Anime, but the Phantom Thieves of Heart

He quickly grabbed the blue school uniform hanging nearby, put it on, picked up the schoolbag he had prepared on the way back yesterday, climbed down the wooden stairs, and then smelled the aroma of wheat.

Lan Ke, clutching his schoolbag, couldn't help but take a look inside the restaurant as he passed by.

As expected, he saw Jotaro Kujo holding a cup of coffee and flipping through a tablet, and then he stopped.

After all, no matter how busy he is, he still needs to maintain a certain degree of etiquette when facing the host of his host family. What's more, he still has some money on him, so he can just take a taxi if he really can't afford it.

Jotaro Kujo, who also discovered Lan Ke, immediately put down the tablet in his hand.

"Your breakfast will be ready in five minutes. I had planned to call you when it was almost ready, but it looks like you slept pretty well last night."

Did you sleep well?

Of course it’s good. I went to bed around 8 o’clock last night and slept until 8 o’clock in the morning, which is almost 12 hours. How can it be bad?

"Sorry to bother you, Mr. Kujo, but I'm worried I'll be late, so I'll eat on the way..."

Faced with Lan Ke's explanation, Jotaro Kujo couldn't help but reveal a puzzled expression. You know, he also graduated from Teitan High School.

"Did Teitan High School change its schedule?"

"?"

Looking at Lan Ke's somewhat silly expression, Jotaro Kujo didn't care too much, or perhaps the maturity shown by Lan Ke yesterday made him full of pity.

After all, I was not as sensible as him when I was his age, and he, as the child of my benefactor, lost his parents and all his family members at a young age. It seems that he can only rely on himself.

Then he began to explain.

"The first class at Teitan High School is at 9:00. As a transfer student, you need to go to the office to see your homeroom teacher a little early, but this time is definitely enough..."

As he spoke, he pushed a small bag towards Lan Ke.

"Here are your 'tickets', 'meal cards', and 'pocket money'. For lunch, you can try the Teitan cafeteria; it's quite good."

"As for the rest, you can buy whatever you want. I don't know what kind of decoration you like, so I only prepared some basic furniture for you."

Although Jotaro Kujo's voice was not gentle, it could even be said to be oppressive due to his height and serious tone.

But Lan Ke, who hadn't felt such inexplicable tenderness for almost 20 years, seemed a little at a loss for a moment.

In the end, he just said "thank you" in a panic and fled from the Kujo family.

Looking at Lan Ke's flustered back, he, who always had a stern face, lowered his head and thought for a while, as if he had guessed something, and finally let out a helpless sigh.

I just don't know whether he is lamenting his escape from his rough childhood, or lamenting his own actions...

Chapter 5 This is not popcorn!

Unlike the trip to Beikacho yesterday afternoon, even though it was not like going to Shinjuku, this train trip from Beikacho still made Lan Ke realize that Tokyo's rush hour is indeed not in vain.

At this time, he even had the idea of ​​"just buying a bicycle".

"It's a good opportunity to exercise."

It is obvious that Lan Ke, who aspires to be a "Phantom Thief", is very aware of the importance of physical fitness. In his previous life, he almost coughed out his lungs after running 2000 meters. In this life, as a "Phantom Thief", if he is chased by the police and cannot run, even if he can escape afterwards, his "Phantom Thief Career" will basically be over.

However, Lan Ke instinctively touched the "ticket" in his chest pocket and decided to talk about this matter later.

Although the tram during the morning rush hour was a bit noisy, it was still relatively calm. At least I didn't encounter any so-called "characteristics" such as "train wolf" or something like that.

Being bored, he simply took out his cell phone and started reading the news.

It's not that he cares much about society, but he is looking for a 'goal'.

Since Lan Ke intends to become a 'Phantom Thief', then what is the 'target' to steal?

What surprised him was that the headline was "Hokkaido Fire"?

"It's unbelievable that not many presidents died."

Thinking of the various presidents who died in various ways on the Conan set, Lan Ke became deeply suspicious and always felt that something was wrong.

"Could it be that because natural disasters are so severe and murders are so common, they were put on the back burner?"

Lan Ke continued, and then there was the news that 'a councillor was found to have embezzled public funds and had to step down and apologize'.

Then there are the idol gossips...

Until he got off the car, Lan Ke had an expression full of self-doubt.

Is this still the 'Rice Flower' he remembers?

Fortunately, he soon stopped thinking about it because he found that the situation at Teitan High School was not what he had imagined.

In his memory, when he was in high school, apart from students like himself, only those who did not do their homework and came to school to copy would show up early. If the roll call started at 9 o'clock, it was rare to have 30% of the people in the school at 8:30.

But today's Teidan was unexpectedly lively.

When I got off the bus, I saw several students wearing Teitan High School uniforms coming out of almost every car. When I arrived at the outskirts of the school, I saw a full playground. It was obvious that the members of the sports club came to the school early in the morning to participate in training.

