Persona 5 Royal: tmdrago Special Edition
By Tayla Drago
Episode #26 - Morgana's a Lively Car
How cool is it to drive a Morgana who can turn into a van type of car from the Metaverse world and Mementos? Cool, right...? Keiko seems to be doing well to drive him good to break down gates and run over some Shadows for them, Ryuji, and Ann to find their target to be hiding somewhere in the deep undergrounds to have them all over the place. Someone by the name of Natsuhiko Nakanohara who's been stalking a girl to be in trouble with a distorted heart type of victim. The first room they were in was the Path of Qimranut. Also, I'll be posting some parts of the targets' names and things they're doing.
[Tayla: Operation Quest - Beware the Clingy Ex-boyfriend = Target (Natsuhiko Nakanohara)]
Morgana: A nice ride, huh? Keep your eyes open on this Nakanohara person who we need to stop. It's our job as Phantom Thieves after all. Look through my windows to look around the place.
They start searching all over from outside of the van...
Keiko: You guys do that for me, I can't do two things at once while I'm driving.
Morgana: Smart thinking there, Joker. Skull. Panther. You two be the lookout.
They find some treasures to gather and some Shadows to push out of their way.
Ann: We're looking...
Ryuji: Who cares. I'm likin' how these Shadows are gettin' run over. Go, Joker!
A nice way for him to cheer Keiko on, for Ann to tell Ryuji that this is serious business to be doing 'besides fighting some of them to grow stronger'.
Ann: Skull! This isn't a game like from Grand Theft Auto!
Ryuji: What? It's better than bein' killed by them!
Keiko: If it's a game, maybe. But this is for real.
Driving a bit more to train, getting some items, treasure chests to open up, or to unlock, and driving; to then coming across a strange portal to drive into to feel something out – a Shadow target they were looking for.
Morgana: Joker...
Keiko: I feel it too...Our target's through this portal to go to the next room.
Ryuji and Ann: He is?
It would seem like it, so inside they go.
Morgana: It's fine. Drive on through because we're going to do our job.
Into the hole they drive through it. And who met with the four to get out of the Morgana 'to turn back to normal', was Nakanohara's Shadow...I'll call him Nakano for short. With Keiko/Joker, Morgana/Mona, Ryuji/Skull, and Ann/Panther all get out of the Morgana van to see the man looking all messed up 'far more than being a peeping tom type of person'.
Ryuji: Hey, something's there!
Keiko: Yes...That's him!
It must be Nakano's Shadow right in front of them.
Morgana: That seems to be Nakanohara's Shadow.
Ryuji: Lemme see. Some front desk guy at City Hall became a stalker, right?
Ann: I don't know how much evil he's done, but we have to do something if he's bothering other people.
Morgana: All right, we'll go talk to him. Joker, be ready to get the Shadow of evil out of him.
She is more than ready once they fight it.
Keiko: Ready for anything.
The four slowly approach Nakano Shadow to try talking to him, or tries to...
Nakano Shadow: Who are you?!
Ann: Are you that stalker?! Haven't you ever stopped to consider how your ex feels?
Like this one will listen to reason.
Nakano Shadow: She's mine property! I can do whatever I want with her! It's not like she didn't treat me like a plaything! What's wrong with me doing the same?!
Keiko: (He's hard to reach out to for this man.) But if you don't listen to reason, others will not like you at all.
Ryuji: She's right! And you can't treat someone like shit just 'cause they did it to you! What a load of crap...We're gonna change the hearts of all the bastards like you!
And they do as will for the others because they're the Phantom Thieves. During the harsh words that Nakano Shadow was saying to them, he said the name of an important person to come around real soon...To be the next character.
Nakano Shadow: There are millions of people far worse than me! What about Madarame...? He stole everything from me, but you're letting him off the hook?!
Here's the thing, none of them ever heard of the name before until just now.
Keiko: You're mistaken. We never heard of this person before until you told us.
Ryuji: ...Madarame? The hell's this guy goin' on about?
Hard to say, even more for Nakano Shadow to transform into the Shadow's true self to be ready to fight as he lets out his sadness and anger at them with spike attacks all over his body to be tough hair for it was hard to fire a gun or use combat moves against this one.
Tayla: Persona #24 – Obariyon
The Obariyon is a Japanese "piggyback demon" from local folklore. While a person is walking along a woodland or grassy path, the Obariyon may jump out and attach itself to their back. While it cannot be seen, its weight can be felt by the person, and it becomes harder to walk. The Obariyon cannot be easily removed without the use of magic, but it is said if you can remove it and take it home, it will turn into many valuable gold coins.
Morgana: Get ready! Here he comes!
They were ready to stop Obariyon's bad hair days.
Obariyon: Now that I finally have what's rightfully mine...I'm not going to let any of you take it away...Look...This is a winner-takes-all world. Come fight me and I'll show you all what I mean!
Wow! This Shadow was on fire today with tough hairs sticking out to stab through anything for the others to move away in time. 'In some battles can be a bit shorter like the other ones against the Shadows at times'. Keiko having one Persona skills to stop the fire and try slowing down the attack boost from going up and going back down; Morgana with his Zorro's strong winds cut from the other to grow more and more hair since one cut didn't work...Same with Ryuji's Captain Kidd who does a powerful shock Obariyon a lot to stop, allowing all of them to attack in a big group, leaving Ann to have Carmen to use her own fire against the Shadow for his flames to go out. From there this allowed Ann to finish it off for everyone to weaken it.
Ann: You're mine! Burning Claw!
And Obariyon was down for the count for Nakano Shadow was back to his original form as the four have done it, no longer crazy-like to confess his mistakes to never do it again. Almost done...
Keiko: Looks like we've won. Game over.
Nakano Shadow: I-I was wrong...Please forgive me...The evil teacher used me, then threw me out on the streets. That's what caused my fixation on her...
There he goes saying this "Madarame" guy's name again...
Keiko: (He's doing it again.) Evil teacher?
Ann: Hey, I don't think we need to keep scolding him. He already seems to regret what he did. So...is this evil teacher that Madarame person you mentioned earlier?
He explains about the strange man to the others.
Nakano Shadow: Yeah...I just didn't want anyone to throw me out again...
Ann: So some selfish bastard was making you suffer too...Still, you shouldn't have dragged an unrelated woman into your mess.
For this man's shadow to learn a lesson now 'thanks to them', he seems to learn it well.
Nakano Shadow: Yes, I know that now. I'll put an end to my love for her...Hey, you guys can change people's hearts, right?
With Nakano Shadow surrendering to ask the Phantom Thieves if they can really change people's hearts, it would seem like it would work twice so far.
Keiko: Yes we do. Why do you ask?
Nakano Shadow: In that case...Won't you Phantom Thieves change Madarame's heart?! Before more people fall victim to him...
Keiko: (He really wants our help from this man, doesn't he?) Then we'll see what we can do for you. But for now, go home and change your ways. Flaming Heart!
For Keiko/Joker's other side of the mask to change Nakano Shadow's to go from bad too good to be set free.
