But before he could figure out how to take advantage of the great writer's popularity, rose-like bright colors quietly bloomed beside him, accompanied by an extremely tempting fragrance.

When he looked away from the screen, he saw the first-year girl who had gained a very high reputation in Shujin right after entering school.

Yoshizawa Kasumi was looking into Kurusu Akatsuki's eyes curiously.

When Kurusu Akatsuki looked up and met her gaze, the girl's expression immediately paused. Then, she lowered her face and bowed to him earnestly to apologize, "Sorry! I kept you waiting for so long!"

Fang Zexia is a very polite child. Even if she accidentally touches someone else's water bottle and stationery on the table, she will stop and apologize to the person she disturbed with a sincere and guilty-feeling apology, even if it is just a small and insignificant matter.

Even Kurusu Akatsuki would occasionally admire this girl who was "consistent inside and out".

Sometimes when I see Yoshizawa Kasumi on the tram, I find that she is always willing to give up her seat to the elderly who have no seats or mothers with children, or boldly protest to passengers who occupy seats.

Even when no one is supervising her, she always maintains this frank and enthusiastic attitude towards life.

The only drawback is that she is a bit too bold...

Kurusu Akatsuki looked at Yoshizawa Kasumi, who was almost pressed against his chest and did not hide the admiration in her expression at all, and it was as if he suddenly received a willpower judgment of up to 10 points.

When Fang Zexia went out, she wore a simple athletic T-shirt and shorts, revealing her slender, pale arms and thighs. Her rose-red hair was tied into a thin ponytail, revealing her small ears and a neck so slender it could be held in one hand. As she walked toward the sun, her skin was dazzlingly pale, and a sweet, endearing smile graced her beautiful face. It was like a master painter's carefully considered, subtle curve, imbued with an immature sensuality and an innocence untouched by society... a portrait that captured the youthful, boundless yearning for love.

At such a close distance, one could fully feel the girl's impeccable slender figure, which was perfect due to long-term gymnastics practice. Below her fair neck was the delicate outline of her collarbone like a butterfly's wings. If one moved his gaze downwards without hesitation, one could see most of the fabric and laces of her white underwear, which she exposed to Kurusu Akatsuki without any precautions. The rose-like fragrance lingered around Kurusu Akatsuki's nose, as if constantly tempting him to do something criminal with the girl in front of him.

The metaphor must be used here because he was very sure that Yoshizawa Kasumi would never resist the relationship between him and her moving beyond the scope of "friends" and developing into something deeper.

If the Phantom Thief's willpower had not been close to MAX, which represents the limit of human beings, he would probably have been captured on the spot by the younger schoolgirl's terrifying charm.

Fang Zexia, you are such a sinful woman.

Kurusu Akatsuki sighed inwardly, then calmly supported her shoulders and said, "I told you, there's no need to apologize to me for such a small matter."

Yoshizawa Kasumi blinked and looked up at Kurusu Akatsuki with great respect, "Senior, you are truly a tolerant and generous person."

It turns out that when a girl loves you unconditionally, you really feel her gaze burning on your face like a burning flame.

However, Kurusu Akatsuki did not waver at all. Rather than a momentary impulse, he preferred to trust his intuition - his intuition told him that if he accepted Yoshizawa Kasumi's feelings right then and there, he would miss out on many equally important things.

The Phantom Thief said calmly, "Is Yoshizawa-san's house nearby?"

"Yes." Seeing Kurusu Akatsuki's calm look, Yoshizawa Kasumi's expression became more respectful, and she even put away some of her smile and answered him very seriously.

"I need to find a place to park my car, can you help me?"

"No problem! My garage is in my house, you can use it as you like!"

"Then your car..."

"Senior, it's no problem! Father is very generous, he definitely won't mind someone using his parking space!"

As Yoshizawa Kasumi spoke, she boldly took Kurusu Akatsuki's sleeve and followed him to the side of the road. "Hmm... this is the new motorcycle that senior mentioned in Line. It's very domineering!"

Yoshizawa Kasumi is a magical girl, with elegant manners, frank and enthusiastic, a sense of justice and full of compassion, polite and likes to praise others... This is not right, she seems to be praising Kurusu Akatsuki most of the time.

Kurusu Akatsuki remembered the last time he casually posted a screenshot of his gaming achievements, and the girl would admire him and praise him with "Senior, you are so awesome" and then immediately follow up with "Senior, I have never played video games before, can you take me to try it in the future?" or "Senior, do you have time to play video games with me?"

In the Phantom Thief's impression, only Lavenda would give him this kind of almost doting, unconditional care and recognition.

Now he somewhat understood why he had wavered just now——

Why is it LaVenda meal replacement again?

Is there no woman in human society who is more perfect than Lavenda?!

The thief's inner cry was deafening.

