Quick summaries of Japanese games

Scene 3: The World Tree Bears Fruit

Back in the World of Angels, the appearance of the Heaven's Express causes much excitement. The angel right by the portal tells you to quickly take the star auras you've collected to the World Tree. It looks like something big is about to happen, the angel says. One angel nearby also talks about the Heaven's Express and how it's supposed to take the angels to the promised land. Another angel says that everyone appears to be heading out to check the tree and wonders what's going on. Others comment on how the the angels' role in the human world appears to be nearing an end and wonder what will happen to humans from this point on. If you haven't done so, check the room on the lower right of the first floor for an item in the chest. Breaking one of the nearby pots reveals another item.

The Heaven's Express makes Rafette remember the angel Ergios, but he catches himself and remembers the subject is taboo. He also mentions that the incident involving Rafette occurred hundreds of years ago. The angels' historian, meanwhile, talks about how shocked he is to find out that humans can sometimes rewrite history for their own convenience. Back in Omui's quarters, the angels tell you that the elder has left with Eziel in quite a rush. One of them says he's never seen Omui this happy before. Head up to the World Tree again. Outside, the angel who mentioned the strange shooting stars expresses surprise that the things that she saw were actually the Heaven's Express. Others appear excited about its arrival and angels' impending return to heaven. Meanwhile, the guard informs you that Omui and Eziel are up ahead at the World Tree, and the fact that they're there means something is about to happen. At the root area, an angel remarks about the energy emanating from the tree. To the right just before you go up the tree area, you can catch an angel who snuck up to the area to see what's going on.

Your arrival at the World Tree makes Eziel quite excited and he talks about how the tree is brimming with energy and should be close to bearing fruit. Eziel then asks you to offer the star auras you collected to the tree so the angels can finally earn eternal salvation and go to the promised land. Once you offer up the star auras, watch a dramatic scene unfold. SHINGENMOCHI
