Barry: I need the limited-edition Mamorin charm! If I don't get this one, I won't have them all! I can't concentrate on your lesson like this! You gotta lemme go! Please lemme goooooo!

Tsubasa: Hrgh... Like I keep telling you, that would be a problem... Oh, Itsuki! Um, B-Barry is being unreasonable!

Itsuki: What in the world's going on here? And, what's a Mamorin charm?

Barry: A Mamorin charm's a charm of Mamorin! Do you not even get that!? But the L.E.'s already sold out... Retail stores are a barren wastelands too... This Goodman's a Sadman... HOWEVER! According to a fellow fan, it is known that there are still stocks of it left at the Hee Ho Mart in Shibuya! I can't just stand around here! ...Barry Goodman is off to Shibuya!

Tsubasa: He's been like this the whole lesson too... He says he can't concentrate unless I let him go buy this charm...

Itsuki: I see...

Barry: This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance! Please let me go! Pleeeaaase!

The player is given two options on how to respond:

Itsuki: Why don't I go for you?

Tsubasa: Itsuki...

Itsuki: I'll do it if you give Tsubasa her proper lesson, Barry.

Barry: Excellent. Exactly as planned.

Itsuki: Planned?

Barry: N-Nothing! Ahem, really!? You'll seriously do that for me!? I thought you were a kid with no hope of getting ahead, but you're surprisingly considerate! Okay! This negotiation is complete!

Itsuki: Negotiation?

Barry: C'mon, Itsuki! Hurry up and get going! That charm is going to sell out if you keep wastin' your time here!

Tsubasa: I'm sorry that you have to do this because of me, Itsuki...

Itsuki: Don't worry about it. This is al Barry's fault anyway.

Itsuki: Excuse me. Do you have any Mamorin charms in stock?

Salesclerk: So sorry... That items' been flying off the shelves. We're all out...

Itsuki: Is there any other way that I can get it?

Salesclerk: It IS a limited-edition item... That may be a bit difficult...

Itsuki: That's a bummer...

Salesclerk: Hmmm... Well, since you're a regular, I could let you in on some insider info.

Itsuki: Hm?

Salesclerk: I can tell you about the person who bought the last one, but the rest is up to you. Oh, and keep this between us.

Itsuki: Yes, of course.

Salesclerk: All right. It'll be easier to explain this over Topic. I can send you the details there, so could I get your ID?

Itsuki exchanged TOpic IDs with the employee...

Salesclerk: Well then, please continue your patronage with Hee Ho Mart!

You receive an urgent Topic from the salesclerk as you exit.

Salesclerk: Hello, hello! Itsuki: Hi. Salesclerk: So, about the person who bought the Mamorin charm... Salesclerk: She was a woman with a great body in business attire and wore glasses... Salesclerk: But she nonchalantly came in midday to buy alcohol during a work week. I wonder what her job is. Salesclerk: That about sums up what I can tell you though. Itsuki: Thank you. Salesclerk: Good luck to you! Salesclerk:

Fortuna Ofice

Maiko: Why, hello, Itsuki. Is something on your mind? Do you need me for anything?

Itsuki: Ms. Maiko, did you recently buy a limited-edition Mamorin charm?

Maiko: Yes, I did. What about it?

Itsuki: I have a favor to ask. Would you please let me have it?

Maiko: Ah, about that... Actually, it's not for me. I bought it for Mamori because she asked me to.

Itsuki: She did?

Maiko: Yep. I don't have the charm anymore because I've already given it to her.

Itsuki: I see... Do you happen to know where she is now?

Maiko: No idea... But it may be difficult to convince her to part with it. She was reeeally happy about it, after all.

Itsuki: Well, I'll try asking anyway.

As you start heading out, you receive an urgent Topic from Barry:

Barry: HEY, ITSUKI! DID YOU BUY THE CHARM!? Barry: COME BACK TO BASE AND REPORT IN.

Tsubasa: Ah, Itsuki! *Sigh* I'm so sorry that you're doing this for my sake...

Barry: Hey, Ituski! The goods, man! Where are the goods!?

The screen turns blank for a second.

Barry: How can this be...? To think Mamori herself would have the last one... But... I can't ask her if I can have it...

Mamori's Voice: Uuuncle! Oh, Itsuki and Tsubasa are here too.

Tsubasa: Hi, Mamori.

Barry: Ah, Mamori!

Mamori: Just my luck. I was looking for you, Itsuki.

Itsuki: Hm?

Mamori: Here you go! I wanted to give you this.
