Main Quest:Chapter 1 Part 2:VN
Shinkuju Central Park
Right, it's about a 10 minute walk out of this park. Let's hope we don't run into any more trouble...! |
2 options | ||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
I'm really worried...! | I'm scared, can we hold hands? | |||||||
|
Well, there's a Gate here in this park, but... |
Still, it's unusual to run into stray Summon like that! |
...... |
Nonono. That's exactly what happened when I thought that way just then.... |
Uuaaaaaa. Let's get outta here fast before we run into any more! |
Eh? What is it? Did I say something strange? |
3 options | ||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
What's a stray Summon? | What's a "Gate"? | What are your measurements? | ||||||
|
|
So, what are you exactly? You look like a regular human to me... right? |
Eh? You're not sure yourself? Are you lost, or did you lose your memory? |
Well, let's talk while we walk. Maybe something will jog your memory while we're chatting. |
Hey, you can get a good view from here, see that over to your left? |
A giant pillar of bright, shining light. This is that "gate" I mentioned before. |
Quite a long time ago, this Shinjuku Central Park was just quiet hangout place with a lot of food stalls... |
Suddenly, without warning... a huge pillar of light just shot out of nowhere. |
Not just in Shinjuku, but all over Tokyo. There's 23 of 'em altogether. |
The surrounding area at all of 'em are certified as under special protection, and blockaded from the public. |
Well, I say blockaded, but... it's not all that strict. It isn't under guard or anything, you're just supposed to stay away, like you enter at your own risk.. |
A lot of people just ignore it and pass through here as long as its not night, because it's a convenient shortcut. |
....Well, I might stop cutting through here for a while. I might have traumatized myself a bit back there. |
In the past, the pillars were actually pretty popular sightseeing spots for a while. |
But one day, out of that shining light... |
Mysterious creatures appeared. |
I don't know much about the details since I was just a little kid at the time, but the police and the Self Defense Forces got involved, it was a real mess. |
The mysterious creatures that came out of the light pillars are called- |
Summon. |
.....Hm. |
S-sorry, could you give me a minute for a bathroom break? I'll buy you a drink from the vending machine to make up for it. |
3 options | ||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Actually, I need the toilet too... | I'll check out the vending machine. | Do you need help with that? | ||||||
|
Now promise to wait for me, 'k?! Please don't go off on your own! |
....Yaaawn~ |
What is it, Milord...? I was trying to take a nap. |
Hm, is there something you want to ask? |
Waha... You want to know more about Gates and Summon? |
Understood! Allow me to explain. |
First, pertaining to "stray Summon"- |
I'm soooorryy, I don't have a clue!! Ah, please don't be angry Milord! |
Because, outside of the devils from my own home, I don't know anything about them... |
I can't tell you much about "stray Summon"... but Gates are another story! |
"Gates" are the tool of a summoner. When summoning, one essentially opens a door that connects to another world. |
Usually, the idea of connecting between worlds is considered taboo. |
Temporarily connecting a phenomenon with another, the concept of a "Gate" or a "Door"- eh you don't need detailed explanation? |
But the principle is that, a door can only be opened while summoning. |
Because, if there are multiple existences in one place, the balance of the worlds would tremble and- no need for this too?! |
Anyway, a "Gate" is a summoning door that can only be opened temporarily. |
The way Milord materalized your sword earlier, could be considered as opening a "Gate" too. |
...........Ahh? |
Why does Milord know about the "Gate"? I don't recall having mentioned that yet? |
1 option | ||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Behind you. |
WHAAAAAT?!? How can a gate be so enormous?! |
Are you sure that's a Gate and not some tourist attraction?! |
3 options | ||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Did you not notice it? | This isn't in the Shinjuku I know. | Salomon-kun is such an idiot. | ||||||
|
But the "Gate" can only be opened temporarily, It was so written in the familiar textbook (year 1 version).... |
In fact, I can't feel any summon energy from the pillar over there. Maybe there is a way to awaken its power..... |
Uuuuumm... |
I don't really get it, but in this world, it seems like "Gates" is kept opened. |
1 option | ||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
'This' world? |
Ah? You didn't realize? |
This is a different world than the one Milord came from. It may be similar, but I assure you it's different. |
3 options | ||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
