Anime, but the Phantom Thieves of Heart

It can make people understand what you mean without making them feel embarrassed.

Looking at Busujima Saeko with a gentle smile on her face, Lan Ke really couldn't connect her with the battle maniac in the "Impression Space" who kept saying "Let's have a life-and-death duel".

However, Lan Ke knew very well that it was indeed the other party.

It is even possible that this situation occurs because the other party is suppressing it too hard, just like a spring, the tighter you compress it, the higher it bounces.

But at the same time, Lan Ke also knew that was not all the other party had.

It was as if there was a deep, unhealable scar in his heart.

The reason why we are human beings is that we can use "rationality" to control "emotionality".

But at the same time, once one loses the control of "reason" and becomes a complete slave to desire, then there is no difference between one and a beast.

Only when the two are combined into one can one be a complete person.

Perhaps because Lan Ke forgot to look away while thinking, Busujima Saeko's voice suddenly stopped halfway through the topic of food, and then she looked at Lan Ke with a somewhat strange look.

"Just now... was I talking too much to myself?"

"Yes, of course! After all, I might end up working nearby someday, so maybe I'll be able to use it then."

It is impossible for me to work, it is impossible for me to work for the rest of my life!

At most, I can just do some work as a thief to make a living.

However, he had previously thought that it was impossible to say it out loud, so he found a relatively normal reason.

Busujima Saeko didn't care too much about this. After all, she was already used to being the focus of everyone's attention. Moreover, although she didn't have the natural "intuition" like Leticia, as a byproduct of practicing kendo, she was very sensitive to other people's hostility, malice and gazes.

Since she didn't feel any strange feeling from Lan Ke, she naturally didn't care.

Lan Ke, who didn't know any of this, had to take the initiative to try to change the subject in order to prevent Saeko Busujima from becoming suspicious.

"Besides that, I was just a little surprised. So, Senior Sister, you like food..."

"After all, sword training requires a lot of physical energy. As a true swordsman, you not only need to give your all when swinging the sword, but it is also important to rest after the swing. Whether it's a good meal to reward your tired muscles, or a good night's sleep, these are all very important~"

As she spoke, Busujima Saeko couldn't help but remind Lan Ke.

Obviously, the tone was equally impolite, even a little condescending, but for some reason Lan Ke couldn't dislike it at all.

However, the two of them also used this opportunity to smoothly shift the topic from food to kendo.

"By the way, Busujima-senpai, have you ever heard of the 'Flying Sword Style'?"

Lan Ke has no idea how many worlds the world he lives in is made up of. After all, who knows if a passerby passing by him might be a character in a certain work? He has been away from the game for so many years and has almost no knowledge of those new characters.

Although according to his assistant, there is no one in this world with "special abilities" except himself, but at the same time, based on Ze Yuezhi's situation, it can be determined that although the other party is not aware of it, he has been affected by the "cognitive world". If the degree of integration between the "cognitive world" and the "material world" continues to increase, sooner or later there will be a person with real special abilities.

Perhaps it is because of this that the "upper limit" of humans in this world seems to be higher than that of his original world.

So Lan Ke couldn't help but have an idea - maybe there is no "magic" in this world, but what if it is just pure swordsmanship?

There are many similar works. So do the people in these works exist in this world?

I'm so tired, so alone

It was precisely to confirm this future that he specifically asked Busujima Saeko.

In Lan Ke's opinion, it is normal that some things cannot be found on the Internet, but as a person with hundreds of years of family inheritance, even if Busujima Saeko has not seen it, she should have heard of it.

"Feitian Yujian Style? Sorry, I haven't heard of it. Is it some special sword style?"

It's a pity that I don't know whether I should be happy or disappointed. Busujima Saeko has never heard of the "Flying Sword Style". On the contrary, although she still maintains her "Yamato Nadeshiko" image, when Lan Ke mentioned the name of the unfamiliar kendo style, Busujima Saeko became visibly interested.

As Lan Ke knew, Busujima Saeko had made many efforts to break through the bottleneck, including but not limited to studying other schools of swordsmanship.

For the sword art, this era is undoubtedly a pity, because it is no longer possible to fight with opponents as freely as before;

But for "Kendo", this era is exciting, because various schools gradually abandon their prejudices, and outstanding swordsmen will not die in fighting. More inspiration will emerge from exchanges and collisions.

No one can judge which one is better, but at least Lan Ke prefers the current way.

So although morality and law bound Busujima Saeko's inner bloodthirsty desire like chains, they also gave her more opportunities to learn and research.

10⒈②28Э0⑨㈧

This includes the guidance given to her by her father's friends.

She also masters other schools besides the 'Tenshin Shinden Katori Shinto-ryu', such as the traditional schools such as the 'Tenen Rishin-ryu' and the 'Kiryoku-ryu'.

Perhaps it cannot reach the level of "transmitting everything without permission", but it cannot be considered as proficient either.

