Year – 20xx
Day # 49 – May 5/28th – Saturday
Keiko and Morgana headed to school on a train for them to read something together once again. Going to the library again to return some of the other ones that Keiko has read to get another one for her to study on it, with Morgana helping her out to write some things down to do other things to learn about too.
Morgana: You're getting better at studying very hard, Madame Keiko. Well done.
Afterwards, Keiko goes see Ann again to do some more of their free time and such together at the park.
Ann: Oh, look at those ducks over there! They must be a family!
A nice view from the lake to see a family of ducks. Cute!
Keiko: You're right, Ann, it's nice to see.
Morgana: Not as nice as Lady Ann is...
I don't think she heard what Morgana said to her 'again'.
Ann: This place seriously feels amazing. It's not even that far from Shibuya, but it feels so different here.
Keiko: It does, doesn't it? I don't know why, but it feel nice being here.
Sitting down to talk to each other next.
Ann: You know, Keiko, Tokyo is so strange. There are tons of people and tons of stores, yet there are still duck-filled parks here too. It has everything...but it feels like I can't understand any of it. It's honestly kinda scary.
Some parts are well, while others in Japan is something else.
Keiko: I know what you mean. Just staying here for a whole year is something else for me.
Ann: Oh, right. You only just moved here, Keiko. When I first got here, I had a super tough time adjusting. It's so crowded, and everyone walks really fast...almost like they're angry or something. Even at school, I was only ever the "foreigner." Nobody really knew me; they just spread rumors. I thought maybe my looks were the problem. I even considered dyeing my hair back to match everyone else...But that was when Shiho talked to me. Te first thing she said was, "Takamaki-san, your paintings suck."
Like Ann to have trouble fitting in 'at first', she is a lot like Keiko is and the same can be said about Shiho. All three of them are the same.
Keiko: (Who knew Ann and Shiho are a lot like I am.) Saying about your painting must've been funny.
Ann: Yeah, you're right. I thought she was just making fun of me like everyone else, but that wasn't her intention. According to her, they were so bad that she just HAD to tell me. Pretty mean, huh?
Well, not if someone you care about means good and not bad.
Keiko: Maybe a little.
Ann: Still, that was the first time someone here talked to me without mentioning my looks. We sorta just grew closer after that...and Shiho's been my best friend ever since. That's not why we're here thought! There's something else I need to talk to you about!
Another thing to talk about with Keiko besides her and Ann training at the park? Like what...?
Keiko: Really? What's on your mind, Ann?
Ann: Do you remember what I told you the last time we came here? About that female thief in the Anime I used to watch? Well, I thought of something!
From the Lupin the 3rd Anime thing with Fujiko Mine, right...?
Keiko: From the Lupin Anime, yes I remember. What about it? Please tell me.
Ann: *giggle* It's gonna knock your socks off! You know how the villains in those shows are always going on about world domination? Well, even though they get beaten by the heroes every time, they never give up. That means they must have really solid hearts...And that's why I'm gong to try and learn from them!
Keiko: Yeah...Good idea.
Sounds like a very good plan there.
Ann: Right? So I've decided...
Getting up to sound and look happy about doing it, Ann really wants to do in between modeling for Keiko hear the good news.
Ann: I'm gonna star in action movies!
Keiko: An actor of action movies to start in? Cool! Good luck with that, Ann. Really.
A dream to not give up, to just do it.
Ann: Thanks, Keiko! Your support really helps!
A nice thought to make sure it does happen.
Keiko: Don't mention it. (An odd excited way...She still means well, that's Ann for you.)
Ann: All right, I'm making this my ultimate goal for the future. You know, I've never really thought much about what I wanted to do in life...but now I have an objective! And that only happened because of talking to you, Keiko! Thanks a bunch! You're a true friend!
Keiko: You are too, Ann. (I sense a heightened motivation from Ann...She is my best friend and the first girl to have on the team.)
A lot to do before Ann could reach to her goal 'and ranking Confidant number 4 is up now', but it'll work out somehow is she keeps on modeling to reach there and finishing up high school.
Ann: Well, if I want to be in action movies, I'll need to work on my actions! I wonder how many sit-ups I'll have to do...Wait, Ryuji said he knows a good gym! I should ask him for advice! Oh, and I need to tell Shiho that I have a new goal! She'll definitely be happy to hear that! Hey, let's do some jogging at the train station later, and on other times.
Keiko: Ah...We'll do it, Ann, just maybe tomorrow.
For them to talk about boys like Ann liking Ryuji a lot and Keiko liking Akechi so much to not hide anything for their lovers to have their love grow stronger, more and more.
Ann: So, Keiko...I hope to see your boyfriend of this Akechi real soon in person...
Keiko: Ann! I know, and you'll like him a lot.
Ann: Maybe Yusuke and Ryuji will stop hitting on you so much when they see your boyfriend and that he's a good person he really is.
To be the day to happen, Keiko hopes so too.
Keiko: That'll be the day that'll happen to still be friends with them only...Anyways, Ann, did you tell Ryuji on how you really feel about him?
Nothing yet...
Ann: No, but I'm trying to get him to notice me. It's working so far to slowly fall for me. Ryuji will admit it soon enough.
Keiko: Are you sure?
Ann: Yeah. I like to take a relationship very slowly to get it done, I don't like to be the kind of person who rushes into things so much...And with that, I also want to do my hardest to become a famous movie start from the modeling I'm doing. In fact...I want to make it my goal to stick to it!
For Ann Takamaki trying to be a model to a movie star someday...? She was serious about her dreams. I hope she'll stay on the path to make all of her dreams to come true, little at a time that is.
