Anime, but the Phantom Thieves of Heart

"Oh~! You're really Kudo! Tell me about it, I'm curious too!"

Hearing Lan Ke praising him, Kudo Shinichi immediately showed a happy expression. After all, boys' happiness is sometimes very simple, such as a friend's heartfelt "Awesome".

Kudo Shinichi is also in this state at this time.

He started explaining like pouring beans without even needing Lan Ke to urge him, but he asked a question before he began.

“Are there any other restrictions?”

QQ: 8 1 4 9 0 3 7 9 8

Lan Ke thought about the 'cyberpunk world' and didn't seem to see any restrictions.

Seeing this, Kudo Shinichi nodded proudly.

"In that case, I have three strategies: top, middle, and bottom!"

"The best strategy is to disguise yourself as someone who meets the requirements and appear at the scene openly. This will not only avoid arousing suspicion, but you can even use the disguise to do other things."

"Zhongce, since we're using electronic equipment for monitoring, we only need to get rid of the 'person in charge of monitoring' first. After all, monitoring is inert, and only humans can react to it."

"The worst option is to directly control the relevant people and obtain more intelligence to determine the next plan. We will analyze the specific situation..."

Should Lan Ke complain that the statement "I learn murder techniques by watching Conan" is true?

As an excellent detective, Kudo Shinichi is good at solving crimes as well as committing them, but he usually shows more of the former.

"Oh~!"

Although Lan Ke only exclaimed in surprise, he was actually thinking about something else - detectives are really useful! !

Indeed, using the solution provided by the other party in the outside world is almost equivalent to surrendering directly.

But in the 'Impression Space', this problem does not exist. To Lan Ke, the other party is simply the 'perfect assistant'! !

Hearing Lan Ke's exclamation from the bottom of his heart again, Kudo Shinichi felt even more proud.

But at the same time, he secretly reminded himself not to reveal his inspiration.

After all, the inspiration for "Best Strategy" comes from "Kaito Kidd", who is most talked about for his powerful ability to disguise and change clothes. It is said that he can even "transform" in front of everyone and then blend into the crowd without being discovered.

As for 'Zhongce', it came from a case committed by 'Cat's Eye' before. It was said that they had used photos to create a completely simulated photo and covered it on the camera, so that the people in the monitoring room did not notice anything unusual until 'Cat's Eye' left.

The inspiration for 'The Worst Plan' comes from 'The Phantom Thieves of Hearts'. I heard that the crime-solving rate of various departments of the National Police Agency has increased by several points recently because of 'The Phantom Thieves of Hearts'. Kudo Shinichi took a special look at the National Police Agency several times when he went there. Based on the testimonies of those who surrendered themselves, it is entirely possible to follow the clues to find the culprit.

That's right! All of Kudo Shinichi's inspiration comes from records related to "Phantom Thieves" in various books and magazines.

However, when others asked him for help, he used the information of his "opponents" to come up with a new plan. Kudo Shinichi would not take advantage of this "advantage".

After all, a proud man like him doesn't want to be accused of parroting others.

As for Lan Ke, while expressing his admiration for Kudo Shinichi, he began to think about practicality.

Generally speaking, when three strategies are proposed, the people who propose them are actually more inclined to the "best strategy", and the rest are just to make up the numbers.

It's a pity that after thinking about it, Lan Ke chose the "worst option" that Kudo Shinichi seemed to least recommend.

After all, although the best plan is convenient, the problem is that neither he nor Emiya Shirou knows how to "put on makeup", let alone the so-called "changing clothes".

The "middle strategy" is to extract people's inherent ideas.

Just like before for this plan.

It is not limited to the 'room full of surveillance cameras', but focuses on the outside.

It would naturally be safe to directly take over all the cameras, but the problem is that, just like the first solution, they also lack professional technical personnel.

Thinking about it this way, the third option is more suitable. At least it is the most suitable option for them right now...

Chapter 32 Something is wrong with Matou Shinji

Lan Ke is definitely a man who does what he says. Since he has said that he will be Kudo Shinichi's wingman, he will definitely not go back on his word.

Not to mention that the other party is trying hard to help me conquer the palace and give me advice, so I can't treat him unfairly.

