Persona: Devil Summoner

This is why some games are jokingly called "high-configuration" by everyone, because "you need a friend to play with you."

It's obvious that everyone in the Phantom Thieves is just such a lively group of friends.

"Oh my, really, I have to praise you, Miss Okumura's acting is really top-notch! Much better than someone else's."

Ryuji must have drunk too much. From the beginning of the party until now, he has drunk at least three bottles of soda - but, if one can get drunk by drinking soda, then probably only Ryuji Sakamoto is drunk!

(It also profoundly shows that he can't speak. If you want to praise Aomura, then just praise him. Why do you insinuate that others' acting is not good?)

Jiang Tianwei thought so in his heart.

Then Ryuji changed the subject and said, "Ah, if someone had such acting skills when he was a model for Kitagawa Yusuke, I can't even imagine it."

"Hmm, I really hope that someone is self-aware... huh?!"

Somehow, when Jiang Tianwei heard this topic, his first reaction was not himself, but Gao Juanxing.

But, thinking about it carefully, although Yusuke's first target was Takamaki An, but later this group of ungrateful bastards sold themselves out! It almost became a weird work like "Kui! Boys' School!"

What kind of modern David? If you like art so much, why don’t you just take off your clothes?

But, people are just so strange.

Although Jiang Tianwei himself also felt that this "modern David" had a dark history, he was not very happy to hear Long Si clearly say that his acting skills were not good.

"I, I'm not that good. I just imitated my favorite play..."

Okumura Haru felt a little embarrassed by what was said and lowered his head shyly and cutely.

Look, this is a gentle, kind and considerate young lady. How could she roar "You murderer!" Of course, she would not do anything unreasonable, such as crushing the chocolate that was about to be given out with her grip.

"Compared to Haruichi, your acting is superficial, your expressions are exaggerated and a little contrived. Do you know how to act?"

Long Si teased with a smirk. It was obvious that he was very happy because after a long time, he finally had the opportunity to hang out with Jiang Tianwei, the second group. He was just like that. He couldn't stand separation. He only valued the present and didn't care about the future. He just dreamed that everyone would remain the same.

"That's just the misunderstanding of me by the secular people."

Jiang Tianwei curled his lips and ignored him. Suddenly, Kitagawa Yusuke patted his shoulder and said, "I think you are great."

"Shut up, you must be talking about my body! Stay away from me!"

It would be fine for others, but when Yusuke tapped his shoulder, Jiang Tianwei instinctively felt a sense of crisis, and quickly curled up his body and dodged to the side.

Upon hearing the key words, Fang Zexia seemed to have been triggered by an AI, and the little girl stood up with a snap: "Jiang Jiang's body is mine!"

Before she could stand up completely, Togo Ichi-san and Yoshizawa Sumire, who were sitting next to her, pushed her back to her seat. Yoshizawa Sumire stood up politely and bowed slightly to everyone: "Don't mind it, don't mind it..."

"Phew! The atmosphere is just right! Kaito-kun~~So, at a time like this, we should——show off our acting skills!"

With a bang, Oya Ichiko stepped on the table and stood up. In her hand was an empty bottle of Daiginjo, and no one knew where she had bought it from.

Daiginjo is wine, and this female reporter was really drunk!

But, having come to this point, it would be unreasonable for you not to act.

However, before the actors could express their agreement or disagreement, Oya Ichiko continued the topic on his own: "Well then! I declare the first Niijima Family Acting Competition officially open!"

"Don't talk about my house as if it were a party venue. I won't allow you to mess around next time."

Niijima Ya frowned and had a stern face, sitting in his seat like a demon.

Although she doesn't mind the hustle and bustle, she can't stand it if it goes too far.

It’s okay if she doesn’t say anything, but once she opens her mouth, will this drunk woman, Dazhai Yizi, let her go?

"Well! Now everyone has to confess to Senior Prosecutor Niijima! The one with the highest score is the winner!"

"This isn't an acting competition at all!"

Sakamoto Ryuji was dumbfounded. What was going on? How did it suddenly develop to this point? !

Although he really wanted to confess his feelings while the situation was going on, firstly, he wasn't that interested in older sisters; secondly, he didn't have any special interest in his classmates' relatives; and thirdly... seeing how cold Niijima Sae's face looked right now, how could he dare?

This isn't an acting competition at all, it's a test of courage!

"Bubu! Little yellow-haired boy, you're out! The king's order is absolute!"

"This isn't the King's Game!"

Before Long Si could finish his words, he saw Osaka Ichiko wave his hand, and Amamiya Ren cooperated very well and held down Long Si's arm and pulled him back.

“Stop?! Are you serious?! I’ve worked hard for the Phantom Thieves, I’ve shed blood for them! You can’t do this to me! I want to see the leader! Are you the leader? Jiang Jiang, save me, ah ah ah!”

