Persona 4 Novelization Chapter 28

I own as much of Persona as you think I do. I own none of it.

Okay… It's Christmas time in Personaville. Yes, so this could be the shortest chapter as I write it, or not. Most of it is basically filler, as it is in the real game. Please enjoy. Sorry, but I'm really lazy when it comes to writing Chie/Yosuke stuff and I don't really bother making it very long.

By the way, if you have been faithfully following this story, I thank you. If you have only just started reading recently, I thank you for reading so far. For those of you who have become curious and wonder why I would ever waste my time writing all of this… I felt like it would be interesting to use my talents, what little I have, to do so.

December 23rd-

Souji relaxed with the fact that Adachi was safely behind bars and all was well. The fog was gone and no one had to worry anymore about the world being engulfed by the mist. All Souji had to do was wait for Nanako and Dojima to get better, and that would only be a matter of time.

It was evening in the Dojima household, and Souji decided to clean it for the first time in about five days. What could he say, he was a little preoccupied. Souji dusted the tabletops and unfortunately, found something disgusting in the fridge that tried to kill him.

"Note to self, don't leave something in there for over nine months," he thought as he brought out his sword as it somehow went scurrying away from him. How a fruit turned into a killing machine, Souji didn't know. Ameno-sagiri had nothing on the killer fruit.

When the monster from the fridge was finally dead, Souji bandaged his wounds and finished cleaning the house.

Souji looked upon the clean living room. He'd only be living there for about three more months or so. When Souji first got there, he would probably be ecstatic when December rolled around, and it was only three months to go. Now, as he saw the table where he sat and talked with Dojima over coffee, or the TV where he listened to the incessant singing of Nanako… Souji realized something. Souji didn't really want to leave. There was one other reason Souji didn't want to leave and it was only compounded when he went up to his room to go to bed.

He received a text message from Yukiko.

"It's Christmas Eve tomorrow. Would you like to spend time with me? Just the two of us. How does that sound?"

Yukiko… That's why Souji did not want to leave. Souji never thought he would find someone like Yukiko here. Souji really was not looking for friends when he came to Inaba, but it seemed like fate had other plans. Who knew that falling headfirst into a TV would find him the girl of his dreams? Plus, it didn't hurt that the little accident helped him become friends with a detective, a martial artist, a softie-at-heart sewer, an heir to an evil conglomerate, a guy he swore was a ninja in a past life with girlfriend issues, and a Frenchman who a Shadow of all things. To think that he was a capital A jackass when he first came…

He texted back to Yukiko… "I would love if you would spend some time with me because I would love to spend time with you."

December 24th-

To say Souji was nervous was an understatement. He had bought a little cake for the event. Souji almost thought about baking one, but he did not trust his cooking skills that much. When 6:30 p.m. arrived and the doorbell rang, Souji jumped to his feet so fast he almost knocked the chair over from the little table in the living room. Souji almost spilled the juice he was drinking all over his nice button-up shirt.

"Umm… Hi…," Yukiko greeted Souji as she came in.

"Hey," Souji returned the greeting, "So, do you want to come in and umm…" The nervousness was evident on his face. He never was this nervous. Thank god Rion or Yosuke was not here to see this. Rion would make those subtle comments in private over the phone or off to the side. Yosuke would make a big deal out of it and laugh at him. No… Teddie would be the worst. Teddie would tell everyone out in the open and very, very loudly.

"I'm glad you asked me to come," Yukiko said with a blush.

"Who else would I ask?" Souji responded with a smile. They had moved from the doorway to the living room, "Teddie?"

Yukiko chuckled. She asked, "So… D… Do you want to go up to your room?" She was never quite as nervous as she was before, but… she still was a little.

"Go on ahead;" Souji told her, "I'll get the cake. It isn't too heavy, is it?"

"It'll be okay, tonight," Yukiko smiled. "I think I'll work it off tonight…," She thought, "I didn't just think that…" She blushed inwardly.

She walked up the stairs and Souji soon joined her with the small cake in tow. Souji had bought it at Junes, and if it sucked… he'd kick the crap out of Yosuke. That sounded kind of fun, but it sounded like a lot of effort… especially on a day off. He promised himself that he would not kick Yosuke's ass unless the cake made him sick, or if Yukiko was displeased with the cake.

