Namco × Capcom/Story/S7:Post-Stage
Shinkai - Sky Temple, High Priestess's Room
High Priestess: "I see... Something like that happened in Busshitsukai..."
Reiji: "Yes, as I've said before... We wish to return to the real world... what you call 'Busshitsukai'."
High Priestess: "Unfortunately... You cannot go to Busshitsukai from here."
King: "...!?"
King: "Then that's different from what I heard at the temple!"
King: "Goddess Ishtar... One who bears the name of God...!"
Felicia: "W-wait a second, King! Calm down!"
Lolo: "Neither the High Priestess nor Ishtar are lying!"
Klonoa: "B-But... you can't go back, Lolo?"
Kurino: "Everyone, wait a moment."
Kurino: "...Isn't there more to it, High Priestess?"
High Priestess: "Yes... it is actually possible to go to Busshitsukai from here."
High Priestess: "However... a large-scale dimensional distortion occurred there... although I believe it is only temporary... that path has been blocked."
[Location: Shinra HQ]
Reiji: (Roppongi... This must be the result of the "Dimensional Seal" in front of HQ. Saya...!)
Fong Ling: "So there's no other way?"
Sabine: "Then there's no other option... but to get there from Makai?"
High Priestess: "...That's right."
[Location: King Enma's Room]
High Priestess: "The Demon Realm... another world that's the polar opposite of this one..."
High Priestess: "This is a way to have the power of King Enma, who rules that world, open the door to Busshitsukai."
Kyoko: "King Enma...?"
Kyoko: "King Enma?! Could you hold on for a moment?"
Hideo: "Wh-Why is a name that's familiar in our world popping up in this completely different world?"
Hideo: "No matter what you say..."
Nakamura: "No, that's not necessarily the case. Sensei. Try remembering what the Goddess Ishtar said."
Jin: "The world known as 'Makai' is... located next to the real world we live in... right?"
Reiji: "Yeah. ...Now that's clear."
Reiji: "'Kamaitachi' and 'Oni'... the legendary monsters our organization has fought basically came from that world..."
Reiji: "I don't know why, but King Enma's name and appearance must have been transmitted to our world."
Regina: "This is getting hard to understand..."
Regina: "Emma... What?"
Bruce: "Is this what they call Oriental Fantasy?"
Bruce: "Phew... I want to get back to my original world as soon as possible."
Shion: "But to do that, we have to pass through this other world called 'Makai.'"
Nakamura: "From what I've heard, it seems like a world close to 'Hell.'"
Jin: "A demon from Hell, huh?"
Jin: "I don't think there's any need to hesitate. I have to find Kazuya Mishima..."
Bruce: "That's right. From what we heard from Ishtar before, Ken Masters and the others are there too."
Bruce: "We can't just leave them there... if they're still alive, that is."
Hourin: "Don't say such ominous things, Bruce. Chun-Li is probably with them too. They won't die that easily."
High Priestess: "Then, let me guide you further in... There you will find the door to Makai."
High Priestess: "However... I have never met King Enma myself. I don't know his exact location..."
Felicia: "Don't worry! I don't remember much, but it's my hometown!"
Hsien-Ko: "I don't remember it at all, but I've been there."
King: "...That doesn't seem very reliable."
Lolo: "Everyone, be careful..."
Lolo: "Oh, that's right! What about Klonoa, Kurino, and the others?"
Klonoa: "I'm going! They've saved me twice, so I have to repay them!"
Lolo: "Klonoa-san..."
Klonoa: "Don't worry, Lolo. It'll be fine!"
Gantz: "I'm not the type to form gangs, but I don't want to owe you anything."
Gantz: (Plus, Janga has a big backing... We need to build up our fighting strength as well.)
Sabine: "...Are you planning something behind the scenes?"
Gantz: "W-What? I'm not thinking about nothing."
Kurino: "High Priestess, I'll go with them."
Kurino: "I want to return them safely to their world, and I have to repay the kindness they showed me."
Hsien-Ko: "You don't need to worry too much."
M.O.M.O. "It could get even more dangerous..."
Kurino: "That makes it all the more so."
Kurino: "Besides, sooner or later... we had to go to Makai."
Reiji: "It would be helpful to have someone from the local area. Can I count on all four of you?"
Felicia: "Local...right?"
Kurino: "I don't mind. Thank you, Reiji."
Klonoa: "Leave it to me!"
Sabine: "If Kurino goes..."
Gantz: "Ugh, I have no choice."
Reiji: "...Okay, let's go right away. Xiaomu, are you ready..."
Reiji: "Hmm? Hey, where's Xiaomu?"
Hsien-Ko: "Come to think of it... she hasn't been here for a while."
M.O.M.O. "I thought it was kind of quiet..."
KOS-MOS: "Momo Kanda, Sakura Kasugano, Karin Kanzuki... I haven't been able to locate these three for a while now."
Reiji: "What did you say?"
Reiji: "...Those people, don't tell me..."
Xiaomu: "Haa haa... P-please stop..."
Momo: "That's not good enough, Xiaomu-san!"
Sakura: "Come on, Xiaomu-chan!"
Karin: "We're not done talking yet!"
Shion: (...She really went behind the scenes...)
Xiaomu: "Reiji! It's because you said something unnecessary that I have to go through this!"
Xiaomu: "Why do I have to be lectured by three girls who've only been alive for a little over ten years?"
Xiaomu: "High school girls these days are so scary!"
