Byakuya: C'mon, if I really was itching for a fight, we would be fighting by now. I hate to admit it, but this world is more dangerous than the world I was in, so I might have to cooperate... For now. So, am I being a young gent or not?

"Considering that you tried to kill them earlier, we'll probably not accept you. Unless you redeem yourself by risking your life to save them from a life-threatening situation, we might consider letting you in."

Kirimuri cracks his knuckles loudly, signalling Byakuya to back off.

"..."

"Nice to meet you, Anna..."

Kirimuri looks at Anna for a short while.

"I'm just guessing, but did you arrive in an abandoned church by chance?"

"...Let's change the subject here and let the little ki... the guy enjoy his moment. Isn't it getting a bit chilly here? Brr... Is smoldering allowed inside?"

"Husband? HUSBAND?"

*sob* "This is so touching that even an uncultured guy like me have to shed a tear... Kirimuri coolly withdraws."

Kirimuri goes into the bank after being pulled by 5T.

"Whoops, excuse my rudeness and lack of thoroughness. I only wanted to confirm that you're not from the Hangout. I just got one nice back massage earlier from one of the android maids."

"Well, I go with the pseudonym Kirimuri. Early 20's. Can speak 3 different languages, potentially 4. Call me Kirimuri, Kiri, perverted-bloke-from-the-far-east or whatever. I don't give two damns or a fuck. Anyways, nice to meet you."

Kirimuri sees 5T outside with Agni and Rokurou. He decides to accompany them.

"Greetings, my android fellow. I take it that you investigate and fight instead of massage?"

"I'll come with you guys then. It's not like I have anything else to do..."

"I probably still have a lot of silver coins left..."

Kirimuri checks his bag and pulls out a fairly large pouch of coins. He takes out 20 silver coins and hands it to Rokurou.

"I reckon 20 of these coins will give you 50 Pompadillions. 40 for the registration fee plus a month of membership, and 10 for... I don't know, a nice bowl of noodle or something. You can pay me back later..."

"...Well, if you don't suddenly get accidentally killed or something."

"Aw, I only wanted to sound cool for once..."

"Well, it was indeed a close match. She almost skewered me multiple times with her waves of knives, while I tried to explode her multiple times and collapse a whole building on her."

Agni Artwaltz and Rokurou Rangetsu

 

BGM: Beneath the Mask (Persona 5)

 

Agni: It's best if we don't even think about going back. We got no choice other than waiting.

Rokurou: Well, that's that, I suppose. Are there any good drinks here?

Agni: Oh yeah, i just remembered that you're a drinking person. You don't have a member pass, so I suppose you can't have them.

Rokurou: What? Lame...

Agni: I think this is how it works around here... we'll need to wait for Mr. Flare's return so we can try and ask him for a free membership in your case too. But considering how business works nowadays, we already have the "no" guaranteed.

 

Agni sat on the couch. He had to admit he was a little tired. He scratched his head, showing he was worried about the others. However, he moved on to another topic.

 

Agni: Anyway, I'm curious about what you've been doing all this time, Kirimuri. Did you manage to find something else of interest or were you cruising around?

"I went to this abandoned church to check things out because something seemed unusual, then I met this possessed nun who tried to kill me under the name of her magical sky wizard. Then I subdued her and asked Hinamori to banish the evil spirit."

"On my way home, Melina challenged me for a battle at the Hangout after grazing my face multiple times with her knives because she couldn't control her emotions..."

"...Then I destroyed her."

Agni Artwaltz and Rokurou Rangetsu

 

Agni: I got separated from them. I tried to act as a decoy so they could escape...

 

Rokurou: And he ended up being caught and taken to me. I defected and took him back here. We didn't saw anyone else though...

 

Agni: The slums aren't just a separated place anymore. It's a warzone. The people are under influence of the martial law and are no longer able to move freely as they could before. There are guards lying everywhere we go and we're always under watch, without ways of escaping.

 

Rokurou: Not to mention how warped the ones leading this mess are. I respect strength, but the way they're using it...

 

Agni: We need to wait on their return before we can start discussing the ideas. Returning there isn't a good idea.

"I see. Well, if we needed to go back to the slums, we can use the sewers to avoid being seen. Except that it's pretty dark and it smells bad though. I reckon the owner of this place went there to check things out."

"Nice to meet you, I guess."

"People tell me that all the time. I just like to wear much clothing outside. Anyways, where is everybody? I thought they went to the slums with you."

"Oh Melina... Don't call everything bad just because a minority of them are mentally challenged."

"Anyways Agni, who's this shady looking dude over here?"

"What the hell is happening here..."

Kirimuri appears and finds Agni and Melina arguing after getting a back massage in the relaxation lounge.

"I thought we already got over this. Can both of you just stop?"

22 minutes ago, Darkflare said:

"Please refrain from making too much noise. This area is for meditation as well."

"My mistake..."

Just now, Darkflare said:

"There is such a thing as being overprepared."

 

The mecha maid proceeded to begin the massage session.

"Ohhhh.... Ouch... Ay.... Ow..."

"...Ooohh...Nice..."

4 minutes ago, Darkflare said:

"Understood. Please lie down and relax. I must warn that there may be some discomfort during the process."

 

"I also advise that you consider packing lighter. Your body clearly cannot withstand so much weight at once."

"I know... I have this bad habit of bringing almost everything..."

Kirimuri approaches the bed and lies down in a prone position. He pulls out his MP3 and listens to music.

Once the two arrived in the room, the mecha maid turned toward Kirimuri

"Is there a particular method you wanted?"

"Not really. But recently I've been getting recurrent pain in the lower-left part of my back... Sometimes my shoulders hurt too due to the fact that I have to constantly wear a heavy backpack. It would be nice if you could concentrate on these parts."

13 minutes ago, Darkflare said:

"I suppose I did mention it. Very well..."

 

"Please follow me."

 

The mecha maid would then proceed to lead Kirimuri to a room.

"Sure..."

1 hour ago, Darkflare said:

"The slums.... So Flare-sama must have known something about that broadcast earlier to have headed over there."

 

"I'm certain he'll be fine. He should contact if he experiences any trouble. Now then, I believe you've come here for your massage?"

"Precisely."

10 minutes ago, Darkflare said:

The clerk takes it and begins to verify it before giving it back.

 

Male clerk: "Everything checks out. Please wait a moment."

 

Not soon after a Mech Hisui enters the lounge.

 

"So my assumption was correct that I indeed saw you earlier. I do believe I have mentioned something about a massage back in the forest."

 

"By the way...."

 

"Did Flare-sama come back with you? I haven't seen him recently."

"Flare? The last time I saw him, he was at an abandoned church. I think he left to the slums afterwards with a spirit whisperer."

Just now, Darkflare said:

Male clerk: A massage? Yes, we'll see if we have space available. I will need your pass."

Kirimuri hands over his pass.

16 minutes ago, Darkflare said:

"A back massage? You should be able to ask for one in the relaxation lounge on the top floor."

"Thanks."

Kirimuri goes to the top floor and enters the relaxation lounge.

"Excuse me... Is this where I can get a back massage?"

@Darkflare

Kirimuri leaves the arena and asks another Mech-Hisui.

"Excuse me... Where can I get a back massage?"
