Anime, but the Phantom Thieves of Heart

Lan Ke walked out of the house and saw that the car that brought him back was still parked at the door. The driver who got out of the car and was waiting seemed to see the confusion in Lan Ke's eyes, and he spoke directly.

"My lady asked me to take you, Narukami-kun, straight to school."

Seeing the other person smiling but showing no sign of retreat, Lan Ke knew that he probably couldn't refuse, so he simply got in the car.

However, Lan Ke still asked the driver to drop him off near the school. After all, Lan Ke didn't want some strange rumor about the 'transfer student being kept by the Busujima family' to spread tomorrow.

But when he arrived at the school, he saw Shirou Emiya leaning against the door.

What's wrong with the other party?

Although he didn't know what was going on, Lan Ke still went over.

"Shirou?"

At this time, Lan Ke had no idea that a "crisis" had occurred. Seeing Lan Ke, Emiya Shirou motioned for Lan Ke to follow him in. He didn't come close to Lan Ke and lowered his voice until there was no one around.

"Naraka..."

"Ok?"

"I have someone I hope can change his mind..."

Chapter 44: The Crazy Vibrating 'Disaster Gem'

Although he had to face Jotaro Kujo's 'death stare' early in the morning, Lan Ke had made up his mind that as long as he could help Kujo and his daughter restore their relationship in the end, then Jotaro Kujo should be able to understand him, right?

After all, during this process, as long as he doesn't take the initiative to flirt with Xu Lun, the other party's RANK should... not rise too quickly, right?

However, because he was always worried about the hardness of his skull, Lan Ke's expression was rather serious along the way, but when he heard what Shirou Emiya said, his eyes instantly became sharp.

He first took out his phone and glanced at the 'Alternate Dimension Navigation' to make sure there was no one around before he spoke again.

"Who is it? When do we start?"

Lan Ke's words without hesitation surprised Shirou Emiya, who had also been struggling all the way and had a serious expression.

"Why don't you ask me who it is?"

"What's there to ask? I'm sure you wouldn't do anything rash, Shirou. Is there a reason?"

Lan Ke's unconditional trust made Emiya Shirou feel surprised and touched.

But he wasn't the type to cry, so he just pursed his lips and nodded before speaking again.

"Actually, I'm not sure if he needs to change his mind, so I'd like to ask you, Leader, to give me some advice."

"It's okay! Just tell me his name first, and then we can ask him directly!"

As Lan Ke spoke, he took out his cell phone. It was obvious that he would enter the name immediately as long as Shirou Emiya said it, but to his surprise, Shirou Emiya shook his head.

"I don't know the other person's name..."

"?"

As if realizing the problem in his words, Emiya Shirou took a deep breath and adjusted his emotions before speaking again.

"Actually this morning..."

Shirou Emiya briefly described Illya's reaction in the morning, and Lan Ke broke out in a cold sweat as he listened, because he unconsciously remembered 'that night' when Illya tried to kiss his mask forcibly.

So his first reaction was 'no'!

He told Shirou Emiya that this was just his wild imagination, but Lan Ke changed his mind and thought that this did not seem to be in line with his style, so he helped Shirou Emiya "give advice" with a serious face.

"It's quite difficult. After all, the principle of 'different-dimensional navigation' is to anchor the 'shadow' in the 'impression space' based on the 'name'. Without knowing the name, it is impossible to lock it..."

While showing a 'pity' expression, Lan Ke tried hard to comfort Shirou Emiya.

"But I remember Shirou, your sister is an elementary school student, right? Could it just be a joke between children?"

Listening to Lan Ke's comfort, Emiya Shirou's expression finally calmed down, and he even showed a bit of embarrassment on his face.

"Sorry to bother you so early in the morning, Narukami."

"What's our relationship? Why bother talking about this? I'll definitely help with your sister's...issues!"

Originally wanted to say "Your sister is my sister", but because he was worried that Emiya Shirou would be upset, Lan Ke changed his words temporarily. Emiya Shirou did not notice Lan Ke's strange turn of events. He just nodded with a smile and secretly sighed in his heart, "Although the Leader looks eccentric at ordinary times, he is always so trustworthy at critical moments."

However, Shirou Emiya, who had separated from Lan Ke, did not see Lan Ke's hand covering the phone, so he quietly moved it away, revealing the "pendant" underneath, whose shaking amplitude was gradually decreasing.

That's right! It's the 'Gem of Disaster'!

