Persona: Devil Summoner

There is a word on the Internet that is used to describe him - the unfortunate handsome guy. When he doesn't speak, he is a serious handsome man, and no one can refute it. But when he speaks... he can only make people shout "unfortunate".

Kitagawa originally wanted to continue expressing his so-called art theory, but Jiang Tianwei's words, "If you keep talking nonsense, we'll split the bill for this meal," forced him to shut up.

In ancient times, Mr. Wu Liu refused to bend for five pecks of rice, and today, Master Kitagawa shuts up for a bowl of rice. All we can say is that human history is an upward spiral.

Madarame advertised himself as a poor artist, so he naturally wouldn't give his students too much money. So all of Madarame's students were poorer than each other, and Kitagawa Yusuke was the best. Some people might think that Madarame has been proven to be a big corrupt official, so he could give his students a share of his wealth. That would be too naive. In this case, his money would definitely be confiscated as stolen money.

To put it another way, even if it is not confiscated, it must be frozen. Even if it is really inherited, it must be inherited by direct relatives, and it cannot be the turn of an outsider like Yusuke. To put it another way, even if Yusuke really inherits it, Yusuke, an artist, will never accept it because of his temper. This man may be poor, but he still has the backbone of an artist.

"Pfft..."

Originally, the topic of curry should have ended here, and Jiang Tianwei ended everything with a money attack, but unexpectedly, in the room that had just quieted down, the orange-haired policewoman couldn't help but burst out laughing.

She quickly realized her impoliteness, stood up quickly, and saluted the two high school students: "I'm sorry, I, I didn't mean to laugh at you. I just think your relationship is very interesting, just like in "New Police Story"."

"A Jackie Chan movie?"

Jiang Tianwei never expected that he would meet someone talking about his country's movie stars in a foreign country. He wanted to do a tactical retreat and shout out: "What is a world-class star?"

"Well! Do you like Jackie Chan too?"

Jiang Tianwei smiled and said fluently with an accent: "Because I am Chinese."

"Oh! Chinese! [Hello! Thank you!]".

The female police officer on the other side was also very excited when she heard that he could speak Chinese, and she imitated him and said a few words.

In the past, everyone would laugh at the Japanese English pronunciation, calling it "Japanese English." But Jiang Tianwei didn't like English classes very much, so he didn't have any particularly deep feelings about it.

But today, when I hear Japanese people speaking Chinese, it's really funny. It should be called Japanese Chinese... oh, no, it should be called plastic Chinese.

This pronunciation is something that neither Chinese nor Japanese can understand.

"cough……".

The capable gray-haired lady sitting next to her coughed lightly, and the policewoman instantly understood what she meant. She smiled awkwardly, nodded to the two of them, and quickly sat down again, shoveling the last two bites of curry into her mouth. The woman with long gray hair picked up her shoulder bag and left with the policewoman.

When he saw the two people leave, Manager Sakura snorted and was about to grab a handful of salt from the kitchen and sprinkle it on the ground (according to Japanese customs, sprinkling salt can ward off evil spirits, similar to sprinkling black dog blood in China).

"Boss, who are those two people?"

Jiang Tianwei asked curiously. Manager Sakura snorted, without even raising his eyes, and said unhappily: "That's the plague god. Really, a good day off doesn't make me worry. The good mood of the day is ruined."

It can be seen that Mr. Sakura has dealt with that pair of women more than once or twice, and Mr. Sakura's attitude towards them is very clear: he hates them.

I don’t know what the relationship between this woman and Mr. Sakura is. It is said that it is difficult for an honest judge to judge family affairs, not to mention that this honest judge is not Jiang Tianwei himself, so it doesn’t matter at all.

After the meal, Yusuke left muttering contentedly, his mouth full of things like the golden ratio, color matching, emotional expression, a bunch of things that laymen can understand but can't figure out. He went back to the drawing board and continued painting thoughtfully.

Originally, Jiang Tianwei really wanted to stay home and play games for a while and be lazy. But the result, as everyone can understand, is that sometimes it is just like this. Even if there is just one more person in the room, even if this person is very familiar, you can't be as comfortable as when you are alone.

Although Kitagawa Yusuke had incredible concentration when painting, he was so focused that he didn't notice the slight noises he made, which made it difficult for Jiang Tianwei to relax.

