Especially in the latter half of the night, Izanagi was unconsciously pleading and crying out... although at the time her face had an expression of melting comfort.

Anwa Subaru woke up belatedly and noticed that Iori Niina had sat up. A shy smile appeared on his face.

Good morning, Nina.

Jing Qinren ignored her and just stared blankly for a moment.

It wasn't until Akira Kurusu woke up that the girl was so frightened that she tried to run away in a panic.

She had barely made a move when she clutched her stomach and sat back down, looking at Akira with teary eyes.

The phantom thief knew that the child was severely lacking in experience in all aspects, so he did not laugh or make fun of her, but simply held her in his arms to comfort her.

"If Nina really doesn't like it, she can refuse. Subaru won't mind."

"Hey! Why are you making me sound like some kind of villain who forces women into prostitution!" Anhe Mao waved his little fists in protest beside the pillow.

283. Yutenji Wakana: I will never dare to talk nonsense online again!!! (Two-in-one)

The bedroom was decorated with a white backdrop.

Based on the art style of the Phantom Thief Channel, the "Phantom Thief outfit" commissioned from the costume designer features a red and black color scheme.

Mysterious and alluring.

The girl dressed as a phantom thief is named Yutenji Wakanagi.

Although she is a first-year high school student, she has a mature and charming appearance that is not in line with her age.

Perhaps it's because they're too good at makeup and fashion...

In short, Yutenji, who is from Kumamoto Prefecture, is running a beauty blogger account that has recently become very popular.

This account initially gained a considerable number of subscribers due to Yutenji Wakana's outstanding beauty and superb makeup skills, with her fan base once reaching 200,000.

However, due to the severe homogenization of content and the need for Yutenji Wakami to take care of schoolwork and part-time jobs outside of school, the frequency of video updates became unstable.

Viewers who initially clicked in because of her "beauty" and "fashion" gradually left, and eventually her newly released videos only garnered a few hundred or a thousand views...

It can be summed up in one word: "outdated".

Yutenji Ruomai is a washed-up beauty blogger. Her life, which could have been filled with renting an apartment off-campus, buying new clothes and various fashion luxury goods, was shattered by the dismal number of views, and she was even forced to move back to the school dormitory.

But she is indeed exceptionally lucky.

Because of a club activity arranged by the school, and based on the "Mind Thieves" that has recently been trending online, she tried to have a cosplay outfit customized.

And then...

It involves dressing up as a phantom thief, role-playing as a "mind thief," and simultaneously providing makeup tutorials for the "phantom thief disguise" in videos.

This video unexpectedly became a viral hit.

The deeds of "Mind Thief", "fighting crime", "defeating international hacker organizations" and so on have long brought those superpowered individuals who never show their faces into the spotlight of society.

As their popularity among the public soared, more and more people began to try to uncover the mystery of the Phantom Thieves...

At the height of this media frenzy, Yutenji Ruomai's video went viral.

Along with the influx of followers who sprang up one after another like mushrooms after rain, Yutenji Wakame, as the first person to capitalize on this immense popularity, made the same mistake.

She doesn't have much creativity.

Just like how she dreamed of forming a world-famous rock band, but couldn't write a single catchy song...

Even if Yutenji Wakana was the first person to "imitate the Phantom Thieves".

Her several consecutive "phantom thief disguise" makeup tutorials undoubtedly represent that she has always bound herself to the cage of the past.

Seeing more and more people gain far more subscribers than they did by following the trend.

However, the number of views for Yutenji Ruomai's videos began to decline once again.

At that moment, I suddenly remembered the sparse comments criticizing the Mind Thieves that appeared in every one of my videos.

Desperate, she finally decided to risk everything to "steal" the audience's attention...

......

Set up the camera.

Put on the phantom thief's outfit.

Then put on a black half-face mask that was deliberately designed to resemble lace underwear.

Yutenji Wakame closed the door. Although her family members were currently traveling in Hokkaido, she had developed the good habit of closing doors after living alone in Tokyo for half a year.

At this moment, facing the camera, Yutenji Wakana recalled the overwhelming support for the Phantom Thieves online, and the seemingly irrefutable justice they represented...

Despite her anxiety, considering the financial pressures she faced living in Tokyo, Yutenji Wakamu ultimately decided to take the risk.

She's already prepared to abandon this account...

I just hope netizens will be a little gentler with their criticism.

After taking a few deep breaths, Yutenji Wakana started the camera and began recording a new episode of the video:

"Hey everyone~ This is Miaomengqin~"

"Actually, Meow Dream has always harbored a slight suspicion about the recent actions of our Mind Thieves..."

...(Politically sensitive content, edited for censorship reasons)...

It's another morning.

Awakened by the alarm clock, Yutenji Wakame lay on the bed, staring blankly at the pale white ceiling.

