“This blows.”

Rei's sentiment echoes throughout the cramped train carriage as you nod in agreement. “Tell me about it. I had to postpone meeting my parents for this mission.”

It still gets your blood boiling. You understand the importance of catching Yami before he does any more harm, but when all of Class 2 was shipped off to investigate demon activity in the town of Tomi you felt a sinking feeling in your gut. You had spent the last week mentally preparing yourself to visit your family and reconnect with the parents you have no memories of, only to have the rug swept out from under you.

“Don't worry jellybean,” Saki smiles as she sits on your lap, an act born more from necessity than comfort. “We'll have another chance to visit. Right after Halloween, I promise.”

“Instead, you'll all be meeting my parents,” Kosuke sighs in the space next to you.

“That's what I don't understand,” Ken comments. “Apparently, your folks are investors in the Academy? How did they get the money to do that?”

Rini lets out a hearty chuckle as she wraps her arms around Kosuke. “Well, should you tell them or should I?”

“Guess the cat's out of the bag now,” Kosuke mutters, casually scratching the top of his head. “My family's loaded. We come from old money... own a mansion and everything. That's where we'll be staying.”

“Your family is...” you pause. “How the hell has this not come up before?”

Kosuke shrugs. “Didn't think it was important. Besides, I'm a lazy delinquent. I didn't want anybody knowing I was from a family of wealthy socialites, or else Saki or somebody would lecture me on not behaving properly for my status.”

Saki gasps. “Kosuke, I would never do that! Okay... maybe in the past I might have, but I know that being upper-class doesn't make you better than anyone! Take my parents for example...”

“Yeah, my folks are a lot nicer than yours,” Kosuke replies. “The fact that they let me go to this stinking academy with Rini instead of shipping me off to some snooty boarding school is proof of that.”

“So does this mean that your family is rich too, Rini?” Nanami asks.

Rini scoffs. “Hah! I wish! But I gotta say, Kosuke's folks are real sweethearts. They knew I was from a poor family, but it didn't matter! When they saw that I was Kosuke's best friend, they welcomed me with open arms. Oh man, I can't wait to see the look on their faces when they find out we're actually dating!”

“They'll probably ask what took you guys so long-”

“-And that we've done it! Eight times!” Rini laughs.

As Saki gasps and covers her ears, Rei leans forward and shakes her head. “You might not want to tell them that last part.

“What's this?” Rini asks. “Some jealousy coming from one half of the fourth best couple in this carriage?”

Rei scowls. “Hey, what do you think you're implying? Me and Isamu aren't a couple, dammit!”

“You are sitting on his lap,” Saki comments, pointing out the snoring Isamu behind her.

“So what?” Rei protests. “It's only because there's not a lot of space here...”

“Then why are you holding his hand?” she asks.

A flustered Rei shakes her head. “He asked me to! Said it would help him sleep! I don't have to explain my actions to you!”

“Besides...” Nanami mutters. “Ken and I aren't really a couple either.”

“Like hell you aren't!” Rini snaps.

“I mean,” Ken clarifies. “We go on dates and we both like each-other, but we're not exactly... boyfriend and girlfriend yet...”

“We get it Ken, you're afraid of commitment!” Rei snaps.

Rini clenches her fist into a ball. “If you had any sense in you, you'd strap a ring on pirate-girl then plough her until she can't walk the next day!”

Ken lowers his cap in order to hide his face, which has turned beet red rather quickly at the thought.

The train comes to a dead stop, as the rest of you begin to grab your bags. “Still not feeling good about this...” you mutter.

“Look on the bright side, Ryoji!” Saki smiles. “We're out here together as a class, it's a nice piece of country, we'll be staying in a mansion... it's like a school trip!”

“I like my school trips to be someone a little more fun,” you reply as you sling a bag over your shoulder. “Like the beach or something.”

“This is hardly the time of year for a beach trip!” Saki laughs. “Come on, it'll be fun! And we might get a chance of taking down this Yami too!”

You hop off at the train station, and with the class led by Kosuke, you find yourself hiking up a steep road, followed by an even steeper pathway towards the mansion home of Kosuke's family.

The massive doors of the mansion swing open and you are greeted by a rather young and very beautiful looking maid. She gives a small curtsey, but you can tell by the look on her face that she's overwhelmed by the number of visitors.

“Hello and welcome to the Tatsumi Residence,” she bows. “Welcome home, Master Kosu-”

“Rui?” Kosukes asks. “Is that you?”

The maid blushes a little as she nods. “Yes... it's been a while, hasn't it?”

“I'll say!” Rini chimes in. “Haven't seen you since middle school!”

“When did you start working for my parents?”

Rui bites her bottom lip. “It was during the summer... I needed an extra job and they decided to help me out!”

Rini chuckles and pats Rui on the back, giving her a little jolt. “Haha! You know, we never talked all that much in school, but out of all the squares and losers in that place you were one of the less terrible!”

“Oh...” a confused Rui mutters. “Thanks! I... think? You know, I always wanted to hang out with you two, but you were always getting into trouble, and I guess I wasn't brave enough for that...”

“Bro, your maid is so freaking hot!” Seishiro exclaims, placing his hand on Kosuke's shoulder. He's practically bouncing up and down in place as he does. “Why didn't you tell me you had a hot maid?!”

“I didn't know,” Kosuke shrugs.

“She is absolutely adorable, from bottom to top!” Chihiro exclaims.

“Yeah...” Hikaru mutters. “You can stop staring at her legs anytime you want, by the way.”

Akio turns to his girlfriend and frantically shakes his head. “W-what?! I wasn't staring!”

“She really is something,” Ken comments.

“Y-yeah, she is...” Nanami nervously chuckles as she looks at Ken with concern.

“A Goddess among servants!” A half-awake Isamu exclaims, earning himself an elbow in the ribs from Rei.

“She's beautiful!” Akemi exclaims. “What do you think, Raiden?”

Raiden stares at Rui, then gives a shrug. “She's alright, I guess...”

Rui blushes and cups her face in her hands. “Oh, your friends or all so nice! I'm getting embarrassed!”

“Ignore them,” Kosuke replies. “They're all very perverted. It's a serious problem among our class. Where's mom and dad?”

“Right this way Ko-chan-I mean... Master Kosuke...” Rui nervously giggles, before motioning your group towards the dining room.

“So...” Saki mutters as she walks by your side.

“So... what?” you ask.

“Aren't you going to say something?” Saki asks. “You know, about the maid?”

“Why would I?”

“Don't play dumb, Ryoji!” Saki pouts. “We all heard how much the class gushed over her! Even I can see that she's gorgeous!”

“Okay... and?”

