Persona 5 Royal: tmdrago Special Edition
By Tayla Drago
Episode #35 - From the Inside and Out of Life
Another one went on pretty well to have a lot more people to hear Yoshi's words to Keiko helping him out, while Morgana sits back to listen to the whole thing; it went pretty well for the same people to call Yoshi from the bad name to try to ignore them.
Yoshi: Everyone! Passing on the societal ills we have created to the next generation...Is not right! It was take time to solve this problem. However, we must start by making small changes!
From Keiko holding up a sign, Morgana listening, some people hear Yoshi's speeches, and it was slowly going well.
Keiko: That went better than the last one was.
Yoshi: Thank you, Keiko. I hope you gleaned something useful today's speech. Regardless of the audience's size, you must convey your thoughts as if you're talking one-on-one. By the way, I forgot to ask you last time we spoke. Why do you want to become a politician?
Keiko: What? Me...? Why do I want to become a politician?
Part about spreading the Phantom Thieves, and the other part of Keiko wants to help out others like Yoshi himself.
Keiko: Well, I want to help you improve in your speeches for others to take you seriously. (Half of it being true on what I'm trying to do.)
Seems about right.
Yoshi: Haha...So you're a pragmatist. Most people nowadays are.
Keiko: They're not?
Yoshi: Of course. But that mentality of taking action is the quality of a good politician. Excuse me, Keiko, but may I ask you one more question?
Keiko: What is it?
Lots to learn about one another here.
Yoshi: What kind of politician do you want to be?
Keiko: One with conviction. (A lot to have others hear for one person to make a better change like Yoshi is. I sense of this man to be a good person after saving his heart from the Shadow.)
True, so true. A lot to have one thing done after another to make Yoshi happy.
Yoshi: Yes, don't ever forget that, Keiko. Although, what's important is what lies within...Allow me to give you some advice. If you aspire to get into politics, you must possess a central philosophy. What is it that you want to accomplish...?
Keiko: To make a different for others. Friends and...for someone I love.
For her to still be doing it so far and still growing.
Yoshi: That is the foundation of a great speech. You'd do well to remember that, Keiko.
Keiko: That was helpful, Yoshi, and thank you.
A lot to learn from one another from a teenager and a adult to be living with normal lives to be good people, and others in the world. And the second ranking to go up for Yoshi as his and Keiko's bounding was growing more and more.
Yoshi: I'm glad. By the way, my philosophy is...Never give up until your voice is heard...! To get your message across be tenacious in conveying your thoughts to the audience.
Keiko: I see...
Yoshi: Also, have a firm point of view, and communicate it clearly-that's the first rule of negotiating.
Keiko: Got it.
A good way to take lessons of good politicians things by heart.
Yoshi: Haha! You have me reliving the fighting spirit I had when I first became a politician.
I guess some people like Yoshi is can be good to have around, even in real life to change something from their speeches.
Keiko: (Yoshida explained the basics of speech giving. I feel like my bond with him is growing deeper...)
A lot to grown more and more, but again someone makes a big deal about it at poor Yoshi to say it to his face.
Anti Yoshi Man: Get the hell outta here, No-Good Tora!
And then he leaves to get to Yoshi really hard.
Yoshi: No-Good Tora...! They're right...I am no good...
Keiko: Oh, Yoshi...
Still, this won't stop this man for working even harder with Keiko's help. Good to know right there.
Yoshi: No worries, Keiko, I can handle people like them. I'll try to.
Keiko: Good to know, Yoshi, you keep it up.
Heading on back home for Keiko and Morgana got ready to go to bed, but before heading in the cafe...Yoshi calls up Keiko to say something to her first.
[Yoshi: Hey, Keiko. I wanted to thank you again for today. I'm sorry you had to see me acting like such a coward. Right after I gave you that self-important lecture, too...But I'm quite a stubborn individual myself. I hope today's incident was at least a good example of what not to do, but...What do you think? Did you take anything useful from it?]
Keiko: It was helpful. Very helpful on what you told me, Yoshi.
[Yoshi: Ah, that's a relief. I have to say, it was almost nostalgic for me...It reminded me of my early days.]
Keiko Good time memories, huh?
[Yoshi: I hope our talks from now on will keep giving you the direction you need. Well, I hope to see you again soon, Keiko. Goodbye.]
A good way to talk to someone before saying good night.
Year – 20xx
Day # 44 – May 5/23rd – Monday
Getting to school on the train for Keiko and Morgana to always do and the Phan-Site ratings were going up to 7 something percent so far, for them to also be seeing Yusuke again on his way to school too. I wonder if he has met with Aika and Hifumi yet? Or at least one of them...
Yusuke: Good morning, Ms. Keiko.
Keiko: And good morning to you too, Yusuke. I see you're heading to Kosei High as well for me to go to Shujin.
Painting quickly of something lovely like to Keiko's surprise for Yusuke to impress Keiko to still fall in love with her. Really...?
Yusuke: My sweet Ms. Keiko. Do not feel so scared. We'll return to the Palace to stop Madarame by taking his Treasure no matter what it takes, for this painting shows so many colors of emotions. My love for you to be there by your side. Just let us know when we're moving out.
Keiko: Ah, right. We just need to get things done before we do anything else.
Yusuke: Ah, a very good idea, Ms. Keiko. We must be prepare for anything when we return.
A good thing to always do before doing anything else.
Keiko: And I will let you guys know soon, better go on the train now. See you later, Yusuke.
Yusuke: Until we meet again-!
Almost hugging Keiko again, Morgana shows off his claws in front of Yusuke to keep his distances away from her.
Morgana: Get going already, dammit!
Yusuke: Ah, right. Please excuse me.
A lot of guys were loving Keiko way too much, huh?
Keiko: This is going to keep on going for me, huh?
Probably...Who knows. With Keiko finishing up school to do well in one of her classes 'with Morgana helping her out', so what's to do next after school's over? Helping out Takuto again to be at the courtyard for him and Keiko to sit down and talk again about helping each other out. On what this time?
Takuto: Well, Amamiya-kun, I just found out how scary cats can be, despite their cuteness...
Well, someone sure didn't like cats at all.
Keiko: You don't like cats, Maruki sir? (Then Morgana better keep his distances away from him.) Where's this coming from anyways?
Takuto: Oh, it happened on my way to school this morning...I spotted a kitten that had gotten itself stuck up in a tree. I tried rescuing it since I felt bad for it, but I ended up with the clawing of a lifetime for the effort. I had no idea a cat's claws were so sharp...
Keiko: I know, right...?
From what Morgana has been doing at Ryuji so far, it must hurt a lot.
Takuto: Speaking from experience, eh? It really does hurt a lot...But I was able to rescue the kitten so it as all still worthwhile. All I really have to do is make sure to put antibiotics on the scratches, anyway. Well, let's move on and talk about a different kind of pain. We discussed this for a bit last time we talk, actually: the pain felt within one's heart. There are all sorts of ways to identify and diagnose physical injuries and illnesses...But when it comes to pains of the heart, we're working in unknown territory. There's so much we haven't learned yet. Treating trauma sure is difficult when it's invisible...If only we could somehow directly reduce emotional pain in a healthy way-like putting antibiotics on a scratch.
Keiko: Is that what you're researching?
Sure seems like it. Takuto is trying his best to make something out of it somehow to finding the answers.
