Tokyo Trickster

This is a gift from God. Whether it is the well-proportioned figure, the delicate and exquisite appearance, plus the visible acting talent...ATLUS agency needs such a pillar who can carry the burden.

Amamiya Ren calmly followed Tatsumi Kotaro away from the crime scene, and did not forget to say goodbye to the uncle politely when passing by the ticket booth.

An Lisi didn't expect that her agent would bring back the glass-like, melancholy boy in less than ten minutes after he went out.

Wait, the other person seems to be my junior? !

The idol trainee was surprised to recognize the school uniform on Amamiya Ren.

"Hello, senior," the young man bowed politely, "My name is Amamiya Ren, and I may become your colleague in the future."

"If you are very busy, don't force yourself," the agent said softly. "When you are free, you can try to visit the office and then consider whether to join."

This was exactly what Amamiya Ren was waiting for. He turned around and left without hesitation...not forgetting to take Tatsumi Kotaro's business card with him.

ATLUS Office. 013 BC Street, Yokenjaya, Setagaya-ku.

It’s quite close to my guardian’s shop, so I’ll stop by next time I pass by.

The thief pushed the door open and walked out. He had to quickly "use" the work permit he had just stolen.

The wet ground was slightly muddy, and the commercial street had regained its lively atmosphere. There were no shouts, but the dazzling advertising signs created a peaceful atmosphere, as if the wind had stopped and the rain had calmed down.

Kamoshida's parents live in an apartment near the sunken plaza. Having a son who has won an Olympic gold medal has indeed brought great convenience to their lives.

After asking several uncles and aunts who were exercising in the park, Amamiya Ren finally found her goal.

"Auntie, hello..." He stopped a woman with wrinkles on her face and smiled as if she were bathed in spring breeze. "Excuse me, is this Mr. Kamoshida your husband?"

"Yes, yes," the old woman was somewhat impressed by the appearance of this beautiful young man with a quiet and transparent temperament, and became more amiable, "Excuse me, what can I do for you?"

Amamiya Ren took out a yellowed work permit, the plastic cover was covered with grayish white mud. He pointed to the bushes in the community a little further away and said, "I picked this up there."

"It must have taken a lot of effort to get the news," the old lady said with a gentle look.

"Well, of course," Amamiya Lian smiled proudly, what a sunny and cheerful boy.

The two of them chatted as they walked, as if they were close friends regardless of age.

The old woman was very talkative. She said that Amamiya Ren was very much like her son, and even brought up the fact that Kamoshida danced naked by the river in his hometown when he was a child.

Yu Gong Lian said that you have the final say, anyway, he has not turned off the recording on his phone.

It was not until they were close to Kamoshida's house that they reluctantly parted. Kamoshida's mother was afraid that she would mistreat Amamiya Ren, so she gave him 5000 Yichi as a reward.

This is great. I got all the information and made a lot of money. During the whole conversation, Amamiya Ren used clever words to avoid topics that might reveal her true information, and interspersed humorous Showa jokes to make the old woman smile.

Looking at the time again, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon.

After dinner, it's almost time to go home from school.

Although I had no intention of going back to school.

The Phantom Thief sorted out the information so far and had already pieced together a complete and clear image of Taku Kamoshida.

The battle plan can begin tomorrow.

He yawned and decided to play APEX for a while when he got home.

This season's hunting rankings are in tatters.

By the way, Amamiya Ren’s current rank is just at the tail end of the hunt, ranking 735th.

Maintaining your hunting ranking is more tiring than going to work. Players of the same rank as you join the game every minute and every second. If you slack off for a moment, you will lose your current ranking or even drop back to Master.

After a fierce battle, he washed up carefully, then lay down on his big bed, closed his eyes, kicked his legs, and became motionless.

My consciousness dived deep into the dream and came to the velvet room.

Lavenda had been waiting here for a long time. She filled her desk with textbooks, warmed up a cup of hot American coffee, and whispered, "Welcome back, Trickster."

"You can also make coffee?" Amamiya Lian was a little surprised.

"This is a replica of the taste you once tasted." The contractor's personal secretary elegantly handed over a cream puff from Nishi-Ogikubo. Nishi-Ogikubo is a small residential area between Kichijoji and Ogikubo on the JR Chuo Line, famous for its many antique art shops. Here, the pastry chef Eira Kawamura opened his shop "A tes souhaits".

"If you need it, I also have tea-flavored Christmas from Ginza SALON GINZA SABOU." Lavenda opened the small cupboard next to the desk, took out a silver tray, removed the cover, and inside was exquisite ice cream in a glass container.

Amamiya Ren chose to have everything provided for her, and immersed herself in Lavenda's almost motherly care.

