Chapter 14

Meeting the Hermit, the Councillor and gaining the trust of the Moon

Ren and Lorelei are stunned as Teddie gave them a lead on Lavenza.

"Mama she's here?" Lorelei asked as tears began to form.

Teddie saw what was going on and sighs.

"Yes Lorelei-chan I know you want to see her but I have to tell you that there are stronger shadows pass this place far too strong for your papa and his friends and you know that." Teddie said seriously.

Lorelei nods as she knew that Teddie is right.

"I know uncle Teddie." Lorelei said as the tears fell from her eyes.

Ren picked up Lorelei and lets her cry on his shoulder. Ren also began to tear up as well.

"Let's go." Ren said as the thieves and the adult Persona users leaves the room.

Sometime later

Mementos Entrance

As everyone returns to the entrance of Mementosthey spotted a young boy drink a cup of juice.

"Hmmm… not bad." The young boy said as he drinks the juice.

Joker looked at the young boy. With a weird look as he sees the young boy turn a flower into more juice.

The boy turns to see the group.

"Oh hello there I'm Jose nice to meet you." The now named Jose said.

Jose resembles a young, small boy about a head taller than Morgana. He has gray hair in the shape of a half egg shell, yellow eyes, and ears that are very round and unusually undefined in shape. He wears an oversized white-grayish raincoat and boots with stars and moon motifs, black leggings and gloves. Jose also wears his goggles around his neck.

"Um hello there Jose." Joker said as Lorelei woke up and saw Jose.

"Hi." Lorelei said with a small smile.

Jose smiled as well.

"Yo I got to ask what are you doing here little guy?" Yosuke asked.

"Oh I'm here to learn about humans due to a promise to a certain person. I can do this by drinking Flowers." Jose said.

"Ah flowers?" Panther asked.

"Yes Flowers pretty lady." Jose said making Panther smile and Mona grumble.

"Well then anyway thanks Jose but we should get going." Mona said.

"Oh I just remembered that person said he couldn't make it to a birthday on the 31st of this month. But he did wanted to give you a gift." Jose said as he went to his dune buggy and takes out two wrapped presents. A big one and a small one and gives them to Lorelei.

"Presents?" Lorelei said with a raised eyebrow.

Joker was going to full father mode but something in his soul was telling him to trust him.

"I'll open them later Jose-san." Lorelei said still bummed out about her mama.

"Ok then this is for him." Jose said as he holds out a star shaped pendent to Joker.

"Thanks by the way I'm Joker and this is Lorelei. The guys over there are Yosuke and Teddie. The pretty Lady is Panther. The tough guy is skull and cat like person is Mona." Joker said before Jose interrupted him.

"Wait he's cat-like I thought he was a Tanuki?" Jose said in genuine confusion.

This cause Yosuke, Teddie and Skull laugh their asses off. Panther chuckled while Mona stayed silent at the fact that Jose thought that he was a Tanuki.

Joker and Lorelei laughed a bit which cheered them up a bit.

Even out of their sight a door to the Velvet Room is shown where Caroline was laughing her ass off while Justine wondered when they got a new brother. Igor however knew where Jose came from and gave his signature grin.

"Ah a shame that he won't be there for Lorelei's birthday." Igor said.

After a bit they calmed down he asked Joker that if they ever come back they should find him flowers and stamps. He also said that he will make it worth their while.

"Hold up what about the Reaper!" Teddie shouted.

"Reaper? Oh! You mean Gloomy Pistols Mcgee. Don't worry about him I'll get him." Jose said as he drove off.

After that they left Mementos. Once they were back in the real world they saw that it was late some they went home.

Café Leblanc

That night

The three of them came back after that exhausting trip to Mementos.

"Oh you're back." Sojiro said as he saw them come in.

The father and daughter pair said hi to Sojiro as they went upstairs.

The both of them went to bed not wanting to do anything after finding out about Lavenza.

Soon they slept.

May 8th

Café Leblanc

The both of them (Plus Morgana) woke up.

"Good morning Lorelei." Ren said as Lorelei nods as she gets up as well.

"Good morning Papa." Lorelei said with a small smile.

Both father and daughter hugged one another.

"Say Lorelei why don't we open those presents?" Ren said as Lorelei beams.

"Ok!" Lorelei said as Ren takes out said presents.

Lorelei opened the big box from Jose first where there was a bunch of toys, clothes and sweets.

