    January 2nd Teito Nippou ( Q - name of a newspaper) newspaper extra"New Enemy Appears""Great Chaos at Meiji Jinguu"Grotesque monsters appear at the Meiji Jinguu. It is a great bitter battlefor the TeikokuKagekidan - Hana-Division.During the Hatsumoude at the bustling Meiji Jinguu grounds grotesque monsters appeared, around one o'clock, exhibiting a confused and noisy condition. The TeikokuKagekidan - Hana-Division moved out. Even though these were repelled, the damage was tremendous. Are the Spirit Child Armor Koubu casualties?The appearance of new demons is a shock to Teito citizens and (something)Yoneda: This scandalous news article says it all. You idiot!!(1st option)Oogami: So you say, Chief Yoneda. But the Koubu were no match for them.Yoneda: Oogami! You indeed!! Are you not the Hana-Division companycommander!?Did you only learn debating and secrets to living a good life in themilitary academy!?!Oogami: ..................Fujieda: The citizens of Teito fear a new menace after the Kuronosukai......Yoneda: Since everyone is hiding within their homes and won't come out Teito's economy is dwindling.Since yesterday I've been receiving tasteless messages from eminent membersof government about that matter.I've got a stomachache that can't be helped.Oogami: That...... is because you drink to much osake......Yoneda: Did you say something?Oogami: No, nothing!Yoneda: Is that clear, Oogami!?Don't make a mess of the peace we had from defeating the Kuronosukai!Moreover, if you continue this shameful conduct you will be nothing more than a ticket puncher!Oogami: No...... nothing more than a ticket puncher!?Yoneda: When it looks bad, you must think of a countermeasure against themonstrous enemy!Oogami: Y- yes sir!Yoneda: If you understand, go!Oogami: Y- yes sir! Excuse me!Fujieda: (laughing) Chief, weren't you overreacting just a bit?Yoneda: (sorry, missed this)Don't forget the confusion in the calm. We mustn't be unprepared even intimes of peace......Fujieda: The previous battle with the Kuronosukai...... the normal conditions were too sweet.Yoneda: Aoi Satan...... He may be more of a burden than Tenkai......Fujieda: ............

    Satan: Finally the time has come for you to surface aboveground......You may snatch away all the lives of the living in this world...... You mayeat all the flesh......However, for that purpose, the interlopers must be buried......A magnificent enemy is waiting for you......

    Oogami: Nevertheless...... that a monster such as that remains yet alive......Kouma............Six years ago...... the Kouma sealed within the depths of the earth by

    Lieutenant General Yoneda and the others in the RikuGunTaiKoumaButai(Army Anti-Kouma Corps)......now...... by the hand of that Aoi Satan have been called back to Teito......If we don't repair the Koubu fast...... Teito will be in terrible trouble.Yes, hold on a second......Kohran: Oogami-han...... Sorry for coming so late at night.Oogami: ......What's wrong, Kohran?Kohran: ......I'd like to talk with you for a bit. Can I...... come in?Oogami: ......I understand. Well then, come inside.Sumire: ............Kohran?Kohran............ What can you possibly wish to speak about with theensign......?Oogami: ......Well then, Kohran. What did you want to say?Kohran: Speaking from my own conclusions...... my expectations for the repairs of the Koubu seem fairly low.Oogami: What?Kohran: From what I've seen, the Koubu's Soul Child Engine is completely dead.Repairs will be fairly difficult......And honestly speaking, even with repaired Koubu...... this time I don't knowif we can beat the enemy.Oogami: ......So what you're saying is that we need a weapon even greater than the Koubu...... it would seem.Kohran: If only it were that simple. Even if it were, this TeikokuKagekidanwould become a money-eating worm.Development of the Soul Child Armor, adjustments, maintenance...... I don'tknow where the money is going to come from to pay for any of these.And then, the destruction of the Koubu...... To make matters worse, becauseof the new enemy Teito's economy is dwindling.At this time, we simply don't have enough to make a new Koubu.Oogami: Funds..................hm!?Kohran: What's wrong, Oogami-han? Such a frightening face......Oogami: Well...... didn't you hear something just now?Kohran: No, I didn't hear anything. Oogami-han, maybe it's your imagination?Oogami: I see......Kohran: Oogami-han...... What will you do now?(1st option)Oogami: This isn't a problem I can solve by myself. I'm going to speak withManager Yoneda.Kohran: ......Understood. I'll tell everyone in the Hana-Division to gatherin the war planning room.Oogami: I'll leave it to you.Now then...... to Manager Yoneda's room.