The pair sat down across from each other where Souji usually spent his time folding origami and translating. Funny… only a few months ago, Souji was telling her to get a job folding envelops so she could be self-sufficient and leave Inaba. Was it that long ago that Souji was choking down Yukiko's terrible cooking and yelling at reporters? In Souji's case, it was punching the harassing reporters who wanted to turn the Inn into Rise's striptease. "Good times," as Souji remembered punching the reporter in the mouth.

As they were staring at each other, Yukiko said to Souji, "My parents booted me out of the house tonight. I was helping out like normal, but my parents said that I was bothering them. They're being overprotective. I can go on a date without any help." She blushed.

"I'd hope so," Souji responded, "I would not want them to join us." Souji smirked, "Besides… I'm sure they have something special planned for each other anyways."

Yukiko blushed again and chuckled. "I do like them so much, but I didn't need to hear that."

"I'm having so much fun," Yukiko told Souji.

"Me too…," Souji responded.

"Thanks for the cake. It looks so good…," Yukiko commented. She reached inside her bag and pulled something out, "By the way, I have a present for you."

"Oh, you didn't have to…," Souji said with his head down.

"Here…," Yukiko shook her head as she placed a leather keychain in Souji's hand.

"It's amazing… Thank you," Souji said with a genuine smile. "I can't believe she got this for me," he thought.

Yukiko smiled, but her mood mellowed out soon after.

"What's wrong?" Souji asked.

"I know you won't be staying in Inaba forever," Yukiko said sadly, "So, I wanted you to take that when you go, for me. Since I'm going to be staying here, in this town."

"I'm leaving…," Souji thought, "She's staying… Is that what I really want?"

Yukiko suddenly started chuckling, "I should stop talking about depressing stuff like that. We have solved the case. Today… Today should be fun."

"I agree," Souji nodded.

She chuckled as she said, "Yosuke and Chie are sharing Christmas together too… That'll be interesting."

"Yeah… I have to agree with you on that," Souji nodded.

Yukiko took a deep breath as she said, "I've been wondering why I like you…"

Souji asked, "That is a good question. Do you regret falling for someone who's leaving?"

"N… No, it's nothing like that," Yukiko shook her head quickly, "I don't regret it all."

"Oh… okay," Souji said.

"Anyways, let's eat some cake," Yukiko suggested, "It looks so good."

"I hope you don't mind that I did not make it," Souji asked.

"I'm sure it'll taste wonderful," Yukiko smiled at him.

"Ladies first…," Souji told his girlfriend as he cut her a piece and placed it on a plate.

As the pair began eating the small cake, they discussed what they would be doing before Souji's departure in March. That made Souji a little sad when he thought about it. It made him realize how little time he would have left to share with Yukiko.

After the cake was consumed and they had cleaned the area of all sugar-like objects, they sat back down across from each other. It was getting a little awkward for Souji to just stare at Yukiko's face. His eyes kept drifting downwards. He could tell Yukiko was nervous from just being here.

Yukiko blushed as she asked suddenly, "Umm… What else do people do during Christmas? The Inn is always so busy during this time of the year, so I've never spent a Christmas night like this before." Her blush deepened as she said, "I've never had a boyfriend either. I'm so happy that you're my first boyfriend, Souji-kun."

"I'm happy you're mine…," Souji replied, "You're the first one I've shared a Christmas with too."

"Um… That's not the first time I've had that thought, either," Yukiko added, "Souji-kun…"

Yukiko suddenly got really flustered as she tried to get out, "Umm… Can… Can I stay here… tonight? I told my mother that I'll spend the night at Chie's place, but she's currently at the Inn under Yosuke's name. So I can stay here without anyone minding. I... I love you, Souji-kun."

Souji did not really know what to think at this point. Here was his chance of a lifetime, and he could take it. He reached over the little table and cupped Yukiko's soft face in his hands, and whispered softly, "I love you too." Just before they kissed, Souji told her, "Every second possible, I'm planning on spending with you." He slowly undid the yellow ribbon on the front of her blouse… (That's all I'm writing. Your imagination can do the rest, alright? If you want blow by blow account of this, I'm changing the ratings.)

---

Yosuke and Chie, like Yukiko had told Souji, were currently situated in a room at the Amagi Inn. It was a room that did not have sutras in it or spirits trying to spook Yosuke. They were sitting next to each other with their hands linked together. Yosuke and Chie were wearing yukata by then.

Chie said to Yosuke nervously, "We have to be careful. Yukiko told her mom that she was staying at my house and it wouldn't exactly look normal if she found me here."