Nakano Shadow: I'm trusting in you, guys. If I can change for the better by tomorrow, then it's not too late to save the other artists.
And off he goes for something glowing shows up in front of them after the fight is over.
Ann: Change...Madarame's heart?
Besides learning about the man's name, they looked at the strange light.
Ryuji: Hm? What's that shinin' thing?
Morgana: It's the bud of a Treasure. Had we let it be, it very well may have blossomed into a Palace. Joker, this will make a perfect reward!
With Keiko getting a type of treasure pearl, they did a pretty good job saving another one's life from a bad distorted heart of his. For things like it would be left out, it can change into another Palace.
[Tayla: Request – Completed!]
Keiko: Got it! (Looks like we're going to do just fine.)
Ryuji: So Nakanohara had a change of heart, right?
Morgana: Most likely.
Seems like they did it, or they wanted to see more for themselves to make sure.
Ann: But how are we supposed to know if we succeeded?
Ryuji: The lady posted the dude's name online. If he really did change, she'll prolly comment again.
That does make more sense when they put it that way.
Morgana: Hm, you do have a point.
Ryuji: Either way, trainin' against Shadows down here's the best! It's great prep for our next target!
A lot of training they'll be doing, is more than anything to get something done to make them stronger.
Keiko: It sure feels like it, it's much easier.
Ann: Yes it does! It's also nice to be able to give courage to the people who post their problems online.
Morgana: On top of that, we can sell whatever treasure we get for some cold, hard cash!
Oh, yes. They can also do that as well to get more money and more items to also equip themselves with other things.
Ryuji: Dude! Sounds like things are going' pretty great for us!
Keiko: It sure has!
Ryuji: ...All right, we did it!
Well, almost. Remember – this was only the beginning.
Morgana: Hold on. There's somewhere I want to show you guys before we leave.
Ryuji: What, there's more?
Morgana: Don't worry, it won't take long. Joker, get ready to drive again.
And she has to be behind the wheel of Morgana to drive around the other parts of Mementos again, for Ann and Ryuji to join in too. So where else did they need to go next? So more driving, crashing into doors to open up, and stopping other Shadows along the way to be a nice ride; on the way they come across a train to be moving a lot like in a train station 'to make more sense'.
Keiko: Hey! Look at this!
Ryuji: A train's working in this world!
Ann: I never knew that...
Morgana: It happens down here a lot. From people's distorted desires to go bad, it always runs up stuck in this area. Like being trapped in darkness to never get out of...unless someone helps you out. Let's keep on going.
From the train to pass them by and wind blowing throughout the tunnels, the driving still continues. They started to walk down below the next floor. They have to go down to the next area, to see some odd cracked wall in their way to have a closer look at it.
Keiko: A dead end...? (No, I think it's far more from it...)
Nope, it was far from it for Keiko to feel out, for one touch from Morgana to play around with the walls made it change into another room to go down on. Wow, that fast?! Sure looks like it. The other two were shocked by Morgana and Keiko.
[Metaverse Navigator: A new area has been confirmed in the depths. Updating guidance information.]
Ann, Ryuji, and Keiko all have that down on each of their cell phones.
Morgana: See? The more we do this together, the better we'll be known to others for changing their hearts little at a time, and more floors to open up. But that should be good for us to do for today. Come on, we'll talk more outside of the train station where we left off to explain the rest in a bit.
Time to go back up to Mementos entrance next...As the four arrive back and before leaving, Keiko sees a familiar face to show himself to be near his car to see flowers in a bubble above him. For Keiko to see him already in the Thieves Den, who's to say of his other doing in Mementos.
Ann: Hey, look!
Keiko: (It can't be...!)
At first, the other three thought it was a human with them. Well, Jose was far from it.
Morgana: A person?! In Mementos?!
Keiko: No, Mona, he's fine. Jose's the one I met at the Thieves Den. I told you guys about it the other day, remember?
Seems like it, just seeing Jose in person was a bit different on what he was going to do with the flowers next.
Jose: Hmmm...Maybe it's this one...
He just turned the flowers into a drink in a glass with a flower sticking out of it. Weird. Drinking it next to taste good to this boy's liking.
Jose: Ooh! Tasty!
Walking up to Jose next, Keiko wanted to say hi and introduce the others.
Keiko: Hi, Jose.
Jose: Hello, Joker. It's good to see you again. And I see you've brought the other thieves with you this time in Mementos.
That's far from questioning what Jose was drinking on what the flowers turned into.
Ryuji: Hey, what's this Jose guy drinkin'?
Jose: Just my own drink. Oh? Hmm, I thought I also felt others with powers like Joker have to be here...You're all a lot like her. So, who are you three?
Still, to believe Keiko seeing Jose first, they still have trouble believing in Jose at first.
Morgana: WE should be asking YOU that!
Jose: Good point. Sorry about that. I already met with Joker at her den for what she has told you all about so far. She's a nice lady. Also, it's customary for a human to introduce itself before asking another human for its name. Thanks for reminding me, Misterrr...um, Taruki? No, um...Hmmm...Cat?
I don't think Morgana was a tanuki thing nor a regular cat to make him mad.
Morgana: What took so long to come up with "Cat"?! And I'm not either of those!
This has Ryuji and Keiko laughing a little.
Keiko: He's not from Super Mario Bros. 3.
Ryuji: Yeah, uh, gettin' confused about that seems pretty normal to me.
Keiko: Ah, yeah. These are my friends and teammates. Mona, Skull, and Panther.
Now Jose introduces himself to the team next since Keiko did for them.
Jose: My name is Jose. I'm looking for flowers. I'm pretty surprised to see some normal humans like Joker with special powers and to be running around. I didn't know other people like her could just come here.
Morgana: Well, we are pretty special-W-Wait, that's not important! Who YOU are is what matters right now!
They needed to know about Jose collecting flowers next.
Ann: When you said you were looking for flowers, did you mean that floating thing?
Jose: That's right, pretty lady. Those seem to be the ones I've been looking for. I'm collecting as many of 'em as I can 'cause I'm studying humans.
From there and drinking some to studying them more about humans like that? So strange and different.
Ryuji: Studying humans? That's why you turned a flower into a drink?
Keiko: (So there's more to Jose than his appearance as a child.) Is it as good as it tastes?
Jose: Yup.
Ryuji: Drinkin' flower juice counts as studying?
Maybe for Jose, but not for the others to be quite different to not do the same on regular humans even with or without special powers.
Jose: Hey, could you guys help me with my research?
Asking for their help to find more flowers?
Ann: How?
Jose: By collecting flowers for me. I wouldn't ask you to do it for free, though. I find all kinds of stuff you can use while you're exploring. I'll trade you some of that stuff for more flowers.
Sounds like a fair deal there.
Ryuji: Whaddya think, Joker? Should we try an' get him some flowers?
Seems like Keiko already trusts Jose to do so to sense some strange but good in him.
Keiko: I don't see why not.
Morgana: Seems like it could do us some good, but we don't know this kid...We gotta be careful.
He seems fine to have some powers to not be life threatening at all.
