Devil Survivor - Day 6 Script
[Recall that Haru died, as did Keisuke.]
Atsuro: MC-kun! Over here, MC-kun!
Atsuro: Did you read the Laplace Mail today?
MC: > It said it was ending.
> It was really scrambled.*
Atsuro: Is that all you noticed!? Never mind that! It said the mail list was ending! It kept getting worse and worse, but I didn't think it would get discontinued... We've been deciding what to do each day based on the emails. What're we gonna do tomorrow?
Yuzu: Oh... Hey! Did you read the Laplace Mail? What're we gonna do tomorrow?
Atsuro: We were just talking about that, too.
Yuzu: ...Did you guys figure out what to do?
MC: > We believe in ourselves.*
> We're all dead tomorrow.
> ......
Yuzu: O-Okay... I'm still worried, though...
Atsuro: No matter what happens, if we don't lift the lockdown in two days, we're going to die. We have to find a way to stop that, no matter what.
Yuzu: Y-Yeah...
Atsuro: THen again... What should we do about it, though?
MC: > Become the King of Bel.
> Get rid of the demons.
> Control the demons.
> Break the lockdown.*
> Enough talk!
Atsuro: Yeah... It might come to that as a matter of last resort.
Atsuro: ...The angels behind the Self-Defence Force are gonna show up to stop us, for sure. Personally, I don't want to fight humans or angels if there's any way to avoid it...
MC: > Become the King of Bel.*
> Get rid of the demons.
> Control the demons.
> Break the lockdown.
> Enough talk!
Atsuro: ...! To do that, you... you're gonna have to become the demon king. Is that okay!?
Atsuro: Well... If you had that much power, getting out of this lockdown would be a snap.
Atsuro: ...
Atsuro: Should we go see what Naoya has to say?
MC: > Become the King of Bel.
> Get rid of the demons.*
> Control the demons.
> Break the lockdown.
> Enough talk!
Atsuro: Get rid of them, huh...? How can we get rid of them all in only two days?
MC: > Let's check the COMPs.
> Maybe Haru's sequencer?*
Atsuro: That's right...! We have something else besides the COMPs that we can look at! Haru's sequencer was able to summon demons, right!? Haru could summon demons with the sequencer Aya left her. If we compare how that works with the way the COMPs summon demons, we might learn a bit. Dan it... If Haru was still alive, we could find out more about it...
MC: > Become the King of Bel.
> Get rid of the demons.
> Control the demons.*
> Break the lockdown.
> Enough talk!
Atsuro: We still don't know where the server is. It's hard to say. Both Amane and Naoya sounded like they knew where the server is... If we make a detailed plan to control demons and tell them, they may help us to find it.
09:00 AM - Omotesando
[Gin]
Gin: ...What's the matter? Is there something you want from me?
MC: > It's about Haru.*
> Hello.
Gin: Oh... I see. What is it?
MC: > Where is Aya's sequencer?
> Haru could summon demons.*
Gin: ...She could? I never heard anything like that.
Yuzu: Yeah, Haru said that she could use the sequencer like a COMP to summon demons.
Gin: I see... I didn't even know that about her...
MC: > A song can summon demons.
> Aya's song is related.*
Gin: Aya's song...? Sorry, I don't think I know anything about it. Everything Haru was carrying was confiscated by the Self-Defense Force troops.
Gin: Sorry, but there's othing here. Nothing... [ D< ]
Atsuro: I'm... sorry for making you relive bad memories...
Gin: No, it's all right. It's no one's fault...
Gin: ...If you have nothing else to do with me, then I'm going to leave.
MC: > Thank you very much.*
Atsuro: Hm... What's wrong, MC-kun?
MC: > It said 0.
> Gin's in danger.*
Atsuro: He is...? Did you see his death clock!?
MC: > It was at zero.
> Gin's going to die today.
Atsuro: Why didn't you tell us earlier!? We have to hurry, MC-kun!
09:30 AM - Kanda
[Mari]
Mari: Um... Thank you for yesterday. It's been a while since I slept that well.
MC: > You're welcome.
> I don't blame you.
Mari: Hahaha... You did something good. There's no need to be embarassed about it. But, really, I might not have been able to defeat Kudlak without your help. Kresnik was very grateful, too. You're all strong, but you don't use the powers of your demons for evil. That's very admirable of you.
Mari: I want to do what I can, too... Let's do our best together!
MC: > Okay.
> Together?
Mari: Oh... I'm sorry. I completely jumped the gun, didn't I? I want you to let me join your group.
Atsuro: Miss Mari! You can't do that! It's way too dangerous!
Mari: That's rude, Atsuro. As long as we're inside the lockdown, it's dangerous everywhere. I'd rather fight alongside all of you than sit here.
Atsuro: Um... What should we do, MC-kun?
MC: > You really shouldn't.
> Think about it more.
Atsuro: Right, that makes sense.
Atsuro: Um... Take some time to make sure you mean it. If you don't change your mind, you can help.
Mari: ...Okay. I don't want to make you worry about me. I'll give it a little more thought. I'm sorry to call you over here when you're all so busy. You be careful too!
10:00 AM - Shiba Park
[Amane]
Atsuro: Argh, I'm so thirsty...
Yuzu: And I'm so sweaty...
Atsuro: Why don't we rest a little? I need to use a bathroom.
Yuzu: I vote for a break, too. I hope there's not a big crowd where the water is...
Remiel: We meet again, MC, son of man. Judgement day draws near, and humankind's time on this earth is waning...
MC: > Please wait a little.
> We'll do something.*
Remiel: ...I have high expectations for you, MC. Yes, you have the power. I am but an angel, an emissary of His will. There is no way for me to lend you our strength, nor can we act without a ruling. However, MC... I would like you to stand as the one who would convey His word, as a symbol of mankind.
MC: > What do you mean, symbol?*
> Why?
Remiel: Another word would be "Messiah." A child sent by Him to lead mankind into His light, blazing with righteousness. Having defeated Beldr and gained his power, you are the only human qualified. Your role would be to convey His word to mankind and lead them in changing the world.
MC: >i would control people?
>Will you help us if I do?*
Remiel: Do not be mistaken, MC. Clinging in fear to Him temporarily is truly foolish. Unless the seed is sown with your own hands, peace will never come to you. Bowing to Him, repenting your sins, and casting aside your fear are different things... Once that has been done, His mercy will save the pure, and evil will be cleansed away. We angels will sing with joy, the world will be red of poverty, and strife will end. Mankind will be absolved of sin, and an everlasting peace will make this world Paradise.
MC: >I don't get it.*
> I understand.
Remiel: That is only natural. However...
Remiel: Do not forget this. Keep the memory close to your heart. I... want to save all of you.
Remiel: May your path be illuminated by the glory of His light...
Atsuro: ...? Was that Amane? Or... the angel?
MC: > Don't worry about it.*
> It was Remiel.
Atsuro: C'mon, what's up with you? You can tell me. What did she say to you?
MC: > It's a secret.*
> Nothing, really.
Atsuro: That's not cool, MC-kun! Yoohoo's gonna hear about this!
10:30 AM - Nagata-cho
[Contamination Area (Battle)]
Man: No... D-Don't do this! I'm begging you!
SDF Soldier: There will be no exceptions. All demon tamers must be terminated.
Man: *shriek* Someone, help me!
[They shoot him anyway \o/ And blood appears! And then the body disappears!]
Tamer Capt.: All right, we've got the COMP. Let's get back to HQ.
SDF Tamer: Yes, Sir.
SDF Tamer: ...Man, this isn't easy. Our lives may be on the line, but still...
Tamer Capt.: ...Don't think that way. In the long run, this is for the good of the country. The deadline is tomorrow. Just try to do as much as you can until then.
SDF Tamer: Y-Yes Sir! (AWWWW he has this little tiger-bear thing on the strap of his armour. THAT'S SO CUTE)
[MC-kun and co arrive!]
Midori: Hey, aren't those the SDF soldiers we fought yesterday? They're killing demon tamers!
SDF Tamer: Captain! I've got a visual on some demon tamers! I'm counting four targets... Oh my g-- It's...!
Tamer Capt.: Damn it, it's those kids! All teams, prepare to engage!
SDF Tamer: Captain...! We'll hold this location! Please, take the COMPs we've collected back to HQ!
Tamer Capt.: ...Good thinking, soldier! I want you guys to fall back as soon as possible! Those kids aren't like the others!
SDF Tamer: U-Understood, Sir!
Atsuro: If we leave them be, the other demon tamers could be killed!
Midori: I can't allow that...! MC, let's take their COMPs away!
MC: > Let's!
> We'll take 'em, all right!*
[Battle start!]
Tamer Capt.: Don't engage them if you can avoid it! Be careful out there!
SDF Tamer: Understood! We'll escape at the first chance we get!
[Upon defeat:]
SDF Tamer: Y-You monsters!
[Upon defeat:]
SDF Tamer: H-How dare you...!
[Upon defeat:]
SDF Tamer: Damn... How do these kids do this...?
Tamer Capt.: Monsters...! I'm gonna let this COMP go beserk, and you guys are going down with it!
[And things appear! Why the hell did Naoya program a beserk mode anyway...!?]
Tamer Capt.: Kids like you deserve to play with demons!
Atsuro: That dude's nuts! He can't let a COMP go out of control!
[PICK UP COMP WHOO]
Atsuro: All right, the power's off! It's okay now!
[Proceed to Megidoloan the shit out of the Capt.]
Tamer Capt.: Nuahhh! I didn't... calculate this...
[Now defeat the legion and you're good to go \o/]
Yuzu: Do those people really think they'll be rescued if they kill all the demon tamers...? That can't be true! ...It's so stupid.
MC: > They want to get out.*
> They think it's a mission.
Yuzu: ...I know. Everyone's going crazy.
Atsuro: Yeah... Anyone would get desperate in a situation like this. Anyway, we destroyed their COMPs, so they wouldn't be able to do anything too bad.
Yuzu: But... It doesn't matter, if they get their hands on another COMP...
Atsuro: That's a big problem. It's such a pain that we haven't solved anything... Supposedly, some squinty guy wearing orange clothes and a black coat is selling COMPs...
Atsuro: Damn it! That guy's the reason why it's so dangerous and lawless in here!
Atsuro: It makes me kind of sick with myself that I'm starting to think of this as normal...
MC: > Yeah, same here.
> This isn't the time.*
Atsuro: I know... We have to do something about these demons, and put an end to all of this!
11:00 AM - Shinjuku
[??? (Battle)]
Policeman: All right! Chase after them, that way! Don't let them escape!
Atsuro: What the...!? It's pretty noisy over here.
Yuzu: Are there demons running loose again?
Atsuro: I'm not sure... But something doesn't seem right. Let's see what the problem is!
Tamer Cop: Kill the demons! Kill them all!
Atsuro: What's going on...? Are those humans attacking the demons!?
[SUDDENLY--! Like a bolt from the blue--! Dropping down from the sky...]
Tamer Cop: Wh-What the!? Its face is entirely black!
Black Frost: I'm the warrior of love and rage, Black Frost! But you can call me... Frosty! Ho, magical punishment is deserved by all those who prey on the weak! Hee-ho!
Black Frost: Now, my fell-ho demons! I'll hee-hold them back, so run while you can!
Tamer Cop: This thing speaks nonsense! Love and rage!? Is he thinking about retaliating!?
Midori: Magical punishment!? Does that mean he's...!
Yuzu: That demon... It's trying to protect the other demons!
Midori: Um... Ummmm...! It's wrong to pick on the weak, but... they're all demons!
Midori: Arrgghh! MC, I'm so confused!
MC: > Take out the demons
> Help out the demons.*
Midori: What...? R-Really!? Can we!?
Atsuro: ...Yeah. Even though they're demons, we can't sit back and watch a one-sided massacre! (...Then what do you guys do o_____o)
Yuzu: But... But! That means those humans will be our enemies!
Yuzu: Is that... okay...?
Atsuro: But we can't sit back and do nothing! Let's take their COMPs away!
[Battle start!]
Black Frost: Hee-Hmmm! More hee-humans! Are you guys our enemies, too, ho?
Midori: N-No! I'm here to save you!
Black Frost; ...Save us? Hmm... Hey! I remember you!
Midori: ...Huh!? Then you're...!
Black Frost: You taught me the power of love! That's why I worked so hee-hard, ho!
Midori: So you ARE the demon from last time! I was kinda wondering!
Midori: Hey, I have a favor to ask...!
Black Frost: A favor? What, hee-ho?
Midori: We're going to help you, so please don't kill these people!
Black Frost: Ho? But they're hee0horrible! I can't magical punishment them, ho?
Midori: No ho... Er... No! Just take their COMPs away so they can't fight anymore!
Black Frost: Hee-ho... All right! I'll do it!
Tamer Cop: WHat is with you guys? You kids should stand back and watch!
Midori: Human or demon, Magical Dolly never forgives those who prey on the weak! Magical punishment for all the baddies!
Tamer Cop: Arrogant little kids! You're just demons in disguise, aren't you!?
