Unlike Katie and Sailornyan, Whisper was not the least bit concerned after the update. "What's wrong, Katie?"
"What's wrong!? What do you mean "what's wrong!?"" she irritably asked. "Didn't you hear what she said? If I or any of my Yo-kai friends try to stop her she'll make our lives miserable!"
"Don't tell me you're actually going to let that stop you though?"
"Well not me, but what about all my Yo-kai friends? None of them are going to want to help me after that update."
"How can you be so sure? They might not have even heard it yet."
Katie walked over to her desk, opened the top drawer, and took her blue Yo-kai Medallium out of it. She flipped it open to a random page, took a medal from it and inserted it into the Model Zero on the desk then turned the dial to 1.
"Sorry but, Hanako-san has refused the summoning request." The watch said with Hanako-san's voice saying her own name.
A message left by Hanako-san then played. "Sorry Katie, I'm afraid you're on your own this time. I can't afford to risk any of my or my company's secrets being revealed. N-not that I have anything scandalous to hide, but still I hope you understand." Katie then looked at Whisper while pointing at the watch.
"Wow, news really does travel fast." Whisper commented. "Well business owners Hanako-san are usually very secretive anyway. Call someone else, I'm sure they'd help, whis~."
Katie took Hanako-san's medal out of the watch, put another one in, and turned the dial to 1.
"Sorry but, Yoodooit has refused the summoning request." The same voice from before said, with Yoodooit's voice saying his own name.
A message left by Yoodooit then played. "You do it, Katie. I don't want my doctor to learn that I've been smoking when I shouldn't be… I hope he's not around when you hear this message." Katie then looked at Whisper while pointing at the watch.
"Well how helpful would he have been anyway?" asked Whisper.
"You still don't get it, do you?" Katie asked with her arms crossed. "Even after I went over the plan with you five times earlier today."
A sweat drop appeared on the back of Whisper's head. "Oh! That plan! Now I see where you're coming from hahaha."
Katie looked at him with doubt knowing that he was lying. "Well it doesn't even matter now. It's over. Next HarMEOWny is done for."
"Nonsense, Katie!" Sailornyan reassured. "You still have me, right? My eyes have opened up to see that Tattlecast isn't the Yo-kai I thought she was. Anyone who breaks a promise like that is not worthy of my praise, so I'm willing to put all of my secrets on the line if it means stopping her for good."
"Thanks, Sailornyan. But I'm afraid it's going to take more than you to stop her, no offense."
Whisper floated over to Katie and pointed at himself with his thumb. "Don't forget your temporary Yo-kai butler is here to help too! I've got nothing to hide, whis~!" He grinned with his eyes closed.
Though she was mildly annoyed with him at the moment, Whisper's false bravado made Katie smirk. "Oh really? So would you tell me the truth if you forgot what the original plan was?"
"Of course, but I didn't forget. It involved…" Whisper began to sweat and look away from her. "Stopping Tattlecast?"
Katie giggled. "Look guys, I appreciate your willingness, but it's gonna take more than just the both of you to stop her. I imagine she won't be easily beaten this time."
"Well I'm sure your closet dweller is willing to help too, right?" asked Sailornyan. The three friends looked towards the closet but no response came from it.
"I wouldn't be surprised if he has a ton of secrets he's trying to keep under wraps." Said Whisper.
"Yeah." Katie sighed. "I dunno, are you sure there isn't a single Yo-kai who doesn't listen to The Tattlecast?"
"Actually, there is." A familiar voice coming from Katie's bed said. The three looked over in that direction to see Lie-in Heart eating beef and daikon soup. He also had a red slap mark on his left cheek. "Gotta say, I'm not a fan of the menu tonight, but I still left my donation on the counter."
"Well look what the cat dragged in." Katie sarcastically remarked with her hands on her hips. "I see Tattlecast let you go, but not before giving you a present."
"That looks like it hurts, whis~." Commented Whisper.
"It does." Lie-in Heart replied. "For an elderly woman, she sure hits hard."
"I'm going to do something even worse to you if you don't stop eating on Katie's bed." Sailornyan threatened.
"So, what happened anyway?" asked Katie. "How was she able to free herself from your control?"
Ignoring Sailornyan, Lie-in Heart replied to Katie as he continued to eat. "Unable to get my gyoza fix at Sun Pavilion anymore, I set out on a quest to find a new Chinese restaurant to eat at. Alas, none of them made their gyoza like the chef at Sun Pavilion did. It was either too salty, too undercooked, or too crispy." He then ate another spoonful of the soup. "Halfway through my journey, I lost track of time and had completely forgotten about Tattlecast. See, when I inspirit someone, they stay under my influence for a maximum of 24 hours even if I'm not around. Unfortunately, I arrived back one second late, and she got the jump on me. I apologize for letting you down, Katie."
"Oh, don't worry Lie-in Heart. I was let down a week ago after you said you wouldn't delay her longer than tomorrow evening." Katie said, giving him a false smile before her expression became neutral again. "Anyway, you said there was a Yo-kai who didn't listen to The Tattlecast. Who are they?"
Lie-in Heart opened his eyes. "His name is, Draaagin."
"Draaagin? Never heard of him."