“And?” Saki gasps. “Ryoji, you haven't said anything about it! You didn't even stare! I trust you, Ryoji... you don't have to abstain from staring just because of me! It's okay!”

“I know that,” you chuckle in reply. “It only takes five seconds for me to check a woman out. Any more than that and you're being a drooling idiot.”

“Oh...” Saki mutters, slightly embarrassed for having brought it up. “Well... that's good!”

“Did you just make yourself jealous?” you tease.

Saki shakes her head. “N-no! I didn't! Uhh... on an unrelated note, what do you think about me... maybe... buying a maid costume?”

You begin to laugh as the red-faced Saki pouts even more. You step into the dining room right behind Kosuke and are welcomed by the faces of two classy looking blondes. Kosuke's parents no doubt.

“Son, you've arrived!” Mr. Tatsumi smiles. “I see your classmates have arrived too!”

“Yep.”

“That's a lot of students,” Mrs. Tatsumi remarks.

Kosuke smirks. “Come on mom, don't pretend we don't have enough rooms to fit them.”

“Quite true!” Mrs. Tatsumi laughs, before turning her attention to you and Saki. “And now for introductions! Who might you be?”

>Ryoji Shida, Master Delinquent!

Mr. Tatsumi lets out a hearty chuckle as he turns his head to Kosuke. "Let me guess... this is one of your friends, isn't it Kosuke?"

Kosuke nods and his father chuckles once more. "A-ha! Of course he is! That reminds me... where is-"

The door of the dining room shuts behind you as Rini steps inside, standing by Kosuke's side.

The Tatsumis smile brightly as they see her enter. "Ah, Rini! It's been far too long!" Mr. Tatsumi exclaims.

"Yeah, I guess it kinda has..." Rini chuckles, scratching the back of her head.

"My, how you've grown!" Mrs. Tatsumi remarks. "Oh, it's so good to see the two of you are still so close. You were inseparable growing up!"

"We're still pretty inseparable right now," Kosuke replies. "Mom, Dad... we have some news for you..."

Mr. Tatsumi smiles, but holds a finger up. "Interesting, but I'm afraid it will have to wait until dinner. We have duties to take care of, and you need to get settled in. Rui, you and the rest of the staff take their bags upstairs. We'll reconvene later in the day."

Kosuke's parents step out of the room, as Rui smiles brightly at Kosuke. "So... what's the news?"

Kosuke looks over at the excited Rui, before letting out a sigh. "Well, I guess there's no harm in telling you now... me and Rini are together now."

Rui claps her hands together. "Oh, congratulations! That is so... oh no!"

You raise an eyebrow in confusion towards Rui's gasp. "Huh?"

A bead of sweat falls from Rui's forehead. "Well, uhh... you see... let me get your bags!"

Rui rushes out of the dining room and into the foyer.

"What was that about?" you ask.

"No idea," Kosuke shrugs.

"Probably jealous," Rini remarks. "I always figured that she had a crush on you."

As you step out into the foyer, Saki tugs on your sleeve. "So, should we get moving?"

"What?" you ask.

"You know," Saki shrugs. "We can't waste any time in investigating the demonic presence here. We should gather a team and search the grounds right away."

>Yeah, let's do that.
>We can take five minutes to settle in at least, Sak.
>Give it a minute, I want to ask this maid a few things first.

>We can take five minutes to settle in at least, Sak.

Saki gives a slight pause. "But Ryoji, five minutes is all it could take between life and being torn apart by a chainsaw!"

"That recording really got to you, didn't it?" you reply. "Don't worry too much, Sak. Five minutes won't make a difference. Besides, if Yami's around he's not going to strike this early. We should take some time to settle in, get prepared..."

"You're right Ryoji, I guess we should-"

"-And pick out the bed we're going to share," you smirk.

Saki's face turns bright red. "W-what?"

"I mean, this is a school trip," you tease. "Kind of a special occasion, don't you think? Besides, this mansion may be huge, but it's obvious some of us are going to have to share."

Saki freezes up as she soon feels a pat on her back. "That's right!" Rini chuckles. "Come on tight-butt! I'll show you to our room!"

"D-did you just say...?" Saki mumbles as you follow her up the large staircase and down the hallway, picking the door at the end which brings you into a massive room with ornate decorations and a bed so unbelievably huge that you figure it could fit the entire class with ease.

"Me, you, Kosuke and Ryoji will be sharing this room," Rini smirks. "Be thankful, this is the best room in this place. It's where Kosuke grew up."

"Holy crap, this is your childhood room?!" you exclaim towards Kosuke as he enters the room.

"Yeah," he replies with a shrug. "Don't make a big deal out of it."

"Hard not to," Saki remarks. "This is all very impressive. I grew up in wealth, but this... you're very lucky to have the parents you do."

"I don't really care about money-"

"Not just the money," Saki replies. "They were so kind... Kosuke, despite your laziness, you may just be the luckiest human being I've ever met."

"Of course he is!" Rini pumps her fist. "He's got me as a girlfriend!"

"That reminds me..." Saki begins. "Since we're sharing this bed tonight... can you promise not to do anything... you know..."

"Lewd?" Rini asks in a mocking, teasing tone. "No promises."

"B-but-"

"Not your house, not your rules!" Rini chuckles. "Face it, Saki! You'll have to watch me and Kosuke get lewder than your wildest imaginations!"

"Ryojiiiiiii!" Saki whines as you pat her on the head.

"Calm down Saki," you reply. "She's just teasing you... right, Rini?"

Rini shrugs. "Who knows?"

As Saki begins to panic at the prospect, she unpacks both her suitcase and yours with rapid speed. Now's probably as good a time as any to check in on some of the others, see how they're settling in. Rini informs you of who's staying in what room, and some of the combinations are... interesting.

>Chihiro, Nariko, Hiro, Sayeka

Hearing that room arrangement from Rini filled you with an intense feeling of dread and worry for Hiro. You find yourself constantly reconsidering whether or not you actually want to check the room out. You make your way towards the room as you hear the faint sound of giggling from the other end. When Chihiro and Nariko are concerned, that's rarely a good sign.

You swing the door open... and find yourself immediately shutting it again, just as quickly shutting your eyes as tightly as you can. "Guys..." you mutter from the other end of the door. "You should lock this thing when you're changing."

"Ohoho! Did Ryoji see something he wasn't supposed to?" you hear Chihiro laughing from the other side of the room. "Give us a moment, sweetie!"

"Ryoji saw us..." you hear Sayeka sigh wearily. "Well, I suppose this was inevitable."

"Oh! Sayeka, you're turning red!" Chihiro laughs, as you hear struggling from within. Chihiro must be molesting her friend in some way.