Obviously, Lan Ke didn't seem to realize that the slogan of 'Teitan High School' that took him in was not shouted in vain.

The deviation value of Teitan High School may not be the highest (schools with higher deviation values ​​have higher admission rates), but because of its free and open teaching philosophy, it has attracted talented students from almost all fields, especially those who are talented in certain subjects.

Because here they can give full play to their talents, which naturally includes students with various sports specialties. The Karate Club and Kendo Club of Teitan High School often win trophies in various national competitions, and the football club's performance this year is also very good.

Although there are some people who just want to get by, it is obvious that the members who join the sports club are basically full of enthusiasm.

Even through the railings, Lan Ke could hear slogans like "Inherit the glory of our predecessors, come on, run three more laps" and "The goal this time is the National Conference."

But just as he was lamenting his student days filled with endless papers, a female voice suddenly interrupted his wandering thoughts.

"classmate."

"?"

Because it was his first day at school, theoretically no one should know him, so Lan Ke was a little surprised at this time, but he was even more surprised when he saw the other person's face.

The purple-haired woman, who was as tall as him and had a proud and attractive figure, was looking at him with a slightly serious expression.

"Your tie is too loose. Please tidy up your appearance before entering the school. Also, which first-grade class are you in?"

What surprised Lan Ke was not the other person's seriousness, but the other person's face. He felt that he looked familiar, but he couldn't tell exactly where he looked familiar.

Considering that he had already met 'Jotaro Kujo', 'Taihe Fujimura', and 'Yomika Town', Lan Ke suspected that the other party was also a character in an ACG work. However, he had been away from home for too long, and there was a big difference between real people and paper people, so he instinctively tried to find out.

"Senior, have we met somewhere before?"

"Pfft~"

As Lan Ke started to speak, a boy wearing glasses standing behind him couldn't help but cover his mouth, but unfortunately even so he couldn't suppress his laughter.

Hearing the laughter behind her, the woman frowned slightly, and the other party quickly adjusted his expression and coughed lightly.

"Hey~ Junior, your way of chatting people up is so retro."

It was more of a complaint than a lesson, and Lan Ke quickly waved his hands.

"No! I'm not flirting! I just think she looks familiar. I just transferred here and I've never worn a tie before..."

Although he had a good income in his previous life, he was single until he was almost 40. This was not only because of social reasons that made him full of fear of the opposite sex, but also because he was not good at dealing with the opposite sex.

Compared to a girl whose thoughts are hard to guess, isn't the 2D 'wife' more attractive?

Seeing Lan Ke trying hard to straighten his tie but still looking weird, the purple-haired woman who had been frowning slightly stopped frowning and walked forward to help Lan Ke straighten his collar, especially the loose tie.

"It seems that your original school didn't have the habit of wearing a tie. But since you've transferred to Teitan, you should get familiar with it as soon as possible. However, since this is your first transfer, I won't record it. Show me your student ID and I'll check it."

Looking at the discipline committee member in front of him who was meticulous but gentle, Lan Ke breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he had never studied in Japan, there was no shortage of "disciplinary committee members" in ACG works. Once such characters targeted the protagonist, they would often cause a lot of trouble. Lan Ke didn't want to cause trouble for himself.

But unfortunately, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he suddenly felt his neck tighten. Only then did Busujima Saeko let go of her hand.

"It's true that tying a tie for the first time can be a bit troublesome, but since you've already transferred, you should have taken note of these things in advance..."

While adjusting his neck which felt a little constricted, he took out his student ID from his bag and handed it to the other party. However, looking at the serious Busujima Saeko, he couldn't even tell for a moment whether the other party didn't notice or was deliberately taking this opportunity to teach him a lesson.

匌○弌弍②ノ╲⒊澪⒐ba

But what he didn't expect was that after the other party saw his student ID card, he couldn't help but mutter something under his breath.

"A student of Mr. Fujimura?"

Then he nodded silently and returned the student ID to Lan Ke, indicating that the other party could go in.

Although he felt something was wrong, Lan Ke still quickened his pace and walked towards the office on the first floor.

Unlike the empty office after school yesterday, the office was a little lively at this time. Some teachers were chatting with each other, and some teachers seemed to be saying something to students. Lan Ke, who appeared in the office with a schoolbag on his back, did not seem out of place.

The report went very smoothly. Fujimura Taiga said that there would be a 15-minute class meeting before the first class, and she would help Lan Ke give a brief introduction. However, when Lan Ke mentioned the discipline committee member at the door, Fujimura Taiga immediately showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.

