File 14 - Request for Time Off

[truthinfortune]

It's been brought to my attention that there's been a family emergency back at the estate, and I need to leave Inaba right away. There was an accident and Grampa was injured. He appears to be in stable condition, but I want to be there by his side when he wakes up.

I'm requesting an official leave of absence for the next two days. I know that this

What? Oh no, I hope he's all right...

[truthinfortune]

He's fine, for now. He was thrown from his horse, and suffered a mild concussion. The family physician is there looking after him right now.

Rise-chan... There's something I need to tell you, but try not to be alarmed, all right?

[satellite_idol]

Wish him 'get well soon' from me, okay?

[ locked ]

You do? Is it something bad?

[truthinfortune]

I will. Thank you.

[Locked]

Yes.

I have reason to believe that you will be the next target.

[akihiko_sanada]

Oh man, I hope your granddad is okay...

[truthinfortune]

Thank you, Akihiko-san.

He's not in the best physical health, so his recovery time may be longer than normal. That's why I've requested two days off. As soon as I'm sure he's all right, I'll return to work immediately.

[akihiko_sanada]

Is he pretty old? I'm sure you'll take great care of him, but you're pretty dedicated, Naoto-kun. I hope you don't neglect your family because of the case...

[truthinfortune]

Yes. He's seventy-two years old. And... I can't neglect my family. Family is... the most important thing in the world.

I'm just worried about Rise-chan. I want to look out for her, but I have to leave and go stay with Grampa. If only I could be in two places at once...

[clockmaster]

Is he going to be alright?

[truthinfortune]

I think so. He fell from his horse and suffered a mild concussion. Yakushiji-san called the family physician right away. He's still unconscious, it seems.

Grampa isn't in the best physical shape, so his recovery time could be longer than normal...

[clockmaster]

I can ask Akako for a healing potion, if you don't want to explain to him what is it you can tell him that it's some kind of natural remedy.

[truthinfortune]

Would you? I could even slip some into his tea, once he awakens, that is.

I don't really want to leave Inaba, especially since the media is up in arms over Rise-chan's arrival... but Grampa needs me right now.

[truthinfortune]

He was thrown from his horse and suffered a mild concussion. Yakushiji-san called the family physician right away. He's unconscious, but stable.

This is the worst possible time for something like this to happen...

[truthinfortune]

Thank you. Hakuba has offered to send me a healing potion. So, even though Grampa isn't in the best of health, maybe this potion well aid in speeding his recovery.

Still, this is a rather inconvenient time for an emergency. But one can never anticipate these sort of catastrophes.

[det_goofball]

Oh, heck! Don't worry, Naoto-kun, I'm sure it'll be fine if you take a little time off for that. We've got things sorted here. You can't let work come between you and your family.

[truthinfortune]

Thank you, Adachi-san. I've already filled out the necessary paperwork, so everything should be in order.

[Locked]

Make sure you keep a security detail on Rise-chan while I'm gone. I have reason to believe that she may be the next target.

[det_goofball]

All right. Here's hoping he gets better quickly.

[Locked]

Hey, that goes without saying, right? You think she fits the pattern of... well, there isn't that much of a pattern to start with, is there?

[truthinfortune]

Hakuba has offered to send me a healing potion, so once Grampa regains consciousness, I'll see if he can take some in his tea. It could certainly help.

[Locked]

Yes. The pattern being that she appeared on television recently, and now everyone is talking about her. In fact, it seems that everyone is more interested in Rise-chan's arrival than the heist at the museum... Funny how fast people lose interest in "old news."
