Hello everyone!
How are you?
I hope you guys fine, while I'm having a little health problem here...
Scratch that...
I actually have been really sick this week, not that I complain thought.
For some reason, I'm getting used to it.
Put that depressing matter aside,
To TsukiNoMe: Hello to you too! Glad that there's fellow countrymen reading this fic :D
To Rosalinda Lancaster Leonhart: I'll admit that I'm a Kamen Rider fans. Especially Decade, 000 and Wizard. That's why I making Souji to steal- err, I mean borrowing Kamen Rider Decade's famous quote 'Just a passing through Kamen Rider.' Because I coincidentally write it after rewatching few episode of Kamen Rider Decade, which I find it an amusing or, I can said it 'cool' answer for Souji to Shinjiro XD
Now, Let's Count up your Sins- Wait! I mean back to the story!
*sigh* what's with me and Kamen Rider Double's Quote just now...?
Anyway, please continue reading :D
Chapter 8: The Priestess Shadow
(Dark Hour – Dormitory's Command Room)
Mitsuru sighed while she working at the support terminal by herself.
"You're still at it?"
Mitsuru looked toward the door, which have been opened by none other than Akihiko, as he himself walked toward her and sit on the nearest chair.
"Yeah..." Mitsuru answered him, "You never know when the enemy might appear."
"But, I thought you couldn't scan outside of Tartarus?" The gray haired teen ask her.
"To be honest, I lack the power..." Mitsuru's shoulders dropped down while answering Akihiko's question, "Maybe this is the best Penthesilea can do in terms of data gathering." she then recovered quickly, "Although, the power of Persona seems to be much broader than I thought. We've even got two persons who can switch Personas in the middle of battle, not forgetting that we also have someone who used to be a leader of a group persona users beside us, and he also capable summoning his persona without an Evoker."
Akihiko just shrug, "I have to admit, I was surprised too. But, after hearing Souji's stories about Persona and Shadows, I bet anything could surprise me anymore. Even with the Reaper lurking around inside of Tartarus." Akihiko looked at her, "In the end, it's up to them whether or not they can reach their full potential."
Mitsuru just nodding at him, when suddenly the device that she has been working on, suddenly let out static sound that gained her and Akihiko's attention.
"Huh... ?" Mtsuru looked at the support terminal then let out a gasp, "It's a Shadows!"
"What!?" Akihiko looked shocked, beside him said that nothing could surprised him anymore, "You actually found one!?"
"Wait, something's not right." Said Mitsuru while frowning, "The reading is to big. We've never encountered anything like-"
"You mean, it's one of those!?" Akihiko cut in, "Like the one who attacked the dorm one month ago!?"
"...It must be." Answered Mitsuru.
"Well then, this is gonna be fun. We should wake up the others."
"...Indeed." said Mitsuru as she proceeded to press the alarms button.
(Souji's Room)
It was the day that the mysterious boy had warned Souji and the Arisato twins. The full moon. Souji decided to keep his mouth shut, since no-one else except maybe Minato and Hamuko, seemed to know. If the boy was right, then they will find out soon enough anyway.
As long as it wasn't as strong as the Reaper, they were ready, 'Hopefully.' He added inside of his mind.
Souji didn't bother going to bed that night. he spent a few hours in his room doing stretches and getting prepared. he was actually meditating, meditating for crying out loud when the alarm rang. Souji burst out of the door, fully dressed and saw Junpei bolt out of his room in pyjamas. He reached the stairs before Souji did. Souji couldn't help it, Junpei looks so… weird without his hat.
Before Souji could run to the stairs, the door beside his room opened, and Minato came out, also fully dressed, he looked at Souji, "Judging from how prepared you are, thats mean you also told by that mysterious boy, Souji-kun? About the ordeal?"
Souji nodded, "Yes, I believe that you and Hamuko-san have been told the same thing about tonight."
"Yeah, but when I asked about that to Hamuko, for some unknown reason, she seems angry and muttered 'that perverted ghost' and 'I can't get married'. I don't know why she said that thought..." Minato said while they walk toward the stairs, "For now, lets just focus on with the ordeal tonight."
"Right."
With that, the two of them rushed toward the command room.
(Dark Hour – Command Room)
When both of them got there, Yukari was already there in her pyjamas. She looked surprisingly good for someone who's just woken up and sprinted up the stairs, surprisingly, Hamuko also in there, looked fully prepared. Its seem she took the mysterious boy warning seriously, and Junpei had just rushed in.
