Tuesday. May 17th, 2017.
Minato initially wanted to go have a look at the whole thing with Madarame, but he could only do it when the Phantom Thieves weren't around. Unfortunately, that day wasn't one of them. He was chilling to check the surroundings to make sure no one saw him, including Tony who lived in the area. He also spotted a woman carrying a camera also snooping around near Madarame's house. Just as he was about to do anything, he spotted the frizzy-haired boy and his companions walking up to Madarame's house. With that, he decided to turn around and retreated to the station.
There were two things in Minato's agenda that week. One of them was investigating the Madarame case alone. The other was resuming the Mementos exploration. Since he couldn't do the first one, he decided to do the other.
Before he set off, he checked his equipment. For his close range weapon, he switched from his one-handed sword to a bus stop sign which he found lying around the neighborhood of his apartment. Back when he found it, he asked someone nearby whether he could take it, and he was allowed possession of it. The best thing about it was he didn't have to pay for it. As for his ranged weapon, the bow he first started out with was good enough. As for recovery items, he hadn't been using any since he got them from Theo. But that didn't stop him from carrying them just in case.
All boxes were ticked, but there was another thing he wanted to do before going down and dirty. He took off the school jacket and put on a hooded jacket. He also wore a mask to cover the lower part of his face. The reason for such a meticulous preparation was because he didn't want anyone to identify him. To complete the look, he clipped his bangs up, revealing his right eye.
After a bit of stretching, he opened the app, got down to the tracks, fired up his bike and he was on his way. As he approached the staircase leading down, he recalled about the change Elizabeth mentioned the week before and how similar it was in description compared to the one in Tartarus. He quickly went down to check it, and Elizabeth turned out to be right. The seemingly unmovable barrier was gone, revealing a staircase. When he got off, the head unit in his bike flashed, showing letters; "Aiyatsbus: Area 1" to further indicate the whole area being brand new on top of the layout being randomly generated. The area also looked slightly different, as the surroundings were colored rather differently. But all in all, it's still the same set of platforms and tracks.
Along the way, he picked up some items that might be tradeable. Tin clasps, thick parchments, thin coppers, all the like. The enemies he encountered, however, weren't so much of a challenge. They're the same ones he wiped the floor with back at the then non-existent castle. However, he decided to hold back, to see if he could talk them to cooperate with him.
At one instance, he was battling two Agathions. The first of them immediately succumbed to his arrow. A light tap with the bus stop sign on the second one put it on its ropes, even though he didn't manage to knock it down. What remotely surprised Minato was the Agathion begging for mercy in standing position.
"Wait! Please, lemme go!"
Minato thought of killing it, but he suddenly remembered that he needed to create more Personas. Thus, he decided to take the Agathion as a fusion material. Plus, it's rather cute, according to him. "Give me your strength, please."
The Agathion immediately agreed. "I'm saved...! You're surprisingly nice. Wait, what the- I think I remember something!"
Minato smiled behind his mask.
"You know. I'm not really a Shadow! I came from the humans' sea of souls! My real name's Agathion! You and I are the same, mister!"
The Agathion morphed into a colorless mask like Minato's and merged with it.
"I am thou, thou art I, indeed..." Minato chuckled.
With that, he moved on. He found another set of stairs leading to the area below and took it.
In the new area, he spotted something rather unusual. It looked like a portal. Minato decided to go through it, just to have a look. The portal took him to what looked like a fixed area. He stopped just by the barricade and spotted a figure, more specifically a figure wearing a Shujin uniform, which had a black aura emanating all over him. However, Minato decided to not step over the barrier, but instead leaned against it and examined the object standing in the area past the barricade.
"It's not my fault! It's theirs for standing up for themselves!" The figure spoke.
Upon closer inspection, the person didn't have the telltale signs of an actual human being. Aside from the emanating black aura, its voice was way too distorted and its eyes glowed yellow. What the figure said, however, attracted Minato's interest.
He recalled reading a post about the school bully in the Phantom Aficionado Website, and that the admin of the site had warned the bully, named Daisuke Takanashi, that the Phantom Thieves were coming for him. Minato deduced that the figure standing past the barricade was Daisuke Takanashi, in a way that reminded him of the Mr. Kamoshida he saw at the castle.