You wait outside until you're given the all-clear to enter. You step in and notice someone sitting in the corner of the room you didn't expect to see. "Hang on..." you mutter. "Were you in here the whole time, Hiro?"

"Yes," Hiro smiles, his hands sitting gently upon his lap. "Why do you ask?"

"The girls were... they... screw it, nevermind..." you sigh. You knew Hiro was dense, but this is a whole other level.

"Oh, we don't mind him being here!" Nariko swoons. "He's completely harmless."

"That's true!" Hiro laughs. "I've never harmed anyone!"

"Right..." you mutter.

"So, what brings you here, Ryoji?" Chihiro asks as she throws her arms around you. "Saddened that you can't spend the night with your good friend Chihiro?"

"Just checking in," you clarify. "I seriously hope you girls aren't going to torment Hiro tonight."

"I would never torment him," Sayeka mutters.

"And the other two?" you smirk. Sayeka remains silent.

Hiro stands up and stretches out. "I don't understand, why would they torment me. These three are my friends!"

... And they all just undressed in front of him. You briefly consider smacking Hiro across the head and giving him the all important talk, but he's too good of a kid for that.

>So Sayeka, word is there's a kid in school who doesn't appear in your visions? That's curious.
>Chihiro, you must be missing Alice now that she's on that mission.
>Hey Nariko, who's taking care of your cats?

>>752919
>Hey Nariko, who's taking care of your cats?

>>752919
>>So Sayeka, word is there's a kid in school who doesn't appear in your visions? That's curious.

I want it, there's some part of me that wants to ruin Hiro but he's just too pure for that.

>So Sayeka, word is there's a kid in school who doesn't appear in your visions? That's curious.

Sayeka turns her head in the direction of your voice. "Word?"

"Well, Chihiro told me," you explain.

"Ah," Sayeka nods. "That makes sense... I apologise, my mind has been fixated on it for a while now. I simply don't understand..."

"I theorise that it must be fate!" Chihiro smirks. "You should have seen it, Ryoji! He's a truly, truly handsome man! And he walked up to Sayeka and told her that she was beautiful, which of course she is! And then Sayeka said she couldn't sense him at all! It must be some kind of destiny!"

"What's this guy's name?" you ask.

"Taiyo," Sayeka mutters. "I've asked around the school for information, but the most I've been able to gather is that... well, he's handsome."

"And he likes animals!" Nariko smiles. "He's even feeding my cats while we're here!"

"It's not the information I need," Sayeka sighs. "I'm very confused, Ryoji."

You pause. "Huh... better keep an eye on this guy then. That's definitely weird..."

"Indeed," Sayeka hangs her head low. "Before this, the only person to not appear in my visions was... myself. Knowing of this boys existence causes me to question everything I see."

You scratch the back of your head in confusion. You should make note to talk about this with The Stranger when you get the chance. You've never got the hang of talking to that demon... seems he only speaks when he chooses too. Perhaps if you carried out some of those meditation exercise Sora talks about you'd be able to get in better contact with him.

"Now then, it's time for Hiro to change!" Nariko smiles, as she claps her hands together. "Hurry and get undressed!"

You shake your head as you step out of the room. She's going to eat that poor boy alive tonight, isn't she? Maybe Sayeka can try to restore order, but you can tell she has a lot on her mind. You're apparently to convene with the Tatsumis in the dinning room, but you still have time to visit another group between now and then.

>Hikaru, Akio, Seishiro, Satomi

Thinking over that room arrangement, you can feel the tension from here. You're probably going to have to relieve some things. As you approach the door to their room, you can hear yelling from the other end.

"Come on, stop pretending that you weren't staring!" Hikaru's voice rings out.

"I swear babe, I wasn't staring at her! Why would I when I have you?"

"It's okay to look, just be honest with me!"

"Okay... fine, I was looking!"

"Then why didn't you tell me the first time I asked, you idiot?!"

As you enter the room you see the angry Hikaru lightly slapping Akio on the arm.

"Bro, looks like you two are in a rough patch," Seishiro remarks, lying back in the bed. "Maybe it's better if you broke up."

"Shut up, Seishiro!" Hikaru yells. "It's a minor argument! We aren't breaking up!"

Meanwhile, a very uncomfortable Satomi is reading a science textbook in the corner of the room, burying her face inside. Occasionally, she glances over to Hikaru, but immediately lets her eyes dart back to the book.

"Now get out of here, you two," Akio replies. "Me and Hikaru are about to have our make-up make-out session."

"No way!" Seishiro protests. "You can't just make us leave, bro!"

"That's fine, as long as you don't mind me and Hikaru making out for the next half hour!"

"Sure!" Seishiro pumps his fist. "But I'm sure you won't mind me making out with Satomi-"

"No," Satomi mutters. "Please no."

"Hate to interrupt the big happy family," you clear your throat to grab the room's attention, "But I thought I'd just check in on all of you."

"We're doing fine," Akio smirks. "I'm about to make-out with my girl, and my girl will be sharing a bed with her old friend tonight which opens up a lot of fantasies..."

Hikaru both share an awkward look at the comment.

"Yeah, and me and Aki are sharing a bed too!" Seishiro comments, seemingly in a non-sequitur.

Damn, this is a mess. Who thought it was a good idea to put them all in a room together?

>Hikaru, are you missing the library job?
>Akio, can you tell me about the end of your training again?
>Satomi, isn't it great to be sharing a room with old friend again?

>>753033
>>Seishiro, please tell me you won't be hitting on Satomi all night?

>>753033

>Seishiro, please tell me you won't be hitting on Satomi all night?

Seishiro lets out a hearty laugh. "Nah, I wouldn't bother her all night... unless she wants me too?"

"I don't," Satomi mumbles.

"Well... there you go. She's not really my type anyway. Too nerdy and friendless."

Satomi buries herself in the book, as Hikaru glares angrily at Seishiro. "What?" Seishiro asks. "It's not like a lied or anything!"

"It's still a crappy thing to say," Hikaru scolds him, removing herself from Akio's lap to approach Satomi. "Hey, look... Seishiro's an idiot. Don't let what he said get to you."

Satomi silently nods, but doesn't pull her face from the book. "Hey..." Hikaru notices, "That's overdue from the library by a month!"

"S-sorry..." Satomi mumbles. "I just like it a lot, and I didn't want to return it to you because-"

"-It's fine," Hikaru interrupts. "Keep it."

"Why?" Satomi asks. "Shouldn't you hate me for this? Yell at me?"

"Nah, you like the book," Hikaru shrugs. "Can't fault you for that. Besides, it's not my job anymore."

You look over at Seishiro disapprovingly, and he scratches the back of his head before talking to Satomi. "Hey... I didn't mean what I said... I like you. I think you're, uhh... pretty neat."

