Persona: Devil Summoner

Of course, someone like Kawakami Sadyo who is familiar with the school structure would not be deceived, but for a new teacher like Maruki who has just arrived and is not particular about details, such a big mistake happened.

As a reliable adult, Maruki Takuto certainly would not just let it go, and as an apology, he took the initiative to invite Kawakami Sadyo to dinner. Kawakami Sadyo originally thought it was okay and wanted to refuse, but Maruki Takuto said mysteriously: "About the incident you mentioned about your friend last time, let's talk about it in detail?"

Kawakami Sadayo was accidentally teased by Jiang Tianwei today. She was feeling very upset and had a lot of thoughts in her mind. When she heard this, she agreed without saying much, out of desperation.

Kawakami Sadayo knew very well that this forbidden love could not be discussed in school, but she never expected that Maruki Takuto would choose beef rice...

During lunch break, these delicious and inexpensive shops will quickly be crowded with office workers who are too lazy to cook.

Although many office workers will choose bento from convenience stores, and heat it up in the convenience store or company microwave, it is easy to imagine that the taste of heated bento is no match for freshly cooked beef rice. Life is already so hard, how can we bear it without eating something good? !

Kawakami Sadaya looked around and saw that the small shop was now full of people. When the two of them first arrived, there were still a few empty tables, but now a waiting line had formed outside the door.

Ignoring the mist on his glasses, Maruki Takuto vigorously inserted his chopsticks into the rice and stirred it. The half-cooked eggs, cooked meat slices, sauce and various side dishes were mixed in his hands. The hot temperature mixed with the strong smell of soy sauce immediately stimulated Maruki's taste buds and made him swallow his saliva involuntarily.

Seeing him like this, Kawakami Sadyo smiled bitterly and said, "Teacher Maruki, there's no need to be so anxious. Come on, wipe your glasses."

As she spoke, she took out the tissue between the two of them and gave it to him. Maruki Takuto said thank you and took it, but did not rush to wipe his glasses. Instead, he asked, "Teacher Kawakami, why did you give me the tissue?"

"Um, there's no reason. It's just that your glasses are blurry..."

"But, just because my glasses are scratched doesn't necessarily mean that I can't see clearly, right?"

Maruki Takuto said as he took off his glasses and wiped off the white mist with toilet paper. I have seen him wearing glasses so many times that his eyes always seem fresh when I first look at them.

It was this statement that made Kawakami Sadayo not know how to respond, and the atmosphere became awkward for a moment. She thought to herself: (Why, do people who study psychology always talk in such a roundabout way?).

Perhaps he sensed the embarrassment? Maruki Takuto wiped the wound and said, "This is what is called goodwill. We judge whether the other person needs help based on our own thoughts, experiences, and life experiences, rather than really confirming whether the other person needs help. There is a Chinese phrase that I think is very interesting, called "Cold and warm are known by oneself", which means that only you know your own physical condition best."

“Ahaha…”

Teacher Kawakami didn't know why the teacher opposite him suddenly started teaching him. Anyway, out of habit as a social person, he used vague interjections to express "I'm listening", and then found a chance to end the topic without embarrassment.

"Sorry, did I go off topic a bit? What I meant was that for many things, only those who are at the center of the event can give a definite answer. What others see may not be the reality. For example, in the case of your friend before, she and that young classmate were truly in love, right?"

Only then did Mr. Kawakami realize that he was actually talking to himself through the tissue paper.

But, for some reason, although Maruki Takuto liked to speak in a roundabout way in the past, his words had never been as difficult to understand as they were today, as if he himself was trying to persuade people from this perspective for the first time. Both the speaker and the listener were novices, so this conversation seemed particularly unprofessional.

Anyway, since Maruki Takuto had spoken, Kawakami Sadyo quickly responded, "Yes, even that young man said that my friend was his best choice."

"I see. But, I'm sure you know that there are a lot of people with good intentions in this society. Moreover, through the screen, it is often difficult for them to truly perceive the true direction of things, so they always habitually look at things with their own understanding."

"······Teacher Maruki, can you be more straightforward?"

Kawakami Sadyo was completely confused. Even though she was a Chinese teacher, Maruki's words just now made her feel that she had learned Chinese in vain.

"To put it simply, we all know that your friend and that student are in true love. It is a good thing to encourage true love. But if the general public knew about it, they would definitely discourage it. Because based on their goodwill, they would think that a teacher and a student falling in love means that the student is being bullied by their power. Therefore, we can come up with several approaches."

