Anime, but the Phantom Thieves of Heart

"Boom!!!"

Accompanied by a roar louder than before, Shirou Emiya flew directly out of the hole that Lan Ke had initially destroyed and headed straight out of the window!

Under the bright moonlight, a group of people riding flaming motorcycles flew directly in the air.

The security personnel who hadn't reacted until this moment also hurriedly crowded to the window, looking at the scene in disbelief.

But what was even more unexpected to them was that the 'Soul Chariot' drew a line of fire in the air and actually landed directly on the roof of a much shorter building on the other side.

All this was just like what the two of them did in the 'hall'.

The only difference was that Lan Ke was holding a girl who was burning hot in his arms.

Perhaps it was because of 'practice makes perfect', compared to the excitement of the first time, although Emiya Shirou's breathing was a little heavier when he drove the 'Soul Chariot' to the edge of the building this time, his voice was surprisingly calm.

"Leader, what do we do next? Go to the hospital?"

Although there is a high probability that the other party will be caught if 'Lucy' is sent to the hospital, life is the most important thing at the moment, and everything else is fake.

But to his surprise, Lan Ke shook his head.

"No! Go to the 'cognitive world'!"

Although he didn't say anything, Shirou Emiya almost instinctively turned his head to look at Lan Ke.

After all, Lan Ke has emphasized the importance of the "cognitive world" more than once, so there is only one purpose for Lan Ke to do this!

"Leader, are you planning to recruit this 'Miss Lucy' into the team?"

Although he asked this question, Shirou Emiya had already started the motorcycle and rushed straight into the "other world" when Lan Ke activated the "different-dimensional navigation".

So his current question was more about satisfying his curiosity than asking.

Lan Ke, who had entered the 'cognitive world', was obviously more relaxed.

"Yes, after all, I did consider recruiting her at the beginning. After all, she possesses the 'intelligence ability' that we lack. At the same time, we have witnessed the other party's 'shadow' with our own eyes and confirmed that she is not from another faction. Moreover..."

"not to mention?"

"I don't think a guy who risks his own life just to prevent strangers who have nothing to do with him from getting hurt can be a bad person!"

While explaining to Shirou Emiya, Lan Ke also wiped his face.

Then a milky white kitten appeared behind Lan Ke.

"You actually came to me first, but my daughter will...huh?"

Parker was as unruly as ever. Every time she saw Lan Ke, she couldn't help but tease her. But today, as soon as she opened her mouth, she realized that something was wrong.

Without even needing Lan Ke's instructions, she placed her front paws on Lucy's head.

"Whether it's her or you, you're both lucky~"

Parker's words sounded a little strange, but Lan Ke still understood what he meant.

This "good luck" definitely does not refer to the fact that the other person is almost mature at this time, but refers to meeting the other person.

"Mr. Parker, can you fix this?"

"Isn't that why you came to me?"

Although he is not very reliable at ordinary times, Parker is more reliable than imagined when needed. While chatting with Lan Ke, he has already started to cool down Lucy.

Although Parker's most common attack method is ice, it is not simply an ice attribute. His real ability is temperature control, and ice is also created in this way.

It can be said that 'Parker's' ability is just right for dealing with the situation at hand.

Lan Ke also clearly felt that the temperature of 'Lucy' in his arms was gradually dropping, and seeing this, 'Parker' crossed his arms and nodded.

"Okay, let my daughter take care of the rest. After all, I'm better at 'destruction'."

"Excuse me, Mr. Parker."

"It's just a small matter, but remember to call me..."

Without waiting for Parker to continue teasing him, Lan Ke decisively switched his personality mask.

"Mr. Narukami?"

Compared to the shapeless Parker, 'Emilia' meets all of Lan Ke's beautiful imaginations of the 'Elf Princess'.

A slender body, a pretty face, thin wings behind it, and a lovely voice like a silver bell.

However, after she instinctively called Lan Ke's name, she immediately noticed Lucy in Lan Ke's arms.

She moved forward almost instinctively.

His face, which was originally full of bright smiles because of seeing Lan Ke, became serious.

"Who on earth injured this young lady so badly?"

Indeed, Emilia did not know medicine, but as a fairy, especially a fairy princess, she was born with a sense of life. Naturally, she could sense Lucy's weakness and the fact that her body seemed to be riddled with holes.

Then she looked at Lan Ke with expectant eyes, as if asking for permission from Lan Ke.

Lan Ke naturally nodded in response to this.

"Excuse me, Emilia~"

"Yes~Mr. Narukami~!"

After saying that, Emilia began to treat Lucy.

Looking at Emilia, who looked a little frail but serious, Lan Ke couldn't help but smile.

It is obvious that Lan Ke's appreciation for Emilia is not only for her appearance, but also for her kind heart.

As a 'secret treasure' born from desire, she is as pure and flawless as a lotus that 'rises from the mud without being stained'.

While Lan Ke and his team are doing their best to treat her, Lucy, who has nothing to do with her, is going through another trial.

After fully activating the 'chip' in her body and using its power to instantly overwhelm the computing power of the unknown system inside the 'Arasaka Building', she seized the right to use the 'security door' and opened it. Then, Lucy fell into a coma due to the high body temperature caused by the 'overload'.

