Once the App Battle ends, the gangsters chasing the girl suddenly vanish, causing Ifrit to demand to know what's going on. The girl, introducing herself as {{Transient icon|Babalon}}, says she there to take advantage of the guest's greed and humiliate them at their own game due to her hatred of people, in particular men, trying to force their beliefs onto others. When Ifrit voices his confusion over her motives, she reveals a startling secret about why he wound up in debt: Hakumen, obsessed with getting Ifrit's heart for its value, used her Sacred Artifact to remove his inhibitions while he was gambling, causing her to swindle him out of his heart before he even knew what happened. | Once the App Battle ends, the gangsters chasing the girl suddenly vanish, causing Ifrit to demand to know what's going on.

Understandably pissed at the deception, Ifrit races off to confront Hakumen. Before the Protagonist can chase after him, Babalon stops them. After admitting she did it purely because she considered Ifrit among the weak deserving of her help, she turns the conversation toward the App as she's worried it'll end up being used to handicap the people not strong enough to defend themselves. Hinting that she has guessed who they really are, Babalon asks the Protagonist to join '[her] group', but the Protagonist, suspicious of her intentions, refuses, even as she baits them with knowledge that Sacred Artifacts have a tendency to extract the memories of others and can transfer the inherent knowledge and skill onto others, something she claims Claude conveniently forgot to mention to them, and chases after Ifrit. | Understandably pissed at the deception, Ifrit races off to confront Hakumen.