He's only regurgitating something Akemi said to him a while back, but it's good to know that Seishiro is at least trying to be nice.

"Umm... thanks?" Satomi asks. "Does this mean I have to like you?"

"No."

"Good. Because... I don't," Satomi admits. "I think you're awful."

With that, you take your leave from the room, wiping a bead of sweat from your forehead. It's amazing that those four are able to share a room in at least a semi-peaceful manner, but you wouldn't be surprised of that bed was on fire by the end of the night somehow.

As you step out into the hallway, you feel a pair of hands landing upon your back. "Boo!" Saki yells out, forcing you to turn around. "Did I get you?"

"Getting into the Halloween spirit a little early, aren't you Sak?" you smirk.

Saki pouts. "Aw, I thought I would have spooked you! Why are you always laid-back, it's infuriating!"

"Because Sak," you reply, patting her on the head. "You're enough of a bundle of nerves for the both of us."

Saki blubbers out some annoyed comment that you find indecipherable, but eventually she calms down. "Okay... so are you ready for this dinner?" she asks.

>Sure, should be delicious.
>Nah, let's skip the dinner and start searching the grounds.

>Nah, let's skip the dinner and start searching the grounds.

Saki nods with determination. "Right. While everyone else is eating, you and I can take part in this investigation. Good thinking, Ryoji. Always good to get a head start."

As you and Saki turn to walk down the stairs, you are interrupted by a familiar voice. "You two are going to skip the dinner, right?"

You turn around to see Raiden standing atop the staircase, his arms crossed.

"Yeah, we are," you answer.

Raiden nods. "Good, I'll come along."

"What about the dinner?" Saki asks.

"I don't care about that," Raiden explains. "Akemi is excited about the meal, but... too many people. In close proximity... eating... it's not for me. Also, I hate the idea of maids. Having someone serve me makes me feel uncomfortable."

You shake your head. "You know, you don't have to make a bunch of excuses as to why you want to come, Raiden."

"You're right," Raiden mutters as he walks down the steps, meeting you until the both of you meet eye to eye. "I'm just eager to kill a demon."

"Then come along," you nod.

The three of you step out of the building as Raiden materialises his pistols the second you step out onto the front lawn.

"Raiden, aren't you... pardon the pun, jumping the gun a little?" Saki asks.

"I'm being prepared," Raiden mutters. "If we find this demon, I don't want to allow him any chance to escape again. He can't get away... he can't do what he did again... that monster..."

"I get it..." you reply. "This is about your hometown."

"What?" Raiden asks.

"The first village destroyed by the Archdemon," you explain. "You grew up in the orphanage there, didn't you?"

Raiden remains silent, simply looking away.

"Did that place mean a lot to you?" you ask.

"No," Raiden mutters. "I hated it there. I never had any intention of going back."

"I see," you reply. "But you're upset because..."

"Because that demon removed the option," Raiden replies. "I never would have returned to that hole, but I liked having the option. Having a place I could go... these monsters take more and more from me every day... soon, I'll have nothing left."

>You still have us.

"What?" Raiden asks, a tone of genuine confusion in his voice. "What do you mean?"

"You have us," you reply. "You know... your friends?"

"Ryoji..." Raiden mutters. "We aren't friends. I respect you, but I tried to kill you. After that... I don't have the right to call you my friend. I'm undeserving of it."

"No you're not," you reply. "You'll always have us, Raiden... whether you like it or not. You have me, you have Saki, you have Akemi... we're all here for you. It never hurts to fall back on the support of your friends."

"Yeah!" Saki chimes in. "You may not have been perfect in the past, but you're one of our own."

Raiden stares at you, before briefly lowering his pistol. "Thank you... both of you. That said... I still can't let these monsters take any more from me. I already lost Maya, I lost my home... I can't afford to lose any of you... to lose Akemi..."

"You shouldn't let yourself be consumed by vengeance, Raiden..." Saki mutters. "It won't end well for you."

Raiden shakes his head. "Vengeance fuels me, Saki. As long as I draw breath, I will never give up in my pursuit of it."

The three of you begin to search the mansion grounds, but finding no apparent signs of Yami. Dammit... if only The Stranger could chime in with anything he can sense.

"Someone call for me?" Stranger voice rings out in your head.

"Yeah, about time. Sense anything?"

"Yeah, but... it's weird..." Stranger mutters.

"In what way? What are you talking about?" you ask.

"Well, you see... the power I can sense is right beneath you."

"Beneath me?!"

As if answering your question, as hand reaches up from the ground and grabs at your ankles. You jump back before it can grab hold, as the ground gives way and a green-skinned ghoul crawls up from the earth. You turn your head to see it accompanied by three more rising up from the ground.

"So... the demon is here," Raiden mutters.

Saki summons her lance as the three of you prepare for battle, with the four ghouls surrounding you in a circle.

Raiden holds up his guns and fires at one of the ghouls from a distance. His bullets spin through the air and connect with the ghouls head, piercing through it with ease and causing the ghoul to fall back to the ground, easily defeated. These things aren't very durable at all, are they?

Saki readies her lance as you look over to her, giving her an approving nod as she launches herself forward, her small stature being easily pulled along by the weight of her lance, sending her thrusting and driving towards one of the ghouls like a drill. She pierces the monster, tearing part of it's hip off with ease. The ghoul seems to have managed to survive the attack, but Saki isn't though as she follows this attack up by launching herself towards another ghoul, this time tearing it apart in a single thrust of the lance.

As Saki turns around and steadies her lance once more, the half torn Ghoul scrambles towards you attempting to claw at you, while another rushes towards Raiden in an attempt to take him down.

The ghoul comes shambling towards you, but it's barely even hanging together in it's current state after the damage done to it by Saki. You're easily able to move out of the way and back up into a safe position.

The Ghoul headed for Raiden comes much closer to making contact, but the dark and brooding member of Class 2 dodges at the last second, still making sure to keep his guns drawn and pointed at the enemy.

"These things are pathetic," Raiden mutters. "They're no challenge at all... still, they may not be the Archdemon, but they still need to be destroyed."

Raiden reloads as Saki holds her lance high. "You're right. Let's finish them off now as soon as possible so that we can get back to the others and let them know about this. If Yami's here, we're going to need every last one of us to take him on."

You nod as you fix the gauntlet around your wrist. Only two ghouls left, and one of them is mostly torn apart. This will be a piece of cake.

>Raiden: 32 + 13

Raiden raises his pistol high and fires upon on of the two remaining ghouls, but the ghoul seems to be moving faster than expected and Raiden bullets just about whizz past the monsters ear. Raiden grimaces in frustration and you decide to pick up the slack, firing upon the half-torn ghoul with your fireworks gauntlet. Usually you would do little damage to an enemy with something like this, but with the ghoul already weakened it doesn't take much for the fireworks to seriously harm it, immolating the ghoul with ease. It burns up until it's shrivelled on the ground.

