Persona 5 Royal: tmdrago Special Edition
By Tayla Drago
Episode #32 - Touring inside of a Museum
A new hideout with the four Phantom Thieves is on a walk-way area for Keiko, Morgana, Ryuji, and Ann to gather there to talk about stealing Madarame's heart as their next target. Since he uses his students to make art to be his own work 'but it isn't' to have one old man killed, Nakano's life to be ruined and changed a little thanks to them, and Yusuke will be next since he wants to leave but he's too scared to do anything to even admit the whole thing. So it wasn't too late to change it all. With Keiko leaving afterwards to go somewhere else next….Getting Persona skills with Igor, Caroline, and Justine's help at the Velvet Room 'while also starting a Confidant/Social Link with the twins'.
Justine: And what of it?
Caroline: We're just doing what the Inmate needs.
Or so they say….
Tayla: If you say so then, girls.
Moving on of the topic at hand…As Keiko was finishing up from selling a lot they've gotten to buy some armor for Morgana to equip him to look good in battle, and playing a little game to get something from the vending machine.
Iwai: (Looks like I might have myself a new favorite customer. A high school girl student.)
I guess he does. Keiko leaves afterwards...When will she ask Iwai about the gun thing he gave to her...? Soon I bet. Heading back to the hideout of the access hall ways where Ryuji and Ann were waiting for Keiko and Morgana to wait be all set to go to the Metaverse Palace of Madarame's museum area for the Phantom Thieves to investigate some more 'while also training there at the same time'.
Morgana: We're back and we're all set to head on out. To the Metaverse for the Phantom Thieves to make our move.
And they do it...Arriving from the real world to the Metaverse to transform while arriving from outside of the Palace for Keiko to let them know of her catchphrase to say to her friends.
Keiko: Here we go again...Team, let's move out. Sorry, it's just something I wanted to say those words as a type of super hero. Suit up! Code name – Joker!
Morgana: Suit up! Code name – Mona!
Ryuji: Suit up! Code name – Skull!
Ann: Suit up! Code name – Panther!
Besides seeing Justine and Caroline from outside of the Palace to be near another door of the Velvet Room when Keiko can go in at any time...
Caroline: We're right here if you need us, Inmate, so don't you forget it!
Justine: More Personas will be under way soon enough.
Good to know already than in this beginning of this chapter/episode here.
Keiko: Thanks again, you two.
For Morgana, Ryuji, and Ann to not be seeing this again to continue on, Keiko can see the twins only.
Morgana: Ah, Joker...?
Keiko: Huh...? Oh! Right! I'm ready, Mona. Let's get going.
All set and ready to go now.
Morgana: Don't forget, we got a job to do. At least you keep on track and Panther too. (I just wish Ryuji does it sometimes as well when his head isn't a complete blank with no brain inside.)
And they've arrived to sneak in by jumping over the walls to enter the back way to get inside of Madarame's place for the four Phantom Thieves were ready for anything. Joker, Skull, Mona, and Panther know what they have to do. Getting around the hallway rooms of the other portraits on the walls, it had lots of lasers on the side walls to go off if anyone walks through it. That's not good.
Morgana: Joker, wait!
She stops to see the trap around the walls.
Keiko: When did this thing get set up? It wasn't here the last time.
Morgana: I guess it just happened. It'll trip the security to go off, we can't slip up.
Ryuji: But how was this done so quickly?
Ann: The rumors are spreading fast from Madarame's plagiarism.
Well, there was still a way to get through it without tripping any of the alarms.
Morgana: Joker, can you do a fast slide in?
Keiko: I have been playing soft ball at gym class during school. I think I can give it a try if everyone else can follow my lead.
For Keiko to stand next to the thing to back up a little, runs, slides to ducking down, jumping over it, and she and the others made it.
Morgana: It worked! Just keep on doing it if we come across more of these things. Let's keep going.
And do so to be fighting off Madarame's security guards to be Shadows to keep on going...Walking around the hallways some more and slide ducking more security lasers, to finally seeing more Shadows guarding around the main entrance part of the Palace. Going through the other side from the golden statue, there was another room to enter into next for them to not go in yet, but they soon will.
