Anime, but the Phantom Thieves of Heart

Combined with the other person's extremely satisfied expression, it can be seen that she slept well.

In contrast, Miyu is much quieter. She looks like an exquisite big doll as she sleeps quietly in her quilt.

The two have completely different styles, but they are both very cute, which even Lan Ke cannot deny.

But the question is, even though the two of them are very cute, how should he wake up Illya without waking up Miyu?

In the end, Lan Ke chose a stupid method.

"Illya...Illya..."

While gently pushing the other person's shoulders, Lan Ke gently called the other person's name.

For Lan Ke, being careful and cautious was even more troublesome than simply beating up some drunken monk. After all, he needed to control his strength to ensure that he would not wake up Miyu. Fortunately, Illya didn't seem to be sleeping very deeply, and she soon raised her head while rubbing her eyes.

Maybe it was because he hadn't woken up completely yet, even his pupils were out of focus.

Yawning and glancing around aimlessly, he looked quite cute.

It wasn't until she noticed Lan Ke's iconic bird-beak mask that she suddenly woke up!

"Strange... Ugh~"

Before he could even finish his words, Lan Ke covered them with his hands...

Chapter 57: I can only promise you my body

Lan Ke's appearance undoubtedly scared Illya. After all, Lan Ke's appearance was really not flattering, especially in the middle of the night.

Fortunately, this was not her first time meeting Lan Ke. After the initial surprise, she became uncontrollably excited.

It was precisely because of this that Lan Ke had to cover her with his hands to prevent her from waking up Miyu. After all, he was not sure how Miyu would react after discovering him.

This is likely to affect the "surprise" that Lan Ke prepared for Emiya Shirou. After all, he is a man who is willing to risk his life to protect his sister. Who knows if this sister-con will cause any misunderstandings.

Fortunately, Illya was very sensible. Although she looked excited, she still made a "zipper" gesture with her hand in front of her mouth, as if to tell Lan Ke that she would keep quiet.

Lan Ke then raised a finger to signal the other person not to shout loudly, and slowly released his hand that was covering the other person's right hand.

Fortunately, although Illya's face was full of excitement, she did not shout anymore. She even pointed her finger outside the house, signaling Lan Ke to go out with her so as not to disturb her sister.

Lan Ke naturally would not refuse. He opened the window and stretched out his right hand towards Illya.

Illya, wearing bunny pajamas, climbed onto the windowsill with Lan Ke's help and then jumped out.

"Crack~"

Even though she was walking in her own backyard, a place she had walked countless times, Illya seemed extremely excited.

After all, even if you are doing the same thing, it depends on who you are doing it with.

It was just a normal walk with my brother or sister, but when I acted with the 'Phantom Thief', my heart would beat faster, as if I were on a 'big adventure'.

"Huh~"

Looking at Illya's red face, Lan Ke couldn't help but feel a little worried.

In fact, he originally planned to carry Illya out of the room as before, but the other party insisted on doing it himself. Now seeing that the other party was still out of breath after quite a while, Lan Ke couldn't help but feel a little worried.

On the contrary, Illya seemed very calm. After all, not only was she fine, she even felt extremely excited.

Meeting the "legendary thief" without telling her brother and sister made her feel a strange sense of guilt. This feeling drove her to talk to Lan Ke as soon as she left the room.

"Big Brother, what's the matter with you coming to see Illya tonight?! Have the bad guys been eliminated?!"

As Illya spoke, she also made a fist-pumping gesture, which combined with her bunny pajamas made her look very cute. However, what she said made people at a loss as to how to respond for a moment.

Even Lan Ke didn't notice that Illya's way of addressing him had changed from 'Phantom Thief Big Brother' to 'Big Brother'.

"Not yet~ But we have confirmed that they did have other motives in trying to adopt your sister, and we will be able to deal with it soon..."

Miyu's story is more complicated than imagined, whether it's a couple who use fake identities to adopt each other, or a monk who breaks his vows and drives everything behind the scenes without knowing why, or the real mastermind hidden behind the scenes.

But there was no need to let Illya know these things, so Lan Ke simply chose to hide it. After all, the reason he came to Illya first was simply because he hoped that the other party would not worry too much.