Saki meanwhile readies her lance and charges towards the ghoul that Raiden missed, ramming through it without any major difficulty, the monster if impaled upon the lance as Saki thrusts upwards to the sky with it, and before long it is dissolving into the black goo of the Darkworld along with the others.

As the creatures clear up, Saki lets out a sigh of relief. "Well, that takes care of them... but they can't be the extent of the demon presence around here..."

"I'm sniffing out, but I can't find any sign of this Yami figure," The Stranger explains. "He could just be hiding his power like before, but something tells me he's not here right now."

"Well, is there any trace of him having left something behind?" you ask. "Four easy to kill ghouls can't be all he left here."

"I'm not sensing a damn thing... but I'll keep my senses alert. Hiding his presence like that has to be tiring and he has to take a break from it every now and then. Besides, he may be able to hide his own demonic presence, but I don't think the same extends for any Darkworlders he may summon."

"You look like you're talking to The Stranger," Saki says, noting your introspective appearance.

Raiden folds his arms. "What does the demon say?"

"He can't trace anything, but he'll keep looking," you reply. "We should head back inside and inform the others for now."

The three of you nod as you make your way inside of the mansion. It's so strange... Yami's too powerful for a simple ghoul summon to be all the destruction he intended to create in this area. You withdraw your weapons as you enter the main foyer of the mansion, where you are welcomed by Rui.

"Welco-oh dear... your clothes are covered in mud!"

"Oh," you remark, looking down at your stained jacket. "Yeah... the three of us were playing a game of catch out back... guess we didn't realise how messy we've gotten..."

"This is no good!" Rui pouts, a bead of sweat dripping down her forehead. "If mud gets anywhere, I can be in big trouble! Mr and Mrs. Tatsumi are the best bosses, but enough messes and they'll have to let me go! I beg you, before you go into the dining room, come with me! We can clean your clothes in no-time flat, I promise!"

Rui is sporting a big, hopeful smile on her face as you eye up the dining room door.

>Fine, lead the way.

>Fine, lead the way.

"Oh, thank you!" Rui smiles as she clasps her hands together. "I wasn't sure if you'd be so considerate! Because you're so tall and scary..."

"I'm scary?" you ask.

"You are a rough and tough delinquent Ryoji," Saki teases.

"Yeah, but if any of us is the scary one, it would be Raiden, right?"

Raiden stares at you and shrugs. "I don't know, Akemi doesn't think I'm scary."

"Yeah, but that's just Akemi."

"Fair point."

"Come, follow me!" Rui smiles. "She leads the three of you into the mansion's laundry room, countless washers and dryers lined up along the walls. "Let's see, let's see..." she mutters as she grabs some folded clothes. "These look to be your sizes. Take off your muddy clothes and put these on. Then we you can join the rest of the dinner... though it's probably all been eaten by now."

You nod as you begin to remove your shirt and pants. "Umm..." a blushing Saki mumbles, "Do I have to undress here? People are watching..."

Rui points Saki towards a screen that she can change behind as she throws the clothes into the wash. "So... you're friends with Kosuke, right?"

"Best friends, yes."

"I'm not," Raiden mutters.

"Is he exactly as I remember him from school?" Rui asks.

You shrug. "I don't know. How was he in school?"

"Well..." Rui begins. "He was always incredibly lazy. Didn't really believe in anything or have a lot of energy. But he was funny, and you could tell he ultimately cared a lot about people, especially Rini... you could always tell how in love those two were, long before they realised it themselves."

"Yeah, that sounds like our Kosuke," you remark.

Rui smiles. "Good. It's nice to know that Master Kosu... Ko-Chan, is just as good a person as I remember him. Oh, it's such a shame that..."

You raise an eyebrow. "That what?" you ask.

"Oh no..." Rui mutters. "I've said too much, haven't I? Well... I can't tell you anymore than I already have! If I do, I might get fired!"

>What's more important, your job or your friend?

"Well..." Rui hesitantly places a finger to her chin. "I mean... my job is very important. But Kosuke is a good person... oh, it's so confusing! I... I... fine, I have to tell you, I can't keep it in!"

Rui takes a deep breath. "Okay... The Tatsumi's have been making deals with another socialite family... the Koyama family, and... well... they made an agreement."

"What kind of agreement?" Raiden asks. "Get to the point."

"The Tatsumi's agreed to marry off their eldest born son to the Koyama's middle child, a girl by the name of Tamaki..."

"Oh... crap," you sigh.

"Tamaki's a lovely girl, though!" Rui points out. "She's visited several times, and she's a real sweetheart. I think... despite it all, she could make Kosuke very happy."

"Now Rui, I know you don't believe that," you remark. "We both know that the only person who can make Kosuke happy is Rini Tozawa. This arranged marriage... Kosuke would never go for it."

"But do you think he has the energy to fight against it?" Saki asks as she steps out from behind the screen in a nice formal white shirt.

"Do I think he'll..." you begin with a scoffing tone, but then... hang on... now that you think about it... "Oh crap, he's not going to fight this, is he?"

You rush out of the laundry room and hurry to the dining room. As you swing the massive doors open, with Raiden and Saki following close behind, you find that Rini is already standing from her chair and yelling at Kosuke's parents.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?!"

"Rini?" the confused Mrs. Tatsumi mutters. "What's the matter? I thought you would be happy for your friend. He's getting married!"

"Married?" Rini snaps. "There's only one person he should be getting married to, and that's me! I'm his girlfriend, not this freakin' Tamaki chick!"

"You're his..." Mr. Tatsumi gasps. "Kosuke, since when?"

"Since last semester," Kosuke sighs. "That was the news I was planning to give you."

Mr. Tatsumi shakes his head solemnly. "Well... I can't say I'm not happy for you both... and Rini, you know how much we both love you... you're like a member of the family, but... this is important. It's important for both our family and theirs that Kosuke is wedded to Tamaki Koyama... I'm sorry Rini, but your relationship with our son has to end."

File: Rini24.png (491 KB, 640x800)

491 KB PNG

"No way!" Rini yells. "Kosuke, this is stupid!"

Kosuke remains seated, staring blankly. With a weary sigh, he speaks; "Yeah, it sucks."

"It sucks?" Rini asks, slamming her fist on the table. "It sucks?! That's all you have to say?! Aren't you listening to this?! They're trying to tear us apart!"

"Yeah, they are..." Kosuke shakes his head. Dammit Kosuke... doesn't he realise that he needs to get angrier than that? "Can't say I'm a fan, but what can I do? I guess I'll just have to marry this other girl, but still spend my nights with you, Rini."