Ann: Who knows what will be in the next room once we go up a bit further, right...?
Morgana: And the securities will be even tighter as well. So be ready for anything, Skull...
For Morgana and Ann to look at Ryuji to try not to mess things up, but not for Keiko.
Ryuji: Why's everyone but Joker lookin' at me like that?
I think everyone 'and to Keiko/Joker's point of view' for them all to do just fine.
Keiko: We'll be fine. Let's head up the stairs.
And up they go...Another room to have some lock doors to duck through other lasers to find some safe room to heal back up and to keep on moving for the four Phantom Thieves. Having a lot more Shadows 'as security guards' to be stopped, to also get some more items and treasure chests to open up, and more arts all over the walls was something else; they kept on sneaking around the place and attacking the Shadows little by little and seeing one security card to use on the lasers to shut some of them down.
Ann: Joker, use this to turn off some of the other lasers to pass through the rest without any trouble.
She does touch the system to make it happen, and some use a hook shot to get across to the other side of the room.
Keiko: That was easy for all those things to be done. Now let's head upstairs.
Entering in another part of the room, one of the doors wasn't opening for them to for the system to kick it down. With a lot more Shadows from outside of the room glass to see right through them, they see another golden vase for Morgana to spot it first.
Morgana: Hey, Treasure...No way we're leaving this one behind...Look how shiny it is!
This wasn't Madarame's but Morgana just jumps right in to hold the item.
Ryuji: Mona, get down. We're not here for Treasure like this one-Wait! I think you just step on somethin'!
That's not good at all.
Ann: Is that bad?
Keiko felt something to move away from and to try to warn the others.
Keiko: Stand back!
She gets out fine. But for Ann, Ryuji, and Morgana to be trapped in a laser type of wall, all three of them were stuck.
Morgana: Crap! I just tripped over a trap!
Ryuji: Nice goin', Mona! So...How do we get out of this mess? Joker, got any ideas?
Keiko: Maybe I can...
Using her dagger to cut the lasers down, which was no good to be burned.
Keiko: Well, that didn't work.
Morgana: Those lasers are hard to go through, we're going to find another way around to get us out, Joker. You're the only one who can do it.
Ann: Yes! You're the only one who's not caught like the rest of us.
With no other choice to try freeing the others, Keiko was on her own for a bit.
Keiko: (On my own...?) I'll see what I can do. You guys just stay put for me, without touching the lasers.
Morgana: Just find a machine that can turn this off for each of us one at a time, fight your way through, and don't get caught by any other lasers, Joker, you can do this.
Keiko/Joker will do her best to free all three of her friends with some work. From climbing up top on the ceiling part of the museum, to waiting from above to attack the Shadows from below that show up, a type of hide and sneak up attack thing. Looking around some more as Keiko discovers two buttons of a red and blue one pressing them both...One opens on the left side of the glass walls to free Ann first.
Ann: Thanks, Joker! Let's go free the other two next.
Keiko: That's one down to freeing Panther first.
They climb up again for Keiko spots foot print from her Third Eye ability to follow them to the next button to be hiding somewhere, that leaves to a huge painting to remove with the button there to press it and...this one frees Ryuji now to meet up with the two girls.
Ryuji: Awesome, Joker! You're so hot...It's time to free the cat!
Keiko: And with Skull freed, there's one more to go.
The three searched around to find the last button to be somewhere in the room, or hidden right under their noses for Morgana was the last one to free since he was stuck in the middle to set off the trap by accident. He loves treasures to try getting, doesn't he? Keiko senses something inside the vent to crawl through for the three to do. And remember the room next to the trap was locked? They sneaked right from the inside of it through the vents instead to have full control of the system to shut it down from there; the only problem was-they needed to find a password to put it into the computer to shut it down. There was a way...Keiko, Ryuji, and Ann sneak back outside from the door to hear two guards talking about it.
Guard #1: Any signs of anything odd or fishy?
Guard #2: No. And you changed the password too for the security lasers?
Guard #1: I did it just in case. It's "hello".
Guard #2: What?
Guard #1: No really, it's hello. #07734. It says hello when you turn it upside down.
