Prologue 1[]
- Whew, guess I'm last out of the house.
- I suppose I'll be saying goodbye to this old mansion for a little while.
- But I gotta say... What's taking him so long...?
- Ugh! You are so late! You have to be the laziest private tutor in the world!
- I've already give up on you actually teaching me anything useful.
- But the least you could do at a time like this is help me out a little, Kogoro!
- Oh, reeeally? Look, I know you never actually get any detective work done.
- Why don't you drop the act and concentrate on trying to teach me something, huh?
- What issue? What are you...
- You mean the stone that was taken from my mansion?
- Ahhh! What're these monsters?!
- Ugh! We gotta catch 'em and find out where they took the stone!
- Kogoro! Let's get 'em!
- Hee hee! ♪ Let's see if it's anything worthy of my praise for a change.
- Sure do! ♪ I thought something like this might happen.
- Well, everyone in the Koryuji clan has them. We're a family of fighting monks!
- Besides, what kind of detective carries a sword around like that?
- Yeah, but I wish we'd move on to ninjutsu sometime.
- Well, promise to teach me real ninjutsu, okay? Not any of your usual goofy stuff.
- I showed that stuff off to the other girls in school, and they laughed at me!
- Of course! ♪ I hate composition class, but I'm killer at fighting!
- They already have the stone. There's nothing left for them to take.
- Oooh, trying to play the master detective again, aren't you?
- What else is there other than the sacred treasure of the Koryuji clan?
Chapter 1[]
- Well, I sure haven't found anything.
- That goofy ninja detective stuff doesn't exactly inspire confidence, you know.
- Finally admit it, huh? So, what? You turn up anything this time around?
- Whoaaah! You were actually right?!
- Whoa! Someone's popped out of the fountain!
- You didn't drop anything in, Kogoro. You two, what're you guys doing in my fountain?!
- A succubus?!
- One of those monsters that prey on innocent men in their sleep?!
- We better get to the bottom of this, quick.
- I'm even more surprised! A succubus and a cop? What kind of combo is that, huh?
- Uggh!
- A specialist?
- Ugh, I hate this! I'm not running a theme park here, you know!
- Who is it this time? Nobody friendly, by the looks of it.
- Excuse me, but this is my house! Who are you, anyway?
- I'm up for anything you got, trust me on that!
- Hey! Hey, wait a second!
- "Interesting" isn't the word that's coming to mind.
- So, where should we go first for this?
- Right! Off to Roppongi!
- I guess this is goodbye to the old house for a while.
Chapter 2[]
- They don't look like your typical parkgoers.
- And I wouldn't call those guys too normal, either!
- I don't know what's going on, but we'd better help them out!
- Looks like we got the monster boss here!
- I think I've seen that ring on his back before.
- You've already ransacked my home! What else do you possibly want from us?
- You do realize you and your brother aren't exactly my type.
- Wow, who's that? That's quite an outfit he has.
- I don't think the social center of Tokyo is a good place for a brawl, Bahn.
- What's happened to Roppongi? This is totally going to depress the retail climate.
- Huh? I thought you were just squatting in one of my company's empty offices.
Chapter 3[]
- Kogoro, I don't remember saying you could remodel the place!
- Really?
- Well, if we got in here through the door, maybe we can just go right back out.
Chapter 4[]
- I think we could all use a little explaining, Kogoro.
- You don't say.
- Up high...? Aah!
- I'm a bit suspicious, especially of banana head over there.
- "Fox girl"? Really? What kinda statement are you trying to make?
- My-- This is perfectly sensible attire!
- Sigh. No time to enjoy the shops in Shibuya, I guess.
- Right. We thought we needed to talk with you about my stolen Portalstone.
Chapter 5[]
- Besides, it always happens instantaneously. How are you supposed to enjoy that?
- See? I told you!
- Hee hee! Call it a woman's intuition.
- Wait, I feel something.
- I-I think the power here is growing.