"Where is it!?" Junpei asked. "I'll rip it a new one!"
Mitsuru seemed surprised that Souji, Minato and Hamuko was actually already geared up for battle, but ignored it. "We've detected a shadow outside of Tartarus. We don't know for sure, but we think it's another big one." Minato, Souji and Hamuko glance at each other, the mysterious boy was right. "We have to defeat any of them we find, as quickly as possible. Most people don't know the Dark Hour exists. But, if half the city is destroyed, there will be panic. That must be avoided at all cost"
Junpei laughed darkly. "So in other words, we need to kick some ass, right? Well count me in!"
Yukari sighed, Akihiko stepped forward. "I'm going too."
Mitsuru was mortified "You're not going anywhere in that condition. You wait here for the Chairman."
"Wha-!?" Akihiko looked shocked; as if he wasn't expecting this "I'm going!"
"She's right Akihiko Senpai," Junpei pointed out, "You're still recovering from the last fight."
Akihiko growled, but Mitsuru continued. "In your current state, you'd be more of a hindrance than a help. Have faith in them Akihiko," She looked at them, "They're ready."
"Tch…" Akihiko sat down at the chair. "Fine…"
"You'll get your chance," Mitsuru told him, "But for now-"
"Wait for the chairman," Akihiko moaned, "I got it."
Junpei slapped his chest with pride. "Relax, I got it covered."
Akihiko looked up from the console, comparing us. "Guess I've got no choice then… Minato is in charge."
Junpei groaned. "Him again..?"
Mitsuru looked at Minato. "We're counting on you."
I nodded, and Junpei turned to leave. "Heh. Looks like you're stuck playing leader again…" Junpei walked off. "Suck's to be you."
Yukari turned to the remaining persons. "I'll go get dressed too. See you downstairs."
"So," Mitsuru asked Minato and the other two, "How did you three know that this was coming?"
Minato, Souji and Hamuko turned around, deciding that the truth wasn't the correct answer. Souji quickly think for answer and found one, "Apathy syndrome's been on the rise lately. Since loads of victims died after we, I mean Thanatos killed the last one, and Shadow's cause Apathy Syndrome…"
She seemed to buy that.
(Ten Minutes Later – New City passenger train 'Anehazuru', Iwatodai Station)
The five persona user waiting for Mitsuru to come.
"Where is she?" Yukari asked no one in particular.
"She'll be here soon." Answered Junpei, who sitting on stairs.
Yukari then looked up to the dark, eerie green skies, "There's a full moon tonight... But, it look even creepier during the Dark Hour..."
Then they heard a motorbike.
Mitsuru had a motorbike. One that worked when everything else didn't. "It's special. Made by Kirijo Group" She told Junpei, who question her about how her motorbike can still function in the Dark Hour when the others already know.
"Sorry to keep you waiting, but listen carefully..." Mitsuru turned toward them, "Tonight, I'll be providing support from here. Everything else is the same. The shadow is currently located inside a monorail, not far from the station. To get there, you'll have to walk on the tracks."
Junpei looked worried, "Are you serious!? Isn't that dangerous...?"
"Don't worry." Mitsuru reasured him, "No electronic equipment is operate during the Dark Hour, including the monorails."
"But, your bi- oh right... special."
She nodded, "Now, if circumstances change, I'll notify you guys immediately." She then looked toward her wristwatch, which also seem 'special' too, "Let's get started."
They all nodded to her while chorussed, 'okay' at the same time.
(Dark Hour - Railway)
After exploring the railway for a while, they finally found a stopped monorail on the railway.
"This is it... Right?" asked Yukari.
Hamuko looked at the monorail, "I think so..." she feel that there's something off about the train but can't figuring out what it is.
"Can you all hear me?" Mitsuru voice can be heard through communicator on their ear.
Yukari nodded, "Yes, we can hear you clearly." She answered, "We just got here, but I don't see anything out of the ordinary..."
Hamuko want to deny Yukari's answer because she had an odd feeling about the train, but what it is, she couldn't remember. She looked toward her twin brother, who have a thinking look while observing the train.
"The readings are definitely coming from that monorail. Proceed with caution, and stay together." Mitsuru informed them.
