Anime, but the Phantom Thieves of Heart

But there was no malice in this laughter, instead there was a hint of joy and happiness.

"It's okay~ It's okay~ And don't worry, I won't tell Jotaro~"

It was obvious that when Noriaki Kakyoin looked at Lan Ke, he seemed to be reminded of his student days with Jotaro.

Although the two are usually more reliable than each other, when two boys are together, there will inevitably be some silly moments, and they are no exception.

But after laughing, the smile on his face became even more kind.

Unlike Jotaro Kujo who got married at a young age, Noriaki Kakyoin is still single until now. However, when he looks at Lan Ke, he can't help but recall the scene when he held her in his arms not long after she was born.

But as he thought about it, he couldn't help but think of the other child he was holding. When he compared them——————

"It would be great if that child could be half as sensible as Narukami-kun~"

As if in response to his sigh, the door of the study was suddenly opened.

“Crash~!!”

Accompanied by an extremely exaggerated whistling sound of air, a girl wearing a tank top and a loose jacket walked out of the study angrily.

But when the other party saw Lan Ke, he was obviously stunned for a moment, and it was obvious that he did not expect to see a stranger here.

But at this moment, Jotaro Kujo had already caught up.

Looking at Lan Ke in the living room, Jotaro Kujo was obviously stunned for a moment, as if he did not expect to be caught by Lan Ke at such an embarrassing moment.

But he still adjusted his mood and tried to introduce himself.

"Narukami, this is my daughter, Jolyne Kujo..."

Although the other person's hairstyle was different from what he remembered, Lan Ke had already guessed his identity based on the strange hair color and the place he was in.

However, when Jotaro Kujo tried to introduce Lan Ke to Jolyne Kujo, he was interrupted by the other party.

"No need for introductions, I know you, Narukami-kun, the 'good student' you mentioned! Humph!!"

Although he was just a little confused before, it seemed that because of the surname called out by Jotaro Kujo, the other party suddenly showed hostility towards Lan Ke.

Lan Ke was not a fool, so he naturally knew that this hostility was not because of him.

In other words...Is this someone being angered by?

However, he was not angry, but in a good mood, because he found that he seemed to have found a way to improve Jotaro Kujo's 'RANK'!

So he smiled and stretched out his right hand.

"I'm Narukami, but I wouldn't be considered a 'good student'. After all, if I were a 'good student', I probably wouldn't be here."

Lan Ke's answer was obviously a little beyond Kujo Jolyne's expectations.

But facing Lan Ke's active show of goodwill, Xu Lun Kujo, who was originally a little hot-headed, gradually calmed down and she directly held Lan Ke's right hand.

"Sorry, I'm in a bad mood. Let's talk again when we have a chance."

After saying that, he walked straight up to the second floor, leaving the three grown men in the living room looking at each other in bewilderment...

Chapter 5 The opportunity to improve RANK has appeared!

"Da~da~da~"

As Jolyne Kujo's footsteps became lighter and lighter, Jotaro Kujo, who had been staring at the stairs, couldn't help but sigh.

"I'm sorry, Narukami, I made you laugh. As you can see, my relationship with my daughter is... not very good."

I have to say that Jotaro is indeed more mature. At first glance, what he said seemed like a simple introduction, but in fact he was taking the blame for Jolyne Kujo's rudeness on himself.

Lan Ke didn't say much about this. After all, it would not be good for him to respond or not, so he simply changed the subject.

"Am I back too late today? If I had known that Mr. Kakyoin and Ms. Jolyne were coming today, I would have come back earlier..."

In response to Lan Ke's change of topic, Kakyoin Noriaki took over the topic very skillfully.

"I originally wanted to give you a surprise, Narukami-kun, but unfortunately it suddenly rained heavily in Shizuoka today. The plane was delayed and we didn't know when we would arrive. We thought we would have to spend the night at the airport... but the rain suddenly stopped."

Having said that, Noriaki Kakyoin shrugged helplessly.

Obviously, if it hadn't been raining, they would have been able to arrive before dinner. At that time, they would definitely notify Jotaro Kujo first, and Jotaro Kujo would also notify Lan Ke.

