The Daily Life of Tokyo’s Phantom Thief [25]

And so—let’s fast-forward straight to that evening.

When they checked out of the love hotel, Asakura Rinto was practically carrying the Yoshizawa sisters out in his arms.

These were two athletic, high-energy girls with the lean, graceful builds of elite gymnasts—BMI pro...

The Daily Life of Tokyo’s Phantom Thief [24]

Asakura Rinto led the Yoshizawa sisters to the front of the castle—and found the main gate still sealed shut.

The corner of the wall where he’d escaped with Sumire yesterday still bore the marks of that explosion—an entire chunk of masonry blown clean off.

He knocked on the gate...

The Daily Life of Tokyo’s Phantom Thief [23]

Asakura Rinto wasn’t the type to brag about being some kind of legendary Phantom Thief.

He didn’t go around claiming to be a shadowy knight who’d stolen over a hundred hearts and prevented countless crimes and tragedies.

But objectively speaking… that was exactly what he was.<...

The Daily Life of Tokyo’s Phantom Thief [22]

It wasn’t until Yoshizawa Kasumi had finally laughed herself out, flopping back with a sigh of satisfaction, that she managed to calm down a little.

Asakura Rinto seized the moment—before she could start up with something else—and got straight to the point:

“Sumire, can I take...

The Daily Life of Tokyo’s Phantom Thief [21]

Asakura Rinto pulled out his phone to check the time.
Thanks to Momoka dragging her feet, it was already getting a bit late.

He still needed to pick up the Yoshizawa sisters after class—or they'd start getting anxious.

So he apologized to Awa Subaru, who had been waiting, and the...

The Daily Life of Tokyo’s Phantom Thief [20]

Awa Subaru was, to Rinto, a bit of an enigma.

Like a gallery visitor admiring art from behind the rope, she kept just the right amount of distance—no more, no less. In that way, she was every bit his equal.

And she made no effort to hide it, either. That Mona Lisa-esque smile only d...

The Daily Life of Tokyo’s Phantom Thief [19]

Awa Subaru efficiently smoothed out the wrinkles in Momoka’s discarded tights and hung them neatly in the locker.

Her voice, sweet and full of cheer, continued chirping along:

“Rinto-kun, how’ve things been between you and Momoka lately? I didn’t get to work the same shifts wi...

The Daily Life of Tokyo’s Phantom Thief [18]

Through her half-closed, sleepy eyes, Momoka watched as Asakura Rinto dropped off the Yoshizawa twins at their training studio before heading straight to work.

To keep their parents reassured, Rinto had discussed things with the sisters and agreed it was best to stick to their usual routine...

The Daily Life of Tokyo’s Phantom Thief [17]

“…”

While Rinto and her older sister were laughing and goofing around, Yoshizawa Sumire quietly bit her lip, pretending not to care.

Her senpai’s sunny smile was just as charming as ever, and now there was a hint of youthful boyishness that made it even more dazzling....

The Daily Life of Tokyo’s Phantom Thief [16]

“Mmmnn…”

Yoshizawa Sumire stirred awake with a soft murmur.

She didn’t even open her eyes at first—her hands reached out instinctively, searching for warmth, terrified that her beloved senpai might have left.

Thankfully, Asakura Rinto was still there,...

Urban Pokémon: All My Students Are Exceptionally Gifted [25]

Inside the villa—

Su Qingxue was in her room, on a video call with her mother.

On the screen, a stylish and elegant woman with the refined look of an urban elite smiled warmly. “Xiaoxue, how have you been these past few days?”

Su Qingxue answered with a smile, “I’m doi...

Urban Pokémon: All My Students Are Exceptionally Gifted [24]

If it had been before—

When Su Qingxue made such a suggestion, Uncle Ye would’ve considered it lucky just to avoid objecting. He certainly wouldn’t have gone so far as to encourage it.

But things were different now.

With Nidoking and Nidoqueen under his command, G...

Urban Pokémon: All My Students Are Exceptionally Gifted [23]

Uncle Ye hadn’t expected the so-called intruder to be a Trainer commanding a Quasi-Elite Four tier Pokémon.

Because, let’s be honest—

His strongest Pokémon, Ursaring, had just reached that level.

If the other side had another Pokémon of that caliber…...

Urban Pokémon: All My Students Are Exceptionally Gifted [22]

Outside the villa, in the open clearing, all the bodyguards had gathered, their expressions grim as they kept their eyes trained on any movement from the east.

At the same time—

Uncle Ye wore a solemn face as he turned to the head of security. “Xiao Wang, are you confident?”

Urban Pokémon: All My Students Are Exceptionally Gifted [21]

Seeing this—

Guo Yi stood up and made his way to the muddy marsh, scooping up a bottle of sludge he had prepared in advance.

Then, using the system’s [Device] function, he crafted several batches of perfect-grade energy cubes.

