Part 229: Addendum XVIII: Almost Christmas
Addendum XVIII: Almost ChristmasMusic: Alleycat
It seems to be an invite to spend time together
...Is something wrong?
Very well. You can turn yourself in tomorrow morning.
But lets meet up, just the two of us. We can keep it a secret from everyone else. How about dinner somewhere, and then back to your room?
Couples usually spend this time together, dont they? Is there any way we could meet right now ?
But its Christmas Eve. I want to spend it together with you. Do you think we could walk around the city a bit and then head back to your room?
It said, You must deepen your love by spending time with your sweetheart. So can I see you right now?
Do you want to meet? I dont want to force it, but
...but I figured youd want to do something as a couple. You know, I wouldnt mind it if we spent the day together
But lets do something! Maybe eat and then head back to your place?
This update is going to just be seeing all these Christmas scenes. I have no idea why I decided to do this. If you dont care about any of this, you should probably just skip the next two updates. Or at least just watch the ones youre interested in.
Well choose Ann first.
Ill be waiting for you in front of Shibuya Station.
Music: Alright (Elp Version)
Ugh, I really messed up I thought wed be able to eat somewhere without a reservation. And this was supposed to be our chance to spend Christmas Eve together
Go out? Eat dinner together? If we were both adults get drunk together? I just dont know.
I wont be able to see Ann again after tomorrow We spent a long time talking
Surprise! You totally werent expecting that, now were you?
Music: Confession/Secret
But the whole Shido incident has been on the news every day, right? Im a little worried If the police find out about the Phantom Thieves Its not that Im afraid of getting caught. I lie awake at night thinking about what Id do if I couldnt see you anymore
But telling her about it would only cause her to panic
...Whats wrong?
Hm? For what?
Sorry, Im really ruining the mood I think Im just gonna go home.
No, Ill be OK.
...Good night.
Even so, this is the only way
Next up, Makoto.
Im over in Shibuya now. Lets meet up in front of the station.
Plus all the couples look so happy together
This isnt any different than usual, is it ?
I wont be able to see Makoto again after tomorrow We spent a long time talking
Its a present for you.
I hope you like it
If you love it so much, I guess you wont mind if I eat the receipt?
But my sister has been handling the Shido case. Seems like shes run into some trouble Not quite sure on what though All shes told me, is that theyre having a hard time getting people to testify against him. I trust my sister, and Im sure shell do her job well But, its a little scary, not knowing what might happen
Theres even the possibility that theyll fabricate a crime and move to arrest you all.
But telling her about it would only cause her to panic
...Whats wrong?
Wh-What do you mean ?
I-Im sorry for bringing up such a strange topic. On Christmas Eve, no less Ill be going now.
...No, Im fine.
Good night.
Even so, this is the only way
Youve probably noticed that those two scenes were near-identical! Well, we have five more to go!
Next, Hifumi.
Lets meet in Shibuya. Ill be waiting in front of the station.
Weaving through crowds of people Its as if I have become a knight I hope that this will make up for my lack of daily exercise
Youve been staring at me this entire time. Is there something youd like to say ?
I wont be able to see Hifumi again after tomorrow We spent a long time talking
Oh dear. I almost forgot something very important
Its nothing special, but I wanted you to have it
I wanted to talk to you about something today
Im worried that something might happen to you I thought that it was wrong for someone so righteous to get caught But *sigh* ...Sorry.
Theres even the possibility that theyll fabricate a crime and move to arrest you all.
But telling her about it would only cause her to panic
Um ?
Oh I see
Sorry, I should mind my own business Im going to go.
No, its fine.
...I wish you had talked to me about it.
...Good night.
Even so, this is the only way
Takemi time.
Im heading to Shibuya, so lets meet in front of the station.
Im surprised we ended up together, considering how many women there are in the world.
I wont be able to see Takemi again after tomorrow We spent a long time talking
...Take it. I know this isnt like me at all, but
I thought you died in a prison suicide, but here you are sitting right in front of me. That, of course, is something we should celebrate, you know? But I know thats not allowed in this country.
What, fucking minors? Oh, you mean the boring kind of celebrating.
Are you sure youre going to be OK ?
Theres even the possibility that theyll fabricate a crime and move to arrest you all.
But telling her about it would only cause her to panic
...Hm?
I see
Im beat Im going to go.
Ill be fine.
But you invited me, remember?
Good night
Even so, this is the only way
Now for Chihaya.
Lets meet in front of Shibuya Station.
You were looking at another girl, werent you?
FUCK
Youre trying to dodge the question, with all your might! Theres no point in trying to hide it from me.
And that conversation dies, resolution never to be reached.
I wont be able to see Chihaya again after tomorrow We spent a long time talking
Please take this. I hope you like it
...Just kidding.
...Can I tell you something without you getting angry? Thanks to the Phantom Thieves, this city or rather, this world is on a better path. However in contrast, you are personally facing a very bumpy road ahead Youre going to be OK, right ?
Theres even the possibility that theyll fabricate a crime and move to arrest you all.
But telling her about it would only cause her to panic
...Whats wrong?
Sorry this is so sudden I should go
I can get home by myself
Good night
Even so, this is the only way
Now for Ohya. Are you sick of this yet? I am!
Lets say we meet in Shibuya? Ill see you near the station.
Maybe we shouldnt have gone out
Man, no ones going for my lines tonight.
I wont be able to see Ohya again after tomorrow We spent a long time talking
Oh yeah
Youre happy right? Just admit it.
I heard that Shido is divulging everything. Its like hes a changed man. Rumor has it that his arrest is imminent. And another rumor I heard is that The police are gonna make a move to save face. And their target is the Phantom Thieves. They want to make it known that justice is on their side Im kinda worried
Theres even the possibility that theyll fabricate a crime and move to arrest you all.
But telling her about it would only cause her to panic
...Hm?
I see Im gonna go.
No need.
Good night
Even so, this is the only way
Last up, Kawakami. Cant even work up the urge to be skeeved out because Im so tired of transcribing the same shit.
OK, lets meet in Shibuya, near Buchiko.
Like how theyre totally OK with kissing in public while still wearing their uniforms Wouldnt it shock you if you saw something like that?
I wont be able to see Kawakami again after tomorrow We spent a long time talking
...Oh yeah!
Heres your present. Thanks for everything.
Im happy that I get to spend time with you like this, you know? Given I thought you were dead But I know that this isnt normal Does it bother you that I worry ?
Theres even the possibility that theyll fabricate a crime and move to arrest you all.
But telling her about it would only cause her to panic
I dont really understand the logic behind gotta turn myself in for Kawakamis/Hifumis/Takemis/Chihayas/Ohyas sake. Theyre not Phantom Thieves, theyre not the ones at risk here.
Hm? Whats wrong ?
I see So it is a bother I think Ill go
Its fine. I wouldnt want to bother you.
Even so, this is the only way
And were done with that nightmare of watching the same scene seven times. But another horror show waits just over the horizon. Join us next time for Valentines Day.
