Tokyo in Ruins [Kasumigaseki - Hibiya Park]
[Available from Day 1 - 2nd?{}]
Lowly-looking men are swarming the vending machines...
Man in Fancy Shirt: Hurry up! Someone's gonna come!
Blonde Man: Don't rush me! I can't get them in the bag... Oh, crap!
Desperate Officer: ...Hey! What're you doing there!?
Man in Fancy Shirt: Tch... This isn't good! Scram!
Desperate Officer: Ah...! Hold it right there!
The policeman chases after the men...
Daichi: Oh my god... Are you serious!?
Daichi: Dude, Hiro... What's up with that?
The vending machines have been broken into, their contents stolen...
Daichi: This is the first time I've seen something like this. It's getting really bad around here.
Daichi: *sigh* I really hate stuff like this.
> Yeah, it's scary.
> I'm thirsty.
Daichi: Did they steal everything that was in there...? I'm gonna go see...
Daichi pokes around the vending machines...
Daichi: Hey, it's our lucky day! There's some stuff left!
Daichi: ...A lot left, actually. I'll leave some money and take enough for everyone. Wait...
Daichi returns with a troubled look on his face...
Daichi: ...Hiro. There was a whole bunch of this...
Daichi: "The miraculous union of wheat grass and caffeine! Refresh your body and mind!"
Daichi: ...And give me the heaves, probably... Uck.
Daichi: I mean, what does it say about this drink if not even starving looters take it?
Daichi: Well, Hiro? Wanna try it?
> Sounds delicious.
> Let's not.
> Chug! Chug!
Daichi: I mean, Hiro. Right now, this vending machine's the only thing that's wrecked.
Daichi: But if this situation keeps up, is the whole city going to end up this way?
Daichi: ......
Daichi: ...Nonononono! That can't be! Haha...
Daichi is smiling, but he looks somewhat worried...
Hard Bargain [Tenjinbashi-Suji - Ten 7 Mall]
[I'm missing the script when you do this event before finding the location of Keita's death clip]
Daichi starts talking to you...
Daichi: H-Hey, Hiro... Should we be wandering around at a time like this...?
Daichi: We know the place in the death clip, so shouldn't we be going to Bickman soon...?
[If you've saved Keita, you get this introduction instead.]
Vendors line the streets. It seems the businesses are still full of life.
Daichi: Hey, Hiro. I'm impressed with Osaka. They're still doing business here.
Daichi: Even with their stores destroyed! Wow...
Street Vendor: Welcome! Come on down, boys! First come, first served.
Daichi: Hmm...? H-Hey... That's...!
A selection of bread, snacks, and drinks are available...
Daichi: Oh, wow! There's a lot of stuff!
Street Vendor: Buy a lot! I'll make it cheap!
Daichi: You want something, Hiro? I'm going to get some juice... Wait.
Daichi: "The fantastic fusion of natural spring water and takoyaki puree!"
Daichi: Good lord. My stomach hurts just thinking about it...
Street Vendor: Hey, Mister. That's the last one we have!
Daichi: Seriously!? I actually kind of want it now... What should I do?
Daichi: ...All right, fine. I'm taking this one, Hiro! Gotta live it up in Osaka!
Street Vendor: Thanks! That'll be 3,000 yen!
Daichi: Oh, okay. Let me just get... Three thousand... Three... Thousand... Th-Th-Th...
Daichi: Whaat!? THREE THOUSAND YEN!?
> What a ripoff!
> Is it that expensive?
> Supply and demand...
The street vendor glares at you...
Street Vendor: What's your problem? You should be grateful I'm even offering to sell to you!
Daichi: Oh crap... Is he pissed off? I-It's okay, Hiro... No need to push our luck...
Street Vendor: Well, what're you gonna do, kid? Make up your mind already.
Daichi: Uh... Well... I don't have... 3,000 yen with me right now...
Street Vendor: Then quit manhandling the merchandise and get outta here! Lousy window shoppers!
Daichi: All right, all right, sorry!
You and Daichi run away...
Daichi: Holy crap, that was scary! Osaka's a deathtrap!
Daichi: *sigh* This is a scary time to be in such a scary place...
[If you've saved Keita.]
Daichi slumps his shoulders...
Daichi: A-Anyway, let's hurry and go to Bickman. This isn't the time to be doing this.
You and Daichi walk away...
Weary Daichi [Sakae - Yamada Park]
[I don't think this is available if Jungo dies?]
Daichi is staring off into space...
> Hey.
> Boo!
> What's up?
Daichi: I was just remembering how it was when I was captured... Man, it was scary.
> You're all right now.
> Are you hurt?
Daichi: But why are we getting dragged into these scary situations?
Daichi: We've just been going with the flow this whole time, but is it the right thing to do?
Daichi: We've almost died, more than once! It's like an action movie.
> That's true.
> This is real life.
> More like a horror movie.
Daichi: I mean, we fight and fight, but there's no end in sight.
Daichi: I kind of wish something would come along and wipe them all out at once.
Daichi: Don't you think, Hiro?
> Yes.
> No.
> What "something"?
Daichi: ...And we're not even adults! I wish they'd go easy on us...
Jungo: ...Daichi.
Daichi: Huh? Oh, hey Jungo. What's up?
Jungo: You look tired. I brought you something.
Daichi: Really? Oh, uh, thanks... WHAT IS THIS!?
Daichi: "Lots of energy for tired bodies! Contains over 1000mg of miso!"
Daichi: Even 1mg of miso is too much!
Jungo: ...I don't want you to think Nagoya's a bad place. I want you to feel better with this.
Daichi: Oh, uh... That's really nice of you, but... What is it?
Jungo: Mhm... Fumi said it was scientifically proven to be the best energy drink.
Jungo: So you should have it.
Daichi: ...Fumi? I've got a bad feeling about this...
Daichi: ......
Daichi: Th-Thanks, Jungo! I'm feeling a lot better now! See?
