Whose personality mask's power comes from the heroic spirit?

Taichi quickly headed to the place where Kasumi and Rachel had been hiding before.

Pulling up Kasumi and Rachel, who had their eyes tightly closed and whose trust in him was as high as 90 points, Taichi changed into the personality mask of 'Achilles' again, and then summoned the chariot and drove it into the sky.

The chariot could not accommodate three people, but it didn’t matter. Taiyi handed the reins to Xia and sat on the back of Shenma.

From below came the exclamations of the guards.

"Was your action just now a bit too provocative?" Rachel leaned on the edge of the chariot, glanced at the castle below, then looked at Taiyi and asked.

"What a joke! When we sneaked into the castle, the provocation was already high." Taiyi replied with a curl of his lips.

"You make sense." Rachel rubbed her nose and shrank back, "But do we have to stop so high?"

"It's freezing and snowy, and we're still so high up in the sky... Ah, Ah--!" Rachel sneezed violently, "I, I can't stand the cold."

"Rachel, come and squeeze in with me." Xia opened one arm and extended her embrace to Rachel. "I have received strict professional training and have a very high tolerance for freezing. Although my body surface temperature may not be very high, if we squeeze in, we should be able to squeeze out some temperature."

Taiyi simply took off his coat and threw it to Rachel.

"Take mine first. It's quite warm."

Huddled together with Xia, and then putting on the coat that Taiyi threw to her, Rachel felt a little relieved from the cold.

Taiyi was still not idle. He tried to use his divine power to condense a warm ball of fire to add a little warmth to the environment around Rachel and Xia.

In order to avoid disturbing the Shenma, Taiyi deliberately placed the fireball in an area far away from the Shenma.

"Huh - my body temperature has risen." Rachel sighed with a long sigh, "I've been to the iceberg before to defeat the devil. But even that iceberg wasn't as cold as the temperature I just felt."

"…Maybe it's because of the interference of idealistic forces." Taiyi looked at the castle below and explained, "This is the palace, a personal area formed by the twisted wishes of the palace master."

"If the hall master himself is the type who is cold both inside and outside, then the perception constructed in his subconscious mind is naturally cold as well. Sometimes, being cold to the heart may be more than just a saying."

"The coldness of idealistic power?" Rachel tilted her head in confusion, then turned to look at Xia, "You have even received special training on the coldness of idealistic power?"

"Ah no...this..." Xia herself didn't know how to explain it.

After listening to Taichi talk about the characteristics of the environment inside the hall, she felt that what she learned from the ninja village was a little beyond the norm.

Can that thing withstand even the power of idealism?

The three fireballs circled around Rachel and Xia, raising the temperature inside the three fireballs to above zero degrees.

Rachel could handle this level of temperature.

She even took the initiative to let go of Xia's arms.

There was no way around it. When they were holding Xia, both of them were breathing a little heavily.

The flesh around the heart and lungs is too thick, but the men they have now love it.

……

After waiting for an unknown amount of time, there was a sudden commotion among the guards, whose vigilance had been greatly increased.

Immediately afterwards, Mordred initiated a communication request to Taichi from the internal meeting.

[“Thanks to the other world navigation app of Yukinoshita Yukino and Yuigahama Yui, Akane and I also got in! Where are you now?” Mordred asked, “Although I can protect them, one sword can’t stop too many enemies. I may not be able to hold on for long.”

"Look up, we're almost there!"]

With lightning, the chariot suddenly accelerated.

Taiyi drove the chariot and rushed towards the source of the chaos.

Mordred's figure was extremely conspicuous among the guards.

And the person behind her who was tightly surrounded by her naturally came into Taiyi's sight.

Driving the chariot, Taichi separated the guards from Mordred and the others.

"Taiyi!" Xin Tiao Qian looked at Taiyi on the horse with surprise.

But then, Xia and Rachel, who jumped off the chariot and stood in front of them to protect them, attracted her attention.

"Taiyi, are these two... your friends?" Due to time constraints, Xin Tiao Qian couldn't help but ask before she had the chance to ask Taiyi where he had disappeared for the past ten days.

"Now is not the time to talk about this." Taichi asked the chariot to leave the scene temporarily, waved the spear in his hand, turned his head and glanced at Yukinoshita Yukino, "Yukinoshita, Yuigahama, now is the time, open the door and take us out."

"It's already being done!" Yukinoshita Yukino responded while lowering her head and operating the mobile phone in her hand.

