Narration begins, revealing the truth behind Shuichi's Sacred Artifact. Narration reveals that, while several guilds have had theories as to what Shuichi's Clay Tablet actually does, in truth Shuichi had purposefully hidden the fact that it sucks up any worthwhile knowledge around it, even its owner's memories, and stores and transcribes them at its leisure, effectively making it the first book.

As Toji and the Protagonist make their way to Shuichi's meeting point, {{Transient icon|Moritaka}} is preparing for his kendo training when he bumps into Garmr, who finally made it to Shinjuku Academy but not without sustaining injuries from his encounters with the Shadows. Immediately sensing that something is off, Moritaka quickly rushes to Garmr's aid, confirming that the Berserker's guard dog has arrived at Shinjuku Academy but that he hasn't seen the Protagonist or Shiro all day. However, before he can get Garmr to the nurse's office for proper medical attention, Moritaka is set upon by several Shadows. | As Toji and the Protagonist make their way to Shuichi's meeting point, {{Transient icon|Moritaka}} is preparing for his kendo training when he bumps into Garmr, who finally made it to Shinjuku Academy but not without sustaining injuries from his encounters with the Shadows.

Cut to Jinbocho.

After receiving word from an informant that the chaos the Shadows have caused has spread to Aoyama and the [[Missionaries]], Shuichi meets up with Toji and the Protagonist, though Toji is hesitant to deal with him after he helped manipulate Tokyo's governing body into believing that there was nothing dangerous about the App. However, Shuichi is uninterested in Toji's taunts as he is more focused on explaining why Shiro left the Protagonist his phone number: Shiro knew that, despite his own misgivings about trusting the Wisemen, Shuichi would be their best source of knowledge should anything happen to him. This works out well for Shuichi as he feels that, since both the Wisemen and the Summoners have been crippled in the recent chaos, an alliance is the best way for both Guilds to survive. However, the Protagonist, who trust their own guild's inner circle more than someone whom they know wants something out of this, refuses point blank. Before Shuichi can attempt to state his case, the Protagonist is contacted by Moritaka, who informs him of Garmr's arrival at Shinjuku Academy and the Shadows swarming the area. Moritaka pleads with the Protagonist to allow him to join their Guild, but Garmr intercedes, begging the Protagonist to liberate the Berserkers from their current situation before passing out from the pain. | ||
With his leverage over the Summoners lack of knowledge beginning to crack, Shuichi breaks down, revealing that, despite wanting their guilds to align with each other, he never intended to trust the Summoners as he felt they would burn him the second his usefulness ran its course. He tries to garner the Protagonist's sympathy by stating that their friends will likely turn on them given the chance, but the Protagonist brushes him away, stating that the fact that they were there for them when they had nowhere else to go makes them worthy of their friendship. When Shuichi is still hesitant about trusting them, Toji, knowing that Shuichi fears that any lie he utters will cause damage to his Sacred Artifact's power, asks where Duo is, forcing Shuichi to beg the Summoners to let him help, revealing that he's been forced to deal with the threat the Genociders caused in order to ensure his safe return. Left with no other choice, the Protagonist reluctantly accepts Shuichi's offer, and the group heads to the location Moritaka sent for them to meet. | With his leverage over the Summoners lack of knowledge beginning to crack, Shuichi breaks down, revealing that, despite wanting their guilds to align with each other, he never intended to trust the Summoners as he felt they would burn him the second his usefulness ran its course.
