Hang out

Rank 4 co-op with Yusuke
-Y, thanks for helping me out. I can’t sketch if I have to row a boat
1 what is this 2 why boat 3 I wanted to come with a lover/girlfriend
-isn’t it obvious? I can feel there’s a motif here
-I want your help
-woman, look, look! Ducks. Isn’t it cute
-man, don’t get so excited. You’ll fall overboard
-Y, this is it
-I drew this instance of the heart as desire
-however that wasn’t enough to reach the depths of the heart
-so that’s why I was looking for other things that make up the heart. That’s when I found the passion of men and women
-that’s right. Today’s theme is “love.” love! It’s love!
-listen up, you have a very important role
-while I’m drawing, make sure the boat doesn’t rock. Move in the opposite direction of the waves
-this angle
-it’s amazing
-Adam and Eve we saw in the bible, something about Buddhism…
-please don’t move
-woman, ?!
-Y, that angle, the side of your face
-please look that way again
-man, what are you going on about
-Y, when this is finished, you’ll be a new legend in the art world. Truly Adam and Eve
-you should be happy. Your beautiful love will remain for centuries
-woman, what
-man, um I don’t know
-woman, are you drawing me
-Y, yes, it’s for love
-man, love?
The man and woman are just confused by Yusuke’s antics. They are brother and sister lol

Rank 3 co-op with Oya
-O, a fan site? Oh you mean that thief channel?
-so it’s all the rage with high school kids huh
-they must have a lot of free time. Those thieves are taking on the little villains too
-if my supposition is correct, they’re actually underage. So they have a ridiculous amount of free time
1 they can’t be underage 2 you might be right 3 don’t say whatever you think
-that doesn’t matter. I’m just a journalist that rode the boom
-L, but you’ve gotten ahead of the other media. The journalists that came here before were frustrating
-O, journalists? Oh
-how far have I fallen to be put on the same level as those hyenas
-the company’s calling me a paparazzi. I’m a journalist
1 what’s the difference 2 you shouldn’t worry
-gossip journalists are all about money. They don’t care about the truth
-enough about that
1 why don’t you change jobs
-O, I won’t
Something happened with her news partner.
2 what happened
-O, you kids have nothing to do with this
Rank up

Gossip about thieves network
Boys talking

Office
Sae wonders about the thief network.
-Kane turned himself in and is returning everything. Even the police had trouble getting their hands on him
Flashback to Makoto talking about the thieves

Station
Goro is annoyed with the thieves

School
Teacher is talking about Kane turning himself in, students are victims. Police used the term ‘star’ for the criminals. Now that I mentioned star, let’s do this math problem…what the angle is of A to D. Pretty sure it’s 180 degrees. It is.

After school
At hideout
Celebratory, yay. Anne notes that their approval rating is up. Where is Makoto
They got the report that he turned himself in. Police are claiming they did it themselves, but the internet is ablaze with phantom thieves actually doing it. More people believe.
Makoto calls, got called in by the principal
-did a special on the thieves again on TV
-A, let us hear the details
-Ma, looks like they took one of the calling cards
-A, really
-Ma, anyway, sorry about today. See you later
-Y, who was it
MC explains
-R, really? That’s awesome
-Y, with all this commotion, it’d be good if we aren’t targeted by the police
-R, there’s no one that could figure out that world
-Y, that is true but I’ve been concerned
-about what Kane said, the last thing he said there
2 someone other than us is in the palace
-A, that’s right. There’s someone other than us going in and out of the palace
-R, I’m not worried about it. Anyway, now we showed that guy Akechi
-so what should we do about our next target
-A, you’re getting ahead of yourself
-but if it’s causing this much commotion, guess we can look forward to the next one
-R, we’ve come this far. We’d better not pick up a bad one
-Y, no need to rush. If we count starting with K, we have three wins in a row
-we can just wait until the commotion dies down
-A, so how about we have another party
-R, that we can do a welcome party for the president
-that case, if we sell it, we can get a lot. Let’s sell it and go nuts
-M, what happened to quietly waiting
-A, so should we do this without you Morgana
-M, what are you talking about? I’m saying you should quietly make a big commotion
-A, haha, that’s the idea. I’ll go consult with Makoto about the location
Calls her
-oh hey Makoto, there’s something I want to tell you. It’s about…
-ah…
-Ma, do you hear me? everyone aside from Yusuke and Morgana have end of term tests next week
-as student council president, you guys need to study
-if you get terrible grades, you’ll stand out

Principal’s office
-p, can you explain this to me
-Ma, the thieves are just. It is as I read
-p, so do you know who the thieves are
-Ma, no I don’t. I have no idea
-however looking at the situation before now, what they claim to be doing has not wavered
-for that reason, I’ve decided that they’re just and I’ve ended the investigation
-p, there’s no way that’s true
-Ma, that can’t be? What do you mean? Would you show me some evidence
-p, I was going to recommend you to a nice college
-Ma, I don’t need it. I’ll try to get in with my own skills
-excuse me
-p, we’re not done talking
Makoto leaves
-ehh
Phone
-sensei, it’s me. sorry for the interruption
-it’s about that incident
-it is proceeding but we’re having some problems
-why would a person of your caliber be interested in this incident?
-I didn’t mean it like that! yes I’ll continue investigating with all I’ve got
-of course, I’ll see if I can get some good results. I’ll try to tell you soon

Evening, Sae and Makoto
-Sae, I’m home
-Ma, welcome home.
-you look a little tired
-Sa, don’t worry about me. are you studying, Makoto?
-Ma, yes I am
-hey, I was thinking, why do we have to study
-Sae, what do you mean
-Ma, I was just thinking, what lays ahead if I do
-even if I get through the entrance exams, all that awaits is a society that I have to fight my way through
-Sae, it’s to be successful isn’t it? Don’t ask me something like that
-Ma, this is the person the thieves said they would go after, in the rumors, right? He suddenly admitted to all his crimes
-Sae, even the police couldn’t get a hold of the situation
-the only thing I can think of is that his personality changed. But that isn’t possible
-Ma, it’s ok isn’t it? They caught him
-Sae, it wasn’t the result of anyone’s work. To be successful, you have to have an objective
-although I’m sure a child would understand that
Sae leaves
-Ma, so she was going after this incident
-success huh
-you’ve changed, sis
-but I’m ok
-since I found where I belong

Home
Text from group—Ma, the response was incredible. I was a little surprised
-Y, it was a bad guy that even the police were having trouble with. Of course they’d be surprised
-A, anyway you said you were called in by the principal
-something happen?
-Ma, investigation on K incident
-you don’t have to worry. I didn’t talk about you guys
-I said I couldn’t find them
2 that helps a lot
-don’t worry about it
-I’ve graduated from being the teacher’s pet
-going forward I want to be honest with myself
-I feel really clear now
-R, so what are you going to do now? Continue being a thief?
-Ma, that’s what I plan
1 we’d love to have you
-R, we’d be in trouble without you
-Y, I welcome you too. It helps us out
-Ma, then I look forward to working with you guys
Call Kawakami

Rank 3 co-op with Kawakami
-Kawa, how was the maid cooking and eating with the maid option?
-expensive cup ramen is totally different, isn’t it
1 you’re right 2 actually make something place 3 I want a different maid
-if you have a problem with it… I warned you, why did you call me
1 I’m interested 2 to skip out 3 I wanted to see you, sensei
-we recently had a sudden teachers’ meeting. Why was it so long
-it’s all the thieves’ fault. The students have not been calm recently
-how to deal with that, about the thieves, we couldn’t get the teachers’ opinions united
1 is it about your sister’s medical bills 2 I’ll ask for you more 3…
-I have no sister
Phone goes off
-I have a responsibility for some money
She says that she’ll do some of his chores
Rank up – ask Kawakami to make coffee or do coin laundry

Go to sleep

Present with Sae
-Sae, don’t be stupid
-don’t tell me your new comrade was Makoto
-just tell me the truth
1 you decide for yourself
-Makoto…
-this is idiotic. If this is true…
-so when you were arrested, Makoto was nearby and she ran from the police
2 ask her yourself
-but now, thinking about it, she did start asking a lot about the investigation starting around summer
-…..
-putting Makoto’s stuff aside, there’s another piece of important information that we need to talk about
-Kane said that there was someone else other than the thieves using the other world, right
-is that something that will shift the blame for you
1 it’s the truth
-if this is the case, then everything you said up until now makes no sense. Or you’re trying to confuse me
-or everything is the truth
-have you been telling the truth since the beginning
1 of course 2 I have no reason to fool you
-does that mean you trust me?
Faint bond forming with Sae
Rank 1 with the Judgement arcana
-if you trust me, then I have to listen to you honestly
-I don’t have much time left
-the next target targeted you
-the identity of your hacker is this (the green card)
-no picture, name or face. Unknown
-if what you say is true, then you can’t use your navi
-how did you go after them
-now tell me

Sunday, July 10
Daytime
-So, come down here and do chores
Downstairs
-check the greens in the refrigerator
His phone rings
-wrong one? It’s not cute?
-that’s what the employee recommended. Was the printer no good?
-it’s fine but it’s the wrong one?
-understood. I’ll go there right now
Hang up
-this might take a while. Leaving the store to you
-if I don’t come back, close up the store
1 understood 2 is it a date 3 please come back soon
-you could say that
-man, this is a lot of trouble
News talking about Kaneshiro’s change of heart, how sudden it was. We don’t know how they’re doing it but changing peoples’ hearts is a problem. Thieves are an entity that threatens our legal system. Manipulating the hearts of others—this is no different than brainwashing
-old lady, what’s going on? we had this before
-who was it, that famous artist
-old man, ah, Madarame right
-lady, they brought bad people to justice? These thieves aren’t bad
-man, that might be true
-lady, that’s what you think too, boy. The thieves aren’t doing bad things right
1 of course
-see
-oh it’s this time already. We should get going soon
-man, you’re right
-thank you for the coffee
Office
-boss, yes I’ve received reports about the incident with Kane
He is talking with the person above him, trying to reassure him that the thieves aren’t a threat
-I have a plan to make the thieves implode on themselves
-I’m making it so that the shell incidents are the fault of the thieves
-oh I see. It’s a relentless idea
There’s a big plan in motion. The person he’s talking to wants to be the prime minister of Japan. Plans to redo society. World do-over/cleanse…

Evening
Ryuji calls
-oh it’s me, what are you doing right now
1 working at store
-OK
-I’ll be over there
Everyone
-we’ve come to play
-A, no we didn’t. we came to study. We have end of term tests
-Ma, why’d you bring me too
-R, we’re comrades aren’t we? If you don’t teach us, we’ll be in trouble
1 of course
-Ma, even you’re saying that
-A, just ignore them
-Ma, sigh
-last time I came here, I didn’t ask
-what is this place? The store owner isn’t here
-R, this is his house
-his circumstances are, uh, complex
-we can talk about this right? Actually, you should
Later
-Ma, that’s awful…that’s so awful
-R, Anne, Yusuke and I are pretty similar. Not as heavy as he is
-we have things that we can’t forgive people for. That’s why we’re doing this thieving
-M, don’t forget me
-R, I know. We’re all comrades
-is there something you can’t forgive, Makoto? Someone’s heart you want to change?
-Ma, it’s a secret
-R, are you sure? You can just tell us. We’re friends, after all
-Ma, anyway, aren’t you guys going to study for the test
-R, uhh
-Ma, so I get to go home
-R, oh, no, please teach me
At table
-Ma, uh what is this vocab. Phobia is….
Anne talks about claustrophobia
Ryuji complains about studying
Later on again
News showing Akechi talking about Kaneshiro incident. He says, based off calling cards, it’s definitely the thieves. But the question is: what did they do? If they were messing with peoples’ hearts, it’s a problem
Ryuji mocks the whole thing
Yusuke reacted to them going to a buffet
Anne suggests going to a fireworks festival
-R, oh yeah you’re right, it’s that season
-Ma, it would be a good idea, wouldn’t it
-Y, hard to let go of the buffet, but I’ll take hold of the beauty of summer
-however, give me food during the party
-M, yukata?
-R, fireworks festival will be a good idea. You think so too right
1 good idea
-it’s decided
-Ma, you’d better study before that. I won’t accept you getting poor marks
-R, ugh
Futaba’s room, she’s spying on them
Everyone leaves

Girls come up to Yusuke. They ask if they’re going to fireworks festival
-R, yo, we’re getting picked up
-girl, let’s go~
-other girl, could you be a model? It looks so good on you
-R, waiting is so rough. We can go with these girls, right
1 don’t ask me 2 no 3 let me think
-Y, we can’t go with you
The girls leave
Anne and Makoto arrive
-Ma, so Ryuji, you like those kind of women huh
-R, uhh
-A, Yusuke, you’re so handsome. But you ruin it with what you say
-Ma, well, there are people that like the fact that he is true to himself
-more than someone else
-M, that means you fail Ryuji
-Ma, I see
-R, Mona, damnit
-A, anyway we have to hurry or it’ll be crowded
-Y, you’re right
Ryuji tries to compliment Anne and Makoto in their yukata but they already walked away
Fireworks festival—they can’t see behind the building; it starts raining
Across the street, Haru gets into a limo
In the store now
Makoto knows that girl
-A, you mean the girl in the black car
-R, the car came for her?
-Mona, it’s your time. Become a car
-M, I can’t do it in reality
-A, my legs hurt. It’s cold. The fireworks were canceled. This is terrible
(penguin in the background above MC’s head says instant cool!!!)
Back at the café, Sae is there
-Sae, so you won’t tell me at all
-So, I have nothing to say to you
-Sae, if that’s the case, then I have an idea myself
-So, so what do you mean by that
-Sae, thank you for the coffee
-So, hey we haven’t finished talking
1 what’s going on
-nothing at all
-I’m closing up shop. Time to clean up
Futaba in her room, listening to the news: international hacking group Megido has issued a message to the thief group in Japan
Back in the café, news continues, this message was posted to the Megido home page in English: “to the thieves causing a ruckus in Japan, stop talking about your fake justice. We don’t stand for it. We’re the enforcers of true justice. However, we are kind. We’ll give a chance to the thieves to have a change of heart. If you have a change of heart, you’re welcome to join us. If you decline, you’ll face the wrath of justice. …” they ask for Goro’s opinion.
-So, what’s this about
1 the thief group
-whatever
-I’m going home now
Later on

People talking about hacker group
Test results—did pretty well

School
Hallway with Ryuji and Yuki
Ryuji asks how they did on the tests
Yuki says a long time ago the hacker group used to be good guys. Now they’re terrorists who are selfish, go after their own agenda. He says that he’ll cheer on the thieves—new fight, bring it on.
Text from group—R, Mishima didn’t get any information. How about you guys
-Ma, I asked my sister but she’s not really knowledgeable about it
-cyber crimes are not her specialty
-A, I looked into it but no good
-there were basically no leads
-Y, our opponents are too hidden
After, R, we got totaled
-M, pun joke in Japanese (megiedo—gi endo, as in the end, it’s a joke, haha)
In class
Kawakami says that everyone has to come to school on a certain day during summer vacation
Text from group—asking how to find the hackers. Can’t really, there’s no way.

She seems to be scheming

After school
Text from Ryuji—hang out?
Text from Anne—hang out?
Go to mementos
Get to the end, it’s a girl. She turns into a bloody teddy bear. Morgana asks if it’s a cat.

Boys talking about the thieves versus Megido

Class
Lunch time
-M, your phone’s ringing
A lot of messages from an unknown account
-Ali, nice to meet you
-my name is Ali Baba
-I have one question for you
-are you a thief
-can you really steal hearts
-M, who is this? How did they know we’re thief
-is it a joke from our friends
-Ali, there’s a heart I want you to steal
-it won’t be free of course
-let’s make a deal
-you want to know about megido, right?
-if you can make this change of heart happen, I’ll give you info about them
-and if you want, I can take care of them
-you don’t believe in my skills?
-I can find accounts like this
-this is about as much as I can show as proof
-but I have enough tools ready here
-I’m looking forward to this
-M, should probably respond
How should I respond
1 who are you 2 you have the wrong person 3 is this a prank
An error message. couldn’t find the account
-M, can’t reply?
-not sure what’s going on but we should let everyone know

After school
MC shows the messages
-R, did we get found out?
-Ma, looks like it
-Y, how did they find out
-Ma, they probably figured it out from our chat logs
-Y, we screwed up
-but could they really get this detail from that? so you’re saying there’s something else
-Ma, I’m not quite sure but I have that feeling
-A, can you see someone else’s chat log easily?
-Ma, I’m not that informed about it. But it’s not impossible, right?
-R, how
-Ma, by taking the phone’s data
-A, what’s the meaning of getting an error when you reply to them
-Ma, that would mean the person you’re sending it to doesn’t exist
-R, they can do that?
-Ma, don’t ask me everything. I don’t really know much about this
-Y, perhaps this is what they call a hacking
-R, which means this person’s a hacker
-M, I don’t understand hi-tech. boil it down for me
-A, an unknown hacker contacted us
-M, I see. I don’t understand
-Y, does this mean this person is Megido?
-Ma, it’s different I think. They said they would take care of it
-Y, doesn’t mean we take them at their word
-R, would it be good if we made this person one of our allies
-Ma, we don’t know who they are or anything about them. We can’t trust them
-R, I don’t think it’s a bad deal though
-Y, what if Ali Baba was a villain? I don’t want to lend my help to them
-R, oh that’s true, that’s no good
-M, I have gathered the necessary tools… I don’t understand
-A, maybe this is just a prank
-Ma, they knew a little too much for it to be a prank
-A, if they know who we are, then won’t we get caught
-Ma, no, if they wanted to call the police they would have done it already
-Y, they have some objective they want to complete. That’s why they came to us with a deal
-they’ll contact us
-Ma, we just don’t know when that call will come
-just in case we need to move quickly, let’s stick together today
-A, you’re right
-a place where we can all hide for a long time
-Ma, how about Leblanc

Evening
-So, ….
-oh, why are you guys all together
-A, good evening
-we were just thinking of coming up with a plan for summer vacation
-So, ah, this is the first time I’ve seen that lady
-Ma, nice to meet you, my name is Niijima Makoto. Sorry for intruding
-R, she’s our student council president
-So, Niijima?
-Ma, something wrong?
-So, oh it’s nothing
-I was just surprised you were student council. Please take care of this guys
-I’m Sakura Sojiro. You can call me master
-this is for you
-gonna go home now
-take care of the store
At the table, news comes on TV about Megido. The group put on their website that they beat the thieves.
-R, it’s in English
-A, let me see…
-“the thieves have been silent in regards to our question. This proves that our justice has won”
-R, huh, that’s messed up
-A, “that punishment is forfeiture of all your assets.”
-Ma, so what they’re saying is they’re targeting thief sympathizers
-Y, stealing their assets
-Ma, the bank or their personal information… whatever it is, it’s something they won’t be happy about
-R, why are we the targets of this
-Ma, probably because they want to make the thieves look bad, right
-if the thieves don’t exist, this thing won’t happen
-R, gotta be kidding me
-M, we’ve been targeted by a problematic bunch
-A, we just have to leave them as is
-Y, there’s nothing we can do
-R, hey what’s this letter
-anything more problematic than this, I don’t want it
-M, it’s pretty rare to see something addressed to you
Open letter
-M, a calling card?
-A, anything else?
-who did this come from
-Ma, there’s no stamp on it. Someone brought it here directly
-Y, could it be Ali Baba
-M, now that I think about it, there was something about necessary tools
-could it be this
-R, man, what’s going on
-Ma, all we can do now is wait for Ali Baba’s orders
-we’ll have to be on standby, be alert, in case anything happens
Everyone leaves
In room

-once again I am Ali Baba
-the leader of the thieves right?
3 what’s your name
-It’s Ali Baba
-have you received my calling card
-M, I knew it. It was this person
-Ali, are you at school right now
1 I’m in class
-you’re pretty studious aren’t you
-so I’ve prepared a calling card
-are you going to steal it?
2 from who
-do you mean who?
-you mean you can steal, just because you have a calling card
-M, tell her
-need the target’s name
2 what’s the name of the target
-Ali, do you absolutely need that info? Is it impossible without it
1 it’s impossible
-I see
-as I recall I wrote it on the calling card
-wait
-understood, I’ll tell you
-….
-Sakura Futaba. That’s the name
-if you don’t do this, I’ll put your name out into the world and report you to the police
-I’m counting on you
2 who’s Sakura Futaba
Error message comes up
-M, she was just blackmailing us and cut the line
-but, Sakura? I feel like I’ve heard this somewhere
-anyway, let’s report to everyone

After school
At hideout
-R, if we don’t do it, they’ll report us. This is really bad
-A, Sakura Futaba
-Ma, Sakura is
-that’s the master’s family name
-Y, does the master have family
-M, did he?
-R, what’s going on? I don’t understand
-Y, normally, they’d greet you or something. They probably have their own situations
-Ma, the calling card was sent to the master’s café. So they have a relationship
-that’s probably why Ali Baba didn’t say which Sakura Futaba
-they probably thought just the name was enough
-M, I see, so that’s it
-Ma, it makes sense if it’s the work of someone who’s close
-A, I see
-Ma, I don’t know how Ali Baba got ahold of their account
-I don’t think she’s just joking from the way she ordered us
-R, do you think this is a prank
-Ma, the demands are…
-“if you don’t want your identity leaked, pay us,” I would understand that
-but they told us to “steal a heart” without saying the reasons
-Y, are they testing us
-Ma, we should ask the master about Sakura Futaba
-M, that’s a good idea
-it’s all we can do right now. The master might have an idea of what we’re talking about
-Ma, I’ll check the school student list just in case
-Y, proceed carefully. We don’t want the master to find out our secret

Evening
-So, hm? What’s wrong
1 who is Sakura Futaba 2 introduce me to Sakura Futaba
-how do you know
-…..
-you have nothing to do with it
-I’m going home. Close up the shop
He leaves
-M, this is bingo
Room
Text from group—A, oh yeah
-MC, have you heard anything from the master
1 doesn’t look like he wants to talk
-Y, so there must be a situation
-Ma, it might be the only chance we have for Ali Baba to defeat Megido
-I want more information
-A, if we ask, it’ll have the opposite effect
-Y, master is taking care of MC
-I don’t want their relationship to get worse because of this
-R, I totally understand that!
-Ma, might be better to wait until the master is ready to talk to us
Go to bed

Friday, July 22
Otw
Ryuji finds us. Summer vacation starting soon
-R, maybe the people in the local neighborhood know if Futaba is related to the master
-M, you’re sure putting thought into this. Surprising. Should use that for the tests
-R, shut up, don’t talk about the tests
-asking around the neighborhood might be the fastest way
-may not be too lucky

School
Nothing of note

After school
Go to neighborhood
Ask people if they know anything
Guy right at the entrance recalls Futaba as the first teacher he fell in love with in elementary school…
No one is helpful

Evening
Sojiro and Sae
-Sae, you read the letter right
-So, it was you, wasn’t it, that told them about Futaba
-you shouldn’t have done that. I have no intention of talking about Futaba
-Sae, told them? What are you talking about
-anyway
-so will stopping your parental rights be ok
-So, what?
-Sae, the condition of your household and the current status of your daughter—there’s no good point for you
-you want to go to family court? There’s a 99.9% chance we will win
-there’s suspicions of abuse. You won’t be able to stop us from removing your parental rights
-So, you’re going to go that far? I don’t know anything about that
-Sae, we’re very serious
-mental state…something about Futaba’s mental health
-So, tch
-I give up
-Sae, then I’ll contact you another day
-So, you probably won’t get anything
-Sae, I don’t mind. whether it’s useful or not is for me to decide
-next time I’ll come here to drink delicious coffee
Sae leaves
-What’s with that look? Something you want to say
-you have nothing to do with this
3 is Futaba your daughter
-cut it out
-if you don’t want to get thrown out, just go to school
-understand?
-close up shop
-M, there’s definitely a kid named Futaba. She might have had terrible things done to her
-that and Ali Baba has to do with Leblanc, it’s pretty good
-didn’t she say something about recognition, acknowledgement
-the master’s background interests me
-however he said we’d get thrown out, so we can’t go forward
Room
Go to bed

Saturday, July 23
At hideout, after school
-Ma, the master was being intimidated by a woman?
-M, she acted high and mighty, saying abuse and court
-R, what’s wrong
-Ma, oh nothing
-Futaba is the master’s child and she may have been abused
-I don’t know him really well but is the master that kind of person
1 I don’t think he is
-I like to believe that too, but we’re not certain
MC’s phone
-Ma, is it from Ali Baba
-Ali, I’ve given you the calling card and told you the name. preparations should be complete
-why haven’t you done it
-if you stole their heart, I’d help you. Didn’t I say that. is there something you’re not happy with
-I told you that I’d reveal who you are and report you
-is that ok? I’m serious
-Y, they sure are a selfish person
-Ma, because they have our weakness?
-R, does this Futaba even have a palace? We don’t have a keyword. Nothing we can do
-tell that to her
1 does she have a palace
-palace?
-what about a palace? You didn’t say anything about that
-are you just trying to confuse me
-A, what do we do about this
-M, if we can meet them, we could find out who Ali Baba is
1 I’d like to meet and talk
-meet with me?
-that’s difficult
-there’s a reason I can’t leave
-I can’t leave so that’s why I’m contacting you like this
-M, can’t leave?
-wait, is that it
-meeting with the person you’re stealing from is difficult
-very difficult
-wait
-let me think
-unfortunately, our deal is off. Don’t look into Sakura Futaba anymore
-forget about this incident. I won’t report you
-sorry for taking your time
2 who are you
-I said it was off!
-I won’t talk to you anymore. I won’t say anymore
2 what’s this all of a sudden
Error message
-A, she just shut it down
-M, I don’t understand
-Ali Baba can’t go outside and we can’t meet Futaba
-R, we don’t have anything to do with this anymore. Can’t contact them
-A, but what should we do about Megido? Our deal’s off
-R, about Megido. Maybe it’s their prank
-considering how big they publicized, they haven’t moved. Maybe they’re scared of our power
-M, maybe they stopped because they’re scared of having their hearts changed
-Ma, but
-R, well Ali Baba and Megido disappeared. It’s one case closed, isn’t it
-Ma, yeah
-you’re right. We could probably relax a little bit
-R, oh yeah about Kane’s treasure
-listen and be surprised
-yen!
-A, that’s amazing. We can really have a big party
-R, we can have a big party we couldn’t have during fireworks festival
-we made our world debut too. Let’s go eat something
-A, what place is good
-R, I want sushi, unagi
-M, I’d welcome sushi. Is it ok with you MC
1 yeah
-it’s decided
-R, let’s go somewhere tomorrow

Evening
Text from group—Ma, was Megido really a prank
-thinking about it now, it’s strange that they didn’t have other movements
-if they were really hunting us now
-A, when you put it that way, I’m concerned
-they really taunted us like crazy
-Y, but we don’t have any plans to deal with them
-we just have to keep our eyes out as we enjoy our sushi
Go to bed

Sunday, July 24
Office
-G, you look busy, Sae san. Swamped with a lot of things
-Sae, thanks to the thieves taking care of Kane, my standing has been crushed
-that eternally silent Megido has declared war
-how far are they going to drag me around
-G, building up stress like that is bad for your skin
-Sae, did you just come to taunt me
-G, how about for a change of pace, listen to my supposition
-the incidents you’re after and the actions of the thieves, a lot of overlap
-Sae, what basis do you have for that
-G, the sudden change of heart, all the instances share
-Sae, I figured that out too. But that’s not evidence
-G, I did say it was my supposition
-the thieves pretending to play justice is cover for the people going crazy—terrorist acts, those
-maybe that’s too much of a leap
-Sae, have you talked to the police about it
-G, there’s no way I’d say it
To get her job done, Sae won’t hesitate to use any means necessary. Tells Goro to be thorough

Daytime
Sushi at Ginza
-Ma, would master actually abuse someone? Concerned
-what kind of person is he? Do you think he’d abuse
2 not that kind of person
-R, if the abuse is true, then your guardian is one evil person
Ehhh

Evening
Goro finds them at the station
-G, Niijima san, what are you doing here
-Ma, Akechi kun?
-R, Akechi?
-G, ah we met at the TV station. are you Niijima san’s friends
-Y, is he an acquaintance
-G, nice to meet you
-I’m Akechi. Nice to meet you Kitagawa Yusuke
-Y, how do you know my name
-G, because I have superpowers
-which would be a lie. I’m a novice detective. You were a student of Madarame, right
-I’m going to be added to the team investigating the thieves
-you saw that Megido claimed all out war with the thieves right
-R, all out war?
-G, the homepage was just updated a little while ago
-R, are you serious
-English…
-A, this…
-R, what’s written there
-G, you guys seem panicked
-A, ehm
-R, she’s a real big fan of the thieves. Totally into it
-G, you should stop being a fan of those guys
-Ma, what’s the meaning of this
-G, you are interesting friends
-Detective Niijima’s little sister, Madarame’s pupil and students of Syujin academy
-you guys look like you have connection to the thieves. Maybe you have better info than I do
-oh right, something I wanted to ask
-about this Megido incident. If you were a member of the thieves, what would you do
1 counter attack 2 leave them alone 3 not interested
-R, sorry for not meeting your expectations. We’re just normal high school kids
-we’d like to hear what you have to say Mr Detective
-G, based on the profiling of the thieves. I believe they’re underage kids
-they’re relatively free to act after school and they have a base to hide
-also, their activities started in April with Kamoshida
-the thieves have points that line up with you
-R, you wanna try reporting us to the police?
-G, I didn’t say I suspected you
3 that’s good then
-you don’t waver do you
-you are really interesting
-that cool, collective manner is something I don’t have. But don’t you think my theory is interesting?
-if we join forces, we’d be a good team. Heh, just kidding
-R, what are you saying all of a sudden
-G, let me hear about you next time. You seem like you’d have a lot of interesting information
-in exchange, I’ll tell you more of these theories
-I don’t think it’s a bad idea
Rank 2 bond with Goro
-that was quite enlightening. I’ll see you later
Goro leaves
-A, what was that all about
-Y, could it be that we’ve been found out
-R, no that can’t be the case
-Ma, I think might be thinking too much, but we should be more on alert
-Ali Baba actually found out about us, so
-Y, even if they say they found out, it’s not like they have proof
-we can go about it as normal
-A, anyway, about Megido, it’s gotten out of hand
-R, oh yeah, what did they write
-A, I’ll read it
-“we’ve lost respect in the people of Japan. They still believe in the fake justice of the thieves”
-“our plan to purify Japan is going forward. X day August 21st”
-“with this, a disastrous attack on Japan’s economy will happen”
-R, you serious?
-Ma, please continue
-A, “but we are benevolent. We’ll give the thieves one last chance to change their minds”
-“as proof of the thieves’ change of heart, we’re looking for their identity to leak to the public”
Need Futaba’s help or Ali Baba’s. go try again at Leblanc
-Y, Ali Baba misunderstood and cut off contact, right
-M, but we don’t know the keyword
-R, Goddamnit Ali Baba, where are you
-Ma, maybe they’re really close
-R, huh
-Ma, if for example we stole Futaba’s heart
-how would Ali Baba confirm that they had a change of heart?
-would they talk to her through cell phone?
-M, they wouldn’t meet directly, right
-Ma, Ali Baba can deliver the calling card here and can check on Futaba’s condition
-but because of circumstances can’t meet us
-if they’re seen meeting us, then that would be bad
-maybe
-maybe the identity of Ali Baba is Futaba herself living in master’s home
-R, you serious?
-Y, then she asked us to steal her own heart?
-A, to steal the heart of a person that’s been abused? That’s not something many people can say
-Ma, I’d like to meet the master. He lives nearby right
1 yeah
-R, I agree too but it’s really late. What should we say
-Ma, through sushi, we can say it’s a gift
-M, my otoro…
-A, don’t complain
-Ma, let’s all go together
-if just us two go, he’d ask what kind of relationship we have
At Sakura’s house
-Ma, not answering?
-but the lights are on
-R, maybe he fell asleep
-A, with how much we’ve rung, he should wake up
-M, if Futaba’s in there, would be nice if she came out
-Y, the gate’s unlocked
-R, you shouldn’t open it like that, man
-Ma, but look, the inside gate is open just a little bit
-I wonder why. This seems a little strange
-M, it looks like rain. Let’s get inside
-Ma, is it ok
-R, will probably be ok
-Ma, sorry Sakura
Inside the house
-Ma, I’m sorry! Anyone here
-doesn’t look like anyone’s home
-the door was open and I can hear the TV
-R, could he have passed out? Sojiro’s kind of old isn’t he
-A, I’m a little concerned. Let’s go take a look
-Ma, sorry for intruding
Down the hall
-Ma, that was a scream. What was that?
-M, I don’t know
-Ma, did you hear that
-A, let’s just leave. Let’s go home
-R, what are you so scared for
-A, I’m not scared
-M, maybe it’s Ali Baba? Futaba?
-Ma, sorry, could I hold onto you?
Ok
-Y, I can sense someone here
-Ma, who
-who?
-I can’t take this anymore! I want to leave
-my legs gave out, no way
Futaba scares Makoto
-A, Ali Baba! Futaba!
-hey, where are you
-if you can really hack, then come out
-Ma, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, sister, help me (lmao)
-So, are you ok Futaba?
-R, crap, he’s back
!
Sojiro enters
-who are you, don’t move
-if you move one more step
Flashlight
-Ma, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, Sae, help me
…
-So, why are you in my house without permission
-you’re…
-Ma, good evening…sorry for intruding
-So, Niijima san
-are you two dating?
-Ma, we’re friends
-So, do high school friends these days grab each other like that
-Ma, not at all, there was a lot going on
-So, you guys
-A, we brought sushi as a gift. We rang the doorbell and you didn’t come out. The door was open
-the TV was on and we thought you had fallen over, gotten hurt
-So, the door was open?
-A, yes
-So, I guess I sometimes do that. I am old now
-Ma, sorry, there’s something I wanted to ask you
-So, me?
-Ma, there’s someone here right
-So, yeah
-my daughter
-Ma, would it be Sakura Futaba
-So, you told Niijima too
-do you think we could meet Futaba?
-I probably scared her earlier and wanted to apologize
-So, about that
-Ma, is she sick or something
-So, it’s not that
-ah, I don’t want you to misunderstand
-I shouldn’t have hidden it from you and just told you about it
-she’ll hear us here so let’s go into the store
At the café
-So, where should I start
-Futaba’s mother was a friend of mine before Futaba was born
-she was a strange one but we hit it off
-she was smart, looked a little mean, and she was totally independent
-she was a good person
-Ma, I see
-So, when she really got into something, she’d lose sight of everything around her. she was so passionate about her job that she came in late every night
-I thought she changed when she had a kid, but when Futaba was born everything stayed the same
-even still she took care of Futaba
-A, child raising and work? Must have been rough
-So, however, raising a kid by herself
1 single mother? 2 what about her father?
-she didn’t have a father
-Y, then…
-So, I don’t know. She didn’t say anything to me
-she had Futaba by herself, raised her by herself
-yeah, she committed suicide
-A, suicide?
-So, she jumped in front of a car right in front of Futaba’s eyes
-Ma, such a shock from that
-R, that must have been hard
-So, that’s why
-anyway, there’s a lot that happened and I took her in
-at first she walled herself in and didn’t say a word to me
-A, it must have been because of the suicide, right
-So, as I talked to her, she started to open up
-then I finally understood
-she blamed herself for her mother’s death
-A, why did she say it was her fault
-So, she hasn’t told me
-I really wanted to know the situation, but I won’t prod old wounds
-so several months after that
-even though there was nothing happening, she suddenly got scared
-I can hear voices, I can see my mother
-Y, started hearing things and seeing things
-did you take her to a doctor
-So, Futaba absolutely rejected it. Even when they came to see her at home, she locked the door
-then she became a shut-in
-she won’t leave the house. She won’t look anyone in the face
-Y, what about you, master
-So, me too. She won’t let me into the room
-R, she’s really suffering
-So, Futaba’s a very special case
-she thinks quickly and when she talks she jumps all over the place
-she ends up finishing things herself. A lot of things I don’t understand
-Ma, so that’s what happened
-So, that’s why I can’t let you into the house. She doesn’t want to see anyone
2 that’s more than enough
-what Futaba needs is an environment where she can be safe, not scared of anything
-that’s why I won’t do anything that she hates
-I know that’s bad
-that’s all I can do
2 is that what you really want
-what I really want
-what I want is the same as any other. I want Futaba to be as happy as anyone else
-that’s basically it
-could you leave Futaba alone
-alright, thanks
-I should hurry home
Sojiro leaves
-Ma, we did something bad trying to jump in there
-R, there’s no way there was abuse
-A, the reason she wants us to steal her heart probably has to do with her mother
-Y, she wants to throw away the heart that’s suffering. That’s something she can’t do herself
-A, can we help her by changing her heart
-Y, if we can help her, we can deal with Megido
1 there’s a chance
-R, wait, does she even have a palace
-let’s take a look
-“Sakura Futaba living in Sakura Sojiro’s house”
-navi, destination found
-Y, this is..
-R, there
-A, palaces exist even if they’re not bad
-hey Morgana
-where’s Morgana
-Y, haven’t seen him since earlier
-Ma, did he enter the master’s house?
-R, seems like it. He should be fine. He’s a cat
-the last train’s almost here. Should call it a day
-Ma, school tomorrow too
-A, oh right, that emergency meeting
-Y, what’s that
-A, the Megido incidents, the thieves got popular, and Syujin’s the focus
-this is probably the same, don’t say anything on the internet
-R, we don’t have to gather for this. It’s a real pain in the ass
-A, it’s our fault huh
-Ma, alright, let’s call it a day
Futaba’s listening in
Morgana runs out
I don’t see Morgana. Where did he go?
Go to sleep
Morgana comes back
2 where did you go
Confirms that Futaba’s been spying on them

Present with Sae
-Sae, Sakura Futaba has a palace?
-so as you were being targeted by Megido, you dealt with someone else?
1 yes
-so then why did Megido…
-the situation with the Sakura household matches with the district attorney’s account
-you wouldn’t be lying. Of course
Rank 2 with Sae
-continue your story

Monday, July 25
Otw
Two boys talking
Gossip in the halls

Room
Morgana says that Futaba bugged Leblanc, but doesn’t know why
-Ma, she might be able to reveal who Megido is
-Y, we can only believe in her skills
-A, we’re sure that Futaba has a palace, but can people who aren’t bad guys have palaces
-M, it has nothing to do with if they’re a bad guy or not
-palaces are just the materialization of strong distorted desires. That’s all they are
-a lot of distorted people are bad guys, that’s all
-Ma, being young and so twisted—probably because of all the terrible things she’s experienced
-A, maybe that’s the reason she called herself Ali Baba
-M, from what the master said, Futaba hears and sees things
-probably has to do with an important memory
-it’s because of the distortions, she became strange
-R, anyway we have to steal her treasure right
-M, that’s right
-A, so then we can go after Futaba’s palace
-Ma, that’s what she wants of us. We don’t have to fret so much about it
-if we mend Futaba’s heart, it’ll help the master. And it’ll help us take out Megido
-Y, I agree
-R, I’m also concerned about what the master said about Futaba experiencing a lot of things
-M, wait you guys
-our palace excursion may not go the same
-R, why do you say that
-M, being asked by the person themselves to steal their own heart is a highly irregular case
-what kind of heart the owner of the palace has, or what kind of distortion they have, I can’t imagine
-the chances of something we don’t expect happening—it’s high. Are you willing to go anyway
1 let’s go
-understood. Just be careful
-R, so let’s look for a keyword
-Ma, the only things we know are Sakura Futaba and Sakura Sojiro’s house
-R, so we just have to think of what now
-Y, let’s go in front of the house
-A, master’s in the store right? Let’s be careful so he doesn’t think strange of us
Others go
-M, an important memory huh
-if I return to being human, I wonder if my memory will come back
3 yes
-definitely want to make this operation a success
-if we can return Futaba’s memories, I’m sure that mine will return eventually
-anyway, you don’t find many hackers nearby
-you definitely have it don’t you
1 who knows
-the only thing that’s certain is that I knew you had it
Rank 6 with Morgana—all infiltration tool recipes
-we got left behind! Let’s hurry and follow them

