The Medicine of Death and The Hanged Man's Arms

Leblanc Café

Ren and Lorelei's Room

April 16th

Ren, Lorelei and Morgana woke up after a good night's sleep.

"Good morning Lorelei." Ren said as he rubs the sleep out of his eyes.

"Good morning papa." Lorelei said as she yawned.

"Morning you two." Morgana said.

"Morning Morgana." Lorelei said with a smile.

"Glad to see you're ok Lorelei-hime." Morgana said as Lorelei pets him.

"Come on sweetie let's get dressed." Ren said as both he and Lorelei get dressed for school.

"Ok you ready sweetie?" Ren said.

"I am, um are you gonna go to the yucky man's castle?" Lorelei asked.

Ren shakes his head.

"No we need to get more stuff for the yucky man's castle." Ren said.

"Hmmm yeah you're right we need more stuff." Lorelei said knowing her papa is right.

At least that's what her 3 year old mind said.

"You're right Ren we'll definitely need more supplies." Morgana said as Lorelei snaps his fingers.

"Papa doesn't the clinic near Leblanc open today." Lorelei said making Ren smile.

"It does sweetie." Ren said as the family went downstairs.

As they went downstairs they see Sojiro making breakfast.

"Oh you two are up. Well then breakfast is ready." Sojiro said.

"Thank you Coffee man." Lorelei said as she eats her curry.

"Thanks Sojiro." Ren said as he sat down and ate.

"I take it you two are going to the clinic after school." Sojiro asked.

"Yeah Dr. Pikaro said that the medicine there are stronger." Ren said.

"Alright then Ren now be careful today alright." Sojiro said as he reads the newspaper.

After that they ate breakfast they went to school.

Train Station

Ren and Lorelei are at the station waiting for their train where Ann came up to them.

"Hey Ren, Lorelei." Ann said.

"Hey Ann how'd you sleep last night?" Ren asked.

"Oh Ha ha very funny Ren but yeah I slept well. Anyway the situation with the Palace, me getting a Persona and not to mention what happened in the Velvet Room god it's so confusing." Ann said as Morgana popped out of the bag.

"I know it was for me when first came to the Velvet Room." Morgana said.

"(No need to worry Pequnena I'm certain we will crush that excuse of a man and save Lorelei's mother in no time)." Carmen said.

"(Thanks Carmen and you're right)." Ann thought.

"But I'm still willing to help in all of it." Ann said.

"Thank you Ann-Nee chan." Lorelei said as Ann smiles.

"You're welcome Lori-chan." Ann said as their train arrived.

Shujin Academy

Class 2-D

Class was in session and like always everyone was either bored or talking about what happened yesterday. Lorelei was blissfully unaware thanks to her headphones as she drew away. The teacher at the moment asked a question and her papa answered correctly.

She clapped and cheered for her Papa.

She notice the students talking about her papa she had a good idea what they were talking about.

She pouted at this and continued drawing.

Eventually Class ended and it was time for lunch.

Lunchtime

School Roof

We find the Ren and the others eating their lunches.

"Say what should we do about the palace?" Ann asked.

"We need to get more supplies for the palace." Morgana said.

"Yeah we need more medicine and weapons. I know where I can the weapons." Ryuji said.

"Papa and I can get the medicine." Lorelei said knowing that she needed medicine.

"Good I say we explore the Palace on the 20th of April is that good?" Morgana asked.

"Perfect it will give us a chance to get new weapons, medicine and maybe some snacks." Ann said suggesting that they get food and drinks as well.

"While not needed they can be useful." Morgana said remembering Haru's vegetables.

"Alright then we'll meet up in the 20th of April. Agreed?" Ryuji said as everyone agreed.

Soon school was let out and the Amamiya's went back to Yongen-Yaya.

Café Leblanc

"Oh you're back." Sojiro said as he sees Ren and Lorelei return.

"Yeah not much happened today anyway I will take Lorelei to the clinic ok." Ren said as Sojiro nods knowing of the doctor's orders.

"Alright then I'll wait for you until you come back from Takemi-san Clinic." Sojiro said as Ren nods.

"Ok let me get out of my uniform and I'll take Lorelei to the clinic." Ren said as he and Lorelei goes upstairs.

After getting dressed into more casual clothes Ren and Lorelei head out for the Clinic. Which wasn't far at all. Ren went to the door and knocked on the door.

"Come in." A Female voice said.

The Amamiya's entered the clinic and sees the doctor.

The doctor has dark blue hair in a messy bob-cut with blunt bangs and brown eyes. She has red nail polish on both her fingers and toes. She is also fairly short. Her outfit consists of a typical white lab-coat that is worn over a short dark green dress. She accessorizes with a red grommet belt, a black studded necklace choker which connects to multiple necklaces, and strappy black platform high heels.

She looks at the Amamiya's and sighs.

