Scathach and Setanta
- ScathachIt's been while, Setanta.
- SetantaAh, Master! So you had come to the netherworld as well.
- ScathachIt's not as if I wanted to though... The battles came to me and won't leave me alone. How reminiscent of my battle against Aife in the past.
- SetantaThis must be deemed by fate as well. You and I both live for battles after all...
- ScathachConsidering you though, I assume you came to this netherworld to train?
- SetantaThat is absolutely correct! I spend my time day in and day out training so that I may live up to your name.
- ScathachI like the fire I'm seeing in you. When you had first come to the Land of Shadows, you looked nothing more than a mischievous child... But now you have the face of an admirable hero.
- SetantaA hero...! I like the sound of that...
- SetantaIt's all thanks to your teachings that the current me stands before you like this... Please, I'd like for you to accept this. I will be praying for the fortunes of war to be in your favor.

Hydra and Cerberus
- HydraYou... Could it be that you are Cerberus?
- CerberusYES, I AM CERBERUS! AND WHO ARE YOU?
- HydraI am Hydra. My father is Typhon, and my mother is Echidna. Therefore, I am your brother.
- CerberusHMM!? SO YOU'RE HYDRA! WE FINALLY MEET, BROTHER! IT'S BEEN TOO LONG! TO THINK IT WOULDN'T HAPPEN UNTIL THE FIFTH GAME!
- HydraGame...? What are you talking about?
- CerberusNOT IMPORTANT. I'M JUST SAYING IT'S BEEN A LONG WAIT!
- HydraA long wait indeed. I've managed to remember you despite so much time apart, brother. But, sadly, I've nearly forgotten the others.
- CerberusAH, ORTHRUS AND CHIMERA! NO WORRIES! SOMEDAY WE WILL ALL SEE EACH OTHER AGAIN!
- HydraI pray you are right. For the time being, however, the netherworld is embroiled in war... We'll have to get through this first.
- CerberusHMM! A LOT OF FIGHTING AHEAD FOR US BOTH, THEN. HERE, TAKE THIS! IT'S SURE TO HELP!
- CerberusI'LL BE GOING NOW. AWOOOOO!
- HydraMay we meet again, brother.
Koppa Tengu and Kurama Tengu

- Kurama TenguOh? Fancy meeting you here, Koppa Tengu... Well done on making it this far.
- Koppa TenguYeah, I've been tagging along with this guy here!
- Kurama TenguAh, so you are following this demon and building your strength, is that it?
- Kurama TenguCome, then. Show me the results of your training!
- Koppa TenguWhoa, whoa, wait a sec! There's no way I could beat you!
- Kurama TenguHahaha... I jest. Keep honing your skills so that you might one day become as powerful a tengu as I.

- Koppa TenguAw, score! Hey, thanks a lot!

Barong and Rangda
- BarongHRM...! RANGDA! YOU AGAIN!?
- RangdaThat's my line, Barong. You really never let up, do you?
- BarongAS LONG AS YOU LIVE, I WILL APPEAR NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES IT TAKES!
- RangdaYes, I am aware. It is our fate, after all.
- BarongGOOD, YOU UNDERSTAND. IT MAKES THINGS EASIER!
- RangdaPerhaps. But you know... Even if that is the case, I'm starting to get sick of how persistent you are. Could it be that you're just interested in me?
- BarongWHAT...?
- RangdaWe've fought so many times that you couldn't possibly forget about me now... Maybe you just can't live without me?
- BarongHRM! THAT'S PREPOSTEROUS! YOU'RE CREEPY! AND ANNOYING TOO!
- RangdaHm!? Aw, don't be like that! Would it kill you to at least show a softer, cuter side of you once in a while?
- BarongI'M NOT CUTE! I AM A HOT STUD! SUPER COOL!
- RangdaWhat, are you some kind of hero of justice now? All right, then. I'll act my part as the evil heroine, so let's get to it!
- BarongYOU'RE NO HEROINE! YOU'RE A WICKED OLD HAG!
- RangdaAnd you're just BEGGING to die, aren't you!?
Yoshitsune and Kurama Tengu
- YoshitsuneAh! You're my teacher from Kurama!
- Kurama TenguIndeed. It has been a while, Ushiwakamaru.
- YoshitsuneHaha... Hearing that name brings back memories.
- Kurama TenguOur days of training are long since past. Have you continued to devote yourself to your path?
- YoshitsuneOf course! Surely you must have heard of the many feats I've accomplished.
- Kurama TenguTrue, your legends are countless. However, I do not speak of your past feats. I am asking if you are still devoting yourself even now.
- YoshitsuneYou're implying that I'm resting on my laurels and my skills have dulled... Is that correct?
- YoshitsuneWell then! Would you care to test me!?
- Kurama Tengu...!
- Yoshitsune...!
- Kurama TenguThat won't be necessary. It's been long since we've crossed paths, so let us simply enjoy our reunion. It seems the fire in your eyes hasn't dwindled one bit, after all.
- YoshitsuneA fire, you say? Hm, that is indeed true! I'm burning brighter now than ever before!
- Kurama TenguI imagine it's partly attributed to that young demon with you...?
- YoshitsuneBattle follows him wherever he goes. And the struggles that ensue are often against powerful foes unlike anything I've ever seen! Won't you join us as well, Master?
- Kurama TenguNo, I have my own journey ahead of me... However, allow me to present this to you.
- Kurama TenguContinue devoting yourself to your own path!
Black Frost and Jack Frost

