Persona 5 - The Jester's Point Of View

Scene 94

When it had hit their ears that a calling card had gotten reported all of a sudden they couldn't sit still. They had to get out of the building as soon as possible... Honestly, they did just that. The thieves had wasted no time, had they? They wanted to get this over as quickly as possible. The information spread like wildfire and Okumura had reported the calling card to the authorities pretty much right away, having not even hesitated for a second. They had even taken a glimpse at it, having read what is said...

' Sir Kunikazu Okumura, the great profiteering sinner of greed.

Your success and global fame exists due to the tyranny you rain over your employees. Thus, we have decided to make you confess all your crimes with your own mouth.

From

The Phantom Thieves '

While everyone around seemed to have been a little clueless on how to act they knew what they had to do. So they had quickly excused themself when they had to explain themself. The one who had been in their tracks was Officer Sato who had eyed them with a little stern gaze. "Where do you think you're going?" He had asked, having them almost flinch. Yet there was no time for that. They had to hurry out somehow. So they had come up with a quick lie.

"Ah... My mother has requested my help with something. She said that it was urgent and she has no one else to rely on. So please, let me through! I will make up the hours another day, I promise!"

He had stared at them, wondering if the excuse didn't fly. It only made them stare at him as intensely as they could have managed at that point... Only for him to sigh in defeat and step aside. "Alright, fine. If it's that urgent. Don't keep your Ma waiting."

"Thank you! I'll owe you one Officer!" They exclaimed before running out of the building, though feeling a gaze right on them. Yet they couldn't bother with that.

Arriving at the headquarters took a moment, given that the way wasn't short. Minutes too long for their taste. Yet they couldn't help it. As soon as they had arrived however they didn't even hesitate. They typed in the search and got sucked into the Metaverse... Only to be greeted at the entrance by Ole and Pipistrello out of their phone.

"Took you a bit." Ole 'greeted' them, arms crossed in front of his chest.

"Haha, cut them some slack Gramps. They've arrived and that's what matters." It brought up, all chipper however. "Besides, look forward to the show instead~"

"A... Am I on time?" They asked, trying to catch their breath yet knowing that they might have to hurry in a moment.

"Yes yes, the fight has just begun. We'll be there before you know it~"

Well, so had been the claim.The plan was easy, go through the route as quickly as possible yet it had been a bit of a hassle. After all, it seemed that the security had surely gotten up to over a thousand if not more. It was... Something, to say the least. But then again, it was not a surprise, if having announced that one would get their 'heart stolen' then this was probably the least surprising thing out there. So it was just one tireless battle after the other... Well, almost. It was Ole who had done the heavy lifting here, tearing the robots into pieces with kicks and throws while keeping them behind. They had offered their help yet he refused in this instant. 'As if bullets are going to work here' he would scoff and... Well, he may have been right. So he kept on fending them off while they ran close behind. Have the cat take charge in this instance. It was the quicker solution anyways and honestly... They were too busy running. Due to the sudden adrenaline rush they may not have noticed how their legs were at the brink of breaking afterwards yet that was something their future self had to deal with, didn't it?