Reiji: "...You brought it on yourself, show some remorse."
Makai - Gama Boss's Gambling Den, Dice Dojo
Gama Boss: "Here we go!"
Gama Boss: "..."
Gama Boss: "Phew, we managed to get back... It's so dangerous I can't even walk outside."
Gama Boss: "Some stranger I've never seen before is running the show, and my friends have been tricked by some strange spell and are doing whatever he says..."
Gama Boss: "What on earth is going on?"
Gama Boss: "...Yo!"
(Dice roll)
[Pinzoro]
Gama Boss: "...Hmph, it always comes out at a time like this."
Gama Boss: "Tarosuke, do your best."
(Dimensional Transfer)
Makai - In Front of Aensland Castle
Reiji: "Is everyone okay?"
Komu: "Oh... why does this kind of transference always have to be like, something flashing in front of your eyes, and then you get unceremoniously thrown out?"
Regina: "That's surprisingly standard."
Momo: "...Standard."
Momo: "B-But, just looking at this, it definitely looks like Hell's 2-chome."
Sakura: "Last time was 1-chome, and now it's 2-chome..."
Karin: "I don't really care about that."
Karin: "Conveniently enough, there's an old castle over there... Why don't we go there and ask about Enma's whereabouts?"
Hideo: "Hmm... To put it nicely, it has a certain charm... To put it bluntly, it feels ominous."
Felicia: "That castle... Ugh..."
King: "What's wrong, Felicia?"
Hsien-Ko: "...Aiyaaa."
Hsien-Ko: "That's definitely not good. It's probably best not to get involved..."
Sabine: "Huh... isn't this Aensland Castle?"
Gantz: "Aensland?"
Gantz: "...Hey, isn't this one of those factions vying for supremacy in Makai?"
Fong Ling: "Hey, what are you talking about?"
Fong Ling: "Could you explain?"
Kurino: "I heard it from Lady Valkyrie."
Kurino: "The Aenslands, the Voshtals, and the Dohmas... it seems that the three families known as the 'aristocracy' in this world were vying for supremacy."
Nakamura: "That's no laughing matter. It's a different world, so in the end, it's all about power and money, huh?"
Karin: "Oh, that's important. Without power and assets, you can't accomplish anything."
Klonoa: "It feels like you have no dreams or hopes..."
Klonoa: "So... Kurino, what's next?"
Kurino: "Yes. Currently, the head of the Voshtal family has died of illness, and the head of the Dohma family is missing... So, it seems the conflict remains suspended."
Kurino: "I heard that the head of the Aensland family has changed... but that's all I know."
Reiji: "So, for some reason, King Enma rules this place... so that's how it is."
Reiji: "I don't really get it, but first, we need to gather information on how to get there."
Felicia: "Oh, I don't want to go to that castle! It's a den of some terrible demons!"
Felicia: "There's another castle nearby, but..."
Jin: "If there's nowhere else to go, then this is the only place."
Jin: "I want information on him... Kazuya Mishima. I can't just relax in a place like this."
Sakura: "I want to find Ryu and the others..."
M.O.M.O.: "Um... there are two vital signs at the end of this path."
M.O.M.O. "There are other unidentifiable reactions here and there, but...two are definitely human."
Sakura: "What!? That means...Ryu and the others!?"
Shion: "You're definitely a scouting Realian, Momo-chan."
Shion: "But... two?"
Kyoko: "There are... three people missing, right?"
Nakamura: "Hmm... Is one of them somewhere else?"
Nakamura: "Arisu-kun, what are we going to do?"
Reiji: "Your opinions are all over the place. What should we do...?"
Xiaomu: "How about we split up? Even though we're going in opposite directions, we're not that far apart."
Bruce: "Acting as a team? That's the usual approach. I don't think it's a bad idea."
KOS-MOS: "If your goal is to gather information, then it seems like a reasonable suggestion."
Reiji: "You're right, let's do that..."
???: "Um, is it alright?"
Momo: "Whoa?! Who's that?"
Zuhl: "Hehehe, just in time."
[Location: High Priestess's Room]
Kurino: "Zuhl?! I didn't see you at the High Priestess's place. Where have you been?"
Zuhl: "I was out to get my business tools."
Zuhl: "Oh, I'm glad I made it in time."
Klonoa: "Business tools?"
Zulu: "That's exactly what I said."
Zulu: "They're such strong people. I figured they'd be ripping off a lot of money from the monsters. Hehehe."
Sabine: "You're the same as ever, Zuhl."
Sabine: "He's a traveling merchant."
Sabine: "...But he kind of a rip-off."
Gantz: "A rip-off?! Is he okay?"
Reiji: "A merchant?...There are all kinds of people in this world."
Reiji: "But too bad. We don't have any of this world's currency."
Xiaomu: "Hehehe..."
Xiaomu: "I expected something like this to happen, so I've been diligently picking up all the coin-shaped objects dropped by monsters."
Xiaomu: "See, this is it, isn't it?"
Zuhl: "Oh, that's right!"
Zuhl: "...I thought you were hoarding them after all. Hehehehe."
Sakura: "Yay! I've changed my opinion of you, Xiaomu!"
Komu: "Hmph, you're so greedy."
Komu: "Well, I guess it can't be helped... it involves cash."
Reiji: "...You're an adult, so don't do something shameless like that."
Reiji: "And it's not funny."
Xiaomu: "Eeek!"
Xiaomu: "You don't get to say that after stealing my savings!"
