Persona 5 Royal: tmdrago Special Edition
By Tayla Drago
Episode #38 - Sadayo Kawakami
Year – 20xx
Day #47 – May 5/26th – Thursday
Another fine day to get through school for Keiko kept the penguin plushie safe back at the Cafe Leblanc in her room as she goes to school and Morgana tags along in her school bag. Reading her books on the train ride there and answering Kawa's answer to study the mind yet again for Keiko to do well; and to go through the day until lunch time for Keiko to see Ryuji to be passing by who wanted to see her.
Morgana: It's Ryuji.
Keiko: Hi, Ryuji. How's it going?
He's always happy to see Keiko any day to play it cool to try winning her over...Still?
Ryuji: Hey, there you are, Keiko! I need your help with something...
Keiko: Help? What's something you wish for me to help you out with, your homework again? Studying?
With him looking around the area to be no one else but the three, Ryuji tells Keiko about it by showing her and Morgana on what this something was to help out on.
Ryuji: Not those things today...I found this flyer stuffed in my mailbox.
Showing Keiko, it shows and tells about a house keeping service in Japan. To not just hire a maid, but a sexy girl one to wear something cute for a guy kind of thing.
Keiko: What...What is this...?
Ryuji: "Housekeeping service"! It says a cute maid will do anything for you to be hired for any girl to take on this job.
Keiko: What about me getting a job in that place?!
Now we see where Ryuji was kind of getting at.
Ryuji: A maid, babe! Something to look really hot on you! YOU AS A MAID! Who'll do ANYTHING for any guy! Even me if you were one of them! Right? ...Right?!
For Keiko to see the flyer of a cute cat-like maid girl to be doing anything for the boys like Akechi to role play with him. With Keiko daydreaming about this to one good thing...
Akechi: Oh, Princess...
Keiko: Akechi-Cun, your sexy maid is here to serve you as my master...
But Ryuji, Yusuke, and Yuuki come up closer to her in a maid outfit to make out in a big pile with her only to be freaking out about it. Soon it turns into a bit of a nightmare of other boys falling for this one girl.
Ryuji: I'm all yours, babe.
Yusuke: Please let me paint you nude, Ms. Keiko.
Yuuki: Call me cute names, Amamiya!
That's not good to be thinking about, huh? Ouch.
Keiko: AAAAAH! Ryuji! Stop! I can't be seen in public dressed like that! And I already have a boyfriend!
Ryuji: Hey, you're a cute girl to be good at this type of part job to do anything for me. Work for me as your master to give you sexy tips besides money...Let's give it a try! Yeah? Yeah!
He was perverted day-dreaming of Keiko again. But Morgana scratches Ryuji all over his face to make him stop forcing Keiko to do something she didn't want to do.
Morgana: I will rip your eyes out if you don't leave Madame Keiko alone!
He still won't give up on Keiko to make her do it somehow.
Ryuji: Shut it, cat! Look...I thought an empty room at my apartment since my old neighbor moved out would be good to get me one. Maybe to get you jealous...The key to it is left in the mailbox to use it, and my landlord won't care! Come on, Keiko, it'll be fun to do it and get another girl for Yusuke to have.
Just then, the three hear someone calling out to them being...
Yuuki: ...Hey, I heard that!
Oh, boy...Now Ryuji is done. Because he told Keiko to be a maid for him, Yuuki overhears it all to say something about it since he was also in love with her too. This is really happening, huh?
Keiko: Yuuki?
Ryuji: ...What the hell?
Yuuki: How dare you have Amamiya become a maid! How perverted are you, Sakamoto! (I only wish to have her as my own personal maid instead.)
Now Yuuki was doing the same thing. This wasn't getting anyone nowhere...
Ryuji: I thought it would help out.
Yuuki: I bet you can't have fun with one other girl who's not Amamiya!
Ryuji: That sounds like a bet!
Keiko had to say something to stop this fight right away.
Keiko: Please, boys! Stop fighting! I just am not into doing those things...
Ryuji: If that's the case, I can get a maid in an empty complex to do fun stuff for me in one day.
That does sound like a bet for Ryuji to prove Yuuki wrong for Keiko and Morgana to get dragged into this mess, only for Yuuki to say something about it in order to do the bet with Keiko not to dress up as a maid.
Yuuki: If that's the case, um...Can I, uh...Get in on this too?
Oh, now he wants to have a maid who's not Keiko?
Keiko: Huh...?! (Am I missing something here?)
Ryuji: Oh-ho! You mean you're into this kinda stuff, Mishima? Wow! Okay...
Now Ryuji has to rub it in Yuuki's face since he wants to try it out and has nothing to do with Keiko...Well, he wanted to do another thing to not do something sexy from one of their maids.
Yuuki: No! I-I'm not into it! It's just for research! Amamiya, please forgive me...!
Morgana: Ah, Madame Keiko, I don't know what's happening anymore. But you're not going to be a maid to say the least.
No kidding...For these two boys to prove who can do something with a maid to try it out to prove to Keiko how much they love her a lot. I would hate to see Yusuke be on this too, so let's not tell him.