- King FrostHee-hohoho. Well, let me see, ho... Ah, yes! Should you ever open a cup of ice cream, and there's some of it stuck to the lid...
- King FrostThrow it away without licking it off!
- Jack FrostHee-HO! What a waste, ho! Such luxury-ho!
- King FrostDo you think you can manage? Hoho!
- Jack FrostI... I don't think so, ho...

Belphegor and Shiki-Ouji
- BelphegorOh! You there!
- Shiki-OujiYou have business with me?
- BelphegorYour body is made of paper... This is perfect! Might I ask a favor of you?
- Shiki-OujiHm! Well I certainly can't turn down a request for help! Go on then! What do you need?
- BelphegorI've just run out of paper, you see. Would you mind if I used you instead?
- Shiki-Ouji......
- Belphegor......
- Shiki-OujiVile degenerate, I'll end you!
- BelphegorW-Wait! That's not fair! You'd really lay into someone while they're on the John!?
- Shiki-OujiN-Not fair...!? Rgh...! It goes against my nature to fight dishonorably...
- BelphegorWhew... That was a close one. Now then, if I could just borrow your leg for a sec.
- Shiki-OujiEnough of that, you filth! Use this if you must!
- BelphegorWill this be enough? I've had some pretty intense blasts as of late...
- Shiki-OujiRrgh!
- Shiki-OujiI should warn you, that paper is thick... Don't blame me if that infernal toilet of yours gets clogged!
Belphegor and Mermaid
- BelphegorOh! You're...!
- MermaidWhat about me...?
- BelphegorIt seems you can control water... Yes, you're truly just what I've been looking for! Might I ask a favor of you?
- MermaidI don't know... I'm not sure if I can help anyone. But I guess I'll give it a try... What do you need me to do?
- BelphegorWell, you see, things have gotten a bit clogged down below. Care to flush out these pipes for me?
- Mermaid......
- Belphegor......
- MermaidFLUSH OUT THE PIPES!? I'll FLUSH YOU TO THE DARKEST DEPTHS OF THE OCEAN!
- BelphegorW-Wait! Hold on a moment! If you sink me as I am now, you'll only be polluting the water on account of my—
- MermaidN-No! I could never let something like that out into the water!
- BelphegorWhew... Close call. Now then, if you could get the brown flowing down, I'd—
- MermaidShut up! Shut up! Here, use this instead!
- BelphegorHmm, think it might take a bit more, yes? It's a borderline wasteland beneath these cheeks...
- MermaidSHUT UP!
- MermaidNext time, I'll flush you away too!
Mermaid and Kelpie
- MermaidI know you... You're a Kelpie, yes?
- KelpieAnd I know you. Aren't you a Mermaid?
- MermaidI heard that you lure people in and drown them... Is that true?
- KelpieHm? Oh, yeah. I mean, don't you sink ships into the ocean too? We're like... the Sinker Sisters!
- MermaidU-Um... So what's it like to make people drown?
- KelpieWhat's it like? Uhh... Normal, I guess? Sometimes it's like, "Haha, screw you!" Or sometimes it's, "What an idiot! I can't believe you fell for that."
- Mermaid...I see.
- KelpieWhat about you?
- Mermaid...... I'm sorry.
- KelpieHuh? What're you sorry for? What, you don't enjoy sinking ships?
- MermaidI... I just want to sing. Sing songs about the water, the wind, and the waves... But sailors always end up being lured in by those songs and get sent to the bottom of the sea. It's for that reason, they... They say I'm a bad omen.
- KelpieHuh... So that's why you're all gloomy and sad.
- Mermaid......
- KelpieC'mon, you shouldn't be so hard on yourself. They're the dumb ones for letting themselves get sunk. But if you really don't want to hurt people like that, maybe you can give 'em some sort of charm to protect 'em. Here, why don't you try using this?
- KelpieHere's hoping we can get in on the action together someday! Go, Sinker Sisters!
- MermaidUm... I don't know about that name...
- The demon left...
Demeter and Kaya-no-Hime
- DemeterMmm! I can feel it! Could you be a harvest goddess?
- Kaya-no-HimeHar-vest? Hmmm... Swish-swoosh. Pardon me, but I don't understand foreign words.
- DemeterOh dear. A harvest is, well... a harvest!
- Kaya-no-HimeSwish-swoosh. I don't swishy-understand-swoosh.
- DemeterThis swish-swoosh you keep mentioning... What is it?
- Kaya-no-HimeSwish-swoosh is swish-swoosh. Swoosh!
- DemeterWell, this is a problem... It seems I am unable to communicate with her.
- Kaya-no-HimeHmmm? I see! You're a goddess of abundant crops that go swish-swoosh!
- DemeterTh-That's correct! I'm a goddess of fertility, and abundant crops are my specialty!
- Kaya-no-HimeMe too! I am a goddess that brings a swish-swoosh of crops!
- DemeterAh, so I was right. I'm glad to hear that my intuition wasn't mistaken. So that swish-swoosh you keep mentioning must be about the harvest, no?
- Kaya-no-HimeSwish! Swish-swoosh is har-vest! If you swish-swoosh with me, we'll have a swish-swoosh har-vest!
- DemeterUmm... Am I supposed to join in with you on this?
- Kaya-no-HimeSwish-swoooosh!
- DemeterSwish-swoooosh!
- Kaya-no-HimeOho! What a swish-swoosh har-vest!
- DemeterI must agree. I'm sure it'll be a wonderful harvest!
- Kaya-no-HimeHmmm? It seems it's grown already. Here! A blessing for you!
- DemeterMy, thank you!
- Kaya-no-HimeSwish-swoosh.
- DemeterSwish-swoosh.
Vishnu and Hanuman
- VishnuAh, it's you, Hanuman!
- HanumanHm? Have we met before? Perhaps we're not complete strangers, but I can't quite remember.
- VishnuHaha... I'm not surprised. I looked rather different last we met. Does the name Rama sound familiar to you?
- HanumanAh, prince Rama! I see now... So prince Rama was one of your avatars.
- VishnuI must thank you for your help back then. Without you, I never would have been able to kill Ravana and rescue Sita.
- HanumanHahaha. Please, your kind words are wasted on a senile old fool such as myself.
- HanumanBy the way, how are things these days? Seems you're traveling alongside that young'un there...
- VishnuI am. He's asked for my help. This world is reaching a turning point, and as fate would have it, he holds the key.
- HanumanIt must be a serious matter if you're here in your true form and not that of an avatar. Here, take this. May it serve you in battle.
- The demon left...
Kaiwan and Decarabia
- KaiwanHEY! What's the meaning of this!?
- Decarabia...... You're the one who just appeared out of nowhere and started yelling at me. I should be asking you that.
- KaiwanDon't act like you're the victim here! What's with that get-up of yours!?
- DecarabiaMy get-up?
- KaiwanYou're shaped like a star! You're clearly copying my look!
- Decarabia......
- Kaiwan......
- Decarabia...Huh.
- KaiwanThat's really all you have to say!?
- DecarabiaIt's just a coincidence. Lots of demons look alike.
- KaiwanA coincidence? Like hell it is!
