Hakuno and Ann were on their way to meet up with the rest of the thieves as her phone buzzed. It was a link sent by Ryuji to a news site.
Madarame's face appeared on Hakuno's phone. The older man was crying, "I… I have committed crimes that are unbecoming of an artist… Plainly put… I um… plagiarized work. I-I tainted this …this country's art world! Even the 'Sayuri'! I can't… possibly apologize to- to everyone for what I've done!"
Hakuno closed her eyes for a moment as she took it in. 'Two, three if you count myself, successful adventures for the Thieves… And with all the victims constantly meeting up… it would be best to suggest we have a more hidden hiding place.'
Akira and Morgana were the only two at the thieves' meeting spot, "Hey Hakuno… we found this in your… place," Akira grimaced as he pulled out a small gemstone, "I forgot about it, I wanted to ask if you think we should sell it. It feels weird."
Hakuno rolled the small emerald in her hand, she could sense a small bit of mana was inside… She might be able to do something with this…
Hakuno nodded as she put it in her pocket for later. "Thank you."
Ryuji walked up slapping Akira on the back with a large grin on his face, "You guys see the news about Madarame!? It's just like what happened with Kamoshida!"
"They mentioned the Phantom Thieves this time too!"
"Keep it down." Yusuke stated as he approached from the crowd, he made a small motion towards two officers.
Hakuno nodded, "I think it would be best to leave…" The officers then walked up to the group.
"Hello there. May I speak with you all for a moment?" Hakuno nodded and shifted her bag. The movement caused the officer to look at them.
"What are you all doing here? Are you all friends?"
Hakuno noticed Ryuji about to speak up and decided to speak first, "Apologize officer, I am just here with my cousin and her boyfriend. They recently started dating and wanted to introduce everyone to each other."
Ann's cheeks turned pink as the other officer coughed in his hand, "Ah… yes, young love, come on we shouldn't hold them up too much."
The first officer glanced at his coworker before sighing, "Just make sure you disperse before it gets too late, ok? There have been some odd happenings lately, and the news about that artist has caused quite the stir."
Hakuno nodded as the officers left which led to Akira chuckling and Ann sputtering.
"Man those assholes have too much time on their hands…" Ryuji muttered.
"You guys… don't even understand the reality of the situation…" Hakuno stated, "We should go somewhere discreet."
"She has a point!" Morgana stated from Akira's bag, "So many prior victims of the two targets meeting up just after someone confesses?"
"How about we head to that karaoke bar?" Akira asked.
"Would look like a place for a date." Hakuno said while looking at Ann and Ryuji… and Ryuji seemed totally oblivious.
Poor Ann.
Hakuno wished she had brought earplugs. "So like I was thinking…" Ryuji stated as he was wolfing down chips. "Where ya going to stay Yusuke?"
The group had to cram themselves close as their… neighbors sang loud… some song about dread or something.
"I will be heading to Kosei's dorms, my fine-arts scholarship allows me to stay there for free…" Yusuke was slowly eating.
"Are you like good or anything?"
"Have you seen his art Ryuji?" Akira asked as the blond shook his head.
"Although… I would've liked to stay at Hakuno and Ann's house, but alas I wouldn't wish to sleep in the living room."
"Like hell we'd let you!"
Akira had a smirk on his face, "Wouldn't it be best? You could have them model for you."
Morgana howled as if he was in pain, "NO!"
"Not even happening." Ann stated.
"We should wait a while before targeting someone… letting things settle before the next large scale operation." Akira continues before Ryuji can intervene, "Now now I know we will keep going… but just wait until the heat dies down a bit."
"Now.. why don't we sing!?"
Ann was giving her the Tohsaka glare. Hakuno was nervous.
Maybe she went a bit too far earlier?
Ann sighed, "Hakuno…sense when did you tease?"
Hakuno nodded, it seemed fun. "It might also let Morgana to stop being so… pawsseve over you."
"... did you just make a pun."
Hakuno tilted her head, "Bad taste?"
Ann pinched Hakuno's cheeks, "Too cute, You are so going to get it when you find someone."
6/6
Makoto was in the Principal's office. She grimaced as she saw the disappointed look in his eyes. "How are things going in regard to that matter we spoke of earlier?"
Makoto took a breath, "I… have nothing to report." Why was she lying? She knew who the Phantom Thieves were…
But her Friend is one of them.
But!?
"Nothing at all? How many students are there who could provoke a teacher!?" He was upset and Makoto just had to endure.
"I… apologize…"
"I don't want your apologies." He pushed pencils on his desk to make them perfectly straight, "I want results."
"...You knew, didn't you? About Kamoshida's sexually harassing students…" Makoto could've sworn the man was about to break a blood vessel.
