The Trickster's Ninth Episode

Unable to hold back for a moment, he took out his phone and looked at it again.

Well, the navigation app of Impression Space still hasn't appeared.

This is good..... this is good...

Please never show up.

Chapter 13 The Evil God Has Gone

I met Parry by the way during lunch in the cafeteria, but Parry doesn't have a central air conditioner like Jinghua.

In the middle of the conversation, there was chatting with each other. For Amamiya Ren and Parry, who were not familiar with each other, chatting with Jinghua and one side meant that the other side would be quiet. Therefore, Jinghua’s current energy was unprecedentedly full, and finally Amamiya Lian and Parry still found some common language.

It's about painting.

As I said before, Ren Amamiya has learned a lot of skills for all of her future COOPs—that is, in order to build a good relationship with future Phantom Thieves and fellow Phantom Thieves.

Including but not limited to Apricot Takamaki's specialty [Fashion], Ryuji Sakamoto's specialty [Fitness], Makoto Niijima's specialty [Fighting], Sakura Futaba's specialty [Hacking Technology], Sakura Sojiro's specialty [Curry and coffee】.

Oh!Speaking of Sojiro, Ren Amamiya, as a time traveler from China, practiced cooking together in order to satisfy her appetite.The home-cooked dishes I mentioned to Jinghua before are actually mainly Chinese dishes.Later, I went to learn pharmacology for Wu Jianmiao. After all, it is unrealistic to learn medicine by myself.

Of course, self-study of pharmacology is not realistic, so I turned to nutrition later, added some basic pharmacology, and considered nutrition and medicinal properties when cooking.Although it is not considered a medicinal diet, it can be regarded as a nutritional combination for the time being.By the way, there are many Chinese herbal medicines that can be eaten directly as vegetables, such as the mint that Yu Gonglian prefers.

But these dishes are so expensive in Japan!

Not all of these things that Amamiya Ren has practiced have reached the pinnacle, and some of them are just tasted. For example, if you let him use hacking techniques to pk with Futaba, he must be killed unilaterally.But thanks to the terrifying learning ability after crossing, even at the minimum, he can still learn well.

Of course, Kitagawa Yusuke's specialty [painting] is also in Amamiya Ren's training project.When Ren Amamiya was painting and drawing, she came up with the idea of ​​drawing manga as a copywriter, so what she learned changed from oil painting to manga.

In the end, I found that most of the works in this world were the same as before the time travel, only a few parts disappeared.

Now that I think about it carefully, these [very few parts] should all be works in the same world as him.

The ideal of becoming Wenchaogong was stillborn, so he could only continue to work hard to become an entrepreneur or politician.

Because there are too many things to learn, there are many examples of learning and learning like this.

In short, after Yu Gonglian and Parry chatted about painting skills, Jinghua was left out in the cold.After viewing each other's works on their mobile phones, Parry unexpectedly asked Ren Amamiya.

"Do you also like Acg, Amamiya?"

"Sodayo! (That's the answer)" [Translation: Yes! 】

As a result, there are more common languages, and this time Jinghua can finally intervene.

Unfortunately, the atmosphere had just picked up, and the lunch break was almost over.They chatted and ate lunch, and the time passed very quickly.

In the end, Ren Amameiya, Jinghua, and Parry exchanged lines with each other, and then went back to their classrooms.

There was only one class in the afternoon, and it was Kawakami Sadyo's class.

During class, Ren Amamiya took time to glance at Akua Minato. She seemed to have regained her vitality and was dozing off energetically.

This class was very peaceful. Akua-san was obviously sleeping, but Mr. Kawakami ignored her.

So it's school time.

When get out of class was just over, Mr. Sadayo Kawakami came to him specifically to talk about the precautions about [protection observation], reminding him to be careful not to cause trouble.

Yu Gonglian responded politely, then said goodbye to Jinghua, and embarked on the journey home.

He has just arrived, and his life has not been on the right track. After returning home, he still has a few things to do, so he will not stay in school.

For those of you who haven't left the teaching building, right at the entrance where the shoes are changed, Amamiya Ren suddenly saw a familiar figure again.

Pink hair, and a green lollipop on her head...

Coincidentally, he also changed his shoes and raised his head.The eyes of the two met at this moment.

......

......

Saiki Kusuo turned around and fled quickly!

Yu Gonglian was stunned for a second, there was something wrong with this reaction!

Just run after it.

Japan is a country that follows the crowd, and chasing in the street is extremely conspicuous.But the strange thing is that there are not many people on the road after chasing him all the way.

Saiki Kusuo walked ahead quickly, his expression was as usual, but his speed was surprisingly fast.Ren Amamiya thinks her physical fitness is not bad, but she was steadily pulled away during the run.

At another corner, Ren Amamiya followed Saiki Kusuo around the corner, and it suddenly became clear to him that there was a smooth road and a slope by the river, and Saiki Kusuo had disappeared.

Teleport away?

Yu Gonglian stopped running, took a few steps forward, and such a thought flashed in her mind.

Saiki Kusuo has the ability to teleport. The reason why he chased him for so long just now may be to avoid everyone's eyes. It's not impossible to teleport away from him here.

But why did he run away when he saw himself?Could it be that Saiki Kusuo had already used his mind reading technique to read his mind when we met for the first time?

Just as Ren Amamiya sighed and was about to turn around and go home, when she turned around, she saw Kusuo Saiki standing behind him and looking at him.

"So, what do you want from me? Traveler-san." Saiki Kusuo didn't move his mouth, and his voice was transmitted directly to Amamiya Ren's mind through telepathy.This is his usual way of speaking, and no one around him will be surprised.