Lorelei eyes went wide as she sees all of the stuff she got.

"Oh boy. Lorelei don't spoil your breakfast, you can have some of them later. Now you should open the smaller gift." Ren said as Lorelei nods.

The smaller box contained three things.

A velvet box, a pair of velvet blue gloves and a letter.

Ren opened the letter.

Dear Ren and Lorelei

I apologize that I couldn't help you the both of you. I'm still in trouble for cheating in my initial bet. Even though that shape shifting bastard did it first.

Any who I've brought some presents for Lorelei, nothing special just a pair of gloves and a ring.

I hope Lorelei loves it.

Sincerely Philemon.

P.S. Trust Jose and Collect those flowers their worth it.

Lorelei opened the velvet box to reveals said ring. It was a platinum ring with a sapphire stone in the center with two topaz's next to the sapphire.

Lorelei puts on the ring and smiles.

Soon father and daughter went downstairs to see Sojiro waiting for them.

"Ah you two are awake, good I needed to ask you something Ren." Sojiro asked.

"What is it Sojiro?" Ren asked wondering if it was something serious.

"Oh nothing serious it's mostly about the Mid-Term exams. Well specifically about Lorelei." Sojiro said.

Ren eyes widen about the Mid-Terms.

"Oh damn with my daughter coming here and the chaos of Kamoshida I'd almost forgot about them." Ren said.

"Well for today you should buckle down and study as for Lorelei I'll let her stay at my house." Sojiro said.

Ren looks at Lorelei.

"Bunny papa needs to study for some tests for the next few days ok. I'll be sure to read to you and we can talk with the chat ID." Ren said.

"Will I stay with Mr. Coffee man's house?" Lorelei said.

"Yup I'll make sure to say good night to you sweetie." Ren said as Lorelei nods.

"Alright then before we do this I need to introduce you to someone I'd hoped you wouldn't meet." Sojiro said.

"What do you mean Sojiro?" Ren asked as Lorelei wondered as well.

"You're not the only one with a daughter I have one of my own. Come on it's best that you meet her." Sojiro said as the Amamiya's (Along with Morgana) followed him to his home.

Sakura house

Upon entering the Sakura home the three of them saw that it was a normal home after a bit Sojiro took them to a door that said keep out.

Sojiro knocks on the door and calls out a name.

"Futaba I've brought them." Sojiro said as Ren receives a new message.

"Huh a new message?" Ren said as he reads it.

Alibaba: hello Ren we finally meet

Ren: I'm assuming that you're Futaba right

Alibaba: yup I am

Ren: I got to ask? Why I'm I meeting you now I assumed that Sojiro would have done everything in his power to make sure we never meet?

Alibaba: to be fair that would be something Sojiro would've done if he didn't know of Lorelei's existence ¯\_()_/¯

Ren: ah I see and to be fair if the roles were reversed I would have done the same

"I wouldn't blame you if that were the case Ren." Sojiro said having seen the message.

"Thanks Sojiro." Ren said.

Alibaba: any who give me a moment…

Alibaba: WTF (`Д´) who the hell made you daughters Smartphone it has security systems that makes Fort Knox look cheap wet cardboard

Lorelei looks at her phone with a notification that said a user wants access to her phone. Lorelei thought about and granted Futaba access.

Alibaba: (o_O) ! The hell I was just granted access

Lorelei: I gave it to you Taba-chan

Alibaba: Ren where do I find your folks (メ ̄)I have a shotgun with their names on it

Lorelei: wait in line Taba-Chan mama and papa gets to beat them up first

Alibaba: don't worry Lori-Chan (* ^ ω ^)

Lorelei: Ne Taba why don't come out of your room?

Ren: Lorelei that's not a nice thing to say

Alibaba: it's ok Ren the thing is I have Agoraphobia aka the fear of Fear of places and situations that might cause me to panic, feel helpless or be embarrassed meaning going outside, meeting new people or doing things that I normally don't do scares the crud out of me

Lorelei: I'm sorry Taba-chan ()

Alibaba: nope activate Limit Break ultimate huggles (ω)

Lorelei: yay I'm happy again (* ^ ω ^)

Lorelei: by the way does your phone have video calls?

Alibaba: in full 720p HD why?

