K-Cafe OwnerWelcome!
K-Cafe OwnerYou're Ms. Kuremi's assistant? She hired an assistant?
K-Cafe OwnerWow. So you get to bask in her radiant beauty to your heart's content whenever you want, huh?
K-Cafe OwnerI'm so jealous! It's outrageous! Truly outrageous!
K-Cafe OwnerYes? What is it?
K-Cafe OwnerWhat?
K-Cafe OwnerWhat? What?!
K-Cafe OwnerHang on, Sacchan! Quitting out of the blue like that kinda puts me in a bind!
K-Cafe OwnerNegotiate? F-For what?
K-Cafe OwnerYikes!

K-Cafe OwnerYou wanna know how the AC broke? Beats me. I have no idea.
K-Cafe OwnerIt's odd. We don't have a central unit anymore, so how could everyone's AC go out?
K-Cafe OwnerHuh? You don't know about the central unit?
K-Cafe OwnerBack when this place first opened, there was a big underground unit that controlled the AC for the whole building.
K-Cafe OwnerThe way it worked was that every store circulated that cool air up to their stores with fans.
K-Cafe OwnerWhy was there a central unit underground at all?
K-Cafe OwnerWell, that was to refrigerate a certain something. Ahaha, what do you think it was?
K-Cafe OwnerIt was Japan's oldest vacuum tube computer! Can you believe it!?
K-Cafe OwnerThe room that computer was housed in was right here in Nakano!
K-Cafe OwnerSad to say, I have no idea what happened to it. There's nothing left of it anymore.
K-Cafe OwnerAnd even if there were, there are no records left. Nobody remembers where it was, either.
K-Cafe OwnerThe room itself might as well be an urban legend.
K-Cafe OwnerI can tell you one thing, it's really cold... Although it's done wonders for coffee sales today.
K-Cafe OwnerSure feels like the old central unit going out.
K-Cafe OwnerOne thing's for certain, it's cold as hell... Although its done wonders for coffee sales today.
K-Cafe OwnerBrrr, god it's gotten cold in here. Time to brew up a pot of coffee, I think...
K-Cafe OwnerI heard from Kyoko that you guys found that old vacuum tube computer inside this very cafe! Who'd have ever thought you'd find it in here!?
K-Cafe OwnerWill I ever dig it all out? Good question... Maybe. There's definitely a certain allure to unearthing old treasures like that.
K-Cafe OwnerBut it's also just nice knowing it's there, too. That's what Nakano Broadway's all about, after all, finding rare gems...

K-Cafe OwnerSorry, Player.
K-Cafe OwnerI didn't want things to get violent.
K-Cafe OwnerAnd Mushroomon didn't mean any harm. Please forgive us.
K-Cafe OwnerSo you know about Digimon? That makes things easier.
K-Cafe OwnerThere's something special about you. I guess I'd better explain.
K-Cafe OwnerFirst let me say I don't intend to hurt you. I have my reasons for all this.
K-Cafe OwnerEveryone who drinks kopi jawak gets brought here straight afterwards.
K-Cafe OwnerThe shock makes ordinary people lose consciousness, but not you.
K-Cafe OwnerI forgot you're a gifted hacker.
K-Cafe OwnerI brought you to cyberspace to extract your memories.
K-Cafe OwnerI use Mushroomon's power to take the experience of drinking kopi jawak from your mind.
K-Cafe OwnerThis should be the first time you've ever experienced the thrill of kopi jawak.
K-Cafe OwnerThis is where I take that memory from you.
K-Cafe OwnerI know what you want to ask.
K-Cafe OwnerWhy let people drink kopi jawak if I'm just going to steal their memory of it?
K-Cafe OwnerThat's what you're thinking, isn't it?
K-Cafe OwnerThe answer is simple.
K-Cafe OwnerI want people to be able to experience the incredible taste and sensation.
K-Cafe OwnerBut there's a problem. Kopi jawak is extremely expensive at 10 million yen a cup.
K-Cafe OwnerIt doesn't seem fair that only the super-rich will ever get to try it.
K-Cafe OwnerI was desperate to find a solution.
K-Cafe OwnerAs a last resort, I came up with the idea of selling the memory of drinking kopi jawak to wealthy elderly people.