Takuto: Oh, how astute of you! As a matter of fact, you're not too far off the mark. Unfortunate as it may be, we all know there's no topical medicine that can properly heal a heartache. Not only that-psychological issues are even more complex. Here, allow me to demonstrate...
Getting up to act badly to show Keiko on what this guy was trying to do.
Takuto: Oh, Amamiya-kun, woe is me! My hear is in such pain! It's like I'm being pierced through the chest!
Ah, and where was this going again...?
Keiko: Ah, Maruki sir...? (I'm lost right now.)
Takuto: I have such a torturous burning deep inside me!
Keiko: ... (And this is getting us into nowhere.)
Still going to be acting silly now.
Takuto: ...Sorry, that was a poor attempt at acting. Please don't look at me like that...
Keiko: I'm not mad, I'm just confused. Head hurting.
Takuto: My bad. But, uhhh, basically what I'm getting at is, our own emotional pain is the only kind we can fully comprehend. That seems obvious, right? But it's absolutely vital to understand. A person's "heart"-their pain-cannot be seen. Even if they spent their whole live expressing it to others...there is no way for them to truly grasps it. It's not like we can directly look at their hearts and remove the root causes of their pain...But for me to do any good in that area, I need to conduct further research into the heart. More specifically, I need to learn how the heart reacts to the world around it. That's the first stepping stone to a breakthrough in the field. Once that's been figured out, we'll not only comprehend psychological pains that were once unknowable. But we'll even be able to perform more effective treatment for those people with wounded hearts.
Don't we all want to get rid of the problems from within all of us to live normal lives, Takuto does make a very good point about it.
Keiko: That's a grand plan. It would be cool if it did happen, if something like it does exist.
Not to say on the other thing to be made of a few other worlds to exist out there.
Takuto: It's nothing so grandiose. But hey, it we can get rid of people's pain, that'd be for the best, right? I'm no fan of pain, myself. On the other hand, people have laughed off my idea as just a silly, pointless dream...and I can't say I blame them. But still, you take the time to listen to what I have to say, and you actually try to understand...Thanks to you, I can tell I'm actually getting somewhere with my theories...How can I phrase it...I guess I could say you're making this hazy, hard-to-grasp idea finally appear before me? You know, you could very well become a counselor yourself someday.
Ah, who's to say if someone might do so? Without Keiko realizing it.
Keiko: Thanks but I don't know if counseling isn't my thing.
Takuto: Say, would you like to try being my assistant? Of course, I'm on a shoestring budget, so I wouldn't be able to pay you!
A part time job for Keiko to help out Takuto at times...?
Keiko: That sounds fun to do.
Takuto: Ooh, surprisingly eager! Maybe you really WILL become a skilled counselor in the future! Joking aside, I truly am grateful for your assistance. Thank you, Amamiya-kun.
Keiko: I'm glad. (I can sense Maruki's gratitude for me...)
Which leaves up to rank 4 for Takuto to go up, for Keiko to help him out more and more.
Takuto: Let's put a pin in that for today, shall we? I hope you'll lend an ear again when you've got the time to spare. Now! I know you've been waiting for this, so let's get to the mental training.
Keiko: Okay then.
From them to talk to a bit, thanks to Takuto's help for training her mental mind to feel much stronger more and more. And another snack for today for Keiko to bring back.
Takuto: All right, be careful on your way home, Amamiya-kun.
As Keiko and Morgana got back to Cafe Leblanc, to then get a call from Takuto to double check on his student friend of her walking back safely.
Keiko: Hello, Maruki sir?
[Takuto: Hello, Amamiya-kun? Do you have a moment?]
Keiko: I do.
[Takuto: Today got pretty one-sided...I just ended up rambling. This keeps happening. I should've asked this sooner, but...is this leaving you with any mental fatigue? Is your schooled work being affected?]
Keiko: I'm completely fine.
[Takuto: Really? Thank goodness...I was worried. Not every girl wants a middle-aged weirdo rambling to them about a bunch of philosophical abstracts. I know it's asking a lot, but it'd be great if we could keep-...What? Er the station...? Sorry-I think this tourist needs help. I'd better go...Hold on, er...Shinjuku Station? And you...oh, you've got no money, huh...]
Hanging up now.
Morgana: He's one weird doctor.
Yeah, Takuto kind of is...With Keiko cleaning up the cafe for Sojiro to reading 'somewhere of Harajuku in the streets of Takenoko Street' from the magazine of Vague for her to go to later on a book next to pass the time. And also, to play some baseball at the batting cages where Keiko practice her swinging skills while Morgana was watching to also have Hitomi doing the same thing on her end.
Hitomi: Amamiya-chan, care to changeling me?
She was good too for Keiko gives it a try.
Keiko: For me to help you to learn more of the Blood of Oath? Okay then, Hitomi, let's go.
From fast speed, eye contact, quick skills, and such they were both good to then stopping for a drink and reading another part of the chapter to read from the author Atsuko again.
Hitomi: You're not bad.
Keiko: Same here. Now what chapter did we left off last time?
Looking at the pages carefully, Hitomi has found it for her and Keiko to read in chapter two this time.
Hitomi: Ah, I think right here is fine.
Continuing on with the story...
Blood of Oath - Chapter # 2 -
For the day to arrive to be one of the worse days of my life time...A group of Nazis arrived in our house to try taking away me and my family out of nowhere. Why you may ask? because it was during the World War 2 events to take those who are Jewish or those who aren't part of the war to be capture in a terrible type of camp; a very bad camp where those who don't join with Nazi bring doom upon us all. For tormenting all of us like we were sickening text subjects...It just wouldn't end one bit! It was a real nightmare! I thought to never end to last for days, weeks, months, and years! Thought for no help would arrive, but it did to have some women and children like me to get rescued just in time. Somehow, this was far more over than being a prisoner.
Wow, that part of the chapter became much darker for Hitomi and Keiko to read another part of Atsuko S.'s children's novel. And this is for kids how?
Keiko: Is...Is this for real...
Hitomi: I'm afraid it was on whatever happened to Atsuko which she written in this book, must've really happened from back during World War 2. She and her family must've been suffering.
Keiko: She was half American and Japanese?
Seems like some weren't part of the war to be just innocent bystanders only.
Hitomi: If that's true, then it means they weren't part of the Nazi army of Hitler's to fight for freedom. It's more like telling out Atsuko's tragic story than a children's story. I wonder why it's in books stores like this one?
Still remains a mystery to try learning more about it.
Keiko: Another chapter to try to read next time then. (What will this leaves us from this woman's story?)
It was hard to say right now...For Hitomi's Confidant part goes up to three now to rank up more and more later on, for one thing will lead to somewhere for Hitomi to learn more.
Hitomi: That's all I can tell...This story keeps getting darker and darker by the minute. Sorry, Amamiya-chan, but I have to stop here for today and study more.
Keiko: Sure, Hitomi. Just call me again if something comes up and another reading next time.
Hitomi: Right, keep at it please. Reading is always good. As to find something more from the Blood of Oath book. I can feel it.
Keiko: Got it.
Leaving the batting cage for Keiko and Morgana to call it a day, Hitomi was even more curious about the book for Aika to hear so much about it.
Aika: She's starting to notice too?
Hitomi: Sure looks like it Iwamura. It seems the Phantom Thieve needs our help more and more now.
Whatever they have in mind, this should be good. For the two friends walk out of the area to go back home themselves, with Daisuke standing around too...? What's up with that?