"I thought it would be a quiet day. Welcome to Takemi Clinic. I'm doctor Takemi." Dr. Takemi said.

"Hi." Lorelei said as she hid behind her papa.

Takemi smile at Lorelei.

"Ok what do you need?" Takemi asked.

"Oh Dr. Pikaro recommended your practice for some Medicine for my daughter." Ren said as he handed her Lorelei's Medical file and a note written by Dr. Pikaro.

"Huh I guess that dumbass is still a doctor I guess I should have taken that job with the Kirijo Group." Takemi said mumbling about missed opportunities.

"So how much is the Medicine?" Ren asked as Takemi asked them to the consultation room.

Upon entering Takemi looked at Lorelei's file and nods.

"Hmmm ok I have the meds you need, I'm licensed to make my own meds…and I'm baffled how Morphine tablets work like countertop meds for your 3 year old kid." Takemi said having nothing to say.

Ren shrugs.

"Not the weirdest thing I've experienced and heard." Ren said.

"(He's not wrong)." Arsene commented with a shrug.

"But I want to make sure that my daughter she gets the best care." Ren said as he tickles Lorelei making her giggle.

"Good answer kid now here's the meds I've got on sale and the meds your kid needs. However if you do me a favor I'll let you have access to some of my select stock." Takemi said as she gives Ren said list and Medicine Lorelei needed.

"Thank you." Ren said as he reads the list.

Ren nods and looks at the Doctor.

"I'd like 5 of the first 7 medicines on the list. As for the favor I'll do it." Ren said as Takemi smiled.

Ren then heard the sound 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 Death Persona

I have obtained the winds of blessing that

Shall lead to freedom and new power…

(End The Spirit by Persona 5 OST)

"That will be 36500 Yen." Takemi said as Ren paid for it.

After he paid the other medicines and getting the medicine for his daughter they left.

Café Leblanc

Ren and Lorelei's Room

Later that night

They soon came back home and settled in. Ren decided to clean up the room a bit and he had found an old CRT TV (though with no tuner) and some books for him. Lorelei found a plant though it looked dried.

"Hey papa I think I saw a DVD player and a Famicom on the second hand store nearby." Lorelei said as Ren nods.

Ren saw that Lorelei wanted to say more.

"Sweetie what's wrong?" Ren asked worried about his little one.

"I wonder how I can be strong for you." Lorelei asked as Ren gave her a headpat.

"I know you can be strong sweetheart." Ren said.

Lorelei looked a bit miffed but smiled.

"I know but I want to be stronger so that I can help." Lorelei said.

"You want to help." Ren said.

"I know it's dangerous papa but I really want to help." Lorelei said determined to help.

Ren was at a lost he knew Lorelei wanted to help but the shadows were way too dangerous for her. Bless her little heart. But he simply could not allow it unless…

"Hmmm maybe you can help but I still think it dangerous but I will support you." Ren said.

"Thank you papa if you need it I can do this." Lorelei said as she conjured an Agi spell on her hand.

Ren and Morgana were surprised as they saw the fireball on Lorelei hands.

"What the…you know like I said to the doctor it's not the weirdest thing I saw." Ren said as the flame goes out.

"But I have ask when we're you being able to use that Agi spell at all." Morgana asked amazed by this.

"Hmm the first time I used it was when that man took the old lady's seat a few days back. A voice in my head whispered the spell's name and I used it." Lorelei said.

"I see anything else?" Ren asked.

"I'm not good at it though." Lorelei said frowning remembering the flame fizzing out when Ryuji awoke to his Persona.

"I'm sure you'll be good at it with time and practice." Ren said.

"I know I'll only practice at the Yucky man's palace." Lorelei said with a grin.

Ren smiled still worried but he knew his little one needed his support right now. Ren gave a hug and Lorelei hugged back and they stayed like this for a bit.

"(You know I can give your kid a few pointers regarding Agi magic)." Jack o Lantern said ruining the father daughter moment.

The other Personas just gave him a blank stare.

"(What)." Jack o Lantern said as the other personas looked at him.

"(Dude you ruined the moment)." Bicorn said.

"(Indeed Pyro Jack)." Zorro said as Jack o Lantern got ticked at that.

"(I think the humans have a word for it)." Pixie said.

"(I believe it is Bruh)." Arsene said.

"(Oh screw you discount Fallen)!" Jack o Lantern shouted.

"(What did you say you damn Halloween decoration knockoff)!" Arsene shouted back.

Lorelei covered her ears as two of Ren's Persona were yelling she didn't like she wanted it to stop. As the yelling got louder the same voice that told her about Agi said another spell name.

"Mabufu!" Lorelei said as the arguing Personas turned at Lorelei with wide eyes.

"(Oh shit)!" The two Personas shouted at the spell lands on it marks freezing them.