[Atsuro attacks a dude]
Tamer Cop: Stay outta my way!
Atsuro: Sorry, but I'm gonna have to take that COMP away!
[Woohoo megidoloan!]
Tamer Cop: D-Damn it...!
Tamer Cop: You'll regret this, demon tamer!
[blah blah blah you beat them up!]
Black Frost: Arigaho! (TN: in japanese, Arigatou means "thank you")
Black Frost: Now I see that love truly can leap across the species barrier ho! If you're ever in a tight freeze, I'll come rescue you ho! Until then, hee you later!
Yuzu: I think it meant "tight squeeze..." Phew! I never thought we'd help a demon...
Atsuro: You can say that again. Even more surprising was that a demon was standing up to help its comrades escape.
Midori: Aww... That li'l guy remembered me! Frosty really is doing his best out there.
Yuzu: So that's the same demon you were talking to about love and stuff, isn't it, Midori?
Yuzu: You called him "Frosty"? ...Was it always black!?
Midori: No, I think that's because he tried really hard. He's a lot stronger now! Good job Frosty!
Yuzu: I-I don't think trying hard had anything to do with his color change...
Yuzu: ...Whatever it is, it's still amazing. Does this mean we could just talk to demons...?
MC: > I think so.*
> That would be tough.
Midori: Yeah! Anything's possible when you've got enough love!
11:30 AM - Izuna
[Shinagawa]
Believer: Urgh... You're strong... You lousy demon tamer...!
Izuna: I'm going to ask you one last time. The Shomonkai were behind the incident at Asakusa six months ago, weren't they?
Believer: Nngh... Y-Yes!
Izuna; Why did they do it? Tell me!
Believer: I-It was to kill Jikoku... That's all I know...
Izuna: Jikoku? Who's that?
Believer: It's like a demon that's been in Tokyo since ancient times... We were told that if it was defeated, it would be easier to summon demons...
Izuna: You defeated one demon in order to be able to summon other demons...? That doesn't add up. Asakusa was raided months ago. The summoning program wasn't done. How did the Shomonkai defeat this Jikoku without their summoned COMPs!? Answer me!
Believer: I don't know, I swear! Only Lady Amane and some other ranking members went in! And even then, only Lady Amane and one other person survived the battle... Word is that Lady Amane defeated Jikoku, but that's all I know about it!
Izuna: Amane...? The maiden? She defeated a demon...? What in the world is she?
Believer: ...Ha! It's useless for you to defy the Shomonkai, anyway!
Izuna: Say what?
Believer: All the government could do against us is blockade all of the city of Tokyo! The Shomonkai are different. We have subdued demons and are saving people's lives! As long as we follow the teachings from our founder, we are safe from any calamity! All hail the Founder! All hail Master Belberith!
Izuna: Hey! Stop, or I'll shoot!
Izuna: Blast... He got away.
Atsuro: Izuna!
Izuna: Oh... It's you. Did you see all that?
Atsuro: We were just passing by. ...Why didn't you shoot that guy when he was running away?
Izuna: I'd kill someone to protect the integrity of the lockdown, but just for information...
Atsuro: That's a relief.
Izuna: Huh?
Atsuro: We've figured out something about you, Izuna... You don't think that killing people is going to solve anything in this place.
Izuna: Heh... I'm going soft, then.
Atsuro: That Shomonkai guy said something about defeating Jikoku in Asakusa...? He said it was like a demon, but do you know what it is?
Izuna: No. he said that they defated it in order to make it easier to summon demons later. And when he left, he said, "All hail Master Belberith"...
MC: > That's a demons name.
> It's a new Bel.*
Izuna: What's that?
Atsuro: Huh? Nothing! We've just been hearing all these demons named Bel0this, Bel-that...
Atsuro: So, he's like, "Oh, another Bel!" R-Right, Yuuto!?
Izuna: I see... If that's true, then this "His Majesty" of theirs could be a demon...
Izuna: Anyway, I'd like you to not mention this to anyone. I don't want them finding out what we're up to.
MC: > Okay.
> It's too late for that.*
Izuna: Not yet... The Shomonkai don't really consider us that important right now. Anyway, I'm going to try to probe deeper into their activities. We're low on time.
MC: > Low on time?
> Oh, yeah, tomorrow.*
Izuna: ...The deadline expires tomorrow... 18:00 sharp.
Atsuro: Huh!? 18:00!?
Izuna: That's right. That's why there isn't much time left. I'm going to get going. Be careful, you guys.
Atsuro: 18:00... We knew it would be tomorrow, but to have an actual time now... Damn it!
MC: > We were ready for it.
> We're cutting it close.*
Atsuro: Yeah, seriously...
Atsuro: Well... Getting all mopey about it won't do us any good. Let's just do what we can.
Atsuro: That reminds me of what Izuna and that Shomonkai guy were talking about... Amane defeated Jikoku in Asakusa before the special COMPs were completed, right? Hey, MC-kun, How do you think she did it?
MC: > Through demon summoning.
> With the angel's power.
> Amane's a total badass.*
Atsuro: Come on, what are you talking about? You can't beat demons with just fighting spirit.
Atsuro: That doesn't make any sense. How did Amane manage to defeat Jikoku...?
Atsuro: Well, thinking about it won't help. Let's just keep that question in mind for now.
12:00 AM - Shibuya
[Kaido]
Kaido: Yo, guys.
Atsuro: Kaido...
Kaido: ...You look pissed. Makes sense. Hate me all you want.
MC: > I'm over it.*
> Why did you kill him!?
Kaido: ...? You're... Never mind. It's nothing.
Atsuro: ...True, you just did the same thing Keisuke was doing. I know that! But... why!? You didn't have to go that far!
Kaido: Hey... Aren't you looking at this the wrong way?
Atsuro: Huh...!
Kaido: ...He followed the path he chose himself, all the way to the bitter end. Instead of backing down, he was so proud that he couldn't stop, not even if I kill him.
MC: > ......
> That's just an excuse!*
Kaido: I don't care what you think. Believe whatever you want.
Kaido: ...He and I are alike. We both knew that when we had to fight it would go all the way.
Kaido: Hmph... He had some will. He tried to snap at me to the very end.
Atsuro: Keisuke...
Kaido: ...Sorry for what happened.
Atsuro: Huh...?
Kaido: He must've been a great guy. If we didn't have to meet like that, we could've been buds... And, he was strong... in battle, and in his heart.
Atsuro: ......
Kaido: ...See you. You'd better live through this.
Yuzu: Man... I couldn't say anything to him. It seemed like... Kaido understood Keisuke better than any of us.
MC: > That may be true.*
> I still can't forgive him.
Yuzu: We need to... think a lot more about things from now on...
Atsuro: ...Let's go.
Yuzu: Atsuro...
Atsuro: ...Moaning and crying isn't going to bring Keisuke back.
Atsuro: ...I'm going to do whatever I can now.
Atsuro: That's how I'm going to make it up to Keisuke...
12:30 AM - Shibuya
[Atsuro]
Atsuro: Hey, do you have a second? I want to talk to you about something.
Atsuro: I've been thinking on my own about some things, and I want you to hear my opinions.
MC: > Go on, then.*
> ......
Atsuro: The power of the demons is amazing. They can do things I thought was impossible. ... I was thinking about having control over them to show the government not to fear them. ...I thought that everything would be solved if we could control the demons. But...
Atsuro: My best friend is dead... Because of a demon...
Atsuro: If there were no demons, Keisuke wouldn't have had to die! I feel helpless!
MC: > Blame yourself, then.*
> ......
Atsuro: ...Sorry for complaining to you all of a sudden.
Atsuro: All right! I'm gonna shape up from here on out! Let's go, MC-kun!
13:00 - Omotesando
[Shoji]
Shoji: *sigh* I'm terrible...
Yuzu: Hey, what's wrong, Shoji?
Shoji: Oh... It's you kids. It's good to see you're still alive...
Shoji: ...A little while ago, members of the Shomonkai were lynching a man...
Yuzu: Oh, no...
Shoji: Of course, I couldn't just watch, so I ran and yelled at them to stop, but...
Shoji: I was too late... And the man... He was the guy who rescued me before...
Yuzu: ...!
Shoji: I owed him my life, but I couldn't save him... Ha... what a laugh. I call myself a journalist and act all big, but I'm weak. Hey... I'm begging you. You kids need to live through this no matter what. See you...
[Shoji leaves.]
Yuzu: H-Hey... Do you think the man who was hanged by the Shomonkai was...?
MC: > It's Gin.
> ......*
Atsuro: It must have been Gin... Damn it! This is our fault... If we hadn't told him...
Atsuro: If we'd thought this was going to happen, we should've gone with him...!
13:30 - Ikebukuro
[Shoji]
Shoji: Hey there! Looks like you're still alive and kicking. Good, good.
Yuzu: Hey, quit acting so surprised.
Shoji: Well, if you can still have that attitude, I've got nothing to worry about.
Yuzu: Gah... By the way, did you learn anything new, Shoji?
Shoji: I do have some new facts percolating around in my brain. It seems the lockdown was crated to keep the demons trapped in here, after all. But they didn't want to admit that to the general public, so they lied about the gas. They also cut off television, radio, and phone reception to lock down information. But this will all end soon... in the worst possible way.
MC: > We know.*
> We're trying to stop it.
Shoji: ...I see, you must. You're trying to do something about it. It's true that the government is going to kill everybody along with the demons...
Yuzu: You really think they'll sacrifice everyone inside the lockdown area?
Shoji: Yes, they'll do it. Not just the people in Tokyo. It's to protect a secret, and any life is worth the price. That's probably why my mentor...
Yuzu: What...?
Shoji: Oh, sorry. That's got nothing to do wiht you. All I can do is cheer you, but I'm expecting a lot from you kids! Good luck!
Yuzu: ...She's gone.
MC: > ......
> She ran away.*
Yuzu: I guess she really didn't want to tell us about that. It seemed to have something to do with the government, so I wonder what it was...
14:00 - Kanda
[Shoji]
Shoji: Oh, it's you kids. What's the matter?
MC: > Just saying hello.
> We have a question.*
MC: > Tell us about your mentor.
> Before you left, you...*
Shoji: ...Right. I left kind of suddenly, but not telling you would be unfair, too. Do you know the "electronic item safety law" put into effect a few years ago? It's more commonly known as the PSE Law.
MC: > We know about it.*
> What's that?
Shoji: You've done your research! That law requires special government approval when recycling electronic items. This law has lots of problems, but the government forced it through. My mentor investigated why... One day, he called me, saying "I'm close to cracking this!" That... was the last time I ever heard his voice.
MC: > What happened to him?
> That sounds like 10BIT.
Shoji: ...You know 10BIT? He was my mentor's friend! Don't tell me he's--
MC: > We've met him in here.
> He's dead.
Shoji: I see... So they both pursued the same msytery, and both met the same fate... Because of the government, both of them are...!
Atsuro: Shoji... WHat're you going to do?
Shoji: I don't know yet, but I'm going to get revenge for their deaths. ...One more reason not to give up and die inside this place... Look... No matter what happens, let me deal with this case. Just do me a favor and make sure you survive the lockdown. The more people who know the truth, the better. So... Please.
14:30 - Nagata-cho
[Izuna]
Believer: B-But... It is said that Master Belberith will save us!
Izuna: Look around! Now's not the time to fall back on your dogma. I won't say a word to anyone about what you tell me.
Izuna: Please, believe me. I want to save you all! I want to save this entire country!
Believer: Aaahhh... D-Do you promise? You won't tell anyone that I helped you?
Izuna: I swear it. Please, tell me. How did Amane defeat Jikoku without a COMP?
Believer: Th-That's...
Amane: ...I am here.
Izuna: ...!? The maiden of Shomonkai... So, you're Amane...
Amane: You were searching for me, correct? I will answer your questions.
Izuna: I see... That'll help things go faster. Six months ago, you defeated Jikoku in Asakusa. However, neither the summoning program nor the altered COMPs had been completed yet. How then, did you defeat Jikoku!?
Amane: I borrowed the power of Jezebel, who is Master Belberith's subordinate. Master Belberith is a higher being, revered by the Shomonkai. My father formed a contract with Master Belberith, who then sent Jezebel into me. I called to her, and used that power to defeat Master Jikoku.
Izuna: Jezebel... There's... a demon inside you?
Amane: ...Indeed. Summoning a demon wtihout the assistance of the program uses a vast amount of mental energy. After using my powers to summon Jezebel, I fell unconscious for several days. Jezebel, who had been wounded in the battle, still recovers within me...
Izuna: In other words, you're the only one that can use that power then... ...We can't have the Shomonkai doing anything they please anymore. Demon tamers with altered COMPs are dangerous enough. A human that can summon demons without a COMP is much worse... ...We can't let you live like this. I'm sorry, but you have to die here.
Amane: Don't be a fool. Your power cannot possibly defeat me... Even if you were somehow able to kill me, you would still not meet your objective.
Izuna: ...!? What do you mean?