Jungo: ......
Daichi: Honest! Take this drink to someone who needs it.
Daichi: Or maybe somebody who really, REALLY loves the taste of miso. Okay?
Daichi returns the Misovitan D to Jungo...
Jungo: ......
Jungo: Mhm... Okay. I'm glad you feel better.
Jungo: I'll find someone else to give this to, then. ...Bye-bye.
[Jungo leaves.]
Daichi: Phew... I feel bad for Jungo, but that stuff is no joke, man.
Daichi: But who's Jungo going to try to give it to now...?
Jungo's Voice: Hi, Io. I have something for you...
Daichi: ...Nooooooo! Don't drink it!
Daichi runs after Jungo...
At a Loss [Shibuya - South Exit]
Daichi strikes up a conversation...
Daichi: Hey, Hiro. Can I ask you something?
> What about?
> Is it the black scar?
Daichi: Look, just what was that black scar? It's gotta be against the laws of nature...
Daichi: And what can we do against somebody who can make that!?
Daichi: Honestly... What do you think about it?
> It's scary.
> It's exciting.
> Meh.
Daichi: Here's how I see it... Things are getting really, really bad. Like, hopeless.
Daichi: It's just the whole feeling I get... It's like... there's nothing we can do about it...
Daichi: Hey, Hiro... I feel like it's all over for Japan.
Makoto: ...Shijima, Kageyama. There you guys are.
Daichi: Hm...? Makoto? What's up?
Makoto: Well... I came to check on you. I was worried about you
Daichi: You were?
Makoto: ...You looked the most shocked when I showed you the black scar...
Makoto: Perhaps it was just my imagination...
Daichi: Well... It's shocking, but...
Daichi: JP's is going to do something about it, right? I can't think that we're totally helpless...
Makoto: It's difficult to say.
Makoto: But you guys are the ones with the skills to be at the core of JP's. We'll need your help.
Daichi: N-No no no no! That's impossible! I mean...
Daichi: A-Ask someone else to do it! I pass! I walk away!
Makoto: ......
> Me too!
> Don't be so scared.
> Just kill me now!
Makoto: ...I'm sorry. I know that we adults aren't as dependable as we should be.
Daichi: Oh, uh...
Makoto: Please, don't dwell on it too much. Goodbye.
Makoto walks away...
Daichi: Oh... She's gone.
Daichi: I mean, I'm just a high school kid! I should be scared! Right?
> Yeah.
> I don't know.
Daichi: We can't do anything about that black scar...!
Daichi: See ya, Hiro. Thanks for listening... Hahaha...
Daichi walks away...
Dependence [Tenjinbashi-Suji - Ten 7 Mall]
Daichi is walking through a shopping center. No other people are in sight...
Daichi: Hey, Hiro. There’s nobody here anymore. I guess they’ve all been evacuated.
Daichi: There were a lot of people here on Monday... It makes you feel lonely. ...Huh?
You hear Hinako yelling over to you...
Hinako’s Voice: Hey! Great timing! Two customers, coming up!
Daichi: What? I’ve got a bad feeling about this.
> I agree.
> I have a good feeling.
> What are the odds?
[Hinako shows up.]
Hinako: Yo, Hiro, Daichi! What’re you wasting time over here for!?
Daichi: Crap! She’s already here...
Hinako: So listen, we’re chasing some bad guys who’re abusing the summoning app.
Hinako: They’re really fast, though, so it’s hard to catch them… Can you help?
Daichi: Someone’s abusing the demon app? What a pain... Can’t you handle this, Hinako?
Hinako: Quiet, you. They’re slippery. I mean, they even got away from me!
Daichi: ...Gah! Are they that tough?
Hinako: What, are you scared? Don’t worry! It’ll be easy if we all go against him!
Daichi: Are you serious? I’ll go round up everyone else, then. Then it’ll be super easy!
Hinako: No, that’ll take too long! They’ll be miles away if we don’t hurry!
Daichi: S-So it’s just gonna be us? I mean, sure… I just have to make sure I’m ready first.
> Hurry it up!
> Are you scared?
Daichi: Not you, too, Hiro... Fine, I’m going, I’m going. --What?
Man’s Voice: Gahhhhh...!
Daichi: Huh!? What was that!?
Hinako: Dang it! Maybe they’ve hurt someone because we’re taking too long over here!
Hinako: ...I have to go! Follow me, okay!?
Daichi: Wait! We should all go together... Or you can run off by yourself...
[Keita shows up.]
Keita: ...Hey. Were you after these maggots?
Daichi: Whuh!? Keita!?
Hinako: Hey, Keita! Was that you fighting them? So all that shouting was...?
Keita: ...They’re really rude. I smashed their cell phones, along with their faces.
Hinako: Really? Man, I’m impressed! Thanks!
Keita: Hmph. I don’t know why you’re thanking me. Well, see ya.
[Keita leaves.]
Daichi: Man, we got lucky! I’m glad things worked out. Phew!
Hinako: You idiot! This isn’t a matter of luck!
Hinako: Yes, we got lucky THIS time, but what if that scream had been a civilian!?
Hinako: You’re pretty powerful... If only you had the guts to back it up.
[Hinako leaves.]
Daichi: Hoo boy, I made her mad...
> There’s nothing to be done.
> You think?
Daichi: But like she said...
Daichi: If that had been an innocent victim screaming...
Daichi: I mean, it turned out it wasn’t this time...
Daichi: ...W-Well, all’s well that ends well, right? I’ll just do better next time! Haha!
Daichi seems worried for a moment, then quickly regains his cheer...
Reinvigorated [Minato - Tokyo Tower]
???: Help... I'm going to die!
???: Run... Hurry...
You hear peoples' voices in the distance...
Daichi: ...Hey, Hiro. DId you hear something? A voice from that direction?
Woman's Voice: You...! Mr. Kageyama... and Mr. Shijima, right?
