The Trickster's Ninth Episode

Compared with Ryuji Sakamoto's angry speech, Morgana's narration is much more detailed.

"Because the inner world at that time was not as safe as it is now, so the V family was in a relatively dangerous situation for a period of time. While solving the palace, they had to protect their safety. It was really tiring to recall."

"In the beginning, they were allowed to live in the safe house of the palace, and then our phantom thieves took turns to send people to look after them. And the palace will be broken after all, so in a sense they have been moving."

"In the end, you figured out a way to make them have fighting power..."

"So I went to join the entertainment circle, right?" Yu Gonglian took over the conversation.

Now it became clear that time was indeed short, and the V family had to gain popularity as quickly as possible.

"That's probably when they started to like you," Morgana added.

"Cough, cough..." Ugonglian was forced to break away from her contemplation, and coughed a few times in embarrassment. "I should have stated that those songs were all plagiarized?"

"Well, I've explained it many times, and it's quite long-winded. But your explanation doesn't seem to be useful." Morgana made up the knife.

"Stop, stop, let's put aside the issues here."

Back to serious issues, Ren Amamiya can figure out many things, but there are still some things that she can't figure out.

Yes, the V family is very special, what kind of special method, Umiya Ren already knows, but what is Umiya Ren trying to do by pulling them in?

【What the V family can do】 Ren Amamiya knows, but 【What exactly did the V family do】.

A bunch of [artificial gods] were found, could it be that they were simply found to increase their combat power and let them fight with the gods?

I don't think it's necessary. In the past, Ren Amamiya should have no troubles in terms of combat effectiveness. According to Tatsuya Amano, he wiped out all the gods of the strange news in the second week.

So looking for V's house should be for some functional purpose.

...empathy?

Ren Amamiya recalled that VOCALOID and Vtuber have a certain similarity, and the superficial expression is that kind of abnormal empathy ability.

In other words, the functional positioning of Vtubers is also similar to that of VOCALOID?

interesting.

Umiya Ren thought about it, looked up at Ryuji and Yusuke again, and asked, "By the way, do you know why I do these things?"

"..." Ryuji Sakamoto and Yusuke Kitagawa looked at each other.

"Why?" Sakamoto Ryuji asked.

"No... I'm not talking about a question sentence, the above sentence is not followed by an answer. I'm really asking you." The awkward words made Yu Gonglian laugh.

"What are you referring to?" Sakamoto Ryuji asked again.

"It's things like resetting, pulling people, and having to get rid of those gods. Don't you think I was paranoid and twisted when I did these things before? I can't figure out what drives me to do this. " Yu Gonglian's tone seemed to have nothing to do with her, commenting on herself before amnesia.

"Ah? You ask me this... I don't know very well, but if I say it, I have already reached this point. Wouldn't it be very spineless if I don't go to the end? And I must not be reconciled " Ryuji Sakamoto scratched his head and said.

Well, very his style of answer.

"Didn't I talk to you about this before?" Yu Gonglian asked again.

No one else will mention it. The Phantom Thieves have been together for so long, and every time they take action, they will hold an action meeting. The things Ren Amamiya and the Phantom Thieves do are considered big actions. They should have said a lot of things in the meeting. .

Because the rules of the Phantom Thieves are—any group action must be unanimously approved by all members.So if Yu Gonglian wanted to do something, she had to find a way to persuade them.

Of course, there are no restrictions on acting alone. For example, Ren Amamiya will sometimes accompany Yusuke Kitagawa to the Impression Space to find inspiration. This kind of action does not need to notify other Phantom Thieves members.

Having said that, Amamiya Ren didn't have much hope for the question he asked, after all, he knew that he was very good at deceiving people.

If it's just a lie, he should be able to distinguish it himself, but there are more than such methods of deceiving people - avoiding the most serious, generalizing, concealing the key, there are ten truths but only seven, not even a single lie , can constitute a huge scam.

Man is a very complicated animal. The motivation to drive a person to do something is usually piled up by countless small reasons. I don't understand it deeply enough, or my language skills are weak, so I can't explain why.Cause and effect must exist.

So Ren Amamiya didn't necessarily tell his companions everything, maybe only a part of it—for example, he carried Takuto Maruki's wish, he dragged many worlds into the water, and he couldn't turn back. Every few years, a so-called life that tests human beings will appear, and he is bored, and his personality has been developed by extreme insecurity since he was a child, and so on.

