Persona: Devil Summoner

No, to be more precise, from a physiological point of view, it is possible to sing it, but it is just tone-deaf. Although it is not to the extent of a murder song, it is not good to listen to. If I sing it with Xiao Lishi, it would be like putting a fruit knife worth ten yuan in the supermarket together with the supreme sword of the martial arts world, the Dragon Slayer, which would be a humiliation to myself.

"I, I'm not very good at singing. I, I'll play the accompaniment!"

Jiang Tianwei simply gave it a go, and he raised his hand to the band teacher behind him: "Can you lend me a guitar?"

The band members were also in a dilemma, because this plot did not appear in the rehearsal at all! What should they do at this time? This is the nature of Japanese people as office workers. When encountering problems, they want to find someone who makes decisions and gives them orders.

On the one hand, it is to avoid thinking, and on the other hand, it is also to avoid responsibility. If something goes wrong, just say that someone asked me to do it.

The band looked towards the waiting area together. The manager sighed loudly. What else can they do? Give it to him! Otherwise, there will be no way to end this show? !

So, the band teacher reluctantly handed his eating utensils to Jiang Tianwei.

The only thing he could be thankful for now was... he had previously done various fusion experiments with Wu Jianmiao and successfully fused with a female demon called Saraswati (Benzaiten), giving her the ability to play musical instruments. Otherwise, this situation would have been really bad.

------------

Meanwhile, Kawahara Bank.

Masaaki Kawahara was also handling things in the office today.

From his heart, of course he wanted to spend more time with his family, but on the one hand, he understood very well how difficult it was for a child to suddenly want to recognize another man as his father. Secondly, things on the road had been changing so much recently, and he had to make decisions on many important matters, so he was really too busy to do anything.

The fall of Jincheng made the entire mafia world feel like it had experienced an earthquake. Finally, the disturbance in Jincheng gradually subsided, and the major families were gearing up to fight, contacting other families to discuss how to divide up Jincheng's territory, while secretly planning how to kill other families and become the only one in power.

But unexpectedly, there are fools who jump out to destroy this superficial peace... Recently, the Sakurano Group began to brutally attack the Shibuya area under the jurisdiction of Jincheng, and sternly ignored the "friendly talks" of the surrounding groups.

Now Kawahara Masaaki is having a headache about how to solve the problem.

If he did so, then most of his work in whitewashing the entire group would be in vain.

If I don't take action, all my deterrent power in the underworld will be gone.

If he takes action, he will not be able to explain to the Lion Boy Justice Congressman who strongly supports him.

If I don't take action, I won't be able to explain to the team members who have always supported me.

It’s hard to be the boss!

Just when he was in a dilemma, suddenly, a team member didn't even knock on the door, but just pushed it open and barged in. This behavior made him frown, thinking that the team members were getting more and more unruly recently, and whether he should find a time to teach them a lesson.

As a result, before he could even say anything, the other party excitedly started shouting, "Boss! Quick, look at this!"

He raised his phone, which was broadcasting a live broadcast of Xiao Lishi's concert. At this time, Jiang Tianwei was shouting to the camera with confidence: "I am Kawahara Tianwei, Mina-san~ Good morning~"

"Boss! I saw the young master... Boss, why are you crying? Hey?! Boss?! Boss?!"

Chapter 474: What to do if your child is obsessed with idols?

Jiang Tianwei now understands why so many people like to cheat, because it’s really fun!

The song that Shiraishi Naoto mentioned is indeed one of Rize's representative works. When she was in high school, she even formed a band with her friends from Yasogami High School to sing this song. Because she and her classmates only sang it this time, it is also called the "Phantom Uniform Version" on Rize's fan website.

But Jiang Tianwei had definitely never heard of this song. So, how do you play a song you’ve never heard of?

Here we have to praise Saraswati. This is the goddess of music in Indian mythology. How powerful is this goddess? Jiang Tianwei picked up the guitar and as long as he heard the band playing next to him, he could immediately understand how he should play. Then, with the devil-level neural reflexes, although he heard it first and then imitated it, he could still play perfectly in time.