Daisuke: …
Does he notice or what?
Year – 20xx
Day # 45 – May 5/24th – Tuesday
Anther day of reading for Keiko and to be class for Kawa to say something to say her students during class time.
Kawa: Okay, let's begin homeroom. First off, something will be happening real soon. As part of a city beautification project, the entire school will be participating in a public cleanup campaign...That means we're going to Inokashira Park to pick up trash.
Not good for others didn't like the idea one bit, but that's teenage life.
Kawa: Settle down. The cleanup will take place next week, on the 30th. All students are to wear their gym uniforms during the event, so don't forget to dress the part.
I guess Keiko and the other students have no other choice. Soon, Keiko and Ann text Ryuji 'since he did it first', to talk about the annoyances to them.
[Ryuji: You guys hear about this cleanup bullshit at Inokashira Park? I guess it's the principal's idea. Damage control after Kamoshida scandal up the school's rep.]
[Ann: Pretty sure "scandal"'s not a verb. But I get what you mean. Even the counseling stuff seems like a desperate move.]
[Keiko: They're scrambling something.]
[Ryuji: All the girls in our class have been freaking out over this new guys, too.]
[Keiko: Maruki sir? He has been helping out a lot of people.]
[Ryuji: Sure glad you're not into him, Keiko. Also, I've been hearing Maruki "hot", "kind", "sensitive"...Basically everyone thinks he's their type.]
[Ann: Whoa. I guess he's pretty popular, then. Oh yeah, did you guys go to his counseling yet?]
[Ryuji: Oh shit. I forgot. But I dunno...I don't really feel like going. You know what I mean, right, Keiko?]
[Keiko: He's a good counselor.]
[Ryuji: Whoa, really?]
[Ann: You should just go already. If your slacking draws attention to us, we're the ones who'll have to pay for it.]
[Ryuji: Fiiiine...]
Taking Ann's advice and playing it safe, Ryuji goes to see Takuto to try out the counsel meeting next with him.
Takuto: Come on in.
Let's hopefully Ryuji does well when talking to Takuto in his counseling.
Ryuji: Wassup.
Takuto: Sakamoto-Kun! Here for a counseling session?
Ryuji: Well...it's not like I wanted to or nothin'.
Just keep playing it cool.
Takuto: Ahaha, sorry you were forced into this. But anyway-come in, come in!
Well, here goes. For Ryuji to sit down and the same with Takuto, to hear what's on this guy's mind.
Ryuji: Sooo...This is pretty awkward.
But this leaves Takuto left confused.
Takuto: Oh? Why's that?
Ryuji: I mean, I don't really go see teachers unless they wanna chew me out for doin' somethin' wrong...
Takuto: Oh, I'm not a teacher here. If anything, well...I'm here to be on the students' side.
Ryuji: Oh, yeah...?
He wasn't a teacher to support the students only for Takuto to do his job.
Ryuji: So...Am I supposes'ta tell ya about Kamoshida now?
Takuto: Oh, no, no-this isn't some kind of interrogation. You're free to just kick back and talk about whatever you want.
Ryuji: Liiike...what?
Needs more explaining for this guy please.
Takuto: Hmm, how about...Is there anyone in your class that you like?
He does to have two girls in mind to have trouble, with one crush a lot without noticing the others.
Ryuji: That's not exactly easy to talk about either-and it's not like there IS anybody...Two girls are my closest friends. One is the one I grew up with, annoying but caring...Cute. And the other I'm in love with, but she loves someone else.
I think Takuto gets the point to not push in any further.
Takuto: Uh-Oh, sorry! I just meant, you're in the middle of your teenage years and all, right? One girl likes you but the other one sees you as a friend only to be taken, right? High schoolers are just discovering romance and all, so...
Ryuji: That how it went for you?
For him to once love is all Takuto does know about his own past.
Takuto: ...No...exactly. But, um, that's just because I fell in love with my studies first! Heheh...
Going weird and awkward again.
Takuto: I'm sorry...I'm supposed to be hearing you out, but instead I'm just bringing down the room. Oh how about this instead-what do you do in your free time, Sakamoto-Kun? On the weekend, after school...
Ryuji: Uhhh, hang out with my buds, the girl I really like, mostly-though I just started doin' that recently. Before that, I was just pissed all the time, and even before that...I was only all about the track team.
A lot has changed for Ryuji, huh?
Takuto: Ah...So...is your leg better now?
Even more like the one he raced against the Shadow to helping out his team.
Ryuji: ...Oh, so you know about that, too. Well, yeah, pretty much-so long as I don't strain it or nothin'.
Takuto: I see...You really do enjoy running, don't you?
Ryuji: Guess so...I mean, after all that trainin' I did, it makes sense I'd like it...I'd be training constantly, getting sweet times at meets along with everyone else...Eventually I was gonna get my hands on some running scholarships to make it easier on my mom...But all of that's in the past now. It's cool, though. I got way more important shit to do now.
Lots of things have changed in a good way.
Takuto: More important, huh? Well, no matter what path you might have to take to get there...I hope your track dreams will still do you some good in the end.
Ryuji: Heh, thanks...
This made Ryuji smile with Takuto said that to him.
Takuto: And, you know what they say, right? If you wish hard enough, your dreams can come true!
And this left down to silliness again.
Ryuji: Huh? You tryin' to sell me some kinda line now?
Takuto: Oh no, this is actually a genuine phenomenon, with a lot of research going into it even now. Look at it this way, Sakamoto-Kun-what do you want more out of life, right now?
Ryuji: Uhhh...I want somethin' to drink, I guess.
Already just thinking about being thirsty, huh?
Takuto: Oho!
Ryuji: Uh, what...?
Wishful thinking was fine to talk about.
Takuto: I lucked into a coupon for a free can of apple juice at the convenience store this morning! And now, I'd like for you to have it.
One pack of juice? Really...?
Ryuji: ...Thanks?
Takuto: See? Your wish came true!
Ryuji: Yeaaah...Hey, Dr. Maru-ah, I mean, Doc. Anyone ever tell you you're kinda...not normal?
A joke or Takuto acting like a clumsy type of kid?
Takuto: You think so? ...Ooh, could that be a compliment, coming from you?
Ryuji: Uhhh, no?
Takuto: O-Oh...
Well, these two have a good long talk from the looks of it Ryuji finds Takuto's job to be fine in his book. And after a fine day at school for Keiko with Morgana go to see Tae to help her out for the rest of the day next; to aid an elder lady to feel a bit better from her illness to heal back up thanks to the medicine on the right one to give to her as Tae and Keiko's team work really helped. From working at her office to notice of the old lady was missing something.
Tae: Oh, that old lady from earlier forgot something...I wonder if she's still outside...
Keiko: What did your patient forget?
Tae: Just an item of hers.
Luckily, Keiko sees some old woman taking her time leaving to catch up to her.
Keiko: Tae, I think the old lady from outside's your clinic is still there. Let's good return it back.
Just in time for Tae and Keiko both go outside of the clinic to give it back to the old woman. For she was very grateful on what they did.
Old Lady: ...Thank you, dear. This is my favorite handkerchief.
So that's what she almost forgotten.
Tae: ...It was right in front of me, so...
Old Lady: Oh my! You're a shy one, aren't you?
Maybe not shy, but Tae's a caring doctor who wants to do her job to helping people.
