May 6
On the way to school.
Yosuke rode up behind me. His bike sounds like it's in rough shape
"Yo! Dammit I just fixed this thing, it's making squeaking sounds again." He said
"Maybe you need a new one." I said
"Huh? Yeah, hey, about the other day, I'm sorry about what I said to Nanako chan. After hanging out with Nanako chan I feel even stronger that we have to solve this case." He said
"I'm counting on you." I said
"Hehe, same to you." He said. "Y'know Chie and Yukiko seem different lately, they're a lot closer. Oh yeah I was just curious, are you, ehh never mind if we keep chatting we're gonna be late. Man, school's such a chore, and now my bike's messed up too. The roads are much wider here than in the city, so I keep speeding. I guess that did it. Oh well, until I get my motorcycle licence I'll just have to walk."
After school. In the classroom.
"Ugh, why do the holidays have to end so fast?" Chie asked
"At least they were peaceful. I listened in on the housewives gossiping at Junes, but it doesn't seem like anything happened. And I haven't heard anything about someone disappearing suddenly either. Y'think Yukiko could've been the last of the victims?" Yosuke asked
"I doubt this is over." I said
"Hmm." Chie said
"I don't know. But we shouldn't relax as long as the culprit remains at large." Yukiko said
"I wonder, will someone show up on the TV when it rains? If only we knew a little more about who the killer might be." Yosuke said
"Eh, it's no good fretting over it now, if someone does show up on the Midnight Channel, then we'll deal with it. It's supposed to start raining soon, but I hope this weather holds through next week. You know, midterms." Chie said
"Ugh, you had to go bring that up. I don't even wanna think about it." Yosuke said
"*sigh, I wish I had Yukiko's gift for studying." Chie said. "Hey Yosuke, why don't you have Yukiko go over some of the material with you?"
"Hm? Oh right, Yukiko's ranked at the top of every exam." Yosuke said. "Maybe I should ask her for some private lessons."
"P-private lessons?" Yukiko asked
"Huh? What's wrong?" Yosuke asked
Yukiko slapped him.
"Ow! What was that for? I'm just asking you to help me study!" Yosuke said
"Oh I'm sorry, you were talking about studying." She said. "I thought it might have been some off colour joke, our inn's had some strange visitors lately."
"If you thought it was a joke then just shrug it off!" Yosuke said
"Sorry, my hand moved without thinking." Yukiko said
"Thanks a lot Chie, for bringing up the whole studying thing." Yosuke said
"Wh-what did I do!? You're the one who made it sound creepy and wrong! "Private Lessons," Huh?" Chie asked
"Wha- THEN IT'S MOSTLY MY FAULT!?" Yosuke said
"Oh, I should start heading home." Yukiko said
The other two continued to argue
After school.
I'm going back to the shrine, see if the fox has another request for me. You've gotta be kidding me, "I want things to go well with the person I like!"? How the hell am I supposed to help with that?
*sigh, it looks like a girl's writing, maybe someone my age. Guess I'll check the school.
There's a girl by the entrance standing at the shoe boxes, she looks, stressed, also she's standing in front of mine.
"Ahh! Oh you're one of the transfer Students. Y/n, oh this is your shoe box! I must've made a mistake!" She said
The female student ran away, there's something in my shoe box. It's a note.
"Excuse me for writing this to you out of the blue. I held back my emotions all the time because I didn't want to interrupt your studies, but I just had to tell you. I love you!"
It's a very moving love note, however it's addressed to someone else, oh well. I have a feeling this is the girl that made the request. I should talk to her the next time I see her.
Let's see what Chie's up to.
We headed down to the river to train.
"Alllright! Today's the day!" She said
Nanako came walking by.
"Huh?" She said
"Oh! Nanako chan!
"What are you doing?" She asked
"Hm? Training of course!" Chie said
"Training." Nanako said. "Who are you fighting with Chie?"
"Hmmm, myself I guess? Heheh, just kidding." She said
"Wow! Cool!" Nanako said
"Y-you think? Hahaha." Chie said
"Ooh a grasshopper!" Nanako said
"Huh!? N-No way! Where!?" Chie asked
"It just landed on your back." Nanako said
Chie screamed.
"Get it off! Get it off me!" Chie said
Author's Note: ok so fun fact, the game fades to black when it says Nanako takes the grasshopper off, for some reason.
Nanako took the grasshopper off.
"You don't like grasshoppers?" Nanako asked
"I'm no good with anything with thin jointed legs, or anything creepy or squirmy! Ack! Now I can't get them out of my mind. I can't stand those things!" Chie said
I am resisting laughing my guts out at the moment. The mighty Chie, almost brought to tears, by a grasshopper!?
"But they're cute." Nanako said
"You're like Yukiko. Oh see, cause Yukiko's fine around bugs. But I totally lose it, kinda funny, huh?" She said
"It's hilarious." I said
"A lot of kids in my class don't like bugs. It's not just you, don't worry. Nanako chan, oh you don't know how much that makes me happy. Thanks! C'mon, you wanna train too! I can't do frog hops with him, so do you wanna join in?" Chie asked
"Okay!" Nanako said
"Let's start with a form, I'll teach you a kata." Chie said
Chie and Nanako trained, after that I sent Nanako home before it got dark.
"I'm gonna get over my fear of bugs! I don't want to look like a sissy next to Nanako chan! All I have to do is think of them like shadows, then I'll be able to grab a whole fistful. I-I just gave myself goosebumps. G-getting used to bugs might take a while, but I won't lose to shadows!" She said

After finishing training, I walked home partway with Chie.
