[Go to Yumezaki and choose
to go to GOLD. There will be a dialogue similar to the dialogue for entering
SMILE Hirasaka. The choices are also the same.]
[GOLD]
EIKICHI: All we said was
that we wanted to go inside for a bit, but we have to be invited in individually?
Isn't security just a little too tight here?
YUKINO: No kidding. We're
really lucky that Maya-san's roommate is a member of the club.
RECEPTIONIST: I'm sorry
to keep you waiting. Ulala Serizawa has invited you, correct? Please go
on inside.
MAYA: It looks like Ulala's
here. We need to stop by the boxing gym and tell her to evacuate.
[BOXING GYM]
???: Ciao, Ma-ya! How come
you've got a bunch of high school kids with you? Doesn't seem like you're
here for the boxing...
(Ulala
Serizawa: Maya's good friend who works for a womens' lingerie company.
She is a spirited cosmetic fiend who likes to help other people. She worries
about her bad luck with men.)
MAYA: Well, you see...
ULALA: Huh? Stop talking
nonsense. There aren't bombs here.
MAYA: I guess there's nothing
I can do if you don't believe me, but I'm telling the truth! There's no
time to waste, so hurry and run away!
[Ulala goes back to punching;
the bag breaks and something falls out. Eikichi approaches it.]
EIKICHI: Seriously?
EIKICHI: Hm? What's this?
LISA: Aiya! That's
one of the ignition devices for the bombs, isn't it?
ULALA: So it's really true
that there are explosives set up here? Ma-ya, explain things one more time!
MAYA: Look, I said that
we don't have any time! To put it bluntly, the ones who set this up are
an organization called The Masquerade!
ULALA: The Masquerade?
ULALA: All I know about
that organization is the name. Makimura talked about it a lot. Is he planning
to kill me this time?!
ULALA: It seems that the
time has come for these well-trained fists to to be put to use...he stole
the money that I had worked so hard to save, but I'm not gonna let him
have my life as well!
MAYA: She ran off. Well,
at least she’s gone.
MAYA: For the time being,
now that we know this is the next target, we can't waste a second. Let's
get our butts moving and search for the transmitter!
Talk to party members, if
you like:
EIKICHI: I can't compete
with that babe's power. I thought that the only reason a lady would be
boxing was for diet purposes, but she's serious about it.
LISA: I wonder if there's
a Jeet Kune Do class here? Did you know, Tatsuya? Jeet Kune Do is the first
invented martial arts method! [1]
MAYA: Whenever anyone talks
about that guy, she completely flies off the handle! But can you blame
her? He was a marriage con artist!
YUKINO: That was a great
punch she had... after this is all said and done, I'd definitely like to
spar with her at least once.
[1] Jeet
Kune Do was invented by Bruce Lee. Lisa is a GIANT Bruce Lee fangirl.
[Start to leave the gym.
A staff member will stop you.]
GOLD STAFF: Wait a minute!
GOLD STAFF: Is it true that
this fitness club is set up to explode?
GOLD STAFF: So this club
too has been designated as a target of the terrorist bombers...I just can't
take this anymore! I've got to get everyone to evacuate this place!
[Equipment Room on the
first floor]
TATSUYA: !
[He shoves Maya out of the
way just before a barbell falls from the ceiling.]
MAYA: A barbell? They're
really not kidding... if this fell on someone, they'd probably get killed!
MAYA: Thanks, Tatsuya-kun!
I'm really grateful.
[Trainer Room, second
floor]
[Talk to Lisa; the locker
door blows off.]
LISA: Keh he! This
is really pissing me off! I'm never gonna forgive those Masquerade bastards!
I'll kick their asses with my fatal Vacuum Quick-Drop Kick!
[Equipment Room, second
floor]
TATSUYA: !
[A weight machine drops
from the ceiling. Eikichi catches it, then falls down, swirly-eyed, but
gets back up.]
EIKICHI: Ow... Suou, when
this happened to Maya-nee, you saved her, so how come you didn't save me?
[If you talk to Lisa, she
finds a pair of bikini underwear and speculates about Tatsuya wearing them.
She doesn't like the thought of that.]
[Men's Staff Room, third
floor]
[The party enters, opens
a locker, and finds the transmitter alongside the Oracle.]
MAYA: You found it? Wow!
Nice job, Tatsuya-kun! Okay, now let's hurry up and break it!