Saiki Kusuo's attitude is very indifferent. As a superpower himself, there are psychics and fortune-tellers around him, so it is not unacceptable for the existence of time-travelers.

On the contrary, Ren Amamiya felt a little nervous after hearing this sentence. Saiki Kusuo's mind-reading ability is a passive skill beyond his control. Although he was already prepared to be read, his biggest secret was so understated by others It is impossible to say it without any psychological fluctuations.

Ren Amamiya looked at Saiki Kusuo in a daze, and was speechless for a while.He was so determined to come over and hug his thigh, but when things came to an end, he realized that he hadn't prepared any clever and beautiful words.

"..." But there is no chance!

Yu Gonglian made up her mind and said.

"Student Qi Mu, although I can't be very sure now, but in this world, there seems to be a place called [Impression Space] that is made up of people's hearts, and there is an evil god hiding in the [Impression Space] 】The deep..."

"He's gone." Saiki Kusuo didn't finish listening to Amamiya Ren, and interrupted him halfway.

Saiki Kusuo's tone was flat, and there was no wave in the ancient well.However, what was expressed in the words caused Amamiya Ren to lose all language ability in an instant.

Seemingly seeing Ren Amamiya's shock, in order to convince him, Saiki Kusuo repeated it carefully.

"The evil god you were worried about has been wiped out."

Chapter 14 Those 17 Years of Persistence

The evil god has... been wiped out?

Yu Gonglian was stunned, at a loss for a while, she didn't know how to stand, and she didn't know what expression to make.

Saiki Kusuo was about to move away the mountain that had been in his heart for 17 years, but he began to hesitate.

There is no need for Saiki Kusuo to lie to him, it's just that he himself doesn't want to believe it and feels unreal.

The evil god that I had been fearing for 17 years and who had been my imaginary enemy day and night had been wiped out without knowing when!

Why did he fear his fate so much?Fear of that evil god?

The answer is simple, because "Persona 5" is a bad story!

In that story, the protagonist strengthened the personality mask to the extreme, overcame all the difficulties, saved all the partners, and after doing everything to the extreme, the protagonist and the partners stood together, but still couldn’t defeat the evil god!

In the game, the plot kill that is just to increase the ups and downs of the plot - the plot kill that everyone knows is just a temporary desire to rise and suppress, and will definitely be reversed in the end, and the protagonist group will definitely win, became Ren Amamiya. nightmare.

In the end, the evil god was defeated by a miracle.

That is not an enemy that can be defeated by following the plot step by step, it is an enemy that is finally defeated by relying on the protagonist's superb [uninhibited] talent, plus the entire Japanese people's willingness to believe in the ideal power of the Kaitou!

It's not something that can be done with hard work, but something that can only be achieved by satisfying the two conditions of [Protagonist] + [Miracle] at the same time, an almost impossible feat.

But he who crossed over is no longer the original [Protagonist]!

Umiya Ren doesn't believe in herself, nor does she believe in miracles.

Since then, Amamiya Ren can only get a sense of relief from one thing-becoming better than the original protagonist.

But how good is the protagonist of the game?

There is no answer to this question.

So while he was escaping, he also began to make himself better in an almost pathological way.He began to be extremely strict with himself, which is why Umiya Ren will always only have negative evaluations of herself.

He is forever obsessed with being better and never satisfied.

What the protagonist has done, he must do!

What the protagonist has never done, he will do!

Ren Amamiya doesn't believe in miracles, her companions, or herself.But at least, the excellent self will be more trustworthy than the waste self, and tomorrow's self will be more trustworthy than today's self.

This is how he spent these 17 years.

But at this moment, someone suddenly told him that this kind of life could end.

He doesn't need to do anything to be free.

Ren Amamiya is not the kind of idea that he must kill the evil god himself, otherwise he would not have the idea of ​​seeking help from Saiki Kusuo.But when things came to an end, he wanted to cry a little bit, but also a little scared.

When I didn't know it at all, and I didn't realize it at all, the evil god had been eliminated, which was too unreal.People can't help but be afraid that it's just a fantasy.

Saiki Kusuo gave Ren Amamiya a period of time to react, and continued to speak when he had recovered his thinking ability but had not yet recovered his language ability.

"The Evil God has indeed been eliminated. As for the impression space you mentioned, I have been there before, and I can confirm that the so-called Evil God will not appear again. I have never seen the Hall of Soul read from your heart. .”

These words were like a bucket of cold water forcing Ren Yugong to wake up.

"Have you gone to the impression space to confirm that the evil god has been eliminated?" Ren Amamiya sensed something wrong in Saiki Kusuo's words for a moment. "But...the so-called impression space is actually the spiritual hall of everyone, that is, the spiritual hall of the evil god. If the evil god has disappeared, then the impression space should not exist either!"

"I don't know about this. The only thing I can be sure of is that the evil god has been eliminated, and there are indeed these two points in the impression space." Qi Mu said indifferently in the face of Yu Gonglian's question.

"You don't know? Didn't the evil god be eliminated by you?" Yu Gonglian asked anxiously.

It was hard for him to accept the fact that the evil god had disappeared, so don't make any mistakes.

"No." Saiki Kusuo confirmed Amamiya Ren's thoughts without any fluctuations.

"This..." Yu Gonglian was at a loss for words for a moment, and doubts filled her heart. "Who is that?!"

"Because of that person's own wishes, I can't tell you." Saiki Kusuo refused.

"In other words, do you know the person who destroyed the evil god?"