Ann: Oh, I'm sure he's fine. Let's give him a hand. He seems like he could use it for Joker to trust him just fine. And he seems like he could use it, and it shouldn't be too hard to pick flowers while we're exploring, right?
Ryuji: Okay, any OTHER reasons?
Ann: Heheh, he called me "pretty lady".
Ann was fine and so was Keiko to have Morgana get jealous for Jose to be nice to Ann a lot.
Morgana: Nooo! Lady Ann...
Ryuji: Eh, it's prolly fine. I mean, he said he'd give us useful stuff an' all. Whaddya say?
Jose: Well, are you guys going to help me find the flowers or not?
They were in to see Jose was fine.
Keiko: Guys, let's help him out.
Another new friend and another task to do in Mementos to find lots of flowers for him.
Jose: Thanks!
Morgana: Wait, wait, hang on a second! We still have no idea who this kid is! Don't go thankin' us just yet, bud!
Well, someone was really jealous for nothing.
Jose: Aw, are you tired, kitty? You seem grumpy.
Morgana: I am NOT a cat! And I'm NOT grumpy!
Jose: O-Oh, okay-then, are you hungry? I learned hunger can make a person turn grumpy. Here, you can have this.
Giving Morgana some bag of cookies for Jose was nice to him, just not like a cat telling him which he is not.
Morgana: Thanks, but I'll pass...
Ryuji: You're makin' the kid worry about ya even more. Guess there's no way outta this one.
Now he tells Morgana to fall down to his knees. Oh, brother...
Keiko: We'll do what we can later on, Jose. On another mission to do or more of them. So we'll come back to get flowers later, promise.
They shake on it for Jose to take off in his car in a moment.
Jose: Thank you again, Joker. Your friends are also good humans and this cat. I'll be looking for flowers around here, so stop and say hi if you see me again. Oh, and I guess just gathering flowers would be kind of boring, huh? Since you humans seem to enjoy playing so much, I'll come up with some fun games for you. Ah, I also remembered something humans like to say to each other - Good job!
Honking his horn from his car to take off afterwards, they'll be seeing Jose again when they return to Mementos later.
Keiko: And off he goes to help him out since he'll be helping out too.
Ryuji: Who in the hell was that? An odd friend you made at this den thing, Keiko?
Keiko: If he was an enemy, he would've killed us by now.
But Jose didn't want to be just a-okay to the others 'to get used to'.
Ann: If he's studying humans, does that mean he isn't one? I mean, he just seemed like some nice kid.
Keiko: That's what I said about him too, Panther.
Ryuji and Morgana seem to trust in Jose too.
Morgana: Well, he didn't feel like a Shadow...I wouldn't say he's dangerous...at least, for now...
Ryuji: Anyways, if we see any of those flowers he wants, I guess we can grab 'em for him.
Just as they reach the next, Jose drives back again for he almost forgets to say something to the Phantom Thieves. Again?
Jose: I totally forgot!
Keiko: What's up, Jose?
He'll tell them before he might forget again.
Jose: There's something I've been meaning to give to all of you.
Keiko: Something for us?
Jose: Yeah. The thing is...I picked up something strange while I was exploring earlier. Here it is...
Pulling out of Jose's pockets, it appears to be a gem type of blue star to show a photo shot of the town of some kind. Huh?
Ryuji: Huh? What the heck is that?
Jose: It's a star. At least, that's what they look like, so that's what I call them.
Morgana: A star?
Keiko: It's more like a star shaped gem type of magic.
Ann: Um, so what about it did you want to show us?
A lot for Jose to answer them about next.
Jose: Humans make wishes on stars, right? That's so interesting. Stars granting wishes...So this star is going to grant your wishes.
That's new! But it's much different than Keiko to have a charm to grant one special wish only.
Morgana: Our wishes?!
Keiko: Wishes?! (No, wait. It's much different than what I have.)
Jose: ...Or, it would be nice to think that.
Ah, okay then...?
Morgana: "Nice to think that"...? Seriously...
Jose: I'll give this to you. It's so sparkly and beautiful, you want it too, don't you? It's a "Sign of our friendship". I know what that is. Off I go now. Good job!
Off he goes again, for real this time.
Morgana: Hey, wait!
Giving Keiko the star, it was a nice gift to have something on their first encounter.
Ryuji: Welp, there he goes again.
Keiko: And for real this time to not forget anything else.
Seeing the star was a new item to have to be something very special.
Ryuji: A star, huh? He said it'd grant our wishes or somethin'...
Morgana: I highly doubt something like that would actually happen, even in Mementos...Well, I guess you can at least try making a wish.
With the star thing only on what Morgana was asking Keiko to try it out.
Keiko: You think we should?
Ann: Okay...I wish for all-you-can-eat parfaits! With zero calories!
Ryuji: An extra-large beef bowl! With pork soup on the side!
Saying those things, and...nothing happens at all.
Keiko: (It's not working. The charm wouldn't be working either.)
Morgana: ...Nothing's happening.
So what happens with the star wishing thing?
Ann: Was Skull's wish too petty?
Ryuji: You're one to talk!
Morgana: Hm. I guess things don't just happen that easily. But we can't just throw the thing away...Hold onto it for now, Madame Keiko.
Best to be safe than sorry.
Keiko: Got it. Who knows when this thing might come in handy for us during our thieving time.
Morgana: Well, that was a bit unexpected...Let's head back now.
And finally after seeing Jose at long last, the four were all back in the real world to learn a lot about the Metaverse place of Mementos and more to do later on. Training, getting more treasures to sell to get more cash, fighting off other Shadows, treasure chests, and stopping other people with messed up desires to be fixed. A first round to try out and Morgana to turn into a car there, but it was a start.
Ryuji: Mementos, huh...? I still don't really get that place.
Keiko: Hey, we'll get used to it, Ryuji, there's no reason to worry.
For Keiko to say that, Ryuji believes in her 'a lot'.
Ryuji: If you say so, babe...Oh, and what was that wall thing we saw at the end?
For Morgana to explain to everyone else the best he could about it, since he felt it out to know little in words to try to describe it a little.
Morgana: I'm not entirely sure, but it's blocking us from going to a certain depth. If Mementos is the public's Palace though...it might be affected by the general public's belief in us.
Keiko: Really? (He seems to start remembering little at a time so far, slowly but it's getting him somewhere.)
For Keiko to think that for Morgana to know so much.
Ann: Why do you know so much about it, Morgana?
Still, his head was stuck on what he could remember the rest of it. It's not so easy to remember it all yet.
Morgana: My memories are a little foggy in that regard...However, I need to know what lies in the depths of Mementos, no matter what.
Keiko: Well, a promise is a promise, Morgana, I will find your memories if I can still help out others. All of us.
He seems very determined to do it all.
Ann: No matter what...?
Morgana: Mementos is not just everyone's Palace; it's the source of all Palaces. It used to be that Palaces like Kamoshida's with one ruler simply didn't exist. So, if we can do something about the greatest cause of distortions, I'm certain my appearance will...
Ann: You wanted someone to save you too...
Sad huh? Morgana won't admit it, but the others could already tell from the look on his face.