The phone screen next to my pillow kept lighting up with private messages.

Just as Yutenji Wakana was anxiously and fearfully imagining the torrent of online abuse, she made a completely different discovery...

She picked up her phone cautiously, only to find many voices of support and agreement.

This is......

Yutenji Wakana blinked.

In fact, she was prepared to ride the wave of popularity, but also to be backfired by it.

I just didn't expect... that so many people would hate the Mind Thieves.

When something is thrust into the spotlight, it will inevitably gain a large number of supporters, but it will also attract the same level of disgust and attacks.

This video, which questions the authenticity, justice, and legitimacy of the Phantom Thieves, has surprisingly garnered more views than the first video, "The Disguised Phantom Thief," by Yutenji Ruomai.

It's as if someone is pulling the strings behind the scenes...

After all, despite the incredibly high number of views, Yutenji Wakami didn't see many voices supporting the Phantom Thieves.

Sitting on the bed, Yutenji Wakana looked at the comments that kept refreshing on her phone.

I felt immense fear.

It felt as if countless unseen hands were pushing me to an illusory height, where I would fall and be smashed to pieces if I wasn't careful.

However, I witnessed the advertising orders popping up in my private inbox...

Despite her pale face, Yutenji Wakame managed a strained smile.

Perhaps... I can do it again...

Just as she was starting to come up with ideas for the content of her new video.

But then they heard a knock on the door.

Who is it? Who would knock on the door in the morning?

There was clearly no need for Yutenji Wakame to be wary.

After all, the person knocking on the door could be a concerned neighbor, or a supermarket salesperson selling newspapers, milk, or fruit...

But the saying "a guilty conscience needs no accuser" is also true.

Yutenji Wakana was indeed very afraid that she would see the Phantom Thieves' announcement letter on the ground as soon as she opened the door.

Yutenji Wakana quickly straightened her pajamas and got out of bed.

She shuffled towards the door, shuffling along in her slippers.

I cautiously peered through the peephole to observe the situation outside.

There was no mysterious person dressed as a phantom thief.

The girl, so beautiful that you couldn't take your eyes off her, seemed lost, wandering around outside the door looking pitiful.

Yutenji Wakame's heart softened, and she quietly opened the door.

"Hello, is there anything I can help you with?"

Motis, who was outside the door, noticed the open door and Yutenji Wakana behind it.

She suddenly pursed her thin lips, her narrow shoulders trembled violently, and her small face drooped down as if she was trying to hold back tears.

After a moment, Metis spoke in a trembling voice.

"Hello... I'm a tourist visiting Kumamoto, but I got separated from my parents. Could I borrow your phone for a moment?"

Yutenji Wakana replied softly, "Of course."

Then she took her phone out of her pajama pocket, unlocked it, opened the phone app, and handed it to Motis.

Unexpectedly, the doll-like, exquisitely cute girl in front of me suddenly screamed in terror after entering just a few numbers.

"You... what's wrong with you?!" Yutenji Wakana was startled.

“I found something terrible outside my sister’s door!” Mortis replied in a high-pitched voice.

That cute face was filled with panic.

Yutenji Wakame's heart tightened. "It's scary?!" She leaned forward and looked in the direction Mortis was looking.

"It's...it's a black letter..."

Even without Motis's reminder, Yutenji Wakami had already seen it—

This is a pitch-black letter, fixed to the wall with bright red tape.

The envelope had a line of text written in the same bright red color:

[To Yutenji Ruomai, personally.]

A strong feeling of dizziness washed over me.

Yutenji Wakana felt the strength supporting her body being rapidly drained away.

She leaned against the wall, gradually collapsing to the ground, her breathing becoming rapid and anxious, tears blurring her vision.

Metis, who was beside her, seemed to be yelling at her, trying to help her get up.

But after several attempts, he found that he couldn't lift Yutenji Wakana at all, so he had to start making phone calls with his cell phone.

This call was indeed to an ambulance.

After all, it's only natural to spread the word that "a well-known blogger received a warning letter from the Mind Thieves."

......

Yutenji Wakana had completely forgotten when she woke up.

When I opened my eyes, I was already lying in a hospital bed.

The air was filled with the pungent smell of disinfectant, and a nurse with a helpless expression was standing next to me.

She briefly gave Yutenji Wakana some medical advice, such as paying attention to diet and rest, and exercising regularly...

After falling into a coma, she was taken to the hospital, where it was discovered that Yutenji Wakanagi had low blood sugar due to dieting.

Apart from that, he is in good health in all other aspects.

Yutenji Wakanai forgot how she left the hospital, only after restarting her phone.

Hundreds of text message notification bubbles filled the phone screen.

This is......

Yutenji Wakana recalled the premonition letter she had seen before she fell into a coma, and then looked at the contents of the text message.
