Ren was still feeling pain from Yomi's massage when he woke up. She was definitely not meant for gentle roles that uses her hands.

"Yep. Going to be feeling this for a while." Ren told himself, picking up his body. Ren then noticed that there was something in his pocket. When Ren took it out and saw what it was, he's was shocked..It was the key to his jail that Lavenza gave him on his final day.

'Guess I'll be going there on my own again soon enough.'

"Well, what are you going to do today?" Morgana asked him. "Just going to see some old friends here." Ren told him.

"Which ones?" Morgana asked him.

"Takemi and Iwai. If I see Kawakami she might tip off Futaba, which would open up a whole new can of worms." Ren said before asking Morgana,

"You coming?" Ren asked him.

"Nah. I',m just going to rest a bit more after that training sessions we had yesterday." Morgana told him before resting on the futon.

Makoto wasn't a girl who was socially capable by any means. That was true in high school and was especially true now that she's in college. She wasn't capable of picking up on the smallest social cues.

Haru Okumura was better than her at it, but she was also having small problems. Like not knowing certain things if the common people. But both were okay with this. As long as they had there friends, they both knew that they'd be fine for now.

However they soon got a call from a fellow Phantom Thief about a strange matter.

"Ren's in tokyo?" Makoto asked in disbelief. Futaba just texted her and some of the others about this fact. Though she was doubtful about it. He's not the type to let his presence go unknown by his friends.

Futaba: He's somewhere in Asakusa, but the strange thing is that he's occasionally disappearing sometimes.

Haru: Maybe his phone died?

Futaba: No. I'd still be able to track it. And it sometimes cuts back to being trackable. The only time it's ever done something like that is if he's going to Mementos.

Yusuke: Did it return?

Ryuji: Even if it did, what would he need to do there?

It's something that he's taking care of by himself, so he's trying to take the burden all by himself again. Makoto gritted her teeth in annoyance. He's always like this. Working harder than everyone else, doing things to help them without telling them what it is. He never relies on them when he should! It was truly an annoying trait if his. Why was he like that? It was hard for her to understand.

But while she was thinking this,

Futaba: But it's strange. The nav isn't back on my phone, and when I checked his, there wasn't anything strange in it at all.

Ryuji: Maybe we should just call him?

Makoto: I'll do it.

Makoto then decided to call him.

"Ren, do you mind telling me what you're doing right now?" She asked him. Maybe she'll get a clue about what's going on here.

"Why do you want to know?" Ren asked her.

"Oh! I-I'm just curious about how you're doing. Ya know?"

"I'm training to fight a group of hot big breasted ninja girls whose clothes get destroyed when they take damage." Ren said to her. deadpanned at her.

Or maybe he'll do that thing where he says something ridiculous as a distraction and lies. It must be something serious if he's not being upfront about it. But Makoto will have to push forward and try to get a straight answer out of him.

"Where are you right now?" Makoto asked him. There bo way that Ren could day anything that she couldn't confirm right now.

"In a sushi shop watching an old man feeding them his' sushi' to his granddaughter's and her friends if you know what I mean." Ren told her.

"W-what!?" Makoto repeated in shock.

"But they're all enjoying it." Ren told her. "They're gladly licking and sucking on it right now. It's honestly quite a sight." She then heard what sounded like Ren turning around on a squeaky swivel chair. "I asked if it wasn't too big for her, but she apparently likes it thick."

"If it ain't thick it's no good!" She heard a female voice say out loud, moaning all the while. Is this actually happening in real life!?

"I-I see! Well goodbye!" Makoto said, quickly hanging up the phone Ren watching some old man doing it with a harem that included his granddaughter!? How could this have happened!? She had to tell the others immediately!

But Makoto was then left wondering why Ren was watching it in the first place.

Makoto: I think Ren's watching an old man have sex with his grandaughter.

This caused the chat to be silent for a few moments.

Ryuji: The shit!?"

Futaba: Okay, what is he doing here!? Because it sounds like he's watching a hentai scenario play out in real life right now!.;

Yusuke: Indeed. But such a sight of human on human contact between familial bonds, while completely abhorrent, would most likely make for an interesting aight.

