You start to think you'll have to get creative. Thinking quickly, you grab one of the chairs and hurl it at the Shadow.

"CENTAUR, COME FORTH!"

Centaur manifests behind you and the flung chair is suddenly much heavier due to a thick layer of ice surrounding it. The Shadow screams as the frozen chair breaks against its malformed body. Hiroji takes a couple shots at it with his shotgun, Yolanda stabs it with her sword, and Momoko has La Maupin use its Cleave attack, cutting one of the limbs of the Shadow off.

"YOU BITCH! FORGET TAKING YOU BACK...NOW WE'RE GONNA KILL YOU!" screams the Shadow Yankiis.

An orange aura surrounds the Shadow, but it looks seriously wounded.

"Everyone, BRACE YOURSELVES!" you shout. The entire group takes a defensive stance as the Shadow Yankii swings an oversized arm in a circle, smashing it into all of you.

"Yolanda, I got an idea!" you yell. "You use a water attack, I freeze it!"

"Affirmative." answers Yolanda. "Alcina!"

Alcina emerges and sprays down the Shadow, while Centaur appears, freezing it around the Shadow.

The Shadow strains against its frozen prison, but finds itself unable to move. "Hiroji! Momoko! SMASH IT!" you yell.

"On it!" answers Hiroji. Arjay brandishes his guitar and charges, swinging it over his head in a circle before smashing it down on the Shadow's head. There's a cracking sound and the Shadow's misshapen head is bent at an angle that is unnatural, even for its malformed body. La Maupin leaps into the air and points its rapier downward, falling down...

"NO! NOOOOO!" screams the Shadow. There's the sound of steel against bone followed by a wet spurting noise as the rapier blade is plunged into the Shadow's forehead. La Maupin's boot is planted firmly on the Shadow's face as it twists the blade, pulls out, and stabs it back in one final time. The Shadow lets out a death shriek as it explodes into black mist and disappears completely.

>Alcina has leveled up!

>Arjay has leveled up!
>Arjay has learned Lucky Punch!

You lean on your spear, feeling drained from using that Frost Cage.

"OK, you all need to explain what just happened." says Momoko. After a quick info-dump, she looks to her feet at kicks at the floor.

"...Thanks for saving me." she says softly. "Most people would've just left me here. God knows I've never done anything to make me worth saving."

>"Don't talk like that."

"You're not bad like you think you," you say. "Besides, nobody deserves what happens in this place."

Momoko smiles at you. "Thanks." After a moment, her face becomes serious. "I wanna pay you guys back for saving me...since I've got this 'Persona' thing you guys have, I might as well join you guys."

"Great!" says Hiroji. "Though we're short on weapons..."

"Actually, I've found some more." says Yolanda. "In that game room, I found a locker that had some weapons in it." On the way back, you stop by the locker Yolanda found and open it to find a scoped rifle with a strap to sling over the owner's back, and a sheathed katana. Hiroji's eyes bulge. "A sniper rifle? What the fuck would a Yakuza outfit do with that?"

"I think it's best not to think to deeply about that..." you say cautiously. "Sweet, I'll take those." says Momoko. She puts the gun on her back and clips the sheath to her hip. "Now what?" she asks.

"We should get you out of here." says Yolanda. "Follow us."

You manage to get out of the City, passing through the mirror. However, when you emerge, Momoko isn't with you. "Oh shit." says Hiroji. "Where's Momoko?!"

>"Relax, that was Momoko's soul, not her whole body. She's probably fine."

>>1629785

"Relax, that was Momoko's soul, not her whole body." you say. You pause for a moment, thinking it over: you haven't actually rescued someone who wasn't nearby when their soul came back, Hiroji was in the same room as you when you came back. So if there was a complication caused by distance....better safe than sorry.

"...Maybe we should check the clinic."

You and Hiroji walk down to the clinic at the edge of town. After checking to see what room Momoko's in, you peek through the door to see Momoko in a hospital gown, trying to get a word in edgewise with her relieved parents.

"Looks like she's OK..." says Hiroji. "Looks like our first mission as a team was a success!" He looks happy for a moment, but then his smile fades.

"How long do you think we're gonna have to do this?" he asks. "I mean, you're only gonna be here temporarily. Plus, Momoko and I would have to leave if either of us went to college...I don't know what Yolanda's deal is but even if she stayed here she couldn't do this alone. Even if we got more people on our team, they wouldn't be able to save people forever..."

You grin. "The biggest party this town's ever seen," you promise.

Mr. Akamine is talking about important historical inventions. You feel like this is more the purview of history class, but you follow along anyway.

"Now, before we continue, let's see who's paying attention and who's spacing out. Shizuhara!"

You bolt to attention.

You politely return the bow. "Good to see you again, Masao-san." you say. "What's our practice for today?" you ask. Masao tightens the belt on his uniform. "Basic throws." he says. "First, the Uki Goshi, or the Floating Hip."

He strolls over to another club member, demonstrating the throw. "Alright, Ryoma-san, let's see you try it on me." he says after sending his demo partner sprawling.

With great dexterity and skill, you easily pull Masao up and forward, wrapping your other arm around his back. You quickly turn so your hip is touchingMasao's, pulling his arm and twisting him with your back and hip acting as a pivot before finally throwing him to the ground. The rest of the club applauds. Masao stands up and dusts himself off.

"Well done, Ryoma-san. You're an impressively fast learner. Let's practice the Ippon seoinage next..."

You do drill after drill, learning various throws and pins.

After you pack up various Ouija boards, incense sticks, mirrors, and other paraphernalia, you head to the Strange Shadow Hallway.

You see the cause almost immediately. You drop down on all fours and look at the shadows on the floor. "I think I know why the shadows here are weird..." you say. You pull out a marble from your pocket and put it on the floor, and it immediately starts rolling.

"A ghost is making the marble move!" shouts one of the club members. You sigh. "No, the floor's tilted in such a way that shadows only appear to be in a weird direction. If the floor were level, the shadows would look normal."

You stand up, dusting yourself off and look at Seki. "Final verdict: no paranormal activity," you report. "Just shoddy construction work."

Seki looks a bit disappointed. "Huh...I was hoping we'd see a specter or something today." she said.