Guard #2: Kind of childish to come up with if you ask me...
No kidding, it is but a good thing for Keiko, Ryuji, and Ann to rush back into the room to type the word in the password #07734 straight to the computer system for the security to shut it down. Once it was entered, the entire laser around Morgana was down for him to move again.
Morgana: Thanks, everyone! I'm free!
Keiko: Now the whole gang's back. And Mona, please be more careful next time. (And he says about us watching out for any traps.)
Moving back to seeing the item being real to be fine to get with no traps for Morgana felt something from it.
Morgana: I still want this. Something about this vase is drawing me...
Keiko senses it too for it was more than a hidden item inside.
Keiko: Well, I guess we can try it again.
Breaking it, only for...a giant gem-like being was floating right next to the Phantom Thieves? What kind of item was it supposed to be? Or better yet...what type of strange Shadow was this thing?
Ann: A flying gem?
Morgana: So that's why I was so drawn to this thing. Joker, attack it!
Like hitting the gem itself?
Keiko: Are you sure, Mona?
Morgana: I'll explain later! Just do it!
And she does to get crushed and to reveal what they call a Regent type of thing to come to life, it looks like a type of ghost.
Ryuji: A...Ghost...The hell...?
Tayla: Persona #32 - Regent
Regent is based on the Regent Diamond, a 141 carat diamond originating from India. It was named as such when it was purchased by Regent Philippe II, Duke of Orléans.
Anyways, all four of them attack the Regent to try to stay alive...Using some whip from Ann's whipping, Ryuji's many bat hits, Morgana's Zorro's strong wind attacks, and Keiko having one Persona skills of wind power and shooting at Regent, it becomes some type of power to go within Keiko's mask without putting up a fight. Nice! So different from any other Personas they've run into so far.
Morgana: Way a go, everyone!
Keiko: That thing's easy to have for so much power...
Ann: But what was that thing?
Morgana explains the other part of the Regent to fighting and then getting it for power...
Morgana: Those are Regent types of Shadow/Persona, Lady Ann. Or rather be called when they're gems at first are Treasure Demons.
Tayla: Treasure Demons – these things come from Palaces or Mementos. When opening a shiny treasure chest, there is a small chance the shadow of a rare Persona will pop up instead and attempt to escape from the player. The chance of their appearance in Mementos can be boosted by venturing there during bad weather. Fleeing from a Treasure Demon in Mementos will not cause it to re-spawn immediately. The player has to enter another battle with a Shadow to respawn the Treasure Demon on the field. This may be exploited to spawn the Treasure Demon that the player needs to complete the Compendium. Causing The Reaper to appear and engage it in battle also helps to re-spawn the Treasure Demon afterwards, however, the player's speed must be high to escape the Reaper battle.
When engaged in battle, it will remain stumbled for a few turns but quickly flee. Knocking it down and then asking it to join will obtain the Persona instantly.
The difference with Element demons is that Treasure Demons cannot be created via fusion but can only be negotiated and obtained in the dungeon (Element demons on the other hand never respond to negotiation).
Ryuji: Use for power, but not to use as Personas in battle...I think I get it...
Keiko: Then let's leave it like that for now. (Cool, more power to gather from those things.) Time to keep on going.
Now they can keep on going for the Phantom Thieves to be more careful this time. Gong further in the room, sneaking from the back side to see a huge hole on the ground.
Ryuji: Wow! Watch out, Joker, there's a huge pit down there!
But all three of them jumped on top of it, nothing but an illusion flooring arts of the human eye to mess with. Those things are cool.
Keiko: Skull, it's a fake. It's one of those amazing art works to trick people's eyes with.
Ann: Looks and feels fine to us.
Ryuji felt silly going down with them, falling down hard and feeling like an idiot there.
Morgana: Try looking harder the next time you see something, will you, Skull?
Ryuji: I meant to do that...
Walking a bit more from room to room 'even the male and female restrooms', to moving around more to get to another Safe Room to hold up for a bit...they were able to move on afterwards.
Ann: I can't believe we were in the boy's bathroom.
Keiko: It's just for the treasure to get it all, Panther, see? We're out now.
And one more in the girl's bathroom next.
