[9:30 am, 29-May-2129 (SUNDAY)]

It’s the weekend. You sit at the kitchen table, idly browsing through your phone. In the distance, the dishwasher hums, the soapy liquid inside sloshing around plates and cutlery. Other than that, it’s quiet. Shizuka has gone to bed, leaving you to spend your time however you see fit. You are considering finishing off that last piece of economics homework when your phone rings. You pick it up.

“Yo, Takashi!”

“Hey, Takauji. What’s up?”

You can hear the grin through the speakers. “I just got two tickets to an idol rave. Wanna come with me?”

“Where did you get those tickets? And what about Kanami and Kanade?”

“There was this raffle in the cafeteria yesterday and I won the first prize. Kanade is busy tutoring a kid and Kanami doesn’t like idol shows.”

“So I’m last place, eh?” You say, smirking.

“Hey, I heard you liked idol shows.”

“From whom? Wait, don’t tell me. It was Celeste, who told Kanami, who told you. That’s it, isn’t it?”

“I dunno, was it? I don’t remember where I picked up that info from. Anyway, you coming? If you don’t, I’ll have to give these tickets away.”

“Do you even like idol shows, Takauji?”

“Actually, I’ve never been to one before, so I’m curious. I've heard it's fun with friends, though.”

How will you respond?

He gives you the address to a theatre in a shopping center in Shakedown March, which you note on your phone’s GPS.

After riding the subway train, squashed between a wall and a fat bloke in a T-shirt, you enter the theatre and meet up with Takauji.

“Geez, how did you get us such good seats?”

“Hell if I know? They were on the ticket.” Takauji shouts. Even though the show hasn’t started, the place is loud as heck. Fans, of all ages and sizes (but mostly males) are chattering to each other, discussing merchandise, songs and whether or not the idols are likely to be virgins or not. You and your spiky-haired friend are in the very front row, giving you a good view of the entire stage. “I guess that’s why they were on a raffle. A lot of dudes were participating in it, too.”

“So you’re saying this is a big deal?” You quickly glance behind you and see a sea of printed T-shirts, headbands with love hearts and glow sticks. It might be just your imagination, but you think over seventy percent of those fans are glaring at you with Takauji with envy. Like, ‘how dare these casuals are sitting in the front row, they’re not even wearing idol-scented deodorant’ or something.

“Maybe? There's quite a lot of guys behind us.” Takauji shrugs his shoulders. “I don’t know much about the idol industry.”

“You know, I thought Kanami would be more hesitant to let you come.”

“Yeah, same. I think she’s feeling a little bit generous today.”

>>46024061
If we turn around and take a closer look, we're gonna see her in the audience, won't we?

The lights suddenly dim. The entire theatre goes quiet. You hear the drawing of thousands of bated breaths.

“Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for coming here today!” An announcer booms from the front, “Allow 248 Productions to proudly present…”

Smoke explodes in the center of the stage, signalling the rising of a platform. It brings in three girls dressed in frilly dance costumes. You notice that they’re around your age. Then you notice the mild joint marks around their wrists and necks, along with the shiny glow of synthetic hair.

They’re androids. Of course they are! It’s not as if your nee-san needed more ammunition! You feel silly for expecting anything else.

“…the Moonlight Valentine trio!”

The crowd roars with approval. People stand up, cheering, dancing and waving their glow sticks about like they're air traffic controllers trying to stop a plane from landing. The three idols on stage skip forward and pose.

“Ufufu, please cheer for me!” The haughty purple one giggles, blowing a kiss.

“I’ll do my best as a princess!” The shy silver one smiles, waving her hand.

“It’s the perfect day for a banquet…” The spooky blonde one states, smiling mischievously.

Then they jump to their places and break into song.

hmmmm. So Persona Augmentation is defined as using Persona Skills without summoning. Presumably, this includes physical skills.

But those skills are based on stats, so pumping STR/DEX increases the raw power we put into attacks, while MAG would give us more variety and range even without summoning.