Keiko: If that's the case for your dreams and Ryuji to fall in love with you, then keep it up, Ann. I'm here to support you all the way through this!
Ann: I will, Keiko, thanks!
A good way to have friends talk about things for all of it to take time to work out.
Keiko: (I'm glad I saved Ann from Kamoshida to change so much. She's such a good friend.)
For them to call it day for Ann to tell Shiho the good news on what she'll be doing, Keiko and Morgana headed back at Leblanc, Ann calls her friend up to see if Keiko got back fine.
Morgana: Hey, Madame Keiko! Tell Lady Ann I said hi!
I don't think that's happening anytime soon.
[Ann: Hiii, Keiko. It's me. You good to talk right now?]
Keiko: I am. What's up, Ann?
[Ann: So I'd like to think I'm pretty athletic. Like, I don't hate exercise or anything...But I'm exhausted just from running to station earlier...Maybe I've gotta train my body along with my heart. Do you do anything to train your body?]
Keiko: I eat well and work you besides Mementos and Palaces in the Metaverse. Also, I carry Morgana in my bag.
He thought this has Ann be thinking about Morgana for love.
Morgana: Ah...
But not really...
[Ann: That's part of your training?! But I guess that's kind of amazing...I mean, you never seem to struggle with it, Keiko, I'm surprised...I wonder how much Mona weighs. Maybe I'll try carrying him in my bag next time.]
Keiko: If you want to. (And for Morgana to be in love with Ann to like that very much.)
[Ann: Okay, first I need to research what king of training's best for me! For now, I'll just do some curls with a water bottle. I already drank it halfway, but...better than nothing, right? Well Keiko, see you later!]
Keiko: Bye Ann.
Hanging up for Morgana to say bye to Ann too.
Morgana: Talk to you later, Lady Ann. Bye! I love love!
Keiko: Morgana, you know you two are just friends, right?
Morgana: ...It's not because I look like a cat, okay? Let me have my moments.
Good friends...Then later Keiko aided Sojiro once again from coffee making and some other food after cleaning up the place first. Then later – Morgana and Keiko go to the movies together to hang out for the night to be worth watching.
Keiko: How weird they come up with these ideas, huh?
Morgana: You're telling me, Madame Keiko, but it was still worth going to today.
Heading back home to call it a night now for Keiko showers up before going to bed, for her to be singing that song again.
Keiko 'singing': Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
She once was a true love of mine
Tell her to make me a cambric shirt (in the deep forest green)
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme
(Tracing of sparrow on snow-crested ground)
Without no seams nor needle work
(Bedclothes the child of the mountain)
Then she'll be a true love of mine
(Sleeps unaware of the clarion call)
Tell her to find me an acre of land
(A sprinkling of leaves)
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
(Washes the grave with silvery tears)
Between the salt water and the sea strands
(And polishes a gun)
Then she'll be a true love of mine
Tell her to reap it with a sickle of leather
(Blazing in scarlet battalions)
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme
(Generals order their soldiers to kill)
And gather it all in a bunch of heather
(A cause they've long ago forgotten)
Then she'll be a true love of mine
Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
She once was a true love of mine
For Morgana to sense something to see a woman in white again from a strange image from the bed room.
Morgana: ….! What the-?!
Same with Keiko to see this girl again, along with a small creature made of snow to almost walk up to her.
Keiko: Ah! It's her again with a friend.
And that's not the only thing – same with a woman with red hair to be staring at Keiko to look sad and familiar to her.
?: Help me-!
But it goes away in seconds. What was that all about from those three things? All gone next which it has something to Keiko's singing.
Keiko: (This is twice this happening. First a woman in white, but with a friend and a girl with red hair. What do they all mean?)
A lot to be discovered soon enough for Morgana to notice besides Keiko, same with Akechi a little bit too for he's born with strange powers like Keiko has.
Akechi: (What was that I just felt...? One of them was Princess's singing voice.)
From there to also have Aika and Hitomi in the area too, and from afar as Cait Sith felt it all to give his two new friends the sign.
Sith: Hey, pals. I think we got their attention. Now let's see what plays out for them next to do whatever you both want.
I hope we find out what's going on soon enough.
Year – 20xx
Day # 50 – May 5/29th – Sunday
The next day was a day off for Keiko and Morgana to try out the drinks and go to the Diner to eat, drink, and sometimes study there to be nice in Shibuya -Central Street area.
Morgana: Mmm...Food's good here.
Keiko: And some nice drinks to have here too. (Should I tell Morgana about last night...) Listen Morgana, if you felt something the other night, then-
Morgana: I know. You've been seeing something in the Metaverse to be left unknown huh? More than just one living being but a few more?
He seems to know what was out there from before.
Keiko: Ah, yeah. How do you know?
Morgana: I how a stronger power to know these things way before hand. There was a woman in white, with a living creature made up snow, correct? Than another one being a girl with long red hair. We better tell the others about it in case it appears again. But I must say, you do have a strong singing voice.
Keiko: Thanks. (Well, that's only because it's the good part of my memory with my family. But now it just a thing with them...)
Someone doesn't want to talk about her own parents, huh? Something was bothering Keiko about it. As for the other three things to keep in mind, they will do so...Keiko helps him out to get more people, all was good for Yoshi to see someone who was familiar to him name Councilman Matsushita. From giving out the speeches for Yoshi as Keiko was holding up the sign for him again.
Yoshi: Everyone! That you possess free will does not mean that you can always do as you please. To make your decisions based simply on loss and gain is to act like a heartless machine. The reasons so few people care about their fellow man is because as few have the energy to do so. We politicians have fallen short of our goal to change society. We need your support more than ever!