Sakura’s house
Outside
-Ma, palace keyword
-R, she’s a shut-in, so what would she think of the house as
-she doesn’t leave, so maybe prison
-Ma, she doesn’t know the exit so maybe labyrinth
-A, how about oasis
-Y, no good. How about the opposite, hell
-A, no clues…
-Y, it’d be easier to ask her
-R, so then let’s go
-Ma, what can we say so she’ll let us in
-R, sneak in
-Ma, are you serious
-I’m sure the door’s locked
-M, leave opening the door to me. this time we can’t avoid it
-thanks to my infiltration last night, I know where Futaba’s room is
-Ma, what happens if we run afoul of the master? We won’t be able to deflect it this time
-A, he’s in his shop so we’ll be ok won’t we
-R, are you getting scared again Makoto
-we’ve always made it out of something this easily
-Ma, this is all we can do huh
-Futaba has contacted MC, so
-if it’s MC, maybe she’ll talk to him
-understood—let’s go
Inside the house
-M, this is Futaba’s room
-Ma, Futaba chan? You’re there right
-M, no answer huh
-Ma, Futaba chan, are you in there
-I’m sorry about being scared and shouting yesterday. It was dark
-Y, no response
-R, a pain in the ass
-Ma, you’re listening aren’t you Ali Baba
Text
-Ali, why did you come
-M, why did she respond to Ali Baba
-Ma, you’re Sakura Futaba right
-Y, no response
-A, maybe she doesn’t like hearing her name
-M, we don’t have time to stand around. The keyword comes before coming out who Ali Baba is
-Ma, we want to know more about you, otherwise we won’t be able to steal your heart
-the reason we came here is because we need a keyword for the palace
-for that reason we need to talk to Sakura Futaba herself, not Ali Baba
-you don’t have to face us in person. Chat is fine, just answer us
-Ali, understood
-Ma, our leader is
-the guy that lives in the attic of Leblanc wants to talk to you
-we’re counting on you MC. Find out what the keyword is
-Ali, what do you want to ask
2 how do you see your house
-what do you mean
-what are you asking
1 how does your house feel
-suffocating
2 do you hate it
-I don’t hate it
-why
-I don’t know
1 why don’t you leave the house
-I can’t
-if I don’t leave, I’ll die here
-A, die?
-Ali, continuing?
3 why do you think so
-why?
-this is my tomb
-Ma, tomb?
-R, no way, could that be it
-M, enter grave
-navi, input accepted. Looking for a route to your destination
-M, there we go
-Ali, was that it
-Ma, more than enough
-if we complete your request, you’ll help us right
-Ali, understood. It’s a deal
-R, alright, let’s get going
-M, don’t press it here idiot
RIP Ryuji (Futaba was nearby, so she probably got sucked in)

Desert
-Y, it’s a desert
-R, huh. We’re in our clothes
-M, Futaba herself told us to steal. She doesn’t see us as enemies. We’re not viewed as enemies, so our clothes don’t change
-I told you to watch out! You shouldn’t press buttons all of a sudden
-R, is that why we got sent to a desert? Where’s the tomb. It’s hella hot here
-A, we went to the front of her room but we’re not inside
-it’s probably because she wants to keep other people far away
-A, I see
-Ma, this feels like the exact opposite of Kaneshiro’s bank
-R, let’s get going—where’s the palace
-M, over there
-R, ah, it’s shining
-Ma, ah, a tomb in the desert. I see
-anyway, let’s go over there
-A, isn’t it far
-R, gonna walk there?
-M, no way, we’ll roast
Morgana turns into the bus
-Y, I’ve been waiting for this
-M, I’m gonna turn on the AC
-A, so nice of you
-M, heh, yeah…
-R, alright, time to go
Otw to the pyramid
-A, so hot…
Anne beats up the boys
They approach the pyramid
-R, that AC didn’t work at all! What’s with that warm wind
-M, that’s my limit! Quit complaining
-R, that sure is half-assed
-M, you wanna fight
-A, shut up! it’s too hot. Don’t irritate me
-Ma, who would think the palace as a pyramid
-R, pyramids are tombs right
-Y, it’s a tomb for the king
-Ma, it’s famous for that, but there’s an explanation
-said to bring the dead back to life
-Y, bring the dead back to life hm
-it’s absolutely beautiful. This golden ratio—it’s perfect
-R, can we go in already
-I’m gonna melt
Control of MC again
-R, so hot, wahhh
-let’s go inside quickly
-Ma, this is Futaba’s palace. This is how she sees her house
-Y, we don’t know what awaits inside. Should we enter
1 ok
-A, I’m sure Futaba’s secrets will be inside
-Ma, yes, so let’s go inside
Inside
-R, whoa it’s cool in here. Do they have AC?
-Ma, it’s probably because the AC is working in Futaba’s room in reality. It sure helps
-A, but we entered in our clothes for a change. This is a first
-Y, it’s nice not being seen as enemies, but look around. There are walls everywhere
-M, it is a tomb. It’s not meant to be entered easily
Further in
-A, this goes really deep
-R, these stairs are long
-M, at least we’re not being attacked by enemies
-I can feel the presence of treasure. It’s somewhere in front of us. It’s close
-Ma, these stairs look like they go to the center of the pyramid
-the treasure might be there
-R, let’s do our best to climb them
Further in again, to Shadow Futaba
-M, someone’s here
-R, could you be…?
-Ma, this is Futaba’s shadow, not her
-R, oh that’s right. You know her face, Mona. And her outfit is queen-like
-Ma, you’re Sakura Futaba
-R, hey, where’s your treasure
-Ma, you should know where it is
-R, you’re not going to open your mouth
-A, watch what you’re saying
-I’m sorry, Futaba chan. It’s ok, you can relax
-please tell us. Where’s the thing that’s important to you
-Y, seems odd
-R, let’s leave her
-A, be quiet
-Shadow Futaba, those who disturb my tomb, what have you come to do
-A, she talked
-R, what are you saying? You want us to steal, right
-SF, if you think you can steal, then do it
-M, oh, she’s taunting us
-Y, is this what they call a tsundere
-SF, you won’t be able to steal it
-my palace has turned out like this
-Y, this voice
-Ma, killer?
-A, this is terrible
-R, hey what is this
-SF, yes, yes, I did it
-R, what
-SF, I killed my mother
Disturbance
-A, what was that just now
-SF, my mother is here too
-I’ll be here too until the day I die
Clothes change
-Ma, our clothes
-Y, she sees us as enemies now. What’s going on
Futaba’s room
-F, huh
-this again…
-that’s right, I killed my mother. I have no right to live
-this is my grave. I’ll die here
-no, help me!
Back in the pyramid
-R, shit, what’s going on
-Ma, this is bad. I don’t know what’s going on. let’s find a safe place to gather information
-A, what is it now
-M, oh no, run!
Door seals shut
Need to find another way around—let’s leave for now. Regroup.

News about X day 8/21 with Megido, gets closer and closer. No movements from the thieves they targeted. Will the Megido’s cyber terrorism happen?
-Ma, if we want to stop it, we need to help Futaba before the 21st
-our limit is two days before
-R, meeting at Shibuya and coming here is a pain in the ass right? Let’s make this our base for a while
1 sure
-Ma, so we can use this as a base?
-Y, we just have to be careful that we don’t get found out by the master
-M, we won’t we have any idea what will happen in the pyramid
-be careful so that it doesn’t become our grave, too
-R, ah, this is gonna be one hell of a summer vacation
-we’ll be fighting world-class hackers and looking for treasure in a pyramid
-A, why are you looking like you’re having so much fun? This is a threat to our very existence. You know that don’t you
-R, I know that
-M, that reminds me, when we were in the Morgana car, you were looking at me with those googly eyes. Damn pervert
-R, shut up! it was a nice view
-you saw it too right
-Y, yes, it was beautiful. That golden ratio of the pyramid
-R, that’s not what I’m talking about
-M, I didn’t see anything. I’m a gentleman

-let’s go in
Inside the gym
Ikeda is a friend of Ryuji’s, his senpai. Ikeda is still doing track and field in college. Ryuji was about to apologize for what happened with K, but Ikeda says no.
-I, I was the captain of the track and field team, but I was just doing whatever K wanted me to
-R, that’s because K was going to squash your recommendation right
-in the end he squashed me
-I, my recommendation could have vanished quickly
-besides, I’m having fun at my current college. It’s not very competitive but it’s nice
-that’s why I’m actually more grateful to  you
-I have regrets that I couldn’t protect you
-but listen, I heard the track and field team’s getting revived
-K confessed to everything, right
-so the school’s thinking of gathering all the track and field students back and reviving the team
-R, I didn’t hear about this
-I, I see…the rumors came all the way to me though
-anyway, Yamauichi-sensei’s going to be the new adviser
-R, Yamauichi?
-that Yamauichi?
-I, yeah, the Yamauichi that was K’s big supporter/right hand man
-he asked to do it and he was passionate about reviving the team
-R, him huh
-I, hey Sakamoto, if the team’s revived, you don’t have a reason to be on bad terms
-they need you. You should talk to them
Ikeda leaves
-R, track and field team reviving huh
-that’s good
-I’m honestly happy that they’re coming back. Nakamoto and the others can finally practice
-what I’m concerned about is the new adviser, Yamauichi. He’s a mini K
2 is he a bad guy
-he’s stingy. He messed with us but he was a suck-up to the teachers and parents
-him being the new track and field adviser? First off he’s the geography teacher
-this seems a little suspicious
-I’ll take a look into it
-might need your help on this
-if that happens, can I count on you

-sorry
She’s going to use MC to test new techniques in shogi

Present with Sae

-A, don’t say that
Group thinks Futaba’s heart is starting to weaken
That door
-R, can’t open. Some kind of mechanism somewhere?
-Ma, this door
-M, I recall seeing it somewhere
-Ma, Futaba’s room
-M, that’s it
-R, why won’t it open
-M, that’s because we see it as a place we can’t enter
-SF, you did well to make it this far yourselves
-what lies beyond is the king’s space
-R, then the treasure is beyond this door right
-SF, that’s right, however to open this, you need my permission
-R, then open it
-SF, I can’t open it. You have to be invited
-R, why’s this? It’s your palace
-Ma, what’s going on Mona
-M, Shadow is Futaba, but it’s not Futaba herself
-we need permission from Futaba in the real world
-A, so we have to get Futaba to open the door and let us in right
-SF, if you made it this far, you may be able to do it
-A, we have to go back to reality
-Ma, but Sojiro said she wouldn’t let anyone in
-R, she’s a serious shut-in
-Y, how can we get her to let us in
-Ma, nothing will start if we think about it. Just have to do it
-that’s what she wants
-A, even if we have to be forceful, we should do it
-R, you guys are revved up
-Y, so we have to sneak in
-A, Joker, I’ll let you decide when we do this

-T, but you became a parliament member again. You became something
-g, you have too. You worked hard and studied more than anyone who has a badge
-T, you don’t have to needlessly praise me because we’re in front of children

-if you want to win an election, you should put some thought into it
-T, what do you mean
-g, you don’t realize it yourself do you

-A, that’s it?
-Ma, Futaba does want us to steal her heart
-enough that she mustered up the courage to contact us
-I’m sure she’ll open the door
-A, yeah you’re right
-if we talk to her, I’m sure she’ll understand
-R, alright, let’s believe in Futaba and go do it
Futaba’s room
-F, a big eye? What’s this
-when did this get here
Shadow Futaba appears
-SF, I am another you
-F, is this a vision? Am I seeing things? This is a little different than normal
-SF, how long are you going to keep blaming yourself and being a shut-in
-F, my fault?
-SF, your mother’s death
-what happened in front of your eyes that day
-and what happened then
-you’re able to grasp it now
-F, grasp it?
-SF, the reason why you’re relying on the thieves
-F, that’s…
-SF, are you just going to stay as a shut-in and do nothing?
-are you going to wait, ignoring what happened?
-then if that’s the case, I’ll kill them in your world
-F, what should I do
In the hall
-Ma, so sorry for infiltrating so many times, Sojiro
-M, no doubt about it. Same as the gate in the palace
-Ma, hey Futaba, you’re in there right? Please respond
-M, I don’t think there will be a response
-Ma, Ali Baba, you in there? I don’t mind if it’s chat. Please respond
-Ali, if you’re coming, say so sooner
-Ma, if you want us to steal your heart, you need to open this door for us
-if you don’t, we can’t do the change of heart. Please let us in
-Ali, not ready for this!
2 can’t you get ready now
-it’s too soon
-Ma, the other person inside of you said you have to open for us
-you want to open the door for us don’t you
-Ali, my other self?
-Ma, yes
-we’re trying to keep our promise to you. But the one keeping us from doing it is you
-Ali, give me a little time
-Ma, 10 seconds
-Ali, too short
-three minutes please
-Ma, ok, if master comes, we’re kicking the door down
Time passes
-it’s time, Ali Baba
-Ali, understood. Opening now
Futaba opens the door slightly
-R, ok let’s go in
In Futaba’s room
-Y, what’s going on here
-Ma, medical science, information technology, biology, psychology…all of these are specialized books
-A, she’s been in this room the entire time?
-Y, where’s Futaba
-R, hiding somewhere
Closet
-A, in the closet?
-Y, so she’s going to be a shut-in still
-M, even if we open the door, we’ll still have something stopping us
-a fence in front of the treasure
-F, I don’t understand what’s going on. explain to me!
-R, oh she talked
-Ma, we have to change the way you view things. If we don’t, we can’t steal from you
-Y, even if we explained it to you, I don’t think you’d understand
-F, so you’re saying how I see things is an obstacle, so you can’t go to the core of the world
-A, you understand?
-Ma, how do you know? What are you?
-R, why did you call yourself Ali Baba and do this complicated thing
-if you wanted help, you could have just said it
Futaba mumbles something
-sorry, didn’t hear you
-F, it’s because I was embarrassed
-A, I understand how she feels
-saying that I need help is something you can’t do easily
-Ma, Futaba can you tell us how you know about the other world
-F, I knew about it
-A, oh yeah, that reminds me. Sojiro mentioned something about perception
-Ma, could it be that your mother was researching cognitive sciences?
-F, it’s not “science”
-Ma, cognitive… Futaba, what was your mother doing?
-please tell us. What happened?
-Y, no response
-R, we should probably stop here. She’s been through a lot
-Ma, that’s right. She said she wanted death
-A, wait
-Futaba chan, did you really kill your mother
-R, hey, you fool, stop that
-A, so your mother didn’t die in an accident? What do you mean?
-did she have a breakdown raising you? Was that true?
-Y, Anne…
-A, we’ve seen your heart but I don’t understand
-what we saw was different from the mother Sojiro talked about
-I want to hear the truth from your mouth
-F, mother…
-the one that killed her
-Ma, it might be that her heart’s twisted, so she can’t remember
-A, I’m sorry Futaba chan
-there’s been a lot for me. I’m sorry
Futaba comes out
-F, now steal it!
-R, what’s going on all of a sudden
-F, hurry up and do it!
-Ma, we came to steal your heart but not at this exact moment
-if you let us in, then it’s fine
-sorry for rushing you like this. But you don’t have to do something like that
-F, I see
Futaba goes back in
-A, she went back in!
-F, what are you guys doing? Did you trick me?
-Ma, listen, that’s not it! We needed to do this
-M, she knows about the cognitive world but she doesn’t understand how we change hearts
-Ma, please tell us Futaba, how much do you know about the cognitive world?
-F, I know that there’s another world based on perception but I don’t know how to go there
-can you guys go? You said that you’d steal my heart
-Ma, yes we can
-F, how do you do it
-Ma, we’re using a smartphone app
-F, an app?
-Ma, if we enter the information, we can go to the cognitive world
-R, yeah the person, the name, the place and the distortion
-“Sakura Futaba” “Sakura Sojiro’s house” and
-Ma, could it be that you have this app
-F, this
-I don’t have it
-Ma, oh thank goodness. Then it’s fine
-F, can you take me there
2 what should we do
-R, we can’t do that
-F, then I leave it to you
-R, yeah, don’t forget your promise
Others leave
-oh yeah, almost forgot
-if you don’t read this, the treasure won’t appear
Ryuji slips the calling card through the door
-F, huh, a calling card
-R, it’s the one we prepared. Read it
-F, it’s dark so I can’t read it
-R, you could come out can’t you
-F, it’s embarrassing
-R, oh geez
-M, I’ll make sure she does it. You guys go ahead
-Ma, Futaba, make sure you absolutely read it
-F, understood
Everyone else leaves; Futaba comes out
-let’s see…
She reads the card
-Sakura Futaba, you’ve committed a grave crime
-as a result, we will steal that distorted desire
Shadow Futaba appears, 99%
Morgana comes up and scares Futaba again
-ohh, it’s you again, kitty!

Screech in the distance
-Y, something’s here
-R, this timing. I’ve got a bad feeling about this
The roof opens up
-Ma, a shadow? Whose is it
-Y, it’s not Futaba’s
-A, this is too big
-R, if it’s not a shadow, what is it
MC saves Makoto from the collapsing pillar
Mother Sphinx boss battle
-MS, do not get near the tomb of the king
-only disaster will befall us
-M, she’s flying. We can’t reach her
-the best thing we can do is take her out with guns and skills
Seems like she’s too powerful
Back in the pyramid
-F, this is my heart
-this is?!
-SF, do you remember now
-F, this was my mother’s will
-after she died, the adults in black clothes read it to me
-SF, right, look at the next one
-F, this is
-this is when my mother jumped in front of a car in front of my eyes
-SF, then the next one
-F, no
-SF, don’t run
-you talked with the thieves, right? You vowed you would
-F, I’ll look
-I was being a little selfish and bothering my mother. She got mad
-SF, that’s right
-F, so I did kill my mother
-because I was a bad child, my mother hated me
-it’s just as I remember
-SF, do you really think so
-F, what?
-SF, remember—don’t look away
-when did this happen?
-F, a little before my mother died
-when I screamed that I wanted to go on a vacation
-she said no and got mad
-SF, how about the others, was that it
-F, mother said
-I’m busy right now. I have to finish my research
-SF, and what did you do
-F, just complained to her. “that research is more important than me”
-then she got mad
-SF, what was said after
-F, mother said this
-“my research is almost over. When it’s over, I’ll take you anywhere you like”
-“Futaba, I’m so sorry for leaving you alone. But this research is very important. Please understand”
-“I have to finish this research even if it costs me my life”
-SF, were you really hated
-F, I wasn’t…?
The picture glows
-what? Smiling?
-my head, it’s splitting
-what’s the truth?
-SF, your memories
-it’s calling
Futaba runs outside where the battle is
-R, what the hell is this thing? We’re no match for it
-Ma, Futaba?
-you entered too
-F, yeah
-M, they entered their own palace? That means
-F, that’s…
-man, you killed her
-other man, don’t stay quiet, say something
-someone else, it was your fault!
-F, it was my fault
-it was my fault, mother
-Sphinx, right
-you killed me
-Y, impossible, that monster is her mother?
-M, her desires and guilt changed her perception
-the hopes that your mother would come back to life and that screeching all together
-Sphinx, you’re going to get in my way again, demon child. If you didn’t exist…
-I wouldn’t have had to waste my time and I could have presented my results
-the find of the century that I poured my blood and sweat into
-Ma, the find of a century?
-M, the cognitive studies
-Sphinx, you should die
-there’s no reason for you to live. You’re not needed by anyone
-F, no one cares about me
-voice, it would have been better if Futaba wasn’t born
-other voice, your mother was concerned
-she had a parental breakdown
-R, hey, if this keeps up, it’s gonna be bad
-Ma, the feelings that Futaba had that she killed her mother—they’ve manifested into the palace where her mother wishes for Futaba’s death
-A, Futaba, take a close look
-that monster isn’t your mother
-that’s just an illusion you created
-F, but…
-Ma, she didn’t abuse you
-Sojiro said it. Your mother worked her hardest to raise you by herself
-Y, aren’t you mixing the wrong memories
-F, the wrong memories
-voice, your mother abandoned the fruits of her research for you Futaba
-even though she worked so hard to research
-she went crazy because of you
-F, mom, I…
-M, her shadow
-SF, Sakura Futaba, remember
-you’re the reason she committed suicide. You got in the way of her research
-why do you think she committed suicide
-F, in her will
-SF, right
-what was written in the will that those men in black showed you
-F, hate toward me
-SF, you were in pain and shock and you looked away
-but what those men in black read in front of your relatives—think about it, was that really her will
-do you think the mother you loved so much wrote that
-even though she never once said a horrible thing to you
-F, she didn’t
-even when I was selfish, she was kind to me even though she was mad
-SF, then what about that will
-F, an absolute fake
-SF, you were used
-they faked that will, used her death and trampled on the heart of a young child
-rage! Be angry. Don’t forgive those trash adults
-F, it’s because I couldn’t face my mother’s death head-on
-why did I have to say all that
Back on the battlefield
-A, Futaba chan?
-voice, what has put you down all this time was an illusion
-a curse from the heartless
-you knew all along but you were scared
-F, I knew but I…
-voice, are you going to die like she says you should
-which are you going to follow
-an illusion that’s just spitting out words that curse you? Or your own soul
-Sphinx, it’s all your fault!
-F, I won’t be deceived by your twisted face anymore
-I won’t be confused by the voices of others
-I’ll believe what I see in my heart. I’ll see the truth
-there’s no way you’re my mother. You’re a fake that was created by rotten adults
Futaba awakens to her persona, Necronomicon (the book of the dead)
The battle commences
Ballista appears
Defeat the Sphinx
Afterward
-R, that was awesome! You were seriously incredible!
-F, hey what is this?
-wow, it’s super tight
-R, it came out again
-F, mom?
-Mother, Futaba
-thank you for remembering the real me
-F, I’m sorry for being selfish
-mom
-Mother, you can’t
-your place isn’t here, you know
-F, we finally got to meet again though
-Mother, will you be selfish again?
-F, I love you, mom
-Mother, I love you too, Futaba
-now go
-F, ….
-Megido, was it
-Ma, where are you going
-F, I’m going home. I know how to use the navi
-Ma, huh? Oh
-A, she left
-Y, she does her own thing huh
-R, you’re one to talk
-Ma, but if we had her skill
-where’s the treasure
-R, oh I almost forgot about it
-A, it was empty?
Loud noise
-R, what’s going on? what is that?
-M, the treasure is Futaba herself
-Futaba left, so it’s not going to be here
-M, this is bad. Really bad
-Y, what’s going on
-M, she came into her own palace and awakened her persona
-this could all collapse at any minute
-Ma, if the palace disappears, we’ve completed our objective. Let’s get out of here
-Y, sounds like a good idea
Finally, that scene where they’re running down the pyramid like in that years-old trailer
Back at Yongenjaya
-R, is everyone alive
-A, I thought we were going to die. How long are you going to stick onto me
-oh I’m sorry
-Y, again…
-So, what was that sound just now
-what are you guys doing
-A, um
-R, oh yeah where’s Futaba
-So, something wrong with Futaba?
-A, umm
-Ma, we’ve come this far, so how about we have some tea
-A, yeah
-So, I don’t mind
-Y, I’m not thirsty though
-Ma, oh right I just remembered
-I had something to do, so go on ahead
-A, okay
-Ma, let’s go see Futaba
Outside of Sakura’s house
-Ma, Futaba
-can you hear us? Please respond
-come on, say something
-could it be our fault? We did defeat that monster that was your mother
-M, that was just a thing that Futaba created herself
-even if we defeated it, shouldn’t cause memory loss or problems with her body
-Ma, what should we do
-M, oh that’s right, you know a doctor
-Ma, really? Can you contact her
Futaba’s room
-Tae, it’s going to cost you for this home visit
-Ma, how much
-Tae, just kidding
-Ma, how is she?
-Tae, her pulse, breathing, body temp are fine. Her pupils are responding to light
-not sure the reason, but she’s feeling light exhaustion
-it’s just that this kid doesn’t have much muscle for someone her age. She must not have much energy
-Ma, I see. The backlash of the awakening was big
-M, too many irregular things piled on
-Ma, we can’t keep this a secret from Sojiro
-M, our secret won’t be found out right
-Ma, but we definitely have to tell him about her condition
1 let’s bring him here
-Ma, that’s a good idea
-yeah we should talk to him about it
-M, now that this happened, we can’t avoid it
-I’m sure you understand, but you have to keep this situation a secret
-So, hey, Futaba, hey
-oh man
-Ma, about Futaba
-So, what’s wrong? You look like you’re going to die
-A, it’s about Futaba’s condition
-So, oh this, it happens sometimes
-R, huh
-So, she’s used all of her energy. It’s like she’s out of batteries
-I guess it’s from the fact that she doesn’t move around very much
-R, oh geez what is that
-So, once she’s like this, she’ll stay this way for a couple of days
-in the meantime, she’ll sleep here. I’m going to close the store
Sojiro leaves
-Ma, what is this feeling
-A, I’m glad she’s ok but what should we do about Megido
-F, oh
-R, she’s awake
-F, Megido…
-I’m tired. Going to sleep a little bit
-R, she’s asleep again
-A, Futaba chan!
-just how long will she be asleep for
-I guess we can’t force her to wake up
-Ma, we can’t look for another hacker now
-M, just have to wait for her to wake up

She asks MC to help her understand what normal students do for fun to broaden her perspective. She asks where people go for fun—go to the game center.
At the arcade
-Ma, oh what’s that? so you point at the monitor with the gun? That’s realistic
1 do you want to try it
-if I could
-do you want to play with me?
After a while…Makoto is a talker when she plays; everyone looked at her because she was loud
-Ma, I know that was a game, but maybe we can use those techniques in a real battle

She asks MC to walk a little separate from her. a bunch of guys start talking to her
-Ma, did we lose him? he sure was annoying
-what is this nonsense about wearing as many cute dresses as you want? Scouting for a cabaret club
-I said I’d just listen to him a bit; he looked like he’d drag me to a building
-if you hadn’t pulled me away, right now I’d be…
2 that was a dangerous spot
-I probably would have pushed the guy over and probably hurt him

Makoto asks if that salon she’s working at is safe or not
-girl, it’s just a normal café. I wear a uniform and greet customers
-no lewd services. It’s legally ok
-Ma, you mean right now right? They’re not making you do anything strange
-girl, not at all. Nope. Although the old men stare at me
-Ma, I see. But why are you working there
-are you that hard up for money
-girl, not really, I could get it if I asked my parents
-Ma, is that the case?
-girl, if I get it from my parents, they’ll ask what I’m using it for
-if I work at the shop, I get a good pay and the customers all pay attention to me
-Ma, really pay attention to you?
-girl, ah, you’re the super elite student council president. So the teachers and parents are expecting a lot from you. You wouldn’t understand
-are you going to rat on me to the school? You even brought a witness
-wait, why were you two there
-hey, hey, hey, Miss President~
1 it’s a misunderstanding 2 what are you going to do about it 3 it’s private
-Ma, that’s right. He was accompanying me on business
-anyway, don’t worry about him
-I won’t say anything about you to anyone else
-girl, so you’re telling me we’ll protect each other’s secrets? President, you’re kind of a bad girl aren’t you
-hey, that guys is the one with the record. This is unexpected
-Ma, it’s not like that
-I was worried that if you were getting into a bad situation
-girl, oh I see. Well whatever
-anyway I was concerned from earlier
-that pencil case. It’s Fuchimaru kun right
-Ma, oh you know
-girl, when I was a kid, I loved it. I collected all the goods
-how nostalgic. It’s beat up
-Ma, someone bought it for me when I was in elementary school
-I want a new one, but these goods aren’t sold anymore
-girl, you care about those items huh. But the fact that the student council president has character merchandise
-my image of the student council president has taken a 360
-Ma, a full circle?
-girl, you didn’t seem like you’d be interested. Like you’d throw out old things
-you seem like a robot. Honestly, hard to get near
-I totally didn’t expect to talk to you like this
-oh, how about we trade information? I want to talk about Fuchimaru kun and that boyfriend of yours
-Ma, but wait, he’s not my boyfriend
-girl, and~ I’ve got it
-I have to go to work now

Makoto’s phone goes off
So she and her new friend are talking back and forth, texting pictures of cute clothes, having fun
4th set of responses, MC tells her she’s cute (second option) 可愛いな
Makoto doesn’t think she is
Her father, a police officer, always sought what was true. Strict but kind.
-Ma, now that I think about it, when I was in elementary school, I told him I wanted to be a police officer
-he said that it was dangerous, but he was happy about it
-a police officer…I forgot about it
3 it’s a cool dream
-but a lot’s happened. I don’t feel like becoming a police officer anymore

-Y, the theme of love last time. I didn’t think it was too bad of an idea
-I thought I learned enough about it, so I ended up drawing what I wanted
-however, I couldn’t come up with a result that satisfied me
-I’m truly a lost lamb in front of the god of art
-yes, a lost lamb. That’s why I came here with you
-the theme this time is “suffering”!
-I want to draw a crisis
-I can’t copy the wall paintings and the statues. None of the priests can model
-ok MC, you’re my model today
1 make me look cool 2 I don’t have confidence 3 so you want me to strip?
-Y, I see, that might be good too!
-to draw you as when you were born—to express the suffering that you were born with
-now, strip!
-strip…
-oh wait, stop. Getting naked in a church is not the best thing to do
-alright so please pose and express the suffering of Christ
MC poses
-Y, I see…
-ah this is no good
-I want to draw suffering. You look like you’re not suffering
-raise your hands higher
-suffer more! Bring it to the limits
-no like this
Yusuke poses; MC emulates
Priest appears
-p, what are you guys doing
-Y, we were studying art
-p, art? Now?
-Y, I wanted to draw suffering, so we’re trying crucifixion poses
-p, it’s the revival…positive elements of it, not just suffering
-to put it simply, today’s suffering will lead to hope tomorrow. Would it be easier to accept if you thought of it like that
-if you do that here, it’ll cause troubles for others. So please keep it down
-Y, suffering that leads to hope
-I don’t understand
-people’s hearts, real beauty…can I really draw it?

Her new friend has a boyfriend. He’s a host.
-Ma, he called out to her near her job. Picking up girls, right?
-all the things we’ve talked about recently are about him. she sent me pictures of their date at the amusement park
3 this seems fishy
-Ma, so you thought so too right?
Makoto is concerned about the boyfriend because he might be trying to use the friend for money. The friend won’t listen to her at all. The girl says Makoto’s way of thinking about the host is old. No real experience with love, so Makoto shouldn’t butt in
Makoto is angry about it
-let’s go look at her friend’s new boyfriend
-be my fake boyfriend
1 leave it to me 2 why me 3 you can be serious, you know
-if I have a boyfriend, I’m sure she’ll listen to me a little bit

Thought of a new strategy now
-Yuki, we have to cleanse the trolls complaining about the thieves
1 you should calm down
-oh sorry. The sound of cleanse sounds scary
-I can’t think of another word
Yuki sent an anonymous mail that says “don’t test your luck or we’ll target you”
2 worried about you, Mishima
That kid shows up again
Yuki says to target the kid, Akiyama
-oh man, in time, I’ll have a change of heart huh
1 maybe 2 do you have a reason

Hideout
Everyone decides to go see Yuki’s shadow to confirm the situation

Mementos
-Yuki, who is this
-are you the thieves
-you’re going to change my heart? Even though I work so hard for you guys
-I…
-If you listen to what I do, the thieves will be more famous
-if the thieves are more famous, then I’ll be in the spotlight. I won’t just be there
-I can see the light. Why are you trying to stop it?
-hey third rates, get out. I want to talk to your leader one on one
The others leave
-everything is your fault
-having the infamous thief nearby, that was enough for me
-I was aware of my role as the one being picked on
-I tried not to stand out and I was ok with it
-but you were too close
-having you here in front of my face, made all the feelings I gave up on come back. I want to be a hero that saves the world. I want the world to look at me
-if the thieves became famous, I’d…
2 would you be satisfied with that
-I don’t know. But this is all I can do
-unlike the thieves I’m powerless. There’s no way anyone would pay attention to me
-that’s why I used you guys
-I know that I was wrong
-but if I don’t do this, the spotlight will never shine on my life
-now come. You’re going to do it right
-you’re not going to fight me? you’re not going to change my heart?
1 face yourself
-R, let’s just leave it at that

MC comes downstairs
2 how’s Futaba
-So, same as always
-today’s the anniversary of Wakaba’s death
-I always do this
-I have a cup for you
Sit at the bar
-Futaba’s just like her mother. She’s smart, unbound by conventional thinking
-Wakaba…
-she suddenly died when she lived a full life with work and child raising
-so you heard that talk between me and the prosecutor, right?
-you were concerned about that talk. It might come around again. I’ll tell you about it
-what that woman’s asking about was Wakaba’s research
-M, what was said in the palace
-So, you don’t have to know the contents of that research. But it’s because of that, that everything’s gotten crazy
-Wakaba fell victim to it
-Wakaba’s cause of death was suicide, but there are a lot of points that seem suspicious
-M, suspicious? Killed by someone else?
-So, there were guys that wanted to steal her research and use it for their own gains
-don’t misunderstand me. I don’t have any proof
-that’s why I haven’t said anything to Futaba. I don’t want her to worry unnecessarily
-M, so that’s how Futaba learned to be suspicious
-So, but there’s something I regret
-Wakaba, just before she died, put out an SOS: “I might die”
-I wrote it off as a joke, but if I had taken it seriously…
-the reason I took Futaba in was to atone for that
-Futaba wasn’t responsible for anything. She was treated so poorly by those heartless bastards. I feel so sorry for her
-hey, how do you heal wounds of the heart?
1 they’ll heal someday
-that’s what I believe. And I’ve waited
-you
Futaba enters
-F, it’s lukewarm
-So, huh
-F, you can’t sell this
-F, before that—how’d you get here
-F, I walked here
-So, are you fine
-F, I can’t do it?
-So, it’s not that. you left the house!
-F, sorry for making you worry
-So, I see…
-I see…
-F, btw what day is it today
-So, it’s the 21st
-F, I feel like there was something happening
1 Megido incident
-oh yeah, it’s that
-I’ll handle it now. Come
In Futaba’s room

-OK, roger
-M, hey Futaba, we don’t have time. Think you can make it?
-F, the kitty talked!
-am I dreaming
-I have to go back to sleep
-M, it’s not a dream. Wake up! say something, MC

-F, oh okay
-M, hurry up
-F, oh whatever, I’m starting
Later
-M, all she seems to be doing is pressing buttons. Will we be ok
-hey Futaba
-looks like she doesn’t hear me. what incredible focus
-this room is a mess. I’m surprised she can concentrate so well
-hey Futaba, you should clean up a little bit
-she’s not listening
-oh well, it’s a little boring. How about we clean up
After cleaning
-turned out a little better
-how’s it going Futaba? We’re done here. Is it done yet over there

-F, I handled it and the room cleaned up
-I don’t know what happened but ok

-M, not sure what happened but I guess it’s handled
Time to sleep

Monday, August 22
Daytime
Everyone comes over
-So, just how long are you going to sleep? Just because it’s summer break you should go overboard
-R, seemed like you were really tired
News talks about Megido—Futaba took over their website, put on the thief troupe mark, and put the info of a Japanese man supposedly in the group on the page. Doxing. No response from Megido.
-So, what are you all giggling about
2 something good happened
-it’s kind of gross. You guys will scare customers
-R, but you don’t have any customers
-So, shut up
-my customers are on summer vacation too
-R, now that I think about it, summer vacation’s gonna end soon
-Y, still have 10 days
-A, I’d like to go somewhere, but we can’t leave Futaba chan alone
-Ma, there’s still a few things I need to look into, like that research
Futaba enters
-So, you just wake up
-Ma, good morning
-Y, looks like she’s on alert
-Ma, why don’t we go upstairs
-So, Futaba, go talk with them
-it’s time for the regulars to come. It’d be a bother if you guys were sitting here
The kids leave. News is on with the bald guy
He’s complaining about how the police/government has been responding to everything happening
-the government has a responsibility to create a society where people can live in peace
-the current cabinet has no ability to handle the situation. Should be disbanded

Present with Sae
Going over the information from Futaba’s story: Wakaba’s death, the research, the Megido incident was handled by Futaba
-Sae, maybe what Kaneshiro and Madarame said about the evil person using the other world for their own gains is true
Going over theories about what’s going on, how it was done. She agrees that someone is using it
Rank 3
The next target
Okumura
-I assume you know him, this man
-can you tell me what you remember

Back to the day
MC’s room with the gang
Going over what we know about the other world: regular people create the image of their perception. Walking ATMs, slaves, etc. The topic research comes up
-R, what was Futaba’s mom researching
-Ma, if I were to summarize all the data I’d heard up to this point
-if it’s used for evil, people die. It’s related to the berserk incidents
-based off the cognitive element, it’s probably related to the other world
-M, on top of that, the research was probably stolen and is being used by that person
-A, the guys that showed Futaba the fake will
-Y, if this is the truth, they’re unforgivable villains
-Ma, hey Futaba, is there anything else you can remember
Futaba walks away
-she’s a tough one to crack
Futaba comes back
-Y, this is
Later
-Ma, no matter how much of a genius Futaba is, do you think she could easily crush world famous hackers like that?
-F, the guys that taunted the thief group were Japanese
-I found out that within Megido, the guys in Japan were nothing
-A, how did you know that
-F, I’m the one that created Megido
-Ma, what do you mean by that? can we take you at your word for it
-F, that’s right. At first it was just me. we were called outlaws back then
-but since it was anonymous, a bunch of guys I don’t know joined. Ended up propagating all over
-A, so it was those guys committing cyber crimes
-F, but I can’t crush them all, so I left them alone
-R, so the real Megido was Futaba, and we were scared of the grunts
-you should have told us from the start, Futaba
-F, I gave up the Megido name. I’m Ali Baba
-Ma, Futaba, what do you want to do from now on
-now that you know our secret, we’d like you to become one of us
-F, ok
-A, that was fast
-Ma, we should be able to search mementos much easier now
-M, that is true
-R, Futaba’s really awesome. Our battle powers exponentially increased huh
-Ma, hey Futaba
-how did you find out about us
-F, secret
-Ma, how did you learn to hack
-F, private
-Ma, when did you get the navi
-F, plead the fifth
-A, Futaba sure is unique
-but if our conversations are like this, we’re going to have problems in the future
-Ma, what do you think we should do, leader
1 get to know her better
-A, so how do we do that
-Ma, why don’t we break the ice
-each person spends the entire day with her. Maybe she’ll get used to us
-Y, I see. We still have our summer vacation
-Ma, let’s start tomorrow
-R, then on the last day, we should go to the beach. There will be a lot of people and sand
-A, that’s a great idea. Now that I think about it, I haven’t been to the beach
-F, there are multiple choices, but we’re locked into one pattern
-Ma, I’ll come tomorrow, so I’ll see you then
-Y, I’ll help out tomorrow too. I’m free then
-Ma, thank you. So let’s set it up with people that are free
-A, ok!
Everyone else leaves
-F, can we do it?