"Huh? Aren't we going to explore this place?" Yuigahama Yui asked with a blink.

Chapter 4: Xin Tiao Qian: What? You are the emperor?

"It's out!" Back in the alley, Yuigahama Yui raised her hands and cheered.

Then Yukinoshita Yukino used a knife to calm Yuigahama Yui down.

“Yui, don’t yell here.” Yukino Yukinoshita leaned close to Yuigahama Yui’s ear and whispered, “If you disturb the owner here, it won’t be solved by just apologizing.”

"Um--I'm sorry." Yuigahama Yui lowered her head and apologized to Yukinoshita Yukino in a low voice.

"Anyway, let's leave here first." Yukinoshita Yukino turned her head to look at Akane Shinjo and Mordred who were extremely happy to meet each other, as well as Taichi and the two women standing not far behind him... whose figures were indeed a little too abnormal.

"It's bigger than my sister's... How can a person be that big..."

But then she turned around and looked at her friend...if she waited a few more years, Yui wouldn't become like that, right?

"Ah? What?" Although Yuigahama Yui heard Yukinoshita Yukino seemed to say something, it was too vague and she didn't hear clearly what she said.

"No, there's nothing. Call Shinjo and the others and leave quickly." Yukinoshita Yukino shook her head, then took the initiative to walk towards Shinjo Akane.

Meanwhile, Akane Shinjo has already handed over the cell phone containing Aix's name and the earphones for communication to Taiyi.

"Aix, let Jeanne tell you about our experiences these days." Taiyi tapped the headset and made the first contact with his long-lost partner.

Although the content of the contact was to ask him to ask someone else.

By the way, let him connect with Xin Tiao Qian online, one by one, one by one, and Mordred, and listen to Jeanne d'Arc telling the story of the past two hundred days in the mental meeting.

As for Taichi, he had to take Yukinoshita and the others and get away as soon as possible.

After all, this is the villa of the Shinomiya family. Not to mention the surveillance cameras in the dark, no one knows whether the bodyguards will patrol at regular intervals.

It's better to leave this place as soon as possible.

……

8:30 pm, at a fast food chain restaurant somewhere in Hong Kong.

Carrying two fully loaded trays, Taiyi returned to a corner where everyone was temporarily gathered.

Yukino Yukinoshita and Yuigahama Yui sat on the inside of the sofa, while Akane Shinjo was on the outside.

Sitting opposite were Xia and Rachel, while Mordred sat outside with an expressionless face.

Both sofas were full of people, so Taiyi could only take the plastic stool from the waiter and place it next to the table.

"So, Taiyi, during the ten days you disappeared from Earth, you actually spent 240 days in another world?" Xin Tiao Qian still found it hard to accept this news. "And you also unified that other world, established an empire, and became the emperor..."

Ten days... Although ten days had indeed passed, considering the chaotic timeline of this world, Taiyi was not sure how many days had passed in these 'ten days'. Even if he thought boldly, it was not impossible that several years had passed.

"It's a little too early to talk about unification." Taiyi waved his hand with a humble expression, "There are rebels who are dissatisfied with my rule. In addition, there are many areas that have not been explored, so it's still too early to talk about unifying the world."

"This Miss Rachel here said that after you became emperor, you held a large-scale beauty pageant and established three palaces, six courtyards and seventy-two concubines?"

"This number is a bit exaggerated." Taiyi glared at Rachel, then turned around and explained, "But it's about the same."

"...So amazing." Yuigahama Yui exclaimed with a complicated expression.

I just don't know whether she was lamenting that Taiyi unified the world in just over two hundred days, or that he established such a large court.

"Should I call you His Majesty the Emperor now?" Xin Tiao Qian's tone was a little sarcastic.

"Hey, what's our relationship? Why call me Your Majesty? If you really feel bad, you can just call me Brother Taiyi. When we return to the new country, I will promote you to a princess." Taiyi waved his hand pretending to be relaxed.

"Princess..." Yuigahama Yui, who had a bit of a princess dream, looked at Akane Shinjo with envy.

"I suggest you think about how to appease Kurosawa Aise first." Shinjo Akane pouted, then reminded, "Don't forget, that's the person you had a proper ghost marriage with."

"...I was forced. By the way, hasn't Kurosawa Aise become a Buddha yet?" Taichi scratched his head, looked at Shinjo Akane helplessly and asked.

