Dry weather: 033. The third place in the Phantom Thief Period
After a pleasant weekend, it was time to go back to school. The gate of Xiujin High School was only opened a crack for teachers and some students to use. On the path outside the campus, only police cars were parked, and several policemen were talking around the wall. The reporters who came one after another blocked the school gate.
With the arrest of Kamoshida Taku, the increasingly heated public opinion forced the school to conduct an education inspection, allowing the students to happily get a week-long vacation.
There is no school today, but Amamiya Ren came anyway.
"You're here." The security guard looked alert.

"I'm here." Amamiya Ren walked through the crowd of police cars carrying a shoulder bag.
"You shouldn't have come." The security guard's expression turned sad the next moment. He glanced at the reporters outside the door who were eager to make a move.
"I'm already here." Amamiya Lian was full of regret.
Sure enough, the next second...
"My classmate!" After a long time without seeing the leader of the group, the reporters pointed their cameras at the handsome thief. "Regarding the news that Kamoshida, the physical education teacher of your school, resigned and surrendered himself, what do you think?"
Regarding the arrest of Mr. Kamoshida, I think it is a major breakthrough in our country's public security system, symbolizing that the Japanese Metropolitan Police Department has successfully progressed from a "body disposal center that turns a blind eye" to a "private office that can be manipulated by public opinion and money" in recent times. Congratulations, congratulations.
These words could only be thought of in his mind. If he said them out loud, he would be immediately taken away by the police car outside and sent to the Metropolitan Police Department to experience the severity of law enforcement. He had already experienced this once last month.
He gave the reporter a blushing smile, and spoke in a steady and natural tone, showing the excellent study style of the students of Hideo High School. "I think the departure of Mr. Kamoshida shows that our country attaches great importance to the education industry. During the investigation of the case, the efficient action of the Metropolitan Police Department gave me a strong sense of security. Born in such a country..."
The answer was so smooth and the words were so beautiful that it was impeccable. The reporter couldn't help but look at Amamiya Ren's handsome face for a few more times before she gave up. They were a political newspaper, and they didn't have so many sections to spend on the personal life of a high school student...Amamiya Ren had already blocked all the topics suitable for the interview with her words.
No matter how outstanding the boy was and how good he was at taking pictures, the reporter could only watch his back slowly disappearing through the door of the teaching building.
In the empty teaching building, only the sound of Amamiya Ren's footsteps could be heard clearly.
He knocked gently on the door of the principal's office.
"Please come in."
Amamiya Ren pushed the door open and walked in.
The large piece of fat sitting behind the desk shook violently, and the wealthy principal looked at the newcomer, "It's you. What's the matter?"
His tone was a little bad, and there was a dull look in his bulging eyelids.
It can be seen that the principal's sleep quality has not been very good recently.
"I hope to use the school's gymnasium. As a member of the volleyball club, if I want to catch up with other members, I have to spend extra time now that the club advisor has left." Amamiya Ren's face was grim. "The preliminaries for the spring high school volleyball league are approaching. As a member of Xiu High School, I must not bring disgrace to the school during the various inspections."
Looking at his righteous face, the principal wanted to give him a good beating to vent his frustration, but he thought of the many negative rumors about Amamiya Ren. He couldn't help but worry that he would stab him to death one night.
The police outside? The principal didn't dare to hope that they could help him. So he said reluctantly, "Then I'll lend it to you for now. Young people should pay attention to rest."
"Thank you for your generosity," Amamiya Ren nodded and bowed, quietly browsing through the pile of documents on the principal's desk.
The resignation letter of the health room teacher was also among them.
"Ms. Yosano Akiko," he secretly praised. This female doctor who was closely involved with a detective club in Yokohama finally left.
Although I don't know what the other party's purpose was in coming to Xiu Gao to serve as a health room teacher for half a semester... now that he has left, his purpose must have been achieved.
Amamiya Ren thought it didn't matter, as long as the blood didn't splatter on her.
He came today to consolidate the volleyball skills he got from Kamoshida.
That almost miraculous athletic ability quickly faded with the passage of time along with Kamoshida's lust, and how much of it could remain depended entirely on Amamiya Ren's determination and hard work.
The busy day came to an end with the sudden meow of a cat.
At 6:30 in the morning, Amamiya Ren got up precisely at the urging of her biological clock.
"Teacher~" It was a call that made people degenerate. The silver-haired girl handed over a hot towel soaked in water. Amamiya Ren took the towel and wiped her face carefully, then threw it into the basin on the floor.
He watched Lavenda kneeling skillfully at the head of the bed to tidy up the mess left after sleeping, and felt that he had become familiar with life in Tokyo without realizing it.
Familiar with the existence of this girl.
The Velvet Room brought many conveniences to Amamiya Ren, including this lovely little secretary who belonged only to her.