Chapter 6[]
- I'm not sure we can.
- Because I don't feel any energy coming out from that hole any longer.
- A scissor-bunny, OK. Because everything so far was too normal, right?
- Oh, are these girls Gods Eaters, too?
- Like, where did that rabbit and these ladies come from, for starters.
Chapter 7[]
- Recent developments would suggest otherwise, but...
- "PCs"? What are you talking about?
- An online game, huh? You know a lot about those, Xiaomu?
- Don't tell me you've been playing those on company time, now.
- Save it for later, okay? Look, I think we can trust this Kite guy.
- Services!? Oh my God, it's THAT kind of game?
- Should you even be playing this!? Do your parents know!?
Chapter 8[]
- Nothing except your speech patterns, at least.
- Ahh! It's those monsters again!
- W-Wait a second! You can't just do that to me!
- I'm not trying to be!
- Yes! I'd never forget them!
- Either way, we still have a lot left to accomplish!
- Ahhhh! W-What's that? Some kinda ghost?!
- Yeah, well, off to Ginza, I guess! Aura, anytime you're ready!
Chapter 9[]
- This isn't just a prank! Now we're going back and forth in time, too.
- Who're you?! That ring behind you! Are you?
- Go home if you want! I don't care! We're apparently in Japan, after all.
- Yeah, you better not underestimate Kogoro too much.
- Yep! He's my bodyguard and personal tutor! ♪
- Take me away?
- All right, all right, enough foreshadowing. Just stay where you are, okay?
- Something tells me you two aren't completely focused here.
- Ugh! Just tell us what you know already!
- What do you know, Due?! Just say it!
- I don't know what they want, but they're up to something.
Chapter 10[]
- Wow! Look at that goofy muscleman!
- Yeah, hopefully we'll make some actual progress for a change.
- Uh, so who's this guy? He looks like someone important.
- Right! Off to Japan!
Chapter 11[]
- Oh, Bahn. Try to think about all our friends who aren't back home yet, huh?
- We better hurry before something even scarier jumps out of there!
- Yow is right.
- C'mon, you piece of junk! Work!
- W-What? I don't know!
- Ah!
Chapter 12[]
- Ugh, this is starting to drive me crazy!
- They wanted to kidnap me earlier, but not this time, I don't think.
- I'm not looking to "get" anywhere, thanks.
- W-What's that?! I can feel the power coursing into this room.
- (Wait. Why do I even know that?)
Chapter 13[]
- The East European Imperial Alliance? Gallia? Never heard of them.
- When in Rome and all that, huh?
- Now we can finally check out this circle thing!
- Yeah! He's right! How about we talk this over before anything else?
- So, first off, you're the Valkyria of--
- Whoa! She's gonna do something!
Chapter 15[]
- So we've all been flung into different worlds this time around?
- I think we'll have to kill these enemies before we can, though.
- What are you doing? You have to tell us something!
- Let's find out what Due's up to before we go back, though.
Chapter 16[]
- Come on, guys! We can't have everyone fighting each other here!
- We're kind of busy, all right? Come back some other time!
Chapter 17[]
- So we're back in the future? But we were just here!
- We gotta try, anyway. No way am I gonna get sucked into any dimensional vortex!
- Is it me, or did it suddenly get a lot more active?
Chapter 18[]
- Wow. That almost seems like cheating to me.
Chapter 19[]
- We better get back home and investigate this. Right, "Detective"?
- W-Whoa! Now the place is full of robots!
- That guy with the big marble in his stomach brought him here, huh?
- Oh, yes! Hack it! Slash it! Burn it! I wanna watch!
Chapter 20[]
- Well, we were close, at least. Gotta stay optimistic, right?
- Well, yeah. Rabbits usually don't get that big, or talk.
- UGH, yes, we get it, foreshadowing, we're very impressed.
- Wait! What's that "power" you mentioned?
Chapter 22[]
- There she is! Hey, Aura!