Lavenda is the girl who could be my mother—

He opened the math textbook for the next semester and began to study "indeterminate equations."

Dry weather: 021. The Day the King Was Cut Down Part 2.5 (K)

Amamiya Ren believes that he cannot be a good person in the broad sense. From the moment he learned to cheat to fight Joker, he has stepped into the depths of the mud.

If you can keep your original heart even in the mud, it is precious. This is the farewell message from a man named Oshino Yoru.

In the early morning, a crow flew past the window sill, dropping a few black feathers and a pile of green and white feces, just like the bomber dropping a nuclear bomb on Hiroshima, which always had to make a loud noise. A less fortunate passerby scratched his hair and immediately felt the warmth soaking into his scalp. He was instantly filled with sadness. The fear engraved in his DNA overcame the law-abidingness that was also engraved in his DNA. He cursed uncontrollably, saying that today was a terrible day.

Amamiya Ren picked up his phone and wallet and went to school. He didn't carry a school bag. After all, all the textbooks were in the classroom and no one dared to touch them.

By the way, the yellow-haired guy who was in the hospital yesterday should have asked for leave, right?

Near the Shibuya to Aoyama 1-chome train station, Ryuji Sakamoto, with his left leg in plaster and on crutches, was looking around, as if looking for something...

Amamiya Ren showed a helpless expression, and when the other party discovered him, he limped closer.

"Hey, Amamiya..." Sakamoto Ryuji, who always walked with a hunched back, stood up straight, but his eyes were evasive. He didn't seem to be able to deal with the unreasonable kindness of a stranger, especially since this stranger was a villain whom he had avoided. The two of them were of the same age and had never met before, and he was able to receive sincere help. His heart suddenly surged with embarrassing guilt and regret, as well as strong gratitude.

"Go ahead." The thief, who was in a hurry to go to school, was a little impatient.

"Please accept these!" Sakamoto Ryuji did something that was beyond Amamiya Ren's expectations. He actually took out five 10,000 yuan bills and handed them out with both hands. "This is all the money I can raise."

Ryuji Sakamoto did not seek help from his divorced parents. His father had already started a new family, and his mother worked very hard, so the family was not well off. He just said that he accidentally fell and broke his bones while walking, and met a kind person who helped him, and then quietly sold his football, game console, game cartridges...

Amamiya Ren did not ask about the source of the money. He just accepted it with a normal look and said, "There is still 4000 yuan left. Haruka will pay it back before the class division next semester."

"I'll remember that." Sakamoto Ryuji breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's good. I'm going to school now." The two nodded to each other and went their separate ways.

Ryuji Sakamoto was going to go home and recuperate for a few days. The treatment provided by the health teacher at Shujin High School was quite effective, and the severity of the fracture was minimized in an incredible way. Otherwise, Takemiya would not have said "the patient was brought in at a very timely moment" after seeing the fracture.

The waiting platform during the morning rush hour is always crowded. Adults who are used to bowing and nodding seem to be unable to stand up straight anymore. They have not been broken by the iron rods of their superiors, but their spines have been broken by the pressure of life. Once they stand up, their families who depend on them will fall heavily to the ground and break into pieces. The mobile phone screens show indifferent faces.

Energetic students mingled among them, chatting eagerly with their peers, but the overall atmosphere of the environment was minimally changed.

The dark tunnel was filled with the sharp sound of rollers rubbing against rails at high speed.

Amamiya Ren pinched her wrist. Inside the sleeve of her school uniform, a folding knife was securely fastened to a slightly modified sports wristband.

He was ready to destroy Kamoshida's shadow today, and had taken all necessary measures to do so.

[Current navigation: Kamoshida's spiritual palace. ]

【距离：184M、183M、182M......1M，0M。】

Walking into the alley outside the school, Amamiya Ren disappeared in the sparkling whirlpool.

At the same time, Xiu Gao's health doctor had already handed in his resignation letter to the principal's office.

Before that, she posted a pile of black-background red-printed letter papers in various corners of the campus late at night.

Now, the teachers or students have surrounded the letter papers, showing different expressions.

The letterhead has the same content:

Shameless lustful person, Mr. Taku Kamoshida, you impose your twisted desires on students who cannot resist. We are well aware of how outrageous your actions are, so we decided to steal your twisted desires and let you confess your crimes. We will deal with you tomorrow, so be prepared.

——The Phantom Thieves of Hearts, here we go.

The time goes back 6 hours.

The Velvet Room.

Ren Amamiya finished her preview of "Indeterminate Equations".

Lavenda pulled out a blackboard with a diagram of the building structure drawn on it - she had copied it based on the information provided by Amamiya Ren.

