Persona 5: tmdrago version 2.0
By Tayla Drago
Episode # 52 - Aiding Upon Others
A nice night for Keiko and Akechi to enjoy their date to return back at Cafe Leblanc with Morgana following them on a fun night that was, huh? It was there for Sojiro to be working to see the two returning and Keiko doing better than yesterday 'to have her mask over her mouth' all day when she went out.
Keiko: Mr Sakura, we're back!
Akechi: It's fun staying over the weekend with my girlfriend.
He sees them as he was tidy up the place on his own.
Sojiro: Oh, you're home. You seem to be doing a whole lot better now, Keiko, good. I've been waiting for you to come back.
Someone was in a good mood today, and it's Sojiro Sakura himself to want to tell Keiko something else next.
Morgana: What's got the chief in such high spirits today?
Akechi: Should I leave you two be...?
I don't think was nothing to worry about for Akechi at all.
Sojiro: It's fine, Akechi, I just need to ask Keiko a few things. Tell me...how's your pocket situation been going for you?
Besides doing part time jobs to helping out and such, seems to be going fine for Keiko to do of the things.
Keiko: Ah, it's been going well to spend on important things only or food and drinks. Why?
This only made Sojiro laugh about it.
Sojiro: Hahaha, you're hopeless sometimes, Keiko. Here!
From the bar table, Sojiro wants to give Keiko a five thousand yen.
Akechi: I think he wants to give you money for helping him a lot, Keiko.
Morgana: What? Is this...a real five thousand yen?!
Where did Sojiro get all of the money from beside having a job to work at and to own?
Sojiro: Won a lottery today to share some with you. And besides helping me clean up the entire place to earn your keep here is the least I can do to say thanks.
I guess Keiko surprisingly takes it since Sojiro allow her to.
Keiko: I don't how you did it, Mr. Sakura, but if you say so, thanks a bunch. (He's a lucky guy to win a lot like this.)
One thing, from one of Chihaya's other predictions about money waiting for Keiko at the door did come true.
Morgana: Looks like Chihaya was right, her powers are real. That's so cool! I hope whatever happens to read your fortune again, Madame Keiko, we can fix something without you or Akechi dying!
Good point...As Sojiro closes shop now to go home, Keiko takes the money to be enough to get the stone on sale to be the right price for Keiko to spend it on.
Keiko: (I knew Chihaya's powers were real. Maybe with this money, I can get that stone when I see her again, I can do that.) Akechi, want to go watch something on TV together before we head to bed?
He doesn't mind spending more time with his Keiko to go do so.
Akechi: For you, Keiko, anything...
For Morgana leaves them be for them to be in their PJ's and for Keiko and Akechi both made out with each other to hug, kissing, tongue kissing, and touching all over. A sweet moment for them to make their weekend count at any time like this one and so on. For the whole dream and Akechi seeing the Phantom Thieves will have to wait to talk about, one step at a time...
Keiko: I love you, Akechi-Cun.
Akechi: I love you too, Princess.
Keiko: (A sweet moment like this to never let go of or to see my Akechi be put in danger because of me, I will save him and everyone else from the pervert Shadow and the Lilith who haunts the both of us in our dreams. I'll do what I must to face with my own destiny head on to stop this nightmare one way or another. As long as I have friends too, we as the Team Phantom of the Phantom Thief of Heart can save others from anyone else who's bad.)
And she, Morgana to be having his own cat bed now, and the other four will along with both Jackie and Witch. As night turns into day time 'and the Phan-Site ratings to believe in the Phantom Thieves goes up to 21 something percent and still going up more and more, little at a time that is...Still, it was a very good thing.

Day # 78 – June 6/26th – Sunday
Yeah! It's morning! For Keiko was feeling a whole lot better now to rest up and feel like herself again for Morgana to see, and so did Akechi to both be happy it's finally over.
Morgana: Looking good, Madame Keiko.
Keiko: Finally..It's all over.
Her boyfriend checks on Keiko's forehead to not feel hot anymore.
Akechi: Well, would you look at that. You're all better now.
Keiko: I'm glad I'm not sick anymore to not wear the mask over my mouth. It feels nice. And...I still wish I wasn't having any bad dreams as well that's been going on. (This should get his attention.)
And it does work 'somehow' for Akechi to overhear on what Keiko just said as Morgana listen in.
Akechi: …! Bad dreams? I'm sorry to hear. It's the same with me from some monster who's a woman trying to hurt me and another male type of a devil trying to take you away from me...
Then it came to them both.
Keiko: You dreamt about it too...?
Akechi: And you the same...?
Morgana: (Madame Keiko was right of the dream she and Akechi been having together!)
Looks like they both have been to be destiny or something worse for them both of two images who haunted the two.
Keiko and Akechi: We have the same dream?
Morgana: (Then how can Akechi explain about seeing us from last night?)
There's a lot for them to talk about at one another, but how will Keiko ask Akechi without telling him about her being a Phantom Thief member?
Keiko: Ah, Akechi-Cun...
Akechi: I guess I can tell you about it. I doubt the others from the police station, the law offices, Sae-san, or your friends will know about me born with a gift...Kind of like the fortune teller's. For you, Princess, I'll tell you about me.
Keiko: You're okay with that? (Kind of way easy to do this than I thought it would.) I sort of have some odd powers too, but...
