43ra: No it is not. This was updated on the FOURTEENTH. And I said there would be another chapter this month. Then next month, when it is one upload a month again, the chapters will be posted BETWEEN the 14th and the 19th. I make it very clear with these sort of statements. Please read them correctly.

adamse0530: Well, also to quote everyone's favorite demon hunter... Let's Rock!

kombatant88: I... genuinely have NO idea what you are talking about. The fuck's the Adult Confidant AU?

strikerstriker315: She wasn't. We said multiple times, last time he only got most of his confidants to 8 at most.

Guest chapter 33 Apr 15: Well femdom, female freedom. Those ideas kinda go hand in hand rather easily.

Zeromaru Chaos Mode: Sorry for hitting your phobia.
Arachne in Greek myth rebelled against the gods, not just in claiming her great skill but showing how terrible the gods where. Only to be punished for it and causing Arachne to punish herself further by ending her own life only to gain new freedom as a Spider. This, honestly, nearly perfectly mirror's Kawakami's position of being a teacher and helping a teacher only for something bad to happen, for her to be punished (the money situation by her students relatives) and for her to punish herself for it (her self loathing and working herself to the bone), only to gain a new freedom as a Phantom Thief and pushing herself to be the best teacher she could be.

Neo Infinity: She is from Greek myth. The origin of spiders. A talented seamstress who claimed her work was better than even Athena's.
The goddess challenged her to a contest.
Arachne wove a tapestry showing how terrible the gods where. Their cruelty, their terrible actions, Zeus sticking his dick in literally everything.
Athena was pissed and ripped Arachne's work apart, both at Arachne's skill but also what she revealed.
Ashamed by the whole situation, Arachne hung herself
Feeling guilty, Athena turned Arachne into the first spider.

MercenaryGrax: I love how high and mighty you come across in your response. Intentional or no, I "I found it more amusing than anything". "Buuut, because you decided to make such responses, I figured I'd say one last thing before blocking you. :P"
Yeah, see how that comes across? Anyway.

Two years. With conversations taking place on different days in different places then they did in the first pass through. And have you SEEN how much he has to remember, especially when he only got to Rank 8 with everyone at best? In Persona 5 the Confidants, at least in the early stages, where agreements of circumstance, not about the bonds of friendship. And while, yes, those DID grow over time. Rank 8 is just good friends, not the blood packed best friends most important people in your life level. And, again, you seen all the insane shit SURROUNDING this situation?
Especially since he needed to FOCUS on those key points for the Sae interrogation the first time round?
Also, your example of yourself to counter mine and Ghost's examples of myself? That just shows it is different for each person. Especially since he remembers the core feelings and meaning of the conversation and moments, not the exact events that happened.

And, again, when Ghost and I have people literally calling us and our stories stupid, we defend ourselves. We give 'fuck yous' to people being assholes. So we countered your points trying to strike up a conversation, something we LIKE doing with our readers. And when Ghost and I have reasons and arguments for why things are the way they are, which work with the stories internal logic, that is not an outright flaw, it is something you do not enjoy and is a difference in opinion about execution.

But seeing how immature and self-righteous you are with not just this review and the one before, but ones you have given other people, "I feel no need to continue giving you a chance". I am gonna be blocking you, like I know Ghost has.
"Gotta admit, though, that your responses rather amused me. So thanks for a good laugh. :P"
Again, see how that comes across? VERY douche.

FenreldStormblade: No. Maybe some design influence, but not a crossover.

Shooting Star Dragon 3000: Yeah... mind your step dude. Looks like you might be getting tangled.

The Avenging Titan: TOO MANY K's!

Here are some reviews answered by Ghost:

adamse0530: Thanks very much dude.

kombatant88: We had to throw some Jojo in there somewhere.

MashiroNguyen: Someone's excited. chuckle

UltimateCCC: Laughs Yeah, I can only imagine what that conversation will be like.

Zeromaru Chaos Mode: I apologise that our use of Arachne has triggered you, it wasn't our intention to cause any distress. As for why Arachne? Well, it was mostly because it was a character that went against the gods, someone going against the laws of being 'better than them'.

Alaster1428: Ah, we had a lot of time to think of the code name, though 'Widow' and 'Madame' seemed to fit, we went for something a little more subtle.

kurokitsune028: Thanks mate, your kind words help.

the metaphysical god of heroes: Oh, we've got a Persona for Tae. And one that makes way more sense than a spider-woman.

FenreldStormblade: Okay, accurate, but no. That's Rachnera, Arachne is the name of the sub-species of Spider in Monster Musume. But this Arachne is based on the Mythological Arachne from Greece, the basis of all spiders.

Cooperjordan: Thank you very much.

Shooting Star Dragon 3000: You're not the only one mate. nods

The Avenging Titan: There are a lot of 'K' named villains in P5.

Disclaimer: We do not own Persona 5. That belongs to Atlus.

Persona 5 New Game Plus, Joker's Second Chance
Chapter 34
Reporter, Shogi, Lovers & Questions


It was the following day, Ren was still feeling the stress of yesterday's excursion to the Palace... There was no way he was going to do anything strenuous for the next couple of days. He left the café, seeing texts that Kawakami had sent him last night.

"Thank you for saving me."
"I will do what I can to help, though I don't know if it's much."
"Don't get too much on me, I'm not sure how I am in a fight."
"Please don't do anything stupid on my part."

Ren smiled softly, slipping his phone away. He rolled his shoulders a little as he went downstairs to the cafe. "Morning, Sojiro."

"Afternoon, Ren. You slept well." Sojiro joked.

"That I did." he nodded "What about you and Futaba?"

"She's sleeping like a log still." Sojiro answered. "Whatever happened yesterday really tuckered her out."

"Damn." He mumbled

"Any plans for today?" the older man asked.

"I've got some things planned." Ren answered.

"I see. Try and stay out of trouble; okay?" Sojiro asked.

"I plan too." Ren answered as he took a spoonful of curry "Hmmm~, good batch."

"Thank you. You've not had breakfast; have you?" He asked

"No... I haven't." Ren shook his head.