"We'll be fine. It was not like she saw us when we ate," Yosuke told her, "Well, we could not exactly stay at my place for two reasons, anyways."

"Well, I get Teddie, but what else?" Chie asked.

Yosuke told her, "I shipped Teddie off to Kanji's house because you know he'd be a royal pain in the ass tonight."

"Well, of course he'd be," Chie said, "Imagine him bothering us today of all days. But you didn't answer my question."

"Well… It still involves Teddie. He left food in my room and spilt soda all over my floor. And now, now there's…," Yosuke was telling her.

"Roaches!?" Chie was freaking out, "I hate bugs!"

"Exactly why we're not staying here," Yosuke finished, "We're fumigating the place as we speak."

"Good…," Chie nodded, "So… Where did you stick Teddie?"

"I had him go to Kanji's place," Yosuke told her.

"Kanji's?" Chie looked confused, "Why there?"

"Because it's the place that would drive him the craziest," Yosuke replied, "Besides, where else would I send him? I couldn't send him to Souji's, obviously, and I wouldn't dare send him to Rise's or Naoto's."

"Rion, then?" Chie asked.

"Do you really think he wouldn't be busy?" Yosuke responded, "Well, I'm having Kanji knit his Teddie fur."

They looked at each other after chuckling at Teddie's fate. Chie looked abashed all of a sudden.

"What is it?" Yosuke asked.

"I have an idea," Chie said, blushing, "But…"

"I'm open to ideas," Yosuke smiled. He thought he might like where this is going.

"Umm… if we wait a while, I thought we could head down to the hot springs… together," Chie said, turning into a beet.

"Chie…," Yosuke responded in a daze. He was speechless.

It looked like there were no complaints to the suggestion as the time went by and they headed down towards the springs when they thought enough time had gone by. (Again, I could give more details, but yeah.)

---

Rion headed through the regular part of the Residential District to the higher-class area. He felt like a pauper already, but only a few years ago, he lived in a place like this. At least… he had a damn good piece of cake wrapped in some cellophane with him. If anyone told Rion he didn't belong, he would shove the cake up their ass. But, Rion did not want to waste the cake on some pompous fool. He had a delivery to make, which would probably cost him a limb. She just had to mention her cousin had visited for Christmas.

He buzzed the gate, praying that one of the two sane people in the household would answer it, not the other two… especially if the psycho cousin had arrived. Rion breathed a sigh of relief when it was the secretary who answered.

"Who may I ask is there?" the secretary asked.

"It's Ishinata-kun, Yakushiji-san," Rion said respectfully.

"You do like to play with fire, Rion-san," he responded. Rion swore he was either chuckling or smirking on the other end.

"I do try, Sir," Rion told him.

"I'll send her out. I think she wants to see you regardless," Yakushiji said. He was chuckling.

The gate opened, and Rion shook his head. That would have to have alerted the grandfather and the cousin as well. He was screwed regardless. At least he would have the rest of the cake to eat with his remaining limbs, as long he was not shot. Rion hated getting shot. The last person to shoot him was coming out to see him. "Damn Kunino-sagiri…"

The girl who came to meet him was dressed in her usual winter attire, hat and all. She was carrying something in her hand.

"You're a fool, you know that," Naoto told him disapprovingly as she reached the young man in glasses, "You just want to get killed."

"That's the idea," Rion smiled at her, "I brought you a piece of cake since well… yeah."

She smiled back at him… A pure and a smile that could not be affected by the person that came up behind her at that very moment.

"Sir…," Rion said respectfully. He noticed the sidearm that was with Naoto's grandfather and was a good idea to be civil.

The grandfather said quickly and gruffly, "Just be quick, then hurry up and get out of here."

He walked away, but Rion swore he saw eyes watching him in the back of his head.

"Now that that's settled," Rion said with a sigh of relief, "Your cake is waiting for you."

"You actually sounded worried," Naoto chuckled at him, but she had a relieved look on her face too.

"He has a gun," Rion responded, "I hate getting shot, you know that."

Naoto smiled at him with a small blush, "You made that cake, didn't you? I have something for you." She pulled out a watch and gave it to him.

"I need a new watch," Rion responded cheerfully, "Getting slammed against a wall by a Shadow does not do well for a watch."

Naoto chuckled as she blushed, "This watch has a special feature. It shows how far away you are from me."

