Chapter 1
Lorelei's First Day
Sojiro looked at the girl, the daughter of the guy he was paid to take care of him and the people who paid him are in jail and the girl is here.
"Um Lorelei right? I'm Sojiro it's nice to meet you." Sojiro said as he greeted Lorelei with a smile.
"…Hi." Lorelei quietly said as she hides behind Ren.
Sojiro didn't mind this as his own daughter would do the same thing when she was her age. He then looks at Margaret.
"Ok then will there be anything else to discuss Narukami-san?" Sojiro asked as Margaret nods.
"With you not much however we wish to talk to Ren in private." Margaret said as she looks at Ren.
"Of course use Ren's room I need to buy a spare futon for Lorelei here." Sojiro said as Theodore facepalmed.
"I knew I forgot something." Theodore said as Elizabeth chuckled.
"Anyway there are some things I'd like to discuss with Ren alright later tonight." Sojiro said as Ren nods.
Sojiro then leaves the Café while Ren, Lorelei and the other Velvet assistants go up to Ren's Room.
Ren's Room
"Oh we have new siblings." Elizabeth said raising an eyeborw.
"Ah I wish dad made them as boys." Theodore said sad at the fact that he has to deal with more sisters.
He hopes that they'll be nice like Lavenza and not feed him dog food like Elizabeth did.
"So Lavenza, Nanashi and Belladonna weren't seen at all?" Margaret asked as Ren shakes his head.
"I hope grandpa is ok." Lorelei said worried about Igor's safety.
"I'm sure he'll be fine but worries me more is this so called ruin Igor mentioned." Ren said.
"I know Ren you mentioned an App on your phone may we see it." Elizabeth said as Ren handed her his phone.
Elizabeth took one look at the App and knew it has remnants of the Velvet Rooms Power and something else.
"It definitely has some of the Velvet Room's power." Elizabeth said as she opens the App.
The other Velvet siblings looks at the App as well.
"Hmm it resembles a navigation App." Theodore said throwing his two cents.
"It seems to require three things. A Full Name, A Location but the third one throws me off. The form of the distortion." Margret said as she reads the app instructions.
As the siblings and Ren were thinking about this Lorelei heard the bell.
"Papa the Coffee man is back." Lorelei said.
"Ren we'll discuss this another time alright." Margret said as Ren nods.
With Sojiro
"So how's the talk?" Sojiro asked.
"It was good do you have the Futon?" Ren asked as Sojiro nods.
"Here I hope Lorelei-chan likes it." Sojiro said as he gives the futon to Ren.
"Well Sakura-san we'll be going now." Margaret said as she walks out the door.
"Bye-bye Lori-chan." Elizabeth said as she follows Margaret.
"Bye Lorelei, hey sisters wait up." Theodore said as he ran towards the sisters.
After they left Sojiro asked Ren to sit down. It was a silent few minutes until Sojiro spoke.
"Ren when I saw the photo in that locket. I was surprised and after seeing that outburst of yours which I don't blame you for at all." Sojiro said.
"Thank you Sakura-san." Ren said as he holds Lorelei.
"Well I also had a gut feeling to call the cops on you." Sojiro said with a chuckle only for Lorelei to groan and pout.
"Like every grown up that sees Mama for the first time." Lorelei said in an annoyed tone.
"Lorelei hush, I'm sorry sir." Ren said.
"Hey it's alright I also had a gut feeling that this was said to you multiple times." Sojiro said shrugging.
Ren chuckled at that. But Sojiro's face became serious.
"Which is why you need to make an even greater effort to lay low." Sojiro seriously said.
"Is that why papa bought those fake glasses to make himself look less scary." Lorelei said with a smile.
"…Wait those glasses are fake also what do you mean makes him less scary?" Sojiro said confused by that last bit Lorelei said.
Rather than telling him he takes off the glasses and gives Sojiro a smirk which causes him to flinch.
"Yeah I can why Lorelei said that. Just keep the glasses on, your head down and your grades up and we'll have no trouble alright now I'm gonna close up the shop for the night ok theirs some leftover Curry for Lorelei and yourself so yeah." Sojiro said as he got up to leave.
"Good night Coffee man." Lorelei said as she waves good bye.
"Good night Sakura-san." Ren said.
"Good night Lorelei, Ren." Sojiro said as he closes the shop.
"So Lori let's eat." Ren said as Lorelei nods.
Once the Curry was heated the father and daughter ate peacefully. After eating and washing the plates they both went upstairs.