Tae: I-I'm not shy.
Keiko: (I feel like she's more of a hardcore type of doctor with a change of heart...Thanks to us as the Phantom Thieves.)
Good point there, Keiko, for she and Morgana did save her life from their first Shadow they've stopped.
Old Lady: My neighbor speaks highly of you. She says your medicines are better than those at the big hospitals. It's very reassuring to have such a distinguished doctor right here in town, I'll see you again soon. Good day to you both, ladies.
Leaving to feel happy to have good people like Tae and Keiko, the doctor herself felt embarrassed on what the old woman said to her.
Tae: *sigh* ...What the heck?
Keiko: What? Did something happen, Tae?
Not in a bad way, no.
Tae: ...It's all your fault, Keiko.
Keiko: My fault...?
Tae: There's a lot of talk going around town about me, started by that girl and her dad...Apparently, they're been telling everyone that I can make all these amazing medicines and remedies. So now the number of patients I'm seeing has increased dramatically.
Keiko: But isn't that a good thing?
Yeah, Tae should be pleased now for still doing her job to be good rumors to be spreading around now. Not the bad ones.
Tae: I don't know what some these people are thinking though, I've had a lot of crazy requests. Like, yesterday a patient requested a "sweet-smelling" compress. And the other day, I had a request for a "cold-buster." Ha! A drug like that deserves a Nobel Prize. Other requests have included hair and skin tonics...I even had to do a consultation about a cat...Sheesh. It's not like I'm some kind of genius doctor.
See? All she needed was to talk to Keiko about it to let it out, it wasn't her fault. Oh you, Tae.
Keiko: I see...Well, you are a genius after all.
Tae: Stop that, Keiko...No.
Keiko: It's true.
Tae: This is all interfering with my development. I'm only interested in completing my new drug. That's my role as the Plague. I'm not suited for all this other stuff.
Keiko: You just need to get use to it a bit more. This job suits you, Tae.
And to continue on being the best doctor ever.
Tae: What...?
Keiko: I'm being very serious. I tell the truth, I never lie to anyone I care about... (Besides the Phantom Thief thing only, with many good reasons why.)
Tae: Really, Keiko...? ...Well, you're entitled to your opinion. But a "town doctor," huh...? That sort of lifestyle profession might've been possible for me at one time, but now...
Keiko: Tae?
Just a lot to think about is all, this was normal to be on Tae's mind.
Tae: ...Oh yeah, about those clinical trials...With so many new patients, it's taking longer to analyze the data, so I'll need to catch up. This is a bit on the stronger side, but I'm sure you'll be OK, Keiko. You and me both I guess.
Keiko: You're and will be the best doctor ever and in Yongen-Jaya, Tae. (A lot to show show much Tae has changed to hide it a little, but I know who she truly is deep down. In a good way.)
So it doesn't matter if the father with the little girl of his told everyone about Tae's work, it was a very good thing. A nice thought to show that they call trust to go this this type of doctor. And from aiding the father with his ill little daughter to be tough one to work out in the end for the two, with the Confidant going up to rank six now.
Tae: That was a close one...Still, we pulled it off yet again.
Keiko: I hope I'm doing fine working with you and such, Tae.
Tae: It's nothing, Keiko. And it's not your fault, I say things when I get...A little shy. Somehow your body doesn't hurt you from the medicines you're trying out for me. Without your help to withstand them all...I would've help out everyone else. The little girl's better than ever, and the fine woman never felt younger than she ever was from long ago. I guess my dream of being a doctor is really helping me out.
Keiko: You're good to help out others. You're a good doctor.
That she was for Keiko to see with her own eyes on how good and hard working Tae was.
Tae: Oh, stop Keiko. You're embarrassing me.
Keiko: But I'm serious.
Meaning well for Keiko to be telling the truth 'and she never lies about it', all was well for Tae to feel really happy to hear it from a real person's words.
Tae: Oh, I don't know what to say...Except, thank you, Keiko. Really. I'll keep doing what I still do best. I'll do my best as a doctor and with your help, we can save a lot of people and Miwa-chan the most to be saved.
Keiko: Yes we will, Tae.
Another day of helping out for Keiko and Morgana leave back to the cafe next, with Tae calling her up just in case.
Morgana: I hope the doctor will find something to save this friend of hers.
Another phone call with these two girls.
[Tae: How's my little guinea pig girlfriend doing after the catch-up drug?]
Keiko: Walking and feeling fine to me.
[Tae: I know it was probably a lot to handle. Considering I doubled the dosage and halved the activation time...But we're co close. We're right at the end of all this-I can feel it. I'll need you to stick around just a little bit longer, Keiko. I hope you can handle it.]
Keiko: You can count on me, Tae.
[Tae: Well, aren't you a little cute go-getter. If you're that excited about it, maybe I'll just give you a dose of everything and see how you hold up.]
Keiko: Would a lot kill me?
[Tae: *chuckle* Okay, maybe not to so much on you then. Well, I've got some catching up to do. I have to process today's data as quickly as possible. Make sure to call if you ever feel sick, okay, Keiko? Take care.]
Hanging up now for Keiko helps out Sojiro's cafe to clean up and then read her book.
Morgana: Another day, another good time to be reading.
Keiko: I have to make sure I'm doing something from school, Morgana. It's a teenage life.
Afterwards to calling it a night to do the social statue of Keiko to get better on other things little at a time...
Year – 20xx
Day # 46 – May 5/25th – Wednesday
On Keiko's way to school, as she and Morgana spots Makoto to be taking the same train too and seeing each other again.
Keiko: Makoto.
Makoto: We meet again, Keiko. I guess I remember your name pretty well. Seeing you're on your own for a change? May I ask what's new?
Keiko: Ah... (It's best she doesn't know what me and the others really do.) I'm acting the same as usual is all.
Good answer for Makoto to go along with it.
Makoto: Really? Well, you're not lying to me. So I'll take the answer clearly from your mouth. Anyways, from the culprit to come forward to the police real soon, isn't that right Keiko? Making me do all of the work sometimes isn't a easy task for the real adults to do their jobs better. Sorry, I'm speaking out of my mind again. Now let's get to school, Keiko.
Keiko: Right! (I know Makoto's not a bad person.)
She sense something was up with Makoto already for Morgana to catch on little at a time. Good to know...After school was over, Keiko goes to work at the convenience store in Shibuya – Central Street to earn some money 'and buy some good things for the team'; working hard while Morgana waits around outside of the store for Ann to run into her friend by luck.
Ann: Oh, Keiko. I didn't know you work here! You really look good in pink like strawberries. So, I'll go get something to buy and see you in bit at the ashier.
Keiko: Okay, Ann. Take your time.
As Keiko gets one customer to check out and getting his goods, Ann was next to do the same thing.
Ann: There's a lot of sweets here, so it took me a while to decide what I wanted. Okay, keep up the good work! Byeee.
Keiko: See you later, Ann. Watch on how much you eat now.
All good to call it a night to head back with Morgana.
Morgana: Nice work today, Madame Keiko. And it's always good to see Lady Ann smile.
For Keiko to be getting a text message from Ryuji to meet up with him somewhere at the Tsukishima where they also have restaurant called, the Nostalgic Japanese Flavor.
Keiko: Mr. Sakura! I'm going out for a while to hang out with my friend! I'll be back later to lock up!
Sojiro: Just don't wonder off too far! Have fun!
