(A/N: Okie dokie, here we guys go with the grand finale of Kaneshiro's Arc! It's been such an amazing journey, but it's time to close the pages of this arc to flip the pages of a new one. But of course, as the dedicated author I am, I won't let this arc end without an epic battle, better than the anime itself! So, without any further ado, BUCKLE THE FUCK UP!!! 'CUZ HERE WE GO!!!)

------The Next Day After School: Shibuya's Passageway------

With the infiltration route to the Treasure finally secured, all that was left was to leave the calling card for Kaneshiro to see, but the real question was... how? The thieves couldn't just barge into his hideout and shove the card into his face, could they? First, their identities would be exposed to him, and secondly, he'd simply murder them without breaking a sweat. With those risks in mind, what would the best strategy be where it would be guaranteed for him to see it with the least amount of losses? The group gathered at their hideout after school to discuss that one particular point, but only to be met with confused and lost eyes, seemingly none of them having the slightest clue on how to carry that out... and that proved itself to be quite challenging. Each one of the high schoolers eyed the other with a gaze filled with confusion and uncertainty, none was able to fathom the slightest image of the game plan. It wasn't easy to form a complete and flawless operation, it never was. While it was normal for Ryuji and Ann to not be able to contribute much in the discussions, it was quite a shock to see the sharper members such as Morgana, Yusuke, Ren, and Emiko in a similar state to the two blondies. Perhaps it was the sudden and rushed text of Ren that afternoon to begin the mission that none had the time to come up with ideas. Yet, that was the current situation--all the Phantom Thieves had absolutely no idea how to start.

Well, all but a pair of red eyes that were far from indecision.

"Now the question is, how do we deliver the calling card to him...?" Yusuke wondered.

"Yeah, we don't know where he lives..." Ann looked down.

"Hm? Why not use the same method as before?" Makoto suddenly suggested.

".........?" Everyone perked their heads up.

"It sounds like Makoto has an idea in mind..." Ren thought.

------Evening: Café Leblanc's Attic------

Ren couldn't deny the curiosity that was swirling inside of his mind about the method of spreading the calling card. Sure Makoto had an ace up her sleeve, but she never said a word to anyone about her trump card. The leader knew that the girl's intelligence was remarkable and he trusted her judgment and decision-making blindly, yet he wished she could share the details of her idea. That was a mystery he wished to uncover, but he also knew that he would see with his eyes what she meant the following day, and hopefully, it would work out in their favor. The mystery and secrecy of the whole situation were exhilarating and made Ren look forward to what was awaiting. He didn't have any shadow of a doubt that Makoto must have thought of something, well... grand and fitting for the Phantom Thieves' name and the public's constant anticipation for their next move. The excitement was on a whole different level as it skyrocketed, Yet, the vibrating sound of his phone caused Ren to shift his position on his bed to sit down and look through his IM log chat.