K-Cafe OwnerThey're the ones who could afford to buy it despite the hefty price. But they can't drink coffee because of their poor health.
K-Cafe OwnerBut when you know you can't have something, it just makes you want it even more.
K-Cafe OwnerI suppose that's the nature of desire.
K-Cafe OwnerSo I implant the pleasure of drinking this amazing coffee directly into the brain.
K-Cafe OwnerBut I don't think young people should miss out on the chance to experience the thrill of drinking the world's best coffee.
K-Cafe OwnerThat's just the type of question I'd expect an outstanding hacker like you to ask.
K-Cafe OwnerThat's what I originally intended to do.
K-Cafe OwnerYou have to consider the type of wealthy people who buy the memory of drinking kopi jawak...
K-Cafe OwnerThey want that amazing experience all to themselves.
K-Cafe OwnerThey want to feel that they are the only ones to taste it. If anyone could do it, it would be worthless.
K-Cafe OwnerThere's also another reason I erase the memory of people who've drunk it, but it's not as important as that one.
K-Cafe OwnerOnce a person has tasted kopi jawak, the desire to drink it again can become all-consuming.
K-Cafe OwnerI've experienced it firsthand. That's why it's essential that I erase the memory.
K-Cafe OwnerDo you think it's pointless that I want people to taste it but am then forced to erase all memory of the experience? I certainly do... Hahaha...
K-Cafe OwnerI hope you understand the situation, Player.
K-Cafe OwnerI do this so everyone has the chance to try coffee that would usually cost 10 million yen a cup.
K-Cafe OwnerThank you. So please allow me to proceed.
K-Cafe OwnerI'll only erase a small portion of your memory. It's completely safe and you won't feel a thing.
K-Cafe OwnerYou want to know about the girl?
K-Cafe OwnerWell...it's not good news.
K-Cafe OwnerI planned to extract her memory while you were fighting Mushroomon, but she wouldn't let me near her.
K-Cafe OwnerI'd never usually do such a thing, but I had no choice but to take extra steps.
K-Cafe OwnerOf course she's okay. I promise.
K-Cafe OwnerSorry, I didn't explain that very well.
K-Cafe OwnerTo be specific, I had to extract a little more of her memory than I usually would.
K-Cafe OwnerThere's no need to worry. It won't affect her everyday life.
K-Cafe OwnerShe'll only experience that amazing sensation once. I've already sold the memory.
K-Cafe OwnerIf I'd left her with that memory, she'd be overcome by the desire to drink kopi jawak again.
K-Cafe OwnerThat wouldn't be good for her.
K-Cafe OwnerWe'd better get back to the cafe.
K-Cafe OwnerI'll extract the kopi jawak experience from your memory.
K-Cafe OwnerYou won't just forget the taste; you'll go back to being who you were before you ever heard of kopi jawak and K-Cafe's secret.
K-Cafe OwnerAre you ready?
K-Cafe OwnerOne more thing...
K-Cafe OwnerI'll also erase your memory of the fact that I'm a hacker who knows of the Digimon's existence.
K-Cafe OwnerI just want to continue my quiet life as a cafe owner.
K-Cafe OwnerI love that cafe. I hope you do too.
Hacker's Memory 195 HM 30 lines
K-Cafe OwnerHi there, Player.
K-Cafe OwnerWhat a surprise. You've brought a friend.
K-Cafe OwnerHe's done a lot for us.
K-Cafe OwnerWow, I never knew you had a girlfriend, and such a pretty one at that.
K-Cafe OwnerI'm glad to hear it.
K-Cafe OwnerSeeing as she's your girlfriend, I guess that makes her as good as a regular.
K-Cafe OwnerIsn't that right, Player?
K-Cafe OwnerOh, our regulars like to write personal messages on the wall.
K-Cafe OwnerHahaha, go ahead. To commemorate the first visit by Player's special girl.
K-Cafe OwnerDo you want the usual "gross" coffee?
K-Cafe OwnerI wonder what the weather will be like tomorrow? I heard it might rain.
K-Cafe OwnerYou'd need to come a bit more often before I could consider you a regular.
K-Cafe OwnerHuh? Top secret coffee?
K-Cafe OwnerYes, there is a top secret coffee. Would you like to try it?
K-Cafe OwnerIt's called "kopi jawak."