Lorelei: that way you can talk to papa and me face to face without having to leave your room

Alibaba: (_)・・・

Alibaba: ()

The chat ended as Ren's phone rang showing that he has an incoming video call.

Ren answered the Phone and sees Futaba for the first time.

Futaba is a young girl with hip-length black hair dyed bright orange, with straight-cut bangs and two long strands in the front along with a single small, thin strand at the top. Her brown eyes also seem to have some faint purple tones in them, appearing mauve. She wears large black circular glasses, and is almost always seen wearing a set of AKG K845BT headphones with red ear cushions. She seems to be very short, even compared to most girls her age.

Her outfit consists of multiple layers: she wears an off-shoulder white top with a red splatter-like pattern on her chest with five white asterisks (*****) which are reminiscent of a password input system in the red splatter, a black tank top underneath, a dark green jacket with a faux fur trimmed hood, black short shorts, a studded black belt in a slanted position, black thigh high socks and black knee-high boots with buckles and studs at the top. The green jacket has A.F.K. on the back (for "away from keyboard"), although it is difficult to see because of Futaba's long hair.

"So yeah I'm not gonna lie I'm a bit mad at myself for not having the idea." Futaba said with a pout.

"Huh you're the 3rd cutest person I've ever seen." Ren said with a grin.

The glare Sojiro gave him was fierce.

At first Futaba blushed but then noticed what Ren had said.

"Normally I'd be mad but I have an idea on who the first two places belong to." Futaba said.

"Indeed anyway what's the main reason why we're here?" Ren asked.

"Simple Sojiro thinks that Lorelei should stay here during mid-terms even before so that you can study a bit." Futaba said.

"Oh I see thank you Futaba, Sojiro." Ren said.

"Hey don't worry it besides Lorelei is cute I'm sure she and I can get along just fine." Futaba said.

Ren smiled despite of Futaba's fears he believes that he can trust her and maybe with a bit of luck he can help her. He then hears the chain snap once again.

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 Hermit Persona

I have obtained the winds of blessing that

Shall lead to freedom and new power…

"(Huh the Hermit this time)." Ren thought.

"Thanks Futaba." Ren said.

"So anything I should know about you?" Ren asked.

Futaba began to speak to Ren about her hobbies and the like.

Lorelei likes Futaba.

May 11th

Shujin Academy

Today was the day many students dreaded. It was time for Mid-Term. During those three days he'd had gain another Confidant in the form of Mishima Yuuki. He'd only started this confidant was when he knew for sure that Ann wouldn't kill him.

Flashback

May 9th

Ren's classroom

Ren was putting away he stuff ready to go back to Leblanc when he was approached by Mishima.

"Oh Ren can I talk to you in private?" Mishima said.

"Sure Mishima-san." Ren said.

At an empty hallway and after Mishima checked around he spoke.

"I know that you're part of the Phantom Thieves Amamiya-San." Mishima said.

Ren was about to deny it but Mishima stopped him.

"Before you say anything Amamiya-san I'm not going to say anything about that. Kamoshida hurt a lot people myself included. Now do you know about the Phansite?" Mishima said as Ren nods.

"Yeah Ryuji told me about it. Why?" Ren said.

"I'm the admin of the Phansite I made the site to help you guys." Mishima said.

Ren's eyes went wide as Mishima told him this.

"So if you need anything I'll do everything I can to help." Mishima said.

Ren thought about this thanks to Mishima's Site they found their next target.

"Mishima I'm not part of the Phantom Thieves." Ren said.

At first Mishima was sad but them Ren spoke again.

"But I'm sure they would appreciate if they only get requests with full names. It would help them out." Ren said with a Joker like smile.

"Of course Ren." Mishima said as Ren hears a chain break…again.

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 Moon Persona

I have obtained the winds of blessing that

Shall lead to freedom and new power…

"(Ah the Moon for Mishima)." Ren thought.

"Well I have to get back hopefully Ann doesn't bronze my balls." Mishima said as he walks away.

Ren facepalms.

"God damn it Ryuji." Ren said.

End Flashback

Ren had finished the exams for the day and he was exhausted. Well mentally at least he was pretty sure that Ryuji and Ann are braindead. Well mostly Ryuji.

As he packs his bags Kawakami approaches Ren.

"Ah Ren you're I have a massage from Principal Kobayakawa. He wants you in his office." Sadayo said.

"Oh what for?" Ren asked.

"I don't know he didn't tell me." Sadayo said.

