Persona: Devil Summoner

Master, Master, it is said that a teacher is like a father. Jiang Tianwei does not want to take advantage, but after seeing Sakurano Ei for too long, he always feels like he is raising a daughter... Oh, no, not that young, it should be said that he feels like taking care of a younger sister.

As they were walking, Sakurano Ei suddenly stopped. Jiang Tianwei also stopped and looked over. In front of him was the movie theater in front of the Shikenjaya. There was a notice of suspension of business on the door. Jiang Tianwei asked, "Why, do you want to watch a movie? I remember there is another one in Shibuya or Shinjuku..."

"My feet hurt."

She squatted down and rubbed her feet with her white palms through the uppers of her brand new high heels. It was obvious that she usually wore sneakers or flat shoes, and suddenly she would feel uncomfortable in these high heels. In addition, a pair of new shoes would generally rub the feet.

Jiang Tianwei walked up to her silently and squatted down: "I'll carry you."

"······Thanks.".

Sakurano Ei hesitated for a moment, probably wondering whether she should do it or maybe it was just her girlish mentality, but in the end, the pain in her feet overcame everything, and she didn't say anything more and climbed onto Jiang Tianwei's back.

Yingying was very light, and of course it might be because Jiang Tianwei was too strong. He carried Yingying on his back and walked to the main road to help her get a taxi. Jiang Tianwei was going to send her to the car and go back, but Fang Zexia said faintly: "Why don't you send her home?"

“…That’s true.”

Jiang Tianwei thought about it and felt that what she said made sense. If someone's feet hurt before getting on the bus, they would definitely hurt when they get off the bus. Moreover, since someone bought his lessons, he did not teach them much, so he felt guilty.

Thinking this, he opened the car door and sat in the back seat.

I don’t know why, although this suggestion was made by Fang Zexia, Jiang Tianwei did as she said, but she was unexpectedly a little unhappy and her face didn’t look very good.

Jiang Tianwei lowered his voice and asked, "What's wrong?"

“······Huh? What’s wrong?”.

Fang Zexia crossed her arms across her chest, floating at a height slightly taller than Jiang Tianwei, glancing down at Jiang Tianwei with a condescending look.

"I think you're a little unhappy."

"Unhappy? Who? Me?! Hahaha, why? On what basis? How did you know that?"

From Fang Zexia's obviously deliberate bullying style of speaking, Jiang Tianwei knew that she was 100% upset again. He just hated himself for not understanding women's hearts, and didn't know what she was angry about.

If you say that Fang Zexia was jealous, but, but it was she who proposed it? It wasn't Jiang Tianwei who wanted to send his apprentice back, it was Fang Zexia who said it!

So I don’t understand.

A woman's heart is more difficult to deal with than a twisted palace!

As Jiang Tianwei thought so, the car drove all the way to the Chiyoda area according to Sakurano Ying's description.

Tokyo is divided into several areas, each with its own "characteristics". For example, when people talk about Akihabara, they think of the residential district; when people talk about Ginza, they think of fashion and luxury; and when it comes to the Chiyoda area, the most famous one is probably the Masakadozuka.

According to legend, the tomb of Taira no Masakado, one of the four great vengeful spirits in Japan, is located here.

Taira no Masakado was a brave warrior who rebelled against the Japanese imperial court at the time, but he was unsuccessful and ended up having his head chopped off by Fujiwara no Hideyoshi. In China, such failed rebellions are numerous, and in Japan, they are also countless.

However, there is one difference between China and Japan. The Chinese rebels like to call themselves emperors. These rebels are basically all emperors, and they take turns to be emperors. Today, it's my turn. In Japan, the only one who dares to call himself the new emperor is Taira no Masakado.

Moreover, there are many legends about him.

As a result, Taira no Masakado was later rehabilitated and successfully promoted from a fool who rebelled against the emperor to a brave petitioner. He is also regarded as the guardian of Tokyo.

It's just... it's very Japanese, it's the Yamato people's innate respect for the strong that's at work.

The car stopped at the gate of a large, antique courtyard, a classic Japanese courtyard.

