Anime, but the Phantom Thieves of Heart

It can't be——

"Senior, you are not asking Xu Lun..."

Lan Ke had an expression that said 'You're so brave', and Kitahara Iori shuddered almost instinctively.

"Of course not! I'm not that Kohei guy!"

While saying this, Kitahara Iori almost instinctively glanced at Chisa Furutegawa who was explaining to Jolyne.

Although it was retracted in just a moment, Lan Ke keenly noticed something unusual, and the corners of Lan Ke's mouth suddenly curled up slightly.

Kitahara Iori's heart skipped a beat when he saw this scene.

Because Lan Ke’s smile looked so familiar to him!

As expected, almost at the same time as he had a bad premonition, Lan Ke also lowered his voice.

"Kitahara-senpai, you don't want Kotegawa-senpai to know that you have feelings for her, right?"

Lan Ke's whispering voice like a devil's whisper sounded in Kitahara Iori's ears. He almost instinctively wanted to deny it, but looking at Lan Ke with a smile on his face, he found that he couldn't open his mouth no matter what.

Unlike when he just tried to cheat Lan Ke, Kitahara Iori could be sure that Lan Ke was obviously determined about this matter!

Cold sweat kept dripping from his forehead, and Kitahara Iori unconsciously lowered his voice.

"What do you want to do? As long as you don't tell anyone, I will give you all my treasured 'OV'!"

Hearing Kitahara Iori's trembling voice, Lan Ke was stunned.

What the hell does he want this thing for?!

Lan Ke, who originally just wanted to play a prank because the other party suddenly mentioned Xu Lun, couldn't help but feel uncomfortable after hearing what the other party said.

But fortunately, I managed to hold back in the end.

"Perhaps I can help you, Senior..."

"?"

Looking at Kitahara Iori with wide eyes, Lan Ke spoke again.

"I'm referring to the matter between you and Furukawa-senpai..."

Although he is often unreliable, Kitahara Iori, who is quite reliable when it comes to serious matters, seems to have finally realized it.

"What do you want to do? I'm just an ordinary college student..."

"It's simple. I want information on 'Jotaro-san'! That store manager and your two seniors seem to be quite familiar with Jotaro-san, right?"

Finally, Lan Ke's true intentions were revealed...

Chapter 15 As the old saying goes—

It is obvious that in order to resolve the knot between Jolyne and Jotaro, Lan Ke has been trying to collect information, but unfortunately, there is no private information about Jotaro, his wife or daughter on the Internet.

So he had planned to gather intelligence with the help of 'Toshio Furukawa' who seemed to have known Jotaro Kujo for many years.

As for why he suddenly "threatened" Kitahara Iori?

Maybe it’s because the other party just bumped into the muzzle of the gun?

After all, it can't be that I was just daydreaming, right?

After hearing what Lan Ke said, Kitahara Iori was stunned for a moment. After all, he didn't expect that Lan Ke's request would be this. Without waiting for him to answer, Lan Ke spoke again.

"How about this deal?"

"senior……"

Facts have proved that Lan Ke understands human hearts very well.

Simple threats might be able to obtain intelligence, but how much useful intelligence can be obtained depends on chance. However, as long as you can provide something that the other party is interested in and increase their "subjective initiative", then things will be easier.

But - Lan Ke only understood the "human heart" of normal people.

After hearing what Lan Ke said, Kitahara Iori fell into deep thought. However, unlike what Lan Ke imagined, Kitahara Iori was not thinking about "YES/NO" at this time, but "What is the other party trying to achieve by giving such good conditions when they are clearly in an advantageous position?"

Is this matter important?

It’s not important but also important.

It didn't matter because if the person Lan Ke wanted to investigate had nothing to do with him, Kitahara Iori wouldn't bother to care, not to mention that Nanaka-nee and even Chisa seemed to have a good relationship with that 'handsome professor'...

As for the more important question, why did Lan Ke do this? Looking at the smile on Lan Ke's face, and remembering his previous expression of indifference towards Nanaka, Kitahara Iori felt a chill running down his feet, and he shuddered unconsciously.

Oh no! Could it be that XP isn't a girl at all?!

Wouldn't that put me in danger too?!

If he wasn't worried about causing unnecessary trouble due to the noise, Kitahara Iori would almost instinctively want to escape from Lan Ke, but his final rationality forced him to calm down!

wrong!

Maybe the situation isn't that bad!

First of all, it was said that 'GOY' also had his own aesthetic sense, and the aesthetic sense of this man before him...

Kitahara Iori couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after taking a look at Jotaro Kujo, who was 195cm tall and had arms thicker than his thighs, and then looked at the two senior employees outside the window who were helping customers move oxygen tanks.

Not bad~ Not bad~

If the other party really takes action, then I probably won’t be the ‘first victim’!

And if you think about it carefully, even if the other party really changed his taste, then that guy Imamura Kohei should have been chosen first, right?

He seemed to remember reading this sentence before: When being chased by a tiger, you don't actually need to run faster than the tiger, you just need to run faster than your companions!

Maybe I am safer than I thought! !

Thinking of this, Kitahara Iori's originally rapid breathing gradually calmed down, and he even unconsciously smiled.

That's right!

Anyway, they are just two seniors who like "nudism" and a otaku who probably will never need the job below in his life and only shouts "I want to start a JK harem" all day long. They only need to sacrifice themselves to get "happiness". Isn't this a good deal?

Thinking of this, Kitahara Iori stretched out his right hand towards Lan Ke.

"make a deal!"