As expected, after hearing Lan Ke's words, Illya felt a little disappointed, as if she couldn't eliminate the "bad guy" as cleanly and neatly as in the animation, but her mood quickly recovered.

After all, she hopes her sister can be safe more than punishing those bad guys.

Seeing that Illya's emotions gradually stabilized, Lan Ke did not delay any longer. After all, he had other things to do tonight.

"So don't worry anymore, just have a good rest tonight~"

Lan Ke's words were not just comfort, but also targeted.

After all, according to the plan, he intended to formally invite Shirou Emiya to join the group tonight. Based on his understanding of Shirou Emiya, the other party would definitely not mind staying up for two nights to find out the "mastermind" behind the scenes.

Lan Ke believed that he would be able to find the target soon, thanks to the other party's previous channel for finding 'Lotus Seed', and his own 'Different Dimensional Navigation' which could quickly lock and confirm it. The next step would be the 'Palace Strategy'.

Unlike the original work where most of the characters are just "ordinary high school students", with the combat ability shown by Shirou Emiya, as long as the other party joins the team, even if it is not known whether they can awaken the "personality mask" in a short period of time, it will definitely increase the combat capability of the "team".

Lan Ke was more worried about whether the other party would work tirelessly to capture the palace.

As for whether the other party might become desperate and do something desperate?

Based on Lan Ke's surveillance of the 'Shuoyue Mao couple', there is no need to worry for the time being.

Because they have received instructions from the 'mastermind', which is to continue with the previous plan. Obviously, in the eyes of the mastermind, 'Lianren' was just unlucky to run into the gun of the 'Phantom Thieves of Hearts'.

The other party did not think that the 'Phantom Thieves of Hearts' would focus on small fry like the 'Sakutsuki Shigeru couple'.

Although the opponent's true identity is still hidden in the dark, he has driven a nail into the opponent's body without the opponent or even the informant himself realizing it.

Illya had no idea how much Lan Ke had done for her.

But she was very grateful to Lan Ke from the bottom of her heart, so grateful that she didn't even know what to say.

Lan Ke seemed to see through Illya's thoughts.

"Don't overthink it. We just did what we wanted to do. Illya, you just provided us with the information we needed."

As he spoke, Lan Ke rubbed the other person's head.

"Now, my dear child, all you need to do is get some rest. Maybe everything will be resolved after you wake up from a good sleep."

Although Lan Ke himself didn't believe what he said, Illya nodded seriously.

"Hmm~"

"Good~good boy~"

After glancing out the window and confirming that the 'Phantom Thief' had really left, Illya covered her head with the quilt in a somewhat disappointed mood. But then she remembered that the 'Phantom Thief' had actually taken the initiative to come and see her, and she felt an irrepressible sense of pride.

After all, the 'Phantom Thief of Heart' is someone whose true identity is unknown to the police, but he knows him.

"Hehehe~"

Thinking of this, Illya covered her mouth and laughed foolishly, but halfway through her laughter, she suddenly remembered something very serious.

The 'Phantom Thief of Hearts' has helped me so much, so what should I do?

Thinking of her 'pig storage tank' which had shrunk a lot due to the 'transformation prop' she had just bought, Illya decisively opened the search engine, as if intending to seek help from the Internet.

"Someone has done me a great favor, but I have nothing to offer in return. What should I do?"

Not long after she typed the question, an answer on the search engine caught her attention.

Move the stables to the forest

"Then I can only promise you my body..."

Chapter 58 A Pure and Persistent Person

"Promise yourself to me?!"

It was also thanks to Illya that she was worried that the light from the mobile phone would wake up her sister, so she covered her head with a quilt. Otherwise, even if she reacted and covered her head with the quilt, she would probably wake her up.

Even so, Miyu unconsciously turned her body around, her brows slightly furrowed, as if she was resisting something.

Thankfully, her frown was eventually smoothed over, her pajamas triumphing over her curiosity, and Miyu fell into a deep sleep once again.

This undoubtedly made Illya feel relieved.

Most of her body was covered by the quilt, with only a small head exposed. Illya looked like a frightened little rabbit looking around at the entrance of a cave, and only retracted her little head after confirming that the "threat" had disappeared.

Illya was undoubtedly relieved that Miyu was not awakened, but she still threw her phone away out of shyness.