Not bad to be doing so much work, as someone in a suit speaks up to say something to Yoshi next during his speeches.
Man in a Suit: That approach isn't going to work! You have to get the voters more excited! You're going to completely lose the hearts and minds of the people.
Continuing on with Yoshi's speeches.
Yoshi: Again, what I'd like to say is-
He then stops to see and who sounded familiar to Yoshi to show up at a time like this.
Keiko: What's up, Yoshi? (He looks like he knows this man.)
Yoshi: Councilman Matsushita!
Showing up to ending his speeches for today.
Man in a Suit: It's been so long since we last spoke. I wanted to stop by to see how you were doing.
A Diet member thing as he and Yoshi with Keiko 'and Morgana in her bag' go talk behind the train thing to see how each of them were doing.
Keiko: Hello, sir. I'm Yoshi's assassinate, Keiko Amamiya.
Matsushita: Oh, you have a high schooler volunteering for you, huh? My, times have changed. Do you know about the Kuramoto Children?
From adults and teens can work hard together like this type of thing to be doing.
Keiko: No, I haven't really.
This has Matsushita laughing for Keiko to learn so much.
Matsushita: Haha! Well, at least you're honest, young lady. I was a member of the Kuramoto Childrenas well. Yoshida and I joined the same year. I made an amazing career change, going from a pro wrestler to a Diet member. I was elected easily, but I had no idea what I was doing. I realized I wasn't elected on my own merit when I failed to be re-elected for a second term. That was true for the both of us.
There was a lot that happened between Yoshi and Matsushita to have things change a lot, from better to worse. And for this guy, he turn out just fine from his story.
Yoshi: You made a great comeback, though. You're truly an inspiration.
And they get along so well for Keiko to see up close.
Matsushita: Are are you, old friend. You're working harder than anyone on the campaign trail.
Not to Yoshi to live with it like nothing has changed at all.
Yoshi: Oh, there's no need for false praise to impress Keiko here.
Keiko: Well, I do work hard.
That she does to love helping out others like Yoshi and her other friends 'for those she's making so far'.
Matsushita: Yoshida's well-informed about the inner working of politics, so I'm sure he'll be a great teacher. However, I suggest you only do as he says and not as he does, if you want to become a Diet member.
Yoshi: ...And what might that mean?
Oh, boy. Something else for Keiko doesn't know about these two guys yet.
Matsushita: I'm guessing she doesn't know...? You really think you can win the election by being completely honest and making good arguments? You've got to secure votes! Or else you'll be forever known as No-Good Tora!
Not this nickname again. So Yoshi made some mistakes three times in the past, but he's really changing.
Yoshi: Without honestly and good arguments, there can be no political justice!
Matsushita: Heh...It's been a while since I've heard one of your grandiose speeches.
This has Yoshi laughing about his past to be silly now, for Matsushita made a good point.
Keiko: I see... (A lot to learn to have a helping hand.)
Matsushita: Amamiya-san, was it?
Keiko: Yes?
Matsushita: Tell me, what about Yoshida here drew you in?
Well, Keiko had to say something to be true.
Keiko: From his amazing speeches. No one like hearing Yoshi for who which I nickname him, I just like to help out to felt Yoshi to be a good person.
True, so true for Keiko and Morgana did to also change Yoshi' heart from the Shadow.
Yoshi: Keiko...
This makes Yoshi happy on what Keiko was saying.
Matsushita: Well...that's quite impressive. You just may have the potential to become a Diet member. You address matters quite directly for a young woman. It seems you have been taught well.
Keiko has learned a lot to aid Yoshi so far.
Yoshi: I intend to teach her everything I know. That's what we agreed on.
A lot to learn about to slowly happen for these two.
Keiko: That we do. (I feel like my bond with Yoshi is growing deeper...)
From Yoshi's Confidant ranking going up to three now for his and Keiko's bonding. It seems for this man and Yoshi talked to be very good to each other like old friends to be talking after the speech was done for Keiko to be tagging along. Talking about the Yoshida's Children to change their lives to help them out in the Diet member to follow their dreams like pro-wrestling and such; from things to change and try to make a difference for the two to help out others to be so much – and a lot to spread the word for Keiko to see how good Matsushita was to Yoshi.
Matsushita: By the way, how are things between you and old man Kuramoto?
Yoshi: We're still not on speaking terms.
Seems like someone name Kuramoto and Yoshi had a bit of a falling out for some strange reason.
Matsushita: There's something I'd like to get your opinion on, so I'll be in touch.
Yoshi: Very well.
But before Matsushita leaves, he had another thing to say to Yoshi.
Matsushita: ...Oh, that reminds me. You may still distrust me because of what happened with the missing party funds...But I'm not the one who pointed the finger at you. That's all I'm going to say.
And then he just left to had Yoshi feeling a bit upset.
Yoshi: Why did he have to mention that...?
Keiko: What? What did Matsushita said to you, Yoshi? I hope it's nothing bad.
Yoshi: Ah, my apologies. That's all for today. Good job...
And with that - Keiko hopes for Yoshi's words will get out more and more in Shibuya. And maybe the entire area of Japan later.
Keiko: Good night, Yoshi. (I hope he'll get better on what he does best.)
A nice way to have some good friends to see each other again and to continue on to do what's right for both Yoshi and Matsushita. And Keiko to see some things to follow the paths on what people really want to do in their lives. But before going back inside, Keiko gets a phone call from Yoshi to double check on her.
Morgana: It's Yoshida.
She answers it.