Akechi: It's okay. There's no use hiding it in shame, you have your reasons...I won't complain.
Hey, he seems to understand what Keiko might be going through like Akechi was. Wait, the Phantom Thief thing or just be the same as Chihaya is for the two...? Well, either way – Keiko and Morgana get to hear on what Akechi's been seeing in his dreams like his girlfriend has been having, for the two to learn a lot more about one another. Here comes the important one next.
Akechi: Just so you know, Keiko, my family's hard to talk about...My Father, not so much to notice me. And for my Mother...She died.
This gets their attentions once Akechi saying about his father to be unknown much and his mother who past away, it sounded sad.
Keiko: (That's awful...! That's why his boss took him in to train of becoming a detective.)
Akechi: I...have trouble knowing my father to not care or notice me like he did with my mom to died from a terrible illness that couldn't be cured from. That's when my boss took me in after so many foster homes I had to go to and seeing lots of other kids losing their family from crimes, drugs, alcohol, and murder; it was on that day I wanted to be a detective to stop all the the bad guys to help bring justice for others to be brave and fight back, besides the cops all over the world type of thing. My job meant a lot to me to have trouble do more or m school work, making friends, and finding real love...not from the many fan girls of mine. You're the only one for me to ever love, Keiko, that's never change. As for the powers I have...I was born with it I think on my Mother's side to sense who's good and who's bad to know your place from the people around you, I was scared from having it at first. You don't know how long it took me to get use to have these. I never hated it, I just don't get it. Maybe there's a lot about me than solving mysteries and stopping crime. And as for the dream...
Here comes the very important part next...
Morgana: (Give us to scoop on what you do know of, Akechi. Come on...!)
Akechi: ...It's going to be hard to explain, but I'll try. It always shows of me seeing you in another arms of a strange man, but he's not human at all human. He's bad, wants everything for himself, and to hurt me by getting to you to love him more than our love...He's trouble to feel real but it's hard to tell between a dream and reality. And that other monster he has, a woman in disguised as something beautiful to take anything away with a powerful grasp from her arm; it shows of her doing something to me with a man, for him to be having you, by hurting me the most, and then the woman who's a monster goes out on type of killing spree. It could be a warning or something far worse to hurt the many lives we all care about it. Friends, families, those with pure hearts, even the criminals behind bars to be killed from someone else who's far worse than they are. It happens every night for me with no end...What do they want with me? Why these powers? And why are you in it, Keiko? That's all I want to know about is some answers...It's so hard to find out who these...things are! It just won't end!
He was scared, worried, and angry for the nightmares to never end to be very real than just something to drives you mad with fear. For Akechi to have them like Keiko does, there has to be an answer.
Keiko: (So I was right...) Akechi...Akechi-Cun...! Please calm down! I know how much it hurts you from this whole thing, I get it. But you don't have to worry about me.
Seems to be working to calming Akechi down thanks to Keiko's sweet words to him.
Akechi: Why? Why say such things when neither one of us don't know the answers to?
Keiko: (Come on, Keiko, think of something. Make something up!) You know how you love to solve mysteries for a young ace detective? I do too. But with answers to finding the truth somehow, you're not the only one, Akechi-Cun. I have powers I was born with on my father's side to feel things out from other people's feeling for my mother loves him for that. In the bloodline, I guess. But the point is this...It just need to dig into the truth until we come across it somehow, like me to do it my way and you too and not stop until the answers is right under out noses. Even if they're real, we can let it drive us mad, we have to fight back...! Somehow.
Nice way to hide the other truth 'for now' for Morgana sees of Akechi buying the other one to believe in Keiko's words.
Akechi: Yeah...In any case, you're right, Keiko. If we both play our parts to solving this problems and having these powers, were bound to find something real soon. Sorry to have you worried, but I won't anymore until we solved the two nightmares. I won't let anything happen to you, Keiko, I love you a lot.
Then it's a deal to work something out for each other and to stop it for good soon enough. But will it be when Keiko has to tell Akechi the truth of the Phantom Thief thing...? Maybe.
Keiko: And I love you a lot too, Akechi. Then let's make sure for our strange powers to get some answers. Let's you and I do our best then.
The two hugged and kissed to do just that to not worry so much other than stopping it.
Akechi: We will. I have to get back to my apartment today until this coming Friday, you want to walk back with me?
Morgana tags along for today's Sunday for Keiko to go out again.
Keiko: (What a good timing to do it.) Okay, Akechi-Cun. I'll walk you back, but still see you sometimes and for more fun again next weekend.
Sounds like another fun date until then and seeing one another.
Akechi: I like it very much. Thanks again, Princess. Talking to you about this helps me out a lot to heave people understand me a whole lot more.
Keiko: Well, I'm happy to help out.
As they help out one another to eat and get changed to head back to Akechi's place Keiko to help him out to spend more time until he has to go back to work again, there was some clues that both Keiko and Morgana have gotten to tell the others about the two enemies real soon.
Morgana: (Nice work, Madame Keiko, this is enough we need to learn more about this later. And as for Akechi, I think he can more useful than being a detective. Born with powers like her and mine isn't just luck, it's a gift.)
Sounds like it to have more things to come for Akechi here. As he gets back to get a ride at the train station and Keiko and Morgana go out for a while to see Ann to be doing well...