- Decarabia...... Well, even if it wasn't a coincidence, what are you going to do about it?
- KaiwanIsn't it obvious!? I'm gonna give you a makeover! I'll split your arms so you have at least six or seven... Or maybe I can eat some of them and leave you with three or four!
- Decarabia...Right.
- KaiwanSo you agree? Well, let's get to it, then!
- DecarabiaHold up. I could say the exact same thing about you.
- Kaiwan...What's that now?
- DecarabiaMaybe you're the one copying me. In which case, it should be ME splitting and/or eating YOUR arms...
- KaiwanEeeeek!
- DecarabiaSo you agree? Well, all right, then. Stretch 'em out.
- KaiwanW-Wait! Let's not be hasty here... M-Maybe this was just a coincidence after all! I mean, as star buddies, we should try and get along, right?
- DecarabiaYou should have said so from the start... Okay. Then, to commemorate our new friendship, I'll give you this.
- KaiwanHmm? Kind of a cheap gift for a new friend...
- Decarabia...I guess that's true. Here, have another one.
- The demon left...
Cait Sith and Nekomata
- Cait SithHo there, maiden fair! I don't suppose you'd... care to have tea with me?
- Nekomata...Huh?
- Cait SithYou and I are both felines of the world... Let us discuss grand, worldly affairs! Trivial amusements! Or nothing at all!
- Nekomata...What?
- Cait SithOf course, being a gentleman myself, I would be happy to prepare a drink fit for such a lady... My prized blend of catnip tea!
- Nekomata... Uh, you're not making any sense. Who are you?
- Cait SithAh, my sincerest apologies! I really ought to have introduced myself first...
- Cait SithI am Cait Sith. A dauntless feline hero, and wanderer of the netherworld!
- NekomataO... kay...? Thanks for clearing that up, I guess? So, what do you want?
- Cait SithWell... I was rather hoping you might join me for tea.
- NekomataUhh... no.
- Cait SithWhat!? Why?
- NekomataI mean, you seem super shady. You talk weird, and you definitely dress weird.
- Cait SithShady? Why, nothing could be farther from the truth, milady! You may not think it to look at me, but I preside over my own kingdom!
- NekomataWait, really...? No way! So, like, where is this kingdom of yours?
- Cait SithInside the gnarled hollows of trees, and abandoned houses.
- NekomataWow, gross AND lame!
- Cait SithWell, I never! They say "home is where you make it," no!?
- NekomataNot if it's just a delusion. My home's gotta be real, and it's gotta be comfy. Before I became a demon, I used to be a housecat in this merchant's fancy mansion in the classy part of town. I'm not gonna settle for anything but the best food, the best clothes, and the best home.
- Cait SithThe food and shelter I can understand, but... what manner of housecat needs clothing?
- NekomataSays the cat wearing a stupid ren faire costume!
- NekomataYeah, no way in hell I'm going out with you. See you never.
- Cait Sith was shot down...
Manananggal and Loup-garou
- ManananggalOh, you're... Yes, I sense a similar scent from you...
- Loup-garouAn honor, mademoiselle. To share the scent of such a beautiful lady is a privilege greater than I deserve.
- ManananggalEven after seeing how hideous I am, you insist on calling me beautiful...? Heh. Such a flatterer.
- Loup-garouAh, but it is nothing so disingenuous as flattery. Truly, you ARE beautiful—within and without.
- ManananggalWho could honestly say such a thing but a man clad in the same scent? Indeed... Both paragons of beauty and elegance in the day, but monsters and horrors by the light of the moon.
- Loup-garou...It seems you are well-informed indeed, mademoiselle.
- ManananggalI did hear that a man committed a grave offense against a certain lord in France, and was cursed with lycanthropy as punishment... ...So the story goes, at least.
- Loup-garouOui, c'est moi... Such is my lot. To live a life between man and wolf... to live in eternal flux, eternal suffering.
- ManananggalIndeed? Tell me, do you suffer even now?
- Loup-garouOf course I am. The gulf between day and night, man and wolf— that pain does not merely weigh on my body. When I think of my life of honor and dignity, and how far I have fallen from grace...
- ManananggalHahahaha... Body and soul, then. You speak as if you know nothing BUT suffering.
- Loup-garouDo you not suffer, too, torn as you are?
- ManananggalNot I. It was not the world that tore me apart... No, this is my art. In ripping myself apart, I rip through the world itself, and transform it to my liking.
- ManananggalAnd as I do... I become truly beautiful!
- Loup-garouC'est vrai... Yes, therein lies the core of your beauty...
- ManananggalI know this life was not one you chose. But there is no returning to your former self. So why not let go of your suffering? Learn to see what beauty remains in your life, without AND within?
- Loup-garou...Oui. Fine words, worth considering.
- Loup-garouVraiment, I confess your kind words have lightened my heart. Please, accept a humble token of my gratitude.
- Loup-garouAu revoir!
Fionn mac Cumhaill and Setanta
- Fionn mac CumhaillWell, if it isn't Setanta!
- SetantaYou're... Fionn? Is that you, Fionn mac Cumhaill?
- Fionn mac CumhaillYou're quite a ways from your homeland now. Never thought I'd run into you out here. Planning to make a new name for yourself? Accomplish some more grand feats?
- Fionn mac CumhaillOr are you another aspirant to the throne, eh? Just like all the others?
- SetantaI'm only wandering the lands to train myself... I have no interest in a throne. If I'd expect to see anyone atop a king's throne, it might be you.
- Fionn mac CumhaillPlease. I am certainly no king. Quite the contrary—I was looking for a liege to serve, myself.
- SetantaTrue. A knight needs his king... and I admit that does suit you better. So? Did you find a worthy liege to serve?
- Fionn mac Cumhaill...Yes. I did.
- SetantaYou speak of that sharp-eyed demon, yes? I knew he was no ordinary demon, but... is he truly strong enough to be a king?
- Fionn mac CumhaillPower alone does not a king make. It is what a man does with power that marks him as a king.
- SetantaAnd how do you imagine he'll wield his power?
- Fionn mac CumhaillI'll find out soon enough. How about you? Would you like to join us?
- Setanta......
- SetantaTempting, but I must decline. I have a long way to go before I enter anyone's service. First, I must temper my skills against the fiends and foes that roam this netherworld.
- Fionn mac CumhaillCulann's hound still hungers for battle, eh? Yes, I'd expect nothing less.
- SetantaI will be praying for you and your king's victory from the shadows. But I'd like you to have a parting gift, at least.