(Forget it, I'd better go out for a walk.)

Jiang Tianwei looked at the watch. It was only two o'clock in the afternoon and he still had half a day off. It would be a waste if he just did nothing and just muddled through it.

So, where is Jiang Tianwei going?

Of course it’s the convenience store downstairs.

"Hey, you're always mumbling about how Kitagawa-san is troublesome and his personal space is being invaded, but you still care about him!"

Behind Jiang Tianwei, Ling Fang Zexia floated beside him, giggling and teasing him.

Why did the girl say this? Of course, it was because Jiang Tianwei was choosing things in the convenience store: cups for washing, towels, new toothbrushes, quilts for guests...

Although Kitagawa Yusuke came with a large suitcase, it was filled with painting supplies. Although there was a towel inside, the colorful colors on it were enough to show that this towel was not used to wipe his face or hands, but to absorb moisture from the brushes.

Yes, although the suitcase was packed full, there was not a single personal item in it, and even the only change of clothes was the school uniform. This person was truly prepared to devote his entire life to painting...

"No matter what, since we are living together now, it is reasonable to prepare a set of daily necessities for each other."

"But Yusuke can't give you the money~".

"It doesn't matter whether it's for money or not. When the time comes, just ask him to draw a picture of a beautiful woman for me. This will be the work of a future art master."

"I thought you were handsome just now, but you suddenly became vulgar!"

“Please call me a realist.”

Jiang Tianwei said this, and when he looked up, he saw some cups with patterns printed on them across the gap in the shelf. He was thinking about whether to buy one for Yusuke to use as a toothbrush holder, but...

"Ah, what a coincidence."

Turning around the shelf, I saw a familiar figure. Even on a day off, he was wearing the school uniform of Shujin Academy. He was holding a comic book to cover his face. If you look closely, he was holding it upside down...

This person has short brown hair, red eyes, and looks meticulous... There is no doubt that this person is...

"Student Council President? Why are you here?"

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 122 This, this is not stalking!

Student council president, this profession is also a common attribute in the two-dimensional world.

Generally speaking, he is paired with a rigid discipline master, with glasses and pigtails, or someone who is a little more eccentric and wanders around doing nothing or is full of dirty talk. From this point of view, the student council president of Shujin Academy, Shin Niijima, is a very standard student council president image.

He has excellent academic performance, a serious and helpful personality, has learned some Aikido, and has a clean family background: he has a martyr father and a sister who is a prosecutor. He is deeply trusted by teachers and classmates and is an impeccable top student.

So, when Jiang Tianwei discovered that this impeccable top student in front of him was holding the comic book upside down and covering her face with the pages, and was just short of writing "ghostly" on her face, he immediately understood what she was doing...

(She is following me?! Combined with her previous questioning about the Phantom Thief, could it be that she has begun to suspect that I am the Phantom Thief? How perceptive. No, or is it simply because I hid it so badly? Otherwise, how come Baek Jong also discovered it, and the President also suspected me... Is it really because I hid it so badly?).

Jiang Tianwei thought so. Unlike most people, when he encountered a problem, he would often try to reflect on whether he was wrong, instead of insisting that he was right even if others gave him correct opinions and suggestions.

"So, President, what are you doing here at Sicha?"

Since he had already met her, it would be too suspicious if he ran away directly. So Jiang Tianwei chose to ask questions first.

Shinichi Niijima couldn't help but feel confused when he heard him talking: less than a month ago, when he talked to him about the Phantom Thieves, he looked guilty and couldn't hide the truth on his face. Why did he look completely different now? He didn't seem to be wavering at all.

She would never have imagined that in just these few days, Jiang Tianwei's mental outlook had completely changed.

It is said that when a man has been away for three days, he should be looked at with new eyes. It has been thirty days since we last met, so you need to look at ten pairs of eyes with new eyes!

"I just heard there's a good coffee shop around here. Come check it out."

It was obvious that Shinjima had also prepared himself mentally for what to do if he was discovered being followed, and he immediately said what he had prepared in advance.

This is also a true coincidence. Jiang Tianwei and Amamiya Ren are both on the list of suspects of Shinjima Shinjima, and they are at the top of the list. It just so happens that these two people live in the Four-Room Tea House, and it happened to be a day off today, so Shinjima Shinjima came over to wait for them.

