Gymnasium/Dialogue

**Shinobu**: Looks like everyone's here now.

**Maya**: It's an all-star crew.

**Aoi**: Gotta admit, I sure didn't expect some origami to start speaking to me.

**Akira**: Demon hunters can do that sort of stuff too, huh? I gotta step my game up! We'll keep this place safe, so just leave it to us.

**Chiru**: The dark energy around here's mostly disappeared, so it should be safe for the meantime. There's no telling what can happen, though, so I've got a security bot patrolling the area.

**Shinobu**: I hate to get civilians involved in all this, but fortunately this place has an angel's blessing. Lady Risu! Please take care of everyone should anything happen!

**Risu**: Wah? Me? O-okay... I'd be lying if I said I felt confident about this, but... Besides being an angel, I'm also the oldest one here! Leave it to me!

**Nanako**: Will Risu really be okay? Oh well. Push comes to shove, I'll handle it myself...

**Akira**: Hm? An angel? Who're you talking to, Shinobu?

### Houdai

*First Meeting:*

**Houdai**: Shinobu! Maya!

**Shinobu**: Oh! I know this voice!

**Maya**: It's Ho-nii's voice... But where is it coming from?

**Houdai**: Over here! This pillar, specifically.

**Shinobu**: Houdai?! Since when did you become a Pillar Man?!

**Maya**: Look at what they did to my boy...

**Houdai**: I'm as surprised as you are, really. I was minding my own business, then suddenly I ended up fused with this castle. I've been conscious the entire time, but everything's been kind of a blur until recently. Probably because of the dark energy. Things've been getting clearer and clearer with each demon you two defeat. The fact that I can speak right now is all down to you two. Thanks a lot. I was watching over you the whole time.

**Shinobu**: Houdai... We should have been the least of your worries when you've ended up like that... What should we do, Maya? Think he'll turn back to normal if we do our usual thing on this pillar?

**Maya**: Probably not. He's merged with the castle, so we'll have to return the school back to normal first.

**Shinobu**: In simpler terms, we'll have to deal with Adult Kurona. I can't believe she did this to Houdai... I swear I'll never forgive her!

**Houdai**: Speaking of which... Now that I'm a part of the castle, I've got a good grasp of what's happening within. Truth is, Adult Kurona's presence is pretty much gone entirely.

**Shinobu**: Wait, so she's not in the castle at all? Did she go back to the future?

**Houdai**: It's possible... which would mean there's a path to that future somewhere within this castle. Normally I'd be able to see it straight away, but my Pheromone Power is lacking right now...

**Maya**: Your Pheromone Power...?

**Houdai**: Yeah. Sorry, but mind if I ask the two of you to help locate items that would boost my Pheromone Power?

**Shinobu**: I mean, sure, but... How will we know what to look for?

**Houdai**: It's easy. Just bring me five items that'd get any healthy teenage boy fired up.

**Shinobu**: Uh?

**Houdai**: Bring me items that'd get any healthy teenage boy fired up. Around five of them.

**Shinobu**: Why'd you say it twice? I heard you the first time. Maybe you're stupid? Stupid, perverted, and gross?

**Houdai**: L-look! Desperate times, desperate measures! How else am I supposed to stimulate my pheromones?! Come on, please! I only need five!

**Shinobu**: Why're you giving us such a specific number?

**Maya**: Suck it up for now, Shinobu. Let's go find them.

**Shinobu**: \*sigh\* Fine. Items that'd get a teenage boy fired up... Guess we should ask around first.

**Houdai**: Thanks a bunch, you two!

**Maya**: Time to investigate!

*Before asking the students:*

**Houdai**: It's no good... I don't have nearly enough Pheromone Power. This is one of those times where Ekoro would be a big help.

*After talking to the students:*

**Maya**: We're done asking around, Ho-nii.

**Shinobu**: I swear! Everyone thinks I'm a total weirdo now thanks to you!

**Houdai**: S-sorry. How'd it go, though?

**Maya**: Everyone gave us clues. Now we have to search the castle.

**Houdai**: Ahh... I hate taking a backseat like this, but can I leave it up to you two?

**Shinobu**: Hmph! Enough with the big talk. We're the demon hunters here, you know.

**Maya**: Leave it to us.

**Houdai**: Thanks a bunch. I really owe you one. Oh right! I used my influence to activate certain devices around the castle. That should let you traverse areas you couldn't before. Not sure if it'll be of much help, though...

**Shinobu**: Got it. You just sit tight for us, Houdai.

**Maya**: We'll find those items. For sure.

*Deciding not to teleport:*

Houdai: Oh, to be a solid wall that overlooks and protects the pure love between two maidens... That was one of my fantasies, but who'd have guessed I'd end up as a pillar...

### Risu

*Before meeting Houdai:*

**Risu**: It's easy to forget considering how many people can see me right now, but... Angels, myself included, usually can't be perceived by regular humans.

**Shinobu**: ...

**Risu**: Um... Lady Shinobu?

**Shinobu**: Oh! Sorry, I can't actually see you whenever I lose my focus. I'm still going through the proper training, after all.

**Risu**: Lady Shinobu... I never realized there were times when you can't see me. That's a little depressing...

**Shinobu**: ...

**Risu**: Um. It's happened again, hasn't it?

*After talking to Houdai for the first time:*

**Risu**: You're looking for something that will get a teenage boy fired up? I-I'm so sorry... I was attacked by monsters the very second I arrived here, so... I would be lying if I said I had any idea... B-but I can personally carry out the firing up, if need be!

