be at the school gate?"

"Maybe it's some kind of alternate dimension?" Taichi tilted his head and looked around at the unfriendly environment, then pretended to be a newbie, "Didn't a monster appear in Chiba a few days ago? This is probably another dimension created by a monster."

"That makes sense...ah! Wait! If that's the case, then our current situation is very dangerous!" Gao Juan Xing believed Taiyi's words and her face immediately turned pale.

"No! This is not an alternate dimension created by monsters...right? Right? Ren?" Sakamoto Ryuji became less and less confident as he spoke, and finally he even turned his head to look at his companions beside him.

"It's not the monster space!" The black cat, who was standing on two feet and had a yellow scarf tied around his neck, was so angry at his companion's stupidity that he jumped up and down. "They must be irrelevant people who were dragged into this by the navigation system!"

"Wow, wasn't Lian the only one using that navigation system before? But we followed in as well, so maybe that navigation system has some side effects like 'it will also involve the people around the user'!"

"You must be kidding! Not only did the cat stand up, it even spoke!" Takamaki An grabbed Taichi's arm and hid behind him, "Monster? It's a monster!"

"Monster! It's not a monster!" Morgana looked unconvinced. "I was just turned into a cat!"

"Takamaki, calm down first." Taichi took out his cell phone and said to comfort Takamaki, "If you panic too much at this time and can't calm your mind, even if there is a chance of survival, it will be ignored."

"So, tell me your name, the talking cat!" Taiyi pointed at Morgana and shouted.

"Morgana! Not a cat, and certainly not a monster!"

"Ah, that's enough." Sakamoto Ryuji sighed helplessly, then turned his head to look at his two companions, "There's nothing we can do. We can only force them back."

“Excuse me for refusing!” Taiyi refused before Amamiya Lian and Morgana could respond, “If you can’t give a positive explanation, then I can only treat the three of you as my enemies.”

"Enemy or something..." Sakamoto Ryuji scratched his head and looked at Morgana and Amamiya Lian helplessly, "What do you think?"

"Tell them." Amamiya Ren said, spreading her hands. "After being dragged into this, it would be too pitiful if they still don't know anything."

"Poor thing...ah! I get it!" Sakamoto Ryuji muttered a few words in dissatisfaction, then turned around and explained the current situation to Taichi and Takamaki Anne.

……

"So, this is the 'temple' of that bastard Kamoshida? You plan to make him repent for his crimes by changing his heart?" Takamaki An looked shocked, as if she was listening to a fairy tale.

"I see. That's a good idea indeed." Taiyi nodded.

"Wait! Naruto-san? How did you accept it so quickly? Such an... unbelievable thing!" Takamaki An looked at Taichi in astonishment and reminded him.

"It's not hard to accept." Taichi replied, "After all, even Ultraman and monsters exist in this world. Now there is just a new temple that can 'change one's heart'. Is this more unbelievable than Ultraman and monsters being real? Aliens exist in reality, and this fact has been confirmed."

"…Even though I know you're talking nonsense, I don't know why I have a feeling that it's okay to just accept it." Gao Juan An sighed, holding her forehead.

"It's very dangerous! Those things called shadows!" Sakamoto Ryuji continued to persuade, "Normal people can't fight against them at all. If you are caught, you will be killed, so you should leave here quickly and return to reality."

"No!" Takamaki An refused without hesitation, "That bastard Kamo Shida hurt Shiho so badly, how could I miss such a good opportunity and not take revenge, but turn around and leave!"

"No, that's why I told you that you can't beat that Kamoshida here!" Sakamoto Ryuji stared at the ignited Takamaki An dully and reminded him, "Even though you can't beat him in real life either."

"We can't beat them, do you think you can?" Takamaki An glared at Sakamoto Ryuji in dissatisfaction, "I remember someone was beaten badly in the name of self-defense."

"Tsk!" Ryuji Sakamoto's face immediately fell.

"It's the Personality Mask." Morgana jumped out to explain, "Ryuji and Lian have both awakened the power of the Personality Mask. Only in this way can they fight against the shadow."

"That is to say, as long as we also awaken that personality mask, we can beat Kamoshida together with you, right?" Takamaki An asked excitedly, "Then tell me how to awaken it quickly!"

"Even if you ask us, I don't know." Sakamoto Ryuji shrugged and replied, "It seems that some consciousness of resistance has been awakened, and then it can be awakened. In short, it is very mysterious and cannot be described in words."

[I am you, and you are me!]

As if he was hallucinating, these words suddenly appeared in Taiyi's mind.

"Taiyi! Unknown data is invading your body! I can't stop it! You have to be careful!" Axe's reminder followed.

Chapter 10: The most important thing is participation

"Is this the personality mask you're talking about?" Taichi asked, feeling the keratinous texture against his face as he placed his hand on the full-face mask that suddenly covered his entire face.

"What the hell! What's wrong with you!" Sakamoto Ryuji was shocked, "Is this a helmet or a mask?"

"By the way, don't you feel the pain as if your head is being squeezed by gravity?" Ryuji Sakamoto asked Taichi in confusion.

"Not at all. On the contrary, I feel my brain is very clear now." Taiyi pressed his temple and replied, "It's just that there is always a voice in my ear saying 'I am you, you are me'."

"Are you kidding me? Why was I in so much pain back then, but you were fine?" Ryuji Sakamoto felt a little unbalanced.

