Tokyo Trickster

"Maruki Takuto" paused, "At least, in most of the futures we have experienced, Akechi Goro died tragically because of the failure of the plan to disable him."

"What does failure mean?"

"For example, in a certain timeline, Goro Akechi tried to disable a man named 'Adachi Toru' in prison, but was beaten into a vegetable in return."

A-choo. Goro Akechi, who was cleaning the classroom, sneezed. He looked out the window at the setting sun, confused by a sudden palpitation.

17-year-old Ace: 194. Cake Baking Master Amamiya Ren (-in-)

(Some details have been omitted in this chapter, and the unedited version will be released as a benefit during the National Day.)

Amamiya Ren sat behind the desk in the Velvet Room. In order to prevent his actions from affecting his past self, he simply stayed at home and did not go out.

Without video games to play, I had to study cooking techniques besides reviewing my studies...

By the way, the Velvet Room has now become a "time distortion zone" because of Chronos's operation on Judas's broken arm. It has broken away from the existing time and space and jumped out of the limitations of the past, present and future. It is a "Velvet Room" that is unique to his cognition.

In simple terms: there are two Velvet Rooms in this timeline. The former is the room that was "sealed after Lavenda was attacked", and the latter is the room that was "changed by Amamiya Ren and is a part of his cognition."

This is an inevitable historical development: if Amamiya Ren had not returned to this timeline, Lavenda would have continued to exist as a twin. When she was brought to this timeline by Judas, it would inevitably trigger a series of changes.

Therefore, the original Velvet Room will sleep in the gap between reality and impression space, and the Velvet Room that exists in Amamiya Ren's cognition is born.

He truly became the master of the Velvet Room.

The Phantom Thief was sitting on the sofa holding Carolina and Ristina, and his double secretary was lying in his arms holding a folding table, playing Yu-Gi-Oh.

"Hey," Carolina's face turned red. She glared at Amamiya Ren shyly, baring her teeth and claws fiercely, "Why are you staring at my collar? The thing about peeping...you perverted Loly-control demon!"

"Sister," Ristina quickly steadied the chessboard, a little annoyed, "My turn isn't over yet."

"I activate 'Proliferation G'," Carolina threw a card onto the folding table.

Ristina felt that Amamiya Ren's hand was a little restless, and a card was stuffed under her skirt. The assistant made a (this paragraph has been blocked), did not avoid it, but just clung to his arms intimately, and then slapped a "Gray Flowing Beauty" on the folding table.

Amamiya Ren secretly gave a "Pluto Barrier Wave" to Ristina.

The quiet assistant looked at her sister's full "Avalokitesvara's Fury" on the field and fell into deep thought.

"I activate the Pluto barrier wave." She smiled brightly.

"Uh...ah! Why?!" Carolina exclaimed in disbelief.

Ever since Amamiya Ren revealed the truth about the Velvet Room, the two assistants have gotten rid of the constraints left by Yaldabaoth. They no longer need to wear the dark blue prison guard uniforms and can dress like normal girls...Carolina is wearing a lake blue puff-sleeved top with a tight leather skirt today. She sits cross-legged in Amamiya Ren's arms with her ivory-white, silvery, slender and long legs.

Her sister, Ristina, was wearing a white dress with a waistband. Her long silver hair was carefully braided into a French braid, decorated with some small diamond-shaped gold ornaments. She wore a pair of round-framed glasses on her small nose, which made her look very bookish. She leaned on Amamiya Ren's shoulder and smiled peacefully.

"This is a bond," Christina carefully patted the hem of her skirt down to cover Amamiya Ren's restless hands under her skirt. Her face was red, but she showed a normal indifference.

Carolina didn't think her sister's behavior was weird. Maybe she was very excited after winning? She sorted out the deck and looked at Ristina with burning eyes, "Hurry up, let's play another round!"

"Well... Oh, okay." Ristina's right hand suddenly clenched into a small fist and pressed it against her thin pearly lips. Her eyebrows drooped, and her clear eyes were full of moisture. "Um... Wait a minute, I haven't sorted it out yet... I haven't sorted out the deck yet."

She reached her left hand under the table and held down the hem of her skirt tightly. Her slender thighs were tense and trembling, but her expression quickly regained composure.

"Hey, you have a weird expression!" Carolina raised her eyebrows, "Are you trying not to laugh?!"

"I just remembered some important things."

"Forget it, let's get started! I will definitely win this time."

Ristina seemed to have made a very difficult decision, as if she had completely let go of the constraints and obstructions of some unknown force, allowing it to mix into the duelist's mind and affect the bond between card skills and card drawing. She began to shuffle the deck, no longer paying attention to what was happening under the table, with a smile on her pink face, "Let's get started!"

While the two girls were playing cards, Amamiya Ren was studying how to make a perfect cake base from a completely relaxed dough.

Cream puffs are always small and delicate, and can be eaten clean in one bite.

