Wow...50 chapters have passed...and it's been over a year...I never thought that this fic would come this far...and I am more than inspired to continue this fic...

Okay, now to other matters...many thanks to those who reviewed this fic, I really appreciated it and this gave me inspiration to work on the next chapter and here the current story arc opens up in which it would feature a DR character and a DR: Another Episode character, and they will be the focal point of this arc, and this will serve as an opener for a new plot, so read on and enjoy!

The scene shifts to a house at a neighborhood somewhere in Tokyo, and the scene zoomed past the house and inside, where it shows that the inside of the house is somewhat normal-looking, similar to the house of another family, like the family of Makoto Naegi, and here it shows that the occupants of this house consists of only two persons, a male and a female, ans the male is shown to be none other than Yasuhiro Hagakure - the Super Duper High School Shaman, and he is living with a female who turns out to be his mother, and she is identified as Hiroko Hagakure.

Hiroko is a fair-skinned woman with light pink hair that reaches her waist. She has brown eyes, much like Yasuhiro, and a beauty mark beneath her lips. She wears a white bead necklace, a white tank top, and a blue stadium jacket with an unknown symbol on the right side. She also wears black ripped jeans held up by a salmon colored belt and sky blue sneakers.

Hiroko is often depicted as having a cigarette in the corner of her mouth that she sometimes uses to puff smoke. Hiroko is older than she looks like and keeps her age a secret. Though she has a young looking appearance of a college student, she might be up in her late 30s' or early 40s'..

Hiroko is a street smart, relaxed and open-minded lady with a 'you do your thing, and I'll do mine- live and let live' personality. Hiroko values human lives a lot. Cruelty and killing, especially senseless killing, makes her absolutely furious.

Hiroko also appears to be rather childish at times, referring to her close friends in playful banter. Hiroko is a former delinquent, and when she is angry, that former attitude comes out, with her using a speech pattern similar to her son's.

Hiroko is very protective of her son and loves him more than anyone else in the world. She is very proud of him and seems to ignore the damage of his flaws, for the most part, even though she is aware of his financial mismanagement and advises him on how to handle money properly. She then prepares breakfast as it is morning, and she is aware that her son is attending a convention which features a lot of aspiring fortune tellers and encourages her son to do his best and not jinx his potential customers, and he mother and son began eating breakfast and are enjoying each others' company, despite the fact that her husband has divorced her and not giving financial support to his biological son.

After eating breakfast, Hagakure took his stuff and is ready to leave, and was told by his mom to be careful while on the road.

"Yasuhuro..."

"Yes, mama..."

"Be careful out there..."

"I know..."

"Make sure you manage your money..."

"Yeah, yeah..."

"Okay, off you go..."

"Bye!"

Believe It Or Not by Joey Scarbury
(Opening Song from The Greatest American Hero)

Look at what's happened to me,
I can't believe it myself;
Suddenly I'm up on top of the world,
Should've been somebody else.

Believe it or not,
I'm walkin' on air,
I never thought I could feel so free;
Flyin' away on a wing and a pray'r,
Who could it be?
Believe it or not, it's just me.

Just like the light of new day,
It hit me from out of the blue;
Breakin' me out of the spell I was in,
Makin' all of my wishes come true.

Believe it or not,
I'm walkin' on air,
I never thought I could feel so free;
Flyin' away on a wing and a pray'r,
Who could it be?
Believe it or not, it's just me.

Ch. 51: Pātotaimu Rōdō-sha

Several minutes after her son left, Hiroko is now getting ready to leave as well, as she has some place to go as she is working on a part-time job in order to earn money so that they have enough to buy food fir the week and even though she has the skill of a nurse, she considers herself old to apply a job at a hospital and to try out other jobs, and just two weeks ago, she applied at a company within the Tokyo Business District and got a part-time job as a file clerk, and she accepted it because the salary is quite okay and now she is heading for work.

Hiroko then locked the door and leaves the house as she is heading for work, and she is expecting a good day to happen and is not expecting any untoward incident to happen and is beaming with confidence as she knows that her son is going to be fine on his own and expects him to be busy given that it is still summer vacation and she is aware that her son has a talent especially after he was selected to study at Hope's Peak Academy, and this is one fact that she is proud of, and she hoped that once her son graduates, he can make it big and solve his financial problems.

"Good luck, my son..."

Much later, the scene shifts at the convention center where a convention of fortune tellers is shown, and Hagakure had just put up a stall where he can attract customers and entice them to have their fortunes read, and he began shining his crystal ball as he is ready to invite customers to come to his stall and have their fortunes read, and after several minutes of advertising, Hagakure managed to entice a passing customer and invited her to have her fortune read, for a price.

"Good day, ma'am!"

"Yes?"

"Would you like me to read your fortune?"

"Really?"

"Yes...and I can predict it..."

"Hmm...okay..."

"Now step forward..."

"This better be good..."

After hearing his advertising, the female customer decided to try and have her fortune read, and there he stared at his crystal ball and after a minute, he told her what her fortune is like, which is a good one, and said that good things will happen to her career which involves a commendation and a promotion, and the female customer is pleased with what she just heard, and paid him quite handsomely, and leaves, and Hagakure is also pleased as he got his first pay and began enticing other customers to come to his stall, and soon another customer came and invited to have his fortune read, ans soon he was enticed and agreed to have his fortune read, and there his fortune was read, where Hagakure said that there will be some problem with his domestic life, and if he is is not careful, his marriage would be over, and the customer is taken aback at what he just heard.

