Part 18: Megumi Yakushiji 2.5
Chapter 18: Megumi Yakushiji 2.5Music: BUDDIES (Azusa Chiba)
Oh, hey Fluffy. Who do we
Are you ignoring me because of yesterday?
Someone might overhear.
Thats why weve been leaving at different times. Meeting like this defeats the purpose.
Should we start going together then?
*sigh* Youre missing the point. Oh
*yawn* Morning.
What are you listening to?
Just brushing up on my English conversations.
Wow
Im obviously kidding. Im jamming to rock, of course.
Man, this really is the 80s. Such dated turns of phrase.
Oh. Well, your grades are always so good. It seemed believable.
*laughs* Ya think so?
I was wondering. Can I come over today?
Sure, why not.
Great.
Oh, right. Gonna swing by the vending machines before class starts.
Okay. Ill see you after school.
Was there something else we were supposed to do right now? Nah, lets just head inside.
Music: Bad Omen (Mitsuhiro Kaneda)
Iori runs over to the left and calls over Juro to follow her. I have no idea why she does this.
Oh yeah I didnt know you were into action movies. That one was a masterpiece. Pretty awesome
Lucky you.
That series is really cool. It featured all kinds of different kaiju. If you love movies that much You should check out this drama series.
Whats it about?
Youve never seen it before? Youre so interesting, Fuyusaka-san.
( )
I cant believe Juro is cheating on Megumi! This will not stand! Go confront him!
Oh, Yakushiji.
So, you and that girl Looks like you two are pretty close.
Wh-What are you talking about? More importantly, *why* are you talking to me? Wed get expelled if they knew we were living together. Thats why we decided not to talk to each other at school.
With that, Juro literally runs away. That boy aint right.
From the old building, you know? That place is freakin scary at night.
Its all dark and totally deserted. I heard some shady people hang out there now.
Just walk right on by like you cant see me.
And, oh, I dont know, actually *tell* them what their plans are.
Oh, right. We were supposed to get our new mission from Fluffy today. Oops.
Im going to be staking out the witch tomorrow. So when school is over, hurry your dumb human legs And get to the passageway outside the old building.
When school is over, hurry to the old building passageway.
Oh yeah, and how about next time you address me Show a little respect and use sir.
Piss off, cat!
Use Kitchen Knife on Kitchen
Ill grill some mackerel. Oh, and simmer some taro!
Its like youre more cat than I am.
Ah, hell. Hes coming. All right, listen up. Ill be waiting for you after school. You better not forget! *flees*
From there, the scene proceeds identically to the previous night.
Music: BUDDIES (Azusa Chiba)
Once Shu and Juro head inside after their conversation, we can talk to Fluffy and reconfirm our mission.
After school. Old building passageway. Got that?
I have to go. Fluffys waiting for me
Here kitty, kitty
Music: Between The Lines (Kikuchi Yukinori)
And is wearing a school uniform with no buttons.
Uh huh. Now, there *could* be one small hiccup
That seems like a pretty big hiccup to me!
Well, in case youve never been shot before, it hurts. So
How badly would it hurt If I were to be shot?
Would Juro even cry for me?
Maybe he made a mistake
Music: Cognitive Dissonance (Rikako Watanabe)
Youre not sneaking up on anyone that way.
Youre from Sector 3.
Youre from back then So youre the one. Youre one of Juros friends.
What are you doing here?
It doesnt concern you.
Blatant lie!
I dont think this was your idea. Who are you being used by?
Im fine with being used.
Ill do whatever I have to.
Megumi picks up the Magical Gun.
And Ei just lets her leave.
The last place the Sentinel was seen It should be somewhere nearby.
Music: Power Of Destruction (Mitsuhiro Kaneda)
But wheres Juro? Juro, where are you? He couldnt possibly Still be in there?
The all-too-familiar teleportation aura fades in. Better get outta there before you get Timecopd, Megumi.
*crying* Im so glad Youre still alive
Im sorry. I couldnt protect your city.
Shh. It doesnt matter I was so worried about you.
Right! Ill go find help.
They have to still be here somewhere Thats what you said. I just have to find them.
Juro?
Wait
Music: Self Sacrifice (Yoshimi Kudo)
Please, dont go
Youre hurt. We need to get help.
I need you To stay Please
I cant See your face
Why Why did you get in that Sentinel? You knew this is what would happen.
I wanted to protect What was important to you I wanted to Protect you
*crying*
Hi, BJ! If that is BJ, of course. Could always just be an identical robit.
Unbelievable
The moment you enter the Sentinel You inflict irreversible damage to your brain. Your memory is destroyed, and worst case, you become a husk.
Just being inside for a few minutes can be fatal. Izumi endured that pain. He fought in there for over 2 hours. He displayed incredible strength. But You understand, dont you? Its too late for him.
There was a time I fought alongside him.
So youre one of his comrades. And yet, you wont even try. Please, there must be something you can do
Izumi was a dependable and true ally. I will mourn this loss as well.
*crying*
So, Megumi is now locked. Well, sort of. We actually have exactly enough Mystery Points at the moment to unlock the files to make this scene available, I just havent done it yet. Ill put her on the voting list as if there isnt a lock here.
Anyway, if you dont forget to talk to Fluffy after Juro and Shus conversation outside, here is what happens:
Instead of some crazy person Who thinks cats give a crap about what she has to say.
Anyways So?
I havent spotted the witch yet. Ill keep a lookout. Meet me after school. In the passageway outside the old building.
Thats it.

As youll notice, Ive stopped posting the completion percentages next to the options, because I realized it was probably just going to lead us to just keeping everyone about even in terms of progress. Thats a fine way to play, but I dont want it to be the only consideration.
The poll is here.