Amane: If I should fall, Jezebel will be released into this world. Are you prepraed to fight me, and then deal with her once she is free of my body?
Izuna: Ngh...!
Amane: Then, if you will excuse us... Please, do not strain yourselves.
Izuna: ...Tch! We're risking our lives, too! I have to do this... I'll find a way to stop the Shomonkai, somehow...
Yuzu: Yuuto... Did you hear that?
MC: > I heard.*
> ......
Yuzu: Amane said that the demon inside her defeated Jikoku...
Atsuro: Yeah... I can't imagine what it would be like to have a demon inside me... Still... Jezebel, huh?
MC: >Another Bel.
> This is complicated.
Atsuro: Yeah. And the demon the Shomonkai follow is Belberith, right? The Founder made a contract with it, and as a result Jezebel was sent into Amane... Umm... This whole Jezebel thing is confusing me.
MC: > She's Belberith's minion.
> How so?*
Atsuro: Well, think about it a little.
Atsuro: Jezebel is Belberith's subordinate, but they're both "Bel-" demons.
Yuzu: Wait, the demons with "Bel" in their names are fighting over who will be the next king... So why is Jezebel working for Belberith? Does this mean that not all the "Bel-" demons are fighting each other? Or is it because Jezebel knows that Belberith is stronger than her?
Atsuro: We don't know that much yet... Well, it'll probably help if we remember those names.
15:00 - Shinjuku
[???]
Gigolo: My, my, my... Hello there, MC. What a coincidence that we'd meet here.
MC: > You planned this.
> I know!*
Gigolo:Regardless, it seems that tomorrow may be the day we all say our goodbyes to the world. Long ago, at the beginning of everything... God took seven days and nights creating the heavens, the earth, and everything in them. ...That's the same amount of time being used to test the world. Now... Who wanted this ordeal to happen in the first place?
MC: > What do you mean?
> I don't know.*
Gigolo: Hahahaha! No, you wouldn't would you?
Gigolo: The world's in your hand, then you look down and see you're standing on someone's palm...That kind of thing happens all the time. Ha ha...
MC: > Who are you?
> What's your point.*
Gigolo: Eh? Oh, just forget about it. I'm tired of talking about it, anyway. Whatever. I think I'll pass some information along to you.
Gigolo: You're already aware of the fight for the Throne of Bel, aren't you?
MC: > Of course.
> Somewhat.
Gigolo: Hmm, good. Then let me fill you in on this war you've gotten yourself dragged into. Of all the Bels that have appeared in this world, there are frive left.
The mnost powerful and closest to obtaining the throne of Bel is Belberith. And, he has two of the other Bels accompnying him.
MC: > Is Jezebel one of them?
> Two Bels?
Gigolo: You seem confused. Haven't you heard of Belzaboul yet? I may have said too much...Well, who cares! I might as well tell you. Belzaboul is the right hand of darkness. He was originally as powerful as Belberith... Unfortunately, he's serving a rather troublesome force himself...Anyway, I don't know why, but Belzaboul's boss ordered him to work under Belberith. ...Well, I can't even come close to what someone like him would be thinking. That reminds me... I heard he was planning on visiting this world himself sometime soon. Heh heh heh... I hope you all get the chance to meet him.
MC: > Is Jezebel one of them? *
Gigolo: ...Hm? You know that Jezebel is inside Amane, don't you? Belberith placed Jezebel within Amane to act as his agent in the human world. It seemed his interests coincided with those of the man who founded Shomonokai.
Gigolo: And while we're on the subject of Belberith...The worship of the Shomonkai seems to have given him a great deal of power. ...If he becomes the King of Bel, many demons will choose to obey him, that's for sure.
MC: > Will Belberith be king?*
> I won't let him be king!
Gigolo: If things keep going like they have been, he certainly will.
Gigolo: Heh...The demons will gain a powerful leader, and the war against God can finally begin. What a shame... They keep telling the humans that this is part of God's ordeal. If you trace it all back, the humans just got dragged into the war of angels and demons.
MC-kun: > It's not about humanity?
> It looks that way.
Gigolo: It's not like I care about this stuff all that much, anyway. Now, I wonder what kind of world we'll see if you win the war for the Throne of Bel... Heh... I'm really looking forward to that. I've got a box seat for this show. Anyway, it seems that defeating Belial will be your biggest obstacle today. I'll be watching your activites with interest, as always...
[And then he teleports in a flash of blue! Whee!]
Yuzu: H-He disappeared again...! Who in the world is he? What in the world is he...!?Yuzu: Well...Belberith huh? And he's got two more of the Bel demons with him...
Atsuro: Yeah... But we have to worry about Belial first. Let's get our death clocks off of 0 today, then think about what happens later...
15:30 - Shinjuku
[Shoji]
Shoji: Oh-ho, we meet again. Is everything going A-Okay for all of you?
Yuzu: Oh, Shoji! It's not that great, but I guess we're pulling through. How about you? Did you find out anything new?
Shoji: Mmmm, somewhat. I did learn a few things... It seems the Shomonkai are intentionally distributing these altered COMPs.
Yuzu: Yeah, we know about that.
Shoji: Really? I thought I had a real scoop. Dang!
Yuzu: But, we don't know why. Aren't they better off if they keep that power to themselves?
Shoji: Yeah, you'd think so, right? I looked into it... and found the terrifying truth!
Shoji: ...The Shomonkai's goal is to completely turn Tokyo into the demon world. With more and more demon tamers summoning demons, it's happening even faster!
MC: > So what'll happen then?
> ......*
Shoji: Well, this is how I heard it from a believer, so I don't know how true it is... If this keeps up, "His Majesty," that is, some demon named Belberith... ...is going to be able to be summoned into this world!
Yuzu: Belberith... That Shomonkai member we spoke to earlier said the same thing...
Shoji: I guess summoning Belberith will let them overcome God's ordeal or something. But if demons keep on coming, Tokyo's going to be hell on earth even before then. I'm having trouble telling the truth from fiction anymore. Anyway, you guys be careful!
Yuzu: Hey, what did she mean, they want to turn Tokyo into the demon world!?
MC: > It's not going to happen.*
> We won't let it happen!
Atsuro: But... if it's true, then we need to stop it!
16:00 - Suidobashi
[Tokyo Dome - Battle]
Boy: Waaaah!
Woman: Come on, this way! Hurry! It's too dangerous to stay here!
Yuzu: ...What's the matter!?
Woman: What's the matter!? Demon tamers started fighting each other right next to us! If'n it weren't for that cop, I don't think we'd'a made it outta there... This is exactly why ya can't trust demon tamers! Seriously!
Yuzu: Wha--How could they...!? I can't believe this! Let's stop them, MC-kun!
Woman: Are you dumb? It's dangerous! When you get yer heads cut off don't come cryin' to me!
[Scene change!]
Office Girl: Th-Thank you so much! You saved me!
Policeman: There's no time for thanks! Just run as far as you can!
Office Girl: Y-Yes, Sir!
Policeman: Damn... How am I supposed to stop a fight between a bunch of demon tamers!?
[DADADADA-- THE SUMMON RANGERS ARRIVE ON SCENE!]
Policeman: Y-You guys...! It's too dangerous here! Get back!
Midori: It's okay, Mr Policeman Sir! We're demon tamers too! Don't worry! We'll stop this fight in no time!
Policeman: ...You came to stop them!? I-I see...
Policeman: I can't allow that! Please, don't make this fight bigger than it already is!
MC: > You're powerless against them.*
> We'll be careful.
Policeman: Hmmm... All right. I suppose the only thing I can do is trust you guys. But please be careful! Their lives are worth just as much as yours!
Midori: Thank you for your concern, but we'll be just fine!
Policeman: ...Are you the ones going around helping people? I've heard the rumors!
Midori: Hehehe! Are we super famous now? Did we become real heroes!?
Policeman: Hey, don't let it get to your heads. This isn't a joke! I'm counting on you guys.
[POLICEMAN LEAVES. And now we see thugs! And people!]
Tamer Thug: Hey, if you know what's best for you, you'll leave those COMPs right here! We won't go easy on you just because you're chicks!
Tamer: You arrogant bastard! Being stronger than us doesn't mean you can win! Don't underestimate us!
Yuzu: Hey, you guys! What do you think you're doing!?
Tamer: Oh no... Are they demon tamers too!? We're surrounded!
Tamer2: ...Last minute participants, eh? Good! We'll just have to take your COMPs too!
Yuzu: Whaaaat!?
Tamer Thug: Wow, talk about luck! Now I'll have even more COMPs!
Atsuro: Geez, these guys are serious! As long as they have COMPs, they won't stop fighting!
Midori: Then we'll have to take the COMPs away!
[Battle start!]
MC: > Stop fighting!*
> Why are you fighting!?
Tamer: You're a bunch of arrogant kids! I'll show you how scary adults can be!z
Yuzu: What's the point of attacking other humans in times like this!?
[Yuzu beats him up.]
Tamer: W-Whoa!
Tamer: Aaahh...! I-I can't fight anymore!
Atsuro: What's the point of attacking other humans in times like this!?
[And then you beat the rest of them up because I'm lazy.]
Atsuro: It's over...
Midori: I won't allow anyone to use COMPs for bad things!
Yuzu: It might all end tomorrow... WHy are people doing things like this...?
MC: > People are desperate.*
> They want to escape.
Yuzu: Huh? What do you mean?
Atsuro: ...Demon tamers can see the death clocks. They must know there isn't much time left. That makes them even more desperate to get stronger and get out of the lockdown zone. ...It'll take power to get past the SDF, right?
Yuzu: ...! That's... It won't be good if that's what they're trying to do!
Atsuro: Yeah... It's only a matter of time before people start seriously considering breaking out. ...Even if the blockades are being protected by angels. We don't have much time left...

Decarabia: ...Are you done already? Then it's my turn... You'll scream loud and clear, won't you!?
SDF Soldier: Ahhh, stop please sto-
SDF Soldier: Guaaahhhh!!
Decarabia: Kyahahaha! Is this all of your power, humans? You're so fragile... Too fragile!
Honda: ...How can this be!? Demons are killing the SDF... But this is our chance... If we do this right, we may be able to get out...!
Worker: Y-Yeah...! We can escape now! Let's make a break for it!
Worker: W-Wait! Take me with you!
[SHINY BLUE FLASH OF LIGHT]
Worker: ...Whoa! What was that!?
[Power appears!]
Power: You are all fools, sons of men. Escaping would be to cast aside your responsibility.
Honda: ......! Oh no... You guys! Run!
Power: ...Face divine punishment. Incinerate.
Worker: Uwaaaaahhh!
[Shiny blue light makes them disappear!]
Honda: Ghh...! How can angels be algined with the government!?
Decarabia: What's this...? Angels killing humans? This is going to really scar the humans counting on you to answer their prayers!
Power: There are no words for you, demons. We have reason to purge those tainted by you.
Honda: No...! With the Self Defense Force gone, we could finally have escaped...! But now we'll just be pulled into their battle!
Atsuro: H-Hey... Isn't that Honda!?
Yuzu: ......!? The demons are fighting with angels!
Yuzu: What should we do...!? They're going to pull innocent people into this!
Atsuro: Wh-What the heck!? Damn it, what are we supposed to do!?
MC: > Assist the angels
> Assist the demons
> Defeat both forEXP humanity*
Atsuro: Whaddaya mean "both!?" You want us to fight angels, too!? I-I mean... aren't they the messengers of God!?
MC: > Reconsider
> Defeat them both
Atsuro: A-All right, damn it! I hope we aren't eternally cursed for this!
[Battle starts!]
Honda: ...You guys!
Atsuro: Honda! What are you doing!? Summon your demons!
Honda: Damn... I guess there's no other way. I won't let this chance pass me by!
Decarabia: Gwaahhh! You annoying rats! Come forth, my tribe!
Decarabia: Kekeke...! Blood... I smell blood...! I'll devour you!
Decarabia: I offer this tainted blood in the name of our dark master!
Power: ...Children of men, if your hearts are pure, God's grace will save you. We became involved in this barricade to save the righteous.
Honda: ...Save people? Do you know how many people died in this lockdown!?
Power: The hearts of fools are tainted by demons... Repent and await judgement, or die here... Which fate will you choose?
Midori: ...What? What do you mean, die here?
Honda: So the angels will eradicate all beings who don't align with God's will! Some God!
Power: Those who fall from the path and cannot return are no longer children of men. For a righteous world, it is within reason for them to be purged...
[Beat up the Power in your way. It was in your way =|]
Power: ...Trifling humans! Angels, to me!
Power: Fools that spit in the direction of heaven! You will be eradicated!
Power: Ah... Angels! Bring they light to this world...!
Tamer: L-Let's escape now, while we still can!
Power: ...Son of men, that cannot be allowed. Your lives must end here.
Yuzu: ......!? What do you mean!?
******* MC: > We should escape too!
> We can't let them go!
Atsuro: A-Are you serious, Yuuto? If we do that, everyone in the barricade will die...! Are you saying we'll sacrifice all those people just so we can save ourselves!?
