The next day, on the rooftop of Shujin Academy after school…

After class is over, Keiko, Mallory, Ryuji, Ann and Morgana make their way up the stairs to the school's rooftop to begin their meeting and discussion of making and sending the calling card to Kamoshida.

"Tomorrow's finally the day." said Ryuji with an excited look on his face.

"So we send the calling card in the morning… and carry out the plan by the end of the day, right?" asked Ann.

"That's right and that means we have to do it ASAP, Takamaki." replied Mallory as she nodded to Ann.

"Miss Mallory's correct. The effect won't last that long… Are you worried, Lady Ann?" replied Morgana before he asked Ann a question.

"Heh. Waited long enough." replied Ann.

"Soon he'll pay for what he did to us and to others too." said Mallory.

"Perfect." said Morgana as he nodded to them both.

"We're going to pull this off, no matter what!" said Ann determinedly to them.

"Well then, which among us is going to write the card?" asked Keiko.

"Leave it to me, Keiko babe!" replied Ryuji before the others could say anything.

"Why?" said Ann as she glance dubiously at Ryuji.

"And did I just hear you call Keiko a babe, Sakamoto?" said Mallory as she glared at Ryuji.

"Why…? Why wouldn't it be me and you must have heard wrong, Caelum!" said Ryuji as he scowled at Ann then nervously at Mallory.

"Calm down, Maly." said Keiko calmly to Mallory.

"Hm. Whatever, Keiko." said Mallory as she look away and shake her head a little.

"Because this is important. Are you sure you can handle the pressure?" said Ann as she furrowed her brows at Ryuji.

"I must agree with Lady Ann." said Morgana as he scratch his right ear with his paw.

"Same goes for me too." said Mallory.

"Oh, come on, girls! I really wanna get him good! Lemme write it… C'mon, please, Keiko?" pleaded Ryuji desperately to Keiko.

"Fine then, I'll leave it to you, Ryuji-kun." sighed Keiko as she gave a small nod to Ryuji.

"Yeah, I got this! Thanks!" said Ryuji as he grinned excitedly at Keiko.

"You're such a kid, Sakamoto." thought Mallory in amusement in her mind at Ryuji.

"Hey, are you sure about this…? If they find out our identities, all the work we do will be for nothing…" said Ann in a warning tone of voice to Ryuji.

"I know! I know!" said Ryuji unconcernly to Ann's warning words.

"All right, then! Tomorrow it is! You all better not slack off on this." said Morgana as he glance at each of them.

"Don't worry, we won't, Morgana." said Mallory reassuringly to Morgana.

"Well then, meeting adjourned. Let's head home now." said Keiko to them before they turned around, left the rooftop and the school and take different trains home.

An hour later, inside the attic in Leblanc…

"Well, whether you 2 like it or not, the real battle begins tomorrow after Kamoshida received the calling card. Better be sure that you 2 and the others are fully prepared, OK, Madame Keiko and Miss Mallory?" said Morgana warningly to both Keiko and Mallory.

"Of course we will, Morgana." said Keiko reassuringly to Morgana before she and Mallory felt their phones vibrating and they pull it out to see and read the messages.

RS: Man, there's so much I wanna write on the calling card. It's kinda tough figuring out what to say.

AT: Are you sure you're really capable of this!?

MC: Because if you're not, either me, Keiko or Takamaki will do it instead.

RS: Don't worry so much, you three, I got it. I even made a logo for us.

AT: A logo?

MC: What kind of logo, Sakamoto?

RS: Yup. You girls will get to see and know about it tomorrow.

AT: Well, that's worrying…

RS: Anyway, you girls should rest up. If we screw up tomorrow, we're totally done for.

MC: Right back at you, Sakamoto. You need to rest up too after you're done with writing the calling card.

KA: I'm counting on you guys.

AT: Yeah, I'm sure we'll be able to do this.

RS: Just remember, we can't trust any shitty adults. That's why we gotta do this ourselves. Anyway, let's pull this off and surprise everyone!

KA: Sure. Maly and I will see you all tomorrow.

After both Keiko and Mallory's done with messaging their friends, both Keiko and Mallory turned off and put their phone on the table, change into their pajamas and Keiko picked up and put Morgana down on the floor between their futons before they fell asleep.

The next day, Keiko, Mallory and Morgana woke up from their slumbers before both Keiko and Mallory cleaned themselves up, put on their uniforms and grab their bags, went downstairs to greet Sojiro, ate their curry breakfast before they left Leblanc, head toward the subway station, got into the train and they soon heard the other passengers talking about what they're going to do or not do for the day.

"I haven't done much of anything on my day off… It's such a pain to put on makeup, and I hate shopping, so I usually end up just lazing about the house." said a lazy-looking woman.

"Same here. Good thing there's the home shopping program on TV. They always have the best stuff on Sundays." said an enthusiastic shopper woman to the lazy-looking woman.

"Oh, I know exactly what show you're talking about! They even sell surgical masks for when you're sick." said the lazy-looking woman.

