"Is this briefly controlling others' actions?"
Seeing those passersby around them sitting on the chairs of the open-air cafe with somewhat stiff expressions and ordering, let alone Miyauchi Hikage, even Miyauchi Hikari could notice the problem.
"It's still unclear exactly what kind of ability she has, but she should have indeed used her ability on these passersby just now to make these people sit down." Miyauchi Hikage looked at the shadow Gotoh Hitori who was still playing selflessly there, but was unclear exactly how she achieved this.
It could be seen that those clerks were obviously also somewhat confused by this sudden wave of customers. Just now there were only two or three tables of customers in the entire cafe, and a few of them even sped up their meals to leave quickly because of Gotoh Hitori's death rock.
As a result, just two or three minutes after the other party said she wanted to help pull customers, more than ten ordering customers suddenly appeared in the cafe, making these clerks somewhat unable to keep up with the orders.
"But we, the other previous customers, and those clerks seem not to be affected much," Eriri looked around and then said this.
"In other words, the other party's ability is not simply an AOE (Area of Effect) activation, but screens the people within the range?"
"And not everyone passing by here will be attracted either. There are still a few empty seats here, but a few people passed by just now and completely had no intention of staying."
Miyauchi Hikari muttered on the side, seemingly wanting to analyze exactly what kind of ability the other party had.
"Let's keep watching. If it's an ability similar to mind control, there will definitely be a reaction after her ability contact," Miyauchi Hikage just briefly confirmed that there were no problems with the physical conditions of these people, and didn't care about this anymore.
A few more minutes passed, and shadow Gotoh Hitori finished another song and stopped to rest for a while.
Accompanied by sparse applause from the few customers of the open-air cafe, more people had a trace of slight confusion on their faces, as if they just realized why they were sitting here.
"It doesn't seem like simple mind control. Judging from the expressions on the faces of those customers pulled over by Gotoh Hitori, they actually know what they did, but after the music stopped, they felt confused about their previous actions."
Kato Megumi also took out her phone. After the analysis of Black Hermit, she finally gave two more likely results.
Shadow Gotoh Hitori's ability, purely judging from the behavior of these customers, might be to apply a certain psychological suggestion to the surrounding people through music, making them act according to Gotoh Hitori's thoughts as much as possible.
And the other one, based on the fact that shadow Gotoh Hitori is an entity born from Gotoh Hitori's shadow, analyzed that shadow Gotoh Hitori might have the ability to reversely affect the main body through the shadow.
The former has a 30% probability, the latter a 40% probability, and the remaining 40% is temporarily unable to be further analyzed due to insufficient information.
Seeing that 30% + 40% + 40% had exceeded 100% probability, but among them, there was also a relatively low possibility that shadow Gotoh Hitori's Stand had both abilities simultaneously.
"Hikage-kun, which possibility do you think it is?" Kato Megumi asked Miyauchi Hikage in a low voice.
"It's still the shadow," Miyauchi Hikage pointed to his eyes. "Perhaps you guys couldn't notice, but my eyes can see clearly. When they entered within a hundred meters nearby, their shadows all had an instant of desynchronization with them for a fraction of a second. And when her music stopped, a similar symptom appeared again, just faster."
Even for Kato Megumi, her Stand probably only noticed a slight problem, but it couldn't be completely certain about the desynchronization over a distance of a hundred meters and a fraction or even a hundredth of a second, so it only gave a 40% possibility.
"But rather than saying it's manipulating shadows, a shadow inherently can be considered another side of a person that isn't easily noticed by others."
A shadow exists depending on the main body. Unless someone can always live in an absolutely dark environment, as long as there is a trace of light, no one can get rid of their own shadow.
Shadow Gotoh Hitori herself, as Gotoh Hitori's shadow, knew everything about her and also understood the complete desires in "her own" heart, which was why she showed such a special posture after gaining freedom.
If the shadow is connected with "the self hidden inside," then Gotoh Hitori's Stand ability isn't too hard to guess.
"But if it really is controlling shadows, actually there's another person in Jujutsu High who can control shadows. It's just that his shadow technique is probably really not as strong as Gotoh Hitori's."
Fushiguro Megumi's Ten Shadows Technique could indeed control shadows and summon shadow shikigami from shadows.
But ninety percent of the strength of the Ten Shadows Technique actually lay in that final Mahoraga, which was almost impossible to control and tame through conventional means.
Such a shadow shikigami that completely disobeys orders after being summoned, and will kill everyone it can see before dissipating, its expressiveness and control over shadows might really not be as good as the degree shown by shadow Gotoh Hitori at this time.
Regarding the ability Gotoh Hitori showed now, Miyauchi Hikage was somewhat curious if he threw that Shadow Yuko, who was currently staying in his basement doing hard labor for him, in front of Gotoh Hitori, whether Gotoh Hitori could control her.
After all, Shadow Yuko could also be considered the aggregation of negative emotions that Kanoe Yuko's main body was most unwilling to face inwardly.
"Hmm... calculating it, has she probably controlled over thirty people up to now? These people came to this cafe under her control to consume and listen to her play. Even though she has deactivated the ability, these people also stayed. Besides the six people applauding, there are also two who took out money to tip. These should all be actions out of their own thoughts."
Listening to Miyauchi Hikage's analysis, Miyauchi Hikari couldn't help but mutter a few sentences: "So what's so good about this messy music? What kind of psychology did those people have to tip money?"
It was Eriri on the side who gave the answer: "Even among rock music, death metal rock belongs to a category with a relatively small audience. Normally, it indeed requires a certain cognition of music and rock music to fully feel the characteristics and charm of this music. But everyone's aesthetics are different, and there are indeed people who are inherently interested in such music, it's just that they might have never fully come into contact with this kind of music before, so they themselves are not clear about their preferences."