Ryuji: You two are missing the point!

Makoto: He's also said that he's in a sushi shop.

Futaba: Hold on. Let me check.

After a few minutes she came back with something.

Futaba: There is a sushi shop at Ren's current location, and the reviews for it are mostly about the old guy who runs it.

Haru: What are they?

Futaba:......

Futaba: It's better if you didn't know.

Ryuji: I don't think I can get there in time to help.

Ryuji: I'm supposed to have a session today and I can't miss a single one.

Futaba: Anyways, me and Yusuke will check out his locations ourselves.

Haru: I think me and Mako-chan can join you.

Yusuke: Really? How?

Haru: I think I can get us there soon enough.

Haru Okumura never really experienced a childhood. She didn't really have any true friends in her life for that matter. But that all changed the day that she met the Phantom Thieves of Hearts.

The day that Haru realized her feelings for him was day she didn't expect him to. It was the day that she decided to speak for herself. But unfortunately Ren didn't feel the same as her.

It wasn't an outright rejection, but hearing him say that he thought of her as a friend caused her to feel a variety of emotions at once. And when she thought that the person that she liked was dealing with something on his own, she felt like she should immediately leap into action.

Maybe this was just her being the clingy girl, but right now Haru didn't care.

But right now, she was piloting a helicopter.

"Uh, Haru, are you sure you know how to fly this thing?" Makoto asked her nervously, knowing that her driving on the road was less than ideal. She couldn't begin to imagine what she was like in the air.

"Oh, I took some lessons." Haru told her casually with a smile on her face. "I'm certain that I can get us to the helicopter pad at Okumura Food's quickly and safely enough. As long as we don't see any air police, we'll be fine."

"Wait. What?" Makoto asked worriedly before Haru started the vehicle and rising into the air without.

The ride was actually pretty casual. It was smoother than her driving was by far. It was only a matter of peaceful amount of time until they reached their destination.

"It's kind of sad that we didn't see anything else along the way. I've always end up seeing birds when I do it before." Haru told her.

"Really?" Makoto asked her. She never knew Haru had an interest in birds before.

"I've seen some eagles and Hawks before. Along with some cranes and even a couple of vultures." Haru told her with a smile on her mouth.

Makoto wanted to say something, but she didn't feel safe doing it.

"Anyways, we should meet up with Futaba and Yusuke soon." Makoto said, dexiding to try to change the topic. Haru nodded in agreement.

"Yes. Though I should probably tell them that I'm using the pad." Haru told her.

Ren right now was doing Iwai a favor. Working at his shop a bit while he's taking a short break. Just like old times. "Here's your payment, Iwai told him, handing over a bag that had a few model guns in them, all of great quality. Just earlier he's was at Takemi's clinic, surprising her for a quick visit. REN then bought off some medicine for her.

"Need anything more?" Iwai asked him.

"This'll be enough for me." Ren told him.

"Heh, it's your call." Iwai told him before getting back to reading his latest gun magazine. "Go get em, kid."

I am Thou….Thou Art I

The Hanged Man Arcana has once

Again answered your call….

Let us fly together on our wings of freedom

Ren's day was actually surprisingly filled with meeting some of his confidants, like Shinya before he's arrived here,

"Shinya?" Ren said, surprised to see that the boy who once wore a stoked hat was no longer wearing it.

"Ren?" Shinya said, equally shocked.

They then proceeded to talk for a little while, Shinya asked him if he's doing something important for the phantom thieves. Ren responded by telling him that it was more if a solo mission, which gave Ren's Shinya's support.

He's also met CHihaya, and Yoshida, both giving him their support despite not knowing what's going on. Though Chihaya did a reading for him that said, "His love life will certainly be unique.

Ren then saw that a certain grey haired girl appeared in front of him.

Yumi was walking to the hotel from the nearest store. Her teammates were still injured but

"Ah, Yumi," Ren said, looking at the girl in front of him. She looked surprised, stepping back from him.

"Calm down." Ren told her. "I'm not going to fight you here."

