Tokyo Heart Thief's Daily Life

He walked forward and hooked his arm around Luo Zhen's shoulders to show his affection.

The cat Morgana also had an "I understand" expression on his face and patted Luo Zhen's legs to comfort him.

The three girls next to them also formed a small group and whispered to the boys.

Gao Juanxing looked puzzled. "Is this something that needs to be so touching? How much does Luo Zhenjun really want to have friends?"

"Well...senpai is like this."

Sumire Yoshizawa seemed to be showing off her boyfriend (in fact, she was showing off her boyfriend), and complained with a fake happy face:

"Don't be fooled by the fact that Senior is reliable in everything he does, handsome, capable, gentle and considerate, and can be said to be the best man in the world. ...But he's actually quite sensitive inside. He once thought about retiring from his job as a phantom thief because he felt so lonely."

"And he won't say anything."

Fang Zexia chimed in, "If we hadn't accidentally discovered his identity, he would have kept it a secret from anyone. He wouldn't even have a friend to talk to!"

"He's got so many secrets in his heart, and everyone's just superficial friends. He doesn't even have a single person he can confide in... This feeling of being broken is so adorable~! I really want to imprison him and train him to be a pet whose mind is solely focused on me!"

Yoshizawa Sumire/Takamaki An: "[I totally understand~! (?? ? ??)]"

The three women in a play were holding hands, shouting and dancing.

The penetrating sound made the men's group next door (or two men and a cat) feel extremely disgusted, and they quietly distanced themselves from it.

Knowing that the twins and Luo Zhen had a good relationship, Sakamoto Ryuji patted his shoulder sympathetically.

"Well, boss, you've worked so hard... Don't worry, brother, I'll support you all my life. If you have nowhere to go in the future, come stay at my house. My mom and I will treat you well!"

"Yeah. Thank you, Ryuji."

Sometimes, it's nice to have a space where only men exist.

Luo Zhen exchanged punches with him, and everything was said without words.

-------------------------------------

After that, the six-member team steadily advanced towards the Palace of the Gods, relying mainly on their familiarity with each other's abilities.

Unlike Sumire's palace, Kamoshida's palace has been in shape for at least several years, and its depth and breadth are incomparable.

Fortunately, they are not in a hurry. Everyone just needs to prioritize exploring their own potential and learning how to use the power of the personality mask.

After observing for a while, Luo Zhen came to some preliminary conclusions:

"Ryuji, and Kasumi and Sumire. Each of your personality aspects has its own strengths, and you are all good at physical attacks. Ryuji, in particular, is best suited for taking on direct attacks."

"Oh~! So you're called a special attack captain, right? That's just what I want!"

The extremely energetic biker gang pioneer, waving the water pipe in his hand, rushed into the shadow pile with his personality mask and smashed it all.

Those who awaken their personality masks will have their physical abilities greatly enhanced in the other world, gaining superhuman mobility.

Everyone's increase is different, and Long Si has particularly increased his strength.

Kasumi and Sumire, just like their real-life strengths, excel in agility and speed.

What's more, they have such a tacit understanding with each other that it's like they can read each other's minds. They can coordinate each other's actions without saying anything. To outsiders, it's as gorgeous as a double gymnastics combination.

"And I discovered that this can indeed be used for training!"

Xia's eyes lit up with excitement. "In this other world, my physical abilities have become even stronger. I can do many things that are difficult to do in reality! I don't have to worry about falling, and my physical strength is inexhaustible. It feels great!"

"Hey Sumire, why don't we all train here from now on? We can bring our coach in too, and have her awaken her Persona as well. That would definitely be twice the result with half the effort, right?"

Yoshizawa Sumire sighed, "Calm down, sister. I understand your feelings, but you shouldn't let this kind of thing spread around, right? There are already six members in the Phantom Thieves, and I think that's enough."

Indeed, Luo Zhen agreed with Jin's idea.

The secret of the Phantom Thieves really shouldn't be expanded any further, otherwise the risk will be too high.

So far, everyone in this group has been involved in trouble passively.

Luo Zhen still didn't understand the specific dissemination mechanism of the navigation app. He just hoped that after solving the problem of Kamoshida's temple, he could stop the app from spreading further.

"Come to think of it, Captain, don't you have a navigation app yet?"

Takamaki An burned the surrounding shadows into charcoal and turned back to ask Luo Zhen.

As the first person besides Luo Zhen to awaken her personality mask, Takamaki An possesses considerable firepower.

Although her physical ability increase is not high, the power of her personality mask is very strong. Like Luo Zhen's "Eros", it is a fire type.

In response to Xing's question, Luo Zhen just shook his head:

"It's not there yet. I check my phone every day, but there's no navigation app."

This is not something that Fang Zexia deliberately concealed, Luo Zhen really did not do that.

He was also very confused and couldn't understand how this APP was spread.

If it is said that anyone who is hostile to Kamoshida will have it, then Luo Zhen has taken the initiative to cause so much trouble to Kamoshida, but this APP still has not appeared. It is very confusing.

But this is not a big deal, Luo Zhen didn't take it to heart:

"Anyway, we'll find out after we conquer this temple. Morgana, I'll be counting on your assistance."

"Oh, leave it to us!"

As the only experienced personality mask user besides Luo Zhen, Morgana can basically be regarded as the deputy leader.

Although it looks like a strange cat like a mascot, this is, after all, a different world where thoughts determine matter.

Its small body also contains great energy, and it can easily chop down the shadow with a toy-like plastic machete.

Moreover, its personality mask ability is also very rare, it is the ability to heal others.

It's amazing that the damage other people suffered from Shadow's attacks can be repaired by its personality mask.