Hydra and Yamata-no-Orochi
- HydraSo you are Yamata-no-Orochi... I have heard many things about you.
- Yamata-no-OrochiHMM? WHO ARE YOU!?
- HydraI am Hydra. I am the one who will end your reign!
- Yamata-no-OrochiHISSSSSS! DON'T MAKE ME LAUGH! I HAVE EIGHT HEADS! NONE CAN SURPASS ME!
- HydraIndeed. You are a great snake with eight heads, and you've long claimed to be the strongest. However, look at me. Pray tell, how many heads do I have?
- Yamata-no-OrochiHMM!? LET ME SEE...
- Yamata-no-OrochiONE... TWO... THREE... ...... ARGH! I LOSE TRACK AT FIVE!
- HydraThen, I shall tell you...
- HydraI have nine heads!
- Yamata-no-OrochiWHAT!? MORE THAN ME!?
- HydraAnd being the one with the most heads, I now lay claim to being the strongest. As such, you are nothing more than an oversized snake.
- Yamata-no-OrochiHISSSSSSSS! I WON'T ALLOW IT! I'LL EAT YOUR HEADS WHOLE!
Hayataro and Nue
- HayataroHm!? You!
- NueWHAT ABOUT ME?
- HayataroYou couldn't possibly be one of those pesky monkeys I slayed so long ago, could you?
- NueHMM!? WELL I DO HAVE A MONKEY FACE! BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT! YOU'VE GOT THE WRONG MONKEY!
- HayataroOh? So you intend to feign ignorance? I suppose it was easy enough for you to deceive the gods at the village in Totomi...
- NueT-TOTOMI...? I-I DON'T KNOW A TOTOMI! SERIOUSLY, I'M INNOCENT!
- HayataroI know not how you survived, but... Now that you've dared to show yourself to me, you won't escape!
- NueH-HEY, LISTEN! IT WASN'T ME!
- HayataroPrepare yourself, filth!
- NueAWOOOO! LOOK, JUST LET ME GO, AND I'LL GIVE YOU THIS!