"Got it." Yukari answered.
Junpei smirked, "Heheheh, my persona's just beggin' to be used!"
Yukari decided to climb into the train first, as if remembered something, she looked down toward the three male persona users. "Don't. Look. Up." She warned them as her left hand lowered her skirt.
After Yukari climb up and followed by Junpei and Souji, then Hamuko, who hesitantly climbing it. Minato then finally noticed something what was bothering him about the train, then he raised his point while start to climb the ladder.
"You know, Me and Hamuko sneaked in and out of trains during the dark hour all the time." Minato didn't want them running away before it happened. "And in all the years we did it," he continued, climbing the ladder, "Not once have the doors been open when the train wasn't in station." he climbed in and the doors closed behind him.
And then everybody went panicked.
Yukari looked around panickly.
Junpei started sweating and his legs began to trembling.
Souji face-palming himself for not noticing it sooner.
Hamuko glared at her twin brother for not mentioning it to them while at the same time feeling herself so stupid.
Minato just shrugged off Hamuko's glare, "Come on," he said, "The Shadow's trapped us, so we got to kill it if we want to leave."
"That is correct Arisato." Mitsuru was providing support. "The Shadow is at the other end of the train. Move with caution."
"R-Roger." The military term sounded forced coming from Yukari. "Let's go."
They moved forward. Yukari and Junpei seemed disturbed to the transmogrified coffins. While Souji looked at the coffin with slight interest. As for Minato and Hamuko, they already used to it.
The five of them proceed to the next carriage while walking catiously, Junpei began to complain, "What the heck? I don't see any shadows..."
"It's so quiet it's creepy..." muttered Yukari.
A Shadow suddenly fall from above, making Souji and Minato stabbing upward pure on reflex while Souji because of his instinct.
"What the hell man!?" Junpei seemed mad at the two for some reason. "You let it get away!"
Minato and Souji looking forward and surely there it is, a Muttering Tiara shadow waving at them behind the next carriage's door
Junpei reached for the door handle but Minato grabbed his wrist. "What the hell Minato!?"
"Something's not right," Mitsuru pointed out, "The enemy is acting strangely…"
Junpei almost lost it there. "But if we don't go after it, it's gonna get away!"
"Arisato, you're in charge over there. What do you think?"
"We should be careful." Minato answered, "It would be foolish to blindly chase after it, so-"
"Who needs your advice?" Junpei pushed Minato in the chest a fair few feet, "I'll kill it myself!" With that, he ran through the door, slamming it behind him.
"Junpei-kun! Wait!" Hamuko shouted to Junpei
"Idiot!"
"Watch out, behind you!"
Minato span around in time to block an attack headed for Yukari and him, making the shadow explode into four Muttering Tiara Shadows. Each shadow have set their target, which is made this equal number for the four persona user to figh one on one to each shadows.
The training result from exploring the Tartarus seemed to paid off. Without summoning their Persona, each of them managed to kill the shadow without broke a sweat.
After the battle was over, they regrouped, sighing in relief, while Yukari sighed for a different reason, "This is just what the enemy wanted..."
Hearing that, Souji froze, "What did you just say, Yukari-san?"
Yukari looked at him, "This is just the what enemy wanted?"
Souji began to thought, 'What they wanted? But the shadows were just mindless drones… unless…A shadow with significant power or rank can think and command other shadows. I noticed that all three of the shadows we'd seen that night had been of the Priestess.Last month they were all Magician.'
"Mitsuru Senpai, can you scan ahead and determine the Arcana of the large shadow?" Souji asked Mitsuru with a serious tone.
"It's the Priestess, why?"
It was lucky that Souji bought a Tarot deck recently after he lost his previous deck. He then started to open the book that came with it and noted the other's curious glance.
"Umm Sou-chan, I think this is not the right time to read a book now."
"Believe me, this will be usefull." Souji answered, searching the correct page on the book, "Any later and this'll be meaningless. There, Priestess."
Portrayed as an old woman with a closed book, the Priestess Arcana is a symbol of hidden knowledge or other untapped power, wisdom, female mystery and magic when it appears in tarot readings. The Priestess means someone with knowledge and wisdom, yet the reversed version of it means someone unable to use that knowledge or someone not able to take decisions.
"Great," said Souji, putting the book away. "This shadow is smart."
