Anime, but the Phantom Thieves of Heart

"What makes you think that the 'material world' you live in is normal?"

Faced with the question from his assistant, Lan Ke's expression suddenly changed.

"Wait?! Could it be that the 'false god' has escaped?!"

"I don't know~"

This time, the 'Assistant Cat' who had been constantly answering Lan Ke's questions raised his head without hesitation.

"Although I do know some things that you, Captain, don't, as I said, Igor doesn't exist here. What I know is simply because I was born from the Sea of ​​Spirit. Therefore, what I know is what the World told me when I was born. I don't know anything else."

Faced with this answer, Lan Ke didn't know what to say for a moment.

And the other party spoke again.

"What's on the bottom floor of 'Impression Space (Subway Station)'?"

"Why is your 'Velvet Room' drifting on the 'Sea of ​​Spirits'?"

"Why are you traveling across worlds?"

"I don't know."

Faced with his own righteous little cat, Lan Ke seemed very helpless.

"Then why do you think the 'material world' I live in is normal?"

"That's what I'm even more confused about. Why do you, Captain, think a world composed of countless worlds merged together, with people like you able to freely travel between the cognitive world and the material world, is 'normal'?"

Faced with the question from his assistant, Lan Ke didn't know how to refute it for a moment.

"But I think all of this has to do with you. After all, you're the only one with 'authority'. The source of all these changes comes from you. When you figure out your own life story, I think the answer won't be far away."

"But I don't think you should worry too much for now. After all, if the 'cognitive world' and the 'material world' are truly completely integrated, then the 'Velvet' will not be able to sail so easily on the 'sea of ​​spirit'. It will inevitably cause huge waves..."

Although the question that concerned him most remained unanswered, he felt relieved by the comfort from his assistant.

If you really encounter this situation, let me make an inappropriate analogy.

It was like just after I got the 'Sharpest Sword in the Village (Persona Awakening)', the 'Demon King (Crisis of World Destruction)' came to block the door halfway.

But just as he breathed a sigh of relief, the other party spoke again.

"So it's going to be an execution?"

Facing his assistant's eyes, full of anticipation, as if staring at a ball of yarn, Lan Ke almost agreed immediately. But when he glanced at the mask level registered in the "Complete Book of Personalities" and the number of "gold coins" required to summon the Personality Mask...

Feel sorry!

Farewell!

He is such a poor guy that he can’t afford to play with it!

Although today was a thrilling day, the real 'trophy' was only the double-digit protection fee collected from Pixie, which was not even enough to summon another Pixie.

You can't use 'Lamer' as material, right?

Now he can carry and switch three personality masks at any time to fight. The card slots are not filled. Not to mention the strength of the summoned personality masks, at least the optional tactics have been reduced.

so------

⒏14 The Age of

"Next time definitely!"

The cat was obviously disappointed after receiving Lan Ke's response.

I don't know if it's because of my appearance, but even though I knew the method of 'execution' when I was born, I can't help but want to try it myself. I always feel itchy if I don't try it...

Looking at his assistant who was well-behaved but had an expression of "want to give it a try", Lan Ke also made up his mind.

"It's still early. I'll go to the Impression Space and grab a few Personalities. Shall we give it a try?"

The little kitten's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard Lan Ke's words, but then he raised his head.

"Since you, Captain, want to try, I'll just send you out..."

Before Lan Ke could even finish his words, the other person nimbly climbed into Lan Ke's arms and made a strange gurgling sound.

This sudden gurgling sound seemed to have an inexplicable magic that made Lan Ke feel drowsy.

Fortunately, unlike his previous 'coma', he was at least still conscious, so he simply spoke again.

"correct……"

The cat, which was originally lying in Lan Ke's arms, made a strange purring sound and raised its head to look at Lan Ke in confusion.

"Didn't you say before that I could choose a name if I liked it? What do you think of the name Christina? After all, even though it's just a cat, you look like a Western princess. This name seems to suit you quite well. If you think it's too long, how about just calling you Tina..."