K-Cafe OwnerThe beans are fermented in the bodies of pregnant civets. Only enough for 18 cups per year is produced worldwide.
K-Cafe OwnerOf which we have six cups.
K-Cafe OwnerTwo cups coming right up.
K-Cafe OwnerLook, these are the beans. I need to roast them first. Please wait.
K-Cafe OwnerNo, it's on the house.
K-Cafe OwnerI don't want your money, but I have one condition.
K-Cafe OwnerCome on. I'm not like that.
K-Cafe OwnerIt's not difficult. Just never tell anyone that you drank it.
K-Cafe OwnerIt's ready.
K-Cafe OwnerHehehe.
K-Cafe OwnerI'm afraid you can't do that. You promised you wouldn't tell anyone. That includes social media.
K-Cafe OwnerIt's almost at the perfect drinking temperature. After savoring the aroma and the first mouthful, it's best to finish the rest in one go.
K-Cafe OwnerYou too, Player. Drink up.
K-Cafe OwnerThe flavor changes with every second that passes. The taste will be at its peak for the next five seconds.
K-Cafe OwnerOnly three seconds left, Player. Are you going to drink it or not?
Hacker's Memory 196 HM 22 lines
K-Cafe OwnerAre you okay, Player?
K-Cafe OwnerYou look half asleep.
K-Cafe OwnerYou must be tired. Been burning the midnight oil?
K-Cafe OwnerHahaha, it's your name. One of your friends must have drawn that as a joke.
K-Cafe OwnerThey must be making fun of the fact that you'll never get a girlfriend.
K-Cafe OwnerNo idea. Is there a famous person with that name who you've got a crush on?
K-Cafe OwnerIt must just be someone's idea of a joke. Shall I get rid of it?
K-Cafe OwnerI thought that was unusual as well. You usually only sit there when you come with someone else.
K-Cafe OwnerOr maybe you arranged to meet someone?
K-Cafe OwnerMaybe you just like this place so much, you come here on autopilot, without even thinking about it. I'm glad if that's the case.
K-Cafe OwnerI think you need some caffeine to clear your head.
K-Cafe OwnerHere's your usual.
K-Cafe OwnerHey, I can see what you're thinking.
K-Cafe OwnerYou don't have to order it if you don't like it. I'd be hurt, though.
K-Cafe OwnerHold on a sec.
K-Cafe OwnerHello there. Oh, I've never seen you here before.
K-Cafe OwnerSit anywhere you like. What can I get you?
K-Cafe OwnerYou're talking nonsense, Player. She's confused now.
K-Cafe OwnerI think it's actually quite good.
K-Cafe OwnerTry it and decide for yourself.
K-Cafe OwnerComing right up!
K-Cafe OwnerBut it's a shame you don't like coffee, a real shame...

K-Cafe OwnerEek! What's that?!
K-Cafe OwnerLet's keep going. We have to find Rico's sister.
K-Cafe OwnerYou lead the way. Keep your wits about you.
Hacker's Memory 226 HM 13 lines
K-Cafe OwnerWhere's this girl's sister? Did you eat her?!
K-Cafe OwnerI see. You seem reasonable enough.
K-Cafe OwnerLet me ask you something else. Did you create this floor? Why does it look exactly the same as our fourth floor?
K-Cafe OwnerSo it wasn't you who made this place look just like our fourth floor? Hmm, I see...
K-Cafe OwnerYeah, I think so too.
K-Cafe OwnerOf course. But you should leave too.
K-Cafe OwnerThis is also for your own good.
K-Cafe OwnerI'll leave that to you. Oh, just one more thing!
K-Cafe OwnerSorry for disturbing your sleep.
K-Cafe OwnerAnyone would be irritated at having their sleep disturbed. I know exactly how you feel.
K-Cafe OwnerAll right, I think we're done here.
K-Cafe OwnerI don't know what will happen to this space now that he's gone.
K-Cafe OwnerLet's get her sister back to the real K-Cafe.
Hacker's Memory 227 HM 36 lines
K-Cafe OwnerAh, I've been expecting you. Sorry to make you come all the way here.
K-Cafe OwnerYeah, I'm sure he's the man for the job.
K-Cafe OwnerThis young lady is Rico, the client.
K-Cafe OwnerYou're worried about me? How kind.
K-Cafe OwnerOh, so it's not me you're worried about. Hahaha...