- Eesh! How many did you have chasing you, Bruno?!
Chapter 24[]
- Well, don't! Just stay here and don't do anything!
- And all that talk about this "power" I have-- You're driving me crazy!
- Ugh! Due! I can't believe all this trouble she gave us!
Chapter 25[]
- What's wrong with that? If it was fading, that's one thing, but...
- You guys did this to the tree, didn't you?!
- Which begs the question of what Oros Phlox's role is in all of this.
- Kogoro seems up for it, but from a Shinra perspective, do we really want her here?
Chapter 26[]
- In that case, no matter what's waiting for us, we're on our way!
Chapter 27[]
- Maybe the capsule's been swapped out.
- OK, I think that's enough abusing the hosts.
Chapter 28[]
- Slow and steady, all right? Aura's gonna vanish before long!
- Wow! Look at those guys!
- This is turning into some kind of crazy haunted house.
Chapter 29[]
- If so, that means The World's in some pretty serious danger here.
- Is something bothering you, Kogoro?
- The stolen Portalstone?
Chapter 30[]
- Great, thanks for the mental image.
- We need to get back to the mansion, but we can't just run from this, either!
- Yeah, a lot more creepy naked gals, for one.
- You got it! We need to get back to the mansion!
Chapter 31[]
- Whew! Finally back home.
- Guys, would you knock that off?!
- We'll need to scope out the mansion site and maybe inside, too.
- Look do you guys want to fight, or what?
- I'm gonna catch 'em and sue the pants off 'em!
- The mansion, Vashyron! The mansion!
- Hey! Who said you could use my shower?!
- Wha--?!
- That was gourmet flan, you barbarian! You're damn right it was great!
- Mmm? Hmm... *munch* *munch* Mmm... Sweet.
- Well, if you think I have the key, you're dead wrong!
- Besides, didn't you already take whatever treasure there is in this mansion?!
- !! How did you...?
- I don't know what you're talking about, all right?
- Ughh! Again with your portentous crap! No one understands you, OK?
- And I'm serious. You WILL pay me for that flan!
- W-Wait! No! No holes! No holes in the garden!
- A trap?
- No way!
- (W-What?! This feeling...in my body...!)
Chapter 32[]
- Ah...oh, nothing.
- Say, you're right. Wasn't this a shopping mall?
- I've had enough of your stupid tricks in battle!
- Hey, uh, you guys mind if I try something?
- Well, something like that. Maybe.
Chapter 33[]
- Whew! We did it! ♪
- Well...about that...
- Well, with every jump we made up to now, it's like my body would heat up.
- It was...I dunno. Just this really weird feeling.
- It's not something I can explicitly feel, and I don't "think hard," no.
- I don't know, but it probably has something to do with it.
- This is getting kind of scary. I don't get this power at all.
- Guys...
- Yeah. Thanks, everyone.
- Right! We shouldn't just stand here. Let's all go back home, okay?
- I'll just picture the mansion in my mind, and concentrate...
- Huff...huff...haaahhh. Huff...huff...haaahhh.
Chapter 34[]
- Yeah, we probably shouldn't rely on him too much.
- Of course, with nobody here to question, there's not much he can do anyway.
- It's possible. Let's get these guys before things get any hairier!
- Ugh! This rabbit's really getting my goat!
- Oh, wow! Actual detective work from you for the first time ever!
- Yeah, that's not the sort of thing you can train yourself to do.
Chapter 37[]
- L-Look, it's all right! I'm sure they made it here somehow!
- You--You're all right?!
- Tell us everything, Due! What are you doing here?!
- Huh? Due, how much do you know about this power of mine?
- Accepting?
- Exactly! The only prisoner here is gonna be YOU!
- Then we'll make you talk, and then you're gonna pay for that flan!
- My...power?!
- Ooh, this is making me so anxious!
- Oh! Yeah! We still have to figure out this crazy tower!
- Are you sure we shouldn't do something about that?