Futaba holds Morgana’s head
-M, why me?

Office
-G, stress is not good for your beauty
-Sae, you think I can stay calm?
-G, I understand how you feel
-Sae, we were called totally useless during this hacker incident
-after all that, the thieves are justice? Don’t make me laugh
-G, the person that took care of Megido is either the thieves themselves or a really fanatical believer
-there was not a single trace of evidence. They must have been very skilled
-at any rate, the public recognizes it as the thieves getting rid of them
-Sae, the thieves are getting much more support; faster than we thought
-G, this is an irregular incident
-I should have realized sooner that they had this power
-Sae, it’s rare for you to say things like that
-G, my sense of justice won’t forgive this

Evening
Text from group—aftereffects of taking care of Megido; other incidents that came up online, Futaba says it’s not them
-Y, you sure talk a lot in chat
-F, then I’ll shut up :|

-Ma, you’ll be calmer that way right?
-F, there’s a demon…
At Futaba’s room
-F, you don’t have to worry about me
-Y, it’s an avant garde design. Your sense isn’t bad
-F, how is it
-Ma, let’s start
-M, so what will we do
-Ma, we’re just going to talk like normal. It’s the basics of communication
1 you look like you have confidence
-I’m the student council president. I have a lot of chances to talk in front of people. Just going to talk about the usual stuff
-Y, the usual stuff?
-Ma, food and weather
-so about food. What’s your favorite food, Futaba
-F, anything that uses safe ingredients
-Ma, how about the weather. The heat island effect continues this year
-F, I don’t know anything about it. I haven’t been outside
-Ma, oh yeah
-M, to think that Makoto could be like this
-Ma, shouldn’t have turned out like this. Oh yeah Yusuke, what have you been doing
-Y, it turned out excellent
Yusuke made the action figures pose
-when I touched the dolls, the heads came off, so I beautifully fixed them
-F, what are you doing to my children
-Y, you mean they weren’t garbage
-F, no, it’s phoenix sin feather man
-his face!
-he’s dressed as a fox
-F, it was fine like that
-Mr Fox’s sense of beauty is doubtful
-Y, who do you think you’re saying that to
-M, hey that’s not random conversation, that’s a fight
-Ma, yeah
Later
-F, the transformer suits are good. Victory has incredible action. It’s great
-M, so Futaba can talk if it’s a topic she’s interested in
-Ma, I guess it was my fault for talking about the wrong things
-F, if this is what you’re talking about, this is easy
-Y, then let’s move onto the next step
-how about spending time in another person’s room
-Ma, good idea
-F, don’t raise the hurdle so fast
3 we’ll be with you
-F, then, uh
-Ma, tomorrow Anne and Ryuji will be with you. Do your best
-F, can I wear the mask
-Ma, please don’t wear that
-M, oh boy, how is this going to turn out

Evening
Text from group—R, it’s nuts out there. Everyone’s talking about us on the news and in the streets
-so how about the person that helped us get rid of Megido
-Futaba~
-F, someone’s been called to heaven (action figures)
-A, ???
1 we just talked in the room 2 Yusuke’s done it
-Ma, don’t make this chat any more confusing
-quite a bit that happened but she’s ok with talking
-Y, tomorrow’s goal is to spend time in another person’s room
-Futaba is quite the formidable opponent
-F, you’re annoying, Mr Fox
-R, my turn tomorrow. See you then!
-A, let’s talk tomorrow!
-M, this combination is worrying me

-M, today’s going to be crazy
MC’s room
-R, they waited for me
-A, it’s you, Ryuji. No way you’d have a popular period
-F, you have no charm as a member of the opposite sex
-M, guys that are popular don’t say they are
-A, oh yeah, talking about dresses, a high amount of skin is better. Better to do it when you’re young
-F, I have no intentions of getting married now
-M, I don’t want to hear about that
-R, fine. Futaba can talk normally
-A, right. She can state her own opinion
-R, totally normal
-F, I don’t really understand what normal is
-if this is normal, it’s fun
-R, I thought at first that you’d be a bit weird. My loss for worrying
-A, now I’m relieved. If it’s like this, I think we can do well
-what will we do tomorrow
-M, have her help out at the store
-A, that’d be good
-can practice in front of people

Customer leaves

-it was pretty easy to do
-I want to work
-want me to take coffee to more people?

-F, be cold

-R, this seriously is late. Why are they making us wait
Anne and Makoto are here
-A, hello~

-not much time left until we go to the beach
-F, but that’s, uh
-Ma, if you guys peek you know what’ll happen right
Boys go downstairs
-Ma, incredible, the size was perfect. Your ability to measure is great, Anne
-A, right?
-and we’re done
-F, what is this? There’s so little cloth
-A, this is normal for a bathing suit
-and then you bring these a little closer together
-R, bring them together?
-Ma, is that something you want to do with strings?
-A, you’re supposed to pile these on a bit. Now we’re done
-F, so this is me
-R, what are they doing up there
-M, what do you mean? They’re trying clothes on
-Y, what Futaba looks like in a swimsuit huh
-it could become a nice piece of art. Shall I talk to Makoto
2 you’re a pervert
-Y, that’s rude! I was just looking at it from an artistic standpoint
-R, ah whatever
-M, you guys sure are kids
-So, they sure are loud up there. Heard something about swimsuits
-R, they’re trying them on. going to the beach
-So, Futaba at the beach huh
-I always thought the word seasonal didn’t connect to her
-Ma, so this will be your swimsuit
-A, this seriously looks good on you. No hollow compliments
-Futaba, you can’t lurch over like that. stand straight and stick your chest out
-So, I know it might be a bit of a problem, but help Futaba make some good memories

Evening
Text from group—A, we prepared the swimsuits and we’re OK for swimming
-Ma, all that’s left is if Futaba can do it
-F, I can do it, I can do it, I can do it

-Y, seems like something big

-Sae sure knows how to recommend it
-So, I’ve talked about everything I know. Nothing else to say
-G, I didn’t come for that. I came to drink some delicious coffee
-who’s that
-so you’re Ishiki Wakaba’s daughter
-So, what’s your order
-G, give me what you recommend
-So, understood
-G, seems like no matter where I go I’m not welcome
2 that’s surprising
-I’m sorry
-my mother was the lover of some no good man
-after she became pregnant with me, she was thrown away. she was so shocked, she destroyed her health and left the world quickly
-it’s thanks to that, I’ve been moved from place to place. Even now I’m living alone
-oh that’s right, that Megido incident. I heard they were taken out by hacking
-I don’t know if it was the thieves that took them out or a fanatical believer that did it
-your name is Futaba right? I heard about you from Sae
-there are many thief fans around your age
-do you like them?
-F, ….
-G, what’s wrong
-F, you’re really popular, famous detective Akechi
-G, thank you
-although I don’t want to be put on the same stage as the thieves
-this is really delicious. You drink this every day right? I’m jealous

-A, sorry, we decided that the girls would ride the banana boats
-Ma, sorry it fits three people so we can only borrow one boat
-R, then what about us
-A, you get to watch our bags
-R, gotta be kidding me! who do you think we are
-we’re famous people that caused an uproar in society. Treat us a little better
-A, you can steal treasure but you can’t steal the heart of a girl
-M, please, Anne-dono
-F, when are we going to the banana boat
-Ma, sorry, we’re going now
-A, when we’re done we’re trade with you guys. Watch our stuff for us
The girls leave
-R, damnit, those guys don’t understand how awesome I am
-I risk my life being a thief. I’m not the same as those guys around here
-can’t we have better memories in reality?
1 that is true
-you think so too right Yusuke
-Y, now that you mention it, yes
-R, Anne’s around us too much so she doesn’t understand
-M, how can we let Anne know about how awesome being a thief is
-R, we’ve gotta steal it. You know, that
2 you mean their hearts
-Anne made fun of us. We have to pay her back
-M, I see. If I can prove my techniques work in reality…
-R, the techniques we’ve polished being thieves. Let’s steal a lot of them!
-we’ll be swimming in women with our aura
-Y, sounds good. Let’s do it. Doing work in reality doesn’t sound too bad
-R, it’s decided
-so in that case, Mona, can you watch the bags for us
-M, what
-R, alright let’s go
-M, hey, don’t leave me here!

Yusuke comes back with random lobsters

-Y, these were on sale. I went to do this while those guys were hitting on you
-R, if you saw, why didn’t you help us

-I haven’t felt this shock since the first time I saw Anne
-R, that’s nice

-guy, aren’t you bored with these brats
-Ma, much better than you two
-guy, knock it off. Let the brats have their fun
-A, they’re gross
-Ma, thanks for coming
-those guys were really annoying
1 you did well to put up with them 2 that guy sure had good luck
-Ma, what do you mean
-R, if they had messed up they would have been sent to the hospital
-Y, btw where’s Futaba and Morgana
-F, lobsters in both hands?
-A, that’s what I was thinking
-M, cook them in their shells? Sashimi?
-Y, they’re for my aquarium!
-R, had a lot of stuff going on. guess it’s good we came here
At the shore
-Ma, we should get ready to go home now
-Y, shall we get ready
-A, Futaba was fine in this crowd. Looks like we’ve cleared our tasks
-R, hey Futaba we’re going home. Don’t stand there, help out
-F, I…
-for a long time I thought it was my fault that my mother died
-because everyone said that I killed her, I thought everyone saw me as a murderer
-I started to hate this world, so I hid in my shell and covered my ears
-I wished that my mother would come back to life
-sometimes I’d wake up and think that it was a dream. But the world hadn’t changed
-so that’s why I went back to sleep. And I just repeated that
-Ma, yeah…
-F, I loved my mother. I wanted to be like her
-being at my desk every night, waking up early and making lunch
-doing my best to research like my mom. Quietly looking at my notebook and getting mad
-the conscious world is being distorted by desires
-when that world is distorted, there are problems in reality
-when you take the core of that world out, that core disappears, and the problem fades away
-A, then that’s the palace
-M, so you knew about the other world?
-F, I didn’t understand it. But when it happened to me, I finally understood
-all I thought about was my mother. When I realized it, I was a prisoner in the maze of consciousness
-I couldn’t leave. There was nothing I could do with myself
-R, so that’s why you asked us to steal your heart? That’s a real jump
-F, I didn’t believe the rumors at first about the thieves who could steal hearts
-by coincidence I heard that a thief was close by
-Y, you heard? Ah, the bug. Why did you bug Leblanc in the first place
-F, I had to keep an eye on Sojiro to make sure he was actually working
-R, that is such a bad hobby
-F, when I heard the talk about stealing hearts, I was so happy that I jumped up
-if it’s the thieves, I thought they might be able to heal my heart
-A, you could have said that in the first place
-F, I thought if I suddenly asked that it might be suspicious, and they might be bad guys anyway
-that’s why I was careful when I contacted you. I checked over and over how I should respond
-Ma, right, you really led us around
-A, Futaba, you haven’t really talked anyone other than Sojiro for too long
-to contact the thieves, it took a lot of courage right
-F, two reasons
-first was the Megido taunting. The thieves looked so pathetic that it pissed me off
-and if they were forced to disband, it would be trouble
-the other thing was something I heard from the bug I put in Leblanc
-that people were going after Sojiro with lies that I was abused
-I was sad and it was painful
-I thought I had to do something to help Sojiro
-A, so that’s why
-F, but the thieves
-I didn’t think they’d do something so dangerous for me
-I didn’t think you’d worry about me. I’m sorry for doubting you
-A, so does that mean you believe us
-F, yeah I know you aren’t bad guys
-I’d like to ask, make me one of your comrades
-R, don’t have to ask. You’re already one of us
-F, let me be honest
-my objective isn’t to change peoples’ hearts, but I want to know more about my mother
-I want to know why she was killed
-Y, killed?
-F, it was written in my mother’s notes
-if you die in the conscious world, that you in the real world…
-R, turning into a husk/shell?
-Y, so that villain that Kane talked about
-Ma, that’s what it was about
-I don’t want to think about it too much, but Futaba’s mother…
-F, I don’t know
-but just before she died, she acted strange
-R, how so
-F, even when I talked to her, she wouldn’t respond
-it was like she fell into the road than she jumped into it
-that’s why I thought the note might be true and I looked into it
-I read books and read essays online
-I snuck into various networks of research facilities and looked at their data
-R, so that’s the hacking. Man what kind of brain do you have
-F, but I couldn’t find anything. I couldn’t find where my mother’s research went
-my mother was killed and her data was erased
-I’m certain it was by the people in black that faked that will
-I won’t forgive them
-A, Futaba…
-F, I realized, if I’m with you, I can learn about that world
-and then, someday, that it might connect to those guys in black
-the reason I want to become part of the team is incredibly personal. No good? Will I be a burden?
-R, it’s the opposite. We’d be great to have you. Right Mona
-M, why are you looking at me. are you saying I’m not enough
-R, she probably already is more useful than you are
-M, I won’t take that
-Ma, this is the kind of thief group we are. We’ll be counting on you
-F, thank you
-A, forget about them. How about we decide Futaba’s codename
-F, what’s that
-A, using you real name isn’t cool
-Y, everyone’s code names
-Ma, Futaba, hacker, no that doesn’t work
-A, mecca?
-Y, PC
-F, no
-M, how about goggles
-F, that is so uncool. The cat doesn’t have any sense
-R, take that~~~
-A, do you have any good ideas for Futaba’s code name
1 glasses 2 pharaoh 3 net
-F, curse you
-Ma, what do you like, Futaba
-F, hmm
-navi. I’ll lead you to victory
-A, pretty good isn’t it
-R, then Futaba is Navi
-F, seriously I didn’t think those rumored thieves would be so close
-M, same for us
-to think that the daughter of another world’s researcher
-Ma, shall we go home?
-F, let’s go home!

Office
Boss is scheming obviously

Morgana has a nightmare about being a shadow in Mementos
-M, that black shadow was me?
-no way, I’m human. I have to be human
-clearly it was a distortion in the depths of mementos. It’ll be ok
1 you have a nightmare?
-no, I’m sunburned from the beach
2 can cats get sunburned
-this is just a what if. What if I was something strange? What would you do
1 I wouldn’t be concerned 2 you are strange 3 really?
-if what I said was true, would you be ok if I stayed with the thief troupe
-well whatever. I kind of am used to the life of a cat. This storage space is quite comfortable
-but it’s time I return to being human and move out
-in the suite room on the top floor, living a luxurious life
-if I’m going to become something strange, it’d be better to be a cat the rest of my life
-we made a deal that I can stay here right
1 yes
-don’t forget that huh

Ok
-oh you’re such a nice guy
Unlock Akihabara—go there now
Find Futaba with a security guard. She’s crying. Guard makes sure she knows the MC and leaves
-F, I thought I got over everything when we went to the beach
-M, so it’s no good
-F, I panicked. There wasn’t anyone I knew. My heart beat like crazy
-alone, scary…I couldn’t move. Just stood there
-so everyone around me was confused, so the guard came
-M, when you’re having problems, call MC
-F, call. Understood
-if I’m this close, I feel calm. Is this ok?
1 hard to move 2 are you one of those little fish that hangs onto other sharks?, pick 2
-F, yeah I might be
-will you go out with me all the time? You’re my necessary item
-in exchange I’ll try harder navigating you

-never heard of a thief saving money
Talking about that if they take down all the husk incidents, they’d be the best and control the land
-R, then we could reveal who we are
-Ma, we’re not doing this for fame
-M, being unknown is the beautiful part about being a thief
-why don’t we ask Sae about it
-Ma, I can’t ask her because she’ll say to keep my head out of it
-F, if you can’t ask her, why don’t we just steal the data

-if I invite her, you think she’d say yes

Hallways, boys are talking and Kawakami finds them
Makoto walks by; she and Kawakami go off to the side to talk about the conspiracy coming out

Sae and Makoto’s house
-Ma, are you busy
-Sae, updating the list of evidence that they put into storage. Even the part timers could do it. I don’t have time to do it
-my irritated face shows up at work, so I brought it home
-Ma, thank you for your hard work
-Sae, the thief incident isn’t something I can deal with while I’m busy with other things
-the media is needlessly stirring this up, so it’s hard to ask around. Everyone’s on alert
-I couldn’t even get any information from the guy. I even tried intimidating him
-I just pressured him a little bit
-Ma, oh yeah, I have the class trip starting next week
-the teacher that’s accompanying them is being questioned, so I’m going in her place
-Sae, not too bad huh? The school will owe you one
-this isn’t going to be a problem for your entrance exams right
-Ma, no I’ll be fine
-you can go into the bath first. I have studies
-Sae, then I’ll take you up on that offer
Sae leaves to the bath; Makoto puts the USB in
-Ma, this is fine right
-Sae, hey Makoto
-Ma, yes?
-Sae, I want to change my toothbrush
-Ma, I bought some and left it on the shelf
-Sae, thanks
-Ma, hurry…
Water turns off
-no way? She’s already done
-you’re sure quick today
-Sae, I didn’t feel like soaking in the bath
-Ma, just a little more

-Ma, how long will it take you to analyze all this
-F, there’s quite a bit, so one night isn’t enough
-but by the time you come back from your trip, I’ll have something. I want gifts from Hawaii and LA as rewards
-A, Futaba is amazing as always
-is this information worthy as they call it? It’s all hi-tech, it’s like a movie
-M, isn’t it obvious? We’re thieves. I mean I can become a car
-R, don’t get all jealous

-what happens if they get a request from overseas
-A, even if you ask us, we don’t know
-Yuki, they beat Megido. Who’s the next villain they’ll deal with
-it isn’t just Japan. The whole world is interested in what the thieves will do next
-A, oh yeah what time is it now

-R, hey…
-A, sorry for being a downer
-but she’s been happier since then. It’s a little strange
-R, the guys causing trouble at school are causing trouble across the world? Hard to believe
-A, but you know we don’t know much about each other, don’t you think
-for example what kind of person do you like? What about you Ryuji? Be honest
-R, me?
-um…let me see…
-for me it’s all about personality. Kind and calm
-A, so what happens if two girls that have the same personality came and confessed to you at the same time
-R, if they’re both really kind? Then the one that has the better style
-A, so you’re saying style is the most important
-R, eh?
-A, the first thing you answered was what you say to everyone. What you really mean is the second one
-ah Ryuji, you’re just as I thought
-R, that was unfair!
-A, how about you MC? What kind of girls do you like

-or could it be…?
Go on a walk with Makoto or Ryuji
Makoto, obviously
Out on the beach
-Ma, sorry for suddenly calling you out

-Ma, yes, of course
The owner gave us a lot of free shrimp
-Ma, that’s incredible
We looked at the beach while enjoying the flavors of a different country
-so beautiful
-it’s already this late
-we’re just sitting around huh. If my sister saw this, she’d be mad
-to be honest, I wasn’t too interested in going on vacations
-but if it’s something like this, I think it’d be nice to come again
1 it’s really fun
-yeah
-I’ll give this to you
Received a tiki key holder gift from Makoto

Sae and Makoto’s house
-Ma, welcome home
-Sae, oh, even though you just got back from your trip? I’m surprised
-Ma, I bought you a gift
-Sae, the principal at Syujin died
-he stopped in the middle of a crosswalk and a truck hit him. he died from shock from the wounds
-apparently the line of thinking is suicide, but
-Ma, the principal committing suicide?
-Sae, but would someone that wanted to commit suicide actually go to the police? And use a taxi to go there?
-Ma, you mean this was an incident
-Sae, his mindset changed unnaturally
-I can only think of it as a change of heart
-Ma, are you saying he was targeted by the thieves
-there’s no way that’s true
-Sae, how can you say that
-Ma, because
-based on all the cases, the changed people admitted to their crimes
-the actions are contradictory
-Sae, was the principal acting strangely recently?
-Ma, I don’t know. He doesn’t interact with the students very much
-Sae, I wonder what happened during the school trip
-sorry. You were in the middle of studying. Sorry for getting in your way
-Makoto
-Ma, hm?
-Sae, no, it’s nothing
-don’t get involved in anything strange

Staff member announces the principal’s passing. Police say it was the thieves
Students doubt the thieves

Present with Sae
-Sae, I recognize the trail. Data was stolen from my laptop
-thinking about it, this would be impossible unless Makoto was part of the group
-but she wouldn’t do something so stupid
-anyway, is it true that you have absolutely nothing to do with the incident involving the principal
1 it’s true
-what’s the meaning of this
-if true, it would be unnatural for you to go after the life of someone related to school
1 yes
-I don’t plan on believing everything you said
-but it seems like you’re not one to lie
Rank 4 with Sae
-continue

Evening
At MC’s room
-Y, according to newspaper, people think he committed suicide because of the conspiracy of the K incident
-A, if the principal did commit suicide, was it our fault
-R, what do you mean by that
-A, this might not have happened if we didn’t change K’s heart
-R, if we didn’t do it, he would have kept doing it to us
-F, on the net, a lot of opinions are that “of course he died” “covering up conspiracies” it’s evil
The opinion of the people online: they don’t trust politicians or police
They want the thieves to change society
-Ma, are we doing what’s right
-R, but didn’t he actually cover everything up? he did it to himself. Did he deserve it
-M, let’s get back to the main topic, about Niijima’s data
Sae investigated the incidents and found there was an obvious tie: not an accident or an illness. Looked into whether or not there were more things in common. Some parts were different, but more than half the cases involved some entity that stood to benefit
-Y, that was the company Okumura Foods and the CEO Okumura
-R, Okumura? Where have I heard that
-Y, Big Bang Burger
-R, you serious
-A, now that you mention it, these last few years, Big Bang Burger got famous
-they even had a store in Hawaii
-Y, Sae had a list of things that seemed suspicious about the company
-M, even though they don’t know if the incidents were accidents or not, but they specifically managed to point out that CEO
-it seems more natural to think that he caused the incidents
-Ma, I understand that
-M, we have more reason to believe so. A big reason. Futaba, tell them
-F, I put Okumura’s name into the navi. He has a palace
-R, then we have our next target
-M, yeah that’s it. Okumura’s in the upper rankings
-Y, wait. It may not be that he’s a bad person. We can’t jump into this
-and this boom with the public? To be honest it’s a little creepy
-A, yeah, this excitement. It’s not normal. I think it’d be better if we waited for it to calm down a bit
-R, what’s with you Anne? Are you going to betray the voices that respect us
-are you serious
-F, it looks like we won’t come to a consensus today
-M, what’s with you Ryuji? Are you just going to shut up when logic’s thrown in your face
-it’s all you, Ryuji. All you said is how you want to be popular with girls because of the thieves’ fame. That’s all you talk about
-it’s fine feeling great about being popular. But your individual needs are unnecessary
-R, you’re moving to your own personal goals aren’t you
-M, even if I change my form, I am a human
-I’m a better human than you are, you golden-haired monkey
-R, what the hell!!
-M, fine, Okumura’s a small fry. I’ll be fine by myself
-too bad. The clue to figure out why everyone’s turning into shells will be mine
Flashback to Ryuji on the beach insulting Morgana
-I’ll show you who’s useless
-R, yeah you better show me
-A, Ryuji, stop it
-M, it would seem that I have no place here anymore
-starting today, farewell. We’re going our separate ways
1 what’s wrong with you
-A, wait
-M, see you
Morgana leaves
-R, he’s gonna come back right away
Out on the street
-M, I’m human
-I can do it by myself. Before them, I was all by myself
-first things first, I have to take care of Okumura before they do
Haru passes by
-H, that kitty just now…
At the office
-Sae, this is not amusing
-the public thinks the thieves are justice. Not paying attention to the principal’s death
-G, is your reasoning the Okumura Foods? Are you looking into them
-Sae, there are cases of people turning into shells around Okumura
-if there was a link connecting him and the thieves
-if there isn’t, there will be a problem
-G, aren’t you getting ahead of yourself? Even with taking away Sojiro’s parental rights
-Sae, that was to solve the case
-G, I know that you have the special sections chief behind you, but you’ve been a little forceful, Sae
-from a police perspective, you’re breaking jurisdiction lines. You might pay for it later
-Sae, the upper management said that too
-G, we have to figure out how the thieves did it
-if we don’t know that, the police won’t mobilize
-Sae, a special opponent like this, if we followed the standard investigation procedures, we won’t catch them. Is there a reason we have to do this
-G, are you trying to fix the world by ignoring the rules? That’s the same thing the thieves are doing
-catching the criminal behind the berserk incidents, I feel the same as you do
At the palace
-M, what have I done
-robot, dispose
-other, leave it alone. We don’t have time to worry about a single cat
-M, doing this alone is impossible huh
Haru
-H, this is terrible
-M, who are you
-master?

Wednesday, September 14
Futaba is downstairs
-F, did you see Morgana
2 I’m worried about him
-yeah
Text from group—everyone’s worried about Morgana
-R, you guys are too worried because he hasn’t come back in a day
-besides, he was alone before he met us. He can probably do something by himself
-don’t worry about him. if something happens, he’ll come back
Leblanc
-F, everyone’s a little cold
-whatever. Have a good day at school

School
Shops in the Edo period…
Later
Text from Futaba—when school’s over, come straight home
1 what’s wrong
-we’ll wait for Morgana to return together
-come straight home
-I wonder what’s wrong with Morgana. I hope he comes home soon

Evening
-robot, follow the intruder
-other, where’d they go? Search for them
-another, one more has been found. Watch out
-two intruders found. Split up and go after them
-intruders found. Following them
At home
-F, Mona hasn’t come back
-So, when he gets hungry, he’ll come back
News about Okumura: main HQ of Okumura Foods windows were broken and even the bronze statue of Okumura was pushed over
Text from Futaba—
-So, seems like he did something to make someone hate him
News—no sign of an intruder; having trouble identifying a perpetrator
-F, could it be that Mona went in by himself
1 it’s possible
-hmm he’s the kind of person to do that
-we should all go to Okumura’s palace tomorrow. I’ll contact them
-So, ….?
Room
Text from group—Futaba explains the plan to everyone
Go to bed

Thursday, September 14
After school
In front of Okumura Foods HQ
-F, man, it’d be more impossible to infiltrate in reality
-Ma, this seems like a totally different level from what we’ve been doing until now
-F, keywords are “headquarters” and “space”
-A, oh right, Big Bang Burger is related to space

Palace
-A, we’re treated like enemies right away?
-Ma, there was the news right? President Okumura’s probably on alert
-Y, it’s like we’re in a movie
-ah I should have brought my sketchbook
Go downstairs
The workers are further downstairs as robots
-F, (quoting the shift leader) shifts are absolute
-if you hate it, quit
-we won’t help you out
-R, I told you Okumura’s a piece of shit
-F, we’re really only after Mona today
Go to the room where we find Haru and Morgana
The door shuts on them—insufficient permissions
-H, stop, you people
-R, who’s that
-Ma, those clothes. She can’t be. She’s one of us
-A, a black mask
-is she the one that Madarame and Kaneshiro talked about
-R, then she’s the criminal behind the people turning into shells? It was a woman?
-Y, so you’re the one that was following us
-R, say something
-M, you guys should stop misunderstanding
-F, Mona
-A, you’re ok
-M, it’s been a while, panther
-R, it hasn’t been that long
-M, if you’re after the treasure, you should turn tail and go home
-Y, we came looking for you
-M, the treasure will be taken by me and this beautiful thief
-Ma, beautiful thief?
-M, she can use a persona too
-H, I am the pretty thief
-A, she said it about herself…
-Y, they lack any sort of tension
-H, we’ll be taking the treasure
-F, Mona said that
-H, you have no right to be thieves
-now listen here. Great thieves…
-M, tell them
-H, what do you think
1 we help the weak and defeat the strong
-that’s right. Yes that’s right
-stop this meaningless banter
-A, but you started it
-R, Mona what is with this
-M, wait, we’ll do it correctly now
-H, you
-Y, me?
-H, think about the situation you’re in more carefully
-you act terrible and you’re not very smart
-R, huh
-H, you…uh…
-what was it
-Ma, you came to say this?
-R, she doesn’t look very safe
-H, we’ll be taking the treasure
-F, you already said that
-M, we don’t have time to be chatting with you
-R, stop, that won’t open
-M, don’t underestimate us
-A, behind you
-Y, here they come
Time to run

Evening
MC’s room
-R, Goddamnit, shit. Why did they all chase me?
-all because that pretty thief opened the door
-F, that door probably has a biological sensor
-A, what was that girl
-Y, he said she was a persona user, right? Can that be true
-A, she looked like it
-F, did Mona betray us
3 I’d like to think that’s not the case
-yeah you’re right
-Ma, I don’t think he’s betrayed us
-if that was the case, he’d probably reveal who we were or intimidate us directly
-R, besides what kind of relationship does Morgana and that woman thief have anyway
-Y, based off her voice and the form of her body, I’d say she’s the same age as we are
-Ma, think I’ve seen her somewhere
-R, really? Who is she
-Ma, think it was at school
-R, school?
-oh yeah now that I think about it, I feel like I’ve seen her
-Y, a student of Syujin?
-Ma, it feels like it. She was wearing a mask
-the student council room has pictures of the entire student body. I’ll check tomorrow
-if we know who the pretty thief is, we’ll be able to contact Morgana
They leave
Text from group—talking about incident with Okumura Foods and how they’re based a lot on line
Go to bed

School
Text from group—

After school
Student council room
-R, this girl is really pretty
-but she’s younger than me
-A, Ryuji!
-no way, he’s the same as age we are? He looks like a friend of my father’s
-R, please take this seriously
-Ma, let’s take a break
Later
-there are several hundred female students alone. It’s no wonder we can’t concentrate
-A, everyone’s starting to look the same
-R, can we really find her
1 I’m sure we’ll find her
-you sure sound confident
-A, it’s this girl
-Ma, Okumura Haru. Okumura?
-A, the pretty thief was like this. Especially the fluffy hair
-R, oh she’s an Okumura
-Ma, I can see why the door that had the biological sensor would open. Let’s look into this
-A, but why was she in the palace
-R, make her spill her guts about it
-Ma, she might have gone home already today, so let’s try this tomorrow
-I have to close up
-see you tomorrow
Outside
She’s Okumura Haru
-H, I can’t move it
1 are you ok
-H, do you like working with soil?
1 a little bit
-oh that’s great
-if you could take these off for me
-just what I expect from a guy. Thank you
-oh you’re a second year, right? Then I’m a little older
-have we met somewhere before?
-oh I haven’t introduced myself. I’m…
-Ma, you’re Okumura Haru, right
-you’re the only daughter of Okumura Foods’ CEO Okumura Kumikazu
-can you explain why you were in your father’s palace
-H, oh that’s incredible. I got found out in a single day
-that Mad Max outfit looked really nice on you
-Ma, that turn of the century outfit looked great on you
-why are you a thief?
-H, as a business man, my father is well-rated but I have a lot of doubts about him
-and it’s become difficult
-I know it might be satisfying my own interest, but it’s my style for repaying him for everything
-can you say this is running away
-Ma, where did you meet Morgana
-H, that was a coincidence
-I found this lonely looking cat in front of the HQ
-Ma, that was Morgana?
-H, I followed after him and he entered the other world
-I can’t change my father’s company
-but if I become a thief, I think I can change my father
-Ma, can we work together?
-H, can’t work with people that don’t know what they want to do
-the world is needlessly going crazy
-even though you say you’re helping the weak, you weren’t helping your friend
-Ma, that’s because…
-H, I just want to repent for my father’s crimes
-that and I’d like to help Mona who’s given me the chance to do this
-Ma, but our objective is the same. If we worked together…
-H, no I’m going to go with Mona
Makoto and MC leave
-Ma, she really poked us in a tender spot. What do we really want to do huh
-it looks like we won’t be able to get her help. Let’s talk to everyone about what to do
-we can’t leave Morgana alone
Okumura home
-H, I’ve now just returned
-Oku, turn them away
-right. Please prioritize it
Off the phone
-I finally found a chance to enter the political world and now this
-damn thieves
-did the media ask you anything
-H, nothing at all
-what’s going on with the thieves
-Oku, I became number one on the thieves message board
-H, is it because of the news reports
-Oku, it’s the jealousy of someone that’s successful
-it’s just the howls of people that aren’t prepared to sacrifice for the greatest amount of happiness
-the young and the old are happy with empty things. This country has no future
-H, if they were real, what would you do? If the thieves were real
-Oku, do you still suspect me
-H, no
-Oku, more importantly, is it going well with him
-H, yes
-Oku, then fine
-although he may be like that, he is the son of a powerful member of parliament. Do your best with him
-someday he’ll be an important connection for our company. No, to me
-H, I’ll do my best to work for him
-I’ll do whatever I can
-Oku, that’s good
-just what is expected of an Okumura

Evening
Text from group—on the thief channel, comments thanking the thieves for taking jobs and completing them even though they haven’t accepted any
-Y, must be someone going to mementos and taking care of it
-A, I think it’s Morgana
-F, I agree. He’s probably going with the pretty thief
-Ma, let’s look into it
-I tried to convince Okumura at school but she’s avoiding me
-R, what do you mean look into it
-Ma, stake out Mementos
1 I agree
-R, instead of ambushing, we should go after them

Saturday, September 17
School
Text from group—go to mementos after school

After school
At mementos
Waiting around for Haru and Mona…
They appear at the entrance
-Ma, have you guys been doing requests on the thief channel? They even wrote comments
-we’d like you to not take them so recklessly
-Y, please don’t leave any traces of yourself, otherwise they’ll lead to us
-H, I’m sorry, I’m not very good with machines
-M, are you going to apologize
-H, they’re saying it for our sake. We have to thank them
-M, so you came here for me
-so you mean you guys can’t go on without me? is that the case
1 we’re in trouble without you
-R, is that the case
-A, Ryuji!
-I’m sorry, we didn’t think about your feelings, Morgana
-M, Anne-dono…
-H, everyone, is it ok for you to not use your codenames
-A, this is not how you really feel Ryuji. You want to apologize right
-R, I’m sorry. I’m at fault
-you don’t have to worry about being not human or not being useful or whatever
-F, you have no delicacy
-Y, all of Anne’s goodwill down the drain
-M, oh I see, so all I am is useless
-if you’re going to say that, then you guys can go on without me
-come and try to catch me
-pretty thief, get on
-if you can’t catch me, you have to give up on me
Morgana bus leaves
-F, they went
-R, how many hours do you think you made us wait? Bring it on
Chasing after Morgana
Morgana crashes
-Ma, why are you acting so prideful, Morgana
-M, I’m a man! I can’t bow my head down like that
-H, hey look over there
They run away

Evening
Morgana and Haru are in Shibuya
-M, that’ll show those guys
-H, was it ok that we did that
-M, of course it is
The son appears
-s, you made me look for you
-I couldn’t reach you by phone. Where were you? Having fun with another man?
-H, I wasn’t playing around
-s, you’ll let me do that fun stuff too
-you can’t do it. Is that what you’re saying
-H, it hurts
-M, damn you, get away from Haru
-s, fucking cat
-H, Mona!
-M, shit now I really am useless
-is there someone there
-s, quit meowing you stupid fucking cat
Group is on the sidewalk
-R, damn Morgana. Next time we meet he won’t get away with that
-M, someone…
-F, that was Mona’s voice
-A, sounds like he’s in trouble
-H, let go of me
-Ma, Okumura san
-F, Mona
-R, what the hell are you doing to my friend
-s, we’re having a couples’ spat. Sorry for causing a ruckus
-A, fiancée? But Okumura doesn’t like it
-s, now you’ve really embarrassed me. I’ll have to report this to your father
-I’ll remember your face
He leaves
-A, are you ok
-H, don’t worry about me. worry about Mona
-M, it’s nothing
-A, that didn’t seem like a regular fight
-shouldn’t you consult with your parents
-H, I think it’d be useless
-he’d probably just say “get on your knees and apologize. Ask for his forgiveness”
-Y, looks like you have some circumstances
-M, I have to apologize for earlier
-could you let Haru rest with you guys
-R, of course. Is it ok if we go to your house
-M, sorry
At MC’s room
Haru rests while everyone apologizes to Morgana
-H, sorry I fell asleep
-Ma, are you rested?
-H, Mona-chan?
-M, anyway, it’s as we talked about
-I can’t have you risking your life for a useless person like me
-I don’t have any proof that I can change back into a human
-this can’t even be a deal. We should part ways here
-Y, who’s being a thief for your sake? I’m doing it so I can expand my horizons
-M, don’t try to comfort me with that
-we’ll part ways. is that alright
-H, you should stop lying
-you said it when I found you collapsed in the other world, Mona
-that you remember this thief group—you want to become strong so they can recognize it
-you love it here, don’t you
-M, that’s not it at all
-H, I know that I was lying to myself as well. I realized it when I made my contract with my persona
-when I said I didn’t believe my father did terrible things, I only said it to save face
-I really…
-A, you don’t want to get married right
-H, It was decided by an adult in a position of power and responsibility. It had to be right. I thought I had to do it
-how foolish. I was constrained by something that didn’t have a form. I kept quiet the entire time and it even gave me a fiancé
-but I won’t put up with it anymore
-I can’t take that person! He’s disgusting
-this is how I really feel
-M, what’s with you all of a sudden
-H, Mona, have you actually said why you want to return to being human
-M, that’s…
-at first I said it was so I could get back my memories. That was just…
-but I don’t know who I am or why I was born. I don’t know any of that
-A, Morgana…
-M, I wanted a reason. A reason to be with the thieves
-there’s no one I want to take revenge on. no one I want to help. There’s no reason I should be here
-that’s why to me this thief this group…
-A, you can say it. You can do it
-M, this is the only place I belong. I want to be here forever
-R, you could have said that from the start, man
-M, but if you keep up with me I don’t know what crazy things will happen
-that’s ok right
-A, we’ve already gotten through a lot
-and of course we want to be with you too
-M, um, how should I put this
-I’m sorry for making you worry
-this is where I belong
-I’ll be working really hard. You can’t cancel now
Rank 8 with Morgana—take a fatal blow
Everyone else goes
Go to sleep
Morgana’s curled up on MC’s stomach again
Why do I feel so heavy today…

Sunday, September 18
Daytime
-So, hey
-what’s going on? you brought a different girl
1 don’t look at us strange
-I don’t mean it like that…but don’t make her cry
-I heard you found the cat and took care of it
-H, I didn’t really do that much
-M, I was the one that took care of her
-F, what’s up? you look like you’re having fun
-H, it’s been a long time since I’ve had a meal with this many people
-So, don’t be too late going home today. Your parents are probably worried
-F, if you don’t want to go home, it’s ok
-H, no it’s fine, I’ll go home
-if my father’s on alert, it’ll be harder to change his heart
-I’ll contact you again.. oh
-contact information?
They exchange numbers
-this is where you belong right Mona
-M, you could say that
At Okumura home
-Oku, I’ve arranged it so you’re going to his house
-I know you haven’t turned in the paperwork just yet, but young people these days are doing this kind of thing
-treat him well. Can you do that
-H, I can’t even decide which house I can live in
-Oku, you got home late and you stayed out without permission
-I wasn’t going to say anything about which friends you choose
-H, they aren’t anything like you think, Father
-Oku, I’m very busy with my company. Don’t make me do anything more
He answers his phone
-H, hello
-there’s something I’d like to discuss with everyone. Can we meet up
MC’s room
Text from group—meet with Haru tonight
Everyone gathers
-A, terrible…
-your fiancé was him right? He looked like he was going to attack you
-M, based off what Haru told us, she’s going to be taken to his house on October 11
-so we have until October 10
-Y, however if we change your father’s heart, then you’ll be in the care of the police
-you’ll be branded the daughter of a criminal for life
-your life now will probably change
-H, if I build my life on the unhappiness of others, I’ll probably become like my father
-and actually
-I wrote on the thief channel before
-M, around the time we were trying to decide on our next target
-H, but the group didn’t move back then
-that was when I met Mona. I felt like it was destiny
-that’s when I decided, if the thieves aren’t going to do it, I will
-Ma, you’ll help us this time right?
-H, of course. I’d like to have your help this time
-M, going forward, might be taking on an opponent who’s behind the husk incidents
-this is different from training in mementos. Be ready
-R, are you going to be strict with her right away?
-M, don’t be ridiculous. You’re naïve. She’s an amateur. Her persona doesn’t have an actual form
-she can transform of course, and she can do things in the palace. But she’ll probably be a burden
-H, I’m sorry
Go to bed