She and Morgana both go out together at the Tsukishima Monja, for Ryuji was telling them about a teacher they know of to be up to something as he's at the place with a friend right now having some drinks and talking about something. While Ryuji was in the bathroom with his cell phone on...
[Ryuji: Keiko, could ya do me a huge favor and place the phone on the table so I can hear what's goin' on...? Please?]
She does it to act normal to be eating.
Keiko: Okay, but don't talk until I talk to you again, Ryuji. Remain quiet.
And so he does for Keiko to act normal to be listening in and so does Morgana. It was some teacher name Yamauchi to hang out with some friend of his...
Fellow Teacher: Wow, you can really hold your liquor, Yamauchi.
Or not overdo themselves from drinking a lot.
Yamauchi: Mmm, I've had some experience. Back in my college days, we'd rent a yacht for the weekend and have massive parties. I must say though...the sake's been tasting particularly sweet lately.
What does he mean by that?
Fellow Teacher: No surprise there. Things have been much calmer without Kamoshida. Those were some real dark times for Shujin though, huh? But now that he's gone, you finally get the chance you deserve, Yamauchi!
A lot to be going on to moving on since Suguru was arrested.
Yamauchi: Don't flatter me, haha. He had his strengths, sure...but because of him, our volleyball team will be forever scared. The only real option now is to abandon it completely. There has to be a way to bring Shujin back into the limelight though. That's where I come in...
Fellow Teacher: You mean with the track team, right?
This gets Keiko and Ryuji's attentions 'to hear the whole thing on the phone'. Somehow, it doesn't sound so good at all. For what Yamauchi says next is so wrong.
Yamauchi: The student who went through so much hardship under Kamoshida rise again with a caring now advisor...It'll be the rebirth of a team that found themselves in the depths of despair...The public will love it. Despite my lack of track and field knowledge, I'll form a tight bond with the students...I'll be the protagonist of my very own tear-jerker...And of course all the praise for the reviving them will go to me, their incredible, loving advisor. I'll have to hire a great coach if I want to pull this off though.
Seriously? Damn, now that's really cold.
Fellow Teacher: So you're gonna pretend to coach them while someone else does all the legwork? Amazing, Yamauchi!
Yamauchi: Such stunning achievements will look great when it's time to hand out bouses...But I'm not gonna stop there either...I'll publish books, give motivational speeches...What about all the troublemakers on the team? I've heard that Nakaoka kid is especially bad.
Yeah, one of Ryuji's old teammates. What about them?
Yamauchi: Nakaoka...? Oh, you mean the one who asked them to bring the pre-Kamoshida coach back? Don't worry, I've already taken care of him...
This has the fellow teacher get confused on what Yamauchi meant there. I don't like where this is going.
Yamauchi: There's this other boy on the team...Takeishi. Doesn't really excel in much of anything. Well, I said I would make him the new captain if he could get rid of that troublemaker Nakaoka. I might've mentioned something about how Nakaoka was working with Kamoshida too...Subtly, of course.
Fellow Teacher: And? What ended up happening?
Yamauchi: Apparently, Takeishi chased him away...The plan worked perfectly! And the best part is, not only are Takeishi's parents loaded, but his mother's the president of the PTA.
From getting someone to be special and kick someone else out for nothing was a very cheating move to do.
Fellow Teacher: I see...He'd make a great pawn!
Yamauchi: Perhaps, but a nothing like him could never captain a successful championship-winning team. He may have to have an unfortunate "accident" at practice one day. But until then, he can show the others the value of obedience.
Damn! From a teacher to make something bad happen to someone, it'll get worse to try getting away with it.
Fellow Teacher: Hehehe...You're incredible!
Not good at all for Keiko hate Yamauchi already. No kidding! As Ryuji comes out of the bathroom to hear the whole thing too, the most mess up plan ever.
Ryuji: That effin' asshole!
Keiko: I have to agree with you there, Ryuji, this is a problem.
Ryuji: Right? If we don't do something quick, Yamauchi's gonna get rid of Takeishi too...God dammit!
So, what can either of them two do to fix the problem...?
Keiko: Hmm...Should we talk to Takeishi about this?
Seems like a good idea for Keiko to say and Ryuji to be liking the idea.
Ryuji: Yeah. This ain't our problem, it's the track team's. So...they're just gonna have to decide on their own. Y'know, Keiko, track ain't a team sport. At least, sprintin' wasn't.
Keiko: But I thought it was.
There was more to it than that to be a big sport, a lot more.
Ryuji: You've got teammates, sure...but you're really just lookin' out for your own time. That's why I never thought about askin' people for help or tryin' to solve our problems together. But...I can't ignore the stuff they're goin' through now. I mean, even though we had our own goals 'n shit...We were still runnin' together. They suffered with me, gritted their teeth with me...Honestly, I think it was only 'cause of them I was able to run at all. So I can't just go and turn my back on 'em now, right?
Keiko: (Oh, Ryuji...) I know it must've been hard for you, Ryuji, and it's good you did try and still want to differently. And to have friends now, you're not alone anymore and for Ann to be there by your side.
True, so true on what Keiko was saying to Ryuji and what he has been through so much.
Ryuji: Yeah. I know that ain't the coolest thing to say, but it's how I feel.
Keiko: Well, I think it's cool, Ryuji.
That right there, makes Ryuji happy to hear Keiko said that to be in love with her. Enough for him to rub his leg around Keiko's a bit higher to go up.
Ryuji: Huh? ...For real? Thanks, babe!
Keiko: It's nothing...AH!
He has his leg close Keiko's leg to be rubbing it slowly with his foot to enjoy the soft feeling.
Ryuji: So soft...
This makes Keiko stomp on Ryuji's foot to feel the pain, for him to do something like that was a very dumb thing to do.
Morgana: Nice one, Madame Keiko.
Because of this, Morgana just laughs.
Keiko: Ryuji, please! We're friends!
Ryuji: OK, that was worth it to getting hurt...Oh come on, Keiko, we are friends for me to still have feelings for you. And still have even hot feelings for Ann a bit more...
I think Keiko heard Ryuji say he was loving Ann a bit more every day.
Keiko: Huh?
Ryuji: Never mind! Anyways, I'm stravin', are you? Let's eat some monja while we're here. Right now all I've seen of this place is the goddamn toilet!
Keiko: I am hungry, let's eat. (I know that Ryuji will fall for Ann a lot more to be together real soon, it's just a matter of time.)
They enjoy the food 'for Ryuji's Confidant goes up to rank 7' and some good for Morgana to having some, they call it a day to head on home after eating.
Ryuji: Thanks for hanging out with me, Keiko, see you later.
Making a kissing face from his lips, it does make Keiko laugh to say her goodbyes to Ryuji as they take off.
Keiko: Bye, Ryuji.
A nice way to end another day to be for a friend like Ryuji and for Keiko to cheer him up. Not a couple, but they'll love each other as the best friends to stick together...He does call Keiko up to see if she made it back Leblanc safely.
[Ryuji: Good work today, babe! And thanks for stickin' around so late! But goddamn it...Yamauchi! That dick! Just thinkin' about him pisses me off! At this rate, the track tam's screwed. Yamauchi's just gonna take advantage of them! But I also don't wanna make a huge scene. I can't let myself mess up their chance to start the team again. Besides...I doubt those guys are gonna listen to anything I say...]
