Main Quest:Chapter 2:VN

At the end of the 20th century, Gates connected to other worlds opened in Tokyo. From them, strange creatures poured into our world.

Werewolves, angels, demons, replicants, and all manner of creatures emerged on that day…

Creatures that resembled humans... yet were not quite human themselves, gathered here, in Tokyo.

Fear of the creatures ran rampant. They were completely unknown beings with completely foreign ways.

They possessed incredible destructive power and magic beyond humanity's wildest dreams.

Humanity couldn't be blamed for fearing that which was beyond their capacity to understand.

Both creatures and humans took advantage of one another, but they knew they could never come to an understanding.

However, even in times like these, there were those who wished for peaceful co-existence.

Several years have passed since that fateful day.

The fact that Tokyo borders countless other worlds has become a part of everyday life for its inhabitants.

Tokyo was designated as a Joint Management Region by the Japanese government and the UN, facilitating the creation of new laws and establishments.

Many of the creatures that come to Tokyo from other worlds receive legal status as foreign exchange students.

They transmigrate through the walls between worlds in a flash of light...

Thus, the people of Tokyo call those sentient beings transferred to this world... Transients.

Mr. Mononobe: And that's about the sum of it.

Mr. Mononobe: It's been a long time since the word Transient was designated to refer to people from other worlds.

Mr. Mononobe: Every Transient is under the legal control of a school somewhere. They live their lives as students or teachers.

Mr. Mononobe: Transients also look vastly different from the primary intelligent species of this world, humans.

Mr. Mononobe: Barring extenuating circumstances, hiding such differences is illegal by city ordinance.

Mr. Mononobe: In other words, you can tell right away if someone is a Transient. They can have wings, horns, tails, or some other external feature that makes it clear.

Mr. Mononobe: The Transient population is growing every year, but good citizens like yourselves already know that, don't you?

Mr. Mononobe: Transients are only allowed to live within the city. Leaving city grounds is severely restricted.

Mr. Mononobe: Nowadays, you don't come across people from outside Tokyo often, so transfer students have become a rarity.

Mr. Mononobe: However, today, we just so happen to have one of those rare transfers joining our school.

Mr. Mononobe: Right, <param=playerName>?

That is correct.
Mr. Mononobe: That's a prompt and proper response. It's fine to be serious, but you shouldn't overdo it. Mr. Mononobe: Try to relax a bit. You're a student in this class now, just like everyone else.

Sir, yes sir.
Mr. Mononobe: That's all well and good, but this isn't the army. A simple "yes" is enough.

Do you have horns, too?
Mr. Mononobe: Hey now, do I look like anything but a human to you?

Mr. Mononobe: Ah, it seems I must wrap things up here. Shiro, if you please.

Shiro: Yes, Mr. Mononobe. All right everyone, stand up. Eyes forward.

Shiro: Bow!

Mr. Mononobe: Now then, let's get right into homeroom. I have an announcement from the teachers' meeting.

Mr. Mononobe: By the request of the police and other authorities, Shinjuku Academy will be closed for a while, starting tomorrow.

Yaaaaaaaay!

Mr. Mononobe: Pipe down, kids. It's only for 2 or 3 days. Think of it as a surprise holiday.

Mr. Mononobe: And consider this fair warning. You'll be getting homework for all the classes you miss.

Booooooo!

Mr. Mononobe: Hahaha. You kids are so fickle. Life isn't all fun and games, you know.

Mr. Mononobe: But I need you to know that we're not closing the school for no reason.

Mr. Mononobe: Last night, there was an incident near the school. There was evidence of an attack and a body... or at least part of one... was found.

Mr. Mononobe: The victim was not a student of this school, but the police are here as part of their investigation.

Mr. Mononobe: So, that's the current situation. Don't go staying out late just because school is closed.

Mr. Mononobe: Hm... Was there anything I forgot to mention?

Mr. Mononobe: Ah, yes. Mr. Jinn and Mr. Triton have a message for you.

Mr. Mononobe: They suggested you go to the dorm supervisor's office if you have any problems. However...

Mr. Mononobe: I will say you should not go to the dorm supervisor's office. It will only complicate things. That's all for today.

He sounded pretty firm about that last part...

Ryota: Hey <param=playerName>! Isn't it great!? School's off from tomorrow! You're so lucky! You've only been here a day and school gets cancelled. Shiro: ... Master Kengo! It is time for our training! Let us spar 100 times again today! Sorry man! I'm on my way now! You're a Canis Therian? Are you in the kendo club?

Ryota: There are all different kinds of uniforms available, but some students like Moritaka just bring their own. This uniform once belonged to my beloved master... For this reason, it is very precious to me. It is a joy to take part in my studies while wearing it. But let us set aside this talk for another time! Ryota: You guys never get tired of this, huh? You only get serious when it comes to training. You don't get to slack off from training. It means something cause you keep it up every day. Correct. The way of the warrior was not paved in a day! See you later, <param=playerName>. You know I'm always up for a duel! Farewell. We shall meet again in class tomorrow. Here doggie!

You're so lucky! You've only been here a day and school gets cancelled.