An alternate world, cool! | How do I get back to my world?! | That's it, it's time for a spanking. | ||||||
|
......but you really, forgot? That you were "summoned" by someone. |
In other words you're the "labor" side. Simply put, it's the same as the Red Oni you just met. |
Like the Red Oni is working for Milord. Milord is on a position to be working for your summoner. |
In principle, after a summon is established, certain "summon conditions" will be listed out to each other. |
"In exchange for this, I want you to do this", setting a contract like that. |
The conditions are set on an individual basis by each Summoner, you should be able to return home if you satisfy the "summoning condition" |
....... |
By the way, do you have any idea who in the world.... could have summoned Milord? |
3 options | ||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
You mean you don't know? | ............ | That's it, put your butt out so I can spank you. | ||||||
|
Well, it's okay, there's still a way to find out. Just look for the mark that stands out on the summoner's body! |
All Summoners have a Summoner's Crest somewhere on them! |
2 options | ||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
When I held that sword earlier I noticed... | I don't know where mine is, I'll have to get naked. | |||||||
|
It uses the summoner's power Milord, to summon sacred treasure and link with your sword with a contract. |
The star mark on your hand is the summon mark between you and your sword! |
That is to say, the person who summoned Milord should have a matching mark! |
And here comes the important part! There's one way to invoke the summon mark. |
When the "Summoner" touches the "summon", a "summon mark" with the same shape will show on their skin. |
There are no identical summon marks. It's a contract between two souls. It's unique. |
So, if you find someone with the same "summon mark"! That mean that person is your "summoner'! Ahem! |
Eh, how many people should you search? Well, the worst case scenario is to touch everyone in Tokyo-? |
-aaaah. There are tens of millions of people in the Tokyo of this world so.... |
A, aha... ahaha... |
So, until next time! Good ni-ght!! |
Ha-, sorry for the wait! Ah-, I feel a lot better now. |
What's the matter? You hungry? Got a stomachache? |
We're almost out of the park, we can eat something after that. |
I got hungry after the chase. It's okay to be slim, but I don't want to be all skin and bones. |
3 options | ||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
A nice meal sounds good right now. | I don't think you have to worry about that. | I'd rather eat you. | ||||||
|
(Let's change the topic. Did you regain any of your memories? |
......I see. You still can't remember anything. |
And you summoned that sword, isn't it possible you're also a Summon? |
1 option | ||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
.......... |
H-hey, don't look at me like that! I'm sorry, it was just a joke! |
You're definitely not a Summon! I mean, you don't have feathers or fur or whatever, no matter how I look you're definitely a human. |
....Eh? Why do I keep saying "Summon"? |
Well... It's what I've been taught. What do they call people from other worlds where you come from? |
For the the "Summons" without summoners and wandering outside, we simply call them "Stray Summons". |
Oh, don't get me wrong, there's lots of friendly Summon too. |
There's this great restaurant too with dishes from all the different worlds. It's great! |
Eh? How many kinds of Summon are there? Well, there's a bunch... |
Some are beastmen, or they have wings, animal ears, glowy eyes, or, uuuum... |
-I think it'd be easier to list what kinds there aren't. I guess the short version is anything that's not a human being! |
1 option | ||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Are there ones with blue skin? |
Yeah, yeah! If you have red you gotta have blue too. |
Blue Oni: Kekekeke... |
Exactly, yep, just like tha- |
Blue Oni: Grraaaaahhh!! |
Hieeeee, a-again!? Impossible! Bumping into them twice in one day!! |
3 options | ||||||||

Leave it to me! | Let's escape! | Take off your clothes now | ||||||
|
BATTLE
Y, you did it! Awesome! That's twice you beat the monsters! |
1 option | ||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
What's this...? |
What is this.... looks like a jewel. |
Eh, you'll ask someone who knows? Wait, why are you closing your eyes? |
Yawn... Milord you're abusing your bulter too much...... |
Yaya! Yayaya! Congratulations Milord! |
This is an reward from the game "App"--- Namely a "Luminous Stone"! |
They have a strong power to connect two souls which allows you to do special summons. |
Eh, that's all you want to know? Don't you think you're treating me a bit too terribly?! |
I got Luminous Stones! Let's meet new companions in the summoning gacha!