Keiko: Never know until you try, Ryuji. If you want to, I'll help you out.
[Ryuji: That's true. I gotta have faith in them. Keiko, you do the same for me.]
Keiko: Of course, Ryuji.
[Ryuji: Anyhow, at least we know the truth about him. We just gotta figure out our next move. That bastard Yamauchi, munchin' on monja like he's got us all figured out...He won't get away with this? In any case, thanks again for your help today! You seriously saved me! Bye!]
Keiko: Good night, Ryuji. (Such a weird guy who means well.
Now calling it a night to help out another friend to make Keiko feel better to keep on helping out Ryuji in any way she could.

Day # 47 – May 5/26th – Thursday
From train ride, doing well in Kawa's classroom today for Keiko to answer lots of good questions very well, it was time for her and Morgana to go see how Ann was doing today at the Shibuya – Underground Mall for Ann texts Keiko to meet her somewhere to train 'sort of' while they can hang out at the same time at the place called Inokashira Park where they have the Natural Respite. A nice area for Keiko and Ann to have some girl time to talk and try something to train a little different to be ready to do some more again in the Metaverse.
Ann: What do you think, Keiko? It's nice here to come by just you and me, huh?
A nice park with field, water running, a cool scene to look at, and such to be a nice park to hang out in.
Keiko: You've done well picking a good spot for you and me only, Ann, let's do what we girls can for the team. Us Phantom Thieves can do anything.
Ann: I know! And we will. Having the guys we like and still do our jobs.
Keiko: It'll be a piece of cake. (Good place, Ann, enough to do something for different people by helping out one another.)
Yeah, a very good one that Ann chosen for Keiko, they'll do as much as they can for their training.
Ann: Man, big open places like this are great! I think my training's going to go super good today! So, remember how I said before that I want to strengthen my heart?
They did talk about it since last night.
Keiko: I do, Ann. You got something in mind on how you wanted to train?
Ann: Well, Keiko I came up with a way to do it!
Keiko: I would love to hear what it is.
If anything for these two to hang out for these two, it'll work out better for both Keiko and Ann to get stronger little by little.
Ann: *giggle* I got this! I think having s strong heart means you don't let anything get under your skin. So basically, I want you to say stuff to me, and I'll try not to get fazed by it!
Keiko: What kind of training?
I believe Ann Takamaki can get somewhere with this whole thing. A point out stands for Ann to say what her plans is for her and Ann to do it together.
Ann: We've already started! I won't let that hesitation shake me!
She sounded serious for Keiko believe in Ann, to also...be very confusing a little.
Keiko: If you say so. (I guess I should say something to Ann...)
Ann: C'mon, Keiko, hit me with your best shot!
Keiko: Just don't act like a airhead.
So this was one of the training thing Ann was talking about, a weird thing for Keiko to take a lucky guess on what Ann was doing...Acting like an airhead. Next tone. OK? Just go with it I guess.
Ann: Yeah, yeah, yeah! Nice one! And?
There was more?
Keiko: Ah, OK...You're a...uh...hard worker? (So this is what Ann was talking about. I'll give it a shot.)
Ann: Un-huh, un-huh. What else?
Keiko: Let me see...Ah...Are we done yet.
Oops, looks like Ann smiles to win this game for today.
Ann: You're giving up? That means I win! Wait...is this how the game is supposed to go?
Keiko: Wait...You just realize it now?! Oh, Ann...
Ann: Sorry, Keiko. Oh well. On to round two! Bring it on!
From doing so many random body signs for Keiko to give it her all, in this training of Ann's for her to come up with this.
Keiko: I'll try. Ah, listen to me?
But Ann suddenly stops to find this to be...a bit dumb.
Ann: ...You know...I kinds feel like this won't make our Personas stronger.
Keiko: It's fine, Ann. Let just find some other way to do it.
Thinking really hard to know of Keiko was supporting Ann throughout the strange game of hers.
Ann: Huh, something's not right...
Soon Ann gets an email on her cell phone to check out from her modeling work.
Ann: Oh, sorry. I just got an email from my agency. The next shoot is...really far. Wait, what's it at the end?
Keiko: Your model shooting today?
Ann: Yeah, and...It's a notice saying to pay extra attention to the time and place they tell you. Apparently some models haven't been showing up at all lately. Then when asked why they didn't come, the models all say they heard there was a change in schedule. It sounds like shoots have been real hectic with all the scrambling they've had to do for substitutes.
So a lot don't show up and others try to for models? And sometimes not all to be very smart.
Keiko: Has that happen to you, Ann?
Not for Ann to always make it to her days to model.
Ann: No, I haven't missed a single shoot so far. It probably really confuses the staff see a sub showing up too. Hopefully it doesn't happen to me...Though actually, my first modeling gig was as a sub. That was back when I was still in Finland. My parents didn't have enough models for their event.
Keiko: You did one in Finland too? You must've been a lot of countries.
Seems like it, for Ann didn't tell Keiko about the rest of her model shooting places she has went to.
Ann: Oh, haven't I told you, Keiko? My parents are both fashion designers who put on some seriously extravagant shows.
Also those things for Ann's parents do that for their live time.
Keiko: That's really cool. Must be a lot of work.
Ann: Yeah, but you get use to it growing up. They jump from country to country, so I only really see them for half of the year...Maybe less these days.
A lot to happen for Ann barely sees her mother and father. Keiko wishes to have a good parents like her to spend a lot with, but she has things on her mind much differently.
Keiko: (Parents, huh?) But, Ann. You find being alone? At times, sure. Freedom is fine to relax with them leaving for a while.
Ann: Yeah, I guess I can afford to be pretty relaxed these days. Plus it would probably be tough being a phantom thief with my parents around, don't you think?
Oh...Good point there, for their safety too.
Keiko: I guess it is best to be safe than sorry.
Ann: I know, right? It was rough when I was little though...It as just me and our live-in caretaker. I didn't really have any friends...Wow, that got dark fast...! Ahaha...Honestly, when I'm modeling...it almost feels like I'm connecting with my parents somehow. It's a nice hobby to have...but I don't think I'd want to make a living out of it. After all, that's where Kamoshida first spotted me...and that's how our class started those rumors...Besides, the Phantom Thieves are more important to me right now. Nobody can be my substitute there...That's why I need to get stronger!
True, all this for Ann wants to do it. For Keiko to learn a lot more about her friend to help her out for Ann has cool fire power skills.
Keiko: Then let's do our best together. (I sense a lot of things within Ann's heart. She changed so much, so much to be the best in the Phantom Thieves group.)
So much so for girls can fight back with everything they got, of the Confidant ranking up to three for Ann's bonding with Keiko was growing more and more. And both Keiko and Ann will find something else to train a whole lot more again later.
Ann: Thanks for hearing me out, Keiko, you're a very good friend.
Keiko: Same here, Ann, you are too.
Ann: When I was little, I used to watch this anime where the main villain was this female thief. She'd lose to the hero every time, but always thought she was cool. She wasn't really a "good" person per se...But she was beautiful, strong, sincere, and even sexy. She always said whatever she wanted, did whatever she wanted...She knew what justice was for her. I...wanted to grow up to be just like her someday.
A lot of cartoon and Anime reference there, huh?
Keiko: Really...? Either you're talking about Catwoman from the Batman comic books or Fujiko Mine from Lupin the 3rd Anime series.
