When Akira returned to her seat, she discovered that the screen of her phone, which she had put in the drawer, had been repeatedly lit up by text messages from members of the Phantom Thieves.

[Queen (Makoto Niijima): I remember you second graders had home economics class this afternoon, right?]

[Queen: Principal String Roll asked me to inform you...]

[Queen: The Phantom Thieves' newest base of operations is under renovation. If you don't have any club activities, you can go and visit the construction site.]

Panther (Ann Takamaki): That's what they say, but actually, only a few people can actually go and visit, right?

[Queen: The principal said that just one Joker is enough.]

[Skull (Ryuji Sakamoto): FOX, can you come?]

[Fox (Kitagawa Yusuke): Haha. 】

[(FOX uploaded an image)]

The picture shows Yusuke Kitagawa taking a selfie with huge dark circles under his eyes, and behind him on the table are piles of manuscripts.

[Fox: It's a real shame, I've already fallen into the trap of weekly comic updates, and there are still 37 hours until the deadline...]

[Fox: If I could take it back, I would never choose to become a cartoonist.]

[Skull: That's so sad, Yusuke. If you die from overwork, I'll offer you flowers.]

[Skull: Speaking of which... are there really any people at our school who have enough free time to skip home economics class and wander around outside? ...Besides JOKER.]

[Joker: Yes, yes, Pleia from Class B next door.]

Panther: Hey! Doesn't this look like you two are on a date?!

Pleia: That would be wonderful.

In fact, very few members of the Phantom Thieves could use their phones during class time.

Futaba Sakura, who was usually the most active student, has now transferred to the class of Kasumi Yoshizawa and Sumire Yoshizawa, and spends all her time doing practice problems... Even a genius in the field of programming cannot pass the academic exams if they don't study hard.

Humanities courses like Chinese, history, and geography don't test programming skills; they rely entirely on rote memorization to improve scores.

Futaba Sakura has been skipping school for half a year, and it's time to pay the price for the lessons she's missed...

Ann Takamaki seems eager to skip home economics class.

But soon, during the morning math class, the shocking line on Ito Sansui's report card, "Ann Takamaki, 43 points," shattered her fantasy of skipping class and spending time with her boyfriend. With a long face, she prepared to use her home economics class time to review the questions she got wrong.

After all, once the final battle with Mitakihara begins, the members of the Phantom Thieves will be away from school for at least two months.

After saving the world, you still have to go back to your normal life, attend extra classes when needed, and do your homework when required...

As for the privileges of a savior? Ann Takamaki felt she had already enjoyed too much. In order not to become a degenerate person whose will was completely controlled by power and money, she should still maintain the most basic self-discipline.

......

The morning class time passed quickly.

Akira Kurusu returned to the familiar music classroom, where Kasumi Yoshizawa and Sumire Yoshizawa had carefully tidied up the yoga mats they had left behind.

But the twin sisters have been busy with gymnastics competitions lately and have no time to spend their lunch break at school.

The music classroom has returned to its most familiar configuration—

Anwa Subaru and Iori Rensai, and also Kurusu Akatsuki.

However, it's different from when I first met the two girls last semester.

The phantom thief has now entered the stage of "having women on both sides".

An and Subaru were holding his left arm, while Izare Nina was hugging his waist from the right, rolling around on his lap like a sleepy kitten.

An and Subaru reached their hands over Qixiao's arms and then rested their heads on his shoulders while playing on their phones.

"The blogger named 'Meow Dream' has already posted a video apologizing."

An and Subaru swiped their fingers across the screen. "And those bloggers who followed the trend to smear the Phantom Thieves have all started to restrain their words."

"After all, it's still too unusual to send the announcement letter directly to your doorstep via the internet."

Akira Kurusu stroked Serina Ii's hair and played with her ear amidst the girl's cute humming.

An and Subaru tilted their little faces up and kissed Akira Kurusu's lips. "The band's activity frequency has also decreased recently, and they've become so relaxed."

"Yes."

"So now Xiao's daily life consists of flirting with girls?" Anhe Mao smiled slyly. "I've recently found game streaming quite interesting. Xiao, how about we try creating a game channel online?"

Tokyo is too peaceful these days.

The Mind Thieves' job is simply to check the message board on the Phantom Thief Channel every day, and then deal with those minor shadowy incidents in the Space of Impressions.

These tasks were mainly contracted out to members who hadn't been involved in Persona combat for too long as "rehabilitation training".

Thanks to this, Akira Kurusu is now living a harem manga-like life as a popular schoolgirl.

Feeling the cool air from the air conditioner blowing in my face, I could faintly hear the shouts of boys chasing a soccer ball on the playground from outside the brightly lit window.

“Okay.” Akira Kurusu agreed to An and Subaru’s request.

Jingqin Rencai opened her eyes, lay on Kurusu Akira's lap, and looked up at his face.

"Xiao, can I come over for a visit tonight?"

After school, Jingqin Rencai can move into "Fujikiju" smoothly.

"Nina can stay in my bed all night."

The phantom thief paused for a moment, then spoke frankly.

This made the girl's face turn bright red instantly. She stared at him blankly, not daring to speak for a long time.

To be honest, Ishigami Rina quite likes that kind of thing, probably because she has a naturally affectionate personality.

Sometimes his addiction was even greater than that of An and Subaru.

However, Akira Kurusu, who had already awakened [Victory Roar], remained steadfast and unyielding.

This initially instilled fear in the inexperienced young girl.

She was originally ashamed to sleep with other people.

Thanks to Akira Kurusu's boundless strength, Izayoi Nina, without any companions, no longer dared to easily accept Akira Kurusu's invitation to stay overnight.