K-Cafe OwnerOh, we got a little off topic there. Sorry about that.
K-Cafe OwnerThat urban legend has been doing the rounds in Nakano for ages. Every schoolkid knows it.
K-Cafe OwnerBut it might be more than just an urban legend...
K-Cafe OwnerI know what you're thinking. That this is a matter for the police, not a hacker. Am I right?
K-Cafe OwnerWe reported it, but Rico's sister is 16.
K-Cafe OwnerI guess your parents don't trust you...
K-Cafe OwnerContinue, Rico.
K-Cafe OwnerI couldn't just stand by and do nothing.
K-Cafe OwnerI tried asking with the police as well. They've recorded her as a runaway, but they're not actually doing anything to look for her.
K-Cafe OwnerRico, tell him about when she went missing.
K-Cafe OwnerDon't rush her. Let her finish.
K-Cafe OwnerAnd he'll be the one investigating. You'll be busy working here.
K-Cafe OwnerNot that I remember. What happened next?
K-Cafe OwnerOf course not. You're here every day. You'd know.
K-Cafe OwnerNo, we haven't had any customers with a dog.
K-Cafe OwnerEr...Sacchan...let's not talk about that right now.
K-Cafe OwnerSacchan and I were here as normal. We hadn't seen her sister or a dog.
K-Cafe OwnerI can think of two possibilities.
K-Cafe OwnerA mysterious disappearance related to the occult, or an accident caused by an elevator malfunction.
K-Cafe OwnerIt's probably best to start with the most realistic one.
K-Cafe OwnerThe reason I hired Hudie is because I need someone to investigate the elevator control system.
K-Cafe OwnerOh, nothing.
K-Cafe OwnerHow about we retrace Rico and her sister's steps? It might help the investigation.
K-Cafe OwnerJust that. We recreate exactly what happened.
K-Cafe OwnerStart by going down to the first floor and getting in the elevator.
K-Cafe OwnerIf the rumors are true, Rico's sister isn't the only person to disappear in mysterious circumstances.
K-Cafe OwnerLet's do exactly the same thing and see if we can find anything unusual with the elevator control system.
K-Cafe OwnerI think it's a good place to start. How about you?
K-Cafe OwnerOkay, let's do it.
K-Cafe OwnerI'll leave you in charge. I have to go, to get to the bottom of this Nakano mystery. No, wait... I mean, to save Rico's sister.
K-Cafe OwnerI will. All right, let's go!
Hacker's Memory 228 HM 15 lines
K-Cafe OwnerIs this the elevator you took?
K-Cafe OwnerThen let's get in. You monitor the elevator control system.
K-Cafe OwnerWhat did you do next, Rico?
K-Cafe OwnerYou or your sister?
K-Cafe OwnerWhat do you mean? We need to recreate the exact same conditions.
K-Cafe OwnerIt's possible to cancel a button once it's been pressed. Different elevators have different ways of doing it.
K-Cafe OwnerIt's like a cheat code in a game. Interesting, isn't it?
K-Cafe OwnerDo you remember which order she cancelled them in?
K-Cafe OwnerPress the third, then the second, then the second floor three times, then the third floor three times, and finally the fourth floor...
K-Cafe OwnerLooks like it worked. The elevator's moving.
K-Cafe OwnerHow's the elevator control system looking?
K-Cafe OwnerAn error? There's definitely something strange going on.
K-Cafe OwnerWe might have hit the jackpot.
K-Cafe OwnerOh, nothing.
K-Cafe OwnerI wonder where we are. Proceed with caution.
Hacker's Memory 229 HM 6 lines
K-Cafe OwnerThe lights are on, but there's no one here.
K-Cafe OwnerAt first glance, it looks exactly like the fourth floor we just came from, but something about it doesn't feel quite right.
K-Cafe OwnerI see... So you and your sister were exploring this floor when you encountered the dog at K-Cafe.
K-Cafe OwnerDon't worry. We're with you this time.
K-Cafe OwnerPlayer, I'm intrigued to know what's going on in K-Cafe, but let's investigate this floor first, just like Rico and her sister did.
K-Cafe OwnerLet's go to the arcade and back. Come on, Rico.
Hacker's Memory 230 HM 4 lines
K-Cafe OwnerThe door won't open. What's going on?
