When asked about the situation, Toyokawa Shoko said, "Don't disturb her for the time being."

In addition, Wakaba Mutsumi herself is not a person who likes to use social media...

Nagasaki Motoyo saw "Takamatsu Akari" in the information list, and cold sweat seeped down her forehead, gradually wetting her hair.

Takamatsu Akari and Toyokawa Shoko both study at Haneoka University. If it were them, maybe... no, no, no! If we were to involve the innocent Akari in such a complicated romantic entanglement...

She estimated the possibility that Shiina Tatsuki might strangle her to death in the band's recording studio today, and decisively dismissed the idea.

The "agent" from the Moon Forest suddenly realized that she was now completely isolated and helpless.

Nagasaki Motoyo scrolled to the bottom of the message list with a conflicted expression, saw the pink profile picture, and her eyes gradually became unfocused.

There's no other way, you're the one I've decided on.

Chihaya Aine, who also studies at Haneoka.

......

The tram has arrived at the station.

Akira Kurusu stretched and stood up, and An and Subaru immediately wanted to follow suit.

As soon as I made a movement, an indescribable soreness shot through my thighs and abdomen.

She clutched her stomach, in so much pain she could barely stand up straight, and could only look at her boyfriend with teary eyes.

Akira Kurusu thought for a moment about An and Subaru, then bent down and carried her on his back.

The girl's slender, straight thighs rubbed nervously against her palm through her stockings, sending waves of ticklish sensations through her body that made one's mind wander.

Lai Qixiao took a deep breath, forcing herself not to think about the ambiguous and romantic thoughts left over from their all-night passion.

The glass wall of the tram station reflects the azure sky, as blue as the Niyodo River, and the overlapping shadows of boys and girls intrude into the mirrored world.

The glass wall quickly became empty.

After a while, Nagasaki Motoyo appeared in the empty mirror, carrying a schoolbag. She looked around cautiously before following the couple in front of her.

at the same time.

Haneoka Girls' Academy, Classroom 1-B.

The bell rang, and the Chinese teacher assigned homework and left with her briefcase.

Shoko Toyokawa took out her phone, which was on silent, and saw the message sent by Akira Kurusu.

Her pupils trembled a few times, and she almost shuddered as she unlocked the screen and tapped on Line.

Su Shi... Toyokawa Shoko's expression suddenly turned gloomy.

Then a nervous girl appeared at the classroom door. She looked at Toyokawa Shoko sitting in the first row, hesitated several times before finally mustering up her courage and saying, "Toyokawa-san, excuse me, could you please come out for a moment...?"

Before she could finish speaking, Toyokawa Shoko looked up at Chihaya Aine at the door. The murderous intent in her eyes instantly silenced Chihaya Aine, the founder of AnonTokyo who had studied in the UK but fled back to Japan.

His voice changed to a Kansai accent, then his face turned pale as he took three steps back, glancing left and right. Seeing no one to help him, he trembled and prepared to run away...

Unexpectedly, Toyokawa Shoko stood up and walked towards her.

For every step Toyokawa Shoko took forward, Chihaya Aine took a step back.

As she left the classroom, Chihaya Aine recalled the terrifying look in that eyes and almost burst into tears.

She felt her knees go weak and she lost the courage to run away.

How terrifying! How terrifying!!

Chihaya Aine prayed in her heart that someone would descend from the sky to help her.

At this moment, Toyokawa Shoko was already standing in front of her, looking at her with a forced smile, "Chihaya-san from Class 1-A, is there anything I can help you with?"

Chihaya Aine remembered that Nagasaki Motoyo's request was to "have Toyokawa help me remove her from the blacklist, she has something urgent to tell you," and she swallowed hard, saying tremblingly, "Nagasaki hopes you can remove her from the blacklist, she has something important to tell you."

Toyokawa Shoko almost couldn't maintain her smile. Although she was still smiling, her eyes were sharper than a dagger, as if they could pierce through flesh and scoop out hot blood at any moment.

