Playing Secrets in Persona

“Mr. Kawakami, ah, I’m Ren Amamiya who just transferred here.”

“Actually, something happened to me, so I need to take a day off today.”

“Well, it’s a physical problem. I just moved here yesterday, and there are still a lot of things to sort out at home. I wanted to tidy up the room as soon as possible, but I was late. As a result, I woke up with a fever this morning.”

“It’s nothing serious, just body aches. Probably because I had too much stuff to sort out, plus I caught a cold, which made my body even more achy.”

“Well, it won’t take a few days. I’ve taken the medicine. Let’s see if the fever goes down in the evening. I’ll contact you after the afternoon when the fever goes down.”

“”Okay, bye.”

After hanging up the phone, Amamiya Ren collapsed on the table.

After resting for a while, he still reluctantly opened his eyes.

“On the first day, such an exciting thing happened.”

On the first day of transferring to another school, I was brought into a strange world, and even worse, I almost never came back.

But what I got was another card.

「So, what are the uses of these two cards?”

He looked at the two cards with his chin propped up.

As if getting a response, the two cards suddenly emitted some faint light.

【Four words appeared on the card of the Fool: Awakening, Travel

【Magician] Two words appeared on the card: Creation.

Amamiya Ren fell into thought.

「Creation should be about turning cards into keys. In a world where mobile phones cannot be used to record things, everything may have to return to ancient times, and the ability to turn into keys may be very useful.」

「However, if it is only useful in that world, then its effect will be too limited.”

Just as I was thinking this, the Magician’s card suddenly turned into a key.

“！？”

「Can I use this ability in the normal world?”

If I can use this ability in the real world, then the meaning is completely different.

「So where is this key from?”

Looking at the key carefully, Amamiya Ren suddenly woke up and immediately took out the keychain from her schoolbag and quickly found a key that matched the key.

「Here is the key to the apartment!」

「This is also possible?”

He suppressed his shock. This function is really huge. It is simply a master key.

As long as the creative direction of the [Magician] can be controlled, then as long as this card is obtained, you can really go anywhere.

Of course, that is based on the absence of surveillance.

It is too easy to be exposed in places with surveillance.

Just as Amamiya Ren was thinking this, the key in his hand began to change again. Almost as soon as he thought about it, it turned into another key in the keychain.

「This is really… If a thief had such a card, he would be crazy happy.」

「Oh, that’s not right. It seems that thieves all have their own dignity. Giving them keys to open the door and steal things may make them feel that it is an insult to their craft.”

The corners of Amamiya Ren’s mouth twitched for a while.

It is quite useful in reality, but its greatest role is still in that other world.

Now Amamiya Ren still has to focus most of his attention on that other world. After all, there is a knife hanging over his head, and he can’t ignore it.

There are probably many places in the castle that need to be unlocked. If the [Magician] can change the keys to unlock, then he can save a lot of trouble.

The key turned back into a card.

Now that the role of the [Magician] is known, what about the role of the [Fool]?

「Traveling… should it refer to the ability to enter and exit the other world?”

He remembered that he was brought into the other world by this card. If”traveling” is regarded as the shuttle between the normal world and the other world, it makes sense.

「But what is this awakening?”

Amamiya Ren didn’t remember having awakened before. Moreover, awakening is at the beginning of the journey, which should be very important, right?

The subtitles on the card suddenly changed.

【Once you have confirmed the crisis in the world, are you still ready to resist?】

“Resist?”

Yu Gong Lian couldn’t help but sneer.

“To seek a ray of hope is resistance? I was just trying to survive!”

“I have no interest in what caused the world crisis. I just don’t want my life, which I have finally started over, to be ruined.

The light of the card paused, and then the whole world became a colorful black and red theme.

“！？”

“This is……”

Yu Gong Lian immediately came to the window, and the blood-red sky came into view.

“”Another world!”

The scenery outside did not change at all, except that the sky turned blood red and there was no one on the street.

It was as if he was the only one in the world.

「So, awakening has to take place in this world?”

Hmm?

Suddenly he felt that the edge of his vision was blocked by a layer of white stuff.

What is that?

Amamiya Ren almost subconsciously touched it with his hand.

It was a hard shell material.

After touching it carefully, it seemed to cover around his eyes.

From the shape, it should be a kind of mask.

He tried to take the mask off his face with a little force.

But with just a little force, a pain from nowhere swept through his body.

A strong sense of resistance almost made him want to let go immediately.

But at this moment he suddenly stopped.

「Is this awakening?”

With the desire to survive, he would never refuse awakening.

And those who don’t want him to awaken naturally have a strong sense of resistance.

Under the mask, Amamiya Ren’s eyes became extremely clear.

Someone once said that what the enemy doesn’t want us to do is what we should do most.

The idea of our ancestors still makes sense.

Amamiya Ren grinned slightly.

Recalling the pain just now, he took a deep breath, put both hands on the mask, and used all his strength at the same time

“Ahh…

……

“”Zizizi!”

The edge of the mask could be heard tearing.

However, the pain had already filled Amamiya Ren’s mind. Now he only knew to use both hands to tear off the damn mask.

“Ahh…

“”Zizi… Zizizi!”

The mask seemed to be pulled down along with the skin on the face.

Boom!!!

At the moment the mask was torn off, a blue-white flame suddenly rose from the ground.

The rising flame instantly submerged Amamiya Lian.

But the flame did not bring him any burning pain, but instead brought him a refreshing coolness. The wound on his face left by tearing off the mask healed little by little in the flame, and the flowing blood was strangely absorbed by his eyes.

After absorbing the blood, the pupils that turned golden because of the appearance of the mask returned to black again.

A phantom appeared behind Amamiya Lian.