Morgana: I-I just needed pawns...
Keiko: It's okay to feel sad, Morgana.
Ryuji: I see...So that's why you came pokin' your nose around with us.
Either way...The three won't let Morgana down as promised to help him out to still be the Phantom Thieves. Keiko, Ryuji, and Ann are all there for him.
Keiko: Oh, Morgana...We're here for you, all of us are both as a team and as friends.
Ann: Keiko has a very good point...I'll help you too. I hope you can regain what you've lost.
This shows Morgana does care for the others deeply.
Morgana: I'll...be relying on you guys.
Now here's a funny one to ask about Morgana's sex gender out of nowhere...
Ann: By the way, Morgana...are you a boy? Or might you be a girl?
Keiko: It's a boy.
Ryuji: And how can you tell, Keiko?
From the way Morgana was purring next to Ann's leg like a cat 'to imagine himself hugging her too close to her leg'.
Keiko: He likes Ann a lot.
Ryuji: Sick, dude! I know your game!
Morgana moves to see Ryuji getting more jealous when he is next to Ann.
Ann: Ryuji-!
Ryuji: He was lookin' like he was humping your leg.
Anyways, can we get back to the story here...?
Morgana: First of all, I am a boy. You're right, Madame Keiko. And second, don't kick me! A cat does this to people. I have to act like one around others.
Ryuji: And I thought you weren't one.
That he did...
Morgana: Whatever...Anyway, we now know that we can perform minor changes of heart in Mementos. If we come across any eye-catching leads, it is worth dealing with them for a bit of combat practice.
Ann: There weren't any other outstanding ones though...
Ryuji: I bet we'll get tons of 'em if we can change someone famous and make the Phantom Thieves well-known. The big fish are our main targets after all.
Treasure hunting, fighting, stopping Shadows from bad people to change, and such for the four to be ready for anything.
Keiko: The more we do this to get more items and equipped things to have, the stronger we'll get even more.
Morgana: First you guys need to find a way to get through your exams.
Yep, studying for their exams comes first.
Ryuji: I gotta study...
Keiko: We'll be fine, really you guys. Let's just study.
Ryuji: I'll do my best.
Morgana: That's the spirit.
Ann: Oh, Keiko, you're such a good person who's very strong. You're my new best friend. You know that?
Keiko: Really? Aw...Thanks, Ann. You're sweet. I'm glad you're on the team and my best friend too.
Good to know that Keiko and Ann's friendship was growing to be very close friends to both Ryuji and Morgana, they were strong to do anything. And little did they know besides learning more about the mysterious Madarame to be shown soon, same with another student who's their age to be seeing them hanging out to look at the two girls a lot more. Hmmm...OK? Getting back to Leblanc for Morgana and Keiko, to get a group text message from Ryuji and Ann to talk about something in her bedroom.
[Ryuji: Man, that Nakanohara guy was a piece of cake! If we can take down some kinda big target next, we're totally gonna get famous.]
[Ann: Hey! We're trying to help people, not get famous!]
[Ryuji: But if people don't know who we are, how're we gonna give them any courage?]
[Keiko: Are you sure, Ryuji? I mean, I think he's right to be sure of this and to be ready for anything.]
[Ryuji: I get it. And see?]
[Ann: I don't think that you're necessarily wrong...But should we really be doing this at all if we don't have a reason like with Kamoshida?]
[Ryuji: You mean we shouldn't be sticking our noses into other people's business? I dunno, man. If someone's in trouble, it's only natural to wanna help 'em out!]
[Ann: I mean, I agree with that. And I guess I was glad we were able to solve the stalker case.]
[Ryuji: Plus, what good are our Personas if we don't use 'em for good? Don't you agree, Keiko?]
[Keiko: Definitely.]
[Ann: Yeah...You're right.]
[Ryuji: We don't got much time to be arguing over this either. That Madarame(?) guy bothers me.]
[Ann: Yeah. But not getting carried away, you understand, Ryuji? And don't do anything to stand out like failing all your exams.]
[Ryuji: Oh crap! Speaking of that, I haven't studied at all...What about that star? The one Jose gave us. Wonder if that could help us ace the exams...]
[Ann: Yeah, somehow I doubt that.]
[Ryuji: Hell, I'd settle for just not failing.]
[Ann: Bargaining isn't gonna help you here. We couldn't use it for that in the first place. Maybe you should just, I dunno, put some actual effort in? You've still got time.]
[Ryuji: Fiiiine...]
Like Ann just said, she also doubts the star would make that type of wish for them at all, even if Ryuji has to study regularly.
Morgana: Hey, Madame Keiko. Anything you want to know more about Mementos, I promise to keep you posted.
Keiko: Thanks for that, Morgana. I will.
Another day has been done for Keiko and the others to be studying while Morgana helps her out on other things to look up on and has learned so far and texting and then cleaning up the cafe for Sojiro to close up on his way out from working today.
Sojiro: Another day, and another helping hand yet again.
After mopping around the cafe floors, it was time to call it a night for those two. What a day to learn about Mementos, to change someone's heart, and seeing Jose again on what his true goal was.
Year 20xx
Day #30 – May 5/8th - Sunday
Another weekend to go on for Keiko to get out with Morgana for a bit and study somewhere nice, and she has been studying little at a time to remember them very well to do a little on her day off. Good to know...Having a nice walk to read sometimes from the notebook she wrote down on what she has read and to learn about so far, she then comes across Yuuki to see her again.
Yuuki: Amamiya! Hi!
She sees him to be very happy today.
Morgana: It's your friend who makes the Phan-Site.
Keiko: Hi, Yuuki, how have you been?
Yuuki: I'm good like you are...I heard what you did against the stalker, that's great.
Keiko: Thanks...
Good to keep a secret from Yuuki to know about Keiko and the others who were the Phantom Thieves.
Yuuki: There's so much work to be done from the website that I just made...But I'll do my best, you know?
Keiko: It's fine, Yuuki, it's nice to have some back up, I trust you. We all do.
For Morgana to see and hear Yuuki's a good person, Keiko cares for Ryuji and Ann as well.
Yuuki: Hey, if you wouldn't mind if I walked with you to get a few things done and you can too. Is that fine?
Keiko: I don't mind some company, so why not. Let's go. (It's nice to make good friends like Yuuki is. Along with Mr. Sakura, Morgana, Ann, Ryuji, and Akechi-Cun...)
The two hang out as friends only...Yuuki didn't mind as long as Keiko was happy to still love her, a nice person he was to be trustworthy. From seeing Yoshi to be doing his speeches to get a bit better getting people's attentions so far the right way 'to be working where he goes out to eat in a while' and then getting some things at Iwai's place from equipment and other weapons to use 'after selling some treasures to him'.
Morgana: I think we got plenty that we need for the four of us, Madame Keiko. Also the gun was good in the Metaverse so thank him for it and ask while you're at it.
After selling one treasure to have worth the money was worth it to get something, you know? Yuuki sees why Keiko and Morgana go there sometimes. And he also sees that Keiko needed to have a private talk with Iwai about something to know when he has to wait for them, and he does.
