Ren wasnt sure what was going on right now. Because right now four of the other phantom thieves were standing right in front of Hanzō's shop.

Yusuke and Futaba, Makoto, and Haru.

"What are they doing here?" Morgana asked, confused about why they were here at all."

"I doubt that it's to try some of Hanzō's sushi." Ren told him. It's easy to guess that they somehow found out Ren's location. But who- 'It was Futaba.' Ren thought immediately. "But was she checking my his locations constantly?" Ren asked himself. how was

"It says he's close by." Futaba said, checking her phone.

But why were they here? They shouldn't know anything about what Ren's doing here, much less see a reason to group up to meet him.

"Simple. This is a time precious assignment, and bringing them in when we're halfway into it might be tough." Ren told him.

"We've done that like so many times before at the Palaces." Morgana told bluntly. "And I'd argue that they were way more dangerous."

"I just don't want to be lectured and face Makoto's Fist Of Justice." Ren told him truthfully.

"...That is a good point." Knowing how terrifying the fists of justice are. They've seen them used a thousand times. To enemies and Ryuji after he's done something stupid, and they were not a force to be reckoned with at all. But how do they escape the current situation with their lives in tact.

"But how do we go about this?" Morgana asked Ren. Though both knew they could probably use a Shinobi Kekkei to help them, it would only delay the problem that they were having at the moment. How could they solve this problem. But another issue arises.

,

"Well I think we can hide." Morgana told him.

"Impossible. You knows Futaba tracking me." Ren argued to him.

"Looks like I have no choice." Ren said to himself.

"What the-? He's gone!" Futaba said in surprise.

him. What was he talking about right now?

"Sup." Ren said to them casually. "So, do you guys mind telling me why you're here?"

"We can ask you the same thing." Makoto told him calmly. But Ren could tell that she's angry at him, probably for not telling them about him doing this. Though he did tell Makoto about it bluntly in a manner where she probably thought he's was telling a lie.

"It's just that seeing you four together at an out of the way sushi shop is pretty suspicious." Ren told her. "Almost like you're hiding something secret."

"What would we need to hide from the rest of you?" Makoto pointed out. Though Ren was taking a chance on this plan of his.

"Are you guys on a double date?" Ren asked them.

"I should've realized it from the tension surrounding you four!" Ren told them."I guess Ann wins the bet.

"Wait a second! What bet!?" Makoto asked in a hurry. She didn't want to cause a misunderstanding like that!

"Don't worry about it." Ren told them, before taking out his phone.

"W-wait! Me and Mako-chan aren't like that Ren-kun!" Haru tried to say to him, but Ren already had his phone out by that point.

"Hold on." Yusuke told Ren, before the phone call could be made. "I feel absolutely no attraction to Futaba as a member of the opposite sex. Nor any charms if womanhood from her." Yusuke told Ren calmly. Though Futaba was immediately insulted.

"What was that Inari!?" Futaba yelled, trying to attack Yusuke before Ren started to hold her back.

"Calm down." Ren told her while patting her head, trying to ease her. Thought I'd did cause her to get her to react in a different way than intended, causing her to blush.

"You calm yet?" Ren asked her.

"So if you guys aren't going on a double date, what are you guys doing here?" Ren asked them, feigning ignorance. Though it probably won't have anything to do with

"To find out why you're here." Makoto told him sternly.

"How did you know to check my location?" Ren asked them.

"Do you just check my phone location constantly?" Ren asked her.

"No!"

"..."

"Okay! I do it every once in a while!"

"..."

"Sometimes."

"...…."

"Often..." Futaba admitted to him while looking away.

"There's

"I should probably be mad about this, but at this point, I'm not even disappointed. Just numb."

"Food to know that if I'm ever kidnapped that

"Well she is more like the adorable little sister type." Ren admitted to them before petting Futaba on her head, calming her down. Though it also caused her to blush.

"So I'm guessing that leaves Makoto and Haru." Ren said to them.

"We aren't dating!'" Makoto told him very intensely.

"You know too much protesting is suspicious." Ren told her with a completely straight face.

