Persona: Devil Summoner

"Morgana, I can't do it without you. Come back."

Amamiya Ren suddenly said this.

But, just these words were like a ray of light shining into Morgana's spiritual world.

Many times, expressing sympathy or understanding to dejected people will not have any effect. What they need is neither companionship nor understanding, nor even salvation, but to be needed, to have their self-worth recognized, and a reason to like themselves.

It is unknown whether Amamiya Ren understood this point, but his words were just right, and Morgana's world suddenly brightened up.

"Really? Do you need me?"

Morgana raised his head suddenly, and his expression suddenly became lively - but soon, it became indifferent again.

"No, I will only be a hindrance if I continue like this..."

"Mona-chan, why did you lie?"

Suddenly, above his head, Okumura Haru's voice floated over.

"Before, when we were at home, you said that you wanted to be recognized by everyone, that you wanted to be a member worthy of the current Phantom Thieves, and that you wanted to be their pride. And I have already taught them a lesson for you."

Okumura Haru said this, clenching his fists cutely. Ryuji scratched his head and thought: So that guy was teaching me a lesson just now?! He also said, "Yes, he has already taught me a lesson very harshly!"

"You actually like it here, right?"

Okumura Haru said as she stretched out her arm, probably wanting to show off her room in a very cool way like in movies and TV shows, but this time she touched the dust there and started to cough non-stop...

Morgana quickly jumped out of her arms, "Are you okay, Haru?!"

"Oh, I can't believe Morgana likes this place so much!"

Sakura Futaba had been staring at the moment when Okumura Haru hugged Morgana. She liked this cute black cat very much and used both hands to rub the fur which felt very good.

"Hmm! I, I don't like it..."

"Mmmmm, you tsundere cat, so tsundere and proud~ That's how you should treat a tsundere! Gejigeji~"

Sakura Futaba said, rubbing its head even harder.

Okumura Haru sneezed a few times, and finally looked normal again, saying: "Look, everyone is waiting for you to come back. Don't deceive your heart... I have to apologize to you for this..."

“Meow meow meow meow meow… (What do you want to apologize for? And stop rubbing me!)”

Morgana was rubbed so hard that he couldn't speak clearly, but Okumura Haru still understood what he meant. He said with a soliloquy, "I said before that I wanted my father to repent for the sake of those ordinary people who were oppressed by his father and for the sake of social justice... But, but actually... my real thought in my heart is just..."

Gao Juanxing gently pressed the back of her hand. This small action gave her strong confidence.

"Say it out, you'll feel better after you say it out."

"Well...thank you——Who wants to marry someone like that? I can't stand those pretentious people!——Phew, I feel much better."

Okumura Haru's shout filled her heart with a wonderful power. At the same time as she felt her body losing strength, a spontaneous feeling of refreshment filled her body.

"Wow, when the young lady explodes, it's really amazing."

Ryuji teased half-jokingly.

Okumura Haru said seriously: "Thank you very much, Phantom Thieves - if you want to change your mind towards father, take me with you."

"But if he changes his mind..."

Takamaki An frowned, she knew... what would happen if someone close to her changed their mind. Although she herself was a victim of the Kamoshida incident, another member of the Phantom Thieves, Kitagawa Yusuke, was a legitimate disciple of Madarame. Considering his orphan status, he could be considered half of Madarame's adopted son.

How many rumors has he been subjected to?

Okumura Haru just shook his head silently, and said after a while: "I, I'm ready."

Although this young lady looks delicate, when it comes to making a decision, she is very decisive. She is truly a woman who is gentle on the outside but strong on the inside.

"Okay, then to celebrate Morgana's return, and to celebrate Miss Okumura's liberation - let's go to the palace tomorrow and change our hearts!"

Seeing that the atmosphere had improved a little bit, Ryuji tried to make a summary like the handsome characters in the animation.

"What's the matter, Ryuji? You're in such a strange mood. But I agree. Since the young lady doesn't like it, we should avoid any more trouble."

Everyone looked at each other and no one objected.

Unlike the previous situation, this time, everyone in the Phantom Thieves unanimously agreed to change their hearts to Kunikazu Okumura.

However, it was really a coincidence that these two groups of people chose the same time to change their minds with Kuniwa Okumura...

Looks like there will be some good news after school tomorrow!

Chapter 617 Anyway, it’s time to give you a nickname

Jiang Tianwei didn't know that Yu Gong Lian was thinking about the same thing. He got up early today, tidied up the room simply, and made full preparations.

My stepfather, Masaaki Kawahara, still hasn't woken up today. He was already seriously injured and in a coma, and he inhaled the anesthetic gas, so it's impossible for him to wake up too early. In particular, everyone in the hospital was very kind and no one tried to wake him up.

After all, there are only complicated and trivial matters in the group now, so this kind of small matter can be left to Jiang Tianwei.

Today was the same. As soon as he woke up in the morning, he used his mobile phone to solve several things that needed to be solved immediately.

Now he began to understand why some politicians use Twitter to govern the country. This Internet method is really efficient and comfortable.