Housing prices in the capital are the most expensive, and this is almost a universal rule. Similarly, the Sakurano family must be very rich to be able to buy such a large piece of land to build a garden in a place like the capital where every inch of land is valuable.

At the entrance of the ancient mansion, several men in black were standing with serious faces. As soon as they saw the taxi stop, several people immediately surrounded it and asked, "What are you doing?"

"It's okay, just take me home."

Ying Ying said, opened the car door and got out. The people in black looked at each other, nodded, and surrounded Ying Ying and walked into the house. No one said thank you, and no one expressed concern. Maybe this is what the pure underworld is like? Jiang Tianwei thought so.

After watching the few people leave, the taxi driver finally breathed a sigh of relief: "I was so scared, it turned out to be the Sakurano family... Who are you guys?"

Jiang Tianwei glanced at Fang Zexia who was sulking beside him no matter how he thought about it. He had no interest in talking to the driver any more, so he pretended to be indifferent and said, "Mind your own business and don't ask too many questions."

Just this one sentence made the driver understand his situation. He quickly shut up and drove back to Sixuan Tea House obediently. He didn't even ask Jiang Tianwei for the fare. As soon as he saw Jiang Tianwei get off the car, he drove away as if he was escaping.

(Okay, what should I do to calm my little ghost girlfriend down... huh?!)

When the taxi left Chiyoda, Jiang Tianwei suddenly felt a sense of tension in his heart, as if he sensed a sense of imminent crisis. He looked back sharply, but outside the rear window, there were only people and scenery speeding by, and no suspicious people...

(Could it be that I’m being haunted by Taira Masakado’s ghost? Ahahaha, I can’t be that unlucky, right?)

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 457 [Other People's Children] It turns out they really exist?!

A person's name often reflects the hopes that parents have for their child.

Some people are named Bin, which often implies that they are both civil and military, while others are named Yi, which often represents a long and bright future. In this regard, people from all over the world are actually similar.

The same is true in Japan. The "Makoto" in Niijima's name has a meaning similar to that in Chinese, which means serious.

And Shinjima Makoto really lives up to her name and is a very serious female student.

Didn't Jiang Tianwei say before that he didn't believe anyone could maintain the same rigid schedule as when they were students during the holidays? Well, now, "Other People's Children" has appeared.

It is clearly summer vacation now, but Shin Niijima still came to Shujin Academy. In her words, this is the job of the student council president.

But, think about it, during the holidays, even the school is basically left with only the janitor, and without the teacher to supervise, you don't have to work so hard to go there every day...

"I say, President, don't you feel you're at a disadvantage?"

Sitting in the Shinjuku subway, Jiang Tianwei looked at Shinjima Makoto, who was sitting next to him with an English tutorial book in his hand, and couldn't help but ask himself a soul-searching question.

Although students are on vacation, office workers still have to go to work, so the crowds at Shinjuku Station have only shrunk from huge to shoulder-to-shoulder. The only difference is that the crowds have changed from a mixed group of students and office workers to a majority of office workers. There is no essential difference.

The only thing to be thankful for was that the two of them were lucky enough to have a seat available for a while when they got on the bus.

As a result, Shinjima Makoto refused to waste even this little time at school. He is truly a role model for students!

Jiang Tianwei didn't want to go to school today. He just went to consult with Shinjima Makoto to fulfill his mission as the principal and teacher. Jiang Tianwei had realized that he was not a good candidate for the position of a minister, so what he had to do was very simple - to find someone who was a good candidate for the position of a minister and consult with him.

For example, Shin Niijima.

He is the student union president, so naturally he knows the most.

However, this was the most self-defeating decision Jiang Tianwei had made this summer.

So, President Niijima said confidently: "Then let's go to school together tomorrow, and I will help you with some advice."

When Jiang Tianwei heard this, he immediately started to find excuses to shirk his responsibility. However, debate is something that requires experience. Xindao's real debate experience is gained through mediation between various clubs and teachers time and time again. How can an honest and ordinary student like Jiang Tianwei compare to him?

The result of the debate, of course, was Shinjima's words, which made Jiang Tianwei change sides on the spot, surrender with courtesy, and be forced to go to school with her once.