But if you make a cream cake based on the raw materials, the time you can enjoy it will be much longer, and it will have a unique, slightly elastic chewing texture that is different from puffs, and it will be transformed into a fluffy and soft texture that melts in your mouth.

The process of making a cake must not be rushed, but must be patient and gentle.

After preparing the raw materials, the first step is to beat the egg liquid. Beat the clear egg liquid until it becomes viscous, preferably foamy. Then pour in an appropriate amount of low-gluten flour and mix and stir until the fully beaten egg liquid absorbs it, and then put it into a mold lined with a layer of wax paper. In this process, not only will part of the cake liquid be contaminated in the mold and difficult to remove, but it is also inevitable that part of the cake liquid will splash to the outside, fall under the table, and wet the chairs. It must be carefully covered and cleaned to leave a good impression on customers.

The last step is to put the mold into the oven for a long time. It will become hot, fluffy and soft until the bottom wax paper is torn off, revealing the snow-white inner layer of the cake. You also need to add some decorative ingredients, such as moist fruits, bars or strips of chocolate.

Then spread thick butter on it.

In this way, the delicious cream cake is ready.

The cooking noise was of course a bit too loud, and the sweet and delicious taste of the finished product made the tenants who were keen on playing cards lose interest in their game and clamor to break into the kitchen.

The successfully graduated baking master Amamiya Lian wiped the sweat from her forehead and started to prepare the raw materials again, ready to make the second cream cake.

Little girls are always easy to please. They don’t need a lot of promises or gifts. Just putting enough light white cream on or in the cake is enough to make them satisfied.

Rich protein intake plays a vital role in growth and development.

the next day.

Amamiya Ren, who believes that his baking skills have reached the master level, is in high spirits and is ready to consolidate what he learned yesterday.

He was still hugging the two assistants on his left and right, and this time he was preparing the ingredients at the same time to make two cakes.

Each tenant thought he was eating alone, and tried his best to endure the joyful praises when tasting the cream cake, and pretended nothing had happened and continued the game at the card table.

(500 words omitted here)

After some passionate baking, Amamiya Ren felt that her cooking skills had greatly improved. At this time, Carolina and Christina became one.

Lavenda hugged Amamiya Ren's neck, rested her chin on his collarbone, and stared at his profile with her bright eyes without blinking.

"how do you feel?"

“Very fresh and delicious.”

"Haha, thank you for the compliment," Lavenda rubbed his cheek proudly, "Want to try again next time?"

"It's a pity that you can't appear at the same time."

Lavenda's skin slowly began to heat up. "The feelings are the same... I will experience what they experience... so it's double."

Her eyes were wet, and she raised her head and kissed the corner of Amamiya Ren's mouth, "And then, my love for you should be sixteen times greater now."

“This is too heavy.”

"Hehehe, this is all your fault." Lavenda stroked her flat and smooth belly, "You can't get tired of me just because you have Carolina and Christina~"

"You didn't understand what I meant at all." Amamiya Ren grabbed her face and rubbed it back and forth.

Lavenda simply patted her chest gently, "This overflowing emotion always needs to be poured out."

She turned her face to the side and gently bit Amamiya Ren's thumb, "Otherwise I will be swallowed up by those awful possessive desires and become a bad girl~"

Amamiya Ren's breathing stagnated, and she tried to change the subject, "Since you are here, it means that the incident in Naoetsu has already..."

Lavenda pressed him down on the sofa. "You are the one who led this multiple relationship. You should take responsibility for it. Be careful not to let it become distorted and become pathological!"

"I'm just worried about the disaster in Naoetsu."

"It's all been solved!" Lavenda unbuttoned his collar angrily. "Compared to Naoetsu's disaster, it's more appropriate for you to worry about your own disaster first!"

Day three.

Amamiya Ren lay on the desk in the Velvet Room, and Lavenda gently massaged his shoulders and back.

"It's okay if you don't want to work~" The secretary gazed at Amamiya Ren with a gentle and loving look that seemed to tolerate all his shortcomings and faults.

"Is this the aftereffect?" The thief stood up in uproar.

"Yes," Lavenda answered crisply, "The superposition of many strong and sincere emotions and memories almost drove me crazy!"

She clenched and unclenched her hands, "I'm almost turning into... a bad girl who gets sick the moment she leaves the Trickster for a second."

"When will she be able to recover?" Amamiya Ren held her in his arms and stroked her soft face.

Lavenda kissed the palm of Amamiya Ren's hand, "I don't know. Maybe after returning to the original timeline, this feeling will overlap again, but no matter what, I will never hurt the Trickster. Never, never."

She missed Amamiya Ren's smell, body temperature, touch, and even every detail of her texture. This emotion was irrational and even violated the contract between her and Igor, but she had no power to resist and even enjoyed it.

Finally I made up my mind to work.

