Change Society Persona 5 Story

Chapter Sixteen

6/13 Monday, After-School

Akira had plans to leave school and go straight home for studying until Ms.Kawakami stop him.

"Oh good, you haven't gone home yet. Niijima-san's looking for you. Could you head to the student council room right away? She says there's no report of a lost item, so she wants you to start filling out some paperwork."

Lost item? Paperwork? What does she mean?

"Where is the student council room?"

"The Student Council room is up on the third floor next to the library."

"Thank you. I will head over there now."

"Hey, Akira? What do you think that girl wants with you?"

"I don't know. Maybe about the time when Eli stood up for us. Remember? She took a photo of us when we were talking and it's possible she could have recorded our conversation."

"So what do you want to do? Go over there and get it over with?"

"I want to say just leave but who knows what she will try to pull if I do that. Especially with Eli injured and currently not in school at the moment, we're on our own right now."

"You're right. Well, whatever dirt she might have on us, let's take her down. She cannot know about us."

"Right. We can use Eli's help to get some dirt on Niijima-san. Just enough to scare her and get her off our backs."

"Okay. Let's finish this quick."

Akira made his way upstairs to the third floor and headed straight towards the student council room. Inside, Makoto was waiting for him.

"Ah, earlier than expected... Have a seat."

Akira did as told and open the bag a little more for Morgana to hear.

"I'll get straight to the point. Mr. Kamoshida and Madarame... Won't you tell me the truth behind the Phantom Thieves' incident?"

Akira gives her a glare and decided to stay silent.

"Can't answer that? Ah, of course. There's no way you would admit to such things. But, let me remind you. I was there that day when Sakamoto-kun decided to open his mouth about his frustration about what Akechi said according to the Phantom Thieves' actions to changing hearts."

"Looks like you did record our conversation that day. Seems like you don't have yourself a new phone to try and frame us as the Phantom Thieves."

"Thanks to your friend Univera-san. If it weren't for her, I would have played the recording I took of that conversation. She saved you that day, but not today."

"You think I need Eliza-san to save me whenever you come to threaten me? It is easy to point all your problems at me because of my criminal record."

"It may look that way, but I know you three are the Phantom Thieves along with Eliza and Kitagawa-kun."

"Even if you were right, you have no evidence to pinpoint it to our direction. You got nothing on us and you never will. But... Let's say you did have evidence on us, who would you tell? The principal? The police? Don't forget, Eliza-san is working for the police now and I doubt they would be so easy to move and suspect her. Maybe the principal will believe you but I won't let that happen."

Akira crossed his right leg to be on top of his left and he smirked at her. Makoto blinked and for a second, she saw a being behind him wearing a large top hat and it spread his wings, giving out an evil laugh and she was in shock for a moment.
