Anime, but the Phantom Thieves of Heart

Didn’t you just say there were ‘thugs causing trouble’?

Why are these familiar-looking thugs lying on the ground?

It took less than five minutes from the time we received the notification to the time we arrived at the scene, but what exactly happened during those five minutes...

Chapter 26: Enthusiastic citizen Mr. Lan.

“Sizzle~!!”

A car stopped by the roadside almost in a drifting posture, and then a middle-aged man wearing beach sandals and a funny floral T-shirt was seen jogging to Mao Lilan's side.

"Lan!! Are you okay?!"

As he spoke, Kogoro Mouri twisted his head, trying to find the wounds on Mouri Ran's body that he didn't know were caused by Buddha.

This made Ran Mouri, who was originally a little angry because her father was not there at the critical moment, blush instantly.

"I'm fine~! Narukami-san took care of these people!"

Coincidentally, the police's questioning had ended at this time, and Kogoro Mouri hurried forward.

"Mr. Officer..."

Looking at Kogoro Mouri with a flattering smile on his face, the police officer in charge spoke directly without keeping anyone in suspense.

"Don't worry, my colleagues have already copied the 'video'. This case is very simple and clear. A group of idle people who were trying to cause trouble were taken down by a caring citizen."

Although almost everyone present knew about the feud between 'Yashiro Hideto' and 'Kujo Jotaro' which was the fuse of everything, the police obviously did not know about it.

In their view, whether it was Lan Ke or Kudo Shinichi, they were all tourists, and even foreign tourists like Polnareff. It was impossible for them to have any disputes with those yakuza people. In addition, Toshio Furukawa also made it clear that this group of people came to cause trouble because of himself and the "Yashiro Shipyard".

Everything is simple and clear.

Isn't that what a 'socially enthusiast' means?

However, the reason why the police were so ready to withdraw was not only because as locals of Izu they also hated the "Yashiro Shipyard", but also because in their opinion there were more people from the Yakuza. There were "three weak women" on Lan Ke's side, and there were five people in total including the store owner.

In this situation, Lan Ke was relatively restrained. The reason why the scene was so exaggerated was that the gang of Yakuza were too inexperienced. They were really inexperienced but loved to play.

However, what the other party didn't know was that when the other party had previously classified "Ran Mori" and "Jollen" as "weak women", many people who were familiar with the situation at the scene almost couldn't hold back their expressions.

But they were not the kind of people who would take advantage of others for granted, so they didn't mention it at all, with the attitude of trying to save trouble wherever possible.

As the police officers withdrew, Polnareff, who was holding the shoulder of Noriaki Kakyoin who was trying to say something, waved his hand to signal Lan Ke not to think too much and to comfort his friend first.

Although Kakyoin Noriaki looked helpless, he didn't say much.

"Kudo, Sonoko, and Mori-san, I'm sorry for getting you into this trouble."

"It's okay~ It's just a small matter, but you have to tell me what happened later."

"Yeah, we're all friends, don't be so formal. Besides, you must have your reasons for doing this, Narukami..."

Mao Lilan's tone was as gentle as ever. Just by looking at her appearance and voice, one would never guess that the other party was a "strong man" who could destroy telephone poles in one circle, but then she changed the subject.

"Also, Narukami-san, we've known each other for so long, why do you only use honorifics with me?"

Mao Lilan was not really angry, but she deliberately put on an aggressive expression, which made Lan Ke not know how to respond for a moment.

If he and Kudo Shinichi were just silly boys who naturally stopped using honorifics to address each other after becoming familiar with each other, then Suzuki Sonoko was just silly because the other was careless and carefree.

As for her?

Lan Ke instinctively glanced at Kudo Shinichi out of the corner of his eye.

Although it was just a very secretive action, it was still seen by several people present. Ran Mouri, who had been deliberately putting on an aggressive look, was instantly defeated. However, because she didn't want to be noticed by her old father, even though her cheeks were flushed, she still tried to restrain herself and just glared at Kudo Shinichi fiercely.

This left the other person confused and not knowing how to explain.

But precisely because they were involved, neither Kudo Shinichi nor Maori Ran noticed that Suzuki Sonoko, who was usually full of energy, seemed very quiet today.