Monday, September 19
Mission start: change of heart on Okumura and find evidence if he’s connected to the husk incidents

Palace
Can’t put Haru in the main party until her persona takes form
They open that door again
-R, oh yeah about earlier, you were into it. Was that a character Mona told you to be? The pretty thief
-H, um that’s a heroine of justice
-R, are we supposed to laugh
-A, idiot
-H, when I was little, no one around me would look at me
-if they were kind to me, my father would like it and they’d get presents or money
-the adults, my teachers, my friends…I thought everyone smiled to gain something
-Ma, so that’s why you kept who you were quiet at school
-H, but the heroines that transformed on TV were so cool
-they always were helping someone else without reward. And they would smile
-I wanted to be like that. and I knew it was an illusion but I looked up to it
-R, everyone gets into heroes once in their life
-you can continue being someone that wants to be one. Right joker?
1 of course
-SO, what are you doing here
-A, this is something
-SO, I told you to cut ties with those bad influences
-R, you
-H, he entered too?
-M, that’s not him
-I explained it to you before right
-H, the conscious, perception
-SO, what are you saying
-H, I said it to you before right? That I’d try my best for you, father
-this is my answer
-SO, they’re the rumored thieves right
-is that it huh?
-you’re asking for my forgiveness by offering them?
He’s doing everything he can to make himself bigger and better; thought so of his daughter too
-she isn’t fit to be a wife. Take her as your lover
-son, that sounds good. A mistress
-H, so you’re saying that I should become this man’s toy for your personal ambitions
-SO, you’re realizing this now? That’s all you were worth from the start
-Y, using your own daughter as a stepping stone
Haru awakens to her persona
Son transforms into a mech
-son, having a high school fiancée sounds wonderful
Milady stops him
-H, farewell father, I will no longer follow what you say
-SO, I’ll dispose of her. do what you want with her
-son, I’ll have all the fun I want with you until you break
-M, we’ll be taking your bride!
Battle
Defeat him
-H, is he going to be ok?
-A, Mona told you didn’t he
-M, I told her
-F, if she doesn’t get it, there’s no point
-R, look forward to working with you, uhh…
-H, noir
-R, nowaru?
-H, French for black. I want to be a heroine of justice but thieves are not purely just, you know? With that in mind, I chose noir
-Y, she created her own background
-Ma, “noir,” that’s pretty nice
-H, thank you

Palace
Get to the mini-boss battle with the workers
Solve that annoying alpha/omega puzzle
Get to distorted treasure

Tuesday, October 4
Evening
Go to bed
Have a dream where he goes on vacation with the journalist by train

Wednesday, October 5
At Okumura home
Okumura reads the calling card
-Oku, I have to take care of this before it becomes a problem
He calls someone
-I received a calling card from the thieves. Give me the police
-you’re being annoying. Give me the police
Shadow Okumura is aware of the thieves now

School
Can slack off in Kawakami’s class

After school
-R, they found out who they’re going to do it to?
-Y, this pattern is different from up until now
-he even turned the calling card over to the police. What a brazen man
-Ma, either he has confidence that his heart won’t be changed or he was already in bed with the police
-H, from my standpoint, it seems possible
-F, look at this! The comments are going out like crazy
-H, “get him thieves”
-“the thieves are going to show up; do whatever you want. Do it quickly”
-M, they’re just saying whatever they want
-they want to see a guy with position in society grovel
-A, this isn’t a game or a movie
-Y, the objective and the target has completely switched
-R, but we have to go in anyway. We can’t say we’re going to stop now
-Y, his palace already exists. It’s certain that his desires are distorted
-we need to take care of this sooner rather than later
-Ma, either way we have Haru’s fiancé problem. We have to
-R, if we don’t do it, then everything we’ve worked up to until this point will be for nothing
-H, I think this is a good idea. Based off of what my father said yesterday, I don’t think he’s reflected on what he’s done
-M, I agree with Ryuji and Haru
-it is true that I’m concerned about what the public’s saying
-but there’s a chance that Okumura is the criminal behind turning people into shells. We can’t leave it like this
2 I want to know the truth
-F, he’s hiding something. Something big
-H, you’re right. My father’s already seen the calling card
-M, let’s go steal the treasure in the palace as always

Palace
Time to go~
Okumura was working on a UFO in his palace. It’s going to launch
-A, “escape utopia”?
This world reflects his wish to escape his next paradise to politics
-SO, I don’t have time to deal with you thieves
-you can stay there; your fate will be shared with this base
-total destruction
Ten minute timer
Find Shadow Okumura
-R, we’ve caught up Mr CEO
-SO, I’m sorry, it was my fault. I’ll have a change of heart. Please
-H, father…
-SO, you did everything I said to do, Haru. School, studies, hobbies
-now you’ve become so great
-Ma, what’s going on all of a sudden
-SO, do you remember, Haru?
-you cried because I couldn’t go to see your first sports festival because of work
-you stopped talking to me ever since then. I was worried
-instead you stood up on your own. There’s nothing that makes me happier as a father
-H, you still remember those things from so long ago?
-my father back then was absolutely focused on making things that were delicious. He had a dream of making people happy
-why did you change so much
-SO, forgive me, Haru
-if you steal my treasure, it’s all over. Please stop
-H, father…
-please, let’s end this
-SO, Haru, you’re such a
-foolish woman
Barrier comes up around the others
-if you lose, then you take what’s yours by any means necessary
-remain cold and calculating; kick everyone down
-emotion, honor—those are the words of losers
-if you lose the fight because of justice, where’s the happiness in that?
-H, you’re profiting from crushing peoples’ hearts? Who could be happy with that
-SO, better than losing
-I’ll soon enter the world of politics
-I’ll move up in the world. To utopia. My name will live on in history
-besides, Haru
-if you give them up, I’ll let you on the ship
-if you stay here, you’ll be sunk with the base. What will you do
No answer
-foolish
-how about you
-you want to get out of here alive, right
-should I let you on
-you’re at odds with those guys right
-M, so you were spying on us
-SO, you thought you wouldn’t gain anything by being with them
-you were correct
-sell them out! Cut them away for profit
-I’ll give you the switch. After we leave
-is it a deal?
-I’ll wait 10 seconds. Time is money
Anime cutscene
Mona laughs
-M, looks like you’ve underestimated me
Battle against Okumura—30 minutes
Defeat him (it’s funny that Shadow Okumura himself has such low health, and he sends out a lot of minions to protect him…)
-SO, I am the blood of a loser
-I’ll speak to him about cutting off ties (Haru’s fiancé)
-Okumura Foods is finished
-I’m so sorry, Haru
-H, Father…
-R, were the berserk incidents and the husks your doing?
-SO, it is true that to grow my company I paid vast sums of money to crush my competitors
-R, I’m asking if you did it or not
-SO, I didn’t do it myself. There was a contract and I asked them to take care of it
-M, a request?
-then there really is a villain like we thought
-Ma, exactly
-H, who did you make a contract with
-R, don’t cry. Talk to us
-M, shit, at a time like this… hey CEO is there a way to stop that
-we came to help. We can’t lose our lives here
-look, that
Treasure falls down; Mona grabs it
-M, we’ll be taking your treasure
-A, hmm?
-M, tell me this one last thing
-did you see that villain’s face
-R, we don’t have any more time to ask questions
-Ma, we can ask him in the real world
-Panther!
-H, is it ok if we don’t take him with us
-M, you don’t have to worry. If we stay here, we’ll be goners
-H, your responsibility is something only you can do
-that’s something you taught me, father
“someone” shoots him
-SO, my utopia…
Escaping
-Y, can we make it?
-F, might not make it. No, we won’t
-R, Mona, we’re counting on you
Back in front of HQ
-M, we did a good job there
-A, oh yeah Morgana you were normal when we took the treasure
-M, was I
-we ended that without knowing the truth behind the husk incidents. Okumura wasn’t the culprit
-but he said that he requested that he be taken out. That means he knew who the culprit was
-F, mom…
Treasure
-H, what is this
-A, his treasure was a plastic model?
-Ma, what’s wrong?
-H, my father told me about this before he became like that
-there was a plastic model that he wanted no matter what when he was a child
-but no matter how much he begged grandfather, he wouldn’t buy it for him
-R, your father could buy thousands of plastic models
-H, Okumura Foods has been around for three generations, but until my grandfather’s generation, we were just a small company
-and my grandfather was a trusting, kind person. He lent his people money without expecting to be paid back
-when my father was a child, there were a lot of debt collectors that came to the house
-Y, so that’s the pushback
-Okumura continued to seek his own happiness even at the expense of others
-F, whoa
-plastic model, oh my god
-Y, oh this is a really good price. I heard hobby items are like this
-R, how much money are you going to put out for plastic
-H, btw when does the change of heart happen exactly
-M, in the near future more or less
-for the time being we have to wait and see until Okumura has his change of heart
-when he does, I’m sure we’ll find out who the culprit is behind the husk incidents
Office
-boss, it happened just like you said, sensei
-the thieves targeted Okumura and they succeeded in the change of heart
-losing a convenient wallet is nothing compared to the risk of our connections being found out
-Okumura didn’t have the chops for the political world anyway. If he had just stayed quiet
-I’m not missing anything. I asked them to take care of the clean up
-cleaning up some poor relatives and taking care of the thieves? Two birds with one stone

Evening
At home with Morgana
-M, ah, I’ve done a little bit of reflecting
-about if I was as good as others. I was moping around
-I was the one that had the problem, huh
2 everyone has that
-thanks
-the fact I was so focused on humanity was because I wanted a goal
-having a goal is much bigger. Like having a reason to live, huh
-but now that I have a place with the thieves, I have a grasp of what I want to do. You get it?
2 if you want to get your own room
-nah we’ll get that in time
-I decided this is my place. I want to make everyone excited about the thieves
-that means we’re all on the same page now
-I’ll be giving it my all now
-you do your best, too. Don’t disappoint me
Rank 9 with Morgana
-besides, I want Anne to be happy
-if Anne can be happy because of my actions, that will be more than enough
-you’re not thinking, “you’re still going on about that,” are you
-alright, now we just have to wait for Okumura’s change of heart. You guys did well
Text from group—R, we have to decide on Haru’s welcome party
-A, we’re resting now
-H, thanks everyone, I’m fine
-Ma, anywhere you want to go, Haru
-H, I’d like to hang out at the school festival with everyone
-Y, Syujin school festival? I’m interested too
-Ma, that’s right I haven’t decided who my guest is
-F, G U E S T
-is it a famous person
-R, could it be the thieves are on the list?
-should we show up
-H, that’s a little, um
-A, getting too carried away, Ryuji
-Ma, don’t say anything silly
-Y, too shallow
-F, four hit combo on Ryuji
-R, sorry
Go to bed
Velvet Room
-C, what a happy miscalculation
-I, even though you’re on a high, be careful. It’s at your highest when you trip and fall over
Morgana has that nightmare again
-M, sigh, it’s that dream again
-what is that? I’m human
-I’m…
-I couldn’t have been born like that
-ah, it’s just a dream
-if we go to the depths of mementos, I’m sure I’ll find out

Evening
Text from group—H, my father seems strange
-he’s cooped up in his study and he doesn’t seem energetic
-Y, that was the same with Madarame
-A, Madarame had a change of heart too, so don’t worry
-H, oh I see
-I didn’t mean to doubt you. Sorry
-Ma, it’s okay
-F, when you steal their treasure, they don’t stay normal
-it’d be stranger if you weren’t surprised

Tuesday, October 11
Text from group—H, it’s time
-father is opening an emergency press conference
-Ma, when
-H, it’s sudden, but tonight at 8
-Ma, I wonder if he’ll tell us about the shell incidents
-F, let’s watch from somewhere
-Ma, let’s gather together instead of watching separately
-H, at the top of Syujin
-I have some business
-A, it’s been a while. Not a bad idea
-F, school huh
-Ma, Futaba, come straight from the front
-I’ll see you guys after school
-M, where’s Yusuke
-time to go. If he’s still sleeping, he’ll be late

School
Text from group—Haru has a bunch of flowers on the roof. Let’s work on them together

After school
On the roof
Yusuke produced the new flower beds
-Y, the color balance and the placement…I added a bit of style to it
-at any rate, Haru picked the flowers. It’ll be a good flower bed
-F, how about we plant Mona in one
-M, you were all cooped up until recently. How about we put you here to photosynthesize
-H, shall we begin
They work together
-R, party and school festival will be the same. Why don’t we do an actual celebration instead
-Y, I agree. The celebration party and welcome party are the same. So let’s do that
-A, let’s do a welcoming party for Haru
-H, oh you guys don’t have to do it. The school festival’s more than enough
-M, if the star of the party says that, everyone’s going to get less energetic about it
-H, how about an evening party?
-at Destiny Land (Disney Land lol)
-Ma, Destiny Land? You mean that dream country?
-H, it’s a little late, but there’s a plan where you can rent it in the evenings
-A, rent it out?
-it’s the land of dreams though
-H, I’ll go confirm
-A, her thinking is too celebrity-like
-R, what is she going to confirm
-H, oh great, looks like we can do it
-A, destiny land…are you serious
-not just a restaurant inside, but the entire thing
-F, they put the price out publicly. This is crazy
-H, oh you don’t have to worry about it
-my company had plans for it before, but internally got canceled. Let’s put the money to good use
-Y, but won’t we stand out
-H, it looks like the company’s name is on the front, so don’t worry
-R, if that’s the case, then
-we can get twice as excited
-R, so how much does it cost for real
Very expensive……

Evening
At “Destiny Land”
-Ma, so delicious
-Y, ah, the plating was like art
-A, they brought this table for us
-H, if we’re going to be here, might as well eat dinner from a nice view
-A, ah this VIP treatment is so amazing
-just what you’d expect from renting it out
-Ma, no one’s here huh
-F, we’re the rulers of the land of dreams
-Ma, oh is that writing for us too
-H, it is
-Y, beautiful
-F, you’re more beautiful
-that’s what the couples would say right
-A, if someone said that, most girls would eat it up
-M, ah you’re much prettier
-R, you’ve been too excited
-A, you’ve turned into a little kid yourself
-R, Futaba said to put it on, shut up
-F, I didn’t say that
-R, you said something like that
2
-Ma, you guys are so close you can fight well, huh. What a good thing to say
-Y, this is dangerous. I’m laughing too much
-H, I really wanted to see the parade
-it was a little too sudden, so the staff wasn’t able to do it
-Ma, we can do that another time
-R, this party is totally over the top. This is crazy
-H, I’m so glad you guys are happy
-M, you’ve taught these guys too much luxury
-our next party has a bigger hurdle
-Y, you’re already talking about our next party. Isn’t it a little too soon
They laugh together
-H, but, you know
-I got to meet Mona, meet everyone, and everything’s going so well
-it’s a little scary
-M, you’re too worried
-H, there’s been a lot of things up until now. I probably became a little cowardly
-sorry for saying such a strange thing
-A, isn’t it almost time for that emergency press conference
-R, ah, perfect timing
-H, father…
Press conference
Okumura confesses to his crimes
He dies
Haru and MC ask Mona wtf is going on
-F, I just remembered. It was like the time with my mother. It’s the same
-Y, this is the moment someone becomes a shell
-Ma, then why. If that’s the case, then why him
-R, shit, what is going on
-H, I’m going to get going
-I’ll talk to you after I get back. please take it easy
-R, it can’t be our fault. Right
-Y, I think…
-A, we won’t be able to have our welcome party now
-Ma, I’ll contact Haru later
-let’s go home now
At the office
-G, it’s been a while
-what are you looking at
-oh, that
-Sae, this is just a theory
-Okumura bit the hand that fed him
-G, so you’re saying the thieves turned Okumura into a shell?
-Sae, their deal went astray and the thieves didn’t have a use for him, so they discarded their master. To destroy evidence, they did it to Oku
-G, about that, I have something
-Sae, did you find evidence
-G, no, but it’s a possibility that the culprit isn’t the thieves. Another possibility
-Sae, what do you mean? You suspected the thieves didn’t you
-G, I’m just saying it’s a possibility. We don’t know yet
-Sae, we’re going to take a look into Okumura’s house tomorrow
-we have to find some sort of evidence
-by the way, you
-G, yes
-Sae, you haven’t taken a peek or stolen files from my computer have you
-G, what are you saying all of a sudden
-Sae, there’s evidence someone transferred data from my PC
-it was just a small error
-I realized it after we had our little spat last month
-G, so then because of that it’s me? cut me some slack
-Sae, are you telling the truth
-G, as a detective, I know how important your data is—the one you collect on your own
-I have pride as a detective you know
-I thought you were a person that believed in that
-Sae, sorry for being rude
-someone stole data from me
-I let my guard down
-I won’t give them over to anyone. I’ll be the one to capture them
At home
Text from group—A, according to the news, his heart stopped
-R, can they help him
-Ma, unfortunately…
Poor Haru
Time to sleep
Velvet Room again
-J, stand, prisoner
-the master has important things to say to you. Listen carefully
-I, congratulations on getting this far
1 what happened
-I don’t know. However, can’t you feel it? The evil intent of someone
-an unexpected happening has occurred
-if we leave it at this, the rebirth will not happen
-I want to see how you overcome this
Rank 9 with Igor

Rating on the site goes down

School
Text from group—the police are at school
-A, hear anything about it from your sister?
-Ma, unfortunately no
-Y, have anything with Okumura’s death?
-Ma, school and his company have nothing in common
-F, ask Haru about it?
-Ma, she’s off today
-R, then why are they here
-Ma, I can’t imagine
-be careful not to stand out
-after school, head straight home
-please

Haru’s house
-guy, nothing here
-Sae, I see
-g, we were expecting something more than the calling card
-Sae, we’ve confirmed the connection with the thieves. Any more is wishing too much
-thank you for your cooperation
Phone call
-g, they found a calling card in the principal’s office
-Sae, I’m going to ask one more time—did you hear anything about the thieves from your father?
-H, correct
-Sae, if you remember anything, even the smallest thing, please contact me
-H, the principal? I didn’t hear anything about that

Present with Sae
-Sae, so you’re saying you didn’t go after Okumura’s life
-so the calling card found in the principal’s office was someone else’s doing
Yes
-it doesn’t look like you’re lying to me
-if you’re trying to fool me, then you could have used any number of lies other than talking about the other world
-and based off what I found, there aren’t that many discrepancies. Could it be that this was a made up story?
-and I understand the job although I don’t want to admit it
-but based on my information, you set your eyes on Okumura before his name came up in the rankings
-you could have targeted a different famous person
-why did you look into it and aim such a villain anyway?
2 our friend was in danger
-simple, huh
-that’s true. There’s no evidence that another villain exists. But it looks like I can believe that you wouldn’t kill someone
Rank 5 with Sae
-however, due to the incidents with the principal and Okumura, the public’s view of the thieves started to change
-you guys were rushing to show that you were innocent. And your next operation
-what’s wrong
-don’t tell me it’s the side effect of the meds they gave you
-what did those guys in public security use
Started becoming black
-can you hear me?
-hang in there, MC
Ok again
-don’t surprise me
-if you’re actually telling the truth, you have to speak to the end
-if we can’t trust each other, this is worthless
-continue talking
-finally, to your last crime
-you know right
-to prove your innocence, the last person you aimed for…this is the calling card you sent them
-the letter was addressed to me. Niijima Sae.
-explain everything

Evening
Text from group—no one’s gotten in contact with Haru
Go to bed

Thursday, October 13
Text from Haru—MC?
-Sorry for being so early in the morning
-about home…it’s calmed down here. Wanted to let you know
2 are you ok
-yeah
-thanks
-actually, there’s something I was concerned about
-I think I need to talk to everyone
-let’s meet at the base after school
-M, looks like Haru’s ok
-let’s gather everyone after school

After school
Office
-boss, with this we should have our preparations complete
-they’ve raised themselves as allies of justice, and we’ve crushed them to the ground
-the next is her
-I already talked to Icchar
-prepping a culprit for this
At hideout
That bald guy is giving a speech outside
-F, where’s Haru
-R, she called us out so she’ll probably come soon
-A, although she said it calmed down a bit, there is the incident with her father
-what?
-F, what’s going on
-A, it’s written here that we killed Okumura
-Y, so it’s begun
-R, what
-Y, the CEO turned out like that at the press conference that we instigated
-A, but is that a reason to…
-we’ve done so much but now we’re treated as killers all of a sudden
-F, what a turn of events
-R, they don’t even know anything. Shit
-Ma, calm down. It’s not like the entire world’s saying it yet
Haru enters
-F, Haru
-H, sorry
-I know you guys made some time for me
-Ma, must have been tough
-H, it’s fine now
-there was something I was concerned about. That’s why I asked you to come here
-did you guys target the principal
-A, the principal? You mean ours
-H, yeah
-M, what do you mean
-H, there was someone from the DA’s office that came to my house
-her name was Niijima. A woman
-Ma, that’s…
-H, that officer said that they found a calling card in the principal’s office
-after that, she said principal, all I could think of was Syujin
-R, we don’t know anything about that
-Ma, isn’t this too much of a coincidence. Might be my imagination
-but after the incident with Okumura…this seems to have moved too fast
-R, what do you mean
-Ma, for example, what if we were set up by the true villain
-R, you serious
-F, could it be…
-A, if we don’t catch him right away
-Y, wait
-were we really set up? we don’t know what the aims of the true culprit are
-R, then what should we do
-Ma, let’s calm down
-based off what Haru said, it’s not just the public, but the police started to think that we’re killers
-it isn’t safe to move. We’ll have to stay as regular high school students
-we have midterms next week too
-R, a test at a time like this
-I’m jealous of you, Futaba
-Futaba?
-F, hm?
-there’s something that caught my eye. I’m gonna go home and look into it
-Ma, what could it be
-anyway, keep quiet and don’t stand out ok

Evening
Text from Yuki—he’s concerned about the ratings dropping

Friday, October 14
Text from group—Haru can’t talk to us for a while. Busy with the company going crazy, planning her father’s funeral. Won’t hear from her too much

School
Text from group—Y, who do you think planned this
-any ideas
-R, there’s no way
-Ma, if I had to put up someone, it’s the culprit behind the husk incidents
-R, but to get set up, it’s not 100% right
-Ma, they had the calling card in the principal’s office
-A, someone had to have done it, right
-Y, they might know who we actually are
-R, that’s bad
1 let’s prove our innocence
-R, how do we prove it
-Ma, we have to figure out who the true criminal is
-but we don’t have any clues
-R, so that’s how it turned out like this

After school
Text from Yuki—former assassin/mercenary in Shibuya living as a homeless during the day, killing people at night. Deal with him
No time for mementos just now though

Text from Futaba about…something

After school
Text from Haru—meet on the roof?
On the roof, Haru’s tending to the flower beds
Having problems, wanted to talk to MC
-H, having problems with the company. Dealing with everything after the incident
-it was sudden, so there was no will. All the shares of the company went to me
-I’m the head of a large company. 1000 employees…
-they wanted to ask me about where to take their business, and funding
3
-even though I’m the daughter of the CEO, I never had anything to do with the company
-so I’ve been meeting with the employees from the company and the attorneys that we employ
-they’ve given me advice about our funds and our stocks
-there are people trying to earn my favor. I don’t know who to believe
-I think everyone is looking at my fortune rather than looking at me
-they say “it’s ok,” “leave it to me” but I think they’re taking advantage of my ignorance
-I already had a suspicious personality
-sorry for going on by myself
-but now I’m a little calm
-everyone that I’ve talked to is an adult with a company
-what I really need is someone my age who has the same viewpoint that I do
-anyway, if you don’t mind, can I talk with you again?
-in exchange, if there’s something I can be of us with
-for you or the thieves
-I don’t really have any special skills
-how about this
-working with soil, raising plants…I’m pretty good at this
-at our old house, I grew tropical fruit on the veranda. I was quite surprised
-I spend a lot of time here because I don’t have to think about things
-that’s right. In the home ec room’s refrigerator
-we have time until we’re supposed to meet. Can you wait a bit?
-these are the vegetables I grew. I harvested them before
-their shape is all over the place, so they’re a far fetch from what you find in the store
1 will you give it to us?
-oh MC, you like vegetables? That’s great
-actually I have one favor to ask of you
-I’d like you to ask what Sojiro and Leblanc thinks of them
-when I harvest the new stuff, can I bring them to the store
1 sounds interesting
-thank you. If it’s Sojiro, I’m sure he’ll give me an honest opinion
-I’ll make sure to harvest a super bunch of fresh vegetables. I’ll be counting on you

After school
MC’s room
-F, nice work on exams
-R, this time is really bad. I couldn’t focus
Bald guy is preaching outside
-again? Damn you’re loud
-A, so anyway, what did you want to talk to us about
-H, you said something piqued your interest before. Did you find out
-F, the Megido that I took care of? they weren’t the real thing
-R, the real Megido is you right
-F, ummm
-the guys that called themselves Megido after me are different from the ones before
-Y, what do you mean
-F, the code that those guys wrote are totally different from any Megido
-R, um
-F, the code has fingerprints of the person that wrote it. No matter how much you try to cover it up, tendencies appear
-the guys from before, it was all paste and cut everywhere. There was no central line. They were a bunch of peons
-Ma, but there are several people around the world called Megido right
-could it be someone who recently joined
-F, that code is not someone interested in doing cracking
-at the very least, it’s not someone that’s a formal member of Megido. Absolutely not
-Y, so they called themselves Megido to taunt the thieves. What would their objective be
-A, could it be them just doing it for fun
-the thieves, we were just starting to get popular around then. Maybe they’re trying to share with our popularity
-Ma, wait
-isn’t it the opposite
-H, opposite?
-Ma, what if they wanted to make us famous by calling themselves Megido
-R, what? I don’t understand
-F, actually I thought the same as Makoto
-A, what do you mean
-F, I said it earlier, right? Code has fingerprints
-before I found these same fingerprints in a different place
-Y, where at
-F, on the thief channel
-there are some markings showing that there was an illegal access from outside. And things were overwritten
-R, are you serious
-F, the number of people accessing the site has gone up quite a bit since before summer break
-it’s also in the rankings as well. Especially when Okumura became number one
-H, so you’re saying the person that taunted us and messed with the thief site are the same person
-Ma, I think I have an idea of what’s going on
-the things that happened with the site, the challenge from Megido? They were all in the end meant to gather attention to us
-and the big reason why we targeted Okumura was because of what was being said out there and the ranking
-the perfect timing, the perfect target. If everything was orchestrated, then…
-Y, then it would line up
-A, then the culprit planned on framing us for the crime from the beginning
-Ma, it’s just a theory. It’s true that I don’t have any evidence
-M, but if all your theories are on the dot, then
-for the last two months, we’ve been running around on the palm of someone’s hand
-R, maybe you’re thinking too much
-didn’t you say about the Megido ranking
-but then, if all those happenings were orchestrated, then
-what kind of bastard did we make enemies of
-Y, there’s no use worrying for now
-anyway, if we continue like this, there will be false charges against us. They’ll suspect us of being murderers
-H, but we don’t even know who we’re fighting
-R, could it be that we’re still being set up at this very moment
2
-Ma, it’s true we don’t know
-it’s useless getting worked up about it. If it’s true and it’s the work of one enemy, then we have to get back at them
-we absolutely have to find a clue

Evening
At the office
Sae is getting a promotion… the reason is based off of her work with the principal and things that predated the thieves. Getting command of a few people. Leaving operations. Sae is now in charge of cleaning up the thieves. Prepared a nice position for her when they hear the results

Sae and Makoto’s house
-Sae, I’m home
-Ma, welcome back
-dinner?
-Sae, I don’t need any
-Ma, should I ready a bath for you
-Sae, it’s ok. I just came to get a change of clothes
-Ma, staying somewhere?
-Sae, they’ve handed me a huge job
-Ma, you look tired
-Sae, this is when an adult takes a job they can’t fail at
-if I don’t win, it’s over
-Ma, but if you collapse, then…
-Sae, I finally got a chance to make it big
-I heard that the detectives are all around the school. You haven’t been able to focus on studies have you
-you can be relieved. It’ll end soon
-Ma, what do you mean
-Sae, I’m going to catch those thieves
-Ma, that’s huge job you said is related to the thieves
-Sae, it has nothing to do with you
-Ma, so that’s what it is
-sis is looking into the thieves and Syujin academy
-this is bad. I have to let everyone know

At home
Text from group—Ma, we have a problem
-please listen carefully
-H, what’s wrong
-Ma, my sister has been given a big job related to the thieves
-F, which means
-Ma, that’s right. Special investigations have started moving
1 so what does that mean
-A, but they’ve already looked into us before
-Ma, this is a whole different level than the police just snooping around
-R, wait what do you mean by special investigation
-Ma, it’s the police’s special investigations group. They look into dirty government activities
-Y, you hear about them on the news. they’re an elite group
-F, the incredible thing is in regards to big targets, they’ve been 100% for the last 50 years
-if they’re out, it means that you’re absolutely guilty. Strongest group of investigators in the country
-H, they’re going to capture us?
-Y, isn’t their response a little too much?
-Ma, for good or bad, we’ve gotten too famous
-we’ve become an entity that even a sovereign nation can’t look past
-H, it is true that we’re thieves but we haven’t really done anything
Go to bed

Friday, October 21
School
Text from group—the police are at the school to ask questions
-Y, police aren’t going to my school
-Ma, looks like they’re calling every student to do individual interviews
-F, keep the amount of talking to a minimum
-if you make something up, they’ll find out right away
Later
Kawakami says that MC and Anne are up soon for the interrogations. Anne’s scared about it.
-Kawa, don’t say anything unnecessary. Get it over with
Interrogation
-1, sit there
-2, sorry, we’ll get this done quickly
-uh, MC
-ah, you’re the kid that was on probation with a guardian
-I heard you got into it with Kamoshida
1
-you’re a little more hot-blooded than you look
-you have some unique friends. Kitagawa Yusuke and Okumura Haru
-can you tell me this
-do you think that the thieves had something to do with the school
1 perhaps 2 is that the case 3 that’s scary
-it’s ok
-we’re done here
-ask for Takamaki san next

After school
At MC’s room
-H, I was so nervous, I stumbled a few times…I thought I had gotten used to the police asking me questions
-Ma, so they asked everyone the same question
-R, it’s their standard MO. They do it purposely so that they find the big holes
-F, we haven’t put any big holes out have we
-R, probably. If they saw how sweaty my hands were
-Y, but my name even came up
-M, we can’t underestimate the police
-A, wasn’t the person doing the interview kind of scary
1
-his eyes were laughing but not really
-Ma, I’m sorry. It’s all because of my sister
-H, you’re wrong, Mako-chan
-Ma, I didn’t expect this to happen
-honestly I don’t know what to do
-M, we have to work hard to not be suspected and clear suspicions
-Ma, I’m just confused
-R, I can’t blame you for being confused
-F, I’ve been looking into how much they’re actually investigating
-A, I’m concerned about the police, but right now everyone could possibly turn us in
-F, we were so popular, though
-Ma, hey Haru. Could you look into whether your father had any clues related to the suspect
-I know that it’s a lot to ask
-H, not at all. This is not a time for me to be looking away
-Ma, everyone else, be careful how you spend time at school
-I’ve asked you three second years to become part of the school festival action committee
-R, why
-Ma, we’ll be able to gather without drawing any suspicions. And if we think about trying not to stand out as much, it’ll have the opposite effect
-R, ok
-A, I’m in. if I’m free too much, I’ll get a little down
-whatever happens, I don’t want to regret it
-Y, if they’re coming to school and interviewing us, it wouldn’t be out of the question if they came directly to our houses
-I’ll need to be prepared
-M, I know that we have our hands full defending ourselves, but we can’t do anything
-we need to figure out who the true culprit is
-Ma, of course

Evening
Go to bed
At the office
-boss, yes, there was another suggestion. Put out warrants for the thieves and move the police
-and then all that’s left is that
-to think we could use this incredibly cruel method…

Saturday, October 22
School
Text from group—taking questionnaires for the school festival…the students are voting for who to come as their speaker

After school
Student council room, checking the votes
-R, shit, this isn’t the time for something like this
-Ma, quit complaining so we don’t get suspected
-A, Akechi Goro
-this is Goro too
-H, this is mostly Goro, too
-M, when it’s anonymous, it’s even
-these guys sure are eloquent. They all agreed with us up until now
-H, we came to help with telling these results right
-hey MC, say something
1 can you guys actually do something
-R, we’re gathering information on the net, yo
-take a look at this. This is bad
-M, they’re been profiling the suspects
-the thieving actions are fake
-their real objective is to kill people. All the change of hearts before Okumura were just to build up
-A, they finally started saying that our real job is to kill people
-R, it’s so stupid it’s funny
-Ma, the results are in
-first place is Akechi Goro
-R, what, Akechi
-A, what are you so surprised for? We said it earlier
-R, it isn’t a singer or an idol or something
-M, the reason he’s so popular is because of us
-R, we can lie about the results can’t we? We don’t have to call him
-Ma, with this kind of landslide, they’d find out
-A, honestly, I knew people would vote for him. but these results totally blow my expectations
-Ma, I really wanted to avoid calling someone that might cause more trouble for us
-I’ll think about our guest a bit
-H, what’s Futaba up to
-from what I can tell, she’s looking into something by herself. Have you heard
3
-Ma, we need even one clue if we can get it. Let her continue searching until she’s satisfied
-although it would be nice if she could find something

Evening
At home
Goro is on the news
-G, up until now, I’ve said that the thieves are not just at all. However I think that the thieves and recent string of unnatural deaths are unrelated
-host, what do you mean
-weren’t you the first person to ring the alarms about the thieves, Akechi
-G, they are a dangerous entity. That hasn’t changed
-however, to say that they are connected to these incidents is short-sided
-this incident still has too many suspicious points. There has to be something behind it
-news caster, Akechi has said he’ll be making fewer appearances
-So, I wonder what changed his mind
Text from group—F, stuck checking around Okumura
-R, you’re serious? Even Futaba’s given up
-H, what should we do
-Ma, let’s talk
-R, tomorrow?
-A, sooner is better
-but I can’t think of anything
-So, why are you looking at your cell phone so seriously? Is it that? are you breaking up with someone?
3 it’s a secret
-don’t drag it too long
-anyway, are you ok
-I know the police came to school
1
-it’ll be fine

Sunday, October 23
Daytime
At MC’s room
-Y, Makoto, have you heard anything from your sister about the investigation
-Ma, my sister hasn’t said anything about it in front of me
-maybe I missed something
-I was thinking
-about calling Akechi
-R, you serious
-you said we should avoid danger
-Ma, I know it’s dangerous
-but we don’t have any good information and we can’t beat the police presence
-and I can’t expect anything from my sister
-H, could it be that you think that Akechi is connected to the police?
-use him as a source of information?
-M, this is a little daring. This is a rare suggestion for you, Makoto
-Ma, did you see his press conference yesterday
-he said something suddenly supporting us. Something going on behind the scenes
-I think he was looking at us and said it directly
-Y, calling him to a place like the school festival? What are you considering
-Ma, I’m betting
-and the odds aren’t very good
-but now is not the time to be concerned about it
-what do you think about calling Akechi
1 I think it’s a good idea
-understood
-everyone’s ok with this right
-A, I’m ok with it. We could probably believe in it more than anything I could come up with
-Y, not just as an information source, if we could make allies with him, it’d be helpful
-R, wait how would you get in contact? No one knows him
-F, we stole a bunch of information from a detective didn’t we? His cell phone number is there
-R, you are no joke
-H, but then how did you learn my number
-Ma, there I can say that my sister knows it. Then it wouldn’t be a lie necessarily
-Futaba, can you send me his contact information
She sends it along
-I’ll contact him right away
-R, I’m gonna be honest, I’m no good around Akechi
-A, is it really the time to be like that
-M, just think of him as an information source
-Ma, a response already
-“please let me consider it” he said
-R, right, wait a second, didn’t he say he wasn’t going to appear on TV
-Y, that’s why he said let me think about it
-A, what if he declines
-Ma, then we have to double down
-as much as I hate it, we have no other choice right now. We have to ask him
-M, we’re counting on you, Makoto

Evening
Spend time with Tora

Monday, October 24
School
Test results
Text from group—worry, worry
In trouble with Ushimaru again

Evening
Goro is at Leblanc again
-G, welcome back
1 I’m home, thanks
-So, so how’s Sae doing. Haven’t seen her recently
-G, we have differing opinions
News comes on with that bald guy again: redoing the government, etc
-G, villains huh? That’s not who they really are
2 who they really are
-if they were people who indiscriminately attack people, why would they force a teacher and an artist to apologize
-that’s the actions of a single group
-if everything isn’t a result of the thieves, and just the change of hearts are
-even if they are guilty
-what I really want to do might be close to what they do
3 fan of the thieves?
-I felt something special about you the first time we met. I seem to say everything in front of you
Rank 4 with Goro
-ah that’s right. I got an offer for a speaking engagement at your school
-you already know?
-they offered me so I think I’ll take it
-thank you very much. It was delicious
-see you, then
Goro leaves
Text from group—Haru invites Futaba to the school festival
-F, are you ok Haru
-H, I’m ok, thank you
-I’ve always dreamed of walking around the school festival with friends

Tuesday, October 25
At the school festival
-A, a lot more people than last year
-Ma, there might be police. Watch out
-we have to be careful with what we’re talking about
-F, what do you do at school festivals
-look at things and eat?
-M, that is true. The initial members have been around for quite a while. Might be easier to find them
They walk around
Get to 2-D…maid takoyaki
-R, it’s your store isn’t it (Anne)
Inside, sitting down
The normal takoyaki is sold out, went to fish up squid and it will take 5-6 hours
-R, you liar, that’s not the case. Total rip-off
-A, made the maid outfits so real that they ran out of budget
-didn’t put effort into octopus
-R, looks like it
-M, Ryuji, you’re standing out
-H, what do you recommend of what you have
-maid, Russian takoyaki
-then please give us that
-maid, will take a bit of time
Maid leaves
-R, let’s forget about the octopus and get back to what we were talking about
Talking about the various rumors they heard in the school so far
-R, do you think that Akechi accepted our offers because he believes we didn’t kill those guys
-Y, could just be that he likes festivals
-M, we intend on stealing information but then we get set up. if that happened, I’d get really depressed
3 is the takoyaki done yet
-Ma, you sure are relaxed…you must have a big heart
Takoyaki is ready
-maid, freshly cooked
-F, no way, I heard the sound of a microwave
-R, ah I wasn’t expecting crispy takoyaki at a school festival
-what exactly is a Russian takoyaki
-H, could it be they put jam as a hidden flavor? Maybe it’ll be delicious
-maid, um, one of these in there is special
-R, could it be that the Russian is…
-A, who’s going to go after it
-M, is it true? It’s manly to go after it
-Y, I like shapes that are nice
-H, oh no one’s going to eat it? Then I’ll take the special one
-Ma, so you’re going straight for it
-R, so how about you go for the red one
2 ok then
-A, just what I expected from leader
-G, oh everyone’s gathered here
-Ma, the speaking is tomorrow
-G, I was just checking out the location. A lot of people are coming, so I didn’t want to fail
-F, you look like you really want to do it
-G, but everyone realized it so they’ve been asking me questions
-R, it’s because you were careless
-G, to be honest, it was all baseless rumors. I got tired of it so I went to a place without people
-I’ll take this
-H, ah the special one
-G, consider it my fee
He eats it
-A, that’s
-R, it’s ok
-G, oh it’s tasty
-???
-A, eating it all at once is bad
-G, my throat…this is…
-my stomach’s on fire
-A, are you ok? We’ll get water
-I’m fine…obviously…I love spicy…love…love them
-F, I think he’s broken
-G, I’ll see you…tomorrow…
Goro leaves
-A, he has some real fortitude. The way he walks, it looks like it’s an art
-R, is he looking to get a commercial
-Y, is he really just looking around
-there’s something strange
-Ma, I understand that
-hope the information’s useful
-we’ll absolutely do it
-F, that guy, Akechi
-when he came here, he said everyone’s gathered here
-“everyone”?
-you’re just imagining things
Later on
Had fun today, looking forward to tomorrow