"I'll have to check it out tomorrow. It's so popular they always sell out if you don't call the same day." said the enthusiastic shopper woman to the lazy-looking woman before Keiko, Mallory and Morgana stop listening to their conversations.

After a while, the train arrived in the subway station of Aoyama-Itchome and both Keiko and Mallory stepped out of the train with Morgana, walked out of the station before they saw and greeted Ann (who's walking down the street before she heard Keiko, Mallory and Morgana greeting her from behind, turned and greeted back to them) outside the station then they head toward Shujin Academy together with the other students and went into the school.

Once Keiko, Mallory, Morgana and Ann stepped into the school and turned to their right, they saw several students standing and talking amongst themselves in front of 2 bulletin boards that had some papers and dozens of small red-coloured cards with words written on them pinned on the boards.

"A calling card…?" said a disheveled-looking male student.

"I heard it was already posted by the time everyone got here this morning." said another male student excitedly.

"Hm? Calling card?" said Mallory with a confused look on her face.

"Let's check it out, Maly, Morgana, Ann." said Keiko to Mallory, Morgana and Ann (who nodded back to her) before they approach the 2 bulletin boards to look and read the words on the cards.

"Sir Suguru Kamoshida, the utter bastard of lust. We know how shitty you are, and that you put your twisted desires on students that can't fight back. That's why we have decided to steal away those desires and make you confess your sins. This will be done tomorrow, so we hope you will be ready. From, the "Phantom Thieves of Hearts". said Ann before she trailed off into silence with an incredulous look on her face (same goes for Keiko, Mallory and Morgana).

"…Wow." added Ann to herself before she, Keiko, Mallory and Morgana turned around and they noticed Ryuji leaning against the wall near some tables and chairs and they approach and stopped near him.

"Well, what do you girls think? Not bad, huh? I look up a bunch of similar stuff online for reference." asked Ryuji as he smiled a little smugly at them.

"Um… Yeah… I know what you wanted to say, but it sounded like an idiot trying to be an adult." said Ann flatly to Ryuji.

"Yeah, I agreed with Takamaki." said Mallory in agreement with Ann.

"Your logo's a little lacking, too." said Morgana as he popped out of Keiko's bag and glance disappointedly at Ryuji.

"OK, y'two know what? Th-That ain't true!" protested Ryuji uncomfortably to them.

"Well, as long as it does it's job then I don't mind on how lacking you write and make it out to be, Ryuji-kun." said Keiko with a small nod of her head (which make Ryuji smiled widely at her) before they overheard what the other students are talking about.

"Did Kamoshida-sensei do something wrong…?" asked a shy female student.

"Does this mean the rumors are true!?" said another female student excitedly.

"Wait a sec… Is someone gonna take something from Kamoshida-sensei…?" asked a disheveled male student.

"What's with this weird logo? And who're these "Phantom Thieves of Hearts" people…?" asked another male student.

"…Well, it certainly got everyone excited." said Ryuji as he smiled a little approvingly at them before they saw Kamoshida approaching the bulletin boards with an angry look on his face.

"Who's responsible for this…!?" demanded Kamoshida as he glared at the male and female students standing near the bulletin boards.

"…Look at that. A predictable reaction for someone who knows what we meant by distorted desires." said Morgana delightfully to them.

"I think it's hittin' him pretty hard." said Ryuji as he smiled more widely to them.

"Sure looks like it, Ryuji-kun." said Keiko as she nodded to Ryuji.

"Did you do this!? Or was it you!?" yell Kamoshida loudly and angrily to the students (which frighten them before they quickly run away in fear from Kamoshida) before he noticed them and approach them. "…Was it you, Sakamoto!?" demanded Kamoshida as he glared at Ryuji.

"Huh? What are you talking about, Kamoshida? What make you seriously think that he's the one who did it? We just got here, isn't that right, Maly, Ryuji-kun, Takamaki-san?" said Keiko innocently to Kamoshida as she glance in feign confusion at Mallory, Ryuji and Ann.

"…Hmph. So you're defending him huh, Amamiya?" said Kamoshida in disappointment at Keiko.

"Who knows?" said Keiko as she shrugged her shoulders at him.

"Eh, it doesn't matter. He'll will be expelled soon enough anyway. And as for you and Caelum, I'll look forward to the day you 2 joined the volleyball team." said Kamoshida threateningly to Ryuji (who glared at him) before they suddenly felt and saw the atmosphere around them started to fizzed up, turned purple then black then they saw Kamoshida change to the shadow version of himself.

"Come… Steal it, if you all can!" said shadow Kamoshida in a goading tone of voice to them before the atmosphere change back to normal and Kamoshida raised his hand to touch Keiko's butt again but before he could, Mallory noticed and quickly smack his hand away.

"Hey! Keep your filthy hands off Keiko, you pervert!" snapped Mallory as she glared at Kamoshida, who glared back at her for stopping him before he turned and walked away from them.