That confused the other, so Souji decided to summaring it, "Priestess represents hidden knowledge and wisdom. They're based of Tarot cards."
"While I interested about the teory, You all have to go after Iori, or you'll be picked off one by one."
"Dammit, Stupei! What are you thinking!?" Yukari yelled in anger as the four of them dashing through the door of the next carriage.
Other side of the door had Junpei surrounded by half a dozen shadows. Wasting no more time, Minato, Hamuko and Souji rushed to help him while Yukari provinding attack from distance with her arrow.
"Guys!?" Junpei seemed shocked to see them. "What the hell-?"
"Idiot," Minato told him as he and Hamuko grabbed their evoker then summoning their persona
"Orpheous!"
"Eurydice!"
With a sound of breaking glass, the two respective persona appeared. Clutching his lyre, Orpheus began smashing the nearest shadows into pulp while Eurydice playing her heart shaped lyre and burning the shadows with Agi spell.
"Izanagi!" Souji shouted. Summoning his own persona, which then cleaving the remaining shadows in half with his sword.
As they're sure no more shadow were attacking, Minato looked at Junpei, "You okay?"
Junpei huffed and looked away. "O-Of course I am... I was doin' just fine..."
"Excuse me!?" Yukari yelled.
"Be careful you all," Mitsuru interjected, "I don't detect any movement, but stay alert!"
"We don't see any shadow right now, it should be fine." Said Hamuko, "What else the worst possibly happen to us?"
As if the fate was mocking her, the train started moving.
"Woah, What the-!?" Junpei asked, "...Why are we moving!?"
Minato looked at his twin sister, "You realize that you're just jynxed us didn't you...?"
"It seems like the monorail is under the enemy's control."
"Waddaya mean, 'It seems'!?" Yukari started panick.
Then the train sped up, as if to spite her.
"Uh... This doesn't look good" said Junpei. His face covered in sweat.
"If we can't stop that thing, it'll crash into another train!"
"WHAT!?" Yukari screamed. "Oh God! What are we gonna do!?"
"Calm down and listen." Mitsuru tried to regain control. "I sense a strong presence in the front car. That must be the one we're after. You'll have to defeat it to stop the train."
"What kind of messed-up ride is this!?" Junpei yelled.
"How long do we have?" Souji and Minato asked at the same time, ignoring Junpei.
"Three Minutes."
"Let's get moving then!" Minato ordered. Then more shadows came to block their path, "Don't bother with your weapons, JUST USE PERSONA!" so he put his Evoker to his head while running.
"IZANAGI!"
"ORPHEOUS!"
"IO!"
"EURYDICE!"
"HERMES!"
The result was fire tornadoes and thunderstorm, destroying the shadows.
"Two minutes Forty seconds!"
They reached for the door to the next car, but stopped when saw the huge mass of shadows on the other side.
"WHAT!? Where did these come from!?"
"We just need to get through. Hack and slash, don't stop. How long do we have?" Minato asked Mitsuru.
"Two minutes twenty five seconds! The leader's in the compartment after this!"
Clenching his teeth, Minato closed his eyes, switching his persona and opened the door, pulling the trigger. "JACK FROST! MABUFU!"
A few of nearest shadows frozen in place being hit by the ice spell while the furthest just fell down, making them easy to fight.
"Here's our chance!" Minato turned to see Junpei slice through another Shadow. "LET'S GET 'EM!"
Junpei grinned, charging after the Shadows. "GET BACK HERE YOU SON OF A-"
"One minute fifty seconds remaining!"
Hamuko drew her Evoker and pulled the trigger, burning the enemies.
Minato charged and sumonning his persona as he smashing his lyre.
Yukari pointed her evoker to her temple, and attacking with wind spell.
Souji crushed the card on his hand and cleaving the shadows into half.
Junpei sliced through Shadow after Shadow, delivering death with each blow.
They were covered in the black ichor the Shadows left behind.
"ONE AND A HALF MINUTES! HURRY!"
There were still over two dozen shadows remaining. Putting the Evoker to his head, Minato roared as he and the other pulled the trigger
"IZANAGI!"
"ORPHEOUS!"
"IO!"
"EURYDICE!"
"HERMES!"
Flaming wind with thunder filled the room, picking off the survivors of their attack. Finally, the room was empty. Yukari collapsed to her knees, gasping for breath. "We… We did it…"
"Yeah…" Junpei seemed overwhelmed by it all.