Ann: Oh...! Give me a break! Skull! Mona!
Mona: Sorry!
Getting out there right away.
Ryuji: It's not like this was a perverted thing to be in, Panther, please!
Then they did some fresh healing up, with power, more equipment, things to add in, and they keep on going. And fighting more Shadows, to be doing well for these guys – with more treasure chests to open up, heading to the next room for more lasers to be put up and more security Shadows to trap them.
Keiko: Another trap?
Ryuji: Can we still fight while trying to find an exit?!
More Shadows to battle, the four Phantom Thieves have to be ready for anything.
Shadow Security Guard: Intruders in the Second Exhibition Room! Apprehend them at once!
They do it in a hurry to cut their way out and escape somewhere else. To spot another big painting to remove off the walls, another switch was hiding behind it.
Ann: There's our way out!
Keiko presses the button to keep on going where they need to go to next, as well as getting the first one of the 3 Will Seeds at a time from here to there. With the lasers down for both side doors, the four kept on going in the next room to spot something different or another way to look and feel like a garden type of room.
Morgana: Check this place out. Yes...I'm having a feeling where we need to go next, let's check it out.
With them going through the slide doors to open up quickly for them to walk to the room, to see another door being blocked by electrical walls to shock anyone who touches it. Keiko uses it with her dagger to see how powerful it was.
Keiko: More traps to keep us out. But I do feel something odd within the next room.
Ryuji: All the way from here, Joker? That's pretty scary and still kicks ass.
Seems like they have found another way to get around it or by turning off the security systems of it.
Ann: I guess we can get past them?
Morgana: Not like this, no. But whatever's inside, it must be well protected.
Soon enough, Ann spots something written on the wall sign.
Ann: Hey, there's something written here. Look...
All four of them see it.
Keiko: A sign, but what does it say?
Ann reads it for the others to hear it out.
Ann: It says - "All personnel: This door can only be opened via the security room that lies beyond it...Please be cautious, as it is possible to open from the outside."
In other words, no one can open it in any way unless it opens from beyond this point from the other side.
Ryuji: So...It's not gonna open?! How the hell are we goin' to get inside?! There has to be another way!
Maybe not in the Metaverse...But Morgana remembers the same door design somewhere back in the real world, remember...?
Morgana: Wait, wait! The door...I think I've seen the strange patterns on it from somewhere...Yeah, there's no mistaking it. I know that door!
Keiko: You do, Mona? Then please tell us.
About that part...
Morgana: I'll explain more when we leave here. I promise, we're all done for today.
Just like that, huh? But luckily, it's for a good reason.
Ryuji: Why...?
Morgana: The door from the real-world will be the key to opening this one. In any case, come on! Let's head on back! We'll hatch a plan to come back here later, this will work.
And they do it for Ryuji and Ann to follow Morgana to getting out of the Museum Palace, as Keiko does the same to place her trust on him.
Keiko: (I suppose we should listen to Morgana for the time being...)
For they leave the Palace until the next time they come back for them to return to the real world again for the Nav to do so. As Keiko, Morgana, Ann, and Ryuji are right outside of Madarame's shack home, they needed to know how they can unlock the door for them to get through somehow back in the Palace of the Metaverse.
Ann: Okay, so...How're we supposed to get past that door...?
Ryuji: I dunno...You think there's some kinda off switch somewhere?
If there was one, Keiko would've found one but she didn't.
Keiko: I would've sensed it if there was one in the same room we were in, but there wasn't. Sorry.
That's when Morgana's head pops out of Keiko's school bag to say something next...
Morgana: Looks like this is where I come in.
Yep, Morgana had a plan.
Ann: Mona...?
Keiko: That's right, you have a plan of some kind, right? What is it?
Morgana: You got it, Madame Keiko. I have a suspicious place in mind. Remember? This shack is the basis for Madarame's Palace. I actually scouted it out the last time we were here.
From him wandering around while Yusuke was trying to model Ann at first? That's what Morgana's been doing.
Keiko: (When we waited for Yusuke to finish modeling Ann, or tried to. That's it!) Good thinking, Morgana, I wish I would've done the same thing.