Maruki Takuto held up three fingers and said, "First, of course, we should persuade them to separate. This is the most reasonable approach and conclusion. However, we already know that they are true love, so this is inappropriate."

Teacher Kawakami nodded.

"Second, of course, is to persuade this teacher to resign. If it is not a teacher-student relationship, then it is just an ordinary age gap."

Teacher Kawakami shook his head: "I...my friend really likes being a teacher. She won't change her career easily."

"Yes, I guessed that too. Then, there is only a third way left - that is to make people around you understand that this is not a problematic relationship."

Kawakami Sadyo was stunned by Maruki Takuto's words, and murmured: "Is this kind of thing possible?"

"Of course it's possible. If you want everyone in the world to change their minds, then probably only the legendary thief can do it, right? But why do we have to let everyone know? Just like the matter of my glasses being broken, why was it that only Mr. Kawakami gave me tissues among so many people in Japan? Because only you saw it. So I just need to explain it to you. Similarly, there is no need to reach a consensus with those who don't need to understand, as long as the group of people [who will have problems] understand it."

Kawakami Sadyo still didn't understand, but she didn't need to understand.

Maruki Takuto gently grasped her hand and whispered softly, "Azathoth."

For a moment, it seemed as if all the sounds in the noisy shop disappeared, and the air instantly solidified, as if a special filter had been added. Everything seemed to have come to a standstill...

Kawakami Sadaya was in a trance, and when she came to her senses, Maruki Takuto was holding the rice bowl in both hands, slurping up the rice in big mouthfuls.

"Really, Mr. Maruki, you don't have to be so anxious, right?"

Kawakami Sadyo sighed and focused her attention on her own bowl.

(So ​​much meat... If I gain weight, I won’t be able to face Jiang Jiang. I have to control my calories. But if Jiang Jiang comes to eat, I will probably eat several big bowls in a row.).

She thought of her boyfriend who was much younger than her, and a sweet expression appeared on her face. Across from her, Maruki Takuto just lowered his head, with a reserved and gentle smile beneath his fogged glasses.

(This time, I really did something that was not something I would do... Study in the United States.)

Chapter 432 I Don’t Think I’m Very Good at Being a Minister

If you ask what to do right after a battle, it would definitely be eating.

In Norse mythology, warriors who fought bravely would be chosen by the Valkyries after their death and go to Valhalla, where they would live a life of eating, sleeping, fighting, fighting and eating, and repeating this cycle every day.

Let's not talk about what's so attractive about such a monotonous life - maybe it's because the Nordic people are a group of "fighting, cool!" hot-blooded warriors? - Jiang Tianwei was the same. When he came out of the impression space, the first feeling he had was hunger, very hunger.

During lunch break, Jiang Tianwei made full use of his strong physical strength after fusing with the devil, almost jumping down from the stairs, and ran directly to the first floor store to buy bread. Although it is not as crazy as in the comics, where a bunch of students surround the store, but if you go too late, you will definitely not be able to buy popular products.

For example, fried noodle bread.

This was the first time Jiang Tianwei had eaten this. He had only seen it on TV and in games before. He couldn't quite understand the Japanese way of thinking. How could they eat staple food sandwiched with staple food?

But considering that the father of a certain teacher named Yu Qian, whose last name is unknown, eats pancakes wrapped in steamed buns with rice, I guess some people just have an indescribable addiction to staple foods, right?

In the past, Jiang Tianwei always asked Master Liu to help prepare lunch. But today was special. Master Liu and Manager Liu were watching a movie at home to ease the relationship between father and son, so naturally he didn't want to disturb them.

At this time, Jiang Tianwei was holding a pile of bread and kicked open the door of his activity room. This so-called Chinese Culture Research Department was now just an empty shell, and was now used by Jiang Tianwei as a lounge.

In this way, the days of eating with beautiful girls in the stairwell are gone forever - now I eat with beautiful girls in the club room, which is a huge improvement.

Yoshizawa Sumire has an exaggerated appetite to begin with, and the amount of food she brings every day would scare strangers. Now, the large and small lunch boxes placed on the table further highlight the exaggerated size of her food.

However, Jiang Tianwei was not qualified to say anything about her now. He threw all the bread in his arms onto the table, and the pile of plastic packaging suddenly surpassed Jin's lunch box.

"Wow, even their appetites look like a couple!"

