*“All that hard work has made me hungry. My apologies, I didn’t know you were here. My name is Naoto Amamiya, and I am in charge of research in the virtual realm. You see, I always want to check to see if any Virusters, the monsters that would hack electronic devices, would arrive so we can fight against those clumsy giant yetis.  Right now, I wish to protect my friends, and Hibiki-chan, because… well, I… I… … You have got to be kidding me. I will deal with this later! See you soon!"*
