[Discontinued] Second Fool (Persona 5 Harem)

13: Another Year Later

The bells tolled, and pink petals fell from the sky. It was a bright day, and it shined through the stained windows lightly, giving the air a soft atmosphere. The piano played a melody, accompanied with a violin.

Keiji sat down on one of the wooden seats, Futaba sitting next to him. It's been a year since his fight with Akechi, and two years since the Yoru incident. He was now fifteen, and Futaba was fourteen.

The chatter died down, and everyone sat in their seats silently. It wasn't long until a woman was led down the path in the center. She wore an elegant white dress, with a veil over her head.

She walked to the front, where two people stood. One was a priest behind a stand, holding a book, while the other was a familiar man wearing a suit.

Sojiro nervously shifted as the woman in the white dress came closer. Taking a deep breath, he prepared himself. She finally arrived, standing across from him. Sojiro reached over, before flipping the veil, revealing Wakaba.

The wedding ceremony had begun.

. . .

Keiji smiled as he drank the fruit punch. Sojiro was now officially Futaba's dad. He was in the original Persona 5 story as well, but for different reasons.

Keiji was glad he saved Wakaba. And he would do it again. That's why he was a fool.

It wasn't long after fighting Akechi that Wakaba and Sojiro had started dating. Wakaba no longer had the chains of death weighing her down, and was able to freely confess.

Then, Wakaba's research was stolen. Unknown people broke in, took it, and broke out. It was a sad day. But Keiji knew the other choice, and was glad it had turned out that way.

Wakaba continued her job, but not with as much vigor as before. After all, all her work was stolen. They told him that after they got married, Wakaba was going to quit to become a housewife while Sojiro worked Cage Leblanc.

Keiji smiled. They've gotten their happy ending. They shouldn't be involved with the Metaverse anymore now, keeping them safe.

"You know, I want to thank you." Said a voice to his left. Turning his head, it revealed the bride herself, standing next to him.

"You thank me a lot. Is it alright for you to be over here?" Asked Keiji.

"It's fine. And yes, I do end up thanking you a lot. That's because you've done so much for us." Stated Wakaba.

"What do you mean? I don't remember doing that much." Lied Keiji. Most of what he did was in the Metaverse, so she shouldn't know about it.

"You're talking to the former lead researcher on Cognitive Psience, you know." Retorted Wakaba.

"...You know?" He asked.

"I do. You were the only one who knew of our situation otherwise than Futaba or Sojiro, and it couldn't have been them. I know what you did, but now how you did it." Explained Wakaba.

"So, thank you." She said once more.

Keiji just smiled this time. "You're welcome."

Mind Confidant: Level Seven

. . .

As the wedding went on, Keiji walked around and talked to people, engaging in conversations as he celebrated their marriage. After a while, the groom himself approached him.

"Well, if it isn't my least favorite customer." Joked Sojiro, approaching Keiji.

"You know you love me." Keiji joked back.