Ryuji: Whoa...So this was your plan from the start...?
Morgana: Correct.
Well, that and he was bored to see something right in front of him to be just luck.
Ann: ...You only went "scouting" because you were bored.
Ann has gotten Morgana right there.
Ryuji: So? Where's the this suspicious place?
Morgana: It's on the second floor. I noticed an unnaturally hefty lock on the door up there.
To put the two doors from the Metaverse to the one in Madarame's shack...it matches.
Keiko: Now I see...Those two are the same for one to work here to allow us to go through back from the Metaverse's side.
Ann: If it's locked, that means there's something in there he doesn't want people to see.
Ryuji: But don't we wanna be openin' the door in the Palace?
That's the whole point to it all. After all, the big problem was allowing to go to Madarame's place with a reason from Yusuke to make it happen.
Morgana: Yes, and we're going to do that by opening the real one in front of Madarame's eyes. Basically, we're going to change his cognition that the door is unopenable.
From opening the one in the real world, will let them through back at the Metaverse of Madarame's Palace.
Ann: In other words...when we open the one in Madarame's house, will that area in his Palace open on its own?
Keiko: I think it'll all work out from here to there kind of thing.
Keiko gets it, for Ann to understand a little, but not Ryuji just yet.
Ryuji: I'm not really gettin' it...Is that gonna work?
Morgana: Trust me! There's no chance it won't open! ...I think! You understand, don't you, Madame Keiko?
Here we go again...For Keiko seems to get where Morgana was going with all of this.
Keiko: It can't hurt to try, right? Let's do it.
Ryuji: Well yeah, but..
Again, Ryuji had an odd feeling from Morgana's planning to at least have everyone believe in him like Keiko does and hopefully Ann will too.
Morgana: Why don't you trust me, Ryuji?! It's worth a try!
Ann: But even then, there's still that hefty lock we have to deal with in reality, right?
In case anyone hasn't forgotten, Morgana was a tool maker to also pick locks to open up with his small body.
Morgana: Oh, that'll be a breeze. Just give me a hairpin and I'll handle it.
Keiko: He's a tool maker after all.
Morgana: That I am! It'll take some time though. Doing everything by myself in front of Madarame would be impossible. If only there was someone who could distract him for a while...
All three of them were looking at Ann to be the only one since Yusuke wants her to model naked for him.
Ann: ...Huh?
Ryuji: Oh...Ohhh!
Now Ryuji was catching on.
Keiko: It's you or me, Ann, since you have to model and Yusuke likes me a lot.
Ryuji: I mean, yeah...How are we even gonna get into his house? We'd get reported for sure if we forced ourselves in...
Ann didn't get it yet.
Ann: What?
Ryuji: I hate to see Keiko go in there with the pervert Yusuke...So I guess the only way is...havin' you go nude.
Now she knows...
Ann: WHAT!?
Keiko: Sorry, Ann, but you're our last hope we have.
Morgana: And fancy you say that, Ryuji. I was just thinking the same thing.
I don't think Ann likes the idea at all.
Ann: This isn't funny! Keiko!
Keiko: Wait, there's another way to go around it...
Ryuji: Yeah, we're not sayin' you should really get naked.
How else will they get inside without a reason why Ann is allowed in for Morgana to take care of the rest.
Morgana: It's simply the best excuse for you to enter Madarame's house without raising suspicions...So, we'd like you to play the role of the decoy, Lady Ann.
Ann: This is way too sudden...I mean, I don't know where the locked door is.
Well, that's for Morgana to be there by Ann's side for this one while getting the lock door to open.
Morgana: Don't worry, I'll accompany you.
Ann: But that's still technically only me...Worst comes to worst, what if I get found out...?
Morgana: We can run into the Palace! ...Or something?
It was the only chance they could take for Ann to be the decoy and Morgana to do the unlocking part.
Ann: Is that really gonna work?! I mean, you're not giving me much confidence in this plan! Do I have to be the bait? I hate to see Keiko in the arms of Kitagawa-Kun to also be worse, but still...!
Keiko: I already have a boyfriend, Ann, it's the only way. Sorry...
Looks like Ann has to do it.
Ann: Why can't one of you guys go nude?!