    Oogami: It's Oogami. Manager Yoneda, I have to speak with you.Yoneda: Oh, come in.Oogami: Pardon me.Manager, the truth is......Yoneda: This is about the Koubu, right?Oogami: ......Yes, it is. The extent of the Koubu's efficiency, and,moreover, the difficulty of funding......Manager...... How can we possibly solve this problem?Yoneda: Hm, that problem's been giving me a headache as well......However, Oogami...... Couldn't you leave this to me?

    Oogami: Yes sir......Yoneda: It isn't all bad. It'll just take a little time. Therefore,Oogami......Please try to keep your comrades in the Hana-Division smiling!Oogami: ......Understood. Well then, please excuse me.Everyone in the Hana-Division should be gathered in the war planning room.

    Oogami: It seems everyone is gathered.Maria: Yes...... Now then, shall we begin?Sakura: This is about counter-measures against those monsters...... the Kouma, right?Kanna: First, let's hear the commander's opinion.As for dealing with those monsters...... what do you think we should do?(1st option Sa+ Ka+)Oogami: Training again for all members. The strength of the human pilots ofthe Koubu shall become as strong a fighting force.The only way to strengthen the current fighting force of the Hana-Division is for each member to become stronger individually!Maria: Never forgetting one's original intention..... yes?Kanna: Returning to one's origin..... I see! Sounds good.In that case I'll go once more to the mountain where I trained in karate solong ago!Sakura: I'll refine my skill with the sword at the origin of the teacher towhom I am indebted.....Oogami: Okay! Now then, the others.....Sumire: I don't want any part of this special training.Iris: (?)Oogami: .....Eh?Iris: Iris would rather have a new Koubu made than special training.Sumire: I agree. We can't win fighting with just our bare hands.Kanna: But, don't you believe the last remaining humans alive will eventually be those who disciplined themselves to the limit of their souls?Sumire: If that is what you believe, then you can seclude yourself on amountain somewhere and practice your karate.....Do whatever you like that befits a jungle queen.Kanna: What did you say!?Oogami: You two, calm down!Maria: ......Commander, what do we do?(1st option)Oogami: ......All right, special training!Let us all return to our own individual origins and take hold of somethingwe have forgotten!!Sakura: Yes!Kanna: Yosshaa!Oogami: What about the rest of you?Sumire: ............Iris: ............Maria: I obey my commander's orders......Oogami: ......And Kohran?Kohran: Well...... honestly speaking, I don't think there is any specialtraining I can do to become stronger.Oogami-han. All people vary in their appearance and their minds with theirown interests and beliefs.If there are those people who agree with your thoughts, then there will alsobe those who do not agree, right?Oogami: But............Kohran: So I'll be busy with new inventions.

    (in the cafeteria)Oogami: Oh...... Kanna, eating food as usual.Kanna, it looks delicious.Kanna: It's like I've said - eating food is the best way to become strong.Eating anything, whether you like it or hate it.

There have never been any I love or hate.Kanna: Heh, that's quite amazing! But no matter what you eat, you'll want to eat what tastes good.What a meal.Eating food here after all...... is the true feeling of having returned to the Imperial theatre for me.Well then, commander.

Well, see you later.Now then...... I should be going as well.

    (in the library)Maria: Commander...... what are you doing here?Oogami: I was going to ask you...... why are you in the library so soon after coming back?

Well then...... please excuse me.Oogami: ......I think I'll walk around the theatre some more after so long.

    (at Iris's door)Oogami: It's been so long...... I wonder how Iris is.(knocking)Fujieda: Yes, who is it?Oogami: Huh? It's Ayame-san's voice.Fujieda: Oogami-kun.