Minato decided to leave the figure be, since it didn't try to go past the barricade and attack him. He figured it's better if the actual Phantom Thieves of Hearts did the honors of dealing with it instead. He went through the portal again and was immediately back in the labyrinths.
He was immediately in a tight spot, however. A red-glowing Shadow was in the way of him and the intersection leading to the rest of the area. It didn't seem to be moving out of the way, so Minato had no choice but to fight. He readied his bow and aimed at it, hitting it square.
It turned into five Kodamas, yet another type he had never seen before. However, Minato decided to not waste time and began striking them down one by one with the bus stop sign. A jumping overhead two-handed strike defeated the first one in the middle. A swing to either sides defeated the next two. Before going further, Minato stepped back and toned down his attack, only lightly tapping the fourth one until it became stiff, but not dead, and summoned Orpheus to grill the fifth one into nothingness.
He was left with one Kodama, and he was looking to talk to it.
"W-wait, staahhp! Please, don't hurt me! I'm just a widdle child!"
Minato knew he had to take this one with him. "Please, lend me your strength."
The Kodama seemed to be cooperative. "Hey, let's talk! I gotta find out if you're a weird human or not! Oh, I wanted to ask you something. You ready?"
"Shoot..." Minato got into a relaxed stance.
"When you were little, what did you wanna be when you grow up?"
Minato honestly had never given that a thought, considering his circumstances. He tried to read the mood of the Kodama instead to come up with something. "A musician..."
"Oooh, that's admirable, mister. What kinda music do you listen to?"
"I listen to a variety of stuff..."
The Kodama didn't look too pleased with the answer. "Oh, so you just like listening to whatever it is you have, huh?" It's still open for talks, however. "...Hey, are you allowed to hit other people's kids like this? Maybe kids got spanked a long time ago, but people don't do that anymore, right?"
Minato scratched his chin. "Sorry for hitting you...and um, I honestly didn't know that..."
"Awww man. You're not very smart, are you, mister?" It chuckled. "Whoa, that's the same as me... Wait, I think I remember something!"
Minato knew that prompt. The negotiation had worked.
"You know, I'm not really a Shadow! I came from the humans' sea of souls! My real name's Kodama! You and I are the same, mister!"
Just like with Agathion, Kodama morphed into a mask and merged with Minato's.
Another battle over, another Persona obtained. He was getting the hang of talking to them, even though his skills were still a bit of a hit and miss.
Along the rest of the exploration, he found more tradeable items, and obtained two more Personas, one of which were new; Bicorn and Silky. However, he decided to not go further down than the third floor.
When he got out of Mementos, it's already getting dark out. He was hungry so he decided to grab some dinner downtown before returning home. He arrived at his apartment building quite late after stopping by the supermarket to get some groceries. Just as he was approaching his apartment, he ran into a twin-tailed woman wearing a maid uniform. The appearance of the woman might fool anyone, but the sleepiness written across her face wasn't.
The maid girl shuddered as she recognized the person she just bumped into. "Yuki-kun!?" Then she glanced down to see Minato carrying a bag of groceries. Seeing that they bumped into each other in an apartment building, she only had one guess in mind. "So you live here..."
Meanwhile, Minato looked a bit dumbfounded seeing one of his teachers wearing a maid uniform, who turned out to be Ms. Kawakami. He was about to ask a question but she interjected.
"Don't worry, I don't provide any explicit services, if that's what you're asking." Ms. Kawakami looked up, staring at Minato's eyes. "You better not go around spreading this to anyone at school, okay? Especially to your homeroom teacher!"
"I don't care."
"'I don't care'? Then you don't care if I intentionally fail your Japanese exam-"
Minato cut her off, realizing she might get the wrong idea. "Your job after school is none of my business. I won't say a single word."
"Oh, sorry... That was quite rude but you seem trustworthy..." Ms. Kawakami trailed back. "I can sense that you're a kind person... But you need to dial back at the rudeness." She curled her brows.
Awkward silence filled the apartment corridor as Minato wanted to walk to his room but Ms. Kawakami didn't want to move over. She seemed to be sizing him up. "Hmm... If you want, I, Becky, can offer you some basic cleaning services, meow!" She smirked.