When Luo Zhen praised it like this, the strange cat became embarrassed:

"Oh, it's not that great~. After all, I was born to assist the Phantom Thieves! I'll always keep this mission in mind."

"And I also find it strange."

Morgana summoned his Persona to heal everyone. The round cat-like face was a little confused:

"Captain, you can use many different Personas, right? You possess such incredible abilities, but why don't you have a healing Persona?"

That’s true, Luo Zhen also fell into deep thought.

Luo Zhen has demonstrated his ability to the members of the Phantom Thieves. He can switch his personality mask and use it.

Except for the original "Eros", all other masks were developed by Luo Zhen during his long career as a phantom thief, and are the embodiment of his different emotions.

So perhaps it is because of this that Luo Zhen has a guess:

"Because I don't have any friends. Even if I wanted to heal someone's wounds, there's no one who needs to be healed, so of course I wouldn't develop this kind of personality."

As he said this, it turned into a self-deprecating joke again.

Morgana sighed, jumped onto Luo Zhen's shoulder, and patted his head with his cat paw.

The other members of the Phantom Thieves also gathered around and patted Luo Zhen's shoulders and back...Yoshizawa Kasumi even took the opportunity to touch Luo Zhen's butt.

"Okay, okay, I don't need comfort."

Luo Zhen shyly slapped everyone away:

"Let's get on with it. Including the final preparations for stealing the secret treasure, I want to finish most of the palace today. I have to work part-time this weekend, so I'm very busy."

“[Oh~!]”

Everyone responded in unison.

The feeling of everyone talking at once and having something to say really does feel like a team-building outing.

-------------------------------------

“Hmm? Meow meow (* ?? ?* )?*!”

As the group continued to advance, they entered a huge and spacious space similar to a school auditorium.

Morgana suddenly jumped up, as excited as a cat smelling wood wormwood:

"I smell it! It's the strong scent of desire! ... There must be something special here, something related to the Palace Master!"

Luo Zhen: "Here? But this place is still far from the secret treasure...ah, I see."

As an experienced hand, Luo Zhen suddenly realized.

He released Eros, and a beam of light visible to the naked eye spread out in all directions like a spider web.

When the spreading light touched a corner on the second floor of the room, everyone present felt a surge of waves, and it seemed that even the space was distorted.

Gao Juan An hugged her arms in a daze:

"I feel a little cold and a little nauseous... Captain, what is that?"

Luo Zhen immediately replied, "It is the fruit of the hall master's desire."

No one else knew that Yoshizawa Sumire had a palace, and Luo Zhen had no intention of telling anyone.

Therefore, he only uses Kamoshida's palace as an example:

"Generally speaking, the longer a temple takes to form, the greater its sphere of influence will be. Human desires are limitless; they will only grow more greedy, ultimately destroying themselves."

"Then, when the temple expands to a certain size, in addition to the core secret treasure, new [small secret treasures] will be formed. With this crystallization of desire as the core, the temple's influence will further expand, similar to a branch node."

Oh, everyone nodded, not quite understanding what was meant.

Sakamoto Ryuji scratched his head. "So, what we're saying is, we can just steal that core too, right? Then we can weaken Kamoshida's Palace? Then let's go!"

“…Yeah, that’s right.”

Luo Zhen knew what would happen if the crystal of desire was stolen, so he decided to let them experience it for themselves.

The group searched for a way forward and relied on their enhanced physical abilities to climb through the hall filled with Kamoshida's narcissistic statues, and finally climbed up to the hidden attic.

The attentive Sumire Yoshizawa quickly discovered the problem:

"This place is really strange. The rest of the palace reflects the owner's desires and is decorated magnificently. But this area seems to be deliberately hidden, as if it doesn't want to be discovered."

Fang Zexia chimed in, "And the decor around here is different too. Why are there so many doors sealed with tape? It doesn't look like the design of this palace at all... It looks more like a demolished building in real life."

Luo Zhen: "Because it is composed of memories that the palace master himself does not want to recall, it is incompatible with the palace's desires. You will know when you go in and take a look."

Luo Zhen cut the tape around the room and led a group of people into the dim room.

The room was surrounded by walls on three sides, and only on a strange stand in the middle was a skull ornament placed on it, emitting a scarlet glow.

Even though they didn't have Morgana's keen sense of smell, everyone else felt the sickening sensation of the hall master's desire, and even the space around them was distorted.

"be prepared."

Luo Zhen reminded again: "This is the result of the hall master's desire, and it is a memory that the person involved does not want to recall. In other words, it is a dark history."

"It has a profound impact on the palace, and will affect anyone it touches. So guard your hearts, remember you are only a spectator, and don't get carried away."

Hmm... everyone nodded vigorously.

So, Luo Zhen picked up the red skull.

The next moment, heaven and earth turned upside down.

Everyone was dizzy and saw a faded memory.

They were in a TV studio, and the spotlight was focused on the guest on the stage, who was the tall and strong athlete Kamo Shida.

Gao Juanxing saw the neon sign in the sky and exclaimed in surprise:

"Ah, I watch this show every week. It's very famous! It's one of those entertainment shows where guests and the host have conversations. Many celebrities have been on it."

Ryuji Sakamoto: "Wow, Shida is so young! And so strong! He's a total gorilla, even stronger than he is in real life!"

Even the bold Ryuji was a little scared, feeling that he could never beat Kamoshida at this moment.

His memory continues.

The host of the program introduced the program to the camera with rich expressions and fluent speech:

"[Hello everyone! Based on the audience's vote for the guest they most wanted to see, we've invited Kamoshida, the captain of the men's volleyball team that won the gold medal at the last Olympics! Kamoshida, please say hello to the fans who love you!"