Odin and Valkyrie
- OdinValkyrie, how goes the gathering of warriors' souls?
- ValkyrieYes, my king, it goes well. We have been capturing them before they can make their return to Paradise and sending them to Valhalla.
- OdinHave there been any interferences?
- ValkyrieNone that we cannot handle. That Nahobino seems to have provided the perfect diversion for us.
- OdinHahaha... So it's just as I had planned! In the end, even the Nahobino that was once a great hindrance can be used for our grand purpose.
- OdinYes, though I am now under the Nahobino's command, all is not lost. Continue to gather warriors in Valhalla and quietly wait for our next opportunity. Wisdom shall undoubtedly be victorious in the end!
- OdinMy Valkyrie! Continue to uphold your duty!
- ValkyrieOf course, my king. By the by, I came across this treasure. Please accept it.
- The demon left...
Loki and Valkyrie
- LokiWell, if it isn't a Valkyrie. Picking and pecking through corpses on the battlefield again? A looter's work is never done, I suppose.
- ValkyrieA looter...? You go too far! It is their souls I seek, not their riches. I gather worthy warriors to send to Valhalla.
- LokiHa... Semantics. You're a graverobber.
- ValkyrieThe gathering of souls is a sacred act. Don't you dare compare it to your vile presumptions.
- LokiWhoa, you hearing this? She's not just admitting she was rummaging through corpses, she calls it a "sacred act!" That takes some guts, huh?
- ValkyrieIt is all as Odin intends... What else could this act be but a sacred one? Then again, someone like you would never be able to understand.
- LokiPlease. Odin's got you totally brainwashed. How about you try using your own head for once? Think for yourself?
- LokiMaybe then you'd see he's just got you on graverobbing duty!
- ValkyrieHow dare you continue to spew blasphemy at Odin!
- LokiOh, big bad Valkyrie gonna teach me a lesson?
- Valkyrie...!
- Valkyrie...No, I am in the midst of my sacred duty. I cannot act rashly or selfishly. I will report your words and deeds to Odin, and await His orders on your punishment.
- LokiHoly shit, you really can't do anything without Odin's approval, huh? Yeah, you're not his graverobber—you're a gofer!
- ValkyrieEnough...! If you want a fight that badly, you shall have it!
Ganesha and Girimekhala
- GaneshaCan you spare a moment? I wish to ask something.
- GirimekhalaA question, eh? Go on.
- GaneshaYou and I are both elephant demons, yes? Could it be that there is some sort of connection between us?
- GirimekhalaHmm. I certainly don't feel anything out of the ordinary when I look upon you.
- GaneshaI have heard that some demons can appear in tales from other lands, or other times. And in such myths, they take completely different forms...
- GirimekhalaAre you implying that there was a point in time when I... was you?
- GaneshaIt seems possible, no?
- GirimekhalaI have indeed heard a theory that I was an elephant god that was reduced to a lesser form... But at the very least, I do not believe it was you.
- GaneshaI-I see... I'd just thought perhaps I'd, well... I'd finally met my other half...
- GirimekhalaWell, don't be discouraged, hm? If you keep searching, I've no doubt you'll eventually find what you're looking for.
- Ganesha...You're right. I pray that someday my search will come to an end. For now, I suppose I'll be on my way.
- GirimekhalaAh, just a moment. Here. A parting gift for a demon-in-arms.