...

"sigh Dig in." Sojiro sighed

Ren smiled a little and sat down, beginning to eat the curry that was there and it was the perfect start of the day

'Whoa, that boy has an appetite.' Sojiro thought in shock, seeing how fast he was eating before Ren went out

"... At least wash the-Never mind." Sojiro sighed.


*time skip*

We follow Ren outside where he felt like he should buy some materials for the Thieves. They where running low on supplies. So time to go see his doctor girlfriend... So weird to think that. He shook his head and headed inside the clinic, where Tae was working behind her desk again.

"Hello Doctor Takemi." He smiled

"Ah, Ren. I haven't seen you in a while. Come for a checkup or medicine?" She responded, smiling at him.

"Both?" He joked

Tae chuckled as a response, looking at him as she exited the medicine room. "Very well. You know what to do." She winked.

"Right." He nodded, soaking through

'I wonder what her medicine will turn out to be?' He thought as he sat down on the chair in her office.

"I'm going to check your vitals and your muscles. I don't want you to be slacking off now." Tae commented.

"Of course not... I should mention, I've just eaten." Ren added.

"I'll take that into account." Tae answered. "Now, let's begin." As she brought out some experimental medicine.

Ren looked down at the vial, taking a sip. The medicine was a little bitter... not bad, not bad. "Hey, it's not-"

THUMP!

Ren fell unconscious.

Click.

"Now, we wait." She spoke.

Some minutes passed as Ren slowly got accustomed to the medicine, even feeling his mind come back to him and pushed himself back up to his feet. "Whoa... that hit hard." He admitted, holding his head.

Tae walked over and began to examine Ren's eyes and vitals. "Uh-huh. Responsive eyes. Blood pressure is normal. You're fine."

"Thank goodness." Ren sighed in relief, still feeling stiff. "It'd be awkward if my doctor/girlfriend caused me health problems."

"Very true." She smiled and chuckled. "You seem to be a bit tense. Have you been doing any intense exercises recently."

"You can say that." He answered. "Just the other day, honestly."

"Hmm. Alright." She responded, looking at him. "Would you like an apple? One of my patients gave me one."

"Oh, no thank you." He answered.

"Hello, Dr Tameki." A man's voice spoke as it brazenly entered her clinic room.

"C-Chief Oyamada." She turned and was stunned to see her former employer walk in, wearing his smartest suit and his briefcase.

"There was a medical conference in town and I thought I'd check up on you." He responded before he turned to Ren. "Who's this? He doesn't seem like a patient."

"He's a part-time staffer. I hire him for miscellaneous tasks." Tae lied. "Do you have business with me?"

"I hear that you stole one of my patients. A girl with bronchitis. She came in here with her father." Oyamada answered, almost threateningly.

"'Bronchitis', you say?" Tae played dumb, scratching the back of her head. "I had no intention of 'stealing' her from you. And I certainly didn't encourage her to visit my clinic."

"Now there's talk that the care at a university hospital is inferior to that of a 'General Practitioner'!" Mr Oyamada snapped. "'Original Medicine'? HA! What you're doing is simply absurd!"

"... You're... right." She frowned, lowering her head.

'Wh-what the hell?' Ren thought as he saw this.

"I would've turned a blind eye if you had just rotted away in this little town!" He pointed at her. "... This is your final warning." He composed himself. "Shut this place down and resign your medical license."

"You can't!" Ren stood up. "She's a great doctor!"

Mr Oyamada turned a stern angry glare at Ren. "What did you say?"

Tae chuckled as she saw her boyfriend stand up for her. "Heh... don't worry about it." She told Ren.

"Perhaps I should tell you this woman's real identity, as you seem to be quite fond of her." Mr Oyamada commented, then pointed at her. "This monster tortured patients with unregulated medicine!"

Ren's eyes widened under his glasses as he heard that... this bastard was running his mouth off! The venom in his voice was surprising, almost horrifying "You..."

"Terrible isn't it? She was such a brave girl... always smiling." Mr Oyamada frowned.

"Shut up!" Ren snarled

"What're you talking about?" Tae asked.

"She passed away." Mr Oyamada answered simply.

"Wh-what?" Tae asked in shock.

"You'll probably suffer the same fate. After all, she is the Plague after all." He chuckled darkly, feeling superior.

"I SAID, SHUT UP!" Ren snapped protectively

"You're lying. She still had time!" Tae stomped forward toward Oyamada. "She was slowly recovering. Her condition couldn't have deteriorated that quickly!"

"But it did, you must've misjudged," Oyamada answered. "Now, back to the reason that I'm here. Don't ever take my patients away from me again." His eyes turned dark and glared at Tae. "You don't want to make me angry. Good day, Plague." As he walked out, leaving on that last note.

Tae was stunned, though still on her feet until he left and she fell to the floor. "M-Miwa is... dead?" She whispered with a broken heart. "N-no. No, no. She was all I've been working toward all this time. Curing her was my only..."

"Tae." Ren knelt down and helped her up. "Don't lose hope." And helped her to the table.

"What have I been doing all this time? What was even the point?" Tae whispered, falling into herself. "I can't..."

"Is there anything I can do?" He asked, holding her head in his hands to make eye contact.

...

"Be here for me?" She asked weakly, clearly ashamed to even ask

He nodded, sitting next to her and held her hand. There was no need for words. He was going to be here for her. He sat next to her, taking her hand in his

"This is..." she mumbled, holding his hand "I'm the adult. You shouldn't have to be doing this."

"I know. But I want to." He answered reassuringly, squeezing her hand gently "Just because you are an adult, doesn't mean you aren't a person. The world can be shit. Everyone needs some support every now and again. And if you care about someone, you'll be there to at least try to support them during those moments."

She sniffed gently and wiped her eye as she heard that. "Thanks."

"Anytime." he urged "... I am still going to support you." he added "I am still going to be here for you, I will still help you and I will still do whatever you need me to."

"Even after what you just heard?" She asked.