A panicked JP's member runs over to you.
JP's Mmeber: You're just in time! We could really use you!
Daichi: Y-You need our help?
JP's Member: Enemies have appeared just past here... I can't take them all myself!
Daichi: Huh? ...Enemies? You mean, demons? Then sure, leave it to us...
JP's Member: Well... It's hard to say. Civilian intel's wonky, and it may be Septentriones.
Daichi: What!? That's really, really bad! We have to call everyone else...!
JP's Member: No, it'll be too late! If they attack the tower the barrier will fall!
JP's Member: We're going to have to stop it ourselves!
Daichi: R-Really...!? But, I mean... A Septentrione!
Daichi: There's no way we could take it down! This isn't a joke!
Hinako's Voice: ...Hey, Daichi! What're you whining about?
Daichi: Gah... Hinako!?
Hinako: YOU'RE the joke! Pathetic... And you call yourself a man!
Hinako: Fine, stay here! ...So where's this enemy?
JP's Member: Thanks, Ms. Kujou! There are conflicting reports, so it could be east or west!
JP's Member: We only need to hold on until the other JP's staff arrives. Go east to meet with them!
Hinako: No... I'll go west! If it IS a Septentrion, then I'm more experienced fighting them!
JP's Member: B-But...
Hinako: Don't worry about me! We help each other-- it's what we do. Gotta hurry, right?
JP's Member: Thank you! I'll meet the others to the east! Let's both come out of this alive...
Hinako and the JP's member run off in different directions...
Daichi: W-Wait! How are you going to run out and beat them just like that...!?
Daichi: ...Aaaaaaand they're gone.
Daichi: Dammit... Why!? Why are they all okay with running off into danger!?
> Give it some thought.
> We're going after them
Daichi: ......
Daichi: F-Fine! Let's go!
Daichi: I've got to man up sometime, so why not now!?
> We've got ot hurry!
> Let's do this.
Daichi: Y-Yeah! Let's go west and meet up with Hinako... It's more dangerous there...!
[They go west.]
Daichi: ...I-Is it around here? I'm getting super nervous! What if it really IS a Septentrione?
Woman: H-Help! A demon! There's a demon over here...!
Daichi: A demon...? Is it a Sept... Wait, she wouldn't know the word... Is it really big?
Woman: I don't know, it just looked like a demon to me.
Woman: You kids should run while you can! Some girl's fighting it, but who knows for how long!
Daichi: So it's just a normal demon? Phew! That's such a relief!
Daichi: Let's kick ass, Hiro! She might already be done with it...
[The pair search for Hinako and the demon.]
Daichi: Sooooo, where are these demons? ...Hmm?
[They spot a cellphone, and go closer to inspect it.]
Daichi: Huh...? A cell phone... I've seen this one before...
Daichi: ...! Hey, Hiro! Could this be--
Scream: Aaaaaah!
Daichi: ...! Was that Hinako!?
[They spot Hinako, surrounded by demons.]
Hinako: Gah! This blows...! I'm not going to last much longer...
Daichi: Wah! There's so many demons! And Hinako's all alone!
Daichi: AND she doesn't have her phone! We have to do something!
> We've got to do it!
> Can we save her...?
[More demons appear, blocking Daichi and Hiro's path.]
Daichi: What the--!? Outta the way! We have to get to Hinako...!
Hinako: Aaaaaahhh!
[Hinako's quite injured, now.]
Daichi: Gah...! Dammit, dammit, dammit! This is bad, Hiro...!
[They try to break through the demons, but are repelled by the demons attacking them.]
Daichi: Dammit! Move! This is all my fault...!
Daichi: It's all because I was wasting time... Because I didn't agree to help when I could have...
Hinako: ...! Who do these demons think they are...? Seriously!
Daichi: ...! This... it's my fault!
Daichi: I have to do this! I have to do something...!
[Daichi kills a demon with a spell.]
Daichi: Get out of my way, demons! You sons of bithches!
Hianko: ...Daichi!?
Daichi: Yerrrraaaaaaahhh!
[Soon, the demons are all dispatched.]
Daichi: Yes! I did it! You bastards...!
Daichi: Oh! Hinako! Are you okay? Are you hurt!?
Hinako: Yeah... I'm okay. I'm glad things worked out... Whew.
Hinako: And Daichi... Shut up. This isn't some anime where you have to scream every attack.
Daichi: Oh... Sorry. I'm sorry for everything.
Hinako: ...... I forgive you. Who knew you had it in you, Daichi?
Daichi: ...Huh?
Hinako: I'm seeing you in a different light now. Thanks for saving me.
Daichi: Oh... Uh... If I'd helped you sooner, this wouldn't have happened...
Hinako: Don't worry about it. What matters more is that you came for me at all.
Hinako: ...Well, I'll make my report now. I'll make sure to mention that you were really awesome.
[Hinako leaves.]
Daichi: A-Awesome...? Me?
Daichi: ...She said I was awesome, Hiro.
> Good for you.
> She's just being nice.
Daichi: Hahaha... The sky really looks blue today...
{}{}{}
Responsibility [Ikebukuro - Sunset Blvd ]
Daichi is walking around, holding his arm...
Daichi: Owwww... I wish they'd taken it easy on me.
> Are you okay?
> What's up?
Daichi: All these demons started coming out, so I went to go see what was going on.
Daichi: And then this happened. Man, that was scary...!
> Did you fight them?
> Did you run away?
Daichi: Remember when we saved Hinako? That got me thinking...
Daichi: I didn't like having to fight demons, with the world turning into this place...
Daichi: Why did it have to be me doing this? Couldn't it have been someone else?
[If you recruited Daichi on Day 7 in a route other than his own, you receive the additional following dialogue.]
Diachi: But when I run away, someone else gets hurt. Seeing Hinako made me realize that.
Daichi: And I hate that. A lot more than getting hurt myself...
Daichi: ...That's why I decided to fight.
