Persona: Devil Summoner

With Jiang Tianwei's words, a group of comments suddenly broke out on the barrage: "I can be your sister", "Can a male sister be okay?", "I want a male sister, I want a male sister", "How can we be siblings if we are of different genders", "Jiang Jie (violent remarks)". This triggered a cheerful atmosphere in the live broadcast room. Jiang Tianwei laughed, scolded, and joked with the barrage, indicating that the serious suggestion session had ended.

Niijima Sae in front of the screen seriously thought about the soul-searching questions asked by Jiang Tianwei...

She knew these answers before and still remembers them now. But ever since her sister denied her movie tickets, she lost her confidence and could not help but start to doubt whether she had made a mistake...

Besides, speaking of not washing clothes together... Niijima Sae quietly pulled up her collar and sniffed hard. She herself doesn't smoke, but she drinks occasionally. After all, in this society, it's really hard to resist if you don't numb yourself with alcohol...

However, just because you don’t smoke doesn’t mean that people around you don’t smoke. Maybe you are used to being in places filled with cigarette smoke and as a result, you’re covered in the smell of cigarettes?

Just when Niijima Sae was thinking this, there was a knock on the door! Niijima Makoto's voice came through the door: "Sister, I'm going to wash clothes, do you have any to wash?"

"I--"

As soon as she said the word "I", she immediately thought of Jiang Tianwei's words and changed her words quickly: "I don't have any, just wash your own."

"Oh."

Shin Niijima responded and left. Sae Niijima felt as if all the bones in her body had been pulled out, and she collapsed in front of the computer desk: "Ah... dealing with my sister... is so difficult..."

Chapter 698 Who is not a female high school student?

A great philosopher once said a hard truth: Practice makes perfect.

If you search online, you will find that the source of this sentence is all kinds of strange, from Marx to Confucius, spanning thousands of years and many eras, as if everyone could be the original author of this sentence. It also indirectly proves that practice makes perfect, and you can't just think about searching online.

There are many similar sayings, such as: Seeing is believing; What you learn from books is always shallow, and you must practice to know it thoroughly; You will regret not having read enough books when you need them, and you will not know the difficulty of things until you have experienced them...

These sentences all emphasize one core point: "practicality".

Why did Jiang Tianwei suddenly transform himself into a philosopher and start engaging in this kind of philosophical thinking?

This is because he is now at a level where he has to engage in philosophical thinking, otherwise it will be difficult to convince himself.

Now, Jiang Tianwei is in the Niijima family.

This is easy to understand, it's bail pending trial.

Shin Niijima went to class, and Jiang Tianwei wanted to go too, but Sae Niijima detained him before he left and very forcefully applied for sick leave for him.

At the beginning, Jiang Tianwei was still wondering if there was any action from his superiors that required his cooperation.

But then I thought, something’s not right?

If there really was some action from above, couldn't they just explain it to the school? Just say that the thief Jiang Tianwei needed to cooperate with the investigation and that was it. Why lie and ask for sick leave?

Then, Niijima Sae went upstairs.

There is nothing strange about this. It is very common for someone like Niijima Sae to change into work clothes and put on makeup before going out. No one really thinks that the "youth is bright gray" around Niijima's eyes is natural, right? Don't be fooled by those youth novelists! That is eye shadow, it can't be natural!

Fortunately, capable career elites like Niijima Sae are not like those in old advertisements who take half a century to take a bath and only come out after their boyfriends have turned into skeletons.

But, the moment she went downstairs, Jiang Tianwei really felt like she was going to die...

Because...she...was wearing...a school uniform today...and it was a high school student uniform.

Although Jiang Tianwei couldn't tell which high school the person was from, he could tell from the details of the sailor suit that it was a school uniform, and there was even a school badge on the chest...

Today, Niijima Sae tied her hair into a low ponytail. Her upper body was a clean white sailor suit, but from some details, it can be seen that it has been worn many times, especially the cuffs, which have obvious signs of wear. Her lower body was a dark pleated skirt, and her well-trained legs were cut off at the knees by the socks and skirt. On her feet were small leather shoes that looked very student-like...

The clothes are good clothes.

People are also beauties.

But when put together, there is a feeling of time and space confusion...

Niijima Sae doesn’t look old, but if you insist on saying she’s a high school student, it’s a bit… weird…

Moreover, Jiang Tianwei would instinctively think that the woman with the grey ponytail in front of him was the white-collar worker he was familiar with, not some student girl...