Ann: Look at you all better, Keiko, I'm so happy for you.
Keiko: Thanks, Ann. I need to get some more pants and shoes, a few of them to have. Want to shop with me and I'll tell you what happened yesterday?
Ann: OK! Let's go shopping! I wish to hear how you and Akechi are holding up.
With that for them to be having some fun and then hanging out at the park all day for the two and Morgana 'the news will have to wait for later when all of the group is gathered up', and then both Keiko and Morgana go see how Yoshi was doing with his speechless he was still giving out to his people; and for her to help him out to spread the message for more of crowd to fill up was working well to make this man very happy about it and talking to someone name Benzo. Nicely done.
Yoshi: So much good is happening for me and no longer calling me by the nickname – 'No-Good Toro' as it use to be. I'm glad. And thank you once again for your help, Keiko. Come back when I need some help again pretty please.
Keiko: Of course I will, Yoshi sir. Anytime.
A nice day to get out a bit with a friend, one to tag along with you, and another to help out to walk Keiko's boyfriend back home for now until they do see each other again to call it a day until school's over tomorrow.
Morgana: A good time to relax, it's nice, huh Madame Keiko? We better head on home and go to sleep, I'm beat.
And they do back in the Cafe Leblanc to get dress, get clean up, shower, eat, text her friends, even Akechi, and head to bed for Keiko and Morgana to sleep with the TV on for a while until their eyes got heavy to shut. A nice week it was to help out someone and get cured from an illness for Keiko to fight back thanks to Tae's help.
Year 20xx
Day # 79 – June 6/27th – Monday
Another rainy day to get to school to go on a train for Keiko 'and Morgana' for her to see Akechi to be passing by as well to feel much better since they talked yesterday to see each other again. Making out real quick for their love will keep them to see each other again.
Akechi: It was only yesterday in the afternoon I had to return back home, and I'm here today to see how my girl's doing.
Keiko: Oh, Akechi-Cun. A bit wet from the rain today, but that's nothing to carry your own umbrella if you have to.
They both have it to only get their pants and legs wet.
Akechi: And for you to see to start off my day, I have to get to work for something special to happen.
Keiko: You seem to be in a hurry again. May I ask on today's planning day of yours?
Akechi: More TV shows to appear in to talk about the Phantom Thieves. I know what I said yesterday for other fans to agree, and some don't. Lucky to get out of school, but at the same time...it's still hard on me.
Lots of work to be done for one teenager high school to work hard, be famous, and still goes to high school.
Keiko: Hey, it's fine. Just do your best like you always do it for your fans and for me. And it's fine about the Phantom Thief thing, I believe they fight for justice to know that fact...Not to sound like I'm upset in a good way.
Akechi: I know you, Keiko, it's fine what you think and I agree. No use complaining about then...I'll go do my best. Kisses for luck.
They kiss to be going their own trains to head out.
Keiko: (At least he's starting to get us being Phantom Thieves little by little.) Bye, Akechi-Cun! You'll do great today!
And he does. As for Keiko to do well once again in Ms. Chouno's class to get another English class type of answer. Same old, same old to pass her other classes as well; then afterwards Keiko goes see how Yusuke was doing once school was over at the Shibuya Station Underground Walkway for her to meet with her friend again.
Morgana: Hey, Yusuke.
Yusuke: Ms. Keiko, I'm so happy you're feeling well again.
Keiko: Thanks, Yusuke.
Remember the painting of Yusuke to make Shadows/Personas? He can do to update Keiko's powers to talk more to about it.
Yusuke: I would like to speak to you about the painting I developed in Mementos. Do you have time?
Plenty for today to do something for a friend like him.
Keiko: I have time today. Where is it?
Yusuke: This painting's a bit bigger from the Mementos we go to for me to show it to you. Meet me at Leblanc and I'll bring it over.
He does that from his school to being a huge portrait painting of his of the Mementos that Yusuke made from art work of his, for Keiko and Morgana were left speechless to see a different work of black, white, and red all over. It looks so strange, and yet so breath taking.
Keiko: Wow...Yusuke, did you do all of this? (I don't think I can do this fine art like this one.)
Morgana: Incredible! I never seen fine art like this one before!
All of this was done by Yusuke himself to show Keiko and Morgana to not keep their eyes off of this painting.
Yusuke: Ms. Keiko, this is the complete form of my draft from earlier. I would like your honest opinion if you would...
Looking at it carefully to hear on what Keiko thinks about it.
Keiko: Its a lot to go into it, shows more feelings from that world we go to.
To train and change other hearts at times...
Yusuke: I do this more than show others to love it. To me, it's a charm to hold the abyss of someone's heart which it's trap from within. I needed to know something from it. Ms. Keiko, I wish to tell you and Morgana about this painting...I intend on submitting this piece to an upcoming public art exhibition. My work will shine, to show more emotion to it, like I am with you, Ms. Keiko...
Hiding Keiko's hands for Yusuke to admit his feelings again, for Morgana tell him to stop. He only hurts Ryuji more than Yusuke to scold him in words.
Morgana: Hey! Hey! Hands off, Yusuke!
Yusuke: I'm only doing just that to still care about her is all.
Morgana knows for him to still hate when other guys hit on Keiko a lot.