However, due to the rain, the plane was delayed. Later, after Jotaro received a call from Kakyoin, Lan Ke had already arrived at the "Bushima Dojo". The other party felt that they should not disturb Lan Ke's work, so they did not specifically notify Lan Ke.

However, neither Jotaro nor Kakyoin expected that Jotaro would have another quarrel with Jolyne, and it was quite embarrassing that Lan Ke happened to see it.

Kakyoin Noriaki shrugged his shoulders but seemed to suddenly remember something.

"By the way, Narukami-kun, you should have just returned from the 'Busujima Dojo', right? I guess you must be tired. Go to bed early. We can discuss our matters tomorrow. Then I will give you a surprise~"

Compared to the taciturn Jotaro Kujo, Noriaki Kakyoin always has a gentle smile on his face, which makes people hard to refuse.

Fortunately, Lan Ke also knew that as a "child", it was not appropriate for him to join in the conversation between two adults, so he simply nodded.

"Okay, good night, Mr. Kujo, Mr. Kakyoin."

After saying that, Lan Ke also went upstairs obediently.

"Hu~~"

Only then did Jotaro Kujo let out a long sigh.

Qianxun 960 Yier Liu Er Qi Ling

Seeing his friend, who remained calm even in the face of fully armed terrorists, showing a tired expression, Kakyoin Noriaki couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Seeing this, Jotaro Kujo didn't waste any time. He just grabbed a pillow and threw it over, glaring at the other person.

It's as if to say 'You're still laughing'.

Obviously, because his good friend is still alive, Jotaro Kujo has someone to confide his troubles to, and he can also let down all his defenses.

Faced with Jotaro Kujo's somewhat "childish" behavior, Noriaki Kakyoin did not resist. Instead, he smiled and waved his hand to indicate that he gave up.

Seeing this, Jotaro Kujo also sat on the sofa opposite the other party.

Perhaps because he had just had an argument with his daughter, the father who always looked "invincible" now leaned his whole body on the back of the sofa. With most of his body wrapped in the sofa, he looked a little lonely.

Seeing this, Noriaki Kakyoin gradually put away the smile on his face.

"What was the quarrel about just now?"

Faced with his friend's question, Jotaro Kujo sighed helplessly.

"Maybe it's because I mentioned Narukami..."

Although Jotaro Kujo did not specify what was said between him and Jolyne Kujo, Noriaki Kakyoin, who knew both parties well, could roughly guess what happened.

It was nothing more than that Jotaro Kujo praised Lan Ke a few more times when introducing her as a boarding student, and then Jolyne Kujo got angry.

Thinking of this, he felt that he had nothing to say, so he took out a can from the bag beside him and threw it at Jotaro Kujo.

"then!"

"!!"

Looking at the familiar beer in his palm, Jotaro Kujo couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. After all, he actually rarely drinks now, but looking at this can that is not much different from twenty years ago, he couldn't help but recall the days when he and the other party secretly drank together after school.

“Sizzle~!”

"Gudong~Gudong~"

The metal ring was pulled open, and with his Adam's apple moving, Jotaro Kujo killed most of them in a very heroic manner.

Seeing this, Noriaki Kakyoin didn't say much, but just picked up the can and listened for a while.

Looking at the foam at each other's mouths, Jotaro Kujo seemed to have returned to the carefree days of the past.

It’s a pity that Noriaki Kakyoin didn’t seem to have any intention of letting him go. After drinking half a can of beer, he started to criticize the other party.

It was obvious that he was helpless about a fool like Jotaro Kujo who would quarrel with his daughter within a quarter of an hour of meeting her.

Originally, the purpose of bringing Jolyne Kujo back this time was to help the father and daughter repair their relationship, but unexpectedly, the beginning was not smooth.

Thinking of this, Kakyoin Noriaki became furious.

The usually strong Jotaro Kujo also chose to remain silent today, which was rare.

Downstairs, Noriaki Kakyoin was teaching a "stupid dad" a lesson, while on the other side, Lan Ke, who had returned to the second floor, decisively lay down on the bed and prepared to rest.

But he was not really tired, but planned to take a rest first and then go to Jotaro Kujo's "hall" for a stroll.