"So, I'm stalking you?" Rion smirked.

"No!" Naoto blushed, "My watch have the same feature."

"So, we're stalking each other?" Rion smirked, but he was smiling.

Naoto just shook her head in frustration, "It's just… not really going to work once you leave for school. It will read "out of range"."

"Well… That's why I'll make sure I come and visit," Rion said. He gently pulled her into a hug, which made her blush.

"Thanks… Thanks for staying friends with me," Naoto said to him slowly. You could tell she wanted to say something different.

"I told you that when we broke up that I would never ever forget you," Rion responded.

Rion broke off the hug when Naoto's cousin came up from behind. He noticed the long scabbard at her side of her green coat, and it was time for him to leave with all of his limbs intact.

If Rion thought he was going to get the rest of the night to just relax and eat cake in peace, he was sorely mistaken.

He should have expected to see someone waiting for him when he got back. He should have expected it to be Rise, but he still shook his head when he saw her. "It wasn't like I expected anything less, but she could have called." Rion thought.

"Hi… Senpai," Rise said, "I wanted to see how you were doing."

"Is that the real reason you're here?" Rion asked with a smile.

"Are you accusing me of something?" Rise asked with a cutesy smile, "Cause maybe…"

"Come… I can't eat a whole cake by myself," Rion rolled his eyes, "Don't give me puppy eyes!"

"But they work so well!" Rise exclaimed as she locked her hands with his as Rion led her into the little condo.

As Rise sat down and was handed a piece of cake by Rion, "Thanks… Making your own cake again, huh?"

"Yeah, it's not attacking me like yours would," Rion chuckled and he dodged the flying fork that came afterwards, "At least you're not making an omelet."

"You're terrible, Senpai!" Rise pretended to cry and Rion laughed. They both chatted about random things.

Rise went to get something to drink as Rion relaxed back on the couch.

"Well, the rest of this year should be pretty laid-back," Rion said to her after a while, "For you guys at least."

Rise nodded only half-paying attention, "Laid-back…" She sat on the couch with him, and then lay down on top of him. Rion found himself stuck.

"Umm…," Rion said, "This is awkward."

Rise said from her position, which constituted of her head just past Rion's lap, so his head was staring right at her chest, "Riony… Umm… Since we're all different parts of our selves… You remember my Shadow, right?"

"Yes…," Rion rolled his eyes. This position was very awkward. He knew where this was going.

"Wells… I can show you that part of me," Rise had a glazed look with that crazy smile, "I don't have to be home tonight."

Rion took the bottle from her that she had taken from his fridge. He was suspicious. It was the sake he was saving for after he finished his entrance exams. "I can't leave her alone for a minute. She's such a lightweight anyways."

"I think I'm fine sweetheart," Rion told her, "I don't like to take advantage of drunken girls."

"B…But…," Rise said slurred.

"No buts," Rion responded, "Time for you to go to sleep. You need rest, tipsy girl."

"Aww…," Rise said to him. She was suddenly quite coherent as she closed her eyes, "I love you, Rion-kun."

Rion brushed back one of Rise's ponytails that had fallen over her face and grasped her hand, "I love you too."

---

Souji came back down after what he considered the best time of his life. There were no words to express how he felt about that experience. His girlfriend was still up there. He thought about it, "I'm coming back. No matter what, I'm coming back."

Souji pulled out a glass, filled it full of water and downed it. He smiled as went back upstairs. He had the rest of the night.

December 25th-

The whole group met up at Junes after their wonderful nights. Well, Souji, Chie, Yukiko, and Yosuke had better nights than Rise. She woke up with a headache. Yosuke was sitting across from Chie, while Rion was sitting next Rise this time. She was next to Teddie as well. Souji was next to Yukiko as well.

"So the case is closed for reals this time," Yosuke told them from the large bench.

Naoto told them, "I think we can safely leave this to the police. Adachi has confessed his crimes, so I presume that Namatame's presumed guilt will be reexamined as well."

"I see…," Chie said, "Then that really wraps it up."

Rise asked the bear, "What'll you do now, Teddie? You're not planning on going back over there, are you?"

"You aren't allowed," Souji said to him.

Kanji commanded, "You better not, you dumb bear! You don't know how much you worried us last time…"

Teddie was nervous as he said, "I… I won't suddenly disappear like that again!"

"Damn straight you won't! Man, just stay here, alright?" Yosuke exclaimed.