K-Cafe OwnerYou do it. If it won't open, I give you permission to smash it.
K-Cafe OwnerI'm not completely sure it's my cafe, but it looks like it. In any case, don't hold back.
K-Cafe OwnerPlease do it. Stand back, Rico.
Hacker's Memory 231 HM 41 lines
K-Cafe OwnerDid you get it back to EDEN?
K-Cafe OwnerThat's good. Her sister's resting inside.
K-Cafe OwnerShe should probably go to the hospital later, just to be on the safe side.
K-Cafe OwnerIt's not quite that simple. How to explain it...
K-Cafe OwnerThere's a rumor that this building has a magical
"3.5th floor" between the third and fourth floors.
"3.5th floor" between the third and fourth floors.
K-Cafe OwnerThat's what makes it so strange. Sometimes it's there and sometimes it's not.
K-Cafe OwnerThere are lots of urban legends about places that look like the real thing but are slightly different.
K-Cafe OwnerAccording to the stories, those places sometimes exist and sometimes do not.
K-Cafe OwnerIf someone inadvertently enters such a place while it exists, what do you think will happen to them once it disappears?
K-Cafe OwnerExactly.
K-Cafe OwnerThere have been tales about such strange phenomena in Nakano for a long time.
K-Cafe OwnerThe 3.5th floor legend also started in Nakano.
K-Cafe OwnerThat strange...creature... Is that the right word? That "doglike monster", as Sacchan put it...
K-Cafe OwnerIt must have inadvertently strayed into to the
3.5th floor while it was temporarily accessible.
3.5th floor while it was temporarily accessible.
K-Cafe OwnerWhen it was unable to leave, it changed the K-Cafe area into a bed where it felt comfortable.
K-Cafe OwnerBut then Rico and her sister unintentionally found themselves on the 3.5th floor.
K-Cafe OwnerWhen her sister entered its bed, it got irritated and put her to sleep. And that's how she went missing.
K-Cafe OwnerIt's possible. Luckily we made it in time.
K-Cafe OwnerIt never meant any harm. It just put her to sleep. It didn't hurt anyone.
K-Cafe OwnerIt was just another victim of the 3.5th floor. There was no reason to help Rico's sister and not help it.
K-Cafe OwnerHuh? That would never happen.
K-Cafe OwnerI didn't mean that! It came out wrong!
K-Cafe OwnerIt's impossible to get to the 3.5th floor now. That's what I wanted to say.
K-Cafe OwnerPlayer looked into it for me.
K-Cafe OwnerThere was an error with the control system when we pressed the buttons in a certain order. It sent a signal that would usually never be sent.
K-Cafe OwnerThat's right, isn't it?
K-Cafe OwnerI suspect it's that abnormal signal that caused the 3.5th floor to appear.
K-Cafe OwnerRico and her sister just happened to press the exact sequence of buttons to send the signal.
K-Cafe OwnerDon't worry. Player has fixed the elevator control system so it won't happen again.
K-Cafe OwnerHe's an excellent hacker.
K-Cafe OwnerLuckily I won't need to pay any compensation now.
K-Cafe OwnerThis world is full of mysteries, Sacchan.
K-Cafe OwnerWe should just be glad that Rico's sister's safe and well.
K-Cafe OwnerI'm tired. All I want to do now is sleep.
K-Cafe OwnerShe's right. I'm just glad everyone's okay.
K-Cafe OwnerIncluding that dog thing.
K-Cafe OwnerI think I'll just try to forget about all this
3.5th floor stuff for now.
3.5th floor stuff for now.
K-Cafe OwnerI don't care about that. I know basically what happened. I don't think anyone will ever know the full truth about the 3.5th floor.
K-Cafe OwnerAlthough I wouldn't be averse to investigating similar phenomena if the opportunity ever arises.
K-Cafe OwnerI think a mystery or two makes Nakano a much more interesting place.
K-Cafe OwnerIt's always about the pay with you...

K-Cafe OwnerCome to think of it, when you head back, why don't you buy some takoyaki from the third floor to go with your coffee?

K-Cafe OwnerHey, where are you going? That's not the way.
K-Cafe OwnerIt's so strange. This place is usually bustling with people, but now it's completely deserted.
K-Cafe OwnerIt looks like exactly the same situation as when Rico came with her sister.