Jiang Tianwei had never received any music training and couldn't even read musical notation, but he relied on his musical talent and his own reflexes, and while listening to the band's accompaniment he imitated them and he actually managed to play the accompaniment!

At the end of the first zone, Jiang Tianwei felt as if he had been pardoned. He quickly returned the guitar to the band teacher, bowed slightly to Xiao Lishi, gave an embarrassed smile to the audience, then quickly jumped off the stage and returned to the crowd.

Several people standing nearby immediately gathered around and expressed their envy, jealousy and hatred in a low voice, but it was so chaotic that it was impossible to hear what they were saying.

Shirakari shrugged and nudged him in the ribs. "You're quite good, Kawahara-kun. I didn't know you could play an instrument."

"Nothing. My dad taught me in Hawaii."

"Isn't your father a Chinese who died in Japan? He has never been to Hawaii."

Bai Zhong Zhidou complained to him, but the overly "enthusiastic" greetings from the people around them soon drowned out their whispered conversation.

It was obvious that Xiao Li Ze had thought about how to deal with this situation. As long as the music of the next song sounded, the fans would naturally quiet down and listen to the song.

Xiao Lishi's concert did not change much at all because of Jiang Tianwei's little incident. When it was almost over, Bai Zhongzhidou pulled Jiang Tianwei's sleeve and pointed to the safety passage on the side, indicating that it was almost time for him to leave.

It's easy to imagine that, just when he was playing, although there wouldn't be any scouts from big companies handing out business cards, he would definitely be surrounded by enthusiastic fans. It would be difficult for him to get away at that time.

Jiang Tianwei originally came here to accompany Zhidou. Since everyone was leaving, there was no reason for him to stay, so he quickly followed her and slipped away quietly from the shadows.

It was not until he came outside the venue and felt the cool breeze that Jiang Tianwei noticed that his shirt was soaked. Although there was air conditioning in the venue, it could not withstand the dense crowd around him and the heat from the spotlights on the stage.

A few words of digression here, the lights on the stage are actually very hot. Not only idol stars, but also TV anchors or other people who stand under the spotlight will basically put on a little makeup and then be tested by the scorching temperature.

There are even some jobs that do not require showing the lower body (such as TV anchors), and only the upper body needs to be filmed. In fact, on the set, they all wear suits and ties on the upper body and shorts and slippers on the lower body, which is very funny.

Jiang Tianwei couldn't do this kind of work. He confirmed once again that he wasn't destined to be an idol. For some reason, he felt a little relieved.

"How was it? First time to see a concert."

Bai Zhongzhidou casually emphasized three words. Jiang Tianwei didn't hear it, but Fang Zexia frowned and realized that things were not simple!

To paraphrase a famous Chinese saying, the most important thing is to be first! Excluding "coming to the concert", the only thing left is first. Look, isn't the top scholar also first?

However, Shiratonaga Naoto probably got used to seeing Kujigawa Rize being jealous of the various women around Narukami Yuu when they were in Yasogami High School. Now, he not only does not feel embarrassed about Yoshizawa Kasumi's jealous behavior, but also thinks she is a little cute - after all, when it comes to jealousy, she is much weaker than Rize.

"This is your first concert... Hehe, it will probably be an unforgettable experience, right?"

Jiang Tianwei said this with a mixture of joy and sorrow. It seemed that the memory was indeed deep, but it was hard to say in what specific sense it was unforgettable.

Of course, this was based on the fact that he didn't know that his every move today was broadcast on the Internet, and he didn't expect that his stepfather was watching. He even didn't expect...his life would soon change drastically because of this incident.

----------

Still at the same time, Kawahara Bank.

Kawahara Masaaki carefully watched the video on his subordinate's phone. The subordinate was very sensible and kept holding the phone until Jiang Tianwei's scene was over...

Kawahara Masaki then took a breath, and the air in the office that seemed to have solidified began to flow again because of his breathing.

"Is that my son's favorite idol?"