Jiang Tianwei swallowed his saliva. I am trying to reason with a drunkard? Really? I'd better go fight Sukuna. At least the latter has a little chance of success.

If I really go to fight Sukuna, I'm afraid three people will show up now, and three montages will start to brag about myself, saying that I'm the best thief in the country. By then, I'll just ignore it and throw it aside. It's definitely going to happen.

"I want Prosecutor Niijima to be my model for the painting..."

Kitagawa Yusuke actually didn’t understand what was going on, but he understood the rules. According to his understanding, it was just about praising the other person, right?

But he sighed halfway through his words and turned to look at Jiang Tianwei: "Forget it, I still prefer you to be my model."

"I won't take it off!"

Jiang Tianwei pulled Kitagawa Yusuke away.

But he soon regretted it.

You see, Amamiya Ren is suppressing Sakamoto Ryuji, and Kitagawa Yusuke was driven away by himself.

Of the four great men in the Phantom Thieves (actually there are only four in total), three are now missing!

According to the current situation...

"I confessed to Niijima Sae?! Really?! There was not even a moment to mourn for Sakamoto Ryuji, the next person to confess is: Jiang Tianwei!

——By the way, who is the coolest thief?

Shin Niijima: Jiang Tianwei, right?

Gao Juan Xing: It depends on the situation, but... it should be Jiang Tianwei.

Gojo Satoru: Jiang Tianwei, if the three great families are included, the situation might change.

Jiang Tianwei: Anyone other than me and Amamiya Ren, right? "

At a very appropriate time, someone suddenly made a meme sound beside the table. There were only two people at the table who understood the meme, and since Jiang Tianwei didn't say anything, there was only one possibility.

Jiang Tianwei picked up Sakura Futaba, who was hiding beside the table and pretending to be a voice changer with a bow in her hand: "Stop playing around. And your words clearly mentioned someone who has nothing to do with the Phantom Thieves! Let Gojo-sensei go back safely!"

Jiang Tianwei pretended to be stern, but he was relieved in his heart. He secretly glanced at Niijima Sae. This person was not only as cold as ice, but also like an evil demon. There was no doubt that he would be hated by her for confessing just now. If he didn't confess, he would be troubled by Da Zhai Yizi.

Thanks to Futaba, he had a reasonable excuse to change the subject.

Gua! Second dimension, we love you!!!

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 662: From a professional perspective, this behavior is called [Robbery]

Sakurano Ei hasn't been to school these days.

After all, no matter who it is, it is impossible for them to go to school when such a big thing happens at home, right?

She actually didn't suffer any external or internal injuries, but she had been awake for several days and still hadn't been discharged from the hospital.

And as if to make matters worse and deal her a fatal blow, now this melancholy girl staying in the hospital... she... she seemed to have been forgotten by the world.

This is also impossible.

Not to mention that the police are now investigating the phantom thief case. Even if no phantom thief is caught, the police's focus will definitely be on other members of the Sakurano group.

I have to explain here that although Japan is the only country in the world where gangs are legal, it is only legal, and the government has always wanted to ban these uncontrollable factors. So in fact, the real Japanese gangs do not live well, and they cannot be compared with their Italian counterparts.

The survival space for the gangs is getting smaller and smaller, which is why the Kawahara Group is trying every means to whitewash itself, because the boss has long discovered that the path of the gangs is not feasible. In a maximum of one or two hundred years, or even a few decades or even more quickly, the gangs will no longer be able to survive.

Now there is a rare excuse to eradicate the Sakurano Group, a huge gang that has been operating for several generations. The big shots at the top are all very happy and all their energy is focused on the team leader and the bosses at all levels. Who would care about a little girl like Sakurano Ei?

Especially since the entire Sakurano group is protecting her, there is no reason or excuse for them to get rid of her.

But it doesn't matter. She is not a plucked phoenix that is worse than a chicken. She is now a phoenix whose body has been chopped off and only the feathers are left. Let alone comparing her with a chicken, even if she is compared with a feather duster, I have to say that you are so beautiful, feather duster.

In addition, a video of Councillor Shido angrily criticising the staff for arresting minors without knowing the truth went viral online not long ago. Everyone was worried that if they tried Sakurano Ei indiscriminately, they would be criticized. Anyway, all the gang members had been arrested, so releasing her alone would not cause any waves. So they just gave up.

As for the hospital, it doesn't matter. As long as the money is in place, everything is fine. This is a hospital, not a restaurant. If you refuse to leave, you still have to pay the hospital fees. You won't be kicked out by the doctor because you have stayed in the hospital for too long. Of course, the premise is that you can pay the medical expenses and hospital fees.