At first, in Lan Ke's opinion, Jotaro Kujo would not be able to give birth to a "palace" if Noriaki Kakyoin and the others were still alive, but after seeing the quarrel between him and Jolyne Kujo tonight, Lan Ke probably guessed the reason why the other party's "palace" was born - family.

Now that the other party's 'family' has returned to him, whether good or bad, there should be some changes in the 'hall'.

After all, there is a correspondence between the 'cognitive world' and the 'real world'.

The only difference is that the 'cognitive world' is often difficult to identify or becomes somewhat abstract due to cognitive distortion.

Now, since Lan Ke wants to improve Jotaro Kujo's 'RANK', he just needs to find the problem and solve it, and then he should be able to improve the opponent's 'RANK'!

Thinking of this, Lan Ke couldn't help but become full of energy!

However, before heading to Jotaro Kujo's palace, Lan Ke still needs to go back to the "Velvet" first.

After all, apart from the 'surprise' prepared by his assistant, he had other things to deal with.

Almost at the same time when Lan Ke was about to go to the "Velvet", he felt his consciousness become blurred. When he regained consciousness, he could hear the sound of waves again.

"Wow~~"

Although he was a little unsteady at first because of the bumpy waves, but maybe because he had been here so many times, Lan Ke had gradually gotten used to the feeling of being on the boat.

Lan Ke didn't waste any time and walked straight to the 'wheelhouse'.

On weekdays, my assistant is always waiting there for me.

But to his surprise, there was no one in the 'wheelhouse' today, so he opened the small door leading to the 'captain's room'.

This time the room was finally not empty, but it was not the person he was looking for.

"Ah~Mr. Narukami~Good evening~"

A girl with long silver hair was greeting Lan Ke with a bright smile.

There was a small basin next to the other person.

There was no doubt that this pot was the one Lan Ke had bought before, after all, the label on it had not been torn off. But what puzzled Lan Ke was that he had only given the other party a pot and a few seeds as a "joining gift".

But at this time, the daisies in the pot were already in full bloom.

Following Lan Ke's puzzled gaze, Emilia naturally noticed what Lan Ke was looking at and hurriedly explained.

"I think the boat seems a bit deserted, so I want to plant some flowers... Is that okay?"

Looking at Emilia, who was holding a flower pot and hiding her head behind it with a cautious expression, Lan Ke couldn't help but look at her again.

'Daisy' is smaller and less noticeable than ordinary chrysanthemums, but it has strong vitality.

Looking at Emilia, who was obviously very cute but a little insecure because she didn't interact with strangers very often, he suddenly felt that the seeds he bought casually seemed to be more suitable for her than he had imagined.

"I wonder when the 'daisy' will become a 'cosmos'..."

Lan Ke couldn't help but sigh softly, but Emilia explained seriously.

"'Daisies' and 'cosmos' are two different flowers. If you like, Mr. Narukami, I can also plant some 'cosmos', but I'll need to trouble you to buy some seeds."

Facing the serious Emilia, Lan Ke didn't know how to explain to her that the "daisy" and "cosmos" he mentioned were just nicknames, and they were referring to each other.

So he simply ended the topic.

"Next time I go to the flower shop, I'll buy some if I see them... By the way, where is Tina?"

When she heard that Lan Ke bought a new flower species called 'Emilia', she smiled brightly, but when she heard Lan Ke ask about 'Tina', she just shook her head.

"Sorry, I haven't seen 'Miss Assistant' all day."

Although Emilia did not give a direct answer, Lan Ke had already guessed her location.

After all, Tina's favorite thing is to stay in the 'wheelhouse' and listen to the sound of the waves, or lie in the 'captain's room' and read comics and slack off. Since she is not here now and has not shown up all day——————

"Is that thing so troublesome?"

After muttering to himself, Lan Ke said goodbye to Emilia and walked straight towards the execution room. Thinking about Tina at this time, he did not notice that Emilia was silently staring at his back as he disappeared before his eyes.

It was not until Lan Ke disappeared that a small cat head emerged from Emilia's hair.

"You're such an idiot asking about other women in front of my 'daughter'~"
