Story Full Train

Video Summary: Uncomfortable uniforms, ill-fitting combat boots... and people who shouldn't be here.

A few minutes later, in the tunnel where the plan is set to be executed...
Chapter 1 Full Train Comic Book 001
Fairy: Master, the train is about to enter the tunnel. Please make sure that you and your client are ready.
Chapter 1 Full Train Comic Book 002
Nekomata: Go, Proxy!
Chapter 1 Full Train Comic Book 003
THUD!
Chapter 1 Full Train Comic Book 004
Fairy: Careful, Master. Your posterior struck the train roof with considerable force.
Chapter 1 Full Train Comic Book 005
(ProtagonistProtagonist): This body's even more clumsy than I thought. Just look at these short arms...
Fairy: Don't be discouraged. Your sibling liked your appearance. I believe "tiny and cute" was how they described you.
(ProtagonistProtagonist): (‍My apologies for not being cute enough normally...My apologies for not being cute enough normally... / Well, my apologies for not being cute enough normally...Well, my apologies for not being cute enough normally...‍)
Chapter 1 Full Train Comic Book 006
Fairy: This window is small even for Nekomata, and she's basically a liquid.
Fairy: But it's a piece of cake for you. You should be called King of the World.
Fairy: Now, King of the World of the World, please head to the driver's compartment to complete your coronation—
(ProtagonistProtagonist): Okay, okay. Just need to press the emergency stop button!
Chapter 1 Full Train Comic Book 007
SWISH!
Chapter 1 Full Train Comic Book 008
"Officer" 1: Tch, this mission is such a pain, having to dress like this...
"Officer" 2: Suck it up. My shoes don't fit either.
"Officer" 3: Hey, Captain said we've deviated from the route. What's going on?
Chapter 1 Full Train Comic Book 009
"Officer" 1: Huh?
Chapter 1 Full Train Comic Book 010
(ProtagonistProtagonist): Looks like this train was loaded with a lot more than just explosives... The news didn't mention any of this!
"Officer" 1: Come in, Captain. A talking Bangboo just fell in from on top of the train, should we hand it over to Director Perlman? Yes sir. Eliminate immediately—
Chapter 1 Full Train Comic Book 011
Nekomata: Hey!
"Officer" 1: Ugh!
"Officer" 2: What's going on here?!
Chapter 1 Full Train Comic Book 012
"Officer" 2: W—Wait? Argh!

Nekomata: Meow!
Chapter 1 Full Train Comic Book 014

Doubts Arise

The following is recorded in the Video Archive
Story Doubts Arise

Video Summary: Uncomfortable uniforms, ill-fitting combat boots... and people who shouldn't be here.
Story Description: You and (‍BelleBelle / WiseWise‍) realized the Public Security Officers were impostors. Vision's demolition case is hiding a conspiracy, and Nekomata has also kept things from you.


(SiblingSibling): (‍Oh hey, you're back.Oh hey, you're back. / You're back, sis.You're back, sis.‍)
(SiblingSibling): Why don't you go get some rest? I'll go check on Eous.
Icon Dialogue Talk Any news from Nekomata?
(ProtagonistProtagonist): (‍Any news from Nekomata?Any news from Nekomata? / Still no news from Nekomata?Still no news from Nekomata?‍)
(SiblingSibling): I haven't been able to get hold of her. She should still be in the Hollow. She said she had a Carrot, but the exit is probably pretty far.
(SiblingSibling): But it's not all bad. The news just said Vision is putting off the demolition on Canvas Street until at least tomorrow night due to technical difficulties.
Icon Dialogue Talk What about the demolition?
(ProtagonistProtagonist): What about the demolition?
(SiblingSibling): The news just said Vision is putting it off until at least tomorrow night due to technical difficulties. There's no news from Nekomata yet, but it's still early.
(SiblingSibling): We weren't able to stop the train, but at least we bought some time.
Icon Dialogue Talk "Due to technical difficulties"...
(ProtagonistProtagonist): (‍"Due to technical difficulties"... So Vision is planning on covering everything up."Due to technical difficulties"... So Vision is planning on covering everything up. / That's cheeky! "Technical difficulties"? Vision is hiding something!That's cheeky! "Technical difficulties"? Vision is hiding something!‍)
Icon Dialogue Talk That's a relief.
(ProtagonistProtagonist): (‍When you put it like that, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. But y'know, it is strange...When you put it like that, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. But y'know, it is strange... / Well, I can breathe a little easier when you put it like that! Still, it's so weird...Well, I can breathe a little easier when you put it like that! Still, it's so weird...‍)
(SiblingSibling): Right. Vision must have already realized the train deviated from its original route, but they hid it from the media.
(SiblingSibling): What's more, Vision clearly said it was an unmanned train with explosives, but it was full of armed soldiers.
(SiblingSibling): They were dressed like Public Security, but I heard them saying "this mission is such a pain, having to dress like this," and "my shoes don't fit either." There's no way they were real.
(SiblingSibling): Yeah, and I've got this feeling that Nekomata's been hiding something from us too. We should ask her when she gets back.
(SiblingSibling): But let's not think about that for now. You should get some rest before she gets here.
(SiblingSibling): Syncing with the Bangboo can be very draining, after all.