Daichi: I mean, it's still scary, and I don't like it... but if I keep at it, nobody gets hurt, yeah?
Daichi scratches his head, embarrassed...
Daichi: Though... You're the one who gave me the advice to make me think this way.
Daichi: So... Thanks, Hiro.
> Fuhgeddaboudit!
> I need more than that.
> Don't worry about it.
Daichi: Well, I'm going to go get this looked at. See you.
Daichi walks away...
Inner Struggle [Shinbashi - SL Plaza]
Daichi is stumbling about as he attempts to carry a cardboard box...
Daichi: Gah, this is heavy! What's in this thing, anyway!?
Daichi: Oh, Hiro! My savior! You're just in time!
Daichi: Help me here! Grab the other side!
> Sure.
> No way.
> Pants him
You help Daichi lower the box to the ground...
Daichi: Fwoooooah! Thanks so much!
Hinako: Are you being lazy again, Daichi? If you don't hurry, I'll leave you behind!
Daichi: Well, when I said I'd help you, Hinako, you didn't say it was this heavy!
Hinako: Those are personal items from my parents' house. Can you make it to the JP's dorms?
Daichi: No way! I can't even feel my hands anymore, and I can't go another step...!
Hinako: Hmm... Well... I understand.
Hinako: Thanks, Daichi.
Daichi: ...Huh?
Hinako: Yeah, it's really dang heavy. Let's switch off.
Hinako: Hiro, can you grab it? I'll get the other side.
> Sure.
> Ugh, whatever.
Daichi: Oh... really? Th-Thanks, Hiro...
Hinako: Well, thanks, Daichi. All right, Hiro, let's go.
Daichi: ......
Daichi: W-Wait!
Hinako: ...Hm? What is it?
Daichi: Um... I can do it!
Hinako: Really? I don't want you to hurt yourself...
Daichi: Didn't you say your hands were going numb?
Daichi: I-It's okay... I'll carry this, even if it means I can't stand on the mound tomorrow!
Hinako: You're not on a baseball team...
Daichi: Whatever! I'm going to do this!
Daichi: All I've done is show Hiro that I'm pathetic. I'll prove that I'm not!
> I'm counting on you.
> I don't think you can do it.
Daichi: I mean, I can't just keep depending on other people... You know?
Hinako: ...Oh?
Daichi: So... Here! We! G--HNNNNGHHHH!
Daichi lifts the box with a herculean display of effort...
Daichi's Voice: Gaaaaah! It's an armageddon in my vertebrae! It's hellfire! The abackalypse!
Hinako: ...Hey, wait! I'll go with you...
Hinako: Watch out in front of you! You're gonna run into a pole!
[There's a loud crashing sound.]
Daichi's Voice: ...Gah!
Hinako: Whaaaa!? Daichi, are you okay!?
Daichi continues hauling the box, as Hinako continues yelling...
At Shibuya [Shibuya - South Exit]
Daichi is looking around the city...
Shibuya seems to be even more of a wreck than it had been a few days ago...
Daichi: Whoa--! Oh, it's you, Hiro! How are you? Working hard?
Daichi: ...Well, I guess there's no point in asking! I mean, this is you we're talking about...
Daichi: ...... H-Hey, look. This is Shibuya, right...?
Daichi: It's so quiet... Isn't it weird? It doesn't seem real.
> There are no people.
> The buildings are damaged.
Daichi: ...I mean, I hope so. Don't tell me they've all been killed by demons or worse...
Daichi: At first, all the earthquakes and fires scared me...
Daichi: And after that, the demons and the rioters were even scarier...
Daichi: And now there's nobody... Shibuya, with no people. That might be scariest of all.
Daichi: Just last week I was complaining about the crowds here... It's hard to believe.
Daichi: I'm gonna ride your coattails to victory, Hiro! The future's in your hands! Haha!
Daichi walks away...

Day 1
Tokyo in Ruins [Kasumigaseki - Hibiya Park]
[Available from Day 1 - 2nd?{}]
Lowly-looking men are swarming the vending machines...
Man in Fancy Shirt: Hurry up! Someone's gonna come!
Blonde Man: Don't rush me! I can't get them in the bag... Oh, crap!
Desperate Officer: ...Hey! What're you doing there!?
Man in Fancy Shirt: Tch... This isn't good! Scram!
Desperate Officer: Ah...! Hold it right there!
The policeman chases after the men...
Daichi: Oh my god... Are you serious!?
Daichi: Dude, Hiro... What's up with that?
The vending machines have been broken into, their contents stolen...
Daichi: This is the first time I've seen something like this. It's getting really bad around here.
Daichi: *sigh* I really hate stuff like this.
Daichi: I know, right? Don't feel bad, Hiro. I'm freaked out about it, too!
> I'm thirsty.
Daichi: What the--!? You've got nerves of steel! That's not what normal people'd say.
Daichi: Did they steal everything that was in there...? I'm gonna go see...
Daichi pokes around the vending machines...
Daichi: Hey, it's our lucky day! There's some stuff left!
Daichi: ...A lot left, actually. I'll leave some money and take enough for everyone. Wait...
Daichi returns with a troubled look on his face...
Daichi: ...Hiro. There was a whole bunch of this...
Daichi: "The miraculous union of wheat grass and caffeine! Refresh your body and mind!"
Daichi: ...And give me the heaves, probably... Uck.
Daichi: I mean, what does it say about this drink if not even starving looters take it?
Daichi: Well, Hiro? Wanna try it?
Daichi: ...I-It does...? Are you serious!? You're that desperate?
Daichi: I've made up my mind. ...I'm not drinking this.
Daichi: I'm gonna have the other warriors suck this gunk down. Yeah, that's the ticket.
> Let's not.
Daichi: Yeeeeeah... This should be used only as a last resort. Or a desperation move...
Daichi: I've made up my mind. ...I'm not drinking this.
Daichi: I'm gonna have the other warriors suck this gunk down. Yeah, that's the ticket.