"You're talking about Busujima! It's no surprise you've seen her, after all. Busujima is a regular at national competitions, having won silver in the women's individual division in her first year. She's a nationally renowned 'Kendo Beauty'. By the way, you seem to have a nice figure, Narukami-san. Are you interested in joining the Kendo Club? Joining the Kendo Club gives you the opportunity to receive personal instruction from Busujima~"

Although the full name was not mentioned, Lan Ke finally remembered what his "sense of familiarity" was. It turned out to be that "Bujima Saeko"!

In the era before he retired from staying at home, the other party was a well-known figure. Even after so many years, he was still impressed by him. However, the subtle difference between the paper man and the real one, coupled with the school uniform, made him only realize it now.

But then, Lan Ke became even more confused. Why was Fujimura Taiga so enthusiastic?

Unaware that Lan Ke was looking at him with increasingly strange eyes, Fujimura Taiga proudly raised his thumb and pointed at himself.

"I'm the instructor of the Kendo Club. I'll be there for you when you get here!"

The answer was finally revealed, but the other party's bossy look always made people feel like she was joining some weird club rather than a kendo club.

"I will think about it."

Because she planned to become a "Phantom Thief", Lan Ke was not sure whether she had time to participate in the club training, so she did not agree directly. Fujimura Taiga was obviously a little disappointed about this. After all, she was really optimistic about Lan Ke.

With Jotaro Kujo's guarantee, she naturally believed in Lan Ke's character, but the fact that he was able to beat all of the thugs into the hospital while being besieged by several of them was enough to show that Lan Ke had good physical fitness.

Compared to the women's kendo club which has Saeko Busujima as its "pillar", the men's kendo club has not performed well this summer as the third-year students have left the club due to promotion and enrollment, the second-year students are of average strength, and the first-year students have not recruited any good players. She is eager to recruit a good player for the men's team of the kendo club.

But before Fujimura Taiga could continue to promote her, a student walked straight towards her and she had to stop. Seeing this, Lan Ke simply took out her textbook and started reading.

Because he was so focused, he didn't even notice that there were fewer and fewer students and teachers in the office, until——

“Ding~Ding~”

As a bell rang, Lan Ke and Fujimura Taiga raised their heads together.

Fortunately, the office is close enough to Class 1-B, so Fujimura Taiga was not in a hurry at all. Instead, he gestured to Lan Ke to wait for him at the door.

"Good morning everyone!!"

Even through the door, Lan Ke could hear the energetic voice of Fujimura Taiga inside the door. After briefly talking about some class affairs, the other party quickly changed the topic to Lan Ke.

"Oh, I almost forgot, there will be a new student joining our class today..."

Because we had been talking about class affairs before, it was obvious that no one expected the sudden turn. Many people showed curious expressions. After all, transfer students are rare, especially at this time.

But even if it's curiosity, it's obvious that it can be divided into several categories.

The loudest voices were those asking "Is it a boy or a girl?", and the most active one came from a brown-haired girl who had just finished reading a girls' manga the night before.

Facing the noisy students, Fujimura Taiga tapped the table with his lecture notes to control the situation before speaking again.

"It's a boy~ Okay, let him introduce himself for the rest! Come in!"

Following Fujimura Taiga's call, Lan Ke, who was standing outside the door, opened the front door of Class 1-B.

Although Lan Ke, who is 175cm tall, is taller than the average height of this era, it is not too obvious. His face, which seems to be the product of Lan Ke himself and the female version of the protagonist of P5 in his previous life, is pretty good, but his rating has dropped a lot because of the big black-framed glasses. What really attracts attention is his golden highlighted hair that looks like a failed dyeing.

After all, even though Lan Ke had seen many people with unusual hair color along the way, they were still much less conspicuous than him. At least their hair looked natural.

Although suddenly facing the attention of more than 30 people in a class would indeed bring a lot of pressure to people, it was still not as bad as the various meetings he had attended in his previous life. Lan Ke had already adjusted his mood.

"Hello everyone, I'm Ming Shanglan, and I hope to get along well with you all in the days to come."

As Lan Ke finished speaking, the whole class fell into silence. Although he did not feel that the gazes of more than thirty classmates were more irritating than the gazes of a group of senior experts during the thesis review, he was obviously not used to the feeling of no feedback and instinctively glanced at Fujimura Taiga.

However, there seemed to be no tacit understanding between Fujimura Taiga and Lan Ke. She looked encouraging but didn't understand what Lan Ke meant by asking for help.

Fortunately, at this moment, footsteps were heard outside the door.

It was obvious that the class meeting was about to end and the first class was about to begin.

Fujimura Taiga then hurriedly spoke.

"Anyway, Narukami-san, please take the empty seat in the last row. If anyone has any questions, please ask them after class~"

After saying that, she said hello to the teacher outside the door and trotted out of the classroom.

Looking at the energetic back of the head teacher, Lan Ke felt somewhat helpless and sighed, "It turns out that the seat reserved for the protagonist is not so easy to vacate," and then sat directly on the only remaining seat.