Ren felt a slight chill though he didn't care they deserved it.

"(Um…I can teach Lorelei the basics of Bufu spells)." Silky meekly said.

"We'll…discuss later alright. Also try not use your magic on my Personas." Ren said.

"I'll try papa." Lorelei said as she yawned.

"Time for bed my Velveteen bunny but first." Ren said as he gave Lorelei her Medicine and puts her in bed.

Ren knows that his bond with Lorelei grew stronger.

"You know I'm surprised that you didn't tell me that Lorelei would be a good assist for the palace." Ren said.

"Oh I know you would have skinned me alive if I even had suggested it." Morgana said as he stood on the bed.

"Hmmm yeah I totally would." Ren said without a hint of hesitation.

"Yeah I thought so, well like you said it's time for bed." Morgana said.

Ren and Morgana went to bed and slept until morning.

Next Morning in Shibuya

It was now Sunday. We soon find Ren, Lorelei and Morgana (who's in his bag) looking for Ryuji and they soon find him.

Ren is wearing an unbuttoned black blazer over a black-trimmed cream sweater, blue jeans and brown shoes.

Lorelei looks no different except that her hair is loose and not in her pigtails.

Ryuji wears a purple hoodie with red lining and the number '777' on the back, a black shirt with a yellow frowning face, dark pants and yellow sneakers.

"Yo guys you're here. Anyway the shop I bought the model gun is pass the crossing let's go." Ryuji said.

Captain Kidd decides to say good morning to Ren's Personas only to see Arsene and Jack o Lantern are still frozen.

"(Oi. You two ok)?" Captain Kidd asked.

"(Don't ask)." The frozen Personas said as Captain Kidd just shrugged.

As they walked towards the crossing they passed by another politician speaking about how Japanese society is a mess. Lorelei didn't trust him because he's a Politician and Ryuji just finds Politics are boring.

Soon they find the shop Ryuji found. It looked sketchy like really sketchy but this was the only place that sales the most realistic model guns. The shop is call Untouchables.

"Looks cool right?" Ryuji asked.

"Looks sketchy." Lorelei said.

"Yeah I was actually scared of the shop but this is only shop that doesn't cost an arm and a leg." Ryuji said.

"Well let's go in." Lorelei said as they went in.

Once they went inside they saw a multitude of firearms, melee weapons, armor and accessories on sale then they saw the manager of Untouchables.

The manager is a middle-aged man with gray hair, faint stubble, sideburns and earrings. A tattoo of a gecko is on the left side of his neck near the back. He has a lollipop in his mouth. He wears a gray hat with yellow ear defenders, a black turtleneck sweater, a long gray coat with a red peace symbol on it, blue jeans and dark boots.

"Huh oh what do you want?" The Manager asked.

"We're looking for some weapons do you got any recommendations?" Ryuji asked.

The Manager was about speak until Lorelei spoke.

"How about a pistol for my Papa and a shotgun for Ryuji." Lorelei said.

"Oh damn that's awesome Lorelei." Ryuji said.

The Manager looked at the two and smiled a bit.

"Yeah those two types would fit you two. Anything else?" The Manager asked.

"Well do you have melee weapons as well?" Ren asked.

"We do oh one more thing I don't buy customized models made by other people got it." The Manager said as Ren nods.

The Manager gives Ren a list of the Weapons he has.

Now the list I gave ya has weapons suited for beginners maybe in a few years I'll give you the good stuff." The Manager said.

"Thank you sir." Ren said as he buys the weapons for himself, Morgana, Ryuji and Ann.

Lorelei looks at the Manager and he looks back.

"Anything you want kid?" The Managers asked.

"Do you do custom jobs?" Lorelei asked.

Everyone looked at Lorelei as if she grew a second head. Lorelei ignored them and took out her tablet and showed to the Manager.

The manager looked Impressed.

"Huh not bad kid how about this kid your old man can work for me and I can give him access to the exclusive line of weapons what do you say." The Manager asked.

Ren thinks for a moment and decided.

"I accept Sir." Ren said as he shakes the Managers hand.

"The name's Iwai Munehisa." The now named Munehisa said.

Ren gave his trademark grin as a chain breaks.

"Now as for the kid's question yes I do custom jobs though it was cost a pretty penny for all three of them." Munehisa said.

"Don't worry about it I can pay." Lorelei said as she pulls several 10000 Yen notes.

All three of them gasp at the sight at the cash.

"Um is this enough?" Lorelei asked as the others sweatdroped at that remark.

"Uh yeah It's more than enough. Could you sent me a copy of the image and your Old man's contact info and chat ID." Munehisa said.

"I don't know why but I blame you Theodore." Ren said knowing somehow someway his brother in-law was somehow to blame.

After finishing their business at Untouchables they went their separate ways Ren and Lorelei hung out at Shibuya for a bit and then they went home.