Yuuki: What does it mean that they'll do "anything"? And do the maids look exactly as they're advertised? I'm just saying this, Sakamoto. We need to determine whether or not this company just pretends to offer housekeeping services!
The two guys turn to Keiko to see what she has to say about it on girl's styles since she was a girl.
Keiko: What...? Ryuji? Yuuki?
And they asked her...
Ryuji and Yuuki: What do you think...?
She didn't think about it but to leave it be.
Keiko: How am I supposed to know?! You two go see it and keep me out of this! (Having me as a maid to serve other guys, no thank you!)
They heard the woman they're in love with loud and clear.
Yuuki: Right?! Amamiya has a very good point. If it's a scam, then we need to punish them!
Seems that Yuuki's right...To see if it's real or not, they have to see for themselves to be someone messed up that might change their heart.
Keiko: Oh, yeah...I never thought about it like that.
Ryuji: Yeah, we gotta see it with our own eyes. Every little detail... *snicker*
He was just snickering to say those things while daydreaming of Keiko as a maid to serve Ryuji...
Keiko: Stop it!
She moves away from the odd behaving Ryuji, to get back to the point at hand to look up on this to take it very seriously to not trying to hug her right now or at all.
Ryuji: Its just me, babe, no need to worry. We'll hafta do this at night, so let us know when you're ready, Keiko.
Looks like Keiko has no other choice.
Keiko: Fine...But only because I want to keep you boys in check and see this maid thing for myself too.
With that and Yuuki comes up with a code name for this type of job to do for today would be called.
Yuuki: It'll be fine, Amamiya, don't you worry. So, what's the code name for this operation...? Hmmm...Since we'll be watching them, we should be something like... "Operation Maid Watch"!
Close enough to be called to get it done.
Keiko: "Operation Maid Watch"...?
Ryuji: Nice! I like that! Let's try doing this at night time then.
Odd name to go with it and for Ryuji to like, Keiko finishes up school with the others to do it then by tonight.
Yuuki: See you two then for all of us to be ready.
Keiko: I'll see you two later. And remember, this is only for investigating...
House passed by quickly as school finally ended for today.
[Yuuki: Please arrive tonight, Amamiya. So you, me, and Sakamoto can investigate the whole maid servant thing as a group of Phantom Thieves. Don't worry. No matter what happens, I'll be there to protect you. Meet you later.]
During the rest of the day, Keiko and Morgana walk around to get their minds clear for tonight; and for Keiko to see how Ann was holding up right now. It was time for her and Morgana to go see how Ann was doing today at the Shibuya – Underground Mall for Ann texts Keiko to meet her somewhere to train 'sort of' while they can hang out at the same time at the place called Inokashira Park where they have the Natural Respite. A nice area for Keiko and Ann to have some girl time to talk and try something to train a little differently to be ready to do some more again in the Metaverse.
Ann: What do you think, Keiko? It's nice to come by just you and me, huh?
A nice park with fields, water running, a cool scene to look at, and such to be a nice park to hang out in.
Keiko: You've done well picking a good spot for you and me only, Ann, let's do what we girls can for the team. Us Phantom Thieves can do anything.
Ann: I know! And we will. Having the guys we like and still do our jobs.
Keiko: It'll be a piece of cake. (Good place, Ann, it's enough to do something for different people by helping out one another.)
Yeah, a very good one that Ann chose for Keiko; they'll do as much as they can for their training.
Ann: Man, big open places like this are great! I think my training's going to go super well today! So, remember how I said before that I want to strengthen my heart?
They have been talking about it since last night.
Keiko: I do, Ann. You got something in mind on how you wanted to train?
Ann: Well, Keiko I came up with a way to do it!
Keiko: I would love to hear what it is.
If anything for these two to hang out for these two, it'll work out better for both Keiko and Ann to get stronger little by little.
Ann: *giggle* I got this! I think having a strong heart means you don't let anything get under your skin. So basically, I want you to say stuff to me, and I'll try not to get fazed by it!
Keiko: What kind of training?
I believe Ann Takamaki can get somewhere with this whole thing. A point out stands for Ann to say what her plans are for her and Ann to do it together.
Ann: We've already started! I won't let that hesitation shake me!
She sounded serious for Keiko to believe in Ann, to also...be very confusing a little.
Keiko: If you say so. (I guess I should say something to Ann...)
Ann: C'mon, Keiko, hit me with your best shot!
Keiko: Just don't act like an airhead.
So this was one of the training things Ann was talking about, a weird thing for Keiko to take a lucky guess on what Ann was doing...Acting like an airhead. Next tone. OK? Just go with it I guess.
Ann: Yeah, yeah, yeah! Nice one! And?
There was more?
Keiko: Ah, OK...You're a...uh...hard worker? (So this is what Ann was talking about. I'll give it a shot.)
Ann: Un-huh, un-huh. What else?
Keiko: Let me see...Ah...Are we done yet?
Oops, looks like Ann smiles to win this game for today.
Ann: You're giving up? That means I win! Wait...is this how the game is supposed to go?
Keiko: Wait...You just realize it now?! Oh, Ann...
