[i]As they chatted, another limousine appeared. This time, it was the Vermillion limousine.[/i]

Auror: Vivi, the car arrived.

Veronica: Aww...
???: Auror, you're coming home as well, son.

[i]A butler came and opened a door. Soon, a tall and scary-looking man came out.[/i]

Marina: Hmmm? Who is that?
[img]https://i.imgur.com/M1d5nMl.png[/img]
Auror: Dad?!

Kaito: Whoa, he looks tough.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/mXb8CVK.png[/img]
Masaru: So that's their father, huh... I admit, I never thought I'd meet him up close.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/GUWaf6S.png[/img]
Veronica: Daddy!!

[i]Veronica ran and jumped at her father, hugging him tightly while smiling. Auror, however, wasn't content with his appearance.[/i]

[img]https://i.imgur.com/ATGUitS.png[/img]
Auror: Dad, I have some business to take care before going home. Can't this wait for a later while?
[img]https://i.imgur.com/1T7TilV.png[/img]
Magnus: It can't. We need to talk right now, Auror.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/lXYN8dy.png[/img]
Veronica: Daddy?
[img]https://i.imgur.com/q8IQgEi.png[/img]
Magnus: Don't worry, Vivi. I'd need to talk alone with Auror so you can go on the front seat with the driver.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/FkIKlzW.png[/img]
Veronica: OK. See you all tomorrow!
[img]https://i.imgur.com/QZND1Zn.png[/img]
Auror: (I better send Maki a text when we're in the car. She'll be pissed off, though...)

[i]Both Auror and Veronica waved back at their friends as they got in the car. She went into the front row as Auror and Magnus went in the back. The car left.[/i]

[img]https://i.imgur.com/52UX4We.png[/img]
Xaizor: Well, I guess we should get going as well. C'mon Marina, let's head back.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/4CNGJSh.png[/img]
Marina: Goodbye everyone.

[i]Both outsiders left to the Hakurei Shrine.[/i]

[img]https://i.imgur.com/DzNjiXy.png[/img]
Kaito: Alright, let's head back home.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/3jccryV.png[/img]
Lucent: O-OK...
[img]https://i.imgur.com/txOEg2x.png[/img]
Masaru: Do you mind if I went with you? I'd like to visit the orphanage and see how it is on the inside.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/7BCyHE8.png[/img]
Kaito: We don't mind. The kids like visits. They'll pester you a lot, though.

[i]As Veronica listened to music while chatting with the driver, Auror and Magnus began to talk.[/i]

[b][i]BGM: [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pS5soRsrKQ]Who's There? (Persona 4)[/url][/i][/b]

Auror: So what's this about, Dad? I was going on a hunt with Maki today, like usual.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/T5fn2Bd.png[/img]
Magnus: Auror, it's about your work we have to talk right now.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/RclEVRN.png[/img]
Auror: I haven't failed up until now, for as long as I know.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/PdUqDZw.png[/img]
Magnus: It isn't about failures, it's about integrity. Auror, I have been considering and I think you need to step out of it for a while. Rumors about the Blue Reaper, the deadly vigilante, are already spreading.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/I31LhXC.png[/img]
Auror: And? I don't see the point.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/eTJ3nld.png[/img]
Magnus: You're walking into grounds too dangerous. You're risking your life for nothing.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/zZURtMk.png[/img]
Auror: Isn't it a bit late for you to be worried, Dad? Also, if I'm gone, who's going to clean the town?
[img]https://i.imgur.com/CNJ41c1.png[/img]
Magnus: ...
[img]https://i.imgur.com/otQYiPp.png[/img]
Auror: It's natural for a father to worry about his son, but don't worry. I won't let myself get discovered.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/53JEiSv.png[/img]
Magnus: Unfortunately, I cannot risk it. Auror, I want you to back off from your assassination missions for a while. This is an order.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/Kw5zURb.png[/img]
Auror: ...
[img]https://i.imgur.com/T5fn2Bd.png[/img]
Magnus: The clouds are still too spread. Let this whole endeavor of yesterday cool down and I'll send you once again.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/mbOBZ0E.png[/img]
Auror: Live a normal life until I'm safe again, huh? Fine. There's a problem, though.
Magnus: Is it about Harukawa?
[img]https://i.imgur.com/QZND1Zn.png[/img]
Auror: Maki needs the money to keep the orphanage alive. While I suppose no one suspects the money, she'll still be needing it.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/q8IQgEi.png[/img]
Magnus: The donations will keep going. The difference is that I'll make them directly. I'll be glad to help the children in yours and her place.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/M1d5nMl.png[/img]
Auror: Dad...
[img]https://i.imgur.com/1T7TilV.png[/img]
Magnus: Enough, Auror. Let's go home.

[i]The car kept going as Auror sent Maki a text, telling her the hunt of today was called off by Magnus. He still looked at his dad, still unable to believe in what he heard.[/i]

[img]https://i.imgur.com/RclEVRN.png[/img]
Auror: (You living beings can't understand, do you? Tools like me and Maki aren't supposed to live "normal" lives. Isn't that why you adopted me, Dad?)
[img]https://i.imgur.com/Kw5zURb.png[/img]
Auror: (... Veronica is your legitimate daughter, not me.)
