Hm.

[HOW TO EXPLAIN]

When I first heard my Persona and when I first called him, my outfit was changed. I suppose it is because it reflects my true self.

[kitsune tho, he has no idea why]

[messianic]

[Kitsune.....]

It's very...

[Hm...]

It's very traditional, but it reminds me more, I think, of wisdom. That's what kitsune represent, right? [The good ones, anyway.]

[bufudyne]

Yes.

[He seems a little surprised...

ARE YOU CALLING HIM WISE, MINATO]

That is even how they become more powerful. The older and wiser, the more tails and thus the more strength one possesses.

[messianic]

[YES...]

Hm... it makes sense to me that that would represent you in some way. After all... you were the one who reminded me that it's important to look at things in new ways whenever I get the chance.

[A firm nod.]

That seems pretty wise to me.

[bufudyne]

[WHAT... WHAT A LOVELY COMPLIMENT!!]

I... thank you very much.

That is very flattering to hear. [He even ducks his head a little, grateful for his mask but not because he's blushing or anything (it was such a nice thing for Minato to say).]

[messianic]

[Look, it's just him puzzling over the kitsune outfit, it's fine!! He means it... but either way--]

That's just how I would interpret it, I guess.

Does that mean I should call you Fox while you're in this outfit?

[bufudyne]

Preferably, yes.

[He nods... It's not as big of a deal here, but he's also accustomed to being called Fox when he looks like this.

And who knows, maybe one day it will be important for his identity not to be known.]

[messianic]

Okay. [Easy peasy!]

I can do that. I'll do my best to remember, especially when we're around other people.

[For maximum sneaky phantom thievery.]

[bufudyne]

Thank you.

[And he raises his hand and off with the mask and his costume kind of just like evaporates and such. Now... he looks toward what remains of the jorogumo.]

...I just realised, I suppose we've fulfilled the conditions of that quest.

[And yet, he sounds disappointed.]

[messianic]

[... Yeah. They sure did. And he sure does...??]

Is that...bad?

[bufudyne]

No... not bad. Fulfilling these is good, but.

[STARES SADLY]

I wished to get a sketch of it before the point of fighting it. I suppose I have no-one but myself to blame, I was unsuccessful at sneaking up on one.

[messianic]

[...... oh.

Is that... is that how it is...]

... You're not going to come back out here to try again, are you?

[bufudyne]

[Yusuke looks... a bit too thoughtful.]

Perhaps... [But then he shakes his head.] No, I don't think so, actually. It would seem the danger outweighs the benefits in this case.

What's more, what glimpse I got of it before we defeated it was rather grotesque. While it's important to draw all facets of creatures, I think I wouldn't like to look at it for a long time...

[messianic]

...That's probably for the better. Next time we have to fight some sort of monster, I'll try to make sure you have the time to sketch it, Kitagawa-san.

[Someone stop Minato, is he even being serious...]

[bufudyne]

You would do that?

[DON'T SAY YOU'RE NOT SERIOUS MINATO look how excited he suddenly is.]

[messianic]

[... He made a mistake.]

I...

[Better than Yusuke trying to do this alone, though, right...?]

...Yeah, so long as you don't go out alone to try to fight monsters again.

[bufudyne]

So that is the caveat, is it?

[But he smiles after a moment. He's happy, good job, he's got backup for when he wants to draw a weird thing in the woods.]

All right. I will be sure not to go alone.

[messianic]

[And, sincerely:]

Yes. I don't want you to get hurt coming out here alone.

[So he will come along, and all is well. He's grateful for the acceptance, at least.]

Thank you, Kitagawa-san.

[bufudyne]

[...He's kind to worry. Yusuke recognises that, wants to respect it.]

There is no need to thank me.

[But, he gestures with one hand.]

Shall we head back to the town?

[messianic]

Yes, let's. I think we managed pretty well this time.

[AND THEN THEY GALLIVANTED BACK TO TOWN so we can set up new quests for June, hell yeah.]
