The next day, Aili and Shijian Kotoo went out together.

For Ailly, this doesn't matter. Anyway, you can go anywhere with a beautiful and cute girl.

But it was very troubled for Xijian Qinyin. This was the first time she went shopping with Aili alone. Although she had made various plans before, she had no idea about Aili's preferences... Xijian Qinyin had no idea about it.

"That...Miss Ally wants to buy something?"

"No, if there were any, I would buy it myself."

“……………………………”

That's right, although everyone is both high school students, Ailie is a magician and the president of a large company. She has achieved more than one small goal, and the financial resources of both sides are just apart.

"Then...what...what is Miss Ally's place to go?"

“HOTEL.”

"Why?"

"Nothing, it's better to be too early... What do you think?"

"Ah, then, how about we go to the art exhibition?"

"Art exhibition?"

"Well, there was a painting exhibition of Mamai Ichirizawa in an art gallery nearby. He is an honorary Japanese painter."

"……………All right."

Although Aili was not very interested in painting itself—of course, it would be a different matter if it was Eriri's comics. However, considering that this was a date, she naturally had to follow the woman's wishes, so she nodded. Seeing that Kotoo was relieved, Xi hurriedly took Aili to the art gallery.

"Very good! Then it's time for our monster thieves to go out again! We must succeed this time!!"

However, just as Aili and Xijian Qinyin walked to the overpass across the street, suddenly, a loud scream came from a distance. Hearing this sound, Aili raised her eyebrows, then grabbed Xijian Qinyin and pulled her to hide in the corner.

"What's wrong? Miss Ally?"

"Shh."

Aili made a low gesture, indicating that Xi saw Qinyin not to speak for the time being. Then she leaned her head to look at the place where the sound came out, and saw that four young people were standing there on the side of the overpass crossing. On the surface, they seemed to be just chatting, but if you look closely, you will find that these people were the subjects of Aili's investigation.

Ren Ai Miyaki, Apricot Takamaki, Ryuji Sakamoto and——Who is that guy?

In addition to the three of them, this time there was another black-haired boy who looked almost the same age and was dressed very seriously. His appearance looked a little slender, giving people an artistic feeling. The bad boy Sakamoto Ryuji was waving his fists now, looking quite excited.

"Okay, let's go!!"

Watching the four of them turn and leave, Xi saw Kotoin looking at Aili curiously.

"who are they?"

"Member of the Heart Monster Thieves."

"Is that weird thief group talking about them?"

Of course, Shikami knew about this, but most people accepted Aili's explanation, thinking that it was just a prank that wanted to take advantage of the hot topic.

"That's right, the black shadows we saw around the castle that day should be them..."

Speaking of this, Aili was silent for a while, then grabbed Xijian Kotoo's hand.

"By the way, Qinyin, are you interested in having an unusual date?"

"……………Why?"

So, the shopping date I originally booked became a follow-up action. Aili and Shimikoto followed the four people quietly. From the words of Ryuji Sakamoto just now, they seemed to have to take some action again. This is normal. From the surveillance, Aili has learned that Ryuji Sakamoto was very dissatisfied with the Yashida incident being stolen by him. If they didn't plan to stop, they would definitely want to make big news. Now it seems that they are going to take action again.

So the two of them followed, and then they arrived at the venue of the Madara Art Exhibition.

"They will choose people."

Looking at the scene in front of him, Aili couldn't help but squint her eyes, and Xi was somewhat surprised to see Kotoo.

"Does the monster thieves plan to target Mr. Madara?"

"It seems that's the case now. After all, the painter has attracted a lot of attention recently on the art exhibition on Xianshen Island. If he aims as his goal, it will obviously attract a lot of attention."

Aili whispered, and then Xijian Qinyin and walked into the art gallery.

To be honest, in Aili's opinion, she really has no interest in the art exhibitions in the art gallery. If it is Yingliri or a manga painted by Shiba, she is still interested in reading it. However, this feeling of abstract art paintings like a fool is like a fool, and Aili has no appreciation and experience. Instead, Xi saw that Kotoo was very immersed in watching it. She nodded and looked forward while nodding and forward while nodding and facing forward.

Then Xi saw that Kotoshi's expression became a little strange.

"What's wrong?"

Ailly doesn't know how to appreciate these postmodern neurotic works that are not fructuous, but her level of observing girls' expressions is first-class.