(SiblingSibling): Why don't you take a nap in the bedroom, (‍WiseWise / BelleBelle‍)? You must be (‍exhaustedexhausted / tiredtired‍) from exploring that Hollow.
(SiblingSibling): Don't worry. (‍I'll keep an eye out for Nekomata and let you know if anything pops up!I'll keep an eye out for Nekomata and let you know if anything pops up! / I'll keep an eye out for Nekomata and let you know if anything happens.I'll keep an eye out for Nekomata and let you know if anything happens.‍)
Icon Dialogue Story Get some rest in the bedroom.

You can't seem to get in touch with Nekomata at the moment, so all you can do now is wait for further info. Use this time to rest and regain strength for later.
(Talk to (SiblingSibling) again, optional)
(SiblingSibling): (‍Go get some rest, Wise! I'll force you to if I have to.Go get some rest, Wise! I'll force you to if I have to. / Why don't you take a nap in the bedroom? I'll wake you up if I hear from Nekomata.Why don't you take a nap in the bedroom? I'll wake you up if I hear from Nekomata.‍)

(Interact with Warm Bed)
(ProtagonistProtagonist): It's getting late. Let's hope we don't run into any more trouble...
Icon Dialogue Sleep Rest until morning
Icon Dialogue Talk Leave
(Interacting with Warm Bed again repeats dialogue)

You rest, undisturbed. Both your body and mind feel much more relaxed.

Tin Master/DMs


(ProtagonistProtagonist): (There's still no news about Nekomata and I feel restless waiting at home, so let's go help Tin Master.)
(ProtagonistProtagonist): (But... "Drinking coffee will improve your VR combat results"? ...For real?)
Icon Dialogue Story Tracked Go help Tin Master at the coffee shop.

It seems that Tin Master needs some help. Since Nekomata hasn't sent a message yet, I should go to Coff Cafe and lend a hand.
(Go to Sixth Street)

(Approach Coff Cafe)
(Idle)
Young Man Who Can't Stand Bitterness: The Tin Master Specials really are... er...
Confused Companion: Do you have to drink it?
Young Man Who Can't Stand Bitterness: I had espresso right before I almost broke that record last time.
Conflicted Girl: What should we get...? How about trying out the Cappuccino? I wonder what kind of "buffs" it has...
Easy-Going Female Student: Does it matter?
Easy-Going Female Student: I don't believe in coffee mysticism. Let's just get whatever's sweetest!
Conflicted Girl: Mysticism is something that works when you have faith! ...Wait a hot second. You're coming to a coffee shop to get whatever's sweetest?
Excited Young Man: Yup, Sixth Street's Tin Master Special is def my fav!
Excited Young Man: With that, I'll be able to get through that stage deathless, for sure!
Calm Guy: I personally think all the Tin Master Specials taste the same...
Promoter: So many people! Great!