At the last lunch, with Kudo Shinichi secretly giving her a thumbs up, Lan Ke invited Suzuki Sonoko to go have lunch with Emiya Shirou.

However, unlike what Kudo Shinichi thought, it was actually much easier for Lan Ke to invite Suzuki Sonoko than he imagined.

Lan Ke's words made the young lady obey him.

"That idiot Kudo seems to be planning to 'move forward'. How about giving him some space at noon today?"

Suzuki Sonoko was not at all surprised by Lan Ke's words.

After all, she has known the two of them for almost ten years, and it can be said that she has been familiar with them since she can remember.

Even the other students in the school basically assumed that the two were a couple. How could Suzuki Sonoko, the "sugar-eating master", not know this?

huh○⋯⒉弍/③○玖ノ╲

In fact, she had tried to create opportunities for the two of them before, but unfortunately, the two of them retreated at the critical moment, and Mao Lilan would be angry afterwards.

Suzuki Sonoko, who was becoming increasingly disappointed with Kudo Shinichi, simply gave up.

Now that Lan Ke suddenly brought up this matter again, Suzuki Sonoko's first reaction was—Impossible!

But looking at Lan Ke's serious expression, Suzuki Sonoko's eyes suddenly lit up.

Although I have only known Lan Ke for more than half a month, he has always been extremely reliable and has a very good relationship with Kudo Shinichi, so he should not talk nonsense.

Thinking of this, Suzuki Sonoko accepted Lan Ke's invitation without hesitation.

However, when Suzuki Sonoko followed Lan Ke to their destination, her eyes lit up, and she secretly exclaimed that she was truly a "good person who gets good rewards."

Because Lan Ke invited the other party to have lunch with Shirou Emiya and others!

Yes, it's 'they'.

"Good afternoon, Suzuki-san."

Unlike the unruly guy last night who rode a motorcycle and carried two guns and dared to play Grand Theft Auto with the police in a city, Shirou Emiya usually appears gentle and elegant. Even Suzuki Sonoko, who had given up on him a long time ago, couldn't help but feel her eyes brighten.

Xianxun⒏Ⅰ⒋Jiuling⒢ Wife and uncle

At the same time that Emiya Shirou greeted them, the blue-haired man next to him pushed his glasses and nodded at them.

"Narakami-san, Suzuki-san, good afternoon."

Compared to smiling, the other person's expression was much more serious. However, the strange thing was that although the other person looked good, Suzuki Sonoko's smile, which was originally due to Emiya Shirou, froze there unconsciously.

As for the reason?

Very simple——————

"President Liudong, good afternoon."

"Since you're Shirou's friend, you can just call me 'Ryuudou'."

That's right, the other party is the current student union president, 'Yanagi Kazunari', and coincidentally, before the previous president retired this year, the other party was the vice president in charge of discipline and campus activities. He has banned the "strange activities" that Suzuki Sonoko participated in more than once.

Hearing this, Suzuki Sonoko couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

But at this moment, a slightly frivolous voice suddenly came.

"Suzuki-san~Good afternoon~"

Following the sound, Suzuki Sonoko saw a man with a kelp-haired face, smiling and supporting his forehead with one hand.

When he looked at it, the other person suddenly lifted his bangs and showed a bright smile.

The other person also looked good, but unfortunately Suzuki Sonoko shuddered instinctively.

Although she likes handsome guys, she instinctively resists this kind of man who is like a peacock with its tail spread out... Maybe she has met too many of them in her daily life?

Although her sister's relationship has not been announced, most people's "firepower" is focused on her, but as the second daughter of the Suzuki family, many people who "don't want to work hard" and feel that they have no chance of pursuing the other sister have set their sights on Suzuki Sonoko.

She almost instinctively wanted to hide behind Lan Ke, and almost at the same time, Liu Dong Yicheng swung his hand knife on the other's head.

"Bang~"

Although it was not serious, it at least stopped its rampage temporarily.

"Idiot, you scared Suzuki-san."

While Ryudo Issei was teaching Matou Shinji a lesson, Emiya Shirou, with a helpless expression on his face, also spoke.

"Sorry, Suzuki-san, did Shinji scare you? Don't worry, he's just not very good at getting along with strangers."