Forneus and Decarabia
- ForneusOh, it's you...! Decarabia!
- DecarabiaHm...? Oh, Forneus! We finally meet again! It's been forever.
- ForneusIndeed, I think it has been quite some time since we last spoke.
- DecarabiaYes, well... last time, you didn't show up at all.
- ForneusI... didn't show up...? Apologies, but what are you talking about?
- DecarabiaYou don't remember? We were supposed to get together in Shibuya.
- ForneusShibuya...? No, I can't say I remember that.
- DecarabiaHm? That's strange... I'm sure we arranged to meet up... I waited for you by the Crossing... But... I can't remember what happened after...
- ForneusDecarabia... I think you might be mistaken. The netherworld has changed a lot since those days... Perhaps you are simply misremembering.
- Decarabia...Now that you mention it, maybe you're right. It almost feels like a far-off dream... Or maybe just a fuzzy memory...
- ForneusI have trouble remembering things myself these days. Though in my case, I suppose I'm just getting old!
- Decarabia...In any case, good to see you again after so long. Here, to celebrate our reunion.
- DecarabiaSo, how about it? Shall we plan another outing, for old times' sake?
- ForneusNo, I think I'll pass... Even I can't say what the world will be like in the days to come.
- Decarabia...I guess you're right.
Cironnup and Koropokkur
- CironnupHey! It's Koropokkur!
- KoropokkurOh? And who are you? Can't say I've seen you before...
- CironnupOh, right... I guess you wouldn't remember me... Say, did you used to live in Hokkaido?
- KoropokkurHmm... Yes, I suppose I did.
- CironnupI knew it! I used to live in Hokkaido too! I used to see you all the time under the butterburs.
- KoropokkurHmm... You know, that does remind me... I did often see a little fox there...
- CironnupYeah, I think that was me! Probably!
- KoropokkurWell! What a pleasant surprise to run into an old neighbor here. Ahh, those were lovely days...
- KoropokkurI must say though... This country has changed a lot since then...
- CironnupThose days in Hokkaido were so peaceful... I wonder if we'll ever get to go back?
- KoropokkurWho can say...? It all depends on what ultimately happens to this world. All we can do in the meantime is stay strong...
- CironnupYeah, you're right. I gotta be strong!
- KoropokkurMmm. That's the spirit, lad. Ah, well... You can have this. Hope it helps.

Inugami and Shiki-Ouji
- InugamiHRM! ARE YOU A SHIKIGAMI? A SHIKIGAMI OF PAPER!
- Shiki-OujiIndeed, I am! My name is Shiki-Ouji... I once served another as a shikigami.
- InugamiI AM INUGAMI! A SHIKIGAMI OF DOGS!
- Shiki-OujiAn Inugami, you say...? I've heard tales about you. Is that young demon your current owner—that is, your master?
- InugamiRIGHT RIGHT! I AM HIS COMRADE!
- Shiki-OujiIf he is capable of subjugating a shikigami, does that mean he is an onmyoji? He doesn't quite look the part...
- InugamiHRM! HE IS NOT AN ONMYOJI! HE IS A WEIRD DEMON!
- Shiki-OujiA weird demon indeed. Yes, I do sense a mysterious aura about him.
- InugamiHE IS IMPRESSIVE, I THINK... SOMETHING IMPRESSIVE WILL HAPPEN SOON... YOU SHOULD JOIN US!
- Shiki-OujiThat doesn't sound so bad. ...However, I must decline!
- InugamiHRM! WHY?
- Shiki-OujiA mysterious wind blows through the netherworld. A mighty gale that scatters us ever closer to an uncertain destiny... I wish to entrust myself to this wind a while longer, and see where it leads.
- InugamiHARD TO UNDERSTAND... DON'T REALLY GET IT...
- Shiki-OujiDon't worry about it. I'm sure the answers will come eventually... Use this well, and hopefully you all can survive until that day comes.

Mara and Girimekhala
- MaraOho, well, if it isn't Girimekhala himself!
- GirimekhalaAnd you... Could it be that you are Lord Mara?
- MaraIt truly has been a while. I'm glad to see that you're as wily as ever.
- GirimekhalaI must say the same to you too, Lord Mara. Your girthy disposition is still a sight to behold.
- MaraNay, I'm growing quite old myself. Who knows how much longer I'll be able to keep it up...
- GirimekhalaWe've both grown old, it seems. The times we've shared together seem so long ago.
- MaraYes, yes, I would ride you to and fro! We went everywhere, you and I!
- MaraAh, I've just come up with a wonderful idea! What say you let me ride you like before?
- GirimekhalaDear me.
- Mara...Is something the matter?
- GirimekhalaWell... Having you on my head is rather...
- MaraYou don't want to?
- GirimekhalaNo, no, it's not that I don't want to... My neck just hasn't been as strong as it used to, what with getting old and everything...
- MaraHmmm, understandable. We wouldn't want anything to rip or tear...
- GirimekhalaWhew...
- MaraI know! I've come up with an even better idea! Why don't you try riding me?
- GirimekhalaDear me.
- MaraI'm confident my lower body is as strong as ever. So, why not give you a turn for once!?
- GirimekhalaWell... Riding you would be rather...
- MaraYou don't want to?
- GirimekhalaNo, no, it's not that I don't want to... I just feel we'd stand out a bit much...
- MaraHmmm, that is true. Perhaps that's a little too cocky, given our age...
- GirimekhalaWhew...
- MaraIt's rather sad, how much old age prevents us from doing the things we love...
- GirimekhalaStill, it was enjoyable to have been able to chat with you again, Lord Mara. This is a little something for you, my dear friend. Please accept it.

