===City of the Chosen, Roppongi (1) (Academy-Roppongi)===


A few days after helping out the [[Missionaries]], the {{Transient icon|Protagonist}} has been attending classes with not much else happening. After {{Transient icon|Kengo}} and {{Transient icon|Ryota}} get in trouble for slacking off in {{Transient icon|Mononobe}}'s class, they and the rest of the [[Summoners]] run into {{Transient icon|Andvari}}, who claims that they haven't fully paid him for helping get them established since setting up one safe house depleted the money the guild had. However, Andvari claims he has a way for them to get the money they need, something that, despite {{Transient icon|Shiro}}'s attempts to get them to accept that he worked out the details, makes the guild suspicious.

Once the Protagonist neutralizes the last of the gangsters, they double back to check on Kenta and Barguest. While Kenta talks about Inugami, the Transient hiding in his backpack that acts like his guard dog, Barguest tells them that, around Roppongi, people who aren't rich and connected are generally treated like garbage. However, the gangsters suddenly resume their attack, despite there being no App Battle around them and using real guns. Luckily, {{Transient icon|Toji}} intercepts and dispatches them, though he's still visibly hostile toward the Protagonist. He explains that carrying weapons that are intended to be used outside of the APP's parameters is considered illegal due to the permanent consequences they cause. However, before Toji can continue trying to remove the Protagonist's access to the APP, the gangsters' backup arrive. Kenta and Barguest slip away in the confusion, leaving Toji and the Protagonist to deal with the mess.

Knowing they are outmatched, the gangsters immediately call for backup, which quickly surrounds Toji and the Protagonist. Making matters worse is that Toji slips away in the chaos, leaving the Protagonist to fend for themselves. Fortunately, Claude and Snow cut the gangsters off, forcing them to retreat since they're 'on the guest list'. Claude, brushing their attack on the Protagonist off as them needing to make an entrance, ushers them into the car and passes them a change of clothes to switch with their ruined ones.

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.

As Ifrit and the Protagonist finish off the gangsters, Hakumen, realizing how skilled the Protagonist is, tips the fight in her favor by sending in more gangsters for them to deal with, then manipulates Claude into taking on a side bet. In order to make sure she wins, Hakumen then inserts herself into the fight. Despite already being worn out and knowing her entrance is an unfair disadvantage on their part, Ifrit and the Protagonist continue to push on.

Despite being worn out, Ifrit and the Protagonist continue to fight on, much to Hakuman's amusement as she continues to beat both of them down. However, as she uses the key they were after to gloat, the Protagonist takes advantage of her hubris and grabs it from her. Undeterred by this, Hakumen asks that the Protagonist return the key to her, which they surprisingly do. She then has her servants move Ifrit and the Protagonist away as she goes to collect her winnings from Claude. Locked in a cell, Ifrit laments that he didn't do more to protect the Protagonist. However, this appears to have been part of their plan, for as soon as Lil' Salomon angles them so that they aren't facing the security camera's prying eyes, they spit the key out of their mouth.

As the Protagonist and the others fight toward the vault, the two remaining high ranking members of the Tycoons, Ophion and {{Transient icon|Lucifuge}} circle the outer perimeter of the casino along with Kirito, Barguest, and the rest of their forces. Despite being in clear control, Ophion is visibly annoyed that the [[Game Masters]] have crippled his ability to produce forces at will, forcing him to rely on others to do the dirty work for him.

As the group floats toward a strange temple in the distance, Shiro reveals that Tsathoggua, the 'Sleeper of N', is considered famous among the lore of the Old Ones. However, once they land, they discover that Tsathoggua is a slob who doesn't like leaving his 'temple'. He leads the group to his room, where they recover from all the running they did. He tells them that, after winning at the casino, Hakumen brought him on to run the evacuation bunker. Shiro then asks Tsathoggua if he has any way to get them back to the surface, to which replies he can warp them out directly, though Hanuman has to bribe him with the release of a new game just to get him to go through with it.