**Shinobu**: N-nope! That won't be happening!

**Maya**: That's our last resort.

**Risu**: Waugh... Sorry for being so useless...

*First Angel Ring reward:*

**Risu**: Congratulations! Angel Ring has prepared a gift to celebrate your many accomplishments!

**Maya**: A gift?

**Risu**: That's right! The two of you continue to preserve peace on Earth by exterminating demons, so Heaven felt it was only right.

**Shinobu**: I can't believe kind angels themselves are praising our efforts. What an honor! It's only right that we continue to strive on!

**Risu**: I'm sure you'll continue to receive more gifts as you defeat more demons and fiends, so please give it your all! Fight on, demon hunters!

*After talking to Houdai again:*

**Risu**: Urgh... I messed up the second I got dispatched... They're going to cut off my pay again...

### Chiru

*Before meeting Houdai:*

**Chiru**: T-too many people I don't know here... I'm getting a bit, uh, nervous...

**Maya**: Sorry. This is the safest area, though.

**Chiru**: Urgh... I get it. I just wanna go home and play some games...

*After talking to Houdai for the first time:*

**Chiru**: WHAT?! You want something that'll get a teenage boy fired up?! What's the deal? Are you trying to do something kinky? Th-then don't get me involved! Take your debauchery elsewhere!

**Shinobu**: Qu-quit jumping to conclusions! We need it for Houdai... To boost one of comrade's Pheromone Power!

**Chiru**: Oh, is that what it's for? I bought some Pheromone Z for research purposes, so feel free to use that... Huh? Oh, shoot! I left it in the area where we fought!

**Maya**: Okay, got it. We'll go collect it for ourselves.

*Starting Dimensional Transmission Device quest:*

**Chiru**: Oh, good timing. I've got a request for you two.

**Shinobu**: And what would that be?

**Chiru**: I'm actually in the middle of making a Dimensional Transmission Device. It basically lets you hop through dimensions, but I'm kind of missing the parts I need for it...

**Maya**: How many are you missing?

**Chiru**: Hm... I'd say about three parts. Sorry, but would you mind bringing any that you find to me?

**Shinobu**: Three parts, right? Got it. We'll bring them along if we find them.

**Chiru**: Thanks a bunch!

*After talking to Houdai again:*

**Chiru**: People don't bother me when I'm fidgeting with my machines... That's why I fidget with them... Silently fidgeting...

### Nanako

*Before meeting Houdai:*

**Nanako**: What's wrong? I-I'm not a demon or anything, okay?! Just your average student!

**Shinobu**: Uh? You don't need to state the obvious...

**Nanako**: Oh! Would you like a yakisoba sandwich? I've got a bunch of them on hand! Just like your average student would!

**Shinobu**: I'm not sure if that classifies as average... Either way, I think I'll pass for now.

*After talking to Houdai for the first time:*

**Shinobu**: Um, Nanako...

**Nanako**: Eeek?! I'm just a normal girl, from a normal family! But if you need any assistance, I'm always here to help!

**Shinobu**: Hm...?

**Maya**: Truth is... yadda-yadda, such and such.

**Nanako**: I see. Something that would get a teenage boy fired up, huh? Oh! I remember seeing a naughty magazine, now that I think about it. It should be in that area where you found me possessed.

*After talking to Houdai again:*

Nanako: So much weird stuff happens at our school that I guess everyone's just used to it now.

### Kaname

*Before meeting Houdai:*

**Kaname**: Wow. You two were right. This place feels much less dangerous than everywhere else.

**Shinobu**: The fact that you can tell really does prove your background. Your sixth sense probably even surpasses mine.

**Kaname**: I'm still not fit for combat or anything like that, though... I'll cheer both of you on from here.

*After talking to Houdai for the first time:*

**Kaname**: Something that would get a teenage boy fired up? Would... a girl's tights be good enough? That tentacle monster that caught me was gathering all sorts of tights. I didn't want to touch them since I had no idea who they belonged to, so you should be able to find some still.

**Maya**: Hmph... What a perverted demon.

*After talking to Houdai again:*

**Kaname**: I still can't believe this is our school... Oh! I wonder if Tenzou's been wrapped up in all of this as well?

### Akira

*Before meeting Houdai:*

**Akira**: To think there were girls other than myself striving to protect the school...

**Shinobu**: I've always felt a connection with you too, Akira! It's hard not to look up to someone with so many legends surrounding them. Especially the one about the Bathroom Excalibur!

**Akira**: Urgh... I'd rather you not bring that up...

**Maya**: This school has too many weird rumors.

*After talking to Houdai for the first time:*

**Akira**: Huh? You wanna know what'd get a teenage boy fired up? Is that the sort of stuff you're into Shinobu? You better not have any illicit activities in mind.

**Shinobu**: I-I do not! We need them to bring this whole situation to an end!

**Akira**: No idea how that'd help, but well... You're the demon hunting experts, not me. Lemme think... I kind of remember seeing a school swimsuit while I was possessed. That good enough?

**Shinobu**: That's perfect! Thank you so much!

*After talking to Houdai again:*

**Akira**: Man... Who'd have thought demons and demon hunters were a legit thing?

### Aoi

*Before meeting Houdai:*

**Aoi**: I dunno what happened, but the school's looking real crazy today. It's totally metal! It'd be mega hype to hold a concert here! Just thinking about it's got me buzzing!

**Maya**: Never change, Aoi.

*After talking to Houdai for the first time:*

**Aoi**: Huh? You're looking for something that'd get a teenage boy fired up? Oh. Pretty sure I saw some bloomers around somewhere. Where were they, again?

**Maya**: Her memory seems fuzzy. She might have seen them while she was fused with that demon.

**Shinobu**: Which means searching around the area we first encountered her might be our best bet.

*After talking to Houdai again:*

**Aoi**: This place is so metal! I can feel a song coming on!