Yuuki: Right, I'll be waiting outside...
As he did so, Keiko had one thing to ask from Iwai...
Keiko: Thanks again, Iwai, but can I ask you something before I go?
Iwai: Shoot.
Keiko: (I might as well...) Why did you sell me a...G-U-N?
Iwai: I have a feeling you'll use it for something important to stop something, you have the right to ask me. I can tell, Keiko. You're not a murderer, drug dealer, not ratting me out to the cops, or doing something stupid to get yourself killed. Nah, I know you need it somehow to be more responsible. Look...That's all I can say for now. So I hope to see you again and you know what to do with it. I hope I've answered your question.
Both Keiko and Morgana will take anything to get something from it.
Keiko: It did, thanks again. See you later.
Iwai: Later. And sell me something even better next time.
She will, for Keiko and Morgana, see Yuuki to have him get something for them to be leaving Shibuya together 'for he felt like he was on a real date to take anything from it'.
Yuuki: That man knows how to do business with you guys very carefully.
Keiko: He understands in his own way to getting something to buy or selling things to him, Iwai's a good guy.
Yuuki: Anything's better to have with you in battle. Gears, items, weapons, and other skills to be useful. And for me to help you get some information to be even more useful to the team. Could you tell me more?
Keiko: Just between us though...
Keiko tells Yuuki everything to get the whole story, now he knows all about how it all happened and how everything works for them to go out to eat at some restaurant to talk to each other, while Morgana listens in.
Morgana: What is he up to...?
Nothing much other than learning about Keiko for Yuuki to get her issue more and more now.
Yuuki: (I understand now...) Amamiya, I understand what you're going through to do something with Sakamoto and Takamaki's help. And who's your other friend?
Morgana looks at him to be the one.
Keiko: Trust me, he's more than a cat, Yuuki. I'm glad I told someone...
They talk for a bit while eating a few things to talk about the whole Phan-Site to try making it big for all of Japan to see..
Yuuki: Say, Amamiya. How have things been? You know, with the...special activities? *yawn* Oops, sorry about that. I haven't been getting a lot of sleep lately. I've been staying up managing the Phan-Site all night, every night. I think it's called…PR?
Someone sure sounds and looks a bit tired.
Keiko: Ah...You mean Phan-Site?
Yuki: Yeah, that. The Phantom Thieves Aficionado Website! Phan-Site for short. You need a catchy name if you want people to notice you. This is all a bit of P-Thieves propaganda! Basically, there's no point in taking down bad guys if nobody's gonna know about it. That's why I've started a blog for posts from people you guys saved, while filtering out the haters. We need the Phantom Thieves to be seen in the proper light if we want to make the name popular, right?
Keiko: You've done good, Yuuki.
Not bad for someone like Yuuki to have this type of skill.
Yuuki: Really?! Just hearing you say that, Amamiya, makes me all-nighters worth it! All for you...Though actually, I really wanna know how you punish people…Don't worry, I'm not gonna ask. It wouldn't be any fun if you just up and told me. After all, the Phantom Thieves have a reputation for being secretive!
Keiko: ...OK?
A bit odd to say, but okay. Still, Yuuki wishes he couldn't have done a lot more from the past.
Yuuki: I...I wish I could be more like you guys somehow. But I'll still be here to draw attention to the stuff you do! You can leave that part to me! I'm gonna use my Phan-Site to promote the Phantom Thieves, and weed out any negative comments. Your popularity is gonna be at my mercy…or uh, my fingertips. It's like I'll be your strategic image management representative, so to speak.
Keiko: Sounds cool.
Good to know, even Morgana agrees.
Morgana: Very cool indeed. (Good thing I tagged along to see how trustworthy Mishima is, and I guess he passed.)
So true, Yuuki's is part of the Phantom Thieves' group in some way.
Yuuki: I knew you'd understand me, Amamiya! Anyway, I'm gonna do everything I can to make sure that title's more than just for show. *yaaawn* I've gotta say though, managing the Phantom Thieves' reputation is tiring work…The forum gets all sorts of weird posts, including tons of things unrelated to reforming society…It'd defeat the purpose of the site if the truth of the Phantom Thieves was buried among all that garbage. Oh, but you don't need to worry. I'll sort through all the trash. Speaking of which, I've actually already found some worthwhile info about our very own school. Our quest to boost your popularity can start close to home! I'll give it my all!
Again, Keiko and Morgana know what Yuuki will be doing to not over do so much on his end.
Keiko: Sure. Thanks again, Yuuki. (But don't overdo it please. For our sake and mine...)
Go to know. Keiko can get some information from Yuuki himself to tell her about the targets to go after and such, with his Arcana and Confidant going up to level 2 now. He was a personal information know-it-all type of guy. For the Phan-Site will be a big hit soon enough.
Yuuki: I might be overworking myself though… *yaaawn* Man, I'm exhausted…I think I'd fall asleep on the spot if I weren't talking to you. I should head home…See you later.
Keiko: Well, I better go home as well. See you later, Yuuki, it was fun talking to someone today. Bye.
Morgana: Bye-bye. (He's a good person when you get to know his reasons why he's doing all of this for us.)
The two go their separate ways afterwards for Keiko to enjoy telling Yuuki and him to still help out the team to love Keiko a lot.
Yuuki: Bye, Amamiya, take care...That was so much fun...
Good friendship, huh? On Keiko and Morgana's way back near Cafe Leblanc, Yuuki calls her to make sure she got back alright.
Keiko: Yes, Yuuki?
[Yuuki: Oh, Amamiya? Listen to this! I was checking the Phan-Site earlier, and found a bunch of hater comments about the Phantom Thieves! It got me so mad, I'm not even sleepy anymore. At this point, I might as well pull an all nightery fighting back!]
[Keiko: Nice hustle, image manager.]
[Yuuki: It's a strategic image management rep! The title is important. Try to remember the whole thing, okay? Well, I'm gonna work my butt off! Just watch me! Well, duty calls. I better set out for the Battle of the Phan-Site. Time for a wild night of modding and banning!]
You heard the guy; he's going to get to work. Keiko seems happy to help Sojiro make some coffee with him, clean up a bit, get something in Shibuya – Underground Walkway to have some drinks; and then working at the Beef Bowl Shop to get people working hard for Keiko to run more charity work to getting paid a little for today. And who comes in next to see Keiko working hard while eating? None other than Yoshi himself to feel just fine and his normal self again.
Morgana: Madame Keiko, look. It's the politician man.
She sees Yoshi again.
Keiko: Oh! It's you, Yoshi! I'm just aiding the people on what type of food they should keep. Is there anything you need?
Yoshi: Hello, Keiko, we meet again...You appear to be having some hard time organizing the food status.
Keiko helps out at the place to give out people's point of view on what they ate. See which meat is better than the other to eat and keep, and the other one not so much to throw out for a little payment there to start off small, but helps out others.
Yoshi: I see what you do here...Also, you know who the manager of this place is? I wish to speak to him about hiring other people here. Look how busy it has gotten.
With other cooks making lots of food since Keiko helped out a lot lately.