......

In the Velvet Room, after hearing the voice of her contractor, Lavenda let out a sweet laugh while lying on the desk.

Just like Philemon always chooses assistants that completely suit his preferences for the contractors of the Velvet Room.

Isn't He also looking for lifelong soul mates for His loyal employees?

Lavenda harbors a love beyond human imagination for this contractor who is destined to accompany her until the sea of ​​her heart dries up and even the world collapses.

......

Fifteen minutes later.

"I'm back!" Fang Zexia's voice is as full of uplifting energy and enthusiasm as ever.

"Welcome back..." Mr. Yoshizawa, who was preparing dinner in the kitchen, suddenly stopped talking.

Mr. Fangze felt a little devastated when he saw his eldest daughter, who had gone out again after four hours, brought back a sloppy-looking boy.

This collapse reached its peak the moment he saw Kurusu Akatsuki's face clearly, and his entire heart was shattered into pieces.

"Amamiya Ren!" Mr. Yoshizawa, who had gained weight due to his intense work, almost roared in a low voice, "Why are you in my house?!"

As the current head of the publicity and promotion department of Atlus Idol Agency, he personally signed the high school student on the street last night on behalf of the agency with the highest salary.

Unexpectedly, just half a day later, the new employee brought his daughter home.

Mr. Yoshizawa, who is respected by countless artists, is really feeling dizzy at this moment.

Faced with the middle-aged man's loss of composure at the moment when his happiness was fleeting, Yoshizawa Kasumi showed a serious expression that she had never shown in front of Kurusu Akatsuki.

I saw her with her hands on her hips, teaching the other person a lesson very seriously.

"Father! Don't lose the courtesy of the Fangze family!"

Mr. Fangze was struck by lightning. He stood there in a daze, looking at his eldest daughter in disbelief. This was certainly not the first time he was scolded by Fangze Xia, but this time, considering the boy next to her, he just felt panicked.

Kurusu Akatsuki looked at the head of the firm in front of him whose momentum was shrinking, and a subtle sense of relief flowed through his heart.

At this time, light footsteps were heard in the corridor on one side.

A voice very similar to Yoshizawa Kasumi's, accompanied by a pretty girl with almost identical appearance, walked into the living room, "Sister, are there any guests?"

When she saw Kurusu Akatsuki, she immediately shrank her neck and said timidly, "It's Amamiya-senpai."

Fang Zexia immediately looked over and said in a much softer tone, "Jin, bring out the watermelon! Don't be like your father, forgetting the etiquette of the Fangze family's hospitality!"

Compared to her twin sister, Sumire Yoshizawa seems a bit introverted and not good at expressing her true feelings. She is also more dependent on the instructions and orders of others.

She tiptoed into the kitchen and looked at her father with a pitiful look. He was leaning in the corner, staring at the ceiling in disbelief and muttering all kinds of curses that no one could understand. "Dad, move aside. You're blocking the refrigerator."

"Jin..." The middle-aged man called out his little daughter's name in a daze.

"It's no use asking me for help. Even my mother will scold you severely when she comes home for neglecting guests." Yoshizawa Sumire belatedly remembered to use honorifics.

By the time the Yoshizawa sisters' mother returned home, the TV in the living room was already on, playing an unnamed cartoon. Her adorable daughters sat on the sofa, sandwiched between them by a handsome, eccentric boy. The three of them were chatting and laughing, seemingly discussing some interesting incident at school.

"Xia, Sumire, would you like to introduce this person?"

The woman asked gently, and then a shrill, hungry ghost-like voice came from the kitchen, "Amamiya Ren, she's a second-year student at the same school as them."

"I heard Kasumi and Sumire talking about him last time when I took them to school. He's the 'legendary transfer student who scored 200 points ahead on the opening exam,' right?" The woman admired Kurusu Akatsuki's unkempt appearance, seemingly unconcerned with his appearance. "He seems like a good kid."

Although he is unkempt, his academic performance is outstanding, which means that Kurusu Akatsuki must be too focused on his studies and neglect his personal life. At the same time, he does not rely on his good looks and academic status to do things that even adults would find absurd like other boys of the same age.

At first glance, he is a simple, sensible and sensible child.

Mr. Fangze's tone was almost filled with resentment, "Good boy? He is clearly..."

Mrs. Fangze responded with a calm look, which immediately made the middle-aged man shut up timidly.

Mr. Fangze, a successful man in his career, fears three things most in his life: his eldest daughter's lessons, his wife's scolding, and his youngest daughter's tears.

Mrs. Yoshizawa looked at the watermelon rinds in the living room trash can and smiled even kinder. "Amamiya-san?"

Kurusu Akatsuki, who was chatting with Yoshizawa Kasumi and Yoshizawa Sumire, looked up and said, "Hello, Auntie?"