"No." Shinjo Akane shook her head and replied, "On the contrary, she even reached some kind of agreement with Iwanaga Kotoko. Anyway, they have been hanging out together these past few days."

"Become a Buddha..." Xia touched her shoulder, then looked at Taiyi, "If your majesty intends to let that Kurosawa Fengshi become a Buddha, you can ask Hongye to come over. If Hongye and I join forces, we should be able to help the ghost become a Buddha."

"Ah, no, forget it." Taiyi waved his hand and declined, "Kurosawa Aise is not someone you can handle. Besides, she's not a ghost... at least not now."

After all, the Night Spring Water can, in a sense, allow qualified people to remain in an ambiguous state between life and death, and allow the other party to maintain a vibrant state after leaving the Night Spring Water.

An alternative everlasting flower.

"Speaking of which, how are Kurosawa Mika and the others doing now?" Taiyi looked at Shinjo Akane and asked.

"Since you disappeared, Iwanaga Kotoko has brought them all over in one go. She didn't tell me where they were assigned to." Shinjo Akane shook her head and replied, "I can't contact them now."

To sum up, in the ten days after Taiyi disappeared, everyone was doing their own things.

Unless it is some clues about Taiyi, we might exchange some ideas.

There is no cohesion at all...

However, considering their respective positions, this cohesion does not seem to be necessary.

"However, the fame of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts is really growing." Taichi looked up at the news about the rumors about the Phantom Thieves of Hearts that was being broadcast not far away.

Even though he was teleported to another world, the rumors about the Phantom Thieves of Hearts were only circulated within the school.

As a result, after ten days, the reputation of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts had even affected the TV news and spread to the port area.

"Well, it's probably at the level of an urban legend now." Having finally heard a topic that she could understand, Yuigahama Yui quickly took over the conversation.

"Come to think of it, it seems like you two are now members of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts, right?" Taichi looked at Yukinoshita Yukino and Yuigahama Yui, "How is your operation going?"

Chapter 5 Yukinoshita Yukino: I suspect you are targeting me

"No, are you sure you want to ask such a sensitive topic in a place like this?" Yukinoshita Yukino stopped Yuigahama Yui, who was extremely eager to speak, and asked back with a glare at Taichi.

"Okay, okay, it's my bad." Taiyi looked around and saw that, including his group, there were less than ten people sitting in the fast food restaurant, sitting in groups of three or four.

One of them was even a lazy waiter.

"Thank you so much for opening the door this time." Taiyi changed the subject, "When you have time in the future, you are always welcome to visit my new country."

"Huh? Can you still travel back and forth between Earth and the other world?" Yukinoshita Yukino looked at Taichi in surprise and asked.

"Yes," Taiyi nodded and replied, "As long as we set up another door on Earth, we can travel back and forth between the two worlds at any time."

"However, I haven't decided where to set up the other door yet." Taichi shook his head and sighed, "Although Itomori Town is a good place, it's too far from Tokyo."

"And if it's set in Tokyo, it's a mess here, and I'm really worried that something will go wrong with this door one day."

Being indecisive about something is not a good thing.

Yukinoshita Yukino hesitated for a moment, then took out her cell phone and found Yukinoshita Haruno's cell phone number from the contact book.

"I'm not very good at this kind of thing, how about you contact your sister?"

Ah, come to think of it, the Yukinoshita family seems to have started out in the construction industry.

It just so happens that Singapore is currently in need of experts and professional equipment in the construction industry.

If the Yukinoshita family gets involved...

Win-win!

It’s just that the early stage of personnel selection will be more difficult.

Taiyi narrowed his eyes and carefully calculated the possible consequences of doing this.

Then he took Yukinoshita Yukino's phone and called Yukinoshita Haruno's phone.

"Moshimoshi - Kawaii's younger sister suddenly remembered to call her older sister. Did she finally realize how reliable her older sister is?"

"I'm sorry to disappoint you." Taichi glanced at his phone, "I'm Naruto, Naruto Taichi."

"...Taichi-san, why is my sister's phone in your hands?" Yukinoshita Haruno's tone suddenly became serious.

"Because Yukino-san was sitting next to me." Taiyi replied, "She was the one who took the initiative to give me your contact information so that I could communicate with you."

"Hey--"

"It's hard to explain in detail over the phone, let's talk in person." Taichi ignored Yukinoshita Haruno's long-winded complaints and planned to hang up the phone after agreeing on a time and place to meet. "This is a multiple-choice question about the future path and achievements of the Yukinoshita family."