But when she tried to tell herself "Don't think too much, you must go to bed early tonight", she found that the previous sentence lingered in her mind for a long time and she couldn't fall asleep at all.

Maybe it was just shyness after an unintentional glance at first, but when Illya really began to think about this problem unconsciously, everything seemed to change unconsciously.

Blushing with embarrassment, she finally lifted the quilt and picked up the phone she had thrown aside, continuing to read something. However, for some reason, her face became redder the more she read. Even so, she still had no intention of putting the phone down, and stared at the screen intently...

Lan Ke naturally had no idea what a certain elementary school student was thinking. If he knew, he would definitely feel helpless. After all, he was a very pure and persistent man.

In his previous life, when he was in his late thirties and approaching forty, he liked girls around 16 years old;

He is sixteen years old in this life, but he still likes girls around 16 years old!

As for why his assistant is dressed like a little cat girl?

Lan Ke said something must have gone wrong!!

The reason why he visited Illya first today was simply because he didn't want her to worry too much.

Now that the visit was over, Lan Ke naturally turned and headed towards Shirou Emiya's house.

Compared to his sister's room, Shirou Emiya's room is bigger. There is no window on the side facing the courtyard, but a huge sliding door.

Although it might be the characteristics of the 'Phantom Thief Suit', even with the metal boots and the clothes on his body shaking, there was no sound at all when walking on the wooden floor, but opening the door would probably wake up the already vigilant Emiya Shirou.

As for climbing through the window?

That's not cool at all, and it would be even stupider if the other person saw the process.

So Lan Ke specially used the "cognitive space" to enter the other party's room.

Normally, Lan Ke would never do such a thing. After all, the impact of "resurrecting a living person" on the world view of ordinary people is too great. Lan Ke also hopes to hide the fact that his ability is related to the "supernatural" as much as possible.

After all, the villains in the original novel were extremely crazy in order to obtain similar powers, and the villains in this world... are undoubtedly more in number.

If they knew that I had such power, who knows how much trouble it would cause.

But it doesn't matter right now, since he's planning to 'cheat Shirou Emiya to go up the mountain' anyway!

If they don't find anything, then continue with the previous plan. If they do find something, then take the opportunity to give them some "little thief shock".

As the space twisted, Lan Ke, wearing a thief costume and posing in a strange way, appeared in the room.

With his right hand clasped on his face, his left hand hugging his right elbow, his head tilted slightly upwards, his legs slightly spread apart while completely stretching out his white coat...

When he saw Shirou Emiya leaning against the wall with one leg in his arms, he felt complicated. For a moment, he didn't know whether he should be happy for his "smooth landing" or feel disappointed that his POSS was not seen.

So he had no choice but to act according to the original plan.

He took out a psychology book he had bought on the way back, turned over very lightly and sat on the other person's window, then began to wait.

Although he could take the initiative to wake the other person up, Lan Ke felt that it would be more ceremonial to let the other person wake up on their own.

I have to say that boys are often a bunch of "idiots". They often waste time and energy on things that others think have "no other meaning except being handsome".

For example...Lan Ke right now.

On the other side, Shirou Emiya didn't know whether he sensed the presence of a "foreign object" in the room or was simply a light sleeper, but his eyelids twitched unconsciously almost immediately after Lan Ke arrived.

Unlike a child who would linger in bed for a while even after waking up, Emiya Shirou opened his eyes almost as soon as he regained consciousness.

Looking at the room that was almost the same as before, Shirou Emiya felt a little lost for some reason.

Although he swore allegiance to the 'Phantom Thieves of Hearts' in order to protect his sister, he also had a good impression of the Phantom Thieves. Especially according to the information he bought, the 'Phantom Thieves of Hearts' had only been out for half a month, but they had already dealt with several villains who had escaped legal punishment for various reasons!

Emiya Shirou, who has always longed to become a 'partner of justice', also has some vague expectations for this.

But when he was about to get up and drink some water, he was suddenly stunned!

Because he saw a figure sitting on his window holding a book in one hand.

The other person had a contented expression on his face, as if he was supposed to be there.

But the problem is that the other party shouldn't be here at all!

Suddenly a chill rushed to my head!

After all, he was completely unaware of the other party, which meant that if the other party planned to do anything to him, he would have no chance of resistance.