Ren sighs.

"Alright then I better go so that I won't get into trouble." Ren said.

"Probably for the best." Sadayo said as she escorts him to Kobayakawa's office. Once there he sees the principal.

"Ah Amamiya-San how are you in this day?" Kobayakawa asked.

"Quite well besides the usual dread of Exams." Ren said as Kobayakawa chuckled.

"Indeed anyway we were wondering about Lorelei today?" Kobayakawa asked.

"Oh right my guardian thought that Lorelei needed to stay at home during the Exams." Ren answered.

"Ah I see very well though I do ask that she comes at the 13th for the assembly we will have that day." Kobayakawa explained.

Ren thought it was weird but nods at that.

"Alright I'll let him know. Is there anything else?" Ren said.

"No Amamiya-san that will be all, take care now." Kobayakawa said.

Ren left and went back to Leblanc and explained to Sojiro about what happened.

May 13th

Shujin Academy

It was in the afternoon and all of the students are at the auditorium where Kobayakawa is on the mic and began to speak.

"Ever since that specific incident, Many of you have voiced concerns that I could no longer ignore. We believe that the mental health of our student body is absolutely vital, so we've acquired the services of a therapist." Kobayakawa said referring to Shiho's suicide attempt.

The students didn't believe him (especially the Thieves and Lorelei) they knew that he would be in deeper shit if he did nothing.

"The floor is yours, Doctor…" Kobayakawa said as a person walked out.

Said person is a tall, bespectacled man with brown, short unkempt hair and a small stubble underneath his chin. He wears a blue dress shirt tucked into his upturned khaki slacks with a checkered dark blue tie. He wears a white lab coat over the top. On his feet he wears open-toed sandals without socks. In his suit's chest pocket, he has a yellow pen and a staff ID that's further tied around his neck with a red strap.

Some of the female students were talking about how he might be hot. Lorelei who was on Ren's shoulders looked at him wondered why he made her feel queasy.

"It's nice to meet you all." The Therapist said.

"Whoa, his voice is sexy!" A female student said.

"Knock it off don't say that junk in front of Lorelei." Another female student said.

The Therapist was about to introduce himself when the mic went staticky.

Lorelei looked him a bit more as he messed with the mic. She felt something wrong she didn't know what but something was wrong.

"Do not worry my Kalki I'm sure it's of your imagination." Krishna said.

Lorelei nods as the therapist introduced himself as Takuto Maruki.

After that the assembly was over and they were leaving. When Ryuji stopped them.

"Yo. You ever expect this place to give a lick about our mental health?" Ryuji asked censoring himself.

"Nope." Lorelei bluntly said.

"Well, our school made national news. Maybe they figured that they'd look even worse if they didn't do anything for us." Ann said.

As Ryuji made fun of Maruki. He himself appears before them.

"Hey there. Sakamoto-kun and Takamaki-san right? That means these two are Amamiya-san and Lorelei-chan." Takuto said.

Ryuji asked how they knew their name and Maruki told them how the school informed him about them.

"What about Lorelei?" Ren said as his father mode was activating.

"Oh right. Despite the school hiring me, I'm under the employment of Narukami Margaret. My job being Lorelei's therapist." Takuto said.

Ren calmed down after that.

"I see I'll have to talk with Margaret later." Ren said as Lorelei lightly bops Ren's head.

"Don't mean to auntie Mar-Mar." Lorelei said with a pout.

"Ok, ok Lorelei I won't be mean to her." Ren said as he hugs her.

Maruki explained that school wanted to improve their mental health of the three of them since they were directly involved with Kamoshida. Maruki offers them snacks and ways to increase mental acuity.

Ren thinks about for a bit as he remembers Yu constantly complaining about metal aliments that shadows would throw at him. So having these sessions would help him. That and he is Lorelei's therapist.

"Ok I'll do it." Ren said as he holds out his hand. Maruki takes the hint and Shakes Ren's hand. Ren hears another chain breaking.

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 Councillor Persona

I have obtained the winds of blessing that

Shall lead to freedom and new power…

(The hell… that's not normal I know the Aeon can be a thing but the Councillor)? Ren Thought.

Ren says goodbye to Maruki as he goes back to class.

Bye bye Maruki-san. Lorelei said.

Soon school ended and they went back home. For tomorrow they would meet both a new ally and a new friend.