"He's quite a common Yo-kai in everyday life." Whisper explained while reading from the Yo-kai Pad, which annoyed Katie. "When you're inspirited by him, you'll become indecisive as well as a huge procrastinator. The Yo-kai Incident caused by him is…" Whisper put on swirly glasses while sporting a fake overbite and pointing left and right. "Hmm, do I want the pink slushy or the blue slushy? Pink or blue? Pink or blue? There's pink and there's blue. Ah, I can't make up my mind. Give about another minute or so." Whisper then put on a business suit on. "Hurry up, ya moron! Make a decision already! My lunch break's almost over!" Whisper removed his disguise. "Like that!"
"Right, I met him a ramen shop I stopped at during my travels. He's the one that made me realize my intuition is actually just procrastination, no matter how spiritual I try to make it sound. He said it was nothing to be ashamed, of especially since I have no responsibilities. Why not procrastinate since you have infinite time to do the things you eventually want to do?"
"That's terrible advice!" exclaimed Katie. "Nobody has infinite time! Even if you think you do you never know when something important will- Forget it! Forget it! What did he say about The Tattlecast?"
"He said he had been wanting to listen to it for a long time but he still hasn't bought an electronic device to play it on. Something about avoiding "planned obsolescence" altogether, whatever that is."
Katie suddenly remembered the hint that Goldenyan gave her a week ago. "A friend of your friend's."
"So that means he's not fan of the podcast and would help us if we asked him, right?" Katie asked.
"Perhaps. I also don't imagine he has many secrets to hide, but as I said he's quite the indecisive fellow. There's no guarantee that he'll help you in time for tomorrow." Lie-in Heart replied.
"We don't have any other options! Where do we find him?"
"I don't imagine he travels much so he might still be at the ramen restaurant I met him in."
"Where was it?"
"I don't remember."
The three friends fell to the ground after hearing that.
"Next HarMEOWny really is done for, whis~." Whisper said with his face planted on the ground.
"You didn't let me finish." Lie-in Heart continued. "He said he can be summoned anytime by performing a sacred summoning ritual."
Katie looked up from the ground. "Sacred summoning ritual?"
"Oooh I'll get the candles!" exclaimed Whisper.
"Not that kind of summoning ritual." Explained Lie-in Heart. "To summon Draaagin you must simply put off something that you've been meaning to do for five minutes. Doing so will invite him into your household, but there's no guarantee he will show up right away if at all."
"Put off something, huh?" pondered Katie. "I guess right now I'm technically putting off getting dressed and brushing my hair. I also meant to put the Yo-kai Medals I took out of the Medallium back and put the Medallium itself back into my drawer, so that's four things I'm putting off!"
"I'd actually find it preferable if you did the first two things actually." Sailornyan implored. "Especially since we have an uninvited guest who's testing my patience."
Katie rolled around on her rug. "Eh, maybe later."
"Good, denying requests like that makes him more likely to appear." Explained Lie-in Heart.
"Stop encouraging this!" shouted Sailornyan. "I'm already annoyed with you for several reasons, so don't make me angrier!"
"Katie, shouldn't you be getting ready for bed as well to be rested for Next HarMEOWny's concert tomorrow?" Whisper asked with his hands on his hips.
"Oh! Good thinking Whisper! That's five things!" pointed out Katie. "Uh, I mean, nah give me a minute."
"Ugh, I can't watch this." Sailornyan complained while covering her eyes.
After about ten minutes of Katie putting off things she should have been doing, Draaagin was still nowhere to be seen. "Is he here yet?" groaned Katie. "Even though I'm on the rug, the floor isn't very comfortable."
"I haven't seen him." Lie-in Heart replied while eating cheesy corn chips.
"If I find as much as a single crumb on Katie's bed, so help me, you'll be walking around with all those tails of yours between your legs!" Scolded Sailornyan.
"I apologize, but I need something to get the daikon taste out of my mouth."
"Well who gave you permission to eat it in the first place!? You weren't even invited to dinner!"
"Sailornyan, could you please just keep an eye out for Draaagin?" asked Katie.
Sailornyan sighed. "Fine. You're much too lenient with people, Katie. Anyway, I still haven't seen him. What about you, butler? Picking up anything on that antenna of yours, perhaps?"
"Eh, why don't you ask me later, pinky?" Whisper responded while lying on the ground and drinking a soda.
"Huh? Are you trying to summon him too?"
"He can't be summoned by Yo-kai, you know." Explained Lie-in Heart. "He only appears for humans, so you can get up."
"That's cool. Maybe later, whis~." Replied Whisper.
"Your call." Lie-in Heart replied as he ate another chip.
"I'm not going to ask you to get off Katie's bed again." Sailornyan said angrily.
"Come on guys, really?!" Katie exclaimed as she got up from the floor and stretched. She then grabbed her Yo-kai Watch, popped open the lens and shone the light over in Whisper's direction, revealing a large, long-faced bluish green dragon with brown hair and antlers, a beige stomach and eyebrows, yellow closed eyes and spots on its backside, darker bluish green whiskers, and a red fantail. "Whisper was giving off all the signs! Pay attention!"
"Mmmm, what a draaag." It said with its arms folded.
"Nya~! So big!" exclaimed Sailornyan. "How did I miss that!?"
"You were too busy berating Lie-in Heart while he was too busy eating." Katie explained.
"Well everyone, meet Draaagin." Lie-in Heart said, finishing off his chips.