Evening
Go to bed

Wednesday, October 26
School festival again
-G, sorry for showing up
-maybe a singer or a mascot would have been better
-I’m not used to being interrogated. Please treat me nicely
-A, how much does he know
-Y, he said the thieves are evil, but not murderers
-does he think we’re the true culprits or did he realize our identities
-R, just get that out of him, Makoto, please
-Ma, let’s see how much has progressed in regards to your investigation into the thieves
-G, really going for the core huh
-without getting into too much, everything is on the TV or net
-I haven’t really tracked them. I still haven’t figured out how they did it
-Ma, I see
-so you’re saying even if you’re a national entity, it would be difficult to arrest them
-G, can’t say that too loudly but yes, something like that
-Ma, thank you for your answer
-btw Akechi, you seem to deny a connection between the thieves and the murders
-why would you say that? you said that the thieves are not just
-what basis do you have to say that they didn’t kill anyone
-G, you seem too used to interrogations. You’re like a detective
-Ma, oh you’ll have to excuse me. I’m quite interested in this, so I got carried away
-could I hear your answer
-the reason why you say they are innocent even though you say they are evil
-H, Mako-chan’s really going at it
-F, she’s attacking him with questions
-G, everyone that had their hearts changed by the thieves have been obviously evil, including Okumura
-then why is it the case that Okumura had to be killed
-Ma, why do you think
-G, that reason at least for me I couldn’t find
-that’s why I think this incident is separate from the thieves
-and if
-if they’re the people I think they are, they wouldn’t kill anyone
-Ma, based on what you said, does that mean the police have an idea of who they are
-G, no the police haven’t made it that far
-however I have people in mind for the actual identities of the thieves
-R, that has to be a bluff
-A, your voice is too loud
-H, he has to be lying
-F, but if it’s true
-G, aren’t you going to ask? Who the thieves are
-Ma, is it alright? It wouldn’t cause problems for you
-G, it’s just a personal opinion so I don’t mind presenting it here
-but it could be
-perhaps you’ll be able to hear the truth before the media or police
-A, the truth?
-F, what is he trying to say
-Ma, you’re incredibly confident aren’t you
-if you’re going to say it like that then understood
-then I’ll ask you—who do you think are the thieves, Akechi
-R, are you an idiot
-Y, no, he doesn’t have any evidence to prove it
-G, the identity of the thieves are people that you all know really well
His phone
-could you give us 10 minutes
-Ma, let’s take a 10 minute break
-G, don’t beat me up on the internet by saying I have bad manners
-is there a room I can borrow
-Ma, you can borrow the P.E. room
-G, I’d like you to come. There’s something I’d like to talk about
-the friends you were with yesterday are here. Please call them
-Ma, you planned this
-G, we only have ten minutes
P.E. room
-Ma, what did you want to talk to us about
-H, no way
-G, there’s a video too
-let’s cut the act. You guys can go into that world, right
2 you can too
About Okumura’s killer
-G, I don’t know their face. They were wearing a mask
-when this picture was taken, I entered that world
-I saw someone else moving other than you guys
-that person found me and suddenly started shooting
-Y, so that’s the one that killed Okumura
-G, probably. And I was almost killed
-can’t die here. I have to find out the truth
-when I thought that strongly, that power awakened in me. then my injuries were healed
-M, this guy can use a persona too
-G, this cat
-it’s talking
-A, that’s Morgana. That’s our friend that told us about the other world
-G, I really can’t believe it
-but it’s the truth. You guys know things that I don’t
-hey Morgana, did you teach them how to change peoples’ hearts
-I’ve experienced that world but still haven’t figured out that mystery
-M, that other world we call the palace. There’s a core of desire. We steal the treasure
-and then the people we steal that from, it changes their hearts
-G, that method. Of course I wouldn’t figure it out
-R, that guy we’re talking about. Thanks to that person, we’re in this situation
-G, I don’t know how they did it, but it’s a similar change of heart
-so make a deal with me. I might be able to save you from this situation
-F, deal?
-G, I’d like you to cooperate with me toward an investigation for the truth
-Y, if we refuse?
-G, I’ll have to talk to the police. Along with that video from earlier
-R, this is blackmail
-G, you can say whatever you like. But this is what I believe is the correct thing to do
-a villain that won’t hesitate to steal someone’s life…I swear on my sense of justice that I won’t forgive that
-H, justice…
-G, you’ve heard that the person leading the investigation into you is Sae right
-the upper guys don’t have the ability to bring this all together
-they want to capture the perpetrator behind the berserk incidents so they can quiet this down
-those guys are pressuring her quite a bit. Sae has to be incredibly anxious
-Y, do you have proof that we did it? How do you intend to show it
-G, even if the methods haven’t been proven, if it’s recognized that you’re connected to it, that’s it
-she can’t make a proper decision
-if she’s pressed to it, she’ll probably make a false confession
-R, so they’re going to make it our fault? They’ll do whatever they want
-A, we didn’t kill anyone
-but we’re going to be arrested
-G, if you get captured, you’ll be found guilty. It’ll be a heavy crime
-R, gotta be fucking kidding me. I can’t accept any of this
-G, unfortunately I can’t stop this flow by myself anymore
-Ma, so that’s why you’re asking for our help
-G, in exchange I’ll let you go. That’s the condition
-more importantly, you need to wash your hands of this thieving business
-Y, what do you think about this deal with Akechi
3 is that it
-G, I understand how you feel. I know it’s sudden and a quick answer will be difficult
-you don’t have to decide here
-if it’s you, I’m sure I can expect a good answer
Rank 5 with Goro
-I’m glad we could talk. It’s been a while since I used my time well
-I look forward to your answer
-there was a good reason for me to come today in many ways
-we’d better hurry back
-can you close up the speaking
-all my business is done now
-Ma, I’ll deal with it
-R, fucking hell. We’re absolutely at his whim
-M, let’s go
Screen goes white
Back to the assembly
-G, sorry but a sudden job has come in
-very sorry
-I’ll need to end this today
-Ma, in the time that we scheduled for the speech, the rakugo research club will…
-G, about the thieves, I can’t say anything detailed but
-but there will soon be a lot of big movements related to it
-please pay attention to it
He leaves
-H, was it really ok to do that
-A, Makoto’s idea got taken over by him
-Y, we intended to get information from him but I didn’t think it’d turn out like this
-R, what should we do. Should we take it
-A, he has evidence now. We don’t have any choice
-R, shit, what should we do
-M, calm down Ryuji
-R, I can’t stay calm, what should we do
-Y, now that this has happened, we have to cool our heads and think a bit
-we’ll have to decide how we’ll deal with this when he calls
-M, thinking carefully huh
At Leblanc, Sojiro’s watching the news
Calling card on the table for Futaba

Evening
The night dance and the festival (it’s like an after party for the school festival)
Haru asks MC to go
-H, when you say “it’s ok” it’s really like a magic word huh
They picked Haru to talk
3 that’s what I expected of the pretty girl
The guy’s asking if she has anything to say
-I have many things to say
-guy, do you think the thieves are among us
-to you, it’d be vengeance for your father
-I’m sure you’re interested in the thieves’ identities, right
-so do you think the thieves are among us, Okumura-san
Looks like she’s having problems
I have to change the flow
1 do you have a boyfriend 2 will you date me 3 I’ve loved you for a long time!
-H, eh?!
-g, here it comes! This is youth! Is it confession time?
-it’s coming from that guy over there
-H, hey…
-g, Okumura-san, what kind of relationship do you have with him
-H, what we’re talking about has changed
-g, ah you must be quite flustered
-I smell big news~
-but I’m a gentleman so I won’t tease the girl
-I hope everyone enjoyed seeing a girl blush! Thank you Okumura-san
On the roof
Haru thanks MC for helping her
-H, I didn’t expect you to say something there
2 I couldn’t just leave you alone
-if you did, there was nothing I could have done
-you’re such a mysterious person
-if it’s with you, I know I’ll be ok going forward
-uh—just kidding
-I don’t know much about my future
-I’m a little concerned about what Akechi said
-but my first after party was really fun. Although this will be my last
-I’ll give you this
-I bought it earlier
-let’s go back
At home, Futaba is outside
-F, I lost track of you so I came home
-M, why are you in front of the store
-F, just cooling my head. I couldn’t gather my thoughts
-was just thinking about going in. good timing
At the office
-boss, media has been really loud recently
He’s pressing Sae for information. She doesn’t have any concrete evidence. He says maybe it was too much pressure for a young person like you. Maybe we’ll have to reform the plan. He’s the one that sets it up so that if they do arrest the thieves, she’ll interrogate them specifically
-that’s what you want, right
-mistakes won’t be forgiven in our situation now
-you may lose your place here
Sae leaves
-yes, it went smoothly
At the café
-F, I’m home
-Sojiro?
-So, when I was cleaning I found this
-this is a calling card right? This is around on the net
-F, you entered my room without permission
-So, I’ll apologize as much as you want after
-what is this
-F, that’s…
-So, is it as I think? Not just playing around
-why are you so quiet
-M, why didn’t you take it
-F, because it was a fond memory
-So, explain
-F, explain…
-So, is it something you can’t talk about
-M, hey, if this continues, Futaba will…
2
-So, I want to ask you plain and simple
-is this real
-did they change your heart
-what is it
-F, mom died, there was no exit all this time
-I was stuck in the labyrinth of my heart
-I thought I had to get out, but I couldn’t get out myself
-So, Futaba…
-sit there
-I’ll listen to what you have to say
They sit down
-F, the thieves helped. They stole the bad parts of my heart
-along with my mother’s research, they changed how I saw things
-So, you’re serious
-Wakaba’s research into changing perception. I couldn’t believe it
1 when did you figure it out
-even when the doctors had given up, you guys were suddenly going to the beach
-at first I thought I couldn’t believe other kids about it
-I was watching a program on TV in the store and sort of realized
-that what happened to you was similar to what the thieves were doing
-F, incredible
-So, I am your guardian after all. I can’t look past a big change like this
-F, Sojiro…
-So, but to think that the thieves’ change of heart was the same as the contents of Wakaba’s research
-a long time ago, I was a government official
-I was like a bridge between the country and the research center that Wakaba was in
-that’s how we got to know each other
-when we were out having a drink, she said something strange
-she said “in the near future I might die in a strange way”
-I just wrote it off as some kind of joke
-but it turned out just like she said
-if anything happened to you, I could never face her
-MC, there’s something I’d like to ask you
-based off your attitude, you know about this calling card
-and obviously you know the thieves changed Futaba’s heart
-could it be that you have some kind of relationship with the thieves?
-the first change of heart incident was a teacher at your school, right
-and the guy that brought the art here was the pupil of the artist that had his heart changed
-and then Futaba
-near all these incidents, you were there. So what is it
1 keeping a secret
-public’s saying there are a bunch of guys that are criminals
-why is Futaba dealing with dangerous people
-F, that’s not it
-I asked them
-that’s why the MC helped me. he stole my heart
-So, you asked? Stole?
-F, umm
-So, so you’re saying he’s the one that changed your heart?
-he’s not connected but he is a thief
-please stop with the jokes
2 what Futaba’s saying is true
-no way, you’re…
-you’re really the thief? You’re lying, right
-F, Sojiro…
-So, so you’re saying I’ve been harboring thieves for half a year
-and Futaba too
-what is going on
-F, I want to find the person that killed mother
-So, killed?
-F, she was killed
-I remembered
-So, stop
-F, why won’t you believe me? are you the same as the other people
-you know it, right? The way mom died was not normal
-you realize it didn’t you? That mom’s research was stolen by someone
-Sojiro…
-So, when she died, I did think it was strange
-it reeked of something
-but what could I do? The only thing I could do was run
-and the result of that is living here and hiding
-the reason I took you in was because I wanted to feel less guilty about it
-because you had to suffer more than necessary. It was my fault
-F, you’re not at fault, Sojiro
-So, I’ve been lectured and shouted at by a kid
-ain’t it kind of funny?
3
-F, isn’t it obvious? The ones at fault are the ones that killed her
-So, I see
-don’t worry
-even if you are the real thieves, I don’t plan on selling you out or kicking you out
-besides, who would believe what you said
-there’s no way they could explain that you’re the thieves. Unless they saw you in the act
-but let me say one thing
-if it’s a fight you can’t win, then run
2 a fight you can’t win?
-don’t you understand?
-if by chance, if you anger the guys that killed Wakaba
-it’s not an opponent that a bunch of kids can fight against. You hear that?
-we’re done with this talk
-let’s eat. Raising my voice got me hungry
-M, I’m glad we avoided the worst case scenario where reported us to the police right away
-but we have to talk to our friends about what just happened
-F, I’m tired
In MC’s room
Text from group—Futaba explained
-R, what?! We were all found out?
-A, are we ok? Did he report us?
-Y, Sojiro really isn’t anyone normal huh
The others realized that Sojiro said “run away” and “government official” so the person behind this may be in the government

Thursday, October 27
News is on. Guy is speaking on the street with speeches. Police issued a special arrest warrant. Offering a reward for information on the thieves—3,000,000 yen.
-So, you know what the situation is right
-even the people that weren’t interested before will be on the lookout for the thieves
-it’ll be every day. Even during school
-why did it turn out like this
1 sorry
-don’t worry about me
-it’s my fault for not realizing. It’s my responsibility that it turned out like this
-all I can do is keep you guys hidden
-don’t cause any problems
-I won’t sell you guys out. As long as you’re here, you’re safe
-M, we’ve done something bad to Sojiro. I feel responsible for it
At the office
-boss, did you see the reward? Perhaps we put along too much pressure
-with this, the entire population might as well be of use
-that is correct

School
Text from group—R, did you see the news
And more

After school
At MC’s room
-R, they put out warrants for us
-with a bounty of 3mil yen? Is this some kind of manga
-it doesn’t even feel real
-A, we finally started being treated as real criminals
-Ma, now I understand
-before I thought, possibly, but everything really was set up
-Okumura becoming number one, our sudden rise in popularity, Megido…
-it was all to make us famous. And then make us go after the CEO
-M, it’s likely that our enemy has intended on framing us from the start after we got famous
-A, so then what did we actually end up doing
-then what about the guys that we thought were bad and we changed their hearts
-Ma, with Kaneshiro, Madarame, it was Yusuke and I were involved. It’s the same with K right
-even if we consider the incident with the rankings, the stuff about being targeted was just last time
-A, they’re sure doing something petty
-Ma, petty? That isn’t the case
-they faked Megido, they hacked the thief site. They even faked a rise in popularity possibly
-they spent a lot of time and energy doing it. It’s probably not just Okumura
-all of their crimes and all the ones they planned on committing with the shells—they planned on making the thieves their scapegoats
-Y, that’s why I told you not to carelessly jump in
-R, so what are you saying, it’s my fault?
-you ended up agreeing with us
-then we had that situation with Haru too. We couldn’t leave her alone
-H, I’m sorry, because I thought of my father as a criminal
-and my head was full of things including my fiancé. If I had just reacted more calmly
-A, it’s not your fault, Haru. If I had just said something when the principal died
-R, shit
-A, Ryuji!
-hitting things won’t do anything
-R, tell me, MC
-why did we lose
-did we make some mistake?
2 we lost sight of our objective
-M, I’m sure that we weren’t like ourselves
-Y, you’re right
-we were concerned with the voices of the public
-A, you’re right. Absolutely right
-we were so concerned with how we were seen
-we’re such fools. We hated those kind of adults, that’s why we started this
-Y, we were so focused on fame and where we belonged, our eyes were clouded
-H, we’re thieves of justice and yet we couldn’t properly evaluate what was going on
-Ma, I’m mad at myself
-F, Makoto…
-R, I know it. I get it
-I know that we were set up. I know how stupid I was
-but I’m frustrated
-I want to do something about this
-M, right. If we let it go like this, it’ll be bad
-but we don’t know who our opponents are. We don’t know if they’re a single person or an organization. We don’t have that information
-Y, on top of that, if our opponent can do something like this, there’s someone very powerful backing them up
-A, can we match up to them
-F, should we just stop
-we might run into something even worse than now
-A, hey what should we do
1 we have to overcome this together 2 haven’t lost 3 have to turn the tables, pick 3
-R, yeah
-if we turn tail and run, we’re doing what they want
-we’d betray everything we stand for
-F, I take everything back. we can’t end like this
-it’s not gonna end like this!
-M, we’ve decided what we want to do. Now how to do it

Evening
Call from Ryuji—sorry for yelling during the meeting. Felt no different than K and the others
-I called them trash but it turns out the biggest piece of trash was me. that’s the punchline. I can’t even laugh
-you’re right, MC
-just have to change now
-I scared Futaba and Haru. I have to apologize to them
-see ya
Text from group—Goro sent a mail asking for their answer. Meet at Leblanc tomorrow to discuss it
Go to bed

Friday, October 28
Shidou Masaki is on the street giving a speech. He wants to be prime minister

After school
At Leblanc
-Ma, you said you want to help with the investigation, but what do you want us to do
-G, sure but first can I get some coffee
-R, stop acting like you’ve got all the free time in the world
-Ma, please keep it short
-G, in addition to the warrant, they’ve added reward money. Seems that they’ve got us cornered
-I’m talking about Sae. I know that you guys are concerned and in a rush
-if you’re going to do this, I’m sure you’re at your wits’ end
-draw attention using the warrants and using the reward money as bait for information. They did a real good job with this
-F, the police haven’t caught onto us at all. They can’t arrest us
-G, you’re right. The only person that’s realized your identity is me
-however, they’re falsifying witnesses and getting ready to set up fake criminals
-Let me cut straight to the point
-I think we should change Sae’s heart. I’ve already looked into it and she has a palace
-H, is that true
-Y, is it to stop the rampage of the investigation departments
-G, that’s correct
-A, but we don’t have to change her heart for that
-Y, just changing one person’s heart. I don’t think we could do that
-G, that’s not the case
-what if everyone around her was kept silent about the forgery
-R, you’re saying the police will do something like that
-G, you really believe in them huh
-their first priority is to contain the situation. They don’t really care who the actual culprit is
-R, they’re fucking rotten
-G, my objective is to find the true culprit. It’s the same as you guys
-however this current situation is incredibly bad
-Y, in the absolute worst case, someone unrelated might be treated as the culprit
-G, the one way to resolve this is to open Sae’s eyes
-if we return her to her senses, she can stop the situation. Her sense of justice wouldn’t allow it
-H, so that’s what it’s all about
-G, the truth will be lost to darkness and an innocent person will have their life ruined
-that can’t be allowed to happen. My sense of justice would never allow it
-R, I can understand how you feel about that
-G, and changing Sae’s heart is also to protect her
-Ma, what do you mean
-G, she’s in charge of investigating the thieves. What happens if she learns about the culprit behind the shell incidents
-there’s a high possibility that her life will be targeted. She’ll be a target to place blame on the thieves as well
-how about it? Will you join me
-Y, you have a distinct focus on justice, but if it’s for justice you’ll even dirty your hands
-G, to find the truth, there’s nothing else I can do
-there’s also one more merit to changing Sae’s heart
-it can be a warning to “don’t touch us”
-if a change of heart occurs with someone in the investigation, they can’t make it public. If they do, then they’ll have to make public their own wrongs
-after that, all I have to do is figure out who the true mastermind is
-Ma, ….
-A, what do you mean
-Ma, he means we’ll put out a declaration that we’ll disband if the true culprit is arrested
-G, just as I expected. How about it? Doesn’t seem like too bad of a deal
-R, what do you think, Makoto
-it’s a well-thought out plan. It’s even set up so that we’re done as thieves
-G, I’m glad for your praise
-H, why are you going to these lengths to do this? What is justice to you Akechi
-G, those awful adults…
-my rebellious spirit is the source of my sense of justice
-it isn’t some big reason like for society or for ideals
-it’s a very individual reason. It’s a stupid grudge/bitterness
-R, you…
-A, isn’t he kind of like us
2 is it
-I don’t know how to say this
-we’ve been pissed off because of these terrible adults
-G, similar huh
-I guess that’s why I was able to ask you this
-will you help me with the plan to change Sae’s heart?
3 there’s not much else we can do
-thanks. I was a little worried on the inside
-if you guys didn’t help me out, then this plan wouldn’t happen
-Y, the thieves will be solved and everything will end OK. It’d be good if this went well
-H, Mako-chan
-Ma, I’m fine
-that and I’m sorry for keeping it quiet, but the reason I joined the thieves
-was because I wanted to change my sister’s heart. I hoped that it wouldn’t become true though
-I’ve known that she’s had a palace for a while
-A, why didn’t you say anything
-Ma, it was such a selfish reason
-but more important than that, I was too scared to investigate more
-G, so how about we go now to look around
-I’ve just started all this so I’d like to get used to it
-Ma, sorry, I have a bit of business today
-G, I see. That’s unfortunate
-H, are you going to talk to your sister about this
-Ma, of course I won’t tell her, but
-Y, you’re having unusual difficulty speaking. What’s wrong
-Ma, today’s, um
-G, so how about we start tomorrow. This is where we’ll end it today
-Ma, I’m sorry everyone
Everyone leaves
-M, didn’t Makoto seem a little strange
3
-I don’t know. Could just be our imagination but
-anyway, we’ll start tomorrow, right? I hope this goes well

Present with Sae
-Sae, I have a palace?
-and Akechi Goro
-so the thieves targeted me because he guided you
-and at the time of Okumura he had already experienced the other world
-I can’t believe it. He didn’t say anything to me
-now that I think about it, he suddenly changed his demeanor around then
-Akechi kept quiet about the most important thing. That the sister you were living with might be a thief
-if that’s true, if the head commander heard this, he’d be aghast. I’m the only one outside this
-so you were certain there was another villain because of all of these shell incidents that you had nothing to do with
-and if you were caught and framed for all these crimes, you’d be letting that villain lose
-so that’s why you targeted me? not to protect yourselves
-the logic makes sense
-if you didn’t want to get caught, there wouldn’t be a guarantee even if you changed my heart
-even if you changed my heart, if you continued your thieving, you’d still be seen as enemies
-then, if this villain does exist, and they tried to set up the thieves
-the next person they target would be me
-is that what you really think?
1 what are you talking about
-perhaps I’m thinking too deeply
Flashback
-wait, MC
-get a hold of yourself
-you look really beat up
-but you don’t look like you’ve lost. Why is that
2 I’m not alone
-unbelievable. It seems like you still can talk
-when you were arrested, the men on the scene said “you’ve been sold out”
-thinking about it normally, that would point to the existence of a traitor
-if everything you said is true, then it points to one possible theory
-as much as it pains me to say this, from a certain point on, from the beginning, I was just decoration
-just the person that would take responsibility for everything
-your arrest was something that someone wanted. It was the breath of someone that was involved at the very least
-if that really is the case, then true justice would probably be on your side
Rank 6 with Sae
-no, I’m hurling to a conclusion
-I still don’t believe you entirely
-that’s why there’s something I want to confirm
-did you change my heart
-what happened from the time you entered my palace to the time you were arrested
-tell me everything

Evening
MC’s room
-F, what did you want to ask me? it’s night already
-M, we’re going to a palace, so I’d like you to look into Niijima
-look into her work ethic or friends, public or private, doesn’t matter
-if we get stopped in the palace, I’d like to be able to set up measures right away
-F, I can look into more
-I can even look into her line of underwear
-M, girls should be saying stuff like that
-please say something
1 stop that 2 you sure are skilled 3 is there anything else…? (hint, hint)
-F, let me see
-who she’s been with?
-M, we’re thieves!
-ahem
-ah, I might be thinking too much about this, but my voice
-it hurts!
-F, it’s the same as always
-M, listen to what I have to say
-there’s something I want you to look into
Screen goes white again

Saturday, October 29
School
Text from group—going to Kasumi Kazeki where all the police are

After school
-M, so this is the court
-from what I can tell it’s a shitty building. So let’s begin
-G, I’ve only met her a few times. But I have a grasp on what she’s doing
-on the 20th she will go to Syujin and Sakura household and do a forced search
-Y, so our deadline is November 20
-G, however, they’ll be coming out in force, so we have to do it before then
-Ma, I believe you. Let’s focus on figuring out the palace
-G, I agree. Let’s get to it sooner
-having people like us here is a little unnatural
-F, oh that
-G, what about my cell phone
Futaba grabs it
-F, ah this is the model I wanted. It’s so nice…
-A, sorry, Futaba up until just recently…
-G, I heard from Sae about most of it
-Ma, ah yes Akechi we should probably trade contact information with the others
-F, ohhh~~
-G, well then let’s work together
Rank 6 with Goro
-F, you got a good personality but you’re a cheater
-Y, I think she’s praising you
-R, what does Makoto’s big sister think of the courts as
-Ma, she often says that it’s “the dueling arena that you have to win in”
-G, a battle huh
-Y, when she says battle, does she mean a match. So maybe a fighting ring
-H, could it be a sports arena? Battle arena?
-G, there are duels or battle outside of fighting and sports
-F, gambling
-A, horse racing…pachinko is gambling right
-R, we played cards during the school trip right
-H, is there anything else
-Ma, it’s “casino” I’m certain
-G, just what you’d expect from Sae’s little sister
-Ma, …
-R, alright let’s get going

Palace
That CUTSCENE of them walking toward the sunset
Inside the casino
-G, our outfits haven’t changed, so she doesn’t see us as enemies yet
-M, this is what I actually look like. I’m special. Besides, if I stayed as a cat, it’d be a problem
Need a codename for Goro
-Ma, what’s wrong Haru
-H, nothing
-G, then how about crow
-it’s the opposite
-if it’s a codename to get figured out, it’s better that way
-A, then we’ll use “crow” in English
They head further in
In their thief outfits
-G, looks like she’s alerted now
Goro seems giddy about being a thief
Shadow Sae is downstairs
-R, did we get found out
-SS, it’s the treasure they’re after, right
-welcome. Whoever you are, I’ll tell you
-it’s no lie. I want to take you guys on fair and square
-don’t tell me you’ll run away
They go down
-SS, I told you didn’t I?
-go on up, then we’ll talk
She goes up the elevator
Follow her to the door anyway
Defeat the “boss”

Evening
Text from group—Goro’s in the chat now
Text from Yuki

Sunday, October 30
Text from Makoto
Mission Start

Rank 1 co-op with Haru
Sojiro makes a meal with the vegetables Haru sent over
-H, it’s like having the bitterness of medicine be good for you

Present with Sae
Infiltrated a big company, had to have connections

Back to the day
Forge the bond with the Empress arcana
Get items from planting stuff with Haru

Monday, October 31
Read in class

Tuesday, November 1
….

Monday, November 7
Finally going into the palace
Go up the elevator to the Members Floor, 11~50
Shadow Sae shows up
To fight her, we have to get to be Number 1 before she’ll even consider fighting us. Have to climb the ranks to be able to battle her.
-M, she’s totally different from the guys we fought before. She’s coming at us not with power, but with plans
-A, to think we come to a palace and we have to gamble
-has anyone done it before
No lol
-G, Sae used to be all about justice. Now that she’s lost her sense of justice, she’s been warped by her desires
was that the reason why her palace was created?
-Ma, I think it has something to do with our father’s death
-she bore the burden all by herself
-she had to work to pay bills, try to succeed in a man’s world. All of this justice business
-it all became a weight on her and likely distorted her heart
We have to get a key to go higher up by elevator
Talk to the cashier first: 1000 tokens and a map. Need 50,000 coins to get the high rollers card. After this, Goro mentions the high conviction rate in Japan: corruption with the police system
Go to the dice game first—it’s rigged. Go to the control room where the win rates are controlled
Get to the control room
-G, I just thought of a fast way we can do this. We’ll take all the goods
-Y, every single one?
-A, can you do that?
-G, if you know how to win
Go back to the dice. Win
-G, Skull, come with me
The others sit down and wait
-Y, it turned out just like he said
-H, It was like magic
-A, I could get used to this
Goro and Ryuji bring all the tokens

Tuesday, November 8
Back to the palace
Go to the slot room
Find the four panels
At the fourth one, Futaba says she set up the big slot machine to win in our favor. But there’s a 20% chance it will fail.
At the slot machine—win
Go back to the cashier and buy to card
Mini-boss
Afterward, Sae has been corrupted by how much she’s pressured at work. Courts are basically a bet that you absolutely have to win. Any method works. Losing is not a possibility even if it’s a false charge.
-G, courts decide how peoples’ lives turn out. To think of it as a bet
-that’s not something I wanted to hear from Sae’s mouth
-Ma, my sister is twisted
-we have to stop her
Up to 51~60, high-rate floor. We need an appointment. Have to make Sae think it’s ok to let us in. How to enter the court
-F, Ryuji, do something
-R, I’m not gonna
-Ma, we can be in the gallery/audience. But how do we get into a trial that belongs to my sister
-G, I’ll take a look into it
-when I find something, I’ll contact everyone
Leave the palace
Back home, text from group—Sae has a trial tomorrow

Wednesday, November 9
At school, text from group
At the trial after school
-H, I’m surprised Niijima can think of this tense atmosphere as a casino
The trial is for a member of parliament that spent his money incorrectly by going on vacation with his lover.
-H, this might be odd to say, but isn’t Niijima busy with our investigation?
-does she have time for this trial?
-G, this trial was set before she was given the duties of heading the investigation. Normally another prosecutor would take on the case
-but Sae is a bit of a perfectionist
-A, how do we get Niijima to notice us
-did you contact her
-Ma, it doesn’t look like she read my message
-F, do we have a plan
-G, not really. I think she’ll notice us soon
Sae looks over at them
-Sae, I thought there was a lot of students. But Akechi and Makoto?
-now that I think about it, she said she’d be coming
-well it doesn’t matter right now
-G, see?
-it’s about to start
-M, we’ve gotten Niijima to let us into the court
-now we should be able to enter the high-rate area. Once the trial is over we can go straight to the palace
-R, don’t get out of the bag
Palace time
1000 coins as a welcome gift. No members’ card to go further in. Sae’s floor is past the door
-Y, it’s a scale. No, a bridge
-A, scale shaped bridge huh
-so we have to earn enough coins to lift us over
Check the machine nearby. Need 100,000 coins.
At the House of Darkness. Win coins here. Participating in the maze. On the VIP floor, the VIPs generally have someone participate in their place and then bet on them. We’re acting as our own participants. Reach the goal, they’ll give us 10,000 coins.
Get to the mini-boss
Go to the battle arena now
Win
Go back to the machine by the scales. Suddenly Sae changed it so that we need 1,000,000 coins.
-R, do you have a way for us to get all of that in one go?
-G, we don’t need to worry. It’s here already
-do you remember what I said the first time?
-coins can be cashed out for the remainder of the card and we can rent something
We can borrow the equivalent amount of coins that they’ve earned already. Earned 10,000 from the maze. Can borrow 20,000. The rate in the arena was x23, 2x23 is 46, and they also have the other card. Borrowing money, cashing it out…basically, Goro played Sae for a fool and accumulated the amount instantly. Now we can continue. Isn’t this a metaphor for how Goro knows who the thieves are and Sae doesn’t…
Up the stairs
Distorted treasure is here. Explain what the treasures are to Goro
-Ma, my sister’s treasure is probably her police handbook
Time to leave now
At home, text from group

Friday, November 18—IT’S D-DAY PLANNING TIME
After school, at Leblanc. Talk about the calling card
-G, I can put it on her desk. I can get in no problem
-M, you shouldn’t do that. using a route that only you can use means she’ll probably follow you
-Ma, I can do it. I can say that it came to the house
-it’ll absolutely meet her and it has the least amount of risk
-and whatever she asks me, I can just say I don’t know
-F, but Makoto
-G, what do you want to do leader? Leave it to Makoto?
1 ok
-A, is this the only choice we have
-Ma, it’ll be fine
-dangerous bridges I’ve crossed so many already, I hate it
-G, please take care of it
-I’ll have to try my hardest in that case
-Y, so where we’re going to infiltrate is in front of the court
-meeting time is 6pm
-A, roger
-H, just as always right
-M, alright, prepare for tomorrow everyone. We’re done for today
Slightly white screen
-M, time tomorrow huh
-we have to do this like we all talked about
Evening at Sae and Makoto’s house
Sae reads the card
-Ma, it was in the mailbox
-Sae, like I’ll actually give it to them
-changing my heart even though I’m not a criminal?
-what foolishness. You just want to erase people that are bad for you
-fine. I’ll just capture you guys before you get to me
-Ma, if you capture the thieves, you’ll be interrogating them right
-in a room underground right
-Sae, why do you ask
-Ma, nothing. You just said that before
-Sae, yeah you’re right. In the special interrogation room underground
-my time will be limited but I’ll definitely get them to spill everything
Shadow Sae
-let’s fight fair and square
Regular
-I have to head back
-although at a time like this, I better call the chief
-once I finish with this job, I’ll be able to relax a little bit
-how about we go to an onsen. Just the two of us
-Ma, sis…
-I’m your ally, sis
-I won’t let anyone get their hands on you
-Sae, you sure are strange
-Ma, a call?
-guess I’ll go to my room
On the phone
-Sae, sorry for calling so late. It’s Niijima
-there’s something I’d like to let you know
-the thieves sent me a calling card
-I need to be on standby?
-and you’re moving the control of the operation to someone else
-no, nothing. Understood
-I’ll be on standby until I have orders. If you’ll excuse me
MC’s room
Text from group—Ma, sorry for the wait. Went well
Go to bed
Have a dream: sitting at a café and talking about life with a coop

Saturday, November 19—IT’S FUCKING D-DAY
Hideout
Palace—go to Sae’s location
She hid the treasure somewhere else. Time to follow her.
-G, so what kind of duel will it be now
-whatever you put out, we’ll win
-SS, if you think you pushed me into a corner, you made a huge mistake
-I just led you here because then I can go all out
-Ma, sis…
-SS, when father passed on, I hated the criminals from the bottom of my heart
-leaving this world because of justice is a beautiful story. Those left over can’t take it
-how much do you think I suffered?
-G, huh, I guess I thought too much of you. I thought you’d say something more elegant
-F, she is going crazy
-H, this is wrong
-SS, justice has to defeat evil. I have to win
-we can fight to find out who’s right
Cutscene
-shall we begin?
Roulette battlefield
-G, we’re going to save her, right?
Battle begins. Play by Sae’s rules or else you die.
-SS, time to bet
The large screen behind her determines what we’re betting—HP, SP or money
System—to figure out which pocket the ball will land in when I start my turn. If my prediction is correct, then everyone will get a bonus. The more difficult the guess, the bigger the bonus.
(SERIOUSLY, this fight + this palace in general. The way the legal system is rigged with the odds stacked against those not in power…oh my god, brilliance)
Morgana asks if you understand how she’s doing it. Pick the second option, then the third
Sae is cheating with glass
Send a party member to shoot the glass—Goro and Makoto will be successful
Sae transforms. Makoto is in disbelief that that’s her sister
Defeat Shadow Sae
After the battle
-SS, I completely lost
-Ma, sis!
-G, you said that to a shadow?
-A, shut up!
-G, I’m sorry
-R, we’re gonna go look for the treasure
-SS, Makoto
-Ma, exposing evil that couldn’t be tried at court, getting convictions for crime that couldn’t be tried
-I don’t think that’s wrong. We’re acting in accordance to that
-but to forcefully search, to bend the truth?
-please remember the feelings you had when you became a prosecutor
-that was your justice wasn’t it
-SS, my…justice?
-Ma, please remember how you were long ago
-SS, I…
-H, Niijima san and my father
-what could cause them to change?
-G, is it because some reason they don’t know themselves?
-Y, we found it
-G, now the investigation will move in the right direction. And you’ll be cleared of suspicions
-this deal with you…it was a good experience
Rank 7 with Goro
-detective like me becoming a thief? Who would have believed
1 will you continue with us?
-no, this will be the end for me and for you
-we made that promise didn’t we?
-M, we can’t stay long
-are you ok
-Ma, I’m ok. Let’s go
-F, wait
-we have enemies! When did they..
-they’re gathering outside
-R, you serious? What’s going on
-Y, what numbers
-A, this is bad
-M, we’ve defeated their master and stolen their treasure, but the shadows won’t stop
-what’s going on? what’s happening
-F, they’re still coming? If we leave like this, it’ll be dangerous
-M, we have to keep moving. The black suits will come down like an avalanche soon. If we get caught we’re done for
-Ma, if we stay in numbers like this, we’ll be found out right away. we should split up
-but if that’s the case, we’ll need someone to play decoy
-no it’s too dangerous
2 give it to your leader
-joker?
-don’t tell me you’re going to do it yourself
-R, stop it, Queen
-he may not say much, but once he says it, it sticks
Ryuji hands MC the treasure
-there’s no way you’ll die
-H, don’t be too reckless
-A, I won’t forgive you if you don’t come back
-M, we’re still in the middle of a deal
-F, they’re gathering more than earlier
-Y, being pulled into a corner
-G, better hurry
-Ma, see you guys afterward
The cutscene from the start of the game
The same fight, but Arsène appears
-Ar, I am thou, thou art I. I am Arsène. I’m glad to meet you again. You’ve done well to relive the memory until this day. On that day in the spring, your anger shook and our power awakened
-now defeat the enemy in front of you with that power
Enemy down
-Ar, your destiny will soon be decided
-remember until the end. The bond that you’ve created with your friends
-if your destiny will continue on here, then we’ll meet again someday
Continue on, same as the prologue
System—time to save
The present