Ann: Sorry, Keiko. Oh well. On to round two! Bring it on!
From doing so many random body signs for Keiko to give it her all, in this training of Ann's for her to come up with this.
Keiko: I'll try. Ah, listen to me?
But Ann suddenly stops to find this to be...a bit dumb.
Ann: ...You know...I kinda feel like this won't make our Personas stronger.
Keiko: It's fine, Ann. Let's just find some other way to do it.
Thinking really hard to know Keiko was supporting Ann throughout the strange game of hers.
Ann: Huh, something's not right...
Soon Ann gets an email on her cell phone to check out from her modeling work.
Ann: Oh, sorry. I just got an email from my agency. The next shoot is...really far. Wait, what's it at the end?
Keiko: Your model shooting today?
Ann: Yeah, and...It's a notice saying to pay extra attention to the time and place they tell you. Apparently some models haven't been showing up at all lately. Then when asked why they didn't come, the models all say they heard there was a change in schedule. It sounds like shoots have been real hectic with all the scrambling they've had to do for substitutes.
So a lot don't show up and others try to for models? And sometimes not all are very smart.
Keiko: Has that happened to you, Ann?
Not for Ann to always make it to her days to model.
Ann: No, I haven't missed a single shoot so far. It probably really confuses the staff when they see a sub showing up too. Hopefully it doesn't happen to me...Though actually, my first modeling gig was as a sub. That was back when I was still in Finland. My parents didn't have enough models for their event.
Keiko: You did one in Finland too? You must've been to a lot of countries.
Seems like it, for Ann didn't tell Keiko about the rest of her model shooting places she has gone to.
Ann: Oh, haven't I told you, Keiko? My parents are both fashion designers who put on some seriously extravagant shows.
Also those things for Ann's parents do that for their lifetime.
Keiko: That's really cool. It must be a lot of work.
Ann: Yeah, but you get used to it growing up. They jump from country to country, so I only really see them for half of the year...Maybe less these days.
A lot to happen for Ann barely sees her mother and father. Keiko wishes to have good parents like her to spend a lot with, but she has other things on her mind much differently.
Keiko: (Parents, huh?) But, Ann. Are you fine being alone? At times, sure. Freedom is fine to relax with them leaving for a while.
Ann: Yeah, I guess I can afford to be pretty relaxed these days. Plus it would probably be tough being a phantom thief with my parents around, don't you think?
Oh...Good point there, for their safety too.
Keiko: I guess it is better to be safe than sorry.
Ann: I know, right? It was rough when I was little though...It was just me and our live-in caretaker. I didn't really have any friends...Wow, that got dark fast...! Ahaha...Honestly, when I'm modeling...it almost feels like I'm connecting with my parents somehow. It's a nice hobby to have...but I don't think I'd want to make a living out of it. After all, that's where Kamoshida first spotted me...and that's how our class started those rumors...Besides, the Phantom Thieves are more important to me right now. Nobody can be my substitute there...That's why I need to get stronger!
True, all of this for Ann wants to do it. For Keiko to learn a lot more about her friend to help her out, Ann has cool fire power skills.
Keiko: Then let's do our best together. (I sense a lot of things within Ann's heart. She changed so much, so much to be the best in the Phantom Thieves group.)
So much so that girls can fight back with everything they got, Ann's Arcana and Confidant goes up to level 3 with Keiko growing more and more. And both Keiko and Ann will find something else to train a whole lot more again later.
Ann: Thanks for hearing me out, Keiko, you're a very good friend.
Keiko: Same here, Ann, you are too.
Ann: When I was little, I used to watch this anime where the main villain was this female thief. She'd lose to the hero every time, but always thought she was cool. She wasn't really a "good" person per se...But she was beautiful, strong, sincere, and even sexy. She always said whatever she wanted, did whatever she wanted...She knew what justice was for her. I...wanted to grow up to be just like her someday.
A lot of cartoons and Anime references there, huh?
Keiko: Really...? Either you're talking about Catwoman from the Batman comic books or Fujiko Mine from the Lupin the 3rd Anime series.
Either way, it was worth hearing what Ann was talking about.
Ann: Maybe I am talking about one of the two. I hope I'm getting closer now, if only just a little bit.
A lot to be covered for today to call it a day, another time for them to train together again.
Keiko: I think you are, Ann. We'll do more again later. Let's go home. Bye.
Ann: Well, see you later, Keiko.
Keiko gets a call from Ann to see how her friend was doing on her way back to Leblanc...
Morgana: Oh, Lady Ann...
With Morgana still in love with Ann to not get him at all.
Keiko: Hello! Did you forget something, Ann?
[Ann: Heeey Keiko, it's me. And it's nothing, I just wanted to thank you for coming with me today! Also after we met up, I tried doing some runaway walks on the way home. Like how a cool, sexy woman would talk. Besides you too. Then some girl who was watching me nearby started to copy me and runway-walked with me! She had to have seen me, right? Do you think she thought I was cool...?]
Keiko: Could be. If you want to put it that way I guess.
[Ann: *giggle* It's almost enough to make me blush, kind of. To be honest, I feel kinda bad for her. She has no idea that the real me is a human disaster.]