Fang Zexia, the little ghost, was trying her best to match her sister up. Upon hearing this, Fang Zejin looked at the bread that Jiang Tianwei had placed on the table, touched her belly, and smiled innocently: "Just like my predecessor!"

Jiang Tianwei was no longer surprised and didn't bother to pay attention to her. He just opened a fried noodle bread and stuffed it into his mouth.

How should I put it? The taste is... fried noodles taste like fried noodles, and bread tastes like bread. It tastes good, but I just can't understand why they don't just eat the two separately.

While eating and complaining in his heart, Jiang Tianwei turned his phone to check the messages on it.

"What are you looking at?".

Fang Zexia floated behind him and looked at his mobile phone openly. Jiang Tianwei didn't even swallow the bread in his mouth and replied vaguely: "Check the battle report."

He is now reading the message Wu Jianmiao sent to him.

This was something he asked Wu Jianmiao to do, asking her to help pay attention to the dynamics next door. If the two of them had another fierce quarrel, he didn't dare to ask her to mediate and resolve it, right? At least tell him so that he can think of other ways.

Although he thought of a way to bring the old and young of the Liu family together, he was not sure that the situation would develop smoothly.

Fortunately, Jiang Tianwei's battle with Huangdi and Chiyou in the memory space was not in vain. It is said that men should use their fists to fight with their hearts, but it is rare to find a solution like Jiang Tianwei's, which is to simply and roughly beat someone up.

Fortunately, if the result is good, everything will be fine.

In fact, sometimes, people are not really that persistent in what they insist on, but have been insisting on it for a long time, and they are used to it, so they are not prepared to change. Sometimes it is habit, sometimes it is a face dispute, sometimes it is a conversation that leads to anger, but more often, there is no reason, everyone just holds their own opinions.

Although Jiang Tianwei did not give the two of them any profound truths in the impression space, the confrontational emotions in their hearts turned into shadows and were defeated by Jiang Tianwei. The two of them in reality just felt much more relaxed, with the knots in their hearts gone, and they could talk things out.

Then, Jiang Tianwei just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard his phone ding. He received another email from Wu Jianmiao with a document attached. He opened it and saw, wow! No wonder he had to send a document. It was dozens of pages long, with pictures and tables. The dense words were even denser than Artemis' fist before!

This is Jiang Tianwei's medical examination report. As comprehensive as ever.

There are also many new standards that are not understood and cannot be measured by modern physical examination standards. Fang Zexia originally wanted to see what kind of weird things this woman sent to her boyfriend, but after taking a few glances, she found that even ghosts could not understand this thing, so she could only stick out her tongue in dismay and float away in shame.

I have to say that Wu Jianmiao is indeed a professional doctor. Although Jiang Tianwei has only fused with demons a few times, she has listed him as a detailed control group. Moreover, to quote the original words in Wu Jianmiao's email: "You can look forward to the next fusion report."

The next time she mentioned did not mean that Jiang Tianwei would get the urge to do it next time, but that she was going to take the initiative to ask Jiang Tianwei to perform some fusion in order to judge the changes that the material would bring to the body.

Wu Jianmiao was probably afraid that Jiang Tianwei would not understand, so at the end of this lengthy physical examination report that could almost be regarded as a quarter of an academic paper, he wrote a comment "all parts are very healthy", so that Jiang Tianwei could understand his physical condition at a glance.

By the way, Jiang Tianwei himself was also very curious about what Wu Jianmiao would choose to merge with him. Before leaving this morning, Wu Jianmiao asked for his phone and turned to the synthesis targets one by one, as if he was strictly selecting the materials that could merge with Jiang Tianwei.

(I'll leave the exploration of this body to Dr. Takemi. I'll just think about my own business.)

Jiang Tianwei sat on a chair, crossed his legs, and ate heartily while thinking.

What are you thinking about? Of course, the Chinese Culture Research Department!

Today, when he just arrived at the class, the principal came to the door of the class and invited him to the principal's office. Then he asked him earnestly and tactfully when Jiang Tianwei was going to set up the Chinese Culture Research Department and what products he was going to produce at the school festival.

As the saying goes, you should never hit a smiling person. Since the principal was smiling so apologetically, he couldn't refuse him. Now he was worrying alone.

Now this club is just an empty shell. There is no application to set up a club, nor is there an advisory teacher. The only member is Jiang Tianwei himself. There is not even a ghost member - but there is one ghost.

