Tokyo Heart Thief's Daily Life

"Luo Zhen, you're so smart! Just now, I almost lost my temper and wanted to argue with those students who were talking nonsense. But then I think it's pointless. I don't even know if these rumors are true, so I can't win the argument."

"It's okay, you'll get used to it."

Luo Zhen smiled meaningfully and poured a glass of water for both of them.

Takamaki An was as familiar as ever. She held Teacher Kawakami's hand and said some intimate words, which made the young female teacher very grateful.

Kawakami-sensei also quickly showed his guilt and bowed his head to Takamaki An:

"I'm sorry, Takamaki-kun. Although I didn't teach your class last year, I've heard that Kamoshida was pursuing you."

"This kind of relationship between teachers and students is obviously unreasonable, and as adults we should certainly discourage it... But there's a strange atmosphere among the teachers, as if no one should oppose Kamoshida, and they're actually tacitly approving of this outrageous thing."

"You must be under a lot of pressure. I'm so sorry. I've failed as a teacher..."

Xing: "It's okay, teacher. I'm very happy that you have this thought. And anyway, everything is fine now. It was Luo Zhen who helped me. I don't mind at all!"

This silly girl's refreshing smile can always easily blow away other people's gloom.

Teacher Kawakami also felt her charm and was easily melted by her.

Then she looked back and forth at Gao Juanxun and Luo Zhen's faces, and nodded as if she understood something:

"I understand. Although I can't openly support students' romance as a teacher, I think you can definitely handle it in moderation. I'll turn a blind eye to occasional affectionate behavior in my class, so you should try to control yourself as well."

Hmmmm…Hmm?

The more Luo Zhen listened, the more he felt something was wrong, and his head tilted as he nodded.

78. The stains on the infirmary ceiling are a good thing.

It seems that Mr. Kawakami had a misunderstanding and thought that he was dating Anne Takamaki.

Luo Zhen was about to explain, but Mr. Kawakami continued to lecture fluently:

"And that kind of... that kind of really intimate behavior, you still have to take safety measures and do it at home. At school, limit contact to above the neck, and never do it in the infirmary."

"I don't know why, but ever since I was in school, there's been so much romantic description of the infirmary. Maybe it's because it's the only place in school where students can sleep openly... But you know, our school has a lot of sports clubs, and people are always coming and going in the infirmary. You wouldn't want the whole school to know you're messing around here, right? You'd get punished, so you really have to control yourself."

Takamaki An: "......? Teacher, what are you talking about? Above the neck, intimate behavior............?!"

Our lovely girl, Miss Takamaki, seemed to finally come to her senses after her reaction arc went all around Shujin Academy.

Her face immediately flushed, and her fair skin was covered with a beautiful blush:

"We don't! Luo Zhen and I don't have that kind of relationship, we're just friends! Teacher, why are you so gossipy like everyone else..."

"Because Master Luo brought you a lunch, right? He made it himself, and it's all over the class."

Teacher Kawakami looked innocent and sincerely felt that this was not a big deal.

This made Gao Juanxing even more shocked.

She opened her mouth and looked back and forth between Luo Zhen and the teacher, allowing him to see the cute little tongue in her mouth.

Ding dong ding dong~

Coincidentally, the lunch bell rang at this time.

Teacher Kawakami immediately put on a refreshing smile:

"Yeah, I get it, I get it. The teacher can't do anything about it during recess! Do whatever you want. Come on, good boys!"

"I understand the romance between handsome men and beautiful women. As long as you keep up your grades, the teacher won't say anything. I'm not like those old-fashioned teachers. I'm on your side (?o?o??"

This teacher's brain is a little crazy... Luo Zhen and Gao Juan Xing could only watch her leave.

Just when Kawakami went out, Luo Zhen saw a piece of paper floating out of her pocket.

Luo Zhen instinctively picked it up and took a look... It was a colorful flyer?

Probably a supermarket discount coupon or something like that.

It didn't seem like an important thing, so Luo Zhen put it away and planned to return it to her later.

He then turned back:

"Then Xing, let's go eat too... Xing? Are you okay?"

When Luo Zhen walked over, Gao Juanxun instinctively took a step back.

She unconsciously twisted her hair with one hand, twirling the lush wavy blonde hair around her fingertips:

"So, Master Luo, are we really too close? I can ignore all the gossip in class, but even the teacher thinks it's what's going on... But in fact, we haven't done anything that crosses the line, right?"

"I, I just asked you to make me a lunch box, and I paid for it. It was a deal! Plus, we have a secret relationship. We usually get together to chat when we have free time, and we hang out together after school... But that's mainly for work! I'm not doing anything shameful!"

"I simply regard you as a reliable friend... Moreover, you saved me, and have always guided me, teaching me many things I didn't understand, turning me, a novice who knew nothing, into a very skilled person... I rely on you very much, and I trust you very much. I feel safe when you are around, and every time I am close to you, I feel very strong in my heart..."

Luo Zhen: "Xing, Xing... Xing, calm down. You're getting more and more distorted. If you keep going like this, even those who didn't misunderstand will start to misunderstand."

...Huh?!

Xing suddenly came to her senses and found that many people had gathered at the door of the infirmary.

Those members of the sports club who were supposed to train at noon, and the teacher from the infirmary who had just gone somewhere, were all standing at the door, staring at their performance.

Especially the blonde, big-haired teacher who for some reason even wore a white coat that looked sexy and flamboyant. She was licking her fingers excitedly.