As Lan Ke muttered to himself like a sleepwalker, he became more and more sleepy, until he could no longer resist the invasion of sleep and slowly fell asleep.

But even so, the sound of the waves continued to echo in his ears.

"I am you...you are me...

Here you have a new lease

As the saying goes, firewood is the firewood that is reborn from the ashes.

I, the mask of power, was born bathed in the wind of blessing.

We will provide further support for pioneering the future..."

Lan Ke admitted that he was utilitarian. He gave the dried fish to his assistant more to improve his assistant's favorability and see if he could open the "Tarot".

Now, only Tarot has not been activated in his "operation panel".

But he didn't expect that the dried fish he bought with great care didn't work. Instead, the act of naming the other party activated the 'Tarot' of his assistant.

Unfortunately, Lan Ke, who was already drowsy at this time, couldn't say anything, but he saw that the assistant who was originally lying on his chest... no, it should be "Tina" was dancing constantly, as if trying to disperse something.

But it seemed to notice Lan Ke's gaze, and in panic it tried to block Lan Ke's eyes with its front paws.

Before he passed out, his last thought was: The cat's paw pad is so soft!

When he regained consciousness, it was pitch black outside the window. He could even see the stars in the sky through the skylight above his head. He thought that tomorrow's weather should be very good.

I don't know if it's because my body was in a deep sleep when I entered the Velvet Room, but although I was still a little tired when I got up, my body had basically returned to normal, and the dull pain in my body was no longer there.

"Kacha~Kacha~"

After stretching and doing some simple exercises, Lan Ke planned to go to the "subway station", but when he went downstairs, he found that the lights in the living room were on.

"Jotaro Kujo is back?"

QQ: 814 9 0 37 98

Lan Ke, somewhat confused, walked down to the second floor and, as expected, saw Jotaro Kujo taking off his coat.

"Good evening, Mr. Kujo."

Chapter 15 'Can I use my student ID?'

Although Jotaro Kujo was a little tired after just returning from school, he still nodded habitually as a greeting to Lan Ke who greeted him, but then he seemed to realize that something was wrong.

Jotaro Kujo pursed his lips as if he was considering something, and spoke again after a while.

“How’s the new school?”

"It was great. Both the teachers and the students were very enthusiastic. I even visited the Kendo Club at the suggestion of Mr. Fujimura."

It was obvious that Lan Ke was referring to Fujimura Taikawa who introduced each of his teachers to him, the Kudo couple who took the initiative to take care of him, and Suzuki Sonoko.

Hearing this, Jotaro Kujo nodded silently and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

After all, according to the news sent back by Hirose Koichi, Lan Ke seems to be a bit withdrawn, and he is also a member of the "Home Club" and has no friends at school at all.

It is a good thing to be willing to take the initiative to participate in club activities in your new school.

"The club atmosphere at Teitan is quite good, and it's very professional. Many alumni are willing to provide some help to their former clubs. There's even a 'Diving Club' that most schools don't have."

Diving club?

It is indeed a club that sounds unlikely to exist in an inland school like Teitan, but why did the other party suddenly mention this?

Could it be that——————

"Mr. Kujo, were you in the diving club back then?"

In response to Lan Ke's curiosity, Jotaro Kujo, who had just taken off his hat, gave affirmation while taking off his coat.

"That's right. I'm very interested in the ocean. I wanted to go down there and see for myself, so I joined the diving club. I usually train with the swimming club, and we organize diving activities on weekends. We also have group activities during the winter and summer vacations..."

Although Jotaro Kujo is not easy to get along with, his expression was noticeably gentler when he talked about the club. It seems that club life must have left him with many good memories. However, perhaps he was not very good at showing his soft side in front of "children", so he coughed lightly and changed the subject.

"If you're interested, I can take you with me when I go to Izu for a conference during this winter break. I can then introduce you to my friend to study with me."