"...No, I don't know...I, we didn't receive any information about the young master liking an idol...It's, it's those guys in the intelligence department who didn't investigate properly!"

When the subordinate heard the boss's question, he broke out in a sweat. His first reaction was to pass the blame to others. No matter whose fault it was, it was not his fault.

"..."

Kawahara Masaaki said nothing, but sometimes, saying nothing makes people feel more uncomfortable than being scolded directly. The subordinate rolled his eyes and said quickly: "Well, haven't we recruited a group of new people recently? I, I remember that Narukami-kun from the marketing department has the ticket! But, can you ask him about this idol!"

He rubbed his hands and offered advice in a flattering manner, but Kawahara Masaaki just glanced at him and continued to be lost in thought. This subordinate now hated himself to death... He ran over because he saw Jiang Tianwei on the screen and wanted to come to the boss to take credit, but when he really came, he realized that he was not prepared at all...

It can be seen that we should not do things on impulse.

After a long time, Kawahara Masaaki finally spoke.

"How much do you think it would cost to set up an entertainment agency?"

"……what?"

"...Call all the cadres above the ministerial level to hold a meeting. Oh, and that Narukami you just mentioned, call him over as well."

"Yes Yes!"

The subordinate felt as if he had been pardoned. He quickly stood at attention, put away his phone and ran away. At the same time, he secretly swore that he would work steadily and step by step in the future and would never dream of achieving success overnight!

In the empty office, Kawahara Masaaki leaned against the back of the leather chair and closed his eyes.

"Do you like the idol Kujigawa Risa... or do you like the concept of idols? Regardless, we have to prepare an entertainment agency."

When he thought about the surprised expression on his future son's face when he knew about this, Kawahara Masaki's rock-like face finally showed a little smile.

Chapter 475: Making Love When Awake

"A-choo!".

Jiang Tianwei sneezed loudly.

In China, there is a common perception about sneezing, which is "one thought and two curses." While Jiang Tianwei was feeling lucky that he didn't sneeze twice in a row, he was wondering who was talking about him.

"Ouch, that's dirty!"

Next to him, Fang Ze Xia, who was perfectly within the range of the sneeze, complained without hesitation. Although she was a ghost, these three-dimensional germs and spit could not touch her body, but the damage to her heart could not be erased.

It's like, cockroaches are essentially incapable of killing humans, but there are still so many humans who are afraid of them.

Upon hearing what Fang Zexia said, Jiang Tianwei said, "This is the so-called physiological need, which is one of the inevitable behaviors of human beings. In other words, this is the law of nature and there is no way to avoid it!"

"How could there be such a pattern! You are kidding me!"

"Ah, you discovered all this. You are so smart!"

"Hey, hey, I'm such a smart girl - do you think I'll just smile like that and let you fool me?"

The man and the ghost were complaining about each other skillfully, and it was very lively.

"No matter how many times I hear it, I feel that it is a rare scene for humans and ghosts to complain about each other. To me, it seems like you are the only one speaking, but there are two voices."

In this boring crosstalk, a third voice suddenly broke in. It was the voice of Chie Satonaka, full of energy and cheerfulness.

Yes, the place where Jiang Tianwei was at this moment was exactly Satonaka Chizhi's apartment.

Generally speaking, the basic benefits of a police job are complete, that is, they will be given a police dormitory. But Chie Satonaka still chose to rent an apartment by herself, mainly because the police job is far from being as easy as everyone thinks. It is really tiring!

Not to mention night duty and patrol, the police station also conducts training every now and then, which is like a plus version of military training during school. And you have to be mentally prepared. If you encounter an emergency case or a case that requires long overtime, you have to be prepared to not be able to go home for a long time...

Under this kind of high-intensity work pressure, the concept of "home" becomes crucial. Whether you can quickly recover your physical strength and quickly relieve mental stress becomes the most important thing.

Today is a rare day off for Chie Satonaka.

Because of the Phantom Thieves incident, the entire Tokyo police station is now on edge and seems nervous.