These are all real reasons, which can provide Amemiya Ren with the motivation to do something, but he feels that it is not enough.

Because so far, the reasons that Amamiya Ren can think of can find other solutions.

In other words, he doesn't have to come up with the kind of moth that suddenly betrays his partner like in the eighth week.If you only have the above goals, there are many other ways to go.

There must be some reason that he doesn't know yet, which led to the current status quo and became the only solution for Amamiya Ren to achieve her goal in the past.

"...In my impression, this topic has actually been discussed many times." Kitagawa Yusuke thought for a while before speaking.

"When you say that, I also have the impression that I said it many times during the meeting." Morgana also answered. "At the beginning, it should have been a feeling of impulsiveness. At that time, we knew that there were many gods standing opposite the velvet room in this world, and they would come out every once in a while to test [human existence]. I happened to go through the palace of Maruki Takuto, so I agreed to resist it." (Note ①)

"Afterwards, a lot of things happened. Including the second forced reset, the fourth time taking over the responsibility from the fantasy world, and the sixth time for the V family to have the entity. As Ryuji said, Rather than looking for a reason to move forward, it’s better to say that I can’t find a reason to stop!” Morgana said.

not enough.

Yu Gonglian said in her heart.Morgana's answer did little to help the skepticism above him.

So Yu Gonglian changed the way of asking again and said: "Leaving aside these axioms and justice, did the previous me mention such things as selfishness?"

"Selfishness...?" Morgana and Sakamoto Ryuji were stopped at this moment, you, Baga, who doesn't listen to advice, actually has such a thing as selfishness?

What selfishness?With the excuse of losing control, is it logical to find more girlfriends?

"About this, I do have a relevant impression." Kitagawa Yusuke said with some uncertainty. "It's quite early. Once when I went to the Impression Space to collect materials with you, we talked about the shadows in the Impression Space and topics related to human desires."

"At that time you told me that you hated this world very much."

"..." Ren Amamiya was stunned, staring blankly at Kitagawa Yusuke and blinking. "Huh? Have I ever said such a world-weary thing?"

Ren Amamiya really wanted to say no, even if he hadn't recovered his memory, when he was living in the shadow of Yaldabet, he still felt that there was a wrong and a debt, mainly those stupid gods who lacked a shaft in their brains If you do things, you won't blame the whole world.

Although he wanted to make an excuse like this, but when the words came to his lips, some things naturally came to Yu Gonglian's mind.

The atmosphere in this world is very different from the world he was in before crossing.

Should it be said that there is a problem with the world itself, or is it simply that the Japanese society itself is very distorted?

In any case, there are gods in this world, and there are certain supreme rules and principles in this world, and under the operation of this principle, it makes this world appear gloomy and depressing.

Regardless of whether there are problems in this society, the negative impact that human desires can have on this world is too outrageous.

Although he has lost his memory now, Ren Amamiya feels inexplicably that he seems to agree with this statement - he may really hate this world, at least, he hates the world before the eighth week.

As for now... well, no comment for now, let's wait and see.

Umiya Ren could vaguely guess her purpose in the past, probably wanting to change the world, not simply expel the gods, but a more thorough and fundamental change.

That is to say, Ren Amameiya's original idea was correct. The world of the eighth week is not the end, but only halfway, so there is the ninth week.

This guess is still very vague at present, there is only one general direction, and it is impossible to make it concrete-Ren Amamiya does not know what the past self wants to make the world into.

Because the purpose is vague, it is impossible to reverse the process with this information.

But Yu Gonglian is not discouraged, today's harvest is enough, at least, finally ruled out other confusing branch roads, and positioned the main road.

"By the way, I don't know what to do after recovering my memory! Do you have any plans for the future?" Ryuji Sakamoto scratched his head and asked.

In the past one to eight weeks, each reincarnation has a very clear goal, although sometimes Amamiya Ren will act alone without the Phantom Thieves, but at least there is still a temple at that time!The Phantom Thieves have things to do.

Even if it was the eighth week, it was because Amamiya Ren made a moth by himself, and gave the Phantom Thieves a boss and a hall to fight.

But in the ninth week, Ryuji Sakamoto suddenly found out... how idle!This is a vacation?