Perhaps because he saw that Lan Ke seemed quite curious, he simply made a suggestion.

diving?

Thinking of the 'sea of ​​spirit' that concealed countless secrets and the 'cognitive world' that seemed to be submerged, Lan Ke felt that he needed to master certain skills, at least not to be a landlubber like in his previous life.

"Will it not trouble you?"

"It's okay, it's not a serious academic conference. Oh, and the local seafood is pretty good too..."

Speaking of seafood, Lan Ke suddenly remembered something.

"Ah! I almost forgot!"

Then, under Jotaro Kujo's strange gaze, Lan Ke rushed into the kitchen and brought a plate.

"Mr. Kujo, you must be hungry. It will take some time to prepare dinner. I ordered this sushi for you. Do you like it?"

It is obvious that Lan Ke wants to improve the favorability of more than just his own assistant.

He had stuffed this sushi into his 'backpack' in advance, and it was even still warm.

Jotaro Kujo naturally didn't know the special abilities of the 'backpack', but looking at the sushi in front of him with a faint white mist on the lid, Jotaro Kujo fell silent.

It's a bit strange. He has been living separately from his mother since he got married. After his wife passed away, she had a conflict with her daughter. He originally thought that he had long been accustomed to being alone at home and at the dining table, but when he looked at Lan Ke with a smile on her face, he was actually a little touched.

But as a tough guy who followed his grandfather to Egypt to rescue his kidnapped mother when he was a minor, he suppressed his emotions well and just unconsciously pushed the bag containing the dinner lunch box behind him.

"Indeed, it will take some time to order takeout... Sorry to bother you."

"I should be the one thanking you, Mr. Kujo. After all, I bought it with your money. Not to mention, if you hadn't taken me in, I don't know where I would be now."

Perhaps guessing that Jotaro Kujo might not be very good at sensationalism, Lan Ke didn't say much, but stopped at the right time and told the other party that he planned to go to the convenience store to buy something.

Jotaro Kujo naturally had no objection to this. After all, they had just moved in, so it was not surprising that there were a few missing things. He was just reminding the other party to come back early.

With permission, Lan Ke left the Kujo family smoothly, but when he left the Kujo residence, he suddenly remembered something.

qun９㈥檪⒈②６⑵⒎○

According to Tina, shadows are not only possessed by evil people. Even if they come from good intentions, as long as they are strong enough, they may still attract certain "existences" to possess them, thus giving birth to "shadows" and building a temple.

Doesn't that mean that Jotaro Kujo may also have his own "palace"?

Lan Ke was not planning to change the other party's heart, but was considering going directly to the other party's hall to capture the "personality mask", which could save a lot of time.

Just do it when you want to. Lan Ke took out his mobile phone and opened the other-dimensional navigation.

But when he was about to do 'navigation', he found a small red dot on the APP.

Although this was not a problem at all, Lan Ke's obsessive-compulsive disorder still drove him to click on the "Tarot Column" with "NEW" printed on it.

The originally empty 'Tarot Column' now has a tarot card called 'Strength'.

But when he tried to choose it, a point of light slowly floated out from his chest, and then he saw the tarot card slowly growing larger, until it finally materialized in front of Lan Ke and fell into his palm.

It doesn't feel very smooth in the hand, but it has a very textured feel. The back is the standard 'P Series Blue Tarot Card Back', and the front is a figure with his back to the rudder in the storm and a cat hanging on the rudder.

It seems that because of the storm, the 'captain' alone cannot control the ship, so the cats are working together with each other.

Although it was just a silhouette, Lan Ke could tell that it should correspond to himself and his assistant.

But compared to his somewhat aloof assistant, the cat in Katu and the captain, although looking quite funny, were much closer.

"I wonder when my assistant will be as close as the ones in Tarot."

Thinking of this, Lan Ke couldn't help but smile knowingly.
