Holy Town

No one's here...

Weapon Shop: If weapons are still selling, the world must still be pretty dangerous.

This terminal can't be used...

STEVEN: Glad you could make it. This is a virtual space inside the network, my hideout, you could say. From here I'll send you into the terminal inside the Ark.

Transferring now!

STEVEN's Voice: Now, go.

Armor Shop: Oh, come on, after seeing your amazing gear, I couldn't bring myself to tell you to buy the cheap stuff here.

Junk Shop: We're sold out today. Go home.

Bartender: We're closed for the day. Sorry.

Hunter Hiroshi: We've been waiting for you! It's a BIG Hunter Chance with Big and Small!!

Hunter Chance! What'll it be?

Hunter Chance with Big and Small!! See you tomorrow!

The rules are simple. 10 coins a play. Guess whether the number picked from 0 to 9 is BIG or SMALL. 5 to 9 is BIG, 0 to 4 is SMALL. Each time you guess right, your coins double, and if you keep guessing right they keep on doubling. Big chance!! ...But if you miss, you lose it all, so be careful... We've got lots of fancy prizes, too. Now, do your best, it's Hunter Chance!!

Rory: Yeah! It's Keno, baby! Keno yesterday, Keno today! Come on, dummy! That's where you laugh!

Yeah, what'll it be?

It's spelled KENO and said Keno! Say it however you like! See ya!

In KENO, 16 numbers out of 1 to 64 get picked each play. Guess which and place your bets. You can pick anywhere from 1 to 16 numbers, as many as you like. Put the cursor on NO.SEL and press the A Button, and a cursor shows up on the number board so you can pick numbers. Press the A Button to choose. The numbers you pick get an X. Press the B Button to cancel and clear the X. When you pick numbers, the odds table shows up on the right. If it says "1 x4," that means if one of your numbers hits, your coins go up 4 times. When you're done picking, press the X Button to BET. Bet coins 1 at a time with the A Button and 10 at a time with the X Button. Take them back 1 at a time with the B Button and 10 at a time with the Y Button. You can bet up to 100. ERASE clears all the X marks. Use it when you want to pick again from scratch. RESULT shows the results so far. Red came up a lot, blue came up a little, green came up about normal. Look close and choose. Once you've bet, press the R Button to start! To quit, press the L Button. The most you can win is 999999 coins!

Bunny: Welcome! It's a shiny new machine!

Go ahead, what'll it be?

You're done? I'll keep your (number) coins for you. You can use them any time you come.

Lucky Symbol is 1 coin a game. This slot is a new machine with a Numbers Game built in. If 3 or more of the same symbol land in the center frame, you win. And if four "7"s land, wow! It's the MAX 10000 jackpot!! Let me explain the Numbers Game! When number symbols from 1 to 3 land in the 12 frames on the top, middle, and bottom rows, all kinds of features happen depending on the total! 0, 1, and 2 are a miss. 3 is RAISE, which raises the Lucky Symbol odds from 2 to 5 times. 4 and 5 are HOLD. You can stop up to 3 reels and play the next game. Stop them from the left with X, Y, B, and A. 6 is the DOUBLE light. Your next win pays double. 7 and 8 are Lucky Symbol. The symbols that were in the center frame then light up. If you win with a lit symbol, it pays at the odds RAISE brought up. If you hit a jackpot of 100 or more, I'll turn off all the symbol lights. 9 to 12 wins you 5 to 100 coins. When you want to quit, press the L Button. Now, press the R Button to start! Good luck!

Play any machine you like.

Bunny: Welcome to the dizzying world of luck. This slot machine is a little tricky!

What'll you do?

You have (number) coins. I'll keep your coins here for you. Come again!

Super 27 is 1 coin a game. This slot has a HOLD game and a BONUS game. In the HOLD game, if there's a reel you want to keep, you can HOLD it. Stop them from the left with the Y, B, and A Buttons. But you can't HOLD twice in a row. When two symbols line up, it's good to hold those. The rest is up to you! When symbols line up on the center line, you win and can choose the BONUS game. BONUS is 5 coins a game and becomes a 27-line game. That means the top, middle, and bottom all win. But you can't HOLD. The 6 symbols other than the winning one when you entered BONUS become Challenge Symbols. Lights for the Challenge Symbols show up under the reels, and each one goes out when you hit it. It ends when all the Challenge Symbols are gone, when your WIN coins run out, or when you hit 1000 coins. The JP symbol wins anywhere on the top, middle, or bottom even outside BONUS, and the payout is random, so look forward to it! When you don't choose BONUS, press Down to TAKE SCORE! To stop partway, press the L Button. Press the R Button to start. LET'S TRY!!

Which machine will it be?

(demon): ......It's over. All of it. Now that God is gone, I, God's messenger, have nowhere to go...... But you are different. Now, go to Eden.

Virtual Girl: Welcooome! In virtual space, you can be a hero too!!

So, what'll it be?

Come again!

In Virtual Battle you fight demons in virtual space. It's just like a real fight, except you don't die if you lose, so it's good training too. You can earn EXP safely, but if you use items and stuff, they really get used up, so be careful. When your HP hits 0, it's GAME OVER. The goal is to beat that LEVEL's boss... If you really manage it, that's pretty impressive... Got it?

What level do you want?