"It's great to be young! I'm so envious... You're second-year students, right? I welcome you to use my infirmary anytime. I'll always make your beds. I especially recommend the missionary. The stains on the roof are exactly the same as when I went to school here. It's a real treat..."

Gao Juan Xing: "Thank you so much for the recommendation, teacher! Let's go! (〃＞目＜)"

Miss Gao Juan, who is very innocent by nature, grabbed Luo Zhen and forced him to break out.

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

......All along the way, Gao Juan An was still struggling in her heart.

She kept thinking about all the experiences she had since she met Luo Zhen, as well as the comments from people around her that she had ignored in the past.

It is undeniable that although they have only known each other for a week, Luo Zhen is already her closest friend besides Shiho.

“[…But there’s nothing we can do about it!]”

Xing makes excuses to her other self (persona).

Because Luo Zhen is steady and reliable. When we first met, I never thought he was the same age as me. Xing always thought he was a handsome college student.

Not only did he resolve Shiho's troubles during their first meeting, but he later protected Shiho from Kamoshida's harassment, and overpowered that bastard gorilla in front of them!

The impact of that scene was quite strong. It was the first time for them to see a student who could actually physically suppress Kamoshida.

...Oh, no wonder Shiho is obsessed with him...

Gao Juanxing carefully recalled the scene at that time and felt her heart beating a little faster. It was not surprising at all that her best friend would be moved by love.

And then... needless to say.

Luo Zhen saved me when I accidentally entered the temple. He descended from the sky like an angel and protected me.

Although that was based on the fact that he had awakened his personality mask, Luo Zhen also said that he saved himself and it was not considered a favor from him.

......But in fact, Gao Juan An has always had an idea that she hasn't said.

Although she didn't know why, she vaguely felt that she was able to awaken her personality mask thanks to Luo Zhen.

79. The stirring of spring love

Takamaki An felt that it was because Luo Zhen had helped her resist Kamoshida's behavior before and showed a sense of resistance that made her, who had always been afraid, become more determined.

Under the circumstances at that time, I was able to not fall into despair, but successfully ignite the spirit of resistance. It must be his help that enabled me.

Although Gao Juan An didn't know the reasoning behind this, she just had this feeling.

It was Luo Zhen who strengthened his heart, ignited his desire, and led him to another path.

...So, he was indeed his savior. Indisputable.

Moreover, he had fulfilled his duties as the leader and brought me, a newbie, into the Phantom Thieves... I was even his first companion!

"[...Huh? So I'm not very special? In fact, I'm very, very... very special?]"

"Of course, my other self?"

The devil in Takamaki An's heart is transformed into a personality mask, the gorgeous gypsy girl [Carmen].

But this Carmen now does not have the exaggerated appearance of the one in the other world.

Now she is the real An Takamaki herself, wearing a sexy red dance dress.

Gao Juan An was amazed by the mature self in front of her, and felt a narcissistic feeling of "I am so damn beautiful".

[Carmen Xing] is full of charm. She lifts up her other self's chin and leaves a lip print on her face with her bright red lips:

"You know everything. You're definitely special, the one and only Takamaki Anzu. You're mature and beautiful, and you've been a magazine model since middle school. Men are fascinated by you."

"Of course you don't want to mess around with those low-class men, and you've been waiting for your destined prince... But now, after going through so much, you even defeated that disgusting demon who was eyeing you. Isn't this enough to prove that he is the prince? I've been wanting to rush in and pull him into my bed for a long time.

Uh-huh~!

Gao Juanxing was frightened by the hidden self in her heart. That explicit and unconcealed desire was really scary.

Isn't this just like Kamoshida... I don't want to become like that! (?>﹏

But she was right... Luo Zhen was special to her.

Then on the other hand, I should also have a special feeling towards Luo Zhen, right?

After all, I was his first companion, and he himself said so (although it never lasted more than a day).

He even offered to make lunch for me, and then we had that fateful encounter... Doesn't that prove he's pursuing me?!

Oh my god, so I have been ignoring his pursuits this whole time?!

Because this isn't America, I never expected this to happen! (?>﹏

Takamaki An looked at her own personality mask, the world-famous beauty [Carmen], and her heart was pounding.

The passionate music of "Carmen Overture" rang in her ears, and she felt like she was floating in the air.

…that in this case.

The last thread that can restrain the runaway horse is something called "friendship".

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

"...Luo, Luo Zhen!"

When returning to the classroom to get the lunch box, Gao Juanxun suddenly spoke to Luo Zhen excitedly.

Her face seemed even redder than before, making Luo Zhen a little worried that she had a fever.

She bit her lips again and again to make her plump lips more moist:

"I want to bring Shiho along to have lunch with us... to celebrate her getting rid of Kamoshida! Okay? Please!"

Xing put her hands together, which made Luo Zhen feel inexplicably desperate.

"Um, okay."

Luo Zhen had absolutely no reason to refuse, nor did he feel the need to refuse.

He naturally took out his phone:

"Then I'll notify the others in the group chat and tell them not to mention the Phantom Thief while they're eating. I'll take the lunch box to the courtyard, and you go find Shiho first."

"...Thank you Luo Zhen, you're awesome!"

Gao Juanxing was overjoyed, and Luo Zhen didn't know why he was so happy.

Even more.

In front of the whole class, Gao Juanxing grabbed Luo Zhen's shoulders, stood on tiptoe and kissed him hard on the cheek!

The impact came so suddenly that Luo Zhen's neck made an unpleasant "crackling" sound.

The silly girl Gao Juanxing didn't think much about it and rushed out in an instant.

............Snap~?