Why are you here?(2nd option)Oogami: I came to see Iris after so long, but............it seems she's still sleeping.Fujieda: Iris is still growing right now. She's at the time when no matterhow much she sleeps, she can't seem to get enough...... Oogami-kun, do youhave such memories as well?Oogami-kun. Please tell Iris that you're home.Oogami: ......Iris, I'm home.Iris: (indistinct)Oogami: Hahaha...... she's sleeping innocently.Fujieda: Oogami-kun, have you noticed anything about Iris?Oogami: Eh? What do you mean?Fujieda: Right now Iris needs to sleep.For the growth of her mind and body...... you see.......Well then, I must be going. I'll be in my room, so if anything shouldhappen, drop by.Oogami: The growth of her mind and body......huh.Perhaps right now it may be more important to Iris than any special training.See you, Iris...... sleep well.Well, now that I've been able to check on Iris, I should go see everyone else.

    (at Kohran's room)Oogami: It's been quite a while since I've been in Kohran's room......(knocking)Kohran: Yes.Oogami: It's Oogami...... could you open the door?Kohran: ......Oogami-han!

I'd like to say hi to the others, so I'm going.Kohran: ......See you, Oogami-han.(2nd option)Oogami: Kohran, good luck. We rely on you for the Soul Child Armor.Kohran: ......Yup........................Oogami: ......What is it, Kohran?Kohran: I...... have a dream.This dream's not anything really big. I just want to fly freely in the sky.Oogami: If it's the sky, you can always fly in the Shougei-Maru, can't you?Kohran: That's only floating! I was talking about flying freely on wings.Oogami-han, do you know about airplanes?Oogami: If you mean the army's planes, I've seen them before, but......Kohran: Yes, those!Crash! Crash! ......Crash again!There're too many problems in both the design and the output!But still, if we have the technology to make the Soul Child Armor......we should be able to fly as far as China......But...... I know - a person who devoted his life to an incomplete airplanelike that......A time long ago when I was small. That person...... flew over to Japan in an airplane he made himself......Hmhm...... he flew......He didn't say anything...... and he promised nothing.Afterwards...... I don't know what happened......I would follow that person flying freely in the air......Ever since then...... that's what I've believed.Oogami: ......I see.(1st option)So you want to complete an airplane.Kohran: Eh......?Oogami: You've had this dream for so long, right? You must complete it. For yourself, and that person......Kohran: ............Oogami: Isn't that right...... Kohran?Kohran: Yeah......Oogami: If there's anything I can do to help, tell me anytime.Kohran: ......Okay, Oogami-han.Oogami: See you, Kohran.(2nd option)Oogami: You really liked that person, didn't you?Kohran: Eh......? Me......?......is it true? Not it's not! Well...... it may be...... true.

Oogami-san.Oogami: Hey, Yuri-kun. What are you doing here?Yuri: Um...... Oogami-san. Please don't blame Sumire-san too much.Oogami: Eh?Yuri: I know. Sumire-san...... has been bustling from morning to night.In order to contribute to the expense of developing the Teigeki'sweapons......Oogami: ......What did you say!?Yuri: At night, parties in the financial world; during the day, patrollinggovernment and public agencies......Because of this......

If you especially want to thank Sumire-san...... don't say so. (?)If you just believe that Sumire-san is important......then please close up Sumire-san's conditions in your heart.Oogami: Sumire-kun......

    (at Sumire's door)Oogami: If Sumire-kun...... is in her room, it would be good, but......(knocking)It's Oogami...... Sumire-kun, are you there?Sumire: ......It's you, ensign. Is there something you want with me?Oogami: ......I want to speak with you. Do you suppose you could answer thedoor......?Sumire: ............Come right in. I'm opening the door.......If you're here to preach, then I'm sorry.Oogami: N- no...... that's not it......

I do not remember any such thing.I do not know from whom you heard that, but I have only been enjoying myselfall this time.As a result, I'm very tired. I was planning on taking a nap right now.Oogami: Sumire-kun............Sumire: Ensign...... don't be bothered by anything strange, and please showyour face to Iris or Kohran.Those girls...... have been waiting such a long time for your return......Oogami: ......I see. Thank you, Sumire-kun.

    (after going to various places, you will hear the alarm)Oogami: The alarm!? Have the Kouma come!?!......Okay.

I just though I'd learn a little about the Kouma......Sakura: Hmm, what book is it?Oogami: Um, it's a copy of HouShinKiShoDen ( Z M G - "Legend of theLiberated God"? - the romanization is probably wrong too......).