Keiko: So much for others to see fine art from this one. I know they'll like it a lot, Yusuke, it'll become famous.
Yusuke: That they will. How nice of you to say that to me, Ms. Keiko, you're so understanding.
A lot to know her friends more and see more art work that Yusuke does and shows it to the whole world in the future.
Morgana: I want to see more art work like this later.
Yusuke: And I will make it happen, one step at a time that is. But for now, I should be going with this. My apologies for disturbing you, Ms. Keiko.
For Keiko and Yusuke go back to the train station to help out with the art work and such, for him to go back with it and Keiko and Morgana too headed out a bit more to do something else...Like what? Well, the two went down to Shinjuku to see their journalist friend again Ohya to be drinking at the same bar she goes to, again. And on a rainy night to walk there for Keiko brought an umbrella. For Yuuki to see her passing by...
Yuuki: (Ah, Amamiya...Even in the rain, your beauty never fades away from me.)
Still in love with her...Keiko enters to the bar to see how Ohya's doing for Lala Escargot tells of her whereabouts.
Lala: Looking for Ichiko again, sweetheart? Back at the booth side of the place is where she's sitting at. Make yourself a home.
And Keiko does to get juice and Ohya to have hers to drink a bit too much...
Morgana: Madame Keiko, talk to her will ya? I'll leave this to you since I can't stand the smell of her booze too much...!
Keiko: I got it.
For Keiko tries to make a deal with Ohya to give her scoop stories on bad people, and she'll tell her more about the Phantom Thieves in return. Sounds like a very good deal there. Well, trying to get through a drunk person might be a bit hard.
Ohya: Hey, Lala-chan...Are you sure this isn't just water? If you're tryin' to rip me off, I'm gonna reveal all your secrets in a feature article!
With her talking away all drunk-like Ohya sees Keiko again.
Keiko: Ah, hi... (She risks of boozes!)
Ohya: Oh! It's you, Keiko Amamiya!
Keiko: It's me...Man, my friend Junko would not be like you are, but she would love to learn on how you work as a journalist.
From that name there gets Ohya's attention to be serious even when she's drunk.
Ohya: Junko who...?
Keiko: My friend from school, Junko Sakura. A new year there who's trying to become a journalist like you are. Young, clumsy, and different...But she's a good person. She made a get well card for others to sign when I got sick a few days ago. It was nice of her.
True, Junko was. And it was her name for Ohya to write it down in case she forgets to have something on her mind there.
Ohya: I see...What an odd familiar name to me. So...What's up? Got anything new on the Phantom Thieves for me?
Changing the subject already, so weird...
Keiko: Well...
Ohya: Or maybe...You're just falling in love with someone who's the same age as you are, hm?
Keiko: I do have a boyfriend, yes. And I have some news. Remember?
This gets the reporter up and at them already.
Ohya: You do have news about the Phantom Thieves...? Thank god...My publisher just assigned me to be the beat reporter for the Phantom Thieves. Man...this will really help me out.
Keiko: Are you drunk just saying it or you just want me to say those words?
Hard to tell for Ohya can do two things like it at the same time, not all drunk people can't!
Lala: Are you seriously going to use this child as a source of information?
The bartender had a weird feeling about all of this...
Ohya: Oh, don't be such a killjoy. These kids nowadays know about things we adult don't have access to. Besides, what's most important is that I now have a reliable third party source for my stories.
Keiko didn't mind helping out 'even though she's leader of the Phantom Thieves'.
Keiko: We're cool with it, really.
Lala: Whatever...
And now, it was time to give Ohya some scoop for Keiko to talk about 'truthfully' as she always does.
Ohya: So, Amamiya, what do you want from me this time? Information about someone? Cold hard cash?
What will Keiko tell Ohya about first?
Keiko: Ah, I just want to make a deal is all for tonight. But I do want to tell you more about them later.
Ohya: Huh?
Surprising to Ohya, she just laughs about it instead.
Lala: OK...?
Ohya: Lucky me! My very own golden goose just appeared. Now I can take it easy...Maybe I'll take a little vacation, with all my free time...As if.
From being silly and now acting serious for Ohya wants more answers out of Keiko.
Keiko: Okay? (She's more serious now.)
Ohya: What do you want. Just tell me. Last time it was info on Kaneshiro, right? The office has been abuzz lately...I think it's Kaneshiro related. Something's fishy...
Keiko: No, the bad guys are.
Nice little joke there to almost had Morgana laughing a little.
Ohya: Oh, wait...I know what's going on here...Amamiya, you must be a Phantom Thief type of hardcore fan girl, aren't you?
Well, we can go with that a little...
Lala: Hey, I'm not gonna let you use this young lady so you can take a vacation...
Ohya: A vacation...? Oh, I was just kidding. I'm conducting a private investigation during my off hours. No one at work knows about it.
Yeah, yeah, Ohya can get away with things at work to still gets the job done.
Lala: Don't tell me you're...
Keiko: She's not skipping work, right?
Ah, I don't think Ohya's an idiot. Drunk a lot, yes. But not an idiot to get her stories.
Ohya: Hey, Amamiya, how 'bout we do this...You supply me with info on the Phantom Thieves...And I'll write articles based on what you tell me about them. You know, the Phantom Thieves who you love oh-so-much...Deal?