"Even after what I just heard." He nodded, to which she rested her head on his shoulder.

"... Only had one partner as good as you. And she left me because we both wanted to focus on our carrier, and she needed to look after her little sister." Tae admitted

"Do you miss her?" He asked, not feeling jealous but wanted to know more about her.

"Sometimes." Tae admitted "I'd miss her more if we had kept in touch, honestly. But Sae and I just grew apart as we focused on our carriers."

"Oh... Oka-" Ren nodded before he froze. "'Sae'?"

"Sae Nijima." She answered and nodded in his shoulder. "She was my first girlfriend, honestly. We where sharing a boyfriend, experimenting in college. But he was more of just a dick, honestly. We tried but it was more Sae and I dating than all three of us."

Ren's jaw dropped as he heard that... Makoto's sister was Tae's ex-girlfriend?! Oh boy.

"I'm... sorry. That your ex-boyfriend was a dick." He gulped nervously.

"Don't worry about it." Tae answered, nuzzling on his shoulder. "He wasn't THAT had."

"Oh, okay." He nodded and hugged her close as he tried to think of... Well, something to say

"Thank you. For being here with me." She muttered, looking up at him and kissed him on the lips.

"Anytime." He smiled "I know we don't get to spend much time together with the age difference and school and trying to keep this a secret... But you are very special to me, Tae."

"Thank you, Ren. I know how busy you can be." She answered. "So I can wait."

He nodded, kissing her

Death: Rank 7

"You should head home now. I'll be alright." Tae commented, breaking the kiss after a few minutes.

"You sure?" He asked, his hand brushing her thigh

"I... Hmm~." She purred, liking the brushing motion and then held his hips "Maybe another time." She smiled and kissed him "Also... Speak to Ann and Shiho. They need some 'check ups'."

"Of course, I'll tell them." He responded, her letting him go and let him off the table as he tried not to imagine what might happen

"I'll see you later." Each waved and had Ren leave.

'Oh boy.' He thought as he left as he wondered what the hell the three might do.


*Time Skip*

"I concede." Ren sighed, seeing the absolute decimation on the shogi board before him

"The Queen has conquered yet another enemy who dares walk upon her land!" Hifumi proclaimed excitedly as she played into the fantasy

"All honour to the Queen." Ren said dramatically with a bow, loving the playful relationship he for have with her

"Thank you, thank you." Hifumi played it up and smiled as she came back down to Earth. "Ah~, this was fun. Thank you, Ren."

"Anytime. Besides, I learn more in each lesson." Ren responded "One day, I will beat you."

"I'd welcome the challenge." She smiled, before sighing.

"Hey, are you okay?" He asked the beautiful shogi player

"Yeah... no. Some of my Shogi seniors think I have a boyfriend and think I don't take playing the game seriously." She explained.

"Of COURSE you take the game seriously!" he blinked in shock

"Thank you; I need to say this. The more attention I have in my matches, the more enemies I make, it's like a never-ending cycle for rumour and gossip." Hifumi responded.

"What?" he asked with a small frown and disgust

"It's... probably odd to say this, to compare myself to them. But I wonder if it's the same thing for the Phantom Thieves?"

"What do you mean?" He asked, seeing she was bouncing about.

"People are divided about them on the internet. Some admire them, some hate them. But I can't help but see the similarities between us." Hifumi explained.

Ren was silent, looking down quietly

"What do you think of them, Ren?" She asked.

"... I think they're cool." He answered.

"Oh, I see. I think it's admirable that people root for them, even if others criticize them for it." Hifumi responded.

"Really?"

"Yes, they give me courage. But... I'm unsure how they change a person's heart. When their victories can't be won alone. I'm interested in it from a tactical standpoint. I'm sorry, I'm going off-topic." She apologised. "I feel like I've become more talkative as of late. I usually don't talk this much."

"That's good; right?"

"It is. You're more than just someone I practice new moves on; you're someone I can confide in." Hifumi answered. "If you don't mind, I'd like to talk with you again."

Star: Rank 4

"Yeah, of course." Ren answered. "It sounds nice."

Hifumi nodded as she looked at Ren, and she had to admit... he WAS an amazing guy. "Thank you, Ren. For being my friend." Hifumi mumbled.

"It's no problem. I enjoy our time together." Ren responded. "Do you want another game?"

"If that's alright with you." She nodded.

"Of course, Hifumi." He said, admittedly imagining what she would look like as a Phantom Thief

She thought she would wear long-legged trousers, a long-tailed jacket split with a 'V', a white frilled shirt and a shogi-piece as a clip white gloves and an opera mask as her own.

Rather dramatic and kinda beautiful

She chuckled to herself as she thought about it. Though she wasn't sure about her Phantom Thief name.

"So, shall we begin?" Ren asked.

"Huh? Oh, yes. We shall." She answered.


*Time Skip*

Ren was walking back home to LeBlanc, after that full half-day worth of excitement with Tae and Hifumi, he wanted to go home and relax.

Both where very beautiful women now that he thought of that.

'Oh, dang it. What am I going to do? I'm already committed to one of them and... sheesh. How does manga make it look easy?' He thought to himself. 'And how the FUCK are all the ladies I know drop dead gorgeous?!'

He rubbed his head and then his eyes as he couldn't quite comprehend the cosmic karmic retribution that he knew all these beautiful women. It couldn't have been That; that's just silly.

"Night Morgana." He commented

"G'night, Ren." Morgana yawned. "You playboy." He smirked before nestling in his spot.

"Hey, what's that supposed to mean!" Ren called playfully

Morgana just yawned and fell to sleep, leaving Ren on his own.

"Bastard." Ren laughed as he fell to sleep, and almost falling into the Velvet Room, the actual one.

The clocktower Velvet Room

"Ah, Trickster. Hello." Igor smiled as he saw the young man

"Igor. It's been a while." Ren spoke as he saw him and smiled back. "Lavenza... Looking nice as always."

"Thank you, Ren. But should you really be flirting?" She smirked back, blushing with her book over her chest.