"No need..." Minato sweatdropped at the acting Ms. Kawakami just did.
"Oh well... It won't do you any good if people find out you're using a maid service..." She put a hand on her hip and frowned. However, she had a point. In the meantime, she was done with her service that night and was waiting for her pickup to arrive. While waiting, she decided to have a little chat with Minato. "You're not embarrassed seeing a teacher dressed like this, doing a risque-sounding part-time job at night?"
Minato leaned against the wall. "You're overthinking it..."
"Yeah, I guess so. I'm always aware that I might accidentally bump into an acquaintance, but never thought it'd be into a student..." Ms. Kawakami sighed and gave a little smile.
"In truth, I'm doing this because I need the money..." Ms. Kawakami opened up. She knew she could trust Minato, especially after he said that her maid work was none of his business. "I...wanted to take a job out of town. But I chose this because it's the closest one, I can simply change out right after school..."
Minato noticed the maid looking rather tired. A bit of depression also showed in her face when she told a bit of the story. Even so, he knew it wasn't really his place to pry. He couldn't pass on giving her a little encouragement, though. "You're doing a good job, Ma'am. It must be tough..."
"I know... Thanks..." She sighed, but then smiled. It was nice to hear an encouragement amidst the potential loathing she might receive if she got found out. She decided to switch on her teacher mode and wanted to check on him a little. "How's school since you were discharged from the hospital?"
Minato answered. "It's better than the sickbed..."
"I see... I'm glad you're at least feeling that way..." She was relieved. "By the way, about your exams, don't worry about it. From reading Ms. Chouno's expression, I can at least tell you seem to be doing well..." She followed with a smirk. "The results are going to be posted on Friday, you can check it then."
She pulled out her phone to check an incoming message, then put it back in her pocket. "Alright, my pickup's here. We have a class tomorrow, right? Better get prepared for it... See you at the class, Yuki-kun."
Minato didn't say a word and bowed at Ms. Kawakami as she walked away before he entered his apartment.
Wednesday. May 18th, 2017.
The other day, the Phantom Thieves came back to Madarame's place to see if they could pry some more information out of Yusuke. But since he wouldn't open up just like that, they decided to take advantage of the modeling offer he gave to Ann and inquire some information as they go. They hoped Yusuke would get friendlier by the time he finished so he could cooperate with them.
Unfortunately, that didn't go quite as planned. Yusuke couldn't get anything going during the few hours they had to wait to even be able to talk to him since he was too in-the-zone to interact with anything but the canvas. In the end, they tried to ask him again regarding the rumors surrounding his master, which he vehemently denied like how it was the first time. However, that wasn't the worst part. The worst part was the already aggravated Ryuji spouting all those rumors in Yusuke's face like he was falsely accusing Madarame, which almost caused the two of them to fight. In the end, Yusuke nearly reported the three of them to the police but ultimately decided to let it slide under the condition that Ann would keep modeling for him and that Akira and Ryuji must not accompany her again.
That wasn't all, as the ultimate catch was Ann must pose fully nude in order for it to work, to which Yusuke say that it's the only way for him to be able to put his heart and soul into it. That almost put Ryuji into another fit, but Akira and Ann stopped him. To him, there's no way they could talk their way into someone as thick-headed and as determined anymore. With that, they decided to leave.
That day, the Phantom Thieves investigated the museum again, and had managed to progress a little further past the golden sculpture where they left off. They found a safe room where they could regroup and take breaks, and an area fenced with laser beams. They didn't dare touching the lasers because they looked to be lethal as opposed to the ones they found in the exhibition room which only tripped the security alarms.
Morgana mentioned a door with a hefty lock attached to it when he scouted around Madarame's house the day before and related it to the area full of laser beams they encountered earlier. Ryuji didn't understand the connection, as always, but Morgana was quick to explain. According to him, they're going to have to remove the lasers by opening the locked door in the shack with Madarame watching. Having put it that way, everyone could see that there was a possibility of something hidden that Madarame wanted to keep away from everyone, including Yusuke. Succeeding in opening the door in front of Madarame would mean removing the lasers which barred them from progressing inside the museum. It had to be done that way, to the T.
