Trumpeter

[Kasumigaseki - Hibiya Park] [18:00]
You find Fumi and Daichi talking to each other...

Daichi: Hmm... Tough call. I mean, it's all or nothing...

Fumi: Well, yes. But we don't have much time, do we? It'll be up to Hiro in the end.

> Someone say my name?
> What're you talking about?

Io: Oh... Hiro? We were just talking about you...

Fumi: Ah, Hiro. We were waiting for you to show up.

> How come?

Fumi: It's about Trumpeter. This is the place, yes? That's what Daichi told us, anyway.

> Sorry about that.

Fumi: Yes, we were waiting. This is the place, yes? Where Trumpeter is sealed?
Fumi: Daichi filled us in briefly.

Io: Oh... We heard about Trumpeter's melody, too. The jamming one...?
Io: It'll stop Benetnasch's power, but we won't be able to summon any more demons either...

> That's right.

(Conversation continues.)

> Is that so?

Io: Um... yeah. Something about the special waves from our apps being canceled too...

Fumi: We'll simply have to summon our demons before the melody's effect takes hold.
Fumi: But anything after that's out. We'll have to fight Benny with only those demons.
Fumi: And our attacks will still have no effect, so the demons will have to do all the work.
Fumi: It's a pretty big risk. What do you say, Hiro?

> We have to do this.

Fumi: Haha, indeed. I knew you'd say that.

> We're out of time.

Fumi: Yes, that's true. I suppose we don't have the luxury to debate methodology.

Daichi: Whoa... Y-You're serious, Hiro...!?
Daichi: No, you're right... It's the only way to take down Benetnasch...

Io: Mmm-hmm. I know we can do this!

Fumi: If we've decided, let's hurry and head over there. It's time we got this over with.

> All right.
> I guess so.

[Fumi gets out her cellphone.]

Fumi: Well then, let's do this like we always do...

[A tile on the stage floor slides open and a seal appears.]

Fumi: Mm... All right. Well then, Hiro. Be my guest and send the release code.

> Got it.
> Leave it to me.

Daichi: A-All right... Go for it! We finally found a counter-measure. Let's hope it works!

[Hiro gets out his cell phone and sends the code, releasing the seal, which sends a wave of purple energy.]

Fumi: Ooh... Yep, looks like something's coming out.

[Trumpeter appears!]

Io: Whoa... You're right. Something did come out...

Daichi: Something's floating in the air... Is he really...? Ah! Does he have a trumpet!?

Trumpeter: My name is Trumpeter... A loyal servant of the Lord, who blows the horn of the end...

[Io backs away.]

Io: U-Um... Excuse me. We'd like to ask a favor. Um, we need your help...

Trumpeter: ...I refuse. Why should I help you?
Trumpeter: You humans lack respect. Why summon me for your own greed and use me for your avarice?
Trumpeter: ...Ever since the world was created, I have never had any reason to help you.

Io: N-No... Um, please... We're really in trouble, and you're the only one tha can help...
Io: We searched for where you were sealed and found the release code just for that!
Io: It doesn't have to be much, but if would be wonderful if you'd cooperate with us...

Daichi: Th-That's right! We're really in it deep! So, well...
Daichi: We just need you to, like... blow your trumpet a little. That's all you need to do!

[The ground shakes.]

Trumpeter: ...For mere humans to decide how divine punishment should strike is blatant arrogance.

[Fumi walks away.]

Trumpeter: Repent, or face the consequences...

[A bright light shines from the end of Trumpeter's... trumpet.]

Io: No...!? Wh-What do we do...? Is fighting really the only way...?

[Fumi walks onto the stage's ceiling and throws her laptop at Trumpeter.]

Fumi: Yeah, yeah. Allow me to butt in here for a second.

Io: Fumi...?

Fumi: Just stay out of this for a minute, okay? Now, back to our discussion...

Trumpeter: ...? Who are you?

Fumi: Me? I wasn't expecting such a stupid question. Do you really need to know that?

Trumpeter: No... Not at all. But, you're...

Fumi: Don't "no, but" me, idiot. I hate having to answer pointless questions.

Trumpeter: Oh... Hm. I apologize.

Fumi: Meh. As long as you understand. Now, back to whether you'll help us...

[Fumi beats up Trumpeter thoroughly with multiple laptops.]

Trumpeter: A-All right. I will blow my trumpet once, as you wish.

Io: Really...!? We can fight Benetnasche now...! Thank you... so much!

Trumpeter: Um, well...

Fumi: ...? Whatever, I kept my promise. Good for you, Hiro.

> Thanks.
> You're impressive.

Fumi: Huh? That was nothing. Nothing at all.

[Fumi walks away.]

Trumpeter: How do I put this... Humans have become such dreadful beings.

Io: Oh, well... Uh... She's... kind of an exception...

> Yeah, no kidding.
> Eh, what can you do?

Daichi: Ohhh... Yeah. Sometimes she's more like a demon than the actual demons!
Daichi: Well, don't let Fumi bother you, Trumpeter. Hahaha...

Trumpeter: I-Indeed...
Trumpeter: Then... call on me when you require my power. I will lend it to you just once...

[Trumpeter flies away.]

Daichi: Ah... W-Wait a sec! Could you try playing it once and--
Daichi: Man, he's gone... So we don't get a rehearsal? Ugh... I guess we've got to do this.

You leave the area, but the atmosphere is tense...