MC: > Yes, we have to escape.
> Maybe you're right...
Atsuro: Damn it... I tried to stop you... I take no responsibility for this!
Honda: I see... I owe you. Thanks.
Yuzu: Geez... I guess there's no ohter way! Now that we're doing it, we've gotta live!
[Honda escapes.]
Honda: ...I won't forget you guys. I'll be waiting outside the barricade.
[Other dude escapes.]
Tamer: I... I can go home! I can get outside the barricade!
[...Damn it. The last angel suicided on us. Stupid thing.]
Atsuro: ...We defeated 'em. But dude, we killed angels too! I hope we avoid divine punishment...
Yuzu: With Honda outside the barricade, the final judgement will come soon! Hurry, Yuuto!
Atsuro: H-Hey... Are you serious!? We can still turn back...
Yuzu: One or two people won't make that much difference! Come on, let's go home!
Atsuro: Oh... Yeah... Okay...
After defeating the angels that confronted them, you and your friends broke through the lockdown and headed home. When you arrived, though, you learned of the tragedy that occurred inside the lockdown. Soon after your escape, a mighty bolt of lighting struck nside the Yamanote circle and reportedly killed all who remained within. However, the true calamity came next. From the sky, a host of angels appeared to watch over mankind and place it under the strict control of Heaven. A world without free will, where man must obey God wihtout exception, is about to begin...
**** Okay now for the real thing!

Honda: You guys... I thought you would understand how I feel... I'm sorry that you don't.
Atsuro: ...We stopped them from escaping, so we should get outta here too! Let's go!
Atsuro: It'd be trouble if the SDF soldiers got suspicious of us!
Atsuro: In any case... There really are angels.
Midori: Demons really exist too, so it shouldn't be that much of a surprise.
Atsuro: Oh... No, that's not what I meant. I was talking about how it turns out that angels are the ones behind the government.
Atsuro: I mean... We really are going to be killed if we don't do something about the demons.
MC: > We can't give up!*
> We can do it.

Honda: I'm counting on you! I have to see my son!
Gigolo: Leave it to me. I'll definitely get you to... Oh, but this should be private.
Gigolo: Very well, then.. I'll come get you when it's all set up. See you later...
Atsuro: Hey... Wasn't that Honda?
Yuzu: And he was with that flashy guy! There's an odd couple...
MC: > They are strange.
> What are they doing?
Atsuro: We have no way of knowing... First we see him with Kaido, and now that other guy... Honda's got some mysteries.
Yuzu: I wonder what Honda was asking him about...
Atsuro: Do you think he was asking for anything? Couldn't they just be working together for survival in this harsh world? That makes sense.
Yuzu: I don't know... I get the feeling like something was up between them...
17:30 - Shibuya
[Yuzu]
Yuzu: Hey, MC-kun... I wanna talk to you about something...
Yuzu: ...Have you been thinking about what you're gonna do tomorrow?
Yuzu: This is just my opinion, but I feel like we shouldn't stay in the city. We should escape.
MC: > We can't do that.
> We should consider it.
Yuzu: Yeah, but... Can we really change this whole mess in just one more day?
Yuzu: It's gonna pass by so quickly, and if we fail... I'm too scared to even think of it...
Yuzu: If we break out of the lockdown, is there any reason for it to continue? I think escaping would help save other people, too... I'd really like if you gave what I said some thought...

Gigolo: ...Oh? You're pretty late, Mr. Failure.
MC: > What?*
> ,,,,,,
Gigolo: ...You lost the qualifications to fight Belial. Good for you. You didn't try, but now you don't have to die. The slightest thing can tamper with fate. ...The death of the one you were involved with may have changed the future. Then again... That's not really a downside for you, is it? You've got your last day coming up. You'd better enjoy it. Don't give up!
[The death clock goes from reading 0 to reading 1]
Atsuro: Huh? Hey, wasn't that guy just now...?
Atsuro: H-Hey, Yuuto! What're you staring off into space for?
MC: > Our death clocks say 1.
> Something weird happened.*
Atsuro: What? Why are you staring over my head...?
MC: > Our death clocks say 1.
> ......*
Atsuro: Hey, are you all right? C'mon! Tell us!
MC: > Our death clocks say 1.*
> ......
Atsuro: They did!? Are you serious!?
MC: > We changed our destiny.
> We won't fight Belial.*
Atsuro: ...! Don't tell me... Did that guy come to tell us that?
Atsuro: We're not fighting Belial...? Wh's that?
Atsuro: I'm glad our death clocks changed, but... Is this something to be happy about?
MC: > I doubt it.*
> We'll be fine.
Atsuro: Did... Did we mess something up!? Damn... I don't know...
Midori: ...Did we do something wrong?

[Tokyo Tower - Battle]
Sage of Time: Now, right this way, everyone. Offer your souls to me of your own volition.
[The scene shows some old geezer looking demon like thing by one of those demon-spawning points, with several demons nearby. An OL walks a few steps towards it, looking confused.]
Atsuro: Hey... What's going on over there?
Yuzu: Those people look like they're sleep-walking or something...
Sage of Time: Ah, a new guest. Come over here and hand me your soul.
MC: > Sure, why not?*
> No.
Yuzu: Are you stupid, Yuuto!? What are you saying!?
Sage of Time: ...? That's strange. I didn't know there were humans who could resist my spell...
Decarabia: Can we have them then, oh wise Sage of Time? We're famished!
Sage of Time: ...Hmm, very well. You can eat the humans who won't fall under my spell. But don't touch the others. If you eat them, their souls go too...
[There's a couple other people who also walk towards creepy dude.]
Yuzu: What's going on here? He's controlling people to collect souls, like some kind of god!
Atsuro: Those people are hypnotized! If we don't wake them up, they're in a lot of trouble!
Yuzu: Yeah...! If we get close to them, maybe we can wake them up!
[You talk to one of them..]
Yuzu: Hey, get a hold of yourself! Please wake up!
Worker: Huh...? What... What was I doing? Whaaa? It's a demon!
Sage of Time: ... You obnoxious kids! How dare you break my spell!? Minions, eat them alive!
Decarabia: Ohyohyohyo! They look so tassssty!
Office Girl: Hm.. Mmm... What the--!? What am I doing here!? Ahhh! Demons!
[One of them reaches an exit point.]
Worker: I'm saying thank you! Just in case...
[Another girl appears!]
Office Girl: Zzz... Wooww... A dream world... here... Zzzz...
Sage of Time: Right this way... Offer your souls to me of your own volition...
Midori: O-Oh no! If we don't defeate h8im, he's just gonna keep bringing more people here!
[Midori attacks the Sage of Time]
Sage of Time: Hahaha! Ignorant, ignorant, ignorant! Your souls will be eaten as well!
[Holy dance!]
Sage of Time: What...!? Defeated by... mere humans!? How frustrating! Grahhhh!
Yuzu: Weee, we did it! He was really strong, too!
Atsuro: ...Man, what a ridiculous demon... Eating people's souls... Sheesh...
Yuzu: Things are gonna get worse if more demons like that appear...
Atsuro: Man... I shudder to think what would happen if a demon like him got out of the lockdown...
19:00 - Shibuya
[Atsuro & Yuzu]
Yuzu: It's night already... Tomorrow at 18:00, the government's going to take action... and we're all dead.
MC: > It'll be all right.
> I'm worried.
Yuzu: Really...? Do you really think it'll all turn out okay...?
Atsuro: Izuna seemed to be stuck, too... We can't count on anyone else to help us now.
Yuzu: ...Yeah. That demon Jezebel, the one in Amane... It defeated Jikoku, right?
Yuzu: Knowing that doesn't help us with anything...
Atsuro: Hmmm... If Jezebel's inside Amane, there's nothing we can do about it...
Atsuro: *sigh* There's nothing the special forces can do, then...
Midori: That's why we have to do our best. We can't give up, not even at the last second!
Atsuro: Besides the government, we can't expect the angels to pull any strings to help us...
Atsuro: No matter what happens, they probably won't forgive humans until we take responsibility.
MC: > Those angels piss me off.
> We must stop the demons.
Atsuro: Yeah... Their attitude makes me sick.
Atsuro: Luckily, being able to control the demons will be enough to get them off our backs...
Yuzu: Whew... I feel exhausted all of a sudden... Hey, why don't we get some rest soon?
Atsuro: Yeah, that's a good idea.
Midori: No matter how much we laugh or cry, it all ends tomorrow. Let's make sure it ends well!
Yuzu: Yeah! Well... Let's get ready for bed!
Gigolo: Oh my, we meet again. I'm glad to see that you made it out alive. Well done! But, you know... Everyone's going to die tomorrow. That's a sad thing.
MC: > It's not over yet.
> Oh my, you're right.
Gigolo: Oh my, are you mocking me? You're not all that, you know. Well, whatever you think, you may be able to change that destiny in the remaining time.
MC: > Really?*
> How!?
Gigolo: Ha... You can believe me, or not. You're free to decide. People's thoughts are useful. Oddly enough, Naoya's summoning program proved that. If you use that power to your advantage, you can change the world... Or your destiny. ...Walk the path with those sympathetic to you and with whom you would share destiny.
MC: > Who's that?
> What path?*
Gigolo: Well... Didn't you receive an email from that person, just a moment ago? I believe that's the invitation to go forth, hand in hand, into destiny. Then again, now is the only time you can take that path... Whether you live or die is up to you. Think about what's going to happen once it ends. Anyway, tomorrow is the last day. I wish you the best of luck.
19:30 - Shibuya
[Yuzu]
Yuzu: Hey, Yuuto... We only have one day left, you know? At 18:00 tomorrow, we're... What can we do? Is there any other way out but death? I don't want to die!
Yuzu: ...Hey, what would happen if we broke through the lockdown and escaped?
MC: > The final option is used.
> The angels take over.*
Yuzu: Do you really think that will happen? I mean, once we're out, there will be no reason to hide the existence of demons. The lockdown will be meaningless then. Would they still use the final option...? I don't think that even the angels would do something that pointless.
Midori: Ehh... I'm against that idea. It's way too dangerous.
Yuzu: But...! The time limit's gonna end tomorrow and we'll all die! Are you all fine with that!?
Yuzu: I don't want that to happen! We did everything we could for the past week! And even now, we don't know anything for sure! We don't even know if we'll survive! Escaping the lockdown is better than dying in the street!
Midori: Urgh... Yuzu...
Yuzu: Let's get out of the lockdown! Make sure we survive, then we can find a way to deal with the demons!
Yuzu: Yuuto... I... I just don't want to die! Let's get out of here, okay...?
MC: > I need to think.*
> Okay.
Yuzu: Yeah... Sorry... Take your time. I'll be waiting.
19:30 - Shibuya
[Yuzu]
Yuzu: I... I want to go shopping, and see movies with you, Yuuto! I want to go to the beach in the summer, and go skiing in the winter! [ =) ]
Yuzu: ...... [ =( ]
Yuzu: Yuuto... I... I just don't want to die! Let's get out of here, okay...?
MC: > I need to think.
> Okay.
Yuzu: Really!?
Atsuro: H-Hey, wait! To get out... You know we'll have to fight the SDF and the angels, right?
Yuzu: ...It's better than dying! I mean, they started the lockdown in the first place!
Atsuro: But... Hmm...
Atsuro: Haha, it's still no use.
Yuzu: ...?
Atsuro: I'm trying to think it over, but I don't have any better ideas. Still, think about it.
Atsuro: If we fight the SDF, we'll be fighting the government. We'll be criminals, at best!
Yuzu: I... I don't want to do this, either! But if they're going to kill us anyway, what are we supposed to do!?
Yuzu: I don't want you and Atsuro to die, Yuuto...
Yuzu: I can't let it happen!
Atsuro: Yuzu...
Atsuro: Thanks, but... We all feel that way. Even then, aren't we the only ones with a chance of changing this situation? Can't we do more than run away?
Atsuro: Even then, you want us to abandon everything we fought for and run for the hills?
MC: > I'm thinking it over.
> Sounds good to me.
Atsuro: Look, even Yuuto thinks we should slow down. Let's think this over again, okay...?
19:30 - Shibuya
[Yuzu]
Yuzu: I... I want to go shopping, and see movies with you, Yuuto! I want to go to the beach in the summer, and go skiing in the winter! [ =) ]
Yuzu: ...... [ =( ]
Yuzu: Yuuto... I... I just don't want to die! Let's get out of here, okay...?
MC: > I need to think.
> Okay.
Atsuro: Yuuto... You're serious? You're fine with abandoning everything and running away?
MC: > I'm still thinking.
> That's fine with me.
Atsuro: Haha... You too, Yuuto? Man... Are you really okay with this!?
Midori: No! There's no way we can do it! You're putting everyone in the Yamanote circle in danger!
Yuzu: ...Are you saying you're okay with us all dying if time runs out!?
Midori: Argh! I'm getting all confused! I can't think straight right now...!
Atsuro: Well, that was bound to happen.
