"Can any of them weaken the boss?" Adachi asked.
"Actually, you might have a point. Nanako Yosuke still has Dekaja right?" Dojima asked.
"I think so." Nanako said thoughtfully.
"Alright, in that case Junes Dojima should guard and then we can have Yosuke weaken the boss for Chie and Kanji." Dojima said calmly.
"Good plan Dojima-san." Adachi said.
"Well hopefully it works." Dojima said while having Junes Dojima guard. "There we go, Dekaja."
"Now what dad?" Nanako asked.
"Now we deal as much damage as possible." Dojima said while having Chie and Kanji attack the boss with Black Spot and Torrent Shot.
"I have to admit, Kanji's impressive." Adachi said just before the boss used a move called Element Zero. "Huh, what does that do?"
"I don't know, but I have a bad feeling about it." Dojima said. "Whatever Element Zero was it affected the boss too."
"Maybe it means the boss is weak to electricity now dad." Nanako said thoughtfully.
"Well let's find out." Dojima said before having the four persona users attack the boss with their elemental spells. "Still no weakness, but if memory serves the boss resisted fire before."
"Yeah, I think you're right Dojima-san. So does that mean the boss doesn't resist fire anymore?" Adachi asked.
"I think so, that must be what Element Zero did." Dojima said. "Though if it hit all of us that means we don't resist any of these attacks either. We'll need to be incredibly careful for the rest of the battle."
The moment Dojima said that, shadow Naoto hit everyone with Magarudyne.
"Well that answers that, so what now Dojima-san?" Adachi asked.
"Now we just have Junes Dojima focus on keeping everyone alive while the others deal as much damage as possible." Dojima said just before the doorbell rang. "What the, who would be out at this hour?"
"I'll get it Dojima-san." Adachi said before walking to the door. "Huh, were you expecting anything?"
"No, then again for all we know it could be related to this game. Just add that to the endless list of mysteries about whoever sent it to us." Dojima said before opening the small package.
"What is it dad?" Nanako asked.
"It's a notebook, but that's not the important thing." Dojima said calmly. "What is important is the message on the first page, 'Don't forget to say goodbye to Junes.' I."
"Is that some kind of secret code name?" Adachi asked in confusion.
"No, but I have a hunch who it might be and if I'm right things are going to be very strange soon." Dojima said calmly before putting the notebook in his pocket. "Anyway, right now we need to make sure to save Naoto Shirogane right Nanako?"
"Yeah, we need to make sure nobody gets hurt." Nanako said quickly.
"Then that's exactly what we'll do." Dojima said calmly while having Junes Dojima switch to Ishtar. "Now the only question is will we survive another attack or not?" (1)
"I think so, the only person who's that weak is Yosuke." Adachi said. "I'm pretty sure he can survive one more hit."
"No, we need to heal everybody so Yosuke doesn't get hurt." Nanako said.
"Well, that settles that. Junes Dojima is healing everyone and the others can try and deal damage." Dojima said calmly while picking the skills.
"That's good, we're halfway done with the boss." Adachi said. "So do you think you'll be able to catch the villain of the game before your nephew gets here?"
"We'll have to wait and see." Dojima said calmly.
The moment Dojima said that, the boss attacked Yosuke and got a critical hit before using Heat Riser again.
"That could be a problem." Adachi said nervously.
"No, because Yosuke should be able to get back up every round which means it's going to take longer than we expected but I'm fairly certain we should be able to win." Dojima said calmly.
"I hope you're right Dojima-san." Adachi said.
"Well we do have one more thing to try." Dojima said. "Right Nanako?"
"Yeah, the one we got from you right dad?" Nanako asked. "Um dad, can I ask you something?"
"Sure, what is it Nanako?" Dojima asked while having Junes Dojima switch to Kohryu.
"Why didn't you want to see when Junes Dojima was spending time with me and wanted me not to see him spend time with you?" Nanako asked.
"Huh, you didn't let her see part of the game?" Adachi asked in surprise. "Weren't you two playing together?"
"Nanako, you remember that your cousin is coming in a few days right?" Dojima asked.
"Yeah, oh I get it." Nanako said. "Do you really think so dad?"
"I'm not sure, but right now it's too much of a coincidence to ignore." Dojima said thoughtfully while having Junes Dojima attack shadow Naoto with his sword. "Besides I'm sure you're looking forward to seeing your cousin aren't you?" (2)
"Yeah." Nanako said with a smile.
"I'm missing something aren't I?" Adachi asked.
"Yeah, you are." Dojima said calmly before having Yosuke use Dekaja again. "Actually, it might be a good idea not to attack at all this turn, we still have a few Diamond Shields so for now Chie should use one and Kanji can boost our offense."
"That makes sense, then you can do a lot more damage to the boss on your next turn. Who would have guessed you'd be good at video games Dojima-san." Adachi said with a grin only for Dojima to hit him in the head.
"Ow, what was that for?" Adachi asked.
"I'm not abandoning work to just play games all the time idiot." Dojima said before handing him the controller. "How do you take your coffee?"
"Huh, oh anything's fine Dojima-san." Adachi said calmly.
"Right, you want a cup too Nanako?" Dojima asked with a smile.
"Yeah, lots of cream and sugar please." Nanako said with a smile. (3)
"I know." Dojima said with a small chuckle before preparing the coffee pot.
(The battle with Shadow Naoto is continuing, and an unknown person has given Dojima and Nanako a mysterious notebook. Next chapter the battle will end. As always any reviews or critique is appreciated.)
(1) (Nanako and Dojima maxed out the party social links and their own while playing the game.)
(2) (Dojima is starting to wonder if the game was really a coincidence and so wants to wait and have them learn what the other one is thinking when his nephew arrives instead of assuming the game really is telling them the future, he's suspicious but wants to make sure.)
(3) (In the game Dojima makes the main character coffee and Nanako perks up and requests a cup as well with him stating exactly how she likes it, implying that he's made her coffee before.)