'Not very good at getting along with others and still exuding hormones?'

Almost at the same time as Suzuki Sonoko was complaining in her heart, Yanagido Kazunari, who had finished teaching the other party a lesson, also spoke.

"To put it simply, I'm a 'dumb idiot with no luck with the opposite sex', so I don't really know how to get along with girls..."

"Hey! Idiot Ryudo! What do you mean I'm an idiot? The one who calls others idiots is the idiot, right?!"

Matou Shinji, who had been acting obediently after being taught a lesson by the other party, instinctively started to refute after hearing the name "idiot", as if he was trying to cover up something.

Ryudo Kazunari, who had been with the other person for such a long time, silently pushed his glasses.

"So you don't deny that you have no luck with the opposite sex, right?"

As the saying goes, 'Lies hurt little, the truth cuts sharper.'

Ryudo Kazunari asked without any unnecessary emotion. Although it was a question, his extremely firm question made Matou Shinji freeze in his tracks.

After all, we have been friends for so many years, there is no point in being stubborn.

After silently watching the two's 'performance', Emiya Shirou also shrugged at Suzuki Sonoko.

"That's it."

Suzuki Sonoko also breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this scene.

If you think about it carefully, there is no need to say much about Shirou Emiya's reputation in the school. If he didn't have two younger sisters to take care of, the girls who pursued him might have to get a number and queue up. Even so, there are girls who confess to him from time to time.

Liudong Kazunari was appointed as the next student council president when he was only in his first year, defeating a second-year senior. He officially became the new student council president more than half a month ago. There is no need to say much about his ability and reputation.

Being able to be their friend, that guy called 'Matou Shinji' should not be much worse.

So she nodded at the other party.

"Good afternoon, Matou-san."

As Suzuki Sonoko finished speaking, Matou Shinji, who had originally looked lost, instantly showed a bright smile.

It was not known whether it was because of the sense of security brought by Lan Ke, or because she realized the true nature of Matou Shinji, but Suzuki Sonoko, who had calmed down, suddenly found that the other person with a bright smile on his face seemed a bit like... the large dog raised by the butler?

When the housekeeper scolded him for doing something wrong, he would always squat there with his head down, looking like a dejected Shikigami. But as long as she shouted "Want to play ball throwing game?", he would run over again with full energy.

Thinking this way, she was no longer nervous, but gradually regained her former vitality.

Just looking at his friend's happy expression, Emiya Shirou couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

I don't know whether to say that my friend is generous or too optimistic.

Every time a girl shows kindness to him, even if it's just to help him pick up something, he can't help but have wild thoughts and wonder if the other person has a crush on him, and then... A!

The final result was naturally being rejected without hesitation, and finally coming to them crying to complain.

In the past, Emiya Shirou and Ryudo Issei would comfort him seriously, after all, they were friends who had known each other since childhood.

But after it happens so often, they basically just ask, "Here we go again?" or "Probably?" and then just ignore it, thinking it will heal soon anyway.

However, just as Suzuki Sonoko was communicating with Yanagido Kazunari and Matou Shinji was occasionally interjecting and adding to the conversation, Lan Ke on the other side got together with Emiya Shirou.

"Shirou, these two friends of yours..."

Emiya Shirou thought that Lan Ke was worried that their identities might be revealed, so he shook his head quietly to show that he had not told them about the 'Phantom Thieves of Hearts'.

Only then did Lan Ke realize that Shirou Emiya had misunderstood his meaning, and he quickly added a sentence.

"I mean Shirou, do you know your two friends well?"

"I met Shinji when I transferred to Tokyo in elementary school. Since we both transferred from Fuyuki, we became friends quickly. Issei became our friend after transferring to Teitan in junior high... What happened?"

Although Lan Ke seemed to be doing fine, Shirou Emiya, who had once "stolen hearts" with Lan Ke, noticed Lan Ke's seriousness and couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Unfortunately, he didn't know that the reason why Lan Ke unconsciously revealed such an aura was more because of "doubt".

After all, Shinji Matou was very different from what he had imagined.

Although Shinji Matou usually looks arrogant, he is actually very inferior in nature. His hostility towards Shirou Emiya in the original work stems from this.

But why does he look like... a Husky now?