Keiko: I think I saw him at the back taking care of something. (This has to work to have Yoshi's words to be heard more...) I don't work here as a chef, but I get things done to do what's right for others on what they can eat.
Yoshi: Thank you again, Keiko, I'll handle the rest.
And off he goes after eating something from there to leaving the place, Keiko seems to be getting Yoshi to support in some way.
Morgana: I think we're starting off pretty well, Madame Keiko. Let's wrap this up and go home.
Keiko: Okay. Let's just hope Yoshi's words will get out a lot more real soon.
Morgana: Hey, Madame Keiko, you got a phone call from your boyfriend.
Keiko finishes brushing her teeth and gets into her PJ's to answer the call from Akechi.
Keiko: (Yes! He's calling me!) Hi...
Feeling shy on the phone to speak, this only makes Akechi feel very happy to hear Keiko's voice.
[Akechi: Is that my Princess sounding cute again?]
Keiko: What? I just never talked to you like this before.
[Akechi: And I love every moment of it. I just thought I would come over to see you tomorrow night, we both got out of school. Does that sound fine with you?]
Keiko: Other than I have to study for the upcoming exams, I don't mind seeing you, Akechi-Cun. I like going out at times, but how can we still see each other while I got some homework to be done?
Sounds like a hard thing to do a bit during their high school year, for Akechi will find a way.
[Akechi: That is important...You leave the planning to me, Keiko, and we'll work something out at times to see each other and go out sometimes, okay? Why don't you get some sleep and we'll see each other then.]
Whatever happens tomorrow then, happens.
Keiko: If you say so...Okay, Akechi-Cun, I'll see you tomorrow night at Leblanc. Good night. Don't overdo yourself working, I love you a lot.
This makes Keiko blush a lot to scream in her pillow to let it all out.
[Akechi: That's my girl. I love you too, Princess, sweet dreams.]
A nice phone call of them talking ended so sweetly for Akechi and Keiko to sleep through the rest of the night. Morgana was happy to see Keiko in such a good mood to be in love and doing other things little at a time.
Year 20xx
Day #31 – May 5/9th – Monday
Another train ride to school for Keiko and Morgana to be on, and seeing Ann to feel not quite herself this morning.
Ann: Morning...
Was she okay?
Morgana: Lady Ann...?
Ann: Ugh...Hi, Keiko, sorry...but...
Keiko: Is there something wrong?
With her asking Ann a question, there was something very wrong to tell her friends Keiko and Morgana about it.
Ann: Well, um...do you ever get the feeling you're being watched by someone? It's creeping me out.
Keiko: Another pervert?
For Keiko to be looking around the train station to see that male of someone doing this to Ann, she sees no one. With a lot of people all over the place it was kind of hard to find...And she wasn't getting the bad feeling either.
Keiko: I don't see no one. But, Ann, if someone is really doing this to you...Then tell me, Morgana, or Ryuji.
Ann: I'll try if he doesn't show up when I'm alone.
The two girls will keep that part in mind.
Morgana: A stalker?! Now that's what I call getting goosebumps.
Hopefully this person isn't trouble for them at all. The two headed to school to do some classes 'while text messaging with each other during the time when they're free'.
[Ryuji: Hey, don't you think the atmosphere at school's kinda different now?]
[Ann: You mean there is no Kamoshida?]
[Ryuji: Yeah, nobody ever talked about him out in the open like this before.]
[Keiko: That's true.]
[Ryuji: I wish someone'd just thank us for it or something...]
[Ann: Either way, everything has worked out for the best. After all, Kamoshida's actually been punished for his crimes. That's victory enough for me.]
[Keiko: I hope you guys are sure about all of this, but I still agree.]
[Ryuji: I wonder what's gonna happen to him now. I mean, he's a famous criminal at this point, right? He's gonna have to deal with people hating him forever...]
[Ann: That might be true, but I don't have any sympathy for him. He got what he deserved.]
[Ryuji: For sure.]
Some other good news of the area and the school gets to hear a lot about the Phantom Thieves to liking and believing in them to grow more and more. Awesome! From there with Keiko and Yuuki seeing each other from after school to be doing well to be helping them out, and throughout text messaging from time to time. And to also tell her on someone else to be targeted later on, of a bark and a bite of a bully to look up to and to do when they have the time 'which they will'.
Morgana: Oh! You got some info on a new target! I know this is a small case, but we have a name, so we should be able to consider him a target.
Keiko: Right, Morgana.
[Tayla: Operation Quest - The Bark and Bite of a Bully = Target (Daisuke Takanashi)]
Thanks, Yuuki! Later Keiko and Morgana meet up with Ryuji and Ann on the rooftop of the school to think of a new hideout for them to go to since Makoto might keep them out and/or butt in their conversations again.
Morgana: Okay, here's what we need to talk about doing to get to the next part soon enough. Number one!
They each take turns saying what they needed to do first like making a list.
Keiko: We study hard for the exams coming up as much as we can and get some fresh air in between.
Morgana: Number two!
Ryuji: Have Mishima give us more targets to get and for us to handle in the Mementos part of the Metaverse to hunt down. Lookin' for a bully who goes to our school to make people give him money, we'll find that son a of bitch.
Morgana: And number three!
Ann: Finding another hideout soon enough just in case Niijima-senpai spies a lot to keep us out of this spot. So we better look for one and fast.
And that was it for now, with Keiko making some food for Ryuji to have 'and more for his track practice', for him, Ann, and Morgana loved her cooking 'to learn a lot more from Sojiro's helping her out', that was it for today.
Morgana: Then it's settled. Let's take care of one thing at a time first...And remember, we have to get back on the rest later and find another hideout real soon. Are we all clear?
Keiko, Ryuji, and Ann: Yes!
Morgana: Then this meeting has come to a close for today, let's get home for you three who need to study.
Either way – Keiko was ready for the exams to do well, and she hopes for other two friends were the same thing; even for Ryuji to do his very best to studying hard on his end...From there, it was the end of school for Keiko to do some exercises somewhere else at the gym with Ryuji to get him all good for the legs and such at the gym, a nice one that doesn't cost a lot either. Looks cool because it's called Protein Lovers...What a weird name; for it not only helps out Ryuji but Keiko as well to have nice showers to use after a good workout while Morgana waits around from outside of the place to get exercise of his own.
Ryuji: Nice place, huh Keiko?
Keiko: I can do this all day long, Ryuji. This will be good for your track running skills to come back again and for me to stay in shape.
Ryuji was staring at Keiko's hot body in a work out suit.
Ryuji: And something about us on a date like this...?
Almost trying to touch her again, Keiko moves on to another weight lifting part for Ryuji to miss his chance.
Keiko: Please don't...Let's just keep going from set to set as little as we can.
This guy never gives up being friends with Keiko only, huh? Bummer...
Ryuji: (But that doesn't mean I won't give up on you.)
Familiar Voice: Sakamoto?
While they were working out well for the two, Ryuji sees one of the students to run into name Ikeda for he once helped him out on track like a type of senpai teacher.
Ryuji: Ikeda-senpai! What's bonkin'?