Keiko: Maybe so.
[Ann: Mmm...I guess I still have a long way to go. But I'm not giving up. I made a decision that I'm going to get stronger, so I need to overcome any obstacles! Thanks for hearing me out! Okay, bye Keiko!]
Morgana: Nice work today, Madame Keiko. And it's always good to see Lady Ann smile.
Keiko: As the old saying goes… "A friend in need is granteed".
Walking around to aid Sojiro for a bit at Leblanc for Keiko and Morgana to go out again – Soon to be going out again for Morgana and Keiko, with Yuuki passing by 'to also be getting his text message' to wait for Keiko to do the operation thing in a bit.
Morgana: Good luck, Madame Keiko.
It was time...
Yuuki: Are you ready, Amamiya?
Keiko: I am, Yuuki. Let's get to this place where Ryuji will meet us. (Here goes nothing...I think.)
Off the complex close to where Ryuji lives, Keiko, and Yuuki set up the place for the maid to show herself real soon.
Yuuki: S-So we're really gonna do this, huh...? You think it'll be OK?
Ryuji shows the flyer of the maid thing to Keiko and Yuuki to keep on bragging.
Ryuji: Operation Maid Watch, bro! All to prove if it's real in the name of love. (Hot sexy Keiko!)
Yuuki: Y-Yeah! Operation Maid Watch! All for love. (My beloved Amamiya...)
Those two were thinking about Keiko right now as a maid, for each of them think about two different dreams of her as a maid to look sweet and hot to them.
Keiko: If you two don't stop daydreaming about me right now...!
Ryuji and Yuuki: We'll stop! Sorry!
They do it now just to make Keiko feel shy a lot.
Ryuji: We got this one covered just in case. If it turns out to be sketchy, we can just bail. The apartment's vacant, so it's not like we'll be messing with anyone's home.
Yuuki: So if it's real, then...
Ryuji: The maid is ours.
For the two boys, yes for Keiko to witness it only in person.
Keiko: Then it's time to make the call next.
She takes care of it for Ryuji and Yuuki to do the rest on the phone, while a manager male picks it up. It's called Victoria's Housekeeping.
[Man's Voice: Thank you for calling! This is Victoria's Housekeeping!]
It is really important to answer the call, service type, what they should do, and such for the two boys to really be doing this – to then tell the name of the location for everything to be in place within twenty minutes as it passes by quickly.
Ryuji: Shit...it worked!
Yuuki: A maid's "servant"...What should we have her do for us?
Keiko: Just as long as you two don't do anything bad.
Luckily they can't, against the rules to not have sex with them but to those who are couple or married.
[Victoria Employee: Is there anyone in particular you'd like to request?]
Yuuki: We won't. Not to you either, Amamiya. Which reminds me, are high school boys do these things?
Ryuji: Ah, I don't know...
Oh, great! This was news for learning more on how to have a house maid who didn't plan the whole way through.
[Victoria Employee: Very well! Let's see here…We have a maid available in…20 minutes. May I ask for your address?]
Yuuki: You should've looked it up, Sakamoto!
Ryuji: I didn't think it through!
This is getting silly...Soon, the doorbell of the apartment room number rings for the three to hear the maid has finally arrived.
Maid: Good evening...I'm from the housekeeping service.
A few minutes early as she arrived.
Keiko: That was fast...
Yuuki: She's here five minutes early!
Ryuji: OK, Mishima, we can do this...Let's do our best. Ah...Keiko, just stand here to support us.
Yuuki: We'll be thinking about you.
She helps out the boys to let the maid inside to see what she looks like for the two boys to try to get through this, here goes...
Keiko: (This isn't happening...) Come in.
The maid enters the room so both Ryuji and Yuuki look good for this maid.
Maid: Excuse me...Are you here with guests? Welcome home, Master. I'm going to fill your tired heart full of lovely energy. Meeeeoooowwww! I'm Becky, and I have the pleasure of serving you today.
She sounded sweet for Ryuji and Yuuki to be ready to make a scene.
Ryuji: Hello, kitty cat. Don't ditch out on this, Mishima...!
Yuuki: Please meet you. I won't, Sakamoto!
Appearing in the room to hear a familiar voice to the three to recognize their names.
Becky: Sakamoto-san...? Mishima...?
Looking at them, Keiko sees this "Becky" person's face and it sounded familiar to her.
Keiko: Ah...! (Wait, she sounds and looks like...) Ms. Kawakami?!
Now the mood's been turned down to be Kawa herself as the maid services, so Ryuji and Yuuki both freaked out to make a run for it out of the room screaming in panic to not be able to do it. Nervous much? Leaving Keiko behind, she has to deal with her school teacher who works as a servant job for boys.
Kawa: Huh? How did you know...? Wait, two people left to sound like the boys at Shujin Academy and Keiko? Keiko Amamiya?
Keiko: I can explain. My two friends who are guys who've planned all of this and bailed out because they were nervous... (Less saying about having a crush on me aside.) Look, I didn't want to do this or be a maid. Believe me!