(Talk to Tin Master)
Tin Master: How did something like "drinking coffee can boost your VR combat scores" even become a thing...?
Tin Master: Miss Promoter, is that why you chose to rent a coffee shop for your event?
Promoter: Yep.
Tin Master: So you admit it?! Madame, I must point out that you failed to mention this when you initially presented the scope of this event.
Promoter: Just kidding! I only found out about this rumor after hearing it from the people in line...
Promoter: I suppose this is what they call an "urban legend." They're born and spread inexplicably, and inexplicably become something that makes a hit!
Promoter: I've never seen such a crowd at any of my events before. Lucky break!
Icon Dialogue Talk Tin Master, I'm here.
Tin Master: Oh, Manager! You're here!
Promoter: Wow, is this the temporary employee you found? They look efficient!
Tin Master: Manager, I really am so sorry. We're open but I can't serve you — instead, I need to ask you a favor.
Icon Dialogue Talk No worries. There's no rush.
Icon Dialogue Talk Then let's settle the line problem quickly!
Tin Master: Thank you so much!
Tin Master: I'll serve the customers who dine in here. Meanwhile, could you help me serve the completed orders to the customers waiting in line over there?
Icon Dialogue Talk Easy. Leave it to me!
Promoter: You're such a go-getter! I'm counting on you then!
You get the coffee from Tin Master... Deliver it to the customers queuing up to try out the VR game as soon as possible.
Icon Dialogue Story Tracked Bring coffeee to the waiting customers.(X/3)

"Drinking coffee will increase your VR combat scores"? ...What kind of superstition is that? Anyway, following Tin Master's instructions, deliver the coffee to the customers waiting in line.
(Talk to Excited Young Man)
Excited Young Man: This is... my Tin Master Special!
Excited Young Man: Oh, yes, everything is changing before my very eyes now that I'm drinking my coffee...
Icon Dialogue Talk Really?
Excited Young Man: Don't believe me? I highly recommend you try it out. The results are immediate and evident!
Excited Young Man: Now that I had my Tin Master Special... High score here I come!
(Idle, after talking)
Excited Young Man: With my coffee, I can take on anything! Ohohoho, today Imma definitely win!

(Talk to Young Man Who Can't Stand Bitterness)
Young Man Who Can't Stand Bitterness: Oh, my Espresso! Thank you...
Young Man Who Can't Stand Bitterness: I was thinking... Throwing mysticism and whatever aside, from a scientific perspective, an Espresso can help you focus your attention.
Icon Dialogue Talk Sounds scientific indeed...
Young Man Who Can't Stand Bitterness: It's so bitter that once tasted, it befuddles the mind.
Icon Dialogue Talk ...So, it's all about the flavor?
(Idle, after talking)
Young Man Who Can't Stand Bitterness: The best thing about Espresso is that you can shot it and don't have to taste it... All for the new record...

(Talk to Easy-Going Female Student)
Easy-Going Female Student: My coffee is ready? Thanks for bringing it over.
Icon Dialogue Talk How's it taste?
Easy-Going Female Student: Huh... It's not as sweet as I'd like, but it's actually really good...
Easy-Going Female Student: And it feels so refreshing...
Easy-Going Female Student: Is this what they mean when they talk about coffee philosophy...?
(Idle, after talking)
Easy-Going Female Student: So by "coffee mysticism" it's just referring to how it keeps you awake?
Icon Dialogue Story Tracked Reply to the promoter

The coffee is delivered, and the Event Promoter from the Hollow Investigative Association seems to have something to say. Go and chat with her.
(Talk to Promoter)
Tin Master: Have you delivered all the coffee? I really appreciate your help.
Tin Master: If you still fancy a cup of coffee, I can make one for you now...
Promoter: Hold on! Wait!
Icon Dialogue Talk ?
Icon Dialogue Talk What else can I help you with?
Promoter: Actually, I was observing you while you were delivering the coffee. You're quick and have a good memory. Definitely an expert in VR games, right?
Promoter: Why don't you give the Hollow Investigative Association's trial of bravery a go? Hollow Rider!
Promoter: It's a VR game made using the Association's combat training program based on real-life Hollow investigation data.
Promoter: Players can experience the excitement of fighting Hollow enemies in virtual reality!
Icon Dialogue Talk (I've had my fair share of real-world experience, too...)
Tin Master: Hey, promoter lady, the manager has been working really hard. Maybe we should let (‍himhim / herher‍) get a cup of coffee and relax a while.
Tin Master: If the manager is interested in your game, (‍hehe / sheshe‍) can just pay the HIA a visit, right?
Promoter: Of course! But it's in your best interest to do it today! There's a recruitment event on today!
Promoter: If you have time after your coffee, you're welcome to experience Hollow Rider at the HIA Club! You can put that coffee boost to good use!
Tin Master: ...
Tin Master: Anyway, today's on me, so order anything you like. I'll be waiting inside.
Promoter: Well, I'm off to the Association's club with the other players I've recruited~ Be sure to come by if you're interested!
(Coff Cafe has been unlocked)
(Open Coff Cafe Coffee Shop Tutorial)
Icon Dialogue Story Tracked Go have a cup of coffee.