However, Jiang Tianwei was delivering newspapers on a bicycle in the morning. As you can imagine, the female high school student's leg strength should not be comparable to that of a bicycle, so she was left behind. As a result, she wandered around Sixuan for a long time, but could not find Jiang Tianwei or Amamiya Ren. Finally, when she was buying water in the supermarket, she ran into the target of tracking.

As a result, before he could find out anything, he was discovered by the target.

This shows that even top students have their limits. Being able to get high scores does not necessarily mean you are proficient in tracking techniques. The criminal investigation techniques learned from watching TV dramas are still far from the real criminal investigation in reality.

"Let's not talk about me. What are you looking for?"

Shinjima glanced at the shopping basket in Jiang Tianwei's hand, which was filled with several daily toiletries. If it was a replacement, it would be too comprehensive. Shinjima thought for a moment, smiled, and asked, "Are you going to replace all the daily necessities with a new set?"

(There must be something wrong when something is abnormal. Jiang Tianwei would not change his toiletries for no reason. This means that there must be something going on in his home that forced him to change it.).

Shinjima really thought so.

"Well, they say that after using daily necessities for a few years, the bacteria on them will be as numerous as those on toilets, so of course they should be replaced with new ones after a period of time."

Jiang Tianwei pretended to be calm and spoke nonsense.

"Is that so - I say, why don't you invite me to your house for a cup of tea?"

Shinjima continued to ask with a smile.

"I always feel that I'm not that close to my senior. The first time I bring a girl home, we should at least be in love with each other."

"Oh, my junior is surprisingly naive."

"What do you mean by surprise? I am a very traditional Chinese."

"However, it is more normal to greet a senior from school when you see him."

"It's a pity that my room, as a stay-at-home guy, is so messy that no one can enter. There are tissues all over the floor, dirty clothes all over the bed, and piles and piles of beautiful women's swimsuit photos."

Jiang Tianwei was talking nonsense. Hearing his vulgar words, Shinjima blushed and bit her lip to pretend to be calm. The more Jiang Tianwei made excuses not to let her go, the more she felt that there was something wrong with this man.

"I have never seen a beautiful girl's swimsuit photo in my life. Let me go..."

"Then why don't you just put on a swimsuit and look in the mirror?"

As Jiang Tianwei spoke, he became a little speechless. Just as Xindao was convinced that there was something wrong in his family, Jiang Tianwei was also convinced that if he let her go to his room, she would definitely find some clues.

(It seems that I have to be a little rough...)

Jiang Tianwei took a step forward, and Shinjima instinctively stepped back. With a bang, she was pushed against the shelf by the wall. Jiang Tianwei took the opportunity to press his arm down to her face.

The two people's faces were very close. Jiang Tianwei pretended to be a scoundrel and said, "President, you are playing with fire. If you really follow me to the room, I don't know what will happen..."

However, Jiang Tianwei had never seen a real scoundrel or a gangster, so the appearance he pretended to be was more like a farce performed by third-rate actors than a bad guy, which was just funny to watch.

Surprisingly, even though the man had pushed her so close to him, there was no sign of panic on Shinjima's face.

"It seems that I have really been underestimated, fellow apprentice."

As Shinjima said this, he reached out with both hands like lightning, grabbed his wrist with his left hand, pressed his tendons with his slender fingers, and held his elbow with his entire right hand. The two major joints were controlled at the same time, and Jiang Tianwei only felt a sharp pain in his wrist at the same time! Then, he felt another foot pushing against his feet, and his body fell over uncontrollably!

Shinjima's joint skills were so skillful that Jiang Tianwei was so shocked that he had no time to react. He instinctively turned his wrist along with Shinjima's wrist power...

Under normal circumstances, when a person is attacked, he will instinctively retreat, but Jiang Tianwei's instinct comes from the demon bullfighter. Facing a ferocious bull, if he panics and obeys his instinct, he will not be able to fight the bull.

Jiang Tianwei was clearly caught by the arm but he was not in a hurry to retreat. His entire upper body was deflected by the force of Shinjima's hand, while his captured right arm suddenly stretched forward! Shinjima couldn't understand his behavior for a moment, and instinctively continued to try to control Jiang Tianwei's arm and force him to fall to the ground...

(Fell!)

