"Another All-Out Attack, that's definitely a good way to start this battle." Adachi said as Nanako selected the option to attack the boss. "With any luck we'll be able to beat this guy quickly, it's starting to get late."

"Ok." Nanako said as the boss got back up and a white shield.

"White Wall, what does that mean?" Adachi asked in confusion before Shadow Mitsuo hit Kanji and Yu with an ice attack while Teddie and Yukiko dodged it. "So he uses ice attacks, that means Yukiko needs to block right?"

"Yeah, that way she won't get hurt." Nanako said.

"Wait, but if the bad guy is using ice wouldn't that mean he's weak against fire? So Yukiko should attack him right?" Adachi asked.

"Maybe." Nanako said thoughtfully before having Junes Dojima use Garudyne.

"This is getting me nowhere, maybe I just need some air and to clear my head." Dojima said in frustration before taking out his phone. "I might as well see how they're doing."

"Hello, Dojima-san is everything alright?" Adachi asked.

"Everything's fine, I'm just checking in. How are you two doing?" Dojima asked.

"We're alright, Nanako-chan and I are just hanging out." Adachi said. "Oh yeah, what's the date you have circled on the calendar?"

"That, oh my sister called and mentioned her son is going to be living here for a year." Dojima said. "That's the day he's supposed to arrive."

"Oh, that makes sense." Adachi said.

"Yeah, hey do you mind letting Nanako know I might have to stay later than I thought?" Dojima asked.

"Huh, yeah I'll tell her." Adachi said.

"Thanks, I'll see you tomorrow." Dojima said.

"Right, goodbye Dojima-san." Adachi said hanging up the phone.

"Chisato, what is it I'm missing?" Dojima asked before walking back into the police station.

"What did dad want?" Nanako asked.

"Oh, he just wanted me to tell you that things are taking longer down at the station than he thought they would." Adachi said rubbing the back of his head. "I guess you're used to that aren't you?"

"He's not coming home is he?" Nanako asked sadly.

"I'm not going to lie to you, he's staying at the station tonight." Adachi said honestly. "Though how about if I tell him to leave early tomorrow so he can spend some time with you, would that be ok?"

"I guess, dad works late a lot so I'm ok." Nanako said before having Teddie heal everyone. (1)

"Huh, wait is he rebuilding that suit of his?" Adachi asked.

"Oh yeah, the bad guy is trying to hide again." Nanako said. "Rise-chan said we need to hit him before he finishes though."

"Well then let's make sure we stop him from hiding, right Nanako-chan?" Adachi asked calmly.

"Yeah." Nanako said having Kanji attack the boss.

"Ok, wait it looks like he's half dead. How'd you do that much while I was on the phone?" Adachi asked as the boss built more of its shell.

"Everybody hit the bad guy, and Yukiko got a special hit twice." Nanako said.

"You mean a critical hit?" Adachi asked.

"Yeah, I think that's what it said." Nanako said before the boss attacked Yukiko with transparent blue blocks.

"Ouch, that looked painful." Adachi said. "What do you think Nanako-chan, should we have Teddie heal her or should he attack the bad guy?"

"We need to make sure Yukiko isn't hurt." Nanako said.

"Alright, you're in charge Nanako-chan. So Junes Dojima, Kanji, and Yukiko are going to attack, and Teddie's going to heal right?" Adachi asked.

"Yeah." Nanako said before having Junes Dojima attack the boss with another Garudyne only for its shell to disappear and it to fall to the ground.

"Wait, that wasn't a critical hit and the boss wasn't weak to wind. How did you get an All-Out Attack?" Adachi asked. "Unless the boss just gives you them when you do a lot of damage."

"Do you think that's what happened?" Nanako asked.

"It's the only thing I can think of." Adachi said. "Well either way it means we'll be able to catch the bad guy in no time."

"Really?" Nanako asked. "Ok, then we can tell dad."

"That sounds like a plan to me, let's take the bad guy down." Adachi said while Nanako chose to perform the All-Out Attack only for Rise to show up and it to drop the boss to a little over a quarter of its health. "Huh, one more of those and the boss should be done."

"Yeah, dad will be so surprised." Nanako said with a smile before having Yukiko and Kanji attack the boss.

"Ok, now we just need to heal up with Teddie and then we win next turn right?" Adachi asked. "You're good at this Nanako-chan."

"Thank you, dad and I were playing together and I remember what he did." Nanako said with a smile.

"That makes sense, I'm glad you two are getting to spend so much time together these past few days." Adachi said before turning to the screen to see that the boss had built nearly all of its armor again. "That doesn't look good, how long does it take him to build that?"

"Rise-chan didn't tell me, she just said it takes time." Nanako said thoughtfully.

"Well in that case let's catch the bad guy before he starts hiding again right Nanako-chan?" Adachi asked.

"Ok." Nanako said before having the four characters attack the boss.

The moment Kanji's attack hit, the boss started falling to the ground and disappeared in red smoke.

"So that means we win, game over?" Adachi asked.

"Yeah, we beat the bad guy." Nanako said. "Now we can tell dad all about it. Oh wait we can't."

"Hey Nanako-chan, how about this. I won't tell Dojima-san anything about what we did in the game, so when he gets home you can tell him all about it ok?" Adachi asked.

"Ok, thank you." Nanako said before yawning. "I'm sleepy."

"I'm not surprised, let's safe the game and get you to bed." Adachi said rubbing the back of his head.

"Ok." Nanako said sleepily.

(Nanako and Adachi have defeated Shadow Mitsuo. Next chapter Dojima and Nanako will get back to playing the game together. As always any reviews or critique is appreciated.)
