A Hard Choice dialogue below the cut

Wednesday 11:00 A Hard Choice

Shinbashi SL Plaza

You find Makoto waiting for you at the SL Plaza…

Makoto: Kuze! Hey, over here! Sorry again for the short notice.

Hibiki Kuze: - No problem. - Let's hurry and go.

No problem. Makoto: Thank you. You can relax until we reach Osaka. We'll go right to the meeting when we arrive.

Let's hurry and go. Makoto: Yes, of course. If we leave for Osaka right now, we should make it in time for the meeting.

Gowned Woman: Hello. It seems we'll be traveling to Osaka together.

Hibiki Kuze: - So we will. - Who're you again?

Makoto: This is Otome Yanagiya, one of JP's' private doctors.

Otome: I've heard quite a few rumors about you. Chief Hotsuin and Mako both talk about you so much.

Makoto: O-Otome! What're you saying!?

Hibiki Kuze: - Oh is that so…? - Yamato too?

Oh is that so…? Makoto: Wh-What's with that smirk on your face!?

Yamato too? Makoto: Y-Yes, exactly! Chief Hotsuin speaks of you rather frequently! Almost too frequently!

Otome: Why're you changing the subject? It's not like I said you were in love with him or anything.

Makoto: Ngh! Enough! We must leave for Osaka!

Otome: Hahaha! Sorry. It seems everyone really does like you.

Hibiki Kuze: - I'm honored. - What about you?

I'm honored. Otome: Ah, good. You are a boy, after all. It's not such a bad thing to be loved.

What about you? Otome: Who knows? Maybe I'll end up liking you too.

Otome: Come on, it's almost time to go.

---

I love this conversation. Yamato talks about Hibiki almost too much!!!

Post-Bud of Malice dialogue below the cut

Wednesday 07:00 Bud of Malice

Minato Tokyo Tower

Post-battle phone call:

Io: Hm…? I think your phone's ringing.

Yamato: I have been told that you subdued Megrez. Well done.

Hibiki Kuze: - We only beat one of them. - There's still more out there.

We only beat one of them. Yamato: That's fine. The others have already been taken care of.

There's still more out there. Yamato: Not an issue. The rest have already been destroyed.

Yamato: What are your thoughts on that engagement?

Hibiki Kuze: - Which part? - It was a piece of delicious cake. - I could use a nap.

Which part? Yamato: So you didn't sense anything? Very well.

It was a piece of delicious cake. Yamato: I see. So you felt the same as I. Compared to the last three, this "Megrez" was rather weak. I'll keep you posted as we learn more. Well done.

I could use a nap. Yamato: Very well.

Yamato hangs up without saying goodbye.

---

Yamato immediately hanging up on you if you say 'I could use a nap' had me in stitches.

He seriously needs to learn some phone etiquette.

Barrier Failure dialogue

Friday 12:00 Barrier Failure

Shinsekai Osaka H.Q.

You arrive at the Osaka branch to pull out the Dragon Stream's stakes…

Makoto: There you are. Everyone else has already gathered.

Hibiki Kuze: - Where's Yamato? - Are we forming teams?

Where's Yamato? Yamato: I'm right here. The teams have been assigned. We await only you.

Are we forming teams? Yamato: We've already handled it. We await only you.

Hinako: Hey, it's the Chief. Is this operation ready to go?

Yamato: This is the point of no return. Once we begin, all barrier will be lost. There is no turning back. Are you prepared?

Airi: Prepared or not, there's no other way. We've gotta do it.

Daichi: Hehehe, I guess you're right. We gotta do this.

Hibiki Kuze: - No problem. - From here we set forth.

Yamato: Alright, let's begin the operation. There are three towers that need stakes pulled up. We'll form three teams to cover them. We can't predict what will happen, so the teams are based on complementary strengths. First is Shijima, Nitta, Akie, and Sako. They will act as Team Tokyo. Next is Kujou, Wakui, and Yanagiya. They will form Team Osaka. Lastly, Ban, Kanno, and Torii will serve as Team Nagoya. The question is… Which team will you lead? Tokyo, Osaka or Nagoya?

Hibiki Kuze: - Daichi/Io/Joe/Makoto - Hinako/Keita/Otome - Airi/Fumi/Jungo

Choosing Tokyo: Daichi: Score! You woulda missed me, huh? Be honest!

Io: Thank goodness… I feel much better knowing you'll be with us.

Joe: Fantastic! Having you along sure is a load off my mind.

