35 Chapter 34: Don't be naive
*Tadano POV*
I was coming home.
The melodies in my head kept repeating over and over.
The effect of the candy had worn off and as expected the anger returned and completely invaded me as if it were always there.
Luckily I managed to control it enough so that the [Berserker] skill didn't activate, however, I was still very angry and irritable.
I couldn't go home in this state. No matter how much I used my singing ability, the effect on myself was too small to completely calm me down.
It was then that a particular thought flashed through my mind.
"Let me out"
Hey?
"Let me out, I can control our anger better than you…"
You're stupid if you think I'll let you roam around... I still don't completely trust you...
"Stop complaining, I'm not planning on going to our house or to any of the girls anyway."
So what are you planning?
"Singing…isn't that what you've been making me do all this time?"
You know? And if so, why are you so calm about it?
"It seems that Yamai was right and you are just a stupid child… do you think I want our misfortune? I am you too, ignorant child! "Besides, I also like Komi Shouko... except that unlike you... I don't have as many scruples when interacting with others."
What do you mean with that?
"Stupid little boy…listen carefully. In this world nothing is free or completely selfless… you are stupid if you think so… Everyone is looking for something… Money, pleasure or simply personal satisfaction."
…
"Oh? You're not going to refute it... at least you have some conscience... I'm only looking for our greatest benefit... what does it matter to break some hearts in the process? With enough effort they will return to us… don't you understand how powerful the System is?"
Do you know it too? So do you know what she was talking about with Lady Luck?
"*Sigh* poor me having to be a secondary personality of a complete retard… I know everything! Since you merged with this body… until the current moment… everything! Even about your memories of this world... do you know why stick to normality and stay only with one woman? We have an unlimited future and you want to just take a girl to live peacefully in some random place? Where is your ambition? Do you really think things will go so well? What happens if a crazy person like Yamai appears again? Do you think you are capable enough to keep the things you hold dear safe?"
…
"*Sigh* I don't feel like sharing these kinds of philosophical talks with you right now. I don't want us to accidentally kill someone because of my carelessness. Now let me go out and release the stress we carry… these turbulent emotions have to disappear somewhere right?"
… Alright.
My gaze changed and the turbulent emotions around me began to diminish little by little.
With a calm step he directs me towards a nearby bathroom.
I brought out the green wig and a hoodie to alter my appearance a little.
During the week I did my presentations I was able to gain a convenient skill.
The [Genius] skill is as amazing as expected.
[Camouflage - Apprentice]: "You have learned the ancient arts of camouflage, perfect for deception, infiltration and assassination, by disguising yourself you will be able to change your appearance by 25% to that of your preference, you have a 10% chance of being unknown and a 40% chance of be recognized by people close to you. This is one of the skills of the Shinobi path. If you collect 3 you can learn the [Ninja] job.
This skill is so useful to perform my performances and avoid being recognized.
Since increasing my Charm stat has made people start paying more and more attention to me.
When I had finished my change of appearance I left the bathroom and raised my hood.
Walking down the street I managed to find a good place.
As he walked he still hummed.
But instead of doing it for myself. I began to raise the volume of my voice so that the rest could hear it.
My voice conveyed to people the feeling of anxiety and expectation for my next actions.
Everyone looked at me as I walked to the center of the square.
In the middle of my walk I stopped my humming and turned my hand in the air.
My guitar in the Electric Guitar version of him materialized in my hand.
Unperturbed by the surprised reactions of the people in the square, I began to play, while continuing to walk towards the center of the square.
[BGM Monster - SKILLET]
The sound of the guitar filled the place.
Invading the hearts of everyone who heard her and filling them with a feeling of wild and fearless emotion.
With their hearts already on fire, I began my song.
Tadano: "The Secret side of me… I never let you see… I keep it caged, But… I CAN'T CONTROL IT!"
In my singing I transmitted the feelings of my heart.
The rage and anger against that woman...
My frustration at my inability to control myself…
My complex and inflamed emotions permeated my singing and inflamed my audience who chanted the lyrics with me.
At some point both speakers were behind me and filled the hearts of the crowd even more.
The sound of the strings and my voice full of savagery.
There were some young people who even started shaking their heads, most of them moving their hands to the rhythm of the song.
Tadano: "I… I… FEEL LIKE A MONSTER! I… I… FEEL LIKE A MONSTER!"
The people roared the choruses with me.
Savagery present in his eyes.
His breathing was labored and their faces were red with emotion.
Her hands rose to the rhythm of my guitar.
I wasn't much better my hood had fallen off at some point during my presentation.
The fluffy hair of the green wig fluttered.
My eyes, now red from my skill, had a dangerous shine.
My expression was slowly starting to twist into a manic one.
As my singing continued.
This, instead of scaring the crowd, excited them even more.
All under the effect of my ability, all sharing my emotions.
All of them roaring with excitement.
Tadano: "I Must Confess that… I FEEL LIKE A MONSTER!!!"
Sing with a crazed expression and the most guttural voice you can muster.
This provoked shouts of excitement from the crowd.
He was aware that most of them didn't know what he was singing.
Not everyone has a good command of English.
I could only use it partially because of my other life and partially thanks to Canto's ability. That even if he didn't mention it. It allowed me to sing the songs with the appropriate tone and accent for each language.
However, the feeling conveyed by my song was more than enough to move them to this point.
Tadano: "I… I… FEEL LIKE A MONSTER! I… I… FEEL LIKE A MONSTER! I… I… FEEL LIKE A MONSTER! I… I… FEEL LIKE A MONSTER!"
With the last chorus being accompanied by the audience I finished my song.
Breathing heavily like my audience, I placed my guitar on the floor and introduced myself.
Tadano: "Hello everyone… I apologize for the sudden intrusion into your peaceful afternoon… here is your good friend the Wandering Musician… I have come to make you experience the true joy of music… without further ado, who wants another song?" I asked for.
At that moment the crowd began to cheer.
Other! Other! Other!
I smiled at having such an energetic audience.
I also did this when I saw the increasing number of points on my system dashboard.
With a big smile on my face.
I twirled my guitar and said.
Tadano: "So… Let the show begin!!"