To ordinary people, the Phantom Thieves may be saviors or big stars, but to the police, they are just a group of criminals with unknown power, but they have not yet done anything harmful to society. In fact, a considerable number of people in the police station believe that the Phantom Thieves are the real culprits of the crippling, but no one has said this publicly.

Even if we don't arrest these people immediately, we should at least find out the basic facts about the Phantom Thieves.

The police are under great pressure now, mainly because the person in charge of this matter, Niijima Ya, is very angry. She has been following Jincheng for a long time, but when she was about to close the net, the Phantom Thieves took action first... In the end, the reputation went to others, but she didn't get any benefits. All the manpower and material resources she had spent for so long were wasted, and she was also scolded by her superiors. The saddest thing is that after Jincheng's downfall, a series of public security problems were all caused by them helping to clean up the mess. How can she have a good temper?

After leaving such a depressing workplace, Chie Satonaka certainly didn't want to return to the police station dormitory which had no atmosphere.

Chie Satonaka's apartment is filled with all kinds of things that interest her. There are big posters of Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan on the walls, and piles of DVD boxes in the corners. A large TV takes up half of the wall, and this is an office without any atmosphere of life.

Almost half a wall. This is an apartment without much life.

It is clear that the owner of this house only uses this place as a channel to vent the pressure and dissatisfaction in reality. All he eats are takeout and lunch boxes from convenience stores. His clothes are thrown casually on the bedside and he is too lazy to put them in the closet. He is too lazy to make the bed - he has to sleep when he comes back at night anyway!

After finally having the opportunity to return to this home full of personal desires, the first thing Chie Satonaka did was of course to invite Jiang Tianwei to her home!

"Please bring Jackie Chan's DVD, thank you!"

This was the message Chie Satonaka sent him.

Jackie Chan, as a memory of an era, has made many popular kung fu movies, and many old movies are not easy to find in Japan. After all, capital has a keen nose, and they will always chase the most fashionable and profitable things. It is natural for DVDs to import some popular blockbusters.

Therefore, DVDs like the one brought directly from the local area by Jiang Tianwei are extremely precious.

For boys of that age, martial arts films are the best entertainment. So in order to prevent Jiang Tianwei from feeling lonely, although the family’s salary is not high, they still squeeze out some money to buy him his beloved Jackie Chan’s films.

As a result, these films have now been targeted by new "predators".

"Alas, I always feel that Sister Satonaka is nice to me simply because she wants to take pictures of me."

After realizing this, Jiang Tianwei sighed and made a helpless expression. He raised the plastic bag containing the discs above his head and shook it twice. The DVDs in the hard plastic shells collided with each other, making a slight clicking sound, and the plastic bag broke into pieces...

To give an impolite but very appropriate example, just like a domesticated dog hearing the dinner bell, Satonaka Chie's eyes suddenly shone brightly, and she almost snatched the plastic bag from Jiang Tianwei's hand and opened it impatiently...

"Ah, thank you~【Thank you】~Three grams of oil~".

She switched three languages ​​at once to say thank you, although they were all Japanese pronunciations. She excitedly searched through the bag, and soon, she excitedly held up a disc. Jiang Tianwei almost hallucinated the famous "beep-beep-beep~" sound effect of obtaining items in the Zelda series.

"That's what I'm looking for~".

Chie Satonaka was holding a disc of the movie "Drunken Master". People on the Internet said that this was the movie that created Jackie Chan's style and that Jackie Chan got rid of the "Bruce Lee-style martial arts"... But Jiang Tianwei had no way to verify the authenticity, after all, this movie was really too early.

He knew about this movie because someone explained that the prototype of Zhen Yuanzhai in the King of Fighters series came from here. (He was the old drunkard who teamed up with Kensou Shii, commonly known as "Baozi", and Athena Asamiya.) As a result, Jiang Tianwei took a look and found that, wow, it can't be said to be completely the same, but at least it is exactly the same!

As a fan of kung fu movies, it is easy to understand why Chie Satonaka is so fond of this movie.