If it was said that when Shirou Emiya mentioned Illya before, Lan Ke was just a little skeptical, but when he took out his cell phone and saw the bell disguised as the "disaster gem" he hung on it as a pendant kept shaking, Lan Ke felt a "thump" in his heart.

If the previous worries might have been Lan Ke's "self-conceit", then the warning from the "Gem of Disaster" indirectly proved his thoughts.

While wiping the non-existent cold sweat off his forehead, Lan Ke secretly considered whether he should meet with Illya later to remind her to be careful not to let the cat out of the bag.

After all, if it were anyone else, there would be nothing they could do even if they knew that their sister liked the 'Phantom Thief of Hearts', but 'Illya' was an exception. After all, who told her that her brother was also a member of the 'Phantom Thieves of Hearts'?

If Illya lets the cat out of the bag, Shirou Emiya might come looking for him with a gun.

So this matter must be carefully planned! At least until he figures out how to prevent Shirou from turning evil and being able to listen to his explanation!

First of all, just in case, you can ask Shirou Emiya to come out and "kill monsters" together, and then wait for him to leave through the "impression space" before Lan Ke goes to see Illya. That way, Shirou Emiya should not be discovered, right?

Perhaps it was because of what Shirou Emiya said in the morning that Lan Ke felt nervous all day, afraid that Shirou Emiya would take out a "gem sword" and give him a kidney shot. This made him sneak a glance at his mobile phone from time to time... or the "disaster gem" on his mobile phone.

He was even criticized by Suzuki Sonoko for this, who suspected that this "pendant" was a gift from Lan Ke's "girlfriend".

This made Lan Ke not know how to explain it for a moment. After all, he couldn't explain how a cat could turn a "book" into a "gem", so he could only deny it.

Time passed quietly like this. Lan Ke did not see Shirou Emiya again today, but they had already made an appointment to "kill monsters" together in the evening.

Seeing that 'everything is ready except for the east wind', Lan Ke secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Lan Ke didn't expect that he would encounter unexpected trouble just after school.

First, Lan Ke met Busujima Saeko downstairs.

In the past, the 'Kendo Club' had suspended its activities, so when Busujima Saeko was not working as a 'Discipline Committee Member', she was no different from an ordinary student.

Perhaps because she was worried about Lan Ke's abdominal wound, she rushed to the first grade building today to wait for Lan Ke.

Kudo Shinichi, who was originally chatting and laughing with Lan Ke, suddenly showed an "ambiguous" smile on his face.

"Lan, let's go first!"

"Hey? Didn't you say Narukami-kun was injured, so we should take him home together?"

Ran Mouri, who had not yet reacted to what was happening, looked confused, but unexpectedly, Shinichi Kudo started to make faces in an instant.

"Don't worry, someone will take this guy back~"

Perhaps because they were familiar with each other, Kudo Shinichi described Lan Ke as "that guy" without hesitation, and Lan Ke almost couldn't help but tell him about how he helped the other party to get rid of Suzuki Sonoko, to see if the "washing machine" could be turned into a "kettle".

It was not until then that Mao Lilan realized that there was "Bujima Saeko".

"Senior?!"

It is obvious that when she is not in combat, Ran Mouri looks a little silly, while Busujima Saeko, with her schoolbag in both hands, nods at Ran Mouri and Kudo Shinichi with a smile on her face.

"Good evening, Mori-san and Kudo-san."

"Good evening, Senior!"

Compared to the somewhat silly and cute Ran Mouri, Shinichi Kudo directly serves the ball.

"Good evening, Senior. Are you here to take Ming Shanghe home?"

"That's right. Although Narukami seemed to have recovered well this morning, I didn't stop last night. His injuries are probably still quite serious, so I plan to send Narukami back."

Unlike the "cool" look when she was wearing a kendo uniform, Busujima Saeko, wearing a school uniform and carrying a schoolbag in both hands, looked like a Yamato Nadeshiko who walked out of a comic book.

Kudo Shinichi nodded decisively.

"In that case, I'll have to trouble you to take care of that kid Narukami! Xiaolan and I have something else to do, so we'll leave first!"

After saying that, he pulled Mao Lilan and prepared to run away, leaving Mao Lilan confused and seemingly not understanding what was going on.

Kudo Shinichi didn't explain, but just showed his teeth to Lan Ke and gave him a thumbs up.

An expression that said, "I can only help you so far!"