Chapter 38[]
- ...Sounds like, er, fun times.
- Well, better say our prayers, I guess.
- That guy with the marble in his stomach! Seth!!
- N-No!
- Yeah. Between Jedah and Due, I'm personally involved in this now.
Chapter 39[]
- Kogoro. D-Do you know what might be causing this throbbing sensation?
- I'll find other role models, thanks.
- Your practice is paying off, Princess. You don't look sinister at all!
- What do you mean by that?
- ?! Aw, not you're cheating! Oh, but they're in real space!
- Oh! Right. Boy, I hope this works.
- No guarantees, guys, all right?
- Nnnnnnngh...
- Don't break my concentration, Kogoro.
- I gotta get us outta here at mach speed!
Chapter 40[]
- Good thing I found a flow taking us here, huh?
- Yeah. She said she'd come for me. I wish she'd do it already!
- W-Whoa!
- Nobody ever told me this was here!
- No place to go but down!
- Ahh! My Portalstone!
- The boss?! That guy with the horns?
- Don't act all high and mighty, you dirty little pilferer!
- That stone has been guarded by the Koryuji clan for generations!
- F-For what?!
- Whew. Finally got it back.
- Sigh. Just when I got it back, too...
- I-I didn't do anything! Aaahhhh!!
Final Chapter[]
- W-What happened?!
- Where are we?! Did we get blown to some new world again?!
- I...feel so strange. What is this?
- What do you mean?
- So we're in the same place?
- S-So where's everyone else?!
- No...So everyone's stuck in limbo?!
- Ugh! Can no villain ever give a straight answer!?
- That's the power of the Portalstone? Is this what Oros Phlox wanted?
- I knew nothing about this treasure that I held so dear.
- I knew nothing about the power within me.
- But I'm not a bystander in this anymore! I have to take action!
- My friends!
- What? Kogoro...
- In that case, we'll just have to break it own!
- We have to stay together, Kogoro. Until the very end.
- The fate of the Koryuji clan lies in the balance. I have to be strong here!
- You're all right?!
- Where's everyone else?!
- Right. Let's go, Kogoro!
- Uh-huh! Glad to see the gamble paid off!
- What?! You found them?
- Whew, I'm so happy we could make it happen!
- Has it now? Hohoh, go on, go on!
- That stone... What are you doing with the Portalstone?!
- No! The Koryuji clan sought to protect that stone.
- Huh? Kogoro...?
- So...so this power I have...
- That... That's your "method"?
- Are you...the Portalstone's...?
- Yeah! This plan sounds like total nonsense!
- That's why you were traveling across all of those worlds?!
- My...power...
- Well, if a key opens it... Then it can close it, too.
- You stay right there! I'm takin' you down!
- Pff. I'm a cheerleader. You know what that means? Means we never give up!
- Sure thing!
- Hyaahhhh!!
- The world's fine as it is. I'm fighting to keep it the same!
- Yep! Let's make this ending a happy one!
- Oh, it's perfect! See?
- Well, sounds like you all have your routes pretty well figured out.
- Well, glad to see you're all satisfied.
- It was a really fun journey!
- Well, there they go.
- Oh no no no, you'll want to chill it first, Erica. Trust me.
- Huh? What for?
- No problem at all. That's exactly what I want, in fact.
- We better find someplace secure where we can steal this away, and fast.
- Look, guys, the stone's staying in the control of the Koryuji family, okay?!
- I never thought the cause of all this was right at my front door.
- I'm sorry I put you through all of this. Thanks a lot!
- Yeah. It's like the big party is all over, kinda, isn't it?
- It might happen again, though as long as I have this "power".
- You're an odd kinda private tutor-slash-bodyguard, aren't ya, Kogoro.
- Well, I could just say that this was all part of your tutoring duties.
- Well... Would you like to... come in for tea?
- I...come on, I can make it myself...
- Well, come on, Kogoro! This journey isn't over 'till you go through the door!
