The path to the truth: Male Reader X Naoto

Payback time

07/23

After 3 days of exams, it was finally over.

"It's all over! *yawn* I'm so sleepy." Yosuke said.

"Yuuuck, don't yawn in my face like that! Hey, for the third question on that English Test, which phrase did you choose?" Chie asked.

"Um, I went with "used to"." Yukiko said.

"Ugggh, wrong again." Chie said.

"So much for Chie going abroad. Heck, why leave Inaba? You have so much right here!" Yosuke said.

"Oooh, you're so annoying!" Chie said.

At this point Rise and Kanji had entered the classroom.

"Yo." Kanji said, sounding defeated.

"No more encores. I mean, hi everyone." Rise said.

"Whoa, more losers?" Yosuke asked.

"What do I need to know English for!? I can always ask for a translator! How did you do, Senpai?" Rise asked.

"I didn't get a single one." Yu said.

"Personally my pen was on fire." I said.

"Yeah but that's only cause Dojima wouldn't  give you back your scooter unless you passed with good grades." Cal said.

"Still mad at you." I said.

Rise ignored what Cal and I said.

"Don't worry Senpai!" Rise said.

"Enough about the exams already. What's going on with the murder case?" Kanji asked.

"Hm, why don't we go to our special headquarters? We haven't been there in a while." Yosuke said.

Yosuke and the others went to the food court.

"We'll catch up in a bit." I said.

Cal and I went to the roof to talk.

"So, you're not gonna throw me off this are you?" He asked.

"No, I've decided another form of payback. You'll find out what it is when the time is right. Anyways, I need your help going through something." I said.

"What's that- oh dear god." Cal said as I pulled out two massive binders from my backpack.

"One binder contains a list of things that we have in our dimension that this place doesn't, and we can use to get rich off of, the other contains a list of things this place has that ours doesn't that'll become our "To Do List" for this summer." I said.

"That's, actually a pretty good idea. Maybe I'll see if Yuki-"

"Oh no I am NOT being the third wheel AGAIN. You do that on your own time." I said.

"Fine. Let's take this with to Junes so I can hear whatever the heck they're talking about in regards to the case." Cal said.

At the Junes Food Court.

I was going through the Binder of stuff from our world while Cal was listening in on the others.

"I'm kinda bummed." Chie said. "Not just because exams are over, but the whole thing with the police finding a suspect. I mean we believed that only we could solve this case, and now..."

"Well we still don't know yet, they haven't made an arrest." Yosuke said.

"So, we gotta sit on our thumbs." Kanji said.

Adachi was walking by.

"For crying out loud, it's nice to have a suspect, but where the hell is he? We're at the end of our rope here. Y-You guys! D-Did you hear what I just said? Ah! Ahahaha, this case is as good as solved! Don't worry kids, it's only a matter of time before we bring in the suspect. I mean, the guy's kidnapping people at random and slaughtering them! We won't rest until we bring him to Justice! I-I gotta get going!" Adachi said before walking off.