"Papa thank you for being here." Lorelei said as she started to tear up.
"It's ok Lorelei Papa's here to stay alright." Ren said as held his daughter.
"Can I sleep with you tonight?" Lorelei said.
"Of course my Velveteen bunny." Ren said as both he and Lorelei went to bed.
As the two sleep Ren gets a funny feeling.
Velvet Room
Ren wakes up to find Lorelei next to him and in prison clothes. Upon seeing this he realizes that he's back in the Velvet Room.
"Lori wake up please." Ren said as he genially wakes up Lorelei.
"Papa what happen?" Lorelei asked until she sees that she's in a familiar place.
"Lorelei why don't you give your grandfather a hello." Igor happily said.
"Grampy Igor." Lorelei said as she waves at her grandfather.
"It's so good to see you again though I wished it was under better circumstances." Igor said.
"I don't know what's happened but what I do know is that a big meanie trapped you and Mama. At least Auntie Mar-mar said." Lorelei said as she just noticed that she didn't hear neither Nanashi nor Belladonna.
"Igor anything on Lavenza?" Ren asked as Igor shakes his head.
"Grandpa where's Nana and Belly?" Lorelei asked wondering why she didn't hear the Aria and Piano she always heard.
"I'm sorry but Nanashi and Belladonna were captured along with your Mama." Igor sadly said.
"Aaawww no fair." Lorelei said as she pouted.
"(Maybe my new friend can help)?" Lorelei thought as she still has her cute pouty face.
Neither of them noticed Caroline and Justine looking at Lorelei.
"Wow is that Lorelei?" Caroline said awing at Lorelei cuteness.
"I think so and she looks absolutely cute." Justine said as she gushing at Lorelei cute pouty face.
"Agreed." Caroline said wanting to pinch her chubby cheeks.
Lorelei soon saw them and hid behind Ren.
"Oh Lorelei these are your new aunts Caroline and Justine." Igor said as he introduced the twins.
"Hi there." Caroline said.
"Hello there Lorelei." Justine said.
Lorelei peaked out from Ren's leg.
"Hi Aunty Caroly, Aunty Justy." Lorelei said in a cute voice.
This caused the twins hearts to go Doki Doki and both agreed on two things.
"We must Protect and Spoil her rotten." The Twins simultaneity said.
This caused Ren to sweatdrop.
"Well then I hate to cut this short but morning is coming soon but I do have gift for Lorelei think of it as an early birthday present." Igor said as he gives Lorelei a small box.
"What is it?" Ren asked.
"A music box holding a very familiar Aria it calming effect it is known will be diminished but it can still soothe the soul. Play it for the little one before bed she will need it to calm her heart and soul." Igor sadly said.
Igor knew what happen to his granddaughter and he was furious but he didn't show it.
"Of course." Ren said as he went to prison bed.
"Bye bye Grandpa and Aunties." Lorelei said as she joined Ren.
"Farewell Lorelei." Igor said.
"Goodbye Lori." The Twins said.
Café Leblanc
Ren and Lorelei's Room
It was that moment Ren and Lorelei woke up.
"Good morning papa." Lorelei said as she yawns.
"Good morning to you my Velveteen bunny." Ren said as he gives his daughter a headpat.
They soon got dressed where they saw Sojiro with two plates of curry.
"Eat up you two, Margaret is on her way to speak to your school." Sojiro said as the two Amamiyas ate.
"This is yummy, Mr. Coffee Man." Lorelei said with a smile.
"Thank you Lorelei." Sojiro said as the girl ate.
Door of Leblanc open causing the bell to ring. Revealing Margaret.
"Auntie Mar-mar." Lorelei said as she hugged her.
"Good morning Lorelei, Ren the car is ready is Lorelei's bag ready?" Margret asked.
"Yes I have Margret." Ren said as he shows a larger version of Lorelei's bag.
Margret nods and says good bye as so does Ren and Lorelei.
On the way to shujin
Ren, Lorelei and Margaret are at the Limo on their way to school.
"Hey daddy what's your new school like?" Lorelei asked.
"I don't know much this is my first day as well." Ren said.
"Then let find out together!" Lorelei said excitingly.
This makes Ren smile.
"We're here you two let me do the talking alright." Margaret said as the father and daughter duo nod.
As the three of them got out of the limo Ren could already see the students gawking at the limo.
He wondered if he could make friends here.
"Did we really have to take the limo?" Ren said.
Margaret shrugged at this.
"Papa what's wrong?" Lorelei asked.
