Old Akasaka

There is a strangely shaped stone......

STEVEN: Hey, long time no see. Come to think of it, this is the first time we've met outside the virtual space. This terminal stone can save your record and teleport you in the demon world. I'll set it up so you can use it too. Wait outside.

TMTS: This is the terminal. How may I help you?

We look forward to serving you again.

Continue?

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.

Kobold: You're the fighting type, right? ...Nah, I can tell by the getup. Then do you know about the old smith? He reworks the weapons we dig up and makes new ones too. He's good with his hands. Won't hurt to meet him.

Kobold: Go out this floor's exit and head east, and there's a great big hole, right? That's where we dig up weapons... This is between you and me, but folks come down from the surface to buy them, too.

Kobold: There've been so many earthquakes lately the weapon digging's going nowhere. Can't get through the day without a drink.

Brownie: Through that exit you can reach a community where humans gather. They're pretty cool for humans. No offense, but you're nowhere near them. But for all their coolness, it seems they ran away from the surface.

Gaean: Down in the underworld, we Gaeans are still a force to be reckoned with... It's true!

Smith: As you can see, I'm busy. If you're just looking, get lost.

Smith: H-hey, what've you got there!? Isn't that "(item)"!? Hand it over, quick! The dwarf smith snatched "(item)" away. Smith: I'll make you something good. Sit tight and wait.

Smith: Not yet! Good work takes time. Don't rush me!

Smith: It's ready... Here. (hero) was handed "(item)".

Smith: Never thought I'd forge a masterpiece like this in my lifetime.

Smith: ...Make room in your pack and come back.

Appraiser: Welcome. I'll appraise anything for 10 macca an item.

Come again!

Nandi: Namaste! Me, Nandi-san from India. Meet you again, long time no see! Me so happy! Play Code Breaker, OK? You just guess number. Now there is hint too. Very easy.

What you do?

Come again, bring (item). Namaste.

One game, one (item). Nandi-san choose number,

Up to 8, 5 digits

digits. You put it in ANSWER. Start with R Button. Up and down change number, left and right change place, A Button to decide. JUDGE shows H and B. H is hit, number and place both right. B is blow, only number right, place wrong. All H, you win big.

HINT shows if number there or not. Double circle, that number is in that place. Circle, that number is somewhere. X, that number is not there. Use HINT good and guess right.

Guess fast, get good prize. Do your best.

You have no (item). No Code Breaker.

There is a magic box. Open it?

There was no gem in the box.

You got the gem "(item)."

(demon): Hey, hey, mister! Will you give me that pretty "(item)"?

Yay! Thank youuu!

Waaah! You're mean! So mean!

So you won't do what I

ask, huh?

Then... will you die for me?

Priest: This is the Gaea Temple.

What is your business?

Bring chaos upon this world.

No one is cursed.

All are alive.

All are well.

Priest: A disciple of the Law side, a lackey of God.

Begone at once!

......Or so I'd like to say, but if you make a fitting offering, I might let you in.\nOffer 1000 macca to the Gaea Temple?

If you won't make an offering,

Worker: Honestly, those earth spirits work you to the bone. I'm wiped out.

Worker: Truth is, I had to run from the Center because I found out a certain secret. The secret is 0920. Figure out the rest yourself.

You sense a terribly frightening demonic presence... Will you stay here?

Will you really stay?

"Town of the Earth Spirit Folk: Hard Workers Welcome"

......is what it says.

An earthquake!

FATMAN: Anybody up for a challenge? Oh, you there, young one. How about a round of Russian roulette?

So what'll it be?

If you live, see you again. Fuhaha.

You put out one of your demons, and your opponent puts out one too. So your demon is your stand-in. One bullet goes in a six-shooter, and each side pulls the trigger once in turn. Whoever's demon dies first loses. The winner gets the other side's demon as a prize. Dead, of course. Well? Lost your nerve? Just give it a try. Play once and you'll be hooked.

We need one more or there's no game. Anybody gonna take on this young one?

Voice: I'll take him on.

FATMAN: Well, if it isn't Lucky Khan! This guy's got some strong luck. This'll be something to see.

Voice: Your demons are mine... My demons are mine...

FATMAN: Timing X... So you're still alive. Nasty as ever. All right, go for it.

Voice: That guy's demon is mine.

FATMAN: That voice... Mister DNA. He's a serious gambler. Don't let him take you for a ride.

Voice: Should you really be wasting time in a place like this, (hero)?

FATMAN: You two know each other? Don't think I'll go easy on you for that.\n(friend 2): A match against you again. Sorry, but I need strong demons. To protect Anoon too.