"I understand."

She said, "I will unblock you."

"Then...can I go now?" Chihaya Aine's voice was tinged with tears.

"please."

No sooner had she finished speaking than Chihaya Aine fled in a panic.

Toyokawa Shoko took out her phone and coldly scrolled through her contacts.

I finally found that familiar number, unblocked it, and dialed the number.

......

At that moment, a clear, ringing telephone tone suddenly came from Nagasaki Motoyo's schoolbag as she followed Kurusu Akira and Anwa Subaru.

She was terrified and quickly pulled out her phone, pressing the mute button.

Then, Nagasaki Motoyo looked at the couple in front of her who seemed completely unaware of her presence and breathed a sigh of relief.

It was only then that she noticed the contact name on the phone was "Toyokawa Shoko".

Nagasaki Motoyo was overjoyed, fearing she might miss this opportunity to completely reconcile with Toyokawa Shoko, and then answered the phone.

The moment I put the receiver to my ear, before I could even say a delighted "Good morning," I heard Toyokawa Shoko's cold voice from the other end.

Why...why were you stalking my boyfriend?

Nagasaki Motoyo's knees buckled, as if she had been instantly stripped of her strength to stand. She looked around in confusion and fear, as if an invisible third party was watching her every move.

"Xiangzi, no! I..."

"You're following him, aren't you?"

“Xiangzi…” Nagasaki Motoyo covered her mouth, her eyes quickly filled with tears, and fear flickered in them.

(Wandering the city streets, I couldn't overcome the appalling unsanitary conditions in an internet cafe while rushing to finish my manuscript, so I had to go to sleep... Finally, I found a decent internet cafe. Today, I have another chapter that's either a "three-in-one" or "four-in-one" chapter.)

(Bonus chapter added earlier, please witness.)

115. Life becomes easier (two-in-one)

Is she still stalking her?

An and Subaru leaned on Akira Kurusu's shoulder and whispered in his ear, asking him a question.

Akira Kurusu shook her head very slowly.

It's 11 a.m., and the residents living nearby are either at work or at school, making the streets seem more deserted than usual.

Early summer is a wonderful time of year, with bright sunshine, clear skies, and the air filled with the gentle fragrance of spring blossoms and the slight coolness after the seasonal rains.

To put it simply, the heat isn't very noticeable.

An and Subaru's gaze passed over his shoulder, looking towards the rows of buildings in the distance. "Ren, you're so cunning..."

"cunning......?"

"The thief cries 'Stop thief!'" Anhe Mao said vaguely.

"You could even guess that?" Akira Kurishi carried An and Subaru onto the pedestrian overpass.

“You didn’t hide it from me either,” Anhe Mao poked his cheek somewhat dejectedly. “Were you doing this on purpose, trying to slowly lower my psychological threshold so that you could satisfy some of your dirty thoughts that you can’t see the light of day?”

"What is there to hide? I sit upright and do everything openly and honestly."

Upon hearing this, An and Subaru couldn't laugh at all. "Oh...open and aboveboard, huh?"

Her finger movements changed from "poking" to "pinching," but she still restrained herself greatly, afraid of hurting Lai Qixiao.

Lai Xixiao stopped talking and carried her up the steps one by one.

The vehicles under the overpass sped by at high speed, creating waves of heat.

Anwa Subaru's tone became somewhat firm as she said to Kurusu Akira, "I will win in the end, even if my opponent is the eldest daughter of the Toyokawa family."

What if we lose?

An and Subaru were so angry that they gritted their teeth. "If we lose, we'll activate the backup plan. Anyway, you'll never escape my life!"

"A backup plan?" Akira Lai asked, somewhat surprised.

However, An and Subaru were unwilling to answer this question. It wasn't that they had any dark or twisted thoughts, but rather that their unconventional views were so unspeakable that they were ashamed to talk about them.