A week has passed since Morgana joined the Phantom Thieves of Hearts. The big cat used three strange stones as a token of his allegiance. Lavenda said that these were lust stones, products of the Heart Palace, similar to "secret treasures" that carried the twisted desires of the palace owner. There would only be three lust stones in a palace.
Morgana thought this was a huge problem, so he was going to find a professional to handle it. Coincidentally, Amamiya Ren told him that he was from an organization called "The Phantom Thieves of Hearts", whose job was to steal the desires in the Palace of Hearts.
The big cat was ecstatic, thinking that he had found the organization. He rushed all night and finally climbed onto the balcony of the apartment building and got into Amamiya Lian's home.
Congratulations, Morgana, you will now be the third member of the Phantom Thieves of the Heart.
Morgana put down the stone of desire, feeling hopeless.
Amamiya Ren pushed over a tarot card, [The Magician].
"From now on your code name will be..."
"Magician."
The thief opened the plastic box containing the Desire Stone, and three crystal objects sparkled under the light.
He felt that this was a disposable item that would allow him to briefly regain the perfect volleyball skills derived from Kamoshida.
Amamiya Ren turned over the other two tarot cards on the table.
"This is Lavenda, codename Maid, corresponding to [Strength]."
"You can continue to call me Amamiya Ren, or you can call me by my code name Joker." He opened The Fool and placed it on the table.
"Welcome to the Phantom Thieves of Hearts, Morgana."
(I was supposed to update twice a day today, but I wrote a little weird extra story and sent it to the book club, so unfortunately there is only one chapter... Damn it, in just one day, I already owe 12 chapters.)
Dry weather: 034. Chapter title not approved
On TV, Kamoshida was detained by two armed police officers and taken to court for the final trial.
Amamiya Ren was lying on the sofa, and Lavenda was standing behind the backrest, massaging his shoulders and neck to relieve the fatigue caused by playing Switch for a long time.
Morgana lay on the carpet, his cat's tail twitching weakly.
Countless victims cheered at this moment. Because of Kamoshida, their lives were destroyed directly or indirectly, and their studies were seriously affected.
It's right to hate it.
With a plaster cast on his leg, Ryuji Sakamoto was watching the live broadcast of the court in the living room. When the judge read out the sentence about "Taku Kamoshida violated the Child Protection Act and constituted the crime of intentional injury", he couldn't help but excitedly punched the air, for the thorough implementation of this charge. These days, he has been encouraging the students who were persecuted by Kamoshida to participate. If it were normal times, everyone would definitely not agree, after all, they only play in a favorable situation... Now it is a favorable situation.
"Dream/Yume/Narabadoreho... (How nice it would be if all this was a dream)." The phone screen lit up, and Amamiya Ren answered the call accompanied by the light tune of "Lemon". Lavenda thoughtfully picked up the remote control and turned the volume of the TV to the lowest.
There were a few sparrows perched on the guardrail outside the window, chirping and calling to the slightly damp cold wind. The warm sunlight fell on the red brick surface, illuminating a halo like fog and smoke.
"Moshimoshi (Hello, hey, hey)? This is the Amemiya family. What's going on?" The leader of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts watched Kamoshida being detained and taken away by the armed police on the screen, and he was in a good mood.
A cold and tender female voice came from the receiver, "Teacher Kurusu Akatsuki, have you forgotten something?"
"Excuse me, who is this..." Amamiya Ren calmly stepped away from the receiver, "I don't have your contact information. Did I call the wrong number?"
Lavenda saw the panic in his eyes. She had never seen such emotions in her contractors.
"Teacher Kurusu Akatsuki," the woman on the phone said calmly, "your manuscript fee for next month is still in the account of Xiangyingshe and has not been paid out."
Yu Gong Lian's face turned pale. "Gao Canpi, you and I are both bound by interests. The works produced by us are soulless."
"I don't need your soul, I just need money," Gao Cangjiu said, "I have a seriously ill mother at home..."
"Stop! You've used this excuse dozens of times," Amamiya Ren gritted his teeth, because his editor-in-chief did have a mother lying in a hospital bed waiting for support, "Don't you have any other books to publish?"
"You know, the industry isn't very prosperous recently, and you're already the hottest new generation bestselling author in Tokyo," the editor's voice became mournful, with a rather sad tone, like an actor crying on stage, "Now is the era of light novel publishing, and fewer and fewer people are willing to sit down and read good books."
"Is it true that I am the only contracted author you have this year?" Amamiya Ren was shocked.
"Would you like to guess why I keep urging you to write a new book?" the editor said quietly.
"......" The thief was heartbroken, "Give me two more weeks to calm down."
"You said the same thing last month."