At school, Jiang Tianwei thought about it and decided that he should go to class. If he always asked for leave, the school would not do anything to him, but Mr. Kawakami would definitely cause trouble for him.

and……

Jiang Tianwei is a little excited now, as if it is the last day of class before the holiday. In this excited situation, if he doesn't go to school, he really can't think of any good way to pass the time quickly.

Now! Myself! I am really looking forward to seeing Kuniwa Okumura hold a press conference!

If it were a normal day, Jiang Tianwei would probably take an extra day off to explore the palace first. But wouldn't that be personal heroism?

Jiang Tianwei went to school while joking like this in his mind.

The atmosphere in school was no different from usual days, with the same classes, same studies, same lunch, and then the last class in the afternoon, and then school was over...

Jiang Tianwei forced himself to suppress his anxious mood. The road was full of people at this time, and he couldn't just drive his motorcycle recklessly.

Taking the crowded train, he arrived at his destination, the gate of Okumura Food Company. He was the second person to arrive, the first being Goro Akechi.

Today he changed into a plain outfit, tied a hippie-style bandana on his hair, and wore a mask and sunglasses. It seemed to be a disguise, probably because of the psychological trauma caused by the last time fans blocked his door.

The next people who came over were Yusuke and Ichi-San. It seemed that Kousei Middle School had a professional class for gifted students this afternoon. The kind of students that the teacher wouldn't care about no matter what they did. After all, this school focused on art.

Niijima was the last one to arrive. After all, she was the student council president and must be the busiest.

Fang Zejin arrived neither too early nor too late, and all the people on Jiang Tianwei's side were present.

"Okay, now that everyone is here, let's go... ah?" X2

Suddenly, the same words were heard almost simultaneously from both sides of the entrance of Okumura Food Company.

Yu Gong Lian and Jiang Tianwei turned around in surprise. The two teams actually came to the same place, one on the left and one on the right? !

Ah this...

This is too coincidental, right?

Yu Gong Lian looked at Jiang Tianwei, and Jiang Tianwei also looked at Yu Gong Lian. Neither of them spoke.

Goro Akechi quickly came over to smooth things over: "This guy, could he also be a senior from the Phantom Thieves? Let's go to the palace and talk first! It would be bad if we were seen here!"

Both groups of Phantom Thieves probably didn't expect that they would meet here by such a coincidence. Jiang Tianwei wondered in his heart, when did this kid Amamiya Ren become so quick?

Based on his understanding of Amamiya Ren, this guy should hold a meeting first, and then wait for a while. Generally speaking, he has to wait until Kuniwa Okumura does something weird at Okumura's house, such as asking his daughter to do something, or doing something that will anger everyone, and then he will take action. Why is it so fast this time?

This feeling is like in the tortoise and the hare race, the tortoise ran a little faster than the hare, and in the end the tortoise won the hare. Although the result is the same, it just gives people a painful feeling.

No matter what, this is a good thing. Jiang Tianwei was about to transform into Jiang Yunlong and yell, "I've never fought such a rich battle!"

It is indeed rich enough. Look at this combination! Jiang Tianwei and Amamiya Ren, two strong people who can switch personas at will, have the four elements of fire, water, wind and thunder made up by Takamaki An, Kitagawa Yusuke, Morgana and Sakamoto Ryuji, and on the auxiliary level, there are Togo Ichi-ni-san's replacement and upgrade and Sakura Futaba's high-speed analysis and ability enhancement, plus Niijima Shin on the high-speed motorcycle and Akechi Goro who has a universal attack method. It is really very, very powerful.

How should I put it? Jiang Tianwei felt a little bit sorry for Okumura Kuniwa...

Facing this golden lineup, let alone Okumura Kunikazu, even an Olympic Kunikazu would be useless.

Now Jiang Tianwei has not mastered the ability of Okumura Haru. Rather, he cannot understand why Amamiya Ren brought her here. Do you really know what you are doing? We want to change her father's mind. Is it reasonable to let his daughter watch this kind of thing? What kind of devil are you! Is it possible that your nickname is Joker, and your personality has also become Joker (Gotham Joker)? !

"It looks like there's a new face here, why don't you introduce him to me?" X2

Unexpectedly, Jiang Tianwei and Amamiya Lian spoke in unison again, and the two looked at each other and saw the weirdness in each other's eyes. It was true that these two people did not understand each other, but the words they spoke were particularly tacit!

"…I am the beautiful girl thief!"

Suddenly, Okumura Haru stood up and struck the classic pose again. This was Jiang Tianwei's second time tasting the film. He had tasted enough of it, so he decided to serve up The Knight's Ode... The Second Year of Genwa is better than The Beautiful Girl and the Phantom Thief's Two Strike Concatenation!

You see, Goro Akechi is completely stunned because he can't keep up with the rhythm!

Although his face couldn't be seen clearly because of the red mask, one could still see his confusion from his eyes. After a long while, he clapped his hands as if he had suddenly realized something: "Ah, I understand - I am the Phantom Thief Prince?! Is that how it works?"