"Who says I am flirting?" He laughed lightly

"Cheeky." She mumbled with a brighter blush.

"It seems you've radically changed things this time around, Trickster." Igor smiled, though it looked more like his normal face.

"... I know." Ren grumbled "I was wondering when we would have this sort of talk."

"Of course. Please sit. Tell us what's on your mind." Igor gestured to the chair.

Ren nodded as he took his seat, removing his thief mask "Everything... All the events have shifted SO much and so completely. I mean... The Principal didn't even HAVE a palace last time. He was wandering Mementos, which is where Aketchi killed him. Right?"

"That is correct, your actions have accelerated certain events. Stopping Kaneshiro early on made it so that Ms Niijima awakened in a different way, awakening her to a more 'truer self'." Igor answered.

"You mean the first time around, how she blew up at Kaneshiro and it felt kind of hollow," Ren responded.

"Exactly." Igor nodded. "Kobayakawa always *had* a Palace lurking inside of him, but it needed a catalyst to form. With the gluttonous palace destroyed, it left a power vacuum in Mementos that needed to be filled."

"Jeez, how twisted was he?" Ren asked and ran his hand through his hair.

"Quite twisted; after all, he hired Kamoshida." Lavenza answered. "And defended him."

"... Right." Ren nodded

"Bit your changes have also benefited many more. Changing Shiho's and Ms Kawakami's futures into something more defined." Igor reassured.

"More defined?"

"Before, Sadeyo Kawakami would have continued being a teacher but not as harassed from what you have helped her. And Shiho would have gone through several months of intense rehabilitation and moved. But now? Both of their self esteem has been enhanced as well as their confidence."

Igor explained "You gave them the fire, the rebellions spirit, only a Persona user has. The inner confidence which will push them forwards to the very end. Before? They could have been pushed down once more by the pressures of life and of others. But now they have an eternal reminder of their inner strength."

"And as for Makoto... You helped her in a new way." Lavenza added "You helped her grow closer than ever to the team. And you helped shatter her over reliance on authority figures. The first time there was that lingering feeling obedience, fleeting and could grow again as she grew older. But now she has a solid foundation to give trust to people, not positions."

"Oh, that makes sense now." Ren admitted. "Thanks."

"Unfortunately they are not the only change." Igor added

"I know. I've made a lot of changes this time." Ren frowned, thinking about the other people who he's reached out to.

"What is with these new Persona?" He asked "Why did I never see them before? Even in Mementos?"

"Those Personas were hidden away, locked and lost within the seas of the hearts of those you've saved." Igor answered. "Aspects of humanity you had not seen without the change in history."

"I guess that makes sense." Ren responded. "Meaning... There might be more to come?"

"Possibly." Lavenza admitted

"We are in new territory, Trickster. And the Social Links you have made at great speeds are astonishing." Igor added.

"Well, I know that some are easier than others. Not to disrespect anyone." Ren answered.

"Of course not. But you've been pushing your stamina and limits to their breaking point." Igor answered.

"And collecting all those Persona for my other halves? I'm honestly... happy." Lavenza added, walking towards him and sat on his lap.

"I already had most of them saved. And what's a few thousand yen to help those two?" He smiled

"Very true." She nodded. "I was afraid when you were almost caught by the Reaper."

"Yeah." Ren nodded... Before his eyes widened "Wait, you where watching us?!"

"Lavenza has been keeping a close eye on you, Trickster." Igor explained.

"I wanted to make sure you were safe." Lavenza answered. "I wasn't jealous or curious about how far you got with Panther or the others." She blushed.

Ren blinked with a blush, unsure what to say

She leaned into his ear and whispered. "I thought it was kind of hot." making Ren blush brighter "It reminds me of stories my older sisters told me. About the times they... 'sinned'..."

"Oh, so...this is 'normal' for your family?" He asked

"It should NOT be." Igor sighed "But you Tricksters have a profound effect on them."

Ren chuckled awkwardly at that. "Sorry, Igor." He apologised before Lavenza kissed him on the cheek.

"I wonder when my sisters will visit." she commented

"Hmm. I'd like to meet them too." Ren nodded, wanting to genuinely meet them.

"Hopefully my brother doesn't visit at the same time. Pour Theo." Lavenza added

"I take it he's the 'little brother' of the family?" He asked nervously.

"I am younger than him, yes. But both Margret and Elizebeth enjoy teasing him." she nodded calmly

"Ah, okay." He responded "... Do you like my legs as a chair?"

"Very, very comfy." she nodded happily

"Good. Good." He nodded, though he felt the feeling leave them.

"You have to be careful, Trickster. The path that you're on will continue to change and progress." Igor warned him.

"Yeah, I'm sure." he nodded, feeling Lavenza wiggle in his lap... GOD he wished Igor wasn't here!

"Perhaps you would like some time alone with Lavenza. After all, it has been some time since you two were together." Igor offered. "And I do not really wish to see what might happen."

"Really Master? Thank you!" Lavenza smiled before he vanished in a puff of smoke

"... Wow, he's more reasonable than-" Ren blinked in shock before Lavenza kissed him. "HMM?!"

"H-hmm~, ah!" Lavenza gasped as she broke the kiss and gasped as she felt her heart flutter. "I've been wanting to do that for months."

"I... See." He gulped, licking his lips

"I was... so jealous seeing you with Panther." She panted, almost having little hearts in her eyes. "And the time with the doctor. And your first time with Panther."

"Oh, okay. Well, I should make it up to you; right? Be warned... I'm not the best at this." Ren responded.

"From what I've seen? You are better than you think. And you are getting better." She blushed

Ren saw how Lavenza was and held her close, kissing her back as he slipped his hands down her blue dress from behind. He noticed a few things, from how she moved. More submissive than Tae and Ann

'She's so small... I can hold her in my arms... this feeling is new.' He thought to himself, feeling himself harden as he continued to kiss her and felt the zip on her dress. He found the zip near the back of her neck, slowly lowering it.