[Yoshi: Hello, Keiko. Thanks again for your help today. What a mess...Past mistakes can really come back to bite you. It's hard to feel like you've ever truly escaped them. Some people can fight their way back up, like Matsushita...but many end up suffering under the weight of labels. Even after twenty years, I'm still nothing more than No-Good Tora...But I will not give up...! It's true that I lost a lot, but...I did learn a great many things along the way. Somewhere in the middle of it all, my old stubbornness was tempered into conviction. My one redeeming quality. That is why...I want you to use your experiences to forge your own conviction.]
Keiko: You think I'll ever find it? I sure hope so.
[Yoshi: Don't worry. I can already see you're on your way. You just have to refine your experience into knowledge...Ah I ended up talking longer than I expected. Well, until next time.]
Keiko: Good night then, Yoshi. Sleep well.
Calling it a night, Keiko and Morgana headed back home to Leblanc.
Year – 20xx
Day # 51 – May 5/30th – Monday
Another day at school, only for Keiko, Ryuji, Ann, Yuuki, Kiwa, Kasumi, and the other students to do some cleaning duty today for her to get clean up. As Morgana will be tagging along to see how everything works out in Shujin's special project to be going on.
Morgana: We're cleaning up today, Madame Keiko?
Keiko: Sure looks like it, Morgana. But I don't mind working around outside.
Morgana: Then let's get to it.
Off to Shujin Academy then for Keiko and Morgana. On their way there around Shibuya area to take the train station, Kasumi was having a bit of trouble with some older and creepy man to be in the girl's way. This wasn't good.
Kasumi: Sorry, but I'm in a bit of a hurry.
Creepy Guy: You go to Shujin, right? I heard things have been rough there lately, what with that violent incident. You wanna go talk about it somewhere?
Ew, no way someone like her would go with the likes of that freaky guy.
Kasumi: Thank you for your concern. However, I really am in a hurry, so if you'd excuse me...
Bowing to leave, but the man grabs hold of Kasumi's hand from going anywhere. As Keiko was in her gym uniform to make her way to school, to see Kasumi was in danger.
Keiko: Is that Kasumi...? (I don't like where this scene is going.)
Kasumi: ...Ah!
This is just not right.
Creepy Guy: C'mon, there's no need to be shy.
Now everyone else were staring at this scene to be going on.
Kasumi: Like I said...
Creepy Guy: If you're busy, I'll put my number in your phone so you can call me later. Sound like a plan?
Kasumi: Stop it...
Something has to be done and there's only one person who can do something about it.
Keiko: (I can't overlook this...)
Morgana: Ah, Madame Keiko?
Keiko: I know, I'm on it.
Rushing to the scene to save Kasumi's life.
Kasumi: Uhh...
Creepy Man: Another cutie pie? What do you want? You want in too?
Keiko: Hey! Stop this! You're hurting her.
Pulling his hand back to make up a story.
Creepy Guy: Don't get worked up. I'm just being friendly here.
This gave Kasumi the chance to hide behind Keiko to stay away from the pervert man. Sucks for no one else didn't do anything to help. So rude!
Keiko: Yeah, stay behind me Kasumi. Mister, leave us be or I'll call the police.
Creepy Guy: Oh, what the...What're you getting so jumpy about? Like you're anything special!
Well, he does leave them alone now. A made up thing for Keiko to do really pulled off.
Kasumi: ...Thank you so much! I'm sorry for the trouble!
Keiko: It's fine, Kasumi. Are you okay?
Kasumi: Yes, I'm fine now! We women have to stay strong, I'm glad you're one of them. It was pretty scary, though...Ah-Um...
Keiko: OK...?
She tries to say something next.
Kasumi: May I ask you something? So...what made you step in to help me?
Keiko: Why? Well, you were in danger. I couldn't look the other way.
It's something for Keiko to do what's right.
Kasumi: I...see. Well, I apologize for asking something so strange. You're headed to the cleanup as well, right?
Keiko: I am and I know you're too.
Looking at the watch to get going.
Kasumi: ...The cleanup...? *gasp* Look at the time! I'm so sorry, I haven't even thanked you properly yet! Oh no! I forgot my gym clothes at school! I'll see you at the cleanup, soon. We can talk more then, if you'd like.
Keiko: I would love to very much, Kasumi. Yeah, you're Kasumi Yoshizawa.
Leaving right away for Kasumi to get to Shujin too.
Kasumi: Pardon me!
Bowing and then leaving for Keiko saved Kasumi twice now to seeing her a lot lately.
Morgana: This girl's something else.
And now time to get to Shujin to do some clean up duty today for all of the students. Arriving the outside field parks for Keiko to catch up to Ryuji and Ann to be all set to go.
Keiko: Hey, Ryuji and Ann.
Ryuji: Yo babe, what took ya so long?
Ann: Did you really come here from home in your gym clothes?
Keiko: Is was best to be prepared. Why? Is it weird?
Well, it's not as bad as doing so. Look at Ann, she's not in her gym clothes at all.
Ann: No, that's not what I meant...
Ryuji: Ain't it normal? And, uh, are you planin' on doin' this cleanup in that outfit?
Looks like Ryuji was smart enough to remember getting into his clothes as well. For Ann, I hope she got her gym clothes all set to go.
Ann: Of course not! I brought my gym clothes with me. I was gonna change in the bathroom, but now there's a huge line.
Ryuji: Ohhh, that makes sense. Sounds like it sucks to be a girl for you two.
Keiko and Ann: It's call life.
Soon Yuuki joins with the other three in his gym uniform on.
Yuuki: It's such a nice day out that even the weather seems to be mocking us. Hi, Amamiya. You're even cuter in that uniform.