> Chug! Chug!
Daichi: Okay! Drumroll, please! Heeeere! Weeee! Goooooo! Waitwaitwait, hang on.
Daichi: I already bought it... Maybe I should try it first.
Daichi: But just a little bit... I'm sure not going to chug it. Okay?
Daichi opens the can and takes a sip...
Daichi: ...... Oh... I get it.
Daichi: The grassy taste spreads through my mouth, meeting the sourness in my throat.
Daichi: It's actually really refreshing...
Daichi: ...NOT! This is the worst thing I've ever put in my mouth! I'm such a moron!
Daichi: Urrrrrrgh... What should I do with what's left?
Daichi: ...I'm going to have to look for a trash can...
Daichi: I mean, Hiro. Right now, this vending machine's the only thing that's wrecked.
Daichi: But if this situation keeps up, is the whole city going to end up this way?
Daichi: ......
Daichi: ...Nonononono! That can't be! Haha...
Daichi is smiling, but he looks somewhat worried...
Day 2
Hard Bargain [Tenjinbashi-Suji - Ten 7 Mall]
[I'm missing the script when you do this event before finding the location of Keita's death clip]
Daichi starts talking to you...
Daichi: H-Hey, Hiro... Should we be wandering around at a time like this...?
Daichi: We know the place in the death clip, so shouldn't we be going to Bickman soon...?
Vendors line the streets. It seems the businesses are still full of life.
Daichi: Hey, Hiro. I'm impressed with Osaka. They're still doing business here.
Daichi: Even with their stores destroyed! Wow...
Street Vendor: Welcome! Come on down, boys! First come, first served.
Daichi: Hmm...? H-Hey... That's...!
A selection of bread, snacks, and drinks are available...
Daichi: Oh, wow! There's a lot of stuff!
Street Vendor: Buy a lot! I'll make it cheap!
Daichi: You want something, Hiro? I'm going to get some juice... Wait.
Daichi: "The fantastic fusion of natural spring water and takoyaki puree!"
Daichi: Good lord. My stomach hurts just thinking about it...
Street Vendor: Hey, Mister. That's the last one we have!
Daichi: Seriously!? I actually kind of want it now... What should I do?
Daichi: ...All right, fine. I'm taking this one, Hiro! Gotta live it up in Osaka!
Street Vendor: Thanks! That'll be 3,000 yen!
Daichi: Oh, okay. Let me just get... Three thousand... Three... Thousand... Th-Th-Th...
Daichi: Whaat!? THREE THOUSAND YEN!?
> Is it that expensive?
> Supply and demand...
The street vendor glares at you...
Street Vendor: What's your problem? You should be grateful I'm even offering to sell to you!
Daichi: Oh crap... Is he pissed off? I-It's okay, Hiro... No need to push our luck...
Street Vendor: Well, what're you gonna do, kid? Make up your mind already.
Daichi: Uh... Well... I don't have... 3,000 yen with me right now...
Street Vendor: Then quit manhandling the merchandise and get outta here! Lousy window shoppers!
Daichi: All right, all right, sorry!
You and Daichi run away...
Daichi: Holy crap, that was scary! Osaka's a deathtrap!
Daichi: *sigh* This is a scary time to be in such a scary place...
Daichi slumps his shoulders...
Daichi: A-Anyway, let's hurry and go to Bickman. This isn't the time to be doing this.
You and Daichi walk away...
Day 3
Weary Daichi [Sakae - Yamada Park]
[I don't think this is available if Jungo dies?]
Daichi is staring off into space...
Daichi: Huh!? Oh, it's you. Don't sneak up on me like that!
> Boo!
Daichi: WAAAAAH! Huh!? Why'd you do that!? Geez!
> What's up?
Daichi: Huh!? Oh, it's you. Don't sneak up on me like that!
Daichi: I was just remembering how it was when I was captured... Man, it was scary.
Daichi: Yeah, thanks a lot. Seeing you guys made me feel a whole lot better.
> Are you hurt?
Daichi: No, I'm okay. They roughed me up a little...
Daichi: But why are we getting dragged into these scary situations?
Daichi: We've just been going with the flow this whole time, but is it the right thing to do?
Daichi: We've almost died, more than once! It's like an action movie.
Daichi: Right!? I ran over a monster with a truck, got kidnapped, and what else? It's bad.
> This is real life.
Daichi: No, I know that. Still...
> More like a horror movie.
Daichi: Haha... Yeah, we are going up against demons. What's next? Zombies?
Daichi: I mean, we fight and fight, but there's no end in sight.
Daichi: I kind of wish something would come along and wipe them all out at once.
Daichi: Don't you think, Hiro?
Daichi: Yeah, right? We'll just help out a little here and there.
> No.
Daichi: Really? Well, you're a lot more powerful than me, so I guess you wouldn't...
> What "something"?
Daichi: Huh? I don't know. Somebody. Anybody. Whatever.
Daichi: ...And we're not even adults! I wish they'd go easy on us...
Jungo: ...Daichi.
Daichi: Huh? Oh, hey Jungo. What's up?
Jungo: You look tired. I brought you something.
Daichi: Really? Oh, uh, thanks... WHAT IS THIS!?
Daichi: "Lots of energy for tired bodies! Contains over 1000mg of miso!"
Daichi: Even 1mg of miso is too much!
Jungo: ...I don't want you to think Nagoya's a bad place. I want you to feel better with this.
Daichi: Oh, uh... That's really nice of you, but... What is it?
Jungo: Mhm... Fumi said it was scientifically proven to be the best energy drink.
Jungo: So you should have it.
Daichi: ...Fumi? I've got a bad feeling about this...
Daichi: ......
Daichi: Th-Thanks, Jungo! I'm feeling a lot better now! See?
Jungo: ......
Daichi: Honest! Take this drink to someone who needs it.
Daichi: Or maybe somebody who really, REALLY loves the taste of miso. Okay?