The other stopped too. That was intense.
"What are you stopping for? THERE'S ONLY SEVENTY TWO SECONDS LEFT TO KILL THE PRIESTESS!"
They all froze. Not good.
"SEVENTY!"
They all got moving. Souji smashed the door to the next compartment with his shoulder, not bothering to slow down. They saw a giant woman, her right side was black and her left was white. She wore a cloth between her legs, and her hair fused into the power cables in the walls.
And then it summoned two more Shadows, Tiaras.
"WHAT THE HELL!?" Junpei yelled, "IS THIS THE FRIGGIN' BOSS!?"
The Shadows charged for them as the Priestess Shadow launched ice spells. Dodging, Souji asked "What's it weakness?"
"Hold on." Minato and Souji charged forward and slicing the Muttering Tiara, Junpei slashing through the other. Yukari summoned Io and cast a Garu while Hamuko cast Agi to the Priestess Shadow "It doesn't have one, but the only spells that won't work are Bufu, Mudo and Hama."
"Thanks. Then, EVERYONE! ALL OUT!"
They charged forward, but every time they got close, the Priestess sent them all flying back.
"Forty seconds left."
"HAMUKO!" Minato shouted.
"Right!"
""CADENZA!"" both of them shouted the skill's name, as soons as they heard the music, the five of them feeling better and becoming faster. But...
"You all run out of Spiritual Power! You'll have to rely on your own strength for now! Thirty seconds left!"
Junpei, Yukari, Hamuko and Minato paled and hesitated. Their secret weapon just ran out of bullets, and they're all going to die because they can't kill the Shadow.
It laughed.
The Shadow was laughing at them.
That laugh somehow irked Souji and Minato, ""SHUT UP!"" yelled both of them as they attempting to charge at the Priestess Shadow. But it launced an attack that strike the five of them simulatenously right in the stomach. Making them dropped their weapons and fell to the floor.
"One Strike!? Come one! Get up! Twenty two seconds left!"
"Dammit..." Junpei cursed while clutching his stomatch.
"Is this it...?" Minato muttered, "Are we going to die like this... in here..."
Souji, who tried to stand up, froze after hearing Minato said that. An image of his old friends and lover die in front of him in the hand of Izanami appeared in his mind, "No... No. NO! I WON'T LET THAT HAPPEN! I WILL GET STRONGER! STRONGER TO PROTECT WHAT IS PRECIOUS TO ME! I SWEAR I WON'T LET THAT HAPPENED AGAIN THIS TIME AROUND!" he shouted on his mind. A sudden rush of adrenaline flowing into his body. Unconsciously, he activated his eyes as he begin to get up and then grabbed Minato's Gladius with his left hand, his right hand gripped the Zanpakuto Sword tightly, with that he charged ahead toward the Priestess Shadow, ignoring the shout from his friends.
The Shadow launching an attack again, thankfully, because the effect of skill Cadenza still active, he maneuvered his body easily to dodging the attack.
As soon as Souji in front of the Priestess Shadow and shouted, "STARBURST STREAM!" with that, he making a horizontal swing from left to right with the right sword, immediately followed by an uppercut with the left sword. Souji then jumps up and slashes the Shadow with both swords from left to right while spinning, twice. After landind , facing the target and slashes an X from top to bottom, before inversely slashing the X again from bottom to top. He then leaps at the target and makes two diagonal slashes from the same starting point, with the left sword heading from top to bottom to the left, while the right sword heads from bottom to top toward the right.
Not giving any chance for the shadow to scream in pain, Souji reverses his grip on the two swords and slashes another X with both swords from top to bottom. He then does a barrel-roll like maneuver while slashing at the target, like a corkscrew. Then slashes another two X's at the Priestess Shadow, first from top to bottom and then bottom to top. He then makes a diagonal slash with the right sword, top-right to bottom-left, then spins left and uses this momentum to deal a horizontal, right to left slash with the left sword. Souji then, at a very high speed, makes an uppercut with the right sword; then another with the left sword, a downward slash with the right sword, then a downward diagonal slash towards the right with the left sword, spins and repeats the previous attack, and thrusts the right-handed sword out. With final slash is a forceful downward lunge with the left sword.