“Nidoking, Nidoqueen—no nee...

“Iono, as a supporter of August, I assume you’re rooting for him to win this match, right?”
On the commentary platform, the host continued grilling Iono.

Iono shrank into himself. “…..”
Stop talking—Lance is looking this way!

Well, he wasn’t. Lance’s e...

Pokémon: My Titles Know No Limits! [369]

"Just a little bit..."

Lance turned to look out at the battlefield, where Leon was clearly suffering under the torment of Cynthia's relentless tactics. He stayed silent for a long moment before suddenly muttering:

"Just promise me you’ll make it quick tomorrow, all right?"

Aug...

Pokémon: My Titles Know No Limits! [368]

The moment Mega Charizard Y appeared, the entire battlefield shifted. The clouds above evaporated in seconds.

Scorching sunlight blazed down, baking the arena floor.

Aside from a few water puddles left behind by [Surf], the entire field transformed from wet and damp t...

Pokémon: My Titles Know No Limits! [367]

After sending out Aegislash, Leon threw himself fully into the battle.

“Aegislash, [Shadow Ball]!”

In an instant, Aegislash shifted into its Blade Forme. A [Shadow Ball] formed at the tip of its blade and launched toward Milotic as the Pokémon su...

Pokémon: My Titles Know No Limits! [366]

Cynthia and Leon stepped into the battlefield with poised, deliberate strides.

As the two Champions took their places, the stadium erupted in thunderous cheers.

Up in the spectator’s box, August was enjoying himself immensely—arm cradling a massive bucket of popcorn, munching away...

Pokémon: My Titles Know No Limits! [365]

The moment the semifinals ended, August had barely stepped out of the tunnel before he was swarmed by a wall of reporters and microphones.

“Mr. August, this is your first time competing in the World Championships and you've already made it to the Masters Eight semifinals—how do you feel...

Genshin Impact's Incense Burner Of Liyue [625]

The two behind-the-bush spectators had no idea what the people they were spying on were really thinking—just as Gu Sanqiu was completely baffled by Eula’s thought process.

“You want me to take your shift?”

Gu Sanqiu pointed at himself, incredulous. “Weren’t you the one who...

Genshin Impact's Incense Burner Of Liyue [624]

Eula turned and led the way. Gu Sanqiu followed without hesitation.

There wasn’t any trace of Abyssal energy on her, and her speech and mannerisms were unmistakably Eula’s—so there was nothing to worry about.

Even if Lumine decided to send another one of her "Grace Brothers" to ...

Genshin Impact's Incense Burner Of Liyue [623]

Though his words were as unreliable as ever, Venti’s promise came from a place of genuine concern. That much, Gu Sanqiu had to admit.

“By the way, since you know what this seal is... can you tell me what it actually is?”

Gu Sanqiu asked curiously, “Honestly, I think t...

Genshin Impact's Incense Burner Of Liyue [622]

So that’s what he meant.

Gu Sanqiu understood now. It was a fair question, really.

Your parents letting you play video games was one thing—but being able to decide on your own when to play? That was entirely different.

Even the most open-minded parents who ...

Genshin Impact's Incense Burner Of Liyue [621]

The farce had come to an end—or rather, the Knights of Favonius had once again thwarted an enemy plot and made a major contribution to Mondstadt’s peace and stability.

At least, that was the official line.

Gu Sanqiu and Venti, two people who had nothing to do with the paperwork, w...

The Weapon Master Shall Never Die Bare-Handed in Genshin Impact [445]

This—was by far the most humiliating scolding Schubert had ever received.

In the past, even when faced with the contempt of Mondstadt’s citizens, Schubert could still comfort himself with his noble lineage—as a descendant of Mondstadt’s old aristocracy.

But Jia Changjiang’s ...

The Weapon Master Shall Never Die Bare-Handed in Genshin Impact [444]

“Alright, I’ll continue looking into this,” Jia Changjiang said with a wave. “Wait for good news from me.”

“Mr. Jax.”

Just as he was about to leave the Grand Master’s office, Jean suddenly called out to him. “Why is it… you’re always so willing to help Mondstadt?...

The Weapon Master Shall Never Die Bare-Handed in Genshin Impact [443]

“Mr. Jax… you seem to care quite a bit about the Lawrence clan,” Jean said, her gaze tinged with curiosity as she looked at Jia Changjiang.

“It’s not that I care about the Lawrence clan in particular,” Jia replied, frowning. “I just can’t stand seeing descendants disgracing ...

The Weapon Master Shall Never Die Bare-Handed in Genshin Impact [442]

“So… another friend just like that, huh…” Paimon muttered, clearly itching to make a comment.

“What’s wrong with having friends all over the world?” Lumine replied with a grin. “When you're out traveling, isn't it all about knowing the right people?”

Then she turned ...