After leaving Shinjuku Station, everything became easier. After all, the only students willing to come to school during the summer vacation, apart from those who were forced to take summer make-up classes, were Jiang Tianwei and Shinjima Makoto.

The huge school was now filled with dead silence. The overly quiet atmosphere reminded Jiang Tianwei of a rumor circulating among Chinese middle school students. It was said that all schools were built on mass graves because such land was cheap. In schools, the yang energy of young people could suppress the yin energy of mass graves.

If it can't be suppressed, there will be stories like "X incredible thing happened in XX school", or "some students saw ghosts" or something like that.

(Damn, why didn't I think of this when we were telling ghost stories together!)

Jiang Tianwei thought about this in hindsight, filled with regret.

However, no matter how reluctant Jiang Tianwei was, he had come. In order not to "suffer a loss", he decided to change his mood and enjoy this "unique" school scenery, just like Ah Q: Hum, have you ever seen an empty campus? To round it off, this is just like a school date!

However, when thinking about the school date, Jiang Tianwei couldn't help but think of Kawakami Sadayo. Fortunately, Kawakami teacher was not in school today... Well? You ask him how he knew? Because when I was squeezing into the subway this morning, I received a text message from Kawakami teacher, inviting me to go fishing in a place whose name I didn't even remember, but Jiang Tianwei pushed it to tomorrow.

Since she invited me to go out and play, it was absolutely impossible that she was going to school today.

(Look, my name is Reasoning, so I am also half a detective. When the time comes, Akechi will be the Detective Prince, and I will give myself the nickname Detective King, hehe~)

Jiang Tianwei secretly mocked Mingzhi in his heart and felt better.

Just when he was thinking about this, President Niijima had already contacted the teacher and got the spare keys of each club. There were many clubs in Shujin Academy, so naturally each club had at least one spare key.

Jiang Tianwei thought that he would see something similar to the ones in cartoons, with many small hooks on the wall, each with a key hanging on it, and the name of the club was thoughtfully labeled.

As a result, Jiang Tianwei felt that the animations were all lies. It was true that the keys had names on them, but they were far from being as orderly as Jiang Tianwei had imagined. There were a circle of small round openings on a large iron plate, and a bunch of keys were buckled inside. It looked very chaotic, and when shaken, it would make a metallic collision sound, just like a magic weapon.

It seems that no matter in China or Japan, everyone finds keeping keys a very troublesome task in life.

Shinjima took Jiang Tianwei to visit each club one by one. While introducing the situation of each club to Jiang Tianwei, she skillfully counted how many things were being used in these clubs and made statistical tables.

According to her, this is to check the fixed assets of various clubs. To prevent someone from blindly submitting reports to approve funds. It is said that the school is a small society. Seeing the content of Xindao Zhen's work, Jiang Tianwei was really convinced.

However, this troublesome task was not completely without help. Looking at the "fixed assets" of various societies, Jiang Tianwei also had a rough idea of ​​his own "Chinese Culture Research Society".

First of all, you need tables and chairs, right? We can't all stand together to chat and hold meetings, right? That's too shabby. Secondly, you need some daily necessities, such as kettles and cups, right? Then there are cabinets for various sundries.

According to Shinjima, under normal circumstances, clubs must first report the number of members before approving funding. For example, if there are three people in our club and we apply for 100 million chairs, the funding will definitely not be approved. On the other hand, if there are 50 people in the club and you only apply for one chair, that is also unreasonable.

As we all know, once people's own interests are involved, they are often willing to say a little bit of exaggeration for their own benefit. There will always be false and exaggerated parts in the approval form of the club's funds, and it is the job of the student union to find these unreasonable funds and reject them reasonably.

This is also why, although Shinjima Makoto is considered a good student in the eyes of other students, he becomes a miser in the mouths of the leaders of various clubs.

"So, what kind of club are you going to start?"

Before they knew it, the two of them had been busy until noon, and they sat at the stairs leading to the rooftop to take a break.

Jiang Tianwei originally thought that since they were inspecting the clubs anyway, why not just find a club room to sit down and rest? But Shinjima disagreed and firmly stated that even if no one was there, they could not use other clubs' things at will. This also applies to classrooms. Then, although the two of them had to inspect other rooms in the afternoon, Shinjima still went to the faculty office to return the key first.