Keiko: Ah, thanks Yuuki. I think...
Leave it to Ryuji to stand up for Keiko from Yuuki's ways. Look who's talking...
Ryuji: Watch it, Mishima.
Yuuki: Sakamoto, you're no fun.
Ryuji: And dude, could you try pushin' your way into our conversation a little less awkwardly next time?
Yuuki: I bet some Kichijoji clean-freak hung paper dolls all over and prayed for clear skies today.
So, it just happened to be a nice day to do this thing. Soon Takuto shows up to the other four.
Takuto: Hey. Morning, everyone.
Keiko: Good morning, Maruki sir.
Anyways, why was Takuto around with the other students?
Yuuki: Oh? Are you here for the cleanup too, Doc?
Takuto: You got it.
Ryuji: Uh, in those clothes?
Seems like it to be clumsy again.
Takuto: Oh, no. I'm in a different-
But before he could explain, some female students goes up to hang out with Takuto to be hot looking to them but Ann and Keiko.
Flex Female Student: There you are, Dr. Maruki.
Thin Female Student: We're going to start prepping soon...
Ann: Prepping what?
Sounds like there was something going on for Takuto to have something special to be made.
Takuto: I'm part of the cooking crew. Hope you're looking forward to a solid meal.
Keiko: You can cook?
Takuto: A lot more than just giving out free snacks. Well, see you all later.
For him to be going off with the other girls 'and remembering something' for them to help out Takuto, he does what he can besides being a doctor.
Ryuji: More like Dr. Popular...Keiko, you and Ann better not be falling for the Doc.
Keiko: He's not my type really.
Ann: Ryuji, are you jealous?
Sounds like it.
Ryuji: Hey! What I say and worry about is my business! And Keiko's.
Yuuki: Either way, I'm sure the Phantom Thieves will be even bigger someday.
Sure sounds like it for Yusuke to look forward to and do some good to stop Madarame real soon. And then, Makoto speaks up from a megaphone to get the other students their attention to start working around the park side today for everyone to her the Student Council President loud and clear.
Makoto: Good morning, Shujin Academy students and staff...Please pick up all trash located in the areas assigned to your group. Once the cleanup is completed, a lunch of miso soup with pork and vegetables will be served.
Someone was in a hurry to get to it.
Kiwa: I'm on it!
And another to get going...But falls down for the others to laugh about it and then helping Junko out.
Junko: Ouch...! Ah, I'm OK!
I guess the other four 'but Morgana' need to work now to act like normal students as much as they can. And for the food to be made later on, sounds tasty.
Ann: Ooh, pork miso soup! So that's what Dr. Maruki's fan club is making.
Yuuki: FYI, the school already assigned the groups at random. They're four people apiece, boys and girls mixed.
He was right, this has Ryuji feeling a bit down to not cook along side Keiko. Same thing with Yuuki with Keiko either to keep things to himself about it.
Ryuji: Oh...really?
Keiko: I do love to learn how to cool in anyway.
But wait, there was more to talk about for Makoto to say it on the loudspeakers.
Makoto: Now that those announcements have been made, please break into your groups and head to your assigned areas.
Sounds like a plan.
Ryuji: Alright, let's just get this over with as fast as possible so we can show down on that soup and get outta here!
Yeah, Ryuji just saying this so he can has some food the most. During all day, the students are working hard to make the park much cleaner all over. From picking up trash for Keiko to also be doing as well...Just without hearing the rumors to still be going around about Keiko being nothing but trouble, but she really wasn't.
Male Leader: Hey, that girl-yeah, her. Keiko Amamiya. Is she THAT transfer student?
Older Female Member: Yeah...
Young Female Member: You mean the one in all the crazy rumors?
Not this again.
Keiko: (This will never go away.)
Male Leader: Keep it down! What is she hears us?!
I don't think Keiko cares or didn't look too worried about it. On the other side of the park, some of the people didn't like touching the trash for Ann to be helping them out a lot.
Testy Male: Ugh. Anyone who just dumps a broken umbrella on the ground like this is human garbage.
Still part of their tasks.
Ann: Oh, before you trash it, you have to make sure you separate the plastic parts from the metal frame.
Large Male: Separate it? How?
From broken umbrellas it was hard to do sometimes by hand.
Ann: Like this.
She does it first by ripping them apart in seconds.
Testy Male: Whoa, awesome!
Bethune Girl: I had no idea you knew about that kinda stuff, Takamaki-san. I bet you'd make a wonderful wife.
With one guy on Ann's mind being Ryuji.
Ann: Oh, nah...
She's afraid to admit in public...With Ryuji trying his best with the others to be cleaning up trash was going well.
Uncouth Male: Sweet, a wallet!
Excited Female: Anything in it?
Looking at the wallet to be lots of money in it, you give it to a teacher and never have it to yourself.
Easygoing Male: Whoa! Yeah, a shit-ton!
Uncouth Male: ...We goin' splitsies on this?
Good thing Ryuji don't act like these guys are.
Ryuji: Wait-Shouldn't we take that to a police box?
Looks like they're not listening to him.
Ryuji: What?! How was that weird?
When will some teenagers learn never to take money away...While Yuuki did some things on his end, the same with Kiwa and Junko as well.
Yuuki: Man, this park is trashed...No way this was all done by kids-it's gotta be the work of some no good adults, too.
Yeah, bad to clean up for students have to do their jobs.
Junko: All set on my end.
Kiwa: Ah, yeah...same here.
Soon another third year students goes up to ask Yuuki about something.
Mature Female: If you don't mind, may I have the cap on the bottle?
Yuuki: Huh? Sure...Oh! Are you a collector?