Yeah, it’s pretty cool. You can’t help think that it was manufactured that way by whatever company is sponsoring these idols to be as catchy and as appealing to young people as possible. You don’t mind though. You’re not exactly picky about what artist or genre your music has to be. If it sounds good, then it’s good. Celeste might have a different opinion, but she isn’t here.

The songs finish and the idols bow. The crowd screams for an encore, which they happily provide. You watch with anticipation as the LCD screen behind the stage shifts and the idols begin to sing. Then you notice Takauji staring at the screen with what you hope isn’t suspicion.

“Takashi, does that castle look familiar with you?” He whispers.

“No, why?”

“Just a thought..” He nods, and resumes watching. A minute later, he says. “Idol shows are supposed to be loud, right?”

You think back to the last show you attended. Yeah, it had been full of noise. It was mostly because one of the performers tossed her scarf into the audience, which was pounced upon by the nearby fans like wolves towards a bowl of meat.

“Yes, so?” You end up replying.

“Cool.” Then Takauji stands up, cups his hands around his mouth and shouts.

“HEY GIRLS! DISNEY CALLED, AND THEY WANT THEIR—”

Your leg shoots out and slams into Takauji's ankle, knocking him down into his chair. Then you smash your hand over his mouth before the two of you are assaulted by rabid fans, casual fans, the security guards wearing sunglasses indoors, the producers, the idols on stage and everyone else left in the theatre.

“You are a fucking retard.”

“Yeah, I know. Worth it, though!”

“Seriously, what the hell was that about? I was enjoying that show, too!”

“Hahaha, I just wanted to have a bit of fun. C’mon, to make it up for you I’ll pay for lunch.”

The show has ended. Fate must be on your side today, because you and Takauji managed to avoid getting kicked out of the theatre. He kept making what he thought was hilarious comments about the idol group’s dress code, however. You do agree with him on one point: mushroom costumes do indeed look stupid.

The two of you are outside, sitting on a bench in a local park. Today’s lunch is hot dogs purchased from a nearby stand, covered in mustard and sprinkled with fried onions. You eat quietly, savoring every bite. Takauji chomps down the sausage first, then chews through the bread like it’s one of those tasteless consumable plastic trays.

“So…you got anything else planned for the day?”

“Nope. You?”

“Not really. Thinking about going home to study.”

“That sounds boring, man.”

“I know.”

The two of you sit silence. A group of children playfighting in a nearby sandpit, only to be hauled away by their fussy mothers. You think.

“Want to have a spar?” You say, wiping your mouth with a napkin.

Takauji stares at you, then grins. “Ready when you are, buddy!”

He takes you to a nearby gym. You stand at the opposite end of a small training room, still dressed in your T-shirt and jeans. Takauji does a few stretches and cracks his hardened knuckles.

“Alright, since you’re obviously not as good as me, I’ll say that you win if you manage to hit me once.”

“What about you?”

“I win if I beat your ass to the point where you can’t move.” He beckons with his fingers, inviting you to run up and slug him in the jaw. “Come on, Takashi!”

It goes like all your spars with Takauji do. You try to punch him and he does some fancy footwork to dodge. You kick and he counters, knocking you flat on your back. Repeat this process a dozen times and you end up with a sore spine and aching legs.

“Damn, you’ve gotten a bit faster. Almost thought you were going to catch me there.”

“One day…” You pant, clutching your kneecaps with your sweaty palms. “I am going to get to your level and I am going to smash your face in.”

“Wouldn’t the first time that’s happened.” He grins. “Kanade did that me in our first duel. C’mon, let me give you a hand and we’ll work on your punches…”

You then spend the rest of the afternoon learning how to correctly punch with Takauji. He puts on some pads on his hands and asks you to hit them as hard as you can.

“Dude, quit punching from the same place all the time. It’s getting predictable…”

“That’s good. Now put some more force into it!”

