Tokyo Heart Thief's Daily Life

When Luo Zhen finished washing up, changed into casual clothes and returned to the living room.

The Fangze sisters were ready and waiting for him to have breakfast together.

The kitchen of this dilapidated old house has undergone countless renovations. Now the wall of the living room has been broken through, making it a spacious open design and even has a bar rack.

The previous owner may have run a private bar, but it certainly didn't have a license.

Because the only coffee table in the living room was too low, it would be very uncomfortable to eat on the sofa, so Luo Zhen and the two sisters ate together at the narrow bar.

Yoshizawa Sumire cut off a small piece of the fried egg with a knife and fork, chewed it carefully, and swallowed it with her throat moved.

Even such a small movement was as beautiful as a swan, which made Luo Zhen feel that if he took a video of the two sisters eating and posted it online, it would easily get over a million views. The only obstacle between him and financial freedom was his selfish desire to monopolize their beauty.

And think differently.

Obviously, the way they eat every day is worth millions of views, but now I have it exclusively for myself. Isn't it the same as getting millions of free triple-fives every day?

Thinking of this, Luo Zhen suddenly felt a sense of luxury as if he had made a fortune. He felt that he was the happiest person in the world.

The virtuous Gemini sister had no idea what Luo Zhen was thinking about, otherwise she would have pounced on him and bit him in ecstasy.

Fang Zejin lightly covered her lips, her bright eyes glancing towards the second floor:

"Senior Luo Zhen, do you need me to wake Miss Taoxiang up? If she doesn't come to eat, the breakfast will get cold."

Momoka is Luo Zhen's roommate, and her full name is Kawaharaki Momoka.

She is 20 years old and unemployed.

I call myself an independent musician and currently live a wonderful life as a Tokyo drifter (outsiders coming to Tokyo to work) working part-time to earn rent.

"No need." Luo Zhen shook his head and replied:

"Last night, she got into another argument with another band that was trying to grab their territory. She even gave them the finger and challenged them. I had to carry her on my back for over half an hour to avoid being chased. Then she thought it was a victory and insisted on having a celebration party. And then, as expected, she got drunk."

"She's on the same shift as me today, so I'll wake her up later. Just put her breakfast in the refrigerator. I'm sorry to bother you all the time."

Yoshizawa Sumire squinted her eyes cutely:

"No, I just wanted to make breakfast for Luo Zhen-senpai... and Momoka-san. After all, she's your roommate, and my sister and I bother her every day, so this is just the etiquette we should have."

At such a young age, she already knows how to get along with neighbors. My good sister is really outstanding... Luo Zhen inexplicably feels like treating them as his own sisters.

But in fact, even if we don’t mention the fact that Luo Zhen is only one year older than the twin sisters, they have only known each other for three months.

That was when Luo Zhen just returned to Tokyo, and the year digit had just increased by one.

At that time, all the students were enjoying the New Year holidays.

But as professional athletes, the Fangze sisters started their training schedule early and trained every day in the severe cold.

It was on an exceptionally cold and rainy day that Luo Zhen, who was passing by, saved Sumire Yoshizawa who was almost hit by a truck, and that was how he met the two sisters.

Come to think of it, I had just returned to Tokyo.

He also plans to retire from his career as a phantom thief and become a harmless citizen.

How come he turned around and did something so eye-catching...

But no matter how much he complained, Luo Zhen couldn't just watch the young and cute girl being knocked to pieces in front of him, so he still had to be a hero and save the girl.

At this moment, my sister, Yoshizawa Kasumi, who was chewing on toast and browsing her phone, exclaimed, "Ah!"

"The Phantom Thief Request Channel has been updated again, and a trending post has been pushed to the top. ... [My friend is being harassed by the coach during school sports club activities. There's also constant corporal punishment, and the situation is getting worse! Please, Phantom Thief, help me! I'm afraid something even worse will happen when the new semester starts at this rate...] It says this."

Xia read out the contents of the commissioned article in a vivid and moving voice, and her big, round eyes, like acorns, looked at Luo Zhen.

3. Phantom Thief Request Channel

This "Phantom Thief Commission Channel" is an anonymous website that is very popular in niche circles and has been operating for two years.

This website has collected many urban legends over the years, depicting the image of a thief who works as a hero in the underground world.

This thief doesn't steal property, but steals the hearts of bad people.

Let those who do bad things voluntarily surrender themselves or apologize to the victims.

From hit-and-run traffic accidents, to violent gangs committing home invasions, to bullying incidents among students.

It is said that even the corruption and self-seeking problems of high-ranking officials are caused by this phantom thief behind the scenes.

Most people, of course, just treat this outrageous urban legend as a joke.

And on the surface, these social events cannot be linked to a Batman-like story.

But as this urban legend website became more and more popular, many people left messages saying things like "[I was helped by a phantom thief before]" and "[I don't know if it was a phantom thief, but I was indeed saved]", making it seem more and more real.

Even the operator of this website seems to be a very good hacker.

In the past two years, the website has become increasingly popular among young students.

However, it has never been shut down by various network attacks, and this alone is legendary enough.

"..."

Luo Zhen did not meet Fang Zexia's direct gaze, but just quietly chewed the bacon.

But she was still a little unwilling:

"Brother Luo Zhen, do you want to go and help..."

"I've retired." Luo Zhen replied calmly:

"And if I respond to every message, I'll be too busy. Phantom Thieves aren't the objects of prayer. I can't just respond to every prayer, right?"

"That's true..."

After hearing Luo Zhen's answer, Fang Zexia still pouted a little bit in displeasure.

The Yoshizawa sisters all know his identity as a phantom thief.