Well, she wasn't mad to her surprise to see one of her students from school would find out, only to be a girl that was Keiko. I doubt both Yuuki and/or Ryuji didn't see or look at who the name of their homeroom teacher was, so that was good.
Kawa: It is you and the other boys...Well, they didn't see me to run away and leave you behind, Keiko...Still, I'm so done...I can't believe I got caught by some of my own students...I should've taken a job outside of the city. But I needed it to be close to school so I could go there after I finished working...Tell me, Keiko, who did you hear this from?
Keiko: No one! There's an ad that you do to see if it's real and it is! Please, Ms. Kawakami. Let me explain-!
For Keiko to sense something for both Ryuji and Morgana to do too, another Shadow to go after Kawa as its next target to be inside of the apartment.
Morgana: (Great! A Shadow's after a maid servant! We have to stop it!)
Ryuji had to run back upstairs and for Yuuki to know what was going on to let him and Keiko do the rest of the work.
Yuuki: Wait, Sakamoto-!
Ryuji: Mishima, stay put. Keiko and I have to handle this one from the Shadow to be dealt with, and we don't want you to get hurt. (I'm comin', babe!)
He runs back upstairs really fast leaving Yuuki to get the whole thing to stay put since he doesn't have any powers like the Phantom Thieves do.
Yuuki: (Please be careful...)
For Kawa to feel weak for the Shadow to take over, of lust and beauty to get a lot of attention from other human males in the Metaverse of hers to take affect all over one apartment room, to also be trapping her from within and out of the real world.
Tayla: Persona #43 - Leanan Sidhe
In Celtic folklore, the Irish leanan sídhe is a beautiful woman of the Aos Sí (or fairy folk) who takes a human lover. Lovers of the leanan sídhe are said to live brief, though highly inspired, lives. The leanan sídhe is generally depicted as a beautiful muse, who offers inspiration to an artist in exchange for fame and glory; however, this exchange frequently results in madness for the artist, and often premature death. They seek the love of mortals. If the object of their affection refuses, she must be their slave; if they consent, they are hers and can only escape by finding another to take their place. The fairy lives on with their life, leaving the object of a leanan sidhe's affection to waste away. The name comes from the Gaelic word "leannan," a sweetheart, concubine or favorite. Also, Sídhe, "of the fairy mounds."
Leanan: Oh, yeah! Here we go, boys and girls! It's a loving time, all over the world! Love me please or I'll make you.
She wants a lot of attention to mess with Kawa's distorted desires of her heart to be saved next for Ryuji and Morgana to catch up in the room to enter in the Metaverse – allowing them and Keiko to transform into the three Phantom Thieves.
Keiko: Okay, boys! Let's go save Ms. Kawakami's heart to stop this female Shadow's lust of madness. Suit up! Code name – Joker!
Ryuji: I still can't believe it's our school teacher...but I'll stay out of this one. Suit up! Code name – Skull!
Morgana: Less complaining, more fighting! Suit up! Code name – Mona!
It was fighting time to stop this Shadow from messing with Kawa's heart to be saved for the three Phantom Thieves to stop this one to use love on other men, lots of attention to give a lot of love to her.
Keiko: Stop this, woman Shadow! It doesn't matter whether this teacher is doing this maid service job to have her reasons to serve other men who hire you. Not to show too much love to call them her own slaves, she does work to call the good ones her masters.
A slingshot warning to make this Shadow stop.
Morgana: You should probably stop if I were you...
Well, for Leanne to be the queen in her world to have lots of males fall head over heels with this female Shadow to show lots of love to stop the three Phantom Thieves from getting in her way.
Leanan: I don't know why you three intrude, but beware because I can get really rude...Love me!
Using some hearts to blow kisses to try hitting Ryuji and Morgana, because the other men get hit in a spell to love Leanan only, but not to the two male Phantom Thieves.
Ryuji: Ha! It doesn't work on us, you stupid bitch!
Leanan: But how can this be? It should've worked under my spell you see!
Morgana: Because both Skull and I are in love with two other girls we care about. And if we love someone else, your spell won't work on us boys. And there will be no point working on a girl either.
He was right, it won't work for those two. And to think of Leanne losing this fight, she wasn't done with them yet. She had a lot more in mind...Using the men who had lots of hearts to be shown – to suck their energies of hearts to turn into her own type of power to use against them, with this Shadow places some heart shapes on the ground to morph into something.
Leanan: If that's the case, then here comes so more. I got a type of sex whip to punish you all, from my love to be adored.
Those hearts turn into a long vine type of whips to start whipping at the three to avoid getting hurt but the other males in the Metaverse to enjoy it.
Keiko: Watch out!
Too strong to destroy anything in her way under Leanan's control to get them from far away.
Leanan: Like it or not, people will love me and it'll never stop.
So much to be going fast of whipping all over the place for Ryuji and Keiko tries to cut to hitting them away, not even Morgana's slingshot wouldn't work either.
Ryuji: Shit...! This sucks if we can't touch this Shadow who keeps on whippin' all over the place! Captain Kid, lend me a hand! Raging Storm Clash!