"You serious?"

"Yes..."

"And you mean my marriage is over?"

"If you do not try to fix your marital problems..."

"I see..."

"So better fix it..."

"Okay...thanks..."

"You're welcome..."

Hagakure reiterated that that is the fortune he read, and said it all depends on the customer whether to take the fortune seriously or not, and though he wanted to disbelieve it, the customer was nevertheless courteous and paid Hagakure before leaving, and the Super Duper High School Shaman sighed yet he is fine with it and continued to invite more customers to come to his stall, and he day went on and by the end of the day, Hagakure earned quite a lot, and he is pleased with what he got, so he began fixing his stall and is leaving the convention center to head home, as he is going to have another convention by tomorrow.

Later, the time now is 18:30, and the scene showed that Hagakure arrived at home, and is now getting ready to have dinner, just as Hiroko arrived and they began to bond, preparing dinner, and as they started eating, both told each other how their day went and how things went, and both appeared pleased with each others' activities and encouraged one another to keep it up, since neither one of them didn't do anything wrong.

"...so did you jinx your customers?"

"Of course not, mama!"

"You sure?"

"Yes!"

"Okay...just be honest with your work so the customers would pay you well..."

"Okay..."

"Really?"

"Yes..."

After dinner, he began washing the dishes as Hiroko went to her room to change, and the night went on with no problems as both look forward to tomorrow, and much later both went to bed as they get some rest and to get ready for work come tomorrow.

-x-

By morning, Hiroko got up early and cooked breakfast, ate some portions, took a bath, then puts on her clothes before leaving a note on the table, and as she leaves the house, she is walking by the sidewalk when two unidentified men came and grabbed her, carried her away while holding her mouth, in which hey loaded her inside a limousine before the vehicle sped off, and inside, Hiroko stared wide-eyed seeing the person beside her, seeing he is the one who took her by force.

"Hello, Hiroko-san..."

"You!"

"Yes..."

"What is this?"

"I need to have a word with you..."

"Why drag me like this? Let me go!"

"Sorry...I can't..."

"Hentai!"

About an hour later, Hagakure woke up and went to the dining table, where he saw the note on he table and began eating his breakfast, and he is looking forward to today's activities, unaware that his mother had just been abducted and he took a bath and later puts on his clothes and prepared his things before leaving the house, and he is expecting the day to be good and earn a lot of money as he is heading to the convention center again and it will have a lot of customers flocking, and he is going to use he same method to entice them to have their fortunes read by him.

About an hour later, Hagakure arrived and puts on his stall and began inviting customers to come and have their fortunes read, using his charms and words to attract one and patiently waited for a customer to come to his stall, and as 30 minutes passed, a customer came and is intrigued at how Hagakure is advertising his job, and out of curiosity, he is enticed to have his fortune read and see what his fortune is ans whether it would be a good one or a bad one.

"Excuse me..."

"Yes...?"

"Can you really read people's fortune?"

"Of course!"

"Can you read my fortune?"

"Sure..."

"Okay...read it..."

"here we go..."

Feeling that this would be his lucky day, Hagakure read his customer's fortune and the fortune was a good news-type, and the customer is pleased with what he just heard, and paid him well before leaving, and the Super Duper High School Shaman is pleased with this and continued to entice customers to stop by and have his fortune read and soon he was able to entice another customer to try and have his fortune read, and Hagakure obliges, hoping to earn more amount from this session.

"You will have a good month..."

"Really?"

"Yes...as long as you work clean...and honest..."

"That's so good to hear..."

"So follow my advice...and you'll be fine..."

"Okay...thanks..."

"Your pay, please..."

"Here..."

After having his fortune read, the customer is pleased and paid Hagakure more, ans then left, and the Shaman is happy with this and continued to entice more customers, and the day went on without problem, and soon the convention ended early and he leaves the building and walked the streets as he is wondering what to do next as he still has time, and there he came across Makoto Naegi, who is accompanying Komaru, and the two classmates greeted each other as Komaru looks on, somewhat surprised to see her brother having a classmate much older than him.

"Onii-chan...that's your classmate?"

"Yes..."

"But...he's older than you...more like a university student..."

"Um..."

"Is he really a fortune teller?"

"Yes, Komaru..."

"Then have him read your fortune..."

"Eh?"

Hagakure offered to have Naegi's fortune read, but the Luckster politely declined, but Komaru asks if he could read her fortune and is willig to pay him, and Hagakure obliges, and though Naegi tries to tell her to stop, she wouldn't as Hagakure began reading her fortune, and there he said that her hit manga will reach higher popularity and will be recognized further overseas, and Komaru is happy to hear this and Naegi sighed, wondering how true Hagakure's readings are accurate, and the siblings left the scene, and Hagakure went on his way and decided to go home, and as he arrived, he is taken by surprise that his house door was forcibly opened, and as he went inside, he saw the place is in disarray, cabinets were opened and clothes and items were sprawled on he floor, and he frantically looked around, thankful that his personal belongings and items are intact, but then he wondered why would burglars ransack his house and then his mother came into mind and tried to call her, but there was no answer.

"Mama! Where are you?"

Hagakure felt worried at first, but opted to remain calm since it was still mid-day, and he decided to clean the mess and the house is clean, and then he waited until nighttime, and as he checked he clock, it was 22:00 ans Hiroko hasn't arrived, and she hasn't responded to his cellphone, and there he decided to go to the police station to report to he police in charge about the possibility that his mom went missing, and hoped to get some positive result.