Shinjima felt the premonition of "falling", and her heart was much more at ease. However, the next moment, she felt that the world in front of her was spinning... and then there was a force coming from her ankle! It turned out that Jiang Tianwei stretched out his foot to hook her ankle at this critical moment, and then with another hook, Shinjima's foot was hooked off the ground, and naturally the whole person's balance was out of the question!

If someone witnessed the two people's actions at this time, they would be shocked. Jiang Tianwei leaned forward, lowered his head, bent his left leg to support his body, and raised his right leg, which was a bit similar to the standing action of the Russian Cossack dance. As we all know, the core organ for people to stand and maintain balance is the foot.

When being caught in an Aikido move, people will instinctively step on the ground to maintain balance, but Jiang Tianwei did the opposite. He used one foot to maintain balance and the other foot to disrupt the opponent's balance.

Looking at Shinjima next to him, she looked stunned, her right foot raised uncontrollably, her body leaning back, her hands still controlling Jiang Tianwei's arms. Jiang Tianwei took advantage of the situation to hook his hands around her slender waist, and the raised leg fell back to form a standard lunge. At the same time, the free left hand was raised high...

At this moment, the two people looked like dancers who had finished their performance and were about to take their bow. Jiang Tianwei took a bow step, hugged Shinjima's raised body with his right hand, and raised his left hand high, as if to welcome the applause of the curtain call, while Shinjima fell backwards in Jiang Tianwei's arms, at a loss...

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 123 Please Don’t Show Your Affection in the Supermarket

"Two guests."

Just when Jiang Tianwei was thinking about whether his action of hugging Niijima Zhen was a ballet, a musical, or some other dance drama, a strange voice suddenly came from behind him, with a sense of anger.

When I turned around, I saw a shop assistant who pushed up her glasses and said coldly, "Please don't show your affection in public."

"Eh?! I, we are not..."

When Shinichi Niijima heard this word, he knew he was misunderstood. He was about to explain himself when he saw the clerk's glasses reflecting a cold light of annoyance: "Whether it is true or not, please pay attention to your image in public. Really, young people nowadays, please occasionally think about those who can't find a suitable partner!"

I don't know what the shop assistant has been through, but when she was exposed to such displays of affection, she exuded a murderous aura like a bloody demon. It is conceivable that she was forced to get married by her parents when she was young, and she probably went on blind dates many times but couldn't find the right person. She was confused and uneasy about the future, and angry about such displays of affection in public regardless of the circumstances. All these factors combined to create this new era of single Shura.

Many people don’t realize one thing, which is that most of the time there is no need to share your joy with others. It is enough to just enjoy it quietly by yourself.

A typical example is TikTok. You can often see people playing TikTok loudly in buses, parks, and even before work or during lunch breaks. They are afraid that others can't hear them. Once you try to remind them, they will just say to you, "I think this is fun, you should watch it too." They don't care whether others like it or not.

Similar examples are square dancing and showing affection.

Seeing the clerk's expression, Jiang Tianwei quickly apologized: "We know, let's go."

He reached out and grabbed Shinjima's hand, quickly pulling her out of the store...

Niijima was really shocked. This was the first time a man held her hand. She instinctively wanted to shake him off, but when she raised her arm, she found that she couldn't pull her hand out at all?! She immediately realized the difference in strength between the two people...

Jiang Tianwei pulled her and ran out of the store awkwardly. Fang Zexia's ghost pointed him in a direction. Jiang Tianwei didn't have time to think about it, so he ran all the way to the nearby baseball field along the road she pointed.

It was a baseball field built on the roof, surrounded by green wire mesh to form a square space. People could practice swinging the bat through a pitching machine.

It's strange to say, baseball is a very popular sport in Japan, and this kind of baseball practice field shouldn't be particularly deserted, but this place is located in a remote area, and the place to go upstairs is hidden between two buildings. It's very inconspicuous and there is no sign. There is only a not-so-obvious sign that says "Baseball field goes upstairs from here", and as a result, many residents of Shigenjaya don't even know that there is a rooftop baseball field here...

"You know such a place..."

Shinjima raised his head and looked at the sky blocked by the green net.

"Well, this baseball field is quite secretive. We can use it as a temporary place for a conversation. We can even play some baseball at the same time after we finish talking."