"Just wondering if I can make friends here sweetie." Ren said.
"If Uncle Yu and Minato can make friends in a year so can you papa." Lorelei said until she covered her mouth.
Ren went stiff but Margaret didn't move.
"Auntie Mar-mar I'm sorry I forgot that." Lorelei started to until Margaret spoke.
"It's ok Lorelei your aunt Elizabeth is a lot better now. She still misses him though." Margaret said.
"I know she's trying to free uncle Minato without breaking the great seal." Lorelei said.
"I know sweetie." Margaret said with a smile.
"Ok Auntie Mar-mar." Lorelei said as the three of them went to the entrance where they saw Kawakami-Sensei.
"Hmm oh it's yo-." Sadayo said until he sees Lorelei and Margaret.
"Um hello Kawakami-sensei." Ren said.
"Hello Amamiya-san may I ask who these two are?" Sadayo said.
"Of course miss I am Narukami Margaret and this is my Niece Amamiya Lorelei." Margaret said.
"Niece?!" Kawakami exclaimed as she starts to notice how the little girl and the new student resembled a lot.
It didn't take long for Sadayo to figure it out.
"You're a father." Sadayo whispered.
"I need to speak with your principal, the teachers that are teaching Ren and the Student Council President." Margaret said as Sadayo guided the three to the Principal's office.
Principal's Office
Once they were in the Office Principal Kobayakawa along with the vice principal and the teachers of the second year Mr. Yamauchi, Mr. Ushimaru, Mr. Hiruta, Mr. Inui, Ms. Chouno, Ms. Usami and Sadayo. The main PE teacher Suguru Kamoshida couldn't be in the meeting since he called in sick. Along with the student council president Makoto Nijima.
Makoto has brown hair in a bob cut with blunt bangs and a French-braid styled headband that matches her hair color. Her eyes are abnormal as they have been depicted as red. She is of average female height. Her winter school uniform appears normal but without the standard blazer. Instead, she wears a black halter vest over a long-sleeve white shirt with a turtleneck (which is different from normal turtlenecks for female students). She wears the regulation black and red pleated plaid skirt, black pantyhose and black-brown ankle boots.
"We are here Narukami-san may I ask what this is about" Kobayakawa said.
""I'll cut to the chase I am willing to paying you 5 million Yen." Margaret said before Kobayakawa interrupted her.
"Well thank you Narukami-san." Principal Kobayakawa excitedly said until Margaret continued.
"And to each teacher who works for the second years along with the student council president monthly." Margaret said.
This caused the principal and the others to stay silent it stayed that way until Lorelei decided to drop a pin to see if anyone can hear it.
*ping*
Makoto heard it and gave a flat look at the little girl.
"Oh my GOD!" Sadayo excitedly shouted as all the other teachers spoke their thoughts on the matter.
Mostly about what they were going to with the money some said cars other said a house and many others said a party.
Makoto on the other hand knew something was up and piped up.
"Excuse me Narukami-san but what do want in exchange for the money?" Makoto said causing everyone else in the room to stop.
"It simple there are two caveats for this. One is for this little one stays with Ren." Margaret said as she points to Lorelei.
"Hi." Lorelei said.
"Hello young lady may I ask who you are?" Kobayakawa asked.
"I am Amamiya Lorelei." Lorelei said making the principal to look at then at Ren.
"Amamiya-san is she related to you?" Kobayakawa asked having a good idea how she and Ren are related.
Ren breaths for a bit and then answered.
"She's my daughter Kobayakawa-Sensei." Ren said as the teachers and Makoto's eyes widen.
"Can I ask why she's here and not say her grandparents?" Makoto asked.
When Makoto asked this Ren took off his glasses and gave her death glare, Lorelei shook in fear and Margaret shake her head in disappointment.
"Lorelei's paternal grandparents abused her and her mother, my father and two of my sisters were kidnapped." Margaret said making everyone in room gasped.
"I'm so sorry I didn't know honest." Makoto said knowing that she fucked up.
"That would explain your outburst yesterday, to which I do not blame you for that." Kobayakawa said.
"It's alright and thank you." Ren said.
"And the second caveat?" Sadayo asked.
"The second caveat is that Ren's supposed assault charge isn't to be mentioned at all doing so will result in your pay being cut in half." Margaret said.
"I believe that is good but can we get this in writing?" Mr. Ushimaru asked as Margaret pulled out a contract to which all the teachers and Makoto signed.