Erm, are you done yet? Who are you talking to? |
We're reaching the exit of the park soon! Let's get out and eat something-! My treat! |
Shinjuku Academy
Phew-----We're finally out. Thanks Player, couldn't have done it without you! |
2 options | ||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
You're welcome. | Hug him. | |||||||
|
Now we left the park, let's eat! Wh-at should we eat-! |
The hand-made hamburger steak in front of the station is good too, but considering the portion we should go for fast food... |
Oh? The guys over there..... |
Tch, Ooww! Shirooouuu! Quit pullin' on my ear damnit! |
You're going to be late for dorm curfew! Honestly.... if you just came with the rest of the club members...! |
-Aaahh!! |
-Crap, he saw me! G, good eveniiing, Mr. Chairman! Eh, ehehe.... |
There you are, Ryota! It's almost past curfew!! |
The foundation of community life is timeliness and adherence to the rules! -one troublemaker causes a disturbance for everyone! |
N-noooo, that is, ahaha.... I mean, I ran into a little situation... |
Hold on, look at you! You're covered in scratches and mud... wait a minute! Unbelievable! |
That blocked area in the park....! Did you take that shortcut past the shrine?! |
Er, uh, um, well, that is.... All I can say to that is....! |
I, I'm sooorryyyy! |
Geez... what were you thinking? |
You've been told, numerous time, not to pass through that area because stray Summon may appear in- |

Nice to meet you. |
Shirou:(awe face) |
-Hey, Shirou? Earth to Shirou, you there? |
Chairman? Something wrong? You're staring awfully hard at Player... |
Shirou:(awe face) |
Shirou:(awe face) |
??? |
Ryota. This person here.... Do you know them? |
Yeah, yeah. They helped me out at the park. |
...By the way chairman, you shound strange. You sound high-pitched. And you bit your tongue. |
Shirou:(awe face) |
Nice to meet you, Protag-san. |
My name is Motoori Shiro. I'm Ryota's classmate. |
It sounds like Ryota really owes you one... Thank you very much. |
As his friend. And as Class Chairman. I would like to thank you. |
2 options | ||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
No, no, it's no problem. | I like you. | |||||||
|
Hm.... Player, eh. |
Hey, you just met, don't be rude! Sorry, Protag. |
This is Kengo. Kengo Takabushi. He's also a classmate of mine, same as Mr. Chairman. |
.....Hey, you look kinda tough. You don't have to say a word, you can't hide it from me. |
3 options | ||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
What do you mean by tough? | Splendid, you see right through me. | That's right, you looking for a fight? | ||||||
|
Don't talk like this to people you've just met, Kengo! |
Please excuse him. He's been a violent meathead ever since we were kids... |
Who's a meathead, huh! Also! It's not violence! It's martial arts, ARTS! Don't mess it up! |
It's because you always try to solve things with a fight..... It's quite troublesome, really. |
If you want me to stop calling you an idiot, get at least a passing- no, half a passing grade! |
Do you realize you'll definitely have to repeat the year at this rate?! I'm tired of holding a study sleepover every year already. |
Ah-ah-, stop nagging. O' your "majesty", the model student chairman. |
I'm fine. I've decided to make a living with my fists. |
I don't give a damn about repeating or being kicked out of school. It's not like I'm gonna listen to my old man's crap anyways. |
Man, what a pain in the ass. |
Your father has asked me to guide you become a decent man while he serves his sentence. That's why I.... |
Hmpf, what is "decent" anyway. I'm not going to listen to everything you say. |
Besides! My dad can break a waterfall by his bare hands. Who are you trying to fool, saying he's life-sentenced! |
Hey, hey, both of you. Can you not do this in front of Protag? |
....Hmph. |
...... |
Sorry, you must feel pretty lost right now. These two have been friends since they were kids- |
I guess you could say they're unfortunately inseperable. |
Although they're like that, but- Sorry, they don't get along too well. |
Shirou:(awe face) |
Thank you very much for saving my friend. |
I would like to express my gratitude but...... we're almost past the dorm curfew......! |
Eh! Wow we're running late! |
Erm......that's why......er.... |
I will, express my gratitude in another day. Eh-...I mean if you don't find it an inconvenience that is... |
Gimme your number, [Player]! I'll have to keep my promise to treat you one day! |
.......! |
Hey, me too. Have a match with me. I'll be your opponent one day! |
Shirou:(awe face) |
Do you have any messaging apps? Just something to keep in touch.... |
Lemme see your phone. Hey, this one! This magic circle thingy! |
The SUMMONS app. It's super multifunctional, voice chat, messaging, all kindsa stuff. |
