Tokyo Diet Building

  • The demons have finally made their assault! We have to find a way to restore the barrier, and fast...
  • Bethel HQ closed off the underground of the Diet Building in order to prevent the Japanese branch from taking part... Luckily, that won't be a problem.
  • Exit the Diet Building, then head towards the leyline fount. Head left at the large rock out front, then make your way down the slope.
  • Keep going, and eventually you'll see some subway tracks. Following those will take you to Chuo.
  • Bethel HQ doesn't seem to care much for the Japanese branch. I wonder if it's because of the way Director Koshimizu handles things.
  • You defeated Arioch? Well, I guess now Bethel HQ will have no choice but to recognize the Japanese branch!
  • All of Bethel's various branches have broken off... Leaves me to wonder what's going to happen to the human staffers like us.

Da'at: Minato

  • If you're heading to Chuo, head down this incline, then follow the subway line that runs under the Diet Building.

  • So this demon attacked the Tokyo Diet Building in the netherworld? And it sounds like she was even working with a human ally...
  • Who are they? What the hell's going on?
  • Bethel Japan's short on numbers these days. Can't do much to fight back... If this place gets targeted, we're finished. You should be careful too.
  • I thought it was bad enough that demons were invading our city, but now we've got some nutjob with a katana raiding our lab too. This "Yakumo"...
  • I guess he wanted the demon summoning program. Stole some devices from a batch meant for the self- defense forces... They all had it pre-installed.
  • What's he really trying to achieve, though?
  • This "Yakumo" stole several devices with the demon summoning program installed on them. But what's his angle? What's he trying to do?
  • Sounds like that Yakumo broke in again. The logs suggest he definitely found out about Bethel's joint summit, but I take it he didn't show up there himself.
  • Glad to hear he didn't cause any trouble, but don't relax yet. He's definitely watching for our next move.
  • Though after watching that fiasco, he might just be gloating. Seeing Bethel so divided is probably exactly what he wants.
  • Feels like Bethel's falling apart after that summit. Yakumo probably couldn't be happier.

Medical Research Lab

  • This whole mess started eighteen years ago... Back when this netherworld we call Da'at first appeared in Tokyo.
  • It was just nonstop carnage in those early days. We lost Japan's myriad gods in that war against the demonic hordes. That's when Bethel HQ stepped in.
  • Director Koshimizu's handled things well... Startlingly well, considering he's also the prime minister. But without him, HQ would have taken us over long ago.
  • I've heard Japan's integration into Bethel— I mean, way back when the myriad gods were still around—went relatively smoothly.
  • Then again, the Kunitsukami weren't too happy about the Amatsukami making that call. They even directly rebelled against them from time to time.
  • After Armageddon forced the myriad gods of Japan to expend their powers and go into hiding, the Japanese branch's strength was depleted, and was therefore in danger of being absorbed.
  • That's why we used the Proto-fiend technology and mass-produced the Aogami model, to prove that we could still fight.
  • Because in Japan, Proto-fiends have been created and deployed as heroes time and time again for as long as anyone can remember.

Medical Research Lab

  • That Yakumo raided our labs again. Seems like he was looking for data on the Qadištu this time.
  • All the evidence suggested he's more fixated on them than he is on Bethel right now. Couldn't tell you why, though.
  • If he knows something about them, maybe he could even help us...
  • It's like Yakumo's obsessed with the Qadištu...

Medical Research Lab

  • Humans turning to salt...? What the hell is happening out there?
  • Bethel Japan's already stretched so thin after the losses 18 years ago, and now all this...?
  • We've told the public we're investigating the reason people are collapsing... but how are we supposed to explain this?
  • Our job is to support the people without revealing the truth. We can't do that and put their minds at ease at the same time.
  • All we can do is rely on Director Koshimizu. The prime minister might be the only one who can handle all this...
