The path to the truth: Male Reader X Naoto

You're not me!

Author's Note: we've got about four chapters worth of Duels coming up.

The four of us approached the big screen in Junes. Yosuke has a golf club and a rope in hand.

"We really shouldn't do this, it's too dangerous!" Chie said

"I know, but we were able to come back once right? If we go in from the same location, maybe we'll meet that bear again." He said

"'Maybe' isn't good enough!" Chie said

"Look I can't just act like everyone else and pretend this has nothing to do with me." Yosuke said

"That's true, but-"

"What about you, could you just walk away?" He asked Yu.

"I express the feeling of concern towards Chie, there is no telling what will occur over in that location." Yu said.

"Yeah, it'll just be you and me." Yosuke said

"Oh no, you're not leaving me out of this. I'm coming too!" I said

"But, what about your injury?" Chie asked.

"The trick to dealing with the pain, is constant adrenaline from anger. The more I bottle up, the less pain I feel. I've got two years worth of suppressed anger." I said

"Look, don't worry about it, it's not like I'm going in there without a plan. Chie, I'm leaving you in charge of this." Yosuke said as he handed the rope to her.

"Huh? What's that? A rope?" She asked

"We'll go in with this tide to me, so I want you to hold on to this and wait here." Yosuke said

"W-what? Then this is a lifeline? C'mon, wait a sec.."

"Here Yu, this is for you, and these are for you." Yosuke said as he handed the club to Yu, and the Wrenches to me.

"I thought it might be better than going in empty handed. Alright, then let's go, there's no use in us wasting any more time ." Yosuke said

The three of us headed into the TV.

When we got through, we were in the same foggy area as before.

"Look, this is the same place as before! So they are connected from place to place!" Yosuke said.

"Y-you guys! Why did you come back!?" The bear said. "I get it! Your the ones behind this!"

"You're the thing from last time!" Yosuke said

"Really, we're the ones behind this. Care to make that accusation again?" I said as I walked closer to it, with an intimidating look.

"L-look! I meant that lately I've been noticing that someone's been throwing people in here! You guys just happen to be the ones who have come in here recently by your own will! It's making this world more and more messed up! You just happen to be the most suspicious!" He said

I picked him up and pulled him up close to my face.

"The bastard who threw the last person in here may be the one responsible for ruining my life. Choose your next words more carefully." I said

"H-hey! Take it easy! Without me you can't get back!" He said

"Not this time, we thought ahead! Yosuke said as he held up a the broken rope.

"You, had, ONE, JOB!" I shouted at Yosuke angrily.

"I'm sorry man! Hey you had better let us out of here once we're done investigating!" Yosuke said to the bear.