It's good that you have it, my friends asked me to install but I never touched it afterwards. |
If Player is using it, then I should start using it too maybe- |
Yeah, add me too. Here, I'll give you my ID. |
Eh, Kengo? That's weird. I didn't think you were into that. |
Well, I just thought it was kinda interesting. I only use it for chatting. |
Shirou:(awe face) |
Mm? What's wrong, Chairman? |
Shirou:(awe face) |
Eh-, that's rare! You always say this kind of stuff is vulgar. |
N-no......Ahem. This is called social studies. It's not bad just to try it out, I think.... |
Shirou:(awe face) |
Chairman, I think you're getting off track now. Let's install the app now shall we? |
Okay, I'm done adding in everyone's ID! We should get going now. |
We're heading back to our dormitory, which way are you heading Player? |
Oh, right. Player has- |
What's wrong? Is your home really far away? |
What? You run away from home or somethin'? |
Runaway? That is no good! Your parents will be worried about you! |

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
......... | I don't want to leave you guys. | |||||||
|
No, you don't have to say a word...... I understand. There are times when a person doesn't want to say anything. |
....... |
I'm sorry if I'm sticking my nose in your business too much. It's up to you, but.... |
Would you.... like to stay in our student dorm? |
Oh? |
Eh? |
Shirou:(awe face) |
Well, hey......Ryouta. Of all things from Mr. Chairman, yea? |
Y-yea. Are you sure Chairman? Inviting someone without a permission like that..... |
If you must say......Player, Ryouta. Look at yourselves, both of you. |
Aah... |
You see. Both of you are covered in mud and cuts. Even if you want to go back, you can't take the public transport like this. |
1 option | ||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
I'm covered in mud. |
I'm living in the dorm so I can always shower there, but..... |
It's really rare for you. What's wrong Chairman? Usually you'll say things like rules are rules. |
I'll explain things to Monobe-sensei. It'll be fine, just leave this to me. |
That's only my suggestion, Player. Would you, want to drop over to our place? |
3 options | ||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
If you insist. | Why are you so kind to me? | If you keep this up I'll end up falling for you, you know | ||||||
|
I won't allow myself to abandon someone who helped my......classmate. |
On top of that, it's only natural to help someone in need, it's written so in books. |
Way to go, Chairman! If it's decided then let's---Go go go! |
-Ah-I'm getting hungry already. What are we going to have for dinner-? |
Our dormitory's cafeteria is actually quite good. Player, you're going to eat with us right? |
What are you looking at? You found someone strong? Player. |
What's wrong? You're looking around like there's something strange.... |

giant animal people walking around....?! |
Ah, were you surprised? Don't worry, those aren't stray Summon. |
I told you about them before, didn't I? People with wings, tails, beast people, there's lot of non-humans around Tokyo. |
Is that uncommon where you're from? |
I don't see what the big deal is. They're everywhere in Tokyo. |
There's a bunch at our school too. Not just the students, but- |
Outside Academy Building
..... |
...the teachers too. |
2 options <same response> | ||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T-those clothes... | N-nice clothes... |
Well, yeah. That's Triton-sensei. He's a Merman Summon. |
He's the PE teacher, and the Water Polo department advisor. He's always dressed like that. |
Crap, just look at his face. He's gonna give us hell for breaking the curfew. |
Uuugh... I ran as fast as I could, but I wonder... |
Kengo Takabushi, and Ryota Yakushimaru! You two have some nerve to break curfew so brazenly, don't you? |
Guh...! |
S-sorryyy! |
Triton-sensei, I apologize for being late. |
I'm here to report the results of the dorm roll call. With these two, everyone is accounted for. |
Hmph. Indeed. |
Triton:(Grin face) |
It seems you're very adept at handling problem children. |
No... that's just a matter of experience. |
Tch. Brown noser. |
...What was that? You should be more discreet if you're going to make snide remarks! |
Quit it! Oww!! |
Hey, hey, it's awfully loud out here isn't it? You guys know you're breaking curfew? |
1 option | ||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Someone even more amazing showed up.. |
That's Jinn-sensei, also from the PE department. He's always radiating heat and smoke like that. |
He's the advisor for the baseball team. I think he was... a genie of a lamp. |
Gahaha!! Breaking curfew again eh, you two? |
You guys! Well, it's good to be reckless and lively while you're still young! |
......Jinn-sensei. Do you think it's appropriate, as a teacher, to speak this way to students flagrantly breaking rules in your presence? |
