A small chapter about the girl that appear in P5 the Royal trailer... kinda XD
The Royal Girl
After a day of work, in their respective games, our protagonists sit down in a nearby cafe to talk and chill out. This Cafe was a place where they could get together and talk about their problems, insecurities, but more importantly, have a nice cup of coffee. Inside, sitting at a booth in the corner of the Cafe was Makoto Yuki, alongside him was Yu Narukami with Ren Amamiya sitting right in front of them with Naoya Toudou and Tatsuya Suou. They were drinking coffee in silence, except for Makoto that had a can of soda. Ren sigh with relief as he enjoys his cup.
"This is good... But Sojiro's are better" He said and that gain him a stare from Igor who was sitting next to the cash register. "S-Sorry"
"Don't be sorry, Ren" Said Naoya. "He already knows that. But we can't go to Leblanc so we hang out here, it's easier for all of us anyway"
"Anyway, today has been a hard day," Said Yu. "Summon a Persona gets really tiresome at times"
"Not as tiresome as the first time, am I right?" Ren chuckle. "I bet mine was the worst one" As he said that, everyone look at him in disbelief, mainly Makoto who was giving him a weird look. "What?"
"You can't be serious" Said Naoya. "I mean, yeah, the first time always hurts, it has to hurt, but I don't think yours is worse. If I have to point out what awakening was more painful I would have to choose... Ummm..." He look at everyone in the table but then look at Ren. "Well... ripping out a mask that was glued to your face is painful. Yu only had to crush a card. My awakening and Tatsuya's was the same, our heads hurt like hell... As for Makoto... you just shot yourself in the head"
"Hey, that hurt and what came next hurt even more," Said Makoto. "Thanatos break Orpheus in half from the inside out! That is painful as fuck! I feel like he open my skull!"
"... Well, so it's between Ren and Makoto" Said Tatsuya. "Personally, I couldn't care less about that. At least the second time is not painful at all"
"Not quite, shooting yourself in the head is pretty heavy sometimes" Makoto sigh. "Anyway... I hear about "The Royal", Ren... What's the deal with that?"
"..." Ren remain quiet, he drink what was left of the coffee and sigh. "I don't know"
"... What do you mean you don't know?" Ask Tatsuya. "You should know, you are the protagonist"
"... Am I?" He ask with fear. "Am I really the protagonist after that trailer? I don't even know who that girl is, I think she will steal the show and I'll be left in the side"
"Come on, it can't be that bad" Said Makoto and pat him in the back. "At least she's not a female protagonist... that's for sure"
"I know, but that make it the weirder. What will she be? A party member, a villain? Possibilities are endless" Ren hit the table. "Not knowing make me really nervous"
"Calm down, you'll know soon enough" Naoya smile.
"That's not the main issue," He said, almost whispering.
"What do you mean?" Yu asks.
"After that trailer... I saw her walking down the street and... she saw me, right at me, in the eyes and... since then... she's been following me"
"... She what?" Everyone asked at the same time.
"You hear me! She's stalking me!"
"... Pfff..." Yu was about to laugh, but contain it. "Sh-She's stalking you? You? Joker?! Yeah, right!"
"I'm serious! She's following me and..." At that moment, they hear a knock from the showcase next to them. They look and saw the Female Protagonist, Minako Arisato, waving her hand friendly. "Oh thank god, it's Minako"
"Hey guys!" She said. "Guess who I found!"
"... Please tell me is not Morgana" Said Yu. "I don't want him here at all"
"Nope!" Minako move away and they saw a red-haired girl with her. It was the girl Ren claim to be stalking him. "The girl from the Royal trailer!"
"..." Nobody said a word. The silence only lasted around 5 seconds before Ren stand up and run away. The girl saw him running and sigh.
"Ren-senpai run away again" She said.
"... Maybe it's because you were stalking him" Said Makoto and the girl wave her hand in denial.
"What? No! I'm not stalking him... I just want an autograph!"
"... You were following him just for that?" Tatsuya asks.
"That and... He's really handsome and I can't stop looking at him!" She blush. "I can't help it but following him around and looking from afar, he's really cute with those glasses! I want to hug him and never let go of him!"
"... She was stalking him..." They all think, even Minako.
"A-A-Anyway, guys. Now that Ren run away, can I join you?" Minako asks.
"Considering we just made Persona Q2 together... You deserve to hang out with us" Said Makoto and pat the sit next to him.
"Hell yeah! Finally!" Minako celebrate and then look at the girl. "You can join us if you want and tell us what will be your role in the new Persona 5"
"I'll pass. It's supposed to be a surprise. Meanwhile, I'll talk to senpai. There's a lot I want to know from him" She said and walk away, following Ren.
"... If she end up being part of the group, we'll ignore her" Said Tatsuya.
"Agree," The rest said at the same time.