However, just as the few of them were "interacting", Kudo Shinichi's cell phone suddenly rang, and it rang several times in a row.

"Shinichi, check your phone, is there something wrong?"

Mao Lilan stopped making trouble and reminded Kudo Shinichi, who also restrained his smile and took out his cell phone.

The first thing I saw was the message sent to me by Dr. Agasa.

"Kudo, have you noticed the news on TV?"

News on TV?

Mr. Kudo Shinichi would be stunned for a moment, then quickly pull down his phone.

As expected, before they paid attention to that group of thugs, their mobile phones had already pushed several messages.

"Excited! The Phantom Thieves of Hearts Reappear!"

They were almost all exaggerated titles, but Kudo Shinichi understood what the titles meant.

"The Phantom Thieves of Hearts have appeared again?!"

Kudo Shinichi's expression instantly turned ugly. After all, his first reaction was to rush back to Tokyo, but fortunately, he was not too paranoid at the moment. At least he knew that his father was just a non-staff member. Even if he knew it, he could not do anything if he was not invited.

He clicked on the news with extremely complicated emotions, but then his expression suddenly became interesting.

First of all, the 'Phantom Thieves of Hearts' did appear again, but this time no members of the 'Phantom Thieves of Hearts' were spotted. Instead, a large number of 'warning letters' were seen in the office of the president of 'Yashiro Shipyard'.

Looking at the time, it seems to be almost the same as theirs.

"So, while Lan Ke was teaching those 'thugs' a lesson, the 'Phantom Thieves of Hearts' also sent out a notice?"

However, while feeling grateful for the coincidence, Kudo Shinichi's reaction was also very simple. He suddenly looked up at Lan Ke.

Although the sentence is correct, the meaning is very clear.

'Come with me!'

Although Lan Ke didn't look at Kudo Shinichi's phone, he guessed something from the other party's reaction. After all, he was the one who gave the order.

Originally, according to Lan Ke's plan, he should have sent out the notice letter in the evening and then dealt with the "Eighth Generation British" the next day.

But because the other party was asking for death, Lan Ke simply moved the plan forward.

After the impulse, Lan Ke also tried to maximize the benefits and simply decided not to appear as 'Doctor' this time. After all, he had tried it last night. The difficulty of the hall this time was not high. With Shirou Emiya to back him up, it was just right for Lucy and Busujima Saeko to practice.

He followed Kudo Shinichi as 'Watson', doing two things at the same time while continuing to consolidate his 'disguise'.

However, before leaving, Lan Ke had one thing he had to deal with.

That was Jotaro Kujo, who also received a call, but was not as hurried as Kogoro Mouri. Instead, he appeared in Lan Ke's sight by driving his own car.

Even though the other party was just one person, it still felt oppressive...

Chapter 27 'Elders'

Because the weather in Izu is quite hot, even Jotaro Kujo did not wear his favorite purple windbreaker, but instead wore a white T-shirt and a white baseball cap.

"Bang~"

The sound of the car door closing unconsciously attracted everyone's attention.

However, the other party did not go directly to Lan Ke, but went straight to the police. The police officer in charge couldn't help swallowing his saliva when he saw it. After all, it was obvious that Jotaro Kujo was in a bad mood from his silent look, and his T-shirt that seemed to be stretched at the cuffs gave people a very oppressive feeling.

"what happened?"

It was clearly just an ordinary sentence, but the police officer felt as if his superior was questioning his family. After swallowing, he almost instinctively summarized the matter in the shortest words.

During this period, Jotaro Kujo did not say a word. Only after the other party finished speaking did he cross his arms and nodded, and walked towards Lan Ke.

Unlike Kogoro Mori who showed his emotions on his face, Jotaro Kujo just glanced at Lan Ke and asked calmly.

"You're not hurt, are you?"

It was just a simple question, but Lan Ke still felt a little guilty after nodding.

It's strange to say, although the two of them are actually about the same age and have only been in this world for more than a month, for some reason when facing each other, they always feel like they are facing their elders at home.

Seeing this, Jotaro Kujo didn't say much and walked towards Toshio Furukawa.

It was obvious that he was very clear that everything that happened today was caused by him, so he planned to discuss with the other party how to deal with the matter.

It was not until then that Lan Ke finally couldn't help but speak.

"Mr. Kujo..."