Either way, it was worth hearing on what Ann was talking abut.
Ann: Maybe I am talking about one of the two. I hope I'm getting closer now, if only just a little bit.
A lot to be covered for today to call it a day, another time for them to train together again.
Keiko: I think you are, Ann. We'll do more again later. Let's go home. Bye.
Ann: Well, see you later, Keiko.
For Keiko gets a call from Ann to see how her friend was doing on her way back to Leblanc...
Morgana: Oh, Lady Ann...
With Morgana still in love with Ann to not get him at all.
Keiko: You forgotten something, Ann?
[Ann: Heeey Keiko, it's me. And it's nothing, I just wanted to thank you for coming with me today! Also after we met up, I tried doing some runaway walks on the way home. Like how a cool, sexy woman would talk. Besides you too. Then some girl who was watching me nearby started to copy me and runway-walked with me! She had to have seen me, right? Do you think she thought I was cool...?]
Keiko: Could be. If you want to put it that way I guess.
[Ann: *giggle* It's almost enough to make me blush, kind of. To be honest, I feel kinda bad for her. She has no idea that the real me is a human disaster.]
Keiko: Maybe so.
[Ann: Mmm...I guess I still got a long way to go. But I'm not giving up. I made a decision that I'm going to get stronger, so I need to overcome any obstacles! Thanks for hearing me out! Okay, bye Keiko!]
Going back inside of Cafe Leblanc for Keiko helps out for Sojiro and Morgana to watch on her other crossword puzzle for today; same with playing a TV game show on her cell phone and reading her book. Keiko helps out one person to be sitting down on the streets from doing his night shifts as Keiko was taking out the trash 'and closing up the cafe for today'.
Keiko: All done.
Morgana: Hey, Keiko. Careful. There's a bum right next to you.
Moving out of the way to be a student male who's a bit older than Keiko a few years to not be a bum, he was just working hard to be Ren Tsuba a few years later...With spiky blond hair, blue eyes, with a business suit, blue shirt with a black suit, only to have fancy sneakers, a red tie, and some ear piercing to look good and working hard as Ren was relaxing outside on a nice night like this.
Keiko: Sorry.
Tsuba: Huh? Oh, no. I'm the one who should be sorry.
Yawning a lot for this guy needs some sleep.
Keiko Umm...You live in the backstreets of Yongen-Jaya?
Tsuba: Oh, no. I just relax here. I'm a very busy man on Scientology ever since I was only a teenager. What years to go by so fast to still work on something on so many new discoveries.
Keiko: You do work hard.
Seeing where Keiko was living and work at for Tsuba to take a lucky guess.
Tsuba: So, Cafe Leblanc is where you live and work at?
Keiko: Ah, just part time. But I do live here on certain needs.
Keeping her secrets aside, Tsuba looks at his watch to be late for something to finish up work and leaving the are right away to be meeting up with a certain someone.
Tsuba: Anyways, young lady, take care. I need to get going. Lots of paper work to get and finish up working. I hope I can come by to have some coffee later on. I'm Ren Tsuba by the way.
Keiko: Hi, Tsuba. I'm Keiko Amamiya. Good to meet you to not see you're not a bum.
Shaking on it, Tsuba seems to have a place to live and work at to Keiko and Morgana's surprise.
Tsuba: I'm glad I'm not. Hahaha...Not a good life for me. Good bye for now, Keiko.
Keiko: See you next time then, Tsuba. (He's...a hard working person with an odd personality.)
Morgana: He sure was weird. Well, it's time to go to sleep.
People are people on what Keiko has been meeting with so far, for Tsuba walks down the streets of the area for him and his cousin Kiwa Tsuba from Keiko's high school for them to be working on something big. Wow! Who would've known their were related.
Kiwa: Hey, Ren, you almost had me worried.
Tsuba: Sorry, Cousin. But guess what...? I got something big for us and the others to hear all about it. You want in?
Kiwa: If it'll allow for me to see her again, then okay. Tell me everything.
Hmm...They must be working on something big year late for Ren, Kiwa, Daisuke, Aika, Hitomi, and a few other people, but on what? They look the same to do different things, but were their true goal to still continue on or what?
Year – 20xx
Day # 48 – May 5/27th – Friday
On Keiko's way to school worth Morgana tagging along, Yusuke was happy to see her all the time to painting her a lot.
Yusuke: Good morning, Ms. Keiko.
Keiko: Morning, Yusuke.
Better to keep his distances away from Keiko if Yusuke knows what's good to him with Morgana around.
Morgana: Watch it-!
But Yusuke offers Morgana some suichi.
Yusuke: Calm down, Morgana, I'm a gentleman towards the woman I truly care for.
Someone was sure loving his food.
Morgana: Mm...Mmm! So good fish! *munch* *munch*
Keiko: He sure loves fish.
With Morgana eating, Yusuke makes his move on Keiko again 'or tries to'.
Yusuke: With Morgana enjoying his fine looking meals, we finally have some alone time together before we head our separate ways.
Keiko: Ah... (Not again.) If you're making me model nude for you, then forget it.
Yusuke: I would paint something worth lovely than you to bare it all in front of the world. Never to you...
Trying to kiss Keiko, she moves aside to be fast from it.
Keiko: Yusuke, come on. Look, be ready to head back to the Palace. The day is almost here. Got to go to school no, bye. Come on, Morgana.
Finish up eating just in time.
Morgana: No running while eating!
To almost dropping his food, Yusuke stares from Keiko to live a normal life.
Yusuke: No matter how much you try pushing me away, Ms. Keiko, I'll never stop loving you more and more.
Oh, brother...! She's with Akechi already! Once school was over for Keiko to do something next for Morgana to follow her 'as always'. Soon enough to be heading back to see Tae to help her out once again at her clinic.
Tae: ...All right, that's it for today.
Keiko: Another testing medicines for me to still be finished and went pretty well.
Tae: Oh, are you going home already?
Seems like it. Why? Does Tae have something else on her mind?
Keiko: Do you need something else from me, Tae?
Tae: If you have some time, why don't you stay and enjoy an apple? It's a gift from one of my elderly patient. She gave me a lot...
So it would seem.
Keiko: Thanks, I'll have one.
From texting out new medicines to work well and differently for Keiko to be afterwards for Tae to check on her; that's when a chief name Oyamada to have a word with Tae about something to have trouble to allow Tae for making handmade medicines to be unsafe. Not good...!
Oyamada: ...Hello, Dr. Takemi...
And that's when Oyamada enters in Tae's clinic to see her, and first time Keiko seeing this man she heard so much about.
Tae: ...Chief Oyamada.
Keiko: Oyamada...
Things were going from bad to worse between these two.
Oyamada: There was a medical conference nearby, so I thought I'd check up on you.
He then sees Keiko to be with Tae today.
Keiko: ... (This is not going so well.)
Oyamada: Who's this? She doesn't look like a patient.
Come on, Tae, say something to tell Oyamada to mind his own business.
Tae: Keiko Amamiya's a part-time staffer. I'm having her handle some miscellaneous tasks for me. So, do you have some business with me?
Things do go from bad to worse next on what Oyamada has to say to poor Tae to lose her job again.
Oyamada: ...I hear you stole one of my patients. A girl with bronchitis. She came here with her father...
The one who felt the pain in her stomach.
Tae: ...Bronchitis, you say? Well, I had no intention of taking her from you. I certainly didn't encourage her to visit my clinic.