Well, that didn't work to have Leanan in a type of collar around Ryuji's neck.
Morgana: She's got Skull! Oh, no!
Now she does the same thing with Morgana to trap him as well as leaving Keiko on her own to fight.
Keiko: Mona! Skull! Hey, Shadow! Let them go!
Leanan shocks them both from the collar to have more hearts to morph into vine-like whips to hit Keiko to have trouble cutting the collars down or burn them, it was too powerful to stop.
Leanan: Where's the fun in that to let these two go, I want to destroy them while giving off a good show. All in the name of love!
This was bad for Ryuji and Morgana were both in danger because Keiko had to think of something to stop this Shadow to save her teammates.
Keiko: (How can I save them and stop this Shadow while avoiding her whips?)
That's when another surprise from Arsene appeared to aid Keiko to see how hard this fight is turning out.
Arsene: Keiko, say no more...I'm here for you.
Keiko: Arsene?
Placing his hand in a hole to fire up something to start it up underground.
Arsene: Why not avoid it, when you can burn it all up?
And boom! This gets Leanan to lose her guard to hate, to get burned from the vines to die out, and it also allows Keiko to use her daggers to free the other two.
Keiko: Well that worked...Thanks, Arsene, now it's my turn. Daggers of Darkness!
Ryuji: We're free!
Freeing Morgana and Ryuji from the collars to make their escape and stopping the other slaves, and from Leanan to try shooting at her.
Keiko: Skull! Mona! Surround this Shadow!
The three Phantom Thieves do just that.
Leanan: How can this be? Have I lost? I cannot lose, for love for me to be the boss.
This allows Morgana to have Zorro to cut down from his wind attacks, and then the little guy to finish the Shadow off.
Morgana: You don't even know anything about love, lady! Furious Fangs!
From wind and cutting attacks on Leanan, she was down for the count, for her remaining dreamy males all ran away to lose all of her love. Because without any more to have and to use on, she was nothing but a weakling. Allowing Keiko, Ryuji, and Morgana to point their weapons out at Leanan for her to not be going anywhere.
Ryuji: No guy will ever love you on what you do to force them to, that's just wrong.
Leanan: Ah! I'm done! I have no one to love or to hold. I can't help myself; it's out of my control! Please don't hate me...
There was a lot to learn about love for this Shadow as Keiko tells her like it is.
Keiko: If you can't help yourself to find real love, then let us help you. This is no way to get someone to be loved by force.
Leanan: Really? Is that so? I still have a chance to take full control?
Just enough for Keiko to explain to Leanan all about what love really is.
Keiko: It's simple really...Love encompasses a range of strong and positive emotional and mental states, from the most sublime virtue or good habit, the deepest interpersonal affection and to the simplest pleasure. An example of this range of meanings is that the love of a mother differs from the love of a spouse, which differs from the love of food. Most commonly, love refers to a feeling of strong attraction and emotional attachment. Love is also considered to be a virtue representing human kindness, compassion, and affection, as "the unselfish, loyal and benevolent concern for the good of another". It may also describe compassionate and affectionate actions towards other humans, one's self or animals. Love in its various forms acts as a major facilitator of interpersonal relationships and, owing to its central psychological importance, is one of the most common themes in the creative arts. Love has been postulated to be a function to keep human beings together against menaces and to facilitate the continuation of the species.
From the strong words that Keiko just said to enjoy the speech for Morgana, and Ryuji to be blushing at Keiko a lot more to be hotter.
Morgana: It's true.
Ryuji: Such hot words from you, Joker...
This makes Leanan cry with tears of joy to see more about love from others to see for herself.
Leanan: So true, I see that now. I can learn a lot from you guys somehow. Please let me help out.
Learning a lesson to save Kawa's heart just in time, Keiko uses her skills to free this Shadow to turn into a Persona to use Leanan on something good.
Keiko: You may help us out...Leanan Sidhe - Jealous Lover, I've commit thee to join!
From the mask to get rid of the evil, Leanan was then set free as a good Persona.
Leanan: Never force to love, not anymore. For I've changed, forever more...I am thou, thou art I. My name is Leanan, let me lovely whips and shield aid you in battle. Use them well, use them very well. Show the other bad ones on what love means, or else give them some hell.
Well, that's that...And a lesson to be learned too for this Persona for the real world was to leave the Metaverse for Kawa to be saved as Yuuki waited for them from outside of the apartment.
Morgana: And...It's done! In any case, Joker...
Keiko: Skull, tell Yuuki about it. While I help out Ms. Kawakami.
Sounds like a plan to get back to the Real World to tell Yuuki and Kawa first.
Ryuji: Right, you did well today, babe. See ya and sorry about this.
Keiko: It's fine.
At least Keiko didn't dress up as a maid to Ryuji or Yuuki at all, and then Kawa finally wakes up so Keiko will take care of the rest.
Keiko: She's waking up. Ryuji. Morgana. Go outside, let me deal with this nice lady who's a friend of a teacher to me. Please.
Giving out a sign for Morgana to understand to leave from the window, Ryuji slowly gets it on who it was to keep to himself.