Sounds like a fair deal for Keiko to take it up with Ohya right there.
Keiko: (This is good.) Yeah, I like it.
Ohya: ...All right then. It's a deal. I can create a lot of positive PR for the Phantom Thieves, so be sure to give me some god scoops.
They shake on it to make another friend and the deal was set.
Keiko: (Looks like I just made a good deal with Ohya to show that the Phantom Thieves fight for justice.)
For which they do for Ohya to hear more about it for herself...
Tayla: Getting back to the present day for Keiko remember a little about Ohya to talk about her next for Sae to listen in. Seeing her at bars to not drink was the right choice to make. Lots of information scoop to get from an adult's help to understand things a bit more and to learn more about was a lot. To go back to the past for Keiko had another slot opened up of Keiko having Ohya's Confidant to have for an adult friend to help out.
Sae: Your reputation skyrocketed after a certain point. It's unnatural how much your actions were publicized. Did you have an inside man in the media? Someone who could manipulate information for you? ...What do you have to say to that?
Another one to be serious on Ohya's job and drunk to relax herself way too much.
I am thou, thou art I...Thou hast acquired a new vow.
It shall become the wings of rebellion that breaketh thy chains of captivity.
With the birth of the Devil Persona, I have obtained the winds of blessing that shall lead to freedom and new power...
Tayla: Devil Arcana # 13 - Ichiko Ohya
Portrayed as a hermaphrodite devil over two naked and chained figures, the negative aspect of the Devil Arcana represents the urge to do selfish, impulsive, violent things, and being a slave to ones' own impulse and feelings. Occasionally, it is also portrayed as a symbol of temptation. The positive aspect, however, represents a healthy bond or commitment.
A Persona of the Devil Arcana will commonly excel in dark-based affinities. Fittingly, the Devil Arcana is typically represented by the devils and evil deities of mythology.
Human characters associated with the Devil Arcana are often "devilish" individuals; they can be greedy, proud, lustful, or otherwise of poor character. It is not uncommon for this type of character to have somewhat of an antisocial tendency, often not caring much for the needs or well-being of others. Although this is true, they are also characters that are committed to a cause, usually being their work.
Cool! For Keiko and Morgana will all set there to see Ohya on some nights, she had one more thing to say to her.
Ohya: Oh, Amamiya, please don't tell anyone about this, OK? I don't want people to know that my source is a high schooler.
Keiko: I won't tell anyone, I promise.
Just the Phantom Thieves themselves.
Ohya: Thanks, you're the best...OK, Lala-Chaaaaan! Time to celebrate our agreement! Bring out my bottle! And two glasses please...!
Keiko: I'm not drinking.
Like Lala wants to see Ohya get wasted a lot more.
Ohya: ...C'mon! Please...? ...Whoa, her silence is golden. Fine, fine, FINE! I won't make the high schooler drink.
Keiko: Thanks, Ohya.
Well, that might be a bit for Ohya to not feel so well.
Ohya: Ugh, I gotta use the bathroom...
And the puking happens to hear from outside of the bathroom, for Ohya again had way too much to drink. For Lala said that she'll be fine afterwards to not let Keiko stay on a school night.
Lala: She's gonna be in there for a while. You should go home.
Keiko: I'll do that. Tell Ohya to get well and drink responsibly.
A good night for Keiko and Morgana to head on back to the Cafe Leblanc to get clean up for bed to getting some sleep too, while Ohya gets well to sober up later and then getting a ride back to her apartment safely. She's not a bad person once you get to know her a lot more, that's Ohya for you.
Year 20xx
Day # 80 – June 6/28th – Tuesday
Another day to get through school for Keiko to then leave once it was all over. For Ryuji invites Keiko and Morgana to hang with him at the Ogikubo Ramen Shop for them to eat out, for them to be enjoying it a lot as friends, and not to go on dates.
Ryuji: Thanks for hanging out with me, Keiko. Just needed someone to talk to.
Morgana was enjoying his food to have.
Keiko: It's fun, Ryuji, the ramen here's good for me to eat some of it...And you need to be careful on your end.
Ryuji: It's fine...I just have a lot on my mind. Between how hot your are and Ann...
This almost made Morgana choke on his food for Ryuji has been thinking about Ann a lot to be more in love with.
Morgana: Ryuji loves Lady Ann?!
Keiko: (I saw this one coming.) So, you really are in love with Ann? Good for you.
Ryuji: Hey, come on! I still have some feelings for you...! And yeah, I think I might be fallen for her.
Seeing Morgana not liking this...
Morgana: First Madame Keiko and now Lady Ann?!
The two carefully cover his mouth to be meowing a lot.
Keiko: Morgana, keep your voice down...Well, Ryuji, if I were you, talk to Ann to admit your feelings to her. (Because she really is in love with you.) I'm sure she'll love you back.
Morgana will be fine for Ryuji's a good person on other parts to see that he and Ann knew each other for quiet some time.
Ryuji: Yeah, I think you make a good point, babe. As always...All right! I'll do it! I'm gotta tell her on how I feel and then it'll make my effin' day!
Try to control your indoor voice there...
Keiko: There you go, just not so loud. Please.
Ryuji: My bad...Either way, Keiko, I'll stay be there for you as a friend to love.
Good enough to keep it like that.