With that combo attack, The Priestess Shadow instantly dissolved into a black mass, sign that its alrady dead while at the same time the two swords that's Souji held broke into multiple pieces. Souji then fell back to the floor, panting, "J... Just what happened...?" he asked to no one, confused about how he could do such a move.
The others looking at Souji in amazement and awe because the display of sword-skill that Souji has done to the Priestess.
Junpei got up first "Did-Did we stop it..?" he fell back down as the train shook. "HEY!" he panic. "Why're we still moving!?"
"We're going to fast!" shout Yukari, "We have to put on the brake or else...!"
"What are you waiting for!? There's a train up ahead!"
Minato began to get up and ignore everyone's rising panic as he ran into the drivers compartment. He squeezed past the coffin to the controls and saw the train already up ahead.
He quickly grabbed the nearest lever and pulled it.
The train began to scream in pain, but it was too late. The two trains hit, and the world turned white.
"I told you already." Said a familiar voice. "I'm always with you…"
When Minato vision cleared, his head was resting on the controls, bleeding. Then he check to the others.
"D-Did we stop...?" Junpei asked no one as he getting up with shaking legs.
"I-I think so..." answered Hamuko.
"Is everybody alright!?" Mitsuru asked, sounding worried.
"Uh, y-yeah, we're okay." Answered Yukari as she also getting up, "Ha, haha... My knees are shaking..."
"Dude... I'm like drenched in sweat..."
"I'm so glad you're safe… I'm sorry I couldn't do more on my end…"Mitsuru seemed really sincere about that. "I don't detect any more shadows. You guys did a great job, so come on home."
"What about the other train? Don't we need to stop that too? We don't know whether or not this train was in reverse or not."
"I do. That train just left the station in the direction it was headed. Everything is fine. Thanks to the mild collision, we can easily explain the damage done to the train."
Hearing that, they all sighed in relief. Yukari then turned to Minato, "But, how did you know which one was the brake?"
Minato shrugged, "It was a lucky guess really."
Junpei looked surprised, "Are you kidding me!? Ah, whatever." That seemed cheer Junpei up somehow, "Wanna grab a bite to eat? I'm freakin' hungry!"
"Yeah... I could have one right now." Souji said.
Then all eyes were on Souji.
"Wh-What?" he asked them.
"Souji-kun..." Minato stared at him, "How do yo learn a skill like that?"
"Huh?"
"You know, when you shouted 'STARBURST STREAM' and doing that amazing move to defeated that shadow!" Exclaimed Junpei.
"Oh, that... To be honest, I actually didn't know how I can do such a thing." Souji answered sheepishly while rubbed the back of his head
"But it's looks like you have been mastered that skill for a long time!?"
"While I'm also curious about what happened, its just like my body just moving on its own. That's what I can describe." Souji answered honestly, "Or maybe it's because of the punishment...?" he muttered slowly.
"Punishment?" Junpei asked.
Souji shook his head, "Nothing, let's get to the dorm, I'm really hungry."
(Command Room – Dark Hour)
"Akihiko's here." He said to the communicator
"This is Mitsuru. We've succesfully completed the action. The monorail didn't sustain any noticeable damage." Mitsuru said.
"Thank you, Mitsuru." Ikutsuki thanked her, "When I heard they'd hijacked a monorail. I feared the worst. Well done." Ikutsuki smiled as he then sit on the chair, "Now, I don't have to worry about tomorrow's headlines."
"The team did a great job."
Akihiko looked to Ikutsuki, "But, what are the shadows up to?" he asked, "Taking over a monorail... This is getting out of hand."
"I'll be looking into the matter." Ikutsuki replied.
"Does this mean... it's begun?" Mitsuru asked.
"Hmmm... Let's not jump to any conclusions." Ikutsuki answered, "For now, we should study their behavior for patterns or clues. We cannot afford to always wait for them to make the first move."
"If I had more power, things wouldn't be so difficult for the others."
Ikutsuki shook his head, "Don't be so hard on yourself. You're doing fine. More importantly..." he paused as he looked toward Akihiko, "Do you have anything to drink, Akihiko?"
"Huh...?" Akihiko then noticed something about the chairman, "Why do you look so tired, Ikutsuki-san?" realization then come to his mind, "Wait... Don't tell me that bicycle outside is yours!"
Ikutsuki nodded tiredly, "Boy, am I gonna be sore tomorrow!"
