Juro Kurabes Juro Kurabe event has been completed. Juro Kurabe.
Chapter 95: Megumi Yakushiji 6
We havent done a Megumi chapter since 60. Lets see what shes been up to.
Music: Staring Into The Void (Yoshimi Kudo)
Use Spatula on Kitchen
Time to cook some Hamburg steak.
Youre awake. Just in time for dinner.
Music: Deafening Silence (Mitsuhiro Kaneda)
You knew about this? That these dreams are really his memories?
Please tell me.
Consider Juros Memories
(His memories havent returned yet. Is what Fluffys been doing really working? I hope so )
Use Juro Izumi on Juro Kurabe
Why are you saying that?
Its all I can say.
My grandma?
Please, dont ask me anything else. I wont be able to continue staying here if you do.
*annoyed scoff*
Consider Tamao Kurabe
So this is where you went.
Hm. I suppose this is technically the first time weve met. Im Tamao Kurabe.
Wh-What do you want?
I know you have feelings for Juro.
You desire to be by his side, do you not?
Oh, well Of course I do.
Then you will do just that. Ill make the arrangements.
What?
Music: Bittersweet Sorrow (Composer: Azusa Chiba, Arranger: Kikuchi Yukinori)
First You will treat him as Juro Kurabe.
Huh ?
You must not tell him anything about the future. Or about himself.
But why?
Its the only way to keep him safe.
I dont understand.
Can you do it? Can you treat him only as Juro Kurabe?
Well, I
If he starts to remember he is Juro Izumi You must tell me immediately.
But he is Why would that be bad?
It would be dangerous if he became Juro Izumi. Very dangerous The reasons are unimportant.
Thats not suspicious at all!
If you agree to these two conditions You can live with him.
Megumi doesnt need to think twice.
How wonderful.
These documents make it legal for you to live with him.
Ill tell Morimura-san of our arrangement myself. Please, go to Juro now.
Hey, Megumi? Im just wondering why you never found it weird that this woman youd never met with the same name as Juros grandmother gave you a rental agreement without telling Juro about it? Seems a little strange, to me.
Eh, maybe its just motivated reasoning.
Poor Megumi.
God, you got it bad, girl.
Oh, yes.
For quite a while at this point, I might add.
Has there been any change?
Music: Somethings Fishy (Kikuchi Yukinori)
Any confusion about being Juro Izumi?
What makes you ask that?
It sounds like you know something.
Dont tell me
*shock*
Is something wrong? You look pale.
Wait we saw this quite recently, in fact
*silent shock*
The way I am now is something you created.
Whats this all of a sudden?
I get it now The woman who keeps showing up in my dreams The one I saw on Sumire Bridge Its not Fuyusaka-san. Its you. Chihiro Morimura.
Have you been aware this whole time?
Thanks, random passerby, for getting in the way of this shot.
Juro backs away from Ms. Morimura.
Hmmm I dont know.
Oh, hey Fluffy. You sure did appear out of nowhere.
Wont other people see?
Music: The Chills (Yoshimi Kudo)
That idiot. He got too close to some dangerous people.
Dangerous?
Those who use magic for their own means. You went there before. The abandoned factory in Higoromo-cho. Theyre going to alter his memories.
Oh, like youve been doing? Dont really see the issue, then.
Fluffy begins to fade.
Dammit Hes getting too far
I knew he wasnt real.
Through the walls, a muffled *chunk* sound can be heard. Its the sound of the nanomachine injectorthe magical gun.
Okino!?
Through the walls, Hijiyamas voice rings out, then the same sound again, before Hijiyama collapses.
You know Fluffy?
Fluffy?
Dont worry. He can make you better.
This is getting uncomfortable in about eight different ways.
Youre starting to recognize whats in your dreams, arent you? Do you remember me?
Its not exactly like that.
Music: Hard Pill to Swallow (Kikuchi Yukinori)
*gasp*
The things I saw in my dreams
*gasp*
I was so afraid that That Id hurt you again.
Little late for that, Juro!
Theres no trace of him inside you? *fighting back tears* No
I Im such an idiot
Well, yes, but theres plenty of that to go around in this game.
Yakushiji
That cat. What was the point!?
And so, Megumi just found out she got duped and everything she was put through was meaningless. Well, at least to the goal of getting her Juro back. Poor thing.
The only update to any Mystery Files for this event (at least, regarding files we have unlocked) concerns the rental agreement, of all things.
But theres a couple more things I wanted to check from this event
What happens if you reject Tamaos offer?
I see That is unfortunate.
Just like with Fluffys offer, its not a real choice, obviously. But speaking of that, I was also wondering what was up with this scene in another way. Was this the Tamao android being controlled by the former Tamao Kurabe, or was it the Tamao android being controlled by 426? For this, well need to check the order of events in the Event Archive.
As you can see here, the event where Tamao is replaced by 426, Exterminator, takes place after A Promise to Tamao, meaning that this was, in fact, the Tamao android. I guess Fluffy was just taking advantage of Tamaos decision and not actually planning that bit out. Though now that I think about it, it would have to have been Tamaos decision, because I cant really see 426 convincing Morimura to go along with this without blowing his cover.
Finally, this probably wont play well with the archive, but Billy Kametz, voice of Nenji, passed away this week, so Id just like to pay respects here. You were incredible, man.