(Why is she wearing this? Is she hinting at something?)

As soon as this thought popped up in Jiang Tianwei's mind, he immediately dismissed it: (How is it possible! Don't be too humble! Jiang Tianwei! The woman in front of you is a very rational and fair senior prosecutor! She has common sense! She has never been in contact with Mr. Maruki, so there must be no problem. And even if she wants to seduce me, she shouldn't wear a school uniform! I must be overthinking, think carefully! Think seriously...)

"Ah! I understand!"

Suddenly, an idea flashed in Jiang Tianwei's mind, just like the New-Type in the Gundam series.

However, this sentence made Niijima Sae, who was walking down the stairs with shame, shudder all over... and there was an uproar in his heart: (He knew!? Did he notice that I registered an account and secretly consulted him?! How embarrassing...)

When Niijima Sae thought of this, her face turned even redder.

Seeing her blush, Jiang Tianwei became more certain of his speculation. After all, he had been fighting with Bai Zhongzhi for so long, so he still had some basic reasoning skills.

"I see. There must be some major case that requires Prosecutor Niijima to go on a secret visit... No, should I say, go out in plain clothes? In short, she is dressed like this to collect intelligence? This job of prosecutor is really hard..."

I have to take back what I said before. It seems that he has not learned Bai Zhongzhidou's reasoning ability that is almost like predicting the future.

When Niijima Sae heard this, he quickly took advantage of the situation and said, "That's it. It's a work requirement."

"What kind of work? Are you investigating a certain school?"

"Uh... ahem, the content is confidential!"

"Oh."

Jiang Tianwei responded without asking any more questions. He was not curious about such secrets. Curiosity kills the cat, comrades! Besides, they have already said it is a secret. Isn't it a bit "sly" to keep asking about it?

"Then I wish you a safe journey... Shit, I don't want to go too, do I?"

Jiang Tianwei suddenly realized that this person asked for leave for him definitely not to let him stay at home idle!

Niijima Sae nodded slightly, suppressing the shame of having to wear a sailor suit at such an old age, as well as the guilt of lying.

That's what she thought.

Why don’t I understand what high school girls are thinking?

Isn’t the core reason that I’m not a high school girl?

On the other hand, if I dress up as a high school girl and experience the life of today's high school girls myself, would I have a better understanding of my sister?

As for why I brought Jiang Tianwei with me...

This is the source of Niijima Sae’s guilt.

It's easy to imagine that for a serious public official like her, it takes a lot of courage to go out on the street dressed like this. Moreover, she also has to be prepared for being discovered.

If you are discovered, then you will need a reasonable and very effective way to escape from the public eye.

Finally, the method chosen by Niijima Sae was: Jiang Tianwei.

If someone spots me, I can immediately say, "Look! A thief!"

Then, taking advantage of the uproar in the crowd, he escaped in the chaos.

Or he could repeat what he just said to Jiang Tianwei: "I'm on a secret mission. Look, the Phantom Thief is here too."

Apart from this kind of emergency, Sae Niijima also needs someone to give her advice and tell her what a high school girl should be like.

Jiang Tianwei acted very calm and rational, and did not notice the truth that Niijima Sae was blushing.

But someone discovered it.

That is the most genuine and pure JK in this room - Fang Ze Xia.

Now she only hated why this place was not a game space, otherwise she could just borrow a life from other players.

She has also seen quite a few ghost movies, in which many evil ghosts have the ability to "possess" a person, but unfortunately, Fang Zexia does not possess such powerful magical powers, otherwise she would definitely have possessed her by now.

She now hates her ghost identity! She just wants to be alive again! Is there no secret method to revive? Modern medicine is so advanced! Why can't we revive the dead? Scientists, what are you doing?

"Anyway, I'll help you for now... Where are we going?"

"Um... I'm going to go to a place where there are... high school girls who might go there."

Niijima Sae blushed and spoke softly.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 699: Tough Decision: Who Should I Chase?

Where might a high school girl go?

Ask Jiang Tianwei this question, he is very - inexperienced.

Although there was no little girl pestering him backstage and asking, "Brother Jiang, Brother Jiang, how many high school girlfriends do you have?" but as an international thief, he still had to say responsibly: he did not understand high school girls, his drama was not nonsense, and his adaptation was not a random fabrication, otherwise he would have to apologize to the whole of Japan!

Although there are a few girls in the Phantom Thieves, they are all... a little... too individualistic and not representative enough.