Amamiya Ren was sorting out the documents on the table.

"Yaldabait is preparing a conspiracy in the image space. According to the guidance of 'Maruki Takuto', a person who can cause great trouble to K will arrive in Tokyo soon."

"But this alone is not enough," Amamiya Ren said, "If you want to return to reality, you must rely on Judas's power. The only way to achieve it may be the deal with Maruki Takuto. Maruki Takuto wants revenge, so he must destroy Yaldabet's plan."

"Mr. Narukami Yuu will definitely be able to help you," Lavenda picked up a piece of printed paper on the table.

"And then there's Ms. Sakura Kinomoto."

"And," she hesitated, "and Margaret...sister."

As a time stowaway, Amamiya Lian sighed repeatedly, "There is no more choice. It is very difficult to find a way to make these people understand the current situation and be willing to help. What's more, we need them to cooperate with each other and join forces to fight against Yaldabet."

"The most important point is that we have no clues about Yaldabet's whereabouts."

"Yeah, I don't know where K hid Igor... I haven't met my guide yet." Amamiya Ren's gaze stopped on a mobile phone in the desk drawer.

This was sent in by Maruki Takuto with the help of Judas.

He turned on his cell phone and found only a single text message in the address book.

[This is SEES. We have detected a large-scale shadow disturbance. The detector has failed. We have found a place that breeds shadows and is regarded as a "tram station". Due to unknown risks, we have given up exploration. This message is sent to all the lost, wandering, and survivors in the "tram station". This is SEES (Shadow Patrol). We promise to help the trapped people get back on track. If you are facing a critical situation, please reply to this message as much as possible. ]

"It's amazing," Amamiya Ren said when she first learned that there was an organization like SEES.

It seems to understand shadows well, but not so well the impression space.

The thief opened the text message and started typing on the soft keyboard.

According to his intuition and inference, the key to finding Yaldabaoth and implementing the elimination plan is most likely in [SEES].

[Help, I'm trapped in B3 of the tram station and can't escape. There are many humanoid monsters here... I don't know the name of this tram station. ]

Amamiya Ren continued to write, [No matter who you are, please save me. I am at B3 of the train station, and I am being chased by a group of monsters.]

[I am trapped in the fire escape of tram station B3. There are monsters wandering around everywhere. They will kill people... Please save me. ]

17-year-old Ace: 195. Star Cup: Almost burned me out (two in one)

"The real Naoetsu".

A brutal fight to the death finally came to an end.

Kitagawa Vsuke grabbed a spiral steel bar that had pierced his shoulder, and blood oozed out from the gap in the wound, "[Ishikawa Gou-gumi]."

The white frost quickly covered the steel bars to his shoulder, freezing the wound that was bleeding profusely. Only after doing all this did he relax a little and leaned against the wall of the rostrum. Beside him was a huge hole. Transparent ice crystals formed a cross that went through most of the playground. The five "hounds" were locked in it and unable to move.

The Hounds of Tindalos do have the ability to "reset time"... After countless failures and deaths, the Phantom Thieves finally found a way to defeat them.

First of all, the hounds cannot go back to the "past" when Amamiya Ren was caught in the time turbulence by Judas, because once they try to launch an attack on the members of the Phantom Thieves, they will be immediately "killed" by Amamiya Ren. This is an unavoidable and fixed result.

If you want to go to the "future", you will inevitably encounter Margaret who defeated "Yuki Riki".

As a result, they are bound to the "present" of "encircling and killing the Phantom Thieves" by Araragi Koyomi, who constantly resets their status as losers. Only by killing the Phantom Thieves and fixing this result can the hounds gain new possibilities.

It has always been the "Hound of Tindalos" that tires its prey by constantly traveling through time.

This was the first time I had been dragged into an endless war of attrition by a group of humans.

Of course, it was also the last time.

Kitagawa Vsuke looked at Sakamoto Ryuji who was staggering towards him, and forced a weak smile on his pale face.

As long as we start counting from the time when Amamiya Ren left this timeline and block the movement trajectory of each hound, we can achieve victory through spatial geometry.

Morgana used magic threads as a reference system and guide, Sakamoto Ryuji used chains and hellfire to contain them, and Kitagawa Vsuke created a large amount of hard ice surface to gradually block the coordinates where they left traces.

During this period, I experienced countless failures.

But fortunately, their new partners can always turn everything around just before the end.

After a lot of trial and error, we finally found the path to victory.

Araragi Koyomi lay on the frozen grass, staring blankly at the gray night sky.

"It's finally over..." he thought, "My youth has really become a strange thing."

Morgana lay on a broken piece of plastic shed, and the fierce battle at the school gate came to an end.

However, the puppet "Yuuki Riki" was defeated by Margaret.

This most powerful tenant broke Yuuki Ri's spine amid Elizabeth's shrill scream. It had a ceramic texture and its muscles seemed to be filled with plastic.
