SMG4: The Royal

Chapter 35: A Simple Request

(Yo, New chapter! Chill_be_good your character is now in! By the way, details for Lemonade500 character, Joku, his Phantom Thief attire is similar to Speed of Sound Sonic. Enjoy!)

Once the news had come out that Kaneshiro had confessed his crimes and released the debt he had on a lot of people, especially SMG3 and his gang. Joku was rewarded with a little date with Belle the past weekend, and they hit it off pretty well.

But what Kaneshiro had said to you, it was still on your mind. No matter how badly you wanted to deny it, Kaneshiro was right. You had used Joku, Belle and Tari. There was no beating around the bush, if they hadn't awakened to their Personas, they would have been killed.

You had went to see Maruki to talk about it, without mentioning the whole Phantom Theif side of course. But more or less the guilt of putting someone in danger. After the talk and helping Maruki with more of his research, you moved outside onto the balcony and stared out to the grassy hills that separated the castle from the city.

Suddenly, you feel a pair of arms wrap around you from behind.

Meggy: What are you doing out here all by yourself?

Y/n: Just... thinking about some things.

You turn around and see the concerned look she has. She's had that look for a few days now, considering that you had been distant from everyone.

Meggy: Have you talked to Maruki?

You nod. She leaned in and softly placed her lips on yours. It doesn't take long for you to melt into the kiss as you hold her close. She pulls away for a moment.

Meggy: Does that help take your mind off it?

Y/n: A little bit, yeah.

Before you could pull her in for another kiss, you hear someone clear their throat.

Luigi: Yo.

Luigi stood their, resting his back against the door frame.

Y/n: Hey man. What's up?

Luigi: Nothing much, just another request. Here, I'll send it to you.

After a moment, you receive the message and open it, reading it aloud.

Y/n: Phantom Thieves, I have a special request for you. However, I will not speak of it over the Phan-Site. Instead, I would like to speak to the leader themselves. Trust me when I say that this is a request that you should accept.

There was also a place and time to meet up at tomorrow.

Meggy: What do you suppose that means?

Y/n: I have no clue.

Meggy: Well, better not take any chances, right? Thanks Luigi.

Luigi: Yep. I'll see the two of you later.

When Luigi leaves your field of view is when Meggy finally says something.

Meggy: Don't you think he's changed. Like, a lot?

Y/n: Now that you mention it, yeah he has. I'll talk to him later about it.

Meggy: Alright. Well, if you're going to go to that meeting, then you should head to bed. It it pretty late.

Y/n: Yeah. I'm just worried by what this means by it is a request I should accept.

Meggy takes your hand and leads you back to your room. Once you were there, the two of you get into bed as you hold each other close, drifting off to sleep.