Makoto: You know how important this operation is, we cannot fail.

Yamato: Very well. The makeup of Team Tokyo has been decided.

Choosing Osaka: Hinako: Good call! Let's show 'em how it's done!

Keita: Hey. Don't get in my way, huh?

Otome: Are we on the same team? Excellent. Hehe!

Yamato: Very well. That settles the makeup of Team Osaka.

Choosing Nagoya: Airi: Tagging along with Team Nagoya, eh? Wonderful!

Fumi: We'll do this in no time.

Jungo: So you picked my team, huh? Great.

Yamato: Very well. That settles the makeup of Team Nagoya.

Yamato: Your team will be our main force. Proceed directly to the source of the Dragon Stream, Mt. Fuji's crater. Take the terminal there and use this code at the stake's control center. I'll tell you about removing the stake once you arrive. The rest of you will get your instructions en route. Now, move out!

Mt. Fuji Crater

Your phone rings…

Yamato: It's me. Have you arrived safely?

Hibiki Kuze: - I'm cold… - What do we do now?

I'm cold… Yamato: I'm sure you are. This is what you wanted; I suggest you grit you teeth and get through it.

What do we do now? Yamato: I called to tell you precisely that.

Yamato: Observe the lowest level of the facility. Can you see part of the stake that's been driven into the ground? There are a few steps to uproot that stake. We must activate the terminal on the far side. I've just sent the codes to your phones. Once you activate the terminal, you'll gain access to the stake. You'll then need to send the codes to the stake from three locations, in a set order. The next location will be specified each time you send a code. Once all three have been send, the stake will be deactivated. Be careful. The power of the Dragon Stream is already attracting demons. As you remove the stake, even more demons will begin to appear. Perhaps more than we're prepared for. Be on your guard.

Post-battle:

Yamato: Good work out there. The stakes in the Dragon Stream have been pulled. We're ready for the next step.

Keita: About time! I'm looking forward to getting even with that Mizar.

Yamato: That is the end goal, yes. One last thing… As expected, the barriers protecting the three cities have collapsed. Without barriers, they will be swallowed by the Void and disappear completely.

Daichi: Hrgh… We cut our time limit to the bone.

Joe: Sure did. Well, there wasn't anything else we could've done.

Yamato: That's right. There's no time left for philosophical debate. The time for hesitation is long since past. I will eliminate any who do not share my vision. Decide whether you will follow me or be erased. Tonight may be your last chance to choose.

Daichi: Ngh…

Airi: ……

Hibiki Kuze: - Understood. - I'll think about it.

Yamato: I'd rather not waste precious time here. Let's proceed to the next step.

Airi: Oh, right… That key thing?

Yamato: Yes, the goal is to change the Stream's energy into a dragon capable of dealing with Mizar. The first step, extracting the stakes from the Dragon Stream, has been completed. Now we must resurrect the demon who is the key to activating the magic circle.

Daichi: I remember now… The "key" demon needs a medium, right?

Yamato: It does. We have determined the best candidate for the job from your health exam results.

Hibiki Kuze: - …Who? - How'd you do that?

…Who? Yamato: Before I inform you, there is something you must know. Do not be alarmed.

How'd you do that? Yamato: *sigh* Does being a pest come naturally to you? That's the least of your worries.

Yamato: To put it bluntly, acting as a demon's medium is never safe. In this case, the demon has lost some of its essence to the Void. I cannot guarantee the survival of the one who will act as medium.

Jungo: They might not be okay?

Airi: N-No…! That's…

Hibiki Kuze: - That's awful… - If it must be done…

That's awful… Yamato: What do you propose to do about it? I don't mind ending this here and now. Either way, the barriers that once defended our cities are already gone.

If it must be done… Yamato: Hahaha… I'm proud. A true commander can make the necessary sacrifices.

Hinako: Hold on, let me ask you something. You did pick a medium for how well-suited they were, right?

Yamato: What other factors are there to consider?

Hinako: Just so long as you didn't pick someone because they disagree with you. I'd hate to think you tampered with the selection to send someone you won't miss.

Yamato: Oh, I see. Hahaha! Unfortunately, that wouldn't work. It's rare to find one who would serve so well as a medium. You can see the results if you like. In the end, there was only one viable candidate. As I said, I am only going along with your idea. If you want to back out, feel free.

Otome: Hinako… He's telling the truth. It's hard to find people with that kind of aptitude. I'll back him on that.