Sunday, November 20—finally, it’s Judgment Day
Same talk
Velvet Room—Igor and the twins warn that my next decisions will determine my destiny
In the room
-Sae, I see
-the end of a hero of justice
-I still can’t believe it. But I understand how you committed these crimes
-I still haven’t asked you enough. But the time I have left is almost over
-I have one suggestion for you
-how about we make a deal? If you help me out, I’ll think about lightening your sentence
1 deal?
-as the person in charge of these incidents, I have a responsibility to make sure this is resolved. I absolutely want to win. Even if it means making a deal
-your plan was seen through and changing my heart was a failure. You won’t gain anything by acting so tough
-you caused disturbances in the country and your actions are a national threat
-it’ll probably be either put to death or incarcerated for life. If you don’t follow my deal, it’s over for you
-what happened around the case and the people around you will be revealed
-in regards to the thieves, answer me honestly
-the person you were with on the first day—Sakamoto Ryuji
-victim of the K incidents—Takamaki Ann
-pupil of Madarame, Yusuke
-kin of Wakaba—Sakura Futaba
-daughter of CEO of Okumura Foods, Okumura Haru
-and student council president of Syujin who looked into me—Niijima Makoto
-they’re you’re accomplices with these incidents with the thieves, right?
1
-so you won’t sell out your friends. Let me change the question
-just high schoolers wouldn’t be able to do these things
-other than your friends, is there someone that helped you out?
-I hate to repeat this, but if we don’t look to lighten your sentence, it’ll be over for you
-is there someone other than your members you had help from
-you’ll talk right
2 I’ll say everything
1 this will be my answer 2 say something else, pick 1 for the bad ending
-looks like you have no resistance to selling out people who are outside members
-to be honest I thought you were someone with a bit more backbone. Criminal of the century. That was a bit answer
Sae leaves
Goro appears
-Sae, Akechi kun
-G, why are you surprised
-Sae, how’d you get in here
-I was in charge of the investigation. I had to ask the chief
-G, if you mean taking command, then I’m the same as you
-I have the right to investigate, to talk to him right
-Sae, so then you’re the one that got the right to command the investigation?
-G, just kidding. My interrogation is one for special security
-this is quite deep down.
-it’s a little rough but no one will find out
-Sae, you said that there was a villain other than the thieves
-G, that was a lie to set up the thieves
-oh I’m sorry. I even fooled you
-if you want to fool your enemies, you need to fool your allies first
-Sae, he’s already talked about his accomplices
-I see. Then I’ll have to try a little harder. I can’t leave without a little gift
-Sae, goodbye then
-G, what a foolish woman
Goro walks down the hall, to the room
-G, will you come with me?
-I’m totally defenseless in front of a murderer
Goro takes the gun and shoots the guard
-It’s thanks to you
-you were irreplaceable for our plan. This will be completed
Looks like I couldn’t complete something important
Cutscene
-you just realized it?
-this is what happens when you’re faced with justice
MC bleeds out on the ground
Velvet Room
-I, seems that you weren’t able to be rehabilitated
-I was mistaken about you
RELOAD
Sae reads off the names of “Everyone” in the group again
1 that’s not it 2 I don’t know 3 that’s right, pick 1 for the true ending
-Sae, I don’t think just a high school student could commit all those crimes
-were there people other than your comrades that helped you out?
-will you talk
1 no other collaborators 2 I’ll say everything, pick 1
-I see
-so you had no members and no collaborators. You don’t know
-you know how bad of a position you’re in right now?
-hear this. There’s one more person. Please confirm. Akechi Goro
-there were reports that he was actively working with the thieves
-could it be that he’s one of you?
1 he’s not one of us 2 Akechi is different 3 impossible, pick 2
-so you’re saying that he was not one of you. Then fine
-fine. So what you’re saying is you don’t want to make a deal with me
1 that’s right 2 I don’t know what you’re talking about 3 ….., pick 3
-in a situation like this, you’re still acting like a hero of justice?
-when you think about it normally, your friends would offer you out and run away. are you going to cover for them
-why won’t you talk about your friends?
1 it’s the opposite of justice 2 it’s wrong 3 it’s a dirty way of doing it, pick 1
-you have to be kidding. You’re not the one who gets to decide that
1 is this justice? 2 justice is with us, pick 1
-justice…
-then tell me. what is “justice” to you
1 to make things right 2 to help someone 3 because we can’t forgive villains, pick 2
-to help someone?
-what a simple answer
-how long are you going to keep up the strong front. you’re saying we don’t have any evidence?
-that’s right, we don’t have any. Who’d think this fairy tale method is real?
-but many people were sacrificed because of this. We have to reach the truth
-the truth…I don’t even know what it is anymore. Because you’re talking about all these strange things
1 do you still doubt me? 2 is it ok leaving it like this? 3 don’t you want to know who the culprit is?, pick 3
-at a time like this, you still?
The medicine’s effect has run out
-are you listening to me?
-the truth serum’s aftereffects have ended. You’re not going to fool me with that kind of bad acting
“Not fool”
I feel like I’ve forgotten something important
-M, did you realize
-that talk about the pancakes?
-if he didn’t hear it, he wouldn’t have that reaction
-Sae, hey
-you hear me right
-seems you’re consciousness is coming back to full strength
-I’m almost out of time
-it’s been an interesting chat but I won’t be able to talk with you anymore
1 are you going to give up? 2 don’t you want to win?, pick 1
-what
-what are you talking about
-yes, that’s it. Whatever it may be, I’m not handling it anymore
-this interrogation. I pushed through to get in this room
“Interrogation room”
That’s right
-M, how’d it turn out? The one I asked you to look into
-what Niijima said. The “special interrogation room”
-then if we can call them there, I think we can do it
-Sae, hey
-hey are you listening
-it’s already time. Our talk ends here
-goodbye
1 do you know this place? 2 did you know it’d turn out like this? 3 why did you come here?, pick 3
-why…
-it’s my job. Don’t ask me something so strange
-fine. There’s one last thing I wanted to ask
-there’s something that was absolutely bothering me
-I was taken off the investigation and told to standby
-and then as I waited, I got a call about you being arrested. An arrest on the scene of a crime that happens with weird things
-that’s all I heard
-you said that you heard you were sold out
-if that’s the case, then who sold you out? Do you have an idea
“Sold”
That’s right. What I needed to do
-M, it’s just as I thought
-to think he’d try to sell us out
-afterward, we just have to hand him over
-we’re counting on you, leader
1 understood 2 hand over? 3 you do it, Morgana, pick 1
-M, that’s good
-hand over your smartphone without being suspicious. But it’s easy to say it like that
-this is the last deal. We’re counting on you leader
-Sae, what’s wrong
-do you have an idea of who sold you out?
1 I remember 2 I don’t remember 3 I’d like to make a deal, pick 1
-what did you remember?
-If you know something, then speak! I can’t handle it like this
2 …the smartphone
-your smartphone?
-it’ll take some time, but we can unlock it
-what about it
-will you unlock it and show me the data?
-M, let her sleep
-that app, she prepared it
-
1
-you heard from Makoto right?
-the true culprit
-Sae, wait
-what are you trying to say?
-what are you saying about the smartphone?
1 show this to the traitor 2 show this to the real culprit, pick 1
-the traitor?
-G, in the interrogation room inside the police station, stealing the pistol from the guard and committing suicide? How about that
-on the first day, the public safety will investigate. In that special investigation room, my job will be easy
-and the terrible criminal that caused a lot of people to become shells will end their own life
-Sae, please
-say it clearly. Who should I show this to
1 he’s not our ally 2 I answered earlier, pick 1
-not your ally?
-it couldn’t be
-so you’re saying, show the smartphone to him…?
1 that’s what I said 2 just show it to him 3 please believe me, pick 3
-believe…
-what are you planning on? I can’t even imagine
-ah, looks like it’s time. This is all I can talk to you about
-this is the last I’ll be involved in this incident
-fine. I’ll ask about it. I’ll follow you up until the end
-those straight and honest eyes…I looked like that back then too
-I’ll bet on those eyes
-I just have to show him, right?
I finally feel like I’ve connected hearts with Sae
Rank 10 with Sae—Niijima Sae has awakened to true justice. Unlock the ability to summon Satan
-…..
-see you
She walks away
-if I show this to him, what will happen?
Outside the room
-Akechi? Why are you here
-G, why are you surprised
-Sae, how did you get permission?
….
-Sae, so you took control of the investigation
---same, same
-G, to fool your enemies you have to fool your allies
-Sae, so it was you
-you’re the one who reported the thieves and sold them out
-G, is there some kind of problem
-Sae, hey Akechi, have you seen this smartphone before
-G, what is it
-this cellphone?
-Sae, it belongs to the leader of the thieves. You need to take a look into it right
-G, I don’t need it. I was working with the thieves
-Sae, right, you were the award winner
-well then
Sae leaves
-G, what a foolish woman
-will you come with me?
-defenseless…
Goro shoots the guard
-it’s because of you, thanks
-you were vital to our plan. And we’ll be able to complete it now
-you were quite the popular group
-that’s why it was a good choice to use you
Akechi showed his real self
My relationship with Akechi has deepened
Rank 8 with Goro
-so you finally figured it out
It appears to be the same ending, but…
Sojiro drops a glass…
Goro makes this look like a suicide and leaves
-G, Shidou san, the job is complete
-Shi, I told you not to call me by my name
-you have to take care of the others
-G, killing children for dangerous murders
-to show a parting of ways, the disturbance will get bigger
-after everything’s gone quiet, we’ll have to show them unfortunate accidents one by one
-Shi, what about retaliation
-G, they’re just a flock of birds. They don’t have any reason to
-just in case, I’ll keep an eye on them
-Shi, I’ll be counting on you
-G, let’s let them live in fear of death as punishment for getting in our way
-Shi, if you find that strange cat, kill it on sight
-G, understood. But it’s just a cat. I don’t think there’s a need to worry about it
-anyway, they should be dealing with the suicide now
-when this is announced, you’ll be quite busy. You’d better get a comment ready
-Shi, looks like I have to ready my response
-what should we do about the special sections chief
-G, isn’t he going to be dying of a disease pretty soon
The boss dies—even me? damn you, Shidou…
Sae again
-Sae, show this to him? what was that all about
-thief Ali Baba? Who is this
-Ali, I am Ali Baba. I am one of the thieves of justice. Niijima Sae, I ask what is your justice
-Sae, how do you know I was holding this
-Ali, Akechi Goro is a villain
-what he came to do was not an interrogation
-he came to kill the imprisoned thief
Replay of what Goro said earlier
-G, how about a suicide in jail after stealing a pistol from a guard?
-right, the guard will be one of ours so information won’t leak. We’ll have to make him disappear
Sae continues down the hall
-Ali, if you meet the guard, don’t believe them. They’re in on it
-I’ll tell you exactly what to do
-save the MC
-Sae, I have to save him?
At the interrogation room again
-Sae, what’s wrong?
-g, nothing
-what are you doing here? Your business is…
-Sae, did someone come here?
-so no one came here
-g, they shouldn’t be coming here
Flashback
-Sae, everything was true huh
-g, what do you mean by true? What’s wrong
-Sae, it’s about Akechi. He was called suddenly and couldn’t come
-g, huh
-Sae, I was asked to take care of it in his place
-g, prosecutor, they asked you too? What?
-Sae, if you stay here, you’ll have to be exterminated
-if you value your life, hide immediately
-g, understood
-Sae, don’t tell anyone that you had this conversation with me. don’t trust anyone. Forget everything
Guard walks away
Cutscene
It seems like everyone went their separate ways to keep themselves hidden. News announcing that they apprehended the culprit. Futaba is in a chat room, “but this timing is too perfect. I thought you were arrested inside the police station…”
The plan was that only Joker, Futaba and Morgana knew.
-R, impossible…just kidding
Velvet Room
-I, you were killed
-why were you killed?
-why did you have to die?
-do you remember?
-because you forgot something in the haziness of your consciousness
-that’s right. For you to escape destruction, you needed to die
-quite impossible to think of
-how did you accomplish such a thing?
-well then, how about we call back those memories that are missing
That first weird feeling was
The day of the school festival
-M, let’s go?
-so you realized
-the story about the pancakes
-if he didn’t hear us, he wouldn’t have that reaction
1 we can’t trust him 3 he’s plotting something, pick 3
-yeah
-when we went to the job shadow in the hallway of the TV station
-there’s no way that was the first time he heard my voice
-this is really suspicious
1 it’s too suspicious 2 let’s look into it 3 let’s be careful, pick 2
-ok, let’s let everyone know
MC’s room
-M, there’s something I want you to look into
-there’s one more person I’m concerned with
-I’d like for you to bug his phone so we can hear him talking to someone
-F, that’s a little difficult
1 we need to do this 2 can’t you do something 3 I know you can do it, Futaba, pick 3
-F, if we don’t put a bug on his phone, then
-M, so you can’t do it
-F, I didn’t say it was impossible!
-ah, I’ve decided. We’ll use this plan
-M, alright
2 what secret 3 so do you know, pick 3
-of course I do
Futaba whispers to MC
Futaba’s going to act a little bit…?
-F, I’m looking forward to it. I want to do it
In the interrogation room
-Y, I see. Use this place
-Ma, it’s do or die
-F, it’ll work. They don’t know
Velvet Room again
-I, it seems you remembered
-the game isn’t over yet
-there’s still something you must do
My mind is clear
That’s right
What happened to me at that moment…
Goro walks away from the MC’s death
Guard disappears as a shadow
MC is ok

Monday, November 21
-Sae, are you ok
-don’t fall asleep until we get there
-can you hear me?
Might be because of the medicine out of my system, but the memories I forgot are coming back
-Ma, can you hear us?
1
-M, to turn this situation on its head, we need to talk now
-Ma, it’s just as the conversation that Futaba intercepted from his cell phone. Akechi is up to something
-R, this is not just up to something
-Ma, he was the one who tried to set us up. he’s the one causing the shell incidents
-the reason he asked to fight with us is so that he could make the crimes our fault and to kill you, MC
-if we go into my sister’s palace like he suggests, we’ll be ambushed by a group of police
-Y, this is the first time I ever felt real cold shivers
-and to arrest us, he’s sending a squad of police to the palace in reality
-Ma, he’ll get all 8 of us into one place. He’ll get a lot of people to come
-he’ll probably bring special cars and equipment as well
-A, to frame us for these crimes? It really was orchestrated for quite a while
-M, having us crush a fake Megido. Forcing us to get carried away. having us target Okumura and killing him at the same time we change his heart
-H, I saw the culprit my foot, it was him!
-R, in spite of being a murderous demon, he was playing the detective next to Makoto’s sister
-let’s turn in that bastard Akechi. The recording we got, that’s evidence isn’t it
-Ma, no, we can’t. Akechi is the one that commits the crimes. The real mastermind is the one he was talking to on the phone
-this mastermind is incredible enough that he can take the steps to kill a suspect inside a police building
-Y, if we don’t stop him, Akechi will continue on a rampage everywhere
-H, but is there a way to figure out who the mastermind is?
-Y, at this point, getting Akechi to say it is the only way. However if we force him to say it, we’d end up the same as if we reported him to the police
-Ma, actually we don’t have to do that
-the reason the mastermind hasn’t had us killed right away is because we’re valuable to frame for the crimes
-when he thinks that’s not possible anymore, he’ll dispose of us
-R, we have to accept his offer of fighting together
-A, but if we go to the palace like he says then MC will be arrested, and in the prison, Akechi will…
-F, palace
-palace
-Ma, actually there’s something I wanted to talk to you guys about
-F, that’s it. Palace
-A, what’s with you suddenly
-F, there is one way
-there’s one way to let him get away with it and not get targeted by the mastermind and still find out who he is
-H, really
-F, if he wants to kill us, let him do it
-inside the palace
-Ma, so you’re thinking of letting him kill MC in the collective unconscious right
-F, that’s right
-Ma, looks like that’s the only way
-listen everyone, I have an idea for a plan
Back to the present, news is on. Since the death of their young leader, the thieves have been completely silent. The police are continuing their investigation to reveal the truth behind these incidents
-Sae, I’m sorry for being late. I had to finish my job. How are the kids
-So, they’re waiting upstairs. Tell them to come down here
-Sae, I’ll bring them
Everyone
-H, you’re the big sister
-Sae, I heard about it from Makoto
-I’m sorry for causing so many troubles during summer, Futaba
-F, it’s all done with
-R, that fucking detective
-So, I’ve brought him
-R, you son of a bitch!
-A, are you doing ok?
1 I’m doing ok 2 I died once 3 I might be a ghost
-but you have feet
-Ma, just looking at your face makes me relieved
-R, that idiot Akechi. He probably hasn’t realized he’s been duped
-So, anyway how’d you guys do it
-you’re dead
-Ma, you don’t know?
-I heard that my sister brought him here
-So, she said she was bringing him by taxi and needed to hide him
-this was after it was announced that he died. My eyes were going to roll back
-Sae, we had to get it done with fast
-R, we should tell Sojiro about this
-Ma, it was a plan to make them think the leader of the thieves had died
-So, huh
-Ma, the enemy killed a fake in the other world
-So, wait what
-enemy? Fakes? What the heck are you guys talking about
-Y, there’s a true culprit that tried to frame us. This is to figure out who he is
-So, a true culprit
-oh I see. So you guys are fighting someone
-Sae, Akechi Goro
-you guys know that he was a traitor before, then. Right?
1 that’s correct 2 he was too suspicious 3 he made a mistake, pick 3
-A, he was the one that gave us a chance to counterattack
-he made a vital mistake
-Sae, then you could have said that Akechi was the true culprit from the beginning
-Ma, didn’t want to put that out
-we couldn’t have you being wary of Akechi
-besides, you and the interrogation person wouldn’t believe us
-Sae, you’re right
-that’s true. Akechi was touting the rest of the thieves. I or anyone else wouldn’t have believed it
-so in that case, you played Akechi. That’s quite frightening
-So, no good. I can’t keep up
-that mistake that Akechi made. What was it
-A, he made a mistaken comment about Morgana’s voice
-So, our cat?
-A, Morgana can talk
-So, I’m sorry was I supposed to laugh
-H, sorry, it’s actually true
-Sae, could it be that he actually just said something
-A, you can hear it right? Everyone was the same at the start
-F, Mona of the other world talks like normal
-when you actually notice that and think ah Mona can talk, if you can understand that, then you can hear him in the real world
-it’s the change in perception probably
-A, Akechi has really bad acting, so he found out
Sojiro and Sae can’t hear Morgana
-R, Akechi during the school festival said it was the first time he heard Mona speak
-but a long time ago, he saw him say something before
-M, oh I like that place. When we were coming here there was a place that looked like a giant pancake
-G, was I wrong? I heard something about a delicious pancake
-R, the only person that said “pancake” at the time was Mona
-which means that at that point, Akechi had already gone to the other world
-A, he lied about that, so we figured he had something going on when he contacted us
-M, thinking about it now, it’s a little strange. That was his honest reaction
1 just a little coincidence
-however, we weren’t too amateurish enough to let that coincidence go
-H, so that’s why we asked Futaba to bug him
-F, I pretended to look at his phone and then I put an app on it
-my heart was beating like crazy though
-Y, not even a famous detective would think so
-we used Futaba’s slightly weird character very well
-F, it was acting
-so we stuck with it for a few days and we found evidence that he was the traitor
-G, so then I’ll bring the police to the palace and arrest the thieves in the midst of their crime
-with their methods, once we’ve caught them, I’ll take care of them
Same thing as before
-So, are you serious
-Sae, they planned on dealing with him from the beginning
-G, the day after we arrest him, the thieves are done
-send out the information that the criminal causing all the shell incidents ended his own life
-and then you will become a hero. And so will I
-Sae, I thought he seemed a little strange but I didn’t think it’d go this far
-H, he wasn’t the detective of justice. He was the one that committed the crimes that caused people to become shells
-Ma, and behind Akechi there’s someone
-he holds a lot of power. Enough so that he can ask someone to commit an assassination inside the police building
-so that’s why we set up a plan before they could go ahead with theirs
-So, I see
Loading screen…
-Ma, we called Akechi to my sister’s world and then we had him kill a fake MC to fool his senses
-Sae, could you tell me about that more in detail? What happened inside me?
-H, sorry for using that without your permissions. We had all the conditions to deceive them
-Sae, conditions?
-Ma, first off, we needed a place in the collective unconscious that was exactly like the real world
-R, that world is based off the real world. If it’s not distorted, it’s the real thing
-A, so when you enter that place, you don’t realize it. Except for the person that activated the app
-R, during the incident with K, I entered from the station without knowing it
1 how nostalgic 2 it’s like we entered a place we didn’t know 3 up until school it was the same
-if there’s no distortion, you probably can’t tell the difference
-Y, when we accepted the idea for Makoto’s plan, we had already investigated Sae’s world
-M, that was a quick plan
-even if we didn’t understand it, we had to go along with it
1 it was a good idea
-just as you expect from our tactician
-Y, Makoto’s usually so calm. She wasn’t like normal
-Ma, I really wanted to stand up to Akechi as well
-anyway, my sister was the target, so I couldn’t stand by
-the entire reason I joined the thieves was to heal my sister’s heart
-Sae, all I could think about was work. Yeah, that was wrong of me
-I’m sorry I didn’t spend time to understand
-Ma, that’s the case for both of us
-H, we heard that you were going to be interrogating him from Makoto
-Sae, so you learned about the interrogation place from the data you stole from me right
-Ma, I’m sorry
-Sae, please continue
-Ma, we investigated the other world and found out two things
-inside the building near the interrogation rooms, we didn’t run into any enemies and didn’t change to our thief clothes
-the other thing was that the room itself and the details were indistinguishable from the real thing
-A, when Makoto heard that, she looked around and did some experiments while making sure Akechi didn’t find out
-Ma, and there was one more thing we absolutely needed
-in the other world interrogation room, we needed MC in the other world to appear where you couldn’t tell the difference between the other two
-Y, of course he hadn’t been arrested yet so he wasn’t in the interrogation room
-Ma, but when we saw the customers at the casino and the police, we were sure it’d be alright
-wherever we looked, all we could see were people that looked like the real thing
-R, from there on we deceived Akechi as we went to the palace
-Ma, when we defeated my sister’s shadow, it was as we had planned
-when we encountered the police ambush that we hadn’t expected, we switched gears
-we couldn’t carry out the treasure that we were after
-but that was the act
-we brought an empty attaché case to begin with and pretended we were taking the treasure
-A, we did something to make sure the police would absolutely try to ambush us
-and he took the bait as we thought
Loading…
-Ma, until he was captured by the police, it was as we had planned
-Sae, I interrogated him without knowing anything
-but how did you lead Akechi to the other world’s interrogation room
-F, if we find the coordinates we can do it
Futaba used a laptop to activate the other world navi from a remote location
-Y, Akechi killed the fake and then left feeling good about himself
-looking at it from our leader in real interrogation room, he burst out laughing
(((I’m having major déjà vu right now))))
-he was kicking back in a room that no one had come to and it was quiet
-Sae, so that’s why you asked me to take the cell phone. I took it because I was moved by your words
-Y, it’s unfortunate I couldn’t see it with my own eyes
3 just glad I wasn’t killed
-Sae, just trying to figure out the message I suddenly got on the cell phone took all I had
-oh no
-so you’re saying for a second I was in the other world too
-Y, if it’s for a short time, the person themselves can enter their own palace. It’s an ironic plan based on our own experiences
-H, there was one other reason why we entrusted the phone to you
-it was for you to follow Ali Baba’s message so you could fool the guard and get him out of there
-if we had you head back to the interrogation room, we could return you from the other world and get two things done at the same time
-F, you were in a sudden rush to head back that I had to think of something so that you wouldn’t accidentally run into Akechi who came back from the assassination
-Sae, I can’t believe it
-to think that such a big operation was done inside me without me knowing it
-A, convincing you during the interrogation went really well
-even though we knew what Akechi was doing, that was the point we were concerned about
-Ma, right
-So, what do you mean
-Ma, if we didn’t make allies with my sister, Futaba’s plan and our escape plan wouldn’t have worked
-convincing her was the biggest part of our battle
-we couldn’t talk to my sister before then. It was a one shot in the middle of interrogation. Do or die bet
-Sae, but to think that in that short amount of time that you could get me, you really had confidence didn’t you
1 I had confidence 2 I didn’t have confidence 3 because of the medicine, I didn’t remember
-so it was an honest to goodness do or die bet? Oh wow
-anyway, you did a great job in that situation
-Ma, if we could tell you about the true culprit’s plan, we thought you could figure it out yourself
-that the leader of the thieves could tell you the truth, and that the evil you were chasing was elsewhere
-Y, in the end we won magnificently
-Sae, so you kept it a secret from me to catch the true culprit
-Ma, that and you at the time were going on a rampage
-Sae, ah you got me totally beat. All I feel like doing is laughing
-So, I understand that Akechi killed the fake
-but what happened to the body
-Sae, the police didn’t check the body
-So, what
-Sae, they had collaborators with the morticians that would make it so that they could fake it being a suicide
-those investigators don’t really look into suicide scenes. So the fake paperwork went through immediately
-So, so the evil has its reach that far
-Ma, collaborators and bugging, we figured that
-Sae, I understood based off Futaba’s message and the guard’s nervousness
-the upper echelons of the police didn’t know anything, so it was buzzing like a hive of bees
-and in the end, it turned out just as Akechi had planned. A suicide in jail was reported
-A, behind all of that, we used Niijima’s power to get him out
-Sae, I faked the morgue not having a body there. So I don’t think they know he’s alive
-Ma, the torture he faced during the interrogation was awful
-they used violence and drugs like it was nothing. It was crazy
-if he had lost consciousness and couldn’t tell you about the cell phone, he would have been killed
-I’m really glad you came back MC
2 was pretty dangerous
-Sae, I was a collaborator
-A, when we saw the report about suicide, we were panicked
-H, we were trying to live a normal life so there would be no suspicions during the interrogation
-but honestly we were all really worried inside
-R, for me when I saw that, I knew we had succeeded
-Y, I wanted to believe that too, but you know
-M, Ryuji’s an airhead and kind of slow
-R, shut up, cat
-A, we waited until everything cooled down. I’m really relieved
-Y, even though we knew you were alive, we couldn’t relax until we saw you in person
-Sae, now that I think about it, the fact that I was given the chance to interrogate you was because of the procedure around making me the head investigator
-interrogating a prisoner that was slated to die, what a joke. They wanted to avoid me being loud later
-that’s fine. From now on I’ll help you as much as I can
-you’ve helped me out
-A, ah that’s reassuring
-So, I’ll help as much as I can as well. Just say the word
-how about we take a break. This old man’s head is really tired
-oh, and if you guys want to get together and talk, you can use the first floor too
-you need a safe base to talk about things right? Just say something and I’ll close up early
-A, are you sure it’s ok
-So, we have guys that can’t go outside carelessly. Even down here no one will be able to hear anything you say. You should be fine
-besides, it’s not like I’m going to lose a lot anyway. It’s not that busy
-Y, let’s take him up on his offer. He really is an amazing person
That segment of the story is over
-Shi, MC
-I’ve heard this name somewhere before
-G, it’s me Akechi
-Shi, come in
-G, that’s the death report for the main criminal. Some kind of problem?
-Shi, nothing at all
-anyway, thank you for your work at the police station
-G, the special sections chief has died of a brain aneurism
-Shi, we had him doing a lot of things in regards to faking evidence
-we should pay respects properly
-G, it was thanks to him that I was allowed into the interrogation room
-Shi, the police are in a state of confusion due to his death. After the election I’ll take my time and decide
-G, these wonderful thieves. Thanks to them, we’re heroes
-Shi, our nuisances are gone. I’ll win this election for sure
Leblanc
News is on, talking about the election. Starts next month
-Ma, let’s start again
-R, now that the thieves are back together, it’s time for our counterattack. We’re going to get Akechi and that mastermind
-So, do you know who the mastermind is
-F, that idiot Akechi was so relieved after killing that he spilled it
-“Shidou” is what he said
-R, Shidou. I think I’ve heard it somewhere
-Y, if he has influence inside the police, he must have a lot of power
-So, Shidou Masayoshi?
-A, Masayoshi?
-Ma, I believe he’s a politician. He’s the guy who Ryuji said his speeches are too loud
-Sae, Shidou? That is a possibility
-H, do you have any proof
-Sae, nothing physical. However a lot of the things match up
-first off thanks to the berserk incidents, the reputation of the current government has taken a hit
-he’s taken an opposite stance against the thieves. Recently he’s gotten popular
-if he wins the election, he’ll become prime minister
-Y, so he set us up for this election
-Sae, if he’s the mastermind, his public image is the total opposite
-So, Shidou huh
-I had a feeling that he was involved with this
-my last job
-probably Shidou was the one who crushed Wakaba’s research and stole her documents
-I was pretty certain that he was involved with Wakaba’s death
-I couldn’t do anything so I chose to protect Futaba
-F, say that sooner, man
-So, you guys would have gone after him if I had
-he would have fought back and he kills people who gets in his way
-Sae, I was looking into those incidents. I found several people that had information about it. Sojiro was one of them
-I can’t believe that all of this is connected
-So, seems like Shidou wanted to become PM a long time ago but no one believed in him
-A, what would happen to the world if he became PM
-H, check the navi
-R, there it is! Well of course there’s one
-Y, this place
1
-R, this is our next target. Shidou Masayoshi. Everyone agree?
-all, yes
-Sae, that app was what took them to my palace, right
-So, seems so
Found the palace. It’s the parliament building. Going to go after him before the end of the election and before the fact that they covered up MC’s death
-R, what will you do about school? Everyone thinks you’re dead
-A, Kawakami said that MC went back home because of an incident
-R, gotta get not found out
So they use the MC’s supposed death to fool their enemies. Have MC suddenly appear later. He can say, “I escaped. I didn’t commit suicide. They tried to kill me”
-So, you guys thought that far ahead
-R, we’re the intellectual types
-Sae, so that’s why you needed a dangerous trick like getting caught and dying
-you’re all crazy
Loading…
Shidou met Akechi two and a half years ago. Akechi came to Shidou saying that he had a special power. By coincidence, Shidou was reading about Wakaba’s research and believed him. Otherwise, Shidou would have dismissed it as bullshit. Akechi stopped a guy that was messing with Shidou, so there was no scandal. Shidou’s been using Goro for these political movements, so then used the thieves to cover up all the deaths. To keep suspicion away from Shidou
-G, the birth of a charismatic detective (he winks…)
-Shi, able to keep a clean image with the people
Plans to rule the world…the chosen one, crazy reformations
-G, thinking about the future
At home
-M, you can’t go to school
-you don’t have to worry about. It’s nothing compared to everything else
-besides, we can figure out our plans now
-whether we let Shidou live or die, it doesn’t matter to me
-but when I think he’s your enemy, for some reason I think of him as my enemy
-I’ll see this through to the end with you
Sojiro and Futaba are here
Futaba used the app she put on MC’s phone and Goro’s phone at the same time. When Sae showed the phone to Goro, that’s how Futaba got the right timing to turn on the palace.

Text from Kawakami—I explained to the homeroom that you went to your actual house
-that’s a lie isn’t it
Yes
-thought so
-you’re planning something with Sakamoto, aren’t you
-don’t cause any trouble
-and remember to study at home
-if you call and ask me to come to your room, I still will
MC’s not in class
Text from Yuki—hey it’s a lie right? If you’re alive, respond
1 it’s ok
-oh you’re safe
At room, text from group—need to find out the keyword to Shidou’s palace, and these incidents since April were his doing but made to look like accidents. Go see him in person
After school, go to the parliament building
-Ma, we’ve entered “Shidou Masayoshi” and “parliament building” into the navi
-R, what about “mount Fuji”
-A, “mansion”
-H, how about “school”
-Y, “coliseum”
-F, “palace”
-Ma, no good
-R, could it be the entire palace is guarded by a barrier
-maybe there’s an ability to do that. he stole the research
-M, I don’t know
-F, nothing in the notes that I saw talked about that
-R, what kind of person is Shidou
-Y, I looked into it but nothing comes to mind
-A, I’ll go ask one of the parliament members
-I’m with the school newspaper, just wanted to ask something
-g, yes?
-A, what do you think of Shidou
Guy only says nice things
Anne comes back
-Y, there’s police
-R, better get going
Back at the café
Shidou talks a lot about how much positive change he wants to enact, but it’s bullshit
-So, everyone’s too easily deceived
Text from group—R, looked around the net for interviews with Shidou but all I found were lies
-Y, news 53 said he left the current party and made a new political party called the Future Federation
-he’s also a minister
Go to bed

Wednesday, November 23
Everyone meets at the café
-H, the last one we tried was “diamond mine”
-R, how many have we gotten wrong
-Y, maybe there really is a barrier
-R, yeah?
-A, you’re not supposed to be happy
-M, all we know is the parliament
-Sae, so that navi is what makes this work
-R, master, could you turn on the TV
Goro is on the news. Everyone’s on his and Shidou’s side. On the thief channel, there’s no requests for them to come back to life
-A, they’re manipulating information by using the media!
-Y, even if we pay back Akechi, we still have to deal with Shidou
-H, has there been a case where you didn’t know that the palace’s keyword was
-A, during Futaba’s instance
-Ma, we didn’t know anything about Futaba and we had to guess
-F, why don’t we go meet Shidou
-H, we’d probably get surrounded by the special police
-Y, high schoolers can’t get an appointment
Look at Sae
-Sae, there’s no way I could do it. It’d be too dangerous
Shidou is outside the café giving a speech
That voice…
I think I remember him from before
A few of the party leaves to go see Shidou—Ryuji and Haru go together
-M, go follow them
People outside say nice things about Shidou
-R, hey, Shidou
-I want to talk to him
-g, he’s busy
-R, aren’t you supposed to be listening to the voices of the people
-g, cut that out, brat
-R, we met at the hotel before, at the elevator
-g, what are you talking about
-M, idiot
-H, stop this
-R, but they’re…
-Shi, hey, troublemaker
-if you stand up to me, you know what’ll happen right
I realize who he is now
-what’s with you
-leave the kids alone. We’re headed to our next appointment
They leave in their cars
-R, damn trash. What do you think now that you’ve seen him in person
1 it’s the guy from the incident I got involved with
-that thing you told us about before?
-the same person? Are you serious
-H, is that true
-M, that Shidou is the guy you want to take revenge on?
-R, I can’t believe it. Is this for real
-H, let’s go
Back at Leblanc
-A, you’re saying Shidou is the one who set you up?
-Y, what kind of luck is this
1
-Sae, so you’re saying that Shidou who was already a politician at the time went out of his way to crush a kid
-he must have done something to make sure his name didn’t get out
-Y, whatever that may be, he’s the one that planned that assassination inside police HQ
-So, he’ll crush anyone
-R, this guy’s a real piece of shit
-Ma, he’s like two totally different people
-H, he wants to make Japan the number one country in the world
-So, he’s always looking to make his way up. he only sees weak people as stepping stones
-A, he’s the worst for it
Going back to the diet building tomorrow to try again
Go to bed

Thursday, November 24
Text from Shinya—are you ok
Yes
Eating, text from Toranosuke—are you ok
After school
Parliament building
-Ma, the security looked at us suspiciously last time. We can’t stay for long
-F, but we haven’t had any hits
-R, could it really be a barrier
-Y, where’d your energy go from yesterday
-R, we’re at two outs in this bat
-A, stop talking about useless things. Focus on the keyword
-Ma, if the citizens come second, he doesn’t care. He wants to become PM
-M, hey MC can you think of anything
Flashback to Shi talking about his boat
-M, boat?
2
-F, anyway there’s no barrier
-R, oh shut up. let’s go inside
-Y, are we ok with this
In the palace
-R, doesn’t look like anything changed
-A, something changed about Mona
-F, so this is the palace
-R, let’s look around
The parliament building is on a ship sailing through Tokyo
-H, even if this country sinks, Shidou will stay above and continue on
Goro has probably seen this before and he’s still helping Shidou
-M, a palace where the entire country is sunk
-are there really people that have such large ambitions?
1
-Ma, we have until December 17 before the elections
Go inside the building
-A, it’s a masquerade
Mini-boss
Upstairs
-R, this giant gate seems suspicious. What’s beyond it
-F, there are places where you put keycards in. you need five
-Shi, 475-for, 0-against
-R, representatives chamber?
We need to figure out how to be seen as allies to get past the door. Talk to the passengers to find out.
Go talk to each party member milling about in different areas
Haru’s reminded too much of her father’s lavish parties
Everyone hears information about certain people, but they’re not sure yet if it’s useful
Anne overhears talk about a VIP area
Check the information shelf to get a map; everyone congregates again
Find the safe room
-M, I’m so impressed with the people in this palace
-even talking to them, I can’t tell that they’re not real people
-my ability to see through people and attention to detail is most better than most
We have to get the invitations that the five VIPs have
Some guy named Oedo is often seen at the restaurant
One is often by poolside
-Y, one of these VIPs is the president of the TV station
-always at the slot machines
-F, the president of an IT company
-always cooped up in his room
-M, someone who takes care of troubles is another one
Go back to the entrance and leave for now
At home, text from group
Go to the room
Call from Ryuji

Friday, November 25

Also, on 11/13, 11/14, 11/15, 12/8, and 12/9 there will be an influenza epidemic. Save in the save room, and go wait for a reaper. There is about 40% chance that the reaper will be in a "hopeless" status. When it's hopeless, it will not attack, and if you guard a few rounds or just rush through using physical attacks, it will kill itself.

Beating it leaves a loot accessory that can half all damage but disables evasion.

