Spectra (Ryuji x OC)

20 • Ginza Sushi Bar

7/23 Evening

Makoto - I wonder if that Medjed business was just a prank. Now that I think about it calmly, it's strange that they haven't actually done anything yet. If their goal is to target the Phantom Thieves, they should want to be acting now, given our fame.

Ann - Huh, when you put it that way, it kinda makes me wonder too. Especially after they taunted us theatrically like that.

Yusuke - Yes. However, it would be best for us to come up with a countermeasure regardless. For now though, we should cautiously enjoy the sushi. That is all we can do.

Sushi?

Ryuji - You were busy earlier when we met up but we're all going out for sushi with the money we got from selling Kaneshiro's Treasure! And Alibaba isn't making us steal Futaba Sakura's heart anymore!

Why would someone simply revoke their demand like that?

Akira - We're not sure. Something's not right.

Ryuji - I was thinking that too! I can't really put it into words though.

Makoto - Hm, Yusuke is right. I'm sorry for bringing this up. On the day before our celebration party too...

Ann - Cheer up, Makoto! We'll be eating sushi like kings tomorrow!

Yusuke - I hope one person in particular is on their best behaviour. I'll refrain from saying who though.

Ryuji - ...You better not be talking about me!

7/24 Daytime

Our sushi looked delicious as we each had a selection placed in front of us.

"Man, the flounder is outta this world! That texture..." Ryuji drifts off.

"I-I don't see any prices listed here," Yusuke says.

"It's called market price. Don't worry about it, we got the cash!"

"Hey, is the fatty tuna ready yet?" Morgana asks from Akira's bag.

"Hold your horses. And don't talk!"

"By the way, Akira... is Boss really the kind of person who would abuse someone?" Makoto asks.

"That again?"

"I can't get it off my mind. Especially if it means he could be taken to court... what kind of person is he? Do you truly believe he'd do such a thing?"

"He is pretty strict," Akira responds.

"Oh, because of your record"

"If it's really true about the abuse, he'd be a no good jerk pretendin' to be a guardian," Ryuji says.

"Maybe the chief is the one who needs a change of heart," Morgana suggests.

"Hold on a sec! About that. I actually got curious after our conversation and checked his name in the Nav," Ann says.

"Sounds to me like there wasn't a hit," Makoto says.
