[A man stands near the window, looking out on the city. Approach him and the scene will begin.] MAN WITH '1' WRITTEN ON HIS BACK: Hey, you...you're a Persona user...? Hmph. So you're not an enemy. My Persona is telling me so... MAN WITH '1' WRITTEN ON HIS BACK: You seem to know the reason why you're here, don't you. If it's all right with you, would you mind telling me what is going on in this city? CHOICE: - Tell him - Don't tell him (Tell him.) MAN WITH '1' WRITTEN ON HIS BACK: I see...Mayuzumi did, huh...It seems that you've been a great help to my good friend Mayuzumi. Thank you... NANJOU: I am Kei Nanjou. I fought alongside Mayuzumi in the past. (Kei Nanjou: Yukino's good friend who is home temporarily from his study abroad in England. He is currently in training to become the #1 man in Japan. During his high school years, he was awakened as a Persona user.) NANJOU: I heard that my old friends were fighting in this city...It looks like I might be able to see them for the first time in a while, under these conditions. It's unbelievable that this sort of thing would happen... NANJOU: Actually, the reason I came here is also because I heard a rumor that a man who looked like Kandori, our enemy that we should have defeated in the past, was spotted. NANJOU: If he is alive, there is no way I can just leave him alone...I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to cut things short here. NANJOU: Oh yes...this is my beloved Japanese sword. As a symbol of my gratitude for all that you've done for Mayuzumi...take it with you. Well then...if fate shall have it, I'll see you again.
[Enter the small room at the back left-hand corner of the Liquid Waste Processing Room. The scene will begin.] MAN IN A DARK SUIT: What the hell are you little bast-...no, you kids doing here? It's fuckin' danger...uh, no...it's really dangerous to be in this place... MAN IN A DARK SUIT: Damn! I can't talk like Mr. Nice Guy! MAN IN A DARK SUIT: This ain't a place for brats to come...hurry up and get your asses home...you wanna die? CHOICE: - Are you Kandori? - We'll leave. (Ask him if he's Kandori, otherwise the event will end.) MAN IN A DARK SUIT: The hell did you say? My name is Reiji Kido! Don't associate me with that...goddamn bastard! REIJI: Whaaa? Nanjou said that? Hey, he's here? He's my friend...tell me what's up. REIJI: Y, you dumb shit! That's a fucked up misunderstanding...I just, ya know, heard a rumor that demons were appearin' here, and I came here to blow off some steam... (Reiji Kido: A salesman who is Yukino's good friend. Works for the same company as Toro, but he seems to be worried about his success in sales. During his high school years, he was awakened as a Persona user.) REIJI: No matter how good of a friend he is, I can't forgive him for mistakin' me for that bastard, of all people...even though he was thinkin' of me... LISA: *STAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARE* A, aiya! I knew those were the legendary American Gloves! LISA: I heard that a while ago, on Mikage-cho there was this Legendary Captain Naked, and he had those gloves, and he blew an an out-of-control truck to bits with one punch! REIJI: Huh? Look, no matter how you slice it, that story's just nuts... LISA: *STAAAAAAAAAARE* REIJI: W, what the? No, not these!! These are my... LISA: *STAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARE* REIJI: Fuck...I can't sell anything I wanna sell, and I'm losin' somethin' that's important to me...well, what the hell, take 'em. LISA: Eh? Haime! Really?! Hoh san luo! I did it! REIJI: They're a small price to pay for everything ya did for Mayuzumi...well, see ya...use 'em well, so you won't have any regrets.