"I thank you for all this. Lorelei auntie has to go now be good for your papa alright." Margaret said.
"Ok Auntie Mar-mar." Lorelei said.
"Good luck Ren." Margaret said.
Ren nods as Kawakami takes him and Lorelei to her class.
Class 2-D
Everyone in the class was wondering where their teacher was after they see a student, a little girl and the adult go into the principal's office.
Everyone was wondering what was going on.
At that moment Sadayo entered the classroom.
"I'm sorry for taking so long but an emergency occurred anyway as you know we have a new student coming to stay with us for the year." Sadayo said.
The students began to mumble about what the new student.
Ok you can come in now. Sadayo said as Ren and Lorelei came in.
"Hello everyone I am Amamiya Ren and this is my daughter Amamiya Lorelei." Ren said as he introduced himself and his daughter.
"Hi everyone." Lorelei said while hiding behind her father.
The students were silent for a bit and then.
"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
"He's a father?!"
"Whoa how old is she?"
"Lucky bastard!"
"He's just our age."
"Who's the Mom?"
"Ok everyone calm down we wasted enough time already now let's start class." Sadayo said as the class settled down.
"Thank Sada-Sensei." Lorelei said.
Sadayo and the girls of Class 2-D swoon at Lorelei's words.
"Your welcome Lorelei your papa can sit behind Takamaki-san while you can sit next to your papa." Sadayo said as Ren and Lorelei went to their seats.
As Ren sat down the girl in front of him spoke to him.
"Hey your Amamiya Ren right?" The girl in front Ren said.
"I am and you are?" Ren asked.
"Takamaki Ann." The now named Ann said.
Ann has wavy platinum blonde hair that is styled in bushy pigtails with parted side bangs on the right side of her face where she accessorizes with a single yellow hair clip above her left ear as well as small circular earrings on both ears and bright blue eyes. She is a relatively tall young woman.
Her winter school uniform is modified to fit her taste: the standard black blazer over a white varsity-like fullzip hooded sweatshirt, worn long to cover most of her short plaid skirt. Her sweatshirt has a red stripe between two blue stripes at the bottom, an S symbol near the front bottom on one side and a green four-leaf-clover symbol on the back of the hood. She wears red tights and brown boots with yellow laces. Her summer school uniform is a white shirt with a blue jacket wrapped on her waist, making her skirt more visible. She has black socks with white lining and dark brown shoes. Her hairpin is red instead of yellow, and she wears a silver necklace.
"Hi Takamaki-san." Lorelei said as Ann smiled.
"Hey there." Ann said with a smile as Sadayo began the lesson.
Ren pulled out a drawing tablet and some headphone and gave them to Lorelei. She took it and began to draw.
Lunch time
It was now lunch and Ren and Lorelei were at the roof to have some privacy since all the girls in his class (and several others) were hounding Lorelei and Ren. So they went to the roof.
Lorelei is eating a pair of sandwiches, onigiri, yakitori and mochi with some apple juice. While Ren is eating some curry and Yakitori with some soda.
They were eating peacefully until the door to the roof opened.
The person who opened the door was a young man has short spiky dyed blond hair and dark brown eyes. He has a noticeable widow's peak and his eyebrows are unusual in that he lacks the outer sides. He is shown to be muscular.
He wears his winter school uniform a bit modified. It consists of the standard black blazer, unbuttoned to reveal a yellow t-shirt with a comic style star symbol and the word 'ZOMG!' He has plaid trousers rolled up to reveal his ankles. His pants have black suspenders that hang down instead of being worn on his shoulders.
"Oh sorry about that didn't think anyone else would be here." The young man said.
Lorelei hid behind Ren and he looked at him.
"And you are?" Ren asked.
"Sakamoto Ryuji am guessing you're the young dad I've heard about." The now named Ryuji said.
Lorelei went back to her lunch knowing now that Ryuji was ok…for now.
"Well anyway glad to see the new guy and his kid it's nice to meet you." Ryuji said.
"Thankfully the teachers and students seems to like her though I think the former is because my sister-in-law bribed them." Ren said.
"Really by how much?" Ryuji said curious as to how much.
"5 million Yen a month that's how much she's paying them." Ren said.
"Oh shi-crud that's a lot of money." Ryuji said stopping himself from cursing.
"Yeah my in-laws have deep and I mean DEEP pockets." Ren said as he remembers how Elizabeth spends Millions on fountains and shrines when Minato was still alive.
"Dang so where's her mom?" Ryuji said as he whispered the last part.
