Transcendent of Crystallis
Hello there, stranger. You look like a battle or two doesn't affect you but what if I told you I have gear that can aid you greatly where other, regular, traditional weapons and armor lock in both style and strength. Interested now, are you? Then let's begin.
Who are you?
The name's Kotaro. You can say I'm a little bit of a…collector. Crystals always fascinated me. Did you know you can do so much with them?

It's great travelling alternate dimensions and realities, but what's even greater is that I can share some of my Crystallis tech with you over here!
Multiverse?
It brings back quite the memories, coming back into this dimension. So, what brings you to this world or to us, this game… hero?
Crystallis?
This dimension along with the multitude of dimensions and alternate realities which you coincide in, exists in harmony - the conflict between Good and Evil, Chaos and Order is just a vicious cycle of balance. To have a constant equilibria is not a mere anecdote but something preordained through the Crystallis.

Happy feasting, Hero! The name's Kotaro. It's great travelling alternate dimensions and realities hunting new objects to add to my collections, but right now, the only quest I'm interested is the one YOU are about to go on… to gather all my birthday gifts to you!

Oh hey there friend! You don’t look like you’re from around here…Welcome to Akiba! Well, not the Akiba YOU know, this is just…a far off future of Akiba. It’ll be quite a long while before you see anything relatively like this starting in Akiba - perhaps not even in your current lifetime.
The Rift?
Hmm…so it appears you came through a rift from present day Akiba. Yes…there have been a few anomalies in this world recently. I didn’t expect such a thing could happen after- Nevermind that! Well, enjoy the glimpse of the future!
Onsen?
What's an Onsen? Well they’re Akiba’s natural hot springs! This onsen in particular is just so relaxing. It was established by the Crystallis. I make it a routine to come here at least once a week. The baths here really rejuvenate your body and soul. It’s a good escape from the stresses you’ll find in the city. You should try it out!
Crystallis?
The Crystallis is an organization which governs this world or should I say, this version of Akiba. It’s leader is the Archivist, she maintains the order of this world. The fact that you’re here though means that something’s off. Well let's not drown ourselves in politics. Lets just sit back and relax in the Onsen.
The City?
Unfortunately, the train lines to the city are down. You’re gonna have to wait for a while till they fix it.

The convenience store should be right up ahead. Go in there and grab some snacks that look good! Oh, money? Don’t worry, the owner.. Uh… knows me! You should be able to grab whatever you want!

After completing the 'Snack Run' quest:
Citizen of Future Akiba
Wait a minute! We don’t have any Credits for tickets! This stinks! I know! We can always… "ask" some of the Civilians around here for money! If that’s not your style, I guess you can dig through some trash to find some recyclables… Either way, come back to me when you get the tickets!

After completing the 'Get a Ticket' quest:
Citizen of Future Akiba
Uh oh! Crystallis soldiers! I… uh… wonder what they want! We can’t let them catch us! Trust me! You are going to have to hold them off until the train arrives! Those Soldiers will keep coming unless we take out the one leading them! They must be hiding at the front of the train!

After completing the 'Shinkansen Key' quest:
Citizen of Future Akiba
There shouldn’t be Saints this far outside the city! I was hoping to avoid them entirely! Especially these two creeps! Our only chance at escaping is fighting them off long enough for the train to stop or they get bored… And they don’t bore easily, I’m afraid.