The man laughs when Ryuji slips up in his words.
Ikeda: "What's bonkin'? Hahaha, you're as eloquent as ever, Sakamoto.
They seem to know each other very well.
Keiko: (Looks like they really know each other.)
Ryuji: Heck yea, man! I've been studin' my words n' shit!
Ikeda: Of course you have, haha. Oh, and you don't need to call me senpai anymore. I've already graduated, remember?
From one person after another who helped out Ryuji during some hard times, Ikeda was happy to see him looking better than ever'. Soon Ikeda noticed Keiko was with Ryuji today.
Keiko: Hello there, Ikeda.
Ikeda: Hm? I haven't seen you before...Were you on the track team?
Keiko: Sorry, I'm not.
She's just the first friend Ryuji to ever have.
Ryuji: Her? Nah, Keiko's uh...A friend! Well, kind of a very hot friend to me.
Ikeda: Trying to pick the right girl for you I see.
Not going to happen at all...
Keiko: Please don't, Ryuji... (Ann's the one for you, not me.)
For they were both happy to see each other and Ikeda was running in a track team in some type of university; saying about how bad Ryuji felt to know that Ikeda never liked Suguru either after what he has done to him and the other members of the team but the former gym teacher himself.
Ryuji: By the time he showed up, the track team was already...well, y'know.
Since Suguru took over the gym and such, things weren't the same anymore at first, but now it is to make things better again.
Ikeda: Speaking of which, how's your leg?
A whole lot better than before.
Ryuji: Eh, I'm managin'...How 'bout you, Senpai? You still runnin'?
Still call Ikeda Senpai who helped out Ryuji a lot, but it can't be helped.
Ikeda: I actually joined my university's track team. You'd think I would've quit entirely after what happened...
From the whole teacher replacement thing and having Ryuji's track team get kicked off as planned by Suguru himself.
Ryuji: About that, I'm really sorry...
But that was all in the past to know what really happened, well for Ikeda to really know the whole truth.
Ikeda: No, I should be the one apologizing.
Keiko: Really?
Being confused for Ikeda explains everything to Ryuji about it.
Ikeda: I was supposed to be the leader of our team, yet I just resigned myself to Kamoshida's will...
Ryuji: That's 'cause you needed him to write your letter of rec, right? You were just lookin' out for your future...but I still managed to eff it up anyways.
Well, now they both know on their own ends on what happened to finally have the nightmare to end.
Ikeda: Kamoshida clearly never intended on writing my letter of recommendation. You were just his excuse not to. And honestly, I enjoy where I am now. The track team isn't anything special, but it's perfect for me. So in truth, I should be thanking you for what you did, Sakamoto.
I guess all good things turn out in the end. Since Suguru out to have the team reinstated to be good and another nice and good gym teacher name Mr. Yamauchi will be taking over real soon. So that was good news!
Ryuji: Senpai...
Ikeda: I've always regretted not doing more to protect you guys...But I heard some good news recently...The Shujin track team's being reinstated!
From one good news, this was even bigger to be a very good one. The track team for Shujin was coming back.
Ryuji: For real!?
Keiko: What wonderful news!
In no time, Ryuji will be back in his own way on the track team again.
Ikeda: I mean, Kamoshida confessed all the horrible stuff he did, right? I guess the school got the old team together and told them they want to try starting it up again.
Ryuji: ...Nobody told me about that.
Strange, it just been said, but not told anywhere else or to anyone, huh? Do the other guys know about this?
Ikeda: Huh, odd...The rumor got as far as me, and I'm not even a student anymore. Anyway, I heard they've going to get Mr. Yamauchi as their new advisor.
Big news for the two boys is that Mr. Yamauchi is good at the gym to take over next.
Ryuji: Yamauchi...? Hold up, THAT Yamauchi?!
Keiko: You two know him?
Sure sounds like it, this guy once worked with Suguru by force.
Ikeda: Yup, the one who was basically Kamoshida's lapdog. Apparently he volunteered. He's really enthusiastic about pulling the track team up from the ashes.
Ryuji: He is...?
Ikeda: You take it easy, Sakamoto, I hope you'll run again too. You know, now that the team is being reinstated, there's no need for any bad blood, right? Why don't you go talk to them? I'm sure they could use someone with your passion.
Nice way to say it, huh? I think Ryuji will take his old teacher's advice to do so and from Keiko's support. As for having the three other guys to listen to Ryuji's reasons, it might be a bit harder to try doing track again on his own decision, with Keiko's help.
Ryuji: ...Yeah.
Ikeda: Well you take it easy, Sakamoto, and nice friend you have there. Later.
And this Yamauchi guy who was once Suguru's lapdog 'to be no more now' will do some good to help other students to train and treat them fairly. Once Ikeda left to finish working out somewhere else in the gym, hopefully Ryuji will think otherwise on what to do with the track team making his old members come to their senses.
Keiko: Ryuji?
Ryuji: I'm fine, Keiko, really...So the track team's comin' back...Good for them.
Is he sure Ryuji was feeling well?
Keiko: You seem conflicted about it.
Ryuji: Nah not really...For real though, I'm glad the team's comin' back. It's sweet that Nakaoka and them can start trainin' again. But I'm still worried 'bout their advisor, Yamauchi. He's basically like a mini-Kamoshida.
Yamauchi was once, huh? Can't say I blame the guy who was pushed around so much.
Keiko: So he's a...
He says the rest to Keiko about the man who he once was, to hopefully not be like Suguru used to be.
Ryuji: An asshole, yeah. Basically. He's always yell at us at practice, but then be a huge kiss-ass when our parents were around. Ugh, I can't believe a moron like that's gonna be advisin' the track team. He doesn't even teach PE! ...He's gotta be up to something. I'll do some research...There's a chance I'm gonna need your help too, mkay?
Sounds serious. But if Ryuji's really sure about this whole thing, then so was Keiko to feel out something was up to help out her friend.
Keiko: I'll do what I can to lend you a hand.
Ryuji: Sweet! You'd be free to lend me a hand if I need it, yeah? I'll be countin' on you, babe-! I mean, Keiko. Lots to do, in so little time, huh Keiko? I guess we'll have to make it count for me to get back on track. Heh...
Bad joke aside from Ryuji, Keiko smiles to help out her friend.
Keiko: Oh, boy...Ryuji, you're funny. I'll do what I can to help you out, you can count on me. If Ikeda believes in you too, and so will I, Ann, Morgana, and others who believe in your dreams. (And you will make it happen on the track field again.)
A lot of things to be going on for his Arcana and Confidant goes up to level 5 ...As Ryuji wanted to do so much more to help out the other members and hopefully the rest isn't a set up.
Ryuji: All right, we don't have time to be messin' around here anymore! Let's head home! Wait, I gotta shower first...!
Keiko: Yes, me too. And use the boys locker room please.
Ryuji: I know...! Seeya!
Heading back to Cafe Leblanc for Keiko and Morgana to go in for a bit, as Ryuji calls his friend up on something else to talk about today.
Keiko: Forgot something, Ryuji?
[Ryuji: Yo, Keiko! What's bonkin'?]
