Back at home, go hang out with Nanako. A documentary about a guy searching for his family comes on the telly. This "real" family business confuses Nanako. Guys, she's just six OK, you have to explain things in ways she'll understand, so while the "right" answer is "related by blood" she's not gonna understand what you mean. Answer either "A person you love a lot" or "Always by your side." When she questions why Dojima is never home, ask her "Did he say that?" I guess it makes sense that a six-year old doesn't really understand what being dead means. Although it's her bedtime, choose either "Talk with her" or "Listen to her talk."

At home go ask Dojima about his missing newspaper article. He tells you that the case he was referring to, the one with no suspects, was indeed the hit-and-run of his wife, Chisato. He says he can't talk about it in this house, so tell him "Let's go outside." Man, this is depressing. Chisato got run over by a car on the way to pick Nanako up, and was just left there on the side of the road to die. I mean, who does that? Really? Jerkoffs. He says he'll never give up until he catches the guy, and that Nanako will understand why he has to give priority to catching Chisato's killer over everything else, even Nanako. Well I don't know about that, Dojima, at least not judging from Nanako's S. Link. ^<__<^;; Regardless, your next answer doesn't matter so choose whatever you feel like. He then sends you off to bed, but not before thanking you first.

After school go find Ai by the shoe lockers. None of your answers for this entire rank matter, so pick whatever you want. Ai wanders off somewhere, and your sports buddy shows up with some random dudes (Kou if you're S. Linking with him, and Daisuke if you're a Daisuke-er... yes, I make up verbs, you should see where I used mouse as a verb when I wrote a walkthrough for The Fade section of Dragon Age: Origins. I was an English minor in college, I can make up words if I wanna!). The random tagalongs start talking about Ai, and eventually the conversation turns towards speculation about where Ai really gets her cash from. ^<__<^;; Regardless of what you do, Kou/Daisuke isn't into this conversation at all and tells them off. The tagalongs run off, and Kou apologises for them, saying that they're usually not that bad. Daisuke, on the other hand, isn't so forgiving and offers to yell at them later. Kou/Daisuke then leaves as well, and... apparently Ai heard the whole thing from behind the shoe lockers. Again, answer whatever you want. She claims it doesn't bother her, but we can tell she is full of lies and bees. Regardless, she thanks you for sticking up for her (even if you totally didn't :op ) and then demands that you walk her home. At home, it's that time again! Experiments in cooking! Showing up all the girls who can't cook ever for reasons! Choose to cut a hole and look for juice to check if the meatballs have been cooked enough.

At home, your plentiful/rare combo has arrived. Go work at the hospital. As you're cleaning, you notice an old lady dressed all in black down the hall. She notices you and staaaaares. She then apologises and wanders off. O...K... Sayoko then shows up and drags you into an empty hospital room. Do we have a "please drag me" sign on us today? Tell her you're working there for the money. ... I wouldn't call you a "lady," per se but whatever floats your boat creepy-creep. She then asks you if you have a girlfriend. Answer "I do" or "Right in front of me." Yeahhhh... you're not fooling me, saying it was a joke. Tell her to stop it, and she says that that's what makes you irresistable.

As soon as school's over, go talk to Kou/Daisuke in the hallway and ask him about his taste in chicks. ... well, if you've been following Daisuke's S. Link you totally could've called that one. Both Kou and Daisuke say they'd like nice girls, whatever that means. Well, who cares what it means, she just wanted an answer, right? Not an essay. Head to the practise building and hang out with Kanji. He takes you to this tall hill. He asks if his mum told you anything about him. Answer "plenty," and he's totally fine with it, saying he's got nothing to hide from you. He then notices the kid off in the corner of your screen, the same one that Kanji's mum took to the hospital. Kanji goes over to investigate why the kid looks like someone ate his dog. The kid reveals that some female friend of his had lent him a bunny doll but some jerkoff kid called it girly, stomped on it, and made the kid throw it into the river. Now the kid is upset cause his friend is gonna be sad that the doll is gone. Kanji then decides to take action. Tell him you'll go with him to look for the doll. So off we go to the riverbank. Kanji's up to his waist in water. The kid wants to help, but Kanji tells us to keep the kid on the bank. Unfortunately, the floating/sinking sad bunny of doom is nowhere to be found. Kanji then decides he'll make the kid a new rabbit doll. Ask him if he's giving him a new one, and Kanji explains that he went through something similar when he was a kid and therefore understands how the kid feels. He then starts to feel sick from the cold river and heads home. Back at home, go study. Yes, it's the revenge of the double Knowledge reload mambo! So yeah, reload if you don't get two messages. Hey, the link to this page said The Return of Exam Week, don't blame me if you thought I was kidding. This should get you to r4 Knowledge tonight.