Morgana: Yeah, whatever...Ryuji, you better treat her well or so help me-!
Ryuji: I got it, cat! Look, let just enjoy our food.
He was for Morgana was good now and Keiko was just about done.
Keiko: (It's good for one person to change on how Ryuji truly feels.)
Next Keiko and Morgana walk the food off by going back to Shinjuku area to see Chihaya to use the money on the gem to get and to use, best than not meeting an for neither Keiko and/or Akechi. And surprisingly, she knew that Keiko would come back from her powers to feel things to know what was what. Cool!
Chihaya: Why hello there, Keiko-Chan, I felt you would come back today. As for the money I also felt of you getting on your way back...Will you use it to purchase the Holy Stone today?
Keiko: (For myself, my friends, and Akechi-Cun's sake.) Here you go.
And so, Keiko uses the money she got from Sojiro to get an item to be useful in battle.
Morgana: This could come in handy.
Chihaya: Thank you very much. This will allow to protect you from any bad misfortunes from here out. I know you'll do well with it, just recharge under a moonlight three times a day when you can, Keiko-Chan. And please come again.
The two shake on it to become good friends now for Keiko and Morgana to come by at the booth to see Chihaya at any time. For those two to head on back to Cafe Leblanc to call it a night, just as Keiko finishes cleaning up the place 'at last to be done'...For Sojiro needed to get some salt to cook something with it later before closing the cafe.
Sojiro: Keiko, I'm glad you're back. Listen, I need to pick up some more salt for my cooking before closing up for tonight. Stay here until I get back, will you? Thanks.
As he left, Morgana felt something break from Keiko's school back with the stone for Morgana to notice.
Keiko: Morgana?
Morgana: I think I might've broke something...Ah! The stone!
That's not good to hear, but that's not all...
Keiko: Why are you tasting the broken stone?
Morgana: Hmm...It taste like salt.
Keiko: Salt? The money we just gave to Chihaya for us to be protected is fake? I've been scammed?
Seems like it since it did happened to Keiko from someone like Chihaya, but why is that...?
Morgana: All that money gone for this? Something's up besides the chief picking up some more salt. Some type of fortune to go around you out of nowhere? That Chihaya girl's up to something...
Like what though? That part of guessing was hard to figure it out.
Keiko: Yeah, she is...Her powers are real and different, but she's not trouble for me to feel out. Morgana, when we see her next time, we will learn more on what Chihaya was doing for me. I promise.
When Keiko doe see Chihaya again to talk about it will be good enough to do.
Morgana: That's fine, Madame Keiko. Let just wait until the chief comes back and head to bed. Still...the money we did had could've been used to get some nice tuna fish for me to eat. It's so good...And not because I look or act like a cat. I'm just saying.
We know, Morgana, there's no need to worry about it. Something will work out for Keiko and Chihaya somehow...Anyways, they headed to bed afterwards for another day to start off for them again the next morning.

Day # 81 – June 6/29th – Wednesday
Another day at school and another thing for Keiko to get another answer right in Kawa's class today 'as always'. And after that, Keiko and Ann hang out with each other to go out to eat and talk about things as the best of friends they are 'and some food Morgana was getting from to have small ones to enjoy them', for Keiko had some news to tell Ann about. But that's now all, it was on how Ann's other friend Shiho was holding up too.
Ann: Keiko, guess what? I told Shiho what Mika was acting like during the photo shoot and before you and I stopped the Shadow, and she laughed. I was smiling a lot just to see her feeling a whole lot better now.
Keiko: That's great! It must hard for her, but she'll make a full recovery to feel like Shiho's old self again, Ann, I just know it. (It's good to hear that Ann's friend's pulling through so much.) Oh! You know of Ryuji? He's been talking about you lately...
Surprising to Ann to hear such news to still feel nervous about it and Morgana a bit jealous...she wanted to hear more on what Ryuji told Keiko about Ann herself.
Ann: He did...?! Great-! Ah, great news...I knew that fool would come around.
Morgana: And they make a cute couple why again?
Looks like someone's acting all tough and all to feel really shy.
Keiko: Here's the thing, Ann, you should tell Ryuji how you feel to let those feelings out of you. It'll be fine. Because I know you two are meant to be to truly love each other like I do with Akechi and me...When the time comes, both of you will know what to admit it. If Shiho can get through the other mess, then so can you two lovers.
She makes a very good point about love to let Ann know to do just that 'and the same thing with Ryuji on his end', for both of them will have to say it soon enough, right?
Ann: Yeah, I'll see what I can do...Maybe when Shiho gets better?
Keiko: That can work. I'll have him come see you then and for me to support you two.
Ann: You will?! That would be awesome, Keiko! Thanks! For good strength to build up like from friends, training, and from real love. I'm starting to get it a whole lot more so far...I know I'm getting the hang of this.
A start to slowly build up for Keiko and Morgana to see Ann was doing well.
Keiko: With us doing all of this together, Ann, we can do anything. You're a really good friend to me.
Ann: And you are too, Keiko, always and forever.
A nice thing for some girl time of them being the best friends ever to make Morgana very happy.
Morgana: (They sure are very good friends.)