Souji received a phone call and he picked it up. "Hold on a second," he said as he picked it up. It was Dojima.

"Hey, it's me," Dojima said.

"Hi," Souji asked.

"Good news. It looks like they're letting Nanako come home for a bit."

"Really, that's great," Souji responded.

"She's awake again, and she's got a good amount of strength back," Dojima explained, "All goes well, she might be able to leave the hospital for the time being. As for me, I just need to see a doctor regularly. I'm planning on coming home with Nanako today."

"That sounds perfect," Souji told his uncle.

"Sorry, I had to stick you with all the housework. I'll make it up to you somehow. I'll see you later," Dojima said as he hung up.

Souji told everyone as he put away his phone, "Nanako can come home today."

Yukiko was elated, "Really!? Nanako-chan's coming home!? I'm so happy for her."

"Me too… I'm so glad…," Teddie said slowly getting more emotional, "The fog's all gone over here because everyone tried so hard… And now Nana-chan's getting better too!"

"Nanako-chan tried hard too," Rise said with a smile. She started sobbing, "Sh... She's such an amazing girl."

Teddie started crying and Rise started hugging the bear-Shadow-human thingy.

"Seriously! Thank heavens she's okay," Yosuke said.

"You think I don't agree?" Souji said with a smile.

Rise was still crying, and Rion was rolling his eyes. Rion did push up his glasses when Rise punched Teddie, "Where're you touching!" She went from crying to pissed off in a heartbeat.

"Augh!" Teddie was in pain and it was about to get worse when Rion started to drag him off by the back of his collar. "Hey!" Teddie yelled.

Rion pushed up his glasses with his left hand as he dragged him away, "I just need to teach you on how to treat a girl." Rion had an evil look on his face.

The group started laughing as Teddie returned a few seconds later, scared out of his wits. Rion was chuckling at him and the job was now to calm down Yukiko.

Chie turned to Souji and said, "Well… one thing's certain… It's party time! Let's throw a big Christmas party for Nanako-chan!"

"A party you say!? I'm sure Nana-chan will be delighted," Teddie said gleefully.

"We'll need a cake then," Yukiko told them.

Those words scared Souji. "She's not suggesting what I'm thinking she's suggesting?"

Yosuke was echoing his thoughts when he said, "G… Guys… Please say you're not going to."

Rise asked, "Huh? We're gonna make one."

Chie made it sound obvious, "Of course we're gonna make one."

Yukiko scared Souji, "I've already researched the ingredients."

"Hey… W… Wait a sec! Whoa there!" Yosuke tried to stop them, "That's way too tall an order for you!"

"Let's go to the grocery department!" Chie sounded way too enthusiastic, "C'mon Naoto-kun, you too!"

She looked nervous. The only experience with cooking she had was that disaster at Rion's, and she voiced it, "B… But I've never baked a cake!"

"Don't worry. Neither have we!" Yukiko replied.

This scared Souji even more, "God help us…"

The girls were attempting to bake a cake at Souji's house and the boys and Nanako were sitting around the kotatsu. Dojima was sitting on the couch.

"It's so warm!" Nanako voiced her joy about the new kotatsu.

"So this is the fabled kotatsu," Teddie said in awe.

Nanako exclaimed, "I was really looking forward to the new kotatsu!"

Dojima said to the group, "Yeah, you talked about it all the time at the hospital." He told them, "Nanako's going back for a close checkup tomorrow, but at this rate, the doctors say she can leave the hospital soon."

"That's what we want to hear," Souji said.

Nanako said solemnly, "If I'd gotten better sooner, we would've been able to buy the kotatsu together. Sorry."

"Don't worry about it. It wasn't your fault," Souji told her.

"Okay…," Nanako responded, "Next time, let's go together!"

As Souji nodded, Chie exclaimed from the kitchen, "Sorry for the wait!"

"Oh no! The Christmas version of Mystery Food X is about to be served!" Yosuke hung his head in dismay.

Kanji held his head high, "Bring it on, I'm ready! I'm got my insurance card ready and everything."

Rion smirked at that.

The cake was served and a piece was giving to everyone.

Nanako was really excited at the presence of a cake, "It's a cake!"

"Hey! It's bigger than I imagined!" Dojima was surprised at the size.

Kanji interrupted, "Wait, Nanako-chan! I'll be the first one to…" As Nanako took a bite, Kanji yelled, "NOOOOO!!!!"