Morgana volunteered to open the hefty lock, but he needed someone to be the bait. That's when Ryuji had the most devious look in his eyes.
"I guess the only way is...havin' you go nude."
"WHAT!?"
"Fancy you say that, Ryuji. I was just thinking the same thing."
"This isn't funny!"
"We're not sayin' you really should get naked."
"It's simply the best excuse for you to enter Madarame's house without raising suspicions... So we'd like to play the role of decoy, Lady Ann."
"This is way too sudden... I mean, I don't even know where that locked door is."
"Don't worry. I'll accompany you."
"But that's still technically only me... Worst comes to worst, what if I get found out...?"
"We can run into the Palace...or something."
"Is that really gonna work!? I mean you're not giving me much confidence in this plan!" Ann grew more hesitant, and rather aggravated. "Do I have to be the bait...?"
"There's no other way. Good luck, Ann."
"Why can't one of you guys go nude!?"
"That ain't what he wants..."
"Then make it so he does!"
Ann tried her best to talk her way out of it, but it looked like there was no other choice. She really had to get in there and model nude for Yusuke, whether she liked it or not.
"Fine, I'll do it! For justice!"
She gave the guys the hardest look they've ever been given as she said that. She's fully committed to it, and she wanted the guys to do the same. As much as she's aware of the kind of appeal she possessed, she was very adamant about not letting it escalate to her actually posing nude. After all, it's just part of a plan. They agreed to do it the next day.
Thursday. May 19th, 2017.
Minato just exited the school library after he had just finished studying and returned a book he borrowed the other day. Then he stood by a window to have a look at the weather outside. His intention was to go home, but it was raining and he forgot to bring his umbrella. Realizing that running through the rain had some unpleasant implications, he decided to wait for the rain to subside. With that, he decided to walk around the school for a bit. He stopped near an announcement board and just stood there to reminisce about the time when the weather knocked him out cold.
The rain, and his contemplation to try running for the station earlier, reminded him of a time when he decided to run through a typhoon back in Iwatodai. He had forgotten to bring an umbrella that day. He didn't need to quickly rush home, but it didn't look like the weather was letting up any moment soon. He was soon faced with a choice of either staying at the station or risking it since the station wasn't very far from the dorm. In the end, he picked the latter, and ended up drenched as he stepped into the carpets of the dorm lobby. He immediately sneezed, and diseases immediately swarmed him. He was diagnosed with a severe cold, which left him bunked in his bed throughout the course of the typhoon. Fortunately, all activities were called off because of the weather, including, unfortunately, Gekkoukan High's cultural festival. He was lucky to end up not missing school, but he missed just about everything that was going on in the dorm, including seeing the girls get frightened to hell just because of an animal sneaking up in the dorm's attic which turned out to be a squirrel. He did get a large serving of porridge as a "get well soon" gift.
As he was contemplating there, someone bumped into him and almost fell. He looked to his side to see a female student covering her face behind a magazine. The female student in question lowered the magazine to look at who she just bumped into. To Minato's surprise, it was Makoto.
"Oh, it's you, Yuki-kun..." She decided to lower the magazine completely. "I thought you've gone straight home like usual..."
"I didn't bring an umbrella." Minato explained.
"That's too bad..." Makoto caught him glancing at the magazine. "This? I was just reading it as I walked..."
"So you can read upside down?" He noticed she was using it upside down when they bumped.
"Wait, was it!?" Makoto looked embarrassed. She did notice the magazine upside down before Minato pointed it out. She groaned at her own mistake. She decided to come clean. "Fine... I was just hiding my face so I don't get spotted by a certain someone."
"A certain someone?" Minato wondered. Nonetheless, he might have a clue on who it might be.
"Yeah, it's just for a student council affair..." Makoto explained. "But it seems like he's gone home for today... I've been looking for him all day." She sighed.
Minato began putting two and two, and deducted that Makoto was probably going to stalk whoever she was looking for. Furthermore, knowing that she's the student council president would only mean it's important, with the most likely reason being it was related to what happened to Mr. Kamoshida. Having understood all that, Minato thought the only target that made sense was the new wild card or one of his companions. It made him curious about what she would do if in instance she was able to catch them on the act. Minato decided to not ask to avoid raising Makoto's suspicion, despite his curiosity. It seemed Minato was going to have another task at hand.