- NekomataOoh, I thought so! All us Nekomata are aiming to be Senri someday.
- SenriHahaha! I used to be eager just like that too...
- SenriBut you should consider whether you really oughta become a Senri or not. Give it some good thought.
- NekomataHuh? Why so serious all of a sudden? Does something bad happen when you become a Senri?
- SenriNo, nothin' bad really. There are things you gain from being a Senri. ...And some things you lose in exchange. You win some, ya lose some. That's the way of the world.
- NekomataMrrow, I don't really get what you mean. What did you lose when you became a Senri?
- SenriIt's hard to say what it was exactly... But once in a while, folk will say certain things around me...
- Senri"I liked you better before," fer instance.
- NekomataHm, hmm...
- SenriWell, if you're set on becomin' a Senri, I won't stop ya. Here, take this. It should come in handy somewhere.

- Koppa TenguC'mon, be nice! Oh, actually, since you're here, there was something I wanted to ask you!
- Karasu TenguWhat is it, then? Spit it out!
- Koppa TenguI was just kinda wondering, um... What does your face look like under there?
- Karasu TenguWhat!?
- Koppa TenguI heard this rumor about you... Supposedly, you don't have a long nose like a normal tengu, and you have a crow beak instead. Do you always cover your face 'cause you're trying to hide it or something?
- Karasu Tengu......
- Karasu TenguGahaha! Some question you got there!
- Karasu TenguSo you really wanna see my face that bad, huh?
- Koppa TenguYeah!
- Karasu TenguThen I'll just have to show ya!
- Karasu Tengu started to lift the fabric face covering... ...But stopped at the last second!
- Koppa TenguHeeey! You tricked me!

- Kurama TenguNothing in particular. I was merely surprised to see you. I would have expected you to be slacking off somewhere, never to show your face again.
- Karasu TenguThe hell, man? Where do you get off, sayin' shit like that!?
- Kurama TenguIs your nature not one of corruption?
- Karasu TenguWell, yeah, but, I mean...
- Karasu TenguI wasn't about to blow my chance to finally show up, y'know?
- Kurama TenguAh, it would seem you possess some ambition after all. Use it to fight your battles here to the fullest!
- Kurama TenguBut it is strange... I somehow feel as if you have still yet to appear in battle...
- Karasu TenguWhat...?
- Karasu TenguThe hell does that mean!? How you "feel" is obviously wrong!
- Kurama TenguPerhaps so. You are clearly here, after all. It could be that I merely imagined a world similar to this, but where you never appeared...

Dís and Valkyrie
- DísMy, my! If it isn't Valkyrie! It's been quite some time, hasn't it?
- Valkyrie...Is that you, Dís? Goodness, it's been ages! I haven't seen you around lately at all. I thought I might never see you again!
- DísWe spent much time together as companions running around the battlefield, didn't we. I feel rather nostalgic for those glorious days. Is your work going well?
- ValkyrieIt's a bit of a struggle with all the demons from elsewhere getting in the way. But I suppose it's fine. And you, friend? How are things for you? Seems you're accompanying that young man there...
- DísYes, I'm currently acting as his escort.
- ValkyrieAnd how's that going? He seemed to be a decent sort, but...
- DísIt's very nice. He's quite capable and full of potential.
- ValkyrieHaha, I knew it! One look at him and I could sense his excellent qualities.
- Valkyrie...Say, why don't we bring him to Valhalla? Don't you think he'd make a fine warrior?
- DísNo.
- Valkyrie...I beg your pardon?
- DísI will not allow you to take him to Valhalla. His fortune in war belongs to me... I shall be the one to remain by his side ever more...
- Valkyrie......
- ValkyrieOh... All right then! I just wanted to see what you thought. *sigh* You're still as dedicated to your work as ever, I see.

- OdinI thought the Aesir had bound you with Gleipnir... Escaped at some point, did you?
- FenrirTHIS IS THE NETHERWORLD, ODIN! THE AESIR HAVE NO POWER OVER ME HERE!
- OdinApparently not. Well, it hardly matters. All will be resolved once you're shackled again.
- FenrirGRRAH! CAN YOU MANAGE THAT ON YOUR OWN?
- OdinWe'll find out soon enough.
- Fenrir...!
- FenrirW-WAIT...! I DO NOT WISH TO FIGHT! I DO NOT NEED TO BE IMPRISONED!
- Odin......
- FenrirI-I MEAN IT...! I WILL GIVE YOU AN ITEM TO PROVE MY GOODWILL. GO ON, HOLD OUT YOUR HAND...