She took a step back as he took a deep breath.
"What will come of you asking that?"
"Sir this is for a just cause right!?"
"I'm sure it was truly shocking for you as a student council president to see a peer in that situation… But we must provide a school environment where all students can feel… at ease."
…At ease? That situation?"
I wish to believe that this whole investigation is unneeded but with Madarame confessing in a similar matter… I suggest you devote your energy to the task at hand, not unnecessary questions… Or your recommendation letter could find their way to a more… deserving person."
"I.. understand Sir… now if you will excuse me." Makoto… had to make sure of their Justice.
6/7
Hakuno was speechless as she read the new sign on the school's note board.
A request to the student body, asking information on any wrongdoings done by the students, and to inform the Student Council of anything.
Well… that is certainly one way to get information about their next target, Hakuno pulled out her phone.
Pirateboi: Did everyone see that stupid poster!?
Tricky&Kitty: Hakuno… Makoto didnt put it up did she?
Hakunon: No the Principal did
Catburglar: Ya sure? Cause it sounds like somethin she would do
Hakunon: I am sure… Makoto is heavily debating herself on what to do… She said she will be looking for some way for us to prove our Justice.
Pirateboi: Prove jack shit! The Phantom Thieves have done more then anything she ever did to help people!
Tricky&Kitty: She does know about the Metaverse… her saying anything would be bad… who knows what someone could do with access to the Metanav.
Catburglar: Hakuno, can you make sure that she doesnt do anythin crazy?
Pirateboi: Like go into the Metaverse without a Persona?
Catburglar: Shut up! No one plans to go into it without someway to fight.
Hakunon: … Makoto isn't like that. But yes… I will try.
Makoto had told Hakuno that she was swamped in replies to the student council, and might have a… request in a few days once she sorts out what's been happening.
Leaving Hakuno to check out her Mystic Codes. Hakuno had her… staff? Apparently when you 'awaken' to your rebellious will a the Metaverse gives you a weapon of sorts...
Strangely convenient.
Her… staff seemed retractable as well, making it easier to hide in her bag. She is slightly glad that it isn't something…large and crazy, like Yusuke's Katana or Ryuji's hammer.
Hakuno held her staff as she channeled her Od into it; she couldn't figure out any sort of material, but it felt a bit like wood…She could feel the connection she was able to make with her magic circuits. The Regalia resonated with her circuits closer than anything, but the staff was a distant second.
It makes morbid sense that the Regalia, something formed from the memories of herself and other versions of her, would be as closer then whatever the Metaverse made...
She took out the small emerald and felt the rush of wind from deep within it. Perhaps she can work on adding wind to the function of her staff?
Or…
Hakuno dug around in her small box of jewelry for 'important' events and took out a small sturdy ring as she brought out a screwdriver to wedge the old stone out, replacing it with the new the prongs back over the new stone Hakuno channeled her Od into it slowly as she felt the rush of wind …it was slightly weaker but felt slightly more focused.
Perhaps she could use it to fire off wind spells in the Metaverse? Something to try.
6/9
Hakuno had decided to join a majority of her classmates and head to the Tokyo Imperial Palace for her social studies it seemed as if the thieves were going to some TV studio…
And Makoto didn't have the chance to due to her student council work.
Leaving Hakuno alone to walk with her group in the Three Palace Sanctuaries, the only one she vaguely knew was Yoshizawa… and even then it was just knowing about her.
"Hello, Kishinami-san!" Think of the red headed girl and she appeared.
Hakuno nodded her head, "Yoshizawa-san." Yoshizawa beamed at the reply for some reason?
"I wasn't expecting you to answer! You are kind of famous for not talking too much…"
Hakuno slightly smiled, "I do talk… once I get to know people. Mostly with my friends and family."
Yoshizawa nodded at that, "I understand… It took meeting Kurusu-senpai and Doctor Maruki to get me out of my own shell."
Akira?
"Ah… you know Akira as well?"
"Oooo" Her eyes shined, "First name basis? Are you and him…" She blushed slightly before Hakuno shook her head.
"No… my cousin and him are close and we all hang out together…"
"Ah… that's good…" She seemed to wait a moment before realizing what she said, "Not to say that you and him wouldn't be good together or anything!?"
Hakuno sighed as she shifted her bag, "Not interested in him like that…"
Yoshizawa nodded, "Um… so the Yata no Kagami?"
Hakuno looked over Tamamo's Mirror… at least a replica of it, it was nothing like the floating mirror that protected the Kitsune…
Hakuno shrugged as she and her group continued on their tour…
6/11
Hakuno and the thieves were now in central square, Fox had called for them all to meet up to talk…
"I am moving out of my dorms." Hakuno could just feel a headache happening…"My art is being stunted in that place... so I would like to borrow your couch for now," He was staring right at Hakuno and Ann as he brought out a box of chocolates… "I've even prepared a thank-you gift. I hope it's to your liking."