Lavenza seemed to shudder from it, feeling the zip come undone. Soon the zipper reached the bottom, Ren removing her dress and revealing everything underneath. Though she was a small woman, Lavenza looked like a porcelain doll with C-Cup breasts that were proportional to her height. She was still wearing her near elbow length black silk gloves, her shoes, her knee high white socks and her black bloomers

"Whoa." He whispered as he gazed upon her.

"Am I... too small?" She asked nervously, clearly self conscious

"No, of course not." He responded as he kissed her neck "You're perfect the way you are."

Lavenza felt her heart flutter, feeling his kisses on her neck as she began to 'stretch' from excitement. She squealed internally as she felt being special... is this what her sisters felt like before?

Ren carefully removed Lavenza's bloomers, leaving her in just her gloves and knee highs with her shoes. Slipping a hand between them, he began to gently finger her. Running his finger across her dripping slit.

"E-Eee!" She squeaked once again, feeling Ren's finger tease her. Something she wanted for so long. "R-Ren." She whispered

"I think that's the first time you said my name." He whispered, wrapping his lips around her nipple and sucking

Lavenza gasped as she felt his lips teasing her bosoms, feeling her nipples teased by his tongue while also having her globes massaged.

"I like it." Ren added, switching nipples

"Ah-ha~!" She gasped again, the switch being welcomed and she could feel something hot and thick growing under Ren's trousers. "Ren!" She repeated

Peaking from his trousers, Ren's member poked and rested on Lavenza's exposed slit, feeling its warmth and wet lips almost inviting him in. His thief cloths having moved by his thought alone, freeing himself

Lavenza could feel it, she could feel his member wanting to enter her Palace...and she wanted him to plunder her treasure.

"My heart is already yours, my trickster." She urged. Ren smiled internally as he positioned himself... and felt the slight resistance of Lavenza's flower, but he pushed in and felt her hymen slowly open. "A-Ah~!"

He was shocked she even HAD a hymen, honestly

"A-A bit. Further. Please!" She moaned as she was being teased by Ren's dick, wanting more of him inside of her.

"Right." He assured, biting her neck softly and lowering her further into his member

Lavenza gasped as she could feel him inside of her, the warmth and girth of the Trickster. He was fully inside of her now, and her body ached for it to begin. Considering her smaller size, he felt so much bigger to her.

Push~!

Lavenza's eyes widened as she felt his length inside of her, her hips bucked as she could feel Ren inside of her warm flower; this was amazing, a new sensation as she almost bounced on his hips. She never imagined this was even possible!

"You feel amazing, Lavenza." Ren gasped, hugging her waist while his hands were on her ass, grinding his hips against hers as he could feel deep inside of her. "So small but cute." He added, rocking her hips up and down slowly

Lavenza gasped and began to weep a little, but these were tears of joy. She was so happy she could be with her Trickster. She has been dreaming of this for so long. To sin with her Trickster, to become one with him in such a way! Ren's member pulsed within her with each thrust, kissing her womb as she bounced on his dick. She used her hips as well as she could, rolling her hips in circles while she used her thighs to quickly move her hips up and down as best she could.

"Oh, god! Lavenza!" Ren gasped, feeling great and unknown to both of them...his eyes flashed yellow for a moment.

"Trickst-Ren! Ren!" She panted, her thighs pushing her body faster and faster

"Lavenza! I-I'm cumming!" He gasped, hugging her close. He gripped her ass tightly, taking over as he began to literally slam her up and down his cock harder than ever

Lavenza's mouth opened as her body became limp and let her breasts bounce with each thrust. "C-Cum. Inside. I want it! I want to cum!"

SLAP!
SLAP!
SLAP!
SLAP!

"Fuck! Fuck fuck fuck! Lavenza!" Ren grunted after a few more harsh thrusts before holding her tight against his crotch, filling her with his cum

Lavenza let out a passionate and purely lustful moan, feeling her womb fill with his Trickster seed. She was cumming, for the first time ever

Ren, however, was filling her with his seed. It was amazing to fill her with so much of what she wanted. And honestly... it felt great. He held her tight against him, hearing her mumbling as she was shuddering against him

"You... were amazing, Lavenza." Ren spoke truthfully and held her like a precious lover. Which she was.

"Was... That enough, Trickster?" She asked, seeing if he wanted a 'round two' or something more. Her voice was shaking a bit, clearly tired

"Yes, it was." He answered, kissing her gently and tenderly. "I'll have to treat you better the next time I return."

"Okay." She nodded and gripped his coat "... I apologize."

"Why're you sorry?" He asked.

"That this... Was all I could do." She explained "That I could not do more to pleasure you. And that I could only handle one sexual encounter."

"It's your first time. No-one's the best at what they do the first time around." Ren answered, stroking her head.

"My sister Elizabeth loved to boast how long her first time lasted, and how many times they coupled." She responded with a blush

"Wow... sounds like she was either a slut or just a bitch." Ren commented.

SLAP!

"Please do not insult my sister in such a way." Lavenza frowned "She is just excitable and was the first of us to sin, so she is a bit boastful."

"Sorry." Ren commented, holding her close

"It is fine." she nodded, smiling "Thank you though, Trickster. For doing this with me."

"It's fine, Lavenza. It's fine." he soothed


*time skip, the next day*

"Urgh... what a night." Ren mumbled to himself as he had woken up. He felt both tired and rested, such a strange feeling. He rolled his neck and headed downstairs for some breakfast. "Morning, you're up on time." Sojiro commented. "... You look exhausted."

"Yeah, I know. I got a full night's sleep, but it was restless." Ren answered.

"Did not want to hear about your wet dreams, kid." Sojiro deadpanned

"It wasn't-!" Ren was about to defend himself before stopping as he felt embarrassed. Having this sort of conversation with Sojiro was... Awkward

"Ha!" A familiar gremlin gamer began to laugh from her seat at the counter top

"Futaba!" Ren blinked as he saw her, having forgotten that she could be a ninja to Ren's brotherly gaze.

"Just too funny." She smirked

"When did-? Urgh. Never mind." He sighed.