The answer to Captain Dickface's question is "inductive reasoning," for points towards Expression. ... you know, that's not what my textbooks say at all. Inductive reasoning is drawing general conclusions from specific examples, and deductive reasoning is using general observations to form specific hypotheses. *throws rocks at King Moron* Afterwards, go hang out with Yosuke. He takes you to the river. He explains that when he first got to Inaba, he hated it and thought he didn't belong here, and was too good for this place. He also hated that everyone kept saying that Junes was going to destroy the shopping district and blaming him for it. But despite all that, Saki told him that it had nothing to do with him, and she made him start to change his opinion of Inaba. None of your answers for this rank matter, so pick whatever you want. Yosuke still hasn't gotten over Saki's death and it's really tearing him apart inside. When she died, he didn't have a reason to be in Inaba anymore, and the mystery of the telly gave him a reason. He apologises, and realises if he stays on this course he won't ever change. Back at home work on your model some more and keep your glue away from my computer plzkthx.

At lunch, Ai comes up to you and asks if you asked Kou/Daisuke about his taste in girls. Yes, yes we did, chillax~ First we need to go show Cranky Desk Chick's dad the model we made, so go find him in the north side of the shopping district. He's sooo happy~~ See, Cranky Desk Girl? Your dad just wanted a reason to live, that's why he was making models and glueing them to your desk, now stop being a crankypants. Since you made the model for him he now realises that he can move on with his life and find something else to dedicate his life to. He then gives you another model set. Return to school and go tell Ai what you found out from your sports buddy. ... ow ow ow, stop doing that, srsly. She's not too happy about what you tell her. Dear Ai: Chicks can be hot as hell but if they're super-bitchy there comes a point where their bitchiness outweights their hotness. Please think about this. Much annoyance, Z. Well, she didn't like my letter, so now she's demanding that we go straight down there and ask Kou/Daisuke directly if he's got a crush on anyone specific. You stop Kou on his way to the bathroom... what, really, this can't wait until he's taken a piss? Really? Daisuke on the other hand is just wandering around aimlessly. You ask them if they're into anyone, and Daisuke is like, why you keep asking me these things -_-;; He's not interested in anyone (obviously, from his S. Link), so you ask him specifically about Ai. He's all like, pfffft hell no, and leaves. Kou, on the other hand, after being taken aback by your random questions of things that guys don't usually talk about finally blurts out that he's got a thing for... Chie!? Man-haired, flat-chested, bitchy obnoxious Chie?? Really? How in the name of cheesecakes and misery does Chie qualify as a "nice girl"? ^O__o^;; Well, whatever floats your boat, dude. ^@__@^;; He then curses you out for being "lucky" enough to sit next to her, then runs off before his bladder explodes. Suddenly, you sense someone behind you... She runs off back to the roof and you follow in hot pursuit. Wh... h-hey! Get down from there ^=__=^;; Just cause one guy you've been crushing on for barely even a week isn't interested in you is no reason to jump off a roof! Even if you did get beat out by Chie ^.__.^;; (well OK I'd be outraged too if someone picked her over me but not enough to toss myself off a roof over, sheesh). No matter what you say to her, she agrees to get down from there. Back in a safer spot on the roof, Ai opens up to you about her past. About how she used to be fat and poor and was bullied all the time. ... which begs the question of why she feels the need to treat others like that if she's been there herself but whatever. She says that when her family finally came into money everyone became jealous of them so her entire family moved out here, and she saw it as her big chance to start over and reinvent herself. But she still can't find love, and she claims she doesn't have any other redeeming qualities (which is totally true ^<__<^;; ). Your answer here doesn't matter so pick whichever. She bemoans the fact that she didn't fall in love with you instead. OK guys, here it comes. I said I'd tell you when you'd get the option to get into a romantic relationship with someone. BUT. I want to let you know that you can choose not to get into a relationship with her here and you'll still get a chance to get into a relationship with her in a later rank. Honestly, if this were a real-life situation, taking advantage of her vulnerable state right now and getting into a relationship with her would make you a horrible human being but this is a game so do whatever you want. I'm just letting you know that r6 is not your only chance to get into a relationship with Ai. All future S. Links with Ai will have information for both sides, including getting into a relationship with her now and also the one where you can get into one with her later so don't think I'm going to make you choose one or the other. Here's how this goes: When she says "Haha, just kidding..." you'll have two possible answers. Saying "I'll be your boyfriend" immediately gets you into a relationship with her, HOWEVER, if you choose "...." she will suggest that you two become a couple, after which if you reply "Sounds good" you will also immediately end up in a relationship with her. Again, you get another chance to be in a relationship with her in a later rank if you decide now's not the time to be putting the moves on a girl who just two seconds ago was going to throw herself off of a roof, so it's up to you what you want to do. I want to clarify that not getting into a relationship with her now is NOT a reversal, so there are no negative consequences to not getting into a relationship with her now (or ever, really). If you choose "Are you sure about that?" she agrees that right now is probably not the time to be trying to jump into another relationship. Regardless, rank up~ and she thanks you for being there for her and heads home. At home it's time for moAr cooking! Choose to deep fry the sweet potato.