Oyamada: Now there's talk that the care at a university hospital is inferior to that of a general practitioner! "Original medicine." Ha! What you're doing here is simply absurd!
So rude! This has Tae to feel down in the dumps on what this jerk just said to her.
Tae: You're right...
Oyamada: I would've turned a blind eye if you had just rotted away out here in this little town...But this is your final warning. Shut this place down and resign your medical license.
Tae: ...
Feeling like she might lose her doctor's license, Keiko stands up for Tae to say something to this person.
Keiko: Stop! Tae's a good doctor! What you're doing to her is harassment, forcing Tae to lose her job, and such...
Oyamada: ...What did you say?
Keiko: You heard me, Oyamada! Cup the crap! (And he calls himself the chief of the hospital.)
This makes Tae feel better to have a high school student to be defending her.
Tae: Heh...Oh, Keiko, I'm fine...Don't worry about it, but thank you.
For the man didn't care to not be stopped, to also bring Tae the bad news about one patient was killed, to be sad to put the doctor to be horrified and shock about it, and Keiko felt bad for her.
Oyamada: Hmph, you seem to be quite fond of her work. Perhaps I should reveal this woman's true identity.
Keiko: Come again?
This was really bad...!
Oyamada: She's a monster who tortured a patient with her unregulated medicine! Terrible, isn't it? She was such a brave girl, always smiling...
For Tae to be hearing this as big news to her.
Tae: ... "Was?" What do you mean?
Oyamada: She passed away.
Tae: What...?!
Keiko: No way...!
But was it all true?
Oyamada: Perhaps you'll suffer the same fate, hm? Hahaha...She is the Plague, after all.
This gets Tae to feel really mad to go up to Oyamada's face.
Tae: Don't lie to me...! She should still have some time! She was slowly recovering...Her condition couldn't have deteriorated that quickly!
Oyamada: But it did. You must've misjudged. Now, back to reason why I'm here. Don't ever take another patient away from me again...You don't want to make me angry.
This makes Tae sad to fall down to her knees in sadness as Oyamada just walks away after their talk. It wasn't anything bad to just happened to have nothing to do with Tae's medicine making, none of it.
Tae: Miwa-Chan's...Dead...? Curing her was the only...There's no way...
Keiko: (It just happened from her age is all, I just know it.) Tae, please don't give up. Don't lose hope.
Hearing Keiko defending Tae again, she sees that it just happened and nothing else.
Tae: ….I know, but-!
Keiko: Is there anything I can do for you? May be I can while you go and rest.
This seems to make this doctor's spirit to cheer her up.
Tae: … Yeah, you're right, Keiko. I feel better now.
Good to know for Tae won't give up her dreams.
Keiko: There we go, see? Sadly, maybe Miwa pass on from her old age is all, it has nothing to do with you. (I sense these types of things to leave it be, I think Oyamada was lying to her about Miwa-chan suddenly passing away. And it also feel like my bond with Tae is growing even deeper.)
A good friendship of Tae and Keiko was growing stronger for a doctor and young teenager teaming up 'with her ranking Confidant levels going up to seven now'.
Tae: I wish I didn't show that side of me...Oh, well...It's still good to get it out. Keiko, thanks again. You can go home now. See you next time and thanks again for cheering me up.
Keiko leaves with Morgana tagging along to call it a day from Tae's clinic.
Keiko: It'll all work out, Tae, and you take care too.
Sad news and a troublesome man, for Keiko tries cheering Tae up to buying some things before leaving the clinic with Morgana. They both hope for Tae to pull through this mess besides buying some things from time to time...Soon to be gong out for a bit or another date with Keiko and Akechi to enjoy a nice drink while waling around Shibuya Central Street, a nice night to have clear skies to see the stars above them.
Akechi: Finally, we get the night all to ourselves going on dates like this. I find this to be romantic.
Wrapping his arms around Keiko to love the feeling from her boyfriend very much.
Keiko: Thanks, Akechi-Cun. I needed this from you today.
Akechi: Very clingy today. Something must be on my little's Princess's mind. I wonder what could it be?
Placing his drink near Keiko's face to feel cold and make her jump by surprise.
Keiko: Hey!
Akechi: Hahaha...Sorry, just making sure you're still awake.
Keiko: I guess that's fine. (Nice way to make sure I'm fine at least...) It as nothing to do with my guy friends trying to hit on me.
Akechi: I know, but something else is. Maybe I can help.
So Akechi had to ask what was on Keiko's mind.
Akechi: So, what are you thinking about right now?
Keiko: A lot of things really...I meant a lot of people I'm helping out with some friends too. Even two other high school girls are born with a special gift like I am. It's weird to feel things out to feel not real. I don't know. It's sounds weird. I just part of me can help them out and the other makes me a bit worried about if I'm unable to do it. I know how you are in your detective work, Akechi-Cun, but for me in my school life is much more different.
So much in Keiko's life to deal with but she wants to help others out 'and for some to be trapped' as Akechi had to deal with the same thing in his detective work.
Akechi: Saving people...I can't say I blame you, Princess. In fact I want to save as many people as I can.
Keiko: You too? It must be hard being a detective.
Akechi: Eh, I've been through worse to help out others. I'm like by all to be so popular. And some people just don't. So I try to save or help out always push me back. Not that I didn't do anything wrong.
Nothing to worry about at all.
Keiko: I wouldn't blame you if you did.
Akechi: Right. What I'm trying to say is...Ah, how do I put it in words.
Keiko: You just do you best to be who you are and not take any credit for it?
Well, that's one way to put it in words. For the old saying goes – 'take credit where credit is do'. Something like that.
Akechi: Yeah! That's it. In other words...There's nothing to worry about.
Trying to pull in Keiko to hug he a lot more, to make her laugh.
Keiko: Ah! Akechi-Cun! Stop!
Akechi: See? It's better to see you smile than get you upset. I'm smiling too.
Laughing together to then chasing each other at the park for Akechi to chase after Keiko to be fast and enjoying a fun time even more around the grassy fields. Soon to be falling down once Akechi comes up from behind Keiko to fall down on the grass to roll down a bit to holding each other near the lake side to soon turn into, a romantic scene of them making out on the ground.
Keiko: Sorry.
Akechi: Don't be.
Soon to be kissing to not let go or stare at each other once.
Akechi: I love you so much. Keiko, you mean so much to me.
Keiko: I love you too, Akechi. You're my everything. And for us to be making out like.
Akechi: My bad. Looks like we both need another shower when we get back, don't we.
Keiko: Heh. You're so funny.
Laughing to be kissing some more for Akechi lifts Keiko back up to continue their stroll in Shibuya again before calling it a night.
Akechi: From our love...I want for us to always remember these moments. I hope the next one, we'll have lots of fun.
Keiko: Yes, I'll like that very much. (From the moment of us making out, I never felt so much passion from this man who gets me and who I am. It doesn't matter because he came into my life and saved me.)
Akechi: The night is still young, let's walk around some more. (No matter what happens, I'll always be there by your side. My Princess.)
Holding hands next while walking around Shibuya some more, Keiko and Akechi will remember this night and other times to be dating to make them all count. They're a perfect couple aren't they? For the others days to do something next before returning to Madarame Shadow's Museum Palace in a bit, there's another school life to do and others to help out as well. More next time. Liking my Royal special edition so far? It's getting better!