"Any plans for today? Since you look like crap you might want to take it easy." Sojiro spoke, making a plate of curry. "I'm gonna hang out with a few people but yeah, I'll keep it easy this morning."

"Sweet! Does that mean we can hang out?" Futaba asked.

"Sure." He smiled

Futaba giggled as she heard that, it was going to be games and hanging out! "Alright!" She cheered "This is gonna be fun!" She spoke outloud.

"Right." Ren smiled The two finished their breakfast and headed upstairs to Ren's room and turned on his game-station. "Here we go." Ren laughed

"I'm so gonna kick your butt at this game." Futaba smirked.

"I don't doubt it." he chuckled as he gave her a head pat

She playfully purred and leaned into his shoulder as they began playing the 16 bit game. The clicking of controllers filled the room, as beeping and booping echoed from the TV

"Ooh! I'm gonna getcha!" Futaba spoke, using her natural skills to catch up to Ren.

"Oh, no you're not." Ren laughed, moving his body just a little to tilt Futaba.

"Hey! That's not fair!" She whined playfully as she leaned against him again, trying to get him back but he was much taller and bulkier than her, so it didn't help much

"Oh, I'm gonna win!" Ren chuckled.

"No way!" Futaba cheered

The two wiggled together, almost playfully as Futaba's hip pushed him back a little. She raised a leg high, crossing it over his against his lap

"Hey!" He gasped in shock, feeling her legs cross as he felt her foot brushing against her thigh

"What's wrong?" Futaba smirked as she had gotten the upper hand.

Ren gulped, thinking she was just trying to kick him and not whatever... 'this' was.

Beep
Boop
Beep!

The victory music was playing from the TV as the two looked at each other.

Who had won?

DRAW!

"... It was a draw? is that possible?" Futaba asked in shock.

"I don't know." Ren blinked "I didn't think the game was programmed for this."

"Huh. Replay?" Futaba asked.

"Sure." He smiled

The game continued for a couple of more rounds. Both Futaba and Ren 'cheating' to get ahead in the race by shifting their positions just slightly in the chair with Futaba's 'distractions' growing lewder and lewder

In the end, Futaba won five games to three as Ren had to cover his face from her as he was getting flustered.

"HAHA! Five zero! Go me!" Futaba cheered

"Yeah, you win." Ren grumbled as he was getting frustrated... but not because of the game. It was so weird, he had never seen Futaba in such a way before. But this gaming session? Her rubbing her foot along his thigh towards his crotch, the way she pushed her body against his, the way she stretched out, the way she wiggled on his lap, the way she raised her ass that one round where she lay on the floor in front of him. 'What the hell was she doing? Is this... flirting? Oh god, I hope not!' He thought. And why did he kinda like it?!

"Hey, are you two going to game all day?" Morgana commented at them.

"I'd happily do so!" He grinned

"Well, you're built for gaming." Morgana deadpanned.

"Hell yeah!" She cheered

"Jeez, is that the time?" Ren asked, looking at his phone. "I should head out."

"Awww!" she complained

"Sorry, Futaba. I've got some errands to do. I'll be back later though." He reassured her.

"You better. It gets lonely." Futaba frowned while pouting.

'Phew!' Ren thought as his back was turned and headed downstairs while his mind was wandering. He imagined Futaba sitting on his bed seductively, wearing some small-sized pajamas and holding her arms back behind her head in a manner that would look nice on Ann, Tae or Shiho. He then imagined what she might do in that position of she got 'lonely' "Hmm!" He squeaked and tried to shake the thoughts from his head.

'Ren~, will you come here~?' He imagined her voice in his head as he thought of her hands slipping between her thighs...

'BAD THOUGHTS!' He screamed in his head. He shook his head, scratched his skull and yelled internally at himself. This was Futaba! His 'Little Sister'!

Although she wasn't REALLY his sister. They werent related by blood and while he saw Sojiro as a father figure, he wasn't adopted by him in any way. So technically there wasn't anything wrong-

"Urgh... I need to talk to someone about this."

Beep
Beep

Speak of the Devil.


*time skip*

"BWAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

"It's... not that funny." Ren grumbled

"AAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Ren was currently in the bar with Ohya, who was laughing her ass off from what Ren said with a drink in her hand "It's really not that funny." He blushed

"Your life. Is like. A manga." She wheezed between each drink.

"Thanks." He mumbled

"Awe, don't be like that." Ohya answered as she gave him a hug "I'm only teasing."

"You're kinda drunk." He mumbled.

"No~! I only had a few drinks." she smirked

"That's usually enough." Lala sighed as they saw Ohya was being snugly with Ren.

"Lala-chan! Let me enjoy my time with my 'boyfriend'~!" Ohya jokingly drank more and more, referencing the excuse that Ren had used against her boss

"I... You two are actually dating?" Lala asked in shock.

"N-No!" Ren called, laughing jokingly "Just referencing a past joke."

Lala shook her head and poured a glass of water for Ren. "Here."

"Thanks."

Ohya laughed softly, pushing her chest against Ren to try and embarrass him more "Don't you like older women?" She asked.

"I do, I do." he grumbled

Ohya blinked as she heard that. Maybe she should go along with the teasing.. and she dragged him away to a private booth

"Wh-whoa!" He panicked a little, being dragged away

"Oh... Ohya..." Lala mumbled and facepalmed

In the private booth, Ohya giggled as she sat Ren down on the chair... and her on his knees. The second time today. Only she was much taller and heavier than Futaba

'Oh boy.' He thought before speaking. "Um, Ohya..."

"Yes?" she asked

"Have you been okay? I mean... I know I offered to help you out." Ren asked

"Fine." She mumbled

"... Is your boss giving you grief?" He asked, thinking back to the last time that they talked.

"Yeah." she nodded

"Do you want to talk about it?" He asked, holding her on his legs since it was the nice thing to do.

She sighed as she felt the mood being brought down. "Fine. I did my research... and found out about your criminal record. I realized you weren't just some 'Ordinary kid' back with my Chief. I did some digging and didn't count on what to expect."

'Oh, crap.' He thought to himself.

