Phantom Thieves Side Stories

A Gold Bar

Another P5 Strikers scene. Because why the hell not?

Enjoy!

Since the Phantom Thieves have reunited and hearing of the rise of other worlds known as Jails, the businesses in Shibuya and Yongenjaya have been closing. Takemi's clinic has been closed due to Takemi attending a medical conference and won't be back for the whole summer. Iwai's airsoft shop is temporarily closed for an unknown amount of time. And there's no way that the group is going there without any sort of protection.

Ryuji: The airsoft shop's closed. Takemi Clinic's shut down for summer vacation. Where are we gonna get our weapons and medicine now? Talk about shitty timing.

Makoto: This is not good. We can't just return to the Metaverse defenseless.

Akito: All I have is my service weapon that I can use. Ammo is scarce. I'll have to contact a source to see if I can get weapons from the police arsenal.

Futaba: I guess we gotta find some other stores.

Kagura: Pharmacies and convenience stores do have the medicines sometimes. They'll have to ask for parental permission. Which damn blows!

Haru: That seems like it'll take quite some time.

They hear Ren's phone go off.

Sophie: What's up? Have a problem? Perhaps I can help. If you would like, I'm happy to lend a hand.

Futaba: Oh! Yeah, check this out, Sophia.

Haru: We need supplies to take with us into the Jail. Aki-chan is going to help us with weapons so we got it narrowed it down.

Yusuke: Unfortunately, our usual suppliers are closed. This will assuredly impact our successes in the Metaverse.

Makoto: Do you know if there are any suitable stores nearby?

Sophie: Why not just order supplies online?

Kagura: You mean like Amazon?

Futaba: Amazon is okay. But the delay between ordering and actually getting the stuff is way too long.

Makoto: Also, we were able to get much more effective medicines from our clinic than we could find online.

Akito: Just make sure it's ok for us to use. I don't want PCS (possession of a controlled substance) in any of your guys' records.

Kagura: Stop exaggerating, Akito.

Sophie: No prob. The Net has it all.

Akito: Exactly what I said during the Madarame incident.

Sophie: Ryuji, is there something you want?

Ryuji: Huh? What do I want?

Sophie: Right. Request anything you want.

Ryuji: Okay. A gold bar.

Ann: Really?

Futaba: Don't be ridiculous!

Kagura: What good would a gold bar do?

Ryuji: Aw cmon. It was just a joke! Nothing else popped in my head when she asked, so..

Sophie: Okay, I've got it. Please wait.

Ryuji: Hmm. Got what?

The door downstairs open up revealing a delivery man.

Deliveryman: Helloo, expedited delivery!

Ann: Wha—! Did you really order a gold bar!?

Akito: DHL really is boosting their delivery sales.
