Life Will Change Book 2

Chapter 6: An Offer You Can't Refuse

Begin!

~Normal POV

They still had plenty of time left in the day to begin their trek through the Jail for real. This visit was mainly for three reasons. To get an idea of the kind of security they were up against. (Which immediately proved to be quite a lot.) And to get a feel for the area. The Jail encompassed much of Shibuya, but the city layout was not exactly the same as in reality. And finally, it was Sophia's first heist! She had no trouble learning from her fellow thieves, and quickly grew accustomed to their group dynamics and teamwork. Only needing to ask the occasional question here and there.

However, running around the Jail and making good progress figuring out how it worked only ended with a literal roadblock. Alice was eventually made aware of their presence and promptly sealed off the entrance to her castle with an impenetrable metal wall. This left them no choice but to retreat and think of a strategy. Once they were back in reality, it was already evening. They were currently walking back to LeBlanc through the backstreets.

"Man, how are we gonna get past that wall? It sure ain't going anywhere..."

"A more pressing issue has arisen- I'm famished..."

"Seriously, dude... Actually, that was pretty exhausting work, I could eat too..." Ryuji said.

"It's probably better if we do then; no sense trying to strategize on an empty stomach," Haru said.

"Would you like me to find you a restaurant," Sophia asked.

"No need, Sophia! Our target's already been decided." Futaba said, gleefully. "Sojiro's curry or bust! I bet he'll hook all of you up, too!"

"Do you mean it?!" Yusuke asked.

Makoto sighed. "Go easy on Boss, he's treated us ple-"

Before she could finish, a loud man's voice shouted from nearby. "EHHH! I don't even care!"

"What the hell was that," Morgana asked.

They looked forward and saw a very drunk man in a suit staggering in their direction. He was being followed by a sober man who seemed to be trying to reign him in before he hurt himself.

"All those drunk bastards-" The drunk man slurred. "Making me look like crap!"

"It's ok, sir- eh, hey kids, get outta the way!" The sober man said.

Ryuji rolled his eyes. "It's just some plastered suit..." He didn't hold people who drink in any kind of high regard.

The drunk finally noticed their presence as they were blocking his path. "Huh? What are these little shits doing out...?" He tried to walk forward again and settled his gaze onto Ann. "Hey... You're a real looker! How's about you and I go back to my-"

"Back the hell off of my girlfriend," Akira said, glaring daggers at the man.

"Eh? Your girlfriend?" The man replied, confusedly.

"Please, don't work him up any worse than he is already," The sober man said.

"He's the one who started it, jackass..." Ryuji pointed out.

The drunk man only got more annoyed with them. "Aw, that's it! I'm gonna teach y'all some manners!"

"If you don't walk away right now-" Makoto said, clenching her fists in warning.

"Alright, break it up. That's enough." A new voice said.

They looked and saw a suited man approach them and step between the gang and the drunk man. Akira recognized him as the customer he saw in LeBlanc recently.