The Event Promoter told me to get a cup of coffee... Well, since Tin Master hasn't retired for the day yet, I might as well go to Coff Cafe and have a cup.
(Enter Coff Cafe)
Tin Master: Come to the coffee shop every day whenever you're free and enjoy a cup of coffee.
Tin Master: You can find the effects of each beverage listed in the Coffee Menu.
Tin Master: This is today's recommended coffee.
Tin Master: It is highly recommended to place an order and try it out.

(Exit Coff Cafe)

(You can drive to the HIA Career Club now!)

Icon Dialogue Story Tracked Go get the cat at the parking lot and head to the HIA club

I think the HIA Career Club is at Lumina Square. I'll have to drive there... I hope the traffic is not too bad in the Janus Quarter.

(A small cutscene plays)
Promoter: It's the manager from the video store! You came after all~ Have you had your coffee?
Icon Dialogue Talk I have. It was great.
Icon Dialogue Talk That's not important. Where's the game?
Promoter: You seem to be far more interested than I thought...? That's awesome! I knew I had the right person!
Promoter: If you could please register at the desk, then you can experience the Association's VR game~
Promoter: Don't forget our slogan, "Hollow Rider!"
Icon Dialogue Talk Huh?
Icon Dialogue Talk Slogan?
Promoter: "Hollow Rider!" —and the next line is, "Challenge accepted!" Real easy to remember, right?
Promoter: Alright, I need to go prepare the rewards for everyone. If you want to go try it, go find Miss Bertha at the front desk. She's the one with red hair.
Icon Dialogue Story Tracked Talk to Ms. Bertha at the front desk.

The promoter said I can register at the front desk to play HIA's VR game. Look for the one with red hair... why emphasize the red hair?
(Idle)
Young Man Who Can't Stand Bitterness: I'm gonna break the record this time...
(Talk to Young Man Who Can't Stand Bitterness, optional)
Man Who Can't Stand Bitterness: Are you planning to take on that super cool cloaked monster too?
Icon Dialogue Talk What cloaked monster?
Man Who Can't Stand Bitterness: You'll know it when you see it! Come find me if you wanna learn a high-score strategy.

(Idle)
Easy-Going Female Student: I really don't get why you guys play this.
(Talk to Easy-Going Female Student, optional)
Easy-Going Female Student: I really don't get why you guys are getting so excited about a VR game.
Easy-Going Female Student: Aren't all the enemies just fake?
Icon Dialogue Talk Well they could hardly be real...
Easy-Going Female Student: ...True. I guess fake ones are safer, so I'll give it a try too.

(Idle)
Excited Young Man: Come on, come on, come on...!
(Talk to Excited Young Man, optional)
Excited Young Man: Hey, judging by that relaxed demeanor, I'm guessing it's your first time here? Just letting you know, it's best to grab a coffee before getting on the machine.
Icon Dialogue Talk I've had one.
Excited Young Man: Oh? So you're a pro then? ...Doesn't matter. I'll still win!

Bertha: You can activate Random Enemy Mode in Combat Simulation.

Bertha: Right, if you're interested in Hollow investigation, here's an expression of interest form from the Association...
Icon Dialogue Talk Is the increase in score significant?
Bertha: You really are a dedicated gamer! I bet these training records will help a lot. If, by chance, you're also interested in Hollow investigation work, this is an expression of interest form from the Association...
Icon Dialogue Talk Thanks, but no thanks.