[This scene begins after you return from the Kuzunoha and spread the rumor that you will get from the Ramen Lady about the guitar case.] RAMEN LADY: Whaaat, again with the Legendary Guitar Case? I told you before, I don't have a guitar case like that here. EIKICHI: Ha ha, that's impossible. Why...well, we spread the rumor...um, no, I mean...you don't really have one, right? RAMEN LADY: Whaaat, you can't trust a former female spy? RAMEN LADY: Your criminal record as a female spy was achieved by rumor...er, no...well, whatever, I guess. EIKICHI: I just want you to lend me a hand, since we've known each other forever. You have the guitar case, right? Please. RAMEN LADY: ....aw, geez...well, I'd really miss you if you hated me...All right. You want the Legendary Guitar Case? It's right here. RAMEN LADY: But it's a rare item, you know...It's not something I can just sell so easily. I'm gonna lay down the conditions of our transaction here. EIKICHI: Heh heh, go for it! Come on! Leave it to me! I'm the man, Michel! Gimme whatever conditions you got! RAMEN LADY: Lately, I've been researching for a new menu...and just a little while ago, I've perfected it. It's called Anko Tang-Mian...[1] EIKICHI: Tacchan. I just remembered some urgent business I have to take care of. See ya. RAMEN LADY: If you try this out for me, Eikichi, I'll sell you the Legendary Guitar Case. EIKICHI: Tacchan! We're buddies, right! Sacrificing your buddy for because you want a weapon, that's not something you'd do, right, Tacchan? CHOICE: - Suck it up and eat it - You don't have to force yourself (Make him do it.) EIKICHI: Damn, I get it! If I eat it, right? If I eat it? I'll show you the guts that I, Michel-sama, have got! EIKICHI: Okay! Anko Tang-Mian, strawberry gyoza, whatever! Bring it all out, wench! RAMEN LADY: Okay, no need to freak out. I'll make it now, wait just a sec... RAMEN LADY: Here you go, sorry for the wait... EIKICHI: Ugh. Ma'am, your finger, finger, your finger's in the soup! RAMEN LADY: It's all right, don't worry. It's not hot. EIKICHI: ...oh, whatever...it's all the same anyway...all righty, I'm givin' it my all! (Eating. [2]) EIKICHI: I ate it...Anko Tang-Mian...ugh... RAMEN LADY: And? How was it? EIKICHI: Heh heh...it was extremely delicious...enough to inflict a status effect...adieu... MAYA: E, Eikichi-kun! RAMEN LADY: You did a good job...and that seals the deal. The Legendary Guitar Case is on the menu now, so when you save enough money for it, come on and buy it. [1] Anko Tang-Mian: Tang-Mian is a kind of Chinese soba noodle in broth with vegetables. Anko is sweet red bean jam. Ugh. [2] Before you think Eikichi's eating habits are disgusting, if you've ever heard Japanese people eat noodles, they really are that loud. It's not rude in Japan to slurp your noodles or soup. In fact, Japanese think that Westerners are weird for eating ramen noodles quietly.
[This scene will begin after you return from the Kuzunoha and spread the rumor that you will get from Garçon Soejima about the handgun.] GARÇON SOEJIMA: Madame...I said that things like Legendary Weapons... MAYA: They really exist. GARÇON SOEJIMA: Oh dear...I can't beat you, can I, Maya-san...I'd like you to not speak of this outside of here. GARÇON SOEJIMA: Yes, we do have the Legendary Handgun at this store. However, it is also a historically treasured item. I don't want to let it out of my hands, if I can avoid it. MAYA: Aww, don't say that. Hey, please. If you have it, sell it to me. GARÇON SOEJIMA: I see...to not fulfill a customer's request would be damaging to this restaurant's reputation... GARÇON SOEJIMA: How does this sound? If you try out our new menu, Maya-san, I'll give you the legendary handgun. MAYA: Eh? Really? I'll do it, I'll do it! I'll eat whatever you say. Leave it to me. GARÇON SOEJIMA: Our new menu is a dish with a generous helping of kusaya. It's an original of this restaurant, Kusaya Spaghetti. [3] MAYA: Kusaya?! GARÇON SOEJIMA: Yes. Maya-san, you dislike kusaya, don't you. Therefore, I ask this favor of you. Of course, you don't have to push yourself... MAYA: Tatsuya-kun...what should I do...kusaya's the only thing I can't eat...Just thinking about the taste is painful... CHOICE: - Come on, eat it. - You don't have to push yourself. (If you want the gun, make her eat it.) MAYA: Eh...no way... GARÇON SOEJIMA: You seem to have very good friends. Well then, please do me the favor of eating it. Kusaya spaghetti! MAYA: O, okay. Fine, I'll eat it! You all watch. I'll show you the power of your Big Sis's guts! (Eating...) MAYA: I...I ate it...ku...kusaya...spaghetti... GARÇON SOEJIMA: No, no, what a remarkable job you did, eating it all. Well...how was the flavor? MAYA: Tatsuya-kun...stand in for me, please... (She collapses.) JUN: Wah, Maya-neesan! CHOICE: - It was tasty - It was bad (Tell him it's tasty.) GARÇON SOEJIMA: Thank you very much. Then according to the promise, I will sell you the Legendary Handgun. GARÇON SOEJIMA: It is in the regular menu lineup, so whenever you like, please come and purchase it. It's okay. I will care for the item until then. JUN: She's unconsious... [3] Kusaya is a kind of fish eaten with sake. (A tsumami.) You split the fish (usually a kind of mackerel) at the belly, and put leftover brine on it and dry it. It smells REALLY strong when you fry it. It's one of the two foods that Maya absolutely cannot eat.
