The time has come for Okumura to confess his crimes! The Rhythm Rogues set themselves up to celebrate their latest success, but they still have no idea they’ve already been set up to fail.
Say hello to the next “Fefnir forgot to actually post the last update” double feature, in which we go on a mission to save Evelyn, then try to figure out what to do in the aftermath. I mean, technically we should be saving ourselves, but this is an open world game. The devs must have expected us to waste time.
It’s been a while, but Morgan is back in action! The fruits of her training haven’t brought her to Akuma’s level yet, but there’s a new DLC for us to play failing that. Months after the success of the Knock Out Festival, there’s another Knock Out Festival. Morgan will, of course, show off her strength and win this one as well. And wouldn’t you know it, there’s another King of Fighters character to meet this time.
Geo’s been on the tour of his school, but is he truly ready to return? Well, now that he’s had more life experience, it isn’t such an easy ‘no’ anymore. And besides, it seems like most everyone has his best interests in mind, so it couldn’t hurt, right?
After Okumura’s death, the Rhythm Rogues’ name continues to be dragged through the mud. Mitsuki continues laying as low as she can, though with police investigating the school that proves difficult. And in the meantime, it seems like all of her friends are having a bad time.
Training with Mai goes pretty smoothly, mostly due to the numerous blueberry shakes Morgan’s been drinking. So we’ve got plenty to talk about and plenty of moves to learn without extraneous grinding.
Geo’s first day of school went pretty well, so the next one should go pretty well, right? Provided nothing terrible happened that would put someone in a state of desperation that would attract an alien, anyway. And besides, Lyra was pretty cool, so maybe some of these aliens aren’t even that bad.
Thanks to Makoto’s position in the school, she and the rest of the crew are in charge of the school festival. Most of the students are clamoring for Goro Akechi to visit as the guest of honor, and oddly enough that may actually be favorable to the Phantom Thieves. As one of the only voices not calling for their heads, the teenage detective may be their best opportunity at getting information before the cops crack down on their Meatverse adventures.
Our training time with Mai is nearing its end. But before we’re done, we’ll be fighting a metric ton of ninjas! It has nothing to do with the Shiranui style, but it works as well as any other form of training!
Mr. Shepar and the rest of the students are on the line as Geo pursues Libra. He’ll have to think fast as well, considering how many quiz questions are lined up to kill him.
The Rhythm Rogues have begun to realize just how badly they were played. Maybe not from the beginning, but certainly from Medjet onward. Whoever’s working behind the scenes is tricky indeed, and if they want to come out on top, they might need to accept Akechi’s help after all.
… plus, he does have that blackmail. Can’t ignore that.