This is because when he rescued them, he used his supernatural powers and took them to a world where he could steal other people's spirits.

The Fangze sisters had directly witnessed the ways and channels through which he stole hearts, and there was no way to cover it up.

The two sisters admired him not only because he had saved their lives.

To some extent, there is also the excitement of being apart from daily life and coming into contact with an incredible existence.

Luo Zhen just hopes that they can adapt and slowly let go of this excitement.

…But then again, this commission website does have problems.

Luo Zhen stole a few glances at Fang Zexia's phone.

That wasn't a website he boasted about building, it was probably made by a fan without his permission.

But the problem was, he really couldn't remember who he had revealed his identity to.

Although this website lists many incidents that he solved with his ability to steal hearts, it cleverly did a good job of hiding any of his personal information.

This made Luo Zhen unable to tell whether the person who created this website knew his real identity.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, during the period before he retired, he did look for targets from the posts on this website and there was some cooperation.

But now he is planning to retire, so of course he won't care.

It's a miracle that this urban legend has been able to spread for two years. It should naturally fade away in the future.

However, the twin sisters around Luo Zhen don't think so.

"..."

Yoshizawa Sumire, who was sitting on the other side of him, looked back and forth between Luo Zhen and her sister, and noticed the look in her sister's eyes that wanted her to help.

So she clapped her hands and spoke in a light tone:

"A coach harassing students is a truly serious matter! Luckily, my sister and I have a beautiful coach, so we don't have to worry about this kind of issue... But if we had a male coach, maybe we wouldn't have chosen the path of gymnastics~!"

"That's right~!" Fang Zexia immediately chimed in:

"This is the fate of those who make a feint to the east and attack in the west! Seeing such a pitiful plea for help, I feel the same way. When I think about it happening to us, I really want to die... Aa ...

When Fang Zexia was talking nonsense, Luo Zhen knocked her on the head, making her cover her head in a cute way.

Luo Zhen replied calmly:

"That's not called 'making a feint to the east and attacking in the west', you mean 'missing the mark by a hair's breadth', right? Seriously, even if you're a special athlete, Xia, your academic performance shouldn't be too bad. How many subjects did you fail on the entrance exam?"

"Huh? What are the different subjects for failing a course (???)?"

Fang Zexia covered her head and asked back with her big innocent eyes that had never been polluted by knowledge.

This made Luo Zhen and her sister speechless and they really couldn't do anything about this stupid sister.

The two sisters look so similar.

But after spending a little time with them, you will find that there are still huge differences between them.

At least unlike her sister who is extremely unbalanced in her academic performance, Sumire Yoshizawa not only has good grades in gymnastics, but also performs at an above-average level in academic subjects. She is a well-rounded hexagonal top student.

Unfortunately, Luo Zhen's interruption failed to change the topic.

The two sisters did not discuss the issue of grades any further, but just looked at Luo Zhen silently with their two pairs of big, glowing ruby-like eyes.

This put Luo Zhen under a lot of pressure, and he inexplicably felt like he had done something wrong.

"...We don't mean to force Luo Zhen."

In the end, Fang Zexia took the initiative to surrender, and her delicate little hand touched Luo Zhen's thigh.

Her actions are somewhat ambiguous and can easily lead men to misunderstanding.

But in Luo Zhen's case, this was no misunderstanding.

She leaned lightly on Luo Zhen's shoulder, her voice full of satisfaction:

"To me and Sumire, you will always be a hero, Luo Zhen. Although we don't know why you want to retire, we are always willing to listen when you are willing to talk."

Her younger sister Sumire Yoshizawa also nodded heavily and held Luo Zhen's arm tightly.

Her voice was more forceful than her sister's.

It was as if he wanted to reveal his innermost feelings to Luo Zhen.

"If it weren't for Senior Luo Zhen saving me, I would definitely be dead now. No matter what you decide to do, my sister and I will always support you! ... And if possible, we also want to be your home..."

Yoshizawa Kasumi: "Ah~ Sumire's face is so red, it's become like a tomato?(?＞?＜)☆"

Sister Xie immediately switched to joking mode and was chased around the bar by her twin sisters. It was lively and heartwarming early in the morning.

Luo Zhen smiled with relief, and in fact he was really enjoying this moment.

"...But even if I continue to be a heart-stealing thief, will that really change society for the better?"

Luo Zhen looked at the messages that kept popping up on his phone. There were still countless young people who were keen on this legend posting on the Phantom Thief Commission channel.

He mixed his messy thoughts into the poached eggs on the plate and took a bite.

The half-cooked egg yolk flows onto the tip of the tongue, stained with the taste of the girls' favor.

4. Do you like the daughter of an older hot girl?

After having breakfast with the Yoshizawa sisters, Luo Zhen took them to the training room.

The sisters' home is near Shibuya, and it's quite far to get to the shabby house that Luo Zhen rents.

But they still insisted on visiting every morning and took the initiative to provide breakfast and wake-up services, which made Luo Zhen feel embarrassed.

So even if it was just to repay a favor, Luo Zhen decided to pick up and drop off the two sisters on time every day no matter how busy he was at work.

In this way, a tacit understanding that satisfies both parties is formed.

The two sisters were always very happy every time they walked with Luo Zhen, and Luo Zhen, who held flowers in his hands, would always be looked at with envy and jealousy by passers-by.

But considering that this could also drive away some bad guys and prevent stalkers from pestering them, Luo Zhen deliberately acted more fashionable.

After arriving downstairs at the training room, Luo Zhen watched the two sisters enter before leaving.

Seeing that it was still early, he went to buy some ingredients for dinner.