Mature Female: Ah...Not exactly. Recycling companies collect these and convert them into vials for vaccines.
I guess some recycling things can be useful on other things.
Yuuki: Huh, I didn't know that...Well that sounds like an awesome way to bring more justice to the world!
Mature Female: ...I'm sorry, but I'm not sure I follow you.
Careful what you kind of say to others, Yuuki, of must justice and Phantom Thieves just in case. Also for this girl will be around from time to time. For Takuto was making the food for everyone as promised. For a lot of girls watch as a few others and the guys did the rest on their ends.
Takuto: Before I add taro to the pot, I have to rub them with salt to reduce the sliminess...
Sure looks and smells good so far.
Fawning Female: Ohhh, you're an amazing chef!
Takuto: I do cook pretty often at home. Let me try this little technique here...
Placing a pinch of salt into the pot very carefully for the students to watch his work.
Thin Female: Huh? What the...Why's the win salty?!
Takuto: Uh...Sorry.
Weird...As Makoto kept doing her part as a Student Council President for the other students to hear here out.
Makoto: The cleanup is officially complete. Thank you for your hard work, everyone. Would the leader of the each group please come and get the soup for their teams?
And now it was time for everyone to eat, for Keiko to do the same for her group.
Male Leader: So, after the soup's doled out, everyone's free to do whatever they want. Including getting the hello outta here.
Older Female Group: Oh, okay.
Young Female Group: Thank you for everything.
Now to take a breather for Keiko do the same with for Morgana to talk to her while sitting down.
Morgana: I don't know the best way to put it...but that sure was a crappy time out there.
Keiko: Tell me about it.
Soon, Kasumi walks by to see Keiko taking a break.
Kasumi: Oh!
Keiko: Kasumi.
Guess they're able to talk to each other now again.
Kasumi: I've finally found you. I was trying to find you so could thank you properly for this morning.
Keiko: It was nothing. I guess we need to be careful from perverts in the area.
So true, as Kasumi had to say something to Keiko next from her group has gone to since hers as well.
Kasumi: So...Where'd the other people in your group go?
Keiko: They ditched me.
Kasumi: Ah...I see...I'm in pretty much the same situation. If it's all right with you, why don't we eat our soup together?
Some more time to get to know each other more.
Keiko: Sure. I would love some company.
Kasumi: Great! What's your name again...? Sorry to trouble you.
Keiko: It's no trouble to me. I'm Keiko Amamiya.
Kasumi: Keiko, what a lovely name.
Keiko: Kasumi's a good name for you as well.
As minutes went by for Keiko and Kasumi to be enjoying their soup, and some for Morgana to eat some on his end.
Kasumi: Thanks for the food. I want to thank you again for this morning. That man was even more frightening than he might have appearances to you...So I truly appreciate what you did for me! Thank you so much.
Keiko: Don't worry, it was nothing. I just help out others when needed.
Kasumi: Sorry, but I'm not even finished! There's one more issue I need to address...
Keiko: What's that?
A lot for Kasumi to bring this part up to Keiko to saying it.
Kasumi: I'm also so sorry for what happened the other day!
Keiko: The other day?
Kasumi: ...The run-in we had outside of the guidance office.
Oh, right...From Suguru mess up acting to be a sicko for what he tried to do to Keiko, for Kasumi was aware of it all until he confessed.
Suguru: And remember the discussion we just had? There are a number of students in this school you shouldn't get involved with...This fine woman with ad past issues must be carefully watch for our safety and hers to make to the right path to almost make it on top of the list.
Kasumi: Kasumi: Oh, the delinquent female transfer student...?
Yeah, remember that? Keiko doesn't blame Kasumi for believing in Suguru's lies, but t now know he was a pervert.
Kasumi: Mr. Kamoshida had just told me about you a moment prior, so I sort of spoke without thinking there...I heard some of my classmates gossiping about you, too.
Keiko: Yeah, but what Kamoshida said in the end though...
Kasumi: I know! He tried to rape you and you couldn't say it, I get it. He makes me sick after he try to do to other students. Hurting the boys and getting his way with the other girls...And what I'm saying is I'm sorry.
Keiko: For real? Well, I'm happy he didn't get to you either, did he?
I hope Suguru didn't get near Kasumi!
Kasumi: Oh no, he didn't and I'm glad he didn't. And yes, people are discussing all sorts of things about you behind your back. I don't like gossip or rumors and the like...And I know this'll sound strange since I just met you, but you don't seem like the kind of girl they describe. It'd be a different story if all those rumors were actually true, though. What were all the crimes I'd heard? Burglary, murder, and...elephant tusk trafficking, was it?
That's what the other students heard about Keiko on those things she did but really didn't?
Keiko: Ah, no...I didn't do those things. Also, I drive without a license, too. Back at my home town though.
Kasumi: *giggle* Even I can tell you're joking. Hm?
Keiko: What's up?
Kasumi: You know what, it just hit me-I haven't introduced myself yet!
Keiko: Ah, your name is Kasumi Yoshizawa, right? Again that's a nice name you have.
Kasumi: You Keiko. And yes I'm Kasumi. Oh, I'm sorry to make you go first...Teacher?
Calling Keiko by teacher huh?
Keiko: Teacher? Me...?
Kasumi: Yep, I'll call you teacher sometimes. I apologize this was such a long time coming, but I hope we can get along well! I believe you already learned from our meeting at school that my-
She stops talking to see a girl's balloon flying away, as Kasumi jumps up to getting it and jumping back down. She was good.
Keiko and Morgana: Wow!
It was simply breath taking there.