Shiro: ...

Woof! I mean, that is correct!

My name is Moritaka Inuzuka, proud warrior of the Canine Eight and member of the kendo team!

It is a pleasure to meet you, transfer student <param=playerName>.

Huh? My uniform is different? I suppose I do stand out...

Ryota: Our school doesn't really have a dress code. There are even people who wear their uniforms 24/7.

Ryota: There are all different kinds of uniforms available, but some students like Moritaka just bring their own.

This uniform once belonged to my beloved master...

For this reason, it is very precious to me. It is a joy to take part in my studies while wearing it.

But let us set aside this talk for another time!

Ryota: You guys never get tired of this, huh? You only get serious when it comes to training.

You don't get to slack off from training. It means something cause you keep it up every day.

Correct. The way of the warrior was not paved in a day!

See you later, <param=playerName>. You know I'm always up for a duel!

Farewell. We shall meet again in class tomorrow.

Ryota: Oh, those two? They're always training together. They probably get along so well because they're both in sports clubs.

Ryota: I wonder what kind of training they do that covers both MMA and kendo...

Ryota: I was super surprised when I heard you transferred here!

Ryota: Not only that, but we're in the same class! This has got to be more than a coincidence!

Shiro: ...

Ryota: They do say fact is stranger than fiction. Welcome to our class, <param=playerName>!

Thanks!
Ryota: I think we'll get along just fine, <param=playerName>!

How did this happen?

Isn't this all a little sudden?!

Ryota: I think we'll get along just fine, <param=playerName>!

Ryota: This school's a bit unique, but you'll get used to it. Oh, and the school cafeteria is really good!

Ryota: And if there's anything on your mind, just talk to Mr. Mononobe. He's our homeroom teacher, but he's also the school counselor.

Ryota: Huh? Mr. Jinn and Mr. Triton? I wouldn't go to them if you can avoid it...

Ryota: They kinda go overboard and make bad situations worse. It tends to get real chaotic.

Ryota: Anyway, about that announcement during homeroom... That incident nearby... Scary stuff, huh?

Ryota: To think that all that blood and even part of a human body were found near the school...

Shiro: ...

Ryota: What's up, Shiro? You've been pretty quiet.

Shiro: No... It can't be...

Shiro: It... wasn't me...

Ryota: Shiro? Hey, Shiro!

Shiro: It wasn't me! I had nothing to do with it!

Ryota: Wha?! What's with the shouting?!

Shiro: Huh? O-Oh... Sorry. What... were we talking about?

Ryota: What's gotten into you? You look super pale.

Are you feeling sick?

Shiro: ... Shiro: It's nothing, really. Sorry I made you worry. Ryota: Huh? Hey, your phone is ringing. Shiro: ...! Ryota: Are you all right?! You're getting even paler! Shiro: It's nothing... I just remembered I have something to do. Ryota: H-Hey, wait! I thought we were gonna get some food together... Ryota: He's gone... Ryota: What's gotten into him? He's been like that since this morning. Ryota: Maybe there's something bothering him. He takes everything so seriously. It's like he never stops worrying. Ryota: ... Ryota: Sorry, <param=playerName>. Let's eat together some other time. Ryota: Right now, I... Got it, let's go together. Ryota: Heh, you're a nice person, you know that? Ryota: Now let's follow Shiro! Ryota: Huff! Huff! Hold on... I can't run anymore...! Ryota: We completely lost him. He's pretty fast... Ryota: Hmm. Shinjuku is a huge area. It's hard to look for someone without any leads... Ryota: We should try splitting up and spread our search out. Ryota: I'll head that way and check out the smaller railways going through Shinjuku Station. Ryota: Can you check the rest? He might be headed somewhere by train. Ryota: If either of us find him, let's contact each other through the App. Ryota: See you later! Lil' Salomon: Ta-dah! It's been so long! Just over a day! Your familiar, Lil' Salomon, is at your service! Lil' Salomon: Master! I have some news! And it's quite the emergency! Lil' Salomon: Another App player is within a 100 meter radius! It's not Ryota? Lil' Salomon: Nope. It's someone you've never met, Master. Lil' Salomon: The App has a special step for its user to be registered as a Summoner. Lil' Salomon: I'll tell you the details later! The Summoner is approaching! Is that a problem? Lil' Salomon: It's a huge one! In fact, there's more than one Summoner closing in! Lil' Salomon: Did I not tell you? Lil' Salomon: When you have the App running, all users can tell your location and affiliation! Lil' Salomon: People you've never directly fought before won't see too much info, but... Lil' Salomon: Your location is totally available to everyone at all times! Lil' Salomon: As far as I know, you haven't made the acquaintance of any other Summoners yet... Lil' Salomon: Which means... Could it be Shiro? Lil' Salomon: Nope. It's someone you've never met, Master. Lil' Salomon: The App has a special step for its user to be registered as a Summoner.

Ryota: Heh, you're a nice person, you know that? Ryota: Now let's follow Shiro! Ryota: Huff! Huff! Hold on... I can't run anymore...! Ryota: We completely lost him. He's pretty fast... Ryota: Hmm.