"Oh, that would look great for our family's reputation," Mrs. Tatsumi rolls her eyes.

Rini stares at Kosuke angrily, bordering on tears. "Kosuke... come on. Aren't you going to... going to... dammit. Fine, I see how it is. I always knew you were lazy Kosuke. I always knew you didn't care about life, but... I always thought that when it came to fighting for what mattered most... that you'd rise up to the challenge and put your foot down. Guess I was wrong... I never thought I'd be wrong about you..."

Kosuke looks to Rini with a guilty look on his face. "Rini...?"

"This is it, Kosuke... we're through. Enjoy your forced marriage... I'm out of here."

Rini turns to leave, and as she does Kosuke rises to his feet. "Rini, you're not going anywhere."

Rini turns back in surprise as Kosuke slams his fist against the table, almost emulating his girlfriend. "Mom, dad, do you two have any idea how much I love Rini? You should, you only watched us spend every waking moment together from the moment we met! Why in the hell did you think I'd be okay with you pawning me off to some other family's kid when the only woman that matters to me is standing right by my side just like she always has? What made you think I'd be okay with this?"

The passion in his voice is one you've never heard from Kosuke before. "W-well..." his mother stammers, "We thought you would understand..."

"Understand what?" Kosuke asks. "That I would have no choice in the matter. That my life would be defined by what you deem is right for me, not by what I know in my heart is right for myself? I'm happy, mom. Happier than I've ever been... happier than anyone could be. I feel like the luckiest guy in the world, because I have the luxury of taking life the way I want it. I know you must be pretty pissed, but I'm not marrying that woman. You can't make me. I'm my own man, and I choose to be with Rini, until the end of my days."

>Quietly inform the others of the demon presence

As Kosuke passionately continues to argue with his parents, you make your way to the others seated at the table, you tap Akio on the shoulder and inform him of the demon presence discovered in the area.

"So... you haven't found anything other than a handful of ghouls?" Akio asks.

"Nope," you reply. "So we need to be on the lookout."

"I've got it," Akio nods. "Whenever the big one shows up, I'm gonna take a shot at it."

"The big one?"

"You know, like the guardian," Akio notes. "Yami seems to follow those Darkworld rules. He has that one powerful demon who's life is tied to the rift created within the area."

"Good point," You mutter. "I wonder why he would follow the rules of the Darkworld when he's technically operating outside of them..."

"Perhaps it's out of necessity?" Satomi asks. "After all, it's incredibly likely that whatever enchantment he uses to summon creatures, it must be tied to a singular one. The same method behind to guardians within regions of the Darkworld."

"So..." Hikaru concludes. "If we find any kind of demons in the area, it means that there's a stronger one nearby that's already been summoned. Either that, or Yami himself is present."

"Well, we didn't find a stronger demon anywhere near those ghouls," Saki remarks. "So maybe Yami actually is-"

Saki is unable to finish her sentence before the lights explode and the room finds itself in total blackout. You can sense the panic among your friends and classmates, and especially from Kosuke's parents.

"What the devil is going on?" Mr. Tatsumi exclaims.

File: Spoiler Image (362 KB, 850x601)

362 KB JPG

"The Devil. That's what's going on."

That familiar voice... Yami's voice... but it's so echoed. It gives you the impression that he's not here, and is only speaking through some sort of spell.

"Who said that?" Mr. Tatsumi asks.

"Oh, how rude of me not to introduce myself? I am the pale rider, the horseman of the apocalypse. I am Yami."

"Is this some sort of practical joke?"

"Not from your end, but I do find it very funny!" Yami remarks. "Now, are you ready to meet my greatest creation yet?"

In the darkness, you feel something swipe at you, some sort of vine by the feel of it. You move out of the way before whatever it was can grab you, but as the last turn on, you discover that you're one of the lucky few. Along the walls are several of your classmates, as well as the now unconscious parents of Kosuke, wrapped up in black thorny vines, rendered unable to move. From an immediate glance, you see that yourself, Raiden, Saki, Akio, Kosuke, Rini, Ken and Nanami managed to not be taken by surprise... the rest are trapped and unable to help.

"What the hell did this..." Rini mutters, as her eyes dart up to see the exact perpetrator. A flying demon with the figure of a human woman, adorned in the wings of a bat and a smug grin... a succubus.

"Like it?" Yami asks. "I was listening in on your personal affairs and felt it appropriate! Enjoy!"

And like that, he's gone again. Great. Now you've got another one of his abominations to kill.

You ready your firework gauntlet and fire directly in the succubus' face. The fireworks go off handily in the eyes of the demon, who lets out a rather feminine and strangely innocent scream of pain. You don't like the sound of it.

"Why..." the succubus cries in a distorted woman's voice. "Why do you do this to me?"

This thing was created by Yami, wasn't it? That guy's got a sick mind.

Raiden fires upon the succubus but the creature easily dodges his attacks, while Saki comes launching forward with her lance. She seems to push herself too much into it, as the Succubus flaps it's wing and moves to the side, as Saki comes crashing through the nearby dinner table upon her landing. Not the most graceful of attacks... seems Saki was a little too eager to get involved in the fight.

Akio and Rini however use this minor distraction to their advantage in their attacks, charging the succubus and attacking it with full force. Akio's spear slashes along the demon's body, while Rini punches the creature hard enough in the chest to send it flying back.

While the succubus is still recovering, Ken and Kosuke both to attack it's flank, Kosuke slashing it and Ken smashing it with his rod. As the Succubus flies back to avoid the beatdown, it is soon pierced by a pistol shot to the wing from Nanami's flintlock. Nanami smiles a grin of satisfaction, having never used the outdated pistol that you have no doubt has been bolstered by some kind of magic enhancement before.

The Succubus cries in pain. "I only try to help you... to love you... but you throw it back in my face!"

It begins to sob, a sob that soon turns into a strange song, one that you feel splitting your head apart. As you look around, you see that this song seems to be affecting the other men as well. You fear that if you don't focus, you could end up in pain and very disoriented.

Your head is splitting. That song... that song... it's not like the succubus you've heard of in stories. It's not seductive, it's not alluring... instead, it's pain. It's confusion... it's pathetic. And you feel it all within you. You begin to see things... visions of you betraying Saki, sharing beds with other women... thoughts of Chihiro, Rei, Nariko, everyone over and over again. And it's always accompanied by that face, the lonesome heartbroken face of Saki. The pain in her expression, the betrayal behind her worn-out eyes... all moments before ending her life. All the while, you feel your skull being pulled apart in one of the single most painful experiences of your life. You writhe around on the floor experiencing the haunting visions again and again, as you hear the faint sounds of the others yelling.