Daichi returns the Misovitan D to Jungo...
Jungo: ......
Jungo: Mhm... Okay. I'm glad you feel better.
Jungo: I'll find someone else to give this to, then. ...Bye-bye.
[Jungo leaves.]
Daichi: Phew... I feel bad for Jungo, but that stuff is no joke, man.
Daichi: But who's Jungo going to try to give it to now...?
Jungo's Voice: Hi, Io. I have something for you...
Daichi: ...Nooooooo! Don't drink it!
Daichi runs after Jungo...
Day 5
At a Loss [Shibuya - South Exit]
Daichi strikes up a conversation...
Daichi: Hey, Hiro. Can I ask you something?
Daichi: Well... You're the only one I can talk to about this stuff.
> Is it the black scar?
Daichi: Wow, you knew just what I was going to say! Yep, that's it.
Daichi: Look, just what was that black scar? It's gotta be against the laws of nature...
Daichi: And what can we do against somebody who can make that!?
Daichi: Honestly... What do you think about it?
Daichi: Right!? I mean, that stuff was trouble, man...
> It's exciting.
Daichi: R-Really!? I guess you're a lot more energetic than you look...
> Meh.
Daichi: Wh-What!? You're something else... Either really strong, or really dense...
Daichi: Here's how I see it... Things are getting really, really bad. Like, hopeless.
Daichi: It's just the whole feeling I get... It's like... there's nothing we can do about it...
Daichi: Hey, Hiro... I feel like it's all over for Japan.
Makoto: ...Shijima, Kageyama. There you guys are.
Daichi: Hm...? Makoto? What's up?
Makoto: Well... I came to check on you. I was worried about you
Daichi: You were?
Makoto: ...You looked the most shocked when I showed you the black scar...
Makoto: Perhaps it was just my imagination...
Daichi: Well... It's shocking, but...
Daichi: JP's is going to do something about it, right? I can't think that we're totally helpless...
Makoto: It's difficult to say.
Makoto: But you guys are the ones with the skills to be at the core of JP's. We'll need your help.
Daichi: N-No no no no! That's impossible! I mean...
Daichi: A-Ask someone else to do it! I pass! I walk away!
Makoto: ......
Daichi: Right? It's too much to expect from us...
> Don't be so scared.
Daichi: Why aren't you!? Anyone in his right mind would be, after seeing Hakata like that...
> Just kill me now!
Daichi: St-Stop it! Don't even say things like that!
Makoto: ...I'm sorry. I know that we adults aren't as dependable as we should be.
Daichi: Oh, uh...
Makoto: Please, don't dwell on it too much. Goodbye.
Makoto walks away...
Daichi: Oh... She's gone.
Daichi: I mean, I'm just a high school kid! I should be scared! Right?
Daichi: Right? I'm not over-reacting or anything!
> I don't know.
Daichi: Well, I do! There's no need to pretend I'm not scared!
Daichi: We can't do anything about that black scar...!
Daichi: See ya, Hiro. Thanks for listening... Hahaha...
Daichi walks away...
Dependence [Tenjinbashi-Suji - Ten 7 Mall]
Daichi is walking through a shopping center. No other people are in sight...
Daichi: Hey, Hiro. There’s nobody here anymore. I guess they’ve all been evacuated.
Daichi: There were a lot of people here on Monday... It makes you feel lonely. ...Huh?
You hear Hinako yelling over to you...
Hinako’s Voice: Hey! Great timing! Two customers, coming up!
Daichi: What? I’ve got a bad feeling about this.
Daichi: Yeah... Let’s just pretend we didn’t hear her.
> I have a good feeling.
Daichi: Are you nuts, Hiro!? Don’t you see what she’s doing? Let’s pretend we didn’t hear.
> What are the odds?
Daichi: Ugh. Never tell me the odds!
[Hinako shows up.]
Hinako: Yo, Hiro, Daichi! What’re you wasting time over here for!?
Daichi: Crap! She’s already here...
Hinako: So listen, we’re chasing some bad guys who’re abusing the summoning app.
Hinako: They’re really fast, though, so it’s hard to catch them… Can you help?
Daichi: Someone’s abusing the demon app? What a pain... Can’t you handle this, Hinako?
Hinako: Quiet, you. They’re slippery. I mean, they even got away from me!
Daichi: ...Gah! Are they that tough?
Hinako: What, are you scared? Don’t worry! It’ll be easy if we all go against him!
Daichi: Are you serious? I’ll go round up everyone else, then. Then it’ll be super easy!
Hinako: No, that’ll take too long! They’ll be miles away if we don’t hurry!
Daichi: S-So it’s just gonna be us? I mean, sure… I just have to make sure I’m ready first.
> Are you scared?
Daichi: Not you, too, Hiro... Fine, I’m going, I’m going. --What?
Man’s Voice: Gahhhhh...!
Daichi: Huh!? What was that!?
Hinako: Dang it! Maybe they’ve hurt someone because we’re taking too long over here!
Hinako: ...I have to go! Follow me, okay!?
Daichi: Wait! We should all go together... Or you can run off by yourself...
[Keita shows up.]
Keita: ...Hey. Were you after these maggots?
Daichi: Whuh!? Keita!?
Hinako: Hey, Keita! Was that you fighting them? So all that shouting was...?
Keita: ...They’re really rude. I smashed their cell phones, along with their faces.
Hinako: Really? Man, I’m impressed! Thanks!
Keita: Hmph. I don’t know why you’re thanking me. Well, see ya.
[Keita leaves.]
Daichi: Man, we got lucky! I’m glad things worked out. Phew!
Hinako: You idiot! This isn’t a matter of luck!
Hinako: Yes, we got lucky THIS time, but what if that scream had been a civilian!?
Hinako: You’re pretty powerful... If only you had the guts to back it up.
[Hinako leaves.]
Daichi: Hoo boy, I made her mad...