"But, I found it strange about the ruling in your case, odd. Some kind of deal behind the scenes must've happened for it to be the outcome in the end result." Ohya admitted.

"I had a feeling." Ren nodded.

"It must've been hard on you, you're just a kid. Well... Just forget about the past! We're in the same boat when it comes to being labelled." She smiled, trying to bring the mood up.

"Because of your investigation?" Ren asked.

"Exactly. I'm going to avenge my partner for-Whoops!" She caught herself.

"It's your turn to tell secrets since you know about mine." Ren spoke, keeping her on his lap as she was going to call Lala.

"Y-you're no fun." She blushed and pouted. "You don't have anything to do with my private business."

"You can trust me." He answered.

"It's not that I don't trust you... Wait; why am I being treated like the bad guy?" Ohya asked.

"You'll feel better if you talk to me, I'll know what happened and empathize." Ren answered. "Plus, no offense, if you keep drinking to hide the anxiety, you'll explode."

Ohya mumbled and nodded. "Guess it's the fairest course of our business partnership... Alright. I'll tell you. But don't tell anyone." Ren just nodded to keep his silence. "Back when I covered politics, I had a partner who dealt with the photographs... Kayo Murakami. We were a well-known team and blew the lids of countless scandals together... That is, until that day came. We were on the trail of a certain bureaucrat who was involved in a slush fund to support refugees. He kept himself guarded and was impossible to get any solid leads on. One night. Kayo said she had gotten something big on him... but that was the last I heard from her. The next day the bureaucrat was found dead in a love motel and Kayo had vanished."

"... What was the cause of death?" Ren asked.

"It's... unknown. The authorities didn't know if it was suicide or murder." She frowned. "As for the killer... they thought it was Kayo. The police said it was a 'crime of passion', bastards. She would never have slept with someone disgusting like that! And more importantly, pretty damn fucked up to throw allegations without evidence!"

"Ichiko..." Ren frowned.

"... Sorry." She sighed and leaned onto Ren. "The case was closed and... Kayo's name was disgraced. We never found the truth. Since we were partners, the company sent me to another department. I'm going to find Kayo's innocence, I'm conducting my own private investigation."

"That sounds like deformation." Ren admitted.

"Exactly, funny how common stuff like that becomes these days." Ohya chuckled. "But thanks to you; I've been able to have more time on my investigations. I'm not gonna let this slip away. Alright... I didn't enjoy it, but it's done now."

"You're smiling now." Ren answered.

"Probably because I haven't felt this alive in a long time." She responded, snuggling him. "This'll make a great piece."

"Wh-what?" He blinked as he felt her heartbeat.

"I'm kidding." She responded, making him relax due to her joke.

Devil: Rank 5

"I'd rather keep this story all to my self." She teased and winked

"Oh... great." Ren awkwardly smiled as she span around on his waist

"Oh please, you love it." She teased as she brought his face into her chest, clad in its tight white shirt.

'... She's got me there.' Ren thought, feeling flustered and embarrassed. 'Why did Futaba tease me earlier?'

SLAM!

"Ohya!" Lala snapped, holding a spray bottle and unleashing it onto the drunk reporter

"Hss!" Ohya hissed like a cat as she was spritzed by water and leapt off Ren.

"... What?"

"There's no sex in these booths. And definitely seducing minors in my bar!" Lala warned her "Bad, bad Ohya!"

'Thank you, Lala.' He thought in relief as he relaxed... and noticed that Ohya's shirt had gone see through from the water spray revealing her lacy black bra underneath

"Lala-Chan, look what you did! My shirt's all wet!" Ohya commented, looking at her while having her chest point towards Ren. And in her drunken state, she didn't even realise what this meant for Ren

'... Oh my god!' He blushed, seeing this before him. She... She was so beautiful!

...

Like every other woman he knew.

...

But her breasts where amazing, especially so close to his face and soaking wet!

He wanted to say something, but his glasses were fogging up and all he could manage was a slightly audible 'squeak' from his lips.

"Ichiko, pull back a little. You're making the young man faint!" Lala spoke.

"Oh fine~ Lala-chan~, we are done tongith anyway~!" she huffed, getting off Ren's lap... and casually removing her shirt. And if there was any sound effect that was needed, it was a 'clunk' sound as Ren's jaw dropped.

"You need a new shirt!" Lala pushed her out of the room, to protect Ren from the sexy.

"Call me, Renney-boy~!" she called back, blowing him a kiss

Thunk!

Ren's heart was penetrated by Ohya's comment and kiss... What was his life with these women?


*time skip*

RingRing!
RingRing!
RingRing!

'Come on. Please, please, please' He thought.

"Hello?" A voice responded.

"H-Hey. C-Can you come over?" Ren asked

"Yes, of course, Ren. I'll be right over." The voice responded.

"Thanks... Becky." He sighed and hung up, standing in the empty LeBlanc He pulled up a chair and rubbed his head. He wanted... needed an adult to talk to about all this. Someone who probably wouldn't judge him. Well Ohya didn't judge him, she was drunk and was laughing at his chance/luck. He was sure he'd get a text tomorrow with an apology and some advice. He leaned forward and sighed heavily, unintentionally looking like he was sleeping at the desk.

knock
knock

He jerked upwards and looked out the window. "Oh, thank goodness." He walked over, almost running, and opened the door

"Are you alright? You sounded depressed." Ms Kawakami asked as she was dressed as 'Becky'.

"I need your advice." He answered as he let her inside the

"Of course, what do you need?" She asked as they headed upstairs.

"Urgh... It's... complicated." He sighed and began to explain. Futaba in the morning, Ohya in the afternoon and the other women in his life.

All the while his teacher watched and listened in shock

As he gave his descriptions about what happened, between Futaba's flirting and Ohya's teasing... he felt exhausted, all the things that have happened to him felt like some sort of dream. He was lying on his bed, exhausted

Ms Kawakami's jaw was down on the ground. She couldn't believe it...her student was in so much romantic strife.

