<i>[Aleph would perk up at the mention of his name by a voice he had never heard, and still felt strangely familiar. Turning around calmly, he would see both the young man with a cat, and young woman with the blue hair. He would keep a polite smile on his face before placing his right hand gently on his own chest.]</i> Yes, that would me. But... who are you two, miss, mister? Do you perhaps need help with something? I'll be glad to help if that is the case. <i>[Behind Aleph laid a city full of lights and life which, given the position in which Raidou and Prima are, can't make out completely. However, they can make up the shape of a pyramid-like building in the distance.]</i>

<i>[Aleph would think it over for a couple of moments before looking through the small pouch on his back. He would pull out a book that had seen better days labeled as &quot;Demonic Compendium: Volume 20&quot; with no visible author. After flipping through the pages, he would remain in one for a solid minute. After that, he would open his mouth in surprise and show the pair what he had found. It was a pair of black and white pictures of a summoning tube in an idle form, and then another of a person in similar clothes to Raidou using it to summoning an unseen demon while a cat watches.]</i> I believe you; it says right here that the summoning tubes were replaced by mechanical means of summoning around the 1980s, and that most were destroyed as to stop civilians from ever using them, or even to fall in the wrong hands. I use the Demon Summoning Program for example, just like some of the Temple Knights... namely the Kuzunoha clan. <i>[Aleph would put the book back inside his pouch and then pull out another. It reads &quot;New Millennium&quot;.]</i> Not to mention the cat, Gouto. That was the biggest give away, that book mentioned something about a him. So, if you really do use those tubes, and you are the 14th, then you must be a Time Tourist, as you say. I'm sorry I didn't trust you right away, but you must understand my position, Raidou, Prima and Gouto. <i>[He would raise the book on his hand before clearing his throat.]</i> This is the year 2079, and this is the city of Tokyo Millennium, specifically the Center district. You could call this place the core from which you can go to all the other districts and where the central government is, all run by the Messians since the 2050s. And recently... you may have seen it already, but I was appointed as the Messiah of Millennium after defeating another Temple Knight... the &quot;Anti-Messiah&quot; named Daleth. At least, everyone else calls him that. <i>[He would offer the book to the pair.]</i> That book alone should have much of the history of this city but... <i>[He would look back at the party before getting closer and whisper.]</i> Just don't let anyone from the Church of the Messians catch you with it. <i>[He would wink at them before moving back a bit.]</i> Do you all need anything else? Like I said, I will be glad to help however I can.

Of course, I will tell you all I know about them. <i>[Aleph would once again clear his throat before speaking.]</i> The Church of the Messiah is the leading religion, the official one for this theocracy. I remember reading in one book about this one place called &quot;Vatican&quot;, which was more or less the same kind of deal. Next, the Temple Knights. They are an elite police force which serves under the direct command of the Center, filled with incredibly powerful people who can take on even demons and those of the Cult of Gaea. They, of course, enforce the law in the city, and are the top citizens. After them, are the Center residents, followed by people who have managed to obtain an Arm Terminal, and finally, those who are simply part of the city. <i>[He would then turn around and beckon the group to gaze down at the city with him.]</i> If you are looking for your fellow Kuzunoha, the 39th and the 40th, then you will have to take the elevator right outside the room we were in and go down to the first floor. Then, you will want to head down to that one building by exiting through the main hall and walking by the main street. <i>[He would point down at a pretty close building with a distinct white and blue color to it, which shined brighter than those around it.]</i> It's pretty close, so you can't miss it. Just go in and ask for any of them. If you hurry you may actually catch up to 40th, who was here just a moment before you three came to talk to me. <i>[He would look at all three then and give them a thumbs up.]</i> That is all, anything else you may want to know regarding the past is in that book, or most of it. Also… be careful, recently some demons broke in and there may be some still roaming around.

<i>[Primarina would step forward towards the edge of the balcony that overlooks the somewhat hazy city. At first, the lights make it hard to see, but soon enough the buildings below do appear. All had a similar architecture style to it, grey like a reminder of an unfinished city which still has too much in its mind to worry about looking nicely all around, all of them of at least five floors, topping at the very skies above. Once the massive skyscrapers finally come to view, most being closer to the center; the pyramid that goes beyond two thousand meters in height; is it clear that no one in the usual city would be able to replicate such views, not in a couple of decades. The white lights coming from the searchlights from somewhere in the multitude of streets, it was clear that this place was way bigger than Tokyo has ever been. She would find herself to be near the top of one of the seemingly taller buildings, and even then, there is no end to it all in sight.]</i> A... Time Tourist? I have heard of something like that before, but I did not think it was real, just experiments that have not worked so far. <i>[After this, Aleph would press his index finger on his chin.]</i> It's a pleasure to meet you both... but if you say you are Raidou Kuzunoha the XIV, as you say you supposedly are, then you will have to prove it. So far, the Temple Knights have two of such clan, the 39th, and the 40th, who was at the party back there, I believe, watching the...match. <i>[The young man would drop his arms.]</i> I'm afraid that I can't reveal much else until you prove you are who you say you are. If you cannot, I will have to call security so they take you both for questioning, but if you truly can, then you have my word in that I will do my best to assist you.