"Ah, sorry, what do you mean..."

Hearing Aili's inquiry, Xi saw Kotoo scratching her head and showed some doubts.

"Every painting here is great, but I always feel like something is wrong. I always feel that the emotional expression of each painting is very intense and completely different."

"Didn't it be said in the publicity? A genius painter with a variety of painting styles?"

"Although this is the case, I always feel that these feelings are not very similar to those shown by Teacher Madara. After all, these feelings are so vivid and passionate. If they are gathered on one person......"

"So what you mean is that these paintings are not actually painted by Matsuo Yiluozhai? This is interesting... Oh, there is something fun in front."

Speaking of this, Aili suddenly found that there were many people surrounding the corridor next to the exhibition hall, so she suddenly became curious and took Xi to see Qinyin out of the exhibition hall, and then looked in front of her.

Immediately afterwards, Ailie saw hundreds or thousands of red letter papers covered with the entire exhibition hall. The content was composed of texts cut from newspapers, just like before.

"A great sinner who has lost all his talents and is a good person, is a first-rate school. You bully others and steal the creativity of your disciples. You are an artist who is not afraid of plagiarism. We have decided to let you confess all your crimes in person. We will take away your twisted desires and keep the "Phantom" of the strange thief group of the heart."

"This, this is………!?"

Seeing the letter paper in front of him, Xi saw that Qinyin had eaten it immediately, while Aili's mouth raised slightly and showed a smile.

This is really interesting.

"Come with me."

At this moment, Aili also saw Mama Yiliuzhai who was yelling angrily because of the trailer. Not far behind him was the slender artistic man that Aili had seen before. At this moment, he just secretly glanced at Mama, then turned around and left. Aili also hurriedly grabbed Xijian Kotoo's hand, took her to secretly bypass Mama Yiliuzhai, and followed the art man to the emergency passage on the other side of the exhibition hall.

And there, the other three people from the monster thieves were also waiting for the art man.

"Is that OK?"

The art man looked at the three of them and asked, while Gao Juanxing nodded.

“Great, the article has become cool!”

Immediately afterwards, the black cat lying on Yugonglian also spoke.

"In this way, the treasure should have appeared, and the effect of the trailer is about one day."

"good!!"

At this moment, Ryuji Sakamoto clenched his fists again and shouted.

"Let's just give him some color!!!"

Then, under the gaze of Aili and Shimikoto, the four of them took out their mobile phones. Then, the space around them suddenly began to twist. After a moment, everything that was originally disappeared. Instead, it was a magnificent art gallery in the darkness.

"Is this... Shadow Time? Can they actually enter this world outside Shadow Time?"

Seeing this, Xi heard Qinyin screaming in surprise, while Aili reached out to cover her mouth and pulled her aside. Then she saw the four guys who had already put on a costume of monster thieves quickly slipping into the magnificent art gallery in front of her.

"here it is……………"

"It should be the spiritual world of Madao Yiluzai."

"So what are we going to do now? Miss Ally?"

Facing Xijian Kotoin's curious inquiry, Aili shook her head.

"We just need to watch it."

“………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

“That’s right………”

Aili briefly explained the study of "cognitive and cognitive science" to Shimiami Kotoin, and then continued to speak.

"Now you already know that the three important research parts of cognitive science are the mutual influence relationship between cognition and reality, how to change the cognition of others by changing the spiritual world, and artificial synthesis of Persona. The artificial synthesis of Persona at the Kiryu Institute seems to have failed, and now I suspect that the Monster Thieves Group may have obtained the means to change the cognition of others by changing the spiritual world."

"Can this really be done?"

Shi felt suspicious when she saw Kotoo, while Aili shrugged her shoulders.

"Who knows, if Madashi Yiliuzhai really became famous by plagiarizing his disciple's works... Well, this kind of thing is not surprising. After all, art is very subjective. You can see that the emotions expressed between those paintings are many different, but in my opinion they are all the same messy colors."

Of course, if you want to discuss with me which painter painted the "fruit" is very stunning, then I will not be sleepy.

"So what are we going to do?"

"Just just look at it. I want to see what methods they use to change the spiritual world and cognition of others. This will be a very interesting topic. Then..."

As she said this, Aili reached out to her hand, took out a gun from her arms, and then silently installed a silencer.