The phantom thief stood on the overpass, looking back in the direction he had come from. In the distance, under the shade of trees on the street, a brown-haired girl stood there, looking lost and motionless for a long time.

An and Subaru hugged Akira Kurusu's neck and looked towards Nagasaki Motoyo's location. "Toyokawa-san only needed one phone call to stop her from following us... Toyokawa-san shouldn't do anything like coercion, right?"

“My initial idea was just to let Xiaoxiang know through her. After all, knowing the truth indirectly would be less shocking than being told by the person directly, and there would be more room for explanation... Xiaoxiang is too shy. Even if he had already expected it and was gradually accepting it, there would still be a suitable way to communicate further. I didn’t expect that this Ms. Nagasaki didn’t have the courage to directly confess on the phone that ‘Ren Amamiya is having an affair.’”

Akira Kurusu sounded somewhat disappointed.

"Hey! Why do you have to talk about this in front of me again? Can't you just keep it to yourself?! ...At least don't use such an affectionate term like 'Xiao Xiang' in front of me!!" An and Subaru angrily pinched and pulled hard on both sides of Akira's cheeks.

"Because neither you nor Xiao Xiang really care about these things anymore, right? When you were conquering the Mind Palace and the Impression Space together, you should have already tacitly understood each other... Compared to 'love,' you would subconsciously be more inclined to protect everything about the 'Phantom Thieves.'"

Akira carried An and Subaru to the other end of the overpass. "If it were a real competition for love with marriage as the ultimate goal, Xiaoxiang would have already started to use the power of his family to forcibly drive you out of the race."

Anhe Subaru scoffed, "Is this one of your schemes?"

“Slander,” Akira Kurusu retorted, “I used to be a staunch advocate of monogamy.”

"And what about you now?"

"Haha."

I'm going to strangle you, you scumbag!

"After all, experiences are always changing people's views. Just like now I don't want to let go, and I'm not willing to let go of any of you."

"This is outrageous!"

Even so, Anwa Subaru softened her tone, because she herself had realized this terrible fact—just as Kurusu Akira described, after successfully getting Shinma Koren to repent, she actually began to gradually accept the feelings between Toyokawa Shoko and Kurusu Akira.

Compared to the shared experiences of fighting side by side and risking their lives, and the heavy sense of responsibility and mission brought about by the identity of "Mind Thief," the innocent romance of a high school student seems too thin and pale. She can't even bring herself to be angry with Toyokawa Shoko.

An and Subaru's occasional outbursts of temper were also directed at Akira Kurusu, because he irresponsibly allowed another girl to steal a portion of the time that should have been theirs alone.

As for how Akira would get along with Toyokawa Shoko and develop feelings after that... she surprisingly didn't feel anything about it. She felt neither envy nor jealousy, nor anger or sadness like betrayal. She simply accepted the development of the situation calmly.

It was a very strange feeling, as if some kind of enormous destiny had come from nowhere and bound the three of them together, making them an indispensable part of each other.

Only after they walked off the overpass did An and Subaru whisper, "We have a long, long time to spend together. Like you said, we live in the 'present.' I don't know what I'll become in the future, but at least we're still dating now... So please don't mention other girls anymore."

Akira looked at the mysterious pattern on the back of her hand, remained silent for a while, and then asked her, "What do you want for lunch?"

"Is curry okay?"

"Of course... then let's go to school this afternoon."

"Okay."

"I'll take you to my place for some curry, which I made myself, then we'll take a nap before heading to the exam hall together."

"Is it that coffee shop called 'LeBron'? I hope it won't disturb their business?"

"Instead of that, you should first consider whether you can fall asleep in an overly rudimentary environment."

"It makes no difference, I'll be sleeping with you anyway." An and Mao yawned sleepily. "Besides, I'm not some pampered princess, I'm not that delicate."

"I'm glad you don't mind."

......

About half an hour later.

LeBron's store doors opened.

On weekdays, the store is very quiet, and there are no customers right now.