He is a really serious person.

Shinjima sat on the stairs, feeling a little tired. Although it didn't seem like much physical labor, the mental fatigue made her a little listless. After all, she was now a senior in high school, preparing for the college entrance exam, being a thief, and the student council president, and she had to work hard. It was really hard.

In order to change her mood, she took the initiative to chat with Jiang Tianwei about other topics, trying to distract herself.

Jiang Tianwei was searching for a good takeaway restaurant on his phone. Originally, Xindao Zhen suggested that they go out and find a restaurant to eat, but Jiang Tianwei flatly refused. He really didn't want to go. Although he still had plenty of energy, he didn't want to move mentally.

When he heard the president asking him, he was silent for a while before he stammering, "It's probably the kind of club where everyone works together happily to do something."

Shinjima shrugged his shoulders, showing a relaxed expression, and half-jokingly said, "If it were me who was to review it, you wouldn't even be able to join the club."

"Then I have to thank you. I really want to bribe you so that you can shut down this crappy club of mine!"

Jiang Tianwei put his hands together and bowed devoutly to Shinjima Shinjima as if he was worshipping Buddha. Shinjima Shinjima was amused by him and said with a smile: "Your club is appointed by the principal. I can't stop it. Come on."

While the two were chatting, they suddenly turned their heads together. At the staircase not far away, a faint sound came from the iron door.

Xindao was really shocked: There should be only him and Jiang Tianwei in this school? How could there be a sound? Could it be a ghost? ! "

Although it was broad daylight, Shinjima couldn't help but feel cold all over.

It seems that Jiang Tianwei’s special training for her was effective - she is now more and more afraid of ghosts!

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 458 There are many types of stealth

As a staunch proletarian fighter, Jiang Tianwei was an atheist.

Even though he would occasionally pray to God, occasionally ask God to help him win the lottery, deep down he didn't believe in these things.

He might still have a little respect for gods, but ghosts? Haha, come on, if you dare to show up, I will smash your ghost head! Let it understand the truth! In short, the ghost head understands the truth! - It feels like this ghost has become cute all of a sudden!

Jiang Tianwei was making up some voice actor jokes in his mind while standing at the front, protecting Shinjima Shin all the way to the rooftop.

The rooftop had been sealed off a few months ago after Shiho's failed suicide attempt. No one should be able to go up there now.

"Could it be, could it be a dead evil spirit..."

Shinjima followed Jiang Tianwei tremblingly, holding onto his shirt with his cute hands. Jiang Tianwei sighed, "Suzui didn't fall to death, so where did the evil spirit come from..."

"Well, maybe it's some other evil spirit!"

"Well, you really are afraid of ghosts, President. It's okay, it's okay..."

While comforting him, Jiang Tianwei casually took out the exquisite little gadget he had bought in Rome before. It was a small pendant with a dragon, a cross, wings and a rose. He had never had the chance to give it to anyone, so it had always been hanging on Jiang Tianwei's wallet.

Now he pointed the end of the cross at Shinjima Makoto and continued, "If there really is a ghost, I will perform a soul salvation for you."

“Then I’ll leave it all to you!”

Shinjima Makoto didn't dare to look up at all, but just kept hiding his head behind Jiang Tianwei.

The door to the rooftop was closed but not locked.

Just this one detail made Jiang Tianwei certain that this was not a ghost, but a human.

Why? Because we all know that ghosts cannot open doors. Ghosts, which have no physical form, can pass through walls and do not need to go through the trouble of opening doors, such as Fang Zexia.

By the way, Fang Zexia didn't follow Jiang Tianwei today. I don't know what she was upset about. She went to talk to Nuwa alone. Jiang Tianwei could only go out alone, but this was also good. Otherwise, if Xindao really knew that there was a female ghost following him, he would definitely feel uncomfortable.

As for the other kind of ghosts, such as zombies, these ghosts have physical bodies. Based on Jiang Tianwei's many years of experience watching movies and playing games, these monsters are either blocked by the door and can't get in, or they directly tear down the door. Who will find the key to unlock it for you? !

Therefore, only humans can do such things.