"You can't expect me to believe the words of a twisted thief can you?" Yumi responded to him. She would've dragged him into a Shinobi Kekkei but there were too many bystanders around them. Just taking this stance alone had already gotten her looks from people.

"No, but I expect you to at least believe my actions." Ren told her casually before walking away from the scene trying to leave Yumi alone.

"Wait." She said, grabbing his shoulder with her right hand. Ren looked back at her, not with confusion, but more, dull shock at her decision. Yumi looked at him with eyes full on intense resolution leaving Ren to make once guess about what was going to hapoen

"Let me guess, you're going to keep trying to fight me?" Ren said to her.

"No, not here." Yumi told her. Besides, my team needs me to bring them these groceries.'

"I just want to know what you're after." Yumi said, glaring at him. "You've followed us all the way here, battled one of us, and left her alive." Yumi told her. "What I want to know is why?"

"Why?" Ren repeated after her. "Simple. I'm a thief, and what I attend to steal," Ren then leaned forward into her face, their eyes meeting directly,"is your heart." Yumi then blushed from the declaration before backing away. "Enough with your shamelessness!"

"No, I'm simply doing what I've done before. Taking hearts and changing ways." Ren said to her. "Though since I've given you a warning, I guess this is my calling card. You're heart is mine tomorrow." Ren said, pointing a finger gun at her and pulling the trigger.

"Are you all healed up?" Yumi asked them. They were all sitting around their store bought bento dinners with canned juice on the side.

"I'm feeling at one hundred percent." Yozakura told her confidently.

"I could take on any enemy that stands in my way." Murakumo told her.

"I, can like fight a ton more~" Shiki told her playfully.

"I always have enough energy to play!" Minori told her excitedly.

"Good." Yumi told them. "Because tomorrow we'll be going after Hebijo." Yumi told them.

"So they'll be at Hebijo by tomorrow?" Ren asked him. hanzō had received information from some called Wang Pai, a person that Ren suspected was Hanzō in disguise. Why, because it could have also be read as Ouhai, which sounds similar to Oppai.

But Ren digressed. If Hanzō wanted to act as a perverted teacher then who was he to tell him that he couldn't? After all, his homeroom teacher spent a good amount of time dressed as a maid around him. But there was something else bothering him more. A question that needed to be asked.

"Why are we having this conversation in the adult section of a video shop?" Ren asked him.

"We needed to be somewhere where they wouldn't find us."

"But anyone who knows you for more than five minutes could probably guess that this is where you would be." Ren pointed out to him.

"But since it's so obvious that I'd be here, they wouldn't think that I, a legendary Shinobi, would chose to come here and hide." Hanzō countered. Ren wasn't able to form a counterargument for that.

"Another question, why are you only picking up the videos that focus on boobs." Ren asked him again, seeing that Hanzō was only picking up things that focused on boobs first, everything else. "There's a whole selection of videos that you could pick, but you're choosing the boob related ones, seriously? What about some cosplay or anal?"

"Simple. Do you know what was always in front of man since they've crawled on all fours as baby?" Hanzō asked him. "The butt. So when we all start walking on two legs, we stopped having butts sticking in our faces all the time. And in their place boobs appeared right in our faces. Women grow larger breasts to take the place of buttocks. Boobs are the greatest version! An absolute improvement! If you asked me if I want the original or an improvement of course I'd want the improvement!" Hanzō said to him, passionately.

"Okay. So you're a bigger perv than I thought." Ren said to him after a while.

Le Lele

But when we all started b original

"Anyways, what'll we do about them?" Ren asked him, referring to the problem that he was brought in for.

"Since there targeting Hebijo academy, then you'll probably be fine." Hanzō told him.

"Why?" Ren asked him.

"It's most likely that they'll set up Shinobi Kekkei all over the academy to prevent further damage to it." Hanzō told him. "After the repairs made to it, it's be smart to think that.

"So what should we do about Asuka and the rest of them?"

"I see. They can be a problematic variable right now." Hanzō said in agreement.

"Let's just let them walk their own paths."