Morgana: Wh-What the hell just happened?! ...Oh, look.
Dropping something to belong to Kasumi, Keiko picks it up to see what it was.
Keiko: Hmmm... (It seems to be a Shujin Academy pocketbook. The name "Kasumi Yoshizawa" is written inside.)
Huh, how weird. As for Kasumi to give the balloon back to the little girl.
Kasumi: Got it just in time...Here you are. Don't let go of things you like, okay?
She goes back to talking to Keiko for Kasumi there was very skillful.
Keiko: Wow, Kasumi, that was amazing on what you did there.
Kasumi: Sorry, I didn't mean to run out on you like that and thanks for noticing.
Keiko: I see why you're called Kasumi. Also, here. You've dropped this.
Handing it back to Kasumi on what she almost lost.
Kasumi: Huh? I guess you sleuthed me out before I got to tell you. Well, you remembered right and saw my name-for I'm Kasumi Yoshizawa, a first-year! But you already knew that part already.
Keiko: And your skills, that was impressive.
Kasumi: You mean that back there? Oh, it was just some basic gymnastics. It's not that difficult once you get the hang of it-just a hop, skip, and a jump.
Sounds like a fun thing to do and a lot of work in between.
Morgana: Gymnastics, huh? Hey, Madame Keiko-don't you think some of those moves would be awfully useful? I was just thinking about how the Phantom Thieves need to get some sweeter moves, too...
Keiko: Yeah, Morgana, you maybe right.
Hmm...Sounds like Morgana's on to something.
Kasumi: What's the matter, Teacher? Wait...Is there a cat somewhere around here?
Ah, getting to asking Kasumi for Keiko wanted to learn her moves.
Keiko: Say, Kasumi, I would love to learn your moves please.
Kasumi: Does that mean you're interested in gymnastics? That makes me so happy! I'd be honored if you'd allow me! The only problem is...I have a favor to ask for myself as well-if you wouldn't mind...
Keiko: And what is it?
Kasumi: Lately, I haven't been getting the results I want from my performances, and I'm worried that I'm overthinking things...So it would be wonderful if you could give me some advice whenever you have the time.
From her hard work to worry about to ask for Keiko's help on it.
Keiko: Well, you sure you want my help? I'm just wondering...
Kasumi: Of course I am! I'm not looking for technical coaching so much as just lending me an ear from time to time.
Another deal making to aiding someone once again.
Morgana: I see...This sounds like a pretty sweet deal to me-what do you think?
Keiko: I hope I'll be helpful to you.
Sounds like a deal then.
Kasumi: Thank you! Then we've cut a a deal! Heheh...
Another deal to be made for Keiko to help out Kasumi and she'll he her with her gymnastics moves, another Confidant slot was open...
Tayla: While back in the past time for Keiko to explains to Sae on her new friend Kasumi on what she can do to be useful combat skills and movements to use for battle to getting it, to be very good to be making a friend like her. A younger year type of girl for Keiko to make another friend of a girl like herself.
Sae: I've read in the reports that the Phantom Thieves' physical abilities are more acrobatic than the average person's. It seems you've gained an aptitude for specialty equipment as well, Keiko. Wouldn't a natural conclusion to draw be that you were trained by an expert in that field? Well? Tell me the truth!
A lot to be making more friends for Keiko's Confidants to keep on growing.
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 Faith Persona,
I have obtained the winds of blessing that shall lead to freedom and new power...
Tayla: Faith Arcana # 13 - Kasumi Yoshizawa
Like the Aeon Arcana, the Faith is not found in standard tarot decks. The Faith Arcana is present in the
Visconti-Sforza tarot deck card. Upright, it represents belief in others and in oneself, and in religion
or science. On the other hand, reversed, it can represent blind faith misplaced in something that does not deserve trust. It can also mean false idols, or overconfidence.
Another friend, and another thing to do in between.
Kasumi: Oh, why don't we exchange contact information? Hm?
Checking on her phone to see it wasn't on right now.
Keiko: Something wrong?
Kasumi: Hm? It shut down...Sorry, my smartphone's been acting up lately.
Now it starts to work again.
Keiko: I hope it's not dead.
Kasumi: Ha, it's back! Okay, I'll contact you when I've got free time, if that's fine!
And they have the parts on their phones to keep in contact.
Keiko: Got it.
And then Makoto talks again to get the other students their attentions.
Makoto: Attention Shujin Academy students: the cleanup event will be ending momentarily. Please do not discard your trash in the bins here. Instead, bring your waste to the predetermined location for disposal. After that, we will be officially releasing everyone for the day. Thank you all for you hard work.
I guess it's all over now.
Kasumi: Well, the cleanup seems to be finished.
Keiko: Seems like it.
Kasumi: We're already in our gym clothes-would you care for some basic training before heading home? Let's start with some core exercises! Those are the foundation for staying in shape.
Keiko: Okay, Kasumi! (I trained with Kasumi...)
As they do some workout, Kiwa was watching on Kasumi again for Keiko and Morgana to both notice.
Kiwa: Wow...
Morgana: (That guy seems to have a thing for Kasumi, must be love.)
A nice way, from the looks of it. A nice way to start things off first and making another friend too, for Keiko and Morgana headed on home to shower right away to then lending Sojiro a hand.
Sojiro: Good thing you showered first before helping me out in the cafe today.
Keiko: Me too, Mr. Sakura.
A nice way for Morgana to sit by and watch.
Morgana: Finally home...A lot of stink to clean up, Madame Keiko. But yep, you've did it.