Thursday, December 1
Spend time with Makoto

Rank 9 co-op with Makoto
Going to Shinjuku
Talk with everyone around—looking for information about Eiko’s boyfriend Tsukasa
The guy standing outside the bookshop has the most information
Makoto’s friend shows up
-Ma, your boyfriend is famous for putting women into debt
-he’s connected to a bunch of thugs and you should cut ties with him
-E, you came here to tell me that
-I don’t want to hear lies
-Ma, I have witnesses
-someone else paid for the alcohol bottles he broke
-Tsu, oh let’s go have some fun
-E, they’re talking bad about you
-stuff like you’re putting debt on people and making them work it off with their bodies. It’s a lie right
-Tsu, you’re gonna believe that?
-nah I don’t do that. look at my eyes, I wouldn’t lie to my princess
-Ma, princess this, princess that. you should call her by her real name
-or is it because you have too many princesses
-Tsu, …
-E, Tsukasa?
-Tsu, you’re Makoto right
-we contacted each other earlier
-Ma, just as I thought
-I was the one who contacted you saying I’d be five minutes late
-and I put an emoji just like her
-you can’t tell who we are because you’re working so many women
Makoto slaps her
-Ma, open your eyes
-you should have already realized this! You didn’t want to give up so you lied to yourself
-E, all I have is Tsukasa. No one else will look at me
-no matter who I go out with or where I work, no one knows
-you’re such a good kid and everyone expects so much of you. You wouldn’t understand how it feels to be ignored
-Ma, I’m not acting like the honor student right now. I can’t let evil happen right in front of my eyes
-I won’t let my friend be hurt
-apologize and never get close to her again
-Tsu, what, you’re saying all these lies about me
-just because you’re a woman I won’t go easy on you. You’re in for a world of hurt
-if you’re going to come, bring it
1 look out it’s dangerous 2 I’ll be your opponent 3 I’ll call the police, pick 2 for the romance
-Tsu, what the hell is with you
-Ma, MC…
-I’m the daughter of a police officer. If you want to do this, I’m ready and willing
-Tsu, shit, I’ll remember this
He runs off
-Ma, look at him run
-E, what is going on
-this is awful
-person, hey did you see that
-was it a fight
-that host was going at it with that young girl
-Ma, looks like we caused quite a disturbance
1 let’s run 2 come with me, pick 2
-you’re right. If we stay here, it’ll be more troublesome
At the gay bar
-now I’ve really done it. Of all things, I raised my hand to my friend
1 that looked like it hurt 2 that was good 3 that was a critical hit, pick 2
-you think so? Alright then
-when I was thinking about it, I couldn’t just stand there. There’s a part of me that’s impatient when I start thinking about this
-that’s why I try to focus on acting calm
-it must be from my father
-that’s no good. You covered for me. what’s going on
-anyway this store is kind of amazing
-I’m surprised you know about this place. You really do know everything huh
1 I come here often 2 this is a place where adults converse 3 Makoto, you’re more interesting, pick 3 for romance
-after meeting her and going around with you, I’ve had so many new experiences
-if I had just been studying, I would have missed all of this
-this world has so many things I don’t know about. The more I learn, the more I realize how much I don’t know
-but unlike with studying, I know that by myself, there are a lot of things I don’t understand
-I’m “love deaf”—not really good at love. It’s like singing but I can’t practice it
-what should I do
I should choose my words carefully here
-I can’t really study love by myself
1 someone will appear in due time 2 they’re right here, you know; pick 2 for the romance
-Ma, I’m love deaf so I just want to confirm what you said
-if I’m mistaken, sorry
-are you saying you’re in love with me
1 I like you
-so that’s the case
-um
-if you’re alright with it, I’ll be your girlfriend
-it’ll be a little hectic with everything going on. but we’ll help each other out
I can’t go back from here
-Lala, sweet and sour talk time finished?
-Ma, ah I’m sorry. We were just talking. Sorry for causing problems
-L, oh my no. for me to be able to see such a youthful drama, I’m so happy
-I can smell the fresh scent of lemon and peach in the air. Just like my young days
-Ma, I’m sorry. We’ll leave now
At home
Text from group—bitching about Shidou

Saturday, December 3
Spend time with Makoto
Going to our house

Rank 10 co-op with Makoto (romance)
-Ma, so I made up with Eiko
-seems like she kind of had an inkling about it, but when she saw him like that, she finally opened her eyes
1
-yeah. I’m glad she wasn’t involved in an incident
-she even quit that part-time job
-she’s not sure about the future, but she said she’ll go to college so she can find a goal
-that’s why she’s focusing on studying now
-I’ve decided that I’m going to really focus on studying one more time
1 not pushing yourself are you
-no it’s not that at all
-it’s not to be recognized by other people or to show that I’m superior or anything
-I’m studying so that I can realize my dreams and my goals
-I got lost and I didn’t know what that goal was
-thanks to you, I can finally see it
-my dream is to be a police officer. That’s what I’m going to study for
1
-that’s right. Even in your academics, they’re looking for the very best
-this instance with the host as well, but there are many other instances like that that are still hidden
-there are villains out there tearing at the hearts of people using illegal and cowardly methods
-even that’s an organization that my father bet his life searching for. I can’t forgive those people
-but for me to accomplish that, I can’t do it alone
-that’s why I want to become an officer that can move an organization, to flush out this lawlessness and reduce the number of victims
1 that’s a great objective 2 that’s a great dream 3 your father would be proud, pick 3
-that would be good if he was
-that’s the type of justice I’m aiming for. And I think I’m carrying on my father’s legacy
-it’s a little mysterious to learn the meaning of studying outside of actually studying
-thank you for going on this journey with me
-protecting the stiff student council president was tough wasn’t it
-just kidding
-but I’m glad I relied on you
-I have this feeling that I’m going to see many more different worlds
-I’m sure I can do it if you’re by my side
Max rank with the High Priestess arcana—ultimate awakening, reborn as a trickster of legends. Can now summon Queble in fusions. Joanna transforms into Anato.
-I can feel it—my new power
-Ma, of course you can rely on me too. I’d like us to be on even terms
-well, if I want to make my dreams come true, I have to get qualified for the schools I want
-studying to become a police officer while still being a thief. It’s a little strange huh
1
-but maybe it doesn’t really contradict anything
-to expose the evil hidden in the darkness. That objective is the same for me as a police officer or a thief
-and about that
-um
1 what’s up
-it’s um
-I wanted to study something that I have no knowledge about. If it could be with you
-would it be bad?
-I want to be with you
MC holds her
-we still have time until night, right
Spent a while with Makoto
When it became late, I walked her to the station

Tuesday, December 6
Palace time
At the restaurant area, can’t get past without a membership card
Talk to a woman who mentions talking to the bartenders
Check the bar on the same floor of the restaurant in the northeast corner
Set up a plan to get the guy
Sending a girl is a bad idea/dangerous, so Ryuji volunteers
-M, why didn’t you say my name
-R, what should I eat
-F, food in the palace probably won’t fill your stomach
At the table: Ryuji and Makoto
-R, can’t read the menu
-does everyone here have something to do with Shidou
-Ma, they’re all big wigs in the financial and political world
Politician Oue appears
-g, who said you could sit there
-R, who? There’s no sign that said it was reserved
-g, you guys are bother. I like to eat my meal quietly. Leave, kids
Makoto talks her way out of the situation
The guy mentions the principal—he got killed because he was going to tell on Shidou
-Ma, when you become someone like you, sensei. You guys must be targeting big wigs
-g, big wigs? Nah my targets are nothing spectacular
-Ma, how humble of you
-g, you know we had that subway accident back in the spring? I aimed for that driver
-it was to kill a bothersome cabinet member and a CEO supporting the current government IRL
-Ma, I see. I’ve learned quite a lot
-my sister’s actually a prosecutor. I was wondering how I should tell her
-give me the invitation
-g, brat, you think I’m going to give it to you
-R, looks like you’re pretty good at this
Mini-boss
Continue on the elevator
Turn into mice lol
Continue through the hallways to the next elevator
Swimming pool area
Find the guy lounging on the northwest chair. He only talks to women. Or not. He doesn’t like kids
Talk to the woman to the southeast
Talk to the bartender. Ryuji asks to borrow swimsuits. Have to get inside the fitting room to change. Need to have proof that you’re a passenger in order to rent the swimsuits.
Anne talks to the guy—she pretends to be royalty in some European country
Go down to the next part where Haru has to talk to the guy. She introduces herself as the daughter of Okumura Foods CEO. Haru gets the invitation, but he’s insulting her father
-g, your father was a fool. If he had listened and done as he was told, he would have had a good life
-we aired that instance when he became a shell. We had huge ratings
At the side deck, we can’t enter the duct because it stinks
Trouble maker/security guy sends a mini-boss again
Get all the way back to the first areas with the bar, then go to the restaurant
Talk to the waiter nearest the windows. Gather information about the IT guy
Go back to the side deck. FUCKING VERTICALITY. Check the boat right there
Futaba impresses the guy with IT speak. He’s surprised that she’s the original Megido. He asks Futaba why she shut Megido down. He was involved with the Megido incident against the thieves
-IT, thanks to the thieves, they didn’t know they experienced a fake joy, they got to experience a climax that was fake
-F, your skill is third-rate. As a person, you’re below third-rate. You give off that smell
-picking on weak people and calling it invasion, that’s just what I expected from a third-rate!
Mini-boss
Goro is at the train station talking on the phone to Shidou. Shidou just asked Goro to take out the customers who request for people to turn into shells/husks
-G, wait why. We should wait until after the election
-Shi, I want to do it before I become prime minister. Do as I say
Back in the palace
Go through that vent now. It doesn’t smell bad anymore. Trying to get to the engine room
Find the security guy—mini-boss battle
Crawl through another vent and get to where the four guys are
He takes off his suit jacket—tattoos. Shidou has connection with the yakuza. They were ordered to do cleanup after the shell incidents
-A, we were just thinking of designs for new tattoos. This guy’s a good artist
-Y, but I don’t do tattoo designs
-R, he’s a really good artist
-guy, show me or I’ll erase you
-draw me a phoenix
-Y, phoenixes are not my thing
-g, so you’re all talk
-Y, I’m not talk. I’ll draw anything
-give me paper and a brush
He draws it quite well
-this is what a phoenix is to me
-g, that’s innovative. I like it
-Y, thank you v much
-g, I have a condition. Kid, you become my tattoo artist and draw it on me
-M, he’s scouting you?
-Y, I’ll pass
-g, then I won’t give you the invitation
-Y, I decide my own art. You’re a fool
Mini-boss
After the fight
-g, soldiers this strong infiltrated the ship, we’re done for anyway. See ya
He leaves
The group discusses their next move. Have to decide how to announce they’re going after Shidou. A letter won’t do because he’ll ignore it
-F, muahahaha, it’s my turn
-Ma, what do you mean
-F, fufufu, oh it’s nothing
Continue on
Goro finds them
-G, it’s been a while
-you’re truly frightening to have deceived me. I underestimated you
-you really are an interesting one. You don’t talk much but your ability to get things done is impressive
-if I wasn’t in this position, we’d have made good rivals
1 it’s not too late
-you are incredible
-you’re totally different than I am. You aren’t bound by anything
-your heart is always free. The opposite of me. I envy you from the bottom of my heart
-why didn’t we meet several years earlier
Rank 9 with Goro
-there’s no point in talking about what-ifs
-in reality, it just didn’t come out like that
-Ma, why are you helping Shidou
-you’ve seen his palace right?
-G, helping him?
-what are you talking about? I don’t care about this country
-everything is for Shidou Masayoshi. It’s for my father to recognize me and for revenge
-Y, your father is Shidou?
-G, I told you before right? My mother was the lover of a bad man
-I was an illegitimate child. To that man, I was an unnecessary existence
-my mother led an unhappy life and died because she gave birth to me. I was born yet I was not
-when I found out, Shidou was already a member of the ruling party
-then I found out about this world
-I don’t know if it was God or demon, but they gave me a chance. I couldn’t stop laughing
-it’s alright isn’t it? That guy believes in eaten or be eaten philosophy
-I’m just getting rid of evils in the way. I’m no different than the thieves
-A, don’t group us in with murderers
-G, what of it? I can finally reach Masayoshi
-then he reached the pinnacle of his influence and he needed me as his right-hand man. He recognized me and he whispered in my ear
-who was I?
-for the first time, I could exceed him
-Y, he’s distorted. A pathetic amount
-G, it was supposed to come to fruition in only a few weeks, but you…
-however I can still do it. If I have all your heads
-M, we’re not giving you our heads for something like that
-you make it sound big, but basically you’re just a frickin brat
-G, don’t tell me what you think, you trash
-I swear, it’s my responsibility to send Shidou Masayoshi to hell itself
-so joker, you can die in peace
(basically, Goro’s helping Shidou now to later betray him. for revenge for what Shidou did to his mother. Once Shidou becomes PM, Goro wants to tear him down once he’s at his highest)
First fight begins
-G, shit
-M, his power to cause people to go berserk
-I thought it was a power he picked up like the navi, but it’s his own persona
-Ma, that power to cause people to go insane grew from his own heart
-G, I’ll kill you. I’ll absolutely kill you
-A, please, your opponent is the wrong person. Stop
-we hate the same person. Why do you fight us?
-Ma, even if you take our heads, you won’t be happy
-G, but I…
-R, it doesn’t matter who Shidou is. You’re you, you know that don’t you
-G, shit
-F, I thought about that Megido thing you came after us with
-that was a dastardly trap, but if it wasn’t for that, I wouldn’t be here right now
-what I’m saying is you can do this all over
-M, you like Joker, don’t you? As a friend
-you’ve smiled before you fought. Is that what your heart really says
-follow your real emotions
-hated, not wanted. That’s…
-G, shut up, shut up, shut up!
-doesn’t matter what you say
-not as good as you
-I did everything so that people would want me. grades, the value of adults
-I’m a famous detective…I’m an idol (charisma)
-H, Akechi kun…
-G, then I lost to a piece of trash with a record who lives in an attic. Why?
-what do you have that I don’t?
-why is garbage like you more special than I am?
1 ask yourself that 2 that’s not true 3 please stop this
Goro’s about to transform
-Y, a black mask
Flashbacks to talks of a person in a black mask
Full power now
Cutscene where Goro transforms—Loki is his persona
After the battle
-G, you guys are something
-you have it good. Surrounded by your friends. Recognized…
-if Shidou admits to his crimes, you’ll be heroes
-if it’s found out that all my theories in the past were things I created, the trust and fame I gathered would all disappear
-M, I see
-so you resolved the incidents where you caused them to go berserk
-and you teamed up with Shidou
-G, in the end I couldn’t become anyone special
-R, you’re more than special enough, man
-Ma, I hate to admit it but in terms of strength and knowledge, you’re better than any of us. The only reason we beat you was because we outnumbered you
-I was jealous of your talents
-I was frustrated that my sister trusted you
-H, I don’t intend on forgiving my father. But I get the feeling I don’t understand you
-that feeling that you wanted
-Y, when you gained the power to make that happen, you used that power for yourself
-F, one person with multiple personas? You probably have the same ability as Joker
-however, because you played your life solo, the powers you awoke were your own lies and hatred. Just those two things
-but you thought that was more than enough right? I get that. I really get that
-G, ….
-R, alright let’s go back and work on our calling card
-we’re going to beat Shidou. What will you do now
-A, it’d be a bother if you got in our way. How about we end this together
-G, are you fools
-if you don’t want anyone getting in your way, you should dispose of me
-you guys are beyond comprehension
Other Goro appears
-M, it’s Shidou’s Akechi
-SA, you guys are after him
-it’s orders from Captain Shidou. We have no business with losers
-it was a little faster than we planned, but in any case, after the election, we were going to deal with you
-you killed so many and yet you think you’re the only one that was safe?
-could it be that you thought he relied on you? That inside you were giddy about that
-here’s a message from the captain: “this is the reward you get for causing others to become shells”
-G, I see
-I had questions about this palace before. If I really went on a rampage in here, how he’d defend against it
-you’re responsible for this. To be killed be a doll that has the same face as me. that’s just like him
-SA, correct, I am a doll. I’ll do anything
-but if I’m a doll, then the real doll is you
-you wanted to be recognized, didn’t you? You wanted to be loved
-you were a doll from the very beginning
-R, damn you
-Ma, so this is what Shidou thinks of Goro
-this is awful. Awful
-H, it’s not too late. Won’t you come with us to change his heart?
-even if he’s your actual father…no, because he’s your actual father
-SA, you guys sure are frickin loud. How about I take care of you first
-A, crap, he’s not alone. Shadows
-SA, someone better act as his stand-in. maybe he’ll be able to escape death a little longer
-R, damn monster
-SA, your motto was “for someone” right
-I’m the same. If it’s for the captain, I’ll take on as many crimes as he wants and die for them
-Ma, Shidou using him as a killer, and he thinks of him as this
-SA, how about this. I’ll give you one last chance. You shoot them
-G, I really was a fool
Goro aims his gun
-SA, yes that’s right. That’s the you that the captain wants
-G, don’t misunderstand
-you’re the one that will disappear
Goro shoots the doll, then the control panel. The wall comes up
-G, get out of here
-Y, fool, are you planning on dying?
-G, you’re the fools. You could have abandoned me
-if you take these guys on while carrying me, you’ll be defeated
-Ma, Akechi kun!
-G, how about instead, a deal? You won’t turn me down will you
-Y, what are you doing at a time like this
-G, change Shidou’s heart in my place. End these crimes
-please

Rank 10 with Goro—Metatron unlocks
-G, my final opponent is my doll self?
-not bad
-H, Akechi kun?
-A, Mona, is there a way we can open this
-F, no more response
-I can only feel the grunts
-A, no…
-M, let’s do it you guys
-we can’t let a villain like Shidou run wild anymore
-we absolutely have to
Continue on back to the representatives chamber doors
Enter to the treasure area via elevator
The treasure has not taken form
Leave for now
Back home
Text from group—send the calling card. Makoto seems down
3 it’ll be easier if you talk
-H, it’s about Goro right? I can’t believe it
-honestly I’m a little mixed about everything. He seems like a victim as well
-A, we couldn’t help him
-Y, If I hadn’t met you guys, I probably would have turned out the same
-R, I can’t forgive that guy
-but I can’t forgive Shidou even more for twisting him that much
-Ma, I agree with that. Shidou’s the one I can’t forgive

Friday, December 16
Meet up at hideout
Send the calling card. How to do it. Can’t sent to diet, media would be bad, police would be bad
Futaba laughs evilly
-F, I’ve completed the Futaba canon
-R, huh
-F, preparations are complete. Now gaze upon it
-I do this…
-Ma, when did you do this
-R, you were making this? You should have said
-F, if you’re going to fool your enemies, fool your allies first
-Y, that’s some sharp sense
-A, this will work
-H, with this…
-R, we’ll open his eyes
Anime cutscene in the city
Take Your Heart: good evening, everyone. Exposing everything. All the shell incidents are by this one man… Futaba sends the streams all across the country. Reveals the man’s identity as Shidou Masayoshi. The thieves’ silhouettes appear on the screen. Refer to Joker as the leader, and he reveals that he’s still alive. Shidou’s watching—he’s eager for a fight
In front of the interrogation room, everyone’s panicking and getting scolded. Police are inept. They didn’t realize that the dead body of MC didn’t actually exist in the morgue
Shadow Shidou is aware of us now—99%
Sae’s surrounded by guys
-g, where’s the thief’s body
-Sae, thief? Body?
-g, no time to be joking
-Sae, I don’t know what you’re talking about
-um, there’s something
-I read a thief calling card but I don’t remember anything after that
-did something happen that can’t be taken back
-then I…
-g, could it be the thieves?
-other, your heart? Is that the case Niijima?
-Sae, what did I do?
-other, it’s the thieves. They’re alive
-g, even if they are, how did they get away from the station
-we have to capture them
-if they got away instead of committing suicide…
-bringing you into questioning and force you to take responsibility
-Sae, did you really think he died of an illness?
-g, it’s thanks to you that the police’s reputation has been destroyed. You’ll pay for it
-Sae, understood
-I’ll be counting on you, everyone
Sojiro’s watching the news
-So, welcome
-g, search
-you’re Sakura Sojiro right
-where’s the thieves
-So, you mean the hot topics recently?
-g, don’t pretend
-So, you’re getting in the way of my business
-g, we’ve looked into you
-So, so you’re saying this is the only way you can do things
-g, where’s the thieves
-So, if you’re not customers then please leave
-g, he’s their accomplice. Take him in
-So, the villains’ dogs. Justice is not with you guys
Back in the city, Shidou’s on the screen. The group’s hidden in the crowd.
-person, but the thieves jacked the airwaves
-other, but look at Shidou. Doesn’t he look like a villain
-another, what should I believe
Outside the parliament building
-H, people are gathering
-Y, the effect of the calling card was profound
-F, my pride and joy
-R, causing a disturbance is about all they can do
-A, they could just go home and sleep
-M, it’s Yuki. Why’d he come?
-Yuki, the thieves are just. That’s obvious
-I can guarantee it
-R, now he said it
-M, there might not be many but let’s think highly of our fans
-let’s change Shidou’s heart
All your non-party maxed co-ops appear to make comments at this time

Palace
Time to go
-Shi, where did you guys gain such power
-if you got complaints, I’ll listen
-Y, what you did to Akechi
-that’s what I thought I did. He looked like that woman
-I knew Goro was my son. I figured the reason Goro got close to me was to set me up
-he was smart, but in the end, he was just a brat. I praised him a little, he got fond of it and danced for me
-I was planning on disposing of him as soon as I was made PM of Japan
-Goro knew my past. I couldn’t let him live
-I’m surprised that Goro knew what I was thinking
-having him blow himself up saved me the time
-A, that’s terrible
-F, you stole my mother’s research and her life
-H, you did whatever you wanted just to benefit yourself. What do you think people are
-even my father. I won’t forgive you
-Shi, sacrifices are required for revolution
-the fools should leave it to the elite like me. I’ll lead you all
-R, where the hell are you elite
-A, if it wasn’t for Akechi’s help you wouldn’t have made it this far
-Shi, the fact Akechi showed up was because God expected much of me
-because of me Akechi used his power effectively
-change of hearts that you guys did caused a fervor in the populace
-Y, what are you saying? You’re just a loser who couldn’t win in a straight on battle. You used dirty tricks
-Ma, you have no right to be standing and leading anyone
-you used people like tools and you kept climbing up the ladder of crimes
-Shi, the lives of a handful of sacrifices and the life of a nation? They don’t even compare
-showing the foolish masses about their happiness
1
Cutscene of the area changing
Up above now
Boss fight
Defeat him (for now, I guess). He kneels on the ground
-Shi, I acknowledge it. I tried to pin crimes on you
-I did it to protect myself
-I’m sorry
-heh, it’s been a long time since I felt sorry toward someone
1
-I don’t have the energy anymore
-am I going to lose…me?
In his office
-if I drink that, will I really kill the thieves
-doc, that’s what Wakaba’s research says
-if you destroy your palace temporarily, they’ll be taken with it
-it’ll happen suddenly. So unless they have incredible luck, they won’t be able to get away
-however, to erase that world, the palace, you have to stop vital functions
-so this medicine will kill you temporarily. That’s the risk associated
-Shi, I’ll do whatever. Give it to me
He takes the pills
-they’ll be finished
Collapses
-g, what recklessness. If anything happens, we need to get a transport ready
The palace is about to disappear. Treasure comes down
-Ma, we didn’t take the treasure yet right
-M, we have to talk after
-we have to take the treasure and run
In the hallway, they seem to be lost for some reason…
-R, what do you mean something big happened
-A, if we stay stuck standing here, we’ll die
-Ma, Navi, is there any other escape route
-F, looking for one
-Ma, how about there
Too much water
-H, no way
-Ma, the path
-Y, we have to go
-R, oh no, it’s this way too
-A, it’s sinking?
-M, like I’ll die like this
Anime cutscene. Ryuji saves the day. It seems like he dies in the explosion
In front of the parliament building in the real world
-H, he didn’t get away?
-F, let’s go back
-M, we can’t
-Y, this is a joke we can’t laugh at
-A, he was the fastest one too
-Y, this is the treasure
-Ma, it’s his diet badge
-R, ah that was close one. A real close one~
-that palace kind of exploded too much. Usually they just disappear
-what
-H, you died, didn’t you
-R, ?!
-uh I was blown back by the explosion and when I woke up I was sleeping in the grass
-so I’m alive?
-what? You’re crying faces are not cute~
-A, it’s because of you
Anne slaps him
-H, we were so worried about you
-F, damn troublemaker
-R, what is with all this
-wait, so I was about to die right
-you gotta be kidding me right? Right
Ryuji’s lying on the ground
-Y, I’m a little hungry
-H, let’s go somewhere before we go home
-F, how about fois gras sautee
-Ma, let’s go for it
They leave Ryuji lying there
Back in Shidou’s office
-Shi, what happened
-doc, is the medicine still flowing?
-Shi, medicine?
-doc, should take him to the hospital
-other, wait a bit
-Shi, I…
-I want you to judge me
-g, don’t tell me. the change of heart
-doc, the temporary death pills didn’t work?
-g, if his heart changes, then what about us
-all for nothing. Everything
-what should we say to the people? He’s not feeling well
-put him into the hospital in absolute secrecy. Don’t let anyone get close
-shut up the media
-we have to do something
They leave. Shido’s sobbing
Back at the café. It’s wrecked
-F, if you don’t come out, I’ll be mad!
-Sojiro…
He comes in
-So, oh you’re back huh
-F, the same thing happened with Ryuji
-So, what are you talking about
-Shidou’s guys took me somewhere but then all of a sudden said I could go back
-probably thanks to the change of heart right
3 I’ll leave it to your imagination
-then that’s what I’ll leave it as
-they blindfolded me the whole time so I don’t know where we want
-just kind of walking around
-M, looks like it went well
Help clean up now
In room, text from group
Texts from Yuki about mementos
Go to bed
Velvet Room
Morgana has that nightmare again

Sunday, December 18
Shidou’s on the screen. He seems normal at first. Confesses to everything
At the café, everyone celebrates
Futaba thanks everyone for helping her get revenge
Haru thanks everyone for clearing the air about her father’s death
-A, we did such great work everyone
-Ma, Shidou’s guilty right, sis?
-Sae, prosecuting him right away will be difficult
-until the connections in regards to his crimes are established, I’ll do my best
-I’m sure that the results of Wakaba’s research saved Japan
-R, we don’t mind testifying
-Sae, thank you, but it’ll be alright. I don’t want to add any unnecessary suspicions to you
-it’s time for the adults to get in there and show how it’s supposed to be done
-So, what will we do about his school
-Sae, he can go back to school
-no one will come after him. some of the people around Shidou have been dealt with
-someday, someone will find out that we worked together. it’s unavoidable
-So, you mean faking his death right
-if the police had done their job properly…
-Sae, of course I’ll do the best that I can
-I’ll be the one to protect you this time. Prosecuting Shidou is the first step
-Y, weren’t we going to say cheers
-So, alright then
Everyone says cheers
Sae’s phone rings
-Sae, I’m going to get going. They took Shidou to the hospital
-ah that’s right you guys can celebrate but keep it to a certain level
-he’s back after all, and you guys should put your real work into studies
At the room
Text from Yuki—I saw the press conference!!
-but it’s strange. There’s no effect…
-he confessed to everything but there’s no messages on the site
-the TV stations are just talking about the election results. Passing up stuff about the thieves
-seems strange huh
1 I’m concerned
-yeah it’s strange huh
-the support hasn’t risen after what happened
-anyway I want to change the questionnaire
-after we settled this, leaving “do you support them?” is strange
-I’ll ask the public one more time. Just wait
-M, not quite sure but what is he asking
-whatever. Let Mishima do what he likes
Sit down on the bed. Chat with Morgana
-M, case closed. Now all that stuff is gone
-you changed the heart of the next PM. There’s no finale greater than this
-well, this is probably around the time our deal ends
-you’ll be fine now. Even if I’m gone, you can still do things
2 what are you talking about
-….
-you don’t have to worry. I won’t be going right away
-but if I just sit here all the time, I won’t remember anything
-I’m just a little envious of you guys. I still haven’t found anything myself
-mementos…if I knew what was in the depths of that
-ah, let’s sleep. You’re tired aren’t you
Men talking
-1, can’t believe even Shido had a change of heart
What are we going to do, basically…they have a backup plan however. Plan to create a criminal country so that they can manipulate peoples’ hearts for better foreign relations. Rogue nation. They’re going to try to prevent what Sae is trying to do (prosecuting Shidou). On the surface, going to continue to make a strong country. Silence the public’s response. Shidou’s support is apparently still good; treat him as a hero that fell over because of his ideals, and that’s how they’ll announce it to the media. Shidou’s going a mental evaluation; going to deal with it.

Monday, December 19
Time to go back to school
Finals soon
At home, studying
-F, I request regularly getting food
-So, but you’re not taking tests
The others enter. They all study together.
-A, oh yeah, MC can actually study. I feel like I’ve been betrayed
-H, betrayed?
-M, it’s ok Anne. If you can’t study, I’ll…
Makoto asks a study question—the kanji for bird has one more line than the kanji for crow. Can’t see a crow’s eyes. That extra line on the bird is for their eyes
Later
Ryuji asks if they really need to study at school to learn. It feels meaningless
2 studying is important
-So, studying is great and all but you need to have common sense
-you guys are going to graduate, be adults, get married, where you’ll need more common sense
-R, hey MC do you want to get married
1 of course
The love interest will blush and comment
-Y, what I’m going to eat tomorrow is the kind of thing I worry about
Evening
Go to the burger place—pick the second option for more courage

Thursday, December 22
Things…

Friday, December 23
Meet at the old hideout in the city. The news is on. Making excuses for Shidou
-Ma, this is totally different from what sis said would happen
-g, he didn’t sleep at all during the election apparently
-he’s not gonna quit is he? Is this country gonna be ok without Shidou
-Y, how can they still believe in Shidou?
-A, what’s this?
-the thieves no longer exist
-M, this is
Twisted the news so that the thieves just rode on the waves of everything
-H, what’s going on? this is way too strange
-R, their reality is twisted
-M, I’m concerned about what’s going on
-but like this, we can only keep an eye out
At the office
-Sae, what do you mean I can’t question him?
They won’t let her do anything
-g, you’re not married right? It’s gonna be a long vacation. Why don’t you go find someone to marry
At the café
-Y, case against Shidou is in danger
Basically, the government people manipulated the situation. The citizens still think the thieves are bad guys
Sae enters. She explains the situation. At this point, it’s not just a matter of Shidou being found not guilty. It’s going to keep going in this direction. People using the other world for crimes. The thieves are still in danger. Everyone’s like, what could we do
-M, mementos
-if we use mementos, we might be able to do something
-R, can we do something there?
-M, I said it right. Mementos is the palace of the people
-it’s a palace that contains the collective unconscious. It’s the source of all these distortions
-Ma, are you saying that mementos has a treasure too
-if we go after that
-M, if mementos is destroyed, it’ll have an effect on everyone. The entire world will change
-if everyone’s heart can’t forgive Shidou, things will change
-Y, it’s daring but interesting
-R, sounds good
-M, but if we’re going to do this, there’s one thing we have to be prepared for
-the reason that mementos is like that is probably sleeping there
-we’ll be destroying it
-R, not sure what you’re getting at
-M, the entire thing will be gone. Then we won’t be able to sneak in and steal treasures anymore
-even if they’re villains, we won’t be able to forcefully change their hearts
-the thieves will have to close up shop
-H, so we have to give up being thieves
-A, I think we need to do it. We’re the thieves that change the world right
-M, what do you think leader? If we erase mementos, we’ll lose our power. Will you still do it?
3 let’s see our justice through
-so you guys have actually grown
-understood
-looks like no one has objections
-Sae, have you found a good plan?
-Ma, whether or not it’ll succeed is something different, but
-R, Miss Prosecutor, looks like this will be our final job
-Sae, your final job?
1
-H, after we finished our roles, we’ll have to leave the world to the just adults
-that’s the conditions for us to take this job
-Sae, a deal huh? What heavy conditions
-alright. I’ll take it
-I’ll make sure that Shidou Masayoshi stands to be judged
-besides, my pride won’t allow this to go on
-Ma, we’ll be counting on you
-So, looks like you guys decided
-A, leader, this is our honest to goodness final operation. Say something
1
Tomorrow it is, then
Go to bed
Morgana chats a bit
-M, hey
-never mind
3 what’s wrong
Morgana’s just saying that it was nice to know everyone, just in case something happens
Max rank with Morgana. He awakens to Mercurios, his ultimate persona
Fall asleep
Velvet Room
-I, the source of what’s stopping you from completing your rehabilitation
-to think it was the citizens that you showed your justice to
-the distortions of the world of man are endlessly deep
-it may be impossible for the tricksters to correct it
-so this is what humans are capable of
2
-the time of destruction draws near
-a destruction that no one can escape…brought on by the distortions of the human heart