Chief Yoneda is calling.Oogami: Eh...... yeah, understood! Where is he?Maria: The chief is waiting in the basement storeroom.Oogami: Basement storeroom......? He doesn't want to tell me to sort thestoreroom this time, does he......?Maria: Commander, the chief seemed to be in a hurry, so I think you should go there as fast as you can.

    (in the basement storeroom)Oogami: What do you want in the basement storeroom?Yoneda: You'll see soon......Oogami: Th...... this is......Yoneda: Yes, this is the enemy we are fighting now...... the Kouma.Oogami: Kouma......Yoneda: They are troublesome enemies whose strength is to an extent to whichthe Kuronosukai could not compare.Oogami: Yes......Yoneda: That is everything you have been told so far since they appeared.Fujieda: Look at this......Oogami: Th- there are Kouma in a painting so old!(If you can't find them, look harder.)Yoneda: This is the oldest confirmation of them we have in the present day.Fujieda: The battle with the Kouma did not start now.Yoneda: From four hundred years ago...... the battle on this earth betweenhumans and Kouma has been spread.At that time we humans were victorious, despite how bitterly, and those Kouma were sealed deeply underground.But the Kouma have concealed themselves, continuing to view the situation insecret for an opportunity to invade aboveground.Fujieda: Each time they have appeared in the past they have made a small scale attack to tear our bound world.But, each time they appeared above ground we humans defended against that and confined them again underground.Oogami: There were people who fought the Kouma before us?Yoneda: Long, long ago...... yes.They were formed by the same objective written in the RikugunTaiKoumaButai.The tale of long, long ago...... it was an era when no one really protectedTeito from demons.I, and Shinguuji Kazuma...... Together, Sakura's father and I increased thenumber of colleagues in private.Even while continuously feeling the presence of evil......Oogami: B- but...... in an era without the Soul Child Armor, how could youfight them?Yoneda: Obviously, we couldn't fight the demons as well as we do now.Since we had nothing more than our own flesh and a sword......By the time the Kouma wars had ended, we had lost both Shinguuji Kazuma andYamazaki Shinnosuke.Fujieda: ............Six years ago......Yoneda: Shinguuji Kazuma had a special kind of spiritual power...... the Haja no Chikara ( z - Evil-destroying power).Shinguuji Kazuma drew upon his life to seal the Kouma......Oogami: Haja no Chikara......?Yoneda: I believe I told you before, but the Haja no Chikara is power of the

    Ma wo Karu Mono ( " - the ones who hunt evil) that has existed since ancient times.I can only tell you that that power is inherited through bloodline. ......The Shinguuji house is one of those.Oogami: The bloodline of the Shinguuji house......?......Then, does Sakura-kun have that power as well?Fujieda: Yes, it is true...... but the way of unleashing that power is amystery......Perhaps Colonel Shinguuji...... meant to tell us after Sakura has become anadult......(Colonel = R , (taisa - also a navy captain). However, R , may also be read as Oosa, a person's name, which caused some confusion until I did moreextensive research.)Yoneda: But every Shinguuji gone now was lost in opposition to the Kouma............But we have a trump card against the Kouma......Oogami: Trump card......?Yoneda: Yes, a trump card. It should be used only as a last resort.That...... is this!Oogami: Th- this is......!Yoneda: These are called the Majinki.Oogami: Majinki......?Yoneda: As you can see, the Majinki are the sacred tools of old - the sword,jewel, and mirror.

    (The Majinki - 1 ("Magical God Tools") are the sword - R (ken), jewel

    - # (tama), and mirror - (kagami) that are rooted deep within the Japanese culture and may be found in many anime series.)

