Valhalla Slums

Man: At last I can do my research to my heart's content. Don't get in my way. Kuhihihihihi.

Man: Hey! You can't come in here! If I let people in, my master will yell at me. Go home, go home.

Hanada: You! This is the laboratory of the great genius scientist Doctor Hanada! Keep out! I'm at an important part! What? You came to take me back!? A great genius like me must be free to do his research! Neither those Center types nor that old hag Madam understand that at all, so I decided to work on my own!! And now I've built a tunnel to the demon world! No more of the old tedious methods! From now on I can call up as many demons as I like! First, I gather the following items.

First, the "(item)."

Next, the "(item)."

Then, the "(item)."

And last, the "(item)."

I place these four, full of spirit power, where the human world and the demon world draw close. Then the entrance to the demon world opens. Behold!!

Hanada: Now, (demon)! Kill these people who are getting in my way...

Wh-wh-wha...

N-n-no...... ...I'm not... the one... you kill...

Here are the four dolls Hanada used.

"(item)"......

...obtained.

Here is the exit from the demon world that Hanada opened. It seems to be one-way only, from the demon world...... Demons are coming out!

Gaean: Ever since the Millennium was built, our Gaean faith has only grown weaker.

Gaean: The Center has abandoned Valhalla. Those who were dancing to the Messians' tune should wake up now... But it's too late...

Man: Valhalla is a free area. Even the Center can't lay a hand on it.

Man: Damn the Center! Having the demon lord Abaddon swallow all of Valhalla... They got us!

Woman: I hear Lucifuge, one of Lucifer's servants, is making macca in the demon world.

Old Man: It feels like there have been fewer tournaments lately.

You might just be the last champion.

Old Man: You, the Messiah? That's only what the Center says.

Man: There used to be demons all over town, but now only a few show up.

I hear Madam has a scientist working for her summon the demons that fight in the Colosseum.

Man: So even the streets of Valhalla have demons roaming them now......

Mekata: ...It has been a long time, (hero)... It's me... Not that you would remember me. I've heard all sorts of rumors. Your power turned out greater than I ever expected. Could it be your memory has come back? It seems the time has come to tell you the truth about yourself...... But first, I have a favor to ask. Do you remember the woman who came from the Center to see you? She is a prisoner now, in the Factory. Will you rescue her? She went outside to look for a missing boy, and the Center charged her with desertion. Please, (hero), rescue her. If you do, I will tell you everything...... To reach the place where she is held, you must go through the underground world. Ask the man on the westernmost street of the passage that links Valhalla and the Center, and he should be able to help. Please. You are my only hope.

Mekata: Please hurry and rescue (heroine). I'm begging you.

To reach the place where she is held, you must go through the underground world. Ask the man on the westernmost street of the passage that links Valhalla and the Center, and he should be able to help. Please. You are my only hope.

Mekata: Oh... (hero). So you came all the way into (demon)'s belly. I never thought the Center, no, the Senate, would have (demon) swallow Valhalla. The Senate did not want you and me to meet. They knew I was hiding in Valhalla, but they couldn't find me. And Valhalla was of no more use to the Center. So they had the demon lord (demon) swallow Valhalla. That way they could get rid of me, a nuisance, and an area they no longer needed, all at once. Now, since you are here together, you must have rescued (heroine) from the prison camp. Then I will tell you the truth.

(hero), the truth is, you are a man the Center made to be its savior. After the Great Destruction long ago, the world lay in ruins. The Messian Church set out to build a Thousand-Year Kingdom with its own hands to save the people. That is the "TOKYO Millennium." Then they waited for a savior to appear. But the savior they longed for...... never came. So the Center's Senate tried to make the savior they wanted with their own hands. That savior, (hero), is you. At the same time, four people around you were made with biotechnology. (her) was your partner. (friend 1) was the Messiah of the virtual world, used to test the Thousand-Year Kingdom. (friend 2) was the Anti-Messiah, meant to be defeated to raise the savior's charisma. And (friend 3) was there to keep watch over you...... But you alone are different. First, a human fertilized egg was enhanced at the bio lab and placed inside a young, gifted woman. That is how you were born. You were taken from the woman who carried you right away, and raised more than ten years' worth in a single day......

Will you hear my story again?

(heroine): ......N-no...... It can't be...... That can't be......\nMekata: ...It's true. (heroine)'s child is (hero).\n(heroine): ........................

Mekata: I too followed the Center's orders without a single doubt... But this Messiah Project was more than I could bear...... Making their own savior...... using my daughter in the project, all of it. I worked with Hanada to erase your memory, set off a bombing at the Center, and escaped. (heroine)...... I wanted to take you too, but there was no time to erase the memories planted in you as a Temple Knight. Yet you went out on your own to search for (hero). Even I didn't see that coming. Now, whatever the demon lord (demon) swallows will soon vanish. It seems this is my end too. You two must get out of here. Take the "(item)." With this you can make (demon) take solid form. Defeat it and escape.\nYou got the "(item)."\nMekata: Farewell, my finest work, Prototype 1...... Farewell, my beloved daughter......

(heroine): Wait! Tell me more! Let me hear more! You were my father all along...... (hero) is my child...... What does that even mean!

Tell me more! Don't just vanish on me! ......Coward!!

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,

Owner: It's the Repair Garage!

What can I do for youuu?

Thank youuu very much!

Everyone's all good!

(demon): Not that way! Right! Go right.

(demon): I can smell it from the left.

(demon): Go forward, then turn right.

(demon): Go right, then take the stairs at the back. I can smell it from the floor below.