"Thanks for your help again, Maly." said Keiko gratefully to Mallory.

"No problem, Keiko." said Mallory as she nodded at Keiko.

"Judging from Kamoshida's response… I'm sure we had an effect on his Palace now!" said Morgana.

"Does that mean the Treasure's appeared!? We'll be able to get it today, right?" asked Ann.

"It's not just "today". It's ONLY today. The impact of seeing a calling card doesn't last long, and it cannot be repeated. This will be our one chance to steal the Treasure." replied Morgana.

"One day's more than enough for us!" said Ryuji excitedly to Morgana.

"Well then, let's do it, everyone!" said Keiko determinedly to Mallory, Ryuji, Ann and Morgana before they turned and head to their classrooms and waited for school to end.

XXXX

A few hours later, in front of Kamoshida's Palace…

When Joker activated the app and entered the castle of Kamoshida with Countess, Skull, Panther and Mona, they instantly saw and felt the air around them pulsed strongly and angrily with red energy. They then teleport straight into the safe room outside the throne room, leave the safe room, went through the opened doors into the throne room and they saw with surprise and confused looks on their faces that Kamoshida's shadow and his knight shadows weren't in the room.

"What the hell's goin' on here? The door's just sittin' open, and there aren't any soldiers around…" said Skull as he look around the room suspiciously.

"This place is probably undermanned now that they all got assigned elsewhere." explained Mona to Skull. "Either way, we win as long as we steal the Treasure! Let's get going!" added Mona firmly to them.

Joker, Countess, Skull and Panther nodded in unison to Mona before they run across the throne room, run up the stairs toward the treasure room and Joker opened it and they went into the room and saw that the floating transparent cloudy thing had change into a large shining red and golden jeweled crown.

"Aww yeeeeaaaaaaaah! The Treasure has materialized!" cheered Mona as he jumped quite exuberantly.

"Man, it's huge!" said Skull as he glance at the crown with an incredulous look on his face.

"No kidding, Skull." said Countess as she nodded in agreement to Skull. "But how are we going to steal such a huge crown out of here?" added Countess.

"We'll think of something, Countess." said Joker.

"What do you all think!? It's just as I said! Now we can steal it! Ahh… this shine brings tears to my eyes…" purred Mona happily and smugly to them.

"… It kinda pisses me off. Why's it so pretty…? Isn't this Kamoshida's desires?" said Panther as she crossed her arms and scowled at the crown.

"T-Treasure…" purred Mona as he glance dreamily at the crown (which make Joker, Countess, Skull and Panther glance at Mona with confused looks on their faces).

"Uh, guys. The cat's actin' awfully excited…" said Skull as he scratch the back of his head.

"What's wrong? Is something…?" asked Panther to Mona before she got cut off when Mona suddenly jumped onto the crown and began rubbing himself against the crown (which surprises all of them and make Joker squeal internally when she saw what Mona just did in front of them).

"Meeeeeooooow! Mrrrrroooooow!" purred Mona in ecstasy while oblivious to them.

"What the hell's wrong with him?" said Countess.

"Uh, Mona. Don't you think you're being a little too excited?" said Joker after she's done composing herself.

"…Meow, meow! Mewwwww!" mewled Mona even more as he briefly glance at Joker.

"All right, that's enough, you stupid cat!" snapped Skull in slight frustration at Mona, which succeeded in snapping him out of his ecstasy mood before he jumped down from the crown and lowered his head in embarrassment.

"Oh, um, yeah… Forgive me for displaying such an insolent sight in front of the ladies…" said Mona apologetically to Joker, Countess and Panther.

"You were completely out of character too. What was that about?" asked Panther.

"I couldn't stop it either… To think I'd be drawn to human desires this much…" said Mona as he shake his head before he perked up. "Doesn't that prove that I'm human!?" added Mona quite happily to them.

"How should we know!?" said Skull in a disbelief tone of voice to Mona.

"That's enough now, Skull!" said Joker warningly to Skull and he fell silent.

"A-Anyway, you guys need to carry it!" said Mona as he raised and pointed his paw at the crown.

"All you do is bark orders…" said Skull before he grinned widely. "Still, that was easier than I thought! I thought for sure that there'd be some insane trap or something."

"Don't jinx it, Skull." said Countess as she scowled at Skull.

"His Palace will disappear if we take this back, right? And Kamoshida will change to…" said Panther as she and Skull approach the crown.

"… That should be the case." said Mona as both Joker and Countess approach the crown too.

"Good. Now's our chance then." said Skull as he raised and rolled his arms a little before he, Joker, Countess and Panther grabbed hold of the edge of the crown.

"It's heavy…!" said Panther as she winced a little due to the heavy weight of the crown.

"We know, Panther. But we gotta keep moving." said Joker as she winced a little as well.

"To think it'd go so well… I've even found four Persona users in the process… My judgement was correct. I made the right choice in making a deal with you! Nyahaha!" said Mona as he glance and jumped enthusiastically to Joker (who felt her bond with Mona go up to level two).