Hello, little chicharra. Why are you in a cinematic? And what's with this giant shoe? Er... oh dear. Chie calls you the next morning telling you about the dead body found this morning and that everyone's meeting at Junes immediately. When you arrive, Chie informs you that Yosuke went to the scene to investigate. He then comes running up to you all and confirms that someone's been murdered and found under the same circumstances as the first two victims. To make things even more confusing, the victim wasn't Rise at all. It was King Moron. ... well, I don't know about you but I think this is a time for celebration. ^<__<^ But then again, I'm a horrible person. Well, regardless of how you feel over Captain Dickface being murdered, it still throws a big huge giant wrench into everything we thought we knew about the case. Regardless, you all decide to keep trying to solve the murders. Plus, we promised Teddie we'd figure out what was going on. Speaking of Teddie, everyone decides to go see if he sensed anyone else in the TV world after we rescued Rise. However, when we get to the electronics department some sales people are standing around having some sort of discussion. They ask Yosuke if he knows anything about the mascot that's been wandering about the store all morning. ... "Terry? Eddie?" Don't tell me... they mean... Teddie?! Teddie is, in fact, in the electronics department, trying out the massage chairs. ... well, I suppose since he's the one who makes the exits from the TV world it stands to reason that he can use them. Teddie... your body moving on its own is starting to become a THING and it's starting to worry me. And then Yukiko's like, oh right we had a reason to come find Teddie. He says that no one went in after we left with Rise. Plus, the Midnight Channel didn't show anything last night. Teddie gives zero fucks about dead King Moron and just wants to go visit Rise and give her a pair of glasses. He also states that he's going to join the party as a front-line fighter. ... Yukiko, what is your deal with the word "legend"... Back in the food court, Yosuke decides to ask Teddie for the fifty millionth time if anyone went over to the TV world after we rescued Rise. The general consensus is that King Moron was murdered in the real world, probably because they figured that throwing people into the telly didn't kill them anymore, since 3/5 of the previous victims are still safe and sound. Next stop is Rise's place to see if she remembers anything about the kidnapping. Um. Teddie? What are you do... er... what. You know what, I liked it better when he was just a giant talking plushie. ^<__<^;;

Head into town and stop by the Velvet Room. Grab the four Mitamas (Ara Mitama (Chariot), Kusi Mitama (Strength), Saki Mitama (Priestess), and Nigi Mitama (Temperance)) unless you're already carrying them. Fuse them in a Cross Spread to get Neko Shogun and make sure to give him Bufula. You might wanna give him Diarama too while you're at it but the only important one is Bufula (again, it has to be the specific skill she asks for. Just putting Bufu on there isn't gonna cut it). Uh... Marge? The hell is this? A pink cat with a violin? Why... why did you make us make this thing? ^@__@^;; Leave and re-enter for Marge to acknowledge her requested fat neko. ... what. No, Marge. No. It not having a long nose is not the reason why you wouldn't be able to defeat Igor with it. The REASON is because it has rubbish stats and ridiculous skills in relation to its rubbish stats. ^=__=^;; Crazyface. Anyway, her next quest requires us to be lv 38 so... we can't do it right now (unless you are lv 38 for reasons in which case you can do it now. Just find the next rank up for Marge later in this walkthrough and follow the instructions). Make sure you grab another Chariot, Priestess, and Strength Persona before leaving (we won't need Temperance again til after the next dungeon) then return to school and study in the library. Since it's raining you'll get two Knowledge messages for sure. At home cook some creme caramel and use vanilla extract for scent (NOT vanilla ice cream).

The answer to Yamada's question about melons is "No, it's not possible," for points towards Knowledge. After class, go into town and buy the new book on sale (Man of History), then go back to school and up to the roof. Talk to the awkward girl again and tell her to apologise. Hurray, we're done with her forever! Now go talk to Chie, who could probably do with a lesson on apologising for her mistakes herself. ^<__<^;; After training Chie takes you to Aiya, but before you can even get through the doors you hear shouting. Chie runs off to investigate. Hurray, Takeshi found the bullies! He's finally useful for something! Oh wait, nevermind, more like the bullies found him. Like a pussy, Takeshi hides behind Chie, tells her to take care of those bullies for him, and then runs off, leaving her to it. Jerk. *punts him into next week so he can join Hat Chick in the Douchey Losers Club* Regardless, Chie is super-eager to get her ass kicked by a bunch of dudes. No matter which you choose, you get between them and Chie and she's not that happy about it. Chie, we butted in exactly because we KNOW we can't leave ANYTHING up to you. Srsly. You always do this nonsense, like when you ran into Yukiko's Castle by yourself. ^=__=^ Even though it's totally a boatload of trouble, tell her it's no trouble because we are full of lies and bees. Oh hey, I finally agree with Chie on something. She's stupid! ^^ Once you get to your room Kou calls you to come study with him and Daisuke on Sunday. Agree to do so, then do the double Knowledge reload dance again.