Is the word "Auntie" something you can use? Mr. Fangze, who was cutting vegetables, turned around suddenly, his eyes almost popping out!

"It's okay, don't worry about me," Mrs. Fangze waved her hands quickly, "I just wanted to ask you if you want to have dinner before leaving. My husband has been simmering beef ribs in the pot for a long time. My daughters have gymnastics practice, so they will eat less for dinner. I'm worried that there will be no one..."

"I don't want to." The person who spoke was Mr. Fangze in the kitchen.

Mrs. Fangze turned around and glared at him, and the powerful head of the publicity and promotion department immediately dared not say a word.

He could only glare at Kurusu Akatsuki lying on the sofa, hoping that she would quickly understand the look in the eyes of her "boss" and get out of her house quickly.

Kurusu Akatsuki, however, gave a polite smile as if oblivious, and bowed earnestly towards Madam Yoshizawa. "Thank you very much for your kindness, but I have a part-time job to do tonight, so I won't bother you any more."

"Get out of here, get out of here!" Mr. Yoshizawa looked at Kurusu Akatsuki nervously.

The thief who had finished eating half a watermelon was already walking towards the entrance with satisfaction. Yoshizawa Kasumi quickly stood up to see him off.

Such an action made Mr. Fangze's heart sink to the bottom.

......

He quickly leaned close to his wife's ear and spoke nervously.

"Xia's eyes are almost glued to him..."

Mrs. Fangze said calmly, "I can see that my daughter's first love is a child with excellent character and academic performance. It's a good thing that they can learn from each other."

Mr. Yoshizawa was about to refute her, but he found that he knew very little about "Amamiya Ren".

All he knew about the boy was that he had outstanding academic performance, good looks, and was very busy with many part-time jobs.

There doesn't seem to be anything worth criticizing.

So he gave up in disappointment.

I can only imagine that in the future I will severely squeeze the other person's available time in the office, and then... then I will probably see my daughter coming up to me with a distressed look on her face to ask about my well-being.

When Fangze thought of this, his heart seemed to ache violently.

The door closed, and Yoshizawa Sumire, lying on the sofa, suddenly felt that the content playing on TV was a bit boring.

After all, she is a little girl in adolescence. She would definitely rather chat with the super handsome guy who is a big shot in the school than to watch cartoons at any time.

Finally, he stood up with a lack of interest and returned to his room in his slippers.

*

"It seems a bit rude to visit without a gift this time."

In the elevator of the apartment building, Kurusu Akatsuki and Yoshizawa Kasumi said this.

Fang Zexia thought about it, then said carefully, "It's okay, I can make it up to you next time..."

Kurusu Akatsuki could tell there was something else going on in the girl's words, but he pretended not to understand. "Thank you very much for your hospitality this time."

Fang Zexia pursed her lips and looked down at the tip of her shoes with a bit of disappointment. She said in a frustrated and unwilling tone, "I should be the one thanking you, Senior... You helped me a lot."

Kurusu Akatsuki hesitated to speak, and in the end did not dare to correct her.

Just looking at the slender figure reflected in the elevator door in front of me, I couldn't help but think, Kurusu Akatsuki, you are really a sinful man -

The elevator quickly became quiet.

After a while, the elevator door opened and two people walked out of the apartment building one after the other.

Before leaving, the Phantom Thief got on his motorcycle, which was parked in the Yoshizawa family's parking space, and looked at Yoshizawa Kasumi beside him. "My band has a performance tomorrow afternoon at the South Exit Shopping Street in Shimokitazawa. Do you want to come and see it?"

The girl, who had been looking depressed, almost immediately smiled. "Is the senior's band performing? No problem! Please let me know the time when you do!"

Kurusu Akatsuki waved to her and rode his beloved horse out of the garage.

Leaving behind a girl with a face full of longing and joy.

-

[After receiving a warm welcome, the Phantom Thief's favorability towards Yoshizawa Kasumi increased significantly.]

[The Phantom Thief thought about his "date" with Toyokawa Shoko tomorrow.]

The Phantom Thief's sense of guilt increased slightly.

-

After returning to Leblanc, Kurusu Akatsuki immediately took out his cell phone and contacted the girls of the Phantom Thieves in the secret communication room that Sakura Futaba helped build.

Millionaire (Kurisu Akatsuki): Can we meet at the entrance to Shujin at 8pm? I've found the true spiritual palace of Xin Ma Xiaolian.

Pleia: Yes, Sir!

[It's the God of Working (Toyokawa Shoko): Got it.]

Kumamon (Isai Renna): How should I tell Mr. Sakura that I'm going out at 8 pm...?

【Millionaire: Let me explain it to you.】

Kumamon: Well... I want to study. Can I not go this time?