Loki and Fenrir
- LokiWell, look what the cat dragged in. I'd know that muzzle anywhere, Fenrir.
- FenrirHMM? IS THAT...? LOKI!
- LokiOh? So you remember your dear old dad? I'm touched. ...I thought the Aesir tied you up with Gleipnir, though. Wriggled your way free, huh?
- FenrirTHIS IS THE NETHERWORLD! THE AESIR'S POWER MEANS NOTHING HERE! I THOUGHT YOU WERE TRAPPED TOO... BUT I SUPPOSE THOSE BINDS COULD NOT HOLD YOU.
- LokiYou could say that! Like son, like father, eh?
- LokiOh, speaking of family... How are Hel and Jormungand doing?
- FenrirWHO KNOWS. I HAVE NOT SEEN EITHER OF THEM.
- LokiNo, huh...? I thought I might be able to see them, at least, if not Angrboda. I imagine you miss them all too, right?
- FenrirI DO NOT REALLY CARE. HEL WAS SENT TO THE WORLD OF THE DEAD. JORMUNGAND WAS CAST INTO THE SEA. THEY ARE BOTH GONE NOW, SO THEY DO NOT CONCERN ME.
- LokiCome on, do you really have to play the lone wolf?
- LokiThe Aesir fear us. Saying we'd bring about the end of times. Me, I can't wait to see Odin's face twisted in terror!
- FenrirGRRRR... ODIN!
- FenrirI WILL EAT ODIN WHOLE! I WILL GIVE HIM HIS OWN RAGNAROK!
- LokiHeh heh heh... Don't worry, he'll get what's coming to him. For now, we can afford to enjoy our freedom a little. Let's just have ourselves a little fun stirring up the netherworld!

Nozuchi and Kaya-no-Hime
- NozuchiOho? Could it be that you are Kaya-no-Hime?
- Kaya-no-HimeSwoosh! That is right, I am Kaya-no-Hime. And who are you?
- NozuchiI am Nozuchi. I have been waiting a long time for the day when we would meet.
- Kaya-no-HimeYou wanted us to meet? And why is that?
- Nozuchi...My lady, have you no recollection of the name Nozuchi?
- Kaya-no-HimeFwaah? I don't know it at all!
- NozuchiThen allow me to tell you... Kaya-no-Hime is also known by another name: Nozuchi-no-Kami.
- Kaya-no-HimeWhat!? So I was Nozuchi-no-Kami all along!? So I am also Nozuchi, just like you?
- NozuchiIn a manner of speaking, yes.
- Kaya-no-HimeBut I'm so swishy-swooshy, and you are so wibbly-wobbly. We are not the same!
- NozuchiTo be more precise, I arose from you, my lady. Nozuchi is a spirit of grass and fields, you see. And I have now emerged as a spirit of these fields.
- Kaya-no-HimeHmhmm, I seeee. I have no idea. Tum te tum.
- NozuchiWell, it is a rather complicated affair. All I'm saying is that I have always wanted to meet my ancestor, the great lady Kaya-no-Hime. That's about the gist of it.
- Kaya-no-HimeOhhh? So you are glad to have met me then?
- NozuchiIndeed, I am quite pleased. I sense this will be a rather fruitful endeavor.
- Kaya-no-HimeSwish-swoosh! Fruitful and plentiful! Here, a fruitful harvest for you!

Norn and Dís
- NornOh my! It's been quite some time!
- Dís...? Umm, and who might you be? Something about you does seem familiar...
- NornOh, you don't remember? I suppose I can't blame you. It was a long time ago, and of course, this is my chosen form now...
- Dís...Ah, wait! Are you those three sisters who reside in the roots of Yggdrasil? I believe your names were... Urd, Verdandi, and Skuld. You've changed a lot since then...
- NornI adopted this form once I was recognized as a goddess of fate. You might say that humans are now more familiar with the name Norn than Dís.
- DísSo, what are you doing now? You appear to be accompanying that young demon...
- NornYes, I am lending him my power.
- DísSo his destiny is in your hands.
- NornPerhaps. But perhaps not, as well.
- Dís...What do you mean?
- NornHe has taken his true form as a god and broken the Condemnation. Even if I control the fate of the gods, I might not control his...
- DísIn other words, you believe he will forge his own fate...?
- NornIndeed, he has the power to do so. To guide him on this journey, and share in his destiny... Yes, that is what we desire.
- DísI see... Then I suppose it is not my place to intervene.
- NornDid you intend to join him as a goddess? Or perhaps guide him to Valhalla after he falls in glorious battle...?
- DísI shall leave that up to your imagination. In any case, he is far beyond one such as myself.
- DísI will entrust him to your care then. Here, take this as a parting gift.
- DísMay fate smile upon the both of you...