Yuzu: ...I'm sorry for being selfish, but... I don't want everyone to die.
Yuzu: If you die here, all our work will have been for nothing!
Atsuro: In any case... If we're going to escape, it'd be good if we could limit any casualties...
Yuzu: Right. We can't go around recklessly hurting people, either. Let's look around and make sure we get out of here with as little fighting as we can.

?a e ▊ n c* d▊y.
Atsuro: MC-kun! Over here, MC-kun!
Atsuro: Did you read the Laplace Mail today?
MC: > It said it was ending.
> It was really scrambled.*
Atsuro: Is that all you noticed!? Never mind that! It said the mail list was ending! It kept getting worse and worse, but I didn't think it would get discontinued... We've been deciding what to do each day based on the emails. What're we gonna do tomorrow?
Yuzu: Oh... Hey! Did you read the Laplace Mail? What're we gonna do tomorrow?
Atsuro: We were just talking about that, too.
Yuzu: ...Did you guys figure out what to do?
MC: > We believe in ourselves.*
> We're all dead tomorrow.
> ......
Yuzu: O-Okay... I'm still worried, though...
Atsuro: No matter what happens, if we don't lift the lockdown in two days, we're going to die. We have to find a way to stop that, no matter what.
Yuzu: Y-Yeah...
Atsuro: THen again... What should we do about it, though?
MC: > Become the King of Bel.
> Get rid of the demons.
> Control the demons.
> Break the lockdown.*
> Enough talk!
Atsuro: Yeah... It might come to that as a matter of last resort.
Atsuro: ...The angels behind the Self-Defence Force are gonna show up to stop us, for sure. Personally, I don't want to fight humans or angels if there's any way to avoid it...
MC: > Become the King of Bel.*
> Get rid of the demons.
> Control the demons.
> Break the lockdown.
> Enough talk!
Atsuro: ...! To do that, you... you're gonna have to become the demon king. Is that okay!?
Atsuro: Well... If you had that much power, getting out of this lockdown would be a snap.
Atsuro: ...
Atsuro: Should we go see what Naoya has to say?
MC: > Become the King of Bel.
> Get rid of the demons.*
> Control the demons.
> Break the lockdown.
> Enough talk!
Atsuro: Get rid of them, huh...? How can we get rid of them all in only two days?
MC: > Let's check the COMPs.
> Maybe Haru's sequencer?*
Atsuro: That's right...! We have something else besides the COMPs that we can look at! Haru's sequencer was able to summon demons, right!? Haru could summon demons with the sequencer Aya left her. If we compare how that works with the way the COMPs summon demons, we might learn a bit. Dan it... If Haru was still alive, we could find out more about it...
MC: > Become the King of Bel.
> Get rid of the demons.
> Control the demons.*
> Break the lockdown.
> Enough talk!
Atsuro: We still don't know where the server is. It's hard to say. Both Amane and Naoya sounded like they knew where the server is... If we make a detailed plan to control demons and tell them, they may help us to find it.
09:00 AM - Omotesando
[Gin]
Gin: ...What's the matter? Is there something you want from me?
MC: > It's about Haru.*
> Hello.
Gin: Oh... I see. What is it?
MC: > Where is Aya's sequencer?
> Haru could summon demons.*
Gin: ...She could? I never heard anything like that.
Yuzu: Yeah, Haru said that she could use the sequencer like a COMP to summon demons.
Gin: I see... I didn't even know that about her...
MC: > A song can summon demons.
> Aya's song is related.*
Gin: Aya's song...? Sorry, I don't think I know anything about it. Everything Haru was carrying was confiscated by the Self-Defense Force troops.
Gin: Sorry, but there's othing here. Nothing... [ D< ]
Atsuro: I'm... sorry for making you relive bad memories...
Gin: No, it's all right. It's no one's fault...
Gin: ...If you have nothing else to do with me, then I'm going to leave.
MC: > Thank you very much.*
Atsuro: Hm... What's wrong, MC-kun?
MC: > It said 0.
> Gin's in danger.*
Atsuro: He is...? Did you see his death clock!?
MC: > It was at zero.
> Gin's going to die today.
Atsuro: Why didn't you tell us earlier!? We have to hurry, MC-kun!
09:30 AM - Kanda
[Mari]
Mari: Um... Thank you for yesterday. It's been a while since I slept that well.
MC: > You're welcome.
> I don't blame you.
Mari: Hahaha... You did something good. There's no need to be embarassed about it. But, really, I might not have been able to defeat Kudlak without your help. Kresnik was very grateful, too. You're all strong, but you don't use the powers of your demons for evil. That's very admirable of you.
Mari: I want to do what I can, too... Let's do our best together!
MC: > Okay.
> Together?
Mari: Oh... I'm sorry. I completely jumped the gun, didn't I? I want you to let me join your group.
Atsuro: Miss Mari! You can't do that! It's way too dangerous!
Mari: That's rude, Atsuro. As long as we're inside the lockdown, it's dangerous everywhere. I'd rather fight alongside all of you than sit here.
Atsuro: Um... What should we do, MC-kun?
MC: > You really shouldn't.
> Think about it more.
Atsuro: Right, that makes sense.
Atsuro: Um... Take some time to make sure you mean it. If you don't change your mind, you can help.
Mari: ...Okay. I don't want to make you worry about me. I'll give it a little more thought. I'm sorry to call you over here when you're all so busy. You be careful too!
10:00 AM - Shiba Park
[Amane]
Atsuro: Argh, I'm so thirsty...
Yuzu: And I'm so sweaty...
Atsuro: Why don't we rest a little? I need to use a bathroom.
Yuzu: I vote for a break, too. I hope there's not a big crowd where the water is...
[Amane approaches you, as if she was waiting for you to be alone...]
Remiel: We meet again, MC, son of man. Judgement day draws near, and humankind's time on this earth is waning...
MC: > Please wait a little.
> We'll do something.*
Remiel: ...I have high expectations for you, MC. Yes, you have the power. I am but an angel, an emissary of His will. There is no way for me to lend you our strength, nor can we act without a ruling. However, MC... I would like you to stand as the one who would convey His word, as a symbol of mankind.
MC: > What do you mean, symbol?*
> Why?
Remiel: Another word would be "Messiah." A child sent by Him to lead mankind into His light, blazing with righteousness. Having defeated Beldr and gained his power, you are the only human qualified. Your role would be to convey His word to mankind and lead them in changing the world.
MC: >i would control people?
>Will you help us if I do?*
Remiel: Do not be mistaken, MC. Clinging in fear to Him temporarily is truly foolish. Unless the seed is sown with your own hands, peace will never come to you. Bowing to Him, repenting your sins, and casting aside your fear are different things... Once that has been done, His mercy will save the pure, and evil will be cleansed away. We angels will sing with joy, the world will be red of poverty, and strife will end. Mankind will be absolved of sin, and an everlasting peace will make this world Paradise.
MC: >I don't get it.*
> I understand.
Remiel: That is only natural. However...
Remiel: Do not forget this. Keep the memory close to your heart. I... want to save all of you.
Remiel: May your path be illuminated by the glory of His light...
Atsuro: ...? Was that Amane? Or... the angel?
MC: > Don't worry about it.*
> It was Remiel.
Atsuro: C'mon, what's up with you? You can tell me. What did she say to you?
MC: > It's a secret.*
> Nothing, really.
Atsuro: That's not cool, MC-kun! Yoohoo's gonna hear about this!
10:30 AM - Nagata-cho
[Contamination Area (Battle)]
Man: No... D-Don't do this! I'm begging you!
SDF Soldier: There will be no exceptions. All demon tamers must be terminated.
Man: *shriek* Someone, help me!
[They shoot him anyway \o/ And blood appears! And then the body disappears!]
Tamer Capt.: All right, we've got the COMP. Let's get back to HQ.
SDF Tamer: Yes, Sir.
SDF Tamer: ...Man, this isn't easy. Our lives may be on the line, but still...
Tamer Capt.: ...Don't think that way. In the long run, this is for the good of the country. The deadline is tomorrow. Just try to do as much as you can until then.
SDF Tamer: Y-Yes Sir! (AWWWW he has this little tiger-bear thing on the strap of his armour. THAT'S SO CUTE)
[MC-kun and co arrive!]
Midori: Hey, aren't those the SDF soldiers we fought yesterday? They're killing demon tamers!
SDF Tamer: Captain! I've got a visual on some demon tamers! I'm counting four targets... Oh my g-- It's...!
Tamer Capt.: Damn it, it's those kids! All teams, prepare to engage!
SDF Tamer: Captain...! We'll hold this location! Please, take the COMPs we've collected back to HQ!
Tamer Capt.: ...Good thinking, soldier! I want you guys to fall back as soon as possible! Those kids aren't like the others!
SDF Tamer: U-Understood, Sir!
Atsuro: If we leave them be, the other demon tamers could be killed!
Midori: I can't allow that...! MC, let's take their COMPs away!
MC: > Let's!
> We'll take 'em, all right!*
[Battle start!]
Tamer Capt.: Don't engage them if you can avoid it! Be careful out there!
SDF Tamer: Understood! We'll escape at the first chance we get!
[Upon defeat:]
SDF Tamer: Y-You monsters!
[You destroyed the COMP! The soldier fell to the ground, unconscious...]
[Upon defeat:]
SDF Tamer: H-How dare you...!
[You destroyed the COMP! The soldier fell to the ground, unconscious...]
[Upon defeat:]
SDF Tamer: Damn... How do these kids do this...?
[You destroyed the COMP! The soldier fell to the ground, unconscious...]
Tamer Capt.: Monsters...! I'm gonna let this COMP go beserk, and you guys are going down with it!
[And things appear! Why the hell did Naoya program a beserk mode anyway...!?]
Tamer Capt.: Kids like you deserve to play with demons!
Atsuro: That dude's nuts! He can't let a COMP go out of control!
[PICK UP COMP WHOO]
Atsuro: All right, the power's off! It's okay now!
[Proceed to Megidoloan the shit out of the Capt.]
Tamer Capt.: Nuahhh! I didn't... calculate this...
[You destroyed the COMP! ...The captain fell to the ground, unconscious...]
[Now defeat the legion and you're good to go \o/]
Yuzu: Do those people really think they'll be rescued if they kill all the demon tamers...? That can't be true! ...It's so stupid.
MC: > They want to get out.*
> They think it's a mission.
Yuzu: ...I know. Everyone's going crazy.
Atsuro: Yeah... Anyone would get desperate in a situation like this. Anyway, we destroyed their COMPs, so they wouldn't be able to do anything too bad.
Yuzu: But... It doesn't matter, if they get their hands on another COMP...
Atsuro: That's a big problem. It's such a pain that we haven't solved anything... Supposedly, some squinty guy wearing orange clothes and a black coat is selling COMPs...
Atsuro: Damn it! That guy's the reason why it's so dangerous and lawless in here!
Atsuro: It makes me kind of sick with myself that I'm starting to think of this as normal...
MC: > Yeah, same here.
> This isn't the time.*
Atsuro: I know... We have to do something about these demons, and put an end to all of this!
11:00 AM - Shinjuku
[??? (Battle)]
Policeman: All right! Chase after them, that way! Don't let them escape!
Atsuro: What the...!? It's pretty noisy over here.
Yuzu: Are there demons running loose again?
Atsuro: I'm not sure... But something doesn't seem right. Let's see what the problem is!
Tamer Cop: Kill the demons! Kill them all!
Atsuro: What's going on...? Are those humans attacking the demons!?
[SUDDENLY--! Like a bolt from the blue--! Dropping down from the sky...]
Tamer Cop: Wh-What the!? Its face is entirely black!
Black Frost: I'm the warrior of love and rage, Black Frost! But you can call me... Frosty! Ho, magical punishment is deserved by all those who prey on the weak! Hee-ho!
Black Frost: Now, my fell-ho demons! I'll hee-hold them back, so run while you can!
Tamer Cop: This thing speaks nonsense! Love and rage!? Is he thinking about retaliating!?
Midori: Magical punishment!? Does that mean he's...!
Yuzu: That demon... It's trying to protect the other demons!
Midori: Um... Ummmm...! It's wrong to pick on the weak, but... they're all demons!
Midori: Arrgghh! MC, I'm so confused!
MC: > Take out the demons
> Help out the demons.*
Midori: What...? R-Really!? Can we!?
Atsuro: ...Yeah. Even though they're demons, we can't sit back and watch a one-sided massacre! (...Then what do you guys do o_____o)
Yuzu: But... But! That means those humans will be our enemies!
Yuzu: Is that... okay...?
Atsuro: But we can't sit back and do nothing! Let's take their COMPs away!
[Battle start!]
Black Frost: Hee-Hmmm! More hee-humans! Are you guys our enemies, too, ho?
Midori: N-No! I'm here to save you!
Black Frost; ...Save us? Hmm... Hey! I remember you!
Midori: ...Huh!? Then you're...!
Black Frost: You taught me the power of love! That's why I worked so hee-hard, ho!