Keiko: "Bonking"? I still don't know what that means.
[Ryuji: About that stuff today...I can't really let myself be happy about the track team startin' up again. Like I said earlier, there's just somethin' fishy about Yamauchi being the advisor. But I mean, if anything happens, I know you got my back. So I ain't too worried!]
Keiko: *chuckle* Don't worry. I gotcha.
[Ryuji: Thanks, babe! I knew I could count on you! I mean, we don't know for sure if anythin' sketchy's goin' on. But when I get these gut feelings...they're usually right. Well, if I hear anything, I'll hit you up. Okay, later!]
Hanging up now...
Keiko: Oh, Ryuji, you're something else but in a good way.
Such a good friend Ryuji is with Keiko, for she solves another crosswords puzzle today in seconds. And then the 2 headed out to the Station Square of Shibuya to see how Yoshi was doing in his speeches so far.
Morgana: Where to now, Madame Keiko?
Keiko: Let's go see how Yoshi's speech is doing since last night.
Morgana: Good idea.
Arriving there for Yoshi to see Keiko to be listening in again to the whole thing with a few people there so far, these speeches needed to be heard out a whole lot more.
Yoshi: Oh, Keiko, from the Beef Bowl Show and who's been seeing my speeches a lot. I'm glad you're here. I'm trying to spread the word out and I might need your help to get out a lot more for my politician work as a Diet member. Would you help me out?
This was her chance to help Yoshi make a change.
Keiko: (Right on time.) Just tell me what to do and I'll do it!
She was in to aid Yoshi while Morgana watches and hears the whole thing go down...With Keiko holding up a sign to say something of Yoshi's name and what he does, some of the people come around to pay attention to this from his words to get out a lot more...
Yoshi: (Here we go...) Everyone! The lines of what is considered right and wrong in society today have been blurred. With common sense no longer our guide, we make decisions based on our selfish wants and desires. This has resulted in a deluged of self-centered people who delight in taking advantage of the weak. However, even in this modern day and age, it is imperative that we act in the best interests of all. A world where it is acceptable to trample on the rights of others for your own benefits...A world where the young exist only to be exploited...is a world that must be changed!
For others to hear Yoshi out to see the mess up ways and what he almost got his heart to change after being saved, for them to question him still.
Man: No way!
Woman: Is this guy for real?
Man: I don't get it...
Woman: Me either...
One of the people steps up to see if what Yoshi was saying was right or not.
Man: And how do we know if you're right about all of this? Huh? About this politician party thing going on?!
He answers in as honest a way possible...
Yoshi: You must've decided mostly on the party's point of view on what they think they do sometimes...If I get elected one day, I can help out a lot more than you all think.
For others to question themselves to say we'll see to believe it until then and others to ignore Yoshi, it's all up to the people now, but it was enough with Keiko's help to get something out to say about it for him to thank her next.
Keiko: Tough crowd, huh? (But still, Yoshi's right. Things like the innocent people getting hurt from the train mental shutdown can't go on to make a change. A good one.)
Yoshi: Thank you again, Keiko. That is all for today. Well, what do you think of my speech?
It was good.
Keiko: The best interest of all...A lot to mean when you said those words to the others, for the rest to hopefully come to an understanding.
Yoshi: Indeed. Do you feel the same? Such as I am, I'd like to believe that I'm capable of giving a moving speech...However, there are times, like today, when the audience has a different opinion on a topic. Some feel I should concentrate on getting elected before I worry about others...Do you agree?
Keiko: Others can be hard to talk to, but you still have my full support. And those who understand will join in real soon.
She does make a very good point to have Yoshi to keep on going...
Yoshi: Keiko, thank you. It's encouraging to know that my messages have won you over. Besides, I have grown quite accustomed to those types of reactions...Although...I don't know if that is necessarily a good thing. Regardless, no matter what they say, I must continue on...
And he will keep on going too. Hard words go out, make a lot of differences to change things sooner or later.
Keiko: Right! (I think I can learn a lot by listening to Yoshi's speeches...He won't be a nameless man for nothing.)
Yoshi: Well, then I shall see you again soon.
Calling it a day, Keiko and Morgana headed back to Leblanc to sleep for another school day to go to tomorrow. As she was cleaning up again, studied for a bit, and helped out Sojiro make some more coffee for him. All was good for one thing to happen to come knocking on the door to be her boyfriend as promised.
Keiko: Akechi-Cun!
Morgana: He's here?! I knew he would see you, Madame Keiko, but I just never thought it would be so soon.
Seems like Akechi is for Keiko to answer the door.
Keiko: Akechi-Cun, hi.
Akechi: I told you I would come. So, this is the famous coffee restaurant of Cafe Leblanc...
Keiko: Sorry it's late out...
Akechi: It's fine, I want to come here sometimes for us to talk other than go out. I hope that's fine with you, Princess.
Keiko: It's fine you want to stay here for a bit.
A nice way to spend the night from Akechi is to know what Keiko goes through to be studying a lot for them to do their best to get through their high school years and still have some fun, besides Akechi working hard as a detective too. For him to never be apart without hanging out with the love of his life Keiko, same with her to do other things when she can.
Akechi: It looks like you can memorize things very well once you look at the paper a lot.
Keiko: It's hard, but a lot of practice does help me out. So, Akechi-Cun, how do you do it?
Akechi: Do what?
With Morgana going to bed to let them be for a while.
Keiko: Work as a detective and still go to school as a hard working student? It must be a tough life for you and dating someone like me.
True, but that won't ever stop Akechi from doing what he does best to stop crime and live a normal life with someone he's in love with.
Akechi: I'm used to it, really. It's okay to have something done in your lifetime. Two's enough for me.
Keiko: I see... (He's something else.) I guess we both have good things to go through in our lives.
Moving up closer to Akechi to like being this close to Keiko to have their moment since he helped her study so far, which was a very good thing.
Akechi: That we do, Princess. And no matter where we go, you know that I'll always be there for you.
Keiko: Oh, Akechi-Cun. (No matter what him and I do, to do what needs to done to get to each other, I've chose to become a Phantom Thief to save lives from the bad ones to change while Akechi stops the bad people to also solve cases for me to support his work so I'm not lying and I never will; he doesn't have to know unless one day if he does find out to understand me and my friends. And I'll make sure of it too.)
For the two kisses and hold each other on the bed to enjoy their moment to last forever for time to stop...love is love to be the sweetest thing in the whole wide world. Soon to be holding each other from time to time – Akechi will come by to keep seeing on how Keiko's doing to hang out like this, and still go out once in a while to make things much easier for the two to agree with each other with the whole thing.
Akechi: I like doing this...
Keiko: Me too...
Akechi: I guess it's official for me to come here sometimes to hang out and more dates when we do go out together.
Keiko: I like that very much.
A good way to see Akechi more for Keiko to be happy to have him in her life now and in love. To cuddle for a bit longer and then go back home, for Keiko and Morgana to get plenty of rest for another day of school tomorrow. Lots of things to be done one at a time, yes...but it'll get better soon enough as always for them.