The room is only decorated with the most basic decorations. Although the principal said that the club funds will be preferential, if you don’t apply for it now, they won’t rush to give you money...

“There is so much to be done…”

Jiang Tianwei sighed, deeply feeling the difficulty of starting from scratch - because there were so many things to do, he didn't know where to start.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 433 Walls have ears? Hahahaha, that doesn't exist

"Wow, your 'private room' is really spacious."

In the member activity room of the Chinese Culture Research Society (temporary), a voice that had never been heard before was heard.

The man had short yellow hair and walked with a hunched back unconsciously. He looked like a bad boy who couldn't even deserve the lowly title of "gangster".

Although the atmosphere in Showjin Academy is free and you can dress however you want, and there are even quite a few people who don't wear school uniforms properly, it is rare to see a student who so blatantly exudes a bad aura.

It feels like, at the annual meeting, when the leader raises his cup and says, "Everyone, eat and drink, don't treat yourself as an outsider, let me say a few words first...", someone suddenly jumps up and says, "Okay, waiter, take the cups away, replace them with big bowls, and cook another dish!"... What should the leader do at this time? If this kind of person doesn't make things difficult for you, who will?

In the whole school, Ryuji is the only one who has such a little gangster temperament.

He is taking advantage of his lunch break now, and when he heard that Jiang Tianwei has joined a club, didn't he come over to say hello?

He used to be in the track and field club. Logically speaking, the treatment of such sports clubs should not be too bad, especially the track and field club, which is so common that almost every school has one. Naturally, it is also a conservative project. I dare not say how well the club does, right? At least it won't be too bad.

But in Shujin Academy, because of Kamoshida, only the volleyball club was the dominant sports club, and other clubs were excluded. Ryuji's track and field club was naturally the first to be affected. At that time, more than a dozen guys were squeezed into a very small room, and there was no space left after putting down a few wardrobes and tables.

It was difficult for more than a dozen people to just stand in it, let alone change clothes together. They could only change in two groups. It was the first time for Sakamoto Ryuji to see such a large club room. Of course, this was mainly because he had no experience and never visited other clubs.

Jiang Tianwei curled his lips and said unhappily: "You know, our setting is in the process of splitting, right?"

"Hey, isn't this at school, brother!"

Long Si came closer and tried to hook his shoulders, but Jiang Tianwei dodged with a nimble sliding step.

"We have to be careful that walls have ears even in school!"

"Oh, you are too worried! Jiang Jiang! How could such a thing happen? Is there anyone monitoring our school? And planting a bug, just like in an American blockbuster - you think too much!"

As Long Si was talking, he made a telescope with his hands and put it to his eyes. Although he meant to be joking, he didn't expect that what he said was so accurate. Jiang Tianwei couldn't help but think that it might be better for Long Si to learn divination than track and field.

"Alas, Ryuji, sometimes I really envy your innocence."

Jiang Tianwei looked at his phone. Although he didn't say anything, Bai Zhongzhidou abruptly sent a message saying, "No problem, I secretly checked the room. Just draw the curtains."

Obviously, judging from her prophetic answer, there must be something seriously wrong with this activity room...

Jiang Tianwei thought so as he pulled the curtains.

Long Si didn't hear the sarcasm in Jiang Tianwei's words at all, and just thought that his good brother was praising him, scratching his head in embarrassment. Jiang Tianwei glanced at Fang Ze Jin, who had finished her meal and was sitting at the table like a good child. Although he wanted to send Long Si and the beautiful girl away to spend a pleasant lunch break, he thought that this person would come to the temple for no reason, and maybe she had something important to inform him, so he resisted the intention of ordering her to leave.

"So, Ryuji, is there anything you can talk to me about?"

"Hey? No, nothing? I just came to see you. I haven't seen you for a long time and I missed you so much."

Long Si smiled innocently. Jiang Tianwei felt that the veins on his forehead were about to explode: "Get out of here!"

"Hey, why are you shy? Aren't we good brothers who are thieves together?"

"I will die from your mouth one day."

Jiang Tianwei sighed and was thinking about whether to use force to drive Long Si out... Suddenly, Long Si spoke first: "Do you know? Summer vacation is coming soon."

"I'm also a student of this school, why do you think I don't know?!"

"Hehe, do you know what will happen after the summer vacation?"

"School starts?".

"No, no, no, I'm not talking about that kind of fun-killing stuff - it's a school trip, a school trip! Do you know where we're going this time?"