"This time it's real. I really have inspiration." Amamiya Ren urged Lavenda to hide with the cat with her eyes.
"What are you going to write?"
"A story about students who were bullied by a small group led by an unscrupulous teacher and organized a resistance?"
"Based on true events?" the editor asked.
"Adapted from real events." Amamiya Ren felt something was wrong and promised repeatedly.
Sure enough, just as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.
The thief tiptoed to the door and cautiously peeked into the outside world through the door mirror.
A woman with messy long jade-colored hair was standing in the dim corridor with a briefcase. She sounded like a mature worker, but in fact she was quite petite and had a very childish face, making people think she was a little girl who just graduated from junior high school.
Her name is Gao Cai, and she is the editor-in-chief of Amamiya Ren's Tokyo Shoei Publishing House. It is said that she was once a famous beautiful girl writer. Later, she suffered a family change. After dropping out of school, she claimed that she had run out of talent and stopped writing, and switched her career to become a professional editor.
"Teacher Kurusu Akatsuki, please open the door. There is no point in hiding and it will only waste each other's time."
"No! Although I don't know which spy revealed my whereabouts, I will never put you into this only pure land!" Amamiya Ren pretended to be panicked, but in fact he was giving Lavenda time to clean up the scene.
The secretary quickly put all traces of her life in the room into the closet, threw Morgana into the drawer, and went into the mezzanine of the closet and closed the roller door.
Gao Cai seemed helpless. She waited quietly at the door. "The theater adaptation of "Sack Rivers" has been arranged. Are you sure you don't want to let me in?"
"Sack Rivers" means sacrifice. This book is the debut work of Ren Amamiya, which depicts the experiences of two junior high school students after they were captured by a cult, with a brushstroke that seems to be a personal experience. It is full of blood and crazy sacrifices, brainwashing rituals that tempt people to be foolish, and how they escape from despair and get help from the police to dismantle the cult in the town. This story, which is very realistic and realistic, quickly spread and triggered widespread discussion and attention.
Dramatization means that a serious story will be broadcast on the radio, and the medium will change from a book to a film or TV program. The copyright income can be a considerable income.
What a killer move. Amamiya Ren didn't dare to get angry with Qian, so she quickly invited the editor outside to come in.
"My humble abode is shabby and it is difficult for me to entertain you."
Fortunately, Lavenda made a pot of black tea at noon, so Amamiya Ren was not too embarrassed.
The two quickly started negotiating over the copyright issue, and only after they had finished a whole pot of tea did they convince the new bestselling author to sign the humiliating "reprint agreement".
In one month, Amamiya Ren needs to complete a large-scale revision of the original text to meet the requirements of film and television adaptation.
The new book must also complete the story framework within one month for publicity and promotion.
Gao Cai looked at Amamiya Ren's youthful male idol appearance again and again, "Are you really not going to package yourself and then manage your fame?"
"I'm actually considering it," the thief handed over a business card with ATLUS agency written on it.
"I see..." Gao Cai nodded thoughtfully, "Then I'll look forward to Mr. Kurusu Akatsuki's new work!"
Huh, Lavenda then opened the door, grabbed Morgana by the back of the neck and walked into the living room.
Clank. Gao Cai, who had just left, suddenly came back, "By the way, your royalties..."
She stood there in a daze, and saw the silver-haired girl appear in the house.
Gao Cai had obviously talked to Mr. Sakura and knew that Amamiya Ren lived alone. He also wanted to observe her living conditions when he came to talk to her. Unexpectedly, he encountered a "surprise".
Amamiya Ren had a blank expression on her face, thinking about how to explain Lavenda's origins to the editor.
(There is another chapter to come)
Dry weather: 035. Play less games and write more
(Written before the main text: There is no "brother" in this book. In this world view, she is just a poor girl whose family is divorced due to various reasons.)
A yellow leaf that cannot hold on to the branch, holding its past dreams and carrying the vicissitudes of time, falls slowly from the vast blue sky, dancing lightly in the air, and after twists and turns, it falls in front of me, without the spasm and pain of lost life, as calm and peaceful as when it was alive.
I'm dying.
Death in the sociological sense.
The thought of "to punish Gao Can" flashed through Amamiya Lian's mind, but it was fleeting. All the accidents were due to Lavenda's lack of common sense about human society, just as all the fears were due to insufficient firepower.
Lavenda obviously misjudged the importance of "hiding" requested by Amamiya Ren. She did not quite understand what it meant for a young girl to appear in the home of a man living alone...
This means that Amamiya Ren will be put on the Internet and criticized by the public. The labels of lolita control and juvenile pervert will be attached to him for the rest of his life.
Only a few days had passed from the time they met to the time they lived together, and even if Amamiya Ren was a very capable person, she couldn't teach Lavenda the complex "common sense" in the information age.