Perhaps because he had changed from a "prey" to an "accomplice", Kitahara Iori seemed to relax a lot, and even smiled at Imamura Kohei who was covering for him.

Imamura Kohei was confused and was stunned for a moment. He seemed unable to understand the meaning of the smile for a short time.

But looking at Kitahara Iori's expression, it should have been resolved, right?

Could it be that I just made a mistake?

Do not!

My intuition is definitely right!

It’s just that the other party’s "talent" or "gift" has not yet blossomed and borne fruit!

In other words... they prevented the birth of a 'real person'?

Thinking of this, Kohei Imamura instantly felt refreshed.

After all, sometimes other people's success is more unforgettable than your own failure.

This is the only thing in the world that can make him feel so happy from the bottom of his heart, except for changing into a new pair of panties after taking a shower after a hangover.

Kitahara Iori and Imamura Kohei seemed to have gotten what they wanted, but Lan Ke fell into silence.

The 'deal' with Kitahara Iori was indeed for the 'Kujo father and daughter', but it was also a test for Lan Ke.

"It seems obtaining Tarot cards in this world is more difficult than expected..."

But just as Lan Ke lowered his head in deep thought, there was a commotion outside 'Grand Blue'.

"?"

Because of the commotion, everyone in the room unconsciously stopped what they were doing, and then they heard the voice of Shou Longjiro.

"Sorry, sir, it's not yet the opening hours of 'Grand Blue'..."

Although Shou Longjiro spoke very politely, it was obvious that his voice sounded a little forced.

It’s a pity that the other party didn’t seem to hear it... or even if he heard it, he didn’t intend to care.

"I'm just a part-time worker, don't get in the way, get out of the way!"

"Bang~"

The door of 'Grand Blue' was violently pushed open, and a middle-aged man in a white T-shirt and pink shorts walked in, followed closely by four bodyguards, who separated him from Ju Ryujiro and Tokita Shinji.

It was obvious that they had tried to stop the intruder, but it seemed difficult to stop the other party without causing physical conflict.

Although he was clearly an intruder, he looked around the house as if it were his own home, then turned to look at Lan Ke.

After all, Lan Ke’s hair color is so iconic that it’s almost impossible to forget it once you’ve seen it.

"Do you know where 'Professor Kujo' went?"

At first glance, it seemed like just a simple inquiry, but the other party's attitude at this time did not seem like a normal request for directions, but rather like a "reward".

This made Lan Ke frown slightly.

However, he still suppressed his anger and spoke.

"Mr. Kujo is not here. If you are looking for him, then I'm afraid you have come to the wrong place."

It's not that Lan Ke's personality is really that good, it's simply because the other party has been put on his "Death Note". This guy will change his mind sooner or later. If a conflict breaks out now, he might become a suspect of the police again. He doesn't want to cause trouble for himself.

But the other party pulled out a chair and sat down very naturally.

"In that case, please give Professor Kujo a call and tell him I'm here. I believe he'd be willing to come..."

Looking at the arrogant other party, Lan Ke couldn't help but have a question in his mind.

How stubborn is the other person? Is he even stubborner than a 'lover'?

Chapter 16: Do you want to come to Italy and experience my 'passion'?

Yashiro Hideto's attitude at this time was not arrogant, but his arrogance was evident.

But he has the qualifications to be arrogant, not only because he is now the president of "Yashiro Shipyard" and the designated next "helmsman of the Yashiro Group", but also because his last name was not "Yashiro" in the past.

That's right, Yasashi Hideto married into the Yasashi family, but he didn't care about his birthplace. After all, it was his ability that made him be noticed by the 'Yashishi Group'. When the day comes when he truly controls the 'Yashishi Group', he can change his name. What's the harm?

Now he is only in middle age, his career is booming, and the old man above him is still unknown how long he can live. He doesn't know when he will be able to welcome two of the "three major joys of middle age". As such, he is naturally full of superiority when facing a few "ordinary people".

As for the fact that he was once one of them?

Ha~

When he left there, she had nothing to do with it anymore.

Or maybe he hopes to completely destroy those things that represent his 'black history'!

But at this moment, a somewhat vicissitudes of life voice suddenly came.

"whats the matter?"

I saw 'Toshio Kotegawa' wearing an apron and looking puzzled as he walked out from the kitchen.

Since he had promised to treat Lan Ke and the others to a "big meal", he naturally had to prepare it well. He didn't expect that he would hear a noise not long after he entered the kitchen after his nap.

On the other hand, Shou Longjiro and Tokita Shinji instinctively let out a breath.

Of course, they didn't know someone like Yashiro Hideto, but from his posture, they could tell that he was an extraordinary person. Although the two of them seemed unreliable, they were not really stupid. They knew when not to cause trouble for Boss Kotegawa. Now that the boss was here, they could naturally shirk their responsibility.

When Yashiro Hideto saw Toshio Furukawa, he instinctively frowned slightly. After all, the other party's dark skin and gray hair reminded him of bad memories. It was also because of this that his tone unconsciously became imperative.

"Are you the boss here? You should know Professor Kujo, right? Please help me contact him."

Looking at the imposing and noble Yasiro Hideto, Toshio Furukawa was a little annoyed, but as a businessman, he had encountered all kinds of customers. He still tried to confirm it with a smile.

"Professor Kujo? Excuse me, are you…"

In response to Toshio Furukawa's question, Hideto Yasiro was too lazy to even respond. He nodded to his subordinates beside him, and the other party handed a business card to Toshio Furukawa.

After taking the business card, Toshio Furukawa looked at it and read the words on it word by word.

"Yashiro Hideto, President and Chief Designer of Yashiro Shipyard?"