Daichi: Y-Yeah... Things work out in the end, even if I don’t do anything.
> You think?
Daichi: Well, yeah... But... We’ve been in a lot of battles, but they still scare me...!
Daichi: But like she said...
Daichi: If that had been an innocent victim screaming...
Daichi: I mean, it turned out it wasn’t this time...
Daichi: ...W-Well, all’s well that ends well, right? I’ll just do better next time! Haha!
Daichi seems worried for a moment, then quickly regains his cheer...
Day 6
Reinvigorated [Minato - Tokyo Tower]
???: Help... I'm going to die!
???: Run... Hurry...
You hear peoples' voices in the distance...
Daichi: ...Hey, Hiro. DId you hear something? A voice from that direction?
Woman's Voice: You...! Mr. Kageyama... and Mr. Shijima, right?
A panicked JP's member runs over to you.
JP's Mmeber: You're just in time! We could really use you!
Daichi: Y-You need our help?
JP's Member: Enemies have appeared just past here... I can't take them all myself!
Daichi: Huh? ...Enemies? You mean, demons? Then sure, leave it to us...
JP's Member: Well... It's hard to say. Civilian intel's wonky, and it may be Septentriones.
Daichi: What!? That's really, really bad! We have to call everyone else...!
JP's Member: No, it'll be too late! If they attack the tower the barrier will fall!
JP's Member: We're going to have to stop it ourselves!
Daichi: R-Really...!? But, I mean... A Septentrione!
Daichi: There's no way we could take it down! This isn't a joke!
Hinako's Voice: ...Hey, Daichi! What're you whining about?
Daichi: Gah... Hinako!?
Hinako: YOU'RE the joke! Pathetic... And you call yourself a man!
Hinako: Fine, stay here! ...So where's this enemy?
JP's Member: Thanks, Ms. Kujou! There are conflicting reports, so it could be east or west!
JP's Member: We only need to hold on until the other JP's staff arrives. Go east to meet with them!
Hinako: No... I'll go west! If it IS a Septentrion, then I'm more experienced fighting them!
JP's Member: B-But...
Hinako: Don't worry about me! We help each other-- it's what we do. Gotta hurry, right?
JP's Member: Thank you! I'll meet the others to the east! Let's both come out of this alive...
Hinako and the JP's member run off in different directions...
Daichi: W-Wait! How are you going to run out and beat them just like that...!?
Daichi: ...Aaaaaaand they're gone.
Daichi: Dammit... Why!? Why are they all okay with running off into danger!?
Daichi: I don't know what to think! I'm just a high school student! Come on!
> We're going after them
Daichi: What!? You too, Hiro? We can't just go up against a Septentrione all of a sudden!
Daichi: ......
Daichi: F-Fine! Let's go!
Daichi: I've got to man up sometime, so why not now!?
> Let's do this.
Daichi: Y-Yeah! Let's go west and meet up with Hinako... It's more dangerous there...!
[They go west.]
Daichi: ...I-Is it around here? I'm getting super nervous! What if it really IS a Septentrione?
Woman: H-Help! A demon! There's a demon over here...!
Daichi: A demon...? Is it a Sept... Wait, she wouldn't know the word... Is it really big?
Woman: I don't know, it just looked like a demon to me.
Woman: You kids should run while you can! Some girl's fighting it, but who knows for how long!
Daichi: So it's just a normal demon? Phew! That's such a relief!
Daichi: Let's kick ass, Hiro! She might already be done with it...
[The pair search for Hinako and the demon.]
Daichi: Sooooo, where are these demons? ...Hmm?
[They spot a cellphone, and go closer to inspect it.]
Daichi: Huh...? A cell phone... I've seen this one before...
Daichi: ...! Hey, Hiro! Could this be--
Scream: Aaaaaah!
Daichi: ...! Was that Hinako!?
[They spot Hinako, surrounded by demons.]
Hinako: Gah! This blows...! I'm not going to last much longer...
Daichi: Wah! There's so many demons! And Hinako's all alone!
Daichi: AND she doesn't have her phone! We have to do something!
Daichi: Y-Yeah...! Wait for us, Hinako! We'll save you...!
> Can we save her...?
Daichi: W-We have to, somehow! Wait for us, Hinako! We'll save you...!
[More demons appear, blocking Daichi and Hiro's path.]
Daichi: What the--!? Outta the way! We have to get to Hinako...!
Hinako: Aaaaaahhh!
[Hinako's quite injured, now.]
Daichi: Gah...! Dammit, dammit, dammit! This is bad, Hiro...!
[They try to break through the demons, but are repelled by the demons attacking them.]
Daichi: Dammit! Move! This is all my fault...!
Daichi: It's all because I was wasting time... Because I didn't agree to help when I could have...
Hinako: ...! Who do these demons think they are...? Seriously!
Daichi: ...! This... it's my fault!
Daichi: I have to do this! I have to do something...!
[Daichi kills a demon with a spell.]
Daichi: Get out of my way, demons! You sons of bithches!
Hianko: ...Daichi!?
Daichi: Yerrrraaaaaaahhh!
[Soon, the demons are all dispatched.]
Daichi: Yes! I did it! You bastards...!
Daichi: Oh! Hinako! Are you okay? Are you hurt!?
Hinako: Yeah... I'm okay. I'm glad things worked out... Whew.
Hinako: And Daichi... Shut up. This isn't some anime where you have to scream every attack.
Daichi: Oh... Sorry. I'm sorry for everything.
Hinako: ...... I forgive you. Who knew you had it in you, Daichi?
Daichi: ...Huh?
Hinako: I'm seeing you in a different light now. Thanks for saving me.
Daichi: Oh... Uh... If I'd helped you sooner, this wouldn't have happened...
Hinako: Don't worry about it. What matters more is that you came for me at all.
Hinako: ...Well, I'll make my report now. I'll make sure to mention that you were really awesome.
[Hinako leaves.]