Midori: So you ARE the demon from last time! I was kinda wondering!
Midori: Hey, I have a favor to ask...!
Black Frost: A favor? What, hee-ho?
Midori: We're going to help you, so please don't kill these people!
Black Frost: Ho? But they're hee0horrible! I can't magical punishment them, ho?
Midori: No ho... Er... No! Just take their COMPs away so they can't fight anymore!
Black Frost: Hee-ho... All right! I'll do it!
Tamer Cop: WHat is with you guys? You kids should stand back and watch!
Midori: Human or demon, Magical Dolly never forgives those who prey on the weak! Magical punishment for all the baddies!
Tamer Cop: Arrogant little kids! You're just demons in disguise, aren't you!?
[Atsuro attacks a dude]
Tamer Cop: Stay outta my way!
Atsuro: Sorry, but I'm gonna have to take that COMP away!
[Woohoo megidoloan!]
Tamer Cop: D-Damn it...!
[You destroyed the COMP!]
Tamer Cop: You'll regret this, demon tamer!
[blah blah blah you beat them up!]
Black Frost: Arigaho! (TN: in japanese, Arigatou means "thank you")
Black Frost: Now I see that love truly can leap across the species barrier ho! If you're ever in a tight freeze, I'll come rescue you ho! Until then, hee you later!
Yuzu: I think it meant "tight squeeze..." Phew! I never thought we'd help a demon...
Atsuro: You can say that again. Even more surprising was that a demon was standing up to help its comrades escape.
Midori: Aww... That li'l guy remembered me! Frosty really is doing his best out there.
Yuzu: So that's the same demon you were talking to about love and stuff, isn't it, Midori?
Yuzu: You called him "Frosty"? ...Was it always black!?
Midori: No, I think that's because he tried really hard. He's a lot stronger now! Good job Frosty!
Yuzu: I-I don't think trying hard had anything to do with his color change...
Yuzu: ...Whatever it is, it's still amazing. Does this mean we could just talk to demons...?
MC: > I think so.*
> That would be tough.
Midori: Yeah! Anything's possible when you've got enough love!
11:30 AM - Izuna
[Shinagawa]
[You find Izuna, with a believer from the Shomonkai...
They seem to have fought, and Izuna was the victor. She is trying to interrogate the man.]
Believer: Urgh... You're strong... You lousy demon tamer...!
Izuna: I'm going to ask you one last time. The Shomonkai were behind the incident at Asakusa six months ago, weren't they?
Believer: Nngh... Y-Yes!
Izuna; Why did they do it? Tell me!
Believer: I-It was to kill Jikoku... That's all I know...
Izuna: Jikoku? Who's that?
Believer: It's like a demon that's been in Tokyo since ancient times... We were told that if it was defeated, it would be easier to summon demons...
Izuna: You defeated one demon in order to be able to summon other demons...? That doesn't add up. Asakusa was raided months ago. The summoning program wasn't done. How did the Shomonkai defeat this Jikoku without their summoned COMPs!? Answer me!
Believer: I don't know, I swear! Only Lady Amane and some other ranking members went in! And even then, only Lady Amane and one other person survived the battle... Word is that Lady Amane defeated Jikoku, but that's all I know about it!
Izuna: Amane...? The maiden? She defeated a demon...? What in the world is she?
Believer: ...Ha! It's useless for you to defy the Shomonkai, anyway!
Izuna: Say what?
Believer: All the government could do against us is blockade all of the city of Tokyo! The Shomonkai are different. We have subdued demons and are saving people's lives! As long as we follow the teachings from our founder, we are safe from any calamity! All hail the Founder! All hail Master Belberith!
Izuna: Hey! Stop, or I'll shoot!
Izuna: Blast... He got away.
Atsuro: Izuna!
Izuna: Oh... It's you. Did you see all that?
Atsuro: We were just passing by. ...Why didn't you shoot that guy when he was running away?
Izuna: I'd kill someone to protect the integrity of the lockdown, but just for information...
Atsuro: That's a relief.
Izuna: Huh?
Atsuro: We've figured out something about you, Izuna... You don't think that killing people is going to solve anything in this place.
Izuna: Heh... I'm going soft, then.
Atsuro: That Shomonkai guy said something about defeating Jikoku in Asakusa...? He said it was like a demon, but do you know what it is?
Izuna: No. he said that they defated it in order to make it easier to summon demons later. And when he left, he said, "All hail Master Belberith"...
MC: > That's a demons name.
> It's a new Bel.*
Izuna: What's that?
Atsuro: Huh? Nothing! We've just been hearing all these demons named Bel0this, Bel-that...
Atsuro: So, he's like, "Oh, another Bel!" R-Right, Yuuto!?
Izuna: I see... If that's true, then this "His Majesty" of theirs could be a demon...
Izuna: Anyway, I'd like you to not mention this to anyone. I don't want them finding out what we're up to.
MC: > Okay.
> It's too late for that.*
Izuna: Not yet... The Shomonkai don't really consider us that important right now. Anyway, I'm going to try to probe deeper into their activities. We're low on time.
MC: > Low on time?
> Oh, yeah, tomorrow.*
Izuna: ...The deadline expires tomorrow... 18:00 sharp.
Atsuro: Huh!? 18:00!?
Izuna: That's right. That's why there isn't much time left. I'm going to get going. Be careful, you guys.
Atsuro: 18:00... We knew it would be tomorrow, but to have an actual time now... Damn it!
MC: > We were ready for it.
> We're cutting it close.*
Atsuro: Yeah, seriously...
Atsuro: Well... Getting all mopey about it won't do us any good. Let's just do what we can.
Atsuro: That reminds me of what Izuna and that Shomonkai guy were talking about... Amane defeated Jikoku in Asakusa before the special COMPs were completed, right? Hey, MC-kun, How do you think she did it?
MC: > Through demon summoning.
> With the angel's power.
> Amane's a total badass.*
Atsuro: Come on, what are you talking about? You can't beat demons with just fighting spirit.
Atsuro: That doesn't make any sense. How did Amane manage to defeat Jikoku...?
Atsuro: Well, thinking about it won't help. Let's just keep that question in mind for now.
12:00 AM - Shibuya
[Kaido]
Kaido: Yo, guys.
Atsuro: Kaido...
Kaido: ...You look pissed. Makes sense. Hate me all you want.
MC: > I'm over it.*
> Why did you kill him!?
Kaido: ...? You're... Never mind. It's nothing.
Atsuro: ...True, you just did the same thing Keisuke was doing. I know that! But... why!? You didn't have to go that far!
Kaido: Hey... Aren't you looking at this the wrong way?
Atsuro: Huh...!
Kaido: ...He followed the path he chose himself, all the way to the bitter end. Instead of backing down, he was so proud that he couldn't stop, not even if I kill him.
MC: > ......
> That's just an excuse!*
Kaido: I don't care what you think. Believe whatever you want.
Kaido: ...He and I are alike. We both knew that when we had to fight it would go all the way.
Kaido: Hmph... He had some will. He tried to snap at me to the very end.
Atsuro: Keisuke...
Kaido: ...Sorry for what happened.
Atsuro: Huh...?
Kaido: He must've been a great guy. If we didn't have to meet like that, we could've been buds... And, he was strong... in battle, and in his heart.
Atsuro: ......
Kaido: ...See you. You'd better live through this.
Yuzu: Man... I couldn't say anything to him. It seemed like... Kaido understood Keisuke better than any of us.
MC: > That may be true.*
> I still can't forgive him.
Yuzu: We need to... think a lot more about things from now on...
Atsuro: ...Let's go.
Yuzu: Atsuro...
Atsuro: ...Moaning and crying isn't going to bring Keisuke back.
Atsuro: ...I'm going to do whatever I can now.
Atsuro: That's how I'm going to make it up to Keisuke...
12:30 AM - Shibuya
[Atsuro]
Atsuro: Hey, do you have a second? I want to talk to you about something.
[Atsuro calls you over...]
Atsuro: I've been thinking on my own about some things, and I want you to hear my opinions.
MC: > Go on, then.*
> ......
Atsuro: The power of the demons is amazing. They can do things I thought was impossible. ... I was thinking about having control over them to show the government not to fear them. ...I thought that everything would be solved if we could control the demons. But...
Atsuro: My best friend is dead... Because of a demon...
Atsuro: If there were no demons, Keisuke wouldn't have had to die! I feel helpless!
MC: > Blame yourself, then.*
> ......
Atsuro: ...Sorry for complaining to you all of a sudden.
( If MC chooses "......"
Atsuro: ...Haha, sorry for going all emo on you like that... I didn't mean to complain. )
Atsuro: All right! I'm gonna shape up from here on out! Let's go, MC-kun!
13:00 - Omotesando
[Shoji]
Shoji: *sigh* I'm terrible...
Yuzu: Hey, what's wrong, Shoji?
Shoji: Oh... It's you kids. It's good to see you're still alive...
Shoji: ...A little while ago, members of the Shomonkai were lynching a man...
Yuzu: Oh, no...
Shoji: Of course, I couldn't just watch, so I ran and yelled at them to stop, but...
Shoji: I was too late... And the man... He was the guy who rescued me before...
Yuzu: ...!
Shoji: I owed him my life, but I couldn't save him... Ha... what a laugh. I call myself a journalist and act all big, but I'm weak. Hey... I'm begging you. You kids need to live through this no matter what. See you...
[Shoji leaves.]
Yuzu: H-Hey... Do you think the man who was hanged by the Shomonkai was...?
MC: > It's Gin.
> ......*
Atsuro: It must have been Gin... Damn it! This is our fault... If we hadn't told him...
Atsuro: If we'd thought this was going to happen, we should've gone with him...!
13:30 - Ikebukuro
[Shoji]
Shoji: Hey there! Looks like you're still alive and kicking. Good, good.
Yuzu: Hey, quit acting so surprised.
Shoji: Well, if you can still have that attitude, I've got nothing to worry about.
Yuzu: Gah... By the way, did you learn anything new, Shoji?
Shoji: I do have some new facts percolating around in my brain. It seems the lockdown was crated to keep the demons trapped in here, after all. But they didn't want to admit that to the general public, so they lied about the gas. They also cut off television, radio, and phone reception to lock down information. But this will all end soon... in the worst possible way.
MC: > We know.*
> We're trying to stop it.
Shoji: ...I see, you must. You're trying to do something about it. It's true that the government is going to kill everybody along with the demons...
Yuzu: You really think they'll sacrifice everyone inside the lockdown area?
Shoji: Yes, they'll do it. Not just the people in Tokyo. It's to protect a secret, and any life is worth the price. That's probably why my mentor...
Yuzu: What...?
Shoji: Oh, sorry. That's got nothing to do wiht you. All I can do is cheer you, but I'm expecting a lot from you kids! Good luck!
Yuzu: ...She's gone.
MC: > ......
> She ran away.*
Yuzu: I guess she really didn't want to tell us about that. It seemed to have something to do with the government, so I wonder what it was...
14:00 - Kanda
[Shoji]
Shoji: Oh, it's you kids. What's the matter?
MC: > Just saying hello.
> We have a question.*
MC: > Tell us about your mentor.
> Before you left, you...*
Shoji: ...Right. I left kind of suddenly, but not telling you would be unfair, too. Do you know the "electronic item safety law" put into effect a few years ago? It's more commonly known as the PSE Law.
MC: > We know about it.*
> What's that?
Shoji: You've done your research! That law requires special government approval when recycling electronic items. This law has lots of problems, but the government forced it through. My mentor investigated why... One day, he called me, saying "I'm close to cracking this!" That... was the last time I ever heard his voice.
MC: > What happened to him?
> That sounds like 10BIT.
Shoji: ...You know 10BIT? He was my mentor's friend! Don't tell me he's--
MC: > We've met him in here.
> He's dead.
[You told Shoji about the file 10BIT gave you and the truth behind the PSE law...]
Shoji: I see... So they both pursued the same msytery, and both met the same fate... Because of the government, both of them are...!
Atsuro: Shoji... WHat're you going to do?
Shoji: I don't know yet, but I'm going to get revenge for their deaths. ...One more reason not to give up and die inside this place... Look... No matter what happens, let me deal with this case. Just do me a favor and make sure you survive the lockdown. The more people who know the truth, the better. So... Please.
14:30 - Nagata-cho
[Izuna]
[You find Izuna talking with a member of the Shomonkai. Izuna seems to be trying desperately to convince the believer of something...]
Believer: B-But... It is said that Master Belberith will save us!
Izuna: Look around! Now's not the time to fall back on your dogma. I won't say a word to anyone about what you tell me.
Izuna: Please, believe me. I want to save you all! I want to save this entire country!
Believer: Aaahhh... D-Do you promise? You won't tell anyone that I helped you?
Izuna: I swear it. Please, tell me. How did Amane defeat Jikoku without a COMP?
Believer: Th-That's...
Amane: ...I am here.
Izuna: ...!? The maiden of Shomonkai... So, you're Amane...
Amane: You were searching for me, correct? I will answer your questions.