Saturday, December 24
The question now is “do the thieves really exist?”
Go to school
After school, at mementos
-H, doesn’t Mona seem a little weird
-A, yeah…
-H, sorry. Let’s go?
Go all the way to the bottom…
Huge black and red wall opens now. There are evil eyes at the top if you look closely. One way door—can only be opened from the outside
In the final dungeon now. Looks like veins. Caroline’s such a tsundere about healing us. This dungeon is actually pretty brilliant, being that the Japanese see themselves as one population, one soul, all joined together, instead of individuals.
At the first cell area with the shadow people behind bars. There’s a system that grants wishes. They’re all in here because it’s safe. Trying to get the group to come inside
Mini-boss
Afterward, the group discusses together. This is the same as K’s palace, so who has captured them. Morgana remembers something
-M, I’ve seen this place before
-A, but wait. It wasn’t open until we came today
-M, sorry but I kind of feel it
-I’m starting to remember something really important
Time to move on
First puzzle—turn all the platforms blue. Interesting that these puzzles are this way. A metaphor for having to watch your step and walk on landmines, almost, in society.
Otw: they find people in jail cells and they’re not capture by anyone. In there willingly.
Second floor, K, Mada, Shidou and Kane are there. Repenting—thank you for changing our hearts and putting us in the safety of this jail cell
Third floor, find a door with a special solitary confinement cell. Morgana remembers that he was born in there. He was born because he needed to guide MC and the thieves down here. More to remember.
Second safe room—off to the boss at the core. Morgana says the treasure is here
-Y, this evil aura…it doesn’t feel like a temple
Head down to the bottom floor
-M, yeah, I’m certain of it. Let’s go
-this is probably the bottom floor of mementos. Are you ready, Joker?
1 let’s go
The black grail
-R, the hell is this
-Y, what numbers. All around us, everything is a jail cell
-F, what is that in the center?
-A, whatever it is, it looks like it’s gross and high and mighty
-Y, no other paths going forward for here, it looks like
-this is our final destination. The very depths of Mementos
-H, so somewhere in here is mementos’ treasure?
1 has to be
-M, that’s probably right
-I haven’t been here before but I can feel it
-if that disappears…
-…if that disappears, the public will awaken
-Y, I don’t think we can carry it
-R, just has to disappear. If we can’t take it out, just destroy it
-M, that should be fine. Let’s destroy it
-A, if we do this, the entire other world will disappear
-this is our final battle huh
Grail glows red
-F, looks like they found us
-it won’t stand by and be destroyed
-Y, looks like the prisoners started stirring. It’s creepy. What are they planning?
-R, It’s definitely the treasure. Let’s take it and find out
-Ma, wait a second. There’s something strange
-Shidou said that the public are treating themselves as prisoners
-could they really be moving this giant system that automatically counterattacks?
-and there were prison wardens and soldiers that were very well-commanded
-Y, so you’re saying that there’s someone else that’s controlling them, other than the public
Yaldabaoth/fake Igor laughs
-A, what was that just now
-R, whatever, let’s worry about it after
-M, we can’t lose here after coming this far
Fight against – the treasure of Mementos (?)
Cries from the people: “seihai” which means grail. Boss heals itself—don’t touch our grail!
-F, no way, what was that just now
-it can’t be! Are the prisoners giving it their strength?
Next scene
-R, damn there’s no end to this
-Y, being pushed back by this number of prisoners
-Yal, the fools who are human yet cut off human desire
-A, who is this
-Yal, fall back
-Ma, the treasure’s talking?
-Yal, I was worshipped as an item to grant wishes
-I was called the grail
-H, grail…
-Yal, this prison of regression is what humans want
-where everyone is bound and thought is abandoned. Where the world is not to look forward to anything
-and where everything will return to nothing. Not even the acts of heroes can do it. Foolish humans
-the hearts of the people have fallen and become a prison
They cry out
-so then, in this prison that you’ve all wished for, wasting away is a befitting ending
-M, get ready. Here it comes
-R, let’s do it
Battle again
The grail took everyone’s desires and gave it form as Mementos and the palaces
Boss name this time is just Grail
Fighting
The wish of the people heals the boss. The colors on the grail changes. A few more times and it’s gold
Cutscene now. The people cry out again
-M, look at how the people are acting. This isn’t the time to steal it
-what are we doing this for?
-H, this is terrible
-Yal, fools that have become drunk on justice that isn’t wished or hoped for
-this is the wish of humans who have fallen to their laziness
-this glow is the proof that this is the entity that they wish for
-as long as humans seek it, I am invincible
-Ma, this is what everyone wants? To stop thinking and be led by a grail?
1 can’t accept it
-you’re right but I’m so frustrated I want to cry
-I’ll never agree to this
-M, the human I wanted to be is nothing like this
-no matter how tough reality gets, if you give up on wanting to change, that’s the end
-not just me but everyone here is the same
-we don’t want to go back to when we wanted to give up. we risked our lives to get this far
-H, Mona chan
-A, that’s right
-Yal, humans want to be distorted
-and I am an entity that grants human wishes
-I will not stay in this other world. I will begin my encroaching on reality
-R, fucking kidding me
-Ma, encroach? What do you plan on doing
-A, this is bad
-F, this feels real bad
-Y, Mona, what should we do
-M, I don’t know what you are, but trying to decide things like that
-you know what, humans are not the foolish people that you say they are
-Yal, foolish, lazy humans. Give all of your hearts to me
Beam goes out—transformation
-now is the time to unite
-Y, the ground
-H, it’s disappearing
-R, the fuck
-voice, Morgana…
-M, eh? Who
-voice, you are my..
-M, no way…
-I see. So that’s what it was. I remember everything
Everyone’s back in the real world
-A, ouch
-is everyone ok
-R, yeah of course we are
-F, uh our clothes are back to normal
-M, look
-H, back in Shibuya?
-Y, we’re returned?
-M, I don’t think we’ve returned. More like we were expelled by the grail
-Ma, did we lose
2 don’t give up
-I know that…
Blood rains down. INFERNAL. FUCKING. TOKYO. Everyone else walks around like it’s nbd. Yuki freaks out on the train. Sojiro is bothered as well. Max cooperations will make comments, “what’s going on?”
-Sae, I can’t believe it. Why is everyone acting as normal. Do they not see it
-I hope those kids are ok…
Back to the group
-g, weather’s really nice. Want to go for a drive?
-more normal comments about day to day things
-Y, why don’t they realize something strange is going on?
-Ma, they probably don’t feel like it’s strange
Everyone starts collapsing
-R, what’s wrong
-F, my head started pounding
-A, Futaba, grab hold of me
-H, Anne chan? Ugh
-Ma, is this the work of the grail?
The group tries to resist, but it’s for naught…they disappear one by one
-Yal, because no one perceives you, you will leave
-M, is it my fault? Because I took you there
2 it’s not your fault
-I’m sorry. Our plan failed…
MC disappears last just as the rating goes down to zero
Tokyo turned into mementos and people stopped recognizing the thieves, so they disappear
Velvet Room
-I, so in the end, you couldn’t reach rehabilitation
-I guess I was wrong about you
3 why did my friends disappear
-C, damn useless prisoner
-J, I guess it wasn’t worth helping you out
-I, humans were much more foolish and lazy than I thought
-the world will soon face destruction
1
-you’ve lost the “game”
-the tricksters that would bring revolution to humanity…I guess it was too much of a burden for you to bear
-so based off the rules of the game, the loser has to pay a price
-your life
-I condemn you to death
-C, execution?
-I, the rules of the gods are absolute
-everything has ended
-execute that one immediately
-C, if that is what you wish, master
2 are you serious?!
-it means you are not a good prisoner
-J, that is probably true…
-I, what’s wrong. Get this done right away
-J, we have to really kill him?
-C, don’t hesitate. It’s his crime that he lost the game
In front of the guillotines
-so prisoner. We’ll be moving to your execution
1
If I get killed here… I have to do something
Trickster clothes
-C, what impunity. You’ve come this far and you still want to rebel
-Justine, READY?
-J, if this is the order of the master, I can’t refuse
-C, for a bad prisoner, we’ll have to show him our power
-J, understood
-C and J, death to the criminal
Battle
-C, don’t refuse, prisoner. Quietly accept your death
-J, we’ll make it a nice quick one
1 HP
-J, his power. Caroline
-I, what’s wrong
-C, I told you not to hesitate. Are you going to turn your back on our master’s orders
My body can’t move…
-J, something’s wrong
-our role is to not let him die
-Caroline
-C, what is this? Why is my heart trembling?
-so you’re saying we have a different role?
After the fight
-I, what’s wrong? I ordered him to be executed
-C, master…haven’t you been looking down on humans
-J, we’re supposed to reform our prisoners
-I, what
-J, something in our heads is telling us that our true role is not to let him die
-voice, help me
I can hear something
-voice, help
This voice
I felt like I’ve heard it somewhere before
1 who is it
-voice, who?
-yes, we are the ones that wish for a true rehabilitation
-J, we are not entities that are meant to kill people
-that is the truth that we’ve forgotten
-C, it’s decided. We won’t do it
They kneel
-C, our right and our left eye
-like a reflection in the mirror, we’re the same
-voice, our wish, now will…
C and J nod
-C, we finally remembered
-that we were ripped apart
1 do you remember
-J, we were originally one
-we were ripped into halves by an evil will
-I, heh
-C, we were also imprisoned here. To think we were told the truth by a prisoner
-J, let’s take it back. our true form
-C, we’re going to give you one last job. Be happy and listen
-J, fuse us with your own hands
1 fuse?
-C, it’s time for you to pay back the debt you have for us raising you
-C and J, now fuse
2 I’ll help you now
Fuse them together—Lavenza appears
-L, my name is Lavenza
-we were ripped apart by an evil will and became those twins
-before then, I sought help
2 help?
Flashback to the butterfly in the prologue
-L, if you are lost, the path to this grail will forever be closed
-so remember now: the truth
-and please save us
Present again
-we believed that you would come this far
-impostor that uses our master’s name
-now that we’ve taken back both of our eyes, your lies will no longer work
-I, the game still isn’t finished
-to leave the human world or to destroy it and recreate. That is our game
-L, be careful
1 you’re not the guardian of dreams
-I, if I was to say in words that you understand, I am a grail that grants wishes
-no, I should say that I am an entity that controls all the wishes. A god would be the closest thing
-if the outlaws could defeat evil and the populace could resonate with good, then they could change their own hearts from their lazy ways
-however the result was as you see. The populace pretended nothing had happened
-it should be destroyed. That’s the answer you led us to
-however prisoners I was just thinking…maybe I should re-evaluate you
-a human that reached the grail and saw through who I really am
-you surprised me even though I’m a god. That’s not something a regular fool could do
-you were truly a prisoner that wasn’t boring
Rank 10 with Igor—fuse Vishnu now
-I think I’ll observe you a little more
-I’ll give you a chance at a deal
2
-if you wish it, I’ll return the world to what it was before: to the distorted populace
Will he actually be able to do it?
-L, he pulled you out of the other world and put you through tests you didn’t want
-and yet he’s still playing with you
-I, and if the thieves win, you’ll become famous
-how about it
Fake Igor says he’ll return us to a world before this happened
We can live as normal and be famous. Do I want to do that?
Is it ok to leave it as a world where we can’t think. Where we’re imprisoned
Is that really the way the world should be?
1 I decline 2 ok, pick 1
-L, you made a good choice
-I, fool heart. So you’ve chosen your own death. Now I’m done with you
He leaves and the real Igor is freed
-L, master!
-I, ah this place. It has been quite a while
-welcome to my velvet room
-my name is Igor. This is the first time we’ve met
-L, this is the true master of the velvet room. The person who will truly help you on your journey
1 the true help?
-I, understanding right away might be a little difficult
-L, to put it simply, the fake has left and the real one has returned
-I, correct…
-L, my master has returned and you’ve beaten his temptations
-so we might be able to save the world that is heading toward destruction
-however to beat that being, your power alone might not work
2 I know
-release them. The comrades that share your same ideals
-I, this is the place between dreams and reality. Between the spirit and material
-L, they have not breathed their last breath
-just like how you were locked up here, they are probably captured somewhere
-you’ve strengthened the bonds with them. I’m sure you’ll be able to release them
-they know
-when the thieves have all gathered here, I will tell you everything
-I, now go to the people that will head to the truth with you
Lavenza walks ahead
-L, the thieves are here
-please find them and save them
-this is something only you can do
Go find everyone one by one
Futaba’s in her cell
-F, oh, joker
-great, seems like we managed to survive
2 glad you’re safe
-safe huh
-what happened to Shibuya
-what is this place
1 outside the velvet room
-velv…? That seems like a really cool chuuni name
-the real world is so difficult
-if I’d stayed indoors, I wouldn’t have experienced this kind of pain
-for someone like me that was a shut-in, I don’t have any right to tell them how to live
-I want to go home
-but you know, if I really went home now, it’d probably be even more painful
-that was the most painful
-I think I’ve changed
-somewhere along the line, I couldn’t give up on people who I didn’t even know their names and faces
1 you’ve really grown
-it’s really kind of rough
-it’s rough but
1 which is better
-I…
-it was already decided from the start
She stands
-I don’t want to run away
-for a long time, I thought the wrong thing about my mother’s death. It was so painful
-it was really, really painful
-I don’t want to be ignorant anymore
-that’s right. My persona’s special. That’s probably why
-I want to know the truth. That’s what I really believe
-I’ll come with you. No matter where we go, with my own two feet
The door disappears
-your heart sure is strong, joker. You helped me again
-thank you. I’m really glad
-I’m so happy I don’t know I can say it with my own words
-our opponent’s god, huh
-I couldn’t even leave my own house, now we’re going to beat up god? That’s crazy awesome
-now that I realize it, I got out of jail myself
-a real jail break
1 let’s go then
-that’s what I expect
-let’s go show them what we’re made of
Go find someone else
Makoto’s in her cell
-Ma, joker
-I’m so glad. Are you ok
2 I’m glad to see you’re ok
-I’m um
-now that I think about it, you’re in that form and I’m in my regular clothes
-does that mean the will to rebel in me is gone?
-that’s probably the case
-if I leave here, we’ll have to fight that grail one more time, right
-that monster that gets cheered on by the people and gets unlimited power
-Joker, can you picture us winning
-no matter how much I think, I can’t bring that image into my head
1 I’m not sure
-the difficulty that my father and my sister bear, I finally think I understand it
-it’s not about winning over one villain. Your real opponent is the world itself
-but you absolutely have to win
-what should I do
2 I’ll support you
-joker…
-you’re right
-that’s my bad habit. In difficult times, I forget that I can rely on others
-you can’t just look for the right answer
-if there isn’t a right answer, you have to create it with your own hands
-living a life where you choose an answer from the ones in front of you…that’s just becoming a follower of adults
-that’s what a loser would think
-but I want to win it all
-even if it means making an enemy of the entire world
The door disappears
-I’m alright now. My wavering resolve has solidified once more
-the landscape that you showed me, I want to show it to everyone
1 let’s go then
-thank you. Having friends you can believe in is really nice
-let’s go. This is our last big job. We can’t let it end in loss
Outside
Go find someone else
Yusuke
-Y, joker…
-you’re ok just as I expected
-sorry but where is this
1 this is outside the velvet room
-velvet room? Not really sure what you’re talking about
-sigh, when I thought about the people wanting to be in prisons, and then to find myself in a prison
-considering what happened in the real world, it’s hard to say that I was saved
-even the villains that we worked so hard to change, after they changed, they became like those people in the jail cells
-we bet our lives even though no one wanted us to. were we just foolish clowns?
2 we have to see our sense of justice through
-our own sense of justice
-I see
-I see. Not someone else’s justice but our own
-when we first met, I declined and declined but you kept pushing
-but what you gave me that time is something I’ll treasure for the rest of my life
-alright
-just like how art isn’t just about being comfortable, even if they look at me with disgust, I’ll save them
-what I believe is just will not falter anymore
The door disappears
-you have my thanks, joker
-being with you brings the greatest ideas to my head
1 let’s go
-yeah. We can’t let this world stay like hell
-I’m a painter. I’ll redraw everything beautifully
-so let’s go see it to the end
-to see a world where we’re not bound by this grail
Outside
Go find someone else
Anne
-A, joker
-glad you’re safe
2 glad you’re safe too
-I see. This really isn’t heaven, is it
-which means Shibuya becoming hell…that was true too huh
-I really am weak
-when I thought I was really, really going to die, I was so scared, my body was shivering
-our thieves’ justice and all that, in that second, everything left my head
2 I was scared too
-Joker, you put yourself on the line for a trick that might have killed you
-but for me even though I said I want to do it for someone, when it came to it, I’m like this
-heh, that means I’ve lost huh
-maybe someone like me should have just sat there and stayed quiet. Maybe that would have been better
1 can you say that to Shiho
-that’s…
-I can’t say that
-if I’m going to say I want to cry, Shiho would
-no. that would be betraying myself
-what I felt on that day, I can’t give that up. I can’t
-I never want to let someone face that again. Never
-I decided that I’d call myself a thief and look straight ahead
-losing and dying isn’t real death. Real death is when you go back on yourself
-I won’t make that mistake ever again
The door vanishes
-thank you, joker. Thanks to you I remembered something really important
-meeting you and being your friend was my greatest treasure
1 let’s go
-I’m part of the Shinsengumi (Phantom Thief group name)
-we’re gonna go settle this, right? Let’s go
Go find someone else
Haru
-H, ah
-you’re safe. I’m so glad
2 you too
-yeah
-I wonder if the people in town are ok. It’s really something out there
-although I guess no one other than us could see it
-when I was disappearing, I thought this is what it’s like dying
-but somewhere deep down, I wasn’t scared
-I thought “so this is how far I could go,” and “now I can apologize to father directly”
-I thought I had changed but somewhere deep down I thought “there’s nothing I can do” even about my own life
-I really started to hate myself
1 all we have to do is fight
-sorry. Saying things like that cause trouble huh
-you’re going to still fight, right
-you don’t have to take me along. If I’m going to be a burden…
2 is this something that can’t be helped?
-that’s…
-you’re right. That’s not it
-even if when you think there’s nothing else that can be done
-you and everyone else wouldn’t let it be like that
-I won’t give up ever again
-just like the day I betrayed my twisted father, I’ll betray my past self
The door vanishes
-thank you, joker
-the thieves that I looked up to so much
-you were really the person I thought you’d be
-this is the second time you’ve helped me
-this situation? I secretly looked up to it
1
-we still haven’t lost, have we?
Go find the last person other than Morgana
Ryuji
-R, hey
-looks like neither of us died yet
-where is this place
1 it’s just outside the velvet room
-vel…?
-you know, in jail huh. Reminds me of the first time we met
-something big’s happening in Shibuya. But everyone’s acting normal and they can’t see a thing
-no, their faces were like “I don’t want to see it”
-what is it
-they were suffering because of unfairness and they raised their voices and cheered us on, yet
-was it really ok like this
-what we did. Did it have meaning?
2 if we quit now, then it won’t
-heh, you really are strong aren’t you
-dying without knowing the answer, when I thought that was going to happen, that’s the first time I really felt it
-that maybe we weren’t right
-that’s why we lost, I thought
-have you ever felt that uncertainty?
2 I did too
-now that I’m thinking about it, this all started because I was unhappy with that guy
-not even winning or anything at all
-whatever I did, and wherever I want, I was rebelling against myself
1 that’s fine
-that’s fine?
-heh, you’re right
-that’s right
-I don’t want to let others feel like how I felt. That’s how this all started
-looking from the sidelines isn’t justice at all. Being a thief is about doing it your own way
-alright, I’m not the type to be liked by anyone anyway
-then I’ll rush forward with everything I got like I always do
The door vanishes
-just like that one time huh. You broke me out of jail again
-thanks man. I’m a little embarrassed but I’m glad I met you
-I don’t want to let them get me
-that sparkling bastard that thinks he’s a god, if I don’t get him, the butterflies in my stomach won’t stop
-let’s go. We’re gonna give it to that bastard, huh
Outside
-have you helped everyone?
1 just Morgana
-what are you talking about
Back with Igor with everyone
-Y, what is this place
-Ma, who is this
-I, my name is Igor
-I am the master of the velvet room
-L, my name is Lavenza. I am also a resident of this room. We’ve been waiting for everyone
-H, velvet room?
-L, the master has been released from a long imprisonment. He’s not at full power
-so as a result I’ll be standing in his place
-A, where’s Morgana
-L, would you like to meet him
1 of course
-he’s there
-R, you were in there?
-M, I was born here
-I was born here to kick out the gods from the humans’ world
-F, Mona?
-M, my role was to find the tricksters and help them defeat the evil god
-for that reason, I was created here by the master
-I, that is correct
-M, I remember everything now
-when the god was about to take this place over, the master used the last of his strength to create me
-to gather the last remnants of human hope
-L, the people that have stopped thinking in reality are satisfied
-that is what the evil god has been planning: the destruction of humanity
-R, um excuse me I don’t understand anything you’re saying at all
-L, shut up and listen. We don’t have time
-Ma, wait, the grail is god?
-I was wondering why it had its own will but you’re saying it’s not the treasure?
-L, no, that is absolutely mementos’ core. It is the distorted desire of the people
-H, could it be because they wanted to be ruled over that the treasure became god?
-L, that is correct
Lavenza’s explanation of the MC versus Goro thing
Lavenza: The evil god chose two well-grounded humans, and had them compete. This was to determine whether the world should "remain" or "be destroyed and created anew."
Lavenza: One would be an instigator of the masses' distortion... His name was "Akechi Goro." Were he to win, the human world would "be destroyed and created anew.
Lavenza: The other would be the trickster opposing him... That boy's is you, MC
Morgana: If he won, the human world would "remain"... that's what the game was supposed to be.
Morgana: ...On the surface, anyway.
Lavenza: The evil god already knew that reformation is not something that would occur to idle humans.
Lavenza: Because the evil god is itself the distorted wish of the masses.
Lavenza: However, our true master believed in humanity.
Lavenza: He believed that surely, among the people, one who could succeed in reforming them, a "trickster," would appear.
Lavenza: But the evil god laughed at that possibility, and set out to instead cause the one with those groundings to fall into despair, to prove humanity's powerlessness.
Lavenza: And so he, MC, who had the potential... was approached for that reason.
Lavenza: Training the trickster who would become a savior, he would show him the rejection of the masses, and cause him to fall into despair...
Lavenza: I fear it's likely that the evil god himself may also have intended to nip any danger to himself in the bud.
-L, now that I think about it, when I was ripped apart, the word “rehabilitate” felt like it was contradicted
-it was obvious. Reform, rehabilitation, that was a word fate used to keep an eye on you
-M, this is a game we weren’t supposed to win. That’s what we got involved in
-R, shit, what was all this
-L, right now, your world and mementos have combined
Lavenza says MC has the real power to cause the rehabilitation. She asks if we’re ready to challenge god and take back reality
1 of course
System—story prompt
Follow Morgana upstairs. Ready to go?
Infernal Shibuya
No one’s realized what’s changed. This was the gate that Morgana said he recognized—the solitary confinement door that shouldn’t be open
-M, that room was the velvet room. It was sucked in by the distortions
-R, wait, so the most dangerous villains inside would be us
Morgana’s glowing. He says it’s probably because his memory comes back
-g, hey isn’t that thing glowing
-other, um there are guys in strange clothing
-woman, that clothing, I remember it from somewhere
-others, aren’t those the phantom thieves. Some people can see them, but not everyone
Go ahead to the final battle area
Mini-bosses… Gabriel, Raphael, etc
Get to the top—a “safe room” is there. Head across the bridge
Fake Igor is here
-Yal, you humans dare to challenge me
-rebels that challenge the prison of regression
-you don’t understand? Your actions won’t save anything
Transforms into the grail
People wished for a god that could control them. Same from before.
Battle
Futaba explains that someone has to cut off the veins of support, otherwise the grail will keep healing itself. No idea what the consequences will be, but we have to do it anyway
Defeat it—final form incoming. Transforms into Yaldabaoth.
-Yal, we evolved
-into Yaldabaoth
Fight him
Giant red/black attack. He’s basically the same as YHVH in SMT… Same rules as the Law endings. Any undesirables will disappear
Morgana speaks to the populace through the screen, asking them to cheer on the thieves
Back to the thieves
-R, why are the voices coming from below?
-H, they’re cheering us on
-F, this doesn’t feel too bad
-Y, you don’t have to tell us
-Ma, we won’t disappear
-A, I decided that I’d never hold back
-M, I also decided
-to protect what I want. I’ll see my beliefs and my justice through
-you guys decided that too didn’t you
-you guys decided to steal back the world. Don’t go back on that
-A, let’s beat that guy together
-R, hey, god, those foolish humans are praying
-they’re telling you that this world has no place for you
-M, tell this evil god the last thing he’ll ever hear
1 we’ll be taking this world
The meter goes all the way up, finally
MC transforms Arsène into Satanael, or basically SMT’s image of Lucifer
-Yal, you couldn’t handle your powers…
Battle begins
-Y, that’s
-R, goddamn that’s big
-M, this immense power. Could it be a persona?
-Yal, foolish
-this is humanity
Block the attack
-M, I see…if god is doing bad things then the king of demons himself has to kick him out
-this is the greatest end and a perfect fit for the tricksters
-Joker, we’re gonna leave our power and everyone’s hopes to you. Finish this
Great Sin Shell ability
Be gone, says MC
-Yal, fool, you can’t end me
Bullet through the face right on Christmas
-Yal, what power
-I am a god born from the wishes of all the people. And you surpassed me
-so this is the true trickster
-Igor…what you said wasn’t lies
-A, look
The treasure
-R, it’s the treasure
-right Mona
-M, thanks for taking care of me
-H, Mona chan?
-F, Mona?
-M, humans have the power to change the world. They’ve just forgotten it a little
-Y, hey
-M, thanks to you, I’ve been able to fulfill my role
-Ma, but everything’s been thanks to you, Morgana
2 thanks
-M, I was useful to the person I looked up to
-is there anything greater than that?
-this place is gonna disappear very soon
-shall we go?
Treasure glows
Back on the ground
-R, what the hell is this
-Y, this is
Shibuya goes back to normal
Morgana seemingly disappears
-H, it’s not here, the other world navi
-mementos has disappeared
-F, so we won’t be able to meet Mona anymore?
2 who knows
People in the crowd comment on Christmas tomorrow
-H, who knows how it will turn out. I hope it goes well
-Ma, let’s make sure we believe. My sister promised us
-R, what lies ahead is the prosecutor’s job, huh
-Y, now that we can’t enter the other world, the thieves’ work is done
-H, it’s a little lonely
-A, it’s cold
-F, snow
-R, no wonder it’s cold
-A, could it be, we’ll get a white Christmas
-Ma, still the eve
-H, Christmas. I totally forgot
-Ma, let’s keep a handle on the situation. Let’s disband here today
-let’s meet at Leblanc tomorrow and check our information as our last meeting
-Y, let’s do that
-A, then
-it’ll be Christmas, so how about we do our last party
-R, that sounds good. Don’t tell me one of you guys has something planned already
-A, then it’s decided
-Y, convince the master so we can rent the restaurant out
1 understood
-then I’ll see you tomorrow
-F, I’m a little worried about Sojiro so I’ll head back
-A, how about we head home too
Save?
In the evening, Sae finds us
-Sae, the hero that saved the world is all alone on Christmas Eve
-can I talk to you
-first off thank you for listening to my request
-I hope what’s happening in the public will change. It will, right
1 I’m sure it will change
-that’s what I believe too
-Shidou confessed to a lot of crimes. We can use that until we’ve arrested him
-the problem lies beyond that
-if we can’t show the connection between the shell incidents and the other world, getting a guilty verdict will be difficult
-the person that did all the crimes, Goro, is gone. The only one who can testify is you
-I’ll be straightforward
-I want you to turn yourself in to the police
2 why
-to make sure that Shidou’s guilty, we absolutely need your testimony. But
-that means that you have to stand on the front and center stage. You’ll become heroes that saved this country
-that’s something the police and attorney’s office won’t allow
-because you thieves ruined their reputation
-and if that happens, we won’t know what they’ll do to you or your friends
-they might try to frame you with a made up crime and forcefully arrest you. It’s possible
-if you turn yourself in, you’ll absolutely be arrested
-then they’ll know that you have a prior record. The police and attorney’s office will go after that
-they’ll take the fact that you were arrested as poor behavior and they’ll erase your probation
-and they’ll likely send you to juvenile hall
-they won’t see you as a hero. They’ll take the necessary testimony and be happy with it
-in exchange, your friends’ safety will be ensured. No, I’ll absolutely ensure that it happens
-I want to bring to light all the incidents surrounding Shidou. I plan to show it all
-so that the public won’t be distorted again. That’s what you want, right?
If I do this…
-this will be the last deal between you and me, it seems
-I ask you one more time
-please turn yourself into the police of your own accord
1 if I can help my friends, then I will 2 if it can change the world
-thank you
-I had a feeling you would say that. leave everything else to us
-so let’s go
Message came
It’s an invitation to spend time together
-what’s wrong
1 I want a bit of time
-I understand
-then tomorrow morning, let’s go together
Text from Makoto—I know that I should hold these feelings at a time like this, but
-it is Christmas Eve and I want to be with you
-how about we walk around town a bit, and then I’ll go to your room?
Let’s do it
-thanks
-I’m still in Shibuya. Let’s meet in front of the station
I walked around Shibuya with Makoto as it snowed
At leblanc
-Ma, no matter where you go it’s busy on Christmas, isn’t it
-it’s all really happy looking couples
1 did you have fun 2 we’re pretty happy 3 I’m a little jealous, pick 2
-oh…
In MC’s room
-so what will we do after this? It was nice to be alone together
-but it seems that we’re not all that different from normal, right
1 let’s relax 2 let’s get excited 3 because you’re here, Makoto, it’s special, 3
-is that something you say with a straight face?
I won’t be able to meet Makoto starting tomorrow
We enjoyed our conversation for a while
-oh, there’s this
-it’s a present
Received a watch from Makoto
-I hope you like it
1 thank you 2 I’m really happy, 2
-take care of it, ok
-sorry for changing the subject so suddenly
-my sister’s proceeding with Shidou but it looks like she’s having trouble
-not sure of the details
-but to make sure that Shidou is guilty, they need testimony
-my sister is there so I don’t think it’ll turn out too badly
-but thinking about what will happen going forward, I get a little scared
Flashback to Sae asking for our testimony
If I turn myself in, then I’ll be able to protect Makoto
But if I tell her now, it’ll just confuse her
-what’s wrong
1 it’s nothing 2 I’m sorry, pick 2
-what do you mean by that
-…..
-I’m sorry for talking about strange things. It is Christmas, after all
-I’m gonna go home now
1 I’ll show you home
-I’ll be fine
-you’re hiding something from me, aren’t you
-it’s nothing
-good night
I’ve made Makoto feel uneasy

Sunday, December 25
News is on—the police that kept their silence up until now have started to move. The police have in response to Shidou’s confession, created a case. And many are calling for Shidou’s resignation. A national demonstration is being planned on the internet to void and redo the election
-So, to think it would change this much in one night
-that is really something
-but he…
-R, Merry Christmas~
-Ma, ….
-R, huh? Are you down
-Futaba why are you crying. Did you guys have a fight
-A, hey Ryuji
-R, what’s with everyone
-where is he
-H, what’s wrong Mako chan
-So, it’s ok. I’ll explain
-R, what’s the meaning of this
-Y, the hero that saved this country sent to juvi and is sitting there? I can’t understand it
-So, it’s the rules. Nothing we can do
-you guys don’t have to worry about it
-Ma, I tried to do my best to talk to him but whatever I said…
-R, shit this is unbelievable
-A, can we really accept this
-I can’t
-F, of course
-Y, there’s no room for objections
-H, this is something we couldn’t avoid, but…
-R, because of prior record he gets probation. Gotta be fucking kidding me. he didn’t even do it
-A, Shidou spoke the truth about everything. Can’t they strike it from his record
-Ma, they can’t do it. My sister said this before
-to overturn a conviction, there has to be irrefutable proof that he wasn’t guilty
-R, proof? How do we get that
-the police was there. Did they wipe out all the evidence
-Y, Futaba can’t you look into something on your PC
-F, that’s not something I can do. It’s not an almighty machine
-I’ll do what I can
-H, the other world isn’t there anymore, either
-Sojiro is there anything we can do
-what would Mona say at a time like this
-Y, he’d probably laugh and say you guys are nothing at all huh
-Ma, acting all high and mighty huh
-R, he really was annoying, but now that he’s gone…
-we ended up really relying on him
-F, hope for humanity
-Y, I want to do something for him
-A, hey come on. if we’re like this we won’t be able to face Morgana
-I don’t know what we should do. But if we give up here, we can’t help MC at all
-we were all helped by him. if we don’t move now, then what was it for
-we have to do something
-R, it’s not time to be looking down
-Y, without using the other world, what can we do
-H, if we look we might be able to find something
-Ma, let’s calm down and think thoroughly
-we got out from the edge of death. If it’s us I know we can do something about it
-F, let’s do it
-R, we’re definitely gonna save our leader
Questioning
-g, we’re going to start the interrogation now
-you’re the leader of the thieves that caused a ruckus around the world
1 yes 2 you got it wrong, I saved the world
-as the leader of the thieves. You committed many crimes
-illegal entry into Okumura Foods and Madarame’s estate
-just recently hijacking the airwaves
-we’ll send you to juvenile hall

December 31
Cutscene for New Years. They vow to help Joker in any way they can. All they can do for now is stay separated. Let’s look into leads

January 3
At Makoto’s house, talking to Anne
-Ma, really?
-so now that you know his name, you need the address
-yeah you’re right. If we all do this, it’ll be ok
-my sister, even though she hasn’t said anything, seems to be doing well
-thanks. Say hi to Shiho for me
-why don’t we ask them? I’m sure they’ll help us out
-that’d help a lot. I’ll be counting on you to contact them
-see you tomorrow
-we’ll absolutely help him out
All max co-ops have a scene
Tae looks into leads, talking to a patient’s doctor
Yuki wants people to sign a petition to get MC out of jail
Toranosuke talks to his colleagues, praising MC, and seeking to aid him

Velvet Room
-I, magnificent
-L, even though you’ve escaped the prison of the heart, even now you’re in jail in reality
-you’re still in jail now because you put the happiness of others before your own gain. What an ironic ending
-but that is fine. Because this is the correct path that you’ve chosen of your own free will
-until the very end, you didn’t compromise your ideals
-the very last arcana you’ve obtained is the World
-it is the power to stand in this world of your own will and to not be carried away by others
-it will become the base of your hope that your friends will use into the future
-now that you’ve obtained that power, you will no longer be someone that wanders without a place where they belong
Obtain the card
-I, my role ends here
-you were one of my finest guests
Igor and Lavenza disappear with the Velvet Room. The butterfly appears one last time

February 13
-Sae, it’s been a while
-I’ve brought two pieces of good news
-in regards to Shidou Masayoshi, we’ll finally start prosecuting. It’s likely he’ll be found guilty
-thank you very much for helping with the investigation. Your testimony was very useful
1 that’s great 2 I feel relieved, 1
-honestly, it was dreadful at one point
-but thanks to the citizens mobilizing and the media doing work and collaborators in the police
-it’ll be a little while until Shidou will be taken to trial. But it’s the first step to change
-crimes against public election, public funding…
-it’s a little hectic already but I’m still a little disappointed. Proving the other world is difficult. Nothing we can do about it
-even so, Shidou admitted to all those crimes even before we established the other world. Took two months
-one more piece of news
-you’ll be released today
3 why all of a sudden
-thanks to Shidou’s testimony, we know about the incident involving you
-that injury that you were arrested for back home—we’ll be able to prove your innocence
-it’s been decided that it’ll be taken back. so we’ll be letting you out ahead of time
-those kids really tried their hardest
-they found the woman that was the victim and asked her to be a witness. That was what decided it
-that wasn’t it either. There was a lot of push from so many places that we couldn’t believe
-finding people that were there over more than a year ago—they actually did it
-the thief troupe of justice is gone
-all that’s left is for us adults to take society in the right directions
-but that’s what the adults would say. Would you believe me
1 you promised me
-thank you
-I’m really glad I could save you in the court. That was the first time I’ve ever been that happy
-that feeling of fulfillment, protecting your future, was bigger than any success I could have of my own
-I feel like you’ve taught me how I should live
1 you’re making a big deal
-not at all
-oh yeah there is one thing I was concerned about
-the treasure of my world. What was it
2 what was it
-it’s ok. It’s not like I’m interrogating you about it
-then again, it doesn’t really matter now
-I haven’t said this to Makoto yet
-after meeting you guys, I realized
-the most important treasure inside of me is that justice that will protect the people most important to me
-Makoto taught me that too
-after Shidou’s done with, I’ll stop being a prosecutor and become an attorney
-I want to change those organizations preying on the weak. But I’ll leave that to other people
-from now on I want to see justice through for other people and not myself
-anyway, I’ll go do the paperwork
-oh yeah, one last thing
1 is there something else?
-based off your testimony, you were planning on quitting the thief troupe after the K incident
-so why did you continue being a thief?
-it might be me thinking too much
-didn’t you have a thing with Shidou way before then
-that seems too coincidental
-it’s like someone wrote this from the very beginning
Flashback to the hotel—it’s true that if I hadn’t met Shidou by coincidence there, I probably wouldn’t have thought about continuing being a thief
-Sae, could it be that you aimed for things to turn out like this from the beginning?
3 it was a game
-a game?
-it seems like an answer you would give me
-thanks to this job, I’ve seen a lot of evil and criminals that I don’t want to imagine
-but if there are young people like you in the world, I can’t give up on it yet
-sorry for taking so much time
-I shouldn’t let that person wait so long
-thank you very much. Really, thank you
-see you
MC is released from jail
Sojiro is here—I wasn’t planning on going to get you, but Futaba insisted
Stuck in traffic again
-So, we’re not moving at all
-another accident (on the news)
-I remember back in April. We went to see your school right? It was a regular day
1 you’re right
-almost a year since then huh
-now that I think about it, I was awful. Just tossing you into that storage room by yourself
-you’re fine now
-you’ve got some real good friends. When we get back, you thank them, yeah
MC enters the café and finds everyone there
-A, welcome home
-F, Namaste
-R, we did it
-Y, it’s been a while
-A, as I thought, you’re ok
-H, I’m so glad you’re doing well
-Ma, anyway sit down
-So, you guys have a lot to talk about right
-gonna go shopping for a bit
Sojiro leaves
-R, it really went well
-Ma, I’m so glad we didn’t give up
-Y, it was well worth the effort
-A, without you, we weren’t sure what we should do
-but we realized
-even without special powers or the other world, we can change reality
-R, for about a month after the turn of the year, we were running around
-H, it wasn’t just us. It was everyone that believed in you
-F, thanks to them, our plan to get our leader back was a success
1 thank you
-R, what are you saying? You’re the one that put yourself on the line
-A, you didn’t have any problems right? You look a little skinny
-Y, I heard that the meals there stink. I guess it can’t be helped
-so what did you eat
-F, was it nato? Smelly fish?
-Ma, I don’t think that’s actually the case
-R, if you want something tasty, we’ll be eating now
-Sojiro’s out to buy stuff for the party
-let’s go for it. We finally gathered everyone
-H, everyone?
-F, we’re short one
-A, yeah, Morgana
-Ma, he might have been the one that worked the hardest
-when we were about to give up that one time, we thought, if Morgana were here…
-R, that guy just hates giving up. he would have tried
-H, he always really brought us up
-Y, he was the engine of our thief troupe
-A, you mean he was the car, obviously
-F, I want to meet Mona again
-R, master sure was fast
Morgana enters
-M, did you call for me
-R, Mona?
-A, why are you here
-but you disappeared
-M, the one that disappeared was the me in the other world, it seems
-R, huh
-Ma, then what? Does that mean you’re left in the real world as a cat
-M, when I woke up, I was thrown out in Shibuya in this form
-R, I don’t know what the hell’s going on but if you were alive you should have come back right away
-M, but
-we left each other like that. it was kind of difficult to come back
-Y, it seems you’ve learned some compassion
-F, ah he’s growing
-M, anyway I knew that you guys found a witness, so I waited for MC to get out
-you guys really did a great job without me
-Ma, and you’re already looking down on us
-M, I’m sorry for making everyone worry
-ah before you hug me, can I borrow the shower. I was a stray cat for a long time, so I’m kind of smelly
-R, hey cat this isn’t the time to talk about a shower
-H, give me back my tears
-Y, this is unforgivable
Futaba grabs his whiskers
-M, stop
-what a welcome
-Ma, it has to be like this
-Y, now it’s back to normal
-R, yep
Everyone laughs
-A, it’s great that you’re back but what will you do now
-M, I was thinking about it
-there has to be a way to become human, right
-Ma, really?
-M, I know that I’m not human but it’s not like there isn’t a way to become one
Music stops
-R, so I heard from the master you’re going back to your hometown
-are you sure you won’t stay? You’re innocent but they’ll still label
-Ma, what’s wrong?
-how about we do it like this
-if our leader returns, then the thieves are disbanded officially
-today is the celebration for him getting out of juvi and our dissolution
-A, is that something we should celebrate
-Ma, I said that seriously though…
-H, it doesn’t seem too bad
-R, that’s what it is
-so we have to get excited twice as much
Morgana clears his throat
-M, it’s sudden but I’ll follow MC
-he has something, I think
-if I follow him then maybe I’ll figure out how to become human
-besides, he might fall off the cart again
2 I haven’t ever fallen off the cart
-was that the case
-so you can add my farewell party to that too
-R, but that doesn’t matter I guess
-H, so you’re going home next month
-Y, it’s too soon for a farewell party
-Ma, and then it’ll be hard to figure out who’s the star of the party
-M, then it can be my revival party. No problem there
-get some sushi. Sushi!
Sojiro comes back
-So, sounds quite lively in here. I heard from outside
-I thought I heard a cat. You came back
-Ma, master, these guys are mean
-So, as always you’re such a loud cat
-M, hey I’m not a regular old cat
-So, I don’t understand anything you’re saying, but here
-M, don’t give me this, I want sushi
-this is delicious
-So, what a self-centered cat. I wonder who he’s similar to
-Y, if Morgana becomes human, he’d be exactly like this guy
-H, I see
-F, that could be the case
-M, I would be like him?
-well that wouldn’t be too bad
-I just don’t want to become Ryuji
-R, what
-M, that’s what I’m talking about. You get mad instantly. It’s low-brow
-R, damn you I’ll make you disappear again
-A, shut up you two. Don’t fight in the middle of the celebration
-Ma, ah it’s started again
-So, even if the world changes, you guys won’t
-F, absolutely. And Mr Fox is a pervert too
-Y, who’s a pervert
-R, anyway, we’re all gathered here finally
-now let’s get this party going
-Y, might as well
-F, Sojiro, sushi!
Evening time, in the room
-M, delicious meal and a nice futon. I’ve graduated from the stray cat life
-at first it was an abandoned attic. But once you live there, it’s luxurious
-I’ll be counting on you when we go back to your hometown
Text from Makoto—I couldn’t say this in front of everyone
-I want to meet, just the two of us. Can I come to leblanc tomorrow
1 I’ll be waiting for you
-thanks
-I’ll come once the store closes
-good night
-M, as always with you
-anyway, let’s get to sleep. We’re helping out in the store tomorrow

Tuesday, February 17
Downstairs
-So, I thought it was strange having seen people bring women here. Today’s Valentine’s Day isn’t it
-don’t you have some kind of romantic thing going on? it’s already been a year since you’ve come here
-when I was young…
Makoto enters
-Ma, good evening
-I’m sorry for coming late. Um…
-So, oh come on. if this was it then you should have said something
-I’ll leave the rest to you
-take your time
At the table with Makoto
-Ma, thanks for seeing me
1 take it easy tonight
-yeah
-this…
-I thought about making it myself, but would have that been better?
1 next time
-then you should look forward to it
Receive a gift: Makoto’s true favorite chocolate
-I’m really glad I made it in time
-this is my first real chocolate. I wanted to give it to you in person
1 thank you
-I’m really happy that you said that
-I’m trying my hardest with entrance exams. I’m trying for law school
-I want to become a police official. Same as before.
-I’m sure I can do it. If it’s for you
2 just what I expected of the honor student
-you know I’m not that

-I can stay like this, can’t I
We enjoyed our time together

Sunday, March 19
-So, hey so you’re finally leaving tomorrow huh
-F, Sojiro said you didn’t have to help with the store today
-So, before you go, you should talk to your friends and the people that helped you out
1 that’s what I’ll do
-yeah, go on
-F, don’t cry just because you’re lonely
Talk to Futaba
-F, you’re going home tomorrow right
-it’ll be lonely, but do your best MC
-even if we die, still thick as thieves
Talk to Sojiro
-So, don’t worry about me
-anyway when you get back, make sure you sort out your luggage
-don’t forget the stuff that’s important
I should turn in the diary that I had made during probation
1
-ah so you had this already huh
-you wrote in it every day
-I’ll take it, thanks
-but to think you were doing such big things behind the scenes
-when you get home, keep your head down
-go see everyone and be careful
Go outside
-M, that’s right. You had some messages on your phone. Who’s it from

-there’s something I want to give you, MC
-I’ll be near Syujin
-M, should we go?
Ok
-Ma, I know you’re busy, sorry
-when I thought I’d be far away, I wanted to meet you before I left
-I’ll try my hardest in my studies at college so I can become a police official
3 I want to go to the same university as you
-oh, really? Then I’ll have to make sure you study well
-you know, I think I was a coward. To protect myself I did whatever the adults told me to
-but you changed me from the person that would look away from the truth
-and the reason I think I can live the way I want is because you showed me many worlds
-now I can hold myself high and say that I like myself
Receive Fuchimaru-kun collectible
-that’s what led me to like studying
-if I said that was my starting point, would it be an exaggeration? Even if it looks like this, it’s useful. Give it a shot
-I think I can do my best in my studies even though we’re apart
-being apart is so hard. Even though I was fine by myself up until now
-it’s because you made me stop being the honor student
Talk to Tae
-T, hey
-so you’re going home tomorrow right? Let me report

-you’re right. I can’t help but look forward to it

-and thank you for helping me out with Oyamare. You were always throwing yourself to help out
Receive dog tag
-I really wanted to meet her
-but we’ll have to do that some other time
-as long as you live, we’ll be able to meet again. Take care
Talk to Sae
-Sae, looks like you’re doing well
-I’m coming back from work so I stopped by
-I came around here before. I’m quite the fan of Leblanc’s coffee
-you’re going home tomorrow right
3 I’m glad we could meet
-yeah
-take care
-as sad as it may seem, there are many adults like the ones the thieves hated. They’re everywhere
-when you go home I’m sure there will be some
-don’t get influenced by them
-and take this
Received Sae’s lawyer business card
-I’ll be counting on you. If anything happens, give me a call
-but I’m sure you’ll be fine if it’s you. The you that never loses sight of himself
Find Lavenza
-L, you came to say goodbye
-now that you’ve gained a place where you belong, you shouldn’t feel limited anymore
-I learned from you that sometimes you need to throw yourself at it for others
-I pray that wherever you may go that you will not lose sight of your path
2 I’ll make that path
-yes, that’s the case
-I don’t want to leave you with just words. I wanted to give you something
-not as someone that would guide you, but as me. the will of Lavenza herself
-as a gift to the man that sought what he believed even through death
Received prison key
-that is the key to the cell that you were imprisoned in
-normally as a guest of the Velvet Room, you’d receive that key right away
-but I couldn’t give that to you. So at the very least I can give you this as a parting gift
-whatever difficulties that may trap you, use this to escape
-even though I say that, you’ve already chosen true freedom. You’ll never be trapped again
Go back to the café
-So, so you’re done talking to everyone
-so how was it? Do you think you want to stay
1 of course
-I see. So you have a lot of fond memories here huh
-leaving tomorrow morning right? Through Shibuya. Make sure you get your luggage set up before you sleep
-oh yeah don’t forget to take your idiot cat. If it gets lost and comes here, it’ll be a problem
-M, don’t make fun of me. I can go anywhere all by myself
-So, as always, meowing like crazy
-hey Futaba, what did the cat say. Is he going to be sad leaving here
-F, he said “you’re an idiot Sojiro”
-So, what
-M, don’t translate it directly. Let me part here on nice terms
-F, you take care of Mona and I’ll take care of Sojiro
-even without you MC I’ll do my best
-so you do your best MC
-thank you for everything

Monday, March 20
-So, hey
-you didn’t forget anything right
-I took you in to reform you but you ended up helping me
-take care
2 don’t get too lonely
-cut that out. But if a woman said that, it’d be something else
-sorry, Futaba said she wanted to see you off
-but I haven’t seen her since this morning
-and the cat
-if you come this way, drop by. I’ll treat you to a cup of coffee
-although if the store’s full it’d be bad

2 thank you
-yeah, you’re welcome