Just like her, when she first learned painting, looking at those abstract style modern paintings, she indeed didn't understand what was so good about those paintings.
But as she invested more energy and time into painting, she gradually realized one thing: painting is never about the closer to reality, the better.
Even in the Middle Ages, many world-famous paintings, in order to highlight the focus of the painting, would abandon realism in some places and choose to display them in a more aesthetically pleasing way.
Although she herself hadn't reached that master level, if you let her appreciate the works of those abstract style masters now, even if she still couldn't fully comprehend the things contained in these works, she indeed wouldn't feel she couldn't understand these paintings like she did when she was a child.
Similarly, she had also seen people who could feel the charm of these paintings the first time they saw these abstract style works, it was just that the number of these people was indeed not large.
Kato Megumi also opportunely handed her phone to Miyauchi Hikari. It was written on it that these audiences indeed became interested in Gotoh Hitori's music style after patiently listening for a few minutes.
"Alright, although I myself still don't really like this style," Miyauchi Hikari said weakly.
To this, Miyauchi Hikage took out his wallet, pulled out a few ten-thousand yen bills from inside, and handed them to his sister.
"What do you mean by this? Are you comforting me?"
Miyauchi Hikari rolled her eyes at her brother.
Miyauchi Hikage shook his head: "I mean, if you don't like the pieces she plays, then use the money to make her change to a music genre you like listening to."
Miyauchi Hikari glanced doubtfully at the shadow Gotoh Hitori playing selflessly there: "She's a rock musician, are you sure this isn't insulting her?"
"She's just using this method to vent out the things she hasn't experienced before to satisfy her cravings," Miyauchi Hikage pointed at Gotoh Hitori in that "eccentric outfit".
"She might really like this music, but if you've read her blog, you should know the music genres she likes are not just metal rock. She masters a lot of things."
Someone who had held back for several years, not daring to announce her preferences to the outside world, and didn't even have a few friends, now that she completely opened up her heart, naturally she would use those more special methods to announce her maverick nature to the outside world.
Miyauchi Hikage had watched this guy split off from Gotoh Hitori, and also clearly saw that over these two days, she first spent a whole day going to some bars and dance halls she didn't dare to go to before, strolled around there, found it boring, and then spent another whole day getting herself this outfit.
After she had her fun with this wave, actually she wouldn't have any regrets left.
At that time, even if Gotoh Hitori hadn't discovered her existence, after the Stand rampage period ended, she would probably take the initiative to appear in front of Gotoh Hitori to declare her existence.
Miyauchi Hikage coughed lightly, and then took out a few more bills from his wallet: "Now, you can go over and ask if she's Guitarhero, then use an admiring gaze to ask for her autograph, and then ask her to play the pieces she covered over the past two years. I bet she will definitely satisfy the request of this 'fan' of yours."
With Gotoh Hitori's personality, she definitely had thought about this scenario of being recognized in her heart, it's just that as a socially anxious person, she would have a cardiac arrest just thinking about it.
But to say she had never expected this kind of thing?
How could she not have expected it.
Obviously, this shadow Gotoh Hitori was probably itching to run into a fan who recognized her.
"Can you do this? But I haven't watched her videos either. How would I know what pieces she covered? And if you want to hear it, why don't you go yourself, Hikage?"
"Because if a female fan goes over, it's easier for her to let her guard down," Miyauchi Hikage said casually, and then stroked his chin. "How about this, I remember she covered a song called 'Karakara' (Empty Box) at the end of last year. Just say you really like this song. If you can get her to play it, how about your pocket money for this month doubles?"
Doubling her pocket money was very tempting for a spendthrift like Miyauchi Hikari. Miyauchi Hikari gritted her teeth, and then added another sentence: "Also, after you awaken a Stand, you must also figure out a way to help me awaken a Stand."
"Okay, okay, okay, I definitely won't forget you then. As long as I awaken a Stand, the next one I'll help awaken is you, alright?"
Miyauchi Hikage waved his hand, indicating it was settled like this.
He had originally planned to sequentially awaken Stands for the people around him after researching a painless Stand awakening process.
Miyauchi Hikari, this guy who liked to toss about everywhere, even if Miyauchi Hikage asked Wonder of U to help keep an eye on her safety, her safety would be more guaranteed if she had a Stand herself.
Having received her brother's guarantee, a brilliant smile instantly appeared on Miyauchi Hikari's face.
Immediately, she used her phone to find Guitarhero's video account, gave it a follow, asked Kato Megumi to cover for her, and then took the funds Miyauchi Hikage gave her to go cozy up to shadow Gotoh Hitori.
It had to be said, among the four of them, Miyauchi Hikari was indeed the one to do this with the least sense of incongruity.
In almost just two or three sentences, Miyauchi Hikage saw an unconcealable but trying-to-stay-calm joy appear in Gotoh Hitori's eyes over there.
She even directly took out a marker pen obviously prepared in advance from her pocket and wrote the large words "Guitarhero" on Miyauchi Hikari's inner shirt.
And a minute or two later, as Miyauchi Hikari returned with a smug expression, not long after, Gotoh Hitori on the planter really changed her style and started playing that song "Karakara".
"It feels like Hikage-kun seems very happy," Kato Megumi on the side looked at Miyauchi Hikage, who was holding up his phone and starting to film, and let out such a sigh.
Miyauchi Hikage smiled and nodded: "Because it's really interesting. I'm really looking forward to what kind of reactions the main persons on both sides will have when they see this video."