"WHAT!? There is no way that's gonna happen!"
"Impossible…"
Hakuno sighed, "You're the impossible one dude."
"But…I spent everything I had on these delectable Japanese sweets…"
"For real!?"
"Yusuke… We have to find a way for you to budget… Seriously though.. What are we going to do about him?"
"Welllllll, seeing as Yusuke is an important member of our team!" Morgana had a huge smirk on his face, "I'll lend a hand!" Hakuno chuckled as Akira's face froze, "Come and stay at our place! It's dirty, but at least you'll have a place to sleep!"
"Wouldn't that be discussed between all three of you?"
Akira robotically turned his head to the cat, "Boss would kill me."
"Don't you two live in a café? I've been wondering about that for a while… Yongen isn't too far is it?"
"The cafe's only a minute walk from the station!" Morgana was completely ignoring the pleading look of Akira.
"How bout we head over there now! We can have a party!"
"Good idea! Two new member welcome party here we come!"
"Didn't we have one in our place a few days ago?" Ann smiled bright as she shook her head.
"Nope~! That was your recovery party! Now lead on Ren!"
Hakuno had a strange feeling as she walked up to Leblanc… the smell was… familiar?
Maybe it was because of Akira?
"Ah… what a nice smell." Ann stated as they walked in, Hakuno right behind her… the man behind the counter was wearing a pink shirt and white dress pants…
Somewhat familiar…
"This place looks so outdated… I can't say I hate it though," Ryuji states as he looks around.
"I believe that is called… Retro."
"Hm? Who're they… wait a moment." Hakuno looked into the older man's eyes… his face seemed… familiar…
"Do I know you from somewhere?" He says as he looks at Hakuno.
Hakuno shrugged slightly, "Hakuno Kishinami. A pleasure." His face freezes.
"Uh.. do you two know each other?" Ryuji asked as it suddenly got awkward.
"You… you were the girl at Wakaba's…"
A momentary memory of Wakaba Isshiki's funeral flashed in Hakuno's mind. "Ah.. yes… I was at Wakaba's funeral…"
"... Do you four mind if I talk to her alone for a moment? Take them upstairs kid."
"Boss… is something the matter?" Akira spoke up
"This doesn't concern you." He snapped at the frizzy haired teen.
Hakuno gave them a nod as they filtered upstairs as Hakuno gave Ann a reassuring smile.
"... Have you talked to Futaba since it happened?"
Hakuno shook her head, "I… don't have any way to contact her…I even tried one of the games we used to play together…"
"I see… do you think…" He shook his head, "I am Futaba's current guardian… Do you think you can come over again? I might be able to talk her into talking to you."
Hakuno nodded, she does miss Futaba…
"Thank you, can you also… keep it a secret from the rest of them? I don't want to overwhelm her…Now why don't you head up to join them?" Sojiro's face softened as she nodded and joined the rest of the thieves.
Inside a dimly lit room a young girl with long orange hair sat at her computer, she was listening in on the conversation between Hakuno Kishinami and Sojiro Sakura…
"Haku?"
Author's Note: HA it took 17 chapters for Futaba to come back but she is back! Though she still won't be involved too much at the moment due to the Mafia palace soon… But! She is back! And auto-correct saves me everytime I type Leblanc cause I can never spell it right.
I did find out that SP has no official like Name or description at least during the time I spent looking for it. If anyone does have something Canon I'll change it to that.
But for now I'm going to use it as spirit power, but instead of like how Od is from the Soul, Spirit Power more originates in the Mind. Reason being from what I remember in Fate/Extella the Mind kept its Personal Experience and Passion. Those two things are a large part of what a Persona is from what I have seen.
If i'm wrong on any of the stuff give me a heads up, i mainly use the wikis and my sort of memory of Extra/Extella and FGO for Fate stuff and make up anything that makes sense to me that isn't covered. Like I know Od is generated from the soul, but like wouldn't part of it come from the Mana of the world? My assumption is that you need a bit of both, Od is the excess of your soul generating Mana from the world. Normal people can't generate magical energy and when Mana died out most magecraft did as well. You still generate some Od without help from the world as long as your body is suited for it, but its a lot slower. For Hakuno in a dried out world it takes days of non metaverse activity to 'top off' her reserves. SP on the other hand, fully charges each time you sleep. If Hakuno rests in the Metaverse without fighting she can probably get to max after a few hours.
I know the wiki's arent like most accurate but they are more useful then just relying on my memory and rereading sections of the video games.
