The Tyrant of Tennozu

Right now, Tokyo is a barren wasteland, but one day, I shall turn it into a verdant land of harvest in abundance.
When the time comes, I would like to know that I may call upon you...
And to that end, I have a favor to ask of you.
I know what you are.
You are one of the true gods that were sealed away long ago. A Nahobino.
I'm sure you know of an area called Tennozu, yes?
A Tyrant has appeared there, dwelling at the peak of a mountain.
Once a ruthless god, now a ruthless demon... Demanding tribute and sacrifice from the weak...
Were his dark reign to be restored, the fertile future I envision will be forever beyond my grasp.
So, then? Will you slay the Tyrant for me?
A fruitful partnership indeed! Thank you kindly!
In any case, best of luck. I hope your efforts will bear fruit.
Oh, I see. How unfortunate.
Something keeps you on guard. I can't imagine why, but I can see you do not trust me.
No matter. Do come back if you change your mind, though.
Oh? Have you perhaps changed your mind?
Will you slay the Tyrant residing in Tennozu for me?
The Tyrant awaits at the peak of a mountain in Tennozu. Fond of high places, perhaps.
In any case, best of luck. I hope your efforts will bear fruit.
So you've defeated the Tyrant. You have brought blessings of all kinds to this land!
This has brought me one step closer to a rich, bountiful Tokyo!
I must commend you, as well. That Tyrant was once a king among his kind, yet you dispatched him with such ease.
Truly, of all this world's yields, the Nahobino must be one of the most vibrant with life, with strength, with potential.
Do you understand? You are but one ear of rice in a precious, sparse crop. Stand tall, and do not let this world break you.
I want you to see you grow big, healthy, and strong.
As such, a time will come when we meet again. I, the goddess Demeter, declare it so.
Until then, may your soul's bud bloom unmarred by cruel claw or frost's bite...
I cannot thank you enough for your help. Now then, until we meet again.

The Horn of Plenty

So we meet again. What perfect timing.
I have a bit of a problem. Could I ask for your help again?
Do you recall I said that I wanted to turn Tokyo into a fertile land with a wonderful harvest?
In order to do that, I require a divine instrument known as the (target).
Given the vast expanse of this land, I could probably do with one more, but I digress...
Now then, will you assist me in finding a (target)?
*giggle* I had a feeling you would say that. Thank you.
That reminds me, a fellow demon told me there is a frightening horned beast somewhere in this area...
It was only hearsay, but do look into it if you believe this seed may bear fruit.
The (target), then. I shall leave it to you.
Oh? Could it be? Do you have a (target)?

Oh, what a bountiful harvest! This is without a doubt a (target)!
Why, you had it before I'd even asked. I am quite impressed.
Oh, I see. How unfortunate.
Could it be you are doing this on purpose, just to torment me? How cruel of you.
But I believe that you will do it eventually. Do come back if you change your mind.
Oh? Could it be you've changed your mind?
Will you assist me in finding a (target)?
The (target) must come from a goat horn, and one from the Holy race at that.
Because of this, a horn imbued with magic from a demon such as Baphomet cannot become a (target).
In any case, good luck. I expect you will deliver me a grand harvest.
Have you found a (target)?
What a bountiful harvest! This is without a doubt a (target)!
This is the horn of Chimera, a beast that was abandoned by my younger brother, Zeus. So this is where it ended up.
This is the horn of Chimera, a beast that was abandoned by my younger brother, Zeus. So this is where it ended up.
Oh my, have you been idling here instead of carrying out your duties?
I say, (hero). Might I ask you something?
For the sake of a fertile land, I ended up sacrificing this beast for its horn.
How do you feel when it comes to making sacrifices?

That's true. I suppose I needn't have asked.
We have all made sacrifices to get to where we are now.
I understand. The world would be such a beautiful place if that were possible.
If that is what you believe, then I wholeheartedly wish for you to make that a reality.
But with the world as it is, eventually, we must all make sacrifices... No, that's not right. Sacrifices are bound to appear no matter what we do.
That is why we must pay our respects to everything that we sacrifice.
As the ones doing the harvesting, we should always keep that foremost in our minds.
...You must think I'm strange for asking such a question. I apologize.
But I feel a little better after hearing your answer.
Thank you for everything. I hope you will help me again should something else crop up.
Until then, take care not to have your life nipped in the bud. Good day!
Oh, not yet? That's no problem at all. I will wait patiently for my request to bloom.

Roar of Hatred

Oh, yes! I had one more favor to ask of you.
It's a task not unlike what you did when you slayed the Tyrant before.
A long time ago, there was a shop known to harvest meat in Awajicho.
It would seem another Tyrant has taken position atop a roof there.
A long time ago, there was a shop known to harvest meat in Shinjuku.
It would seem another Tyrant has taken position there in West Shinjuku.
And like the Tyrant that appeared in Tennozu, this is another god who hungers for sacrifices.
How about it? Will you slay the Tyrant for me?
What a bountiful harvest! I knew I could rely on you, (hero)!
In any case, good luck. I expect you will deliver me a grand harvest.
Oh my...
Come now, surely you don't mean that. I believe that you will answer my call, in the end.
I shall wait until you change your mind.
Oh? Could it be you've changed your mind?
Will you slay the Tyrant that has appeared on the rooftop for me?
Will you slay the Tyrant that has appeared in West Shinjuku for me?
The Tyrant is in a place called Awajicho. I understand you're familiar with the area... You'll find him atop one of the buildings there. Could it be he fancies high places as well?
The Tyrant is in a place called West Shinjuku...
You'll find him at a large derelict structure called Shinjuku Station.
In any case, good luck. I expect you will deliver me a grand harvest.