Anhe Subaru poked Inoue's chubby cheeks with his finger, "Then I can stay with Nina tonight."

"Hmph... Subaru is clearly weaker than me."

"Hey! You bastard!..." An and Subaru were immediately furious.

The club activity room was bathed in a warm and cozy atmosphere.

(I'd also like to recommend a book by one of our group members.)

295. What is the progress of Yao Lena?

Although they made a big show of calling people for quite a while.

However, in the end, only Akira Kurusu, Yasuhiro, and Subaru were able to visit the construction site of the Phantom Thieves' base.

Even Kokoro Genmaki herself didn't come...

After all, he is the lead singer of a super popular band, a high school student, and also manages the family business. It is already a miracle that he can find time every day to flirt with Akira.

The summer heat was unbearable. After chatting for a while with the workers who supposedly had signed confidentiality agreements with the Genmaki Foundation, Akira Kurusu led An and Subaru to the Phantom Thieves' old operational base, which was about to be relegated to a backup option.

The café, formerly known as "SPACE," has been completely revitalized after several rounds of investment from Shoko Toyokawa.

It's unlikely that it will be able to attract customers and operate like before, but restoring the original decor and setting aside a room specifically for the only girl who frequents the place for a midday rest is more than enough.

It's lunch break time, and as always, Yoro Nai walks into "SPACE" with her guitar.

Akira Kurusu was playing Street Fighter VI with Subaru An behind the counter of what had been converted into an internet cafe. The so-called "internet cafe" consisted of a long table with computer towers installed side by side, and then decorated with game controllers, speakers, monitors, and other accessories.

An and Subaru no longer share the same excitement they had when they first started playing the game.

With a tense little face, she watched intently as Akira Kurusu controlled "Ken" to unleash his punches and kicks...

There's a flaw!

"Ken" seemed to have failed in his combo. After Green Rush followed by Rising Dragon broke Zangief's aura burst, he pressed out two "forward forward" moves with no clear meaning.

She held her breath and used her fastest hand speed to input a long string of directional keys and punches and kicks as accurately as possible. "Zangief" followed up his headbutt with a green punch with a palm strike with a golden slam.

By using the exaggerated extra damage of "Confirmed Counter" to directly wipe out the last third of "Ken's" health.

"We won...we won!" Anhe Mao's nerves, which had been tense for an hour, completely relaxed, like a long-awaited rain after a drought, or a long-starved feast.

She didn't even have time to review the details of the game, nor did she care whether Akira Kurusu had deliberately let her win...

The glamorous, idol-like girl slumped in her gaming chair, her pupils unfocused as she stared at the ceiling.

"There will be a punishment for losing."

Akira Kurusu leaned in and bit An and Subaru's lips. "Subaru, about that promise you made at noon..."

Anhe Mao blushed instantly, quickly turned to the side, and stammered in response, "Did you buy the cosplay outfit?"

"We had prepared in advance."

"Then I..."

An and Subaru's voices abruptly stopped.

Because a petite white-haired girl walked through the now-unused open-air parking lot and slipped in through the hidden back door of "SPACE".

Kaname, carrying her guitar, gave Akira Kurusu a light, airy smile.

Then she approached with great delight.

“Xiao…” Kaoru said in a soft, high-pitched voice, “We made a promise.”

Akira then remembered that Rakuna had actually learned to use a mobile phone to chat by rote memorization in order to learn guitar from him, defying her feline instincts.

Of course, after learning how to use a mobile phone, she didn't actually learn guitar from Akira Kurusu a few times. Instead, she was dragged to rehearse by the girls from "Mygo" every day.

Until recently, Akira Kurusu finally overcame the arduous struggle of awakening [Victory Roar], and only then did he have the opportunity to respond to the expectations of this clingy stray cat.

Now, facing the girl's mysterious heterochromatic eyes filled with admiration and affection, it's hard not to feel a flutter in my heart, and an inexplicable ambiguity arises.

An and Subaru noticed Akira's unusual behavior, and with a mischievous grin, they hugged him, looking at Kaname's face, which was gradually puffing up, with an almost smug smile.

"Xiao, your lolicon nature has been exposed."

Before he mastered the "Victory Roar," Akira Kurusu would have felt guilty, stubbornly denied it, and been jokingly teased by his girlfriend.

But now that [Victory Roar] has been awakened, it means that Akira Kurusu is already standing above the clouds.

He readily admitted it.

Kaname, who was listening intently at the table, seemed a little sullen. "What does 'lolicon' mean?"

"It means that a boy likes girls who look 'small'."

"If Rakuna were a loli, would Akatsuki like her?"

"this......"

"If Akatsuki likes me, I can play guitar with him forever, right?" Kaoru Nai is clearly a girl who lacks common sense, but she always inadvertently shows her sharp and intelligent side.

Then she moved even closer, almost squeezing into the counter, crowding between Lai Xixiao and An He Mao...

The petite and slender girl stared intently at Akira Kurusu. "Rakuna is 'small,' so will Akira like Rakuna?"

Anhe Subaru secretly pinched Laixi Xiao's waist with his fingers, "Don't really lead the child astray, at least wait until she understands that kind of thing a little more, okay?"

Akira Kurusu recalled the night before summer vacation when she and Kaname "shared" desserts with each other and fell into deep thought.

"What do we do now that they've already taken action?"

"What step...are you at?"

"It was just a kiss."

"Hmph, how despicable, Commander..."

Noticing the two were having an intimate conversation, Kaname seemed even more depressed.

She rarely expresses her own ideas proactively, but when she does, she strongly dislikes being ignored.