As they have the rest of the night watching a show Keiko rented for her Morgana and her to enjoy the whole thing to then getting some sleep next...Elsewhere, there were others doing something at night time. For some Regent Shadows were on the loose in the Metaverse to be hurting some random other ones who were innocent from Madarame's Palace to cause some trouble, only to be stopped by—two other unknown Persona-users? Who are girls!
?: Halt, Shadow! We won't let you go any further!
The two girls said together to then introducing themselves one at a time next. One was wearing a butterfly shape mask of black and blue all over, with her long hair in a ponytail of a blue rose, a necklace with one pearl on it, black short gloves with a bracelet, a gray and black outfit of a thing underneath it with a skirt, with stockings of black with another bracelet of gold on it, and black shoes.
Girl in Black: Whenever gravity pulls, the beat down is shown. For I am Templar, Persona-user who controls lighter and harder things.
Then other girls had long bushy blonde hair, with red roses on it to hold up her hair, wearing a bunny mask on her face, a black collar on her next, a white and red komodo with some black around it, a bunny tail on the back, a red rope with bells on it, black gloves on, a black stocking on her legs and feet, and wooden sandals too.
Girl in White: Somewhere between light, it's guided by beautiful water around it. For I am Jester, Persona-user who controls smooth and brightness on life.
For this Jester has another one fighting by its side to stop the two girls. Templar and Jester, for they take care of things very carefully on their ends.
Jester: I wish they didn't do this the hard way. Let's go, Jeanne D' Arc!
Tayla: Persona # 34 – Jeanne D' Arc
Jeanne D'Arc or The Maid of Orléans is a heroine of France and a Catholic saint. A peasant girl born in eastern France, she led the French army to several important victories during the Hundred Years' War, claiming divine guidance, and was indirectly responsible for the coronation of Charles VII. She was captured by the Burgundians, sold to the English, tried by an ecclesiastical court, and burned at the stake when she was nineteen years old. Twenty-four years later, on the initiative of Charles VII, Pope Callixtus III reviewed the decision of the ecclesiastical court, found her innocent, and declared her a martyr. She was beatified in 1909 and canonized in 1920. She is, along with St. Denis, St. Martin of Tours, St. Louis IX, St. Radegund, St. Remigius, St. Petronilla, St. Michael archangel, St. Theresa of Lisieux and the Virgin Mary, one of the patron saints of France.
Joan asserted that she had visions from God that told her to recover her homeland from English domination late in the Hundred Years' War. The uncrowned King Charles VII sent her to the siege at Orléans as part of a relief mission. She gained prominence when she overcame the dismissive attitude of veteran commanders and lifted the siege in only nine days. Several more swift victories led to Charles VII's coronation at Reims and settled the disputed succession to the throne.
Summoning Jester's Persona to be a wizard type with purple skin, deep green eyes, a coat of rainbow colors with small black feet, and large two hands made of gold with sharp claws.
Templar: I guess it can't be helped sometimes. Time to play, Sonya!
Same with her Persona of a man-like sharp bird with a mask around it, of black, orange, yellow, and white all over, with wings below its arms, long sharp claws, legs to be giant swords, chains all over its body, and looks like it's wearing a long jacket.
Tayla: Persona #35 – Sonya
Sonya's Story is an opera by the British composer Neal Thornton to a libretto based on the original Russian text of Anton Chekhov's play Uncle Vanya. The libretto reproduces passages from Uncle Vanya in English translation with additional spoken text by Neal Thornton. Sonya's Story premiered on 7 August 2010 at the Riverside Studios in Londonto celebrate Chekhov's 150th anniversary. The production, part of the Tête à Tête festival was directed by Sally Burgess and designed by Charles Phu.
Set in late 19th century Russia, Sonya's Story is a musical psycho-drama portraying Sonya's responses to her life crises and the limitations presented by her social and personal circumstances. It is the first opera adapted from Uncle Vanya.
Tayla: Sorry, it was the only one I could fine. :(
Fighting off against one Regent to use for Jeanne of the power of water and light to be blind and washed away from the ocean's powers; leaving Sonya to take control of gravity to pull the Shadow in one spot to beating up the rest of it to be no more. Leaving the other two girls to finish the last one left.
Templar: Black-hole Burst!
A real beat down there on Templar's powers.
Jester: Lunar light Waves!
And a power hit from all the water for Regent was gone into a stone for it to fall down, with the two Personas doing well 'for they don't talk' leaving another victory and such to still be looking for something important.
Templar: No one of the seven stones here.
Jester: Then the enemy has it, the one we're fighting against.
Templar: Seems like it. We couldn't fine the stones lately. And we can't do this alone. We might have to leave it to the other thieves.
Jester: But is it wise to trust them?
Templar: Well, we'll see what they do the second time in person if we have to.
All set to leave as the two girls report back to headquarters on today's task was a no go.
Jester: Good idea, Templar. Team, we're heading back. No stones here.
Templar: What she said. We'll try again somewhere else.
From the Metaverse and back in the real world, seems a group of guys were on the case to aid these girls of the group from the beginning of the game. Kiwa, Tsuba, and Daisuke were there? Hmmm...Who's to say about others like the three girls and Wakaba Isshiki?
Tsuba: Nothing today? Okay, you two wait for standby.
Daisuke: Another wait again, huh?
Kiwa; But we're getting somewhere...Also, I met with her today.
They seem to know what Kiwa was talking about – Kasumi? He was more than a nervous student at Shujin then. Well, seems like what they've done before to still continue on today with some new changes. Hopefully to know the rest soon, there was another Persona wondering around in Madarame's Palace to be all covered in snow and it was hiding. What could it be though? Next time, it's back to the Palace to finding the Treasure the five Phantom Thieves go.