This is actually a self-protection instinct of the body. After all, staying awake at this time is actually a torture.

But for Lucy, she just felt as if she had fallen into a bottomless abyss.

This abyss is surrounded by countless memories.

A naive and tender childhood, a childhood tempered by cruel reality, a youth full of hope but falling into the abyss, a fleeting warmth followed by a tense time of escape...

In my memory, people other than myself kept flashing and then disappearing.

She didn't know whether it was because her memory was too confused or because most of these people didn't stay with her for too long.

But as these memories faded further and further away, she almost instinctively reached out her hands to try to grab them.

But unfortunately, as she fell faster and faster, these memories gradually disappeared like stars covered by dark clouds.

And she felt more and more sleepy, until a voice suddenly rang out.

'Little ghost, are you still alive?'

The voice was not gentle, but even a little hoarse. She was obviously extremely tired, but she tried hard to open her eyes and stretched out her right hand again in front of her, as if she wanted to grab something that did not exist.

But what was different from before was that this time when she stretched out her hand, her right hand, which was raised to the highest point, did not fall down, but was instead directly hugged by someone.

It was as if half of the memory was reappearing.

She tried her best to open her eyes, and then she saw the face of a pretty girl.

What exactly is going on?

After waking up suddenly, Lucy's originally confused mind gradually calmed down, and she instinctively used the "chip" to try to calculate.

Until she saw a strange bird-beak mask.

Lucy reacted instantly.

That's right!

It was the Phantom Thieves of Hearts who saved me!!

Chapter 54 New Tarot!

Because she had just woken up, Lucy was still a little confused.

She looked at Emilia with some surprise, who was smiling.

"you are……"

Is the 'Phantom Thieves of Hearts' going to confront me?

Compared to Lucy who was filled with surprise, Emilia had a bright smile on her face.

"Miss, please don't move around. Although I have temporarily cured your body, you still need to rest."

"Oh……"

Compared to the coolness that Lan Ke usually showed during his morning run and the confidence he showed at home, Lucy at this moment was as alert and confused as a newborn deer.

But she still instinctively thanked Emilia.

"Excuse me, Miss Phantom Thief."

"Miss Phantom Thief?"

Emilia was so shocked that she covered her mouth with the front of her hand, and Lucy also realized that something was wrong.

She instinctively glanced at the 'bird-beak mask' beside her, and then spoke again.

"You're not a member of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts?"

Hearing this, Emilia thought about it doubtfully for a while before she smiled.

"I guess so, even though everything I own belongs to the Doctor."

Having said that, Emilia looked at Lan Ke with undisguised admiration.

For her, Lan Ke is the most important "friend" who helped her break the shackles that bound her for a hundred years and took her to a new world!

However, Lucy, who had no idea about the ins and outs between the two, obviously misunderstood something.

"The woman who led the Phantom Thieves of Hearts?"

"It seems that they are not executive personnel, but logistics personnel."

"As expected, the Phantom Thieves of Hearts are even larger than I imagined. They not only have excellent executives like the Doctor and Rider, but also support staff like the young lady just now."

But then she felt deeply guilty.

"I'm sorry to trouble you all."

Emilia was undoubtedly her savior, but she bit her lip unconsciously when she thought of the fact that this person, who was the 'logistics support staff of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts', had revealed his identity in order to save her.

Emilia looked confused, as if she didn't quite understand Lucy's reaction.

Instead, Lan Ke guessed the other party's thoughts, but because of this he was quite satisfied with the other party.

After all, someone who is willing to risk his life for someone who has nothing to do with him means that he is qualified to join the 'Phantom Thieves of Hearts'.

Just like Lan Ke's goal is to "heal the distorted society" and Emiya Shirou's goal is to "become a partner of justice", if the new member's values ​​are contrary to theirs, Lan Ke will not consider recruiting him no matter how outstanding he is.

And the intelligence shown by the other party at the moment is undoubtedly a bigger plus in Lan Ke's opinion.

Thinking of this, Lan Ke did not delay any longer and spoke again.

"Miss Lucy, are you feeling any discomfort? If so, it's better to just tell me. Emilia will heal you completely. After all, you were injured while helping us."

"No, everything is fine now. Besides, this is all I can do..."

Originally, Lucy had hoped to rely on her own 'chip' to destroy 'Arasaka', but now it seems that she thought too much. 'Arasaka' has a trump card that she is unaware of.

Thinking about it now, I was too naive back then.

After all, this 'chip' came from 'Johnny Silverhand', and according to the other party, this 'chip' was also installed in him by the 'Arasaka' researchers when he was undergoing the 'transformation experiment'.

It was just that the experiment failed unexpectedly, and he escaped with the chip after waking up.

This 'chip' is undoubtedly very important to Arasaka, but perhaps during this time they have also gained the ability to fight against it.

Unfortunately, she seemed to have forgotten this matter as she was blinded by hatred at the time.

Looking at Lucy's lost expression, Lan Ke suddenly stood up.

"boom!"