[Tatsuya breaks it with
his sword. As soon as this happens, a man in a tan shirt comes in, sees
the party, and runs away.]
LISA: Who was that?
YUKINO: Most likely a civilian
who hadn’t evacuated, and he saw us and ran away because he didn't want
us to know.
EIKICHI: Yeah, but there's
also a big possibility that he's one of the Masquerade's assassins assigned
to keep an eye on that transmitter! Let's follow him, Suou!
[Boxing Gym]
EIKICHI: Here he is! Why
did you run away when you saw us, you dumbass! Are you in the Masquerade?
GOOD-LOOKING MAN: Run away?
Please, don't misunderstand me. All I did was lead you to a place where
we could talk.
YUKINO: Well, isn't that
nice. If you willingly answer all of our questions, then we'll be able
to finish things quickly.
GOOD-LOOKING MAN: That's
too bad, courageous girl. I wish I could have met you under different circumstances.
Unfortunately, this is also the work of Fate.
GOOD-LOOKING MAN: This is
an order from the Queen: All of you, die!
[The man begins to summon
a Persona. Ulala enters the room. He looks surprised and stops.]
MAYA: Ulala! You didn't
run away?
GOOD-LOOKING MAN: H-honey?
I… I missed you! Not a single day has passed where I’ve forgotten about
you!
ULALA: Now that I've found
you here, this is the end! I'm gonna make you realize just how much I hate
you for running off with my marriage savings!
[Ulala also begins summoning
a Persona and chases the man out of the gym.]
MAYA: So Ulala is a Persona
user! I had no idea...
EIKICHI: Persistent women
sure are scary... a beautiful boy like myself might have also made some
girl somewhere cry...
EIKICHI: You and I had both
better be careful, Suou.
[Everyone giggles at him.]
YUKINO: Okay, Suou. What
kind of Oracle is written on the card this time?
LISA: "I'm waiting at the
Air Museum in Konan. --King Leo"
LISA: This isn't the Oracle!
The name of the next target is written on here!
YUKINO: I've got a bad feeling
about this--it's that King Leo guy. Do you think this is a trap?
MAYA: Even if it is a trap,
there's no mistake about the location. It looks like they intend to have
a final showdown...
MAYA: I can't be scared
any longer... I won't run away. Let's go, everyone!
[Anima Mundi]
LISA: You know how that
King guy wears a mask? I bet he does that 'cause he's ugly! He's trying
to hide his face.
EIKICHI: Ginko is right,
you know. Traditionally, villains are always ugly. Well, so is everybody,
compared to me.
MAYA: I'm not sure why,
but I feel like I know King's real face. I just can't remember...I feel
like we've met before.
YUKINO: Who cares what he
looks like? We're gonna kick his ass! He's the worst kind of guy there
is!
[Yumesaki Satomi Tadashi]
YUKINO: The game is nearing
a close, since King Leo didn't give us a piece of the Oracle this time
around. He's getting serious. We should be careful.
MAYA: King Leo's not going
to leave us alone. You've already seen the burn on my hand. I'm sure he's
aiming for us... yeah, I'm still scared. When I see those flames, my body
freezes. Heh. I'm pathetic.
LISA: I hope Maya-san's
okay... but she's got us! So long as we're together, we'll make it through.
EIKICHI: For Ginko to say
something like that... Hell must’ve frozen over... no, the sky’s falling
or something.
[Velvet Room]
MAYA: Don't tell me you
were worried, too, Tatsuya-kun! I'm fine now! I'm not so weak as to give
up over such a small thing.
LISA: King Leo's definitely
going to use those flames again... will Maya-san be okay?
EIKICHI: Maya-nee, I think
she's forcing herself... okay, then! I'll become a knight in shining in
armor to defend the lady! Only we can protect Maya-nee.
YUKINO: Heh heh, it's funny.
You guys are acting just like my friends from high school. I feel like
I've gone back in time.
[Mu Continent]
MAYA: For some reason, I'm
great at these games! I never understand the rules, but I end up winning
anyway.
YUKINO: This is just between
you and me, but Maya-san sucks at rock-paper-scissors. She always uses
'scissors.' You should try it sometime.
LISA: Say, Tatsuya. How
about we spread the rumor about this being a casino? It'd be fun!
EIKICHI: Gambling is strictly
prohibited at my school. It's a part of school regulation, of course, but
I lay down the law. School's not a place to play with money.
[Time Castle]
LISA: Look, Tatsuya. That
lady is acting weird.