Take a few deep breaths.

Shiro: ... Shiro: It's nothing, really. Sorry I made you worry. Ryota: Huh? Hey, your phone is ringing. Shiro: ...! Ryota: Are you all right?! You're getting even paler! Shiro: It's nothing...

Shiro: ...!

Ryota: Are you all right?! You're getting even paler!

Shiro: It's nothing... I just remembered I have something to do.

Ryota: H-Hey, wait! I thought we were gonna get some food together...

Ryota: He's gone...

Ryota: What's gotten into him? He's been like that since this morning.

Ryota: Maybe there's something bothering him. He takes everything so seriously. It's like he never stops worrying.

The Summoner is approaching! Is that a problem? Lil' Salomon: It's a huge one! In fact, there's more than one Summoner closing in! Lil' Salomon: Did I not tell you? Lil' Salomon: When you have the App running, all users can tell your location and affiliation! Lil' Salomon: People you've never directly fought before won't see too much info, but... Lil' Salomon: Your location is totally available to everyone at all times! Lil' Salomon: As far as I know, you haven't made the acquaintance of any other Summoners yet... Lil' Salomon: Which means... Could it be Shiro? Lil' Salomon: Nope. It's someone you've never met, Master. Lil' Salomon: The App has a special step for its user to be registered as a Summoner.

We better hurry or we'll lose sight of him.

Ryota: Heh, you're a nice person, you know that? Ryota: Now let's follow Shiro! Ryota: Huff! Huff! Hold on... I can't run anymore...! Ryota: We completely lost him. He's pretty fast... Ryota: Hmm. Shinjuku is a huge area. It's hard to look for someone without any leads... Ryota: We should try splitting up and spread our search out. Ryota: I'll head that way and check out the smaller railways going through Shinjuku Station. Ryota: Can you check the rest? He might be headed somewhere by train. Ryota: If either of us find him, let's contact each other through the App. Ryota: See you later! Lil' Salomon: Ta-dah! It's been so long! Just over a day! Your familiar, Lil' Salomon, is at your service! Lil' Salomon: Master! I have some news! And it's quite the emergency! Lil' Salomon: Another App player is within a 100 meter radius! It's not Ryota?

木の剣客: ...

Lil' Salomon: You should be wary of the people approaching, at the very least.

Lil' Salomon: I suppose it's too late for that now, though.

Couldn't you tell me stuff like this sooner?

Lil' Salomon: Haha... I was tired out from yesterday, so I only just woke up! 天の剣客: Hey, you there. You're an App player, aren't you? 天の剣客: Haven't seen you around here. Anyone recognize <param=pronounName2>? 木の剣客: Never seen <param=pronounName2> before. Hey, check it out. Looks like this kid is flying solo. 木の剣客: Guess that means... We've got ourselves a brand-spankin' newbie! 木の剣客: Looks like Lady Luck is on our side! You'll be the perfect stepping stone for climbing up the rankings! 冥の剣客: Hey, you sure about this? This isn't the one Oniwaka told us to target. 木の剣客: Who cares?! All we've done is look and look! Let's have some fun for a change! 天の剣客: Battle Zone established! I challenge you to an App battle! 木の剣客: It's rookie farmin' time! I'm gonna get me some PvP points! An invisible wall? I'm surrounded! A similar thing happened at the park...

Don't think you can act cute and just get away with everything!

An invisible wall?

I'm surrounded!

A similar thing happened at the park...

Lil' Salomon: Whoa! That's a cliché if I ever saw one.

Lil' Salomon: Then again, it's your first PVP battle, so these scrubs are perfect!

Lil' Salomon: C'mon, let's beat them down! Hurry up and summon your Sacred Artifact and familiars!

Lil' Salomon: They may be third-rate hoodlums, but they're still Summoners.

Huh? Did time stop again?

Lil' Salomon: I messed with the perception of time so I can throw in a little tutorial!

Lil' Salomon: Listen up. Just like yesterday, that guy has established a Battle Zone.

Lil' Salomon: The powers of the App are effective only within the range of this Battle Zone.

Lil' Salomon: As such, you Summoners will battle inside this area!

Lil' Salomon: Regardless of how destructive you get in here, everything outside of the Battle Zone will remain unaffected.

Lil' Salomon: So don't be afraid to give 'em hell!

Lil' Salomon: Also, only App users can see inside a Battle Zone.

Lil' Salomon: Regular people who don't have the App will have no idea what's going on.

Lil' Salomon: There are some exceptions, but let's not worry about that for now...

Lil' Salomon: Okay, Master! Are you ready?! What? Run away?

Lil' Salomon: Listen, Master, this is very important:

Lil' Salomon: If you ever run away or, in other words, leave the Battle Zone without fighting...

Lil' Salomon: You'll immediately lose your status as an App user and cease to be a Summoner!

Lil' Salomon: If that happens, you'll lose your only way back home. You'll be stuck here forever.

Lil' Salomon: To put it simply, you must accept every fight!

Lil' Salomon: That's it for the tutorial! Thank you for your patience!

Lil' Salomon: Now, get out there and, please, don't lose. Good luck!