"Dammit, it's screwing with his head!" Akio cries out. "I'm not letting it do the same to me!"

"Ryoji, try to snap out of it!" Ken's voice yells. "It hurts, but you have to fight it!"

"It hurts..." Raiden mutters. "But we have to... press on..."

You hear the sound of collapsing, as Akio cries out. "Dammit, now Kosuke's down!"

"Kosuke!" Rini's concerned voice calls out. "Stop hurting him, you bitch!"

Saki nods at Akio and the two move to attack the succubus with the clear intention of drawing it's attention away from the others. Saki Akio reaches out with his spear and just about manages to get a slash along the creature's body. Saki in turn comes driving her lance into the chest of the succubus, managing to briefly pin it down, before it breaks free, struggling to recover from her mighty attack.

As it escapes, Raiden aims for the wings and fires, but the Succubus is still alert enough to move out of the way. "Yami..." the succubus cries under it's breath. "Please... let me help you..."

"What the hell is that thing talking about?!" Rini yells. "Whatever, time to shut it up!"

She pounces forward, driving her fist into the face of the demon, sending it crashing through the doors of the dining room and into the foyer. As this happens, you find yourself broken from the power of the succubus' song, and watch as Kosuke also rises to his feet.

Ken chases the succubus out into the foyer, where you can see that it's blackthorn vines are lining the walls of the entire mansion. Hanging above the door is an unconscious Rui, accompanied by several other maids and butlers under the Tatsumi's employ. Ken attacks the succubus from behind as it tries to recover, his rod hitting one of the demon's bat wings with such tremendous force that the bones within seem to shatter, clipping and grounding the creature. Nanami comes in next, firing a shot from her flintlock pistol into the knee-joint of the succubus for good measure.

"Why are you always so difficult..." the succubus cries. "You mean the world to me, I love you... but you need help..."

What is it talking about? Is this some... extension of Yami's demented psyche? Is this succubus a representation of someone he once knew, speaking with her words? The words are so kind, and yet they come from this sultry, devilish monster.

The succubus clasps it's hands together, as a ring of fire seems to form around it. It looks toward Nanami, and casts a fireball in her direction.

>Rolled 67

The Succubus charges up it's attack before launching the fireball in direction of the pirate. Nanami braces herself for the attack, hoping to be able to take the hit in stride. It's only moments before hitting that the Succubus smiles and flicks its wrist, causing the fireball to triple in size. Nanami's eyes widen in horror as she realises that there's no way she can avoid it on her own.

"Nanami!" Ken calls out, rushing to her side, grabbing her by the waist and leaping to safety as the fireball consumes the wall behind her.

The heat of the blast seems to have singed Nanami a little, but she's managed to walk out mostly unscathed. "Are you okay?" Ken asks, lying atop Nanami after tackling her to safety.

"I'm fine," Nanami replies, breathing heavily in exhaustion.

"G-good," Ken smiles, equally exhausted. "I was so worried I almost lost you..."

There's a brief silence between the two before Ken remembers where they are. "I, uhh... I was going to kiss you, but we're in the middle of a fight-"

"I understand," Nanami nods. "We can kiss later."

Nanami and Ken rise to their feet as the succubus continues to sob.

"Ryoji, are you okay?" Saki asks as she rushes to your side.

"Not exactly, Sak..." you mutter, clutching your head. "That thing showed me some horrible shit..."

"I'm noticing something about this supposed succubus," Saki remarks.

"And what's that?" you ask.

"Look at it, Ryoji..." she mutters. "It's not strong at all."

You shake your head. "My skull would tell you otherwise."

"No, it's powerful," Saki explains. "But it's so frail... so distraught. Yami created this thing, but something tells me he's not a perfect creator... whatever strange insecurities he's projecting with this creature is reflected in it's strength. It should only take one more assault to defeat the thing."

You nod in understanding. It's true, the succubus has been anything but the image you have of the creature that own it's name. It's been distraught, crying and afraid in its demeanour. This is an imperfect succubus, or perhaps it's simply Yami's idea of one. Whatever it is, it's time to put it out of its misery.

You give a knowing nod to Saki. "Finish this thing off."

Saki nods in return as she readies her lance, as the rest of the class ready their own weapons. What follows is an all-out barrage of attacks that tears the succubus apart. Saki drives her lance into the beast not once, but twice. Raiden fires wildly on the demon, every shot making its target, as Nanami does the same. Akio charges the Succubus and stabs at it with his spear, while Kosuke slices it up with his sword, Ken joining in to whack it hard in the face with his rod.

"Hey, bitch!" Rini yells out as she cracks her knuckles. "Time to meet your dirtbag maker!"

Rini launches forward with his fist clenched tight, connecting with the pathetic succubus with incredible force, the creature exploding into the black goo of the darkworld from the sheer power of it all.

"That's for hurting my Kosuke!" she screams, as the goo dissipates into the air. With it, the destruction caused throughout the mansion repairs itself, as if you were returning from an excursion to the Darkworld and re-entering the normal world.

Returning to the dining room, Kosuke is welcomed by his parents slowly and hesitantly picking themselves off the ground, having returned to consciousness. "Oh... what happened?" Mr. Tatsumi mutters.

"A power outage," you immediately lie. "The two of you fell back and knocked yourselves out in the panic, by the looks of it. We just got the lights back on, so we're confused too."

"I... see..." Mr. Tatsumi coughs. "Well, despite the unfortunate incident, don't think we've forgotten what we were talking about beforehand. Kosuke-"

"No."

Kosuke stands defiantly against his parents. "I'm not going to do what you tell me to do. You can cut me out of the family, cut the fortune from me, I don't care. I've never cared about money. I live for myself... and for Rini. You can't take this from me."

"I... I understand son," Mr. Tatsumi sighs. "You're such an usually relaxed boy. If you're willing to fight over this, it must mean more to you than I could possibly imagine."

"It does," Kosuke nods. "Sorry to let the family down, but I can't get married to that other girl."

"But... why?" his mother asks.

"Because," Kosuke explains, "In about five seconds I'm going to ask Rini to marry me."

"Yeah!" Rini yells pumping her fist, before her eyes widen. "Wait, what?!"

Kosuke smirks as he drops to one knee. "Rini Tozawa... ever since I was seven years old, you've been my everything. You've always been my best friend, my right hand... you were the first thing in the world that I felt ever truly mattered. And since I'm building this little streak of actually getting off my ass and doing something... I think it's about time I asked the question. Rini Tozawa... will you-"

"Yes."

"Wow... that was easy," Kosuke smirks.

"Well, what did you expect, dummy!" Rini chuckles. "Of course I'll marry you! You're my everything!"