LEVEL 4 is (number) macca, please... You won't really die, but don't push yourself.

Oh, you don't have enough money. Bring more macca next time.

LEVEL 3 is (number) macca, please... Hmm... it might be a little tough. Be careful.

LEVEL 2 is (number) macca, please. You'll be fine. Good luck!

LEVEL 1 is (number) macca, please. A LEVEL like this is a piece of cake. Have fun!

Oh, if it isn't (hero)! How've you been? Sorry! Boss Okamoto told me not to let anyone play for free. That includes you, of course.

Virtual Girl: Good work! Did you have fun?

Virtual Girl: Done already?

Okamoto: What, you're done already?

TONY: Hi! You feelin' it?! OK! OK! Request some groovy music!

What'll you request!?

OK! OK! Come again! BYE BYE!

NOW PLAYING MUSIC

OK! OK! On to the next music! LET'S GO! OK!?

Bunny: Welcome. This is the cashier.

Right now you have

(number) coins. Come again!

The casino uses coins. I'll change your money, macca, into coins, one coin for every

macca. When your coins go up, you can trade them for nice items. I'll keep your coins here for you.

Coins can only be used here, so keep that in mind.

Clerk: Welcome to the House of Fortune casino. Change your macca into coins at the cashier inside and enjoy yourself.

Man: We are closed for today. We look forward to your next visit.

It's frozen. You can't go any further.

Clerk: Welcome.

Old Man: That last one was a huge earthquake. Afterward somebody saw great big lightning crashing high up in the sky, but I didn't see it... Must be getting old.

Woman: You're the Messiah? Don't lie. The Messiah is (friend 2).

(friend 2) went to Valhalla.

Woman: To think (friend 2) was a false Messiah...

Old Man: So you're the Messiah? I hear you've been doing great things.

I hear you're off to Valhalla next to get rid of the false Messiah.

Old Man: You're the Messiah, aren't you? If you are, hurry up and get (friend 3) to turn himself in to the Center.

Old Man: Did (friend 3) go to the Center? Are we saved?

Old Man: Lately I just can't get any strength into my body...

Woman: The Messiah saved my sister in Valhalla.

Woman: Is it true Valhalla was swallowed by Abaddon? I'm so worried about my sister in Valhalla...

Woman: Cutting off the air here... So the stories about the Center doing terrible things were true...

Woman: It seems I was spared... but my sister can't still be alive...

Man: A while back some guy around here was saying he'd go to the demon world. Something about the Cathedral, and dolls or whatever. Couldn't make heads or tails of it.

Man: Taking on the Center head-on... (friend 3) is really something. Nobody here trusts the Center, so (friend 3) has plenty of friends.

Man: The other day I ran into that guy who talks about going to the demon world again... He looked pretty worn out.

Man: Those Center rats are up to something dirty... With the lives of Holy Town's people held hostage, even (friend 3) can't lift a finger...

Man: The Center hasn't made a move since (friend 3) went there... What in the world happened...?

Man: Damn it... I can't get any strength into my body... Like this, I can't go anywhere...

(heroine): ...Huh? What was I doing...? Ever since they brought me to the Factory, I feel like something was controlling me... You saved me, didn't you? Thank you, (hero). How did you know where I was? ...You met Mekata! Let's go see him, quickly. He must know the truth. The real truth I want to know...

Everyone is dancing wildly.

Woman: Ahh, dancing feels sooo good!

Woman: I'm gonna dance some more! Moloch's tail? What's that supposed to be!?

Woman: More! More! I'll dance till I drop dead! The nine-headed dragon? Kuzuryu? Ha! Like I care!

(demon) is dancing.

Man: Way back, a drunk in a bar told me to collect the Pillars. Wonder what he meant? That drunk kept going on about being a messenger from Jupiter, too.

Woman: I heard a rumor there's a rave party here on full moon nights.

Woman: They say the next rave party has a dance contest too. I'm totally entering. First place gets "(item)".

Woman: When's the next rave, I wonder...

Man: All right, it's a full moon night! Full Moon Night means Moonlight Rave! LET'S DANCIN'! First up, the dance contest! Entry number 1, LET'S DANCIN'!

Man: Walk-ins are more than welcome! Fabulous prizes are waiting for you! Anyone? Anyone at all!? Enter the contest?

Yes! You there!! LET'S DANCIN'!

(hero) danced like crazy!

...And now, the winner! The winner is...

Our walk-in, this guy right here! Congratulations!

Woman: Of course I'm number one! How about that, a dance with 9 Magic! I'll be the star of the next rave too! I can't wait for the full moon.

Virtual Girl: Welcome~ In virtual space, you too can... oh my, I'm not working today~

Come to think of it, people keep telling me some weird man in a wheelchair shows up in virtual space lately. There's nothing like that in the program~

Woman: I got bored of the DISCO in Valhalla, so I came here!

Woman: Moloch's tail seems to be coming up from under the ground.

An earthquake!

(heroine): We have nothing left to lean on, nothing left to cling to... But you have me, and I have you. Come on, let's go. We'll build our world with our own hands.

STEVEN: How are you doing? Any trouble? (hero), if you're in trouble, I'll help you. From this ark, I'll take you anywhere you want to go. But only until your business there is done. Once it's done, you'll come back here.

Where would you like to go?