Jiang Tianwei felt that he was being ignored: "I think it is necessary for us to give our newcomers a nickname."

Amamiya Lian nodded vigorously: "Indeed."

Therefore, in this most heart-changing act of a phantom thief in history so far, the first thing to do is to give the newcomers nicknames at the palace gate...

"As for the nickname, I've already thought of it!"

The first person to raise her hand was Okumura Haru. It was obvious that she really liked being a Phantom Thief. Jiang Tianwei was extremely worried that this guy would write that Phantom Thief was his first choice in the career survey form, or that he would write Phantom Thief in the hobbies column when writing his resume after joining the company.

"Please call me Noir!"

Jiang Tianwei recalled his limited English vocabulary, but couldn't find the corresponding word. He quietly moved two steps towards Shinjima Makoto, ready to quietly ask what it meant without embarrassment. Unexpectedly, Okumura Haru explained it himself: "This means black in French! My dream is to become a righteous heroine! But the Phantom Thief itself is not pure justice. So I use this code name to persuade myself!"

Jiang Tianwei nodded: Well, what is the smell! This is the smell of Chuunibyou, I know it very well! Whether it is using unofficial foreign languages, deliberately using French or German, or giving yourself a lot of hidden settings, I have done it in the past. What, are you going to say next that your axe is actually the devil's axe transformed by Beelzebub?

But if you think about it carefully, everyone's nicknames are either very direct or very immature, so it doesn't matter. Even the leader is called Joker, a nickname that sounds so trendy, so what if there is a girl named Noir? !

Jiang Tianwei couldn't help but look at Dongxiang Yiersan next to him, thinking: She is also a middle school student, and you are also a middle school student, don't lose! Think of a nickname that is more fashionable than hers!

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 618 I decide my nickname

When it comes to nicknames, they can be roughly divided into three categories: one is commendatory, one is unintentional, and one is derogatory.

There is no need to explain the derogatory and complimentary meanings. For example, if you see a fat guy and call him a fat pig, this is derogatory. If you see a guy who looks like Daniel Wu, you call him Daniel Wu, this is a compliment.

Both types are easy to name, but the one in the middle, which has no positive or negative meaning and is just a nickname, is the most difficult.

It’s not that the nickname itself is difficult, but mainly because there is no fixed standard, so people always feel that “it seems to be a little bit off…”

Here, we must praise Sakura Futaba. She saved a lot of time for the Phantom Thieves. She simply gave herself the name Navi, which seems to be the abbreviation of the word navigate.

Her persona is very unique, a flying saucer-shaped persona, which looks very handsome. Unlike other people's personas which "follow you", her persona will wrap Futaba herself inside, making it look like she has entered the cockpit and is driving a flying saucer.

This further intensified Jiang Tianwei's expectations for Dongxiang Yiersan.

Although the name Navi is not very interesting, the persona is amazing! Come on, it's really cool to be able to drive a UFO! It's awesome!

Dongxiang Yiersan also noticed the invisible pressure from Jiang Tianwei - he was staring at him with his eyes fixed on him! Dongxiang Yiersan was embarrassed and used the handheld mask that came with his thief suit to cover his face and not look at him.

After thinking for a while, she said timidly: "Well, I, I play shogi in real life, so why not, just call me chesser..."

This simple and straightforward nickname is actually quite good.

It's concise and clear, and most importantly, it's very clear. You can tell it's her right away.

But Jiang Tianwei shook his head.

No, it's not cool enough. This name is too straightforward. It can't compare to Navi! You can at least translate it into German. So how should the German word for chess player be pronounced?

Perhaps because Jiang Tianwei had such a gloomy face, Shinjima thought he was seriously thinking about a nickname, so he suggested: "Considering that she is more of a support type, how about calling her counselor? Wouldn't that be too long and difficult to pronounce?"

Shin Niijima tentatively made a suggestion and secretly glanced at Ryuji Sakamoto at the same time. As expected, Ryuji lived up to everyone's expectations with a "space cat face" expression. He probably didn't understand the two English words at all. It was so consistent with his personality!

Jiang Tianwei still shook his head. If he had to ask why, the reason was still the same: it wasn't cool enough!

Yu Gong Lian frowned. He thought both nicknames were good. He didn't know why Jiang Tianwei was not satisfied. Since there was nothing wrong with the nicknames themselves, then what were the problems?

As Amamiya Lian thought about this, he couldn't help but start thinking about Jiang Tianwei's characteristics. Then, he suddenly had an idea: "How about combining these two nicknames together?"

Jiang Tianwei said with disgust: "Counselor-chesser?! What grudge do you have against my tongue?!"

"But the abbreviation is CC."

"Fuck, you sound like Fukuyama Jun, and your words sound like Lelouch - but I like it."

Jiang Tianwei had to admit that, although Amamiya Ren looked silly and cute most of the time, he would sometimes say something shocking, such as when he said "Come on, modern David", it was like an option designed for the protagonist in an RPG game purely for comedy!