"Well, I'm about done here. I brought an umbrella with me, so why don't we go to the station together? This rain doesn't seem to be letting up soon..." Makoto offered. "You can get an umbrella once we're at the station..."
Minato couldn't refuse the offer, simply because he might be forced to leave the school building and wait somewhere else for the rain to subside when it's getting dark out. "Sure..."
The laser barrier in the museum had successfully been disabled for good. That meant they could go past it back and forth without worrying about being cut to pieces. It was thanks to an uncanny inter-realm coordination between Ann and Morgana who bought just enough time in the real world to have Madarame witness the locked door getting opened, and Akira and Ryuji who dared going past the security to disable the lasers on their own. Upon unlocking the door, Ann and Yusuke learned that the picture which aspired Yusuke to become an artist, "Sayuri" was not stolen and lost like how it had been told all along. Instead, it had been hidden behind a cover. When Yusuke saw it for the first time, he was adamant that it was indeed the real "Sayuri" among all other replicas found inside the locked room.
Madarame tried to lie his way out of it, but Ann didn't buy it while Yusuke still tried to process what was happening. Seeing the attempt to lie fail, Madarame decided to call the police to have Ann and Yusuke detained. But Ann decided to make a run for it alongside Morgana while Yusuke was forced to give chase in hopes of getting Ann to explain things.
It was then when Yusuke was accidentally pulled into the museum alongside Ann and Morgana. Everything around him was awfully overwhelming to take in. He even thought Ann was not feeling well, when in actuality he was struggling to take it all in inside the realm he just stumbled upon. When they showed him one of the exhibition halls containing a lot of portraits, he couldn't believe his eyes as he saw faces of a lot of people he knew were in them. He confirmed the Phantom Thieves' earlier deduction that the people in those frames were indeed Madarame's past pupils. And yet, he still didn't know why they were depicted as such in his master's heart. Ryuji didn't forget to let Yusuke know that his portrait was also found in there.
"...I'll tell you this alone, Yusuke. If you wish to succeed in this world, I'd advise you don't rise against me."
To top off that predicament, as they were making their escape, they were intercepted by a set of guards by the massive golden sculpture. Then, they're forced to listen to Madarame - more specifically his Shadow - spouting about everything Yusuke had never heard from the real Madarame before. It turned out Madarame had staged the whole situation regarding "Sayuri" for his own profit, saying it's a legitimate business transaction to boot. That broke Yusuke so much, he was left on his knees. On the other hand, the Phantom Thieves were disgusted at that fact.
In the end, Yusuke had enough. All he thought about his master, the one that had sheltered him since he was little, was wrong. The fact that the pupils had been treated like livestock, him included, disgusted him. His aggravation and understanding of his master's true nature had come full circle. He stood up, a new sense of rebellion had been formed inside of him.
"How amusing... It seems the truth is stranger than fiction, hm...? I wanted to believe it wasn't true... I had clouded my vision for so long... My eyes were truly blind...blind, and unable to see the true self behind this horrible man...!"
A voice called to him from the inside.
Have you finally come to your senses?
"Ngh..." Yusuke grabbed his head, he began to spun around, trying to contain the surge of power.
How foolishly you averted your eyes from the truth...! A deplorable imitaton indeed... Best you part from that aspect of yourself!
Yusuke screamed and kneeled, grasping his fingers on the floor until they bleed.
Let us now forge a contract... I am thou, thou art I... The world is filled with both beauty and vice... It's time you teach people which is which...!
A white fox mask formed onto his face as he stood up. "Very well..." He majestically reached for the mask and took it off. "Come, Goemon!"
A figure wearing a flamboyant, yet traditional Japanese outfit carrying a massive pipe with an axeblade attached to the end of it appeared behind him. Meanwhile, Yusuke was adorned with a black high-collared puff-sleeved jumpsuit, white knee-high boots, and blue pair gloves. He was armed with a Japanese sword and an assault rifle.
"Strike, GOEMON! Giant Slice!"
Madarame had sent guards to kill them, and Yusuke was quick to act. He aimed the physical skill and the leader in the middle, which was an Ippon-Datara. He hit him critically square and hard, knocking it down.