MASQUERADE MEMBER: Joker-sama
gave me fortune! He granted me my dreams! I became happy! So why do I feel
so sad? Ah... it's strange... I feel as though there's a hole in my chest.
I'll destroy this store!
EIKICHI: What good will
that do? You forgot about your own son, Takeshi! But he did it to make
you rich... Joker, you're too cruel.
YUKINO: That woman is a
member of the Masquerade? So that's why she was so influenced by the city's
rumors...
MAYA: Eikichi-kun must be
suffering...he can't bear to think of Takeshi. That boy couldn't have wished
for things to turn out this way....
[Rosa Candida]
LISA: Asacchi and Miipo
used to come here all the time. They'd go through the clothing together,
saying that this was cute or that was pretty....
EIKICHI: Um... say, Suou,
go talk to Ginko. You’ll cheer her up. She seems depressed.
MAYA: Those two girls seem
to have come here often; when Ginko entered the store she suddenly became
upset.
YUKINO: Looks like Rengendai
won't be targeted. That's one good thing--no! I won't let him burn anything
more! I'll stop it all!
[Rengedai Satomi Tadashi]
LISA: I wish there was some
medicine that'd cure the Shadow People. If there were, I could save Asacchi
and Miipo...
EIKICHI: What's Ginko going
on about? I don't believe it. I'll save them.
MAYA: Let's see... it says
if you drink this, you'll become a hundred times more energetic. Refresh...
Satomin Z? Oh, this one is the extra strength version? These days people
can't live without medicine... don't you think that’s kinda sad?
YOUNG MAN: These arsonists
are indiscriminate, aren't they? That means that this might be their next
target... Urgh. I'm so worried that my stomach hurts... I should be strong,
but I'm scared...
YUKINO: It's like he said--it's
indiscriminate bombing! This is just King Leo's games!
[Silverman House]
LISA’S DAD: There are so
many explanations for who the terrorists are, but it's all nonsense. There's
no chance that they're the Last Battalion!
YUKINO: The Last Battalion?
Weren't they Hitler's elite forces?
MAYA: Last Battalion? Come
to think of it, that Sevens teacher called us that, at the outdoor concert...
LISA: If even Dad knows
about it, it's a well-spread rumor. Does anybody not believe in it?
EIKICHI: Now they're talking
about the Last Battalion. When people panic, they forget all sense and
reason.
[Araya Shrine]
LISA: There was a fire here
ten years ago... Tatsuya, I'm scared. I don't wanna be here.
MAYA: I... feel as though
I made a wish here, long ago. And someone granted it to me, just like that…
yes, I met someone here... someone important...
EIKICHI: Hahaha... this
is too weird. That granny is the same one that appears in my dreams...
what's wrong with me?
YUKINO: Whenever we come
here everyone gets depressed--you get quiet and thoughtful. What happened?
OLD LADY: I was surprised;
why does that blue boy know my name?
[Hirasaka City Map]
YOUTH: How do I put this--I
saw this girl in a strange getup run out of SMILE Hirasaka, yelling something
like, "I won't forget this!"
[Sumaru Prison]
LISA: Tatsuya! Is there
nothing we can do? Just looking at them hurts...
Shogo: ...
Ken: ...
Takeshi: ...
EIKICHI: Suou... you see
it, too, don't you. They're getting darker and darker... they don't even
talk anymore. It's hopeless; there's nothing I can do.
MAYA: Eikichi-kun, snap
out of it! They're here and they're still alive! Even silent, they still
live! Don't give up just because of one tiny set-back! So long as there's
a chance, you can't give up. You're the only one who can help!
YUKINO: This is the form
of the people who've lost their ability to dream... people like that--how
do they go on?
[Toa Armory]
MASQUERADE MEMBER: The SMILE
Hirasaka building was spared, but the terrorists won't stop until everyone
in town is dead. I wonder what next will burn down? Heh heh heh…
LISA: Aiya...they
all turned out to be Masquerade members.
YUKINO: Geez, just listen
to them! What if they had been caught in the fire? Would they still be
smiling?
EIKICHI: Everyone keeps
going on about how the Masquerade is evil, so of course it turned out that
way. This rumor business sucks.
MAYA: There are a lot people
in the Masquerade, right? But we can't think of everyone in the city as
being criminals. I'm not so much scared of rumors becoming reality as of
the ease with which people make rumors... humans are like that.