Kosuke smiles warmly as he rises to his feet and the loverbirds tenderly embrace. "Sorry for not having a ring. I'll buy one-"

"-Whenever we damn well feel like it," Rini replies. "But when should we have the ceremony?"

Sora, usually a silent member of class, is the first to clear his throat. "I feel it appropriate to mention that I am qualified to officiate a wedding... I can wed the two of you right now, should you please?"

Rini and Kosuke stare at each-other and smile. A silent 'yes'.

"Now wait just a minute son," Kosuke's father mutters. "Aren't you worried you might be rushing into this?"

"Nah," Kosuke shrugs. "I've taken enough of life slowly... this is something I want right now."

Well, this was an unexpected though pleasant turn of events. Kosuke wanders to you and places a hand on your shoulder. "You want to be my best man, pal?"

You nod. "Of course."

Kosuke smiles. "Good... what do you think of this, by the way? You look surprised."

You can't help but chuckle. Everyone's surprised! How could they not be? Nobody would expected Kosuke to do something like this in the spur of the moment.

>I'm just wondering what took you so long.

Kosuke chuckles, before slowly pulling you in for a hug. "You're right. I mean, I recently turned seventeen, I'm practically a Christmas cake by now..." Kosuke pauses. "Thanks man... this all means a lot to me."

You return the hug with enthusiasm. "Nah, thank you pal. You and Rini were the first friends I had in that dump... and I'm so freakin' proud of you. Though, you better not have a kid by the time we graduate."

"Of course not," Kosuke smirks. "We can wait for a kid. If we don't, how can our children be best friends in the future?"

"Look at you two, getting all sappy!" Rini laughs, holding back tears of joy. "Oh crap! I just realised... hey, Sak?"

Saki pauses as she stares at Rini, still trying to take in the weight of what just happened. "Yeah, Rini?"

"Do you... I mean... Pirate-girl can do it too, but..." Rini stumbles over her words. "Do you want to be my... you know..."

Saki smiles. "It's okay, Rini. Of course I'll be your maid-of-honour."

"I wasn't going to say that!" Rini snaps at her.

"Then what were you trying to say?" Saki asks, a small victorious smile creeping on her face.

"... Fine. You got me," Rini sighs. "Be my maid-of-honour, Saki."

Saki smiles and nods. "Anything for you, Rini."

And so, against everything that you were expecting when you first set out on this trip, Kosuke and Rini stood out the front of the Tatsumi mansion, Kosuke in his finest suit, with Rini in a spare dress provided by Rui, apparently having belonged to the latter's mother.... and your two fellow delinquents got married. Accompanying you were Ken and Hiro as Kosuke's groomsmen, and joining Saki were Nanami and Rui as Rini's bridesmaids. Kosuke's parents hesitantly gave their blessing to the ceremony, and Sora declared the two to be bound in marriage. The bride was kissed, a party was had, people danced, and you and Saki feel asleep cuddling on the couch in Mr. Tatsumi's study in order to give the newlyweds some private time on their wedding night. All in all, it was one of the most pleasant nights of your life.

The next morning, and it's time for you all to set off. Having packed your belongings away, you all stepped out of the mansion, ready to move back to the academy.

"I can't believe you two are actually married!" Rui exclaims with excitement. "Oh, I was so glad I could be part of it!"

"We're gonna miss you," Kosuke smiles. "You should visit us when you can."

"Of course!" Rui gives a cheerful bow. "I've exchanged phone numbers with Rini, and I'll be sure to stay in contact. We'll work out a time for me to visit that works best for us all."

"Looking forward to it!" Rini smiles, giving Rui a light playful pat on the back. Rui smiles warmly as she waves her friends off. As Ken passes by, Rui's eyes light up as she quickly stops him.

"Umm... hey!" She smiles, as she lightly tugs at Ken's sleeve.

Ken turns around and raises an eyebrow. "Yeah, Rui?"

"Uhh... I know you're leaving now," Rui mumbles. "But... I just wanted you to know that I thought you were... kinda cute..."

"Oh," Ken replies with a nervous chuckle. "Well, I try!"

"Are you kidding me?!" Seishiro screams from a distance as he notices the beautiful maid paying attention to Ken.

"So, I was wondering..." Rui mutters. "I thought that maybe... you might want to... go on a date sometime?"

"Oh wow," Ken smiles. "That's really flattering..."

Ken' eyes drift over to the passing Nanami, and you notice a sudden light behind him. "But I'm afraid I have to turn you down. I... I have a girlfriend."

Rui nods and gives a respectful bow before returning inside with the rest of the staff, as Ken rushes to be by Nanami's side, taking her by the hand as he does.

"I heard that..." Nanami smiles.

"Yeah... and I meant it," Ken smiles back.

You watch Kosuke and Rini lead the back hand in hand, whispering and giggling with each-other as the walk along. You turn your head to Saki his is walking by your side, her hand in yours. You look back to the newlyweds and smile. You're in dark times... Yami is still on the loose, and continues to wreak havoc... and yet when you see those two walk in front, you're comforted in knowing that while times are dark... the future ahead is very bright indeed.

>Player Question
Kosuke and Rini have tied the knot! What's the future for these two?

>Bonus Player Question
Yami's a pretty messed up guy. What's your interpretation of his twisted creations?

>>754382
We must diplomance his creations since they're reflections of his personality, and help fix their problems, thus fixing parts of his personality. This will thus make Yami a more balanced individual with each part of his personality we fix. Hopefully, at least. We screwed over his maternal part and his lover part, but we can still make it work.

Remember, everyone, Yamato didn't have to die, if we could do things right. Yami doesn't either. Also chainsaw juggling guys are great, and someone I want on my team.

the first monster was his mother

The succubus was either a girlfriend or a friend whoa was a girl who didn't go out with him. He had mental issues and when she tried to help him he went batshit.

>Player Question
Actually I am not seeing that much of a change for them, except that Saki can't say anything about them being lewd because now they are not living in sin. But Rini pushes it everyday.

>Bonus Player Question
Mommy issues and a lover who seem to care for him but it ended up badly for her. The only one I can't figure is the first potpourri of people he created.

That's just silly Anon, we are totally blessed by the dice gods. Just this episode was a bit rough and they were busy paying attention to other places. Here, check out this nat 100 for chances of survival!

Thanks for running Booker.

Happy times only, if my roll up there turns out to be as good as it should be. Pretty neat to see Kosuke get off his butt for once.

>BPQ
I'll still stand by my theory that Rui will somehow be/already is a big bad. The succubus was probably some slut that liked him in the past or an old friend.

Nice 100 mate. Really proving me wrong.

Rolled 88 (1d100)