This is the greatest secret of military authorities. Do notspeak of it to anyone.Only Ayame-kun and I are able to open this strongbox.Therefore, he will definitely attack here! Prepare yourself!The Majinki are, as written ( 1 ), the ultimate sacred tools (1 ) hiding

    the power of the devil ( ) and god ( )!I have kept silent about it to you, but...... your true duty in the Teigekiis to protect these Majinki from the treacherous!Oogami: ......!!Fujieda: Since the key to unfastening the seal on the Seimajou is here, theywill come without fail to take the Majinki by force!Yoneda: Oogami...... The Kouma will appear here without fail.At that point, I want you together with Ayame-kun to reinforce the defense of the perimeter of the Majinki.Oogami: Yes sir!Yoneda: In order to have utmost important secrecy in your duty, you mustabsolutely never tell anyone of this outside or certainly even in theHana-Division!Oogami: Chief Yoneda, does Sakura-kun...... know the reason why her fatherdied?Yoneda: No...... I haven't told her. Oogami, can you tell her?That Kazuma died fighting the demons...... and that now the ones you arefighting are those demons......!To burden an eighteen-year-old girl so...... it is far too heavy. If she knew such a thing......Oogami: Sakura-kun would......Yoneda: Oogami...... what I have just told you, you must never tellSakura...... is that clear!?Oogami: Yes......

    Iris: Just a little more and we'll have finally reached the hidden treasure!Kohran: Watch out! There is a trap! Follow in my steps!Iris: Okay.Kohran: First, three steps left, then four steps right, and seven stepsahead......Is how we have to walk......

    Kohran: What for?Sumire: It's suspicious, isn't it.Sakura: Oogami-san......

    Oogami: If we set up a trap here, then when the enemy comes inside, he won'tbe able to reach the basement storeroom.Fujieda: ......A trap? But what kind?(2nd option)Oogami: If we, for example, fastened a steam pipe from the storeroom and used some kind of jet propulsion......Fujieda: I see. Good idea, Oogami-kun.Oogami: Is it? We could use a duplicate steam pipe leading upstairs.If we tried looking there'd be some good plumbing......Fujieda: Ah, your face...... you're sweating.Oogami: Ah, it's all right! I'll do it myself!!Fujieda: Don't be so diffident! In these times, even a gentleman has to take care of his personal appearance.Oogami: (As always a good fragrance......)Fujieda: Good. You are meek, Oogami-kun.Oogami: Y- yes......Fujieda: Never deceiving yourself is an important thing.Oogami: I- I wouldn't do such a thing.Fujieda: I...... am a bit worried that I haven't been myself lately......Oogami: Ayame-san......?Fujieda: From now on, be honest with yourself, Oogami-kun.Oogami: Eh, well...... I'm embarrassed......(All right. I am obviously not getting something right here......)

    Maria: ......What could he be doing?Sakura: ............!Sumire: That face ensign has...... As though he's in love.Kanna: Ah, that face is no good.Kohran: No, the commander is unattainable.(Literally, "flowers on inaccessible heights.")Iris: Oniichan, you look bad when you're embarrassed!Sakura: Oogami-san............

    Oogami: Whew...... it's already that time......So many things have happened today...... I'll try sorting it out a bit......(1st option - about the Majinki and Kouma)The Majinki...... The key to unfastening the sealed Seimajou......And if it is used by the virtuous the strong power of the Kouma can bechecked......The Kouma...... Inhuman creatures that have fought with humans since long,long ago......A powerful enemy with whom the Kuronosukai do not even compare......If the Majinki were to come into their hands, the strong power they have nowwould increase and overflow the earth......If that were to happen, we alone could not stop them............Only we must not give them the Majinki......(2nd option - about the Haja no Chikara)The Haja no Chikara......The spiritual power held and used by Sakura-kun's father......The Shinguuji house in which the Haja no Chikara is inherited......Her father died without explaining the means of using the power......

    www.gamefaqs.com/dreamcast/258930-sakura-taisen/faqs/5256 24/56

    (3rd option - about the Seimajou)The Seimajou...... The castle of the Kouma sealed four hundred years ago......If the enemy's objective is to revive the Seimajou......then they will come here to take the Majinki by any and all means.I must protect the basement storeroom any way I can......