She told them, "It's delicious!"

Souji wasn't sure if she was being nice or if it was really delicious. He would have to make sure.

"It tastes really good!" she continued.

"Th… That can't be…" Yosuke was dumbfounded, "No… Has she lost all sense of taste?"

The rest of them all took a bite. Souji was more than surprised at the taste. It was actually edible, and more so, it was good.

"Did you guys really make this?" Yosuke asked.

"Huh? O… Of course we did," Chie answered nervously.

"Does it actually taste like something?" Yukiko asked.

"It's not hot, is it?" Rise questioned them, "How is it Kanji? Hm?"

"It's amazing!" Kanji answered while eating the cake.

"Don't talk with your mouth full," Rion retorted.

The girls looked happy. Chie spoke, "You know what they about true talent not having to show off? Turns out we had good taste in cooking after all."

Naoto sighed, "Then again, this one was our third attempt after all…" She muttered, "And using Rion's recipe."

Teddie told the Junes boy, "Hey, Yosuke! Chie-chan and the others really are talented chefs! Three stars for sure!"

Yosuke was dumbfounded, "I… Impossible… This actually tastes good!" He looked at them, "Wait, I didn't already pass out, did I? This isn't a dream, is it?"

Teddie looked at Nanako while the girls were talking, "Umm… Nana-chan, guess what I have…?" He pulled out a gift, "A Christmas present for you!"

He gave it to Nanako, "Oh! It looks just like you!" It was a Teddie doll.

"I wish I could have made it look better." Teddie told her, "But I thought it'd keep you company while you're at the hospital, Nana-chan."

"Pedobear alert!" Souji thought.

"Oh, and it's made from 100% Teddie fur. I'm a guy who's all about using all-natural materials."

Dojima seemed crept out too as he said, "I… Isn't that nice of him, Nanako? Teddie fur?"

"Uh huh!" Nanako answered, "Thank you Teddie!"

"I have to thank you all again," Dojima said, "Adachi confessed to the two murders. He insists it was him who hung the bodies, too. There are still things unclear about his story, but he's most likely going to pay for his crimes. Anyway, this was one strange case. If what you said about a world inside a TV was true, then everything might make sense. Though I still don't believe it… Some things in this world just can't be explained. Like Nanako… She made a miraculous recovery, and she's as healthy as ever. Back in the day, my old senpai in the force told me something. "There's an underside to everything that you can never see." This case has made me think about a lot of things." He looked at Souji, "You've helped out so much. It was supposed to be the other way around. There isn't much time left until spring, but I hope I can do some catching up until then."

Chie said, "That's right, you're only here until spring, huh?"

"Senpai, you're going back, too?" Rise said sadly.

"It won't be the same without you," Naoto said with her head down.

Teddie asked innocently, "Sensei? Are you going somewhere?"

"I don't exactly want to go back," Souji said truthfully.

"I don't think your parents would like that," Dojima said.

As they looked down, Yosuke said, "C'mon, spring's a long way off, right? Let's have as much fun as we can until then!"

"H… Hey, don't get too carried away!" Dojima said worriedly, "My sis would kill me if you got held back a year!"

Yosuke smirked, "Oh, but then you wouldn't have to go back then, right?"

The party went on, and Souji spent some more of Christmas with Yukiko. This year's Christmas Eve and Christmas was the best ever and he was sad that it ever had to end.

---

Fun… wasn't it? Short, yes.

Okay, for my two faithful reviewers, and if you've stayed with me for the past 300k, I'll give you my short attempt at being funny. This is what happens when you fight Ameno-sagiri one too many times.

---

After Souji misses Ameno-sagiri with his sword for the hundredth time.

"God, you suck," Yosuke tells him.

"You try it then," Souji challenges Yosuke.

"Go, Susano-O!" Yosuke slashes his card with his kunai, "Brave Blade!"

The attack misses, causing Ameno-sagiri to counter with "Mabufudyne!" and "Masukunda!"

"You both suck," Rion explained, "How could you not know its weak point?"

"What its weak point?" Yosuke asked.

"Show us then," Souji commanded.

Rion drew one of his ninjato and ran up to Ameno-sagiri, stabbing it in the eye.

"Damn you! I can not tell you the truth if I can not see it!"

"That was ridiculously obvious," Yosuke sighed.

"At least it won't attack us with that laser anymore," Souji said.

---

Okay, see you when I can post again. Only a few more chapters left.