Hinako: Alright. No hard feelings, then. Everyone's okay with that?

Hinako is looking around at everyone's faces…

Hibiki Kuze: - Of course. - If you say so…

Of course. Daichi: Y-Yeah. I promise not to hold a grudge.

If you say so… Daichi: Y-You're right… Everyone's scared.

Yamato: If there are no objections, take Nitta to Miyashita Park. I'll send you the seal code.

Io: *gasp*

Airi: W-Wait! What did you just say?

Yamato: I told you to take Io Nitta and head to Miyashita Park.

Daichi: What…? No! You're joking, right!?

Hinako: No way! Io's the only candidate?

Io: I… I…!

Io runs off…

Makoto: Ah--Wait, Nitta!

Fumi: Hm…

Yamato: She fled… Well, no matter. Unless she's entirely brainless, she'll be there. The demon Lugh is the key to the Dragon Stream. He's sealed in the park. Prepare yourself and head straight there. You'll receive further instruction en route.

You leave the area amidst a cloud of unrest…

Yamato Hotsuin's Recordbreaker Dialogue - Friday

Yamato & Io dialogue below the cut

Friday 06:30 Yamato & Io

Nagata-cho Tokyo Branch

You find Io speaking to Yamato…

Yamato: Yes, Nitta? What do you want?

Io: Er… I-I wanted to ask you something. Why did you, um…

Yamato: I've seen this for some time now. You are wise and open-minded, Nitta, but rather poor at relationships. It is a noticeable defect.

Io: S-Sorry, I'll try to keep that in mind.

Yamato: So long as you understand. Now, what do you want? Keep it brief, please.

Io: Wh-Why did you say those things when you know they could cause a split?

Yamato: Hahaha! A split? How very amusing. I assume you mean my speech about the meritocracy.

Io: Wh-What's so funny? You… You hide things from people, make them angry and scared! How is that funny?

Yamato: Silence, girl. It is not required that you understand. Think what you will.

Io: Why do you say things like that? If you were nicer, people would be more understanding.

Yamato: I don't doubt it. That is how the world rotted in the first place.

Io: What…!? Rotted?

Yamato: Nitta, you must be quite happy with the status quo. All your good intentions and sincere endeavors will never succeed over self-interest. No one takes the long view. Any civility man maintains is only to prevent the loss of social benefits. Those dregs are worthless! They rise up while the worthy are crushed underfoot! What is the point in such a world? To be a true leader, one must jettison the past that has built up like so much filth! If no one else will do it, then I must. I'll fight to the bitter end, even if I stand alone!

Io: But… I…! E-Excuse me!

Io rushes from the room…

Yamato: Now then. You're here, aren't you, Hibiki?

Hibiki Kuze: - I wasn't hiding that well. - No, I'm not! - Don't be cruel to Io!

I wasn't hiding that well. Yamato: Hahaha! You knew I noticed your presence, didn't you?

No, I'm not! Yamato: *sigh* How flippant. You knew that I noticed your presence, didn't you?

Don't be cruel to Io! Yamato: Oh, is that one yours? Pardon me for saying so, but she seems to lack discipline.

Yamato: I can see the pawns have begun to think. Now, the question is: What conclusion will they reach?

Hibiki Kuze: - Same goes for Ronaldo. - It'll vary, I think.

Same goes for Ronaldo. Yamato: The fool in Nagoya? He is trivial. If he gets in my way, I will crush him. That is all.

It'll vary, I think. Yamato: Indeed it will. But regardless of what anyone thinks, I'll not waver from this path.

Yamato: No matter how desperately they struggle, only one world can be made. Only one world is worthy of being made. Those filth waste their lives propping each other up. If they cannot agree to my merit system, then I will gladly sacrifice every last one for my ideal. I do respect you. I won't force you to my side, but I hope you will consider this carefully.

Yamato gracefully salutes before leaving…

---

Yamato telling Io she sucks at relationships absolutely clotheslined me the first time I ever heard it, and the fact that her only response is 'oh ok' and not laughing her ass off just kills me. NOT LIKE YOU, RIGHT, BUDDY?!

I also felt a lot of feelings about Yamato assuming that Io is 'Hibiki's' if you choose to defend her, and while I'm not sure that they're necessarily good ones, I do find it interesting that he's not totally oblivious to romance. He has a pretty snobby attitude about anything sex-adjacent, but he clearly has some understanding.

'It is a noticeable defect' y'all, I can't