Daichi: A-Awesome...? Me?
Daichi: ...She said I was awesome, Hiro.
Daichi: Y-Yeah, thanks... It feels kind of weird, though.
> She's just being nice.
Daichi: Oh, come on! Why would you say that!? Although that's something you would say...
Daichi: Hahaha... The sky really looks blue today...
{}{}{}
Day 7
Responsibility [Ikebukuro - Sunset Blvd ]
Daichi is walking around, holding his arm...
Daichi: Owwww... I wish they'd taken it easy on me.
Daichi: Ugh! Do I look okay?
> What's up?
Daichi: Hey, Hiro! Yeah, so, listen...
Daichi: All these demons started coming out, so I went to go see what was going on.
Daichi: And then this happened. Man, that was scary...!
Daichi: Yeah. I took them on, all by myself.
> Did you run away?
Daichi: Ha! You know me... But no, this time I stood up by myself against them.
Daichi: Remember when we saved Hinako? That got me thinking...
Daichi: I didn't like having to fight demons, with the world turning into this place...
Daichi: Why did it have to be me doing this? Couldn't it have been someone else?
Diachi: But when I run away, someone else gets hurt. Seeing Hinako made me realize that.
Daichi: And I hate that. A lot more than getting hurt myself...
Daichi: ...That's why I decided to fight.
Daichi: I mean, it's still scary, and I don't like it... but if I keep at it, nobody gets hurt, yeah?
Daichi scratches his head, embarrassed...
Daichi: Though... You're the one who gave me the advice to make me think this way.
Daichi: So... Thanks, Hiro.
Daichi: Hahaha, don't act like it was nothing!
> I need more than that.
Daichi: Oh, come on! I'm trying to thank you!
> Don't worry about it.
Daichi: No, it's good to let people know that you appreciate them. So don't say that!
Daichi: Well, I'm going to go get this looked at. See you.
Daichi walks away...
Inner Struggle [Shinbashi - SL Plaza]
Daichi is stumbling about as he attempts to carry a cardboard box...
Daichi: Gah, this is heavy! What's in this thing, anyway!?
Daichi: Oh, Hiro! My savior! You're just in time!
Daichi: Help me here! Grab the other side!
Daichi: Hurry, hurry! Before my back gives you...!
> No way.
Daichi: Wait wait wait! My back's going out! Help!
> Sure.
> Pants him
> Pants him
You move around behind Daichi...
Daichi: Wait, stop! Are you getting revenge on me for that one time in junior high!?
Daichi spins around to keep you in front of him...
> Sure.
> No way.
You help Daichi lower the box to the ground...
Daichi: Fwoooooah! Thanks so much!
Hinako: Are you being lazy again, Daichi? If you don't hurry, I'll leave you behind!
Daichi: Well, when I said I'd help you, Hinako, you didn't say it was this heavy!
Hinako: Those are personal items from my parents' house. Can you make it to the JP's dorms?
Daichi: No way! I can't even feel my hands anymore, and I can't go another step...!
Hinako: Hmm... Well... I understand.
Hinako: Thanks, Daichi.
Daichi: ...Huh?
Hinako: Yeah, it's really dang heavy. Let's switch off.
Hinako: Hiro, can you grab it? I'll get the other side.
> Ugh, whatever.
Daichi: Oh... really? Th-Thanks, Hiro...
Hinako: Well, thanks, Daichi. All right, Hiro, let's go.
Daichi: ......
Daichi: W-Wait!
Hinako: ...Hm? What is it?
Daichi: Um... I can do it!
Hinako: Really? I don't want you to hurt yourself...
Daichi: Didn't you say your hands were going numb?
Daichi: I-It's okay... I'll carry this, even if it means I can't stand on the mound tomorrow!
Hinako: You're not on a baseball team...
Daichi: Whatever! I'm going to do this!
Daichi: All I've done is show Hiro that I'm pathetic. I'll prove that I'm not!
Daichi: Yeah! You go on ahead. Leave this to me! ...I've always wanted to say that!
> I don't think you can do it.
Daichi: ...Ouch, man. Well, just you watch! I'm a lot tougher than you think.
Daichi: I mean, I can't just keep depending on other people... You know?
Hinako: ...Oh?
Daichi: So... Here! We! G--HNNNNGHHHH!
Daichi lifts the box with a herculean display of effort...
Daichi's Voice: Gaaaaah! It's an armageddon in my vertebrae! It's hellfire! The abackalypse!
Hinako: ...Hey, wait! I'll go with you...
Hinako: Watch out in front of you! You're gonna run into a pole!
[There's a loud crashing sound.]
Daichi's Voice: ...Gah!
Hinako: Whaaaa!? Daichi, are you okay!?
Daichi continues hauling the box, as Hinako continues yelling...
Day 7 - Unrecruited
At Shibuya [Shibuya - South Exit]
Daichi is looking around the city...
Shibuya seems to be even more of a wreck than it had been a few days ago...
Daichi: Whoa--! Oh, it's you, Hiro! How are you? Working hard?
Daichi: ...Well, I guess there's no point in asking! I mean, this is you we're talking about...
Daichi: ...... H-Hey, look. This is Shibuya, right...?
Daichi: It's so quiet... Isn't it weird? It doesn't seem real.
Daichi: Yeah, I haven't seen anyone. Have they all been evacuated?
> The buildings are damaged.
Daichi: Right, and there arne't any people walking around. Have they all been evacuated?
Daichi: ...I mean, I hope so. Don't tell me they've all been killed by demons or worse...
Daichi: At first, all the earthquakes and fires scared me...
Daichi: And after that, the demons and the rioters were even scarier...
Daichi: And now there's nobody... Shibuya, with no people. That might be scariest of all.
Daichi: Just last week I was complaining about the crowds here... It's hard to believe.
Daichi: I'm gonna ride your coattails to victory, Hiro! The future's in your hands! Haha!
Daichi walks away...