Izuna: I see... That'll help things go faster. Six months ago, you defeated Jikoku in Asakusa. However, neither the summoning program nor the altered COMPs had been completed yet. How then, did you defeat Jikoku!?
Amane: I borrowed the power of Jezebel, who is Master Belberith's subordinate. Master Belberith is a higher being, revered by the Shomonkai. My father formed a contract with Master Belberith, who then sent Jezebel into me. I called to her, and used that power to defeat Master Jikoku.
Izuna: Jezebel... There's... a demon inside you?
Amane: ...Indeed. Summoning a demon wtihout the assistance of the program uses a vast amount of mental energy. After using my powers to summon Jezebel, I fell unconscious for several days. Jezebel, who had been wounded in the battle, still recovers within me...
Izuna: In other words, you're the only one that can use that power then... ...We can't have the Shomonkai doing anything they please anymore. Demon tamers with altered COMPs are dangerous enough. A human that can summon demons without a COMP is much worse... ...We can't let you live like this. I'm sorry, but you have to die here.
Amane: Don't be a fool. Your power cannot possibly defeat me... Even if you were somehow able to kill me, you would still not meet your objective.
Izuna: ...!? What do you mean?
Amane: If I should fall, Jezebel will be released into this world. Are you prepraed to fight me, and then deal with her once she is free of my body?
Izuna: Ngh...!
Amane: Then, if you will excuse us... Please, do not strain yourselves.
Izuna: ...Tch! We're risking our lives, too! I have to do this... I'll find a way to stop the Shomonkai, somehow...
Yuzu: Yuuto... Did you hear that?
MC: > I heard.*
> ......
Yuzu: Amane said that the demon inside her defeated Jikoku...
Atsuro: Yeah... I can't imagine what it would be like to have a demon inside me... Still... Jezebel, huh?
MC: >Another Bel.
> This is complicated.
Atsuro: Yeah. And the demon the Shomonkai follow is Belberith, right? The Founder made a contract with it, and as a result Jezebel was sent into Amane... Umm... This whole Jezebel thing is confusing me.
MC: > She's Belberith's minion.
> How so?*
Atsuro: Well, think about it a little.
Atsuro: Jezebel is Belberith's subordinate, but they're both "Bel-" demons.
Yuzu: Wait, the demons with "Bel" in their names are fighting over who will be the next king... So why is Jezebel working for Belberith? Does this mean that not all the "Bel-" demons are fighting each other? Or is it because Jezebel knows that Belberith is stronger than her?
Atsuro: We don't know that much yet... Well, it'll probably help if we remember those names.
15:00 - Shinjuku
[???]
Gigolo: My, my, my... Hello there, MC. What a coincidence that we'd meet here.
MC: > You planned this.
> I know!*
( If MC-kun chooses "You planned this.":
Gigolo: Hah...You're a cynic, aren't you? Well, maybe, maybe not.)
Gigolo:Regardless, it seems that tomorrow may be the day we all say our goodbyes to the world. Long ago, at the beginning of everything... God took seven days and nights creating the heavens, the earth, and everything in them. ...That's the same amount of time being used to test the world. Now... Who wanted this ordeal to happen in the first place?
MC: > What do you mean?
> I don't know.*
Gigolo: Hahahaha! No, you wouldn't would you?
(If MC chooses "What do you mean?":
Gigolo: I mean this situation you're in right now. Weren't you listening?)
Gigolo: The world's in your hand, then you look down and see you're standing on someone's palm...That kind of thing happens all the time. Ha ha...
MC: > Who are you?
> What's your point.*
Gigolo: Eh? Oh, just forget about it. I'm tired of talking about it, anyway. Whatever. I think I'll pass some information along to you.
(If MC chooses "Who are you?":
Gigolo: Now, just who could I be...? You're trying to figure out what my intenions are, huh?)
Gigolo: You're already aware of the fight for the Throne of Bel, aren't you?
MC: > Of course.
> Somewhat.
Gigolo: Hmm, good. Then let me fill you in on this war you've gotten yourself dragged into. Of all the Bels that have appeared in this world, there are frive left.
The mnost powerful and closest to obtaining the throne of Bel is Belberith. And, he has two of the other Bels accompnying him.
MC: > Is Jezebel one of them?
> Two Bels?
Gigolo: You seem confused. Haven't you heard of Belzaboul yet? I may have said too much...Well, who cares! I might as well tell you. Belzaboul is the right hand of darkness. He was originally as powerful as Belberith... Unfortunately, he's serving a rather troublesome force himself...Anyway, I don't know why, but Belzaboul's boss ordered him to work under Belberith. ...Well, I can't even come close to what someone like him would be thinking. That reminds me... I heard he was planning on visiting this world himself sometime soon. Heh heh heh... I hope you all get the chance to meet him.
MC: > Is Jezebel one of them? *
Gigolo: ...Hm? You know that Jezebel is inside Amane, don't you? Belberith placed Jezebel within Amane to act as his agent in the human world. It seemed his interests coincided with those of the man who founded Shomonokai.
Gigolo: And while we're on the subject of Belberith...The worship of the Shomonkai seems to have given him a great deal of power. ...If he becomes the King of Bel, many demons will choose to obey him, that's for sure.
MC: > Will Belberith be king?*
> I won't let him be king!
Gigolo: If things keep going like they have been, he certainly will.
( If MC chooses "I won't let him be king!"
Gigolo: You've got spirit, but if things keep going the way they have, he won't be stopped.)
Gigolo: Heh...The demons will gain a powerful leader, and the war against God can finally begin. What a shame... They keep telling the humans that this is part of God's ordeal. If you trace it all back, the humans just got dragged into the war of angels and demons.
MC-kun: > It's not about humanity?
> It looks that way.
(If MC chooses "It's not about humanity?"
Gigolo: Well...You're not unrelated, but humanity only got invovled fairly recently. )
Gigolo: It's not like I care about this stuff all that much, anyway. Now, I wonder what kind of world we'll see if you win the war for the Throne of Bel... Heh... I'm really looking forward to that. I've got a box seat for this show. Anyway, it seems that defeating Belial will be your biggest obstacle today. I'll be watching your activites with interest, as always...
[And then he teleports in a flash of blue! Whee!]
Yuzu: H-He disappeared again...! Who in the world is he? What in the world is he...!?Yuzu: Well...Belberith huh? And he's got two more of the Bel demons with him...
Atsuro: Yeah... But we have to worry about Belial first. Let's get our death clocks off of 0 today, then think about what happens later...
15:30 - Shinjuku
[Shoji]
Shoji: Oh-ho, we meet again. Is everything going A-Okay for all of you?
Yuzu: Oh, Shoji! It's not that great, but I guess we're pulling through. How about you? Did you find out anything new?
Shoji: Mmmm, somewhat. I did learn a few things... It seems the Shomonkai are intentionally distributing these altered COMPs.
Yuzu: Yeah, we know about that.
Shoji: Really? I thought I had a real scoop. Dang!
Yuzu: But, we don't know why. Aren't they better off if they keep that power to themselves?
Shoji: Yeah, you'd think so, right? I looked into it... and found the terrifying truth!
Shoji: ...The Shomonkai's goal is to completely turn Tokyo into the demon world. With more and more demon tamers summoning demons, it's happening even faster!
MC: > So what'll happen then?
> ......*
Shoji: Well, this is how I heard it from a believer, so I don't know how true it is... If this keeps up, "His Majesty," that is, some demon named Belberith... ...is going to be able to be summoned into this world!
Yuzu: Belberith... That Shomonkai member we spoke to earlier said the same thing...
Shoji: I guess summoning Belberith will let them overcome God's ordeal or something. But if demons keep on coming, Tokyo's going to be hell on earth even before then. I'm having trouble telling the truth from fiction anymore. Anyway, you guys be careful!
Yuzu: Hey, what did she mean, they want to turn Tokyo into the demon world!?
MC: > It's not going to happen.*
> We won't let it happen!
Atsuro: But... if it's true, then we need to stop it!
16:00 - Suidobashi
[Tokyo Dome - Battle]
Boy: Waaaah!
Woman: Come on, this way! Hurry! It's too dangerous to stay here!
Yuzu: ...What's the matter!?
Woman: What's the matter!? Demon tamers started fighting each other right next to us! If'n it weren't for that cop, I don't think we'd'a made it outta there... This is exactly why ya can't trust demon tamers! Seriously!
Yuzu: Wha--How could they...!? I can't believe this! Let's stop them, MC-kun!
Woman: Are you dumb? It's dangerous! When you get yer heads cut off don't come cryin' to me!
[Scene change!]
Office Girl: Th-Thank you so much! You saved me!
Policeman: There's no time for thanks! Just run as far as you can!
Office Girl: Y-Yes, Sir!
Policeman: Damn... How am I supposed to stop a fight between a bunch of demon tamers!?
[DADADADA-- THE SUMMON RANGERS ARRIVE ON SCENE!]
Policeman: Y-You guys...! It's too dangerous here! Get back!
Midori: It's okay, Mr Policeman Sir! We're demon tamers too! Don't worry! We'll stop this fight in no time!
Policeman: ...You came to stop them!? I-I see...
Policeman: I can't allow that! Please, don't make this fight bigger than it already is!
MC: > You're powerless against them.*
> We'll be careful.
Policeman: Hmmm... All right. I suppose the only thing I can do is trust you guys. But please be careful! Their lives are worth just as much as yours!
Midori: Thank you for your concern, but we'll be just fine!
Policeman: ...Are you the ones going around helping people? I've heard the rumors!
Midori: Hehehe! Are we super famous now? Did we become real heroes!?
Policeman: Hey, don't let it get to your heads. This isn't a joke! I'm counting on you guys.
[POLICEMAN LEAVES. And now we see thugs! And people!]
Tamer Thug: Hey, if you know what's best for you, you'll leave those COMPs right here! We won't go easy on you just because you're chicks!
Tamer: You arrogant bastard! Being stronger than us doesn't mean you can win! Don't underestimate us!
Yuzu: Hey, you guys! What do you think you're doing!?
Tamer: Oh no... Are they demon tamers too!? We're surrounded!
Tamer2: ...Last minute participants, eh? Good! We'll just have to take your COMPs too!
Yuzu: Whaaaat!?
Tamer Thug: Wow, talk about luck! Now I'll have even more COMPs!
Atsuro: Geez, these guys are serious! As long as they have COMPs, they won't stop fighting!
Midori: Then we'll have to take the COMPs away!
[Battle start!]
[Demon tamers are fighting each other...]
MC: > Stop fighting!*
> Why are you fighting!?
Tamer: You're a bunch of arrogant kids! I'll show you how scary adults can be!z
Yuzu: What's the point of attacking other humans in times like this!?
[Yuzu beats him up.]
Tamer: W-Whoa!
[You destroyed the COMP!]
Tamer: Aaahh...! I-I can't fight anymore!
Atsuro: What's the point of attacking other humans in times like this!?
[And then you beat the rest of them up because I'm lazy.]
Atsuro: It's over...
Midori: I won't allow anyone to use COMPs for bad things!
Yuzu: It might all end tomorrow... WHy are people doing things like this...?
MC: > People are desperate.*
> They want to escape.
Yuzu: Huh? What do you mean?
Atsuro: ...Demon tamers can see the death clocks. They must know there isn't much time left. That makes them even more desperate to get stronger and get out of the lockdown zone. ...It'll take power to get past the SDF, right?
Yuzu: ...! That's... It won't be good if that's what they're trying to do!
Atsuro: Yeah... It's only a matter of time before people start seriously considering breaking out. ...Even if the blockades are being protected by angels. We don't have much time left...

Honda: ...How can this be!? Demons are killing the SDF... But this is our chance... If we do this right, we may be able to get out...!
Worker: Y-Yeah...! We can escape now! Let's make a break for it!
Worker: W-Wait! Take me with you!
[SHINY BLUE FLASH OF LIGHT]
Worker: ...Whoa! What was that!?

Worker: Uwaaaaahhh!
[Shiny blue light makes them disappear!]
Honda: Ghh...! How can angels be algined with the government!?
Decarabia: What's this...? Angels killing humans? This is going to really scar the humans counting on you to answer their prayers!
Power: There are no words for you, demons. We have reason to purge those tainted by you.
Honda: No...! With the Self Defense Force gone, we could finally have escaped...! But now we'll just be pulled into their battle!
Atsuro: H-Hey... Isn't that Honda!?
Yuzu: ......!? The demons are fighting with angels!
Yuzu: What should we do...!? They're going to pull innocent people into this!

Decarabia: Kekeke...! Blood... I smell blood...! I'll devour you!
Decarabia: I offer this tainted blood in the name of our dark master!
Power: ...Children of men, if your hearts are pure, God's grace will save you. We became involved in this barricade to save the righteous.
Honda: ...Save people? Do you know how many people died in this lockdown!?
Power: The hearts of fools are tainted by demons... Repent and await judgement, or die here... Which fate will you choose?
Midori: ...What? What do you mean, die here?