Keiko: Not me!
Keiko covers herself to not be part of Yusuke's modeling at all for Ryuji to day dream.
Ryuji: Seein' you two would be nice...Still, this is Yusuke we're talkin' about. And it ain't what he wants to see me naked.
Morgana gets scared to imagine Ryuji naked in his mind.
Morgana: No thank you!
Ann: Then make it so he does!
Well, maybe there is more to the planning...
Ryuji: Ann, all you gotta do is trick Yusuke, have him take you to that room, then just open the door...
Ryuji was enjoying this way too much.
Ann: You make it sound so easy, Ryuji...! And Keiko, I don't want you to be in the worse spot than you already are with Kitagawa-Kun who's in love with you...But if there's no other way...I don't...I don't...I don't have a choice...Urghhhh! God! Fine, I'll do it! For justice! Seriously, you guys better pull this one off!
Now everything was all set to go.
Keiko: I will and to save your body.
Ryuji: Double for me!
Morgana: If it's for your sake, Lady Ann, I won't stop scratching even if all my claws were to break!
Ryuji: We'll be countin' on you, Morgana! Don't let Yusuke notice ya, all right?
Keiko: I don't want Ann to get exposed more than Yusuke's trying to kiss me!
Yeah, for Morgana to do his part and protect Ann at all costs.
Ann: If he tries to force my clothes off...I'll tear the house down! I'm really gonna lose it if we do all this and the Palace doesn't open! Got it?!
I think they all do it loud and clear.
Keiko: You got it, Ann. (I hate to see Ann when she's on her period to be twice as scary as this one already is...!)
Ryuji: We're workin' to get dirty on that guy's crimes either way. It won't go to waste. All right, let's get down and dirty tomorrow after school!
Not a good time to joke around other than getting the whole thing over and done with.
Keiko and Ann: Ryuji!
Ryuji: What...?
Ann: Tomorrow?! Right away?
Ryuji: Earlier the better.
One little thing on Ann's mind to ask about next...
Ann: Um, b-but...will Kitagawa-Kun agree?
Keiko: Sadly, I think he will...
Ryuji: I dunno, just say something like "I really need it to be tomorrow." That should work, yeah?
Saying it in a sexy way, Ryuji, to act like Ann is just creepy.
Ann: Shut up, Ryuji...You should be defending me!
Keiko: Look, we'll be fine. All of us will. Let's just go home, sleep, get through school tomorrow, and then make our move.
It settles then...For Ryuji and Ann to text one another to hope for the best, So much to do to pull all of this off.
[Ryuji: You get in touch with Yusuke?]
[Ann: Mm-hm. He asked me to come by tomorrow.]
[Ryuji: Awww yeah, he fell for it!]
[Ann: Um, do I...really have to do this...?]
[Keiko: Just be careful, Ann. Believe me, I hate the idea as much as you do too.]
[Ann: At least you understand me, Keiko. AND I'M NOT STRIPPING FOR HIM! Ryuji!]
[Ryuji: What did I do?]
[Keiko: Easy there, you two.]
[Ryuji: Man, this is such a pain...We gotta open that door AND have Madarame see it, right?]
[Ann: Yeah. Morgana said that'll change his cognition.]
[Ryuji: I don't get it...Oh, and one more thing. Let us know if any weird shit goes down and we'll be there to back you up ASAP.]
[Ann: KK, got it.]
All set for tomorrow then.
Morgana: A Palace is a reflection of how its owner views the real world. So, if Madarame's cognition of reality changes, it's only natural that his Palace would be affected. And all jokes aside, we really will need Lady Ann to strip for Yusuke. It's the only way.
So, all will be good for them to go home and Keiko and Morgana do the same thing of doing some crossword puzzles again, setting up the DVD player with shows and movies, and reading a book to let time pass by. And then later on having Akechi over to watch some TV upstairs while hanging out again.
Morgana: (Madame Keiko needs some time with her real man before moving out tomorrow, she earns it.)
You said it, Morgana.
Akechi: A nice way for us to watch TV like this, Keiko, just you and me. It's sweet.
Keiko: It is, Akechi-Cun. With so many things to be going on and more with my friends after seeing some nice artworks.
