P5 X NSP ; The Persona In Me

The SoulSaviours Are Back At It Again!

{Continuing from where the heck I left you all at}

"What are YOU doing here?!" Triana yelled, confused.

"I was gonna ask YOU that, too!" Cory yelled back, also confused. Bloom, Jerry and Mizu stared at them, rather shocked than confused. Triana then turns her head to look at the three then at Cory.

"...You're hanging out with some random people, aren't you?"

"..Ye- Wait, no! They're friends!"

"Uh-huh...and you're sure about that?"

"Yeah! Met them 2 weeks ago. They're great!" Triana was sceptical about Cory.

"If you are friends with them then...why is there a child here?" She asked.

"O-oh! Well, she's-."

"Cut it, Bloom. I'm older than you! In fact, by about 2 to 3 years!" Mizu said, not knowing that she's actually 120 years old considering that she's a Mizutsune. Bloom just slowly but surely turns his head towards Mizu, with the expression of 'Goodness gracious Mizu, what have you done?'. Mizu turns her head to look at Bloom before raising an eyebrow.

"What? I HAD to! You can't just keep on treating me like you're my niece I mean, we don't even look similar!" Mizu said, angy. Triana just stares in confusion.

"So, are you like, a loli or something?" Triana asked in her most monotone tone ever..not. Mizu shot a glare at her, even more angy.

"OKAY LISTEN HERE. JUST BECAUSE I LOOK LIKE I'M A CHILD DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN GO ASSUME THAT I AM A LOLI! I MEAN, WHY-." Mizu just keeps rambling on and on about why she isn't a loli or smth idk I'm just the writer here, not some sort of smart cookie. Bloom just stares in confusion when he notices Beowulf almost manifesting so, he just abruptly places his hand on her head with quite some force.

"Haha, sorry, she just thinks of that at times." Bloom said, nervously chuckling before looking at Mizu.

"Mizu, what were you thinking?!" Bloom asked in a hushed tone.

"Well, she thought I was a loli! I'm no loli, I'm a-."

"Who cares if you're a loli or not, those sorts of girls don't even exist in the first place!"  Bloom argued back in the hushed tone. Triana was confused even more as Bloom looks back at Triana, nervously chuckling.

"Anyways, back to Cory's question, why are you here? I mean, you are a sheriff after all so it doesn't make sense why you're working as an uh...food server?" Bloom said, slightly amused. Triana stares at Bloom before sighing, her eyes slightly narrowing.

"Ever since I have been promoted to the sheriff, I've been constantly been getting even more messages from my ex for some cash. I kept ignoring him, though. Last night, however, he broke in and....stole our life savings. My brother tried to stop him but...he got injured in the process and is staying in the hospital. So, I took up this job to earn some more cash so I can replace those savings and pay the medical bills." Triana said, spilling the beans. Jerry, Cory, Bloom and Mizu all had shocked looks on their faces. {The part where she said last night? She meant at 3 AM. I don't think I got some part of this.}

"Oh my god, Triana! You should've told me that annoying Harmzard is back at it again!" Cory yelled. Bloom looks at Cory, confused. Cory then looks at him with his singular eye before chuckling.

"Right! Don't think any of you know him. His actual name's Emiliano Fuertes and works at this shop called 'Fashion week'. However, I don't think he deserves to work there because HE'S A JERK AND ANNOYING!! I don't know why that store owner even brought him in any way!" Cory explained, his tone slightly shifting to an angry one.

"How'd he even manage to get the nickname 'Harmzard' anyways?" Jerry asked.

"That, my friend, is quite a long story. I'll say it in one word, blackmailing, loan sharking and serious injuries inflicted by Harmzard. He's on our watchlist."

"But...that's-."

"I said one word so it's one word!" Cory stated, which caused Triana to facepalm herself.

"Hmmm, I see...so Triana, this 'Harmzard' has caused quite an impact on your life...why is that he just began to disturb you even more?" Bloom asked, confused.

"Well, ever since I broke up with him for cheating on me, he's been spending the money he earns on gambling...even if he gains a fortune, he'll spend it on cigarettes and so many useless stuff. So, he turns to his ex, or me, for money. I didn't have a choice since he knows where I live...I knew ignoring him was a mistake." Triana said.

"Hey, Tri, don't beat yourself up for it! Besides, I- no, we can confront him if you want!" Cory said. Bloom turns his head towards Cory in surprise. Triana stares in surprise before sighing. 

"I simply can't. He'll-."

"THERE YOU ARE!!" A voice yelled, causing everyone's attention to look at who yelled. It was some sort of guy with green hair and very tanned skin. He angrily stormed up towards Triana, both of his green gloved hands clenched tightly until they were looking at each other face-to-face. Suddenly, his fists just, stop clenching and he chuckles.

"Sorry, I kinda wasted your money there...could I borrow some more?" He asked in a polite tone. His eyes seem kinda red, too red. Triana just narrows her eyes as any angry people would probably do.

"You say that with boldness yet you broke into me and MY BROTHER'S HOUSE, STOLE OUR LIFE SAVINGS AND INJURED HIM, CAUSING HIM TO BE IN THE HOSPITAL. AND SINCE I'M BROKE BECAUSE OF YOUR STUPID ACTION, I HAVE TO FIND A SIDE JOB AND GET ALL THAT MONEY BACK...DO YOU REALISE WHAT YOU DID WAS IRREVERSIBLE?!" She yelled at him. Suddenly, Harmzard's eye's widen in anger as his hand twitches uncontrollably.

"HOW DARE YOU?! IF I TELL YOU TO GIVE ME MONEY, YOU GIVE ME MONEY!!" He yelled as he raised his hand and slapped her so hard, which caused her to fall towards the table's edge. Instinctively, Bloom leapt forward and grabbed her by the back, preventing any injury.