Ryuji: Oh...Oh...! A friend to a teacher from our school. Gotcha, Keiko, we'll meet you back outside.
He leaves afterwards for Ryuji, telling Yuuki that everything worked out. As Keiko helps Kawa to not remember what happened to her, she tries to have an image to be a dream only.
Kawa: Huh...? What happened? Oh, you know that I'm your teacher, Keiko, and a maid service to do work for other men...But I've been found out.
Keiko: (Good, she thinks she passed out from being discovered.) You did pass out to be too shocked about it all, but you're okay thanks to me helping you out. And don't worry about the boys, they didn't see who you were, Becky.
Keiko will call Kawa by "Becky" when others are around to keep her real identity a secret.
Kawa: Really...? Besides the weird dream I had, you're not going to tell anyone else about this?
Keiko: I won't tell, that's up to you, Ms. Kawakami.
She is a woman in Keiko's own words to keep secrets from others to learn about something personal.
Kawa: ...Are you saying that to make you get kicked out of my class?
Keiko: I'm on your side.
Kawa: I do believe in you...If what you're saying is true, Keiko, and your friends didn't see me to try and fail, you have to keep this about me as a maid servant a secret from others. No friends of yours, students, or other teachers don't have to know about this. Do this for me, then I'll do something for you...
She will? Like what...?
Keiko: But I'm a girl who doesn't want to be like you are, no offense, I feel like I can organize something for you in this job.
The teacher/maid knew what she meant to say to Keiko, not the other way around.
Kawa: I knew that! But yes, that could work out to help out each other...We'll talk more later, so no payment today to not let others know about it but us girls. So goodbye, Keiko.
Keiko: Okay bye, Becky.
Kawa: Now that's much better.
From this type of mess, Kawa leaves to pretend this never happened and Keiko takes off with Morgana back home and so do Ryuji and Yuuki in their own path.
Yuuki: Sorry about this, Amamiya.
But she understands to smile for Yuuki and leaves.
Keiko: It's fine, Yuuki, I'll see you tomorrow. And did Ryuji tell you...?
Yuuki: He did. Good work today, you guys are the best.
Keiko: (I'm so tired to think about this, I hope Ms. Kawakami will be fine. I just want to go home to not have Ryuji do this ever again. I don't blame Yuuki for learning if the place was real right now, he's understandable.)
Well, so much for Ryuji's idea of fun and Keiko not being a maid to dress up for either him or Yuuki. Thank god! Again, I'm glad Yusuke was in on this one or else things might've gotten worse from it at all.
Yusuke: Hmm? Did I miss something?
It's best if he didn't know at all. As for Kawa, we'll get back to her for this teacher/maid to aid Keiko later on. From what happen between the Metaverse area parts and the real world – both Caith Sith and Orobas saw the whole thing. Yeah, I want them to be odd sort of villains for laughs as they're good at sneaking around of spy-like.
Sith: Yes…I felt that. And hey, I got some human energy from this…slave woman in clothing. Check it out, Orobas. We're one step towards our goal, and one giant leap for our dream to come true…Aaaah!
Tripping down the stairs of the apartment to land on his other body and tail to crash his fall and Orobas to help him out, they take off for now since they've gather some energy from Kawa because of her once out of control Shadow. Oh yeah, I forgot it only happens to weaker humans without having powers like the other 5 Phantom Thieves do.
Orobas: Nothing personal, Cait, but I think you need to no take any big steps on our down fall, or yours.
Now hearing his sidekick saying that to get Sith owned and Orobas being right, they take off next the next on whatever it is will happen again. I guess with these two around at some point….
Year – 20xx
Day #48 – May 5/27th – Friday
On Keiko's way to school with Morgana tagging along 'as he always does with her', Yusuke was happy to see her all the time painting her a lot.
Yusuke: Good morning, Ms. Keiko.
Keiko: Good morning, Yusuke.
Better to keep his distance away from Keiko if Yusuke knows what's good for him with Morgana around.
Morgana: Watch it-!
But Yusuke offers Morgana some suichi.
Yusuke: Calm down, Morgana, I'm a gentleman towards the woman I truly care for.
Someone was sure to love his food.
Morgana: Mm...Mmm! So good fish! *munch* *munch*
Keiko: He sure loves fish.
With Morgana eating, Yusuke makes his move on Keiko again 'or tries to'.
Yusuke: With Morgana enjoying his fine looking meals, we finally have some alone time together before we head our separate ways.
Keiko: Ah... (Not again.) If you're making me model nude for you, then forget it.
Yusuke: I would paint something more lovely than you to bare it all in front of the world. Never to you...
Trying to kiss Keiko, she moves aside to be fast from it from a little shove.
Keiko: Yusuke, come on.
Yusuke: What? Oh, right. I need to report to you… Madarame's ill, but the exhibit is still going strong. I can't respect him as my sensei anymore...but it's sad to think I don't have a mentor anymore.
Keiko: I'm all ears if you need me, as a friend of course.
From chatting of love to reporting back on something, Yusuke and Keiko will always be a really best of friends.
Yusuke: Talk...? To you? Anything for you...
Morgana: Not in a romantic way please...
