All of the Anima have gathered together here. It all unfolded at the end of the summer, when the heat still hung in the air. Are you ready for the "Wondrous World of Weaponry"? This glorious festival to all things Anima is held once every four years. Mira has found herself invited as a special guest, told by the organizers that she's sure to find real value in taking part. It seems all of this came about at the behest of the Ghost Guild itself. In any case, Mira couldn't be more fired up about the whole thing. |
| Mira |
Wow! So this is where the "Wondrous World of Weaponry" contest takes place! It's the Anima Tower! We'd better check out the rules and regulations before heading in. |
| Narrator |
Aim for the top! |
| Mira |
...That's it. I think that's just about simple enough to remember! Anima from all over the world have gathered here. For me, this is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I'm so happy to be here! I just hope that I'll get along with all my fellow Anima. Oh, the rules and regulations continue... Let me see... |
| Narrator |
Collect soul fragments as you ascend the tower! |
| Mira |
Hmmm... Soul fragments, huh? These are special gems that are said to appear in places where Anima have been. There must be a whole lot of them lying about on a day like this. Well, I'm as ready as I'll ever be! Master, you look like you're ready to go too. Let's head on in! |
| Susanoo |
Hey, you. Do you have anything to do with this tower? |
| Mira |
Erm... Well, I guess. In a way... |
| Susanoo | I see. In that case, I need you to seal this entire place. And I mean right now. |
| Mira |
W-Wait a minute! We can't do that! The contest is about to begin! The idea is to see which Anima can make it to the top first. |
| Susanoo |
You're saying I need to wait till that's over? Not a chance. Time is of the essence. |
| Mira |
Beside, it's not like I really have the right to just seal the tower, anyway. I'm just a participant, after all. |
| Susanoo |
What? You mean you're not in charge of the tower? You're just a gosh-darned time waster! |
| Mira |
Er... What's going on? |
| Susanoo |
Okay, but don't be shocked when I tell you... Yamata no Orochi, the most evil of them all, is attempting to stage a comeback. |
| Mira |
Y-Yamata no Orochi! You mean that dragon with all the heads... The one that kind of looks like a boss character in a video game? |
| Susanoo |
Correct. I slew it once before, but the time of its reawakening is at hand. |