Honda: So the angels will eradicate all beings who don't align with God's will! Some God!
Power: Those who fall from the path and cannot return are no longer children of men. For a righteous world, it is within reason for them to be purged...
[Beat up the Power in your way. It was in your way =|]
Power: ...Trifling humans! Angels, to me!
Power: Fools that spit in the direction of heaven! You will be eradicated!
Power: Ah... Angels! Bring they light to this world...!
Tamer: L-Let's escape now, while we still can!
Power: ...Son of men, that cannot be allowed. Your lives must end here.
Yuzu: ......!? What do you mean!?
******* MC: > We should escape too!
> We can't let them go!
Atsuro: A-Are you serious, Yuuto? If we do that, everyone in the barricade will die...! Are you saying we'll sacrifice all those people just so we can save ourselves!?
MC: > Yes, we have to escape.
> Maybe you're right...
Atsuro: Damn it... I tried to stop you... I take no responsibility for this!
Honda: I see... I owe you. Thanks.
Yuzu: Geez... I guess there's no ohter way! Now that we're doing it, we've gotta live!
[Honda escapes.]
Honda: ...I won't forget you guys. I'll be waiting outside the barricade.
[Other dude escapes.]
Tamer: I... I can go home! I can get outside the barricade!
[...Damn it. The last angel suicided on us. Stupid thing.]
Atsuro: ...We defeated 'em. But dude, we killed angels too! I hope we avoid divine punishment...
Yuzu: With Honda outside the barricade, the final judgement will come soon! Hurry, Yuuto!
Atsuro: H-Hey... Are you serious!? We can still turn back...
Yuzu: One or two people won't make that much difference! Come on, let's go home!
Atsuro: Oh... Yeah... Okay...
After defeating the angels that confronted them, you and your friends broke through the lockdown and headed home. When you arrived, though, you learned of the tragedy that occurred inside the lockdown. Soon after your escape, a mighty bolt of lighting struck nside the Yamanote circle and reportedly killed all who remained within. However, the true calamity came next. From the sky, a host of angels appeared to watch over mankind and place it under the strict control of Heaven. A world without free will, where man must obey God wihtout exception, is about to begin...

Midori: Demons really exist too, so it shouldn't be that much of a surprise.

Yuzu: I wonder what Honda was asking him about...
Atsuro: Do you think he was asking for anything? Couldn't they just be working together for survival in this harsh world? That makes sense.

MC: > We can't do that.
> We should consider it.
Yuzu: Yeah, but... Can we really change this whole mess in just one more day?
Yuzu: It's gonna pass by so quickly, and if we fail... I'm too scared to even think of it...

Gigolo: ...You lost the qualifications to fight Belial. Good for you. You didn't try, but now you don't have to die. The slightest thing can tamper with fate. ...The death of the one you were involved with may have changed the future. Then again... That's not really a downside for you, is it? You've got your last day coming up. You'd better enjoy it. Don't give up!
[The death clock goes from reading 0 to reading 1]
Atsuro: Huh? Hey, wasn't that guy just now...?
Atsuro: H-Hey, Yuuto! What're you staring off into space for?
MC: > Our death clocks say 1.
> Something weird happened.*
Atsuro: What? Why are you staring over my head...?
MC: > Our death clocks say 1.
> ......*
Atsuro: Hey, are you all right? C'mon! Tell us!
MC: > Our death clocks say 1.*
> ......
Atsuro: They did!? Are you serious!?
MC: > We changed our destiny.
> We won't fight Belial.*
Atsuro: ...! Don't tell me... Did that guy come to tell us that?
Atsuro: We're not fighting Belial...? Wh's that?
Atsuro: I'm glad our death clocks changed, but... Is this something to be happy about?
MC: > I doubt it.*
> We'll be fine.
Atsuro: Did... Did we mess something up!? Damn... I don't know...
Midori: ...Did we do something wrong?
18:30 - Shiba Park
[Tokyo Tower - Battle]
Sage of Time: Now, right this way, everyone. Offer your souls to me of your own volition.
[The scene shows some old geezer looking demon like thing by one of those demon-spawning points, with several demons nearby. An OL walks a few steps towards it, looking confused.]
Atsuro: Hey... What's going on over there?
Yuzu: Those people look like they're sleep-walking or something...
Sage of Time: Ah, a new guest. Come over here and hand me your soul.
MC: > Sure, why not?*
> No.
Yuzu: Are you stupid, Yuuto!? What are you saying!?
Sage of Time: ...? That's strange. I didn't know there were humans who could resist my spell...
Decarabia: Can we have them then, oh wise Sage of Time? We're famished!
Sage of Time: ...Hmm, very well. You can eat the humans who won't fall under my spell. But don't touch the others. If you eat them, their souls go too...
[There's a couple other people who also walk towards creepy dude.]
Yuzu: What's going on here? He's controlling people to collect souls, like some kind of god!
Atsuro: Those people are hypnotized! If we don't wake them up, they're in a lot of trouble!
Yuzu: Yeah...! If we get close to them, maybe we can wake them up!
[You talk to one of them..]
Yuzu: Hey, get a hold of yourself! Please wake up!
Worker: Huh...? What... What was I doing? Whaaa? It's a demon!
Sage of Time: ... You obnoxious kids! How dare you break my spell!? Minions, eat them alive!
Decarabia: Ohyohyohyo! They look so tassssty!
[You broke the trance!]
Office Girl: Hm.. Mmm... What the--!? What am I doing here!? Ahhh! Demons!
[One of them reaches an exit point.]
Worker: I'm saying thank you! Just in case...
[Another girl appears!]
Office Girl: Zzz... Wooww... A dream world... here... Zzzz...
Sage of Time: Right this way... Offer your souls to me of your own volition...
Midori: O-Oh no! If we don't defeate h8im, he's just gonna keep bringing more people here!
[Midori attacks the Sage of Time]
Sage of Time: Hahaha! Ignorant, ignorant, ignorant! Your souls will be eaten as well!
[Holy dance!]
Sage of Time: What...!? Defeated by... mere humans!? How frustrating! Grahhhh!
Yuzu: Weee, we did it! He was really strong, too!
Atsuro: ...Man, what a ridiculous demon... Eating people's souls... Sheesh...
Yuzu: Things are gonna get worse if more demons like that appear...
Atsuro: Man... I shudder to think what would happen if a demon like him got out of the lockdown...
[Aside: Talk to your party.
Atsuro: Why don't we have to fight Belial anymore...? I'm glad our death clocks changed... But should we be happy about this?]
19:00 - Shibuya
[Atsuro & Yuzu]
Yuzu: It's night already... Tomorrow at 18:00, the government's going to take action... and we're all dead.
MC: > It'll be all right.
> I'm worried.
Yuzu: Really...? Do you really think it'll all turn out okay...?
Atsuro: Izuna seemed to be stuck, too... We can't count on anyone else to help us now.
Yuzu: ...Yeah. That demon Jezebel, the one in Amane... It defeated Jikoku, right?
Yuzu: Knowing that doesn't help us with anything...
Atsuro: Hmmm... If Jezebel's inside Amane, there's nothing we can do about it...
Atsuro: *sigh* There's nothing the special forces can do, then...
Midori: That's why we have to do our best. We can't give up, not even at the last second!
Atsuro: Besides the government, we can't expect the angels to pull any strings to help us...
Atsuro: No matter what happens, they probably won't forgive humans until we take responsibility.
MC: > Those angels piss me off.
> We must stop the demons.
Atsuro: Yeah... Their attitude makes me sick.
Atsuro: Luckily, being able to control the demons will be enough to get them off our backs...
Yuzu: Whew... I feel exhausted all of a sudden... Hey, why don't we get some rest soon?
Atsuro: Yeah, that's a good idea.
Midori: No matter how much we laugh or cry, it all ends tomorrow. Let's make sure it ends well!
Yuzu: Yeah! Well... Let's get ready for bed!
From: YUZ
Subject: What do we do!?
---
I'm so scared. I just want 2 get up and run away, even while im typing this.
Every1 has their own thoughts, but this isn't something we can handle by ourselves...
If only we can get the govmint to delay their plan to kill us all... Is there nething we can do???
[When you finish reading email, a familiar-looking man comes up to you...]
Gigolo: Oh my, we meet again. I'm glad to see that you made it out alive. Well done! But, you know... Everyone's going to die tomorrow. That's a sad thing.
MC: > It's not over yet.
> Oh my, you're right.
Gigolo: Oh my, are you mocking me? You're not all that, you know. Well, whatever you think, you may be able to change that destiny in the remaining time.
MC: > Really?*
> How!?
Gigolo: Ha... You can believe me, or not. You're free to decide. People's thoughts are useful. Oddly enough, Naoya's summoning program proved that. If you use that power to your advantage, you can change the world... Or your destiny. ...Walk the path with those sympathetic to you and with whom you would share destiny.
MC: > Who's that?
> What path?*
Gigolo: Well... Didn't you receive an email from that person, just a moment ago? I believe that's the invitation to go forth, hand in hand, into destiny. Then again, now is the only time you can take that path... Whether you live or die is up to you. Think about what's going to happen once it ends. Anyway, tomorrow is the last day. I wish you the best of luck.
[The man disappears before your eyes...]
19:30 - Shibuya
[Yuzu]
Yuzu: Hey, Yuuto... We only have one day left, you know? At 18:00 tomorrow, we're... What can we do? Is there any other way out but death? I don't want to die!
Yuzu: ...Hey, what would happen if we broke through the lockdown and escaped?
MC: > The final option is used.
> The angels take over.*
Yuzu: Do you really think that will happen? I mean, once we're out, there will be no reason to hide the existence of demons. The lockdown will be meaningless then. Would they still use the final option...? I don't think that even the angels would do something that pointless.
Midori: Ehh... I'm against that idea. It's way too dangerous.
Yuzu: But...! The time limit's gonna end tomorrow and we'll all die! Are you all fine with that!?
Yuzu: I don't want that to happen! We did everything we could for the past week! And even now, we don't know anything for sure! We don't even know if we'll survive! Escaping the lockdown is better than dying in the street!
Midori: Urgh... Yuzu...
Yuzu: Let's get out of the lockdown! Make sure we survive, then we can find a way to deal with the demons!
Yuzu: Yuuto... I... I just don't want to die! Let's get out of here, okay...?
MC: > I need to think.*
> Okay.
Yuzu: Yeah... Sorry... Take your time. I'll be waiting.
19:30 - Shibuya
[Yuzu]
Yuzu: I... I want to go shopping, and see movies with you, Yuuto! I want to go to the beach in the summer, and go skiing in the winter! [ =) ]
Yuzu: ...... [ =( ]
Yuzu: Yuuto... I... I just don't want to die! Let's get out of here, okay...?
MC: > I need to think.
> Okay.
Yuzu: Really!?
Atsuro: H-Hey, wait! To get out... You know we'll have to fight the SDF and the angels, right?
Yuzu: ...It's better than dying! I mean, they started the lockdown in the first place!
Atsuro: But... Hmm...
Atsuro: Haha, it's still no use.
Yuzu: ...?
Atsuro: I'm trying to think it over, but I don't have any better ideas. Still, think about it.
Atsuro: If we fight the SDF, we'll be fighting the government. We'll be criminals, at best!
Yuzu: I... I don't want to do this, either! But if they're going to kill us anyway, what are we supposed to do!?
Yuzu: I don't want you and Atsuro to die, Yuuto...
Yuzu: I can't let it happen!
Atsuro: Yuzu...
Atsuro: Thanks, but... We all feel that way. Even then, aren't we the only ones with a chance of changing this situation? Can't we do more than run away?
Atsuro: Even then, you want us to abandon everything we fought for and run for the hills?
MC: > I'm thinking it over.
> Sounds good to me.
Atsuro: Look, even Yuuto thinks we should slow down. Let's think this over again, okay...?
19:30 - Shibuya
[Yuzu]
Yuzu: I... I want to go shopping, and see movies with you, Yuuto! I want to go to the beach in the summer, and go skiing in the winter! [ =) ]
Yuzu: ...... [ =( ]
Yuzu: Yuuto... I... I just don't want to die! Let's get out of here, okay...?
MC: > I need to think.
> Okay.
Atsuro: Yuuto... You're serious? You're fine with abandoning everything and running away?
MC: > I'm still thinking.
> That's fine with me.
Atsuro: Haha... You too, Yuuto? Man... Are you really okay with this!?
Midori: No! There's no way we can do it! You're putting everyone in the Yamanote circle in danger!
Yuzu: ...Are you saying you're okay with us all dying if time runs out!?
Midori: Argh! I'm getting all confused! I can't think straight right now...!
Atsuro: Well, that was bound to happen.
Yuzu: ...I'm sorry for being selfish, but... I don't want everyone to die.
Yuzu: If you die here, all our work will have been for nothing!
Atsuro: In any case... If we're going to escape, it'd be good if we could limit any casualties...
Yuzu: Right. We can't go around recklessly hurting people, either. Let's look around and make sure we get out of here with as little fighting as we can.