In fact, it is impossible for any true "swordsman" to master only one sword technique. After all, if they want to break the enemy's sword moves, they need to have at least a basic understanding of them.

During this period, he even watched many duels between masters of other schools and listened to their lectures.

But he had never heard of the name "Feitian Yujianliu", especially seeing that Lan Ke's tone when he spoke did not seem like nonsense.

This undoubtedly piqued Saeko Busujima's interest.

"Senior, haven't you heard of it? From what I know, it's a special style that uses Iai as its primary attack method. Because the speed of sword drawing is so fast that it even exceeds the reaction speed of ordinary people, it is also called "Godspeed Sword Drawing Technique" by some people..."

As expected, as Lan Ke described, Busujima Saeko's eyes became brighter and brighter.

After all, her favorite kendo move was Iai, where she bet her life and death on a single sword strike. The feeling of dancing on the tip of a sword made her blood boil unconsciously every time she swung her sword.

Especially when Lan Ke talked about moves like 'Earth Dragon Flash' and 'Flying Dragon Flash', she nodded in approval.

Compared to the kendo's emphasis on 'stopping at the right time', true swordsmanship is a brutal fight to the point of vital points. It is normal to deceive the enemy in order to win in battle. The 'Earth Dragon Flash' that disrupts the enemy by attacking the ground, and the 'Flying Dragon Flash' that uses the scabbard as a flying prop to make a preemptive attack are both seemingly ordinary moves, but are quite useful in actual combat.

Busujima Saeko listened very seriously, and Lan Ke also spoke very seriously because he was very curious about something.

With the higher "ceiling" of humans in today's world, is it possible to replicate the "Flying Sword Style", a sword technique that originally only existed in comics?

If Busujima Saeko can master it, then can't I ask her to teach me?

Thinking of this, Lan Ke was a little excited.

But no matter how excited he was, Lan Ke felt a little dry in the mouth after talking all the way. He couldn't help but take another look at the nearby wall which seemed to have not changed much from before.

As if she could see what Lan Ke was thinking, Busujima Saeko smiled and comforted Lan Ke.

"We'll be at the gate soon. In fact, many of the gym's apprentices come directly here by bike. There are parking spaces inside the gym, but since I prefer to walk, I apologize for having you, Senior Brother Naruto, accompany me."

If Busujima Saeko simply thought that Lan Ke had good talent before, and if she trained him well, maybe he could put some pressure on herself and force herself to improve her strength.

In fact, it is very simple for Saeko Busujima to simply break through her own "bottleneck".

The reason why she hesitated to swing the sword was due to her fear. She was worried that she would not be able to control the sword in her hand and would become a complete "murderer", so she tried to control her sword. This feeling of being restricted naturally made her feel bound.

In contrast, in fact, she only needs to give up her normal three views and let the beast in her heart drive herself, then the sword in her hand will no longer have any hesitation, and naturally there will be no so-called "bottleneck".

But at this point, it becomes a question whether she should be called "Bujima Saeko" or "bloodthirsty beast".

But now, with the end of "stealing hearts", the bloodthirsty desire that had been gradually running wild was once again put into shackles. Busujima Saeko no longer felt that she would lose control, and her sword-wielding hand no longer hesitated. This could also be understood as breaking through the "bottleneck".

Now that she no longer feels anxious, theoretically she is not so anxious to train Lan Ke. However, whether it is because of her identity as the "successor of the dojo" or because she is used to being the president of the kendo club, she not only did not abandon Lan Ke, this "unpolished gem", but instead paid more attention to him.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so proactive today when he heard Lan Ke wanted to try 'working'.

Polishing a rough jade into the shape you want...it's really exciting to think about it~

Busujima Saeko instinctively licked the corner of her mouth.

It turns out that S and M can often be transformed into each other.

Lan Ke, who did not notice the change in Busujima Saeko's gaze, instead noticed a certain 'key word' in the other person's words.

"Senior, you said 'gate' instead of 'home'. Does that mean..."

Lan Ke suddenly turned his head to look behind him. He saw a wall that was almost identical to the one in front of him, and a wall in front of him that was also endless even though it was blocked by trees. A possibility emerged in his mind.

"Wait?! Senior! Could it be that this place... is all your home?"

"Strictly speaking, only a portion of it. The vast majority of it belongs to the 'Kendo Hall' land."

Lan Ke doesn't want to distinguish between "residential land" and "commercial land" for the time being, but no matter which one it is, it's outrageous! !

The previous single dormitory was enough for Lan Ke. After all, a dormitory only needed a bed and a toilet for him. However, the attic in Jotaro Kujo's house, which was not much smaller than his own single dormitory, made him realize that although he had a good salary before, he was still quite far from being a "real rich person".

Last night at the Emiya Residence made Lan Ke gradually realize how frugal Jotaro Kujo was in his daily life. As the only heir to a large consortium, the environment he lived in could only be described as "ordinary". Lan Ke had even planned to order a few dishes instead of a set meal for the "takeout lunch box" after returning home tonight!