You've defeated the Tyrant! What a grand harvest indeed!
I'm one step closer to a rich and fertile world.
...Is something the matter?

I see. So now the Tyrants have set their sights on you.
I am responsible for that. After all, I was the one who sent you.
For a golden ear of rice such as yourself, I suppose it's natural that some demons would take notice.
Very well then. I shall take greater care to watch over you.
If I sense any danger, I will notify you immediately.
Stay ever vigilant! Now then, good day to you!

The Bull God's Lineage

(hero)! There you are.
I have some very important information that I must relay to you.
The demon that is after you is none other than Baal!
Baal is the leader of those Tyrants that you defeated, Belphegor and Moloch.
He was also the ruler before the Creator took the throne.
It would have been bad enough if he'd persisted as a Tyrant with only a portion of his power, but it seems he's now returned in his true form.
This is a very grave situation!

Oh my! You sensed what I was thinking and suggested it first!
But he is on a completely different level compared to those Tyrants you've faced. Are you sure you'll be okay?
Yes, it truly is... You must be a serious threat to them.
Well, given the situation, I have a proposal. Now that a previous ruler has appeared, we have no choice but to eliminate him.
Instead of waiting to be attacked, we should strike first!
What do you think?

What a bountiful harvest! I knew I could rely on you, (hero)!
Do you remember Tennozu? That is where you previously defeated Belphegor. And that is where Baal will appear too.
In any case, good luck. I expect you will deliver me a grand harvest.
Oh, I see...
A Deity such as Baal would certainly be a harrowing opponent. I can't blame you for your decision.
It may be best if you grew a bit stronger first.
Oh, (hero).
Baal is a demon the likes of which you've never faced up until now.
Are you prepared to face one of the former rulers of this world?
Baal will appear at the Tennozu mountain peak. It seems he has a liking for high places.
In any case, good luck. I expect you will deliver me a grand harvest.

I can't believe it. You defeated the former ruler of this world. What an extraordinarily grand harvest!
You deserve this bountiful reward!
And with that, there are no other obstacles in my way.
......
Say, (hero)...
No, never mind. Sorry to bother you.
I just remembered I have some urgent business. So I must be going now.
Good day to you!

A Plot Revealed

Oh, (hero)...
You... deserve to know. I owe you an apology.
I approached you that you might get rid of those evil demons in my way...
But at the end of it all, I was planning on killing you myself.
I'm afraid it's true... I have been deceiving you!

What? So you were aware after all...
You always did seem quite suspicious of me...
But that is why I want to protect you! That way, I can truly atone!
You're so kind, (hero). Somehow, I had a feeling you would forgive me...
But I know I'm the one in the wrong. That's why I shall protect you with my life!
I understand. There is but one way for me to atone, and it is with my life.
And so, that is precisely what I will do!
Very soon, Zeus will be here. He knows just how strong you are, so he will surely hold nothing back...
Yes... Zeus, too, traces his origin back to the bull god. By using your soul, he can achieve his form as a Nahobino.
Originally, my plan was to kill you, that I might see Zeus claim the throne, after which he would create the rich and fertile world I dreamed of.
But now... Between you and Zeus as potential rulers, I know that you would guide and cherish humanity all the more.
But I believe you will cherish and guide humanity more than Zeus ever would.
After seeing what sort of person you are... how could I think otherwise?
So my course is set! Should you and Zeus end up opposed... I will stand with you.
In fact, you should leave here quickly. Make for the throne while you can.
Should you claim it, your soul would be no good to him anymore. He will give up the chase.
Should you shatter it, your soul would be no good to him anymore. He will give up the chase.
What will you do? Will you confront Zeus?

Such abundant blessings you give me! Yet I would expect no less of you, (hero)!
Then I shall go with you. Are you fully prepared to face him?

Um... You don't appear to have the room for me.
We still have time before Zeus arrives. Please, make some space so I may join you.
There's still some time before Zeus arrives.
Come back here once you're ready. And do make sure you have room on your team for me.
In that case, you should leave this place and make for the throne.
I will hold Zeus here. With luck, I will distract him long enough for you to claim the throne.
I will hold Zeus here. With luck, I will distract him long enough for you to destroy the throne.
This... is where I repay you!
(hero)? You must hurry to the throne.
Or... do you intend to fight Zeus yourself?
Now, (hero), are you prepared?
Ah...! Zeus is here!

I won't allow that! I've chosen to side with (hero)!

Ah, you have reaped a truly great harvest! You truly are the greatest ear of rice!
And likewise, the seeds you scatter shall yield a future of unimaginable plenty... It falls to us to sow those seeds across the world!
Come on, let's go!
...Ahem. That is... let us depart!