With Keiko and Morgana walking back to Cafe Leblanc to help out Sojiro do a few things to cook and make more coffee for tomorrow 'and some tonight', more cleaning must be done for Keiko to have Kawa do her rounds on others to serve with her help and then come over to Leblanc to do the rest for Keiko to pay her and then get paid on the other parts, same old same old. And Keiko trying out the maid outfit to keep and it looks cute on her.
Kawa: Well, look at you, Keiko...You're looking cute.
Like a real servant maid for Keiko thinks about one boy to impress only...
Keiko: (Only Akechi-Cun...Only Akechi-Cun...)
Kawa: Come on, Keiko, it'll be fine. If it's for your boyfriend to play with, you can wear it just for him only. A lot of boys to be hitting on you like Mishima-san and Sakamoto-san. A lot of money would you get if you were old enough to work like I do, but without being a teacher like I am.
More sister thing 'or so it would seem to be' for Keiko to understand what Kawa was going through with her job and getting more money.
Keiko: Helping out your sister? I get it. Only for my boyfriend would I do this for him and for me to help you out to make more money...
Kawa: And what you do to help me that you keep your fair share of. It's only right. I hope from this job that I'm doing to one day be freed and find someone who'll love me who's my age...Not a high schooler though.
She was over thinking it and smart to know not to go so far, not for Kawa.
Keiko: Yeah, you'll find the right guy who'll love you on who you really are, Ms. Kawakami. As a teacher or as a maid for an adult male. (And yeah, have a male student fall for her would be bad...For Ryuji, Yusuke, and Yuuki, I don't think so.)
That would be even worse if they did see Kawa as the maid, but they ran away.
Kawa: Again, thanks for helping me with my servant jobs for the right people to go to. And please...If you're well, also call me to aid you on your chores sometimes. See you next time, Keiko, and don't over do your studies now...Once step at a time.
Keiko: Good night, Becky, and thanks again!
A nice night to hang out and work to call it a day now for Kawa herself for Morgana and Keiko go to sleep too afterwards once they got clean up and such to hit the hay in a nice bed. And a bit more to twenty-two percent on the rating on the Phan-Site and still growing some more.
Year 20xx
Day # 82 – June 6/30th – Thursday
Another fine day to take the train to school for Keiko and Morgana as Ann bumps into them again to see how they were doing.
Ann: I hate rainy seasons to be so hot and humidity...I hope it ends soon.
Morgana: Tell me about it.
Happening a lot more for Morgana since he was in cat form with fur all over to feel so hot.
Keiko: We just got to try to make it through.
Ann: I know. And since June's almost over, we should go to train some more at the Mementos before we hear the news about Kaneshiro's confession.
Keiko: Yeah, let's make plans for that later. (The more training we do and saving people's hearts to change, the better we'll be well known.)
They will get to it in no time...As school ends once again today for both Keiko and Morgana take their umbrella to go somewhere else to try doing something for a bit, they go see Yusuke to see his latest art work at the museum at Ueno – of the Get Cultured in Art place to be on display for others couldn't help but to look at it a lot – to really enjoy on how it looks like. It's really good. Well, some of them didn't get it to be very confused from the whole portrait.
Keiko: Hey, Yusuke, everyone's liking your art work.
Yusuke: Some do. I can see that, but others cannot get it. Have a look and see.
The other seem to notice right away.
Morgana: Some people just don't seem to understand. How rude.
Keiko: Oh, Yusuke...
But it doesn't seem to bother Yusuke one bit to keep on following his dreams.
Yusuke: ...There's no need to worry, Morgana and Ms. Keiko. This is nothing. I'm not bother by this at all. As long there are others who know of my art work, that's all that matters to me. See? More people are liking it. Either way, to have others like or hate it to still start off differently. Ms. Keiko, I will continue on with my dreams with friends and those who love art will help me get through my goal.
That's the spirit for Yusuke to keep on going to no doubt himself by anyone else anymore.
Keiko: (I'm glad you're hanging in there...) Yeah, Yusuke, you just keep at it. I know you can do it.
Yusuke: I got other plans to do, I hope to talk to you soon, Ms. Keiko.
Keiko: Yeah, I need to go see someone so I'll see you again later.
So much to do for Yusuke to get it done soon enough. Once Keiko and Morgana left, the two headed to Shinjuku area to see Chihaya about the false stone that was made of salt to ask more about it...But she was talking with some other costumer for the two to see.
Morgana: Another costumer Chihaya's with? I wonder what she's telling this guy of his fortune...
Keiko: That's what I like to know about too.
Guess the two have no other choice but to eavesdrop to hear what Chihaya and the costumer is saying to one another...For she sounded a bit nervous to this woman, why is that?
Chihaya: ...How are you healing?
Lady: I-I'm fine. It's my fault anyway, Yuya said so...He said he doesn't want to hit me, but I just made him so mad...
Chihaya: I suggest you break up with him. Things are only going to get worse at this rate.
Troublesome with the woman having bad times with her boyfriend or something, doesn't sound good at all.
Lady: B-But I'm the only person that cares about him! If I leave, how will he survive...? Please, is there any other way?
Chihaya: ...Let us ask tarot. O divine power, shed of light upon her fate...
She does the card reading with Chihaya's read powers to tell her costumer on what the woman's fate was.
Chihaya: Yes, I've seen everything. Hm...I can sense a dark presence within your boyfriend. His heart seems to be possessed by a demon.