The overall result is that Sakurano Ei feels like she has become a forgotten person. No one cares about her, no one asks about her. Now she is just lying alone on the hospital bed, playing with her phone. No one at school cares about her, and she only sees the medical staff a few times. As for the other people in the group... it is even more impossible to meet.

Where should I go?

Sakurano Ei saw her reflection in the glass window next to her. She didn't know whether it was because she didn't wear makeup or because she looked haggard, but her face looked particularly pale and her eyes were dull...

If I jump from here, will everything be resolved?

It is said that under extreme circumstances, a height of two meters is enough to cause death. In other words, if a person steps on a stool and falls headfirst from it, he may die, not to mention the window.

If I die...does that mean I don't have to worry about anything?

As she thought about this, she couldn't help but feel sad.

"Yeah, am I coming in?"

Suddenly, someone's energetic voice was heard outside the door.

She was a little dazed for a moment and couldn't remember who the other person was, but she just felt familiar.

The other party opened the door and came in without asking for my consent.

With a nonchalant smile, a spirited temperament, black hair and a spirited face, it was Jiang Tianwei.

Although he had bought a gift for his cheap apprentice in Hawaii before, he started to deal with Okumura's affairs and wise matters as soon as he came back, so he had no time to give a gift to his apprentice.

Now, I finally have the chance, but the situation is so embarrassing again.

"It's you, Master..."

Sakurano Ei smiled, but it was a very faint smile, and you couldn't tell that she was smiling. It seemed more like she was forcing herself.

"How about it, do you want to eat something? I brought you some fried chicken."

Jiang Tianwei shook his bag and said, "On a rainy day, Coke and fried chicken go better together~"

Generally speaking, when visiting a patient, one would bring something like fruit that is easy to digest and helps with appetite. But this time Jiang Tianwei did the opposite.

On the one hand, he considers that young people today definitely love fried chicken more! (At least that’s how I feel about it, put yourself in their shoes!)

On the other hand, when visiting patients, people bring light meals because many patients have just recovered from a serious illness and their digestive ability is not very good. But this is not the case with Sakurano Ei. She is not sick at all. She has simply consumed too much mental energy. After she wakes up, she can just eat whatever she wants.

Although Jiang Tianwei has no research evidence to prove this, he thinks that high-sugar and high-calorie foods like fried chicken and cola will bring a sense of happiness to the other person.

Seeing that the other party didn't answer, Jiang Tianwei didn't say much. He sat on the chair beside the bed naturally and put the fried chicken on the bedside. He firmly believed that the other party couldn't resist the smell of fried chicken.

"Come to think of it, I've been very busy since I came back from Hawaii, so I didn't have a chance. This is a gift for you."

Jiang Tianwei said this, taking out a pendant from his pocket and handing it to the other party.

This is a Hawaiian specialty, Tiki wood carving.

According to the seller, Tiki is the first man in Hawaiian mythology, similar to Adam and Eve in Europe. It has a wide range of functions, such as praying for blessings and avoiding disasters, ensuring the safety of the family and the country, improving hearing and vision, cooling and removing heat, preventing all diseases, protecting the body with golden light, and making everything go smoothly. It can even give you full marks in exams! In short, it is just like all the words used in pyramid schemes, whatever is awesome is right.

Judging from the shape, this little weirdo with bared teeth does have a Hawaiian feel. Jiang Tianwei doesn't think this thing is that good-looking, but if you think about it carefully, aren't many things like this? Men think it's ordinary, but girls just like it. There is even a special word for it, called ugly-cute ugly-cute.

It wasn’t expensive anyway, so Jiang Tianwei bought one with a wave of his hand.

"Um...thank you..."

Sakurano Ei said thank you softly, but from her expression, it seemed that she didn't particularly like this gift.

Or maybe she doesn't have the mood to understand the gift now?

Jiang Tianwei had also felt this feeling of being isolated and helpless, and he could understand the other person's feelings very well. That was why he took the initiative to come over and talk to the other person.

"I say, do you feel now that there is nothing to look forward to in your life?"

Jiang Tianwei said this abruptly, and Ying Ye Ying didn't understand. Although she did think so, common sense told her that she couldn't nod at this time. So she just kept silent.

"Do you feel that you have nothing to care about now, nothing to look forward to, and have lost the direction to work towards?"

"……Um."

The latter sentence really expressed Sakurano Ei's feelings.

She was trained as the legitimate young master of the Sakurano Group since she was a child. From a very young age, she had given up her emotions and feelings as a human being. Because it was too painful. If she had a "self" that was different from the expectations of the whole group, it would be too hard to bear. This state of being the only sober person among the drunk people is impossible if the sober person does not have a strong enough inner self.

Therefore, an obedient puppet would naturally feel confused if it suddenly lost the person who gave her orders.