Fair point for him a little.
Yusuke: Sorry...Now that I think about it, I don't believe I've ever had someone I could simply talk to. This is a first for someone special along with us as the Phantom Thieves. Well, perhaps I may need a sounding board sometime. I hope you'll humor me then.
Keiko: There you go. Anyways, I got to go to school no, bye. Come on, Morgana.
Finish up eating just in time.
Morgana: No running while I'm eating!
To almost drop his food, Yusuke stares from Keiko to live a normal life.
Yusuke: No matter how much you try pushing me away, Ms. Keiko, I'll never stop loving you more and more.
Oh, brother...! She's with Akechi already! But she sees Kawa talking with Ms. Chouno to have normal girl and teacher talk to one another – for she was almost on to this type of teacher.
Chouno: ...Ms. Kawakami. I already know...
This didn't look or sound good at all.
Morgana: Kawakami's been driven into a corner by Chouno! Let's talk to her so we can help her out.
For Morgana and Keiko better think of something to help out Kawa before things might get worse.
Kawa: As I've been saying...Get home safely, Amamiya-chan. Well then, I have another matter to attend to, so I have to excuse myself…
Chouno: No! We're not finished talking yet!
Kawa: But I...
Chouno: There's been a series of scandals on this campus. We're all being called into question. And yet you leave work earlier than anyone—and you barely make it to the faculty meetings! Explain yourself! Don't tell me you're out running around at night!?
Morgana: Kawakami's being grilled by Chouno. She said she'd do anything if we helped her out, so let's clear up Chouno's suspicions.
Yeah, before it's too late.
Chouno: The school's closing soon, Ms. Amamiya. Head on home before it gets late. Or did you need something from Ms. Kawakami? You sure you're not hiding anything from me, Sadayo?
Kawa: No...What makes you say that...?
But Keiko comes in to the rescue to have Ms. Chouno to like Suguru before he was in jail to do anything for him to be used.
Keiko: (This is bad...) Ah, Ms. Kawakami? I...I need help on one question I have trouble solving! Could you help me out one more time before I go home?
A nice way for Kawa to dodge a bullet.
Chouno: ...What?
Kawa: Huh...? Oh! Yes, Keiko, let's go somewhere else to do your school work. Please excuse me, Chouno.
She gets it to think that Kawa has found a proud student to be changed.
Chouno: I see...This girl has changed a lot for one crime she did, if any case...I'll leave you two be.
With enough for Keiko to save Kawa's life to talk somewhere else private about last night...
Keiko: Sorry, I didn't want anyone else to know what you do after school, Ms. Kawakami. I had to say something.
Kawa: No, it's fine. Ms. Chouno didn't notice. Thank you again, Keiko, it just...We can't really be talking about this in school.
She was too scared for anyone else to hear.
Keiko: Is there any way you like to talk to me?
Her teacher does give Keiko
Kawa: Here. This is my address and phone number for my night job, take it. Call me at night time to request some help to aid someone who's a guy of course. I'll talk more about you helping out somehow without the whole dress up maid thing to be seen in public. Because "Becky" will talk about what you can do as a part time job. Just be careful this doesn't show on the call history thing, please?
This had Keiko get her text message and phone number to hide from her cell phone of Kawa's to be all good to go.
Keiko: I understand, Ms. Kawakami's, I won't say anything. (And a part of my job remains to her and me...?)
Morgana: Just call her up when you're free at night time, Madame Keiko.
Better than being forced to do anything illegal.
Keiko: I guess we'll talk about that part later...?
Kawa: Yes, I guess we will. I got to go do other stuff before doing my other part time job. So...Get home carefully, Keiko. Bye. And thanks again.
Off goes Kawa to do more teacher stuff before doing the maid thing for way later as Keiko sees her off to do other school stuff for Morgana tags along before heading back to Leblanc.
Morgana: The whole maid thing will help you get some money to buy more items, weapons, equipment, books, and other stuff for us to use in battle on our next target. Madame Keiko, you don't have to tell the others about it but your boyfriend if you want.
There's a lot to think about before talking again with Keiko in a bit more when they're together to come up with something.
Keiko: As long as it doesn't allow me to sleep with other men or for her to be doing it too, I think we'll both work something out together.
More stuff to do for Keiko on the rest of the days to be happy to see Kawa has her real reasons to be working as a maid and still be a teacher at the same time 'to get to that part later on'. For the rest of the day after school…both Keiko and Morgana try out this restaurant around Shibuya for some meals to have before heading back to Leblanc later on; what a good way to eat something and drink while carefully studying to pass the time and do even better on the next exam at school.
Morgana: Now this place is amazing. Good food, drinks, friendly area, and another area to study.
Keiko: Or finish the homework too, Morgana, don't forget.
Morgana: Yep. I think for us aiding Becky. *wink* Will be just fine as Phantom Thieves with other things we can use for other things later on. Trust me, Madame Keiko.
Keiko: I will, don't you worry about it.
More to show and tell for the next Social Status and/or Social Links/Confidants might be done during the evens and night time real soon. You'll see in the next chapter/episode when we get there.