After all, the other party might not be being polite when he says that he doesn't need that little money.

If people knew about Lan Ke's unambitious thoughts at this moment, perhaps his suspicion of being a "phantom thief" would be completely cleared, right?

After all, one of the important points in the police's personality profile of the "Phantom Thief of Heart" is that he "treats money like dirt."

But soon Busujima Saeko once again refreshed Lan Ke's three views. Even though he had already been mentally prepared for the "kendo family that has been passed down for hundreds of years", in Lan Ke's opinion, it was at most the "Emiya Residence PLUS version", but in fact it was still a lot worse.

As it turned out, Busujima Saeko did not lie to them this time. When the two walked past the decorative trees planted on the roadside, they saw an extremely exaggerated gate.

What surprised Lan Ke was that after the door was opened, he didn't see a group of servants shouting "Welcome home, young lady." He felt like something was missing...

Chapter 29: Project Genji

While Lan Ke was still wondering whether the maids in traditional Japanese lady's houses should wear maid uniforms or maid clothes, Busujima Saeko had already walked into the door with her schoolbag in hand.

She glanced at Lan Ke who seemed to be in a daze behind her, and didn't think much about it. She just smiled and reminded Lan Ke.

"Aren't you coming in?"

Lan Ke, suddenly awakened, quickened his pace to catch up, but he was still trying to find something.

Seeing this, Busujima Saeko smiled and explained.

"Although the wooden gate is very impressive, it's too troublesome to open and close manually because people occasionally visit. So my father replaced it with an electric door hinge several years ago. Someone in the security room always keeps an eye on the gate and will help open it when necessary."

After hearing Busujima Saeko's explanation, Lan Ke suddenly realized. He was originally wondering "where was the person who opened the door", but he didn't expect it to be electric.

It can be said that those who have been able to pass down to this day and are still prosperous may not be as conservative as ordinary people imagine. For example, Kotomine Risei, who goes online to keep up with the latest trends in the church just to try to attract more young people, and Busujima Saeko's father, who is constantly improving the dojo that looks very old at first glance.

If the previous experience at the gate was somewhat beyond Lan Ke's expectations, then after entering the dojo, Lan Ke felt a lot more "normal".

"Teacher's representative!"

"Teacher Representative! You're back!!"

"Miss!!"

……

Most of the apprentices who were originally training in the gym greeted Busujima Saeko very enthusiastically.

These people are of different ages, but most of them are the same age as Lan Ke and his friends. After all, only people of this age group have enough time and energy to devote to kendo. For older people, even if they can come to the dojo to study on time due to life reasons, it is impossible for them to practice in the dojo when dinner is almost over.

As for those who are older, most of them are formal disciples.

Unlike those apprentices who have to pay to learn, these disciples not only do not have to spend money, but also have free food and accommodation. At the same time, the gym will also share the honors they win in competitions.

After greeting everyone, Busujima Saeko told Lan Ke that she needed to change her clothes, and if Lan Ke didn't mind, she could wait in the gym for a while.

Lan Ke naturally would not refuse this.

Although he really wanted to use his 'third eye' to search for clues right away, in order to prevent himself from being too abrupt, he obeyed obediently, so that he could take the opportunity to go to the bathroom later... No, he could even ask Busujima Saeko to take him on a tour simply out of curiosity.

Spare ㈨6０㈠2⑥贰⑦○

Thinking of this, Lan Ke, who was sitting on the tatami in the dojo, no longer felt bored.

But at this moment, a slightly rough voice suddenly sounded behind Lan Ke.

"Kid, welcome to the 'Bureau Island Gym'~"

Because he heard someone calling him, Lan Ke instinctively looked in the direction of the voice, and then he saw a tall middle-aged man with traces of blue stubble on his lips greeting him with a hearty smile.

Lan Ke instinctively prepared to return the gift.

It's strange to say, he is actually not interested in Neon's complicated and superficial etiquette, but in order to disguise himself, he naturally cannot act too independent. But the interesting part is here, he is obviously very resistant, but he seems to have mastered it well after a brief understanding.

But this time the other party didn't seem to give him a chance. Almost as soon as he finished greeting him, the other party came up.

"Little brother, judging from your school uniform, you should be a classmate of the young lady, right?"

Looking at the other person's face getting closer and closer, Lan Ke probably guessed that the other person seemed to have misunderstood something.

To say that he was not interested in Busujima Saeko was basically a lie. After all, he didn't know if it was the influence of this body, but his hormone secretion seemed to be a little more than before. But he couldn't answer like that right now.

"I'm a junior in Busujima-senpai's club. She said she had a part-time job for me, so I followed her here..."

As Lan Ke finished speaking, the vague sense of oppression around him eased a lot, but the murmurs were still inevitable.

"He's the young lady's apprentice, not that..."