"Arrangement... Actually, there is also. You already know that I am currently working as a Vtuber, right?" Ren Amamiya laughed slyly when she heard Ryuji Sakamoto's words.

"Huh? Ah! Speaking of this, I was really shocked. Why did you go to the live broadcast business again?" Sakamoto Ryuji didn't notice the change in Amamiya Ren's state, and replied so honestly.

"Because I temporarily lost my memory, but my intuition tells me that Vtuber should be the main purpose of this ninth time." Amamiya Ren explained positively, and then changed the topic.

"Speaking of which, I have tried to get Yusuke to agree to debut before, and Mona will also debut in the near future. You know that I talked to her about it when I went to the TV tower last time, and she agreed. Others don't think about it if they don't recover their memories for the time being... So Ryuji, it seems that you are the only one missing!"

"Huh?!" Ryuji Sakamoto's expression became terrified.

"Ryuji, do you want to debut as a Vtuber as well?" The smile on Amamiya Ren's face was like a spring breeze turning into rain.

"Eh?"

"Eh!"

"Nani!!!"

Note ①——[Whether human beings are qualified to survive], a test every once in a while is the keynote and background of the entire Odd Record world.The rules established by the [Magnificent Principle] are the so-called [World Settings] (or the author's settings).

At the beginning, the ones who implemented this setting were Feremon, who represented existence, and Nyarlathotep, who represented destruction.And after Naia was defeated by Zhou Fang Tatsuya, he disappeared. Ferremon handed over his authority to Velvet, and the one who replaced Naia became other messy gods.By the way, Naia was just defeated, not dead, maybe in a sequel in the future, it will be pulled out as a sentiment to make a wave of things.

Chapter 120 Six Traditional Performing Arts of the P Series Protagonist Group

June 6th → June 16th / Golden Day

"Good morning boss."

Ren Amamiya came down from the second floor, and Morgana stepped on his shoulder.

"Good morning." Sojiro greeted casually. "You seemed to have a study session with your classmates until late yesterday?"

"Ah? Ah yes, those two guys didn't have very good grades." Yu Gonglian responded for a moment, and then immediately continued.

Although it's a lie, it's true. One is sports and the other is art. The results of Ryuji Sakamoto and Yusuke Kitagawa are indeed not very good.

But the truth is, yesterday the three of them had a very late chat on the topic of [What does being a Vtuber mean?].

As for the proposal to make Ryuji Sakamoto a Vtuber?Of course it passed without any hindrance.

Ryuji Sakamoto belongs to the kind of temperamental person who has a high degree of acceptance of new things, and rarely worries about whether he can do well in advance. In his opinion, he should work hard first, and then rely on his backbone to make up for the rest. .

And now he is not the kind of character that doesn't read the air in the past. According to what I heard before, Ren, Xing, and Yusuke are all going to play something called Vtuber. If he doesn't join, it means he is alone. Left behind?

Since you don't reject it and don't want to be left behind, then agree.

However, the two of them, like Ren Amamiya back then, were completely confused about this industry, mainly because they did not have the professional skills in this area, so they didn't know what to do at all.

In the final analysis, Vtuber is still a business that is either an anchor or a variety show. Regardless of planning and operation, it needs professional skills in the direction of entertainment.

Even if what Ren Amamiya told them is just for fun as a hobby, and they don’t need to be compared to professionals, but before they can’t see the energy consumption and life pressure brought by this industry, they still want to do this thing as well as possible .

After all, human beings have an instinctive pursuit of "excellence". As for "giving up" and "laziness", they are thoughts that arise after experiencing difficulties firsthand.

So Umiya Lian gave them advice on what content is suitable for them to do after their debut.

To be honest, this is quite new, because Ren Amamiya has only made her debut for less than three months, and now she is here to make career plans for others, that is, Ryuji and Yusuke believe him, and other people probably wouldn't listen to him of.

In Amamiya Ren's view, in fact, Sakamoto Ryuji and Kitagawa Yusuke belong to the kind of people who are more suitable for the video trend.

However, unlike the traditional Vtubers such as Kizuna Ai and Oda Nobuhime, this type of video is actually a funny comedian variety show route. Sakamoto Ryuji and Kitagawa Yusuke are more suitable for non-Vtubers, and do it normally. Broadcaster of video content.