"Kidnapped along with my father-in-law and the youngest sisters-in-law." Ren said.
"That sucks man hope they find them." Ryuji said.
"Yeah I know anyway what do you know about shujin?" Ren asked.
"Well not much but I hope your kid doesn't interact with that pervy teacher Kamoshida." Ryuji said making Ren tense.
"Prevy teacher." Ren growled slightly crushing his soda can.
"Yeah Shiguru Kamoshida that man sees Shujin Academy as his flipping castle." Ryuji said censoring himself.
Ren silently agreed with Ryuji said and didn't noticed his new app beeped.
Lorelei however did noticed.
"Papa I think your new app made a beep." Lorelei said.
"What let me see?" Ren said as he checks the app.
He sees the app and noticed that the three thing it required were filled out.
The full name, the location and the form of the distortion.
Suguru Kamoshida, Shujin Academy and Castle in that order.
Destination found.

Y/N
Ren selected no as the app saved the info.
"That's weird anyway I'm gonna check to see if any teachers are about I wouldn't want you to get into trouble on the first day." Ryuji said as he went downstairs.
This left Ren and Lorelei alone.
"Papa I miss Mama." Lorelei said.
"I miss her Lorelei but we have to strong for her." Ren said.
"I know but I just don't know how to be strong for Mama and you." Lorelei said as she started to tear up.
Ren hugged Lorelei and said.
"You will always be strong my Velveteen bunny. I know you'll find the strength to be brave." Ren said.
"Papa." Lorelei said as she hugged her papa.
As the embraced one another Ren would hear the sound of a chain breaking.
(Cue The Spirit by Persona 5 OST)
I am thou... Thou art I...
Thou hast acquired a new vow...
It shall become the wings of rebellion
That breaketh thy chains of captivity.
With the birth of Aeon Persona
I have obtained the winds of blessing that
Shall lead to freedom and new power…
(End The Spirit by Persona 5 OST)
It was still silent until Ryuji opened the door.
"Hey guys class is about to start we need to go." Ryuji said as he went back to his class.
Ren and Lorelei did the same.
After school
Classes went by smoothly Ren and Lorelei and now it was after school Ren knew that Sojiro would want him back home soon. But he couldn't help but be bothered by that app. He was brought out of his thoughts when he sees Ryuji outside of school talking with Margaret.
"Yeah I just talked about how shity Kamoshida is and oh here's Ren." Ryuji asked.
"Ren this young man claims that the app you have has the Info you needed." Margaret said as Ren nodded as he shows Margaret the app.
"I see Sojiro doesn't expect you and Lorelei back in a few hours so I say we see if the App is legitimate." Margaret said.
"But what about Lorelei?" Ren asked worried about his daughter.
"She'll stay by my side." Margaret said.
"Ok then we need to find a private place for this." Ren said.
"There's an Alleyway near the school we can use I'll show the way. But for all we know it could be a hoax." Ryuji said.
Once they reached the alleyway Ren turned on the app and saw the same message.
Destination found.
Commence travel?
Y/N
This time he picked yes. And soon the world started to twist and turn. Once it stopped Lorelei asked.
"Papa is that Shujin?" Lorelei said as she pointed at Shujin academy.
Only instead of a school in its place was a massive Castle.
This has been one weird first day for him and Lorelei.
Firem78910: and done how do you like it
Wicke: I think it was pretty good
Firem78910: now some of you will think the monthly 5 million Yen bribe is a bit of a cop out but it's not for it is canon to those who have play Persona 3 and shipped Minato with Elizabeth you know she had a very and mean VERY deep purse so I'm pretty sure that 55 Million Yen would be nothing more but pocket change for the Velvet siblings
Wicke: as for Kamoshida being sick that day it was for Ren to not get into trouble on the first day and the school seems to have taken a liking to Lorelei
Firem78910: now the big thing of Lorelei being the Aeon Confidant as many persona players know the Aeon arcana is usually given to those that aren't entirely human examples are Aigis in Persona 3 FES and Marie in P4 Golden.
Wicke: Lorelei is born from Lavenza and Ren meaning she has powers though she doesn't understand them at all or knows of them yet as for Lorelei's friend we will meet him at Lorelei's birthday and the only hint you'll get is Shin Megami Tensei's release date
Firem78910: we will learn about them later but next time we start the exploration of Kamoshida's Castle or how many seconds until Ren and Margaret get pissed off Ja Ne Also stay safe, Happy Holidays and a happy new year
