The color in Ren's face returned as he steeled his resolve.
"She is going to embarrass the hell out of me..." Ren muttered.
But the team didn't notice. They were still in shock after finding out that the man they had met yesterday was dating multiple women!!
"A harem..." Shiho muttered in disbelief.
"There's no way that works, right? You're lying, right?" Ryuji sputtered.
"No." Ren eyed Ryuji. "And those four are terrifying. I don't know how he does it."
"FOUR?!"
"Anyway, enough about—"
Orihime cut in, confused.
"What's a harem? Who is dating Yu? I'm confused."
Ann leaned over to the confused girl and whispered in her ear.
Orihime began to fiercely blush and fan her face. "Oh my goodness."
"So, I talked to Morgana and Fuuka. If we are going to have to deal with this, we will have to train in Mementos."
"Hmm. Good idea," Shiho replied, shaking off her surprise.
'Harem?!'
'In my time, it was normal for powerful people to have multiple partners. And that man...' Scáthach shivered in excitement. 'Become strong, disciple. The Trickster will follow in his footsteps.'
?!?!
'Scáthach?!'
"Ryuji, Shiho, pay attention," Morgana chided. "This is important."
"I didn't really want to go down there and do nothing. But Morgana told me something quite interesting," Ren revealed with a smile.
Recovering himself, Ryuji briefly sputtered before shaking his head.
'I don't believe it.'
"What?" he barely got out.
"We can do small changes of heart by finding a Shadow who is on the verge of forming a Palace and stopping them." Morgana gave a Cheshire grin.
"I'm so mad I can't hear him," Orihime pouted as she watched Morgana strut around proudly and meow repeatedly.
"But how would we find them?" Ann asked with a scrunched brow.
"A website," Ren revealed.
"Oh. So people report things, and we change the heart of the person," Shiho muttered.
"Isn't that a little irresponsible?"
"I agree," Ren nodded. "Therefore, before we set anything up, we wanted to talk to the group."
"I don't see a problem with it. We can help people," Ryuji suddenly said in great spirits.
"Yeah!" Ann agreed.
"So, a vote. Who is okay with this?"
"Wait," Orihime said. "I'm not sure what Morgana said, but if people are reporting bad behavior online, it should probably be anonymous reports."
The team looked at her for a second.
"I AM an honors student, you know!" she said with puffed cheeks.
The day ended swiftly. Ren texted Fuuka and told her that the plan was a go. She simply responded with a thumbs-up GIF. She did say she would be busy.
After briefly stopping in Mementos on the way back from school, Orihime was in great spirits after becoming able to hear Morgana. She was hugging him tightly and squealing over how cute it was, with Shiho laughing and saying she had the same reaction.
"Lady Ann thought I was a monster," Morgana said with flattened ears.
"I'm so sorry, Morgana. I wasn't expecting that at all!"
"Hehe, it's okay, Lady Ann," Morgana said with a smile.
The group decided to head to the arcade again. Once more, Ann whooped everyone in Smash Brothers. But surprisingly, Orihime won against everyone in Dance Dance Revolution!
"Your boobs are a cheat item!" Ann accused when she noticed the boys staring in awe and not dancing.
Orihime tilted her head and looked down before squealing, covering her chest, and running off, Ann following along and apologizing profusely.
"So jiggly..." Morgana whispered in a trance, which caused Shiho to give him a fierce glare.
But when she turned around to go after Ann and Orihime, Ren, Ryuji, and Morgana all met eyes. The two humans gave a thumbs-up, and Morgana nodded.
"We should get her something as an apology," Ren said awkwardly.
"...Yeah, probably," Ryuji mumbled.
"Crane game, Joker?"
"Yeah..." Ren said as he headed toward it.
"I'll just give her normal food or something. I don't know how she eats an entire loaf of bread for lunch," Ryuji said. "She doesn't even butter it!"
"Nor slice it," Ren said with a chuckle, playing the crane game.
"I am glad that the girls found a new friend, though," Ryuji said. "I haven't seen Ann so happy since she met Shiho in middle school."
"Why a plushie of a leek?" Morgana asked in disgust. "You got the other girls Jack Frost plushies."
"I don't know..." Ren answered with a frown. "I just felt like she'd like it."
'Have I met her in the past? Fucking memories,' Ren thought in frustration.
His Personas didn't respond. But he could feel them trying to comfort him.