"?"

"Aren't you angry?"

Following Lan Ke's question, a rare hint of surprise appeared on Jotaro Kujo's usually expressionless face.

"Angry? Why should I be angry? Is it just because you did the right thing? No one should be condemned for doing the right thing. As long as you do the right thing, I will always support you!"

After he finished speaking, he probably felt that Lan Ke had "killed" so many people anyway, and if he continued, Lan Ke might misjudge that he "supported him in doing so", so he added more.

"If you were still as reckless as before, I might have to criticize you. After all, you're still young and allowed to fail, but you can't keep falling into the same trap. This time... you did well."

It's a pity that just as he was about to teach a lesson, Jotaro Kujo unconsciously turned it into a compliment.

Worried that he would exaggerate more, Jotaro Kujo simply walked straight towards Toshio Furukawa, leaving Lan Ke standing there, feeling a little at a loss.

Until this moment, Xu Lun, who had been watching from the side since the beginning, also came over and couldn't help but complain in a low voice.

"That guy is like that, always saying things that spoil the fun, even compliments are so awkward."

Facing Xu Lun who stood up for him, Lan Ke smiled and shook his head.

"You can't say that. After all, this is Mr. Jotaro's style. If one day Mr. Jotaro suddenly starts praising me for no reason, I might be shocked..."

Looking at Lan Ke who was defending Jotaro Kujo, Jolyne couldn't help but curl her lips.

Who is Jotaro's child?

You might as well just be the other person's son! !

Lan Ke could clearly feel some of Xu Lun's little emotions, but he didn't say much.

After all, there can be said to be a long-standing grudge between Jolyne and Jotaro, and she basically looks at Jotaro with tinted glasses. At least from Lan Ke's perspective as an adult, there is nothing wrong with saying this.

Jotaro didn't notice the little interaction between Lan Ke and Jolyne behind him. After all, although it felt a little subtle occasionally, he had to admit that he trusted Lan Ke from the bottom of his heart.

"Senior Kotegawa, I'm sorry to have caused you trouble."

Unlike in front of other people, Lan Ke is closer to Toshio Furukawa in private, and Toshio Furukawa waved his hand in a very generous manner.

"It's okay~ Or rather, I should thank the young man from your family, Ming Shang. If it weren't for him, my old bones might have been injured..."

Although Toshio Furukawa is nearly 50 years old and still maintains a good figure, it is undeniable that he cannot guarantee that he will not get hurt when facing so many people, not to mention that his daughters are around him. Once he takes action, who knows if they will get hurt.

When Toshio Furukawa mentioned "your boy", Jotaro Kujo did not deny it, but just nodded.

"Although it's unlikely that the Eighth Generation Shipyard will be relocated, since that guy didn't follow the rules this time, I'm going to teach him a lesson!"

In fact, Jotaro Kujo was also considering how to protect Toshio Furukawa and others from being affected, but he didn't expect that Hideto Yasiro would react so violently. There was just friction yesterday, and today he sent people to cause trouble directly.

In his impression, although the eighth generation Yingren guy is ambitious, he is not a brainless person.

This time the reaction was strange in every way.

But no matter what the reason is, since the other party has crossed the line first, he will not be polite.

The first step is to use these captured people to bite the other side hard, so that the other side is caught off guard, and it will be easier for them to organize a parade tomorrow.

However, when he was calling his contact, his originally serious expression suddenly became a little strange.

Seeing this, Toshio Furukawa, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"what happened?"

"I just contacted my secretary, and he told me that 'Yashiro Hideto' received a 'warning letter' from the 'Phantom Thieves of Hearts'."

Toshio Furukawa, who lives in Izu and rarely pays attention to the news, was confused and seemed to have no idea what Lan Ke was talking about.

The situation was similar for Ju Ryujiro and Tokita Shinji. Besides the diving club, they both had to focus on their studies and graduation, so they had no time to read gossip news. They just felt that it sounded familiar.

On the contrary, Kitahara Iori and Imamura Kohei on the side suddenly widened their eyes.

"The Phantom Thieves of Hearts?! That guy is finished!!"

"Ohhhh!! A Phantom Thief?! I have to go see 'The Legendary Floral Short Skirt and Midriff-Baring T-Shirt' live!!"

"???"