It is obvious that Kudo Shinichi wanted to repay the kindness of his wingman Lan Ke who had helped him before.

Lan Ke didn't know what to say for a moment, but he didn't say much. Anyway, he and Busujima Saeko had a good relationship, especially after more than a week of "sparring", the two sides were no longer just the initial simple "senior and junior" or "president and team member" relationship, but had really become friends.

As for gossip?

I'll find the other members of the 'Kendo Club' tomorrow and let them see the 'wounds' on their bodies. I guess the rumors will be almost gone.

After all, although Lan Ke didn't care, the wound on his abdomen looked horrifying enough. Everyone should understand why Busujima Saeko took care of Lan Ke.

By then, if Lan Ke can establish his image of "no woman in his heart, a natural god with a sword drawn", all problems will probably be solved.

But just as Lan Ke and Busujima Saeko were discussing kendo seriously and walking towards the gate, Lan Ke encountered unexpected "trouble".

"blue!!"

Looking at the girl with grass green highlights waving at him at the door, Lan Ke's originally stable emotions came to an abrupt halt.

Why is Jolyne here?!

In particular, Xu Lun's call made her, who was already extremely conspicuous, instantly attract everyone's attention, and also made Lan Ke, who was her target, instantly become the target of everyone's "attention".

In particular, some people widened their eyes when they saw Busujima Saeko.

Although Xu Lun's rather "rock" style is indeed contrary to the aesthetic taste of ordinary people, the body curves developed through years of exercise still make many boys with excess hormones unconsciously glance at Lan Ke out of the corner of their eyes.

When many people first saw the yellow hair on Lan Ke's head, although they cursed in their hearts, they had to admit that Lan Ke's appearance was quite consistent with their view of "Xu Lun's view on choosing a partner."

But when they saw Busujima Saeko, their eyes widened instantly!

A pretty girl from another school who looks wild, a famous kendo girl in the school, and a 'yellow-haired' guy who looks pretty good.

In an instant, whether out of anger or simply a desire to watch the show, almost everyone present fell silent and silently watched the three people.

Busujima Saeko was smiling as always.

When Jolyne saw Busujima Saeko, she was surprised at first, and then she actually showed a hint of aggression.

Only Lan Ke looked as if he didn't know what to say...

Chapter 45: Why is it ranked up again?!

The sudden confrontation between the two girls with completely opposite styles instantly attracted everyone's attention.

Lan Ke, who was caught in the middle, didn't know what to say for a moment.

After all, even in the 'Psychology' he had studied, there was no relevant information recorded.

If we have to judge by their relationships, Lan Ke and Busujima Saeko's relationship is undoubtedly better... Although I don't know why there is no 'Tarot'; but Jolyne is the daughter of Jotaro, who has always taken great care of him, not to mention that Lan Ke is not stupid, so he can naturally see that part of Jolyne's hostility towards Busujima Saeko comes from his own injury.

But just when Lan Ke was thinking about what to do, Busujima Saeko spoke first.

"I suppose this is the Miss Kujo that Narukami-kun mentioned?"

Jolyne, who had been prepared for a round of 'confrontation', was stunned at first when she heard Busujima Saeko's words, and then nodded instinctively.

"No?! How do you know it's mine?"

"After all, the last time Narukami-kun took leave was to celebrate Miss Kujo. How could I not remember it?"

After saying this with a smile, Busujima Saeko took out an unmarked dark glass bottle from her schoolbag and handed it to Jolyne.

"This is a homemade medicine from our dojo. It's very effective for bruises~"

"Since Miss Kujo is here to take you home, Narukami-kun, then I don't have to worry anymore. Although I know that you love kendo, Narukami-kun, it's better to rest well when you are injured."

After explaining to Xu Lun first and then giving instructions to Lan Ke, Busujima Saeko smiled at Xu Lun as if nothing had happened and walked towards the subway station.

It wasn't until Busujima Saeko left that Jolyne suddenly reacted.

She opened her mouth, holding the "medicine" in her hand, but didn't know what to say for a moment. The "fighting spirit" that had been activated for some reason just now had completely disappeared. Xu Lun felt as if she had punched cotton.

Although Xu Lun seemed to have won in the end, Lan Ke always felt that Xu Lun was being played around by the other party.

However, with the departure of Busujima Saeko, Lan Ke unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

But after delivering the gas, he seemed to realize that something was wrong?

Why does he need to send air?