    For now, I think I've sorted everything on my mind.(1st option - search your mind)But...... wait...... I'm pulling something out......(1st option - the influence of the Haja no Chikara)The Haja no Chikara............The ones who can use it, the people with the ` [ f W z (?) bloodline......Colonel Shinguuji...... Sakura-kun's father defeated the Kouma using the Haja no Chikara.And at that time lost his life...... Does the power go to the extent of taking a person's life?(2nd option - the reason the Majinki is in the Imperial Theatre)Protecting the Majinki, protecting Teito......Protecting Teito is the TeikokuKagekidan's mission......And above that is the Majinki, and since continuously guarding it isnecessary, it is here......(3rd option - the Kouma Sensou)In the battle with the Kouma...... Colonel Shinguuji, Sakura-kun's father,died.What's more, Major Yamazaki Shinnosuke is unaccounted for...... what kind ofpeople were those two, I wonder?The TaiKoumaButai that fought agains the Kouma even without the Soul ChildArmor......If an entire war should occur again against the Kouma......There cannot be another Kouma Sensou......

    Hm? Who is it? ......Come in.(Note that the girl with whom you are closest will enter now. Sakura ismerely an example.)Ah...... Sakura-kun......Sakura: Oogami-san! Where did you go until now!?Oogami: Sa- Sakura-kun. ......What is this?Sakura: I'm the one asking that. Where did you go and what did you do withAyame-san!?Oogami: W- well............ th- that is......Sakura: It seems you can't say.Oogami: No, that's not it!Sakura: Then please tell me. I am a member of the Hana-Division!Oogami: Wh...... what should I do!?(1st option - tell the truth)Oogami: The truth is......Sakura: The truth is......?Oogami: This is our greatest secret, and I was told never to tell anyone,but......Sakura: ......?Oogami: It seems that the enemy's objective is sacred tools called theMajinki......Sakura: Majinki?Oogami: Right now the power of the Kouma is sealed by the effect of thoseMajinki.But if those Majinki were to fall into the enemy's hands, then this world

    would most likely......Sakura: ......Can that be!? Where are those Majinki?Oogami: They exist in a room in the Imperial Theatre. Protecting them insecret to the death is my and Ayame-san's duty.(Ayame-san's and my duty? The duty of me and Ayame-san? The duty ofAyame-san and me? Damn the English language!)......Do you understand? Do you think I had said something good to you in the beginning?(Somebody smack me if I ever claim to know Japanese again......)Sakura: Oogami-san......Oogami: (Sakura-kun doesn't know......)(about her father...... the sacrifice he made......)Sakura: Oogami-san?Oogami: (If she knew that...... then undoubtedly, Sakura-kun......)(Sakura-kun mustn't know that......)Sakura-kun......Sakura: ......?Oogami: I will definitely protect you and everyone in the Hana-Division......Sakura: O- Oogami-san......Oogami: Let's fight the Kouma together!Sakura: ......Yes!

    Kanna: What the...... well, aren't they in a good mood?Sumire: What's with you, ensign! After Ayame-san is Sakura-san? Aren't youa bit indecisive!?Kohran: What's with you, Sumire-han? Isn't it a bit crooked for you toconcern yourself?Sumire: Wh- what did you say!?Kohran: Now now, don't get upset. ......But it's a bit odd that Oogami-han isstill hiding something from us.

    (2nd option)Oogami: Are there no good ideas? Everyone.(on Kanna)Kanna: Hmm...... Well, if it were me, I'd go right in through the front.No matter what the enemy...... I wasn't taught to run away......Sumire: Even if we could at this time, how do you intend to break inside from the front? You hopeless fool......Kanna: Heh...... It's the only talent I have.(didn't get this)Sumire: Honestly, you...... Ensign, what do you think of Kanna's battle plan?(1st option)Oogami: It's an idea......Kanna: Isn't it? After all, a woman is courage.Maria: But, the enemy's defense should be iron-clad. Isn't it too dangerous?Oogami: Maria is also right.

Now matter how strong they may look, there must be a weak point.If we find out what it is, we may be able to do something.

    Yoneda: ......Everyone, listen. The truth is, there is only one way to hitthem.The thing we fear most is the activation of the Soul Child Cannon.Since the Seimajou has just been activated, the Soul Child Cannon should nothave collected enough energy yet......Oogami: Yes......Yoneda: We must penetrate inside the Seimajou now and destroy the Soul ChildCannon before it has completed preparations!Then we should have a chance to win. But......Oogami: It isn't...... as easy as that.Yoneda: But the Seimajou is the Kouma's base of operations! We can onlyestimate how many of the enemy there may be.And.....