'And then there is out situation. Where he loves me and I'm falling for him.' Kawakami thought, still believe her misinterpretation from her past few visits

"Thank you for listening, Ms Kawakami... I needed this." Ren sighed in relief as he didn't notice the... Crisis his teacher was having

"O-of course. I'm sorry." She held her head.

'Do I have to fight for his affections? Wait... Fight?! I don't want to fight for him! I don't! I shouldn't be feeling this way!'

Ren slowly leaned up and rested on his knees as he saw 'Becky' having a crisis of her own "You okay?" He asked "You can share if you want."

"I... I've met Takase's guardians again. They called me again and wanted to know why I ignored their calls recently." She answered.

"But... you were in the Metaverse." Ren answered.

"I couldn't tell them that." She responded. "And even before then I've been ignoring them. Because... I'm not giving them anymore. And I've quit being a maid."

"So they're just hounding you now." Ren frowned.

"Exactly. I don't know what to do." She explained.

"... We can change their hearts." Ren answered seriously. "We can head into Mementos and make them realise how rotten they are."

"No." She responded

"'No'? What do you mean?" Ren was taken back.

"They don't control me." Was Kawakami's answer "They have nothing over me. I've left the maid job, and they'll never find out I've done such a job. I've never done anything inappropriate with a student. And I've done my best as a teacher. They blame me for their son's death, I blame myself for it to an extent as well, but it wasn't my fault. If it wasn't for them he wouldn't have been working and hurt. And it's been years. Any debt I payed should be long payed. The fact they keep demanding money shows they didn't care about him for a second. They didn't, DON'T, care about Takase. Only money. So I am blocking and ignoring them. And a simple warning of 'if they keep this up, I will sue then for harassment'. It would cost me a lot of money, and it would be tough, but I don't belong to them."

"Do you need any help? I can help pay." Ren offered.

"I can't let you do that." She answered as she held his hand "Not anymore. Not you. Not the guy I-" she trailed off, catching herself 'You dumbass! What are you saying?!'

"'Not the guy I-' what?" Ren repeated her last words... and his eyes slowly widening.

"It-Its nothing." She coughed and looked away "Nothing. As I told you, we can't do this. It was a slipmof the tongue in my part. I'm sorry. As for your problems... I don't know much of what to say, just to follow your heart and to be honest. When it comes to Ms Sakura... Are you ACTUALLY related in ANY way? And do you HONESTLY see her as a sister, or just a very close female friend who is the daughter of your father figure?"

"I... I'm not related to Sojiro in any way." Ren answered. "I... I see her as..."

...

That was a perfect point she made. Since he was close with Futaba and saw Sojiro liksna dad, his brain just click to 'sister'. It made sense after all.
But Sojiro was not his dad in any way, biological or legally. Just his temperary care giver. And Futaba... She was a friend
A friend he cared deeply about and was super close to.

"Do I really see her as a sister?" He mumbled, trying to comprehend it. He'd never thought of this before...

It was such a big question

"Do you need a moment?" She asked.

"Yeah." He nodded

Ms Kawakami stepped back a moment, sitting on the couch while Ren went through everything in his head. All the while... Mad at her own slip up 'Oh god. What am I going to do?' She thought awkwardly to herself 'I tried... tried to hold myself back. To hide my feelings.' She covered her face as not to show her blush...but she had to admit to herself. 'I... I have feelings for my student!' She hadn't wanted to admit this for a while... but it was true! And she 'knew' he had feelings for her as well!

But they couldn't be together, that was why she turned him down last time they met like this!

'Oh god! I'm a monster.' She thought, trying to hold back the emotions.

Drip!
Drip!

'I'm no better than Kamoshida!'

"Ms Kawakami?" Ren looked at her in worry, seeing her cry.

"H-Huh?" She blinked

He reached up and touched her face, seeing her tears flow. He felt responsible for this... and in a way, he kind of was. Not that he knew that "I'm sorry." he stated, saying how he felt.

She looked up at him, her eyes slowly going red from the tears as she saw his genuine look. Sadayo Kawakami pulled Ren into a hug, crying into his shoulder. He blinked for a moment, but reciprocated the hug knowing that this is what she needed right now.

"It's okay, it's okay." He urged

Kawakami cried into his shoulder and hugged tight, her heart was a mess right now and she didn't know what to think. What was wrong with her?! "Why am I like this..." she grumbled "I'm sorry."

"What do you mean?" Ren asked in confusion, wanting to break the hug just to see her face.

"For being such a bad teacher." she admitted

"What're you talking about? You're a great-" Ren responded, before he caught himself. "What?"

"I... I have." She mumbled, feeling frustrated and embarrassed by her feelings. "I'm no better than Kamoshida." she said aloud, voicing her feelings

Ren looked at her with confusion...before his eyes widened in realisation. Ms Kawakami had feelings for him!

...

And suddenly everything from their last few meetings made sense!

She thought he had fallen for her, then she fell for him, and she tried to 'call it off' before anything happened

'Oh my god.' He thought in shock. "Ms Kawakami."

Kawakami whimpered, pushing her head deeper into his shoulder

"It's... It's alright." He reassured her, hugging her close... and felt her chest through her clothing. "Sadayo. It is okay." He whispered and kissed her forehead

Sadayo's eyes watered as she felt his lips gently kiss her forehead. She was comforted by her own student. She felt ashamed, and safe

"You're nothing like Kamoshida. He was an abuser, you aren't." Ren reassured her. "Feelings aren't wrong. You aren't hurting people. Forcing people."

Sadayo's tears dropped onto his shoulder as she held him tighter. She felt safe here, safe with him. Ren was wise for his age and kinder than most. These feelings for him, they weren't wrong. He was good to her. She confided in him and him with her. She wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him into a kiss

Ren blinked in shock as he felt this. Another woman was embracing him! He was shocked by this, unsure what to do. The older woman, his teacher, dressed in a maid outfit kissing him. His hands slipped around her waist, keeping her there. It just felt... better this way. He kissed her back, his arms holding her close. He knew there would need to be words in the future, but for now? This was all that was needed.