Akechi was aware that the art exhibit of Madarame was open from this week for a bit.
Akechi: Oh, yes. A nice way to see lots of other fine art works...I see you enjoy those things a lot, Princess. It's just...
Keiko: It's just what...?
Akechi: Oh, it's nothing. A lot of rumors are going around lately. I've been picking up on the news. Something about plagiarism art works, I have to look it up from there in case it's true. A lot of police work I'm afraid. With this and the Phantom Thieves-!
This almost made Keiko choke on her water from drinking it, as Akechi helps her out.
Keiko: (What!? He knows about us?!)
Akechi: Princess! Easy there, I didn't mean to say it by surprise.
Patting Keiko on the back, she was fine...Just not from this news or Morgana to overhear.
Keiko: (Just play along, Keiko...) Oh, I see...Phantom Thieves.
Akechi: Nah, don't let the name get to you. I want to learn about them and why they're doing it. Part of my job as a detective on what they're doing is right or wrong...I have nothing against them.
Really? He doesn't? That's odd for Akechi to say for Keiko to sense a lot of good from her boyfriend.
Keiko: You don't...? (Better than having him chase after us!) So, how do you feel about these Phantom Thieves...? Sorry, I know some of the parts about them so far.
Akechi: Not at all. It is just something to look up on, my partner who's a lawyer named Sae Niijima is more to stop them after Kamoshida turned himself in from the crimes he confessed with his heart to change. I want to learn more by seeing how it's done to believe in the justice system from the bad to change.
For Sae and her last name sounded familiar to Keiko from someone else she knows of...
Keiko: (Sae Niijima...? Her last name sounds familiar...)
Akechi: Princess, don't worry about your sweet little head. I can handle this one and still see you.
He pats Keiko on the head to hug her.
Keiko: You do that, Akechi.
Akechi: I will...Now there's no need to worry, let's watch something else for a little while longer.
Watching more on TV, Keiko does have another question to ask Akechi about next. And from the item she still has to save her one special wish given by Igor, what will it be?
Keiko: (I guess it wouldn't hurt to bring this question up...) Akechi-Cun, I have another question to ask...About the plagiarism part only...How can you tell if someone's lying to you of being an artist, but he isn't to steal their works without taking an credit for it? If that someone was stuck to be like a slave to do so, what would you do?
Now that's a good one to be about Yusuke being trapped to do those awful things for Madarame with no way out of it. For Akechi to see how Keiko feels, he holds her hand to feel the same way Yusuke's feeling right now 'to leave out of the name to answer the question for his girl'. They like the two understand each other so well.
Akechi: Hmm...Plagiarism on others to be the top man than his students...? I would be against the law and trying to cheat. I would leave right away to report to the police with enough proof to stop it. I see what you're saying, Keiko, if people are like that in real life or if the rumors are more than what's been spreading so much...there could be an issue about it. I just hope it can be solved without ever happening again. Does that answer your question?
Seems like it for Akechi's words mean well to have Keiko remember it to tell that to Yusuke while there's still time left to save him.
Keiko: It does, Akechi-Cun, thanks.
Akechi: It's no trouble at all, Princess, never with you.
Seems like Akechi and Keiko still see each other to still live a good life, and Morgana sees their secrets will remain safe. Akechi doesn't want to stop the Phantom Thieves, but to learn more by the law as a detective was fine. Funny, he wants to stop on bad guys they're targeting more than them to do something right for others. The two kissed a little to watch some shows before calling it a night.
Keiko: You're so sweet, Akechi-Cun. (Looks like Akechi does understand what I do...some of it to leave the rest to be. But I'm glad he'll not go after us, not from the man I love. We still have time to save Yusuke tomorrow and stop Madarame quickly.)
Strong words to help out one another, stopping a fake, and still know who the real bad guy is...No worries Akechi's a good guy in my version with some parts to be changed around it, another villain that I've made up...More on that later to be way even than my version of Akechi to not be happening here. Even more next time, as something weird was surrounding one spot in the area with Shadows all over, and one girl to be standing around in some type of school uniform for this one to be walking around the city. Huh?