"Next, Bufu!"
He decided to switch out his attack, and aimed the Ice spell at one of the Koppa Tengu. It turned out to be its weakness, knocking it down. Yusuke decided to dish out three Bufu in a row and knocked down the rest of the Koppa Tengu.
"Nice, the enemies are down!" Morgana was surprised in how quickly Yusuke adapted.
Soon, they surrounded their enemies and decided to go in for the kill. The five of them jumped in and managed to defeat the four Koppa Tengu, while the Ippon-Datara was still standing.
"Persona! Captain Kidd, Headbutt!"
Ryuji was next, capitalizing on the momentum. That resulted in another critical hit, knocking the Ippon-Datara down again. They decided talking to it was moot, and went in for the kill, finally defeating the Ippon-Datara.
Shadow Madarame was standing before Yusuke again, but he had no energy to give chase to him. He loathed himself for not having the strength to. However, Akira encouraged him. They carried Yusuke into the lobby of the museum where they could take a break.
"I'm no fool... Strange people have been coming by for years, and the plagiarism was an everyday affair. But, who would want to admit that the man they owed their life to was doing such terrible things?"
Yusuke finally admitted it. Awakening his Persona opened the side of him that wanted to be honest about it all. They finally knew what he actually felt, and the truth about Madarame's plagiarism.
"Why didn't you leave, Kitagawa-kun?"
"Well, he is the one who painted the 'Sayuri'. On top of that, I owe him a great debt..."
"You mean 'cause he raised you?"
"I...never knew my father. I was told my mother raised me by herself, but she died in an accident when I was three. That's when Sensei took me in. I heard he helped my mother when she was still alive..."
"Heard?"
"To be honest, I don't remember much about my mother either. I did everything I could for Sensei. I thought of him as a father...but he changed. To think he would treat 'Sayuri', the very foundation of his art, like that..."
They all symphatized with Yusuke. To have someone he looked up to, pulled him out of misery in the beginning, ended up doing the opposite when he grew up. Everyone shared the grief.
"When you mentioned 'plagiarism'...deep down I knew you were right. That's why I so vehemently denied you... I was simply running away from the truth. I'm sorry."
"It's okay. Don't be so hard on yourself... We get it." Akira nodded.
They wanted to talk more, but there were guards sneaking up on them, and they're still in the museum. They had to leave, pronto.
Yusuke had understood a lot of things, including about Akira, Ryuji, Ann, and Morgana, collectively known as the Phantom Thieves of Hearts he had heard in the news and his surroundings. At the moment, he didn't know what to do about Madarame. But whatever it might be, the Phantom Thieves of Hearts were going to be on hand to help, and he couldn't be happier about it.
A/N: Whew, there goes another chapter! This fic is getting more exciting to write, but I'm still juggling between this and college so I apologize if the updates come rather slowly. Sometimes I'm also faced with the writer's block, but all I could do was just write the hell out of it, then edit what I come up with.
Alright, at this point in the game, I'm really feeling bad for Yusuke. Yes, it's not as personal as Kamoshida, but it's just sad to see. He was orphaned when he was three, then Madarame took him in, honed his art skills, only to have him become as expendable as the pupils before him. On the plus side, another party member! He seemed to be pretty good too. With him on board, the four basic elements have been covered.
Shoutout to user CallmeCrazylol for the review again. I guess you're right about the Phantom Thieves' goals and the lack of crew-specific Confidant. Their goals were the same from the get-go, unlike SEES in which each party members had their own ulterior motives at the start and the Investigation Team in which each party members had to overcome their flaws first. Thanks for the outfit ideas for Minato, too! Everyone else can get in on giving ideas for Minato's Phantom Thief outfit.
Also shoutout to user Hoppy854. [SPOILER ALERT] The Judgement Confidant in P5 is represented by the ongoing interrogation on Akira. The game starts in medias res, where he gets arrested and is interrogated by someone afterwards. The Judgement Confidant ranks up as the interrogation goes on throughout the game. The interrogation bit could take out the immersion for some people. But for me, it's fine. It's quite the way to take a break from the hectic life sim and grinding we're doing. That's all I can tell you, for now... ;)
