A few minutes later, in Shujin Academy…
When Keiko, Morgana, Mallory and their 2 blonde-haired friends arrived and entered in Shujin Academy, they quickly went into their class, sat down and put away their bags before they prepared themselves for their final exams of the day.
"Today's the last day of exams, huh, Madame Keiko." asked Morgana almost quietly to Keiko (who nodded silently to him). "Whoa, I can see you spared almost no time in doing and get through the exam… I'm pretty sure that you can passed the exam and get a good score." added Morgana reassuringly to Keiko.
"We shall see whether I, Maly or the others will passed our exams or not, Morgana." replied Keiko almost quietly to Morgana as she kept on writing the essay in front of her.

A few hours later, in Shibuya station…
"Mmmmmm, it's over!" groaned Ann in joy and relief as she raised and stretch her arms above her.
"It's over…" said Ryuji in a despair tone of voice before he glance at both Keiko and Mallory. "How 'bout you 2 girls…?" asked Ryuji.
"I'm feeling confident, Ryuji-kun, thanks for asking." replied Keiko with a relief smile on her face.
"So do I, Sakamoto." said Mallory.
"Seriously?" groaned Ryuji with a more despair look on his face after he heard what both Keiko and Mallory told him about their exams before he look away from them, take out and glance at his smartphone instead. "Anyways, can we stop talkin' about the exams? Like it or not, they're gonna come back graded next week. Rather than focus on stuff that's over with…"
"What're you looking at on your phone?" asked Ann curiously at Ryuji.
"The usual site." replied Ryuji as he briefly turned and raised his phone to show them the Phantom Aficionado Website before he glance back at it. "…It's no use. There ain't any new useful info. The number of posts are getting' less and less too…" added Ryuji as he frown in disappointment.
"That's too bad." sighed Mallory.
"I'm not letting this end as a one-hit wonder, OK?" said Morgana as he popped out of Keiko's bag with a scowling look on his face.
"There's no point in getting antsy though. I know! Why don't we all go eat lunch somewhere? We still have some money leftover from the other day." suggested Ann as she glance at Keiko, Mallory, Morgana and Ryuji.
"In that case, I want sushi then! Or domestic-raised eel!" suggested Ryuji with a wide grin on his face.
"We don't have THAT much left, Ryuji-kun. Just enough for us to go to a fast-food place or a small diner." said Keiko sadly to Ryuji.
"Then let's go to either one of those places that you just suggested to us, Keiko." said Mallory as she nodded at Keiko.
"It's settled then, let's go!" said Morgana as he smiled at Keiko before they left the station and head towards Big Bang Burger restaurant.

A few minutes later, in Big Bang Burger…
"So… since Kitagawa-kun gave us those tickets to Madarame's exhibition tomorrow, we should go to see those fine arts." said Ann as she sipped her 100 plus soda.
"Yeah, sure. And what about you guys, do you guys wanna go or not?" asked Keiko as she glance at Morgana, Mallory and Ryuji while she munched on a fry.
"Don't tell me. Was it love at first sight for you two with that Yusuke guy…?" said Morgana in a shock tone of voice to both Keiko and Ann (which make them gasped before they both scowled at Morgana) before either Mallory or Ryuji could say anything.
"It's not like that." said Ann as she shake her head at Morgana.
"Ann's right and seriously, Morgana. Your mind wanders a bit too far." scoffed Keiko.
"O-Of course not." said Morgana in quick relief to them.
"Right." thought Mallory sarcastically in her mind at Morgana.
"When I was watching that special on TV, his artworks was pretty nice. Plus, we've got some free tickets from him. Besides, this could also be related to what we heard from Nakanohara in Mementos." said Ann.
"…Madarame, was it?" asked Ryuji as he munched on his beef burger.
"What he said piqued my curiosity too, Ryuji-kun." said Keiko.
"Hrmm…" hummed Morgana.
"So how about it, you guys? We have the other 2 tickets so you guys wanna come with us to see and appreciate some fine arts for once?" asked Keiko for the second time to Mallory, Morgana and Ryuji.
"I'm going." said Mallory.
"Fine arts, huh…" said Ryuji as he look down and twirled the fry with his fingers a little.
"I suggest, we should all go together! Appreciating the fine arts builds character. A phantom thief who can't identify an original from fakes is lame." said Morgana smugly to them.
"Well, if Morgana say so…" said Ryuji as he pursed his lips.
"It's settled then." said Ann as she smiled cheerfully to them.
"Maly and I are looking forward to seeing those fine arts with you all." said Keiko as she (and Mallory) smiled at them as well.
"Just the phrase "going to an art exhibit" sounds kinda mature." said Ann as she finished drinking her 100 plus soda. "Let's all meet at the art exhibit entrance tomorrow." added Ann to Keiko, Mallory, Morgana and Ryuji.
"Well then, I'll be going home now. See you all tomorrow!" said Ann before she stood up, bade farewell to them and left Big Bang Burger. Soon after she left, Ryuji stood up, bade farewell to Keiko, Mallory and Morgana.
A few minutes later, both Keiko and Mallory finish their meals and drinks, left Big Bang Burger, went to the station to take a train ride back to Yongen-Jaya, went into Leblanc, met and greeted Sojiro before she and Mallory went upstairs, briefly sent some messages with Ann and Ryuji on their phones before they cleaned themselves up and change into their pajamas before she, Mallory and Morgana fell asleep.