Haru however had a very serene smile grace her face. She then calmly stated to him,

"Would you like to take a small walk with me, Amamiya-kun?" But that offer was so laced with death threats, that she made everyone flinch.

"Really? So where to? The movies, dinner,

Lets make a date out of it." Ren said tiher calmly.

"A date!?"

"So pretty

"We want to know why you're here." Makoto told him sternly.

"After all, if the Metaverse has returned,then we need to all band together to help."

"That's not the problem." Ren told them. "Its a smaller problem that may quickly spiral out of control if I leave it alone." Ren said to them.

"

. those."

"W-wait! Me and Mako-chan aren't like that Ren-kun!" Haru tried to say to him.

"I'll just leave you crazy kids alone. But a reminder, Yusuke. Break her heart, and I'll break you." Ren said, casually threatening Yusuke.

"

"And what exactly is this place?" Yusuke asked, looking around the area, seeing that no one was around them.

"A Shinobi Kekkei. A alternate space where teen ninja girls do battle and rip each other's clothes off." Ren told them.

"...What?" Futaba asked him flatly.

"I told Makoto some of it already." Ren said to her. "She should've explained it to you by now."

"Wait a minute. That thing about big breasted girls fighting and tearing each other's clothes off was you being serious!?" Makoto exclaimed.

"Yeah." Ren told her. "What did you think it was, sarcasm?"

"...Yes." Makoto told him hesitantly. But there was something about it

"You have done something like that before." Ren-kun.Tell us something ridi

"It's works because you guys have such little faith in meant those times." Ren told her.

"You truly are a..." Makoto started.

"I honestly thought you were doing that thing where you told someone a ridiculous lie in order to get them to stop asking questions."

"They were actually eating futomaki rolls, which were like three inchess thick." Ren said to her.

What,

"You were completely deadpanned about it." Makoto said with an exhausted sigh escaping her lips.

"I'm that way about a lot of things." Ren told her.

"

"...

"And

Yes."

"There's no doubt about it."

"Eh, not really."

"How are you not on some kind of list."

"Uh-huh."

"You truly are the legendary pervert told in stories."

Ren thought that there was a response that didn't belong in there.

"So, what's your relationship with the old perv." Ren asked them, trying to act as if he's not aware of the relationship between the two..

"He's my grandfather." Asuka said while sweat dropping at the old perv comment that he's made, but it seems like she wasn't going to defend him either. Since she is his granddaughter his flaws must be much more obvious to her.

"I'm sorry that you have a grandfather like that." Ren said while bowing his head towards her.

"It's okay." Asuka told him. "He's calmed down in the last week."

"This is him being calm?"' Ren asked her, shocked. What he's like when he's excited. How many sexual harassment suits were made against him?.

"Zero." Asuka told him suddenly out of nowhere.

"Huh?" Ren asked her, confused on why she just said that to him.

"Sorry, it's just that I'm so used to hearing certain questions about him that I instinctively learned to answer with the number zero." Asuka told him. "Though I get the feeling that it isn't the right number." She added with a low mutter.

"Again, I'm sorry for you." Ren told her once more. Asuka could only sigh in response to that.

"Here are some futomaki rolls." Hanzō told them, bringing them the rolls they wanted.

They all then grabbed one and started eating it in a certain way.

Yes."

"There's no doubt about it."

"Eh, not really."

"Uh-huh."

"Fair point. But i have an excellent counterargument." Ren said.

"Let me guess, a double date?" Ren suggested to them. They all looked shocked at the conclusion.

"I can see .I'll have to call Ryuji and Ann to say that I won the bet."

"Wait a second! What bet!?" Makoto asked in a hurry.

"Don't worry about it." Ren told them.

"Hold on." Yusuke told Ren. "I feel absolutely no attraction to Futaba as a member of the opposite sex. Nor any charms if womanhood from her." Yusuke told Ren calmly.

"Right now

"Isn't Kana-chan attending Shujin with you? Why are you looking at my location history when you've got friends?" Ren asked Futaba.