Chaldea’s first battle plan against the singularity... Wrong, wrong, let’s start over... The Phantom Thieves of Hearts’ first battle plan against the Palace of the Heart begins.

The "Phantom Thieves of Hearts", an organization full of second-year values, was conceived by Lavenda.

She said that since Amamiya Ren's personality mask corresponds to the French legendary thief Arsene Lupin, and his job is to sneak into the memory space and steal people's hearts, then he might as well be called the "Thief of the Mind."

But I'm already in the first year of high school. Mr. Kaito objected. He believed that Chuunibyou was a mental epidemic that was prevalent among the second year students of junior high school.

Lavenda said that she looked no different from a second-year junior high school girl, and then she looked at Amamiya Ren with her bright tortoise-shell eyes without blinking, her eyes full of irresistible expectation and tenderness.

Amamiya Ren was defeated at a rapid speed.

Currently, there are only two members of the "Phantom Thieves of Hearts".

The Phantom Thief, and his cute little secretary.

"Since we are a group of Phantom Thieves who operate under masks, we also need to prepare appropriate code names to avoid exposing our true identities... How cool!"

The girl sat across from the desk, holding her face, looking at Amamiya Ren, her lips curled up, not hiding her excitement and excitement, "Do you want me to help you pick one?"

"You...ah, whatever." Amamiya Ren had given up resisting. He clutched the math book tightly to suppress the embarrassment that made his scalp tingle.

"Hehe, my code name is Maid, which means maid~" Lavenda poked her lips with her finger.

The pearly lips open and close slightly, crystal clear and soft like jelly, making people want to lower their heads and bite it to savor the possible sweetness and beauty.

"What about my code name?" Amamiya Ren looked away, discarding those beautiful thoughts.

"Joker. How's that? Does it sound good?"

"......" The thief was silent.

He and Lavenda stared at each other.

Until the other party lowered his head somewhat guiltily, "Because, this code name is really cool."

Well, Lavenda likes glamour.

He finally understood.

"Where's the handsomeness?" Amamiya Ren crossed her legs, her face full of interrogation.

"The Joker I'm talking about is not the clown you think it is," Lavenda looked at the Fool card standing on the corner of the table with a bit of fear, "In the poker system, Joker means 'hidden trump card'!"

Ace...Amamiya Ren thought that it was a good title that would allow him to more clearly distinguish himself from that madman.

"Joker?" Lavenda stood beside him, testing cautiously.

"Maid." The thief answered while suppressing his shame.

"Hehe..." Lavenda couldn't help laughing out loud, feeling very proud and happy. The feeling of being pampered made the girl feel a little dizzy. She waved her hand and said, "Let's go! Joker! Let's go steal Kamoshida's twisted desire together!"

(There is one more chapter to come, please vote!!!)

(By the way, I read a friend's book "Shirou Emiya Standing on the Terra Continent")

022. The Day the King Was Cut Down, Part

Every spiritual palace has a "secret treasure" that serves as the core of its operation.

Once the "secret treasure" is taken away, its owner will immediately lose his twisted desire and perform corresponding acts of repentance.

But the "secret treasure" does not have a physical entity, it is just a cognitive concept.

Unless... the owner of the palace can become subjectively aware of his own desires under external stimulation.

Today, Taku Kamoshida did not show his usual proud smile. He pushed away the crowd, stood in front of the signboard, and looked at the "Preview Letter of the Phantom Thief" with a gloomy expression.

Who is it? He wondered doubtfully, this was only the beginning of the second semester, could it be that someone had secretly planned this during the summer vacation...

The chaotic thoughts made Kamo Shida a little dazed. He turned his head and looked suspicious at everyone.

Now go to the principal to apply for permission to use surveillance. We must first catch the guy who posted these letters.

Kamo Shida gritted his teeth and quickly left the corridor of the teaching building.

――Shuo

Amamiya Ren held Lavenda in her arms and ran wildly through the underground maze, with the guards chasing them closely behind.

When the "secret treasure" appears, the owner of the palace will enter a state of high alert, the entire palace will be activated, and shadows will form from all directions like a tide, searching for any intruders with ill intentions.

There is a warm touch to holding the girl's petite body in one's arms, making one unable to let go... In the impression space, Amamiya Ren is simply a physical superman. She can carry the weight of four desks on her back without even frowning, and her running speed consistently exceeds the Guinness record.

"Joker, do you want to fight back?" Lavenda lay on Amamiya Ren's shoulder, and the gentle air flow swept across her cheek, tickling her heart. As a tenant of the Velvet Room, the personality mask she possessed was enough to easily destroy these not-so-powerful shadows.