“Oh, savate has kicks as well, huh? Let’s practice those as well!”

>Gained 6.00 C. EXP.
>Your WILLPOWER has increased by 6 points!

“Hey, Takashi, wanna learn a new skill?”

“Which one?”

“It’s one that I use all the time. Trust me, it's really good...”

>Learned Mana Fist, a chi casting skill that scales with both MAG and STR.

And that’s how you spend your Sunday morning and afternoon.

“See you tomorrow, Takashi!”

“Later, man…”

>You feel as if you have grown closer to Takauji. Your relationship might become deeper soon…

“Nee-san, can you teach me how to cook something?’

“I’d be glad to.” She says, rising from the couch. “What’s the event, though?”

“Eh, nothing much. Just thought it might be something I need to learn.” You say. “So far, I’ve managed to cook bacon and fried eggs.”

Your sister muses over this for a second. “Do you know how to cook rice?”

“With the rice cooker? Yeah, I can do that.”

“Okay, but what about rice with flavor? Such as fried rice?”

“I think that’s a no.”

She smiles at you. “Then let’s get started, shall we?”

She takes you to the kitchen, where she puts on a plain white apron. Together, the two of you retrieve ingredients from the fridge and put them on the counter. Spring onions, real onions, tomatoes, eggs, peas, corns and rice. Shizuka then teaches you about the various condiments used in the kitchen, soy sauce, salt, pepper, sugar and the like.

“Cutting up the ingredients is just as important, Takashi. Look closely.” She takes the knife and slices the tomato into neat little pices. “Now, you try.”

With your level of dexterity, you manage to prepare the ingredients without too many mistakes. Shizuka then puts a pan on the stove and turns on the gas.

“I think the best way for you to learn is for you to try. Give it a go, Takashi. If anything goes wrong, I’ll jump in to assist.”

>>Takashi: Mess up horribly in front of your sister.

“Well, that happened.” Shizuka says, staring at the blackened bowels of the frying pan. “I didn’t know rice could stick that well to the bottom. This is supposed to be non-stick, too.”

“Rub it in, will you?” You grit your teeth, sulking.

Shizuka lifts up the pan. Specks of carbon, formed from rice clumps and burned eggs, fall from the insides and onto the kitchen floor. “I don’t think we can use this any longer. I could ask someone to repair it for us, but it wouldn’t be worth the cost. Good thing we have backups, though.”

You groan and take off your apron. “So this cooking thing was a bust, huh? Maybe I should stick to pre-packaged meals after all…”

Shizuka frowns. “Hey, don’t say that. It’s too early for you to give up. Fried rice might’ve been too advanced for you, is all.”

You recall what you ranted at Chikashi yesterday and shudder. “Yeah, I didn’t really mean that. Seriously though, how the hell did this happen?”

“It’s best not to dwell on it. I’ll teach you how to do more simple dishes. Like vegetables! You like your vegetables, don’t you Takashi?”

“Only when you cook them, nee-san.”

“Then I’ll teach you the recipes, so you can cook them whenever you want!”

You spend the rest of the night learning from your nee-san about buk choy, carrots, onions and the many ways to fry and boil them. She also teaches you how to make simple soups and a decent mashed potato. Throughout it all, you perform the tasks with a smile on your face. It’s nice doing simple stuff with your nee-san like this. The sense of accomplish you get, even if it’s for the tiniest of tasks, fills your heart with joy. Her gentle encouragements and praises help as well.

It makes you wonder why you didn’t do something like this before…

“It’s good that you asked me how to cook, Takashi.”

The two of you are sitting on the dinner table, having finished sampling some of the dishes you made. The rest of it has gone into your lunch box for tomorrow.

“Why, nee-san?”

“Because I’ve been assigned to a job in main Tokyo. They want be to teach a bunch of rookies. It’ll take around a month.”

This isn't the first time it's happened before. It means you will be completely alone at home.
