Like any shopping center, we have a survivalist store run by a man terrifyingly paranoid of the end of the world. Not that we can blame him after how our day has gone.
There are four armor slots for the game: head, body, arms/hands, and legs. We’ll be buying a piece of each. Mom told us not to spend our allowance all in one place, but I think she’d be proud of our investment to protect ourselves, considering the knife wielding maniacs and people about babbling about the end of the world.
I’ll be holding you to that. Gotta say, as weird as he was he was a pretty nice guy.
These thugs we run into aren’t though. We better leave them alone for now.
…..Old lamps? Really, you’ve kind of got me there. Maybe this antique store will be worth checking out.
Man: It was creeping me out, though, so I delighted it really soon after. I hear the file’s somehow ending up on people’s computers. Have you checked yours?
Huh. This DDS-Net sure sounds popular, a lot more so than you’d usually think. At least it’s looking like the demon summoning program is ending up in more hands than we would have thought of. We should keep an eye on that.
There’s also a weapon store…or, rather, ‘knife shop’, that we can buy melee weapons from. Unfortunately, we splurged a bit too much on defensive gear to afford something for now. Oh well, maybe later. Know what? While we’re still going, let’s check that antique store out, see what might be up with that. It sounds like it might be more than it seems.
Huh. I guess that other dude was just talking out of his ass. It’s just antiques here, and this guy seems like he’s on the up and up. Nothing more to see here.
Y’know, we were told not to go behind the drug store, but I’m sure that guy is probably gone by now. With how out in force they are the cops must have caught him by now, so let’s go have a look see.
Shit.
You’re not sounding too good there, fella.
Slowly, the man’s body begins to fail, fading out as blood runs down his throat as he slumps to the ground. Behind him…
A demon appears. Our first for the game(6). I could swear that the Aeon Genesis’ fan translation of the SNES original had a line about the Preta tearing the man’s throat out, but its been years since I’ve played that version and I could be wrong. Either way, the demon took care of the local crazy man for us and now he’s gunning for us. Maybe we should have saved enough to get a weapon after all…
Luckily for us, the demon doesn’t really feel like fighting and runs away shortly thereafter. It still actually does about five points of damage to us before it leaves, though. In its wake…
I’ll be taking that, thank you.
Well, it’s been a long day. We’ve heard about murders, met a weird stalker lady who manages to penetrate our dreams, been harassed by thugs, and been attacked by a mad man and a horrible monster, and kind of sort of ran the errand we were out for. I think it’s time to head on home and get some sleep.
Night, mom. We’ll see you tomorrow.