"Thank me. Although I failed to stop the unknown data from invading you, I did prevent the data from stimulating your brain nerves." Axe hurried to take credit, "The pain was all transferred to me."

"Thank you so much, Aix." Taichi silently thanked his good partner Aix in his heart.

But...why is such a nice personality mask called 'Mordred'?

If only it were Izanagi.

"So, that's it?" Takamaki An looked at Taichi's full-face mask with a confused look on her face, and then asked, "How did you make this mask?"

"I don't know either. It seems that I have to resist some kind of oppressive will from the bottom of my heart to use this power." Taiyi tried to touch his chin, but was blocked by the mask.

"I don't quite understand, but... Naruto-san, can you please give me a hand?" Takamaki An asked, staring at Taichi seriously.

"If you want to beat up Kamoshida, I'm happy to help. My Lady." Taichi couldn't help but respond with his right hand on his heart.

"Ah, just like a knight." Upon hearing this, Gao Juan Xing felt relieved and a smile appeared on her face again.

"I told you it's very dangerous." Sakamoto Ryuji muttered.

"Okay, okay, we have four personality masks here! If this can't protect Lady Xing, then let's just not do anything." Morgana advised.

"...Sir?" Ryuji Sakamoto cast a look of contempt at Morgana.

"Okay, there's no time to chat here, let's get going!" Morgana began to change the subject, and turned his head to ignore Sakamoto Ryuji, looking up at Amamiya Ren, "Please, JOKER!"

"JOKER?" Amamiya Ren was a little confused when she was suddenly addressed with such a strange nickname.

"Well, after all, we are now Phantom Thieves, and since we are Phantom Thieves, of course we need a suitable code name." Morgana explained, "In terms of combat power, you are our 'ace'!"

"What is that? It's super cool!" Sakamoto Ryuji immediately became interested. "What about me? What should I be called?"

Morgana, who had just been annoyed by Ryuji Sakamoto, rolled his eyes at him unhappily and gave his own opinion.

"Little rascal."

"You want to fight? You bastard!" Sakamoto Ryuji was so angry that he almost started a fight before the fight started. "Forget it, I'll decide for myself... Ah, by the way, Takamaki, how do you say 'skull' in English?"

"Huh? Ah... SKULL... Are you sure you want to use this nickname?" Takamaki An looked at Sakamoto Ryuji with disgust.

"So what! The mask on my face is in the shape of a skull! Of course I have to choose a code name that matches my mask!" Ryuji Sakamoto retorted unhappily.

"Then it's me! It's me!" Morgana jumped up and looked at Gao Juanxing anxiously.

"Hey? Do you want me to get it for you?" Gao Juanxing asked, pointing at herself with a confused look on her face.

"Yes! If it's Lady Xing!" Morgana looked anxious.

"Why not just call her Kitty?" Taichi joked, "Hello, Kitty!"

"Oh - this is good! Hello, Kitty!" Ryuji Sakamoto cheered on the side.

"No! No! I don't want this kind of code name!" Morgana glared at Taiyi with a sour face.

"Mona... let's just call it MONA." Gao Juan Xing searched her mind for words, but couldn't think of anything good. She could only use the beginning and ending sounds of Morgana and reorganize it.

"MONA? Mona! This is great! Let's call it this!" Morgana immediately decided.

"It seems like as long as it's rolled up high, you can do anything." Ryuji Sakamoto complained.

"Then my code name will be 'KNIGHT', Knight." Taiyi suddenly said, "Ever since you started discussing code names, that voice has been yelling this in my head."

And the voice sounds very familiar.

If there weren't any marks on the back of his hand, Taiyi would almost doubt that he was a master.

As for the pseudo-servant... whose pseudo-servant is so weak?

Feeling that his physical condition was no different from before, Taiyi wanted to shake his head.

"Huh? How come your mask can communicate with you?" Ryuji Sakamoto looked at Taichi in confusion and asked.

"Yours can't?" Taiyi asked back, "My mouth is really foul, he almost made me want to take off my mask and leave."

"Except for the first time, I heard that voice, and I haven't heard it again since then." Sakamoto Ryuji shook his head, then turned to look at Amamiya Ren, "Len, what about you? Can you still hear the voice of the mask?"

Amamiya Ren hesitated for a moment.

Then he shook his head.

In the outside world, he cannot hear the voice of the mask, but in the prison of the 'Velvet Room', he can hear the voice of the persona after it is materialized.

"Come to think of it, this classmate Lian is really a man of few words. My name is Taichi Naruto, and you are here." Taichi took the initiative to greet Amamiya Lian.

The young man seemed to be autistic. He never spoke a word from beginning to end. He only uttered a few words when someone dragged him into the discussion and he had to speak.

"Amamiya Ren."

He really had to flick the whip before he took two steps forward.

"Well, Ren has all sorts of reasons, so you'd better not ask for details." Sakamoto Ryuji stepped forward to smooth things over.

"You idiots! I told you to call me by code names, code names, why are you still calling me by my name?" Morgana jumped up and was about to kick Ryuji Sakamoto's knee.

"Enough! Can't you go in faster? If you keep taking your time, it will be dark in the real world!" Gao Juanxing also became impatient and started to urge.

"Mordred--!" The mask was torn off, and blood plasma flowed down Taiyi's cheeks, neck, and arms to the palm of his hand, and then turned into a knight's sword with a silver blade and a red hilt.
