When the hodgepodge world of anime meets the shadow king

Gray... it's so big!" Sakamoto Ryuji chewed the barbecue and spoke incoherently

"You're so long-winded!" Takamaki An glared at Sakamoto Ryuji

"Girls have two stomachs, one for food and one for dessert. Isn't that common sense?"

"Hmm... Morgana, did you eat too much?" Kitahara Xiao looked at Morgana lying on the side.

His size is almost catching up with the fat orange one at home. I am a little worried whether he can still walk.

"It's okay... burp!" Morgana spat out a fish bone. "At worst, I can ask Lian to carry me back. I can just put it in the bag."

The corner of Amamiya Lian's mouth twitched.

"By the way... we took too much. It would be impolite to leave too much. Long Si, can you help us get some of it?" Gao Juan looked at the table full of food with some worry.

"Who told you to eat so much cake..." Ryuji Sakamoto complained "Let's just eat together"

"I can't do it anymore~" Gao Juanxing covered her lower abdomen, "I'm afraid I can't help you, sorry!"

"In that case..." Sakamoto Ryuji looked at the others and said, "Akatsuki, Lian, Mona, let's take care of them all at once!"

After a whirlwind of excitement...

"There are still so many!" Morgana said with a desperate look on his face, with his round belly.

"Don't give up, keep going!" Sakamoto Ryuji stuffed the barbecue into his mouth frantically.

Some time passed again...

"Eat... I'm done eating." Morgana uttered a few words with difficulty.

"It's...very delicious." Sakamoto Ryuji covered his mouth. "This is a victory for all of us."

Amamiya Ren lay on the seat and loosened her belt

"It tastes really good..." Kitahara Xiao calmly drank a sip of juice

"Hmm..." Sakamoto Ryuji looked at Kitahara Xiao, "Xiao! Why can't you eat enough?"

"…Because I have a big stomach?" Kitahara Akira managed to say.

Just kidding, he actually used his ability to transfer the food he put into his mouth into the shadow space.

"Hehe~ The desserts here are much better than outside" Gao Juanxing savored the taste

"Please! Don't mention food again!" Sakamoto Ryuji struggled to get up. "Oh, no, I have to go to the bathroom!"

"Take me with you!" Morgana turned himself over with difficulty.

A man and woman dressed in gorgeous clothes passed by.

"Oh my god, look at that table..." The woman pointed towards Kitahara Xiao and the others.

The woman's male companion laughed and said, "Just be patient. He must not have eaten anything good."

The woman rolled her eyes and said, "I really want to see what their parents look like."

"What?!" Sakamoto Ryuji clenched his fists angrily.

"Don't bother with them," Kitahara Xiao said calmly, "We paid for the food, so we can eat whatever we want. They are so awesome, but can't they come upstairs and stay here with us?"

"Haha~ Xiao is right!" Gao Juanxing smiled happily.

Sakamoto Ryuji covered his mouth tightly and said, "No, no, no! Toilet!"

.......................................

It took a long time for Sakamoto Ryuji and Morgana to come back

"Too slow!" Gao Juanxing was in a bad mood

"Why are you angry?" Sakamoto Ryuji was confused.

"Sorry, I just had an argument with an old lady," Gao Juanxing calmed down.

"She was the one who bumped into me but she put the blame on me for breaking the plate"

Amamiya Ren nodded. "And when the shop assistants here see that we are students, they all give us that 'no wonder' look."

"Should we... not come here?" Gao Juanxing whispered

"It's not like that," Kitahara Xiao comforted her

"..."

"Hey...Morgana." Sakamoto Ryuji was silent for a while and looked at Morgana.

"what's up?"

“Does everyone have a palace?”

Morgana paused and said, "Only those with twisted and strong desires."

Takamaki An looked at Sakamoto Ryuji with curiosity.

"Why do you suddenly ask about this?"

"I just encountered that kind of selfish, contemptuous, and self-important bastard."

“I wonder if we can make them repent.”

"In other words..." Takamaki An hesitated, "Do you want to continue being a Phantom Thief?"

Kitahara Akira paused holding the cup.

"I've thought about it," Sakamoto Ryuji said slowly, "We finally managed to get Kamoshida to repent, but everyone still doesn't believe in the existence of a Phantom Thief of the Mind."

"Besides, those who could only endure it before are now thanking us."

"The Phantom Thief Channel?" Kitahara Xiao thought of the webpage he had just viewed.

"I've thought about this question before." Gao Juan An hesitated. "If I turn a blind eye to those who are in trouble, I will become the same person I was before."

"If it's our Phantom Thieves, we should be able to help those people," Amamiya Ren thought.

"But... we still have to fight the shadows."

"Yes, this is inevitable," Morgana nodded.

"But as long as it helps others and makes those bastards repent, it's a small price to pay."

"Yoshi! Then let's form a Phantom Thieves Group!" Sakamoto Ryuji excitedly stretched out his hand

Takamaki An and Amamiya Ren put their hands on it, and even Morgana jumped onto the table and stretched out his claws.

"Akatsuki?" Sakamoto Ryuji looked at the indifferent Kitahara Akatsuki with a puzzled look.

"Sorry... I can't join..." Kitahara Akira shook his head

"Huh? Why?!" Several people looked curious.

"You all know that my abilities are different from my personality masks. I often need to go out to deal with special events on a daily basis, so I can't spare that much time to participate in the attack on the palace."

This is only part of the reason

The main reason is that Kitahara Akatsuki hates riddlers like Iger.

If there are unknown dangers, he still dares to venture out, but he hates the smell of behind-the-scenes manipulation the most, because it is unknown, and the unknown means uncontrollable.

Anyway, Iger said that he was an unexpected candidate, which means that in the original plan, Amamiya Ren's rehabilitation could be completed without him. He promised Iger to help Amamiya Ren at a critical moment, but he didn't have to join the team.

And their styles of doing things are also very different. As ordinary high school students, Amamiya Ren and his friends were more idealistic and hoped to implement their actions through gentle means such as "repentance".

Kitahara Akatsuki prefers practical actions and solves problems in a more efficient way. The previous debate on how to deal with Kamoshida is an example.

If they have different ideas but insist on being together, they will only end up arguing and causing more conflicts. It is better not to join in the first place.

"I see..." Sakamoto Ryuji lowered his head with some regret

Everyone present knew the special nature of Kitahara Akatsuki's abilities, and at this moment they just felt regretful.

"Well, be happy." Kitahara Akira smiled.

"Although I can't go with you to attack the palace, you can call me when you need help, and I will definitely help you."

"That's true." Sakamoto Ryuji's mood came back to normal.

"Yoshi! There are still twenty minutes left! I want to eat my money back!" He said as he brought back some more food.

"No way! You still want to eat!!!" Morgana looked horrified