[Tominaga Chiropractic]
LISA: I'm glad SMILE Hirasaka
didn't burn down. But I'm getting scared... I mean, there were still people
in there! If we hadn't stopped them, people might have died! King Leo is
insane, absolutely crazy!
YUKINO: I want to know more
about this Oracle. Is there some reason why he's following it? Well, no
matter what it is, it's crazy.
MAYA: He was like that at
the outdoor concert. King Leo has his timetable, and everybody else be
damned. He just listens to the voices in his head, following the Oracle
without question... he's far more dangerous than the Joker.
EIKICHI: If what Maya-nee
is saying is true, then that means King Leo thinks the Oracle is more important
than human lives. Fuck that!
OLD MAN HEALED BY CHIROPRACTICS:
Masquerade, huh. As a kid I used to put on a mask and play in the shrine
and mountain... I used to pretend to be the bad guys. It brings back memories.
[Gatten Sushi]
EIKICHI: First the Masquerade,
now the group of five terrorists... geez, everyone is happily whipping
up rumors.
MAYA: No matter what they
say, King Leo is the culprit. If we defeat him, then all the other rumors
will fade.
LISA: Why are the people
in the city making up rumors about the criminals? They'll just get more
anxious. I'm shocked.
YUKINO: It can't be helped--they're
spreading all these rumors out of fear. But I think Lisa's right, too.
[Kuzunoha]
TAMAKI: Hey, have you heard
about the Last Battalion? There are rumors about them being the terrorists
behind the attacks.
TADASHI: The ones who tried
to take down SMILE Hirasaka were a group of five terrorists, I'm sure of
it! They're the ones behind all this!
EIKICHI: Ixquic, was it?
What's a runt like that doing in the Masquerade? She felt like a really
young kid.
LISA: But she had her own
set of lower-level demons and a Persona--would that indicate she's an Executive?
MAYA: I got the feeling
that girl was misled. She's not a bad kid, I'm sure of it.
[Kismet]
EIKICHI: Is it just me,
or are the city's rumors running more and more amuck? They're saying that
it's a group of five young terrorists.
LISA: There are rumors about
the Last Battalion, too--at this rate, the people are just going to get
even more upset.
MAYA: Because people are
worried, they come up with explanations for the attacks, and by coming
up with explanations, they get even more upset. It's a vicious cycle.
YUKINO: Suou, will you talk
to Fujii for me? Try to convince him not to go on the photo shoot.
FUJII: Yukki put you up
to this, huh. I'm going to the mountains soon for a photo shoot, but no
matter what I say, Yukki's still worried. Even if the terrorists haven't
been caught yet, I doubt that they're going to burn a mountain down. Well,
if they're looking for natural beauty, then that's another story.
[Konan Map]
KATSUYA: For crying out
loud, nothing at all has changed from the past. The world goes into chaos,
and all sorts of ridiculous rumors are spread. What's up with this Last
Battalion?
KATSUYA: It's obvious the
criminals witnessed at the scene were a group of five terrorists. Don't
be fooled by such idiotic rumors.
[The woman to the south of
Katsuya near the mall who used to be known as the Sad Woman is now referred
to as the Woman In Love.]
WOMAN IN LOVE: That detective...
I wonder what his name is... ah, those glasses look so good on him, too...
and he's got that sharp gaze...
WOMAN IN LOVE: Oh ho ho...
when he looked at me, it seemed serious. Hey, you don't happen to know
his name?
[Lunar Palace]
MAYA: I can't believe it!
Since when has Ulala used Persona? She chased after him... is she okay?
EIKICHI: That Ulala-san...
she's more violent than I expected. I guess it ain't true what they say
about names matching the person. [2]
LISA: Now that I've met
Ulala-san, I've gotta say that Maya-san's friends are weird.
YUKINO: What's that supposed
to mean? Does she mean me, too?
[2] "Ulala"
means "beautiful" and "lovely," so Eikichi is saying that she's violent
despite her name's meaning.
[Jolly Roger's]
MAYA: The Air Museum was
only recently constructed. At first people complained, saying that it didn't
fit the region's atmosphere, but now it has a lot of customers. Oh, no.
Today's a weekday, right? I've got a bad feeling about this…
LISA: The Air Museum...
Asacchi, Miipo, and I promised to all go together...
YUKINO: The blimp's gonna
take flight? Even kids have their dreams. It almost makes me jealous. |