Both Morgana and Keiko sense something for them and Chihaya to sense out to be very real.
Keiko: (A man being posses...? A Shadow.)
Chihaya: This demon may hide itself away at times, but when it strikes, it will bring with it great misery.
Lady: Wh-What kind of misery...?
Chihaya: You'll be hospitalized for severe injuries suffered in a domestic abuse innocent, and he will be arrested.
Sounds bad news and it's all true if this keeps up.
Lady: What? Hospitalized? A-Arrested?! I knew I shouldn't have let Yuya throw my Holy Stone away! He said I shouldn't been wasting my money on some dumb rock...that I should be giving it to him instead. This is my punishment for letting him do that, right? Please, let me buy another one from you!
And this person was buying in to all of this to use more money to getting some more like one that Keiko did.
Chihaya: Wh-What...? You want another?
Lady: My next stone will need to be even bigger. I'm a little low on cash at the moment...but you said I can pay in up to thirty six installments, right?
Chihaya: Um, truthfully, I feel breaking up with him would be the best-
But she still won't listen to Chihaya for her to be right about all of this.
Lady: I can't abandon Yuya!
Now Morgana and Keiko get it all.
Morgana: She won't leave this guy as long as she gets that false Holy Stone? Seriously?!
Keiko: There has to be another way to keep Chihaya's powers to be true and not false for others to take her job to be very real.
Then here was a thought...
Morgana: If that's the case, try changing this Yuya's heart in the Mementos later on. You heard the lady, she needs help for us Phantom Thieves to do something about it.
This has Chihaya hear Morgana meowing only to stop to spot him and Keiko.
Chihaya: Hey, were you spying on me, Keiko-Chan?
Keiko: No, Chihaya. But about the Holy Stone, there's more to fix this than an item.
Chihaya: No there isn't! The demon within your boyfriend's heart...cannot be exorcised by normal human methodologies. Fate is...absolute...
That's where the Phantom Thieves to come in to do just that than the woman staying with her so call boyfriend.
Lady: I don't know what you're saying, but there has to be another way around this, is there...?
This woman was taking Keiko's words a bit more seriously.
Keiko: Please tell me this...Who's your boyfriend's full name.
Lady: Um, his full name is Yuya Uchimura...Miss, why do you want to know? What are you planning to do?
Chihaya: What do you have in mind...?
With the two girls asking Keiko with so many questions, how will she answer back...?
Keiko: (I have to come clean on one thing...) I'm wiling to change this person in any way to help out others who can't do it alone.
Hard to admit it a little to stretch the truth there.
Chihaya: What...? You honestly believe you can do something, Keiko-Chan?
Keiko: I want to, Chihaya, it's who I am.
And how does the woman feel about all of this...?
Lady: ...Wait, I...I trust you.
Well, she'll take Keiko's word for it.
Chihaya: Excuse me?!
Keiko: You will...? I mean I'll do my best for you in any way.
Yeah, for Chihaya to feel something for Keiko to make a change for this person to keep her boyfriend somehow.
Lady: It feels like he's telling the truth. Besides, Yuya has all of my money. He's going to pay me back someday...But for now, I would rather put my trust in this one girl than in thirty six payments for a Holy Stone.
Chihaya: What?!
Is she shock about the news that Chihaya was hearing or how it can be done for Keiko to be a Phantom Thief leader? The woman leaves to bow to Keiko and takes off.
Lady: Thank you and good luck.
And once she was gone, Chihaya was a bit mad to question Keiko on what just happened.
Keiko: I didn't think it'll work, but somehow it did.
Morgana: Just not as much as explaining everything in some details to Chihaya might be hard to work out next...
Yeah, she was kind of mad.
Chihaya: Keiko-Chan! What do you think you're doing?! If you keep making up excuses like this, the divine powers will rain punishment down upon you!
Keiko: Wait, Chihaya, I did this for you! I'm not trying to ruined your business or anything like that!
She seems to be calming down now since Keiko explained herself to Chihaya to listen.
Chihaya: ...You look so pleased with yourself...Hm I've seen everything. A vision of you groveling on the ground...Fate cannot be changed...and I will prove that fact to you! If that woman stays with her abusive boyfriend, she will meet a horrible injury within a year's time. Now if you, Keiko-Chan, honestly believe you can change her destiny, go ahead and try! But once you realize the error in your thinking, come back and let a true expert handle things. I will save her...with a Holy Stone..!
Okay...? Now she needs to take a chill pill a little to prove Chihaya on how Keiko does it and since she saved her life from a Shadow already.
Keiko: If you say so...? (She's taking this way too far.)
Chihaya: Well then, are we done here? I'm way too busy for this!
With her getting back to work 'for Chihaya to cool off for a bit', Keiko and Morgana call it a day to go back to Cafe and Leblanc and get some sleep.
Operation Quest - Ending the Boyfriend's Abuse = Target (Yuya Uchimura)
Keiko: Sorry to bother you, Chihaya. (I will prove you wrong however, and I'm not doing this to get you mad.)
Morgana: Well, that was a show, huh? But we can do this.
And they will once those two and the other members from the Phantom Thieves join in to do so in the Mementos world of the Metaverse next to change Yuya's heart, do the same with a few more people, and prove Chihaya's wrong a little once they do. And that will be somewhere tomorrow after school to make a move then.