For example, can Yusuke Kitagawa represent artists? Can we say that all artists are weird just because he is a weirdo?

For example, Jiang Tianwei, can he represent Japanese male high school students? He is far inferior to those superhero high school students who went to another world!

Similarly, whether it is Takamaki Anne or Niijima Makoto, whether it is Yoshizawa Sumire or Yoshizawa Kasumi, as well as Okumura Haru and Sakura Futaba, none of them can be considered [ordinary] female high school students.

But Jiang Tianwei had to shoot now. He had seen the shameful look on Sister Xindao's face. He thought about his sister's iron fist punishment. Since ancient times, the fighting power of the elder sister must be equal to or even stronger than that of the younger sister. Jiang Tianwei didn't want to experience it in reality.

Therefore, he could only make use of his experience in Japanese animation...

"A crepe shop..."

Niijima Sae frowned.

This really has a youthful feel.

However, there is a huge problem, which is that Niijima Sae's essence is still to understand her sister. Although her sister doesn't hate this crepe, she can't say that she likes it either, right?

But as soon as she thought about this, her frown immediately relaxed: Isn't it because I don't understand my sister that I have to do such a shameful thing to try to deepen my understanding? How can I have a preconceived idea?

Jiang Tianwei also noticed the change in her expression. As the saying goes, one only regrets not having studied enough when one needs it. Now he only regretted why he had not studied the psychology of micro-expressions.

When Niijima Sae saw the crepe shop, he first frowned, then relaxed his brows. What does this change in expression mean?

(Could it be that the answer I gave was not what she wanted? No, if that was the case, she would have no reason to relax her brows. Ah, I understand! Could it be that there is some pervert who specifically targets high school girls!)

The crimes committed by criminals in this world often cannot be explained by common sense.

Some people are more common-sense, and eventually go down the road of crime for the sake of money, beauty, revenge, or venting their anger. This is understandable.

But there are some people whose criminal logic is very inexplicable. For example, if they see a girl with loose hair, they must braid her into a ponytail, or if they see a little girl with yellow hair, they must kill her... Considering the national conditions in Japan, it is easy to understand that there is a pervert who specializes in targeting female high school students!

(So, she wasn’t upset because she didn’t come to the right place, but because she didn’t find any perverts…)

While she was at the crepe stall, Jiang Tianwei lowered his voice and asked Fang Zexia, "Is there any pervert around here who looks like he would attack high school girls?"

"Yes. Not only will they target high school girls, but they will also target female ghosts, female detectives, female doctors, female teachers, and female prosecutors."

Fang Zexia pouted and said something insulting to him. Hearing the strong jealousy in her voice, Jiang Tianwei knew that she was overthinking again: "Now the Xindao sisters are not enemies. You are just narrow-minded. I will treat you to a meal alone later, okay?"

"no appetite."

"Then would you like to watch a movie?"

“I can go to the cinema anytime I want.”

"Then I can only invite you to a love hotel alone, but you will definitely not agree."

Jiang Tianwei used his trump card. Fang Zexia was anxious when she heard this: "You didn't even ask me, how do you know I won't agree?"

"It is natural to judge the present by the ancient times~"

While the two were chatting, Niijima Sae had already returned.

Sae Niijima is not very familiar with crepes. Maybe she is not as familiar with them as foreigners who watch Japanese anime.

After all, she didn't have the extra money to splurge on crepes when she was growing up.

Regarding this thing, a voice actor once made a famous joke: "What is Jianbing Guozi? Jianbing Guozi is a salty crepe." If you turn this joke around: "Crêpe is a sweet Jianbing Guozi", hey, can you immediately imagine what it is?

Seeing her coming back, Jiang Tianwei certainly wouldn't continue to argue with the little ghost, although judging from the fact that when Xindao was really afraid of ghosts, she would shout "Sister, save me", it was likely that her sister was not afraid of ghosts. But it's better to save trouble than to worry about it, so why bother to say one more thing?

"Senior prosecutor Niijima."

"Well, don't call me that here."

Niijima Sae frowned, with a slight sense of shame on her face. She was thinking, she came here to regain her girlish heart, she couldn't be called a senior prosecutor, right?

"Then, what should I call you? Niijima-san?"

"No, that would make me look too old..."

As soon as Niijima Sae said this, Jiang Tianwei firmly believed in his guess: You see, they are just catching those perverts who only like high school girls!