[This event will begin after you've collected both the Legendary Handgun and the Legendary Guitar Case. Go to Araya, and find the boy behind the shrine.] [ARAYA SHRINE] BOY: Ah, you found me. Okay, I'll tell you something cool. BOY: At Honmaru Park, on the bulletin board, there's a weird flyer. I wonder what's written on it. [HONMARU PARK] BULLETIN BOARD: "I've heard a rumor, "Somewhere in this city there's a Legendary Flower"...does anyone know where it might be? BULLETIN BOARD: I'm also told that it might be at the Time Castle, but I'm not positive whether that's the truth or not. Anyone who knows, please contact me." [TIME CASTLE] YOUNG MAN: You say that, so don't you really have it and are hiding it? COUNT: No matter how many times you ask, the answer will be the same. The Legendary Flower is not in this castle. COLLEGE STUDENT: But it seems like there were Legendary Weapons at the Cleir-De-Lune and at the Shiraishi Ramen. MIDDLE AGED WOMAN: Money is not an issue. So, you have the Legendary Flower here, correct? Please sell it to me. COUNT: Legendary...to what extent do humans understand the importance of time that word carries... COUNT: Well, state your transaction. This is not a place for those who are in contempt of time to come. YOUNG MAN: Damn, what a prick! YOUNG MAN: I know, for sure, he's hiding it! He's doing this so he can push his prices through the roof, isn't he? COLLEGE STUDENT: I didn't expect this, but maybe it's not here...there's gotta be someone else selling it at another place. STUDENT: Maybe somebody else already bought it...if so, he should have just said that! FEMALE STUDENT: Did he already use it for something? MIDDLE AGED WOMAN: It must have been stolen! He's just embarrassed and won't say so! Now go around and collect all the rumors from the rumormongers. They'll relate to what the five people in the Time Castle said, obviously. TOKU: The seller is in the factory, but the Count was too scared of the story of the monsters and couldn't go to buy it. TORO: The weapon was stolen by a demon. CHIKARIN: It was sold to a woman of poor fortune. BAOFU: It was given to a woman as a present. SUMARU GYPSY: The Count plans to sell it for a really high price. [If you spread Toku's rumor, you can buy it from a guy on the 2nd floor of the Factory for 500,000 yen. Spread Toro's rumor, and you'll have to defeat Fenrir (a pretty common encounter) in the Liquid Waste Processing room in the Factory to get the weapon. Unless you're above level 70 (like I was at the time) you can just use Estoma to find him easily. If you spread Chikarin's rumor, the flower is gone for good. If you spread Baofu's rumor, Maki will give you the flower. Find her at either Tony's Shop (if Hannya lived) or in 3-B at Seven Sisters (if Hannya died). Finally, if you spread the Gypsy's rumor, the Count will have it for 800,000 yen. I think the choice is clear as to which is best, so I just translated the results of spreading Baofu's rumor.] [3-B, SEVEN SISTERS or TONY'S SHOP] MAKI: Eh? This flower? I received it from the Count at the Time Castle a little while ago. He said that it was the representation of a destiny that must be passed on... Do you want this flower? CHOICE: - Yes - No MAKI: A legendary weapon? This flower? Hmmmmmm...it doesn't look like one...but if you say so, maybe it is... MAKI: Okay, I'll give it to you. Here. |