Wa~ sheesh. Petty as usual, aren't you Triton? You're too damn serious all the time. |
.......Is that so? |
Jinn-sensei, dressing like that in front of students. Aren't you ashamed of yourself? |
1 option | ||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
What. |
Nono. After all, Triton, are you any better? |
This is swimwear! Moreover, they're custom-made! There's nothing shameful about it! |
You're just wearing underwear! It's nothing but underwear! Underwear!! |

That isn't the point here at all. |
You think you can just badmouth my homeworld's clothing!? I'll make smoked fish outta you! |
Yeah. Bring it on! I'll douse your fire but good! |
-there they go again. They fight like cats and dogs. |
S-sensei, sorry to interrupt, but I needed to consult someone. |
Huh? |
Whaddya want? |
Um, about this person over here--- Err, their name is Player and- |
The hell's a "Player?" |

.........? |
Oh, I remember! Player! Aaah, you're the transfer I heard about! |
I think I haven't seen a transfer stubent since working here? Mmh. |
Alright, good good, come on! I'll take you to see Kyouma-sensei! |
Hey, stop right there Jinn! Get out of the way! I'll take them! |
There they go..... What should we do? |
Shirou:(awe face) |
Elsewhere in Shinjuku Academy
Kyouma-sensei-! I've brought that transfer stubent here! |
Hey Jinn, are you trying to take all the credit? Kyouma-sensei, I've brought the transfer stubent here! |
Kyouma:(frown face) |
Kyouma:(frown face) |
No sweat! It's all for our wonderful students! I shall show them love as hot as fire! |
It should be me dealing with the students. I shall show them love as deep as the sea! |
Hahaha. Surprised? Those two are our school's famous teachers. |
They're always competing restlessly over who's the favorite among the student body. |
They both love their students from the bottom of their hearts but, they also tend to overdo it. |
They're definately not bad teachers... despite themselves. |
Well, let's end the talk here. Please come in. I'll gather the documents for you. |
Let me introduce myself again. I'm Monobe Kyouma. I'm a teacher of this school. |
Have a look at the documents. These are all the papers you need for school transfer- |
These are the law-binding documents for me becoming your guarantor. |

Triton:(smile face) |
Come this way to the dormitory! I'll show you right away! |
....Just like that they're getting carried away again. About your decision, you can think of it once you're settled. |
From today, you're free to stay in Dormitory No. 1 of Shinjuku Academy. |
I hope you'll get along with your fellow students. Nice to meet you. |
Elsewhere, in an Office
Young Master, forgive my rudeness for disturbing your night's rest. There is a matter I'm sure you would wish to hear of. |
.....You're forgiven. Speak. |
An "App" battle was observed at the Shinjuku Central Park a few hours ago. |
The participants were several "Stray Summon", and a human... or at least what appeared to be a human. |
As far as we know, there is no Summon on record matching their appearance. |
Our collaborators in the area have reported... The unidentified person's Rule is "Severance." |
-ho? "Severance" you say. The "Rare" ability everyone was waiting for, at last. |
Yes, as you expected, young master. |
The "rule" of Severance. It was only expected to appear by assumption... |
This is the first time it has been observed in Tokyo, as far as I know. |
What is the attribute of their Sacred Treasure? If it is Holy, presumbaly it's the scissors of the three sisters, or the reaper's sickle if Dark... |
That would make sense, Young Master. ....However, neither of those is the case. |
Their attribute is not Fire, Water or Wood as well. Not even Demon. |
The app display reads "All." |
Fire, Water, Wood, Holy and Dark all simultaneously. |
……Yes, I understand. You had a good reason to disturb my rest, my faithful servant. |
Seems the stalemate between guilds will come to an end soon. The next step is about to begin. |
You are correct, young master. |
Snow, my loyal familiar. Your master has a new order. |
Prepare a welcome for our future guest, in the traditional Ikebukuro Guild fashion. |
Of course. Understood. |
But first, there is one last thing. |
There is a definite possibility that other guilds are privy to this newcomer as well. Roppongi in particular. |
I believe we should send an envoy right away, before they take action. |
No, leave it be. |
Skulking about in the shadows isn't how we do things. We make a show of force. |
……Ah, how foolish of me. It would be a betrayal of the principle of "Strength" this guild was founded upon. |
I do admire your commitment to your ideals. |
Snow, I do hope that person is stronger than anyone else. If not.....this Tokyo, will be filled with corpses. |
